‘Water-wise’ call The Southern Downs Regional Council says it has issued no fines for excess household water consumption since restrictions were last relaxed in March of this year, but has warned that “continued non-compliance” could attract “financial penalties”. Town water restrictions have been capped at 120 litres per person per day since March when they were relaxed from 80 litres, partly in recognition of what the council said was the need for “increased hygiene” related to COVID-19. Some residents have suggested to the Free Times in recent weeks that the current water restrictions should be further relaxed in light of the regions’ dams holding just over two years’ worth of town water supplies, but Mayor

Vic Pennisi has so far given no indication this will be the case. Indeed, with this week being ‘National Water Week’ Cr Pennisi and the SDRC are encouraging residents to take part in the ‘One Bucket Challenge’ to raise awareness about excess water use. The ‘challenge’ involves filling a 10-litre bucket with water and using it as your only household water supply for one night - no taps, no showers, and no running water between 5pm and 5am. National Water Week coincides with the release by the council of the latest water consumption data for the region - based on September water meter readings - which shows residents of most towns and villages in the region were exceeding the 120 litre per person

per day limit, perhaps to be expected with the arrival of warmer weather. Only Dalveen, Leyburn and Yangan households came in below the restriction limit last month. Warwick and Stanthorpe were both on just under 160 litres per person per day based on the September data. Reports to the October round of council meetings state that “approximately” 120 households across the region have been identified by council officers as “potential high use cases”. So far council officers have taken a “personal, educative approach” to excess water use but if excess use continues households consistently exceeding the restrictions could face a $399 fine. Compliance activities in relation to water use involve the issuing of a ‘compliance

A council spokeswoman said council officers apply an average of 2.4 persons per household in calculating average ‘per person’ water use taken from meter readings. “In early March water restrictions were relaxed from 80 litres per person per day to 120 litres per person per day in recognition of the need for increased hygiene following the rise of COVID-19,” the spokeswoman told the Free Times this week. “In light of the stresses our community was facing from COVID-19, very few compliance notices were issued during that time - only five compliance notices and no fines.

Students returning to Killarney State School this term have been welcomed by a familiar face - long-serving school crossing supervisor Sharon Byrne. Transport and Main Roads Customer Services Branch general manager Geoff Magoffin said Sharon is among the state’s most dedicated supervisors. “Sharon’s commitment to guarding the safety and wellbeing of our school kids has rightly earned her a place as a highly valued identity in the community,” Mr Magoffin said. “Since starting as a supervisor in 1984 she’s seen quite a few changes but one thing remains unchanged and that’s her message to drivers.” Sharon puts it very simply “It is so important for drivers to slow down and be alert when travelling through school zones,” she said. “Children can be unpredictable, which is why drivers should take extra caution to ap-

proach school areas slowly and watch out for kids. “Distracted drivers can be particularly dangerous around schools - it’s important to keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel at all times. “In my 36 years as a school crossing supervisor I’ve seen people eating and even putting on makeup while driving and more recently using their mobile phones. “While it’s my job as a supervisor to help children safely cross the road, protecting the safety of our kids doesn’t only rest with me. “Everyone has a role to play when it comes to road safety.” Be aware ... TMR says drivers can do their part around schools by following these tips ... Never double park, park in ‘no-stopping’ zones or use them as drop-off areas. Don’t park on pedestrian (zebra) crossings or 20 metres before and 10 metres after a

pedestrian crossing (it makes it difficult for children to cross and for motorists and school crossing supervisors to see). Always obey the instructions of school crossing supervisors by stopping and waiting until all pedestrians have crossed the road and the supervisor has returned to the kerb.

The editor’s desk I hope readers find as much inspiration in a couple of the items in this week’s Free Times as I did - namely the visit of Johnathan Thurston to schools in Stanthorpe, and a profile on Auxiliary Firefighter Jenny Cooper. You don’t need to be a footy fanatic to admire ‘JT’ but it’s true that he has provided inspiration to countless junior footy players around Australia for many years now, including many in the Indigenous community. But his message about resilience in the face of life’s challenges resonates both on and off the footy field and it’s one few of us would fail to find relatable. His humility and his ability to connect with the young in particular are both notable, but he’s also proud of and remains deeply connected to his own roots, which is itself inspirational. Likewise it was a pleasure to chat with Jenny Cooper, who is one of around 100 Auxiliary Firefighters in our region. I really feel the term ‘Auxiliary’ doesn’t do their role justice - they’re part-time firefighters but they require all of the same skills and training as do the fulltimers - and resilience is something all of our emergency services personnel need plenty of. It’s easy to overlook the fact that firefighters frequently attend the scenes of road accidents as well as fires, and those experiences can take the same kind of toll on their mental health as they do on our police and our paramedics. They all need the support of not only their own loved ones but the community as a whole. It was also eye-opening to learn more about the challenges Auxiliary Firefighters face when juggling that important role with other work demands. My thanks to Jenny for taking time to share her story with readers this week.

‘Be water-wise’... From Page1 “Cases of high consumption were still followed up, however, compliance staff used the opportunity to speak to people as an education tool regarding water usage. “Consumption data from the latest water meter readings has now been received and compliance staff will follow up with compliance notices and the issue of fines for continued non-compliance.” Carting of town water by road for Stanthorpe from Connolly Dam in Warwick continues at a cost of around $800,000 a month, met by the State Government which has committed to continuing that service until at least February next year, having spoken of hope for the summer “rain season”. But Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has repeatedly said she will not allow Stanthorpe to run out of water. RIGHT: SDRC graph showing regional water consumption for September. The ‘One Bucket Challenge’ A spokeswoman said the Southern Downs Regional Council “is calling on the community to reflect on their daily water usage during the 2020 National Water Week to ensure there is enough water to meet our future needs”. “Held every year in the third week of October, the theme for 2020 is ‘Reimagining our Water Future’, and this should strike a chord with Southern Downs residents who have been on water restrictions for more than two years”. The spokeswoman said a new initiative offered this year is ‘Water Night’ - officially tonight, Thursday 22 October - but the Free Times assumes residents can take the ‘One Bucket Challenge’ whenever they feel so inclined. “Council is encouraging residents to consider the challenge and use the equivalent of one bucket of water, no taps, no showers, and no running water between 5pm and 5am,” the spokeswoman said. “To participate in the ‘One Bucket Challenge’, simply fill one standard bucket or 10 one-litre water bottles to keep your water allowance in.” Mayor Vic Pennisi said while the use of water for COVID-19 hygiene, drinking and religious reasons is not restricted, the challenge aims to highlight how often we unconsciously reach for the tap. “It’s very easy to reach for the tap when we need water, but have we considered the necessity and frequency?” Cr Pennisi said. “The Water Night challenge is a novel approach to remind us how we use water and help break the habit of unnecessarily on turning on taps. “There is no question we are doing our best to reduce usage and conserve water as we grapple ongoing drought, and I applaud our residents and businesses for their efforts in rallying behind the region’s water restrictions. “However, it is important we stay on top of our water usage as we continue to cart

water to Stanthorpe and Extreme Level water restrictions still apply.” For more tips on the ‘One Bucket Challenge’ visit www.waternight.com.au - one hint is to place tape or tea towels on your taps to remind you not to touch them. Feedback wanted ... The council has also been seeking feedback on the current water restrictions as part of the preparation of a Drought Management Plan. Residents, businesses and community groups are 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. Submissions close this Sunday 25 October 2020 - visit www.sdrc.qld.gov.au for more information. Extreme Level water restrictions of 120 litres per person per day currently 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. Rural water carting Free carting for potable water will soon be available to rural residents not connected to the reticulated water supply network after the council last week endorsed guidelines for its delivery. A spokeswoman said under the Federal Government’s Extension to the Drought Communities Programme “council has allocated $200,000 to cart water to rural residents, with the cost of the water to be the responsibility of the resident”. Mayor Vic Pennisi said the council had “long been reviewing options to assist rural residents significantly impacted by the ongoing drought, and free water carting would offer a welcomed helping hand”. “Council understands that our rural residents continue to battle the effects of severe drought conditions,” Cr Pennisi said. “We secured funding from the Austra-

· ·

lian Government to ease the burden with drought relief and will funnel a proportion of this into relief through free water carting. “We expect that this program will be embraced by the rural community with the possibility of over-subscription. “To ensure this funding is equitably distributed, carting will be available through an Expression of Interest process. “To avoid disappointment, I really encourage everyone to submit their application early and not wait until the last day or the day after the Expression of Interest has closed. “Anyone with questions about the process should contact Council for more information. “As our region is still drought declared, residents should keep in mind that there are other agencies and organisations that may be able to assist or subsidise the cost of the water. “Council will continue to explore all funding avenues to support our community during these tough times.” Program eligibility is subject to the following criteria: Applicants must apply through an Expression of Interest program. Cartage will be capped at one delivery for a maximum of 22,500L per property for potable water. Recipients cannot access reticulated water from Council’s system for three months following the delivery. Based on average water carting costs, it is envisaged that approximately 550 loads would be available through the program. Council secured a total of $1m under this round of Australian Government funding, of which $600,000 was distributed into community infrastructure projects and $200,000 into shade structure at Council parks. These projects are currently underway. To enquire contact the council on 1300 697 372.

Funding for Gundy arts Arts and cultural events across the Goondiwindi region will be able to access increased funding opportunities as the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) opens for 2020-21. More than $58,000 will be available to eligible recipients, equally co-funded by Goondiwindi Regional Council and Arts Queensland. Applications are now open to organisations, individual artists and project coordinators to fund arts and cultural activities. Applicants can lodge their submissions online via Council’s website. Mayor of the Goondiwindi region Cr Lawrence Springborg AM visited the Goondiwindi State High School last week to see some of their Expressive Arts Week activities. He said the RADF funding played an important part in encouraging arts and cultural events right across the region. “I think it’s very clear from everything I’ve seen here at Expressive Arts Week just how much the arts enrich our life and how important they are for a strong and inclusive community,” Cr Springborg said. “The RADF funding provides a really valuable opportunity to support the role and the value of arts, culture and heritage in our region - especially for our young people, whose development is one of the priorities for this funding,” he said. Previous recipients of the RADF program include Lanescape, Inglewood Children’s Theatre and Texas Festival of Small Halls.

Goondiwindi SHS “Expressive Arts” participants. Priorities of the program include developing regional skills and building cultural capacity and tourism, as well as developing artsbased health and wellbeing projects. Youth development, improved social connection and community exposure to varied art forms and cultural activities are also key drivers of the funding. Cr Phil O’Shea holds Council’s portfolio for Arts and Culture and also serves on the RADF committee, an advisory committee that consists of local artists, cultural workers and community leaders. He is strongly encouraging local community groups and event organisers to get their applications in early. “We’re very fortunate to have such an active, vibrant arts scene here in the Goondiwindi region,” Cr O’Shea said. “Whether you’re an artist or a photographer or you have a great event or workshop idea -

this funding is a great opportunity and I’d really encourage everyone to get their applications in early to avoid disappointment. Applications can be made directly from Council’s new online grants portal, so it’s straightforward to apply.” The Regional Arts Development Fund is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Goondiwindi Regional Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland. Applications for the RADF will be open all year round, but as funds are limited, early applications are encouraged.

In recognition of her tireless and dedicated service to the region and community, former Councillor and Deputy Mayor Mally McMurtrie has been honoured as the namesake of two new community amenities at Quart Pot Creek, Stanthorpe. A Southern Downs Regional Council spokeswoman said the recently completed pedestrian bridge at Gleeson Park will be named ‘McMurtries Bridge’ and the running circuit used for parkrun ‘Mallys Way’ “after Councillors voted unanimously in favour of the motion at the Ordinary Meeting on Wednesday 14 October”. Mayor Vic Pennisi said Mally is highly respected in the local community and a strong advocate for the region. “This is fitting recognition for Mally’s outstanding public service and selfless contribution to the community over the years,” Cr Pennisi said. “Her record is unbelievable and we can’t begin to mention the unknown work she did in the background. “When you begin to unpick Mally, she is an absolute friend to everyone. “I fully support this motion and it’s an honour to pay tribute to Mally in this way and celebrate her service to the community.” Councillor Jo McNally said it was a privilege to move the motion. “Mally has always been exemplary in everything she’s done,” Cr McNally said. “She was a great role model for me when I started on Council ten years ago. “She actually encouraged me to join the Australian Local Government Women’s Association of which she was as life member and was given the award when our Council hosted the State Conference. “She has done lot for the community over the years and is a quiet and tireless worker for the Stanthorpe community and it’s great that she can be remembered now and into the future for Stanthorpe and the Southern Downs.” The SDRC spokeswoman said Mally’s political career spanned 17 years serving as a Councillor and Deputy Mayor for Stanthorpe Shire Council and a Councillor for Southern Downs Regional Council. “Mally has also served on various boards and committees in the Stanthorpe area over the years and has always put the interests of Stanthorpe and its citizens before her own,” she said. “When Mally was informed of Council’s decision, she said, ‘My heart melted - thank you for what you have all done’. “Her husband Dave saw a humorous side to the honour and suggested that his wife might be able to introduce a toll now that she has a bridge in her name!”

Major capital spending By Jeremy Sollars Just because it’s under the ground and you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not important - or expensive to maintain and upgrade. The Southern Downs Regional Council will this financial year spend almost $4.5 million on upgrades to and replacement of parts of the region’s sewerage or ‘wastewater’ network including pump stations and sewer mains. The capital works are in addition to a similar amount - which includes state government funding - being spent on a massive upgrade to Warwick’s recycled water system, which treats the Rose City’s wastewater and re-purposes it for both community and potential future commercial use. Like many older regional towns in Queensland Warwick’s and Stanthorpe’s wastewater systems are aging and require significant capital funding to ensure they continue to operate efficiently. Failures in the wastewater system in recent years which have resulted in accidental sewage overflows into both the Condamine River in Warwick and Quart Pot Creek in Stanthorpe have also caused the council to run foul of the Queensland Government’s environmental regulations - but fortunately for ratepayers these to date have not incurred significant financial penalties for the council. Sewage is moved around Warwick and Stanthorpe - and ultimately to both towns’ wastewater treatment plants - by a complex network of sewerage lines and pumping stations, a system which can be prone to overload and overflow during extreme rainfall if stormwater infiltrates the network through pipe and pump station failures. Many key functions of the network can be monitored and controlled remotely by operators but others must be physically inspected and if necessary de-activated by council staff. Potential fines for sewage discharge into waterways under state environmental laws can be up to $3 million if local councils are found to have been negligent. Overflows into Quart Pot Creek in 2016 and 2017 were caused in part by a lack of maintenance of the Stanthorpe Wastewater Treatment Plant (STP), as previously revealed by the Free Times following a Right To Information (RTI) application. Illegal private household stormwater connections into the sewerage network - and tree roots - can also contribute to overloading, as can improper disposal by households and businesses down toilets of non-degradable items other than ordinary toilet paper, such as cleaning wipes. Adding to the issues is the particularly shallow depth of sewer lines across Stanthorpe, which increases the risk of breaks, blockages and tree damage. In the current 2020-2021 financial year the council has budgeted just under $4,458,480 for the following sewerage system works in the region: Market Square pump station upgrade (Warwick) - $346,285 Sewerage rising main renewal O’Leary Street (Warwick) - $350,000 Harris Street pump station upgrade (Stanthorpe) - $110,720 Stanthorpe Wastewater Treatment Plant equipment upgrades - $280,000 Relining of sewer mains (Warwick and Stanthorpe) - $250,000 Warwick Wastewater Treatment Plant retaining walls remediation - $400,000 McEvoy Street pump station upgrade (Warwick) - $151,488 Condamine Street pump station upgrade (Warwick) - $268,551 Cleary Street pump station upgrade (Warwick) - $1,271,428 Pump station emergency bypass designs $50,000 Sewer rising main renewal (Warwick and Stanthorpe) - $500,000 Sewer rising main replacement (Warwick and Stanthorpe) - $360,000 Stanthorpe Wastewater Treatment Plant feasibility study (potential re-location of plant) - $120,000 Extension project progressing...

Treated wastewater from the Warwick Wastewater Treatment Plant is sent through the recycled water network. The council will seek expressions of interest from business in the Warwick industrial estates for the recycled water pipeline extension which is currently under construction.

gressing on a large holding tank adjacent to the Saleyards truck wash in recent weeks. The holding tank and associated treatment equipment will recycle water from the truck wash - currently 100 per cent supplied with town water - which the council says will reduce town water usage at the truck wash by 90 per cent. Of the $650,000 being spent on the project $500,000 is state government money through the Building Our Region (BOR) program and the rest is council-funded. The council will however be responsible for any cost over-runs from the project. In addition to the truck wash water recycling project the council is currently constructing a $3,772,729 extension to Warwick’s recycled water network, which runs from the Warwick Wastewater Treatment Plant at the far western end of Victoria Street, adjacent to the Warwick General Cemetery. Sewage wastewater is treated at the plant and then run through the original recycled water pipeline which supplies recycled water to the Warwick Golf Course, the Warwick Turf Club (Allman Park Racecourse), The Scots PGC College, Warwick State High School and sporting facilities in Queens Park. Those users pay $253 per megalitre for the recycled water under current agreements with the council. The extension to the recycled network separate to the truck wash component - will see the pipeline extended to the ‘old’ Warwick

Industrial Estate off McEvoy Street and the newer industrial area off Kenilworth Street, as well as further east to rural areas along Canningvale Road. The council has said the Canningvale Road extension will service existing and potential future agricultural enterprises but has not been specific about who those users might be. The council is also yet to secure contractual agreements with any commercial users of the recycled water network extension in the industrial estates, although Mayor Vic Pennisi has told the Free Times informal discussions have been held in recent months with potential users. The council is yet to issue any formal ‘Expressions of Interest’ (EOI) process for water from the extended network. One limitation of the recycled water network is that the water itself is currently treated to ‘A’ standard - Australian standards require recycled water used in food-related industries to be treated to ‘A+’ level. The recycled water network extension was announced by the previous council administration under former Mayor Tracy Dobie in April 2019. Water reduced to Lyndhurst The extension of the Warwick recycled water network will mean volumes of wastewater currently supplied to Lyndhurst Stud will be significantly reduced. Lyndhurst - which borders the stretch of the

Condamine River below the Warwick Wastewater Treatment Plant - has for several decades received varying amounts of wastewater generated from the treatment plant, which it has used for fodder irrigation. Lyndhurst is recognised as one of Australia’s leading thoroughbred racehorse breeding operations. While Lyndhurst has received the water at no cost it is only treated to the lowest ‘Class C’ standard, which essentially means removal of solid matter and basic disinfection. The arrangement has also benefitted the council in allowing it for some years to dispose of up to 50 per cent of wastewater from the treatment plant which is not sent down the recycled network, and which under environmental laws cannot be disposed of down the Condamine. The water is supplied to Lyndhurst via a pipeline running under the Condamine River from the plant which transfers the water into storages on Lyndhurst. Lyndhurst Stud spokesman Jeff Kruger this week told the Free Times his family accepts their wastewater supply will be reduced due to the recycled water network extension and will in future supplement their irrigation from bores on their property. But Mr Kruger also said he understands the council will retain the ability to divert wastewater to Lyndhurst Stud in emergency situations, such as heavy rainfall causing overflow from the treatment plant which would otherwise flow illegally into the Condamine River.

More than ‘Auxiliary’... reason so the next person will come in. “There’s a lot of training and it’s continual - we train every week and some weekends, so you’ve got to be committed to giving away some of your weekends. “Fitness if also a requirement, certainly a reasonable level. “But just as important, possibly even more so, is the ability to retain information and acquire new skills, and to keep those skills up. “There’s new equipment coming in all the time and all the auxiliaries have to be fully trained to use it. “You also need to be able to drive the appliances (trucks) so an MR licence or the ability to obtain one is another requirement, along with a Blue Card and a First Aid Certificate and police checks.” Another key point to be aware of is that QFES personnel can face confronting scenes at some traffic accidents, along with their counterparts in the police and ambulance services. “But one of the real positives of the role is there’s a lot of variety in the jobs we get called out to - a couple of weeks ago we had to go out early in the morning to a plane forced to make an emergency landing on Junabee Road east of Warwick,” Jenny says. “You never really know what the week ahead is going to bring.” The Warwick Command of the QFES covers Warwick and Stanthorpe and all towns and villages surrounding and in between, including the Allora, Clifton, Killarney, Wallangarra and Inglewood areas If you’re interested in finding out more about potentially becoming an Auxiliary Firefighter visit www.qfes.qld.gov.au

By Jeremy Sollars Like many job titles, the term ‘Auxiliary Firefighter’ is perhaps not entirely reflective of the true nature and extent of the role fulfilled by around 100 dedicated men and women across the Southern Downs and Granite Belt and wider regions. Indeed, it almost makes it sound as though these highly-skilled Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) personnel are some kind of ‘optional extra’ when it comes to emergency response, which could not be further from the truth. In Queensland an ‘Auxiliary Firefighter’ is simply a part-timer - they require the same skills and training and abilities as the ‘permanent’ crew members, and they’re required to respond to and be confronted by all of the same scenarios, be they structure fires, road accidents and trauma, public safety threats and natural disasters. On top of that most of them have a full-time ‘day’ or ‘regular’ job, and are on-call for QFES duties 24-7, including from 6pm through to 7am seven days a week. As well as her firefighting duties, Warwickbased Auxiliary Lieutenant Jenny Cooper who has notched 20 years of part-time service - is also the Warwick Command’s auxiliary recruitment officer. The QFES is always on the scout for new part-time recruits, with the age bracket anywhere from 18 to 65 - and particularly in the region’s smaller towns where there’s no permanent crew. But a big heads-up on recruitment - it’s not a role for ‘weekend warrior’ types. It’s full-on, but Jenny Cooper says the reward from a community service perspective makes it worthwhile.

Auxiliary Firefighter Lieutenant Jenny Cooper. “We’re paid for what we do but to be honest you wouldn’t rely on the income to pay your bills,” Jenny frankly tells the Free Times. “The hours and the income are sporadic and that’s the main thing to understand - we’re really not doing this for the extra income, it’s more about supporting the community. “Like most of the Auxiliaries I juggle firefighting duties around my full-time job - you have to be able to respond at any hour of the

night or in the early hours of the morning, as well as during the day. “We all have pagers and if the pager goes off at midnight or 3am you’ve got to roll out of bed and pull on some clothes and get to the station. “For that reason one of the requirements is to live within five minutes’ travel to the station in your town - obviously there will be times when one person can’t make it for whatever

Fair Work Australia annual report released The Fair Work Ombudsman’s 2019-20 Annual Report reveals a record sum of money recovered for underpaid workers across the country during the past financial year. In total, $123,461,548 was recovered for 25,583 employees, which included $90 million in underpayments that were self-reported by employers. More than $56.8 million was back-paid following extensive investigations and Enforceable Undertakings negotiated with the FWO. Fair Work Ombudsman Sandra Parker said that significant underpayments from large corporate entities had been a new challenge for the FWO over the past year and the trend continues. “The prevalence and the scale of big corporations underpaying their workers is extremely disappointing and concerning. We have established a dedicated taskforce within the Fair Work Ombudsman to investigate these matters,” Ms Parker said. “I strongly encourage the CEOs and boards of Australia’s largest corporations to ensure they are complying with workplace

90 Ogilvie Road Warwick QLD 4370

laws and to advise us immediately if they identify significant underpayments.” The FWO had 72 matters before the courts as of 1 July 2020, in many cases alleging exploitation of vulnerable workers. There were 54 new litigations filed - more than double that of last year - and 50 per cent of those involved businesses in the fast food, restaurant and cafe sector. The FWO is increasing its use of enforcement tools and the agency issued 952 Compliance Notices in 2019-20, recovering $7.8 million in unpaid wages. This is more than triple the number of Compliance Notices and more than seven times the monies recovered from this tool in the previous year. In 2019-20, the FWO entered into 12 Enforceable Undertakings with businesses. Nine of these related to self-reported noncompliance from large employers. The workplace regulator secured agreement for almost $1.5 million in contrition payments from companies during the year, which has gone into the Commonwealth consolidated revenue fund.

The FWO resolved almost 22,000 workplace disputes between workers and businesses last financial year. The agency’s website, www.fairwork.gov.au, had a record 21.8 million visits to access its information, and the Fair Work Infoline (13 13 94) answered a record 424,255 calls. Ms Parker said the agency’s achievements showed its commitment to promoting productive, cooperative and compliant workplaces, including during the challenges of COVID-19. In response to the pandemic, the FWO boosted resourcing for its frontline services and set up a dedicated hotline, which has answered more than 50,000 calls from employers and employees. Dedicated Coronavirus web content has received more than 4 million page views. “Our efforts guiding businesses through the pandemic’s significant disruption to workplaces have been considerable and I am extremely proud of how the agency has responded. I encourage any affected employers and employees to contact us for free ad-

vice and assistance,” Ms Parker said. For migrant workers, the FWO secured $3 million in penalties and recovered $1.7 million in unpaid wages in 2019-20. Overall, the agency’s total court-ordered penalties for the financial year was $4.3 million, while inspectors issued 603 infringement notices (total fines of about $891,000). “We will continue our intelligence-led, priority-driven work targeting high risk sectors and practices, protecting vulnerable workers and educating both employers and employees across Australian workplaces as they recover from the pandemic in the year ahead,” Ms Parker said.

Granite Belt Irrigation Project Chairman DAN HUNT shares the update for October - the GBIP has received ‘Ministerial Infrastructure Designation’ ...

Emu Swamp update... October is shaping up to be a fruitful month for the Granite Belt Irrigation Project (GBIP) with the announcement GBIP has received endorsement for Ministerial Infrastructure Designation (MID) from Queensland Treasury. GBIP will deliver Emu Swamp Dam, a landmark infrastructure development for the Granite Belt region, which will provide 12,000 megalitres of water storage, south-west of Stanthorpe, and a 117km pipeline distribution network. Our submission for endorsement was made after consultation with the Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC). Once approved, MID will simplify GBIP approvals by eliminating the need for individual Development Applications at state and local levels, across the life of the project.

We expect an announcement from Queensland Treasury by mid-2021, following a comprehensive approval and consultation process. GBIP is a strong candidate for MID, given the benefits it will bring to the Granite Belt region, including providing water security to around 50 agribusinesses and boosting the value of annual gross agricultural production by $68 million. This major development occurred as we mark the mid-way point of finalising water sales with local irrigators. This is due for completion by the end of October - this will enable the project to finalise the pipeline route and progress government approvals, specific to the distribution network. Two other important pieces of work which

are also progressing are the renewal of GBIP’s Cultural Heritage Management Plan and resubmission of approvals under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. These are important steps towards completing the GBIP and achieving its significant impact on the region by increasing water reliability by 40 per cent, generating 700 new long-term jobs and creating a new tourism attraction. These benefits will all have flow-on effects to improve the prosperity of the broader Granite Belt community. I encourage community members to visit the GBIP office at 3/35 Maryland Street, Stanthorpe (office hours include 10am to 2pm, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday) or visit the GBIP website www.granitebeltirrigationpro-

ject.com.au for more information. This month also marks the International Day of Rural Women and I am delighted to celebrate the critical role women play in the Stanthorpe community, including in our GBIP team. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the women who are contributing to driving this project forward: Board Member Leeanne Gangemi, Project Administrator Margot Tesch and Project Admin Support Amanda Harrold, Media Adviser Stacey Wordsworth, Accountant Lisa Carnell, and Media Officer Hannah Hardy. As the project develops and our team grows, we are committed to continuing to support female professionals and engineers.

CWA offer helping hand for graduates By Tania Phillips The region’s graduating year 12 students are in line for a helping hand thanks to the local branch of the QCWA. CWA Condamine Valley Branch secretary Penny Campbell Wilson said they were once again offering a bursary to three students graduating school this year and heading to university in 2021. “We thought they’ve had such a tumult of a year because of Covid the Grade 12s, we thought we’d put it out there so they knew they could apply for it,” she said. “It’s for people who are possibly feeling

some financial difficulty. Last year a boy from Warwick won it, a girl from St Josephs in Stanthorpe and a girl from Stanthorpe High won it. The year before that somebody from Gundy won it, somebody from Warwick and somebody from Stanthorpe. “We get a lot of applications.” Students can apply by application form from the QCWA rooms in Grafton Street. There’s an application form, a general information form and a map of the QCWA border - it goes from Clifton to Killarney, Wallangarra out to Goondiwindi, Leyburn and back Warwick.

“The Bursary is available to boys or girls who are graduating this year and are planning to go to university next year,” Penny explained. “The applications close on 22 January and if they ring the rooms between 9am and 2pm on Tuesday to Friday, 0756612966. “They have to demonstrate the need for financial assistance, they have to advise which course they’d like to do at university, they have to have three character references and written proof of achievement. “Some of them are out of this world they’re wonderful.”

She said the group loved to be able to help young people further their studies particularly with the hardships that had hit the region in recent times including the drought and now Covid. “We just think it’s great that so many people - boys and girls - can apply for it,” Penny said. The bursary is $1500 with students being informed a week after the applications close on 22 January. “We just wanted to get this out there so they can start thinking about it,” she said.

HISTORY FreeTimes.com.au

A chance discovery... By John Telfer The recent story of Flight Lieutenant William Campbell’s amazing escape from his burning Lancaster over Germany in World War 2, published in the SFT on 3rd September, invoked a response from David Moran of Locke Street, whose father Flying Officer Ronald Moran was also with 550 Squadron as a navigator, on board another Lancaster bomber on that same mission; to bomb the railway marshalling yards at Hanau in Germany. Whereby Bill Campbell’s aircraft was shot down, David’s father Ronald came back unscathed. Here is the story of Ronald John Moran who survived his quota of 30 missions, and like Bill Campbell, came home in one piece after some scary moments in World War 2 with Bomber Command. Ronald John Moran was born on 15th November 1911 at Bondi, Sydney, to parents John and Alice Moran of Mosman, Sydney. He was educated at Sydney Church of England Grammar School North Sydney and later, at the University of Sydney where he took out a Commerce degree, before working with the family business called the Nightingale Supply Company. For the next few years, he moved into the position of Sales Manager, then married Evelyn Jean Scott in August 1936, and had 3 children before the outbreak of World War 2 in 1939. On 15th February 1941, Ron Moran answered the call to serve by enlisting into the Australian army’s 49th Battalion at Enoggera Barracks, Brisbane. After undergoing the next month in training, Ron was quickly promoted to Corporal on 29th November, and went on leave before his deployment to New Guinea embarking on board HMT “Katoomba”. On arrival, Ron was attached to the Papuan Infantry Battalion, however, finding army life not to his liking, he decided to seek a discharge from the army. Once granted, Ron left New Guinea after a period of hospitalisation, on HMT “Annui” bound for Brisbane. He completed his discharge on 27th December 1942. and, two days later, enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force as an aircrew trainee on 29th December 1942. Ron found the RAAF more to his liking, and eventually completed his initial training at various RAAF flying schools around Australia, finally graduating as a Navigator and posted to England’s Bomber Command’s Lancaster Training School. After completing a refresher course, Ron was promoted to Flight Sergeant on 13th August and sent to the Royal Air Force base at North Killingholme, Lincolnshire, for combat duty. Ron was placed with a Lancaster crew captained by Flying Officer Dodds, the pilot, Sergeant Brown, flight engineer, Flying Officer Browning, bomb aimer, Flight Sergeant Beckingham, wireless operator, Sergeant Laidlaw, mid upper gunner, and Sergeant Lewis, rear gunner. Ron was the navigator. It was at this time that a remarkable coincidence took place when Flight Lieutenant Campbell and Flying Officer Ron Moran, both with a Warwick connection, took place. On 18th March 1945, when 550 Squadron was to go on a bombing raid to Hanau, to destroy the railway junc-

Flying Officer Ron Moran pictured top left. tion there. Lined up on the tarmac ready for take- off, Lancaster PA268 with Ron Moran on board as navigator, and Lancaster ME548 with Flight Lieutenant Bill Campbell aboard as their bomb aimer. Ron Moran had only returned to duty flying with Flying Officer Ernst Luder’s crew, from No3 Base (NE) which was a hospital facility, after falling off a push bike and breaking his arm while on leave. Ron was extremely lucky as he was replaced from flying duties with Flying Officer Harry Dodd’s crew by a Flight Lieutenant White, and all perished when lost on the “Operation Hurricane” raid on Duisburg, on 15th October 1944. Lancaster ME548 took off at 23.50 am, and PA268 at 01.09 am, as part of 277 RAF bombers bound for Hanau, where they obliterated around 80% of the town before turning for home. It was on the return journey that only one aircraft failed to come back and, unfortunately, it was Bill Campbell’s Lancaster which was attacked and destroyed by a German night fighter, and thus began Bill’s survival when parachuting out of his plane after having to

use heavy force, to open the escape hatch. On the other hand, Ron Moran’s PA268 Lancaster returned safely, but he also had a lucky escape as mentioned when he was replaced from Dodd’s crew a couple of months previously. Bill Campbell and Ron Moran were 550 Squadron mates who both played a vital role in the RAF Bomber Command, with both having completed and survived the customary 30 missions against the enemy. What is a remarkable coincidence, is that the Warwick connection was only discovered when researching Bill Campbell story for his nephew, Rod Campbell of Grafton Street; So, David and Rod met up to compare notes on the war memoirs of these two very brave flyers. Ron Moran was to later receive the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC), promulgated in the London Gazette on 23rd September 1945. Bill Campbell was to save a lot of airmen’s lives when he redesigned the Lancaster’s escape hatch which almost sealed his fate when he had to kick away the hatch to evacuate his burning aircraft. On that raid on Hanau, all aircraft returned home with the

exception of Bill Campbell’s ME 548, the only aircraft lost. But it became the great story of his escape, and opened up another adventure with American ground forces, who rescued him when landing in hostile territory. The magnificent contribution made by men like Ron Moran and Bill Campbell can never be measured as they are among the bravest men of World War 2. They went out against all sorts of adversity to take the fight to the enemy and the casualty statistics tell the story. Historians must try to keep the memory alive of such men, as their name and deeds can never be surpassed in the history of warfare. England’s wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill really summed it up when he spoke to his War Cabinet about the deeds of Bomber Command when he said: “The Navy can lose the war but only the Air Force can win it ... ... .the Fighters are our salvation ... but the Bombers alone are providing the means of victory”.

Historically, prison rules are created to control violent men, but the women who end up in her care are more likely to be victims of violence and as such, Dahm is trying a different approach. Dooley is keen to discover how allowing therapy dogs, makeup and sartorial freedoms is affecting life in the facility, particularly for the 10 per cent of inmates serving life sentences.

SUNDAY

A STAR IS BORN SEVEN, 8.10pm

Bradley Cooper’s directorial debut was a box-office winner, with the heartfelt remake proving that the Hollywood star is a talent behind the camera as well as in front of it. The familiar story follows a musician named Jackson Maine (Cooper), who helps gifted young singersongwriter Ally Campana (Lady Gaga) find fame, although Jack’s numerous personal problems threaten to derail his life. Nominated for eight Oscars, A Star Is Born is undeniably a tearjerker, but it is a convincing take on a well-worn story. Lady Gaga is a revelation in her big-screen role, confirming her as a major acting talent in addition to her status as a modern pop icon.

Week-in, week-out, the Have You Been Paying Attention? gang are putting their tremendous comedic chemistry and broadband connections to good use, delivering a consistently hilarious show every week without even being in the same room. With consummate quizmaster Tom Gleisner at the helm, no topic is oﬀlimits, from unusually named Aldi products and contentious current aﬀairs to reality TV and politicians behaving badly. This week, Gleisner is joined by regular Sam Pang, radio presenter Ash London and The Masked Singer judge Urzila Carlson, along with comedians Lloyd Langford and Tim McDonald, to see who can remember the most about the week in news. Ash London appears in Have You Been Paying Attention?

Warwick Bridge Club At the halfway stage of the Club Pairs Championship, the leader board is closely bunched. At the top are Susan Goddard and Nea McGinness on 60.3%, followed by Noela Collins/ David Moran with 59.7% and Beverly Bonnell/ Neil Bonnell on 58.7%. On Board 8 (above) Nea McGinness and Susan Goddard (sitting East/ West) were the only pair to bid game. Their score of 400 3NT making was way ahead of the rest of the E/W field, two-thirds of whom languished in club partscores. East, with stoppers in spades and diamonds, became declarer after West showed clubs and hearts. South began proceedings with the lead of the two of spades, won by North’s King. N/S

then cleared the spades in three rounds, conceding a trick to East. Declarer then started on the clubs, which were continued even after South showed out on the first round. South faced the prospect of finding four discards.. The fatal discard was a small diamond after three rounds. Declarer could then allow North’s King of diamonds to win thereby setting up three diamond tricks to go with a spade, a heart and four clubs. A neat answer to a South who jettisoned all remaining spades was to allow North to win the fifth club. With only red cards left, North would have to lead away from either the King of hearts or the King of diamonds, giving declarer the ninth trick.

Results: Friday 16/10/20 (6-table Mitchell, Pairs Championship): N/S N. Collins D. Moran (60.3) 1; N. Bonnell B. Bonnell (58.7) 2; T. Hinde L. Munson (49.3) 3. E/W S. Godard N. McGinness (60.3) 1; P.

The Red Cross ‘on the Home Front’ By Deb Wheeler Congratulations to Robert MacMaurice on his article about the White’s home in Stanthorpe (SFT 1/10/20). Reading about Moiominda reminded me about the research I undertook about Mrs Helena Grace White while writing my works on the Kyoomba Sanatorium. My story today highlights the enormous amount of work carried out by one woman who devoted a large portion of her life to the care and welfare of First and Second World War servicemen. The Stanthorpe branch of the Red Cross opened in August 1914. Helena Grace White was the Red Cross representative at the Kyoomba Sanatorium from 1917 until it closed in 1935. The General Committee decided that a Tubercular Hospital was a great responsibility, and more than the Society could manage at that time. After consultation with Mrs Allison the facility was then offered to the Military Authorities as a place where returned soldiers could rest and recuperate from tuberculosis. This generous offer by Mrs Allison was accepted by the Australian Imperial Forces and returned soldiers starting arriving from 1917. Helena, who was the President of the Society at this time, worked very closely with the medical superintendents at the facility over the years to ensure the returned soldiers suffering from tuberculosis as well as the doctors and nurses responsible for their care received goods from the Australian Red Cross headquarters in Brisbane. She hosted numerous fundraisers for many causes but it was her war-time work that is most remembered. An example of goods supplied in 1917 is listed as ... 2 cabinets, 8 trays, 18 lockers, 12 folding stools, 12 khaki trousers, writing materials. Socks 6, Trousers 1, gloves 1, washers 72, tape 36, buttons 24 dozen, biscuits 195 lbs, malted milk 12 tins, meat extract 7 lbs, Peptenoids 9 bottles, sedan 5 bottles, Benger’s 6, sweets 51 lbs, cheese 30, vinegar 4, sauce 27 bottles, custard powder 3 lbs, coffee essence 12, bath mats 2, trans (large) 12, soap 120 cakes, envelopes 4250, tooth paste 40, tobacco 23 lbs, playing cards 30 packs, ink 3 quarts, cribbage boards 12, camp stools 12, crutch tips 12, deck chairs 8, folding tables 9, charges 12 packets, shirts 2, pyjamas 1, chest protectors 40, tea towels 36, cotton 21 reels, needles 9 packets, condensed milk 120, cocoa 28 lbs, jelly crystals 256, preserved fruit 110, honey 18 lbs, sugar 64 lbs, arrowroot 12 lbs, paste 60, pickles 35, bee and iron 8 bottles, quantity old linen, port wine 4 bottles, baking powder 4, cutlery boxes 3, trays (small) 6, writing pads 144, tooth brushes 26, cigarettes 22 boxes, gramophone records 30, pencils 24, extension chairs 4, dominoes 12, Christmas boxes 102, safety razors 2, walking sticks 8 and dried herbs 2. Helena spent many hours organising entertainment in the form of concerts, plays, visiting bands, card games, tennis parties and the like to keep the men entertained and cheerful. She realised they needed relief from the endless monotony of their confinement. She would take the men on picnics around the district in her car and if she was unavailable she would often loan her car so others could take the men for drives. She very generously provided a sulky and pony for the nurse’s use as well as a horse and cart for the men to travel into town, a journey of some three miles.

Letters to the editor

Her daughter Blanch enlisted and was assigned to the Hospital Transport Corps to work as a probationary nurse and ward assistant on board the hospital ship ‘Kanowa’. Upon her discharge in 1917, and inspired by her mother’s dedication to the war effort, Blanch helped her mother at the sanatorium. In 1936 Helena was recognised for the incredible amount of work she undertook on behalf of our soldiers. The following article shows the high esteem she was held in “The Diggers V.C. An outstanding event in League activities took place in Stanthorpe, when the president of the western district (Mr. N. Clough) presented to Mrs C. White the gold badge of merit and the league certificate of appreciation. This is a rare presentation, as is shown by the fact that, apart from Mrs. White, only one other woman in Queensland has been similarly honoured. The gold badge is conferred only upon the strongest recommendation of the branch, district and Federal executives, and is awarded for

outstanding services to returned soldiers and their dependents. Since the beginning of the Great War Mrs. White has been known throughout Queensland and Australia as the diggers’ friend. She and her family had the Kyoomba Repatriation Sanatorium and its patients under their care from its inception; and she is the president of the Stanthorpe sub-branch Women’s Auxiliary. Mrs. White was honoured by the Red Cross Society, and also received the King’s Jubilee medal. She has given over 20 years of service to the diggers.” During the Second World War she was the president of the Women’s National emergency Legion on Stanthorpe. In 1942 Helena was awarded the MBE in recognition of her continued work with returned servicemen and their families. She passed away on Helena died in Southport at the age of 83, after a long illness. The Daily News described her on her death as an ‘indefatigable worker for returned soldiers.’

Whilst enjoying a short time in Stanthorpe recently the motel proprietor had made available copies of Southern Free Times. I enjoyed reading the 1/10/2020 issue and found the breadth of coverage outstanding, especially when one recognises that the Times is designed for a limited distribution. Amongst the interesting articles was ‘A Green Spring in Qld’ on pages 20/21 which covered the Growcom and the Queensland Horticulture Council official launch of their Queensland Election policy platform. The need to reinvigorate “rural and regional Queensland” is obvious and the key points and messages featured were indeed well prepared. However, I felt one thing lacking throughout was a call to the next Queensland Government to include demands upon the Federal Government to play its role. The Federal Government has a shared, or even predominate, responsibility, over quite a raft of areas so the need to integrate action across the spectrum of governmental remit is clear. Whilst there are points in policy platform that are Queensland specific, quite significant areas overlap substantially areas/policies of the Federal Government (for example “Export and market access” “Energy affordability” “Sustainability” “Innovation and R & D”. Concerted integrated policy and action will deliver the most to the meeting of the need to reinvigorate, not just rural and regional Queensland, but indeed across our nation. Let us not fall prey to the well practised ploy of our various State and Federal politicians to “pass the ball” in response to calls for involvement and/or the taking of responsibility. We definitely intend to return to Stanthorpe and I hope to be able to access another issue of your publication. Bob Rose HAVE YOUR SAY...

Send down a new brew By Tania Phillips Sunday night’s rain isn’t the only welcome drop around with a new Australian Beer being released to raise money for those living in drought-affected communities. Every case of the brew - aptly named “Hughie” - that is sold will go to the “GIVIT” charity for much needed funds and equipment. Brewed in Goulburn, Southern NSW by award-wining Tribe Breweries, ‘Hughie’ is made from 100 per cent Australian-grown hops and malt and makes a great, easy-drinking thirst-quencher at the end of a long hot day according to Dan Murphy’s Craft Beer Category manager Billy Ryan. “The name ‘Hughie’ derives from the term “Send it down Hughie” which was a common Aussie bushman’s cry for rain at the turn of the 20 th century, so it’s great to see that the money raised from the sale of Hughie can go towards helping those living in drought-affected communities today,” said Billy Ryan, category manager, craft beer, Dan Murphy’s. Since late 2018, GIVIT has spent more than $600,000 in donated relief funds to co-ordinate

over 140,000 items purchased in local communities to help 12,000 people across regional NSW affected by drought conditions. “Being able to replace a water tank, mend a fence or purchase a week’s supply of groceries at the local store can make a significant positive contribution to a family dealing with drought,” said Scott Barrett, GIVIT’s NSW Manager. He said that last year was Australia’s driest on record and although some areas have received rainfall this year, it will take much more than a few showers to make any significant difference. “Drought affects everyone in regional communities; farmers, their businesses and their families. It affects lives, live-stock and livelihoods. Whole communities are impacted: local businesses dry-up because of reduced spending and the effects run deep across generations, economically, socially and emotionally. Many of these communities are now dealing with double-whammy of drought followed by bush-fires. It doesn’t get any tougher than that.”

Support program to launch By Tania Phillips Participants are needed for a new wellbeing program aimed at supporting farmers after natural disasters. The program, being run Queensland Farmers Federation (QFF) is aimed at creating an industry support network for farmers, equipping them with the skills and resources needed to carry the burden and to mentor fellow farmers during disaster recovery. According to QFF CEO Dr Georgina Davis the Queensland agriculture sector, its farmers and rural communities are no strangers to significant and continuing challenges. She said their resilience had been tested by droughts, floods, cyclones, bushfires and everything in between. “Natural disasters are part and parcel of farming in Queensland,” Dr Davis said. “No one knows and understands the burden of recovering and rebuilding better than a fellow farmer, so they are best placed to provide a listening ear, an empathetic heart of just some practical advice. “QFF is calling on interested farmers who are knowledgeable about farm practices and business processes, to take on a supporter role to galvanise those who have experienced loss or disruption as a result of a disaster and who need a helping hand as they recover. “It might be as simple as a phone call from one farmer to another to encourage persis-

tence during drought, assisting with the organisation of equipment in the initial cyclone clean-up or helping to make confronting decisions on salvaging stock after a flood.” The new program will be based on one developed by QFF member Nursery and Garden Industry (NGIQ). “The industry support network will utilise resources developed by the Australian Red Cross in its highly regarded, ‘Supporting the Supporters’ program to provide interested farmer supporters with the varied and valuable skills they need to help their fellow farmers during difficult times,” Dr Davis said. “The program will also deliver a series of workshops in the Burdekin, Hinchinbrook, Townsville and Whitsunday regions, and develop online resources and publications for the Queensland farming community to improve the agriculture sector’s disaster resilience into the future.” Farmers interested in participating in the project can contact QFF Project Manager, Kerry Battersby on 0419 614 765 or email kerry@qff.org.au. The project is funded through the Australian and Queensland Governments Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements 2018 and administered by the Department of Communities, Disability Services and Seniors as part of the Category C Far North Queensland and North Queensland Monsoon Trough Flexible Funding Grant.

Diversity is the key By Tania Phillips Local Federal member David Littleproud paid tribute to women in agriculture on International Day of Rural Women, 15 October. Mr Littleproud, the member for Maranoa and Federal Minister for Agriculture, attended the on-line graduation of the 2020 Diversity in Agriculture Leadership Program as part of this year’s celebrations. The graduates were 12 women from through out Australia, including three Queenslanders, who took part in the five-month mentoring program. Mr Littleproud, congratulated graduates of the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) 2020 Diversity in Agriculture Leadership Program and recognised the outstanding contributions of women in rural Australia at the ceremony. “We are fortunate in the agriculture sector to be surrounded by women who provide strong leadership to the industry,” Minister Littleproud said. “With the support of my department, this leadership program has been connecting women with one-on-one mentoring and personal development opportunities since 2018. “The result has been real progress towards doubling the number of women in leadership ranks by 2030, with 50 per cent of appointments to agricultural bodies now women up

David Littleproud. from 38% in 2017 when I took over as Agriculture Minister. “This wasn’t about quotas this was simply about putting an environment around woman to feel comfortable to come forward. “The twelve graduates who have now completed the program offer a range of expertise in areas from science, research and development, farm health and safety, to education and farm business management.

“Past graduates have gone on to assume federal and state government-based board roles and to be high-profile female advocates and leaders for our sector. “While it has been a year of challenges for regions, female leaders continue to be at the forefront of innovation and building the productivity and resilience of rural communities. “For example, the Buy From a Bush Business Marketplace created by Sarah Britz, Lauren Hately and Jenn Donovan is supporting small rural and regional enterprises impacted by bushfire, drought and coronavirus. “This is helping regional industries to bounce back and in turn positively influencing the mental health of employees and families. “Similarly, the winner of this year’s Tasmanian AgriFuture’s Rural Women’s Award, Karen Brock, is changing the face of the plant supply chain. “Karen has created a process which accelerates traditional propagation methods, creating faster harvesting times for farmers and providing food security to the agri business sector. “We must not forget the role regional and rural women play across Australia, building productivity and cohesion as farmers, managers, volunteers and within the household. “Today we recognise their outstanding contributions, and the need for continued momentum to ensure even more women are sup-

ported into agriculture and leadership roles,” Minister Littleproud said. The 2020 Diversity in Agriculture Leadership Program cohort - who join the 30 previous graduates were: Alexandra Thomas - Mount Osmond, South Australia, Alison Hamilton - Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Alysia Kepert - Perth, Western Australia, Diana Fear - Condobolin, New South Wales, Fiona Marshall - Mulwala, New South Wales, Jaelle Bajada - Sydney, New South Wales, Jessica Fealy - Paddys Green, Queensland, Margaret Jewell - Brisbane, Queensland, Niki Ford - Brisbane, Queensland, Rebecca Staines - Albury, New South Wales, Sarah Parker - Undera, Victoria, Susie Green - Lenswood, South AustraliaThe Diversity in Agriculture Leadership Program (DiALP) mentoring opportunity is designed for aspiring female leaders, 25 years and over, with a passion for agriculture. The Program matches successful applicants with a mentor and the mentorship runs from May 2020 to October 2020. With their mentor, each mentee establishes leadership goals, outlines steps to achieving these goals and puts, in place steps to measure progress towards these goals.

Market upgrade promised The LNP have promised a $14 million up grade to the Brisbane Markets in the lead up to this weekend’s election. LNP Leader Deb Frecklington made the announcement on the central trading floor of the markets, Queensland’s most important central hub for the trade and distribution of fresh fruit and vegetables, on 16 October. Frecklington committed to investing $14 million to build a new disinfestation facility at the Rocklea site should the LNP win the state election. She said the $14 million investment would lay the foundations for the growth of Queensland’s fresh produce industry into the future. “This is part of the LNP’s plan to supercharge Queensland’s agricultural supply chain, to double the value of agricultural production by 2035 and then double it again to $60 billion by 2045,” Ms Frecklington said. Joe Saina, Managing Director of exporter AS

Barr Group, was excited by the prospect of government support to grow Queensland’s export industry. “Investment in disinfestation treatment options being available and affordable will position Queensland’s fresh produce industry for future growth and provide ongoing economic benefits for regional Queensland,” Mr Saina said. The Brisbane Markets&reg; already facilitates the trade and distribution of approximately 650 million kilograms of fresh produce each year, valued at more than $1.5 billion.

Poultry numbers still roll in with the fascination of having your own even spreading to the Prime Minister and the laying hens and pullets still commanding good prices. Hens with chicks making up to $105. Goat prices are still firm, making up to $11/kg DWT as a lack of numbers coincides with increased consumer requirement. Pig numbers were also on the rise as we saw gilts and pork reach a high of $250, good store pigs making between $130-$190 depending on weight and type, lighter stores in the $50-$90 range. - By Ross Ellis, Sheep Agent for McDougall and Sons Stock & Station Agents, Warwick.

The markets have been up in their numbers over the past two weeks with cattle numbers stronger. This added momentum for the sales with some lines of good heavy cattle available for the exporters. This was alongside some nice runs of lighter cattle suitable for the paddock or feed on buyers. Lightweight yearling steers back to the paddock averaged 471-479 cents/kg over the two sales. Heavy steers for domestic feed on markets made up to 415-417 cents/kg. Yearlings heifers made up to 469-501 cents/kg. Good heavy cows made up to 299 - 317 cents/kg, with some good runs making the exporters compete. Bullocks made up to 366 and 376 cents/ kg. To see the rate creep up to $2800 per head in places. The markets are still very competitive in the light feed on type with a greater demand coming from southern buyers looking to replenish paddocks since recent rain. Sheep and lamb numbers were also up slightly with some good lines of light lambs and a few runs of merinos making the markets. As with the cattle, the market drivers are the restockers, with ewe lambs back to pad-

League legend Johnathan Thurston paid a visit to the Stanthorpe earlier this week to talk to students about ‘resilience and perseverance’ and other valuable life lessons - CASEY & PERDITTA O’CONNOR went along to catch ‘JT’ ...

‘JT’ pays a special visit...

Inspiring the kids to “be their best selves”.

JT and his Manager Sam Ayoub take time out to sign some jerseys during a break between session at St Joey’s on Tuesday. Ayoub has been JT’s manager since he was 15 and on Tuesday he spoke of the importance of the relationship.

JT took the opportunity to get amongst the Senior students at the end of his presentation on Tuesday morning.

JT got a reminder of the early days of his football when he met Eden and Kobe Shatte and Harrison Pearce. The three students had a picture of an under 15 Darling Downs side in which JT played alongside Nathan Shatte, Kobe and Eden’s father and Wocker Hikaiti Harrison’s uncle.

King of the Kids - JT was right at home among the St Joey’s Primary school kids. Thursday, 22 October, 2020 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES 25

Garden Time

Beatrice Hawkins

Endless iris varieties... Many years ago a lady I knew in Trangie NSW had an iris nursery. At the time I had nowhere to put them but added them to my wish list. As time went on she sent a specimen to an international competition in Florence, Italy and won her class with the bloom. After this Mrs. James retired and moved away but not before selling all her irises. Some other friends bought a number from her and started their own business at Narromine selling a vast range of really spectacular specimens. They told me recently that they now have over 2000 varieties to choose from! Some other plants went to Gympie but they did not like that climate and the people relocated to Bundarra in NSW. When I lived at Manilla I visited this nursery in October when the irises were in full bloom - spectacular!! Acres of the most amazing colours, it looked like a Monet painting. Prior to visiting dedicated iris nurseries my only association with the plant was groups of “flag lilies” in deep purple or white, in paddocks where an old house had been. They were obviously very hardy and not attractive to livestock, native or introduced, as they survived with no care long after the house and garden had gone. Last week I had the pleasure of once again seeing the descendants these hardy individuals, in a lovely collection of spectacular flowers in bloom in a garden here in Warwick. The variety of colours seems to be unlim-

ited and collecting, and even breeding them, can very easily become an obsession. The name iris is of Greek origin and means rainbow and given the amazing range of forms and colours this is very appropriate. Apparently, the story goes, that when the Gods needed to contact people on earth they sent the goddess Iris to earth down the rainbow and everywhere her foot touched the earth the beautiful rainbow coloured flowers came up, hence the name of the flower. Different colours have different meanings. Purple symbolises royalty and wisdom, yellow for passion, blue symbolises faith and hope and white, as with many flowers, purity. The American state of Tennessee has chosen the iris as its state flower, it is the birth flower for February and is the flower to give on your 25th wedding anniversary. With its wide range of colours and meaning there is one for most people in your life. Purple is appropriate for a parent or mentor, give yellow ones to a “significant other” and blue for someone who needs a little encouragement. Irises are first recorded as garden flowers when in 1469BC King Thutmose 111 of Egypt saw them in Syria and brought them back to his garden. He was an avid gardener and apparently coveted irises as others, at the time, coveted gold. They quickly came to be revered in Egypt and to symbolise both the essence and renewal of life while the 3 petals of the flower were thought to represent faith, wisdom

and valour. The rhizomes had medicinal uses and also were used in perfumes and incense for religious ceremonies. They are relatively easy to grow in our climate given good drainage and full sun. Planting them fairly close together will provide a stunning display but will also mean they will need splitting up more often. This should be done in autumn before it gets too cold and they will flower the following spring. When planting it is important that the rhizomes are put in a shallow trench at a depth that allows the top of the rhizome to be exposed to the sun. They should be watered in immediately but once settled in really don’t require a lot of water. Over watering is a common problem with them as they do not like wet feet ... good drainage is paramount. A well balanced fertilizer is useful in early spring before blooming and about a month after but be careful not to get it on the exposed rhizome. Be sure not to use a high nitrogen fertilizer as this can cause soft growth and make the irises more susceptible to disease. If you have a spot in the garden that fits these criteria I can think of nothing better to plant. They go well with a range of other flowers. Be careful - they can become addictive!! Remember our water restrictions and use mulch to help retain what moisture we get and continue to pray for good soaking ongoing rain to replenish our subsoil moisture and then run off into our water supplies.

Casey O’Connor

It’s Grand Final time... What a week it has been in sport. The NRL and AFL grand finalists have been decided and while they may not be your chosen teams there is no disputing the right of the four teams involved to have their chance at a unique piece of sporting history in this strangest of years. The Storm showed why they are consistently among the finalists in any year and although the Bunnies were good against the Panthers you can’t drop balls and make errors against a minor premiership side and expect to win preliminary finals. All indications seem to be leaning towards the retirement of Cameron Smith who is yet to make the call. After Friday night’s game you would have to think he could go on forever. Perhaps a big clue is his purchase of a home in Burleigh recently and his kids being enrolled in school on the Coast. Great to see Jack Wighton pick up the Dally M and I can’t really see why all the fuss about his win. Any way no matter, you have to think he will play a major role in Sunday’s GF. Before then however, the Cats and the Tigers will write their names in the history books when they face off at the Brisbane Gabba for the AFL grand final. Unfortunately, the Lions won’t be there. They kept pace with Geelong until midway through the final quarter of the prelim last week but were blown away at the very back end of the game. Again, just not quite good enough but Lachie Neale did grab the Brownlow. I’m a bit of a Richmond fan but am wary of the Cats and Ablett on Saturday. I was fortunate today to sit in on Johnathan Thurston’s presentation to the students of St Joseph’s School. JT was an inspiration on the field during his football career, but I think what he doing post retirement is perhaps more inspirational through the JT Academy. Look for more about his visit in next week’s Spin. In the meantime, take up an early position for the running of the 150th WS Cox Plate. I favour Master of Wine, Russian Camelot and Probabeel but don’t forget Humidor who is sure to run another mighty race. That will of course lead you into AFL final Leaning slightly towards Richmond. On Sunday having recovered from all that excitement, strap yourselves in for a mighty NRL game. This might just be one of the greatest Grand Finals of all - I think it will be Cam Smith and the Storm raising the trophy. - Casey

LANZA MAKES THE BALL DO THE TALKING Former Stanthorpe player Hayden Lanza is making his present felt in the Coorparoo Cricket Club. Lanza, playing in only his third game for the club, two weeks ago set a new club record and wrote his name into the history books taking an incredible 10 wickets for a mere 21 runs from just 14 over bowled. Lanza almost single-handedly won his side their game against Cleveland Thornlands when they were dismissed for just 148 in the A1 cricket competition in Brisbane. The previous club record was 9/13 setback in the 1999/2000 season by Chris Johnson. Lanza now sits alone on top of the Coorparoo record books being the only one in club history to take all 10 wickets in an innings. Lanza is a bloke of few words as we all know but you can guarantee there’s a few blokes in the Coorparoo side and the A1 comp who know who Hayden Lanza is now. Of course, Lanza is not the only Stanthorpe export in the side. Among his playing partners are Tom and Pat Cameron and Travis Rogers.

These clubs have shown just how much they really care about their members, and we strongly encourage them to nominate,” Dr Lalor said. “Even if your club’s season has been cut short this year due to Covid-19, celebrating your wins and achievements is the perfect way to boost club morale and keep members feeling proud and connected,” Dr Lalor added. Entering the Awards is not difficult or complicated, and Good Sports clubs may qualify for multiple categories. Winners will receive $1,000 for their club.

The program encourages systemic changes in club culture to promote long-term positive health outcomes, Dr Lalor said. “Community sporting clubs that role-model healthy behaviours are leaders in their community and play an important role in reducing and preventing harms from alcohol and other drugs,” Dr Lalor added.

Casey O’Connor FITTOCK FORM CONTINUES The Stanthorpe RSL Ladies midweek golf group played an Individual Stableford event on Wednesday (14 Oct). Trish Fittock continued her good vein of recent form to claim another win with a score of 35 points. Kay Webb who finished runner up with 35 points must surely be close to a win. In a very closely contested round the run down went to Sandra Morris, with a score of 32 points.

LOCKE IN A CLOSE ONE

After 16 rounds of the Toowoomba Premier League, Stanthorpe United sit at the head of the comepitition leader board with 30 points and on Sunday face second placed Willowburn (29). Both teams are coming off a round 16 bye. They have played twice during the season and honours are evenly shared at one apeice. The Redbacks won their first encounter back in round eight 2-1. Willowburn evened the ledger with a 1-0 win in round 12.

All teams in the league were surprised by the announcement earlier in the week that third place Gatton Redbacks (28 points) had withdrawn from the comepitition. The decision of the Gatton Redbacks means United and Willowburn head into the final fixture match of the regular season in the knowledge that they are guaranteed a first or second placed finish. The outcome of Sunday’s game will decided the order. A surprise one all draw for Rockville in their game last week against Wanderers may have cost the team an opportunity to win the league or at least finish in second spot. They currently sit in fifth position on 26 points and are almost guaranteed three points in their final game against cellar dwellers Highfields. St Albans (27) has a bye this round and will not improve their position on the table. With the pressure of a third place finish for either of the top two teams no longer a concern, Sunday’s game could provide both teams an opportunity to rest players however the United players believe the President Cup Trophy and the opportunity to finish on top of the table in their first year in the comepitition is a prize worth fighting for. “Any trophy would be a fantastic achievement for the players after the season they have had” said assistant coach Steve McEvoy “I know the boys would be keen to win some silverware, but as coaches we have to ensure we get the balance right and prioritise what we believe is the main objective.” McEvoy said that although it would be great to win the President’s Cup, the opportunity to rest players and focus on the major semi-final and book a grand final spot is very tempting. It is common knowledge that the Redbacks player stocks are getting low. Andrew Crestani, Ben Rametta, Thomas Nash, Brad Thompson, Jared Hitchener and Josh Crestani are all struggling with injury and in doubt for this weekend’s game. If rested, another week off could be a blessing for one or two of these players. The game against Willowburn on Sunday is indeed an intriguing matchup. The teams could potentially meet three times in the next four weeks. If that is the case then whoever wins the final match of the season will be the team that is remembered most by fans and

CAMPDRAFTERS BACK IN SADDLE The Southern Downs Campdraft community took a heft blow when COVID-19 restrictions forced the cancellations of the famed Warwick Warwick Rodeo and Gold Cup Campdraft. This weekend however riders will be back in the saddle for the Warwick Show and Rodeo Society’s camp draft event on Saturday (24 October). Organisers are delighted with the nominations they have received for this weekend’s event. There is already a full draft and entrants in novice, maiden juvenile and junior drafts. Under COVID safe guidelines up to 1000 spectators are expected to celebrate the much anticipated return of the sport. Every cloud has a silver lining and some competitors get the opportunity to compete in the Warwick arena for the first time. “The draft will have a particular focus of family and a fun filled day. The action starts early at 6.00am and there will be bar and canteen facilities operating all day. Entry will be through gate four so head down to the Warwick Showgrounds and help the Warwick show Society and Campdraft committee to thank the sponsors and volunteers who have supported them throughout this difficult year.

STANTHORPE CRICKETERS OPEN THEIR SEASON Stanthorpe cricketers were back on the pitch last weekend for the opening games of the 2020 Stanthorpe season. Games were played on the CF White and Sheehan Ovals and there were comprehensive winners in both games.

On the CF White RSL set Valleys a solid run chase after they finished their innings 9/202. It took Sam Dowie no time at all to settle back into batting. Dowie was the lynch pin of the RSL innings scoring an impressive 76 from 74 balls faced and his form and shot selection did not look like he had a nine months or more away from the game Stefanon and Amerena were the best of the Valley’s bowlers. Amerena taking 3/26 and Stefanon 2/35. Carmichael was good in the field taking three catches while youngster Jackson Haynes grabbed two catches. In reply Valleys were neve r allowed to get into the game with a steady fall of wickets. Savins and Amerena tried to steady the ship before Amerena was dismissed with the score at 2/55. Captain Damien Anderson was looking in good touch before being dismissed for 28. Unfortunately there were no heroics from the tail and Valleys were all out for 110. Sam Dowie starred with the ball as well as the bat taking four wickets. On Sheehan Oval Wanderers had first use of the wicket for the season posting a good score of 230 runs. It was a good performance from most of the top and middle order who all managed to get going. It was captain Brock Patti who topped the scoring with a well constructed 75 from 73 deliveries. When Patti was dismissed the score was 4/216. The tail added only a handful of runs but it was score that proved beyond the reach of South’s. In a shock start to their season they were bowled out for just 85 which included 21 extras. In the bowling stakes Liam Lanza finished with five wickets for South’s (5/24). Andrew Einam and Brock Patti took a bag each. John Halford turned back the clock for Wanderers taking four catches.

INTRIGUING FINAL FIXTURE GAME

Stumps fly as Wanderers batsman John Halford is dismissed for a duck. Halford had better luck in the field taking four catches.

EP67389

An early start was not difficult for Stanthorpe Sporters last Sunday with early conditions very pleasant on the back nine which was in play for the day. It was a very close round and in a tightly packed finish, Margie Locke returned a score of 25 to win by the smallest of margins. Runner up went to Ian Anderson with a score of 26 for the nine holes. Anderson also had the lowest gross score for the day needing 38 shots to get around the course. His round included an impressive birdie on the par three 17th hole. Sporters President, Ray Thorn finished one shot further back for the run down. His score of 27 could have better but for bad second hole where he recorded an eight at the par 5. The encouragement award for the week went to Angelo Maugeri who was later seen enjoying a packet of chips. Angelo was heard to express an intention to visit a popular golf shop in Toowoomba with a change of gear in mind. There will be no Sporters golf this Sunday as the course will be fully occupied for the Open Carnival. Good luck to those Sporters who are playing in the Open event. Sporters will return the following Sunday (November 1) at the normal summer tee off time of 7.30am. The Stanthorpe Golf Club welcomed a new sponsor for Saturday’s Stablefored event, Dep’s Beautiful Nails and members were pleased that Dep was able to participate in the presentations after the round. A count-back was required to determine the winner of the Ladies Event after Lorraine Evans and Nikki Waterworth each returned scores of 39 points. WE have seen some consitent scoring from Lorraine recently and on Saturday her back nine of 20 points saw her claim the win over Nikki who scored 19 points and settled for the runner’s up spot. The ladies run down resulted in a ball presented to Margie Locke (34) and Sandra Ellis and Sandra Morris. (33). Mike McAuliffe returned to form to record score of 41 points and an overdue win finishing two points clear of his nearest rival. It was a good form turn around for Mike who in a recent event claimed the prize at the other end of the field. Very pleasing to see him scoring well again. Runner up was junior golfer, Andrew Burgess, with a score of 39 points. Both the winner and runner up played in the early time slot so it was again a case of the early birds getting the worm or at best the prizes. In the men’s run down Keith Barnett (38), Greg Fraser (37), Richard Reardon (37) and Rod Werner (36) each collected a ball. This weekend is the Stanthorpe club hosts the Club’s Open weekend. Saturday’s event is a 4BBB Stableford and Sunday a single event. The 4BBB on Saturday will begin with two shot gun starts. There is an early morning start and a later start at 11.45am. Sunday’s single event is start by time slot. Players are asked to be aware of their tee times and be registered well in advance of their time. If you intended to play but have not nominated unfortunately the time sheet for Sunday is now full and a reserve list is already in play. Players on the reserve list will only play if there is a withdrawal.
