The surge in popularity of One Nation in Queensland also has both the ALP and the LNP in Queensland spooked and adds a wild-card factor to the current political scene in the Sunshine State.

LAWRENCE Springborg has refused to rule out a tilt at the senate at the next federal election - but for now he sees himself “back on the farm” at Yelarbon when he retires from politics after the next state election.

The veteran Southern Downs MP

of almost 30 years dropped a bombshell during an LNP gathering at the Tannymorel Hall east of Warwick at the weekend when he announced he would not be re-contesting the seat.

The next state election is due in January 2018 but there is widespread speculation Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk could go to the polls in early to mid-2017, with her

So, it’s back to the farm?

From page 1 When asked if he would rule out having a shot at the senate - with the next federal election due in July 2019 - he referred us to a line in his statement from Saturday, where he said it was “time to close this chapter of my political and public life and move onto the next one, whatever that may be”.

He then said of a senate bid that “nothing can ever be ruled out” and while he was “not into speculation” life was full of “twists and turns”.

But he said at this stage he saw himself returning to the Springborg family property at Yelarbon after the next state election, whenever it is held. The Springborg family are sheep and cattle producers, with a portion of their property leased out for grain-growing in recent years.

Mr Springborg and his wife Linda have four children, with the youngest having graduated from Year 12 this year and the others having either completed university or still studying.

“I suppose you could say we’re empty-nesters technically - with the boomerang effect you normally see,” he said.

In his Saturday media statement Mr Springborg said he had been “very privileged to be given such an opportunity by the people of Southern Downs, to be their parliamentary representative”.

“This decision gives a proper and respectful amount of time for those interested in representing the LNP, to talk with their families and put their names forward,” he said in the statement.

“It also gives a proper amount of time for local party members to select their candidate and the people of Southern Downs to get to know the candidate before the next state election.

“Ten terms ago, following my first election, I stood in the Queensland

Parliament and delivered my maiden speech.

“I outlined my values, beliefs and aspirations, founded on principles of individual liberty and responsibility, small government, lower taxation, enterprise and aspiration, underpinned by a belief in private property rights and the rule of law and family. Those beliefs have not changed.

“I said in that speech, that if I could enjoy 15 years representing the people of my electorate and Queensland, it may be time to pull up stumps. Yesterday, that 15 years turned into 27 years.”

Mr Springborg is currently the subject of a police investigation into ALP claims he misled a parliamentary committee in 2013 while Health Minister over when the decision was made to close the Barrett Adolescent Centre in Brisbane.

He has said he will “welcome the resolution” of the matter but has declined to comment further.

LNP state president Gary Spence said it was “with great sadness that I received advice from Lawrence Springborg of his intention to not recontest the next state election”.

“Lawrence has been a leading figure in Queensland politics since he was first elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly in 1989.

“He has held a number of portfolios, both during times in Opposition and in Government, and led the Opposition four times during his career.

“However, Lawrence’s greatest contribution to politics in Queensland was his foresight and determination to forge a single, united conservative party, and to give Queenslanders a real choice at the ballot box.

“Undoubtedly he will go down in history as the architect of the LNP, and rightly so.

“Since the merger of the former Liberal and National parties in 2008, the LNP has grown to be the largest and most successful political party in the nation.”

Who will step up?

SOUTHERN Downs voters could know who the new LNP candidate to replace Lawrence Springborg is by February next year.

With rumours of an early State Election LNP state director Lincoln Folo told the Free Times party nominations for Southern Downs could open in “the third or fourth week of January”.

But he said the pre-selection process could take time depending on the number and quality of the candidates who come forward and it was impossible to put even a rough timeframe around.

He said all LNP party members in the Southern Downs who had been financial members for at least 12 months were eligible to vote in the preselection ballot but there was no minimum membership period for the candidates themselves.

The Free Times approached the three current Southern Downs councillors who are LNP members - Deputy Mayor Jo McNally and councillors Cameron Gow and Vic Pennisi - to see if they were thinking of having a crack at State politics.

Cr McNally said “following party protocol” she was “unable to comment at this stage”, while Cr Pennisi had not responded by time of printing.

Cr Gow was more forthcoming , saying he believed “strongly that, if approached by the party, anyone would be deeply honoured to even be asked to follow in Lawrence’s footsteps”.

Another rumoured contender is Goondiwindi councillor Rob McKenzie, who chairs the LNP’s internal electoral council in the Southern Downs electorate.

Cr McKenzie was mum on his own intentions, saying the internal LNP processes were there to ‘ensure everyone who is interested in nominating has the opportunity to do so”.

One party not mucking around is One Nation, which has already endorsed a candidate to contest the Southern Downs electorate at the next State Election, but at this stage they won’t reveal their identity.

Senator Pauline Hanson’s chief of Staff James Ashby told the Free Times this week the party had picked its local State candidate.

“We have a candidate already endorsed for Southern Downs, but the party won’t be revealing who it is until next Thursday (December 15),” Mr Ashby said.

Wind farm fortune hangs on the breeze

By Jeremy Sollars THE developer of a proposed wind farm at Dalveen south of Warwick says while there’s “not a conga line” of financial backers lining up to help him fund the $40 million project he’s confident work will start by mid-2017.

And he also concedes he doesn’t yet have a formal agreement in place with Ergon Energy to feed power generated at the wind farm into their grid.

Brisbane-based wind farm proponent Tim Lucas finally got the allclear on the project from the Southern Downs Regional Council last week after nearly three years of haggling over

conditions and objections from locals.

Mr Lucas has down-sized the wind farm - to be built on land at Rabbit Fence Road at Dalveen - from eight to six turbines and the project would require a three-kilometre section of new 33 KV powerline from the wind farm to the main Ergon powerline into Stanthorpe.

Mr Lucas first announced his plans in early 2013, at a time when Ergon Energy was looking at duplicating its existing 110KV line from Warwick to Stanthorpe to boost Stanthorpe’s short and long-term power demand.

The Ergon plan met with heated opposition from property owners facing

resumptions for new easements and was scrapped by Ergon in 2014 in favour of an upgrade to the existing line.

Mr Lucas claims his wind farm could generate around 7.5 megawatts daily to help feed Stanthorpe, claiming the town’s current daily demand is 12Mw. Wind farm turbines typically stand between 60 and 120 metres in height and have been opposed in other parts of Australia due to concerns primarily over noise.

Mr Lucas would not reveal to the Free Times how much of the $40 million required for his wind farm had al-

ready been raised, saying it was “commercially sensitive”.

He has previously stated he would be seeking “private equity” backing for the project.

“But look, we’ve had good interest, and while there’s not a conga line of investors lining up I’m confident we’ll get there, we’re looking for JV (joint venture) partners to come on board,” he said this week.

“We’re very happy with the conditions we’ve finally signed off on with the council - the main focus to date has been simply gaining that final approval.”

Mr Lucas said discussions with Ergon Energy had begun but were “not well advanced” at the present time.

He also told the Free Times he’d had no recent discussions with surrounding Dalveen landowners but understood one of the principal objectors had now left the area.

A spokesman for Ergon Energy would not comment on the nature of negotiations to date with Mr Lucas, also citing commercial confidentiality. * The Free Times is keen to speak with residents who may have concerns about this project.

GRAINX at Allora has twice refused to comment on concerns raised by residents in the vicinity over noise, dust and chemical contamination.

As reported in the Free Times last week, Allora residents on Herbert Street, across the road from the GrainX Australia grain handling facility, have spoken of their lives as virtual “prisoners” in their own homes for the past five years.

Dust - including toxic chemical residue - and noise from the site have turned their daily lives into a living hell since the facility was approved by the Southern Downs Regional Council in 2011.

Health impacts from chemical use, sleep deprivation, stress and de-valued properties sum up life on Herbert Street and other nearby streets in “The Best Little Town on the Downs”.

There also concerns over the wellbeing of students at Allora State School and residents of The Homestead Southern Cross Care nursing home just a few hundred metres from GrainX on nearby Forde Street.

The Free Times approached GrainX for comment ahead of last week’s story but no response was received.

The newspaper again contacted GrainX this week seeking comment and also information in

Herbert Street residents, from left, Neil and Michelle Bower, Pat Attard and Gary and Sandy Manson. relation to other sites the company owns in the Allora region outside of the town area to which the grain facility could be moved, but the company declined to comment for a second time.

Herbert Street residents claim the company has been both tardy and has failed to comply with council directives set down in March this year relating to dust and noise assessments and landscaping requirements, including a five-metre wide foliage strip with mature plantings.

A Southern Downs Regional

Council spokeswoman said the council was expecting to receive a report from GrainX’s consultants by 31 January 2017.

The council’s director of Planning, Environment and Corporate Services Ken Harris said last week that the council was aware that some landscaping had been undertaken, but to date was not satisfactory.

“Further landscaping has been requested to meet the requirement, and officers are working with GrainX to ensure appropriate trees and shrubs are planted.”

POLICE have identified human remains found at Glen Aplin south of Stanthorpe last Thursday, 1 December, as those of missing Gold Coast man Jamie Hardgraves.

Detective Inspector David Isherwood told the media on Monday that po- Jamie Hardgraves. lice didn’t know how Mr Hardgraves got to the location.

Mr Hardgraves’ last confirmed sighting was on CCTV footage in the Stanthorpe CBD in late May. This was after he hit a kangaroo near Texas and dumped his car, before hitchhiking into Stanthorpe.

Det Insp Isherwood said a post-mortem would begin late this week.

The last confirmed sighting of Mr Hardgraves, 43, was at Thiedke Road at Beaudesert on Tuesday 17 May. On the evening of Tuesday 17 May he was also seen at a service station at Springwood.

Mr Hardgraves’ vehicle was located damaged at Stanthorpe-Texas Road early on 18 May, approximately 16 kilometres east of Texas.

The remains were found at a Kerridges Road property at Glen Aplin about 5pm last Thursday.

Det Insp Isherwood said the state of the remains suggested they had been at the location for some time, which was consistent with the timeframe in which Mr Hardgraves went missing.

He urged anyone who may have seen the deceased, particularly around the Glen Aplin area, at the time of his disappearance to come forward.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1800 333 000 or via crimestoppers.com.au 24 hours a day.

Freight service is a real boost to trade

By Jeremy Sollars

Mayor Tracy Dobie with Wellcamp Airport's Sara Hales.

THE inaugural Mayor’s Leadership Breakfast was held at Rupert’s Bar and Grill in Warwick yesterday, Wednesday 7 December.

A large gathering of the region’s business figures went along to hear Mayor Tracy Dobie speak about infrastructure needs and a presentation from Brisbane West Wellcamp Airport’s Commercial and Communications manager Sara Hales.

The council plans to make the Mayor’s Leadership Breakfast a regular event with high-profile guest speakers and for a chance to do some business networking.

Ms Hales outlined the infrastructure capabilities of Wellcamp Airport - privately owned and constructed by the Wagner family of Toowoomba - which last month saw the first Cathay Pacific Airways cargo flight depart for Hong Kong, with a shipment of Darling Downs chilled beef on board.

The international scheduled weekly freight service will be operated on a Cathay Pacific 747-8F, which will initially depart from Sydney, then land in Melbourne, with a final stop in Toowoomba before the nine-hour direct flight to Hong Kong.

Wagners Global chairman and airport developer John Wagner said at the time he was “absolutely delighted Cathay Pacific had committed to operating a scheduled weekly Boeing 747-8F service out of the airport.”

/mth

“The opportunities this creates for Queensland exporters to benefit from Australia’s free trade agreements and to access the world’s biggest consumer markets are unlimited,” Mr Wagner said.

“We are on the cusp of very exciting times and the reality for our multi-million-dollar agricultural and processing sectors is produce like chilled beef and other perishables will be able to fly direct to Asia from the region in which they are produced, creating both valuable first mile and cool chain efficien-

cies, and enabling significant capacity for the growth of trade.”

At yesterday’s breakfast, Ms Hales took questions on issues such as the relatively high cost of passenger flights from Wellcamp Airport to southern capitals, which, she said, came down to airline competition and passenger numbers on particular flights.

She also acknowledged signage directing travellers from Warwick and Stanthorpe to Wellcamp Airport was less than optimal, saying Wellcamp was in talks with the Depart-

ment of Transport and Main Roads.

Ms Hales told the Free Times Wellcamp Airport expected to receive a ‘restricted international airport’ classification from the Federal Government by the end of this year, which would formalise its international cargo operations but would not allow for international passenger flights at this point in time.

For more information on business opportunities offered by Brisbane West Wellcamp Airport visit www.wellcamp.com.au

In brief Newspaper sale decision announced today AUSTRALIA’S competition and consumer watchdog is expected to announce its final decision on the sale of APN’s newspaper arm Australian Regional Media (ARM) to Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp today, Thursday 8 December.

The announcement was due last Thursday, but the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) delayed it for a week to allow them to consider the responses from the parties to an ACCC request for further information.

The ACCC has previously said the proposed acquisition would combine the two main newspaper publishers in Queensland.

ARM owns regional titles in Queensland and northern New South Wales, including the Warwick Daily News, the Stanthorpe Border Post and the Toowoomba Chronicle.

Public submissions on the proposed $36.6 million purchase of ARM by News Corp closed on 27 October.

Under the deal, ARM’s community and regional publications would be added to News’ extensive portfolio of community, regional, state, and national publications.

“The ACCC is investigating the effect that this would have on competition for both readers and advertisers,” a spokesman said in early October.

Councillors plan to chat up residents THE next Southern Downs Regional Council ‘Cuppa with the Councillors’ will be held at the Killarney Senior Citizens Centre on Ailanthus Street at Killarney, on Wednesday 14 December from 5.30pm.

The council forums provide the opportunity for councillors to engage with residents so they can raise issues of concern and learn about what council is up to in their neck of the woods.

Spate of motorbike accidents Casey’s tips

By Jeremy Sollars THE Queensland Ambulance Service will contact the owners of Gap Creek Farmstay at Tregony north of Warwick to discuss an ongoing spate of motorbike accidents.

Dozens of injuries to riders visiting the popular venue this year have seen ambulances from Warwick and the RACQ LifeFlight helicopters called multiple times in what some are beginning to see as a potentially life-threatening drain on resources.

Two RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopters flew to Gap Creek Farm within 30 minutes of each other for separate motocross incidents last Sunday, 4 December.

Both the Toowoomba and Sunshine Coast LifeFlight helicopters arrived minutes apart from each other after responding to separate crashes.

The Sunshine Coast crew airlifted a 26-year-old Gold Coast man to the Brisbane’s Princess Alexandra Hospital after he suffered a lower leg injury after colliding with a tree on his motocross bike.

The Toowoomba crew airlifted another 29-year-old Gold Coast man to Toowoomba Hospital after he suffered a broken leg when he fell from his motocross bike after attempting a jump.

The ambulance service will discuss the ongoing spate of motorbike accidents with Gap Creek Farmstay.

A spokeswoman for the Queensland Ambulance Service said its Assistant Commissioner would be contacting the operators of Gap Creek Farmstay “to see what can be done to reduce the workload”.

An incident at the weekend partly related to ambulance resources being tied up at Gap Creek Farmstay involved a 13-year-old boy who was injured playing cricket in Warwick around 1.40pm on Saturday.

The Free Times has learned the boy - who was struck in the eye with a cricket ball - was rushed to Warwick Hospital but was forced to wait for more than four hours for an ambulance to transport him to hospital in Brisbane.

The boy suffered a blood clot from the injury with pressure from the clot constricting his optic nerve and causing significant pain.

A source close to the boy’s family, who declined to be named, said hospital staff advised him that one of three available Warwick ambulances had been diverted to Gap Creek Farmstay after the boy’s arrival at Warwick Hospital and the other two were attending incidents at Leyburn and Karara.

“At one stage, after about three and a half hours up there waiting, the staff were talking about putting him in a taxi with a nurse to take him to Brisbane,” they told the Free Times.

“In the end they got an ambulance from Stanthorpe - that was about four and half hours after we first went up there (to the hospital).

“Fortunately he did not require surgery but there was certainly concern about the boy losing his sight.”

The source, who lives at Inglewood, also questioned why Warwick “has three ambulances for 30,000 people and Inglewood has two ambulances with a population of 1000”.

The Free Times contacted Workplace Health and Safety Queensland for comment in relation to injuries at Gap Creek Farm but were advised by a spokeswoman to contact the QAS as “these were not workplacerelated injuries”.

A spokeswoman for the Southern Downs Regional Council said the council had not received any formal complaints about any aspects of non-compliance with council’s conditions of operation on the Gap Creek Farmstay venue.

It is understood that council conditions include limitations on the maximum number of riders who can be at the venue at any given time.

The Free Times sought comment from the owners of Gap Creek Farmstay but they had not replied by the time of going to press.

Neville’s little gizmo is helping to shoo the roo

By Jeremy Sollars

Print still No.1 Local newspapers lead the way 1209057-48-15

A PIERCING whine - unlike the ones which emanate from small children inside the car - coming from below your bumper bar may be the trick to avoiding collisions with kangaroos, says Warwick’s Neville Black.

Mr Black contacted the Free Times after reading our story last week on the safety risks posed by roos at the Morgan Park Raceway, saying he swore by his ‘sonic animal guards’, otherwise known as ‘shoo roos’.

He said the devices - which retail for less than $10 a throw - emitted a

high-pitched noise undetectable by human ears but which seem to scare the living daylights out of our macropod mates.

The small plastic cones, with a hole at the front of the tube and an outlet below it, can be easily attached to the front of your vehicle, typically below the grill or in the

spaces near your headlights.

The normal motion of the vehicle out on the road over 50km/h generates sufficient air passage through the devices to cause the noise, with manufacturers claiming the sound wave can be heard by animals more than two kilometres away “in ideal conditions”.

Walk for a safe haven Casey’s tips

EVERYONE is invited to join Warwick Safe Haven and Zonta Warwick for the Domestic Violence Peace Walk and Candle Lighting Ceremony this Friday evening, 9 December.

The peace walk and candle lighting ceremony have been coordinated for a number of years in Warwick and it is always a very powerful opportunity to join with others to support and remember those affected by domestic and family violence.

Warwick Safe Haven management committee president Bette Bonney said the Cancer Fund was providing a tent for the outdoor ceremony and the Warwick Hockey Club had kindly offered its clubhouse after the ceremony to host the participants for some refreshments.

“This will also be the wet weather venue for the ceremony

should storms overtake us,” she said.

“Please consider joining us for the walk, led out by the Heritage Highlanders Pipe Band.

“There will be some guest speakers sharing their insights into this issue and then the chance to come forward and light a candle, proudly supported and provided by Burstows.

“Please share this invitation with your networks, both professional and private.”

No bookings are required.

The Domestic Violence Peace Walk and Candle Lighting Ceremony is on Friday 9 December.

Gather by the Queens Park skate bowl at 6.30pm for a 6.45pm start.

Officials say New Zealand is part of Australia passport, the New Zealand Herald reported.

“I landed in Kazakhstan on the last flight of the night, and I got to an immigration booth and they asked me for an Australian passport, and told me I couldn’t come in without an Australian passport,” Ms Phillips-Harris told the Herald.

“They said New Zealand’s clearly a part of Australia.”

Ms Phillips-Harris said New Zealand was missing from a map of

Odd Spot A KIWI tourist was detained in Kazakhstan after immigration officials refused to believe New Zealand was a country, insisting it was actually a state of Australia.

Chloe Phillips-Harris, 28, arrived at Kazakhstan’s Almaty Airport in May after being assured by the New Zealand Embassy that she would be able to enter the Central Asian country on her Kiwi passport.

But officials at the airport told her she wouldn’t be able to enter the country without an Australian

the world in the room she was interrogated in, which made it impossible for her to convince Kazakhstan immigration officials that her home country really existed.

She said she realised too late that she probably had to pay her way out of the tricky situation.

“Plainclothes policemen got involved, immigration police got involved, airport officials got involved ... and at that stage it was a bit late to bribe my way out, which apparently is what I was supposed to do from

the beginning, but being a New Zealander we’re not familiar with that,” Ms Phillips-Harris said.

She said she was interrogated for hours and locked in a guard room for a day and a half.

Eventually, with the help of contacts in Kazakhstan, Ms Phillips was able to secure a new visa, a US passport and an exchange of cash that allowed her to escape detention and enter the country, where she ended up staying for six months.

THE story of the gates of Glengallan Homestead possibly returning to the site was interesting to read.

Many worthy people with an enduring interest in what eventuates at Glengallan have given their all to this historic treasure.

It will forever amaze this writer that it was during the time I was almost single-handedly managing the homestead, that the $2 million grant was awarded.

However, someone who became a dear friend to me, Mr Wally Leggett, was more important overall.

No-one before or since has come even close to performing the miracle of recovery and sustainability of such a rare treasure.

All who visit will see Wally’s last gift, his flagpole, standing by, honouring his outstanding contribution to his nation and its history.

Melba Morris, Allora.

Fuel to the tax fire WITH the lowering of the oil prices our petrol should be cheaper at the bowser.

Actually, petrol should be below $1 a litre.

Why has our high taxing Federal Government allowed the high prices to continue? Fuel prices proportionately increase the moment oil prices increase.

Australia has been overtaxed for too long.

How long will it take before we give the Government a vote of no confidence for the ever increasing prices and taxes?

It’s time for the public to get relief from the heavy hand of government taxation.

Jay Nauss, Glen Aplin.

Casey’s y’s tips

Flying high THE Southern Downs Regional Council has been monitoring a colony of flying foxes in Stanthorpe, which have taken up residence above the ‘Red Bridge’ on Quart Pot Creek.

The council’s director of planning, environmental and corporate services Ken Harris said a council officer had inspected the area.

“The animals appear to be grey-headed flying foxes and, although there are anecdotal reports of ’thousands’ of these animals, the estimate is that there is somewhere between 300 to 500 hundred flying foxes in various locations along Quart Pot Creek,” Mr Harris said.

Mr Harris said one particular roost was identified in poplar trees in Lions Park close to Ergon Energy.

He said this area had been cordoned off due to flying fox droppings.

“Council staff will take steps to clean the area in and around the Lions Park picnic tables in the lead-up to Christmas,” Mr Harris said.

“Council has also been liaising with the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection regarding the roosts.”

Mr Harris said while there had been substantial damage to stone fruit and other crops, it was important to remember grey-headed flying foxes were a protected species.

“Primary producers, and in particular fruit growers, that are concerned about damage being sustained to their crops by flying foxes, can apply to the DEHP for a Damage Mitigation Permit to undertake lethal control on their properties,” he said.

“Growers should contact the department direct for information about such permits.”

Mr Harris said while the council was continuing to monitor the flying foxes, it was not looking at moving the colonies on.

He reaffirmed a small percentage of flying foxes carry the Lyssavirus.

“If you find a sick, injured or orphaned flying fox or bat, do not touch it,” he said.

For further information about flying foxes visit the council’s website or the DEHP’s website.

Reduced lamb supply

Backpacker relief

By Jeremy Sollars PEAK horticulture body, Growcom, this week welcomed the eleventh hour agreement between the Australian Greens and the Coalition to support the amended backpacker tax bill setting the backpacker tax rate at 15 per cent. The legislation passed the Senate last Thursday night, 1 December.

Chief Advocate Rachel Mackenzie thanked the Greens for working out a compromise with the Coalition to end the political brinkmanship and hammer out a sensible position which benefitted the industry.

The $100 million for Landcare was an added bonus.

“Growers can breathe a sigh of relief that sanity has finally been restored in the form of a competitive rate of tax agreed to by the industry which is equivalent to that paid by workers under the Seasonal Worker Programme,” Ms Mackenzie said.

“A 15 per cent tax rate will ensure that Australia will continue to be seen overseas as an attractive destination for working holiday makers. That we had to go through this disgraceful political circus for the past 18 months to get to this point will not be forgotten by growers in a long, long time.

“However, uncertainty has now been banished and growers currently planning crops next year can have more confidence that workers will return, hopefully at the same levels as have formerly been the case. We also hope that those growers harvesting summer crops now or in the next few weeks will not be unduly

Stanthorpe apple producer Rosie Savio is relieved the backpacker tax issue has been resolved. disadvantaged by this late decision.”

As a result of the agreement, the Bill was passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate late last week.

Under the agreement, the withholding tax rate for 417 and 462 visas will be set at 15 per cent, consistent with the income tax rate applicable to 416 visa holders under the Seasonal Workers Programme.

The agreement included an amendment to the superannuation arrangements for Working Holiday Makers which will be set at 65 per cent for all 417 and 462 Visa holders from 1 July 2017.

In addition, the Government agreed to provide a one-off additional funding commitment of $100 million to be provided to Landcare Australia.

Stanthorpe apple producer Rosie Savio said she was simply “relieved” the issue had been resolved and had no comment to make on the political machinations involved.

She said her family operations used backpackers “all year round” and was confident they would have a sufficient labour force when harvest season commences next February.

THE New Year should see the Australian lamb and sheep market benefit from reduced supplies and positive demand from domestic consumers, Meat and Livestock Australia’s (MLA) 2017 Sheep Industry projections forecast this week.

The latest projections also point to a reduction in Australian lamb slaughter and decreases in both production and exports on the back of a smaller ewe flock and lower lamb markings.

MLA’s Manager of Market Information, Ben Thomas, said lamb slaughter is projected to be 22 million head for 2017, down two per cent from the estimated 2016 level.

“While this is a decline year-on-year, 22 million head is still in line with the long-term growth trend observed over the past decade,” Mr Thomas said.

“Breaking the annual processing down to a quarterly basis, it is anticipated that the June and September quarters will be when supplies are the tightest. Lamb availability in the March quarter on the other hand, is likely to benefit from carryover stocks from the final months of 2016, when extremely wet weather delayed many lambs coming to market.”

Assuming average seasonal conditions and a return to normal lamb marking rates, the numbers of lambs processed are anticipated to increase to 23 million head by 2020. Mr Thomas said Australian lamb production for 2017 is projected to ease 2 per cent to 492,000 tonnes carcase weight (cwt), and while this is a year-on-year decline, the volume is in the realms of record territory.

“The Australian domestic market is anticipated to remain the largest consumer and account for 48 per cent of production, or 237,000 tonnes cwt, with many encouraging signs coming from the market,” he said.

“For instance, domestic per capita consumption has stabilised in recent years, while at the same time the weighted average retail price has been increasing.

“To put this in perspective, domestic lamb retail prices in 2016 averaged just 10 cents shy of the record high set in 2011, at $14.51/kg, and per capita consumption is 8 per cent higher now than what it was then.”

On the export front, Australian lamb shipments are anticipated to ease four per cent year-on-year in 2017, to 220,000 tonnes shipped weight (swt).

SUMMER’S here - as if we didn’t know it this week - and Free Times weather guru TERRY WEST shares his outlook for December - and Christmas Day...

It’s hit and miss FOR the next few days, we will continue to see some showers and storms but they are hit and miss. This seems to be the pattern the weather will take throughout December with quite a few rain days forecast, but not a lot of rain in them and hit and miss as to where will get it.

December is showing drier than average according to models for 2016, and days and nights will stay warmer than average.

The main driver for this outlook is Southern Annular Mode (also known as SAM).

When SAM is showing a negative, Australia will have more high pressure systems moving through and will reduce the amounts of rainfall we should get.

When this happens in summertime, weather systems are further north than usual, meaning Australia experiences higher pressures than normal.

This is typically associated with reduced rainfall and higher temperatures.

La Nina ...

Even though the ENSO (El Nino/ Southern Oscillation) is in a neutral phase, it is starting to swing slightly to a La Nina. This will increase sea surface temperatures in the western Pacific Ocean and may lead to the formation of the first cyclone of the season toward the end of the year.

Over southern and eastern Australia, the cold front events with - potential to bring widespread rain - are now expected between 12 December to 16 Decem-

Electric response THE Queensland Government has released its response to the recommendations to the Queensland Productivity Commission’s (QPC) Electricity Pricing Inquiry Final Report with a specific emphasis on regional and agricultural businesses.

Queensland Farmers’ Federation (QFF) president Stuart Armitage welcomed the Government’s announcement of a $10 million Regional Business Support Package.

The Regional Business Support Package includes: Up to $2 million for the targeted deployment of new meters to allow large business customers to identify specific bill impacts across tariff options; $400,000 for a Small Customer Impacts Trial and $500,000 to build greater capacity to convey electricity bill impacts to each customer under different tariff options, to facilitate improved customer understanding of electricity bill impacts; $500,000 to enhance and promote existing energy audit services to help customers understand how to lower their electricity bills; and $4-6 million in funding to undertake a trial to test the benefits of Government co-contributions to help business customers on transitional and obsolete tariffs to invest in operational and equipment changes to manage bill impacts.

“Whilst the support package will not directly lower electricity prices, it is positive that the Government is at least acknowledging the impact reoccurring electricity prices increases are having on

ber, 19 December to 23 December and 1 January to 5 January.

In summary ...

Storms are expected through December, but may not deliver the rain needed to farmers. Temperatures are likely to be a bit above average and nights will be too.

A fire danger will exist through much of December.

Christmas Day ...

At this stage, it looks like Christmas Day may be partly cloudy during the morning with the cloud clearing to a fine, hot day and a chance of a storm in the afternoon.

Temperatures should range from a Christmas Eve low of around 17c to a high of around 32c.

farming businesses,” Mr Armitage said.

“QFF commend the Government for listening to industry’s concerns around effectiveness of the current efforts in getting farmers to transition from the ‘transitional and obsolete’ tariffs to standard costreflective tariffs by 1 July 2020.

“With over 42,000 regional businesses currently transitioning to the cost-reflective tariffs by 1 July 2020, there is still a long way to go in supporting and assisting these businesses.

“QFF in particular welcome the Agricultural Tariff Trial project as an opportunity for farmers to understand their energy use through the use of smart metres to allow them to identify the most appropriate new tariffs.

“QFF is looking forward to continuing its work with Government to ensure further work is undertaken to assist farmers and businesses better understand the options available to improve value for electricity customers, particularly those in regional Queensland by addressing distortions in the market such as the non-reversion policy which has had limited effect in supporting the expansion of competition in regional Queensland.

“1 July 2020 is fast approaching and time is running out for both industry and Government to put the right frameworks in place to ensure Queensland farmers are ready for the tariff transfer.

“QFF and its industry members will continue to work constructively with Government to ensure our sector is ready for the tariff change over in 2020.”

Hitching up HITCHING the car to the caravan isn’t as hard as it looks. If you’re doing it on your own, you can get hitching aids from caravan accessories shops. If you’ve got an assistant, here are a few tips: Warm up the towing vehicle’s engine and transmission by taking it for a short drive (if you just leave the engine idling in the van park, you might annoy other campers).

Apply the van brake and raise the van’s corner stabilisers.

Using the jockey wheel, ensure the front of the van is raised high enough to allow the tow ball to pass under the coupling.

Practice and agree on any hand signals that will be used by the assistant.

Make sure the assistant stands clear of the car’s reversing path.

Once the tow ball is in place under the coupling, lower the jockey wheel to mate the parts; then connect the safety chain, electricals, load levelling hitch and brakes (as applicable) and remove or stow the jockey wheel.

Release the trailer’s handbrake.

A final check BEFORE taking to the road at any time, ensure that: Corner stabilisers are up and jockey wheel is stowed.

Coupling lock mechanism is firmly fixed.

Safety chains are attached.

Brake coupling / wiring is connected.

Light wiring has been connected to the car and the lights are working.

Tyre pressures of car and van are correct.

Wheel chocks are removed.

Windows and hatches are closed and locked.

Van step is retracted.

Electricity lead, water and sullage hoses are disconnected and stowed.

Inside, cupboard doors are closed and movable objects are packed to prevent sliding around.

Gas is off and fridge is turned over to 12v supply if fitted (note: gas pilot lights must be turned off when refuelling the towing vehicle).

The TV antenna is removed or retracted.

The caravan door is locked and safely latched.

Outside rear vision mirrors have been adjusted and the windscreen has been cleaned.

Loading the caravan IT’S important to load the caravan correctly so that it tows well. Here are some tips: Keep the centre of gravity low by putting heavy items near the floor and where possible over the axle/s.

When packing a caravan for the first time, check that its ATM/GTM and ball load is not exceeded; and that you meet all tow vehicle and tow bar specifications. If you do exceed the ball load, you can try re-stowing contents – but don’t simply move gear to the rear of the van, as this will affect the stability. If this doesn’t work, you may need to change the caravan/tow vehicle combination.

Some caravans carry greater weight on one side (because of the fridge, stove, sink, etc.). Balance this out by loading portable equipment on the other side.

Remove unnecessary items and use lightweight items wherever possible to reduce the caravan’s weight and save on fuel. Try not to carry large quantities of water (unless you’re going somewhere that water is unavailable).

Rubber matting or foam on shelves will stop the contents from sliding.

Wrap glassware and other breakables in towels or newspapers. Use plastics where possible.

Don’t leave loose articles on the floor where they can roll around and cause damage.

Store food and equipment that you will need when you first stop within easy reach.

Carry all the tools and equipment you need for hitching and unhitching in an easy to access place.

Load levelling devices LOAD levelling devices redistribute the load between the front and rear axles of the tow vehicle for greater stability, steering response and braking. Before buying one, know that: They DO NOT reduce the ball load of the caravan.

They should only be used on tow bars and vehicles that are intended for them, or else they may cause structural failure.

You should seek specialist advice from the licensed dealer or a caravan parts retailer or supplier before fitting a load levelling device.

Extension mirrors IF you are towing a caravan and can’t see the cars behind you (on either side), you must fit external rear vision mirrors.

Christmas events...

MARYVALE’S CHRISTMAS IN THE PARK Friday 9 December from 4pm - In the park opposite the Crown Hotel

Plants available at garage sale STANTHORPE’S Whistle Stop Garden is holding a plant sale in conjunction with ArtWorks Granite Belt, who is holding a garage sale at the Stanthorpe railway precinct on Saturday 10 December.

The plants are from a small local wholesale nursery - the owner is closing up that part of his business next week and has decided to let Whistle Stop Garden sell them on his behalf.

The plants are organically grown, are wonderfully healthy and range from potted strawberry plants, culinary herbs, tomatoes and other vegetables and flowering plants.

Part of the income from the sale of these plants will be gratefully received by Whistle Stop Garden and used to continue to run their heritage and community garden.

Whistle Stop Garden’s worm farms are continuing to produce the healthy and useful worm juice, and two-litre bottles are on sale at their stall, along with mini worm farms or starter kits.

This dynamic liquid is great for the garden and it is encouraging to see the sale of worms increasing to people in the community who are setting up their own worm farms.

In addition, oak, bay, and fig trees will be available as well as flowering geraniums of various colours - all propagated by volunteers.

The garage sale has many “must have” items and will assist ArtWorks Granite Belt to further their plans for upgrading the railway station building for use by members of the community.

When and where: Saturday, 7.30am, 10 December - entrance through Davadi Street gates opposite IGA.

A HOMESPUN CHRISTMAS Saturday 10 December, 5pm 8pm Twilight Market - 117 Granite Belt Drive, The Summit CHRISTMAS DOWN UNDER Tuesday 13, Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 December 9.30 to 3pm - craft, puppet shows, story telling, face painting - Williams Hall (Uniting Church), Guy Street Warwick CHRISTMAS CAROLS ACROSS SOUTHERN DOWNS Stanthorpe - Friday 9 December from 6pm, Weeroona Park Warwick - Sunday 11 December from 5pm, Leslie Park Killarney - Sunday 18 December from 7.30pm, Anglican Church CAROLS IN THE CHAPEL Wednesday 15 December from 7.30pm - Scots - PGC Chapel, Oxenham Street, Warwick

FREE Times gardening columnist BEATRICE HAWKINS gets into the festive spirit this week and also shares some trivia...

Christmas bloomer Garden Time with Beatrice THE birthday flower for December is the beautiful poinsettia that is for sale everywhere at present as a Christmas flower.

Once again it is obvious that these flowers are decided in the Northern Hemisphere as the poinsettia does not flower naturally here at this time.

It is a winter flowering, tropical shrub and to have them flowering for us to buy at this time of the year requires a great deal of manipulation.

Poinsettias originate in Mexico and are named after Joel Poinsett, the first American ambassador to Mexico who brought them back in 1828 to his plantation at Greenville, South Carolina.

He grew them there and gave them as presents to his friends at Christmas time.

After his death on 12 December 1851, this day was named Poinsettia Day in his honour and is celebrated each year in the USA. The Aztecs revered the flowers as a symbol of purity.

The flowers on a poinsettia are actually quite insignificant, small, cream or white and in the centre of the red leaves that we admire.

The colour of these leaves depends on a process called “photoperiodism” meaning the amount of light they receive.

They are triggered to flower by periods of darkness. To produce the brilliant red, they require at least 12 hours of complete darkness each day for about eight weeks as well as a temperature around 15 degrees centigrade so they are placed in completely dark, refrigerated rooms.

Even a little light during this 12-hour period

will upset the process so growers don’t open the door to take a peak.

During the day they must have at least six hours of bright light and a temperature between 16-21 degrees.

To intensify the red, drop the night time temperature to 10 degrees but any lower will cause the leaves to fall.

As you can appreciate they are a very labour intensive crop to grow, however they are the largest flowering plant crop grown in the US with over 63 million grown for sale in pots each year. I couldn’t find a similar statistic for Australia.

In 1925, the poinsettia was chosen as the floral emblem for Brisbane and will grow happily on the coast of Queensland and on coastal NSW at least as far south as Coffs Harbour and further if frost-free.

On the Horticultural Society’s trip to Maleny during June many gardens had them flowering well, but unless you have an extremely wellprotected area they are not recommended for our area as they are very frost tender.

I have been guilty of buying them at this time of the year for use as table centres.

Another plant I purchased one year was a “strawberries and cream” hydrangea but I prefer any number of our beautiful red flowering natives that are out now.

As a child I used to pick bunches of the red and gold Christmas bells that abounded in the area.

My Dad used to tell me of the crates of Christmas bells that were harvested during the second world war and sent by train from the area around Williamtown (Newcastle) aerodrome and sold at the flower markets and on street corners in Sydney.

Also the NSW Christmas bush was another favourite with its bright red flowers.

Plenty of bottlebrush are still flowering now and make a lovely table arrangement. Even red gum tips are for me preferable to following another commercialised American custom.

★★★★★★★★ ★★★★★★★★ ARIES—March 21-April 20 A money making plan is bright, but, but check out the benefits carefully. This could be a romantic week which accents your sentimental side. This is a week of change, from routine to your personality. Just try to keep most things on an even keel.

TAURUS—April 21-May 22 Diplomacy is the keyword this week. Changes in your immediate environment can provide the inspiration you have been seeking. Your career may offer a chance for diversification.

GEMINI—May 23-June 21 Watch a tendency to place a friend on a too high a pedestal. Research and study, including self-study are accented now. Arts and sports are positively spotlighted.

CANCER—June 22-July 22 New strategies require refinement. Neighbours may be unusually curious. You can help a friend overcome a dip in confidence. If travelling, plan a possible change of direction.

LEO—July 23-August 22 Your work mates are impressed with the combination of honesty and tact that you offer. In romance, spontaneity is the all-important word. Around the house, avoid cutting corners.

VIRGO—August 23-September 22 Romantic differences are handled on a level that mixes intellect with emotion. Avoid a tendency to tackle several major chores simultaneously. Creative writing is a present strength.

LIBRA—September 23-October 22

The lovely poinsettia in very popular around Christmas time.

A helpful piece of garden trivia at this time is that fruit flies are short sighted! So if you cover your plants, trees or shrubs with any white netting they see this as flowers and don’t attack the plant.

Even large white mesh will work and will also deter birds and fruit bats from decimating your crops.

Hopefully, by the time you read this, the extreme heat will have gone and we will have had some more rain to revive the garden.

However it is summer and we must expect hot weather, so at this time of the year mulching is very important as it keeps the ground cool and helps reduce the amount of water needed.

Light coloured mulch such as lucerne, pea straw or lupin hay will add nitrogen to your soil and reflect light so reducing the soil temperature by up to 30 per cent as opposed to black or coloured mulch.

Short range career goals appear in view but this is not the week for impatience. Public speaking is a present strength. Don’t underestimate the value of your own advice.

SCORPIO—October 23-November 21 A conflict at work peaks before the situation improves.

This is a good week for persuading your partner to share travel ideas. Be prepared to bend a few rules.Selfimprovement is accented.

SAGITTARIUS—November 22-December 22 Thursday - Saturday is a lively social time. Starting Friday, family pressures demand time and perhaps finances. A conflict with your partner is resolved when you take the initiative.

CAPRICORN—December 23-January 20 Creative projects require additional time for completion, but are worth the effort. A recent romantic alliance is strengthening. Guests surprise and delight you with their frankness.

AQUARIUS—January 21-February 19 A modest romantic triumph is achieved by the weekend.

Financial surprises are of various kinds, but you come out on the credit side of the ledger. Long distance news requires follow-ups.

PISCES—February 20-March 20 This is a great week for making purchases of a practical nature. A new but shaky relationship is stabilizing. Be cautious when making promises. Partnership matters are favourably spotlighted.

BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK You are independent, idealistic and an original thinker.

On the flip side, you can be rebellious and stubborn. Next year should feature travel, perhaps linked with romance.

Domestic obligations are shared and family ties strengthened.

Credit where it’s due WARWICK Credit Union CEO Lewis von Stieglitz was delighted to announce a further $1500 in grants to the Allora community last Wednesday, 30 November.

The funds will be shared by the Allora RSL, the Allora Men’s Shed, the Allora Senior Citizens Association and the catering department of the Allora P-10 State School.

“The Allora community are great supporters of the Warwick Credit Union and we, in turn, are always looking for ways to give back,” Lewis said.

Representatives of the RSL, the men’s shed, the Senior Citizens Association and Allora State School were thrilled to receive the funding boost.

The grant couldn’t have come at a

better time for the Allora Men’s Shed.

Its members are faced with the challenge of building a new shed on a new site so all contributions are more than welcome.

And every year, Year 10 students from Allora P-10 State School visit Canberra to learn about how the government works. The school’s catering students are responsible for fundraising a large proportion of the cost.

“This donation gets our fundraising off to a great start for next year,” said the school’s Robyn Westerman.

Warwick Credit Union has been providing full service branch banking to Allora since 1992.

“We are a local, customer owned institution so profits stay right here in our community,” Lewis said.

Lewis von Stieglitz and staff of the Warwick Credit Union with Stuart Campbell from the men s shed, Joan Barnett from the senior citizens club, Lyn Wright and Kath Turner from Allora RSL, Robyn Westerman and students Amy Harrison, Sophie Otten and Siobhan McEvoy from Allora State School P-10 celebrate the donation of $1500 to Allora community groups.

Local Sport Casey’s tips

�� Connecting people with the sport they love.

Fans are a fickle lot The

spin

Carter Bilborough dodges a ball.

With Casey O’Connor email: wickets-stpe@bigpond.com

SPORTS fans are a fickle lot - after giving our Test side a shellacking for their poor performance against South Africa in the first two Tests, we have been quick to forgive after the Aussies redeemed themselves with a win in the final Test and two comprehensive wins over our Kiwi cousins in the short ODI series.

It has been a good turnaround of form, and we have seen some of the sensational batting we have come to expect from our cricketers.

Steve Smith seems to have found his mojo and is leading well from the front. Seems that once again he can do little wrong and his team mates look to be following his lead. Dave Warner's ton at Manuka Oval on Tuesday night was possibly the most exciting thing to come out of Canberra all year.

All-rounder Mitchell Marsh, who has endured a horror summer including that unbelievable dismissal in the previous ODI, scored a stunning unbeaten 76 off 40 balls, reminding us all of his enormous potential.

There was plenty to like about the performance of the whole team and while “the big show” was sent to the sin bin for talking out of school, the signs look good.

With the Hadlee-Chappell trophy safely in the Aussie’s keeping, thoughts now drift to next week’s day night Test at the Gabba. Support for the concept appears to be good, with tickets sales encouraging for Cricket Australia and the Gabba Trust after last year’s poor attendance.

Lots to like about the new Test format with a beach, a pool and plenty of off field entertainment ensured for patrons.

Although I will be front and centre at the Test, the one thing you won’t see is this columnist donning the budgie smugglers and heading into the pool - and cricket lovers all over the world can all be grateful for that.

- Casey BUSY TIME FOR MALLET PLAYERS FOR those who enjoy Mallet sports, the end of the playing year is approaching almost as quickly as Santa’s sleigh, however mallet players still have some days yet to play. Last week association croquet players Val Shepherd and Pat Schnoor teamed up to play rivals Val Richards and Grace Howard. Schnoor had two breaks of four and a couple of peels and she and her playing partner pegged out to win 29-9.

Margaret Dickenson and Effey Russell also played doubles, their opponents Joy Newman and Andrea Denkewitz. In a very close game, Dickenson and Russell won 23-21. Heather Widderick played Carol Verwey and despite having two breaks of two in her score went down 20-29.

Carol Verwey score included three breaks of two.

Organisers of golf croquet were forced to think outside the square and try something a little different last week. With an odd number of players in the first round, three players played singles against each other while the remainder played the usual two groups of doubles.

In the singles games, the top scorer was Judy Lock with seven. Opponents John Castles (4) and Shirley Page (5) were not too far away.

In other games, Val Fancourt and Justin Liddy had a 13-5 win over Teresa Pyne and Bev Sullivan. Liddy looked to be striking the balls well as he topped the scoring with eight. Liz Ellway and Dianne Wren (13) were too strong for an out of sorts Elaine Brown and Marian Castles (3).

Dianne Wren top scored in this game with seven while her partner was also in good form also scoring six.

The second session saw a hoop scored in a game where John Castles and his partner Val Fancourt defeated Dianne Wren and Judy Lock 12 - 9. Justin Liddy played two balls against Shirley

Lachlan Gross blocks a ball delivered by Ross Lumpton.

Page and Bev Sullivan teamed up to play Justin Liddy (playing two balls) and had a narrow 13 - 11. In this game, Sullivan top scored. In the final game, Teresa Pyne and Elaine Brown had a convincing 13-7 win over Marian Castles and Liz Ellway. Top scoring in this gem was Elaine Brown.

There was a large turnout for gateball games on Friday despite the predicted high temperatures.

Andrea Denkewitz refereed the first two games in which Margaret Dickenson captained the White team of Les Williams, Bill Golding, and Carol Verwey and Effey Russell. Leading the Red team of Joy Newman, John Draper, Heather Widderick and Jenny Tunbridge was cptain Val Fancourt.

The White team notched up two wins, the first 11-8 and followed that with a 13-8 win. Following the break, John Draper took over the refereeing duties and Andrea Denkewitz replaced him in the red team. Game three saw another win to the White Team who looked to be in great form and took out the game 15-8.

FOOTBALL 2017 GOOD TO GO THE football season for 2017 in Warwick is as-

Andrew Mauch of the Warwick Clay Target Club picture shooting from his specially modified wheel chair picked up two of the club’s perpetual trophies. sured after a new committee was elected by the Warwick District Football Association on Monday night.

Fears were building that both the junior and senior season for 2017 might not go ahead with the previous committee bowing out after years of dedicated service to football in Warwick and a lack of nominations to replace them.

The WDFA held its AGM at Char-Belas Restaurant on Monday night, 5 December, with the new committee comprising president Karen Welsh, vice-president Luke Duff, secretary Mark Brunt, treasurer Jade Shanks, sponsorship co-ordinator Amanda Watts and registrar Jeremy Sollars.

Outgoing WDFA vice-president Paul Butler said he and the other 2016 committee members were pleased with the new committee line-up.

“We’re very thankful that football in Warwick is going ahead for 2017 and beyond,” he said.

“The outgoing committee have done a lot of hard work to grow the club and create a good culture, and it’s pleasing to know that growth will continue.

“I’d like to pay a particular tribute to outgoing president Garry Spence - he has served the club for the last six years in a number of different positions, his contribution has been enormous."

Other outgoing committee members include

secretary Ange Goodwin, treasurer Hayley Cooper, registrar Scott Clegg and sponsorship co-ordinator Rebecca Butler.

The WDFA is now looking for a senior men’s and senior women’s coach and a senior football co-ordinator for the 2017 season.

Other positions which also require filling before the start of the 2017 season include a grants co-ordinator and an assistant registrar.

Anyone interested in these roles could contact Karen Welsh on 0429 335 573.

TESTING CONDITIONS SHOOTERS at Inglewood’s Clay Target shoot had to contend with fine and humid conditions last weekend, but neither the 40 degree heat nor the flies and there were plenty of those seemed to deter the eager beavers.

Experienced shooter Tom Donald likened trying to look through a fly net at the targets which seemed to slow down in the humid air as akin to using pinhole reading glasses. It must be something he practices on a regular basis as he still managed to take out the event defeating Richard Roese and Michael Dudgeon.

A reminder that this Saturday the club is holding an open day with all visitors welcome to try a shot or two from a variety of firearms. Sunday the club is holding the Christmas novelty shoot and party.

Local Sport MUG OF MUGS AND MONTHLY MEDAL DECIDED MEMBERS of the Wallangarra Golf Club played the December Monthly Medal and Putting Round on 3 December. The event and the Mug of Mugs were sponsored by the Wallangarra railway station.

M. Ellis claimed the final 2016 Monthly Medal with an impressive 65 nett. Gary Sutcliffe was the runner-up and shared the pin shots with T. Murphy. K Williams had his flat stick running hot and took out the putting prize. After a consistent year, T. Murphy took out the Mug of Mugs.

This weekend, golfers will be playing a single stableford competition for the Paul Hampstead Memorial trophy.

A reminder that a general meeting will be at 10am prior to tee off and the club would like to see a good roll up of members for this meeting.

GOOD TURN OUT FOR WARWICK CLAY SHOOT THE Warwick Clay Target Club shoot on Sunday was well supported. Despite the intense heat a field of 56 shooters took part. One person who shoots on a regular basis is Andrew Mauch.

Mauch has been a regular competitor for the past 25 years. Despite being born with spina bifida, Mauch, who was introduced to the sport in his early twenties, shoots from his modified wheelchair. His participation in the sport was made possible at the outset by the donation and modification of his shooting chair by Michael and Carolyn Loy. It has certainly paid off for Andrew who collected two of the club’s perpetual trophies the Don Cameron Annual Double Barrel and Alex H. Smith Memorial Handicap trophies at Sunday’s meet. It capped off a great day for the inspirational shooter who also tied with Aaron Lawlor in the B grade competition with a score of 82/90.

Results of the shoot: 30 Targets Double Barrel: AA: Dan Johnson 39/39, J. Lee 39/39; A: Ray Potter 54/54, David Cox 53/54; B: Tom Ham 30/30, Ken Ashton 37/41; C: Mick Lawlor 28/31, Paul Reid 28/31.

30 Targets Mixed: AA: Ross Bartley 30/30, Dan Johnson 30/30; A: Terry Shelton 29/30, David Cox 38/40; B: Tom Ham 29/30, Aaron Lawlor 37/40; C: Paul Reid 29/30, Jason Austin 28/30.

Noah McKenzie watches the flight of the ball closely while at the other end batting partner Rohan Brady prepares for a quick run in the Intermediate T20 Blast game on Sheahan Oval. Ryan Hinze is the bowler.

Young cricketers Cohen and Brianna Anderson were awestruck when met Brisbane Heat Mascot, the aptly named Heater with their father Damien (Valley’s captain).

Valleys and Souths have been the two form teams of the competition again this season, and on Saturday went head to head in a thriller which came down to the final ball of the game.

Souths captain Ben Staley certainly played a captain’s knock. His side required two runs from the last ball of the innings to secure a nail-biting win and the captain delivered.

It was a game where all players from both side contributed to their team performance whether with the bat or the ball.

In the other fixture game, things were much more one sided as RSL posted a big win over Tenterfield. Chasing only a mediocre total of 85, RSL picked up two bonus points when they passed the required total in less than 10 overs.

Sam Dowie was in good touch and remained unbeaten on 55 at the end of the game. Luke Brady (25) also batted well.

HONOURS SHARED IN REP GAMES WEATHER conditions were almost as severe for cricketers on Sunday when Warwick and Stanthorpe went head to head in the Mitchell and Davis Shield games played in Warwick.

In the Mitchell Shield game, Warwick posted a score of 238 for Stanthorpe to chase but thanks to some good performances from the Stanthorpe batsmen the visitors were able to run down the total to claim a three-wicket win.

One of the highlights of the game was Warwick batsman Lachlan Gross’ maiden century.

Warwick players believe it was the first century scored by any Mitchell Shield player for about eight years Warwick claimed the bragging rights in the Davis Shield game with a comfortable 74-run win after setting their opponents another big run chase.

T20 FIXTURES IN WARWICK WITH Rep games scheduled for Sunday, T20 games were played in Warwick last weekend.

At Mayhew Oval, Rascals set Colts a run chase of 86, but Colts were all out for 81. Tom Morris bowled well taking five wickets in the game.

At Slade, Maryvale Condamine played Redbacks and posted a comfortable win after setting a Redbacks a target of 157. Pat Bourke (54) top scored for Maryvale. In reply, Redbacks were out for 100.

Wheatvale and Sovereign Animals also played at Mayhew and set up a win after scoring 152 runs for the loss of only three wickets. Mainstays of this innings were Carter Bilbrough (57) and Chris Cantwell (62no). Bilbrough also took two wickets as Sovereign Animals finished well short of the total on 118.

Maryvale and Colts head the Condamine Cup Points table with 30 points followed by Wheatvale and Inglewood on 22 points. Allora and Redbacks each have 18 points with Allora Rascals on 11 and Sovereign Animals on 7

STEKETEE EARNS CA XI CALL UP THE credentials of Warwick quick Mark Steketee have not gone unnoticed by Australian Cricket selectors. Steketee has been selected in a Cricket Australia XI brimming with players identified as emerging talents to play Pakistan in a three day game at Cazaly’s Oval in Cairns as the visitors prepare for the Gabba Test.

He joins fellow Queenslander Jimmy Pierson in the CA XI. It is another string to Steketee’s selection bow coming shortly after he was selected in the Queensland Bulls Sheffield Shield Side to play WA. CRAZY CRICKETERS THEY say only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid-day sun, however crazy cricketers should probably be added to that list after last weekend.
