Covid testing on the move

Netball’s courting windfall

Covid-19 testing has moved location at the Stanthorpe Hospital and is no longer available at the McGregor Terrace entrance. The new testing site will be open from Monday 7 February, via the Day Street entrance and is available seven days a week from 12.30pm – 2.30pm. No bookings are required. Darling Downs Health stated: “Testing helps us to quickly find as many cases in the community as possible. This helps us to do everything we can to reduce the spread of Covid-19 in the community.” More on page 3

Four new multi-purpose netball courts have been constructed at Stanthorpe’s McGregor Park. Federal Maranoa MP David Littleproud joined an energised netball community at the park last week to officially open the new facility, which replaces unsafe courts that have been unusable for the past two years.

Classes back Students returned to in-person learning on Monday after a two-week delay to the start of the school year. Education Minister Grace Grace said at Monday’s press conference that 870,000 Queensland students across the government and non-government sector returned to school. “It’s been a very successful delay, we’ve had many parents who have said it’s enabled their children to get vaccinated – particularly the five to 11-year-olds,” Ms Grace said. More on page 5

Check-in is out at places like shops and taxis, but people will still need to show their vaccination status to enter certain venues. People visiting pubs, clubs, cafes and restaurants will still need to check in, and those who are unvaccinated will still not be allowed in.

Ms D’Ath stated in the Monday 7 February press conference that services like taxis and rideshares, as well as retail supermarkets, hairdressers, beauty therapy facilities, gyms, indoor play centres, real estate agencies, auction houses, and more, will no longer require check-ins.

“All of those areas will no longer need to, and any part of government buildings or services where the public ordinarily have access to, will not need to check in now.” Full story, page 4

I’m sitting at my desk and I can’t think of anything I’m really annoyed about. This might be a first. Like in my whole life. I’m a remarkably opinionated person. I know, you never would have guessed that. You know what I’m sad about though? The lack of events we’ve attended this year. I know it might seem hard to believe from my weekly rants, but I’ve always been a bit shy and attending events was something I thought I might actually struggle with as a journalist. But I found I just really love getting out amongst our community. Maybe it’s you, maybe you’re all just remarkably delightful. I know I didn’t enjoy attending events for the university paper half as much. I’ve really missed the small community events we normally get to attend which have unfortunately been cancelled recently due to the Omicron wave. So please, always let us know when there’s an event we might be able to attend and cover. It’s one of the great joys of the job. I know we have a couple we’ll hopefully attend this weekend, but we always appreciate a call or email letting us know when something is going on. We’d also love to hear your thoughts on the recent Southern Living edition. Emily and I are very proud of the new edition, which was inserted in last week’s paper but will also be around town for the next few weeks. Previously the magazine was looked after by another journalist, with a couple of contributions from our journalists, but we’ve brought it back in-house this year. We’re full of passion and ideas for the magazine, and hope you will love it as much as we do. This month’s edition contains more recipes and a bigger entertainment section than previous editions, and also contains one of my favourite stories I’ve covered so far in the region, focusing on Percy’s Fruit and the recent changes happening there. We’re committing to having the magazine belong to the community just like our paper does, and would love your ideas and contributions.

Granite Belts water CEO L Taylor mentions, in a well-balanced article in Stanthorpe Today 9/12/21: “Based on the dam’s storage of 12,000 ML, the dam (Emu Swamp) would have filled 8.7 times, which is effectively 27 years’ worth of water if the entire annual water allocation of 3,900 ML was used”. Reading between the lines what Mr Taylor is really saying, the dam is too small to effectively store that amount of water, and that the dam would have to hold 105,300 ML. The size of Emu Swamp cannot be increased. It is also general knowledge that there are sites in the district that can hold that amount of water and more. Incidentally the 2011 flood would have filled the imaginary Emu Swamp dam about nine times but as it holds so little it would have been well and truly empty by 2021, the same would apply to the massive flood of 1976 - enough water went down the river to have filled Emu Swamp possible 17 times, the amount of water that goes downstream is irrelevant, it is the amount that can be stored that is crucial. Nobody imagines because Storm King dam overflowed 8.7 times its volume that we have 27 years of water or do they! Previous councils looked at raising the wall of Storm King dam or building a new dam behind the sawmill, if only just one of these op-

Commending Leanne Manwaring This is to commend Leanne Manwaring from Warwick’s Curves gym for the article last week where she shared her story with such honesty and open-heartedness. Through the tragic loss of her son and then the pain of divorce she had a great burden of grief to carry. The article quoted her as saying: “I was overweight, depressed, and not doing very well at life although most people who knew me did not know that.” This will resonate with many people. Good on you, Leanne, for showing how regular, moderate exercise in a happy and inclusive environment can improve our mental health and help us all face the dramas that life dishes out. B. W. Willmer, Emu Vale

tions were acted on Stanthorpe would have a secure water supply for decades. It would be an interesting exercise to see how many dollars various councils have spent/ wasted on the Emu Swamp site. I feel tax payers’ dollars would have been better spent on raising the wall on Storm King dam. John Salata, Glen Aplin

Twisted Gum’s twist of fate By Emily-Rose Toohey Twisted Gum Wines announced that it will temporarily close its doors to the public last Thursday. The local winery is owned by Tim and Michelle Coelli, and the former said they will reopen at Easter. “We’d like to stay open, but sales have been good,” Tim said. “We’re running very low on stock; we’re just about sold out.” However, Tim said that the couple have held back a number of wines for the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival in late February. “Apple and Grape is very important for the district,” he said.

“We committed a number of months ago.” Although Covid-19 has been the cause of other business closures in the area, Tim said Twisted Gum Wines have not been impacted by the pandemic. “Due to us being a small business, we’re not facing the same constraints compared to other wineries – similar to other predominantly smaller wineries,” he said. “Us closing is a combination of good production and sales – it’s not new, it’s the same as last year.” Nonetheless, Tim said himself and Michelle will begin to harvest whites in mid to late February to prepare for their Easter reopening. The decision was first announced via the winery’s Facebook post.

an invaluable experience that she would take into her work as an intern at Cairns Hospital this year. “I was greeted with a warm welcome not only at the hospital, but also by the residents of the town,” she said. “I had the opportunity to actively participate in morning ward rounds as well as assist in any surgeries or births happening in the same day. This unique blend of medicine over the course of a single day highlighted the extensive skill set that rural generalists possess and has inspired me for the future. “Studying medicine at JCU has given us the opportunity to do placements all over Queensland in a wide variety of settings, equipping us with the necessary skillsets upon which to build our careers. I’m excited to now start my career as a doctor in my hometown of Cairns.” Professor Sarah Larkins, Dean, JCU College of Medicine and Dentistry, said JCU was proud to train doctors “from, in, with, and for rural, regional and remote communities”. “Around 70 per cent of our students come from rural, regional or remote backgrounds, three-quarters of JCU medicine graduates ‘go rural’ after graduation, and almost half of our graduates are now generalist practitioners, far more than any other university in the country,” Professor Larkins said. She said despite the graduating class of JCU making up just 2.4 per cent of the national output of doctors, they make up around 50 per cent of rural, regional and remote doctors in Queensland.

Test shift

Dr Eva Gueorguiev and Dr Kathryn Sutcliffe, both James Cook University medical graduates, shone as trainee interns in their finalyear placements at Stanthorpe Hospital. Each impressed the hospital’s medical superintendent, Dr Daniel Halliday, and clinical pharmacist Kay Knight on their separate placements during 2021. Dr Halliday said Eva and Katie had set a high standard of expectation: “They are a credit to themselves, JCU’s education and training team and as ambassadors for JCU.” Ms Knight, a Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service research ambassador, said: “They will both make wonderful doctors and have fitted in so well here in Stanthorpe.” Dr Sutcliffe said she was welcomed to Stanthorpe Hospital so warmly and enjoyed her time so thoroughly that she applied to go back for a 12-week rotation in her intern year. “The beauty of rural hospitals is that medical students and junior doctors have unbridled access to SMOs or consultants for guidance, mentorship and teaching,” she said. “This was no different at Stanthorpe. I was privileged to attend early morning teaching sessions and be taught amazing skills like shoulder aspirations and ultrasonography by senior, experienced doctors in Stanthorpe. “I also was able to enjoy the perks of the beautiful location by going to wineries and exploring the wilderness in winter, although I missed out on seeing any snow, sadly. I am really looking forward to experiencing Stanthorpe in the summer this year.” All JCU medical students do at least 20 weeks of rural placements during their degree as part of the JCU College of Medicine and Dentistry’s commitment to building a fit-for-purpose medical workforce for underserved communities in Queensland.

Some check-ins scrapped By Dominique Tassell It was announced on Monday 7 February that the check-in app will not be required at some businesses. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the state was “coming down off the peak”. The check-in app is now no longer required at places like shops and taxis, but people will still need to show their vaccination status to enter certain venues. People visiting pubs, clubs, cafes and restaurants will still need to check in, and those who are unvaccinated will still not be allowed in. Ms D’Ath stated in the Monday 7 February press conference that services like taxis and rideshares, as well as retail supermarkets, hairdressers, beauty therapy facilities, gyms, indoor play centres, real estate agencies, auction houses, and more, will no longer require check-ins. “All of those areas will no longer need to, and any part of government buildings or services where the public ordinarily have access to, will not need to check in now.” The Southern Downs region hit over 1000 cases of Covid-19 last week, and at the time of print sits at 1108 cases. Concerns have been raised over aged care residents and the high number of cases in these facilities. Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said last week that she was “very concerned” about the number of aged care residents who have not received a Covid-19 booster shot. “Too many aged care residents are passing away who had not been offered a booster.” She said she did not know how many facilities in the state had been visited for boosters. “The Commonwealth reports that currently 100 per cent of all facilities have been visited for vaccinations, but we don’t know how many have been visited for boosters and most importantly, how many residents overall have re-

ceived their booster,” she said. “I’m hearing from people who say they’re begging managers of aged care facilities to bring people in to vaccinate their loved ones for boosters.” Distribution of boosters to aged care homes is handled by the federal government, and Ms D’Ath said there is no specific data being released on this. She did state that only three-quarters of aged care residents have had their booster shot. “Is that a consent issue? Are they not telling families? Are they not planning ahead so that

families can ensure consent?” she said. “That’s not good enough to leave potentially a quarter of all residents vulnerable and atrisk and these numbers speak for themselves.” From February 21, the Novavax vaccine will also be provided in Queensland. Ms D’Ath stated that “there are discussions at the moment with the Commonwealth as to who will be provided with that Novavax”. “It is our preferred position that that will go to community pharmacies initially and to GPs, just as Moderna has now ... so that we can make this more business-as-usual as the vaccination program continues to roll out

across the state.” Dr Gerrard said he couldn’t be sure new strains of Covid-19 would reach Queensland, but that he was confident the state was well prepared for that scenario. “I’m a glass-half-full kind of person. I’m very heartened by the level of immunity that we now have in our community, but of course anything could happen,” he said. “These viruses mutate naturally ... they change, they alter, and the level of immunity to one particular strain will change over time. Whether that leads to a substantial substance secondary wave, we just don’t know.”

More than 3000 jabs administered at recent clinics By Dominique Tassell More than 3000 doses of Covid-19 vaccination were administered at the recent Darling Downs Health (DDH) vaccine clinics in the Southern Downs. A total of 3503 jabs were given at the Warwick and Stanthorpe clinics and 1678 vaccinations were administered at the DDH vaccine clinic held in Stanthorpe Civic Centre from Monday 31 January to Friday 4 February. Of those doses, 1596 were administered to adults. There were 60 first doses, 45 second doses, 1491 boosters administered, and 82 paediatric doses administered. The week prior, 1825 doses were administered at the DDH vaccine clinic held in Warwick Town Hall from 27 January to 30 January,

1687 adult doses were administered, with 45 of those being first doses, 56 being second doses, and 1586 being booster doses. 138 paediatric first doses were administered. With students returning to school on Monday 7 February, Chief Health Officer John Gerrard highlighted the importance of getting boosters. Dr Gerrard said last week he was not expecting to see an increase in children being hospitalised. “The bigger risk to the healthcare system from the schools opening is the parents and the grandparents that are being infected from a child,” he said. “So it is critically important that the parents get in, get vaccinated and the grandparents get that booster.”

Updates on Covid-19 cases in children are now being provided at the daily press conferences. On Tuesday 8 February, it was reported that 313 children between the age of five and 17 had tested positive for the virus in the last 24 hours and 11 of that age group were in the hospital. “Most of, if not all of these will be in hospital for a reason other than Covid. So if they have appendicitis and happened to test positive, they will be included in this data, but it will give us some idea of what impact the return of schools has had,” he said. “There’s been a substantial decline in the number of children infected In the last four weeks. “What level of immunity that we’ll have created in children as they go back to school

is yet to be seen but we fully expect it will be a rise in cases in the coming weeks, but it will be interesting to see what happens and we’ll be sharing that the data as it arrives with us.” At the same press conference, Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said the virus had also claimed the lives of 11 First Nations people since the border reopened, and 16,256 people had tested positive. “Now those 11 deaths obviously are tragic, but I’m pleased to see that we are not seeing a disproportionate number of First Nations people passing away from this virus at the current time, but we are still seeing low vaccination rates in some of our First Nations communities,” she said. Queensland has now hit its 90 per cent double dose milestone for those aged 16 and over.

Covid-19 by the numbers By Dominique Tassell

Queensland school students returned to in-person learning on Monday.

Back to the classroom By Emily-Rose Toohey Students returned to in-person learning on Monday after a two-week delay to the start of the school year. Education Minister Grace Grace said at Monday’s press conference that 870,000 Queensland students across the government and non-government sector returned to school. “It’s been a very successful delay, we’ve had many parents who have said it’s enabled their children to get vaccinated – particularly the five to 11-year-olds,” Ms Grace said. In accordance with the back to school Covid-safe guidelines announced last week, Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) will available at schools and masks are required. “However, if you’re sick, please don’t come to school,” Ms Grace said. “We will do all we can in these uncertain times to keep these schools as safe as possible.”

Despite these implemented safety measures, Queensland Education said it has seen a rise in home-schooling since the Covid-19 outbreak. A home education report said that 3411 primary and high school students were homeschooled in 2019, 4297 in 2020, and 5008 in 2021. The Department of Education’s Home Education Unit (HEU) oversees the home education registration and reporting process. However, the department said it has not finalised its 2022 home-schooling numbers. “So far, applications for the year foreshadow an increase, following a trend,” the Department of Education said. Regarding in-person learning, Ms Grace said that more than 98 per cent of education staff in Queensland are now fully vaccinated. “We will ensure over the next four weeks when we’re limiting movement, that we’ll keep an eye on our school communities – they’ll get the support that they need,” she said.

Reported cases of Covid-19 in the Southern Downs have increased by 121 in the last week, down from an increase of around 200 for the past two weeks. A total of 987 cases were reported in the region on Tuesday 1 February and at the time of print on Tuesday 8 February, 1108 cases were listed. Cases have gone up on average by around 17 cases per day, down from 27 in previous weeks. At the time of print on Tuesday 8 February, there are 462,701 total cases in Queensland with 5178 new cases reported. There were 12 deaths reported overnight, and 705 people are in hospital.

Council finances tabled By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) noted the financial report as of 31 December 2021 at the recent ordinary council meeting. The quarter one budget review was adopted at the council meeting held on 29 October 2021, with these figures reflected in the report. The report stated that depreciation expense is in line with expectations as per the quarter one review. “It should be noted that is significantly above the original budget due to a projected increase in the landfill restoration provision which was recognised at the quarter one review. This has made a significant contribution towards the budgeted operating deficit.” The report stated that wages expenses are above budget by 9.5 per cent or $1.2 million. “The biggest contributing factor is the capital wages budget is currently underspent by $3.7 million indicating a larger than expected proportion of wages has been costed to operational expenses.

“This will be monitored and may correct itself if the timing of capital works program moves towards more labour intensive projects.” The report also stated that material and services are lower than budget by 28.5 per cent. “This follows a pattern of lower actuals in the first half of the year, however, the variation is significant and needs to be investigated to identify any potential savings.” Revenue from capital grants is over budget by $7.8 million, according to the report. “Grant opportunities and the success rate

of applications are not always easy to predict. The timing and associated recognition of payments received. More detail will be provided at the next budget review.” The report also stated that interest income is higher than budget due to higher than expected cash balances. As of 31 December 2021, Council had $60.5m in cash at bank and investments. This amount is higher than the same time for all recent years. Capital works expenditure to 31 December 2021 is $13.4m which is 23.6 per cent of the adopted capital works budget of $57.03m. There are committed costs of $9.36 meaning $22.8m has been spent and committed, this represents 40% of the proposed budget. A staff member spoke in the meeting, stating that the quarter two budget review will come at the next meeting. “I can tell you there’s been about a $300,000 movement in the operating position, the wrong direction, and a fair bit of movement in the capital.” “It’s probably better presented at an information session,” he said.

He also said wages went up on the operating side but this was “more than offset” by wages not spent on capital projects. Councillor Andrew Gale stated that he was concerned by the low amount of completed or expenditure done on capital works. “And, I mean, I recently got a report from the roads alliance as well with Goondiwindi that there’s a similar sort of percentage there,” he stated. He questioned whether it was fairly common for capital works to be down. A staff member stated that this is “fairly normal for us”. “The most capital works we’ve ever done in a year is $32 million. And we budgeted $57 million. “And this year, it’s an identified problem. It’s something we want to address early on in the development of next year’s budget. And hopefully, get budget corrections done before the final quarter this year.” The motion was moved by Cr Ross Bartley and seconded by Cr Stephen Tancred.

In need of a furry friend? Pets need foster parents now By Emily-Rose Toohey Southern Downs Ark has experienced a decline in foster parent volunteers since the Covid-19 pandemic. Southern Downs Ark administrator Kate Keefe said that the organisation rescues pets and takes care of them before adoption, and is always busy as a result. “We take on pets when people change locations and care responsibilities change,” Kate said. Therefore, she said that the demand for volunteers is high. “Foster fails is a key reason,” Kate said.

“People can’t keep adopting the pets they foster, but it’s an understandable response.” She said another reason for dwindling volunteer numbers is elderly foster parents becoming less active. “It’s also people not satisfying the criteria, like having secure fencing.” February marks pet rescue month, and Petbarn Foundation Manager Janelle Bloxsom said she hopes this will encourage potential pet parents to adopt. “Each year post-Christmas, there is an increase of pet surrenders in shelters and

pounds,” Janelle said. “It’s an issue that results in a higher number of abandoned pets and therefore a rise in euthanasia rates.” Kate said Southern Downs Ark adopt 900 cats from the pound every year. “We get lots of people having to surrender their cats because they can’t afford the desexing cost.” “It’s very expensive – it costs $300. “We’re trying hard to get the National Desexing Network (NDN) – a low cost desexing program.”

Janelle said over 200,000 dogs are surrendered to shelters each year, and post-Christmas is peak time. “An estimated 44,000 healthy dogs are euthanised each year, and this number is expected to rise due to the increased rise of pet ownership during the pandemic,” she said. To increase volunteers at Southern Downs Ark, Kate said the charity is hosting an information session tonight at 5pm at the R.S.L. “Like any organisation, to survive we need new ideas because it gets stale,” she said.

Stanthorpe Show is offiicially going ahead on 23 and 23 of April.

Stanthorpe Show’s a go By Emily-Rose Toohey After weeks of decision-making, the Stanthorpe Show will officially go ahead on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 of April. Stanthorpe Agricultural Society president Brett Boatfield said the dates were confirmed after liaising with the Showman’s Guild, and was officially announced on 29 January. “Thanks to our supporters – it’s going to be a great one-off Autumn Show,” Brett said. Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) Mayor Vic Pennisi said this outcome is very positive. “It’s great that it’s still at a time when there’s some product out there that people can display and showcase,” Cr Pennisi said.

“A big component of the show is the fruit and vegetable displays, and they’ll still be around in April.” “Had the show been in the winter, you would’ve lost that aspect of it.” The Goombungee Show is occurring on 23 April, the same date as the Stanthorpe Show, meaning there is a schedule clash. However, Brett said he has been communicating with the Goombungee Show president to make both events possible on the same date. “It’s going to be good; we’re looking forward to it,” he said. Both Cr Pennisi and SDRC chief executive Dave Burges said they are supportive of the show’s new dates. “Well done to the Ag Society,” Mr Burges said.

Most projects ‘on track’ By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) noted the contents of the operational plan quarterly review at the recent ordinary council meeting, giving insight into the state of SDRC’s current projects. Of the 69 projects listed, 44 are “on track” and seven are complete. Two projects, the community grants program and UDF programs, are on hold. There are 14 projects identified as “not started yet”, including: The delivery of a RADF program An annual workforce survey A review of sewerage charges Review of parks bookings procedure and service level provided Review of facility hire procedure and service level provided Review of cemeteries services offerings for internments/funerals Two projects, completing 90 per cent of the capital works program and developing a 10year works department works plan, are listed as “needs attention”. The Local Government Act 2012 requires that council prepare and adopt an operational plan for each financial year. The Local Government Regulation 2012 also requires that council must make assessments of its progress towards implementing its operational plan at regular intervals of not more than three months and that it must discharge its responsibilities in a way that is consistent with the annual operational plan. Councillor Stephen Tancred asked in the meeting whether council was receiving updates on the Warwick Saleyards funding, which is listed as pending in the report. A staff member stated he expected the funding to be approved before the election. SDRC chief executive Dave Burges said, “I have followed up with Minister Littleproud’s

· · · · · ·

office and we’re still awaiting on that advice”. Councillor Tancred then asked about the item listed in the report as “development of a recreational camping strategy”. “I’m just wondering if that will be coming to council soon and whether it will come to council and then go out to community, or whether it will go to community and then come back to council?” A staff member stated that will be coming back to council to be discussed, stating they had been undertaking surveys at council’s camping sites throughout visitor periods. They stated those surveys would be collated and brought back to an information session. Councillor Tancred then asked about the item in the report titled “commence implementation of the events strategy”. He questioned whether the decision to transition from hands-on delivery of events to a “strategic oversight managerial role” would involve more or less staff. The chief executive clarified that this would not involve any staff. “We’re just currently looking at what we do in the events space and the large amount of resources it does take up. We believe a better model is that we educate and empower and

assist groups to run their events professionally and in a well manner, but not necessarily do the leg work, the hands-on leg work.” He stated that they have “fairly scarce resources” and are looking at where they can be best targeted. Councillor Tancred then asked about the Warwick dragway upgrade, and how sizeable the budget shortfall is. A staff member said they would have to take this on notice, while the chief executive stated that they are looking into whether they can receive more funding, and if they cannot it is his expectation that the scope of the project will be modified so that it comes under budget. He stated there are some aspects of the project, such as spectator facilities and access roads, that are flexible. Councillor Tancred next raised the council’s drought management program, asking whether the survey council is preparing could be brought to councillors first at a workshop prior to it going out to the community. A staff member stated that they can “absolutely,” do that. Councillor Tancred then asked about the urban design framework program. “We’re noting that the Killarney UDF will be

done with in the 2021/22 financial year. Given that we’re almost February and it’ll end in four months, that financial year, have we gone to market to find a consultant for that? And if we have, will we go soon? Because time is sort of running out here.” The chief executive stated that the Killarney UDF is budgeted to be done in the 21/22 financial year but “we do not have the resources to do that”. “The planning department is under extreme pressure, record numbers of applications and enquiries as well as that they are considerably short-staffed with staff turnover. “So it is physically not possible to achieve that by the end of June this year.” He stated the Killarney UDF will be done this calendar year, but not this financial year. “It is certainly my expectation that it will be done in the second half of this year,” he said. Councillor Tancred stated he thinks it a good idea to focus on “bread and butter” work first, but that the Killarney community should probably be alerted. The chief executive stated that Killarney was going to be the first stop for the connecting with council meeting, however this was reschedule due to Covid. He expects that Killarney will still be the first stop, and they will discuss the UDF with the community at that meeting. The other two UDFs being undertaken this financial year are in Dalveen and Pratten. When asked for an update on these projects, a council spokesperson stated that “Council is currently undertaking amenity seals in Pratten, which aligns with the roads identified for upgrades in the village’s UDF. “Work has been undertaken to identify high priority projects across all existing UDFs, including Pratten and Dalveen, in relation to the budget.” The motion was moved by Cr Tancred and seconded by Cr Ross Bartley.

Facelift for netball courts Four new multi-purpose netball courts have been constructed at Stanthorpe’s McGregor Park. Federal Maranoa MP David Littleproud joined an energised netball community at the park last week to officially open the new facility, which replaces unsafe courts that have been unusable for the past two years. “With a participation rate of over 1.2 million across the country, netball is a sport for all ages, abilities, backgrounds and genders and with these new courts, we have an opportunity for netball to again thrive in Stanthorpe,” Mr Littleproud said. “The opening of the new courts is about creating social connections through community sport, increasing youth participation rates, and expanding the social and lifestyle opportunities within the Granite Belt region, but the new facility also puts Stanthorpe back in the running to host larger sports carnivals.” Mr Littleproud highlighted how valuable sports tourism is to regional communities. “Whether it’s a netball carnival or a junior rugby league carnival it means visitor dollars are flowing into the local economy and making local businesses more buoyant,” he said. Four netball courts have been finished with an all-weather high-quality resin surface and an added flexibility surface treatment to meet Australian standards. The project, funded under the Federal Government’s $1.38 billion Building Better Regions Fund (BBRF), supported two jobs during construction. The Australian Government committed $150,850 and Stanthorpe Netball Association provided $45,000 towards the new facility. “BBRF is about creating jobs, driving economic growth, and building stronger regional communities,” Mr Littleproud said. “The Australian Government is investing in regional Australia to foster stronger regional communities like Stanthorpe, to ensure the nation’s prosperity continues in the future.”

Artists trek to Country Festival for busking champs Twelve-year-old musician Noah Robertson will make the 1200km trek from Airlie Beach to take his talent busking in the streets this month, joining a host of artists heading to Stanthorpe in a hope of a breakthrough in the music industry. Stanthorpe’s annual busking championships has earned a reputation for talent finding, with an outstanding record in discovering national busking champions and giving Queensland artists their break into the music industry. Stanthorpe’s CBD will be alive with busking vibes on Saturday 26 February when it again plays host to the South East Queensland Finals of the National Australian Busking Championships, coinciding with the first weekend of our famed Apple and Grape Harvest Festival. Young Noah has every reason to be hopeful when he and his proud parents Ali and Ro Robertson roll into Stanthorpe, returning as reigning 2021 Champion in the Junior Category. “Our buskers often get breakthroughs after appearing in Stanthorpe, like our 2021 runner-up Ollie Twohill who was picked up for his first gig booking at Gympie Muster,” said Busking in Stanthorpe organiser Perditta O’Connor. “Our homegrown Stanthorpe singer songwriters Nine Year Sister have gone on to bigger gigs since being chosen as our 2020 Winners and acts like The String Family and the Haystack Mountain Hermits credit full-time music careers to their breakthrough in Stanthorpe.” “Stanthorpe has discovered more than its fair share of Australian National Champion Buskers,” says Allan Spencer, President of the Australian National Busking Championships. “Four of the National Champions have come out of the Stanthorpe finals.” The National Championships were founded by Allan Spencer in Cooma, NSW in 2012 and Stanthorpe was the first town outside of Cooma to get involved in hosting regional finals. 10 TODAY Thursday, 10 February, 2022

“There is literally no limit to the potential for artists who make their start busking. I followed with excitement as ‘Tones and I’ make her break as finalist in the Noosa Busking Championships, which led to an invitation play at the Gympie Music Muster and from there she was picked up by Triple J and on to International success,” reflects Mr Spencer. Stanthorpe’s Busking Championships is one of the few busking events which has managed to dodge the cancellations which have plagued many events in the past couple of years. “Last year Stanthorpe was one of few busking competitions that went ahead and it’s great to see Stanthorpe again systems go for its 2022 busking,” said Mr Spencer. Airlie Beach’s up and coming talent, Noah may find his biggest challenge in Stanthorpe choosing which tunes to sing and play on his guitar, his mum Ali revealing how he worked

tirelessly to increase his repertoire last year. “In 2021 Noah set himself a personal challenge of learning 52 new songs in 52 weeks and uploading them to his Instagram @noahrobbo. Super proud of him completing this challenge without missing a week,” said the proud mum. The opportunities may be serious in Stanthorpe, but the vibes amongst both performers and coffee sipping onlookers is chilled, embracing the laid-back vibes of Queensland’s premier wine tourism town. Organiser Perditta O’Connor promises: “We’ve got the seriously talented, but we’ve got the seriously quirky too. ‘Free Radicals Reloaded’ will bring their upbeat Celtic style to the mix on the street and they are a real hoot. I don’t think any of them wear shoes and their music is so great in a quirky way.” The competition is open to everyone, from

primary school-aged performers to seasoned professionals. Solo singers and musicians, duos, trios and groups of any genre, and nonmusical street entertainers will compete for a share of $6500 in prize money over numerous categories including age categories, best band, judges’ awards and People’s Choice. Spectators can purchase busking tokens for $1 and vote for their favourites to help choose winner of the People’s Choice Award. Entertainment can be enjoyed from 9am to 2.30pm at 17 busking stations across Stanthorpe’s CBD, followed by the Finalists Concert from 2.45 pm. As part of the event’s Covid-safe plans, the concert has moved to an outdoor venue this year, with finalists to perform in the open-air Weeroona Park stage and onlookers are asked for just a gold coin donation. Travellers looking to make a weekend of it will find plenty to do on this first weekend of the 10-day Stanthorpe Apple and Grape Harvest Festival, including a street party, orchard open days, an Italian long lunch and seven open gardens.

Safety upgrades to begin Important safety works to upgrade Pratten’s road network are expected to commence on Monday 21 February 2022, weather permitting. Sections of Hope Street, Bugden Street, Lester Street, Elliot Street and Ross Street will be bitumen sealed as part of Southern Downs Regional Council’s ongoing commitment to providing safe roads for the community. The four-week project will operate under traffic-control arrangements and may cause minor delays for road users during construction. A council spokesperson said that the project team would endeavour to minimise disruptions where possible and urged the com-

munity to be cooperative and vigilant near the road works at all times. “The safety of road users and our team during construction is paramount and following the directions of on-site staff and signage will go a long way to keeping the site incident-free and completing the project within the expected time frame,” the spokesperson said. “Our on-site staff will help make sure local residents in the area still have access to and from their properties. “Council appreciates the community’s cooperation and patience during construction.” Standard construction hours will be between 6.30am and 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

SDRC signs off on lease for Allora Show Society Inc. By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) approved a lease to the Allora Show Society Inc. at the recent ordinary council meeting. The lease applied to Lot 1 on SP302786 in accordance with the council lease policy and Section 236 of the Local Government Regulation 2012. The motion also delegated authority to the chief executive to negotiate and finalise the terms of the lease with the Allora Show Society. The Allora Show Society has a trustee lease over the reserve for showgrounds, which commenced in July 2018 and expires in June 2028. Council purchased the freehold land in 2009 for $280,000 primarily for it to be used in conjunction with the adjoining reserve for showgrounds.

The freehold land was originally in three separate parcels described as Lot 21, 22 and 23 on A219 which has now been amalgamated into one parcel being 5.357 hectares. A lease was granted to the Allora Show Society over the freehold land in July 2009 and expired in June 2018. There has been no formal tenure over the land since the expiry of the lease. The annual rental was calculated at a commercial rate to be reviewed annually by CPI. A report was presented to SDRC for consideration on 24 March 2021 regarding the lease of the freehold land. Council resolved to offer a joint lease of the freehold land to the Allora Show Society, Allora and District Campdraft Association Inc. (Campdraft Association) and the Allora Heritage Weekend Association Inc. The lease was to be offered as a commercial lease in line with the previous tenure.

In the meeting, a staff member noted that a meeting couldn’t be made with all three groups and that Allora Show Society then indicated to SDRC they didn’t really want a joint lease. The Heritage Weekend Association has confirmed they do not want to be involved in the joint lease arrangement and were satisfied with the existing arrangement to hire the facility for events as required. The Allora Show Society Executive Committee has also changed to include a member of the Campdraft Association so their interests are catered to. SDRC will receive an annual income of $223.74 including GST for a community lease over the freehold land adjoining the Allora Showgrounds in accordance with the Council Lease Policy. The motion was moved Cr Marco Gliori and seconded by Cr Stephen Tancred.

Green light for Maroons

Stanthorpe 150 updates acknowledged by SDRC By Dominique Tassell

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) approved a request for financial and in-kind support from the Queensland Rugby League (QRL) at the recent ordinary council meeting. QRL will hold a Queensland Maroons Regional Fan Day in Warwick from 5 to 6 July 2022, with the event funded within SDRC’s 2022/22 operational budget. Councillor Jo McNally questioned in the meeting where exactly the funding was coming from, and whether it was the same “bucket of money” as the community grants funding. SDRC chief executive Dave Burges stated this would be up to SDRC, and they would make provisions in the upcoming budget. Councillor McNally stated the recommendation in the agenda needed to change to state this would come out of the 2022/23 budget. Councillor Stephen Tancred noted that in the correspondence from QRL, “they’re talking about food trucks, sausage sizzles et cetera local music, entertainment”. “I’m just wondering whether it’s usual to have commercial ventures provide those services or whether we can look to value add and have community groups provide those services?” A staff member said they would come back with information on this. Councillor Tancred also questioned whether the proceeds from events such as an evening reception dinner and auction could possibly be amended to go to the entire region instead of just Warwick. A staff member stated this has been

changed to be rugby league in the Southern Downs region. Councillor Tancred also raised questions about the Wednesday coaching clinic listed in the correspondence, asking how far students would be brought in for that event. A staff member stated this could extend to areas like Goondiwindi and Texas. “It’s a wide region we’re looking at drawing on.” He stated they were really trying to maximise the event. Councillor Tancred stated that, in light of this, he would “hate to see someone outside of Southern Downs benefiting from that if our Council is supporting this”. A staff member said they would talk to QRL. The motion was moved Cr Marco Gliori and seconded Cr Tancred, with Cr Gliori raising that as this event will occur during school holidays this may affect buses.

Updates on Stanthorpe 150 celebrations were noted in a report at the first ordinary council meeting of the year. Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) noted the minutes of the Stanthorpe 150th Anniversary Celebration Advisory Committee (S150ACAC) Meeting held on 11 January 2022. SDRC also endorsed the S150ACAC recommendation that SDRC consider the use of the SDRC billboards situated at the northern and southern entrances to Stanthorpe to market the S150 anniversary celebrations. There is currently a budget allocation of $20,000 for S150 activities. However, this budget allocation also needs to cover costs associated with council’s own S150 event. The economic development unit has a budget allocation and plans for re-skinning of the billboards for regional promotion in the 2021/2022 financial year. In the meeting minutes, it was stated that Mary Findlay referred to the discussion about having an event at the Stanthorpe Railway Station as a formal reenactment and noted the importance of the whistle stop building which is of the period. SDRC Mayor Vic Pennisi confirmed that council officers are looking into doing a reenactment. It was noted that Stanthorpe Little Theatre has discussed having a “living museum” that would incorporate the Proclamation of Stanthorpe (by the Mayor) and the inclusion ofcouncillors woven into the event.

It was also noted that a promising proposal to a public art project had been received, and discussions were underway with the artist. Another committee member noted they would like to receive more applications. Regarding other events, it was noted that many groups may be hesitant to confirm any plans due to Covid-19. It was also noted that the Governor of Queensland has committed to attending the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival Ball and Grand Parade. The Governor and Queensland Surveyor-General were also discussed as possibly needing an invite. A week-long festival is being proposed from 13 to 22 May 2022, though this is not confirmed.

Stanthorpe of old: 1877 Stanthorpe’s great ‘tin rush’ Research librarian Christina Ealing-Godbold wrote a piece for the State Library of Queensland about the tin rush to Stanthorpe. She wrote that “the 1870s saw a great rush to mine alluvial tin at Quart Pot Creek”. Tin is almost always found closely allied to the granite from which it originates, hence the discovery of tin in the Granite Belt region of Queensland’s Southern Downs (Ealing-Godbold, 2014). The tin miners came from many different backgrounds, including Chinese. Tin mining began in Queensland’s north, around Mt Garnet and the Palmer River, but when substantial deposits were discovered near Stanthorpe, a stampede of European and Asian miners made their way south. However, it was a story of ups and downs. The Warwick Examiner reported in February 1872, “There is a great stampede to the district, parties on horseback, as well as large numbers on foot, with swags before them”. A 17 February 1877 edition of The Border Post, titled ‘The Stanthorpe Tin Mines’, recalls the water scarcity during this period. The following is an excerpt: “The Border Post of the 2nd instant, reports more favourably of these mines than it has been able to do for some months past. The result of the late rain, says our contemporary, has been the general resumption of operations throughout the field, and although in many cases the supply of water is not equal to the demand, all have more or less benefitted, and the serious consequences of so protracted a drought have been materially alleviated by the opportune pluvial visitation. As usual, the New South Wales side of the border appears to have come for the greatest share of rain, and we are informed that the various mines in the Herding Yard district have been more than amply supplied. Such is not the case on the various watercourses from the Main Range on the Queensland side, and we have not the least doubt but that a week’s hot, dry weather, such as that experienced since the cessation of the rains, will reduce the supply obtained to extreme scarcity again. It is to be hoped, however, now that the ground is well saturated, that occasional showers may replenish our supplies. The Wheal Edith is still on tribute to a party of Chinamen. They have during the drought been enabled, by means of an engine, to obtain sufficient water to continue operations on a comparatively small scale. The supply is now, however, sufficient to obviate this. The yield is poor at present, averaging about three tons a fortnight. 14 TODAY Thursday, 10 February, 2022

Tin miners near Stanthorpe, ca. 1872. Three faces on the main creek are in progress, and the surface workings, which have continued in operation during the dry weather by the use of pumping machinery, are now partly supplied by the surplus water coming down the race. In the lower creek workings, the face is now being carried in towards the creek bed, instead of onto the embankment, and the stripping is comparatively light, from five to six feet. In the middle – or main face – the run appears to have taken a turn into the embankment, in consequence of which the workings are necessarily widening out, and stripping deepening, being in this portion about 20 feet. The top face still proceeds downwards, with little alteration in depth or richness, being about 14 or 15 feet. The yield for the past four weeks has been 64 tons, and the prospects continue equally good. The Victor has been let on tribute to Mr J. Oarmichael, and operations have been considerably extended, though the scarcity of water has naturally impeded the work to no small degree. A good supply has not, however, been procured, and the holder seems determined to make the most of it.”

STANTHORPE TURNS 150 1878

Cobb and Co. Mail arrives at Groom’s Hotel Stanthorpe (1873) the hotel later becoming the site of the post office and telegraph station.

In 1885, the new post office was erected, but subsequently moved back for the residence when the new post office was erected in 1901.

The postal boom of 1878 Communication There’s a timeline between 1872 and 1897 of the increased postal services and offices in the region. This change was brought about by a population rise in Stanthorpe. 1878 brought two more extended coach mail services and a post office to Pikedale Homestead. The manager, Mr Donald Gunn, acted as unpaid PM. In 1880, the post office was moved from Pikedale Homestead to Pikedale Road and the new office was put in the charge of Mr Cussen. The same year a post office at Pikedake Reefs in the far north-west of the district’s newly found gold fields was opened. The office was attached to the Eureka Hotel, in the Machine Township and the proprietor Mr E. Lynch was postmaster for one month, followed by Mr J. Stanley. It is interesting to note that Mr Donald Gunn in ‘Links with the Past’ refers to helping his mother in the Pikedale homestead store, selling rations to travellers. Some possessed gold from the north-west of the Stanthorpe district, which they exchanged for rations. This shows that some knew of its whereabouts long before the beginnings of the 1878 gold rush to the area. Prior to this, historians Jean Harslett and Mervyn Royle wrote that the Granite Belt public desired an effective communication system. The following is an excerpt from their book, ‘They Came to a Plateau (1980)’. Within the text, it really highlights the immense, centuries long gender pay imbalance experienced by women in the workforce: “From 10th June 1872 mail was distributed from an annex to Mr Henry George’s store and Mr George appointed as postmaster. However, it is said that his handsome wife officiated. Mr George’s store was situated off Maryland Street and below Central Hotel next door to Sheahan’s Butchery. By November the dissatisfaction of the residents was still apparent. It was stated in the Courier, “the post office is a ‘miserable shed’ attached to George’s Store, but is quite in proportion to the ‘miserable salary’ of the postmaster. This is simply disgraceful to a government, every member whom must be aware of the large amount of correspondence, which passes through Stanthorpe.” Thomas Murray Prior reports to parliament in 1972, with regard to Stanthorpe that “owing to the impetus give to trade by mineral discoveries, and the settlement of populations, in localities here-to-fore uninhabited, consider-

Mail Coach pauses for a change of horses, and passengers alight for lunch at the fox home at Boonoo Boonoo. able additions have to be made to mail communications and services.” This is substantiated by figures of letters received and dispatched nun 1872: 8004 and 9250, respectively, increasing in 1873 to 31,456 and 35,930, respectively. Money order facilitates were provided in July 1872. Mr George carried on until 1 March 1873 when the office was moved and elevated to official status with Mr T.S. Henzell as postmaster. With greater responsibilities developing from additional office work, the salary was increased to 250 pounds per annum. Mr John Bradford the Mr Jonas Ward and Mr Trevor Llewellyn were assistant clerks. The Government Gazettes of January 1873 showed the site of the post office reserve to be No. 20 Section 3, which was on the corner of Locke Street, at the entrance to the park. In April 1873, complaints were being made that the post office was in an out of the way part of town. By November 1873, the new post office was opened with plans for a savings bank business added by the end of the year, shortly to be housed in the premises at Groom’s Hotel. In March 1978, Mr T.L. O’Mahoney became postmaster and in July 1883 his wife Mrs O’Mahoney became postmistress, and, as was the order of the day, her salary was reduced by

Mr Henry George’s Store (right). He opened a post office in an annex on 10 June 1872, situated off Maryland Street below Sheahan’s Hotel, near the site of the Civic Centre. half for a lady employee. Mrs O’Mahoney was associated with the Stanthorpe Post Office for nearly 20 years and was respected for her courtesy and efficiency. Indicative of the esteem in which she was held, when her cousin Lord Lamington (Governor of Queensland) visited Stanthorpe, three major welcome arches were built and

spanned Maryland Street. Messrs Jim Wren, Dave Reid and Dave Petrie were largely responsible for their construction of green bush timber curved into arches and decorated with bracken fern, cypress pine and dozens of tree ferns from Rivertree.

1879: History of hostelry The Stanthorpe local government division was proclaimed in 1879 at a time when tin prices were fluctuating but deciduous fruit growing was found to be profitable. Prior to this, the 1870s saw a hotel business boom. “They Came to the Plateau” (1980) authors Jean Harslett and Mervyn Royle detail part of this boom below: History of hostelry “During the early nineteen hundreds, when Stanthorpe’s climate was being hailed at the ‘Sanitorium of Queensland’, hotels of high class were rebuilt to offer accommodation to please the most fastidious tourist or seeker of a salubrious summer climate. Mining was thirsty work and for those that liked it milder, 1872-73 saw the arrival of several cordial manufacturers, Spriggs and Higgins were first in this field of business. Quite soon Mr William George Clifford took over their business and the name of Clifford Cordials has stood the test of time. Up to the present day, the business has been carried on by the descendants of Wm. Clifford.

Mrs Mary Brown and Thomas Murray were others listed as cordial manufactures. Stables were usually associated with hotels and were “many and numerous”. Some names especially come to mind. Cobb & Co. had stables at the Four Mile and Wilson’s Downfall. H. Ashcroft Livery and Bait Stables, Stuart & Parkes, late J.P. Stuart opened business at the rear of Groom’s Hotel under the title of Pioneer Livery Stables. The Melbourne Livery Stables were run by R.T. Banbury, Carrigg’s Stables and Hartigans were known until comparatively recent times. In addition to the numerous hotels there were also six Boarding Houses. Surely few towns could have been better catered for in these lines of business. Much research has gone into the locating licenses and sites of Stanthorpe Hotels. In 1879, two Chinese Hotel keepers were listed though neither the location nor names of the hotels are listed, the proprietors, however, were James Foo Hang and Ah Gin.”

On to the border in 1880 On to the border By the end of 1880, the line to Cherry Gully had been completed and the line opened with Cherry Gully as a temporary terminus. There were two hotels, and numerous other business enterprises. In the first three weeks there were 278 tickets sold, and 391 inward passengers. The chief engineer paid tribute to the contractors for having completed the line only fives weeks behind contract date, in the face of somewhat exceptional difficulties. Within a few months Messrs Garget and Co. had pushed the line through to Stanthorpe and preparations were made for the opening of the line. There were, however, some unauthorised passengers before the line opened. Six boys aged between 10 and 14 years were charged with trespassing after they took a trolley a couple of miles down the line. The court’s sentence was a shilling fine or default six hours in the lockup. As befitted the terminus of the Southern Line there was an imposing set of buildings – passenger station, then on the eastern side of the line, a goods shed (built by John Garget & Co. at the cost of 570 pounds and 580 pounds, respectively) engine shed, carriage shed (built by A. Midson for a contract price of 290 pounds), stationmaster’s house (also built by A. Midson for 407 pounds) repairman’s cottage and gatekeeper’s cottage. The first train carrying the visitors departed from Toowoomba at a quarter to 8am on Tuesday morning, May 3 1881, and arrived in Stanthorpe at 1.30pm with more than 750 passengers.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK

MIDSOMER MURDERS ABC TV, Friday, 8.30pm

There are all sorts of players in detective dramas, from petty criminals, to untrustworthy relatives and dodgy businessmen. But when you’re searching for the most entertaining type of murder mystery character, it’s undoubtedly the psychic. This week, Midsomer Murders fans are probably inwardly tap-dancing in delight at the premise of the long-running series latest murder puzzle, “The Witches of Angel’s Rise”. Featuring psychics, occult followers and mediums, it has spooky covered. After a woman’s body is found surrounded by ritual symbols on the eve of a psychic fair, DCI Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon, pictured) and DS Winter (Nick Hendrix) are plunged into the spiritual world.

RUGBY LEAGUE Nine Network, Saturday, from 4pm

Footy fans can rejoice; the game is back with a triple header to kick-off the 2022 season. After the pandemic played havoc with fixtures and venues last year, Sydney is for the first time hosting the showpiece All Stars event, with a men’s contest, a women’s clash and even a touch football game. Live from CommBank Stadium, the Indigenous All Stars (including South Sydney playmaker Cody Walker, pictured right) will take on the Maori All Stars (featuring Penrith prop James Fisher-Harris, pictured left) in a lively match, with spectators sure to be fired up and in good spirits. The event will hopefully mark the start of a season that returns some semblance of normalcy to passionate fans across the country.

MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT Nine, Monday, 7.30pm

You vowed and declared that you wouldn’t be watching this latest series of melodramatic matrimony, but after one glimpse of the eye-catching cast your resolve miraculously dissolved like a wayward dose of botox. This season, the brides and grooms are as ambitious, outspoken and as game for a fight – and affair – as ever. It’s sassy, superfluous TV at its lowbrow best. Resident sex therapist Alessandra Rampolla’s (pictured) second-ever intimacy week begins with some couples blooming, while others struggle to connect, both physically and emotionally, with their partners. Whether you tune in for the slim chance of a love story, or the thrill of the petty squabbles and flirting, there’s almost something for everyone.

FRAMED SBS, Tuesday, 9.30pm

Sometimes, the truth really is much stranger than fiction. When awardwinning journalist, presenter and podcaster Marc Fennell (pictured) learnt about the infamous theft of Picasso’s Weeping Woman in 1986 from the National Gallery of Victoria, he was gobsmacked and, in true journalist style, needed to find out more. This four-part true-crime doco launched on SBS On Demand late last year and it’s plain to see why it has become their most successful digital series ever: it’s a largerthan-life riddle which is amazingly still yet to be solved. In tonight’s first episode, the bizarre art theft, complete with outlandish ransom notes, is given the fine-tooth comb treatment.

Endeavour delivers free rapid tests to employees Endeavour Foundation will give its 4000 staff free Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) in a bid to slow the spread of Covid-19 transmission and curb potential outbreaks in its disability services, they announced late last week. Each staff member working for the disability service provider and its subsidiaries will be given two RATs – either handed to them at work or sent to their home address. The initiative will cost in excess of $100,000. Endeavour Foundation chief executive David Swain said staff and the people they support could already be tested for free at the organisation’s services, but testing at home would greatly reduce the chance of transmission from staff who are positive. “We want to curb the transmission of this virus so we don’t see the outbreaks in disability services that we’ve been seeing in aged care,” Mr Swain said. “We’re asking staff with symptoms to test at home so if they are positive, they don’t come into work in the first place. “Stopping just one Covid-positive staff member from going to work could prevent people we support getting very ill or even dying. “The safety of the people we support and of our staff is our highest priority and we’re putting them first with this initiative.” Mr Swain said the move to protect both people supported by Endeavour Foundation and staff was made possible through the generosity of donors and supporters. “When you support Endeavour Foundation through our prize home lotteries, regular donations, or the Great Endeavour Rally, you are enabling us to improve the lives of people with a disability.

Get ready to hit the floor Endeavour Foundation chief executive David Swain. “We would not be able to fund this initiative if it was not for your support, so thank you,” he said.

A coming of age story By Emily-Rose Toohey Coming of age movies are an inescapable part of a person’s ‘growing up’ experience. Whether you saw the classic John Hughes films of the 80s or 2004’s quotable, extremely iconic Mean Girls, the teen genre has been around for years and depicted to every generation. The Fallout fits into this category. However, unlike a majority of its predecessors, the film showcases a particularly dark look into coming of age narrative and is a perfect encapsulation of 21st century angst. The Megan Park directed film was released on 26 January on Binge. It follows Vada, an American high school

student, as she deals with the aftermath of a school shooting. In Australia, this is a problem we very fortunately don’t have to worry about. But for the average US student, well, it’s very much a concern and happens a staggering amount of times every year. It’s a horrifying thought: imagine being concerned that one day at school, you could be killed? The film does an excellent job at conveying this angst in the capable hands of Disney Channel alumni, Jenna Ortega. She conveys the devastation expertly in an impressive performance for the young star onthe-rise.

Maddie Ziegler, another former child star, showcases an equally capable acting ability in the supporting role of Mia. In all honesty, this is not easy viewing – tissues are recommended. Park’s tender and insightful script and direction offer a look into the terrifying reality of school shootings, and how one person with a gun can, “mess up your life so hard”, to quote Vada directly. After watching the character’s downward spiral and eventual baby steps towards recovery, just as you think Vada’s moved on, she gets a mobile notification. It’s a news report. This news report says teenagers have died

during a school shooting – a different school shooting. The film ends with Vada’s desperate cries as the realisations sinks in: there will be constant reminders of her trauma. This reflective ending is what makes the movie. While it depicts one person’s story, Vada’s not alone in her experience. And that’s the terrifying truth. This reviewer highly recommends the film in order to experience what’s sure to become a generation defining piece of coming of age media. The Fallout is available on Binge and Foxtel for streaming.

Hand-in illegal firearms The Morrison Government has partnered with Crime Stoppers Australia for this year’s National Illicit Firearms Campaign, keeping Australians safe by removing illegal guns from the community. During the three-month campaign, a range of community engagement and promotional events in regional and metropolitan communities across Australia will encourage people to share what they know about illegal guns, and to safely surrender any they may have in their possession. Minister for Home Affairs Karen Andrews said the Morrison Government was committed to keeping Australians safe by stamping out gun violence in our communities. “Illegal guns are more likely to be used in crime, more likely to be defective or insecurely stored, and more likely to be involved in accidents. There is no excuse – indeed no legitimate reason – for anyone in Australia to have an illicit firearm,” Minister Andrews said. “Our message today is simple – if you have an illicit firearm, do the right thing; do the right thing by your friends, family, and community; do the right thing by yourself – hand it in. If you surrender it, you can do so without penalty. The alternative is a knock on your door from the police and the potential for se-

rious criminal penalties, including imprisonment.” Assistant Minister for Customs, Community Safety and Multicultural Affairs Jason Wood said the campaign will target illegal gun owners by encouraging families, friends and anybody else who may have information to speak up and share what they know with Crime Stoppers before it’s too late. “You may think you know a person well, but owners of illegal guns have not been subject to background checks and may not be on the

radar of police. “This year’s National Illegal Firearms Campaign is part of an increased push to encourage owners of illegal, unregistered and unwanted firearms, parts and accessories to hand them in to be registered or destroyed.” “With over 260,000 unregistered guns estimated to be in circulation in Australia, it is important for the community to step up and share information they know or suspect about an illegal gun.” “In the criminal underworld, the weapon of choice is an illegal firearm. In many cases, criminal gangs will target individuals who have illegal firearms to gain access to weapons,” Assistant Minister Wood said. Crime Stoppers Australia Chair, Dr Vince Hughes, said all Australians should consider how they would feel if they had information about an illegal gun that was then used to harm or kill someone. “Criminals often go to great lengths to obtain a firearm illegally and then conceal it from authorities, and it’s unlikely they would go to that effort unless they are prepared to use it,” Dr Hughes said. “With the Commonwealth Government, police services across the country and Crime

Stoppers working together on this campaign, you need to surrender that gun now or risk being reported by someone who has information about you.” “Australia is certainly not immune from the devastating impacts that come with having illegal firearms in the hands of criminals. We have seen the tragic loss of life and severe injuries that occur when people turn a blind eye and allow illegal firearms to remain in the community,” he said. “The demand for illegal firearms is driven by organised crime groups right through to low-level individual criminals, who want and use firearms to protect their interests and to commit violent acts.” “If you suspect that someone has an illegal gun, share what you know with Crime Stoppers before it is too late. Report safely without the need to say who you are, get involved, or put yourself at risk of harm.” To share information about an unregistered or illegal gun, contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or go online at crimestoppers.com.au/ illegalguns Further information, including the process to surrender a gun in each state or territory, is available at crimestoppers.com.au/firearmamnesty

A rare dining experience By Dominique Tassell Locals looking for an exceptional dining experience can find what they’re looking for at Rupert’s Bar & Grill in Warwick. The restaurant, situated next to Coachman’s Inn on 19 Wood Street, is open to the public as well as motel guests. A unique dining experience, it fills the otherwise empty spot of an intimate modern restaurant in Warwick. Head Chef, Darren Gibbs, started with the restaurant early last year. Darren has 34 years of experience and an impressive resume to boot. We sat down with him to talk about his experience and his vision for the restaurant. Darren started working as a chef when he was 16 years old and stated that he hated his first job working as an apprentice on Hamilton Island, but realised the art of cooking came naturally to him.

He says confidence is imperative as a chef, and that comes naturally to him. “I know what I’m doing in the kitchen.” His work at Queensland Cricket, where he was the Executive Chef for eight years, has left him able to take on pretty much anything in the kitchen. He’s cooked for prime ministers and ath-

letes and says working there was the best eight years of his life. For Darren, it’s important to identify what customers want. “Our menu is ever-changing,” he says. He wants to try new things but doesn’t believe in cooking food people don’t understand. On Wednesdays and Fridays, the restaurant gets in fresh fish for their fish of the day and every day they prioritise the quality of their ingredients. “Fresh seafood is important, and we get our meat from John Dee.” Darren says they kept the menu small to begin with, but now can do something for everyone. He can make meals for any sort of dietary requirement, noting he got plenty of experience catering to these in his past jobs. “It’s about making people happy,” he said. “People come here for an experience.”

Darren says he wants locals to be able to go to Rupert’s and relax with some quality food. “I’m very proud of what we’ve done here.” The restaurant is perfect for any kind of special occasion, or just a regular day you want to feel a little more special, but Darren says locals looking for somewhere to go on Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day will definitely find what they’re looking for at Rupert’s. On Valentine’s Day, the restaurant will be offering its regular menu as well as some special additions. Darren has organised two special entrees, two mains, and two desserts for the occasion. He’s also planning a special Mother’s Day brunch. Rupert’s Bar & Grill is open Tuesday to Saturday, with a happy hour from 5pm to 6pm. Public holidays may be excluded and it is best to contact the restaurant directly to confirm with them.

RURAL LINKS WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Rural Links This week on the farm By Judy Barnet, Ag Columnist A visit had been planned to meet up with friends Marnie and Alex at the Highfields Pioneer Village on Saturday. We were to go down Friday after work, stay at the village, then travel home Saturday afternoon. We left as planned and as we headed out of Warwick I said to Richie, “Did you look at the ‘97 LandCruiser I sent you the link for on Facebook?” We, well I to be more precise, had been wanting to get rid of the Patrol for a while as it was gutless when it came to towing. “Look at all the bells and whistles it has,” I said to him. Rock Sliders – I didn’t have a clue what they were. A supercharger – not much idea about that either. An old man emu two inch lift – a bit worried about my short fat legs climbing in here. And the whole car is sprayed in sandy taupe raptor liner – had to look this one up on Google. We could go and have a look tonight, stay in the big smoke and head up to Toowoomba early tomorrow morning? I think he knew that he wouldn’t get any peace until he agreed to sell the Nissan and buy a Toyota, and this LandCruiser at $16K was way less expensive than the later model Sahara I had previously mentioned at the Cheap Car Co. With a quick call to confirm that an 8pm inspection was amenable to the owner we changed track just past the Eight Mile and headed off to Bahrs Scrub. On inspection, Richie pronounced the vehicle to be very well maintained so we headed off to find a motel having agreed to take the beast for a test drive at 6.30am the next morning. Getting into the vehicle the next morning did indeed prove a challenge but I did eventually manage a very undignified clamber into the passenger seat. The supercharger emitted a fair bit of noise on the drive but other than that Richie declared the beast to handle well. We did stop into the Cheap Car Co. before heading up to Toowoomba where we found the salesman to be arrogant and disinterested, so after a quick look at the Sahara which looked like it had seen a bit of beach work I quickly decided that I would not be buying from such an arrogant individual. Richie called Matt, the LandCruiser owner, negotiated a price and sealed the deal. We are heading back to the big smoke to pick her up later this week. I did have to promise Richie I would be happy with this vehicle for the foreseeable future though! So if you see a headturning LandCruiser in Warwick with a short middle-aged lady climbing in by standing on a milk crate you will know who it is. Back to Toowoomba. We commenced on our tour of the Pioneer Village, warning Mar-

Firstly we checked out the Big Cow, one of my favourite displays, and then gradually worked our way up towards the shearing shed when along the way we spotted Ray Ashford (OAM), the manager (and founder) of the Pioneer Village. Ray kindly offered to show us a project he was working on which was the restoration of a Model T Ford Bus. Ford did not actually make a bus at this time - commercial chassis were not available in Ford until 1919. Prior to this, if die-hard Ford people wanted a truck they had to buy the Smith Form-a-Truck adaption kit. The Ford promotional brochure advised that a good man and a good apprentice could fit it in a day but I believe this was pretty hard to achieve. The Form-a-Truck kit would have comprised of a heavy axle for the back of the bus and a three speed transmission to go behind the original gearbox, so thus ending up with a six peed truck or bus. The Smith Motor Co in Chicago also made Smith motor cars as well as the form-a attachments for other trucks. In the mid-1920s cars were hard to sell after the war and not many commercial trucks were available before the 1930s so many of the cars were converted to trucks via the Form-A-Truck conversion. The bus Ray has built from little more than a chassis (no wheels or body) will be eventually used to ferry passengers on a tour of the village. It will carry approximately 18 adults or 24-30 children. Ray also showed us a reconstructed buried bridge more than 150 years old that was originally opposite where the information centre is located in James Street. A team of 20 archaeologists were present when the bridge was dug

up and they found an amazing array of stuff including the timber box culvert that directed the water away from the bridge – a very different technique than we use today. When unearthing the bridge another bridge was found beneath it. It was called a corduroy crossing bridge and was built by laying logs across ways, thought to have been from the mid1850s. When they dug that up they discovered the remains of yet another bridge that was dated to around the 1840s. Old bottles, bricks, shoes are on display dated pre-1860. Fredrick Stein was the builder of the bridge in 1861 and his wife opened it in 1862. Stein also designed the first town hall in Toowoomba and it was the first purpose-built building in Queensland. The Toowoomba Municipal Council was formed in 1860 and this was one of the first projects they commissioned. They also commissioned two brothers to clear the stumps from Ruthven Street. This took the brothers a whole year so you can imagine how heavily timbered Toowoomba was back then. As part of the bridge project, every item was numbered and photographed before it could be moved. The bridge was donated to the village by main roads who paid for it to be transported to the pioneer village. They appointed Ray to be the project manager and conducted regular inspections of the restoration work. Other displays at the Pioneer Village that originate from the Southern Downs include a seed grader donated by my neighbours, Lynton and Belinda Hollit. A working miniature train was recently purchased from a clearing sale at Killarney and also the Upper Forest Springs School. The Gore Railway Station complete with carriages and track also

resides at the village. Regarding Ray, I have never in my life met a man with so much historical knowledge, nor a man that can single-handedly rebuild a historic vehicle from little more than a pile of nuts and bolts, making and engineering most of the parts himself. He is also incredibly humble. I think this is what makes the village, which is run entirely by volunteers, work so well. Everyone is made to feel valued and a part of the family. The work the volunteers do is acknowledged and appreciated. I believe the village to be a world-class attraction. Most of you will know I have been volunteering at the village for around 20 years. Back at the farm, I am still not happy with the lambs. They just don’t look like they are “doing”. I collected more poo samples yesterday and posted them down to the Paraboss Lab at Armidale. My annual sale is in April so I really need to get them looking good for me to take photos and videos in the next few weeks. I am still struggling with the AI of the cows – no progress there yet. I will have to let them out of the paddock this week as they have eaten it right down, however, this means it will be even harder to detect them on heat and get them inseminated. The plan is to put them in the yards this weekend and apply hot cow patches on their backs – these have a paint bubble that bursts when they are mounted by a bull. I will need the quad bike to be working though if I am to have any chance of finding them, as they need to be checked twice a day. I am really proud of the calves. They are sleek and shiny and must be putting on at least 1kg per day. They are eating around 4kg of grain per day each They are way too big for the sheep scales so it is all guesswork as to what they weigh now. I have noticed a large number of dragonflies around lately. Some are a bright and vibrant orange, some more grey, but the ones that have really caught my eye are the gorgeous powder blue ones. They are not just down at the dam, I seem to see them everywhere. I haven’t yet succeeded in getting a good photo of one yet though. You will be pleased to know I have found a home for some of the ducklings after mentioning them last week, much to CJ’s disappointment as she is quite attached to them. I am dropping them off to a local Stanthorpe lady this weekend and buying a billy goat from her to boot! I am looking forward to having a beautiful Kalahari red buck. Sue crosses her Rangeland goats with Boers and Kalaharis but has a few full-bloods as well. Like me, Sue is taken with the Rangeland’s hardiness and ability to rear their kids without any problems. Unlike mine though, Sue’s goats are all quiet and well behaved. They are a real credit to her.

National Regenerative Agriculture Day 2022

Drought support Maranoa MP David Littleproud is encouraging rural residents to find out what support is available to them at Community Outreach Events coming soon to Wallangarra and Stanthorpe. The events will be held in Stanthorpe Civic Centre on Monday 21 February from 2pm to 6pm, and in Wallangarra School of the Arts Hall on Tuesday 22 February from 10am to 2pm. Organised and funded by the Federal Government’s National Recovery and Resilience Agency, and in partnership with Rotary Australia, the community outreach program is designed to provide support and advice to farmers and farm workers. Mr Littleproud said the events at Stanthorpe and Wallangarra will deliver a one stop shop for support services and information. “These events are a great opportunity for farmers, families and community members to catch up with friends and neighbours and find out what support is available,” he said. “The aim is to ensure our communities are given the right information, advice and options to prepare and recover from drought, flood and bushfire now and into the future.” Rotary will also be distributing $500 vouchers to drought-affected households and conducting community well-being activities. The National Recovery and Resilience

Agency works hand-in-hand with communities, all levels of government, charities and agricultural organisations to support farmers and rural and regional Australians living

through the immediate and longer-term effects of bushfire, drought and flood. For more information contact communityoutreach@recovery.gov.au

Love for tea By Jeremy Lister I really enjoy drinking tea. I know that it is a bit unusual for a 10-year-old to like tea, but because I’ll be 11 this month maybe it isn’t quite so unusual. I think I get the liking for tea from my dad because he has these giant cups of tea many times a day. The cup is like a litre so it’s good that the water restrictions are over, and he needs to have three tea bags in his cup so it is strong enough. He even has a giant cup in his office in Stanthorpe and one down at parliament too, so that he can have his tea down there. Everybody laughs at his tea bucket but it suits him. I like having my tea from a pot made with leaves because I think it tastes better that way. And I also like my tea to be a special occasion when I take plenty of time making it and drinking it in little tea cups and using a tea cosy to

keep the tea pot warm. I like how the tea looks orange when it comes out of the pot and into the cup. My favourite brands are Yorkshire Tea and Dilmah Tea. Dad showed me an old 1980s TV ad for Dilmah Tea on Youtube which had this singer called Kamahl in it which made us laugh. Dad only gets to drink tea from Bushells tea bags at work and he says that I’m spoilt for getting such nice tea. But I think if he wants to drink so much at once he needs to use the cheap version and not some special tea like mine. I want to travel to England one day and visit Yorkshire and maybe go to the Yorkshire Tea factory at Harrogate. While I’m there I would like to visit the place in Yorkshire where they filmed an old English comedy show called Open All Hours. It was about a greedy shopkeeper and his nephew who also worked in the shop and it was really funny.

Orienteering sprint event on course for Warwick After a good roll up to their first event of the year held in Queens Park in Warwick on Sunday, the Bullecourt Boulder Bounders will be conducting another sprint event next Sunday 13 February at the Warwick Showgrounds. The club’s publicity officer Liz Bourne said that they had produced a new orienteering map of the showgrounds and competitors would enjoy navigating around its buildings and yards. “Sprint orienteering is a good way for people to learn the basic map reading and navigational skills in a safe environment before they venture out to bush events,” Liz said.
