A Request to Baby Boomers & Others
Would anyone happen to have a copy of the book (below) lying in a cupboard at home? It is the second in the Happy Venture Readers series.It was used extensively in QLD schools in the late 50s and then the 60s. I am teaching an adult to read and he has nearly mastered the Introductory Book, which was the first in the series. The approach the book takes seems to suit my student.

Queensland Day Celebrations in Pittsworth on Sunday June 12
This year marks the 152nd anniversary of Queensland becoming a separate colony from New South Wales. Here in Pittsworth we will be celebrating the occasion on Sunday 12 June at the Pioneer Village. Once again the Queensland Day Committee has organised a full program. Admission will be free. A highlight this year will be the display of over 90 historic motor vehicles. Participants in the Queensland Historic Motoring Council’s 2011 rally will be joining our celebration and giving local car enthusiasts the opportunity to view some quality vehicles from yesteryear. The cars will be on display from 9.30am and visitors will be able to purchase tea, coffee and scones from the Beauaraba QCWA ladies. Official proceedings will begin on the covered stage at 11am with the welcome by Cr. Ros Scotney from Toowoomba Regional Council. Allan Petersen, who will be the MC for the occasion, will then invite Cr Ros to read the Declaration of Queensland Day. This will be followed by the flag raising ceremony led by the local Guide group and Mark Schuster will perform “God Save the Queen”. Proceedings will then move to the Post Office where Cr Ros will officiate at the naming of one of the display rooms. Local land holders will then have the chance to record their cattle or horse brands for posterity on the Branding Board for $30 each. There will be displays by White Mischief and Amazing Soaps and the Craft Shop will be open. Gail Parish, Ruth Taylor and Barbara Harris will also have a lace and spinning display in the Post Office. Local gardening identity Penny McKinlay will be presenting a talk in her unique style. Old time children’s games will be organized by Allan Petersen and Bill Krautz to ensure the day rounds off with a family flavour. There’s no need for anyone to go hungry. Ron and Lyn Pearce and their helpers will use their camp oven expertise to provide traditional Aussie favourites such as stew, billy tea and damper with syrup. Cook’s Softdrinks will be on sale during the various activities. Mark Schuster will continue performing on his button accordion throughout the morning and the Queensland Day Committee is awaiting confirmation on other musical entertainment. Make sure you bring the family and join in what should be an enjoyable celebration at the Pioneer Village. It is envisaged that activities will be finished by 2pm.

Japanese Food And Drinks To Aid Disaster Victims on June 10th
The 10th, 11th and 12th of June of this coming Queen’s Birthday long weekend sees Toowoomba’s The Spotted Cow Hotel holding their first Milking The Cow Beer Festival, featuring 60 small-batch craft beers from around Australia and accompanied by a specially-matched dining menu. As part of the opening night celebrations on Friday, June 10th, legendary Japanese punk band The Jet Boys will take the stage, touring Australia for the very first time in their long and celebrated career. The Spotted Cow are therefore taking the chance to provide much-needed aid and comfort to the victims of Japan’s devastating earthquake and tsunami disasters by specially extending their range of Japanese drinks and serving authentic Japanese dishes for the night, and donating proceeds to the ongoing disaster relief efforts. Supported by the Toowoomba Japanese Group, the evening will feature a number of popular Japanese beers as well as the famous traditional rice wine known as “sake” in Australia, “shochu”, a distilled spirit from the southern island of Kyushu currently wowing drinkers in the hottest bars worldwide, highly-regarded Japanese whiskey, plus a range of cocktails and more! This will be a unique opportunity to sample Japan’s rich drinking culture, available at no other venue in town. Similarly exotic fare will complement the range of beverages, including “edamame” – green soybeans eaten from the pod as a traditional and wildly popular drinking snack – plus more well-known favourites such as yakitori and sushi. A portion of proceeds from tickets and Japanese drink sales will be donated to the Australian Red Cross’ Japan and Pacific Disaster Appeal. With nearly 200 000 people still housed in emergency shelter in the shattered communities of northern Japan, this represents a real opportunity to lend assistance and support to those in need – as well as a mighty fine night out! The evening commences with Japanese food service for ticket-holders from 8pm on Friday, June 10th. A specially-discounted opening night ticket package is available for $25 and includes the choice of two beers, the Japanese dishes and other savouries, and a $5 donation to the Red Cross.
