Millions for kids cently announced an additional $5.28 million would be distributed to 23 services across the electorate under round three of the Australian government’s Community Child Care Fund.

“It will be good for our local kids, good for our hard-working families and ultimately for our community,” he said.

“It will also have a positive economic benefit by allowing more local parents to get back

into work or to take on additional hours if they choose.”

“The funds will support services across Maranoa that may need support to keep operating, or to fund capital projects to improve services and increase the number of places available.

“In some remote areas, there may only be one or two child care services operating, so it is critical we keep these open and help improve

and expand facilities so more kids can attend.“ Other child care centres in the Southern Downs that received funding included Free Range Kids Wallangarra, Wheatvale Outside Hours School Care, PCYC Goondiwindi SS Outside Hours Care, Wrigglers and Gigglers Child Care Centre in Texas, and Inglewood Childcare and Kindergarten.

The death of David Sommerlad has removed a link with country newspapers which went back generations, from the time when the local rag was all powerful, and through the years as its role was influenced and challenged.

For Country Press true believers that role is still significant but has to meet challenges today that hadn’t even been thought of in the early days.

Throughout all this change to the country media landscape the Sommerlad family and in particular David, have been to the forefront.

David from his time in the family newspaper interests in the New England, to the important step he took in leading country press in New South Wales and indeed Australia as an administrator. He stepped in to help when the association needed it.

For many of us he had no peer, and to all he carried out his role with the firm conviction of a journalist of the old school to whom

facts and accuracy were always paramount.

The Sommerlad family - David in particular, and the Bradley families have been associates and friends for generations.

I was grateful for his guidance during my term as CPNSW president and, as a member of the executive for many years, looked upon him as mentor, whose experience I valued and appreciated.

David had a plan – to record the history of the Country Press Association of New South Wales, but it did not eventuate. Failing health meant he could not do justice to the amazing collection of Association memorabilia he accumulated in his garage as the membership faltered from over 120 to just 14 members under the abandonment of it by Fairfax interests.

It was a sad and nostalgic day when half a dozen executive councillors, many of them life members, gathered at David’s home in Castle Hill to help go through and sort the valuable

items from clutter. For most of us it was the last time we would see David and it is sad to recall him not at his best. It was also sad to realise that much of the history of the association was going to be lost along with memories a great many hold dear.

From a personal perspective I had considerable respect for David – he possessed qualities I greatly admired. Through our long association I considered both him and Joan friends to whom one would gravitate at the many conferences over many years and in many states.

While David had been away from NSW Country Press matters for some years, his influence was of most significance in its history.

Often serious but with a humorous side which shone at many a conference, we miss him and still enjoy reflecting on those days.

Our thoughts are with Joan and his family.

Support for dam Dear Editor, Response to Mr. Morison from paper 12th of August.

Dear Mr. Morison, Please don’t let the facts get in the way of your own agenda.

The squeaky wheel they say makes the most noise.

All we keep hearing is lots of squeaking from the few POWters as they go round and round on their merry go round.

You say our letter was childish but you still fail to provide what is needed?

Facts! It’s pretty childish how not wanting extra water security on the premise that “you just don’t like the greedy Irrigators“ is all you have.

It’s not good enough to just simply “nit pick“ the odd sentence here and there from thousands of pages of documents in reports

So while you bust a pooper valve saving up for your new half page ad (at least you’re supporting some local talent) maybe you and the mysterious POWters could come up with a “REAL“ solution to the next drought? Where is the POWters’ detailed business case? We all wait with baited breath for that one.

On another note the Bromance between one of the Councillors and one of the POWters is an ongoing source of entertainment.

The Councillor is a rather handsome rooster so we fully understand the want for his attention.

The editor’s desk I’m thrilled to report that the Stanthorpe Vaccine Clinic provided over 1500 locals with their first jab, and I have high hopes for the numbers we’ll see in Warwick later this month.

On the weekend I drove to Brisbane to see my family, who I’ve had very limited in-person contact with since I moved here.

It was my brother’s birthday at the start of the month, and I was all ready to see him when the lockdown came into effect.

I feel so lucky and privileged to be in a safe area right now, and even the small experience of being unable to see my family really made me feel for those who have been unable to for so long now.

I myself have gotten the jab, and I can’t encourage locals enough to register for the upcoming clinics. We’re so lucky here, but our freedom is so precarious.

I spoke to a couple of locals at the Stanthorpe clinic and I was so happy to see that high schoolers were in attendance.

Fingers crossed we see more young Australians having access to the vaccine soon.

The Warwick clinic will run from 24-28 August at the Showgrounds.

Texas is also running a clinic on 19 and 20 August.

Strong jab turnout

By Dominique Tassell More than 1500 locals got their jab at the vaccine clinics held in Stanthorpe from 10-13 August.

This follows the recent Goondiwindi clinic, which saw more than 3000 residents get their first shot of the vaccine.

Locals lining up to get their shot included 16-year-old Breanna Chawner.

The Stanthorpe State High School student said it didn’t hurt at all, and she was grateful for the opportunity to get it.

Jacob O’Brien, 21, got his first shot too.

He said getting the vaccine through the clinic was easy and straightforward.

Ros Day, 63, got her first shot of Pfizer and said the clinics are “a great service to the rural community and should be encouraged“.

A Darling Downs Health spokesperson

stated that “Darling Downs Health’s COVID-19 vaccination clinic at Stanthorpe last week was one in a series of clinics we have held and are continuing to hold throughout the communities we serve”.

“The Stanthorpe clinic was very well supported with more than 1,640 doses of Pfizer vaccine provided over three-and-a-half days.

“The clinic was open to people aged 16 to 59 and was attended by people from throughout this age bracket.“ The representative said they now “look forward to providing our next Southern Downs clinics which will be held at Texas this week on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 July“ Annette Scott, Health Emergency Operations Centre Executive Lead, said the Texas vaccination clinic “will ensure better protection for communities around the border areas and Southern Downs“.

“We have seen how the COVID-19 landscape can change quite quickly so we want to ensure that residents in these areas have ready access to vaccinations.”

The two-day clinic will be held in the Memorial Hall and will welcome walk-in appointments only.

A vaccine clinic will also be held in Warwick from Tuesday 24 to Saturday 28 August.

The clinic will be at Warwick Showgrounds and will be held from 8:30am to 3:50pm on Tuesday to Friday, and 8:30am to 1pm on Saturday.

DDH stated that “everyone aged 16 years and above is encouraged to attend the vaccination clinics“.

“However, residents over 60 years are reminded that Astra Zeneca is the preferred vaccination for that age group.

“If you plan to attend the clinic, please

“Darling Downs Health is rolling out COVID-19 vaccination clinics as part of a staged approach and we have been very happy with the response from our communities.

Stanthorpe childcare centres to receive funding boost

By Jess Baker Two Stanthorpe childcare services will benefit from a multi-million dollar investment by the federal government.

Member for Maranoa David Littleproud recently announced an additional $5.28 million would be distributed to 23 services across the electorate under round three of the Australian government’s Community Child Care Fund.

The fund was designed to improve access to child care for working families in remote, regional and disadvantaged communities.

Stanthorpe child care services Milestones Early Learning and Aussie Kindies Early Learning are among eight Southern Downs services set to benefit from the funding.

Mr Littleproud said the funding would help local child care services improve access to quality care.

“It will be good for our local kids, good for our hard-working families and ultimately for our community,” he said.

“It will also have a positive economic benefit by allowing more local parents to get back into work or to take on additional hours

if they choose.”

“The funds will support services across Maranoa that may need support to keep operating, or to fund capital projects to improve services and increase the number of places available.

“In some remote areas, there may only be one or two child care services operating, so it is critical we keep these open and help improve and expand facilities so more kids can attend.“ Neither Aussie Kindies nor Milestones could confirm how much funding they re-

ceived, or what it would be used for, but those details are expected to come to light in the coming weeks.

Other child care centres in the Southern Downs that received funding included Free Range Kids Wallangarra, Wheatvale Outside Hours School Care, PCYC Goondiwindi SS Outside Hours Care, Wrigglers and Gigglers Child Care Centre in Texas, and Inglewood Childcare and Kindergarten.

More than 640 child care services will receive a share of about $100 million in funding through the latest round of the Community Child Care Fund.

Netball courts damaged

By Dominique Tassell

12508987-AV34-21

The new Stanthorpe Netball Courts have been defaced by locals on scooters and skateboards, dividing the community.

Stanthorpe Netball Association posted on Facebook alerting the community to the issue, stating they were worried about the impact of the unauthorised use on the new courts.

“The volunteers of the netball association have worked tirelessly over the past 4 years to try and secure the massive amount of funds that was needed to build these courts.”

“It will be very sad if this facility is being used for other activities that puts jeopardy to the life of our courts.

“The colour of the courts is extremely expensive and we don’t want to see it being damaged.

“We have put up security cameras to try to identify the offenders but would prefer to ask nicely before involving the council or police.

“The council have provided a skate park for scooters and skateboards and we would appreciate if people could use the skate park in

preference to our courts.”

Lynne Nathan commented that “the skate park really is very small and not very challenging when kids see what they’ve been doing in the Olympics”.

“Scooters and skateboards in the same place is like board and body surfers in the same space.

“They can’t use the paths along Quart Pot Creek because of pedestrians.

“Not much choice for kids who aspire to go to 2032 games!”

She later stated it would “be nice to have something like Australiana Park in Warwick”.

Janine MacCarthy commented that local kids using facilities other than the skate park was an ongoing problem, and is due to the skate park not receiving funding.

Tamarah Forbes commented that “the skate park is so small and definitely needs an upgrade”.

“Little kids don’t have room to skate when all the bigger kids use the skate park, maybe they’re (using the netball courts) because it’s less busy”.

The Stanthorpe Courts are new and the club worries about the impact of the unauthorised use on the court.

Picture: Dominique Tassell “Also the skate park is on the other side of town; people living up near Folkstone the hospital (sic) have to ride all the way to the other side of town for the skate park.

“Some little kids are not allowed to do that and riding on the road is dangerous enough and footpaths aren’t wide enough.

“Of course people are going to ride on something so big and flat with lots of room.”

Nathan Lee replied that the skate park is good enough and should be used.

“Other sports facilities in this town have gone to ruin, maybe parents should try and get

their kids to diversity (sic) instead of the same park they can get themselves too (sic).”

Tamarah responded that she believes the Stanthorpe skate park is the “most crappiest skate park in all of Queensland”.

The courts have a sign up stating that use of skateboards, bicycles, rollerblades, and scooters are prohibited.

Stanthorpe Police stated they have not been made aware of the problem.

However, they emphasised that because the courts are council property and are not fenced off it would be hard to pursue any legal action for trespass.

Saleyards set for revamp

By Jess Baker Southern Downs Regional Council will apply for $4.5 million in federal funding which, if successful, would cover more than half of the cost of a proposed renovation of the Warwick Saleyards.

After some discussion at the council’s 11 August ordinary meeting, all councillors present voted to submit a funding application under the federal government’s Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grants program.

They also agreed the council would contribute a minimum of $3 million towards the project.

Councillors Cynthia McDonald and Andrew Gale were absent from the meeting due to illness, according to Mayor Vic Pennisi.

A report tabled at the meeting stated the proposed redevelopment works at the saleyards would include cattle pens, amenities, canteen and administration office, as well as car and truck parking and internal roadworks.

“The improvement to the Saleyards facility will assist (the) council in attracting more business to the Saleyards, thus driving regional economic growth and assisting with the creation of new jobs through construction and ongoing operations,” read the report.

Chief executive officer Dave Burges said a preliminary design for the redevelopment would be completed by the end of the month, in time for the application to be submitted to the federal government.

At that time, he said the Saleyards Advisory Committee will be consulted and the community informed.

Mayor Pennisi said the community would be engaged in a way yet to be determined by the council.

“I think there’d be an expectation from

Southern Downs Regional Council has agreed to apply for federal funding to help see the Warwick Saleyards renovated. some of the councillors that it goes to the community and we’ll make that decision as we go forward,” he said.

Southern Downs councillors voted narrowly in favour of a $7.5 million upgrade of the saleyards on Wednesday 24 February, rejecting other more expensive options for the site including a “full redevelopment” of the existing site and building an entirely new facility on a new site.

The rejected options, known as the ‘brownfield’ and ‘greenfield’ options, were costed by consultants in a council business case at $13.9 million and $15.6 million respectively.

Councillors Vic Pennisi, Ross Bartley, Andrew Gale, Stephen Tancred and Cameron Gow voted in favour of the $7.5 million option at the time, while councillors Jo McNally, Sher-

yl Windle, Cynthia McDonald and Marco Gliori voted against.

Cr Pennisi said the $7.5 million option was attractive to the council as it was affordable.

“A new ‘greenfield’ site was cost-prohibitive for this council and the experts that have given their reports back to (the) council did identify the ability to renovate what we’ve got in its existing location,” Cr Pennisi said.

Mr Burges said that a “full renewal” of the existing facility would cost between $15 and $20 million, but the council had only decided to proceed with completing the “highest priority works” – ‘stage one’ of the full project – which was estimated to cost around $7.5 million.

“That resolves most of all the big issues; the workplace health and safety, the traffic management … it resolves the key issues that we’ve

identified,” Mr Burges said. “There may or may not be future stages, depending on council on the day.

“This project will address what needs to be addressed. It just may not have some of the ‘nice to haves’.”

Also during the 11 August meeting, councillors voted to apply for $230,000 in the same submission for shade structures at Weeroona Park in Stanthorpe.

If granted, the funding would be complemented by a $25,000 contribution from SDRC. “People are always looking for shade when attending events in Weeroona Park. If we are also successful in obtaining approval for this second, albeit smaller infrastructure project, it will greatly enhance the community’s experience of the park and add to the overall enjoyment of events,” Cr Pennisi said.

Projects will only be funded under the $276 million Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grants program if they aid recovery and resilience in the Southern Downs Regional Council area either socially, economically, or environmentally.

Grants are intended for local government areas affected by the 2019-20 bushfires. “(The Warwick Saleyards) is a piece of infrastructure that services the whole region. Every producer in Southern Downs has got the capacity, or got the ability, to use that facility,“ Cr Pennisi said.

“And realistically, when we had the bushfires there was some serious damage done here on the eastern side of our region here.“ He said redeveloping the Warwick Saleyards was “critically important“ and should be prioritised when funding opportunities like the Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grants program arise.

SDRC debates what to do with unexpected funding Southern Downs Regional Council has passed a motion to reallocate unexpended funds from the Local events Funding Program (LEFP), but undergone almost a half hour of debate first.

Councillor Stephen Tancred first asked to split the motion in half, as he did not agree with one portion but would support another.

He then spoke against the unexpended funds being reallocated to Granite Wine and Tourism, Warwick Art Gallery, and Stanthorpe Agricultural Society.

While he thought they were worthy events and organisations, he stated he believed the remained funds should have been reopened for tender.

Councillor Tancred also questioned why councillors were not invited to observe the committee, and stated that he did not have confidence he could ask questions and get correct answers in council meetings without being there.

He noted the decision made earlier this year in April to invite councillors to attend the grants to community committee, the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) committee, and internal funding application review panels.

“I think this LEFP funding falls under internal funding application review panel,” he said.

However, CEO Dave Burges responded that the funding was externally granted and therefore did not fall under the earlier decision.

Councillor Tancred then questioned why the RADF had to go back to tender after a 40 thousand dollar tender was not approved, but LEFP did not have to Councillor McNally stated that when RADF reopened applications, they changed the criteria.

She also stated that the events before council missed out previously due to the round being oversubscribed by worthy events.

Councillor McNally stated that they should be very grateful for the funds which

would do good things in boosting tourism to the region after the bushfires.

She also stated that planning events in the current climate is “scary” due to the uncertainty around them.

The motion was moved by Councillor McNally and seconded by Councillor Gliori.

Councillors Tancred and Bartley voted against the motion however it was still successful.

The second motion, to allocate 30 thousand dollars from the community grants funding to Motorcycle Australia.

Councillor Tancred volunteered to move the motion, stating he thought it had national significance.

He stated council were being “good corporate citizens” by standing by their commitment to the “large, national organisation”.

He spoke of Council’s contribution being “significant seed funding”.

FoxSports is a partner in the event, as is SBS.

A Council spokesperson stated that the $30,000 awarded to Motorcycle Australia will be used to pay the track fee at Morgan Park.

The spokesperson emphasised the television coverage that would come with the event and that the event would have a significant economic impact.

This economic impact is attributed to “134 competitors, 770 support staff, 7500 spectators and fans in addition to the live reach numbers”.

They stated there was a total spend in the local economy of $2.9m.

Councillor McNally seconded the motion, calling it a “huge coup for our region”.

She stated she hoped the communications technology at Morgan Park would be upgraded prior to the event, as this had been identified as a problem previously.

Many have questioned why a national event is getting such significant funding when local community events are also in need of it.

Welcome for Olympians

By Dominique Tassell Our Olympians are set to get quite the welcome home, with multiple events planned across the state.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced on 15 August that Queensland Olympic and Paralympic athletes would be given a welcome home parade through Brisbane’s Queen Street Mall on October 8.

In Allora, plans are in place to welcome Matthew Denny home on 10 September.

A spokesperson for the event said “the community of Allora couldn’t be prouder of him and his achievements“.

The event will feature “a good old-fashioned street parade replete with banners, streamers and an open-top car“.

It will start at 2:30pm, making its way down Warwick Street and into Herbert Street, stopping at the Allora Regional Sports Museum before heading to the Allora Sports Club.

There will be a BBQ and drinks, and a chance to mingle and chat with Matthew and his supporters.

“Matt is known as a star athlete and a true gentleman,” says Perry Cronin, founder of the Allora Regional Sports Museum.

“He was definitely the highlight of the Olympics for Allora.”

Matthew is one of a host of sportspeople Allora, but stands out as the only dual Olympian in the group.

Matthew Denny is set to get multiple welcome home events, with one planned in Allora for him alone.

Charlotte Caslick was mentioned in relation to the SDRC event, with Council saying they would make sure all Olympians were invited.

Harriet Hudson is sure to be a focus of the SDRC event, hailing from Warwick and winning bronze this year.

All of them are honoured in the Allora Regional Museum which those behind the event highly encourage locals visit.

A welcome home event was also discussed

by Southern Downs Regional Council in the 11 August Council meeting.

Mayor Vic Pennisi raised the event in his mayoral minutes, suggesting a morning tea or similar event to welcome home Matthew Denny, Harriet Hudson, and Charlotte Caslick.

Councillor Marco Gliori stated he and Councillor Sheryl Windle had been in contact

with Allora Sports Museum and said he was “sure they’ll appreciate that Council are taking a proactive step“.

Councillor Jo McNally stated that for a small region, we had done very well in having so many accomplished athletes.

SDRC requests locals tidy up around their water meters

With water meter readings beginning across the region from Monday 23 August 2021, Southern Downs Regional Council has encouraged residents to ensure that water meters are easily and safely accessible.

With water meter readings beginning across the region from Monday 23 August 2021, Southern Downs Regional Council has encouraged residents to ensure that water meters are easily and safely accessible.

A Southern Downs Regional Council spokesperson said a quick check around the water meter to ensure it is free from garden vegetation and other obstacles would ensure minimal disruption to gardens and assist with an accurate reading.

“As ratepayers are responsible for water infrastructure located on their property’s side of the water meter, it’s helpful if they ensure meters are free from debris, grass, garden mulch, soil and other obstacles,” the spokesperson said.

“Council staff will always make sure the water meter and surrounding area is returned to the way it was upon arrival.”

SDRC has also requested that residents ensure meter readers can easily gain entry to their property and water meter.

Council stated that if meter readers are unable to access a property because gates are locked or animals prevent entry, a calling card will be left asking residents to contact Council.

Water Notices are scheduled to be issued in October 2021 with the due date being 30 days after the date of issue.

Road repairs still pending

By Jess Baker Works to repair hundreds of Southern Downs roads following heavy rain in February last year are now just 40 per cent complete, with the remaining works required to be completed by next June to be eligible for funding.

In an Infrastructure Services Monthly Report tabled at a general Southern Downs Regional Council meeting last week, it was estimated between $3.7 million and $5 million – and 312 kilometres – of ground works were still to be completed under the 2020 Reconstruction of Essential Public Assets program.

“Delivery of these works are the priority with only 10 months remaining to complete these works,” the progress report read.

An SDRC spokeswoman said the cost to repair road damage caused during last year’s “flood event” was approximately $9 million.

Approximately 30 per cent of the repair works approved under the 2020 restoration program had been completed by March this year, when the Southern Downs region experienced another bout of heavy rain.

Though the rain was welcomed, it exacerbated the existing damage and delayed repairs, and the council had to apply for additional funding.

“Unfortunately, due to the timing of the disaster event funding programs, and in order to ensure the maximum cost reimbursement to (SDRC), it has not always (been) possible for the road network to be graded in a normal sequence,” a council spokeswoman said.

To be eligible for funding, works to repair damage caused by rain in February last year must be completed by June 2022 while works to repair damaged caused by rain in March this year must be completed by June 2023.

Council officers have estimated the cost of repairing road damage resulting from this year’s heavy rains “could be as much as $8 million”.

In a report tabled at last week’s ordinary meeting, it was estimated a total of 610 roads had been damaged due to flooding.

“Assessing all these roads is a significant workload and we are working to make more people available to undertake this task,” the report read.

The report stated three labour crews worked to repair roads in Allora, Leyburn, Pikedale, Thanes Creek and Warwick throughout July. An additional two SDRC crews would work in Maryvale and Emu Vale throughout August.

“Other crews will be working in Thanes Creek, Allora, Pikedale and Warwick moving through Connolly Dam into Killarney,” the report read.

It was estimated the total remaining works, for damage caused both last year and this year, would cost between $8 and $12 million.

An SDRC spokeswoman said approximately $1.1 million of emergency works, immediate reconstruction works, and restoration of essential public asset works had been completed following this year’s heavy rain event.

When asked if the council was concerned that another flooding event at the beginning of 2022 could delay both repair projects even further, the spokeswoman said it would “always mobilise and respond to flood effects as they arise”.

“With the region’s catchments saturated,

the possibility of another flood event is very real,” she said.

“If the region endures another similar flood event in the foreseeable (future), the effects on the current program will need to be evaluated.”

The spokeswoman thanked the community for its cooperation while the council worked with the relevant authority to rebuild Southern Downs’ damaged roads. “(The) council is thankful for the patient and respectful way in which the community cooperated with changed road conditions and rules whilst emergency safety road works were in progress immediately following the floods,” she said.

“The delivery of improvements to the road network will take time (to) complete and we ask the community for their patience while this work is carried out.”

All eligible restoration works are jointly funded under the commonwealth and state governments’ Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements and are administered by the Queensland Reconstruction Authority.

Southern Downs students awarded solar scholarships

By Jess Baker Two young academics from the Southern Downs have been awarded scholarships that will see them financially supported in their studies at the University of Queensland.

Benjamin Guy from Warwick and Benjamin Rogers from Applethorpe were the inaugural recipients of the Warwick Solar Farm – Bright Futures Scholarship, each receiving $5000 scholarships.

After graduating from Assumption College last year, Mr Guy moved from Warwick to Brisbane to study a Bachelor of Computer Science with a major in machine learning.

“My interest in majoring in this field comes from the impressive continual advancements in technology such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality,” Mr Guy said.

“To be on the forefront of developing such technology would certainly be a goal I am striving for.

“Moving from Warwick, which is such a small town, to Brisbane has been an exciting experience and I am loving my time studying at UQ and enjoying the challenges and opportunities.”

Mr Rogers, a first-year engineering student, said he hoped to major in mechanical or aerospace engineering so he could one day work in the renewable energy or recycling industry.

He too moved to Brisbane to pursue his study goals, shortly after graduating from Stanthorpe State High School.

“I am proud and honoured to be named a Bright Futures Scholar and I hope I’m able to develop into a strong member of the engineering industry in the exciting future that

“This scholarship will help my transition into university studies at UQ by supporting me in accessing accommodation and study resources – along with providing me with the best possible opportunity to become a successful engineer.”

UQ Vice-Chancellor Professor Deborah Terry congratulated Mr Guy and Mr Rogers on their scholarships.

“UQ is not only committed to being a global leader in sustainability but also supporting Queensland communities, especially in major regional centres, like the Darling Downs,” Professor Terry said.

“Some new students, like these young men, leave their family and community behind and face challenges that are unique to those of their city classmates.”

SDRC adopts art policy

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council has approved a public art policy and procedure, with one councillor making a significant amount of minor changes in the meeting.

The purpose of the new policy is stated in Council documents as establishing “Council’s role in arts and cultural development in the region’s public domain”.

It will do this by providing “a vision and framework identifying key opportunities and strategies for implementation, which drive arts and cultural development in the Southern Downs Region”.

It will also provide “a ‘blue print’ used by the Council to guide the decision-making on where to strategically best allocate the available resources”.

The draft Public Art Policy and associated procedure were presented to Council on the 16 June 2021, with feedback being collated and

included in the draft released to the community.

During the month of July 2021, the revised draft Public Art Policy and associated procedure were released for public consultation, with eight responses being received.

The main feedback was for the community to have greater input into the selection of the Public Art Reference Group (“PARG”) and for the PARG to be an approval group, not just a group that recommends to Council.

“Council is committed to ensuring Public Art is sensitive to its environment and all proposals for Public Art and collections ae subject to uniform evaluation processes. Public Art collected by Council will reflect community values and aspirations. Public Art commissioned or collected by Council represents important work held in trust for the public for the future.”

The document states that Public Art Policy

will address the themes of infrastructure, community and lifestyle, and growth and opportunity.

The policy will ensure appropriately developed, maintained and enhanced community infrastructure, in which facilities and spaces are driven by the cultural aspirations of the users and the real needs of the programs and services are delivered.

The policy aims to create an environment where arts and cultural activities can.

The policy also aims to contribute to the development of the arts and cultural sector, within broader regional economic development activities, including promotion and cultural tourism, and enhancement of the economic viability of individuals and creative businesses working in the Southern Downs Region.

The document also laid out details of the Public Art Reference Group (PARG) and who would be on the group.

The document stipulates that membership must include both Stanthorpe and Warwick Art Gallery representatives.

Councillor Stephen Tancred raised 13 queries over the police and procedure, ranging from comma placement, to the definition of “community” in the documents, and whether funding groups like the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) should receive a mention on any relevant plaques.

Councillor Ross Bartley also brought forward a point about the effects of public domain, stating that if council had say over what was done with works on private property, then it was not privately owned.

Councillor Jo McNally moved the motion, stating she was glad see the policy and procedure before Council as it had been in the works for two and a half terms.

Councillor Marco Gliori seconded the motion, and it was moved unanimously.

Library under budget and SDRC no longer need quotes

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) carried a motion on 11 August to no longer request quotes or tenders for the purchase of library materials, due to the specialised nature of the supplies.

A report was provided detailing where the libraries obtains supplies and the average amount spent.

The library sources standard print titles through all the main suppliers in the Queensland market.

Standard print titles are obtains through three suppliers: Peter Pal, James Bennett, and

The Book House.

Smaller specialist suppliers such as MDM, Sound Text Media and Phoenix are also used.

The report noted that purchases are dependent on many factors including when suppliers visit and what stock is available.

All suppliers are part of the LocalBuy library contract and the item price is usually the same regardless of supplier.

Items purchased online are to fill customer requests, gaps in the collection and online resources.

To date for 2020/2021, SDRC libraries have spent $17,077.49 on supplies through Book House (Campion Education).

SDRC libraries have bought $14,311.20 worth of supplies from James Bennett.

Supplies totalling $11,768.17 have been purchased from Peter Pal (Lugton Family Trust).

Finally, $1976.61 have been spent of supplies from Sound Text Media.

Nothing has been purchased from Phoenix due to Covid-19.

Magazines are purchased through the local newsagents in Warwick and Stanthorpe.

The report stated that “as magazine prices are standard wherever they are purchased, there are no savings to be made by ‘shopping around’”.

“There are online magazine subscription agencies, but using one of these would incur postage costs and would no longer allow the library service to support local businesses.”

To date in the 2020/21 period, $3732.33 has been spent at Hynes Newsagency in Warwick.

In that same period, $1567.28 has been spent at Stanthorpe Newsagency.

The report stated that Large Print (LP) books and non-print material, such as jigsaws and audio-visual items, are purchased through specialist suppliers, most of whom have access to exclusive content via partnerships with various publishing imprints.

Dance for support

By Jess Baker The Stanthorpe community has thrown its support behind two young mums as they navigate diagnoses, treatment, and living with health issues.

Debbie-Ann Wilmot, owner of boutique gift shop Gracious Giving and member of the Stanthorpe Cancer Support Group, has helped lead a number of events to raise funds for the families.

Next week, on Saturday 4 September, the support group will continue its efforts and host a dinner dance at the International Club Stanthorpe.

“We’re helping two families at the moment.

One is a young 32-year-old mum with three

kids under seven, who’s struggling with breast cancer,” Debbie-Ann said.

“The other is a young 25-year-old mum who’s had to have a heart transplant.

“So we’re doing a fundraiser specifically to help those two families through one of the most traumatic times in their lives.”

The dinner dance will include a two-course meal and music by local band Two Wheel Drive, formerly known as Reloaded.

“They have generously volunteered their time to support these beautiful young mums on their illness journeys,” Debbie-Ann said.

“And the Stanthorpe community are great.

They always rally around.

“I’ve said to both these mums that we’ll walk the journey with them – we’ll help them

through – and that’s what we’re doing; that’s what the dinner dance is for. To help them be able to be mums to their children and get better.”

Tickets to the dinner dance are $50 each and are available for purchase at Gracious Giving Stanthorpe.

“They can ring and book a table. There are still plenty of seats available,” Debbie-Ann said.

“It would be wonderful if people could get their friends and family together and maybe organise a group and come along and support a good cause.”

For more information, contact Gracious Giving at (07) 4681 4700 or visit the store at 24 Maryland St, Stanthorpe.

Zonta donates to charities

By Zonta Club Of Stanthorpe Last week, Rosemary McMahon and Desleigh Volpato, on behalf of the Zonta Club of Stanthorpe, were very happy to donate funds to Protea Place from money raised at a recent Black and White Charity Dinner held at the International Club.

Funds were also allocated to local charities The Stanthorpe Cancer Support Group and Boomerang Bags.

Protea Place has supported over 1200 women so far this year, as a day centre to assist homeless women.

It provides clothing and meal packs, toiletry packs, housing support, laundry and shower facilities as well as domestic family violence support.

They provide assistance in finding training to improve chances of employment, thereby improving their financial outcomes.

Protea Place is all about empowering women. They will have their major fundraiser for the year on 9 October, an 80s Glitz and Glamour Progressive Dinner, which will help to keep these important doors open for women in need.

Desleigh Volpato (L) and Rosemary McMahon (R) presented a $1000 cheque to Protea Place CEO Amanda Dalton last week.

Artworks Granite Belt puts locals in focus

There will be a light supper provided.

A series of wildflower walks will start on Sunday 22 August and continue over the next three months.

The Granite Belt’s unique flora will be the focus of the wildflower walks, held by the Stanthorpe Rare Wildflower Consortium.

The first walk on Sunday 22 August will be held in the Amiens State Forest, just west of Stanthorpe.

Spokesperson for the Consortium, Liz Bourne, said the walks aimed to show people some of the diversity of the flora of the Granite Belt as well as helping them to identify local species and learn more about their ecological requirements.

“We have been running these springtime walks for a number of years now and they have been very popular with visitors as well as the local community,” she said.

“A particular highlight of the first walk will be the endangered granite boronia, Boronia granitica, which is already in flower,” she said.

“This spectacular pink flowering shrub is only found on the Granite Belt and from a few isolated locations on the New England Tableland.

“After good autumn and winter rain, there will also be a profusion of many other wildflowers on display so there will be plenty to see in the forest.”

Ms Bourne said that as part of their activities to raise public awareness about the local flora, the group had produced a colour booklet which depicts over 250 of the species that people are most likely to come across and these would be available for sale at the walks.

She said that anyone with an interest in the Granite Belt’s wildflowers was invited to come along.

The group will be meeting outside the Amiens School at 1337 Amiens Road, 13 km west of Stanthorpe, at 9.30am and will then travel from there a short distance out to the forest.

Ms Bourne said that the walks usually took a couple of hours but people were welcome to stay longer if they want to enjoy the diversity of wildflowers the area had to offer.

The Consortium encourages participants to bring a hat and water bottle and wear sturdy footwear.

The walk should be suitable for most ages and levels of fitness.

The following walk will be on Sunday 19 September to the Broadwater State Forest and then one on Sunday 17 October to Girraween National Park.

SDRC action on waste levy The motion states that “these payments should be maintained until viable markets to divert waste from landfill have been established across Queensland and until local councils and the State Government have agreed to a sustainable phased reduction in the payments”.

The second motion calls on LGAQ to lobby the State Government to provide seed funding from the revenue raised by the Waste Levy so Councils can undertake organic and other innovative waste and resource recovery trials at the local level.

The third motion calls on LGAQ to request that the State Government resource additional biosecurity officers across Queensland in order to support local governments and the community to fulfil their requirements under

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) has finalised the motions they will be taking to the Local Government Association of Queensland’s (LGAQ) Annual Conference.

The LGAQ Annual Conference is scheduled to be held from 24 to 27 October 2021.

Any motions put forward need to be approved by Council first.

SDRC is putting forward four motions.

The first motion calls on LGAQ to lobby the State Government for the continuation of the 105 per cent waste levy advance payments for councils within the State Government Waste Levy Zone in order to cover the costs associated with the disposal of municipal solid waste to landfill.

the Biosecurity Act 2014. The fourth and final motion calls on LGAQ to request that the State Government updates Biodiversity Planning Assessments to ensure planning decisions about appropriate land use are based on current terrestrial ecological values.

In the Council meeting, Mayor Vic Pennisi stated that the motions had been thoroughly discussed, having gone to an information session previously.

“We talked about the most important ones, the ones we thought would be most relevant to the topic of the day, and the ones we’d take to the conference,” he stated.

Councillor Stephen Tancred stated that he supported all four motions.

He stated that the motion “on the completion and update of biodiversity planning as-

sessments I think is very important”.

“If these assessments are out of date, or non-existent, councils run the risk of making ill-informed decisions and that’s not what we want to be doing.

“We’ve been charged with biosecurity responsibilities for the state and if we’re going to make good decisions and be good stewards we need them to assist us.

“So I particularly support that motion.”

Councillor Jo McNally encouraged the mayor to send the four motions to the Darling Downs Council of Mayors to get their support as well.

The motion was moved by Councillor McNally, seconded by Councillor Cameron Gow and moved unanimously.

Government announces NBN upgrade for Warwick

By Dominique Tassell The Federal Government has announced Business Fibre Zones in Warwick, Dalby, and Goondiwindi in attempts to improve local NBN. This comes as Stanthorpe in particular has faced difficulties with the NBN roll out.

A long list of Stanthorpe businesses have been affected by their landlines not working after the copper line in the area was switched over to NBN. Some of the businesses have reported that their phones are now working, though it is unclear how many are still going without.

It is unclear if the Business Fibre Zone in Warwick will have an impact on Stanthorpe’s NBN.

Federal Member for Maranoa David Littleproud said the new zones will help to unlock new opportunities for business growth in regional communities.

In his statement, it was stated that 2387 businesses in the Maranoa electorate will reportedly benefit with cheaper and faster broadband from the new Business Fibre Zones.

“This is great news for Maranoa and I’m pleased to see NBN Co investing in our region’s potential with these new zones in Dalby, Warwick and Goondiwindi.”

“The zones will allow local businesses to access fibre with speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second, enabling a range of new business opportunities that previously weren’t possible.

“This has the potential to revitalise and reshape our region, from the services locals are able to access, to industries like agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism which are all major local employers in their own right.

“Access to high speed internet will allow local businesses to grow and thrive, break into new markets, and secure our long-term growth potential.

“With no upfront build costs and discounts of up to 47 per cent on NBN Co’s current wholesale plans, I am keen to see local businesses take advantage of these zones.

“Improving access to high speed, reliable, and high quality broadband in regional areas is a key part of the Australian Government’s communications plan, which is why we are investing directly in Maranoa.

“This is about levelling the playing field for our regional businesses, who will now have the same connectivity as their city counterparts.”

The zones in Warwick, Dalby, and Goondiwindi are part of 44 new zones announced that Coalition says “will help thousands of businesses participate in the digital economy on an equal footing”.

This announcement builds on an existing Business Fibre Zone in Roma, established in October last year.

“I’ve got six kids and Lauren’s got two kids,” Jade said. “We’ve got families, we’ve got mortgages, and our bills don’t stop. But at the moment, there really isn’t a lot of support in our industry.”

Rather than let all the time and money invested in preparing for the Ekka go to waste, Jade and Lauren and their staff banded together and embarked on a tour of shows, called ‘Weekend Bites’.

The boutique-style event kicked off at the Warwick Racecourse between Friday 13 and Sunday 15 August, with co-organisers Jade and Lauren and staff now on their way to their second location, Toowoomba Showgrounds.

“Normally, in 2019, we might be on the road for 45 weeks of the 52-week year,” Jade said.

“So we definitely live an amazing life travelling the roads of Australia, but now with the changing environment of this new world, we’re just trying to navigate a way to create some fun and excitement.

“We’ll 100 per cent be coming back to Warwick. It’s been such a success. It’s such a nice vibe – the music, the people. It’s just been such a fantastic environment.”

Close to 1000 people visited the Warwick Racecourse over the weekend for the show.

Allora students to reunite

By Jess Baker Allora State School will soon welcome alumni from the Year 10 classes of 1970 and 1971 back to campus to celebrate milestone anniversaries and reconnect with old friends.

The graduating class of 1970 was unable to host its 50-year reunion last year due to Covid-19, so will be celebrating with the class of 1971 in October.

Joanne Otto (nee Ellwood) is organising the 1971 class she graduated with, while Jill Weych (nee Cantwell) is organising the 1970 class.

Joanne was one of just 10 people in her graduating class who studied at Allora State School from Year 1 to 10.

She now lives at Withcott with her husband Tom, after leaving Allora to pursue a teaching degree at the Darling Downs Institute of Advanced Education in Toowoomba and a career beyond.

Joanne said planning the reunion had been a lovely experience in that it gave her a reason to reach out to friends she had lost touch with over the years.

“It’s just like 50 years hasn’t even been. You can pick up where you left off,” she said.

“Everyone you talk to has such fond memories of Allora. We all admit that we had the best time growing up in Allora and that we’re very fortunate to have spent our school years and our childhood there.”

She said she somehow remembered more from her earlier years at Allora State School than she did from her later years there, with memories of marching to Colonel Bogey and writing on slates using slate pencils some of the most vivid.

“We had the slates and little lead pencils.

And the plasticine – you’d start off with nice colours then it would just be this grey matte at the end which was pretty disgusting,” Joanne said. “(I remember) in Year 1 standing around

Allora State School Year 10 class of 1971. the piano singing Five Little Ducks Went Out One Day, learning the alphabet with the old charts, (and) the old maps that used to be in the rooms.

“All of that’s changed so much now. We’ve got countries that no longer exist that used to be on those maps and other countries that have popped up.”

Joanne said she and her old classmates were lucky to have good teachers, great principals, and interested parents throughout school.

Joanne’s own father, Lex Ellwood – known in the community as “Mr Allora” – was very vocal in pushing for improved facilities for the children of Allora at the time.

“We always had nice ovals at school and the facilities were always there,” Joanne said.

Pictures: SUPPLIED “We were lucky in that we had teachers who genuinely cared about the kids, not just at school but outside.”

Allora State School’s Year 10 classes of 1970 and 1971 are invited to attend a combined 50th reunion on Saturday 23 October 2021.

Both groups will meet at the school’s new Performing Arts Hall at 1.30pm to tour the school, have a cup of tea, and mingle with old friends.

Later in the day, at about 5.30pm, the alumni will then visit Allora Sports Club for a barbeque dinner, where partners are welcome to join.

For more information about the upcoming reunion, or to RSVP, contact Joanne Otto on 0431 855 432 or Jill Weych on 0439 756 519.

Protecting police animals The Palaszczuk Government today announced it would introduce tough new laws to protect police dogs and police horses and impose harsher penalties on those who attack the community’s faithful servants.

A Police representative stated that “police dogs and police horses play a vital role in helping to keep the community safe”.

Under these proposed new laws, the government will create a new offence targeting people who seriously injure or kill a police dog or police horse.

The new offence will be a crime, punishable by up to 5 years imprisonment.

In addition, the Police Commissioner has determined that a new meritorious service award for police dogs will be established to acknowledge the important community safety work they do.

Police Minister Mark Ryan said the need for tougher penalties was clearly illustrated by the case in February last year when Police Dog Kaos was stabbed by two offenders.

“PD Kaos was severely wounded and required urgent lifesaving veterinary care.

“The community was shocked by this attack and rightly so, the public has taken a special interest in this matter.

“The on-line community support for Police Dog Kaos and public demands for a more serious offence were quite extraordinary.

“Recently, PD Kaos received the German Shepherd Dog Council of Australia Outstanding Canine Service Award.

“And now, it’s the government’s strong view, that it is only appropriate that PD Kaos and all his fellow canines and the horses who help to keep the community safe should have a strong law on their side.

“This is another example of the Palaszczuk Government leading the nation on many legislative fronts.

“Queensland has some of the strongest

The Palaszczuk Government has announced it would introduce tough new laws to protect Police Dogs and Police Horses and impose harsher penalties on those who attack the community’s faithful servants. laws in the nation in relation to dangerous sex offenders, Organised Crime and Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs and hoons.

“And now we are moving to add another layer of support to the faithful servants, our police dogs and police horses, who help police do their critically important work,” the Minister said.

“I thank the Queensland Police Union for first raising these important laws with me and government.”

Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll said our four-legged heroes deserved to be protected with tough penalties.

“Our police dogs and police horses work tirelessly alongside our officers to protect the

community and they should be protected from anyone who tries to harm them,” Commissioner Carroll said.

“The bond between a Police Dog and their handler is particularly special and together the crime-fighting partnership is extremely valuable to the entire Service.

“Anyone who tries to hurt our police dogs or police horses should, as the Queensland Police Union have proposed, be held accountable and face serious consequences.

“We are grateful for the commitment of the Queensland Police Union and the Government in pursuing the new offence to further protect our invaluable four-legged members of the Service,” Commissioner Carroll said.

Queensland Police Union president Ian Leavers said it was now time to recognise the contributions working animals make to keeping Queensland safe.

“We Queenslanders have a special bond with our animals and no stronger bond exists than between police and the working dogs and working horses who serve alongside them.

“It’s only right we protect our companions who assist police to keep the community safe and I acknowledge the contributions of Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Guy Ford and Sergeant Kerrie Haines who have worked closely with the Queensland Police Union and me to make these laws happen.

“I acknowledge the work of Sergeant Shayne Treasure who has assisted us to develop the police dog meritorious service award as well.

“I also thank Police Minister Mark Ryan and Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk who have proven yet again they always listen to the Queensland Police Union and are willing to work with us to protect not only police however also our loyal, trustworthy and fearless four-legged friends who serve alongside us to keep Queensland safe.”

BUSINESS IN FOCUS

Focus on … Business

Life, death, funerals

By Jess Baker Have you ever wondered what it’s like to work at a funeral home? How and why a person would choose such a profession in the first place?

Have you ever wondered about local funeral trends? Or about how much funerals, burials and cremations actually cost?

This week, Warwick and Stanthorpe Today sat down with Carnarvon Funerals Services director Raymond Mattiazzi to have an open conversation about life, death, funerals, and everything in between.

For those who are curious, the conversation between journalist Jess Baker and Ray Mattiazzi went as follows: J: What led you to becoming a funeral director?

What were you doing before?

R: You name it, I was doing it all. My background was retail, (and) hospitality work. I was involved with the International Club for a bit playing soccer. Coincidentally the previous owner of (Carnarvon Funerals) was a member there. I was working there one Saturday afternoon; there was no soccer on. Lo and behold, Herman (the previous owner of Carnarvon) actually rolled up. He started talking and asking if I knew anybody that was looking for a bit of part-time work. Somebody to help (him) in the funeral business. I worked for him casually for four years and then in 2000 he decided that he wanted to retire and he said, ‘do you want to buy the business?’ Well, I knew what I was getting into. And here I am still, 21 years later.

J: Do you think that discussion about death

should be more open?

R: It’s very open now. It was just something that people didn’t talk about (20 years ago), whereas now we get pre-need enquiries here every day. People want to have everything ready.

Generally it’s the older generation – people retirement age onwards – but then sadly too I’ve had appointments with people with terminal illnesses and they can be in their 50s and 60s.

J: Would you say you’re very clinical about death now, because of your job?

R: I try to be as positive as I can be for these people. It’s hard enough them having to come in here and talk about this, let alone having me a blubbering mess; they really don’t need that. It’s difficult, especially when you know someone well, and the next thing you know you’re having this sort of discussion with them. It certainly tests you psychologically. You look at your own mortality too and think ‘bloody hell, this person here might be a couple of years older than me’.

And I’m not that old. Life’s short.

J: What’s the average cost of a funeral in Stanthorpe at the moment?

R: Well, things have gone up. Especially where burials are involved. Cemetery fees have gone up considerably again this year. So you’re looking at, with a burial here and most of the ‘trimmings’ I suppose, anywhere between $8000 and $9500.

J: Do you offer pre-payment plans?

R: We can set up a funeral benefit here. A lot of big companies push pre-need because once you sign up with them you’ve got a contract …

an agreement that they’re going to do the funeral. Whereas the way we do it here, we don’t have an inhouse funeral benefit fund. We’re an agent for Sureplan and you can take that out here with us, we’ll set it all up and we’ll keep a file here. The plan follows the client around wherever they go.

J: What percentage of people choose cremation over burial?

R: This year we have surpassed, for the first time in the last 20 years that I’ve kept a record, the number of cremations compared to burials. We’re probably getting up over 70 per cent now (who choose cremation).

J: Why do you think that is?

R: Costs. Another reason too is Covid. People couldn’t attend formal funeral services and they were just opting for direct cremations and then having memorial services at a later date. But it boils down to costs. Cremation’s always going to be a cheaper alternative. Once upon a time, when I first started here, we were probably doing 80 per cent burials, 20 per cent cremation.

J: How much cheaper is cremation than burial?

R: You want a lawn cemetery plot with an interment fee, you’re looking at $3500 for just that. Add that on top of other funeral costs. You could have a formal funeral service without a cemetery plot and cremation involved and that would be about $7000.

J: Is it true that after a certain amount of time a burial spot will free up for another body?

R: Not here. There are cemeteries where your perpetual right could be for 25 years and then

that ground is exhumed or reused again. But here, no.

J: What other myths can you bust?

R: There’s always the myths about ‘do they burn the coffin or do they take the bodies out?’ Well they do (burn the coffin) because the crematorium staff don’t want to be, with their workplace health and safety, subject to the handling of deceased persons. When we deliver a cremation, we have a vehicle and the coffin comes out the back, onto a trolley, over to the cremator unit, onto the lift, and up and in it goes once it’s turned on and operating.

People also say ‘well how do you know whose body is in there?’ A cremator unit will only take one coffin at a time. You would never get two in there, it doesn’t work that way. Because of the way our bodies are made up, if you had more than two persons in the cremator, it could actually catch on fire itself .

J: Are you seeing a trend toward more ecofriendly types of burials?

R: We do get asked about it. There are people who are interested more so in being buried in a natural burial ground, not a cemetery as such where you’ve got headstones and plaques.

They want nature; they want the trees; they want the birds; they want the grass growing.

Just natural Australian bush.

“While most rural dams are full thanks to recent rain events, drought recovery is ongoing as the agricultural sectoral rebuilds, and through this grant, small towns will have the opportunity to host inclusive events or activities that enhance their proud and traditional community spirit. Through this grant, Council will have the support of leading drought agen-

cies who will also attend the events and it is a great chance for our rural residents to interact with relevant support networks in an informal and relaxed, family-friendly environment.”

Community hall committees are invited to register their interest by emailing Council’s Community Development Officer at dani. kinnear@sdrc.qld.gov.au or called 0427 974 283 to discuss.

Warwick and Stanthorpe Today welcomes a new contributor to its pages this week, journalist and local identity GLYN REES. Glyn’s work, including a column with Allora news and stories, will be a regular feature.

A trough full of history

By Glyn Rees A little significant snippet of Allora history almost slipped by of late concerning a timber water trough over 15 metres in length that is a focal point in Allora’s serene Dalrymple Creek Park.

Thirty years have passed since the former stock water trough was relocated to the park in Allora’s northern approaches, but the memory hasn’t faded for retired truck driver and wellknown Allora character Don ‘Crawf’ Crawford.

An Allora resident for most of his life and a truck driver of 46 years, it was Don in association with local firm Denny’s Engineering that hauled the trough from 15km west of Allora and lowered it in place to become a noted attraction of ‘the Best Little Town on the Downs’.

Built in 1948, the 1200-gallon reminder of the local rural past itself boasts an abundance of history.

Built by Jack Busiko and Bill Blocksidge, the trough was cut from a dead bloodwood tree in the Pechey State Forest.

The length of the trough was reduced to around 15 metres to enable room for cattle to walk around it’s ends in Wally Stark’s cattle yard at Ellinthorp west of Allora.

Jack Busiko worked with the Stark family at Pechey until 1940 before moving with the family to Ellinthorp.

Mr Busiko returned to work in the forest at Pechey in 1944 and arrived back at Ellinthorp in October 1948 with the trough as a birthday present for Mr Stark.

When the trough was originally delivered to Ellinthorp in 1948 it arrived on an Army GMC 6x6 truck.

Don Crawford reminisces about the day he delivered Allora’s famed water trough three decades ago.

Picture: GLYN REES Trough builder Mr Busiko said it took two days to make the trough after marking the required width using a piece of string soaked in blue water coloured by dissolving a nob of laundry blue.

A cross cut saw was used to cut the line on each side - each cut being a foot apart, leaving

enough timber for the ends.

A maul and wedge were then used to split timber off, before chopping in about every five feet until a blood ring was struck. A mattock was then used to lift each section out and the trough sides trimmed.

Amazingly the whole of the Stark’s dairy

herd could be watered from the trough at one time, and carp were added in the trough to help control mosquitoes.

The Stark family sold the property in 1980, with the new owners Don and Margaret Duff donating the piece of timber history to the Allora Shire Council.

Then Allora Shire Chairman Cr Jim Deacon accepted the trough on behalf of the Council, paying tribute to Mr Busiko when the trough was installed in the park on March 5th 1991.

Thos attending included members of the Stark and Duff families, elder Allora residents and members of the Allora District Garden Club.

Garden Club Treasurer Mrs Cherry Smith congratulated and thanked Denny’s Engineering and crane driver Don Crawford for playing such a significant role in bringing the historical project to fruition.

The whole venture is still fresh in the mind of Don, and mind it wasn’t all plain sailing navigating the R600 Mack truck from Ellinthorp to Allora with the giant trough.

“We couldn’t go more than 20km-an-hour given the load and the fact the 15 metre log was being hauled on a 7.5 metre trailer.”

“We pulled up in the main street (of Allora) momentarily and our front wheels were lifting off the ground. Don and Margaret stood on the bumper bar to stop the truck raring” laughed Allora’s own ‘King of the Road’.

The trough was unloaded in the park on concrete pads constructed by the Council with Don using a stiff leg crane that is still in Allora in the possession of former owner of Denny’s Engineering, Mr Bob Denny.

We were in the under 7s and under 8s. I scored my first try twice because I got to do two tries.

One of my friends in my team was about to get tackled so he passed the ball to me and I got to run up and put the ball down in the try area. I almost got tackled too but I just got there in time.

That was good because I just got better from my broken arm.

The second try I got was because the other team was defending the try line but I did a fake pass on the left and went on the right so that I got to score.

Check out the 38m tele-belt pouring gravel over the lining of the new landfill at the Warwick Waste Facility. The site is expected to be operational by October, weather permitting.

Event funding secured for small town community halls: Register your interest now Our small town community halls draw and connect rural residents together in good times and bad, and Council has secured funding of $7,500 to support five events and activities across our region that foster connectedness and social well-being in drought-affected communities.

Southern Downs Councillor Sheryl Windle said Council was looking forward to working in partnership with interested community hall committees to bring their event ideas to life.

“The regions’ small towns always relish the opportunity to engage and the local community halls are the hubs that provide the social space and meeting point to connect as a community,” Councillor Windle said.

“Through this grant, Council will have the support of leading drought agencies who will also attend the events and it is a great chance for our rural residents to interact with relevant support networks in an informal and relaxed, family-friendly environment.”

Community hall committees are invited to register their interest by emailing Council’s Community Development Officer at dani.kinnear@sdrc.qld.gov.au.

This project is funded by the Queensland Government through the Community Drought Support Program 2020-21.

Time to tidy up around your water meter With water meter readings beginning across the region from Monday 23 August 2021, it’s time for residents to ensure that water meters are easily and safely accessible.

A Council spokesperson said a quick check around the water meter to ensure it is free from garden vegetation and other obstacles would ensure minimal disruption to gardens and assist with an accurate reading.

“As ratepayers are responsible for water infrastructure located on their property’s side of the water meter, it’s helpful if they ensure meters are free from debris, grass, garden mulch, soil and other obstacles,” the spokesperson said.

“Council staff will always make sure the water meter and surrounding area is returned to the way it was upon arrival.”

Water Notices are scheduled to be issued in October 2021 with the due date being 30 days after the date of issue.

Anyone who is having difficulties paying their notice is encouraged to contact Council prior to the due date to organise a confidential payment agreement.

The 2021 Warwick Carols in the Park will be here before you know it and Council is inviting local businesses to get in early and participate in the fantastic sponsorship opportunities that are available.

This free community event is highly anticipated by the Southern Downs community and attracts more than 3,000 locals and visitors each year who gather to enjoy festivities, carols and family friendly activities in a relaxed and jolly atmosphere.

Southern Downs Councillor Cynthia McDonald said she expects the event to be well attended and that it will pull together the community at the end of another challenging year.

“2021 has been another wild ride across the Southern Downs and although we have had the incredible blessing of drought breaking rains, the ongoing impacts of the pandemic continues to keep families and friends apart,” Councillor McDonald said.

“Most of us will probably find ourselves closer to home again this Christmas and attending Warwick Carols in the Park together will be like a warm hug from the community.”

A number of sponsorship opportunities are available, each with exclusive sponsor entitlements that will give a local business unique access to this broad audience.

Securing sponsorship to this much anticipated event ensures that family friendly activities remain free and that Warwick Carols in the Park offers its own distinct local flavour.

The 2021 Warwick Carols in the Park will take place in Queens Park on Sunday 12 December.

TUESDAY

BACK TO NATURE ABC TV, 8pm

Now is the perfect time to get back to nature. This heartfelt series, fronted by Aaron Pedersen (Jack Irish) and writer Holly Ringwald (pictured), is guided by our First Nations people’s principle that the earth is a living breathing spirit to which we are all intimately connected.

It’s refreshing, eye-opening and certainly a salve for our current worries. Tonight, Aaron and Holly are in South Australia. In the Mount Lofty Ranges, they meet elder Uncle Mickey O’Brien.

SATURDAY

ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL 7MATE, 7.30pm

FRIDAY This manga adaptation was first announced in 2003 as a project for filmmaker James Cameron, but it took almost two decades for performance capture technologies to catch up to the Titanic director’s dream of a fully computergenerated lead character. Director Robert Rodriguez and actress Rosa Salazar (Bird Box, above) eventually gave life to the titular cyborg through motion-capture. Scientist Dr Dyson Ido (Christoph Waltz) discovers the cyborg lying in a scrapyard and revives her, naming her Alita after his late daughter. Despite Ido’s concerns about her safety, Alita takes to the streets of her post-apocalyptic home, determined to use her prodigious fighting skills to take on corrupt authorities.

THE LIVING ROOM TEN, 7.30pm

As four very unlikely fairy godmothers, straight-talking host Amanda Keller, DIY master Barry Du Bois, energetic chef Miguel Maestre (pictured) and handsome vet Dr Chris Brown have taken to transforming both homes and hearts with their weekly makeovers. Tonight, they’re turning their magic touch to a jaded working woman in need of some inspiration.

In a stunning Cinderella-like metamorphosis, the team will revitalise her wardrobe, restyle her hair and turn her apartment into a palace fit for a princess. Barry’s weekly DIY project takes a wave of his magic wand (read: grout applicator) and some bathroom tiles, to turn a very ordinary coffee table into a trendy piece of decor.

So much – or is it so little? – happens on The Block during each week of renovations that you could be forgiven for being distracted by the contestants’ apparent love of frequenting plumbing suppliers, the growing bags under their eyes or the smart soundtrack picked to enliven the tediousness of painting walls. That’s the beauty of the Sunday reveal: you get the shenanigans in a nutshell, and finally a clear gander at what the contestants were (or weren’t) working towards for the past week. Tonight, the teams’ bathrooms are unveiled to judges Neale Whitaker (left), Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer. Find out who sinks and who swims.

Neale Whitaker is a judge on The Block

Enjoying a cuppa and chat

By Jess Baker Southern Downs locals had an opportunity to share a coffee with a cop on Sunday 15 August, as Warwick Police launched Road Safety Week at Australiana Park.

The campaign, which runs from 16 to 20 August across Queensland, urges people to consider how they can improve their driving habits to protect themselves and others on the road.

Officer in Charge of the Warwick Road Policing Unit Dominic Cremasco said unsafe driving was an issue right across the nation. “(Driving) is something that we do every day of our life and people take it for granted that everything’s just going to be OK,” Snr Constable Cremasco said.

“Whereas it’s probably one of the most important things we’re doing.

“Not just with our own safety and wellbeing, but we’ve got our family and somebody else’s family on the road we should be taking care of and considering.”

He encouraged those who witnessed unsafe driving, including hooning, to report the behaviour to Warwick Police, Policelink, or Crime Stoppers.

“Especially (people) with video footage, dashcam footage, (or) CCTV footage from home,” he said.

“Even if it’s something anonymous that they want to give, we encourage people to come forward and give us that bit of information.”

Snr Constable Cremasco said if he could remind road users of one key message this week, it would be that road safety is everybody’s responsibility.

Warwick Police Officer in Charge Jamie Deacon said he hoped the state-wide campaign would raise awareness of road risks and the importance of road safety.

“Drive responsibly. Drive with the conditions. Don’t become fatigued and be aware of your surroundings,” Snr Sergeant Deacon said.

On Sunday morning, aspiring police officers and other members of the public met with Warwick Police, emergency workers, and community groups for a coffee, a yarn, and to learn more about how to act safely around roads.

Rare sheep thriving here

By Judy Barnet, Farm Columnist Gary and Georgina Brennand have recently purchased an 130-acre farm at Elbow Valley, but they are no strangers to the Southern Downs.

I first met the Brennands through Doug and Sandra Walker from whom I brought my property at Glenlyon – “Tilba Tilba”.

From that day on Gary and Georgie have lent a helping hand whenever needed on the farm.

To be brutally honest, I am not sure I would have stayed on the farm without their help in the early days.

As far as hard working, jill of all trades women go, they don’t come any better than Georgie! She can milk a cow, cook for 20 hungry station staff, ride a two-wheeler or a horse to muster sheep, there is not a lot she can’t turn her hand to.

Gary and Georgie were leasing a farm not too far from me but when the drought struck this was not viable and they accepted jobs with Stanbroke Pastoral’s property Fort Constantine at Cloncurry.

It was a great place to work and they thoroughly enjoyed their time there however I for

Gary and Georgina Brennand (inset) have rare Dorset Down sheep on their farm. one was absolutely delighted when they informed me they were settling in Warwick.

Both Gary and Georgie come from farming backgrounds. Although Gary is a qualified electrician, he much prefers farming.

They have worked in Queensland and New South Wales on both sheep and cattle farms,

including a stint managing a Merino Stud in Orange.

Gary has a wool classers ticket. Their two offspring, Angus, 23, and Charlie, 21, were boarders at Scots College in Warwick and this played a part in Gary and Georgie’s decision to move to the area.

Both sons are currently at university but Charlie has worked for Frasers Livestock Transport before university and still helps out in holidays.

Both took gap years and worked as Jackeroos in remote areas.

Dorset Downs were the chosen breed for the farm as they ticked so many boxes.

The breed is a very old British breed – known as the King of prime lambs in their homeland and highly sought after as prime lamb sires in both Britain and New Zealand, however the Rare Breeds Trust of Australia has classified the breed as critically endangered with only four studs remaining in Australia.

Dorset Down ewes can rear a single lamb to an 18-kilogram carcasse weight in 10 to 12 weeks and twins to the same weight at 12 to 14 weeks.

The Downs type wool is very good quality – fleeces weighing around 2.4 kilograms and 26 micron – it is often used in the hosiery trade.

The stud aims to supply local produces with rams for terminal sires as well as prime lamb and specialised wool.

Along with the sheep the Brennands have 13 head of cattle, predominately traditional type Shorthorns.

BACONFEST IS BACK!

Big lineup of events

By Jess Baker The Darling Downs Hotel, more commonly known as the Sandy Creek Pub, has an exciting lineup of events planned for the coming months.

This Saturday 21 August, local act The 78 Sound will provide an evening of entertainment at the pub.

Along with live music, guests can enjoy a pig on the spit and all the usual food, drink, and old-fashioned country fun the Sandy Creek Pub is known and loved for.

Owner operator Kevin Kiley said a courtesy bus will be running throughout the evening, and the band will start playing at 7.30pm.

The exciting show is not the only major event on the horizon for Sandy Creek Pub patrons.

Next month, from midday on Saturday 11 September, the pub will host a Bullock Team Pull charity event where participants will have the opportunity to win up to $1000 in cash.

In teams of four, participants will make their way through an obstacle course, pulling behind them kegs on sleds.

Kevin encouraged local businesses, sporting groups, and community groups interested in fundraising to register their team and “have a pull” for a chance to win.

Men and women will compete in different categories, with the winners in each category taking home a $1000 cash prize.

Teams that finish in second place will win $500 cash and best dressed will win $250.

All proceeds, including a $5 entry fee for spectators and a $100 registration fee for each team, will go to Cystic Fibrosis Queensland.

“We’ll have live music throughout the day and we’ll finish off with a live band,” Kevin said.

Sandy Creek Pub owner Kevin Kiley.

“We’ll also have some auctions later in the day.”

The event will start at noon. Teams interested in participating are invited to register by calling Sandy Creek Pub on 4661 3413 or emailing sandycreekpub@outlook.com.

Despite the ‘ups and downs’ the Covid-19 pandemic has dealt the pub – like it has so many venues – in recent weeks and months, it continues to deliver.

“We still have the parmy nights … on Thursday nights, (and) we have the full menu Friday night, Saturday lunch, Saturday night and Sunday lunch,” Kevin said.

“We have the best pizzas in Allan on Sunday night.

“All (ingredients are) locally sourced.”

It offers a place to rest and unwind, enjoy a meal, a drink, a game of pool, and some country hospitality.

The pub will also host a game of Jag the Joker this Friday 20 August, as it does every Friday, with thousands of dollars up for grabs.

For more information about Sandy Creek Pub, and its upcoming events, visit Darling Downs Hotel on Facebook or stop by the historic hotel at 345 Sandy Creek Rd, Allan today.

Your local

By Jess Baker As several states across the nation tighten lockdown restrictions, it is more important than ever to support local.

That is the message second-generation pub licensee Naomi Day wants people to hear.

Naomi and her husband Stephen have been running the Ballandean Tavern for three years in December, during which time they have encountered drought, bushfires, and Covid-19.

Ordinarily, at this time of the year, the pub would be full of visitors from Brisbane and interstate. But unfortunately, right now, that isn’t the case.

“We’ve got no tourists and it’s usually tourist season,” Naomi said. “It’s usually our busiest time but it’s really quiet.”

Naomi said many of Ballandean Tavern’s regular local customers had continued to frequent the pub, stopping by for a meal and a drink after a busy day of work or tinkering at home.

“We really need more of that.”

Stop by the Ballandean Tavern at 1 St Judes Lane on the corner of Eukey Road in Ballandean and enjoy lunch, dinner, or a cold brew.

Come and visit the friendly staff at Ballandean Tavern, including operator Naomi Day.

Warwick Bridge Club

By Neil Bonnell, Warwick Bridge Club On Friday week, 27 August, the annual Novice Championship will be held. The winners will have their names inscribed on the Lorna Broughton Cup. Lorna, who was one of our early members, was well-known for her immaculate appearance. When in public, hat, gloves and stockings were necessary accessories for her.

For bridge, a hat was unnecessary and gloves were a nuisance.

As in her dress, her manners were impeccable. Her donation of this cup was the result of her wish to give less experienced players an incentive to improve.

Previous winners Barbara Reid and Joyce McKeen have given notice with a win E/W last Friday that they will be contenders again this year.

Game recap On Board 20 (pictured) Barbara and Joyce bid wisely (choosing 4NTnot 4S) and played well.

Because of the unlikely layout of the hearts, with the Jack and ten huddled together in a doubleton, thirteen tricks can be made with an Ace left over.

Yet, two declarers made only eleven and one ten. Barbara, sitting East, received the helpful lead on the four of diamonds, but even the King should have made no difference.

After winning with the Jack of diamonds,

to be safe declarer can play low to the ten of spades. Then declarer can return to hand and run the rest of the spades, discarding diamond and club losers.

Those who discarded hearts came to regret it. Under the spade onslaught, North will have to find four discards and South three.

Their hands will be in tatters once declarer starts on the hearts. Because the Jack and ten fell in two rounds, the rest of dummy’s hearts were high and Barbara had two Aces which were surplus to requirements, but didn’t accrue any extra points.

All aboard the train to the pub

By Jess Baker

Southern Downs Steam Railway (SDSR) volunteers are gearing up for their next sunset ride from Warwick to Clifton, and are calling all interested in experiencing a unique heritage train trip to join them.

Volunteer Chris Freeman said SDSR was eager to welcome visitors on Saturday 28 August for a leisurely tour to Clifton, where they can enjoy dinner and drinks at O’Shanley’s Irish Hotel.

“Running a heritage railway is not just about blokes in greasy overalls fixing stuff, although to be honest there is a fair amount of that,” Chris said.

“Besides maintaining the heavy metal, there are volunteers organising the sale of tickets and designing merchandise, handling the paperwork that allows us to run on the mainline tracks.

“We have a museum collection to look after and grounds to be cared for, so there is always a wide variety of tasks to attend to.

“The pleasure is in saving a piece of our local history and then sharing that with the people of the local community and with our visitors from far and wide.”

Visitors are invited to watch the sun set through the window of the heritage train, feel the rhythmic movement of the journey, and experience the charm of Clifton and the countryside by night.

“If you want to dress up and bring along your guitar then that will only add to the fun,” Chris said.

For more information about the night train, including price details and bookings, visit www.downsexplorer.org.au.

SDSR volunteers are excited to offer another of their popular ‘trains to the pub’.

Q&A

with Warwick Police Officer in Charge Jamie Deacon

This week, Warwick Police Officer in Charge JAMIE DEACON volunteers his time to share what led him to a career in criminal justice, and how he spends his time outside of work hours.

Learn a thing or two about our top cop...

What is your favourite thing about living on the Southern Downs?

In my time within the Qld Police I have worked in a variety of towns and cities. I love the smaller country town feel of Warwick.

Like most smaller centres there is a sense of community than just can’t be found in bigger centres.

What is something people may not know about you?

I am not sure really, I am a fairly open book for those that know me. I am from Allora originally – and is a big reason why I am back in this part of the world now. I really enjoyed growing up in Allora and the Southern Downs.

What inspired you to pursue a career in criminal justice?

I always wanted to have an occupation that was an outdoors type of job and always had an interest in the law. I did not want to be stuck in an office when I was younger and policing offered a perfect fit of both. As I have got older, I am now comfortable being largely stuck in the office – and leave the younger police to be out and about.

How do you relax after a long day at work?

I like to watch movies, exercise, playing golf (when I can) and having a social beer.

What has been your most memorable moment and why?

I was heavily involved in the Toowoomba and Lockyer Valley Flood Events of 2011. Whilst that event had so many tragic consequences, adversity brings out the best in people and I had the opportunity to work with some amazing people who taught me so much in very difficult circumstances.

Which six guests would you invite to your dream dinner party?

OUR REGION’S BEST

THREE …

Ways To Drive Safely It’s Road Safety Week from 16-20 August, so here’s three ways to stay safe on our roads.

Would have to be humorous, so Steve Carrell definitely and maybe sports icons like Tiger Woods and Roger Federer. Other than these, I prefer the company of people I know and trust so a few close friends.

What is your favourite book and movie?

The Bourne books and movies would be one of my favourites of both.

Where is the most interesting place you have visited?

I am not a worldly traveller, preferring to stay closer to home. I do like Melbourne and Far North Qld – Cairns area and islands.

I like cruising – when we could. Hopefully, one day, when Covid eventually calms down cruising and overseas travel will be back on the agenda.

What is your favourite meal to cook?

Anything seafood – seafood marinara or risotto would be high on my list. I am not a great cook though, so usually eat that out. I do love a plain steak and veg and can cook that.

What were you like in school?

I lived for sport at school. I did quite well academically however sport was my favourite thing about school.

1

Always wear a seatbelt You have a vastly greater chance of surviving a collision if you wear a seatbelt, which reduce the risk of death by as much as 60 per cent. Every passenger in the car should buckle up for every trip. Children should be in ageappropriate child restraints.

2

Watch your speed Excessive or inappropriate speed contributes to 1 in 3 road traffic deaths. The greater your speed, the higher the risk of a crash - and the more likely it is that this crash will cost someone their life.

With an impact speed of 80 km/h, the likelihood of death in a crash is 20 times what it would be at an impact speed of 30 km/h. So slow down; know the traffic rules, and always keep to the speed limits!

3

Don’t drive tired As the campaign saying goes, “arrive alive, don’t drive tired”. It’s recommended that drivers take a break every two hours. which can be as easy as stopping for a drink or snack at the servo on the way to your destination. If you’re driving a long distance with other people in the car, try sharing the drive so that everyone gets a break.

Rural Links This week on the farm

By Judy Barnet, Farm Columnist Another busy week on the farm.

The long awaited lambs have not arrived but Snowflake the goat had twins – one of which was killed by a fox or quoll.

She kidded up in the steepest part of our hill country and when we found her she was still with the deceased twin which looked to have been dead for around a day.

We always leave dead kids or lambs with their mums for a full day, it gives them time to grieve and accept the death.

Speaking of goats, we have a few ready for the market but they have been giving us a run around for a few weeks now.

Perhaps they heard me on the phone to Agent Ross from McDougalls when we had them yarded a few weeks ago.

I advised Ross I had a few I would be bringing in subject to getting them up the loading ramp. When they jumped over every fence in our rather Dad and Dave Sheepyards 3 times we decided on Plan B – parking the trailer in the yards and putting feed in to entice them to load themselves.

That was successful in that every goat went in the trailer except the ones we wanted.

The next day I put Plan C into action – I was able to entice all of the goats into the yard and straight into the race with some feed.

Of the three goats I really wanted to take, two jumped straight out but the third, a goat from last year’s kidding, I was able to get into the crush.

Unfortunately Richie was at work and I knew I would not be strong enough to move the goat from the crush into the trailer and shut the doors so I put a halter and lead on the goat and left her in the crush (which had a centre bar to stop her jumping out) until Richie arrived home.

As we drove down the track to the yards half way down, there were the three goats, including the one with the halter – making their way back to the paddock!

I have a Plan D but that involves taking down the cattleyards and moving them to set up a trap around the sheep yards and loading ramp so that may take a few more weeks.

On the farm we have also previously hosted WWOOFers – World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farmers – however with the current COVID pandemic there are very few people doing this.

However on Friday I received a phone call from a couple that were looking for accommodation for a couple of weeks before they moved to Tasmania.

Monica, Yves, Abel and Indigo arrived late on Monday and what a joy they have been to host.

Dora dog on the dam.

New best friends.

Guests from Cooby Cobba Adventures fishing on the farm.

Escapee goats.

Rogue goats.

Both Yves and Monica are Chefs and Yves is also a professional Sand Sculpturer.

We have been eating like kings this week and I am definitely going to learn a few recipes whilst they are here.

The boys, Abel and Indigo are thoroughly enjoying the farm and Abel loves his new best friend – Zorro the dog! They are also going to help out with Plan D in catching the goats!

Staying in the cottage this week we have had guests from Cooby Cobba Adventures who thoroughly enjoyed themselves and caught a few fish on the dam.

Renovating the cottage and starting the Airbnb was one of the best decisions I have made in my life.

We hosted our first guests nearly a year ago – at the start of September.

Our first guest was a house designer and her daughter and they were wonderful – giving me a lot of tips that have helped make the cottage what it is today.

The money I earn from hosting has allowed me to maintain and update the cottage

but more than the money is the friends I have made, the skills and crafts the guests have taught me and the pleasure of seeing happy children collecting eggs and picking their own vegetables for dinner.

The Australorp Bantam, Araucana and Modern Game Bantam hens are all in full swing laying now and I am hoping to hatch out some replacement pullets this spring.

This will be done using both an incubator and any hens that might go broody.

I also have a pen of mixed breeds – Indian Game, Transylvanian Naked Necks, Frizzles and Silkies that I use to show the cottage guests – and the Transylvanian Naked Neck has gone clucky already which is quite early in the season.

One of the projects I am working on at the moment is an old mobile workman’s wagon that used to be towed by a grader when roads were being maintained in remote areas.

I am planning on turning this into an Airbnb accommodation down by the waters edge.

I watched the Grandest of Grand Designs

on TV last week and came up with some Grand Designs of my own for the wagon – I am just missing the Grand Budget to go with them.

Egg Collecting Guide When collecting eggs for hatching only pick clean eggs with a uniform egg shape (point at the bottom and wider at the top where the air sac is).

Inspect eggs carefully for hairline cracks Do not wash eggs – they are porous and can let bacteria in so stick with eggs that are clean Clean nesting material and daily collection of eggs should ensure a good fresh clean supply of hatchable eggs Store eggs point down in an egg carton, in a cool dry place.

Write the date and breed in pencil on the top of the egg.

Set eggs in an incubator or under a clucky hen that are less than 2 weeks old Bantams can hatch 6 – 8 eggs and Large Hens 10 – 12.

Happy hatching and have a great week everyone.

GNF looking to 10th sale

By Jess Baker George and Fuhrmann is now just two weeks away from its 10th annual bullock and steer show and sale on Thursday 2 September, and stock agent Matthew Grayson is expecting big things.

“It’s sort of the showpiece of sale for the year,” Matthew said.

“The market’s always generally stronger than what people would be hearing on a weekday.”

Matthew said the event seemed to grow in size each year and, despite some curveballs thrown by the Covid-19 pandemic, George and Fuhrmann were expecting approximately 400 cattle on the day.

“The amount of people that will be there will depend on the restrictions that come out of New South Wales,” he said.

“We get a spread (of buyers). All the feedlots, they vary from Goondiwindi down to northern New South Wales, back to Wandarrah.

“Commission buyers always come along. If some people can’t get there someone else will be there doing the job for them.”

There are more than $10,000 in cash prizes to be won on the day.

Entries must be nominated by Monday 30 August and cattle at the Warwick Saleyards by 7pm Wednesday 1 September, in time for weighing to commence at 6am Thursday 2 September for class allotment.

There are seven classes that will be judged on the day. Cash prizes will also be awarded to the Champion Pen of Steers, Reserve Champion Pen of Steers, and Champion Pen of Feeder Steers.

Judging will commence at 8am, presentations will commence at 9.45am and the sale at 10am.

For full details about the show and sale, contact George and Fuhrmann on (07) 4661 4644.

The 10th annual Warwick bullock and steer show and sale will be one not to miss.

Focus On WARWICK COWBOYS Big wins for Cowboys

By Candyce Grew In a nail-biting finish, the Warwick Cowboys A Grade side were defeated by the Goondiwindi Boars on Saturday night, where a series of penalties saw the Boars kick the winning goal after the siren.

A Grade coach Matt Grew said it was disappointing to lose the game in the remaining seconds.

“We gave away a penalty in the last 30 seconds and Gundy kicked a goal to draw the score at 18-all,” Grew said.

“Warwick gave away a penalty off the kick-off and after the siren, Gundy kicked a 50-metre penalty goal to win the game 2018.

“I couldn’t be happier with the effort of the boys, and it was a massive turn around from when we last played Gundy, who are the top of the table.

“Tom Bell was exceptional, taking out the Player’s Player award and Best Forward.

“On only his second game back for the Cowboys Dan Watson was tremendous.”

The Warwick Cowboys Reserve Grade secured a 30-24 victory against the Boars on Saturday night.

Coach Aaron McVeigh said both sides had a high completion rate in the first half.

“Gundy were able to catch our defence off guard, crossing for a try right on the half time buzzer to head into halftime with a 2412 lead,” McVeigh said.

“Dustin Close crossed in our first attacking raid after half-time, capped off by a sideline conversion from Jeb Jerome in front of a jam-packed bar to get us back within six.

“Defence was the main focus for the next 15-minute period with Gundy asking us plenty of questions but we were able to hold on and take full advantage with Brodie Quirk continuing on his try scoring ways, bagging a second half double, securing us a 30-24 victory.”

Under 18s coach Scott Fisher said his team came back strong after a two-week break due to the Covid-19 lockdown, followed by a bye.

His team defeated the Boars 44-8 at Father Ranger Oval.

“Jonah Duncan had a very strong game at fullback, getting the Best Back award and the consistent Angus Ridley took out the Best Forward award.”

Cowboys Women’s co-coach Terri Gilbert said after four weeks off, the ladies were excited to play at Father Ranger Oval on Saturday afternoon against Brothers.

“They got off to a great start with a wonderful try by Jayla Sefo after some very good team ball movement,” Gilbert said.

“Although at times the heat was a factor and lack of match fitness could be seen, the girls came away with a 42-4-point win

Warwick Cowboys Women’s player Tiff Cullen scores a try.

against a determined Brothers team that never gave up.

“Best Forward was awarded to Kate Schneider and best back to Tiff Cullen.

“With Covid-19 restrictions our last round game of the season against Gatton will not go ahead this week so we are training hard in readiness for major final in three weeks’ time.”

This Saturday night the Warwick Cowboys will face the Wattles Warriors in a bid to win the Basil Nolan Jr Memorial Shield at Father Ranger Oval.

Under 18s will kick off at 3.30pm, Reserve Grade will play at 5pm and A Grade will start at 6.30pm.

Garden Time

GARDENING

Beatrice Hawkins

Beautiful native plants I’ve been busy spreading assorted seeds over my garden and watering them in a hope that some will germinate.

I am here to tell you though, that there is one thing that will not grow if you add water... in fact it will actually die!

I was very busy dealing with all sorts of things the other day and put my phone in the shade under a gardenia in a pot on my front patio.

Eventually got back to the garden and watered it all, including the gardenia, and then, muuuch later, went looking for my phone... last resort I looked on the front patio.

Well, phones do not grow or multiply when watered. They die! All is well though - I have found an old one that works and most of my things were transferred with the sim card.

As you will know I love native plants and at the moment there are a number of geraldton wax bushes in full glorious flower around town. At least two of my neighbours have them and I am surprised as I thought this area would be too cold and the soil too heavy, to accommodate them.

My wonderful mother-in-law had a Geraldton wax in her garden on a property at Narromine and my daughter has one at Boddington in WA. Both areas have very sandy soil similar to the natural growing areas of the shrub.

They are obviously fairly adaptable though to be doing so well in our area.

The botanical name is chamelaucium un-

cinatum with the last part meaning “hooked” in Latin and referring to the end of the leaves.

As the name would suggest they are native to the Geraldton area of WA, but similar wax flower plants can be found over much of WA and named for each area where they appear even Esperance wax flower, so they grow over a very wide area.

As I researched them on the internet I found a company in WA that has been investigating their use as a native food. I had no idea they were edible and was pleased to learn something new to pass on to all those that read my ramblings.

The most popular variety is “Raspberry Ripple”. This has no reflection on the taste but is named for its lovely raspberry coloured flowers.

Apparently it has a strong citrus taste and can be used in many ways. The simplest seems to be as you would rosemary - simply pluck the leaves and use them for flavour.

This is something I will definitely try soon.

Sounds like it would complement fish and chicken really well. Adrian Parsons, the man behind these innovations, has sent me some recipes, so will definitely try them out.

At this time it is primarily used in high end restaurants in Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne but ultimately the aim is to have the product on supermarket shelves alongside all our regular herbs and spices.

It can be used to infuse oil, dried and used as a tea and also as a freeze dried powder. Bulk quantities of leaf have been supplied to gin producers to use as a flavouring in their product. It has been used as an infused oil used in the finals of the MasterChef programme.

I like to hear of our native plants being used in innovative ways and applaud anyone who is endeavouring to promote native foods. Finger limes, lemon myrtle, quandongs and davidson

plums have become relatively well known and I have frequently used products from the Outback Spirit range available in the supermarket and love the flavours.

The shrub grows to about 2.5 metres high and wide in full sun and preferably sandy, well drained, soil but can handle heavier soil so long as it is well drained. They flower from June to November in shades from white through to pink and, as with Raspberry Ripple, they have been bred to produce beautiful deep pink to red and even purple blooms.

As they are doing well in Warwick, they obviously can tolerate some frost. A light prune of spent flowers will keep them looking good but they don’t like being cut back hard.

They have few pests or diseases so long as they have plenty of sun and good drainage. If they don’t have good drainage they can develop root rot and will be short lived. Lack of sun and they can develop scale.

They go well with other natives such as grevilleas, banksias, correas and westringia.

They have a lovely perfume and are very attractive to native birds, bees and butterflies.

At present grevilleas are flowering well in town and also supplying colour and nectar for our birds.

There are dwarf varieties that have been bred to do well in pots and these are very popular as decorator plants in Japan and other Asian countries.

As a result of my reading I think I will definitely have to find a spot in my garden for one.

SPORT WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

The Spin Best and worst of sport We have seen the best and worst of sports news this past week. The Melbourne Storm continue to do what they do best and have people asking the question is this the best side they have ever fielded. The Broncos supporters had their hearts broken by what many (probably with one eye) thought was an unfair penalty as they were about to begin the celebrations.

The Wallabies imploded and made us wonder if there would ever be another Bledisloe Cup win for the good guys on this side of the ditch and we can’t even bare to consider World Cup. Cricket Australia moved quickly to appoint a couple of extras to the coaching squad after the review of Langer’s coaching style. We’ll soon need an entire plane to fly the support staff from match to match.

The Poms due here in a matter of a couple of months have their own cricket issues after a crushing defeat by India. Ah the trials and tribulations.

Then there were some incidents in the NRL that left many of us shaking our heads.

The tackle on Jerome Hughes. I like many others deserved more that a three week suspension. But there you go.

The news that Cronulla’s Andrew Fifita is in a Brisbane hospital in an induced coma after suffering what looked to be an accidental knock to the throat at the weekend is simply awful.

Fifita is one of those divisive players, you love or love to hate. Which ever side of the fence you sit on we hope he has a full recovery.

Then, as we processed that, came news of the violent attack on one of the Wallabies best Toutai Kefu and his family in a home invasion.

One of the toughest on the rugby field but apparently one of the nicest blokes off the field sports, fans across the spectrum are praying for Kefu and his family as they undergo multiple surgeries.

It certainly puts into perspective the importance of that win or loss of your particular team at the weekend.

- Casey

REDBACKS INTO PRELIM On the back of an exciting win this past week the Warwick Redbacks have booked themselves a place in this weekend’s Darling Downs AFL Allied Cup Preliminary Final.

The Warwick Redbacks headed to Goondiwindi at the weekend to play the Goondiwindi Hawks in the first round of the finals of the 2021 Allied Cup. The Redbacks had not beaten Goondiwindi at home since 2014 and were considered underdogs going into the sudden death elimination final.

Warwick’s Josh Read kicked the opening goal of the match and despite a goal late in the quarter from Citrigno, the Redbacks went to the first break trailing 14-13 in what looked to be developing into a close game.

The Hawks came out firing in the second quarter kicking four unanswered goals to take a 39-14 lead before Jayden Grogan kicked the Redback’s next. Croft hit back with another for the Hawks. The Redbacks fought back strongly at the back end of the quarter. Lloyd and Lowney both kicked goals to narrow the margin at the main break to 45-32 ( 7-3.45 to 5.2- 32) in the Hawks favour.

The third quarter was a real show of finals football.

Although still behind on the scoreboard, by the end of the quarter Redbacks had fought their way back into the game and trailed by less than a goal. The three-quarter time score 8.5 (53) to 7.7 (49) The Redbacks had not had their noses in front since the opening minutes of the game but in an exciting final quarter restricted the 40 TODAY Thursday, 19 August, 2021

Shaping to kick during the game against Goondi. The Redbacks posted their first away game in Goondiwindi since 2014.

Redbacks climb high in a contest for the ball during the sudden death semi final against Goondiwindi.

Hawks to just one behind while Josh Read kicked two very important majors.

When the final siren sounded it was Redbacks 9-10-64 – Hawks 8-6-54 and the Redbacks had secured their place in this week’s major semi-final.

Among the best on field for the Redbacks were Citrigno, Read, Lowney, Bardsley, Grogan and Donahoe.

Warwick Goal Kickers:- J Read (3), B. Ribes, C. Citrigno, J. Grogan, C. Lloyd, J. Peasnell and S. Lowney It is an exciting time for the Redback’s club and the players who now hold the key to their own destiny.

A win in this weekend’s preliminary final against University at USQ Oval will put the Redbacks into the 2021 Grand Final.

The Darling Downs AFL senior league presentation night will be held on Saturday night in Toowoomba. During the evening the best Darling Downs team of 50 years will be named.

Warwick have three players in the initial squad.

The Redbacks club presentation evening and Steve Gray medal night will be held at the Redbacks Clubhouse on 4 September.

In the meantime, Redbacks supporters and the Warwick community should get right behind the team this weekend.

VISITING GOLFERS DESCEND ON WARWICK More than 100 visiting golfers descended on Warwick this week for the Downs and Southwestern District Ladies Championship. Golfers from Toowoomba and as far afield as Roma and St George are expected to play the Championship event.

Warwick champion, Samantha Hinze will be out to defend the district title she won in Charleville last year and is hopeful of achieving her ninth such award.

Sam goes into the event as the favourite but will have plenty of stiff opposition from several Toowoomba players with low handicaps. The Foursome Championship was played on Tuesday while the 36 hole Stroke Championship is played over Wednesday and Thursday. Naturally, the course is closed to social play over the duration of the event.

CONDITIONS IDEAL Members of the Stanthorpe Bowls Club have taken full advantage of the ideal conditions for lawn bowls over the past week.

Games of three bowl triples and three bowl pairs were played in the midweek social comepitition. The combination of Luisa Girgenti, Helen Jones, and Brian Brown proved too strong for Val White, Mark Wicks, and Ernie Jones taking a 15-10 win. In a much closer contest the team of Robyn Smith, John Coleman, and Bruno Stefanon had a narrow 18-17 win over R Smith, Dot Rankin, and Peter Smith.

In the pairs game Len Girgenti and Jack Bell scored a 17-12 win over Ray Rankin and Michael Sorrenson 17-12. Michael Sorrenson is the Bowls Australia, Regional Bowls Manager for Southeast Queensland.

He took the opportunity to have a roll up during his annual visit to the club and like all visiting bowlers was made very welcome.

The men’s fours Pennant Teams took full advantage of the conditions to hold a practice session on Saturday in preparation for the upcoming Pennant’s competition.

There were also games of Social bowls played. Robyn Smith and Mark Wicks proved too strong for John Coleman and Ernie Jones winning their game of three bowls triples 198. Val White, Bruno Stefanon and Dot Rankin got the chocolates in their game against Helen Jones, Robyn Rose and Wendy Hurnal.

The final score 23-11.

In the pennant’s practice G Gallaway Len Girgenti David Rose and Frank Gallo outscored Gordon Gallaway Peter Smith Jack Bell and Brian Brown 22-15. That was just prior to the news that NSW. would be in hard lockdown from 5pm Saturday.

As a result, Jack Bell, who lives across the border will be locked-out of the Fours Pennant matches at Clifton at the weekend.

It is regrettable and the team will certainly miss Jack but look forward to having him back as soon as possible.

The Stanthorpe Bowls Club’s featured sponsor this week is M & D Auto. The Club and members acknowledge and thanks Mick and Judy Spiller for their ongoing support.

SUPPORT FOR WORTHY CAUSE The Warwick Sporters club has been very busy since the beginning of August. The month started with the annual Queensland Police Legacy Golf Day, organised by Sporters member Sergeant Shane Reid and his old sidekick Sgt Mick Loveday now stationed in Toowoomba. This annua charity day supports QPS members families. More than 80 starters teed off, competing for an excellent range of prizes which were generously donated by sponsors from Warwick and surrounds. The Ekka may have been cancelled but unfortunately no one cancelled the Ekka westerly that howled across the course. With many areas in Covid lockdown there were a number of police and supporters who were unable to attend due to the restrictions. Despite the westerly wind and the LGA lockdowns the day was a great success.

The Sporters Club donated $1400.00 to the

cause to enhance the $2K raised on the day.

On Wednesday (11 August) a field of 62 including Sporters and visitors from Tenterfield GC played the deferred Pro shop stroke event.

The winner, Greg Wallace proving the value of high tech devices, shot a nett 64 off his 13 handicap. Runner up was the perennially unlucky Garry Adcock with 67 off his 14 handicap.

Collecting a ball in the rundown were Evan Pfeffer (68), Keith Farrell, Don Stewart, Diamond Pete, Rambo, John Brandon and Bob Lester all on the popular score of 67.

NTP were Mark Thomas on the fifth, Adam Hart the seventh and Turtle Wallace on the ninth. At the Pro pin on the 11th Eddie Raets picked up three balls, Greg Wallace two, Trevor Malone one. Eddy Raets collected another four balls at the Pro pin on the 13th, Sam McLennan three, Trevor Davies two and Charlie Morrison (still looking for the sandpaper) one.

Mark Thomas got the choccies at the 16th.

There was no Sporters played this week owing to the Ladies Three Day Championships. I understand some of the regular Sporters had hoped to make a flying raid on the Tenterfield course, but Mr Covid and Border lockdowns put paid to that trip.

The next Sporters game is 25 August and players will be vying for the Bells Butchery trophy.

A big shout out to the Hawker Road Function Centre, aka the Condy at the Golf club. Friday night dinners are now up and running. My spies tell me that last Friday diners were entertained by club member Eammon Cockram and his guitar. Eammon was ably supported by the Ted King Dance Triupe, with a stunning solo performance from Warwick’s answer to Michael Flatley.

SCHOTTELIUS ON TARGET There was a small but enthusiastic group on the Warwick Croquet court on Tuesday, 10 August.

Tony Hinde (20) v Peter Campbell (12) Dorothy Gartery and Lesley Grayson pegged out on 26 in their game against Julie Grayson (17) On Thursday (12 August) it was the Golf Croquet players on court. Beth Schottelius scored three hole in one shots and was clearly the best performed of the afternoon. Also on song was Carol Ryan who had one hole in one. Congratulations to both players.

BELL BACK HITTING THE SPOT On Wednesday 11 August, the Stanthorpe ladies’ midweek golfers played the Monthly Medal 18 Hole Stroke event. It was also the qualifying round of the Molly Pratt Salver match play. After several weeks where the players were forced to battle some extremely difficult and unpleasant conditions the group was pleased to find conditions perfect for golf.

Mei Bell returned after a short break and has lost none of her good form returning a winning 76nett. The runner Lynette Ludlow (77 nett) also returned the best gross score of 101. On the greens Ludlow’s skills also came to the fore as she also won the putting competition. Nearest to pin shots were won by Madeline Jarman (12th); Mei (5/14) and Lisa Stuart (17th).

There will be no bowls this weekend at the club.

With 12 players competing in the District Division One Pennants this weekend there will be no bowls at the club.

For barefoot bowls, social and competition bowls, functions and bar, it is hard to go past the Southern Cross Bowls Club Inc. located opposite St Mary’s Church in Warwick.

Follow the club on Facebook or contact the Secretary, Cheryl on 0407 641 158 for further information.

IMPROVED CONDITIONS REFLECTED ON SCORECARDS With no rain recorded on the Warwick Golf course for a couple of weeks now the course has dried out and firmed up considerably just in time for the Downs and South Western District Ladies Championship. Players are benefiting from some welcome run on the fairways.

The improved playing conditions have been reflected on the score cards and in last Saturday’s Monthly Medal event almost half the field of 23 played to, or below their handicap.

In Division One Gwen Mills returned 70 nett to win that Medal and the Condamine Club voucher. In Division Two, Anne Lyons scored an excellent 71 nett. Danielle Seibel was runner-up in Division One but not before surviving a four-way countback to clinch the voucher ahead of Judy Lester, Mel McLennan and Sam Hinze, all with scores of 72 nett.

Wendy Rhea returned 72 nett and was runner up in Division Two. The 72 nett players each received a ball in the run-down as did Kath Devereux with the best of the 73’s. Putting trophies were won by Melanie McLennan (28

Mel McLennan also had the Pro Pin on the 16thwith minor prizes to Gwen, Sam and Vonnie Pinington.

Danielle Seibell scored a rate eagle on the 15th. She set it up with a sensational shot off her three wood to the fringe of the green for two and then a ‘gobble’ into the hole.

In another eye catching performance, Sam Hinze hit her tee shot on the 13th to within a foot of the hole for the easiest of birdies.

Ladies are reminded to check their Pro Shop balance on the 1Golf site.

The nine hole competition attracted only three players. Jan Aspinall (14points) won the voucher after a countback from Lois Wilson (14 pts).

Scores were as follows: Div. 1: J Barnes (74), M Adcock (75), A Cox (80), A Payne (82), M Scotney and L Cockram (83).

Div. 2: Y Pinington and V Bennett (73), D Macdonald (75), T Ingall (79), D Evans (81), L Carey (83), J Davis (84), M Wright (87), L Weatherly (91) . Nine holes: G Watts (10pts).

On Wednesday the 11 August, 21 players took out cards in the Coffee Club sponsored single Stableford.

Di Evans enjoyed a return to form carding 35pts to edge out runner-up Janine Stewart after a countback and claimed the Coffee Club voucher.

Janet Davis played her best golf for some time to be in the ball run-down with 34pts.

Vicki Bennett also returned 34pts and along with Annice Payne and Dian Macdonald, (33pts), won a ball credit each. The Pro Pin on the fifth was won by Anne Lyons, with Janine, Mel McLennan and Kath Devereux taking out the minor places. A reminder that all Pro Pin prizes now accrue as credit in the Pro Shop.

Six ladies played the nine hole event on Wednesday and the scoring was hot. At her first start, Helen Daley won with a great score of 21 pts. She was followed closely by playing partner Jan Byrne (19 pts). These ladies normally play socially on a Tuesday, so it was great to welcome them to the Wednesday nine hole event. Other scores on the day were: J Barnes, M McLennan, Y Pinington, and P Eastwell (32), K Devereux and H Olsen (31), M Young (30), J Stiff (29), W Rhea and A Lyons (28), T Bell, J Lester, D Johnston, and M Adcock (27), T Ingall (26). Nine holes: J Aspinall (16), L Wilson, G Watts, and C Abood (13).

The Ladies’ golf clinic being currently held has attracted eight players who are currently enjoying their Thursday or Sunday lessons.

Their first time out on the course this week proved a real challenge to some. These ladies will however continue to learn and improve their skills. Members will be asked to assist these beginners and go around the course with them.

The semi-finals for the Lane Cup were decided last weekend and the finals will be played in the near future. In the first semi Helen Olsen and Mick Banks proved too strong

· ·

for Donna Keogh and Brendon Landrigan. The second semi was a real tussle with Danielle Seibel and Slim Eldridge paring the last hole to defeat a valiant Vicki and Terry Bennett. The final should be an interesting matchup.

On Wednesday 25 August the August MidWeek Medal has been scheduled. Nine hole events will be played in conjunction with both days.

Many players have seen their handicaps blow out by several strokes during the past months, so expect to see some good scores in coming weeks.

JOHNNO A WINNER The overall winner of the mixed social pairs played at the Warwick East Bowls Club was Johnno Johnson. Peter Collis and Peter Dipplesman were the equal runners up after three round of three bowl pairs. For another week the attempt at the Jackpot was unsuccessful.

On Saturday, the club’s Pennants players travel to the Summit to participate in the pennants competition. Bowlers will the Warwick East club at 7.15 am. to make transport arrangements.

A reminder that next Thursday is our monthly three-bowl pairs day. Play begins at 10am.

On Saturday 28 August the club fours competition begins. Check Spin next week for further details.

FOGGY START HIT AND MISS FOR SPORTERS Stanthorpe Sporters never quite know what to expect on an early Sunday morning on the Stanthorpe golf course and last week was no different. Golfers faced a thick fog as their prepared to tee off for Sunday Sporters. Needless to say, teeing off was a hit and miss affair. To many the drill will be very familiar – hit the ball and hope it goes up the fairway. Fortunately, most of the field were able to negotiate this successfully and by the time they reached the second tee, the fog had lifted replaced by a clear and warm morning.

Mick Irwin returned the best score of the day. Making full use of his handicap Irwin returned a nett score of 21. Good enough to ensure he grabbed the chocolates ahead of runner up John Rawlings, nett 22. Terry Roser collected the run down prize with nett 24.

Only the one pin shot for the day, that at the par three third hole. Terry Roser was confident after his ball landed a short distance from the hole. Following group, however, resulted in Brendon Barker being even closer to the hole to claim the pin. Unfortunately, Brendon missed the birdie putt but birdied the next hole, the hardest on the nine on his way to best gross score of 37 on the day.

Next Sunday is the back nine in play. All golfers are welcome to come and play. Tee off from 7.30am to 8am depending on the weather conditions at the time.

THREE CROQUET DISCIPLINES IN PLAY Three disciplines of Croquet were played in Stanthorpe last week. A smaller group played Association Croquet last Tuesday (10 Aug). The formidable combination of Grace Howard and Jenny Tunbridge got off to a good start and lead throughout their game against experienced players Joy Newman and Heather Widderick. Howard and Tunbridge each had two runs of two hoops in a row and it was Howard who pegged both balls out for their win. The final score 26-18.

Pegging out is the last play of the game.

When a ball has scored through all 12 hoops in sequence, it must then hit the pole in the middle of the croquet court for the last play of the game. It is then removed from the court.

When both balls of one team are pegged out, the game is over.

Golf Croquet This week Stanthorpe Mallet players welcomed John Colman, a keen and very experienced exponent of several Croquet disciplines including Golf Croquet, Ricochet and Gateball. He will be in the district for several weeks and joined the Golf Croquet group for the first time last Wednesday (11 Aug).

In the first game two teams of three players hit the greens for some exciting play. Di Wren (3), Liz Ellway (6) and John Colman (4) had a narrow win over Shirley Page (4), Shirley Evans (4) and Bev Sullivan (2). John Colman scored a great jump shot and Ellway was in top form scoring the highest number of hoops in this game. A jump shot is a very difficult manoeuvre. When a players ball is in front of the hoop blocking the next player from scoring the second player can make his/her ball jump up in the air and go through the hoop. Well played John.

Two games were in play before the break.

Shirley Page (3) and Judy Locke (4) played well unfortunately their opponents Di Wren (7) and John Colman (2) played a little better. Di Wren found her form in this game scoring seven hoops.

Shirley Evans also played well in her second game scoring 11 hoops to win her game against seasoned opponents Bev Sullivan (5) and Liz Ellway (4).

Players were back on the court on Thursday (12 Aug) for games of Ricochet.

John Colman chose to play solo against Carol Verwey and Sharyn Roser. Verwey and Roser got off to a good start, despite losing the toss to Colman who elected to start second.

Roser scored two hoops in a row in the opening stages. With little to no experience on the smooth and fast Stanthorpe greens Colman proved deadly with his long shots and very accurate judging length. Despite his formidable tactics and scoring two runs of two he was beaten 26-13. Carol Verwey played very well and also had two runs of two hoops in a row.

Gateball was the disciplines of choice on Friday 13.

Les Williams, Grace Howard and Sharyn Roser played the White balls against Heather Widderick, Joy Newman, Jenny Tunbridge and John Colman playing the Red balls. In the final few minutes of the game and won 13-7.

Whites got off to a slow start and trailed throughout the game. Reds scored an ‘Agari’ in the final few minutes of the game and secured a 13-7 win.

An ‘Agari’ is the last play of a ball. After it has been through all three gates, it hits the centre pole and scores double points. The ball is then removed from play.

From the outset the second game was much closer. Whites missed a few crucial gates at the back end of the game while Reds scored two ‘Agaris’ putting them in front 10-8 when the time in the game ran out. Gateball games are timed - 30 minutes per game.

In the third game Williams, Roser, Howard and Colman play the red balls against Widderick, Newman and Tunbridge playing the white. Reds proved too strong in this game, managing to send the white balls off court on numerous occasions. Widderick played very well.

FOGGY START NO PROBLEMS FOR CLIFTON SHOOTERS

BEST SCORE BY SPONSOR

HEARTBREAK FOR COWBOYS

Stanthorpe golfers played a Stableford event last Saturday, which was kindly sponsored by club members, Lorraine Evans and Madeline Jarman.

One of those sponsors, Lorraine Evans returned the Best score (34 points ) in the ladies event. As a co-sponsor Lorraine excused herself from accepting the winner’s prize, instead passing it down to the next best score. Nikki

After 80 minutes of nail-biting football last weekend at Fr Ranger Oval the Cowboys could do nothing but watch as Goondiwindi’s Glenn McGrady lined up a penalty kick from halfway to boot the Boars home 20-18 as the full-time siren sounded. After leading throughout the game, the Cowboy’s faithful watched in almost disbelief as an 18-16 lead evaporate on the back of two Cowboy’s errors.

· · ·

It was a foggy start to the for the members of the day Clifton Benchrest Shooting Club last Sunday. That proved little deterrent for two details of shooters vying for the honours at the Club’s monthly Club rifle shoot. Ben Duggan was in excellent form winning the Men’s Open Rimfire with a score of 586.18, the Hunter Class 200.5/200.20 and backing up with a winning score in the RBA Class of 239.6/250.25.

Jason Edwards shot well to claim second place in the Men’s Open Rimfire, 580.15, and then beat all comers to take the Rabbit and Crow Class 149.4/150.15.

It’s good to see juniors enjoying the sport and Amelia Steffen once again took out the Junior Factory Rimfire Class with a score of 428.0 . keeping it in the family, her father, Luke Steffen, won the Senior Factory Rimfire Class, with a score of 517.5.

Other Rimfire placegetters were: Gary Manteit, 3rd in the Open Rimfire (578.20.

Helen Manteit won the Women’s Open Rimfire ahead of second placegetter, Ashleigh Brown (573.16) and Marg Sullivan (367.00) in third spot.

Gary Manteit won the Centrefire competition with .3068 and also shot the smallest group of .192. In other Centrefire results Laurie Bowe (with .5918 ) was second 2nd and Helen Manteit (.5940) 3rd.

It was a riveting game that swung from end to end as both teams traded tries like a couple of fighters punching and counter punching.

With experienced players Ben Sullivan and Craig Donn sidelined, the Cowboys could ill afford the loss of their inspirational captain Mick Bloomfield in just the fifth minute of the game.

Brock Patti who had played a full game in Under 18’s came off the bench and played a great game.

Mitch Wilson was again in the thick if the try scoring and had the Cowboys in the board in the first 10 minutes. Matt Marshall added the extras and the Cowboys led 6-0.

It did not take long before Boar’s fullback David Armstrong who has had a great season, put the visitors on the board and with a successful kick from Glenn McGrady the scores were locked at six all after 15 minutes.

Wilson returned serve minutes later and another successful kick from Marshall had the Cowboy’s back in front 12-6.

Armstrong made it a double when he scored in the 27th minute. The conversion was unsuccessful, and the margin was 12-10.

Rarely has there been a Cowboy’s game this season where centre Joe Fuimaono has not scored a try, so it was no surprise when he crossed minutes from half time. Marshall kicked his third and at half time the Cowboy’s were more than up for the challenge against the comepitition leaders heading to the break with an 18-10 lead.

When the teams returned spectators knew there was much more to come in this game.

Glenn McGrady scored and converted his own try to narrow the margin to two points in the 42nd minute.

The Boars had much more possession in the second half and to the credit of the Cowboy’s they defended tenaciously. As the game clock wound down Goondiwindi threw everything, they had at the Cowboy’s, but they still could not get across their line.

With two minutes remaining the Cowboy’s conceded a penalty in front of the posts. Glenn McGrady was never going to miss, and the scores were locked at 18 all with just enough time for one or two more plays.

Unbelievably the kick to restart the game sailed over the sideline on the full and Goondiwindi had the chance to take a penalty from the halfway line.

McGrady never hesitated. He stepped up to the kicking tee and sunk the hopes of at least one point for the Cowboys as the ball sailed through the uprights. Final score 20-18 in a thriller.

The win seals the minor premiership for Goondiwindi who have been the benchmark team all season and places Warwick in fifth on the ladder stuck on 22 points with Highfields and Valleys trailing Goondiwindi on 27 and Wattles on 24.

Coach Matt Grew although disappointed said post game he was proud of the 17 blokes on the field who tried their guts out against the benchmark side.

Grew lamented that no matter how well prepared you and the team are you cannot prepare for the loss of your skipper at the beginning of the game but conceded his team had their chance to win the game.

Goondiwindi 20 (David Armstrong 2, Glen McGrady tries Glen McGrady 4 goals) defeated Warwick 18 (Mitch Wilson 2, Joe Fuimaono tries Matt Marshall 3 goals) In other games Warwick 30 defeated Goondiwindi 24 in Reserve Grade. Warwick also won the Under 18’s 44-8 and in the Ladies had a 42-4 win over Brothers.

And so, we roll on to the final game of the season – the local derby between Cowboy’s and Wattles. Wattles are coming off a huge win over Newtown last round and have certainly lifted their game at the back end of the season. The two teams last met in round six and it was honours to Wattles. If you can use Goondiwindi as the benchmark this should be a ripper game.

Early indications are looking hopeful that Cowboy’s captain Mick Bloomfield will take his place if his injuries continue to respond to physio.
