Memorabilia from the demolished shelter sheds at Swanfels’ Pioneer Park east of Warwick has been placed in safe storage, the Southern Downs Regional Council says.

The historic shelters were demolished on Friday 20 January, just two days after the council announced in a

statement they were “devastated” by termite damage and were structurally “unsound”.

Equally devastated are Swanfels and surrounding residents, who are furious at the lack of notice the council gave about the demolition - and a lack of community consultation.

The timber and iron-roofed sheds, both more than a century old, had for-

Show events galore Arts Scene with Sue Keong The 150th Warwick Show has an exciting program of events planned for 2017.

The Kevin Thumpkin Shed will be the centre for community activities and displays including Contrasts Art Show and Wearable Art Parade.

Vicki Buttrose, steward for Contrasts Art Show said for the Warwick Show’s 150th they have added a wearable art competition with stunning art gala outfits with fantastic - re-purposed or recycled materials - knockout fashion to wear.

“Join us for the Wearable Art Parade on Friday 24 March at 5pm in the Kevin Thumpkin Shed - winners for both the art and fashion will be announced during the night,” she said.

“A retrospective of Wearable Art by Lyn Gordon, Royal Brisbane Show Grand Champion for 2016 will be a feature of the evening.

“Lyn will be joined by two local designers Helen Newton and Robyn Esdaile.”

Perpetual sunflowers Warwick Artists have resolved the issue of sunflowers not being in flower all year round by planting their own crop of everlasting blooms at their Art Studio on Willi Street.

Rose took time out from her painting to wander among the sunflowers.

“They are beautiful and really brighten up the studio,” she said.

SES is recruiting At the start of each year the Warwick State Emergency Service (SES) recruits new members.

This year, two nights will be held for potential recruits to find out about joining the Warwick Unit.

Warwick SES will be recruiting members who are reasonably fit and healthy, and willing and able to perform operational tasks.

There will be no recruitment for Headquarters-based staff such as those wishing to do paperwork, stores, catering etc.

SES members are unpaid volunteers from all walks of life who take the opportunity to give to the community, while gaining skills that will benefit them in their day-to-day activities. Membership is open to anyone aged 18 or over who meets the requirements of the Unit. Junior members may be accepted from the age of 16. Junior members will receive basic training and be able to participate in some low risk activities. The Warwick Unit currently have members from all age groups, and have about equal numbers of men and women.

The Unit trains every Tuesday night. New recruits need to commit to training each Tuesday night for a few months to do their basic training. Further training in specialised fields may be offered when available once the basic training is completed.

If you are keen to join the ranks of the SES and assist the community in times of need, come along to SES Headquarters in the Town Hall Car Park at 7pm on either 7 February or 14 February.

Three LNP candidates line up for retiring MP’s seat

Demolition gets dirty From front page “Memorabilia from the shelters, including the branding post, old school signs and old tennis signs, has been retained and is currently in council storage, where it will remain until such time as funding has been identified for (a) new shelter.

“It will be reinstated in the new shelter when it is constructed.”

No timeframe has been put around construction of a new shelter, with council saying funding will be considered “in a future budget”.

The council spokeswoman said Stanthorpe firm Rob Wilkinson Building was engaged to undertake the demolition works but council would not disclose the specific costs of the demolition or the consultant engineer’s report which deemed the shelters unsound.

“The costs of the work were recovered from within the budget,” she said.

“Costs are generally not provided as they can be considered ‘commercial-in-confidence’.

“Based on a report from a structural consulting engineer, council’s Director of Engineering Services authorised the demolition after advising the council.

“The value of the work was below the tender threshold of $200,000.”

vote in a mail ballot for their preferred candidate.

But it is also understood the LNP state executive can overrule the local party ballot and pick their own preferred candidate.

Cr Gow was reprimanded for inappropriate conduct in December last year after a formal complaint was made to Mayor Tracy Dobie, it has been revealed.

The complaint was received on 25 November 2016 with council documents stating the nature of the complaint was “conduct that is not appropriate for a representative of a local government, but is not misconduct”.

The record shows the complaint was assessed as “inappropriate conduct” on 7 December 2016 and two or-

ders were made under the Local Government Act. The first order was a reprimand issued to Cr Gow and the second order was a warning that “a repeat of the inappropriate conduct will be considered as misconduct and referred to the Regional Conduct Review Panel”.

The Free Times asked if the council would release specific details of the complaint, reprimand and warning but the council declined.

Meanwhile former Southern Downs deputy mayor Ross Bartley has again batted away rumours that he is planning to stand for One Nation at the next state election.

The Free Times contacted Mr Bartley this week about the persistent speculation over his possible return to

politics, but he again laughed off the suggestion, saying he had not been approached by One Nation and was continuing to enjoy a return to farming life after his years on the Warwick and Southern Downs councils.

One Nation national media spokesman Sean Bell said it was his understanding that the party had not yet endorsed a candidate for Southern Downs, but the party’s state office was unable to be reached for further comment.

Four LNP state members have now defected to One Nation, including its new state leader Steve Dickson, while three One Nation candidates for seats around the state chosen shortly before Christmas have now been dumped after social media comments which were seen by the party as inappropriate.

Locals react: Swanfels residents past and present are livid after the demolition of the historic Pioneer Park shelters.

The demolition crew rolled onto the site on Swanfels Road on Friday 20 January and by morning smoko time the 113-year-old shelter sheds were literally a thing of the past.

All that remains in council-managed Pioneer Park is a rainwater tank which was attached to the shelter shed, a concrete storage bunker and some play equipment.

The loss of the shelter sheds is a double blow to the country community east of Warwick, with the annual Swanfels State School reunion - which is always held in the park - just a couple of weeks away.

Milton Rippingale summed up the mood of the community, describing council’s lack of consultation as “ignorant and arrogant”.

“There was hardly any warning - they have just shown no respect at all to the community here, particularly the older residents,” he told the Free Times.

“The buildings had been there for a long time and hadn’t fallen down.

“We would have got together as a community and tried our best to save them.”

Yangan’s Jenn Greene-Galloway said she was bitterly disappointed she hadn’t had enough notice to be able to “go down and there chain myself to those sheds”.

Former Swanfels school pupil Ruby Johnson said the park and the shelter sheds had been well used over the years.

“There’s been a lot of events held here every year - wedding parties and anniversaries and Christmas parties,” she said.

“The park has been very popular and very well utilised.”

Ruby said those attending the Swanfels school reunion would bring tents and gazebos to the event to provide shade.

The annual Swanfels State School Reunion will be held at Pioneer Park on Swanfels Road (near Ansteys Road) from 9am on Saturday 11 February. No RSVP required, BYO picnic lunch and drinks and

The LNP has officially confirmed it has three nominations for pre-selection for the state seat of Southern Downs following the announcement late last year by veteran MP Lawrence Springborg that he will retire from state politics at the next election.

Southern Downs Deputy Mayor Jo McNally and her colleague Councillor Cameron Gow have both put their hands up as has Stanthorpe LNP member James Lister, according to a statement released by the LNP on Tuesday.

Missing from the list after having been understood to have nominated are Goondiwindi councillor Rob Mackenzie and Warwick’s Glen Morris.

The Free Times contacted both Cr

Mackenzie and Mr Morris for comment this week but no responses were received by time of printing.

It is understood nomination to be an LNP candidate involves a non-refundable fee of up to $2000.

If either Cr McNally or Cr Gow are successful in securing the LNP nomination a council by-election would be triggered.

The next Queensland election is due in January 2018 but is tipped to be called early by ALP Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, possibly in the second half of this year if not earlier.

It is understood local LNP members will hold a “meet and greet” with the pre-selection nominees at the Stanthorpe RSL on Saturday 11 February after which the party members will

In a toxic workplace

In brief Council cuts cars Southern Downs councillors at the January meeting in Stanthorpe voted to reduce the total number of council vehicles by no more than 15, as a result of a ‘Light Vehicle Fleet Review’.

As well as voting to reduce the council fleet, changes to council vehicle usage also include scrapping staff use of vehicles for “commuter use” and booking for use on rostered days off (RDOs).

The resolution will also bring in “enforcement” of the correct use of the “pool booking system”, management and “tracking” of vehicles to be devolved to “area managers” and continued installation of GPS devices into council vehicles.

By Jeremy Sollars Allegations of a toxic workplace culture within local government workforces are not confined to the Southern Downs Regional Council, as documents tabled in State Parliament late last year reveal.

As reported in the Free Times on 19 January, a range of council employees, along with some of their family members, have accused Southern Downs Regional Council management of bullying and intimidating staff to such an extent that some have contemplated suicide.

But equally disturbing instances have also occurred in other Queensland councils - including the Cairns, Tablelands, Fraser Coast and Gympie Regional Councils - and in some tragic cases staff have ended up taking their own lives as a result.

In November 2016 the independent state member for Cairns Rob Pyne spoke in State Parliament in favour of proposed Palaszczuk Government amendments to Queensland’s industrial relations laws designed to address workplace bullying within local government by creating a specific “bullying jurisdiction” to address complaints against council managers.

In 2015 Mr Pyne called for an inquiry into local government in Queensland, saying “bullying, nepotism and toxic working environments are common”.

“For more than a year I have been tabling examples of these matters and it is most disappointing that it has taken this long to legislate for change,” Mr Pyne told Parliament last November.

“I can reliably inform this House that Queensland councils are in many cases toxic workplaces that have damaged, and will continue to damage, people.

“Suicide and attempted suicide resulting from systemic bullying are usually not brought to the public’s attention.

“As a result, those cases any of us know of personally are surely just the proverbial tip of the iceberg.

“In relation to the Tablelands Regional Council, there were three suicides in just eight months.

“This sad reality was noticed by the deputy CEO who said ‘we are getting used to this now’.

“What a sad commentary that is.

“Even closer to home in my electorate the Cairns Regional Council has proved to be a toxic workplace.

“Just prior to Christmas a senior staff member attempted suicide following bullying, harassment and dismissal, despite an unblemished employment record spanning 30 years.

“In September this year an employee of Cairns Regional Council - a beautiful young woman - committed suicide following prolonged bullying at work.

“This is not easy for me to speak about in detail in this place at this time.

Council ticks off $10 million worth

Cairns MP Rob Pyne has called for a state inquiry into local government morale.

“My office regularly supports local government staff who are at their wits’ end.

“We hear it time and time again that bullying is systemic, akin to torture and emotional death by a thousand cuts.

“This silent killer destroys good people. It eats away at them daily, their families and relationships.”

Mr Pyne told Parliament that “without access to a bullying jurisdiction, councils in Queensland have become a place of institutional emotional abuse”.

“Council staff front up at work every day to be emotionally bullied by their superiors, managers, HR departments, CEOs and mayors who allow or encourage this or at the very least are bystanders,” Mr Pyne said.

Chung Hing

“This is not some video game where you hit refresh and start again the next day.

“These sorts of things that happen should be rare, not routine.

“There are too many children in Queensland who have no mother or father tucking them into bed at night because they were employees of a council or they were councillors.

“When council staff say ‘game over’ they leave the workplace so damaged they are unemployable for an average of two years due to the mental health burden of betrayal and systemic abuse.

“In some communities, mental health service providers are snowed under with local government caseloads.

“It is great that people are seeking support.

“However, it still disgusts me that they have to.”

Complaint processes “broken” Mr Pyne tabled documents in Parliament relating to his statements, including a letter from a social support provider in the Tablelands council region who said “staff who dare to make complaints are ‘dealt with’.

“This is done systematically and deliberately through bullying and intimidation or using HR tools including ‘Mercer’ to move whistle-blowers down the pay scale and performance manage them out of their job for no reason.”

The provider has called for an inquest into the death by suicide of three staff at Tablelands Regional Council, likening them to suicides of former res-

idents of the Barrett Adolescent Centre in Brisbane which became the subject of a special inquiry.

“A senior manager at the council said this ’I am throwing up at work almost daily - my psychologist says you have to have an exit plan’.

“This senior officer had started to express homicidal ideologies and had the capacity (concealable weapons) to do something.

“This was reported to police however unless more direct threats are made police are powerless to remove the perturbed person’s licensed handguns.”

Calls for council intervention The State Government is considering intervention into Fraser Coast Regional Council, with an October 2016 report from independent advisors - also tabled by Mr Pyne in Parliament in November - highlighting cultural problems within the workforce.

The report stated the advisors met with around 30 staff to “discuss their views on the operation of council”.

“Most staff wished to discuss broader organisation cultural issues,” the report noted.

“The common theme from these meetings was that there was a ‘culture of control, favouritism, a lack of trust, a fear of reprisal, low morale and a toxic working environment’.

“The advisors indicated that there are ‘severe tensions’ within council’s executive management team.”

Our say

Casey’s tips

Graham Buchner was named Warwick’s Australia Day Citizen of the Year for 2017 last week, with Greg Thouard taking out Stanthorpe’s top honour.

Graham Buchner was described in Southern Downs Regional Council’s citation as a ‘Warwick institution’ - a selfless person who always puts the Warwick community first.

Graham has had a long involvement with the community. He has received a number of awards over the years for his contributions to the community including an OAM for Road Safety and a Paul Harris Fellowship from Rotary International for exceptional community service.

Stanthorpe’s Citizen of the Year Greg Thouard was likewise described by the council as having provided an outstanding level of dedication and commitment to the community spanning more than four decades.

His citation said Greg had contributed to the “rich fabric“ of the Stanthorpe and Granite Belt community, and beyond through his participation

and leadership in many community, sporting and professional associations.

Greg’s involvement in and support for these associations is vast, crossing many sectors from sport and recreation, education, environment and finance, to arts, culture and music.

Letters Feeling safe?

The letter by David Littleproud (SFT, 26 January) refutes the fact that Maranoa is a safe seat and taken for granted.

Well I have news for him. Bruce Scott treated some of us with utter contempt by completely ignoring us, smug in the knowledge that his seat was the safest in Queensland. How can you represent anyone by ignoring them?

When Mr Littleproud was elected, I hoped that things would change for the better and that we would at last have a real representative in Canberra. Howev-

Inquire into low council morale

Greg Thouard

Email your letter to: newsdesk@freetimes.com.au er, he hasn’t given me any confidence so far because he didn’t bother to answer my query and when I telephoned his office for the second time, a spokesperson told me that he had passed the information on to the appropriate minister - I’ve heard nothing since.

This sounds good, but I expect the common courtesy of a reply from the member. That is what they are so highly paid for. I can only hope that we haven’t elected more of the same.

Peter Andrewartha, Stanthorpe.

Hands off saleyards In regard to the story “Knock it down” on the Warwick Saleyards (SFT, 22 December) I write as a concerned ratepayer and user of the current saleyards.

The current saleyards are fully paid for. They have received expensive upgrades and national accreditation in the past year of 2016 to bring them up to standard. In this shire we have endured large rate rises for the past four years or more and have been advised to expect rate rises for many years to come. So I would expect that spending $15 million on a new facility that we don’t re-

ally need will only add many more large rate rises for many years to come (which most of us can ill afford).

If it is the council’s intentions to offload the saleyards to private owners and operators that could open up a large can of worms, as in expensive fees and charges for sellers, agents and transport companies. The terms and conditions imposed by private operators could become unworkable, as we have seen in other deregulated industries. All saleyards users should be very concerned about this issue.

G. McConville, Yangan.

It is clear that many local governments across Queensland have a problem with morale and that allegations of a “toxic” workplace culture are not unique to the Southern Downs Regional Council.

Since our story on our own council’s workforce on 19 January, the Free Times has been contacted by a range of sources, including former employees, who shared similar experiences of intimidation on the job.

But with the issue far more widespread than just this region, one wonders if the pattern is being repeated due to a common thread, which may be the forced council amalgamations across Queensland by the Beattie ALP government in 2007.

Amalgamations were supposed to create cost savings and efficiencies. It’s debatable if that has been the case, and it now seems increasingly likely that the desperate pressure to rein in council budgets may be, at least in part, responsible for the mental agony that is driving some local government employees in this state to take their own lives.

Is it time to re-examine council amalgamations and open a debate as to their effectiveness?

Perhaps. But what is clear is that the current State Government needs to seriously consider an inquiry into council morale right across Queensland and get to the bottom of the problem before more lives are lost.

Bunnings eases in

In brief Hit and run: new trial to begin in June

By Jeremy Sollars

A truck driver accused of killing a cyclist in a hit and run at Inglewood will go to trial again in June.

Geoffrey Joseph Sleba is accused of leaving Dr Martin Pearson, 61, for dead on the Inglewood-Millmerran Road three years ago.

Police allege the Lowood veterinarian was participating in a cycling event when Sleba’s road train struck and killed him.

The new trial is set to begin on 12 June, and is expected to last a fortnight.

Sleba’s case was heard in the Warwick District Court last year, but was adjourned due to new evidence having come to light which the Crown had not examined at the time of the original trial.

The jury was sworn in on 17 October last year and dismissed the following day.

The 44-year-old is free on bail.

Southern Downs Regional Council has agreed to a relaxation of a number of conditions of approval for a new Bunnings outlet on the Condamine River floodplain in Warwick, following a vote at its January meeting in Stanthorpe.

The original approval was granted at the October 2016 meeting of the council but Bunnings objected to a number of conditions, including the setbacks of the proposed new building - planned for the vacant land behind KFC - from the frontages on Condamine and Canning streets.

Objectors raised concerns about the potential worsening the development could cause during floods - with nearly four metres of fill to be brought onto the site - along with traffic and heavy vehicles movements to and from the new store.

The main condition council has rescinded was for the new Bunnings to be set back six metres from the Condamine Street frontage and three metres from Canning Street, which means Bunnings now has the option of building right to the site boundary, including car parking.

A maximum height rule for the new building of 9.5 metres has been dropped, as has a requirement that Bunnings dedicate stormwater easements over adjoining properties to the council at Bunnings’ cost, with these easements no longer required.

The council will instead require basic stormwater treatment under the Queensland Urban Drainage Manual and will consider the original stormwater plan produced by Bunnings’ own engineering consultants.

The Stanthorpe Agricultural Society is a not for profit organisation established by an Act of the Qld Parliament in 1875 to raise the standards of agriculture in Qld, more specifically in the Granite Belt part of SE Qld. Now in the 21st century, the Stanthorpe Agricultural Society continues to support and promote Australian agricultural, horticultural and pastoral excellence and innovation through events, competition and education.

The Stanthorpe Agricultural Society is primarily responsible for organising and staging Stanthorpe’s largest show event - the annual Stanthorpe Show.

This show brings together the Granite Belt’s best for a weekend of agricultural, horticultural and pastoral competitions, displays and demonstrations, exhibitions, entertainment, commercial exhibits, carnival rides and a variety of food stalls.

In addition to the show, the Stanthorpe Agricultural Society encourages ventures that can make use of the facilities on the showground site to their best advantage throughout the year.

These ventures include using the grounds for markets, displays, expos, rallies, music festivals, private func-

tions and camping accommodation.

History During 1875, amid one of the worst droughts experienced, the Stanthorpe Agricultural Society was created in an effort to bring people together to generate a certain amount of enthusiasm among a then thriving mining community.

Since 1975, the Stanthorpe Agricultural Society has continued to hold its annual show on the fifth weekend of the calendar year without fail.

This means the show can occur on either the last weekend in January or first weekend in February.

As such, the society has the enviable reputation of hosting the first Agricultural Show for the Queensland show year.

An item of note is the fact that the Stanthorpe Agricultural Society is one of the oldest agricultural societies in Queensland and even pre-dates the Ekka by four months.

Now into its second century, the society has seen a number of presidents, supported by secretaries and treasurers successfully manage the society’s responsibilities and activities, in conjunction with a wealth of volunteers, stewards and subcommittee members.

Stanthorpe/Stanthorpe Show

Get fitted out for the show Kent Saddlery at Stanthorpe wants its customers to be looking their best for this weekend’s 2017 Stanthorpe Show.

That’s why it is throwing open its doors all day Friday - the show holiday - and all day Saturday so that show-goers can check out its fine range of quality, hand-crafted leather goods and other country gear.

Store manager Peter Mau said the store’s display area had recently been revamped for its extensive range of hats and boots with a new section of shelving taking up half of the store’s back wall.

“We’ll be open all day Friday and Saturday so come on in and have a look at our range of hats, boots and belts - you’ll really look the part for this year’s show,” Peter said.

“The weather is going to be hot this weekend - it’s a forecast of 35 degree which is pretty hot for Stanthorpe - so a good hat is going to be essential.”

Kent Saddlery’s leather goods are all hand-manufactured in the company’s Queensland workshop

and it also stocks a huge range of other gift items including pocket knives and trusted Leatherman tools, along with custom-made saddles and associated horse gear for the equine enthusiast.

Kent Saddlery includes a gallery style retail area, reminiscent of an old time saddlery store with Kent Saddles and leather gear for sale, along with stocks of other familiar items and some interesting and novel products.

An invitation is extended to existing and new customers to drop in to say hello and browse, or stock up on Kent Saddlery and other items.

There’s a live animal feature for the kids, plenty of parking space for horse floats and goosenecks, and a round yard facility is available for travellers to spell their horses for an hour or two.

Check out the range of goods online at www.kentsaddlery.com.au.

Kent Saddlery Stanthorpe is located on the New England Highway on the northern approach to Stanthorpe, just past McDonalds and the Caltex Star Mart.

RENTAL MARKET RETURNS TO NORMAL

By Felicity Moore, REIQ Queensland’s rental market improved over the December quarter with many markets behaving as forecast, returning to more traditional vacancy rates after an unusual September quarter result.

REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said, generally speaking, the year ended on a steady note.

“The data has shown that supply and demand in the rental market is fairly evenly matched in the south-east corner.

“The vacancy rate in inner Brisbane has fallen to 3.6 per cent, which is very close to the healthy range and this is good news for both landlords and tenants.

“When vacancy rates are within the healthy range it means landlords can secure tenants comfortably and it also means tenants have the opportunity to secure appropriate and suitable rental accommodation,” she said.

With the exception of the September 2016 quarter, Brisbane City has remained within the healthy range of 2.5-3.5 per cent since December 2013, indicating the rental market is steady and well-balanced between supply and demand.

Greater Brisbane’s vacancy rates have held steady in the healthy range for five quarters, falling to 3 per cent this quarter.

The Logan rental market weakened over the December quarter, reaching a vacancy rate of 3.3 per cent, which is still within the healthy range.

Tourism centres * After 13 quarters operating in the tight range, the Gold Coast rental market operated within the healthy range for the December quarter, reaching a vacancy rate of 2.5 per cent. * Maroochy Coast was the tightest rental market in Queensland with a vacancy rate of 1.1 per cent for December. * Noosa vacancy rates remained relatively steady with vacancy rates of 1.4 per cent. This market has operated in the tight range for the past four years (since September 2012). * Rentals of medium to high density living in Noosa follow a cyclical performance with a market peak during the summer and holidays period.

Vacancy rates of units in Noosa reduced from 3.2 per cent in June to 1.4 per cent in December. * The Cairns rental market

remains generally healthy with vacancy rates at 2.4 per cent for December. * Fraser Coast has experienced some volatility over the past eight years, however, it continues to operate in the healthy range, rising to 3.3 per cent in the December quarter. * Maryborough rental market recorded the largest increase in vacancy rates over the quarter of 3.2 per cent, reaching vacancy rates of 5.6 per cent, primarily due to new housing construction in the region.

Regional centres * Toowoomba vacancy rate increased from 2.3 per cent for September to 2.8 per cent for December. This market has operated within the tight and healthy range since the REIQ began reporting vacancy rates in 2008. * With the exception of Toowoomba, Gympie, Scenic Rim, Southern Downs and Tablelands, the rental markets in regional centres are weak with consistent low demand. * Southern Downs recorded the largest vacancy rate fall, dropping 2.2 per cent, from 5.3 per cent in September to 3.1 per cent in December.

* Vacancy rates in Bundaberg, Rockhampton and Townsville improved between 0.3 per cent and 0.7 per cent, but these markets are still weak. * Banana recorded the highest vacancy rate in the State of 15.2 per cent in the December quarter.

Ms Mercorella said signs were good that 2017 would bring improving conditions to regional Queensland.

“The State Government is focusing its jobs-creation programs on centres such as Gladstone, Rockhampton, Mackay and Townsville.

“Also, it is well known that jobs and rental markets go handin-hand.

“When workers are made redundant they are often forced to leave town to search for work elsewhere and we are seeing many move to south-east Queensland.

“But the low Australian dollar will bring visitors to our tourism centres such as Cairns and Mackay and, hopefully, the rising coking coal price will benefit the mining centres such as Gladstone, Rockhampton, and Townsville, as well as western Queensland mining towns,” she said.

morning if it’s at least a bit compelling with its appeal.

This 10 per cent guide isn’t something dreamed up, but a common industry guideline that’s proven its validity over many years.

Lots of inquiries but no offers?

So maybe buyers are coming to inspect and there is the occasional promising nod or comment about bringing a partner back, but nothing eventuates.

This is an indication the property may be five to 10 per cent overpriced. Consider this: very few buyers who come to an inspection are really “tyre kickers”.

They chose to inspect it, so it must meet at least some of their criteria, and they took time to fit it into their crazy Saturday schedule.

If they don’t like it enough to make an offer there’s a good chance it’s attracting the wrong buyers. They’re expecting something better for that money.

You’re actually helping them see better value in something else.

Why don’t they try me with an offer?

If agents had a dollar for every seller-client who said “They can always make an offer”. The only time a potential buyer is going to go to the trouble of writing an offer is if they are

genuine about wanting to buy the house close to the price set.

Very few people will start writing a contract with the hope of negotiating the seller down more than 10 per cent.

Lots of inspections but nothing happens If there is plenty of foot traffic to the open home, then the marketing is working. The good news here is it that it doesn’t take a big change in price to get some action.

Offers will come once the home is within 5 per cent of that elusive “market value”.

This is the sweet spot and this is where you’re often able to create some competition through multiple offers at one time.

In a good market, setting the price accurately can be better than an auction for the seller, because it attracts buyers and creates competition.

The salesperson’s job is to maximise the sale price and this is a great opportunity to do that because the buyers must put forward their best offer without knowing what the other buyer has offered.

Buyer interest is highest when you’re fresh to the market so it’s no surprise that the best sales prices we ever see are when a client puts their place on the market from the start in that 5 per cent range.

OPEN HOME & AUCTION TIMES

12338477-LN05-17

How you can hit that price The home is on the market, the ads look good on the listings portals and the signboard is huge in front of the home but it’s been a while and there hasn’t been any serious offers.

What about dropping the price?

Here are a few simple signs that a home is overpriced and the seller should consider a price adjustment.

No calls - what’s wrong?

If a house is on the market but there has been no inquiries and no inspections, and therefore not a nibble of an offer, the home is probably at least 10 per cent over the market price.

Yes, there are some exceptions to this rule.

If the home hasn’t been advertised or the agent is difficult to reach, that’ll make it hard to get an inquiry. And if a property is something genuinely unique that will only appeal to a small slice of the market it will take time to find that right buyer.

But, provided the sale hasn’t been kept a secret, and at least the basics have been done to promote it then it should be getting interest.

Why won’t buyers take a look anyway, even if they think the price is well over the odds?

Buyers are like everyone else - time poor.

They have a world of choice and a property only gets them off the couch on a Saturday

★★★★★★★★

History is in bloom

★★★★★★★★ ARIES—March 21-April 20 Coincidences are scattered through the week and your intuition is generally strong. You are inclined to spend more lavishly than you should. Your best entertaining is done on a shoestring.

Garden

TAURUS—April 21-May 22

Time

Higherups support your ideas, but be prepared to back them up with statistics. A relationship becomes more relaxed. Partnership activities require more detailed planning.

with Beatrice Hawkins

GEMINI—May 23-June 21 This week sees you enjoying the limelight, thanks to a recent accomplishment. Family ties strengthen and an older relative supports your stand. A lost item may be found.

CANCER—June 22-July 22 Plans should prove successful even though a friend may bow out at the last minute. In group undertakings, be sure that everything is equally divided.

LEO—July 23-August 22 Thursday - Friday finds you highly intuitive, especially in romantic situations. The weekend’s accent is on entertaining with flair. The highlight is on long term financial planning.

VIRGO—August 23-September 22 Be careful not to discard items prematurely - there may be some unknown treasures among them. Your curiosity is increasingly active - a plus on the job, a liability in romance.

LIBRA—September 23-October 22 Career or adademic interests undergo a period of change.

A lucky romance cycle begins. Punctuality is extremely important for all meetings and appointments.

SCORPIO—October 23-November 21 Watch a tendency to procrastinate and don’t postpone or cancel appointments with specialists. Romance flourishes provided you are less secretive. An injured friendship shows signs of gradual recovery.

SAGITTARIUS—November 22-December 22 The focus is on reunions and reconciliations. Creativity runs high after the weekend - an outstanding time for redecorating or designing. Business and pleasure mix well.

CAPRICORN—December 23-January 20 Be more precise in expressing your viewpoint, especially where personal relationships are involved. A career roadblock won’t be removed automatically. Your participation in all things is a vital factor.

AQUARIUS—January 21-February 19 Creative writing is highlighted, but your business writing needs some polishing. In romance, positive thinking can bring favourable results. Communications with neighbours improve.

PISCES—February 20-March 20 At the workplace, diplomacy is your middle name.

Learning a foreign language may prove advantageous.

Old established remedies prove the key to solving family disputes.

BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK You are sympathetic to the needs of others, making you a sought after friend. At home and at work, you are highly resourceful, and you are hard to pin down. Opportunities for career or financial growth may be highlighted. The key is to be observant of trends.

This month the birthday flower is the violet, symbolising loyalty and we have a special reason for noting this as the violet plays a part in Toowoomba’s history and is the official floral emblem of the city.

The history of the Toowoomba violet is a lovely story and one with which I have become familiar since shifting to the Downs region but was new to me.

The botanical name is Viola Odorata Princess of Wales, commonly known as sweet violet and is native to Europe.

The mothers and other family members of those that went from Toowoomba for World War I and didn’t return sold bunches of these violets to raise funds to build a memorial to the fallen.

There were 50 violets and three leaves in each bunch, tied with cotton and sold for three pence.

Altogether there was £1800 raised from the sales and the memorial was built in 1922 which is now located in East Creek Park.

Now, by my calculations, that means there were 144,000 bunches sold - 7,200,000 individual flowers which is no small effort for a town of about 20,000 people.

From what I can gather these were all from private gardens, so violets were definitely a popular flower back then.

The flower was declared to be Toowoomba’s floral emblem in January 1932.

It lost its way over the years and was reintroduced in July 2012 at the Toowoomba Hospice Camellia Show with 300 plants for sale.

The history of the violet dates back to ancient Greece where it was linked with love and romance.

I bought a Toowoomba violet plant at the Camellia Show in 2016 and it is doing well in a spot that gets protection from hot weather.

I am looking forward to it spreading widely

popular Australian native that grew on the creek bank on the other side of the swamp, in damp, shady areas where a patient older brother and I would explore.

These were a real treat to find and bring home.

I am glad someone thought to bring them to nurseries and grow them in suburban gardens as they look wonderful around shady ponds with their pretty white, blue centred, pansy like faces.

Other smaller varieties also struggled for space in the garden, pretty tiny pink ones, delicate white varieties and even cream and yellow ones.

I haven’t seen these in gardens or nurseries for years. Maybe I need to start a campaign to bring them back!!

Now for some trivia.

Viola is the largest genus of the family violaceace containing between 525-600 species and violets, pansies and violas are all part of this and found as native in some form in most of the countries of the world.

The Greeks used the violets in wine, foods and medicine and loved it so much it became the symbol of Athens.

Violets were Napoleon’s signature flower and he covered his wife Josephine’s grave with them when she died in 1814.

so I can pick bunches and have their wonderful perfume inside.

Violets don’t seem to be as prominent in gardens these days as when I was a child but maybe this is because they do tend to run a bit wild to the exclusion of other flowers.

Bunches of violets and freesias were a favourite of mine.

The old fashioned common freesia, before all the beautiful coloured ones were developed and popularised, used to grow on the verge of the road as I walked home after school.

Bunches of the highly perfumed beauties were often picked for Mum to add to the violets growing in profusion under the Elberta peach tree in the back yard, another fruit variety I have not seen, heard of or tasted in years.

She was a patient lady with a flower obsessed small girl!!

These violets were not the beautiful, deep purple perfumed wonders of the Toowoomba violet but probably the common variety from which they were developed but I still adored them and they grew so easily and in such abundance.

They took ages to pick and filled in a lot of time for a small girl.

The other violet of my childhood was the now

The bygone comes back

Casey’s tips

Exhibitors and organisers were thrilled with an increased turn-out for the 2017 Allora Heritage Weekend held over 28 and 29 January.

Visitors to the Allora Showgrounds were transported back to a bygone era with vintage and veteran vehicles, trucks and working machinery on show, along with great food and entertainment.

The Free Times was there to check out the Weekend, one of the biggest on the Allora calendar.

Killarney's Ralph Affleck brought his legendary sawmill 'log skidder' back to Allora again this year by popular demand.

Purring along: One of the classics.

Andrew Kennedy showed off his 1936 Caterpillar RD8.

Toowoomba's John Wagner with his 2014-built scale Western Star replica.

Camden Fels with some old-time military wheels.

A true local character: Allora's Kookie Tickle with Brisbane visitor Diann Russell.

New reign for Emma

By Jeremy Sollars Emma Deicke from Bowen River in North Queensland was named Miss Rodeo Australia 2017 at a function in Warwick last Saturday night, 28 January.

Emma takes over the title from 2016 Miss Rodeo Australia Katy Scott of Cloncurry.

Also competing for the title were

Warwick’s Sophie Amos, Kate Taylor of Cloncurry and Isabelle Hare of Deniliquin, NSW. The contenders went through horsemanship trials at the Warwick Showgrounds on Saturday, along with interviews with the judging panel and public speaking. They spent Friday touring Warwick.

Outgoing Miss Rodeo Australia Katy Scott said she had had “an amazing year” touring the Australian rodeo circuit and also travelling to overseas events.

What a Grand Slam The

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

What a privilege it was to watch the final of the Australian Open on Sunday night. I am sure like me most people were glued to the TV as two of the giants of the game went head to head. Much has been written and said about the game and Federer and Nadal - all I can add is it was a privilege to watch such an enthralling game. On Saturday night, the Ladies final certainly did not disappoint as the Williams sisters turned on a masterclass and showed the rest of the world what amazing players they are and what a special relationship they have.

There is no doubt the 2017 Australian Open will be talked about for years to come as perhaps the best of all time.

The BBL final on Saturday night had many people channel surfing keeping up with the tennis and cricket scores. BBL is done and dusted for another year with the Scorchers adding another title to their collection. The competition broke all records and exceeded the expectations of everyone. Now with talk of expansion on everyone’s lips, let’s hope organisers do not sacrifice a great tournament for financial gain.

A crazy International cricket schedule now has an almost unrecognisable Australian team in NZ playing an ODI series for the Chappell Hadlee trophy while others prepare or rest up for an Indian Tour. Seems bookmakers are not giving the Aussies much hope of an upset win on the sub-continent-last odds I heard had Australia better than 20/1. India will certainly separate the wheat from the chaff - it will be a true test on many levels for not just the players but also the coach and selectors who are under a fair amount of pressure.

This weekend the Rugby Sevens tournament gets underway in Sydney and our allconquering ladies team, the Pearls have put the Rio experience firmly behind them as they prepare to shine in Sydney. The men’s team will be hoping for a better outcome than Rio. It is also time to kick into rugby league mode. The Auckland Nines this weekend signal the Rugby League season is almost upon us. There is already much talk around who will be playing for what team in 2018 before a ball is kicked in the 2017 pre-season or the ref blows time on. Me thinks that while there will be plenty of fans chomping at the bit anticipating the start of the league season there will be some turned off by the horse trading talk.

Let’s just get some footy played in this 30deg plus heat. It’s all a bit hard to comprehend really.

- Casey BACK TO BUSINESS FOR WARWICK CRICKETERS After the excitement and colour of the Australia Day cricket carnival the previous weekend, it was back to business for Warwick Cricketers in round 11 of the Condamine Cup as the season draws rapidly towards the finals.

On Saturday, Wheatvale travelled to Inglewood and came away with the points after setting the home side a total of 236.

Carter Billborough has been one of the inform batsmen this season, and against Inglewood the captain led from the front top-scoring with 88.

He was joined by Jonno Colfs in a fourth-wicket partnership that netted 76 runs before Colfs was run out for 53. Ross Bilbrough (23no) and Jarryd Fearnby (21) also batted well.

Chasing a big total, it was important that the Inglewood openers made a positive start. Jamien Smith was out for 24 and Lachlan Campbell topscored with 30 before he was dismissed. Unfortunately, the good news ended with the dismissal of the openers and the home side were bowled out 75 runs shy of their target.

Tutu clad Kirsten Ellis pushes on up the hill at the high school in the bike ride leg of the Australia Day Triathlon.

The Wheatvale bowling attack was spearheaded by good performances from Riley Doherty (4/29) and Colin O’Brien (3 /18).

In Allora it was Maryvale Condamine who faced a good bowling performance from Allora bowler Lee Watt. Watt took five wickets for 12 runs. Paul Bourke was the backbone of the Maryvale innings, scoring 45 not out as the side was dismissed for 109. Maryvale showed plenty of fight defending the small total well and had their opponents all out for 86 to grab the points.

Redbacks had a comprehensive 124-run win over Sovereign Animals at Slade on Saturday.

Coen Slatter (65) helped set up their total of 165.

In the run chase, Sovereign collapsed to be all out for 39 as Redbacks bowler Morgan Gilchrist ripped through the batting line-up taking five wickets for just four runs. Sam Waetford’s bowling figures of 3/8 were almost as impressive.

In Sunday’s fixture Warwick at Slade Oval Colts dominated in their game against Allora Railway Hotel Rascals. Colts batted first and set a cracking target of 226 after a fine batting performance from their top order. Maugann Benn top-scored with 74. Teammate Lachlan Gross continued his good form scoring 33.

There was little joy for the Rascals bowlers with Jack Bannister the best of the attack finishing with 3/33 from his six overs.

In reply, the Rascals struggled after losing their opener Jamie Holmes for just four runs.

Only three of the Rascals batsmen made it to double figures with James Moore top-scoring with 22.

Maugann Benn topped off a fine innings with the bat finishing with match winning figures of three wickets for nine runs from his three overs.

He was well supported with the ball by youngster Jacob Gross (2/14 from four) who continues to impress this season.

This weekend teams will play the T20 matches that were washed out in Round one of the fixtures.

The T20 draw is: Mayhew Oval: Inglewood v Redbacks 10am; Maryvale v Allora 1pm Slade Park: Colts v Sovereign 10am; Wheat-

CHANGING CONDITIONS AT ‘GARRA An enthusiastic field played the Single Stroke event at the Wallangarra Golf Club on Saturday. The group enjoyed plenty of sunshine and things were cooled off with a couple of showers throughout the game that had no-one complaining. W. Davies handled the changing conditions better than others coming out on top with a 66 nett. A few shots back was runner up, K. Williams one shot in advance of and Steve Hampstead.

Hampstead and Williams claimed the only two pin shots during the round. Hampstead at the third and Williams on the ninth.

This week the club will be playing for the February Monthly Medal and Putting sponsored by the Wallangarra Railway Cafe.

A date to put in your golf calendar is certainly 19 February when the Wallangarra Golf Club hosts the Darling Downs Golf Association (DDGA) Open Carnival.

A friendly reminder to all members that membership for the financial year is due by the 19 February.

PAYNE PATRON Michelle Payne, who raised the profile of women in racing since her historic Melbourne Cup win, was recently named Patron of the Australian Jockey’s Trust.

For the 31-year-old, this is a very special honour and something she says is very close to her heart and has opened up about some of the unspoken challenges she and many other jockeys face.

The NJT provides support for former and current jockeys, and their families, following a serious injury, illness or death.

“To be a patron is really special to me,” she said. “Every jockey at some stage of their career has had a fall where they have been put in the position where they need help, and it is so comforting to know that the National Jockey’s Trust is there.”

Payne, who is no stranger to adversity, revealed for the first time she suffered depression after a horrific race fall early in her career.

Her first serious fall at Sandown in 2004 resulted in bleeding in her brain and post-traumatic amnesia. She said despite the severity of the fall she never wavered from her desire to make it as a top rider.

Danger and racing go hand in hand, and since 2004 the Trust has provided assistance to more than 300 jockeys.

If the AJT was looking for someone to give their cause a strong voice, they have certainly found it in Payne who has shown in the past she is not afraid to voice her opinions on the things in which she believes strongly about.

SPORTERS WIN FOR HILTON Dick Hilton overcame a good field to claim a win at Sporters last Sunday in Stanthorpe. Terry Roser was another player who had a good morning. A good round landed him the runners-up spot and he also took home one of the meat trays. Runner downs went to John Rawlings and Angelo Maugeri.

Matt Waterworth was another who had a great day picking up the Best Gross, the Pin Shot on the third and the Pro Pin. Nick Casey took home the remaining Meat Tray. Tee off next Sunday is at the normal time of 7.30am - 8.30am. A reminder that visitors and first time players are always welcome to join the regulars.

TANNY CLASSIC ROLLS ON Last Friday night was round three of the popular Tanny Classic. A great roll up of 40 bowlers turned up at the Tannymorel Bowls Club and reports are that at least 15 were up to no good at all.

Venus started things by tying herself to the flagpole in protest of the judiciary who unanimously decided to let her get her own way but take note - “they are watching you”.

Leonie Rickard is claiming the title of “Best Bowler” in the Rickard household. Apparently she practices her delivery up the hallway. While she is busy skiting about her bowling prowess her husband has been heard making noises about the benefits of her using a vacuum cleaner or something.

No surprise that Leonie Rickard was among the winners on Friday night. Also on the winning side of the ledger were Lorna T, Geoff Farmer and Jimbo Rickard who all picked up four points.

Runners-up were Wayne “Corn Cob” Petersen, Jessie Wallace and Myrtle and Pedro Gynther who each got three points.

In third place were Michelle Amos, Vic Nelsen, Veronica Banditt and Grumpy who received two points.

The evening results looked like this: Matt Shepherd, Mavis Lauradon, Richy Tartan and Mick O’Leary defeated Hamish Hoffman, Iro Fordyce, Jason Fritz and Aaron McKinney in a good game with final scores 14-10.

Clayton Frank, Venus Smith Sandy Wallace and Johno Johnson had a 13-10 win over Maria McDonald, Shirl Wallace, Geoff David and Tadpole Banditt.

The overall winners Leonie Rickard, Lorna T, Geoff Farmer and Jimbo Rickard had a comprehensive 18-7 win over Geane Lambert, Wayne Frank, Brian Walsh and Ant Butz. Runners-up Wayne Petersen and his crew defeated Gary Amos Cory Burmester Marg T and Thommo 15-5. The third placegetters had a 14-7 win over Shaun Kelly, Jimbo Lamb, Sue Butz and Tuck.

With three rounds of the Tanny Classic done and dusted the scoreboard is very congested.

Leading the way on eight points are Marg T and Jimbo Rickard One point back are Tuck and Pedro Gynther. Breathing down their necks are a group on six points including Geoff Farmer, Grumpy, Leonie “No 1” Rickard, Lorna T, Venus (minus the Flagpole) and the “Ole Fella” Vic Nelson. Hot on their heels are Gary Amos, Geane Lambert, Fritzy, Shep, Myrtle and VB. Looks like it’s going to be a battle to the end.

Organisers are thrilled to see so many bowlers and non-bowlers turning up for a rollup, a laugh and some great country hospitality.

Thanks to Gordie Assay who has donated the winners and runners-up prizes for the first five weeks of the classic.

Local Sport STANTHORPE GOLFERS KEPT BUSY It was a busy week for Stanthorpe golfers. On Australia Day a large field of regulars were joined by members of Sporters for the Ambrose event.

Play got underway early in the morning with a shot gun start allowing players plenty of time to enjoy the remaining Australia Day activities.

It was a close finish, however it was the team of Peter Goodsir and Ian Anderson who eventually prevailed with a nett 60 after scoring 73 for the round. Two of the group flying the flag for Sporters, Mark Lynam and Rod Pettiford scored a nett 62 for a gross return of 72 which gave the pair of a second placing.

The club extends a special thanks to those volunteers who helped the day and sponsored the events.

On Saturday club stalwart Aaron Simmers turned back the clock and won the Single Stableford Club event. Simmers shot a front nine score of 24 points and backed it up with a back nine of 21.

The six-event program opened with a win for Toowoomba galloper Poetic Diamond. Starting at

top weight appreciated the 2kg claim of apprentice Jedidah Hodge narrowly beating Nautical Lad and favourite Zaha County.

It wrapped up another successful Allora Cup Day meeting for the Warwick Turf Club.

CONDITIONS NO PROBLEM The stifling heat association croquet has done little to dampen the enthusiasm of the Stanthorpe Mallet Sports Groups When the association croquet group hit the court, it was Margaret Dickenson and partner Jenny Tunbridge leading the way. Margaret nailed three brakes of three in their score of 26.

Jenny Tunbridge had the shot of the day with a past roll going straight through the hoop. Andrea Denkewitz and Effey Russell out-scored the pairing of Grace Howard and Val Richardson 22-10 in their match up.

Good numbers played golf croquet later in the week, and players welcomed a new player Sharyn Roser to their ranks. Sharyn was teamed with experienced play Val Fancourt in her first game and she impressed scoring four hoops in their total of nine. They were beaten 11-9 in a close game by Liz Ellway and Justin Liddy. Lid-

dy top-scored with six hoops. Dianne Wren, playing two, defeated Teresa Pyne and Shirley Page 13- 9. Although beaten on the scoreboard, Shirley Page landed a very tricky jump shot while her partner scored a hoop in one. Wren top-scored with seven. Elaine Brown also played two in a game against Pauline Inglis and Bev Sullivan and scored nine.

In the second session, Liz Ellway and Elaine Brown teamed up to score a narrow win 10-9 over Dianne Wren and Bev Sullivan. The remaining group played a triples game. Newcomer Sharyn Roser notched up her first win when she partnered Val Fancourt and Teresa Pyne for a 7-5 win.

Making up the Red Ball team were Andrea Denkewitz, Bill Golding, Les Williams, John Draper and Effey Russell.

In game one, White had an excellent 20-8 win with all team members contributing some good shots. The Red team turned the tables in game two and picked up a 12 -8 win, thanks in part to some good play from Bill Golding.

Team changes were made after the break and the make-up of the White team was Bill Golding, Sharyn Roser, Les Williams and Jenny. They took on the Red team of Joy Newman, Val Fancourt, Effey Russell, and Margaret Dickenson and John Draper. Andrea Denkewitz acted as referee. Once again it was one game apiece with White successful 18-10 and Red taking a close game 10-9.
