The Southern Downs Regional Council and Deputy Mayor Jo McNally are taking a rather highhanded attitude towards Stanthorpe locals who've made their views known about the future location of the Stanthorpe Library (see page 3).

The majority of people who responded to a recent council survey - and of those who attended a public meeting in August - made it clear they want the library to stay where it is in Weeroona Park.

I get where the council is coming from with plans to expand the Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery and that in itself is a worthy initiative.

And I'm not saying the council shouldn't consider all the potential options, and that the library should necessarily remain in its current location. Who knows, moving it, possibly back to the Civic Centre, might be a good long-term outcome.

My beef is with the dismissive nature of the council and Cr McNally regarding public opinion.

The touch of arrogance will not go unnoticed, nor will it be forgotten by the time the next election rolls around.

COUNCIL DROPS CIVIC CENTRE ACTION

BY JEREMY SOLLARS The Southern Downs Regional Council has discontinued court action against the company it claimed was responsible for a major fire at the Stanthorpe Civic Centre in early 2016 - but won't reveal why.

As reported in the Free Times in June the council began action on 30 May this year to sue Northern Lifestyle Sports Floors Pty Ltd, which supplied new flooring for the Stanthorpe Civic Centre.

The council had claimed for nearly $2 million in damages from the company in the Supreme Court of Queensland in relation to the fire which extensively damaged the Civic Centre in March 2016.

But court records show the council lodged a 'Notice of discontinuance - whole proceeding', with the Supreme Court on Friday 5 September.

The Free Times asked the council why the action had been discontinued but received no details.

"As this relates to legal proceedings and our insurer, Council is unable to comment," a spokeswoman said in a statement.

Northern Lifestyle Sports Floors is based at Cleveland east of Brisbane.

Documents lodged by the council in May in a claim against the company alleged negligence on the part of one of their employees.

The council's claim stated the employee

failed to safely dispose of the contents of a dust collection bag - namely seal sanding dust - which spontaneously ignited around 7pm on the evening of Friday 18 March 2016.

The council had demanded total damages of $1,881,902.16, including building costs of $1,727,493.18, contents costs of $69,759.92, business interruption losses of $11,559, miscellaneous costs of $8677.85 and consultancy costs of $64,411.50, plus interest from 18 March 2016 and court costs.

Northern Lifestyle Sports Floors was hired by the council in November 2015 to install new timber flooring in the Civic Centre at a cost to the council of $104,110 plus GST. The council claimed the company which began the work in March 2016 - was "vicariously liable" for the negligence of an employee who left seal sanding dust from a Polivan sander/vacuum inside a dust collection bag in the kitchen area of the Civic Centre, knowing it was potentially combustible.

The council also claimed Northern Lifestyle Sports Floors "knew or ought to have known that failing to safely dispose of seal sanding dust was likely to cause spontaneous combustion through an exothermic reaction", and that the negligence was "directly causative" of the fire.

The fire caused extensive damage to the

Damage to the Civic Centre from the fire in March 2016.

Civic Centre's kitchen and supper room areas and heat, smoke and water damage from water used to extinguish the fire - to hardwood flooring in the main auditorium.

Repairs to the Civic Centre were completed in early 2017 after its closure due

The Southern Free Times asked Northern Lifestyle Sports Floors if the matter had been settled out of court or through insurance but a spokeswoman said the company had no comment. ●

COUNCIL SURVEY RESPONSE "DISAPPOINTING": MCNALLY

BY JEREMY SOLLARS Southern Downs Deputy Mayor Jo McNally has castigated Stanthorpe residents who responded to a council survey on the future location of the Stanthorpe Library.

The council appears determined to move the library across the road to the Stanthorpe Civic Centre to allow for an expansion of the Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery, which sits alongside the library in Weeroona Park.

This is despite the majority of the survey respondents and a majority of residents who attended a public meeting back in August - making it clear they want the library to stay where it is.

In a council statement released last week Cr McNally labelled public feedback from the survey "largely disappointing" and suggested those who responded were stuck in the past.

"It wasn't thinking about both the art gallery and library moving forward, it was about what's happening now and wanting things to stay the same," Cr McNally said.

"If you visit other libraries you'll see they are everchanging, they are community hubs, as is the (Stanthorpe) art gallery.

"So to say they should both stay where they are, it's not a good outcome for the community, which deserves better."

The council statement followed the September council meeting held in Stanthorpe last Wednesday 27 September, at which councillors formally received the survey responses.

The meeting minutes state that a "further report (will) be presented to Council following a Briefing Session in October".

Councillors did not make a formal decision last week on the future of the Stanthorpe Library but the statement quoting Cr McNally said "the future of the arts in Stanthorpe took an exciting step forward at yesterday's Southern Downs Regional Council meeting" and refers to a "Stanthorpe cultural hub".

"The eight councillors present at the meeting were unanimous in their agreement that decisions on the future of the Stanthorpe civic precinct be made as soon as possible," the statement said.

"This follows a feasibility study into the Stanthorpe Library, which was designed as a starting point to explore opportunities for its expansion and possible relocation.

"Currently, the Stanthorpe Library sits below the minimum size for a library under Queensland Public Library

Standards and Guidelines, a major factor in Council's wish to see both it and the Stanthorpe Art Gallery expand."

Just under 70 per cent of the 277 people who responded to the library survey favoured the library remaining in its current location.

Those in favour of the library being moved - potentially to the Stanthorpe Civic Centre - came in at 29 per cent, while 2.2 per cent expressed no preference.

What are the costings?

The consultants engaged by the council, Sydney firm Complete urban, came up with a range of options for the Stanthorpe Library, two of which involve re-locating existing areas within the Stanthorpe Civic Centre opposite Weeroona Park to accommodate the Library.

The cost estimates are as follows · New single-storey library in Civic Centre - re-locate Supper Room to Exhibition Space - $2,024,852 · New two-storey library, Civic Centre Exhibition Space (relocate Bar to Supper Room) - $2,765,042 · Build new single-storey library adjoining Civic Centre $1,806,000 · Expand existing library in Weeroona Park - $1,625,060 ●

FRIENDS ON THE AIRWAVES

BY JEREMY SOLLARS

W

arwick's very own community radio station, Rainbow FM, is putting out the call to find new digs - and soon.

Currently broadcasting from high on the hill on Willi Street in west Warwick - in what were formerly the Rosenthal Shire Council offices - Rainbow FM will soon be moving to a new home.

The question is, where?

The Southern Downs Regional Council has foreshadowed the sale of the land the building sits on, along with the old Rosenthal Shire depot behind it, currently home to the Warwick Woodcutters and the Warwick Men's Shed who are likely to move

to the Warwick Industrial Estate.

It's prime real estate - some of the most elevated in Warwick - and while the folks at Rainbow FM will be sad to leave after more than two decades on Willi Street, they're looking at it as the start of a new era for community radio in the Rose City.

The management committee, headed up by president and long-time station volunteer and announcer John Moulder, has been scouting out potential new premises in recent weeks, but so far they've hit a wall.

John and station stalwarts Mike and Julie Parris this week enlisted the help of the Free Times to find Rainbow FM a new home.

They're calling on local property owners - particularly those with vacant commercial

sites in the Warwick CBD - to get in touch and see what can be negotiated.

John Moulder said the need to move presented an opportunity for Rainbow FM to be "even closer to the community" and being in the Warwick CBD would allow listeners and the many community groups Rainbow FM supports easy access, along with those being interviewed on-air.

Ideally, the station would purchase a vacant CBD site but they're also open to the option of a lease - but it would need to be a long-term one.

Another possibility would be buying a block of land and building a new station but a CBD location is what they're really aiming for.

"It's a sad time in a way, but it's also exciting," John Moulder said.

"We did our first test broadcast here back in 1995 - we see moving as a chance to become even more in touch with the community.

"We're certainly open to negotiations on new premises - we're a community organisation so we don't have a lot of money but we do have some funds available, depending on the options that present themselves.

"The council hasn't given us a timeframe around moving out but ideally we'd really like to have something in place before Christmas, even if we don't physically move until the new year.

"We'd love to get a spot where people can see us, in the CBD itself or close to it - and we'd like to own it, that's our wish-list.

"People think we're just a non-profit community radio station - and we are but we have to run it like a business and we've done a lot of upgrading in the last 12 months or so."

John said any new premises would need to be large enough to accommodate three broadcasting studios - which themselves are fairly compact - and would also need to have room for an office and a meeting space, with those facilities pretty cramped at Willi Street.

Ground level wheelchair access is essential and internal fit-out - including soundproofing of the broadcasting suites would be coordinated by Rainbow.

Transmission isn't an issue - the station has been working with the Southern Downs Regional Council and are confident they'll be able to connect their new studios to the antenna systems at the council's Yangan Road depot.

John says at the end of the day Rainbow FM is volunteer-driven and "no-one gets paid to do what we do here, we just love radio". · If you can help find Rainbow FM a new home give John Moulder a call on 0417 245 460. ●

Rainbow FM's current digs at the top end of Willi Street - but a move is imminent.

FRIENDS ON THE AIR ...

For volunteer announcers like Julie and Mike Parris Rainbow FM allows them to connect with local listeners - and they say it's a real privilege.

"I was talking to a lady from Blue Care who said she'd gone to see one of her elderly clients and the fellow was really down and quiet this particular morning," Julie said.

"So she turned on Rainbow FM and by the time she left the gentleman was smiling and seemed a lot brighter.

"It's little bits of feedback you get like that that make it really worthwhile - we like to think we brighten someone's day, particularly if they're feeling a bit lonely and isolated or they're new to town.

"It feels like we're family, or we've been invited into their family."

Mike Parris said he'd seen otherwise shy and quiet people come in as volunteer announcers - including a couple of local young people with disabilities - and watched their confidence grow through time spent on-air.

"Morning shifts can be pretty hectic you've got news and weather and sponsor announcements, and the phone can ring quite a lot," he said.

"You've got to be on the ball and work one step ahead.

Rainbow FM announcers are familiar voices in homes and workplaces around the Warwick region.

John Moulder (left) with Rainbow FM stalwarts and volunteer announcers Julie and Mike Parris.

"We get a lot of good interaction from listeners and we have lots of good chats - it's all good fun and it keeps you active.

"Some people are a bit scared of microphones but we work closely with new announcers - training can take a couple of months but it's not really that hard.

"It helps if you have some computer ability - but we can teach you everything you need to know.

"We're very approachable people." ●

VIEWS SOUGHT ON THE GORGE

BY JEREMY SOLLARS

LOCAL VIEWS ...

The Southern Downs Regional Council will undertake community consultation on a consultant's report which recommends the council and tourism bodies stop promoting Condamine River Road through the Cambanoora Gorge at Killarney as a four wheel drive track.

Kehoe Myers Consulting Engineers undertook the study on the use of the Gorge by visitors, particularly 4WD enthusiasts, after being commissioned by the Queensland Government on behalf of the council as part of the government's 'Maturing the Infrastructure Pipeline Program" (MIPP) which assesses new infrastructure requirements around the state.

The report recognises that the Gorge is a major tourism attraction in the region but also the environmental impacts of vehicles.

As well as ceasing promotion of the Gorge as a 4WD destination the report also recommends the council develop a strategic plan for tourism in the Killarney area and considers a physical separation of vehicles from the river by the use of culverts, similar to that in place at Watson's Crossing.

The report recommends that the council engage environmental consultants to "ensure the adopted solutions do not negatively impact the region's ecosystem".

Councillors at their September meeting in Stanthorpe last week passed the following resolution "Commence community consultation

In an email to the council in March of this year, included in the Kehoe Myers report, Gorge property owner - and president of the Cambanoora Gorge Management Group of landholders - Kieth Murray said the group's strong preference was for the crossings to be left as they are, in their natural state.

But he said if the crossings "are to be engineered in some artificial way we prefer bridges to be built" over them.

Kieth Murray also said it was "clear" that the Southern Downs Regional Council applied to the Queensland Government for the MIPP assessment of the Gorge "on the basis of one or two individuals who purchased land in the Gorge and then lobbied to have the crossings changed to suit their circumstances".

He also pointed out the individuals referred to were not members of the Cambanoora Gorge Management Group.

The Group has previously proposed a limit of 40 vehicles per day in the Gorge under a permit system, with visitors charged $30 daily.

Owner of Spring Creek Mountain Cafe and Cottages and president of the Killarney Area Promotions Association (KAPA) Bev Ruskey last week said while the majority of 4WD owners who visit the Gorge did the right thing, "not everyone can be relied on to be responsible".

''The Big Rock'' in the Condamine River in the Gorge. to gain feedback on the recommendations presented in the Kehoe Myers Report, and a further report be presented to Council on the future management of Condamine River Road Crossings".

The Kehoe Myers report states that "4WD enthusiasts use the road as a 4WD track".

"Although it is believed that the majority of these visitors drive with respect, there is a minority who do not appear to care for the environment and leave behind rubbish and damage for the locals to repair," the report states.

"These visitors appear to not be aware that the road is a public road and not a 4WD track constructed as their playground.

"This is in part due to past and current promotion of the road for use as a 4WD track which supports this view."

The report examines options for Condamine River Road including the introduction of a vehicle permit system, moving the road - which it notes is financially and logistically "unrealistic" - and constructing low-level floodways, high-level culverts or bridges at the crossings.

The report also notes that weekday traffic through the Gorge is "relatively quiet" but weekend and public holidays attract "large numbers of visitors and their vehicles", particularly at Easter, with traffic counts for the 2018 Easter weekend totalling 2255. ●

HEAVILY PROMOTED The State Government's Queensland Tourism and Events website states the Gorge is "accessible by four-wheel-drive vehicles only".

"The Condamine Gorge's '14 River Crossings' track is appropriately named after the 14 river crossings you have to make exploring this beautiful part of the Gorge," the website states.

"During normal conditions the crossings of the Condamine River are relatively shallow.

"However, during wet weather the river will rise rapidly making it impassable.

"It is advisable to check conditions with the Warwick Visitor Information Centre or Bureau of Meteorology prior to visiting.

"The Condamine Gorge is home to a number of endangered species, please respect this precious environment.

The 'Waddle, Saddle and Pedal' is a popular low-impact annual event in the Gorge.

"Note that private properties either side of the track may not be fenced, so please keep to the road and creek area and observe the 'no trespassing' signs."

Brochures and other promotional material produced by the council's 'Southern Downs and Granite Belt' internal tourism arm openly promote the Gorge as a "4WD adventure" location. ●

'RESPECT THE GORGE' The Cambanoora Gorge Management Group's website advises visitors that the Gorge "is not a 4WD Track or a 4WD Adventure Park".

"This is a public road bordered mostly by private property," the website states.

"Camera surveillance is used throughout the Gorge.

"Activities such as hooning, mudding, driving up the river, driving through flooded crossings, trespassing on private property and driving at speed through the crossings, will not be tolerated.

"Driver behaviour through the crossings is extremely important to maintaining a healthy river system.

"Keep your speed to 5km per hour as

you maintain a slow forward momentum through the crossings.

"This will ensure that your vehicle does not get damaged by submerged rocks, that your vehicle does not stir up more silt than necessary and that your vehicle does not create a bow wave that forces water up onto the road as you exit the crossing.

"With over 500 vehicles per day travelling this road at times, it is crucial that we all do our best to ensure that this beautiful part of Queensland is preserved for our children and future generations." ●

ABOUT THE GORGE ... · Condamine River Road through the Gorge is a well-maintained dirt road with a speed limit of 30km per hour. The speed limit through the crossings is 5km per hour. · Condamine River Road is dissected by the Condamine River at 14 points through the Gorge. From the Northern (Boonah) end of the Gorge heading to Killarney, the crossings are as follows - First Crossing, Second Crossing, Double Crossing, Mawhirts Crossing, Bullocky Crossing, Flaggie Crossing, Rocky Crossing, Mill Crossing, Reis Crossing, Heywoods Crossing, Billy John Daggs Crossing, Andrew Evans Crossing, Long Crossing and Watsons Crossing (cement causeway).

She said KAPA members had not yet reviewed or discussed the Kehoe Myers report but her personal view was that ceasing promotion of the Gorge as a 4WD destination was "probably a good idea".

"There are plenty of four wheel drive parks around for bush bashing," Bev said.

"Most people respect the area but there's a certain element who create problems.

"I don't think four wheel drives should be banned, they just need to be managed properly.

"But I don't know why you'd want to go in there and damage your vehicle."

Bev said her business did get a small amount of visitation from the 4WD set but said "the weekend warriors aren't really our clientele". ●

NEWS DISCOUNT SCRAPPED Southern Downs councillors voted at their September meeting in Stanthorpe last week to scrap the 50 per cent discount currently offered to non-profit organisations for application and permit fees associated with building and other works.

Councillors also voted in favour of the region moving to high level water restrictions as of Thursday 1 November.

For detailed information on water restrictions visit www.sdrc.qld.gov.au Also discussed during a confidential section of the September meeting was the council's decision earlier this year to cut off the town water supply at Karara, west of Warwick. No details were given in the meeting minutes about the nature of the discussion, but the minutes do say that council will "defer consideration to the October 2018 General Meeting".

The Southern Downs Regional Council has appointed two new directors who will join the organisation in November.

A statement released by the council last week said two candidates had been offered and would be taking up the roles of Director Sustainable Development and Director Infrastructure Services.

"The new Director Sustainable Development Jane Stroud has previously been employed at Logan City Council in the roles of Director Innovation and City Transformation, Manager Office of the Mayor and Chief Executive,

GRAPE MEET The Stanthorpe Apple & Grape Harvest Festival will hold a public meeting next Thursday 11 October to talk with the community about future direction of the festival.

There have been many changes to the format of the festival since its inception in 1966 and the current committee would like the community to have a say in the direction the festival should take.

The committee would like to invite input and gather feedback from community organisations and business to shape the 2020 festival and beyond.

NEW DIRECTORS

Acting Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Customer Services Stream, and Manager Community Services," the statement said.

"The new Director Infrastructure will be Graham O'Byrne.

"For the last three years Graham has been the General Manager at Cairns Regional Council where he managed 250 staff and a budget of $150 million."

The council statement said a third director vacancy, Corporate and Community Services, has been readvertised.

The announcement follows the departure of former senior council executives Ken Harris and Peter See earlier this year, and a management restructure involving the creation of the three new director roles.

The meeting next Thursday 11 October will be held downstairs at the Stanthorpe RSL, starting at 7pm. All are welcome to attend.

CARPARK INSPECTED Local Government Minister Stirling Hinchliffe last week inspected the Texas State School carpark safety improvements as part of a regional tour of Works for Queensland infrastructure.

Mr Hinchliffe joined Goondiwindi Regional Council Mayor Graeme Scheu to inspect the school carpark after a tour of Goondiwindi projects.

"This is an important school safety project, including an upgrade to the bus and drop-off zone and new footpaths, that has created and supported 22 jobs," Mr Hinchliffe said.

Cr Scheu said the Goondiwindi region was identified by demographer Bernard Salt earlier this year as "the most liveable regional town in Queensland".

"The Works for Queensland funding has been a welcome opportunity for our Council to prioritise additional works and upgrades across the region," Cr Scheu said.

"Works including upgrades to the Texas school crossing and sports field, the Goondiwindi Waggamba Community Cultural Centre, reserve roads, and the numerous walkways across the region, have made a significant difference in Council's ability to make this regional Australia at its best."

The Guy/Fitzroy Street roundabout in Warwick.

LIVE BY NIGHT Southern Downs Regional Council staff this week undertook further night operations to complete traffic-calming roadworks in the Warwick CBD. The works in the area have been installed to slow traffic through roundabouts at Guy and Grafton Streets, Fitzroy and Guy Streets and Fitzroy and Palmerin Streets.

Workers added visual aids including line marking, texturing and colouring to the speed-limiting humps installed in previous weeks.

The council says the works also include upgrades to the pedestrian and footpath areas, encompassing the new Dungaree memorial at the entrance to Leslie Park.

The Southern Downs Regional Council is urging the community to "do the right thing" after more illegal asbestos dumping was uncovered at Killarney Waste Facility and Pozieres Bin Compound last week.

A council spokeswoman on Tuesday of this week said the Pozieres Bin Compound was closed last Friday 28 September as Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) was positively identified.

"The Compound will be remediated before reopening, with the expected timeframe approximately two weeks," the spokeswoman said.

"Residents will be directed to Stanthorpe Waste Facility, Amiens Bin Compound or The Summit Waste Transfer Station.

"The Killarney facility will be closed to green waste, concrete, timber, steel and as of the 27 September no commercial construction and demolition or industrial wastes are accepted.

"Council will be directing residents to the Warwick Waste Facility only.

"It is important for Council to provide a safe working environment and facility for the public and contractors to use." â—?

The Queensland Government this week approved a six month extension of environmental approvals for the proposed Emu Swamp Dam on the Severn River south of Stanthorpe.

As the Southern Downs Regional Council was the original 'proponent' for the dam and sought the approvals in 2008 it is now up to the current council to decide if it will allow transfer of the approvals to a new proponent, the Stanthorpe and Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber is currently completing a business case for Emu Swamp Dam for the Queensland and Federal Governments, with Canberra the likely source of grant funding for construction if the business case is accepted.

Local family farmers have already indicated support for the dam to the tune of $24 million.

But the council could be a stumbling block as it is expected to attempt to sell the environmental approvals - otherwise referred to as the Coordinator-General's Evaluation Report and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) - by tender to the highest bidder, apparently in the belief the approvals have commercial value.

The council could exercise the option of passing the approvals on to the Stanthorpe and Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce at no cost to the Chamber as it is a not-forprofit community group.

The council's position on Emu Swamp Dam remains unclear, with councillors formally resolving at their general meeting in March of this year not to assist with progressing the project, and favouring instead the building of a new pipeline from Warwick's Connolly Dam to Stanthorpe's Storm King Dam to bolster the town supply.

But the pipeline would have no farming irrigation use, which would be the primary purpose of Emu Swamp Dam. Mayor Tracy Dobie appeared to contradict the council's official stance on Emu Swamp Dam this week, telling local media she and "every councillor" supported the building of the dam but that ratepayers' money would not be used to help fund it.

The business case being developed by the Chamber of Commerce includes no ratepayers' money but does have a provision to supply emergency urban water to Stanthorpe's residents in extreme droughts.

The Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce has assumed all along in its business case that no council funding would be expected.

Cr Dobie was grilled over the dam proposal at a Chamber breakfast in Stanthorpe last Friday 28 October where she also stated her support for the dam but refused to consider council helping to fund the project.

The Chamber is expected to finalise its business case for the Queensland and Federal Governments by the end of November. ●

NEW SERVICE OFFERS SUPPORT "Talking to someone makes you feel a little bit better. And it helps you move forward and not struggle so much."

This is how Jenny* described her experience of NewAccess, a free mental health program developed by beyondblue which officially launched across the Darling Downs on 6 August (see advertisement previous page).

Jenny met a trained NewAccess coach at Lives Lived Well, the service which delivers the program at Warwick, Gatton, Dalby and Kingaroy and by phone in surrounding areas.

Jenny had experienced overwhelming loss over a short period, beginning with the death of her husband of more than 30 years.

Over the next month, she had other close family members pass away before finally, the week before she reached out to NewAccess, her best friend lost her battle with cancer.

NewAccess is designed to help people with mild to moderate depression, stress and anxiety, including everyday challenges in their work or personal life.

In that first session, Jenny did a lot of crying and sharing of her grief. It was explained to her that her feelings were not unusual given everything that had happened.

Jenny explained she wasn't eating, had lost 10kg, couldn't sleep, and only left the house to go to work. Her work ethic and

determination that others wouldn't know how much she was suffering kept her going.

The following sessions focused on identifying routines and enjoyable aspects of her life and taking small steps towards achieving weekly goals to get her life and health back on track.

When her final session arrived, she had met all her treatment goals. She was sleeping, putting on weight, seeing her friends socially and wasn't afraid of paying the bills. She was spending time in her beloved garden again, something she'd stopped doing because it reminded her of her husband. She was smiling and laughing, more engaged at work and she'd stopped

GREAT SIGNS FOR THE TIMES Warwick’s Zooma Signs recently gave the Free Times office a fresh new look - thanks to three-dimensional signage they designed, produced and installed for us.

Zooma’s 3-D capability comes in the form of a CNC Flatbed Router - a machine unique in Warwick to the firm.

Zooma Signs owner Carey Burt said the machine had a multitude of uses for signmaking.

“It was commissioned in December last year and it enables us to cut or mill different materials to make 3DsSigns and letters via CAD/CAM design software,” Carey said.

“We can also use it to engrave materials to make switchboard and control panels, plaques, stencils and much more.

“Specifically, the Free Times sign was cut from a 20mm thick material and two-pack painted for outdoor durability.

“This gives the sign a lot of depth and that ‘wow’ factor.

“It’s more than just cutting shapes around signs - which we can also do with it - and it is only limited by our imagination.

“As always we use modern technology and qualified trades skills to finish our products to the highest level, ensuring effective long-lasting signs.

“Previously this work had to be outsourced from Brisbane but we are now able to offer it right here in Warwick and the Southern Downs.”

Zooma Signs’ excellent work now graces both the awning outside the Free Times office on Fitzroy Street and our front office wall as well. ●

Pictured after installing our new signs are Zooma Signs apprentice signwriter Reilly Burt (left) and Mason McLean.

THE Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) is urging legislators to update laws to allow landlords and tenants to negotiate a position on pets. We don't want to highlight Victorian reforms as this mandates pet ownership unless landlord can reasonably withhold consent

Most landlords don't allow pets in their rental properties, hoping to protect their investment and limit any maintenance and repairs that will need to be done after a tenant vacates.

Landlords make this decision based on the fear that pets will damage their property. Dogs and cats shed hair and can leave odours throughout the

property, especially in carpets and the back yard. As a result, only about 10 per cent of Queensland rental properties allow pets.

In Queensland, landlords are currently not permitted to request any additional bond or increased protection to manage the potential increased risks and damage in relation to the property.

More than 63% of Australian households own a pet and about 53% own a dog or a cat.

This means there is a large number of families who are excluded from pet ownership because they rent.

Around 60 bales of hay were delivered from the Lions' 'Need For Feed' drought relief program. Pictured here are Warwick Lions president Jenny Rainbird and Lioness Club of Currumbin/Palm Beach president Joy Mattingley. Well done to Lions for helping our local producers in need! ●

Stanthorpe photographer and artist/sculptor duo Sandra McEwan and Helen Turrisi will next week open their joint exhibition 'Whispering Land' at the Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery.

Sandra has a passion for local history - particularly of a rural nature - and her stunning photos have been shot on properties from across the region.

She began her current project to be featured in 'Whispering Land' almost three years ago, after a very well-received 'Treasures Past' exhibition in 2015.

"We have so much local history still standing from the early days - sheep stations and Cobb and Co staging posts, to name just a few," Sandra said.

The exhibition will also feature some of Sandra's amazing weather and sunrise/ sunset shots.

Helen Turrisi moved to Stanthorpe in 2001 for a 'tree-change' and runs a soletrader business as a chef but this is only rivalled by her passion for art, having painted in oils in the past but being drawn to sculpture since settling on the Granite Belt.

"The body of works in this exhibition have an earthy feel about them - many of the pieces are suited to the outdoors as much as a statement piece in the home," Helen said.

"These works reflect the landscape that I reside in and also the wildlife that I see around me."

Well he took his place on the field - his direction of the traffic was worthy of any cop at the Gabba five ways on a Friday afternoon years ago. He even got away a few passes and got involved in a tackle here and there as the Roosters blew the favourites Melbourne off the park. No fairy tale finish for Billy but just getting the nod to play from the judiciary will become the stuff of folklore.

The GF was a fine example of why it is so hard to go back to back as premiers and why those players who can hang up their boots beside a premiership ring are so fortunate.

Most commentators had Melbourne over the line with their name on the trophy and Slater with the Clive Churchill medal around his neck before the team bus even left their hotel.

Again we saw form goes out the door and it's even money on the field on Grand Final day.

Now doubt in awe of Cronk's superhuman effort just to play, his team mates lifted to another level and so they should, if you study what Cronk went through to get on the paddock. Let's just hope this remarkable player does not suffer any permanent damage to that shoulder and does not live to regret his playing.

Melbourne was simply not allowed to be good enough to win and like the champion team they are, were bitterly disappointed but full of class and humility after the loss.

Not so the Sydney crowd, many of whom showed an appalling lack of respect for Billy Slater before, during and after the game. Slater was to the end a great ambassador of the game, finding excuses for the fans who booed. He may just have taken over from the King, Wally Lewis, in the booing stakes.

In a nod to Slater's sportsmanship, he was the first to go up to Cooper Cronk to congratulate his great mate on the win. And so a grand chapter in Rugby League draws to a close. Thanks Billy for a thousand great memories and hats off to Cronk for showing the toughness that often seems lacking in some of our elite sportsmen.

Only 156 sleeps till it all begins again.

-Casey GF BRICKBAT Please is there a television producer out there with the kahonas to tell Phil Gould he sounded like a seven year old in the school ground during the pre-match broadcast His "I know a secret and I'm not telling you" - was childish and pathetic as he rabbited on that he knew the answer to the million dollar question of whether or not Cronk would play and was not going to tell. Care factor - nil - addition to the commentary absolutely zero.

BOOKIES TAKING NO CHANCES Bookmakers are taking no chances with mighty Winx as she rounded off her preparation for the Turnbull Stakes on Saturday on the road to the Cox plate.

In the field 14 the mighty mare is currently $1.22 favourite after an impressive stretch out on the grass at Flemington on Monday. Both her jockey Hugh Bowman and trainer Chris Waller were impressed with her work.

No pre-game nerves for Steph Hancock as she caught up with Liston identity Michelle Herman on the morning of the inaugural NRLW grand final.

There was plenty of excitement around the 2018 NRL GF at the Slater family's local watering hole - the Garradunga Pub outside Innisfail - not many impressed with the crowd treatment of their favourite son.

Although the Turnbull stakes has been a graveyard for favourites on many occasions it is hard to see the mare failing to make it 28 on the trot as she notches up Group One no 21, HANCOCK PART OF NRWL HISTORY On Sunday at Olympic Stadium Steph Hancock added another rugby league achievement to her already impressive rugby league resume and wrote her name into the history of the NRWL. 36 year old Hancock played a significant role in the Broncos team that won the inaugural NRLW grand final. The Brisbane Broncos women's side completed a clean sweep of the competition when they defeated the Roosters in impressive fashion the final score 34-12.

Hancock who came off the bench after 10 minutes really injected herself into the game and has said since that it was the most enjoyable rugby league game she has played - a big statement considering she has captained Queensland and Australia and won a World Cup in 2017.

Hancock had considered retirement but the opportunity to play with the Broncos was too big a lure and it has paid off in spades.

Hancock now has an inaugural premiership ring and the icing on the cake was her announcement the Australian Jillaroos side to play the Kiwi Ferns on October 13. She will be joined by Broncos team mate and Scots PGC student heather Ballinger.

The success of the NRWL competition is sure to give women's rugby league a real boost and the four NRL club's who played in the short season all have fie year

licences. At this point there are no plans for immediate expansion of the competition despite its popularity.

Anyone watching the NRLW grand final should have been impressed by the standard and intensity of the football not so much the commentary. It was left to Jo Barrett a former player who also hails from the region to fill in the gaps for her clearly under prepared male counterparts. Well done Jo, great call.

POSITIVE REP NEWS FOR LOCAL CRICKETERS With opening of the Southern Downs cricket season just around the corner there has been a very positive announcement about the representative season.

Central Downs Cricket Association recently advised that they will be fielding a Mitchell Shield team in the Eastern Downs competition in 2019. The Mitchell Shield competition will therefore return to four teams - Warwick, Lockyer Stanthorpe and Central Downs.

President of the Warwick Cricket Association Dave Walker who has taken the reins from Michael Bourke after a couple of years as vice-president is excited about the return of Central Downs and says it is a boost to cricket in the area.

Walker said the start of the 2018/19 season was well on track and Warwick will host Lockyer in both the Mitchell and Davis Shield games in round one on November 4.

The representative games will likely be played at Slade Park and Queens Park with the re-laid turf at Mayhew Oval unlikely to be ready until midway through the new season.

The Warwick competition opens on October 14 and on October 13 in Stanthorpe.

ON HOLD BECAUSE OF A WINDSCREEN The immediate future of 19 international horses bound for the Melbourne spring carnival is in on hold after the plane their plane was forced to spend around 20 hours on the tarmac at Sharjah to repair a cracked windscreen. The delay for the English and Irish contingent may prove costly as it will interfere with their quarantine period after they arrived a day later than expected.

International horses are required to spend 14 days in quarantine but are racing officials are hoping to receive a special one day dispensation from the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources to allow the horses housed at Werribee to finish their quarantine on October 13 as planned.

Several of the gallopers are scheduled to race on Caulfield Guineas day. A decision is not expected until early next week. They then need to assess that situation and also get a report from IRT on the circumstances around the delay in Sharjah When the horses arrive from any country they have four days of swabs which is effectively testing for EI (Equine Influenza).

The department has advised Racing Victoria that they need to assess all the swabs and the results will not be available until later this week. They need to then assess that situation and also get a report from IRT on the circumstances around the delay in Sharjah RV officials are hoping given the circumstances of the delay in Sharjah where the horses sat on the tarmac not leaving the plane and effectively still under quarantine conditions the outcome will be a positive one.

If the horses are required to remain in quarantine it will have a flow on effect with another batch of invaders including Melbourne Cup equal favourite Magic Circle due to arrive on the 13th.

CAVALLARO AND FOSTER IN THRILLING FINISH In a thrilling finish to the Mitre 10 Canadian Foursomes sponsored by Howard and Sons Santo Cavallaro and Greg Fraser added their names to the Howard and Sons Canadian Foursomes cups. After returning the best score of the day in competition last Saturday their good recent form continued as they combined well to add their names to the cup winning the popular event by one eighth of a point ahead of father and son team David and Matthew Burgess.

The winning pair had a front nine of 44 and 41 for the return home got which was just good enough to get them across the line.

Team Burgess also had had a good round with a back nine of 37 compensating for a 46 on the outward journey. They also collected the birdies nest at hole 13.

Mitre 10 once again sponsored this annual event keeping alive the long tradition of the cups.

In the ladies Single Stableford sponsored by the club, Kay Webb returned to the winner's circle with a score of 36 points. Not far afield in second place was Tric Fittock with 34 points.

Pin shots went to Kev Rowling (3), Ian Henderson (12) and Casey Leotta (17).

Lorraine Evans held the ladies approach at 17, Peter Gibney the pro-pin (1/10), Casey Leotta (5/14) and Brendon Barker (9/18).

In the run down, Casey Leotta, Brendon Barker, Rod Werner, Kev Rowling, Lyn Ludlow and Lorraine Evans each collected a ball freetimes.com.au

Another month has flown by and this Saturday play is for October monthly medal and putting competition which will be sponsored by Luke Reardon.

The time sheet for the mixed foursome's championships (Sunday) is also on the board and is filling fast - have you got your names in yet?

LOOKING TOWARDS 2019 SEASON The door has only just closed on the 2018 football season but the Southern Downs Football Academy already their sights set on a successful 2019 season Tim Gaske, Coaching Director of the Academy hopes 2019 will see them expand to have six boys' teams and a girls' under U15 B team next season competing in the Toowoomba junior competition and has invited more players from Stanthorpe to get involved.

Gaske said, "The academy is a training provider and we give players an opportunity to play in whatever competition they choose," Gaske said.

In the 2018 season the academy took teams to carnivals in the south-west region, as well as Toowoomba and the Gold Coast.

Up to 90 children were involved in twiceweekly training during the season and they will commence training in the off-season when some members return from a trip overseas where they have been fortunate to receive a coaching master classes at Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Training with the Southern Downs Academy would continue on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at Queens Park with the exception of school holidays.

In 2018 the Academy took teams to carnivals in the south-west region, Toowoomba and the Gold Coast and has already nominated an Under 13 side to play in a carnival at Hervey Bay during the September/October school holidays."

Gaske is passionate about giving kids every chance to realise their potential in the game and creating pathways to explore every opportunity available.

COMING AND GOING There were mallet players coming and going every which way last week - some returns from travelling and some heading off.

Sharyn Roser was to back from her travels and joined the Ricochet players on Thursday. Roser partnered John Draper in a game against Andrea Denkewitz.

Denekwitz played well to take the game 2521. Bill Golding and Bron Southgate took on Carol Verwey and Val Fancourt in another of the games.

In a close match, Carol and Val went on to win 26 hoops to 23 in a game that saw Fancourt score a nice break of three hoops in a row.

The long and the short of it - Santo Cavallaro and Greg Fraser show off the trophy after their winning Saturday's Mitre 10 Canadian Foursomes and the Howard and Son Cup. (Is Greg standing on a box or is Santo really that short?)

The Southern Downs Football Academy is open to players from 5-17 years.

It has seven qualified coaches and is assisted by USQ technical director Matt Proctor. The Academy is giving prospective players from any club or association a chance to attend six weeks of come 'n' try training free of charge at Queens Park.

Further information can be obtained by emailing southerndownsfa@gmail.com.

BASKETBALL SET FOR SUMMER SEASON President of the Granite Belt Basketball Association Damian Petrie was delighted with the success of the winter season of Basketball and the Association is now looking forward to running a junior competition and casual seniors' games during the summer season.

Petrie said the junior competition will be run on Friday nights commencing on October 19.

The format of the junior competition will be similar to the winter comp. The Senior competition which will be played on Wednesday night will be a scrimmage format -whoever turns up plays and there will be no formal competition ladder or stats recorded.

Juniors can nominate as individuals or

teams with Petrie saying the competition will provide another option for those kids who do not wish to play Oztag or cricket but are looking for a summer sport. The competition is open to both boys and girls and will be split into two groups 11-14 years and 16-18 years. Petrie is also calling for volunteers to help referee and umpire to make the summer season a success.

If you are interested in playing or volunteering please contact Damian Petrie on 0421 555 987.

STEELING A WIN Tony Steele returned to the Sporters winner's circle on Sunday when he claimed victory ahead of runner up Jamie Mitchell.

Honours were fairly well shared with Brendon Hill and Michael Thompson figuring in the rundowns while Dave Burgess scored the Best Gross. The third pin went begging with No Takers however Norm Steele took the Pro Pin. Brendon Hill also collected a meat tray and Cody Leotta also did not go home empty handed taking the remaining meat tray with him.

The mixed Foursome Championships are being played next Sunday so it is important that Sporters tee off on the front nine on time between 7.30 and 8.00am - set those alarms.

There were a few faces missing at Gateball on Friday as some regulars have fallen to travel bug.

Forming Team 1 were Andrea Denkewitz, Joy Newman, Les Williams and Grace Howard. Their opponents in Team 2 were Sharyn Roser, Bill Golding, Val Fancourt and John Draper.

In the opening game Team One had a 14-9 win thanks in part to some good team work Team 2 bounced back in the second game to score a narrow 9-7 win.

The tables turned again in the third with Andrea Denkewitz and her team mates scoring an 11-8 win thanks to an Agari from Les Williams.

John Draper played very well in the final game scoring three Agaris helping his team to the biggest winning margin of the morning 17-9. Play finished with each team having scored two wins apiece.

The Golf Croquet group were also hit by the travel bug numbers were down but the games remained competitive. Justin Liddy, Bronnie Southgate and Marian Castles played well and scored a 13 - 10 win in their game against Dianne Wren, Liz Ellway and Elaine Brown.

Ness, Marian Castle's daughter joined the game replacing Elaine Brown in the second game and scored a hoop in one against the team of Bronnie Southgate, Dianne Wren and Liz Ellway. In a very close game which was decided by a draw breaking last hole Bronnie Southgate's team nailed a 7 - 6 win. ●
