MORE TO LOVE The editor’s desk I had the pleasure of catching up with the Rev Ansie Liebengerg and her husband Willie and parishioners of the Warwick Uniting Church for this week's cover story (see pages 4&5). The church is among many which will take part in a 'Pray For Rain' event in a couple of weeks' time across the region. Even if you're not a church-goer or indeed even a 'believer', I think you'd still agree it will be an opportunity for our communities to join together in solidarity and support each other as the long dry continues. 'Critical' level water restrictions take effect this Sunday and while necessary, at time of printing this week the Southern Downs Regional Council was still being less than transparent about specific plans to address a 'day zero' urban water scenario, particularly in the case of Stanthorpe. Again I call on our council to share more information, including the outcome of recent talks with the Queensland Government on emergency assistance with the practical challenge of getting water to Stanthorpe, which remains forecast to run out by January at the very latest.

COWBOYS BOOK A BERTH IN FINAL BY CASEY O’CONNOR The Warwick Cowboys galloped into the 2019 Toowoomba Rugby League (TRL) A-Grade Grand Final last Sunday 25 August at Toowoomba's Clive Berghofer Stadium on the back of a sensational come-frombehind performance. The Cowboys' opponents Valleys Roosters held a commanding 18-4 lead at half time. Many were prepared to write the Cowboys off when the Roosters were the first to score in the second half, extending their lead to 24-4, and Valleys looked to have secured their place in the Grand Final.

Go the Cowboys - all the way to the 2019 TRL Grand Final. A spirited comeback from the Cowboys was led by a Joe Fuimaono try five minutes into the second half. It opened the flood-

gates as the Cowboys went on a try-scoring rampage, adding another three tries unanswered to snatch a 26-24 victory in one

of the most thrilling semi-final clashes seen in many years. The Cowboys now have a week off to prepare for the Hutchies A-Grade Cup Grand Final on Sunday 8 September. Wattles defeated the Dalby Diehards in a gruelling knock-out semi last weekend and now play Valleys in the Preliminary Final this Sunday 1 September. The winner will take their place alongside the Cowboys in the 2019 TRL Grand Final at Clive Berghofer Stadium. From all of us at the Free Times - "Go you Cowboys!!" ●

COUNCIL ASBESTOS CHARGES ADJOURNED - NO COMMENT BY JEREMY SOLLARS The Southern Downs Regional Council is still facing the Warwick Magistrates Court over alleged negligence in relation to asbestos management in 2018. As reported last week the council has refused to confirm or deny if it is facing legal action in relation to top-dressing material spread on the Warwick Central State School Oval, which in August last year was discovered contained asbestos understood to have originated from council waste facilities. Similar top-dressing was also applied to the playing fields at the Collegians Junior Rugby League Club in Warwick, which along with the Warwick State School oval were subsequently remediated. But court documents viewed by the Free Times show the council was issued with a 'Complaint and Summons' in June of this year by Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ) requiring the council's appearance in the Warwick Magistrates Court.

The 'Complaint and Summons' detailed three counts of alleged negligence on the part of the council in relation to asbestos handling and control at its Allora Waste Facility in August last year, which WHSQ claims was in breach of and constituted offences under the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011. The matter was mentioned in the Warwick Magistrates Court on Tuesday of this week, 27 August, and was adjourned to be mentioned again in the court on Tuesday 24 September, with the adjournment requested by the council, which has not yet been required to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty. The council is also facing cost recovery action brought against it by the Queensland Government Insurance Fund (QGIF) relating to the Warwick Central State School asbestos. The Queensland Department of Education and Training (DET) claimed losses associated with the remediation of the Warwick Central State School oval from the

QGIF and the QGIF is in turn seeking to recover costs from the council. A copy of legal advice provided to the council by HWL Ebsworth Lawyers and obtained by the Free Times states that in "about September 2018, the QGIF issued a Notice of Intention to Recover to SDRC in respect of the Loss". The legal advice states a local contractor obtained timber mulch allegedly contaminated with asbestos from the Allora Waste Facility in late 2014 which the contractor used in part to create a "soil blend" later sold to the public, and believed to be the source of the material applied to the Warwick Central State School oval and the Collegians playing field. But the legal advice goes on to state that the QGIF action "must fail at law" because the council and DET were "not parties to any mutual contract" and that the QGIF "has failed to establish that the source of the School Contamination was the (Allora)

Waste Facility". The council has also called tenders for the remediation of sections of three of its waste facilities where asbestos is located - at Warwick, Allora and Killarney - at a likely considerable cost to ratepayers. The tenders were due to close today, Thursday 29 August. Mapping associated with the tender documents indicates the locations requiring remediation are well away from areas accessed by the public during the normal course of household waste disposal and the documents do not suggest there is a risk to public health. The tender documents publicly available on the Queensland Local Government 'Tenderbox' website state that all three of the waste facility sites "currently have asbestos issues that need to be remediated" and that the council "is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to remediate the sites". ●

COUNCIL OFFERED A STAKE IN EMU SWAMP DAM BY JEREMY SOLLARS The commercial entity behind the proposed Emu Swamp Dam for Stanthorpe has written to the Southern Downs Regional Council offering future "emergency supply" water from the dam at no capital cost to ratepayers. Granite Belt Irrigation Project chairman Dan Hunt wrote to Mayor Tracy Dobie in mid-July making a formal approach for the council to become involved in the Emu Swamp Dam project, with the council having to date steadfastly maintained ratepayers should not be burdened with any costs related to the dam's construction. The Queensland Government announced in the first week of August it would commit $13.6 million for Emu Swamp Dam, in addition to $47 million from the Federal Government and $23.4 million committed by Granite Belt primary producers. The Queensland Government funding announcement - which has conditions attached - meant the last major hurdle

towards funding of the new dam had been cleared by Granite Belt Water Limited, which is now the dam's 'proponent', having taken over that role from the Stanthorpe and Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce. In his letter to Cr Dobie Granite Belt Irrigation Project chairman Dan Hunt outlined three options for the council, the first of which would be for the council to "access water that could be made available ... for 'emergency supply' only ... subject to operational terms and conditions" and requiring "no (council) contribution toward the capital cost of the Dam, however the Southern Downs Regional Council would be responsible for any cost associated with accessing this water". The council has also been given the option of participating in the Emu Swamp Dam project as "a customer/investor with the ability to use or deal with the associated allocation in the best interests of the community and council". Finally the council could elect to not participate at all. A response from the council has been

requested by 20 September 2019. Emu Swamp Dam - expected to be completed in 2022 - has identified that it could lease 1500ML of unallocated State reserve for urban supply from the Queensland Government and has commenced negotiations with the council about its future urban water needs. The council previously identified its long term requirements in its submission on the Water Plan. Stanthorpe currently uses less than 600ML per year out of the 1150ML allocation the council has in Storm King Dam. Emu Swamp Dam would be primarily used for irrigation purposes and is forecast to provide an annual $67.9 million increase in 'gross farm production' on the Granite Belt and 40% increase in water availability annually. The council wrote back to the Granite Belt Irrigation Project in the first week of August requesting a joint meeting with the Queensland Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy to "undertake full consideration of (council's) options",

without committing to acceptance of the "future emergency supply" water. No date has yet been set for such a meeting. The State Government's funding conditions for Emu Swamp Dam include · The proponent being able to secure access to sufficient water entitlements. This will involve discussions with local stakeholders and securing environmental approvals. · Appropriately qualified and expert engineers reviewing and endorsing the design of the dam and distribution network · The Queensland Government having input into the choice of expert reviewers and the design and delivery process · The proposed owner, Granite Belt Water, providing information about the ongoing viability of the proposal and the business to allow State Government to undertake due diligence assessments · That if construction contracts cannot be signed for $84 million, the viability of the project will be reconsidered. ●

“ONE DAY

CLOSER TO RAIN” W ith Southern Downs and Granite Belt residents about to face 'critical' level water restrictions our local churches are looking to the heavens for intervention both literally and spiritually. As of this coming Sunday 1 September the Southern Downs Regional Council will reduce our 'per person, per day' water use target from 120 to 100 litres, and that could be dropped to 80 litres if 'emergency' level restrictions are later introduced. As of this week the council is still forecasting that Stanthorpe will run out of urban water by January next year at the latest, while Warwick's supplies are predicted to last until December 2020.

Churches across the region will hold an ecumenical 'Pray For Rain' event on Sunday 15 September, as a way of bringing our communities together at a time when the collective resilience of both town and rural dwellers is being tested to its outer limit. Hailing from South Africa, Minister of the Warwick Uniting Church the Reverend Ansie Liebenberg and husband Willie - who is Associate Minister and Chaplain of The Scots PGC College in Warwick - know all too well the toll dry conditions can take on a community. An El Nino-triggered drought beginning in 2017 led to South Africa's second-largest city - and the country's legislative capital Cape Town, facing its own water 'day zero' in August 2018. But thanks to timely - and very

unseasonable - winter rain its dams rose to more than 75 per cent and 'day zero' for its 4.5 million citizens has been pushed back indefinitely, although extreme water restrictions remain in place with city authorities refusing to become lax on water use. Before arriving in Australia around four years ago to take up their respective posts in Warwick, Ansie and Willie ministered in poor rural communities in South Africa, where daily water use was more like 40 litres per person, in a country with many climatic zones similar to southern inland Queensland and other parts of Australia. "We couldn't even flush the toilet - even now here in Australia our daughters still can't get used to being able to do that," Willie laughs. Earlier this year Ansie and Willie and

their parishioners decided to create a special 'community space' in the grounds of Warwick's Uniting Church, at the corner of Guy and Fitzroy Streets, in the form of 'God's Garden'. What was formerly a rather barren patch of dirt is now a thriving community garden, which is both a place of bounty, peace and contemplation - and a model of minimal water use. Two rainwater tanks have been installed behind the church, funded by both the local parish - which includes the Uniting Churches at Killarney and Freestone - and by the Redcliffe Uniting Church north of Brisbane, the recipient of a bequest from a parishioner in recent times which has in part been used to help their country cousins, and the two churches have enjoyed reciprocal visits of members.

FOR ALL YOUR HEATING AND COOLING NEEDS

freetimes.com.au

''God's Garden'' is a place of welcome and contemplation, as well as a community garden.

''Critical'' level water restrictions take effect this Sunday 1 September.

To say the little rainwater available for the garden is used sparingly is an understatement - it's funnelled directly into the garden's 'boxes' which consist of plastic planting containers encased in timber frames hand-made by handy church members, rather than being sprayed on top. Mulch helps to kept the soil moist and 'God's Garden' grows a remarkable amount of fresh seasonal produce including fruit, vegies and herbs free for picking not just by parish members but the whole Warwick community. But the garden is more than just about fresh food - it's about a message of hope. "In the same way as the Gospels have a message which is kind of back to front and upside down - forgiving your enemies and those who persecute you and so on - the garden came about in a back to front and upside down way," Ansie explains. "A lot of people said we were mad trying to get a garden going in this drought - we got laughed at and people said, 'Nobody's planting anything right now and nothing will grow there'. "But we did it back in South Africa in the last place we lived in which was a shanty town - we used cups of water and we produced the best vegetables in the town. "We have some very handy gardeners here in our parish in Warwick and the garden has really become for us a symbol of hope - taking an empty piece of ground and turning it into a place where anyone in the community can come and spend some time, you don't have to be a member of the church. "We just think of it as a constant reminder that we are one day closer to rain and something to get the community feeling positive. "But it's also simply a place where you

can go and sit down and have some time out. "And you can pull out any weeds while you're there if you like." Warwick's Uniting Church - originally known as St Andrew's - turns 150 years old in 2020 and along with 'God's Garden' and its rainwater tanks, the church itself has been getting some attention with some sections of the roof replaced - and the installation of new guttering. "The new guttering is another example of positive thinking - they are there ready for the rain," Willie said. The Warwick Uniting Church Killarney and Freestone parishes are also serving as a bonding place for farming families, especially at Freestone where the old country church on Freestone Creek Road is the district's remaining place of worship. That church is also undergoing renovation, and regularly welcomes worshippers of all denominations - along with holding monthly Sunday services at 2pm with local dairy farmers in mind. "The resilience of country people is something which has really struck us in the time we've been in Australia," Willie said. "They're struck down by this drought but they're not crushed."

PRAYER DAY ... · The combined churches ecumenical 'Pray For Rain Day' will be held on Sunday 15 September at a variety of convenient locations across the Warwick and Stanthorpe areas, including in Warwick's Leslie Park and at many of our country halls. Keep an eye out in the Free Times for more details closer to the date ... · THE LATEST ON THE REGION'S WATER CRISIS - PAGES 6-8. ●

OUR WATER CRISIS - THE LATEST FACTS BY JEREMY SOLLARS The Southern Downs Regional Council is still holding on to reports prepared by external consultants on emergency water supply plans for the Warwick and

Stanthorpe regions. Earlier this year the council commissioned engineering firms GHD and Bligh Tanner to investigate emergency supply options for urban water, understood to include carting

water into the region from external sources such as Wivenhoe Dam via Clifton - by road or potentially by rail. A council spokeswoman told the Free Times in July the consultants' reports were

expected to form part of the August meeting agenda but they were not included in agenda documents made publicly available online for the August meeting, held yesterday, Wednesday 28 August.

Toowoomba firm Newlands Civil Construction has been engaged to install two one-megalitre tanks at Storm King Dam to receive water brought in for Stanthorpe from outside the region, with that water to be transported to the Stanthorpe water treatment plant via a new section of pipeline connected to the existing trunk water main to the treatment plant. That project is expected to be completed in November. This week the council did announce that Stanthorpe residents would be offered free showers at the Stanthorpe Fitness Centre, with proof of identity and address verification required. August meeting agenda documents also state the council is looking to Killarney as a potential source of emergency water. The August 'Water Contingency Plan' tabled at yesterday's meeting states that "council owns a bore at Killarney and has recently tested it as part of our bore testing program". "This bore is not planned to be used at this stage but will be used in the future if

required to supplement drinking water," the contingency plan states. The Free Times asked the council for details of the location of the Killarney bore but the council declined to comment. It is understood water from the Killarney off-stream storage below the town's treatment plant is being used for roadworks around the region and water from that storage will be used to fill the Killarney and Stanthorpe pools in the near future, after being treated. The council is also currently testing its bore at Allora for emergency urban supply purposes, both for Allora and for Warwick, and for the Allora pool. Water meter reading began across the region on Monday of this week, 26 August, and the council has warned that households using more than 600 litres per property-per day will faces fines. Mayor Tracy Dobie and Deputy Mayor Jo McNally met with Queensland Minister for Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Dr Anthony Lynham last week to discuss emergency water measures for the region

but no announcement has been made as to the outcome of the talks. In her 'Mayoral Minute' in the August meeting agenda Mayor Tracy Dobie said the council "has undertaken a considerable amount of advocacy on water matters over the last several months and we are starting to see the benefits". "Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and the Minister for Agriculture, the Honourable Mark Furner visited the Southern Downs this month to see for themselves how much we are being impacted by the drought," Cr Dobie said. "This visit came about as result of the advocacy we have been undertaking to keep 'front of mind' with the State Government, the need to invest in water infrastructure in our region and to provide emergency support for water carting and water allocations if needed. "We have continued to engage in respectful discussion with Ministers and representatives from the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy as well as the Department of Local Government, Racing and Multicultural Affairs, and had another positive meeting last week with the Honourable Anthony Lynham, Minister for Natural Resources, Mines and Energy. "We have been receiving a considerable amount of media coverage that has assisted us with two sets of messaging: The first is the marketing campaign funded by our Council, our neighbouring Councils and the State Government to help educate our residents on the need for life-long water saving habits, for this and the next generation.

"The message is 'don't let wasting water run in your family' and the advertisements are currently on television, radio, newspapers and social media. "The second is the need to raise awareness with our fellow Queenslanders of how important it is for them to visit our region and spend money to help our economy during this drought. "There is no doubt this message is getting through with increased visitor numbers at recent large events such as Snowflakes in Stanthorpe, Allora 150th Celebrations, Jumpers and Jazz in July and the Historic Leyburn Sprints."

COUNCIL 2020 - WHO’S IN THE RACE? BY JEREMY SOLLARS With the 2020 Southern Downs Regional Council election just a bit over six months away - on Saturday 28 March next year speculation as to who's names will be on the ballot papers is gathering steam. The Free Times last canvassed potential candidates back in May and since then one or two more have popped up as contenders. Local government elections across Queensland are held at the same time across the state every four years, with the last council polls held on Saturday 18 March 2016. Of the 'incumbent' or sitting Mayor and Councillors, several told the Free Times back in May of their intention to nominate for office again in 2020, including Mayor Tracy Dobie, who stated it was her intention to run for the mayoralty again next March. Sitting councillors who also declared their intention in May to run again next year were (in no particular order) -

· Cr Sheryl Windle

Of the remaining sitting councillors, the following statements were provided to the Free Times for this week's story (in order responses were received via email):

· Cr Neil Meiklejohn

· Cr Yve Stocks

NEWS · Ross Bartley "No interest whatsoever at this point in time."

(Note - any current Councillor who nominates for the position of Mayor will be required to relinquish their position as Councillor prior to the election).

MAYORAL CONTENDER So far the only contender for the mayoralty other than Tracy Dobie is Warwick's Bryan Pask (below), who this week confirmed he would be in the race for the top job. Bryan supplied the Free Times with the following statement -

Mayor Tracy Dobie

Cr Vic Pennisi "The community is aware Council is currently dealing with many complex issues and I can confidently say I will continue to focus on representing the people of Southern Downs. I am staying connected to our communities and putting people first, as I always have. Beyond this commitment, I have the wedding of my eldest daughter I am looking forward to in November, a small business I manage with my wife, as well as a number of volunteer commitments that need my time. A decision to stand for future positions will be made by me at some stage in the future, closer to the election date."

Since then, the Free Times has been told a number of others from both the Warwick and Stanthorpe areas are planning on a tilt at councillor, but when contacted some of the responses were, in a nutshell, "No comment - and don't quote me", which we've respected. Others - including some who have previously stood for office - were more forthcoming with statements, and these are as follows (and once again in no particular order) -

"I am Victoria-born, and grew up in Brisbane and have lived in Warwick for the last five years. I have a background in sales, marketing, security, media sales and as a local radio presenter with Rose City FM. I have a life's interest in politics, history and government. I see the current situation to be lacking in drive and vision for the whole area - from The Gap to Wallangarra. My approach is that elected officials should provide the 'forward thrust for the greater good', and the role of the public service is to 'implement'. Water is a big issue and drought-proofing is a high priority, and attracting business to our region and cutting red tape are also of vital importance as far as I am concerned - we are open for business! Residents should also not be 'choked' by rate rises. We also need to have some fun and put our region 'on the map'. I am interested in gaining support from all of the community within the SDRC area - and the buck will stop here!

SOME 'YES', SOME 'NO' ... · Deputy Mayor Jo McNally "I will make my decision closer to the end of the year."

Two councillor contenders who back in May announced their plans to run in March next year were Warwick residents Andrew Gale and Peter Kemp.

HANGAR TO BE LEASED TO FLIGHT SCHOOL BY JEREMY SOLLARS The Southern Downs Regional Council says a new $310,000 hangar to be constructed at its Massie Aerodrome north-west of Warwick will be leased to the proposed tenant, understood to be a pilot training school based in India. As reported in last week's Free Times, the council is calling for public tenders for construction of the hangar - which will include classrooms and kitchen and bathroom amenities - to be located alongside the Massie Aerodrome runway. The funding is from the Queensland Government's 'Works For Queensland' regional infrastructure program but the council has said details of the arrangement with the pilot training school are 'commercial in confidence'. The tenders are due to close next Thursday 5 September and the tender will require construction of the hangar to be completed by Saturday 30 November. The Free Times understands the pilot training school is RMP Aviation, based in the southern Indian city of Chennai in Tamil Nadu State, which intends to bring Indian instructors and student pilots to Australia. The council this week again declined to identify the training school but did state it has obtained the required accreditation from Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). But a CASA spokesman this week told the Free Times CASA has "no record of

A new hangar at the Warwick Aerodrome is understood to be for students from Indian pilot training school RMP Aviation. a flying training company by this name" (RMP Aviation), although the spokesman said it may be a "trading name and not the company name", or "they may not have applied yet". The Free Times forwarded questions about the project to the head office of RMP Aviation in India but no response had been received by time of printing of this week's edition. A council spokeswoman said a planning approval for the new hangar is not required but that the council is "complying with relevant regulations and incorporating best practice throughout the project". When asked what financial contribution the flight training school will make towards the construction of the hangar, or if the aerodrome land and hangar would be leased from the council the spokeswoman said it is "Council's intention to enter into a lease arrangement with the proposed tenant

which will be a commercial tenancy". India's commercial aviation sector is currently going through significant change, with small domestic and international 'economy' airlines - including one backed by Singapore Airlines, Vistara - rapidly growing their market share against government-owned Air India. The tender documents list the following specifications for the new hangar at Massie · A potable water supply requiring a "Commercial grade Ultraviolet Water Treatment System" · Design and construct a new hangar 24m wide x 23m depth · 2 x classrooms · 3 x briefing rooms · 1 x lunch room including a kitchenette · 2 x storage rooms · 1 x bathrooms 1 x fire wall. · Concrete floor. · Lockable storage cupboard for storage of cleaning materials. · An on-site soil evaluation and design is to be obtained by the contractor to determine on-site sewerage treatment plant requirements. · Supply and install one on-site septic system capable of processing waste from showers and toilets · Supply, install and connect 2 x 50,000 gallon poly rainwater tanks with filter, commercial grade Ultraviolet Water Treatment System, pumps and all necessary fittings, connected to the ablution facility to ensure potable water is available. · Stormwater to existing infrastructure ●

There's a new locomotive on the block at the Warwick Railway Precinct thanks to funding Southern Downs Steam Railway Association received from the Southern Downs Regional Council. A council spokeswoman said the Southern Downs Steam Railway Association received $50,000 from SDRC in the 2019/2020 Budget. "This grant was provided by SDRC to boost tourism and attract visitors to the region," the spokeswoman said. "Fittingly named 'Spirit of the Southern Downs', the new diesel locomotive is a welcome addition to the fleet and will bolster the timetable of train tours on the region's popular tourist railway." Mayor Tracy Dobie said the heritage railway tours on the Southern Downs and Granite Belt are a "unique experience and showcase the region's rich culture and history". "The heritage railway tours have long been enjoyed by young and old alike," Cr Dobie said. "Council believes in the Southern Downs and Granite Belt as a tourist destination and wants to support and invest in the growth of the industry. "The heritage railway is a great way to motor through the region and discover our picturesque countryside and sample award winning Granite Belt wines and fresh local produce. "There's already so much to see and do in our region, and the addition of the new locomotive and rail tours at the Warwick Railway Precinct gives tourists yet another reason to visit the Southern Downs and Granite Belt." The Southern Downs Steam Railway offers regular tours from Warwick to Wallangarra, Clifton, Wheatvale, Hendon, Toowoomba, Goondiwindi, Tenterfield and Stanthorpe.

Now is the Time to Live Your Best Life in Retirement With the uncertainty surrounding the Federal Election behind us and the Coalition back in office, now is the perfect time to make the move and secure your retirement future. When it comes to retiring, you want to enjoy life, not take on more added stress. This is why Oak Tree’s Warwick Retirement Village cares about making your move easy and being there every step of the way. Making the move to live with Oak Tree Retirement Villages leaves you with more time to enjoy your brand-new home, make new friends, and manage your financial future. Boasting a ‘worry free’ living model, residents can enjoy peace of mind every step of the way, with Oak Tree supporting you throughout the whole process from selling your old property to settling into your new home in the Village. Oak Tree helps residents gain more from their retirement, with affordable one, two and three-bedroom homes located within a smaller boutique-sized community. Purpose-designed for seniors wanting to remain living independently and with like-minded neighbours, the gated community offers a complete lifestyle experience with low maintenance living, peace of mind, security, and a sense of belonging. “We find that many residents choose to move into an Oak Tree Retirement Village because they’re looking for

a lower maintenance and stress-free lifestyle without compromising their quality of living. “Quite often the family home has become too big, the yards and gardens are increasingly more difficult to maintain, and the house is more challenging to clean,” Managing Director, Mark Bindon says. “We want our residents to be able to transition to a brand new and more manageable style of home, leaving them with more time to enjoy life and the things that matter – family and friends.” Mr Bindon says being part of a community also makes it easier to meet new friends, discover new hobbies and finally be free to do the things you want to do. “Our Village Community Centre is a perfect space to catch up with your friends, challenge your neighbour to a game of chess or bridge, have a swim, bowl or just take a relaxing walk,” he says. Oak Tree also offers affordable weekly service fees, which cover external maintenance and repairs to assist seniors with budget planning and provide inancial security. It’s time to stop thinking about ‘when’ and start living your new, best life today. Don’t hesitate. It’s time. Take that irst step towards your new life at Oak Tree Retirement Village Warwick by calling 1300 367 155 or visiting oaktreegroup.com.au

GARDEN TIME

BEATRICE HAWKINS

‘VOLUNTEER’ HELPERS IN THE GARDEN I love volunteers! Where would we our community be without them? Those helpful ones that make life better and fill in the gaps! Well, my garden is full of volunteers. Not the two-legged human variety that help weed or mow lawns or landscape and tidy my yard, although from time to time I certainly do have that help, but a variety of volunteer plants! Even with this awful dry that continues to beset us and the horrendous, but necessary, water restrictions that are decimating gardens, I have a range of wonderful volunteer plants that keep popping up in unexpected places. The only water my garden has had for months now has been the very limited rain we've received and the grey water from my washing machine. However, each time I look I find something new to marvel at and anticipate the flowers that will appear over the next few months. The first of the daffodils that I planted a few years ago are flowering at present. I really thought, when I saw the leaves poke through a while back, that that would be all I would see this year, but last week I saw flower spikes start to emerge and now I have a beautiful sunshiney yellow bloom with

more to come over the next few days. Sweet Alice (Alyssum) is everywhere and continues to self-seed and fill in the gaps even in the driest beds. The spectacular peony poppies my granddaughter sent me some years back from WA, are covering spots with lovely grey green foliage and promising a show later on and a feast for the bees. They have spread, thanks to the wind, to other beds so should provide a lot of colour this year. I found on the internet, and bought a while back some different colours but have not put them in due to the dry. Maybe I should risk it now that I see so many red ones coming up. I have white and an almost black variety that would look stunning amongst the deep red. The Hippeastrums that I rescued from

certain destruction in a bed that was being bulldozed at my son's house, are once again pushing green foliage up and promising a red and white display later on. Filling in some other gaps are numerous little white miniature chrysanthemum daisies and even some petunias. The day lilies are still surviving along with the lavender that is attracting lots of wanderer butterflies and bees. While they can't really be considered volunteers, they delight my heart with their sheer tenacity and persistence... they qualify as true Aussies in my book! The spectacular "Black and Bloom" salvia that I planted a few years back is sending up new shoots when I thought all hope of survival was gone. I am certainly learning what will survive and give me joy in this climate in such a dry time. Over the last many months nurseries would all be out of business if they were relying on me for custom as I have not bought a plant and doubt that I will until we get some relief from this dry and water in our dams. It is a delight though to see all the things - the volunteers - that are appearing in my garden with the very limited amount of water and care that they have been given.

One thing we, as gardeners, must not forget, is to make sure there are some containers of water about for the bees, butterflies and birds. Even the crows have been coming to my birdbath for a drink each morning! Don't forget the forthcoming garden competition and spring flower show in October and remember that everyone is in the same situation as you are with regard to water, so don't be afraid to plan to enter. I know that unless we get rain soon, my lawn will look as terrible as it does now, but I am hopeful of having some colour in the garden beds by then. A nice green lawn is a great foil to a garden bed full of colour but that will not be a possibility without substantial rain in the next few weeks. As I am going to be away (again!) for quite a while visiting family in WA, the volunteers will have to keep working for me and I will definitely be continuing to pray for rain as my garden will not even be receiving the washing water. Wild flowers will be out while I am in WA and, as I am taking my camera with me, my long suffering grandchildren will have to put up with many stops in the car when I see something that I just must photograph! ●

THE SPIN

WHAT A SPECTACLE OF THE SPORT What a game; What a win; What a loss; What a spectacle. We have just witnessed one of the greatest Test matches ever played and do not for one moment allow anyone to tell you Test Cricket is a dying form of the game of Cricket. Of course, I am speaking about the third Ashes Test at Headingly Now the official grave yard of defending the run chase. Unlike many others I refuse to see this as a terminal loss by Australia. Set 358 in their second innings to claim an unlikely win the Poms headed into day four chasing what was in essence a oneday target. Having claimed the World Cup only a few weeks ago thee Poms have some form in chasing down these targets. Obviously, Johnny Bairstow, Ben Stokes and Jack Leach are not intimidated by history and or record run chases. It was just a remarkable game. Boris Johnson the newly minted British PM should be looking over his shoulder because right now the Poms would install Stokes as PM tomorrow after his heroics. If he could snatch that win from the jaws of defeat, I doubt leaving eh EU should prove a problem. Although to be fair he did have some help along the way. The Aussies were not at their brilliant best. Probably a hangover from dismissing Stokes and his mates for 67 in the first innings. Now that was never going to happen again. We were not at our best in the field either. But the elephant in the room all through the Test series to date has to be the abysmal performance of the Umpires. That Stokes was not given LBW was a travesty. Let's forget about reviews and whether or not we should still have had one in the bag. It was a howler. Umpires are there to do a job and, on this occasion, and with so much at stake they clearly didn't do theirs. I notice somewhat ironically that Spec Savers are a major sponsor of this series. Book that man an appointment along with an urgent refresher course on the laws of the game. Of course, had Lyons not fluffed a fairly simple run out opportunity we would not be discussing another Umpire blunder. And now the knives are out for members of the Aussie team inlcdu8ign the captain. What a difference one run can make. What is that saying - Winners have a party and Losers have reviews. Think there will be few of those in the Aussie camp in coming days. In the meantime, I am enjoying catching up on some shut eye and weaning myself off black coffee. While my offsider though also devastated at the result, is totally delighted at "Lamb Shanks" performance. You'd think she had selected him. Oh well bring on Game four. - Casey COWBOYS GALLOP INTO TRL GF The Cowboys galloped into the 2019 TRL grand final on the back of a sensational come from behind performance at Clive Berghofer Stadium on Sunday night. The Cowboys opponents, Valleys Roosters held a commanding 18-4 lead at half time. Many were prepared to write the Cowboys off when the Roosters were the first to score in the second half extending their lead to 24-4. The Roosters looked set for another grand final appearance. 18 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES

The game began brilliantly for the Roosters. Captain Hnaloan Budden opened the scoring when he crashed over after the Cowboys conceded a penalty. It was to be the story of the first half. Valleys had the bulk of possession and a far superior completion rate as the Cowboys turned over the ball and gave up good field position with penalties. Mitch Watson who was one of Warwick's best put his side on the board when he finished off a great move by Joe Fuimaono and scored out wide to level the scores at four all. The Roosters snatched the lead shortly after when a chip kick from Ben Cook landed in the arms of Dwayne Duncan. Despite some stiff defence he was able to score under the black dot. Shortly after the referee deemed a Roosters player had been held back close to the line and awarded a penalty. The Roosters elected to take the kick and Duncan converted to give the Roosters a 12-4 lead. As the half time siren sounded the Roosters added to the Cowboys woes when Craig Donn failed to hold on to the ball from a kick and it bounced neatly in the arms of the Valley's captain. Budden strolled through the defence and with the successful conversion his side took an 18-4 lead. The Roosters looked set to make another grand final appearance and opened the second half where they left off. Just minutes after the game resumed the Valley's captain was in for his third try and the lead extended to 24-4 with another successful conversion. Warwick tightened up their defence and looked to have eliminated many of the errors from the first half. They hit back several minutes later with a crafty play from Joe Fuimaono who dived over from dummy half to score. The successful conversion reduced the margin to 24-10 and Warwick began a remarkable comeback. It opened the flood gates as the Cowboys went on a try-scoring rampage adding another three unanswered tries. Two successful conversions off the boot of Matt Marshall allowed the Cowboys to snatch victory in one of the most thrilling semifinal clashes seen in many years. The final score 26-24. Prior to the game I spoke with Cowboy's captain Mick Bloomfield who was confident his side could conjure a win and go straight through to the final. I doubt even he envisaged the game would pan out the way it did. Hats off to the Cowboys who showed great self-belief in throughout the second half. Following the win, Mick Grew, Cowboy' Coach paid tribute to Bloomfield's leadership following the gutsy win. Grew says Bloomfield has matured as both a leader and player this season. It was no surprise that Coedie Tandy who came up with some brilliant individual plays during the game was named Players Player. The Cowboys now have a week off to prepare the grand final on September 8. It will be a big couple of weeks for the cowboy's who despite making several grand final appearances last lifted the TRL premiership in 1988. Their opponents will be decided this week when Wattles and Valleys meet in the preliminary final. WARWICK 26 (Mitch Watson 2, Joe Fuimaono, Craig Donn, Mathew Marshall

Some of the Action from Mens' Senior Warwick v Cunningham last Sunday during the Warwick Rose Bowl Polocrosse Carnival. tries; Marshall 3 goals) defeated VALLEYS 24 (Hnaloan Budden 3, Dwayne Duncan tries; Duncan 4 goals) CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION There was plenty of excitement and cause for celebration at the Stanthorpe Golf Club during last Saturday's stroke event when local player Keith Jones slotted a hole in one at the 12th. When the celebrating was done and dusted, Jones' major at 12 proved the difference between first and second place. He completed his round with a score of nett 67 finishing two ahead of Greg Fraser and Reno Piovesan (69). After the mandatory count back Greg Fraser snatched the runner's up spot and Piovesan was forced to settle for a spot in the run down. Shaneen McLellan cleaned up the Ladies event when she returned a sub-par round of nett 72. McLellan played a very even round with only a couple of holes over par and finished five shots clear of runner up Nikki Waterworth (nett 77). It was an excellent win for McLellan and the third consecutive week that Waterworth who is in great form has finished on the ladies' podium. While the mighty Brisbane Lions could not summon a win for long time golfing stalwart Max Hunter the club was very appreciative of his sponsorship of last weekend and for supplying the prizes for the round. Max Hunter. Perhaps Max's Lions are holding out for a Premiership. Keith Jones' hole in one naturally landed him the Pin at 12. He was also had the closest to the tee on 17. To round out an excellent day he also featured in the pro-pins collecting the balls on offer at 1/10. There were a few scraps left for others. Len Leigh held the pin shot at three and the remaining pro pins were won by Matt Waterworth at 5/14 and Stephen Kay at 9/18. Lyn Ludlow held the ladies' pin a three and Helen Jones followed the standard set by Keith and had the best approach at three. Annelle Batterham had best approach at 1 and the birdies nest at six went untouched. In the run down, Reno Piovesan, Darryl Boekholt, Hayden Smith, Ian Harvey and Mark McCosker each collected a ball in the men's comp. Kay Webb, Helen Jones and Linda Kelly had a ball each in the Ladies event. A reminder to all those members who may or may not have been studiously checking the club programme; the men's and ladies foursomes' championships are

just around the corner. They Commence on Sunday September 8. The alternate shot event will be played over 27 holes and competition begins at 9.30 am following Sporters. The time for the championship has been posted at the club house so it is time to arrange your partners and get your names on the list. Of course, before we get, to that this Saturday the club hosts the Howard and Sons golf day. As it is the last Sunday of the month (and there goes August out the door), play will be a medley 4BBB Stableford. It is a shot gun start and tee off is from 11.45am. Players are asked to register by 11.25 am to give the starter ample time to arrange starting positions for the field. There is also a time sheet for this event on the board at the club house. WATTLES STILL ALIVE Wattles hopes of an appearance in the 2019 Premiership are still alive after a gutsy win in a high scoring game against the Dalby Diehards last Sunday at Clive Berghofer Stadium. Wattles won a torrid battle 36-30 after 80 minutes of top-class football. Dalby put first points on the board shortly after kick off when five eighth Travis Babbington scored to give the Diehards a 4-0 lead. Dalby looked certain to extend that lead when Corey Blades intercepted a ball. In the play that followed, only a desperate tackle from Wattles fullback Andrew Richardson who was able to hold Kruse Turner up over the line saved the day. Duggan's towering kicks were proving a problem for Dalby and another error allowed Travis Burns to put Ty Gardner into a hole and give Wattles a 6-4 lead. Michael Pearson try extended the lead shortly after and at the 23-mark Wattles held a 12-4 lead when Duggan's pin point kicking added the extras. Richardson was in for his second within minutes after Burns notched up another try assist. When Ty Gardner crossed for his second try Burns had his third try-assist of the evening, giving Wattles a commanding 24-4 lead. With half-time in sight Burns was orchestrating play beautifully in conjunction with Duggan and his forwards. With the lead at 24-4 and only one minute to half time the Diehard's captain Steve Franciscus put his pedal to the metal and streaked away evading defenders to score. With the successful conversion the half time score was 24-10 and Dalby were still in the fight. The game became developed into an arm wrestle in the opening minutes of the second half as neither side was able to get the ascendency. Dalby had a full set of six at Wattles end of the field twenty minutes into the half and they were finally able to break the defence. Fergus Gibson one of the Dalby bench players dived over and scored next to the post. Dylan Taylor converted and the margin was reduced to 24-10. Wattles picked up the intensity and hit back with a good try to Michael Marshall. The Duggan conversion was never in doubt and Wattles skipped away again to a lead 30-16. Dalby was not going to die wondering and were the next to score when Blades put Gaur away for a four pointer and the score was back to 30-20. freetimes.com.au

There would be more twists before the full-time siren with tries to Wattles Brayden Wilson and then Alex Ambia gave the Dalby fans hope when he scored. Off the boot of Duggan Wattles had a 36-24 lead. A try on the point of full time to Dalby's Blake Mara would not have impressed the Wattles' coaching staff. The successful conversion reduced the margin to 36-30 but the game was gone. The Warriors are through to the preliminary final searching for successive grand final appearances in two weeks time. Firstly however, Wattles face Valleys in the Preliminary final this Sunday - a game which many predicted would be the grand final match up. Although it was a good win on Sunday you feel there is still improvement in Wattles who had several players suffering the effects of the flu. One of those, Mitch Koina had solid game especially in the second half. Wattles co captains Dale Perkins and Ryan Duggan showed lead from the front in a solid performance. WATTLES 36 (Ty Gardner 2, Andrew Richardson, Michael Pearson, Michael Marshall, Braydon Wilson tries; Matt Duggan 6 goals) defeated DALBY 30 (Alex Ambia 2, Travis Babbington, Steve Franciscus, Fergus Gibson, Mike Gaur tries; Dylan Taylor 2, Blake Mara goals) WHITE ON TARGET We are pleased to once again bring you results from the Inglewood Sporting Shooters Association. Last weekend Monika White won the Action Match Practical event. Filling the minor placings were Stephanie and Ray Dudgeon. Following these event shooters shot some Centrefire Metallic Silhouette on the new club's targets. Again, it was Monika White

who scored best. She out scored Richard White with Stephanie Dudgeon once again in the placings. We look forward to receiving the results of Wednesday's Grumpy Men's Shoot, which is generally a repeat of the weekend programme which is Five Stand Clays 50 pigeons (9.00am) followed by Rimfire Silhouette Pistol (10.00am). A reminder, that visitors are always welcome to join the members at the Inglewood Sporting Shooters range on Bosnjak Road, Yelarbon. Just check out the club's Facebook page. SENIOR'S WEEK CELEBRATED Nine players enjoyed a windy morning of sport to celebrate Senior's Week. Pauline Inglis returned after a long absence and played with Marian Castles and Liz Ellway. The trio scored a comprehensive 11-3 win over their opponents Kathy Hopgood, Judy Lock and -Shirley Page. Marion McCulloch played some excellent long shot in her match against Sharyn Roser and Bev Sullivan but was eventually beaten 13-7. Bev Sullivan top scored in this game. In the second-round games Bev Sullivan and Liz Ellway proved too strong for the pairing of Marian Castles and Marion McCulloch. They scored an 11-7 win. Liz Ellway top scored in this game but bragging rights went to Bev Sullivan after she scored a hole in one. Judy Lock and Sharyn Roser contributed five points each in their 10-5 win over Shirley Page and Pauline Inglis in the other game. It was a good roll up but unfortunately no new players. STRONG WINDS MAKE LIFE DIFFICULT Strong winds did not make for ideal conditions for Ricochet Croquet and kept many players off the court.

CASEY O’CONNOR

Those on the green found the conditions challenging; sometimes a help but more often a hindrance. Andrea Denkewitz and Liz Ellway played well but in an entertaining game were beaten 26-22 by John Draper. Both he and Liz managed some very accurate shots in the testing conditions. Carol Verwey was very accurate with her long shots but her form was not good enough to secure a win in her game against Sharyn Roser. Roser pegged out for a 26-21 win. WINNERS PEG OUT The Association Croquet games last week resulted in both winning sides 'pegging-out' for the maximum score of 26 points. Carol Verwey and Andrea Denkewitz went head to head in a singles match. Andrea had two 'peels' and a break of three hoops in a row which helped her to a 26-21 win. Heather Widderick played a solo hand against Effey Russell and Joy Newman. Both Russell and Newman recorded breaks of two hoops and went on to secure a 26-19 win. GOOD ROLL UP FOR FUND RAISER Last Saturday the Tannymorel Bowls Club hosted the Condamine Medical Centre Charity Bowls Day with all funds raised going to the Q.C.W.A Rural Crisis Fund. There was a great response to the event which saw a full green of players rolling up and plenty more joining in for tea. It was wonderful to see so many different age groups enjoy the day with doctors and farmers and all supporting such a worthwhile the cause. At the end of play there was little between the winners and runner's up. The winning team of Robyn Davis, Jacko Grayson, Reba Thompson and Stu Hoffman scored a 14-6 win over Faye Berry, Marissa

Costello, Glen Muller and Ryan Boal The Runners up Lynton Hudson, Craig Williamson, Krystal Petersen, Jessie Wallace and Vic Anderson played Kate Locke, Damo Boal, Lyn Coleman, Coire and Kyle Ragh. The final score 12-5. In other games Lochy Fritz, Cooper Rafton, Brodie Weier and Jason Fritz (11) had a close game against Will Hudson, Cody Muller, Doug Miller, and Glen Boal (9). James Bryant, Simon Ho, Maddy Weier, Wayne Petersen and Croc scored a 15-10 win over Fraser Grayson, Tash Williamson, Mitch Muller, Steph Shelley and Mick Weier. Bronwyn Bryant, Sean McIsaac, Pricey, and Butzy won a 10-8 tussle against Tony Locke, Scott Milward, Darcy Meek and Cozzie. Abby Petersen, Deb Anderson, Ash Coleman and Bazza Frame scored a 13-9 win in their game against John Davis, Ashton Costello, Shaggs O'Mara and Bretto Grayson. Well done to the organisers and players and the local community who got right behind this worthy cause. There were some great prizes f and the winners and with plenty of raffles there was a chance for everyone to tip in some cash.

Tate, M Holder d S Ford, P Seipelt, D Christensen 19 - 5. T Owens, R Bean, B Christensen d T Prichard, K Blomfield, B Donovan 29 - 11. Max's team won and Bev's were runners up. The First Grade Pennants were fiercely contested last weekend between five district clubs at host club The Summit, the greens were slick and fast and the variable wind on Saturday didn't make bowling any easier, the Summit team won with Warwick East coming second, we came third and Inglewood and Goondiwindi shared the other places, I don't have the cards so I am unable to give you scores. I believe there was a game of Social on Saturday but I don't have the card. The Club Pairs Competition has been drawn and is on the board, I don't have the complete order of play but the only teams to play this Saturday are the following, R Bean and B Christensen v Y Reid and H Gibson. C Johnson and D Christensen v T Seaniger

and M Holder. The other teams will play the following week. Looking ahead we have first round of the Club Pairs Competition and Social on Saturday, Monthly Triples on Tuesday 3rd Sep, Friendly Bowls on Wed 4th, Second Round Club Pairs and Social on Saturday 7th and Jackpot on Wednesday 11th. There will be a special fours charity event and barbecue held on Friday 13th, it was to be held for the Ruhle family for carting our water but they have made it into a charity event and they already have a number of teams from businesses around Warwick so we invite more people to nominate. Final of Club Pairs and Social on Saturday 14th. We welcome visitors to join us on Wednesdays and Saturdays for a 1pm start, names in between 12 and 12.30 at the Club or by phone on 46611516.

Well it has come to pass that we have a lady on our Cock of the Walk perch namely Bev Christensen and some wag has changed the name to Chook of the Walk, I've got a fair idea who it was. Good on you Bev I see you have a couple of challengers. Trevor was the last Cock but he had to pull out so Richard Tartan, a fierce competitor for the crown was beaten by Bev 2 - 4. We played the Roache's Fencing sponsor day on Wednesday and due to the cold and windy afternoon only one team played their stipulated 21 ends, the president laid down the law that in the future you play the designated number of ends or you are out of the running for prizes and I'm sure our games director will be vigilant, so watch out.
