Isn’t July an exciting time of the year to be in our district – show fever is in the air!The 60th Dayboro Show was held last weekend, and this Saturday and Sunday it will be Samford’s turn to show off its rural wares.While our local rural shows have been rolling with the times and changing to make them remain relevant for modern patrons, the country fl avour on which these events were founded still lives on with the community spirit on display via the passion of show entrants.Whether it’s growing vegetables, riding a horse or baking a cake, these traditional elements remain the heart and soul of our rural shows. At stake is a shot at the Royal Queensland Show – the Ekka – in August.Not only do we have the Samford Show on 11-12 July but the Farm Fantastic Expo, one of the region’s biggest showcases of rural lifestyle, also returns to Caboolture this month.Before I forget, here’s hoping organisers of another country-fl avoured event – the Dayboro Rodeo – have better weather for their third go at hosting the event in August, after attempts to run the rodeo in May and June were spoiled by heavy rain.

By Damian Staveley
After the recent legalisation of same-sex marriage in Ireland and the United States, pressure is mounting
on local politicians to enact the historic social reform in Australia.
Last week details emerged of a Bill with cross-party support in favour of marriage equality, to be introduced by Liberal MP Warren Entsch and co-sponsored by Labor, The Greens and independents.
The latest opinion poll commissioned by lobby group Australian Marriage Equality found 72 per cent of Australians support same-sex marriage.
However, marriage equality faces many hurdles before it becomes reality. Fore-most is the need for the Liberal Party to be granted a conscience vote.
Without it, Coalition MPs will vote accord-ing to party policy, in opposition to same-sex marriage, or face claims of disloyalty.
Federal MPs representing The Westerner area are divided on the issue.
Member for Dickson Peter Dutton is fi rmly opposed to any change in the law.
Asked whether he has canvassed his electorate to determine the public’s opinion, whether he supported calls for a conscience vote, and what his vote would be, Mr Dutton’s response was: “I was elected at the last election stating my position against gay marriage and my
position has not changed.” Longman MP Wyatt Roy is a known
supporter of marriage equality. In a recent interview with Fairfax, he said he agreed with Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s statement that the Parliament and not an individual party should own any reform of marriage laws.
“I think this is something that many individual members of Parliament will have to consult their electorates and their own personal views,” Mr Roy said.
“I think in this debate a lot of people will surprise people and I think that if it’s owned by a political party it pushes that debate backwards.”
There are currently 391 organisations who have expressed their support for marriage equality through the Australian Marriage Equality website.
University of Queensland Union Pres-ident Kathryn Cramp said she listed her organisation’s support because marriage equality would signify cultural acceptance and would decrease discrimination, lead-ing to further reforms.
“While marriage equality will not solve many serious issues for the LGBTIQ community like youth homelessness and access to quality, understanding medical services, it does go a long way to show that Australians consider queer relationships equal to heterosexual relationships,” she said.

Jan is a member of the Pine Rivers Croquet Club at Brendale, one of only two clubs of its kind in the Moreton Bay region, which is hosting come and try days in July.
How I got involved in croquet… I was at a friend’s home for morning tea and they had a small croquet set-up in their back yard. I was shown the basics of the game and was ‘hooked’.What I love best about the sport… I love the challenge of mind and skill. I feel it is a cross between snooker and chess – skill versus strategy.The biggest misconceptions about croquet… are the thought you just have to hit a ball through a hoop and it would be boring. You don’t and it isn’t.The best things about Pine Rivers Croquet Club… are the people who are all welcoming, friendly and enjoy the social side of croquet as well as enjoying the challenge of the game.Attributes needed to be a good croquet player… You need to be able to have a ‘go’, not worry if the shot misses, have another ‘go’ and not take yourself too seriously. Enjoy being outside and with people you can laugh with.Other favourite sports I have played… I have played tennis, sailed and enjoyed netball until I became too old. Croquet is my game now – it stretches the mind and not the muscles, while still being exercise.Apart from playing croquet I enjoy… gardening, going to the gym and picnick-ing at Sandgate foreshore with friends and family.If a movie were made about my life I would be played by… Maggie Smith.The best piece of advice I have been given… My Mum always said “A smile costs you nothing” and “If you have nothing nice to say about someone – don’t say anything.”If I could make the world a better place… I would sprinkle kindness around.
Pine Rivers Croquet Club will run free come try days on Saturday 11 July and Sunday 19 July from 1pm to 3.30pm at Joe Davis Park, Deakin Street, Brendale. Phone 3298 5576 or email [email protected]

Mt Mee residents who have been living in a telecommunications black hole for years can now see
light at the end of the tunnel.A new mobile phone base station at Mt
Mee will be one of 499 new or upgraded mobile phone service sites across regional and remote Australia.
Announcing the base station with Parliamentary Secretary for Communi-cations Paul Fletcher last week, Federal Member for Longman Wyatt Roy said it would improve mobile phone coverage for tens of thousands of residents from Mt Mee to Bribie Island.
Mr Roy said better handheld or external antenna mobile coverage would result for more than 20 unique black spot locations in the district, as nominated by the comm-unity.
“A reliable mobile phone signal is critical to emergency responses, productivity and enhancing our area’s economic and tourism potential,” he said.
Long-time Mt Mee resident Ian Wells said he was “over the moon” at the announcement, adding “now it feels as though we’ll be entering the 21st century”.
“I have no mobile coverage at all from inside my house,” Mr Wells explained.
“We often don’t get SMS messages until
we drive down the road a couple of weeks later.”
Mr Wells said improved mobile phone services for the district would help to increase the safety of both local residents and visitors to the area.
“There’s no mobile phone coverage in Mt Mee in places of danger,” he explained. “If I hurt myself in my paddocks or people are lost in the forestry, we can’t ring up to get help.”
The new tower at Mt Mee will be built under the Federal Government’s $100 million Mobile Blackspot Program.
Under the fi rst round of the funding programme, Telstra will build 429 base stations around regional Australia, with the remaining 70 to be handled by Vodafone.
Mt Mee was one of more than 6000
telecommunications black spots with poor or no mobile coverage identifi ed by the Department of Communications.
As well as Mt Mee, Mr Roy nominated both Donnybrook and Bellthorpe as other priority areas for improved mobile home coverage “because of the volume of complaints” from residents.
He said the Federal Government would invest a further $60 million in Round 2 of the Mobile Blackspot Program, with sites expected to be announced by the end of 2016.
“That provides the opportunity for locals to nominate further locations for upgraded mobile phone service,” Mr Roy said.
“I am determined to continue the fi ght wherever poor local mobile coverage remains an issue.”

Green light for cadets unitTeaching core values within a military
framework is the mission for a new group designed for young people.
Samford is set to become just the seventh place in Queensland to boast its own Military Cadets unit.
The not-for-profi t organisation, separate from the Australian Defence Force Cadets scheme, is open to boys and girls between 11 and 18 years of age.
“I am aware... that some kids have travelled as far as 50km a night to other units in the south east corner,” Samford RSL President Jamie Whitehead said.
Military Cadets Development Manager Brendan Guy said four key values – leader-ship, courage, initiative and integrity – were taught to youngsters through activities such as abseiling, archery, parachuting, obstacle courses, fi rst aid, navigation skills and military tactics and drills.
He said the military experience of instructors, all past or current Australian army, navy or air force personnel, was “the
model and the vehicle” through which life lessons are imparted to cadets.
“We try to teach the good core values that people want in society… and that comes out through the military training,” Mr Guy said.
“Having integrity in everything and all that you do, having initiative, courage to push yourself outside what you would normally not do, and leadership. With that comes discipline and self-discipline.”
Mr Guy said Military Cadets had been the starting point for many young people who later transitioned into careers in the Australian Defence Force.
The Samford Military Cadets unit – to be known as 7MCU – will parade at Samford RSL, corner of Main and Progress Streets, Samford Village every Friday night during school terms.
An information meeting for parents will be held on 17 July. For more details phone Jamie Whitehead on 0435 894 500 or visit www.militarycadets.com.au

Grievous bodily harm charge, Kallangur: An 18-year-old Kallangur man appeared in Pine Rivers Magistrates Court on Monday after being charged by police with grievous bodily harm. The charge followed an alleged altercation at Kallangur on 4 July. Shortly before 3am police responded to a disturbance at a Galway Drive address where it is alleged a man struck a woman to the head. The 23-year-old woman was taken to the Royal Brisbane hospital in a critical condition. The man and woman are known to each other. Investigations are continuing.
Unlawful use of motor vehicle, Pine Rivers: A 1987 Toyota Dyna commercial cab vehicle was stolen from private grounds on Gympie Road, Lawnton by an unknown means on June 27. A day later a 1996 Toyota Hilux was stolen from a site on Kremzow Road, Brendale. Neither of the two vehicles have been recovered.

Families show up for exciting holiday fun Every year there is one event that Ella
and Macy Hall have on their July school holiday to-do list, without fail.
A visit to the Samford Show.As members of the Samford Show
Society, the sisters from Highvale attend the show every year and are counting down the days until this weekend’s two-day event.
“It’s not that busy but there’s a lot of things to do,” said Ella, who enjoys the showbags and watching her friends compete in equestrian competitions.
“I like this one a bit better (than the Ekka) because it’s closer and there’s not that many people.”
This weekend’s show will again have a focus on fun and family entertainment, with popular attractions such as sheep shearing, pet parades, equestrian events, vintage car displays, balloon tricks and face painting, petting zoos, pig races and fi reworks.
Show staples such as the ever-popular Samford Dog Jump and woodchop events and competitions for everything from poultry and cattle, to produce and photography, also return.
The FMX Kaos aerial motocross show will again enthral the crowd, while Ella and Macy reckon the huge variety of sideshow alley rides, attractions and showbags and the fi reworks, scheduled for this Saturday night at 6.30pm, will be her highlights.
“It gives you a lot of excitement and you don’t know what’s going to happen,” Macy said of the variety of show events and attractions to discover each year.
Samford Show President Trevor Taylor said the event was an affordable holiday option for families.
“We have so much for the littlies to do for free once they are through the gate it will keep them entertained for days,” Mr Taylor said.
“We love providing heaps of free enter-tainment for the kids once they have paid the gate entry fee.
“It takes a lot of pressure off mum and dad to spend heaps of money on the school holidays.”
The Samford Show is on 11-12 July at the Samford Showgrounds, Showgrounds Drive, Highvale. Gates open on Saturday and Sunday at 8am. Visit www.samford showsociety.com.au
Ella and Macy Hall are super excited about the return of the Samford Show.

A “mini Eat Street” is how organisers describe a new event at Samford that will tantalise the tastebuds.
Paella, wood-fi re pizzas, gourmet hot dogs, tornado potatoes, steam dumplings, pulled pork specialties, chocolate cakes, muesli bars, churros, pancakes, waffl es, gluten free, vegetarian and vegan treats and more will be on the menu at Kingdom Food Markets.
An outdoor dining experi-ence devoted to showcasing some of Bris-bane region’s best specialty and gourmet food, the new markets will be held for the fi rst time on 17 July.
“The idea came about because I thought it would be cool if Samford had its very own answer to Eat Street Mar-kets – obviously not to that scale,” King-dom Food Markets organiser and Samford resident Julian De Maria said.
“Brisbane has a very fast emerging food culture, which has taken shape, like other cities around Australia, because of such TV shows as My Kitchen Rules and Master Chef.
“Kingdom Food Markets is a celebration of community, food, music and relation-ships that takes place within a vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere.”
Some of Brisbane’s best food vendors, such as Ocean View local Lynne McKellar, who makes biscuits, cakes, fudge, muesli bars and slices, will be at the event.
“People like wholesome and organic food and are not into the
mass-produced food anymore,” she said.The Kingdom Food Markets are at 44 Mt
Glorious Road, Samford Village (Samford Valley Community Church) on 17 July from 4pm to 7pm. The event includes live music and a kids’ disco. Entry is free.
Market on your calendar, foodies The communities of Dayboro and Samford are
mourning the loss of two of its residents.
Members of local Rural Fire Brigades dressed in ‘yellows’ formed a guard of honour at the funeral of Gary Ihm, who passed away on 12 June at the age of 65.
Mr Ihm was a dedicated member of Dayboro and District Rural Fire Brigade, awarded the National Medal and First Clasp in 2010 in recognition of 30 years service with his local brigade.
Dayboro and District Rural Fire Brigade colleague Glenn Bell said Mr Ihm was a man who “enjoyed the company of his friends and life in general”.
“Gary never went out of his way to stand out in a crowd and was a very
modest, hard-working man all of his life,” Mr Bell said.
Keith Matson of Samford passed away in May at the age of 62, following complications from knee surgery.
The owner of Alito Accounting at Samford Village, Mr Matson’s career in the accounting profession began in Melbourne in 1970.
He also worked with unemployed youth and ran personal develop-ment programs.
He was also involved with local cricket clubs as well as the Samford and Districts Chamber of Commerce.
Keith Matson is survived by his sons Josh and Sam and his estranged wife, Catherine.

Samford assists Nepal’s ascent to recovery
c o m m u n i t y
Balls and bowls is a mix that could lead to gold for Stuart Gorton.
Under the guidance of his coach Jeff Stewart, the 23-year-old from Mitchelton has been training at Samford Bowls Club ahead of his debut at the Special Olympics World Games this month.
He is not representing Australia in lawn bowls in Los Angeles, but rather he will compete in bocce.
Bocce is often played on clay or crushed stone surfaces so Stuart hopes training on artifi cial carpets at Samford, which replaced the traditional grass greens last year, will give him an advantage in California.
“In L.A. we will be playing on a similar surface to here at Samford,” explains Stuart, who will play bocce for Australia alongside Victorian Melissa Theochari.
Stuart’s training sessions at Samford evolved from his friendship with Samford Bowls Club member Rod Palmer.
“Samford Bowls Club were approached by the national bocce coach (Jeff Stewart) and asked if our club would allow Stuart to train on our carpet,” Mr Palmer said.
“Apparently they may be playing on a similar surface in Los Angeles. Our club is proud to provide support to Stuart and Jeff and wish them well.”
Stuart is one of 76 Aussie athletes who will wear the
green and gold at the Special Olympics World Games.With 7000 athletes and 3000 coaches representing
177 countries, it is the biggest sports event anywhere in the world this year.
The opening ceremony at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, host venue for two Olympic Games and two Super Bowls, will feature sports and entertainment stars such as Stevie Wonder, Michael Phelps, Avril Lavigne, Jimmy Kimmel, Greg Louganis, Eva Longoria and Cody Simpson and will be broadcast live by ESPN.
Stuart, who started playing bocce in 2008 and also competes in table tennis and gymnastics, has a habit of winning gold medals in his pet sport.
He won gold medals in both the singles and doubles bocce events at last year’s Special Olympics Australian titles in Melbourne and has also succeeded at bigger tournaments.
“In 2013 I represented Australia at the Asia/Pacifi c games in the sport of bocce,” he said. “At these games I won two gold medals.
“I have made some great friends through Special Olympics and I like competing in competitions.
“In Los Angeles at the World Games, I hope to make Australia proud, meet people and have fun.”

All proceeds from an upcoming fund-raising dinner in Samford Village will support relief efforts in remote
areas of Nepal devastated by April’s earth-quakes.
Dinner For Nepal organiser and Samford local Sue Palmer, whose son-in-law is a Nepalese trekking guide, was in Nepal four months before the earthquake that killed 10,000 people, destroyed communities and decimated centuries-old buildings.
“We were there in between two disasters, after the avalanche that killed 17 climbing sherpas on the mountain... and (before) the earthquake,” she said.
“We had such a great time and the rapport with the people was amazing... so when this earthquake happened we all thought ‘we have got to do something’.”
Money raised from the dinner at Alegria Restaurant on 19 July will help to rebuild hospitals and schools and re-establish shelter and sanitation in isolated villages.
The fundraising dinner includes raffl es and an Italian main meal with breads and complimentary beer, wine or soft drink.
Tickets for the charity dinner cost $70 for adults and $20 for children. Book on 0406 069 798 or by emailing Sue Palmer at [email protected]

Where great deals are made and
lifestyles are changed……
South East Queenslanders
come along each year to see
what is on offer from a wide
variety of rural, home and
lifestyle businesses at the Farm
Fantastic Expo.
Living up to all expectations
the expo offers a fabulous retail
experience with a huge range of
professional services, farming,
machinery, health, lifestyle
products, gardening, backyard
farming and much, much
more.
Families are a strong focus
this year with plenty for the kids
to see and do during your visit
with us. Clara’s Kids Corner
will be bigger and better than
ever and will be held in a fully
covered children’s area, with
amenities for parents close by.
Farm Fantastic features over
700 sites at the centrally-located
Caboolture Showground. You
can speak directly with the deal
maker, giving you an excellent
buying opportunity.
This year’s expo has been
planned to be the best ever,
offering visitors a fabulous retail
experience.
“We have some fantastic event
projects, including ‘Backyard
Sustainable
Farming’, where you can learn
how to turn your backyard, be it
rural or urban, into a sustainable,
clean growing environment for
your family,” Farm Fantastic’s
Leanne Carius said.
“You will discover lots of
simple ideas that can be created
in any size yard.
“You will still be able to stroll
down the streets alongside our
mascot Clara the cow, check out
the great offers from exhibitors
and grab a delicious bite with
friends.”
Gourmet, local foods and
wines will be on offer at
‘Destination Food’ a
huge food pavilion
with gourmet and
local
producers
offering free cooking demos and
samples.
There will be more food than
ever before and this will be a
wonderful place to experience
new flavours with friends. You
can even take on Jamie Dunn
or Ranger Stacey in the famous
sausage-tying competition held
each day.
Farm Fantastic has slowly
transformed over the last couple
of years to bring farming in a
different way to families and
those who have a smaller back
yard.
“Still with the desire to
grow, cultivate, harvest
and create their
own existence,
encouraging
families to take
up a simple
sustainable
lifestyle in
their backyard
incorporating a
whole of lifestyle
approach.” Leanne
said.
“Our projects in 2014
received wide spread applause
with many of our visitors
asking that we expand for 2015,
providing even more small breed
and farming options to them
when they visit.”

Farmers, animals top picksFarmers, animals top picks
With
so much to
do at Farm Fantastic
Expo each year, it’s
pretty hard for festival-
goers to narrow down their
‘to do’ list for the weekend to
a manageable ‘can do’ list.
It’s a hard task, but we reckon we’ve
narrowed it down to two must-see family
entertainment events – for those people who
are attending Farm Fantastic not just for the
shopping opportunities.
Fantastic Farmer is a hilarious obstacle
course competition with a rural twist, and
almost everyone’s favourite event at Farm
Fantastic.
The competition brings out the inner
cowboy or cowgirl in entrants, who have
to bowl over hay bales, trudge through
troughs, and slop through the mud on their
way to walking away with the glory and
some generous prize money.
The Fantastic Farmer competition will
be held in the main animal arena of
the Caboolture Showground.
Age ranges for the
competition are 6-8, 9-12,
13-15 years and senior
male and female.
The finals will be
held on Sunday 26 July
at 2pm.
Judges include dairy
farmer Farmer Bryan
from Mt Mee, pictured with Agro, and Farmer
Lyle from Woodford.
Also check out this year’s
expanded and bigger display of
small animal breeds at Farm Fantastic,
including a huge Alpaca show throughout
the weekend.
And for the smaller animal lovers there’s
the Clara’s Farm kids activity centre,
including hobby horses, petting farm and
celebrity host, the popular Ranger Stacey.

Hypnosis can help us make meaningful, long-term changes to our habits and patterns of behaviour, the way we experience life, and the way we respond to certain triggers or situations. It enables us to access that part of our mind where those patterns are stored, and make changes where appropriate. More than simply relaxation therapy, clinical hypnosis can be used to influence both general and acute anxiety issues, addictions, and lifestyle patterns that interfere with our health and wellness. Brisbane Hypnosis Centre makes available clear information about hypnotherapy, and are happy to talk to you about how hypnosis may help.

It has been two-and-a-half years since UQ Vets Dayboro
moved into their new facilities and how quickly that time has gone.
During this period they’ve grown, not only with the size of the building but also their range of services have expanded since being in the old policeman’s cottage, which is now located at the Dayboro Showgrounds.
The team at UQ Vets Dayboro are very passionate about ensuring your pet has the best of care.
Some of the new services offered at the clinic include weight loss clinics, Senior Pets Club and Puppy Preschool.
The weight loss clinic and Senior Pets Club are complimentary services to assist in keeping your pet healthy and happy, while Puppy Preschool started this year and has some very clever graduates.
Until the end of August, UQ Vets Dayboro is offering a 20 per cent discount on dog and cat desexing as part of the RSPCA Operation Wanted initiative.
On the large animal side of things their equine reproduction service has resulted in numerous foals on the ground, with more to come.
This year’s breed-ing season is just around the corner,
so stay tuned for more details about UQ Vets Dayboro’s upcoming horse seminar.
Contact UQ Vets Dayboro on 3425 1544 for more information on their new services or if you have any queries regarding your pet – small or large.
The clinic, at 125 McKenzie Street, Dayboro, is open Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 5pm and Saturday from 9am to 11am. A vet is on call for emergencies 24/7. Visit www.dayborovet.com.au

Busting diabetes stereotypes
Samsonvale’s Lucille Smith, with her sisters Audrey and Penelope, holds a puppy which is being trained to be an assistance dog for diabetic children like her.
There’s no history of diabetes in their families, and it’s not something they will “grow out of”.
They didn’t get their type of diabetes because of poor diet, and they can still eat sugar and lollies like other kids.
These are some of the misconceptions faced by Angus Gladstone and Lucille Smith and their families.
Both have type 1 diabetes, a life-long autoimmune disease in which the pancreas stops producing insulin needed
to process sugars in the body.It means Lucille, 5, from Samsonvale
has up to seven insulin injections daily while Angus, 6, from Bunya uses a pump to administer insulin each time he eats food with carbohydrates in it.
Lucille and Angus prick their fi ngers to test their blood up to 12 times each day.
National Diabetes Week is on 12-18 July. Read the full story about Lucille and Angus and how they live with type 1 diabetes at www.thewesterner.com.au.
New trauma process to treat PTSD and phobias
Is your life being ruled by the on-going impacts and pain of past trauma?
Are depression, phobias, panic attacks and anxiety controlling your days and ruling your nights?
Perhaps you have sunk into ‘survival mode’ rather than living a full, rich life. Are you at a point in your life where you have given up on even allowing yourself to dream of being free from this ‘condition’?
Described as “hypnosis on steroids”, the Richards Trauma Process provides a very powerful way of addressing major trauma, including PTSD, anxiety, phobias, panic attacks and depression.
It resolves these issues quickly, effectively and very safely, normally in three sessions.
It is effi cient, producing consistent long lasting and positive results with clients reporting wellness 12 months on.
Maureen Hamilton from Joyner Health Centre is a practitioner of the Richards Trauma Process and can take you through to the other side of your pain. Phone 1300 619 684 or visit masteryourlifepower.com

A collaborative project between authors, artists, green thumbs and students has brightened up a corner of a school campus.
Constructed by local tradesmen and volunteers with donated materials and labour, ‘Granddad’s Garden’ has been designed for the children at Patricks Road State School.
School chaplain Andrea Eadie devised the idea for the garden, which features plants, seating, a water feature and brightly coloured murals, after seeing a presentation from Brian Andrew, the Brisbane-based author of the children’s book I Grow In Grandad’s Garden.
“I thought it would give the students and other members of the school community a quiet place to refl ect and grow, a rare thing even in the life of a child these days,” Ms Eadie said.
“The main values of the garden – gratitude, forgiveness, courage and unselfi shness – are values that fi t well with the main school values.”
Ocean View artist Sarah Douglas was enlisted to paint murals for the project.
“I had seen her work and knew Sarah would easily be able to work with the concept and underlying values of the garden and would be able to create artwork that was appealing to kids,” Ms Eadie said.
The murals were based on the illustrations from I Grow In Gran-dad’s Garden and a companion book by Brian Andrew’s wife, Moira Andrew, entitled I Grow in Grandma’s Garden.
“I used the concept of the garden idea from the books and free hand painted the rest,” Ms Douglas said.
Local tradespeople donated time and materials for the project, with initial funding coming from a donation of $2000 from Patricks Road State School’s graduating students of 2013.
A team of students from Pine Rivers State High School has returned from England after starring in
the world fi nal of the Land Rover 4×4 In Schools Technology Challenge.
Indi Harris, Lily Eiseman, Kienan Wagner, Hanna Baptista, Taj Gieskens and Beau Gieskens – the Wombat Warriors – fi nished third in a compet-ition with teams from 11 countries.
The Wombat Warriors fi nished behind two English teams – winners Vertical Horizon and the second-placed Clystalians – in a three-day competition held in Coventry.
“England has been doing this competition for the past six-odd years, so our guys did amazing just to make the podium and for quite some time were favourite to actually win the event outright,” supervising teacher Corey Gieskens said.
Wombat Warriors won the Best Team Identity award with Lily Eiseman, from Warner, winning the Best Women in Engineering award for her team management skills.
The 4×4 Technology Challenge sees teams design and remotely drive a 1:16 scale four-wheel drive through a series of courses while towing a small trailer.
Entrants also have to devise a team name, logo and identity and create a pit display and portfolio.
Other nations represented in the Land Rover 4×4 In Schools Technology Challenge world fi nal were Portugal, South Korea, Greece, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Brazil, Czech Republic, United Arab Emirates and Cyprus.

When it comes to his musical prowess, Tetsuya Lawson is not one to blow his own trumpet.
The young musician’s achievements speak for itself.The Queensland Conservatorium Griffi th University (QCGU) student is set to embark
on his second international music adventure in six weeks.The 18-year-old trumpet player is one of only two Australian musicians accepted to
perform at the Orchestral Academy of the Pacifi c Music Festival, which commences in Sapporo, Japan tomorrow.
“I will be performing with other musicians from all over the world,” the Ferny Hills resident said.
“We get to work with members of the Berlin Philharmonic and members of major American orchestras such as San Francisco Symphony and Chicago Symphony.
“I’m really looking forward to working with Maestro Valery Gergiev as he is a very famous conductor.
“I feel very privileged to being one of only two Australians accepted into this Academy and I’m excited to meet this other Australian!”
The trip to Japan follows Tetsuya’s performance with the QCGU Trumpet Ensemble at the 40th International Trumpet Guild in Ohio, USA last month.
“It was an amazing conference with lots of very famous international artists and many trumpet classes,” he said.
“It was really inspiring to hear other great trumpet players and to learn lots of useful things from some masterclasses.
“Our main repertoire for this trip was an Australian composition called Exaudi Orationem Nostram by Paul Terracini. It’s a very beautiful piece of music and we all really enjoyed playing it.”
“This was my fi rst time performing overseas in America and I’m very much looking forward to performing in some amazing concert halls in Japan.”
Tetsuya began playing trumpet nine years ago while at Ferny Grove State School.“The main challenges of playing the trumpet is knowing how to use your air properly
and how to control it to make a great sound,” he said.His goals are to do postgraduate study in Germany or the USA, before embarking on
a professional music career. “My longtime dream is to play in the Berlin Philharmonic and I hope to one day win
a principal trumpet job in a professional symphony orchestra,” he said.“With so many Australian trumpeters in Germany it opens up some great contacts
there for us and it’s also home to some of the world’s best teachers.”
Following a one-year hiatus due to permit issues, Brisbane’s only BYO camping, music and arts festival
will return to Mt Samson in October, headlined by one of Australia’s much-loved and well-travelled acts.
The main attraction of the popular Red Deer Festival will be Sydney-based rockers, music festival and Triple J radio mainstays, Frenzal Rhomb.
The four-piece act has been releasing cheeky party-punk anthems such as ‘Never Had So Much Fun’, ‘We’re Going Out Tonight’, ‘Mum Changed the Locks’, ‘You Are Not My Friend’, ‘Russell Crowe’s Band’, ‘Parasite’ and ‘You Can’t Move Into My House’ for the past 23 years.
Each of the band’s last six studio albums have landed in the top-50 of the Australian album charts.
New Zealand group Salmonella Dub Soundsystem and synth-pop act Andy Bull, whose tunes ‘Keep On Running’ and ‘Baby I Am Nobody Now’ featured in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2013, will also appear on stage at Mt Samson.
Also announced for the Red Deer Festival bill are some of Queensland’s top talent, including We All Want To, Hey Geronimo, Ayla, Mosman Alder, Cheap Fakes and WAAX.
The event on 3 October will also feature everything from art workshops and food and market stalls, to frisbee and ping pong tournaments.
Tickets for the festival are on sale now from www.reddeerfest.com.au.
Prices range from $79 for a general admission day pass, to $239 for a VIP festival experience.
OOne of the biggest Australian family movies of the past 20 years is coming to Dayboro.
Paper Planes, the heartwarming story of a boy’s journey from regional Austra-lia to the world championship for paper plane making in Japan, will screen at the Dayboro Lions Family Movies this month.
It is the highest grossing homemade family fi lm since Babe: Pig in the City was released in 1998.
Paper Planes stars Sam Worthington of Avatar and Terminator: Salvation fame, Ed Oxenbould from Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, and Deborah Mailman from The Sapphires and TV’s Offspring.
To get movie patrons into the spirit of the fi lm, a paper plane throwing comp-etition will be held during intermission.
Organisers are expecting a bumper turnout for the fi lm, given the patronage for screenings of Australian movies in the Dayboro Community Hall.
Organisers put up the ‘sold out’ sign for a screening of Red Dog back in 2011.
For the record, the top fi ve gross-ing Aussie family movies of all time are Babe (1995), Happy Feet (2006), Red Dog (2011), Young Einstein (1988) and Happy Feet 2 (2011).
Proceeds from Dayboro Lions Family Movies, which have been held monthly for more than 20 years, supports the local community.
Paper Planes screens at the Dayboro Community Hall, Bradley Street, Dayboro on 18 July. Doors open at 6.30pm with the fi lm starting at 7pm. Entry is $6 per person or $18 for a family.

Red Deer back running at Mt Samson
On the outskirts of Sydney, a boys’ boarding school prides itself on the horses it keeps. A gifted working class student receives a scholarship to attend at the same time a new schoolmaster is appointed. Both soon learn, from their different perspectives, that what is said bears little relation to what is done. William Lane’s The Horses explores with great subtlety the complex way in which class can perpetuate itself through the education of its children.
Courtesy of Transit Lounge Publishing, The Westerner has two copies of The Horses (RRP $29.95) to give away. Enter online at www.thewesterner.com.au before July 20.

Based on the classic novel of the same name, which is known for its notorious diffi culty to adapt for the screen, this latest attempt to bring the plight of Emma Bovary to life is not the exception amongst its peers. The fi lm, although streamlined in terms of its story with many original plot elements cut, nevertheless seems laboriously long. The story is told exclusively through the view of Emma (Mia Wasikowska); opening with the inevitable death of the title character as she swallows some poisonous liquid her husband keeps as part of his medical practice. Impending doom hangs over the rest of the fi lm, fi lling every scene with a sense of sorrow and regret. Emma’s tragic downfall begins as she leaves her schooling at a rural convent and launches into an arranged marriage with Charles Bovary (Henry Lloyd-Hughes). She prays to her god at the convent for Charles to be the right man for her, but as the opening scene foreshadows, this is not to be. For all intents and purposes, Charles is perfect. He appears on screen to be kind and caring. However, he lacks the romanticist traits Emma values from her reading and has almost no appreciation for the arts. He is content with being a simple, respectable country doctor. Emma is bored. Convention constrains her lust for young law clerk Leon Dupuis (Ezra Miller), but she soon crumbles under the charms of the broody swagger of rich aristocrat, the Marquis (Logan Marshall-Green). After this confi dence booster, she wiggles back into Leon’s arms. Her resentment of Charles is increasingly expressed by spending all of the money he does not have. Rhys Ifans’ impressively slippery Monsieur Lheureux extends enough credit to Emma such that she and her husband live in luxury and ensures she stands out amongst the townsfolk, but she despairs when he demands payment of her debt. Madame Bovary’s greatest achievement is the way it looks. It is visually stunning, with director Sophie Barthes and cinematographer Adrij Parekh presenting the French countryside in an almost ethereal manner. It adds to the sense that Emma is stuck in a nightmare, an otherworldly reality from which she is trying to escape. It also refl ects her romanticism. Unfortunately, for all the drama in the fi lm, one never really feels emotionally invested in any of the characters. Instead of feeling sympathetic towards Emma, most of the time the character comes across as merely annoying. The story itself is far from complex; much like Emma, perhaps the fi lm was doomed from the beginning.

How’s this for dedication to one of your favourite bands?
Nathanuel and Kristy Holland made the 10-hour, 900km drive from Middlemount, in central Queensland, to Brisbane to see Seether perform for the fi rst time at Eatons Hill Hotel last Thursday.
Kristy’s passion for South Africa’s biggest rock band started when she fi rst heard the song Broke, a collaboration with Evanescence singer Amy Lee which peaked at number three on Australia’s singles chart in 2004.
“That single got me into them but then I ditched Evanescence and have been listening to Seether ever since,” Kristy said. “I would say they are up there (as my favourite band).”
As part of Nathanuel’s Mothers Day gift for his wife, the couple enjoyed VIP passes to the Seether concert, including a meet and greet with the band.
“They seemed really nice but I was really nervous and I basically just intro-duced myself,” Kristy said.
“I didn’t say too much. I suppose it was either me not say much or me just spill-ing out a lot of babble, so it was probably safer to not say much.”
The Hollands attend major concerts “once or twice a year”, a far cry from Middlemount’s main entertainment source – karaoke at the local pub.
They drove 10 hours to see Toby Keith at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre last year, while Kristy has seen Keith Urban perform in Townsville, 650km from Middlemount.
Nathanuel, who lived at Albany Creek before the Eatons Hill Hotel was built, encouraged more local music fans to patronise concerts at the venue.
“I’d happily drive 10 hours to see a band,” he said. “If you live 10 minutes away you’re mad not to go see as many bands as you can.”
Kristy’s highlight of Seether’s concert, which included hits such as ‘Fake It’ and ‘Tonight’ and a cover of Silverchair’s ‘Israel’s Son’, was a solo rendition of ‘The Gift’ by singer-guitarist Shaun Morgan.

Actors on stage for milestone show
a r t s
Famous thespians such as Miranda Otto, Carol Burns
and Bernard King and the former Queensland state Premier Wayne Goss have acted there.
Now two local actors have taken to the stage for the milestone performance of one of Brisbane’s longest running artistic groups.
Ferny Grove’s Riley McNamara and Jon Darbro are currently starring in Noises Off, the 1000th show to be staged by Brisbane Arts Theatre, which is now in its 79th year.
“This is the third show I’ve been in with Brisbane Arts Theatre... and obviously it’s an incredible stroke of luck to be involved in the 1000th show and it’s pretty cool,” said Darbro, who last acted while at the University of Chicago. “The history surrounds you in the theatre.”
Michael Frayn’s play within a play, Noises Off follows the antics of lowly ranked professional actors mounting a touring production.
Forgotten lines and missing props set the scene for an uproarious and lively night at the theatre.
“I like to think of it as a sort of a meta-farce,” Darbro said.
McNamara, who debuted with Brisbane Arts Theatre this year, noted: “The effort that’s gone in behind the scenes from the actors and the creative team... has been a phenomenal process.”
Noises Off is on at the Brisbane Arts Theatre, Petrie Terrace until 15 August. For tickets phone 3369 2344 or visit www.artstheatre.com.au
Riley McNamara and Jon Darbro star in Noises Off, a milestone show for Brisbane Arts Theatre.
Fifty not out for local theatreAnne Wilson is a stalwart of Act 1 Theatre, which is celebrating 50 years.
Strathpine’s Act 1 Theatre is celebrating two major milestones.It is 50 years since the community drama group was established – as Aspley
Little Theatre – and 30 years since it moved into its present home, a former Pine Rivers Shire Council hall on Gympie Road.
To celebrate, on 25 July the theatre group will perform one-act play Down Came a Jumbuck, followed by a supper and a reunion of past and present Act 1 members.
Strathpine resident Anne Wilson, who has been a member of Act 1 Theatre since 1999, said it was hard to nominate the highlight of her time with the drama troupe.
“As far as I’m concerned every play that I direct is a highlight, and I have probably directed one play a year since I’ve been there,” she said.
Act 1 President Terry Frawley put the group’s longevity down to the undying passion of its members, particularly when the amateur company found itself in fi nancial strife.
The anniversary celebrations are on at Act 1 Theatre, corner of Gympie Road and Hall Street, Strathpine on 25 July from 7.30pm. For bookings phone 0458 579 269.

Baseball fanatics will pay tribute to a fallen mate by spending 30 hours on the diamond this weekend.
Ryan Thwaites, Andrew Buckley and Aaron Applefi eld established Swing 4 Scoot, a 100-inning charity baseball game in honour of the late Scott ‘Scoot’” Carrington.
The popular baseball player, who grew up at Albany Creek, passed away in 2014 at the age of 30 following a courageous 15-year battle with cancer.
He won the Brisbane Baseball League A-grade championship with the Bunya-based Pine Hills Lightning club in 2011.
Thwaites said the courage shown by his friend and Pine Hills teammate “continues to be an inspiration to many”.
“Scott’s battle with cancer started when we were all at high school and continued for more than 15 years, but he was so determined to live his life that a lot of people had no idea,” he said.
Hundreds of participants joined last year’s inaugural Swing 4 Scoot baseball marathon, which raised $25,000 for cancer charities and a trust fund for Carrington’s two-year-old daughter.
Ex-Major League players and members of the Brisbane Bandits have committed to this year’s Swing 4 Scoot event, to be held on 11-12 July.
The game will be played at the home grounds of Windsor Royals and Pine Hills, two of the baseball clubs Scott played for.
First pitch will be at Holloway Field, New-market at 9am on Saturday, before shifting to Bunya’s James Drysdale Reserve from 11pm that night. Participants can register at www.swing4scoot.org
A 30-hour baseball game will be played in honour of the late Scott Carrington.

More horsepower needed for rally
Similar to a car rally except on
horseback, the popular Samford
Valley Horse Rally will be held later
this month.
During the ride through the scenic
and beautiful Samford Valley, riders will
compete in pairs.
Leaving at timed intervals, the challenge
is to ride a course follow arrows, answer
questions and complete each section of
the ride closest to the ideal time.
For the event on 19 July, which is hosted
by the Samford Golden Valley Pony Club,
there are three different length rides,
which cater for all ages, riding experience
and fi tness levels.
For fi tter horses and more experienced
riders there is the choice of ride and trot
routes of 20km and 25km.
There is also a walk ride of around 7km,
which is popular with adults and children
on lead line.
Entry costs between $12 to $24 per
rider, with trophies and prize money given
to winners of the three rally classes.
Nominations for the Samford Valley
Horse Rally close on 14 July.
For nomination forms and further

What age did you start playing rugby league and why did you choose this sport? I started playing when I was fi ve years old. I liked watching my brothers play rugby league and watching it on television.What is your biggest achievement in rugby league to date? Representing Pine Rivers District in the metropolitan north fi nals. What is your training programme? My team trains twice a week starting with a dynamic warm up, then with defensive work then fi nishing off with team ball skills.What is your favourite or best rugby league skill? Probably defence/tackling. I like tackling because you get to let out your anger.What is your pre-game routine? I usually like to relax, lie down and not talk to anyone until about 20 minutes before the game, and then I warm up with my team.What are the best things about rugby league? Tackling and getting the satisfaction of winning the game with your team.What attributes do you need to be a good rugby league player? You need to be willing to put your body on the line to make the tackle. You also need to have passion for the sport and like the sport. Another attribute is to have determination to win the game.Who is your sporting idol? Greg Inglis, he is my idol because he is a great player of the sport, and uses his talent to help his team to win the game.What are your goals for rugby league? My goals are to make it to the NRL and represent my country for this amazing sport.What advice would you give to other people who play your sport? Never give up during a game and don’t show the other team that you are beaten.What are your hobbies and interests away from rugby league? Outside of footy I like to kick back and relax, go fi shing, play golf, ride motorbikes and go camping.
