Sports Museum Visit by former Parramatta player A very welcome visitor to Allora last week was Mr. Kerry McLean, a man who helped numerous Allora and district organisations secure funding from the Government Gaming Grants. In the last round of funding, a grant of $5000 was given to the Allora Regional Sports Museum to provide air conditioning for the main and Hall of Fame room No. 1. The units were installed by Wade Platz (son of Hall of Famer, Greg) from P&T Air Toowoomba. Wade also made a sizable donation towards costs to fully service the entire building. Mr McLean is an ex Parramatta Eels player of the late 1960’s and his father was a Kangaroo of 1938. He was very impressed with the high quality of the Museum and congratulated the committee on such a valuable asset to the town. He will now apply for the next round to secure funding to complete the invaluable Laws collection and further expand the Sight & Sound displays.

Looking Back…Allora’s Past 25 years ago July 1992
Bridge OpenedThe William Deacon Bridge, dedicated to the first Head Teacher at the Allora State School 125 years ago, and grandfather of the present Allora Shire Chairman, Cr. Jim Deacon, was opened yesterday. The new bridge, built at a cost of $250,000, was officially opened by the Deputy President of the Federal Senate, Senator Mal Colston. Funding for the bridge was provided by a financial assistance grant to local authorities and from the Queensland Department of Transport local authorities road subsidy. The opening was attended by Department of Transport officials and district engineer, Member for Warwick Mr. Des Booth, Shire Councillors, students from the Allora State and St. Patrick’s Schools and members of the public.Allora’s Past 50 years ago July 1967
NOTICEParents of Cubs and Scouts and all those interested in scouting! We need your help in preparing a new den. If you could, please come on Tuesday next at 2 p.m. to
the School of Arts with mops, brooms and carpenter’s tools.A. Watts, Cubmaster.Allora’s Past 75 years ago July 1942
Casualty ListsOne Warwick man, Gnr. L. T. Cooper, and one Allora man, Pte. S. W. Carlyon, are included in the casualty lists issued yesterday containing the names of 207 A.I.F. men who enlisted in Queensland, all of whom are reported as missing overseas.Warwick Daily News 23rd July 1942(Gunner Les Cooper, 2/10th Field Artillery, and Private Stan Carlyon, 2/26th Infantry Battalion, were taken prisoner of war on the fall of Singapore on the 15th February 1942. Both worked with F Force on the Burma Thailand railway and survived to return to Australia in September 1945)Allora’s Past 100 years ago July 1917
Fatality at Show Grounds
About noon yesterday Mr. J. C. Marshall, secretary of the Allora Show Society, met with an accident which resulted in his death about three hours later. Mr. Marshall was preparing to return to his home at
Deuchar, but first he drove his sulky to the show grounds in order to take some water in a cream can he had with him. How the fatal accident occurred is a mystery. Mr. Marshall always drove a fast horse and it is possible that he was caught between the body of the sulky and the wheel, or was dashed against a near-by tree. Mr. Marshall was conveyed to Dr. Pain’s private hospital where he died without recovering consciousness. He leaves a widow and three young children.Allora’s Past 150 years ago July 1867

Next Super T delivery is heading westWellcamp Airport passengers and other users of Toowoomba-Cecil Plains Road now need to factor in more travelling time to destinations today, while Nexus installs 16 Super T girders on the Toowoomba Second Range Crossing (TSRC) bridge over Toowoomba-Cecil Plains Road at Wellcamp.Nexus Chief Executive Officer John Hagan said: “The Toowoomba-Cecil Plains Road girder deliveries are the first deliveries that will be installed over a major road.“Deliveries arrive in the early hours of the morning, as soon as the sun rises, a very large crane will be used to lift the girders in to place.“While the girders are in the air, traffic controllers will hold traffic for between five and fifteen minutes in both directions. The safety of motorists and workers will be our number one priority during this process. The amount of time that traffic is held depends on how quickly the girders can be secured.“People travelling to the Wellcamp Airport should allow extra travel time to ensure they get to their flights on time.”“The precast beams are manufactured off site to minimise disruption to nearby residents and transported via pre-approved haulage routes. Deliveries travel overnight from Brisbane and require intermittent closures of the westbound up lanes of the Warrego Highway, Toowoomba Range.”Toowoomba Range closures occur between midnight and 4am and will last for approximately an hour at a time.For further information about scheduled delivery dates please visit www.QLDtraffic.qld.gov.au or www.nexusTSRC.com.au.

BAD JOKE OF THE WEEKOn the glass door of the little country store, a stranger noticed a sign saying “DANGER! BEWARE OF THE DOG!”. Inside he noticed a harmless old hound dog asleep on the floor
next to the cash register.
He asked the storekeeper, “Is THAT the dog we are supposed to beware of?”
“Yep, that’s him,” he replied.
The stranger couldn’t help but laugh. “It certainly doesn’t look like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world do you need that sign?”
“Because,” the storekeeper replied, “before I posted that sign, people kept tripping over

a Southern Downs visit• Complement TEQ and SQCT cooperative marketing programs• Increase the number of visitors into our regional area• Generate increase in visitor spend and yield ensuring growth

Grocery shoppers can save at least $2,080 per year by understanding specials and changing habitsGrocery shoppers are throwing away over $2,000 per year unnecessarily on their grocery shopping bills, due to not understanding how to take advantage of special offers, according to the mySavvy Shopper’s consumer spendingalgorithm. Visit mySavvyShopper.com.au for grocery specials comparisons. mySavvy Shopper’s top ten tips to save over $2,000 from your annual grocery bill:1. Before you shop, check the supermarket catalogues for special offers from
the big stores coming up that week (some start on a Wednesday), then base meal plans and shopping lists around what’s on offer for best value.
2. Once you know where the specials are, develop a list by supermarket chain, and shop at more than one to maximise on discounts. Some consumers ‘split shop’ because they know that if a regular special isn’t available in one major supermarket chain, it is likely to be available in the other or if not, then it’s likely to appear in one of them the following week.
3. Is it really a good deal? Just because the label and catalogue states that a product is a special offer, look at the original price and size, to determine if it’s actually good value. Sometimes a larger size that is not on special offer is in fact cheaper.
4. Use the cost per 100g to work out what’s actually good value, and don’t be swayed by the size of the packaging itself, as this doesn’t indicate true product size.
5. Don’t visit a supermarket any more often than you have to. A recent survey by mySavvyShopper shows that on average, people come out with five more items they didn’t intend to buy.
6. Don’t be tempted to buy larger sizes of confectionery or other items deemed treats, just because they are on special. It’s highly likely that you’ll consume them just as quickly as smaller packs, and still have them on the shopping list next time.
7. Know where supermarkets keep the specials. The ends of aisles also hold special offers in temporary displays so you won’t miss them. There are also on-shelf specials that the manager may decide to put on shelf for that store only and end-of-line products.
8. Many big brands are often on special, so if these brands are on your shopping list you never need to buy them at full price again. The trick is to know that if they are not on special in your regular store one week, they will most likely be in a competitor’s store on special or back on special in yours the week after.
9. Just because a product is on ‘special’ does not mean it’s a good deal. Deals that ask you to buy more to get a price off can be hard to understand - is the third pack really “free”, or is the deal next to it better?
10. Be flexible with your brand choices, so try similar brands on special offer, rather than paying full price for the brand you automatically reach for.

Congratulations to the winners and all players.While this was happening we had a small group head out to Dalby for the DDGA Championships.

New Golf Carts for AlloraThe Allora Sports Club has just taken delivery of six Yamaha golf carts for use on the course. In recent years, the number of social golfers playing at Allora has increased dramatically, with many travelling from Warwick, Toowoomba and even further afield. Many golfers prefer to play golf in a cart and the Sports Club committee is confident that we will now attract more social golfing clubs and corporate golf days to play the challenging Allora course. If you would like to discuss hiring a golf cart please call Wendy on 0437 342 870.In other exciting golf news, the Club Secretary is delighted to confirm that local businesses Allora Engineering & Welding and Allora Tyre Service have extended their sponsorship of the 4th and 14th holes respectively. Well known locals Barry & Anne Glass are proprietors of these businesses and this sponsorship demonstrates their continued commitment to the Allora
community. Actually the fourth hole on the Allora course reflects Barry’s football persona. It is tough and uncompromising and will give you a whack behind the ear if you get out of line. The 14th is also like Anne. It is sweet and charming but should not be underestimated as it will not take any nonsense. If anyone is interested in sponsoring a golf hole they can contact John on 0448 196 647.

TRL Wrap: Round 14Valleys Roosters V Gatton Hawks - Valleys hosted Gatton in the Toowoomba Sports Club Match of the day at Herb Steinhrt Oval. The Roosters paceman, Travis Turnbull and Aaron Sillitoe scored tries within the first seven minutes
of the game to get the Roosters to an impressive start 12-0 but the game did settle down and Shannon Hicks grabbed a four pointer after 21 minutes to get the Hawks back in the game 12-6.Dylan Chown and Aaron Sillitoe stretched Valleys lead to 20-6 with impressive tries and they went to the break in control of the match.After the break, Steven Rodgers scored for Valleys with a bulldozing run to get the Roosters to 26-6. The Hawks mounted a mini comeback when experienced players Dennis Burgoyne and Dom Haak crossed for soft tries to get the Hawks within eight points. Player of the match Hnaloan Budden scored his double to put the game beyond doubt and Gatton’s Lachlan Gorman scored a consolation try just before the full time hooter sounded.The Roosters were very impressive but Gatton did show they are still a chance in this competition with some enterprising football. The Hawks entered the game without stars, Callum Woolacott and Billy Jackwitz but played effectively. The Roosters speed and game plan won them the day. Coach Brett Seymour and Liam Capewell combined well to lead their side around the park with Turnbull, Sillitoe and Chown taking full advantage. Throw in Hnaloan Budden and you have a very nice win. Valleys have a well-deserved break next round, whilst Gatton host Highfields. A GRADE: Valleys 38 (Hnaloan Budden 2,Aaron Sillitoe 2,

The Danes scored ten tries to Brothers two and dominated for long periods of time throughout the match. They led 32-0 at halftime and when on with it in the second half. Brothers toiled hard but were unable to continue their recent competitive form.

The PNG contingent were responsible for all of Dalby’s points with winger Shaun Wickham crossing for a hat trick. His brother Eli and Alex Ambia and Steve Franciscus also crossed for four pointers. Most pleasing for the Dalby team would be keeping their line intact. Not so pleasing is their goal-kicking effort with a none from five over four different kickers and the Diehards will be sweating on the retrun from Europe of Zac Morris.A GRADE: Dalby 24 (Shaun Wickham 3 Eli Wickham, Steve Franciscus, Alex Ambia tries) defeated Warwick 0 RESERVE GRADE: Dalby 32 V Warwick 16UNDER 18: Dalby 22 v Warwick 20 SECOND DIVISION: Dalby 40 Warwick 22Souths Tigers V Goondiwindi Boars - The Southern Suburbs Tigers have kept their season alive and will continue to walk the tightrope after a comprehensive win over Goondiwindi at Clive
Berghofer Stadium. Souths took some time to shake off a determined Goondiwindi effort before they ran away with the game in the second half. Tom Landers was again effective for the Tigers and ran in two tries. Jack Henningsen also chipped in with a double. Souths have leapfrogged Warwick into seventh spot and next week they take on cross town rivals, Brothers and win against the Brethren could see them move into a top six position.A GRADE: Souths 46 (Tom Landers 2, Luke Nolan, Sam Cocker, Jack Henningsen 2, Dwayne Duncan, Josh Ryan tries Luke Nolan 1, Dwayne Duncan 5 goals) defeated Goondiwindi 22 (Will Carter 2, Brandon Sharpley 2 tries Jarrod Dwyer 2, John Goodfellow goals)RESERVE GRADE: Souths 48 V Goondiwindi 0UNDER 18: Souths 48 V Goondiwindi 10LADDER - A Grade: Dalby 22, Valleys 22, Pittsworth 18, Highfields 18, Wattles 14, Gatton 14, Souths 12, Warwick 12, Brothers 4, Oakey 2, Goondiwindi 2.
