Last week a letter to the editor said to be by “The Emu Swamp Dam Brigade” was given prime space on page 2. The main point being made was that they claimed a group called POW had not named themselves in an advert. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. That dam brigade had not named themselves. In fact, they have written many letters to the editor of our community newspaper using that pseudonym. My parents taught me that hypocrisy is when “what you say is not what you do”. And those acting like that are hypocrites. They also taught me that hypocrites tend to be cheats and liars. I tried to look up That dam Brigade on the internet, but they don’t seem to exist! I looked up POW and found the group does exist: https://www.powemuswamp.org/our-future

IN BRIEF POW stands for ‘Protect Our Water’. I have put my name to this letter and believe everyone who writes a letter to the editor should do so. We can then have an open, productive discussion. Brian Gibbons, Stanthorpe Footnote: It is on public record that GBIP were surprised that they were asked to pay market prices for our town water. Their actual words were “that is not our expectation”. This is why many people were concerned when SDRC met in secret [and without listing it on the agenda] to determine a price to sell the water for. The fact is it took public pressure to get more ‘orthodox’ quotes than the ‘unorthodox ‘one they originally obtained. Well we may never know but we presume SDRC now have more industry appropriate othodox quotes. To read more letters to the editor, turn to pages 26 and 27

Help is here Southern Downs residents who have been impacted by flooding can now access financial assistance and support services. Minister for Communities and Housing Leeanne Enoch said this included Emergency Hardship Assistance grants, of up to $180 per person and $900 for a family of five or more, to support residents experiencing financial hardship as a result of this flooding. “We know that some people and families in these regions have only just recovered from the February floods and now they have been impacted again,” Ms Enoch said. “Only weeks later we’ve seen many properties and businesses across the south-east inundated by floodwaters and people isolated from their homes. “This is a heartbreaking situation, but we know Queenslanders are resilient and have a strong sense of community spirit. “Our financial assistance is a safety net for people and families who are experiencing hardship and there are also a range of services available through our non-government partners, including emotional and psychosocial supports, to help people through their recovery.” Financial assistance is available under jointly-funded Commonwealth/State-Disaster Relief Funding Arrangements (DRFA). Emergency Hardship Assistance grants help cover the costs of essential items, such as food, medication and clothing, for people who have been directly impacted by this disaster. Other grants such as the Essential Household Contents Grant, Structural Assistance Grant and Essential Services Safety and Reconnection Grant, which are income-tested, are also available to eligible residents who are uninsured and have experienced certain loss or damage following this disaster. Minister Enoch said the Queensland Government’s Ready Reserves were on standby to lead community recovery efforts in these areas once flood water subsides and it is

Southern Downs residents can now access financial assistance and support services to help with flood recovery. safe to travel. “These dedicated community recovery workers will be mobilised into affected communities as soon as possible to help individuals and families access the financial assistance and support services that they need to assist with their recovery,” she said. “We are also continuing to monitor the current flood situation in other communities across the south-east and are working with local authorities as damage and impacts become clearer. “Unfortunately, this weather situation is not over yet and we know many communities have been impacted. “We are ready to step up and assist where we are needed, and we expect further activations over the next couple of days as the rain clears and floodwaters subside.” To apply for grants and find more information: Visit www.qld.gov.au/SEQFloodRecoveryMay2022 to check your eligibility, find out what documents you need, and apply online; or Phone the Community Recovery Hotline on 1800 173 349. Additionally, anyone impacted by the flood event can apply for housing assistance, including homeowners and private renters, by visiting www.qld.gov.au or calling 13QGOV (13 74 68).

Covid impacts Election Day With Election Day coming up, the Australian Electoral Commission has outlined how people who test positive for Covid-19 in the week leading up to Election Day can vote. Electoral Commissioner Tom Rogers said the AEC is accounting for the pandemic in many aspects of election delivery, including options for Covid-19 positive voters in isolation. People who test positive for Covid-19 from mid-week onwards, who haven’t already voted, and have missed the postal vote application deadline, will be able to access a telephone vote. Information about the telephone voting service will be available to voters who need it once postal vote applications close.

Emu Vale dog breeding case settled A dispute between Emu Vale residents and a proposed dog breeding business has been settled. The case went before Judge McDonnell at the Planning and Environment Court on Wednesday 11 May, after a “fruitful mediation” on March 28. Barrister Tim Stork, representing the dogbreeding Cook family, presented Judge McDonnell with significantly revised plans for the kennels. The new plans showed there would no longer be a dog faeces pit and that all animal waste would now be put into a bio-cycle septic system and would therefore not be composted onto grassed areas as originally planned. The new plans also included a significant upgrade to building materials including a state-of-the-art acoustic ceiling, the removal of patios and windows, and the inclusion of double-air-locked internal doors. Fencing around the two external dog runs will now be of the same high standard as motorway barrier walls and will be surrounded by dense hedging. Reportedly, the new Town Planning Director conducted a review of how this case was handled and was due to hand down a report on 16 May.

DDH urges locals to get their flu shot Darling Downs Health (DDH has encouraged residents to protect themselves against influenza, as the cooler months start to set in. They state the best way to avoid getting sick is to talk to your GP about receiving a flu vaccination. From the start of January to the start of May, there have been 39 laboratory-confirmed cases of influenza in the Darling Downs Health region. Director of Public Health and Community Medicine at Darling Downs Health Dr Liam Flynn said this is slightly increased in comparison to previous years, which is why it’s important to get the flu vaccine. “Now is a great time to protect yourself and your loved ones, so you’re immunised before the flu season arrives,” Dr Flynn said. “Flu season in Queensland typically peaks in August, so I’d encourage all members of our community to visit their GP or pharmacist and get the influenza jab soon. “The flu hasn’t gone away, and we still face the possibility of a serious flu season this year.”

Development hits residents AFL superstar in Warwick By Emily-Rose Toohey

By Emily-Rose Toohey

Freestone Road residents are unhappy with a planned short-term accommodation development. “It’s going to be a wasteland with cabins on it – do council care about the environment and people?” Similarly, Jim said they are concerned about the noise pollution of both the construction and potential people staying at the accommodation after its completion. “It’s going to be made available to a lot of younger people so consequently there’ll be a lot of drinking and partying,” Jim said. “But the thing that really annoyed us most is we weren’t told by council – they needed to be upfront.” However, a council spokesperson said that the Freestone Road development is within the Specialised Centre zone. “Within this zone, short-term accommodation is code assessable under the Southern Downs Planning Scheme, meaning that no public notification was required to be undertaken,” the spokesperson said. After the group had a meeting with relevant council staff and Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) CEO Dave Burges last month, Melanie said there was nothing the impacted residents could do. “It wasn’t pretty and the development is a done deal,” she said. When asked if council would assist impacted residents knowing they were unhappy with the development, council did not respond.

AFL superstar Jason Akermanis is coming to the Warwick Redbacks AFC Club this Saturday night for ‘Beers and Burgers’. In order to make the event happen, Redbacks president Tyhe Clarkson said the club received a grant through Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) to bring the former Brisbane Lions player to the town. “He’s also going to watch our home game on Saturday afternoon against Dalby beforehand,” Tyhe said. However, the Redbacks faced a setback last Friday with flood water inundating the grounds - he said a group of people spent the weekend cleaning up. “It happened so quickly and the water got up to the top step our clubhouse - it was very, very close,” Tyhe said. “When the water receded, we had debris all over our field. “We lost power for a couple of days since our power box was completely underwater, and the gas bottle was knocked onto its side.” In spite of this, Tyhe said the club members have maintained a positive outlook. “We missed out on a home game last weekend as a result of flooding, but this weekend’s going to be great,” he said. “Akermanis is coming and one of our players, Nick Donges, will be celebrating the most games played by a Redbacks club member - 265 games played.” The event this weekend starts at 6.00pm at the Redbacks’ clubhouse, and Tyhe said everyone is invited, AFL player or not. “It’s $25 to enter, there’ll be a bar and a free burger, and Akermanis will be talking about his AFL experiences,” Tyhe said.

A short-term accommodation development approved in December 2021 on Freestone Road has impacted surrounding residents. Eight units and ten cabins are being built and according to a council spokesperson, the short-term accommodation is designed for tourists or travellers to stay for a temporary period of time. Freestone Road residents Bryan Wright, Melanie Gibbons, and Jim Rickard have voiced concerns about the development’s impact on the environment, the residential area, and their properties. Bryan only moved into his house last August and said he recently renovated it. “When I finished doing up the property, I got my real estate guy to evaluate it, but the property’s value has gone down about $50, 000 since, because of the development,” he said. “The cabins are going to be right on my back door and the driveway being built will come in right next to my bedroom window.” Aside from the direct impact to his property, Bryan said he decided to relocate to Warwick due to its country locality, and the accommodation will impact this. “I’m going through bowel cancer at the moment and I really don’t need any more stress,” he said. “Council just doesn’t care.” Bryan has decided to sell his house as a result. Furthermore, Melanie lives across the road from the accommodation site and said the residents have environmental concerns. “The fact that it’s becoming almost a commercial road instead of residential, I feel like the accommodation’s going to change everything,” she said. Bryan echoed this sentiment and said that numerous trees will be knocked down for the development. “I know for a fact possums live in those trees, we have echidnas, and we’ve seen koalas,” he said.

Region smashed by floods By Dominique Tassell and Emily-Rose Toohey The Southern Downs Region has been hit hard by the worst flood seen in the past decade. Residents of Fitzroy Street in Warwick were met on Friday morning by rising water. “It came up so fast,” local Wendy RogerClaxton said. She wants to thank those who helped her during the flood, particularly Les, Tash, and Phil. Helen Harm Real Estate’s Helen Harm also experienced the impact of flooding on Fitzroy Street and said by 11.30 am on Friday morning, water started coming through the floorboards. “This is the fourth major flood I’ve experienced,” Helen said. “Since the Bunnings has gone there, the water comes in a different direction. “I don’t have insurance because my block is near and prone to flooding.” Despite the event’s urgency, she said that the community were great and willing to help out. “However, some people do come and stare, so if you’re not going to help the community, have respect and stay away,” Helen said. Across the road from Helen’s business, the majority of locals living at the Pioneer Cottages have been evacuated to housing elsewhere in town, with cleaners now trying to get the homes habitable again. The cottages were reportedly bought after World War II and were originally available for those suffering from PTSD. Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) later bought them and has used them as lowincome housing since. One resident of the Pioneer Cottages has lived there for 15 years and witnessed four floods. He said the situation is now just getting him down. “I don’t want to look at it,” he said. The water hit the bottom of his bed, he said, which is not as bad as the 2011 floods but has still left many with their property destroyed. He said he is couch-surfing at the moment, as he is worried about mould in his cottage. The local said residents will eventually get back inside their homes and be comfortable for the time being. “Until the next flood,” he said. Some locals have questioned why the cottages have not been raised, considering their position and the damage done during past floods.* Warwick East State School on Fitzroy Street was also heavily affected by the flood. A spokesperson for the Department of Education stated that the school experienced “extensive damage” during the flood. This includes damage to classrooms and amenities, as well as to the play areas, tennis court and the school oval. The National school building onsite was also heavily impacted by floodwaters. The spokesperson stated initial rectification works have commenced and a heritage consultant will be engaged to assess the cur-

They also stated that QBuild has arranged for the reconnection of electrical services to the majority of the school buildings. Rectification works commenced on Sunday, 15 May 2022 with priority areas addressed in the first instance. Works will be ongoing throughout the week. Warwick East SS was closed on Monday 16 May and Tuesday 17 May, the only schools in the Darling Downs South West region to do so. Ten state schools were closed in the Southern Downs on Friday, 13 May due to flood-related access concerns. The schools closed were Allora P-10 State School, Applethorpe State School, Glen Aplin State School, Greenlands State School, Karara State School, Killarney P-10 State School, Leyburn State School, Murray’s Bridge State School, Warwick East State School, and Yangan State School. During the flooding, Warwick Indoor Recreation and Aquatic Centre (WIRAC) was activated as an evacuation centre for locals. While pets were not allowed in WIRAC, the SDRC pound worked with the centre to take in displaced cats and dogs. An SDRC spokesperson stated that the fee to return animals is being waived due to the natural disaster.** Businesses throughout the region were also heavily impacted by the event, including United Service Station located close to the OO Madsen Bridge. Due to their proximity to the river, they could not escape flood damage.

United Service Station manager Sarah Weidman said, all things considered, the business was pretty lucky. “We lost a bit of stock and food because our freezers were knocked over,” Sarah said. As of Tuesday morning, the service station was still closed but Sarah said she hoped to reopen later in the week with limited stations. “We’ve been flooded in the past, either during the 2011 or 2013 floods, but we were not expecting it this time,” she said. Towards the other end of town, Warwick Showgrounds was inundated with floodwater. Warwick Show and Rodeo Society secretary Terri Gilbert said the event was pretty catastrophic and had a major impact on the grounds. “The arena will be out of use until late July as all the sand was washed away,” Terri said. “There was massive debris throughout the grounds and we spent all weekend cleaning up - it needs major work.” Staff were advised to stay at home on Friday morning and Terri said many were trapped. “It was left to a small band of wonderful volunteers on Friday to get things to higher ground,” she said. “Luckily, all the higher areas are fine.” Warwick Gymnastics Club, a notorious site for flooding, was impacted around 3 am on Friday morning. Warwick Gymnastics Club president Coby Walker said he is usually concerned during wet weather events, and this time he knew there was too much rain to ignore. “One of my colleagues went to check the

club,” Coby said. “The water went through the normal part of the complex, and they managed to get the mats up before the water came right through. “But there are still pools of water underneath the complex from previous flooding – Council has agreed to remove the pipe that has increased the water flow, although we haven’t heard from them since.” Furthermore, Coby said this is the club’s sixth major flood and 11th or 12th minor flood. “It’s happened so often that it’s now the luck of the draw as to whether we’re able to move the equipment in the event of flooding,” he said. Outside of Warwick, Killarney Autoworks’ Paul Fox said his business became flooded on Thursday night after the village’s main street was inundated. “We sustained damage to premises and equipment – I’ve been flooded about five times in 15 years,” Paul said. “We started preparing for the worst around 3 pm on Thursday.” During the aftermath of a night of heavy rainfall, he said that the Friday consisted of cleaning his business. “Although the flood level wasn’t as high, a flood’s a flood and there’s water where you don’t want it,” Paul said. Back in Warwick, the Warwick District Football Association was also impacted, with floodwater covering the field and flooding their equipment shed. However, a band of volunteers stepped up over the weekend to help clean up the mess left behind. Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) Media stated that from 3 am to 3 pm on Friday 13 May, QFES responded to 27 calls across the state. State Emergency Services (SES) performed 17 water rescues in the South East region, and one water rescue in the South West region. Statewide, there were 441 calls for SES assistance and 227 were flood-related. In the South East region, there were 79 calls for SES assistance, 29 of which were flood-related. In the South West region, there were 62 calls for SES assistance, 45 of which were flood-related. Warwick Fire Station on Canning Street was flooded due to its proximity to the Condamine River and was back up and running as of Monday night. Reportedly, the damage was minimal. Killarney Fire Station did not pick up when called. *SDRC was asked to comment on the Pioneer Cottages but did not respond in time for print. If one is received after our print deadline, we will update this story online. **SDRC was asked how many people used the evacuation centre, and how many animals were surrendered to the pound but did not respond with a comment in time for print.

DFV law reforms revealed By Emily-Rose Toohey Last week, an overhaul of laws and practices to better protect Queensland women from domestic and family violence and hold perpetrators to account was announced. The $363 million package of reforms includes new laws and programs to recognise, prevent, and punish coercive control. “This includes a Commission of Inquiry into police practices, expansion of the Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) courts, better support for women, a special strategy for First Nations communities, and funding for perpetrator programs to change men’s behaviour and stop the cycle of violence,” the reforms outlined.

“Furthermore, this includes ensuring victims receive a joint response from police and DFV services, and respectful relationships education to all Queensland children and young people are increased.” Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) Cr Jo McNally addressed these reforms during last week’s council meeting. “I would like us, as a council, to write a letter of congratulations to both the Premier and the Attorney-General on this stance,” Cr McNally said. “It’s the start of something big and hopefully a much safer community for everyone.” The reforms are the result of Justice Margaret McMurdo’s Women’s Safety and Justice

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the Taskforce received more than 700 submissions from women and girls with lived experience of domestic and family violence. “In addition, women have literally taken to the streets to say ‘enough is enough’,” she said. Before the end of 2023, a bill will be introduced to criminalise coercive control - the most common factor leading up to intimate partner homicide. Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Minister for Women, and the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence Shannon Fentiman said this was one of the Taskforce’s key recommendations. “Our systems need to respond better to this form of violence,” the Attorney said. She said that although police save the lives of women and children escaping domestic and family violence, the Taskforce outlined that many survivors had not received an adequate response. “A key focus of the reforms will be to build understanding of DFV and coercive control across the agency to help police improve how they respond to these matters,” she said. At the SDRC council meeting, Cr Stephen Tancred suggested also sending a letter to the Police Minister Hon Mark Ryan.

The government has overhauled laws to better support DFV victims. “A lot of the reforms are centred around police responses,” Cr Tancred said. SDRC Mayor Vic Pennisi said he was happy to draft the letters to be signed by all councillors, and the motion was hence moved. In relation to the reforms, the Taskforce has made 89 recommendations and the final report is due by the end of June.

Southern Downs ARK has a number of dogs and cats up for adoption. This week we’re highlighting PHOEBE. Age: 2 years 10 months Adoption fee: $300 About This beautiful female cat is Phoebe, a medium-hair calico with a striking coat pattern and an elegant plume of a tail, which she loves to wave around to illustrate her point. She enjoys human company and is happy to be picked up, but is anything but needy. A quite independent girl, she spends the day with her feline favourites and is generally happy doing her own thing, whether that’s sleeping, investigating, lying in the sun or contemplating the big questions in a cat’s life, such as when her next meal will arrive. Phoebe has a curious fascination for the “bathroom” (AKA lavatory, toilet, small house, water closet). When her foster mum heads in that direction, she comes running and sits at her feet to be petted. That’s the only time she demands attention. Phoebe is tolerant of children with good cat manners. She loves other cats, but has had no exposure to dogs since being in care. She would be well suited to a multi-cat

FEDERAL ELECTION WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Candidates for Maranoa *Dave Kerrigan, Australian Labor Party, did not respond to our request for comment.

Nonsense “handouts” (to win votes) must stop. Tough times ahead, yes. Even tougher if we continue to increase the tax burden on everyone to fund the handouts. One Nation opposes increasing handouts and taxes on our citizens and supports increasing taxes on multinationals.

MIKE KELLY, PAULINE HANSON’S ONE NATION 1. What is your stance on climate change and your policies regarding it? It’s become evident during the covid debacle that false news, manipulation of reports to meet international agendas and suppression of any alternative view to the government narrative have unreasonably manipulated the ability for the community to have a rational, balanced debate. Seeing the lengths the government will go too in order to promote their narrative has made me question everything I’d previously considered to be credible. The more I research, the more questions I have. 2. How do you plan on ensuring the safety of the roads in the Southern Downs? As the only candidate that has driven the entire electorate, I’ve experienced first-hand the condition of the roads. The blame game between different levels of government needs to stop. I aim to close the federal offices (currently costing $1,000,000 per year in office and administration expenses) and relocate into the local shire offices for better communication and coordination between local and federal levels of government. Hopefully those savings can be reallocated to things like roads. 3. What are your policies regarding the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)? Recent reports indicate the NDIS annual

Mike Kelly, Pauline Hanson’s One Nation. budget will blow out to $45 billion within two years. That equals the defence budget. “Sticky fingers” syphon the funding all the way through; leaving very little for the end user. While driving the entire electorate, every Maranoa community has been very critical of the NDIS program on the ground. “Dysfunctional” is the most common word used to describe it. We need One Nation type of transparency and accountability. 4. How will you combat the rising cost of living? Taxation is our single biggest expense (7th highest globally). Government spending is paid by taxing incomes, goods and services. Reckless government spending increases taxes to fund everything so it must stop.

5. What are your policies regarding the Ag Visa? The Agricultural and Skilled Work Regional visas both attempt to solve the short-term issue however One Nation takes a long-term view attempting to solve the structural issue permanently. Declining populations in our rural communities is the problem, caused by lifestyle and career opportunity challenges. Solving the water challenges with the national building Hybrid Bradfield Scheme gives our communities long term water security so we can rebuild the regions with confidence for all future generations. 6. How will you and your party support our growers, given the rising costs of production? The Ag-Tech industry has tremendous scope to increase productivity and efficiency in many Agricultural sectors, however our Water Policy will bring the greatest benefit to the industries. We aim to remove foreign and investor ownership of water rights to ensure price gouging doesn’t occur during the most volatile times of limited supply. One Nation believes the only people who should own the water are people directly connected to the land (not outside profit driven investors).

ELLISA PARKER, THE GREENS 1. What is your stance on climate change and your policies regarding it? The Greens have a plan to reach 100 per cent publicly owned renewables by 2030, with free retraining, a job guarantee and supported wages for workers. If the major parties keep approving new coal, oil and gas, food, insurance, energy and health costs will go up, we’ll see more flooding, fires and drought, and over a million jobs in industries including tourism and farming will be at risk. We see this as negligence to the Australian people. 2. How do you plan on ensuring the safety of the roads in the Southern Downs? The Greens’ $500M annual investment in active transport infrastructure will help fund more safe crossings and separated bike lanes to reduce risks for pedestrians and cyclists. We’ll also provide $190M for flood-affected communities to rebuild and upgrade critical infrastructure like damaged roads, and allow Councils to sue coal and gas companies for repairs after climate-driven severe weather events.

3. What are your policies regarding the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)? A fully funded National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has great potential to transform disabled people’s lives, but it needs to be more transparent, consultative and accountable. The Greens have a comprehensive plan to improve the NDIS by: Removing the staffing cap Upgrading IT systems and interfaces Properly resourcing compliance and investigation through the Quality and Safeguards Commission Removing the age limit for people over 65

· · ·

4. How will you combat the rising cost of living? We need to increase wages and properly fund basic services like health, education and housing. In the balance of power, the Greens will push to bring dental and mental health under Medicare, make childcare, uni and TAFE free, and build 1 million affordable homes over 20 years. We’d also legislate to raise the minimum wage to 60 per cent of the median wage and raise all income support payments above the poverty line to $88 a day.

1. What is your stance on climate change and your policies regarding it? The Liberal National Government’s emissions target is sensible and achievable, protecting traditional jobs while creating new clean energy jobs. I’m proud as Agriculture Minister to have created a world first Biodiversity Stewardship program that will pay farmers not just for carbon abatement but biodiversity. The budget introduced tax incentives for farmers to participate worth nearly $100m that will go back to farmers and regional communities. The government has also introduced protections within this program so that productive agricultural land is not locked up to protect regional communities. We’ll achieve our emissions target through technology, not taxes. 2. How do you plan on ensuring the safety of the roads in the Southern Downs? Our record $120 billion, 10-year infrastructure investment program is helping Australians get home sooner and safer. This includes more than $33 billion over the next four years to make our roads safer. In the Southern Downs, projects like the $20 million Eight Mile Intersection Upgrade and the $22.4 Cunningham Highway Safety Upgrade are under way. Locally, Southern Downs Council identifies their priority road projects and the Liberal National Government makes funding available - $6.6 million annually for Financial

5. What are your policies regarding the Ag Visa? Where labour shortages exist, the Greens insist that we should advertise and provide free skills training locally first, and restrict temporary working visas only to fill genuine skill shortages or enable important international collaboration. Due to unaddressed concerns about seasonal worker exploitation, we opposed the new agriculture visa scheme in the Senate. The government should work with unions and employers to negotiate a guest worker framework, ensuring Australian pay rates and enforced local legal standards. 6. How will you and your party support our growers, given the rising costs of production? The Greens will reinstate the $25M/year Carbon Farming Futures grants scheme, assisting growers to implement sustainable and regenerative agricultural systems and practices which can reduce input costs from synthetic fertilisers and herbicides. Because we refuse corporate donations, including from Coles and Woolies, we can fight for farmers to get fair compensation for their produce. Our plans to protect the environment will support clean air and water and healthy soil for current and future growers.

funded the NDIS with $33.9 billion this year and $157 billion over the forward estimates – compared to just $8 billion spent on disability support before the NDIS. We’ve worked to reduce the red tape; successfully passed the Participant Service Guarantee to set new standards for shorter timeframes for participants’ engagement with the NDIS; improved the Supported Independent Living Home and Living supports process to ensure participants benefit from faster decision-making; and made it easier to access Assistive Technology (AT) up to the value of $15,000. With zero tolerance for fraud, we’ve also established a dedicated NDIS Fraud Taskforce to protect participants and their carers.

4. How will you combat the rising cost of living? The Liberal National Government has an economic plan to help families with cost of living pressures when they need it most - cuts to the fuel excise, saving 22 cents per litre; tax cuts are helping more than 53,300 people in Maranoa to save $2,745; apprentices and trainees in priority occupations will receive $5,000 to offset training costs; changes to the child care subsidy so that families with two or more children aged under five, will save on average $2,260 a year; and more older Australians will have access to more affordable health care and medications to help ease cost of living pressures under changes to the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card. 5.What are your policies regarding the Ag Visa?

$81 billion this financial year with exports to peak at $64 billion. I’ve implemented the biggest-ever structural reform of this workforce with the introduction of the Australian Agriculture Visa, to provide farmers with medium and long-term certainty about their workforce. The Government will continue to sign up countries to the Australian Agriculture Visa Program, building on the agreement with Vietnam and will also continue to support our Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme that played such a vital role for our primary industries through the pandemic. 6. How will you and your party support our growers, given the rising costs of production? Only the Liberal National Government has a plan to help our primary industries achieve their goal of reaching $100 billion output by 2030. The plan includes delivering and expanding the Ag Visa program. Our Government is committed to securing the water our farmers need: $168.5 million to help build Emu Swamp Dam and $790,240 to support the Warwick Recycled Water for Agriculture Project. An additional $10.9 million allocation for horticultural netting will help growers to protect produce from pests and weather. Other supports include improved access to agricultural chemicals through an investment of $25.7 million to 2025; and the Fuel Tax Credits Scheme - ensuring agricultural businesses are not disadvantaged by paying excise on the off-road use of diesel in the production of their goods.

Absent: Toby Paterson and Mac Lehman from Killarney P-10 State School. dance due to flooded roads The first agenda item of the year, put forward by Jackson Sparksman, was about road safety. Jackson stated he was concerned about road safety on the Cunningham Highway and the New England Highway. He said the lack of maintenance means it’s “not safe to be driving around on”.

“That split second is enough to distract a driver or send someone onto the other side of the road.” Jackson said potholes can cause accidents, and he would like to make our roads safer for locals. Mayor Vic Pennisi stated he would like to have Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) staff attend the next meeting to speak on this issue, then offered to have Jackson sit on the road safety group. He then spoke at length about the difficulties SDRC faces when dealing with roads in our region. He said recent rain had made maintaining our roads particularly difficult and then detailed the process SDRC must go through to get funding from the Queensland Reconstruction Authority to fix roads. Jackson said roads should be fixed properly to begin with and paperwork should be reduced. A second agenda item from Maggie Myer about recycling was held over for the next meeting. Mr Callope spoke about his journey from a small town on the cape to working in LA with

stars like Snoop Dogg and the Kardashians. He stated he spent time in a maximum-security prison at age 19 and was homeless for a period of time. But his persistence, knocking on doors of clubs and asking to perform as a rapper until they gave him a shot, paved the way for success. Mr Callope went on to win national music awards and has worked with an array of bigname celebs. He then went on to study for his bachelor’s degree at the University of Queensland, and now attends Harvard Medical School. He stated that his journey had taught him courage and “the meaning of resilience”. Mayor Vic Pennisi and Crs Jo McNally, Sheryl Windle, and Marco Gliori attended the badge presentation. Cr Andrew Gale made apologies after a health incident. Crs Cameron Gow, Stephen Tancred, and Cynthia McDonald also made apologies. The next Youth Council meeting will be held in Stanthorpe in August.

NATHAN MCDONALD, UNITED AUSTRALIA PARTY 1. What is your stance on climate change and your policies regarding it? I have concerns around what the major parties’ commitment to net zero emissions by 2050 means for jobs and the Australian economy. There are important questions around what net zero will cost the country, which already has a $1 trillion national debt, and what impact it will have on our world class agricultural and resource industries. The UAP believes the government should be proactive in establishing research into new nuclear technology, which does not create carbon emissions, to help solve Australia’s energy problems. 2. How do you plan on ensuring the safety of the roads in the Southern Downs? The UAP is committed to help fund key in-

frastructure in our regions. If elected, we will ensure that this is prioritised so that each need, such as roads, is funded appropriately. 3. What are your policies regarding the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)? The UAP supports the continuation of the NDIS and believes that this program needs to be reviewed to ensure it is more efficient. 4. How will you combat the rising cost of living? The rising cost of living is being caused by rising inflation. Reckless and wasteful government spending has created this problem and has seen our national debt balloon to around $1 trillion. To put downward pressure on inflation, we need to stop printing money and pay down our debt. The UAP has a plan to introduce a 15 per cent export license on the export of all iron ore, which will allow us to pay off our nation-

BRETT TUNBRIDGE, AUSTRALIAN FEDERATION PARTY 1. What is your stance on climate change and your policies regarding it? The Federation Party has a Comprehensive regenerative climate policy with the aims of reducing the adverse effects on the environment by the revitalisation of the farming sector through reducing agriculture costs, the reliance on toxic chemicals and the over regulation of farms. In partnership with Landcare Australia and Indigenous leaders, a new and revitalised ag sector will emerge where the job of a “farmer” will again be an honoured family tradition. 2. How do you plan on ensuring the safety of the roads in the Southern Downs? Our roads are our life. This is a highly personal issue for me as I have experienced family tragedy on a badly constructed and poorly maintained local road. I will advocate strongly for a broader and comprehensive program of reconstruction

Brett Tunbridge, Australian Federation Party. and sensible use of resources in targeted areas and a long term road, rail and air transport planning scheme to alleviate misuse of infrastructure with efficiency and safety as a focus.

MALCOLM J RICHARDSON, SHOOTERS, FISHERS AND FARMERS PARTY 1. What is your stance on climate change and your policies regarding it? The climate is always changing, we need to be looking the big polluters and finding better ways to reduce the harm being done. Buying and locking up huge “carbon farms” isn’t the answer. Neither is “Net Zero” which will kill the Maranoa. We need to have a close look at nuclear power technologies and have a discussion about this as an alternative. 2. How do you plan on ensuring the safety of the roads in the Southern Downs? Currently, roads are built to budget, not to purpose. That is a flawed way of building. We need to build better to ensure the life of the road. It isn’t about roads, its about the lives that travel them. There are roads here built in the 50’s that are better than today’s roads. We need to ensure the quality of the job and hold the contractors accountable for their work.

al debt in 20 years. 5. What are your policies regarding the Ag Visa? I would support the continuation of the Ag Visa and review it in due course to ensure it is effectively serving the interests of the agricultural sector and not inadvertently causing unintended consequences elsewhere. 6. How will you and your party support our growers, given the rising costs of production? The UAP does not have a plan to directly interfere with market forces with regards to this. However, our commitment to stop reckless and wasteful government spending and to pay down our national debt will help curb rising inflation. This will hopefully assist in keeping increases in the cost of inputs in the agricultural industry to a minimum. Obviously, there are some external forces at play that are really driving this.

Nathan John McDonald, United Australia Party.

3. What are your policies regarding the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)? The NDIS system has the potential to be of great use to its beneficiaries, The Federation Party will trim the multi level bureaucracy that is preventing its correct access to disabled and frail Australians and place responsibility for its administration where it belongs, with allied healthcare practitioners that know the issues facing each recipient personally. 4. How will you combat the rising cost of living? The “rising cost of living” is a misnomer, poor economic performance by successive governments over decades has led us to the point where we as a nation are impoverished and sliding further down the slope of economic ruin daily. All foreign agreements will be reviewed in the interests of what benefit they provide us and all decisions will be based on this criteria. The Taxation, Banking, Finance and superannuation industries will be likewise reviewed.

5. What are your policies regarding the Ag Visa? Our priority is to get Australians into the ag jobs where they are so desperately needed, properly paid skilled overseas workers are welcome to participate but perhaps it is time to look at our approach to performing these jobs ourselves by incentivising our own people to do this, a million schoolkids who have never picked an apple? tens of thousands of homeless around the country? unemployed? Allow them to keep the money they make, easy! 6. How will you and your party support our growers, given the rising costs of production? By the implementation of alternative crop, fruit and fodder options based upon a restructured CSIRO and real consultation with producers, effective methodology and the removal of red tape and restructuring of crippling debt loads to offset rising production costs. Proper taxation review for our primary producers and better communication within the rural farming sector as to their needs from the government.

moving parts to deliver the service properly. We need to put the delivery of the NDIS in the hands of allied health providers and remove the corporate greed from the system. A review of how the funds are being distributed also needs to be undertaken. 4. How will you combat the rising cost of living? I believe reducing income tax for the low and middle income earners will see some relief. By reducing operating costs for transport operators, we will see goods delivered cheaper, in turn reducing the costs to the consumer. Whilst ever fuel and transport costs rise in rural areas, so will cost of living. 5. What are your policies regarding the Ag Visa? Ag Visa suits a purpose. We should be addressing the unwillingness to work by younger people. Subsidising visa worker wages could also be applied to Australian workers. We need to address the reasons Australians aren’t filling these positions. Wage assistance

from Government doesn’t flow to local wages. 6. How will you and your party support our growers, given the rising costs of production? Next to defence, farmers are the most important part of our country’s survival. As with transport, the cost of fuel is one of the biggest problems farmers face. By reducing taxes and excise on fuels and machinery, removing compliance fees and government charges, and looking for better trade agreements, we can reduce some of the costs borne by the farmer and help increase income. I have written about reducing taxes and excise in many of the responses above. To offset these, we need to reduce our foreign aid spending, negotiate better trade deals with our partners, increase mining royalties on exported minerals and reduce the cost of Government, starting with the reduction and freezing of political salaries, and the removal of political pensions. We serve at the pleasure of the Australian people, and we are not there to take advantage of that.

McDonald’s Plan to Tackle Issues We Face By Nathan McDonald

Nathan McDonald, UAP Candidate for Maranoa, has lived in Maranoa most of his life and has had the opportunity to travel across this amazing part of Australia many times. He believes Maranoa is blessed with excellent resources and resilient people, and its future is bright. McDonald says, “Government just needs to support Maranoa in a few key ways and then get out of the road to let it flourish.” According to McDonald, the first thing government can do better to support people in Maranoa is to not take it for granted. Given it is not a marginal, he believes Maranoa misses out on its fair share of funding. McDonald observed, “Much of the wealth generated in industries such as agriculture, mining, gas and tourism ends up funding government projects along the coast. It’s time the government focussed on delivering more important projects in the bush. We need better telecommunication services, water security, roads and health services. Under my representation, I would want to have 25% of the wealth generated by Maranoa reinvested in the electorate, which is United Australia Party policy. This would be a gamechanger for the people of Maranoa.” McDonald is of the view that if this were to happen, no longer would the electorate be the

the tenets and teachings of their particular faith. Lastly, we need to protect freedom of choice so a ‘no jab, no job’ policy never again sees nurses, ambulance officers, teachers and police officers lose their ability to earn and living and assist others through their profession.” Finally, McDonald would like to see zonal taxation introduced so those living west of the Great Divide pay less tax, as not only would this put more money into the pockets of those living in electorates such as Maranoa, but it would also help decentralise Australia. He highlighted that the United Australia Party has a policy whereby every individual and business 200 kms or more from a capital city is provided with a 20% tax concession. McDonald stated, “This would encourage growth and revitalisation in our regions. Towns in Maranoa that are currently shrinking could see an injection of life. With United Australia Party’s candidate for Maranoa is Nathan McDonald. Picture: CONTRIBUTED greater investment and opportunities in our regional communities, young poor cousin to those in the more Maranoa, and right across Austra- people would be able to remain in suburban, coastal areas of our great lia for that matter, need protection their home town to live and work if nation. to say what’s on their mind without they so desired, and more professionProtecting our freedoms is an- censorship from Big Tech or being als could move into the regions to other thing government can do to silenced by the noising minority.

WINTER WARMTH

Saving energy over winter Winter is a great time for curling up and watching something on television. Unfortunately, it’s also the time of year when you watch your energy bills soar. There are ways of saving energy over winter that can slash your energy consumption without forcing you to turn off the TV and heating system, wrap yourself in blankets and suffer through the cold winter months.

Days are shorter and nights are longer over the winter months and on those dark, cloudy days, we tend to turn the lights on in the house. Between using electricity for longer hours at night and more often during the day, we use a great deal more energy for lighting in the winter than in the summer. An inexpensive way to drastically reduce our energy consumption for lighting is to re-

STARTING FROM ONLY $49

place incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs wherever possible. Compact fluorescent lightbulbs use just a quarter of the energy of standard bulbs. Compact fluorescents are available at lighting suppliers everywhere. While it may be tempting to keep your house “toasty warm” in winter, bear in mind that every single degree of heat you add to the temperature of your house with your heater adds up to 15 per cent to your energy consumption. If you turn down your thermostat just a few degrees Celsius, you can slash your energy consumption nearly in half. You may not even have to, but a savings like that makes it worth it to add an extra layer of clothing if you

feel the need to. You may need to check out your ceiling insulation. Heat rises and escapes rapidly through a poorly insulated ceiling. There are two types of insulation - bulk or reflective. Ask your local home insulation expert to install the best ceiling insulation for your home. Between insulating your windows and ceiling, replacing your light bulbs and turning down the heat just a little, you’ll be able to go back to watching a good movie on TV and stop watching your energy bills soar in winter. Finally, if you live in a home with timber floors the installation of underfloor heating can help to keep you warm and save considerably on power bills.

FLOOD RECOVERY

Mayor’s Flood Recovery Message Disaster sometimes brings out the best and worst in people. While our region has just experienced a major flooding event which has had a devastating impact on our community, we have in some regards dodged a bigger bullet. A situation can always be worse and I am grateful that I am dealing with a flood event as opposed to living in war-torn Ukraine. Whilst the flood impact could have been worse, we have still suffered substantial damage to infrastructure, in particular our road network. Our officers are still evaluating the damage and the list will materialise as soon as they can assess the whole of the region. In short, there is more than 3,000kms of road and it will take time to fully assess the flood’s impact. It is important for our residents to understand that recovery from the recent flood event will be a long journey. Because of the weather conditions, it is difficult for Council crews to get machinery onto our roads. Furthermore, small repairs such as pot holes will take months to patch and major damage will take years to get back to a reasonable and acceptable standard that meets community expectations.

This does not take into consideration further rain events, which seems unlikely at present. I congratulate our residents for being patient during these challenging times and I ask everyone to also be kind to their neighbours and our staff. They too are doing the best they can during these exceptional circumstances. Please know, it will take time to rebuild. It will take time to dry out so that we can do the simplest things such as mowing. Consequently, Council has agreed not to issue any overgrown allotment notices during these unprecedented times. We also appreciate that as we transition to recovery, the community and impacted residents will have questions on rebuilding and moving forward. Council has established a dedicated portal on its website which will continually be updated with new and helpful resources to assist our region with the recovery process. Visit www.sdrc.qld.gov.au/floodrecovery for more information. In closing, please contact Council to report damage. Please phone 000 if you are in danger. Please reach out to us or contact the SES if you are in urgent need of supplies. Stay safe Southern Downs.

Report damaged roads

with Council’s MySDRC App Help Southern Downs get back on track by reporting roads in need of repair. If you see damage that is making a road or street very unsafe, you should report it to Council using the MySDRC App.

Keeping Faith ABC TV, Friday, 9pm

On paper, Keeping Faith revolves around a mother and lawyer in the Welsh countryside. It sounds run of the mill, until you watch it. Beginning with a thrilling first season as Faith (Eve Myles, pictured) tried to find out where her missing husband had gone, it quickly became apparent that this was a series unafraid to go full throttle. Packed with ambivalence, secrets, moody landscapes and a histrionic soundtrack, it’s back with its third and final season. Eighteen months have passed and Faith is busy juggling motherhood and the biggest case of her career, only to have her idyll threatened by the return of someone from her past – her estranged mother, Rose (Celia Imrie).

australia Votes: election night liVe ABC TV, Saturday, 6pm

As the nation either sits back with gritted teeth or hearts brimming with optimism, the votes are feverishly being counted and analysed. While we all wait to see who is going to guide Australia for the next four years or more, there’s something therapeutic about hearing the results come in live across the country – especially when it’s with a team of political analysis experts. Tune in to the developments and results with ABC chief election analyst Antony Green; seasoned journalists including Leigh Sales, David Speers (pictured), Annabel Crabb, Andrew Probyn and Laura Tingle; along with Labor’s Tanya Plibersek and Liberal Senator Simon Birmingham.

9-1-1 Seven, Monday, 9pm

You’re kidding if you think this excessive American confection, starring Peter Krause (pictured) and Jennifer Love Hewitt, following the nine-to-five of emergency first responders isn’t really a show about superheroes; they are dressed in ordinary paramedic and fire services gear, but don’t let that fool you. These folks can take on anything, from a newborn stuck inside a plumbing pipe, a boa constrictor choking a woman, an airbus plane crashing in water, and a roller-coaster packed with people stuck upside down. You name it, they’ve been there – and lived to tell the tale. This double episode kicks off with the team rescuing a diver who panicked in a shark cage.

If there’s anyone who makes cooking look like a cinch, it’s Silvia Colloca (pictured) – if only we could all look as fetching and joyous while we kneaded mouth-watering bread and simmered a rich ragu. The former opera singer and actress is not a trained chef, but the Italian expat is arguably more at home in the kitchen than Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal combined – she’s effortless. This week, Colloca gets into the spirit of Ferragosto, a mid-summer holiday ritual across Italy where families gather to eat delicious food. Featuring a sumptuous three-course feast with seafood and affogato, it’s the sort of public holiday we all need.

This week on the farm By Judy Barnet, Ag Columnist

First Prize Photo.

A picture donated for the auction from Richie’s Daughter. dock to worm the goats. Of course, Edward was the perfect gentleman with Richie so I let him put them in the pen. I proceeded to drench the goats from the outside of the pen while Richie held the goats. I left two stout pieces of heavy poly outside the paddock gate in case they are needed when loading Edward next week for his final voyage. We will divide the trailer in two and the other tickets for the fare on the trailer belong to two big fence hopping goats if we can catch them! I have had a change of heart in deciding not to go ahead with the Gypsy Wagon – Shepherds Hut project. Considering the large amount of money I would need to sink into it, I have decided a converted bus would be a better project! Not just any old bus of course. I spotted an ad for a 1947 REO bus on Gumtree, and a 1952 model as well. Both belonged to the same owner but one was in Brisbane and one at Deepwater. It was with much excitement that Dear Richie and I headed off on Saturday for a rare day off the farm to Deepwater. Luckily, despite the flooding in Warwick and Stanthorpe, the road was clear and quiet all the way there. The asking price for the bus was over my budget and although in excellent condition for age would require a total refit. It was with a heavy heart that I decided to say no to the REO. We didn’t come away empty-handed though. Richie spotted a White Truck engine and gearbox for which he parted with $200. Actually, Dear Richie only parted with $100 as that was all the cash he had so I guess I am half owner of a monster motor – something I have no idea what we will do with. We could not pick it up at the time as it was too wet and we had no way of lifting it so I reckon it will cost a fair bit more than $200 by the time we get it home! We are going down to look at the other REO next weekend. It, however, requires even more work to restore although it does have more character. In a funny turn of events, I had been chatting to one of our former camping guests that lived on the Sunshine Coast and when I mentioned the bus hunt to him he was just as excited as me and mentioned he would love to help us restore a bus as he has done this before. How grateful I am as I certainly don’t have

the necessary skills or time to be more than someone to pass the tools and hold things! Now here are a couple of facts courtesy of the busman (who has an amazing website) that you don’t know about REO Vehicles. 1. REO stands for Ransome Eli Olds – inventor of the Oldsmobile. 2. The first REO commercial vehicle was called the REO Speedwagon which leads us to number three which you most likely have guessed by now. 3. Like me you will most likely know the band REO Speedwagon prounced R.E.O. Speedwagon (Think “Take it on the run” and “Keep on loving you” – One of the band members saw REO Speedwagon written on the blackboard during a history lesson and hence the name of the band. So if any readers know of a good but older bus for sale, please let me know. The Faverolle Fowl A dual-purpose breed originating in France known to have personality plus, the breed was derived from crossing the Dorking, Houdan and other Asian Breeds. The Faverolle has 5 toes, a beard and earmuffs. They also have feathered legs. They are a medium-sized fowl and lay tinted eggs – around 180-200 per year. They do come in bantam as well as large although I myself have not seen any in Australia. Our President Anne Sim tells me that she keeps them. She has told me the story of how she came to breed this smart-looking chook: Most poultry breeds (well almost all) have a bantam equivalent. These bantams are supposed to look just like the full version, but weigh less. I had been hearing about bantams of many breeds; that the egg size was quite good, but they ate a lot less and took up less space. A really good scenario. I decided to get some bantam Faverolles. When I started looking there were not many breeders around so it took me a while to purchase some eggs. After I had had the bantams for a while I decided to purchase some eggs for full-size Faverolles. I really did see the differ-

A New Day. ence. Yes, much, much bigger, ate much, much more food and the egg size was not that much bigger. Unfortunately, a local dog came in and killed them all! But as fortune would have it I had eggs in the incubator at that time, so was able to continue with the breed. Faverolles have an interesting history. They are a utility breed originating just outside of Paris, for eggs and meat. They are readily identified by their beard and muff (mutton chops). The original colour is called salmon which is the colour of the hens and the roosters are a different colour. So if you don’t want to rear a pen of roosters they can be identified very early. They are now available in many colours, but I prefer the original. I find that they have nice friendly temperaments. They will go broody but not often. They lay really well when young but by three years old have slowed down a lot. Bantam Faverolles are new, and their type is not set. There is so much to get right. And so much to go wrong. Probably the first thing is to get the size to bantam. This is constantly breeding the smallest to the smallest. Then there is type. Do they really look like a utility bird? And then the fine points; colour, beards and muffs, and did I mention, they have 5 toes, not the usual 4. It has been a time of great learning. I have learned about nutrition. It’s not just chucking a few scraps to get good fertility. Once the eggs are laid they have to be handled correctly to maximize hatching. I use an incubator which has to have the correct temperature and humidity. Then once the eggs hatch the chicks have to be cared for until they are old enough to go outside. It does not matter what breed you have but I want to rear the healthiest and best birds I can. My aim is to breed a pen of near-perfect bantam Faverolles, but I have been told to just try to breed one top one! One of my friends has told me it could take 40 years. Well, maybe you will see me one day in years to come as the old lady with her walking frame at a poultry show and her pet chickens.

As I am writing, Warwick is receiving an unprecedented amount of rain. I have never experienced so much rain in my life. I hope everyone heeds all the warnings and stays safe. The only animals on the farm enjoying the wet are the ducks. We are lucky here at Glenlyon that we did not receive the deluge that hit Warwick and surrounding areas. I tipped out a mere 32mm from the rain gauge this morning, Friday the thirteenth, and 12mm yesterday. It was with a sigh of relief that I just today finished the last-minute updates to the Rare Breeds Trust Auction. I can’t wait to see how it goes. We have also just completed judging for our Rare Breed Photo Competition. Some beautiful photos were received. We thoroughly enjoyed attending the St Marks Church last weekend and I managed to contain myself from buying too much. Books and cakes were what I came home with. CJ came with us and patiently handed out our very quiet ducklings for children to hold. I think holding the ducklings was the most popular attraction at our animal nursery this year. It was wonderful to meet one of the readers of my column – a lovely gentleman from Maryvale. It is advice I always give to new sheep, goats or cattle breeders, so why didn’t I heed it myself? That advice was to never keep a poddy raised animal as an entire male. It is asking for trouble. They don’t see you as the boss and have no respect or fear of you either. Often they will be perfect gentlemen for a year or two and then when you least expect it they turn on you. Bulls, of course, are particularly dangerous because of their sheer size and weight and it was only a few months ago a friend was showing me how quiet her poddy reared bull was. I advised her to always be aware of him and where he was when handling her cattle. It was only a week or two later I received a phone call saying the bull had started growling at her. I advised her to put him on a truck quick smart and later that day he was on his way. In my case, it was a ram I had reared during the drought. His dam was a particularly good type of ewe, but old, and I didn’t know if I would get any more lambs out of her. Edward had been the perfect gentleman for more than two years but I had an inkling of what was to come. I recently showed a lady some goats she was looking to buy that were in the same paddock as Edward. She said that rams made her nervous. I said to just ignore him and next thing he gave her a gentle bump. Later that day I mentioned to Richie that we would have to watch Edward. I don’t think he believed me but a few days later when both he and I were in the paddock, Edward was taking particular interest in me. When Edward was about 30m away from us I heard him coming up behind us at a run. I swung around to face him and he just caught me as I moved away, luckily not too hard. I picked up a stick as he went to come at me again and hit him several times until he ran off. Luckily for me, there were sticks in the paddock. Edward was issued with a one-way ticket that very day but the weather has so far prevented his departure, so it was with some trepidation I returned with Richie to the pad-

for ‘excuses’. Not all councillors can attend all events, that is why the Mayor requests or delegates appropriately. The Anzac Day services were a fine example of this in action. I was elected independently and I stand for my constituents in the region independently. I’m not here for ‘excuses’ but I do make well-reasoned decisions in my capacity as a councillor, farmer and mother. Of note, I’m currently flooded in on my property, so sometimes there are circumstances beyond our control. Kind Regards Mrs Cynthia McDonald, Mother, Farmer

The forgotten ones It was interesting to receive a email from the SDRC on Friday the 13th May 2022 of an opportunity for RESUPPLY of Essential Goods and it was addressed “Resupply - Condamine River Road”.

The email provided a procedure as attached. I rang the number provided to sort something out for the 8-10 persons that were trapped out there in the Gorge due to this weather. Mind you, I have had to live in my office at Killarney for weeks on end because of the same issue. But that’s a later story. A lovely lady answered the phone and I requested some assistance in getting supplies out to the Gorge. I also suggested the only way that was going to happen was via helicopter and that threw a cat amongst the pigeons as that was not in any of their attached plan. She requested I hold until a supervisor could advise and when she responded it was a response I did not expect although not surprised. “you have to ring SES” The SES is obviously were busy tidying up and going about their business in saving people. I get that. So SDRC did not have a plan for the resupply of the people living in the Gorge. That is evident now and once again we are

“the forgotten ones.” But that is only one part of the problem we experience living in the Gorge. And why we are forgotten after the weather events also by the SDRC. We spend weeks trying to either get home or back into town based on the crossings and we can wait weeks to achieve that. SDRC refuses to assist us in reinstating the depth of the crossings by simply placing natural river rock that is in abundance lying around the place to make the passage safe to travel and organise our own resupply. It is a very low cost effective solution that Council are refusing to consider and yet we pay our rates with no services provided out in this part of the world. You would think that maybe this could be incorporated in their resupply plan or any of their minor maintenance plan for Condamine River Road. BUT NO – Let’s just forget about them.

THIS DAM IS AN OUTRAGEOUS WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY THAT WILL BENEFIT A FEW AT THE EXPENSE OF THE MANY. If you were asked how you would like $186 million taxpayer dollars spent in the region would it be on a private dam? Wouldn’t you prefer better resourcing for our hospitals, schools and emergency services? More affordable housing? How about youth employment and training? Ironically, SDRC’s proposed $3.5 million investment in a dam which does not drought-proof Stanthorpe comes at a time when Council will run a multi-million dollar deficit this financial year. www.PowEmuSwamp.org

Supporters of the uneconomic, unreliable Emu Swamp Dam, including the Mayor and several SDRC Councillors, are now celebrating further government funding. The total taxpayer subsidy for this private project is now a whopping $186 million or close to $4 million for each of the 50 irrigators who will benefit from the dam.

I was personally disappointed by the numerous articles in both the Warwick and Stanthorpe Today newspapers dated 12 May which concerned the Stanthorpe 150th Celebrations and numerous other activities in the Stanthorpe region. Stanthorpe is a wonderful area and I have been by no means neglecting it for political rivalry or divisions. I would generally not reply to such exaggerated assertions but in this case I feel it is warranted. My family like so many other has two teenagers who require time and effort in the evenings after school. My husband is a truck driver who is often away overnight due to his occupation. This makes me the primary carer at night. I made an informed decision not to participate in this particular event due to the fact that the acting rehearsals required me to travel approximately 3 hours round trip from Rodgers Creek to Stanthorpe and 1 hour in rehearsals (4 hours per night). I also considered the fact we have 8 other councillors who would appropriately represent the region in the event. My husband and I both paid over $300 to attend the Apple and Grape Gala Ball, unfortunately I came down with Covid-19 and was quarantined during this period, in accordance with Qld health regulations. I was due to sell my weaner cattle at the Stanthorpe Weaners Sale on 12 May, but this was cancelled, due to weather events beyond my control. I certainly do support the region, both Warwick, Stanthorpe, Killarney, Leyburn, Allora and Pratten and all the other smaller townships. We are one, not divided. I cannot speak on behalf of my other colleagues but I was appalled that that as councillors we were collectively chastised

not gone and sought help and were found dead a couple of hours or so later. I learnt from their mistakes and went to the Warwick Hospital. A place where they do take these things seriously and it was diagnosed quickly and efficiently. I was later taken to Toowoomba and the next morning I had a procedure under a local anaesthetic to get that pesky artery back up and running. After a couple of days of monitoring, when I even had the time to zoom into councils general meeting from the ICU. I was back in Warwick in time to witness the Friday the 13th floods. I’d just like to take this opportunity to say a couple of things, firstly, thanks to everyone for the care I was shown. Our wonderful staff at Warwick Hospital, the overworked ambos and the staff at St Andrews at Toowoomba as well as my darling wife and family and everyone who sent well wishes. The main reason I wrote this however was to encourage others to never ignore the signs your body sends you. Even the subtle little ones mine sent me. Ignoring them might be the last thing you ever do. Life is too precious and you only get one shot at it. God bless. Andrew Gale, Warwick

After one of the most dramatic weeks of my life (apparently) I felt the need to put pen to paper for a couple of reasons. One to give thanks, and secondly, to share my little cautionary tale. I started Monday at the pre-poll election booth at Warwick. Something I’ve been doing for quite a number of elections, local, state and federal. Little did I know that shortly after lunch I’d be staring death in the face. In the form of a heart attack. And not any old heart attack. The type that apparently kills 88 percent of those that have one. What they call a “Widow-Maker.” In slightly more technical terms, a 100 per cent blockage of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery. Now this sounds, and is serious, as any cardiovascular affliction is. It was just, well, for something so serious, pretty darn anti-climactic. The actual event was boring even. I’d be lying if I didn’t think I was a likely candidate for a heart attack. Many of my lifestyle choices over the years have been dubious. Although I’ve made some major lifestyle changes in the last few years including losing a lot of weight (45 kgs), I knew the long term effects would still be there. I’ve always, therefore, been on the lookout for signs and symptoms of one. So when it came a knocking on Monday I knew what it most likely was. What surprised me was what a soft little baby knock it was. I had always expected chest clutching pain extending to my jaw and arm etc, shortness of breath and dizziness. What I got was a mild but persistent ache in my upper chest. The sort of thing I’d experienced many times after a footy game where you’d done a fair bit of tackling. Certainly nothing uncomfortable. Just there. It’s scary. It was so benign I’m sure I could have ignored it if I really wanted to. Something that probably would have been the last mistake I’d make. As a copper I’d dealt with death from an early age and investigated many deaths where people had died from heart attacks. Many were eerily similar to mine. Except they had

STANTHORPE TURNS 150 1902

Stanthorpe of old: 1902 The following is an excerpt from the Brisbane Courier dated 14 February 1902, archived by the National Library of Australia. Stanthorpe Show 25th annual exhibition ‘The twenty-fifth annual exhibition of the Border Agricultural, Horticultural, Pastoral, and Mining Society was opened today under very favourable conditions. It was thought that the extremely dry weather experienced during the past few months would prevent a good display of the products of the districts, and it was all the more pleasing, therefore, to see such a fine collection of fruit, which is always the chief feature of the Stanthorpe show. A heavy hailstorm passed over the district at the commencement of the fruit season, destroying a great portion of the fruit and vegetable crop in the vicinity of the town, and this no doubt had some influence on the quantity of the exhibits. Another matter which made it difficult for the show to be representative of the fruitgrown in the district is the fact that the fruits ripen at different periods, and many of the beat fruits, such as cherries and apricots, are thus not represented because they ripen at a time long before the date of the show. The date chosen for holding the show is that at which most of the fruit ripens. The fruit exhibits The quantity of fruit exhibited this year is not so large as on some previous occasions, but the quality is of the finest and is greatly admired by the numerous visitors to the show. It would be difficult to mention any one variety of fruit as being better than the rest, but apples were the most prominent. The prize for best collection of fruit went to

Mr W. Wright of the Ballandean Orchard, who had a varied and well arranged collection of fruit of high quality. Mr R. Hoggan of Lyra was a large exhibitor, his pears being very much admired. This gentleman has done more than any others in the district to promote the fruit growing industry, and his efforts in this direction were generally acknowledged. Other exhibits Farm and garden produce was not well represented, which was chiefly due to the dry season and the disastrous hailstorm. H. Gimm gained first prize for cabbage and the tomatoes shown were of the best quality. There were a large number of exhibits of school work and fancy needlework. There were also a number of drawings and paintings, and the general exhibits were satisfactory. The horse-section filled remarkably well, the number of exhibits being double those of last year.’ The following is an excerpt from ‘They Came to a Plateau’ by Jean Harslett and Maryn Royle. 1902: Mr Benson fruit culture expert in Queensland visits Stanthorpe and reports, “growers showing a determination to work out their own salvation”. He visits the established orchards at Kyoomba, Stanthorpe, Ballandean, Lyra and Wallangarra and reports pruning being done systematically, spraying with lime-sulphure and salt wash covers most problems, inspect pests are not prevalent, growers are already planting trees they have ‘worked’ (propogated) - an advantage to have varieties which have proven themselves.

Men closely associated with the development of the fruit industry. Mr Robert Hoggan of Lyra, a retired trigonometrical surveyor and experimentalist in growing fruit trees. Picture: STANTHORPE CAMERA CLUB 28 TODAY Thursday, 19 May, 2022

Mr Chas Teale was the first to plant an orchard at The Summit.

To the north, Mr John Bruhn purchased land in 1899 and established the first orchard at Thulimbah, Plateau Orchards.

John Luke owned the Ballandean Run in the Stanthorpe district. He was a member of the Divisional Board in 1899, Stanthorpe Shire Council from 1899 until 1928 and president of the Stanthorpe Show Society in 1908. He sold Ballandean Station in 1928.

Father Jerome Davadi, sometimes referred to as ‘Father of the Fruit Industry’, encouraged diversification. He was able to see the problems of settlers as incomes from tin petered out, and planted his first experimental vineyard near the Presbytery. Picture: MR BOB BARONIO

GARDENING

Beatrice Hawkins

Plants to repel the bugs I started to write this last Friday 13th, just as the river was reaching its peak in town. After having it so dry for so long we certainly don’t need rain again for a while. Having, in another life, been involved in a flood, I feel for all those affected. One thing the rain did help me with though, was removing some self-sown sorghum from my garden. It had been too hard to pull before, so I guess we can find a positive in most situations if we try! I’m thinking those affected by the flooding might be finding it fairly difficult to do that right now, however. I saw a list the other day of “plants that keep bugs away”. Now anything that is going to prevent me from having to use sprays and particularly insect repellents, has me interested. Companion planting is good and I try to do this with my vegetables. Tomatoes and basil are a well-known combination and basil also repel house flies and mosquitoes. So maybe a pot of one of the many basils near the door would be a good idea. Many years ago I planted a diosma near my front door, only to find out later that it was greatly attractive to house flies!! Not one of my better ideas! Marigolds planted around nearly anything, seem to be beneficial and will repel mosquitoes and aphids. Apparently, rosemary will keep ticks and fleas away as well as being a very useful culinary herb. Mine is flourishing in a side garden near my clothesline and I love the smell when

What I thought were Banksia Birthday Candles but are actually Coastal Cushion. hanging washing out. I also frequently use stems in flower arrangements. Peppermint is a deterrent to spiders, mosquitoes and ants and catnip also for mosquitoes. Lavender for moths, fleas, flies and again, mosquitoes. The added advantage of lavender is it is a great attractant for bees and butterflies. I love to sit on my front patio and watch at least 3 types of bees busy on the lavender: ordinary honey bees, blue-banded bees and tiny native bees.

Lemongrass in its many varieties is, of course, closely related to citronella, so is very useful against mosquitoes. Similarly lemon thyme and lemon balm. So many of the lovely things we like to grow in our gardens for their beauty or because we like to use them in cooking, also have other uses to help keep us free from annoying pests. With mother’s day just behind us and the beauty of Chrysanthemums at this time of year, it is good to know that they contain pyrethrum and this makes them very effective in keeping a wide range of bugs away. Just some that they are known to repel are ants, cockroaches, ticks, spider mites, silverfish, ticks and fleas. Any of the many forms of alliums are also great to have as companion plants in your garden. So in your winter garden with broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower plant some onions, garlic or chives and this will help repel the many bugs that enjoy these as much as you do! As you all know I love Australian native plants in all their variety. I well remember as a child being totally in awe of grevilleas and bottle brush as I walked in the bush. Tiny native orchids and the lovely blue and white native violets were favourites and brought home from my ramblings to my Mum. Mum loved nothing better than a bunch of fresh red gum tips. Banksias grew on the roadside as I rode the bike to school. At the corner where I live now, there is a large banksia at present covered with

lime green flowers. It seems to always have some brushes but has really outdone itself at the moment..very impressive. 70 years ago Mum was way ahead of her time in planting natives in our yard. As I drove past my childhood home a few years ago the banksia she planted was still flourishing. May Gibbs’ “Snuggle Pot and Cuddle Pie” was a favourite childhood storybook and of course, the “Bad Banksia Men” were all part of the fascination with native flora and fauna. Without realising it I was being introduced and encouraged to a lifelong love of all things to do with the Australian bush. Recently a friend sent me a lovely picture of a banksia and another friend told me it was called “Birthday Candles” and that’s just what it looks like. As it turns out that wasn’t quite right.. it is actually “Coastal Cushion”!! It is more of a ground cover with golden yellow flowers standing straight up where Birthday Candles is more of a small shrub. Apparently, I should find it, and “Birthday Candles”, as tube stock as they will establish more easily. I should plant them in full sun in well-drained acidic to alkaline soil and keep phosphorous well away. I have read that you should treat them with iron chelate twice a year and once established they will require very little water. They are both also frost tolerant. Maybe I need to find a spot for them both. I can see more gardens and fewer lawns in the future!

Bridge club results By Neil Bonnell, Warwick Bridge Club Four hundred years ago Shakespeare’s three witches in Macbeth could have been giving modern bridge players a terse warning when they chanted, “Double, double, toil and trouble.” In bridge a bid of “double” has more than one meaning. One is a penalty double when your opponents’ bidding reaches higher levels. Then “double” means we think that we can defeat you. If you win, you receive a bonus; if you fail to fulfil your contract, your losses are doubled. In the first round of the Friday red point event, my partner and I doubled three times with mixed success. On Board 9 (above) we doubled Angus Macdonald’s contract of 4S, which required ten tricks to be made. As North had bid hearts, South led the Queen of hearts, which was trumped in dummy (West). Angus saw that playing trumps immediately would leave three losing hearts in hand. He therefore trumped clubs in hand and hearts in dummy before taking out our trumps. The only trick he lost was the Ace of trumps. By making not only the ten tricks required, but adding two more Angus scored 1190, which was nearly double the 620 which ten tricks undoubled would have earned. On Board 27 we doubled our opponent’s contract of 5D, which failed by two tricks. Sadly for us, this earned us only 300, whereas if we had bid on to 5H we would have scored 510. At this stage it was two losses out of two, although there was some compensation on Board 13. We had reached the modest target of two clubs, which required us to make only eight tricks. West then made what is called a “take-out double” which is used at a low level. It shows a shortage in the opponents’ suit and asks partner to bid partner’s best suit. More in hope than expectation, South redoubled. This meant that each trick above eight could be worth as much as 400 points. The bidding stopped there. When declarer

Fun at the eisteddfod By William Lister Last week we had a concert at school and I played a solo on the cello and the song that I played was hot cross buns and for some reason I played it two times. There were other kids that played violin, clarinet, trumpet, flute, saxophone, trombone and piano. My teacher’s name is Maple and she’s a great teacher. The Border District Eistedfodd is coming up in the first week of June. And I’m going to play a cello solo in the Eistedfodd for the first time and also a poem and also some songs and poems with school. Mum says it doesn’t matter if you win a prize it’s just about having fun and enjoying performing. Hopefully next year I can play a duet with my friend Patrick on violin.

made twelve tricks the score for us was 2360. The leaders in the two-session red point event are David Moran and Noela Collins, who played solid bridge without once using a double. Results: Friday, 06/05/33 (5-table Mitchell): N/S N. Collins D. Moran (61.2) 1; H. Richardson (54.6) 2; E/W J. Mobbs T. Hinde (60.4) 1; S. Goddard N. McGinness (57.5) 2. Monday, 09/05/22 N/S T.

The Spin Vale, the wild colonial Roy A shock news broadcast has become far too familiar for Sports fans especially Cricket fans in the past few months. Just as we have been working to reconcile the shock death of Shane Warne and to a lesser extent Rod Marsh, we woke on Saturday morning to the almost unbelievable news that Cricket had lost one of its greatest larrikins and most remarkable talents, Andrew “Roy” Symonds. Roy was without doubt one of the greatest all round talents I have had the privilege to watch. Taken from us at 46 after a car accident – it seems such a waste and quite unbelievable. Surely Symonds, who would have preferred the title of his book ‘Roy on the Rise’ to be ‘Roy The Wild Colonial Boy’ was indestructible. In that very book the prologue opens with Roy saying ‘I would never consider myself to be a revolutionary. A bit rebellious perhaps but revolutionary no way.” Of course, he was referring to T20 cricket and the rise of the IPL but “A Bit Rebellious” was even for Roy and understatement. This was the guy who turned up to sign his first contract in a Ute, with a couple of dogs in tow and wearing an Akubra and not much changed over the ensuing years. Roy was never far from the action on the cricket field and we all loved him for not only his talent but the way he played the game. He was wrong in saying he was not a “revolutionary” because he certainly revolutionised the white ball game, put his indelible stamp on Test Cricket and yes of course the T20 game. Visiting Charters Towers several years ago with the Wanderers team and his great mate Jimmy Maher who he played cricket with and against from age 10 it was clear to see Symonds was North Queensland’s cricketing hero. In the Towers we were introduced by local cricketers to, “the field where Roy played; the pitch where he hit the biggest six they have ever seen (and that was he was a kid); the nets where Roy trained, the school Roy attended and on and on – you get the picture.” They didn’t let on his favourite NQ fishing haunts though. Not for Roy the Corporate world post cricket and even through his career. His passions were his family, fishing, crabbing, his dogs, hunting and NQ. Of course, the fishing as is well documented got him in to all sorts of hot water. It is amazing to now reflect how different things are from 2008 when the Monkeygate episode erupted after Harbhajan Singh’s disparaging remarks directed at Symonds. Symonds found no support from Cricket Australia, the ICC or the Indian Cricket Board during the whole ugly affair. The effect on Symonds has been well documented and is a period in Australian cricket where the administrators of the day should hold their heads in shame. Only yesterday I read where one, Jones has finally admitted they let Roy down. Too little too late. Tributes continue to flow for this remarkable cricketer, but I was taken by Ricky Ponting’s words. Punter said, “If Roy shook your hand, you had his word, that’s the sort of bloke he was and that’s why I always wanted him on my team. An extraordinary player and even better human being.” There can be no greater accolade. RIP Roy – you were special. Post Script - To the Captain upstairs – Now you have among your team up there some of the greatest ever; - Bradman the Batsman and captain; Warnie the greatest ever Spinner; Rod Marsh one the greatest ever Glovemen; Benaud one of our best and now Roy the ultimate all-rounder; Dean Jones another world class batsman; Phil Hughes an emerging talent and too many others – enough already. No more. -Casey 32 TODAY Thursday, 19 May, 2022

REDBACKS CLEAN UP AND WELCOME ACKER The Warwick Garden’s Galore Redbacks AFC love their views of the Condamine River most days, not so much last weekend. Like all other clubs located close to the Condamine, at the weekend their fields were inundated with flood water. Fortunately, there was no major damage done to the interior of the clubhouse with floodwater reaching the top step of the building. Having said that the clubhouse was without power for three days as the power box was fully submerged and required a complete refit and caused the loss of some stock. One of the club’s water tanks was moved off its slab and several pipes were damaged. Despite this Redbacks President Thye Clarkson was upbeat when he spoke with us earlier in the week. With mud everywhere Clarkson and others spent much of Monday hosing everything under and around the clubhouse down and cleaning away debris. Now it is full steam ahead for this weekend’s home game against the Dalby Swans and a few days of good sunshine will go a long way to drying out the ground. Saturday will be a milestone game for club stalwart Nick Donges who is set to play his 265th game for the Redbacks – a club record breaking the previous record (264 games) held by Life Member Jason Wright. The club will also welcome Brownlow Medallist and triple premiership player Jason Akermanis as their special guest. Akermanis will be an interested spectator at the game and will be staying on for a special Sportsperson dinner at the clubhouse - Beers and Burgers commencing from 6pm. Akermanis, known for his freakish goal scoring ability played more than 300 AFL games. He kicked 421 goals for the Brisbane Bears, Brisbane Lions and Western Bulldogs. Inducted into the AFL Hall of fame in 2015 Akermanis was never far from controversy during his career however there was never any doubt about his prodigious talent. He was a winner of the 2002 AFL Goal of the Year and had the ability to kick goals from even the most acute angle. Akermanis was an integral member of the Lions legendary team which won threestraight premiership from 2001-03. His post goal handstand celebrations became as much his signature as his bleached white hair. Jason Akermanis was more than just a great footballer. He was an entertainer. There is no doubt an evening spent listening to Acker’s story will also be entertaining.

Tickets ($25) are currently on sale - visit https://square.link/u/liYpMRfW?src=sheet or visit the Warwick Redbacks Facebook page. The evening will also include some special raffles and auctions. The club wishes to thank the Southern Downs Regional Council - This project has been assisted by grants to community funding from the Southern Downs Regional Council. Last week’s rain event had a major impact on sporting events across the Southern Downs at the weekend.

It was all hands on deck to clean up debris around the Warwick Hockey fields as soon as the flood water subsided. when things begin to dry out the damage to the oval surface will not be too great. Once the water receded a small army of volunteers got to work. The flooring in the club house has been taken up and the gurney’s were hard at work clearing the mud inside and out. This weekend the Cowboys home game against the Oakey bears has been transferred to Oakey. The team will be hoping to pick up where they left off after a last game win over Dalby. The Warwick Water Rats fields also fell victim to the flood but with only minimal water in the clubhouse is ship shape after a good clean and plenty of bleach. The Warwick football fields also copped a drenching from the flood water while the Warwick Hockey Association are counting their blessings after the levee banks and sandbagging saved the field from devastation. Once again, an army of volunteers was on hand to clear away debris once the water subsided. Junior rugby league clubs, Collegians and Eastern suburbs also went under and again thanks to the efforts of volunteers a great deal of damage was avoided with equipment shifted to higher ground. Words cannot express how thankful we are as a club to have had so many volunteers show up and help return the clubhouse back to normal. To every person who helped in the early hours on Friday morning to lift equipment to higher ground and to every person who helped clear out the mud today- Thankyou. Many hands made light work today but kids being kids while the adults worked to clean out the mud the kids enjoyed a slip and slide.

SOUTHERN DOWNS CYCLISTS SUCCESS

CLEAN UP FOR COWBOYS AND OTHERS

Several Southern Downs cyclists having been flying the Cycling flag with success in some serious comepitition. At the recent 2022 UCE Auscycle State Masters Track Championships at Anna Meares Velodrome in Brisbane. Stanthorpe cyclist, Adrian Tillin won Bronze in the MAS6 Individual pursuit and Gold in the Points race. Warwick rider John Eder won Gold in the MAS5 Time Trial, Sprint and Kerin ; while another Warwick rider, Robert Partington won Silver in the Time Trial, Sprint and Individual pursuit and Gold in the Scratch race, Points race and Omnium. Not a bad haul.

The Warwick Cowboys clubhouse and the Fr Ranger Oval was one of a number of sporting facilities affected by last weekend’s flooding. Club Secretary Candyce Grew said around 800mls of flood water spread into the Cowboys house club. Fortunately, there were plenty of hands-on deck as the threat of flooding became a reality and a lot of things in the clubhouse were able to be moved to higher ground. While the damage was nothing like 2011 there has been quite a lot of damage to the clubhouse interior while the fencing around the oval has also been damaged. It is hoped that

WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

spinsft@gmail.com To put some of this into perspective for the uninitiated, the Time Trial is a standing start from a time-controlled start gate and is two laps of the velodrome (500 meters). The Individual Pursuit is an endurance event; also, a standing start and riders are on the track with another competitor on the other side of the track. The distance for these competitors based on age was over two kilometres. The individual pursuit is very intense and hard to get right. Sprints start with qualifying, and it is called the flying 200. Riders are given three laps to wind up to speed with the last 200 meters timed and sprint order is based on the outcome of the flying 200. After that there are match sprints over three laps and best of three to decide the winner. The Kerin is a another exciting and very fast event with competitors lining up on the track and a motor bike used to pace riders up to speed in three laps. At around 50kph the motor bike swings off and the competition have three 3 laps to the finish. Speeds on the last lap can exceed 70kph. The Scratch race is another endurance event. More like a road race but usually at a lot higher average speed. The Points race is similar but has sprint points every ten laps and the rider with the highest points wins. The Omnium is also an endurance with four races to decide the winner. Points are accumulated based on a finishing place in each race. The races which make up the Omnium are Tempo, Elimination, Scratch and Points races. The Auscycle 2022 Masters Track Nationals was also held at Anna Meares Velodrome recently. Local riders again had success in the competition. John Eder riding in the MAS5 category placed fifth in the Time Trial, fourth in the Sprint and Kerin and won Silver in the 135+ years Team sprints. Robert Partington rode in the MAS7 category and placed fifth in the Individual pursuit, fourth in the Sprints, won Bronze in the Time Trial, Silver in the Scratch race and Gold in the Points race (National champion) after taking a lap on the other riders. A number of local riders also completed the Tour de Brisbane recently. The Tour was held in Brisbane over closed roads with the opportunity to qualify for the world championships. Riders also had the chance to ride some of Brisbane’s iconic tunnels, busway, the Storey Bridge and the CBD all on closed roads which was something to savour as a cyclist. Thanks to Robert Partington for this report. We hope to hear much more of our cyclists in the future.

ALLMAN PARK TRAINING TRACK DAMAGED The Warwick Turf Club Is another sporting organization to feel the impact of this past week’s flooding. The sand training track at the Allman Park track is closed until further notice due to flood damage. Club secretary Kristen Doyle said when contacted officials from Racing Queensland had visited Warwick on Monday and inspected the damage to the track. Although there has been significant damage to the training track the situation is not as dire as in 2011. The running rail appears to have come through the event unscathed. The irrigation system and pumps were inundated and are yet to be inspected. It is anticipated that there will be quite a bit of damage in that area. The grass track is still very waterlogged, but club officials are hoping ithas not suffered too much damage. Like many other places on the Southern Downs especially those close to the Condamine there will be plenty of debris to be cleared from the area. Local trainers of course will be severely impacted by the closure of the training track whoever it is hoped that they may be able to use the outside section of the grass track as it improves. The club has five weeks until the running of the big Warwick Picnic Meeting and with all hands-on deck and the hope of some fund-

NOT EVEN THE DUCKS WERE KEEN After the extremely wet weather in Stanthorpe last week, it is no surprise that there was very little happening on the Stanthorpe Golf Course last weekend. A week of heavy rain finally took its toll forcing the decision to close up shop and let the waters recede. Only the resident ducks were able to get out on the fairways and many of them were not keen to venture out. Following a decision made on Friday golf carts will not be allowed back on to the course until further notice. A sensible decision – some maintained it was an excellent idea and would save the coast guard rescuing stranded golfers. For the more devout golfer, there was the option of playing social golf sans golf cart but only a few bodies appeared to take up this offer and not until much later o the weekend. The scheduled competition on Saturday, the May monthly medal and putting comp has been transferred to this weekend and will be played on Saturday. Of course, this will depend on the condition of the playing surface. The first two rounds of the club championships which were to be played last weekend were also impacted. A decision was made to hold the event later in the year with a date sometime in August looking like the preferred date. The Sunday round of Stanthorpe also feel foul of the conditions. There was no competition on Sunday morning although I did hear that a few hardy souls ventured out for a ninehole wade around the paddock. There is no report as to how they fared however I expect as the SES have not become involved that the group must have managed to paddle their way back to the car park. All in all, it was a very disappointing weekend for Stanthorpe golfers. One which gave new meaning to that important advice “If it is flooded forget it.” Hopefully the course will have the opportunity to dry out sufficiently throughout the week to allow competition to continue next

weekend when there will be play in the rescheduled May monthly medal. There is a time sheet for the competition on the board at the club. Players are reminded that two tee hit off is ongoing. Play commences at the earlier winter tee off time of 11.00 am.

SUNDAY SHOOT UNAFFECTED The Southern Downs Rifle Association was one of the few sporting clubs able to hold their normal weekend competition last weekend. Numbers attending the Sunday shoot were again solid and there some excellent results in what was a very close competition. Only one point separated the first six placings in the Open class. Pratten visitor, Mark Paroz narrowly edged out Neil Sexton to win the event. In standard class Geoff Volmerhause is another shooter on the improve while Bob Abood is shooting well in the target rifle class. Results F Class 500 yard Open :- Mark Paroz (125.14); Neil Sexton (125.12); Raj Mohan (125.12); Greg Wilson (125.10); Richard McKillop (124.13); Kevin Jones (124.11); Murray Reck (121.7); Bruce McAllan (120.7); Dave Taylor (119.4); Margaret Taylor (118.6). 500 yard Standard :- Geoff Volmerhause (109.4) 500 yard Target rifle :- Bob Abood (104.10) This Sunday members of the club will gather at the 600 yard mound for the weekly competition. Sign on at 8.30 am and competition gets underway at 9am. All Shooters are advised that the DDDRA prize shoot which was to go ahead at the Risdon Range on 21/22 May has been deferred until further notice. Further information will be published as details come to hand. More detailed information regarding the Southern Downs Rifle Club or any of the upcoming events please contact Margaret (07 4666 1018). She will be happy to assist.

WINS FOR TIGERS AND ROOSTERS While most sport was cancelled last weekend the second round of the Border Rivers competition went ahead as planned. Rugby League returned to Reg Saunders Oval at Texas and a big crowd was on hand to support the Terriers in their game against the Tigers. Although the spirit was willing the Terriers were kept well on the leash by the Tigers. The score line at full time 16-2 in Tenterfield’s favour. Tenterfield scoring four unanswered tries with a double from Wes Smith and tries to Jarrod McIntosh and Jayden Mediero. The Terriers only points coming from a successful penalty conversion. Inglewood proved too strong for Stanthorpe in their game at Macintyre Sports reserve. The Roosters ran in seven tries. Centre Brady Zahner scored three; veteran Brent Hearne showed he has lost none of his class crossing for a double while Kaide Elder and Shane Hooper grabbed a try each. Mitchell Stafford kicked four from seven conversions. The Gremlins 10 points all came from half back Jake Burnell. He crossed for two tries and kicked one conversion. In the league tag games played at each venue, Tenterfield scored a runway 56-4 win while the Gremlins ladies upset the Roosters 12-8.

A KID CALLED SIMMO Andrew Symonds was a kid when I met him, still in his mid to late teens - I’d come to score cricket for the young Gold Coast Club - fourths and then later four seasons as scorer manager for seconds. I had the book for fourths on the Gold Coast when calls came through from Wynnum Manly that he and Matthew Mott (now the Aussie women’s coach) were taking the homeside apart - 449 between the two of

I think it was that day the whole club, which had been struggling to find its feet, kind of grew up. It was fitting too that it was Motty and Simmo - they and their families worked hard for our club. I can’t think back to those days without seeing a proud Ken Symonds telling me how his son and the team had gone every time firsts came back from a game. On the field, Andrew Symonds was something special even back then, off he was Simmo one of the boys in a closeknit playing group. He was also talented hockey player, playing for Palm Beach Allstars in the Tweed Border Competition and probably could have gone all the way in that sport but thankfully for all of his fans, the GC Dolphins he chose cricket.
