MORE TO LOVE THE LATEST IN NEWS

The editor’s desk I had the opportunity to catch up with members of the Southern Downs Ex-Services Association ahead of Vietnam Veterans’ Day for this week’s cover story (see pages 4-5).

Along with local RSL Sub-Branches the SDESA is a valuable source of support for local veterans, including those who’ve seen service in more recent conflicts in theatres such as Afghanistan and Iraq.

From talking with SDESA members I had my own eyes opened to some of the realities of life for veterans I had not previously considered. Like most people, members of my own family have been veterans - while you think you have a fair handle on the subject it turns out there’s always room to broaden the understanding.

For some veterans, avoiding gatherings and commemorations is part of their way of coping - and it’s very much each to their own. But what I can say is that the SDESA are a very welcoming and friendly group and any veteran out there who may be struggling with reclusiveness - and mental health - will find shared experience and genuine support at the SDESA.

‘BORDER BUBBLE’ LOCAL IMPACTS

BY TANIA PHILLIPS The border closure is not expected to slow Stanthorpe’s current tourism boom but across the border in Tenterfield it’s a different story with the ‘Border Bubble’ introduced on Saturday already having an effect on the NSW town.

Both regions began to pick up in June but while that growth is now being stifled by the border closure in Tenterfield, Granite Belt Wine and Tourism President Martin Cooper said with nearly all their region’s tourism coming from Brisbane, the Sunshine and Gold Coast that region’s boom was expected to continue until later in the year. “Once the restrictions were eased and lifted things have taken off and the result is its very hard to get accommodation bookings, all of the restaurants (although still limited) are basically full every session, wineries have got wine sales they’ve never seen before,� Martin said. “It’s been fabulous since early June.�

He said rather than hinder tourism in the area, southern border restrictions had actually helped the region. “In terms of the Queensland tourism industry the restrictions from Melbourne and Sydney hotspots have been really hard for the North Queensland people - Cairns, Townsville, Whitsundays - but I’ve got to say the restrictions, as they currently apply, I think have been largely responsible for the boom we’ve seen here on the Granite belt,�

Martin said. “As soon as those restrictions were lifted back in June our phones ran hot - every time we turned the computer on there were another nine or ten bookings.�

He said his own business, Ridgemill Estate Winery and Cabins, had not had accommodation available for the next long weekend since mid-June. “If you want a weekend at Ridgemill

BORDER PASSES ...

On Monday of this week the Queensland Government and Queensland Police advised of changes to Border Pass declarations - primarily designed to provide more essential travel flexibility for residents in border communities.

The changes included the introduction of five categories of Border Pass - residents affected are

Tourist Zoe Walter with the Brass Monkey statue. It’s said Stanthorpe gets ‘cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey’ and this winter season has seen the largest volume of winter visitors in Stanthorpe since the ‘Brass Monkey Season’ brand was first coined to lure winter travellers to Stanthorpe.

Picture: GRANITE BELT WINE & TOURISM Estate we don’t have one available until mid to late October,� he said. “Our tourists are coming from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast and we are seeing across the board - talking to the other accommodation places and other wineries we’re all seeing the same. “There are a lot of first-timers to the

Granite belt - the feedback we’re getting is, ‘Wow - we didn’t know this was here’.�

Martin Cooper said he understood Queensland’s out-bound international tourism was estimated at $9 billion a year. “When you sit and think there’s nine billion bucks worth of expenditure that isn’t going anywhere - I think that’s what we’re

advised to apply online at www.qld.gov. au/border-pass The website also has extensive information on travel restrictions related to the declaration of NSW as whole-state COVID-19 hotspot.

Queensland Police said residents living in the declared ‘border zone’ will be able to apply for a new declaration border pass but will only be permitted to travel within the border zone in Queensland and New South Wales.

The new Queensland Border Declaration Passes consist of the following categories: •฀X PASS: Border zone resident, issued to persons living in a border zone who are not required to quarantine. •฀G PASS: General, issued to a Queensland resident or interstate visitors who are allowed to enter Queensland and are not subject to a quarantine direction. This pass cannot be used at a New South

seeing,� he said. “People saying, we’re still going to travel and they’re going to places they haven’t visited before. It’s an ill wind ... “ While Tenterfield also saw a spike in tourism it looks set to be short-lived according to Mayor Peter Petty. “It’s had a huge increase over the past six weeks,� Cr Petty said this week. “There’s been a noted increase in travellers and tourists to the shire which has been good. “But the whole border bubble is going to affect us big time.�

Cr Petty said tourists now had no way of visiting the town, which is on the road to recovery after major bush fires and droughts in recent times. “They can’t get here - if it’s proved that you’re outside the area you should be travelling in it’s a 14-day lockdown,� Cr Petty said. “We’ve just got to wind things back again but hopefully we will get to the end of it all soon than later and then we can get on with it again.�

Before the latest lockdown Tenterfield Shire had been planning to run a couple of their usual festivals at a reduced level and while those plans are now on hold, they have only been postponed not cancelled. “Everything is ready to rock and roll, we’ve got plenty of things that are sitting there that can be activated very quickly as far as events and community things that we planned to do,� Cr Petty said. “But we’re just waiting for the lifting of the restrictions to go bang - here we go. “It’s not our council’s fault and the community are fully aware of that. “We’ve got to adhere to rules and regulations of the government and we do - we don’t want to get anyone in trouble or put anyone at risk.� �

Wales road border. •฀S PASS: Specialist, issued to exempt persons who have been to a COVID-19 declared hotspot and are not required to quarantine. •฀F PASS: Freight, issued to freight, logistics and transport workers who are not required to quarantine. •฀Q PASS: Quarantine Direction, issued to a person who is allowed to enter Queensland but must quarantine. �

COVER STORY

COVER PHOTO – SDESA members (back row) Terry Smart, Ken Ashton and Ron Moody. Front row – Alan Doust, Barry Kelly, Pete Ashton and Ray Wingett. Above – the SDESA headquarters at the corner of Tooth and Wood Streets is a place of mateship for all veterans, as well as housing a significant collection of military memorabilia.

“NOT ALONE”

BY JEREMY SOLLARS

S

upport through friendship and understanding”.

That’s the motto of the Southern Downs Ex-Services Association, who are reaching out to any military veteran in our region who may be fighting a lonely battle on a number of fronts - not the least of which can be mental health.

Next Tuesday 18 August is Vietnam Veterans’ Day, which will be commemorated in Warwick with a service at the Leslie Park

Cenotaph commencing at 10.45am.

But every other week of the year the welcoming crew at SDESA get together at their Tooth Street headquarters on a Friday morning to enjoy a few hours of fellowship - or more accurately comradeship - which as it turns out is a lot more than just sharing a cuppa and a few laughs with mates.

Indeed, for some SDESA members, the group has literally been a life-saver.

These days the ranks of Aussie veterans are predominantly made up of those who served in Vietnam - Word War 2 vets are

M&M TIMBER

few remaining - but they also include younger members of Australian forces who’ve seen active service in places like Afghanistan and Iraq in more recent times.

Regardless of their theatre of service all veterans can face the same health challenges - along with accessing government, medical and related support - and the message from SDESA is that you needn’t do it alone.

The SDESA has around 80 current members from across the Warwick region but they know there are veterans in our local communities who for whatever reason do not connect. In some cases, they’re almost

certainly living the life of a recluse.

It’s fair to say that fellowship is not necessarily for everyone, and for some veterans avoiding veterans’ groups, commemoration days and any discussion of their war experiences can be their own coping strategy of choice. Former officers - who saw some of those under their command die - are a particular case in point.

But it’s clear that SDESA is a place where you can spend time with others who ‘get it’, and there’s no distinctions of rank, branch of service or combat place or time.

Several members are frank and upfront about their individual struggles with thoughts of suicide - including past attempts - along with grog and drug battles and relationship difficulties, including with current and former partners and children.

One member simply says that “if it wasn’t for this group I wouldn’t be around”.

It’s a stark statement, but perhaps it’s high time the issue of veteran suicide is talked about more openly.

We know that men in particular are less likely to talk openly of their mental health struggles and veterans are by their nature a tough bunch. But behind much goodnatured inter-service banter and general mirth - and there is plenty of humour involved - there’s a very serious side to groups like SDESA. While all veterans can face conditions like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Australians who served in Vietnam not only had to deal with the mental consequences of being shot at on a regular basis and watching mates die, they also returned home to an Aussie public largely hostile towards the first modern conflict played out on their television screens, and to those who fought in it.

Even if - either as ‘regulars’ or ‘called up’ through National Service - they were doing the duty their government, and by extension the community as a whole, expected of them.

Unlike other veterans - and remembering Korean War vets were treated with indifference at best on their own return - there were few grand parades for the ‘returning heroes’ of Vietnam in the late 60s and early 70s, many of whom disembarked

onto home soil from aircraft in the middle of the night. For many the only later greeting they recall was in the form of protests, and many also recall the uncaring attitude of the defence authorities.

While public perception of the Vietnam War has perhaps softened to some extent in recent years - at least the attitudes towards its veterans - it is clear that for many Vietnam vets the memory of that homecoming reception is still raw, and it still hurts.

Not only were they shunned by people ‘in the street’ and even family members, they were also shunned by other veterans and in some instances by the RSL. Work, and the re-adjustment to civilian life it can bring as well as a pay-packet, could be hard to find, and harder still the medical help particularly psychological and psychiatric - many desperately required.

One SDESA member laughs heartily when telling the story of being sent to see “a counsellor, who turned out to be a hippie with Ho Chi Minh sandals and a ponytail let’s just say he wasn’t a supporter of the war and I turned around and walked straight back out again”.

While they acknowledge the RSL of today is highly supportive of Vietnam vets - their professional advocates provide vital assistance when dealing with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs and RSL sub-branches are likewise great sources of comradeship and support of all kinds some SDESA members are frank about their perception of the RSL as an organisation nationally when they came home from Vietnam.

“I know blokes who applied to join their local sub-branch and were turned away,” one says.

“Some of the World War 2 vets just didn’t want to know them.

“And you could only join if you were 21, which a lot of guys weren’t when they came home.

“For others they (RSL clubs) were just another place you could go to drink, again if you were 21.

“You could be sent to fight in a war at 19 or 20 but you couldn’t legally drink back then.

“If you were old enough you either went to the pub or you went to your local RSL and you got pissed every weekend.

“That was the ‘therapy’ and drinking and drugs was how a lot of us coped and some still do - it’s a way of avoiding expressing your feelings.

“And that whole issue of not dealing with the experiences you went through, that’s had consequences for family life and for relationships over the years.

“It’s not coincidence that some of us are on our second or third marriages.”

A major turning point for Australian Vietnam veterans was in 1987, when the then Hawke Government held the ‘Welcome Home Parade’ in Sydney in October. More than 20,000 Vietnam veterans took part in the parade, cheered on by a crowd numbering several hundred thousand.

An SDESA member who was there says the Parade was emotionally overwhelming, but in a positive way.

“The thing I remember most clearly was being in Hyde Park afterwards and these three Huey choppers went overhead

- you could feel everyone just froze at that moment,” he says.

“People understand the effect the sound of a helicopter can have on Vietnam veterans but for us it tended to be good sound - it meant you were being re-supplied or that someone who was injured was being choppered out.”

For some veterans return visits to Vietnam in later life have also proved therapeutic, perhaps for want of a better word, and rather eye-opening. For others, it’s not something they’ve ever considered it seems to be a case of ‘each to their own’.

Two SDESA members who took a trip back there together in 2019 - around two decades after their military service - did so in part to visit an orphanage to which they had made donations over the years.

Overall, they were “blown away” by the friendliness of the Vietnamese people, “especially when they find out you’re Australian”.

“The Vietnamese tend to refer to it as the ‘American War’ - they seem very much to look at Australians differently,” one said.

“Their term for us is ‘Uc Da Loi’.

“I think there’s a feeling amongst them that our troops were more humane, if that’s the word.

“They’re very tolerant people, and it’s a beautiful country.”

How do its members sum up the SDESA? It’s about “remembering those who didn’t make it home, respecting everyone’s service and what they did, and being here for each other”.

“It’s a lot more than just a tin shed.”

BORE PROJECT ONGOING: SDRC

BY JEREMY SOLLARS The Southern Downs Regional Council says the search for alternative water sources for the region is continuing while drought conditions persist, and while we continue to await further updates from the Queensland Government on the proposed Toowoomba to Warwick pipeline first announced back in January.

Substantial rain in February of this year - which now seems like ‘forever’ ago - produced handy inflows into Leslie and Connolly Dams in Warwick. Based on council calculations this means there is a sufficient supply of town water for Warwick, Allora and Yangan and for Stanthorpe for around 30 months, remembering Stanthorpe’s water is being trucked from Connolly Dam. That’s also based on current household town water restrictions of 120 litres per person per day, and an assumption that drought conditions will persist. It also factors in water for Stanthorpe being taken from Leslie Dam if Connolly were to run dry.

While the February rain eased the immediate pressure on the need to find additional ‘emergency’ water sources, the council is still actively pursuing investigation of the region’s underground or bore water supplies. These are more or less confined to the Warwick and surrounding districts - due to the topography of the Granite Belt underground water sources for Stanthorpe are far more limited.

BORE PROJECT ONGOING: SDRC From page 9 Using bore water for town water supply also has a few issues. The bores need to be located on public land - either council, State Government or crown - and bore water needs to be pumped up to the surface and then pumped further to water treatment plants.

In many cases bore water will also require significant treatment to bring it up to drinking standard - bore water can contain a wide variety of naturallyoccurring elements which in ‘raw’ untreated form can render it unsuitable for drinking, from both a health and taste perspective.

To date the council says the most ‘viable’ source of bore water it has identified are the ‘old’ Allora bores. A town water pipeline connecting Allora to the Warwick treated supply was completed in 2014 - prior to that three bores located on Bradfields Road just south of Allora were its water source.

Since the town water pipeline went in those bores have sat ‘dormant’, but the council says their testing has found the bores could ‘yield’ up to one megalitre (ML) of water per day. To put that in some perspective, Stanthorpe as a town requires about 1.3ML per day to meet its household usage needs.

While ‘a meg a day’ is a pretty good output, for the Allora bores to be useable as an ‘emergency’ drinking water source in extreme drought conditions the bores themselves would need to be ‘re-commissioned’ with new pipes and

pumps, and the water itself would most likely be treated at the existing reservoir, a few kilometres to the north next to the Allora waste facility. Allora’s bore water is ‘hard’ water, meaning it contains high amounts of natural mineral elements so as well as purification it would also need ‘softening’. To treat it to drinking standard would require the installation of a small treatment plant at the reservoir - pumping and treatment is not insurmountable, but it would come at a cost.

Treated water from the Allora bores could then be used both to supply Allora itself and the remainder sent back down the existing town pipeline to Warwick to supplement the Warwick supply.

The council’s Manager of Water Lalji Rathod says while current dam levels mean the search for emergency water supplies has “changed to some extent, work on supplementary water is ongoing”.

In the current financial year the council has budgeted nearly $172,000 for “bore investigation and rejuvenation” and while Allora looks the most promising location so far for underground supplies, Lalji Rathod says the council continues to investigate other sites in the Warwick and Allora areas, “in the Dalrymple Creek and Condamine River alluviums”, or floodplains.

“The need for supplementary water is not as pressing as it was at the start of this year, but we are continuing with that work,” Lalji told the Free Times this week.

“The main issue with bore water will

always be quality and treating it to a suitable standard,” he said.

“You also want bores to be close to existing water infrastructure wherever possible for ease of transfer and treatment.

“So far council has assessed nine potential bore sites, at Allora and at Pratten, Yangan and Wallangarra.

“So far Allora is showing as the most viable location, but we’re also confident the bore supply at Wallangarra could come online to supplement Beehive Dam and The Soak if it needed to.

“What we’re now doing is looking to pinpoint other potential sites close to Warwick, within the Condamine alluvium catchment.

NATURE WALK

Wednesday 19th August (for all age groups)

The Granite Belt’s unique flora will be the focus of a series of wildflower walks being conducted over the next three months by the Stanthorpe Rare Wildflower Consortium, with the first being on this Sunday 16 August in the Amiens area, just west of Stanthorpe.

Spokesperson for the Consortium, Liz Bourne, said the walks aimed to show people some of the diversity of the flora of the Granite Belt as well as helping them to identify local species and learn more about their ecological requirements.

“We have been running these springtime walks for a number of years now and they have been very popular with visitors as well as the local community,” Liz said.

“After the recent rain, many species are already flowering so there should be plenty to see on the walk.

“The local Wallangarra wattle (Acacia adunca) is particularly spectacular at present.”

Ms Bourne said that as part of their activities to raise public awareness about the local flora, the group had produced a colour booklet which depicts over 250 of the species that people are most likely to come across and these would be available for sale at the walks, along with the group’s comprehensive flora book and a guide to local eucalypts.

She said that anyone with an interest in the Granite Belt’s wildflowers was invited to come along on the walk. The group will be meeting outside the Amiens School at 1337

AGVET $2.4M

MARKETS SUMMARY

The Coalition Government says it has “extended the Improved Access to Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals program by a further twelve months”.

Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management David Littleproud said the extension would benefit Australian farmers and research corporations through access to safe and effective AgVet chemical solutions that manage priority pest and diseases.

“The $2.4 million investment will extend the Australian Governments’ existing $14.3 million investment to improve access to safe and effective chemicals,” Mr Littleproud said.

“Research and Development Corporations will receive $2 million in funding through the grants component of the program.

“The grants assist smaller industries that currently find it difficult to gain access to AgVet chemical products because it may not be considered as profitable for chemical companies to register uses in such industries.”

Mr Littleproud said Australian farmers would benefit from the extension through improved access to priority AgVet chemicals, provide greater flexibility to farmers to treat pests and diseases.

“Agricultural and veterinary chemicals are critical to Australian agriculture and have brought long-term benefits by reducing the effects of weeds, pests and diseases on agricultural and forestry production,” he said.

“This has led to increased productivity, better quality produce, more competitive industries and improved environmental outcomes.

“The extension will continue to improve the productivity of Australian farmers by providing access to priority AgVet chemicals required to manage pests and diseases.

“ABARES found that the average return to industry for a dollar invested through this program was $117! Its returns on investment like that which will help us reach our $100 billion dollar target for the value of agriculture by 2030.”

Goats are still in short supply and heavy demand which has seen them fully firm in all types.

As in all areas markets are not cut and dried as we saw over the last two sheep sales. With numbers back in the first week combined with a religious festival the rate

for lambs was fully firm to dearer in week 1, come week two and with the Covid-19 restrictions affecting major distributors in Victoria and the annual flush of new season lambs finding their way into the market saw a sharp decline in the value of lambs in week two of the selling period.

The averages were not as severe as southern markets, but the heavy end saw rates drop an average of $35 which was subsidised by the fully firm rate paid by re-stockers.

As in all markets numbers dictate to some extent how our prices are to come in.

The feature we have this year compared to last year is the amount of feed in paddocks and the lack of numbers in feedlots.

Dr McCarthy said the importance of the role the catch boxes would play in national biosecurity efforts cannot be overstated.

“Varroa mite is a major concern for Australia’s horticultural and agricultural sectors and has the potential to wipe out our natural honeybee population if the destructive mite gets into the country,” she said.

“This would have a significant impact on pollination services, as industries like

“In fact, it’s estimated that horticultural industries save more than $50 million per year, each year, that Australia remains free of varroa mite through avoiding costs of control, paid pollination services and lost production in pollination-dependent crops.”

The work was funded through the combined Plant Health Australia and Department of Agriculture and Water Resources project ‘Refinement, development and deployment of remote catchboxes as part of the overarching National Bee Pest Surveillance Program 2019-2021’. ●

Like the tiny yet destructive honeybee pests and diseases they’re designed to detect, remote catch boxes developed at the University of Southern Queensland to intercept pest bees don’t look like a big deal to the naked eye.

But in a true case of ‘it’s what’s on the inside that counts’, the catch boxes are packed with advanced technology offering round the clock surveillance at ports where exotic swarms of bees are often found as cargo stowaways.

Designed specifically to catch honeybee pests like the varroa mite, the boxes contain a self-contained electronics module with camera-based bee swarm detection, a compact solar panel and battery, and 4G mobile network connectivity. The system sends alerts when a swarm is detected, and biosecurity officers can remotely catch the swarm by closing the box’s electronic door via a web portal.

Lead designer and researcher Dr Cheryl McCarthy from the University of Southern Queensland’s Centre for Agricultural Engineering said a total of 40 remote catch boxes have been manufactured for deployment to ports around the country.

“Catch boxes have been part of Australia’s surveillance strategy for some time but they’ve always relied on a manual process, where a bait box inspector would have to physically visit possibly remote port

SOUTHERN FREE TIMES 13

RURAL LINKS The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has delivered a scathing interim report on water markets and water trading in the Murray-Darling Basin.

HAVE YOUR SAY ON BASIN TRADING The Federal Government - including Federal Agriculture Minister and local Maranoa MP David Littleproud - has vowed to act, but only in so far as pushing the states to agree on future steps, citing the "constitutional" responsibility for water lying with state governments.

The politics over the Basin is set to continue to drag on - but here's the summary of the ACCC interim report.

The final report is due to be delivered to Treasurer Josh Frydenberg by the end of November this year...

FROM THE ACCC REPORT...

Water trading has brought substantial benefits to water users across the Basin.

Water markets allow irrigators to increase their water supplies, to earn income by selling their water rights when they are more valuable to someone else, to expand production, or to release capital for investment in their businesses. The benefit of water markets is demonstrated by the fact that, despite tough and volatile climatic conditions, the value of production from irrigated agriculture in the Southern Basin has trended upwards in real terms since 2010-11.1 That is not to say that the benefits derived from water markets are universal, or equally shared between participants and regions. The ACCC acknowledges that some individuals, industries and regions have experienced adverse consequences due to water markets.

Governments face challenges in addressing these issues, without negating the benefits that water markets generate.

Water trading in the Basin had its origins in informal arrangements between neighbouring farmers, where one farmer's surplus water could be transferred to a neighbour who needed extra water. Over the past two decades it has evolved into a complex, Basin-wide market with an annual value estimated at more than $1.5 billion per year. The ACCC's interim conclusion is that the governance, regulatory and operational frameworks supporting water markets have not developed to accommodate a market of this scale, and are no longer adequate.

The many benefits derived from water trading, including maximising the economic performance of irrigated agriculture, rely on fair and efficient water markets, underpinned by an environmentally healthy river system.

This depends on: · a governance framework that ensures trading rules and regulations are developed and implemented with a Basin-wide perspective, and in close connection to the river system's physical characteristics · clear trading rules that apply consistently across the Basin · regulation of market participants that promotes open and fair trading, and which is robustly enforced.

However, the ACCC's interim view is that the current governance of the Basin and the regulatory frameworks for water trading do not meet these standards. There are significant deficiencies associated with the settings and governance of water trading, which undermines the efficiency of water markets and their dependent industries.

The key problems the ACCC has identified include that: · water market intermediaries such as brokers and water-exchange platforms operate in a mostly unregulated environment, allowing conflicts of interest to arise, and opportunities for transactions to be reported improperly · there are scant rules to guard against the emergence of conduct aimed at manipulating market prices, and no particular body to monitor the trading activities of market participants · there are information failures which limit the openness of markets and favour better-resourced and professional traders who can take advantage of opportunities such as inter-valley trade/transfer openings · differences in trade processes and water registries between the Basin States prevent participants from gaining a full, timely and accurate picture of water trade, including price, supply and demand · important information, such as allocation policies and river operations policy, which can significantly impact water pricing, are inadequately communicated to the irrigators and traders who rely on these to make business decisions · there is a disconnect between the rules of the trading system and the physical characteristics of the river system. For example, on river delivery capacity scarcity, conveyance losses and adverse environmental impacts are not considered

in the processing of trades that change the location of water use, except through some blunt and imprecise rules, such as limits on inter-valley trade/transfers · overarching governance arrangements, which result in regulatory fragmentation and overlapping of roles of different governing bodies, contribute to many of these problems, or prevent them from being addressed in an effective and timely way.

A serious additional consequence of these problems is that many water users do not trust that the markets and key institutions are fair or working to the benefit of water users, in particular irrigation farmers.

Impediments to informed and confident trading by many irrigators caused by these problems is likely to impede investment that is important for efficient agricultural production.

In response to these concerns, some market participants have called for a return to the system where water was tied to land, perhaps with some limited trade between water users only. The ACCC does not support this position. Dismantling existing water markets would mean the benefits that markets provide to many water users would be lost, and this would be to the detriment of the Australian economy. It would also significantly diminish the value of water entitlements, which make up a substantial proportion of the assets owned by irrigation farmers.

Many of the issues that the ACCC views as harmful to open and efficient water trading are grounded in failures of governance. Water markets have developed at different times across different regions as an adjunct to broader water management reform, resulting in an extremely complex, fragmented and inconsistent system.

Many of the historical market settings and governance arrangements are no longer suitable to deliver all of the potential benefits of trade.

The ACCC's preliminary view is there is a need to reconsider governance frameworks focused on the proactive development and regulation of markets, to promote open and fair trade across the Basin.

The ACCC will be considering governance and other options for improving water trading markets, and seeks feedback on these issues, ahead of its final report. ●

EMU SWAMP DAM - LATEST UPDATE

BY DAN HUNT, GBIP PROJECT CHAIRMAN Looking back at the history of the Granite Belt Irrigation Project (GBIP) we are delighted by the progress that has been made in 2020 and the major steps that have been taken towards building this muchneeded piece of water infrastructure for local primary producers and communities.

The recent appointment of national engineering consultancy Premise places us in a strong position to obtain the necessary government permits and approvals to prepare tenders for construction for the dam and the pipeline in the near future.

GBIP has also appointed specialist land acquisition and compensation advisory company, Minsol Group, to investigate the pipeline corridor. Minsol Group has begun talking to around 51 landholders and agribusiness customers about access, or acquiring land along the 117km pipeline route. In a series of stages over coming weeks, landholders can expect a letter from the Minsol Group, asking for a meeting to discuss the route, to help lead us to accurately cost the project and to obtain necessary approvals to kick-start construction.

GBIP is, in part, funded by $23.4 million from local irrigators, the highest proportion of private investment in water infrastructure in Queensland’s history, and we believe this is testament to the value this Project will bring to water security, production and

prosperity to the communities, farmers and other businesses of the Granite Belt. This massive investment also clearly highlights the desperate need for this reliable water source in the region.

Last month, Canberra showed their support for the Project with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, Michael McCormack and Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management David Littleproud visiting the Granite Belt to tour the Project site.

The fact the Ministers made this concerted effort to see our work firsthand, and to speak with the local community, shows their commitment to GBIP moving forward - and this was most certainly reflected in the comments they made throughout the visit.

Minister McCormack said the construction of Emu Swamp Dam would be the catalyst for change on the mainland to build dams - because there’s communities right across Australia, like us, who need this type of water infrastructure.

Minister Littleproud said he was keen to see dozers and excavators moving to get the Project started and reiterated the best time to build infrastructure like this is now, when our economy is in a recession, because it will create jobs and help get our economy moving again.

At the end of July we also held a function at Stanthorpe’s Queensland College of Wine Tourism (QCWT) to thank the wonderful people of the Granite Belt community who have invested so much of their valuable time and energy to move this Project to where it is today, in particular the Stanthorpe and Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce, who were the only community organisation to deliver a detailed business case for this water infrastructure proposal.

On the night, Southern Downs Regional Council Mayor Vic Pennisi welcomed the establishment of our own community hub in the main street at 3/35 Maryland Street.

Mayor Pennisi said he looked forward to the official opening of the office soon.

Please feel free to drop into the shop or email us at info@granitebeltwater.com.au.

It’s really important to us the community is with us every step of the way as we edge closer to starting this vital Project.

FOCUS ON … Seniors Week

RESIDENTS CELEBRATE MILESTONE

BY TANIA PHILLIPS After a visit to Oak Tree Retirement Village Warwick, it’s difficult to pick which is the most prominent feature: the picturesque rural riverside setting or the friendly community that envelops the village.

But one thing that’s undoubtable is the pride that the residents have in their homes and their village that’s about to turn ten.

Set on the banks of the Condamine River, nature abounds, while the conveniences of the town centre are located just minutes away. From the wide open surrounding spaces to the onsite bowling green to the Village Centre and pool, there’s no shortage of things to see and do.

For current resident Kathryn Barnes, getting a sense of the space during her first visit quickly allayed any reservations she may have had about village living.

“I have definitely changed my tune and happily admit to being completely wrong,” Kathryn said.

“I was very pleasantly surprised that everything was so light, bright and airy. I was attracted by the welcoming feel of the place and the nice location on the river.

Moving into Oak Tree has made me feel safe and secure.”

Whether it’s long-term Warwick residents wanting to retire in the area they know and love, moving to be closer

to family, or following in the footsteps of friends already in the village, Oak Tree Warwick definitely has all the hallmarks of a local community. In this friendly, carefree community, there’s always someone to talk to, cheery waves for passing neighbours, familiar faces while out for walks, or connecting over a shared leisure interest.

Resident Rosemary Rasanen has no doubts that making the move was the best decision she and her husband ever made.

“We had a lovely home in Warwick, but it was on a big corner block and it was just too much for us to manage,” she said.

“So we moved to a new, smaller home at Oak Tree and in doing so, we have actually

upgraded our life!”

As the village nears its 10-year milestone, who better to reflect on what it means to call Oak Tree home than the first person to ever do so, Daphne Cross.

“Living at Oak Tree has a feeling of peace, happiness, love and lifestyle of its own,” she said.

What advice does the original resident have for anyone looking to make a change?

“Just make the move.”

MORE THAN 50 YEARS OF FINANCIAL EXPERIENCE

BY TANIA PHILLIPS Sandstone Financial Pty Ltd was born out of the desire to provide personal ongoing financial advice to enable their clients their desired lifestyle. Between the staff they have in excess of 50-years-experience in the finance industry and offer invaluable financial knowledge to help clients make informed decisions and guide them through a complex and constantly changing environment to provide financial security for their future.

Servicing Brisbane, Darling Downs, Granite Belt and Lockyer Valley, they aim to provide holistic advice including wealth

creation and risk management.

Pam and Dan have been providing financial advice in the greater Darling Downs area for more than 18 years.

Pam is accredited and specialises in Retirement Planning, Centrelink and Aged Care advice. Pam believes these areas are very important stages of someone’s life and often there is only a small window of opportunity to set up finances in a manner that will benefit in the future. She said it was important to start planning early.

“When it comes to Age Care it can be a very emotional and stressing time for the family and emotional decisions are often not the best,” Pam explained.

“The Age Care process can be overwhelming and you need to make timely financial decisions, not to mention the need to understand such things as RADs, RACs, DAPs, DACs, MTAs, MTFs, MASs, having someone that is detached and knowledgeable in this area and who can navigate you through the complex Age Care and Centrelink maze will provide you with peace of mind and allow you to focus on your loved ones.

“We can provide different options and a balance between maintaining or accessing Centrelink, minimising fees and ensuring ongoing affordability to provide the needed Age Care for your loved ones. We can help

EXPERIENCE & COMPASSION

BY TANIA PHILLIPS

Thank you to every senior for your invaluable contribution in making the Southern Downs Electorate a vibrant, diverse and prosperous region for everyone to share.

JAMES LISTER MP Member for Southern Downs

Death comes to us all and while we don’t know when or how in most cases, that doesn’t mean that preparations can’t be made.

In fact, Raymond Mattiazzi from Carnarvon Funeral Services believes planning financially, legally, and personally can help take the emotional and financial pressure off grieving families and ensure that the person’s wishes are followed.

He said while most of us plan-ahead for holidays, marriages, the future education of children and even retirement we often avoid funeral planning, the topic of prepaid funeral plans or death cover.

However, this is changing.

“We’re seeing more and more and people setting up funeral benefit plans and funds because they don’t want their families to deal with getting asked a hundred questions and of course how much is this going to cost? Money wasn’t put aside for this.

There’s this massive amount of pressure on,” Mr Mattiazzi said.

He said if people have not set something up and their loved ones aren’t ready emotionally, psychologically, or financially it can get pretty stressful.

“And nine times out of ten it’s the financial side that gets everybody,” Mr Mattiazzi said.

He said people just don’t have the money laying around to suddenly pay for a funeral.

“We are seriously encouraging, especially the younger generation, to get into the insurances we offer, they’re so cheap, and it’s something that carries with you for the rest of your life,” he said.

Carnarvon Funeral Services is named for the bridge just near their premises and is a long-established business in the town looking after generations of residents through the years.

They aim to deliver careful, thoughtful attention, before during and after their services and are honoured to be asked for help by local families in their time of need.

They know how just how difficult this time can be, with grief and other emotions clouding the need to attend to a loved ones’ personal affairs as well as the added stress of arranging a funeral service.

Mr Mattiazzi has owned the business for 20 years after working for the previous owner part-time for four years and he and his team bring a great deal of experience, knowledge, and compassion at that time in need.

“We want to give the very best to our community because everybody deserves that,” he said.

“I really feel it’s not a matter of having to do it but a matter of wanting to do it as well and you do it to the best of your ability and sometimes you have to go over and above the call of duty, if that is what it takes that is what it takes. That’s what gives you the edge and keeps your high level of business practice in place, raising the bar all the time I suppose.

“People expect a lot and they should get it.

“We take care of everything and that’s peace of mind for families.”

Carnarvon Funerals - planning is the key.

Curves is not a traditional gym. It is a facility, specially designed for women featuring a complete 30-minute workout that is fun, fast, and safe for all ages.

The Curves Circuit is designed to work every major muscle group for women.

There is always find a Curves Coach in the centre of the circuit to advise, guide, and motivate the members through the 30-minute workout.

With the inclusion of Curves Specialty Classes, the Curves programs allow for continued progression in strength building.

Functional movement, balance training, dance movements, and flexibility are also incorporated into various classes that are available to all members. Curves believe strength training will work no matter how old you are and that it’s never too late to start!

The gym aims to provide an effective workout that combines strength training, cardio and stretching that can give their ladies the ability to move confidently and help them be more resilient at any age.

Strength training at Curves also aims to help reduce the risk of common health problems including osteoporosis, arthritis, and general joint pain with the staff believing strong muscles help protect and support joints.

Curves believe strength Training will make the entire body stronger: As a result, this makes everyday living and moving throughout the day become much easier including the ability to lift grocery bags, kids and grandkids, as well as walking upstairs,

and even just getting in and out of the car.

However, at Curves they believe “strong” is about so much more than building muscles.

The Curves program provides women with what they need to feel great - strong bodies, strong balance, and a strong community. Curves also aims to help build strong relationships and bonds that improve their members mentally.

At Curves, connecting with the members is critical . . . that’s the reason their circuit equipment is set up in a circle.

The first connection a new member will experience is with the Circuit Coach.

The Curves Coach is always present on the Circuit to guide and motivate, helping ensure that the member get the best results possible in their 30-minute workout.

Next, Curves believe participants will find the member to member connection invaluable. The commitment of a 30-minute strength training workout the times per week aims to provide an opportunity to connect with other likeminded women and build real friendships.

At Curves, they are hoping to help as many women as possible improve their health and fitness.

Why not drop in today (or call them on 4661 4892) for a no obligation consultation and a tour of the club to can see the circuit in action and try the equipment. They also encourage prospective members to bring along a friend or a family member to support them.

COME AND TRY THE SENIORS PROGRAMS

BY TANIA PHILLIPS THE Warwick Indoor Recreation and Aquatic Centre, now managed by the YMCA, is a fantastic place to visit, get fit and get involved in the community whatever your age or fitness level.

During Seniors Week they are offering a free seven-day pass to seniors who have never attended the centre before to take classes. The seven-day pass means that seniors can come along for themselves (and not just to drop off the grand kids) and attend all of the various classes for free to get a feel of what is there.

And according WIRAC manager Karen Peters the Centre has a lot to offer seniors through their seniors-orientated Prime Mover Programs - gentle type exercise

Enjoying the fun. programs aimed at the 50s and over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have gentle aqua aerobics programs and normal aqua aerobics, yoga, pilates that sort of activity,â&#x20AC;? Karen explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of senior programs that

are usually held through the day.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are currently running badminton which is great for a lot of seniors and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at table tennis in term four though we are doing a bit of that now as trial.â&#x20AC;?

She said there was also the Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Swimming Club for those looking for something a bit active.

The club meets each Sunday morning at 9am and while it is open to anyone over 18 seniors are certainly part of the mix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We basically we cater for everyone,â&#x20AC;?

Karen said.

We have the hydro-therapy pool as well and that you can have access to every day.

There are morning sessions, lunch time sessions and evening sessions for everybody - whether your seniors or not. You might have an injury or just need that time in the hydro-therapy. That pool is heated at 35-36 degrees so it suits a lot of people.

WFS PROUD TO SERVE MEMBERS

BY TANIA PHILLIPS In Warwick it is easy to see why seniors should be celebrated during Seniors Week and every week according to Warwick Friendly Society General Manager Ahmad Almesfer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Warwick community provides the most wonderful example of seniors engaged and thriving!â&#x20AC;? Ahmad said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everywhere you look our older people are involved in making the most wonderful things happen for our community.â&#x20AC;?

To this end Warwick Friendly Society will once again be celebrating Seniors Week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be together this year we can still celebrate,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year the Warwick Friendly Society Seniors Week activity will be online. Follow our Facebook page from 15 - 23 August to see some familiar faces share their favourite recipes to try at home.â&#x20AC;?

The Friendly Society has many services to support members and the Warwick community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like any new life stage getting older

brings its own challenges,â&#x20AC;? Ahmad said.

Medication Packing Services: for those sick of having to juggle multiple medications, containers and boxes the MPS packets are small, easy to open pouches that hold up to ten medications at each dose.

These prepacked sachets can even include vitamins or other non-script medications which have to be taken regularly. Each is individually labelled with the medication and dose information and small enough to slip discreetly into a pocket or handbag. â&#x2014;?

BUSINESS PROFILE

STAND OUT...

BY TANIA PHILLIPS Qualified teacher, proofreader, editor and experienced businesswoman Anne Lindsay has seen a lot of resumes in her time.

And according to Anne - the woman behind the business In Writing (a business profile writing business) - a good resume is one that helps you stand out from the crowd.

She said this is particularly important in our current climate.

“The purpose of the business is to assist people to compose their resumes, their business writing - letter writing, professional documents anything like that where they feel that they just need some professional help at putting pen to paper,” the licensed Real Estate Agent and Auctioneer explained.

“One of the things I do is help people

write resumes but I don’t necessarily write them for them word for word.

“I want to make sure that the resume is in the language that they are comfortable with - a reflection of themselves and not of someone who writes it on their behalf. I find that’s a distinct difference.”

Anne’s own personal CV reads rather impressively - qualified teacher, Bachelor of Education, Diploma of Teaching, Diploma of Business, qualified proofreader and editor, business owner, Licensed Real Estate agent, Licensed Auctioneer and a past director of the board of the REIQ.

THE SPIN

CASEY O’CONNOR

THE CIRCUS CONTINUES The NRL circus rolls on and what a circus it has become with lots of clowns and a very angry ring master.

The Covid bubble looks like it is in danger of exploding not just bursting following the raft of protocols breached in the past week.

Now we all know that Wayne “Super Coach” Bennett has feet of clay and is human after all.

Privately he is probably feeling like a bit of a goose.

Pizza may no longer seem so appertising after the last one cost him a $20,000 fine.

Paul Vaughan on the other hand has probably sworn off coffee after his $10,000 fine.

Seriously, did Alfie really think he and a couple of mates could get away with a trip to the Caxton to celebrate his birthday and no-one would notice or spill the beans?

The actions of Tevita Pangia Jnr simply defies belief and now gives new meaning to having a “Bad Hair Day.” While coaches have been put on notice - Do not think you can call into question the integrity of referees and get off lightly.

Ivan Cleary now $20,00 lighter in the pocket.

With six rounds of fixtures remaining, the ring master Peter V’Landy’s has put the clubs, players and officials on notice.

The ARLC commission chairman is furious.

Anyone who breaks rank by stepping outside the code’s bubble and causing another breach of protocol could crush the code and cost it more than $200 million in losses. I don’t imagine anyone wants that on their CV. Really people, how difficult can it be?

- Casey NUMBERS TAKE A HIT Numbers on the greens at the Stanthorpe Bowls club took a bit of a hit last week with several players sidelined.

Among those on the sick list were Mary and Remo Zeppa and members wish them a speedy recovery.

In the fours game played on Wednesday the final score of was 27-9. Val White Gary Trevena Ernie Jones and Len Girgenti certainly handled the conditions far better than their opponents Luisa Girgenti Gordon Gallaway Helen Jones and Brian Brown.

The conditions on Saturday were bordering on arctic when Gordon Gallaway, Bruno Stefanon and Brian Brown took on Luisa Girgenti, Ernie Jones and Ray Rankin.

The final score 23-10 and we believe all players suffered no permanent damage from the conditions.

The Stanthorpe Bowls club is actively looking for new members.

Bowls is a game that suits males and females and players of all age groups so why not come pop put to the club and try the game.

The first four games are free.

Bowls are supplied and tuition is available. If you are interested in further details please contact Len Girgenti on 0477500402.

POPULAR MONTHLY TRIPLES RETURN Twelve teams from around the district were on the green for the return of the Warwick Bowls club Monthly Triples comepitition on Tuesday, 4 August.

Winners were Johnno Johnsons teams with 33 points.

Ralph Tait’s team snared the runner’s up prize finishing with 31 points.

In round the opening round the winning team of C Davidson, G Davis, J Johnson had a 16-3 win over J Cochrane, K Weir, G Green 3.

The eventual runner’s up K Bloomfield, K Hayes, R Tate also had a 16-3 win over their opponents D Phillips, Y Reid, T Wright.

In the Skips only round the win 17-2 of Johnno Johnson in his game against B black proved the winning difference. Ralph Tate scoring a 14-5 in his game.

Social bowls were played on Wednesday, 5 August. T Gallagher and J Ruhle defeated H Gibson and J White 33-7.

The final of the Club Singles between John Ruhle and Mick O’Leary was a corker.

Ruhle got away to great start and after 18 ends held a 19-8 advantage.

O’Leary however fought back rolling long ends to trail by three shots on the 24th end.

There must have been something in the tea at the tea break because after the break Ruhle skipped away to win 25-17.

A look at the stats shows just how close this contest was; 18 ends were won by only one shot.

Congratulations to John Ruhle and commiserations to Mick O’Leary who played a great game..

BUSY TIME FOR WARWICK LADIES A field of 28 played in the Ladies Single Stableford comepitition at the Warwick Golf Club on Wednesday 5 August.

SUMMIT BOWLERS SHRUG OFF ELEMENTS Last Saturday afternoon 16 players braved the Summit elements. My source tells me that there were some wild bowls played by a couple of bowlers and the elements were not responsible. They were cases of what could only be described as serious operator error.

Artie Zamprogno and Rod Newlands proved no match for Tina Schubert and Carl Sutherland going down 20-12. Alana Scott and Frank Taylor had a 23-11 win in their game against Brian Brown, Jamie Zamprogno..

SCHEDULING MESS FOR WOMEN’S CRICKET One of the superstars of Australian cricket Alyssa Healy has taken a swipe at organisers for a change in scheduling that will see a clash between the WBBL and WIPL. At a time when Women’s cricket in Australia is on the rise it appears to be a strange move and has angered Healy and plenty of her team mates and overseas counterparts.

The Australians are set to miss out on the women’s Indian Premier League exhibition series yet again, with Alyssa Healy describing a needless schedule clash with the WBBL as “sad”.

Thursday, 13 August, 2020

Healy and other teammates were shocked to read a report on Sunday night that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was looking at a window of 1-10 November.

“The WBBL and BBL don’t run simultaneously,” Healy posted on Twitter.

“So why does the IPL and WIPL have to?

“Considering how fantastic the WBBL is for the internationals who play in it (and for us). Would be a sad move for our sport.”

There appears to be plenty of support for Healy’s stance.

Australia vice-captain Rachael Haynes tweeted that “while the game continues to grow, premier domestic competitions do not need to compete against each other” while teammate Jessica Jonassen posted “I have no words for this”.

2020 CUP MEETING CANCELLED The Stanthorpe Jockey Club this week made the very tough decision to cancel the 2020 Stanthorpe Cup meeting set down for Caulfield Cup Day, 17 October as a result of the Covid 19 Pandemic.

Club President, Chips Brunckhorst said that it was a decision he and his committee had not made lightly.

“We are acutely aware of the importance of the meeting to the Stanthorpe Community and many Stanthorpe businesses,” Mr Brunckhorst said.

The uncertainty surrounding the Pandemic and the strict Covid-19 restrictions they would have been required to adhere to made going ahead with the meeting unrealistic.

“It is a disappointing outcome but the club is looking forward to a bigger and better Cup day in 2021, “ Brunckhorst said.

There are plenty of disappointed patrons if the response on social media to the news is anything to go by. It looks like there will be plenty of private Caulfield Cup Day functions around the district.

FIERCE COMPETITION Comepitition was fierce between the 57 members who teed off in the Warwick Men’s Single Stableford event.

With a score of 41 points for the round it was committeeman Brendan Landrigan who finished on top. His score just enough to get home by a stroke from Trevor King (40 points). It was a welcome return to form for both players after some ordinary rounds recently. They will be both hoping their form continues.

The ball run down went as follows:Don Stewart and Brodie Quirk (38); Rhys Farrell (37represented a two over off the stick); Trevor Rock and Dave Speedy (36); Toowoomba visitor Cameron Strachan (35) Peter Millard, Bert Bownds, Michael Hoskin, Peter Tomkins and Gary Russell Sharam (34). Also in the field were visiting golfers from Pelican Waters and Killara.

Sam and Mel McLennan recently recorded an excellent win in the final of the Lane Cup event. They played great golf throughout the playoffs defeating Garry and Marg Adcock and Tony and Majella Kahler in the earlier rounds before facing Helen Olsen and Mick Banks in the final. In a high quality final all four played well. Sam and Mel winning one up on the 18th green.

Mick Banks had a six footer for the half at the end but just missed after recording a brilliant three over off the stick on the front nine in an exciting game.

The men’s 4BBB handicap match play has reached the final round. Sean Haynes and Ben Brownlie will play Evan Pfeffer and Doug Wilson in the final.

This Saturday members play in a single Stableford event and on the same day the nominations for the match play championships open.

The nomination sheet will be on the

clubhouse board and players must nominate prior to the closure of nominations on Saturday September 5.

At the close of nominations, the seeded draw will be done for all three grades and posted on the board. All players are encouraged to get involved in the match play championships which some believe is the purest form of golf.

STANTHORPE UNITED HOME IN A THIRLLER Stanthorpe United returned to the winners stall after a gutsy 2-1 come from behind win over West Wanderers on Sunday.

After narrow losses to two of the top flight teams in recent weeks United were keen to turn their fortunes around. Early in the game it was almost “dejà vu” for the Redbacks as they conceded an early goal.

Lack of midfield pressure allowed West Wanderers to shoot from distance and the ball found the back of the net.

United rallied and were unlucky not to score with h ball hitting the post or was cleared of the line on a number of occasions.

At the half time break the scores remained one nil but the United players knew they were knocking on the door.

Ten minutes into the second half, new recruit Brad Thompson scored on debut to level the scores. Thompson rounded the Wanderers fullback and hit the ball perfectly on an acute angle, guiding it perfectly into the goal.

The goal had an immediate effect lifting the spirits of the United players.

They continued the barrage of raids on the Wanderers goal. One attack forcing a corner, which was perfectly taken by Purcell who found Hunter Murphy’s head.

Murphy powerfully hit the ball inside the far post giving the Wanderers defence no chance to prevent United taking the lead.

Wanderers had their chances to equalise but the combination of Carnell’s cool head and strong defence from Hitchener, Lanza, Halford and Crestani kept Wanderers at bay.

While all players contributed to the win, Jared Hitchener again played strongly out wide. Jordan Lanza looked very comfortable in defence. Simon Mascadri and Brad Thompson will flourish as their match fitness improves in coming weeks.

United next game is against Hawks this Sunday at Harristown Oval.

The Warwick / Stanthorpe Colts game scheduled for Saturday was cancelled due to the wet conditions.

WOLVES DOMINATE The Warwick Wolves Premier Men’s side had a huge 12-0 round six win over Highfields in their home game on Sunday.

Brad Cook and Sam McLennan had a field day. Both found the back of the net on three occasions while Nicholas Spence scored a double. Davey, Butler, S. Charles O’Dea were also successful finding the back of the net as the home-side dominated.

After six rounds the win puts the Wolves at the top of the competition table. On Saturday the Wolves host the Garden City Raiders.

The Ladies team also had a successful home game scoring a 4-1 win over West Wanderers. Goals for the ladies came from Goals Madison Kane ; Jessica Barnett Sharni Rielly and Esther Ritchie. The girls now sit in second place on the ladder having beaten all of the opposing teams at least once.

Coach Bruce Greenaway says the team is reaping rewards of their efforts at training.

The girls are playing well and their team work is the corner stone of their success.

He is quietly confident that the girl’s will match it with the Gatton Redbacks when they play them in an away game this weekend. freetimes.com.au

KEITH LIFE OF THE CLUB Keith Allen has been awarded Life Membership for his services to Stanthorpe Golf Club.

President Steve Kay had the honour of presenting the award earlier this month, thanking Keith for his dedication and contribution to the Club over the years and his valuable fellowship.

Keith has been playing golf for close to 60 years.

The earliest record of his club membership however is 11 October 1976. Back in 1976 Keith, his wife Dawn and the late Maureen Bates played socially as members of Sporters on a Sunday morning. The reason the current archives don’t reflect his earlier exploits has a lot to do with the fire that destroyed the old club house and many records.

Keith’s association and involvement with the club began long before that.

He remembers partnering one of the club legends, Molly Pratt, in a 4BBB in his early golfing days and failed to get on the card once.

A couple of his other notable playing buddies in the early days were Barry Brunckhorst and the late Ken Whitton.

In making the presentation Steve Kay acknowledged the longevity of his membership.

In the past eight years Keith has been responsible for ordering and maintaining Bar stock.

This important role came with some challenges.

Like many of his generation Keith was not computer savvy but in a short space of time he mastered not only the on and off switch but also the intricacies of using a spreadsheet.

He then put in place an accountable system of monthly stock control and goes out of his way to ensure he is getting the best deal for the club when sourcing supplies.

For many years, Keith also maintained and carried out the club’s The club was thrilled to recently learn they had been successful in securing a $9,000 grant from the Southern Downs Regional Council for two electronic targets.

The total cost of the targets was $11,000.

CRAZY CLARK DOES IT AGAIN This past Saturday that crazy guy at Southern Cross Bowls was at it again. He organised another 24 bowlers on the green.

Liam Holland and Dave Scotney showed the way winning the meal Criterion Hotel meal vouchers.

Linda Hartley, with the help of Roy Lowe, weren’t too far behind winning bottles of Pink French Sangria generously supplied by Val Gray.

There were plenty of prizes for “touchers” during the games. “Mega”

Keith Allen proudly displays his Life Membership Award. electrical work and is one of the members who regularly gives of his time as a volunteer working the bar and looking after the club lock up.

Many people may not be aware of one of Keith Allen’s most significant contributions to the Club.

In the 1990’s, the course was watered from town water supply and with the town facing water shortage issues Keith was instrumental in designing the Stanthorpe effluent water scheme to service the course.

He had a vision for the use of the wastewater and approached the Stanthorpe Council with his details of the proposal and planning and subsequently helped with the design and implementation.

His efforts were recognised by the then CEO Mr Terry Brennan.

In September 1994, in a letter to the club Brennan acknowledged that Mooney seemed very excited to win a giant miniature Mars Bar. You could hear him yelling in a voice that would put the Town Crier to shame.

Allan “orange peel” Davidson is ready to paint the town red after winning the cash in the Lucky Sweep.

There will be no bowls this Saturday.

Sunday 16 August, there will be Ladies and

Keith Allen’s input was invaluable in ensuring the acceptance of the Scheme by the Council.

The effluent water scheme has proven to be a lifeline for the facilities at the Stanthorpe Recreation Club.

Without Keith’s vision, expertise and belief in this project, the Golf Club would not have enjoyed what is now recognised as the luxury of a constant water supply.

Keith involvement of course stretches way beyond his volunteering.

At 81 he is the oldest member of the club but is still an active participant in the club’s fixtures.

He can be found on the course, playing most Saturday’s and Wednesday’s and is unlikely to miss the Vets comp on a Monday.

He is more than happy to be in the shout afterwards and has been known to have a wager on the outcome of a game.

Despite his many years involvement in and around the club, he does still have some unfulfilled ambitions - one that remains is “to win the 300club.”

A whole in one still eludes him but he says he will keep persisting.

His best performance to date is an eagle and a two on the par four eighth green.

While Keith is extremely proud to receive his life membership, he is more at home speaking of the achievements of grand-daughter Hannah Reeves, one of the brightest young talents in Queensland Golf.

He is happy to report that Hannah, who currently plays off plus two, has been accepted into the Queensland Academy of Sport.

Keith’s wife Dawn says he is well looked after. There is no denying that, but neither can you deny he is pretty impressive for a man of 81.

On the course Keith’s goal remains to play to his age, eg a gross score of 81. We hope he is still playing well into his 90s!

Keith Allen is truly deserving of the honour of life Membership. ● Men’s Meetings at 9am, followed by the AGM at 10am where the future direction of the club will be discussed.

Following the AGM play commences at 1pm in the race for the Frank O’Mara Memorial Shield. Be there by 12.30pm.

There will be prizes on offer and everybody is welcome, including visitors and beginners. Contact Clark 0427 673 277. ●

SPRING FOR A DAY It is difficult to remember given the weather we have endured over the weekend and early in the week but the previous Wednesday dawned as if Spring had sprung a little early (at least for one day) and the Warwick Sporters were not complaining as 58 members teed off in the pro-shop sponsored August stroke.

Unfortunately, the burst of spring-like weather saw some members break out the shorts and those post-winter legs emerged.

It was enough to cause mild illness and even put some members of their game or so they said.

Shane ‘Rambo’ Scotney had an excellent round of a nett 67 off his nine handicap to take the honours ahead of runner-up Dr Who Too, Brian Slattery, with a nett 68 off his 32 handicap( but not for long!)

Figuring in the ball run down were Clive Pulley and Danny Lyons (68), Bill Jubb and Greg Carey (69), Ian Skillen and Eddie Big Cods (70), Kerrin Delaney and Keith Clarke, Mick Banks, Charlie Morrison, Trevor Malone and Mick Payne, all off with 71.

The shots of the day prize went to Garry Two Names, whose second shot on the 10th fairway we are told hit a tree near the 8thgreen, rebounded and hit him on the hand and somehow ended up in the middle of the 9thfairway.

His next shot was no better, hitting a second tree near the 8th green.

For that effort, has been gets the “Couldn’t Hit a Bull in the Butt with a Handful of Wheat” award for August.

On Wednesday Sporters played in the amended program of Hawker Road Function Centre. Look for results in next week’s Spin. On Wednesday 19 August play will be in the Betta Home Living event The Sporters wisdom for the week:- “The only way to prove you are a good sport is to lose.”.. Ernie Banks SINGLES FINAL CANCELLED Due to the wet conditions last Saturday, the Warwick East Bowls Club A Grade singles final and mixed social bowls were postponed.

The B Grade singles competition kicks off this Saturday, with the following draw: S Morris vs D Hughes, C Lawler vs J Latemore, J Johnson vs S Ford, J Harslett vs D Weir. A reminder to all bowlers that play commences at 10 am.

There will also be mixed social bowls on Saturday afternoon, commencing at 1 pm.

Mixed triples were played last Thursday.

Overall winners were the team of S Tyter, S Ford, J Torrisi Tyter’s team. They had a 15-6 win in Round one and in the Skips only round Tyter had a 13-6 win over B Black.

Runners up were G Nicklich/E Diery’s team.

MCKILLOP HANDLES CONDITIONS Shooters were greeted with cold and windy conditions last Sunday morning. Richard McKillop overcame the conditions and posted a score of 122.10 (max 126) to take first place in open class. Greg Wilson also shot well in the standard class.
