MORE TO LOVE The editor’s desk It is disappointing to report this week that a long-standing farming family at Allora has walked away from a feedlot they had proposed, due primarily to legal costs (see story on pages 6 and 7). Layton and Sharalyn Free had their plan knocked back by the Southern Downs Regional Council in August last year - in a confidential meeting session - and they lodged a court appeal against the refusal. But the legal costs - not to mention the emotional battle they've been fighting - became too much and they withdrew their appeal in June. The council's double standards on intensive animal industries are breathtaking - councillors approved a poultry farm at Freestone at the same meeting last August which was much closer to neighbours than the Frees' feedlot would have been. And they also earlier approved the massive Darwalla chicken hatchery just outside Allora, right on the Dalrymple Creek floodplain. Perhaps it's not so much double standards as a lack of consistency one gets the strong feeling the council is clueless on these matters. Either way, the mixed messages to our region's farming sector need to stop - producers' livelihoods are being placed at enormous risk as a result of this contradictory approach. Jeremy Sollars

FIGHT ON TO SAVE KARARA VILLAGE’S WATER DELIVERY BY JEREMY SOLLARS Karara residents are lobbying the Southern Downs Regional Council in a bid to continue receiving water from Canal Creek through a council-operated system. Southern Downs councillors voted in a confidential session of last week's June general meeting to cut off the water supply to the small village west of Warwick, giving residents a month's notice. No reason was stated in the minutes of last week's meeting but it is understood the council surveyed residents six months ago and claims the majority are not using the water, which is not suitable for drinking.

The council will give each of the town's 11 residences connected to the supply a free 5000 gallon water tank and will provide a free once-off fill, and donate Karara's water system to the local Rural Fire Brigade. The system pumps from Canal Creek to an elevated header tank and the water is gravity-fed to local homes, costing residents around $800 each per year. Resident Ray Walker for one values the water supply, which he uses to maintain his lawns and vegetable gardens, and says he's not the only one who uses the water on a regular basis. "The cost of the chemicals the council

uses to treat the water would be next to nothing - they'd be making money out of the system through our water rates," Ray told the Free Times this week. "It's just handy to have an extra supply of water, particularly with how dry it is at the moment." Tracey Long said all the residents wanted the council to do was to install a floating foot valve in the creek to minimise mud and debris in the system. She said a letter is circulating among Karara residents which is intended to be forwarded to the council, asking for the decision to cut the water off to be reversed. ●

SOLAR FARM LATE CHANGES VOTED THROUGH Southern Downs councillors last week voted at their June general meeting in favour of extending the potential life of a new solar farm approved for Sladevale north of Warwick to 30 years. The request for the extension by developers Terrain Solar was made after the overall project was approved by councillors at an earlier special meeting to decide the solar farm, held on Wednesday 6 June. The same day the Free Times revealed online that a deal had been done between Terrain Solar and the University of Queensland for the university to take over the solar farm at the start of construction. Councillors at the special meeting held on

Wednesday 6 June voted narrowly in favour of the plan by Terrain Solar to develop the 300-acre solar farm on land bounded by Gleeson, Jensen, Robinson and Freestone Roads, consisting of 250,000 solar panels. At the special meeting councillors approved a maximum 25-year lifespan for the solar, but Terrain Solar since requested this be extended to 30 years, voted through at last week's general meeting by Mayor Tracy Dobie and all councillors, with the exception of Cr Vic Pennisi. Voting in favour of the application by Terrain Solar at the special meeting on 6 June were Mayor Dobie, Deputy Mayor Jo McNally and Councillors Yve Stocks, Rod Kelly and Sheryl Windle. Those in the 'no' camp were Councillors

Vic Pennisi, Cameron Gow, Marika McNichol and Neil Meikejohn. Residents had previously voiced concerns about a lack of time and a lack of expertise on the part of council's planning staff to properly examine the likely impacts of the development. Also chief among their concerns are the visual impact of 250,000 solar panels in the Sladevale valley - also known as Campbells Plains - and the loss of prime agricultural land. The University of Queensland has refused to disclose to the Free Times details of its negotiations with both Terrain Solar and the Southern Downs Regional Council prior to the special meeting which approved the solar farm. We have lodged a Right To Information request with the university seeking documents relating to the negotiations. ●

EXTRA FUNDING FOR NEW MEMORIAL Maranoa MP David Littleproud has applauded the Southern Downs' community spirit as a project was successful in securing Federal Government funding to honour local service and sacrifice for our nation during World War One. "Under the Armistice Centenary Grants Program, the Warwick Community Development ANZAC Memorial Committee will receive a grant to ensure we honour our military history in ways that are meaningful to our community," Mr Littleproud said. "The Warwick Community Development ANZAC Memorial Committee will use $9900 in funding to construct a campaign honour wall and dais in Leslie Park, Warwick. "I know a lot of research has gone into this project and I congratulate the committee for their commitment to honouring local servicemen to ensure those who have served and sacrificed will never be forgotten." Under the Armistice Centenary Grants Program, every electorate in Australia will receive up to $50,000 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armistice of the First World War. The new honour wall and dais will be installed near the existing Leslie Park Cenotaph and as well as honouring veterans from every conflict in which Australians have served, will provide a permanent platform for dignitaries during commemorations such as Anzac Day and Remembrance Day. The structures are planned to be in place by Remembrance Day this year, Sunday 11 November. ●

BUSHFIRE SEASON

NOW LOOMING Deputy Group Officer for the Warwick Rural Fire Service Group Alan Payne says volunteer crews are "on notice" for bushfire activity.

2023CS

he region's volunteer firefighters are on ultra-high alert with bushfire season tipped to arrive even earlier than usual in 2018. The driest conditions since the mid-1960s mean country across the Southern Downs and Granite Belt districts is primed and ready to burn - and rural residents and those living near bushland are being warned to take steps to prepare for the worst, should it eventuate. The Darling Downs - and Warwick and Stanthorpe in particular - is Queensland's biggest bushfire 'hotspot' this year and local volunteer brigades are leaving nothing to chance as August - the 'official' start of bushfire season - looms near. Queensland Fire and Emergency Services Minister Craig Crawford this week said the Warwick and Stanthorpe areas had been identified as high-risk areas in the region. "Since April there have already been about 230 bushfires in south-west

Queensland, the majority of these have been in the Darling Downs," Mr Crawford said. "This is abnormally high and has almost surpassed last year's bushfire season's numbers. The bushfire season doesn't officially begin until August in the southwest. "The risk is very real, so it's imperative that residents begin their bushfire preparations now ahead of the start of bushfire season." The warning comes as figures released recently reveal the Darling Downs also ranked first for Queensland's top bushfire hotspot in the 2017 season, with about 280 incidents. The list compared the number of bushfires by the season across all 17 Rural Fire Service (RFS) commands in the Sunshine State. "The Darling Downs region has seen more than 1100 bushfires in the last four bushfire seasons and has been in the top five regions for bushfires every year since 2014,"

LOCAL CREWS "ON NOTICE" ... Alan Payne knows all too well the risks posed by bushfire to life and property. He's the Deputy Group Officer for the Warwick Rural Fire Service Group and First Officer of the Freestone brigade north-east of Warwick. "I'd certainly agree that Warwick and Stanthorpe are the hot areas at the moment, I'd really support that," he told the Free Times this week. "We're looking at the bushfire season starting early this year, at the end of July, certainly before August. "We are ready and on alert right now we've had a few grass fires in recent weeks that have run strongly, so we're on notice. "The fuel load is massive - there's a lot of paddocks where people have de-stocked cattle and so they're just full of dry grass.

Mr Crawford said. Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) Assistant Commissioner Stephen Smith said crews had recently battled significant bushfires at Ballandean, Dalveen and Yarraman. "The number of bushfires experienced in the Darling Downs during last year's bushfire season shows that residents must be proactive to curb the threat on their properties," Mr Smith said. "QFES is undertaking a number of hazard reduction activities as part of Operation Cool Burn, but bushfire mitigation is a community effort. "Residents should finalise preparations by raking up and removing leaves, clearing gutters, keeping lawns short, putting in fire breaks and moving flammable items away from homes and sheds. "If they haven't already, residents should create a fire management plan and Bushfire Survival Plan." For more information on bushfire

Prepare or update your bushfire survival plan - now. "The sub-soil moisture is virtually gone in most places so that helps to make it incredibly dry and that's a bad sign for us." Alan said residents in rural areas particularly in higher timbered country - still have a "window of opportunity" to do some hazard reduction burning in the next couple of weeks. But he said it's vital to speak to your local Fire Warden before you do anything. "There is still a bit of time to do some hazard reduction, such as creating fire breaks around exposed structures," he said. "We've been doing some controlled burns in the timbered country around Freestone and Maryvale of late, which people may have seen. "But for residents your Fire Warden is the first line of call." Alan said low water levels in local creeks for rural fire crews to draw from when fighting a fire are a concern. "Our water points are definitely a worry," he said. "But we get a lot of assistance from the council with water tankers and also graders - they back us up brilliantly. "Our volunteers are ready to go - we've

been keeping our training up over the past few months and we're fortunate that the State Government is supporting us with new equipment and upgraded vehicles and so on." And Alan has a stern warning for anyone who feels like doing a spot of sight-seeing when a burn fires up. "Just stay away," he says bluntly. "People who come and have a look at a fire are putting themselves and our brigades in danger. "They just don't realise how quickly a fire can change direction and the whole situation deteriorates." ●

HIGH ALERT ACROSS STATE Fire and Emergency Services Minister Craig Crawford said this week dry conditions in known bushfire hotspots across the state have increased the threat of fires starting and spreading. "In the south-east for example, Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) crews have responded to several fast-running grass fires in recent weeks, including at Boonah, the Lockyer Valley and Beaudesert," Mr Crawford said.

"QFES has identified these areas, along with Ipswich and the Somerset regions, as a few of this season's key areas of concern. "Other areas include the Sunshine Coast, Burnett, Gladstone, Townsville and central and western parts of the Cape. "It is essential the community works with QFES and other local agencies now to identify areas of concern and remove potential threats." Mr Crawford said QFES' firefighting efforts had been bolstered ahead of the 2018 season through additional resources, including new appliances. "More than 100 new appliances have been delivered statewide to QFES including about 60 to the Rural Fire Service (RFS) - under the Palaszczuk Government's capital works program for 2017-18," Mr Crawford said. "We will continue to build on this momentum, with $44.3 million committed in our record 2018-19 QFES Budget for the replacement and delivery of another 180 new urban and rural vehicles. "These additions to our fleet feature the latest technology and ensure our dedicated firefighters have the best equipment and

vehicles to respond to bushfires and protect their communities." ●

"This was never just about a feedlot what we were trying to do was simply create an opportunity for the future," he told the Free Times. "We're going to have to sit down now as a family and have a break and think about where we go from here. "Agriculture has changed hugely in the last few decades - there's been a major shift towards intensive animal industries. "If we all continued to farm the way our parents and grandparents did it just wouldn't be viable. "When I took over the farm in the early 1990's we were predominantly graingrowers and we were fattening cattle, but the business enterprise has changed since then. "You have to change and you have to evolve. "I'd love to sit on the veranda and watch the cattle graze but it just isn't viable these days as a business model in agriculture." The Frees found it hard enough to get council approval a decade ago for a small, 250-head feedlot on their property and had expected objections from neighbours on the larger one. But Layton says with the new feedlot to have been built "in the middle of a 1000acre paddock" impacts on neighbours would have been all but nil.

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS ... Layton Free also remains bitter about

the way the councillors decided on his application last August - behind closed doors, with no reason given on the meeting agenda for the confidentiality, as required under local government rules. "I'd gone in there to sit in on the meeting and (council staff) had told me roughly what time to be there," Layton said. "So I get there and the CEO comes over and says it's going to be discussed 'in camera'. "I asked him what that meant and he said in a confidential session and 'there's no point in you being here'. "The council are prepared to put their hands out and take your rates but they're not prepared to support a farming business - a legitimate agricultural pursuit in a feedlot in a predominantly agricultural area. "They don't want this kind of industry in this shire - in the heart of the Darling Downs." Layton and Sharalyn invited Mayor Tracy Dobie and the councillors to inspect the proposed feedlot site while the application was being assessed by council officers, with Cr Dobie and a number of councillors visiting, but not all. "We showed them a business proposal with figures demonstrating how un-viable this business is going to be in the next 20 years if we just keep on doing what we've always done," he said.

12337171-EPJ03-17

A sixth-generation farming family has been forced to drop a court action against the Southern Downs Regional Council's refusal of their proposed feedlot due to the financial and emotional cost they have endured in recent months. Layton and Sharalyn Free first applied to the council in late 2016 to establish a 3150-head cattle feedlot on their property 'Colliery Park' near Allora on Warfield's Road, close to the boundary of the Southern Downs and Toowoomba Regional Council areas. The application later went on public display and many neighbouring and nearby property owners - many of whom are rural 'lifestyle' residents - objected to the feedlot, with concerns including water supply and potential odour and noise impacts. Submitters also included the Clifton Landcare Group and the Toowoomba Regional Council, the latter having concerns over the possible need for road upgrades on its side of the council boundary. In total 53 submissions were made by the public on the plan. The application was eventually voted on by Southern Downs councillors in a confidential session at their meeting in August 2017, with none of the councillors voting against a recommendation by the council's planning department that the feedlot be refused. Reasons given for refusal included an

incompatibility with the 'Basalt Quality Grazing Precinct' provisions in the region's planning scheme, the size of the feedlot, odour effects on residential land uses in the area and insufficient truck access. The Frees soon after lodged an appeal against the refusal in the Planning and Environment Court of Queensland, but on Friday 15 June they formally discontinued the court action. Layton Free told the Free Times this week the financial - and psychological - cost of the court battle had become too much for himself and his family and they made "a business decision" to pull out. Bitterly disappointed and angry, he said the whole process had been "hard on the business and the family", who felt they had no choice but to drop the legal appeal, lamenting "all the money we've spent just to get nowhere". The Free family have farmed grain and cattle in their district since 1860 and Layton was named 'Young Queensland Farmer of the Year' back in 2001 and national runnerup the same year. He and Sharalyn have four children aged between 21 and 12 - who up until now had seen themselves with a future in the family farming business on 'Colliery Park' and their home property 'Rockbrae'. With the feedlot having been intended to improve the viability of their operation and extend its longevity, Layton is now questioning his family's long-term future in agriculture.

The Free family of Allora has questioned the council's support for new farming enterprises.

DOUBLE STANDARDS? The Frees' feedlot was refused by the

council at the same meeting as councillors approved a free-range egg farm on Jack Smith Gully Road at Freestone, despite objections from much-closer neighbours than the Frees' around noise and odour. The nearest neighbours in the end bought the property proposed for the egg farm themselves to prevent it from going ahead. Councillors at the same meeting also voted to extend the operating approval for a feedlot run by the Burge Pastoral Group on

Tudor Valley Road at Allora for two years. Layton Free has also pointed to the council's earlier approval of an 800,000 chick hatching facility given to meat chicken giant Darwalla close to Dalrymple Creek just outside the Allora township, saying it's an example of their contradictory decisionmaking on intensive animal industries.

BUTCHERS GO OLD SCHOOL POST PLASTIC THE NITTY-GRITTY OF THE BAG BAN ...

BY JEREMY SOLLARS Queensland's plastic bag ban is in its first week, with single-use bags banned from last Sunday 1 July. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says it will help the environment and marine life such as turtles and marine birds in particular. The premier has said an estimated one billion single-use lightweight plastic shopping bags were used in Queensland each year prior to the ban, and while the majority end up in landfill around 16 million plastic shopping bags are claimed to have ended up in the environment in Queensland each year. The ban applies to all retail outlets - not just the major supermarkets and retailers and locally-owned small businesses ensured they were prepared for the transition. Ross and Trish Bell of Warwick's Bell's Butchery decided to go 'old school' and are packing their customers' purchases in old-fashioned paper bags which they're not charging for. "We had the option of going for the thicker re-useable plastic bags but to me these will be even worse for the environment as they'll take longer to break down if they're thrown out," Ross said this week. "Plus with meat, if you get blood inside plastic bags of any kind they're not really able to be re-used. "We decided paper was the way to go -

Any retailer found to be supplying the banned single-use plastic bags - those less than 35 microns in thickness - can be fined up to $6,300. Shoppers must now bring their own bags shopping with them - such as re-useable 'green bags' - or purchase approved reuseable plastic bags from retailers. Bags not banned ... · Barrier bags for unpackaged perishable food such as fruit, vegetables, meat and fish · Bin liners and garbage bags · Single-use heavy weight department store plastic bags · Plastic nappy bags · 'Dog poo' bags ●

Ross and Trish Bell's paper bags come in a variety of sizes.

SUGGESTED ALTERNATIVES TO SINGLE-USE PLASTIC BAGS ...

it's better for the environment and for us. "And we're not charging for the bags why should you have to pay for something you're using to carry your shopping in? "The supermarkets are going to be making money out of re-useable plastic bags." Trish Bell said the response so far to the paper bags from their customers had been positive.

Reusable 'green' bags Reusable hessian bags Reusable freezer or 'cold' bags String bags Cotton bags Heavy-duty plastic bags designed for reuse or multiple uses Retailers seeking more information should visit www.qldbagban.com.au or call the National Retail Association's Retail Hotline on 1800 RETAIL (738 245). ●

"A lot of them have said it's like going back to the old days," Trish laughed. "From what I can see most of the smaller businesses around town aren't going to charge for bags. "We never have and we never will." Like other butchers and fresh food retailers the Bells continue to use thin plastic 'barrier bags' for individual food items. ●

MERGER "AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY" Gympie and Warwick Credit Unions are proposing to merge subject to member and regulatory consultation and approval, it has been announced. A statement released by Warwick Credit Union this week says the combined organisation "will offer a broader range of products and services for its members and communities while ensuring that investment and profits stay local", and there will be no job losses or branch closures. "The proposed merger is a great way to protect and enhance the combined history of almost 100 years of commitment to our customers, our communities and the customer-owned banking model,' said Warwick Credit Union board chairman Ross Fraser. Gympie Credit Union chairman Damien Perissinotto said the business welcomed "the opportunity to offer a wider range of savings, loans and everyday banking products in the Gympie area, to continue to trade under the Gympie Credit Union name and gain access to advanced systems technology". "At the same time we will be continuing the member focused model which is so important to us," Mr Perissinotto said. Warwick Credit Union chief executive officer Lewis von Stieglitz said he and Gympie manager Sheryl Hern will be talking to members and the two communities "about this exciting opportunity".

"Gympie and Warwick have similar brands and culture which is tremendously beneficial," he said. "We are committed to ensuring the process is smooth and inclusive and that the benefits of this partnership are well understood." Lewis said the Gympie Credit Union had approached its larger Warwick counterpart to propose the merger, to bolster the Gympie businesses' long-term future, with both communities sharing a similar regional and rural background. "For Warwick Credit Union members it's simply business as usual - there won't be any name changes," he said. "Our members will still enjoy the personal service they receive with us - one of our strengths is that when you ring up you speak to a local person." Ross Fraser agreed, emphasising that "decisions are made here", unlike the 'big' banks where decisions on loans and other matters are made long-distance. Lewis said the credit union was confident of picking up new members and business in the wake of the Banking Royal Commission, which has exposed some of the questionable practices of the nation’s ‘big banks’. “It’s not going to happen overnight,” he said. “But I think when people come to revise their home loan interest rates which they do on a regular basis we’ll see new members and new business coming through the doors.” ●

NEWS GAME FOR THE MEAT Southern Downs councillors voted at their June general meeting last week to further consider a development application for a motor vehicle workshop and game meat storage facility on the Cunningham Highway at Rosenthal Heights at their July meeting. Council’s planning officers had recommended that councillors refuse the application by Lucas Riley for the site at 14135 Cunningham Highway, on the grounds that it did not comply with the planning scheme’s Rural Zone Code and Industry Uses Code. A report to councillors said that

commercial activities on the site had commenced without approval and local residents had lodged objections. Councillors at last week’s meeting voted to approve a development application from Murray and Cheryl Sondergeld for a spray painting and sand blasting operation at Swan Creek School Road at Swan Creek. ●

Dewitt Pty Ltd. ● They also approved the purchase of a second-hand asphalt tipper and loader with an additive distributor from Rural Road Repairs, and approved new 10 year leases for the Allora Show Society, Eastern Suburbs Junior Rugby League, the Warwick and District Lapidary Club and the Warwick City Band. ●

MULCHING CONTRACT

BANKING ON HELP

In a confidential session of the June Council meeting last month councillors voted to award a contract for mulching of green waste and timber waste at the council’s waste facilities to James

Minister for Agriculture and Maranoa MP David Littleproud has called on the big banks to help farmers manage drought and tough times by offering offset accounts for Farm Management

Deposits. FMDs allow farmers to remove money from their taxable income in good years by depositing it into an FMD account. They can withdraw the money during a bad year and pay tax on the withdrawal then. “The Coalition Government increased the cap on FMD accounts from $400,000 to $800,000 in 2016,” Mr Littleproud said. “We also allowed banks to give farmers the chance to use their FMD to offset interest on their loans, the same as a home loan often has an everyday offset account which offsets interest from the home loan. “However no big bank has taken the opportunity. “This is a chance for the big banks to regain their standing in the community following evidence in the Royal Commission. “The big banks have been able to provide these FMD offsets since 2016, and time’s up. “The big banks need to right their wrongs. Our banks should back our farmers. “The only bank to have gotten on board FMD offset accounts is the Rural Bank and I applaud them for it.” ●

REDBACKS BALL The Warwick Redbacks AFL club will hold a Community Ball and Charity Auction at the Warwick Town Hall next Saturday 14 July to raise money for local youth support service headspace.

NEW WINTER FESTIVAL COMP Warwick's 2018 Jumpers and Jazz in July Festival will hold its first ever 'Business Window Competition' this year - and there's some great prizes up for grabs for the winners. Jumpers and Jazz organising committee member Clare McHugh Von Stieglitz said the rules are simple. "Please decorate a window to promote Jumpers and Jazz," she said. "You can use traditional textiles or be inventive with recycled materials. "Keep business promotional materials to a minimum - for instance 'My Dress Shop welcomes Jumpers and Jazz!' is fine, but a display of only 'My Dress Shop' sale items is not. "Windows will need to be completed by Wednesday 18th July and also consider borrowing an empty business window." Prizes include two nights for two adults and two children at Girraween Environmental Lodge valued at $620, along with $100 and a wicker picnic set donated by the Warwick Credit Union. To enter, please email jumpersinjazzinjuly@gmail.com with Business Window competition in the subject line, and leave your business name, window location address and contact details. About Jumpers and Jazz ... The festival was initially created as a positive community response to a major CBD streetscaping project of Warwick.

The inaugural Jumpers & Jazz in July (JJJ) festival was staged in 2004 as an initiative of the Warwick Art Gallery, with its primary program elements being Jumpers on Trees, and a Jazz program of events. In 2007 an organising committee was formed developing a partnership of Warwick Art Gallery and Warwick Tourism & Event Pty Ltd. This was a very successful partnership as the Tourism entity at the time saw the huge benefits to region in attracting tourist to the region in what would have otherwise been a quiet time of the year. In 2017 Jumpers and Jazz was been handed back to the community of Warwick and surrounding areas to support the future development of the festival. Jumpers and Jazz in July Inc was created as a not for profit incorporated association in December 2016. More than a decade since the inaugural event, visitor numbers have risen steadily year on year, with particular growth from regional visitors within a 400km radius. The total visitation of 34,000 is a significant attendance number for many events, but it’s particularly significant in this location as it exceeds the resident population of its host town Warwick, which is approximately 13,500 people.

The plastic shopping bag ban applies to all retailers in Queensland for in-store and online sales, as of last Sunday. The Waste Reduction and Recycling Amendment Act 2017 defines a retailer as "a person who sells goods in trade or commerce". Supermarkets, greengrocers, bakeries, chemists, restaurants and clothes stores, as well as market-stall holders and organisations which supply plastic shopping bags, are included in the ban. Under the ban, retailers are no longer allowed to supply shoppers with single-use lightweight plastic shopping bags under 35 microns, for free or at a charge. This includes compostable, degradable and biodegradable plastic shopping bags. Retailers may choose to provide and charge for alternative bags, which can

HERBS ARE BOTH USEFUL AND FRESH

Handy herbs - a great addition to any garden. any of the mint varieties as they can take over to the exclusion of all else and be very hard to eradicate. I have thyme, chives, sage, perennial basil, mint and lemon balm (in containers!), oregano, marjoram and, of course, the indispensable parsley, both curly and flat leaved varieties. One of the best garden displays I have seen was during the Toowoomba flower carnival and it was a bed planted in a chevron pattern with curly leafed parsley and yellow and orange African marigolds absolutely stunning. Sage comes in a variety of types, some with variegated leaves and some with different tastes - one of my favourites is

pineapple sage with a distinctive, very pineapple smell to the leaves when they are crushed or brushed against - a wonderful addition to a sensory garden. It is a hardy Mediterranean herb suited to most climates but preferring full sun and well drained, not-too-fertile soil, as it grows readily in the rocky soil of Mediterranean areas. They are relatively pest and disease free and do really well in pots, so you can move them around and enjoy the smell of the leaves. They are a perennial but can become a bit woody and straggly so it's good to replace them every four or five years. When you've picked the leaves they can be left to dry in a warm, shady, moisture-free place.

If you have a suitable place in your kitchen they can be hung in bunches and you will enjoy the aroma. Oregano is another favourite because it is easy to grow and is a 'living weed mat', spreading over an area quickly and suppressing everything else. In another garden I had the golden form and it looked really good tumbling down a rocky bank. It does require more water than some of the other herbs and must have good drainage. The flavour of oregano is more concentrated when dried but adds great flavour when used fresh. It is another terrific addition to a garden or in a pot so it can be moved around. Remembering to dead-head your plant after flowering - this will keep it growing well and increase the harvest. I never bother to dry it only picking it fresh as required. Remember the Garden Extravaganza in St Mary's Hall in Wood Street on Tuesday 24 and Wednesday 25 July. There will be a great range of stalls to tempt you and to learn about all things gardening. Hearty home-made soups and crusty bread will be available for lunch and Devonshire teas and tasty treats for morning and afternoon teas. Speciality barista coffees will also be available this time.

I've been out into some beautiful country travelling again lately but I am very sad at the current state of the drought and the desperate situation of our wonderful country. Where I am now my friends are cutting scrub and feeding cotton seed to keep stock alive. It is distressing to see the domestic and native animals in such an awful state with no feed. Farmers are very definitely a special type of person to be able to cope with these extended drought times. I saw some ideas for the use of succulents the other day and it reminded me of some I saw at a garden expo in Perth some years ago. I may try at least one of these in the next month. I have a cone shape and will line it with weed matting or sphagnum moss and pack it with potting mix. The idea then is to put a piece of board or heavy plastic across it, turn it upside down and plant it up with assorted succulents. Rosette succulents such as Echeveria and Sempervivum look especially good. If you are a bit particular about your colour choices, by Christmas time you will have a living tree that needs no decorating. Among the many things I like to grow are a variety of herbs as they are generally hardy and useful in the kitchen but also decorative in the garden. Some, like golden oregano and many varieties of thyme, make great ground covers. Mints are wonderful, requiring little attention other than water and coming in a variety of flavours, even chocolate and eau de cologne, but be careful where you plant

THE SPIN

JUNIOR GOLFER HEADS TO VEGAS In just a little over 10 days time promising Stanthorpe Junior golfer Billy Webb and Dad Glen will head to the US joining the Australian Junior Golf Team in LA. The cream of young golfers from 6 -18 years will be competing in World Stars of Junior Golf in Las Vegas and the West Coast AAU Junior Olympic Games Golf Championship at Temecula, Southern California. I caught up with Billy and his parent Glen and Louise at Sunday Sporters in Stanthorpe as the golf community rallied behind another successful fund raiser. The community support for this young man, who only took up the game less than two year ago, has been outstanding and his family are full of praise, not just for the golfing fraternity but to the entire Granite Belt community who have got right behind Billy's impressive swing. Like most 13 year olds this young man is short on words and is according to family a little overwhelmed by all the attention. He was however quick to name Jason Day as the golfer he most admires while admonishing himself for the way he was playing on Sunday morning. Truth be told I know plenty of adults who would love to have a swing as sweet as Billy's or be able to drive a ball as well. On Sunday he was playing with two of the district's top female golfers, his proud grandmother, Kay couple of hits to get the ball as far as he did off the tee. After the long flight from Brisbane via NZ, the first stop for the Webbs will be Las Vegas where Billy will join players from over 50 countries in a variety of events compete TPC Las Vegas, and Angel Park Golf Club including a Par Three comp under lights and a nine-hole putting competition. After a few days to take in some sightseeing Webb, his father and the Aussie team will head to Temecula in Southern California for the West Coast AAU Junior Olympic Games Golf Championship. Young Webb may be a little tight-lipped about the trip but he is very aware of the amazing opportunity and the honour to represent his country. Dad Glen however is having a few nervous moments in the lead up to their departure - it is not his son's performance that is worrying. He knows that will take care of itself. All he and the family want is for the young man to have fun and enjoy himself. It's the thought of taking on the LA traffic that is giving Glen headaches. We all wish them both a safe journey and look forward to following Billy's story as ait continues to unfold. - Casey CHALLENGING TIME TO BE A MAROON A weekend is a long time in rugby league - if you don't think so then take a look at the before and after Round 16 shots of Maroon's coach Kevin Walters. Walters went from a man plotting and planning to pull the Blue's up short of a white or blue wash next Wednesday at the start of thee round to "please let it be over - what else can go wrong" by Sunday night. The Maroon's horror run of injuries this Origin campaign continued as Walters and Queenslanders watched aghast as Greg Inglis suffered a broken thumb as South's broke many a Cowboy fan's heart at Barlow Park in Cairns last Sunday. They say every cloud has a silver lining. That is the case for the Maroon's retiring No 1 Billy Slater who has been the puppet master behind so many of Queensland's epic 18 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES

Billy Webb with his parents Glen and Louise are overwhelmed by the community support the young golfer has received as he prepares to head to the USA on July 17. wins during his illustrious career. With the injury to Inglis, Slater will have the honour of joining only 13 others when he runs on to Suncorp Stadium as Maroon's captain in Game Three. The Maroon's "pick and stick" motto has been sorely tested this series and a below par performance by Ben Hunt in game two has opened the door for the inform Daley cherry Evans to return in the No 7 spot. Hunt will still play a pivotal role coming off the bench and without the weight of expectation is sure to have an impact. The loss of Inglis has forced a reshuffle with Dane Gagai moving to the centres and brings Corey Oates back into the side. Queenslanders will be hoping to see the horse galloping down the sideline on his way to planting the ball in the corner for yet another amazing try. Walters has been forced to call Melbourne's Tim Glasby into camp as Dylan Napa struggles with injury concerns ahead of the game. The Injury curse has hit Queensland hard this series but the Blue's are not immune. Coach Freddy Fittler has named Captain Boyd Cordner despite being under an injury cloud. Cordner is carrying a calf injury and will be given until the last moment to prove his fitness. The Coach confident his captain will play. Fittler has made one change with Tariq Sims earning himself a jersey replacing Matt Prior. Ryan James has joined the squad as a shadow for Cordner. Game Three might be a dead rubber but with an emotional farewell for Smith Cronk and JT in the planning and their partner in crime Slater captaining the side in his final game for the Maroons there is sure to be an electric atmosphere at Suncorp Stadium. If Game two is the bench mark then rugby league fans are certainly in for a treat as Walters' men set about thwarting Freddy's Blues as they attempt a three nil win for the first time in 18 years. Go Billy, Go the Maroons. We need a win, the Coach needs a win (or therapy) and we certainly don't need to give those pesky Cockroaches more to boast about for the next 12 months.

SPORTERS WIN FOR NIKKI Nikki Waterworth took the honours at Sporters last Sunday ahead of a big field who had come out to play in support of the fundraiser for young golfer Billy Webb.

Sam Dowie finished the round with the Best Gross score. The day's spoils were spread among the big group. Hunter Murphy claimed the Pin Shot on the third and George Merritt, the Pro Pin. Merritt also collected on of the two meat trays on offer, the other finding its way home with Kay Webb. Thanks to all those who joined Sporters in support of the fund raiser for Billy Webb. You are always welcome to join Sporters any Sunday morning. This week tee off is again between 8.00 and 8.30am. EARLY CONFRATERNITY SUCCESS The combined St Joey's/Assumption College rugby league team has kicked off their 2018 Confraternity campaign with two impressive wins. The team won their opening game against Marist College Emerald 18-12 and backed up their good form with a 20 - 6 win over the combined side from St Mary's, Maryborough/ St Paul's, Gympie. The two wins put them in a great position in Division Two as the competition continues for the rest of the week. TENNIS WINNER If you've had enough of the NRL circus and despondent after the exit of the Socceroos and a host luminaries from the World Cup don't despair Wimbledon 2018 is underway. The thwack thwack of the tennis ball will be music to many ears and sleep is set to become an unnecessary past time. Aussie's have become uncomfortably familiar with our tantrum throwing young tennis stars. All too often we are focused on the super talented under achieving Tomic. Then there Kyrgios who promises much and if he can just centre himself and leave the tantrums to Tomic he might give us all some joy. However one of the truly remarkable stories of Aussie grit and determination played out court 12 as Wimbledon got underway on day one. freetimes.com.au

email: wickets-stpe@bigpond.com

25 year old Aussie Jason Kubler made his return to Wimbledon almost a decade after taking his place as the number one seed in the 2010 Wimbledon junior tournament. His is a story of courage and determination - of overcoming enormous adversity to pursue his dream. Back in 2010 - 11 he was on top of the world and with a great career at his feet. He was brought to his knees literally by injury. Six knee operations - five on his left knee and just so his right did feel hardly done by one on his right. No more tennis was the order from the medicos. He was forced give up plans of a career on the professional circuit instead making a living from private hitting sessions but never truly abandoning his dream. No one would have blamed the kid from Bundaberg if he had turned his back on the sport after all despite his talent the only rewards he had reaped were six knee ops and a whole lot of hurt. He was driven however to give it one more go and against the advice of all the experts and in January he played in the Australian Open. On day one of Wimbledon however Kubler realised his destiny and after making through a tough qualifying took his place in the main draw. When he fronted the media before the 2018 tournament and told his story it was without a hint of the poor me or the world owes me - his smile was broad and at 25 despite his world having been turned on its head by bad luck and dodgy knees he was grateful for the opportunity. Unfortunately there was no fairytale Kubler went down in four sets to Argentinean opponent Guido Pella. No doubt he would have been disappointed, however that he is back playing at the highest level is a triumph. - Tomic, Kyrgios and all tennis tanty throwers should take a giant leaf out of this man's book. Australian tennis, I believe we have a winner. HUNTER AND BOEKHOLT TAKE THE PRIZE 44 Players took to the fairways and greens in Stanthorpe last weekend in perfect conditions for the 4BBB sponsored by Steve and Sandra Kay. Max Hunter and Darryl Boekholt finished the round with a winning score of 48 points. Settling for the runners up prize were Kev

Billy Webb addresses the ball as he putts while a very proud Kay Webb, his grandmother, watches on. Rowling and Greg Fraser with 46 points. The Men's pin shots were went the way of Steve Kay at the third and 12th and Keith Jones at the 17th. Steve Kay also collected the 1/10th Pro Pin -, Greg Fraser 5/14th - and Trevor Ludlow 9/18th. Helen Jones held the Ladies Pin Shot at the third and Pin shots for the ladies were 3rd Trish Fittock the 17th. Rundowns went to Peter Gibney and Keith Jones, Billy Webb and Scott Constable. Players will be hoping for similar conditions this weekend for the Single

Stroke event for the monthly medal which will be sponsored by Michael O'Brien. TOP TRL TEAMS HANG ON Many expect the race for the TRL A Grade Minor Premiership will ret between ladder leaders Valleys and Wattles but after round 13 there are signs that there are contenders waiting for the opportunity to bump them from their perch. Wattles and Valleys sit a comfortable four points ahead of the rest of the field however from their performances in round 13 they are far from unbeatable. The Hawks sent a scare through the

CASEY Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;CONNOR

Wattles camp when they led by six points in the shadow of full time. It was left to Travis Burns and the reliable boot of Duggan to snatch a win. Valleys on the other hand looked to have an unassailable lead in their game against Oakey Bears with the scores at 30-6 however they had to throw out all stops late in the game as the Bears got within six points. A couple of tries put the result beyond question but not before some nervous moments. Highfields who are in fourth spot had a big win over Pittsworth and the Cowboys who are hanging on to fourth spot copped a reality check losing 2-4 to third placed Dalby in their home game. With five rounds left before the finals the makeup of the top five is looking like an interesting race. TOUGH GIG COACHING Taking on an NRL coaching gig should come with a health warning after some of the results in Round 16. Round 16 could easily have been renamed the Coach Killing Round. The Doggies took a huge bite out of most tipsters results with their return to the winner's circle. Manly had been written off by many but did an about face to cause the panthers supporters plenty of pain. The Broncos came from the dead to put paid to Canberra and give both coaches ulcers. The avid Cowboys' supporter in our household was speechless as the Bunnies skipped away with the points in Cairns but did find some sympathy for Inglis. The Dragons almost had their pants pulled down by the Eels in another coach killer and across the ditch the Sharks did enough to get the prize in another nail biter. The game of the round was indeed Melbourne and the Roosters - what a great showcase of rugby league. And how much do we miss Cameron Smith in Queensland colours. This week we only have to deal with a handful of games due to Origin but it isn't easy again. â&#x2014;?
