Harvest call-out By Jess Baker Despite generous cash incentives and increasing unemployment, Granite Belt growers are still desperate for help this picking season - and for locals, joining the ‘Harvest Army’ could provide an income as well as an adventure. A recent study conducted by Ernst and Young warns a shortage of workers between now and mid next year will range from 36 to 59 percent, peaking in March 2021 at 20,000 to 26,000 unfilled roles.

Growcom’s Manager of Policy and Advocacy Richard Shannon said labour shortages due to Covid-19 international travel restrictions could have dire effects on the community. “(Queensland) growers are leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars in the fields to rot because they don’t have the labour they need to harvest,” he said. “Individual businesses are in jeopardy, which risks reducing wealth in regional centres and local economies.” Richard said there is also a strong chance the price of fruit and vegetables will increase if

Covid-19 travel restrictions are not soon eased. The worker deficit predicted by Ernst and Young assumes the reopening date of international borders will be in March 2021, but Richard said he believes that expectation is “too optimistic”. This means labour gaps could potentially be much longer and of higher magnitude. “We’re not expecting international travel to start again in any real way for over a year,” he said. Queensland farms rely heavily on back-

packers and workers from the Pacific Islands in ordinary times, but most returned home this year to wait out the pandemic. To address the labour shortfall, the Government is cooperating with participating Pacific countries and Timor-Leste to enable Pacific labour mobility initiatives to recommence in a Covid-safe way. Four charter flights of seasonal workers from the Pacific Islands have been approved to trial a new version of the Seasonal Worker Programme that allows workers to quarantine on-farm.

Rural crews on standby At time of printing of the Free Times this week rural fire crews were monitoring containment lines around a bushfire at Nundubbermere south-west of Stanthorpe, as hot and dry conditions set in for the week across the Southern Downs and Granite Belt regions. The Nundubbermere fire - in the vicinity of Winkler Road - did not pose any immediate threat to property with residents in the area warned last Sunday to remain on alert for the possibility of evacuation or activation of their bushfire survival plans. The fire was also attended by water-bombing aircraft - both fixed-wing and helicopter - under the direction of Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES). There was a report on Monday of a tree having fallen on a Rural Fire Service vehicle but there was no report of any injuries to any crew member. The weather outlook for the remainder of this week and into the weekend is for possible showers and a storm tomorrow, Friday, and hot and partly cloudy conditions over the weekend and into the early part of next week. At time of printing this week no fire bans were in place for the Southern Downs and Granite Belt regions but the hot and extremely dry conditions mean the bushfire risk will remain at a high level ongoing. The risk of lightning strikes from storm activity - particularly ‘dry storms’ remains heightened in the current conditions.Updates will be posted on the Free Times website - and any further bushfire bulletins - at www.freetimes.com.au and on the Free Times on Facebook. Bushfire alerts are also available at QFES on Facebook (@QldFireandEmergencyServices) and Twitter (@ QldFES). In the meantime residents in rural and bushland areas across the Free Times readership area are strongly advised to review - and as necessary update - their Bushfire Survival Plan and to exercise care when undertaking activities such as working with power tools outdoors. For more information on the latest fire risk

warnings and how to prepare a Bushfire Survival Plan visit - www.ruralfire.qld.gov.au In the event of a bushfire in your locality the QFES advises Listen to your local radio station or visit the Rural Fire Service (RFS) website for regular updates. If you have a bushfire survival plan, be ready to follow it. If you do not have a bushfire survival plan, or if your plan is to leave, identify where you will go if the situation changes. Close windows and doors to minimise smoke exposure. If you suffer from a respiratory condition, keep your medication close by. Drive with caution in low visibility conditions. Contact your neighbours to see if they need help preparing for the bushfire. Consider finding your essential items (e.g., identification documents, prescription medication, food and water, and protective clothing such as a long-sleeved cotton shirt and trousers, and boots) in case you need to leave. Consider what you will do to protect your pets and livestock. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Advise family and friends of your intended actions if the situation changes.

We’ve been reminded this week of the ever-present risk of bushfires with crews responding to a fire at Nundubbermere south-west of Stanthorpe last weekend at remaining on stand-by to monitor containment measures. Aerial waterbombing responses were also activated, and as always the community remains grateful particularly for the dedication of our volunteer rural fire crews. It is always important to bear in mind that these personnel put their own safety on the line during bushfire response, and depending on where they live their own homes and properties can be at risk as well as the others they are working to protect. Memories of the 2019 bushfires - and especially the damage wrought in the wider Stanthorpe area - are still far too recent. The hot and dry conditions we are currently experiencing are very similar to last year and the overall bushfire risk across the region is likely to remain at an extreme level for the duration of summer. It is all too easy to forget just how rapidly the path of a bushfire can both change and increase in speed, sometimes within a matter of minutes. On a different note, I’m really pleased to welcome a new journalist to the Free Times team this week. Jess Baker has joined us as a cadet and has already well and truly hit the ground running. Jess will be covering all aspects of local news including the Granite Belt region, our rural sector, council and community events, so please make her welcome when you see her out and about in the coming weeks and months. Jess will be a tremendous asset to our publication, which continues to show strong growth and that’s down to the wonderful support the Free Times is receiving from both readers and advertisers. For that we thank you.

Water ‘alliance’ formed Five Queensland councils and one New South Wales Shire this week took what they say are “the first steps to form a water alliance”. The inaugural meeting of the water alliance was attended by representatives of Toowoomba Regional Council, Western Downs Regional Council, Southern Downs Regional Council, the Goondiwindi Regional Council, Lockyer Valley Regional Council and Tenterfield Shire Council in New South Wales. In a statement released on Tuesday of this week on behalf of the ‘alliance’ Toowoomba Regional Council Mayor Paul Antonio said industry “is telling us that water infrastructure is critical to future growth in this region”. “The new alliance will purely focus on water security for the Southern Inland Queensland and New South Wales Border Region,” Cr Antonio said. “The inaugural meeting agreed that the priority for the group was the mapping of our current water situation and potential future options. “The initial desktop analysis would then lead to developing a list of priority projects that the alliance could pursue on a needs basis. “We need to know where we are before we know where our water future progresses to.” Cr Antonio said cross border issues “that exclude inter-state water sharing needed to be addressed”. “Future meetings would include discussions with those in a position to find water security solutions for problems that straddled both sides of the border,” he said. “We would welcome other Councils from both sides of the border to become involved in the new alliance - the larger our group, the stronger our voice.”

Mayor Paul Antonio (Toowoomba Regional Council), Mayor Paul Petty (Tenterfield Shire Council), Cr Rick Kearney (Goondiwindi Regional Council), Mayor Lawrence Springborg (Goondiwindi Regional Council), Mayor Vic Pennisi (Southern Downs Regional Council), and Mayor Paul McVeigh (Western Downs Regional Council). Mayor Tanya Milligan (Lockyer Valley Regional Council) was unable to attend but was represented at the meeting. Cr Antonio said the agreed vision of the group was “winning new water to provide for generational urban, rural and industrial outcomes and economic growth to 2150 and beyond”. “Water security is a national issue, and the new alliance would work together to tackle it at a regional level,” he said. “Improved water security would be a significant driver of regional growth and potential economic activity, particularly from private sector investment. “The broader region of the Darling Downs

and Northern New South Wales is suffering through lack of long-term water security options. “We believe that further investment in water security by all levels of government at a regional level is vital to seize the wealth of opportunity before us. “Regional water security would help realise substantial growth opportunities for the Darling Downs and Northern New South Wales through accelerated development in agriculture, value-added product, advanced manufacturing and alternative energy options.

“The alliance aims to work together on regional water security solutions and deliver real projects that make a real difference.” While the Queensland Budget for 20202021 was handed down on Tuesday of this week there was no reference to funding for a water pipeline from Toowoomba to Warwick announced by Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk in January of this year. A confidential State Government business case on the pipeline is understood to be under review by the Southern Downs Regional Council.

Granite Belt producers send out call to ‘join Army’ From page 1 Queensland welcomed 151 Tongan program participants to Emerald on 29 October after the Northern Territory’s pilot program saw 323 workers arrive from Vanuatu. Richard Shannon said while there were reports of initial interest from local workers, little has eventuated. This comes despite an increase in Australia’s unemployment rate from 6.9 percent in September to 7 percent in October and a surge in the proportion of people looking for work. To encourage eligible Queenslanders to meet the shortage demands, the state government has introduced a ‘Back to Work in Agriculture Incentive Scheme’, which includes payments of up to $1500 to assist with transport costs and accommodation for employees travelling and staying in remote locations. As of 1 November, $6000 incentives are available to cover relocation costs for Australian citizens and $2000 for migrant workers. Temporary changes have also been

made to Youth Allowance and ABSTUDY requirements, so young people engaging in farm work can access the payments more easily. Richard, along with Queensland’s farmers, is holding out hope that school and university students will be the help farmers desperately need over the summer holidays. “Working on the farms is a great time in a lot of these people’s lives,” he said. “It’s a bit of an adventure and it’s very rewarding.” BEST Harvest Trail is a specialist harvest recruitment agency based in Stanthorpe that offers a free service to farmers, growers and producers across Southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales. A spokesperson for the organisation, Kate Ottewell, said that while there are currently more jobs than jobseekers, the community is used to facing challenges. “If it’s not the drought or bushfires, it’s a pandemic and jobseeker shortages,” Kate said.

“Our community is resilient and like everything else, we will make it through this challenge too.” The agency is promoting another relocation scheme, Relocation Assistance to Take Up a Job (RATTUAJ), that helps people with the cost of moving to farming areas. It aims to remove the financial barriers that can prevent people relocating. “It is going to be a great help to both the workers that will be able to come when we have jobs for them, and to the farmers to fill jobs,” she said. Applethorpe strawberry and apple grower Nathan Baronio is one of many local farmers feeling the impacts of the labour gap. His operation, Eastern Colour, currently has 120 people picking and packing fruit. In a matter of days, that number will have to increase to 160 for the workload to remain somewhat manageable. “We’re about 35 to 40 people short at the moment,” Nathan said. “The summer season peaks in March so

the losses we’re seeing now are just the tip of the iceberg.” To minimise the amount of fruit lost, Eastern Colour has decided to open the farm to the public. People can visit on Sundays to pick their own strawberries straight from the plant for just $5 per kilogram. “We’d love for anyone who’s keen to come out to the farm, enjoy the sunshine and pick some strawberries,” Nathan said. JOIN THE ‘ARMY’... For information about joining the Eastern Colour team, or about attending ‘Pick Your Own Strawberries’ Sundays, visit the farm’s Facebook.

The Free Times is delighted to welcome our new journalist JESS BAKER who commenced with us this week - and she has well and truly hit the ground running. Jess will soon become a familiar face as she moves around the region covering all aspects of local news and events and we’re sure the community will extend Jess a warm welcome, as does the Free Times team!

A new face I was 12 years old when I decided I wanted to be a journalist. I was - and still am - completely obsessed with words and the way they fit together to tell stories. One of my fondest childhood memories is from Grade Six, when my Dad (an ex-journalist) helped me produce an elaborate documentary about the history of television. We spent hours researching, writing, filming and editing - I learned to love the way information could be sculpted into stories. Upon discovering some people actually make a living out of storytelling, I knew I wanted to pursue it. After graduating high school, I dove into a four-year course at university studying both a Bachelor of Journalism and a Bachelor of Business (Economics). Whilst studying, I worked several jobs and interned at a number of different TV and radio stations, writing all the while. I am thrilled to say that I am, as of last week, a journalist at the Free Times.

Though originally from Brisbane, I have now relocated to Warwick with my partner Jack. I am excited to learn more about the Southern Downs and its community, to get to know more people, and to grow as a journalist. I have only been in Warwick a short while, but I have noticed a wonderful sense of community spirit here that makes for a really friendly welcome. Having spent time writing and presenting for a community radio station in Brisbane, I understand the importance of being a strong voice for the community. I care passionately about celebrating the good, highlighting the bad and providing essential news and information to residents of the region. I am grateful to be joining a team that holds the same values to be true. I look forward to discovering more about my new home, and getting to know the faces of Warwick and Stanthorpe. -Jess

Merry Muster Shoppers are set to arrive in busloads By Jess Baker Hundreds of Brisbane and Gold Coast dwellers are set to descend on the Southern Downs for a day of Christmas shopping and market fun, as part of an initiative to support regional businesses. Merry Muster founder and Brisbane woman Kristin Bonner organised the very first regional shopping day in late 2019, when ferocious bushfires were burning across Queensland and drought conditions in the Darling Downs and Granite Belt were particularly brutal. “It was October and I was watching the news every night, feeling helpless,” Kristin said. “So I put something up on my Facebook and asked if anyone wanted to go shopping in Dalby with me.” An hour later, Kristin had 35 people interested in the excursion. “I thought ‘I’ll have to get a minibus’,” she said. Within 24 hours, Kristin had more than 50 attendees, a name and a coach. So began the Merry Muster. “57 of us travelled to Dalby and Bell and together we injected $17,500 into the region in one day.” This Saturday, 350 members of the Merry Muster group will arrive in Warwick, ready to spend their Christmas shopping dollars. It is expected the group will spend a few hours shopping Warwick’s main streets and Christmas Markets, then travel in a convoy of seven

buses to Ballandean for lunch, and Stanthorpe for some more shopping. If this year’s per person spending is similar to last year’s expenditures at $300 per person, the Southern Downs region could potentially see an influx of more than $100,000. “The guests are so excited and thrilled to be able to come out and help contribute to livelihoods,” Kristin said. “They’re excited to spend their money where it matters.” Kristin said she believes the initiative has particularly resonated with people in the wake of Covid-19 as everyone has a deeper understanding of “the power of their money”. A percentage of ticket costs will also be donated to local charities Granite Belt Water Relief and the Warwick Community Van, while some goods will be donated to charities Share the Dignity, Wildlife Rescue and the Warwick Community Van. Having grown up in central Victoria, Kristin is familiar with the devastation of drought. She said the Merry Muster group is comprised of people who grew up in the country like she did and people who passionately believe in helping their country friends. “Choosing Warwick and Stanthorpe as our destinations was a no-brainer,” she said. “The towns are well-deserving, they have a lot to offer and I can make it happen.” Stanthorpe’s Christmas Market Day has been moved to coincide with the Merry Muster, and Kristin has spoken with the Warwick Potters Place Gallery and Artspace about

A Southern Downs Regional Council spokesperson said the local community embraces the initiative to ensure all visitors have a great experience so they will return and bring friends. “Not only has our region had to deal with Covid-19 issues, but also continuing drought and bushfire recovery, so the community, businesses and local tourism operators appreciate the support of visitors and locals,” the spokesperson said.

“It will be great to see cheerful faces enjoying our rural streets with boutique shopping opportunities that will surprise them and encourage them to return.” The spokesperson said more than 50 vendors have registered to showcase their wares at the Stanthorpe markets, and the range of stalls “will include a selection of local artisans and producers putting forward the region’s finest craft, cooking, food, preserves, jewellery, soaps, award winning wines and fresh produce, to name but a few.” Council assures Covid-19 regulations for the event are being taken very seriously, and social distancing spacing between stalls will be implemented so that people can easily maintain the required 1.5 metres.

A show of support... By Jess Baker The Darling Downs Hotel - better known as the Sandy Creek Pub - is holding a fundraiser for a young Pratten family coming to terms with the loss of two children after their vehicle overturned in Wyaralong Dam in the Scenic Rim the weekend before last. Dylan Wadley and Melissa Martin lost Leo, 13, and Mia, 4, in the accident, while one-yearold Ace and five-week-old Hope survived and were discharged from hospital this week, as were Dylan and Melissa. Owner of the Sandy Creek Pub, Kevin Kiley, is hosting a two-day fundraiser this weekend to raise money for the family, part of an outpouring of community support. The event will commence at 12pm this Saturday 5 December, with Noah’s Thoroughbred Racing Pigs running pig races throughout both days. “There are a variety of gifts that have been donated by people far and wide,” Kevin said. “By people in our local community, Toowoomba, the Gold Coast ... it’s unbelievable.” Kevin said some of the prizes will be raffled off in a multi-draw, and the bigger ticket items will be auctioned off. Carlton and United Breweries (CUB) and XXXX Beer have donated cartons of beer to be sold at the event, and Primo has donated bacon and breakfast food for Sunday morning. Guests are welcome to camp for free on the eight acres surrounding the pub, but will be required to pay a small $5 fee for shower usage. This payment, like everything else spent on the weekend, will go directly to Melissa and Dylan’s family. “The money that’s going to be raised out

Sandy Creek Pub owner Kevin Kiley and Cr Cynthia McDonald stand with some of the donations for this weekend’s fundraiser event. of that beer garden - whether it’s through the multi-draw, through the auctions of items, the pig races, the food, the beer from the can yard or the gate takings - all of it will go to the family,” Kevin said. Guests will enjoy two days of music from a variety of artists that Kevin describes as “saltof-the-earth type people”. “It’s important to remember that these musos have donated their time, which is just unbelievable considering the year they’ve gone through,” he said.

Shane Webcke will also be joining the fundraiser Sunday morning and will bring along some auction items. “He might even bring some signed jerseys,” Kevin said. Last Saturday, 28 November, residents of the family’s Pratten community gathered for their annual Christmas party. Organisers from the Pratten Progress and Preservation Association collected donations for the family on the night, ultimately raising more than $2,000 with just over 50 guests.

Several days later, President Diane Lawlor said the donations are still rolling in. “On behalf of the family and the organisers, I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone for their generosity and support,” she said. For further information regarding Sandy Creek Pub’s upcoming fundraiser, contact Kevin Kiley by phone (07) 4661 3413 or 0427 660 034, or by email at noahsfarm@bigpond. com

Granite Belt ‘partnership’ “We all want to see the Granite Belt reach its full potential and it makes sense that we should work in unity for the benefit of our region. “Together, we will identify priority issues that directly relate to the Granite Belt and use our collective resources to progress these.” The council spokeswoman said along with Councillor Jo McNally’s suggestion that a similar collaboration would also be beneficial in the northern region, Cr Pennisi is “keen to engage with interested stakeholders and invites them to contact Council by email at mail@sdrc.qld.gov.au or call 1300 MY SDRC (1300 697 3720)”. “The alliance will remain active for the current term of Council and be reviewed in the next term,” the spokeswoman said. “It is expected the Granite Belt Alliance will meet quarterly. “A draft Terms of Reference has been prepared and circulated to the presidents of each organisation for comment.”

The Southern Downs Regional Council says it will “partner with key local organisations in the southern region to work collaboratively on issues of strong mutual interest after Council voted in favour of participating in the Granite Belt Alliance” at last week’s general council meeting. A spokeswoman said council “will enter into a strategic alliance with Granite Belt Growers Association (GBGA), Granite Belt Wine & Tourism (GBWT), the Stanthorpe & Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce and the Granite Belt Sustainable Action Network (GBSAN)”. Appointed as Council’s representative to the group, Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi said coming together cohesively was “mutually beneficial” and he was “looking forward to working with the parties to see the region thrive and prosper”. “By joining forces and sharing information with these organisations, we will achieve better outcomes for the region sooner,” Cr Pennisi said.

SDRC to increase rates By Jeremy Sollars Southern Downs councillors have voted to apply a general and utility rates increase of 1.9 per cent to the second round of rates notices for the 2020-2021 financial year due to be issued in January. The move follows a rates ‘freeze’ the council applied to the first round of 2020-2021 rates, which formed part of a package of financial concessions introduced in July as a response to the local economic impacts of Covid-19. The new council administration under Mayor Vic Pennisi also split the previously annual rates bills into two six-monthly instalments, with Cr Pennisi this week arguing that the resultant 0.95 per cent “annual” rates increase for 2020-2021 will be the “lowest” such increase during his 16 years as a councillor. But a minority of two councillors - Jo McNally and Sheryl Windle - recorded ‘no’ votes on the decision at last week’s general council meeting, arguing that many of the region’s ratepayers are still “hurting” from the Covid-19 lockdown earlier this year, and the ongoing drought in the region. Crs McNally and Windle also argued that savings could be made in other areas of council expenditure to offset a continued rates freeze. Reports from council officers submitted to last week’s general meeting show the zero rates increase in the first six months of this financial year has resulted in a foregone revenue loss to the council of $529,000. A further $498,000 in revenue has also been foregone as a result of the other Covid-19 measures, all of which will remain in place for at least the time being. Among those additional measures are a suspension of the charging of interest on overdue rates and charges from the previous financial year, waiving of food licence and accommodation and caravan park fees for 2020-2021, and a 50 per cent reduction on development assessment fees. The council has also calculated that costs “directly incurred” as a result of Covid-19 amount to $292,000, and include the installation of border gates, “deep cleaning” of council facilities, “sanitation and protective equipment” for staff and “wages directly related to the pandemic”. A further “possible operating deficit” for the current budget of $726,594 has also been “identified” by the council’s finance staff, which they say is “mainly due to a large unexpected expenditure requirement and the ongoing effects of the drought on the number of head being sold through the Saleyards”. In their report headed ‘Covid Pandemic Financial Implications Update’ council officers also stated they expect the “direct costs” to the council will continue to accumulate as “the nature of the pandemic, including the speed of responses required and the unforeseen length of time it would impact our Community, has meant that not every item of expenditure was initially expensed to COVID-19 activities”. “Therefore, the above list is not exhaustive and as further items are identified and investigated, they will be reallocated as a cost of CO-

VID-19,” the report states. “As such, there is an expectation that these costs will increase, through both re-classification and as the pandemic continues to incur costs into the future.” Last week’s reports noted that as of 12 November just under 92 per cent of the first six months’ worth of rates for 2020-2021 had been paid, compared with 85 per cent at the same point in the 2019-2020 financial year. Mayor Vic Pennisi this week told the Free Times the main driver for councillors behind the rates increase is the potential for “another spike” in Covid-19 in the region and the council needs to “mitigate” such a risk or otherwise draw on its cash reserves. Unexpected sewage system costs ... The decision to apply the rates increase to the next round of notices came at the same meeting as separate officers reports - from the water and sewerage services section - reveal unbudgeted expenditure of more than $600,000 must be factored in for the second half of the 2020-2021 financial year. The minutes of last week’s meeting state the money will come from the “existing capital works budget”, but provide no detail on what other works projects may be dropped out of the budget as a result over the next six months. The council must find $105,435 to repair erosion of the riverbank below the Warwick Sewage Treatment Plant caused by a raw effluent spill into the Condamine River in June of this year. The sewage spill was the result of the “failure” of a “tertiary filter unit” at the treatment plant, which sits above the river at the far western end of Victoria Street. To date the council has not been fined for the overflow by the Queensland Department of Environment although six-figure fines for effluent spills into waterways are possible under state laws. The council also needs to spend $500,000 on “electrical and switchboard upgrades” at the Market Square sewerage pumping station in Warwick, which handles two-thirds of the sewage generated in Warwick daily. Council officers last week described the pumping station as “high-risk”. The half a million is an “additional up-

grade” allocation for the pump station - which budget documents show was already budgeted in 2020-2021 to receive a $346,285 upgrade, primarily to increase its storage capacity - but last week’s officers reports do not provide any detail on the reasons for the extra spend of $500,000 on electrical and switchboard upgrades at Market Square. One of the council’s current loans it is paying off - through the Queensland Treasury Corporation - is a loan of $369,387 for past work on the Market Square sewage pumping station. Repeated sewage overflows in both Warwick and Stanthorpe over the last several years - into both the Condamine River and Quart Pot Creek - have exposed the ageing nature of the region’s underground water and sewerage infrastructure. A Free Times investigation in 2018 - including the release of internal council documents through Right To Information (RTI) - revealed a major cause of the sewage spills was a lack of maintenance of physical and electrical components of the council’s sewage treatment plants, with management having instead largely blamed staff operational errors. Cr Pennisi has several times in recent months pointed to the current and future costs of upgrading both the water and sewage systems as a significant cost factor for the council budget. Rates debate ... Last week’s council meeting saw the majority of councillors - including Mayor Vic Pennisi - voting in favour of the rates increase for the next six months, on the basis of shoring up the council’s overall finances. But former Deputy Mayor Jo McNally voted and argued strongly against the increase, at the same time acknowledging that as a councillor on the previous administration under Tracy Dobie she had argued for increased fiscal responsibility within the council. Cr McNally told last week’s meeting the community is “hurting” financially “going into Christmas” and asked if council officers needed to “look a bit harder to find some savings” in “operational” areas of the council budget to maintain the freeze on rates from July. “What if something unexpected happens,

what if we have a flood?” Cr McNally asked. “It (the rates increase) highlights that we need to go back and review what we’re doing operationally in case we have something that comes out of the blue. “Our community is hurting - (accommodation providers) have been hit with pedestal charges which they are crying out to say ‘we can’t afford’ them as it is. “I think there would be other savings we can make before the end of the financial year to bring our budget back, maybe not to a huge surplus but a surplus. “If the view is that we can’t afford to not have a rates rise unless we change our core business, that’s the message we need to send out to the community. Cr Sheryl Windle, who also voted against the general rates and utility increase, asked if the increase “has to be 1.9 per cent” and suggested it could be lower to ease the impact on the community. Cr Andrew Gale - who moved the resolution to apply the rates increase - told the meeting he felt “conflicted” over voting in favour of the rates increase but said it was reasonable to “review” the rates freeze applied for the first six months of the current financial year. He said it is “in everyone’s interests in having a council that’s in a good financial position - it’s something the community expects of us.” Cr Gale said the alternative would be to dip into the council’s financial reserves. Cr Stephen Tancred - who seconded the resolution - said pensioners had received Federal Government Covid-19 assistance which he believed would assist with managing their rates, and also asked senior council officers if cutting other operational costs to continue the rates freeze could potentially have an impact on council staffing levels. Chief Executive Officer Dave Burges said such a move could potentially mean staff vacancies might not be filled during 2020-2021. Deputy Mayor Ross Bartley said he was confident council staff had “put their heart and soul” into reviewing the current budget “line by line” to find cost savings, and pointed to the “unexpected event at the sewage works”, understood to refer to the June overflow into the Condamine. Mayor Vic Pennisi said he has often asked the question “are we as a council doing too much?”, and said the council on an “infrastructure cliff” and “our trajectory is quite ugly”. “I know this is a tough decision and I thank councillors for their debate - all the other (Covid-19) concessions remain in place, and at 0.95 per cent spread across the whole financial year this is the lowest rates increase I’ve seen in 16 years as a councillor in the region,” Cr Pennisi said. Crs McNally and Windle called for a ‘division’ on the floor of the council chamber, which records for the minutes the way councillors voted, as opposed to a show of hands. They both voted ‘no’ to the increase, while voting ‘yes’ were Mayor Vic Pennisi, Deputy Mayor Ross Bartley and Councillors Andrew Gale, Stephen Tancred, Marco Gliori, Cynthia McDonald and Cameron Gow.

After a three-year hiatus, the much loved Warwick Trots are set to return to Allman Park this Sunday, 6 December. The Darling Downs Harness Racing Club has worked in partnership with Racing Queensland and the Warwick Turf Club to secure and host the meeting, and members expect to see a significant turnout of support. Event organiser and racecaller Anthony Collins said the event is always “very well-attended”, but this year will be like no other. “Both the TAB and Sky Channel will be running the Warwick Pacing Cup,” he said. “It’s also the first time we’re putting on a sprint race.” Anthony said that although Covid-19 has

put pressure on organisers, the event will provide a great opportunity for friends and family to catch up and have some fun. Gates will open at 11am, the races will begin at 12pm, and the bookmakers, the bar and barbecue will be operating all day long. “It’s a great opportunity to forget about 2020 for a day,” Anthony said. “Even Covid-19 couldn’t kill the races this year.” Anthony said he is pleased to have harness racing back in Warwick, and punters and patrons can expect to enjoy the usual levels of hospitality and entertainment. Tickets for the event can be purchased online at eventbrite.com.au. For further enquires, contact the Warwick Turf Club at 4661 1023 or Anthony at 0498 123 440.

The Southern Downs Regional Council says in a year “where our community like many others experienced the necessary but unfortunate cancellation of major events due to COVID-19, Council has been working hard to ensure that planning for our annual Christmas carols around the region is progressing”. “Council is very happy to announce the annual Carols events will go ahead as planned this Christmas season,” a spokeswoman said. “In Warwick, a free COVID-19 safe event is planned and will be held at the Warwick Showgrounds on Sunday 13 December from 6pm this year. “The event will see contact-tracing registrations and social distancing guidelines in place to safeguard the community. “The focus of the event will be safe family Christmas fun and the return of community events to the region. “In Stanthorpe, Carols in the Park will again see Weeroona Park transformed into a Christmas wonderland as local singers hit the stage on Saturday 12 December. “The Allora community will celebrate with the Allora Bush Christmas and Markets in Herbert Street on Friday 4 December - the event will feature music, rides, food and local fun and games from 4.30pm to 7.30pm.” Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi said Christmas is his favourite time of year and is looking forward to the celebrations returning to the region again. “Something magical happens at Christmas time where the community connects and unites,” Cr Pennisi said. “We’ve all had a particularly tough year and weathered many challenges, but the holiday season reminds us to focus on the joy and love that we have in our lives. “Whether the carols are an old or new

Debate continues... By Jeremy Sollars The Southern Downs Regional Council is due to discuss future options for the Warwick Saleyards at its last meeting for 2020 on Wednesday 16 December - including a Master Plan developed by external consultants and a business case prepared by council staff. As previously reported in the Free Times the council’s Saleyards Advisory Committee, made up of external industry representatives - and Councillors Cynthia McDonald and Marco Gliori - in October voted unanimously in favour of recommending to the council that a new saleyards facility be developed on an asyet unidentified ‘greenfield’ site in the Warwick area. The ‘greenfield’ option was outlined in the Warwick Saleyards Master Plan compiled by project management consultants Wiley and Co and commissioned by the previous council in 2019 under former Mayor Tracy Dobie. Other options include a ‘staged’ major upgrade of the existing saleyards at the corner of Bracker Road and McEvoy Streets in Warwick - or a full re-build on the existing site - or a ‘do nothing’ option. The future of the saleyards has been a hot topic in the region’s livestock industry for some time, with the former Dobie administration having investigated the option of outsourcing management of the saleyards to a private operator. The Free Times has been seeking since October 2019 to obtain the full Wiley and Co master plan through Right To Information (RTI) but to date the council - under both Ms Dobie and current Mayor Vic Pennisi - has refused to release the full document, including costings of both the ‘greenfield’ and upgrade options, saying those costings are ‘commercial in confidence, and their release could prejudice future tendering processes with potential contractors for any such work.

What the terms mean – ‘Greenfields’ refers to a brand new saleyards on a new site. ‘Brownfields’ refers to the existing Warwick Saleyards. The current council did release part of the Wiley and Co Master Plan in July of this year, including an outline of potential features of both the ‘greenfield’ and upgrade options.

SURVEY EXTENDED ... The council is seeking community views on the future of the saleyards through a survey which was due to close on Wednesday of this week but has been extended until Thursday 31 December. Mayor Vic Pennisi said in early November that “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,” he said last month. “Council is considerably invested in the Warwick Saleyards Master Plan and will 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. “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. “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.” “Council will consider the Warwick Saleyards Master Plan and Business Case and the option of a greenfield or brownfield site further when a report is presented at the December 2020 Ordinary Council Meeting (next Wednesday 16 December). Mayor Vic Pennisi has not given a timeframe as to when a final decision will be made on the Warwick Saleyards but it could be in early 2021. Continued next page

TAMWORTH, INVERELL VISIT Councillors Cynthia McDonald and Marco Gliori are the designated council representatives on the Saleyards Advisory Committee and as the minutes of the Thursday 15 October meeting record, both voted in favour of recommending to full council that a brand new saleyards be developed on a greenfield site. Cr McDonald - whose family has farming interests in the Warwick area - was the mover of the resolution, which was seconded by Ross Fraser of Frasers Livestock Transport. At last week’s general meeting Cr McDonald requested the use of a council vehicle to travel to Tamworth and Inverell to inspect their saleyards today, Thursday 3 December and tomorrow, with only Mayor Vic Pennisi having voted against the request, questioning why a request was not made through Chief Executive Officer Dave Burges to arrange such a visit involving all councillors. Cr McDonald said she had emailed Cr Pennisi within the previous week with such a request, to which the Mayor replied that last Wednesday’s meeting was the first opportunity for councillors to discuss it. The Mayor and CEO said the opportunity still exists for a saleyards tour involving other councillors who might wish to attend, before a final decision is made on the future of the Warwick facility. Mr Burges said council officers are continuing to compile comparative data and other information on saleyards in Queensland and NSW.

Cr McDonald will also be joined on this week’s visits by Jim Wedge and Ross Fraser, with Mr Wedge this week telling the Free Times he and Mr Fraser will be travelling separately and at no expense to the council. Mr Wedge said he believes it is important to inspect the other sites “first hand to see the benefits of a new site and discuss with management there”. “Both Ross (Fraser) and myself are taking our roles on the advisory committee very seriously and want to be able to give as considered advice as we can,” Mr Wedge said. Cr McDonald told the Free Times she will attend the site visits in Tamworth and Inverell “in my capacity as a Councillor, member of the Saleyards Advisory Committee and a farmer in the region”. Cr McDonald has also in recent times visited the saleyards at Roma, Dalby and Casino and compiled reports which she has circulatedto her fellow councillors.

VIEWS SOUGHT ... The Free Times asked the council’s Saleyards Advisory Committee chairman, Jim Wedge, for his views on the potential benefits of a new saleyards facility for Warwick, following the unanimous vote of the committee in October to recommend the option to councillors. Mr Wedge asked that his comments be published in the form of a ‘Letter to the Editor’, the full text of which is below ...

TO THE EDITOR FREE TIMES... As requested by yourself the following are my personal views why I think Southern Downs regional Council should construct new cattle and sheep saleyards on a greenfield site. I must make it clear that I am not representing or responding on behalf of the council or the advisory committee. My role and dealings as Chair of the Saleyards advisory committee are confidential until released by Council. I do feel obligated however to help inform the general public of the advantages

of a new site during this time of public consultation. The Pros and cons of the decision to build a new site or upgrade the existing are extensive and hard to summarise in this brief letter. Through the commercial arm of our cattle business, we have been selling cattle through the saleyards through one of the local agents for 10 years, so we are passionate about ensuring the yards stay a long term fixture in Warwick for the benefit of ourselves, our bull buying clients but more importantly for the general cattle and sheep industries and the progression of Warwick and the Southern Downs region in general. The existing saleyards complex at over 50 years old has realistically reached the end of its working life. The issue, I will try to address, is the reason why a new greenfield site is preferable to renovating the existing site. I feel Council has no alternative but to do one or the other due to WHS and animal welfare issues. To do nothing could be seen as negligent on their behalf in my view. A greenfield site could be constructed, with no interference to business at the existing site, during construction. Renovation of the old site would be very disruptive to business. Upgrading the old site means we would still end up with a substandard site as cattle flow within yards and traffic flow for loading and unloading would be hard to change. We would still end up with some ageing infrastructure. A new fully undercover site can include water collection, storage and reclamation infrastructure, reducing reliance on town water supply, particularly in drought times. Increased throughput should be achieved in a green field site with additional sales such as weaner sales not normally held here plus increased numbers due to the better cattle handling facilities. The incorporation of an on-line selling platform included in a new complex will increase competition. A new site will incorporate the very latest WHS and animal welfare standards reducing Council’s risk of litigation and even more importantly, the chance of serious injury to staff, vendors or livestock. Upgrading fully to industry standards would be nearly impossible at the existing site I feel. Upgraded yards would still be perceived

by vendors and buyers as just that, where a greenfield site would be seen as a very progressive move , attracting more vendors and buyers from further afield creating more competition and better prices for vendors and more profit for Council. A new state of the art facility will also help promote Warwick and the Southern Downs as an industry beacon which will have a flow on effect in attracting more business and employment opportunities. Larger seller and buyer numbers in town would help the local economy through possible more motel nights etc. The saleyards precinct could also perhaps see other complementary businesses set up in town at the new site. It would be something that Warwick and the Southern Downs could be proud of hopefully for another 50 years. An old saying in the commercial real estate game is “Build it and they will come”. One of my main concerns if Council does not build a state of the art greenfield site, private enterprise will do it somewhere on the Downs other than Warwick eventually making the Warwick yards unviable and unprofitable for council to continue operating. This would mean locals would have to cart their cattle further, incurring more costs and council loosing valuable income. Vendor fees would have to increase somewhat whether the existing site is upgraded or a new site constructed to help cover costs. A very personal thought and definitely not discussed at committee meetings or with council yet is that council could ‘grandfather’ local rate payers only with yard fees, for a number of years (ie hold their yard fees constant for say the first 2 or 3 years of a new site.) This is my view only and would need much further discussion. Federal and State Government grants will also help to offset some of the build costs. In summary I think it would be difficult and expensive to upgrade the existing yards to get them to industry standards. Unfortunately I am unable to comment on the cost comparisons calculated and recommendations made by independent reviews commissioned by Council between upgrading existing site and new green field site as this is confidential until released by council.

Why Leave Town Promotion Stanthorpe’s “Why Leave Town” (WLT) program kicked off this time last year but was originally established in Narrabri in 2007 to show locals just how much there is to do and see within one small town. There are now more than 50 different communities across 130 postcodes using the WLT program. HOW IT BENEFITS THE GRANITE BELT Shopping locally helps to strengthen the local economy and helps to attract families to the region. When a consumer buys local, significantly more of that money stays in the community. Local business owners will then have the incentive to support other local businesses, patronising local establishments for both business and personal reasons. Local businesses also support community groups and sporting groups thus enhancing the livability for younger families in the region.

Local businesses give a community its flavour. Towns across Australia have similar chain restaurants, grocery and department stores but that local cafe where you have breakfast every Saturday morning is one-of-a-kind. The combined presence of the Granite Belt’s many local businesses, wineries and tourist attractions makes it different from every other town in the country. Below you will find a list of businesses where you can purchase the Granite Belt gift cards as well as an extensive list of almost 100 operaters that accept them. The cards are valid for 3 years from date of issue and make great gift ideas for those hard to buy for friends and family. The Stanthorpe & Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce teamed up with the Bendigo Community Bank Stanthorpe to introduce these cards.

Health and Safety regulations as a PCBU, and to achieve minimum standards for animal welfare, a minimal investment would not achieve the requirements. Option 2 - major upgrade to existing facility The opportunity to provide a major upgrade would achieve the current Work Health and Safety and animal welfare standards. The budget has been planned as a 2-stage construction approach, reducing initial outlay and impact to the operation. Work Health and Safety standard upgrades would include replacement of all cattle yards and gates with new yards and slam-latched gates, including upgrading several of the sheep gates. Covering the yards with a purpose-designed covered roof area that provides the ability to use soft floor in all lane ways and yards. Also, the covered roof would provide a stormwater catchment to be utilised for water troughs, wash down and truck wash usage. Upgrading the receival facilities by adding an automated air operated drafting area. This would be utilised for mouthing, pre-sale scanning and separation drafting of cattle. Cattle yards ...

What I can say is the Saleyards Advisory Committee which consists of 5 local rate paying industry representatives and 2 councillors did vote unanimously to recommend the green field site to Council following review of the Independent Master Plan and business case studies. I will admit it is easy for me to state all the above and if council decide to proceed it will rely on council being able to secure finance and Govt grants to build the yards. A lot of work will be required to make it all happen however I believe it is definitely possible and necessary and we all need to remain positive to make this happen if the saleyards are to remain in Warwick and in council hands in the long term. Jim Wedge, Ascot Cattle Co. PS - Since completion of this letter Standards Australia as of last week have released a long awaited new National Standard AS 5340:2020 for loading and handling facilities for livestock effective immediately. This has been worked on since 2013.This is very timely as these new standards will make it even more onerous on council to bring the saleyards up to industry standards. Now there is an Australian Standard it means council and for that matter any property owner will be more open to potential prosecution and litigation if yards and handling facilities do not meet the standards.

‘16 Days of Activism’ Last Wednesday 25 November 2020 was the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and marked ‘day one’ of the ‘16 Days of Activism’. Each year, from 25 November to 10 December, World Human Rights Day, the 16 Days of Activism campaign calls for action against one of the world’s most persistent violations of human rights -violence against women. During the 16 Days of Activism, people around the world will unite to raise awareness about gender based violence, challenge discriminatory attitudes and call for improved laws and services to end violence against women for good. The Zonta Club of Warwick is joining with

this worldwide initiative with free- standing orange cut-out ladies hosted by organisations and businesses in Warwick, Allora and Killarney. This year one of our “ladies” will also visit the red bench set up by the Southern Downs Regional Council in Federation Park. The orange ladies have been made by the Warwick Men’s Shed in 2016 and 2019, and our Zonta Club once again thanks the members for their work.

“My say”... My name is Jeremy Lister. I’m 9 years old and I love reading the newspaper. A lot of people have asked me if I write a column for the Southern Free Times. I have been writing a weekly column in the Allora Advertiser but was delighted to be asked to write a fortnightly column in the Southern Free Times as well. When I heard about the fall of the Border Post (which I heard a couple months late) I was sad and wanted a replacement. I never knew that I would be making the replacement though (well sort of ). In my column I plan to write about news about Stanthorpe and the Granite Belt. My first column is about the Stanthorpe pop up outdoor furniture shop. The pop up furniture store ... On the 31st of October following the moving of MWF plumbing, Stanthorpe furniture emporium seized the opportunity to open up a pop shop specialising in outdoor furniture. Edith the owner said that she was up 6am to 7pm trying to get the shop ready. The shop has five rooms and is right next to MWF plumbing in Maryland Street Stanthorpe. I think it is a great shop and it has heaps of nice outdoor furniture. My favourite piece is a swinging seat. I am sitting in it in the picture. Edith said the shop is doing well and will be open until the end of January 2021.

The Free Times is featuring contributions from the Rose City Writers Group this week FLEUR LIND shares her latest work ... ‘The Canine Crooners’ For some unfathomable reason, Mum is in a grump with me. It seems I have been demoted from my ranking of totally cute and am now sliding down the slippery pole of popularity, to a new title. My name is Lulu, but lately I have been called a variety of far less favourable names. I have also noticed some changes in Mum’s tone, and being referred to as ‘that’, as she points an accusing finger at me, or even worse, ‘that thing’. What?? My loving looks aren’t working, my watery eyes, I’ve even fluttered my long eyelashes as her, but it didn’t work. I’m at a complete loss why I’m out of favour. To try and work this out and console my hurt pride, I have written a list of what I do well and what I do amazingly well. I can’t think of anything I do wrong. Starting at the top, I think it’s more than fair to say, I am adorable. Dumbing it down in my defence, I have a demeanor that melts hearts. My appearance has been known to uncross the wires of the most-cross, grumpy person I meet. You like your messy/scruffy-bun hair, seems to me the scruffier the better. Well I do scruffy too. I don’t mean to brag, but I invented it. I make my admirers go all gooey. It’s what I do. I can’t help it. I’m welcoming, excitable, loving and playful. I’m not boasting, but I generally make people happy with my cuteness. I have a partner in crime, as it were. Ben is about ten times bigger than me, that might be an exaggeration, but he’s big and I’m not. I’m a Silky/Maltese/Jack Russell, he’s a collie/ blue heeler, a big gentle giant. So, while I run around frantically, he is running but pacing himself calmly.

As for our vocals, Ben is loud and bassy, while I am more soprano. I think we ‘harmonise’ well. The next door neighbours, Wilson and his sidekick Tayla, also like to put their 20 cents worth in when a leaf drops, or a car goes by, a car door shuts, or another leaf falls to the ground. It’s all news to be enthusiastically shared in the neighbourhood. Wilson and Tayla join in the chorus; they seem to blend in with us very well. If there were such a thing, we would enter a talent show for our canine kind. I have a feeling we would win, paws down. So, with my excitable view on life and everyday things that would no doubt be monotonous to anyone else who hasn’t the breeding of my associates and I, our end of the street can get a bit raucous. We three amigos share joie de vivre that is unparalleled. I am about halfway down my list of what I do well and what I do brilliantly, and still there is no change in Mum. She puts a finger in each of her ears and pulls a face when Ben and I are about to reach our crescendo. She yells something at us in a very growly tone, sometimes she throws one of her old slippers in my direction. I am never harmed by this gesture, as her aim is always off, and I’m too quick and dart out of the way. When visitors come to call, they can hear Mum yelling at us before she reaches the front door. Can we help it if we have super-power hearing and we can hear a car turn a corner a block away? Does Superman have these problems when he is hovering high above the earth, his red cape floating gracefully in the stillness of space, as he listens for signs of alarm or danger? Do any nearby space shuttles or random aliens that are just passing through our orbit

on their way to another galaxy, ever growl at him? Even if he isn’t blessed with pitch-perfect vocals like us, he can still hear a pin drop in Pittsworth! So now, my mission is to sweeten up Mum. Mother’s Day is long gone, but Christmas is around the corner. I thought if I saved one of my bones and buried it, letting it percolate with the bug life beneath the grass or in the vegetable patch, I could deliver it on the kitchen floor for Christmas morning. It would have a nice woody, earthy taste with the dirt sticking to it, making it even more delicious. I will have to check with Ben, I’m sure he will also have a master plan to keep my Mum happy. Ben visits daily for respite while his owner goes to work, so I must brief him each morning on the latest scoop. He goes home after a day with me and Wilson and Tayla. It’s a busy life. And as the sun sets, Mum is having a cup of tea while she cooks dinner. I’m back inside on my best behaviour, selecting a toy to chew on from my basket. After a day of chasing anything that does or doesn’t move, and voicing my opinion, pleasure or displeasure in my soprano tones, having many discussions and singalongs with my associates, it’s time to reflect on the day. Mum is happy for now, but how long that will last is anyone’s guess. However one thing is sure, there will be no more old slippers being hurled tomorrow ... I’ve hidden them. One’s buried next to the snapdragons and the other is under the house in an old box. Maybe I’ll give them back at Christmas as a ‘side’ with the bone.With a card that says, ‘From Lulu, with Love’. I’ll be out of the doghouse and back in the good books!

Market day!

• S at u r Councillor MARCO GLIORI I was born in 1963 when my parents lived at Leslie Dam in its final stages of construction. Growing up in Warwick, I was sports mad. The best thing about graduating from Warwick State High was my wife Julie graduating with me. We left together twelve months later, raised three children, and although it took me thirty years to finally settle back here permanently, I could never wait to get back to ‘our place’. Why did you run for Council? I was returning from successful festivals and Writer in Residency programs feeling unfulfilled. I needed a new challenge, an opportunity to serve the community that inspired who I had become. The fact that Warwick had become part of the Southern Downs was a bonus, allowing me to discover the road less travelled within the region, meet new characters and forge constructive relationships. What is your career background and how does that influence your role as a Councillor? My first job was as a policeman. I served for 10 years and learnt to never run when you can walk, react calmly and assess all the evidence before making decisions. My next thirty years was as a poet, entertaining, laughing, writing with both adults and children and learning the greatest sanctuary is our imagination. What do you love most about living in the region? This is where I belong, raised on the banks of the Condamine River. The landscapes and characters are unique throughout our region. I grew up playing sports against Killarney, Stanthorpe and Allora, where smaller communities punched far above their weight and still do in so many ways. How will this region thrive? We will thrive through empowering the individuality of each distinct part of our region. We must connect the spirit of the Southern Downs though mutual respect whilst promoting growth, new business and employment opportunities. Let us show our tourists what collaboration can achieve. What is your vision over the next four years? Four years is not a long time. We have strategic and corporate plans which I have touched on but my personal vision may change according to community requests and issues that gain momentum, urgent opportunities and challenges that rise before us for consideration. Council staff place before us a myriad of projects so I can only stick with being open, honest, transparent and consultative.

GOODFELLAS 7TWO, 8.30pm

Positively bursting at the seams with invention and energy few ﬁlmmakers could muster, Martin Scorsese’s tour de force gangster epic chronicles the fast times of low-level gangster Henry Hill (Ray Liotta, pictured). Hill’s rocky romance with New York’s criminal underworld is shared by the ﬁrebrand Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) and the shadowy Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro). Scorsese grew up in Little Italy, and he knows every beat and tick of the trade – his depiction is vivid and truthful.

SATURDAY

FAMILY FEUD WIN, 4pm

This long-running game show has had multiple hosts and multiple lives in its history and returns to our screens tonight after a hiatus in September. With the infectiously energetic host Grant Denyer (pictured) in the driver’s seat, it pits two families against each other for glory and cash prizes. With only five episodes to go, Family Feud continues to celebrate our frontliners: nurses, teachers, firies and farmers with a staggering $100,000 up for grabs. Tonight, the Unanderra firies, who have been battling fires that threaten their tight-knit community, take on the Martin family, who have for generations been working for the Salvation Army.

THE FEED SBS, 10pm

Sometimes the sheer constancy and mass of news outlets sharing stories can be deafening. How to cut through it all? When switching oﬀ completely means we can’t really claim to be informed citizens, it’s best to choose your news sources wisely. The Feed is solid journalism. But it is also refreshing and often-times hilarious, with hosts Marc Fennell, Alice Matthews (pictured) and Alex Lee committed to presenting issues-based reporting delivered from a younger perspective. In tonight’s edition, despite the plethora of dating apps on the market, the team explores why many Indian Australian millennials are opting for arranged marriages through oldfashioned matchmakers instead.

If you are a semi-reluctant TV viewer who feels the need to justify hours spent in front of the box, then period dramas – especially those based on real royal families – are ideal. They are essentially a stylish and engaging history lesson, no? In its third season, we’ve seen Queen Victoria (Jenna Coleman, pictured)) navigate ruling a kingdom while navigating messy international politics and the birth of her sixth child. Who says she can’t have it all? In tonight’s season ﬁnale, the world is watching as the Great Exhibition in London’s Hyde Park is opened to the public. The anticipation and pressure cause strain on Albert’s (Tom Hughes) health. Jenna Coleman stars in Victoria.

Email your community news to: jeremy.sollars@FreeTimes.com.au

DRIVER REVIVER

Like all Charitable organisations, the Killarney QCWA has had its ability to raise funds curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic regulations in this most unusual year. The QCWA donates to rural families in distress and was able to distribute financial aid to many drought stricken farming families in the Killarney district during the drought emergency as well as aiding local residents through troubled times. In order to continue this work we need to rebuild our resources and to this end we are holding a Christmas Tree Display on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 December from 10am till 2pm. We are asking for decorated trees to be donated for display - can be hand-crafted or purchased - and later sale. The public is invited to come and vote for their favourite tree by dropping a coin in the cup beside the tree. There will Christmas Crafts for sale as well as tea, coffee and scones. Please take this opportunity to support the organisation that supports you and your area in times of need.

Volunteers are being sought for the Gladfield Driver Reviver stop on the Cunningham Highway during the Christmas period. The Driver Reviver provides free refreshments for travellers to encourage them to ‘break the drive’ for road safety during peak holiday periods on our roads. The Gladfield Driver Reviver site has been operating for 30 years and new volunteers are always welcome. Shifts are of three hours’ duration and operate between 6am and midnight, seven days a week. The Gladfield Driver Reviver will be operating from midday next Friday 11 December until Sunday 3 January. Anyone interested in volunteering is asked to add their name to the roster sheets which are available in the front counter area of the Warwick Credit Union Head Of-

Rural Links Livestock agent ROSS ELLIS of McDougall & Sons brings his fortnightly update on local markets ...

Livestock markets summary… Numbers climbed for both cattle and sheep and lambs for the fortnight ended 25/11/20. The vendors and processors were very active, with the only lessening in the markets at the heavy ox and cow end. Vealer steers averaged 499 and 465c/kg, feeder steers 442 and 430c/kg. Feeder heifers 421 and 424c/kg, vealer heifers averaged 453 and 439c/kg, yearling steers 433 and 416c/kg, yearling heifers 435 and 402c/kg. Steers averaged 401 and 376c/kg, heifers averages 367 and 351c/kg with manufacturing steers 336 and 285c/kg average. Cows averaged 328 and 282c/kg. Bulls averaged 345 and 367c/kg.

The sale averages were 404c and 386c/kg. Whilst the sale averages were back it was due more to the number of light and feed on cattle numbers in the 24/11/2020 sale which gives a different slant to statistics. Sheep and lamb numbers were consistent with lambs topping at $216 and $233 to average $157 and $166. Ewes topped at $200 and $220 to average $127 and $123. Wethers topped at $160 and $182 to average $132 and $167. All runs of stock for breeding or feed on and back to paddocks are still firm to dearer. The weather is going to determine if this trend continues. Pork was strong as we move into the festive

season. Some good prices around at the moment $160-$180. Goats are still sought after and in strong demand making $4 to $4.60/kg live weight. With only 3 sales left for cattle and sheep we should see numbers begin to ease as processors move for shut downs and maintenance. The weather will make or break vendors as many are reluctant to hang onto stock with the memory of last year still strong in their minds, while they wait for the break. This may lead to numbers increasing rather than falling as they traditionally do at this time of the year. - Ross Ellis, McDougall & Sons, Warwick, 0419 744 151

LETTERS TO EDITOR Once again we are indebted to Jeremy Sollars and the Southern Free Times and his reporting of the very important issues regarding our Municipal Saleyards. I would like to apologise to all those supporters I had in the past years on this subject. I should have made some comments about this proposal much sooner than this. I can only say that I had a very personal issue which got in the way of this important problem. My daughter Helen has taken upon herself the task of putting together very pertinent points of our views regarding the so-called Greenfield project: the unnecessary waste of ratepayers’ monies and will leave us an unsaleable piece of real estate for a long time to come. The Brownfield option will more than cover our future. Noel McConville, Swan Creek Most importantly the ownership and management of saleyards by the SDRC must be maintained as an important income-generating public asset. It makes better economic sense to use the existing site with a staged upgrade and reconstruction, commencing with a re-build of the sheep yards. Better utilisation of the existing site could be achieved by relocating the canteen, administration and parking to an adjacent site. The existing site is well located with excellent road access and also rail connection. In the future, rail transport should be re-introduced for economic and environmental reasons, resulting in Reduced damage to our road infrastructure, therefore reduced maintenance costs Increased use of local towns as points of animal departure and therefore increased economic returns locally, reduced transport costs in the long term Rebuilding of the existing site eliminates the expenses involved in purchasing a new, larger site in possibly a lessconnected area. It also eliminates the necessity of a protracted and expensive decontamination of the old site prior to eventual sale or re-use. The truck wash remains viable. Rebuilding in stages would also lead to the use of local contractors over a longer period. The existing yards should also be deconstructed in stages with the removal of the useful sections of yards being offered for sale to local operators. Helen McConville, Swan Creekremoval of the useful sections of yards being offered for sale to local operators who may be seeking permanent indestructible smaller yards. Helen McConville, Swan Creek

Juice move ‘madness’ Federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud said that Queensland’s 282 citrus and apple businesses as well as the state’s food manufacturing sector will be disappointed that the Queensland Government has voted to classify pure Australian fruit and vegie juices in the same health category as soft drink. The Australian and New Zealand Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation has today slashed the health ratings of 100 per cent, no added sugar juices from five stars to as low as 2.5 which is lower than soft drinks such as diet cola. “It’s madness. Fresh, pure, vitamin-rich Aussie OJ is better than soft drink every day of the week and our Health Star Rating system should reflect this,” Minister Littleproud said, “At a time when we needs more jobs, and our farm and food processing sector need more support, the Queensland Government abandons them. “It will cause consumer confusion and impact sales in an already difficult year for farmers. “The disgraceful decision has undermined the integrity of the entire Health Star Rating system, and will lead to juice manufacturers dropping the health label altogether, leaving consumers worse off. “Agriculture needs to be confident governments are making sensible, evidence-based decisions when it comes to the regulation of food products.

“Today’s decision doesn’t take into account personal responsibility of consumers about the quantities of any food group they put down their throats. “I thank New South Wales and South Australia for their careful, sensible consideration of the fruit juice health rating system, but their counterparts’ actions here are astounding.

“Today I presented a paper about the important role fruit juice has in the diet of Australians that recommended an automatic fourstar rating on 100 per cent fruit and vegetable juice with no added sugar. “The Forum rejected this proposal even though it’s clear to me that retaining a fourstar rating would address industry concerns,

maintain the commitment of our growers and juice industry to the health star rating system, and retain jobs. “I’m all for ensuring good consumer health outcomes, but this lacks common sense. “It is a kick in the guts for our 1900 citrus farmers and the $800 million economic contribution they make through juice production.”

MLA national sheep data

Pest species detected in veg crop over Range The Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries says the exotic pest serpentine leafminer (Liriomyza huidobrensis), also known as pea leafminer or South American leafminer, has been found in a commercial vegetable crop in the Fassifern Valley (about 90 km south-west of Brisbane). This follows a confirmed detection of the pest in western Sydney in early November 2020. Serpentine leafminer poses a serious economic threat to Australia’s horticulture and nursery production plant industries. It has a wide host range including broccoli, beet, spinach, peas, beans, potatoes, tomatoes, melons and cut flowers. Its larvae feed internally on plant tissue, particularly the leaf, causing distinctive mine damage which may appear as pale ‘squiggly’ or ‘serpentine’ patterns. Severe unmanaged infestations may result in premature leaf drop, poor growth and reduced crop yields. The national technical committee that oversees the management of plant pest and disease incursions has determined that it is not technically feasible to eradicate this pest from Australia. The department is working with industry to address the serious threat posed by the serpentine leafminer to Queensland’s plant industries. Surveillance and tracing investigations indicate it is likely that the pest has already established outside the Fassifern Valley. Individual property quarantines are therefore unlikely to significantly slow the spread of serpentine leafminer and are not being considered as part of the current response to the outbreak in Queensland. Planning is underway for a national workshop with research, development and extension experts to further explore con-

entering the market at a higher weight bracket. Sheep slaughter and production National sheep slaughter continues to fly at a historically low trajectory, with the September quarter down 44% on the same period last year to total 1.1 million head. For the year-toSeptember, sheep slaughter has pushed down 31% on the same time last year and sits 21% below the five-year average for the same period. While retention of productive breeding stock has contributed to fewer sheep moving through the yards, it has been the smaller pool of available sheep this year after two years of excessive turn-off that has pressured inventory numbers and pushed down slaughter. Coinciding with a sharp decline in slaughter, mutton production has also come off the boil, contracting 40% to 30,900 tonnes carcase weight (cwt) over the September quarter. Unlike lambs, the increase in average sheep carcase weights has not been enough to offset the decline in production. Carcase weights lifted 6% on the June quarter to 27kg/head, which has been driven by the same force seen in lambs - greater feed availability.

Producers and consultants are strongly encouraged to photograph and report suspect sightings of serpentine leafminer to us on 13 25 23.

The pest has been detected in the Fassifern Valley in the Scenic Rim region.

Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) says the latest ABS data for the September quarter reported national lamb slaughter at 4.6 million head, a modest 2% decline on the same quarter last year. For the year-to-September, total lamb slaughter has totaled 14.5 million head, in line with MLA’s September Sheep Projections and with the December quarter still to go. While reports of increased lamb survival and higher marking rates pointed towards a larger spring crop this year, fewer numbers have moved through the processing chain, evidenced by an 11% decline in lamb slaughter on 2019 levels for year-to-September figures. When compared to lamb slaughter for the same period in 2016, which was also marked by improved conditions in many sheep producing regions, total lamb slaughter for 2020 has tracked down 16%, which highlights the ongoing flock recovery phase. Greater incentives to retain ewe lambs have been driven by both improved conditions and a dampening effect on offshore and domestic demand. Despite a slight decline in total lamb slaughter, national lamb production for the September quarter saw a 6% increase on the same quarter last year and a marginal 2% lift on this year’s June quarter. This was largely due to an increase in average carcase weights to sit at 24.95kg/head, the heaviest quarterly average on record. Greater feed availability continues to buoy lamb carcase weights, with more lambs

The fruits of summer...

growing, large tree with smooth bark the oval, blue/black fruit is not something to be desired by humans although is bird attracting and the tree is a great butterfly host. Not for our area, would be my suggestion, as it is a rainforest tree. Another one I have found is on the noxious list in Queensland. This one is the northern olive or Chionanthus ramiflora and is sometimes also known as native olive. It seems it is a native and is often confused with paniculata and is becoming a real problem in some areas of southern coastal Queensland. It is only grown from seed and spread by birds. By now I was getting confused and apart from deciding to buy and try a jar of wild olives I have decided to give olive research a miss. Tastes and what is available to eat has

changed remarkably over that 50 year time period. At present we are enjoying an abundance of mangoes in season. I remember trying my first mango, probably about 40 years ago, and it was one of the old “turpentine” variety and not particularly nice! Remember I was in western N.S.W. not in beautiful Queensland! They were very stringy and astringent, a far cry from the beautiful Bowen, Kensington pride, Calypso and other varieties available today. They are grown over such a wide area of our country now, from the far west around Kununurra on the Ord River and other areas of WA through the Northern Territory and North Queensland, that we can enjoy them for many months of the year as a wonderful, in season, summer fruit. I have found a recipe to make an easy dairy and egg free mango flummery, that is great fresh or frozen, and has become a favourite. I can see it appearing during winter to bring memories of summer, using pureed mango frozen while they are abundant and cheap. I also made, a few years ago, a mango, pineapple and passion-fruit jam that is just wonderful! If all 3 ingredients ever become available and cheap at the same time again there will certainly be more made for friends and family! Lychees are another of those fruits that have become available and widely grown. My first taste of these unusual fruit was in a fruit salad, also about 49 years ago, and they were from a tin. They have since become a fresh

fruit favourite addition to a summer fruit salad, when they are in season. I love the look of them in a fruit bowl also, with their bright red, crinkly skins giving a great contrast of colour and texture. Many varieties of things we eat have improved but one I find hard to cope with is, to my mind, the deterioration of flavours in table grapes on offer in our supermarkets and fruit shops. I am pleased that I now live in an area that, with a short trip to Stanthorpe, I can still relish the wonderful taste of old fashioned black muscats, to my mind, the only black grape worth eating! I know they do not have a long shelf life, or transport well, so do not meet the criteria required today and so are rarely available from supermarkets. However, they used to arrive fresh and lovely, by train, to the central coast of N.S.W., from a family vineyard in Mudgee, when I was a child. Loaded on a steam train from Mudgee, west of the Blue Mountains, via Lithgow, transhipped in Sydney, and picked up in Morisset from one of only 4 passenger trains a day that came north. It was not a quick trip, taking at least 2 full days. They probably tasted better because they were such a treat and sent with such love to us, but I still relish the taste and the memories, when I make the trip to Stanthorpe to buy them direct from the grower. We are so fortunate to live in this wonderful country, and especially in this area, that has such an abundance of spectacular fresh, seasonal, produce so easily available.

While shopping lately, really just browsing, I saw some Australian Wild Olives for sale. This piqued my interest as I really didn’t know we had a native olive. “Mr. Google” came in handy again and I found that we do have such a tree but also that the ones I’d seen were not from that source. They are in fact a Wild Olive as the label said and are from trees had grown from the root stock of grafted trees that had been planted for production 50 to 100 years ago in an area in Victoria. Some of these groves have been abandoned or neglected and the main tree has died but the root stock has survived and is now producing the very small, very intensely flavoured olives that I saw for sale in jars. They are hand-picked - very tedious job! Then pickled in the traditional way. I am delighted to see something good come out of an industry in Australia that was probably before its time. Australians were not huge olive eaters 80 or even 50 years ago, they are certainly an acquired taste, when these groves would have been coming into production and unfortunately, the industry struggled in its infancy and hence we now have these “wild” groves. It’s always a pleasure to me to now be able to buy a variety of Australian grown and processed olives and olive oil readily in supermarkets. In the process of finding out about these olives I did find that Australia has a real native olive - Olea Paniculata. While it might be a great, relatively quick

LIFESTYLE MOVE TRENDS... QUEENSLANDERS are keen to take advantage of everything their home state has to offer post-COVID, with an increasing number of people keen to embrace a more flexible lifestyle. According to the nbn Flexible Lifestyle Survey*, conducted by YouGov and commissioned by nbn, a third (33%) of Queensland residents are considering relocating after COVID-19 - a decision driven by desires to save money, to live a quieter life away from the hustle and bustle of big cities, and to ensure they’re not putting off the things that make them happy until they’re too old to enjoy them. Amongst Queenslanders looking to relocate, the majority (71%) want to stay in the sunshine state. More than three quarters (78%) of these are looking to move to a regional area, rate quiet streets and low traffic (73%), plenty of green space (67%), good health facilities (60%), and affordable homes (56%) as the most important features of their ideal community. The desire to relocate was spurred by the experience of COVID-19 and the accompanying focus on remote work online, with almost half (47%) of Queensland residents saying they’ve wanted to move for a while but have only lately considered it a feasible option.

Kylie Lindsay, Head of nbn Local Queensland, said: “While COVID-19 has brought many challenges this year, it’s also acted as a ‘circuit breaker’ for many people, giving them the opportunity to consider what’s really important to them and whether their existing lifestyle is meeting all their needs.” “For a significant number of Queenslanders, the realisation has been they love their home state but want to enjoy a more flexible lifestyle that allows them to focus on what really matters in life, like their family and wellbeing. Happily, many of

the Queenslanders who want to relocate to achieve these lifestyle benefits believe they can find their ideal community within the sunshine state.” Queensland isn’t just a popular lifestyle destination among current residents either - 38% of Australians who live outside Queensland and want to move interstate say Queensland is their ideal location. REIQ CEO, Antonia Mercorella said Queensland property has been in high demand and the recent trend in selling property online because of COVID-19 was seeing property move quickly. “COVID-19 meant property inspections and auctions all had to be done a different way. We had to pivot quickly and capitalise on the digitisation of our industry,” Ms Mercorella said. “Vendors are embracing a digital sales pitch and purchasers are buying property sight unseen. “It is a trend that has been embraced and we expect it to only grow in the future. Reliable, fast and secure online purchasing capability from anywhere works particularly well in our industry.” Additionally, the benefits of relocation don’t just apply to those making the move. Almost nine in ten (88%) of regionallylocated Queenslanders say an increase in

people moving to their area to live would bring benefits like more support for local businesses (64%), increase investment in the local community (46%), encouraging younger people to stay in the local area (39%) and increase support for local cultural activities (36%). “As more everyday activities move online, it is now possible for Australians to reap the benefits of their ideal community from anywhere in the country. As long as Australians have access to fast and reliable broadband**, they can make the move to their ideal community without giving up their job, access to important services or connection with family and friends. With recent experiences highlighting the opportunities of online work and the flexibility it can enable, and 11.82 million premises now able to connect to the nbn&trade; network, we are committed to helping people across the country achieve the lifestyle benefits that matter to them as their habits and priorities change,” Ms Lindsay said. The nbn Flexible Lifestyle Survey investigates how COVID-19 has accelerated consumer behaviour shifts and spurred lifestyle and priority changes. It also illustrates the flexibility consumers now have, to make life-changing decisions. ●

Casey O’Connor

Smith simply superb... It’s been quite a week - hunted off Fraser Island not by hungry dingoes by an influx of pesky seaweed and the dreadful fire situation (although no danger to our team). It was enough to have the ladies leading the fishing table very unhappy. As the leading non fisherman among the group I can’t say I was disappointed to be able to catch the first two international games of the summer of cricket. And what games they were. Steve Smith - what can you say other than simply superb. For a man who says he had “lost his hands” two outstanding innings and boy is he back and apparently with two hands. Even more astounding was his postgame revelation after his second consecutive ton that he had been suffering with vertigo earlier in the day and almost didn’t bat. If he can bat like that when he’s a little off balance the rest of the cricket world needs to take cover. Dave Warner and Aaron Finch looked like they had clicked into gear and one of my favourites, Marnus Labuschagne (aka Lamb Shank in the Spin household) is not far behind them. Pat Cummins is to be rested for the remainder of the white ball series in preparation for the Tests. Bad luck for Warner and the Aussies with Warner ruled out of the remaining white ball games following his groin injury. The race now to have him fit for Adelaide. Every cloud has a silver lining and Darcy Short gets his chance replacing Warner. I also hope we get the opportunity to see the prodigious new talent Will Pucovski before the end of the summer. What none of us are hoping to see again is a repeat of the farcical slow over rate from the Indian team in the first game. As the clock at the SCG crept towards midnight many patrons headed home and who could blame them. Lots of chatter about how to prevent a reoccurrence. The weight of public opinion says fines are not the answer - maybe losing overs might be the case or simply just stop as Warnie put it “fluffing about” between overs. After all big boys; surely it can’t be that difficult. However it is great to see that although the rivalry between India and the Aussies is fierce there looks to be a great camaraderie with

the games played in wonderful spirit. The world was rocked by the death of a champion who transcended sport - Diego Maradonna. A man blessed with a talent for the round ball game that was beyond out stratosphere. On the other hand a man deeply flawed. The outpouring of grief and the recognition of his brilliance across so many sports and in non-sporting fields has been unprecedented. I doubt we will see his like again. - Casey

CONSTABLE GOLFER OF THE YEAR The Stanthorpe Golf club announced the Men’s and Ladies Golfer of the Year last Saturday night during the Club’s Christmas party celebrations which followed the 4BBB Stableford competition. The winner of the men’s golfer of the year was the ever consistent by Scott Constable; the Runner up was Mick O’Brien. The award sponsored by Rossow Fuels. The Ladies golfer of the year, sponsored by Gracious Giving, was won by Lynette Ludlow. The joint runners up were Lorraine Evans and Neta Thouard. Earlier a field of 46 braced the sweltering conditions to play in the 4BBB Stableford. There was plenty of incentive to get things done and dusted as soon as possible - firstly get out of the heat and secondly to get the party started and there was a good roll up of members and their families. The conditions obviously suited Nathan Stibbard [8] and Travis Burton [13] who returned a score of 51 points for a clear victory. Burton had two four point holes which certainly help their score and on the par four eighth hole Stibbard Nathan drove through the green and chipped back for an easy birdie. Runners up were the last minute pairing of Paul Mills and Keith Jones with 47 points. While both players contributed, Mills’ four points at the 14th proved a boost. The teams of Neta Thouard and Peter Gibney; Len Leigh and Annelle Batterham and Keith Barnett and Mike McAuliffe each returned 45 points for a ball in the rundown. The encouragement award went to the Ja-

son twins [surnames withheld due to threat of legal action]. As we count down to a visit from the big man in the red suit, play this Saturday will be for the December Monthly Medal individual stroke and putting sponsored by Andersen’s Carpets and players will be hoping for milder conditions. Timesheets can be found in the usual place at the club.

TWILIGHT BOWLS UNDERWAY After clashing with a couple of State of Origin games in past weeks, the Warwick Bowls club Twilight Bowls and barbeque kicked off in earnest last Wednesday night. 12 bowlers enjoyed the evening. Y Reid, P Wagner, T Gallagher d J White, S Ford, K Hayes 13 - 12. R Forbes, P Owens, H Gibson d T Prichard, P Seipelt, R Tartan 15 - 4. There are quite a number of regular bowlers from the club currently in sick bay and their fellow bowlers wish to send them their best wishes for a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing them back on the green. Looking ahead the club is holding Social Bowls and Triples on Saturday; (Dec 11 - twilight bowls - Jackpot Bowls and Barbeque. I believe there is a fair bit of money in the pot now. Saturday Dec 14 Social; KFC Wednesday evening Dec 18. The Club Visiting bowlers are welcomed to the club on Saturdays, names in between 12 and 12.30pm at the Club or by phone for a 1pm start, and on Wednesdays for twilight bowls and barbeque, names in between 5pm and 5.30 pm for a 6pm start.

HOT CONDITIONS, HOT COMEPITITION The field may have been small but the competition in the Stanthorpe RSL Ladies Individual Stableford last Wednesday (Nov 25) was fierce despite the very warm conditions. Kay Webb played beautiful golf to return a winning score of 38. Helen Jones was hot on her heels and with 36. The run down went to Debbie Wilmot with 31 points.

EVERYONE’S FAV DRAWS A BIG FIELD Last Saturday members of the Warwick Golf Club played in everybody’s favourite event, the SS -v- Par. 64 Players started in the event and the course is holding up very well in the conditions. The greens are starting to look fantastic again albeit a little slower than they were prior to their recent renovation. On a day where there were plenty of good scores recorded Darren Rabbitt survived a count back to hop away with the win on plus four. Also recording a par four with a six under off the stick was Connor Cruice. Unfortunately he got the wrong the rough end of the pineapple after the count back and had to settle for runner up - well done to both players on a fine performance. The ball run down saw Michel Kairouz return a plus three. John Porter, Jack Pearson along with Ted King all finished on plus two. Charlie Morrison, Slim Eldridge and Phil Economidis all collected a ball with their plus one scores. Another eight players finished with plus one while 27th placed Peter Hynes finished square for the game indicating how well most players scored. The pin shot on the fifth went to Shane Reid. Rhys Farrell won the seventh. A great shot by Ian Stewart won pin at the ninth. Mal Galloway had success at the 11th and Sean Haynes the 16th. Keith Clarke won five 5 balls at the pro pin on 13; Peter Farrell collected four, Gary Russell-Sharam three while Jon Pearson, Charlie Morrison and Mal Galloway each won a ball. 30 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES Thursday, 3 December, 2020

KAHLER AND WRIGHT INTO FINAL Majella Kahler secured the final position in Division 1 of Warwick Ladies Medal of Medallist Final with a win the stroke event played on Wednesday Nov 25. Kahler had to survive a count back when she and Judy Lester each returned scores of nett 69. Lester may have had to settle for the runner’s up position for the last positions up but was successful in the putting for division one1, with 28 putts. A count back was also required to determine the winner of Division 2. Michelle Wright left it until the last round to gain her place in the finals. Wright taking line honours from her playing partner Dian MacDonald after both with 72 nett. The putting for Division Two was won by the ever consistent Yvonne Pinington, with 29 putts. Balls in the rundown were taken out by Anna Cox 71, Judy Stiff 73 (CB), Yvonne Pinington 73, and Dianne Evans 74 (CB). The extra balls in the rundown went to Tub Ingall 74 (CB), Ellie Casey 74, Jill Barnes 75, and Joan Burt 77 (CB). Congratulations also to the Wrights winning the double of the day with Peter taking

out the Men’s competition and Michelle doing the same in her division of the Mid-Week Medal. On Saturday, the winners monthly winners of Divisions 1 and 2o not only had to battle the course and each other but also the extreme heat as they headed out to contest the Medal of Medallists round, the culmination of months of monthly medals and midweek medals. The weather was hot but the scores were even hotter. Congratulations to Kath Devereux for her fantastic round of 65 nett to take out the Medal of Medallists Trophy. Her name will now be added to the Betty Phelan Honour Board. Devereux pipped Danielle Seibel by one shot in the nett with Danielle shooting her best ever gross round. There were smiles all round, as personal bests are very satisfying. Danielle may have missed the final Medal, but played superb golf and took out the Trophy of the day, kindly sponsored by the RSL. Gwen Mills also had a wonderful round finishing runner up with 67 nett. Balls in the rundown went to Yvonne Pinington with a fine 68, Judy Lester 71 (CB), Anna Cox 71 (CB), and Jill Barnes 71. The extra balls for the day went to Roslyn Darton 72, Samantha Hinze 73, Annice Payne 74, Tub Ingall 75 (CB). It brings to an end the Monthly and Midweek Medals for the year. The Ladies extend their sincere thanks to their sponsors, the Warwick RSL Memorial Club and the Condamine Sports Club whose trophies are always hotly contested. As the year draws to a close the scheduled ladies games will now be Single Stablefords from the red markers sponsored by KFC, Red Rooster and the final day on Dec 12, the Cherry Tree Coffee and Dining. The Christmas Party is scheduled for Wednesday Dec 9, when among other results the most successful Wednesday (Gillam Family Memorial Trophy) and Saturday player (Winter Cup) will be announced. A couple of hidden competitions to be announced are the International Bowl and the Golf QLD Foundation Brooch, in all three divisions. Eclectic scores for both playing days and the gobbles for the year will also be revealed. Be sure to get your names in if you have not already. There is currently a Christmas raffle in the clubhouse. The Committee would appreciate all members taking a book of tickets to sell. Our fundraising has been virtually non-existent throughout the year so it’s an opportunity to raise some money and give the lucky winner a Christmas lift. Best of luck to the 19 finalists playing the Shootout on Dec 13. The scores have been extraordinary through 2020. One of the positive things to come from no-one travelling as a result of Covid-19 appears to be the number of players who have honed their golfing skills. (Every cloud has a silver Lining don’t they say). There have been 17 rounds carding 40 points or above which has been very difficult to compete with. The shootout is sure to be a great day to watch so please spectators are very welcome. Tickets will be on sale for the Shootout winners in the near future.

CROQUET NUMBERS FEEL THE HEAT Croquet numbers were down a little in the past week - probably due to the hot conditions. The competition on the court was almost as hot as the temperature.

WANDERERS BAG ANOTHER WIN With the return of Rep cricket to the CF White Oval on Sunday, scheduled fixtures in the Stanthorpe and District Cricket competition were T20 games. On Sheehan Oval in very hot conditions Wanderers added another win to their 2020/21 tally with a win over RSL. After winning the toss Wanderers chose to bat first setting RSL a very gettable target of 97. Brendan Barker who has been in good form recently opened the innings with captain Brock Patti. Unfortunately for Wanderers supporters Barker was back in the club house without troubling the scoreboard attendant af-

SOUTH WIN IN CRUISE CONTROL In the second fixture game of round seven of the Stanthorpe and District Cricket Association competition, South’s scored a comprehensive win over Tenterfield. Tenterfield won the toss and elected to take first use of the CF White Turf in the very hot conditions. Although Tenterfield batted through the full 20 overs their batsmen had difficulties against ta South’s attack that managed to keep the run rate under control. At the end of the Tenterfield innings South’s were chasing a very moderate total of 87 to win. The Tenterfield top order collapsed after losing, Tyler Sargeant for a duck in the opening over. Geoff Swan came in first drop. His stay at the wicket short lived also out for a duck after he was run out by Dan Davies in the second over. The score 2/6. Ben Staley had Dave Fowler (3) run out only a few balls later and the top order was in disarray. Captain Adam Genninges was joined at the wicket by Luke Mayne and the pair set about building a partnership before Mayne (12) was dismissed with the score 4/39. Genninges (38) top scored and played a captain’s knock before Liam Lanza and Alex Cameron combined to bring about his dismissal with the score 5/68. Pat Skinner (11) was the only other Tenterfield player to make it to double figures as they crumbled to be out for 86. A total inflated by 14 extras. South’s reached the total with ease losing just one wicket on their way to a comfortable win. Captain Ben Staley opened the batting with Sachepal Singh and was the only batsmen dismissed. Staley was caught by Leeson off the bowling of Fowler for 22. The wicket falling midway through the ninth over with South’s cruising at 1/55. Singh (40) and Jordan Lanza (14) closed out the innings in the 12th over to give South’s their third win this season. In round eight Tenterfield take on Valley’s who are still chasing their first win of the 2020/21 season.

ROUND NINE CONDY CUP RESULTS Due to Sunday’s Mitchell Shield game played on Sunday at Slade Oval three games of the Condy Cup were played on Saturday. In round nine at Slade Oval, Redbacks chased down 218 to defeat Sovereign in a high scoring game. Batting first put together a decent score. Luke Cullen (83) top scored. Damien Canning added a handy 28. Dave Drewery (2/24) and Cam Lehman (2/46) the best with the ball. Steve Grogan has been in stunning form with the bat and on Saturday posted his third ton in four innings to help guide the Redbacks to an exciting win. Grogan was unbeaten on 139 when the Redbacks sailed past the required runs. In his last four knocks Grogan has scored 103, 63, 171 and on Saturday 139 (no) an average of over 158. An impressive record in anyone’s book. In the game between Allora and Colts. Colts set Allora a target of 276 after a John Cleary century. Cleary top scored with 117 and was well supported by Hugh Inmon 54. Will Ole 2/31 and Matt Higgins (A2/47) were the best of the of the Allora bowlers. In reply Allora fell well short out for 166 despite a good innings from Tim Kajewski who finished not out 75. Best of the rest was Jamie Holmes 29. Morgan Bourke finished with 3/27 and Alistair Costello 2/2. Victoria Hill batsman Joe Morris was another on the century band wagon last weekend. Morris scored 140 runs to help set up a big target of 309 for the Wheatvale batsmen. Nick Morris (56) also got amongst the runs as the Wheatvale bowlers copped plenty of punishment from the batsmen. At the end of the innings Victoria Hill were 8/309 and Wheatvale were facing an uphill battle. Despite a gallant 43 from Hayden Doherty Wheatvale were dismissed for 96 on the back of a good performance with the ball from the Vic Hill attack which included 3/40 from Tim Exelby 3/40 and Will Duff took 1/2

STANTHORPE IN BOX SEAT Stanthorpe is in the box seat in the race for the 2020/21 Mitchell Shield after scoring a comprehensive win over Central Downs in Sunday’s rep cricket game at the CF White Oval. The 77 run victory earned the home team two points bonus points and Stanthorpe now sit on 14 points at the top of the table. In Sunday’s game Central Downs won the toss and in the sweltering conditions put the home side in to bat a move which may have proved their undoing. Ben Staley and Jordan Lanza put on an opening stand of 71 before Staley (30) was dismissed, caught by Dhillon off the bowling of Nic Budden. Brock Patti came and went cheaply as Lanza built on his score. Jamie Carnell (22) and Lanza took the score to 131 in the 29th over. Harry Williams stay at the wicket was short lived bringing Aiden Halford to the

crease. With Lanza seeing the ball well the pair took the score to 166 before Lanza (77) was stumped midway through the 37th over. The score a healthy 5/166. Andrew Einam held up his end watching tail-enders come and go. He was not out 21 when he ran out of batting partners with the score 218 after 48 overs. 218 is a gettable total in a 50 over game but the Central Downs innings got off to a poor start when Andrew Einam had opener Budden out lbw early in the innings with the score 1/19. The Stanthorpe bowlers dominated the batting line up and wickets fell with the score at 30; 63; 74; 84; 104; 119 and 127 before Central Downs were dismissed with for 141 the still 10 overs remaining. Harry Williams finished with three wickets and figures of 3/25 from seven overs including one maiden. Jordan Lanza bowled nicely taking two wickets. His 10 overs included three maidens. Round three of the Mitchell Shield will be played on December 13 when Stanthorpe host arch rivals Warwick at the CF White Oval.

WARWICK OUT MUSCLED IN MITCHELL BATTLE The Warwick Bulls will be keenly chasing a win when they play Stanthorpe in the next round of the Mitchell Shield after their loss at the hands of Toowoomba last weekend. Warwick won the toss and in heatwave conditions sent the visitors in to bat. A Century from Jacob Porter was well backed up by Toowoomba Captain Cody Walker who scored 45 as the visitors set Warwick at chase of 280 runs. Tom Morris was the best of the Warwick bowlers claiming four scalps including the dismissal of Porter for 117. His figures 4/33from nine overs. With a strong batting line up and on their home turf Warwick would have fancied their chances to chase down the required runs. Things did not go exactly to plan when openers Andrew Ryan and Mick Bourke were back in the clubhouse after only nine deliveries had been bowled. The scoreboard did not look pretty at 2/12. Luke Cullen’s stay at the wicket was also short lived out for four. Sean Bryson and captain John Cleary looked to steady the ship. After being 3/17 the pair took the score to 4/121 before Bryson was out for 19. Cleary went on to add another ton to his record before he fell for 113 with the score at 6/162. Tom Morris gave the Warwick supporters some slim hope. He was the last man dismissed for 37 in just the 39th over. The visiting bowling attack proving too strong for the home side. Harry Meiklejohn finished with 3/28 from eight overs. Cody Walker also bagged three wickets while behind the wickets Sam Healy took three catches. Warwick has dropped to third on the Mitchell Shield ladder behind Stanthorpe and Toowoomba.

Members of the Stanthorpe Bowls club are reporting that the sheer pleasure of being out in the cool night air is making twilight bowling the place to be each Thursday evening between 6.30pm and 8.30pm and the numbers playing are testament to the fact. Last Thursday there was once again an excellent roll up with 3 attending last week and bookings confirmed for some players into the New Year. The Club’s B grade singles competition is drawing to a close. David Rose defeated Jack Bell in a mid-week game to book his spot in the final. Last Wednesday two games of social bowls (pairs) were played. Ernie Jones and Gary Trevana proved too strong for Gordon Gallaway and Bruno Stefanon. The score 26-9. On another rink Luisa Girgenti and Brian Brown defeated Val White and Mark Wicks 16-12 in a close game. Due to the unprecedented weather conditions all social bowling has reverted to a 9.30am start. Last Saturday was the first morning turnout with two games of three bowl triples played. Bruno Stefanon, Mark Wicks and Dot Rankin narrowly outpointed Luisa Girgenti, Helen Jones and Ray Rankin 15-12. Gordon Gallaway, Ernie Jones and Len Girgenti put the game well out of the reach of G Gallaway Jack Bell and Brian Brown. The final score 23-10. A reminder that if you would like to play Twilight Bowls, please confirm by calling the club (468 11276) between 5.30pm and 6.00pm. Bowls, music and bar are all available. You simply need flat soled shoes or bowl barefoot. It really is great fun. This week the club thanks Natalie and Mark from A Better Way to Print for their continuing support.

ter facing only two deliveries, clean bowled by Tom Garland. His opening partner had more success. Patti was the mainstay of the innings scoring 45 from 31 deliveries before he was caught and bowled by youngster Ryan Hines in an impressive individual performance. Aiden Halford batted well scoring 15 off 14 deliveries before he became Garland’s second victim. The very next ball Garland had his third scalp for the day when he ran out the dangerous Jamie Carnell for a duck. The only other batsman to make it to double figures was Barry Bulow. His 11 runs coming off 23 deliveries. The Wanderers tail made hard work of the bowling attack. Sam Dowie claimed two wickets in three balls to wrap up the Wanderers innings. Dowie finished with 3/2 from 1.4 overs. Tom Garland also took three wickets and Ryan Hines picked up a pair. In reply the RSL innings did not go the way they hoped from the outset. After good performances with the ball, openers Sam Dowie and Tom Garland failed to trouble the RSL attack. Garland out in the first over caught by Brock Patti off the bowling of Andrew Einam for a duck. Dowie (3) followed only a couple of deliveries later bowled by Tim Harslett 3. The score 2/4. It more or less set the pattern of the day as top order wickets tumbled. At the halfway mark RSL were 4/17 requiring 81 off the remaining 10 overs. Not impossible but when Perritt and Lihou were dismissed by consecutive deliveries in the 12th over things were looking grim. Rohan Brady scored 15 from 18 and Hines 10 runs from nine deliveries before RSL were out for 68 falling well short of the target. Brendan Barker troubled the RSL top order and finished with 3/9 from four overs. Ned O’Reilly only came on in the 16th over and picked up three wickets. His figures 3/9 from 1.4 overs. The win cements Wanderers’ position at the top of the competition leader board with 20 points. This weekend Wanderers have a bye while RSL go head to head with South’s; Wanderers have the bye.
