THE LATEST IN NEWS

There will be significant interest in the public release of sections of the Warwick Saleyards master plan by the Southern Downs Regional Council (cover story, pages 4-5).

While the new council administration is showing more openness than their predecessors I still question why indicative costings of the various re-development options for the Saleyards cannot be released publicly.

The Free Times will keep asking.

The Warwick Saleyards is an important piece of public infrastructure and was a key council election issue. Primary producers in both the Warwick and wider areas rightly questioned candidates over their views on the future of the Saleyards after speculation they could either be privatised or their management outsourced refused to go away.

I believe many producers would support improvements such as a covered selling area and other features of the master plan either on the existing site, or at a new ‘greenfield’ location.

What’s most important is that all of the Saleyards users are meaningfully engaged about the future of the facility, whatever that future holds.

WATER CARTING UPDATE...

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk this week re-affirmed a commitment that she will not allow Stanthorpe to run out of town water if dry conditions persist beyond February next year.

Carting of water by truck down the New England Highway from Warwick’s Connolly Dam to Stanthorpe’s Storm King Dam continues - at a cost of $800,000 a month - with sufficient storage currently in Connolly Dam to supply Stanthorpe for the next 23 months, if such a scenario becomes necessary.

Since mid-January of this year between 40 and 50 tanker-loads of water have been trucked out of Connolly Dam each day, with the whole region still on town water restrictions of 120 litres per person/per day.

In late 2019 Ms Palaszczuk said the Queensland Government would fund water carting to Stanthorpe until at least February 2021 but left open the possibility of carting continuing beyond that point.

The Free Times this week asked the Premier for comment on continued supply to Stanthorpe, and progress on a feasibility study into a proposed ToowoombaWarwick water pipeline which would allow our region access to future emergency water from Wivenhoe Dam in Brisbane.

We received the following response from a spokesman “As the Premier said last November, no Queensland community will run out of drinking water,� the spokesman said. “The Government has committed funding estimated to provide for carting (to Stanthorpe) until February next year, well into the next wet season. “DNRME (Dept of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy) is currently working with the Southern Downs and Toowoomba Regional Councils on longer term regional water security - including continuation of carting to Stanthorpe if necessary. “Meanwhile, other work is well progressed on short term water security measures for Stanthorpe. “State funding has, for instance, helped fund a public water conservation campaign and allowed council to identify leaks in existing pipes, which has the potential to save around 100 megalitres of water annually.�

The spokesman also said an “investigation is also almost complete into identifying new bores� but provided no further detail on locations.

No costings have yet been released by the

Water carting from Connolly Dam in Warwick to Stanthorpe continues, with private contractors hauling between 40 and 50 tanker-loads of water each day down the New England Highway. Water “take’’ is recorded on a card-operated “tap and go’’ system installed by the SDRC. The standpipes are located just off the highway south of Warwick at the Connolly Dam Road turn-off. The standpipes allow access to the Connolly Dam pipeline running between the dam and the Warwick water treatment plant. Connolly Dam has been set aside or “sequestered’’ to supply Stanthorpe with town water. government on the Toowoomba-Warwick pipeline. The Free Times has asked the Premier’s office several times for further details.

For its part the Southern Downs Regional Council says it is continuing to investigate potential sources of bore or underground water in the region which could supplement urban dam supplies in the future.

The Free Times has asked the council for details on those investigations, with Mayor Vic Pennisi this week saying he expects the council to release information

in the next several weeks.

According to the latest SDRC water updates Leslie Dam has approximately 29 months’ worth of town water supply for Warwick, Yangan and Allora.

DAM LEVELS AS OF MONDAY OF THIS WEEK ... ¡ Leslie Dam (Warwick) - 13,759ML or 12.95% of capacity ¡ Connolly Dam (Warwick) - 1859ML or 84.8% of capacity ¡ Storm King Dam (Stanthorpe) - 362ML or 17.5% of capacity The Bureau of Meteorology continues to

forecast a wetter-than-average winter for the Southern Downs and Granite Belt. Winter rainfall totals as of this week (Warwick Hermitage, Stanthorpe - Leslie Pde) Warwick ¡ June - 27mm (long-term monthly average 36.2mm ¡ July so far - 17.6mm (long-term monthly average 24.3mm) Stanthorpe ¡ June - 47.4mm (long-term monthly average 46.7mm) ¡ July so far - 7.1mm (long-term monthly average 48mm) �

COVER STORY

The Warwick Saleyards future was a key council election issue in the 2020 campaign.

MASTER PLAN - IN PART

BY JEREMY SOLLARS he Southern Downs Regional Council has publicly released part of a master plan for the Warwick Saleyards - which includes potential future options of either a “significant” upgrade of the existing facility or a brand new saleyards elsewhere on a ‘greenfield’ site.

The future of the Warwick Saleyards was a key election issue during the 2020 council campaign but was a major point of contention during the term of the previous council administration.

In June 2018 former mayor Tracy Dobie gave assurances at a public meeting at the Warwick Town Hall that management of the saleyards would not be outsourced to an external private entity, an option her council administration had examined.

A long-running campaign by the region’s primary producers over the previous 18 months made clear their consensus that the saleyards should remain publicly-owned and operated and managed directly by the council.

Producers expressed concern that a private management entity could increase operational fees for users of the saleyards which could in turn drive both livestock buyers and sellers to other sale facilities or

T

online. Agents were also fearful of a massive spike in affiliation fees which could have forced them to shed staff.

Speculation over the future of the saleyards under a council administration led by Tracy Dobie was re-ignited towards the end of the council election campaign in March of this year when Ms Dobie told a ‘Meet The Candidates’ event at the Warwick Golf Club the Warwick Saleyards could be a “great example” of a “wonderful privatepublic enterprise into the future”.

While her comments were interpreted by many as appearing to leave the door open on re-visiting the future external management - or looking at future full privatisation - Ms Dobie later clarified her position, saying she did “not support the saleyards being sold or being put out for contracted management”.

Then mayoral candidate and current mayor Vic Pennisi also stated publicly during the council election campaign his position on the saleyards was for the facility to remain publicly-owned and directly managed by the council.

The former council did not reveal the identity of a ‘preferred tenderer’ it had identified for the management of the saleyards back in 2018, but it was understood to be Regional Livestock Exchanges (RLX), given they were the authors of a draft fee schedule shown to

local livestock agents and obtained by the Free Times.

The election campaign aside, the council late last week released a key extract of a master plan commissioned - by the Dobie administration - outlining future options for the Warwick Saleyards.

The report compiled by management consultants Wiley was kept confidential by the Dobie administration despite numerous requests by the Free Times for its public release.

In October of 2019 the Free Times submitted a ‘Right To Information’ (RTI) to the council seeking to obtain the master plan along with minutes of a Saleyards Advisory Committee meeting from late August 2019.

Those minutes were partially released but the council refused to release the Wiley master plan on the basis its content were “commercial in confidence”.

The Free Times appealed that decision late last year through the Queensland Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) and - perhaps testimony to the delays frequently involved in the RTI process in Queensland - that appeal has still not been resolved and the original RTI application is still active.

In the meantime the new council administration last week released the first 30

pages of the Wiley master plan but did not release the associated cost estimates of the upgrades proposed, still citing commercial in confidence reasons. The Free Times will continue to pursue the release of those details through the OIC appeals process and negotiations with the council.

But the portion of the Wiley report which has been released gives detailed information on future options for the Warwick Saleyards, and there is general agreement among saleyards users that aspects of the facility require upgrading.

And the option of a brand new facility is likewise sure to generate debate and discussion in the Warwick and wider region’s primary production centre.

The Wiley report states its purpose or “key deliverables” are · To develop a Strategic Master Plan for the facility, informed by the thorough internal and external market analysis (Situational Analysis) and congruent with the vision and mission of the business. · To assess the current operations of the Warwick Saleyards and existing facilities and identify strategies for ongoing operation and improvements, including costings of the Warwick Saleyards. · To complete a systematic and wideranging infrastructure review, including costings.

‘LONG-TERM’ ASSURANCE NEEDED Churches of Christ Care Queensland has given a “categorical” assurance it has not advised the families of any residents of its Inglewood Aged Care facility they will need to re-locate their loved ones to another facility.

The assurance follows several weeks of uncertainty over the future of the 11-person aged care service and a call by Goondiwindi Regional Council Mayor Lawrence Springborg for clarity from Churches of Christ Care.

Families of residents have voiced concern in relation to staff cutbacks at the Inglewood facility and have held fears it may close.

A Churches of Christ Care spokesman this week told the Free Times the Inglewood facility is “continuing to welcome new residents” and is “currently assessing” two such applications to determine the “eligibility” of those prospective residents.

The spokesman said Inglewood Aged Care is currently home to six residents and has capacity for 11.

But the spokesman would not commit to senior Queensland management of Churches of Christ Care meeting with all of the families of existing residents as a group in Inglewood - and with Cr Springborg as he has requested - saying the organisation is in “almost daily” contact with those families on an individual basis.

He would not provide specific details on current or expected staffing numbers at the facility.

“Our leadership team is engaging with

Goondwindi Region Mayor Lawrence Springborg. the families, the residents and the staff on a regular basis,” the spokesman said.

“We understand the anxiety families may be having about their loved ones and in the community but I can provide a categorical assurance we have not advised any of those families they will need to re-locate those residents.

“We are continuing to welcome and accept new residents at the facility.

“There is always a tension between the staffing roster at any aged care facility and the number of residents but the staffing level at Inglewood reflects the number of residents currently there.”

Other than Churches of Christ Care the only aged care option at Inglewood is at the hospital which provides limited spaces.

Cr Springborg this week told the Free Times he had received “conflicting information” from Churches of Christ Care about the future of the Inglewood facility.

“What the community needs is an assurance about the medium- and longerterm future and tenure of the facility, not just the short-term,” Cr Springborg said.

“I wrote to (Churches of Christ Care) senior management two weeks ago seeking a meeting with them and I’m still awaiting correspondence in response.

“I’d be delighted if they’d come to Inglewood, if they’d turn up and answer questions people here have.

“I understand they are managing staff in accordance with occupancy but both the staff and the families of residents need more certainty about what’s happening in the future.

“The aged care facility and the hospital have worked very well together over the last 20 years and that has to be acknowledged.

“Families who have loved ones in that facility are still feeling quite anxious about potentially having to move their family members out of there which I hope will not be the case - they don’t want their spouse or their mum or dad or sister or brother to have to move, especially outside of the Goondiwindi council area.”

In a statement released on Friday 10 July Cr Springborg said he had “received numerous calls” from residents “concerned about the potential closure of the Churches of Christ Care Inglewood Aged Care Service”.

“Certainly this is a very emotive subject and frankly I don’t think the response given so far has been good enough,” Cr Springborg said in his 10 July statement.

“While I acknowledge that CoCC has to make financial considerations about each of its facilities, I am asking that they give the community in Inglewood the transparency and certainty they need to make informed decisions about the future of their - and their loved ones’ - care.

“As a Council, we will be continuing to advocate for the provision of an aged care service in Inglewood.” ● 12455350-CG30-20

ZERO RATES RISE EXPECTED The Southern Downs Regional Council was due to adopt its budget for the 2020-2021 financial year at a special council meeting on Wednesday of this week. More details on our website at www.freetimes.com.au and a special ‘budget edition’ of the Free Times next Thursday 30 July.

Mayor Vic Pennisi had foreshadowed a zero general and utility rates increase for

the first half of the 2020-2021 financial year and a change to issuing of half-yearly rates and utility notices. The first round of rates will be issued in August. Payment terms are expected to be extended by 60 days, with these measures in response to the economic challenges of COVID-19. Rates will be reviewed at the ‘halfway’ point of the financial year.

Cr Pennisi told the Free Times earlier this week the council expects to deliver a “small” surplus as part of the 2020-2021 budget and to reduce the council’s overall debt level by $1.7 million.

The mayor says the budget will also deliver a capital expenditure program worth more than $42 million. Capital expenditure includes projects such as roads and water and wastewater infrastructure. Cr Pennisi has also said the council will also conduct a feasibility study into the installation of ‘smart’ water meters for households in the region. ‘Smart’ meters allow remote electronic reading of meters, ‘real-time’ monitoring of daily and weekly water consumption and can also identify problems in the water supply network such as leaks on both council and private property. ●

NEWS

SOLAR FARM OFFICIALLY OPENED The University of Queensland’s Warwick Solar Farm at Sladevale just north of town was officially opened late last week by Queensland State Development Minister Kate Jones.

The solar farm will supply sufficient electricity to the general state-wide power grid to fully offset power use at the University Of Queensland’s St Lucia Campus in Brisbane on an annual basis.

The project caused controversy in the Warwick area during 2018 and 2019 with community objections over the loss of prime farming land and the visual impact of facility, along with concerns over stormwater run-off on the blacksoil country on which the solar farm is situated.

Construction of the solar farm was completed earlier in 2020 and full power generation is expected to commence in the next few weeks, with final testing of systems almost complete.

The facility will direct electricity into the local Ergon network for use across Queensland but the solar farm does not have capability to provide backup power for Warwick in the event of local blackouts.

Ms Jones said the opening of the $125 million UQ Warwick Solar Farm has enabled Queensland to “claim another global renewable energy title”.

“The project means UQ is the first university in the world to have all of its power come from its own renewable energy asset,” Minister Jones said.

University of Queensland Vice-Chancellor Peter Hoj (left) with State Development Minister Kate Jones and Energy Minister Dr Anthony Lynham at the solar farm opening last Friday.

Picture: SUPPLIED “Queensland is already a world leader in the take-up of household solar rooftops and this is another global energy title.

“The global coronavirus pandemic is impacting economies around the world and Queensland is no different.

“Because Queenslanders have done such a great job fighting coronavirus, we can now focus on delivering Queensland’s plan for economic recovery.

“Backing our renewable energy sector is an important part of that plan - this is about driving down emissions, putting downward pressure on power prices and creating jobs.

“Up to 100 jobs were supported during

the 15 months for construction of the solar farm, with six ongoing operation and maintenance jobs supported for the life of the project and a facility manager based at the site full time.

“The Warwick Solar Farm will support the research and development of innovative new energy solutions such as emerging battery energy storage and hydrogen conversion technologies.”

Queensland Energy Minister Dr Anthony Lynham said the solar farm is “the latest addition to Queensland’s existing suite of renewable energy generation projects”.

“Our renewable energy revolution is

rolling out, providing jobs and lower power prices for Queenslanders,” Dr Lynham said.

“Over the past five years under Labor, 39 large-scale renewable energy projects have commenced operations or are financially committed, creating 5700 jobs in construction.

“Queensland now has 6600 MW of large-scale renewable generation either operational or committed.

“We are forecast to reach 20 per cent renewable generation this year and on target to reach our commitment to 50 per cent by 2030.

“Our publicly-owned clean energy generator CleanCo will continue this growth with its remit to bring on an extra 1000 megawatts of clean energy by 2025.” ● UQ GAVE THE FREE TIMES AN EXTENSIVE TOUR OF THE SOLAR FARM SITE - WHILE THE PROJECT HAS GENERATED MIXED VIEWS LOCALLY IT’S NOW PART OF OUR LANDSCAPE STORY & PHOTOS NEXT WEEK ...

deductions,” she explained “If you worked from home between March1 and June 30, you just need to provide the number of hours in order to calculate your deduction under this new method.

“If your income ceased or reduced due to the pandemic, it’s likely you’ve overpaid your tax and will be entitled to a larger refund, as the tax withholding tables are based on a person earning the same income for a full year.”

Ms Brisotto said if you are an employee on Jobkeeper or are on Jobkeeper there was nothing special to do.

“The JobKeeper payment will form part of your normal Income Statement and in the case of Jobseeker Centrelink will provide us with your Income Statement,” she explained.

“Keep in mind that if you didn’t ask for tax to be withheld from your JobSeeker payment, you may need to pay in your tax return instead.

“If you withdrew super because of COVID-19 there’s nothing special you need to do, as this super release was tax free.”

To help limit the spread and flatten the curve, Power and Tynan are offering video appointments and upload options for Tax Time this year.

“If you’d like your tax done this way, just let our team know when you call the office to make an appointment,” Ms Brisotto said.

Accounting Tax Consulting Wealth Creation Audit

It’s that time of year again - tax time and this time around there are some changes to keep in mind according to the friendly staff at Power and Tynan at Stanthorpe.

Power and Tynan director Gilda Brisotto said these included income statement, $150,000 instant asset write-off for business, working from home deductions, reduced or lost income and jobkeeper, jobseeker and the early release of super.

“Most employers are now using Single Touch Payroll (STP) and therefore will no longer provide PAYG Payment Summaries,” Ms Brisotto said.

“Instead, you can view your Income Statement using myGov. As we can access your Income Statement directly from the ATO, there is no need to provide this document to us.

“For new depreciable assets costing up to $150,000 and purchased between March 12 2020 and 30 June 30 2020, business owners can claim an outright deduction,” she said.

“Please note: the $150,000 instant asset write-off threshold has been extended to December 31 2020. This means, if eligible, you can claim an immediate deduction for the business portion of an asset first used or installed ready for use from July 1 to December 31 2020, in your 2020-21 tax return.”

Ms Brisotto said the COVID-19 pandemic had also affected a few aspects this year.

“As many people were forced to work from home due to COVID-19, the ATO has introduced a new “shortcut method” for calculating working from home

NEW LOOK AND NEW PRODUCTS Granite Belt Insurance Brokers owners, Trent and Lorraine decided that the COVID 19 shutdown would also be an opportunity to spruce up the office.

Owing to people not being able to come into the office during the lockdown, Russ Gain Painting has spread the paint around and Steve and the crew from A1 Stanthorpe Floorcoverings & Lighting, did their magic with new floor throughout the Office and to finish off the job the team from A Betterway to Print showed off their skills with new front window sign work and internal signs.

“Mark and Kevin (A Betterway to Print) have done an awesome job and really assisted us with what worked and what didn’t.” said Lorraine “During the shutdown we have also worked on two very exciting Insurance products; one is cover for hail netting and the other is a specialised crop insurance product that offers cover for any failure of crop production.” Trent announced recently.

The Hail netting cover is expected in early 2021 and the all events insurance for crop may be available as early as November.

Caron and Angie, welcome everyone to the new look office: “The finished workplace has given us a fresh new office to work in. We look forward to showing it off to our clients both old and new,” Caron said.

“Come in and have a chat.”

INGLEWOOD BROCCOLI TAKES FLIGHT The first export of fresh Queensland broccoli from Toowoomba’s Wellcamp Airport to Singapore took off last week in a positive sign for the region’s COVID-19 economic recovery.

Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries Mark Furner said the Palaszczuk Government assisted industry to get the shipment off the ground - namely 1824 kilos of broccoli grown by Qualipac near Inglewood.

The broccoli was picked last Wednesday and by Friday night of last week was on supermarket shelves in Singapore.

Mr Furner said the initial load was “228 boxes, each weighing 8 kilograms, of fresh broccoli packed in ice and two additional shipments are also planned in the near future”.

He said the Queensland Government aims to “make the most of a weekly freight flight subsidised by the Federal International Freight Assistance Mechanism”.

“Like other economies around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic hit Queensland businesses hard,” Mr Furner said.

“We are continuing to manage the health response well and that means we can start to deliver Queensland’s plan for economic recovery.

“The Queensland Government is working closely with industry on the economic recovery of the agriculture and fisheries sectors, including agribusiness exporters who support thousands of jobs.

“Around one in seven Queenslanders are employed in agribusiness and food and we must do all we can to protect those jobs including the $11 billion export market.

“The Department of Agriculture and Fisheries has been working with growers to source fresh produce for the Singapore Airlines flight from Wellcamp Airport, with a view to it becoming commercially sustainable after the coronavirus pandemic.

“Broccoli exports to Singapore were previously done on passenger flights out of Brisbane which are now rare and freight costs are prohibitive.”

Mr Furner said the Department has also been supporting the production of new high value horticultural crops in the Inglewood area and the development of new export markets and logistics options under the Queensland Murray Darling Basin Regional Economic Diversification project. · Producers needing assistance or further information about business opportunities can contact the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries on 13 25 23. ●

$400M IN GRANTS FOR ‘COUNTRY KIDS’ TERTIARY STUDY Federal Maranoa MP and Agriculture Minister David Littleproud says a Coalition Government funding injection of $400 million will “make accessing higher education for our country kids easier”.

“Since 2016, we’ve invested $1 billion in regional education and this additional $400 million for regional and rural higher education is part of our new Job-ready Graduates package,” Mr Littleproud said.

“Brain drain is a real issue where rural communities are being robbed of our young people who move away to larger centres for post-school studies and then continue to build their adult life outside our bush towns - this package works to address these issues.”

Mr Littleproud said students in Maranoa would benefit from programs to reduce the cost of relocating for study, while local universities could access funding programs to boost capacity.

“This government will also provide

David Littleproud. $145 million to grow the number of university places for domestic students at regional campuses and $49 million to boost the research capacity of regional universities,” he said.

“Regionally-based universities play

a critical role in keeping our younger generations in the Bush, providing regional students the opportunity to study closer to home and hopefully continue to live and work in the regions after they graduate.

“Under our Job-ready Graduates package, we will provide a one-off $5000 grant to eligible students from an outer regional, remote and very remote community who have to move more than 90 minutes away from their home to engage in full-time study (Certificate IV qualification or higher) in the year immediately following Year 12.”

The Job-ready Graduates measures for regional Australia include: · $159 million for Tertiary Access Payments to help students from outer regional and remote communities relocate to engage in high-level tertiary studies. · $145 million to fuel faster growth in Commonwealth Grant Scheme funding for regional campuses.

· $49 million to enhance the research capacity of regional universities. · $21 million to expand and strengthen the Regional University Centres program, adding to the 25 centres funded to date. · $17 million to support an additional 1,700 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to go to university by 2024. · $7 million for regional partnerships projects focussed on outreach and aspiration as part of reform of equity funding to better support regional and remote students. · $6 million to establish a Regional Education Commissioner with associated projects and support to oversee and coordinate the Government’s regional education efforts.

SPRING LAUNCH FOR ART FESTIVAL

Granite Belt Art and Craft Trail organiser Rosy Chapman, Karina Devine, Warwick Art Gallery Director and artist Nikki Malone (in Nikki’’s Warwick Studio). the foundation for boosting our regional economy.”

The Granite Belt Art and Craft Trail and the Condamine Country Art and Craft Trail Open Studios Events follow trail maps to discover a variety of local artists, as they exhibit at studios and galleries as well as taking up residence in community spaces.

Participants can enrol in a class, watch a

demonstration and can get in and have a go.

GBART organiser Rosy Chapman was inspired by the Silo Art Trail, which resulted in international media attention, an influx of tourists to the region, and expansion of the trail into a 200-kilometre-long outdoor art gallery.

Today the Silo Art Trail has expanded into SA, NSW, WA and Qld, and delivers

ongoing benefits to tourism in each region.

GRANITE BELT ART AND CRAFT TRAIL · When: Fri 30 October to Sun 1 November · Where: Stanthorpe and surrounds · Time: Open 10am-4pm and by appointment · Contact: gb.art.trail@gmail.com or phone 0417 727 997 (Rosy Chapman)

In a much-anticipated boost to the Southern Downs economy this October will see artisans, visitors and locals alike come together to celebrate the wealth of creatives in its midst with a trail of art trails.

These back-to-back open studio events are expected to surpass the well-known Silo Art Trail.

Granite Belt Art and Craft Trail organiser Rosy Chapman says they are “thrilled to partner with Condamine Country’s inaugural Art and Craft Open Studio Trail event, held over 17 and 18 October 2020”.

“Our trail of trails will provide a fully immersive experience of the rich tapestry of culture, talent, history and artefacts in the Southern Downs,” she said.

“In 2020, so many Australians are looking to holiday here this year in support of regional economies.

“It’s so beautiful up here now and it seems that this will be the year of road trip adventures for many Australians.”

SOUTHERN FREE TIMES 21

NEWS The Covid-19 pandemic, social isolation, quarantine and border closures came to a shock to many Australians. However, these drastic measures are not without precedent. In 1919 an eerily similar scenario played out as Queensland authorities battled to repel the Spanish Influenza, as this article written by DR ANASTASIA DUKOVA of the Queensland Police Museum demonstrates.

2020 HAS ECHOES OF EARLIER VIRUS In the last months of 1918, Australia was preparing for an outbreak of a novel influenza. The Commonwealth Government became aware of the new virus in July that year. Locally, it was known as ‘Pneumonic Influenza’ but internationally, it was called the ‘Spanish Influenza’. Spain was mistakenly identified as the origin of the outbreak when the Spanish king fell ill, and reports of his sickness emerged. In reality, pockets of disease were registered at the London Hospital and Aldershot barracks from 1915 onward. The disease first reached epidemic proportions in garrisons throughout the US in 1918. It then travelled with the American troops to France and eventually across Europe.

In November 1918, the federal conference in Melbourne regulated Australia’s response to the looming health-threat. Ships that arrived with an infected person aboard were massinoculated and quarantined. The first case on shore was registered in January 1919, in Melbourne. Soon after, the virus spread to Sydney. Anticipating an outbreak, the Australian states gradually closed borders.

While trying to curtail the spread, the Commonwealth Government ordered compulsory inoculations of its staff. Some refused to comply.

In February 1919, Queensland applied to the Commonwealth Government for a restraining order to prevent returning troops from landing at a mainland quarantine station. Nevertheless, on 4 February, 260 soldiers landed and were quarantined at Lytton. Four soldiers broke quarantine that very night.

The disease was extraordinarily virulent, with a mortality rate of 2.5% among the infected. There were reports of people seeming healthy in the morning and dead by evening. It was more common for the illness to last 10 days followed by weeks of prolonged recovery. A range of sources all described the early signs of infection as ‘a chill or shivering, followed by headache and back pain.

Eventually, an acute muscle pain would overcome the sufferer, accompanied by some combination of vomiting, diarrhoea, watering eyes, a running or bleeding nose, a sore throat and a dry cough.’

Cyanosis, a bluish tinge to the skin, was a tell-tale sign of this infection. The flu, or grippe, infected roughly 2 million Australians in a population of about 5 million.

Despite a range of preventative actions, widespread infection and quarantine measures led to significant food and medical supplies shortages. Brisbane saw its water supply installation interrupted (every link in the work chain broke down because of the virus). Telephone exchange was disrupted, telegraph, postal services, banks and gas supply.

Annual reports presented by Police Commissioner Urquhart to the Parliament indicated Queensland police resources were stretched. Although the department nearly caught up with the personnel shortages following the war, there were still not enough officers ‘to meet requirements and carry a full 8-hour day’.

BORDERS CLOSED From late January to May 1919, the Queensland and New South Wales border 22 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES

The Quarantine Camp set up at Wallangarra, 1919.

The police camp at Hungerford during the influenza epidemic, February 1919. was closed to help stop or at least slow, the spread of the Influenza virus into the state.

The Health Acts 1900 to 1917, authorised the Queensland Commissioner of Public Health to issue regulations for state intervention of a person’s civil rights such as mandatory examination, detention and isolation of anyone likely to have been infected or who had been in contact with anyone sick. In1919, regulations issued by John Moore, the Commissioner of Public Health, empowered Police Officers to use reasonable force required to prevent any breach, or to apprehend any person, who had committed or was suspected of committing a breach of the public health laws.

On 28 January 1919, Queensland Police Commissioner Urquhart issued instructions to stop all persons from crossing into Queensland from New South Wales.

Inspectors at Toowoomba and the Depot were directed to provide necessary help to all border stations by means of extra men and horses. Soon after, an additional officer was sent to the border towns of Coolangatta and Wallangarra. Eventually,

The Roma Police Station.

11 more officers from the Depot were sent to Coolangatta, equipped with 2 Bell tents, 22 brown blankets and 11 x bush rugs, waterproof sheet, pillows and slips and bed covers, for their accommodation and use.

Initially Coolangatta, Wallangarra and Goondiwindi were the only towns with dedicated border crossing points under Pneumonic Influenza Regulations. Though Wallangarra camp was located entirely within the territory of New South Wales, it was run by the Queensland government and health officials. The government’s decision to rigidly adhere to only three entry points resulted in a significant number of applications for exemptions from the public. In the face of such pressure, the government soon relented and established a medical screening process allowing bona fide Queenslanders to return to the state via Wompah, Hungerford, Wooroorooka, Adelaide Gate and Mungindi.

Border patrols were also operating out of Killarney, Stanthorpe, Texas and Hebel among other locations.

During one of these patrols, Constable George Ruming (Reg No 1217) was

seriously injured on duty. Constable Ruming was ‘patrolling the borders to enforce the quarantine regulations in the vicinity of Hungerford, when his horse fell and he was badly hurt, being knocked unconscious.’ He resigned from duty in October.

Between March and June 1919, 16 men were charged with breaching Pneumonic Influenza Regulations with fines ranging from £2 to £20.Most men charged were locals with the addition of two sailors from British Columbia, Canada.

An outbreak among the police stationed in Petrie Terrace and Roma Street barracks in Brisbane followed in mid-May 1919. In Petrie Terrace 25 out of 44 policemen had to be hospitalised and 20 out of 117 men got sick in Roma Street. The total strength of ordinary constables in Brisbane stood at 269. This means a third of that number, or approximately 90 constables, would have been available for the round-theclock 8-hour-shift to police a population of 190,000. A loss of nearly 50 men to infection would have been an extraordinary strain on the department. freetimes.com.au

FIRST DEATHS Constable Michael Joseph Flynn (Reg No 988; 2231), who was stationed at Petrie Terrace depot when he got sick, was the first police officer to die from Influenza. He died few days after hospitalisation at the Isolation Hospital set up in the Exhibition Grounds. Constable Flynn’s family was also hospitalised, a week earlier. Michael’s wife, Mary Beatrice, succumbed to the disease soon after being admitted, on 12 May. One of their two children was reported to be in critical condition.

Mary Agnes was 4-years-old at the time and Michael was 6. They both survived the infection.

On 1 June, Constable Hubert James Kelly, who was assigned to Mungindi Border Patrol from 2 February 1919, returned to Roma. Constable Kelly was severely asthmatic and a regular tippler which seemed to help him cope with his asthma. Kelly returned unwell and given his respiratory issues his condition deteriorated quickly. He was placed on sick leave on 6 June, but his health worsened again and rapidly. Kelly died four days later at the hospital, on 10 June 1919.

The official cause of death was Influenza and heart failure. Kelly’s death devastated his family, wife Mary Bridget nee Maguire and two sons aged 5 and 6 years old, personally and financially. Kelly’s wife received a lump sum payment of £191/12/6 but as there was no widows’ pension fund to support families of the deceased officers, the family was soon in financial distress. In November 1921, Mary Kelly applied to be a female searcher at the Brisbane Watchhouse as she was advised there was a vacancy, however, she was misinformed.

On 11 June Acting Sergeant Hennessy and Constable Muir of Toowoomba Police Station were taken to the hospital suffering from influenza. They both recovered.

The total death toll for the force was two officers, Constables Flynn and Kelly.

The same week, on 14 June 1919, Dr Clark inoculated the Cairns police contingent, most likely with little effect, as agreed-upon standards for vaccines were still lacking. However, if nothing else, these vaccination attempts helped ‘to deconstruct existing biomedical knowledge’ which undoubtedly aided epidemiological advances that benefit us today.

Tracker Corporal Sam Johnson was another Queensland Police Force casualty of the outbreak. Johnson was stationed in Longreach when he contracted the virus and died on 22 June 1919. Born about 1877 in Charleville in western Queensland, Sam was a member of the Bidjara people. He was a highly respected horseman and tracker with a quiet and sincere disposition, well built, and fit. He gained renown in 1902 following his role in the Kenniff brothers’ case and murders of Constables Doyle and Dahlke.

The trial of the Kenniffs included significant and damning evidence by Sam Johnson.

Being the sole survivor of the police party that arrived at Lethbridges Pocket, Sam was subjected to intense cross examination attempting to discredit his testimony.

Johnson was survived by his wife, Limerick, who moved to the Rockhampton area later in 1919, where she died in 1921 and was interred at the Rockhampton Cemetery.

BORDER PATROL All officers on border patrol had to keep an individual diary, while Inspectors and Sub-Inspectors were required to report to the Commissioner on a weekly basis.

These notes revealed that Constable Gray stationed at Adelaide Gate, Charleville freetimes.com.au

A Queensland Government Gazette update on the influenza outbreak.

A letter informing of Constable Kelly’s death.

Police District was provided with three camels by Lucas Hughes, the manager of the Nockatunga Station. The camels were said to be the only means available to Gray for border patrolling through the Western Desert Country. He had to employ an Aboriginal man from the station to help handle the animals. One camel later died, and the owner was compensated £20 for the death. Elsewhere in the Charleville district, border patrol officers had the use of three Howard brand bicycles.

In recognition of the arduous duties performed by the patrol policemen, every day for duration of the border closures, each officer’s pay was supplemented by 7/- per day. The men were at the higher risk of

infection due to likely exposure to infected persons.

In late March 1919, Mungindi seems to have become a hot spot for Border Breakers, including women and children.

In early May, the virus finally crossed into Queensland and soon after the government re-opened the borders, as the authorities were no longer able to justify the lock down despite the appeals to keep the borders shut.

As a result, all border patrol officers were recalled back to their usual stations.

Penalties for breaching Pneumonic Influenza Regulations ranged from fines of two to 20 pounds to short term imprisonment. In one case, from 12 February 1919, a man travelled to Blackall from the southern border over

600 kilometres, before he was located.

He was subsequently isolated for 7 days and then prosecuted for breaching the regulations. The offender admitted to crossing the border at Mungindi, walking to Dirranbandi, then back to Thallon via Warwick, Toowoomba and Brisbane before being arrested at Blackall.

In 1997, the 1918 pneumonic influenza was identified as the H1N1 Influenza A of swine and human subgroup. It is now part of a routine vaccination program.

SPINNERS & WEAVERS SHOP OPEN The Warzwick Spinners & Weavers Group Inc have a ‘pop-up’ shop open on Palmerin Street this week running until Saturday with plenty of winter woollies on sale to the public.

And it’s also an opportunity for anyone who’s interested in learning new craft skills to connect with the group and get ‘handson’ not only with spinning and weaving but also crochet, knitting, felting and dyeing.

The shop is open at the former Skehan’s Menswear premises at 107 Palmerin Street from 9.30am to 3.30pm today, Thursday, and on Friday and Saturday of this week.

The Spinners & Weavers have been a mainstay of Warwick’s Jumpers and Jazz in July Festival since its inception - but with the Festival cancelled this year due to COVID-19 they’re still keen to showcase their wares and encourage new members.

The friendly group was formed in the 1970’s and currently has around 30 active members.

Their interests and skill sets encompass a wide variety of textile crafts - but the one thing that unites them is a passion for fibres

of both the natural and man-made varieties, and they love to share their knowledge and ideas.

Recycling of pre-loved materials of all kinds is also very much in vogue.

As well as being practical - check out the array of clothing and accessories available at their outlet this week - the Spinners & Weavers say textile work is also “therapeutic and relaxing”.

The social aspect is just as important, with many firm friendships having been formed over the years.

They welcome anyone who’d like to learn a new craft or extend their skills in their chosen textile field - the Warwick Spinners & Weavers Group Inc gets together at the community rooms near St Mark’s Anglican Church Hall off Grafton Street · Wednesdays: 9am - 1pm · 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month: 9am - 1pm Feel free to drop in at those times - all are welcome.

BEATRICE HAWKINS

STORIED EUCALYPT OF MANY NAMES As I drive around this southern area of NSW I have seen a species of eucalypt I hadn’t notice previously. As I looked it up I have found that it is commonly called “ribbon gum” because of the way it sheds its bark.

Long “ribbons” of bark fall from the tree and are caught in the branches and collect there high up in the canopy as well as all the way down.

Maybe that’s why many of the trees in the fire area have been burnt so badly. Not only was there a huge body of fuel at ground level, there was also fuel all the way up to near the tops of the trees. In dense stands of trees the fire would very quickly spread from tree to tree via these natural, very dry, bark collections.

As we know, fire does spread rapidly through eucalypt forest because of the oil content, add this large bark fuel source as well and a real recipe for disaster is there. I am told by the locals that these collections of bark ignite like a torch and burn fiercely as the fire goes through.

There are many common names for this medium to large tree. White gum, for its flowers and bark, manna gum, as it was used for honey, gum and medicinal purposes

by Indigenous people, mountain gum, for where it grows, snow gum and many more.

It is very different to the snow gum that I know as it is a tall erect tree rather than the lower growing, many branched, weather

trees!

Another of my favourite shrubs and one I have had in a couple of the cold climate gardens I have enjoyed as we shifted around, is the lilac.

I have enjoyed the perfume and the colour of this lovely shrub as both a single and double, white, deep purple and the more common pale mauve or “lilac”. It is one of the first shrubs to flower and a real harbinger of spring. They are frost and drought hardy once established and like full sun but will tolerate part shade at the expense of flowers. Good, well drained, garden soil will keep them happy and pruning after flowering will ensure an abundance of blooms the following season as they flower on old wood. Too much fertiliser in the winter may cause them to have less flowers in spring.

Interestingly, they are a member of the olive family and are now native to the scrub from Southeaster Europe to eastern Asia, but may have been brought to Europe by the Ottomans. They were named by the famed Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus in the 18th Century. The genus name, Syringa Vulgaris, is a mixture of two languages. Syringa from the Greek word for pipe or tube and vulgaris from the Latin meaning “common”.

They are available these days, thanks to our plant breeders, in a wide range of colours and sizes to suit most situations.

A decorative piece of the landscape down south... beaten tree that you typically see in the snow areas.

The botanical name is eucalyptus viminalis and I am reliably informed by the locals that it is not a good fencing timber, as it rots quickly in the ground, and also that it is not a good timber for firewood. It is used for flooring, joinery and cabinetry and as wood pulp. It is, however, a decorative addition to the landscape among the other

PARISH ADMINISTRATION OFFICER

MORO Nola Jean

Beloved wife of the late Luigino ‘Lui’ Moro.

Cherished mother and mother-in-law of Joanne and Kevin Bourne, Leisa and Henry Zeppa.

Adored grandmother of Shanice, Mitchell, Troy and Jaylee, Ebony and Tom. Loved brother of Owen.

A celebration of Nola’s life will be held in the Tuscany Room, Stanthorpe International Club, 10am Wednesday 29th July, 2020.

To be followed by the Rite of Christian Burial at the Stanthorpe Cemetery.

Japanese lilac appears to be the tallest growing while Korean lilac is a dwarf form.

Colours vary from white through pinks, deep purples and magenta depending on what you choose, and flowers as either a single or double form.

Lilacs can be grown from seed and while this is not a particularly complicated procedure, it may take several years for these seedlings to flower. If you really are keen to germinate some seeds you will need a fair amount of time. Firstly, soak the seeds for at least 12 hours. Then put them in a bag with some perlite and refrigerate them for a couple of months to imitate winter!

Following this chilling, plant them into some seed raising mix, put them somewhere where the temperature will be fairly constant and after about a month or so your seedlings may appear.

Sorry, this is too time-consuming for this gardener, especially as I would then potentially have to wait several years for the shrub to flower! I think I’ll just go visit my favourite nursery and by an already established plant.

Don’t forget your gardens in the winter and have them ready for the annual garden competition in October, along with entries in the Spring Flower Show and designs ready for the decorated window displays for Rodeo weekend ... all things to look forward to and keep us occupied. ●

CASEY O’CONNOR

NRL AT HALFWAY MARK...

Against the odds the NRL competition has passed the halfway mark of the 2020 season. As the competition stumbled past the milestone and into the second stanza of the season supporters of all three Queensland teams will need counselling if the appalling performances continue.

All I can offer is, thank heavens for the Sunshine Coast Melbourne Storm.

The best that can be said about the Titans is, they helped the Melbourne Storm settle into their new home at Sunshine Coast Stadium. The Titans were simply outclassed but their performance was nothing compared to the rubbish the Brisbane Broncos served up.

The Broncos celebrated the halfway milestone by turning in what has to be the club’s worst ever on field performance.

Just when, according to well placed sources, Coach Seibold had been given a performance-based ultimatum, apparently even better placed sources at the club deny the rumour.

On Monday came the news that in spite of a far improved performance by the Cowboys, there had been a high noon duel between Club and Coach. Paul Green was not the last Cowboy left standing.

He parts ways with the club he led to its maiden premiership apparently on good terms and at a time of his choosing rather than at the end of the season.

The Cowboys become the third NRL team in 2020 to pull the trigger on their Coach.

Green’s departure highlights the undisputable fact that despite past successes, the NRL is a results driven business. He now joins Stephen Kearney (Warriors) and Dean Pay (Bulldogs) on the 2020 coaches bench but looks well placed to quickly find a new home.

It begs the question so many Broncos supporters are asking “What is saving Anthony Seibold’s bacon and how bad does it have to get before the Broncos load their gun?

As Spin is finalised, the Broncos are holding their AGM. The Brisbane Broncos like any publicly listed company answers to shareholders and some decisions made in the recent past are sure to come under scrutiny. freetimes.com.au

Graeme Warner is a picture of concentration during the final of the Summit Bowls Men’s Singles Championships on Sunday.

The biggest private investor in the Broncos, Property tycoon Phil Murphy has already taken aim at the club’s lack of direction and leadership.

Directors, Board Members, CEO’s and Coaches can’t take the field in games but their decisions certainly influence the culture and health of a club. Sadly, the Broncos appear to be on life support.

There is no excuse to be found for their performance by looking at their injury count. Other club’s face similar predicaments with injury filled casualty wards and key players out for the season.

Players in those teams are “putting in” often finding a way against the odds to be, at the least competitive.

As Murphy said earlier in the week, “ Everybody goes through tough times but if you are backed into a corner, you don’t lay down. “Watching some of those tries over recent months, it makes you crook in the guts.”

There is little or no sign of commitment

or fight in the Broncos players. Fans will be hoping following the much touted player shake up this week, some “E” for Effort will be apparent against Melbourne / Sunshine Coast Storm.

If not, another high noon duel may soon be brewing. This time in the Broncos’ O.K. corral despite those strenuous denials.

Casey CHAMPIONSHIP SINGLES AT SUMMIT Bowlers from the Summit Bowls club played the Men’s Champion Singles last weekend.

The championship event was played over two days and bowlers could not have ordered more perfect conditions for one of the club’s blue-ribbon events.

Congratulations to the last man standing - Men’s Champion Graeme Warner who in the end had a comfortable win over finalist Darren Stanley. Warner who lives in Tenterfield but is a member of the Summit Club played well throughout the

comepitition and was never headed in the final game.

In the opening round on Saturday morning Frank Taylor had a 26-16 win over Tony Schubert. Jamie Zamprogno played Carl Sutherland - final score 26-19. Paul Zamprogno had a 25-16 win over Rocky Thompson. Darren Stanley had a 25910 over Mick Mills (not his alter ego Paul).

Michael Sweeney defeated Brian Wilmot 26-12. John Graham played Dan Shipman and scored a comfortable 26-9 win over Dan Shipman while Tyler Sweeney defeated Brian Brown 25-10.

The winners progressed to the quarter finals which were played on Saturday afternoon. In this round Frank Taylor defeated Jamie Zamprogno 25-10. Graeme Warner progressed to the semi final with a 25-19 win in his game against Paul Zamprogno. Darren Stanley played well to claim a 25-8 win in his game against Michael Sweeney and in the final pairing Tyler Sweeney defeated John Graham 25-5.

THE SPIN From previous page Saturday’s quarter final winners backed up Sunday morning in a semi final round that saw some very competitive bowls were played. The game between Darren Stanley and Tyler Sweeney went right to the wire. Stanley progressed to the afternoon final after scoring a 25-24 win.

In the second semi final Graeme Warner continued his good form and scored a more comfortable26-18 win.

The final was played in summer-like conditions after the lunch break. Warner held a handy lead early in the game and despite some good bowling from Darren Stanley the honours went the way of Warner. The final score 26-13.

Two games of mixed social bowls were played on Saturday afternoon for the ladies and those bowlers not involved in the Championships.

In the pairs Rod Newlands and Eliseo Zamprogno defeated Elana Scott and Dale Calligan 20-12. In the triples game Andy McGlashan, Pam Moore and Tony Schubert had a narrow win over Artillio Zamprogno Valda Newlands and Tina Schubert. (score 11-10).

A reminder that nominations for the A and B mixed three bowl pairs close this Saturday July 25 with games to be played over the weekend of August 1.

Social Bowls return on Sunday morning and will revert to Friday afternoon in the summer month.

Congratulations to all those involved in the preparation of the greens for last weekend’s Championship. The greens were immaculate and a credit to The greens were turned out in wonderful condition and those involved in their preparation over the past weeks should take a bow.

WARWICK GYMNASTIC CLUB -NOT JUST FOR KIDS The Warwick Gymnastic Club has been around for over 50 years now and while most people associate the word ‘gymnastics’ with children, the local gymnastics club offers so much more.

There are of course recreational and competitive gymnastics classes for kids, and afternoon classes run five days a week for school aged children. Gymnastics however is not something you need to start at a young age, there are classes for all ages, fitness, flexibility and skill levels.

Something that is not well known is the Warwick Gymnastics Club have classes

available for toddlers, adults, injured or disabled people and retirees.

Toddlers, Tiny Tumblers ‘can begin at 18 months of age. Classes run on a variety of mornings after the older kids are at school and are parent assisted.

One of the most popular classes the club offers is ‘Fitter for Life’. Anyone can participate and at the moment the oldest member of this group is 86. Age certainly is no barrier. The program focuses on keeping or reclaiming balance and prevent falls in the older generations. Studies show quality of life declines rapidly after in aged people once falls begin. Everything is soft at a gymnastics club, and it is the perfect place for fragile or injured people to exercise those joints and keep them working.

It is also a great source of self-paced exercise too, and there is a huge social aspect to the classes. The club understands the financial constraints of injured and retired people so these classes run on donations, generally gold coin.

For the in-betweeners, there is ‘GymFit 15+’. This is essentially an adult’s class using the apparatus throughout the gym for high energy, freestyle and obstacle course training.

Classes are self-paced, allowing and you do what you can as your fitness, flexibility and agility develops. These classes run in the evenings after the kids classes.

The Club is located at 29 Easey Street, Warwick and can be contacted on 07 4661 9852, or admin@warwickgymnastics.com. au. More details can be found by visiting the club’s webpage, Facebook or Instagram.

SIR BEEFY IN THE LORDS? Is Beefy Botham set to take a seat at Lords - no not the cricket ground, the House of Lords. There is rumour that Sir Ian is soon to be elevated to lordship status and could therefore take a seat in that other Lords.

Botham was knighted in 2007 not for his contribution to cricket but for his charity work, raising millions of pounds for Leukaemia Research.

If he is to elevated to the peerage, it would be some achievement for the young man from Yeovil who once served on the MCC ground staff at Lord’s &mdash; the cricketing Lord’s that is.

As a young player Botham was sent by the Somerset Club to Lord’s in part because the club like many others in the Counties could not afford to pay many of their young players. Those dispatched to Lord’s were not considered to be the cream of the crop.

Many failed to make it to county cricket

Sir Ian (Beefy) Botham looks set to make the transition from ground’s staff at Lords to a seat in the House of Lords if reports of an impending peerage are correct. He is pictured with Spin’s Casey O’Connor at a function at the Gabba.

never mind beyond; (ouch Botham was one that clearly got away).

Botham cleaned boots, washed pavilion windows, hauled the tarpaulin covers on and off the field, and pulled the heavy roller.

He was also required after morning training to bowl in the nets to any MCC member that demanded the service. It’s not too much of a stretch to understand that what he perceived as servitude to the Lord’s players did not sit well with Botham.

In the nets he was known to take the Mickey - bowling full tosses and bouncers trying to hit the batsmen - in one of his first &mdash; but by no means last &mdash; acts of rebellion against authority.

Hard to believe that of the mild mannered Beefy - never.

Botham like many other players from the “Home Counties” viewed Lord’s as a bastion of cricketing and social privilege. When he was overlooked as the English captain he complained “a bunch of southern publicschool smoothies are determined that no miner’s son from Yorkshire will captain England.”

Botham of course had the last laugh and now the worm will have completely turned if that miner’s son who is now Sir Ian ends up in the House of Lords. I wonder if that bastion of the landed gentry, the House of Lords is ready for Beefy Botham and a few well-placed bouncers.

Watching Sir Beefy serve it up to the House of Lords could become a new spectator sport. At the very least you would think it would spice up their parliamentary sittings.

BACK ON THE GREEN Members of the Stanthorpe Bowls Club will finally return to the greens this week.

The bowlers have not played since the introduction of the COVID 19 restrictions will be back in teh swing of things this Saturday. Play commences at 1.00pm and interested players are asked to confirm their attendance by contacting Len on 0477500402 no later than12.30pm Saturday.

Of course, it goes without saying that all COVID Return to Play Rules must be strictly adhered to.

BEANIES FOR FOGGY SPORTERS Stanthorpe Sporters were back on the course on Sunday morning after a wet and soggy course forced many players to remain in bed the previous week. Beanies looked to be the fashion item of choice as the players headed down the fairway in foggy and cool conditions.

The eventual winner Hamish Adam chose to forgo the beanie opting for a cap and shorts not so his playing partner son Ben. Runner up on Sunday was John Rawlings. Aaron Simmers figured in the run down. Players will tee off again this Sunday between 7.30 and 8.00am. Visitors are always welcome to join the crew as are any newcomers to the game.

GOOD CONDITIONS -CLEAR SHOTS The Southern Downs Rifle Club held a shoot last Sunday. The fine weather and excellent conditions resulted in some good scores.

Murray Reck had an excellent day scoring well. A score of 124.9 was good enough to give him a win in the 500 yard F Class. to record a win with Richard McKillop was not far off and with a score of 123.10 took out second place.

Full results of the shoot:- Murray Reck (124.9); Richard McKillop (123.10);Kevin Jones (121.6) Neil Sexton (120.6); Bruce McAllan (116.5); Trevor Jones (116.2); Greg Wilson (114.3); Margaret Taylor (112.3); Rob Smythe (106.2); Daryl Reck (106.1); Trevor Smith (104.1); Dave Taylor dnf (ammo problems).

This Sunday July 26, shooters will be at the 600 yard mound. Sign on is 8.30am for a 9am start . If you require further information contact Margaret on 4666 1018.

TINY TUMBLERS PROGRAMME AVAILABLE Gymnastics is a sport we normally associate with slightly older children but it can be a great source of entertainment with health benefits as well for the littlies among us.

The local Warwick Gymnastic club holds special classes for toddlers.

Toddlers can begin at around 18 months of age. These are the aptly named ‘Tiny Tumblers. Classes are held in the morning and parents are encouraged to assist their children through the activities and obstacles.

Of course, they can join in if they wish.

Gymnastics is not something you associate with Seniors but the Warwick Gymnastic Club’s programme for Seniors is proving very popular. freetimes.com.au

email: wickets-stpe@bigpond.com

Gymnastics is not necessarily something associated with the very young and while it is not necessarily an activity that you need to take up at a young a very young age there are plenty of benefits for toddlers. The Tiny Tumblers activities assist in the development of fine and gross motor skills and help toddlers to be active and social while having heaps of fun jumping, bouncing and tumbling around the shapes and in the foam pits. The classes are designed for parents and children and parents can choose to either guide their child through the sessions, or join in which ever they prefer.

Of course, there is another upside for parents - it is a great activity to tire them out before their morning nap.

Classes have resumed following the COVID-19 shut-down and the club is looking for interest from parents to get more classes and days open as soon as possible.

CRAZY CLARK’S POPULAR Clark’s Crazy Bowls is proving popular among bowlers at the Southern Cross Club in Warwick. 24 bowlers were on the greens competing last Saturday afternoon.

Bill Lee and Barry Frame took the honours had the highest score after the three rounds. The five points they scored on the final end certainly helped and there were smiles all round when they were presented with bottles of Chardonnay supplied by Val Gray.

Good to see Thea Francis back in the winner’s circle again she and Steve Tyter received meal vouchers from the Criterion Hotel for their runner’s up performance.

On the subject of food a big thank you to the ladies who I am told put on another fabulous afternoon team.

Daphne Cross won the lucky sweep but unfortunately she did not take up the suggestion by the other punters to “out the cash on the bar”.

The Ladies are hosting a Social Mixed Bowls afternoon, today (Thursday July 23) commencing at 1.00om. Everyone is welcome and this is a great opportunity for new players to give the game a try. Bowls are supplied and all the help is available so if you have been considering taking p bowls why not pop along and give t a go.

UNDEFEATED SIDES DO BATTLE AT ST ALBANS The two undefeated U16/17 B teams in the Toowoomba Football Association comepitition, the Warwick Wolves and St Albans went head to head for the first time this season in a game played on St Albans home ground on Saturday. The combined Warwick / Stanthorpe side was were coming off a tough 2-1 win over West Wanderers.

St Albans had enjoyed a 5-2 victory over Highfields at their previous outing.

In the early stages of the game, the Wolves looked to be intimidated by the size and physicality of the St Albans team allowing them to dominate field position. freetimes.com.au

As Wolves found their feet and began playing to their structure they created their fair share of chances and were rewarded when Jacob Walters scored 15 minutes into the half giving his side an early 1-nil lead.

Full of confidence after the goal, the Wolves continued their assault on the St Albans goal with strong midfield play from Lachlan Hogan and Harry Whittaker who created plenty of opportunities for Walters. It was not long before Walters turned opportunity into points scoring his second goal shortly before the halftime break.

Wolves keeper, Joey Brown faced a penalty shot from St Albans leading goal scorer but there was relief when the ball sailed high above the net allowing the Wolves a half time lead of 2-0.

St Albans came out firing in the second half and kept Brown busy in goals. Their persistence eventually paid dividends with a goal 10 minutes into the second half narrowing the Wolves’ lead to two-one and it was game on.

To their credit, the young Wolves side did not panic. They settled and began pushing the ball around. Ethan Zamprogno showed that he will easily fit into the team with a polished performance in his first game. He was well supported by Bryon Whittaker and Mick Westerhout in the backline.

George Greenaway was rewarded for his selfless hard work when he scored the Wolves third goal. Noah Dwan rounded out the scoring with a well taken strike from well outside the box to secure a four-one victory for the Wolves.

Joey Kelly worked hard off the ball creating some great chances for his fellow forwards and received the Man of the Match award in his first game for the team. It was not an easy decision with so many players putting their hand up in what was a very strong team performance.

CONSISTENCY THE KEY FOR WINNERS The Warwick Ladies golfers played the Warwick Sandstone white Stableford event on Wednesday July 15. A field of 19 hit the fairways and the club wishes to thank Wendy and her business for the sponsorship provided by her business.

The consistent play of Tub Ingall and Annice Payne was a highlight of the round as the pair returned the two best scores of the day. Tub Ingall with a score of 34 points was the overall winner. Jill Barnes took the honours on the front nine with a score of 19 points. Annice Payne starred on the back nine scoring 17 points.

Rundown balls went to Sharron Cooper (31), Janine Stewart (30) and the extra balls in lieu of pins went to Dian MacDonald, Mel McLennan and Majella Kahler (28) and Ellie Casey (27) Last Saturday the Coffee Club sponsored the single Stableford competition off the red markers The round was played in ideal conditions and resulted in some great scores, especially from the winner Di Evans with a score of 40 points and runner-up Sharron Cooper with 39 points.

The two balls in the rundown went to Yvonne Pinington and Danielle Seibel ( 37).

The remaining four balls went to G Mills (36), J Barnes (35), L Carey, and E Casey (33).

While 17 ladies were playing this Stableford, the semi-final of the President’s Foursomes Matchplay was in play. Again there were some close and exciting games.

Tub Ingliss and Annice Payne continued their winning form to score a 3/1 win over Mary Young and Judy Lester.

Molly Scotney and Liz Cockram finished one up in their battle with Mel McLennan and Anna Cox

It was a closely fought match and it was only on the 18th hole that Liz and Molly were able to secure the win to finish one up. Congratulations to both teams for the competitive spirit they showed. A big thank you from the organisers to the officials and the ladies who came out to support the four players.

The day concluded with a presentation on the deck and a coffee/drink and afternoon tea. Head to the club’s Facebook page for some great photos taken during the afternoon.

UNITED SUFFER LOSS TO TOP SIDE After a promising win in their opening game in the Toowoomba Premiers League, Stanthorpe United suffered a narrow loss to top ranked team Rockville last weekend.

Despite the loss United played well and should not be disappointed with their performance.

The Redbacks took a 1-0 lead when Hunter Murphy latched onto a well-placed Simon Mascadri corner 20 minutes into the game.

There were plenty of opportunities created by both teams over the next 25 minutes but neither side was able to capitalise and find the back of the net. At the half time break United led 1 nil.

The tight physical defence continued in the second half and the game became a tense mid field battle.

Rockville scored to equalise but the goal was not without controversy. The ball was crossed to a player in a seemingly offside position who was able to easily place the ball past the United keeper from only metres out and level the scores. In spite of protests from the United players, the goal stood.

This passage of play seemed to unsettle the Stanthorpe players.

There was still 25 minutes remaining on the clock giving both teams ample opportunity to close out the game.

The winning goal came after an unfortunate error between the Stanthorpe keeper and defender resulted in an own goal gifting Rockville a 2-1 lead. Rockville managed to defend their lead until full time to claim a tough win.

Aiden Halford was once again one of the best for United. Murphy, Fox, Purcell and McDonald all toiled hard in the midfield.

CASEY O’CONNOR

Despite the loss, United have shown early in the season that they are more than capable of matching it with the best sides in the competition.

As the season progresses expect to see more improvement as players with different playing styles and from different clubs gel into a more cohesive team.

PFEFFER SPORTING A WIN IN PERFECT CONDITIONS Despite the perfect golfing conditions provided by a classic winter’s day, Sporters numbers were down on previous weeks.

There were still 50 players who teed off in the Hawker Road Function Centre trophy for July.

Evan Pfeffer scored a respectable 39 points to win the event. He finished three points clear of the runner-up Mike Hoskin (36 points).

The run downs went the way of Garry Hanson (36), Keith Clarke (35).

On Wednesday the Men played for the Warwick Hotel trophy and results will be available in the next edition of Spin.

Wed (Aug&), Sporters will play for the Bells Butchery trophy.

Members will notice that the green staff and a contingent of volunteers have completed a huge amount this week trimming many of the problem trees on the course.

My spy tell me they may have missed that troublesome one on the, seventh and 10th fairways This trusty informant also reports that members should also put more effort into their “stuff ups” as he had previous little of interest to relay this week. Not good enough really. A final Sporters’ observation, “When you win, say nothing; when you lose, say less:...Paul Brown CROQUET PROVING POPULAR Organisers are thrilled with the good numbers at weekly Croquet games in Warwick recently.
