Former Stanthorpe local Louise Ryan has recently been named as the Labor candidate for the Southern Downs, while Warwick’s Elizabeth Ure was officially announced as the Greens representative on Tuesday.

Contenders line up on Springborg campaigner listed a number of concerns she wished to address, including declining healthcare services and employment opportunities, as well as water quality and availability.

Tackling the intrusions of unrestricted mining and CSG against the wishes of local residents and preparing the community for climate change also sit high on her political agenda.

“I invite all voters to visit my website www.greensforsoutherndowns.com.au and make comments to help me better understand the particular needs of our electorate,” Ms Ure said.

Ms Ryan will launch her campaign on Sunday with a barbecue at her childhood home at 632 Eukey Road at 2pm.

Mr Springborg will be invited to outline his policies in next week’s Free Times.

Minimising crop viral disease AUSVEG has launched a special biosecurity edition of ‘InfoVeg Radio’, as part of the increasingly popular series of research and development focused podcasts produced specifically for Australian vegetable producers.

“Maintaining Australia’s biosecurity is crucial to safe-guarding the future of the Australian vegetable industry,” AUSVEG spokesperson Kurt Hermann said.

“This podcast will help to re-

mind growers of the need to be vigilant when it comes to pests and diseases, and provides invaluable insight into the work being done by industry in this area.”

In Infoveg Radio’s feature interview, Dr Denis Persley, principal plant pathologist at DAFF Queensland, explains how growers can minimise the effects of viral diseases in their crops.

The podcast also features Professor Phil Taylor from Macquarie

Motoring off in park GOONDIWINDI National Heritage and Water Park has been temporarily closed to all motorised vessels due to low water levels.

Recent rain failed to trigger a high flow event into the Macintyre River, which is needed before council can replenish the park’s water supplies.

The grounds of the water park will remain open.

Alternative water skiing facilities include Coolmunda Dam near Inglewood, Pindari Dam near Ashford, and Storm King Dam in the Stanthorpe area.

Meanwhile, Goondiwindi Regional Council has commenced an annual review of urban water supplies as well as investigating its own usage in parks and gardens.

University, who details his work developing new chemicals for use as attractants in fruit fly traps.

Additionally, Dr Tim O’Hare, Senior Research Fellow at the University of Queensland, talks to Infoveg Radio about breeding a Zeaxanthin Rich variety of sweet corn that may assist in combatting eye disease such as macular degeneration.

InfoVeg Radio is available to stream online or download via the

AUSVEG website (www.ausveg. com.au/infovegradio) or via iTunes.

Growers who have tractors equipped with a USB input in the cab stereo, such as those in the John Deere range, can also listen to the programs while out in the field.

The podcast has been funded by Horticulture Innovation Australia Limited using the Vegetable Levy and funds from the Australia Government.

New rules go to the dogs FROM January 2015, Southern Downs residents will no longer need a permit for a second dog and discounts on registration fees for desexed and microchipped canines will be offered.

It comes after Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) decided to change local animal management laws to make them more practical and move in line with community expectations.

Residents will not be required to lodge a permit for a second dog unless their allotment is less

than 450 square metres.

Council also vowed to streamline the dog registration process by introducing lifetime tags, opting for sturdy, durable tags to be issued to residents who will then be sent yearly or three-yearly registration reminders.

“Dog owners have another benefit as a result of council decisions and that is an offer of three years’ registration at no cost for all desexed and microchipped dogs registered in the

“This is an incentive to have dogs desexed and microchipped and on council’s records as quickly as possible. We will need dog owners to provide suitable proof of both procedures.“ Owners will also be able to renew their dog registrations via online payments, bringing it in line with other councils, Mr O’Brien said.

THREE people were charged with drinkdriving over the past week as police continue with holiday traffic enforcement in the Stanthorpe division.

A 66-year-old woman was intercepted in Folkestone Street at 7.30pm last Wednesday where she was charged with drink driving after recording .169 per cent.

A 24-year-old tourist was also stopped at about 1am Sunday after he was observed leaving a local hotel and driving erratically.

The man, obviously affected by alcohol, later refused to supply a specimen of breath and was subsequently charged with driving a motor vehicle whilst being under the influence of liquor.

Later that morning police stopped another vehicle in Maryland Street and charged the 39-year-old male driver after he recorded .182 per cent on the breathlyser.

Meanwhile, a routine traffic stop Tuesday afternoon resulted in the location of cannabis, cannabis resin, seeds and a smoking utensil.

A 60-year-old Cairns man will face court later in the month charged with a number of drug related offences.

On Thursday morning, police caught an 18-year-old local man in possession of cannabis seeds and smoking utensils after being stopped in High Street.

From front page If elected, Ms Ryan said she would focus on a positive agenda for community building.

This includes taking the threat of looming unemployment off local families and providing jobs and job security as well as better health services and local infrastructure.

Ms Ure, on the other hand, plans to present policies that reflect her passion for the environment and living standards of the electorate.

“I firmly believe in the principle that every individual can make a difference to our future,“ Ms Ure said.

“A vote for me as a Greens candidate is a vote for the protection of the Southern Downs and its people, and I will never take that vote for granted.”

STANTHORPE’S water restrictions have been scaled back to permanent, but high level water restrictions will remain in place for Warwick, Allora and Yangan.

Council’s director of engineering services Peter See said good rain over the Christmas/ New Year period boosted dam levels across the Southern Downs.

“In Stanthorpe, Storm King Dam has filled to 100 per cent and is now overflowing,“ Mr See said.

“This means that effective immediately, Stanthorpe water users will revert to Permanent water restrictions, joining those on the Killarney and Wallangarra systems.

“With Storm King Dam at full capacity, boating is now allowed on the dam,“ he added.

In Warwick, Leslie Dam has risen by eight per cent to 29 per cent.

Water restrictions can be relaxed to medium in the Warwick district when Leslie Dam reaches 35 per cent.

New council CEO SOUTHERN Downs Regional Council (SDRC) has appointed a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

David Keenan will take over from acting CEO David Tuxford on 28 January, following the resignation of controversial CEO Andrew Roach in September.

Mr Keenan has 20 years' experience in local government, having most recently worked as general manager for the Australian Forest Contractors Association and as CEO for Mitchell and Tweed Shire councils.

In a statement, Mr Keenan, said he was “excited“ to take on the top role.

The Free Times was told Mr Keenan was unable to be interviewed before his start date. “I look forward to working collaboratively with the mayor and councillors to achieve the aspirations of the council and engaging with staff across the

organisation,“ Mr Keenan said in the statement. “My family and I are keen to be actively involved with the community, and I personally am keen to connect with the different groups and individuals that are working to make the Southern Downs a great place to live, work, visit and recreate."

As in his past roles, the incoming CEO said he would focus on supporting sustainable development and effective genuine consultation with the community on difficult issues. “I my first three months, I hope to meet with as many of these groups and individuals as possible," he said.

SDRC mayor Peter Blundell said council’s newest recruit had notched up a number of key achievements in economic development, strategic planning and project delivery. “Mr Keenan comes to us with a great deal of enthusiasm

and passion for the role," Cr Blundell said. “The CEO position is key to ensuring that services meet community expectation and ensure that local communities can thrive and grow into the future."

Mr Roach came under fire from inside and outside the chamber during his short, twoyear tenure.

He was scrutinised for wielding too much power and failing to intergrate into the community, returning to Brisbane on weekends where his wife and children resided.

The mayor confirmed Mr Keenan would live in the area and is looking to purchase some acreage to keep their horses.

Cr Blundell extended his thanks to Mr Tuxford, who will resume his position as director of business and community services.

MORE than 100 people turned out to Goomburra Town Hall on 17 December in a show of solidarity against APEC Coal’s proposed exploration of the area.

President of the Southern Downs Protection Group (SDPG) Sarah Moles said there was a very strong atmosphere of unity on the night. “There was unanimous support

for SDPG to write to council, urging them not to approve drilling on council lands (road reserves and easements),� she said. “No-one in the hall indicated a willingness to allow APEC Coal onto their property to test drill.�

Cr Jamie Mackenzie and Rob McCreath, from the Friends of Felton (FOF), both spoke at length; Cr Mackenzie about what council can and cannot do, and Mr McCreath on FOF’s experience campaigning

A SIX-YEAR-OLD girl has tragically died after drowning at Leslie Dam on 3 January.

It is believed the youngster was playing on the water’s edge when she slipped in just before 7pm.

Witnesses tried desperately to revive her before paramedics arrived, however she was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at Warwick Hospital.

Warwick’s Filipino community is said to be rallying around the family, who migrated to Australia two years ago.

In brief Road toll down QUEENSLAND has recorded its lowest ever road toll. A total of 223 people lost their lives on Queensland’s roads in 2014, down 26 on the previous record low toll recorded in 2010.

Free health clinic A FREE women’s health clinic will be held at Goondiwindi and Inglewood next month.

The Goondiwinidi clinic will be held at the hospital on 3 and 25 February from 9.30am to 2pm. The Inglewood clinic will be conducted at the Inglewood Multipurpose Health Service on 13 February from 9am to 1.30pm.

An officer from the Department of Natural Resources and Mining was also there and Ms Moles provided some background on SDPG, Lock the Gate Alliance and an update on recent changes to Queensland legislation, which “favours the mining and resources sector significantly over the interests of members of the wider public - and the environment�.

This follows the warmest year on record in 2013, which was 1.20 degrees warmer than average. Nationally, Australian temperatures have warmed about one degree since 1950.

opposition to coal mining in the Goomburra Valley, opinions differed on what stance to take. “Some are willing to be involved in a future creative action to send a very clear signal to APEC that a coal mine at Goomburra is just not on. Others would prefer a more conservative approach,� Ms Moles said.

Future meetings are likely.

Concerned residents can contact Ms Moles on 4666 6125.

App saves police time MOTORISTS involved in minor accidents can now report the incident using their smart phone instead of waiting for police to arrive.

It is hoped the 'Policelink’ app will help ease the estimated 73,000 hours each year officers spend responding to non-injury crashes.

New DON takes over at hospital A NEW director of nursing (DON) has been appointed at Stanthorpe Hospital.

Sue Thurbon started on 1 December 2014 and officially took over the full range of responsibilities of the DON role on 9 January 2015 when Lesley Shannon went on leave.

Ms Thurbon brings more than 25 years’ experience to her new position at Stanthorpe.

“I had been working in the private sector for 25 years, in private hospitals on the Gold Coast and Sunnybank in Brisbane,” she said.

“Then I started to work for immigration health a bit over three years ago and for the last two-anda-half years, I’ve been working offshore as part of the medical team at the refugee processing facility at Nauru.

“I began to look for opportunities back here in Australia, then became aware of the position here at Stanthorpe, so I’m very happy to have been successful.“

Former director of nursing Lesley Shannon, pictured here with Stanthorpe Hospital staff member Ida May Neville, is looking forward to a bit of ‘R&R’ in her retirement.

Nursing doyen looks to ‘R&R’ retirement

Sue Thurbon has commenced as the new director of nursing at Stanthorpe Hospital.

FRIDAY, 9 January marked the end of an era when long-term Stanthorpe Hospital director of nursing (DON) Lesley Shannon called it a day.

Ms Shannon is taking a period of leave before officially retiring from the hospital later in the year.

Her career at Stanthorpe Hospital started with a year’s work in 1975’76.

In 1983, she returned as a registered nurse then performed a variety of roles including a stint with Child Health, travelling across the Southern Downs.

By 1984, Ms Shannon had reached the position of nurse educator.

In 1991, she took up the role of Nurse Unit manager before becoming the relieving DON in 1993.

She has been in her current role

as permanent DON since August 1994.

“I am very passionate about rural nursing and midwifery and have been fortunate to have worked with some fabulous people,” Ms Shannon said.

“There have been a lot of highlights over the years, but notably, I think we’ve developed good recruitment systems which has given us a very stable workforce in nursing and midwifery, community health and medicine.

“The opening of the new birthing suites last month, was also a highlight and a wonderful process to be involved in.”

After a long and distinguished career, Ms Shannon is looking forward to having some ‘R&R’ and being able to spend quality time with family members in Brisbane.

Hospitals go smoke-free SMOKERS will be forced to butt out around all Queensland hospitals as new legislation takes effect.

From 1 January, smoking has been banned on the grounds of Warwick and Stanthorpe hospitals, the Inglewood health service, as well as The Oaks Aged Care Facility.

Legislation was passed in Queensland Parliament in November requiring all private and public hospitals and health services across the state to go smoke-free in the New Year.

The legislation also prohibits smoking within a five-metre boundary of the facilities and includes vaporises commonly known as e-cigarettes.

“There will be no designated smoking areas from 1 January at the Warwick Hospital,” director of nursing Jane Waite said.

“Patients admitted to hospital or residents of The Oaks will be offered the use of free nicotine replacement therapies such

as patches and gum.”

To further support patients, smoking cessation training will be made available to staff.

“The training is provided internally and will provide staff with the most up-to-date information about smoking cessation and the current evidence-based ‘quit’ methods,” Ms Waite said.

Under the legislation, the smoking ban will be enforceable by authorised staff members who will be able to issue on-the-spot fines.

“However, our focus will be on informing people about the new legislation and encouraging them to improve their health by quitting smoking,” Ms Waite said.

SOUTHERN Downs Regional Council was $3.51 million in the red at the end of 2013/’14, despite rates, levies and utility charges increasing by more than $2.5 million.

A glance at the table giving key financial figures over the past five years shows an increase of more than $11 million in rates, levies and charges since 2010.

The figures and a breakdown of council’s performance can be found in its comprehensive 2013/’14 annual report, which it released late last year

and is available on its website.

While council received a $4.74 million increase in grants, subsidies and contributions (largely for flood rectification works), general purpose grants declined by $1.12 million and sales revenue declined by $448,000 due to resources being redirected away from Main Roads contracts to flood repair work.

Materials and services also decreased by $5.76 million due to flood work being capitalised.

However, the financial hit caused by the floods failed to prevent council from increas-

Revenue sources for 2013/’14: Rates, levies and charges - 50% Grant and contributions (operating) - 23% Grants and contributions (capital) - 17% Fees and charges 5% Other 4% Interest and investment revenue 1%

Total expenditure (by type) for the 2013/’14 year:

ing its employee benefits by $2.23 million to $27.47 million.

Acting CEO David Tuxford said despite trying conditions and grant funds from both federal and state governments being reduced or discontinued, council was able to deliver an “ambitious“ capital works program worth $17 million.

Council has foreshadowed a “small“ surplus in its 2014/’15 budget, which includes a five per cent rise in general rates, 2.5 per cent reduction of the early payment discount rates, and capital works of about $15.7 million.

Material and services - 40% Employee benefits - 31% Depreciation and amortisation - 18% Other - 9% Finance costs - 2% Total expenditure (operating and capital) covered the following: Transport infrastructure - 38% Corporate services - 23% Community services - 12% Water infrastructure - 9% Waste management - 6% Sewerage infrastructure - 6% Planning and development - 3% Corporate governance 3%

High cost of councillors SOUTHERN Downs ratepayers forked out more than $65,000 last financial year on council expenses, mobile devices and vehicle reimbursement.

Cr Vic Pennisi lead the charge, claiming $1200 on mobile phone costs, $18,802.50 on vehicle reimbursement and $1469.73 for other expenses, including mandatory and discretionary training, travel costs, accommodation, meals and transfer expenses.

The Stanthorpe-based councillor defended the hefty total, saying it took 133km just for a trip to Warwick and being an elected representative was his only form of personal income.

Councillors Cameron Gow, Jo McNally and Jamie Mackenzie chose not to claim any phone or vehicle reimbursement.

Cr Gow said unlike other councillors, he had other forms of income outside of council.

Meanwhile, councillors could be about to award themselves a 2.3 per cent pay rise from 1 July.

The raise is the maximum recommended by the Local Government Remuneration and Discipline Tribunal and is in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Councillors are expected to vote on the recommendation early this year.

Councillors’ Remuneration - 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014

HOW dare this SDRC give their/our councillors a pay rise to the value of the fluoride taken out of the water? There was no public consultation, no logic in fluoride and flesh, a lot of time and expense, resources and public pain wasted in the lack of thought to the consequence of your madness. I and friends who moved here can hardly wait to leave here. We all know we are already struggling to make ends meet for work, what little work/income is out here.

Donna Nevin, Killarney.

Not so good IF FLUORIDE is so good for the health of children’s teeth, then they can use fluoride toothpaste, drink fluoride drops in their water, use fluoride mouthwash, take fluoride pills, or whatever other methods there are for making children’s teeth healthy. This can be administered by parents, doctors or schools.

This avoids any problems that will be produced by putting fluoride in water which is also used for showering, washing clothes, watering plants, flushing toilets, washing cars, and is then washed into the environment for our birds, animals, fish, insects, etc to have to deal with it. This way people can make their own informed choice

about whether they do or don’t want fluoride in their bodies, without polluting our world unnecessarily. I think we have enough of that already.

Sandy Regan, Drake.

Tina and her mates for saving my finger. Stanthorpe is lucky to currently have such caring and talented staff. I wish them the best.

Jack Clarke, Rivertree.

Finger relief

Beyond belief

RECENTLY I was in Canberra to visit some of my family. While there I became seriously ill. My middle right finger had swollen to twice its normal size; and also my right foot was painful and swollen. I also was getting ill. I visited the Canberra Hospital. They could find little wrong with me. I then returned to Stanthorpe. My situation was deteriorating, and a colleague Larry Bladden drove me up to the hospital. We went to the emergency section where we came across a beautiful young nurse practitioner named Tina who we bailed up and asked to look at my hand. Tina was shocked at the state of my hand and with some colleagues ushered me into Dr Halliday’s surgery.

He took a look and ordered emergency treatment.

I was packed off into an ambulance and sent to Toowoomba. The diagnosis was I had gout in my right finger and my right foot; and was likely to lose my finger with my foot waiting for the same.

I had operations over two weeks and have been drugged up to the ears ever since. Every second day I was advised I could lose my finger but I still have it. I thank Dr Halliday and I thank Nurse

IT IS beyond belief that the council response to the need to boost business and street appeal in Stanthorpe is to throw away $82,500 on a token survey. Add to this the mayor’s statement that we do not have the money to pay for the streetscape anyway. I note that they are advertising for an economic development officer also - is this the sign of a council which has lost the economic plot? Our debt certainly continues to balloon and Mayor Blundell has boasted about the ability of the amalgamated Southern Downs to borrow lots more - do we really want to keep going down this profligate path?

Commonsense tells me that people who will decide the fate of Stanthorpe’s business district are the residents of this district and this defeatist gesture just sends a message to them that council has no confidence in their ability to know when they have what they want, they then need ‘experts’ to tell them why and how they may choose to shop in Stanthorpe’s main street.

We do not need consultants to tell us that operating a business in the main street is saddled with high rates, poor council support and token consultations.

Listening to residents and potential customers - several issues are not being addressed - the range of stores impacts where people shop - we need a family clothing store here for a start.

Woolworth’s car park and the complex itself are long overdue for an update - what is being done to ensure safety and amenity issues are addressed by the company who owns it? Is it true that they have been delaying compliance issues and endlessly putting off the inevitable? And we need main street parking to continue - taking it off the main street will kill the remaining businesses altogether. Just as an aside, those ugly Dalek bins have done nothing for the beautification of the street either.

As for the Italian influence - we could do much to highlight this but not as a token nod to Italian culture but by rather by genuine acknowledgement of Italian taste, values and historical connection with this area. The knowledge, inspiration and talent to improve our town is in this community - we do not need a token consultation process. We certainly could achieve plenty with a voluntary Stanthorpe Town Council which advises council on what the people want, because the current elected representatives have let us know that their priority is to represent the council, not us.

Mary Rofe, Stanthorpe.

Cleanskins IN RESPONSE to Ms Cohen’s story (SFT, 18 December). I too, after having held a clean driving record for all of 20 years, was issued with a fine (April 2013) for travelling 61km/h in what I presumed was a 60km/h zone in Grafton Street also. Travelling North down Dragon Street past the kindergarten there is a 60km/h sign and also a Black Spot Project sign. Approaching the roundabout at Dragon and Grafton Streets there is a further 60km/h sign visible on Dragon Street from the roundabout as you travel around or through it. In East Warwick, as you travel onto Grafton

EASTSIDE HIRE

Street from the Junabee road approach, there are about four 60km/h signs leading you to the T-intersection at the railway line in town. After having observed these 60km/h signs constantly on those routes, my fate was sealed the day I chose to travel along the thoroughfare of Grafton Street.

Since this frustrating incident, I have noticed several other intersections or areas of much confusion that are in Warwick also. The fourcorner intersection of Locke and Tooth streets has two 50km/h and two 60km/h signs, one on each corner. Ironically the Locke Street 60km/h zone takes you east towards a busy school area.

The next is on Pratten Street west end which is 50km/h on one side if the railway line and the Willi Street road which follows along the other side is a 60km/h zone. All areas are residential streets and have street lighting and driveways.

How do we define “urban” when there are two different speed signs in any one built up or residential area?

J.M. Locke, Warwick.

Some study $82,500! MORE money is to be wasted on a study into “improving” the street scape of Stanthorpe. Sounds like this is the latest brain snap of the mayor. How much do they think they want to spend prettying up Stanthorpe’s CBD? It would be another matter if there was lots of spare cash in the kitty, but SDRC is running a deficit to the tune of millions and they want to spend more. It is utter nonsense.

Nothing needs to be done in the CBD to attract more customers to the shops. There are plenty of people now swarming around the area. However, something needs to be done about parking and the Rogers Street grassy car park could be improved.

Could that be done for the cost of THAT study?

The SDRC is good at spending money and racking up more debt. Bring on the next election when we will have the opportunity to sweep the slate clean of these spend crazy councillors and mayor.

Jay Nauss, Glen Aplin.

Horror on screen THE horror that filled our television screens for days as a miscreant of another world, planned mayhem learnt in his homeland not ours, reminded me of an old song that goes like this “Never smile at a Crocodile”. For that ditty carries the truth of political correctness that has devoured our Australian identity.

Nothing can disguise the timeframe of unbelievable change that came to our beautiful country via these uninvited people. Massive child welfare payments to those who do not work for a living, seems to be related to approximately 20 federal seats that swing on social benefits that, as anyone who watches Question Time in the parliament knows the Labor Party favours, regardless of escalating debt.

So everyone smiles at the crocodile to keep him happy, and Australians suffer the consequences. Imagine the droughted land ruining the best farmers in the land which could have been avoided if all the loose social security money had been spent on dams! This writer believes there are no “moderate” illegal immigrants, only selfserving ones who should leave on short notice.

Melba Morris, Allora.

SOUTHERN Downs Deputy Mayor Ross Bartley will lead a revolt against the Queensland Government’s imposition of the new $45 Emergency Management, Fire and Rescue Levy.

Cr Bartley said he would not be paying the levy and he urged others not to pay until the last moment.

The legislation forces local governments to collect the levy, and councillors are objecting to being made tax collectors for the State Government.

“I believe as a show of protest we should refuse to pay,” Cr Bartley said.

“I’m not going to pay to send a clear message to the State Government that it’s an unfair method of collecting this levy.

“If we sacrifice a little bit in interest and pay the levy just before our rates are due it will have no effect on our payment record.”

An Urban Levy Scheme introduced in 1984 was expanded from 1 January 2014 to include all properties in the state.

Councillors were scathing of the State Government’s performance, which they said had generated a great deal of public anger, most of which was being directed at councils.

“It’s unfair...they think we’re imposing it,” Cr Denise Ingram said.

Cr Ingram said the Government

had not even said where the funds raised would be going.

“We don’t think it’s going to the Rural Fire Brigades,” she said.

“We’re getting a lot of negative feedback from the community,” Cr Jamie MacKenzie said.

“We need to be down in George Street to say we don’t think this is working very well.”

Cr Mackenzie later said he would pay the levy “under duress” by the due date because in other cases council asked ratepayers to pay on time.

They said the council was arbitrarily forced to collect the levy; weren’t adequately compensated for doing so; and was forced to introduce the new tax after rates notices had been issued.

Councillors also said collecting the levy was consuming staff time without compensation and the State Government had made no provision for publicity explaining that councils were collecting the levy on behalf of the State Government.

“The State Government should be collecting the levy themselves and not blurring the area between state and local government,” Cr Vic Pennisi said.

They said the Government should compensate them a minimum of $50,000 for the costs of imposing payment. The $2.23 councils receive from the $45 levy doesn’t cover postage, councillors said.

COLD and blustery conditions failed to deter a stoic crowd from gathering at Leslie Park to commemorate the 48th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan on Monday.

Haunting sounds of bagpipe and bugler rang out across the Warwick park as local dignitaries joined returning servicemen to lay wreaths and pay their respects.

The Battle of Long Tan began on 18 August 1966 in a rubber plantation near Long Tan, South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Heavily outnumbered and surrounded, Australian forces faced hours of savage attacks by the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese, but courageously maintained their lines, forcing the enemy to withdraw.

Guest speaker and former member of the 6th Battalion Major Warrick Talbot said it was this display of military might against all odds that strengthened the Anzac sprit.

“This epic battle and many others that the Australians were involved in reinforced those traits for which Australian soldiers have become world-renowned: courage, determination, mateship, teamwork, leadership and tenacity, compassion and humour,” Major Talbot said.

“I can attest to the fact that many of those lessons learnt from the Vietnam conflict, including tactics, techniques and procedures, are taught and revised for today’s soldiers.”

The day now marks more than the Battle of Long Tan, and is a time when all Vietnam War veterans are remembered service honoured.

“We honour those who did not return and those who returned injured in body or mind,” Major Talbot said.

“None will be forgotten; nor indeed will the families and loved ones who supported the soldiers,” he said.

As the Last Post rang out the crowd paused for a minute’s silence.

Afterwards, Reverend Tony Shumack led the crowd in prayer.

He said it was important history did not repeat itself, referring to the hostile treatment of Australian troops after the war, which was the cause of widespread social and political dissent.

To detonate the bomb, Army officers placed it deep underground, but it still produced an impressive blast, according to onlookers.

An Army representative said the boy was lucky to be alive to tell his story.

During World War II, an Australian Army’s detention barracks was located on the south side of Warwick, east of the New England Highway and north of Flitcroft Street.

The detention barracks at Warwick were reputedly the scene of violent riots during the war.

A TEENAGER is lucky to be alive after he disturbed a World War II mortar shell at a Warwick property on Tuesday.

John Dawn, 16, was on his grandfather’s property near Morgan Park when he discovered a metal object sticking out of the ground.

The curious teenager dug up the object and threw it in his ute to show his grandfather, who immediately phoned authorities.

Warwick police secured the area and guarded the mortar shell until the Australian Army attended the scene to dispose of the bomb.

What’s On Sunset for Sunlander THREE Foot Six, The Sunlander is an exhibition by Glen O’Malley and Ian Smith that captures some of the stories and character of Queensland’s rail culture.

The exhibition is the result of a lifetime of train travel. Both artists made many excursions throughout the state, as children with parents and later alone or with family and friends. More recent excursions have been to relive those journeys and to capture the character of trains, the passengers and the views from the carriage windows.

The exhibition records The Sunlander, a service that started in July 1953 and operated once a week on the North Coast line, between Brisbane and Cairns, through to December 2014.

There are also images of the first Tilt Train from Cairns, and the Gulflander on the Normanton-Croydon line, which is the only Queensland rail line not connected to the rest of the state.

Brisbane-born O’Malley’s first clear memory is of his fourth birthday travelling from Brisbane to Townsville on The Sunlander.

O’Malley recalls childhood rail excursions to Shorncliffe on the train.

“I took my sons on the same trip to celebrate their birthdays,” he reminisced.

“I also remember a memorable 24hour journey through summer floods in the guard’s van of a goods train from

Bundaberg to Gladstone with only a packet of boiled peanuts to share with my girlfriend.”

The photographs were taken during several excursions and many were taken on the Sunshine route. In 2003, O’Malley drove from Cairns to Brisbane photographing trains along the way, and then travelled back on The Sunlander with artist friend Ian Smith.

Smith was born in Cairns and now lives in Brisbane. He has exhibited at Warwick Art Gallery several times and has a work in the Southern Downs Regional Council collection.

Smith was painting at a young age, and his first views of Queensland’s distinct and diverse character were from and in a train. These early journeys informed his interest in man’s impact on the landscape and the challenge of the long distance.

The paintings and photographs conjure up the sounds and smells, excitement and monotony of train travel. The images capture the sounds of heavy, wooden doors slamming, rattling carriages and the squeal of the brakes. The artists also focused on the people travelling in the trains, the cold platforms at night, the goodbye kiss and views from the window of cane fields and bush rolling past.

The historic final journey of The Sunlander, Queensland’s longest running service, departed from Brisbane on Sunday 28 December 2014 and

A decade of dance for Ritz THE Ritz Performing Arts celebrates 10 years in Stanthorpe this year as well as 31 years in Brisbane.

During this time, they have trained some students right through to professional careers in several different areas of the performing arts.

In Stanthorpe, they have a staff of four teachers who specialise in their respective fields of ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary dance, singing, drama, hip-hop and musical theatre and they are able to offer most of these subjects depending on demand.

Ritz teaches students from three to adults, providing quality tuition to achieve an extremely high standard of training for students who are hoping to succeed in performing arts and in life.

The school offer exams in the Commonwealth Society of Teachers of Dance Syllabus in ballet, tap and modern jazz and also offers Trinity College London exams in musical theatre and drama.

“The class numbers are strictly limited and our teachers are fully qualified so students are guaranteed a high standard of tuition in all classes,” Rhonda Binnie from Ritz said.

“The exam syllabi we teach

for dance, drama and musical theatre are all recognised by Education Queensland and can be useful for senior students wishing to use these subjects for their senior certificates in high school.

“We are thrilled to bring the dance examiners right here to Stanthorpe so that our students do not have to travel for exams. We have regularly taken our Stanthorpe students to summer schools in Melbourne with the Australian Ballet School and Jason Coleman’s Ministry of Dance.

“We also try to provide as many opportunities as possible for the students to perform in public and now average at least one public performance per month.

“We offer classes for both girls and boys and the teachers are well versed in the male versions of all set work and their training.”

Ms Binnie said Stanthorpe students were already enjoying success in their chosen fields.

“Matthew Manahan has achieved his ATCL (teaching credits) for drama and musical theatre and is about to start his second year of musical theatre studies at the world-renowned WAAPA (Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts),” she said.

“Jade Thomas has achieved

her teacher’s certificate in the CSTD Jazz Syllabus.

“In 2014, four of our senior dancers took major ballet exams in Brisbane and are now all about to start “intermediate” level at a pre-professional standard.

“Several of our students won scholarship places at the inaugural GBPAC in Stanthorpe last year and we look forward to developing this great new event for the town.”

Ritz regularly hosts masterclasses in Stanthorpe with professional dancers/choreographers who are currently working in the Australian performing arts industry.

“Our singing and drama classes are held under the expert tuition of Carleon Russell and cover all areas for exams and performance,” Ms Binnie said.

Check out the website www. ritzdance.com and “like” the Facebook page under “The Ritz Performing Arts Centre” to keep up to date with all of the fun events the school has on a regular basis.

They will hold an open day/ sign-on day on Thursday 22 January at the Uniting Church Hall, High Street, Stanthorpe, from 3pm to 5pm.

Students Erin and Amanda celebrate their success.

By TANIA PHILLIPS IT’S the national dance of Scotland but you don’t have to be in Scotland or even from there to enjoy highland dance.

Inverness Highland Dance Studio at Warwick is offering new beginners free lessons in February. With class sizes at a maximum of 10 students, individual attention is guaranteed.

Studio principal Marlene McBean, who has had more than 20 years experience teaching this form of dance, said no special clothing or

equipment was required.

Marlene, an examiner for QDSA and a member of the SOBHD Worldwide Panel of Judges, said highland dancing had become popular throughout the world.

“Highland dance is a very technical and physical type of dance which helps to develop mind and body,” she said.

“Classes provide social interaction and dancers gain life skills such as confidence and presentation.

“Students learn that through perseverance and

self-discipline comes enjoyment and rewards.

“Our beautiful costumes needn’t be expensive, often bought second hand.

“Scottish ancestry is not necessary, just a willingness to participate.”

Beginner classes will be held in the air-conditioned studio area on Wednesdays with the children at 4.30pm and adults from 6pm.

A new you in the New Year “OH yes I did! I have jumped on the “New Year New You� bandwagon,� says Naturopath AnneMarie McDonald. “Why? “Not because I believe in New Year’s resolutions, but because I believe in the opportunity to make a different choice starting now. “The thing is, if you are anything like millions of others, you have considered on more than one occasion to do something about your health, your weight, your skin or your irritable bowel and still you haven’t really committed to doing something about it. “Likely you have said something like, “when Christmas is over�, “when school goes back�, I will get myself into a good routine and back on track.�

According to Anne-Marie it’s good to set yourself a start date, but do you want it badly enough to stick to it? “What I find is that being accountable to someone really helps,� she said. “Getting support and guidance may mean the difference between giving up when things get challenging, or achieving your desired outcome. “I invite you to choose to succeed, to put yourself first and choose to have some real, no B.S. support. “Don’t get me wrong, I think some of the online eating programs have some merit, but I also see far too often, people signing up to certain 12week programs and not finishing, because they don’t really have the specific care they need for their situation, and they get lost along the way.�

Here are the things Anne-Marie believes you should watch out for when deciding what will help you be healthy, happy and the best version of you for the long-term: 1. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

There is a new fad out every day, and whether it’s to do with diet or detox or younger looking skin, or what Dr Oz got paid to say this week, you will find that if there are any real benefits, they won’t last unless you keep buying the product and following the fad. Magazines, TV and newspapers promote what sells, they don’t care about you.

2. Avoid one-size-fits-all programs. Thank goodness we are not all created the same! There is no such thing as a program or product that works for everybody.

If the goal is outside what feels good for you, eg. fitting into a particular dress for special occasion, being a size 8 because your sister is, having a flat stomach because that’s what you think your husband wants, etc. You will never be content or successful because it’s not about YOU and it will never feel right! “In my experience, what works is making each day as healthy, vibrant, alive, energetic and happy as possible, and having gratitude for the gift of choice and what you master each day,� she said. “In the same way you would seek help to service your car, or trim your hair, ask for help from someone qualified, with your best interests at heart to guide you on the best way to help your body perform at its full potential.�

Our farmers stand to gain from Japan LOCAL agricultural products destined for Japan will have reduced or non-existent tarrifs from today when the JapanAustralia Economic Partnership Agreement (JAEPA) comes into force.

The JAEPA will eliminate or reduce tariff rates on many key agricultural products destined for Japan - including beef, sheep meat, livestock, dairy, seafood, wine and horticulture, Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce said.

“Reduced tariff rates will save our exporters import costs and will give them an advantage over international competitors,” he said.

“Exporters will receive two tariff cuts in quick succession the first on entry into force on 15 January, and a second on 1 April 2015 - accelerating our competitive position in the market.”

Mr Joyce acknowledged that certain industries had been disappointed at the outcomes on some products, but pointed out that on balance Australian agriculture would gain considerable

improved market access from the agreement.

Mr Joyce also noted however that a review clause in the agreement provides for further agricultural market access within five years or sooner if one of our competitors gets better access.

A notable benefit of this deal was the improved access for Australia’s largest export to Japan of frozen and chilled beef, worth $1.4 billion in 2013-’14, which currently faced a tariff of 38.5 per cent. This would reduce to 19.5 per cent and 23.5 per cent respectively over 18 and 15 years; and with larger tariff cuts on entry into force, will provide the beef industry with an early advantage against key competitors such as the US. Australia’s exports of feed barley, worth $236 million in 2013-’14, would benefit from the elimination of the 39yen/ kg out-of-quota tariff from the time the agreement comes into force.

Tariffs of up to nearly 10 per cent on many seafood products would be eliminated on entry

into force (including abalone and rock lobster), with Japan a major market for Australian seafood exports, worth $219 million in 2013-’14.

Tariffs on a range of key horticulture exports to Japan would also be eliminated from the start of the agreement, including for asparagus, mangoes, macadamia and other nuts. Tariffs on most wine exports, valued at $42 million in 2013-’14, will also be eliminated on entry into force, providing improved competitiveness against other major wine exporters such as the EU, US and Chile.

The agreement includes quota arrangements* for some products that will be managed by the Australian Government including bovine offal, pork, honey, poultry, apple and orange juice, and two types of preserved meats.

For more information, see: www.agriculture.gov.au/market-access-trade/fta *Exporters of eligible quota products can find more information and apply at www.agriculture.gov.au/japanquotas.

Rural Links Beefed up business

Grants provide progress

WHEN Dan Ford left his job as a lawyer at the Department of Innovation and Industry in Canberra and moved back to his home town of Tenterfield to follow his dream of starting a beef jerky business, the gutsy move raised a few eyebrows.

The 34-year-old poured all his life savings into Bald Rock Beef Jerky and after about 18 months of planning, the fledgling business got off the ground this time last year.

And the gamble has well and truly paid off with his tasty snack, which uses meat from his parent’s cattle farm, Bald Rock near Tenterfield, being sold by 90 retailers across Australia and rapidly growing.

He has also garnered a solid international following, selling about $2000 worth of the meat strips from his website to overseas foodies each month.

Mr Ford said it was a family holiday to Zimbabwe in 1994 which introduced him to the idea of drying meat and planted the seed in his mind.

“I learnt the basics of drying meat there and by the time I was 18, with the help of my mother’s cooking expertise, we put together a basic recipe,” he explained.

“Then we just sort of tinkered with that recipe and improved it for several years then came out with a few different recipes.”

As could be expected, not everyone was convinced that Mr Ford

MINGOOLA Progress Association, Tenterfield Wild Dog Control Group, Tenterfield Community Gardens and a group working to restore the Bunyip Creek will share in more than $60,000 of Landcare grants, New England MP Barnaby Joyce announced last month.

The Mingoola Progress Association received $20,000 to remove cats claw creeper and to restore and protect riparian biodiversity, while the Tenterfield Wild Dog Control Group received $20,000 for a strategic, cross-border pest animal control management project.

Tenterfield Community Gardens will also receive $10,000 for a project titled, principles and practices of sustainable food production.

East of Tenterfield, a group working to restore the Bunyip Creek, a tributary of the Cataract, will receive $13,167 for fencing, installing batters and tree planting.

Mr Joyce and federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt announced the successful projects sharing in the $5 million of funding under the 25th Anniversary Landcare Grants.

“We all have a part to play in caring for the land.

"These projects are one way we can ensure that our agricultural practices are sustainable and our natural environment is healthy for future generations,” Mr Joyce said.

Dan Ford's beef jerky, which uses meat from his family's cattle farm in Tenterfield, is preservative and gluten free – something the entrepreneur believes sets his product apart. should take his kitchen hobby to new heights.

“Initially my parents were unsure of me giving away my legal career, but they have seen how quickly my business has grown and have always been very supportive of me in following what it is I really want to do,” he said.

The unique way in which the entrepreneur secured extra start-up capi-

tal has also been lauded, with Bald Rock Beef Jerky receiving a Regional Development Australia Northern Inland Innovation award late last year.

“Crowdfunding is fairly new to Australia and I ran a crowdfunding project that resulted in getting 722 backers from all over Australia and also lots of international backers including from countries like the US, Russia, the Netherlands and probably

another 20 countries,” Mr Ford said.

“The total raised was $26,500, which is still, as far as I know, an Australian agribusiness crowd funding record.”

If the enterprise continues on the up-and-up, it could also have positive ramifications for the town, with Mr Ford hinting at the possibility of opening his own manufacturing plant.

LOCAL farmers will be able to save money on their power bills by switching at no cost between electricity tariffs.

Agriculture Minister John McVeigh and Energy Minister Mark McArdle last month welcomed the decision by Ergon Energy to waive the fee for changing between the different types of farming and irrigation tariffs from 1 January 2015.

Minister McVeigh said reducing production costs was essential to reaching the Newman LNP Government’s goal of doubling agricultural production by 2040.

“It was made clear to Minister McArdle and me during our tour of Queensland farming communities last month

that growers would welcome greater flexibility to move back and forth between ‘time of use’ tariffs (T62 and T65) and the ‘fixed charge’ tariff (T66) as it suited them.”

Under the current arrangement, farmers are permitted to switch between tariffs only once a year at no cost with subsequent changes attracting a fee.

Customers switching to a ‘time of use’ tariff for the first time may need to have a new meter installed.

“The current arrangement does not take into account that seasonal and climatic variations can dramatically alter the timing, duration and amounts of water an irrigator may need to

pump,” Mr McVeigh said.

The new arrangement will be reviewed at the end of the 2014/'15 financial year.

Mr McArdle said Ergon Energy had also accepted a request to do away with special meter read fees that accompanied a move between farming and irrigation tariffs during the billing cycle.

The newly formed Agriculture Energy Council will see the government and leading farm groups working together on electricity issues, while the commitment of $2.69 million to the Energy Savers Plus program will help farmers to find savings by adopting better technology and improved management practices.

Support with sizzle WARWICK residents are invited to celebrate Australia Day and support the Queensland Rural Fire Service (RFS) by joining Bunnings Warwick team members for an Australia Day fund-raising barbecue on Saturday 24 January.

Queensland Rural Fire Service Acting Deputy Commissioner Bryan Cifuentes said he was pleased Bunnings has chosen to support emergency services with this great initiative.

Bunnings Warwick store manager Ross Kingston said the Aussie Day Weekend Fund-raiser Barbecue is a terrific way for team members and all Australians to show their appreciation for the wonderful work done by local volunteer emergency services.

“We’d love everyone to come and enjoy a sausage sizzle and help raise vital funds for the great work done by local volunteer emergency services across

the Australia Day weekend,” Mr Kingston said.

Between 9am and 4pm, team members from Bunnings Warwick will be running the barbies with support from emergency services volunteers, with every cent raised going directly to support the Queensland Rural Fire Service.

Family activities, fun games and entertainment will also be held throughout the day.

★★★★★★★★ ★★★★★★★★ ARIES—March 21-April 20 A loved one seems almost too easy to please, but there’s no cause for alarm. A friend shares some good news that involves you indirectly. Any friction among workmates should end abruptly.

TAURUS—April 21-May 22 Some frustrating delays are offset by a productive cycle.

Romance shows its sentimental side this week. Self improvement plans are highlighted.

A barbecue at Bunnings Warwick this Australia Day will help support members of the Queensland Rural Fire Service.

From Page 8

What the web says I AM not a proponent of whether fluoride should or should not be added to the water supply but following the debate in the paper I went onto the web to check the facts for myself. I looked at both arguments and what I found surprised me. The pro lobby while in general terms much of what they said was true, they were careful to avoid the fact that there are many forms of fluoride (seven all up) with only one being natural i.e. calcium fluoride, a less toxic form, a neurotoxin used in psychiatry. Fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6) and sodium fluorosilicate (Na2Sif6) are commonly used in public drinking water. Both are classed as highly toxic waste by-products of the aluminium and fertiliser industries and they may contain lead, arsenic, cadmium, and even radioactive isotopes.

These elements are not taken out before they are used in treating the water supply. They are also used in the food processing industries. As a fumigation and a rodent poison (sulphuryl fluoride) was used to spray wheat although this practice should have stopped this year.

Studies in America have shown there is little difference between tooth decay long-term with children from both fluoridated and non-fluoridated communities, with one 50-year study showing children with fluoride in the water showed a slightly greater number of cavities. (“New Studies cast doubt on Fluoridation benefits”, by Bette Hileman, 8 May, 1989).

In December 1993 a Canadian Dental Association panel concluded that “ingesting fluoride does not, in fact prevent tooth decay” (Canadian Medical Association Journal, 1993:149). Japan, China and 98 per cent of Europe have stopped or rejected the addition of fluoride to their public water supply (Chemical and Engineering News, 1 Aug, 1998).

My motto is “if in doubt, do without” so I applaud the council in their decision. If some wish to use fluoride they can very easy in toothpaste

and it is in almost all processed foods.

We live in a chemical world, maybe that’s why more of us are getting sick?

Sam Grayson, Glen Aplin.

Border control THE State Government controls council boundary changes, amalgamations, de-amalgamations and associated referenda. Hence it is important that everybody knows where each candidate (and their party) stands on these issues.

In the lead-up to the State Election SOS believes all candidates need to state their position on the forced amalgamations of councils and subsequent problems. We know the extra costs incurred by amalgamation to regional councils are costing ratepayers inordinately, and are increasing.

Local government indebtedness has doubled since 2007 and is forecast to increase tenfold by 2020.

In 2007 a majority of enrolled voters in ‘to be amalgamated’ councils in Queensland voted overwhelmingly against forced amalgamations.

Prior to 2007 Queensland law required a referendum on council amalgamations, but the Beattie Government removed that provision so they could ignore the will of the majority.

The resounding plebiscite result meant that morally they owed it to voters to obey their wishes.

Regardless, in 2008 in the greatest onslaught on democracy and regional representation in Australian history and one of the worst travesties of justice, the Labor Government amalgamated 156 local councils into 73; more than halving community representation.

The LNP then offered de-amalgamation if they came to power.

In government in 2012 their new minister offered a difficult, costly demerger process which was doomed to fail. Therefore most shires did not try, and of 19 shires’ very professional submissions, 15 were ‘FAILED’. Consequently SOS Stanthorpe held a local government forum: ‘Re-

empowering Communities’.

People from across Queensland heard from experts that amalgamations such as Queensland’s do not work, and in July a state-wide lobby group, the QLGRA, was born.

QLGRA has worked to convince the government that amalgamation is not working, is not democratic, and is costing ratepayers and the state more than local councils did. We argue that citizens should determine how their local government is constituted, and that the government should set up an independent inquiry into the amalgamations.

The Minister espouses that “there will be no more de-amalgamations” but he has never explained why.

We know the true costs of de-merger are not high - nowhere near the government’s inflated estimates.

The Premier repeats that ‘he prefers councils to remain ... as they are ... he does not want to put the people through more pain’.

Ratepayers are going through more pain now because of amalgamations. The extra costs are increasing and hurting ratepayers. Businesses and communities are hurting beyond their ability to cope while councillor and senior staff costs are excessive.

Grants and subsidies traditionally available for roads, bridges, sewerage and water were cut.

This places enormous burden on councils to raise money to service community assets on the state’s behalf. Hence communities suffer an unintended consequence - cutbacks in some services, above CPI increases in rates and charges to deliver other services and the remaining costs paid for by additional borrowings, thus further increasing debt and the interest repayments.

To see the letter sent to all candidates to give them an opportunity to state their/their party’s view on the issues, visit our website http://sosaginc.wix.com/sosaginc or our 'Save Our Shire’ Facebook page.

R.N. Johnson and M. Rofe, Chairman and Secretary SOS Group, Stanthorpe.

GEMINI—May 23-June 21 Guard words carefully. It’s tempting to divulge information to the wrong parties. Best friends now are of another generation and an acquaintance who is trying to be helpful may be a little too helpful.

CANCER—June 22-July 22 Expect to meet several quite different people this week.

Best allies now are of the opposite sex. A loved one may misinterpret your intentions. Home improvements may be delayed for a little longer.

LEO—July 23-August 22 Small mixups are dotted through the week. Travel ideas may be developing into realities. In romance, a less conservative approach may appeal to your other half.

VIRGO—August 23-September 22 Travel is indicated, with the accent on spontaneity. A family member may be surprisingly stubborn, then suddenly co-operative. The weekend includes touches of glamour, humour and confusion.

LIBRA—September 23-October 22 Distractions can put you behind schedule. You may be re-shuffling plans after the weekend. Your ideas will benefit from refinement. Discoveries around the house could solve an on going mystery.

SCORPIO—October 23-November 21 Luck is with you but you can’t count on it exclusively.

You take on new challenges with great determination. Be careful not to leave projects half completed.

SAGITTARIUS—November 22-December 22 Romancewise, this can be an upbeat week. The key is to make most of all situations. Make an added attempt to simplify your life.

CAPRICORN—December 23-January 20 Friendships generally are spotlighted, with well established relationships becoming even more important.

Detail to work should not be ignored, especially where numbers and dates are involved.

AQUARIUS—January 21-February 19 There may be a dip in self confidence, but by the weekend you find yourself responding to challenges with renewed zeal. Later in the week could find you involved in a teaching role.

PISCES—February 20-March 20 This is a favourable week for assigning projects to others and assessing your own future prospects. A friend may introduce you to a new hobby that is interesting but unexpectedly costly.

BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK When you give your attention to something, you give your all - until another interest comes your way. This trait may prove frustrating to friends, but it keeps you young.

Personal relationships and renewed compliments are spotlighted. Educational interests continue to expand.

And it’s back to the sport

BACK ON THE GREENS SUMMIT bowlers turned out in numbers back on New Year’s Day for some much-needed practice and followed that up with a good turnout the following Saturday when 22 bowlers filled the greens.

Last Saturday, the 2014 triples were held and it was a tough competition with the greens running beautifully after the recent rain and the TLC of the greens crew.

In the first game, B. Wilmot, R. Capelli and T. Sweeney (23) d K. Empen, P. Zamprogno and A. Mattiazzi (14). In game two, the team of K. Mungall, J. Zamprogno and D. Barker (21) proved too good for A. White, Q. Stanley and L. Covill (17).

The first semi-final saw the team of Brian Wilmot, Rob Capelli and Tyler Sweeney successful against Attilio Zamprogno’s team, 26-13. The second semi was a close tussle with Keith Mungall’s crew proving just a little too strong for the Parker trio, 18-15.

The final was decided on Sunday and after a tough battle over 24 ends it was honours to Brian Wilmot, Rob Capelli and Tyler Sweeney.

In what promises to be another great weekend of bowls, strong nominations have been received for the first fixture of 2015, the men’s fours. Play gets under way at 9am on Saturday. The draw is as follows: Game one - C. Parker, R. Parker, D. Parker and P. Parker v G. Rubie, P. Zamprogno, A. Mattiazzi and Len Covill. Game two - B. Wilmot, J. Zamprogno, Q. Stanley and W. Thomas v A. McGlashan, K. Empen, K. Mungall and E. Zamprogno. Game three: A. Zamprogno, R. Newlands, M. Sweeney and R. Capelli v P. Davis, M. Sweeney, R. Slack and S. Martin. Semi-finals winner of game one will play the tam of A. White, R. Spiller, L. Hartley and D. Stanley. The winner of game two will then play the winner of game

three with the final to be decided on Sunday.

IN THE SWING OF THINGS STANTHORPE golfers were quickly into the swing of things - Brendan Barker had a win in the first monthly medal competition of the year with a narrow win over Kev Tooley and Darryl Boekholt. Hannah Reeves kickstarted her New Year on the course with a nett 72 which was good enough to win the ladies’ event ahead of Neta Thouard.

Last Saturday, players were forced to contend with a heavy course but the recent rain and conditions proved no concern to Greg Fraser as he returned a nett score of 64 to take the honours in the stroke event sponsored by the Commonwealth Bank. Ian Henderson showed a return to form with a nett 66 to take runner-up.

Pin shots went to Richard Reardon at 3/12 while David Gianini used his prior course knowledge to take 17. Pro-pins were evenly shared with Tony Herman at 1/10, Mark Hendry at 5/14 and Stephen Kay at 9/18 taking the balls on offer.

Tony Herman and Craig Fossey claimed the birdies nest.

In the run down, a ball was awarded to scores of 69 and better.

Margie Locke was successful in the ladies’ stroke event. A score of nett 71 just edging out Hannah Reeves who was once again in the mix finishing with nett 73. Linda Kelly had a double, taking the pin at 3/12 and the approach at 17. Kay Webb and Madeline Jarman shared in the rundown.

The second of three rounds for the Foundation Cup was also completed on Saturday - the final round to be played this weekend.

With two of three rounds to count, Kev Tooley is in the driver’s seat with a two-round total of 136. Next best is Ian Henderson on 141. Four other players have one round with a score in the sixties and will need to have a good third round to cause an upset. Players to watch are Greg Fraser, Tony Herman, Matt Leigh and Fred Wharton.

A stroke round has been scheduled for Saturday and will be sponsored by David Townsend.

It will also be the final round of the Foundation Cup. Tee off from 11.30 am and the time sheet is on the board at the club.

DAMAGED GREEN THE Sporters group also returned to the greens after only a short holiday break on 5 January.

Thirty-seven players played the back nine and had to negotiate the damage done to the 11th green by some senseless fool in a four-wheel drive.

Nic Casey took the honours with Norm Steele the runner-up. Rundowns went to Jim McPherson and Ian Anderson. Brendon Barker continued his good form to take out the best gross. Also continuing her good form was young star Hannah Reeves, who claimed the pin at the 12th. Aaron Simmers played a great shot to take out the 17th pin and Dick Hilton played a beauty to take out the pro pin. Meat tray winners were Mick ‘Red Card’ Speer and Stuart Rayner; it was good to see Stuart back after a spell.

This past Sunday he played an excellent round to take the winner’s prize ahead of Jim Walsh.

Rundowns went to Ray Thorn and Paul Armstrong who also had the best gross. The pin shot on the third went to Josh Anderson. Ian Anderson took the pro pin. Clarky and Angelo Maugeri each went home with a meat tray in tow. Sporters tee off at the normal time of 7.30am to 8.30am this Sunday.

by the Men’s monthly meeting at 11.15am.

A reminder to all that the open carnival will be on 15 February.

Ladies will be having their monthly meeting on Thursday 22 January at 1pm followed by bowls at 3pm.

WARWICK BOWLS CLUB BOWLERS will come back this year with batteries charged after the break and do it all over again in 2015.

The club Christmas Party was held on a Saturday evening preceded by a free game of bowls: 30 bowlers and their spouses attended the event. Here are the results: D. Warr, B. Johnstone, W. Tucker 13 v B. Black, P. Summers, R. Bone 5; P. Gynther, R. Valentine, B. Maunder 14 v J. Rickard, R. Smith, L. Collie 12; J. Ruhle, D. Neal, G. Kerr 16 v E. Welsh, K. Blomfield, C. Johnson 6; K. Bryson, M. Holder, L. Tucker 18 v P. Collis, B. Buckel, L. Meiklejohn 6; M. O’Leary, A. Naylor, C. Farrell 35 v L. McCosker, S. Valentine, C. McCosker 0. The winning team was

Bruce Maunder’s team on 14pts, which looks like the lowest winning margin.

Results for Dad’s Army played on Wednesday were as follows: D. Neal, M. Holder, B. Johnstone 25 v P. Summers, B. Black, D. Warr 21; R. Bone, B. Maunder, P. Wagner 20 v B. Buckel, L. Collie, M. O’Leary 14; K. Blomfield, E. Welsh 29 v A. Naylor, T. Heffernan 25; C. Farrell, W. Tucker 19 v G. Murphy, T. Wright 17. Two cards had win on them but it appears that Edwin Welsh’s team won the chooks.

I would like to thank all the sponsors on behalf of the club for their generous sponsorship during last year, also to the visiting teams and sister clubs for participation during 2014 and wish them all good bowling for 2015.

There will be no Monthly Triples in January but watch this space for our opening date towards the end of January.

WELL it is good to be back. I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas break as much as I did.

They say that good things come to those who wait and I am beginning to agree.

I can now tick the Boxing Day Test off my bucket list after Santa finally left tickets for me under the Christmas tree.

I had previously been to the MCG but never to the iconic on Boxing Day Test and I was not disappointed. We were treated to some amazing performances.

As a cricket tragic it was a delight to witness some outstanding performances, none better than the Australian captain Steve Smith and the now Indian captain Kohli.

I was particularly impressed with Chris Rogers who has confounded the critics and found some outstanding form in the long form of the game and I see no good reason to doubt he will be part of the group to head to England for the next Ashes tour.

It was great to see some of the emerging players of the future up close and personal and while Queenslander Joe Burns might not have set the world on fire at his Melbourne debut I was not surprised by his subsequent performances.

With tickets initially for only the first two days of the game I was pretty chuffed to find myself seated next to Simon O’Donnell and his son when I decided to brace against the polar bear winds and go to the final day’s play hoping like everyone else to see an exciting result.

It is on to the ODI now for the Aussies and then the World Cup and haven’t there been some raised eyebrows and I believe unfair criticisms of the selection of Michael Clarke.

Certainly is a hard gig captaining Australia, there is no doubt about that.

On the local scene, we are fast approaching the pointy end of the cricket season and football clubs have already begin pre-season training and so the 2015 merry-go-round begins.

Whatever your chosen sport I hope your team tastes success in 2015 especially if you follow the Broncos.

- Casey BACK WITH A BANG THE gang at Inglewood Sporting Shooters returned from their Christmas festivities to begin the New Year with a clay event and were joined by nine carpetbaggers who arrived from the east.

Tom Donald opened his account for 2015 with a win in the event relegating team Dudgeon, Stephanie and Ray to the minor placings.

An impromptu rimfire shoot was held after the lunch break with Quentin Chapman, Tom Donald, Ross Jackson, Tony Gamble and his two daughters, Hannah and Lucy from Victoria entering into the spirit of things and acquitting themselves well.

Last Sunday the renowned card sharp and quick-draw Doc Solomon of Texas was joined by John and Clay Maher and Doug and Alex Red-

That’s out!... Steve Smith out for 192 after a flawless innings on day two of the Boxing Day Test. mond and all enjoyed the fun and games.

With guns blazing the results of the Little Bighorn did not change. It was a great day of single action events.

Tom Donald continued his winning form while Doug Redmond and Clay Maher filled the minors in the single action events.

Quentin Chapman had more success in the rimfire event and the runners-up were once again team Dudgeon.

This Sunday, the club has scheduled muzzle loading and centrefire events and visitors are welcome.

On Saturday, a safety course beginning at 9am sharp will be held at the range on Bosnjaks Road.

You can now keep up to date with all the planned events by visiting the Sporting Shooter Association of Australia Inglewood Branch Facebook page.

Round 2: skips only, P. Collis d B. Bailey 16-14, B. Johnstone d R. Philp12-6; G. Shelley d G. Dent 22-11. Winners of the day were P. Collis's team with runners-up B. Johnstone's team.

Saturday the club tried playing twilight bowls, this was to counter the heat. With two teams away at Clifton for their carnival, the club had two rinks of triples played, along with some help from visitors and old members. The club deemed it to be a success and will continue this event of social bowls till

the weather cools. Results as follows: M. Wright, E. Osborne, E. Norman d B. Gibson, A. Wickham, Theo Francis 18-11; G. Brady, G. Osborne, I. Wright d N. Wickham, John Johnson, Rob Francis 16-15.

The main green is looking a picture at the moment and looks to reopen by the end of the month. Thanks to Noel and the team for the hours of time put into this project for the club.

Forthcoming events, social bowls Saturday, names by 5.30pm to commence at 6pm. All bowlers are most welcome to attend.

SOUTHERN CROSS BOWLS CLUB A WARM welcome to all our members for the 2015 bowling year.

The club kicks off the year with social mixed bowls this coming Sunday 18 January at 1pm. The club is looking forward to seeing everyone back on the green, so polish up your bowls and hope to see you Sunday.

The Management Committee meeting will be at 10am followed

2015 SATURDAY SHOOTOUT ON THE HORIZON THE Saturday shootout competition kicks off again on 7 February. All members who play in the Saturday comp are eligible to enter. Each entrants’ best four Stableford points scores over the year are added together to create a total.

The highest total scores from 19 participants will qualify into the final which will be held on Sunday 6 December 2015 (I don’t believe are we talking about December already.)

The top 19 players will then assemble nervously on the first tee. Following photos and squeaky voiced ‘good luck’ nods they tee off consecutively. Each plays out the hole. One person will lose on each hole, (occasionally after a battle of chip-offs) and be eliminated. By the 18th green there will be two lonely competitors and a bevy of well wishers, officials, scorers and the eliminated players (certainly not losers).

Finally one of them will win and people will whoop and holler. One of the big drawcards of this event is the opportunity for responsible gambling. A few nights before the shootout final, usually at the WGC presentation night a Calcutta is held and the players will be sold to the highest bidders following some theatrical sales pitches from the auctioneer. The whole event is full of fun and good-spirited competition.

The entry fee is a mere $30 and to nominate contact Brendon Jones or John Brack in the clubhouse any Saturday prior to 7 February.

Equally as competitive is the Saturday putting competition held in conjunction with the Warwick Real Estate monthly medal. It started on 3 January and finishes on 5 December 2015. All you need to do is record the number of putts on your scorecard each month. Job done. Putt less, write less, and win. Entry fee is $20 and you must play a minimum of eight monthly medals to qualify. Great prizes to be won and much kudos to be gained. Contact Mick Payne in the clubhouse on Saturdays or pay at the pro shop.

Another way to win from your putting prowess/luck is to come to the clubhouse on Friday night where if your name is drawn out and you

can putt the ball meagre five or six metres to the hole you take home the cash. This week that putt could win you $1,800.

ODI THE One Day International Series kicks off on Friday at the SCG when Australia takes on the Poms in the first game of the Tri series. This series against England and India is the Aussie’s final step on the road to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015.

For cricket fans there is nothing quite like seeing the Aussies go head-to-head against England.

As all teams make their final preparations for the world Cup the ODI format will see the Aussie take on India at the MCG on Sunday 18. England and India will go head to head in a game at the Gabba on Tuesday, 20 January.

Tasmanians get their chance to check out the Poms when they play the Aussie’s at Blundstone Arena on Friday 23.

The tradition of One Day games at the SCG on Australia Day continues with the Aussies taking on India.

India will go on to play the Poms at the WACA on 30 January prior to the final at the same ground on 1 February. A few weeks of intense One Day Cricket prior to the World Cup are sure to throw us some curve balls and strained hammies if the recently completed Test series is any indicator.

BIG WIN FOR YOUNG VALLEYS SIDE A YOUNG Valleys side last weekend broke RSL’s unbeaten run in this year’s Stanthorpe Cricket competition and picked up a bonus point on the way.

RSL has been in sensational form all season and when Valley fielded a side with eight players under 21 - four playing their first game of the season they were expected to notch up another easy win but as all cricket enthusiast know - cricket can be a strange game.

RSL won the toss and as expected took first use of the wicket. RSL were knocked for six when Hayden Smith claimed an early wicket but managed to regroup when Sam Dowie and Duane Lihou combined to take the score to a respectable 1/64.

IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE? WHEN Valleys batted they got off to a flyer with John Fletcher and Alistair Middleton taking the score to 38 after six overs. Small partnerships had the Valleys side thinking the impossible was possible. But some very tight bowling from Duane Lihou and Luke Brady continued to build the pressure through wickets. One over late in the innings - where the Valleys captain cleared the fence twice - relieved the pressure somewhat, until it came down to one run and one wicket for either side to claim the win. A quick single to mid-wicket allowed Valleys to claim an unlikely victory.

CAMERON STEERS SOUTHS SOUTHS’ batsman Tom Cameron blazed an unbeaten 129 runs to set his team up for a comfortable win over Wanderers at the weekend. Batting first Souths’ amassed 212 runs in their innings for the loss of eight wickets. Cameron was the backbone of the innings hitting some thunderous drives down the ground. Cameron found plenty of support from the in-form youngster Jordan Lanza (15) and Toby Culham (14). Best bowling performances for Wanderers came from Tim Harslett and Jamie Carnell.

In reply the Souths’ bowlers ripped through the Wanderers top order. Peter Patti batted well for Wanderers top scoring with 55, however the Souths’ bowlers always looked to have control of the game and dismissed their opponents for 139 in the 35th over. Toby Culham backed up his batting with a fine performance with the ball taking 2/17. Tom Furness also bowled well taking 3/28 as did Caleb Hutchings.

The win gave Souths much-needed points as they struggle to stay in touch on the ladder - but with a great track record in the Stanthorpe premiership stakes no-one would be prepared to write off their chances at this stage.

While RSL look to have an unassailable lead of 44 points there are only a few points separating the remaining teams. This weekend RSL plays Wanderers who are sitting in third spot on 18 points. Valleys (20) will be looking to cement their spot on the ladder and continue the good form they showed last Saturday when they take on Souths (15). These two sides have a catch up game yet to be played.

WARWICK COURSE PLAYING TO PERFECTION CONDITIONS on the Warwick golf course were perfect last weekend with the course looking and playing better than it has for years.

With golfers obviously still in holiday mode the Friday Red Rooster Rumble continues to draw good numbers. Last week 31 players enjoyed the conditions - none more than Barry Hockings (23) who won the event after a countback from Adam Byrne. Rundown balls went to 19. Pins with the Red Rooster vouchers were collected by Barry Hockings (11), Cameron Charles (13) and at 16 Jack Pearson.

Saturday’s single stableford sponsored by the Horse and Jockey Hotel Motel attracted 40 players. The winner with 41 points was Evan Pfeffer and runner-up was Keith Clarke on 40 points (on a countback). The ball rundown went to Brett Donovan and Brendon Jones (40), Nathan Jones (39), Trevor King and Herbert Ware (37).

Timesheets are in the clubhouse for this Saturday’s single Stableford event and the Australia Day two ball Ambrose on Monday 26 January.

Just as both batsmen were looking settled and ready to build a big score Valley’s captain Damian Anderson had Duane Lihou and in coming batsman Luke Brady dismissed in the same over.

The Dowie brothers pushed the score along before some good field from Alistair Middleton and a mix-up between the batsmen saw Will Dowie back in the clubhouse. John Fletcher bowled well for Valleys, finishing with the excellent figures of 4/16 as Valleys restricted their opponents to a very gettable total of 125 but not before Sam Dowie (53) claimed another half century.

John Fletcher and Alistair Middleton each had a great start with the bat and pushed the score to 38 after only six overs.

Fletcher found the boundary on four occasions in his innings and Alistair Middleton smashed a boundary and a six in his quickfire 19.

The Valley’s captain also did his it with the bat adding a valuable 20 runs which included two big sixes.

The RSL bowling attack of Duane Lihou (5/18) and Luke Brady (2/21) put plenty of pressure on the young Valleys side however they were up to the task and in a game that could have gone either way Valleys snuck home for an upset win.

Damian Anderson 3/19, Hayden Smith 1/21.

MOODY FACING LENGTHY BAN IT HAS been revealed that champion trainer Peter Moody of Black Caviar fame is facing a possible three-year ban after his horse Lidari returned a positive urine sample for elevated cobalt levels after running second in the Turnbull stakes at Flemington during the Spring Carnival. A maximum cobalt level has been in place in Victoria for nine months.

VRC chief Steward Terry Bailey said, “We put in place a threshold of 200 micrograms per litre in April last year. We have had the drug’s presence confirmed by labs in Western Australia and Hong Kong.”

Cobalt is a naturally occurring trace element but illegal treatment can produce similar effects to banned blood-boosting drug EPO. Moody is said to be devastated and claims no knowledge or understanding as to how this could have occurred.

The champion trainer says he will work with the Racing Victoria Integrity Services Department to bring this matter to a conclusion as soon as possible.

Lidari, owned by former Australia cricketer Simon O’Donnell and Terry Henderson’s OTI Racing, may lose second-place prize money from the Turnbull Stakes if Moody is found guilty.

Peter Moody is not the first Victorian trainer to be investigated for positive cobalt levels.

The father and son training team of Lee and Shannon Hope last month were notified a horse had returned a positive cobalt test in Victoria. The Hopes have three horses under investigation. Expect to hear much more of this in coming weeks.

WHEATVALE NOTCH UP WIN WHEATVALE notched up another win for the season last Saturday when they proved too strong for Sovereign Animals in the Condamine Cup cricket match against Wheatvale at Slade Park on Saturday. Despite a gutsy performance from Sovereigns' Anthony Nero who remained undefeated on 62 Wheatvale chased down the total of 142 runs in only 22 overs. After bagging three Sovereign wickets Paul Cantwell starred with the bat for Wheatvale, scoring 38 in an impressive all-round performance.

COLTS PICK UP POINTS THE Warwick Hotel Colts picked up the competition points in their game against Allora in Allora in last weekend’s fixtures. Allora were 9/161 at the close of their innings. In another fine performance with the bat, Luke Cullen scored an eyecatching 49.

Colts looked confident in their run chase and their six-wicket win was set up by the solid performance of their opening partnership of Geoff Thorley (51) and Maugan Benn (58). It took only 26 overs for Colts to reach the required target, losing only four wickets along the way.

Best bowling performances of the day came from Fraser McVeigh who finished with 2-9 and Maugan Benn 2-38 for Colts while Allora bowler Allan Shanks took a tidy 1/19 from his four overs.

BOWLERS IN FORM MARYVALE Condamine set their opponents Railway Hotel Rascals a target of 202 in Sunday’s fixture game at Slade Park. The Allora side was making a good fist of the run chase in their first session but some fine bowling from youngsters Sam Gordon and Mitch Bourke began their undoing.

Bourke claimed two wickets in his first over before finishing with figures of 2/8 from only four overs. Sam Gordon removed Allora’s topscoring batsman Joe Morris for 25 and in a seven over spell took 3/16 as Rascals capitulated to give Maryvale Condamine a fine win.
