Saleyards talks The Southern Downs Regional Council has formally appointed a new Saleyards Advisory Committee which is due to hold its first meeting in mid-October, with discussion of a master plan to guide the future of the Warwick Saleyards likely to be the main agenda item. At their general meeting last week councillors voted to endorse the appointment of external committee members, with the Saleyards Advisory Committee made up of both councillors and key council officers, as well as livestock and related industry representatives. As its name implies the committee acts in an advisory and consultative capacity but interest in both its membership and terms of reference remains high in the region’s primary production sector, following more than two years of controversy over the Warwick Saleyards during the previous council administration under former Mayor Tracy Dobie. Specifically, the previous council examined the option of outsourcing management of the saleyards to a private operator, and speculation was rife of a push to develop a new saleyards facility on a ‘greenfield’ site in the vicinity of the existing location, although a specific new site was never publicly canvassed by the Dobie administration.

Many in the region’s livestock industry and further afield held concerns over - and strongly opposed - private management of the Warwick Saleyards and the potential for increases in operating fees charged to both sellers and buyers. Joining Councillors Cynthia McDonald and Marco Gliori on the Saleyards Advisory Committee are the following external representatives, endorsed by last week’s vote at the SDRC general meeting Cattle representative - Jim Wedge Agent representative - Matthew Grayson Transport representative - Ross Fraser OAM Sheep representative - John Henry Previous Chair of Saleyards Advisory Committee - Graham Kirkland But of equal - or perhaps greater - significance than the appointment of new committee members is upcoming discussion by the committee of a master plan for the Warwick Saleyards adopted by the Southern Downs Regional Council’s new administration in July of this year. Despite its formal adoption in July the master plan was completed in August 2019 during the term of the Dobie administration. The master plan was compiled by consultants Wiley & Co and outlines a range of poten-

tial future options for the saleyards, including major upgrades to the existing facility at the corner of Bracker Road and McEvoy Streets, or the development of a new saleyards complex. But on the new saleyards option, potential locations have still not been revealed with the council only publicly releasing the first 29 pages of the Wiley & Co master plan back in July. The remainder of the document is understood to contain detailed costings of both the re-development and new facility options. The Free Times has been seeking since October 2019 to obtain the full master plan through Right To Information (RTI), with our application having been under review by Queensland’s Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) since early 2020. The Dobie administration refused to release any portion of the master plan to the Free Times through Right To Information, citing ‘commercial-in-confidence’ reasons. Current Mayor Vic Pennisi has previously told the Free Times more detail of the master plan will be made public in due course, once further discussion has taken place among the councillors elected in March of this year, along with analysis of an internal council “business case” relating to the master plan. The Free Times continues to argue that

release of the full document is in the public interest, but more information may come to light in mid-October following the first meeting of the new advisory committee. A council spokeswoman this week told the Free Times the “recently endorsed new Saleyards Advisory Committee is expected to hold their first meeting in mid-October 2020”. “At this meeting, the committee will be briefed on the Master Plan and Business Case,” the spokeswoman said this week. “A report will be presented to Council for consideration following this committee meeting. “Any forthcoming decision by Council will provide a way forward for the Warwick Saleyards to remain a vibrant industry within the Southern Downs region, continuing to attract more livestock on a weekly basis. “Council is fully aware of the enormous benefits the livestock industry brings to the region and will work towards the best possible outcome for the Warwick Saleyards.” No date for the presentation to full council of the report referred to has yet been released. The first 29 pages of the Warwick Saleyards Master Plan Report is available on the council website at www.sdrc.qld.gov.au

The Granite Belt Art and Craft Trail Open Studios event is set to capitalise on the winter tourism boom experienced across the region, building on the extraordinary publicity generated over the last few months as Queenslanders look to holiday here this year in support of regional economies. Arts trail founder Rosy Chapman was inspired by the Silo Art Trail, which delivers international media attention to regional Australia, an influx of tourists to the region, and expansion of the trail into a 200-kilometrelong outdoor art gallery. “Drive-market tourism is delivering relief from back-to-back natural disaster events and now the pandemic,” Rosy said. “The Granite Belt has experienced incredible coverage from major metro newspapers, travel writers and Channel 7 over winter, with accommodation houses booking out and a massive influx of tourists from our weekend drive market. “The Australian recently published a Granite Belt travel feature ‘Queensland’s Rock Stars’. “It’s thrilling to consider that a cross-platform readership of over two million people is being introduced to our street art, wineries, artisans and Girraween National Park. “We hope that this event will support the Granite Belt in its best spring season yet! “Many of our cellar doors are reporting that the majority of visitors are first-time visitors to the Granite Belt - this will be the year of road trip adventures for many Australians. “Thanks to the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal’s Tackling Tough Times Together program, the Granite Belt Art and Craft Trail is one of 36 community-led projects that is celebrating the news that they will be sharing in $1.3 million funding.

“Last year we had just $26,000 in funding to stage and promote the event. “This year, we are working with $57,000. “This has enabled us to actively promote the artisans to the broader community and our weekend drive market through digital marketing campaigns, a new website and media liaison. “We are distributing 10,000 programs across the Western Downs, Toowoomba, Scenic Rim, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Ipswich. “Over 20,000 people have viewed our promotional video, and our online marketing has reached almost 100,000 people so far - watch this space! “The Granite Belt Art and Craft Trail has a strong artisan line up for the 2020 open studios event. “Over 30 artisans will be exhibiting on the trail at 17 different venues, from wineries to art galleries and beautiful small community halls. “The Tackling Tough Times Together grant program helps grassroots community organisations support local economic recovery. Both new and returning artisans are experiencing first-hand what the arts trail is doing for the Granite Belt’s economy and bringing the community together. “We are now partnering with Condamine Country’s inaugural Art and Craft Open Studio Trail event, held over 17 and 18 October 2020. “Our trail of trails will provide a fully immersive experience of the rich tapestry of culture, talent, history and artefacts in the Southern Downs. “New and returning artisans are experiencing first-hand what the arts trail is doing for the Granite Belt’s economy and bringing the community together.

The editor’s desk The Southern Downs Regional Council is seeking feedback from the community on water use (see page 3 this week). A number of readers have told me in recent weeks they feel there is an argument to relax the current town water restrictions from 120 litres per person per day, on the basis the region’s dams have a little over two years’ worth of water in storage. They’ve cited things like the need to clean external areas of homes and the mental health benefits of gardening, both examples of activities which have been restricted for as long as anyone around here can remember. And they are fair points. Having mostly lived off rain/bore/ creek water during my time in the region I’m probably of the mindset that miserly is best when it comes to water. I’m also of the view there is an argument for permanent water restrictions - I’m open on the level - and that they should apply across metropolitan centres. I think as a nation collectively we are far too complacent about water. What is known is that to this point there is still no firm plan for long-term water security for our region. We are still waiting, for example, on an update from the Queensland Government about a potential pipeline from Toowoomba to Warwick. With a state election in the offing that could change soon, bearing in mind we’re not in a marginal seat with crucial votes for any party. In the meantime, I’d encourage the community to take up the council’s invitation for feedback on water use - and feel free to share your views in a ‘Letter to the Editor’.

Have your say on water The Southern Downs Regional Council is inviting the community to submit feedback to help the council better understand how water restrictions influence water use, liveability and business operations during times of drought. Residents, businesses and community groups are being encouraged to provide feedback through a number of avenues - all of which comply with COVID-19 restrictions, such as an online survey, email and phone interviews. Currently the region’s urban water users are on a restriction of 120 litres per person per day, but some Free Times readers have suggested these should be relaxed given there is more than two years’ worth of town water storage currently in the region’s dams. It has also been suggested different levels of restriction could apply to Warwick and Stanthorpe. It’s a controversial topic but whatever your view the council’s feedback call-out is an opportunity to have your say. Portfolio Councillor for Water Stephen Tancred said the council “understands the drought has had a profound impact on the region and it was important to hear directly from all sectors of the community to integrate ideas and feedback into the future Drought Management Plan”. “During these dry times, the importance of this document in delivering an effective management plan cannot be undervalued,” Cr Tancred said. “Social distancing restrictions are no barrier to having your say on the current water restrictions framework and what it could look like in the future. “It’s as easy as completing an online survey, sending an email or talking on the phone to one of our Water Officers. “Even during difficult times, Council remains committed to ongoing and consistent community consultation and we look forward to your feedback.

“It’s unfortunate that our community has such a real understanding of drought but we need to reflect and learn as much as we can from this experience to find out how we can better manage water and survive dry times. “Traditional public consultation and face-toface meetings are not viable due to COVID-19 social distancing guidelines but residents, businesses and community groups can have their say by Completing an online survey at www.sdrc. qld.qov.au or www.surveymonkey.com/r/ JPDQC33 Emailing a written submission to waterfeedback@sdrc.qld.gov.au or Calling Council directly on 1300 697 372 “Community consultation will be open until Sunday 25 October 2020,” Cr Tancred said. “It is expected that the draft Drought Management Plan will be completed in November. “The draft plan will also be available for community consultation once completed. “The region has been drought declared for more than two years. “Extreme Level water restrictions currently apply of 120 litres per person per day apply to all treated town water supplies delivered to the household tap or supplied by a water carter. “Water restrictions also extend to communities supplied drinking water by bores in Dalveen, Pratten and Leyburn. “Droughts will come and go and it’s important that the community and Council continue to find better ways to deal with them, learn from them and prepare for the future.” Tell us what you think ... The Free Times welcomes readers’ view on the subject of water restrictions - why not have your say in a ‘Letter to the Editor’ - letters can be mailed to The Editor, Southern Free Times, 94 Palmerin Street Warwick QLD 4370 or email to - jeremy.sollars@freetimes. com.au

· · ·

Remember top water-saving tips ... Cr Tancred also urged residents to take advantage of long-term water saving devices around the home to help manage water responsibly. “Our region continues to battle drought, and as the mercury rises, now is the time to make sure we are doing everything possible to conserve water around the house and consider where improvements can be made,” he said. “Bathrooms, kitchens and laundries are the high use areas for households, so it is common sense to focus on how we can save water in these areas. “In the bathroom, using a water efficient shower head can reduce water consumption by 50 percent, and water captured in a bucket and saved from going down the drain can be re-used for other purposes such as flushing the toilet or watering the garden. “Check your toilet for slow leaks - a vis-

ibly leaking toilet can waste more than 160 litres a day. “Replacing single flush toilets with a dual flush system could save up to 80 litres per day. “When it comes to the laundry, always ensure you have a full load of washing before turning on your machine. “If you have a small load, always double check you’ve adjusted your water level. “Consider running a hose from the washing machine to the garden. “Also take advantage of the eco option on appliances - eco cycles not only save water, but also energy and money. “If you are purchasing new appliances or upgrading appliances, do your research and check the water rating. “The more stars the greater the water saving.” For more information on water use, water saving tips and dam levels visit sdrc.qld. gov.au

Trial of permit system The Southern Downs Regional Council says after consulting with locals, residents, business and other stakeholders “council has resolved to trial a new approach to managing Condamine River Road” at Killarney. “For many years locals and visitors alike, have struggled with issues associated with the use of the road, including managing increasing volumes of traffic, maintaining the road and river crossings, and keeping users and the environment safe and protected for all to enjoy,” a spokeswoman said this week. “Earlier this year, Council embarked on a series of one-on-one conversations with locals, businesses, Cambanoora Gorge residents and visitors to gather feedback on whether an engineering solution or something different was required and how Council could work with stakeholders to change its management practices. “After over 50 meetings, this week’s report proposed a number of actions to be introduced as part of a trial over twelve months. Endorsed actions include: Progress introducing a permit system on a 12-month trial to manage the volume and vehicular use of the Condamine River Road; Investigate options and suitable locations for the provision of visitor facilities on public land; Maintain the fourteen (14) river crossings of the Condamine River Road in their current natural state, moving away from the Kehoe Myers public road engineering solution;

Councillor for Environment, Waste, Sustainability, and Disaster Management Cameron Gow said that “balancing stakeholder interests while also ensuring the natural environment was maintained was a major focus of Council’s consultation process”. “There are a number of stakeholder groups who have a vested interest in Cambanoora Gorge with competing interests and desires for future management of the area,” Cr Gow said. “Council staff have undertaken extensive consultation and have come up with some approaches that we believe will serve to resolve these long-standing issues. “Condamine River Road and Cambanoora Gorge are natural treasures and there has been a thorough community consultation process undertaken to provide insight into future decisions. “It is just a trial at this stage, but we’ve acknowledged our management needs to change and we need to do something differently. “I support the trial and like the community, will be watching with interest as it unfolds. “Council also committed to keep talking with the community as the trial evolves and reporting on progress six months in and prior to the end of the twelve month trial. “More information on the permit system will be communicated to the community and users prior to the commencement of the trial.”

Heritage review ‘deferred’ By Jeremy Sollars Southern Downs councillors last week voted to “decline and defer” any requests for removal of properties from the council’s heritage list until a review of the list is completed, which is not expected to happen during the current financial year. The issue was addressed at last week’s general meeting when an application for removal from the heritage list came before councillors, relating to a residence at 24 Wallangarra Road at Stanthorpe, on the corner of College Road. The owner of the property had applied to have it removed from the council’s ‘Local Heritage Register’ on the grounds that modifications to the home had reduced its heritage value. But councillors voted in favour of retaining the home on the register pending the outcome of a heritage review which was initiated in 2019 and is not yet complete. The review will form part of an overall review of the council’s planning scheme, with council officers advising last week’s meeting that process will not be completed before the end of the 2020-2021 financial year. The council’s Local Heritage Register is not as restrictive as the Queensland Heri-

tage Register maintained by the State Government but does trigger an assessment of heritage values if a property owner applies for council approval to modify or redevelop a heritage site. The home at 24 Wallangarra Road is not listed on the Queensland Heritage Register. A report by council officers to last week’s general meeting stated that the residence “was included on the Local Heritage Register on 6 August 2012”. “The place is identified in the Southern Downs Cultural Heritage Study as being of cultural heritage significance: - for its historical association with a house in the interWar Californian Bungalow style,” the report states. “The conservation approaches identified are to conserve the significant fabric and setting of the place and to encourage the continued use of the place for residential purposes.” But the owner of the property, who was not identified in the report, stated in correspondence to the council that its current appearance is “completely different” from its original condition and that “comparing my residence to something in America is absurd”.

An undated image of the residence prior to its alterations.

Photo showing the current appearance of the property.

In their original submission on the heritage listing back in 2011 the owner stated that “many better examples of dwellings in Stanthorpe exhibit the fundamental characteristics of the California bungalow style which I believe to be not uncommon and are open to interpretation”. They pointed out that verandahs to the front and side have been enclosed and the external walls “which were originally weatherboard have been cement rendered and stucco finished a number of years ago even though the use of these materials was not inconsistent with the style”. “The site has some but limited local/ neighbourhood significance but no Regional significance” and “whilst the site is large and

is visually prominent in terms of its position in relation to the roadway, its true significance would only be enhanced by restoring the dwelling to its former state which is way beyond the capacity of myself and quite likely most other owners”. Councillors last week voted to retain the residence on the Local Heritage Register “due to its architectural significance” and to “decline and defer the review of any further Local Heritage Listed place requests until the formal review of Council’s Local Heritage Register is undertaken as part of the development of the new planning scheme, and a coordinated approach to these request can be delivered”.

IN BRIEF Report hoons

Murder charged mentioned

Residents are being encouraged to contact local police to report instances of hooning behaviour, or to report it to the Queensland Police ‘dob in a hoon’ line on 13 4666 (13 HOON). Free Times readers have voiced concern in recent weeks about a surge in noise and other disturbance caused by vehicle hooning in Warwick and Stanthorpe, with serious potential penalties applying to repeat offenders, including impoundment of vehicles. Southern Downs Councillor Andrew Gale whose portfolio includes traffic and transport as well as membership of the council’s Road Safety Advisory Committee - said instances of hooning while it is happening can be reported to Triple 0. Cr Gale said other information which may be collected by residents - including dashcam and security camera footage and vehicle details such as registration plates, along with times and locations - can be reported to 13 4666. He said it is vital that evidence be forwarded to police to help build an overall picture of hooning ‘hotspots’ and individuals of concern, to enable police to target their resources effectively, as well as responding to serious incidents while they are in progress.

A murder charge against former Warwick resident Vincent O’Dempsey was mentioned in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday of this week, 28 September. O’Dempsey was charged in August of last year with the alleged 1964 murder of Vincent Raymond Allen, and he first appeared in court in relation to the charge on Tuesday 20 August 2019. On Monday of this week the matter was adjourned for further mention in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday 26 October 2020. O’Dempsey has not yet been required to enter a plea and remains in custody.

No application as yet Renewable energy company Acciona is yet to formally submit a development application to the Queensland Government for its proposed ‘MacIntyre Wind Farm’ south-west of Warwick, planned to cover 36,000 hectares of private leased land predominantly in the Goondiwindi Regional Council area but also taking in part of the Southern Downs Regional Council area. The company had initially stated to the Free Times it planned to lodge the application by the end of ‘Q3’ or the third quarter of 2020. A spokeswoman this week said the company intends to submit the application within the next few weeks. As reported the Queensland Government is the decision-making authority on wind farms in the state but both SDRC Mayor Vic Pennisi and Goondiwindi Mayor Lawrence Springborg have said they expect their respective councils to be formally consulted over the wind farm and any local government implications.

Council outdoor pools re-open

Report hooning to the police, including 13 HOON (13 4666).

The Southern Downs Regional Council says “nothing says ‘Hello summer!’ better than the announcement that Council’s outdoor pools will reopen to the public after an extended winter closure delayed by COVID-19 restrictions”. The council this week announced the pools in Stanthorpe, Allora and Killarney will be available for respite from the warmer

SDRC’s outdoor pools open from today, Thursday 1 October. weather and summer time fun from today, Thursday 1 October. “Swimming pools are the cornerstone of local communities; however recent COVID-19 social distancing guidelines restricted the opportunities for social interaction and exercise at these much loved facilities,” a spokeswoman said. “While we were forced to close our outdoor pools for an extended period, we took advantage of the break to carry out additional upgrades and maintenance. “With our pools again opening, the community can rest assured that staff are committed to important measures to ensure everyone’s safety and that each pool will operate under the guidelines of the COVID-19 Safe Industry Plan for Pools and Aquatic Centres. “Our community has done a tremendous

job of slowing down the spread of COVID-19 across our region, and Council encourages residents to maintain social distancing and enhanced hygiene practices. “The public pools at Allora, Stanthorpe and Killarney allow everyone to socialise in a clean, refreshing environment. “With the warmer weather approaching, the pools not only provide a welcome relief from the long, hot summer days, they offer opportunities for fun and relaxation. “For those wishing to improve their fitness, what better way to do this than cracking a few laps at an affordable price? “So this spring and summer, all residents are invited to go for gold, both young and old, and keep alive the wonderful Australian tradition of having a dip with your mates.”

Fire crews across southern Queensland are on alert as bushfire risks continue. Picture: FILE IMAGE

Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) is expected to impose further fire bans across the Southern Downs, Granite Belt and Border areas in the coming days as weather conditions continue to bring an increased risk of bushfires. Last week fire bans were imposed in the Southern Downs, Toowoomba, Goondiwindi, Western Downs, Maranoa, Murweh, Quilpie, Bulloo, Paroo and Balonne Local Government Areas and fire crews responded to a number of fires across southern parts of Queensland.

Last week’s local fire ban was due to end on Monday of this week but a QFES spokesman said “current and upcoming fire conditions are perfect for bushfires to ignite and spread quickly”. “Under a local fire ban all open fires are prohibited and all Permits to Light Fire which have been issued in the designated areas are cancelled,” the spokesman said. “Power tools may be used during a local fire ban, however QFES encourages people to use these with extreme care and ensure adequate

equipment is available to extinguish any fire which may start. “This may include having a person available to watch out for any ignitions that occur.” Details of further fire bans will be posted on the Free Times website at www.freetimes. com.au and on our Facebook page. Further Information on fire bans and updating your ‘Bushfire Survival Plan can be found on the Queensland Rural Fire Serviced website at - www.ruralfire.qld.gov.au.

SDRC applies for funding The Southern Downs Regional Council says improving the safety of community amenities across the region is the “driving force behind the latest list of social infrastructure projects funded from the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program”. A council spokeswoman said at last week’s General Meeting on Wednesday 23 September councillors endorsed to submit the following projects for consideration to replace a number of previous projects that were not eligible under the funding’s criteria: Velodrome (Australiana Park, Warwick) reseal and lighting, $219,538 Wallangarra Railway Footpath, $57,400 Killarney Footpath, $30,000 Lock Street (Stanthorpe) Footpath, $106,403 Security fencing and signage at sewerage pump stations, $123,000 Mayor Vic Pennisi said the projects “target the maintenance of existing public infrastructure to improve community safety and would support jobs and local economy resilience to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic”. “This particular stream of funding through the Australian Government enables us to deliver infrastructure upgrades for the benefit of

· · · · ·

our community,” Cr Pennisi said. “These projects will have positive impacts for the community now with creation of jobs during tough economic time and in the future with improved safety for our community. “The prospect of new lighting and resurfacing at Australiana Park’s Velodrome is particularly exciting. “Australiana Park is fast becoming a popular recreational destination with the recent addition of the Learn to Ride Bike Park and the proposed works at the Velodrome will only add to the appeal of the park. “Council initially secured $1,577,341 under the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, of which $1,041,000 has already been approved and allocated. “The selection criteria for the program specifies that all projects are required to deliver benefits to the local community and involve infrastructure that is generally accessible to the general public. “In addition, proposed projects cannot be included in Council’s existing work plan for 2020-21 and must be completed by 30 June 2021.” Works for Queensland program Also at last week’s General Meeting council-

lors endorsed the submission of a variation request to the Department of Local Government, Racing and Multicultural Affairs for new projects to be funded under the 2019-21 Works for Queensland Program Round 3. “The requested projects include a Senior Citizens Shelter in Warwick, skate park repairs and improvements in both Warwick and Stanthorpe, and the construction of the Stanthorpe Netball Association Club House,” a council spokeswoman said. “Council also voted to endorse the submission of variation request to the Department of Local Government, Racing and Multicultural Affairs for existing projects to have their funding allocation altered under the 2019-21 Works for Queensland Program Round 3. “These variations include the Relocation Rose City FM to Queens Park in Warwick from $250,000 to $326,000 ($76,000 increase); and the Leyburn Amenities Upgrade from $140,000 to $160,000 ($20,000 increase). “Council has successfully received funding under two separate rounds of the Department of Local Government, Racing and Multicultural Affair’s Works for Queensland Program.” Councillor for Community Services, Towns and Villages and Disaster Recovery Sheryl Windle said the Works for Queensland Pro-

gram provided “much needed funds to help communities upgrade their infrastructure and improve liveability of a region”. “It is vital that communities benefit from the great work that happens when Local and State Government work together,” Cr Windle said. “We have been able to deliver so many great amenities and services to our community because of the funding support from the Works for Queensland Program. “We have been very fortunate to have received funding from Works for Queensland, and the proposed variations will allow us to serve our community in the best possible way while utilising the support from the Department of Local Government, Racing and Multicultural Affairs. “I’m really excited to continue working with the State Government to improve the liveability of our community and install infrastructure that will benefit our residents for years to come.” For all the latest Council news and information, visit www.sdrc.qld.gov.au.

Goondiwindi councillors meet at Inglewood Goondiwindi Regional Council held its Ordinary Meeting in Inglewood for the first time in 11 years last Thursday 24 September. The last time an Ordinary Meeting of Council was held in a town other than Goondiwindi was in November 2009 - around 20 members of the community attended the meeting and then joined the Mayor and councillors for morning tea at the Inglewood Council Chambers. Mayor of the Goondiwindi region the Honourable Cr Lawrence Springborg AM said the meeting was demonstrative of Council’s commitment to the region as a whole not just Goondiwindi. “I hope I have made it clear that this Council represents the entire 19,284 square kilometres that make up the Goondiwindi Regional Council area,” Cr Springborg said. “I’m extremely glad that we had the opportunity to meet face-to-face with so many members of the community today, and hear first-hand the views of our Inglewood residents. “Council will hold an Ordinary Meeting in Inglewood and Texas every six months on rotation from now on, and I strongly encourage all residents to attend if they can,” he said. “It’s so important to have the views of our smaller towns represented.” The next Ordinary Meeting of Council to be held outside of Goondiwindi is scheduled for March 2021 in Texas. Council will advertise the exact date closer to the time and all residents will be invited to attend.

The Goondiwindi Regional Council meeting at Inglewood last week. The Mayor and other councillors also work from the Inglewood Civic Centre and Texas Cultural Centre on a regular basis. Cr Springborg is usually available in Goondiwindi on Tuesdays, and appointments are also available in Talwood. Residents are encouraged to call 07 4671 7437 if they wish to make an appointment to meet with the Mayor. Cr Springborg said he and his fellow councillors have committed to visit all of the region’s towns and regional centres during frequent road trips scheduled throughout the year. “My fellow councillors and I are proud to represent all residents of the Goondiwindi Regional Council area - and I’d like to emphasise the ‘Regional’ aspect of that,” Cr Springborg said.

Petty re-elected Tenterfield A Ward Councillor Peter Petty was re-elected Mayor for the ninth consecutive year at last week’s Ordinary Council Meeting of the Tenterfield Shire Council. Mayor Petty was the only nomination received for the position. Councillor Greg Sauer was also re-elected, uncontested, for the position of Deputy Mayor, serving his third consecutive year, but fourth year as Deputy Mayor in the current Council term. The current Council term was extended in March 2020 by amendment to the Local Government Act as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic with the next Local Government elections due 4 September 2021. Following his re-election Mayor Petty addressed the Council, thanking them for the

4661 5328

faith they have shown in his leadership. He expressed his sincere thanks to Councillors and staff as working together, many things have been achieved, particularly in the past, extremely difficult, 12 months. “However, we need to focus for the upcoming 12 months and the many projects still to be accomplished, including completing the sealing of Mt Lindesay Road, the ongoing upgrade to Mt Lindesay Road between Legume and Woodenbong, timber bridges, beautification of our villages and the reinstatement of Bruxner Way as a State Highway,” Cr Petty said. “In addition, we need to get back on track with the Tenterfield Heavy Vehicle Bypass and continue our work with Water NSW to develop the Business Case for the Mole River Dam.”

New name, still fresh By Tania Phillips Fresh local produce straight from the people who grow it - that’s what the Granite Belt Farmers Market brings each Friday morning to the centre of Stanthorpe. Celebrating their sixth birthday, the markets have a new name (rebranding from Seasonal Feast to Farmers Market) and despite a tough past year of drought and Covid, they are looking forward to a bright future. Co-op store managers Bridget Ryan and Natasha Jackson said the market aimed to bring the local produce to local people. “We work as a co-op store - selling on behalf of other farmers - so it’s all local produce,” Bridget explained. “We have quite a big organic section and value-added produce. We only sell seasonally so whatever is growing in the region we will sell. “If anyone has got any produce they can come and see us or send us a message on Facebook or something like that.” The pair are both small scale farmers who decided to become involved in what was then called Seasonal Feast. “Tash is bigger than me - she’s an egg producer as well as mixed veggies - so just like a market garden size and we wanted to sell our produce locally,” Bridget explained. “I was involved with the board and Tash came on when the market started just because we wanted to be selling our produce locally.” Tash said there had been a lot of community support for the market which has been held every Friday morning 8am to 1pm since its inception. It has now become a place to come and buy their seasonal fruit and vegetables, meat, eggs, value added goods and also just meet up with their friends and talk to the producers and farmers. “People had it as a bit of social hub before Covid and it’s coming back a little bit,” Bridget said. “People will come into town and they will

Bridget and Natasha. catch up with someone, either on purpose or accidentally, at the market. It allows people who are by themselves to be out and about. “We have buskers there and everyone else wants to busk then they can come along and see Tash or myself.” The market organisers were forced to change their set-up a little to comply with social distancing rules during the Covid lock down period. “The customers very quickly became aware

of social distancing and because we were an essential service like a supermarket or a food provider we were able to continue on. But we did make a few changes which we’ve kept because they worked really well. “Just mainly how we’ve set up our tents we’ve opened it up a lot so it allows for more free flow and visibility from the road. “The drought has been a bit of a challenge because we haven’t had as much produce but we still managed to get through.”

New gen discovers Kev By Tania Phillips A young film and music producer is helping a new generation of music fans discover the music of Ballandean local Kev Carmody. Sian Darling has produced the 2020 edition of the seminal Kev Carmody tribute album Cannot Buy My Soul, first put together by Paul Kelly in 2007. The 2020 edition has new covers of Carmody’s songs from artists including Electric Fields, Kate Miller-Heidke, Courtney Barnett, Kasey Chambers and Jimmy Barnes, Mo’’Ju & Birdz, Alice Skye and Archie Roach as well as additional originals from his extensive catalogue. Sian said it was a trip up to the Southern Downs and Granite Belt that inspired her to take on the project. “I am close friends with Kev Carmody and his partner Beryl and I was staying with them in Ballandean,” she explained. “I was asking Uncle Kev if he could please put all of his stories down into a memoire of sorts. “He said he’d already done that in six albums to which I said - touche.” That conversation saw Sian take a good long look at the music of Kev Carmody, long considered to be one of Australia’s pre-eminent indigenous singer-songwriters. While a new audience was introduced to Carmody’s heart-felt and beautifully crafted songs following the 2007 album - Sian hopes that the 32-track new edition will help bring his songs to an even wider audience. “I went on to listen to the six albums and I thought it was kind of absurd that his songs weren’t more widely known,” Sian said. “I mean not, surprising given Australia’s history - well the way we tell our history for the most part. “But I figured if Kev’s songs were more widely known they could really serve to give more of a balanced and accurate

“He’s really had to navigate being a black person in a country that has racist foundations.” She said her ambition for the project was to encourage a more general audience in Austra-

lia to become more familiar with Kev’s songwriting. The songs are already starting to garner interest around Australia and the album experiencing chart success with particular interest in the atmospheric new Electric Fields version of Carmody’s most famous song (written with Paul Kelly) From Little Things. The song is accompanied by an equally beautiful film clip filmed by Sian and the duo out on Gurindji land - the land at the centre of the song and the birthplace of both Vincent Lingiari and Aboriginal Landrights. The new album was released in early August through EMI Music Australia.

Focus on … Local Business

A double honour... By Tania Phillips Stanthorpe’s Kent Saddlery are taking an old industry and making it relevant to the 21st century - and winning awards in the process. The well-known business have taken out the Small Business award at the prestigious Queensland Training Awards State Finals announced late last week. The Saddlery, established in 1988, had already won the South West Regional Awards and will now go on to represent Queensland in the National Awards announced from Melbourne in late November. For the owners and staff, the award is recognition for their dedication to reviving the art of leather-working and allowing the industry to flourish again through the use of age-old techniques combined with cutting-edge technology including laser printers - which have become an important part of their arsenal. Production manager Josh Furness said the award comes at a time when the business is receiving more visitors than ever thanks to Stanthorpe’s current tourism boom and looking to employ another young apprentice. “It’s nice to get that recognition,” Furness said. “I guess for us it’s about validating our industry and gives us some kudos to grow. To be able to stake a claim on manufacturing and our industry. It was appearing to die and we feel like this has gone a long way to reviving it. “We are advertising for another apprentice

- we approved two apprentices in the past 12 months on top of what we already had.” This will take the number of apprentices to nine. He said the reason they had so many apprentices was because they have been putting the older staff through apprenticeships something they couldn’t do until the courses had been reintroduced and ratified. “We have put on two school leaver apprentices this year and now we are looking for another for the workshop and one for the retail

arm of the business,” Furness said. The Saddlery had worked with several training organisations for seven years to ensure that there were apprenticeship courses available for the leather-working industry. “One of the things we did when we first started looking at it was trying to work with the Saddlers and Harness Makers Association, they virtually threw their hands in the air and said they didn’t want to be involved so we went on our own,” he said.

“We came out the other side with this qualification again.” In a time when people are looking for things that last, the saddlery is leading the way in their industry and training a new generation to continue to the tradition. “That what we do - we make stuff to last and we back that - we don’t just use that as a slogan, we back it up,” he said. “We have had a lot of support from the local community as well as tourists - we have had a lot of tourists through the shop in the past couple of months and that’s made a big difference to our turn-over.” A hundred years ago becoming a leatherworker would have been a normal trade - indeed the first employees at Holden had been saddlemakers. However he said while it might be unusual now, the industry was moving forward and looking towards a bright future. Furness said as well as now working with the latest laser printers, the company also has a metal fabrication arm developng now. Now in its 59th year, the Queensland Training Awards recognize individuals and organisations striving and achieving success, best practice and innovation in vocational education and training. With 14 categories, the awards aim to showcase all that is great about VET in Queensland with categories for apprentices, trainees, vocational students, teachers and trainers as well as training providers and employers.

HISTORY FreeTimes.com.au

Moiominda’s story... By Robert MacMaurice Moiominda was the home of Charles Frederick (C. F.) White and Helena Grace White nee Goodrich. C. F. White purchased the basic land block, with later additions, on 11 April 1918. That was the year that he and his wife sold Pikedale Station, to A. F. C. Rogerson. Pikedale had been run by the White family since 1890, when C. F. White’s father, F. R. White purchased Pikedale from the Gunn family. During C. F. White’s management of Pikedale he made numerous improvements, including the expansion of the substantial homestead built by the Gunn family in the early 1880’s, to include a second storey and extended ground floor rooms with an enlarged kitchen, quarters, billiard room, office space and further veranda space. Sadly that mansion, with over fifty rooms, burnt to the ground on Sunday 3 August 1963. The graciousness and substantiality of the improvements would have been what C. F. White was accustomed to. His family had built numerous houses and properties throughout the new England area and the Hunter Valley, which are now heritage-listed, or well-known. Some of these include Booloominbah, Harben Vale, Edenglassie, Martindale, Belltrees, Saumarez. As an aside, it is a point of interest that C. F. White is the second cousin of Patrick White, the Nobel laureate for literature. Moiominda, which was located at 104 High

Stanthorpe’s “Moiominda’’ had several changes of ownership during its long history. Street, Stanthorpe, was in effect a retirement house for the Whites, after selling Pikedale. Moiominda stood on one and a half acres of ground. It was made up of eight bedrooms, large enclosed verandas, a billiard room, ballroom, lounge, dining room, kitchen, scullery, pantry, maids’ quarters, three septic systems, three bathrooms, garage accommodation for four cars, a ‘man’s’ room, laundry and other buildings. All rooms were of generous proportions containing about 2000 metres of floor space, in total. The house water supply was run by two electric motors, and there was over 1000 metres of water piping. This writer does not know who designed the house, nor who built it. The choice of name is unusual. There was a house in Beaudesert of the same name, and another in Sydney, with the spelling ‘Moiaminda’. Interestingly there is a White family connection

with that house. Other than that, the name Moiominda was used by Archibald Meston in a poem published 1894. Archibald Meston was a politician, public servant, journalist and explorer. From 1898 to 1903 he was the Southern Protector of Aboriginals in Queensland. The name Moiominda seems to refer to a great chief of an Aboriginal tribe. Moiominda was a place of very active social gatherings during the time of the Whites’ residence. The Whites were also benefactors for arguably every community organisation in Stanthorpe, either through land donations, or money or goods. These included the RSL, Red Cross, the Show Society, cricket, football, horse racing, the Soldier Memorial, tennis, schools, and patriotic causes. With the death of C. F. White on 1 September 1940 and the outbreak of World War 2 a year earlier, and most of the White children moving elsewhere because of their marriages, the house presumably became too big for Helena Grace White. She decided to hand Moiominda to the Presbyterian and Methodist Schools Association. With the possible threat of invasion and military headquarters being established in Brisbane, many schools there were taken over for military use. As a result a number of private schools were relocated to Stanthorpe, as a safe area, and Moiominda became a boarding house for Somerville House girls’ school, for the period of the War.

By 1945, with the Somerville House girls returning to their Brisbane school, the Presbyterian and Methodist Schools Association had no further use for Moiominda, and so they placed the house on the market. Moiominda was purchased for three thousand pounds by Clyde Rupert McMahon. Mr. McMahon advertised Moiominda as a guest house in October 1945. The tariff was four pounds, four shillings per week, with garage use, and the contact was Mrs E. McMahon. Mr. and Mrs. McMahon ran Moiominda until 1949 as a guest house, until they sold it to Godfrey Young Knight. Mr Knight also ran Moiominda as a guest house. In 1952 Mr Knight arranged to re-mortgage Moiominda with John Sheahan. However Godfrey Knight died on 11 September 1952. By 17 May 1954 The Corporation of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Toowoomba became the new owners of Moiominda. For a time Moiominda became a school facility but because it was not a purpose built facility for educational purposes, its time had come. How the building was disposed of is not known to this writer. The grounds, however, have become the current day campus for St Joseph’s primary school. It is a great pity that Moiominda was not able to be preserved in some way, perhaps at a different location. It was a grand home created by very influential people in the development of the Stanthorpe region. 12463859-NG40-20

That was the start of my introduction to the world of cancer. My only child Belinda, was calling me from the United States of America. As soon as I heard her voice I know something was wrong. Earlier she had received a phone call from her doctor asking her to go straight to the surgery. She had had a biopsy on a lump in her neck. The results showed she had incurable cancer (NonHodgkin’s Follicular Lymphoma in the B cells.) What could I say to the person who meant

Waiver extends The Queensland Government says the waiving of apiary permit fees for the beekeeping industry will be extended for the rest of this financial year. Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries Mark Furner this week said “like most industries, beekeeping has been hit hard by the ongoing drought and the fires in late 2019-early 2020”. “As well as producing honey, beekeepers provide pollination services that are critical to Queensland’s horticulture industry,” Mr Furner said. “We need a thriving and viable honey bee sector, which pollinates avocados, macadamias, blueberries and melons crops worth hundreds of millions of dollars. “The difficult conditions caused by drought and the bushfires have forced many of our apiarists to take on pollination services in southern states to supplement their income, a strategy which has not been easy due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. “Eonomies across the nation and the world have been heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Palaszczuk Government has moved to ensure important support for the agriculture industry, including specific support for beekeepers.

“Queensland’s honey production was down 30% last year and could fall even further this year, so these fee waivers should provide some much-needed relief. “We’re continuing to support them as we implement Queensland’s $8 billion plan for economic recovery. “The fee waivers and refunds apply to all apiary permits issued by the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF), the Depart-

ment of Environment and Science (DES) and HQPlantations Pty Ltd, effective from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021. “Where permits cover a part of this period, the waiver or refund amount will be determined on a monthly pro-rata basis of the applicable fee. “Permit holders will not need to make a special application to receive the waiver or refund.

Border warning on parthenium With a bumper grain harvest forecast this year the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries (DPI) has alerted people bringing harvesting machinery into NSW from Queensland that they are required by law to ensure equipment crossing the border is free of the devastating parthenium weed and its seeds. NSW DPI State Priority Weeds coordinator Philip Blackmore said while headers are high-risk, all machinery and vehicles which have been in parthenium weed areas of Queensland should be properly cleaned before entering the state. “The person in charge of a header, including the comb and comb trailer, must submit a completed Record of Movement form to an authorised NSW DPI officer at or near the NSW and Queensland border,” Mr Blackmore said. “The form includes a declaration that the header and comb have been cleaned in accordance with Schedule 1 of the Biosecurity Order (Permitted Activities) 2019. “Operators of all machinery, not just harvesters, have a legal duty to prevent their machines from spreading parthenium weed into NSW, which is covered by the General Biosecurity Duty under the NSW Biosecurity Act 2015. “Other listed machinery which must be cleaned to remove all plant material, dust and soil and accumulated grease or be treated with a seed sterilant, includes harvest field bins, augers and any grain movers,

People bringing high-risk harvesting equipment into NSW from Queensland are required by law to ensure equipment crossing the border is free of the devastating parthenium weed. Equipment should be presented for inspection at border crossing sites. All machinery and vehicles which have been in parthenium weed areas of Queensland should be properly cleaned before entering NSW. Picture: NSW DPI IMAGE trucks and low loaders carrying a header, harvest support and escort vehicles, mineral exploration drill rigs and the vehicle transporting the rigs. “People in charge of harvesting equipment should contact an authorised NSW DPI officer prior to arrival at the NSW border

crossing site to minimise delays. “All offices require 48 hours’ notice of intention to present machinery for inspection, which must occur in daylight hours.” More information and contact details for crossing sites and offices are available at www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/biosecurity/weeds/

Ultrasound technology has the potential to accurately and rapidly diagnose bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in Australian feedlot cattle, according to new research. Six months into a project testing the accuracy of a range of diagnostic methods for BRD, thoracic ultrasound has proven to be consistently accurate. The project is funded by MLA in consultation with the Australian Lot Feeders’ Association and involves a multi-institutional research team comprising Apiam Animal Health, Precision Animal Solutions and The University of Sydney. Cattle veterinarian and project leader, Dr Tony Batterham of Apiam Animal Health, said the main objective is to establish a ‘gold standard’ for BRD diagnosis on feedlots in live feeder cattle that supersedes the current postmortem model. “Accurate and rapid diagnosis of BRD remains a major shortfall in mitigating the negative impacts of the disease on animal health and welfare, along with the associated costs to the feedlot industry through performance loss and animal death,” Dr Batterham said. “Having the ability to confidently confirm BRD diagnosis would be an advance on what the industry has been doing for the past 25 years, where diagnosis has been based on subjective observation.” The diagnostic accuracy of a range of tools is being evaluated in addition to ultrasound, such as wearable technology to provide remote continuous monitoring of location and behavioural metrics, as well as in-situ rumen boluses for real-time core body temperature recording. The first six months of the project involved 200 head of commercially sourced feeder cattle that were monitored at a collaborator feedlot site and followed all the way through to slaughter, at which point carcase and respiratory system offal data was collected. The ultrasound surveillance sees the probe applied to the chest of animals so researchers can visualise the lungs and chest cavity to make determinations. “Through this project, we’ve been able to determine it’s possible to use ultrasound to see if there’s an infection, and importantly, to also see where there’s not an infection and the lungs look normal,” Dr Batterham said. “The project to date has shown that ultrasound has consistently agreed with the postmortem findings which is indicating good validation.” Dr Batterham said that the background and preparation for this project took learnings from the dairy industry, where ultrasound has been used for some time diagnosing respiratory disease in calf-rearing operations. “The dairy industry has done a great job establishing descriptions and severity grading systems of respiratory disease in small calves,” Dr Batterham said. “We’ve adapted these in order to operate with our larger beef animals, held in typical feedlot handling facilities where it’s usually harder to access and image the lung field in the forward parts of the chest.”

‘A Green Spring in Qld’ Growcom and the Queensland Horticulture Council (QHC) last week officially launched the Queensland Election policy platform, ‘A Green Spring in Queensland’. In a joint statement the peak bodies said the document “is not only a roadmap for horticulture, it is an action plan to reinvigorate rural and regional Queensland”. “The horticulture industry is incredibly efficient at turning energy, water and sunlight into nutritious produce, employment opportunities and increasing regional wealth,” the statement said. “There is a direct relationship between lowering the price of our inputs, like power and water, over which the Queensland Government enjoys a near monopoly, and the amount of produce we can deliver, the local communities we can support, and the number of Queenslanders we can employ. “For too long Queensland Governments of all colours have treated their pricing of water and electricity as means of indirect taxation. “The QHC is seeking a new deal with the next government. One that recognises the immense contribution we can make, if only they let off the handbrake.” This week we feature some of the key points and messages from the policy platform - with the Queensland election on Saturday 31 October ...

water, over which the Queensland Government enjoys a near monopoly, and the amount of produce we can deliver, the local communities we can support, and the number of Queenslanders we can employ. For too long Queensland governments of all colours have treated their pricing of water and electricity as means of indirect taxation. We need a new deal with the next government. One that recognises the immense contribution we can make, if only they let off the handbrake. To view the full document visit - www.growcom.com.au/a-green-spring-in-queensland/ A new deal with the next Queensland Government ... The horticulture industry is calling for a new deal to be struck with the next Queensland Government. For an industry with so much promise here in Queensland, we lack a vision of where we want to be and a plan of action to get us there. There are statewide strategies in place for the charter fishing and craft brewing industries, but not for production horticulture. We need a focus on horticulture within government, clear lines of responsibility, and we need to empower the right people to take action. The Queensland Horticulture Council calls on the next Queensland Government to commit to: Convening a summit of leaders in Queensland horticulture to set a new vision for our industry within the first 100 days of forming government. Developing a dedicated industry strategy with a set of actions and accountabilities to ensure we arrive at our vision. Appointing an industry-led group to oversee implementation and evaluation of the strategy. Giving the Minister for Agriculture the power to control and direct those government services that are integral to the success of horticulture, including the administration of water and energy resources. Establishing a sub-committee of the Queensland Cabinet, chaired by the Minister for Agriculture, through which priorities for agriculture are identified and progressed. Water security and affordability ... Good government starts with securing the fundamentals of a thriving society. Making sure the population has a safe and secure food supply is the very first responsibility of any government, and that responsibility starts with ensuring the right water infrastructure is in place. Water storages are absolutely essential infrastructure, not just for regional jobs and economies, but for ensuring we have healthy and fresh food sitting on the table in every Queensland home. A predictable and affordable water supply is essential to a growing horticultural industry. It’s essential for securing regional jobs and attracting overseas and interstate investment to Queensland. And yet a number of major horticultural regions across the State are struggling with expensive and insecure water.

By JO MORO, Queensland Horticulture Council Chair The damage caused by COVID-19 to the Queensland horticulture industry and our supply chain partners has been severe. Domestically we lost much of our food service market almost overnight as restaurants and cafes closed and conferences and cruises were cancelled. On top of this, access to many overseas markets for our perishable goods became impossible as airfreight options evaporated. The long term security of our labour supply also remains in question. Despite this disruption, agriculture industries and horticulture in particular remain resilient and possess some of the most promising potential for a rebound of the Queensland economy. A green spring in Queensland is the roadmap developed by the horticulture industry to chart our own recovery from COVID-19. More than this, it is also the launch pad from which we will propel ourselves to even greater long term sustainability and profitability. Horticulture will be the cornerstone of an agriculture led recovery of the Queensland economy. We are the second largest and fastest growing agricultural sector. We are incredibly efficient at turning energy, water and sunlight into nutritious produce, employment opportunities, and increasing regional wealth. A green spring in Queensland is not just a roadmap for horticulture, it’s an action plan to reinvigorate rural and regional Queensland. Letting the handbrake off horticulture is going to be essential for recovering the Queensland economy, and for winning the coming election. There is a direct relationship between lowering the price of our inputs, like power and

· ·

The Queensland Horticulture Council calls on the next Queensland Government to commit to: Maintaining and protecting existing water allocations and entitlements. Removing dam safety costs from irrigation water pricing in perpetuity. Exploring and investing in local water infrastructure projects, to ensure our future water security, that have the support of regional growing associations and groups. Energy affordability ... Energy in Queensland is too expensive. Ever increasing electricity prices are unsustainable, and together with increasing water prices are severely constraining horticultural production and with it regional economic growth and job creation. In recognition of the role to be played by horticulture in an agriculture led recovery of the Queensland economy, we need tariffs in place that are designed not to penalise energy consumption, but promote it. In addition, many growers are already in a position where the use of renewable energy would be advantageous, but are unaware of the benefits.

· · ·

The Queensland Horticulture Council calls on the next Queensland Government to commit to: Implementing a bespoke tariff for agriculture at 16 c/Kwh. Incentivising growers to invest themselves in renewable energy, including the delivery of $10 million over the next four years to be coinvested with growers in renewables. Payroll tax ... Payroll tax acts as a significant deterrent to business growth. Employers approaching the threshold at which payroll tax must be paid make decisions to not put on new workers in order to avoid being slapped with a large tax bill. Compared to many industries, a greater proportion of the costs of producing fresh fruits, vegetables and nuts comes from labour expenses. Labour can often amount to 30-40% of production costs, in for some commodities can be as high as 70%. So payroll tax impacts our industry disproportionately. Letting the handbrake off horticulture involves removing payroll tax for our industry. Continued next page

growers and innovators to solve the most pressing problems identified by industry. Identifying agriculture as priority industry for our economic recovery, and as a priority for grant funding through the Department of State Development, Tourism and Innovation. Biosecurity ... Too often we underappreciate what we’ve got, until it’s gone. This adage could not be more appropriately applied than to our biosecurity. The risk of underinvestment in biosecurity is real. So much of our competitive advantage in growing produce and accessing markets is a result of our superior biosecurity systems, and the absence of serious pests and diseases. We must always be building our investment across the biosecurity continuum, from surveillance at the border to containment and management programs for those pests and diseases that get through. The Queensland Horticulture Council calls on the next Queensland Government to commit to: Ensuring equity of investment between plant and animal biosecurity programs in Queensland that accurately reflects the economic risks each sector faces. Investing more resources into surveillance programs across the north of Queensland, including training to raise awareness in communities across Cape York and the Gulf of Carpentaria. Creating closer networks between individuals in different horticulture growing regions, to share knowledge and information about pest and disease movement and management. Transport and logistics ... Getting Queensland horticultural produce to market efficiently and effectively is just as important as the conditions for growing. Queensland is a big state. The distance and time it takes to reach southern markets, particularly for growers in the Far North, limits opportunities for expanding our industry. In addition, COVID-19 has accelerated changes in consumer preference toward buying online, home delivery, and for locally sourced produce. COVID-19 has also highlighted vulnerabilities in our existing food supply chain and the market dynamics within this supply chain that keep it inherently weak and prone to disruption by future disasters, natural or otherwise. Accelerating, shortening and decentralising food supply chains will drive resiliency, increase the value to all participants in the food system including consumers, and create even more regional jobs. The Queensland Horticulture Council calls on the next Queensland Government to commit to: Upgrading key roads and bridge assets to unlock the potential of important routes for getting Queensland fresh produce to market - including B-Double routes, connections and unhitching pads, and access to inland rail. Developing a plan for building the Queensland Inland Highway as an alternate freight route to the existing Bruce Highway. Investing in alternate fresh produce supply chains that are local, shorter, more decentralised and responsive to changing consumer preferences.

The Queensland Horticulture Council calls on the next Queensland Government to commit to: Launching a strategic review of high value markets for Queensland grown commodities, including a prioritization of the top 10 markets for which we need to invest in protocol development. Investing in the skills and capacity of Queensland horticultural producers for engaging with and accessing overseas markets, including 1) Participation in new virtual and online trade facilitation and platforms; and 2) Building their own online presence and brand that highlights provenance. Researching and developing new cold chain options to reduce dependence on airfreight. Skills, training and labour ... While water, sunlight, soil and seed are important, its people that make our industry grow. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it clear that job security producing fresh fruit and vegetables is second to none. Plus, horticulture is a dynamic and exciting industry with skilled roles that are well paid and lead to rewarding careers. Now is the time we need to be promoting the benefits of our industry to prospective employees. Farm owners, managers and employees need access to training and services to improve supply chain management, business management and leadership skills, and increase efficiencies to allow their business to remain profitable in our ever changing operating environment. The Queensland Horticulture Council calls on the next Queensland Government to commit to: Delivering a public campaign that promotes both the short term seasonal work opportunities in horticulture available to Queenslanders as a result of disruptions caused by COVID-19, and the long term career opportunities for those with relevant skills. Creating a clear pathway from early high school for young Queenslanders to follow, through to the end of high school, into vocational and higher education, then to employment and careers in horticulture. Investing $5 million over four years in support for the Queensland Agriculture Workforce Network and their work in helping growers source skilled and willing workers. Innovation ... Each of the competitive advantages the Queensland horticulture industry currently

enjoys will be challenged in some way by new, disruptive technologies. We are still enjoying the legacy of past significant investments into research and the development of tropical horticulture. This pipeline of improvements must continue to flow. We cannot afford to rest on our laurels. Instead, to maintain our position as the premier state for fresh produce, we must push aggressively into new fields and domains, and accelerate our adoption of new tools and techniques. The Queensland Horticulture Council calls on the next Queensland Government to commit to: Developing a R&D strategy for tropical horticulture to focus our strengths and draw research investment into Queensland from interstate and overseas. Establishing a competitive funding pool of $2 million over four years for horticulture, to assist businesses to commercialise innovative products, processes and services. Creating an innovation adoption fund of $5 million over four years for horticulture, to provide co-investment to businesses wishing to implement cutting edge technologies.

The Queensland Horticulture Council calls on the next Queensland Government to commit to: Providing an exemption for horticulture from payroll tax for the next four years. Drought and climate ... The length and depth of the current drought has reached many parts of our industry that had never before been impacted by a big dry. While some areas have recently had some relieving rain, we are by no means out of the woods. And bank balances will take longer to recover than our crops. Queensland horticulture has not historically had a level of involvement in the formulation of government policies and programs that reflects the significant impacts of droughts on our industry. As a result, the needs of horticulture have not been met with the same support as other agriculture industries. Now is the time for horticulture to declare its interest in shaping the future of drought policies and programs in Queensland. The Queensland Horticulture Council calls on the next Queensland Government to commit to: $5 million in funding each year for programs that enhance long-term climate and drought preparedness and resilience of the horticulture industry. Creating equity between agricultural sectors by extending the 50% rebate for emergency water infrastructure to those growers of permanent tree and vine crops. Properly consult with the horticulture industry, in its own right, on all relevant drought policy and program developments. Including representation of local and regional horticulture industry groups on Local Drought Committees. Reducing fixed water supply tariffs levied on growers proportionate to the reduction in their water entitlement, whenever an irrigation area is drought declared. Sustainability ... The horticulture industry in Queensland must be developed sustainably. This requires horticultural enterprises to be profitable, socially viable and environmentally responsible. There are bargaining power imbalances all the way down the fresh produce supply chain and particularly for growers at the end of the chain. This has translated to even narrower margins, less capacity to innovate and take on risk including new job creating business opportunities, and a reduced capacity to respond to future disruptions and natural disasters. Unfortunately, in some cases, ever narrowing margins for growers also translates into attempts at externalising costs onto the environment, and a higher likelihood of worker exploitation. Despite these challenges, the horticulture industry has a long and successful history of regulating its own behaviour. We have earnt the opportunity to first apply voluntary, workable, industry-led initiatives wherever possible to address labour and natural resource management issues. The Queensland Horticulture Council calls on the next Queensland Government to commit to: Exploring as a priority financial and marketbased incentives to encourage the adoption of improved natural resource management practices, rather than relying on imposing regulation and greater costs on growers. Removing the Waste Levy as it applies to horticulture, or else invest all levy funds raised from horticulture into practical programs and research that will reduce our reliance on single use plastics. Investing $5 million over four years to support growers in Great Barrier Reef catchments to improve their practices and achieve voluntary Reef Certification through the Hort360 Best Management Practice program, and remove horticulture from the current Reef Regulations. Export and market access ... The export of agricultural produce represents one of the greatest opportunities for future growth within the Queensland economy. Where export markets for other agricultural produce are relatively mature, the unrealized export opportunities for horticulture in particular remain immense. There remains many barriers to increasing the export of Queensland fresh produce, including establishing protocols for the safe export of our goods, and simply increasing the awareness of our own industry of the opportunities open to them, and building their skills so that can take these opportunities with both hands.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR FreeTimes.com.au

‘A heartfelt thanks’ After so many years seeing emergency helicopters of LifeFlight overflown past my house over in Guy Street, I always offered my prayer for the crew that they would pick up a patient as a victim ( praying for them too) in a serious status in need of care from Warwick Hospital and take them to a bigger Metropolitan Hospital. And then one day I became the patient in need - first on 5 July 2019 I felt sick with severe pneumonia, my wife initially drove me to the Condamine Medical Centre, then I was transported by Warwick paramedics to Warwick Hospital. There a decision was made to fly me by CareFlight to Toowoomba Base Hospital,

but because of bad weather LifeFlight came to pick me up by ambulance. I was given lots of care by the Toowoomba medical team, they saved my life after five days ICU, all up 12 days in hospital. In early July this year again I felt ill with a severe pain from kidney stones and I was in Warwick Hospital for two days when I attracted pneumonia again. The medical decision was made to fly me by LifeFlight to Logan Hospital. I was there 15 days, they gave the best treatment and care, wonderful medical personnel. So thanks to God I’m still here. Last Friday I was in Toowoomba for a medi-

cal check-up, then my wife and I decided that we better go and see ‘The Big Yellow Bird’ at the LifeFlight centre hangar and gave a personal family donation of $1000, presented to Amy Luhrs, Fundraising Manager of Southwest Queensland LifeFlight. I’m a member of the Lions Club of Warwick Inc, and over the years my club has been involved in annual donations to Care Flight as it used to be called before now known as LifeFlight. Continuing to work with Amy Luhrs is a pleasure. Concetto Lo Giudice Warwick

Warwick Bridge Club notes Members are reminded that they need to book in advance if they wish to play on Monday or Friday. A decision will be made shortly on which of the scheduled special events can go ahead in the current restricted space. By and large our Covid-19 plan is working well. Today’s hand (Board 27) shows Ros Hart and Nea McGinness (E/W winners on Monday) in fine form. All E/W pairs chose to play in spades (not surprising) but only Ros and Nea bid 4S and collected the bonus for making game. When South led the nine of hearts, declarer (Ros, sitting East) was warned that North probably held the King. A winning line from play from here is rising with the Ace and continuing with the Queen. If North covers with the King, declarer can trump it thereby promoting West’s Jack. Trumps are then drawn and the King of clubs is led. It will be a brave South

who plays low. Even then it will be difficult for the defence to avoid conceding the remaining two tricks needed. If, for example, South plays the Ace of diamonds and leads a small diamond, declarer can leave North on lead with the Queen with only hearts left and the Jack sitting in dummy. If South plays those two Aces early, then the defence is over. Results: Friday, 25/09/20 (5 &1/2-table Howell): N. Bonnell B. Bonnell (66.1) 1; R. Hart Jenny Smith (62.5) 2; J. Nankervis T.

WELCOME TO 12 MARIA COURT, STANTHORPE This brand new Executive home is patiently waiting for a family to love her. Just what is an Executive home? Glad you asked. An Executive home is a marketing term for a moderately large and well-appointed home. Often described and built for the ‘high end’ of the market. Others consider an ‘Executive’ home as one where the ‘work from homer’ has access to a separate office and private access to operate a small business or work quietly away from the general run of the household. Perhaps where the owners can easily entertain clients, family or friends. If you are considering any of these things then this home may be exactly what you are looking for. Maria Court provides loads of luxury with those little extras that can sometimes be overlooked when building our new home. It has been cleverly designed to engage the beautiful granite rocks so famous in our local area. The two storey design takes in the magnificent views to the South whilst enjoying the natural bushland of Sentimental rocks to the rear. You can never be built out so you can be assured you will be able to enjoy the views forever. With five outdoor areas to enjoy with family you can enjoy the outdoors in any weather and any time of the day. Imagine having your morning cuppa enjoying the morning sun

and yet be able to enjoy a leisurely BBQ on the deck in the heat of the afternoon. The choice is yours! With quality high end finishes, quality Daikin ducted air conditioning, ceiling fans, build-ins, free standing bath…. The list goes on, but don’t take our word for it.

Garden Time

NEWS

Beatrice Hawkins

Perfumed, pink, pretty One of the beautiful shrubs I’ve seen about in gardens and parks lately is the pink variety of Indian Hawthorn. A beautiful, perfumed addition to any garden as a hedging plant or even in a pot, it is extremely hardy being drought tolerant as well as frost tolerant to -10 degrees!! I didn’t know about it when I lived at Walcha where we regularly had those temperatures in winter ... it would have been a very useful addition to the landscape. The only hawthorn I was aware if those days was definitely a pest although very beautiful in full flower. It had been introduced as a thorny “fence” or hedge and grew into large, almost tree sized, shrubs with beautiful flowers and clusters of red berries that birds loved. Consequently it soon spread from its intended site via droppings and became a real nuisance in grazing paddocks. The site of a hedge in full flower was a delight though if you weren’t aware of the potential problems it caused. As with so many things the old adage rings true “a weed is only a plant out of place” and the common hawthorn certainly fits the “weed” category in many areas of the country. This common hawthorn is crataegus monogyma of the family rosaceae while the Indian hawthorn, of the same family rosaceae, is rhaphiolepis indica, which would seem to indicate that it is native to India, while in fact it comes from southern China. While the Indian hawthorn is of the same family “rosaceae” it is not as rampant or prickly and is more easily contained in a garden but

Pretty in pink - Indian Hawthorn. does have the potential to become a problem and is interesting in that it is listed in the top 200 most invasive plant species in the southern Queensland region. The blue berries that follow the flowers are very attractive to birds of all varieties and this is why it can become a problem. Despite all of this, it is a very beautiful and common shrub in our parks and gardens and comes in a variety of colours and sizes from white through to deep pink and from about 40 cm high to 2 metres high and wide so there is a colour and size to fit most applications. Read the label carefully and ask your trusted nursery person before buying to make sure you have what you really want! So many introduced plants, while beautiful and desirable in a garden, do have the potential to become a problem in our beautiful bush

and this is why I do tend towards growing natives. At the moment many grevilleas are in full flower and come in all sizes, shapes and colours from prostrate forms to large shrubs, from reds and pinks, to whites, yellows, orange and greenish hues. They are certainly bird attracting and provide havens for small native birds, like finches and blue wrens, a welcome addition to any garden, as well as nectar for our many larger parrots. Bottle brush in many colours and sizes are also in full flower around town at the moment and providing a wonderful display. How I look forward to the easing of water restrictions in our area, when we get rain and water in the dams and I am able to develop the garden area I have ready as my native garden. The shrubs planted around the Lighthouse and the Uniting church are mostly natives and provide interest and colour for most of the year. At present eremophilas (emu bush) are putting on a display, some with silver grey foliage and mauve flowers and others in a wide range of colours from creamy white through red and burgundy to a mushroom shade with tiny brown speckles in their throat. Grevilleas in many shades and forms are flowering well and I as fortunate to see the amazing pots of rock lily orchids in bloom in the foyer. In this pandemic it is very important for mental health to be able to be involved in either growing or looking at a garden. Even the chore of mowing a lawn is very beneficial to

both physical and mental health! The huge crowds attracted to the “Carnival of Flowers” in Toowoomba over the last weeks is evidence of this. With our water restrictions though it is very hard to keep even treasured plants alive let alone expand a flower or vegetable garden. Recycling shower and washing water helps but requires dedication and muscle - it is a tiring job bucketing water on to plants!! I have a hose connected to my washing machine and, as my block has a good slope, I am able to reticulate that water onto some of my garden. This is limited as one person doing the washing once a week does not use a lot of water! Prayers for good soaking rain to end this continuing drought, provide subsoil moisture and then run off into our water storages, are still a priority and happen every day. Indoor plants are a good option but I have never had huge success with any of them probably because I am away visiting family so much and the plants get neglected!! Mulching our gardens is also a priority as the weather warms to help retain the moisture we do have and reduce evaporation. Don’t forget the Garden Competition that will be judged on Monday October 5th. As we go to print it is not too late to enter. If you think your garden is not good enough enter anyway - you never know your luck and all entries help to keep the competition that I believe is the longest running in Queensland and maybe Australia, alive. Without your entries we don’t have a competition!

The Spin

SPORT

Casey O’Connor

Let the finals begin Round 20 of the NRL fixtures heralded an end to the regular 2020 NRL season that has been anything but regular. This year will long be remembered as an NRL season like no other. Stop start; bubbles; lockdowns; quarantines, team relocations; player swaps and then of course all of the normal stuff - rule changes; coach sackings; player misbehavior; and upsets aplenty. Two things that will be etched in my mind are the performance of Peter V’Landy’s to ensure there was an NRL season when many had thrown in the white towel and the collapse of the mighty Broncos team and brand. Now after players, coaches, officials, broadcasters and fans have negotiated an uncertain path we’ve made it to the finals series. While the top eight has looked fairly settled for the past few weeks the ladder position of some clubs was only confirmed after some weekend results. To some degree, it has been a predictable season (once you accepted the Broncos were never going to win another game in 2020) but kick-off on Friday night everyone will have their game faces on and for some it will be do or die. There are eight green bottles hanging on the NRL wall at the moment but no team has won the premiership from outside the top four under this current NRL finals system. With mounting injuries and finals experience coming to the fore as the cliche goes anything can happen in September or in this case (thanks to Covid) October. This is how those eight green bottles are looking and may fall. - Casey Penrith: Minor premiers after a club record 15-game winning streak. Workmanlike is how they dismantled the Bulldogs in round 20. The Panthers have been able to win games through the season even when not playing at their best and have the best defensive record in 2020. Nathan Cleary has played to his potential but has not been alone. Jarome Luai; Liam Martin and recruit Api Koroisau’s are names that just roll off the tongue as we head to the finals. At season start many didn’t know they even played for Penrith. Penrith’s run to finals has been pretty soft. In week one they face a Roosters side gunning for a three-pete who had their pants pulled down by South’s in round 20. The Panthers need to bring their best. If not they will get a second chance. Melbourne: Every year the pundits are prepared to write off the Storm and every year they leave the non-believers with egg on their faces. 2020 is no exception. This year they have endured relocation and their share of injuries to key players; Cameron Smith, Cameron Munster, Brandon Smith and Ryan Papenhuyzen .Somehow each week despite the road blocks they turn up with another rookie or another player rejuvenated after being thrown on the scrap heap of another club and continue beating their opposition With nothing to lose and everything to gain Craig Bellamy, the master tactician rested a large contingent of players in the final round. Melbourne play the Eels in the Minor qualifying final at Suncorp on Saturday and the big guns are sure to come out firing against the Eels. The memory of a shock loss to Parra in round 15 sure to be front of mind. Expect the Storm to go deep into the finals and who know they could easily make their fourth GF appearance in the last 10 years. Parramatta: The Eels hit the ground running at the start and restart of the 2020 season. The Blue and Gold army were on a high and dared to dream as Parra played some great footy. But as often happens the wheels fell of the blue and gold wagon mid season. There have been injuries to key players and players who have fallen out of form. Parra looked to be limping into fourth place after a win over the Broncos.

The Penrith Panthers are aiming for a GF after finishing Minor Premiers in the crazy 2020 NRL season A good fighting final 15 minutes against the Tigers last week might herald a return to form. The task ahead - beat Melbourne in week one looks daunting at the least. Sydney Roosters: The Roosters looked to be marching to the beat of their own drum before the round 20. Many prepared to hand them the premiership trophy well before the positions in the top eight were finalised. And then along came the Bunnies. A 60-8 shellacking on the eve of the finals is a loss that cannot be ignored. The coach hoping it was a mere blip on the Roosters’ radar. It certainly wasn’t a performance to crow about. Trent Robinson and his squad will be spending plenty of time analyzing what went wrong and how they can fix it. A hungry Roosters outfit might spell trouble for the Panthers Canberra: After a stellar season last year, the Raiders have maintained their standing as a tough team to beat. That is in spite of losing inspirational hooker and co-captain Josh Hodgson early in the season. The Raiders have won nine of their past 11 since Hodgson was injured. Ricky Stuart borrowed a leaf from Bellamy’s book and rested a raft of players last weekend giving some of the young guns plenty of game time. The baby Raiders did not disappoint notching up a good win over the Sharks who they will face again on Saturday at GIO in the first of the knock out finals The green machine heads into the finals knowing they are one of the few teams to have beaten the Roosters and Storm in 2020.They missed out on a top four spot but it will be an upset if they are not in the mix in week two of the finals. South Sydney: The performance of the Bunnies in round 20 caught everyone off-guard - especially the Roosters. The Bunnies are another team who were predicted to finish top four but faltered. They made the all-encompassing Roosters look mediocre as they bounced back into premiership contention. Everyone knows what Bennett is capable of as a coach and he has confidence in this team. Cody Walker and Adam Reynolds showed what a dangerous combination they can be. Can the Bunnies hold the ball when they need to and can they deliver that round 20 form every game for the next four. They bring an element of the unknown to the finals. Newcastle: The Knights opened the season in positive fashion. With new coach Adam O’Brien came a new attitude Long suffering Knights fans were another who dared to dream. They may have hit a few hurdles along the way but they are in the eight for the first time

since 2013. The Knights have been dominant at home in the past couple of months but after a dreadful loss to the Titans in round 20 they find themselves playing the Bunnies at ANZ on Sunday. For one team it will be sayonara. Kalyn Ponga is their shining star. Starve him of the ball and it stifles the Newcastle attack. Knights fans will be hoping for a miraculous form reversal. Cronulla: The Sharks seem to have slid into the eight while no one was paying attention after a topsy turvy season. They have the worst defensive record in the top eight and are yet to beat a top eight side, but in the eight they are. The loss of Shaun Johnson who suffered an ACL injury two weeks out from the finals has many putting a line through the team. Travelling to Canberra to play the Green Machine at home is a tough gig at anytime. In a knockout final it goes to another level. Their coach remains positive. The one thing we know is the Sharks won’t go down without a fight.

UNITED ON TOP BUT VULTURES CIRCLING Stanthorpe United Redbacks remain at the head of the competition ladder in the Toowoomba Premier league despite suffering their second loss in as many weeks last round but the vultures are circling. What is most concerning is the heavy injury toll that came out of the game against St Albans on Sunday afternoon. The season looks to be over for Ben Rametta after he was stretched off the paddock 20 minutes into the game with what looked to be a serious ankle injury. Adding to the Redbacks injury woes Brad Thompson suffered a serious groin tear late in the game and scans this week will reveal the extent of the damage he suffered. It adds to the ever-growing list of United men unavailable due to injury and will test the depth of the squad in coming weeks. St Albans were out of the blocks quickly in Sunday’s game taking the lead after only 15 minutes of play when the competitions leading goal scorer, Webber was able to run with the ball and shoot from 20 meters out giving Carnell no chance. St Albans were able to hold their one nil lead until half time. When play resumed United’s Andrew Crestani found the back of the net to equalise 10 minutes into the second half. United’s spirits lifted and they were back in the game. St Alban’s took a two-one lead on the back of another Webber goal. Shortly after United found themselves down to 10 men when Crestani received his second yellow card. A strong run by the Redback’s Hunter Murphy saw his shot at goal parred away but Thompson followed up to level the scores at two-all. AS the clock wound down St Albans found space late in the game to create on final attempt which they converted and claimed a three-two win. It was a frustrating loss for the Redbacks. This weekend the Redbacks host Gatton at Warwick in what will be a tough assignment. With semi final spots still up for grabs United will be without both Crestani brothers and Thompson unavailable while Halford, Hitchener and McDonald all remain in doubt.

STANTHOPRE CRICKET AGM The Stanthorpe Cricket Association will hold their AGM tonight (Thursday 1 October) at the Stanthorpe Club House commencing at 7pm.

Molly Scotney and Kris McLennan overall winners of the very successful GrennKeepers Challenge Golf Day held in Warwick last weekend. The pair scored seven under par to claim the win. They are pictured being congratulated by the event sponsor as they collected their spoils.

SHIVER ME GOLFING TIMBERS Sporter’s golf resumed in Stanthorpe last Sunday after a one week lay-off due to the charity day. On Sunday as if on cue as soon as play started, the breeze picked up and another cold morning followed. Angelo Maugeri was seen shivering at one stage but he managed to keep his ball on the fairways most of the time resulting in a winning round. But for a six recorded on the par three third hole, his score would have been even more impressive. Dick Hilton also played a steady round to be a couple of shots back from the winner with a score good enough to collect runner up prize. Paul Armstrong had the lowest gross score on the day, 41 for the round. Not a bad effort considering the wind factor. Worst score of the day was from Mark Lynam but he did enjoy the packet of chips presented to him. Sporters is on again on Sunday morning. Tee off is from 7.30 am for a nine hole competition. All interested players are welcome to come along and enjoy a morning’s walk on the golf course.(Hopefully Spring will have returned).

BARTY PINCHES SOME LOCAL SILVERWARE While some players at Roland Garros are unhappy about a change in tennis balls, Ash Barty has chosen to give the tournament a miss due to COVID-19 and will not defend her title. It does not mean she has taken her eye off the ball. Quite the opposite. In fact, she has been busily eyeing off another ball. Not satisfied with having a World No 1 tennis ranking in her resume, alongside her success as a cricketer with the Brisbane Heat, Barty recently Barty is now also officially the Brookwater Golf Club Women’s Champion. With a swing that has even had Tiger Woods gushing, the multi-talented sport’s star claimed the trophy with a commanding seven and five triumph in the match play final. She qualified as top seed for the last-eight of the match-play component with rounds of 77 and 80 on the par-72 course, and also won her semi-final with five holes to play. Two-time Queensland amateur champion, Louis Dobbelaar and winner of the Men’s club championship says of Barty, “She’s got all the tools if she wants to pursue it (golf). “I’ve seen quite a lot of golfers come from different sports and she’s the one that stands out the most - by far actually. Her ball-striking is really good,” he said. Should be no surprise really, golf is in Barty’s blood. Father Robert represented Australia as an amateur. This is a lady who loves to hit a ball, any ball really and obviously has a liking for a bit of silverware. Like a lot of tennis fans I hope she doesn’t become too enamored with golf.

RUNNER UP TO WINNER IN A WEEK

On Saturday Dave Burgess showed how you go from runner-up to winner after he and playing partner, Scott Constable, combined to win the Howard and Sons cups. Playing a Canadian foursome, the pair returned a gross score of 77 strokes for a nett score of 75 1/8 . They played the front nine in 38 and were home nine in 39 including three birdies for the day. Runner-up was the team of Stephen Kay and Mark McCosker who were a full eighth of a shot short of the winning score. In fact, there was only one shot difference between the winners and fourth place with Brendon Barker and Jason Bacon taking first run down and third place and Lyle Bryant and Barry Hughes collecting second run down with 76 1/8 . Kay Webb and Helen Jones won the ladies event after finishing close to three clear of the second placed ladies team of Trish Fittock and Madeline Jarman. Shaneen McLellan and Sandra Morris were the recipients of the ladies run down prizes. Thanks to Mal, Terry and Fred Howard for sponsoring the day’s play. The winners names will now be engraved on the Howard and Sons Canadian Foursomes cups. Play was temporarily delayed when one team found a fishhook embedded in the tyre of their buggy - not something you see too often on the Stanthorpe course. After removing the hook, it didn’t take long for the tyre to go very flat. Everyone knows the Howard boys are keen anglers but a fishhook in your buggy tyre - even they were at a loss to explain. Perhaps it was a sign from the golfing gods that they were not meant to win because not only was the tyre flat but so too was their play for the remainder of the day. While some players are still trying to get their heads around the saga of the fishhook, the time sheets for the mixed foursomes championships and the Stanthorpe Open carnival have been posted. The open carnival already is quite full and if you are chasing a particular time slot, players should register as soon as possible. This Saturday is the last chance for players to qualify for the Medal of Medallists playoff with the October monthly medal and putting competitions to be played in an individual stroke round. Play will be sponsored by club members, Ian Harvey and Rino Piovesan. A reminder to all Players that the club is changing back to the summer tee off times with play scheduled to commence at the later time of 11.30 am. There is a time sheet is on the board for this week’s comepitition.

NTP winners were Ron Simon (7th), Stephen Shaw (11th) and Peter Balfour (16th). Brendan Landrigan won four balls for the pro pin; Richard Bohm three and Peter Farrell one ball. The rundown, pins and pro pin pools were lighter than usual with the smaller field size as most members were playing on Sunday in the Greenkeeper’s day jointly sponsored by Elders Insurance. And what a day it was. A capacity field of 122 teed off on Sunday. It was a great turnout to aid Nathan Bell and special thanks to Warren from Elders Insurance and to the greenkeepers, Craig and Jake for sponsoring this special day to aid Nathan. Other sponsors including Sam the Pro and the various hole sponsors who all helped to make it a great day out for Nathan, his family and all of the players. It was great to have Nathan present on the day and we all wish him the best in his current health battle. The big winners in the Two Ball Ambrose event were Kris McLennan and Molly Scotney who had an amazing seven under off the stick for a 57.5 nett result which was over three shots in front of the next best on the day. What a great round. The overall nett runners up were William Martin and Peter Gribbin (60.75). The women’s nett winners were Ann Thomkins and Patti Hemmings. The women’s nett runners up were Tub Ingall and Lorraine Callaghan.

LADIES BUSY ON THE FAIRWAYS AND GREENS On Wednesday (Sept 23) the Warwick Ladies played the Women’s midweek Monthly Medal in awesome conditions. The medal event sponsored by the Warwick RSL Memorial Club and the Ladies appreciate the RSL sponsorship in such difficult times.

News of the sudden death of cricketer Dean Jones while commentating in India shocked the cricket and sporting world. The swashbuckling batsman who brought cricket to life in the halcyon days of the late 80’s and 90’s was a popular figure and revered in India. He is pictured with his former captain during a 40 over match played in 1994 at the MCG to honour the batsman. Border who remained close to his former teammate was shattered by the news.

The winner of Division One was the everconsistent Margaret Adcock. A fine round of 70nett gave her a convincing win over Anna Cox (73nett) another player in great form. The Division Two winner Tub Ingall, has found her form and is enjoying the few extra shots the handicapper has recently given her. Scoring a super 69 nett, the ever consistent Viki Bennett was the runner up. Her score 70 nett. Balls in the rundown went to Dian Macdonald (72), Yvonne Pinington (75), Roslyn Darton and Janine Stewart (76). The extra balls went the way of Melanie McLennan and Jill Barnes (76) and Sharron Cooper and Joan Burt 77. Anyone on the golf course in the cold blustery conditions was certainly a dedicated golfer and there were a bunch of ladies keen to battle in the Warwick Sandstone Stableford, playing off the White Markers. Again thanks to Wendy and Wayne Rhea for their great sponsorship which is never taken for granted and is greatly appreciated. Congratulations to the winner Gwen Mills who toughed it out in the wind to take home the prize with a great score of 36 points. The balls in the rundown went to Michelle Wright 34, and Joely Singleton 33. The extra balls went to Yvonne Pinington 32, Janine Stewart, Tub Ingall and Janet Davis (31). Patricia Eastwell had a winning front nine with 19pts. Honours on the back nine went to Michelle Wright with 18pts. On Sunday a capacity field supported the Greenkeeper’s Revenge, the Two Ball Ambrose All proceeds from the day will go to the club’s very popular Nathan Bell to help with his ongoing medical expenses. Special thanks to the ladies who played. Many finished in the winner’s circle. With a seven under score of 57.5 nett, Molly Scotney and her partner Kris McLennan were the overall winners and took home the major prize. Patti Hemmings and Anne Tomkins won the Women’s Team section with 69 nett, with Tub Ingall and our Condi cleaner Lorraine Callaghan close behind as runner-ups. Annice and husband Mick Payne won the mixed their score 62.75. One of the club’s youngest players Dakota Landrigan partnered her Dad Brendan and were runners up in the Mixed just one shot behind the winners. It was a very successful day and a big thank you to Secretary Michelle Wright who does a fantastic job on Facebook keeping everyone up to date with the latest results. This Saturday October 3 play will be for the October Monthly Medal and Wednesday (Oct 10) is the popular Single Stableford 18/9 hole comp sponsored by Styles Shoes.

ANTARTICIA MEETS STANTHORPE GREENS In conditions that would have made Douglas Mawson and his Antarctic adventurers feel right at home the stalwarts of the Stanthorpe Bowling club faced the elements on Saturday to play a game of three bow triples and also a game of pairs.

ALL ABOUT PICKLEBALL Did you know that a Pickleball competition runs in Warwick? Do you know what Pickle Ball is all about? Pickle Ball is a popular and fast growing paddleball sport (similar to a racquet sport) combining elements of badminton, table tennis, and tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles to hit a ball perforated with 26-40 round holes over a net. Pickleball shares features of other racquet sports: the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and modified rules similar to tennis. Pickleball was invented in the mid 1960s in the USA and is growing in popularity throughout Australia. The game is suited to anyone over 12 years and is played indoors in Warwick at the WIRAC centre on a Wednesday night. Games begin at 6pm. A beginner’s day will be held at WIRAC on Saturday 12 October, World Pickleball Day. Sign in is at 8.45am and the session runs from 9am - 11am You can register for the Beginner’s day or signup for regular playing sessions by emailing club secretary Helen O’Brien,( 0429 065 175) at mail2sdpa@gmail.com.
