MORE TO LOVE The editor’s desk I had the opportunity for this week's cover story (pages 4 and 5) to get to know the new manager of the Warwick RSL Memorial Club, who appropriately commenced in his role in the week of Anzac Day. Martin Taylor impressed me with both his enthusiasm and depth of experience in the club and wider hospitality sector and I wish him - along with the staff and the management committee - all the best for the future success of this valued community club.

In a busy week last week we also had the 2019 Adina Polocrosse World Cup at Morgan Park. There is no question this huge event brought with it significant economic benefits for the Warwick and wider business community.

Some readers questioned the extent of irrigation of the Morgan Park polocrosse fields ahead of the event due to the drought. That was their right and I published some of those opinions in letters to the editor and in associated stories and to some extent asked the same question myself, in the context of irrigation of all recreational open space in the region right now, and even the grading of roads.

But let me say on the record the World Cup was a coup for Warwick - and the flow-on effects for the business community cannot be underestimated.

THIS WEEK WE’RE TALKING ABOUT…

PENNISI AND GOW ONLY TWO IN ‘YES’ CAMP

BY JEREMY SOLLARS The Granite Belt Community Association (GBCA) has vowed to continue the fight for Stanthorpe to de-amalgamate from Warwick and form a new Granite Belt Council, despite a 7 to 2 vote against the split by Southern Downs Regional councillors this week.

The Association is even proposing Granite Belt residents refuse to pay council rates and utility charges in protest, following an overwhelming majority vote at a community rally held in Stanthorpe last Sunday 28 April, attended by more than 1200 people.

Councillors at the April monthly meeting held at the Warwick Town Hall on Tuesday of this week all spoke on the proposed split, with the majority citing the "financial risks" of de-amalgamation as their reason for not supporting it.

In the end only Stanthorpe-based councillors Vic Pennisi and Cameron Gow voted in favour of de-amalgamation.

Their fellow Stanthorpe-based councillor Marika McNichol - who was close to tears while speaking - seconded the motion to oppose de-amalgamation, which was moved by Deputy Mayor Jo McNally, who essentially led the charge for the "no split" camp.

Along with Crs McNally and McNichol all other councillors voted against deamalgamation - Mayor Tracy Dobie and Councillors Neil Meiklejohn, Rod Kelly, Sheryl Windle and Yve Stocks.

Stanthorpe residents at the meeting gave Cr Pennisi rousing cheers and applause when he insisted that the Granite Belt Community Association's business case for de-amalgamation be referred to the independent Local Government Change Commission.

Cr Pennisi said a report by the Queensland Treasury Corporation (QTC) - which claims de-amalgamation would deliver an 82 per cent rate rise in the first year alone of a new Granite Belt Council and just under 50 per cent each following year - had not been independently reviewed or tested by the Change Commission or any other independent panel or body.

He also pointed out that the GBCA report and the QTC report were both based

on figures and modelling supplied by the council and the State Government, saying he could "not understand" why the two reports were at such variance.

"This is probably the biggest decision of my political career," Cr Pennisi declared at the start of his speech.

"There is no way of knowing which set of figures gives the real picture.

"I also don't know why we are being asked as councillors to make a State Government decision.

MINISTER'S CALL The Free Times asked the minister on Tuesday if he would still consider referring the GBCA de-amalgamation proposal to the Change Commission.

A spokesman said "there's nothing currently before the minister that would enable a referral of today's vote to the Change Commission" but did not specifically refer to the business case itself, leaving the minister's position somewhat unclear.

The council motion voted in on Tuesday, despite the majority against de-amalgamation, did acknowledge Mr Hinchliffe still has the option of continuing to examine the GBCA demerger proposal.

Both Cr Dobie and Cr McNally directly attacked the GBCA in their speeches, describing their proposal as "destructive" and "negative", with Cr McNally accusing the group of "ridiculing" and "lambasting" any Granite Belt residents who opposed de-amalgamation.

Cr Dobie also said Warwick ratepayers currently "subsidised" council services to Granite Belt residents by around "20 per cent".

Cr McNichol said de-amalgamation would likely mean "vital" projects such as a new $10 million wastewater treatment plant and a $20 million new waste facility for Stanthorpe might not happen.

She said her "heart says yes" to the split but that she could not support it on financial grounds and

GET THE

“ WOW”

fact o r forles

"But there are discrepancies between these reports and all of the authors must be interrogated by an independent panel, such as the Change Commission."

Cr Cameron Gow said he agreed with "the bulk" of what Cr Pennisi had said and added that ultimately decisions about deamalgamation of any Queensland council rested with the State Government and current Local Government Minister Stirling Hinchliffe. ● the cost imposition it would mean for Granite Belt residents and reduced council services.

Cr Neil Meiklejohn said in his view QTC findings that he could not dispute included $2.21 million for information technology (IT) set-up for a new Granite Belt Council and $1.78 million for a "transition team" to implement de-amalgamation.

Cr Sheryl Windle said many Granite Belt locals were "too afraid to speak up" against the GBCA de-merger proposal and said the GBCA had shown "malice" towards those who did not support them.

Cr Yve Stocks said she would not be "bullied" into supporting de-amalgamation, while Cr Rod Kelly pointed out his long family history with the Stanthorpe region but said he too could not support de-amalgamation on the grounds of financial unsustainability.

Speaking to the Free Times immediately after Tuesday's vote GBCA vice-president Amanda Harrold said the group stood by its report which had been prepared by local government expert David Spearitt, and that rates in other Queensland councils which had de-amalgamated had not increased as had been predicted.

‘HARSH FINES’ FOR TRESPASS Following a string of recent animal rights protests across the country and in the region the Southern Downs Regional Council has activated a local law that it says will help protect the region's primary producers and businesses from unlawful activities.

In a statement released this week the council said its Local Laws Officers can now issue on-the-spot Penalty Infringement Notices of up to a maximum of two penalty units, or $261, to individuals engaging in prohibited or restricted activities under Section 5(4) of Local Law No.4.

"In addition to Council issued fines, protestors engaging in unlawful activities could face fines of up to 20 penalty units, or $2610, from Queensland Courts and additional on-the-spot fines from the State Government of up to $652," the council statement said.

"The move comes after vegan protestors from outside the region trespassed onto private property at Carey Brothers Abattoir in Yangan and a dairy farm in the Freestone Valley on Monday 8 April."

Mayor Tracy Dobie said "the harsh penalties will make protestors think twice before engaging in activities that will impact on Southern Downs residents and local businesses".

"Council is taking this issue very seriously because our residents' safety and livelihoods are at risk," Cr Dobie said.

"If protestors want to come to our region, break the law and disrupt business then they should be prepared to incur fines.

"People have the right to protest and have their opinions heard, but we need to make sure protests are done lawfully and don't negatively impact on the lives and businesses of our residents."

Police have charged 19 people with trespass in relation to the Carey Brothers abattoir incident and they are due to appear in the Warwick Magistrates Court on various dates in May. ●

COVER STORY

NEW RSL BOSS ON DECK Cover photo – new Warwick RSL Club manager Martin Taylor behind the bar. Photo this page – (back, from left) management committee president Peter Kemp, outgoing interim manager Andrew Bowtell and Martin Taylor and (seated) management committee members Wendy Campbell and Thea Francis. 192925

BY JEREMY SOLLARS t's been a rather turbulent year so far for the Warwick RSL Memorial Club but with the arrival of a new permanent manager and a recentlyelected new management committee things are finally be heading in the right direction.

The Free Times has been following developments at the community club since an interim management committee was

I

elected back in February after a special meeting of club members was called.

Without going too much over past or more recent history, members were concerned about the club's financial viability and overall management structure, with closure of the club having been talked about as a genuine possibility.

But a lot has happened since then and several key appointments have been made in the staffing ranks in recent months, not

the least of which is new manager Martin Taylor.

Back on Tuesday 26 March the Warwick RSL Memorial Club held its annual general meeting for 2019-2020 and elected a new management committee, made up in part of office holders voted in at the February special meeting who acted in an 'interim' capacity until the formal AGM. Shortly after the AGM an interim club manager - Andrew Bowtell - was brought

on board to help manage the transitional arrangements while recruitment of a permanent manager was undertaken.

All that was done with the assistance of external business management consultants Kestrel Solutions, who had earlier completed a major independent review of the club's financial position and future direction, with their report containing close to 70 individual recommendations to shore the club's finances up for the future.

Martin Taylor has some previous connections to the Rose City and surrounds.

Internal systems such as stock ordering and control have been thoroughly investigated since that time and a host of changes made - but perhaps the best news of all is that Martin Taylor and the management committee have given an onthe-record assurance that current staffing numbers will not be reduced, although some changes have already been made to improve rostering efficiency.

And former Southern Free Times advertising sales executive Natasha Sheehan was recently appointed as part-time marketing manager for the RSL, having been keen to find a role with familyfriendly hours, and with her business and community contacts and outgoing personality has hit the ground running in her new role.

Interim manager Andrew Bowtell is about to finish up and the Free Times caught up with both Andrew and Martin perhaps appropriately - on Anzac Day last week, after the post-march luncheon for veterans and veterans' families, and while the traditional Anzac Day 'two-up' was in progress up in Kings Theatre.

Martin Taylor also formally took on his manager role in the week of Anzac Day - last Tuesday 23 April to be exact - and he is fired up and raring to go, with an

enthusiasm that can only be described as infectious.

The new boss brings with him around two decades of community club management experience in what those in the hospitality sector describe as "club land", and he has literally moved from the beach to the bush, with his last posting consisting of seven years as manager of the Alexandra Headland Surf Life Saving Club on the Sunshine Coast.

Prior to that Martin ran the Bribie Island Bowls Club for 12 years, but his impressive resume also includes management of commercial hotels and resorts in north Queensland and elsewhere and experience in the banking sector, and to top it off a tertiary degree in business.

But what might perhaps be of most interest to Warwick residents is that Martin was a boarder at the former Slade School now the Warwick Christian College - and was also manager of Cherrabah Homestead Resort at Elbow Valley east of Warwick back in the late 1980s.

Martin and his wife Angela - who is keen to become involved in crafting circles in the Rose City - have found a place to live in Warwick and have three adult children.

"I grew up at Crows Nest where my dad was the only doctor in town," Martin told

the Free Times.

"The surgery was attached to the house and life was always pretty hectic so dad decided it'd be a good idea if we all went off to boarding school.

"I boarded at Slade in the mid-seventies and my older brother was there I think from 1971, and my sister boarded at the Presbyterian Girls' College.

"After Slade I went to the Queensland University of Technology to study applied science - this was just when the internet was really taking off - but in that first year I decided it just wasn't for me.

"I started working in the banking industry and later moved into hospitality it's a sector a lot of people just seem to come back to, it gets in your blood."

Martin conceded that the Alexandra Headland surf club is a "different market" to the Warwick RSL, but that the Bribie Island Bowls Club "is a similar size", with around 120 gaming machines and bistro-style dining.

"Yes it's been a beach-to-the-bush type of move, but in essence you're doing the same things - it's just a different view out of the window," Martin laughed.

"There's a new regime here at the Warwick RSL and there's a recognition that change is needed.

Entertainment has a renewed focus at the Warwick RSL with upcoming acts including 'Australia's Queen of Comedy' Fiona O'Loughlin and the Delltones tribute show.

"We certainly don't intend to cut existing staffing positions and in fact we're hopeful that as things continue to turn around we'll be making more of those positions fulltime, whereas the majority of the 40 or so positions we currently have are casuals, which is pretty common in hospitality of course.

"We're still working with Kestrel Solutions but obviously their involvement is going to become less as time moves on.

"People who come to the club are going to see changes in the times to come - we're looking at the overall strategy for everything we offer here in terms of dining, gaming and entertainment.

"We want see the staff being more and more engaged with the running of the club - most importantly we want to see our members and patrons 'eat, drink and be merry'.

"The changes we'll be making won't happen overnight but what I do want to say very publicly is that I am open to direct feedback.

"I am more than happy for members or visitors to knock on my door and tell me what's working and what's not - that's a commitment I am more than happy to make right at the outset.

"I'm pretty thick-skinned and I need to know what hasn't worked in the past and what we need to change ongoing." ●

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR WASTEWATER,

WARWICK...

BY JEREMY SOLLARS

W

henever town dwellers and workers at townbased businesses flush the loo it's highly unlikely they give a second thought to where the contents go, and what happens to them when they get there.

The Free Times was recently treated to a guided tour of the Warwick Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) up on Wentworth Street and it proved to be a real eye-opener and a bit of an eye-waterer as well.

Greywater - from your kitchen sink, bathroom and laundry - and effluent waste from your toilet travel through the wastewater network to the sprawling plant

on the banks of the Condamine River, and what happens then is surprisingly complex and scientific.

The first stage of treatment is the removal of material which is not human waste and toilet paper. Without going into all the rather unpleasant details, this includes things like flushable wipes - which while they may be marketed as 'flushable'

should not under any circumstances be flushed, as they can cause serious blockages in the sewer network, sometimes referred to by local authorities around the world as 'fatbergs'. You get the picture.

The next phase is the removal of 'grit' basically particles of dirt which enter the sewer network through broken pipes and corrosion.

COVER STORY Once all those nasties are removed, the wastewater travels through a series of aerobic ponds, where live microbes bugs, for the non-technical - proceed to devour the majority of your human waste.

Remember, they're doing the environment a great service, as in the bad old days of wastewater management decades ago, effluent water treated to a very low standard - basically minus solids, which were left to 'settle' in holding ponds - was simply pumped into the river and forgotten about.

After the bugs the now somewhat cleaner wastewater moves to the tertiary treatment stage, where it passes through series after series of fine filters - including cloth - and finally emerges at the other end as 'Class A' recycled water.

'Class A' is water which can be used for things like irrigating sporting fields and parks. You can't drink it, but your skin can safely come into contact with it, although the council advises "minimal" contact and to wash your hands with soapy water after contact. 'Class A' water from the Warwick WWTP is siphoned out through the current recycled water network in the Rose City and is used by the likes of the Warwick Golf Club, sporting groups in Queens Park, Warwick State High School and Leslie Park. As reported previously in the Free Times, the recycled water network is being expanded to include Warwick's industrial estates off McEvoy and Kenilworth Streets, including the Warwick Saleyards truck wash. At present the Warwick WWTP

NO WIPES IN THE PIPES...

It might seem like an easy cleaning solution - use a bathroom wipe and then flush it - but while they are sold as 'flushable', wipes really shouldn't be going down the toilet at all.

The flushable label simply means they will go down your toilet when flushed. Labelling on products needed to be consistent and accurate and that people should be encouraged to put wet wipes into the rubbish, not the toilet.

Wipes - whether they be baby wipes, facial wipes, cleaning wipes or the increasingly popular personal wipes - have the potential to create huge problems in our sewer systems.

Wipes, often marketed as a cleaner alternative to toilet paper, don't break down once they are swept down the toilet bowl unlike toilet paper, wipes

doesn't have the capability of producing 'Class A+' recycled water which can be used in a variety of applications, including some food and related production. We won't touch on any public commentary about the latter project here - this article is purely educational...

So there you have it - all you ever wanted to know about what happens to your poo and wee, but were too afraid to ask ... ● Hungry microbes at work in the treatment ponds.

So-called 'flushable' wipes are a big nono.

PICTURES: Jeremy Sollars do not disintegrate in water.

What you need to be concerned about is what happens next?

Wipes stay pretty much intact as they travel through the sewer pipes and can get caught on tree roots or other debris. This increases the chances of a blockage in the sewer pipes which can cause costly damage to pumps or lead to sewer overflows which have the potential to impact on the environment.

So, throw away any cleaning/ disinfecting wipes, moist towelettes, personal hygiene products, baby wipes and any other type of wipe you may use into the garbage, never in your toilet. Clogged sewer lines are ugly and expensive to fix. Binning disposable wipes is such an easy way to minimise our wastewater rates increases, protect our sewer system, our environment and prevent unnecessary trouble. ●

AUSSIE DOMINANCE MAINTAINED Australia last weekend regained its title as 'Best in the World' at the Adina 2019 Polocrosse World Cup, defeating current world champions South Africa 34 to 21 in a hard-fought battle at Warwick's Morgan Park last Sunday 28 April.

Australia entered the Championship Final undefeated, having outplayed Zimbabwe 24 v 11, the USA 29 v 14, Zambia 25 v 8, and NZ 29 v 15.

According to two-time Australian World Cup coach Ross Shepherd, the dominance of the Australian women was a highlight of the game.

"They did it and they did it well," Ross said.

"The dominance of the Australian women was the highlight of the game and the event - they played perfect polocrosse."

Ross made special mention of how exceptional the purpose-bred Australian Stock Horses performed at this elite level.

"The success of the Berragoon Stud horses at this event shows how important it is that we continue to breed purpose-bred polocrosse horses," he said.

"These horses competed incredibly well on the world stage."

Organisers said with record crowds, the 2019 World Cup was the largest international sporting event ever to be held in rural Australia, according to Marketing and Sponsorship manager Linda Tillman.

Despite being one of Australia's most underrated - yet thrilling - sports, the crowd numbers at the World Cup Finals on Sunday

exceeded those that attended the Cowboys vs Bulldogs NRL game at ANZ Stadium in Sydney on Saturday 27 April," Linda said.

"Taking place in Warwick from 22 to 28 April, the event attracted over 50,000 spectators from all over Australia - the other seven competing countries of USA, UK, Ireland, NZ, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe and other countries including

Mexico, Canada, Norway and Holland.

"For a town of 15,000 that has been struggling with drought for many years, the flow-on impact of the event for Warwick has been significant.

"It is estimated that the economic impact of the event on the region will exceed $5 million.

"Accommodation was at capacity for

the week of the event, and businesses have reported record trading and an electric atmosphere around the central business district due to the international visitors."

Trade sites at Morgan Park recorded record trading over the week, including rural small business Cannard Hats, which was on the verge of closing due to the struggle of drought.

Chris Cannard said the event injected the necessary cash and confidence he needed to get the business back on track.

"The last six months in business has been tough with the drought," he said.

"This event has given me the confidence in my hats, and the ability to invest the necessary funds back into the business.

Linda Tillman said the event's live stream provided those that could not attend with a piece of the action, with 1050 viewers from more than 15 countries - Australia, UK, South Africa, NZ, USA, Ireland, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, France, Spain) - 32,000 views

and 12,000 hours of viewing.

"Generous horse owners loaned 150 of Australia's best mares and geldings to the event for players to compete on, resulting in one of the largest horse recruitment drives in Australia's peace-time history," Linda said.

"It was not uncommon for the volunteer horse support crew, who looked after the horses during the event, to walk 20-30km a day running horses to and from stables, stretching the horses out sunrise and sunset and general stable and feed duties.

"Over 300 volunteers and community groups supported the event in a variety of roles, from the committed organising

committee, which has contributed thousands of hours to the event over the past two years, to the gate staff, canteen and bar staff, car parking, horse handlers, photographers, operations and rubbish management."

TOILETS TRANSFORMED BY ARTWORKS Seven amenities blocks in the northern part of the Southern Downs will be transformed in the coming weeks by artwork. The project is being coordinated by the Warwick Art Gallery with support from the Southern Downs Regional Council, with the aim of invigorating the spaces, attracting visitors and generating community pride.

Warwick Art Gallery Director Karina Devine embraced the project by inviting Queensland artists to submit proposals with the broad aim to improve the visual amenity and vibrancy of parks and public spaces

Artist Karri McPherson brought to life the public toilet block at Mile End Park in Warwick.

(SDRC image) with artworks that are "interesting, fun and captivating".

"It was very important when making our selections that each of the artworks were authentic to the artist's practice as well as

having public appeal," Karina said.

"The assessment panel and I are thrilled with the final choices we made, engaging four Southern Downs artists as well as Brisbane artists Emily Devers and Elysha Rei, and Toowoomba artist Karri McPherson.

"Karri has created a wrap-around artwork for the amenities block at Mile End Park."

The complete list of artists engaged for the project and locations are -

Karri McPherson - Mile End Park, Warwick Nikki Woods - Browns Falls Park, Killarney Sue Keong - Liberator Park, Leyburn Louise Tait - Dalrymple Creek Park, Allora Emily Devers - Australiana Park, Warwick Kerry Nicholson and Malcolm Nicholson - Victoria Park, Warwick · Elysha Rei - Grafton Street, Warwick Information about each of the participating artists and the stories about their artwork are on the Warwick Art Gallery website under "Special Projects" at http://www.warwickartgallery.com.au/ ● · · · · · ·

BEATRICE HAWKINS

SUNFLOWERS MORE DIVERSE THAN EVER I am on the email list for a seed company in the USA, Johnny's Selected Seeds, and while I have never, and will never, buy anything from them, it is interesting to see what is available over there. The current one has a vast array of Sunflowers on offer.

Now, we live on the sunflower route, and on a farm we had at Narromine over 40 years ago, we grew one of the first broad acre, dry land, crops in that area.

Small acreages of irrigated crops were relatively common but my husband was always a progressive, forward thinking and innovative farmer and, when seasonal conditions prevented planting of our usual cereal crop, he decided we would put in a large area of sunflowers. It was very successful and, if we had stayed in the area, would have been repeated.

I loved to drive past them on the way into the house and delighted in seeing them follow the sun. So you can see I have a long history with, and an appreciation of, sunflowers as an oil seed crop, but this American seed company is supplying a huge range for the cut flower trade and this is something very new to me.

The colours and styles are amazing and I hope we have room to show you a range.

There are green, purple, brown and multicoloured ones. Burgundy, chocolate and cream, mauve and lilac, almost white and many different shades of yellow and orange and an almost blue variety. They come in singles and doubles and there is even a fluffy one they call "Teddy Bear"! The centres are not always the brown/black that we are used to seeing in the paddocks as we drive around our area, but can be yellow and even bright green, they can be single stemmed or branching ... the variety of colour and form seems to be endless.

These may be available as florist flowers in this country but I have not seen them.

If ever I could be tempted to import seeds from overseas it would be to give these a try. However, having been a farmer's wife for many years, there is no way I could be convinced to import any seeds or plants that I purchased on the internet from overseas.

Remember - "a weed is only a plant out of place" - and I have seen far too many of these and spent too much time and money trying to eradicate things that were brought

in and have gone wild. I am sure you could name many from blackberry, St. John's Wort, bracken fern, Johnson's grass ... the list is endless and the damage and cost to agriculture immense.

Since sharing pictures of these delightful flowers with a friend she has provided photos of some spectacular ones she grew here in Warwick. She got the seeds from an Australian e-bay site so maybe I need to try there.

I will, over the winter months, endeavour to find what is available for purchase here from local seed merchants and have some to try and grow for fun next season, not the huge oil seed varieties, but some for flower arranging.

The next event for the Horticultural Society will be on Wednesday, June 26th, in the CWA rooms in Grafton Street when Brian Sams will again be giving us the benefit of his knowledge, expertise and experience. He is an extremely informative and entertaining speaker. This is a free information night so mark the date in your diary and plan to attend. â—?

BEATING THE DROUGHT WITH BUCKET GARDENING A local gardener has beaten the drought by moving her garden into self-watering buckets and drums.

When Del Hansen moved to Warwick in 2016 she got stuck in and planted a huge range of edible plants and trees including citrus, macadamia nuts, figs, mulberries, apples, plums and almonds as well as a veg patch.

Within a year, she realised that the combination of low rainfall and sandy soil made it almost impossible to keep the water up to the vegies and her precious fruit and nut trees.

"I knew I had to do something differently - I was using every drop of tank water to keep everything alive. A couple of hot or windy days would leave the garden looking sad and droopy," Del said.

Del decided to take action. She knew that the best way to keep plant roots moist was to make sure the water couldn't run away or evaporate.

With a little help from her handy hubby, Del designed a 'wicking bucket' system.

"Just like a wicking bed, a wicking bucket stores water in a base filled with gravel. As the soil dries out at the top, moisture is automatically drawn up to feed the roots," she said.

"Once I was sure it worked, I bought a heap more recycled buckets and drums and transplanted my most thirsty young trees into them.

"For extra protection I added mulch and moved them closer to the house where they are sheltered from western sun and wind."

Del has also started planting vegies and herbs into wicking tubs with great results.

"I love growing my own produce but I couldn't justify the water usage in the main veg patch," she said.

"I have scaled back to a few favourites that are densely planted in drums and tubs.

"And because they never dry out, they are growing well and taste better".

Rocket, spring onions, parsley, basil, lettuce, chillies, tomatoes and capsicum have all done well in buckets and tubs.

The wicking buckets are cheap too. The recycled 20 litre buckets were under $10 and the gravel and geotextile fabric layer 14 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES

'Bucket gardener' Del Hansen.

Great way to save water. added only a couple more dollars to the total price. The larger recycled half drums (120 litres) suitable for larger trees cost under $40 each.

Del says the best part of using a wicking bucket is that no water is wasted.

"I can water each 20 litre bucket with a couple of litres of water once a week and that is enough," she said.

"The half drums take about 4-6 litres of water (half a bucket) - compared to when the trees were in the ground, I think I am using around 10 per cent of the water and I'm saving heaps of time too".

Del has managed to keep all her favourite edible plants healthy and green all through the summer on tank water alone.

With current water restrictions meaning that hosing using town water is banned, wicking buckets may well catch on in the Southern Downs.

Time to get creative in the drought. (Story & images by Del Hansen)

MAKE YOUR OWN WICKING BUCKET OR DRUM ...

1. Drill a water overflow hole about 2 inches (50mm) above the bottom of the bucket or drum.

2. Fill the bucket with 10-15mm gravel or scoria up to the overflow level.

3. Cut a piece of geotextile, weed mat or recycled fabric (old fleece or sweatshirt) into a circle shape to cover the gravel. Make

it slightly larger than the diameter of the bucket to make sure no soil can fall into the gravel layer.

4. Fill the pot with good potting mix. A of potting mix and coir (coco peat) works even better at saving water.

5. You are now ready to plant your wicking bucket.

6. Water well and finish with a 50mm layer of mulch (sugar cane is good, but any mulch is better than none). â—? freetimes.com.au

SPLIT AND SPITE It is disturbing and predictable at the amount of name calling and vitriol that is appearing in the printed press and social media following the release of the Hoffman and QTC reports. I shouldn't be surprised as it appears that supporters of the GBCA are encouraged to lash out at anyone who dares to disagree with their point of view.

There is a fanciful idea out there that a de-amalgamated Granite Belt Council would have lower rate rises and that all of the problems ratepayers have with the council would disappear. How wrong can you be?

Some council costs are the same irrespective of the size of the council and large councils have a decided advantage in some other areas. I believe for instance that garbage services in the new Granite Belt Council could be substantially dearer if de-amalgamation goes ahead. It is interesting to recall some of the issues that the Stanthorpe Council was grappling with during my last term as a councillor 1997 to 2000.

(1) The rate burden is unfair on some sections of the shire and some ratepayers are not paying their fair share.

(2) The council is spending too little/too much on sporting fields.

(3) The council is spending too little/too much on the Art Gallery.

(4) The council has its tourist promotions policy all wrong.

Do any of these issues sound familiar?

There will always sections of the shire that believe that they are not getting a fair deal from the council but the plain fact of the matter is that if the council increases their support for a particular section of the com-

munity then one of two things has to happen. Either rates go up to cover the cost or some other section misses out. My fear is that a de-amalgamated Granite Belt Council would be a high rated council unable to provide its ratepayers with the services they deserve.

If those Granite Belt residents who are spending so much energy trying to pull our council apart, spent half that amount of energy supporting our council we could be living in one of the best areas in Queensland.

FEWER DAYS TO DUMP I am writing in response to the news from SDRC, of the imminent loss of two days of public waste facility availability at Yangan, and no doubt of other small town facilities in the Southern Downs council administrative region.

To the residents of this district and general catchment area of this dump (Yangan, Emu Vale, Swan Creek, Junabee etc), this appears to be an ill thought out decision, and indeed a pretty dumb decision at that.

The population of the area increases, albeit slowly perhaps, and the council seems to be of the belief that less waste is being generated! Less services for more people, amazing !!

The present contractors\caretakers of the Yangan Waste Facility do a really incredible job in keeping the compound in immaculate condition, and maintained to the highest level. This is no easy task, when inevitably some do not segregate their waste as they should, or as they are directed to. This makes the

I would like to pass on my congratulations, to Les and Robyn Fraser, the committee, all of the volunteers, and the sponsors, of the 2019 Adina Polocrosse World Cup. Congratulations also to the competitors and their horses, and to the spectators. The event was a huge success and can only be accredited to the workload, contributed by all involved, in bringing this to fruition.

The hard work, the commitment, and the dedication, shown by the committee and volunteers, in the lead up to the event, and for the duration of the event, did not go unnoticed. You were all amazing. What you have achieved for this community goes above and beyond everyone's expectation.

The full benefits to this region, of having this event, may never be fully recognized.

There are many businesses, throughout the region, who have been run off their feet for the duration of the event, and can now sit back and take stock of what this has meant

to them, both financially, and personally.

At a time of severe drought, this event has boosted the region, both economically and mentally, when it needed it most.

If you were lucky enough to get to Morgan Park, as a spectator, to witness this great game, you would not have been disappointed. If you were there as a volunteer, I am sure you will have gained satisfaction, of being a contributor to such a success. If you were a competitor, or an owner of one of those amazing horses, you should be proud of what you have accomplished.

I am proud to be a citizen of this great community.

manager's job that much more difficult, and time consuming!

So after the 30th June 2019, going from 4 days to 2 days of permissible public entry, is not only going to penalise the public who use the facility, but penalise the managers of the facility. Inevitably, as has happened in the past at similar such facilities, rubbish will be dumped\disposed of illegally, both at the front gate and elsewhere in the district, be of no doubt!

THE SPIN

HECTIC TIME ON SPORTING ROUNDS It has been an unusual week in the Spin sphere. Public holidays aplenty have meant sport every which way you look.

In the past week there have many trips up and down the highway, a pause to honour our Anzacs, mix in a family wedding and I beginning to wonder which way is up.

The Polocrosse World Cup was been a huge success and congratulations to the victorious Australian team who did the green and gold proud. Congratulations also to the Well's family and their horse Hawthorne Matilda who had the prestige of being named the best horse in division four at the Adina Polocrosse World Cup. A great thrill for the owners and for her American rider during the tournament.

The event brings a lot of attention to the Southern Downs and congratulations must go to the organisers who did such a magnificent job.

This weekend another type of horse power hits the Southern Downs as Warwick plays host to one leg of the three part Drag Challenge Weekend, an interesting concept that should again draw plenty of followers.

The NRL once again did a magnificent job honouring our service men and women past and present during the Anzac round. It is one initiative that the NRL should be applauded for. It is extremely moving and very successful in raising awareness however I must admit I think I'm beginning to hum the Last Post in my sleep.

NRL results continue to defy most tipsters with results the most unpredictable in several seasons. It might just be time to resort to a pin I'm starting to think.

CASEY'S TIPS ROUND NINE, BUNNIES, COWBOYS, STORM, RAIDERS, SEA EAGLES, KNIGHTS, DRAGONS FITTING FAREWELL Last week a crowd which included some of the biggest names in Queensland and Australian Cricket filled the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Red Hill to farewell Lew Cooper. It was a fitting farewell and great tribute to a man who lived and breathed the game of cricket almost to the exclusion of all else in his life. There were plenty of amusing anecdotes during the service and afterwards at the Queensland Cricketers Club as Lew was honoured and remembered.

Internationally renowned Poet Rupert McCall was a great friend of Lew. He credits Cooper with getting him his first poetry gig and penned and delivered the following words at the end of the service. I am honoured that he provided a copy of his words for me to share with you.

ODE TO THE LEGENDARY LEW In the Undisputed history of brave and mighty men There's a name that seems to reappear again, again again....

A hero of the humble kind! An icon of the nation!

A champion of life itself! An unsung inspiration!

Though if pressed to furnish one thing on his high achieving ticket Then the verdict is unanimous, the word you'd use is 'CRICKET' From the glory of the Gabba to the grass roots of the state 18 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES

Warwick is set to be over run with a different type of horse power this weekend when the street machines competing in the Drag Challenge Weekend hit town.

He's a warrior! A Wanderer! A mentor and a mate.

Is it really any wonder that our country gives three cheers!

To a very proud Australian and his celebrated years For an innings most spectacular, sensational and super!

We raise our glass in honour of the legendary... Lew Cooper.

- Rupert McCall EAGLES SUPPORT WOMBAT Sea Eagles fans and rugby league fans in general will be saddened to hear that one of the greats, Graham 'Wombat' Eadie; and a Manly legend is not in the best of health and down on his luck.

Last Friday a Sportsman's lunch and benefit day was held for the much loved Manly great and life member at the Billinudgel Hotel on the Northern Coast of NSW. At 65, Wombat is a true Sea Eagles legend. Arguably the greatest fullback to play for Manly; he remains as the club's greatest point scorer (197 points) and won four premierships in the 70's (1972, 1973, 1976, and 1978).

The big crowd at the Billinudgel Hotel were joined by some of Manly's other favourite sons including Steve Mortimer, Jamie Lyon and Steve Menzies.

The Billinudgel luncheon is the first of several fundraising events to support Eadie and his wife. Manly's Godfather, Ken Arthurson, former coach Frank Stanton and former Test forward John "Pogo" Morgan are firmly in Wombat's corner along with members of the Men of League.

It seems only fitting that Arthurson, who signed Eadie as an unknown 18-year-old from Woy Woy, and Stanton, his coach in two premierships (1976 and 1978), remain solidly behind Eadie almost 50 years after he made his debut for the club.

It is an example of the spirit of the Sea Eagles club is famous for. In times of trouble, they stick and that is the situation with Eadie.

Frank Stanton has been appointed to control and disperse all funds raised for Eadie to make his life more comfortable and an account has been set up should fans wish to make a donation. Graham Eadie Account Donations; NAB Bank, Pacific Fair; BSB: 084917; Account Number: 942347809.

Other events which have been arranged to support Eadie who now lives on the Gold Coast include a luncheon at the Kirra Beach Hotel on May 17 and a reunion of the Queensland Golden Eagles at Burleigh Bears Leagues Club on 23 August.

BACK AFTER A BREAK After a short break over the Easter long weekend Sporters hit the fairways on Sunday.

Thursday, 2 May, 2019

Tony Steele was back in good form and in the club house with a Sunday win under his belt. Best of the rest was runner up Bob Watts while Ian Anderson once again finished the round with the Best Gross score. Paul Byrnes and Dave Burgess featured in the run downs. Terry Roser held the Pin Shot at the 12th and Trev Marsden the 17th while Norm Steele held the Pro Pin. Phil Zikan and Nick Casey did not go home empty handed either - they each won a meat tray.

Sporters can enjoy another lazy Sunday morning this weekend. There is no Sporters' competition due to the Black Toyota Golf Day. Things will return to normal the following weekend (Sunday 12) with tee off at the usual time of 7.30am -8.00am.

HOPPING ALONG The second Tanny Classic may just be a memory now but things at the Tannymorel Bowls Club have been hopping along nicely.

Easter egg bowls were a good way to get everyone in the mood for the break and proved to be a night of laughs with plenty of jibes thrown in.

Abby Petersen, Tanya Roche, Shaggs O'Mara and Crocodile took home the eggs after they scored a 14-4 win over Blake Galvin, Steph Shelley, Wayne Roche and Thommo. Some dispute as to whether Crocodile simply thrashed Thommo or if the latter and his teammates just let him win because he forgot Kay's Easter egg.

Lisa Weier, Maddy Weier, Wayne Petersen were runner's up and the other minor placing went to Nick Roche, Chris O'Mara, Locky Boal.

After the Easter break the club hosted Turkey Triples last Thursday 14 teams were on the greens playing for prizes donated by club stalwart and sponsor Ray Bunch Machinery.

Andrea Denkewitz and Jenny Tunbridge took on Carol Verwey and Sharyn Roser.

It was a tough game where there were no more than one or two hoops between each team throughout the game. With scores level coming to the end of the game Jenny Tunbridge managed to break the deadlock scoring a hoop with her last shot to secure a 22-21 win for she and her partner. In the game Andrea Denkewitz scored a peel and had a break of three. Carol Verwey and Sharyn Roser each had breaks of two.

Team One played very well, there was some good teamwork and individual players also had some good turns.

Game two was much closer but again the honours went to Team One. Bill Golding played well in this game scoring an agari.

After a short break play resumed but the teams were rearranged as some players were unavailable for the final games.

The third game was a slow and low scoring affair but the revamped Team One (Andrea Denkewitz, Bill Golding and Joy Newman) did enough to secure an 8-6 win.

Team One made it a clean sweep winning the fourth and final game 14-8. freetimes.com.au

SMALL BUT DEDICATED GROUPS The Golf Croquet group was able to complete one game last week before showers forced a halt to play. Shirley Page put up a brave fight in the game against opponents Di Wren and Kathy Hopgood however they proved too strong and claimed a 13-9 win.

A small group of players turned out for Ricochet Croquet on the Anzac Public Holiday but usurpingly numbers were affected. Andrea Denkewitz and Carol Verwey played John Draper and Sharyn Roser. The lead changed four times during the course of the game. John and Sharyn were the first to peg out one of their balls however their opponents Andrea and Carol managed to peg out both of their balls to snatch a 26-25 win. In an entertaining game both Denekwitz and Draper scored a run of three hoops in a row.

WINNING COMBO Ian Pickering and Len Leigh proved to be a winning combination on the golf course on Saturday; the pair returned 49 points to win the end of month Medley Stableford in Stanthorpe last Saturday. Pickering was the mainstay scoring 34 of the points while Leigh added the extra 15 points to the score to hand them the win.

A major count back was required to determine the runner's up after four teams returned to the club house with scores of 44 points.

It was the team of Ron Batterham and Scott Constable that eventually got the nod.

The teams of Nikki Waterworth and Brendan Barker, Lorraine Evans and Max Hunter and Linda Kelly and Aaron Simmers forced to settle for mention in the run down.

The pin shots at three and 12 went the way of Brendan Barker. Mark Hendry held on at 17. Racheal Hendry collected the ladies pin at three, Annelle Batterham at 12 and Kay Webb at 17. David Reeves held the pro-pin at 1/10, Mike McAuliffe at 5/14 and Scott Constable collected at 9/18. The birdies nest at 6 was shared with Matt Burgess, Brendan Barker and Keith Jones all holing out for four.

Darryl Boekholt sponsored the day and got plenty of accolades for his excellent work at the presentation as well as his sponsorship.

The BBQ lunch was much appreciated.

Special thanks to Margaret for her work on the hotplate.

DRAG CHALLENGE COMES TO WARWICK The Warwick Dragway will play a significant role in the Drag Challenge Weekend this weekend. The street Machine Challenge is the toughest street car event on the Australian drag racing calendar and the three-day version returns to Queensland over the May long weekend and will be held between the Willowbank Raceway and Warwick Dragway. Over a hundred street cars from across Australia are expected to compete.

The quickest of these cars run in the seven-second zone however Drag Challenge Weekend isn't just about speed. The cars and drivers have to negotiate a 700km long road course as they work their way from Willowbank to Warwick Raceway and back to Willowbank.

The premise simple; every entrant has to make at least one pass at each track. It is three days, three tracks and plenty of road miles in between. There are no car trailers or support vehicles. Drag Challenge Weekend is a gruelling event that places huge demands on both entrants and their vehicles.

The majority of the entries will come from Queensland however there will be a number of entrants from New South Wales and Victoria, plus a few from South Australia and even Tasmania.

Entries are still open and there are eight classes to choose from. For those who want to just come along and check out the action it's only $20 per day and kids under 13yo are free. Weekend passes are also available for $70 and score a free t-shirt.

The programme: Friday May 3 Registration; Willowbank Raceway Saturday May 3 - Day 1, Willowbank Raceway; Sunday May 5 - Day 2 Warwick Dragway: Monday May 6 - Day 3 Willowbank Raceway. Gates open at 7.00am. For more

In the TRL A Grade Warwick Cowboys and Wattles Warriors have set the benchmark for other clubs in the early rounds of the competition.

They share the lead on the points table after five rounds and last weekend each team scored good wins.

In an historical Anzac Day fixture, the Cowboys remain undefeated this season scoring a comprehensive win over the Gatton Hawks in front of a huge crowd at Cahill Park Sporting Complex.

The Cowboys capitalised on a mistake riddled first half by the Hawks and led 16-4 at half time with tries to Matt Marshall, Ben Sullivan and Coedie Tandy.

Sullivan turned in a brilliant performance which no doubt contributed to his selection in the Clydesdale Rep side. He continually turned the Gatton side around with excellent runs out of dummy half.

Matt Marshall and Sam Broomhall both played well for the Cowboys. Marshall had his opposition guessing and confirmed he can play in any position. He covered for an absent Joe Fuimaono. Broomhall is putting his mark on the competition he left in 2016 showing he has lost nothing.

Warwick 38 (Ben Sullivan 2, Matt Marshall, Coedie Tandy, Harry Sullivan, Craig Donn, Paul Cantwell tries Matt Marshall 3, Mitch Watson goals) defeated Gatton 10 (Brayden Mitchell, Hayden Lipp tries Luke Nolan 1 goals).

Gatton was successful in Reserve Grade; Under 18's and the Second Division games.

At Herb Steinhort Oval Wattles gave the current premiers Valleys plenty to contemplate on Sunday when they handed them a comprehensive 34-18 reality check.

Coach and player Travis Burns earning the Hutchies man of the match Award for his efforts.

Wattles again began slowly and Valleys led 12-4 early in the game before Wattles bench player Jordan Henry barged over to make the score 12-10 at half time.

Although both sides threw everything at each other in the first half Travis Burns led his side well and had his troops constantly turning the opposition around.

In the second half Travis Burns and his halfback Matt Duggan kept play in Valley's half with Duggan scoring the first of their two 40/20 kicks in the first set of six after the break. Travis Burns was the next to kick a 40/20. Both kicks resulted in tries to coCaptain Dale Perkins and Michael Pearson.

The score 22-12.

It was no place for the feint hearted as both packs of forwards were ferocious in defence.

CASEY O’CONNOR

Burns used his experience to control the second half and made it difficult for Valleys to get into the game.

It was an important win for the Warriors.

And a complete display.

Wattles 34 (Brayden Wilson 3, Jordan Henry, Dale Perkins, Michael Pearson tries Matt Duggan 5 goals) defeated Valleys 18 (Zac Miles, Denzel Burns, Dylan Chown, Dwayne Duncan tries Dwayne Duncan goal).

Valleys were successful in Reserve Grade and Under 18's.

In the Clive Berghofer Second Division game Stanthorpe after almost a month without a game showed they are a force to be reckoned with scoring an impressive 30-16 win. Coach Megsie Irwin said it was a good win for the side made up of mostly young players given they had not played since March 30.

Gremlins hooker Connor Hartley Simpson played well scoring a double in the sides third win this season in as many outings. Unfortunately, due to the draw they do not play again until May 18 when they will host the Goondiwindi Boars.

Despite the weeks between games the Gremlins are showing great commitment and have plenty of support from sponsors and supporters.

Stanthorpe 30 Valleys 16.

BIG WIN FOR REDDIES It wasn't just the Rugby League boys who were successfully flying the flag on the Southern Downs last weekend. The Warwick Redbacks scored a massive 109-point win over the Toowoomba Tigers.
