LAST CHANCE

Cascading fan photo THE picturesque beauty of the Southern Downs has been captured once again with this snap of Queen Mary Falls making it into Tourism Australia’s Friday Fan Photo Album.

The falls, which are just outside Killarney in Main Range National Park, spill over a basalt ledge and plummet 40 metres to the pool below. A must see-tourist attraction, the falls lookout point is located 400 metres from the picnic grounds where a well-defined walking track continues to the base of the falls.

The circuit is about two kilometres and takes approximately 40 minutes to walk.

In December, a picture of a field of blooming sunflowers near Allora was voted into the same album.

SDRC mayor Peter Blundell sidestepped that question, but did confirm council was aware of the circumstances surrounding Mr Keenan’s dismissal prior to his appointment.

“Mr Keenan disclosed these matters to the recruitment consultant who was conducting the process for us, and was more than happy to discuss these matters during his interview,” Cr Blundell said.

sparked uproar, with several hundred residents turning out to protest meetings.

But while Mr Roach subsequently won an unfair dismissal case, a review by NSW Division of Local Government representatives of the factors that led to Mr Keenan’s termination found he was sacked on legitimate grounds.

It raises the question - is the candidate pool so low that SDRC must revert to applicants with a controversial past?

IN JUST six days, Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) will welcome its new CEO. But David Keenan’s exit from his last local government job as general manager of Tweed Shire Council, has an eerily similar narrative to that of his SDRC predecessor, Andrew Roach.

Like Mr Roach, who was dismissed from the top job at Port Macquarie-Hastings Council in Febru-

ary 2011 after an investigation was launched into several complaints, Mr Keenan was also sacked.

On 7 November 2013, local media reported that confidential documents obtained through Freedom of Information showed that then mayor, Barry Longland, and majority of councillors ousted Mr Keenan as they believed he had been disloyal for co-operating with independent investigations into council.

At the time, the axing of Mr Keenan, less than a year into the job,

Checks, balances for Family First

By JONATHON HOWARD FAMILY First candidate John Spellman is campaigning across the Southern Downs electorate for Queensland to introduce a “house of review” policy to bring checks and balances to elected governments.

“Family First are campaigning strongly on the implementation of a house of review for Queensland.

“All other states have a house of review to bring in appropriate checks and balances against non-democratic and dictatorial actions of the elected government,” he said. Mr Spellman

said he also supported the de-amalgamation of councils where a clear majority of ratepayers choose to do so.

“Some amalgamations have been successful, but not all.

“Increases in rates, debt, and decreases in services are a concern for residents in the Southern Downs.

Please note this is not an official Family First policy,” he said.

A long-time campaigner for the Family First party, Mr Spellman said he saw the Southern Downs in five years as a place that should be pros-

perous and peaceful “where farming, mining, tourism and all business and social activities are in harmony with each other and the environment.

“A great place to live and raise a family with jobs for all,” he said.

Mr Spellman acknowledged the LNP margin and he spoke highly of current incumbent MP Lawrence Springborg.

“My only concern is because of the large margin he has in the electorate, he may become complacent concerning local issues,” Mr Spellman said.

Hiring of sacked CEO From page 1 “The matter was thoroughly investigated, and we were reassured that Mr Keenan was unjustly and unfairly treated.”

Former mayor and current councillor Barry Longland said he was “surprised” when he “saw the appointment”.

“I have to acknowledge that the Southern Downs council makes its own appointments without reference to other councils,” Cr Longland said.

“I wish him well.”

Tweed Shire councillor Warren Polglase, who disagreed with the way Mr Keenan was sacked at the time, said the new recruit would be an “asset” to the Southern Downs.

“Of course he will (work in best interests of council),” Cr Polglase said.

“I had no problems with his ability.

“There was a process which was used to get him dismissed.”

John Spellman.

David Keenan will begin his new role as Southern Downs Regional Council CEO on 28 January.

In brief Land sale SOUTHERN Downs Regional Council has accepted an offer for land situated on the north-western frontage to Rowley Court, Stanthorpe.

Australian Vinegar Pty Ltd offered $135,000 (GST exclusive) for the proposed one-hectare industrial lot.

Councillors Denise Ingram and Neil Meiklejohn voted against the motion.

Lawyers show up

AUSTRALIA DAY C E L E B R AT E Y O U R WAY

LAWYERS will be invited to the council’s January meeting to provide further clarification on the use of Stanthorpe Showgrounds.

Councillors agreed to defer consideration of the report on the ancillary use of the grounds in order to seek further explanation.

No nuisance A BUSINESS locale at 44 Old Stanthorpe Road, Warwick, will be slapped with a notice to cease creating an environmental nuisance.

Council will commence legal action against the owner of the land for non-compliance with DA conditions.

Lack of resolve A RESOLUTION to resolve the appeal against council’s refusal of a 39-unit development in Rowland Street, Warwick, has lapsed for want of a seconder.

Cr Jamie Mackenzie put forward the resolution which aimed to achieve an amenable resolution to the appeal in the Planning and Environment Court in order to save substantial costs.

The resolution included the council being prepared to approve an alternative proposal after seeking satisfactory engineering solutions for stormwater drainage, water supply and sewerage provisions.

Australia Day means something different to everyone, and it’s important you do what’s right for you. So on January 26, reflect on what you love about being Australian.

Strong smell of gas

By ALENA HIGGINS

POLICE are investigating a fatal traffic crash that occurred on Tuesday night near Warwick.

A car and a truck collided head on around 8.50pm on the Cunningham Highway near the Leslie Dam Road intersection.

An 18-year-old man, and sole occupant of the car, was pronounced deceased at the scene and the 51-year-old male truck driver was transported to Warwick Hospital to be treated for shock.

The highway was closed for several hours and has since re-opened.

The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.

Airlifted to hospital A local landholder has said “no” to an offer to provide environmental offsets to mining and gas companies. for the region.

“I would advise farmers to be very careful before signing anything and to seek legal advice before doing so,” she said.

“The best advice though is to Lock the Gate and not talk to these people. Coexistence is non-existent.

“I would also suggest that residents

of the Southern Downs think carefully when placing their vote next week. These mines are just the beginning.”

A Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP) spokeswoman said 1216 letters were sent out to landholders in the Southern Brigalow Belt bioregion and the letter “is not in relation to a specific project”.

She would not speculate on the financial benefits, saying commercial agreement are between the landholder and proponent.

“The proposed projects are subject to full regulatory assessment process,” the spokeswoman said.

A TEENAGE boy was airlifted to hospital on Friday night after he was involved in a motorcycle accident near Warwick.

A helicopter air ambulance landed at the accident scene 30 kilometres east of Warwick and the critical care medical team treated the teenager for head trauma.

He was transported to Brisbane in a critical condition.

A STATE government letter offering local landholders financial incentives to provide environmental offsets for proposed mining and gas projects has sparked alarm.

Goomburra Valley dairy farmer Gary Christensen received the letter on Tuesday and immediately forwarded it to president of the Southern Downs Protection Group, Sarah Moles.

The letter, titled ‘Environmental offsets - opportunity for additional information’, says “there are a number of mining and gas projects proposed for the Surat Basin in the Southern Brigalow Belt bioregion”.

It says sites are being sought to counteract lost habitat that can be managed by landholders to “provide these offsets in the same region that the impact is occurring” in the event the projects proceed.

Mr Christensen was told his property was identified through a desktop analysis as having possible environmental offset values and therefore presented him with an opportunity to gain an additional income stream for up to 20 years.

But the milk producer was not having a bar of it.

“I’m not interested,” he said.

“I’d rather go broke doing what I am doing then see them wreck the country.”

Mr Christensen said he wanted the community to be aware that mining companies were “sniffing around before it’s too late”.

The correspondence comes just months after he received a letter from APEC Coal advising him of its desire to begin negotiations for coal exploration drilling on his property.

Greens candidate Elizabeth Ure said the mining companies involved needed to come clean immediately and advise the community what they had planned

MP talks up economy SOUTHERN Downs MP Lawrence Springborg has pounced on new figures revealing a 0.7 per cent fall in unemployment rates across the Sunshine State.

The Minister for Health said residents in his electorate could be assured that confidence was returning to the local economy with Queensland recording the biggest drop in unemployment of any state in Australia.

The ABS Labour Force figures released last Friday show a 0.7 per

cent fall in the unemployment rate (seasonally adjusted) in Queensland to 6.1 per cent.

“The unemployment rate falling 0.7 per cent in December is great news, with 34,400 full-time jobs being created across the state,” Mr Springborg said.

“But at 6.1 per cent, I know there is still more work to be done.

“Residents in the Southern Downs want to know they can provide for their families and ensure their children will be able

for young Queenslanders.

“The way we get jobs is to have a strong economy and you cannot have a strong economy without a strong economic plan,” Mr Springborg said.

“The LNP has the stable team to deliver a stronger Queensland.”

Mr Springbord will go head-tohead with Labor’s Louise Ryan, Greens’ Elizabeth Ure and Family First candidate John Spellman at the state election on Saturday 31 January.

to find rewarding jobs.

“Only the LNP has a strong plan to keep growing the Queensland economy, with fully costed job creation programs that would generate even more jobs for our local residents.”

Mr Springborg said the Newman LNP Government’s Strong Choices plan would directly support 33,600 full time jobs in Queensland, while a $91 million Jobs of Tomorrow package would create an additional 26,000 job and training places

Burial wall comes to life CONSTRUCTION of an extra 24 vaults at the Stanthorpe Burial Wall will go ahead with funding from the sale of Applethorpe Tafe.

Southern Downs Regional Council was in two minds about building block A of stage two because it had not budgeted for the project in this financial year.

But after deferring its decision in June 2014 and undertaking community consultation, councillors finally agreed at its December meeting to fund the structure using proceeds from the sale of the Tafe.

Councillors also resolved to pay the money back as the vaults were sold and to amend the 2014/’15 schedule of fees and charges to reflect the cost of the vaults at $5200 each, being cost recovery only.

The fee per vault was previously $8240 which reflected the approximate cost to construct the facility plus the estimated cost to maintain the facility over a 50-year period.

Stage one of the outdoor burial wall, which was completed in June 2013, proved extremely popular, with all 90 vaults swiftly reserved.

The wall is estimated to cost between $100,000 and $125,000.

Councillors have agreed to go ahead with the burial wall.

Readers slam street makeover

By ALENA HIGGINS STANTHORPE’S streetscape is back in the headlines, but for all the wrong reasons, according to Free Times readers.

Residents have accused Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) of squandering ratepayers’ money after it indicated it would spend $82,500 engaging an architect and undertaking a streetscape study.

Defending its decision, SDRC acting director of engineering services Chris Whitaker said the council made the decision in camera at last month’s general meeting after “many years of requests from the community and local organisations”.

“Council has decided to proceed with the initial phases of the Stanthorpe streetscape which will include community consultation and preparation of the streetscape masterplan,” Mr Whitaker said.

“The chosen landscape architect John Mongard from Brisbane has extensive regional experience and was involved with specific previous projects in Stanthorpe.”

A number of Free Times readers wrote in condemning the move saying the council could not afford the survey let alone the slated improvements.

Mr Whitaker said the council would begin community engagement on 20 February.

“Part of the community engagement process will involve leasing a vacant shop in High Street and all interested members of the community will be encouraged to pay a visit,” he said.

Bad management WHY are councillors such bad managers?

I have come to the conclusion that councillors of Tenterfield Shire and perhaps those of the Southern Downs Shire are so completely out of touch with their constituents; and the reasons are some councillors in main are illiterate.

However the Southern Downs councillors are not my concern and I will leave it to somebody else to comment on them.

The actions of Tenterfield Council over the last couple of years is an ill-led body led by an inexperienced mayor running amok. Some councillors have very little education and lack experience and financial management skills to make satisfactory decisions.

Councillors need to have at least Year 10 qualifications which cover appropriate subjects.

Jack Clarke, Rivertree.

Set to be shot

Pox on both of ’em I FOR one will never vote in this wonderful country again for a Labor or Liberal Government.

They make promises, tell us lies, sack many workers and like Campbell Newman give themselves a $70,000 a year pay rise along with many others in so-called leadership positions.

No wonder our country is in a deficit, giving every one of our precious leaders and politicians a five and six figure salary every year after they stop serving. Then we have our own homeless and this government reduce or take away funding for everything worthwhile.

Now we are made up of unpaid volunteers keeping the fabric of our community going, not these big fat greedy leaders who allow coal seam gas exploiters to ruin our land. We still use ancient energy, coal burning, and fossil burning in a high-tech world!

We are next on the extinction list, yes humans are next as our oxygen levels have fallen to 13-14 percent from 35 per cent.

We cannot and will not be able to adjust as is seen where they wear masks now in other countries and on the same Earth. The mad mentality of all this is beyond any thinker’s comprehension.

I feel they are indeed corrupt. I shall never vote for any of these governments, nor trust them again. People, just don’t leave a vote and they may get the message.

Donna Nevin, Killarney.

Thanks from Salvos ON BEHALF of The Salvation Army, I would like to take this opportunity to thank local residents and businesses for the generous support they provided over the Christmas and New Year period.

Whether you volunteered at your local community Christmas lunch, donated financially to The Salvation Army, donated gifts for individuals and families in need or provided support in your own unique way, The Salvation Army thanks you.

Through your support, The Salvation Army has been able to provide hope where it is needed most.

Over the Christmas period, The Salvation Army was able to assist over 300,000 people both financially and materially, as well as share in over 8000 Christmas meals nationally with people who would otherwise have had nowhere else to

celebrate.

This year, Queenslanders kindly donated 78,675 gifts to local Kmart stores as part of the Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal.

If you have not already donated and would like to donate, there is still an opportunity by calling 13SALVOS (13 72 58) or through our website at salvos.org.au The Salvation Army would like to thank you for your ongoing support and wish you, your families and community the very best for 2015.

God Bless, Major Bruce Harmer, Communications and Public Relations Secretary, The Salvation Army.

Hear our verdict THE new SDRC CEO might like to hear our verdict on council rates and charges as he repeats his aspirations which each and every previous CEO has spoken before him!

Firstly how about bringing one’s own lunch to work! At a recent council meeting in Stanthorpe the four massive trays of food to feed about a dozen people shocked ratepayers who tried to calculate the cost, appeared to be lunch! $65,000 seems a lot of money for council expenses with one councillor outspending others. Why is disaster education in schools necessary?

Since forced amalgamation ratepayers have had a series of VIPs running the council with Councillor Meiklejohn talking up a storm on his free mobile phone.

Apparently being a councillor pays well, for the effort to be elected has naught to do with desire to serve. An administrator sounds a better deal for ratepayers, one doing the job that now takes dozens.

Last word for CEO Keenan, chickens coming home to roost in Allora by the millions are not a good idea! Neither is mining the heart of Goomburra Valley to its certain death, on the council lands you control!

Melba Morris, Allora.

THE recent news of Indonesia delivering the death penalty via firing squad to convicted drug traffickers sits at the most extreme end of the global war on drugs ... a response that does not rest well with most Australians.

However, we almost ought to be uncomfortable with our response to our own drug problem here on the Granite Belt, where programs to deliver sane, humane and accessible services has been lost.

Five years ago Drug Arm employed two clinicians based in Warwick (and another two based in

Stanthorpe) providing specialist support. (These positions were in addition to the one Queensland Health clinician that has always been based at Warwick Hospital and visits Stanthorpe one day per week).

The loss of a federal funded program in 2010 reduced that capacity to one full-time worker at each location.

Last year the Queensland Government awarded new contracts for the provision of communitybased treatment services to support those individuals and families impacted by abuse of alcohol and other drugs.

Rather than enhancing support available locally, the outcome created a six-month service delivery hiatus, which now appears set to remain.

Drug Arm (the not-for-profit agency that has delivered these services) has been recontracted to provide a service aligned with the Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service.

However, it is understood that the worker will be in Warwick for only three days per week, and Toowoomba for the remaining two days.

This constitutes a serious loss of service delivery, especially for Stanthorpe - here the worker may visit only once per week at best. Meanwhile, the drug problem continues to grow.

On 11 June the Queensland Government announced a funding boost for alcohol and drug services, with a new process to ensure that resources are allocated where they are needed most. To date, this has failed to deliver for the people of this electorate.

Mr Springborg, please honour your government’s commitment to ‘supporting those Queenslanders who battle substance use and assist them to live healthier lives’ and also your indication that the ‘priority will be to ensure clients continue to receive the care they need when and where they need it most’.

Where do they need it? Stanthorpe ... and Warwick. When do they need it? Now! David Entermann, Eukey.

New patients are always welcome

Peppertree Medical has been servicing the needs of Warwick residents for almost 3 years. Due to the enormous support we have received during this time, our business has expanded and grown and we are currently undergoing some exciting changes including relocating to new premises.

Presented By Your Local Toastmaster Clubs

“The Mobile Telehealth Unit will allow local patients and doctors to perform video conferencing with specialists in Brisbane or Toowoomba, directly from a patient’s bedside in Texas,” the MP said.

“Telehealth is a fantastic tool that improves patient access to health care, reduces travel times for patients, their families and specialists and gives health professionals access to peer support and education.”

Mr Springborg said the sensor mats would help improve patient safety.

“These sensor mats help detect patient falls and medical professionals have told me they will be particularly useful at night when patients may attempt to leave their beds.”

The Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST) ultrasound machine is used to screen the abdomen of a trauma patient to identify internal bleeding, while the

In any group of Toastmasters you will find people of diverse backgrounds. They might include farmers, teachers, students, retirees, plumbers and housewives (househusbands too). Age, occupation and educational level are not an issue. What does matter is a person’s willingness to join in, to have a go and to have a genuine intent to improve the status quo.

Many join for a specific short term gain. The goal might be an upcoming daughter’s wedding where a speech is required, or gaining employment in a specific work environment. Others join to improve their chances of advancement at work and retirees join to keep the grey matter from stagnating. There are many reasons for joining Toastmasters – more than one individual has joined to find a life partner (and succeeded!).

with specialists in Brisbane or Toowoomba via phone video connections, would be a great asset to the community.

“We have already seen the benefits of a stationary Telehealth sytem and having new mobile technology, where we can take the camera straight to the patient’s bedside will be of particular benefit to our eldery clients,” Ms Barry said.

The Vein Seeker uses infrared technology to assist nurses and doctors when inserting a drip.

Hospital hardship

Cheque out this healthy video STANTHORPE Hospital’s Cancer Support Group has welcomed a cheque for $10,000 to purchase hi-tech video equipment.

Member for Southern Downs Lawrence Springborg handed over the cheque on Saturday.

Support group spokeswoman Ann Barry said the mobile Telehealth equipment, which allowed patients to conduct appointments

Actually they are not!

“Having to travel with walking frames and wheelchairs can really take it out of them - especially for only a 10-minute appointment, so this equipment will help them focus on getting better.”

Mr Springborg also committed a $35,000 ultrasound machine, $7500 care assist bed, $10,000 birthing stirrups and an $8000 vein seeker to the Granite Belt hospital.

PATIENTS and visitors at the Goondiwindi Hospital may experience some minor disruption as work is undertaken to replace pipes as part of an upgrade to the water reticulation system at the hospital.

The work commenced on 19 January and will take several months to complete.

January sees the start of the second half of the Toastmaster year with many clubs gearing up for membership drives, followed by competitions and conferences to take part in. And, for every member, the new year also provides the opportunity of presenting a speech that will be their personal best.

If you have ever wondered what goes on during a Toastmasters meeting or have an inkling that perhaps you may benefit, gather up your courage and give it a go. There is no obligation or cost to visit a club and you will be warmly welcomed. It may even be the start of a life change for the better. Why not consider Toastmasters for this new year?

1170537-PB04-15

INGLEWOOD and Texas hospitals will be given a technological boost, with the two facilities sharing in more than $80,000 worth of new medical equipment.

Southern Downs MP Lawrence Springborg visited the electorate at the weekend and stopped by both hospitals to announce the funding.

“As a local resident and Minister for Health I know how important it is to provide rural hospitals with the technology they need to best treat people away from the big cities,“ he said.

Mr Springborg pledged an ultrasound machine, care assist bed and vein seeker to Inglewood Hospital and a mobile telehealth unit, vein seeker and sensor mats to Texas Hospital.

He said the mobile telehealth unit was an important part of modern medicine for rural and regional Queenslanders.

“TOASTMASTERS – ah yes, I’ve heard of them. They’re the stuffy group of intellectuals who make people do public speaking, aren’t they?”

THERE’S a new way to see the beautiful surrounds of the Granite Belt and it’s the healthiest and greenest mode of transport yet.

After being “blown away” by the scenery on a weekend trip to Stanthorpe a few years ago, former Brisbanites Jon Hendry and Vanessa Boulton last month moved to the area and opened a bicycle tours and hire business.

“We were surprised there were no hire bicycles available, especially after discovering the bike trail south to Ballandean,” Mr Hendry said.

“After 18 months of planning, we moved away from triathlon coaching and web administration in Brisbane to start our new life and new business venture here on the Granite Belt.”

The couple, who have a twoyear-old daughter, have purchased a new fleet of specialised hybrid bikes for all ages, which can be hired from Leslie Parade, just near the Visitor Information Centre or through the business’s website granitebeltbicycles.com.au.

“You don’t need a high level of

They offer the option of collecting customers and their bikes from wineries or other locations across the Granite Belt and dropping the bikes off at accommodation spots.

Granite Belt Wine and Tourism marketing manager Guy Cantrel said the way Mr Hendry meticulously prepared a business plan and catalogued all the various tracks and worked out which type of bike would best suit the conditions was “commendable”.

He said it was a concept that was missing from the region and would have a big impact from a tourism perspective.

“It will offer a viable alternative,” Mr Cantrel said.

“I think many people come here for the wine but we also have to cater for families.

“Having the opportunity to discover the region at a slow pace on a bike as a family is wonderful.”

And locals can get pedaling as well with the duo starting an initiative called the Wednesday Wobble.

EMERGENCY services were kept busy on Saturday, responding to two fires.

The first occured shortly after 7pm on Dalcouth Road, Dalcouth, when cooking oil caught on fire resulting in the destruction of a shed.

Meanwhile, about midnight, NSW police requested the assistance of Stanthorpe police at a house fire in Liston. Stanthorpe police attended and found the house well ablaze, assisting at the scene until Tenterfield police arrived and took over the investigation.

Blood test A 37-YEAR-OLD Dalveen man was taken into custody and transported to hospital about 2.20am on Saturday after a passing witness observed a damaged vehicle on the side of Rabbit Fence Road with a male apparently asleep behind the wheel.

A blood specimen was taken from the man and sent away for analysis after police detected the smell of liquor on his breath.

Visitors charged POLICE patrolling the Glen Aplin area about 11.40pm on Saturday attempted to intercept two

vehicles near the intersection of Reid Road and the New England Highway.

The driver of one of the vehicles stopped and began walking off while the second attempted to reverse to avoid police.

The drivers of the vehicles, both overseas visitors, were detained and found to be affected by liquor.

One, aged 26, later recorded .109 per cent and the other, a 28-year-old, .064 per cent.

Both will appear in Stanthorpe Magistrates’ Court in February charged with drink driving.

Carpark crash A MINOR traffic crash in the carpark of Stanthorpe IGA on Sunday evening resulted in the driver of one of the vehicles being charged with drink driving.

The 58-year-old Pozieres man recorded a high reading of .211 per cent.

Crop chop TWO men were charged with producing dangerous drugs after a cannabis crop was located off Limberlost Road, Fletcher.

As a result of inquiries, police later executed search warrants on two addresses in Symes and Ellevsen streets, Stanthorpe, where the two, aged 30 and 31 were taken into custody.

Further drugs, including amphetamines, were located at the addresses resulting in further drug related charges.

Smoked out AT ABOUT 3pm last Thursday police located a Ford utility containing containing three males parked in Donnellys Castle Road, Thulimbah.

On being approached, police detected a strong smell of cannabis resulting in a search of the vehicle.

One occupant, a 19-year-old man, was later charged with possessing dangerous drugs after a quantity of cannabis and a smoking utensil were located in the vehicle.

Domestic dispute POLICE responded to a domestic disturbance in Roberts Road on Sunday morning where a male had destroyed property at the residence.

The 26-year-old man was taken into custody and transported to Warwick Watchhouse charged with destruction of property and breaching a Domestic Violence Order.

An objection to bail was lodged as the man was currently on bail, which included reporting conditions, for previous offences.

new to riding a bike, hasn’t been on a bike for some time and need to find their groove or is just getting back into some low impact exercise,” Mr Hendry explained.

“The first few rides will be around Quart Pot Creek and it will be at a pace that no-one gets left behind.”

The ride is open to those who have bikes and those that don’t and the first Wednesday Wobble will begin at 8.30am on 4 February.

Those wishing to register or book a bike can call Ms Boulton on 0421 735 470.

Call up for young leaders THE hunt is on for two or three young people from Stanthorpe to join the Southern Downs Young Leaders Program for 2015.

The council adopted and confirmed 11 nominated appointees last month but only one of those, Liana Allen, was from Stanthorpe, with the rest being from Warwick.

Apparently four young people from the Granite Belt indicated interest at joining, but this did not lead to completion of application forms.

Those already appointed to the 2015 program include Dominic Andersen-Strudwick, Jack Kearns, Sarah Pickering, Elizabeth Dennis, Kai Page, Gabe Howard, Jasmine Watts, Jacob Meiklejohn and Ms Allen.

Mr Andersen-Strudwick and Ms Dennis have previously taken part in the program - Mr AndersenStrudwick in 2014 and Ms Dennis in 2013 and 2014.

To qualify, young leaders have to be aged between 15 and 25 and interested in supporting a variety of major community events.

Those on the program will also get to have their say on council planning schemes, master plans and youth policy.

Those interested can contact the council’s youth development officer Hailey Cosh on 1300 697 372.

All the fun of the show THE 2015 Stanthorpe Show is gearing up to be the best yet, with a revamped prime cattle section and two nights of colourful fireworks.

Ringmaster Teena Wilcock said the official opening will begin on Friday 30 January at 5pm, with Sarah Hannah, the 2014 Queensland Rural Ambassador, doing the honours.

The young farmers challenge will follow about 6pm

before the Kent Saddlery Outback Riders will burst into the arena to play out the Man from Snowy River story.

For those wanting to kick on, why not enjoy the sounds of Roger Ilott and Penny Davis and The Cole Train, who will be performing at the Wine Pavilion until late on Friday night.

Ms Wilcock, whose family has been involved in the Stanthorpe show since the ’40s, said the event had changed dramatically over the years, but it had

lost none of its fun and frivolity.

“We have to be so much more professional now, not only with how we run the show, but also with the competitions,” she said.

“But that doesn’t stop the excitement of competition or going to the show - it is really fun.”

The Demolition Derby is the final event of the 2015 JJ Richards Stanthorpe Show, which will be held over two days on 30 and 31 January.

Jack Frost’s summer visits Stanthorpe-based Robert MacMaurice has an eye for detail and research skills to match and he has agreed to share the fruits of his labour with Southern Free Times readers with occasional contributions. This, his fourth piece, is on summer frost in the Southern Downs.

I’VE heard talk over the years of frosts occurring in summer in the Southern Downs district but have never experienced it myself.

It sounds like such a contradiction!

Recently, I decided to find out exactly when there have been such occurrences. I’ve come up with a list of 11 recorded observations of frosts in summer for the area.

In compiling this list I have been strict in noting only frosts that have occurred between 1 December, and 28 or 29 February.

It was tempting to add in observations for late spring and early autumn events, but I’m only noting those dates that strictly occur in summer.

My sources have been from various newspapers and particularly, but not exclusively from the website trove.nla. gov.au.

The dates that I have found are: 13 December 1883, 10 February 1904, January 1920, 6 December 1929, 17 December 1929, 25 December 1932, 2 December 1934, 11 January 1934, 3 February 1935, 27 February 1938 and 13 December 1938.

You will have noted that I haven’t got a precise date for 1920.

This is because my source, The Rockhampton Morning Bulletin of Thursday 13 January 1921, page 9, in a review of the weather of 1920, states: “In January an odd record was reported from Wallangarra, namely “frost in low lying parts,” a hitherto unrecorded event for mid-summer."

I have searched for other records, but only have this reference and so

Snow covered landscape, looking towards Stanthorpe from Mount Marlay, 1925. take it at face value.

The observation of 25 December 1932 is also notable, because it has been mentioned to me by a number of older residents of Stanthorpe, that it has snowed in Stanthorpe on Christmas Day. I have always been surprised by that, and have never been able to find a historic report of such an occasion.

This report in The Queensland Times of Thursday 29 December 1932, page 8 appears reliable.

I can imagine now, that waking up to a frosty Christmas morning may have converted to a story of snow in the retellings and misunderstandings of communications in subsequent years.

What is perhaps remarkable about this list is the emphasis of dates around the 1930s and little beyond.

It made me wonder if perhaps some instances were not being recorded.

I’ve dismissed this notion, though, because what is obvious, in my read-

Ph: 07 4661 5399 www.krplumbing.com.au

Picture: STATE LIBRARY OF QUEENSLAND

ing, is that throughout all the years since habitation of this town in 1872, frosts are noted in detail throughout all of the years and there is also an emphasis on trying to predict such occurrences for the benefit of the farmers.

When summer frosts are reported it is always with a tone of surprise. In winter the tone changes to dread!

I also wondered if such observations might not have been made in the early years, but again the winter months at any time of history are full of frost reports.

These summer occurrences of frost are seemingly very rare. Why haven’t we had such events since the 1930s?

There may be more dates to add to this list.

I can only note the ones I have been able to find in the weather observations of various newspapers from the time of first settlement in the region.

I’d welcome hearing, through the pages of The Southern Free Times, of recorded observations that others may be aware of.

Show calls for fat cattle

By ALENA HIGGINS THE head of the cattle section at the Stanthorpe Show has made an impassioned plea to graziers in an attempt to beef up a section of the competition.

Morgan Benn said he desperately needs beasts for the fat cattle section.

“Due to the season we have had it’s been hard to produce any fat cattle,” the George and Fuhrmann Stock and Station Agent representative said.

“Our biggest struggle is getting enough numbers to run a show.

“

Our biggest struggle is getting enough numbers to run a show …

Morgan Benn “But if anyone has any beef and cattle they would like to showcase or present this is the ideal opportunity to do so.”

The categories include the grass fed/milk fed vealer class ranging from 250kg to 330kg, grain fed classes cater for cattle from 250kg to 420kg and then there are six replacement heifers.

“Those heifers don’t get sold - they are purely for show, same with the cow and calf section,” Mr Benn said.

Anyone with suitable stock can contact Mr Benn on 0427 253 528 or the Stanthorpe Agricultural Society on 07 4681 2107.

The Stanthorpe Show will be held over two days on 30 and 31 January.

Actor takes Aussie stage

Celebrate what’s great for our Oz Day, mate SOUTHERN Downs Regional Council is inviting everyone to enjoy a great Australia Day on 26 January with celebrations and Australia Day awards ceremonies to be held at Warwick and Stanthorpe.

Mayor Peter Blundell said Australia Day was the perfect opportunity to have a family day out and celebrate everything that is great about Australia.

“Celebrations for Stanthorpe will begin at 2pm at Weeroona Park. There will be musical enter-

tainment, a barbecue, flag raising, citizenship ceremony and the Australia Day awards ceremony.

“Celebrations for Warwick will begin at 10am and this year will be held at Glengallan Homestead.

Council is really looking forward to Australia Day celebrations and the awards ceremony at Glengallan where rich Australian history and culture is preserved and honoured.

“Glengallan Homestead will open on Australia Day from 8am with its usual markets and will also

have traditional Aussie fare, games and entertainment.

“We look forward to seeing many people at both celebrations and also paying tribute to our local heroes during the awards ceremonies,” he said.

Cr Blundell said other smaller communities, such as Killarney, Pratten and Allora, are also celebrating Australia Day in their own way and he encouraged residents to participate in these local events.

ACTOR and activist Alex Jones is the Tenterfield Australia Day Ambassador and will be part of a packed day of celebrations.

Born deaf to deaf parents, Alex Jones is an over-achiever.

He studied theatre professionally at New York University and then was recruited by the Australian Theatre of the Deaf in 1997.

As an actor, he has appeared on a number of stage productions, films and television and has provided consulting services to the film/TV industry here in Australia and abroad.

In 2003 Alex co-founded with Tony Abrahams an innovative and social-enterprise company, Ai-Media, to deliver captioning services for broadcasters.

They have also developed a groundbreaking technology called Ai-Live that brings captioning into new environments that was unheard of a few years ago to classrooms, workplaces, conferences and events.

Alex is currently on the board of People with Disability Australia and Deaf Sports Australia. He has also served as an ambassador for the NSW ‘Don’t DIS my ABILITY’ campaign for the International Day of People with Disability in NSW for six years and is one of the NSW Australia Day ambassadors for the last four years.

He is a very proud father to two beautiful boys, one of whom is deaf. It has always been Alex’s passion to see that deaf people are given unlimited opportunities

to live their life to their fullest potential without any barriers.

The celebrations will be held in the Tenterfield Memorial Hall and kick off with the Ministers Fraternal Church Service at 8am followed by light breakfast on the deck of the RSL Pavilion.

The volunteers from 2TenFM will provide the main catering for the breakfast and this year will be serving a menu ranging from pancakes with maple syrup to bacon and egg or sausage sandwiches.

The ladies of the CWA will provide tea and coffee plus a selection of their home cooked, yummy biscuits and cake.

The Civic Welcome and Awards Ceremony begin at 9am.

In recognition of the Centenary of Anzac, the Tenterfield Light Horse Troop (unfortunately without horses) will conduct the flag raising ceremony and the ambassador’s address will be based on this theme.

Entertainment will be provided by the Tenterfield Physical Culture Club, featuring Stacey Hayne, winner of the Young Sportsperson of the Year Award in both 2013 and 2014 for her achievements in physical culture, including winning the title of national champion in her section in Australia 2013. The group will also include Jessica Gibbins, winner of the 2014 Sportsperson of the Year Award.

The ceremony will end around 11am to the strains of the pipes and drums of the Tenterfield Highlanders Pipe Band.

To hear it, is to read it AS a speech pathologist, Alana Deehan is frequently asked by parents what they can do to ensure that their child succeeds at reading once they start at school.

Alana, who works at the Centre for Healthy Living in Warwick, constantly advises that because sounds are the building blocks of reading and spelling, children who are taught to listen closely for sounds in their world and in words are usually better able to acquire reading and spelling skills.

Alana says this set of listening skills is referred to as phonological awareness.

“Good phonological awareness skills allow a child to hear sounds in words,” she said.

“For example, the word ‘cat’ is made up of three sounds c-at. While teaching letters is useful, it is crucial that a child can hear all the individual sounds in a word. The ability to match sounds to letters comes later on.”

She said children needed to be able to then take these sounds and move them around to make new words.

“For example, if you take the ‘c’ off the word ‘cat’ you are left with the word ‘at’,” Alana said.

“It is therefore important for children to be able to identify when words start or end with the same sound. For example, both ‘car’ and ‘cat’ start with a ‘c’ sound. It is why rhyming is so vital. Rhyming is about hearing when words sound the same at the end.

“Therefore, teaching your child how to hear and generate rhyming words, break words into syllables or individual sounds, tell what sound a word starts with and then be able to create another word starting with that sound, are all critical skills for their literacy development.”

It is easy to create games in the car for these activities.

Alana often suggests these activities for parents: Listen and identify everyday sounds, e.g., cars, fans, birds singing.

Decide whether two spoken sounds are the same or different, e.g., ‘t-f’, ‘s-s’ Talk about the first/last/middle sounds in words.

School sets its way with a top report

Play ‘Odd One Out’ games where the child must identify which word does not start/end with the same sound as the others.

Play ‘Memory’ games where the child must identify pairs that start/end with the same sound.

Try to think of other things that begin/end with the same sound as a particular word.

Play ‘I spy something beginning with ... ’ Try to spot as many things in a room/book starting/ending with a particular sound.

Sort pictures according to the sound they start with (which may be different from the letter they start with). Junk mail is a great source of pictures for this activity.

If you think that your child is having difficulties with any of these activities, contact Alana at the Centre for Healthy Living in Warwick for an assessment.

For more information phone 4661 3340 - located at Centre For Healthy Living 14 Freestone Road Warwick.

WARWICK Central State School is celebrating an excellent report for its curriculum, teaching, learning and discipline audit with high and/or outstanding scores in all domains.

“The report is available on our website, along with our annual report on the activities of our school. Central truly rules!” principal Christine Dolley said.

With approximately 40 staff including specialist teachers, teacher aides, administration, ground staff and cleaners Mrs Dolley said Warwick Central State School staff included committed, caring, hard-working professionals who strive to provide the best education possible for the most important members of their community - their students.

“We have 12 open, vibrant, well-resourced classrooms, all with reverse cycle air conditioning, interactive whiteboards, quick, effective internet access, the availability of class sets of laptops and tablet technology and efficient, enthusiastic teacher aides who assist our diligent, energetic teaching staff,” she said.

“We have experienced and dedicated administration staff who are always keen to answer queries and concerns and provide solutions promptly and effectively.

“With 292 students on site, we have an experienced head of curriculum who is a very experienced classroom teacher and has worked as a small school principal, a support teacher and in the very demanding field of distance education.

“This very capable individual Janet Forbes is also the behaviour support teacher and we are very fortunate to have this resource avail-

able on site every day to support our very successful Central RULES (Respect, Understanding, Learning, Effort, Safety) school-wide Positive Behaviour Program.

“We are a tier two school in this program, recognition for the embedded nature of Central rules in everything we do at our school.”

Warwick Central State School was established in 1875, and will celebrate its 140th birthday in 2015.

It provides a comprehensive, balanced education for students from prep to year six.

It also runs a playgroup each Monday afternoon in its beautiful new air-conditioned library and its very well-regarded PIPPAs (Parents in Pre Prep at School) program in semester two of every year.

“We believe that “it takes a village to raise a child” and, as such, we strive to involve our local community and related services in all that we do,” Mrs Dolley said.

“Each Monday, after assembly, when progress and success are celebrated and recognised, we have a Principal’s Prattle session for parents, carers and community members which includes morning tea and information sharing about academic programs, support plans, new initiatives, and Education Queensland updates and developments.”

Everyone is welcome at Warwick Central State School.

Impaired vision hinders learning DID you know that the majority of classroom learning comes through the visual system?

In fact, according to Tom Roger, behavioural optometrist at Eyecare Eyewear, more than 65 per cent of the brain’s neural pathways are designated to the visual system.

As a result, even slight reductions in sight and visual skills

can dramatically affect a child’s ability to learn. Why is this so?

Because it takes a lot more energy to use a faulty visual system compared to an efficient one.

“The analogy that I often use with patients is that of a car with an engine problem,” Tom said.

“While you might be able to drive it, there is a risk that that the engine may overheat, leak oil

and use excessive fuel.

“Unfortunately, it is not always possible to diagnose a defective visual system from standard assessments of sight.

“I often see patients with whom I record normal levels of visual acuity (6/6 or 20/20 vision) with debilitating reductions in visual efficiency.

“This is why careful questions relating to classroom and afterschool behaviour are required to assist in the diagnosis of a problem with visual efficiency.”

He said common behaviours and symptoms that might indicate problems include: Irritability and tiredness after school, headaches, sore red eyes, close working distances (holds the

book close to nose) and avoidance of reading.

“So just like cars get regular services, I also recommended regular eye tests for children,” he said. “Prevention is always better than cure, and timely optometric intervention can significantly improve academic outcomes for one in four children with vision problems.”

Don’t forget your child’s eye tests as they head back to school.

THE tractors and cars have been polished and the British motorbikes are on their way, yes preparations are well underway for this year’s Allora Heritage Weekend.

Cars, tractors, stationary engines and horse drawn machinery - it will all be on display at the Allora Showgrounds, New England Highway, Allora, this Saturday and Sunday.

Admission is only $5 and there will be lots of foot and fun for the whole family according to organiser Graeme McMullen.

“This year’s main features will be Ford cars, Fordson cars, tractors and trucks, Lister stationary engines and British motorcycles,” Graeme said.

First mooted back in 1995 and held for the first time the following year, the event now attracts 4000 to 5000 visitors and exhibitors from all over Australia who are keen to show off their pride and joy.

Graeme said he doesn’t know what makes the event so special for visitors and exhibitors but maybe it’s that it’s the first one of the year and people are keen to get and check out the vehicles of a bygone era.

The event includes a swap meet on both days as well as working displays all weekend, a bar and barbecue and plenty of other food on-site.

There will be a cent sale with all proceeds going to the Warwick Disability Support Group.

By TANIA PHILLIPS WHILE most of her friends were enjoying their holidays on the Southern Downs, nine-year-old dancer/singer/actress Faithe Repo has been on quite an adventure.

A student at The Ritz Performing Arts Centre in Stanthorpe, Faithe has just returned from an ARTS event in Florida, USA, where she performed before some of the top theatrical television, film and commercial agents.

Rhonda Binnie of Ritz said Faithe had been approached by several of the top agents for representation and will continue to work with them to audition for places within the performing arts industry.

“She has been dancing for four years but moved to Stanthorpe at the beginning of 2014 and started training with us then,” Rhonda said.

“She and her family were in the States for three weeks but spent a full week at the arts event. One of my Brisbane students did this event in 2013 and has had non-stop work in movies, TV and commercials ever since.

“This time Faithe was the first of our Stanthorpe students to go and she went with two of our Brisbane dancers.”

Faithe will also continue her training at The Ritz and will be part of the centre’s open day event on Thursday 22 January from 3pm to 5pm.

Letters Figures fudged IS PM Tony going to follow in John Howard’s footsteps and fudge the unemployment figures?

Four hours work per week isn’t full-time employment.

Tony is sacking public servants who are fulltime employees. Full-time employees are the ones who buy houses and other big ticket items as they have a regular income.

Casual workers cannot afford such things and don’t know when they might be working next.

Full-time employees are the ones who have money to spend to keep the economy going, employing other people in the nation.

John Howard wore out his welcome with core and non-core promises. Tony, don’t go down the same road, but it might be too late to ask you that.

You said you would create jobs for one million people; did you really mean that? It’s what the economy needs, especially for the school leavers who have finished their education at the end of 2014.

Jay Nauss, Glen Aplin.

Lies and errors SOLZHENITSYN said; only lies and error need force to uphold them otherwise they will collapse. It is not so with truth, truth stands alone and unafraid.

Forcing us to vote, amalgamate, fluoridation, compulsory vaccination with poisons, all these and other evils and lies shows the weakness of their arguments as they refuse to examine evidences that expose their corrupt practices. All these policies are conditioning society to accept the last deception when they force us to attend church on Sundays as some countries are already doing overseas.

Charles Gaitskell, Stanthorpe.

Same old story ANNASTACIA and Campbell have hit the campaign trail within hours of Campbell announcing the date of the election. Campbell says he will home in on a couple of main policies and Annastacia is repentant; claiming the ALP has learned its lesson from the ‘terrible’ days of the Bligh regime. Haven’t we heard it all before?

The ALP/LNP sets the agenda on which the election will be fought. Their crafty ways are nothing new. They have done the market research, and gotten into the minds of Queenslanders, and think they have the game sewn up.

The people don’t get many chances to cast a vote - only once every three years. This time round Queenslanders should give both the ALP and LNP a miss and find someone else to vote for. Neither Annastacia nor Campbell is going to deliver the goods on what really needs to be done in Queensland to make it a more liveable state.

Jay Nauss, Glen Aplin.

Scots PGC College’s Kristina Somerset (Aspley), Hadley Dearden (Swan Creek), Cassandra Burtenshaw (Allora), Rylie Douglas (Warwick), Jasmine Whitton (Hughendon), Joseph McCormack (Killarney), Joe Fulwood (Thallon), Amelia Cowley (Allora) celebrate their OP scores.

The achievers YEAR 12 students at SCOTS PGC College celebrated their OP scores last month with Rylie Douglas and Cassandra Burtenshaw both receiving a 2.

Amelia Cowley and Joseph McCormack were not far behind, receiving 3s, while Jasmine Whitten received a 4.

Ms Whitten thanked her “amazing“ teachers for their help over the past two years.

“Today I received an OP 4 meaning that I will also be able to accept a $6000 scholarship for next year at UNE which required higher than an ATAR 86,“ she wrote in an email.

“This is a better result than I ever expected!“ The nervous wait to secure entry into university came to an end for some Southern Downs students last week, with first round offers announced.

High flyer for Australia Day

By ALENA HIGGINS WARWICK and Stanthorpe’s Australia Day ambassador for 2015 is Major James Campbell (Ret), the foundation member, CEO and chief pilot of the first community search, rescue and medical evacuation helicopter service in Queensland.

Major Campbell holds commercial licences on helicopters, fixed wing aircraft and gliders and has 11,100 flying hours on helicopters and 800 hours on fixed wing aircraft. He also has a helicopter instructor rating and instrument and night flying ratings on both helicopters and fixed wing.

Signing up for the Australian Army at 15, Jim’s 25-year career as a helicopter pilot and flight instructor included a host of domestic and overseas missions.

Until he retired in 2005, the rescue service grew to a community-owned service with three fully equipped aircraft at two bases, Sunshine Coast Air-

port and Bundaberg Airport, providing invaluable Medivac and emergency services to the country communities as well as the coastal regions of South East Queensland.

After 50 years of service to the people of Australia, Major Campbell continues to be a company member for Sunshine Coast Helicopter Rescue Service, volunteers for Legacy, and has been a guest speaker at Anzac Day and Australia Day ceremonies throughout Queensland.

The decorated military man said he was looking forward to spending the national day in the Southern Downs.

“Australia Day is a great day to remind ourselves that we as a nation have to stick together for a better country and better world,” he said.

“It’s also is a time to acknowledge the people who selfishly volunteer their time to the community.”

In 2005 Major Campbell walked the Kokoda Track at the

age of 67 and at the age of 73 with a group of adventurers he went to Ukraine and purchased a former Russian Army motor bike with side car and rode through Eastern Europe before returning to Australia with the bike.

He still has interests in aviation, business and the Australian Army.

Sergeant Dimitrios ‘Jim’ Bellos, a cross-cultural liaison officer for the Queensland Police Service, is the Australia Day ambassador for Goondiwindi, while owner of Ballandean Estate Wines Angelo Puglisi will be ambassador at the Texas Australia Day ceremony.

Alex Jones, a deaf actor and Don’t DIS my ABILITY advocate, will serve as Tenterfield’s Australia Day ambassador.

Warwick’s Australia Day ceremony will kick off on Monday at 9am at Glengallan Homestead.

Stanthorpe’s will take place at 2pm at Weeroona Park.

A ton of courage

BY Tania Phillips RODEO season is under way for another year with NRA points already up for grabs.

Many of the Warwick cowboys took advantage of the two closest coastal events held just after New Year - Kingscliff and Byron Bay. Photographer Tania Phillips was on-hand to capture all the spills and thrills at Kingscliff. The next major

event is at Oakey on 7 February with the Gympie Bull and Bronc on 14 February.

But don’t worry there will be plenty of rodeo action on the Southern Downs throughout the year and the Southern Free Times will be out and about to capture all the action.

If you have a major horse event this - give us a call so we can put it on our calendar.

Checking the shoots. It's going to be a busy year for the cowboys.

RODEO season has started with many of the Warwick cowboys swapping the Country for Coast and heading down to the annual Kingscliff Rodeo including Micky Loy, Lane Grayson, Kyogle's Gabe Wood and Callum Miller.

Hats off to Federer The

spin

Soaking in the atmosphere of the Gabba test breakfast are Kevin, left, and Paul Bourke of Maryvale.

With Casey O’Connor email: wickets-stpe@bigpond.com

IF the recent temperature spike has not been enough to convince you that it is summer then the constant thwack, thwack, thwack should be ... and I am not referring to slapping the increasing mozzie population.

It is, of course, tennis time and as we power through the first week of the Australian Open we have already been treated to an outstanding entree in the form of the Brisbane International and several other pre-Aussie Open tournaments around the country.

I am sure we all willed everyone’s favourite Roger Federer to his 1000th career win in the Brisbane International.

Organisers may have had sweaty palms for a few games when things did not look as if they were going to plan but they really had nothing to worry about as the tennis gods had ordained that Roger’s career milestone would happen in Brisbane and the special presentation they had planned for him post game was never in doubt.

What an outstanding sportsman Federer is.

While he continues to build on his remarkable career it is undoubtedly his humble attitude as much as his outstanding talent that draws fans to him like bees to a honey jar or Aussie flies to a barbecue.

While we all love Raffa - especially the ladies - and we enjoy the quirky humour and personality of Novak Djokovic it is Federer who is king among not only fans but also his peers. At the end of the 2014 season, Federer was selected by his fellow players as the winner of the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award for a record 10th time.

He was also selected by fans as the ATPWorldTour.com Fans’ Favourite (no great surprise there) for a 12th straight year. I can think of no other sport that can boast such an amazing ambassador, and when he does decide to hang up the racquet I am sure he will be acknowledged as the greatest player ever to grace the court.

Perhaps the introduction of a Sportsmanship Award in cricket might help raise the bar when it comes to on-field behaviour. Sportsmen and women in not only tennis but all other codes would do well to aspire to some of the standards Federer obviously lives and plays by.

Go the Fed - Let’s see 1001 in Melbourne.

Thwack, thwack, thwack.

- Casey “BALL KID” WITH LOCAL CONNECTION SEAMUS Wakefield may have been born and raised in Brisbane but the centre of Ballandean is very near to his heart. Wakefield is the grandson of Peter and Heather Watters and has been a regular visitor to the Granite Belt. Ater finishing Year 12 he is currently back in the district working for Orchard Services. While he is enjoying the break, it is a far cry from centre court at the Brisbane Tennis International where he recently spent eight days as a “Ball Kid”.

The young tennis enthusiast, who is a regular on the courts at Redland Bay, nominated in March last year to “try out” for a stint as a Ball Kid. He was accepted and over the course of the next nine months under took several training sessions to prepare for the big event - and it was big.

During the training sessions there was a focus on skill development and the technical aspects of what is a most important part of the game.

Not prone to name dropping, young Seamus shared some of his special moments with me last Monday night when he attended a meeting of the Stanthorpe Rotary Club. After some prompting he eventually came clean and told how he was selected as a ball boy for Roger Federer’s first game of the tournament.

As you can imagine it was a great thrill to be up close and on court with the great man.

However, when pressed, Seamus declared his tournament favourite was undoubtedly Ana Ivanovic. He was fortunate to be on court for most

Ball Kid - Brian Wakefield shares his recent Ball kid experiences with his grandfather Peter Watters. of Ivanovic’s games throughout the tournament and was selected to do the women’s singles and doubles semi-final and finals.

While Federer and Sharapova may have taken home the Brisbane International silverware Seamus Wakefield was thrilled to be named “Rookie Ball Kid” of the tournament and collected, what he says will be a much treasured certificate, just a couple of hours before play got underway in the men’s final.

Wakefield admits the experience was a great buzz but is now looking forward to studying aviation at university and pursuing a career as a pilot perhaps with one or two more “Ball Kid” experiences along the way.

FINALISTS DECIDED AFTER some exciting games last weekend, the finalists in the Summit Club Fours 2015 have been decided. The two teams skipped by Wayne Thomas and Len Covill will play for the title on 8 February so there is plenty of time for both teams to tweak their play.

The rounds of the fours competition last weekend attracted 28 players who had to deal with the extraordinarily hot conditions combined with intermittent gusts of wind for much of the 18 ends.

A forfeit in game one gave the team of Brian Wilmot, Jamie Zamprogno, Quentin Stanley and Wayne Thomas an easy passage through to the next round.

In game two, the foursome took on McGlashan, Kurt Empen, Keith Mungall and E. Zamprogno. In a tight game, team Thomas prevailed with the scores 17-15.

In the third game, Attillio Zamprogno. Rob Newlands. Michael Sweeney and Rod Capelli outgunned their opponents 25-11.

In the first semi-final, Michael Surch, Paul Zamprogno, Alex Mattiazzi and Len Covill defeated White, Spiller Hartley and Stanley 15-12 to move through to the final.

In the other semi-final, the team of Brian Wilmot, Jamie Zamprogno, Quinton Stanley and Wayne Thomas had a comfortable 24-8 win to book their place in the final.

The greens were played beautifully last weekend and were a credit to the dedicated team of Zel, Phil and Ray. While the focus for some is sure to be the final of the club fours there is a ladies day today Thursday (22 January), social bowls on Saturday 24 before 8 February. A date to mark in the diary for all bowlers is the Summit open triples carnival on Sunday 22 February.

GOLFERS COME OUT TO PLAY LAST Friday, 37 golfers took to the course in the very warm conditions for the Red Rooster Rumble.

The conditions had little effect on eventual winner Adam Byrne, who finished with 24 points - and following that effort has reduced his handicap by five shots.

Filling the runners-up position was Jimmy Olsen (22 points). Rundowns went to 19. Cooked chooks went home with Adam Byrne (5), Doug Wilson (7) and John Devitt at the ninth.

The heat continued unabated throughout the

weekend but had no effect on player numbers.

On Saturday, another good field took to the fairways and greens in the single stableford playing for a trophy supplied by the club. Donald Warrener scored 41 to take out the event. Not long ago Warrener was playing on seven and his form of late indicates he is on his way back to that mark.

The gentleman of the fairway, John Devitt took the runners-up spot with a handy score of 38.

In the run down it was Trent Watts (37), Bob Lester, Evan Pfeffer, Mark Thomas and Jay Roberts (36), Nathan Jones and Eddie Kemp (35).

The pins went to, Neil Carney, Nathan Jones, Mark Thomas, Geoff Hinze, Graham Clark and Don Warrener.

In the Sunday stableford, the 18-hole event was won by Danielle Seibel who had no problem dealing with the 35-degree heat as she carded 41 points.

Don Warrener continued his sparkling form and his score of 20 points gave him a win in the nine-hole competition. Both of the pins were skinners. The nine and 18-hole competitions are proving popular and the club will continue to run the tandem competitions providing something for everyone on a Sunday.

Another busy weekend of golf this weekend.

The single stableford on Saturday will be sponsored by B and K Motors and there are only limited spots available in the two-ball ambrose on Australia Day. If you want to join the fun on Australia Day call the pro shop immediately on 07 4661 3664.

GEARING UP FOR AUSTRALIA DAY CRICKET CARNIVAL THE Warwick Cricket Association is gearing up for an influx of visiting cricketers and local players for the annual Australia Day weekend carnival.

Organisers are expecting 30 teams to participate this year with games played on 10 grounds around the district. In all there will 76 games played.

The eight teams with the best winning margin will play on Sunday to decide the grand finalists.

The final game is scheduled for a 1pm start on Australia Day. Winners of the 2014 competition, Hulk’s XI, have firmed in favoritism to take out back to back titles.

Hulk’s XI are expected to field a similar team to their all-conquering 2014 team with perhaps only one change. Adding to the excitement of the final day, radio station 89.3fm will be on hand to broadcast live all the action from 9am at Slade Oval.

In total $2000 in prize-money and prizes are up for grabs. The ever-popular longest throw competition is well entrenched in the program and should get underway around 4.30pm prior to the official presentations. There is a $5 entry fee and the competition is open to all comers.

FOUNDATION CUP WIN FOR FRASER GREG Fraser returned an outstanding two-round score of 129 to secure a win in the 2015 Foundation Cup and his name has now been added to the

long and illustrious list of previous winners. Fraser’s was the first of two notable scores returned last Saturday at the Stanthorpe Golf Club. David Burgess secured his first club event with a score of nett 60 to grab the honours on Saturday. Congratulations to both players for some exceptional golf - both managed to lower their handicaps as a result.

In the ladies’ event, it was another win to Lyn Ludlow returning nett 70 while Linda Kelly took out the runners-up spot with a score of 74. Kelly also held the ladies' pin at 3/12. Hannah Reeves is never far from the action and had the best approach at 17 and also collected a rundown with nett 75 in the ladies’ competition.

Fred Wharton may have been outgunned for the winning spot on Saturday but not only did he claim the runners-up spot but also held second place in the men’s comp, the pro-pin at 1/10 and a share of the birdies nest with Rob Reeves. Mark McCosker took the pin at 3/12 while the 5/14 and 9/18 pro pins had Dylan Barraclough’s name all over them.

This weekend, Repco Stanthorpe will sponsor a two-ball ambrose with a shotgun start tee off at 11.45am. Registration for the event will close at 11.30am and there is a timesheet on the board at the club.

TRAPPERS HUNTERS HIT THEIR TARGETS IT was a day for the trappers and hunters as the Inglewood Trading Post opened last Sunday at the Inglewood SSAA range after a long break.

The trappers and hunters had to return and cash in the meat and hides they had collected.

Best price was received by Dan McCosker of Yetman. He was closely followed by Swedish visitor Glen Holmes. Holmes is also known to frequent the Yetman area. Ray Dudgeon did his best to keep Inglewood in the winner’s circle with a third placing.

Eighteen targets in all were hunted with varying cash values when presented at the “Wheredehellarewe Trading Post".

After all the hunting shenanigans the action will be back to pistols this Sunday.

Dan McCosker - master hunter HAMMY HAMS IT UP STEVEN “Hammy” Hampstead was in fine touch on Saturday winning the stroke event with a 64 nett (two under off the stick).

Hampstead, explained his new hairstyle saying: “These dreadlocks are helping me keep my head down."

Kevin Williams and Taffy Edwards tied for second with an impressive 68 nett and also shared the pin shots. Williams was successful at 3/15 and Edwards at nine. The Wallangarra club welcomes back Marie Cook and Scott Williams.

This Saturday, a single stableford event has been scheduled.

Several Wallangarra members are planning to play in the Warwick club’s Australia Day two-ball ambrose competition. Anyone who is interested in playing and needs a partner can make arrangements on Saturday.

Local Sport STEELED FOR A WIN NORM Steele had a good win at Sporters last Sunday with Ray Thorn filling the runners-up position. Run downs went to Aaron Simmers and Ian Anderson who also collected the pro pin. Dylan Barraclough returned the best gross. Hannah Reeves took the pin shots on both the 12th and 17th. Ian Anderson took the pro pin. Seen leaving sporting a meat tray each were Jim Mitchell and Mark Lynam. Sporters will be teeing off this Sunday at the normal time, 7.30am-8.30am.

WEBB ELLIS ON TOUR WITH much talk about the upcoming Cricket World Cup there was a reminder this week as the Webb Ellis Cup lit up the streets of Rome, Milan and Treviso that there are less than 250 days until the another world cup event - the Rugby World Cup. The William Webb Ellis trophy - “Bill”, the holy grail of rugby - was completing the Italian leg of the Rugby World Cup Trophy tour. The Italians welcomed the famous trophy with open arms as the world’s best rugby players prepare to descend on England and Cardiff later this year.

Italian rugby legend Andrea Lo Cicero accompanied “Bill” during the Italian leg. Lo Cicero, who is an ambassador for one of the event sponsors Land Rover, said: “It has been a wonderful experience to take the Webb Ellis Cup somewhere it has never been before and extremely rewarding to meet passionate young rugby fans in the Treviso area. Excitement is already building for Rugby World Cup 2015 in Italy and Land Rover bringing the trophy here has stirred an even greater passion in this huge year for the game.”

The trophy tour which will visit 15 countries over 12 months as part of a celebration of rugby in the lead-up to Rugby World Cup now heads to Germany and Romania.

ONE OR TWO CENTURIES AS A cricketer, what is better than one century?

Two of course and you would get no argument this week from Souths captain Ben Staley. Staley had never posted a ton in his cricket career - that was until last weekend and in the space of 24 hours he had two centuries to his name and his side had amped up their efforts to force their way into contention for this season’s finals.

On Friday evening Souths took on Valleys in a catch-up game played under lights.

The game was entertaining and at times there was plenty of verbal.

After winning the toss the Valleys captain

elected to bat, and while some of his team-mates questioned the decision at the time his call turned out to be on the money.

At 2/16 Valleys were looking vulnerable but a 78-run partnership between Alistair Middleton and Alex Bell took the score to 2/94 off only 13 overs. Valleys built on that score with Damian Anderson and Michael Thompson contributing to vital partnerships.

Josh Anderson joined Middleton in the centre in the 25th over and fireworks followed as Anderson blazed his way to a quick-fire 50, which included four sixes and several boundaries.

Middleton continued to build his innings remaining not out as Valleys set Souths a 235-run chase.

Danny Folkers was a welcome inclusion to the Souths’ attack taking 2/54 in his return game.

Caleb Hutchins continued his good form with the ball finishing with 3/39. Also among the wickets was Alex Cameron who bowled well taking 2/11.

That 235 looked to be a good score, but Souths captain Ben Staley was keen to make a match of it as he claimed his maiden century in a fine batting display.

His innings was highlighted by some outstanding running between the wickets and some well placed shots which seemed able to find the gaps in the field.

While Staley was in superb form, at the other end batsmen came and went in quick succession.

As Staley powered towards his maiden ton the only thing that looked likely to stop him was a lack of partners as only Tom Cameron and Jordan Lanza made it to double figures but ducks were plentiful.

In all, five Souths players were dismissed without troubling the scorer as they collapsed to be all out for 166 - 69 runs short of the target.

It was a fine display of pressure bowling from the Valleys’ attack. Curtis Allen finished with 1/30, Sandro Stefanon 2/37, Damian Anderson 1/9, Ryan Matthews 2/27, Josh Anderson 1/17 and Spencer Jenson 1/16.

The two teams backed up on Saturday in their regular fixture game and the complexion of the game could not have been more different to Friday night - however the one constant was the performance of Ben Staley.

Souths won what looked to be a good toss and elected to bat. The extremely hot conditions

had little effect on the Souths' openers as Staley and Mark Lanza combined for an 87-run opening stand. Unlike Friday night, Staley found plenty of batting partners.

Sam Culham (19), Tom Cameron (16) and Jordan Lanza (19) all added much needed partnerships with Staley as Souths continued to build on their score with some outstanding running between the wickets.

In contrast to their previous innings, Souths finished with 4/241. Staley top scored with an unbeaten 132. His knock included 15 fours and again his work between the wickets was a highlight.

The Valleys bowlers toiled hard for little joy, Hayden Smith taking 1/31, Sandro Stefanon 0/24 Ryan Matthew 1/37.

Valleys could not find their Friday night form and Curtis Allen (22), Hayden Smith (15), Damian Anderson (16) and Anthony Marino (15) were the only batsmen to trouble the scorers as Valleys collapsed to be all out in the 26th over for 125 runs.

Jordan Lanza had a mixed day with the ball.

He claimed three scalps for 31 runs but would not have been pleased with the number of wides he conceded. Alex Cameron 1/22, Toby Culham 2/18, Hayden Taylor 2/18, and Sam Culham claimed 1/1 - all bowled with accuracy and success.

The win was a vital one for Souths and with the additional bonus point they now move to 20 points and into third place on the leader board behind RSL (48) and Valleys (24). Wanderers have slipped to the bottom of the table on 18 points.

Win for RSL despite Petrie ton RSL returned to winning form last weekend following an upset loss at the previous outing.

RSL holds a comfortable lead in the premiership race but there were no signs of complacency in the performance against Wanderers last Saturday on the C.F. White turf.

Wanderers’ latest recruit Damian Petrie showed that football is not the only string to his bow as he raced to a century in his opening game for the club.

Wanderers set RSL a target of 183. With only sketchy details of the game available it is understood that Wanderers were possibly their own worst enemies dropping both Dowie boys on a couple of occasions which proved costly as RSL posted the winning runs with six overs to spare.

FOCUS TURNS TO SUPER 8s THIS WEEKEND THE focus moves from fixture cricket in Stanthorpe this weekend to the very social but for some teams very competitive Super 8s Australia Day competition.

The games will be played on Saturday at Sheehan and C.F. White Ovals and hopefully you have nominated your team as nominations closed on Wednesday.

Games begin at noon on Saturday with a bar and barbecue running throughout the day and evening. There are sure to be plenty of entertaining games throughout the course of the day with men's, women’s and combined ladies and men’s teams keen to share in the spoils.
