MORE TO LOVE The editor’s desk It was wonderful to chat with Warwick artist Jennifer Marshall and her husband Ron who produced the sculpture that's the subject of this week's cover story (pages 4-5).

As you'll read, the work honours the many Indigenous horsemen who served in the First World War as members of the Australian Light Horse, many of them from Queensland. It is well worth noting that at the time they were regarded as equal citizens while in uniform and on overseas service risking their lives under our flag, yet not so on home soil as civilians. Their horsemanship and bravery are legendary, as was that of all their comrades.

The Light Horse legacy is alive and well in the shape of the 11th Light Horse Warwick-Montrose Troop, who featured in this week's Remembrance Day commemorations.

The Troop is also a familiar sight at Anzac Day services in Warwick and at other civic events, and is a reminder not only of the heroism of those Troopers but also of their horses, of the famous 'Waler' stock which adapted superbly to the desert conditions in which the Light Horse saw action.

WATER SUPPLY ‘DAY ZERO’ PLAN

BY JEREMY SOLLARS Preparations for the forecast 'day zero' for Stanthorpe when supplies of town water from Storm King Dam run dry are continuing, with the Southern Downs Regional Council overseeing the continued installation of new infrastructure at the dam.

Toowoomba firm Newlands Civil Construction is installing two one-megalitre tanks to receive raw water from Connolly Dam in Warwick, to be carted in by 24 private firms via road tanker at a cost of $800,000 a month, to be met by the Queensland Government.

The Storm King Dam works also include a new section of poly pipeline to carry the water from the tanks to the dam outlet point, where it will then flow to the Mount Marley water treatment plant.

The tanks, new pipe and upgrades to the treatment plant will cost $2.4 million, also being borne by the Queensland Government.

A council spokeswoman this week said "emergency water infrastructure works are well underway at Storm King Dam to secure water supply to Stanthorpe with the installation of two 1 megalitre tanks".

"These tanks will supply water to a new 1.5km gravity-fed pipeline that connects into the recently completed Mt Marley pipeline," the spokeswoman said.

"This project has been financed by the Queensland State Government in an effort to continue water supply to Stanthorpe

Some in the community have questioned the use of recycled water on sporting fields in the current conditions.

The new one-megalitre holding tanks being installed by Newlands Civil Construction at Storm King Dam. in the event that Storm King Dam can no longer meet the needs of residents.

"Currently, the Stanthorpe region uses 1.4 megalitres of water per day and it is expected that Storm King Dam will be unable to meet this supply around December 2019 to January 2020.

"Council expects that the new emergency water infrastructure will be completed and operational in mid-November, allowing for a number of trials of the system prior to December.

"It will be important that once the project is completed that the community remains committed to water conservation.

"Residents throughout the entire region will be asked to limit their water usage to 80

litres per person per day once water carting begins.

"For more information on the Emergency Water Infrastructure being constructed at Storm King Dam or for information about how to reduce you water usage visit www. sdrc.qld.gov.au.

"Alternatively, residents can contact Council on 1300 697 372."

QUESTIONS ...

Meanwhile, with Warwick still forecast by the council to run out of town water in "mid to late 2020" some in the community have questioned the watering of local sports fields with current water restrictions.

Readers pointed out watering being

undertaken at the St Mark's Sports Ovals on the northern bank of the Condamine River off Jackie Howe Drive including in the middle of the day when evaporation is at its highest.

While acknowledging the water is recycled water from the Warwick Wastewater Treatment Plant which is supplied to local sporting groups with water use sensitivity at an all-time high the practice has been questioned.

A council spokeswoman provided the following response to a question from the Free Times if the council had any plans to restrict the watering of the fields "Council has numerous agreements with various sporting clubs across the region for the use of recycled water," the spokeswoman said.

"Council has no plans to request the sporting clubs to restrict the timing of the use of the recycled water."

CREWS REMAIN ON HIGH BUSHFIRE ALERT AS DANGER PEAKS As the Free Times went to print this week the bushfire disaster across Queensland and New South Wales continued to peak with a 'State of Fire Emergency' declared for 42 Local Government areas in Queensland, including Southern Downs Regional Council. The declaration, expected to remain in place for some days at least, overrides all existing fire permits in those council areas and as well as the lighting of any fire - including 'cooking fires'- prohibits outdoor use of power-cutting equipment which could cause a fire.

As of Tuesday of this week bushfires were continuing to consume significant areas on the eastern side of the Main Range, including at Tarome and Clumber, and a fire burning for weeks continued at Swanfels east of Warwick, without

threatening property to date. A short distance away over the border the NSW community of Glen Innes is among many which have been devastated in recent days, including confronting the loss of life as well as property, a stark reminder of the risk posed to our own region where local fire crews remain on standby with hot and dry conditions to persist indefinitely.

The Free Times will post local bushfire updates on our website at www.freetimes. com.au and on Facebook. In the meantime, those in bushfire-prone areas - which now extend much closer to built-up areas than was previously imagined - are urged to review their own bushfire survival plans and to heed warnings both on fire prevention and those directives from emergency services in the event of a bushfire outbreak ... ●

COVER STORY

ABOVE: Members of the 11th Light Horse Warwick-Montrose Troop at the Leslie Park Remembrance Day service this week. COVER IMAGE: Mark Pollard with the life-size sculpture of ‘Grandfather Jack’ and ‘Shining Heart’, standing at the restored Semakh railway station near the shore of the Sea of Galilee, or Lake Kinneret as it is known in Israel.

A FAMILY LEGACY

BY JEREMY SOLLARS n a true illustration of how the 'wheel always turns full circle', the pivotal role played by Aboriginal horsemen in Australia's involvement in the First World War has been immortalised in a sculpture now proudly standing in Israel and created by a Warwick artist.

But the story behind the artwork is more than just about recognising the 'Queensland Black Watch' - as those horsemen and members of the 11th Australian Light Horse Regiment were affectionately known - it's also the story of brothers reunited after spending most of their lives apart.

In September of this year Warwick artist Jennifer Marshall travelled to Israel to attend the dedication ceremony of the sculpture entitled 'The Aboriginal Soldier and His Horse', along with descendants of the Queensland Black Watch.

I

The sculpture depicts Lighthorseman Jack Pollard tending the grave of a white comrade with a military-issue Bible in one hand and his horse, Shining Heart, with head down and sharing his master's grief.

The scene is just after a battle which took place at Semakh Railway Station in the Jordan Valley in the last weeks of the First World War, just days before the Turkish surrender and almost a year after the famed Australian Light Horse charge on Beersheba, in October 1917.

At Semakh the 11th Light Horse Regiment - followed by two squadrons of the 12th Light Horse Regiment and the 4th Brigade Machine Guns - charged the railway station in the dark, galloping across un-surveyed and unknown ground - and took the heavily-defended position from the Germans and the Turks, an action which was in the end reduced to hand-to-hand combat around and in the station, including

in the railway carriages.

The 11th Light Horse Regiment - mostly from southern and central Qld - and from whom the 11th Light Horse Warwick Montrose Troop gets its name had the largest number of Indigenous Australians of any unit in the First World War. None of the Aboriginal troopers lost their lives at Semakh but 19 of their white comrades were killed in action, along with many of the horses, the fabled 'Walers' of the Light Horse.

In early 2019 Jennifer Marshall - who has a long association with the Warwick Montrose troop - was tasked with creating a small clay sculpture to honour the Aboriginal contribution to the First World War and specifically the battle at Semakh.

The original 31cm sculpture of Jack Pollard she created (pictured next page), with the assistance of fellow artist and husband Ron, was then transformed in

Israel through the wonders of modern 3D printing into a work standing 1.4 metres high and erected near the restored Semakh railway station in the grounds of Kinneret Academic College on the southern shore of the Sea of Galilee, known in Israel as Lake Kinneret.

The 'model' for Jack Pollard was his grandson John, who became a close friend of Jennifer and Ron Marshall through their mutual links to Australian Light Horse heritage.

But for John and his brother Mark, the dedication of Jennifer's sculpture carried an even greater significance - that being their reconnection with their own family heritage and 'Grandfather Jack'.

A member of the Stolen Generation, John Pollard knew nothing of his family until about seven years ago, when a cousin began researching their family history.

John - who manages "Hillcrest" a property near the Queensland-NSW border - grew up in orphanages in Brisbane and Rockhampton but when he finally learned of his grandfather's war service "felt a deep urgency to honour what he and the other Aboriginal troopers did in the First World War".

"They were called Queensland's Black Watch, but they never got any recognition when they came back to Australia," John says.

After Jennifer asked him to pose as his grandfather for the sculpture John says he felt "a pride that is hard to put into words".

Jennifer says after meeting John and learning his family story she felt compelled to play a part in recognising the Pollard contribution to the Light Horse, and the wartime service of the Aboriginal troopers.

"John told us the story of a visitation he had of a mysterious traditional Aboriginal elder, who appeared to him one night about 10 years ago when he and a guest were watching TV in his home," Jennifer explains.

"It frightened them both and the guest fled and never returned.

"At that time John knew nothing about his Aboriginal heritage, but sought out an Aboriginal Wise Man to enlighten him as to the meaning of the visitation.

"He was told that he had been chosen but chosen for what?

"He did not know.

"Sometime after that John and his immediate family were reunited and he discovered that his grandfather Jack Pollard was in the 11th Light Horse regiment in WW1, and a member of the 'Queensland Black Watch'.

"And like all the other Aboriginal soldiers they were equal on the battlefield, but when they returned to Australia they received no recognition.

"John felt that he had to do something to honour his grandfather and the rest of the Aboriginal troopers, so to start with he joined the 11th Light Horse Warwick Montrose Troop, which is how Ron and I met him."

Jennifer said John then began a quest to bring together a group of indigenous riders to represent the 'Queensland Black Watch' at Anzac Day. "The vivid memory of that Aboriginal elder's visitation carried John through many setbacks, but ultimately with the help and encouragement of friends, John was successful in bringing five descendants of the original Black Watch together for the Anzac Day parade this year in Gatton, four of them on horseback," Jennifer said.

"Also important to the design of the sculpture is another amazing story.

"Some years ago Gerry, John's wife, had a series of identical dreams in which she

was told to go alone up to the top of a hill to

commission him to not only rediscover his

Jennifer Marshall pictured with Russell Broderick and "Dotty" of the 11th Light Horse Warwick-Montrose Troop on Remembrance Day.

Warwick artist Jennifer Marshall and husband Ron specialise in military equestrian art. The original work is made of oil and wax infused clay, with the couple having moulded it around a wire frame. The New Testament in Jack Pollard's hand was issued to the troopers by the Army. The nickname "Black Watch", though coined endearingly and out of respect for the superb horsemanship and marksmanship of the Aboriginal troopers - may be considered by some today to be 'politically incorrect' but John Pollard takes no offence, saying "That's what Jack and his mates were called". what was an old dump on the property they manage.

"She was directed in her dream to a piece of tin, told to lift it up and take what she found under it to John. " 'I never saw who was talking to me,' Gerry said, 'but his words were '...and it will greatly help you'.

"After the third night that she had the identical dream, she got out of bed and got on the four-wheeler and went up there by herself.

"Going immediately to the piece of tin she'd seen in her dreams, she lifted it up and then under another piece of tin she found, in a tin, a small leather-covered book with a press-stud closing it.

"She picked it up not knowing what it was and took it home to John - it was a WW1 military issue New Testament.

"John has carried this military-issue bible in his top pocket ever since and it was the inspiration I had to create the sculpture of his grandfather holding it while tending to the grave of his mate.

"I know a lot of people will find this hard to believe but John, and Ron and I, and others in the know, truly believe the original visitation of the mysterious Aboriginal Elder that came to John 10 years ago was to

family history and Aboriginal heritage, but to remember and bring honour to those of his people who deserved it, and for whom it has been so long overdue.

"In late January this year I was asked to ring Barry Rogers OAM, a Director of the Australian Light Horse Association Inc, and give some input into the problem of creating a memorial sculpture to honour the Aboriginal troopers who were involved in the battle of Semakh on the 25th September 1918.

"Plans 10 years in the making had come to nought and time was running out.

"I volunteered my services - much to Ron's horror - for he did not know I had done ceramic sculpture at High School and at Teachers College and I rather relished the idea of handling clay!

"I promised Barry I'd have a sketch of my proposition in two days.

"I am a believer in Almighty God, so I went to bed that night and prayed for His guidance.

"I slept well, and next morning I awoke to a vision of the sculpture - exactly as I ended up doing it.

"I rang Barry and said he had a choice - go 'dramatic', with galloping horse and trooper brandishing sword, or 'contemplative', and

described what I'd envisioned.

"Contemplative sounds good!" was his response, and so it came to be.

"I had the privilege of going to Israel and witnessing the unveiling and dedication of the 3D enlarged version of my sculpture on the 25th of September.

"All the speeches were excellent, the speakers taking their cue from the mateship, care, concern and equality between black and white troopers in the 11th Light Horse Regiment, and expressed in the sculpture.

"Mark Pollard, John's brother gave a particularly heartfelt address, honouring not just the indigenous troopers, but the white troopers who were their mates, 19 of whom paid the ultimate sacrifice in the battle of Semakh 101 years ago.

"These courageous men forged the neverending tie that makes Australians, including Aboriginal Australians, part of the story of Israel - and the land of Israel part of the Australian story, including the Indigenous Australian story.

"You've no idea how much this means to us here," one Israeli citizen told me.

"I live 1km from here and every visitor we have will be coming to see this sculpture and learn what Australia did for us here over 100 years ago.

"We are very grateful," they said.

"I guess I feel it's part of my own destiny to have played a part in recognising the contribution Jack and the other Aboriginal horsemen made to Australia's war effort.

"It's also very special to me as part of my involvement with the Light Horse, and I've been a member of the Warwick Montrose Troop since its inception." â—?

BIG-TICKET ITEMS IN 10 YEAR PLAN

BY JEREMY SOLLARS

A new WIRAC is on the 10-year forecast capital spending budget. made available for the public to view with electronic copies available on Council's Website, as well as hardcopies at the Council

A 'rebuild' of the Warwick Indoor Recreation and Aquatic Centre (WIRAC) costing $19 million, a crematorium, 'smart water meters' and further streetscape improvements for the Warwick and Stanthorpe town centres are among the 'big ticket' items on the Southern Downs Regional Council's forecast capital spending budget over the next decade.

But the biggest capital spending proposed over the next 10 years is forecast to be on replacement of the council's vehicle and heavy machinery fleet, with a spend of $27 million pencilled in from the 2020-2021 financial year.

But with the next council elections due in March next year the council says the current focus is on next financial year's budget, with councillors voting to adopt the 2020-2021 budget process at their October meeting.

A council spokeswoman said the adoption of the budget process and "associated timelines means Council will continue with an approach similar to prior years, in that the budget will be placed on public exhibition for a period of approximately one month, during April 2020".

"During the exhibition period the public is encouraged to provide written submissions to the draft budget along with any feedback or commentary," the spokeswoman said.

"Additionally, Council will offer a number of individuals and organisations the opportunity to present their submission to Council at a Special Council Meeting."

Councillor for Finance, Governance and The Arts and Deputy Mayor Jo McNally said "these processes are important particularly given the upcoming elections".

"Council is proud to take a very open and transparent approach to setting its budget and it is important that we listen to our community to understand what is important to them," Cr McNally said.

COUNCIL MUM ON NEW MANAGER

BY JEREMY SOLLARS The Southern Downs Regional Council is refusing to comment on the appointment of a new Manager of Economic Development and Tourism after the previous officer in that role departed earlier in the year.

The Free Times initially understood the position remained vacant after the council confirmed in July that former manager Scott Templeman had left the role, after his contract had "expired".

We asked the council last week if the position had been filled - and offered to feature a profile on Mr Templeman's replacement - but a spokeswoman said "council is unable to provide comment at this stage".

But on examination of the current council organisational structure as detailed on the SDRC website it appears the role of Manager of Economic Development and Tourism no longer exists and has been replaced by a 'Manager Strategic Planning and Prosperity', reporting to Director of Sustainable Development Jane Stroud.

The responsibilities of the 'Manager Strategic Planning and Prosperity' are listed as follows · Strategic Planning and Compliance · Development Assessment · Industry and Economic Development · Regional Skills Investment · Tourism Marketing · Regional Events The role would appear to form part of a

Along with the Manager Strategic Planning and Prosperity, reporting to Ms Stroud are a Manager of Environmental and Regulatory Services and Manager Waste Services.

Reporting to Ms Morris are the Managers of Community and Cultural Services, Corporate and Commercial Services and Finance and Information Technology.

Reporting to Ms McKenzie are the Managers of Water, Works and Parks and Operations.

GROWTH AIMS ...

Former Economic Development and Tourism manager Scott Templeman. significant management shake-up within the council, the workforce of which is headed by chief executive officer (CEO) David Keenan and directly below him three department directors - Jane Stroud, Joanne Morris (Corporate and Community Services) and Seren McKenzie (Infrastructure Services).

As well as the three directors another role - that of 'Manager People and Culture' - reports directly to the CEO, as do a 'Marketing Officer', two 'Communications Officers' and the 'Executive Assistant to the Mayor and CEO'.

Whoever the current Manager of Strategic Planning and Prosperity may be, they are assumed to be responsible for the region's ongoing economic development vision, encapsulated in a number of documents including the Operational and Corporate Plans, the Climate Change Adaptation Action Plan, the 2017-2020 Economic Development Strategy, the 2017-2020 Tourism Strategy and the 'Shaping Southern Downs' vision, subtitled 'Ideas and actions for a bigger and better region'.

The 'Shaping Southern Downs' document contains the following summary "The aim of Shaping Southern Downs is to create a great future for a bigger Southern Downs by: · defining a clear vision for our region; · providing strategies and actions to pursue that vision; and · committing the Council and key

stakeholders to grow the region's population.

"Shaping Southern Downs seeks to leverage the strengths and attributes of the region to drive population growth to 50,000 in the foreseeable future.

"Southern Downs is a community that welcomes growth and population diversity by offering a rural lifestyle with a temperate climate which is well-connected to South East Queensland's services and facilities.

"Population growth will support a range of benefits for the region including: · a wider range of businesses, industries and services to support a growing population; · a bigger workforce to support these business opportunities and provide local employment for its population; · making better use of existing infrastructure already in place in the region; and · creating a sense of being a place with a big future and a great place to live, work and invest.

"This plan establishes a shared platform for coordinated planning, advocacy and delivery to grow a bigger and better region.

"It is the foundation for Council's partnership with its community, businesses, community groups, service providers, and other Government organisations.

"The plan will ultimately provide a framework for the new Corporate Plan and new Southern Downs Planning Scheme." ●

RESEARCH HELP "Mechanical construction complete"...

SOLAR FARM IS SET The University of Queensland (UQ) says its controversial solar farm at Sladevale north of Warwick is "on track" to start generating electricity in the first three months of next year.

Work on installation of 250,000 solar panels on the site bounded by Jensen, Gleeson, Robinson and Freestone Roads has been continuing at a rapid pace in recent weeks, with roadworks also being carried out at the junction of Robinson and Freestone Roads.

UQ has previously stated power generated from the solar farm will be fed into the general Ergon 'grid' and will "offset" power use at its St Lucia campus in Brisbane by 100 per cent annually.

A UQ spokesman this week told the Free Times that "construction on the site

recently reached a milestone with what is known as 'mechanical completion' - this marks the completion of installation of all pieces of equipment for the main solar farm, including trackers, panels and inverters".

"We have now commenced the process of electrical connections, to be followed by testing and commissioning of all parts of the system," the UQ spokesman said this week.

"We remain on track to commence power generation in Q1 2020.

"I'm advised by Lendlease (principal contractor) that Robinson Road is on track to reopen to vehicles on Tuesday 26 November, although this remains subject to potential weather delays etc.

"We thank people for their patience whilst this work has been underway." ●

COUNCIL 'Q&A' Residents and businesses are invited to bring their questions and feedback on the issues impacting the region to the Southern Downs Regional Council's Q&A Sessions in Warwick and Stanthorpe on Monday 2 December and Tuesday 3 December.

A council spokeswoman said "while water supply and storage in the short, medium and long term are expected to be high on the community's agenda, the floor will be open to any topic of interest".

"The sessions will be chaired by the Southern Downs Regional Council Mayor Tracy Dobie and attended by Councillors, the Chief Executive Officer David Keenan, directors, and managers where appropriate," the spokeswoman said.

Mayor Tracy Dobie said the Q&A Sessions are "the most appropriate and pertinent platform for the community to ask questions, voice concerns and receive accurate and up-to-date information from Councillors and staff".

"Going into a potentially hot and excessively dry summer season, the sessions are timely with the expected completion of construction and trials of the new emergency water infrastructure at Storm King Dam," Cr Dobie said.

"I am certain that the community will have many questions surrounding the logistics of how Council will roll out the supply of water to Stanthorpe should it be required.

"The sessions will also focus on the recently adopted 18/19 Annual Report, Council's planned Capital Works program and financial position.

"The sessions will be live streamed on Council's Facebook site." · Warwick: 5.30pm, Monday 2 December, Warwick Town Hall · Stanthorpe: 5.30pm, Tuesday 3 December, Stanthorpe Civic Centre ●

COUNCIL “UNDERSTANDS” PEST PAINS The Southern Downs Regional Council says landholders across the region who are having "difficulty meeting their Invasive Pests Control Scheme (IPCS) obligations due to the drought" are being called on to contact the council's Pest Management Team "for support and assistance".

Councillor for Agriculture, Environment and Sustainability Cameron Gow said the council "is working closely with farmers and landholders across the Southern Downs and Granite Belt, by providing them with support, advice and relief where needed for those who are experiencing hardship".

"Council will continue to take a common-sense and practical approach to IPCS and the drought," Cr Gow said.

"We understand the drought is greatly impacting the Southern Downs and Granite Belt and its agriculture sector.

"Council understands the issues and we are working with farmers and the community to adapt and respond sensibly to the many challenges our region and our environment are currently facing.

"We want to reassure all landholders Council appreciates priorities have changed

and you may not be in a position to undertake control works on invasive pests at the moment.

"I encourage all landholders to please get in touch with Council and its Pest Management team, so we can assist you to resolve any challenges or issues relating to the IPCS. "Landholders can contact Council's Pest Management Team and arrange a property visit at any time.

"The team will continue to provide support, relief and advice to farmers, so when conditions improve, we can continue to address the invasive pests affecting our farms, environment and community in a sensible and practical way."

Cr Gow said at its September General Meeting council moved to "implement the IPCS as ongoing policy with a review built in every four years".

"A first for Queensland, the IPCS was introduced in 2017 following consultation with landholders on finding a more efficient and effective approach to collectively managing the region's invasive pests, to reduce the significant impacts they

were having on the region's agricultural productivity and the environment," Cr Gow said.

"Despite the challenges of the drought, Council remains committed to the IPCS because of the huge benefits it's delivering to the region's farms and agriculture sector, natural environment and communities.

"The program has been proven to be delivering huge environmental and economic benefits to the Southern Downs.

"A recently-commissioned independent triple bottom line cost benefit analysis of the IPCS found an additional 415,000 hectares of land is on track to be declared pest- free by 2030, and the region is set to benefit from $96 million over the next 30 years.

"We're taking the long view on pest management and the region's environment to ensure our agriculture industry can continue to thrive.

"Invasive pests not only destroy our native plants and wildlife, they threaten our region's economy, costing all ratepayers and the agriculture sector millions of dollars every year.

"It is challenging but we're working hard

to protect the region's environment and to build a better future for the region - even now, while facing the challenges of this terrible drought.

"Council remains committed to managing pests on its land and is working closely with the State Government to meet its biosecurity obligations.

"Since it was introduced, the IPCS has supported Council to successfully source and secure more than $2.2 million in government funding for pest management initiatives across the Southern Downs.

"Almost 85 per cent of our region's landholders now know where to go to access best practice control information for invasive pests.

"They are telling us that by taking a 'power in numbers approach' to pest management they are beginning to make good gains from the economic, environmental and social benefits of the IPCS." · For more information contact 1300 MY SDRC (1300 697 372), mail@sdrc.qld.gov. au or drop into the Warwick or Stanthorpe Community Contact Centres. ●

NEW FEDERAL DROUGHT PACKAGE Prime Minister Scott Morrison last week said "drought-hit farmers, small businesses and rural towns are set for an immediate cash injection to keep stock fed and watered, keep businesses open, keep locals in work and pump funds into local economies", after releasing Canberra's latest set of support measures last Thursday 7 November.

In a statement the PM said the Coalition Government's "next step of measures to combat the drought's impact was ready to flow".

"We are stepping up our drought response once again to meet the increasing needs as the drought's effects also step up," Mr Morrison said last week.

"Since the budget we have already committed an additional $355 million to step up our drought response.

"This announcement triples this to more than $1 billion since the election, as well as more than $1 billion in new interest free loans, to see people through.

"They are backing themselves and we are backing them to make it through to the better days that will be ahead.

"It's not only farmers doing it tough in drought.

"Our next step in drought support also has an eye squarely on those communities feeling the strain as work dries up and spending in local stores slows down.

"There is no silver bullet to this drought.

"Each time we introduce further help we listen, we learn and we adjust our response because we know each community has different needs and priorities that need the resources and cooperation of every level of government."

THE DETAILS ... · Making new and existing drought loans

Tatiara in SA · $50 million discretionary fund to support projects in Local Government Areas impacted by the drought · Redirecting $200 million into a Building Better Regions Fund drought round to support new projects that deliver social and economic benefits to drought-affected communities · $138.9 million additional Roads to Recovery funding in calendar year 2020 for the 128 Local Government Areas eligible for the Drought Communities Programme Extension · 100 gigalitres of water that will be used to grow up to 120,000 tonnes of fodder as well as silage and pasture to secure supplies for the months ahead.

COUNCIL REACTS ...

ScoMo. for farmers interest free for two years so they purchase fodder, pay for freight and pay their farm hands. Years three to five will be interest only payment and years six to 10 will be interest and principal.

Current scheme is the first five years are interest only payments, and interest and principal payments for the balance of the loan term · A new program for small businesses dependent on agriculture with loans worth up to $500,000 that can be used to pay staff, buy equipment and refinance. It follows the same new payment scheme as the Drought Loans for farmers · $10 million to support schools facing

financial hardship as a result of ongoing drought conditions, including fee concessions for boarding students · $5 million from the Community Child Care Fund will help assist centres that are experiencing decreased demand and financial pressure due to families from drought-affected areas being unable to pay for child care · An additional $1 million for each of the 122 drought-affected councils and shires if they need it · $1 million each for new drought-affected councils and shires including Greater Hume, Hilltops, Lockhart and Upper Lachlan in NSW, and Kangaroo Island and

A Southern Downs Regional Council spokeswoman said the council "welcomes the drought funding provided by the Federal Government and will work with the community to understand the best way to expend the $1M from the Drought Communities Programme".

"In relation to the Building Better Regions Fund, Council will submit projects that will generate employment across the region," the spokeswoman said.

"With regards to Roads to Recovery, Council will review its Roads Asset Management Plan to identify infrastructure that can be upgraded or repaired.

"Council is disappointed that the initiative for rural water tanks on properties not connected to the reticulated water network, put forward by Councillor Rod Kelly, was not included in the drought package." ●

OPINION - TRAVIS TOBIN, QLD FARMERS’ FEDERATION CEO in this country, down from 86 per cent in 2007. Only a third of the population trust our state and local governments and only 21 per cent trust ministers and MPs. It was also revealed (unsurprisingly) that most Australians dislike conflict-driven politics.

CEDA's (Committee for Economic Development of Australia) Community Pulse 2018 revealed the disconnect between Australia's strong economic track record and the community's sense of having shared in this growth. Only 5 per cent of people surveyed believed they have personally gained a lot from decades of uninterrupted

economic growth, but 74 per cent believed large corporations had gained a lot.

The Suncorp-CCIQ Pulse Business Confidence Survey for the June quarter 2019 revealed the state government must work far harder to foster private sector jobs instead of creating them, and that the private sector is particularly discouraged from growing in an increasingly complex regulatory and commercial environment.

What all these surveys tell us is that political parties must rebuild trust and demonstrate that they are listening. Without trust we have diminished capacity to meet

With the state election now less than 12 months away (31 October 2020), the political parties will be turning their focus towards getting elected. Recent surveys reveal some concerning trends but also some salient points worth considering.

Ispos surveys exposed that Australians are unhappy with the state of democratic politics. Despite experiencing 28 years of uninterrupted economic growth, our governments, leading institutions and media are among the least trusted in the world.

40 YEARS OF CUSTOMER SERVICE

Ensbey Electrical has a base of operations in Stanthorpe as well as its Warwick headquarters. administration and management team.

At this time Ensbey Electrical also expanded into the Granite Belt, by opening a workshop and a branch in Stanthorpe.

Even though Ensbey Electrical had done a considerable amount of work across the Granite Belt over many years, the move allowed the business to fully cover the whole of the Southern Downs region.

In July of this year the business completed another milestone with the retirement of Neil and Noela and sale of the balance of the business to Justin and Graham and their families.

This year celebrates 40 years of business for local family-owned electrical contractors Ensbey Electrical.

The business was started by Neil and Noela Ensbey in 1979 following the couple's move from Brisbane to Warwick.

As with all businesses, Neil started out as a one-man band ably assisted by Noela doing the accounts.

Over the years the business grew and with additional staff they purchased the old Warwick indoor cricket centre and moved the business from their family home to the current premises at 100 Bisley Street.

Ensbey Electrical continued to grow with additional employees including many apprentices.

Over the years the business diversified with this growth to incorporate not only works in the electrical field but also included communications and data cabling, air conditioning and refrigeration, security and CCTV installation and repairs to whitegoods, both domestic and commercial catering.

In 2015 the Ensbey family went into a partnership with the Hitchener family, with Justin - who had done his apprenticeship and trade with Ensbey Electrical - and his father Graham joining as part of the

Graham Hitchener and administrative staff Vicki Thomas and Nita Hoiberg. Call Ensbey Electrical today on 4661 7999.

LEAVE IT TO THE PROFESSIONALS ... IT'S JUST NOT WORTH THE RISK ...

The Queensland Electrical Safety Office regularly reminds both homeowners and business owners about the risks and potential pitfalls of attempting your own electrical work.

While you may think you can 'save' a couple of dollars by 'having a go' ... stop - and ask yourself - is it worth risking your life or that of a loved one?

Always get a licensed electrical contractor like Ensbey Electrical to do any electrical work around your home, office or business premises.

WHAT IS ELECTRICAL WORK? Under section 18 of the Electrical Safety Act 2002 (the Act), electrical work includes "the manufacturing, constructing, installing, testing, maintaining, repairing, altering, removing, or replacing of electrical equipment".

This covers tasks such as installing a new power point, replacing a light switch, replacing a batten holder with a new light fitting, repairing an appliance

Ensbey Electrical responded to Stanthorpe area residents impacted by the recent bushfires.

such as a heater, altering the location of an existing power point, replacing a light fitting with a ceiling fan, or constructing an extension lead and replacing a plug on the end of a lead.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF I DO MY OWN ELECTRICAL WORK? People who perform unlicensed and DIY electrical work potentially risk contact with electricity while performing the work, which can have deadly consequences. Additionally, the electrical installation or equipment affected may be unwittingly left in an unsafe state. Due to the latent nature of some electrical faults, this danger

may not be immediately apparent. The danger often only becomes evident in a fault situation, or may even develop over time.

Major property damage from an electrical fire is also a real risk which can impose considerable financial, emotional and social costs, especially if it was the result of illegal electrical work, which may lead to an insurer refusing a claim.

•฀Don't leave it to chance - call Ensbey Electrical for all of your household and business electrical repairs and installation. ●

NEW CITIZENS TAKE THE PLEDGE The Southern Downs Regional Council this week hosted the largest Citizenship Ceremony of all time, with 28 new Australians from 14 different countries taking the pledge at the Warwick Town Hall. The ceremony on Monday 11 November was officiated by Mayor Tracy Dobie with Federal MP for Maranoa David Littleproud in attendance ... a warm congratulations to all of our new citizens! ● Stanthorpe Toastmasters can help you overcome your fear of public speaking.

FEAR NOT PUBLIC SPEAKING Many studies have shown the greatest fear people have is public speaking - if this sounds like you Stanthorpe Toastmasters are here to help.

Stanthorpe Toastmasters recently celebrated 47 years of helping people to communicate more effectively and to become better leaders.

Toastmasters is a worldwide organisation and the Stanthorpe branch is a vibrant club full of caring people who know all too well what a challenge public speaking can be.

Is there a speech in your future?

Stanthorpe Toastmasters can help you deliver it better and more comfortably with their 'Toastmasters Pathways Program'.

The group also recently hosted the second instalment in its series of 'Great Debates', with October's topic the highly controversial 'Gender Quotas are Needed To Achieve Equality'.

"Clearly Google was running overtime 18 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES

with supporting and opposing facts and figures being thrown around like Bunsen burners in a science-themed WWE match," said Trevor Burton of McDonald's Stanthorpe and Warwick, Toastmasters sponsor.

"When it's all said and done, we don't take it all too seriously.

"The goal of the session was to have fun and learn a little along the way.

"And we all had a ball".

Stanthorpe Toastmasters meets every second and fourth Thursday of the month from 6.45pm at the Adult Learning Centre at Stanthorpe State High School.

Never been to a meeting before? It will cost you nothing to come along and see what happens!

Check out Stanthorpe Toastmasters on Facebook and for more information text or give Julia a call or text on 0488 297 956. ●

THE SPIN

A PROUD AUSSIE (AND LOCAL) TOO! The Melbourne Cup is just a hazy memory for most of us, unless of course you are the connections of Vow and Declare. The haze for them might take just a little longer to clear. With a Warwick connection to the winner (part owner and Assumption College principal Kort Goodman) we can all feel a touch of pride and a small connection.

There was plenty of hooting and hollering in the O'Connor camp especially when the race protest was upheld.

Of course when the dust settled and we discovered we had between us backed 1, 2 and 3 but failed to take the trifecta - there may have been a little finger pointing and some questions asked.

I Vow and Declare next year we will make sure all bases are covered in the trifecta game. No doubt that will be the cue to see selections tailed off and waddling to the finishing post.

It was a simply sensational Cup made all the better by the win of a truly Australian horse. It proves that although the international raiders will continue to come (as they should) Australian racing can and still does produce the best. It also gives hope to all those Aussie owners who have shares in Australian gallopers.

While there seemed to be little silly behaviour over the course of the Cup Carnival it seems the same can't be said of our Rugby League players (again - sigh).

It is no wonder club chairmen, the CEO of the NRL and the likes are so well paid.

They must sleep with one eye open and an ear cocked waiting for the phone to ring during the off season - well all year really.

Bronco's David Fafita has certainly had tarnished his rising star with his actions in Bali but hopefully a few days in a Bali lock up may give him some clarity going forward in regard to his obligations and privileged position as an elite rugby league player. Let's hope so.

There was such joy, excitement and expectation leading into the Fed Cup final last weekend. To see the distress on Ash Barty's face told the story of how much a win would have meant to Barty and her team mates. Let's hope we see Barty in the winner's circle at the OZ Open in a couple of months and the Barty Party back in full swing.

Sport, as in life, is not always about fairytales. Vow and Declare's owners got theirs - Barty and co not so much. At the end of the day the team can hold their heads up - they represented us with pride and distinction.

- Casey EARLY BIRD BARNETT The early bird they say gets the worm but at the Stanthorpe Golf Club last Saturday it was the early bird who got the bikkies.

Local golfer Keith Barnett was able to take full advantage of his early morning start and that gentle early morning breeze to return a winning score of 40 points in the annual M & D Auto golf day.

Conditions deteriorated as the day went on and players in the afternoon groups found that early morning breeze had become unpredictably severe gusts.

Warwick Golf Club visitor, Ben Griffith handled the conditions better than the rest and finished with 38 points to secure the runner's up position.

In the Ladies event Lyn Ludlow played well and obviously handled the conditions very well. Her score of 37 points gave her a 22 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES

Vow and Declare looking relaxed just prior to being saddled for the Cup. seven point buffer ahead of the remainder of the field and an easy win. Helen Jones was the runner up to Ludlow.

The M & D Pin shot at 17 was snapped up by Trevor Ludlow. The remaining pin shots went the way of Matt Burgess (3), Travis Burton (12).

Annelle Batterham collected the ladies approach at 12. Matt Tate (Warwick GC) John Spiller and Hayden Smith shared the Birdie's Nest at 15.

In the run downs Rod Werner, Mick O'Brien, Darryl Boekholt and Greg Fraser, (36 points) each collected a ball as did Shaneen McLellan (26 pts).

The M & D Golf Day has always been a popular event on the Stanthorpe calendar and last weekend was no exception. Thanks John Spiller for travelling to play on the day to Mick and Judy Spiller for their continued sponsorship and support of the club.

The club hosts another popular event this weekend, the Peirce Trophy, a mixed 4BBB Stableford sponsored by Bob Peirce and family.

A number of ladies have already indicated they will play but require a playing partner so come on fellas don't be shy.

They promise me they will be on their best behaviour.

Tee off from 11.30 am.

AROUND THE CORNER ON THE COURSE The Stanthorpe Golf club is hosting a Vets mixed 4BBB on Monday November 18.

There is a time sheet for the event on the club notice board. This is a shotgun start with tee off at 9.00am

Thursday, 14 November, 2019

There is plenty of golf to play between now and the Xmas period, so golfers are urged to keep an eye on the Stanthorpe programme to ensure they do not miss out.

Along with Christmas comes not only Santa, too much food and hangovers but also the Stanthorpe Boxing Day Classic.

The time sheet for this event is out already and those who intend to play are urged to get their names in quickly to avoid disappointment. "You snooze; You lose."

SOUTHS ON THE BOARD South's posted their first win of the 2019/20 season last weekend with a solid win over Tenterfield.

The turf wicket on the CF White Oval was in good condition for the round five game and after winning the toss South's elected to have a bat.

Liam Lanza who a forgettable game last week against RSL showed the form with the bat we have come to expect and top scored with 63.

The South's innings did not get off to the best of starts. Opener Sachepal Singh found himself back in the clubhouse midway through the second over after falling victim to the bowling of Geoff Swan and the score 1/10. His opening partner Alex Cameron score 18 from 25 deliveries before he too was dismissed. The score 2/37.

Lanza was playing his part at one end.

He was joined by Harry Williams at the crease with the score at 2/37. A solid partnership was required and the youngsters delivered.

The pair moved the score along to 115

before Pat Skinner got the break through Tenterfield were looking for. It was the first of three wickets for the bowler. In a sensible innings Williams 26 runs came off 48 balls and included two boundaries.

Dan Davies and Jack Clark came and went for a couple of ducks. With the score at 6/122 and South's innings at the cross roads captain Ben Staley who had dropped himself down the order joined Lanza at the crease.

Lanza and Staley combined to take the score to 164 before Mitchell Austin bowled Lanza for 63.

John Hendry (9) made a return to the cricket field joining Staley (20) at the wicket until the close of the South's innings. Once again extras played an integral part in the South' innings adding 36 handy runs to the total.

Tenterfield left to face 182 for victory.

Openers Nick Savins and Alan Donges got Tenterfield off to a solid stat. The first wicket falling with the score at 41 when Savins was bowled Cameron.

The score was 4/64 when Donges was caught behind by Ben Staley off the bowling of Cameron. Tenterfield collapsed from that point and were all out for 93. A score flattered by 36 extras which included 30 wides and a couple of no balls.

Ben Staley gloved two catches behind the stumps to add to a good captain's knock with the bat.

South's claimed the four points. This week they face a tougher task when they play Wanderers at CF White. Tenterfield have the round six bye. freetimes.com.au

FOUR TABLE MITCHELL The Stanthorpe Bridge Club welcomed a group of visiting players from Warwick last week.

The group played a four table Mitchell for red points John Fernie and Helen Reeves were the winners of the N/S. Hilary Richardson and Carol Axworthy finished in second place.

Winners of the E/W were Sue Goddard and Judy Mobbs with Carole Lihou and Joy Newman in second place.

The Bridge players meet each Thursday morning in the Senior Citizens room at the Stanthorpe Civic centre. Visiting and local players including beginners and those with more experience are always made welcome.

RSL IN STRONG SHOWING In game two of the fifth round of fixtures in Stanthorpe Wanderers went head to head with RSL on Sheehan Oval.

After winning the toss Wanderers batted first and despite some good bowling from the strong Valley's attack batted out the full 40 overs and set RSL a 147 run chase.

RSL bowlers put the brakes on the Wanderers opening partnership from the outset. Damien Anderson playing in his first game this season got an early reward dismissing Tim Harslett (12) with the first ball of only his second over. Charlie Moncada chimed in to remove Haslett's opening partner Ky Rashleigh for nine and Wanderers found themselves 2/25 midway through the 13th over.

A steadying partnership was required and the dangerous Jamie Carnell (34) and captain Brock Patti took the score to 89 before Cameron Crestani claimed the important scalp of Carnell.

Brock Carnell batted on making his way to a half century before falling victim to the opposing captain Damian Anderson to give the bowler the second of a four wicket haul.

Josh Rogers was the only other batsman to show any resistance before he too became another Anderson casualty.

Wanderers somehow batted out the allotted 40 over despite losing four of their last five batsmen for ducks. Wanderers were all out for 146. In this game extras also played their part (22). However the Valley's bowlers were a little more disciplined with 16 wides and two no balls.

146 looked a difficult total to defend against the strong Valley's batting attack.

Never count your chickens though and Wanderers were cock a hoop when Andrew Einam bowled opener Anthony Coup for just one run. The score 1/6 after just one over.

The Wanderers celebrations were short lived as Curtis Allen and Charlie Moncada put together a classy partnership before Moncada was caught y by Rashleigh off the bowling of Jamie Carnell.

Valleys looked in control at 4/114 when Curtis Allen fell for 48. It was a solid innings his runs coming from 77 deliveries and included four boundaries.

Damien Anderson struck 22 runs from 22 deliveries at a point when things could easily have gone awry for Valleys. At the end of the day Valleys scored a comfortable win midway through the 31st over.

Wanderers, Andrew Einam took 2/24 and claimed two catches. He and Jamie Carnell were the best of the Wanderers bowlers who kept their extras to 13 wides and one no ball in a total of 15.

The issue of cheap runs from wides and no balls is certainly something all captains will no doubt be addressing as the season progresses.

This week Valleys meet RSL in what should be a very entertaining game.

COMPEITITIVE ASSOCIATION GAMES There was a pleasing roll up for the Association Croquet games last week. Carol freetimes.com.au

''So this is what all the fuss is about...''

- Vow and Declare appears to be saying the morning after the big day.

Verwey and Joy Newman played Peter Tunbridge and Grace Howard in a tough game. Tunbridge scored a nice break of three hoops in a row and his partner made a break of four. However it was Grace Howard who scored best with a break of five in a row. Her performance helped as she and Tunbridge went on to a narrow 26-25 win.

There was plenty of experience on show in the other game as Andrea Denkewitz and Heather Widderick played Effey Russell and Jenny Tunbridge. Russell scored a peel and had a break of two in a game where she and Jenny dominated to score a 24-15 win.

SHARING SPORTERS SPOILS The spoils of Sporters were shared among a number of eager players last Sunday. Marg Locke played well in the conditions and was the worthy overall winner. Ivan Juriss did best of the rest to claim the runner's up prize. Paul Armstrong's consistency again landed him the Best Gross score of the day and he also claimed the Pro Pin. Ian Anderson held the pin shot at the third. Ray Thorn and Dick Hilton were lucky enough to sneak off with a meat tray each.

Sporters is on each and every Sunday morning and during the summer season players tee off at the Stanthorpe Golf Course from 7.30 - 8.00am. Visitor and new players are always welcome to come and have a hit.

TEAM ONE ON TOP It was a busy morning on Friday as the Gateball players arranged their teams.

Andrea Denkewitz, Joy Newman, Les Williams and Val Fancourt formed Team One. Their opponents in Team two were Jenny Tunbridge, Eric McLellan, Bill Golding, Heather Widderick and Grace Howard.

In the opening game Team One scored three Agari's as they snatched a 12-10 win to open proceedings.

The second game was a dour low scoring game. Team Two did have the chance to snatch a win with their very last shot but missed an Agari which would have given them the game. The 8-7 win going to Team One. Following the break Team Two came back to the court reinvigorated and scored their first win of the day. Eric McLellan played well making a gate and touch earning an extra shot. He then sparked most of the opponents' balls out of play. Joy Newman also made a gate and touch on the final turn for Team One but it was not enough to give them the win. Honours going to Team Two 11-10.

Game four went the way of Team One to give them bragging rights for the morning.

Their final win, a solid 17-8 win.

WHEATVALE STUMBLE; COLTS POUNCE Ladder leaders Wheatvale stumbled as they met Colts in round six of the Condamine Cup premiership fixtures last weekend.

On their day Colts are capable of beating any side and on Saturday they were at their best. Morgan Bourke and Kiernan opened

the batting and although Kiernan was out cheaply Bourke played an outstanding innings. He remained unbeaten on 85 at the end of a wonderful innings. He was well supported by Maugan Benn (46) Beyleveld (39) and John Cleary added 26 before he was caught by Bourke off the bowling of Colfs.

It seems that some Warwick bowlers, like their Stanthorpe counterparts are having difficulty finding their correct line and length and sundries. 27 wides and two no balls added an unnecessary 30 runs to the Colts score. Wheatvale found themselves chasing 233 for victory.

Wheatvale have played solid cricket in the early stages of the season but on Saturday their form deserted them as the Colts bowlers wrecked the party and did serious damage to some batting averages.

Wheatvale were all out for just 49 as their wickets tumbled with no answers to the bowling attack. Opener Lachy Boal top scored with 15 on what was a sorry score sheet. He was the only batsman to make it to double figures while four failed to trouble the scorer.

John Cleary was the chief destroyer finishing with five wickets for five runs he cut a swathe through the batting line up.

He was well supported by opening bowlers Costello and Beyleveld who took two wickets each.

The win escalates Colts to the top of the competition table and shows that this season the race for the premiership is going to be very open. With the rep season just around the corner Cleary is one player who has firmly staked his claim for a spot.

CLOSE RESULTS; INTERESTING GAMES There were some interesting games at Golf Croquet last week. Liz Ellway (3), Kathy Hopgood (1), and Bev Sullivan (3) had a seven all draw against newcomer Janet Raub (4) and the experienced Di Wren (3).

Sullivan who has a liking for long shots managed a hole in one in this game.

After the break teams were reorganised for the second game resulting in a clear win for Bev Sullivan (6) and partner Janet Raub (1). The pair proved too strong for their opponents who scored only three 3 hoops between them. Final score 7-3.

MARYVALE BUILDING Victoria Hill hosted Maryvale at Allora in the second game of the round. Maryvale have had their slowest start in several seasons look to be finding their feet and are building nicely.

Batting first the opening partnership of Pat (58) and Tom Bourke (46) got the visitors off to a solid start. Youngster Will Gordon added 31 runs while Mick Bourke batting down the order remained not out 45. Kev Bourke added a cameo of 22 as Maryvale finished the innings at 8/247, Jack Morris who was responsible for the dismissal of Pat Bourke, P Gordon and Paul Bourke took 3/52 from his eight over spell. Tom Morris finished with figures of 1/12 from his four overs and was the most economical of the bowlers. Sandhu also took two wickets.

In reply Tom Morris proved a thorn in Maryvale's side scoring 87 runs before he was bowled by Tom Bourke. The bowling honours however were with Will Gordon who took five wickets including a hat trick.

Maryvale went on to win the game by 51 runs but the win was not as easy as it looked on paper. Jack Morris remained not out 18. Nick Morris was one of Gordon's scalps bowled for 23 while he bowled McDonald for 17. Gordon's final three scalps, Morris, Duff and Sandhu were all bowled for ducks.

REDBACKS ON THE BOARD In Game three of the round six Condamine Cup games Redbacks took on Allora at Slade Oval on Sunday and in a welcome

CASEY O’CONNOR

return to form Redbacks posted their first win of the 2019/20 season. It was an exciting game with the result coming down to the final overs.

Batting first Redbacks were dismissed for 153. Steve Grogs impressed in his debut for Redbacks top scoring with 71. He then went on to take 2/18 in the second innings.

Bergmann (35) and Brown (17) also played their part with the bat however it must be said the middle and lower order were shaky at best against the Allora attack.

Bruce Ole was the best of the Allora bowlers taking 2/4 from just one over.

Duggan took 3/44 and Meddleton claimed the scalp of Grogs and finished with 1/4.

In reply Allora opener Tim Kajewski backed up a solid performance last round with a good score of 34. His opening partner, Henderson did not fare as well out for a duck when James Richardson took a screamer of a catch at slip. Richardson then went on to dismiss Kajewski.

The Redbacks' bowling attack had Allora on the ropes before a great knock from Bruce Ole who at the bottom of the order finished not out 49. Ole top scored for Allora and almost pinched the game for his side.

Matt Hamilton had his career best figures of 3/35 which included a double wicket maiden.

In the end it was an eight run win to Redbacks.

McConnell was the best of the Allora bowlers taking 3/17 while Matt Hamilton also finished with three wickets.

RATS GETTING DUCKS IN A ROW We are many weeks away from the start of the 2020 football season but already the Warwick Water Rats are getting their ducks in a row.

Club spokesman Alastair Costello said the club is looking for junior players for next season. The club has previously had a junior competition run by Scots PGC however it is some five years since they had a junior side.

Costello believes that having a junior team would bring more people to the club, raising the profile of thee club and providing a pathway to the senior ranks in the future.

It is a move supported by the head of junior rugby Anthony Savovski. He is a firm believer in children playing a variety of sports to help with their skill and physical development. It also helps build social skills and friendships made in junior sport are often friendships made for life.

The Water Rats are holding their AGM at the club house at Risdon Oval tonight (November 14) commencing at 6.00pm.

Costello is hoping for a good roll up and says that the response on social media to the AGM and to the formation of a junior side has been positive SKILL AND TALENT DISPLAYED There was skill, talent and experience on display during the Ricochet games last week on the Croquet Court in Stanthorpe.

Carol Verwey who partnered Val Fancourt played her long shots with deadly accuracy against Bill Golding. Golding however was in outstanding form and despite the girl's best efforts Golding scored a 26-21 win.

Andrea Denkewitz meanwhile played very consistently in a game against Peter Tunbridge and Sharyn Roser. Roser was quickly out of the blocks scoring two hoops on her first play. That was well backed up by her partner who played some risky but accurate shots to keep them in the lead in the first half. Denkewitz, with a combination of accuracy and strategic attack surged to the lead. Roser scored one more run of two hoops and a run of three.

Tunbridge also had a run of two hoops but it was Denkewitz's day and she won the game 26-17. â—?
