2014 SOUTH BURNETT DISTINGUISHED BUSINESS PERSON AWARD Earl Pratt of Murgon

The 2014 South Burnett Business Excellence Awards presentation night was held on Wednesday 15th October 2014. The winners were announced at the award presentation dinner held in the Kingaroy Town Hall.

Mr Earl Pratt of Murgon was the recipient of the 2014 South Burnett Distinguished Business Award.

In acknowledging the merits of Earl Pratt, MC John Carey said: The Pratt family has been involved in the livestock agency business in the Burnett since 1946

when Earls father Basil (Buck) Pratt started a small Agency in Murgon in 1946. Earl joined his father in the family business after finishing school in 1954. Earl and his parents started BD Pratt & Co in 1962 and continued in that successful business till 1979 when they sold out to Australian Estates Pty Ltd. In that period of time they conducted livestock sales in Murgon and Goomeri and saw the opening of the current live weight selling complex in Murgon in 1979. After the sale of the business Earl continued his involvement in the industry by becoming a commission buyer for several meat works companies taking him through the North and South Burnett and into central Queensland. In 1987 Earl and his son Paul started Pratt Agencies Pty Ltd at a small premises in Lamb Street Murgon. Earl still plays a part in Pratt Agencies today with his son Paul and wife Stacey, taking care of the day to day running of the business. He sat on the committee of the Saleyards Association of Queensland for 12 years serving 5 years as President. Earl became President of the Qld Livestock Agents Association in 1992 and remained President until 2004. He was elected to the National

Saleyards Quality Assurance Committee in 1998 which he served on for 16 years, 10 years as president, retiring from the position only last week. Outside the agency business Earl was involved with many local organisations such as the Murgon Show Society in his early years and has played a large part on the St. Joseph’s Parish finance committee for many years. Earl served as councillor for the Murgon Shire Council from 1985 to 1997 and 2000 to 2004. One of his greatest achievements while on council was the push for the development of the current IGA shopping complex for Murgon, which came under heavy criticism at the time but has proved to be a huge benefit for the local community. He is still actively involved on the committee of the Murgon Dairy Museum. Earl has had a full and enjoyable life involvement with the livestock industry and has always had the best interests of Murgon and it’s community fully in his focus.

We congratulate Earl Pratt of Murgon on his award.South Burnett Business Excellence Awards (other category) South Burnett Directions would like to sincerely thank every nominee. The judging panel has had a difficult task in selecting

‘A Sense of Wonder’

Robyn Dower, a South Burnett Artist, has spent the last three years planning her latest exhibition in collaboration with her sister Kay Gorring. Combining their talents in art and literature, the exhibition ‘A Sense

of Wonder’ is based on a heart-warming story that will raise your curiosity and delight your senses. In essence, it literally brings to life, through the use of actual art pieces, a heart-warming story of love, loss, triumph and tragedy that spans three generations of one family.

While remaining light-hearted, this emotional charged venture is exciting, fun and relatable, providing all age groups with aspects to enjoy.

The story itself ‘A Sense of Wonder’ traces the life of a young woman by the name of Annabel whose destiny, was being shaped by circumstances beyond her control. Annabel should have been happy with a successful career and all the trappings of her father’s wealthy family. However, she found herself increasingly

dissatisfied and searching for a sense of belonging and meaning to her life. Her father and his family, each for their own reasons, refused to tell Annabel anything about her early childhood.

So when Annabel received an invitation, seemingly out of the blue, from her maternal Grandmother, Kate, she readily accepted. Feeling sad and confused and in desperate need of answers Annabel embarks on a journey of rediscovery that changes her life and her destiny forever.

So come along to “A Sense of Wonder” and retrace Annabel’s footsteps back when she first arrived at her Grandma’s house. Fill in the missing blanks in her life by discovering the clues that cleverly weave their way through the exhibition or simply settle down in a comfy seat and read the story itself in book form - a three part epic tale that through the magic of poetic rhyme can be read in just fifteen minutes. The majority of the art pieces and the story books are all available for purchase so come along and enjoy a heart-warming experience and perhaps take your own little piece of “Wonder” home forever.

With lots of things to see and do, it will make great family entertainment over the Christmas Holidays. The gallery will close from the 1st of December for installation and will re-open at 6pm Friday the 5th of December for opening night. $5.00 entry fee, with food and nibbles supplied. Local wine will be available for purchase. This exhibition will run from the 6th of December through to the 31st of January (excluding Christmas Day and Boxing Day) Gallery Hours 10.00am – 4pm Daily.

The Beginning of ‘Wonder’Grandma Kate’s Story

Out to the letterbox by the front gate, troubled and anxious, hurried Grandma Kate. She was waiting for news about Annabel. Was her Granddaughter really doing that well? After reading the letter she held in her hand Kate decided she would have to devise a plan to somehow convince an estranged Annabel that she needed to return and stay a spell. It was through her friends and their letters to Kate that kept her informed of her granddaughter’s fate. She was successful now, had made quite a name but she still wasn’t happy just the same. The letter showed that all was not well and Kate grew worried for Annabel. Kate knew she wasn’t in her rightful place and time she came home to wonder’s embrace. Kate’s eyes drifted to the frame on her wall. Would it have been different after all? If George hadn’t been killed during the war and was here for the granddaughter he never saw? Kate allowed her mind to stroll down memory lane reflecting on happy times and times of great pain. When she first met George and his whimsical heart and the hours they spent sharing a passion for art. Their love of all Creatures, elephant to mouse and how they were going to fill up their house with quirky, fun pieces to make people think like the two fat chooks still perched on her sink. They’d kept people wondering, often perplexed as to what on earth they’d be up to next. Maybe a scruffy dog, maybe a cat, maybe a goldfish wearing a hat. Once George had placed a lump in their bed but when Kate asked, he only winked instead. “That’s Fred,” he said in his mischievous way “and you’ll

29

have to guess before I’ll say.” Some thought them eccentric, just crazy fools, others, a rare gift like two precious jewels. Whatever their reasons they all came to see the happy little house where wonder was free.

When Edith was born they were over the moon although there were rumours of war coming soon. It was a time of uncertainty, fear and fright especially when George was called up to fight. Promising not to end what they’d just begun they vowed to keep always their keen sense of fun. To follow a simple life immersed in the arts and enjoy all the wonder such a life imparts. When Kate learned George wasn’t coming back, her colours seemed to drain to endless black and that promise they had vowed to keep, spoke to her through her sadness deep. To pursue a dream they’d had in their heart, a sense of wonder through the love of art and Edith, their daughter, gave Kate the drive to keep George’s passion for art alive. Whether it’s whimsy or whether it’s real, it was art that helped their hearts to heal. Creating together at every chance made their hearts sing, their spirits dance. They opened their home for all to share inviting people from everywhere. Its magic helped lots of sad hearts to mend and many remained a lifelong friend.

Edith grew up happy, talented and smart and she moved to the city to study art. She hoped to open her own gallery one day and continue that sense of wonder and play. She came back often to her mother Kate bringing James when they started to date. James loved Edith and her fun way of life and before very long he made her his wife. James’ upbringing was strict with no room for art, and he was never allowed to follow his heart. For he was creative, so gentle and shy but somehow a failure in his father’s eye. So it was in with Kate they chose to move although James’ family did not approve and despite his family not once coming round James was happy in the new life he’d found. Edith put her studies on hold for a while when Annabel’s birth gave them reasons to smile. Annabel was surrounded by their love and fun but the wonder faded having just begun.

One night, driving home, Edith was killed and James love of life forever stilled. Nothing Kate did and nothing she said could convince poor James that Edith was dead. She was heartsick herself and very afraid when James’ family had decisions made. They took them back to the city to live. James needed more help than Kate could give. James tried very hard but he never did well and his family were the ones raising Annabel. Kate missed Annabel but James needed her too and James only did what he was told to do.

Annabel visited with her Grandma Kate up until around the age of eight. Then James’ family moved much further away and she never came back anymore to stay. Kate wiped her tears. There was no time to dwell. Would her plan work? Only time would tell. She enlisted her friends from far and near. She would need their help to get Annabel here.

It was time she came home, her past to face and allow herself back to her childhood place. To let go of hurt, frustration and pain and learn to trust in wonder again. Kate’s heart ached for her granddaughter dear but she knew that she just couldn’t be here. It was Annabel’s choice alone to make and a risk that Kate just had to take...

Look out for Part 2 of this wonderful story in our next November edition of the Murgon Moments.

MURGON DAIRY AND HERITAGE MUSEUM I looked in my dictionary to see what the word ‘heritage’ meant and it said ‘property that is or can be

inherited; a tradition etc. derived from one’s ancestors or the past. On Saturday 4th October, as part of the ‘South Burnett and Cherbourg on Show’ long weekend, the Museum held a Heritage Working Day. When you see how things were done in the early days by our ancestors, it certainly is an eye-opener. There was certainly no time for anyone to be bored, as it was a lot of hard work but our ancestors didn’t complain, they just got stuck in to the work, as they knew it just had to be done, in most cases just to survive..

There was a lot of interesting displays at the Heritage Day – Leather Works, Blacksmith, Rope Making, Bush Poet, Spinning, Shearer and Animal Nursery, Whip Cracking, Dairy cow and Calf, Butter Making, Post splitting, as well as entertainment for the children. If you missed out this year, mark the date in your diary for next year – same time, same place, for a bigger and better Heritage Day (hopefully).

The Museum is open 7 days a week from 9.30am to 12.30pm.and can be found on Gayndah Road. The Museum has plenty to offer for people of all ages. You will have no trouble finding us, as you can see the herd of colourful cows lined up along the fence waiting to greet you. For enquiries, please phone the Museum on 41 695001 and if it is after hours, be sure to leave a message and one of our friendly Museum volunteers will contact you as soon as it is possible.

The South Burnett hard to Find?

Three chances and eventually its right. First it was put on the opposite side of the road, next it had 800m where it now has 10km. If you turned left in 800m you would end up in the farmers paddock which can be seen in the distance.

Then there was this sign in Nanango coming in from Brisbane or Toowoomba. If you follow the arrow to Goomeri you would end up in the Forestry going to Kilcoy. The old saying is don’t believe everything you see but it’s just a shame that some Main Roads / Tourist organization who put up these beautiful signs can’t get it right the first time.

We don’t usually like to criticize but Yes we do care about Tourism in our area!

PLAUDITS FOR OUR THREE POLITICANS

Sir Charles Adermann Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen Warren Truss, Deputy Prime Minister

The recent naming of the Kingaroy shire council chambers in honour of the achievements attained by Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss brought further distinction to the South Burnett.

It meant that three Kingaroy district farmers had the right foresight to better Australia by serving lengthy careers in State and Federal Governments.

Firstly there was Sir Charles Adermann who attended the Wooroolin State School until he was 13 and it was shortly after that he banded peanut farmers together to form the then known as the Peanut Marketing Board. Over two periods he was chairman from 1925 until 1952.

He later became Kingaroy shire chairman from 1939 (at the outbreak of the Second World War) to 1946. He then went onto become the member for Fisher in this newly established seat. It was in 1960 that he was appointed Minister for Primary Industries where he played a major role in granting additional assistance to Australian rural producers. He was involved with farm land in Kingaroy which was located from the eastern side of Fisher Street through to the Tessmann Road area and north to the base of the Hospital Hill area. This later became a prestige area in residential development.

He later retired from his parliamentary career where he was succeded by his son Evan Adermann. It was of interest and that he was preceded in Canberra by William McMahon who later became Prime Minister and then succeded by another Minister in Doug Anthony. For his outstanding contribution, Sir Charles Adermann travelled to London where Queen Elizabeth II bestowed him with the honour of a Privy Councillor of the United Kingdom and in 1966 while five years later he became a Knight of the Order of the British Empire.

HARD WORK GAVE A BRIGHT STARTIn his infancy, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen came from his birthplace in New Zealand with his parents negotiating

the Brisbane-South Burnett dirt roads by horse and coach over a four day period. So it was that his parents and other family members took up land at Taabinga Village, more commonly known as Bethany. Because of ill health with his father, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen finished schooling at 14 so that he and his mother could work the farm. Sir Joh took up the challenge instantly going from a rare novice with horse and a single plough to clearing scrub, many times well into nightfall.

Apart from peanuts and harvest time developing his own threshing equipment - where he often slept in a dairy underneath the stars-, he later brought out a technique for quickly clearing scrub with a heavy anchor chain sandwiched between two bulldozers.

At the early age of 30, he became a competent businessman which also saw him gain a pilot’s licence which allowed aerial spraying of crops to begin.

Sir Joh was elected to the Kingaroy shire council in 1946 where he established good support from Sir Charles Adermann.

In 1952, Sir Joh married Florence ‘Flo’ Gillmour who became a political figure in her own right. During 1963, State Premier Sir Francis Nicklin appointed Sir Joh as<Minister for Works and Housing and after five years with this portfolio, it led him to become State Premier.

39

His term from 1968 until 1987 made him the longest serving and living Premier while despite numerous controversies, he was adamant that more dams should be constructed throughout Queensland while the Brisbane Expo was a great memorial to his State contributions. He was the second Kingaroy farmer-councillor to be bestowed with knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II.

Even to this day, there are people who applaud the efforts of the former Premier while others have a somewhat different view. One thing is for certain – if Sir Joh did not get a Liberal to cross the floor on the morning vote supporting Tarong versus Milmerran as the site of the next powerhouse, the South Burnett would have become somewhat stagnant. Because of this decision, we now see Kingaroy as a city and the growth of all other towns (chiefly Nanango, Yarraman and Blackbutt) as virtually self supporting with business and employment opportunities (despite the floods and droughts which have plagued the region in the last 20 months.)

TAILOR MADE FOR CANBERRAFrom the moment Warren Truss won the seat of Wide Bay and became the member for the Murgon

electorate, it was obvious that his background in Rural Youth and public speaking would play its part in Canberra in pressing home vital decisions for the region.

The naming of the Kingaroy council chambers in his honour was just reward for his outstanding achievements which commenced from a humble beginning when a teenage Mannuem-Kumbia farmer of three generations. He became leader of the Nationals in 2007 and is the longest serving Federal leader of any political party in Australia. Mr Truss had the distinction of serving with the Howard Government for 10 years while in that period he was bestowed with seven different ministries.

He was a Kingaroy councillor from 1976 to1990 with seven years as mayor. Mr Truss also played a vital role in holding positions with the State Council of the Queensland Grain Growers Association for over 10 years. A former State and National president of Rural Youth is added to his repertoire while he also held the position as president of the Lutheran Church of Australia. Mr Truss and his brother Gary together with Penny Noller dominated rural youth debating in the 60’s and 70’s. This was when Rural Youth was at its strongest with some seven clubs active in the South Burnett this was strong evidence in showing that teenagers had to leave the area for better positions.

A FLYING START FOR QUEENSLAND CHILDREN YEAR 7 JOINS HIGH SCHOOL IN 2015

Educators agree that young teenagers are ready for greater independence and the depth of learning that high schools provide, which is why, in more other states and territories, Yr 7 is already the first year of high school. With the introduction of Prep in 2007 by 2015 Queensland Yr 7 students will be in their eight year of school, and this is the right year for high school to begin.

During this Term Murgon State School Campus Year 6 and 7 students will be attending orientation days at the Murgon State High School participating in

regular classroom activities. During these days students will be supervised by

primary and high school teachers. They will be informed on ‘how to read a timetable’,

‘looking at the behaviour management chart’, ‘mobile phone use’, ‘what to do if you are sick’, ‘how to read a diary’, ‘what about homework’, ‘positive rewards system’, and ‘how to find your way around the High School’, etc.

Orientation will take place on the following days: • Week 2 - Monday 13 October • Week 4 - Tuesday 28 October • Week 6 - Monday 10 November • Week 9 - Tuesday 2 December Students will come to school as usual before walking

in a group to the High School. They are required to wear full primary school uniform and take a bag with lunch/water bottle/hat/money for Tuckshop.

Well here is the low down on the whole thing.

When babies mess in their pants, people are still gonna Luv’em and Pamper’em.

When old people mess in their pants, what happens next, “Depends” on who’s in the will!

HAVING A BALL IN THE BURNETT

This year’s third annual South Burnett Queensland Teachers Union Ball brought together 87 teachers, principals and education staff from all corners of the Burnett in the name of collegiality, networking and celebrating our great profession.

Guests feasted on gourmet canapés and themed cocktails whilst being treated to a walk down memory lane via displays of union memorabilia including a souvenir t-shirt collection and framed paraphernalia from past campaigns.

Senior Officer, Kate Ruttiman, attended the event, reflecting on our role as conduits of our profession and the 125 years of achievements we have to celebrate in this, the Queensland Teachers Unions 125th year. Other key messages on the night included the importance of coming together in the name of our profession and the strength in our unity.

This annual event creates an important opportunity for educators from across our vast region to come together for collegial networking, as well as strengthening communication channels and membership information at a school and branch level. It is also an opportunity to welcome new members into our Branch and encourage member involvement in our Union.

Kathy’s CommentsThe Murgon Gun is Back!!The Burnett War Museum recently gave their stock to the Yarraman Historical Society. This was an opportunity for us to ask if we could have the gun returned to Murgon and the answer was a resounding yes!! Thanks to Bruce Sommerfeld who organised the transport and Jim Kingston for helping and especially to Ann Martindale from South Burnett Online who helped me sort the details to ensure that we could get the gun back without any problems. The gun is being sanded and painted and then will be proudly placed outside the Murgon RSL. Murgon Pool UpdateWe are applying for funding to Queensland Sport & Rec to get some additional money so that we can do a better upgrade to the pool. I apologise to all of the user groups on the inconvenience that the closure of the pool is causing but I am looking forward to a fantastic facility that will serve us for a long time into the future. We will be seeking input from key stakeholders as we plan the upgrade of the facilities.The Rail Trail and what is HappeningWe met with the Queensland Triathalon representatives with a view to bringing an event to the South Burnett. They are very keen and are working towards hosting an annual National event. The swim is 1.5klms, followed by a 40k bike ride and then a 10k run. We are hoping that they will utilise a portion of the rail trail for the run section. The bikes will need to go on a sealed surface. This is just an example of the opportunities that are available with the rail trail. We are still negotiating with Gympie Regional Council and the State Government to finalise the details of future arrangements before we go out to public consultation and plan the whole rail corridor. Well done to the Murgon Men’s ShedIt is great to see so many men enjoying this wonderful facility. I had the pleasure of attending the Open Day and was thrilled to see the progress so far. It really is a good news story for Murgon and I look forward to seeing more great results as the facility is progressed.Public Meeting with the Mayor in the Murgon Town HallI am keen to see as many people come along to a meeting in the town hall on the 20th of October at 5.30pm to hear the Mayor talk about what is happening in Council and to provide your feedback and ask any questions on Council matters that you would like to have answered. This will be a good opportunity to meet with the Mayor and fellow Councillors. There will be a supper served at the end of the evening. Everybody is welcome so please come along.Transfer Stations across the Region supporting rural areasI am pleased that this Council as part of our waste management strategy has decided to retain our rural tips. We have to upgrade them to Transfer stations and we have the funding in this financial year to work on a number of the facilities. There will be upgrades at Cloyna, Brigooda, Hivesville and Durong in this financial year as well as some others in the Nanango and Kingaroy areas. The draft waste management strategy will go to public consultation before being finalised so there will be an opportunity for everyone to provide feedback on waste management into the future.Proston Main Street Footpath

The design is being worked on including an option to bring the cement up level with the entrances into some of the shops rather than putting ramps up for wheel chair access. There will also be public consultation on the finished surface which could be stencilled concrete or aggregate for example. The work is planned to commence early next year to avoid disruption leading into the Christmas period.Work on Council roads and Main roadsCouncil does not get any of the State Government money for vehicle registrations. We have to fund all of our own roads apart from a few programs mainly with bridges or highly trafficked roads where Council can apply for grants. We have approx. 3000 klms of Council controlled roads to repair and maintain. Council is using the road levy money to grade as many of our roads as we can with the resources we have. We are also doing repairs and maintenance on our sealed roads as quickly as we can. There are a series of Main roads that are controlled and funded by the State Government and in our area they include the Bunya Highway, the Proston Boondooma Road, the Mundubbera Durong Rd, Redgate Rd. Wondai Proston Rd, Barambah Rd and Lancaster’s Rd. The council only work on these roads at the direction of the State Government and if funds are provided by the State Government. Support for Christmas Fair & Business MeetingsIt is fantastic to see so many people attending the Murgon Business Meetings and the Christmas Fair Meetings. Congratulations to Leo, Margaret and the crew for the great work that you continuously do to promote and support the Murgon community.Councillor Contact DetailsAs always I am working on following up jobs and concerns that have been brought to my attention.

UPDATED AGE PENSION GUIDE NOW AVAILABLE

Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss, today released an updated edition of his Age Pension Guide.

Mr Truss said the Guide was extremely popular amongst pensioners because it explains the terms and conditions that apply to the Age Pension as simply as possible.

“The Age Pension rules can be confusing and complicated for many people. This guide is designed in an easy to use format to help pensioners understand their entitlements,” Mr Truss said.

“It also reassures pensioners that the Age Pension will continue to increase twice per year, as it has done in the past when payment rates are updated on the 20th March and 20th of September.

“Income and asset tests, and deeming and other provisions are also adjusted from time to time, which can affect the amount of assistance that pensioners are entitled to receive, so it is important that people have access to the latest information about the support that is available and where it is available from.

“The Guide also provides useful information about a range of other issues relating to pensions, including the Pension Bonus and Work Bonus Schemes, the Carer Payment and Allowance, as well as health and discount cards that are available to pensioners,” Mr Truss said.

“The Guide is available free of charge and can be ordered by telephoning 1300 301 968, or downloaded from my website www.warrentruss.com.”

MORE THAN $4.3 MILLION IN ROADS TO RECOVERY FUNDING FOR WIDE BAY

Federal Member for Wide Bay and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, Warren Truss, today announced $4,324,662 of Federal Government funding for local road construction and street repairs in Wide Bay

“The funding will come from the Coalition Government’s $2.1 billion Roads to Recovery program,” Mr Truss said.

“Roads to Recovery funding assists councils to build new roads, repair streets and improve road access, according to Council priorities. It also provides an important boost to the economy, while improving road safety, the amenity of local communities, and convenience for motorists.

“In the 2014 Federal Budget, the Government doubled the Roads to Recovery payments for 2015-16, increasing funding to $700 million for the year. The Coalition Government has extended the Roads to Recovery program for another five years, ensuring that local road funding is able to be directed by councils to where it is most needed.

“Councils will be able to lodge their funding applications in October, to gain access to new payments under the Roads to Recovery program in November.”

Mr Truss said five local councils in Wide Bay will receive funding allocations in November:

COUNCIL 2014-15 ALLOCATION

Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire Council $27,755

Fraser Coast Regional Council: $1,660,154

Gympie Regional Council $940,481

Noosa Shire Council: $553,610

South Burnett Regional Council: $1,142,662

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION COMMENCES Council would like to advise that construction of the bridges for Kumbia

Brooklands Road and Gayndah Hivesville Road will commence on Monday 1 September 2014.

The contractor, CMC, will be constructing sidetracks and then commence building the bridges and associated roadworks at each site. A sidetrack will be available around each bridge site so there will be minimal impact on everyday users of these roads. The duration of works is expected to extend into 2015.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING

Santa is busy making his toys, the reindeers are being fed well in readiness for their big trip, shops are displaying their wares to Christmas music, and the Goomeri Lions Club is planning “Christmas in the Park”.

The Goomeri Christmas Carnival will be held on Saturday the 6th of December, it is hoped that the School Children will once again entertain the parents and friends with some Christmas Carols. Every year a competition is held for the best Christmas Poster in each grade, the winners are announced at the Carnival, and the prize money is given out, we look forward to seeing some good Posters.

We invite any interested stall holders to set up free of charge. The Christmas Lights competition will once again be contested and we

invite householders to start decorating their house early, as this will be judged prior to the carnival. Business houses are also urged to get into the spirit
