Carting keeps up By Jeremy Sollars Despite some significant falls of rain - at least in places - across the region since Christmas our major dams remain low and carting of water from Warwick to Stanthorpe is set to continue for the foreseeable future, with State Government funding in place until at least June. Heavy yet relatively isolated falls in eastern parts of the Warwick area - such as Killarney have seen some creeks run with a ‘fresh’, but crucially the Leslie and Connolly dam catchments in Warwick and Storm King Dam in Stanthorpe have seen next to no inflow in recent days. Leslie Dam this week is at 12.3 per cent of full capacity with just over 13,000 megalitres (ML) in storage - still well short of the 15,000ML level needed to allow releases for downstream farmers. The much smaller Connolly Dam - which is currently set aside for the Stanthorpe supply is just under 80 per cent full with 1709ML in storage, while Storm King Dam is at just over 21 per cent, with 430ML, enough to supply Stanthorpe with water for four months if it was
currently ‘online’. The council has said Storm King would need to reach at least a six-month supply level before being re-activated for Stanthorpe’s urban water supply. For its part the council says overall water consumption across Stanthorpe has in recent months been less than anticipated - despite all towns in the region continuing to exceed the 120 litre per person-per day water consumption target, averaging between 150 to 165 litres daily per person - which means the current carting arrangement can stay in place well past February, when it was originally forecast to be re-negotiated. Under the arrangement - which has been in place for 12 months, with carting having commenced this same week back in January of 2020 - the council foots the $800,000 monthly bill for the carting operation and is reimbursed by the State Government. Mayor Vic Pennisi and council chief executive officer Dave Burges this week told the Free Times the current funding deal should last until June of this year based on current Stanthorpe water consumption levels, at which point the SDRC
and the government will formally review the agreement. For her part, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said at the start of 2020 that she would “not allow” any town in Queensland to run out of water on her watch. But also in January of last year, on a flying visit to Warwick, the Premier announced plans to build a pipeline from Toowoomba to Warwick, to allow the region to access future emergency water from Brisbane’s Wivenhoe Dam, which currently supplies Toowoomba in times of need through an existing $187 million pipeline across the range. Ms Palaszczuk said last January - pre-Covid - that work on the pipeline could commence by the end of 2020 but since then the silence on the project from the Premier has been deafening. The Free Times asked State Water Minister Glenn Butcher for an update on the pipeline this week and received the following response “Water security in the Toowoomba and Darling Downs region is a high priority for the Palaszczuk Government,” the minister said. “We’re in the process of considering the
Toowoomba to Warwick Pipeline report including taking into account the needs of both the Toowoomba and Southern Downs councils. “I have already had a conversation with Toowoomba Regional Council Mayor Paul Antonio regarding water security in the region and plan to speak with Southern Downs Regional Council Mayor Vic Pennisi in the coming weeks. “I welcome the opportunity to continue working collaboratively with both councils into the future.” It is understood the Southern Downs Regional Council has had in its possession for several months a report on the pipeline prepared by Wivenhoe Dam operator Seqwater but despite requests from the Free Times for more information the report remains confidential. Cr Pennisi has several times expressed concern about the potential cost to our region of the pipeline project, if the State Government were to pass on a share of the construction to local ratepayers - total project estimates based on the cost of the Wivenhoe-Toowoomba pipeline put the Toowoomba-Warwick project at least at $90 million.

The editor’s desk We’re a few days ahead of Australia Day with this week’s edition but it’s wonderful to be able to share in advance on 26 January the local winners of Citizen of the Year and other awards announced by the Southern Downs Regional Council for 2021. What I like about the council’s Australia Day awards program is that it not only recognises individuals for their contributions to and achievements in our communities - including our region’s young achievers - but it also highlights events from the region. As we all know so well, many of those events are only made possible by the energy and work ethic of so many volunteers, whether they be events of a sporting, historical or cultural kind. The term ‘local hero’ is at times a little overused, but our communities large and small across the Southern Downs and Granite Belt are made up of such heroes. In my experience they do what they do without seeking reward or recognition and can at times be reluctant - even embarrassed - to be highlighted with a formal award. In any case, a hearty congratulations to the 2021 winners. On the subject of Australia Day, there’s been widespread discussion across the country about the national anthem in the lead-up to celebrations this year. I consider myself a patriot, but I don’t believe I am alone in wondering if rather than just changing words here and there it isn’t perhaps time to consider if we could do better for an anthem overall. Maybe it’s because as a first generation Aussie from a Pommy migrant family - of which I am proud, just saying - I feel to some extent I look at things both up close but also from a short distance away, if that makes sense. ‘Advance Australia Fair’ has never really tugged at my own heartstrings, as much as I try to force it. Does it really bring a lump to the throat? I often find myself contrasting it with, for example, ‘God Defend New Zealand’ - in my opinion a cracker of a national anthem which I’ve always found particularly moving. They sure belt that one out across The Ditch. Time to hold another national songwriting competition and see what we can come up with?

‘K hubs’ coming to town By Jeremy Sollars The Target Country outlet in Warwick closed last Saturday 16 January and will re-open as a ‘K hub’ on Thursday 4 February. Target and Kmart last year announced the Target outlets in both Warwick and Stanthorpe would convert to K hubs in “early 2021”. The Stanthorpe Target Country outlet will close on Saturday 6 February and re-open as a K hub on Wednesday 24 February. A Kmart spokeswoman said the Warwick Target premises will remain closed while the internal fitout for the new K hub is completed prior to its 4 February opening. A ‘K hub’ is a small-format Kmart outlet, in a similar way to Target Country being a ‘small format’ of that retail chain. The Kmart spokeswoman told the Free Times all staff of both the Warwick and Stanthorpe Target Country stores will be offered re-deployment with K hub but final staffing numbers for the new stores are yet to be fully determined. “At Kmart, we’re on a mission is to make everyday living brighter for Australian families,” the spokeswoman said. “Giving them easy access to the everyday items they need, at the lowest possible price. “It’s how we make shopping more accessible to more people; and that’s at the heart of everything we do. “We’re committed to opening stores in new communities so that we can reach even more people - and we can’t wait to introduce the communities of Warwick and Stanthorpe to our brand new concept K hub store. “The support we have received from regional communities so far, has been overwhelming. “Customers are loving the great value, ontrend products we have on offer. “Think of it as the Kmart experience ... a
little closer to home. “We’ve taken our most popular Kmart products across kids, home and clothing; and brought them to life in a new way. “A collection inspired for a smaller format store, with bigger convenience in mind.
“Our K hub customers have the ability to shop Target’s full product range online, then visit us instore to collect items with no additional shipping cost. “We’ll be extending this service in early 2021, to include our friends at Catch and we’ll be add-
ing Kmart’s entire product range then too. “Customers will also have the ability to drop-off online returns for any of these brands. So, think of K hub as your one-stop-shop for all your favourite Kmart, Target and Catch products.”

Ten FM: Live from town By Jess Baker Ten FM took to the airwaves from its new Stanthorpe studio on Marsh Street for the very first time last Monday. Radio announcer and Stanthorpe Community Radio Association secretary Peter Robinson said the new studio will allow the station to expand local content and increase community engagement. “We know several local people who have been trained for radio but haven’t been able to get to Tenterfield ... they can, however, get to this studio,” said Peter. “We can also have people like the Mayor and Chamber of Commerce representatives in for interviews, and we can train people in the building. “We’ve had 12 high school students in for training so far.” Up until last week, some local radio presenters would spend hours travelling to and from the Tenterfield station. Ron Look, the station’s country and rock program presenter, is one of several who will benefit from the new location. “Having a Stanthorpe studio means I don’t have to travel to Tenterfield and home every Monday ... which is a nightmare, especially with all the roadworks,” said Ron. “I’d leave here at 8.30am our time and hopefully I’d get to Tenterfield in time to do my show - sometimes I wouldn’t get up there until half past 11.” Peter said the station is on the lookout for new presenters with a passion for music, and people as young as 13 can get involved. “We’re not desperately short of presenters, but it’s very good to introduce new people who have fresh ideas and we do have plenty of spare time into which they could put in new programs,” he said. “A lot of people - especially retirees - would

“I’m much happier since getting into radio,” he said. “It’s the best move I’ve ever made ... other than marrying my wife.” Despite an influx of music streaming services in recent years, Peter said community radio remains as important as ever because “it gets people involved”. “There’s a constant flow of local news and local information that you don’t get when you’re just streaming on your iPad, and that’s why a lot of people listen,” he said. “We cater for a wide range of tastes in music, and we even do live broadcasts when the shows are on. “We’re also in touch with all of the emer-
gency services people like the SES and the RFS so they can immediately contact us with news and we can inform the community.” The new studio is situated in a central location on Marsh Street, in the annexe to the Council’s Civic Centre building across from Weeroona Park. “We appreciate the use of this building at a very reasonable rent,” said Peter. “We wouldn’t be here without the Southern Downs Council.” Ten FM broadcasts are relayed from Mount Marlay on 98.7 FM for the area around Stanthorpe and on 89.7 FM for surrounding areas of the Granite Belt.
Warwick crime update: Minor incidents, stay alert By Jess Baker Crime in Warwick has been “fairly consistent” lately, says acting officer-in-charge Cameron Slater. “There’s been a couple of vehicle breakins, usually by associates of the vehicle owners,” he said. “But this week has been pretty good so far.” Sgt Slater said there was one report of a stolen vehicle last week, which is yet to be located. “The vehicle (a black 2002 Subaru Liberty Sedan, with registration plate number TA270M) was reported stolen at 12.00am on the 14th of January,” said Sgt Slater. “It is understood the offenders entered through the backyard.” Warwick police were also alerted to a break and enter last week, on Wednesday 13
January, at a residence on Alexandra Drive. “(The break and enter) occurred between 6.00am and 3.30pm – so during the day – and it appears someone entered the dwelling through the back door,” said Sgt Slater. “The suspect has taken a heap of gift cards valued at $130, as well as $100 cash. “It looks like the back door was unlocked.” Warwick officers are investigating the incident, but there are no suspects as of Friday 15 January. Police also attended a two-vehicle noninjury traffic incident last week, investigated “a few minor drug possessions”, and received a report of graffiti on the footpath along Guy Street by Warwick State High School. To speak to Warwick Police, call (07) 4660 4444. If you or someone you know is in danger, or a crime is happening now, phone Triple Zero (000).
Warwick Police Station’s acting officer-in-charge Cameron Slater said crime has been “fairly consistent”.

IN BRIEF Under contract The former Bunnings site on Palmerin Street in the Warwick CBD is currently under contract to an out-of-town potential buyer. A spokesman for Colliers International Real Estate said the buyer cannot be identified at this stage as the contract for sale is pending, and is an ‘extended’ contract, meaning it could be six to eight weeks before the settlement is finalised if the sale proceeds. The Palmerin Street site - which has carparking space available with access from Albert Street - has been vacant since the new Bunnings outlet in Warwick opened in late 2018. Colliers has previously marketed the former Bunnings site as having the potential to be redeveloped into several small commercial tenancies, or as a whole for a larger retailer or other commercial business. The current owner is understood to be based outside of the Warwick region.
Rates notices out soon The Southern Downs Regional Council says the next round of rates notices - for the second half of the current 2020-2021 financial year will be issued and sent out from this coming Monday 25 January. Councillors elected at the 2020 election decided in June of this year to split the region’s rates into two six-monthly notices, as part of compiling the current budget. As part of financial measures designed to lessen the impact of Covid-19 a zero rates rise ‘freeze’ was applied to the first half-yearly rates, but councillors decided in November to apply a 1.9 per cent increase to the second round of rates. “Ratepayers can pay the next notice in advance and their account will be credited,” a council spokeswoman said this week. “The total percentage of rates collected from the first half yearly rates notice by the due date of 9 October 2020 was 85.72%. “The total currently collected as at 14 January 2021 is 94.06%.” Mayor Vic Pennisi said late last year rates increase overall for 2020-2021 will be the “lowest” such increase during his 16 years as a councillor.
SDRC rates notices are due to be sent our shortly...
Charges update A murder charge against former Warwick resident Vincent O’Dempsey is due to be mentioned in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday 1 March 2021. O’Dempsey was charged in August 2019 with the alleged 1964 murder of Vincent Raymond Allen, and he first appeared in court in relation to the charge on Tuesday 20 August 2019. O’Dempsey has not yet been required to enter a plea and remains in custody. He is also facing charges relating to alleged drug production with a co-accused in relation to that matter, Keith Patrick McVeigh, 59, of Yangan. That matter had been due to go to trial on Monday 1 February this year in the Brisbane District Court but was de-listed in the first week of January, following a successful application to that court by O’Dempsey’s legal representative for a trial delay, on the basis of publication of a recent online podcast program containing content relating to O’Dempsey. The matter has instead been scheduled for a pre-trial hearing on Friday 19 February in the Brisbane District Court.
Replica rules Replica firearms, including gel blasters, are becoming increasingly popular in Queensland, leading to an increase in the number of stores and online retailers who specialise in these items.
The Queensland Police Service (QPS) are reminding Queenslanders who have purchased or are thinking of purchasing a replica firearm to familarise themselves with the change of Queensland legislation coming into place from Monday 1 February. The legislation details: Replica firearms, such as gel blasters, will not be classified as a firearm or category of weapon Replica firearms do not require a licence or need to be registered with Weapons Licensing When not in use, gel blasters must be stored securely, for example, in a locked cupboard or a bag, but not necessarily in a gun safe When being transported, a gel blaster has to be out of sight, for example, in the boot of a car or in a bag that does not silhouette a firearm Anyone owning a gel blaster must have a reasonable excuse for having one, for example, being a collector of replica weapons, or a member of a club that uses them recreationally. Acting Assistant Commissioner Brian Connors said since 2018, more than 100 people had been charged with misusing a gel blaster. “Replica firearms, such as gel blasters, can look similar to handguns, shotguns and rifles from around the world,” Acting Assistant Commissioner Connors said. “It is incredibly important for all people possessing replica firearms to familarise them-

· · · ·
selves with these new rules.” Acting Assistant Commissioner Connors said the QPS commenced an awareness campaign on the responsible use and possession of gel blasters in 2019 with the support of the industry. “The ‘Stop and Think’ campaign will continue to promote the safe use of gel blasters as a popular pastime, support small businesses that sell equipment and supplies, and ensure community safety,” he said. “The public’s safety is of the utmost importance. “Gel blasters and other replicas can look very similar to real firearms, and we don’t want them used to threaten people or commit crimes. “We want to see all owners adhering to the new legislation with responsible storage, transportation and use of Gel Blasters. “We continue to encourage members of the public to report inappropriate behaviour.” For more information on replica firearms isit https://www.police.qld.gov.au/units/ weapons-licensing.
Recycle gifts Vinnies is calling on Queenslanders to declutter their cupboards and ‘re-gift, reuse and recycle’ unwanted Christmas gifts to help change the lives of people in need this festive season and into the new year. Vinnies says whether the unwanted items don’t fit, won’t be used, or simply aren’t your style, all donations will not only contribute to the wellbeing of another person in need, but will also save unwanted gifts from ending up in landfill. Vinnies Queensland General Manager of Operations Drew Eide said the simple act of donating second-hand gifts and other unused items will have a significant impact on helping Vinnies fund its vital work in Queensland communities. “If you’re struggling to find room for all that stuff, your ‘unwanted item’ might be the perfect ‘treasure’ that someone else is searching for,” he said. “No matter how plain or quirky, Vinnies welcomes all donations of useable gifts that are in good condition including quality clothing, furniture and household items.”

Gallery talks pending By Jess Baker Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) held a “Special Meeting of Council” yesterday (20 January) to discuss plans to “enhance” and “expand” the Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery (SRAG). It is understood the meeting was held in response to a presentation to Council by Gallery Director Mary Findlay that highlighted safety concerns with the existing space. According to the presentation, SRAG meets all National Standards for Australian Museums and Galleries “except the guidelines related to the safety and security of the collection due to the current building”. Mary said there is a significant risk to the publicly owned $4 million collection of works stored in the “one and only” room beneath the Gallery, as it is in close proximity to the building’s electrical switchboards. “It’s been a fire hazard for 32 years, but it was only really brought to attention when I started working at the Gallery (in 2016),” said Mary. “We got really congested and there were workplace health and safety issues, so I asked the fire brigade to come in and audit. “The fire crew told me it was a really, really huge risk and I’d have to manage it… but it’s not been managed – I can’t mitigate that risk.” To do nothing is no longer an option, said Mary, so she decided to build a presentation for Council in the hopes it would “influence SDRC to decide to be proactive”. The presentation included several options for Council to consider, including building a storage shed, expanding existing space, and building a new Gallery. “When I first started at the Gallery, we were talking about an extension,” said Mary. “But in the last two and a half years, the major talk has been about a new Gallery. Mary said this option would not only support economic diversification of the region, but would also work to “future-proof the community”. “This gallery punches way above its weight – people come back again and again, and we run at a really professional level… we’re really proud of everything we do,” she said. “Philip Bacon, (who runs) the longest standing independent art gallery in Australia, will be our opener for the Art Prize this year. “We attract all sorts of people here, so why shouldn’t (Council) capitalise on something that is doing really great work?” This year’s Stanthorpe Art Prize – to be held from 19 February to 18 April – is expected to draw 250 visitors on opening night (mostly from out of town) and 2000 visitors throughout the exhibition period. Mary said spectator numbers have increased considerably in the last five years, but are now limited due to the “size restraints” of the Gallery. Council has emphasised it will need to rely on state and federal government grants to fund the design and construction of a new Gallery, if that is the option chosen. “The next decision (Council will make) is
Gallery Director Mary Findlay said keeping the $4 million collection in close proximity to the building’s electrical switchboards is a fire hazard. whether to go for a new gallery, or an extension, or a shed,” said Mary. “And whether or not to apply for the Building Better Regions Fund.” Applications for the $1.04 billion Building Better Regions Fund (BBRF) – which supplies grants of $20,000 to $10 million to cover 50 percent or more of eligible project costs – must be submitted by interested councils before 5 March. “Time is limited,” said Mary. “We need to make the decision now so we can work with SDRC to make sure that’s the best application that can go in. “Generally what you do is apply for Building Better Regions, and then there’s another state (program) called Building our Regions… so we would try and get money from the state as well.” Mary said SDRC and the Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery Committee worked together to build an application for the last round of the Building Better Regions program and submitted it “roughly a year ago”, but it was unsuccessful. “They’ve said a high percentage of the Building Better Regions Fund will go to the arts in regional Australia this year – so that’s a huge reason we should be going for it now,” she said. “Quite a significant sum of money is set aside for the arts, so if we did get that money it wouldn’t take away from (funding for) roads or Emu Swamp Dam or anything like that.” At the time of print (Tuesday 19 January), the Special Council Meeting to discuss the project had not yet occurred. However, it was recommended that Council decide to adopt ‘Option 4’ as the “preferred project for an enhanced art gallery in Stanthorpe”. This option would see “a significant build out on the northern and eastern sides of the existing gallery and the eastern side of the ex-

isting library”, and “may comprise additional space for education and workshops / staff / storage and gallery”. Council estimates this project would cost $4 million and would be a much cheaper alternative to building a new gallery (estimated to cost $12 million, according to the report) and to building a new gallery and additional community space (estimated to cost $18 million, according to the report). It was also recommended in the meeting that Council consult with the Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery Committee and, if the decision to proceed with Option 4 is supported by the Committee, lodge an application under the Building Better Regions Fund. To assist in the assessment of “optimum project selection”, a matrix that “identifies what Council must or should do and what would be nice to do” was included in the report. According to this matrix, the only issues Council “must” address are “art collection proximity to switchboard” and “safety and se-
curity of the collection”. The matrix identifies it would be “nice” to address constrained space throughout the gallery and library, and “aspirational” to address lack of space in relation to both exhibiting the permanent collection and to community gathering. Mary said she is hopeful the Gallery and SDRC will be successful in their application for a Building Better Regions Fund grant. “SDRC are really good friends of ours – they’re our main funder and they support us in so many ways,” said Mary. “I understand that they have competing issues, but I still think that (expanding the Gallery) is a great option for them and they should do it. “This (gallery) could be so much more.” To stay up to date with Gallery developments, watch for next week’s paper or visit www.freetimes.com.au.

Allora Heritage Weekend By Jess Baker Allora will celebrate its 25th annual Heritage Weekend at the showgrounds on 23 and 24 January as part of the town’s Australia Day celebrations. Warwick Veteran and Vintage Vehicle Club president Graeme McMillan said this year’s event will include everyone’s favourite displays and attractions – from vintage and veteran cars and trucks to Massey tractors, English bikes and Southern Cross engines. “You name it, it’s there,” he said. Thousands of attendees are expected to descend on Allora tomorrow evening for a 6.00am start Saturday morning. Graeme said organisers have gone to great lengths to ensure the event is Covid-safe. Guests will be required to sign in upon entrance, either electronically or manually, and
must use the EFTPOS facilities available at the gates. “We need to get away from handling money as much as possible,” said Graeme. Attendees will be allowed to camp from today (Thursday 21 January), but Graeme said spots are limited and certain Covid-19 regulations must be adhered to. Current guidelines also mean the annual dinner – to be held this Saturday – will have to be moved from the Allora Showgrounds to the Allora Sports Club. “There are about 130 tickets available for dinner that guests can book on the day,” said Graeme. “Admission will be $30 per person for the dinner or just $10 per adult for the day.” Graeme said there is no limit on numbers for daytime events, and guests will be able to purchase tickets at the gate.

Meet Ringmaster Teena Wilcock...
Cricket’s on By Jess Baker
By Jess Baker Born and raised 40 odd miles from Stanthorpe, and a member of the Stanthorpe Agricultural Society since 1985, Teena Wilcock has always been a fan of the Stanthorpe Show. “I competed in horse events as a child – from the early 1960s – and my father was the chief steward number two in the pony ring for more than 30 years,” said Teena. “Before him, my grandfather had the champion hack in 1948 and my grandmother had a school that entered school week in the very early 1900s. “She had a second place prize card that’s now in the museum.” Teena’s involvement in the Stanthorpe Show was destined from a young age, but no one could have predicted it would go down in history. “I was the first and only lady president of the show society in the whole 145 years of its existence,” she said. Today, Teena serves as Ringmaster and spends her days organising ring events for the Show, coordinating her team of more than 50 volunteers, and doing her part to ensure entertainment in the ring runs smoothly. “My favourite part of the Show is when I bring out the entertainment and see a big crowd gathered around the ring watching what’s going on,” said Teena. “Being the Ringmaster is not an enviable job, but there’s a great sense of satisfaction when you eventually pull off a really good show.” After the year that’s been, Teena said the
Stanthorpe Show Ringmaster Teena Wilcock said this year’s Show is one not to miss. 2021 Stanthorpe Show provides an important opportunity for residents of the district to connect and enjoy themselves. “Our opportunities have been fairly restricted in the last few months, so this show is a good way to look to the year in front of us and say, ‘we’ve started the year well, now let’s keep it going’,” she said. The 145th Stanthorpe Show will be held at the Stanthorpe Showgrounds from Friday 29 January to Sunday 31 January, and the Stanthorpe Agricultural Society highly recommends guests purchase memberships to make

contact tracing as simple as possible. Memberships must be purchased from the Stanthorpe Showgrounds prior to the Stanthorpe Show, and are currently priced at $20 for singles and $40 for families. Alternatively, admission to each day of the Stanthorpe Show can be purchased separately and at the gate at $15 for adults, $5 for children, and $5 for pensioners.

Despite concern about the fate of this year’s Australia Day Cricket Carnival, hundreds of cricketers are set to arrive in Warwick this weekend to participate. Warwick Cricket Association president Andrew Bryson said cooperation in following all government Covid-19 regulations will allow the carnival to go ahead as planned. “We’re taking advice from Queensland Cricket and Cricket Australia, and making sure we follow all Covid-19 guidelines,” said Andrew. “We’re in the same boat as everyone else right now – we’re going full steam ahead but keeping an eye on how things develop.” At this stage, Andrew expects the carnival will draw about 600 cricketers to town. “31 teams have been nominated this year for the Australia Day carnival,” said Andrew. “We are down about two teams from last year, but that’s just because Australia Day doesn’t fall on a long weekend this year.” The Australia Day carnival often serves as an opportunity for those born and raised in Warwick to return to their roots, said Andrew. “It’s not a deadly serious competition – a lot of people who grew up in Warwick view it as a good opportunity to come back and see family and friends,” he said. “Cricketers from as far south as Casino and as far north as the Sunshine Coast are participating. “It really is a great weekend for everyone, whether you’re a cricketer or a spectator.” More In Casey’s Spin...

New meeting schedule By Jeremy Sollars New monthly ‘information sessions’ held by Southern Downs councillors will be open to the public and to the local media but agendas will not be published online and minutes will not be taken. Councillors this month began a new meeting arrangement involving the information sessions being held on the third Wednesday of each month, alternating between the Warwick and Stanthorpe meeting chambers. The council currently holds two monthly general meetings on the second and last Wednesdays of each month - at which formal and binding decisions are made and again alternating between the two towns. Public and media attendance is allowed providing social distancing is complied with. The monthly information sessions were introduced this month with little or no apparent fanfare, with the Free Times only learning of their introduction during a weekly media conference with Mayor Vic Pennisi and council CEO Dave Burges, held after the first such session itself was held last Wednesday 13 January in Warwick. We later asked for a copy of the agenda, which shows the topic discussed included: Media and Communications Long Term Financial Forecast and Second Quarter Budget Review Invasive Pest Control Scheme Building Better Regions Funding Applications Draft Road and Place Naming Policy Oxenham and Bakon Street Stormwater Drainage Bisley Street Stormwater Drainage While we were not at the session - as we weren’t advised it was on - a council source has told the Free Times the discussion about the Invasive Pest Control Scheme (IPCS) was
· · · · · · ·
around its re-introduction next financial year (2021-2022) and options around potential penalties to be applied to non-compliant landholders. The controversial scheme is on hold - under a ‘moratorium’ in the current financial year, part of the council’s Covid-19 financial relief measures - and had previously subjected rural landowners to a second annual rates bill if they failed to control pest plants and animals. The deeply-unpopular IPCS is widely seen as a key factor in former Mayor Tracy Dobie’s election loss in 2020, with many rural landholders objecting to heavy financial penalties for weed control during the worst drought in the region’s history. While the council had indicated information sessions would only be held once a month, another one was scheduled for yesterday, Wednesday 20 January, also in Warwick. The council provided the Free Times with the agenda upon request, with items as follows: Southern Downs Refugee and Migrant Network re Refugee Welcome Zone Amiens Legacy Centre - Stage 2 Project Capital Works Project Review Warwick Saleyards Fleet Replacement Program Condamine River Road Update The introduction of the information sessions follows the scrapping in late 2020 of a previous system of councillors committees and councillor portfolios set up by the new Pennisi administration when it came to office. The committee system was seen to be unworkable and was replaced with the two monthly general meetings. Members of the public can register to attend the information sessions (due to Covid-19 requirements) on the third Wednesday of each month by calling the SDRC on 4661 0351. Next month’s session will be held in at the Stanthorpe Civic Centre.

Investigation “continues” The Southern Downs Regional Council says an internal investigation into a complaint referred to the SDRC by the Crime and Corruption Commission Queensland (CCC) in late 2020 is continuing. The Free Times was first made aware of the matter several months ago but for legal reasons - namely the risk of potential defamation action against us - we cannot currently publish details of the nature of the complaint, acknowledging that at this time the information
we have has been provided to us by sources outside of the council. Mayor Vic Pennisi has only confirmed that an investigation is proceeding and has not been concluded as yet. Cr Pennisi released this statement the Free Times late last week in relation to the matter “At this point in time, and respecting the internal investigation, it is not appropriate to discuss the matter until the process is complete,” he said. “Once we have an outcome, we will be happy to discuss the matter.”

Australia Day winners... By Jess Baker Southern Downs Regional Council has announced its 2021 Australia Day Awards winners. Nine residents “from all corners” of the Southern Downs have been recognised for their contributions to community, cultural events, and sport, and will be honoured at Tuesday’s citizenship ceremonies in both Stanthorpe and Warwick. Stanthorpe resident Debbie-Ann Wilmot was named the 2021 Southern Downs Citizen of the Year, for her selfless and generous work with groups such as the Stanthorpe Cancer Support Group, Stanthorpe Sports Association, Stanthorpe Agricultural Society, and many more. Mayor Vic Pennisi congratulated all the nominees and the award winners for their achievements and contributions over the years. “These community members set a shining example and are a proud testimony of the citizens we have here on the Southern Downs - they are my inspiration,” said Cr Pennisi. “All of the nominees and the award winners are worthy of recognition and all have made selfless sacrifices and achieved great things. “These Australia Day Awards allow us as a community to say thank you and recognise some of the community members who have gone above and beyond the call of duty, and mostly after hours.” For the full list of award winners, see below: Southern Downs Citizen of the Year 2021 Debbie-Ann Wilmot Citizen of the Year Award 2021 - Northern Region - Sharlene (Franky) Horton Citizen of the Year Award 2021 - Southern Region - Debbie-Ann Wilmot Junior Citizen of the Year Award 2021 Northern Region - Ella Winfield

Warwick Bridge notes... Last Monday saw seven tables in action, the highest number of the new year and for most of the last nine months. Members were rewarded with several hands that could be called “interesting.” Board 5 is a good example. No-trump contracts are usually associated with balanced hands, but Lois James/Sandra Head and Hilary Richardson/Ros Hart did not pay any attention to that. With one six-card suit in each hand, they found the excellent contract of 3NT by East in which they made all thirteen tricks. At both tables the three of hearts was led. North sacrificed the King in order to promote partner’s Queen, but to no avail. It was logical for declarer then to start on the spade suit. After cashing the top two spades declarer had to decide whether the defenders’ spades split 3-3 or 4-2. If South held four spades to the Jack and three diamonds including the Queen, the contract might fail. In both cases the third spade hit the table, crushing the Jack and allowing all six spades to make. Then the Jack of diamonds was led, trapping North’s Queen. Six diamond tricks were now added to the seven already made. South’s Ace of clubs became irrelevant.
The Executive, who have guided us through the difficulties caused by the pandemic: Claire Duggan (Vice-President), Angus Macdonald (President), John Nankervis (Treasurer), Mary Johnston (Secretary). At another table Claire Duggan found the unusual, but very effective lead, of the Ace of clubs and followed with a small club. This resulted in declarer making only nine tricks for a second bottom score.

Top study tips
Granite Belt Cleaning and Hospitality Supplies’ back to school range includes reusable lunch wraps, stainless steel drink bottles, and more.
‘Litterless’ lunch times By Jess Baker To kids, one of the most exciting parts of beginning a new school year is going shopping for new school supplies, choosing lunch boxes and water bottles. Granite Belt Cleaning and Hospitality Supplies’ back to school range of lunch-packing items will not only make lunch time more fun, but also better for the environment. “We sell a range of lunchboxes and drink bottles – all from the Oasis brand,” said Lynsey Colyer of GB Cleaning and Hospitality Supplies.
Study isn’t just for the night before an assignment’s due or the night before an exam. It’s never too early - or too late - to develop good study habits. The sooner you get into a good study groove, the easier everything will be and the more your chances of getting good marks will improve. Top tips for getting the most out of study ... 1. Pick a place and time Everyone has their own idea about the best place and time to study. Whether it’s your bedroom at night or the library after school, find a study space and a regular study time that works for you and stick with it. Set up your study space - Your study space should be quiet, comfortable and distraction-free. It should make you feel happy and inspired. Decorate it with your favourite pictures or objects. If you want to listen to music or burn incense, pick a space that lets you do that. Find your best time - Some people work better in the morning. Others work better at night. Work out which time suits you and plan to study then. Don’t study much later than your usual bedtime - pushing yourself late at night can make you too tired to study properly. 2. Study every day If you study a little bit every day you’ll be continually reviewing things in your mind. This helps you understand things. It also helps you avoid the stress of last-minute cramming. Early in the year an hour or two a night might be enough to stay on top of things. Later in the year you might need to study more each day. If you’re finding it hard to find time to study, cut back on some (but not all!) of your other activities. Prioritising study might mean spending less time online, or it might mean cutting back on shifts at work, or giving weekend sport a miss for a while. 3. Plan your time It helps to have some plans in motion so you can make the most of your study time. Set alarms - Set alarms to remind you about your study plans. A regular reminder keeps you honest and your plans on track. Use a wall planner - Stick a calendar or wall planner up so you can see it whenever you’re studying. Mark it up with important dates, like exams and assignment due dates. Use it to block out your regular study timetable too. Make to-do lists - Lists break tasks down into manageable chunks. At the start of the week, make a list of the things that you need to have done by the end of the week. Make a to-do list at the start of each study session too, so that you’re clear about what you need to be doing with your time. Set time limits - Before you start your study session, have a look at your to-do list and give yourself a set time to spend on each task. If you don’t get something done in the set time, consider whether it’s the best use of your time to keep going with it, or to start working on something else. 4. Discover your learning style Most of us have a preferred way of learning. Get to know the learning style you’re most comfortable with and study in the ways you learn best. Note that these styles are just a way to think about diffent studying techniques they’re not hard and fast rules that say you should only study in one way. Try each of these out and see which ways you prefer. Auditory learners prefer to learn by listening. Try reading your notes aloud and discussing them with other people. You might like to record key points and play them back. Visual learners prefer to learn by seeing.

Try using colours in your notes and draw diagrams to help represent key points. You could try to remember some ideas as images. Tactile/kinesthetic learners prefer to learn by doing. Try using techniques like role-playing or building models to revise key points. 5. Review and revise At least once a week you should go back over the things you’ve studied in class. Thinking things over can help you to understand the concepts and help you remember when you need them the most. Quiz - Get a friend or family member to quiz you on key concepts. Offer to help your friends with their work too. Quizzes are great ways to get confident about what you know and find out what you still need to learn. Make your own study materials - Think up some practice exam questions or create your own flash cards to help you study. This way you learn it all twice: once when you make the study materials and once when you use them to revise. 6. Take breaks It’s important to take breaks while you’re studying, especially if you’re feeling tired or frustrated. Working too long on a task can actually decrease your performance. When you take a break, make sure you get away from your desk or study space. A bit of physical - even just a walk around the block - can sometimes help you to look at a problem in a different way and could even help you to solve it. 7. Ask for help If you’re stuck on something, or something just doesn’t seem to make sense, you can always ask for help. Talk to your teachers or lecturers about the things you don’t understand. Talk to your friends and fellow students too. 8. Stay motivated When you’re studying it helps to keep in mind your reasons for doing all this hard work, like a course or career you’re working towards. It can help to have something in your study space to remind you of your goals. You could also decorate your study space with inspirational quotes or photos of people you admire and family members you want to make proud of you. 9. App it up There are heaps of apps out there for helping students with all aspects of study. Have a chat with your friends and teachers or lecturers to see which apps they recommend. You should also check out the iTunes Collections page on iPads for Learning, which provides links to Australian Curriculum courses on iTunes U as well as educational apps aimed at high school, middle school and primary school students. 10. Look after yourself You’ll study better if you take care of yourself. Make sure you eat well and get enough sleep and physical exercise. Don’t reward yourself with too many sugary or fatty snacks or push yourself to study late into the night. It’s also a good idea to make sure you drink lots of water when you’re studying. Now come up with your own strategies These tips are only some of the things you can do to get the most out of your studying. You might already have other things that work better for you. Find out what your friends do when they’re studying. Maybe your teachers have some good recommendations too. Whatever it is, whatever strategy you come up with, when you find something that works for you, put it into practise and go for it!

‘Yarntopians’ gather... By Jeremy Sollars A number of the ‘Yarntopians’ got together last weekend at the Warwick Art Gallery for a casual craft afternoon as preparations for the 2021 Jumpers and Jazz in July Festival in Warwick get under way. Or, perhaps put more accurately, as preparations continue - with ‘J&J’ cancelled in 2020 a range of ideas and concepts which had been put together with so much passion ahead of last year’s festival have rolled over into 2021. The ‘Yarntopians’ are working on an installation for the Orange Wall Gallery - the front exhibition space at the Warwick Art Gallery, having previously exhibited in the foyer area. This year’s theme is ‘The Living Room’ and will feature life-sized textile representations of objects such as furniture, pot plants and lampshades, with a ‘vintage’ 1960s and 1970s theme.
As well as their local members, dozens of ‘Yarntopians’ from around Australia have sent contributions - through the mail - over several years now to be included in past gallery installations. The group also undertakes ‘Yarn Bombing’ projects of notable landmarks around the Warwick CBD in the leadup to Jumpers and Jazz, ‘dressing’ them in hand-crafted ‘jumpers’ to get into the winter spirit. The good news is that anyone can contribute - the movement is open to people of all skill levels and textile interests, be it knitting, crochet, macrame or simply stitching and ‘setting out’. Many more working bees will be held over the next several months - the best way to find out more is to visit the Warwick Art Gallery website where you’ll find links to the Jumpers and Jazz Festival. You can also receive free newsletter updates from the ‘Yarntopians’ simply email - loretta.grayson@sdrc.qld.gov.au

Stanthorpe & Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce president GRAHAM PARKER shares his thoughts on social media in the modern age...
Much better than devices
Facts, or just opinion?
I love reading and I spend a fair bit of my pocket money on books and newspapers. I am excited that on Friday the 22 of January to Sunday the 24th of January, St Paul’s Anglican Parish Stanthorpe will be holding its annual book sale at the church hall in Corundum Street. It will be free to attend and it is open each day from 10am to 4pm. They sell books like military history (which I think I will buy a lot of ) fiction, non-fiction, Australiana, gardening, children’s, biographies and craft. I have gone to the last book sale there and every church service I always
Welcome to 2021 everybody. Wow what a start. I am beginning to wonder if 2020 threw down the challenge and 2021 said “hold my beer”. The recent and sudden 3 day lockdown for greater Brisbane after a single case was announced. I heard the recent announcement that Victoria was opening up its borders again to Queenslanders. Only a month ago Qld was excluding Victorians and just about everyone else. The US Capitol building has been invaded by rioters and many towns in America are boarding up the windows as we head to the handover of office from Trump to Biden. We are less than 3 weeks in!! As I observe what little of the main stream media I can tolerate without getting angry, I turn to social media and online news outlets to try and make sense of the situation we are currently in and I am beginning to wonder what is in store for the world as we know it. Apparently, opinions are now news and the old practice of reporting on the facts objectively seems to be another casualty in the “information wars”. The algorithms of the big tech companies like Facebook, Google & Amazon determine what news and advertising you see. Have you ever noticed that you can have a conversation about something and suddenly you get ads for that same product through your news feed. Bizarre? No, just a reality of the times we are living in and the technology at our fingertips. Social media was always going to give conventional newspapers and TV stations a run for their money. Print and television have been heavily regulated for many decades but the speed of social media has seen them trying to compete on a very un-level playing field and online subscriptions and click bait stories will be the demise for many of the old school papers and TV programs. Is it all about the delivery? Not really, it is more about the content but the big tech companies have ultimate control over what you see. The saddest thing I find is that social media also emboldens people to respond to their fellow humans appallingly because they are not face to face with them. Just because you CAN say something to someone does not mean you should. I have received my fair share of messages from people giving me a character assessment because of a comment or an emoji I have contributed to a discussion. The old rule should apply, if you wouldn’t say it to a person’s face, you probably shouldn’t post it online. It was suggested to me that I should just block the detractors, but I have lived my adult life believing that other people’s opinions of me are none of my concern, and if my perspective of an issue causes someone to become abu-
d e h s i l b Pu
sive, it means they and not me are the one with a problem. But it’s not all bad. We all have the capacity to live in an information bubble from what is being fed to us, but we also have the capacity to find out the truth. I read a lengthy essay recently from a Facebook friend that lives and works in China. An intelligent, considered, articulate piece of writing from an expat whose posts I began following as Covid unfolded on the world. Real Truth, not “fake News”. Observations from a former detective. His essay was about the state of world politics and the Trump/Biden situation. I won’t go in to detail but the underlying message is that we all need to be kinder to each other. Be more considerate to others and begin to make a change in your own life that you would like to see in the world. We can complain or we can do something positive by getting our own house in order. Be kind, considerate, patient, compassionate ... ... ... just be nice! It costs nothing to be nice and maybe, just maybe, it can be the first step in taking back control of the “news” we are force fed.

looked forward till after when I could buy some books. I also look forward to other book sales like the annual one that the Warwick Club of Rotary Sunrise holds. It’s exciting to go in and not know what books I’ll find, but you can bet that mum and dad will walk out with a heavy load of books that I have chosen. And my favourite second hand book shop is the one in Charlotte Street in Brisbane City. The sign outside says “one million books” and if you go inside it is pretty true. I get to go there a few times a year when I’m in Brisbane with Dad for Parliament.

Treasurer Cameron Dick’s words - “from Cape York and Cairns To Coolangatta”. Among the long list of announcements was funding for the upgrading of the notorious Eight Mile intersection north of Warwick on the Cunningham and New England Highways, which has been the scene of numerous fatal accidents over the last few decades.

Project progress By Jeremy Sollars The community-owned commercial entity behind the proposed Emu Swamp Dam for Stanthorpe says sales of future water from the dam to primary producers have been completed and that its board is “very comfortable” with how the project is progressing. Granite Belt Water is the ‘proponent’ or driver of Emu Swamp Dam - otherwise known as the Granite Belt Irrigation Project (GBIP) and also says work on other key aspects such as land resumptions for the dam’s pipeline is continuing. But a final decision on the overall commencement of the project is yet to be made, with a potential construction start tentatively drawn in for mid-2021, after an initial projection that construction tenders would be issued in mid-2020 having been revised to February next year.
Apple product goes ‘up’
As the wider Southern Downs and Granite Belt regions continue to respond to the economic and production challenges of ongoing drought a new dam at Emu Swamp on the Severn River south-west of Stanthorpe has been promoted as a major future generator of jobs and water security for the Stanthorpe area. To date the project has been costed at $84 million, with the Federal Government having committed $47m and the Queensland Government $13m, with the remaining $24m in the form of ‘in principle’ private contributions from primary producers on the Granite Belt who would purchases allocations of water and contribute to the cost of construction and ongoing maintenance of the dam and associated pipeline infrastructure. Water from the dam would be transported to those properties via a pipeline network, the fi-
nal route of which is yet to be fully determined. Granite Belt Water chief executive officer Lloyd Taylor this week told the Free Times the company had finished water sales, with close to 50 producers having paid their initial investment contribution of four per cent of the capital construction costs. Mr Taylor said “a couple” of producers who had initially expressed interest in purchasing future water supplies from the dam had since withdrawn but all initial financial contributions had now been received from 48 individual producers, across the horticultural industry. Details of those producers remain confidential, with Mr Taylor saying their contributions had been placed in a trust account, with the current work on the project being funded by an advance payment of $6 million made by the Queensland Government earlier in 2020. Three major hurdles still to be cleared on

But basic details listed on the QBuild website state that offers from potential contractors are “invited for the construction of a Grade Separated Interchange (Overpass) at the Cunningham Highway intersection with the New England Highway (8 Mile Intersection)”. “Works include clearing, grubbing, excavation, embankment, asphalt construction, culvert works, Super T Girders and guidance delineation,” QBuild states. The project is to be constructed “under traffic on a full service basis”. For its part the Queensland Government has not confirmed the overpass will be built during the current financial year. But the $1.3 billion Federal roads package is understood to be tied to state projects which are “shovel-ready” or ready for construction to begin, in line with statements made by Premier Palaszczuk this week boasting that her government “gets deals done with Canberra”. “We have a real infrastructure plan with funding locked in that delivers jobs and strong economic outcomes for Queenslanders,” the Premier said. “We’ve successfully worked with the Federal Government to lock in more than $4.8 billion in new and accelerated joint funding for Queensland since last November. “Work hasn’t stopped in Queensland because of our strong response to managing the health crisis. “That means we are already delivering Queensland’s plan for economic recovery. “Thousands of workers have jobs because we’ve created a strong pipeline of projects that are shovel ready.” The Premier this week ruled out “deals” with minor parties in Queensland - such as One Nation, Katter’s Australian Party and The Greens - if the ALP fails to win a clear majority on Saturday 31 October. The LNP must win at least 47 of the 93 seats in Queensland. As it stands now the ALP has 48, the LNP 38 and the remaining seven seats belong to the minor parties and one independent. No pipeline announcement as yet Less certain than the Eight Mile intersection overpass is the proposed water pipeline from Toowoomba to Warwick Ms Palaszczuk announced during a visit to town in January of this year.

sales to 440 cents per kilo. “Heavy weight yearling steers made to 414 cents to average 387 cents per kilo.” One sale does not a season make but current prices may be the local reflection of what Rabobank at least sees as a ‘bullish’ start to the spring-summer period in our region. “Optimism among the state’s beef sector buoyed by strong cattle prices and favourable seasonal conditions - has seen Queensland rural confidence edge higher over the past quarter,” a Rabobank spokesman said. “While confidence among Queensland farmers was still well short of the early year highs recorded in quarter one this year, optimism was slowly returning after a mid-year fall in sentiment. “The latest survey, completed last month, revealed that while just over half of the surveyed farmers - 51 per cent - expected agricultural economic conditions to remain relatively unchanged over the coming year, those anticipating conditions to worsen had eased back from last survey to 20 per cent (from 27 per cent).

‘Bullish’ market forecast Spring is here and while the Southern Downs and Granite Belt regions remain drought-declared there are signs of optimism for our rural industries, with hope ever springing eternal for those on the land. While cattle numbers in particular at the Warwick Saleyards remain relatively low - although fluctuating widely week-to-week prices are likewise relatively strong, reflecting what the latest Rabobank Rural Confidence Survey says is optimism within the wider Queensland beef sector. The cattle yarding at this week’s Warwick cattle sale saw a total of 632 head go over the scales, well up on the previous week’s yarding of 347. Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) said of this week’s sale that “overall quality was generally good with a lift in the standard of the lightweight young cattle”. “A fair panel of export buyers was present and operating along with the usual trade and feeder buyers plus local and interstate restockers. “A lift in quality plus stronger demand resulted in light weight yearling steers gaining over 40 cents per kilo. “However yearling steers to feed experienced only quality-related price changes, and yearling heifers followed a similar trend. “Yearling steers under 200 kilos made to 550 cents, while yearling steers under 280 kilos made to 544 cents, to average 489 cents per kilo. “Yearling steers to feed for the domestic market averaged from 419 to 422 cents, with

The Guide TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK FRIDAY
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? SBS, 8.30pm
We often get tidbits of insight into the ‘real’ life of celebrities when they appear on interview shows and the like, but they are generally not much more than little soundbites wrapped around promotional chatter. In this series, we get to go well beyond any well-polished public presentation to learn – alongside the star themselves – who and what has come before them. In tonight’s season return, Daniel Radcliffe (pictured) delves into his family’s roots and, through a cache of old letters, uncovers a World War I love story and a jewellery shop heist.
SATURDAY
FIRST MAN NINE, 8.30pm
Damien Chazelle is not one to make the same movie twice. After the energetic Whiplash and the Oscarwinning romantic musical La La Land, the director turned his focus to the famous 1969 moon landing. Ryan Gosling (pictured) is just the man to play the stoic, emotionally restrained Neil Armstrong, and, as you would expect, the cinematography and special effects are top-notch. The Crown’s Claire Foy shatters stereotypes as his wife Janet. Far from being a mere historical re-enactment, the film derives its power from focusing on Armstrong, as he and his fellow astronauts face the unknown. Some may feel the film to be slightly underwhelming, but the stark reality of inherent danger gives First Man an intense, authentic edge.

AMERICAN GANGSTER
AUSTRALIA DAY LIVE
SBS, 8.30pm
ABC TV, 7.30pm
Oscar winners Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington portray the forces of good and evil operating in the 1970s Manhattan drug trade in Gladiator director Ridley Scott’s stylish gangster flick. The story is based on the real-life crimes of Frank Lucas, a Californian gangster who used American planes returning from the Vietnam War to import heroin. With hints of Scarface and Serpico,thisriveting crime saga isn’t the most original, but it’s still an engrossing portrait of two men on opposite sides of the law.
As Sydney’s recent New Year’s Eve fireworks were not a patch on years past, all of NSW (and much of the rest of the country, too), will be hoping restrictions will be eased enough to enjoy the colour and spectacle of today. The Australia Day Live event is in its fifth year and boasts performances from some of the country’s best musical acts as well as showcasing the contributions of our newest citizens and celebrating our collective spirit. John Foreman takes the reins as creative director for this two-hour spectacular that includes music performances, a flotilla of yachts around Russell Crowe stars in American Gangster.

Livestock agent ROSS ELLIS of McDougall & Sons brings his fortnightly update on local markets ...
Drought fund applications
Livestock update Agents have seen a slow start to the selling season with only minimal amounts meeting the market on the cattle side of things, the rain has seen a reaction from producers and they are holding stock back with some feed available in the paddocks. The first cattle sale for the year only saw a handful of cattle meet the market - this saw restockers battle with the commercial buyers and the levels were very consistent. Calves topped at $420 to av $378.25, steers topped at $1132.01 to average $1016.29, feeder steers av $938, feeder heifers sold to a top of $1558.48 to average $1241.29, Cows & Calves sold to a top of $1760, the total yarding week 1 saw the average of $$1163.64 / head. Lambs were not as short in supply with the lamb yarding seeing 629 head meet the local market with an average price of $172.53 per head. Lambs topped at $220, hoggets topped at $218, ewes topped at $193, wethers topped at $161, ewes topped at $193, lamb rams topped at $148, ewe lambs topped at $228. Week two saw the increase in numbers across the board, with cattle numbers rising to 256 and sheep and lamb numbers attaining the 1281 mark. The values for all types saw an increase in the prices paid through the fortnight past. Cattle saw a definite upbeat feel with restockers looking to fill the paddocks or feed on types. Vealer steers sold to a top of $1524 to average $1117, feeder steers sold to a top of $2121 to average $1650, feeder heifers sold to a top of $1810 to average $1416, steers topped at $212 to average $1200. The markets are fully firm for the article that a producer can see return in. The lighter feed-on and trade types are fuelling the markets at the moment and it is very hard
to beat green grass fever. The sheep and lamb sale week two has also seen the market react with the top lambs falling into the clutches of the restockers rather than the processors. Ewe lambs topped at $226 to
restockers and the message was strong through all grades. Mutton was particularly strong with all types seeing an increase in value. Ross Ellis, McDougall & Sons, Warwick, 0419 744 151.

Harvest labour wrangle The Victorian Premier’s push to re-open Australia to international university students when it has yet to bring in a single seasonal worker shows how misplaced his priorities are, Federal Maranoa MP and Minister for Agriculture, David Littleproud, said this week. Mr Littleproud said Dan Andrews is “yet to approve bringing in some of the 25,000 pre-vetted Pacific seasonal workers to help address the chronic farm worker shortage despite industry and Commonwealth pleas”. “In October last year, the Australian Fresh Produce Alliance presented the Andrews Government with a quarantine plan developed by Aspen Medical however so far Dan Andrews has failed to respond to the plan or discuss any alternative options with industry,” Mr Littleproud said. “Health Minister Greg Hunt has also re-
assured the Victorian Government that we support the Aspen Medical proposal and that we stand ready to stamp the visas. “Dan Andrews has already done a special deal for tennis players from COVID hot spots and now wants a special deal to bring in international students, but he is stubbornly refusing to help his own farmers. “Since we re-opened the Pacific and Seasonal labour schemes in August last year, farmers in Western Australia, New South Wales, Tasmania, Queensland and the Northern Territory have safely recruited over 2,000 workers yet Victoria is yet to even develop a quarantine protocol. “The time for excuses is over. Victorian farmers deserve to be given the same access to workers as their interstate counterparts. “If Dan Andrews doesn’t act soon, all Australians will feel the pain through massive crop losses and higher grocery prices.”
The Palaszczuk Government says it is supporting community groups, local councils, not-for-profit organisations and school P&Cs in Queensland’s drought-declared communities with $5 million in grant funding available under the latest round of the Community Drought Support Program. Minister for Communities and Housing Leeanne Enoch said from “Winton to Warwick, 67 percent of Queensland is now drought-declared and the opening of the $5 million grant round will assist these impacted communities”. “We know that Queenslanders living in the state’s 41 fully drought-declared and four partially drought-declared areas are doing it tough and will continue to need our support,” Ms Enoch said. “The Community Drought Support Program grants form a part of the Palaszczuk Government’s drought funding package of more than $50 million in 2020-21. “The program will help recipients deliver food, vouchers, care packages, school breakfasts, assistance with bill payments and boost social connectedness in their communities by hosting events and activities. “Drought affects more than just the farmers and agri-businesses in these communities and the grants will extend support to nonfarming small business operators including local tradespeople and retailers.” In the previous round, 61 organisations shared in $5 million funding including recipients like the Charleville School of Distance Education P&C Association, the Tara and District Family Support Committee and the Longreach, Inglewood and Monto Show Societies. Treasurer and Operations Chair of WQDC Inc. Jenny Coombes said people who have received the Community Drought Funding have really appreciated it. “After long years of drought, finances are always a struggle. Being able to use these funds to clear some accounts or make a purchase they have been putting off really lifts their spirits,” Ms Coombes said. “I’d encourage organisations wanting to assist drought communities to apply for this funding as it becomes available.” Minister Enoch encouraged eligible organisations, groups and local councils to apply for the Community Drought Support Program funding. “Many communities are now recovering from not only the drought, but also the impacts of COVID-19 on local tourism and trade in their towns. “Just as we have supported Queenslanders through floods, cyclones and bushfires, the Palaszczuk Government will continue to support communities as they recover from devastating drought.” Applications close on 15 February 2021. For more information about how the Queensland Government is assisting drought-affected communities, visit www.communities.qld.gov. au/funding.

Meat and Livestock Australia says positive uptake of the latest version of the Livestock Production Assurance National Vendor Declaration (LPA NVD), the only version now accepted for all species of livestock being transferred, is being reported by MLA subsidiary, Integrity Systems Company (ISC). MLA says Version 0720 of the LPA NVD has been available since 1 July 2020, as part of a number of changes made to the LPA NVD last year to help ensure Australia’s integrity system is simple to use, valued by industry and underpins livestock traceability and consumer trust in Australian red meat. The changes, made in response to recommendations by SAFEMEAT include: All Species • Removal of Part C (Agent’s Declaration) - a section rarely used by industry and not required for any legislative reason. • Inclusion of ‘Destination PIC’ section. This is a legislative requirement in Western Australia and Tasmania, although optional for other states. Sheep • Inclusion of a section on the number of electronic devices included in the consignment to accommodate the mandatory use of electronic NLIS identification in Victoria and its increasing use in other states. ISC CEO, Dr Jane Weatherley, said significant communications to producers have helped ensure a smooth transition to the current version. “We have seen unprecedented levels of book orders during the last few months, with producers well prepared for the 1 January 2021 deadline. A number of selling centres have reported significant use of the new NVD across vendor consignments in livestock sales since the start of the year,” Dr Weatherley said. “We are also seeing more producers than ever using electronic NVDs (eNVDs) which is really pleasing to see, going from approximately 9,000 in April to a peak of nearly 18,000 eNVDs generated in November and nearly 10,000 since the start of January 2021. “ISC carried out an extensive engagement campaign throughout 2020 to ensure producers were aware of this important change and could act in a timely manner to be ready on 1 January. “It is great to see that the majority of producers are off and running, and now using the new NVD version. This is really important as transfers completed using incorrect
LPA NVD versions are a breach of the LPA rules and standards and multiple breaches may result in corrective action requests being issued, which is a situation no one wants to see.” High order volumes, coupled with increased pressure on the postal system as a result of COVID-19 and the Christmas period, have resulted in a six week turn-around period for new hard copy NVD book orders. 0720 version hard copy NVD books can be ordered at no cost via a producer’s LPA account until June 30 and delivery progress for individual orders can be tracked within the account. In place of using hard copy NVDs, Dr Weatherley said producers are encouraged to utilise the eNVD system, which uses the most current version. “Using an eNVD is a fast, easy and accurate way to complete livestock consignments as required, without needing to wait for new NVD books to arrive,” Dr Weatherley said. “Producers can access eNVDs via their LPA account. Alternatively, those producers that have access to eNVD via third party software can continue to use this method for generating the current version consignment paperwork. A full list of software providers and programs that integrate eNVD is available on the ISC website. “ISC is constantly reviewing and upgrading features of the eNVD to make it even more user friendly. “Significant user research to develop complete offline capability for eNVD has been undertaken and is nearing completion. A range of solutions are being investigated to provide offline access to the eNVD system, including but not limited to, mobile apps, Bluetooth transfer and SMS and email notifications.” ISC’s eNVD how-to guide outlines the steps involved in completing an eNVD using the eNVD system, including how to complete consignment paperwork using the system if internet access is unavailable at the loading site. The ISC Helpdesk, which can be contacted on 1800 683 111, can also assist producers who do not have access to their LPA credentials and/or a device/computer with internet connectivity by creating eNVD consignments on their behalf. For further information and assistance regarding LPA NVDs and eNVDs, please contact the ISC Helpdesk on 1800 683 111. FacebookTwitterLinkedIn
Saleyards vote delay? By Jeremy Sollars A final decision on the future of the Warwick Saleyards could be made later than February of this year, despite an earlier statement by Mayor Vic Pennisi that councillors would take a final vote by the end of next month at the latest. Councillors are continuing to discuss the option of either upgrading the existing Saleyards or building a brand new facility on an asyet unidentified ‘greenfield’ site in the Warwick area. Cr Pennisi told the Free Times this week councillor discussion on the Saleyards could extend past February and has previously indicated a special meeting may be held on the topic. The council is understood to be considering the public release of costings on the two Saleyards options developed by consultants, which to date have remained confidential. The Free Times understands the release of the costings will go to a vote at the general meeting to be held in Stanthorpe next Wednesday 27 January. SDRC statement ... The council this week released the following statement on the Warwick Saleyards, reproduced here in full ... “Following the close of the Warwick Saleyards Survey on 31 December 2020, attention will now turn to a series of consultative meetings with key stakeholders as part of the systematic approach to determine the future of the facility and making sure that we select the right project. Survey responses are now being collated and Southern Downs Regional Council will meet with the Saleyards Advisory Committee, agents, feedlot owners and other key stakeholders of the saleyards to review the survey results and discuss viable options. Findings will be presented at a future Council Information Session, after which a formal report will be presented to Council. Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi said the uptake on the survey had been encouraging and the data now provided a solid and informed platform for the next stage of the decision making process. “It is encouraging to see that more than 450 community members completed the Warwick Saleyards Survey,” Mayor Pennisi said. “Council takes the future of the saleyards very seriously and our approach to this important decision will be better informed with the feedback received from the community through the survey”. In 2019, Council commissioned the Warwick Saleyards Master Plan which addressed the sustainability of the current
The Free Times has sought to obtain the costings through Right To Information (RTI) since October 2019 but the council has so far objected to release of that information, a position also shared by Queensland’s Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) which adjudicates RTI appeals. It is understood around 300 public responses to a council survey on the Saleyards - which closed on New Year’s Eve last year - were received. facility and made recommendations on future business operations. Subsequently, Council was advised the current saleyards may be reaching the end of their operational life without a significant investment and options have been mooted since. Following the formal adoption of this Master Plan, Council engaged consultants to undertake a detailed Business Case to further inform the future direction of the Warwick Saleyards. Council is hopeful that a final decision will be made by the end of February 2021 although this could change to March depending on the next stage of the extensive consultation process. “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,” said Mayor Pennisi. “In reviewing the future of the saleyards, we will consider the facility’s viability, sustainability and what the long term financial impact to our ratepayers will be for each option. Animal welfare, environmental issues, industry standards, biosecurity, traffic management, information technology and, workplace health and safety all form part of the key considerations in selecting the right project.”

Glider club always active By Jeremy Sollars The Free Times caught up with members of the Warwick Gliding Club last weekend - Mayor Vic Pennisi and Deputy Mayor Ross Bartley also visited to inspect improvements to the club’s facilities made possible thanks to a $23,000 Southern Downs Regional Council grant. The work has included solar panel and air-conditioning installation to make the meeting and training facilities more comfortable. Started in 1964, the club is based at Warwick’s Massie aerodrome has around 60 active members - many of whom are based outside Warwick - and as well as recreational gliding is involved in training RAAF cadets, with flying a glider an excellent way for junior pilots to acquire aeronautical skills. Club members liken gliding and flying powered aircraft to “sailing as opposed to power-boating”. Gliders can travel as far as 500 kilometres in a single flight, and at altitudes of up to 10,000 metres and speeds of up to 100kmh - depending on weather conditions - and utilise thermal air masses or air currents heated by the sun and travelling upwards from the ground. Pilots must be constantly aware of the changing weather conditions mid-flight and be able to ‘read’ the skies around them. Most flights end back home at the aerodrome, but occasional ‘paddock landings’ are required. For more information visit www.warwickgliding.org
Dan Papacek and Nigel Andrews are two of the local members of the Warwick Gliding Club - Nigel originally moved to the area to be close to the Massie airfield to pursue his passion for gliding.

COMMUNITY DIARY
DIRT BIKE CLUB THANKFUL FOR GRANT The Warwick & District Dirt Bike Club has been successful with another ‘Grants to Community’ funding grant, provided by the Southern Downs Regional Council. Treasurer Sarah Williams said the Club has put the funds to use constructing new fencing around the Start Gates and Marshalling Yard area of our track. “This grant has come at a good time after suffering with closure due to Covid,” Sarah said. “We have had old fencing that was falling over and rotting, making our track look very outdated and untidy. “This has allowed us to construct a whole new fence, which brings the Club’s appearance to a much more acceptable level and benefits our members and those who visit our Club from other areas. “It is much more appealing. “The Dirt Bike Club is ready to start what is hopefully going to be a better year than last with Practice already starting and a number of race events scheduled in for the 2021 race season. “It will be a pleasure to see our new marshalling area utilised at these events. “We would sincerely like to express our gratitude to the SDRC for giving local groups and clubs like ourselves the chance to benefit from such funding. “A lot of times being not for profit and run solely by volunteers, these types of jobs aren’t financially viable. “These grants give us the opportunity to continue to improve our facilities.”

Trees of many uses... A while ago I was asked to suggest a quick growing tree for a local lady. While I don’t purport to be an expert and suggested she should consult someone who is, I did suggest the ‘racehorse tree’. There is one growing in a garden near where I live and I love the look of it. There is also a jacaranda within a few metres and the combination when they are both in flower is a great sight. At Goondiwindi recently I was delighted to see an avenue of them in full glorious yellow blossom down a property drive. Further through the town I saw a number used as street trees providing wonderful shade. They do like sandy well drained soil to grow well. Another one that I also think about is the paulownia or Chinese dowry tree. Beautiful flowers, nutritious, high protein leaves for stock feed if needed and prized as furniture timber. The idea behind the common name is that if planted when the baby girl is born, there is enough timber in the tree to make her dowry, all the furniture needed for her house, when she is of marriageable age. The scientific name is Paulownia tomentosa and they have many common names, among them the Empress tree, Princess tree and foxglove tree. This last one for the shape of the flowers. The flowers come in a range of shades from creamy white to pale pink and mauve through to an almost jacaranda blue. The trees can grow as much as 6 metres in the first year given ideal conditions but a more realistic expectation would be 3 metres, and
Red bauhinia. can be ready to harvest as logs in 5 years. They form a beautiful spreading tree given the room or if planted closely will tend to go straight up with fewer branches. They can be propagated from seed or from root or stem cuttings. To my

to know the imported variety, bauhinia x blakeana, the colourful flowering trees that are planted very effectively as street trees in St George. Those trees are native to China and India and are also known as the orchid tree and come in a range of colours from white through pink to a very deep purple/pink and are extremely decorative. They were not the native variety I was looking for. With the help of some lovely ladies in the Roma Tourist Information Office, who had a book of local trees, I was finally able to identify it as the native red bauhinia, lysiphyllum carronii. They are known by a number of common names. Queensland ebony, bean tree, pegunny and carron’s bauhinia are just a few alternatives. The tubular flowers are very attractive to native birds and, as the name would suggest, are red. The seed pods, or fruit, are green or red turning brown as they ripen. They are about 10 cm long and 4.5 wide with bulges around the seeds. The trees are often planted in parks and gardens in the western area of our state. They are quite a large spreading evergreen, or briefly deciduous if the season turns dry, tree. They flower from October to early December. It is part of the legume family along with brigalow and grows in similar country. It is also used in mine site rehabilitation in these areas. This bauhinia is native to Australia and they are good fodder trees as the leaves and seed pods are eaten by livestock... very handy to have in dry times!

mind the ease of striking cuttings is a distinct disadvantage of an otherwise wonderful tree. If the roots are cut by a plough or by digging in the area a sucker can come up and they can become invasive as a result. However, I know of some that are large and beautiful in horse paddocks around Moonbi in NSW that have been there for many years and provide wonderful shade with their extremely large leaves and not a sucker in sight. I also know of a splendid specimen in Allora. All of these have the pale mauve/pink flowers. The most vibrant colour I have seen is on the highway through Wellington in NSW so you can see that they are a very adaptable to climate and soil type. They do however like a summer rainfall or watering well at this time. During my Christmas break I saw many beautiful trees as I drove around. Grey green weeping myalls, a long-time favourite, beautiful Moreton Bay ash with their black tessellated bark to about 3 metres then pure cream trunks reaching straight up, wilgas, trimmed level at the height the sheep could reach, grey box with their leaves sparkling in the sun, brigalow and of course coolibah. I rested “under the shade of a Coolibah tree” in good Aussie style! I even had the pleasure of smelling the distinctive odour of gidgee before rain. I saw another one whose name I had difficulty in recalling as it had been many years since I’d seen them growing in paddocks. I finally remembered and then had trouble finding information as Google only seemed

The Spin A huge cricket weekend The Australia Day cricket carnival is only days away and preparations are in full swing. Umpires familiarising themselves with the local rules and in my case dusting of the penguin gear in 2020 after skipping the Umpiring gig and hoping the weather is going to be kind to us. There will be plenty of action many laughs intermingled with some serious play and very serious socialising. AS this column is being finalised I have one ear tuned to the broadcast of the final days play in the fourth (not fifth) Test as Australia and India seem to be limping to a draw although at 1/134 and a couple of sessions of play still in hand the Aussie’s might be fighting to hold the match to a draw unless some miracle break through happens. Really how good is Test cricket? How many times have we said it really is the pinnacle of competition? This series against India has had it all and the Indian team has won a great deal of respect from their opposition and the sometimes unforgiving Australia crowds for their efforts across the course of the series. When Indian captain Virat Kohli went home to await the birth of his first child many expected the side to collapse. Far from it. Ajinkya Rahane has stood tall as Kohli’s replacement and there is no doubt he is a future captain in waiting. It has been said over and again that this is one of the most resilient touring teams from any country to play in Australia. The injury attrition rate has been nothing short of incredible. Someone joking in commentary that they may have to get the bus driver to play for them if he was fit in this final game; they were so low on troops. But with a bunch of some would say ‘nonames’ they are kicking Australia’s butt. (Hmm that has a familiarly Maroon ring to it.) The relatively unknown players have stepped up to the mark and shown they are made of pretty stern stuff. Not taking a backward step against a talented but under performing Aussie side. India has clearly been the better side throughout the series and in my opinion certainly deserve to retain the Border Gavaskar trophy. Some of the international tennis players who have recently arrived on our shores could certainly take a leaf out of the Indian manual on resilience. Surely I am not the only fan who thinks there are more than a few over paid prima donnas among the ranks of the elite players. Tennis Australia has bent over backwards to ensure the AO goes ahead and my advice to those who are complaining about their conditions would be ‘take a spoonful or two of cement and toughen up’. Then perhaps find your own home. In the meantime - I’m going to put my feet up and watch India wrap up the series before I start studying those local Australia Day Carnival rules. -Casey

Bears/Smalls XI will celebrate their 30-year reunion this carnival - helping them to celebrate the team and the man whose nickname they honour will be Debbie wife of the late Rob ‘Bear’ Rutledge pictured on the couples wedding day. Rob (Bear) Rutledge in an industrial accident in January 1991 the team decided to honour ‘Bear’ who was a regular player by changing the team name to Bears XI. Since that time approximately 60 players have played for the team. Three members of that original team will once again drag the cricket gear out of the closet and pad up to play in the 2021 Bears/ Smalls XI. Peter Rutledge, Tony Small and Greg McMahon were all original members of the team and have played for Bears X1 at every carnival since. Keen followers of Warwick Cricket and the Australia Day Carnival will recognise a number of former players who will be making a comeback this weekend with some cameo appearances to celebrate the team’s 30 years. Among the group are some well-known faces including Simon Beattie, Robbie Beattie, Malcolm Beattie, Neal Henderson, Chris Ballantyne and Don Warrener. When quizzed about who else will be lining up for Bears in 2021 Peter Rutledge would only reveal that Bears have a group of players that have consistently played for a number of years now. They include two of Rob Rutledge’s sons Josh and Robbie as well as Peter Rutledge’s son Bailey and Tony Small’s son Mitchell. I’m not sure if they will be unveiling a Smokey in 2021, Rutledge playing his cards close to his chest. While there will be plenty of reminiscing over the course of the weekend those teams drawn to play Bears XI should not expect them to have taken their eye of the main game - that is winning the carnival. To date they have won nine times and in as they celebrate their 30
year reunion Peter Rutledge reckons it would only be fitting if they were to win number 10. A very large contingent of Bears/Smalls players, past, present and future along with their partners and families will be joined by Debbie the wife of the late Rob Bear Rutledge as they celebrate the 30 reunion in style on Saturday night. It leaves me to wonder how stylish they will be first up on Sunday morning. Good luck Bears/Smalls XI, I’m sure the original ‘Bear’ will be with you all in spirit.

DISTRICT FOURS DECIDED Last weekend the Summit Bowls club hosted the 2021 Southern Downs Men’s District Fours. At the completion of the sectional play on Saturday four teams made it through to the finals on Sunday. In the first semi-final decided on Sunday morning Ray Williams, Dale Callaghan, Neville Morris and Peter Collis 21 defeated Gordon Assay, Chris Thorgate, Michael O’Leary and Zel Zamprogno 17. In the second semi-final it was the team of Keith Mungall, Rod Newlands, Adrian Jackson and Jamie Zamprogno that progressed to the final after scoring a 26-15 win over opponents Ayerst, Carl Sutherland, Darren Stanley and Tony Schubert. In the final played on Sunday afternoon Jamie Zamprogno’s team faced off against Peter Collis’s team. Zamprogno’s team got off to a great start and led 15 shots to five at the completion of 10 ends. However Peter Collis and his team were not going down without a fight and staged a great comeback to trail by only one shot at the completion of 19 ends. The score 15-14. In the final two ends of the game Zamprogno and his team lifted scoring a five on the 20th end. They went on with it on the final end scoring three on the last end to wrap up a 23-14 in a thrilling final to the 2021 Southern Downs Men’s District Fours 23-14. The club and those who played thank Frank for his great work on the greens which were running well in every game.

ALLORA VISITOR A WINNER An excellent field of Warwick Sporters teed off last Wednesday (13/1/21) in the Bells Butchery January trophy. Three visitors from Allora took the opportunity to play the big boy’s course and joined the group. It didn’t take the group long to settle in and one of the crew made himself right at home. Craig Simpson, from the Allora club returning the winning score of 40 points. The runner up with 39 points, off his 28 handicap was one of the newer Sporters members, Bill Jubb. In the ball rundown, Mark Thomas and Tony Kahler (39); Sam McLennan (38), the very unlucky Garry Adcock and Mick Banks (37); Scott McLennan, Trevor Malone and Scott McLennan and Ross Kingston (36). The highlight of the day came on the seventh when parent club President, Gary Two Names, sunk a hole in one. It was his first Ace and clearly he was very excited. Of course there was the obligatory round of drinks after the event and those present helped him celebrate the milestone. For those who missed the après golf celebrations, Two Names is currently preparing a Podcast of the Ace so you will not miss out. Well done Gazza. Nearest the Pin at the fifth was Con Seibel. Gary Two Names as we know aced the seventh. Fred Howard was on song at the ninth and Anthony Seidl on the 16th. At the Pro Pin on the 11th Doug Wilson collected four balls, Garry Hanson three, Mick Banks two and Mark Coote one. At the Pro pin on the 13th Mark Coote collected another three, Mort Henderson two and Charlie Morrison one. On Wednesday (20/01) Sporters played the Hawker Road Function Centre trophy check out the results in the next edition of Spin. Next Wednesday play will be in the in the Warwick Hotel trophy event. Members of Sporters are reminded that the parent club is holding their annual Two Ball Ambrose event on Australia Day with a full card already for the shotgun start at 12 noon. For any latecomers still wanting to join the festivities, the club has opened up starting times from 7am. With the club closed due to the public holiday, a sausage sizzle and drinks will operate on the deck, courtesy of the Juniors Program under the guidance of Club Captain Brendan. He is sure to be in your pockets for the goose club raffle to support his Juniors’ program. There are two important upcoming events for the Sporters diary. Shootout participants now have six rounds to finalise their place in the 19 man field, with the final qualifying round on February 24. That is also date of the Annual General Meeting of Sporters Golf Club
Winners of the 2021 Southern Downs Men’s District Fours: Keith Mungall, Adrian Jackson (centre), Jamie Zamprogno and Rod Newlands pictured with District President Bryce Titcume (second from left). which will be held following golf and usually commences about 5.30pm. Finally the Sporters golf thought for the week - ‘Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he will never be disappointed’... Alexander Pope (he was obviously a “C” grade high handicapper).
NUMBERS ON THE RISE A good field hit the Stanthorpe golf club fairways for the Sunday Sporters nine hole event with the back nine in play. It is great to see the numbers slowly increasing for a pleasant Sunday morning stroll. Mark Lynam has been a little out of form lately but a solid round with a score of nett 23 was good enough to win the day and showed his game is on the improve. Nikki Waterworth missed out on the win after she also returned a nett 23 but the cut of the cards fell in Mark’s favour. Mick Irwin didn’t leave empty handed. His nett 24 earning him the run down prize. Terry Roser returned the Best Gross score of the day, 41. Terry was helping out a playing partner during the round and obviously listening to his own good suggestions. It paid off for him. The encouragement award went to Lee Clayton, although there were a few others who got fairly close to earning the award for themselves. Hope to see you out there this Sunday morning at the normal tee off time from 7.30am.
BACK ON THE FAIRWAY The Stanthorpe Golf club welcomed Jason Lawer back to the course as the sponsor of the Saturday’s single stableford event. He joined the members for the afternoon and competed in the event. Although Lawer has not been playing regularly, he has not lost any of his golfing ability, recording a score of 79 for 37 points which included an eagle three at the sixth hole.. Kev Rowling and Wes Smith returned the best score of the day, 39 points and a count back was required to determine the winner. The count back going in Kev’s favour by one point. Both players had a reasonable front nine with much better scores for the last nine holes, Kev with 23 points and Wes with 22
points. Wes forced to settle for the runner’s up spot on the podium. In the men’s run down, it was a ball each to scores of 35 points and better. The Special encouragement award in the men’s division went to Eric McLellan who ran into a few difficulties through his round, a number of dashes on his scorecard telling the story. Nikki Waterworth, is certainly back in form and won the ladies event with 36 points. Waterworth was out in 19 points and back in 17. Her score could have been even better had it not been for two washouts. A birdie and four points at the seventh hole made up for the glitch. Neta Thouard continued her recent good form to take the runner up prize with a score of 30 points. The ladies run down went to scores of 27 points and better to win a ball. The Ladies Encouragement Award went the way of the ladies Captain, Annelle Batterham, who had a day on the course that is best forgotten. She was the winner of a ladies comp only a few days ago, so she it should not be too long until she is again scoring well. No doubt, husband Ron will have a few words of advice and the offer of a coaching clinic. The Preferred lie rule change now allows preferred only on the closely mowed area on the fairway. If in the rough, play it as it lies. This change made scoring tougher on Saturday, but of course the answer is, keep the ball on the fairway. Obviously, easier said than done on some occasions. Information on this rule change and other club matters were e-mailed to members through the week. Has everyone has read their emails is the quest ion? This weekend Club President Len Leigh is sponsoring a stableford event. There is a time sheet for this round on the board and players are asked to arrange their tee times.
HOT CONDITIONS AND MIRAGE FOR SHOOTERS Shooters were faced with very hot conditions and light winds to start the day on the range for the Southern Downs Rifle Club’s shoot on Sunday. As the shoot progressed mirage also caused some problems for those competing however Richard McKillop once again had a

TENTERFIELD GET THE JOB DONE IN T20 Round 12 of the Stanthorpe and District Cricket Association fixtures last Saturday was designated as T20 games due to the Mitchell shield game on Sunday in Toowoomba. On Sheehan Oval RSL took on South’s while Valleys played Tenterfield on their home ground Shirley Park. Tenterfield has had a lean season unable to notch a win despite some close games however their fortunes changed on Saturday as they notched up a win against Valleys in what some would have seen as an upset. Valleys won the toss and elected to bat first. Opener John Featherstone faced only 12 balls before he was bowled by Tom Fowler for just three runs. The score 1/18 and not an auspicious start for the visitors. Opening bowler William Sheather and Ben Austin combined just four balls later to dismiss Featherstone’s opening partner Oliver Amerena (10). The score 2/20. It was a pattern that did not end there. Tom Fowler had his second when Luke Mayne caught David Marino for four. Midway through the fifth over Valleys were looking vulnerable, the score 3/23. - Continued on page 38 Thursday, 21 January, 2021 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES 37

The Spin From Page 37 The quick dismissals brought Clinton Crome and Captain Damian Anderson to the crease. A partnership between these batsmen was needed if Valleys were any chance of posting a competitive total. The pair took the total to 78 in the 10th over before Crome was LBW to Genninges for 14. His 14 coming off 15 deliveries. Anderson looked to be set and boundaries were starting to flow. With the score on 93 Anderson was beaten by a Genninges delivery falling just shy of a half century. His 47 runs coming off just 29 balls and included six boundaries and one six. The score 5/93 at the start of the 14th over. There was little wag in the Valleys tail. Jackson Haynes (8) was run out in the 17th over. Sheather and Nick Savins combined to dismiss Anthony Coup (4) shortly after. Sal Scalia followed caught and bowled Nick Savins for 10. Stefanon and Angus Crome remained not out at the end of the innings. Tenterfield set a target of 122 to win. In reply Tenterfield opening pair Tom Sargeant and Luke Mayne put on an opening stand of 58 before Sargeant (27) had his stumps rattled by a Damian Anderson delivery in the eight over. Sargeant’s innings included four boundaries and came off 35 deliveries. The dismissal brought Skinner to the crease but Anderson had another scalp shortly after. Dismissing the incoming batsman for a duck. Tenterfield 2/66 and in the box seat. There would be no Tenterfield collapse in this game and Mayne (40) and Tenterfield captain Adam Genninges (31) guided Tenterfield to the required total on the last ball of the 16th over. Both batsmen batted well. Mayne’s 40 coming off 43 deliveries and included 4 boundaries. Genninges scored a quick fire 31 off 19 deliveries smacking three boundaries and a six after chipping in to take two wickets with the ball. Tenterfield bowlers Savins and Fowler also bowled well. Tenterfield players and supporters will be hoping this is a turning point in their season.

STANTHORPE FALLS SHORT IN MITCHELL SHIELD Stanthorpe and Toowoomba went head to head in the penultimate round of the Mitchell Shield fixtures on Sunday. The game played at Captain Cook Reserve Toowoomba. Toowoomba elected to bat first after winning the toss. In the 50 over game Stanthorpe were able to restrict Toowoomba to 158 dismissing the last batsman in the 47th over. Liam Lanza, Brendan Barker and Jamie Carnell each taking three wickets. Carnell finished with the best figures. His three wickets coming off 4.1 overs for just eight runs. Lanza dismissed opener Nunn for 24 as he was looking threatening. He then had Walker, the first drop batsman caught behind by Halford. Healy and Steger put together a partnership of around 20 before Barker struck dismissing Steger for 31. The score 4/106. Draheim failed to trouble the scorer out for a duck and wickets fell steadily for the remainder of the innings. Toowoomba’s score of 158 was helped by some wayward de-
liveries from the Stanthorpe bowlers. 28 wides and two no balls which proved costly in the wash up of the game. Jordan Lanza and Ben Staley opened the batting for Stanthorpe with Lanza doing the bulk of the scoring before Staley was run out for seven in the 11th over. The opening partnership a healthy 48. Brock Patti’s stay at the wicket was shortlived out for a duck after facing just nine deliveries. Captain Jamie Carnell joined Lanza at the wicket and the pair took the score to 72 before Carnell (3) became the batsman run out. While Lanza continued to make runs his partners fell by the wayside. Williams (3); Halford (7) were both out cheaply while Einam and Crestani failed to trouble the scorers. When Crestani was dismissed Stanthorpe were 7/126 with plenty of overs in hand but not many wickets. Lanza fell to a delivery from Reen. The score 8/138. Stanthorpe needing 21 runs to secure victory and Toowoomba two wickets to win. Liam Lanza was out for 11 in the 46th over and the final wicket to fall was that of Barker (6) in the 47th over. Stanthorpe falling just five runs short and possibly rueing those wayward deliveries during the Toowoomba innings. Despite the loss Stanthorpe head the standings with 17 points and one round to play before the final. The last round will be played on February 7. Stanthorpe have a bye and will be watching closely the result of the game between Toowoomba (15 points) and Central Downs (8 points). Stanthorpe and Toowoomba should play in the final Mitchell Shield final on February 14 with the location resting on the outcome of Toowoomba’s final game.

RSL HOME IN A TIGHT FINISH In the second game of the round 12 Stanthorpe cricket fixtures RSL had a win over Valleys in their game played on Sheehan Oval. RSL won the toss and batted first setting South’s a run chase of 109. In a thrilling finish South’s fell two runs short. Tom Garland and Ryan Brady opened the batting for Valleys and put on 28 before Garland was bowled by Jordan Lanza in the fifth over. The dismissal brought inform batsman Will Dowie to the crease. Lanza struck again dismissing Brady (9) shortly after and was on a hat trick after he bowled incoming batsman Neil Perritt for a duck next ball. RSL captain Luke Brady joined Dowie at the crease and the pair took the score to 79 before Lanza held a catch off the bowling of Alex Cameron. Brady out for eight. Dowie was joined at the crease by youngster Ryan Hines and the pair pushed the total to 93 before Dowie was out for LBW to Alex Cameron for 44 in the 17th over. Dowie’s total included four boundaries and two sixes. Hines did well to remain not out 10 when the innings closed. South’s required only 109 to win. After a bowling spell that returned 3/15 from four overs and taking two catches Jordan Lanza opened the batting for South’s along with Sachepal Singh. South’s looked to cruising when Singh was caught by Neil Perritt off an Anthony di Bella delivery in the sixth over.

Casey O’Connor South’s captain Ben Staley joined Lanza at the crease taking the score to 72 before DiBella dismissed Lanza for 47. It was another good performance with the bat for Lanza who faced only 30 deliveries hitting three fours and three sixes in his innings. At 2/72 with 10 overs remaining and their captain at the crease South’s looked to be tracking nicely. Ryan Hines dismissed the incoming Liam Lanza for just one and a few deliveries later Will Dowie claimed the wicket of Harry Williams (2), Tom Garland taking a good catch. When Ben Staley was dismissed for 30 in the next over South’s had gone from cruise control to vulnerable in the space of a couple of overs. Zac Hendry (2) went cheaply and South’s found themselves 6/100, needing a run a ball from the final nine deliveries. Will Dowie bowled the final over and in a nail biting finish was able to restrict the batsmen to seven runs and wrap up a good win for RSL. Dowie finished the innings with 1/13 from three overs. Anthony Di Bella took 2/20 from his four over spell while Wren; Hines and Lawer each took one wicket.
MICHAEL NOLAN WINS BASIL NOLAN JNR MEMORIAL The Warwick Turf club hosted the Warwick Cowboys race day on Saturday. The Cowboys players and supporters getting into the spirit of the meeting on Friday night with a Calcutta held at the Cowboys clubhouse. The six race card at Allman Park included the second running of the Basil Nolan Jnr Memorial event. The QTIS three year old maiden was won by Short Sara trained in Toowoomba by Michael Nolan close relative and good mate of the late Basil Jnr. The filly having only her fifth race start was well handled by jockey Les Tilley who let leader Mr Quick Step do all the hard work in front before sweeping to the lead in the straight and holding off a strong finish from Peta Calada who is trained by Les Clarke on the Warwick track. Toowoomba galloper and race favourite Winter Rain ran third. The winner was well in the market starting at $3.70 and was a very popular result. The six race card opened with the running of the Michael Nolan Racing QTIS two Year old Maiden. There was good money when betting opened for the Toowoomba galloper Legal Esprit who was having her first race start. Apprentice Ron Goltz took Donald Baker galloper to the front shortly before the turn and cleared away for a big win. The winner started at $3.20. Brisbane galloper and Favourite Gypsy Isle ran second. Toowoomba trainer Peter Sexton and jockey Kenji Yoshida combined to win the Wickham Freight Lines Maiden (800metres) with The Waiting Man. The Toowoomba visitors once again got the money in the fourth event, a class three handicap over 1200 metres when favourite Wolff Boss cleared out by four lengths in the straight for an easy win. The favourite was patiently ridden by Justin Stanley content to take a sit after the horse began well. He worked the favourite into the race before the turn and kicked clear when the leaders straightened. Jockey Les Tilley guided another Toowoomba trained galloper to victory in the fourth event the 2000metre Green Homes Australia - Darling Downs Benchmark 60 H’cap. Tilley notched up the second leg of a treble on the Lynda Powell trained Gotta Be First. The four year old was popular with punters after a last start win in Toowoomba. The jockey seemed unfazed when the filly was back with the tailenders early in the race. He made a move along the inside in the middle stages but was still 10 lengths off the leaders with 600metres to run. In the straight Tilley managed to weave a passage through the field to get to the outside and give the filly clear air. She quickly picked up the leaders in a few strides and raced away for a comfortable win. The winner of the last event the Carey Bros Abattoir Band 58 H’cap was well fancied by punters and shortened from $6 to start $3.20 favourite when they jumped. It was the final leg of a treble for Les Tilley who took a sit be-

The big field had no chance of catching the favourite in the straight and he skipped away to a good win for connections and trainer Matt Boland and the cheers of punters. The sixth event concluded a successful meeting for the Warwick Turf Club with plenty of support for the Cowboys Race day and Basil Nolan Jnr Memorial day. It was also a good day for the visiting Toowoomba trainers who won all six races on the card. The Warwick Turf club next race meeting is scheduled for February 16.
