Dam ‘milestone’

By Jeremy Sollars

sales and progress the next stage of this important piece of infrastructure for the Granite Belt community,” Mr Taylor said this week.

“We are asking these agribusinesses to confirm their long-term contract with the scheme, which will also allow us to validate the pipeline design and move forward with necessary approvals.

“We expect to have all water sales confirmed by the end of next month.

“Importantly, the completion of this phase will be a significant step towards breaking ground on construction of the dam.

“Once operational, Emu Swamp Dam will provide water security for irrigators by guaranteeing a monthly average of 90 per cent of their water allocation.

“It is a significant project for producers, the government, and the broader community, and is poised to boost the value of annual gross agricultural production by $68 million to create long-term jobs in farming and support industries in the Granite Belt.

In his September dam update Mr Taylor said landholders “in the pipeline corridor are being contacted by land acquisition and compensation advisory company, Minsol Group, to discuss land access and the route for the pipeline corridor”.

The Granite Belt Irrigation Project - better known as Emu Swamp Dam - has moved closer to its next milestone, with the Queensland Government this week announcing the “final phase” of water sales to 51 proposed irrigators has commenced.

Tenders for construction of the dam - seen as part of the region’s long-term water security plan - are yet to be announced but the water sales have been described by Queensland Minister for Natural Resources Dr Anthony Lynham as a “critical milestone in the construction of the 12,000 megalitre Emu Swamp Dam”.

Dr Lynham - who last week announced his impending retirement from state politics at the election due on Saturday 31 October - said “involved irrigators would finalise their water allocation agreements for the dam and pipeline project located south-west of Stanthorpe”.

The irrigators - who comprise a wide variety of horticultural producers across the Granite Belt - will pay both for a water allocation from Emu Swamp Dam and an annual contribution towards maintenance and operation of the dam’s pumping and distribution network.

“The Palaszczuk Government’s economic plan for Queensland, Unite and Recover, is focussed on building our traditional strengths

like agriculture to create local jobs and building infrastructure,” Dr Lynham said in a statement released to the Free Times this week.

“After a strong COVID-19 health response, we can now focus on that plan, with a $50 billion infrastructure guarantee to support communities and jobs across Queensland.

“Emu Swamp Dam will provide water to 51 agribusiness customers and bring wide-reaching benefits to the region.

“It is expected to create 250 jobs during construction, and 700 new full-time agriculture and supporting jobs in the region, to boost the wellbeing of the local community.

“The Palaszczuk Government has committed $13.6 million to kick start Emu Swamp Dam, with an advanced release of $6 million to fast-track the project.

“The collective monetary support from irrigators will total $23.4 million, 28 per cent of the cost of the scheme, to be the highest proportion of private investment in water infrastructure in Queensland’s history.”

Granite Belt Water chief executive office Lloyd Taylor said “finalising the financial commitment of local irrigators would trigger the next stage of works”.

“We will be working in consultation with irrigators over the next month to finalise water

It is not just saddles that Kent Saddlery at Stanthorpe do well, with the company taking out a major award in this year’s Darling Downs and South West Regional Training Awards.

The Saddlery, established in 1988, won the Small Business section in the awards announced online for the first time on Friday night and will now go through to the Queensland State finals to be announced this Friday with the national awards later in the year.

Production manager Josh Furness said the award was recognition for seven years struggling to ensure there were actually apprenticeship courses available for the leather-working industry and while the award wasn’t completely out of the blue it was still nice to be recognised.

Last year the business finally succeeded in having Leather Production recognized as a Queensland Apprenticeship- pioneering the avenue for saddlers around Queensland to gain training and employ apprenticeships.

Such was the company’s level of commitment to having apprenticeships that Josh and his wife Leah wrote six of the units that Qld Leather industry apprentices now study. The company employs eight apprentices of all ages including three who have just come out of school.

“It would have been nice to have a gala

dinner I think they normally have a pretty big event but it is a bit different this year,” Josh quipped.

“We weren’t really surprised to win because of the amount of work we’ve put in to get to where we are but it’s a nice surprise.”

Kent Saddlery’s commitment to training in the industry has been evident in the past few years, with the company working closely with the Department of Employment, Small Business, and Training, QMC, Queensland Agricultural Training College, and Tactile Learning Centre to enable saddlery apprenticeship training in Queensland.

“In 2013-14 we started to look at employing apprentices - at that time we could get an apprenticeship and certificate three in leather production,” Josh said.

However he said after two or three years the Victorian group providing the certificate folded and they began their battle to find courses and accreditation for apprentices.

He said while leatherwork is an old traditional industry, the saddlery has also embraced modern technology to help in the process and bring the industry into the modern age.

Now in its 59th year, the Queensland Training Awards recognize individuals and organisations striving and achieving success, best practice and innovation in vocational education and training.

Stanthorpe’s Kent Saddlery’s battle to keep their craft alive and accredited apprenticeship training has garnered the company a major award.

With 14 categories, the awards aim to showcase all that is great about VET in Queensland with categories for apprentices, trainees, vocational students, teachers and trainers as well as training providers and employers.

The editor’s desk It is pleasing to welcome new Southern Downs Regional Council chief executive officer Dave Burges to his role on Monday of this week (see page 3).

Mr Burges comes across as a downto-earth and quietly capable operator and for him it’s a return - or indeed something of a homecoming - to the region, having been born and bred in Stanthorpe.

It’s often overlooked that the SDRC is one of our region’s largest employers, with a workforce of close to 400.

Without dwelling too much on the past, morale within that workforce in recent years has clearly been an issue and the appointment of Mr Burges will be seen very much as part of what I hope will be a continued drive by the current council administration to improve the overall workplace culture within the organisation. I wish Mr Burges well in his new role and I am sure all employees of the council will likewise welcome his commencement, coming as it does at a time of great challenge both with COVID-19 and the drought.

On a tragic note, the Warwick community is this week mourning the death of Greg Newey in a motor vehicle accident on Wood Street on Monday.

I most recently saw Greg back in July when I paid a visit to the Warwick Clay Target Club which had just resumed activities after the COVID-19 lockdown. He was in great spirits that day and had in recent years been enjoying a well-earned retirement, following a long career in business and in business advocacy, and in a variety of community roles. I will remember him as a genial and straight-talking person of great passion for this community. His loss diminishes us all.

New CEO on deck

By Jeremy Sollars The Southern Downs Regional Council officially welcomed its new Chief Executive Officer Dave Burges to his new role on Monday of this week.

Mr Burges formally signed his contract documents with Mayor Vic Pennisi and councillors in the Warwick council chambers first up on Monday morning and told the Free Times he is brimming with enthusiasm for the role.

As CEO Mr Burges will be responsible for overseeing the operations of the Southern Downs Regional Council’s nearly 400-strong workforce during a time of challenge posed both by COVID-19 and the drought.

He said he will bring both a “collaborative and consultative style” to the CEO role and described himself as “very much a grass-roots person”.

Mr Burges replaces former CEO David Keenan whose role was terminated by “mutual agreement” shortly after the new council administration took office in April following the Queensland local government elections in late March.

Acting in the CEO role between April and this week was Director of Sustainable Development Jane Stroud who will now move back into that role.

Mr Burges - who was born and bred in Stanthorpe - and his wife Nina have also been spending this week completing the move to Warwick from Quilpie, where Mr Burges was most recently that shire’s CEO for the past nine years.

An engineer by background and qualification, Mr Burges has previously held senior roles at the Innisfail and Goondiwindi and Waggamba shires and prior to that with the former Ipswich City Council around the time it merged with Moreton Shire in the mid-1990s, where he began his local government career.

With around 1000 residents Quilpie Shire is somewhat smaller than the SDRC area population-wise but at 68,000 square kilometres is geographically one of the largest local government areas in Queensland.

It shares livestock industries as a key economic base with Southern Downs and also has a significant resources sector based on gas and oil.

Mayor Vic Pennisi has previously acknowledged there are “cultural issues” within the council workforce - one of the region’s largest - relating to staff morale and development which need to be addressed as a clear priority.

Those issues were highlighted in October last year when the Free Times was leaked a confidential consultants’ report showing a “deteriorating” culture within the council’s workforce and glaring issues with morale/ The Free Times had sought to obtain the report under Right To Information (RTI), a process the previous Dobie administration attempted to frustrate for close to a year before the report was leaked anonymously.

Mayor Pennisi has vowed to develop a better workforce culture within the council and sees the appointment of Mr Burges as a key step within that objective.

New Southern Downs Regional Council CEO Dave Burges formally commenced in the role this week.

MEETING CHANGES ...

The commencement of Mr Burges’ appointment coincides with a significant change to the council’s meeting structure which takes effect from next month.

Councillors will move to a new format of two general meetings each month, replacing a system of committee meetings held before the monthly general meeting.

The committee system was seen as duplicating decision-making processes with Cr Pennisi having said at the start of the new council’s term of office that the committee system would be trialled and evaluated.

The committees replaced the previous administration’s confidential ‘briefing sessions’ for councillors which attracted significant public criticism over claims of lack of decisionmaking transparency.

The two monthly general meetings will be live-streamed to the public on the council’s Facebook page which has been the practice in recent months due to COVID-19.

The September general meeting will be held next Wednesday 23 September and the October meetings on Wednesday 14 and Wednesday 28 October.

WATER ‘REMINDER’ The council this week issued a reminder about

current water restrictions with the onset of warmer weather.

A spokeswoman said “as we begin to enjoy warmer weather and sunny days, Southern Downs Regional Council reminds residents that the drought hasn’t broken yet and cautions to prepare for a hot summer”.

“While patchy rain has fallen across parts of the region and our gardens are looking a little greener, water continues to be trucked to Stanthorpe,” the spokeswoman said.

“Extreme Level water restrictions of 120 litres per person per day still apply across the region for users accessing drinking water supplies.”

Portfolio Councillor for Water Stephen Tancred said the start of spring “is an opportune time to review water saving habits and rethink how we use water”.

“Unfortunately much of our region is still in the grips of a severe drought and summer is just around the corner which usually sees a higher demand for water,” Cr Tancred said.

“Our water supply remains a precious resource and Extreme Level water restrictions play a vital role in sustaining and conserving the region’s water.

“As temperatures increase, now is the ideal time to review water usage habits and consider new avenues to reduce our water consumption.

“There are many small but savvy ways we can all collectively help preserve our water and get the most out of every drop.

“For example, while we are not allowed to water our gardens during restrictions, water can still be captured inside the home and reused on gardens and pot plants.

“If planting new gardens consider choosing natives that use less water and mulching to reduce the need for watering.

“As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, Council remains focused on ensuring continuity for water and wastewater services across the region.

“It’s business as usual and residents can rest assured that provision of drinking water and sanitation services will continue as normal.

“Council continues to monitor water consumption and applauds residents and businesses for being mindful of their water use.”

Mayor Vic Pennisi has said in recent weeks the council does not intend to review water restrictions with a view to relaxing them above the 120 litre limit.

For more information on water use, water saving tips and dam levels visit sdrc.qld.gov. au.

Extreme Level water restrictions of 120 litres per person per day apply to all treated town water supplies delivered to the household tap or supplied by a water carter.

Water restrictions also extend to communities supplied drinking water by bores in Dalveen, Pratten and Leyburn.

Greg Newey pictured in July of this year at the Warwick Clay Target Club, of which he was a much-loved long-time member, as well as being a prominent local business operator and community advocate.

Identity mourned The Warwick community is mourning the tragic loss of local identity Greg Newey who died in a three-vehicle vehicle accident late on Monday afternoon of this week.

The accident happened shortly before 4pm on Monday, near the intersection of Wood and Guy Streets and the junction with Myall Avenue.

The cause of the accident is still under investigation by the Queensland Police Forensic Crash Unit, but initial statements issued by the police indicated that at around 3.55pm “a Ford Falcon utility vehicle has travelled through the intersection of Myall Avenue and Wood Street and stuck a Porsche travelling along Wood Street”.

The Porsche was driven by Mr Newey, with his wife Beth beside him in the passenger seat. At time of printing of the Free Times this week Mrs Newey remained in hospital in Brisbane being treated for injuries she sustained in the crash, after being airlifted by rescue helicopter from the scene.

Police have said the 21 year old driver of the Falcon utility was initially hospitalised and was this week “assisting police with their enquiries”.

The Neweys moved to Warwick in the 1970s and previously owned and operated Warwick Outdoor and Sports on Palmerin Street. Mr Newey was President of the Warwick Chamber of Commerce where he is remembered as performing a leading business advocacy role, as well as also serving as chairman of Warwick Tourism and Events.

Mr Newey was also well-known as a clay target shooter who ranked third in Australia before the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

Updates on the investigation will be posted on the Free Times website at www.freetimes.com.au

Wind farm update...

By Jeremy Sollars

Plans for the Acciona MacIntyre Wind Farm are expected to be lodged within the next several weeks with the Queensland Government.

BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) Asset President James Palmer said the contract “will help our operations across Queensland to further increase their sustainability through reducing the greenhouse gas emissions we generate from electricity use by half. It will also support two greenfield renewable projects that in turn are expected to generate regional jobs in Queensland”.

“Commencing from 1 January 2021, the five-year agreement will assist BHP to halve electricity emissions across its Queensland operations by 2025,” he said.

“Initially, energy will come from CleanCo’s existing low-emission generation portfolio of hydro and gas.

“Solar and wind energy will kick in from late 2022 when the Western Downs Green Power Hub is expected to be commissioned, with CleanCo’s Karara wind farm to follow.

“CleanCo is building the 100 megawatts Karara wind farm, the first new publicly-owned renewable energy generation in Queensland in 20 years. The generator is also buying another 400 megawatts of new renewable energy from ACCIONA’s neighbouring Macintyre wind farm.

“CleanCo’s involvement in the MacIntyre Precinct has nearly doubled the size and capacity of the 1026 megawatts precinct, which will start supplying energy to the grid in 2022.”

CleanCo CEO Dr Maia Schweizer said its hydro and gas assets “positions CleanCo to provide competitively-priced clean energy products to commercial and industrial customers”.

“We’re committed to improving affordability and creating regional growth and jobs for Queenslanders and achieving our target

to support 1000 MW of new renewable generation by 2025, which will help Queensland achieve its goal of 50 per cent renewables by 2030,” she said.

Acciona in the spotlight?

Meanwhile independent South Australian Senator Rex Patrick this week called on the Federal Government “to reform the way taxpayer funded infrastructure projects are contracted so that the full economic stimulus benefits of its post-COVID-19 infrastructure plan will be realised and not leached away by multinational corporations”.

The Senator named Acciona as one of those corporations as a ‘Tier One’ construction company under federal government tendering arrangements.

“In order to win a major infrastructure program from Government, a tenderer has to be a ‘Tier One’ construction company,” Senator Patrick said.

“There are no Australian owned ‘Tier Ones’, only multinationals, and that means that Australian owned companies are effectively excluded from tenders for these big infrastructure projects.

“We have a totally unacceptable situation where Aussie companies are being discriminated against by their own Governments. It’s a disgraceful situation and one that has to change.

“Large multinationals win the prime contracts and then squeeze their ‘Tier Two’ subcontractors so there is very little profit for them.

“This squeeze flows through the entire supply chain.

“It’s not unusual to see good Australian subcontractor companies end up going under. The

profits go to the primes who then export them offshore, often to tax havens - with a resultant loss of benefit to the Australian economy.

Tier One companies are represented by the Australian Constructors Association and include: Acciona (Spain) Bouygues Construction (France) Clough (South Africa) CPB (Spain) Downer (NZ) Ferrovial (Spain) Fulton Hogan (NZ) John Holland (China) Lang O’Rourke (UK) Lendlease (Spain) McDonell Dowell (South Africa) Multiplex (Canada) Probuild (Canada) UGL (Spain) Webuild (Italy) “Australian Owned Contractors” are taking their cause to Canberra and I’m 100 per cent on side.

“The Federal Government, whether directly or through the States, is effectively mandating 95 per cent of Australia’s largest public infrastructure projects ($500 million +) to multinationals leaving highly capable Aussie companies with 5 per cent of the dregs. Some might think it’s a conspiracy, but we all know how the saying goes - given the choice between conspiracy and incompetence, pick the latter.

“How is it that the Government has implemented policies that work against Australian companies and limit their potential?

A development application to the Queensland Government by global renewable energy giant Acciona for a wind farm on the border of the Southern Downs and Goondiwindi council areas is yet to be lodged but the company says this is expected within the next few weeks.

As previously reported in the Free Times Acciona plans to construct the largest onshore wind farm in Australia to date on 36,000 hectares of leased private land primarily within the Goondiwindi Regional Council area, but also taking in part of the Southern Downs Regional Council area at Cement Mills and Goldfields south-west of Warwick.

The development application for the ‘MacIntyre Wind Farm’ will be assessed and decided on by the Queensland Government and the local councils will not get a formal say, although both Goondiwindi Mayor Lawrence Springborg and SDRC Mayor Vic Pennisi say they expect their councils to be consulted on aspects relevant to the councils including roads and heavy vehicle movements during the construction phase.

A new high-voltage powerline linking the wind farm to the state’s Powerlink electricity network at Tummaville in the Toowoomba Regional Council area will cut through the Karara district and to the west of Leyburn.

Construction is “anticipated” to commence in mid-2021.

The wind farm project will include 18 turbines just south of the State Forest owned and operated by the Queensland Government’s renewable energy company CleanCo, with Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk last week hailing a deal between CleanCO and BHP. In a statement Ms Palaszczuk said BHP’s Queensland mines “are to be part-powered by renewable energy, thanks to a deal with publicly-owned generator CleanCo”.

The Premier hailed the agreement “as an illustration of the government’s support for existing industries and the ones of the future”.

“We are about building jobs in every industry,” Ms Palaszczuk said.

“We value jobs in the coal industry, in the mining industry and in our growing renewable energy industry.”

Energy Minister Dr Anthony Lynham - who has announced he will retire from state politics at the October election - said CleanCo had “sealed a five-year clean energy deal with BHP to provide half the power needs of the Big Australian’s Queensland mines”.

“This agreement means that eventually wind and solar energy from south-west Queensland and hydro from Far North Queensland and Wivenhoe will be powering mines in central Queensland,” he said.

“BHP’s commitment will help underwrite CleanCo’s investments in the MacIntyre Precinct and Western Downs Green Power Hub and their 800 new regional jobs in south-west Queensland.

“With the Government’s renewable energy zone initiative, the south-west will continue to flourish as a renewable development and jobs hub.”

FreeTimes.com.au

“The bureaucrats have got it all back to front - Aussie companies should be delivering the majority of Australian infrastructure projects and also leading projects in overseas jurisdictions.

“Of course, that’s not happening because in those jurisdictions they have Governments that support and have confidence in their own industry.

“This has to change and I’ll be working with Australian industry to ensure this happens.

“If I have to set up a picket line outside the offices of the Prime Minister and Finance Minister to get change, then so be it.

“I’m sick and tired of Australian companies being disadvantaged by the flawed implementation of Government procurement practices.”

The MacIntyre Wind Farm will be the largest wind farm to date in Australia, with 180 turbines each around 285 metres in height.

Asbestos ‘caution’ The Southern Downs Regional Council says test results have confirmed the small amount of material found at Australiana Park last week to be bonded asbestos.

A spokeswoman said “while not deemed to pose a safety risk to park users, Southern Downs Regional Council will still undertake precautionary remediation work at the location”.

“We are confident that all material present on the ground has been removed and there is very minimal risk to the public,” the spokeswoman said.

“However given the popularity of the park with residents and visitors, Council is taking a cautious approach and removing the top soil from the area immediately around where it was found.

“A qualified asbestos contractor will remove the soil and dispose of it and the site will be re-

“Council was contacted by a local resident last week through Facebook to report the material found at Australiana Park.

“Qualified and trained officers immediately took proactive steps to manage the issue.

“The site was thoroughly inspected and fragments removed on the same day the issue was reported.

“Testing of the samples were commissioned and the area clearly marked and fenced off as a precautionary measure, pending the results.

“The area will remain fenced off until remediation works are completed.

Federal Maranoa MP David Littleproud says local road maintenance in the Southern Downs “will receive a boost thanks to a $582,350 funding injection though the Federal Government’s Roads to Recovery Program”.

“This funding will allow the Southern Downs Regional Council to progress a number of high-priority projects, using local knowledge to deliver the best local roads,” Mr Littleproud said this week.

“Works include upgrades to key thoroughfares and local roads in the region, which will help to get locals home sooner and safer.

“Apart from increased safety, drivers are going to be travelling on smoother, more reliable roads and that’s all part of building up efficiency across the region.

“The Roads to Recovery Program is a local and federal partnership that improves road networks and delivers real and tangible benefits to local communities.

“We are investing in infrastructure nationwide in order to lay the foundations for economic recovery on the other side of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The Australian Government will deliver over $77.2 million to 234 local government authorities nationwide for safer and better-maintained roads.

“From 2013-14 to 2023-24, the Government will provide $6.2 billion under the Roads to Recovery Program, with an ongoing commitment of $500 million each year following.

“Works in the Southern Downs region include upgrades to Upper Forest Springs Rd, Forest Springs Donnellys Castle Rd, Pozieres Upper Wheatvale Rd, Upper Wheatvale Calvert Rd, Glen Aplin

Drought relief projects The Southern Downs Regional Council says more drought relief funding “will begin to flow into the region” after announcing its submission for upgrades to community halls, clubhouses, parks, bores and water carting has been approved by the Australian Government.

A council spokeswoman said the council this month received $1m through the Drought Communities Programme - Extension Grant “to deliver a raft of important infrastructure projects to support local communities after being drought declared for more than two years”.

Mayor Vic Pennisi said the “funding injection will boost the region’s economic recovery by contributing to local employment and strengthening local businesses and services”.

“The Drought Communities Programme Extension Grant targets projects that ensure business continuity and stimulate community spending through local employment and the use of local resources, businesses and suppliers in the delivery stages,” Cr Pennisi said.

“Southern Downs Regional Council was announced as one of the eligible councils under the program in November 2019.

“Following the application lodgement in May 2020, funding agreements are now signed and Council looks forward to receiving project applications from community organisations.

“This particular grant will support projects that deliver improved local amenity through the maintenance and enhancement of socially-valued community facilities.

“These projects are valuable to the region’s townships and their people as they enhance welcoming spaces for the community to meet and connect.

“Council is always looking for funding avenues to support the community, particularly at this crucial time.

“Securing this funding and all of the planned future projects shows, yet again, how important productive partnerships between

Local and Federal Government really are for regional communities.”

The council spokeswoman said funding has been approved and allocated as follows Stream A: Community Infrastructure Projects ($600,000) including upgrades to community halls, clubhouses and facilities, community bores in Freestone and Swan Creek and the completion of key projects identified in the Leyburn, Wallangarra and Maryvale Urban Design Frameworks.

·

B: Shade structures in Council parks · Stream ($200,000) Stream C: Funding for supply and deliv· ery of potable water to rural landowners ($200,000). (In the event of widespread rains, any unspent funds may be reallocated to Stream A projects.)

“Applications are invited from regional community organisations to undertake upgrades to community halls, clubhouses and community managed facilities.

“Full details on how to apply and frequently asked questions will be available on Council’s website from Monday 14 September 2020.

“Additional information will be available in the coming weeks in respect to other identified projects.

“If you have an enquiry regarding the Community Drought Recovery Projects 2020, please refer to Council’s website, call 1300 MY SDRC (1300 697 372) or email mail@sdrc.qld. gov.au”

Volunteers needed The PCYC Braking the Cycle program has expanded to Warwick - for thousands of young Queenslanders, completing their mandatory 100 hours of supervised driving in a safe and suitable vehicle is a major obstacle.

That is where PCYC Queensland’s Braking the Cycle program comes in, supporting young people’s personal development. Braking the Cycle is a statewide learner driver mentor program that empowers young people who, due to financial hardship or social barriers, would otherwise be unable to achieve the mandatory 100 logbook hours of supervised driving.

The aim of the program is to provide young people with increased employment opportunities, community connection and driver education. Participants are matched with a specific volunteer from our extensive and experienced driver mentor network. Mentors provide encouragement and help young people improve their self-esteem and develop positive road safety attitudes.

Would you like to support young people to learn to drive? Can you spare 90 minutes or more a week? If so, we’d love you to join our team of volunteer driver mentors. You will

MENTAL HEALTH FreeTimes.com.au

Mental health in focus A Southern Downs family has spoken out about what they say are failures in Queensland’s mental health system allowing vulnerable individuals to “fall through the cracks”.

Speaking to the Free Times on condition of anonymity the family says an over-burdened mental health sector in the region - including Toowoomba - is struggling to effectively monitor patients in the community and relies on “sedation” as a short-term treatment of serious conditions in the absence of effective medication management.

They say inadequate resourcing of mental health services, particularly in regional and remote rural areas, means families are often forced to pick up the pieces when a loved one’s condition worsens but they are faced with a lack of adequate care.

They have also said the police are often the front line of mental health response and lacking specialist knowledge of mental illness at times misinterpret the actions of individuals as potentially threatening and violent, further complicating both short-term and long-term mental health treatment and including inaccurate or out-of-date patient history records.

In the family’s case their adult son is currently on a ‘treatment authority’ primarily as a result of past interactions with police, with the authority limiting his ability to seek private psychiatric care - they claim only private treatment has been successful in managing his condition in the past but at a significant financial cost with limited means, and with access difficult for those in rural areas.

Under Queensland Health procedures a mental health ‘treatment authority’ (TA) is made when a person is deemed unable to con-

sent to care and authorises treatment directives provided as a hospital inpatient or in the community.

In extreme cases a treatment authority which can remain in place for up to 12 months at a time pending six-monthly reviews - can enable the use of electro-convulsive therapy on a person without their consent, and the administration of any medication deemed necessary for treatment.

The family who spoke to the Free Times say the chief cause of their concerns is an overall lack of communication between health authorities and the families of people with a mental illness, and a lack of consistent monitoring and knowledge of individual circumstances, with patients being examined by multiple ‘case managers’ - typically mental health nurses who may have significant practical experience but are not psychiatrists.

They have said ongoing monitoring of a patient can at worst take the form of “a phone call every six weeks or so”, and “a continually changing psychiatrist who never gets beyond the initial ‘getting to know you’ interview” - at best, a monthly or bi-monthly face to face consultation.

They have said their son has had “no help from the mental health system and his recovery is entirely due to his own efforts” and “stringent compliance” with taking medication which has been effective in the past.

For the family their most recent problems began when their son moved back to the region to be closer to them - after some years living interstate and being relatively stable - following a worsening of his condition.

They claim he was wrongly accused of threatening aggression and violence - despite not being armed and with no history of violent behaviour - during an incident with police on the rural property where he was living which ultimately helped lead to the compulsory treatment authority currently placed on him.

The family says their son was terrified by the incident, believing he could be shot by police, saying officers refused family interven-

tion which they are adamant would likely have resolved the situation quickly and peacefully.

Nationally, a lack of beds in hospital mental health units has been blamed by many families for inadequate treatment of patients, since mental health treatment was ‘de-institutionalised’ in Australia in the 1980s and earlier.

‘De-institutionalisation’ refers to the closure of former ‘asylums’ where people were effectively locked away for extended periods - or permanently - and the transition to ‘community-based’ mental health treatment, seen at least theoretically as leading to better outcomes and quality of life for those with an illness.

Short-term hospitalisation in ‘acute’ hospital mental health units remains available when admissions are authorised by health workers and psychiatrists.

Overall the closure of asylums and the move to acute hospital care via acute admission is referred to by some in the mental health sector as “opening the back door and closing the front door”.

But the Southern Downs family who spoke with the Free Times for this story say in their experience more acute hospital beds “will not fix the problem”, pointing to what they say is the “current ethos” of the system as a whole, including an at-times “punitive” approach to interaction with those requiring care.

“There is a common theme of failure to listen to the families who have years of experience with their loved ones,” they said.

“We have had no traction with any of the ‘authorities’ - including the health ombudsman.

“We have spoken to many people who have had loved ones in mental health and they all agree ‘there is no help’.

“The nurses and psychiatrists seem to have no understanding of the illnesses - they tick boxes, and over-sedate to obtain compliance.

“How is it helping someone to effectively maintain them virtually as a vegetable, grossly overdosed and unable to speak coherently?”

downstairs in the middle of the night and wires put on them”.

They have also said that an admission by patients of past illicit drug use - such as infrequent cannabis use for self-medication - can also be used to unfairly categorise people as dependent on illicit substances.

RESOURCING LOCALLY ...

Continued from page10 They said one result of attempting to intervene with mental health authorities on their son’s behalf has led to them being referred to in his case records as “historically adversarial” and with “judgement clouded by their percep-

tion of the service”.

The family claims they have spoken with other families who have reported physical assault of loved ones who have been patients in acute facilities in the Darling Downs region and of “forced electric shock treatment - taken nual report - which include mental health services - but our request was denied.

Instead a spokesman issued the following statement “Darling Downs Health is committed to delivering the best possible care to the communities we serve.

FUNDING LEVEL? The most recent annual report published by Queensland Health’s Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service for 2018-2019 showed 10.53 per cent of its funding was allocated for mental health services in the region.

The Free Times has asked Queensland Health for copies of the most recent ‘surveillance audits’ carried out on the Warwick and Stanthorpe Hospitals referred to in the an-

Queensland Health has previously stated that the Warwick and Stanthorpe communities are “well-equipped” when it comes to mental health services, despite conceding there is only one part-time fully-qualified psychiatrist based in the region’s public health system.

In June of this year a spokesman for Darling Downs Health - the regional division of Queensland Health - said the service is “wellequipped to provide specialist high intensity community-based mental health services to meet the needs of the Warwick and Stanthorpe communities”.

“Darling Downs Health has a comprehensive range of mental health services at Warwick Hospital and provides emergency care, and some over-night brief crisis admissions,” the spokesman said.

“When necessary, the Acute Mental Health Unit at Toowoomba Hospital provides support to consumers requiring highly-specialised mental health care.

“Local mental health teams in Warwick and Stanthorpe are supported by staff specialist psychiatrists, specialist registrars and other specialist staff who provide outreach services into rural communities of the Southern Downs. tion (IHCAC) against the National Safety and Quality in Healthcare Standards, the National Mental Health Standards and ISO 9001 Standard.

“ISO certification is based on an ongoing three-year audit cycle, consisting of surveillance audits in year one and two, followed by a recertification audit in the third year.

“In 2021 Darling Downs Health will undertake the ISO 9001 recertification process.

MENTAL HEALTH

“Warwick has a part-time psychiatrist, and a psychiatric registrar based locally who also outreaches to Stanthorpe.

“Stanthorpe also has a specialist mental health nurse practitioner in addition to specialist mental health nurses, psychologists and social work staff who operate in both sites.

“Specialist mental health services are available for patients of all ages including child and adolescent mental health, adult mental health, and older persons’ mental health services.

“The services operate alongside a range of Commonwealth funded mental health services including targeted psychological therapies, psychosocial support, specialist mental health nursing, child and youth services that can be accessed via referral from your local doctor.

“The Commonwealth funded services provide access to a range of community-based practitioners and special service providers operating lower and moderate intensity services.”

Gearing up for the Cup The 160th running of the Warwick Credit Union Warwick Cup is set to go ahead on Saturday 10 October despite this year’s Covid 19 lockdown restrictions.

Warwick Turf Club secretary Kristen Doyle said tickets were on-sale for the iconic event, held almost every year since 1859 - predating the Melbourne Cup and making it one of the longest running races meetings in Queensland.

She said the event had only been missed one year in all that time and while the race meeting would have a different feel this year all the main elements - horse racing, fashion on the fields, food and fun would still be in place.

“It is one of our biggest events at the turf club it’s great to roll it off and get started and have some normalcy back,” Kristen said of the seven-race event.

“We had a race meeting on 3 August where we were allowed a limited number of patrons to give it a bit of a trial. It was a good day people showed up and had to sit down to eat and drink. That was a good trial and every thing went well. The last race meeting with patrons before that was March but we have survived.”

She said this year due to the restrictions, they would be able to fit 1200 people on the grounds - socially distanced of course.

“You have to pre-purchase your tickets this year so we have all of your details for the Covid

tracing,” Kristen explained.

“Tickets can be purchased through Eventbrite. It has always been an event where you purchase your tickets on the day so people will probably get a bit of a shock when they show up.”

The turf club will have people on the ground on the day to help for those who do get caught so they can purchase tickets on their phones on the day. Although with numbers more limited this year, it is advised not to leave it until the last minute if you can help it.

“It will be much easier to have the details given previously and ready to go so you can just walk in with your ticket instead of standing signing a register or something,” she said.

“So it is a pre-sold event and it is 18 plus which is the first time we have done that too.

“We normally like to have the family friendly environment but with limited space we have made it an 18 plus.”

The ever popular main pavilion which usually accommodates 500 people will be limited to just 150 this year. General admission will allow you to have a table for six to ten somewhere on the grounds - trying to keep the social group in the same spot.

“It is going to be different,” she said.

“We will have some light back ground music and we will have the fashions on the field but not in the sense of a stage and every one

Despite a disrupted year the horse will be back on course for the Warwick Cup. watching in a big group.”

Those wanting to enter the Fashions On The Field competition will be photographed by the official photographer with voting then done from the photos. However Kristen said there would still be good prize money available for the best dressed woman and couple on the day. https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/warwick-credit-union-warwick-cup-2020-tickets

A tidy home is good TV Get Organized with The Home Edit, Netflix, from 9 September This is the perkiest television show that ever perked!

Business partners Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin and their team of look-alike black-Tshirted staff work their way across America organising the houses of the country well mostly their home state of Tennessee (one house at a time - or in the case of this show two houses at a time).

The pair - who were already Instagram famous - have stepped up to TV now bringing their own brand of interior styling and perkiness. Did I say these two are perky?

The first episode of the eight ep series sets the scene with the dynamic duo being called on to help Reese Witherspoon organise her movie costumes and red carpet gowns in a brand new walk-in-wardrobe in her brand new Nashville house.

The closet is more museum than wardrobe and the Home Edit team are almost beside themselves being able to give the costumes from Sweet Little Lies and more importantly Legally Blonde, a new home.

With white gloves and the precision of museum curators they are on-hand to make sure that the clothes of Elle Wood are treated with the reverence such Hollywood treasures apparently deserve. Later they all pack up their pom poms and head over to perk up a garage or is that the wardrobe of a hard-working pedatrician?

This is a lot of fun, lots of positive women

Retribution is here for durable Halifax Halifax: Retribution, Nine Network, Tuesdays, 8.45pm You’d think after a couple of decade’s of solving pretty nasty crimes, Jane Halifax (Rebecca Gibney) would be looking to put her feet up, have a cuppa and potter around the garden.

But despite being an internationally renowned professor now, there is probably never going to be a happy ending for Gibney’s most famous character.

This time around (after a sizeable break) Jane is back, heartbroken again pretty quickly into this seven-part series and trying to stop a serial killer from striking again and probably doing something even more heinous.

In Retribution, our favourite forensic psychiatrist is joined by Inspector Tom Saracen (Anthony LaPaglia) who is heading up Task Force Stingray trying to bring down the sniper terrorising Melbourne (back when people

As always with a Halifax telemovie or series this is a tense, twisting and turning journey, taking us on a traumatic, edge of our seat ride

Is she still relevant? Do we still need bleak grey worlds when the real thing isn’t that hot?

This time around he is playing real-life UK serial killer Dennis Nilsen in the three-part series Des. The ninth in an ITV series about notorious British crimes, DS is based on the book Killing for Company, by Brian Masters, which focuses on one of the most infamous cases in UK criminal history, that of serial killer Dennis Nilsen.

tive Chief Inspector Peter Jay played by Daniel Mays (Line of Duty, Temple) and biographer Brian Masters played by Jason Watkins (The Crown, The Lost Honour of Christopher Jefferies) and explores the personal and professional consequences of coming into contact with a man like Nilsen.

Told from both the police and Masters’ points of view, this story explores how Nilsen, who murdered boys and young men in his flat from 1978 to 1983, was able to prey on the young and vulnerable in ‘80s Britain.

The series highlights the police investigation and the trial but also the media coverage and how it influenced perceptions of the victims.

A scene from Des.

Alive is an outstanding South Korean zombie movie about Oh Joon-wo (Yoo Ah-in), who is trapped in his apartment with few supplies and little hope as a zombie virus spreads through Seoul.

The film’s opening sequence brutally and succinctly introduces Joon-wo and establishes the cramped setting and the rules of the zombie infection.

Ah-in is an affable lead with shades of Simon Pegg from Shaun of the Dead, playing a withdrawn young man who discovers new depths of resourcefulness during a crisis. Joon-wo’s frustration and weariness are palpable, but he develops a sweet remote friendship with Kim Yoobin (Park Shin-ye), a survivor in the opposite apartment building.

The taut narrative does an exemplary job of building thin hope, through companionship, lucky supplies and fleeting safety, then wrenching it away with organic setbacks or nasty twists, and this cruel rhythm keeps you on edge until the final moments.

The plot has effective foreshadowing, as small details come back to (figuratively) bite Joon-wo and Yoo-bin later, and some moments of dry humour, such as Joon-bin running out of water only to drink himself into a stupor on his father’s liquor.

Streaming on Netflix, Alive is both a touching and phenomenally suspenseful zombie movie, and further reinforces South Korea’s growing reputation for superbly-crafted thrillers and horror films.

Craft brewer changes...

The Queensland Government says it is “supporting new jobs and the Queensland craft brewing and artisan distilling industry with the introduction of the Liquor (Artisan Liquor) Amendment Bill”.

Minister for Regional Development and Manufacturing Glenn Butcher said the bill will reduce the regulatory burden on craft brewers and artisan distillers, supporting growth in the emerging industry and the jobs that go with it.

“The licence will streamline the liquor licensing application processes to more directly provide the authorisations desired by craft brewers,” Mr Butcher said.

“The bills delivers on a commitment under the Queensland Craft Brewing Strategy to establish a new licence that better suits industry and reduces regulatory burden by directly providing authorisations desired by craft brewers.”

Minister for Employment and Small Business and Minister for Training and Skills Development Shannon Fentiman said the licence will also promote Queensland-made artisan products, increase market access and contribute to the growth of these industries.

“Queensland is home to more than 100 craft brewers and distillers and we want to make it easier for them to start, grow and create more jobs,” Ms Fentiman said.

“We know that the industry has been struggling during COVID-19 and we want to support them to get back up on their feet and get back to business.

34 independent artisan distilleries across Queensland.

“Artisan distillers have the potential to create more jobs from manufacturing roles through to front of house, and 38 per cent of Queensland’s distilleries are in the regions.”

Key points ...

The new ‘commercial other - artisan producer’ licence will: authorise the on-site sale of craft beer, spirits and wine produced under the Queensland artisan liquor licence or under the Wine Industry Act 1994 be based on the principal activity of the business, either brewing or distilling, defined as 70 per cent of sales on an annual basis authorise the sale of artisan liquor produced on the premises for takeaway allow the licensee to apply for an enduring approval to sell samples of their product at promotional events such as a farmers’ markets extend the commercial public event permit authorisation to craft brewers and artisanal liquor producers to sell or supply liquor at a public event; and permit online sales for the licensee’s own product which is particularly beneficial for artisanal liquor producers who are currently unable to sell their products online in Queensland.

The new licence will also remove the requirement upon distillers that restricts retail sales to 2.5 per cent of production.

· · “Under the new licence, artisan producers will be able to operate taprooms and tasting rooms without a second licence as well as increase the ability to sell takeaway liquor.

“This will boost sales and back more local jobs which is key to our State’s economic recovery.”

Mr Butcher said the licence will also focus on emerging and small-scale independently owned craft beer producers and artisan distillers.

“The licence is tailored to smaller artisan producers by focussing on emerging and small-scale independently owned craft beer producers and artisan distillers,” he said.

“Existing licence authorisations are not well suited to the business needs of the artisan

liquor industry so, by introducing this new licence, we are strengthening this industry into the future and providing small Queensland operators with more opportunities to grow and expand their businesses.

“We want to grow the craft beer industry, which prior to COVID-19, employed more than 1,700 people and contributed an estimated $62 million each year to the Queensland economy.

“By 2024, it is anticipated that the industry’s contribution to the State’s economy will be well over $100 million.

“Importantly, almost 25 per cent of Queensland’s craft breweries are established in regional towns.

Pork exports ‘safeguarded’: Littleproud Federal Agriculture Minister and Maranoa MP David Littleproud says a formal preemptive zoning arrangement will facilitate the export of Australian pig meat between Singapore and Australia in the event of an outbreak of African swine fever (ASF).

Mr Littleproud said “this positive outcome is a result of the constructive relationship and ongoing collaboration between both countries”.

He said the pre-emptive zoning arrangement would improve certainty for export trade for the pig meat sector in the event of an outbreak of this serious disease.

“Singapore is Australia’s single largest export market for pig meat with exports of over $60 million in 2019-20 and I express my gratitude to the Singaporean government for agreeing to these arrangements,” Mr Littleproud said.

“The Australian Government remains committed to keeping Australia’s $60 billion agricultural sector free of biosecurity threats, including ASF. “Just last week two men had their visas cancelled after attempting to bring in nearly 5 kg of pork and pork products, seriously breaching Australia’s biosecurity laws.

“If ASF were to reach Australia it could have a significant impact on pig health and

production and contribute to wider economic impacts caused by a loss of access to overseas markets for our pork products.

“The zoning arrangement is comprehensive and covers a range of potential scenarios to minimise trade disruption in the event of an ASF outbreak in Australia, including ensuring exports can continue from nonaffected states or territories if the disease is detected in domestic pigs.

“The zoning arrangement is funded through the Australian Government’s $66.6 million ASF Response Package which has also funded more biosecurity officers, detector dogs and high-tech three-dimensional xray machines on the front line of airports and mail centres.”

Australian Pork Limited (APL) Chief Executive Officer Margo Andrae said the Australian pork industry and APL warmly welcomed the announcement of the Australia-Singapore ASF pre-emptive zoning arrangement.

“We extend our thanks to the Australian and Singaporean governments for concluding this important arrangement, which will help maintain the flow of Australian pork exports to Singapore in the event of an outbreak,” Ms Andrae said.

“This is an important win for Singapor-

sees more officers, detector dogs and · This high-tech three-dimensional x-ray ma-

· · ean consumers as well as for Aussie pig farmers, who now have greater certainty of access to export markets.

“Continued, conditional access to overseas markets could help limit the commercial impact of an ASF outbreak in Australia.

As such, the arrangement is a central pillar in APL’s ASF preparedness strategy.

“APL is pleased to have worked with both governments on behalf of farmers in support of this positive outcome.”

Two new 3D x-ray machines will be installed in the Sydney and Melbourne mail centres. These are a world first innovation for biosecurity that allow us to automatically detect risk items.

Intervention rates for high-risk international flights have been increased, which enables additional travellers to be screened annually.

Biosecurity officers have commenced use of mobile devices to issue on the spot infringements as part of traveller clearance processes.

The impact of COVID-19 border measures continues to result in significantly reduced arrivals of flights and traveller numbers, reducing the risk of ASF further.

The Biosecurity Amendment (Traveller Declarations and Other Measures) Bill 2020 - introduced into the House of Representatives in June - enables infringement notices with a higher value to be issued for goods that have not been declared on an incoming passenger card and pose a high biosecurity risk. The new legislation is proposed to commence on 1 January 2021.

Warning over mice numbers

The Lock the Gate Alliance has renewed its call for an immediate moratorium on new coal seam gas drilling and the granting of exploration licences in Queensland following disturbing revelations about the impact the industry is having on farmland on the state’s Western Downs.

The Alliance says there may be no way to locate the many hundreds of old coal exploration bores that exist on the Downs, which, due to CSG drilling in the area, are now acting as a conduit and bringing gas and salty water to the surface where it is erupting onto farmland and bubbling in rivers.

The Alliance is also renewing its calls for an urgent overhaul of the Conduct and Compensation Agreement, so remedying damage caused to properties due to CSG activity in the area is the responsibility of companies, not the landholder.

“Even though the landholder in this particular instance does not have CSG operations on their property, they are clearly being negatively impacted by the industry,” Lock the Gate Alliance Queensland spokesperson Ellie Smith said this week.

“We know Australia’s largest insurance company is refusing to cover farmers for third party insurance if they have CSG operations on their properties, and there is a real risk this will be extended to include farms in gasfield areas, even if they don’t host infrastructure.

“The Queensland Government should have fixed this situation a long time ago, but it will now be up to a future government, whatever it may look like, to remedy.

“Sadly, consecutive Queensland governments have allowed the contaminating CSG industry to expand unchecked across farmland.

“The Queensland Auditor General’s report that found governments had effec-

tively lost track of the CSG industry is now more than six months old, and we’ve seen no improvement from the Palaszczuk Government.

“Ideally, we’d like to see these polluting CSG companies that are pockmarking productive Western Downs farmland pack up and go home.

“What’s clear is the Queensland Government needs to pick up its game and ensure any future damage caused by these companies is the legal responsibility of the companies to fix, not the landholder.

“It seems like a basic requirement that a company that is messing around with underground aquifers and coal seams should be required to mitigate any potential pollution they cause, but sadly, that’s not the case in Queensland.

“Clearly, this polluting industry is having a terrible impact on farms and people living in Southern Queensland, yet the Palaszczuk Government has spent its time so far in office boasting about opening up new land for CSG. “Since it was elected five years ago, the Palaszczuk Government has released more land for CSG exploration than the size of the entire country of Belgium.

“We know much more about the direct, harmful impacts of CSG now than when it first came to Queensland, and we also know that when production is taken into account, gas contributes as much emissions to global warming as coal.

“What’s happening on Queensland’s Western Downs is a warning to other jurisdictions, particularly in NSW where they are considering opening up the North West to CSG. Premier Berejiklian should take it from people who know - CSG is simply not worth the risk.”

lookout for activity in paddocks and baiting if mice are present.

“We know that mouse damage often happens in the first 24 to 48 hours of planting so it is best to bait mice at or as soon as possible after the crop is sown,” he said.

Growers should monitor mice after baiting to ensure that they have achieved a reduction in mouse activity.

Ongoing monitoring of crops through spring and summer is important to ensure that mouse numbers don’t get out of control.

Given mouse numbers are expected to continue to increase through spring, Mr Henry encourages growers to talk with their retailer about sourcing zinc phosphide early to ensure they have what they need for effective management.

For growers needing to bait, Mr Henry advises: Apply bait according to the product label.

Zinc phosphide bait must be spread according to the label rate of one kilogram per hectare.

If circumstances allow, try to wait six weeks before re-application of bait to minimise the chance of bait aversion. This means mice that have previously tried the bait are more likely to try it again, and it also targets new mice in the population that are susceptible to the bait.

Bait over large areas. Encourage neighbours to bait at the same time if they also have a mouse problem. The larger the area treated, the lower the chance of re-invasion post treatment.

“I also urge growers to report and map mouse activity - presence and absence - using MouseAlert so other growers can see what activity is being observed in their neighbourhood and via Twitter using @MouseAlert,” Mr Henry said.

Call for halt on drilling

Northern New South Wales and southern Queensland grain growers are being encouraged to bait for mice when they plant summer crops, with mouse numbers expected to rise under favourable conditions across the region.

CSIRO mouse researcher Steve Henry, whose work has support from the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC), is advising growers to closely monitor for mouse activity and bait to protect winter crops pre-harvest, as well as newly planted summer crops.

Mr Henry said protracted dry periods followed by significant rainfall - as has been experienced by many growers - was often the catalyst for a rapid increase in mouse populations in northern farming systems.

“In southern Queensland, we are receiving on-ground reports indicating mouse activity around Brookstead on the Darling Downs, as well as east of Dalby and in parts of the Goondiwindi, Moonie, Miles and Condamine regions,” he said.

“Likewise in northern and central NSW, where we are getting reports of mouse numbers where there are quite reasonable winter crops.

“All it takes for seasons to favour mice is ample food and shelter, and given we have that this year I would anticipate that we will see numbers continue to increase.”

In winter crops, Mr Henry’s advice to growers is to be vigilant in assessing mouse numbers and bait where there is evidence of activity or signs of crop damage.

He said mice caused issues in mature crops by climbing stems and chewing nodes, resulting in dropped heads.

“If growers are baiting in winter crops, it is imperative they keep in mind there is a 14day withholding period for baiting with zinc phosphide prior to harvest,” Mr Henry said.

For those who are planning or have planted summer crops, he advises being on the

Car boot sale The Stanthorpe Showgrounds Car Boot Market has started up again after having been closed since February due to Covid-19. Our first one back was August 23 and our next will be Sunday 27 September. Usually the 4th Sunday of the month except for Christmas when we combine with Market in the Mountains. Our market goes from 8am - noon. Any stall holders could call Chris Robins on 0416 169 032 to book a stall inside or outside the Exhibition Centre.

Rodeo Markets The Potters’ Warwick Rodeo Country Craft Market will still be held on Saturday 24 October 2020 between 8.30 am and 1 pm.

Due to the size of Leslie Park we are able to maintain social distancing for safety purposes.

Only reason for cancelling of the markets will be if stricter regulations come into force and travel restrictions reduce back to a 50 km radius.

Even though there will be no rodeo, the Rodeo Country Craft Market is a goer, giving the people a chance to get out into the country.

The Potters’ Rodeo Market in Leslie Park, have been going for 42 years and we still have some marketeers that have been with us since the ¬rst market. Like a side show alley, the stall holders are family and they look after each other. They support each other, cover the neighbours stall if they need to step away, help set up, or dismantle if needed and help pack up at the end of the day.

Our fi¬rst Market in Leslie Park had 14 stalls in 1980, and when it started to rain the Potters helped the stall holders to move their marquees across to the eastern side of the Palmerin Street under cover.

Our record number of stall holders was last year. We have local musicians who willingly donate their time and talents to entertain all day. The end of October is never too early to start Christmas shopping, and where else can you ¬nd that one of a kind home made special gift.

If you would like to be part of the market email the potters on info@potters.org.au

Beatrice Hawkins

Gerberas always amaze As a small child a lady who lived down the road and was known as “Granny Hayes”, grew Gerberas down each side of her front path. I loved the look of them and aspired to growing them but have never really had the right situation so have never tried.

I was at a friend’s place recently and she showed me her garden. There, front and centre, was the beautiful specimen you see in the photo. It is almost dinner plate size and just beautiful - a far cry from the old varieties Granny Hayes grew!

Gerberas originate in South Africa and the hybrids available today are almost unrecognisable as the humble Transvaal daisy.

A lot of the work in developing these beautiful specimens had occurred in Western Australia as the climate is very suited to them. They like a warm climate and well drained soil so the west is ideally suited to them. Full sun is a must, as is good drainage, but having said that, they don’t like to dry out, so regular watering is a must as is mulch to help keep the moisture in.

The original colours were a dull red and yellow but the variety these days is huge with vibrant red, yellow, orange, crimson, white and pink. Then, of course, we have the many bi colours that put on a great show.

If you don’t have good drainage you can always build the beds up or grow them in pots in good potting mix.

They can be raised from seed harvested from spent flower heads in spring and summer

and it is then best sown immediately. This is an interesting experiment as they often do not reproduce true to type and it is fun to see what you have when they eventually flower. The other method is by simply dividing the clumps in October or November. They will need to be well watered when transplanted.

So many plants that thrive in our climate are from Africa and another that is providing amazing colour at the moment is the common South African daisy or osteospermum. It seems to thrive on neglect and produce quantities of daisy flowers in a range of colours from white through pink and all shades to deep purple.

They are providing a great display in many gardens around town at the moment and open up as soon as the sun is there. They self seed readily and come up each year to provide a show of colour in the early spring. I don’t have any growing but intend to see that I do by next year. They self seed so readily that they can become invasive but are easily removed to keep them under control.

As with Gerberas, African daisies now come in an amazing array of colours and forms, brown, burgundy and yellow, and doubles or with fluted petals. Gardening magazines will delight you with beautiful photos as will a walk through your favourite nursery to see what is available.

To keep them blooming, regular dead heading is a good idea, as is pruning by about one third to keep them in shape. They grow from 30 to 60 centimetres high and up to a metre wide in the right situation and by pinching out the growing stem when they are small you will create a sturdier plant with a good dense form.

Once they start to produce buds, discontinue this practice as it will retard flowering.

I love all the English and European annuals and perennials that we have traditionally

grown in Australian gardens but applaud the increase in popularity of these easy to grow, dry tolerant, African imports.

Some lovely effects are achieved with a combination of both.

Old fashioned gaillardias, Indian blanket flower, are another favourite. They are a short lived perennial and native to dry areas of North America right down to Mexico. There are over two dozen species of the gallardia genus and of course these days they have been hybridised and bred to fill many spots in the garden with brilliant colour.

I am looking forward to seeing photos of the displays in the many parks in Toowoomba during the coming weeks of the festival. I have read that there have been over 170,000 seedlings planted to provide a spectacular display in all the beautiful parks. The theme is “Family Time” in the Laurel Bank Park and is a “must see” if you are going to Toowoomba.

Once again a reminder that the annual Warwick Spring Flower Show has, unfortunately, been cancelled but the Garden Competition and Floral Window Display will still be held with schedules available at Bryson’s Place in Palmerin Street.

This year, with so many things cancelled because of health restrictions, let’s make the floral Window Competition a truly spectacular event. Get behind your business, club or school, find a window to decorate and show the locals and visitors how creative you are!

Broncos coach call?

The finishing post is in sight for the field of prospective coaches looking to secure the Broncos gig in 2021 and beyond - not far beyond I’d venture to guess given the last disaster.

Of course, the narrative changes each day.

One day Kevvie Walters is a shoo-in, the next he is drifting dramatically and Paul Green is the new favourite or perhaps they will be wooing Craig Bellamy back through the doors?

Are the decision makers prepared to swallow their pride and welcome Wayne back to the fold?

Again, it depends who you listen to.

The Broncos commercial department has apparently estimated the value of Bennett working beside Walters to be worth in excess of $2 million in potential commercial opportunities. A very compelling argument for some.

On the other hand, others say not until hell freezes over will Bennett return or the club welcome him back to the fold.

It is all good theatre and fodder for debate among fans, journos and commentators who all seem to have the inside scoop.

Then of course there are the runners in the CEO’s stakes race.

What began as a rumour has grown legs and appears to be on the money - soon to be ex MP Kate Jones is believed to have been among the interviewees last weekend and was apparently very impressive. She is now said to be one of the front runners while back in the field is Ben Ikin.

Ikin has made no secret of his wish for the job but he should hold on to that seat on NRL 360 desk for a while longer. He has been very outspoken on occasions about Bennett (his father-in-law) and some remarks may not have done his chances a great deal of good according to informed sources.

The board may be looking for a candidate who will bring a fresh set of eyes to the business and no NRL baggage.

Jones would also bring a wealth of experience and insight through her stint as Minister for Innovation and Tourism Industry Development If that rumour mill can be believed Jones has firmed as favourite after blowing her opponents out of the water in the interview process. Are the Broncos ready for a woman to lead them out of the despair and disaster that is 2020? Why not?!

As the Broncos fight to avoid the wooden spoon, the board room antics and recruitments are far more entertaining than the on-field exploits. Now who would ever have predicted that sorry state of affairs at the beginning of 2020?

- Casey

DATE CLAIMER The Stanthorpe Swimming club dives back into action on 9 October. More information in next week’s Spin column.

AUSSIE FAIL For the second time in a week the Australian cricketers have capitulated losing a game they had every right to win.

After hanging on grimly to their number one T20 ranking last week, the Aussies opened their ODI account with a convincing win over the Poms.

However, on Sunday night (Australian time), chasing 232 to win, they suffered a suffocating loss. Instead of wrapping up the series they now head into game three at Old Trafford on Wednesday (as this edition goes to print) with their backs against the wall.

The English bowling attack lit up the ground as wickets fell.

It was not all bad news for the Aussies as their bowlers also had the ball crackling and fizzing and their fielders prowled the in the field like thieves.

the Dragons’ debutant winger Cody Ramsey.

Croker said just four words: “Congratulations mate - well played.” The debutant was speechless and said later it meant a great deal to him and is a moment he will never forget.

Croker was also involved another act of kindness.

Prior to the game as he was practising his goal kicking when one shot cleared the fence and hit a young boy in the face. Croker raced to check if the youngster was unhurt. Turned out it was the six- year-old son of former Dragons forward Ben Creagh. Fortunately, he was a little shaken but not hurt. After the game Croker made a beeline for the youngster and gave him his headgear.

That’s why Jarrod Croker is one of the NRL’s favourite players no matter who your support.

WHAT’S IN A NAME I wonder how many people noticed a runner at Doomben on Saturday called Fisticuffs.

He is a four-year-old gelding by the great sire Redoute’s Choice out of a dam called Sucker Punch and was an impressive winner of race three. He is trained on the Gold Coast

by Toby Edmonds for a couple of notables. The gelding was an impressive winner at Doomben on Saturday and now has four wins from his 12 starts. Fisticuffs is owned by a couple of notables, John Singleton and his great mate Tommy Raudonikis. Despite the breeding it’s not hard to guess where the name Fisticuffs may have come from with Tommy in the ownership.

LESTER LOCAL KNOWLEDGE TO FORE

Steve Smith returned to by the Australian side after missing game the opening game of ODI series in England after suffering a concussion, Smith was hit in the head while batting in the nets - The ball bowled by the Aussie coach. Unfortunately, the return of the batting master could not conjure a win for the Aussies.

It was with the bat on a deteriorating pitch that things went sour. Australia’s Finch and Labuschagne needed only play the percentages to bag a win. English captain Morgan called for his ace bowlers Archer and Woakes and the rest as they say in the classics is history.

All in all it sets up a mouth-watering encounter in game three.

The Aussies clearly a long way from their best form at this point.

A SIMMERING WIN It has been a little while coming but our intrepid golfing man in Stanthorpe, Aaron Simmers, finally put two nines together in the weekend’s Individual Stableford to return a winning score of 43 points. Good things comes to those who wait they say and Simmers savoured the win after scoring a front nine of 20 points which included one wash, zero points at the easiest hole on the course.

However, a good performance on the back nine ( 23 points) sealed the deal for Simmers.

The win was great but the handicapper may just be taking a long hard look at the score.

Aside from an overdue win, Simmers says, the best part of the day was taking a bet from the opposition.

A countback was necessary to find the runner up with Peter Gibney getting the nod ahead of Hayden Smith after both players recorded scores of 40 points.

Featuring in the run-down alongside Smith were Len Leigh (38), Rod Werner (37), Rino Piovesan ( 36) and Stephen Kay (35).

Since returning to competitive golf, Sandra Ellis has shown nothing but improvement and on Saturday she was rewarded with a win in the ladies event.

After a very steady front nine of 19 points, which included a zero point score at the sixth hole after - perhaps we won’t divulge how many hits; Ellis returned 16 points on the

back nine to secure the winning score of 35.

Trish Fittock claimed the runner-up prize with 34 points though her score could have been much better. She was left to rue what might have been after recording zero points at the third hole. The ladies run down went to Linda Kelly with 33 points.

Included in the playing field was former club junior, Hannah Reeves. Hannah, who returned a score of 32, birdied the first hole and completed the front nine with 38 strokes. She had a back nine of 37 for a round of 75 playing off a handicap of plus one. Not a bad effort considering she has not played Stanthorpe for a number of years.

Saturday’s event was sponsored by one of the great supporters of Stanthorpe golf over many years Aqua Rural Supplies. The club acknowledges their long-standing support and thank them for their continued support.

This weekend Stanthorpe golfers have a full weekend of golf on their plate.

Saturday tee off time is 11am for the Laurie Newley Memorial Day, a stroke event sponsored by the Newley family. There is a sheet on the board at the club house. Saturday’s round will be followed by a charity golf day on Sunday..

SPORTMANSHIP AND KINDNESS STILL ALIVE It is all too rare in this day and age to see acts of real sportsmanship and kindness on the NRL field. In round 18 I saw at least three.

How good, and also how proper, was it to see Eel’s second-rower Ryan Matterson go to the aid of Penrith player Apisai Koroisau. Koroisau was heavily concussed during the game on Friday night. Matterson showed real concern and stayed with the hooker until the medicos arrived - wish we saw more of this.

The next moment came at full-time in the Raiders Dragons game when Jarrod Croker picked up the game ball and delivered it to

Conditions were close to perfect last weekend as 60 keen golfers teed off in the Warwick Golf Club single Stableford last Saturday.

On a day where scoring was generally better than it has been in recent weeks it was Bob Lester with of 40 points who was the winner.

Bob, who knows every blade of grass on the course and every roll of the greens, delivered his best round in months. Finishing just one point away was Conrad Seibel in second. It was a welcome return to something like his best form for Conrad. He also claimed the NTP on the fifth.

Featuring in the ball run-down were Michael Ford, Doug Wilson, Gunter Nicklich and Connor Cruice all (38); Peter Balfour (37) and Wayne Wells, Eddie Kemp and John Porter (36).

Young Connor Cruice had an excellent round finishing with four under off the stick Ross Bell was NTP at the seventh and sixteenth; Shane Scotney was on target at the ninth and Brodie Quirk at 11.

Slim Eldridge picked up four balls for the Pro Pin on the 13th. Leon Sticklen three; Kris McLennan two while for Rhys Farrell, Charlie Morrison and Peter Boney it was a ball each.

This weekend the club has scheduled a single stroke flag event on Saturday while on Sunday the men’s foursomes championships will be held and will incorporate the hole Coe Cup. The 36-hole foursome is a gross event while the Coe Cup is a handicap so there will be plenty of opportunities for trophies for all pairs. Brownlie Concreting are the sponsors of the Foursomes championships. The Coe Cup is sponsored by the Sandy Creek Hotel. The club appreciates the sponsorships and support from both organisations for both honour board events.

All golfers are reminded that the following Sunday the club is holding the annual Greenkeepers Day, sponsored by Elders Insurance and Craig and Jake. The beneficiary of the proceeds of the day will be Nathan Bell, popular staff member of the club. A two-person Ambrose has been scheduled for the day which commences with a shot-gun start at 11.30am.

There will also be a sausage sizzle and half way house operating and trophies for men’s and women’s teams. Organisers are hoping for a great turnout. Don’t forget to get your names in.

SPRING CONDITIONS PERFECT Members of the Warwick ladies’ Golf Club were joined by 10 ladies from the Middle Ridge club for their round on Wednesday (9 Sept).

The Middle Ridge visitors are a group who travel away to play once a month. Warwick turned on perfect spring weather as 42 players headed out on the course to play for a trophy sponsored by Classic Dimensions - Ladies Fashion.

Majella Kahler has been a quiet achiever in recent weeks and she pulled out a round of 38 to score a convincing win in the large field.

Runner-up Ann Tomkins continued her fine form finishing her round with 36. Congratulations to both ladies.

Balls in the rundown went to Sharron Cooper, Jilly Barnes & Yvonne Pinington (35) and Patti Hemmings (34). Extra Balls to Kath Devereux (33); Judy Lester, Anna Cox and Helen Olsen (31).

Last Saturday (Sept 14) the ladies played the Annual Secretary’s Pen sponsored by Secretary Michelle Wright. The role of Secretary in any organisation is a big job and Michelle works very hard going above and beyond her duties.

On Saturday, she ensured every player received special pen with the inscription “I played in the Secretary’s Pen” which she sponsored in addition to the trophies for the winner and runner up. She also added another special touch providing small gifts instead of balls in the rundown and extra gifts instead of pins shots. The ladies were thrilled and appreciate the extra effort she went to and thank her for her hard work.

Janine Stewart was the winner and the lucky golfer taking home the “The Secretary’s Pen.” She returned a fantastic score of 40 points with Annice Payne hot on her heels with 39.

Collecting special gifts in the run-down were to Danielle Siebel and Melanie McLennan (38); Gwen Mills (37), and Yvonne Pinington (36).

This Saturday (September 19), the Ladies have a single stroke flag event scheduled. It will be sponsored by the Club. Looking ahead to Wednesday 23 September, for the Mid-Week Medal, sponsored by the RSL.

CRACKING TIME AT SOUTHERN CROSS A big group of 48 were on the greens at the Southern Cross Bowls club last week hoping to come up cackling in the Turkey Triples.

Conditions were perfect as were the smiles on the faces Vince’s Hemmings and team members Roger Cavanagh, and Ralph Tate.

Not far behind were the second placed team of Bill Lee, Ron Phelps and Geoff Creighton.

One team that came in with high hopes, but ended up at the wrong end of the points tally was Sid Morris, Steve Tyter and Steve Ford.

Good players who were out of luck; proving you can’t be good all the time as their dream turned into Turkey nightmare.

Barry Frame, Alan Buse, Alex Mattiazzi, Lyn Collie, Steve Ford and Julie Buse were all lucky enough to get their tickets pulled out in the raffle and took home the rum, scotch or the cash.

The “Sargent Kenny” day was a huge success thanks to the 44 bowlers who played in great spirit. Fortunately there was no egg throwing and no arrests however “Crack An Egg” was eagerly contested with everyone having a chance to display their bowling prowess and picking up a scratchie.

Gone was the practice of bowling to the Jack, instead bowlers were asked to show their expertise by bowling to an egg. No word on how many $10,000 winners there were but I’m told for a change everyone was very tightlipped.

Aside from the frivolity there were winners.

Geoff Davis teamed up with Legume’s Alan Buse and Tenterfield bowler, Judy Richardson to take home the big cash. Judy’s performance was excellent and she apparently enjoyed playing with the boys. The runner’s up were Bill Lee, Barry Heffernan and Linda Hartley. In third place were Ewar, Barry Frame and Jules.

While Julie Foster, Randy Russell and Kev Mooney (who was hobbling around playing 26 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES Thursday, 17 September, 2020

injured), brought up the rear in the points tally.

All in all, it was an eggcellent day with many eggcellent raffle prizes keenly sort after and won. The Irish Pea and Ham soup and Irish stew went down a treat and finishing the day with a pint of Guinness proved a winning note.

Val Gray, who sponsors the club’s St Patrick’s Day Bowls, was heard to be saying St Pat’s day will be even “biggera and bettera”. Was that after a couple of those Guinness or Is that Irish?

Perhaps it was a little of both. Watch this space to be sure, to be sure!

Today, (Thursday 17 September), the ladies will be hosting Social Mixed Bowls at 1pm. Everyone including beginners (who can be supplied with bowls if necessary) are welcome.

Further information is available by calling Cheryl (0407 641 158).

There will also be Social Mixed Bowls this Saturday, 19 September from 1pm. Please register before 2.30pm. Enquires Clark 0427 673 277.

If you are looking for an enjoyable fun afternoon on the bowls green look no further than the Southern Cross Bowls Club Inc. opposite St Mary’s Church in Warwick. Follow the club on their Facebook page or contact the Club Secretary, Cheryl (0407 641 158).

SUMMIT SAYS THANK YOU It goes without saying that the past six months have proven difficult for everyone so on Saturday the Committee of the Summit Bowls club arranged a barbecue to recognise and thank all those who have helped the club during that time.

By all reports the response to the gesture was very well received. The BBQ was enjoyed by all and the free drinks apparently went down a treat. In fact, I hear that some people enjoyed the lunch and the social bowls that followed so much that they left their cars at the club so that they could come back next day.

EXCELLENT GAMES CLOSE RESULTS There have been some excellent games of social bowls played at the Stanthorpe Club recently and some very close results. Wednesday last week was no exception when two games of three bowl triples decided. In the opening game Ray Rankin Helen Jones and Len Girgenti held off the fast finishing Gordon Gallaway Bruno Stefanon and Brian Brown, the 18- 11 score in no way a reflection of the close contest. In the second match, it was Ernie Jones, Sylean Fairley and Jack Bell who took the chocolates when they defeated Dot Rankin, Mark Wicks and John Fairley 19 -12.

A new competition of Self-Selected Pairs started Saturday. The new format allows members the chance to team up with the partner of their choice. In the matches played Dot Rankin and Ray Rankin outscored Bruno Stefanon and Jack Bell 27-14 while Ernie Jones and Len Girgenti defeated Gordon Gallaway and Val White.

A social game of three bowl triples was also played, Robyn Rose, David Rose and Brian

Janine Stewart was all smiles after her in in the Secretary’s Pen event for the Warwick Golf Club last week.

Brown proved too strong for Mark Wicks, Gary Trevana and Helen Jones with the final score 24-8.

Club president David Rose was back to the green following recent knee surgery. Great to see him back on the green and in form as well.

LYNAM LINES UP SPORTERS WIN The Stanthorpe Sunday Sporters group played the back-nine last Sunday with the playing numbers slightly down from previous weeks.

Perhaps it is still a little too cool for some.

Mark Lynam had the best of the day, his nett 24 placed him at the top of the field, two shots back was Angelo Maugeri while run-down was awarded to Margie Locke who finished one shot further back with nett 27.

First at the other end of the field was President Ray with a nett score higher than everyone else. Ray was little wayward off the tees.

Some holes on the greens he swore had been put in the wrong place. Aside from that, he did hit some very good shots and his score secured the packet of chips prize.

Round of the day was claimed by Paul Armstrong who parred the back nine, 36 strokes for the round. Paul often finishes his rounds

with near par results but this one definitely counted.

Next Sunday is a rest day for Sporters with the charity golf day taking time from teeoff plus many Sporters will be playing in the event. The Next Sporters day will be the following Sunday Sept 27 with tee off at 7.30 am.

TWO MORE MAKES SEVEN The Stanthorpe United Redbacks made it seven wins on the trot with two impressive recent wins.

Two games in three days is not an enviable task but that is the challenge the Stanthorpe United Redbacks faced this past week. It began with a catch-up game, played against St Albans in Warwick on Thursday night, and was followed by an afternoon game in Warwick on Saturday against USQ. Conditions on Thursday night could hardly have been less inviting. It was windy, cold and wet. Small wonder the game got off to a scrappy start.

In spite of the adverse conditions United was able to create a number of chances early in the game with both Thompson and Mascadri shooting wide.

Casey O’Connor Ben Rametta showed great determination chasing down a through ball to just beat the keeper and guide the ball into an open net giving United a one nil lead at half time.

St Albans equalised 10 minutes into the second half after a successful long distance shot from a free kick.

The St Albans goal spurred United into action and shortly after Thompson provided a perfect through ball for Rametta to score his brace. It ensured the Redbacks a two-one win and the points. Hunter Murphy and captain, Matt Purcell worked tirelessly in the midfield and set the foundations for Thursday night’s victory.

The Redbacks were back in Warwick on Saturday afternoon where playing conditions for the USQ game were much better.

USQ were determined to reverse the threenil score line of a couple of weeks ago. United, on the other hand, were searching for another good performance to cement their spot at the top of the leader board.

Early in proceedings the grind of Thursday night’s game looked to be taking its toll. USQ opened their account and held a one-nil lead at half-time.

Midway through the second half, United were awarded a penalty and Purcell slotted the ball away for a well deserved and much needed equaliser.

Not long after, super sub Aiden Fox pressured the USQ keeper into a mistake and poked the ball into the goal taking the score to two-one. With no further score it was another victory to United.

The win displayed the resilience, toughness and character of the Redbacks squad. Although tired and sore after facing such a short turn-around, they stuck to their plan right until the end of the game. United have now stretched their winning run to seven consecutive games.

While the team will enjoy an the eight-day break until their next game, with six rounds of fixtures remaining they are sure to be putting in the hard yards at training. Their next assignment is against third placed Rockville.

The game to be played in Toowoomba Sunday Sept 20.

RAETS OVERCOMES COUNTBACK TO WIN Wednesday an excellent field of 71 golfers welcomed in spring as they teed-off in the September Bells Butchery trophy for Warwick Sporters.

The winner, Eddie Raets (off a 17 Handicap), had to withstand a countback before claiming victory with Sam McLennan left to settle for the runner’s up spot.

It was a count-back kind of afternoon with a four-way countback required for the start of the rundown. Daffy Hynes, Stu Wade Terry Bennett and Darrell Bain, all finished on 36 points, followed up by the King of the Kids Brendan Landrigan (36) and Kerrin Delaney (35) points.

Following advice from Golf Queensland, and the easing of some restrictions, the Sporters, “Nearest the Pins competition has resumed.

The winners included Ian Skillen (5th); Darrell Bain (7th); Danny Lyons (9th) and Mike Hoskins (16th). The Pro Shop sponsored NTP for the 11th resulted in for Doug Rickert collecting four balls; Clive Pulley two and Brendon Landrigan one. For his efforts at the 13th, Sam McLennan collected four balls while Kerrin Delaney picked up three; Mal Galloway two and the fanatical Tigers supporter, Slim Eldridge one ball.

This week (Wednesday 16) play was for the Warwick Hotel Trophy. Look for the results in the next edition of the Southern Free Times.

Next Wednesday (23 September) Sporters will play for the Betta Home Living trophy. Check the results of this round in next week’s edition of Spin.

A reminder that all members of Sporters are urged to sign up for the Charity Two Ball Ambrose event on Sunday, 27 September.

Proceeds of the event, sponsored by Elders Insurance and the Greenkeeper Staff, will be directed towards helping out with the medi-

cal expenses of Nathan Bell, the club’s popular bar manager. The event is a shotgun start at 11.30am so make sure you have your name on the time sheet. You can use the new online booking system or for those who may be computer challenged contact the Pro Shop.

Finally the Sporters golf thought of the week “Friends are like therapists you can drink with.”

ON THE WARWICK GREENS It has been another busy week at the Warwick Bowls club. The club held Domino Pairs on Wednesday (9 September), the Final of the Club Pairs and also hosted the final of the District Singles on Saturday and then held the Churches of Christ Carnival on Sunday.

Six teams played the Dominos Pairs on Wednesday. The winners of the Dominos vouchers on a draw of cards were J White and Yvonne Reid. The Jackpot came out at -10 and went begging. Next month it will rise to $70.

The club hosted the final of the District Singles and those spectators that went along were treated to a fine exhibition by two of the best exponents of the game in the District, Graeme Warner (Summit / Tenterfield) and Neville Richardson.

Warner eventually took out the championships 25-17 after a long hard tussle.

The final of the Club Pairs was another fine game as Tim Gallagher and Edwin Welsh went head to head with Yvonne Reid and Darryl Phillips. The final score favoured Gallagher and Welsh 25-19, They had taken an early lead which they were able to hold it to the end. Congratulate to both teams for making the finals.

On Sunday, 14 District teams played in the Churches of Christ Carnival.

Teams from Dalby, Texas Stanthorpe, Tannymorel, Summit and a ladies team from SDDLBA were on the Warwick greens.

The overall winners, the team from Dalby was skipped by G Kath. They had a win 20-4 win Round One against T Seaniger, E Welsh, M Holder, T Wright.. In the second round, Skips only G Cath had a 22-5 win over SDDLBA and in the final round Dalby had a 22-2 win over Stanthorpe. The team from the Summit skipped by Zel Zamprogno were runners up.

The Winner of the First Round was the Stanthorpe team skipped by Brian Brown. Max Holders team was successful in the second round and the third round honours went to Steve Ford’s team. Congratulations to the winners and a big thank you to the visiting teams.

ALMOST THERE As the door closed on another round of NRL fixtures on Sunday night there was much to like and some not so pleasing aspects.

There was little not to like as the Panthers notched up a record winning run of 13. Unfortunately Referee on-field blunders were also in the spotlight - Matt Cecchin, one who had a game he would probably like to forget.

The Bunker seemed to get more than its fair share of the limelight this week.

Repeated referrals to the Bunker, slows the game, halts momentum, hinders the spectacle and has fans bewildered and frustrated. Many again questioning the worth and or role of touch judges.

The Captain’s challenge is something, as a fan, you either love or hate.

However, it has highlighted some real bloopers that would previously gone uncontested. Many of the captain’s have had to brush up on their knowledge of the rules - a good thing. (Cameron Smith probably not one of them).

There has been plenty of emerging tal-

ent on display in the latter part of 2020. None more so that Melbourne’s monster Tino Fa’asuamaleaui. In round 18, he reminded everyone why he is fast becoming recognised as the game’s best young forward. Cowboys young gun Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow also caught the eye as did Dragons debutant winger Cody Ramsey.

Barring some catastrophe, the Panthers have the Minor Premiership stitched up but the Roosters have eyes for only one prize and that is a GF Three-Pete.

Luke Keary is peaking at the pointy end, Daniel Tupou is in a purple patch, Kyle Flanagan looks to be improving each week and SBW showed he is all class in his 33-minute cameo.

The only downer, the head knock that forced captain Boyd Cordner from the field.

Beware the Chooks. They are building.

The Newcastle Knights have gone from topfour contenders to battling for final’s relevance after another disappointing performance. A serious change of attitude is required or they may find themselves embarrassed come finals time.

Few would have tipped the big improvers in 2020 would be the GC Titans. They get better each week and are probably the only team dirty that 2020 is a shortened season. Hats off to their new coach Justin Holbrook who has breathed new life into the team and obviously has the dressing room “on board”.

Please, enough already Broncos players.

Sorry, no, you did not play well. Time to swallow the bitter pill and finally admit to yourselves, what the rest of the rugby league world knows - You have not played well all season.

With the Coach evicted, it’s time players looked in the mirror and had an honest conversation with the person staring back at them.

Half-back Tom Dearden and Kotoni Staggs probably the only two who should not be giving themselves an uppercut.

It was the right call, but how good would have it been to see Cody Ramsey become the second player this year to score a hat-trick on debut? Although try number three was disallowed it was a sensational start to Ramsey’s career. He had plenty of Dragon’s supporters smiling. Probably incoming coach Anthony Griffin too.

The Eels have slithered down the ladder in the past few weeks and need to turn things around to remain in the top four as the Raiders with Josh Papalii leading the charge are beating down the door ready to take their place. The Eels showed plenty of grit defending against Penrith but the burning question is where are their points going to come from with Dylan Brown sidelined.

Will the Dogs come to rue letting Morgan Harper off the Doggies leash and allowing him to set up home in the Sea Eagles nest. Harper was impressive in only his second game for Manly.

Both Manly and Canterbury are playing for little more than pride in what remains of the season but they have unearthed some talent to keep an eye on in 2021.

The Dogs may have a home-grown replacement for Keiran Foran - Jake Averillo showed plenty of promise and set-up Canterbury’s only two tries on the weekend.

Poor turn-out, even in Covid times, from the fans for the Manly-Bulldogs clash. The diehard faithful failed to show up - a crowd of 2151 meant ANZ felt even more like a mausoleum.

Corey Allan, Latrell Mitchell’s replacement at the Bunnies, has shown some good signs in his first two matches at the back. He must keep up his good form not try to be Mitchell as the Bunnies hop towards the finals.

Tigers fans will be devastated to lose hooker Harry Grant’s as his stint with the club comes to an end. The same fans have reacted badly to Benji Marshall, the face of the Tigers, being booted out the door (again). At 35 he is a leader and offers so much on and off the field.

Grant is set to be a good player wherever he lands in 2021 but at the Tigers he could have become the new face of the club.

The Sharks booked their place in the eight denying the Warriors a spot. Hats off to the Warriors who have sacrificed so much in 2020.

This week we have the chance to pause and reflect on the 20th Anniversary of the amazing spectacle that was the Sydney Olympics - “The Best Ever” Plenty of fans were hoping for a better result for the Warriors who are now almost everyone’s second team.

The race for leading try-scorer is on in earnest. Tigers winger David Nofoaluma leads with 17 tries, two ahead of Katoa and Cowboys winger Kyle Feldt.

With just two rounds remaining there is more than the usual amount of interest, not in who will win the Minor Premiership, but the action or lack of it at the other end of the ladder. Who takes home the 2020 wooden spoon, in a year like no other, is now the burning question.

RATS LEADING THE CHARGE The Warwick Water Rats hosted their final home game of the season and the Warwick Ladies and supporters turned out in style and numbers for the annual Spring Soiree.

It is hard to know which was more exciting, the big win by the Water Rats or the big windfall for the Little Windmills Charity, the beneficiary of the fund raising event.

Little Windmills provides assistance to sick children living in regional areas who have to travel to metropolitan areas for medical treatment.

The big crowd was treated to a smorgasbord of rugby and provided an opportunity to showcase the Women’s Seven game.

In the carnival format Warwick went down 21-5 to the Bears. USQ defeated them 26-10 before the girls put it all together against Roma to score a 33-5 win.

Meanwhile the men’s team continued on their winning way scoring a big 51-17 win over Roma.

The comprehensive win on Saturday cements the Water Rats position at the top of the comepitition table with just one round remaining before the finals. Although the win wrapped up the Minor Premiership for the Rates their Coach, Dean Cullen is not getting carried reminding everyone there is much work yet to be done.

Cullen says despite his team’s recent successes they must not let complacency creep into the ranks through the final’s series after what has been a great year for the Rats.
