Town &

Caitlyn's race to Olympics

Despite being one of the youngest in the open field, Caitlyn Garrett won the 4.5km cross country, 5km roadrace and 1500m at the 21st run at the weekend. She only competed in three events so was not eligible for the overall awards.

“I will be sixteen next year so will probably go in the ten-kilometre race next year,” she said.

“Long term, I want to make it to the Olympics.”

Miss Garrett's next aim this year is to make the Queensland team for the school nationals in cross country this year.

She may be faced with a decision about her main sport in years to come as she has

already finished 7th in her age group in the national triathlon championships in Tasmania.

“Triathlon might be my best chances for the Olympics,” she said.

The run is her best triathlon leg and the swim, her most challenging.

Miss Garrett does her running training under Milcah McKinnon at Middle River Park in Toowoomba and goes to The Glennie School. In

peak season, she trains four sessions a week for cross country and 14 sessions a week for triathlon. As for the Pentathrun, she rates it an excellent event and was competing in Warwick for the third time.

Council divided over minutes

Jonathan O’Neill oneill.jonathan1@outlook.com

Southern Downs Councillor Cynthia McDonald, on Wednesday May 24, called out the recording of minutes for the Ordinary Council meeting on May 10 saying they did not reflect the proper proceedings of the Council meeting.

As reported in our newspapers on May 12, Councillor McDonald left the meeting following an argument with the Mayor regarding the taking of minutes from the Granite Belt Alliance Meeting in March.

The Councillor asked for the whereabouts of those minutes following letters of complaint she had been informed of directed at those present over the conduct of that meeting.

During the statutory Council meeting on May 10, Councillor McDonald made her statements during item 14 of the meeting agenda however, the discussion was recorded as item 13.2.

Councillor McDonald announced twice during the meeting that she would leave following her repeatedly being ‘shut down’ whilst having the floor.

The minutes from that meeting said she was issued with an order of inappropriate meeting conduct by the Mayor, and asked to leave the meeting, but does not reflect that the Councillor was already in the process of leaving the meeting.

Councillor McDonald said she viewed the recorded minutes as being a fabrication of the meeting events and flies in the face of the Council’s Code of Conduct.

“It lacks transparency and it lacks democratic representation. Where is our ability to have freedom of speech, and expect that it is captured in the minutes for the community to view?,” Cr McDonald said.

“We work in a democracy and have 360 staff. The media appears to be able to represent our minutes better than our own organisation has been able to.

“There appears to be what I call a revisionist attitude towards these minutes, a misrepresentation or a lack of information.

“It would appear to me that the chair and CEO’s version of unsuitable meeting conduct occurred during item 13.2 as the minutes currently stand.

“This was in fact for a material change of use to 25 Freestone Road. That was absolutely incorrect. The item as I stated, clearly

pertained to item 14 ‘reports’, or item 16 ‘general business’.

“It’s no different to Councillor Tancred providing an unannounced report on the Stanthorpe River Trust, yet his report was allowed.

“I hope that we don’t have double standards within this council. There was no description of the matter that was under debate, even after I mentioned that public complaints had been made”.

Councillor Stephen Tancred spoke against Councillor McDonald during Wednesday’s meeting saying he had in fact spoken to the Mayor and CEO about including the report on the Stanthorpe River Trust in the days prior to the last meeting.

“I do feel a bit hurt by the McDonald’s comments saying the media have done a better job than our staff, and on behalf of

our staff, I take exception to the word fabrication,” Cr Tancred said.

Councillor Jo McNally spoke in support of Councillor McDonald, saying McDonald tried to discuss the matter prior to the meeting via email, but to no avail.

Councillor Sheryl Windle also spoke in support, saying on two occasions Councillor McDonald said she would be leaving the meeting, which was not reflected in the recorded minutes.

“I went back and reviewed the live stream three times to get a clear understanding of what took place, and I can confirm that Cr McDonald announced twice that she will leave the meeting before you [Mayor Pennisi] gave that order,” Cr Windle said.

“I do believe that she is within her rights to have that reflection recorded in the minutes.

“Councillor McDonald was trying to point out that she received a complaint about that meeting, and was trying to get some clarification before she was stopped. She didn’t get the opportunity to do that”.

CEO of the Southern Downs Regional Council, Dave Burges said that Council meetings are factual records of the events that take place.

“Council meetings are a factual recording of what transpires because this is a decision-making body,” Mr Burges said.

“The minutes do not record a conversation. They do not record comments. They do not record speculation. They do not record insults. They do not record anything but the facts of the meeting”.

However, the recorded minutes from the previous Council meeting contradict this statement and can be seen on the SDRC Facebook live stream.

The vote to change the minutes ultimately failed, with Councillors Stephen Tancred, Andrew Gale, Cameron Gow, Deputy Mayor Ross Bartley, and Mayor Vic Pennisi voting against the motion.

Councillor Marco Gliori abstained from the vote, which was recorded as being against the motion.

“We work in a democracy and have 360 staff. The media appears to be able to represent our minutes better than our own organisation has been able to.”

EVERYONE’S ENTITLED with Andrew Gale

Iknow its only autumn still, but I’ve been getting ahead of myself and doing some “spring cleaning.” Not because of habit or because I’m a lover of neatness and tidiness. It’s more out of necessity. If you see me getting about town sneezing don’t fret, I’m not contagious. It’s not the dreaded flu or worse. It’s just from ingesting dust etc via my nose. The stuff the deep clean always brings out.

The issue with having a big family is that you accumulate a lot of stuff over the years. Lots of stuff. Moving on, five of our seven kids have moved out of the old place. The trouble is, when they move out, they never seem to take all of their stuff with them. Some even return to the house at times with an entire other house full of stuff for a while before moving out again leaving more stuff behind.

Let’s just say it’s not the biggest thing I need to deal with. I’m just setting the scene.

One of the other biggest impacts on space at our place in reality is my propensity to collect stuff. Some of it stays outside in the sheds. Cars, Boats, engines, car parts etc. Although there is a fair overflow at the moment as we build yet another shed. (A man can never have enough sheds).

Other stuff I collect includes Star Wars Figurines. Model cars (1971-73

Mustangs only). Militaria and trench art to name but a few. All “appreciating assets”, but yes, they take up room.

Something else I seem to have collected a lot of over the years are clothes. T-shirts, jeans, suit jackets, boots and ties. I have a LOT of ties.

I didn’t even realise how many ties I had until last week when I began to “audit” my ties. I gave up counting them at 100. Yes, 100. Wow, that’s a lot of ties. After all, a man only has one neck.

Anyway, I gave the “collection” a great big “audit” and got them down to 75. Which is still excessive, but hey, that’s the price of being at least reasonably fashionable.

So where did they come from I hear you ask? Good question.

Many have been collected over the years from various things, some bought for events and many have been gifts. After all, what do you give a guy that seemingly has everything? Socks, undies and ties seem to fit that bill.

I also have a bit of an offbeat theory that they actually breed by themselves and multiply because there were ties in the wardrobe I had never ever seen before. I swear. After all, the atmosphere in the wardrobe is suitable. (Wink, wink) It’s kind of cozy and dark in there and it seems to me that if a red tie and a blue tie really liked each other and got together….. (Well, brown ties have got to come from somewhere –nobody would actually buy one.)

I’m off to test that theory now. Placing my best vintage Star Wars figures from 1977 in that wardrobe. Add a little bit of soft music, some champagne?

After all, have you seen what they’re selling for?

The Voice debate is taking a darker turn than it really needs to. I sit on the fence as to whether the Voice, as it is laid out, is good or bad, but I’m not sitting on the fence as to where I will vote. I had a letter to the editor come my way recently that made the usual points about us whitefellas not being responsible for the sins of the past (which is fine, as long as this view isn’t coming from religious folk who are always into sins of the past stretching back thousands of years). My parents arrived in Australia in the 1950s, at a time when indigenous children were being removed from their families in the cause of ‘assimilation’ (and these days the product of those efforts are being accused, ironically of being too white to be black… Can’t win can you?) For those of you who claim (like my correspondent) to be third or fourth generation Aussies, it’s worth reminding you that the last officially sanctioned massacre of indigenous Aussies took place in 1928. This isn’t ancient history. Now of course none of us are ‘responsible’ in the usual sense of the word for what anyone else does, not even our own children. But just as I feel guilty when I wonder around a war memorial, that other people died to preserve my way of life, I feel guilty when I think that I am stepping on, sleeping on other people’s land. Now before you tut tut, remember the land was never handed over from the previous owners and their families, to ours. It was just assumed (to put it euphemistically, or more bluntly, seized) by the British and then sold on to our forebears. Legally, fellow Australians, we are on shaky ground, stolen ground. That’s a ‘fact’ (to borrow something that our correspondent said). Even under British law, we haven’t got a leg (let alone land) to stand on. But let’s turn to the paradox about my position (which I think the polls suggest is many people’s position, and many indigenous Australian’s position in particular). That is, many of us aren’t keen on the Voice, as it is proposed, but absolutely

sure we are going to vote for it anyway. I wouldn’t mind betting that the majority of the majority who currently support The Voice (according to latest polling) are in the same boat, to use another risky Australian word. Here’s how it is going to work out. Let’s say The Voice gets up, and the Constitution is altered to reflect blah blah blah…. Let’s say the naysayers and the racists are right, and it turns into a disaster. No worries. We changed the Constitution once…and this is a democracy; we can change it again. But equally, it may turn out that the naysayers are wrong, and nothing goes wrong. A toothless Voice to parliament gets instituted (as the referendum has it) and nothing much happens, nothing improves and nothing goes horribly wrong. Then at least the majority of Australians will have signalled at the ballot box, for the first time since 1965, that we get it. We get that Captain Cook did the wrong thing at the time, and in the centuries since we haven’t put it right.

And a postscr ipt: My editorial comments last Friday about police needing some training in not killing but restraining knife-wielding attackers got feedback from not one but two former police officers. One of them, Cr Andrew Gale, sent me a sobering training video (which the other also referred to) showing that an assailant 20 or more feet away can make up that ground in less than the time taken to unholster a police issue Glock. I have to fess up that I looked into the issue further, and I was wrong… Police are TRAINED to shoot at the torso, as there are too many risks associated with aiming elsewhere. And yes, fatal police shootings are at an all time high, but the amount of police that are being injured and dying these days are also at one of their highest—and since just the year 2000, 123 Australian police officers have taken their own lives. It’s a tough job… and I’m glad I for one don’t have to do it…

Book exchange, the best short-term option

Jonathan O’Neill

The calls of the Killarney community for a dedicated library service have been heard but despite Councillors pushing for a shop-front library, a physical presence will be in the form of a Community Book Exchange.

Southern Downs Regional Council voted to establish a Community Book Exchange at the Killarney Co-Op to provide a browsing collection of library items to the Killarney district, but a time frame for its imple-

books

mentation has not been finalised.

Speaking to Council, Ann Ragh questioned whether the book exchange will be a temporary measure or a more permanent solution.

“It seems pretty obvious that we are to have a book exchange at the Killarney Co-Op, is this to be a temporary stop-gap or a permanent option?” Ms Ragh said.

“Will we be guaranteed we will get quality books, and will they be changed regularly? Are we going to have a librarian there at least once a week?

“Operating it as a community volunteer group, we can assure you that won’t be viable. The

community expects these essential services to be operated by Council.

We would appreciate some ongoing dialogue with Council over the next few months”.

Manager for Community and Cultural Services at Southern Downs Regional Council Michael Bell, quelled those concerns, saying the books that will be in the book exchange will be in good condition.

“The books that will go out in the book exchange will be the ones that Council donates. We are continuing annually to review the collection that we have,” Mr Bell said.

“When you talk about current books, will they be brand new,

no. They won’t be brand new books because they tend to go into the library service themselves.

“But we’re not talking about books with many years on them. six months in some cases, or they could be a few years old. But they will still be in good condition.

“What we want to do, is make sure the books that we provide, are fit for purpose.

“That will require some conversation with the community and the Killarney Co-Op because our intention is to donate those items.

“As we review our collection, we can provide updates to their catalogues”.

Councillor Jo McNally supported the motion for a book exchange to be established before a permanent library could be established, but questioned if “they will be books that people want to read and not sad old library books”.

Mr Bell reassured Councillors that the Killarney community will still receive quality books.

“Any books that are at the end of their life, we dispose of. They’re not going to be put in an exchange,” Mr Bell said.

“If there are old tattered books that weren’t going to be put in our library service, they will be disposed of”.

Stepping into a library? Four-to-eight year wait

Jonathan O’Neill oneill.jonathan1@outlook.com

It has been revealed that a shopfront library in the community of Killarney may not be viable for at least four to eight years, given current Council criteria.

At a Council information session in April, it was revealed that construction costs for a shopfront library in the town are estimated to cost between $500,000 and $1 million.

Southern Downs Regional Council Manager for Community and Cultural Services, Michael Bell told Council that several items of criteria have been put in place to trigger capital expenses.

“There was a number of criteria that Council agreed would need to be met to trigger building a new site,” Mr Bell said.

“It looked at population, secondary education, emergency services etcetera.

“When we looked at population, we were anywhere from four to eight years away because population growth at the moment is at about 0.5%, with the trigger being about a thousand people.

Killarney community member Ann Ragh questioned Council on these estimates when a modular building solution provided to Council was significantly cheaper.

“Please explain the five hundred thousand to one million dollars needed to construct a shopfront library on Council ground, especially when we had provided a completed plan of a building with only power and sewerage needing to be connected for three hundred thousand dollars?” Ms Ragh said.

“Also, what restoration works at Canning Park need to be done for a modular building to be placed there?”

Mr Bell responded that industry-standard estimation tools suggest anywhere from two thousand to three thousand dollars per square metre.

“We’re also guided by Queensland State Library Standards for the space that we should allow.

“For a population the size of Killarney, we should allow for two hundred and forty square metres. Generally, you need about six hundred to seven hundred thousand dollars for construction and furnishing, before you start adding anything else.

The biggest hurdle preventing a library from being built in the town is the squeeze on the budget which is expected to be handed down at the end of June.

“As Council are aware, the budget is becoming tighter and tighter. Our roads begin to show wear and tear, as does our underground infrastructure,” Mr Bell said.

“This becomes another item that com petes for the same balance. We would be actively looking for grant funding to facilitate some of these outcomes.

“What we want to get better at as a Council, is planning for these capital items.

“We need to plan for this early because these capital items do not come cheap.

We’re talking about anywhere from four to eight years away, but then of course prices continue to grow. Ideally, it will be through a grants program”

Councillor Marco Gliori voiced his support for a library to be built in Killarney, as per the wishes of the Killarney community following a survey in May.

“The threshold is a thousand people, but I think if we were a visionary Council, we’d be planning for that now,” Cr Gliori said.

“I know we’re planning the planning now, but I think we need to be proactive rather than reactive. We need to set this up as quickly as possible.

Councillor Sheryl Windle also voiced her support for the library, reminding Council not to let this sit by the wayside.

“The survey reflected that Killarney

citizens wanted a shopfront library. I really want to see that pushed ahead, and not just sat back,” Cr Windle said. “Surely there are funding opportunities

that pop up every now and again, so we can be aware. We need to do this before four to eight years because that is a long time to wait”.

“They will be

that people want to read and not sad old books”

Battle of the Gorge simmers in the shadow of '24 poll

Staff Reports

With less than a year to go until the next local council elections, early signs of the battle ahead continue to bob to the surface. Case in point, the ‘Battle of the Gorge’ continues, with opponents of plans to build concrete calverts in the Cambanoora Gorge pointing to damage at a river crossing downstream of the Gorge district as an example of what can go wrong - but council has pushed back, saying the approach planned for the Gorge, and the one enacted at Braithwaite’s Crossing Road off Junabee Road have little in common. The Cambanoora Gorge district has become a political football, with opponents of elements in the currently elected council, backed by environmentalists concerned about fauna damage in the Gorge keeping the heat on council over one of the ongoing nightmares of council roadworks crews - creek and river crossings.

Cambanoora Gorge protest group spokesperson Barbara George raised the issue of the newly-constructed Braithwaite’s Crossing (pictured) recently, with photos showing the lightly-used crossing has sustained serious damage only five months after construction. Describing shire Mayor Vic Pennisi as being

“identified as the subject matter expert on the gorge crossings”, the group outlined their fears for works still planned to deal with one of the shire’s harder-to-maintain roadways.

The protest group inspected the Braithwaites crossing earlier this month, claiming council had built the crossing “without any sediment control and made a big mess during construction.”

“It is a box culvert crossing which means it is not constantly under water, unlike the bedlevel crossings planned for Cambanoora which will be permanently submerged and

exposed to much faster river flows being higher up in the catchment,” Ms George said. While Braithwaites Crossing is subject to light traffic, “hundreds of 4WDs” were standard loads for the Cambanoora Gorge road.

“We are calling on the council to explain why Braithwaite’s Crossing has deteriorated so badly and so quickly, and to explain to ratepayers how this will be prevented at the gorge crossings,” Ms George concluded.

Council obliged. Director of Infrastructure Services Gary

Murphy first addressed the Braithwaite’s Crossing, were funded from Queensland Reconstruction Authority dollars, and built to the “minimum requirements of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) at the time of construction” - basically all that could be done with the funding council had received. As a low priority crossing, the Braithwaite’s crossing doesn’t have concrete across the full width of the culvert, and some lead-in bitumen on the approaches, but considering there have been “several” floods since construction (including a 2

metre flood on the 31st of January) the damage was “minor” he noted. “When the culvert is flooded, the crossing is subject to high velocity flow over the width of the crossing,” he said.

If those concerned about future damage to the planned $2 million works on the Gorge road wanted a better comparison, Mr Murphy pointed to Watson’s Crossing “which has been in place for many years on the Condamine River Road and is a full width concrete causeway that has sustained no damage from flood events.”

The four crossings to be installed on the Condamine River Road, similarly, will be full-width, concrete bed-level crossings, “with cut off walls down to bedrock and having additional concrete wings/ approach slabs extending between 5 and 10 metre up the approaches on either side.”

These concrete ‘wings’ would help deal with the “high velocity flow during flood events” Mr Murphy noted, with bitumen laid “above the concrete extremities to aid vehicle traction and stabilise the remainder of the crossing approaches from scouring.” Mr Murphy pointedly added that the new floodway structures would allow the “normal flow of water” including “facilitating the movement of fish and wildlife on their natural migratory paths”.

Highlight "black spots" for Council

Most of us have come across pockets of the Southern Downs where visibility on the roads is challenging, even in good weather.

Local council are now calling for help with "targeting notorious traffic black spots" with the potential for upgrades, and see this work as part of their "commitment to building better, safer roads".

Southern Downs Regional Council "will apply to address traffic areas of concern through the Australian Government’s 2024/25 Black Spot Program and will submit specific projects for approval following community feedback".

SDRC Mayor Vic Pennisi said the Black Spot Program is an effective measure to improve road safety with "road crashes and fatal accidents" that "disrupt and destroy lives".

“Ongoing upgrades and improvements made through the Black Spot Program play a crucial role in improving road

safety and addressing identified areas of concern," he said.

“The Australian Government and Council are committed to working together to build better, safer roads across the region for all road users, whether they are

locals or visitors who travel here to enjoy everything our unique region has to offer.

“The Black Spot Program is a vital component of Council’s comprehensive program of road works designed to ensure

that the most hazardous roads are targeted for improvement."

Mayor Pennisi said the community "know our local roads best" and encourages submissions for consideration.

Under its funding criteria, the

government classifies black spots "as either reactive or proactive" with reactive sites as roads or intersections with a "crash history" and proactive sites as those "considered potentially hazardous".

Black Spot projects that meet the funding criteria include safety works such as improving sight distances, improving curves, removing road side hazards, increasing safety at intersections and providing protection to pedestrians.

Council’s proposed projects are to be submitted and approved by the Federal Government before commencement.

The Australian Government’s Black Spot Program is funded through the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts and is administered through the Queensland Government’s Department of Transport and Main Roads.

Submissions are to be sent before June 7 via https://www. sdrc.qld.gov.au/living-here/ have-your-say or email to mail@ sdrc.qld.gov.au

Continued from previous page...

"My focus was to assist with designing the layout of the book and researching some of the brief historical notes which accompany certain topics," Paula said. "My fondest memory is when I had the opportunity to talk to people about various topics connected with this project, in many cases they responded with ‘Gee I never knew that.’ It made me realise how this book would contribute to the wealth of knowledge within our community, creating and strengthening connections, and ensuring the longevity of those memories.”

When asked if she had learned more about her home town by being involved at the grassroots of the project Paula’s response was, “Yes absolutely, and I still have a lot more to learn. The most amazing fact was finding out the Granite Belt is not only home to a wealth of tin, but also to many other gemstones not wildly know about, for example, amethysts, green, yellow and blue sapphires, topaz, citrine and various quartzes. To see them cut and polished up took my breath away."

Many of those present were keen to voice their opinions of the book. Roxane Scott of The Summit commented, “I am looking forward to learning much more about Stanthorpe’s history. Being a local resident, I will be keen to revisit things from my own past and seeing photos of the town past and present, and while things will be different, I think it will still look similar.”

Rotary President, Jim Barnes told us, “The book is quite comprehensive, showing some of the early images of Stanthorpe and what they look like today. It is a good record of how the town has changed over the last 150 years.”

Mayor Vic Pennisi told the Town & Country Journal, “History is a funny thing if you don’t record it as it is created you tend to forget it. This is a great example of trying to put together retrospectively what has happened over the last 150 years. As you flick through the book you realise communities are built over a long period of time. They are not built by governments they are built by people. People who are in this room today have experienced at least half of this history of the Granite Belt. I remember I started school and used slates, today children go to school with an iPad, they may be about the same size but they are significantly different.”

Two Kiwis: 2,000 plus photos and more to come?

Selina Venier editor@thedailyjournal.ink

Can anyone believe that “it took two Kiwis to publish a book about Stanthorpe’s 150-year history?”

That was one of the lingering comments of the May 28 launch of “Tin Town! – a pictorial passage through 150 years of Stanthorpe’s history: 18722002” and was shared the strongest supporters of Sandra McEwan and Paula Boatfield –Keith Green and Brett Boatfield.

Keith, who’s Sandra’s partner, and Brett, who most know as “Boaty” and is married to Paula, wore the widest of grins at the launch, just as proud as the rest of the town and our Mayor, Vic Pennisi.

“Such change happens in our lifetime and to have it recorded pictorially, is a wonderful thing … what a great job Sandra and

Paula have done,” he said at the official launch that was his "privilege", with more support from Councillor Stephen Tancred.

“All of council is very proud of you two ladies,” Cr Tancred

said, adding, “All the community are proud, as represented here today.”

Behind-the-scenes during the book’s preparation “there were a few challenges”, but as Boaty

told our newspapers and all present, “It took two Kiwis to do it.”

More in The Stanthorpe Record tomorrow, including what some of these locals had

to say and insights about the book's possible "part two". For anyone who would like a copy, visit the Stanthorpe news-agency, opposite the post office (cost is $75).

Sandra McEwan thanks the May 28 crowd for their support at the launch and says she and Paula Boatfield are "proud of themselves". She also thanked original supporter, Doug Mackenzie, who passed away, SDRC and Towncrier Bob Townshend (pictured).

Morning tea digs in deep

Kim Hanson-Ross kimberley.hansonross@icloud.com

Warwick Cancer Council Raised $2,000 at their “Biggest Morning Tea” on Friday May 26, hosting over 100 people at the Warwick Community Centre.

The Sounds of Country Band entertained on the day, as well as Councillor Marco Gliori, who recited ballads about the local area.

Councillor’s Sheryl Windle, Andrew Gale and Stephen Tancred also attended the event.

“Due to the generosity of local businesses and people, we had a huge number of raffle prizes and Lucky Door prizes,” Warwick Cancer Council Publicity Officer, Rhonda Cooney, said.

“Warwick Cancer Council members would like to thank the Warwick Community for their sup-

port and would like to remind people we are always looking for new members to support our fundraising efforts,” Ms Cooney added.

Money raised at these events are sent to the Queensland Cancer Council, which are than distributed to areas like the Olive McMahon Lodge, who provide a place to stay for people undergoing treatment, as well as transportation. Money is also used for research, and helping families who are struggling with a diagnosis within the family.

“Our main three things would be prevention, such as a Slip, Slop, Slap Campaigns, supporting families with cancer, and research,” Ms Cooney said.

She further said that the event was “great. Everyone had a good time. People were saying how they would love to come back again next year, and it’s really good for us as volunteers to hear that.”

Supporting palliative care

Selina Venier editor@thedailyjournal.ink

With certain exuberance, the heart of the local Cancer Support Group, Debbie-Ann Wilmot was pleased to see a dream come to fruition on May 24.

Mrs Wilmot was at the Stanthorpe Hospital to honour the memory of Peter Shatte and Joyce Willard through a generous donation to the Palliative Care Ward.

Two wheelchair beds were presented to Stanthorpe

Hospital's Director of Nursing, Chris Smith and Medical Superintendent, Dan Halliday.

“T hese chairs will make a huge difference to our palliative care patients at Stanthorpe Hospital," Mr Smith said. "I am so grateful for the ongoing support of the Stanthorpe Cancer Support Group."

He also thanked the families of the late Peter Shatte and Joyce Willard "for thinking about us during such a difficult time”.

"Peter Shatte will be remembered by generations of young Stanthorpe Gremlins Rugby League footballers for his commitment and dedication to a sport he loved," Mrs Wilmot said of Mr Shatte's legacy.

"For decades, he coached and mentored many young players and made a difference in the lives of hundreds of boys."

The Southern Downs volunteer thanked Kerry Shatte for representing the family for the donation-giving, saying, "I’m sure Peter would be happy to know this was done in his honour."

Mrs Wilmot described Joyce Willard as "an amazing lady who sat for years in front of Gracious Giving, selling her hand-knitted teddy bears, raising funds".

Les Willard was unable to attend the gathering this

week but all acknowledged Mrs Willard's "commitment to helping people in the community".

"As a mark of respect and to honour Peter’s and Joyce’s memory, we purchased these two special chairs especially for palliative care in their honour and with plaques attached," Mrs Wilmot said.

"If palliating patients' families want to take them for a picnic in

the grounds, or even for a walk along the creek to feed the ducks, these chairs are wonderful, extremely soft and have special seating to stop sores.They can fold down to a bed if sitting up is too much and are light and easy to push."

Acknowledgement was publicly offered to all who give to the Stanthorpe Cancer Support Group.

Four time's a charm for Eco Expo

Contributed

Planning for the 4th annual Stanthorpe Eco Expo on October 15 is well advanced, with dates confirmed and speakers being finalised in preparation for what promises to be a truly great day of big ideas, sharing information and making connections.

The idea for the expo was conceived to bring the Stanthorpe community together to promote sustainable living choices, encourage organic farming and gardening practices, and nurture information sharing among participants.

As the 4th year, the organising committee has some exceptional speakers lined up to deliver talks on a variety of topics. Scott Hall, a Syntropic Farming advocate, farmer and educator from the Gold Coast hinterland, will be the main speaker. Syntropic farming is a revolutionary agro-

forestry farming method that creates ecosystems of abundance by working in cooperation with nature. Also confirmed is Rob Young, a dung beetle specialist from Dung Beetle

Ecosystem Engineers in Toowoomba. Rob will be talking about how dung beetles can benefit every farm and backyard.

The Stanthorpe Eco Expo

will feature local stall holders who align with organic and sustainable principles. There will be fun children’s activities, delicious vegetarian food available, musicians, the Granite Belt

Sustainable Action Network, native plant sales, wildlife carers, the Stanthorpe Rare Wildflower Consortium, solar power specialists, a food preserving demonstration by Valerie Pearson of Simply Living and much, much more. It’s really a great day out in the serene gardens of the Ananda Palli for the young, the old and anyone in between who shares an interest in living a more sustainable lifestyle and cultivating practical skills to care for our precious earth.

The venue on October 15 will again be Ananda Palli, on Back Creek Road, Severnlea. This year will build on the success of past Eco Expos with an experienced team (pictured) preparing to deliver a fantastic event.

Parks debacle

From our recent reports on the removal of play equipment in the following Warwick parks - Arcoola Park (Wilkinson Street), Apex Park (Yarrawonga Street), Meadow Bank (Hans Borgar Court), Mountain View Estate Park (Rebecca Court/Bracker Road), Shilliday Park (Shilliday Street) and Pennant Park (Fairway Drive), these have been some the comments received via email to our newspaper:

To the Editor -

We need to preserve all our parklands, whether it's a designated space for playground equipment or existing natural space with native flora and fauna.

It appears if a "Park" does not generate income ie. sporting grounds, it is regarded as a financial liability. Let's invest in our green spaces because our region is a great place to live, work, stay and play.

Warwick resident

Shame, shame, shame, on you SDRC (Southern Downs Regional Council) -

The ripping out with a bobcat of play equipment in ours parks is a disgrace. Have you ever taken your grandchildren to your local park to discover all there is left is grass? What are they going to do with that they can have that in their own backyard. Saying that we can go to one of the bigger parks is not always available not everyone is able to get to these parks which is why we need these smaller local parks that we can walk to. We are supposed to be getting our children off devices and out to play so what do the council do? Rip out all the swings etc. Great, thanks.

Not sure where our rates (which are one of the most expensive around) are being spent but it's sure not for our ratepayers. I, for one, can't wait to the next elections so we can try to get a more caring, community minded, council elected.

G.H.

Glyphosate

safe?

The article “More safety concerns about glyphosate”, contributed by the ‘Green Gals’ on 18 May does a serious disservice to your readers. It is said words without scientific evidence are just opinions. Indeed, the opinions voiced in this article contradict the overwhelming expert scientific global consensus that glyphosate-based herbicides are entirely safe to use.

Every independent expert science-based regulator globally has comprehensively concluded the use of glyphosate is safe, based on an overwhelming body of evidence. This not only includes Australia and the USA, but Europe. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) produced a comprehensive 11,000page review of glyphosate in June 2021, followed by identical findings from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in May 2022. Their evidence makes clear that Green Gals’ opinion is completely incorrect.

Further, it is patently false that “dozens of countries worldwide have banned glyphosate use”. While a few local councils in Australia banned its use, they fail to note that many have since reversed those decisions, such as Byron Bay shire after recognising the decisions were

incorrect and not based on any evidence.

A mammoth, decades long body of literature on glyphosate and its use includes the American Agricultural Health Study. This 30 year long, comprehensive, and ongoing study of over 89,000 famers, their spouses and chemical applicators confirms that, even in those with the highest exposure (people who actually use and apply it) there is no discernible negative health effect from glyphosate use. The importance and utility of Glyphosate in farming and protecting our natural environment from invasive weeds is significant. Misleading and false opinion pieces are a disservice to readers and undermine the farming sustainability challenge that faces Australia and the world.

Matthew Cossey CEO CropLife Australia

Barton ACT 2600

Publisher’s note: This newspaper believes in letting all sides have their say about an issue. Stating “……glyphosate is safe, based on an overwhelming body of evidence” seems to go against the findings of many other legitimate studies, and the many lawsuits settled by Monsanto in recent years.

Letter from Wilkinson Street residences

To SDRC Mayor, Councillors, Chris Collingwood, SDRC residents & The Small Newspaper Company (Daily Journal and The Town & Country Journal)

Re: Park Closures

We are primarily invested in the replacement and beautification of Arcoola Park on Wilkinson St, however, acknowledge all residents throughout the SDRC feel the same about the many play areas which have been destroyed leaving bare blocks.

It is with disappointment that we note that at a public meeting in

2015 attended by Councillor Pennisi, our current Mayor, we were assured that Arcoola Park would remain a community play area. Since that meeting and in more recent years, a video was sent to SDRC, when again, there was speculation that the park may be closed. At this time, we were again given assurance the park would remain open.

The 26th May edition of The Daily Journal article contains a statement from the SDRC Manager of Parks and Operations, Chris Collingwood which confirms that the reason the play equipment was removed is because the soft fall needed replacing and some of the play equipment may have needed maintenance. It seems the removal was easiest NOT in the best interest of the community. It equates to having a shirt with a missing button, rather than replacing the button you throw out the shirt, with no funds to replace.

Who made this decision and who did the “high level and considered examination?”

Public consultation – as per The Daily Journal answer received from SDRC - will only occur if and when the parks were reinstated. Time frame for this please?

When will Councillors consider the replacement of equipment and park areas? Mayor Pennisi indicated there are no funds available and replacement may not occur.

Please provide clarification on what constitutes a green space. Imagining it will be a bare, grassed area.

What happened to all the play equipment that was still in working order? From our observations it appeared to be destroyed, trashed, and would end up as land fill. Please let us know if it has been repurposed or if will be sold to recoup some funds.

At this stage it appears to be very poor management, waste of resources and a huge decline in the community spaces. We welcome some feedback indicating SDRC

Layla’s teamwork at council

Selina Venier editor@thedailyjournal.ink

Driving around the Southern Downs at the moment, it’s not unusual to see advertisements for jobs at Council.

One of their newest workers didn’t respond to an advertisement however and has quite a specific role - attending to the

needs of Warwick librarian.

Layla, the worker’s trained assistance “Border Collie/Moodle cross” companion, is said to “offer unwavering support”.

Southern Downs Regional Council media has shared that the Warwick librarian unfortunately developed severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and “found it hard to manage her anxiety”.

“That was until Layla came into her life,”

Classical Crossover music

an SDRC spokesperson said of the Warwick librarian. “Layla is trained to recognise specific distress signs and provide calming support to overcome panic attacks. With Layla by her side, (the librarian) is more confident and grounded in the workplace.”

There’s a special connection between the companions, one that isn’t seen in many workplaces.

“Assistance dogs enable people with mental health issues to do the everyday activities that most people take for granted, such as travelling on public transport, going to the shops, going to work and taking part in social activities, which may have become overwhelming for them,” the Warwick librarian said.

“My job at the Southern Downs Regional Library in Warwick became quite difficult at times due to my debilitating PTSD, but because of Layla, I am now more comfortable in the workplace. She is my lifeline and she enables me to live a more normal life.

“Layla alerts me to triggers before I notice them. She keeps me grounded, helping prevent and calm panic. I couldn’t do what I do now without her.”

SDRC’s Manager People and Culture

Dianne Woolley said that council “strives to meet the needs of its people on a caseby- case basis”.

valuing community spaces & resident’s needs.

Yours sincerely, Wilkinson Street, Warwick, Residents

Power prices

Dear Editor

Am I missing something?

The May-day Budget Papers delivered with much fanfare three weeks ago state 'Inflation has peaked and begun to moderate … expected to fall to 3¼ per cent in 2023–24'.

Today's headline (26/5) is hardly re-assuring 'Soaring cost of power bills a shocker for small business' with 'electricity prices set to soar by up to 29%'. Not only small business, but every business and everybody in the country will feel the pain.

The Budget compounds the problem by promising to pour more funds into the Net Zero obsession, adding yet another layer of bureaucracy, a National Net Zero Authority.

Argentina is an example of the policies embraced today by Australia.

Last year inflation in Argentina rose to over 100%.That country is bankrupt. The Australian government is gambling irresponsibly with borrowed money on a horse called Galloping Inflation.

Cheap, reliable coal-fired power gave us the wealthy country we enjoy today.

Energy is ultimately nuclear - the Sun is nuclear, Earth’s inner core is nuclear. The future is nuclear, not the egregiously named 'renewables'.

And the transition energy is from hydrocarbons, including the fossil fuel, coal, which is in such abundance it will never be exhausted before the power of the atom is confidently harnessed for peaceful purposes.

Cheers

“We value the diversity of our organisation and appreciate that there is not a ‘onesize-fits-all’ solution to approaching the working environment and our people.”

Visitors to the Southern Downs Regional Library in Warwick might spot Layla in her companionship role, and council reminds locals that it’s best “not to approach guide, hearing or assistance dogs when they are wearing their working vest to allow them to focus on their important job”.

SDRC said library users who may be concerned about allergies are encouraged to still visit the library as Layla “will not be required to interact with visitors”.

Adam Reynolds returned from injury and was the star of the show, having the ball on a string for most of the night and clearly taking player of the match honours in a superb display.

It wasn’t without its tense moments however, as they almost let a late lead slip, and appeared to have blown their big advantage, only for the Bunker to intervene and correctly penalise a Warriors player for illegal interference. That was the first of two Saturday night shocks, with the Canberra Raiders getting the better of a depleted Rabbitohs side to keep their lofty spot on the ladder.

In a high-scoring affair, the Raiders saw a big lead evaporate right before their eyes in the second half, only to stage a comeback of their own as the lead regularly changed hands throughout the night.

The conclusion of the match was overshadowed by some scary scenes however, as Canberra second rower Corey Harawira-Naera fell to the ground and appeared to suffer from seizure like symptoms.

It was a terrifying moment for players and fans alike, but thankfully he was able to receive good care and sent out a message the following day that he was in good health.

We also saw the Dolphins pick up another win, this time over a struggling Dragons side that has been relegated to the bottom of the ladder.

The Dolphins are firmly in the top eight with their seventh win of the season so far, and their fans can start to dream about the possibility of making the finals.

Players will return from Origin duties this week, and it sets up a blockbuster clash on Saturday night as the Cronulla Sharks play host to the Broncos. Both teams have top four aspirations and will be viewing this game as a must win, particularly with players set to miss more games in a busy upcoming schedule.

The Dolphins also face a tough test as they embark on their first trip to New Zealand to face off with the Warriors on Saturday afternoon in what should be a cracking contest.

The Long Paddock with Gerard Walsh

This week, I am heading to the saleyards with about 20 weaners and one cow.

Last week, I had a look at the George and Fuhrmann Stanthorpe Weaner Sale and saw some pens of the best weaners you would hope to see. Ours certainly don’t rate with the best from Stanthorpe.

Generally, the lighter the beast, the more cents per kilogram they make.

Only a small percentage of the yarding was heifers which indicates producers are keeping a lot of heifers as future breeders.

If the same is reflected around the nation, that will see an increase in cattle numbers.

It is always a nice trip to Stanthorpe, often for me it is to take photos at sporting events.

The International Football Club grounds are right beside the Stanthorpe Showgrounds and Saleyards.

Not Necessarily the News

Rolf, Roman... and Donald

So Rolf Harris is dead. For someone who grew up on a regular diet of Rolf, the revelations about his despicable behaviour came as a shock. It shows that sex offenders in the ‘good old days’ used to be get away with things they can’t get away with today. But can they? After all, it looks like that the Republicans are going to renominate Donald Trump for the presidential elections. Remarkable, not because he was found guilty in a rape trial recently, but remarkable because long long before that, Trump made it clear what type of guy he really is when it comes to women. I’m not even talking about the Access Hollywood tape that emerged during the campaign where he said being famous allowed him to sexually assault women and get off scot free. I’m talking about the endless interviews he did with Howard Stern, in which he made luridly clear his attitude towards women, particularly young women. And then there is the 26 women who have claimed that Trump in one form or other sexually assaulted them. It’s a consistent body of evidence that surprisingly, those on the Republican side, including the conservative Christian lobby, magically ignore. Dirty old men are the poster boys of pedophilia and sexual abuse, but rich old men are the reality. Rolf might be dead, but Roman Polanski and Donald Trump still roam

Covid gone with loo cleaner?

Hubby went for groceries last weekend and on the list was toilet cleaner. Good, he found it, first tick. Then I was the one using it (lose the tick) and noticed the label saying it "kills COVID-19 in 5 minutes". Seeking out the empty bottle, a different coloured label but same brand, it "kills COVID-19 in 10 minutes". I had neither the time or real interest to look at the difference in ingredients to herald the quicker "killing" but did wonder? How can the company make such a claim? And lo and behold, could someone very riskily consume it, thinking it medicinal? Surely not, hopefully not. All in all, there does seem to be a resurgence of the spread in local parts, with many people off work in the circles I move in. Keep well into flu season too. Not asking about claims of killing those germs for fear of something even more unreasonable.

On Wednesday May 24, the bowls afternoon was sponsored by our club, with 16 bowlers on the Green, plus visitors. Condition of Play was the Highest Winning Score.

Results: Dar ryl Phillips, Percy Cutmore and Max Holder def. Pamela Kerr, Ray Southee and Edwin Welsh 18-14; Nat Kumseewad, Max Balfour and Trevor Wright def. Trish Owens, Denis Sterling and Bryan Wright 18-17; Barry Perks and Russell Bean def. Michael Dungey and John Ruhle 22-20; Ken Hayes and Brian Black def. James White, and Phil Wagner 19-15. Cong ratulations to the Winners, Barry and Russell (Russell said Barry played like a real Champion), and to the Runner-up, Ken and Brian.

Social Bowls and the 2nd Round of Self Selected Triples was played on Saturday May 27 (as there were only five teams, the competition started in the 2nd Round column on the Competition Sheet).

Result of SS Triples: Peter Guy, Doug Christensen and Russell Bean def. Gary Cooper, Richard Tartan and Bryan Wright 37-10. (See coming events for the next

call-up).

Result of Social Bowls: Michael Dungey and John Ruhle def. Max Balfour and Ken Hayes 17-9. The Score does not reflect what a great game this was - Max and Ken would be holding several shots at times but that young fellow, John Ruhle, would come in and get the shot. Great play John.

Jennings shines in vital Wattles victory

Glyn Rees editor@thedailyjournal.ink

Travis Burn’s Stillwater

Pastoral Company top grade Wattles outfit fought off a constant home side threat from the rampant Valleys Roosters on Sunday May 28 to lead 16 – 8 after the first 40 minutes before driving home to win 28 – 24 in a nail biter at Toowoomba’s John McDonald Sports Complex.

Wattles prolific try scoring centre Austin Jennings impressed and crossed for a try double in his side’s five try total.

It was a memorable family affair for Jennings.

Aside from being part of the Warriors combination that finally brought the Roosters current premiership run to a halt on Sunday, his young cousin Aiden Suhan received the call up to make his first-grade debut on the wing.

The 18-year-old 190cm, 102kg Suhan has been revelling in the Warriors under 19 line-up since relocating from Charleville, boasting a ten try total over his five games played.

Valleys top graders were undefeated coming in to Sunday’s stoush with reigning premiers Wattles, having pocketed the premiership points in all six of

their 2023 season outings, while the Warriors had banked the rewards of just three wins.

With both sides crossing for five touchdowns a piece, Wattles win weighed heavily on the boots of goalkicker Brayden Paix with four from five finding the target.

The win has Wattles heading in the right direction on the ladder as they climb through opponents chasing a top-level rung.

Team skipper Ty Gardner

praised his team highly for a gutsy performance given the Warriors less than convincing start to the season.

The Warriors lost five-eight Tom Morris and winger Mitch Bourke pre-match injured, with Suhan and veteran reserve grader Dale McAntee lining up on Wattles edges.

Try scorer Jennings, Mr Reliable Nick Van Der Poel and Gardner shone for those in green and gold, while teenage

bench forward Harry Schwenke and McAntee were also among the better performers.

Coach Burns said they "lost some games we should have won leading up to the win over Valleys, but the boys showed improvement in a classy performance despite some regular starters out".

Wattles top grade side are perched on the window sill of the premiership ladder top five in sixth place, and have a chance

to advance when they meet the Highfields Eagles this weekend at home in Clifton

Wattles 28 (Austin Jennings 2, Nick Van Der Poel, Tyson Stevens, Dale McAntee tries; Brayden Paix 4 goals) defeated Valleys 24 (Matthew Waites 2, Dylan Chown, Nick Ryals, Hegh Sedger tries; Daniel Bain 2 goals).

Reserve Grade

‘Tony Morris Tiling’ Wattles 32 (Dale McAntee, Tim Hentschel, Braydon Wilson, Josh Henry, Jordan Henry, Jack Duggan tries Jordan Henry 4 goals) defeated Valleys 10 (Jordan Coleman, Thomas Fenwick tries; Jaren Bender 2 goals).

Under 19 Valleys 42 (Tarrant Whittingham 2, Braiden Driscoll 2, Matthew Williams, George Jerrard, Jack Stenzel, Jone Taoba tries; Jacob Robinson 3, Rueben Tatow 2 goals) defeated ‘Black Toyota, Warwick’ Wattles 6 (Aiden Suhan try; Koby De Luca goal).

Stanthorpe golfers had a more relaxed day on the course for the final Saturday competition of May, a medley 4BBB stableford event. With the club championships now complete, the 4Ball was a much less intense event. The day was sponsored by club

members, Lisa and David Stuart and we thank them for the day. After an early morning frost, the day turned out to be mild and sunny, although it got rather cool towards the end of the afternoon which prompted some players to suggest that maybe 11.30am could be a better time to start in the winter months.

Barry Jones had a very good round, bounced back well from the championships, and he and

his playing partner, Tod Beckett, returned a winning score of 47 points to win the day. In second place was the team of Brad Silver and Filomena Silver with 45 points. Filomena, who has recently come into competition golf, had some very good scores, adding 26 points to their total.

Men’s pin shots were won by Darryl Boekholt at 3, Chris Binge at 12 and Barry Jones at 17. No takers for the ladies’ 3rd

and Lisa Stuart took the rest at 12 and 17. Jamie Stuart (visitor) held the pro-pin at 1/10, Barry Jones (again) held 5/14 and Brendan McMillan collected at 9/18.

Gary Kirby was well pleased with his round, especially at the par 5, 11th hole. Two good hits up the fairway and on to the green, very close to the pin. Nailed the putt for the eagle and five points added to the score. Be great if it was that easy all the

time.

Next Saturday could be a bit more intense with the June monthly medal and putting competition being played. Sponsor for the day is Andersens of Stanthorpe, courtesy of eagle man, Gary Kirby. Time sheet for the day is on the board at the club and tee off from 11.30am for the afternoon session.

Tate Brombal and Iowane Berra scored two tries each as the Warwick Cowboys beat Newtown 54-6 in A grade at Father Ranger Oval on Sunday (May 28).

Damien Beresford scored a try on debut in A grade at hooker and Matt Henry landed seven goals in his first A-grade appearance this season, including two from touch.

Halfback and captain Mitch Wilson beat four defenders with 30 seconds to go to score a try and cap off a great game.

Coach Col Speed said Beresford had a great debut for Warwick.

“Matt Henry went really well on the wing and solved our goalkicking problem,” he said.

In reserve grade, regular A grader Jarred Bradfield was strong after an early-season injury and did well to break the defence and score in the north east corner late in the second half.

A GRADE: WARWICK 54 (Tate Brombal 2, Iowane Berra 2, Morgan Byrne, Nick Donghi, Damien Beresford, Jack Speed, Tyrelle Ross, Mitch Wilson tries, Matt Henry 7 goals) d NEWTOWN 6.

RESERVE GRADE: WARWICK 36 (Logan McGrady-Dennison 2, Corey Stewart, Moli Manue, Jarred Bradfield, Augustus Macdade, Carl Gale tries, Jayden Clevin 4 goals)

Brisbane runner Peter Bracken has won the 21st Warwick Pentathrun for the first time in his sixth appearance.

The ladies winner was Olivia Lennon who won overall for the first time since 2019.

“I was happy with my runs, I have done three marathons but my best distance is 10 kilometres,” she said.

Both train with Brisbane Elite Run Training (BERT).

Bracken won this year in two hours, 31 minutes, in the five events which make a top distance of 42km, equal to a marathon.

His best time in Warwick is 2.28.

Fellow BERT member Jayden Little was second in the men’s event overall.

Bracken was happiest with his 5km at Sandy Creek which he won by 42 seconds.

Lennon said she loved the pentathrun, there is a great sense of camaraderie.

“Warwick is a beautiful place as is the drive to Warwick,” she said.

Former Warwick High School student Dan Symonds won the open cross country at Morgan Park.

Warwick endurance runner

Ann Bradford and Tim George from Killarney were two of the overall placegetters in the various age groups.

The 2023 Pentathrun attracted 300 runners who competed in all five events and more than 500 overall competitors.

Galore Redbacks suffered their first loss this season at Warwick Credit Union oval at the hands of country rivals Goondiwindi.

The match started well for the Redbacks with Tom Allison kicking the first two goals of the game. The Hawks replied with two goals of their own and took a two-point advantage into the first quarter.

The second quarter was an arm wrestle for the first 10 minutes

with both sides attacking the footy hard and putting their bodies on the line. The Redbacks finally hit the scoreboard through Cam Goulter who swooped on the ground ball inside 50 and converted.

The flood gates opened briefly for the Redbacks with Josh Read kicking the next within a minute and captain Steve Grogan booting two of his own to put his team in front. Samson Lowney kicked truly just before halftime giving the Redbacks a 13-point lead at the main break.

The Hawks came out strongly in the third quarter reducing

the margin to seven points early in the quarter. Jake Peasnell put his nomination in for goal of the year with a miracle toe poke mid air curling through the big posts. The Hawks replied straight away and went into the final huddle trailing the Reddies by seven points.

Goondiwindi were full of momentum to start the last quarter, charging from stoppages and putting the Redbacks defence under the pump.

Andrew Politch worked tirelessly on Hawks spearhead Otoole, having the upper hand for majority of the day. The

Hawks forwards were too dangerous kicking the first three goals of the quarter and racing to the lead.

Samson Lowney kicked his second goal to breathe some hope back into the Redbacks but the Hawks responded immediately with their fourth of the quarter ending the Redbacks home ground dominance with a 10.7.67 - 9.1.55 defeat.

The Redbacks head to Toowoomba on Saturday, (June 3) to take on the Toowoomba Tigers who are coming off an impressive win over crosstown rivals South Toowoomba Bombers.

The Redbacks are desperate for a win to get their season back on track after a couple of very tight games.

May 28 results for the Rifle Club

The glorious autumn day had quite a few visitors playing including a group of 14 men and women from McLeod Country Club.

I asked one group what they thought of our course and they all replied, "Not only do you put on such a nice day, you are very lucky to have a course in such great condition and it is a credit to your green-keeper and volunteers."
