Rate rise pain incoming

Mayor.

Jonathan O’Neill oneill.jonathan1@outlook.com

Ratepayers in the Southern Downs will feel the pinch on their household budgets with rates set to climb in the next financial year.

Southern Downs Regional Council Mayor, Vic Pennisi say there will be winners and losers in the upcoming budget deliberations.

“We have input costs are going up seven percent at the moment, but our population growth is

only one percent,” Cr Pennisi said.

“It is what we have to live with, and unfortunately the only place we [Council] get our money is through ratepayers.”

A ratepayer present at the Connecting with Council session in Dalveen last week, voiced their frustration with rates calling on Council to either lower them, or begin to give the Dalveen community their fair share.

“Our land valuations have gone through the roof. It’s just ridiculous what the rates are going to be on our land,” They said.

“It’s getting to the stage where we just want something for our money.

“Look at how we’re feeling at the moment. We’re paying a lot of rates, and it’s easy money for you [Council].

“You’re not doing much to help with our land or anything, at least in a larger town you get kerbs and streetlights. There’s a lot of unhappy people out here about certain things, because Council aren’t speaking to them.

Mayor Pennisi agreed with the rate rise sentiments, but stressed that land valuations share no correlation with rates.

“I’ve been in local government for almost 20 years, and there hasn’t been one year where there’s been 0% rate rises, for the simple fact it’s the only place we [Council} get money,” Cr Pennisi

Funding offer for Leslie Dam toilets

Jonathan O’Neill oneill.jonathan1@outlook.com

Southern Downs Regional Council have formally received an offer to build a new toilet block at Leslie Dam to the tune of $250,000.

Councillor Andrew Gale told the Town & Country Journal Council had received an offer from the state government owned dam operator, Sunwater, which submitted the formal offer following a meeting with Council CEO Dave Burges in March.

“This is personally a big achievement as it’s some-

thing I’ve been trying to achieve for fifteen years, in fact it’s probably what led me to being a Councillor, I’m excited,” Cr Gale said.

The letter addressed to Council from Sunwater’s General Manager of Operations south, Craig Cahill, indicated the water storage operator will provide

the $250,000 in funding to supply and install the ablution block at the popular Leslie Dam.

“Funding is provided for the purposes of the supply and installation of an ablution block only, with any unspent funds to be returned to Sunwater,” Mr Cahill said.

said.

“The rate rise will be somewhere in line with CPI (consumer price index), but if you’ve got a 300% increase, which some people did in their valuation, there won’t be 300% rate rise.

“What our officers have done, is use the valuation and using last year’s rates bill, work out what the rate rise will be.

“They’ve got it to under 1%. It’s actually around 0.4% of what it was last year, and from there they’ll work out what the rate rise will be on this lot of valuations, based on the pie that was collected from the last rates.

Littleproud welcomes government’s cattle funding

Jonathan O’Neill oneill.jonathan1@outlook.com

The country’s largest cattle industry exhibition has seen a funding injection for the next edition in 2024.

Agriculture Minister Murray Watt has announced the federal government will provide $6 million in funding for the tri-annual event, held in Rockhampton.

“We’re really excited to be partnering with Beef Australia… we went to the election with a commitment of $6 million for this event from the federal government,” Sen Watt said.

“We honoured that in the last budget in October, this is all about delivering to the beef industry.

“It doesn’t matter whether you grow cattle, whether you’re a meat processing worker, whether you’re in the research and development side of beef or you just like eating steak, there’s something for every-

one at Beef Week.

Member for Maranoa and leader of the Nationals David Littleproud welcomed the funding commitment by the Labor Government.

“We know how important Beef Week is for the cattle industry and for Queensland,” Mr Littleproud said.

“Australia is one of the world’s largest exporters of high-quality beef and the industry is worth $15 billion, which highlights just how vital a role it plays to Australia’s economy.

“The economic and social impacts our agricultural sector has on our country should not be

underestimated and I sincerely hop the Labor Government appreciates that in the upcoming budget.

The cattle industry has faced a number of challenges over he past 12-18 months with risk and disease internationally, something Senator Watt is not concerned about leading into Beef 2024.

“There were real shockwaves that went through this industry in July last year when foot and mouth disease reached Bali,” Sen Watt said.

“We worked really close with the industry to keep the industry safe, to keep those trade doors open, and as a result of that, Australia remains free of foot and mouth disease.

“We’re confident that we’ve got the processes and program in place to keep Australia disease free, but the risks do keep growing and it requires effort from all of us.

“We’ve all got a role to play in making sure we stay disease free”.

COLUMN CENTIMETRES

EVERYONE’S ENTITLED with Andrew Gale

Thankfully, it doesn’t happen often, but last week was one of those weeks where I had a lot of bad stuff occur. Well, not really all that bad. Just a few things that were inconvenient or unfortunate more than anything. I have a great friend and mentor and one of the things he always likes to say is that “problems are just opportunities in disguise.” Or is it, “there are no problems, only solutions?” Something like that anyway.

Seeing that the latter quote is attributed to John Lennon, and my friend also sees himself as a bit of a musician, (at least around Christmas), it must be the last one. Regardless, my point is, despite not having everything go my way this last week, I’ve tried to put a positive spin on it.

One of the first “bad things” that happened this week was that the water-main from the meter to the front of the house burst. It created an amazing water-feature in the front yard. (No, that wasn’t a good thing. Far from it.)

As usual, these things seem to always happen to me on public holidays when plumbers are not available. This meant some serious digging about to find the leak, in the sloppy black-soil mush pit that is now my front yard, in the late

afternoon shade, without sun to keep my wet and muddy body warm.

So, what can I be thankful about?

In this case I can be thankful that my dad was a pipefitter (an industrial plumber) and much of my childhood was spent helping him. Enough that I have the skills to effect emergency repairs good enough to last until the plumber turned up the next day.

Another day, another drama. This time my boat trailer decided to snap an axle plate and subsequently blow a tyre on the way to Leslie Dam. Despite having tools and spares and all that, it was enough to leave me stranded on the roadside.

Aaaarrrggghh. More bad luck. Woe is me and all that.

Thankfully, I had a plan, oh, and did I ever mention, I have six strong sons. All with backs better than mine. Thanks, guys, for helping me out. (Again) Love Dad.

Speaking of boys, one of them has a blown-up car engine. The sort of thing that happens when you drive it with a water leak. I spent a couple of days lying on my back under it and leaning over it putting a new engine in for him. (Did I mention my back?) I suppose this is the part where I say I’m thankful that I can do that for him or any of my other kids if I need to.

The other thing of note that happened last week was the onset of wintry weather. The first night took us by surprise catching us in our summer jammies and no extra blanket on the bed. I remember being extra cold and extra tired. Too tired to get up in the middle of the night to get another blanket, but too cold to sleep.

It’s times like that I’m thankful I have my darling wife to cuddle.

She’s super snuggly.

Ihad to laugh out loud when former PM Tony Abbott spoke against the Voice on the grounds that it would be a body based on hereditary grounds, not fitting for a democracy. “This voice,” Mr Abbott told a parliamentary inquiry into the Voice “will be hereditary in the sense that to be a member of the Voice, you have to have indigenous ancestry.” Divisive he said. Makes sense, no? Sure, but makes no bloody sense when you’re a monarchist mate… which Mr Abbott is. If it makes sense (to Mr Abbott) that we have hovering over us a man or woman in a country far far away, who was chosen on the basis of who had sex with whom in a royal bedroom far far away and a long time ago, then I hardly think having an indigenous voice hovering over our parliament should represent a problem.

At least the indigenous voice will be made up of people who more or less represent the ‘original owners’ of the property on which parliament was built. If you’ve inherited property from your mum and dad at any stage, then you seem to acknowledge that it’s OK to inherit property just on the basis that you’re genetically related to the ‘original owners’…so perhaps we ought to be a little more understanding of the notion that we are standing on Aboriginal land.

Mind you, I’m not of the view that we are standing on Aboriginal land, controversial as that may seem—because I think it a

bit more complicated than that. To me, it’s strange that land ‘belongs’ to just one particular life form. In my garden there is a pecan tree that has been there for generations…it’s diameter would be a good four foot, making it a true monster of the pecan nut family. A while ago someone cut it down…but the tree wouldn’t die. It sprouted forth a new pecan shoot, fully a decade after the chainsaw had its way…and that shoot shot up and now stands taller than me in the period of just ten months. It’s obviously sucking on roots that the mere human with the chainsaw thought he had killed. I’ll be dead in 20 years or less, and to say this is “my” land or Elizabeth’s land is really typical human arrogance.

We’ve only be around as a species for a short space of time, relative to the age of the land on which we stand. We’re short-term caretakers…and when I looked down from the plane from Brisbane to Adelaide and measured the amount of land we had stripped bare versus the land we had left in something like the condition it was when Cook came a couple of centuries ago, I came to the conclusion we’re not very good caretakers at that… So let’s be honest, Mr Abbott.

Cycleway plan moving in Warwick

Jonathan O’Neill oneill.jonathan1@outlook.com

Along discussed infrastructure plan for Warwick has finally progressed to the detailed design phase, based on the completed concept plans for the Warwick Principle Cycle Network.

Downs

project, initially approved in October 2018, would follow a 5km route from Easey Street, travelling along Pratten and Dragon Streets before ending at the Victoria Street intersection.

Manager for Works (Construction and Maintenance) at Southern Downs Regional Council, James Varughese told Councillors the project began through Transport and Main Roads involve-

ment to secure $340,000 to facilitate the planning and design of the cycleway.

The joint TMR-SDRC project has experienced various iterations of design, with consultation undertaken to find the most suitable location.

Senior designer and technical officer with GenEng, Jo Waters said the change to Pratten Street would provide a safer and more fluid route for cycle lanes.

Major works for the project include

the installation of traffic signals at the Wood Street and Dragon Street intersection, and an underpass under Wallace Street travelling through Victoria Park.

Underpass at Wallace/Pratten Street intersection will eliminate need for a second set of traffic lights.

“The preferred option for crossing Wallace Street is an underpass through Victoria Park… this will facilitate safer interaction with traffic, pedestrians and cyclists,” Ms Waters said.

“This will require resumption of Council owned land at Victoria Park… and principal support requested from TMR to progress the project to the detailed design phase”.

The business of the art of farming

Tanya Jobling – Co-ordinator

There’s a degree at Uni called Agricultural Science, but those of us in farming probably often think it as the Art of Agriculture rather than the science of it. How many days on the farm go just as planned? How many years even? Nonetheless, it’s a great business to be in, the best. And, it requires running like a business, but a special kind.

Wartime Love Letter

Kim Hanson-Ross kimberley.hansonross@icloud.com

Alove letter from the World War II era, dated November 11 1945, has been discovered by staff while they were rearranging a wartime memorabilia cabinet the Leyburn RSL Museum.

The letter was addressed to a Miss M. Williams, and nobody currently working at the RSL had reportedly seen the letter before or known how long it had been there.

The letter is reportedly cryptic in some parts, with the author referring to himself as “Mr Hyde,” though RSL Museum Co-ordinator Sheryle Wieden, described the letter as “sweet.”

“Some parts of the letter are quite sad. He talks about being depressed and having ups and downs. The letter is addressed to a woman he truly cares about, likely a lover, but it could

be a sister or family member too.” Ms Wieden added.

Leyburn RSL have reportedly received word of a Williams family from Moree, though noted that the family could have moved anywhere in the country since 1945, reported The Courier Mail.

“We’d love to identify the gentleman who wrote it, and find the woman it was addressed to, this solider has probably long passed, so any family that did find it would be excited as well.” Ms Weiden said.

“It’s a real find, there’s no pretence about it, its physical and frail of course, but it gave me great excitement to trace the treasure and find a family connection. It belongs here alongside the soldier’s photo and to be preserved as history.”

“It’s so important to preserve local history. I moved to Leyburn 10 years ago and found that I had connections to the original founding family, so keeping the history alive is a personal quest for me now” she said.

Working on the farm now often includes work “in the office”.

Doctors on tightening vaping regulations

The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) has also supported the Albanese Government’s vaping regulations including a $63 million advertising campaign to discourage vaping and smoking.

RACGP President Dr Nicole Higgins backed the measures saying they are “great news”.

“We must do much more to limit the number of young people, including children and teenagers, taking up nicotine vaping,” she said this week. “The last thing we want is a new generation of

nicotine users, and since the brains of younger people are still developing, I’m worried that it will be even harder for them to quit nicotine compared to adults.

“The advertising campaign and steps to limit the aesthetic appeal of vaping products including pharmaceutical-packaging with warning labels are especially welcome. Nicotine vaping products are

being sold featuring colourful flavours and we have even seen products featuring the same type of imagery as children’s breakfast cereal including cartoon characters.

“Clearly companies are targeting children and these cynical tactics must be stopped immediately. The proof will be in the pudding on the advertising campaign, which I think it holds great promise. I hope the campaign is something that cuts through with different audiences, particularly young people.”

Dr Higgins said that the RACGP would work in partnership with government.

Plummeting temperatures of 4 degrees were no barrier to this year’s Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal breakfast held at Club Warwick RSL last Thursday morning.

Right across Australia, in every community large or small, people are struggling with hardship, homelessness, domestic violence, natural disasters, addiction and mental illness. Through it all the

Salvation Army are there to respond to the need. Cr Marco Gliori was the MC for the breakfast and while he entertained the crowd with his humorous commentary, his mission for raising awareness and funds for the Salvation Army were sincere

and clear for all to see.

Special guests present at the breakfast were Major David & Michelle Terracini, Captain Richard and Leanne Hardaker, Kevin Lawler and Rowan Johnstone. Michele Terracini gave the opening address, reminding everyone of the early beginnings of the Salvo’s as the group is affectionately known here in Australia. From humble beginnings in a park in Adelaide in 1880 this group has grown and gone from strength to strength, all for the benefit of the most vulnerable. They have a long history of supporting Australians who are doing it tough, no matter how big or small their needs or concerns may be. She offered a big vote of thanks to Club Warwick RSL for their ongoing support.

CEO of Club Warwick RSL, Michael Jones, who is the Chair of the Warwick Salvation Army Advisory Group, spoke of the important work the

Salvo’s do here in Warwick.

Captain Richard and Leanne Hardaker run the local Salvation Army here in Warwick and they spoke about the wonderful support they receive from Club Warwick RSL for their free meal program on Saturday nights.

The Salvation Army have grown up with Australia and Australians, and are widely recognised across the country by their uniforms, op shops, brass bands and more importantly for the indiscriminate support for those in need of help.

The Red Shield Appeal started

in the 1960’s allowed the community to actively volunteer and participate with the Salvo’s in the raising of funds. Many of us will remember as school children volunteering as doorknockers for the Red Shield Appeal.

Akooramak Care of Older Person’s facility hosted a Royal Morning Tea Tuesday May 2, inviting its residents to dress up in royal inspired clothing.

Akooramak resident, Joan Casson, described the morning tea as luxurious and tasteful, saying that everyone involved “really did enjoy our beautiful morning.”

“The whole thing was lovely. We did the cooking and had lots of fun. Everyone was in the spirit,” Ms Casson added.

Barbara Mapes, the Lifestyle Coordinator for Akooramak, said the morning tea involved a quiz, and a “not so known facts” session which involved tidbits such as King Charles the III having his own Quiche recipe, and his Aston Martin relaying on wine for fuel.

The women and men were outfitted with tiaras and top hats for the week, leading up to the Coronation, which was televised live on Saturday night.

“SDRC will be responsible for the design, supply and installation of the ablutions block to Council’s standard… [and] be responsible for obtaining all relevant permits and approvals require for the construction”.

The correspondence indicates the funding will be available for the upcoming financial year beginning on the June 1, however this does not stipulate when construction on the

ablutions block is to begin.

“It is not expected that the ablutions block will be constructed during this timeframe, however, this is the timeframe of funding availability

A paternal future for Farmer David

Selina Venier editor@thedailyjournal.ink

There was something overwhelmingly sweet about seeing farmer David (McMahon, pictured) cuddling his nephew, Robert on the Farmer Wants a Wife episode that went to air on Channel 7 on April 30.

The exchange was an insight into what the future is hopefully to hold, in figurative and literal ways, for David, once he makes the final selection among the ladies remaining.

Asking David what it was like to have three of them meet the McMahon crew, including Robert’s Mum and Dad and his sister, Megan and her husband Paul, David said the Pozieres scenery and local produce set the enjoyable scene.

“While there were some questions the family had for the girls, the overall day was one of great food, lots of laughs and plenty of stories coming from Dad,” the local Channel 7 entrant to the national series told our newspapers.

“I felt a sense of relaxation going into the family lunch for two reasons. Firstly, for the first time in the adventure I could sit back and let others ask the questions and secondly, I knew the family were meeting great ladies and this would bring an ease to the occasion.”

Of seeing the footage, David alluded to his sentiments in one of our previous stories when he said it was challenging to watch himself on the TV.

“From the very beginning I always knew that the adventure I had chosen to potentially find my future wife was going to be televised,” he said. “No matter how much you mentally prepare for this, it is always hard to watch yourself in this light. That being said, I still have plenty of moments smiling back at the footage and only a few where I am burying my head in the pillow.

“From my point of view, the main challenge is knowing there is a lot of filming that doesn't make the cut and this sometimes leaves me feel like my decisions are less justified in the final edit.”

The footage of David holding baby Robert, only a few months old at the time of filming, was insightful for the future, David saying, “Robert sure did start his TV career early!”

“I’ve always been excited about the prospect of starting a family on the farm,” he added. “Seeing Robert growing up in such a positive household with Paul and Megan is definitely motivating to eventually find that place in my life.”

NRL Results

Magic Round has been run and won for another year, with some big winners and losers to come out of Suncorp’s feature weekend.

The first winners are definitely Queensland teams, with all four saluting for the first time in what seems like ages.

Brisbane started things off with a convincing win over Manly on Friday night where the Sea Eagles didn’t look like winning at all.

That was backed up on Saturday night as the Dolphins made Wayne Bennett a happy man in his 900th game as a head coach, taking down title contenders Cronulla. They were on a rampage from the opening whistle, going on to score the first five tries and open up a 30-0 lead before halftime.

It continues an incredible season for the league’s newest club, who are exceeding expectations with every passing week.

Then on Sunday it was a double delight with the North Queensland Cowboys suddenly finding their best form to dismantle the Sydney Roosters in a one-sided affair, and the Titans holding off a late Parramatta charge to get the two points in the final game of the round.

The weekend’s other winners were the South Sydney Rabbitohs, who moved up to second spot on the ladder after a big win over Melbourne. Canberra deserve their praise as well, after overcoming two disallowed tries that looked to be certain tries, to overcome the Bulldogs.

They’ve started to build some momentum this season after an early thrashing to Penrith, and are certainly keeping themselves in the frame for finals.

They looked impressive with some great tries and attacking flair, as well as a double to Alex Johnston in his 200th first grade game.

As for the losers, the Roosters would have to be top of the tree after a bitterly disappointing performance against the Cowboys.

They just couldn’t find any form of meaningful attack throughout the entire game, with their only try coming in the final minutes when the result was well and truly decided.

The Dragons are another after making it five consecutive losses when they couldn’t take care of the Wests Tigers.

Talent from the Downs to Toowoomba

Selina Venier editor@thedailyjournal.ink

Maree Oxlad was born in Stanthorpe, moved away but now has returned and a certain artistic flair has her exhibiting in Toowoomba, this month and next.

The “self-taught realist” said she started drawing nature and animals, especially horses.

“Being a horse fanatic, animals were my main topic for drawing, also cartooning of everyday life, mural painting on shop walls and just expressing myself where and when the urge took me,” she told our newspapers after calling us excitedly about the opportunity to display them.

“My mother decided art and horses were not a proper career, so I was encouraged to take up hairdressing. I found cutting hair was my preference, so eventually I operated and owned my own barber shop.”

Maree said painting became her “calming outlet” for a busy career with watercolour her “preferred medium”.

the free flow and translucent affect watercolours give,” she continued.

“I am profoundly moved and motivated by the beauty of nature, especially those secluded areas that hold special secrets that appear if you take the time to experience … or a fleeting moment, captured on film when the light enhances a subject of incredible beauty. Tonal values of light and dark fascinate me, and I try to capture that in my work.”

Maree said she had a “fortuitous meeting” with Daryl Moore of Toowoomba Antiques & Collectibles, allowing the current opportunity.

“The owners, Daryl and Gorden (Lee) generously offer a display area within their beautiful premises, to new and up-coming Granite Belt artists to sell their creative work,” she said.

“The quality of the setting and the large customer base is a wonderful opportunity for which I am grateful.”

There's a “Sip and Shop Evening” on May 18 at 5pm with the exhibition able to be seen until June 17. Visit the antiques and collectibles outlet at 451 Ruthven Street, Toowoomba.

This month the Warwick War Widows celebrated Mother’s Day at their monthly social get together. Club Warwick RSL CEO Michael Jones is ever conscious of the important role these women played in the support of their late husbands. ‘It is an honour to now show our support of these wonderful women,’ he said.

The ladies would like to thank fellow member Dawn Franklin for

the delicious ice cream cake they enjoyed after their lunch. Unfortunately, Dawn was unable to join the ladies this month but those present rang and sang happy birthday to her over the phone.

The group extends an open invitation to any veteran’s widows to come and meet with them. There is a mixture of full members and associate members in the group. To learn more, join the Warwick War Widows on the first Thursday of the month at 11.00am in the Southern Cross Room in Club Warwick RSL. For more information, call Deborah on 0414 852 492.

21 Mar-20 Apr

Many will be thinking in terms of buying property or moving interstate. Many will become engaged, married or reconciling past differences with present lovers.

CANCER

22 Jun-22 Jul

Most will be in a happier financial situation, however it is not the time to lend money or possessions. The singles could find the lover they have been seeking.

LIBRA

24 Sep-23 Oct

A very pleasant period ahead, take advantage of any invitations forthcoming. Many could be travelling and many could be in for money and or better career prospects.

CAPRICORN

21 Dec-19 Jan

A happier and more relaxed period and for many luck through lotteries, legacies or wise investments. Unexpected opportunities in a career venture and for some a traveller returns.

It was stated in one of the speeches on Sunday after the Rest of the World Series that Morgan Park is one of the best polocrosse facilities in the world.

I would like to see a better one as every time you got to the grounds, there is something new.

A lot of the changes are to make it better for the fans, I noticed a lot of the fans were on the raised area north of the clubhouse after the last of the internationals finished on Sunday.

The condition of the main field at the end of the carnival was outstanding and that is partly because with seven fields, the games can be spread around.

There wasn’t much dust in the internationals.

I have never played polocrosse but one of my first memories of the game was when the Cunningham club was having carnivals in a pad-

dock opposite the Cunningham Hall.

I remember going with my parents to the carnival.

Then games were played in Seibel’s Paddock on the Bony Mountain to Pratten road and now at the Bony Mountain Recreation Reserve.

The fatal car crash involving Princess Diana was reported on the radio as I was driving past the saleyards going from a carnival at Cunningham to a working bee at the Killarney club which was organising the state championships a week

later. Most people remember where they were when they heard about the crash.

My involvement with Cunningham was mainly due to the club being in the area near our farm at Greymare.

No one said a lot on Sunday about when the next international polocrosse should be held at Morgan Park but at least some fans suggest games against the Rest of the World could be every second year although not necessarily in Warwick or Australia for that matter.

11th to 17th May

GEMINI

21 May-21 Jun

Stay out of family fights or arguments among friends, most will be in the grip of wanderlust and could be travelling longer distances than usual. It is very hard to balance the budget however keep trying.

LEO

23 Jul-22 Aug

There could be a tendency to be accident prone so watch your step. Most will be making plans for major changes to take place later this year. For most an increase in salary.

SCORPIO

24 Oct-22 Nov

Avoid confrontations with authority, a very impatient period so be extra careful out on the roads. Many could be in for major changes in their relationships.

AQUARIUS

20 Jan-19 Feb

Most will be in for a happy and relaxed period. People you meet during the holiday period are destined to have a big impact on your future plans. Some who can't travel should be happy with friends and social activities.

A very favourable period however its a period of ends and beginnings and as one door closes a better one opens so look ahead not back. Many will be luckier in lotteries or a wise investment.

VIRGO

23 Aug-23 Sep

Take nothing and no one at face value as your judgement may not be up to scratch. Making progress in your love life could be most important. Social life is about to become hectic.

SAGITTARIUS

23 Nov-20 Dec

Personal relationships will be prominent during this period and it is a happy time for family gatherings. Make sure you allow plenty of time to enjoy social activities rather than getting involved behind the scene.

PISCES

20 Feb-20 Mar

There could be contacts from old friends or past flames, most will have to be very diplomatic to keep their personal relationships stable. Career activities are set to bring increased earnings and opportunities.

Stanthorpe Golf Notes

Aaron Simmers

Contributed

Stanthorpe golfers played a stroke event on their first Saturday competition for the new month of May, the day sponsored by club members, Kay Webb, Margie Locke and Lorraine Evans and they are thanked for putting on the trophies for the day. As an added bonus on the day, it was also the first round of the club’s single championships. With three divisions in both men’s and ladies sections, plenty of interest in the first round of hopeful contenders. Some good rounds with others not so good, but another three rounds for all players to improve their positions. Interesting to see which players see out all four rounds of the event. A few players

have put themselves in a good position but plenty of time for all to see who will be serious contenders come the final round in a few weeks time.

For the individual stroke event on the day, Brad Silver had an excellent round, playing off an 11 handicap, his gross score of 79 gave him a nett 68 to win the men’s side of the day. One shot back on nett 70 was Matt Waterworth claiming runner up spot. His score for the day of 73 off the stick puts him in a strong position for the championships.

The ladies needed the countback to find a winner as both Lisa Stuart and Lorraine Evans returned nett 74 on the day. Lisa was the lucky recipient of the countback leaving Lorraine to take the runner up place.

Men’s pin shots were shared around, John Green taking 3, Hamish Adam at 12 and Ron

Batterham at 17. No takers for the ladies at 3 and Nikki Waterworth collected the rest, best at 12 and 17 for the ladies. Trevor Wren had closest pro-pin at 1/10, Matt Leigh successful at 5/14 and Brad Silver claiming 9/18. Birdies nest at 7 was unclaimed.

In the run down, scores of nett 73 and better were rewarded for the men and nett 76 successful for the ladies.

Next Saturday, May 13, will be a stroke event, the second round of the club championships. To add a bit of interest, the day is also the monthly medal for the month of May, another chance for players to qualify for the Medal of Medallists in November. Sponsors for the day are club members, Mark and Racheal Hendry. Players are reminded that we are now starting at the earlier Winter time spot of 11.00 am. The time sheet for the day is on the board at the club.

Stanthorpe Golf for the Ladies

Helen Jones Contributed

It was the Monthly Medal and putting competition today and the beautiful weather conditions were enjoyed by all the lady golfers on May 3. Well on her way to lowering her handicap is Filomena Silver. Filomena won the monthly medal with a very

impressive result - 70 nett. Filomena also shared the putting competition with Lisa Stuart both with 32 putts. Helen Jones was runner up with 76 nett. Lisa had a beautiful game and won the gross score with 91. On top of all that Lisa won the pin shots on the 17th and 5/14th. Linda Kelly had a beautiful shot on to the 12th green and won that pin shot.

Garry Hanson Contributed

Aglorious Autumn day greeted the 64 players who teed off last Wednesday (3/5).

Tony Kahler made the most of the weather and posted a nett 68 to take the winners spoils. Second spot on a nett 69 was a battle between five players with a countback giving the decision to Jet Jensen.

This relegated Greg Wallace, Ross Hetherington, Craig Burgess and Al Matthews to a ball each in the run down.

I don't know if the

month of May had anything to do with it but there was also five together on a nett 70 they being Mal Galloway, Duke Maloney, Barry McKinnon, Jesse Ollerton and Ross Kingston.

To finish the run down off on a count back Mark Simmonds on nett 71 collected the last ball.

On the Pro Pin 13th Doug Rickert collected $25, Mark Simmonds $15 and Scott Mills $10.

Nearest the pins Greg Wallace both the 5th and 7th, Ron Simon 9th, Trevor Malone 11th and Doug Wilson 16th.

I am sure most can agree that " A good drive on the 18th has stopped many a golfer giving up the game".

Cowboys win TRL Aussies win all six

Gerard Walsh sports@thedailyjournal.ink

Cousins Abbott and Lucy Grills won the overall best player awards as Australia won all six polocrosse internationals at Morgan Park at the weekend. (May 5-7).

Australia started the weekend with a 35-20 victory in the mens on Friday night and 35-10 in the womens.

On Saturday night, it was 30-22 in the mens in a game where the Rest of the World only trailed by four goals at the end of the seventh chukka in an eight-chukka game.

The women’s score on

Saturday night was 33-14 to Australia with the home team even more dominant on Sunday with a 41-6 win.

The Rest of the World mixed it with the Australians for the first half of the men’s

game on Sunday before the Australians took control to win 34-23.

The champion player of the international women’s series was Australian star Lucy Grills who predominately played in midfield or defence.

In the men’s series, the player of the match in the final game and player of the series was Abbott Grills from the Albury Holbrook club in New South Wales.

He also won the champion men’s horse with Lady Ga Ga and the champion Australian Stock Horse with Berragoon Ida. The best horse awards in the women’s competition went to Lindsey Doolan on Doolanpartnership Kit Kat.

Warwick Cowboys prop Byron

Creighton was the best player in a 38-0 win against Brothers at Glenholme Park on Sunday (May 7) in the Toowoomba Rugby League.

The Cowboys led 20-0 at halftime but in a concern for the club, inside back Ben Sullivan left the field with a knee injury.

When Sullivan was injured, Nick Nonghi came in at half with Western Clydesdales under-21 player Nick Carrie at five-eighth.

Nonghi scored two tries.

Fullback Nick Chapman was unavailable for the Cowboys and was replaced by Lachlan Gee.

Outside back Tyrelle Ross scored two tries for the Cowboys as he continued his outstanding try-scoring record in recent sea-

sons.

In reserve grade, Warwick won 86-0 with inside back Dylan Lippi and lock Joe Wagner scoring three tries each. Matthew Henry kicked 13 goals from 15 attempts.

Speed said captain coach Sam Williamson had a good rotation with his big forwards in reserve grade.

“The reggies were blessed to have hooker Damien Beresford back and he has a great combination with Joe Wagner,” he said.

“Halves Dylan Lippi and Riley Byrne also have a good combination.”

Brothers don’t field an under-19 side so there were only two games on the day.

On Saturday, May 13, Warwick will host Dalby in three grades from 3.30pm at Father Ranger Oval.

Speed said he expected a tough game against a Dalby side in the top five in A grade.

Warriors clean sweep against Danes

Glyn Rees sports@thedailyjournal.ink

The Allora-Clifton based Wattles Warriors served notice they are a force to be reckoned with in all grades when they overwhelmed the Pittsworth Danes on home turf at Clifton’s Platz Oval on Saturday.

The luckless Danes bore the brunt of the Wattles onslaught, the home side successful in A Grade 44 – 12, Reserve Grade 32 – 12 and Under 19, 24 – 16.

A Grade

While he wasn’t a certain starter coming in the game given injury concerns, speed machine centre Austin Jennings reminded supporters of his capabilities running in three eye catching touchdowns.

It wasn’t all Wattles way throughout though, Pittsworth easing to a 12 – 6 A Grade lead by the fourteen-minute mark, before Wattles lifted a gear to lead 24 – 12 at the break before skipping away in the second stanza.

The Danes were still well in the contest at half time, but when Jennings launched his side’s second stanza charge in the 47th minute that featured a superb in and away resulting in a try, the outlook looked grim for the visitors.

The Stillwater Pastoral Company Warriors went on to run in another three unanswered touchdowns through front-rower Jordan Crocker and wingers Mitch Bourke and Jake Meddleton to reach their full time total.

Wattles defence underlined

their winning result, and while Pittsworth had ample opportunities and territory to work within, they couldn’t turn it in to points.

The green and gold forwards toiled endlessly let by skipper Ty Gardner and sterling efforts by the Stevens brothers Zac and Tyson.

A shining light that emerged from the rough and tumble of the Warriors pack was 18-yearold Harry Schwenke making a stunning top-grade debut. He had earlier made his mark in Wattles Under 19 victory and collected a try to add to a memorable day.

Coming off the bench, Schwenke ran on in the 29th minute and lined up at every opportunity for his chunk of the work load that included some hefty defence and line breaks.

Wattles back five were in fine attacking form, Jennings, Meddleton and the ever-reliable fullback Matthew Christensen especially.

Burns was also happy with his halves, halfback Braydon Paix very active organising and inspiring attack.

The Warriors looked more than capable of rising to another performance level, and will have to with the premiership heavyweights they will encounter in the coming weeks. Burns was full of praise for his team, “the win will help build confidence.”

Wattles 44 (Austin Jennings 3, Jacob Meddleton 2, Mitch Bourke, Mitch Duff, Jordan Crocker tries; Brayden Paix 6 goals) defeated Pittsworth 12 (Thomas O’Sullivan, Brenton Clement tries; Thomas O’Sullivan 2 goals).

Reserve Grade

Wattles’ Tony Morris Tiling Reserve Grade team maintained their unbeaten record after four rounds of the TRL premiership when they accounted for Pittsworth 32 – 12.

It was anyone’s game at half time with Wattles leading 10 – 4,

however a try by bustling centre Braydon Wilson in the first minute of the second stanza triggered a home side dominance. After further touchdowns by hooker Alex Morris and winger Warren Draper Wattles established a 28 – 4 lead with twenty minutes to play.

The Danes struck back with two tries in a five-minute space soon after, but it was too little too late, and Wattles flanker Travis Pitman shut the game out when he scored in the shadow of full time.

Wattles 32 (Warren Draper 2, Dale McAntee, Alex Morris, Braydon Wilson, Travis Pitman tries; Joe Willett 4 goals) defeated Pittsworth 12 (Jake Johnston, John Lele, Ausage Meauli tries).

Under 19

Pittsworth had the edge on the Black Toyota, Warwick Wattles line up leading 12 – 8 at halftime in the Under 19 contest.

Wattles points came from tries but Sam Gilmore and slick

winger Daniel Morris.

An error from the second half restart opened the gate for home side threequarter Lachlan Clements to touch down and snatch a 14 – 12 lead.

Wattles upped the anti in the second half after a sluggish start to the match, and tries by centre Will Sheppard and back-rower Harry Schwenke saw the green & gold outfit snare their third success of the season.

Wattles 24 (Will Sheppard, Lachlan Clements, Daniel Morris, Harry Schwenke, Sam Gilmore tries; Koby De Luca 2 goals) defeated Pittsworth 16 (Ethan Facer 2, Clay Dempsey tries; Kade Warren, Lachlan Thompson goals).

Round 5

Wattles head to the Lockyer Valley on Sunday May 14th to challenge the Gatton Hawks in all grades at the Cahill Park Sporting Complex.

Wattles forwards Jacob Mouatt (15) and Harry Schwenke halt a Pittsworth runner in Saturday’s Toowoomba Rugby League Round 4 clash at Clifton’s Platz Oval.

Wattles Warriors captain Ty Gardner congratulates 18 year old Harry Schwenke on his A Grade debut against Pittsworth on Saturday.
