The future of the Warwick Saleyards continues to be a hot topic of local debate - with the latest development being a resolution by the Southern Downs Regional Council’s Saleyards Advisory Committee to build a brand new facility on an as-yet unidentified ‘greenfield’ site. The Saleyards Advisory Committee - which as its name suggests is not a statutory body and is made up of councillors and rural industry representatives - last met on Thursday 15 October at the Warwick council chambers. The committee heard a presentation from council officers about issues at the current Saleyards on the corner of Bracker Road and McEvoy Streets, and from Tom Newsome of Outcross Agri-Business, a company which provides livestock sales and traceability software to saleyards across Australia. The committee then voted in favour of recommending to the council that its preferred future option is for a new saleyards facility to be built in the Warwick area at another location, but the minutes of the meeting do not specify options. The committee’s resolution comes as the Southern Downs Regional Council keeps a significant portion of a Master Plan for the Warwick Saleyards under wraps, citing ‘commercial in confidence’ reasons. The Master Plan was developed by consultants Wiley & Co in 2019 and partially released by the council back in July of this year under new Mayor Vic Pennisi, but the section which is understood to outline costings of future saleyards options remains out of public scrutiny. Other options are understood to be ‘do nothing’ or upgrade the existing saleyards. The Free Times has been seeking since October 2019 to obtain the full Master Plan through Right To Information (RTI) but Cr Pennisi has said to release the remainder of the document could jeopardise potential future commercial negotiations between the council and businesses who may submit expressions of interest in a future saleyards project. For its part the council as a whole is yet to define its stance on the future of the Saleyards but the matter is due to be on the table for further discussion in the form of a ‘business case’ during its December round of meetings. The Saleyards Advisory Committee itself is next due to meet on Thursday 12 November. At its October meeting Jim Wedge was appointed

as Chair on the nomination of Ross Fraser and seconded by Matthew Grayson. The issue of the Saleyards’ future was a major topic in the lead-up to and during the 2020 council election, with the consensus of those in the local livestock industry being the facility should remain owned and operated by the council after the previous administration under Tracy Dobie floated the option of leasing out management of the saleyards to a private operator. Community survey ... Ahead of the December council meetings the council is calling for the community to complete a survey on the Saleyards between now and Wednesday 18 November. In a statement released to the media this week a council spokeswoman said “community consultation will play a significant role when Southern Downs Regional Council considers the options for the future of the iconic Warwick Saleyards”. In 2019, Council commissioned the Warwick Saleyards Master Plan which addressed the sustainability of the current facility and made recommendations on future business operations,” the spokeswoman said. In the statement Mayor Vic Pennisi said “Council is considerably invested in the Warwick Saleyards Master Plan and would be guided by recommendations from this report, the Saleyards Business Case and the Saleyards Advisory Committee, as well as community and industry consultation”. “Council is committed to the region’s livestock industry and maintaining a sustainable and competitive market position for our saleyards,” Cr Pennisi said. “The current saleyards are reaching the end of their operational life without a significant investment. “Our operations are not as efficient as other facilities in the broader region and we don’t make use of the modern practices and technology that is available to drive greater efficiency and benefits for the region. “Council has had various reports presented to them over time to reinforce this situation and to advise Council on the future direction they should take. “The Master Plan and Business Case are several platforms to base our decision making on and they highlight crucial issues which we have no choice but to address.

For the first time this year cenotaphs across the Southern Downs will see full public remembrance services when people gather - in a Covid safe way - to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice during World War One. Remembrance Day - Poppy Day - the 11 November, the day of the armistices following the bloody conflict of “the War to end all wars” For a hundred years now Australian’s have been marking this day, remembering - Lest We Forget. And while Covid led to a very different Anzac Day in 2020, RSL Sub Branches and military groups across the Southern Downs and Granite Belt are hoping for something much closer to the usual service for Remembrance Day (with Covid protocols in place of course. “We think we will be able to hold the remembrance day service the same as we normally hold it,” Warwick RSL sub-branch President John Skinner said. “We’re introducing something new this year in that we’ve invited all the High Schools, including Scot’s College and the Cadets to take turn about to provide speakers for Remembrance day rather than us looking for War Veterans or some other high-profile people to give the address. This is a move towards involving younger people and this year hopefully it will be someone from Warwick State High. “This will become a permanent thing for remembrance day, Anzac Day will still stay as our military personal. The past seven or eight years we’ve managed to bring people from Canberra with ranks as high as a Major General. But for remembrance day we are going to ask the high schools for speakers.” Mr Skinner said the Sub Branch wanted to get younger people involved. “We’ve had so many good speakers from the High Schools at the Dawn Service for a

number of years we thought it’s time brought them into the Remembrance Day services give them a bit more to do,” he said. “We’re hoping it will interest other high school kids to come along and hear their own people speak.” The Warwick Service is timed to start at 10.40pm at the new dais - with two undercover marquees and social distancing. Martin Corbett President of the Stanthorpe RSL Sub Branch said they would hold two services this year. “We will be having one in Stanthorpe of course and we are also going down to Texas to do one down there,” he said. “Texas have a sub-branch that is connected to us. Due to their lack of numbers they decided to join our sub-branch about four years ago and it was decided this year, especially with the Covid 19, I’m going down with four other people and we’re going to run the Texas memorial day at the same time as Stanthorpe.” He said the it was nice to get back together. “Anzac we had the light up the streets - that was very successful,” Mr Corbett said. “Veterans day in August we were disappointed in the lack of numbers because of the restrictions, the restrictions have now been eased. My deputy president will be running the whole thing in Stanthorpe - we have our normal cannon being fired off at 11am. We’ve got people to play the last post - it’s a normal ceremony but we are still going to follow the Covid rules - we will have hand sanitizers there - people have to sign in and leave contact numbers in case of contract tracing.” Both services will start at the tradition 11am. Meanwhile the Naval Association of Australia Stanthorpe division will hold their own ceremony at the Navy remembrance wall following the main one at Stanthorpe on 11 November according to president Norm Gale.

The editor’s desk Not for the first time I incorrectly forecasted an election result - I tipped last week that neither of the major parties would win a clear working majority in the 2020 State election. And I owe at least one other local political observer a coffee for betting that One Nation would come in ahead of the ALP in the local Southern Downs electorate result. I might be better off predicting the weather in future - at least that seems to be doing what BOM expects, so far this spring at any rate. Like many people I was rather surprised to hear Deb Frecklington declare on election night that she intended to remain the leader of the LNP, which was quickly turned around on Monday. The LNP in Queensland is something of a strange beast - some of its MPs come from the coasts and the major cities and some from the bush. I realise this is the result of its being a single political entity for a few parliamentary terms now after years of conservative coalition, with the Nationals in Queensland having traditionally had the greater numbers. But in the modern political era I wonder if the party has something of an identity crisis. Certainly on a federal scale the Nationals are seen as not being as forthright in standing up for ‘the bush’ as in the past. Maybe a way forward in Queensland might be to break away from the LNP and carve out - or re-carve - their political niche. That said you can’t do a great deal when you’re on the Opposition benches, but the LNP has sat on those for a while now and faces another four years of them. Whatever the conservative political strategy is in Queensland, it’s obviously not working. On the government side of politics the ALP under Annastacia Palaszczuk has convincingly won another term. The Free Times will be keeping up the questions to the government in when it comes to the issues affecting our region, not the least of which is water security.

Major upgrade down south

A new saleyards? From page 1 “There are many options on the table and I wish to take this opportunity to reassure the community that we are not considering leasing or selling the saleyards. “They will remain a Council owned asset, managed and maintained by Council for the community until the community tells us otherwise. “The future of the saleyards is a significant and strategic decision and we will consider all the options in consultation with the community and livestock industry. “In reviewing the future of the saleyards, we will consider the facility’s viability and sustainability, animal welfare, environmental issues, industry standards, biosecurity, traffic management, information technology and workplace health and safety. “The Warwick Saleyards have been a major pillar in the identity of the Southern Downs for nearly 60 years and we need to ensure our region has a quality and progressive facility which meets animal welfare requirements and industry best practice standards. “These saleyards are iconic to the Southern Downs.” The spokeswoman said the council “will consider the Warwick Saleyards Master Plan and Business Case and the option of a greenfield or brownfield site further when a report

Discussion over the future of the Warwick Saleyards comes as a $5 million upgrade of the Guyra and Armidale Livestock Selling Centres was announced last week. NSW Northern Tablelands MP and Minister for Agriculture Adam Marshall announced funding had been secured “for the significant redevelopments”. In a statement Mr Marshall said on Thursday last week he “joined Armidale Regional Council Interim Administrator Viv May and President of the New England Associated Agents Sam Sewell at the Armidale Saleyards to make the industry shaping announcement”. “Today marks a turning point for livestock producers in the Northern Tablelands, with this redevelopment set to deliver improved livestock handling facilities and increased buyer competition for vendors,” Mr Marshall said last Thursday. “Both Guyra and Armidale saleyards directly injects more than $72 million into the local economy each year, selling around 300,000 head of sheep and cattle on average every 12 months. “Following a meeting last week with Acting Deputy Premier Paul Toole, I was successful in securing the $4,998,000 needed for these works, through the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund. “Using this grant, Council will replace and extend the cattle holding yards at Armidale Saleyards, renew its cattle weighing scales, increase the amount of vehicle parking and refurbish amenities and offices. “To improve environmental sustainability on site a system will be installed to harvest water from the large existing roof, which will be used in a truck wash-down reuse program, with solar panels also to be installed to lower power costs on site. “At Guyra, all the old timber sheep yards and loading races will be replaced with steel and the onsite amenities and kiosk facilities will be refurbished. “Heavy-vehicle access will be improved with works to be undertaken on internal and external roads. “Increasing the holding capacity and improving access will make these yards some of the highest quality in northern NSW, attracting the best stock, biggest buyers and highest prices for farmers.” “NSW Public Works Advisory (PWA) will manage the project, working alongside Armidale Regional Council.” Mr Marshall said he “acknowledged Armidale Regional Council and the New England Associated Agents for the plan they presented to the government”. “By capitalising on both towns’ strengths in agriculture, these upgrades will ultimately result in new and greater opportunities to market livestock, facilitating the growing appetite for online selling. “If cattle graziers in outlying areas like Walcha know they are going to consistently get high prices selling at nearby Armidale, they will be more inclined to send their stock there, instead of Tamworth. “Council has given the commitment it will undertake these works in a staged process, so as not to impact on regular sheep and cattle sales. “The project will be jointly funded by the NSW and Commonwealth Governments.”

State election outcomes By Jeremy Sollars Counting of postal votes in a number of undecided seats in the 2020 Queensland election continued at the start of this week, but the state-wide result and the result in our local electorate of Southern Downs were both clear. The ALP government of Annastacia Palaszczuk was returned to office for four years - with a majority in its own right, with an expected 50 seats out of 93 in state parliament. As at time of printing of the Free Times this week the LNP opposition was expected to finish on 34, the Greens two, Katters Australian Party three and One Nation with one, and the remaining three seats still in doubt. The final results of all seats will not be officially declared by the Electoral Commission of Queensland until early next week. In Southern Downs sitting LNP MP James Lister has been comfortably returned for another term in office, although the vote of his nearest competitor, the ALP’s Joel Richters, increased from the 2017 election when Mr Richters also contested the seat. Mr Lister’s primary vote also increased, with both he and Mr Richters appearing to benefit from an effective collapse of the One Nation vote, a trend largely replicated across Queensland On primary votes Mr Lister came in at 14, 456 - up from 12,797 in 2017 - while Mr Richters received 7439, compared with 5245 in 2017. In 2017 One Nation candidate Josh Coyne - who finished second to Mr Lister at that election - polled 6331 votes, while this time around Rosemary Moulden came in at 2753 for One Nation. The One Nation primary vote in 2020 dropped by about 10 per cent from 2017. The Greens polled 1113 in Southern Downs in 2020, against 1340 in 2017. A factor present in 2017 and not in 2020 was Goondiwindi councillor Rob Mackenzie, who in 2017 polled just over 5000 primary votes. The only other candidate in 2017 - independent Jay Nauss - polled just 300 in that election. He did not re-contest in 2020 but new candidates Malcolm Richardson (Shooters, Farmers & Fishers) and Deb Waldron of Legalise Cannabis Qld received 1179 and 1021 primary votes respectively. Party games ... Deb Frecklington resigned as LNP leader on Monday morning of this week following her party’s defeat and internal jostling for the new leader - and a possible new deputy to replace Tim Mander - was underway in earnest at time of printing of the Free Times this week. The front-runner was David Crisafulli, although Fiona Simpson and David Janetzki were also being touted. Mr Crisafulli’s seat is Broadwater on the Gold Coast. For his part James Lister on Monday of this week would not comment on who he would support as the new Opposition Leader and Deputy Leader, and said he had no significant expectation of becoming a member of the LNP shadow cabinet. The 2020-2024 parliamentary term in Queensland will be Mr Lister’s second, mean-

Re-elected LNP Member for Southern Downs James Lister. (File photo). ing he is still a relative newcomer to state politics. Behind the scenes senior LNP figures were this week understood to be fuming over the party’s performance at the 2020 election, with a move earlier in the year to oust Ms Frecklington from the leadership failing to gain momentum. Mr Lister issued the following statement to the Free Times earlier this week “I am grateful for the trust that people all over our large electorate have placed in me,” Mr Lister said. “I thank the people of Southern Downs for electing me again, and I promise to keep working hard and doing my very best for everyone this term. “I would also like to thank the other candidates for their fairness and goodwill during the campaign. “It was a very pleasing result locally in Southern Downs even if the statewide LNP re-

sult has been disappointing. “As postal votes are counted I expect that I will end up with about a 12% swing to me compared to last election, giving me about 53% primary vote against Labor on about 26%. “The LNP’s loss of the opportunity to govern is disappointing to me, but I acknowledge and accept the people’s decision, and congratulate Ms Palaszczuk on being re-elected as Premier. “I want to thank Deb Frecklington for the very hard work that she has put into campaigning for the LNP to form Government. “The Leader of the Opposition is a very tough job, and although Deb didn’t make it to the Premier’s Office, nobody should doubt how hard she worked, or how sincere and selfless she is as an MP. “She has my friendship, respect and wellwishes as she continues as a parliamentary colleague of mine. “Obviously my colleagues and I in the LNP party room will be choosing a new LNP leader

in the coming weeks. “I won’t be making any public commentary on this matter but I will of course give my complete support to whoever emerges as the leader of our team. “From day one, we will work hard to be an honest, effective and faithful alternative government and to earn the chance to govern Queensland at the 2024 election.” Southern Downs primary vote (two-party preferred not finalised at time of printing) HENDERSON, Tom (Queensland Greens) 1113 (3.98%) RICHTERS, Joel (Australian Labor Party) 7439 (26.60%) LISTER, James (LNP) - 14,456 (51.70%) RICHARDSON, Malcolm (Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party) - 1179 (4.22%) WALDRON, Deborah (Legalise Cannabis Qld) - 1021 (3.65%) MOULDEN, Rosemary (Pauline Hanson’s One Nation) 2753 (9.85%)

Little say on wind farm By Jeremy Sollars A development application for the proposed MacIntyre Wind Farm crossing the Goondiwindi and Southern Downs Regional Council areas was lodged with the Queensland Government late last week by Spanish-owned global renewable energy developer Acciona. But residents and the councils will not have a formal opportunity to scrutinise the application in detail with there being no legislative requirement for it to be publicly advertised, and it will not be referred to the councils for comment. Wind farm proposals in Queensland are solely assessed by the State Government through its power State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA), an arm of the Department of State Development and Queensland Treasury. SARA also reports to the office of the Queensland Coordinator-General, a likewie SARA is only required to publicly notify its final decision on wind farms. Residents can however complete a brief online survey to voice their views directly to Acciona, which has already appointed a senior project management team and a range of consultants despite not having any formal approval for the wind farm. The company plans to develop the MacIntyre Wind Farm across 40,000 of private land in the Cement Mills and Pikedale districts it has leased from local landholders, with 120 turbines. Most of the wind farm would be located in the Goondiwindi council area with portions extending into the SDRC area at Pikedale and Goldfields, with the Durikai State Forest near Karara forming a ‘buffer zone’. The Queensland Government’s own renewable energy company - CleanCo - will develop 18 turbines of its own just south of Durikai State Forest, understood to be included in the 120 overall figure. Former Deputy Premier and Treasurer - and as of last weekend former MP for South Brisbane - Jackie Trad announced on March 26 this year that a CleanCo component involving 18 wind turbines would form part of the Acciona project. A new transmission line to take electricity from the wind farm to the Millmerran power station would run through the Karara and Leyburn districts. Acciona said in early 2020 a series of public consultation meetings would be held with affected communities but attributed a cessation of consultation to COVID-19. As of this week no public meetings had been announced by Acciona. For their part both Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi and Goondiwindi Mayor Lawrence Springborg have said they expect Acciona to consult with their councils about any aspects of the wind farm which could affect council interests, including roadworks and traffic disruption during the construction phase. Neither has taken an active stance against the Acciona proposal. The wind turbines proposed would have a maximum wing-tip height of 285 metres and heavy vehicle movements to enable their

The MacIntyre Wind Farm will cover 40,000 hectares of leased private land. (File image) transport to the site are likely to cause significant highway traffic disruption in the local area over a period of several months. Most wind turbine components are manufactured overseas. The re-elected Palaszczuk ALP government has a target of achieving 50 per cent of all of Queensland’s energy needs from renewables by 2030, including solar and wind farms. Former State Minister for Energy Dr Anthony Lynham - who quit politics before the 2020 Queensland election - said earlier this year the MacIntyre Wind Farm would mean “jobs and business opportunities across the Southern Downs and Darling Downs”. “As one of the largest onshore wind farms in the southern hemisphere, the MacIntyre Precinct will have far reaching and long lasting social and economic benefits locally, and for the whole state,” Dr Lynham said. “The local spend on the Downs is forecast to be more than $500 million during construction. “That’s jobs and business flowing into the south west from later this year when early works start.” Dr Lynham said the 1026 MW wind farm project was expected to be progressively connected to the statewide energy grid from 2022, with 64 km of new powerlines connecting the wind farm to Queensland’s electricity network at Millmerran. “State-owned Powerlink has already commenced working on the connection of the project to the grid, which on its own will support up to 240 jobs,” Dr Lynham said. Acciona Australia Energy Managing Director Brett Wickham has said Acciona is “excited to be working with the (State Government’s) CleanCo to deliver one of the largest onshore wind farms in the southern hemisphere”. “In addition to generating up to 400 jobs over its lifetime, a Community Enhancement Program will be established to deliver added value to the local community,” Mr Wickham said earlier in 2020. “The project is scheduled to begin construction in mid-2021, with a gradual start-up

in phases to ensure connection to the grid with full technical guarantees for the state’s electricity system. “The entire MacIntyre complex will be operational in 2024.” Your say? Acciona has called on local businesses and residents located near the MacIntyre Wind Farm Precinct to have their say on the project by taking part in what a spokesman said is “a short, online survey”. “The survey (https://www.surveymonkey. com/r/MacIntyre) forms part of the work that independent organisation, EMM Consulting, is conducting for a Social Impact Analysis (SIA) of the project,” the spokesman said this week. “Acciona is committed to understanding what the local community thinks of the project. “We know a project like MacIntyre Windfarm must deliver long-term benefits to local businesses and residents. “To plan for this properly we need to understand what is important to people in the area so we can try to maximise the project benefits while minimising any impacts. “We have a number of things in place to ensure we capture these local views, including the Social Impact Analysis, the Community Engagement Committee, and regular supplier and community briefings.” “The MacIntyre SIA aims to: describe the existing social conditions and demographic profile of the local communities identify and assess the extent and nature of potential social risks evaluate the significance of the social impacts and benefits arising from the project provide mitigation recommendations to reduce the negative social impacts and enhancement measures for significant positive impacts develop a monitoring and management framework. “As well as the online survey, EMM Consulting is conducting a range of in-depth inter-

views and workshops with local stakeholders.” No further details of the interviews and workshops had been released by time of printing of the Free Times this week. Developer of the MacIntyre Wind Farm Acciona last month announced a group of local stakeholders who will serve on its first Community Engagement Committee (CEC). Acciona’s Brett Wickham thanked those who nominated for the CEC and said the committee members represented an excellent cross-section of the communities interested in the project. “Community committees are designed to foster genuine discussion and collaboration and are always an invaluable source of advice on ways a project should be progressed within an existing local community,” he said. “We were impressed with the calibre of nominations for our first MacIntyre Wind Farm CEC and look forward to working with committee members to achieve really strong local outcomes from the project. “The local stakeholders appointed to the MacIntyre Wind Farm CEC, who are representative of the three local council areas with interest in the project, are David Bartlett (Gore), Traprock Group Trudie Bartlett (Harlaxton), Regional Development Australia Michelle Conkas (Severnlea), Granite Belt Sustainable Action Network Lloyd Hilton (Karara), local community volunteer Susie Kelly (Goondiwindi), Goondiwindi Shire Council Graham Parker (Stanthorpe), Stanthorpe and Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce Joel Richters (Goondiwindi), Care Goondiwindi Jo Sheppard (Toowoomba), University Southern Queensland Joel Richters was the nominated ALP candidate for the state seat of Southern Downs in the 2020 Queensland election. Mr Wickham said the CEC term of membership for Community Representatives is two years. “The CEC will hold its first meeting in midOctober 2020 at which the CEC’s independent chairperson will be announced,” he said. “One of the first items of business for the CEC will be to provide input into MacIntyre Precinct Social Impact Assessment (SIA). “The SIA, which kicked off in the middle of September, is being conducted by leading Australian planning and environmental consultancy firm EMM. “The purpose of the SIA is to assist ACCIONA to understand the social impacts associated with the project and to provide the foundation for decisions regarding the development and review of community programs and initiatives to be delivered through the Projects’ Community Enhancement Program. “The SIA, which incorporates a mix of face-to-face consultation, field studies and in- depth research, will run over the coming months, with a final report to be presented in Q1 2021.”

Busking leads the way By Tania Phillips Weekly performances in Stanthorpe each Saturday are the latest part of a campaign to create Special Entertainment precincts in the town. The performances from 11am to noon each week are part of the push being made by the Granite Belt Music Council. Council spokesman Kel Johnson said the group believed that music could help lead economic recovery in the region after the recent disasters and had started the campaign to allow easier access to live music in the town . “Special Entertainment precincts - their authority and framework is found in section 264 of the Local Government act of 2009 and what it does is allows for the State government laws for councils to have special entertainment precincts,” he explained. “What it does is reduces a lot of the red tape and you’ve only got one group - the council - looking out for it and they make the rules in there. “In the past we’ve had problems with street closures, there is various reasons why that has happened but if you have Special Entertainment precincts it allows greater flexibility with things like the Apple and Grape Festival. You won’t have to rely on EPA, Police and Liquor Licensing as much. It will be dealt with by council and the local community that’s the way it should happen.” He said when it is defined in a town-planning sense, it made it easier for live music to happen. “It’s good for a live music hub, tourism and good for other arts as well,” Mr Johnson said. “We are trying to propose and get funding for the Bandstand - we want to do four concerts one for each season. There is another program that is happening that the Happy Valley Hippy

Buskers and musicians could lead teh way to economic recovery in the area according to the Granite Belt Music Council. Shop is doing - and that’s the busking. “But they are wanting to formalize it and call it Be Not Afraid Live. We’re about trying to aid the recovery and we think we have a

good thing happening.” He said there was a petition that people can sign on-line and at Cafe 77 and Happy Valley Hippy Shop as well.

Focus on … Oak Tree

Open Day for Oak Tree By Tania Phillips The doors will open - in a Covid friendly way at the Oak Tree Retirement Village in Warwick as part of their scaled-down 10th anniversary celebrations and plans for the future. The open days, on 13-14 October, will allow prospective residents to come and see the facilities and inspect the display villas. Work is due to begin on the final stage of the retirement village soon with prospective residence invited to come along to see just what is available according to village manager Mary O’Neill. Mary said the Open Day was a great opportunity to meet the team and hear from the residents why Oak Tree is such a great place to live. “On Friday the 13th and Saturday 14th from 10-2pm we’ve got the open day so that’s when people from the public can come in and view the villas and displays,” Mary O’Neill said. “And then we have a 10th birthday celebration on the 28 November. We’re actually have just a small 10th birthday celebration because of Covid because we obviously have limited numbers and next year, when numbers allow, we will have a big open day.” She said as well as the main days there were opportunities to come in during the week between 10am and 2pm Monday to Friday. Mary, who has been manager at the village for almost six years, said the centre was about to enter an exciting new stage. “We will start work early next year on our

last ten years which will see the village at 59, which will see us completed,” she explained. “It will good to see the village finished, it will have a nice entrance, a pedestrian entrance on Wood Street so you will be able to see the Oak Tree sign from Wood Street when it’s finished. We’ll have a caravan storage area - everything will be finished.” Offering maintenance-free living and the safety and security of a caring environment, Oak Tree specialises in building smaller more private communities, complete with purposebuilt recreational facilities.

Mary said the Warwick Village has everything a retiree may want including companionship of people their own age - something that has been important during this time when many of their relatives have been unable to visit due to border closures and lockdowns. “We’ve got a pool, a bowling green, we currently have caravan storage but that will be improved when the village is finished, we have indoor bowls twice a month, we have bingo, morning teas, happy hours, we have an active social club and a men’s barbecue once a month,” she explained.

“The men get together once a month, we have a trivia after noon and there’s exercise classes. There is something for everyone and it’s been important to have all that - obviously we couldn’t do it all at the start of Covid but now that numbers allow part of our community could come back together and that’s what we’ve been doing. “It has been difficult not seeing their families - a lot of families live away - and it impacted them as well not being able to come home and see their parents. People haven’t been able to travel across the border but it’s also been the number of people you can entertain. The best thing about it for the residents though has been that they’re not isolated - they still have the people in the village to talk to - that would be the biggest thing.” For more information on the Open Day and the new Villas phone - Phone 1300 367 155. 12469164-DL45-20

Bridge Club notes The Collins team (Noela Collins, Mavis Simpson, John Rose and David Moran) have defended their title in the Teams Championship having led from the start. In second place were the Mobbs team (Judy Mobbs, Susan Goddard, Ros Hart and Nea McGinness). The biggest swing recorded by the Collins team was achieved on Board 15 where they were the only team to find the slam in diamonds. Of more interest is the result on Board 5 where Mavis (South) salvaged their contract of 4S, which must have seemed doomed when dummy (North) was displayed. However, in bridge you never give up. West’s lead of the King of clubs was a little unorthodox but it warned Mavis that she could not allow East to gain the lead and switch to a club for partner to trump. Moreover the only chance to make the contract was to find West with the two top spade honours. Therefore the way home for N/S was to win with the Ace of clubs and come back to hand via the Ace of diamonds and lead a small spade towards the Queen. A cunning West will play low forcing declarer to make a crucial decision: follow low in dummy or play the Queen. The Queen is the right choice, as the defenders will win nothing else but their

three trumps. Ten tricks made for 620 and 10 IMPs. Pat Kelly and John Nankervis found an easier contract in 2NT by North making eleven tricks after the lead of the Queen of diamonds. Stopping short of game limited their gain on the board. Most other N/S pairs were satisfied with 3C. Results: Friday, 30/10/20 (6 & &frac12;-table Mitchell): N/S S. Mason T. Mason (60.4) 1; R.

Works approvals The Southern Downs Regional Council says following the announcement of its COVID-19 Economic Recovery Package in May “business confidence remains strong in the region as development applications continue to roll in for Council’s consideration and approval”. A spokeswoman said “despite the uncertain economic climate, Council’s relief offer of a fifty percent reduction to development assessment fees has seen a steady increase in development approvals, with Planning and Development recording the strongest quarter of 2020 in the middle of COVID-19”. “The strong quarter is further bolstered by the most Operational Works approvals than any other quarter on record,” the spokeswoman said. Mayor Vic Pennisi said Council was focused on keeping the economy moving and keeping people in jobs. “While the road has been particularly rocky this year, our region’s economy has not been derailed,” Cr Pennisi said. “Council’s COVID-19 Economic Recovery Package was intended to provide immediate relief and support to the region by offering reduced fees and concessions.”

Detectives have charged a man with assault and weapons charges following an incident at a Leslie Dam address last Friday. Queensland Police Media said police will allege a 24-year-old Warwick man went to the Saddledam Road address to speak with a 35-year-old man when a conversation developed into a physical altercation. The Warwick man is alleged to have returned to his car and grabbed a firearm, shooting the other man in the leg. A physical altercation between the two men continued before the younger man fled the scene. He was apprehended a short time later by police and charged with one count each of acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm, dangerous conduct with a weapon and possess shortened firearm. He was scheduled to appear in the Toowoomba Magistrates Court on Saturday.

HISTORY FreeTimes.com.au

Focus on … Local History

The heroism of a Nurse I recently read a wonderful heart-warming book titled “Anzac Girls” written by Peter Rees and he gives a very detailed history of those women who answered the call to service in 1915. It gives a powerful account of the difficulties facing the nurses who attended to the Anzacs throughout the period of 1914 - 1918. But, more importantly, it shows up the spirit and courage of the nursing profession of British, Australian and New Zealand, that demonstrated the highest ideals of their profession in that time. Although I could spend a lot of time lauding these wonderful women, I feel that Peter Rees does an outstanding job doing this in his book. However, while reading his work, a British nurse was mentioned briefly which grabbed my attention and that was Sister Edith Cavell. I realise she has been written about in other history books but I feel compelled to tell her story for those who do not recall her heroics over 105 years ago. Edith was born on 4th December 1865 at Swardeston, Norfolk, England, one of three daughters and a son, John, to Frederick and Louisa Cavell. Frederick was a part-time Vicar, so the family lived in the Vicarage where they received home schooling by their father, before Edith went on to finish her education at Norwich High School for Girls. Edith worked as a Governess in London before she decided that she wanted to take up nursing. In April 1896, Edith was accepted, and trained in a London Hospital, whereby after graduating, she worked at hospitals in Shoreditch, King’s Cross and Manchester. When the typhoid epidemic swept London she was awarded the Maidstone Medal for her work. Later, she accepted a position as Matron of Belgium’s first training hospital and School of Nursing in Brussels, thus becoming recognised as the founder of modern nursing education in Belgium, before moving back to England around 1913. When World War 1 broke out in 1914, Edith returned to Brussels which was now occupied by German troops by August of that year. After the Battle of Mons in Belgium on 4th August, Edith was asked to treat 2 wounded British soldiers who had been unable to get back to their lines. She did not hesitate, and after treatment, had them smuggled back to the Netherlands. Over the next 12 months, Edith assisted around 200 British, French, and Belgian soldiers by hiding them in the hospital, before handing them over to guides to get them back over the borders. She treated all soldiers whether they were German or others nationalities, as she saw it to be her duty as a nurse to do so. However, she came under notice by a

German collaborator, Georges Gaston Quien, who had her arrested on 5th August 1915, and placed in solitary confinement at St. Gillies Prison in Brussels. Edith was given a Court Martial, which is rather unusual for a non-combatant, on the 7th October 1915, found guilty, and sentenced to death by firing squad. The sentence was to be carried out a few days later on the 12th October 1915 at a firing range near Brussels, along with 34 others. Edith’s execution caused outrage in Britain and she became recognised as a symbol for the Allied cause. Edith maintained both grace and charm while awaiting her death, and could not see how her dedication to helping her patients was wrong. Showing tremendous dignity in her final days, Edith responded with the words that; “Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness for anyone”, before the blindfold was placed over her eyes. After the cessation of hostilities that ended World War 1, Edith Cavell’s body was exhumed and brought back to England. On her return, Edith’s body was escorted along the streets to Westminster Abbey for a memorial service, then escorted back to her home town of Norwich to be buried in the Cathedral there. Edith is also honoured by a statue in St. Martin’s Place in London, which contains her final words: “Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness for anyone”. The untimely death of Edith Cavell and the courage shown at her execution, must have been an inspiration to all those heroic nurses on the battlefields of France and the Middle East. Here was a woman who apparently demonstrated the highest ideals of the nursing profession as she did not discriminate in her treatment of soldiers, both allied and German, and died defending those ideals. It is certain that the Australian nurses, as well as others, also displayed this courage. In World War 1, a total of 8 nurses were awarded the Military Medal for bravery in the field. They included Sisters Dorothy Cawood, Clare Deacon, Alice Ross-King, Rachael Kelly, Pearl Corkhill, Rachael Pratt, Alice Birdwood and Eileen King. Eileen King’s award was won when her Casualty Clearing Station was under artillery attack from the Germans while she was assisting the surgeons. A shell almost obliterated the theatre but Eileen kept working, ignoring her injuries, which included a broken left thigh which luckily avoided her main blood vessels and numerous shrapnel wounds. Soldiers who knew her said: “Eileen King was one of the bravest women they knew”. I wrote a story on Alice Ross-King in the Warwick Daily News on 6th September 2019,

Edith Cavell. and highlighted her bravery and titled the story: “The Unsung Heroes of World War 1. That story was also about the incredible bravery of those intrepid women who answered the call to service under the most trying condi-

tions with little help from the allies. So, to all the nurses of Australia who served in the Great War, we salute and honour you on Remembrance Day, 11th November, 2020. LEST WE FORGET 12468889-CG45-20

There are times when it seems the words “politician” and “scandal” go hand in hand and it is certainly the case in this four-part series behind the doors of London’s Number 10. Hugh Laurie (pictured, House) is Peter Laurence, a politician with eyes on the top job. But revelations of a past aﬀair and a love-child locked up threaten to unravel his plans. Tonight, as journalist Charmian Pepper (Sarah Greene) investigates Peter’s links with an American think tank, his daughter Lily (Millie Brady) uncovers his aﬀair.

Tonight’s second season premiere delves into the popularity of Aldi’s Moser Roth chocolate and heads back to 1935 to understand how the Milky Way brand came to represent two diﬀerent chocolate bars in the US and UK. It’s not all about delicious snacks though, the show also checks in on Rosie Dummer (pictured), a Lancashire chocolate and cake artist trying to sculpt a life-sized model of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and chef Seb Holmes, who experiments with insects in chocolate recipes.

ADDICTED AUSTRALIA SBS, 8.35pm

This new four-part series isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions. It follows 10 Australians battling addiction as they move through a six-month treatment program. We watch as each person – who was brave and vulnerable enough to ask for help – navigates how to ﬁnd a better way for themselves and their families. It’s not always easy viewing, but it is important. Addiction doesn’t discriminate, it can happen to anyone. As Sarah )pictured) says, “I don’t look like a drug addict, so I’ve been told”. This series does a great job of asking us to break down the barriers and become better informed on the nuanced issues around addiction and recovery. A mustwatch.

They say we’ll have up to eight different careers in our working life, but that doesn’t make starting over easy. In The Rookie, Nathan Fillion (Castle) stars as John, who has been navigating the ups and downs as a trainee police officer in this action-packed crime comedy-drama. In tonight’s double-episode, John and Jessica’s (Sarah Shahi) relationship becomes more complicated after she shares some surprising news that makes him question his choices. Then, proving you’re never too old to start again, John’s birthday doesn’t quite go to plan when he has to babysit a crime scene at a law office. Nathan Fillion stars in The Rookie

OBITUARY FreeTimes.com.au Desmond John Johnson 11 July 1934 - 24 October 2020 Born in Warwick on 11 July 1934, Des was the son of Edward and Ilma Johnson, brother to Noel (deceased) and sister to Margaret. He attended primary school at Warwick East and secondary at Warwick State High. He was fond of sport - particularly in hockey, going on to captain the Queensland Secondary School hockey team. Outside of school he was an altar-boy at St Marks Church and very active in the youth group. Des and his maters were also notorious for disturbing the whole neighbourhood on Guy Fawkes Night by lighting fireworks and throwing them in kerosene tins. After he left school he worked at Dempster’s sports store before he joined the PMG, delivering telegrams before moving to Brisbane to live with his Aunt Vera to train as a linesman in telecommunication. While living in Brisbane he joined the Rovers and met his wife to be Judith. After many trips in to northern and western Queensland for what is now Telstra, he returned to Warwick where he worked in the line depot for many years and became engaged to Judith. The pair married on Valentines Day 1959 at Saint Andrews Church, Brisbane before beginning their married life in Warwick where they built their family home and their four children were born. During that time in Warwick he continued to play hockey. He was also President of the Warwick Choral Society where he was not only a chorister but also stage-managed many of their musical productions. After 16 years, he was transferred back to Brisbane to take up the position of Senior Lines Officer at Telstra - a position he held for 38 years and the family moved back to the north side of Brisbane. In 1982 Judith was given the opportunity to

study at Holy Names University in California with Des travelling with her to support her in her studies. This resulted in Judith later being offered a teaching position at the University with Des there to take on the household duties once again. No one could crease a pair pants like Des. After Des retired, he and Judy started “Clayfield School of Music” where he published and printed music education and materials (mostly with a rum and coke close by). During this time they travelled together to many international conferences where Des presented his book display with flair and always ready to have a coffee and a chat with the participants. Another voluntary role that he loved was working with the Music Department at Clayfield College - who will ever forget his legendary Friday hot dogs and the Saturday morning car washes to raise money. In 1989 he acted as chaperone to the Clayfield College Canzona choir when they travelled to Hungary and Japan. He was often spotted out front waving the Australian flag. The Clayfield School of Music book display was still a big part of his life. He travelled across Australia with his displays until his health deteriorated. As a family we have great memories of our many holidays at Mooloolaba. Going fishing, camping and spending special family time together. Des lived his life to the fullest. Always ready to take his children on a special little trip, be it to the football or speedway or fishing. He was there for the birth of his six grandchildren and nine grandchildren and he has loved each and everyone of them and enjoyed watching them grow. The other two loves of his life were his two fur babies (Brooke and Snorkle). All he wanted before he died was to give them one last cuddle, which he managed to do. - Contributed by Des Johnson’s family

Quality concrete from a family business By Tania Phillips Southern Downs Concrete is a family owned business supplying quality premixed concrete to Warwick and District according to owner operator Cameron Mauch. “I started it a couple of months ago,” Cameron explained about the new business that he operates with wife Raelene. A fifth-generation local Warwick man, Cameron has long been involved with concrete mobile plants but has been working away for the past 15 years but Warwick is well and truly his home town and he wanted to provide a service for the people of this region. “It thought I wanted to come home and start a plant here so that’s what we did,” he said. “It’s not my first rodeo with concrete plants but it’s the first one I’ve set one in Warwick. “I’ve always lived around here - I was a tradie in my early years.” However, for the past 10 years he has

been working for a home building company around South West Queensland, helping to supply the concrete - something he continues to operate. But the new business is now up and running to supply his local community directly. “It’s been slow and steady so far,” Cameron said. He said the Covid situation hasn’t really affected them. “The work projects have still been there - so it hasn’t really worried me. “We are fundamentally a concrete supply business so we supply concrete for personal application - we supply all grades of concrete. “We just wanted to provide a bit of personalized service, it’s a family business. It’s me and my wife Raelene. We are just servicing Warwick and surrounds.” Contact Cameron on 0428882231 or you can phone the plant number on 0418649697 and check out their Facebook - https:// www.facebook.com/southerndownsconcrete.

Rural Links Union action ‘militant’ Minister for Agriculture David Littleproud has slammed the “irresponsible actions of militant unions who are risking the availability of eggs across the nation”. “Threats of industrial action by the CFMEU against Huhtamaki Fiber Packaging Oceania - Australia’s largest egg carton manufacturer will impact on the ability of egg producers to get their product onto supermarket shelves and into people’s homes,” Mr Littleproud said this week. “Union demands for a four per cent pay rise during a recession seems outrageous and will only threaten the viability of this carton manufacturer. “If major packaging manufacturers fold due to outrageous union demands, we’ll see even more reliance on overseas packaging meaning more Australian jobs heading off-shore.

“We should be supporting Australian industry and jobs at this time, not jeopardising them. “Huhtamaki manufactures more than 70 per cent of Australian egg cartons. “It’s clear these targeted union disruptions are deliberately aimed at hurting Australian egg farmers and the families that buy Australian eggs. “It’s important for Australians to have access to high quality, affordable protein and eggs are a staple protein source for many households. “Eggs are an extremely popular food choice, and Australians eat more than 17.2 million eggs every day thanks to the hard work of more than 277 egg farming business across the nation.”

“More pricing detail”: QFF The Queensland Farmers’ Federation (QFF) and its members have welcomed Queensland Labor’s commitment to reduce water prices for the state’s irrigators by at least 15 per cent but require more detail to confirm the potential benefits for the agriculture sector. A re-elected Labor Government would deliver a 15 per cent cut in irrigation water charges for farmers who buy water from Queensland’s 35 state-owned irrigation schemes, and a 50 per cent for horticulture growers from 1 July 2021. QFF CEO Dr Georgina Davis said affordable and reliable water was a key enabler for Queensland’s agriculture sector to continue growing world class food, fibre and foliage and unlocking new opportunities, particularly for export into the future. “Irrigated agriculture is the quality and quantity product engine room for the sector. However, the price and the associated pumping costs of water are becoming prohibitive for farmers with flow on effects for farm productivity and profitability,” Dr Davis said. “While QFF welcomes a reduction in water prices for farmers, uncertainty exists as to why a 50 per cent price reduction has not been applied across the whole agricultural sector in recognition of the significant economic benefit our various commodity members provide for all Queenslanders. “Such a large differentiation in water pric-

ing will encourage farms to re-evaluate cropping decisions and may see certain commodities prioritised over others.” “QFF understands that these price reductions will be applied across Queensland’s Category 2 Water Boards which are taking bulk water from Sunwater and Seqwater assets, and irrigation schemes that have transferred to Local Management Arrangements.” “QFF is seeking assurance that irrigation enterprises accessing commercial and potable water such as nurseries also receive the discount and the split billing that will need to occur for mixed commodity farms will not be onerous or administratively burdensome.” Queensland Labor’s irrigation price announcement follows the LNP’s announcement in July that it would reduce water prices by 20 per cent if elected by transitioning SunWater from an annuity method to a regulated asset based (RAB) approach for financing asset renewals. “QFF thanks both major political parties for recognising the importance of affordable and reliable irrigation water for the state’s farmers ahead of this weekend’s election,” Dr Davis said. “QFF is looking forward to working with the next Queensland Parliament to ensure the future sustainability and prosperity of irrigated agriculture in Queensland.”

Future Orchards funding APAL last week committed to funding the Australian apple and pear industry’s flagship extension program, Future Orchards, and to reduce the program’s reliance on grower levies. APAL CEO Phil Turnbull said APAL’s investment will commence from 1 July 2021 and continues APAL’s commitment to investing the profits from its international Pink Lady operations to strengthen the Australian apple and pear industry. “We are really excited to have reached a financial position that allows us to take some pressure off levies but at the same time provide funding certainty for a program that is so valuable to the ongoing success of our industry. Now is the right time to take this next step,” said Mr Turnbull. With ongoing funding locked in, APAL is looking forward to enhancing the very successful program and including further ideas and feedback from Australian growers. “The most obvious change we are proposing is to increase the time we - and our speakers and experts - spend with growers in the regions. We are also looking forward to ramping up our support for all aspects of a successful business - from business management, compliance and supporting all varieties, including branded varieties, to consumer trends and export development beyond the farm gate,” said Mr Turnbull. “In partnership with AgFirst, we are continuing to work through the details of the new program with current partners and look forward to sharing further details as we approach the 1 July 2021 start date,” said Mr Turnbull.

Since 2005, APAL in partnership with NZ ag consultancy AgFirst has developed the Future Orchards program to deliver a suite of very successful extension and development activities. AgFirst’s Ross Wilson said the funding commitment was an exciting new opportunity to build on the strengths of the existing program. “Over the past 15 years we have built an incredibly successful and highly regarded program by prioritising the needs of growers. We are excited to see the program continue to evolve and to build the knowledge and networks within and across the Australian apple and pear industry,” said Mr Wilson. Mr Turnbull said APAL looks forward to supporting Hort Innovation’s work. “Hort Innovation oversees the investment of grower levies into a wide range of world-leading and exciting research initiatives. APAL’s intention is that Future Orchards will continue to provide a valuable avenue for translating these R&D outcomes into practical resources and opportunities for Australian apple and pear growers”. “APAL’s ability to fund such an important program from non-levy resources is a privilege that few industries enjoy. It marks an exciting new opportunity for partnerships and collaboration with industry in Australia and overseas, and with all tiers of government. We genuinely believe everyone associated with Future Orchards can look forward to further building the value of the program for our industry,” said Mr Turnbull.

Local livestock report Livestock agent ROSS ELLIS of McDougall & Sons brings his fortnightly update on local markets ... The rains came and there was joy and condolences depending if you were under the recent falls. This did not deter the flow of livestock through the selling centres. Vendors are still keen to present their products rain, hail, or shine. Cattle numbers have increased slightly, and the quality has improved with some strong lines of heavy cows and bullocks coming to the sale. Fat cows consistently over $3/kg and returning over $2200/hd. Steers were also chased by the exporters with good oaten steers making up to 380-400c/kg range to return $2300-$2800/hd. Grain fed vealer heifers selling from 355420c/kg to return between $1400-$1700/hd. Vealer steers were in the same boat as they were between 425c to 500c/kg to return $1650$1900/hd. Trade steers and heifers around the 300kg mark returning $1200-$1500/hd. Cow and calf units were particularly sought after with good Charolais cows and calves returning $2825/ unit and Angus cows and calves on their second calf returning $2450/unit.

Sheep and Lamb numbers whilst not strong showed good value for vendors. Lamb ewes/ hoggets back to paddock for breeding made $250 and $220/hd. Heavy trade lambs returning up to $198/hd. The re-stocker light weight lambs continue to surprise as the prices they are returning with 33kg store lambs selling to $133. Light lambs 37kg av off ewes selling to $150. Weaned 37/38kg lambs selling to $170. Mutton still strong with shorn merino ewes selling to $125, cfa (cast for age) merino ewes with 8-month skin to re-stockers for $140. Heavy XB ewes selling to processors for $168. The fantastic run of poultry, goats, and pigs shows no sign of letting down as buyers scramble to put some numbers together. Goats sold to a top of $180, with baconer pigs selling to $278, pork into the $200-$250 range, trade pigs $120 to $196, light stores $40 - $90. Young hens sold to $25/hd with hen and chicks selling to $130. - Ross Ellis, McDougall & Sons, Warwick, 0419 744 151

SDRC announces exclusion fencing approvals Following what it says was “significant interest” in the offer to landowners for exclusion fencing funding, the Southern Downs Regional Council approved 68.5km of fencing to 13 rural properties at last week’s Ordinary Meeting. A spokeswoman said “funded through Round 1 of the Australian Government’s Communities Combating Pests and Weed Impacts During Drought Program, Council allocated $342,500 to deliver exclusion fencing, and the approved applications will protect up to 6,656ha of land outside the established clusters”. “As anticipated, demand exceeded supply and the offering was oversubscribed with Council receiving 25 Expressions of Interest for 144.1km of exclusion fencing at a value of $720,500,” the spokeswoman said. Councillor Cameron Gow said “given the level of interest in the project and the benefits to the sustainability of the sheep and wool industry, Council will continue to explore future funding options for more fencing”. “It is great to see a number of our rural landowners benefit from this funding - we expected the project would be popular which is why equitable criteria was put in place under the guidance and advice of the steering committee,” Cr Gow said. “A key component of the criteria was for applicants to be willing to give local businesses an opportunity to benefit from the project through the supply materials, expertise and labour to build the fences. “This funding is part of a much larger project aimed at protecting the sheep and

wool industry, and our officers will continue to work with landowners during this project. “The criteria stated that to be eligible for the funding, applicants must be either currently running sheep, or demonstrate a plan to return to sheep in the future. “This strategy is aimed at protecting and enhancing the viability of the sheep and wool industry in the Southern Downs.

“Sheep and wool production requires more labour inputs than cattle farming and the flow on effects to the local economy from more jobs is significant. “Applications received through the Expression of Interest process were ranked, with the highest ranking applications notionally approved, until the available funding limit was met. “The assessment and ranking of applica-

tions was performed by a subset of the Cluster Fence Steering Committee.” The council spokeswoman said the steering committee is chaired by Cr Gow and includes Council pest management and economic development officers, local landholders representing Cluster groups, the Southern Downs Region Wild Dog Management Working Group and Biosecurity Queensland’s State Wild Dog Coordinator.

AgForce has lashed out at a “hypocritical and discriminatory” decision by ANZ to make emissions reductions targets a condition of loans to farmers. AgForce CEO and former banker with ANZ Michael Guerin said there was no doubt that banks had a vital role in agriculture - but managing climate change wasn’t one of them. “This completely hypocritical and counterproductive move exemplifies a sort of ‘creeping social activism’ we are seeing in the banking industry that is stifling growth and genuine practice improvement,” Mr Guerin said. “Banks are the last people who should be lecturing the community about right and wrong. “These sorts of stunts that single out certain industries to suit ‘activist agendas’ are an irresponsible handbrake on economic and jobs growth when they are most needed; they jeopardise agriculture’s prosperity and sustainability at a time when the industry will be critical to our post-COVID recovery. “It is deeply worrying that some banks ap-

pear to be compromising sensible and appropriate commercial decisions because of intimidation by single-issue activists, in some cases their own senior staff. “It is vital that banks do not base decisions that affect Australia’s food security and ability to bounce back post-COVID on the views of radical groups that do not in any way represent the opinions of the average Australian. “If ANZ were serious about reducing carbon emissions - rather than engaging in a meaningless, underhanded stunt to try and divert public scrutiny from the banking sector’s failings - they would work with, not against, primary producers. “Implementing genuine and effective farming practice change is expensive. “If the ANZ continues to turn its back on agriculture rather than work collaboratively with us we will be left with little choice but to respond in kind. “The banks need loyal customers as much as farmers need finance.”

Best grain storage tips... Storm rain, hail damage and wet paddocks are adding to harvest stress across southern Queensland and northern New South Wales as growers work around the clock to get crops into storage. But the challenge of harvesting doesn’t end at putting grain in the silo, with the Grains Research and Development Corporation’s (GRDC) Stored Grain Extension Team currently on call (1800 WEEVIL) to provide advice to growers storing grain at less than optimum moisture levels. Queensland Department of Agriculture’s (DAF) senior development agronomist Philip Burrill, who is a member of the GRDC Stored Grain Extension team, said there were several key points growers needed to keep front of mind when it came to storing grain with high moisture levels. “The current unsettled weather conditions across much of southern Queensland and northern NSW has seen growers harvesting early with grain at moisture levels of 14 to 17 per cent,” Mr Burrill said. “To avoid storage quality problems, growers need to act quickly once grain is in the silo. Grain respires like most living organisms, which means it takes in oxygen to use with carbohydrates, which in turn generates carbon dioxide, water and heat. “When grain has a high moisture content and is warm, the rate of respiration increases significantly. This is what causes grain to selfheat, similarly to a wet bale of hay. “Without aeration cooling of high moisture grain in storage, the temperature rapidly increases. For example, it can reach 40 degrees Celsius and more within a few hours of being in a silo. “This can result in serious ‘bin burnt’ grain damage and creates ideal conditions for moulds and insect pests.” Mr Burrill said when growers were in a situation where they needed to harvest early and temporarily store grain, it was critical they had aeration cooling, as well as clear plans to dry grain or blend grain within three to five weeks. “In most cases, grain can be safely held for

monitor the ambient temperature and relative humidity on-farm. If it the weather is wet and humidity is consistently above 85 per cent, they should turn off fans for short periods (two to four hours). Regularly check grain temperature with the aim of keeping it below 25 degrees Celsius. Remember, it is the average relative humidity of the air you are using while fans are running that is important. Short run periods for one to two hours of high humidity air during a rain storm should not cause problems as long as this is promptly followed by lower average relative humidity air (30 to 65 per cent relative humidity). ‘Turning grain’ is an option to consider. After two to four days of having wet grain in the silo, auger the grain into a truck, then back into a silo. Moving grain around and turning it over helps to break up hot spots that can develop in a silo. This may be helpful if your aeration air distribution system/ducting is limited. Mr Burrill said it may also be helpful for growers to understand the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) for various grains and make use of the charts and graphs available. “For example, the EMC figures for wheat when grain temperature is at 25°C for three grain moisture content levels - of 12.5 per cent, 14 per cent and 16 per cent - results in the matching relative humidity that develops within the grain bulk of approximately 60 per cent, 70 per cent and 82 per cent,” he said. “As a guide, during summer growers should aim for grain temperatures below 23°C in storage and safe grain moisture contents that keep the grain bulk relative humidity below 60 per cent. This reduces the risk of damage caused by heat, grain moulds and storage pests.” For advice from the GRDC Grain Storage Extension Team call 1800 WEEVIL. For more detailed information about storing high moisture grain go to https://storedgrain. com.au/dealing-with-high-moisture-grain/.

a few weeks at 14 to 16 per cent moisture content with small aeration cooling fans running continuously, delivering airflows of at least two to four litres per second per tonne (2-4 L/s/t),” he said. “Options for managing high moisture grain depends on the equipment available, but it is important to understand it is very difficult to reliably reduce moisture content using standard small aeration cooling fans (output 2-4 L/s/t) designed for cooling grain, not drying.” In summary, Mr Burrill said small aeration fans were useful for temporarily holding wet grain, but growers needed a plan to dry grain that involved either a grain dryer (batch or continuous flow); aeration drying in silos with high output fans (15-25 L/s/t); or blending grain. Tactics for silo set up for temporary storage of high moisture grain: Run aeration fans continuously (24/7) after the first truck load goes into the silo. Ide-

ally, use a silo with an aeration ducting design that ensures effective air distribution through wet grain. Silos with a wide base may require at least two fans opposite each other. Ensure silo roof vents or the top silo lid is open enough to ensure fan performance and that airflow is not restricted. Aeration fans need to be producing airflow rates of at least 2-4L/s/t. Consider only filling two-thirds of the silo to reduce the grain depth and effectively increase air flow. Do twice daily checks on grain temperature (use a grain probe - for example, Graintec Scientific - Toowoomba), silo fan operations and check grain smell at the top of the silo. Run aeration fans day and night to keep wet grain cool. Ideally, use an automatic aeration controller set on ‘auto continuous’. This automatically turns fan off for a short time when air exceeds 85 per cent relative humidity. If manually operating fans, growers should

NEWS

Beatrice Hawkins

Celebrating the rain... It’s rained!! I’ve had the mower out and cut my grass! Oh how I enjoyed doing that and now, with the forecast of more rain to come, I am planting runners in the patches laid bare by the dry. How quickly the landscape is transformed with the addition of a few days of good rain. Over the 10 day period I recorded in excess of 100 ml. I know there were heavier and lighter recordings in various parts of our region but overall it was really worthwhile and gratefully received. Certainly not enough to break the drought or fill our water storages, however, we hope the forecasters have it right and we will receive more to follow up shortly. I can hear storms birds calling each morning and evening so maybe they know something we don’t. I hadn’t heard them for quite some time until shortly before this rain. Unfortunately, as is often the case, there is a down side and harvesting has been delayed in some areas and the quality of the crops downgraded. What a gamble farming is and how grateful we should be that there are people out there who are willing to take the risk and produce the ingredients that grace our tables each day. Recently I visited a garden that showed just what can be done when you have access to a secure water supply. The extensive vegetable garden supplied the needs of three families with a surplus to be shared with friends and neighbours. There is nothing quite like the taste of freshly pulled carrots. When I was first married carrots were always sold in bunches with their tops still on and the flavour was so much better

The pomegranate is an ancient fruit which has come into vogue in more recent times... than the ones available today. I had someone ask me recently was it worth growing vegetables as they can be purchased so conveniently and cheaply from stores. They obviously had never been gardeners and tasted the difference between freshly picked produce and that of vegetables and fruit that, even given the best efforts of commercial growers, is often many days old by the time it reaches the point of sale. We are so fortunate in this country with our diverse climate regions, that we can have a wide range of produce all year round. With cold store and transport, seasonality has become a thing of the past. With a home garden however, this is restored, and vegetables and fruit in your own area is once again governed by the seasons and the flavour of freshly picked, seasonal, produce is something to be relished.

I have also seen pomegranates in flower in many places lately. Almost everywhere I have lived, from coastal areas to tablelands and western plains, I have known the beauty of these hardy shrubs. The fruit is cultivated commercially now when earlier it was only grown as a decorative garden ornamental covered in bright red flowers in late spring and summer, followed by the interesting and child attracting red fruit! They seem to be very easy to grow and the dwarf varieties available lend themselves to large pots and would be a great addition to any landscape. They are not fussy to soil type apparently and will grow in heavy clay or light sandy soil in full sun. They like water in the spring but are very dry tolerant and can even tolerate wet feet occasionally! Like most plants they do prefer good conditions and thrive on a yearly application of well rotted animal manure or compost. Pruning in winter will help keep them in shape but as they produce fruit on old

wood, don’t go to hard. The fruit has become trendy lately with the seeds traditionally used as a garnish in a variety of Middle Eastern recipes and the juice available in many refrigeration sections of supermarkets. The juice can be made into a sweet syrup called grenadine that is used to flavour drinks, cakes, ice cream and baked apples. The seeds are also dried and used as a flavouring. As long as they are protected from late frosts, when the fresh growth is evident, they are extremely cold tolerant and actually require cold winters to produce fruit. Conversely they like long, hot and dry summers. The fruit improves in flavour after picking but be sure to remove all the skin when using as it is tough, dry and bitter. The flowers and rind are used as a red dye and, from experience with children getting it on their clothes, is a very good and permanent colour! While its name, punica granatum, translates as “seeded apple” it is in fact a true berry! Complicated plant with an identity crisis!! It is one of the oldest cultivated fruit trees in the world and can be traced back to the 7th century BC. It is mentioned many times in the Bible and Greek mythology. As it appears to be so easy to grow, is so decorative with its bright green, glossy leaves in spring, bright red flowers in late spring and summer followed by the interesting fruit that take 5 to 7 months to mature, it is a shrub that deserves a spot, providing continuing interest, in most gardens. A plant for all seasons and reasons!!

The Spin

SPORT

Casey O’Connor

Sport, not as we know it The clock is counting down to Melbourne Cup 2020 as Spin is being finalised and what a different Cup we have. Not surprising I suppose as everything in 2020 is different and unusual has become the new norm. I am however disappointed that Racing Victoria has taken the stance to lock owners out of Flemington on Cup Day. As Melbourne and Victoria come out of lockdown Mark II, I am finding it hard to fathom that a venue the size of Flemington racecourse, on the day of one of the most famous races in the world could not accommodate handful of owners without posing a great risk. Clearly I am no medical expert but really - I reckon the connections of this afternoon’s winner will be pretty disappointed (putting it very politely) not to be able to their winner in through the Flemington roses. Anyway rules are rules, but around 3.15 (daylight saving time) there will certainly be a really big party kicking off somewhere. I am hoping it will be the connections of Sir Dragonet who are popping the champagne corks. We go from the champagne event of the racing world on Tuesday to the one of the pinnacles of Australian Rugby League when Round One of the State of Origin kicks off in Adelaide. Whoa - Adelaide - seriously the world has gone barking mad. The AFL GF comes to Queensland - a resounding success but after Queensland provided the NRL with a safe haven for many in the 2020 season Qld NRL fans are rewarded with Game One in Adelaide. Someone please explain. I somehow think 2020 is not the time to be taking the game to somewhere foreign in the hope of converting some of the AFL diehards. I think the NRL should be more concerned that some of the NRL diehards have a real taste for AFL after the spectacle that was their GF. Just saying. Of course, Blue’s fans have already staked their claim to the trophy in 2020 not giving the Maroons a show. After last week’s national Anthem kerfuffle - no we won’t sing/ now / yes we will, can you believe those cheeky NSW Cockroaches have released a Blue’s anthem. Well it’s a song and I’m pretty sure any self- respecting Cockroach would be embarrassed to sing it. Again what would I know? We Queenslanders don’t need an anthem. Thanks to Billy Moore we have our own call to arms - QUEENSLANDER Lots of parallels have being drawn between Fatty Vautin’s legendary 1995 Maroon team of No Names and the 2020 Maroons. I’m sticking solid with this Maroon group who if they can emulate the No Names might just be Wayne’s Whiz Kids. They certainly are not be easy beats. By the time you open this edition, if either Sir Dragonet, Verry Ellegant or Anthony Van Dyck have saluted the judge in the Cup and there has been a Canetoad invasion in Adelaide one thing you can bet on is that a champagne cork or two has been popped in the Spin circles. -Casey PS - If you find a winner on Cup Day and are looking to reinvest I don’t think you could go too far wrong with Personal in the VRC Oaks.

UNITED RECOGNISED WITH PRESTIGEOUS AWARD Players and officials from Stanthorpe United Redbacks a little stunned when they were announced as winners of the prestigious “2020 Team of the Year” award at the Football Toowoomba awards dinner last Friday night. What made the Award so special was the uniqueness of the nomination. Stanthorpe United were nominated by their peers, Willowburn who recognise and appreciate the commitment Stanthorpe United have shown to the 2020 competition. Each weekend the teams

A Rogaine event, a new sport to the Southern Downs area will be held in the challenging conditions of Girraween National Park this weekend. travels and have built a reputation as a group who play with great spirit and sportsmanship. Football Queensland CEO Robert Cavallucci congratulated Stanthorpe United on their foresight to nominate teams in the Toowoomba competition once Football Stanthorpe cancelled the local competition. It is a decision that has created a pathway for players in the Southern Downs to play at a higher next level - an opportunity that may have been missed but for the vision of the Stanthorpe United committee and the commitment of those players. Congratulations to all those involved.

CONDITIONS UNCERTAIN Spring is certainly living up to its reputation for uncertain weather. In the past weeks we have received welcome rain but we can certainly do without the frozen lumpy variety. The Stanthorpe Bowls club was forced to cancel their normal Wednesday competition due to the storm but despite some dire predictions for Saturday, playing conditions were excellent. The first of the Club selected three bowl triples competition were decided. The club also held a social game of triples and one game of pairs. In the competition triples the team of Bruno Stefanon, Helen Jones and Frank Gallo held on for a narrow win in their game against Val White Jack Bell and Brian Brown. The final score 20-17. Ernie Jones and Dot Rankin outscored their opponents Gordon Gallaway and Ray Rankin in the pairs game. All Players found the wind affected conditions testing. Mark Wicks Robyn Rose and Len Girgenti proved too strong for M Wicks Luisa Girgenti and David Rose in the social triples. A reminder that Twilight bowls begin on 12 November and judging by the number of inquiries it will be a fun family even all for the cost of $2 per person. Bowls and tuition will be provided. Flat soled shoes must be worn or play barefoot if you prefer. Games will commence at 6.30pm with a finish time of till 8.30 pm. For further information or to book your spot please contact Len Girgenti on 46811276 between 5.30pm and 6 pm on the day and confirm your booking. The club wishes to thank sponsor MWF. Plumbing for their continuing support.

FINALLY A FINAL After a couple of weeks of interruptions and wet bowls thanks to the rain, the skies cleared and conditions improved on Saturday allowing the finals of the Club Fours to finally be played at the Warwick Bowls Club. The team of T Owens [sub for T Prichard] R Tartan, J Ruhle, E Welsh trailed up until the 12th end before they began to apply pressure ton their opponents, T Gallagher, R Bean, C Thurgate and J

Rickard. Edwin Welsh’s team played well at the back end of the game and came away with the championship winning 20-15. The Championship Pairs is the next competition and is scheduled for 14 November. Nominations close this. Saturday so be sure to get your names if you are planning to play. Apparently John has not been overwhelmed with registrations to date.

PAIRS FINAL DOWN TO THE WIRE The final of the Summit Men’s pairs was played last weekend. The final between the team of Cliff Jones and Tyler Sweeney and the pairing of Keith Mungall and Tony Shubert competitive final it was t. At the end of a very competitive final it was honours to Jones and Sweeney. Three games were played on Saturday morning with the following results. Brian Brown and Rob Capelli defeated Ray Spiller and Brian Wilmot 18-13. Kurt Empen and Jamie Zamprogno had an 18-12 win over John Fairley and Michael Sweeney and Terry Keegan and Paul Zamprogno had a 19-18 win against Phil Davis and Graeme Warner in a very tight game. In the quarter finals Keith Mungall and Tony Shubert 26 defeated Terry Keegan and Paul Zamprogno 26-12. Cliff Jones and Tony Schubert had a 14-10 win against John Graham and Rod Newlands. Kurt Empen and Jamie Zamprogno went head to head with Carl Sutherland and Peter Ayerst scoring a 16-10 win while - Brian Brown and Rob Capelli

proved too strong for Rocky Thompson and Lindsay Hartley. The final score 27-7. The semi-finals were played on Sunday morning and a strong wind made conditions challenging. The first semi Keith Mungall and Tony Schubert played Brian Brown and Rob Capelli. It was an intriguing game which was forced into an extra end after Rob Capelli played a great bowl to score a five and tie the scores 20 all. Keith and Tony regrouped and scored a five on the extra win their place into the final with a score of 25 - 20. In the second semi Cliff Jones and Tyler Sweeney had little difficulty despatching their opponents Kurt Empen and Jamie Zamprogno with a final score of 27-12. The final was another tight affair with the scores and plays close throughout the game. Jones and Sweeney and Tyler scored a three on the twentieth end to grab a 17 to 16 advantage. On the final end Mungall and Schubert held two shots and the game until Tyler Sweeney sat his bowl on their shot bowls to score a single with it an 18-16 win in a game worthy of final’s honours. 18 bowlers were on the green for a social game on Saturday afternoon.

ROGAINE EVENT AT GIRRAWEEN Many people across the Southern Downs are familiar with the Sport of Orienteering however this weekend more than 200 people from throughout South East Queensland are heading to the Granite Belt weekend to take part in a Rogaine in Girraween National Park this Saturday (Nov 7). For those of you, who like myself are unfamiliar with the sport, one of the organisers of this weekend’s event, Peter Blyton, explained Rogaining is the sport of long distance, crosscountry navigation. It typically involves teams of two to five people and was initially developed in Australia in the1970’s. It has since spread internationally and a World Championship event is now held annually. Closer to home a wide range of Rogaine events are provided locally by the not-for-profit Queensland Rogaine Association (https:// qldrogaine.asn.au) “The aim of Rogaining is to locate checkpoints (controls) on natural features such as watercoursejunctions or the tops of hills, using a map and compass. These controls are given different point values, with competitors aiming to try and get as many points as possible in the time available,” he said. “True Rogaines are held over 24 hours but there are also shorter events offered.” Continued next page Thursday, 5 November, 2020 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES 29

SPORT FreeTimes.com.au

The Spin From previous page “The main event at Girraween will take place over a 6 hour period but there will also be a 3 hour event being offered for those people seeking to be out for a shorter time. There will also be various classes covering men’s, women’s and mixed teams as well as different age categories, so it is truly a sport for everyone.” “Girraween national park has some spectacular granite,” Mr Blyton said. “I am sure the competitors in the Rogaine will really enjoy the navigational challenges that we have set for them as well as the magnificent scenery that this area has to offer.” The Rogaine will be based at the Girraween Environmental Lodge who are providing camping and parking facilities for participants. The organisers of the Rogaine would like to thank the owners of the Lodge for their support of the event. The course will see competitors explore many of the amazing parts of Girraween National Park. On the Sunday, for those looking for a further challenge there will be a “Cyclegaine” being held in the northern part of the Granite Belt. A Cyclegaine is similar to a Rogaine, but with competitors on bicycle. Organiser of this event, David Firman, said that this was also a team competition with both a three and six hour event available. “More than 100 cyclists have entered for this event which will take place along roads and tracks through farming country and plantation forests,” Firman said. “It will be a great way for competitors to explore another part of the Granite Belt and to enjoy the diverse scenery that the region has to offer.” If you wish to know more about the events this weekend please contact Peter Blyton on 0448 735 319, or peter.j.blyton@gmail.com for further information.

EARLY BIRDS DODGE THE RAIN Wednesday (28 October) as the weather and storms closed the small field of Ladies out on the Warwick Golf course were relieved to have made it back to the club house before the first storm hit. An early tee off definitely turned out to be a blessing. I have heard reports that unfortunately Marge and Tracey were not quite so lucky and were caught in the rain. One group of four afternoon ladies headed out just after 11.30am and after three holes made it to the shed on the 13th as the first storm struck. As luck would have it they were able to shelter there when with only three holes remaining to play the second storm arrived. The Wednesday winner came from the morning group. Congratulations to Kath Devereux, her score - 38 points. The runner-up, Mary Young (35 points) from the afternoon group, survived a count back relegating Mel McLennan to the rundown. Thanks to the sponsors The Cherry Tree Coffee and Dining who have been a tremendous sponsor for Ladies Golf this year. Balls in the rundown went to Mel McLennan and Gwen Mills (35pts), Di Macdonald (34pts) and Judy Lester (33pts). The extra balls went to Tub Ingall, Lyn Gibson and Ann Tomkins (32pts) and Judy Stiff (31pts). Unfortunately due to the Storms three players, Janet Olsen (visitor), Tracey Farrell and Marge Burley did not get a chance to finish their round. There were some eye catching performances during the round. Mel McLennan scored a birdie at the seventh and Ann Tomkins on 16. There were also a couple of gobbles - Mary and Roslyn both on the second. With the proposed Halloween day postponed due to weather forecast, 23 ladies braved the course to play for the Kentucky Fried Chicken Single Stableford. The clouds were supposed to get nasty, but the forecasters got their predictions wrong and luckily for the golfers the nasty conditions did not eventuate Tub Ingall blitzed the field scoring 42 points, to take home the KFC Voucher of the day. Melanie McLennan also had a good round securing the runner up podium finish. Her score 38 points. Balls in the rundown went to Gwen Mills (34), Louise Carey, Anne Lyons, and Patricia Eastwell (32pts). The extra balls went to 30 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES Thursday, 5 November, 2020

Players who have not been able to make it onto the Shoot in the Red Rooster Single Stableford. As Shootout is fast approaching, Vicki is keen to get shirt sizes. Players are asked to add their details to the list in the ladies’ restroom as soon as possible.

damp stuff it seems that it always falls at an inconvenient moment for sportsmen. Last Wednesday (28 October) the Warwick Sporters were among a number of sports to be inconvenienced. 55 players headed out on course in an attempt to play the Warwick Hotel Sporters day unfortunately only 40 players finished the course as torrential rain and hail hit around 12.30 and then again at 3.00pm. Dan “Tiger” Lyons was in good form finishing with a 39 points to give him a comfortable win ahead of runner up Doug Rickert (36 points). Featuring in the ball rundown, were club captain Tony Kahler showing some form with 36, John Kemp from Gainsborough Greens Golf Club, Eddy Raets and Michael Payne (35) and Greg Wallace, Keith Clarke and Darrell Bain (34). Nearest the pins went to Greg Wallace on five and nine; Gary Russell-Sharam (7) and David Speedy (16). “Super Coach” Phil Economidis collected the four balls for the pro pin on 11. “Wave Watcher” Mal Crawford picked up three balls, John Kemp two and Doug Wilson one ball. At the pro pin on 13, Peter Balfour claimed three balls, Neville Heard two and Greg Wallace one ball. The rain is most welcome; however, it would have been more convenient for golfers if it had rained during the night. It was certainly a case of damp inside and out with lots of quite damp bodies in the clubhouse after the game, but you can’t bargain with nature. The course has benefited greatly from the deluge and is looking a picture. There were some glowing reports from the visiting assistant pros who played the Pro Am on Monday. There were also plenty of similar reports from the 120 Order of Merit players that played on the Tuesday. Hats off to the green staff and the dedicated band of volunteers who worked so hard to produce a great course for the visitors and regulars. The Sporters words of wisdom and thought for the week, “Persistence is the mother of miracles and half of achievement”.

UNITED CELEBRATE WIN AND GF BERTH There was plenty of excitement as the Stanthorpe United Redbacks bounced back from their loss the previous week to defeat Willowburn one-nil in the major semi-final played at Gatton on Sunday. The win was even more impressive as United’s goalkeeper, Jamie Carnell was controversially sent from the field 25 minutes into the game after an incident with a Willowburn striker. Despite the disruption to the line-up, replacement keeper Josh Crestani had an immediate impact executing an incredible save with his first touch after a Willowburn penalty. Crestani went on to defuse several Willowburn attacks in the next 25 minutes and ensured United went to the break with a 1-0 lead. In the second half despite being a player down, United continued their dominance brushing aside the hot and blustery conditions. Hunter Murphy and Simon Mascardi both had shots that hit the post and were unlucky not to put the game to bed earlier in the second half. In the end it did not matter, the Redbacks coming away with an important win. The United players and supporters delighted to hear the sweet sound of the final whistle as they booked their place in the grand final of the Toowoomba Men’s Premier League in two weeks. United’s Steve McEvoy said after the game that it was simply too difficult to pick a player of the match. The result of the game, McEvoy said was due to the hard work and commitment of the whole squad and that is how the players would want it. In the final analysis of the game it was a wholehearted whole of squad effort that has got the team to the grandfinal. While there were plenty to celebrate the Redbacks know the job is not yet complete they have two weeks now to prepare and plan for the big game to be played at Stadium Toowoomba on Sunday week at 3pm. United would like to send a special shout out and thank you to Josh Musumeci and Jason and Andrew Traplin who organised to stream the game live for the many supporters who were unable to get to the game.

RAIN RAIN - BUT WHY NOW There was a recurring theme for any sport played last Wednesday across the Southern Downs - rain dammed rain. Much as we all have been grateful to seen the return of the

VETS PUT ON A SHOW It was hard to tell if there was more fun on or off the green at the Southern Cross Bowls club last week as the Super Vets players from Warwick, Warwick East, Tannymorel, Tenterfield and the host club, Southern Cross put on a Super show. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks and from what I hear that is correct because this group knew them all. The club held a Come and Try Day on Saturday and it was a terrific opportunity for beginners to see what lawn bowls is all about and what it is like to play. The Lawn Bowls Party was voted a winner again, showing how easy it is to pick up the ball and play the game. Liam Holland, Joe Torrisi and Wayne Foster showed how to score big, winning free games for life or one week (whichever comes first). Today, Thursday (5 November), the Ladies are hosting Social Mixed Bowls which commence at 1pm. Everyone, including including beginners are welcome (bowls supplied if required). This Saturday (7 November), the “Old Crazy” will be at it again, running his very popular format of social bowls starting at 1pm. Again

Several visiting golfers joined the local players in last Saturdays Stableford. One of those was Jack Pearson from the GenY social club. Playing off a handicap of 26, Pearson returned a winning score of 43 points. Unfortunately he was ineligible for the club trophy which went to Slim Eldridge with another great score of 42 points. The pair was well clear of runner up Eddy Raets on 37 points. Next best also on 37 points was Gainsborough Greens visitor John Kemp who has been playing some good golf during his two week visit to Warwick. 69 players contested the event and the run down saw those previously mentioned get balls along with Jamie Ollerton and Don Warrener and Chase Longley who each returned 36 points. Collecting balls for their pin shots were Cameron Strachan (5th), Simon MacDonald (7th), Brodie Quirk (11th) and Mal Galloway (16th). Wayne Watt won four balls at the pro pin, Peter Farrell three. Eddy Raets and Ted King each collected two balls and the last ball went the way of Brodie Quirk. A reminder to all golfers that the Four Person Ambrose sponsored by the National Bank and Agribusiness is next Sunday. This is always a popular day on the Warwick calendar and this Mercantile Day event has trophies for best nett scores and a generous run down. It is a shotgun start at 12.00 noon and nominations should be in to the starter no later than 11.30am.

SMALL FIELD MIDWEEK With the threat of severe storms brewing only a small field teed off in the Stanthorpe RSL Ladies midweek golf competition last week. It was touch and go whether the small field would be playing the single Stableford or heading off for coffee. Fortunately the ladies finished the round just as the rain began. It was perfect timing. Well played Helen Jones who won the competition with a score of 30 points. Runner up was Mai Bell, her score 28 points.

RAWLINGS NAILS A WIN Sporters played the front nine last Sunday and the winner with a nett return of 21 was John Rawlings. Over the past few weeks Rawlings has been close to the winner’s circle and finally nailed a victory last week. Good work also on the bookwork as John also had the pleasure of cutting his own handicap. (Ouch) Norm Steele picked up the runner up prize with a well compiled nett 29 and it looks like it won’t be too long before we see him back in the winner’s chair. Paul Armstrong had the lowest gross round, needing 42 for the nine holes. At the opposite end of the scale, Angelo Maugeri was awarded the chip packet. Unfortunately Angelo had to leave soon after play, so the rest of the group enjoyed the spoils. Sporters next Sunday, play on the back nine with competition to start at 7.30 am. The weather is very pleasant weather at that time of the morning and there is an open invitation to all who would like to join the group. Last Sunday, as the Stanthorpe Sporters golfers assembled before play the thoughts and best wishes of the group turned to Sporters President Ray Thorn and his family following the recent loss of much loved wife and family member Pat after her short battle against cancer. Ray, times might now be tough but the golfing tribe stand by your side and send you their best wishes at this difficult time.

TO BE SURE TO BE SURE - ‘TWAS ALL IRISH A good field hit the course for the team Irish

Jess Barnett and Nick Spence - two Golden Boot winners at the Toowoomba Football League Gala. Noah Dwan - Winner of the Under 16/17 Golden Boot was not present for the pic - congratulations to the winners. Stableford played in Stanthorpe last Saturday. In this competition players multiply their points scored on each hole with their partner’s points for a total on each hole. The onerous task of scoring on each hole to complement their partner’s points took its toll on the final scores in many cases. Points totalling six and less was the norm for the day and no team managed to score greater than a nine on a hole all day. The team of Barry Jones and Matt Burgess was one team that managed to record two nine pointers. Their final score of 65 points was good enough to land them in first place. After a mediocre front nine of 26 points, the pair combined for 39 points on the back nine and that could have been even but for two washouts. Filling the Runner’s up stall was the team of Keith and Helen Jones with 61 points. They scored well on the front nine (37 points) but fell short of the final score with only 24 points on the back nine. Earning honourable mention in the run down were the teams of Ron Batterham and Scott Constable (57 points), Mick O’Brien and Jason Bacon (53 points) who earned tickets for their efforts. The day was sponsored by club member, Max Hunter, and we thank him for providing the trophies on the day and being on hand to present the winners with their prizes. Hard not to make special mention of one team who managed 18 points on their front nine and only another nine on the back nine. Six of those points recorded on one hole. I am reliably informed that although disappointed with their score, they are still on speaking terms and there has been no blood-letting. This Saturday play November monthly medal and putting contest. Sponsoring of the first medal event of the new season are one of the club’s long term sponsors, Howard and Adele Poole of Poole’s Produce. In conjunction with the November Medal event, the Medal of Medallists final will be decided as the twelve men’s and ladies’ winners of last season’s medal events play off in a final event. The men will be playing for the Roy Carnell Memorial trophy which is sponsored by the Carnell family and the ladies event is sponsored by Tom and Trish Fittock. Best of luck to all involved.

WOLVES HOWLING WITH JOY Not only did all three of the Warwick Wolves football teams qualified for the finals two of the pack received awards at the Toowoomba Football League Senior Teams Gala.

STRONG PERFORMANCE FROM RSL Friday night conditions on the CF White Oval improved enough to allow for the rescheduled round two game between Wanderers and RSL to go ahead. Batting first RSL got off to a good start with Sam Dowie picking up from where he left off in his opening game of the new season. Dowie and opening partner Tom Garland pushed the score along to 47 before Brendan Barker and Andrew Einam combined to dismiss him for 23. Only a few balls later Barker had his second scalp when keeper John Halford stumped incoming batsman, Neil Perritt for just one run. Wil Dowie smacked 13 from 13 before he found himself back in the sheds caught by Brock Patti off the bowling of Barry Bulow. Garland meanwhile who was scoring steadily at the other end was joined by youngster Rohan Brady. Garland (85) was settled and the seeing the ball well when Halford had him caught off the bowling of Tim Harslett him midway through the 22nd over. The score with the fall of the wicket 4/135. Rohan Brady was joined at the crease by his father Luke. With 13 over remaining the senior Brady smacked 34 from 36 deliveries faced while the younger Brady played his part remaining not out 11. At the close of the innings RSL were 4/182 giving Wanderers a target to chase. Things did not begin well for Wanderers. Opener Bulow was dismissed for a duck on the last ball of the first over thanks to some good work by another promising young bowler Noah Mackenzie and the safe hands of Sam Dowie. With the score at 1/1 Wanderers needed a big innings from their experienced opener Tim Harslett but when he was dismissed for 11 things did not auger well for the team. The RSL bowling attack looked to be in command as wickets fell steadily. Brendan Barker and John Halford came together with the score at 5/44 and Wanderers desperately in need of a solid partnership. The pair added 23 valuable runs before Perritt took a catch off the bowling of Sam Dowie to dismiss Barker (26). The score 6/78. Halford was remained solid but the experienced RSL bowlers moved in dismissing the tail cheaply to score a convincing win. Wan-

derers 9/99. Halford remained not out 20. RSL Bowing honours were evenly shared with Garland Dowie and Lawer each taking a pair. Anthony di Bella and youngsters Ryan Hines and Noah Mackenzie each took a wicket.

CAREER BEST BOWLING THE DIFFERENCE After claiming a win on Friday night RSL found themselves backing up on Saturday afternoon against South’s who were chasing their first win of the season. Batting first on the CF White turf South’s got away to a good start. Openers Ben Staley and Mark Lanza put together an opening partnership of 51 before Lanza (22) was caught by Duane Lihou off the bowling of Luke Brady. Dismiss one Lanza in the South’s line and you find another taking his place. The pair took the score to 129 before Luke Brady had his second wicket - Lanza (36) caught DiBella. The score had moved along to 129 before Anthony DiBella and Luke Brady combined to dismiss Staley for 55 midway through the 28th over. Harry Williams added 11 from 13 balls before Di Bella had his third wicket and Jackson Haynes took a nice catch. Danny Folkers was the best of the South’s tail adding a valuable 19 runs from only 16 deliveries before falling to the combination of Luke Brady and Tom Garland. At the end of the 40 overs South’s were 8/187 and RSL had a run chase on their hands. RSL supporters were hoping to see their openers pick up from where they left off on Friday night. While Sam Dowie was as consistent, Tom Garland (13) found his stumps rattled in the fourth over by Liam Lanza. The score 1/41. Dowie and Luke Brady took the score to 58 before Dowie was dismissed for 35 caught Smith off the bowling of Jordan Lanza. Brady who came in first drop anchored the RSL innings. Unfortunately for RSL, the South’s bowlers hit a sweet spot and although Brady continued to score steadily his partners fell by the wayside. He was dismissed for 78 in the 34th over caught by Singh off the bowling of Cameron. With the score at 6/163 and only the tail remaining the result looked predictable. RSL were all out in the 37th over for 176. Alexander Cameron bowled beautifully throughout the innings and finished with career best figures of 6/31 from his eight over spell setting up South’s win. In round four this weekend RSL play Tenterfield at Sheehan Oval and Wanderers take on Valleys at CF White and South’s have this weekend’s bye.
