The editor’s desk It’s encouraging to be told by the QFES that controlled burns in our region on private land ahead of bushfire season are up in number this winter (see cover story, pages 4-8).

This is due in no small measure to the efforts of rural firefighters, who make themselves available to assist landowners with ‘fuel reduction’ activities. And we know many rural landowners work together to prepare for spring and summer. Fire does not respect private, or indeed public, land boundaries.

Those same rural firefighters - from 1400 brigades across Queensland - are also among those who put their lives on the line when responding to bushfires, with 2019 a season which will not be forgotten.

Along with active fire response, rural fire crews are required to devote a considerable number of their volunteer hours to training and accreditation. You do wonder if it’s a role which should be voluntary - perhaps they deserve a wage or at the very least an allowance to reflect the commitment, and the risks, involved?

ELLA’S IDEA BECOMES A REALITY

BY JEREMY SOLLARS In a resounding demonstration of the ‘power of one’ Warwick’s Ella Winfield with various political representatives in tow - officially opened the new Learn To Ride facility in Australiana Park this week.

Consisting of more than 600 metres of pathway and a variety of challenging features, the facility is designed to allow young riders a safe environment in which to learn, as well as getting out into the outdoors.

Ella, 10, was the driver of the project, proving you can be a voice in the ear of community leaders at any age.

It all started with a letter Ella wrote back in 2018 to former Southern Downs Mayor Tracy Dobie, arguing the case and the need for a purpose-built Learn To Ride facility for Warwick, similar to those in Toowoomba and Brisbane.

Ella told the Free Times she knew her proposal would have to go before the council to be assessed for budget funding - and also understood it would need to compete with other local projects - but was delighted when advised by Cr Dobie last

year it had received the ‘green light’.

The project was funded by $300,000 from the Queensland Government’s Works For Queensland program and construction was overseen by the Southern Downs Regional Council, with consultants 8LA Landscape Architecture completing the design, which also includes a playground and plantings.

Ella and a number of her ‘STEM’ classmates at Warwick West State School helped design the Learn To Ride facility which includes traffic signs and markings even a railway crossing - which riders may encounter out on the real road network in later life.

Mayor Vic Pennisi and councillors and Queensland Local Government Minister Stirling Hinchliffe congratulated Ella on not only coming up with the vision but for showing the self-confidence to advocate to the council to see the project come to fruition.

The Learn To Ride facility is located in the northern section of Australiana Park near the existing BMX track and velodrome.

A big congrats to Ella from the Free Times - and remember, everyone in our community has a voice! ●

PREPARING FOR ‘THE SEASON’

BY JEREMY SOLLARS eptember is only a few short weeks away and for many in the region it will be hard to believe close to a year has gone by since the 2019 bushfires started.

On the evening of Friday 6 September last year Stanthorpe residents watched embers falling on the outskirts of town something not even lifelong locals could remember having seen before - and preparations were being made to evacuate those in the immediate path of fires not far north and west of the built-up area.

What followed over the ensuing weeks and months for both the Stanthorpe area and for other predominantly rural zones in the Southern Downs region - and over the border in Tenterfield Shire - was a community rallying which was both inspiring but which also tested the physical and mental resolve of many of our residents.

To say a new meaning was given to the word ‘resilience’ would be a gross understatement.

S

As was the case across much of eastern Australia late last year rural fire crews were at the forefront - should that be ‘fire-front’ but scores of other volunteers joined hands to deliver support to community members who were affected, including some who suffered the loss of property.

Fortunately, unlike in southern states, there was no loss of life. But among Australians who lost homes were rural firefighters, only underscoring the impact.

Nearly 12 months on - and with spring and summer not far away - local fire authorities say they are confident sufficient measures are being taken to prevent fire devastation on the scale of 2019.

Whatever your views on the inherent causes of last year’s bushfires in Australia and not forgetting that in some cases human hands were involved - there has long been consensus that the cooler winter months provide an opportunity to undertake ‘fuel reduction’ activities on both public and private lands in rural areas.

And remembering that some of those

areas abut residential zones - known in the firefighting sector as the ‘rural-urban fringe’ or the ‘interface’. And it’s a zone which continues to see housing growth in our own and similar regions, with many residents enjoying the bushland views but also perhaps not always fully aware of the risks.

Not the least of those risks are embers, which depending on wind conditions can travel much further and faster than many realise.

As an example, a fortnight ago fire crews completed a ‘hazard reduction burn’ or ‘HRB’ in bushland adjacent to the northern end of East Street in Warwick towards Freestone Road - with that section of East Street forming part of the boundary of Warwick’s urban fringe on the eastern side of town.

The 2019 fires were something of a perfect fire-storm, in that extreme drought conditions meant ground cover across the region had virtually zero stored moisture.

As well as making bushfires burn even hotter and faster than usual it also meant the opportunities for controlled burning

prior to spring and summer were reduced.

This year weather conditions - according to John Welke of the Darling Downs Rural Fire Service (RFS) - have been “more favourable”, thanks largely to above-average rainfall in February.

As well as at least partially increase the moisture ‘profile’ that rain also boosted water supplies for some private rural dams in parts of the region, the lack of which only made firefighting efforts in 2019 all the more challenging.

John Welke is the Acting Inspector and Area Director for the Darling Downs RFS and told the Free Times he’s been greatly encouraged by what he says are many private rural landholders undertaking preventative measures over winter this year.

Across the Darling Downs between January and June around 2100 fire permits were registered, more than double for the same period in 2019, with landowners requiring clearance from their local Fire Warden to conduct hazard reduction burning on their properties.

GOVERNMENT SAYS ‘WE’RE PREPARED’ Queensland Minister for Fire and Emergency Services Craig Crawford says preparations for the 2020 bushfire season have been “well and truly underway across the State”.

Mr Crawford said QFES, “its partner agencies and landholders” undertake “Operation Cool Burn between April and August each year”.

“Operation Cool Burn is about the protection of Queensland communities using various bushfire mitigation activities,” Mr Crawford said.

“These activities include fire break upgrades and maintenance, slashing, community education and hazard reduction burning.

“Hazard reduction burning is already under way in many areas of the state to reduce fuel loads and some Queenslanders may have noticed smoke in the air as a result.”

Mr Crawford said while hazard reduction burns may not prevent a bushfire, they could reduce a bushfire’s severity, giving firefighters the upper hand.

“QFES and its partner agencies look at landscapes across the state and identify which locations are most at risk and the best strategy to mitigate this risk - which isn’t always a hazard

“But irrespective of land tenure they all go together to help create what we call a ‘mosaic’ pattern of fuel reduction.

“RSF personnel have in the last couple of months been concentrating on some of the key areas particularly on the Granite Belt - places like Horans Gorge and around Limberlost Road and off Eukey Road, those are a couple of examples, Girraween has been a focus.

“The rainfall in the Stanthorpe area back in February was a blessing but interestingly there’s still a fair bit of moisture in the ground in places.

“Some of that will dry out more in August and that will be a further opportunity for landowners to do more.”

John Welke says fuel reduction is “not the only strategy” for bushfire risk reduction.

“It’s not the only tool, you don’t put all your eggs in one basket - creating firebreaks on private land is equally as critical, clearing around structure like sheds as well as residences,” he said. reduction burn,” the minister said.

“These burns are by far the most visible of our mitigation strategies, however they are only one part of a much broader toolkit of activities aimed at protecting communities.

“Burns are conducted where it is safe and effective to do so, but there are instances where they cannot proceed, such as when the ground is too wet to burn effectively.

“This is why QFES takes a varied and comprehensive approach to bushfire mitigation.”

Mr Crawford said there was a significant increase in the number of permitted burns conducted in the leadup to the 2019 bushfire season.

“In the 2018-19 financial year, QFES data shows the total Permit to Light Fire activations was more than 26,600 - up by nearly 400 from the previous financial year,” he said.

QFES Commissioner Greg Leach said QFES assisted and supported landholders and partner agencies to conduct burns where possible to take advantage of favourable weather conditions.

“We encourage private landholders to conduct mitigation activities on their own land and we will continue to provide advice and assistance to support them,” Commissioner Leach said.

“Landholders interested in

“Now is the time to undertake those types of activities.

“The Rural Fire Service is available to assist.”

He said in the event of bushfires again this year fire crews would inevitably be forced to utilise water from private dams as well as public water supplies such as Storm King and Connolly Dams in Stanthorpe and Warwick respectively, and said “tapping into the town water supply can become necessary”.

Crews last year also drew water from Stanthorpe’s Quart Pot Creek and firefighting efforts were augmented by aircraft dropping water and flameretardant.

Local volunteer rural firefighters have told the Free Times they have been pleased with the level of cooperation in recent months from QFES and the Rural Fire Service authorities, and that extensive hazard reduction has been carried out in key ‘hotspot’ areas of the Granite Belt in proximity to National Parks. conducting a burn on their own land should remember to apply for a Permit to Light Fire, which is available at no cost through their local fire warden.

“Residents should ensure they equip themselves with their own tools such as an up-to-date Bushfire Survival Plan so they know what they will do if a bushfire threatens their area.

“It is also important to know where to find accurate information by using the QFES website and social media pages and listen to the advice of authorities,” he said. · For more information go to ruralfire. qld.gov.au

CHARLTON UPGRADE Mr Crawford this month also said construction is underway for a multi-million-dollar upgrade to the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) precinct at Charlton west of Toowoomba.

Mr Crawford said work started on the new $16.9 million Charlton Fire and Rescue Station and regional headquarters in February.

“This will be a huge boost not only for the region’s emergency services, but also for the community,” he said.

“Having the regional headquarters and Fire and Rescue Station under the same roof will enhance the region’s emergency response while

In the Warwick area fires were fought predominantly in tough terrain in the Tregony, Swanfels, Upper Freestone and Maryvale districts.

UPDATE YOUR SURVIVAL PLAN ... · For information on local fire warden contacts, and how to update or put together a bushfire survival plan, visit www.ruralfire.qld.gov.au ● also meeting the future needs of the community.

“It means our local crews will be able to keep up with the growing demands of the job,” he said.

“The regional headquarters will accommodate personnel from the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS), Rural Fire Service (RFS) and State Emergency Service (SES).”

Mr Crawford said the final design of the new facility would be carefully considered to ensure it benefitted all three services.

“QFES takes a holistic approach when responding to disasters such as bushfires, floods and other critical incidents, so it is important for all of our services to be united in their response,” he said.

“The new facility is in an ideal location, close to the centre of town and at the junction of major roads and highways which will allow crews to respond rapidly to all types of incidents across the area.

“The Charlton-based regional headquarters will service the entire South West Region from Toowoomba to the South Australia and New South Wales borders,” Mr Crawford said.

Construction is scheduled to be finished by the end of the year. ● Continued next page

John Welke said fire authorities - the RFS in conjunction with the ‘red trucks’ of the urban Queensland Fire and Rescue Service (QFES) - have so far this year conducted “approximately 100 burns” of their own on public lands in the Darling Downs region.

But he has also warned there’s no room for complacency on the part of rural residential dwellers, and that other activities such as creating firebreaks in proximity to homes are equally as important as reducing the grass ‘fuel load’ on the ground.

“We’ve certainly seen significantly more landowners applying for permits to conduct hazard reduction burns and that’s very encouraging,” he told the Free Times.

“Obviously there’s a lot of people who last year were directly affected by or who saw the effects of the bushfires in 2019 and that’s prompted them to be pro-active and become more self-resilient.

“Burns on private land can be small in comparison to controls in National Parks and other public lands.

QFES WARWICK ANNOUNCEMENT ...

Mr Crawford visited Warwick last week to announce that the “Warwick Fire and Rescue Station has three reasons to celebrate, after the official handover of a new firefighting and rescue truck, the announcement of nine additional firefighter positions that will be filled by the end of 2020, and the region’s SES receiving a funding boost”.

The minister said the Palaszczuk Government’s promise was “to deliver 100 Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) firefighters and we’ve done better, with all of the 100 firefighter positions due to be appointed by September 2020”.

“The new firefighting positions

will enable Warwick to move to a permanently crewed 24/7 station, providing an even greater level of support to the community,” Mr Crawford said.

“By the end of 2020, Warwick Fire and Rescue Station will be crewed by 36 staff including 19 full-time firefighters and 17 auxiliary firefighters.”

Mr Crawford also officially handed over a new Type 2 Urban Pumper appliance.

“We’ve invested $50 million upgrading the QFES fleet,” he said.

“It’s all part of Unite and Recover for Queenslanders and spells more red and yellow trucks for our frontline personnel and more jobs.

“The $580,000 Type 2 Urban Pumper has a 2000 litre water tank

and boasts a compressed air foam system (CAFS) to enhance firefighting operations and reduce water usage.

“The firefighting truck can be used for command and control response, technical response, hazardous incidents and road crash rescues.

“The community relies on QFES to be there when they need them most, and having the right staffing and equipment is vital to the work they do.

“The last bushfire season saw significant fires in the Southern Downs region, particularly along the border with New South Wales.

“It’s important that our professional firefighters have the resources they need in order to meet emergencies such as those they confronted last bushfire season.

“Just as the community relies on

Picture: PERDITTA O’CONNOR firefighters to support them during disasters, firefighters rely on up-todate equipment to support their work.

“Anything we can do to empower our firefighters is a privilege, and the addition of nine new positions at this station, along with this new appliance, will go a long way in boosting frontline capabilities,” he said.

“I’m also pleased to announce that the SES in the Southern Downs Regional Council, will be one of 13 SES Groups across the state to receive a boost in funding as part of the Support Grant program.

“The $13,551 will be used for accommodation and will make major improvements to existing facilities.” ● Continued page 8

‘RAFFLES FOR RIGS’?

Less than half of Queensland’s nearly 1400 rural fire brigades have a dedicated firefighting vehicle, with current QFES policy being to replace existing vehicles every 15 years.

But vehicles which remain “fit for purpose” are expected to be used for longer depending on their condition.

The Rural Fire Brigades Association of Queensland (RFBAQ) which advocates to government on behalf of local volunteer brigades has also been critical in recent times over what it says is a lack of consultation over the vehicle needs of individual brigades Local brigades are also regularly encouraged to raise funds from within their communities to purchase both vehicles and other firefighting equipment and to upgrade facilities such as rural fire sheds to use for training and as bases for operations.

The RFBAQ is currently giving away six modified Toyota Landcruiser ‘light attack’ vehicles sourced from community donations in a state-wide program and is encouraging brigades to raise funds to build a seventh vehicle.

Rural firefighting vehicles are typically classed as either ‘light attack’ typically a four-wheel utility, either single and dual-cab - or ‘heavy attack’ trucks.

But for brigades which do not have a dedicated light or heavy vehicle fire response is typically undertaken with

the use of private vehicles utilising ‘slipon’ tanks and hoses.

Queensland Fire and Emergency Services Minister Craig Crawford this week told the Free Times that of the 1399 volunteer rural brigades across Queensland 561 have a “dedicated” vehicle.

“Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) regularly monitors and reviews its service delivery across the state to ensure appropriate resources are available for all emergency services responses,” Mr Crawford told the Free Times.

“QFES’ goal is to replace a Rural Fire Service (RFS) vehicle every fifteen years, however this is dependent on the condition of the vehicle and its usage over the course of its lifetime.

“Vehicles that remain fit for purpose are utilised until they are deemed unsuitable and replaced.

“It’s important to note that supplementary firefighting equipment, including firefighting trailers or slip on units that attach to utes, may be more suitable for remote or rural parts of Queensland.

“When establishing whether or not a brigade requires a vehicle or the type of vehicle, QFES considers the current bushfire risk in the area, previous bushfire activity and the current response capability provided by nearby RFS brigades and Fire and Rescue Service stations, in addition to infrastructure, training and

administration requirements.

“In addition to the current RFS fleet, there are 14 reserve and spare vehicles to provide support to RFS brigades should a vehicle require servicing or maintenance.

“This includes vehicles from the RFS surge fleet which can bolster regional bushfire response during heightened operational periods.”

VEHICLE GIVEAWAY Applications for the RFBAQ ‘Light Attack’ giveaway close on 1 September and those successful are expected to be notified in midSeptember.

Brigades wishing to be considered need to submit a “business plan developed by the brigade in conjunction with your local RFSQ Inspector and RFBAQ Elected Representative”.

“Vehicle will be the property of the Rural Fire Brigade and when disposed of in 20 years will be at the discretion of the brigade with funds retained by the brigade. (this is due to there being no government or QFES money in the vehicle build),” the RFBAQ website states.

“Vehicle will be on fleet, fueled and insured by QFES once gifted to brigade.”

“There is no purpose-built light attack for Rural Fire Brigades in Queensland.

“Brigades can choose from a Ford Ranger space cab with mop up unit or Toyota Landcruiser purpose built light attacks.

“Trucks will have: · RFBAQ Rego · RFBAQ Insurance · RFBAQ Fuel card · RFBAQ Decals · Thuraya SatSleeve Hotspot”

“UNSUITABLE”?

The following statement appears on the RFBAQ website in relation to a recent review of rural brigade vehicle requirements ...

“During the consultation phase the Review Team encountered many stories from volunteers about the unsuitability of vehicles for local operations.

“Some of these examples bordered on the ridiculous.

“Indeed at the meeting held with volunteers at Ripley Valley one Brigade truck turned up with parts of its plastic bumper melted having come too close to fire.

“Complaints regarding the appliances being constructed for Brigades include that many of the new trucks are too big, requiring a heavy vehicle license to drive them and that they lack the four-wheel drive capability of smaller vehicles which had previously been available.

“Many believe the trucks currently being built have sacrificed off-road and fire fighting capacity for water carrying and crew seating.

“In other words they are not practical for the purposes of rural brigades, which often fight fire with fire in the bush.

“Volunteers also saw the many gadgets now appearing on today’s vehicles as being unnecessary for their purpose.

“The decision on the type of vehicle required for an area should come from the volunteers in close consultation with the District.

“Certainly the type of vehicle required for Izone Brigade requirements is going to be different to that of Village brigades responding to vegetation fires but the volunteers should have input into this.” ●

‘SAFETY KEY’ IN RODEO DECISION The Warwick Show and Rodeo Society says it has made the “hard decision” to cancel the 2020 Warwick Rodeo and Gold Cup Campdraft due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19.

In a statement released last Friday 31 July - a spokeswoman said “after extensive consultations with State and Local governments, stakeholders and public health authorities the Warwick Show and Rodeo Society have made the hard decision to cancel the 2020 Warwick Rodeo and Gold Cup Campdraft”.

“With the ever changing climate surrounding Covid-19 the safety of our volunteers, competitors, patrons and the larger community were at the forefront of our decision making process,” the spokeswoman said.

“The complex nature of our event being seven days and the vast space of our venue made the logistical implementation of the Covid Plan unattainable.

“We understand that not only will the cancellation have a massive economic effect on our local community but that our event

for many rural and regional competitors has been a reprieve from a tough few years battling through drought, fire and now Covid.

“In the coming months we will be working closely with our governing bodies to help keep our sports alive to keep our trusty team of volunteers engaged and to lift the community spirit.

“Please know this decision wasn’t made lightly, even when the equine flu hit in 2007 we still bucked our bulls, the last time on our records we had to cancel was in 1965

due to extreme drought and before that was World War II. “We aim to be back in 2021 October 25th-31st bigger and better than ever.”

The Warwick Rodeo hosted the Australian Professional Rodeo Association (APRA) National Finals Rodeo in 2019 and would have done so again in 2020. At this stage the National Finals Rodeo series is intended to be held at Warwick in 2021.

There will be no APRA National Finals Rodeo in 2020. ●

NEWS PRODDER BAN Electric prodders can no longer be used on horses in Queensland under newlyintroduced legislative changes, the Queensland Government has announced.

Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries Mark Furner said making the use of electric prodders an act of cruelty was one of the recommendations made by the ‘Inquiry into animal cruelty in the management of retired Thoroughbred and Standardbred horses in Queensland’.

The ban took effect from 1 August, with Mr Furner saying it is now “a cruelty offence

to use an electric prodder on a horse”.

“This will help to protect horses from unnecessary pain,” Mr Furner said.

“Anyone who owns or works with horses - including horse owners, racing industry organisations, trainers, breeders and livestock transporters - will need to comply with this change.

“Farm equipment suppliers should also be aware of this new cruelty offence and inform any customers wanting to purchase electric prodders.

“Anyone working with horses must find alternate ways to safely move stock under their care.

“In addition to electric prodders, the following must not be used on horses: · any painful procedures such as punching, kicking, whipping, tail twisting etc · sticks, lengths of metal pipe, fencing wire or heavy leather belts · excessive shouting or making loud noises.

“The maximum penalty for animal cruelty is 2000 penalty units ($266,900) or three years imprisonment.” ●

NEWS BORDER TESTS Queensland Health says it is continuing to take steps to manage the spread of COVID-19 with the establishment this week of a pop-up drive-in testing centre on the Queensland-NSW border at Wallangarra.

As of Monday of this week the test centre located adjacent to the Wallangarra Driver Reviver Rest Area will be open seven days a week from 8:30am to 4pm.

The centre will target travellers and heavy vehicle operators, with the site able to take cars, trucks and vehicles with caravans, without travellers needing to exit their vehicles.

Police say Queensland’s border restrictions mean people who have been in a COVID-19 hotspot within the last 14 days will be turned away at the state’s border.

Queensland residents who have been in a COVID-19 hotspot can return home but will be required to quarantine in government provided accommodation at their expense.

Since July 3, anyone entering Queensland is required to complete a border declaration pass which is valid for seven days or until the person’s circumstances change.

Everyone entering the state must complete a Queensland Border Declaration Pass online before travelling to Queensland.

Vehicles will continue to be intercepted at random where police will verify declarations with identification.

The Southern Downs Regional Council has announced JJ’s Waste & Recycling will oversee 20,000 tonnes of waste annually at the Warwick Waste Management Facility after the company was awarded the landfill management contract by the council, taking effect from last Thursday 30 July.

A council spokeswoman said with “landfills across the region accepting almost 35,000 tonnes of waste last financial year, Council has entered into the new seven-year contract which includes innovative waste sustainability practices designed to maximise the remaining space in current and future landfill cells in Warwick and Yangan”.

The spokeswoman said a number of community and industry representative positions are being sought by Council for each committee. · Pest Management Advisory Committee is seeking one community representative with experience and interest in invasive pest management. · Warwick Saleyards Advisory Committee is seeking four representatives; one from each of the following industries - cattle, sheep, livestock agents and livestock transport. · Shaping Southern Downs Advisory Committee is seeking three community representatives from towns or villages that do not yet have an urban design framework (UDF). UDFs are currently in place for Leyburn, Maryvale and Wallangarra and will be developed for Pratten and Dalveen in 2020/2021.

For further information, visit Council's website www.sdrc.qld.gov.au which will provide Council Officer contact details for each Council Advisory Committee or contact Council on 1300 MY SDRC (1300 697 372).

CALL OUT FOR COMMITTEES

SPRINGBORG FAMILY’S TRAGIC LOSS

The SDRC is calling for ‘Expressions of Interest’ from interested persons to become community representatives on three of Council’s Advisory Committees.

A council spokeswoman said the role of the Advisory Committees “is to provide input and advice to Council on specific topics or the strategic management of a facility on an ongoing basis”.

An outpouring of community support has “deeply comforted” Goondiwindi Regional Council Mayor Lawrence Springborg and his family after the loss of their daughter Megan, 27.

“Our family is grateful to have had Megan for the time we did, and to have our memories which we cherish. We have been greatly comforted by kind words and the prayers of so many,” Cr Springborg told the Goondiwindi Argus this week.

The Free Times extends our deepest condolences to the Springborg family at this time.●

ZONTA TURNS 21...

BY SAMANTHA WANTLING Incoming president Rosemary McMahon has gathered a strong executive committee to help build on the many worthwhile projects the Zonta Club of Stanthorpe have contributed to over the last 21 years. A few examples of projects Zonta supports are assembling domestic violence pamper packs, and financially supporting organisations who support disadvantaged homeless women.

Internationally Zonta’s education programs partnered with UN agencies are providing essential support for girls to complete secondary school in countries such as Asia, Africa, South America and

Southwest Pacific regions.

St Judes Bistro in Ballandean was the venue for the recent Changeover Dinner.

Outgoing President Peggy Channon introduced all the new Board members, and Dorothy Switala and Robyn Henderson were welcomed to the club as new members.

Rosemary McMahon hopes the Granite Belt community find Zonta’s work worthwhile and continue to support their fundraising activities in these difficult times.

Our next event will be the Pink Dinner on Saturday evening 24th October at the Queensland College of Wine Tourism to raise funds for breast cancer locally and nationally. ●

MATES EYE CUP DOUBLE

BY GARRY HOWE Warwick part-owned Vow And Declare last year had to overcome a crack international field to win the country’s most famous horse race, the $7.3 million Melbourne Cup. This year the Danny O’Brien-trained stayer will have to overcome a global pandemic in a quest to become only the fifth horse to go back-to-back in the big Flemington two-miler.

Part-owner Bob Leitch said that Vow And Declare was back in work and thriving in a campaign again aimed to culminate at Flemington on Tuesday 3 November.

He said all was going to plan - or as much as you can plan in the middle of a pandemic.

The campaign is set to kick off in the Makybe Diva Stakes over 1600m at Flemington on 12 September, then progress to on to the Turnbull Stakes, also at Flemington, over 2000m on 3 October before tackling the 2400 metre Caulfield Cup, a traditional lead-up race, on 17 October.

O’Brien said after last year’s Cup win that Vow And Declare would be a better horse next spring.

The signs are he was on the money.

“Danny O’Brien us really happy with him,” Leitch said.

“He’s a bigger, stronger horse than last year, but he will need to be to carry the extra weight.”

The schoolboys rugby league mate embrace after the big win.

Vow And Declare, who carried 52kg to win last year, is based at the stable’s 13th Beach facility at Barwon Heads, near Geelong in Victoria.

“They’ve actually had him working harder down at the beach than he would if at Flemington,” Leitch explained.

“He’s due to have a jump out in a couple of weeks and from there will do a bit of extra work.”

One thing in their favour this year is that there is unlikely to be an influx of internationals, due to the worldwide virus crisis.

FOCUS ON … Shop Local THE NEW SALON ON THE BLOCK

BY TANIA PHILLIPS The Covid 19 lockdown gave a lot of us time to think and to work out what we wanted in life, for hairdresser Abbey Seidel it made her realise it was time to open her own salon.

And so the Warwick Hair Bar was born - centrally located at 97 Grafton Street, a place that is rapidly becoming a place to chill-out, relax, enjoy a drink during your hair appointment.

“I was working in another salon and it closed for two months so I was forced to go up to Mt Isa and work on a cattle property up there,” Abbey explained “I grew up in the Northern Territory on a

cattle property so that was the background I came from.”

She said working on the friend’s property for six weeks gave her time to think.

“I decided I may as well be coming home and opening my own salon and doing this on my own terms,” she added.

Wanting something positive to come out of the Covid situation for herself, she came home and started the process, choosing one of the many vacant shops in Warwick.

Almost two months later on July 20 Warwick Hair Bar opened it’s doors to the public with Abbey and young hairdresser Bree Clark working together and attracting Abbey’s regular clients, new clients and

walk-ins ever since.

“The building I am in is an old building, beautiful though, but it had been vacant for about 18months so there was a lot of work to be done but I’m so glad I did it,” Abbey said.

She said there were a lot of hairdressers in Warwick and they were all busy but she was hoping to create a slightly different vibe, up-beat and a bit closer to the main shopping centre. To that end her hours are a little different - Monday to Saturday but with later hours on Thursday and surprisingly Monday (a day when a lot of local salons are closed).

“A lot of my clients work full-time and

have Mondays off so to cater for them I was either going to have to work really late on a Thursday. I thought why not split it between Monday and Thursday,” she said.

On their late nights Warwick Hair Bar operates a little like a bar, offering a beer or wine during appointments and specials including Champagne Fridays - where you can bring a friend and have a wash, rinse and blow-wave or Tradie Thursdays - men’s cut with a beer.

For further information contact the store on 07 4574 4844, or just drop in. They open 8.30am -7.30pm Monday and Thursday and 8.30am to 5.30pm Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday 8am to noon. ●

Racing authorities are pulling out all stops to help international runners make the trip, seeking a Federal Government travel exemption so trainers and their staff can travel.

But it needs to be sorted by mid-August at the latest and is becoming more and more unlikely as Covid-19 figures spike in Melbourne, where Flemington is considered a hotspot for infection.

Vow And Declare flew the Australian flag last year, as the only locally bred horse in the field - and also had local solely local owners, trainer and jockey.

For some, it rekindled their interest in the race.

“I spoke to a lot of racing people afterwards and they said it brought back a lot of interest in the Cup - that it’s not just a race for the internationals.

“It shows that the average Joe Blow can invest in a horse and still win the Melbourne Cup.” For some of Vow And Declare’s 13 owners, it was their first foray into racehorse ownership, including Leitch.

By US sire Declaration Of War out of Geblitzt, Vow And Declare was bred by Noosa businessman Paul Lanskey, who after unsuccessfully trying to offload him at the sales hawked him around friends and family.

Among those to take up the offer was his nephew, Gympie State High School principal Anthony Lanskey, who also got his two sons, Lachi and Ben, into the ownership.

Celebrating the Melbourne Cup win with trainer Danny O’Brien (third from right) are part-owners Ben Lanskey, Lachi Lanskey, Anthony Lanskey, Kort Goodman and Bob Leitch.

Schoolboys Rugby League and had spoken to a couple of great mates also tied up with the schoolboys about one day getting into a horse.

They were Leitch, his colleague at Gympie State High and the former deputy mayor, and Kort Goodman, principal of Assumption College in Warwick.

Goodman and Leitch are former schoolboys rugby teammates and Lanskey was team manager of a side Leitch coached.

They’re pretty close.

Leitch was turning 50 around the time the shares were being hawked around and wife Correne asked him what he wanted for his birthday.

He says the subsequent share in Vow And Declare is the gift that keeps giving.

They realize how fortunate they were to share on of Australian sport’s greatest prizes - and one that has eluded so many icons of the sport over the years.

Take Vow And Declare’s jockey Craig Williams as an example.

Williams grew up in a racing family - his grandfather and father were both trainers of note - and it was his 16th ride in the race.

He had ridden over 50 Group 1 winners all over the world, yet made no secret that the Melbourne Cup was his Holy Grail.

To go back-to-back would rank Vow And

Declare alongside the Cup’s first winner Archer (1861-62), Rain Lover (1968-69), Think Big (1974-75) and Makybe Diva (200305) as the only horses to achieve that feat.

The big question is whether the schoolboys rugby league mates will be at Flemington alongside the other owners to soak it all up again.

“It’s pretty frustrating,” Leitch said.

“We’ve already booked flights and accommodation.

“I don’t imagine we will get to the earlier races, but one of the ideas is for owners to go in prior to the race and then be gone by the next race. We’d probably take that.

“There is a fair chance we would have to be isolated because Flemington is a (Covid) hotspot.

“You just don’t know. But we will be there if we get the opportunity.” ●

FOCUS ON … Country Pubs

RUSTIC, HISTORIC BUSH PUB

BY TANIA PHILLIPS Ask anyone out Allan way if they know where the Darling Downs Hotel is and they might look at you a bit puzzled.

Everyone and his dog knows it as the Sandy Creek Pub - the beautiful old white historic building about 10km outside of Warwick on the Sandy Creek Road at the start of the Sprint Route through to Leyburn.

It’s rustic, historic and iconic out that way - loved by locals and visitors alike and according to owner-operators Kevin and Karen Kiley it’s one of a kind.

“It’s unique,” Kevin, a local farmer and well-known pig race organizer, who has been watching over the pub since 2017, explained.

“It’s the only bloody thing that’s here which is just the way I like it,” he laughed.

“It’s got a lot of character. “It’s over a hundred years old. The building’s been here since 1913 but a pub started operating on the site, well we think about 1866. I’ve got a photo of the pub that has 1875 on it but I’ve had an historian here lately and he is saying it dates back to 1866.

“This is an old bullock team pub, it’s on the old Cobb and Co way where there use to be a pub every five miles or so because that’s how far a bullock team would go fully loaded back in the day.”

These days Kevin and Karen have been working hard to put as much character into what they do as there is in the building itself. And there is a lot of character

See you for parmy night.

Plenty of room for kids to play. in the building with It’s classic country atmosphere, wide verandahs, jumping castle for the kids and rustic beer garden. Kevin cheekily promotes his pub as the “Home of the Thoroughbred Racing Pig”- “only because I own it” the man who, in nonCovid times runs pig racing all around the place, joked.

Offering patrons and visitors a full menu on the weekend, the pub has free camping facilities on site and Kevin’s been known to “knock up a meal for a hungry camper” through the week though it’s not something he advertises. But, Thursday, he says Thursday night is the night to be out there

The rustic outdoor eating area. for a meal.

“Parmy night is Thursday night here at the Creek and you get your choice of a chicken or a pork parmy - pork parmy are native to the Sandy Creek pub,” Kevin laughed.

“You get your choice of topping, we’ve got a seafood topping, we’ve got a ham and pineapple topping, a meat lovers topping and I think this week the cook’s going to start with a Mexican-style topping as well.”

Friday, Saturday and then Sunday lunch they have the full menu going and then Sunday night is pizza night. “These are the best pizzas in Allen,” Kevin quipped.

The pork and lamb for the menu are

all homegrown while the “Parmy” for the parmy night are provided by the Lyons Street Butchers in Warwick.

They try and have entertainment once a month with Col Findlay playing on August 22 (Kev’s birthday) and of course there is the ever-popular Jag the Joker on Friday nightsit’s up to $820 this week for a $2 outlay.

Friday is also meat-tray raffle night and of course the pub runs a courtesy bus Friday and Saturday as well.

The Sandy Creek Pub is at 345 Sandy Creek Road, Allan. Call Kevin and Karen on 4661 3413 and pay a visit online at www. darlingdownshotel.com.au. ●

“I take after my dad,” she added proudly.

“It’s been really busy apart from that.”

But despite their baptism of fire (Covid and drought) they are still going, still enjoying what they are doing and loving dealing with and chatting to their customers - locals and tourists alike.

“The locals here are great,” Naomi said.

While the dining room is small, visitors and locals are drawn to the spacious verandah that runs around half of the building to enjoy their meals. Outdoor heating on half the verandah allows dining to be enjoyed even in this colder weather while tucking into Grant’s gorgeous lamb shanks.

A BALLANDEAN WELCOME

BY TANIA PHILLIPS In the heart of the Granite Belt Wine Country is the Ballandean Tavern, which prides itself in being a nice family friendly country pub close to everything.

Run by second-generation pub licensee Naomi Day and her husband Stephen it is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, making it the perfect place to stop in for a meal and a drink after a busy day exploring the region or just dinner close to home.

“We have a normal pub menu but then we have a really good chef who has daily specials,” Naomi Day explained.

“Meals are pretty big here and our slowly roasted lamb shanks, nice and warm for winter, a proving particularly popular. Our chef Grant Murphy works all the magic in the kitchen.”

Grant, a local to the region, did his apprenticeship and worked in hotels on the Gold Coast before returning home to bring his vast knowledge and experience and personal style to the Tavern. It is just as well too as during the lockdown the venue, like most across the country, had to rely on takeaways to survive.

But they are open again now and serving food all week - subject to social distancing laws.

Naomi and her husband Stephen have been running the pub for the past 19 months and are loving it, even though they have had to deal with drought, fire and Covid in that time.

“It was really hard during Covid but we just stayed open for takeaways, for meals and that was enough to keep us ticking over,” she said.

WINE RESTRICTIONS LIFTED Australian wine producers are toasting successful resolution of trade restrictions that have been a long-running obstacle in our wine trade with Canada, our fourth largest wine export market.

Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management David Littleproud welcomed the Canadian Government’s agreement to allow Australian wine to compete on a level playing field.

“With $185 million worth of Australian wine exported to Canada in 2019, this is a welcome outcome for our producers and the economy,” Mr Littleproud said.

“As a result of our hard work and pressure through the World Trade Organization challenge, Canada has agreed to remove over time, measures imposed by the Canadian federal government and the provinces of Ontario and Nova Scotia which saw our wine producers disadvantaged.

“Australian wine producers will no longer bear the burden of discriminatory measures which gave Canadian wine producers

exemptions from taxes or more favourable mark-ups.

“Australian wine producers will also have more access to shelf space in Canada, including in Ontario, Canada’s most populous Province.

“This means valuable exposure for Brand Australia and more opportunities for our farmers to lead Australia’s recovery out of Covid-19.

“We thank the Canadian Government for its co-operation in progressing this resolution.

“The successful negotiation of meaningful outcomes outside of the WTO dispute settlement process speaks to the strength of our Australia and Canada’s bilateral relationship.”

“What this should show our agricultural producers is that we aren’t just going to lie down and take the imposition of unfair trade-restrictive policies from our trading partners.

“We are committed to the WTO rules-

based system and if something is unfair we’re going to take it to the WTO as the independent umpire.

The outcome adds to the positive results of the settlement reached between the Australian and Canadian governments in April 2019 to remove unfair restrictions on Australian wine sales in the province of British Columbia.

FAST FACTS ... · As a result of this agreement Australia will not proceed with its claims concerning Canadian measures at the federal level and in the Provinces of British Colombia, Ontario and Nova Scotia in its WTO dispute. · Discussions are continuing on a possible settlement regarding the remaining Quebec measures. · Australian wine has the fifth largest share of the Canadian wine market behind wines from France, Italy, the US and wines domestically produced in Canada. ●

INTERNET ‘BEEFED UP’ The Queensland Government says meat exporter John Dee “is having its internet capacity beefed up through backhaul provider QCN Fibre, bringing benefits to local businesses and residents”.

Minister for Innovation and State Development Kate Jones said QCN Fibre is “enabling John Dee, a major employer in Warwick in Southern Queensland, to access high-speed commercial-grade internet, opening up new growth opportunities”.

“Internet is crucial when it comes to support businesses to grow and employ more people,” Ms Jones said.

“We want to help companies like John Dee to expand and be able to export more.

“That’s why we’re breaking down the digital divide by unlocking more than 10,000km of optical fibre throughout the state to provide better internet for people in regional Queensland.

“The improvements it is bringing to regional telecommunications comes at a critical time as more people work online and it’s even more important to boost regional capacity.

“QCN Fibre will be the platform to bring metropolitan-grade services, at metropolitan prices, to regional Queenslanders.

“It’s great to see how well QCN Fibre is working with telecommunications carriers and internet service providers to connect parts of our spare optical fibre network in

key regional areas.”

QCN Fibre is a new telecommunications company jointly owned by Powerlink Queensland and Energy Queensland formed to help regional business development by using the spare cabling and selling ‘backhaul’ capacity to providers on a wholesale basis.

The backhaul cabling - high-capacity lines that transmit between sites or to a central point - is being made available to carry internet and data services at capacities up to 100Gbs, for businesses and residences.

QCN Fibre Chief Executive Officer Derek Merdith, said the company would partner with local internet service providers (ISPs), as well as major carriers, in regional Queensland so they could offer customers better backhaul capacity and internet speeds up to 10 times faster at cheaper prices.

“In Warwick, QCN Fibre’s immediate focus is assisting Wholesale Fixed Wireless carrier Channel Wireless to provide highcapacity services for customer John Dee Export Pty Ltd,” Mr Merdith said.

“The company has an international reputation in the export beef industry, but its ability to take advantage of growth opportunities offered by online technologies has been hampered by the lack of reasonably priced, high-speed internet,” he said.

John Dee’s Innovation Manager Andrew Fern said cost-effective high-speed internet connectivity was critical to the competitiveness and jobs growth of regional businesses.

“We’ll now be able to implement our digital transformation, improve collaboration with processing customers and provide reliable information in near real-time to international customers who are used to high-speed internet,” he said.

Channel Wireless General Manager Dan Thompson said the arrival of QCN Fibre as an alternative to NBN would be a godsend for regional business, and the Queensland Government was to be congratulated for this important telecommunications innovation. ●

GROWING AG SECTOR The Queensland agriculture sector has joined together to support an initiative encouraging primary school students to visit farms and other primary education sites to grow their knowledge by learning about agriculture production, sustainable practices and land stewardship.

The Rural Jobs and Skills Alliance (RJSA) led by the Queensland Farmers’ Federation, will partner with AgForce Queensland to deliver a project funded by the federal government’s Kids to Farm grants program, aimed at cultivating connections between farms, schools and communities.

Chair of the RJSA Ian Atkinson said a lack of understanding of what modern agriculture involves could threaten the ability to attract young people to work in the sector.

“The initiative aims to increase student’s understanding of where and how their food and fibre is produced, and the important role agriculture plays in Australia’s way of life, regional communities and economy,” Mr Atkinson said.

“The Central Queensland University will develop curriculumbased modules to create engagement and learning activities that support the Australian Curriculum connection to food and fibre. While the RJSA will provide advice, links to producers and knowledge of the sector.”

Mr Atkinson said the project was a positive step in agriculture’s ongoing challenge of ensuring it attracted and retained the appropriately resourced workforce it needs, now and in the future.

“Building on this, the RJSA’s Queensland Agriculture to Schools Engagement Program (QASEP) suggests a wholistic solution that addresses both the perceived and real gaps in schools-industry engagement and the need for continuous learning in the workforce,” Mr Atkinson said.

“We encourage the Queensland Government to work with industry to progress the implementation of QASEP, which would improve the way schools and agricultural industries interact, provide mutually beneficial experiences and learning, and open the job pathways the sector needs to feed, clothe and grow amenity into the future.” ●

AgForce says it welcomes the LNP’s plan to reduce water prices for Queensland farmers, as well as the release of the long-awaited Great Artesian Basin Strategic Management Plan, because secure and affordable water supplies are essential for regional, rural, and remote communities.

AgForce Water Committee Chair Kim Bremner said the LNP’s future-focused initiative on secure and affordable, access to water was critical if Queensland farmers are to continue to produce high quality, safe, affordable food and fibre for the rest of us.

“A reliable water supply that farmers can afford to pay for is key to agricultural production,” Mr Bremner said.

“AgForce’s Stand With Regional Queensland state election campaign is calling for better use of existing water supplies and reserves, including affordable water pricing arrangements to assist regional economic activity and employment.

“The promise by the LNP of reduced water prices of almost 20 per cent by mid-2021 through modernising the way Sunwater estimates asset renewal costs and recovery would go a long way towards easing the cost of water for farmers.”

Mr Bremner said AgForce had also been calling for funding for water infrastructure projects, such as supporting ‘capping and piping’ of bores in the Great Artesian Basin, to be brought forward.

“The Basin is a critical water source that sustains inland Queensland’s livestock industries and rural and remote communities and delivers about $12.8 billion annually to the Australian economy, including $3 billion from livestock within Queensland,” Mr Bremner said.

“The new 15-year Great Artesian Basin Strategic Management Plan for the management and use of Great Artesian Basin water has been developed in collaboration with water users, and it is essential that agricultural water users continue to be strongly represented and consulted in its implementation.

“AgForce will be looking for the new Stakeholder Advisory Committee to have real influence on government direction on important issues such as further reducing livestock water distribution losses, securing the access of existing users while considering potential new users, and protecting dependent natural springs.

“Our State and Federal Governments must take a strategic, bipartisan view to securing the water resources needed to

progress our agricultural industries and the communities of regional, rural, and remote Queensland.

“Water reform is an issue AgForce members can also get involved in with AgForce due to make a submission on the review into the 2004 National Water Initiative, including the key issues of prioritising stock and domestic water uses, release of unallocated water, assessment hurdles for new infrastructure, and water metering and pricing.”

The Queensland State Election will be held on Saturday 31 October.

NEWS Free Times history contributor DEBORAH WHEELER and Stanthorpe region photographer SANDRA McEWAN were at the Amiens Legacy Centre on the last Sunday in July for the unveiling of a mural by Franco Arcidiacono

UNVEILING OF MURAL AT AMIENS

BY DEB WHEELER Despite inclement weather on Sunday 26 July, the rain held off as just under 100 invited guests and members of the Amiens History Association gathered to commemorate two very important events in our local history.

Firstly, Sunday 26 July marked the one hundredth anniversary of the opening of the branch line from Cottonvale to Amiens by the Prince of Wales. This line allowed soldier settlers to have access to an easy form of transport in order to send their produce to the Brisbane markets.

Secondly, it also marked the official unveiling by Mayor Vic Pennisi of a significant art work at the Amiens Legacy Centre. ‘Forging A Future After The Trenches,’ is an original monochromatic painting by local artist Franco Arcidiacono.

Franco has a long standing history with the Stanthorpe district predominately as a school teacher and now, in his retirement as an accomplished artist.

The mural draws the viewer’s eye and gives one a glimpse into the life of a soldier settler and his family. As with most Western literature, the story unfolds by following the painting from the left to the right. It depicts the ex-soldiers past, present and future and has been beautifully executed.

The Amiens Legacy Centre is open to the public on Sundays from 10am until 1pm.

Crowds at the Prince of Wales visit in 1920.

A good crowd turned out for the Amiens Legacy Centre mural unveiling.

A ROYAL VISIT ...

The Armistice to end World War I had been signed in November 1918, and almost two years later His Royal Highness, Edward The Prince of Wales visited Australia.

He was representing his father George V and was touring the country to thank Australians for their participation in World War I. By all accounts his visit was very popular as evidenced by the following quote from an unofficial diary kept by his staff: ‘Confetti is appearing in great and unpleasant quantities, and the touching mania has started, only owing to the heartening disposition of the Australians the touches are more like blows and HRH arrived half blinded and black and blue’.

He visited all Australian states by rail and entered Queensland at Wallangarra.

His itinerary was demanding and included visiting many smaller towns in addition to the capital cities. One such stop was the soldier settlement at Amiens. To make the journey, he transferred to a smaller train Cottonvale in order to traverse the Cottonvale to Amiens branch line. On the 26 July 1920 he arrived at Amiens and alighted from his carriage opposite the Amiens ticket office and waiting room.

He was met by an enthusiastic group of soldier settlers and their families, as well as important officials. The Spanish flu had delayed his trip to Australia, but at Amiens he just had an ordinary cold, and so he said very few words during his sojourn.

Much was recorded in writing and images during the royal visit to Australia, but here we focus on his visit to Amiens.

In attendance was a reporter from the Courier Mail in Brisbane and Mr Henry Wilson, a local administrative official and amateur photographer. The reporter was the original “spin doctor” as his account of the visit is poetic.

He writes, “The wattles bloomed bravely, freetimes.com.au

Pictures: SANDRA McEWAN and cold clear streams ran through the hills.

The mountain air was deliciously cool and invigorating. Every now and then a small clearing was revealed where stood some modest wayside house, or little group of houses, from which the settlers fluttered their little be-flagged welcomes. It spoke volumes.”

Wilson’s photography was much more down to earth. In the image reproduced here, the Prince is seen wearing a gray hat with dark band in the centre of the picture. The Shire Chairman is on his right in a top hat.

A large crowd surrounds them. The village of Amiens is in the background with various forms of transport parked in front. An Australian flag flies on the far left. More of Wilson’s photos and details of this occasion can be found in the Commemorative Booklet “The Prince of Wales visits Amiens” obtainable at the Amiens Legacy Centre.

They all show a crowd comprised of men in suits wearing hats similar to the prince that must have been very fashionable at the time, members of the military in uniform, and ladies wearing much more striking millinery than the men folk.

Wilson also records the gift of a koala to the Prince. It is unclear if the animal was live or stuffed, but if the former, it was probably released somewhere along the rail line out of Amiens and if the latter it may still be in the Prince of Wales’ vault in Clarence House.

GARDEN TIME

BEATRICE HAWKINS

CACTUS GARDEN TO BE A REALITY When I first moved into my house in Warwick there was a section of the yard that to me seemed ideal to turn into a succulent/ cactus garden.

My driveway is rather steep and the north eastern side of that is not very wide and quite hard to mow.

I envisaged that with a few large rocks, some weed matting and gravel, a sump and a solar pump, I could reticulate the water and turn this area into a small waterfall and watercourse with a variety of hardy succulents and cactus growing on the remainder of the area.

I still have the dream and vision but as yet it has not come to fruition. Over the last 2 years I don’t seem to have been home long enough to accomplish much before family calls and I am away again!

I have done some research on plants though and think I have found some that will be suitable and stand up to our climate.

Yuccas or Joshua trees as they are also called, are very hardy, but they also grow too big for where I am thinking.

Aloes in some form seem as if they might be ideal. I don’t want anything to sharp or prickly, but some of the smaller varieties might be suitable. I also want colour and they fit the bill nicely there as they come in a variety of shades of green, blue greys and even reds. They are also striped or plain leaved and many also flower.

dots on them and has orange flowers in the winter.

Now I realise some of these are not going to be readily available and that I also might find that they will not handle our winters, but I will give those that I do find a good try. As with most things in my garden they have to be able to thrive on neglect or at least survive on it!

Echeveria is another succulent that I know will grow in the place I want to put it as I already have some in a pot close to the proposed gravel garden. They appear to come in a variety of colours from blue grey through green to deep burgundy.

Sedums are another one that I think will do ok and also come in a variety of colours and sizes. They seem to typically grow to about 8 inches high and come in all colours from blues to greys, to bi colours and deep

According to the World Check-list of Selected Plant Families there are about 580 different species of aloe so from that number one would think I should be able to find a few that will be suitable.

One I have recently seen is a spiral aloe, aloe polyphylla, and it looks most attractive and very close to the ground. Apparently it doesn’t flower readily but when it does they are spectacular and attract bees.

Aloe cameronii is another that I would like to find as it appears to have deep burgundy foliage and red flowers in the winter.

Aloe striata has broad, flat, green leaves with no prickles and the leaves turn pink in the sun. That one seems like a “must have” variety.

Aloe aristata has green leaves with white

purple/burgundy and even a bright lime green.

Then, of course, there is a huge range of cactus to choose from. Once again I don’t really want anything too prickly but there are so many that are covered in that fine soft hairy coat that I am sure I’ll be able to find some to fill a corner and add interest.

While I am away I spend many evenings dreaming of what I might be able to achieve when I am home again! This particular area is one that I am fairly determined to get set up during this spring and summer.

Of course, if I find succulents and cactus are not going achieve the effect I want, there is always a range of lovely, hardy grasses that would fit the bill! Assorted “Red Hot Pokers”, kniphofia uvaria, would also look good and they come in such a variety of colours and flowering times these days, that I would be able to have continuing spots of colour. I know they will survive our climate as they withstood the cold of my garden on the NSW northern tablelands.

The first thing I will have to get done though, is the placement of a couple of large rocks to act as the start of my watercourse and then put in a few smaller ones to slow the flow down the slope. Ah well, it is good to dream!!

Don’t forget to look after your garden ready for the competition in October and to have entries for the various sections in the spring flower show also. ●

CASEY O’CONNOR

SPARE A THOUGHT FOR JOCKEYS As much as some things in our society have been turned upside down there are some things that no matter what, remain unchanged.

August 1, the official birthday of every thoroughbred in Australia and the start of the new racing season, is one of those fixed points no matter what else is happening around us.

Jockey Celebration Day is also recognised and celebrated at racetracks across the country, including locally, on August 1.

This past Saturday’s celebration provided an opportunity for the entire racing industry to support the objectives of Jockey Celebration Day by recognising the work of former and current jockeys, as well as those lost.

Race meetings around Australia observed a minute silence in honour of jockeys who have lost their lives in races, followed by a prayer for safety as the new season began led by the Australian Racing Christian Chaplaincy.

The August celebration is held annually and is an initiative of the National Jockeys Trust and the Australian Jockeys Association. 2020 marks the 16th anniversary of Jockey Celebration Day and of the National Jockeys Trust (NJT) itself.

Since 2004, the NJT has provided more than $4.5 million in assistance to more than 400 jockeys and the families of freetimes.com.au

jockeys that have lost their lives.

Approximately 200 riders are injured each year on Australian racetracks, with around 500 falls annually.

There is much scrutiny of jockeys these days. That scrutiny does not come with multi-million-dollar contracts that we see young footballers signing on for.

For a jockey, racing instead comes with a strict personal regime, an even stricter set of rules, a great deal of hard yakka, no guarantee of success, no guarantee of a pot of gold and no guarantee that there will not be injuries or loss of life.

The only real guarantee a jockey has is that at some stage someone will tell them they could do their job better no matter where they sit in the pecking order and sack them.

If you did not pause and reflect on the courage and contributions of hoops this past Saturday, then when you next have a punt spare a thought for jockey’s and their contribution to the racing industry.

Casey COMPETITION HOT IN OPENING ROUNDS OF CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP Another busy weekend of golf for members and guests of the Stanthorpe Golf Club.

The opening two rounds of the club championships were played Saturday and Sunday. The final two rounds will be completed this weekend.

In addition, the August Monthly Medal

and putting comepitition were decided after Saturday’s round.

Nathan Stibbard has been in excellent touch in recent weeks and he continued to impress on Saturday in the Men’s Medal event which was sponsored by A1 Floor coverings and Lighting. Stibbard returned 69 nett for the win however a countback was required to decide the eventual winner when Ian Henderson also completed his round with the same score. The countback resulted in a win for Stibbard and Henderson was forced to settle for the runner’s up prize this time. Jason Hatton returned the Best gross score after his par round of 72. In the putting stakes, David Burgess led the charge. He needed only 26 putts for the round and claimed a win in the putting event.

Lyn Ludlow led the way in the Ladies event.

The August Monthly Medal was hers after she finished the round with nett 71 four shots clear of runner up Trish Fittock (75).

Ludlow shared the putting honours (28 putts) with Racheal Hendry, who returned the Best Gross score in the Ladies competition (90), returning the best gross score overall.

The second round of the Club Championships played on Sunday was a stroke event and was sponsored by Chris Fittock Plumbing and Gas.

In ideal conditions it was Max Hunter who swept all before him with a score of nett 66 after returning 85 off the stick.

Sunday’s Runner up was Darryl Boekholt (nett 69) Sandra Morris returned a winning score of nett 66 in the Ladies event ahead of Trish Fittock nett 68) who again finished in the runner’s up spot. Maybe this week Trish.

After two rounds of the championships some favourites have emerged from the pack.

Vying for honours in the A Grade competition, Jason Hatton holds a slender two shot lead over Brendan Barker. The result is very much in the balance.

Trevor Ludlow holds a comfortable lead over the field in the B Grade. Tod Beckett and Ian Harvey lead the charge of those trying to catch him at halfway mark.

In C grade, Max Hunter holds just a oneshot advantage while others in contention are Bruce Green and Ian Henderson.

The battle for honours in the Ladies Division One is very close with nothing between leaders Racheal Hendry and Lyn Ludlow at the halfway mark. In Division 2, Trish Fittock has a solid lead however Neta Thouard is still in with a chance.

There will also be ‘nett’ champions in all grades and divisions.

All players are encouraged to complete the remaining rounds as handicaps come into the final scores.

THE SPIN From previous page Saturday and Sunday’s starting times will be seeded and expected tee off times are on the sheet at the club.

There are also time spots available for players who did not compete or complete the first two rounds.

BACK TO THE TRACK AT LAST On Monday, the Warwick Turf Club opened the gates at Allman Park to the public for the first time since the COVID 19 restrictions came into place in Queensland.

While the Club has been fortunate to host several TAB meetings over the past couple of months they have been closed to the public.

There was a huge sigh of relief when Monday dawned fine and sunny and punters enjoyed perfect conditions for their return to the track.

After recent rain the track itself was in perfect order and rated a good four for the seven-event programme which was well supported by owners, trainers and jockeys.

Punters hoping for a winner in the opening event, a 2000 metre maiden, took a hammering when rank outsider Dydee’s Girl after leading in the early stages fought back in the straight and kicked away for an easy win.

The six-year-old mare, who is trained in Springsure by Vic Heading and ridden

by Girish Goomany, was unwanted in the betting and started at the prohibitive odds of $91 and was cheered home by every bookmaker on course.

Sunshine Coast visitor Stazzana, who put the writing on the wall with a raft of recent placings, broke her maiden in the next event the 1200m TAB Maiden . Starting at $5.50, the mare is trained by Corey and Kylie Geran. Under hard riding from Gary Geran the very well backed Stazzana raced clear in the straight to beat Grey Intentions ($20) and the favourite B’Daisy ($1.80).

Punters were feeling better about themselves when the short priced favourite Battle Through got the money in the third race, a QTIS Benchmark 60 over the 800-metre sprint journey. Despite wanting to runabout in the straight, the Toowoomba galloper was punched-out in the straight by jockey Les Tilley and won by a little more than a length on the line.

The fourth race, a TAB Benchmark 58 also over the 800-metre journey, went the way of another Toowoomba visitor, Hidden Eyes from the Donald Baker stable.

Ridden by apprentice jockey Nathan Fazackerley, who claimed 1.5 kgs, Hidden Eyes started at $7 and finished strongly down the centre of the track to get the prize. Equal Favourite Seclude finished second and The Bumblebee ($11) rounded out the placings.

Punters cheered the short priced favourite Coup from the Michael Nolan stable all the way to line in the next. From barrier rise, jockey Alex Patis worked hard to hold onto the lead on the rails. Despite working hard in the early stages of the race the four-year-old made light of his 60kg impost and ran away for a comfortable win close to the post.

Gladstone visitor Sir Magic had the bookmakers cheering in the second last when he raced through the field fanned off the course presenting jockey Gemma Steele with a saloon passage in the straight.

The eight-year-old, who was placed two starts prior in Rockhampton, started at $41.

Locally trained Grandiso, ridden by Les Tilley, started favourite ($2.60) and finished second for the Les Clarke stable.

Punters were looking for a reprieve in the last and the Les Clarke galloper Military Kings ($3.60) gave them something to smile about. Jockey Les Tilley had the 30 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES

|

locally trained galloper back in the field and straightening for home had plenty to do spotting the leaders several lengths.

Tilley rode for luck in the straight weaving through the field and finished strongly on the inside to the cheers of the local owners and punters. He took the riding honours for the day. Military Kings providing him with the second leg of a double having won earlier on Battle Through.

Warwick Turf Club president Phil Grant said the meeting was successful and thanked the community for their support in spite of the social distancing requirements.

Grant said the club will now work towards the popular Warwick Cup Day meeting in October and are hoping that there are no further setbacks.

PAIRS CHAMPIONSHIPS DECIDED The Summit Bowls Club “A” and “B” Pairs Champions were played last weekend. The weather gods turned on perfect weather and the green was running extremely well.

At the end of play on Saturday, four teams lined-up were left for Sunday’s semi-finals.

Barry Murphy and Tyler Sweeney played Pam Moore and Eliseo Zamprogno in the first semi-final. Pam and Eliseo began well and at one point led by 11 shots to two. Barry and Tyler fought back to lead by 20 shots to 17 with three ends to play. They held on to win 22-18 after a few close misses.

In the second semi, after leading 13-seven Brian Wilmot and Jamie Zamprogno defeated held on to defeat Maree Ball and Rob Capelli 17-16.

Rob Capelli had his chance to snatch victory for he and his partner on the final end with his last bowl but it narrowly missed the jack.

In the final, which featured two of the club’s young guns and two not so young ones, Brian Wilmot and Jamie Zamprogno played Barry Murphy and Tyler Sweeney.

By the time it got underway, the green had dried out and gained extra pace. Barry and Tyler started well and led 10-nil early in the game.

Their opponents settled down and after 15 ends trailed 15-13. The pair held their nerve and scored on five of the last six ends to win 23-17. There were some outstanding bowls played in the final and the final score did not reflect the close nature of the match.

Many of the last ends were decided by close measures. A feature of the game was the conversion shots played by both skips.

With these championships decided, the programme for the remainder of August follows:· Sat Aug 8 Social Bowls · Sun Aug 9 Sunday Morning Social · Sat Aug 15 Trophy Afternoon Sponsored by Darren · Sun Aug 16 Sunday Morning Social · Tues Aug 18 Turkey Triples · Sat Aug 22 Hosting Men’s District Pairs · Sun Aug 23 Men’s District Pairs venue to be decided Sunday morning social · Fri Aug 28 Family Barbeque PERFECT CONDITIONS ON RISDON RANGE The Southern Downs Rifle Club held a shoot last Sunday at the Risdon Range. A fine morning and perfect conditions produced some excellent scores. Murray Reck continued his good form to win the 300 yards F Class (open). Hot on his heels was runner up Richard McKillop (124.8). Other scores included Neil Sexton (120.6); Bruce McAllan (115.6); Trevor Jones (107.1); Kevin Jones (98). (maximum score 126) Dave Taylor (120.10) had a good shoot in Standard class-ahead of Trevor Smith (91.1). (maximum score 126)

Thursday, 6 August, 2020

The A & B pairs championships were decided at the Summit Bowls Club on Sunday. The winners, Brian Wilmot and Jamie Zampgrogno are pictured receiving the Trophy from Club President Tony Schubert Bob Tyllyer took the honours in the 300 yards military rifle class.

WINS CONTINE FOR WOLVES COLTS Warwick Wolves Colts scored a hard fought one - nil win victory over Saint Albans on Saturday afternoon and remain undefeated this season. A late goal to Harry Whitaker sealed victory for the Wolves.

The Warwick/Stanthorpe boys certainly did not have things their own way in what was a tough game.

St Albans created a number of opportunities but were kept at bay thanks to a strong goalkeeping performance by Joey Brown. His performance in goals saw him voted man of the match.

Brown pulled off some magnificent saves from both close range and distance to thwart the St Albans attack.

Jacob Walters also had a strong game while Logan Laidlaw showed plenty of determination and grit to defuse a number of Saint Alban attacks. Ariel Walsh who continues to improve with each game also deserves special mention.

The Wolves maintain their undefeated status however the competition results confirm that the 2020 competition is very tight.

CRAZY TRIPLES; PEACE BOWLS WHAT NEXT Someone at the Southern Cross Bowls Club must have had a quiet word to the weather

gods because conditions this past Thursday were perfect for Cheryl, Daphne, Joe, Bill, Steve, Barry, Val and Geoff who were chasing the kitty..

Saturday, the club had some great games of Crazy Triples, swapping the six teams around on the rinks . It was Bill Lee, John Lawardon and Pat Gainey who eventually finished with the top score and scored some bottles of wine for their efforts.

Word has it, Bill Lee should have been put to the Covid-19 test thermometer as he was running so hot. Gary Hughes, Good News, Val Gray and Steve Tyter aren’t likely to starve as they grabbed second place which came with meal vouchers from the Criterion Hotel. Clark came up trumps with the cash in the Lucky Sweep.

Adding plenty of colour to the afternoon was a group of around 20 barefoot bowlers who were celebrating a “Peace” birthday party. They were a colourful lot and had a great day on the green judging by the laughter and singing. I am reliably informed there was some bowls played and my sources say they “took enough grass”.

Not sure what was in those cupcakes, but smiles were in abundance and there were many raffle winners at afternoon tea.

Thanks to Daphne and Cheryl for their stint in the kitchen and the bar staff for keeping everyone suitably lubricated.

Today, Thursday (August 6), the ladies are holding a meeting at 10.30am which will be followed by Social Mixed Bowls commencing at 1pm.

Everyone is welcome. No bowls, no worries. Beginners can have a go with bowls supplied. Simply be at the club by 12.30pm.Please direct any inquires to Chris, the Ladies President (Phone 0412 027 342).

On Saturday (August 8) Clark has organised another fun afternoon of Social Mixed Bowls which will be sponsored by Vince “Grasshopper” Hemmings and there should be plenty of prizes up for grabs.

BATTLE OF REDBACKS IN GATTON It was the battle of the Redbacks in Gatton this past Sunday. In unseasonably hot conditions the Stanthorpe United Redbacks men’s team took on the Gatton Redbacks.

An undermanned Stanthorpe United showed plenty of character in the game.

Brilliant goalkeeping from United keeper Rowdy Carnell ensured United stayed in the game. With only one substitution to call on, due to sickness and injuries, it was a tough ask for United. The situation was not helped when their one sub was forced to be used 30 minutes into the first half.

New recruit Andrew Crestani played brilliantly with Aidan Halford in the backline. His brother may have a tough job replacing him when he returns from injury.

United had their chances, hitting the post on three occasions. Simon Mascadri played his best game of the season while Hunter Murphy and Jordan Lanza both played strongly creating many opportunities for the forwards.

The score was nil-all with 10 minutes remaining when Gatton broke the deadlock scoring the only goal of the game.

United played right to the final whistle but it was not their day but can be proud of their performance.

This Sunday the United Men play in Warwick at 1 pm. The Stanthorpe boys are hoping a huge contingent of Stanthorpe football supporters will get behind them when they face off against the competition heavyweights West Wanderers.

CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON Tis the season of the Championships among many of the Bowls clubs in the district and last week the weather gods smiled on the ladies playing in the final of the A Grade Singles at the Stanthorpe Bowls Club.

The bowling throughout the comepitition was of a very high standard and in the final Wendy Hurnall outpointing Robyn Rose 25-11. Congratulations to both players and a special mention to Helen Jones for acting as marker in this game.

Double and triples played on the day .Luisa Girgenti and John Fairley just outscored Gordon Gallaway and Brian Brown in the doubles. In a close game the final score was14-16. In the Triples Sylean Fairley Ernie Jones and Len Girgenti scored a 21-17 win over Gary Trevena Dot Rankin and Frank Gallo in a very coemptive game.

Conditions on the weekend were far better than last Wednesday when some brave souls played Doubles in the very chilly conditions. In the first game Ernie Jones and John Fairley took the honours with a 19-11 win over Robin Rose and Brian Brown.

In the other game Sylean Fairley and Ray Rankin scored a 19-12 win Dot Rankin and Gordon Gallaway 19-12.

The improved weather conditions should be tempting bowlers back out onto the greens. If you would like to join in or would simply like “to give bowls a go” join the regulars any Wednesday or Saturday afternoon. Everyone is welcome.

PRESIDENT SNATCHES A WIN Stanthorpe Sporters hit the golf course bright and early on Sunday morning before the Club Championship field took over.

There was only a small field with many players involved in the Championships. It was EL Presidente, Ray Thorn who snatched the win on Sunday just ahead of runner up John Rawlings.

The arrival of our viral friend, COVID has thrown the August program into disarray forcing several cancellation including the scheduled QPS Legacy Day, the annual Ladies Downs and South West three day event, where Sporters had proposed a bus trip away. (Absolutely no truth in the rumour circulating that the trophy was to be a cruise on the Ruby Princess) The Sporters’ golf thought for the week - “’No matter how bad things are, you can always make them worse”..Randy Pausch BUSY BUSY AT WARWICK BOWLS Another busy Wednesday last week at the Warwick Bowls Club with the afternoon sponsored by Trish and Dawn. There were 18 bowlers on the course and some good bowls resulted in some excellent results;Trevor Wright, R Bean and J Johnson had a 26-19 win over J White, Y Reid and P Wagner. H Gibson, D Phillips, G Davis played R Forbes, Richard Tartan and M Holder scoring a 27-12 win. T Prichard, T Gallagher and Peter Collis proved too good on the day for P Seipelt, E Welsh and John Ruhle. The score 18-13.

In a cunning move, the girls decided that the prize would go to the lowest winning margin! So Peter Collis and his team snuck away with the prize from and Johnno Johnson team, the runner’s up.

Like many other club’s the semi-finals of the Championship Singles were played on Saturday (August 1) with the following results, John Ruhle defeated Richard Tartan 26-13 in the game marked by Trevor Wright. Tartan started with a flourish winning four of the first seven ends taking a 7-2 lead. Unfortunately for him it was all downhill from there.

It was great to see 88-year-old Tom Seaniger back on the green. He played Mick O’Leary in the second semi. O’Leary dominated the earlier ends but Seaniger staged a spirited fight back towards the end of the game. The final score 25-18, in O’Leary’s favour. The game was marked by Jim Rickard. The final will be played on Saturday. John Ruhle takes on Mick O’Leary. Both players are in good form and this should be a great game.
