MORE TO LOVE The editor’s desk The thoughts of the Warwick community continue to be with the 15-year-old girl who was brutally assaulted in the early hours of Tuesday 10 October, allegedly by two other teenage girls.

As a parent one can only imagine the emotions her family has been experiencing over the last week since the girl was placed in an induced coma following brain surgery.

Fortunately she has begun to show slight signs of responsiveness in recent days but it’s going to be a hell of a long battle for her.

The incident is part of a disturbing trend of violent acts being committed by teenage girls in this community and others.

Presumably ‘the experts’ have some clue as to why girls are just as willing to punch on these days as boys.

But regardless of gender these kinds of incidents - where you have more than one attacker on the one victim - are also disturbing for their cowardly nature. Our schools and our justice system need to deal more effectively with these kinds of bullies to reduce the chances of other victims ending up fighting for their lives in hospital.

THIS WEEK WE’RE TALKING ABOUT… TEACHER FOR THE GREENS

Toowoomba-based Greens candidate for Southern Downs Antonia van Geuns.

“Since my early days, I have consistently been interested in and advocated for natural environments, Indigenous rights and the arts.

“I actively engage in protection of natural ecosystems, solar energy production, backyard food production, promoting self-determination and respect for First Nations

OFF TO COURT ON GRAINX The Southern Downs Regional Council has formally taken Allora’s GrainX to court over alleged non-compliance with operating conditions.

Documents filed with the Queensland Planning and Environment Court on Monday 25 September outline the council’s case, with the respondents listed as GrainX chief executive officer Chris Hood and manager David Brown.

As previously reported in the Free Times many Allora residents say GrainX has made life in ‘The Best Little Town on the Downs’ a living hell, with dust and noise from grain handling and trucks for some years.

people, accepting refugees and celebrating multiculturalism.

“I am committed to reducing climate change - advocating for renewable alternatives to coal mining, defending free speech, peace and ensuring government is free from the influence of multi-national and corporate money deals.

“I am motivated to foster an awareness

The council’s solicitors - Brisbane firm Connor O’Meara - have outlined the list of breaches the council alleges GrainX has committed under Queensland’s Environmental Protection Act. Specifically the council is seeking the Planning and Environment Court to issue GrainX with ‘restraint and enforcement orders’ relating to noise from “fixed and mobile plant and equipment”, and noise from “a package diesel generator unit” on the GrainX site.

The council also alleges GrainX does not have formal building approval for “the construction of four silos on the eastern boundary”, and has not provided “dense landscaping” on the eastern boundary - adjacent to Herbert

CHRISTMAS BEHIND BARS

days showed signs of slight responsiveness, including squeezing her father’s hand and appearing to respond to noises.

The family has thanked locals on social media for their support through the ordeal and a ‘gofundme’ page has been created to raise money for the girl’s medical expenses.

Her alleged attackers are due to appear before the Toowoomba Magistrates’ Court again on Tuesday 19 December for further mention, and both remain remanded in custody.

The assault allegedly took place near the intersection of Canning and Percy streets in Warwick around 2am on the Tuesday, while the victim and a friend were walking home from a party.

The friend fled the scene to seek help and a passing motorist stopped to give the girl first aid and contacted the police.

Police alleged the victim was punched and kicked in the head while she lay on the ground.

The alleged offenders were questioned by police on Tuesday afternoon before being charged. ●

A 15-year-old girl who was assaulted by two other teenage girls on a Warwick street early last week has showed slight early signs of responsiveness after being placed in an induced coma.

Two teenage girls charged with the brutal assault of the 15-yearold may spend Christmas behind bars after their applications for release from custody on bail were refused by a magistrate.

Shannon Angela Williams, 18, and her co-accused, a 16-year-old female juvenile who cannot be named due to her age, appeared before the Toowoomba Magistrates’ Court last Thursday 12 October.

They are both charged with assault causing grievous bodily harm in relation to their alleged attack on the 15-year-old in the early hours of Tuesday 10 October.

The Free Times understands the girl who remains in a critical condition in Brisbane’s Princess Alexandra Hospital - has in the past several

Street residents, the closest in town and “street trees”, as required by the company’s development approval.

The council has also asked the court to order that GrainX pay its court and investigation costs.

The court documents show that the council alleges noise monitoring carried out by consultants shows noise levels from GrainX cause “significant impact” on “surrounding lawful land uses” and have “exceeded criteria limits”. “(Council’s) investigations demonstrate that the residential amenity enjoyed by residents in Herbert, Darling, South and Pratten streets - both internal and external to their homes - is significantly adversely impacted by noise generated (from the

Southern Downs Regional Council will conduct annual testing of its Flood Emergency Warning Systems at Killarney and Leyburn on Wednesday 1 November.

The council’s local disaster coordinator Peter See said the testing on that day would be held between the times of 9am to noon at Killarney and between noon and 3pm at Leyburn.

The siren systems, one located at Killarney Fire Station in Ivy Street and the other located at Leyburn Police Station on Leyburn Forestry Road, are fixed sirens used to alert the community of an impending flood that may directly affect the community.

The sirens are audible between 915 metres and 1280 metres, depending on weather conditions. ●

The Greens have endorsed Toowoomba schoolteacher Antonia van Geuns as their candidate for our seat of Southern Downs at the next state election.

Speculation is rife about when ALP Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk will call the next Queensland election, which is not due until March next year but could be held as late as next May under current electoral rules.

But many political observers believe the premier will go to the polls before Christmas, which means an election could be called anytime in the next few weeks.

A statement released

by Antonia van Geuns last week outlines her teaching experience and political aspirations as a Greens representative.

“I have lived in Toowoomba for the last 34 years, where I taught secondary school science with a special interest in environmental studies,” she said.

of our place in the natural world while establishing compassion and fairness for all. I am an unapologetic defender of natural environments, quiet spaces, nourishment of individuals and champion appreciation of small things.

“I am a campaigner for ethically based government policy, and believe everybody has the right to a sense of place, home ownership, intergenerational equity, free education and health.

“I advocate for community concerns and improved strength of local legislation to improve selfdetermination of local communities.”

In the Southern Downs electorate Antonia van Geuns will go up against LNP candidate James Lister, One Nation’s Josh Coyne and independent Rob Mackenzie.

The ALP is yet to announce its Southern Downs candidate. ●

FOOD

FOR THOUGHT

BY JEREMY SOLLARS

T

he saying ‘food is medicine’ never rings truer than at Warwick Hospital, where anything up to 10,000 meals are served up every month by its catering corps.

The hospital’s kitchen is humming along after a full refurbishment completed just a couple of months ago, and everything is gleaming stainless steel and shiny glass, and an air of brisk efficiency.

Not only is the task of feeding general and acute-care hospital patients but also residents of The Oaks nursing home next door a daily miracle of organisation - it also has to meet exacting nutritional standards.

As the hospital’s manager of Operational Services Anna Lidden says, people “often forget there is a clinical treatment dimension to hospital food - it’s part of helping patients to get better”.

“Recipes have to meet State-wide Queensland Health nutritional standards and our menus here at Warwick Hospital are also designed under the direction of our dietician and speech pathologist,” Anna told the Free Times.

“Menus are fully revised twice a year under best practice, and again that’s under the scrutiny of our dietician.

WARWICK HOSPITAL FOOD FUN FACTS · Catering staff serve up an average of around 400 meals per day, including morning and afternoon tea; · A total of 9790 meals were dished up in July alone, and 10,735 in August; in 2016-2017 a total of 213,759 were cooked and served; · A typical ‘meal service’ such as lunch or dinner will see between 15 and 20 kilos of protein, such as chicken, prepared as part of menu items; · The kitchen cooks up around 5250 kilos of meat per year; potato and pumpkin alone is around 1260 kilos per year; · As well as cooks and operational catering staff, around 75 people work in the Operational Services section of the hospital, which includes cleaners, grounds, security and maintenance personnel.

The Warwick Hospital kitchen has had a full makeover.

“We also have to cater for special dietary requirements such as vegetarian and gluten-free, and obviously we provide a certain amount of ‘texture-modified’ foods for the patients who require those, and children’s meals.

“We have kitchen staff here who have 40 years of service - they’ve seen a lot of changes in patients’ meals in that time.

“Some of them can remember the days of the deep-fryer and tripe and the like - obviously today we’re much more aware of and in the mindset of healthy eating.”

Anna said The Oaks residents do get their ‘special treats’, which along with their regular meals are prepared in the hospital kitchen and transported to the nursing home in mobile warmers.

Also of note is the preference of Warwick Hospital to source and use local produce wherever possible Queensland Health ultimately calls for catering tenders and has the final say, but Anna Lidden and her staff have input and advocate for fresh local produce as much as practicable.

Current local suppliers include Wickham Farms, Percy’s Fruit and Stanthorpe Meats.

“Most of what we do is cooked fresh,” Anna said.

“There are some items - such as texture-modified meals - which come in as a prepared item, but the majority of the 400 or so meals which come out of our kitchen every day are cooked from fresh.

“With the refurbishment of the kitchen, we’ve also sourced appliances from local retailers and used contractors for the work itself - we like to support the local economy wherever and whenever we can.”

Anna said the former kitchen was “gutted” and catering staff had to work out of temporary facilities for around eight weeks while the work was completed.

“It really is a credit to all of them that service delivery never failed despite all of the disruption - it was a remarkable feat,” she said.

“The kitchen underwent a complete re-build - four walls, new flooring and ceilings and work stations and equipment, all to best-practice and industry standard.

“It’s actually enabled us to expand our menu selection, and we have a special kitchenette with the ability to produce things like Kosher and Halal foods if required.” ●

“WE HAVE KITCHEN STAFF HERE WHO HAVE 40 YEARS OF SERVICE THEY’VE SEEN A LOT OF CHANGES IN PATIENTS’ MEALS IN THAT TIME.”

LETTERS OPEN UP ON SALEYARDS

Response to edition three of Southern Downs Mail, the recent PR brochure from the council (3 October) re: Message from the Mayor.

1. I suspect the satisfaction tracking study which surveyed 700 Queenslanders may not have surveyed too many ratepayers in this Shire of SDRC. We are paying higher rates here than the Gold Coast, while our roads are deteriorating at an alarming rate. In the mayor's message it states that three quarters of those surveyed considered the rates and charges levied at ratepayers were excellent, good or fair value for money. I for one would have to disagree with this and I suspect so would many others in this Shire of SDRC. 2. Apparently SDRC has made it a priority to increase community consultation. If this were true, why was it only after the article in the Free Times (Knock it down) that I and many other people became aware that our saleyards were being considered for destruction and possible rebuild of a new $15 million facility after lots of money had just been spent on expensive upgrades. I would also like to understand why all the rest of the saleyard advisory committee meetings were held in secret, and I believe the minutes of those meetings are still being kept secret. Meanwhile the SDRC claims to have prioritised community consultation. It doesn’t ring true to me.

12360622-CG32-17

Regarding the Warwick Saleyards saga - as a resident and ratepayer of Warwick for over 30 years, I would like to make a few suggestions.

• That the terms and conditions of the lease are published, in full, on the council website, so the ratepayers can see what they are actually getting (if anything).

• No major infrastructure spending, or any spending other than normal maintenance requirements, be undertaken from this time, until the lease comes into effect.

• An undertaking by the lease-holder that there will be no increase in fees and/or charges for the users for at least two years, and then a maximum increase each year to be indexed to inflation, with public notification of the increase at least three months before it is applied.

• That one of the conditions of the lease is that it must be reviewed within three months of any council election, with the then council having the right to terminate the lease with 12 months' notice.

• That any lease agreement is based upon the condition that the ratepayers will not spend a single dollar on the maintenance, upkeep, and/or upgrading of the saleyards and associated infrastructure once the lease comes into effect.

• Finally, that council will honour their commitment pre-election, to be open and accountable, and answer the question, once and for all - is the saleyards saga a result of state and/or federal government pressure to reduce the community assets held in trust by council?

Awaiting a reply (but not hanging by the fingernails), Don Hansford, Warwick.

CAN’T GET NO SATISFACTION

ity to the teaching and practice of the truths of our Christian faith as revealed in God’s word.

Former PM John Howard has stated, “This issue long ago stopped being about equality. There have already been over 80 pieces of legislation changed, to ensure that there is no inequality under the law. Changing marriage will not be the end of the issue. It is a political battle for our nation, for our children, for our institutions. The rainbow bullies will not stop at marriage.”

Yes, as the editor has pointed out, this is a costly exercise, but when spread across the whole electorate, it is probably no more than the cost of a morning tea at the cafe. Of course, this has only become necessary because of the failure of the government to govern. Having lost its moral compass, it lacks the unity and clear sense of direction necessary to lead our nation out of this mess.

In supporting the yes campaign, our PM sweeps aside legitimate concerns of the farreaching consequences of redefining marriage, claiming that the nations who have made these changes have not suffered any ill effects.

There obviously are problems when Jewish and Christian schools are inspected and threatened with closure for not teaching the whole LGBTI agenda, and when parents are denied any right to a say about the moral teaching of their children, or the prosecution of those teaching traditional Biblical values on marriage.

We could see all this as confirmation of G.K. Chesterton’s observation that “those who do not believe in God will believe in anything.”

John and Jenny Dunn, Glen Aplin.

FALLING FOR IT “Falling in love” is, I believe, the fundamental issue that needs to be addressed in dealing with

the same sex marriage issue. The argument usually put forward is that “we have fallen in love” and therefore want to marry. I would argue that falling in love is the problem rather than the justification. And further, that “falling in love” is a problem for both heterosexual and same-sex couples. My argument is biblically based, so will be of no relevance to those who do not accept this basis. For those who do, please consider the following: There has to be a cause for every effect.

What causes people to fall in love? Does it come from God? Or should the alternative be considered? Even atheists fall in love. I would argue that its purpose is to cause people to go down a path contrary to God’s way of life.

Being in love, if we look at it closely, is an extremely selfish emotion. People fall in love, but so often feelings dissipate, hearts get broken and tremendous harm is done. Terrible things often occur because, as the song says, “I can’t live, if living is without you.” How often bitterness replaces the love that couples once had for each other. This love fails. God’s love never fails.

It may be argued that “falling in love” is a tool being used to cause people to become involved in sex outside of marriage. Possibly this is its primary purpose. Couples, once married, sometimes wonder where the feeling of being in love has gone. To experience “falling in love” again it becomes necessary to find a new relationship outside marriage.

Falling in love is a euphoric experience. It looks good and it tastes good, as did that tree in the Garden of Eden. The fundamentals are the same.

Falling in love is a problem, rather than a justification for marriage.

Ray Wardle, Stanthorpe.

The Warwick Community Development Anzac Memorial Committee is on track to have the new memorial wall and dais in place in time for Anzac Day 2018.

The new memorial wall - to be built near the existing Leslie Park Cenotaph - will commemorate every conflict in which Australians have served, from the Boer War to Afghanistan.

The dais will be a permanent stage for Anzac Day and other wartime commemorations, with a temporary stage currently used at those events.

But a particular emphasis of the memorial wall itself is on recognising the service of younger veterans - in post-Vietnam conflicts like Somalia, Rwanda, Bougainville, East Timor, the Solomon Islands and Iraq and Afghanistan.

Memorial committee spokesman Johno Felton said the group was confident the remaining funds for the project would come from government grants, but donations from the public would still be gratefully accepted.

They can be made at any branch of the Warwick Credit Union or by contacting Johno on 0467 612 342. ●

THE GRANITE BELT Queensland Australia

a taste of the Granite Belt

The Southern Downs Regional Council has so far carried out more than 330 property inspections relating to its controversial new Invasive Pest Control Scheme (IPCS).

The scheme applies predominantly to rural properties, and has drawn the ire of many landowners, who may be hit with a ‘supplementary rates notice’ if they fail to eradicate pest plants and feral animals on their holdings.

The council has said the estimated cost of carrying out the scheme is $15.4 million.

Some have dismissed the initiative as a cash-grab, and have demanded it either be scrapped or introduced on a trial basis in its first year without the threat of financial penalties.

Many have also raised concerns about the practicality of the scheme and the ability of council officers to inspect the thousands of individual land parcels which come under it.

The IPCS came into effect on 1 July 2017 as part of the new council budget

and a council spokeswoman said to date 3840 ‘Control Works forms’ have been submitted as required by landowners, out of a total of 5800 issued - meaning nearly 2000 are yet to come in.

The forms must outline how a property owner intends to deal with pest species in the coming year.

Landowners who have not submitted their forms are being sent ‘first and final’ reminder letters by the council, but the Free Times understands some of these warning letters have been sent to property owners who submitted their form weeks previously.

“There have been 3840 Invasive Pest Control Works forms received, and there have been 337 site visits requested to date,” a council spokeswoman told the Free Times this week.

“The council is not planning any changes to the scheme.”

Another bone of contention for rural landowners are the measures the council is - or as some claim isn’t - taking to control pests on its own land.

The council says it will not make any changes to the Invasive Pest Control Scheme. larger than two hectares will be able to receive a rebate on their rates if they meet the requirements of the policy, which covers soil erosion control as well as noxious weeds and feral animals.

The policy states that “(Melton) Council does not take a zero tolerance approach to weed control and property management”.

“A landholder can ask for unforeseen issues to be taken into account,” the policy states.

“The management principles for

noxious and environmental weed control are to: · Contain the spread of weeds by stopping flowering and seed set; · Reduce the level of infestation and · Prevent reinfestation How the Melton City Council Environmental Enhancement Rate Rebate Policy works Each year council will send eligible property owners a Proposed Works form and a copy of the Environment Enhancement Policy. The forms are

sent in February to March of each year. You need to complete and return the Proposed Works form to council by 31 March to qualify for the rebate.

If you do not complete the form and return it to council, the rebate will be withdrawn. The form should detail what environmental improvement works you are planning for your property including the control of weeds to prevent seeds setting.

Advice on completing the form or planning your property management is available from council’s Land Management officers who can meet you on your property. Land Management officers can advise on weed control, pest animal control, soil erosion and identification of native vegetation.

Contact council’s Environmental Services on 9747 7200.

Land Management officers approve your Proposed Works form or contact you to discuss any concerns. A copy of your approved Proposed Works form is then returned to you.

When you have completed the planned work, your property will be inspected by the Land Management officer who will approve that the work has been completed. Work on your property must be completed by 30 September each year. Inspections will take place after 30 September.

Grants to help with land management Land Management officers can advise you on grants that are currently available to help with land management.

Other income may be available through accepting “offsets” or putting a covenant on your property.

As previously reported in the Free Times there are noticeable infestations of pest plants such as tree pear and boxthorn on council lands such as near the Warwick Wastewater Treatment Plant and in council-controlled road reserves across the region.

The council has repeatedly claimed to be taking appropriate measures on its own holdings, with the spokeswoman this week also down-playing suggestions of a rabbit infestation at the Warwick Saleyards.

Regular users of the Saleyards have told the Free Times rabbits are a common sight at the facility, but the council spokeswoman said its officers were “not aware of established rabbit warrens at the Warwick Saleyards complex that would accommodate breeding populations of rabbits”.

“Council officers are aware that the odd rabbit is seen from time to time at the Saleyards,” the spokeswoman said.

“As with rabbit control on private lands, opportunistic control in these cases is encouraged, but established warrens that provide rabbits the opportunity to breed are being targeted through the IPCS.” Most regional and rural councils around Australia have programs aimed at controlling or limiting the spread of pest plants and animals, but not all of them take a ‘big stick’ approach to enforcement.

The Melton City Council in Victoria west of Melbourne, for example, offers a rebate to landowners who do the right thing.

NEWS STABBING CLAIM LEADS TO WEAPONS CHARGE No assault charges were laid after an alleged stabbing at Killarney this week.

On Monday a male complainant contacted police claiming to have been stabbed in the leg. A police investigation not only revealed that the wound was self-inflicted but also resulted in a firearms charge being laid against the complainant. ●

COP AN EYEFUL OF HISTORY The Warwick Art Gallery is thrilled to announce the opening of the Centenary of Federal Policing Art Exhibition today, Thursday 19 October.

The exhibition marks 100 years since

Australia’s first Federal Police Force was formed, known then as Australian Commonwealth Police.

The federal police force was formed following the famous “Warwick” incident, in which Prime Minister William “Billy” Morris Hughes was addressing a crowd at the Warwick Railway Station and had an egg thrown at him.

Prime Minister Hughes ordered the arrest of the egg-thrower but the state police allegedly refused to carry out his order. Eight days later the first commissioner for Australian Commonwealth Police was appointed.

Celebrations marking the infamous egg-throwing incident are scheduled for Saturday 18 November this year.

Warwick Art Gallery director Karina Devine said that the exhibition would include key photos and artefacts from federal policing over 100 years.

The gallery is open from Tuesday through to Friday from 10am to 4pm and on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 1pm. ●

WHAT A NUISANCE Several people were charged with public nuisance and assaulting police after a large brawl near the Horse and Jockey Hotel in Warwick in the early hours of Sunday 8 October. Other local media reported the brawl took place on Sunday 15 October. ●

CORRUPTION HEARING Suspended Ipswich City Council chief executive Jim Lindsay last week faced court for the first time on a charge of official corruption.

Mr Lindsay - a former Warwick Credit Union board member and senior Warwick Shire Council manager - appeared in Brisbane Magistrates' Court last Wednesday 11 October also charged with disclosure of a confidential document or documents, and disobedience to statute law.

The matters will be heard again in early November and Mr Lindsay is on bail.

He is among several high-profile Ipswich people arrested in recent months, including former mayor Paul Pisasale, after CCC investigations into activities related to the council. ●

GROUNDS FOR CONCERN The Southern Downs Regional Council says camping at Warwick’s Australiana Park will be allowed again this year during the Warwick Rodeo.

Residents in the area contacted the Free Times this week with concerns about a repeat of the mess visitors made of the park last year, including rubbish and human faeces left on the ground.

A council spokeswoman said “camping at Australiana Park during Rodeo Week will take place again this year”.

“The Redbacks Football Club will take responsibility for parking during this time,” the council spokeswoman said.

“It is expected that the Rodeo and Campdraft will attract crowds of over 30,000, and council believes that the vast majority of these are respectful of their surrounds.” ●

Free ‘Well Women’s health clinics’ will be conducted around the Darling Downs in November by Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service mobile women’s health nurse Kathryn Anning.

The service is free and confidential and is available to all women.

“A pap smear every two years can prevent the most common form of cervical cancer in up to 90 per cent of cases, and is the best protection against cervical cancer,” Ms Anning said.

“All women who have ever had sex should start having pap smears between the ages of 18 and 20 years, or two years after first having sex, whichever is later.”

Ms Anning also provides a range of other services including breast awareness and sexual health testing as well as advice for issues such as continence, menopause, contraception and general wellbeing. ●

FOCUS ON … Killarney Co-Op celebrates 95 years

CO-OP STANDS THE TEST OF TIME The dairy industry - which perhaps more than any other has brought stability to the farming community of Killarney - was established in 1913 when a small group of farmers and businessmen opened a very primitive factory for the manufacture of butter.

This little enterprise had a hard struggle especially in 1920 with the termination of the Imperial Butter Control and the release of huge war stocks of butter on to the open market, resulting in the collapse of cream prices from 2/6d down to 7d per lb.

Negotiations for the sale of the factory’s assets were proceeding when a young man - Christie Petersen - trained in the manufacture of dairy products and wellversed in the management of such a project was appointed secretary and working manager in November 1921.

This young man, fresh from his native Denmark - the home of dairying - set to work to convince his directors of the virtue of the co-operative.

In 1922, having convinced his board of directors of the wisdom of the principle he had put before them, the Killarney Cooperative Dairy Association was formed and duly registered with 41 suppliers. The staff at that time consisted of the working secretary/manager, an engine driver, a lad and part time clerk.

The factory prospered, and in 1928 the brick factory was built. Great care was taken with the design and layout with the result, Killarney possessed a well laid-out and most modern butter factory.

So successful was the co-operative venture, a general trading section was added firstly in the old factory premises which were greatly modified and later in a new brick store.

Mr Petersen retired on 31 December 1966 and was succeeded by George Fielding. Unfortunately, dairying which once thrived in the area was declining, and with a downturn in trading during the early seventies, and the closure of the butter factory in 1974, the co-operative was once again in trouble.

Not daunted by the problems facing him, Mr Fielding set about modernising and expanding the store, and sales began to soar to around the $2,500,000 mark when he retired on 31 March, 1980. He was succeeded by Kerry Woolacott who had been with the co-operative for the previous 11 years.

Mr Woolacott converted the Killarney Co-operative Dairy Association to The

The Killarney Co-op celebrates its 95th birthday this year.

The Co-op ‘back in the day’...

Killarney Co-operative Society, as most other co-operatives who had become trading societies and were no longer producing butter had done at this time. The conversion was completed on 10 April 1981.

A consolidation of the co-operative’s funds, upgrading of assets, and installation of bulk fertiliser facilities as well as the latest technology ensued during the following years.

He oversaw the removal and relocation of several staff residences beside the store and purchase of a neighbouring block of ground to provide an area for future expansion of the co-operative’s retail facilities. Sadly, during this time the old butter factory site was sold to Killarney Abattoirs and has since passed into private hands.

New Queensland legislation in 1997 resulted in a further change of rules and a new name, Killarney Co-operative Limited and this was registered on 15 December 1999.

After many years of further consolidation of funds the co-operative found itself in a position to be finally able to expand its retail facilities and build a new department store incorporating a state-of-the-art supermarket, hardware, electrical appliances, and instore bank.

The doors of this bold venture were opened on Tuesday 27 April 2004, with Mr Fielding returning to perform the opening ceremony along with former Chairman of Directors Frank McIvor.

A further period of consolidation occurred before the Rural Merchandise department was relocated to the refurbished area vacated by the Grocery and Hardware departments and incorporated modern bunded and pallet-racked warehouse facilities as well as a large undercover loading area for trucks. When Mr Woolacott retired

The enterprise was originally built on butter. on 31 October 2007, the final touches were being made to new offices, staff dining and meeting rooms in the area vacated by the Rural Merchandise department.

In 2008, Killarney Co-op opened a rural merchandise depot at Urbenville, and in 2013 a major redevelopment of the Service Station was completed, which included a 24-hour fuel facility. Following the closure of the Westpac Instore Branch, the Co-op was offered the opportunity to purchase the Post Office license and relocated the post office into the department store in March 2016.

With many long-term staff, including current general manager Pat Brosnan who has been with the co-op for 48 years and Bruce Goodwin who recently celebrated 55 years’ service, the co-op is an important employer in town with about 65 employees. ● - Contributed

Amber Lawrence and Travis Collins play the Warwick RSL next Thursday 26 October.

GOLDEN GUITARS IN OUR BACKYARD chart radio and video playlists.

One of the hardest working artists in the industry, the 2015 and 2016 CMC Oz Female Artist of the Year and 2015 Golden Guitar Female Artist of the Year Amber continues creating authentic and progressive country music that engages her fans like no other.

Travis Collins, a mainstay in the Australian music landscape, has cemented his footprint as one of Australia’s best-loved country music artists. Earlier this year he took home not only his first Golden Guitar but a total of three: Male Artist of the Year, Single of the Year (Just Another Girl) and APRA AMCOS Song of the Year (Call Me Crazy). Two months later, Travis was also awarded three CMC Awards: Australian Video of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, and CMC Oz Artist of the Year.

As well-known for his masterful guitar playing and powerhouse vocals as he is for his depth of song-writing and high energy live performances, Travis continues to go from strength to strength with his most recent album ‘Hard Light’ producing three number one songs and charting in the ARIA top 20 all-genre charts.

Travis Collins and Amber Lawrence will hit the Warwick RSL next Thursday 26 October - full details in the advertisement on this page. ●

r u o T d r a y Our Back CMC & GOLDEN GUITAR WINNERS

ADULTS $30 KIDS $15

12368763-EPJ42-17

For the first time, Golden Guitar winners Travis Collins and Amber Lawrence have collaborated on their debut EP called ‘Our Backyard’, released in August.

Brimming with classics that tell quintessentially Australian stories, the music and lyrics on the Matt Fell-produced ‘Our Backyard’ reflect the true Australian experience across life, love and friendship.

The first single from the EP is the title track. With both artists coming off album releases, Amber and Travis agree that now was the best time to combine their talents and dedicate their efforts to creating a collaborative and genuinely enjoyable album.

“Now that our solo careers are cemented and we’ve both come off our own solo albums we can have a little fun and throw caution to the wind,” says Amber.

Friends since 2004 when they met at the College of Country Music - now Academy of Country Music - Amber and Travis wanted to create music that was more than simple duets but a true collaboration containing the essence of both artists; two distinct voices coming together.

Prior to this release, Amber has been on the road promoting her fifth studio album Happy Ever After which came out in September 2016. The two singles ‘Happy Ever After’ and ‘Cheers to the Girls’ were snapped up by country radio, hitting the top

THE SPIN

ERA OF 30 PLUS SPORTSMEN

h en d ty

s ur

nd

The Socceroos booked themselves a trip to Honduras last week after a nail-biting win over a very brave Syria. Despite their white knuckle victory all the noise since the win has unfortunately been about the future of their coach Ange Postecoglou. How that will finish is apparently a well-guarded secret.

While the pathway they are taking to a possible place in the next World Cup may not be the ideal route, the Socceroos will throw themselves into the fire ahead of their playoff with Honduras, opting to spend the lead-up week to their away match in the dangerous Central American nation.

Who knows perhaps that will bring out the best in the team before their return match on 15 November at Stadium Australia.

If the Socceroos make it to the 2018 Wold Cup, they will once again have the evergreen Tim Cahill to thank.

It seems to be the year for the 30 plus sportsmen to shine. Cameron Smith, Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk all on the wrong side of 30 have brushed aside any talk of their age as they prepare for the Rugby League World Cup after a super domestic season. JT another in the thirty plus category is preparing for his return from shoulder injury, and despite missing a big chunk of the rugby league season did enough to earn himself a nomination for the recent Don Award.

Then, of course, there is the remarkable form of those two 30 plus tennis giants of tennis Raffa Nadal and Roger Federer who went head to head again this week in the final of the Shanghai Masters. Federer turned on a master class as only he can do to beat the World Number One in straight sets.

As Tim Cahill espouses, age is just a number. Long may these champions of their sport continue to ignore the number as we continue to be amazed and entertained by their unique and undeniable talents.

- Casey Footnote A big thank you to all those who have followed my progress after recent hip surgery. I am happy to report the new part is working well and I am well on the road to recovery.

BIG FIELDS EXPECTED FOR STANTHORPE CUP President of the Stanthorpe Jockey Club Chips Brunckhorst and his committee will have one eye on the sky and the other on the BOM weather site this week as they finalise preparations for the annual Caulfield Cup Day race meeting in Stanthorpe. The recent rain has been an added boost for the track which is in perfect condition, but as the president quipped earlier in the week, “It can stop any time now."

A big crowd is expected for the running of the Stanthorpe Cup meeting, which once again is sponsored by Central Motors and the Reeves family.

The club has a five-event program scheduled, but at the time of going to press nominations for the meeting were unavailable.

Following the success of the Warwick Cup meeting last weekend, organisers are expecting big fields for the meeting.

There has been plenty of interest from 22 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES

|

The field is set to jump for this weekend's Stanthorpe Cup. visiting owners and trainers. Club secretary Jill Brunckhorst says inquiries have been coming thick and fast for reserved seating and luncheon bookings.

Crisps coaches will once again be running courtesy buses to and from the course, and patrons are urged to take advantage of the service and leave their cars at home.

Fashions on the Fields is once again expected to be a highlight of the day, but with the unpredictable weather conditions there, back up race day outfits are being hurriedly sought after.

Patrons are reminded that you cannot bring alcohol on to the course, and security will be in place checking all bags and eskies.

The meeting is very much a family day out, but children must be accompanied by an adult.

After the last race, patrons are invited to stay on and enjoy the band.

Fingers crossed for a break in the weather.

If you are looking for the Caulfield Cup winner Darren Weir and the Hayes Dabernick stable lead, the Australian contingent with both stables having a handful of likely runners while the Internationals are sure to make their presence felt along with some talented Kiwis.

I like Humidor from the Weir stable who has done little wrong in his preparation.

Hartnell and his connections are sure to be relieved they will not be chasing home the dapples on the rump of Winx in this race. A value bet might be the international galloper Marmelo. He is a well-credentialed galloper with a Group One win in France to his name. He comes to Australia with the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups on his radar.

Much, of course, will depend on the final race acceptances and the barrier draw.

WARWICK CUP SUCCESS An extraordinary amount of preparation goes into staging a race meeting, and with rain threatening to disrupt the Warwick Turf Club’s signature event, the committee and officials were pleased with the numbers who attended last weekend’s Warwick Cup Meeting at Allman Park.

A big crowd filled the marquee while the members area was overflowing. Guests in the members area included CEO of the Brisbane Broncos Paul White and recruitment chief Paul Nolan no doubt back on home turf to support the Nolan runners from Toowoomba. The rain held off for most of the meeting and had little effect on runners or race day revellers.

Thursday, 19 October, 2017

Punters had their share of good luck at the meeting, and some bookmakers were pleased to see a couple of long priced winners greet the judge in both local and interstate events.

Punters sent out Grafton visitor Bel Flyer and Toowoomba galloper Rhyme nor Rhythm equal favourites. In a good finish, it was the Grafton galloper Bel Flyer who despite laying in under pressure in the straight franked his good recent form to land the money. Well ridden by Ben Looker the gelding now trained by John Shelton made it back-to-back wins in the Warwick Cup for his owners.

Rhyme Nor Rhythm was a little over half a length away in second place with Zip to the Moon finishing in third place.

Punters got off to a great start when short priced favourite Redex ridden by apprentice Rebecca Gladsbury greeted the judge ahead of Suzy’s Rose and Ask Audrey. Trained in Toowoomba by Michael Nolan the threeyear-old who can be difficult at the barriers was on his best behaviour and backed up good Ipswich form to win easily.

Local trainer Les Clarke was all smiles after his horse My Little Diva fought off Ol’Brown Eyes to win the second race a Benchmark 60 Handicap over 800 metres.

The locally owned and trained galloper was returning from a spell having last raced in May and started at the good odds of $7.50.

Toowoomba galloper Royal Bouquet was a good return for canny form punters in the third event. Starting at $14 the Toowoomba galloper put the writing on the wall when she ran third in a field of 10 runners in a Toowoomba maiden just two weeks ago.

Another Toowoomba galloper Tapthetill showed a liking for the Allman Park track with a narrow win in the Tri Steel Maiden.

With apprentice Nicholas Keal claiming 2.5kgs, the John Zeilke trained three-yearold was having only his third race start.

Filling the placings were Eagle Farm visitor Volivoli having his first race start and Warwick runner Real Dynamite.

Favourite backers were on the money in the fifth race with Hessian getting the money for the Sunshine Coast stable of Bill and Dale Healey.

In a wide open betting race, Hessian ridden by Josh Oliver started at $4.80. A protest by Alannah Badger rider of the fourth Alfie Junior against the second placegetter There’s Nemo was dismissed.

Apprentice Nicholas Keal made it a Warwick Cup Day double when he guided the Eagle Farm galloper Waltz in Flight to

victory in the sixth race after the Michael Nolan trained Explosive Belle was scratched at the barrier. The winner KO’d plenty of punters, but had bookmakers cheering him to the line. The winner started at odds of $21 after a lacklustre outing last start at Ipswich where he failed to beat a runner home.

Any punter who snagged the TAB trifecta (10,12,11)would have been laughing with the second placed Seattle Girl starting at $19 and third placegetter Dreamer’s Goal $9.

The meeting wrapped up with the running of the Frasers Livestock Transport Newmarket over the 1100metre sprint journey.

Punters finished the day as they started when favourite You Say No Way edged out Monday’s Expert and Final Hope in a head bobbing finish.

The Newmarket Handicap saw another win for the Toowoomba visitors. The fiveyear-old mare is trained in Toowoomba by Troy Pascoe and was ridden by Beau Appo.

The Warwick Turf club will not race again until their annual Boxing Day meeting.

IN THE PINK AND THE RAIN Stanthorpe golfers prepared to 'Tee off for Breast Cancer Research’ in the single stableford sponsored by Heritage Bank on Saturday. The event has become a popular date on the Stanthorpe Golf Club’s calendar with all funds raised through playing fees and raffles directed Breast Cancer Research in the local community.

Unfortunately on Saturday, the event was disrupted by the weather. Only a handful of water logged competitors finished the entire 18 holes. The majority took the option of staying drier and headed back to the club house.

Matt Waterworth was one of those who persisted on the course and his persistence paid dividends. Waterworth returned the winning score of 44 points. Perhaps, it was his excellent front nine of 26 gave him the incentive to continue despite the elements.

Mark McCosker finished his round with 39 points which was good enough to score the runners-up spot. McCosker also played the semi final of the Captain’s match play just edging out Richard Reardon in a very tight tussle.

Reardon also claimed the pin shot at three. Len Leigh and Keith Jones took the pin shots at 12 and 17 respectively. Matt Waterworth took the pin at 1/10, Lyle Bryant 5/14 and Bill. The ladies event was a total wash out and was decided on a ninehole competition. With a score of 18 points, Annelle Batterham edged out runner-up Lyn Ludlow who scored 17 points.

Players had dressed for the occasion stepping out in their best pink outfits.

Lyn Ludlow and Helen Jones looked pretty in pink and won the best dressed Ladies category. Bill Pyne and Eric McLellan spent more time in the dressing room than on the golf course and claimed the men’s prize. Fortunately or unfortunately, the camera failed to capture their outfits, but all are invited back in the same attire this Saturday when a more reliable camera is sure to be available.

Organisers will be hoping for better weather for the single stableford this weekend, however the forecast at this stage is not looking too bright. Tee off is from 11.30am, and there is a time sheet on the board at the clubhouse. freetimes.com.au

email: wickets-stpe@bigpond.com

This Saturday is a single stableford sponsored by the club. Being race day in Stanthorpe, the field might be a bit smaller than usual, but just as competitive. Tee off from 11.30am and the time sheet is on the board.

The Stanthorpe Open is just around the corner, scheduled for the last weekend in October. Long term sponsors of the popular weekend are Maddie's Gift Gallery and the City Golf Club, Toowoomba. The City Golf Club sponsors many open days in smaller centres in and around the Darling Downs district.

While the recent rain has been most helpful, the course will require some tidying up work before the open.

Any members who can help with preparations should contact greenkeeper Bill as soon as possible.

SELL OUT FOR SOUTHERN STARS Allan Border Oval will host the first game of the Women’s Ashes series on Sunday, and the game has been sold out for over three weeks.

A first for women’s cricket.

The interest in women’s sport is at an all-time high, and anticipation is growing ahead of what will be a historic series with the Australian Women’s team to be part of the first ever day-night Ashes Test match.

Cricket CEO James Sutherland said, “We have high expectations and ambitions for this series, and it’s exciting that we are leading the way in showing that cricket is as much a sport for females as it is for males”.

If you aren’t lucky enough to have tickets to Sunday games, the match will be live on the Channel Nine.

The Aussie men’s squad in the meantime have made their way home from India after a rain-interrupted T20 series. They will head to their respective home states to play in three Sheffield Shield games in a more traditional preparation for the Ashes series.

LAST 2017 RUN FOR BOUNDERS The Bullecourt Bounders wrap up their orienteering year with an event in Killarney on Sunday.

The street orienteering event will be held in the township. With the aid of a specially designed map, participants will explore the town aiming to locate 20 features in the streets and parks. The assembly area is in the park adjacent to the Killarney pool in Willow Street. Starts will take place from 9am - 11am.

This street event wraps up a very busy year for the Bullecourt Bounders who have held orienteering events every month. The highlight on the calendar was the very successful two-day Queensland Orienteering Championships held in September which drew competitors from across Australia and several internationals.

At the conclusion of this Sunday’s event, orienteers will take a break with the local club hosting events from February through to October 2018.

If you would like further information regarding this weekend’s street run or if you would like further information on the sport of orienteering head to the Bullecourt Bounders website bbb@oq.asn.au or contact Liz Bourne on 4683 6374.

STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN INGLEWOOD The Inglewood Sporting Shooters Association hosted the State Muzzle loading Championships last weekend and a large group of enthusiasts travelled from across Queensland and interstate for the Championships.

For the uninitiated, Muzzle loading encompasses different types of firearms in the one discipline and includes rifles, muskets, shotguns, revolvers and pistols.

In addition to shooting on the range, you often find Muzzle loading shooters are enthusiastic followers of Rendezvous events

and military re-enactments. The aim of these re-enactments is to replicate, as closely as possible, the dress and equipment of the period of interest.

Three local shooters, members of the Inglewood club added a local flavour to the competition Tom Donald, Dan McCosker and Glen Holmes who came away with a couple of medals.

Des Prowse, the discipline chairman broke the 30-year-old State record for Traditional rifle 100m Benchrest Class Two, not an easy feat.

The visiting shooters were impressed with the Inglewood range and the hospitality of the host club who can’t wait to host another Championship event.

In the meantime, it is back to local business with a Gallery and Lever Action event scheduled for a bit of practice this weekend.

Why not join the members on the range visitors are most welcome.

Organisers and some of the participants at last weekend's State Muzzle loading championships at Inglewood relax after a busy weekend.

ON SONG BEFORE COURT MAINTENANCE Mallet sports are set to be disrupted in coming weeks as the club undertakes maintenance on the courts.

Members did get an association game in last week before taking a break. Pat Schnoor

CASEY O’CONNOR

and newcomer Peter played the experienced pairing of Val Shepherd and Andrea Denkewitz. The final score a creditable 16-13.

In the other game, Margaret Dickenson and Effey Russell suffered a narrow loss beaten 1716 by Jenny Tunbridge and Carol Verwey.

The golf croquet players have successfully negotiated with the Stanthorpe Bowls Club to use one of their greens while the court is out of action, and it is good to see the amount of co-operation between the clubs.

In the game last week, six players linedup at the starting gates for game one, which required a tie break to decide the winner after scores were locked at 12-all at the break. Val Fancourt, Dianne Wren and Bev Sullivan scored the winning hoop against Teresa Pyne, Elaine Brown and Justin Liddy.

Shirley Page and a guest player joined the group after the break and doubles were played.

Elaine Brown and Justin Liddy had a 10-7 win over Dianne Wren and Shirley Page made 7 hoops. In the second game, Val Fancourt and Teresa Pyne had a comfortable 9 - 3 win over Bev Sullivan and guest player Andy.

TRUE SPORTERS FACE THE ELEMENTS A small group braved the soggy and damp conditions showing they are true Sporters committed to their cause and enjoyed a hit on Sunday. (Of course some might say they should be committed). John Rawlings showed good wet weather form to win the round ahead of runner-up Aaron Simmers. Brendon Barker returned the best gross score and also figured in the run downs along with Mark Lynam. Ray Thorn claimed the pin shot on the third, but there were no takers for the pro pin. Brendon Barker topped off a good morning by also taking home a meat tray.

The other tray found a home in Dick Hilton’s refrigerator.

Tee-off this Sunday is at 8am, and fingers crossed the weather gods will look kindly upon Sporters. ●

AROUND THE GROUNDS SOUTHERN DOWNS RIFLE The club did not have a competition on Sunday 15 October due to the wet conditions. Next Sunday 22 October, we will be at the 600 yard mound, sign on at 8.30am for 9am start.

PREMIER DARTS On Tuesday, the club continued its singles comp.

Kevin Astley keeps getting good scores since joining Premier; 14x 80 and two tons was the tally this time. Ken also had respectable two wins with 9x80 and five tons.

Nominations are still open for closed singles, men’s doubles, ladies doubles or mixed doubles; Games to be played on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 November, $5 per tournament. Start 10am.

Last Thursday the lady members were host to the S.D.D.L.B.A. Super Veterans’ Day. The morning was attended by 40 bowlers, and this included 23 Super Veterans which was wonderful to have so many there. Owing to the weather, bowls could not be played, and after morning tea Bowls Hoy was played and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The card game was won by Myrtle Wagner (Tannymorel), Pat Erbert (Tenterfield) and Gloria Baker (Warwick East) and as this team beat the ‘Official Team’ on the last end, they were presented with an ‘appropriate’ prize from senior vice-president Barbara which created much laughter. The raffle of fruit and vegetables was won

by Margaret Thompson (Tannymorel).
