MORE TO LOVE The editor’s desk There is no doubt councillors and officers have kept COVID-19 top of mind when finalising the council budget for 2020-2021 (cover story, pages 4-6). It’s also fair to say that despite the economic climate the budget contains a little over $42 million for capital works. The hope will be that this spending significantly benefits local firms, and it’s a reminder that the task of maintaining and upgrading roads, water infrastructure and other public assets continues. But the hope will also be that the council will exercise compassion when it comes to ratepayers residential, rural and commercial - who are experiencing financial hardship, both COVID-19 and drought-related. Here at the Free Times we’ve tried to look for the positives in the present times, but we also know there are many cases of genuine financial struggle in our communities. For many small businesses in particular the months ahead will bring further financial uncertainty - from a whole-of-community perspective we need to continue to buy local and keep the local economy moving.

BUDGET A ‘MAJOR TOPIC’... The Southern Downs Regional Council has adopted its 2020-2021 financial year budget, the first of the new term of councillors elected to serve from 2020 to 2024. A spokeswoman said this “much anticipated Budget has been the topic of discussion within the media and throughout the community”. “In part because the Southern Downs and Granite Belt have been hit hard by drought, bushfire, and most recently, the COVID-19 global pandemic,” the spokeswoman said. “But also because this is the first budget to be released by the newly elected Councillors. “This Budget sets the direction for Council for the coming 12 months. “The Budget showcases Councillors’, Council’s, and the community’s focus on supporting residents as the region heals and rebuilds.” Mayor Vic Pennisi said the budget was “a collaboration between Councillors, staff, and the community that reflected the vision for upcoming 12 months”. “Councillors and staff have worked exceptionally hard to ensure that this budget includes as many projects to stimulate businesses within the region while still remaining modest and fiscally responsible,” Cr Pennisi said. “Our challenge has been in balancing a conservative budget with the need to stimulate our local economy and provide new infrastructure. “Additionally, Council has heard a record number of community submissions. “This year we received and reviewed 55 submissions from residents and community groups. “Last year by comparison, we had 43 submissions. “It is really great to see the community getting involved in this process. “The 2020/21 Budget includes a zero percent rate rise for the first six months of the 2020/21 financial year, planned new and upgraded infrastructure in our smaller communities and townships, and one of the largest Capital Works Programs of $42.2m. “In response to the pandemic, Council also released a raft of economic initiatives in April to relieve financial pressure on the community as part of a multi-pronged approach to support the region’s recovery. “The first stage of COVID-19 Economic Relief Package offered immediate relief on rates, fees and charges to support residents

and local businesses.” Cr Pennisi said a “fiscally responsible and community minded Capital Works Program of $42.18m was handed down”. “Works and upgrades topped the program with an allocation of $16.9m while water security remained a budget priority with a spend of $14.1m. “Even in times of economic recovery, Council will continue to invest in the region for a sustainable future. “Amid the current challenges and recovery efforts, Council will continue to maintain and deliver infrastructure and services that our community expects and deserves. “The 2020/21 Budget is responsible and realistic in allocating funds towards key infrastructure projects that build a prosperous and sustainable future for our region. “Council is conscious that investing in our infrastructure enhances the region’s

liveability and attracts business and industry to the area. “Council has effectively delivered a zero per cent rate rise until the end of 2020 to support the community and regional economy throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. “The actual rise of 1.9%, the lowest in more than a decade, will be offset by a COVID-19 Concession of 1.9%, which when applied at the time of billing on the rates notice equates to no cost increase to rate payers for the next six months. “The budget focuses on steering the region through the COVID-19 recovery and the concession would provide some immediate financial respite to rate payers. “There is no doubt that our region has felt the effects of COVID-19. In 2020/21, Council has delivered a fiscally responsible budget that accounts for both our recovery and our future. “Offering a concession against the rate

rise for the first six-months of the 2020/21 financial year provides our rate payers with much needed financial assistance as we recover from the crippling effects of COVID-19. “We want to reassure residents that we are listening and are in their corner with them during this unprecedented time. “In addition to the rate concession, Council has revised the billing process. “From 2020/21, rates and utilities notices will be issued together in two, six-monthly instalments. “Residents will still have the option to pay their yearly rates in full if they choose, however this billing change will give them the option to pay smaller twice-yearly payments. “The 7.5% early payment discount period of 60 days remains.” · A DETAILED LOOK AT THE COUNCIL BUDGET - PAGES 4, 5 & 6 ... ●

COVER STORY

Mayor Vic Pennisi, Acting CEO Jane Stroud and Deputy Mayor Ross Bartley. Councillors have paid tribute to SDRC’s officers for their work in compiling the 2020-2021 budget.

BUDGET CLOSE-UP S BY JEREMY SOLLARS

outhern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi says consideration will be given to any ratepayer experiencing financial hardship as a result of COVID-19 - and other factors such as the drought, with the first round of rates notices due to be issued in early August. In adopting the 2020-2021 budget the council says it has factored in measures to help soften the economic impact of the pandemic on the region’s ratepayers, including a zero rate rise for the first half of the financial year. Half-yearly rates and utilities bills have also been introduced but calls for such an arrangement have been made by the community in the past, with many urban and regional Queensland councils splitting up these costs either half-yearly or quarterly. Cr Pennisi has said the rates increase scenario will be “reviewed” for the second half of 2020-2021 - had an increase been included in the first half ratepayers would have seen a 1.9 per cent increase in general and utility rates, with a two per cent general rates rise last financial year. Fees and charges overall - separate to rates and utilities - will increase by 2.8 per cent. A three per cent general rates increase is forecast for each successive financial year ongoing. The council has also extended payment terms for the first round of rates notices

4 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES

from 30 to 60 days - the early payment discount of 7.5 per cent remains - but the mayor says any ratepayers under financial hardship can discuss additional payment terms with council officers. “Whether it’s as a result of COVID-19 or other reasons we always have the ability as council for people to come in and discuss their individual circumstances with us,” Cr Pennisi told the Free Times this week. With COVID-19 clusters re-emerging in southern states over the past several weeks - and Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk saying she will “not hesitate to slam the border shut again” if need be - Cr Pennisi said the local business community continues to be “resilient” in the face of

Thursday, 30 July, 2020

financial challenges associated with the pandemic. He said he has not heard of individual small businesses in the region being forced to close permanently but said there continue to be “mixed emotions” in the local business sector, and the community as a whole remains concerned at any prospect of another full-scale lockdown should COVID-19 re-emerge in significant case numbers in Queensland. “I walked up the street in Stanthorpe last Saturday morning and of the eight or so business owners I spoke to they either said they’re having a great month, or at least a better month than the same time last year,” Cr Pennisi said.

“This is the Granite Belt’s peak tourist season so that’s very positive to hear. “But we know there are businesses out there who will be hurting, particularly food businesses and one thought in my mind is can we look at relaxing the footpath dining regulations if that might be of help. “As far as the border goes certainly people are concerned and there’s a lot of apprehension, especially given we are an ageing population and there’s a lot of people in that vulnerable age group. “On a sliding scale I’d say eight out of 10 people feel the border should be closed fully if we’re to get a second ‘spike’ in Queensland - closing the border would be far preferable to a full lockdown.” freetimes.com.au

‘KEY ASSUMPTIONS’ Council budget papers show a number of ‘key assumptions’ about the SDRC’s financial circumstances over the course of the 2020-2021 financial year have been made by councillors and officers. “In preparing the budgeted Balance Sheet for the year ended 30 June 2021 it was necessary to make a number of assumptions about key assets, liabilities and equity balances,” the budget papers state. “The key assumptions are as follows · The collection of rates and charges in 2020-2021 will be similar levels to previous years · Trade creditors increase slightly while other creditors and debtors are to remain consistent with 2019-2020 levels · Proceeds from the sale of property in 2020-2021 will be received in full in 20202021 if applicable · Employee entitlements are to slightly increase. No increase in the average rate of leave taken is expected however the provisions for such have been amended · Total capital expenditure is to be $42.18 million · A COVID-19 concession to be applied to all rates and utilities charges of 1.9%” The council says it will pay $1.7 million off its total debt this financial year to leave just over $16 million, having last borrowed $5 million from the Queensland Treasury for the Allora town water pipeline in the 2013-2014 financial year, with no further borrowings planned at this time. The 2020-2021 budget will deliver a ‘net’ or ‘adjusted underlying surplus’ of just $34,000, as compared with $447,000 last financial year. On the revenue side the council expects to achieve $346,000 from sales of land and equipment, primarily made up of land sales in the Stanthorpe Industrial Estate and older fleet vehicles, and ‘surplus’ freehold land parcels - but the budget papers do not provide a list of those sites.

MAYOR’S BUDGET STATEMENT 2020/21 It is with a great amount of pride and humility that Council presents its first budget for the new term of what is being referred to as the “next generation Council”. This Council, made of Generation X or Baby Boomer Councillors, will be one of the first making changes for an additional group of residents, Generation Z, who are just starting out their journey as adults. Similarly, this budget is the first in a series of budgets that will guide Council’s choices. As the 3rd decade of the 21st Century begins, it is also the first budget in a ‘new normal’ that we all are struggling to understand and adapt to. Under recent Local Government legislative changes it is no longer the Mayor’s budget, but rather the Council’s budget. Councillors and staff have worked together to deliver as soft a budget as we can and I commend each and every one on their tireless and selfless contribution in unprecedented and challenging times. They have been without a doubt my inspiration and I admire their loyalty to you and this organisation. This budget has been built on a genuine understanding of the difficult times being experienced within the community. The highlight for me is the freetimes.com.au

Employee costs are forecast to increase by $606,000 in 2020-2021, primarily resulting from staff pay increases under Enterprise Bargaining Agreements finalised in 2019. A total of $8 million in funding from the State Government’s Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA) has been factored into the budget relating to flood damage in the region in February of this work that has been done to deliver a zero net rate rise across all general rates, and utility charges whilst maintaining, albeit small, but none the less, a surplus. Every ratepayer in Southern Downs will benefit from this strategy set by your local representatives. Our COVID 2 Recovery Stimulus will focus on relieving pressure within the region with some targeted support, with the aim to give as much relief as we can. I know that we have a war chest of sorts and there is potential and a temptation to access the funds within this vault. We have succeeded in not giving into temptation by simply focusing on not going backwards, not adding as much as we would like to reserves for this year, to deliver a Zero rate rise and a surplus. A clean, no-nonsense soft, and without frills, budget. We are unaware of the future in relation to the pandemic spiking again, and we are acutely aware that we will need much more into the future as the looming infrastructure cliff gets some long needed attention. We will need every cent we can find to maintain one billion dollars’ worth of assets into the future, and we are acutely aware that it’s your money that has been saved, your money that gets spent, and your money we will need to replace what is spent.

RATES COVID has been in the front of mind for Councillors whilst developing this

year - the Free Times queried the damage bill, with a spokeswoman saying “the total amount will not be fully known until such time as the Queensland Reconstruction Authority notifies Council of the approved work to be undertaken to repair the damage”. Watch that space - and more budget analysis next week ... in the meantime here’s the council’s budget overview announcements ... budget, and in response Council is proposing that for the first 6 months of the new financial year ratepayers will receive a rate increase that equates to 0%. There are some mechanics behind doing this, and as such Council will levy a 1.9% rate rise but then will apply a corresponding concession to balance that rise back to nil. This initiative will provide financial support to our residents through these trying times. Council will also be changing the way in which we levy the general rates and the utility rates. Previously these have been levied at different times of the year with the general rates all in advance at the start of the financial year and then two separate utility levies. We’ve listened to the feedback that this is somewhat confusing and messy for our ratepayers so we will be introducing the issuing of two half year levies for general rates and utility charges. Please note that the water consumption notices will still be issued separately as these charges are based on the amount of water a property uses. We recognise that our community has experienced a number of challenges over the past several years with a harsh and prolonged drought, the bushfires and now the COVID pandemic. To help support our ratepayers Council will continue to offer a 7.5% discount on general rates and provide an extended discount period of 60 days for the half yearly rate notice.

The council has budgeted $14.1 million for water capital works projects in 20202021.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE BUDGET Council provides a wide range of services to residents and businesses throughout the region, including roads, water, sewerage, waste management, parks, libraries, and saleyards, just to name a few. In recent years Council has invested in critical infrastructure such as roads, water, facilities and buildings, and this will continue in 2020/21. The Budget has dedicated significant funds towards upgrading and renewing our water infrastructure as Council continues to develop long-term strategies for water security. This Budget sees the largest Capital Works Program in many years, totalling $42.18m. Having said that, the bucket is never big enough so the information in the capital budget has been presented by way of priority. At the time of preparing this Budget, we are mindful that there are a number of projects that Council has lodged funding applications for and these remain unannounced at this point in time. As I said earlier and like many other Councils across the State, Southern Downs has significant amounts of aging infrastructure across the region. It is critical that adequate funds are allocated to upgrading and maintaining these assets. Continued next page

GAP INSPECTIONS BY JEREMY SOLLARS The Department of Transport and Main Roads says it continues to carry out “weekly inspections” of the cliff face above the highway at Cunninghams Gap following extensive rock falls in early 2020 which saw closures of the highway and significant transport disruption. But TMR says it is still investigating the need for removal of any currently unstable sections of the cliff as has been done in the past. Large-scale rock falls in January were attributed to instability caused by bushfires in late 2019 and early 2020, along with heavy rain in mid-January. The Free Times this week asked TMR for an update on the status of safety works at the Gap, specifically if any further removal of sections of unstable rock is scheduled between now and the end of this year. We received the following response from a departmental spokesman “Our contractors continue to carry out ongoing maintenance and weekly inspections of the Cunningham Highway at Cunninghams Gap following completion of emergency repairs to severe bushfire damage,” the spokesman said. “A temporary steel barrier and reduced speed limit remain in place for the safety of motorists until permanent repairs are undertaken. “We continue to gather further detail on the extent and severity of damage. “This will help develop a permanent solution to repair the extensive damage

Rock falls at the Gap in January due both to bushfires and rainfall caused significant road closures. caused by fallen trees, rock falls and destabilisation. “Since January 2020, specialist consultants have produced detailed mapping of the fire-affected areas and completed initial geotechnical assessments of the slopes. “Detailed ground investigations will soon begin and will involve an extensive survey of the slope. “This will include drilling for rock and soil samples that will inform how we permanently repair stability issues. “Eligible reconstruction works are jointly funded by the Commonwealth and Queensland Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).” TMR has previously reiterated that the Gap is “a known high rockfall area with a unique topography, therefore stabilisation works are quite complex and require detailed planning and execution”. ●

TANK REBATE ‘BALLOT DRAW’ The Southern Downs Regional Council says it received “an overwhelmingly positive response to the Rural Water Tank Rebate”. “Early in 2020, Council received funding from the Federal Government to assist recovery after the 2019 bushfires,” a spokeswoman said late last week. “Of the Bushfire Recovery Fund allocated to Council, it was determined that $1.05m would be used to fund the Rural Water Tank Rebate Scheme.” Mayor Vic Pennisi said the Rural Water Tank Rebate Scheme was “welcomed heartily by the community”. “Within our region there are a large number of rural residents who are not connected to the reticulated water system, this Rural Water Tank Rebate Scheme is one way that Council is assisting these landholders,” Cr Pennisi said. “It is important that these residents have sufficient water storage on their properties to catch rain during the good times, to sustain them through times of drought. “While it is each landholders’ individual responsibility to ensure their property meets their needs, Council is acutely aware that the current drought has changed everyone’s thinking in terms of what is enough storage. “As a result, we are doing what we can to support our residents.” The council spokeswoman said expressions of Interest closed on Friday 10 July, and in that time Council received 983 eligible applications, with a ballot to “randomly determine which eligible applications will receive the rebate”. “The funding available is expected to cover almost half of the eligible applications received,” the spokeswoman said. The ballot was due to be carried out earlier this week and successful applicants are expected to be informed in the next few

days either via email or by post. The SDRC spokeswoman said funded applications were to be “picked at random using a computer-generated system”. “Staff kindly advise that you do not need to contact Council to find out if you will be receiving a rebate,” she said. “Written notification advising whether an applicant was successful or unsuccessful in the ballot will be provided to all applicants. “Please allow time for these applications to be processed. “The successful applicants will be notified first. “Please do not order your new tank until you have received written notification from Council that your application has been successful. “At completion of the ballot, all available funds will be allocated in accordance to the prospective tank capacity detailed on the expressions of interest, and there is no scope to increase a rebate payment. “Due to the positive response received, Council will be investigating future options to fund a second round of applications. “For more information on Council news, visit www.sdrc.qld.gov.au/news.

from the craziness in the cities at the moment. Stanthorpe in particular seems to be the beneficiary of that - Warwick to a lesser extent. But certainly a lot people are visiting the region.” Mr Burton believed that a lot of the visitors were coming from the Coast looking for colder weather, big warm fires and the promise of snow. Many would normally head overseas or further afield but with that currently not possible the region had become an even more popular destination at the present time. ●

We’re just finding this seems to be a bit of a haven 12454702-CG29-20

The opening of the NSW border and easing of restrictions has brought a surge in business to the region and a need for additional staff according to one local business owner, Trevor Burton, owner of the Warwick and Stanthorpe McDonalds. “We have a couple of hundred staff and because those people go to uni or finish high school each year we are constantly replacing a few people each month of the year,” he said. “But I guess when late March/April it and

we had to close all of our front counters, business was down quite considerablyabout 30 percent across the board, we stopped hiring. “I guess we didn’t expect that business was going to pick up so vigorously. “I think a lot of that had to do with the fact that tourism seemed to really get a kick in the pants after that and we are certainly seeing the results of that now. “So not only are we looking to replace the staff we lost late last year due to normal attrition but we are also looking to bolster staff because the sales have been so strong

SDRC DEFENDS PUBLISHING PETITION BY JEREMY SOLLARS

(lawful and fair) - it is reasonable for Council to believe the petitioners volunteered their personal information for the purpose of petitioning Council for a specific matter and a degree of personal information (minimum name) is required to fulfil the purpose; · IPP 9—Use of personal information only for relevant purpose - The only use Council has for the personal information is the consideration of the petition. It is reasonable for Council to consider the owner of the personal information provided same for it to be considered as part of the petition process; · IPP 11—Limits on disclosure - It has been standard practice for a significant number of years for petitions to be openly presented to Council and any checking of historical agendas on the public website confirms this. As such under IPP 11(1)(a) “Council is well entitled to believe that petitioners are reasonably likely to be aware that it is the Council’s usual practice to disclose petitions in a public domain. “It is important that residents who wish to sign a petition carefully consider how and to whom their information will be supplied, used, and displayed. “If a resident has privacy concerns they should broach the subject with the lead petitioner. “For residents who do not wish to publicly sign their name to a petition, requests can be submitted to Council anonymously via the My SDRC app or by talking to the appropriate portfolio Councillor.” Dog complaints policy ...

The Southern Downs Regional Council has defended the publication in a meeting agenda of a petition identifying residents who complained about menacing dogs in their street. Residents recently contacted the Free Times with concerns both about the dogs in question but also the possibility for retribution against them by the owner of the dogs after the petition was included in full in a meeting agenda. The petition was signed by nearly 20 residents of the street who recorded their names and addresses on the petition and comments supporting council action over the dogs. But residents who contacted the Free Times say the council should not publish petition details in full where they relate to sensitive matters like dog complaints, arguing discretion should be applied to protect the identity of petitioners who could later be subject to retaliation. Perhaps somewhat ironically, the council has said it cannot disclose the status of the investigation into the dogs for “privacy reasons”. The residents have also expressed concern since lodging the petition in early May about what they allege is a lack of council action in relation to the dogs, saying they remain problematic and that residents of the street fear for their safety. “Residents of (street) have had problems with the behaviour of two dogs located at (address),” the petition stated. “These include a number of attacks on other dogs as well as charging at residents aggressively. “The most recent occurred on ... when the dogs attacked a dog being walked on a leash as they walked past the property. These attacks have occurred through open gates and the dogs jumping over the fence resulting in some residents being afraid to walk past the residence. “This behaviour is totally unacceptable and the undersigned request that the offending animals be removed from the property permanently and the owners of the said dogs be disciplined. “The residents, visitors and their pets must be able to walk in safety and without intimidation.” Council responds ... A council spokeswoman said “a search of Council’s customer relationship

complainant/s will be required to supply evidence in person,” the website states. “Dog attacks must be reported straight away by phoning Council. “Depending upon the severity of the attack the dog may also be seized, impounded and/or destroyed, in addition to the owner being fined and/or prosecuted. “The dog may also be declared either a Dangerous Dog or Menacing Dog under the Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008. “The owner must comply with legislated conditions for keeping a declared dog and will incur additional registration fees. “The complainant will be asked to complete a Statement of Dog Attack form (PDF 234KB) with sufficient information to provide Council with grounds to investigate. “The identity of the complainant will remain confidential in any correspondence from Council. If the matter goes to Court, the complainant/s will be required to supply evidence in person. The following information will be required: · Contact details of complainant - name, address and phone number · Is the person still in danger of attack · Is the dog still in the area · Where exactly did the attack take place · When did the attack take place (date and time) · Was medical treatment required The council says it has investigated 125 menacing dog complaints over the 12 months from July 2019 to July this year. “Council investigates a number of different reported incidents that are categorised as “dog attack or menacing dog(s),” the spokeswoman said. “These categories include: · Dogs in fenced yards rushing at a passing pedestrian or cyclist and causing alarm · Unsecured dogs rushing at pedestrians or cyclists and causing alarm · Dogs rushing dogs or other domestic animals causing alarm · Dogs attacking dogs or other domestic animals causing harm · Dogs attacking people causing harm “Residents who are concerned about dangerous dogs in their area, or who have experienced a dangerous dog attack, should contact Council immediately by calling 1300 MY SDRC or 1300 697 372. “In these instances a phone call is preferred so Council officers can get to your location as soon as possible to assist you.” ● Taxation, financial advice and auditing for individuals, small business, primary producers and clubs.

SOLAR FARM PART OF LANDSCAPE BY JEREMY SOLLARS It was a source of some community objection but like it or no the University of Queensland’s Warwick Solar Farm is a part of our local landscape and will be for the next 25 years. Queensland State Development Minister Kate Jones and UQ Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Hoj ‘officially’ flicked the switch on Friday 17 July, but earlier that week UQ gave the Free Times a tour of the site at Sladevale just north of Warwick. Some Warwick residents - and several councillors serving under the previous 20162020 administration - opposed the Warwick Solar Farm on the grounds of the loss of prime agricultural land and its visual impact. There is no question it dominates the view heading into Warwick over Kelly’s Hill on the northern highway approach to town - 204,540 solar panels arranged over 2450 rows are hard to miss. For its part, UQ is happy to engage with the local community and local media and is promoting a ‘Visitor Centre’ on the site which it hopes will encourage locals and tourists to drop in and learn more about the operation, along with school groups. At full output UQ says the solar farm or more accurately, the two solar farms in one, more on that shortly - will, along with solar facilities at UQ’s Gatton and St Lucia campuses, generate enough power to offset by 100 per cent annual power use by the university.

Electricity from the site is fed into the ‘general’ Queensland-wide power network via the Ergon substation at nearby East Street - but the solar farm does not have the ability to supplements the power supply to Warwick or other nearby villages in the event of a blackout, in case you’ve been wondering.

So the ‘local’ benefit as far as direct electricity supply is nil - it’s UQ itself that’s the beneficiary there. But UQ says the solar farm has brought benefits to Warwick, for example local trade contractors during the construction phase - which is now complete - and employs several locals, including Facility Manager Don Drane. Contractors still regularly visiting the site conducting electrical commissioning and testing stay in local motels while they’re here, and a local firm is engaged to do the mowing - that task is something akin to painting the Sydney Harbour Bridge, ie once you get to one end you turn around and start all over again. But a different form of lawnmower is expected to be seen on the site in the near

future - expressions of interest from local graziers have been sought by UQ to run sheep across the solar farm. They’ll certainly have plenty of shade in the warmer months. A vegetation zone around the site is struggling in the current drought but will eventually comprise some 30,000 trees and shrubs which will at least provide a visual buffer between the solar farm and immediate neighbouring properties. The solar farm is effectively two-in-one - power from the one half of the site is fed into the grid via Allora and the other half goes via Killarney. Each ‘half ’ can be turned off at any given time for maintenance or other operational reasons and the amount of power output from the whole site can be varied on a daily basis according to demand loads on the wider grid.

12455355-DL30-20

The control room is essentially the “brain’’ of the solar farm and can be operated if necessary by Ergon technicians in Brisbane, such as in the event of an emergency. But the systems are also equipped with auto shut-off capability if problems occur.

In amongst the solar panels are 16 converted shipping containers which house ‘inverters’ - if you’re not of a technical mindset and more into high voltage of the hard rock variety that’s the gear which converts DC power into AC before it leaves the farm. The panels themselves sit on battery-driven rails which move automatically throughout the day to tilt the panels in the direction of the sun. Everything is Wi-Fi connected to the central control system and power generation can be monitored in ‘real time’. The steel posts supporting the rows of panels have been hammer-driven into the ground to a depth of about two metres without concrete or other additional support - UQ says that depth is sufficient to stop them moving in the friable black soil of the area. Heavy rain back in February tested the site to a degree, including the two gullies which run through it which have undergone some re-shaping to ensure stormwater is channelled effectively. Two dams will store water for dust-suppression. The panel rows are also expected to be able to withstand wind gusts of up to 75kmh. ● The University of Queensland will offer two $5000 bursaries annually to Year 12 students from the Warwick area who enrol at UQ to study engineering-related disciplines with a sustainability focus - for information call the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology on 3365 3329. ●

UQ released the following statement coinciding with the official opening of the Warwick Solar Farm on Friday 17 July ... Australia’s renewable energy research capacity has been boosted with the completion of The University of Queensland’s 64 megawatt solar farm at Warwick in the state’s south east. UQ Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Peter Høj AC said as the world demanded more energy for human wellbeing and economic development, renewables would provide a greater proportion of that energy production. “The Warwick Solar Farm is first and foremost an act of leadership that demonstrates that a transition to renewables can be done at scale, that’s practicable and makes economic sense,” Professor Høj said. “The power generated at Warwick, in addition to seven megawatts produced at Gatton and St Lucia, will make us the first major university in the world to offset 100 per cent of our electricity use with renewable power produced from our own assets. “The output of Warwick Solar Farm will be about 160GWh per year - the equivalent of powering more than 25,000 households or reducing coal consumption by more than 60,000 tons. “This isn’t just an economic choice; industry and government look to us for expertise and leadership in renewable technologies and this asset will support a wide range of current and emerging research and industry partnerships across a broad array of disciplines. “The generation profile of the solar farm provides an ideal opportunity freetimes.com.au

Locals employed at the UQ Warwick Solar Farm (from left) Operations and Maintenance (O&M) technician Dean Murphy, O&M Supervisor Dave Milnthorpe and Facility Manager Don Drane. Spare parts storage is extensive, as you “can’t just duck down to Bunnings if you need something”, Don says. Sheds on the site were constructed by R&F Steel Buildings in Warwick, one of several local firms to benefit from the project during the construction phase. Others include Ensbey Electrical and Southern Downs Ag. The Loy family also undertook significant earthworks on the site. for piloting emerging battery energy storage or hydrogen conversion technologies. “It will keep our teaching and research at the forefront of the booming renewables industries, aided by the University’s own large operational investments into sustainable engineering technologies over the past decade or more.” Professor Høj said UQ published data from its solar installations online and would continue to do so with the new solar farm, as well as sharing its knowledge among government and industry including commercial operators. “When it comes to climate change, we all share the responsibility and the consequences, and so we need to be acting in a way that is informed by research and with collaboration in mind,” he said. “With solar technology becoming increasingly affordable in the past decade, the economics of solar photovoltaic power are increasingly compelling and we look forward to developing collaborations with industry partners who wish to pilot and prove innovative new energy solutions.” Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology Executive Dean Professor Vicki Chen said the booming renewables sector offered good graduate careers. “Each year we enrol around 1000 first-year Engineering students and ‘work-integrated learning’ - or industry placement - is integral for them during their degrees, and the opportunities in the renewables industry are vast,” Professor Chen said. ●

Chris ‘Poppa’ Williams, Jack Ford and Amin Ismail are among contractors still regularly on site and enjoying their stays at local accommodation. Lead contractor Lendlease will be responsible for maintenance for the next two years.

FOCUS ON … Catholic Education Week

175 YEARS AT ST JOSEPH’S Catholic Education Week this year is being celebrated across Queensland from July 26 to August 1, providing an opportunity for the Catholic education community to celebrate the unique ethos of Catholic Schools and to feature the great things that take place in at St Joseph’s school every day. This year sees all Queensland Catholic schools celebrate 175 years of Catholic schooling. The Catholic Education Week theme for 2020 is “175 Years - A Spirited Tomorrow”. This theme is to not only acknowledge the tradition of Catholic education and how relevant it is preparing the students at St Joseph’s Stanthorpe for their future, but also to acknowledge the 175th anniversary of the very first Catholic School in Queensland being opened. At St Joseph’s, they believe that Catholic education not only teaches general education, but also balances education with deep spiritual immersion. The school believes that Catholic education is very active in teaching a child that God is in their life and all around them. It believes daily exposure to the Catholic faith is important to developing a strong religious foundation. Given that celebrations this year are somewhat different due to COVID-19 restrictions, the school, still acknowledges the importance of Catholic education and

what it means to be part of the St. Joseph’s School community. · Yr 12- “We love the care and community that St Joseph’s school offers and the willingness of all staff and students to learn.” · Yr 9- “St Joseph’s school feels like a community, teachers take time to get to know us, the school is filled with opportunity!” · Yr 11& Yr7- “At St Josephs, you learn good morals and how to be a better person, everyone is really nice!” · Yr 2 - “St Josephs is really fun, we love to learn!” · Mixed grades playing handball - “We love the great education, it’s really fun and because it’s a Catholic school we get to go to church.” · Preppies - “We like St Joseph’s, praying to God and we love assemblies!” · Yr 4/5 - “It’s really fun to learn with all of our friends.” · Mixed grades - “We have great teachers, and everyone is really nice!” · Preppies - “We really like going to school so we can learn, we love Joeys!” According to the school celebrating Catholic Education Week enables students and staff to not only learn about the school’s history, but to reflect about what it means to be a member of the St Joseph’s School community. ●

A new network established by the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) is seeking to understand the level of knowledge grain growers and advisers have when it comes to managing fungicide resistance. The Australian Fungicide Resistance Extension Network (AFREN) has been set up to provide growers with the information support they need to reduce the emergence and manage the impacts of fungicide resistance. AFREN Extension Coordinator Kylie Ireland said an important step in developing useful and effective resources was understanding the level of knowledge growers and advisers have in the area of fungicide resistance - and for this reason a survey has been established. “We really want to know what the current understanding is in regard to fungicide resistance management and how growers and advisers are using the tools they have available to make decisions, which is why we are encouraging all growers and advisers to complete the survey,” said Dr Ireland, from the GRDC and Curtin University co-invested Centre for Crop and Disease Management (CCDM). “Fungicide resistance is a serious and increasingly important issue in the Australian grains industry, and this investment is about providing growers and advisers with the tools and knowledge to prevent and manage its impact.” The GRDC has established AFREN to

specific factsheets, updates and email alerts. The project brings together regional plant pathologists, fungicide resistance experts, and communication and extension specialists from across the country. Project partners include AgCommunicators, Agriculture Victoria, CCDM, Centre for Crop Health at the University of Southern Queensland, Department of Primary Industries and Research Development (DPIRD) in Western Australia, Foundation for Arable Research (FAR) Australia, Independent Consultants Australia Network (ICAN), Marcroft Grains Pathology, South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) which is the research division of Primary Industries and Regions SA, and the University of Melbourne. “Our partners bring a great diversity in experience and industry knowledge, and the AFREN team will work with the GRDC and CropLife Australia to deliver independent, best practice management advice to growers,” Dr Ireland said. Management practices that reduce disease pressure and the number of

fungicide treatments required can reduce the risk of resistance developing, as can responsible use of available chemistries. Management strategies should be crop, disease and region specific, which is why AFREN will develop and deliver regionally specific resources. Growers and advisers can participate in the survey and assist AFREN in tailoring extension messages via https://afren.com. au/survey-landing/ Growers and advisers with an interest in fungicide resistance are invited to connect with AFREN at www.afren.com.au or by contacting the project’s coordinator Dr Kylie Ireland at AFREN@curtin.edu.au.

Q FEVER ACTION CALL AgForce is calling on the State Government to invest in and improve access to the vaccine for Q fever, an infectious disease that causes significant lifelong health issues for farm workers. Q fever is spread to farm workers from infected animals, their surroundings, including straw, hay and grass, and contaminated vehicles and machinery. Approximately one-third of people who develop Q fever end up in hospital with complications such as Hepatitis, pneumonia, meningitis, and inflammation of the heart. Around 20 per cent of people with acute Q fever develop prolonged fatigue, which can be severe enough to prevent them working for the rest of their lives. Chair of AgForce’s Work Health and Safety Policy Committee Jacqui Cannon said National Farm Safety Week was the perfect time to raise awareness about the seriousness of Q fever to the farming and wider Queensland community. “It’s important to highlight this disease affecting the lives of the dedicated farming families and their employees who have kept the supermarket shelves stocked for the

rest of the state and the country during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Ms Cannon said. “A vaccine for Q fever does exist. But the cost is so prohibitive, the current testing regime such a drain on these busy people’s lives, the numbers of doctor’s registered to administer the vaccine so low, that many avoid it. “Previously, the Federal Government ran a National Q fever Management Program, but that now holds the unenviable reputation of being the only governmentfunded vaccination program ever defunded in Australia. “That’s why we need the Queensland

Government to follow the lead of New South Wales, which has provided funding for Q fever awareness, including online learning for GPs, and research into a new vaccine that doesn’t require multiple doctor visits.” Ms Cannon said Q fever wasn’t just an issue for those living in regional and rural Queensland, but for visitors from the city who are generally unaware of the risks. “Q fever doesn’t only affect farm animals. Kangaroos, camels, dogs and cats, can also cause infection. All you need to do is inhale the dust from where an infected animal may have been sleeping. “But because those in the bush are most at risk, it’s hard not to see the lack of government intervention on this issue as another example of regional Queenslanders being left behind those in the city. “That’s why we’re imploring the State Government to stand with regional Queensland, stand with farming families and their workers, and increase the funding for and awareness of Q fever for the health and safety of all Queenslanders.”

COMMENT - GROWCOM’S DAVID THOMSON The export of agricultural produce represents one of the greatest opportunities for future growth within the Queensland economy. Where export markets for other agricultural products are relatively mature, the unrealised export opportunities for fresh fruits, vegetables and nuts in particular remain immense. COVID-19 will continue for some time to cause enormous disruption to normal exporting operations, limiting growth and job creation. The sudden loss of significant airfreight capacity has left growers of produce destined for export high and dry. PreCOVID capacity is not expected to be regained for another three years. Practices for promoting our produce overseas are also reliant on international travel and have ground to a halt. A critical trade-related issue across all of agriculture too often overlooked that is currently curtailing our export potential is the difficulty Queensland agricultural producers face in identifying, and confidently meeting, international export Maximum Residue Limits (MRL) requirements. An MRL is the highest amount of an

agricultural or veterinary chemical residue that is legally allowed in a food product sold in any country, whether it is produced domestically or imported. Each country is entitled to set its own MRLs based on both on how much of a chemical is needed to control pests or diseases, and safe levels of chemical exposure for consumers based on their typical national diet. The result is an exceptionally challenging compliance environment that continues to change in response to new chemicals, different pest and disease threats, revised science and evolving diets. For producers, not only must their chemical use hit a moving target in their overseas market, but also fit within their own longer term integrated pest and disease management strategies on farm.

There is a lot at stake for growers. Getting it right means improving their access overseas. Getting it wrong puts at risk their own reputation and that of Queensland and Australian growers for producing safe, clean and green fresh foods. The fear of failing to meet chemical requirements currently acts as a barrier for growers to engage with expanding export market opportunities. A common tool to help growers hurdle this barrier is long overdue. The absence of a tool that meets the needs of all users of agricultural chemicals has meant some horticulture commodities have struck out on their own to solve this problem for their own growers. Unfortunately this piecemeal approach has led to stop gap solutions and a duplication of effort. Growcom is advocating for a coordinated approach, for a tool that meets the needs of all fresh food producers, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, dairy, meat and more. We believe this tool is best built into Infopest, the most trusted, accurate and up to date agriculture chemical database and search engine in Australia.

MORE FEMALE AG LEADERS Women’s work and expertise are critical in maintaining and developing agricultural businesses and there is considerable work to be done to ensure farm businesswomen to achieve the recognition they deserve; a new report has suggested. Research carried out by the Queensland Farmers’ Federation (QFF) and Griffith University aimed to identify initiatives that would encourage more women to take up leadership roles in the state’s agriculture sector. QFF CEO Dr Georgina Davis said while many women were active, both economically and in leadership roles onfarm, the research identified limited support structures generally. “Farm businesswomen are carrying out leadership activities including mentoring, being a spokesperson or advocate and participating on committees or boards in agriculture while managing farm activities, family, location and community. Women are also active in value adding to existing businesses and developing new commercial opportunities within farms.” “Many women want to expand their roles and undertake opportunities that will help them realise their leadership potential, and importantly, be recognised for the role they play as business owners, innovators and agripreneurs.” “The report findings indicate there is a need to analyse current training and development opportunities, to identify gaps and ensure that these opportunities are accessible in order to support women in achieving their aspirations.” “Following on from this report, QFF’s Diversity and Leadership Panel will work to identify and prioritise training and development needs, as well as the best mechanisms for delivery.” Lead researcher Dr Susan Ressia from the Griffith Business School says women in the sector have complex working lives and any future leadership support programs needed to account for them. “Women take on a range of responsibilities to help manage and keep the farm going from book keeping, volunteering in the community, raising families and even working off the farm to bring in extra income. “To help achieve their leadership aspirations, we need to determine a range of support measures tailored to the women who are juggling these multiple responsibilities. They need more support to help them realise their potential.” ●

A LIONS CHRISTMAS IN JULY GIFT... Sporting history will reflect on 2020 as a year of unwanted sporting firsts. This week the AFL adds another first as it enters unchartered waters. 33 games will be played across 20 consecutive days and as the sun sets on this week’s deadline the fun gets underway on Wednesday night with the Western Bulldogs and Richmond going head to head at Metricon as Queensland becomes the AFL Mecca. For some, it is akin to Christmas in July. For the AFL and Gil McLachlan, it will be either a masterstroke or an illconceived experiment. There is common sense and rationale behind the radical move. As the COVID situation shows no evidence of slowing in Victoria, teams are safely ensconced in “safe” hubs - and importantly away from Victoria. In club land the mood is one of, “Let’s get on with it”. freetimes.com.au

So rounds nine through 12 are a whirlwind. Five-day breaks a luxury. It’s not “Eat, Sleep, Pray”. It will be Eat Sleep Play with a touch of praying tossed in given the pitfalls that may lie ahead in 20 straight days of football. The format of rounds 13-16 is yet to be decided as 2020 continues to be a fly by the seat of your pants season. More than likely it will be more of the same. By virtue of what the AFL is trying to achieve, the draw is less kind to some clubs than others. Clubs will be on high alert for a spike in injuries and fatigue. They must plan how to best keep their playing group healthy. The answer could be resting players en masse. Like the AFL hierarchy club officials are thinking on their feet and making it up as they go in some cases. This radical plan might work. It might

not. Either way, it is going to be one hell of a ride. It may come as welcome relief for beleaguered Queensland rugby league fans sick of watching a Broncos team that apparently feel a 48 point thrashing is acceptable because, “they played better for 20 or 30 minutes”. The Titans and Cowboys doing only marginally better. For those fans and AFL tragics, Santa has just delivered an unexpected Christmas in gift in July. The Lions at the top of the AFL table and a banquet of AFL worthy of a Christmas feast.....In Queensland? Who would have thought strange year 2020. Casey IMPRESSIVE WIN FOR SPORTERS PRESIDENT The weather may have been colder that the proverbial mother-in-law’s kiss, but

it did not deter 53 brave or slightly crazy souls from facing the starter in the Sporters July Warwick Hotel trophy played on Wednesday July 22. The winner (perhaps the least frozen) showing plenty after his sojourn into western NSW, was Sporters President Keith Farrell, He burst from the pack with an impressive 41 points finishing one point ahead of runner-up and President of the Warwick Bovine Appreciation Society Greg Carey (40 points). Ball rundown; Danny Lyons ( playing in shorts and tee shirt as always!) and Derrick Hewitt (37); Ron Simon, Eddie Big Cods, Peter Farrell, Ross Kingston, Evan Pfeffer (36), Keith Clarke, Scott Young, Scott McLennan, Peter Balfour and Eddie Raets (35).

THE SPIN From previous page On Wednesday (July 28) Sporters play in the Bells Butchery trophy. Look for the report in next week’s Spin. The following week is the pro-shop sponsored stroke event for August. Congratulations to the green staff, and the band of happy volunteers led by chainsaw Al, whose remarkable efforts in dropping rogue trees and branches and then getting the course back in shape for Sporters golf was spectacular. We hear however there may have been a run on Neurofen and Dencorub in certain quarters as a result of the two day clean-up. Sporters golf thought this week, (with apologies to James M Barrie) -”Golf is a long lesson in humility.” LOOK OUT FOR LUCKY Recently I was fortunate to spend some time with young Brisbane Grade cricketer, Emmanuel (Lucky) Peterson. Lucky plays first grade for Souths in Brisbane. The club is based at Yeronga and coached by former Test opener Kepler Wessels. Wessels was an opening batsman who has the unique honour of captaining his home country and opening the batting for South Africa at Test level as well as opening the batting for Australia his adopted country. Lucky comes in at first drop for South’s and says that while Wessels’ is a hard task master he relishes the opportunity to be coached by someone of his standing in the game. In 2012 Peterson was selected to play for the Queensland Under 19 side in the National Titles in Adelaide. Under the coaching of Wade Seccombe, the current coach of the Queensland Bulls, the Queensland team won the National title. In that side Under 19 side were a couple of notables, Marnus Labuschagne (aka Lamb Shanks in the O’Connor household); Billy Stanlake and Jimmy Pearson. Not a bad side when you consider Lamb Shanks is now a fixture in the Australian side; Stanlake has played an ODI for Australia, is a BBL cult figure and an Australian fringe player. Pearson is the current Bulls captain and the Brisbane Heat wicket keeper. Pretty decent company in Under 19’s. Peterson made his first grade debut in 2011 and while he is himself a Level Two Cricket coach and has a degree in Sport’s Science he has not given up the dream of his cricket career taking him further. Lucky Petersen, keep your eyes open for the name in and around the Brisbane Heat or Queensland Bulls in 2020. CHILLY CONDITIONS AT SUMMIT Playing Conditions at the Summit Bowls Club were polar opposites last Saturday to the previous weekend. Three games of triples were played in cold bleak weather with the occasional drift of easterly mist just adding to the level of player discomfort. Raffle winners were Brian Brown and John Graham. Looking ahead players will be hoping for better playing this weekend and throughout August. Not sure how that is looking for the A and B pairs which will be played this Saturday and Sunday to get August competition underway. There will also be social bowls on Sunday. Pairs draw:- The following players are required to be at the club at 9.30am on Saturday to commence play at 9.45am. Pam Moore and Eliseo Zamprogno v Carl Sutherland and Gai Wilmot; Rocky Thompson and Tony Schubert v Dan Shipman and Michael Sweeney; John Graham and Frank Taylor v Maree Ball and Rob Capelli. 30 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES

Players required to be at the club by 12.30 are: · Barry Murphy and Tyler Sweeney v Tina Schubert and Rod Newlands; Brian Wilmot and Jamie Zamprogno v Paul Zamprogno; Darren Stanley. Margaret Harvey and Graeme Warner will play the winner of the Frank Taylor Capelli game. All games of three bowl pairs will be played over 21 ends. There will be a sausage sizzle lunch for players and spectators Looking ahead in August, Turkey Triples make their long awaited return on Tuesday August 18. The Summit hosts the Men’s District Pairs on the weekend of August 22 and 23. If necessary, the final of this event will be held on the following weekend. First Division Pennants get rolling on Saturday September 5 followed by Second Division on Sunday 6th. BACK IN ACTION The Warwick Bowls club is back in action after the disruption of COVID-19. The hard working greens committee has ensured the green has been kept in pristine condition during the break. Thanks to the SDRC and Mayor Vic Pennisi the club is now hooked into the recycled water system, which will protect the club against future water shortages. Since the lifting of restrictions, the Committee been far from idle. The club has hosted a free Sunday game sponsored by Club President Max Holder; completed the B Singles and the first and second rounds of the Championship Singles have been decided, In addition there have been a some social games. Yvonne Reid is possibly the first woman to win a club final since the introduction of mixed events at the club. Congratulations to Yvonne who defeated Richard Tartan 25-22. The results in the A Singles Round One:T Wright d P Wagner (26-20); J Ruhle d B Black (26-7) Round Two:T Seaniger d R Bean (25-6); M O’Leary d T Wright (25-21); J Ruhle d J Rickard (25-17); R Tartan d R Schnitzerling (26-19) In the semi final of the A Singles, T Seaniger will play M O’Leary; J Ruhle will play R Tartan. On Wednesday (July 22) a social game was well supported. Tim Gallagher team the winners and Brian Black’s team runners-up. Last Sunday (July 25) was designated a free afternoon with a sausage sizzle and prizes donated by President Max Holder. Each triples team played two games and the winner was picked on the number of ends won with honours going to M Walsh, D Ruhle, B Black (11). Looking ahead the club has scheduled Friendly Bowls on Wednesday August 5; the A Grade Singles Finals and Social Bowls Saturday August 8; Jackpot Bowls Wednesday August 12 and possibly the start of Club Pairs and Social Bowls Saturday August 22.

Games commence at 1.00pm, names must be submitted directly to the Club or by phone (ph 07 46 611 516) between noon and 12.30. The club and members wish their esteemed scribe Judy Cutmore a speedy recovery from her recent surgery and understand she is recovering well. MIXED RESULTS FOR STANTHORPE FOOTBALLERS The Warwick Wolves Under 16/17 side which incorporates Warwick and

Thursday, 30 July, 2020

Stanthorpe players had a one all draw against West Wanderers in Toowoomba on Saturday afternoon. The Men’s side, Stanthorpe United side were disappointed when there game against Middle Ridge was called off due to teh conditions. A disappointing outcome for the players who had travelled to Toowoomba and ready to run on. CONDITIONS NOT TOO TOUGH FOR WINNERS Stanthorpe golfers played in a medley 4BBB Stableford last Saturday, the usual format for the end of month match. Cold conditions and the possibility of rain made the going tough for a lot of the field but not so the winners, Sandra Ellis and Peter Gibney. They returned a winning score of 48 points prizes provided by another of the club’s long term sponsors, 4 Water Supplies. Ellis and Gibney proved to be a good combination recording minimum two points on each hole and several four pointers for good effect. Their consistency made all the difference to the final result. The runners up were the team of Scott Constable and Andrew Burgess with a combined score of 43 points. As with the winners, this paired well with consistent scoring through the round. Only one hole of four points made the difference. In the run down, Max Hunter and Greg Fraser returned a card of 43 points. Barry Hughes and Kay Webb (42) points rounded out the list of prize winners. A big thank you to the 4 Water Team for their sponsorship. This weekend sees the start of the club championships which will be played over four rounds on Saturday and Sunday of the next two weekends. There will be divisions for all handicap allowances as well as a gross event for the individual champions and a net event for all to continue playing. The first round will be self nominated tee times. Players can play with their own arranged fours however the following rounds will be seeded. The draw will be announced at the completion of play in the previous round. On Saturday events are scheduled to start at 10.30 am and Sunday from 9.30 am following the Sporter’s competition. Players who progress should check the draw sheet once it is finalised. Good luck to all players. A GRADE SINGLES FINAL THIS WEEKEND The finals of the Warwick East Bowls Club A Grade Singles will be decided on Saturday afternoon at the completion of the semi finals on which commence at 10.00am. In the semi final draw, E Diery will play J Johnson and P Collis will play the winner of the postponed game between D Rabbit and S Ford. In the first two round of the club’s “A” grade singles which were played last Saturday:- . D Weir (26) def (13); C Lawler club’s (13) def Rabbit (25) def R Tate (9); D Hughes (17) def M Morris (16); E Diery (25) def D Zealley (4); J Johnson (25) def D Weir (23), P Collis (25) def. D Hughes (13). There will also be normal mixed social bowls on Saturday afternoon, commencing at 1.00pm. Nominations are now called for the B-grade singles. The club will be resuming regular monthly open triples on Thursday August 6 with play beginning at 10.00 a.m. This is in line with the decision made at the February 2020 board meeting. SHOW ME THE $$$$ “Show Me The Way Home” is not apparently the song sheet Money Bill Williams is singing from. More the “Show Me The

Money” hymn sheet. The return of Sonny Bill Williams to Australia from Canada is imminent. SBW is currently under contract to the Toronto Wolfpack who have formerly withdrawn from the English 2020 Super League season due to COVID-19. SBW has been given an exemption from contractual rule which will allow the prodigal son, with the blessing of his Canadian team and the NRL to return to where else but the Roosters for the final five or six games of the NRL season. Bless you my son said the NRL; the Commissioners; Peter V’L and of course teh high priest of the Roosters salary cap, Nick Politis. Williams is expected to return in coming days and head into quarantine for the mandatory 14 days before rejoining his former club. Teh move comes as some insiders express concern that bending the rules to allow SBW to return may have implications that come back to bite the NRL down the track. There is also concern surrounding the push to allow South Sydney young gun Joseph Suaalii to play in the NRL prior to turning 18. The Bunnies appear to have won the battle for the signature of the South’s prodigy. There are plenty of people showing concern at teh level of rule bending and who are concerned at the implications if this youngster is granted permission to play at 17. There was no rule bending after the massive blunder in the Dragons Sharks game which cost the Dragons the points. Referees boss Graham Annesley moved swiftly to stand down those in the Bunker who were involved. It has been widely reported but not confirmed that the NRL is on the verge of engaging Gus Gould to review the Bunker operation and a raft of other issues in and around the game. Who knows, we may yet see that super expensive Bunker blown up. Dragons fans can only weep and hope. SMALL FIELD NO SURPRISE It is little surprise that last Wednesday (July 22) when the mercury barely made it to double figures only 14 women ventured onto the Warwick course to play in the July Mid-Week Medal. Jill Barnes had the best round of the five players in Division One finishing with five nett. Runner-up Mary Young finished with 74 nett. Janine Stewart was on song with her putter winning the putting comepitition with 33 putts. Division Two was hotly contested a countback between three players with a score of 77 nett was needed to decide the winner. Yvonne Pinington eventually got the nod and claiming the win ahead of runner-up Di Macdonald (who also won the putting comepitition with 30 putts) and Roslyn Darton. Balls in the rundown went to Ros Darton (77) and Janine Stewart (78). Extra balls went to Sharron Cooper (79), Di Johnston, Di Evans (80) and Michelle Wright (81). Congratulations ladies for braving the conditions. Last Saturday, Country Smiles Dental sponsored the single medley Stableford event. A number of hardy souls rugged up warmly to play. Adding another 40 points to her Shootout total was winner Di Evans. Not too far afield was runner up Mary Young (38). Balls in the rundown went to Michelle Wright (37) and Annice Payne (34). Extra balls went to Judy Lester (34), Jill Barnes (32), Yvonne Pinington and Tub Ingall (31). The weather may not have been warm but the welcome for Tasma Pottinger visiting from Pacific Golf Club certainly was. freetimes.com.au

Bookmakers will be in attendance; the bar will be operating and food will be available during the seven race programme. There are 118 nominations across the seven races with the meeting again proving popular with metropolitan, provincial and country trainers. The meeting has also been well supported by local trainers. STANTHORPE BOWLS CLUB BACK IN PLAY The Stanthorpe Bowls Club resumed play last Saturday and it was good to see bowlers had not lost their line during the long layoff. One game of women’s singles, a semifinal event was played and was a great game to watch as Robyn Rose just out scored Helen Jones 26-24. In the men’s singles two semi final games were decided. Frank Gallo outlasted Brian Brown to win 24-14. In the other game between Len Girgenti and Ernie Jones, it was Girgenti who stole the chocolates. Final score 26-19 A social game of fours was also played with Sylean Fairley Dot Rankin and John Fairley out scoring S Fairley Wendy Hurnell and Luisa Girgenti 16-9. Thanks to Ray Rankin Gordon Gallaway and Dot Rankin who acted as markers in the finals match. If you would like to join the bowlers at the Stanthorpe Bowling club games will be played on Wednesday and Saturday next week. Everyone is welcome to come along and have a go.” Another busy week for Warwick Croquet players.

“Fifty Shades” Gray. Thea Francis is in great form and has taken every playing partner to the podium with her in recent weeks. Husband Rob is probably kicking himself for not teaming up with her on the green. Saturday’s runners-up were Marion Skaines from Clifton and Bill Lee (with his three arms). Each picked up meal vouchers donated by the Criterion Hotel. Word is Gary Hughes could be in grave danger of being banned from the club after he showed up very late and then won the cash in the Lucky Sweep. I also hear that the afternoon tea which included some delicious home cooking provided by some of the ladies was greatly appreciated. Today (Thursday July 30), the ladies are hosting Social Mixed Bowls commencing at 1.00pm. Everyone is welcome including beginners who can have a go with bowls supplied. You just need to be at the club by 12.30pm. For inquires phone the Ladies President Chris 0412 027 342. On Saturday, August 1 there will be Social Bowls at 1.00pm. Be there by 12.30pm. All bowlers are welcome with any enquires to the Games Director Clark 0427 673 277. There will also be a party of 20 who will be organising their own games. A reminder to members that Sunday August 16, the club is holding Ladies and Men’s Meetings at 9.00am. They will be followed by the AGM at 10.00am. The Frank O’Mara Memorial Shield will be played at 1.00pm the same day. Everybody welcome, contact Clark 0427 673 277. Busy times on the green. The Southern Cross Bowls Club Inc. Is located opposite St Mary’s Church in Warwick. Follow the club on Facebook or contact the Secretary, Cheryl (0407 641 158). SHOW SOME LOVE TO TEAL AND PINK Football kicked off for many on the Sunshine Coast last weekend. Unfortunately it was not an auspicious start with many games cancelled due to the wet and soggy state of the fields due to the heavy rain. AS the season gets underway players, officials and supporters are reminded that referees wearing teal shirts are in their first year of refereeing. Any referee wearing pink arm bands are Under 18 Years of age. These are excellent initiatives by Football Queensland to easily identify first year and younger referees. While all referees should be shown respect, it is hoped that these new and or young referees will be encouraged and supported in their endeavours. It is early days for these refs who are still learning about the intricacies of the rules of the game. They are developing the skills to manage a game and managing players on the pitch but they are the future of refereeing. It is a timely reminder to everyone that without the man or woman in the middle with the whistle there is no game. Good luck to all the newcomers this season. If you would like more information on the teal shirt initiative head to the Football Queensland website. PUNTERS WECOMED BACK TO ALLMAN PARK The Warwick Turf Club will be hoping for a change in weather conditions well before Monday as they prepare to welcome patrons back to the races for Monday’s meeting at Allman Park. All patrons must adhere to the COVID-19 social distancing regulations and sign in. You can pre-book your attendance by contacting Kristen (0414 899 854) or email secretary@warwickturfclub.com.au.

The Lane Cup Final was also played on Wednesday. Helen Olsen and Mick Banks played Mel and Sam McLennan. In a closely contested final the mother and son combination of Mel and Sam took the honours winning one up. It is great to have had the mother/daughter combination of Molly Scotney and Danielle Seibel and now a mother/son combination winning recent honour board events. Wednesday July 29 is the fifth Wednesday of the month and the single Stableford will be sponsored by Sporters. Look for results in next week’s Spin. Saturday August 1 is the Monthly Medal single stroke event off the white markers. Ladies are also encouraged to support the 36-hole Mixed Foursomes on Sunday August 2. There will be prizes on offer for the gross and nett event and also for both 18 holes and several chances for teams to take home a prize. Foursomes is the game where the two players take it in turns to hit the same ball, alternating the tee shots. In the second round of 18 holes the order of play is reversed. It may sound like a long day on the golf course but you will be surprised how quickly the time goes as play progresses. There is a timesheet in the Pro Shop. Put your names on the time sheet let Mary know if you would like to play but need a man! Thanks to Carey’s Meats Yangan who are sponsoring this event. Wednesday August 5 is a Red Rooster single Stableford. BROAD AND POMS ON THE CUSP No crowd no problem for Stuart Broad. Even without a crowd at Old Trafford, Broad added a sense of drama to the final over on Day Three. Broad almost stole the show on a day where England dominated. With one ball of play remaining Broad needed one wicket for to reach his 500th Test wicket. He had his hands in the air as he nipped the ball past the outside edge. West Indian Shai Hope just retracted his bat in time, leaving Broad to sleep on 499 wickets and then cool his heels on day four as the rain tumbled down and play was officially abandoned. As we finalise Spin, Day five the weather forecast looks more promising for play but even Gordon Greenidge and the 1984 Windies musketeers would struggle to knock off the 389 more runs West Indies require to win. England is eight wickets short of victory, with maximum of 98 overs to be bowled on the final day, (Tuesday evening our time) a 2-1 win for the Poms looks the likely scenario. Of course you can’t count your chickens and all that but there should be that crowning moment for Broad when he finally joins that elite 500 club. It would be a fitting close to what has been an entertaining series. Members of the elite 500 club:- Muttiah Muralitharan (800); Shane Warne (708); Anil Kumble (619); James Anderson (589); Glenn McGrath (563); Courtney Walsh CRAZY CLARK DRAWING THEM IN We are unsure know how “crazy” Clark is, but he somehow drew another 20 bowlers to compete in three rounds of bowls on Saturday at the Southern Cross Club. That was after Thursday’s comepitition at the Club. Thursday winners were Daph and Joe, Bill and Steve, Barry and Barry, Cheryl and Geoff enjoyed a mixture of games with the team of Bill Lee and Steve Tyter showing the best form. On Saturday it was Thea Francis and Joe Torrisi took home some Red Sangria generously supplied by resident Irishman, Val
