Council is standing by the old adage about the Omniscient help ing those who help them selves.
It’s looking unlikely that Council will approve $50k for the flood weary Warwick
Gymnastics Club unless they pursue other avenues of funding first.
A Council report acknowl edges the difficulties faced by the club, which has flooded multiple times in 2022. But "there are contrary views on the responsibilities of each party in relation to the flood ing problems being experi enced on their land".
Council will provide "some level of support" that is "fair and reasonable taking into account the complex nature" of the issues. The risk, the report continues, is that other affected community groups might "approach Council for funding when disasters occur".

It was poignant that on the morning after the late Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, was laid to rest in England, sixteen new Southern Downs
residents took part in an Australian Citizenship Ceremony, with her image overlooking pro ceedings on 20th September.
For the first time, the Southern Downs Youth Council were part of the ceremony, offering their input on life within the region, in what one new citizen described as "very valuable to see and hear".
The new residents who offi cially took up citizenship varied in age and culture, Southern Downs Regional Council
Mayor Vic Pennisi affirming the vibrant nation to which we belong.
"The first Australian citizen ship ceremony was held on 3rd
February 1949," he began, in the presence of SDRC CEO Dave Burgess and other Councillors, as well as local town crier Bob Townshend.

The (Town and) Country Journal has marked a year of publication by… putting on a little weight, and going up a dress size or two.
The decision to go tabloid has not been made lightly either—but support from readers and advertisers has given publisher Gordon Bratby and his team including fellow owners Peter Schmidt and Gerard Walsh, plenty of food for thought….
The result will be more space to spread out in terms of news and fea tures, and…a week or two hence, some
thing to start the fire or put in the litter tray.
“I’m excited by the change,” Gordon says. “We will still be printing the Daily Journal and the Stanthorpe Record on our own press, but the growth of the Country Journal has meant that we really are running out of press time—and had to make a choice.”
Next week’s edi tion will be the first of the new format with the Daily Journal and Stanthorpe Record remaining in their ‘mini tabloid’ shape that arrived in the Southern Downs in January 2021.
You are invited to connect and engage with Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi and Councillors as they travel to venues across the region to meet with our community.
Come along and share your challenges, triumphs and innovative ideas to help make Southern Downs a great place to live, work, play and stay.
Please RSVP Tuesday 4 Oct 2022 on 07 4661 0359.

A great place to live, w k, play and stay.
Afortnight
ago, a weary office in Brisbane's George Street invented a cheat's sheet to conflicts of interest claims in local councils. Why? Because local councillors across Queensland need help to separate fact from fiction and quit wasting everybody's time.
The Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning has produced the cheat sheet called "Managing Conflicts of Interest" in an easy-to-read flowchart. A COI for dummies if you will.
Step one asks the councillor whether or not they (or the other councillor they are accus ing) even have a real conflict of
interest. It begins with Ordinary Business, which is NOT a con flict of interest. For instance, if you have an interest than is no greater than anyone else's inter est in the community such as being a dog owner or a cattle grower or a resident of Stanthorpe.
The same goes for adoptions of budgets, rates and charges, planning schemes or amend ments for council areas. This is just ordinary business and you do not have a conflict of interest and neither does the fellow sit ting across the chamber from you.
You also don't have a conflict over religious beliefs, member ships of political parties, non-ex ecutive membership of non-profit clubs, or a student, former student, parent or grand parent of a student at a local
school.
If your poker club is support ing the garden club's gnome drive, you don't have a conflict of interest.
Prescribed COIs
There are situations in which councillors should not partici pate in decisions which include being a spouse, parent, child or sibling of a partner in a business partnership or being on the board. If you own a company the is under consideration. If these companies that you are a close associate of are donating money, contracting with council, making an application of some sort, or dealing with employ ment matters then you must notify the CEO and take no part in the decision making, meet ings, briefings.
Declarable COIs
If you have one of these, you
have to leave the room. You have a declarable conflict if you have a close personal relation ship or are a close associate or close family member in a com pany or entity that you or a relat ed party own, part own, or have an interest in.
Pub test: if a reasonable per son would think you have a conflict of interest, then you probably do.
Option one, leave the meeting voluntarily. Option two, allow other councillors decide if you should leave. Option three, councillors move a motion determining if the councillor can vote or other conditions.
What is a close personal rela tionship?
This seems to be the area in which the government hammers the most.

"Simply knowing some body…does not mean you have a personal relationship. Mayors and councillors know a large number of people in the community."
If you are married to them, live with them, have sex with them, go on holidays with them, share a bank account with them or are hosting their 20th wedding anniversa ry, you are in a close personal relationship.
Pub test: if you feel uneasy about making a decision that might not be favourable to them, then "this usually means you should declare the interest".
Family:
Councillors don't always know what their families are up to but cannot use that as an excuse either. The legisla tion says a councillor should have a reasonable ability to know.
Participation in the public interest:
Cr Cynthia McDonald knows a lot about cattle sale yards because she is a cattle grower. Does that give her a conflict or does she have superior knowledge to share with the chambers? Does Cr Tancred know more about the requirements of orchard ists than, say, fellow council
Pub test: does the council lor have knowledge that might help make the best decision in the public inter est?
The $10,0000 ques tion: Should one coun cillor dob in another.
Short answer is yes. You have a duty to report a sus pected conflict to the CEO or chairperson.
After this step, it is up to the councillor in ques tion to decide if they have a conflict or not. If they don't think so, other councillors can vote on the question of you conflict.
lors who are not agrono mists? Probably. Will deci sions made have a BIG impact on the councillor or is the interest unique to the councillor? Lots of people have an apple tree but not everyone owns Nicolettis.
Having a granny flat does not make you a real estate mogul.
Councillors may or may not leave the meet ing depending on the resolutions determined in chamber.
If you are a tragic for detail, you can find out more about managing conflicts of interest by viewing the Local Government Act 2009, or visit the statedevelopment. qld.gov.au.

I was co-chair this week of the Social Enterprise World Forum academic sym posium in Brisbane ear lier this week. The co-chair ing didn’t involve sharing a chair, which is fortunate, as the chair sport ed around an inch of ‘cushion’ that felt like medium rare at best. The SEWF is huge-ish, with over 1500 people from around the world converging on Southbank, but the event I was at was tiny, with chairs enough for everyone.
And the task was somewhat (much) less impressive than it sounds, involv ing tapping the only metallic thing I could find in my laptop bag (a metal referees whistle, believe it or not) against a coffee cup every fifteen min utes or so, as my co-chair role involved time keeping.
I wouldn’t regard myself as a font of knowledge about social enterprise, which is the kind of business that is built with some sort of social purpose in mind—helping the unem ployed, recycling plastic, raising money for Africa… Mind you every business is being drawn into social purpose these days. Our taxes, after all, help the unemployed, recycle plastic and raise money for Africa whether we like it or not. So it’s a fine line. Every company, particularly companies listed on the stock exchange, are being asked to behave itself these days, by wary shareholders, and the increasing ly vocal public. We all happen to live in the same planet, business executives (barring Elon Musk, who is from another planet) and the average shopper alike.
After the day of sessions was over, there were drinks and rath er impressive snacks, consisting of tiny burgers. Well, my hands are very large, and my stomach is limitless, so perhaps the burgers were not quite so tiny as I thought they were. It was at this point that I realised I really shouldn’t be chair, co-chair of anything with the word ‘social’ in it. I was scouring the room for anywhere to hide, but that’s not easy when one has three burgers in a single hand and a liquid anti-anxiety medication produced by Castlemaine Perkins in the other.

A Tannymorel home sold for $2.5 million last month.
The four bedroom home on 32 hectares is located at 2715 Warwick Killarney Road and was sold by Mark Mauch of Southern Downs Realty.
In Warwick, a five bedroom home at 12 Douglas Street sold
for $800k on 29 August. This brick property on 4076 square metres was sold by Kelly Reardon of Wade Real Estate.
If Southern Downs residents mirror the general population, then 40 percent of us moved in the past five years. Around 11 percent of us reported major structural problems in our cur rent dwellings yet 86 percent of us who own are homes are satis fied with out current home. Only 76 percent of renters are satis fied with their current homes. Solar power use increased from 5 percent in 2007 to 22 percent in 2022. Source? ABS.
This is what negative popula
tion growth looks like: In Australia last year there were 309,300 births, an increase of 3.4 percent over the previous year. Deaths last year increased by 10 per cent, or 179,100 deaths. Thanks to overseas migration, Australia had a 0.9 percent population growth.
Key commodity growing mar kets, particularly Brazil and the US, can expect a "healthier sup ply" of fertilizers than last year, according to the latest Rabobank Agribusiness Review.
Growers may also see "further downward price pressure" on phosphates and potash, as the market adjusts to the RussiaUkraine conflict; Russian potash and phosphate are "flowing out more fluidly" and domestic inter mediaries are "comfortable enough" on supply.
News is a little less optimistic for nitrogen, with base case fore casts predicting a 20% to 30% price increase at the wholesale level between now and the end of the year.
A "potentially double-digit per centage increase" is expected for seed pricing heading into 2023.
Poultry growers may be inter ested in participating in a farm biosecurity course for chicken growers through Tocal College/ NSW education. Designed as an introduction or refresher to bios ecurity on meat chicken farms, this short course is based on the National Farm Biosecurity Manual for Chicken Growers. It covers the key biosecurity consid erations for meat chicken farms-people, equipment and vehicles, water quality manage ment and sanitation, dead chick en collection and disposal, rodent control, end of batch pro cedures, record keeping, emer gency disease outbreak prepara tion and legislative requirements.

"Today, Australia is one of the most successful multicultural nations in the world. Our nation is a nation made strong and vibrant by many cultures. In Australia we value and celebrate our diversity."
?lena Cheredova (Davis), from Warwick, became a citizen with her teenage son, Slava Cheredov. They came to the Southern Downs seven years ago, her hus band, John, a doctor.
"I met John in 2013 and I showed him Russian culture and Saint-Petersburg and he showed me Australia with oceans and lovely nature, beautiful flowers and interesting animals," she told The Record after the ceremony.
"In 2015, when we decided to have family together, we both really wanted to have our family here in Australia, because it is great place for raising kids as they still are able to be close enough to nature and education and lifestyle is good quality."
Slava didn't speak English when they arrived in Warwick and the new citizen said "a good teacher" called Laura Smith was instrumental in helping him become more confident with the language.
"It's a friendly community of the South Downs," Alena added.
"When we looked for a place to live, we wanted something small and close to nature, safe and comfortable for family life, but something to explore.
"We like the Southern Downs region with its great opportunity, country culture, rain forest, no
traffic and small quiet communi ty like one big family."
The couple have sons Richard, 5, and Peter, 2, as well.
Congratulations to all our new citizens and their families who received native Australian plants and sprigs to keep as a commemoration of their pledge.
The Town and Country Journal notes that the approved image of the leader of the Commonealth, King Charles III will be made avail able in due course.

In February this year, the club presented to the Council during an information session, outlining the drainage and flooding issues which have impacted the Club's facility on Easey Street. Damages and losses exceed $200,000. Future losses are also expected due to corrosion, mould and rot.
In May, Mayor Vic Pennisi and CEO Dave Burges met with rep
resentatives of the club where the club formally asked for $50,000. The club representa tives advised that they "did not wish to progress with an insur ance claim."
"This position is surprising noting the potential impact on the viability of the Club", the report continues.
In June, Council officers con ducted research on various grant opportunities which are outlined
in the report. The Club may be eligible for some of all of these grants which range from $20,000 to $100,000.
As of August 31, however, the club were "still waiting to hear from SDRC regarding our request for $50,000 financial assistance" according to a letter written to Council from the Vice President of Warwick Gymnastics. The Club is also asking Council to secure a pro
posed new venue for the gym nastics shed.
The topic of insurance was raised again with the club responding that they did not want to make a claim because they may not be able to be insured in the future.
What will Council decide? Find out in the Friday edition of the Daily Journal.

The Southern Downs Youth Council, made up of an outstanding group of high school students from all parts of the shire, are busy engaging with some of the region's biggest problems…. including rubbish.
At the last meeting, staff from the waste management depart ment and Cr Cynthia McDonald discussed the rubbish situation with the group.
The Youth Council learned that Council's seven-year con tract with Cleanaway Waste Services is one of Council's larg est contracts. They were also told about the $10 million annu al budget to service 11 super vised and seven unsupervised waste locations in the Southern Downs.
The Youth Council agreed that many students in their schools were not recycling and that doing the correct thing needs to be "normalised". The majority of the schools have one waste bin and a different bin for plastic bottle recycling.
The young folk recommended clearer signage to the schools, better education and a competi tion between the high schools to see who can have the least waste. They also suggested videos explaining recycling within the schools and what can be recy
cled. Currently, some student councils organise a 10c recycling bin which are checked weekly. Contamination, however, remains a problem. In fact, con tamination is an ongoing prob lem, along with vandalism, sig nage, access, cost and process ing.
The Youth Council talked with Council officers about increasing the number of recy cling bins and putting them sideby-side with general waste in order to eliminate cross contam ination. They also suggested
separate food scrap bins. For public events, the students sug gested alternates to single-use plastics and asking stallholders to offer cardboard packaging for food distribution. Engaging pri mary school students with a recycling competition was also an idea that was raised.
REDcycling was also a topic. The REDcycle program allows the recycling of soft plastics like plastic bags and cling film. Currently, Coles and Woolworths offer REDcycle bins as well as battery and mobile phone recy cling bins.
The paper is pleased to report that Sort-It Sally made an appearance to underscore the importance of recycling to the Youth Council.

cost of living seems to be more and more in the spotlight and it's been a bug bear of mine to comment on petrol prices seen from Stanthorpe to Brisbane, namely because they differ so incredibly.
When doing an extensive filing of The Stanthorpe Record news papers this year, the petrol and diesel related stories kept popping up so heading to Brisbane last week, such prices were again on my mind.
Stanthorpe and Warwick aren't alone in the variance of prices. On the weekend just gone, in Brisbane, prices of $155.7 at the bowser were seen close to the city while in the suburbs, it was 40 cents more per litre - 40 cents just minutes away! Happily filling up in Ipswich, we paid the former but I was scratching my head.
Some Australians are expecting that the federal government will reinvest part of the fuel excise revenue into our roads.
At the bowser, relief was seen in the recent dip in prices, apparently their lowest since November.
That relief will be short-lived however, with prices due to jump by 22c as the Coalition's fuel excise cut finished last Thursday.
During the year The Record reported 213.9 for Unleaded in early July while it was 199.7 in Warwick on the same day.
The Australian Automobile Association said one in six Australians oppose the end to the fuel excise cut if it means no new measures, such as reinvestment, are seen.
Cost of living was the top issue for 53 per cent of the almost 2,000 Australians polled in their August study, with 10 per cent of those identifying fuel costs as their
main concern for making ends meet.
On the weekend, the cheapest Brisbane petrol price ($157.5) was surprisingly seen near the inner city, the dearest ($193.9), only 3kms north while the cheap est towards Warwick and Stanthorpe was travelling towards Ipswich, snapped last Sunday afternoon ($156.9).

not the tin or the tourism that makes the Granite Belt so fabulous: it's the toma toes, figs, capsicums, grapes, micro greens, cherries, apples, plums and lettuce and the rough ly $300 million the add to the local economy.
Early next month, Granite Belt growers will be kicking up their heels and taking an after noon off to celebrate their 150th birthday in the region. Where? Where else? Nicoletti Orchards.
For growers like Angus Ferrier, Raymon Taylor, Nathan Baronio, Lewis Perkins and all the others, there is much to celebrate: sur viving the worst drought proba bly since horticulture was intro
duced to the region, having healthy bee populations and restaurants finally reopening and buying truckloads of vegetables and wine.

Colour grows strawberries and apples and is the president of the Granite Belt Growers Association. His family has been in the area since the 1930s. All of his grandparents came from
Italy, some started in Innisfail cutting cane and working garden farms in the Granite Belt on the offseason. They saved and pinched, bought their own farms and grew into what is one of the most unique towns in Australia.
As Nathan points out, in plac es like Brisbane, everyone knows Stanthorpe. It is a small, work-aday regional town, with no beach and yet everyone has memories of seeing their first snow here or driving up to buy stone fruit or hiking in the national parks.
Granite Belt growers will cel ebrate their birthday with a Bubbles and Blossoms Soiree on Saturday 8th October at Nicoletti Orchards.

WALK WITH US…
And see the world through our eyes…
WALK WITH US is a group exhibition of Corina Graham and The Demented Artists Group Inc (DAGS). The artworks have been created by our members of differ ing skill levels and at different stages on their journey to wellness.
The official opening of WALK WITH US will be held at 6pm on the 15th October 2022, at the Warwick Art Gallery. This FREE exhibition coincides with Queensland Mental Health Week and will run from the 15th October-19th November, 2022. For Booking Enquiries contact the Warwick Art Gallery on (07) 4661-0434.
The Demented Artists Group Inc was successful in obtaining funding from the Regional Arts Fund to run a series of workshops with professional artists. The con cept was to have a mix of the group members plus the general public attend as participants to help break the stigma about those with a history of Mental Health Issues.
There is a perception in society about people who have experi enced a Mental Health Issue, or seek help for emotional support, are not normal. These workshops provided an opportunity to enhance the artistic skills of our members and to highlight that people who have had a Mental Health Issue can have the same skills, drives and abilities as every one else. The workshops have culminated in producing artworks for the exhibition WALK WITH US.
The Demented Artists Group Inc, a local Not-For-Profit, assists those in recovery from Mental Health issues regain their social confidence through art, friendship and social inclusion. The Demented Artists Group Inc use the healing power of Art to enhance the lives of those in recovery and helps to break the stigma surrounding Mental
Health.
The President of The Demented Artists Group Inc, Corina Graham, has been a strong local advocate for speaking about Mental Health and breaking the stigma around it, and was recog nized for this by becoming Southern Downs Regional Council Citizen of the Year in 2022.
1 in 5 Australians will have a Mental Health Issue during their lifetime. If someone you know needs support there are a number of services available.

There is always something happening if you own a farm.
One of the nicest things to happen on our farm at Greymare in the past year was how an AIS heifer which lost her own calf at calving eventually fostered a small heifer which came to the property in a mob bought from Allora.
When the small heifer arrived at the property, she just wouldn’t let the AIS heifer go and kept sucking her milk and eventually the AIS heifer “took” the small heifer as her own.
You could see them in the paddock together and the moth er caring for the smaller heifer as her own.
There is no question the small er heifer which was around six months age at the time benefit ted from the milk and made $1170 on a Tuesday at the Warwick Saleyards.
We will never know but my guess is extra milk put $300 on the smaller heifer and made up for the initial loss of the calf.
During the past 18 months,
we have bought some mixed mobs of cattle, predominately beef, so that is how we ended up with an AIS heifer.
Passwords are in the news in the past week with the problems at Optus.
While there is a lot to be said for having a different password for everything, the worst mistake we have made since Passwords became important were to use different passwords for every thing.
It has cost us the chance to be involved in certain things as if you have the wrong password,
you sometimes miss deadlines,
That also means that when we go to buy tickets to sporting events, we don’t have the right password.
The one thing I do say is have different online banking and card password and another for everything else.
Having a farm we also need passwords for LPA and NLIS which are to do with being a beef farmer.
There are people you meet and just remember and one is the late Helen McMeniman.
Born at Tenterfield, she mar
ried and together with her hus band Ray ran cattle at Wallangarra before moving to Stanthorpe with her family to run a business in the tourist industry.
Helen made everyone she met feel important and comfortable. You don’t forget her.
I saw her around the time of the Stanthorpe Apple and Grape Festival in the late 1970s and once in the intervening years.
Stanthorpe Record journalist Selina Venier wrote a nice trib ute to Helen in Tuesday’s Record.

The
future is looking bright for Southern Downs school students deciding on a career in health with the building of the $1.3 billion Toowoomba Hospital.
Darling Downs Health Chief Executive Annette Scott said,
"The facility is expected to open in the second half of 2027, and we'll have plenty of fantastic job opportunities available as we deliver expanded health care ser vices to the region."
"This is why we want our high school students to be consider ing a career in health now, and in the years to come," said Ms Scott.
The region's industry leaders
are encouraging local school stu dents to consider a health indus try educational pathway to meet the future job opportunities.
Toowoomba and Surat Basin Enterprise (TSBE) CEO Ali Davenport said a collaborative approach is key to growing the health workforce.
"We know that health is the largest employer in the region, and we want to keep it that way."
There are more than 13,000 hardworking hospital and health staff, which is around 15% of all jobs in the Darling Downs Region.
Ms Davenport said this was "something for the region to be proud of" and it remains import ant that there is "continued investment in the workers of the future" as the region grows.
Recently, I stumbled upon the story of two brothers born in Wallangarra, who both enlisted in the 9th Battalion on the same day in August 1915.
William Fife ALLAN 4129 and his younger brother James Douglas ALLAN 4130 were aged 24 and 19 respectively. The brothers fought side by side and under extraordinary circum stances and carried out their duties far above expectations, ensuring they both were award ed medals for their brave actions.
William's citation reads: At Meteren on the night of 10-11 May 1918 displayed marked ini tiative and devotion to duty of a very high order. Recommendation date for Military Medal dated 15 May 1918.
It was not long after this when William suffered a severe gun shot wound to his left hand and
scalp.
James's citation for the Military Medal reads: 'At Villaret on 18 September 1928, Sergeant ALLAN observed an enemy Machine Gun inflicting casual ties on the troops on his right.
Using very good judgement he worked round to a flank and caused the enemy team to flee. This allowed the line to advance without any opposition and
resulted in killing two of the enemy machine gun crew. Again, during the advance, he engaged another enemy machine gun, by charging the crew and causing them to flee in terror. The bold ness displayed by this N.C.O., and lack of hesitation was a means of overcoming the enemy and making good our advance.'
Recommendation for Military Medal dated 26 December 1918.
Like his brother William, James was wounded in action and sent to Beauford War Hospital in England on 2 October 1917 suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.
Thankfully, both brothers sur vived and were returned safely to Australia. As chance would have it after the war, one of their close friends in the 9th Battalion Albert Larrson MM went on to marry their sister Ethel. I doubt many people can lay claim to having three military medal recipients in the family.
While their names may not appear on the Wallangarra Honour Roll because they were living in Brisbane at the time of their enlistment, I firmly believe these men have left a proud leg acy for the town of their birth. The Wallangarra RSL and mem bers of the local community proudly remember them each ANZAC Day.

On Thursday 30th August 1923 the Brisbane Courier stated the following in their report of the first meeting
f shareholders:
Considerable discussion took place regarding the commencement of a co-operative store, and a committee was appointed to deal with the matter"
Initially, the committee recommended to defer the opening of a shop front, in favour of supplying equipment to suppliers and taking a commission All new suppliers of cream required a milking machine, a ream separator and an engine to drive the apparatus. The Co op supplied these items to the farmers, usually on terms, with monthly repayments taken from their cream cheques. These machines required placements of rubber ware and other spare parts, which the Co op stocked in the head office for sale to shareholders. And so it began trading for the convenience of suppliers e top picture was taken in Feb 1938. At this time the butter factory was operating out of the new brick ory at the top of Ivy St. The eastern wing of the original factory had been demolished along with the ont awning. The steps shown in the picture still exist within the CRT building leading up to the offices and wall itself still sits above the awning on the Western end of the building, visible from the road. A brick ade hardware store was added in 1947. The recently discovered lower picture was taken before the added in 1971.
In 1971 Kerry Woolacott, the then produce manager, proposed that the Co op further increase their range of grocery lines. Plans were approved for a small Shop Rite self-service grocery store in the vacant office space between the produce and hardware stores. After only 3 months of trading internal changes were made to allow a full-sized grocery shop within the hardware store and the association joined the Foodland group and the Home and Hardwares Key Group
By the end of 1971 the original grocery section was utilised to set up a TV and Radio Repair and Sales Department and in September 1972 application for membership of Betta Stores was lodged The Co op employed a full time electrician and, at times, apprentices, up until the closure of the electrical service department 28 years later

Warwick is encouraging young peo ple to slow down and take time to prioritise their men tal health this headspace Day. headspace Day on October 5 is an annual National Day of Awareness about the mental health and wellbeing of young people, and the ways their family and friends can support them.
This year's theme is 'Pause. Reflect. Reconnect', and head space Warwick marked the occa sion with Warwick's Got Talent, a peer-led talent show held on 28 October 2022 from 3:30pm at Leslie Park, Warwick.
headspace Warwick Centre Manager Alison Somerset says this is an important date for all members of the community but particularly young people and those with young people in their lives.
"Following on from last years' successful Glow Island event, headspace Warwick's Youth Reference Group wanted to host an event outdoors, which will allow for a larger group activity to showcase our community's vibrant youth talent and to enable our young people to reconnect with one another after the COVID-19 challenges and
floods that our region has recently experienced, which of course, impacted on many peo ple's mental health.
Celebrating headspace Day 2022 is an excellent way of tak ing time out to pause, reflect on the last couple of years and to reconnect with friends, family and meet new people and maybe learn some new strategies in being proactive with mental health and wellbeing. headspace Warwick is the best place to visit if you are experiencing some mental health challenges and is also a great place to visit if you wish to connect with peers and learn some self-care strategies," Alison Somerset said.
the headspace Warwick Youth Reference Group shared some of their strategies for slowing down and reconnecting in tough times.
"Warwick's Got Talent is a great way to reconnect with other peers after a long period of disconnect and disruption. In current times young people are often under pressure juggling work, school and study, and are unable to find time they could spend with their family and friends. I hope this headspace Day 2022 event has a positive impact on the community and helps people to remember how important it is for our mental health to spend time with each other. Simple changes like visit
ing the park together after school or attending one of headspace Warwick's workshops with a group of friends can make a big difference in our lives," Lillyan said.
headspace CEO Jason Trethowan said many young people in Australia have experi enced a number of challenges over the past couple of years, including Covid-19, lockdowns and natural disaster.
"Many of the young people coming to headspace tell us they feel busy, stressed and anxious about everyday life.
"The blur of mental and emo tional demands can sometimes make life feel challenging.
"That's when it can be useful to pause, to reflect on how you're feeling, and reconnect with the people and things that make you feel good.

She scored a try in the first half and was close to scoring one in the second half.
Starting at prop, Hancock ran hard with the ball and got away some excellent offloads as well as being strong in defence.
She captained a team that was selected from outside the top four NRLW teams play ing in the current finals series. The game could influence some of the selections for this year’s World Cup team.
Hancock played in her first World Cup in 2003 and won World Cups in 2013 and 2017.
She has played for the Gold Coast Titans in the past two years but earlier won two NRLW premierships with the Brisbane Broncos and one with the Dragons.

The Warwick Cowboys are seeking more coaches for the 2023 season in the Toowoomba Rugby League competition.
With this season’s coaches Matt Grew, Aaron McVeigh and Scott Fisher all opting not to coach next season, the Cowboys are seeking more nominations for coaching positions.
Club president Dayne Barrett said the Cowboys hoped to have all coaches appointed by the end of October.
“We will also be looking for nominations for officials and committee members at the annual general meeting,” he said.
A date for the AGM has not been finalised.
Barrett is resigned to playing next season without four players
Mick Bloomfield, Sam Broomhall, Cameron Mulcahy
and Morgan Taylor who have retired.
All four have been outstand ing players down the years for
the Cowboys. Information on the club by calling 0458 466 186y. There was a hope that.
ACity versus Country game will double as a trial for representative cricket selection at C.F. White Oval in Stanthorpe on October 14.
The Friday night game will start at 6pm and go to between 10pm and 11pm and be 35 overs a side.
This season, the Mitchell Shield representative competition will be played before Christmas and the Davis Shield in the New Year and Stanthorpe will field teams in both competitions.
Stanthorpe Cricket Association president Tim Harslett said while a few older players were allowed to participate, Davis Shield was predominately for players under the age of 21.
On representative cricket week ends, a Stanthorpe T20 competi tion will be played on the Saturdays with the addition of a Tenterfield team.
Tenterfield played in the Stanthorpe 40-over a side compe tition for five years before having
to withdraw due to Covid border restrictions.
“It is good news Tenterfield is back in the T20 competition, hopefully they will also play in other competitions next season,” he said.
The first Saturday of Stanthorpe 40-over a side cricket will double as a Come And Try Day and all prospective new players are wel come at C.F. White Oval from 12.30pm.
In the first round of fixtures, Souths will play RSL on C.F. White Oval and Wanderers will do battle with Valleys at a venue to be determined. Sheahan Oval drain age is in a bad way and the field is not safe to use. The adjoining high school oval is used on Saturday afternoons by little ath letics so the remaining option is Shirley Park at Tenterfield which officials from the Border town as looking to get up to scratch.
