Last weekend Clayton OBrien from Blackallcompeted in the Professional Bull Riders WorldChallenge at the Gold Coast Convention Centre.The event consisted of two stages, the rst being

Australia versus the Rest of the World and thesecond on the following night, the 2009 PBR worldchallenge.The Friday night First Blood Friday saw Clayton,

as a member of the team of the top ten bull riders inAustralia, competing against ten international bullriders including riders from Canada, America, Braziland New Zealand.

On Saturday night, ten of the PBRs best internationalbull riders went up against a eld of the thirty topAustralian qualiers from the Bundaberg Rum PBRTouring Pro series, each of them riding for a piece

of the $50,000 prize money and the opportunity totake home the event buckle.

Having started bull riding casually with some of hisfriends in year 9 at school, Clayton says that he hasjust stuck with it.

It is something that I really enjoy doing.He had a shoulder reconstruction in 2006, and

has had many broken ribs, arms and legs in his bullriding career.

But it has never discouraged him from riding.

If you get bucked off, the only thing to do is to getstraight back on, Clayton said.

He trains when he can nd time, and goes runningand to the gym to keep t.

I just want to ride and have a good time doing it.Bomber and Louise Baillie of Baillie Contracting

were also involved in the Gold Coast PBR event, takingseven of their own bulls down for the competition.They came away with the title for the best bucking

bull with Wild Thing.

St Josephs Catholic Schoolprincipal Mr Tim Franzmann tooktime out this week to showcasesome of the latest additions to theschool thanks to grants received

late last year.The school has recently nished

spending the $27,890 for new ITequipment from the Capital SmallGrants Program, and $38,000from the Investing In Our SchoolsProgram from the QueenslandCatholic Education Commission.

Along with government fundingand P&F funds, the grants gavethe school a huge boost not onlyto start working towards buildingthe new multi-purpose sports

centre, but gave the school theability to purchase a wide varietyof new resources for the studentsat the school.

We are excited to be able to give

the kids the opportunity to accesssuch modern equipment, Mr TimFranzmann said this week.

Compared to city kids, countrykids are quite often forgottenabout, and we have been luckyto have this money available tospend on such a wide range ofresources.

I like to be able to offersomething different; to give thechildren the opportunity to haveaccess to things that they may not

normally have.Through the funding, the school

has introduced new approachesto learning including a Wii witheducational and musical features,

Qwizdom tools, new sportingequipment and many new libraryresources.The Qwizdom handheld remotes

provide an interactive responsesystem that students use to answertests provided by teachers.

making good progress in identifying

genetic traits that could reducethe risk of y strike.

Breeding will be part of anintegrated package of measuresto control y strike and producerswill select the mix that works bestfor their individual enterprise, DrSmith said.

We have already achieveda signicant reduction in theamount of blowy strike in ourselected lines this summer. It is

very promising that producerscan select sheep for reducedsusceptibly to blow y whileincreasing wool productivity.

Dont Miss Out

A Professor of Climate Change at AdelaideUniversity thinks we should halve Australiasdomestic ruminant numbers within twoyears.

When we have removed our cattle sheep andgoats, when water buy-back has diverted ourirrigation water to Environmental Flows, and

when Australia is covered by regrowth scrub,carbon credit forests, ethanol crop farms,protected remnant vegetation, Wilderness No-Go areas, National Parks, aboriginal reserves,World Heritage Areas, marine parks and WildRivers Reserves - I have just one question?

What are we, and the world, going to eat?

Viv ForbesChairman, The Carbon Sense Coalition
