Scheme canned By Jess Baker It was a close vote, but Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) has decided not to reinstate the controversial Invasive Pests Control Scheme (IPCS) for 2021 to 2022. Councillors Cameron Gow, Jo McNally and Sheryl Windle voted in favour of the IPCS in last week’s January meeting, while councillors Ross Bartley, Andrew Gale, Cynthia McDonald, Stephen Tancred, and Vic Pennisi voted against. Cr Marco Gliori had a declarable conflict of interest in the matter and left the meeting while the Scheme was discussed and voted on. The decision of each councillor eligible to vote ultimately came down to whether or not they supported the Invasive Pests Special Rate, as its retention was a key component of the “amended” IPCS brought to Council. Cr Gow said he thought the “amended” IPCS was a “step forward in the right direction” as it addressed all of the concerns, suggestions, and other feedback Council received in public consultation. “Particularly from the point of view of the (Southern Downs) Wild Dog Advisory group - they’ve seen three- and four-fold increases in wild dog baiting which, according to their management strategy, is best practice,” he said. Cr Gow credited the application of an Invasive Pests Special Rate for the survival of the region’s sheep industry. “It’s been the single biggest step forward in reserving (the sheep) industry here in the Southern Downs and Granite Belt,” he said. Cr McNally agreed the IPCS had seen success before its suspension in May 2020 (implemented to help the community recover economically from the effects of Covid-19), and said the Special Rate was the “wakeup call” some landholders needed to “clean up” their land. “I’ve said many times before that a line had to be drawn in the sand,” she said. “What we had wasn’t working - we need to move forward and actually protect our land for future generations.”

“I think it’s a great scheme that I’d like to see continued ... to do anything else is a step backwards.” Deputy Mayor Ross Bartley said he had “always had issues” with the Scheme, much like other producers had. “(The scheme) has changed slightly, but again, paragraph f (retention of the application of the Invasive Pests Special Rate) where those supplementary rates notices will be used as a form of penalty and effectively put someone’s property ownership in jeopardy after three years of non-payment of rates is a major concern to me.” Cr Gale said he believes the Scheme fails to represent what members of the community really want and need. “I firmly believe the only way forward with this type of scheme ... is (to have) one that is incentive-based,” he said. “I can’t support this motion in good conscience.” Cr McDonald reflected on the four years of devastation felt by members of the Southern Downs and Granite Belt community, and said the IPCS is just another burden that “hurting” families would have to bear. “In the middle of a drought, when you’re trying to support your family, and you’re putting food on your table, and you’re trying to keep yourself afloat and pay a mortgage ... worrying about potential levies and fines and Council threatening to take away your property is the last straw for any farming family,” she said. Speaking after the vote, Cr Bartley suggested cluster fencing as an alternative means to manage pests in the region and keep the Southern Downs and Granite Belt environmentally sustainable and profitable. “We are very, very vigilant about pests, but emerging ones that will cut down production on our rural properties is a big worry,” he said. “One thing that is evolving is cluster fencing ... and in other council areas, they have seen that as the best tool in the toolbox and it is working. “That is where I sit on it and I hope that we never lose sight of pest control.”

Journalist Jess Baker.

A number of significant decision were made at the January general meeting of the Southern Downs Regional Council last week - not the least of which was a vote against re-adopting the Invasive Pest Control Scheme next financial year. The vote was split - five to three and while the council is yet to consider a replacement for the scheme, if one is needed and it could well be argued it is not, the result is overwhelmingly a win for people power. The IPCS - which penalised rural landholders who allegedly failed to carry out pest animal and plant controls with a double rates bill - was deeply unpopular in the region’s primary production sector, representing a ‘big stick’ regulatory approach during the worst drought in our history. I would argue the IPCS does not need to be replaced - farmers and other rural landowners have always had obligations under state laws to control pests - but if anything is done it should be incentivebased. Rates rebates are offered by rural councils in other states, for example. As far as council meetings under the current administration are concerned it is pleasing to see some actual debate taking place. Under the previous administration general meetings were little more than a choreographed ‘show of hands’ - the political equivalent of synchronise swimming. At least current councillors are prepared to engage each other in genuine debate, and not automatically accept the recommendations of the council bureaucracy on every issue. That said, there is still far too much happening during ‘confidential’ portions of meetings. While it is pleasing to be able to report this week that costings on future options for the Warwick Saleyards will be released, the fact this is unlikely to happen until the end of February is extremely frustrating. Whenever there is a hint of progress, there always seems to be some kind of middle-of-theroad, defensive compromise or delaying tactic. Why not just make a decision and act on it straight away? It is also of concern for the community that so much time in council meetings is spent discussing conflicts of interest that councillors may or may not have. I am not suggesting that at times politicians are not faced with genuine conflicts, and of course they should be openly declared and their chair temporarily vacated for that portion of the meeting. But the ability of individuals outside of the council to lodge anonymous conflict of interest allegations is clearly being ‘gamed’ or ‘played’ to a ridiculous degree, so much so that it undermines the decision-making process. Perhaps the ‘burden of proof’ test needs to be applied more vigorously to those who are making these allegations at the time they are lodged.

Zinc phosphide is a quick and humane method of eradication.

NEWS

A drone can cover more than 180 hectares of cropping with baits in a night.

The high-tech mouse fight By Jeremy Sollars Producers across the Warwick area are continuing to turn to specialist contractors to battle the region’s current mouse plague, which is causing widespread damage to summer crops. But the problem isn’t just recent - the mice first arrived towards the end of the winter season in 2020, but recent rainfall spurring on summer cereal crops has provided the mice with a virtual banquet in parts of the cropping country to the north and east of Warwick. And where’s there’s plenty of feed, they will breed. They’re also becoming more agile climbing up plant stems to reach higher heads of grain, and digging inches into the soil to devour seeds one-by-one soon after planting of a new crop. They’ve been described by the experts as “engineers”, and they appear to be highly mobile - producers and eradication specialists are adamant the mice move in ‘waves’ between properties in a particular district depending on what stage someone’s crops are at. A small population will take up initial residence and then feed and breed relentlessly over a short period. A typical pattern is sheltering during the day in holes dug in a recently-harvested paddock - especially one with new plantings - next to a mature crop which they feast on at night. To put it another way, one paddock serves as the ‘bedroom’ and the other ‘the dining room’. Despite extensive baiting some producers including in the Killarney and Emu Vale areas - have lost significant portions of crops such as corn and grain sorghum to mice. In order

Roger Woods (left) and Talgai producer Tim Thorne pre-program the drone coordinates ahead of a night’s mouse baiting operation this week. to protect those crops still in the ground, and newly-planted paddocks, some farmers are calling in aerial bait application, including the use of choppers and fixed-wing aircraft as well as the latest drone technology. Roger Woods of Cambooya-based firm Drone Commander undertakes a wide range of aerial services for producers across Queensland but for the last several months at least 50 per cent of his and his employees’ time in any given week has been spreading mouse bait on Darling Downs broadacre cropping operations. Producers purchase the bait - wheat grains coated with zinc phosphide - in bulk quantities and it’s loaded into a ‘hopper’ attached to the drone, which is then programmed to fly over a crop at a top altitude of 30 feet and spread it through a ‘spinner’ at a rate of about a kilo per hectare.

The operations are undertaken at night when the mice are most active and native birds are roosting - with Roger regularly pulling ‘allnighters’ to monitor the drones and replenish the bait supply after each flight, some nights covering more than 180 hectares. Zinc phosphide is an efficient and humane method of mouse eradication - without going into all of the details, it causes a rapid and painless death, including the ‘pups’ in the mouse holes - and results are measured with the use of ‘bait cards’, cardboard pieces laced with an attractant such as canola oil and distributed around the paddock. If the cards are untouched after a night of baiting, it means the operation has been successful. Mice are also unable to develop a residence to the compound, which is good news if the current problem persists beyond this summer.

Roger Woods says for reasons that are unclear the mice are smaller during the current plague and more agile, and while in the past heavy falls of rain and a cooler snap would kill of a localised infestation they seem impervious to downpours, which at any rate have been patchy of late across the Warwick area. He also says natural predators - birds for example - seem to be losing their taste for mice which is likely compounding the issue, saying “they’ve eaten so many mice they’re sick of them, it’d be like eating Maccas every single day”. Roger says the most effective baiting strategy is to carry it out at each stage of crop development - pre- and post-planting, then in-crop, ‘pre-head’ and then at maturity. Mixed season, apart from the mice ... The mouse issue aside, summer to date has so far seen heavy falls of rain in places over the cropping country east of Warwick, but not everyone has been “under the right clouds”. Harvesting of grain sorghum planted late in the season will be ongoing and in some cases continuing well after summer, and hay producers have also been busy in recent weeks, keeping an eye on the skies while they’ve had hay cut on the ground. Later sunflowers are still to be harvested in places - and there’s been serious talk among producers about the need in future summers for the construction of ‘viewing platforms’ for the multitudes of city visitors who make an annual journey to photograph - and be photographed alongside - the Warwick area’s famous sunflower paddocks.

New mastheads on way Warwick Today and Stanthorpe Today will launch as two new news media mastheads across the Southern Downs and Granite Belt from the end of February and will provide the region with its premier source of local news. From Thursday 25 February Warwick Today and Stanthorpe Today will incorporate the Southern Free Times and will further enhance news coverage of both communities. The names might be new but like the Southern Free Times, Warwick Today and Stanthorpe Today will continue to be distributed free every Thursday, available at numerous outlets across the Southern Downs and Granite Belt regions and providing local businesses with an audience of almost 20,000 people weekly. The changes were announced last week by Star News Group Managing Director Paul Thomas during a visit to the region, where he was joined by respected marketing expert Damian Morgan. “The Southern Free Times has serviced the region for 20 years and is now the largest circulating publication in the area. We have made many enhancements since July last year and this change is yet another improvement for the region to recognise the two distinct areas with different needs and desires”, Mr Thomas said. Editor Jeremy Sollars said the new mast-

heads “mean readers will see a stronger focus on local news specifically relevant to the Warwick and Stanthorpe areas every week”. “These publications will provide local readers with new sections, columns and information and will build on the numerous changes that have taken place with the Southern Free Times over recent months. “What won’t change is our commitment to keep communities informed about the ‘hot topics’ driving debate and discussion in the region, as well as the stories behind the people, events and community groups which make the Southern Downs and Granite Belt great places to live.” Mr Morgan conducted a series of free marketing seminars last Thursday in Warwick and Stanthorpe for local business operators, focusing on how to maximise businesses marketing across various platforms and to offer customers an ‘unmatched’ experience in challenging economic times.

Rates changes: SDRC The Southern Downs Regional Council released the following statement this week in relation to the latest round of rates notices issued at the end of January “In supporting the community through COVID-19 at an estimated cost of more than $1.4m, Southern Downs Regional Council made a number of significant changes to how rates and charges were issued in 2020/2021 to provide additional financial respite to ratepayers,” a spokeswoman said. “With the issue of the half yearly rate notices, Council wishes to confirm that the extended 60 day discount period is again offered with a 7.5% discount applied to all rates and charges paid by the due date. “While at the recent Ordinary Meeting (last) week Council voted to resume charging interest on outstanding rates and charges, Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi said that the introduction of two six-monthly notices in 2020/21 provided a financially accommodating system to ratepayers during uncertain times.” “Recognising the impacts of recent challenges due to ongoing drought, bushfire recovery and COVID-19 uncertainty, Council reviewed and overhauled the way rates and charges were issued across the region this financial year,” Cr Pennisi said. “Council moved from a single annual rate notice to more financially accommodating system of two six-monthly notices and froze rates for the first half of this year with the 1.9% COVID-19 concession.

“The tough decision was made in December by Council to remove the temporary COVID-19 relief concession in recognition that we still have the job of delivering essential services and infrastructure for the benefit of the community. “Council is tasked with providing services such as water, waste, pools and libraries, while also maintaining our footpaths, parks and gardens. “This Council has a very real understanding on investing in our aging infrastructure. “Providing for the community and meeting expectations is not easy and not cheap. “The funds received from ratepayers are directed and invested directly back into our community and its needs and we will continue to prioritise between needs and wants so that we can get the balance right.” The council spokeswoman said ratepayers who are having difficulty paying their rates and charges “are encouraged to contact Council to arrange a confidential payment agreement to pay off their rates in smaller more manageable amounts”. “Ratepayers also have the option to receive their rate notices electronically,” the spokeswoman said. “To receive your notices electronically register online at www.sdrc.enotices.com.au. “You will require the unique eNotice reference number printed on the front of your current rate notice.”

Star News Group Managing Director Paul Thomas introduced marketing expert Damian Morgan at the event.

Guests Sharon Ryan and Laura Kubicek enjoyed the seminar.

Ahmad Almesfer, Warwick Friendly Society General Manager, was a guest at the launch.

Covid cuts: SDRC to start charging interest By Jess Baker Southern Downs councillors have decided to remove two items from the Covid-19 Economic Recovery Package released in May last year, with changes effective Monday 1 February 2021. Council pledged a number of initiatives to “support the community” through the economic disaster caused by Covid-19, including a ‘suspension of charging of interest on outstanding rates and charges’, and a ‘50 percent reduction in development assessment fees’. As of this week, Council has resumed charging interest on outstanding rates and charges, and there is no longer a reduction in development assessment fees for new applications, extensions to existing applications, and operational works applications fees for 2020/21. Councillors decided to return to preCovid expectations in these areas following the receipt of a Covid-19 Pandemic Financial Implications Update report that revealed the financial implications of items to Council. To date, the ‘suspension of charging of

interest on outstanding rates and charges’ has cost Council $185,510 (estimated amount by Council officers for July 2020 to January 2021), and the ‘50 percent reduction in development assessment fees’ has cost Council $150,558 (according to the report). Based on these estimates, the two items are the most expensive of all items included in the package. The third most expensive, is the ‘waiving of food license fees for 2020/21’ which has so far cost Council $120,857 (according to the report). All other items have been relatively inexpensive. The total cost of Stage 1 of the Covid-19 Economic Recovery Package is $562,749. The report to Council noted that the suite of packages has resulted in delayed cash flow into Council, a loss of revenue, and an increase in direct costs. Councillors noted the costs incurred to date in last week’s January meeting, and quickly carried the motion to remove the two items from Stage 1 of the recovery package.

Latest on the Gorge road By Jess Baker

Heywood’s Crossing in the Gorge.

“Removal of the gates is going to incur costs, as well as costs of implementing the signage – whether that’s Council funding or state funding,” she said. “I don’t know that we’re ever going to get (a solution)… or not one that we’re going to please everyone with, that’s for sure.” Paul Stumkat, a landholder at Cambanoora Gorge, said Council’s decision to abandon the proposed permit system and remove access gates was “absolutely a positive”. “Gates, cameras, and locks are expensive and (SDRC) has got a procedure in place that means someone from Council has to come out and check the crossings, unlock the gates or put new locks on… this all comes at a cost to ratepayers,” said Paul. Council’s Director of Infrastructure Services Seren McKenzie said there had been “vandal-

ism” over the Christmas break due to Condamine River Road being closed. “That’s our ongoing issue… we’re spending a lot of time and resources having to constantly go out and replace locks and chains,” she said. “We’ve had to resort to hiring a camera to make sure the lock isn’t cut. “At the northern end, we don’t actually have the gates locked – we haven’t had them locked for the last few weeks because of increased vandalism to the adjoining property owners’ fences and gates. “We believe that by removing the gates we’ll remove some of that cost to the ratepayer.” Paul said the access gates are “ridiculous” and the cut locks are the result of “people venting because they can’t access a public road”. “We (landholders) get notified of the road’s

As of 27 January, the Condamine River Road gates at Killarney have reopened and Council’s proposed permit system has been scrapped. Council officers noted in last week’s January ordinary meeting that there is no “legislative mechanism” that would allow Council to progress with the permit system proposed in a previous meeting. However, according to legal advice received by Council in November 2020, removal of access gates from Condamine River Road is “acceptable” if a “suitable signage strategy” is employed as an alternative measure. Officers suggested that ‘CLOSED’ signage – remotely activated by Council based on inspection of the crossings or advice from “nominated sources” living in the area – be implemented, and cameras be installed at entrance points to the crossings. The cost of this signage has not been budgeted for in the 2020/21 budget and Council’s applications for Cambanoora Gorge management plan funding have so far been unsuccessful. With installation of new signage and communications and removal of gates and obstructions in the road reserve likely to cost between $50,000 and $80,000, Council has decided to apply for funding via submission of a Building Better Regions Fund application. Deputy Mayor Ross Bartley said remotely activated ‘CLOSED’ signs paired with ‘Advanced Flooding Warning Lights’ is the “best solution that’s been put forward in a long time”. “It should alleviate the controversy and go some way towards solving what seems to be the most difficult problem we’ve dealt with in that area (Killarney),” said Cr Bartley. Councillor Sheryl Windle was apprehensive about the changes and expressed concerns about the costs involved.

closure or reopening several days after it happens,” he said. “I’ve been pretty lucky when heading into town because police officers have often been there to unlock the gates for me, but there have been plenty of times I haven’t known the road was closed and I’ve been caught. “In certain outback areas there are internet camera systems set up that send alerts when crossings have flooded – that’s the system Council needs so that it’s not infringing on people’s rights.” Other landholders at Cambanoora Gorge are disappointed to hear the permit system will not proceed and the gates will be removed. “There is only one thing that is going to preserve the Gorge, the river, the environment, the animals, the dirt road, and the sanity of the residents going forward, and that is to control the number of vehicles – not people – coming through the Gorge,” said a resident who asked to remain anonymous. “We want to see low impact tourists coming to the Gorge – walkers, mountain bike riders, horse riders – this is the type of tourism that is going to be sustainable going forward. “It is the number of vehicles that are destroying the river, the road, and the potential of any low impact tourists safely experiencing the Gorge. “The only thing that would have addressed this imbalance is a permit system.” The resident said landholders in the Gorge would like to see that the legal advice received by Council regarding the possibility of a permit system be made available to all stakeholders, “in the interests of transparency”. “It appears to me that (it) is a disgraceful waste of ratepayers’ money to conduct exhaustive consultation with the community, and then completely ignore those recommendations made by Council officers which are the result of that community consultation,” said the resident.

Dirty water now ‘clear’

Warwick Crime Update By Jess Baker There has been “no property crime whatsoever” in Warwick over the last week, said officer-in-charge Senior Sergeant Jamie Deacon on Friday (29 January). “Property crime usually spikes when it’s hot because people are leaving the windows in their homes and cars open ... but that’s not happening,” he said. “And that could be because people have started locking up or because there are less people trying to enter properties. “We’re taking it as a positive but our advice is to make sure you secure your property so you don’t become a soft target.” Sen-Sgt Deacon said he was also pleased to see that all events held over the Australia Day weekend ran smoothly and without incident, despite each being well attended. “I applaud the patrons of Great Australian Bites,” he said. “There was freely available alcohol and there was not one incident I’m aware of, which is a real credit to the organisers, the security, and those that attended.” Although there were no break and enters recorded over the week and no incidents at Australia Day events, there were three separate arrests for drugs, one arrest for drug driving, and one for public nuisance. “A 15-year-old was arrested on the morning of the 28th (of January) for public nuisance, and he was arrested for having marijuana on him the day prior,” said SenSgt Deacon. “The offender is known to police.” Sen-Sgt Deacon said hooning remains a prevalent issue in Warwick and surrounding areas, and offenders continue to face fines and “absolutely no tolerance” by police. “Whilst it might seem - to them - to be fun, it can land them in a world of hurt and

ruin not only their own lives, but the lives of others and of their own family,” he said. Sen-Sgt Deacon referred to an incident that occurred last week, 25 January, at 6.00pm at the intersection of Emu Vale Road and Tucker Road in Danderoo. “People in the area had heard hooning, but the car wasn’t discovered until 8.00am 26 January,” he said. “The vehicle had knocked over a fence post, done a 360 degree turn in a paddock, and exited through the hole it left in the fence. “That’s an example of the kind of foolish behaviour that is not tolerated. “We rely on people to call us and let us know about hooning as it is happening.” He said police encourage witnesses to get footage of hooning vehicles, and registration plate details where possible. 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).

The Southern Downs Regional Council says it has investigated concerns raised by a visitor to the Stanthorpe area late last week over a discharge of dirty water into Quart Pot Creek. The visitor was walking in the vicinity of the Carnarvon Bridge late last Thursday - 28 January - around 5pm when they observed a quantity of discoloured water discharging from the nearby storm water drain into Quart Pot Creek below the bridge. “When I returned about 30 minutes later, I noted the water had slowed to a trickle and that the entire pond area was now discoloured to a grey water appearance, previously it was clear enough to see the bottom clearly,” they told the Free Times. “Using a water bottle, I took a sample from the drain it was discharging. “The following day, I noted the water in the bottle had not settled as I would have expected dirty water to. “I again walked along the creek and again noted the pond was still discoloured and the discolouration had spread to the next pond down. “I subsequently phoned the council who advised me that they would get someone to look at it and they would ring me should they need any further information.” They were initially advised that it was a public holiday in Stanthorpe - last Friday 29 January being the local show holiday. The Free Times asked the council for comment on the water discharge and received the following response on Tuesday of this week “Council officers have investigated the dirty water concerns and have spoken to the resident who found the issue late last week,” a spokeswoman said.

“When Council officers inspected the area yesterday (Monday 1 February) there was no flow of water into the creek, and the creek appeared to have cleared. “Council will continue to investigate and check the area for any discharge.” It has not been suggested the discharge into Quart Pot Creek involved sewage effluent, with the Stanthorpe Wastewater (Sewage) Treatment Plant located well downstream of Carnarvon Bridge.

The council says it has investigated the issue and the discolouration has resolved.

Tenders are yet to come By Jeremy Sollars

Report revealed By Jess Baker More than a month has passed since Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) decided to invest in Emu Swamp Dam, but questions about what that means for the future of water security in the region remain largely unanswered. The ‘Stanthorpe Water Security and Emu Swamp Dam’ report presented to Council at December’s ordinary meeting referred to “historical and stochastic modelling” of a number of scenarios for water security for the Stanthorpe region. According to the report, the scenarios were presented by State Government officers to Council in November 2020, and included the current situation (SDRC’s existing Storm King Dam water allocation), the purchase of 585 ML of water in Emu Swamp Dam, and the raising of Storm King Dam wall by 2.5 metres. The historical and stochastic modelling was said to demonstrate that purchasing 585 ML of water in Emu Swamp Dam would improve water security, but would still lead to a “failure of supply” and continued water carting. Raising Storm King Dam by 2.5 metres, on the other hand, would (according to Council officers) mean the end of water carting. The results of the historical and stochastic modelling could not be interpreted by the public or the Free Times at the time of the December meeting as they were blacked out in the meeting agenda. The Free Times has since acquired the results, but they remain blacked out on Council’s website. A Council spokesperson told the Free Times this was unintentional - a “formatting error” that occurred when generating the report. The table received by the Free Times indicates water carting to Stanthorpe will be necessary once every 19 years if the situation remains as is - if the Storm King Dam wall is not raised, and Council does not purchase wa-

ter from the Emu Swamp Dam Project - and if Stanthorpe demands 750 ML annually. If Council were to purchase 400 ML of water in Emu Swamp Dam, and retain its existing Storm King Dam allocation, the table states water carting would be required once every 40 years. With 585 ML of water in Emu Swamp Dam and existing Storm King Dam water, carting frequency would reduce to once every 55 years. The most obvious solution modelled, is to raise the Storm King Dam wall by 2.5 metres. The results indicate this would reduce carting frequency to once every 142 years. A scenario where Council purchases 585 ML in the Emu Swamp Dam project and raises Storm King Dam by 2.5 metres has not been modelled by the State Government but, based on the scenarios that have been modelled, it can only be assumed carting frequency would be closer to once every 200 years. A Council spokesperson said annual demand has historically been around 700 ML for the Stanthorpe area, but water restrictions

have significantly reduced use to about 500 ML in the past 12 months - meaning carting frequency could be less than estimated by the State Government. The spokesperson said raising Storm King Dam would increase capacity for water significantly. “Raising the dam would increase the capacity to about 4600 ML, however this does not represent the available yield and water allocation, just a storage capacity,” said the Council spokesperson. “The modelling was undertaken based on proposed Council allocation of water from each dam. “Therefore, for Emu Swamp Dam, the modelling only allowed for an amount of the total of 585 ML, approximately one seventh of the allocation available in Emu Swamp Dam. “So although Emu Swamp Dam has a catchment of approximately 586km2 compared to Storm King Dam catchment of 92km2, SDRC would only have access to one seventh of those inflows.”

Tenders for the construction of Stanthorpe’s Emu Swamp Dam are forecast to be issued in April of this year after initial hopes they would be released as early as July of 2020. Despite the delay significant progress has been made on the project in recent months, not the least of which is the finalisation of contracts to purchase water from the dam with 49 Granite Belt primary producers who have now deposited their initial four per cent - and non-refundable - financial contributions, estimated at an average of around $25,000 each. The Free Times understands several producers who initially expressed interest in investing in Emu Swamp Dam pulled out in late 2020 but others came on board to replace them. The dam - which will primarily be for irrigation purposes for the Granite Belt horticultural industry - may also contain an urban water component for Stanthorpe for future emergency purposes if the Southern Downs Regional Council formally becomes an investor in the project, after likewise committing to do so in principle late last year. That investment on behalf of ratepayers is likely to be in the order of $3.5 million, enabling the SDRC to secure a 585 megalitre (ML) allocation ongoing for Stanthorpe’s town water supply in future drought periods. But final Queensland Government approvals for the dam - proposed for the Severn River south-west of Stanthorpe - are yet to be issued, and the project is yet to reach what is referred to in project management circles as the ‘stop/ go/pause’ point, in other words when final viability is established. Current work by consultants engaged by Granite Belt Water Limited - the communityowned, not-for-profit commercial entity driving the project - includes environmental assessments in the proposed dam catchment area. This includes surveys to identify any threated animal and plant species, including aquatic, and is understood to be continuing over the remainder of the summer period. Cultural heritage assessments - including Indigenous heritage - are likewise still being completed. As well as the ‘footprint’ area of the dam itself, the route for the pipeline network from the dam is still to be formalised. The network would carry water from the dam across the Granite Belt to the producers who are purchasing allocations and the Free Times understands the routes initially proposed by Granite Belt Water Limited have been significantly altered in recent months, to avoid as far as possible resumptions of private land. It is hoped the network will primarily run across public land, such as along existing roads and road reserves. It is understood formal discussions and negotiations with private landholders who still stand to be affected by the pipeline network will commence this month, with a Brisbanebased consultant engaged by Granite Belt Water Limited on the ground around the district.

Compensation arrangements with any affected landholders - including any within the dam catchment itself - will need to be negotiated and agreed on individually as with any infrastructure project requiring land resumption. Company structure ... There are two corporate entities involved in Emu Swamp Dam - ‘Granite Belt Water Limited’ and ‘Emu Swamp Dam Pty Ltd’. Even as non-profits both are registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), with Granite Belt Water Limited CEO Lloyd Taylor explaining to the Free Times this week that Emu Swamp Dam Pty Ltd was the original entity set up to promote the business case for the dam, and is now a subsidiary Granite Belt Water Limited. In turn Granite Belt Water Limited is now the “principal entity” for the dam project, with funds contributed by local producers held in accounts under the company’s name. Current Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi was previously a director of both entities but ASIC records list his directorships ceased in February 2020. The board for the Granite Belt Irrigation Project - the overall name used by Granite Belt Water Limited to refer to the Emu Swamp Dam project - is made up of Granite Belt Water Limited board members Dan Hunt (chairman), Brian O ‘Sullivan, Steven Tremellen, Jack Noye, Leeanne Gangemi, Nathan Baronio, Dino Rizzato and Bill James. The ‘project team’ includes CEO Lloyd Taylor, strategic adviser Brent Finlay, project director Greg Stanford, project manager Ian Smith, financial controller Scott Patterson, project administrator Margot Tesch, media adviser Stacey Wordsworth, expert advisers Richard Rodd and David Stewart and project administration support Amanda Harrold. Ms Harrold is also a previous company secretary of both Granite Belt Water Limited and Emu Swamp Dam Pty Ltd, having ceased in both of those roles in February 2020, prior to standing as a councillor candidate in the 2020 Southern Downs Regional Council election.

Request is denied

Water fines By Jess Baker

By Jess Baker Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) has denied a request from Warwick Polocrosse Club for the use of 15 ML of raw water due to current water restrictions. The club, located at Morgan Park, told Council officers the use of the raw water from Connolly Dam would be required to prepare the grounds for an upcoming event to be held in April 2021. The use of raw water is under the same water restrictions as drinking water – 120 litres per person per day, with no outside watering of grounds permitted. While SDRC has previously provided an exemption to the Warwick Polocrosse Club in the lead up to the 2019 World Polocrosse event at Morgan Park, the decision was not received well by the public at the time. Cr McDonald acknowledged current restrictions in last week’s January council meeting, but said SDRC must consider Covid-19’s “crippling effect on the tourist industry”. “I am very concerned about water, no different to anybody else within this community, however I would say that there needs to be some consideration given to major events to buoy our tourist industry and bring it back to life once again,” she said. Cr McDonald asked that the matter be deferred to allow Council officers more time to explore SDRC’s options. Cr Tancred suggested SDRC consider a temporary pipeline as a solution. “I’m not thinking about a permanent pipeline, I just know that a lot of farmers in the Granite Belt lay temporary pipelines – blue Lay Flat (hoses) 65 mm – all the time and move water,” he said. “I just think it’s more palatable that we use recycled water that people can’t drink… rather than water that people could be drinking.” Council’s Director of Infrastructure Servic-

SDRC provided water to Morgan Park for the 2019 World Polocrosse event. es Seren McKenzie said officers would have to look into that suggestion further, but it could possibly offer a solution. “Council might have to make some decisions about who to supply the recycled water to for that period,” she said. “It is already highly subscribed so there might be some concerns about who’s getting priority over who that we’d need to address.” Another potential solution raised in the meeting was to have water piped from the Warwick Saleyards to Morgan Park through Warwick’s recently completed Industrial Estate pipeline. “(The pipeline) is completed but we haven’t yet started using it, so we would need to make sure that we get through that process as well,” said the Director. “I believe it’s ready to be commissioned,

there are just a few final tweaks to be made.” The recommendation brought to Council – that the request for watering of the Warwick Polocrosse Club grounds at Morgan Park be denied – was carried. All councillors eligible to vote voted in favour of the motion. Mayor Vic Pennisi said he believed previous councils had always planned to have Warwick’s newest pipeline go to Morgan Park. All councillors eligible to vote voted to have officers explore “other commercial strategies” to supply water to Morgan Park, conduct a review of the supply of raw water users along the pipeline, and assess the possibility of providing short term access of recycled water to the site, then return to Council with their findings. Cr Gliori was not present in the meeting for discussion of the matter, or for the vote, as he had declared a declarable conflict of interest.

Extreme level water restrictions of 120 litres per person per day have been in place across the region since March 2020, yet consumption continues to increase in Warwick and Stanthorpe. A Council spokesperson said water restrictions were relaxed last year from 80 litres per person per day “in recognition of the need for increased hygiene following the rise of Covid-19”. “In light of stresses facing our community from Covid-19, Council appreciates that circumstances for many households have changed with more people working from and spending more time at home,” said the spokesperson. “In the period December 2020 and January 2021, no water infringements were issued and only a handful of noncompliance notices.” Despite good falls of rain across the region in December, Stanthorpe and Warwick residents still used much more than the recommended 120 litres per person per day – Stanthorpe using 152, and Warwick 158. As of 18 January 2021, Council has issued a total of 140 compliance notices and 16 fines. “Council has a collaborative approach to working with high water users,” said a spokesperson. “Since the December report, Council officers have been in discussions with 25 high water users to help them understand where they are using water and identify opportunities for water savings.” The Council spokesperson said the Local Laws team has been undertaking compliance of water restrictions since they came into effect and regularly reads water meters.

IN BRIEF The Southern Downs Regional Council says it is “committed to building better, safer roads across the Southern Downs for all road users and safety works will commence shortly on the roundabout at Churchill Drive in Warwick after it was identified as one of the region’s most notorious black spots”. A spokeswoman said as part of a joint initiative between Council and Federal Government through the Building our Future [Black Spot] Program “Stage 1 of the roundabout construction is expected to start on Monday 15 February 2021 near the junction of Park Road, Warwick and is anticipated to be completed within four weeks however, the start and completion dates are weather dependent and subject to change”. “Stage 1 works entail the replacement of the existing water main, with a full roundabout construction planned for Stage 2,” the spokeswoman said. “Stage 2 works will commence shortly after completion of stage 1 and will be the subject of a further notice to residents and road users in due course. “While the speed and STOP/GO restricted speed limits will cause minor delays on affected sections of Churchill Drive/Park Road, staff will endeavour to minimise disruptions for road users. “Council apologises for any inconvenience and seeks your co-operation during this period. Improving the region’s roads and infrastructure remains a steadfast commitment for the Southern Downs Regional Council. “We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for working with us while we replace the water main and improve the road for the safety of all road users. “Our staff will help make sure local residents in the area still have access to and from their properties. “Hours of operation for the road works are from 6.30am and 5.00pm Monday to Friday and we thank everyone for their understanding and cooperation.”

Warwick Bridge Club... Bridge can be played anywhere and doesn’t even require all players to be in the same room. A group of players from Warwick, the Granite Belt and Tenterfield played teams matches online during the suspension of face-to-face play last year. Last weekend they took it a step further when Brough Warren had to play in an online match at the same time as he and Margaret had to drive to the border to meet a friend. With the use of his mobile phone Brough joined the game while en route to Wallangarra with Margaret at the wheel. Sadly, there was no fairy-tale ending as Brough’s team went down to the team of Judy Mobbs, Sue Goddard, Neil Bonnell from Warwick and Dave Hambly from Tenterfield. Board 12 (above) was a good one for the mainly northern team. Dave (North) guided his team to the very good contract on 6NT while Brough’s teammates languished in 3NT. Over his partner’s 1C Dave bid a strong 2S. He then correctly interpreted partner’s 3NT (by-passing 2NT) as a better than average opening. His Ace-asking sequence discovered that partner held three Aces and no Kings. 6NT was about right. West led a small heart and South called for the two from dummy. Declarer beat East’s 10 with the Jack, then cashed five clubs, three spades and two diamonds before parting with the Ace of hearts. The play was straightforward but it was Dave’s bidding that found the optimum contract. Back at the club: congratulations to Barbara Reid and Leanne Munson on their first win as a pair. Results: Friday, 29/01/21 (5 & 1/2-table Howell): J. Rose D. Moran (64.6) 1;J. Nankervis T. Gra-

The mural opening On the 25th of January our family attended the unveiling of mural about the memories of Keith Cobon’s family. Mr and Mrs Cobon are great friends of our family and it was wonderful to be invited to their special event. The mural was painted by Franco Arcidiacono and I think he did an amazing job. Mr Cobon says it turned out even better than he expected. The mural is called ‘Memories of A Life in Pictures’ and it is above the new Slaps cafe, Stanthorpe Jewellers and Pureheaven shops in the main street in Stanthorpe. I really love all of the murals in the Southern Downs. My favourite is the Italian cafe scene painted outside of Vixen’s cafe. Missie When Mum got home from driving us to the first day of school (Tuesday) she found our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Missie crying in pain. Mum suspected straight away that she had right heart failure and rushed her to the vet. Unfortunately Missie had to be put to sleep and Mum is very, very upset. We lost Connie our other Cavalier on Christmas Eve so it is a very difficult time for Mum. Missie and Connie were almost 16 and 15 years old and Mum bought them a long time ago before she met Dad. Connie was about 6 months old when Mum and Dad met. Missie got into a lot of mischief and she could do tricks like going round and round in

Warwick Folk Club returns to ‘home’ By Jess Baker

Klaas Vandersluis is looking forward to the first Folk Club meeting to be held 17 February.

Long-time Warwick residents might remember nights spent at O’Mahoney’s Hotel singing songs, playing instruments, and reciting poetry with the Warwick Folk Club. Klaas Vandersluis certainly does. In fact, he misses the music-filled evenings so much he has decided – with the help of O’Mahony’s owner Joan Wallace – to bring them back.

From 17 February 2021, after a 10-year break, the club shall recommence. Meetings will be held the first and third week of every month in the large function room of the hotel, located at 35 Grafton Street Warwick. Admission will cost $5.00 and the evenings will run from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. Klaas said out-of-towners who wish to attend the meetings are welcome to stay at the

hotel for a very reasonable price and he encourages all performers to come along. “It doesn’t matter what you do – if you sing, read poetry, play an instrument,” he said. “It is a lovely evening.” For any enquiries about the evening, or to register your interest, contact Joan Wallace on 07 4661 1146 or Klaas Vandersluis on 0405 187 066.

Target to transform The Target Country outlet in Stanthorpe is scheduled to close this Saturday 6 February and will re-open as a ‘K hub’ on Wednesday 24 February. Target and Kmart last year announced the Target outlets in both Warwick and Stanthorpe would convert to K hubs in “early 2021”. The Warwick Target Country closed in January and was due to re-open as a K hub today, Thursday 4 February. 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 previously told the Free Times all staff of both the Warwick and Stanthorpe Target Country stores would be offered re-deployment with K hub. “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, on-trend 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 adding 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.”

THE AMAZING RACE AUSTRALIA WIN, 7.30pm

After watching the ﬁrst few episodes of this mad dash around the country, you may ﬁnd yourself in two camps: 1. You are inspired to plan an action-packed adventure. 2. You’re tired just thinking about it. The Amazing Race Australia has brought together a diverse bunch of travellers who are all keen to get their hands on the prize. Tonight, they are going to need more than just pep to get through a round that leaves some scratching their heads at the cryptic clues. Beau Ryan hosts.

FRIDAY

BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS SEVEN, 7pm

We really could have done with some tips from the Better Homes and Gardens crew over the summer break, but alas, they had to have their holidays too. Thankfully they are back tonight for the 27th season and the good ideas just keep coming. While some fashion trends may appear to be on a cycle, home fashions – particularly gaudy 19a80s-era exteriors – should be put to pasture for good. Tonight, Johanna, Charlie and James (above) make over the front of a house that is stuck in the most unfashionable of decades. They show how with a few aﬀordable tweaks to the garden, the fence and the front door, the garish can be glorious once more.

MONDAY

MAN OF STEEL 7MATE, 8.30pm

This re-imagining of the Superman tale, directed by Zack Snyder (Watchmen), produced by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight) and starring British hunk Henry Cavill (The Tudors, right), has blockbuster written all over it, but delivers an unexpectedly grittier tale than its predecessors. Cavill is brooding as the superhero who dons steel (rather than tights), ditching the comical elements of the classic to embody a serious, lonely Clark Kent who, upon discovering his extraterrestrial origins, unloads mass destruction in his ﬁght to save Earth. Starring Amy Adams as Lois Lane and Russell Crowe as Kent’s biological father, the story has a diﬀerent feel, which might displease comic-book tragics, but this glossy take should hold viewers captive with its abundance of rip-roarin’ action.

The clever casting crew behind this crime-drama did an excellent job of nabbing British heartthrob Ioan Gruffudd to play the lead. Sometimes you just need a wildcard to be the point of difference among all the other crime-dramas out there (and let’s face it, his smile doesn’t hurt, either). Not that you’ll see much smiling in this season three return as Dr Daniel Harrow (Gruffudd) investigates the death of a young man who claimed to be his son. The news shocks those close to him, but Harrow is pushed to reveal a chapter of his past. But just like in many of the cases his team investigate, it’s best not to take things at face value. A welcome return to our screens.

Ioan Gruﬀudd stars in Harrow.

Costings - but not yet By Jeremy Sollars Details of cost estimates for future options for the Warwick Saleyards are expected to be publicly released by the Southern Downs Regional Council in late February. Councillors at their January general meeting in Stanthorpe last week spent close to an hour debating whether or not to release the costings - developed by an external consultant in 2019 and kept confidential by the council since then - finally voting in favour of public release, just not now. In a statement released after the meeting an SDRC spokeswoman said councillors voted “to publically release the Warwick Saleyards Business Case and the remainder of the Warwick Saleyards Master Plan including financial statements as part of a future report to Council”. “This report is expected to be considered at the Ordinary Meeting on 24 February 2021,” the spokeswoman said. The options for the Warwick Saleyards - contained together with the costings in a council business case - are the ‘brownfield’ option of a major upgrade to the existing fa-

cility, and a ‘greenfield’ option of a brand new facility on a site not yet publicly identified by the council. Many in the region’s primary production sector have questioned the need for either option, while Mayor Vic Pennisi has cited the need for a ‘state of the art’ saleyards for Warwick, along with health and safety issues at the current facility, as reasons for ‘doing nothing’ not being an option. Estimates speculated on in the public realm for either an upgrade or brand new saleyards have been anything up to $14 million or more - that at least was the cost of a major upgrade of the Casino Saleyards - the Northern Rivers Livestock Exchange - by the Richmond Valley Council in the last several years. Half of that cost was made up of state and federal funding and the other half by Richmond Valley Council ratepayers. Cr Pennisi has in the past stated the costings of the two options for the Warwick Saleyards cannot be publicly released by the council as it could prejudice future negotiations with potential construction contractors, but

is understood to have more recently taken the private view that the costings should be made public. But he told the January meeting the council had obtained legal advice that a majority vote of councillors would be required to release the costings. Cr Pennisi told the meeting the legal advice was sought as the result of a ‘Right To Information’ (RTI) request made to the SDRC to obtain the costings - the RTI to which the mayor referred is understood to be the one lodged by the Free Times in October 2019, seeking to obtain the draft Master Plan for the saleyards, including costings, compiled by consultants Wiley & Co in 2019 for the former Dobie administration. The public interest test? Since the Free Times lodged the RTI in October 2019 the council has fought against release of the costings, with the RTI referred to Queensland’s Office of the Information Commission (OIC), which in late 2020 sided with the council that the costings remain confidential.

Our RTI application did however force the council to release the first 29 pages of the Wiley & Co report, in September last year. The Free Times has taken a strong view throughout the process that the costings are very much in the public interest and would have greatly assisted in informing community debate about the future of the Warwick Saleyards. It’s a view apparently shared at least by Councillor Marco Gliori, who at last week’s January general meeting argued that similar costings for other potential projects - such as a new art gallery for Stanthorpe - have been made public by the council in recent times, and the same should apply to the saleyards. But Cr Gliori was challenged on the point by Cr Stephen Tancred, who pointed out that as a member of the Saleyards Advisory Committee Cr Gliori had agreed with fellow committee members - as recently as meeting held on 10 December last year - that the costings should remain confidential, although they did favour the release of the remainder of the internal council business case.

Livestock agent ROSS ELLIS of McDougall & Sons brings us an update on the local lamb market ...

Demand up for lamb Both Cr Gliori and Cr Cynthia McDonald the councillor representatives on the Saleyards Advisory Committee - voted along with the rest of the committee in late 2020 to recommend to the full council that the ‘greenfield’ option be proceeded with. The Saleyards Advisory Committee is chaired by Ascot Cattle Co principal Jim Wedge and the other members are Ross Fraser, Matthew Grayson and Graham Kirkland. As its name suggests the committee has no statutory powers but other councillors without a rural background are believed to give significant weight to its views and recommendations. For his own part Cr Gliori has made it clear his personal knowledge of the cattle sector is limited, and that he respects the advice of fellow Saleyards Advisory Committee members on saleyards and livestock matters. He has several times during discussion of the saleyards in council meetings referred to himself by using the expression “all hat, no cattle”, a colloquial and generally humorous reference understood to mean a person with an interest in but without direct experience in the cattle industry. Lengthy discussion In something of a marathon, councillors debated the release of the costings at considerable length at last week’s meeting. An initial motion was put up to release the business case with the costings excluded - in other words, kept under wraps - with Crs Andrew Gale, Stephen Tancred and Cameron Gow voting in favour of that option. Against - and therefore in favour of release - were Crs Pennisi, Deputy Mayor Ross Bartley, Marco Gliori, Jo McNally, Sheryl Windle and Cynthia McDonald. A second motion - to release the costings in a ‘future report to council’ - was then voted through unanimously - in other words, release the costings, but not just yet. Cr Pennisi has previously made it clear is preference is for the issue of the saleyards’ future to be finally voted on once and for all by the end of February this year, but has also Statement in full ... The council released the following statement after last week’s January general meeting ... As the decision on the Warwick Saleyards’ future inches closer, Southern Downs Regional Council voted at this week’s Ordinary Meeting to publically release the Warwick Saleyards Business Case and the remainder of the Warwick Saleyards Master Plan including financial statements as part of a future report to Council. This report is expected to be considered at the Ordinary Meeting on 24 February 2021. In 2019/20, Council received a request to release the Master Plan document but considered that certain aspects of the document were ‘commercial in confidence’ including some financial details. However after a comprehensive consultation process with the office of the Information Commissioner, only the first 29 pages of the Master Plan were released to the community in September 2020. Mayor Vic Pennisi said that Council had debated and considered its position during previous meetings, and decided this week that the release of these reports will be timely and beneficial to the decisionmaking process.

acknowledged the timeframe could be somewhat elastic and could extend beyond that preferred deadline. He has also said it could be the subject of a special meeting. Conflict complaints ... Cr Cynthia McDonald - whose family operates a cattle farming business - told last week’s general council meeting she is the subject of three separate ‘conflict of interest’ complaints from anonymous sources, related to an alleged conflict between her role as a councillor and as a member of the Saleyards Advisory Committee, and as a private cattle producer herself. Cr McDonald was excluded from the 10 December 2020 meeting of the Saleyards Advisory Committee due to the complaints - which remain under investigation - with fellow committee member Ross Fraser placing on record in the minutes of the meeting his unhappiness at Cr McDonald’s exclusion “due to an anonymous conflict of interest complaint”. Cr McDonald last week told her fellow councillors she was happy to leave the January meeting during discussion on the Saleyards issue but councillors agreed she could remain in the room for this month’s discussions on saleyards matters. She also told the meeting she had sought her own independent legal advice on the conflict of interest allegations and was confident they would be “resolved” in the next few weeks. Sale numbers ... The minutes of the 10 December Saleyards Advisory Committee meeting contained figures on livestock volumes for 2020 through the Warwick Saleyards as follows Cattle Total head yarded - 36,180 Gross turnover in sales - $44, 480,828 Average yarding per week - 738 head Sheep Total head yarded - 58,885 Gross turnover in sales - $9,004, 776 Average yarding per week - 1201 head

· · · · · ·

“Council’s role is not to influence public opinion but to facilitate open and transparent conversation to have the facts and information for informed decisions on the right projects for our region,” Cr Pennisi said. “The decision on the future of the iconic Warwick Saleyards - a pillar of one of our most important industries - will be one of the most important we make in our first year in this term. “While the public release of these documents has been requested previously, Council considered that now was the appropriate time to share so that all other options could be included in the release to inform the decision-making process.” As part of its decision at the meeting this week, the Livestock Selling Centre’s operations presentation will also be released as per the motion from the Saleyards Advisory Committee meeting on 10 December 2020. This vote follows the closure of the Warwick Saleyards Survey on 31 December 2020, with Council now turning its attention to a series of consultative meetings with key stakeholders as part of the inclusive approach to determine the future of the facility.

MLA survey... MLA and AWI’s wool and sheepmeat survey, which helps to determine production trends and producer intentions for the year ahead, has been posted to lamb and sheep producers. MLA says responses will help to determine trends for both the sheepmeat and wool industries, such as ewe and lamb numbers, marking percentages for the previous year and the status of the flock rebuild. The results of the survey will also allow for regional and state-by-state analysis of sheepmeat and wool production, as well as the industry’s standing at a national level, and highlight associated key market drivers

stockers for $155, 25kg to restockers for $147, 16.3kg to restockers for $122, 52.5kg hoggets to Warwick Meats for$154, 4th rams to Glenrae Cattle Co for $196, ewes to restockers for $180 and $128 Scott Hurtz sold 2nd x Dorset lambs 44.2kg to Shelley F/T for $180, 37.9kg to restockers for $164 , ewe lambs 37.5kg to restockers for $161 Sam Fessey sold Dorset x lambs 75kg to Thomas Foods for $240, 102kg hoggets to Thomas Foods for $185, ewes to Thomas Foods for $162 Allan Brady sold Dorper x lambs 65kg to Thomas Foods for $219 and Ram lambs 65kg to Thomas Foods for $200, 50kg hoggets to Grants Quality Meats for $180 and rams to restockers for $180 Ross Ellis, McDougall & Sons, Warwick, 0419 744 151.

and differing trends for each of these. All survey responses will be made available after its completion, and will assist MLA and AWI to provide market forecasts and analysis that will offer key considerations for producers throughout the year - as such, it is important to have a large response for the most accurate information. Individual data collected for the survey will remain strictly confidential. The survey will be available until 29 February 2021.

A lengthy debate ensued at last week’s January council meeting over release of the saleyards costings.

Australia Day has come and gone with some very good advertising supporting the lamb consumption in this country. The ads have worked with Agents yarding a total of 1147 lambs and mutton meeting the buyers. The sales were fully firm for most types and with the re-stockers looking to put stock back to the paddocks as well as the processors looking to gather stock the vendors held the upper hand. Lambs topped at $240 to average $181.83($10up), hoggets topped at $185 to average $165.94($12up),ewes topped at $180 to average $143.6($14down), wethers toped at $170 to average $162.89($5up), lamb rams topped at $200 to average $181($1up). Strong support from both sides of consumption has seen the yarding average $10 up on last week’s rates.

Angie Innes and Darren Seibel purchased Goodwood Park – now Goodwood Equine – in April last year, with hopes to provide a sanctuary for horses recovering from injury or surgery, or in need of rest and rejuvenation. “We felt there was a need for a rehabilitation centre here,” said Angie. “There’s a bit of a grey area for people who don’t want to travel far with horses that have just had surgery, or who aren’t confident they can take care of their horses after surgery alone. “Or maybe they just want their horses to stay closer to where they’ll have to get checkups.” Facilities at the equestrian centre include 24 large undercover stalls, sheltered paddocks (both shared and individual), an eight horse variable speed free walker and a newly constructed arena, making it an ideal temporary home for horses that require special care. “We can take outside horses now, but we still have intentions of getting a cold water spa or an aqua treadmill,” said Angie. “Come September, we’ll also be open to outside horses for breeding… but our main attention is going to the rehabilitation centre.” Angie said she and Darren had planned to have the rehabilitation centre completed in a few short months, but construction was delayed due to the unexpected effects of Covid-19. Today, nine months into the pandemic and nine months after purchasing the property, all that remains is the addition of a cold water spa or an aqua treadmill. “Covid has really slowed things down for us because we couldn’t get the materials we needed when we needed them,” said Angie. 22 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES Thursday, 4 February, 2021

“But we started lessons a few months ago, which along with breeding and tidying up, is keeping us busy.” Lessons and training began at Goodwood Equine unexpectedly, said Angie. “After building an arena to put our horses in, we had friends over to come and ride in

it,” she said. “They suggested we start using it for lessons and I like helping people, so we started.

Angie runs lessons all week long – including weekends – for groups, pairs and individuals looking to gain confidence riding.

“It’s grown by word of mouth, and now we have lots of local clients from Clifton, Warwick and Crows Nest.”

Beatrice Hawkins

A most ancient fruit... Recently I visited our local fig orchard here in Warwick and saw the trays of beautiful fresh figs available. The purpose of my visit was to buy some to make a family favourite - Fig Jam!! Now I have a very good supply that will last for a long time and be dispersed widely among family and friends!! Looking at the flourishing orchard and realising that last year, due to the dry, there was no harvest, made we wonder about figs. The variety grown are black genoa and the first of 750 trees was planted on Boxing Day 2007. These trees produce, in an average season, between 3 and 5,000 trays. Each tray holds 36 or 42 individually picked and packed, perfect fruit, depending on the size. Other trays of smaller ones are also available as are the seconds that ended up in my jam jars! The origins of figs go way back as they are mentioned many times in the Bible and it is actually the 3rd tree named in Genesis. Many books of the Bible have stories relating to fig trees so obviously they have been around since the dawn of time. If you believe in evolution they have survived the cataclysm that saw the end of the dinosaurs! There are 4 main types: Caprifigs, San Pedro, Smyrna and Common but there are over 700 named varieties. They appear to have originated in Asiatic Turkey and Northern India with an early introduction to the Mediterranean area where they are widely cultivated. Some historians believe

they were the first fruit crop to be cultivated by man. You will find them growing in any warm area anywhere around the world is my belief. They are so widely grown and used in the Mediterranean area, in both savoury and sweet dishes, fresh and dried, that they are known as “poor man’s food!” They are a good source of fibre, calcium, potassium, phosphorous and iron and were prized by the ancient Greeks and Romans as a food source because they could be dried and carried so easily. Anyone looking to buy fresh figs in our local supermarkets and fruit shops will know that this idea of “poor man’s food” does not apply in this country. However there are some good reasons why they appear expensive. Firstly they have to be hand-picked with care. Gloves and protective clothing should be worn when picking and handling the figs as they exude a white latex that can cause skin irritation in some people. They have to be picked at just the right time - just as they start to ripen and then have only about a 3 day shelf life before they really do begin to go off very quickly and start to rot. So producers and buyers have to be very precise in getting them to market and distributed to retail outlets. Spoilage can cause big losses to producers and retailers alike. Birds can also take a toll on the crop. So, as you will realise, we are very fortunate to have our very own fig orchard here in town for anyone who relishes fresh figs. They are a hardy tree once established but

seem to do best in areas that have a dry summer. Rain when they are ready to harvest can cause them to split. They need protection from frost until established and then can cope with quite heavy frost. We had a tree on the lucerne flats in Tamworth that regularly got frosts to minus 6 and 8 degrees during winter for days on end and it did very well. They are, of course, deciduous. They like good drainage and morning sun and a good application of a NPK fertiliser or good composted animal manure to help them thrive. They can be planted in autumn and winter but also in summer, if you are able to keep the moisture up to them. They can be

grown from hardwood cuttings about 30/40 cm long, so, if a friend has a good tree, this can be done easily. These cuttings just need to be put straight into the soil at about half depth and kept moist for the roots to develop. Alternatively, with a visit to your favourite nursery you will be able to purchase an established tree in a pot ready to plant out. New trees will produce fruit in 2 to 3 years and the trees have a very long lifespan. Pruning is good for them and the local ones are kept at a very small size to make picking by hand easy and also as the best fruit sets on new growth. On various properties that we have owned over the years there have occasionally been fig trees and fig jam has been a long-time favourite. On the first place I lived after my marriage there were some very large old trees in an area on the river where there had been gold mining in the 1800’s and the figs were picked each year and initially brought home in packs on horseback from the very steep inaccessible country. Those trees must have been about 100 years old at that time. A road was eventually put in to make management of stock easier and the figs arrived home in the 4WD in much better condition! There was even a very large stonewear jar that had been the “jam jar” when my father in law had been a small boy. He remembered it being filled with jam and sealed with brown paper. It is a very large jar and would hold many kilos of jam. It is a family treasure now and serves ornamental purposes to this day.

Local’s national call-up... Local cricket followers were in a spin when it was announced former Warwick quick Mark Steketee had received a call up to the national squad and will be part of the upcoming tour of South Africa. It is just reward for the quick that cut his teeth playing cricket in Warwick. Steketee who was born in Monto but is claimed as a Warwick lad was a part of Australia’s U19 World Cup squad in 2012. He finished with eight wickets from five games in the competition, with his best returns of 3-35 coming in the semi-final against South Africa, where he dismissed Quinton De Kock off his second delivery. His best Sheffield Shield season came in 2018/19, where he was the fifth-highest wicket-taker with 42 scalps at 20.76. Steketee has been a prominent feature for the Brisbane Heat at the BBL since his domestic debut in the 2013/14 edition and is currently the team’s all-time leading wickettaker with 64 scalps at 24.67. His elevation to National selection is no doubt just dessert for some very hard work and has been met with excitement especially for his family including brother, Jason who currently plays for Maryvale and his all of his former Warwick team mates. It will also provide plenty of incentive for those young lads and girls who are seeking their own pathway to national success. The success of Steketee and Warwick’s Delissa Kimmence bear testament to the fact there is a clear pathway for young cricketers who have the ability and intent to reach the very top of the tree. There are no easy steps however - talent combined with a sprinkling of good fortune and a lot of very hard work can however make the climb to the top a little easier. All cricket fans will be watching not just the remaining finals of the BBL but the South African series as the career of Mark Steketee enters the next chapter. - Casey

NEWS DAMPENS SPORTERS ATMOSPHERE On Wednesday (27/1), the usual convivial atmosphere that is typical of a Warwick Sporters Wednesday and was significantly dampened as word spread through the field that popular long time WGC and Sporters member and one of the Owls foundation members, John ‘Jack’ Devitt had lost his long battle with illness. He had fought long and hard and even when he was no longer able to play would sit at his front door and wave to Sporters members on the third tee. Sporters and members of the Warwick golfing community extend their condolences to the McLennan family at this time. Although somewhat subdued, the competition for the Warwick Hotel trophy continued, with 53 members teeing off. It was a big effort for those who had played in the annual Australia Day Ambrose on the previous day. The winner, Eddy Raets returned a strong score of 40 points off his 15 handicap. The runner-up, and Warwick’s newest ‘house flogger’, Craig Burgess scored 38 points off his 23 handicap. Players featuring in the ball rundown were Doug Rickert (37), Keith Farrell (36), Phil the coach, Unlucky Garry and Chainsaw Al (35) and tail end Charlie Robin Farrell (34). In the NTP stakes - Garry Adcock on (5th) Robin Farrell (7th), Charlie Morrison (9th) and Gary Hanson on (16th) each collected a ball. Picking up balls at the Pro Pin on the 11th were Charlie Morrison (4), Tegan’s Dad (3), Phil the coach (2) and newest member Mark Paroz {for whom our Sporters spy and correspondent is currently on a nickname - my advice be afraid} (1). On song at the Pro pin on the 13th was Phil the coach (3), Con Seibel (2) and Unlucky Garry (1). This Wednesday (3/2) Sporters will play the

TOUGH GOING FOR LADIES The group playing the RSL Ladies individual Stableford event at the Stanthorpe Golf club (20/1) found the going tough and it was reflected in the scores. Neta Thouard has been playing consistent golf since returning from the holiday break and continued that form to win the round but not before a count back. Both Thouard and Trish Fittock finished their rounds with 30 points. Following the count back Fittock had to settle for the runner’s up spot. Kay Webb and Helen Jones both shared the rundown with 27 points Kay Webb and Helen Jones shared in the rundown with 27 points.

The Stanthorpe Golf club held the popular David Townsend Memorial golf day last Saturday playing a medley 4BBB Stableford. The day was sponsored by the RSL golfers who compete in a mid week golf competition at the club and were a fitting sponsor for this event as David Townsend in addition to being an ex-serviceman himself was responsible for initiating a mid-week competition at the club. It was the combination of Len Leigh and Viv Thouard who returned the winning score of 45 points. The pair combined well throughout their round recording either two or three points at each hole. Their one point hole at the eight was in turn off set with a birdie at the 12th hole giving them four points for that hole. They were out with a score of 22 points and in a very controlled round, came home in 23 back for their score of 43. It was an excellent result for the winning combination especially for Viv Thouard who was very chuffed at the win considering he has not been able to play a great deal of golf recently. Two teams returned 44 points and following a count back to decide the runner up scores went in favour of Rod Werner and Kev Rowling. The pair scored one point better than Ron Batterham and Scott Constable who settled for a ball in the run down. Both teams had 22 points on each nine. The run down went to 41 points and better. It was a ball each also to Richard Reardon and Graham Fraser, Wes Smith and Hayden Smith and Matt Waterworth and Nikki Waterworth. The final award was the encouragement prize for having the lowest score on the day. In a close finish, Reno Piovesan and Lorraine Evans were successful in this section. Special thanks to one of the winners, Viv Thouard, who spoke a few words on behalf of the day’s sponsor, RSL golf. He highlighted how the RSL encourage and assist ex-service people in the community. There are a number who are regular playing members of the club. This Saturday the club holds the Febru-

FITTOCK GETS THE SPORTERS’ NOD Stanthorpe Sporters last Sunday played the back nine of the Stanthorpe course. Chris Fittock and Mick Irwin each returned nett 23 for the round. The count back went the way of Christ Fittock but Irwin has been thereabouts, around the winner’s position for a few weeks now. It will not surprise if he claims the top spot in the not too distant future. Dick Hilton played a steady round to return 27 points and feature in the run down. Matt Waterworth with 38 strokes for the nine holes had the best round of the day. Things could have been even better but for a couple of wayward shots coming into the green. The chips went to Angelo Maugeri for his nett 39 for the round, after it was decided to award the prize for the nett score on the day. Who knows, next week it might be the highest gross score. The organisers plan to keep everyone guessing and on their game. Sporters will go around again next Sunday morning with the front nine in play. There is always an open Invitation to everyone to come and try. Play commences at 7.30 am.

Casey O’Connor clubs enclosed in plastic pipes attached to either side of his bike. Bob also enjoyed the recognition, the yahooing and calls from his exjuniors that he received while on his bike. Bob continued to be an active member at the club and only recently became less involved in playing because of his health issues. However he continued to take interest in the club keeping up with the news either by the phone calls or visits from club members which he enjoyed. He always wanted to know, “What’s going on or what was somebody’s’ handicap these days”. Sadly, Bob has passed away recently. He will be missed by all those who knew him. Hopefully there is a spot for Wattsy at that big club on the other side as we all know he was preparing for that eventuality. Bob Watt’s played a great round. RIP old friend. Condolences are extended to Bob’s family.

ANNE LYONS CLEANS UP With the first month of the New Year behind us the fields at the Warwick Golf Club for the Warwick Ladies competition have begun to pick up. Twenty-three ladies took out cards in the single Stableford event on last Wednesday (27/1). Jill Barnes who generously sponsored both the prizes for the winner and runner-up handed vouchers for the Weeping Mulberry to a very excited Anne Lyons. She scored an excellent 38pts, three clear of the field. It should have been no surprise after hearing husband Danny wax lyrical about her play in the two ball Ambrose on Australia Day. A little research would suggest that this was Anne’s second best round ever and she now finds herself on a handicap of 22.9. Still a relevant newcomer to the game, Anne puts plenty of time and effort into her game and is reaping the rewards. Well done. The Runner-up with 35pts was past member Lynne Hamilton who after an absence of several years Lynne has re-joined the club and judging by her round obviously has not lost her touch. Lynne also received a Weeping Mulberry voucher. Balls in the run-down went to Helen Olsen, Anna Cox and Mary Young (34), Jill Barnes, Wendy Rhea and Kath Devereux (33). On Saturday eleven couples tried their hand at Canadian Foursomes, a game that many have not played for some time. Wendy Rhea and Sam Hinze handled the stressful format better than the rest, returning a creditable 72.125 nett to win the vouchers kindly donated by the Warwick Junior Golf Club. Junior Master Danielle Seibel was on hand to present the trophy to a modest Wendy who assured those watching that Sam ‘had been of some help.’ Danielle teamed with in form Anne Lyons to take home the runner-up vouchers with a close score of 72.375 nett. Anna Cox and Vonnie Pinington and Mary Young and Louise Carey won the balls in the run-down with 75.625 and 76 nett respectively. Next weekend is a big weekend of golf with the traditional opening of the season being played on Sunday. Opening Day goes back as far as the Club’s history but often the season didn’t ‘open’ until March or even April in some years. Opening Day 2021 will be a medley aggregate Stableford; so find any partner and put your name on the shotgun timesheet. Simply play your own Stableford game and combine your score with your partner’s score at the end of play. The Club’s Pro, Sam Eaves is sponsoring Sunday’s event the Club wishes to thank Sam for his support. On Saturday, things will be a little more serious as players line up in the February Monthly Medal. The Condamine Club, Hawker Road has agreed to come back on board with the sponsorship of the Monthly Medals again in 2021 and their support is appreciated. The Warwick Golf Club lost one of its long standing members this week with the sudden passing of John Devitt and our sincere condolences are extended to Melanie, Scott, Eliza and Sam as they say goodbye to their much loved father, grandfather and friend. John Devitt was always a strong supporter of women golfers and he will be missed.

RUGBY OFFER ON TABLE FOR LIONS AND SOUTH AFRICANS New chief Executive Rugby Australia Andy Marinos will give Wallabies coach Dave Rennie autonomy in regards to running the national team. However the new man at the top stressed it is imperative for the Wallabies to deliver better results on the park if Rugby Union is to improve the overall health of the code which is currently striving for greater relevance. Marinos made these comments as he reiterated Chairman Hamish McLennan’s surprise offer to host the British and Irish Lions for Test matches against South Africa later this year after it appears the current COVID 19 situation in South Africa could scuttle the proposed tour. Marinos said it is up to national unions around the world to help each other out to

Australia Day Triatalon organisers Stephen Kay, Roger O’Brien and Peter McGlashan take a well earned rest. ensure there is as much rugby content as possible in 2021. The offer from Rugby Australia gives a glimmer of hope that the Test series could take place this northern hemisphere summer. McLennan has reached out to the South African Rugby Union, the RFU chairman, Andy Cosslett, and to the World Rugby chairman, Bill Beaumont with an offer to host the entire series in Australia. While the offer is on the table as McLennan said the decision ultimately rests with them.

AUSTRALIA DAY COMP A BONUS The Australia Day competition provided a bonus day of golf for many Warwick golfers and attracted a great field of 158 players, a credit to the organizers. Past junior member Eliza McLennan teamed with Connor Cruice and scooped the pool with a winning a superb winning score of 55.5 nett in the Ambrose. Keeping it in the family, Eliza’s mother Mel teamed with Rhys Farrell to be the runner-up in the Mixed event with 62 nett. (The only other of the ladies to win a trophy). Promising junior Dakota Landrigan won a pin shot teaming with her dad Brendon. Perhaps the happiest golfer was Anthony Seidl who scored a hole-in-one on the 11th. Anthony has had a great start to 2021 - this is his second ace so far this year.

ROOT TO JOIN ELITE GROUP OF ENGLISH PLAYERS A century of Test caps beckons for Joe Root as the Test series between England and India gets underway. The milestone represents reward for both a good sense of humour. Nine years after a ringing endorsement from the Pom’s then batting coach led to Root’s initial Test call-up - and subsequent debut in Nagpur Root heads into Friday’s much-anticipated first Test at Chennai with 99 caps in the bag. Thorpe who is one of only 14 England cricketers in this elite 100 Cap club is the national team’s assistant coach and batting lead on tour said, “To play 100 Test matches is no mean feat. Joe and his family will be very proud. “It is a real achievement because of the longevity of it. You need a good sense of humour to play that amount of cricket, because you will experience highs but there will be some moments in there where you have your lows. “You have to show a bit of character and resilience, keep adapting and sometimes you will have to tinker with your technique, and you have to manage all of that.” Root could hardly go into the series in better form before the four-match series, after scoring 426 runs during the 2-0 win in Sri Lanka and chalking up centuries in successive Tests for the first time in his career.

England cannot rely on the blade of one batsman, however, and must deliver as a collective if they are to prevail against an Indian side with their tails up after their recent series win in Australia.

Following is a tribute prepared for Spin by Aaron Simmers, a long time member of the club and good friend of Bob’s. Robert Watts, member of the Stanthorpe Golf Club, sadly passed away after fighting a number of health issues. Often referred to as Bob, Bobby, Wattsy or ‘Hemi’, he was heavily involved in the Stanthorpe Golf Club. During his time as a member, Bob involved himself in the affairs of the club, was a regular playing member, a committee member and at one time was the Club Captain. During the week, when not playing golf, he would be seen out on the course with a shovel or rake assisting the greenkeepers in the preparations of the course. He was a big and strong man and if offering to shake your hand, get ready to be crushed. In many ways, he was very gentle, especially when youngsters were involved. His greatest involvement within the club was through his commitment to the development of junior golfers. Stanthorpe Golf Club had been a leader in junior golf development previous to Bob’s involvement, but for a period of time this involvement had been in decline. The decline prompted Bob to offer his services to become the junior golf mentor at the club. On Saturday mornings, Bob would arrive early at the course and organise the programme, at first with a handful of juniors. The numbers quickly swelled and it was not long before Bob had more and more junior members on the books. At one stage, Stanthorpe had the highest number of junior golfers in the zone. He was very well liked by the juniors that attended and was very patient with the progress of each player. It didn’t matter to Bob if good or bad, the same attention was given to all. By now, not only boys were on the membership list but also a number of girls who took up the sport. As well as general coaching of junior golf, Bob was instrumental in the continued development of the juniors. He would accompany the junior pennants team to various competitions, arrange for players to take part in junior ‘Open’ carnivals and make arrangements for some of the better juniors to play at different courses when available. Later, as Bob’s involvement with juniors lessened due but his golfing continued many of his ex-junior members, took much delight and enjoyment in spotting Wattsy on his blue moped going either to or from the course. His

One look at the scorecard from the Valleys Wanderer’s fixture game at Sheehan Oval last Saturday confirmed just one thing - a train wreck for Valleys. There really is little else you can say. Valleys won the toss and elected to bat. They were dismissed for just 25 in the 13th over. Mr Extras contributing the highest score of the day - 13 after 10 wides and one no ball from the Wanderers bowlers prevented an even more embarrassing score line. Six of the Valley’s batsmen were out for duck eggs while the top scoring batsman was David Marino who added five runs. Perhaps we should be focusing on the bowling figures. Andrew Einam took six wickets for six runs from seven overs which also included four maidens and no wides or no balls. Brendan Barker, 2/12 from four overs and Weylan Aldridge 1/5 from four (two maidens). The Wanderers fielders held their catches and supported their bowlers. Catches were taken by Mitch Drayton, Tim Harslett, Brendan Barker, Ryan Jones and Eddie Filmer had a hand in a run out. In reply it did not take much for Wanderers to reach the target helped along by nine wides. They did however loose the wicket of Mitch Drayton for just one run after facing just six deliveries. Tim Harslett (7 n/o) and Barry Bulow (9 n/o) guided Wanderers to the easiest of wins.

RSL BANK ANOTHER WIN With the CF white Oval still out of commission RSL agreed to move their game to Shirley Park Tenterfield. Relocating their game had little to no effect on their performance and they continued their winning run with a six wicket win. Tenterfield batted first setting the visitors 98 to win after they were dismissed for 97 in the 22nd over. Luke Mayne (29) and Ben Austin (20) were the best of the Tenterfield batsmen and looked dangerous before they both fell victim to the bowling of Ryan Hines. Bill Sheather might just get called on to bat up the order after a spirited 18 runs at the bottom of the order. Nick Lawer with ball in hand proved a problem for the Tenterfield batsmen. He finished with 4/19 from five overs. Noah Mackenzie took2/26 and Ryan Hines 2/16. The RSL bowlers contributed 15 to the Tenterfield total with wides and a no ball. RSL cruised to victory in the 25th over but not before the loss of four wickets and perhaps a few nervous moments for their supports. Rohan Brady topped the standings with the bat scoring a gritty 24 only to be outdone by you guessed it Mr Extras - six no balls and 18 wides. Opener Dave Becker was out cheaply for four. His opening partner Neil Perrit scored 18 from 19 deliveries before he became Shearwater’s second scalp. Josh and Brody Parker also took a wicket each. RSL maintains a six point lead over Wanderers at the end of 14 but have played one game more. This week Souths take on Valleys at Sheehan Oval and at Shirley Park Wanderers will be looking for a win over Tenterfield to narrow the gap between the top two teams.
