Apple and Grape promotion wins national award Stanthorpe can proudly claim to have the best promotion for an event in Australia, with the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival’s 2020 marketing campaign winning big at the 2020 Australian Event Awards - and it follows the Granite Belt’s strong performance as a tourism destination in recent months, and increased support for the whole region’s tourism profile.

Pipeline politics

By Jeremy Sollars Saturday is state election day and while other regions of Queensland have their own ‘wish lists’ from the incoming government - of whichever political persuasion it might be - for the Southern Downs and Granite Belt water security remains the most pressing issue.

Both the incumbent ALP government of Annastacia Palaszczuk and Canberra have committed around $60 million for the construction of the future Emu Swamp Dam for Stanthorpe, which if it proceeds will go a long way to shoring up agricultural irrigation water for Granite Belt producers, along with $24 million committed by producers.

But a bigger question mark hangs over the future of town water supplies for Warwick and Stanthorpe - and despite much talk there is little to be seen yet in terms of a firm commitment to a dedicated solution.

Currently Stanthorpe is being supplied with town water from Connolly Dam in Warwick with around 1.6 megalitres being carted every day by road tanker down the New England

Highway - at a monthly cost to the state government of around $800,000.

Both the Premier and LNP opposition leader Deb Frecklington have made it clear they will not allow Stanthorpe to run out of water but - like the community - are pinning hopes on a wetter-than-average spring and summer in 2020 and 2021, as forecast by the Bureau of Meteorology.

Even if that eventuates, neither of the major parties has yet committed to a specific longterm solution for our region’s urban water security - perhaps again reflecting that our local state electorate of Southern Downs is not a ‘marginal’ one crucial to either major party forming a government.

For her part Premier Palaszczuk in January of this year announced a $1 million feasibility study into the potential for a pipeline to link Warwick and Stanthorpe to Toowoomba’s supply, which is in turn supplemented by Wivenhoe Dam in Brisbane.

The plan announced by the Premier was uncosted, and the pipeline as proposed would run from Toowoomba to the Warwick water

treatment plant on Glen Road. Ms Palaszczuk did not suggest how Stanthorpe would be supplied, but the Southern Downs Regional Council has for some years looked at the option of a separate pipeline from Warwick to Stanthorpe from Connolly Dam, which is connected to the Glen Road plant, but that pipeline plan is likewise uncosted.

In January the Premier suggested work on the project could start by the end of 2020, and at that time said she would seek to ‘fast-track’ state approvals for its commencement.

The Free Times has asked the Premier’s office numerous times in recent months for an update on the Toowoomba-Warwick pipeline proposal, with speculation rife an election announcement could have been imminent, but none has been forthcoming other than to advise that the feasibility is with the council for their “review”.

The council is likewise yet to reveal any details but it understood to have engaged a consultant to undertake the review process. In any case, Mayor Vic Pennisi has expressed caution on the pipeline plan, saying he and the council

The Free Times this week asked Deb Frecklington to outline her position on the Toowoomba-Warwick pipeline, and received this response “Labor has kept its dealings over the pipeline proposal under wraps, so it’s difficult for anyone to rigorously assess the project,” Ms Frecklington said this week.

“What I can say is that an LNP government will be unashamedly pro-water and pro-dams, because we know that water means jobs.

“We’ll end Labor’s delays on Emu Swamp Dam and we’ll work positively with Southern Downs Regional Council to secure the town water supplies they need.

“The LNP Member for Southern Downs James Lister never lets a day go by without campaigning for water security for his communities, so I know exactly how critical this issue is.

The Granite Belt Community Band is back bringing music to the regions and looking for new members.

President Murray Hovey said the band had returned to rehearsing and performing following the changes in the Covid19 restrictions and were hoping to increase their numbers.

“We are encouraging new members to come and join in and develop their skill as players,” Murray said.

“We are performing at several outdoor venues between now and Christmas.

“Our first performance since the Apple and Grape Festival in March this year, was for the “Beat of the Bush” in Tenterfield. You can see us next on Saturday the 31 October at 2 pm for the Art Trail in Amiens.”

The Granite Belt Community Band is a community-oriented band which entertains in the wider community from Warwick to Tenterfield at events including the Apple and Grape Festival, Warwick Rodeo, Australia Day, the Peter Allan Festival and Christmas events.

“The Granite Belt Community Band are a happy bunch of people from Warwick, Stan-

thorpe and Tenterfield, who enjoy making music together as much as spreading happiness and instilling a good mood with the music,” he said.

“We welcome new members - it doesn’t matter what level of musician you are, from beginner to experienced, young and not so young.”

The band rehearses at the Presbyterian Hall, 14 Leslie Parade in Stanthorpe every Wednesday night commencing at 6pm (Qld time).

The group has recently added to their sound thanks to community grants from the Southern Downs Regional Council which has allowed them to purchase two new instruments - a cornet and a flugel horn.

Murray said the band aimed to offer a musical experience to everyone no matter what their socio-economic status.

“This goal has been enhanced by the purchase of instruments,” he said.

“This will continue to expand the music that the community and the players enjoy.

“The added benefit is to improve the mental health of those who engage in music, either

The editor’s desk This Saturday is Queensland election day and while our own local seat of Southern Downs is one of the safest LNP seats in the state there has been plenty of discussion here in our region about the likely overall result in the Sunshine State.

I am notoriously bad at trying to predict election outcomes, perhaps because our own region is not a marginal or ‘litmus-test’ one and the electoral barometer ‘on the streets’ is harder to read.

That’s my excuse anyway - but this time around I will go out on a limb and say I don’t think either the LNP or the ALP will gain a clear majority will have to negotiate some kind of power-sharing deal with minor parties and independents to secure government. We may also need to wait on postal votes in some of the key seats if they come down to the wire, meaning there may be no clear result in some of those electorates until late next week.

The key battlegrounds will be North Queensland the Gold and Sunshine Coasts - the three seats based on the Townsville area are likely to be particularly critical, and have been marginal ones for some years now.

One of the bigger questions is how much weight Queenslanders will give to their views on Annastacia Palaszczuk’s leadership as Premier during COVID-19. I am personally of the view that Queensland voters will factor in plenty of other pressing issues - like jobs, economic growth, health, education and crime. But whatever the result, it’s important to remember that from this election onwards Queensland moves to fixed four-year government terms which I believe is a positive move as it removes the ‘snap election option’ for struggling governments of any political persuasion.

Although stability is by no means guaranteed if the minor parties poll as well as some - including me - are predicting on Saturday.

Festival shines on national stage

By Tania Phillips Stanthorpe’s Apple and Grape Harvest Festival 2020 shone on the national stage at the 2020 Australian Event Awards, held for Queenslanders at the Victoria Park Golf Complex in Brisbane late last week.

The festivals marketing campaign, run by Krista Hauritz Tourism and Events, took out the Best Achievement in Marketing for the awards held in different locations around Australia and connected virtually.

In the same awards, the Festival was also a national finalist in the ‘Best Tourism Event’ category, with victory going to Splendour in the Grass 2019.

This year’s festival was the first time that Krista Hauritz and her team had partnered with the festival. It also marked the first-time Mrs Hauritz had entered the awards and she described the win as “mind-boggling”.

“We haven’t won - we’ve never even entered before,” an excited Mrs Hauritz, who cut her teeth working with her uncle on the famous Woodville Festival, said.

“It was pretty amazing and I guess being a Covid year events like most industries, have been severely affected. We were just so excited that the awards were going ahead so we entered the work we did with Stanthorpe Apple and Grape Festival.

“On the night we were just so ecstatic to be going to it and to be National finalists. They were announcing all the other finalists including Melbourne City Council and the thought genuinely hadn’t even entered my head that we would win. We’re sitting there and everyone else at the table was saying - Krista - you won you’ve got to get up and give a speech now. It was so very exciting.

She said it was particularly nice to win “because Stanthorpe and the Granite Belt has been to hell and back between the hundredyear drought and fires and then Covid - it was just like what else can you throw at us!”

The award.

According to Mrs Hauritz and new Apple and Grape president Russell Wantling, the award has come at a good time for the festival with the volunteer committee now in the planning stages for the 2022 staging of the event and the area also receiving a boost in tourism.

“They’ve had their AGM and their post event, so the current executive stood down so they could mentor new people because they’ve been doing it for many years,” she said.

“I guess the more seniors in the group said hey we need some newcomers coming in, they’ve got a new committee now which is great and all we can do is plan ahead.”

Mr Wantling said it was exciting to see the event win such a prestigious award and they were looking forward to the future.

“It’s fantastic to seem Krista recognized for all the work she and her team did on the last festival, they all work so hard and it’s good to get recognition,” he said.

The group is now hoping to build on this

success with a new enthusiastic committee being voted in recently.

“It’s good to get some new people in there, not saying the other blokes haven’t done a really good job, but it’s just always to get some new ideas in there,” he said.

“It’s good we’ve got some new members I’m only new it myself - we’ll have to see how we’re going.

“We’ve got to get in early because we’ve got a lot to do and a few of us are new to it. We’ve got to get some sponsorship and funding for the next event.”

The Festival has been running since 1966 something that was key to the marketing team’s award-winning strategy.

“Running right through our campaign of print media, TV, radio, social media, publicity, signage and all the rest was a refreshed branding for 2020 and our new slogan ‘Crushing It Since 1966’,” Mrs Hauritz said.

“We felt incredibly privileged to be given the task of marketing Stanthorpe’s long loved festival.”

“The deeper we got in to working with the festival committee, we saw we could deliver so much because the festival committee are one of the most professional committees we have encountered and just such lovely people to work alongside.

“What people don’t see behind the scenes is our marketing effort being supported by a very passionate festival volunteer team and one of the best examples was President Max Hunter handpicking grapes in the rain the day before we were staging a big media event where we had 23 travel writers visiting Stanthorpe to preview the festival fun.

“We needed the grapes for the travel writers and social media influencers to do a grape stomp experience, so Max, together with the help of then Vice President Greg Thouard, Ray Zannata and Sam Costanzo staged a grape stomp at the wine college three weeks before the festival.”

Special funding announced for events Event organisers from across the region have the chance to share in almost $400,000 thanks to a new funding program launched

by Southern Downs Regional Council.

The Local Events Funding Program (LEFP) is a temporary funding program overseen by Southern Downs Regional Council and jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments as a component of the 2019 Queensland Bushfires Community Recovery Package under Category C of the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.

From page 1 “I will kickstart a water security review for the Darling Downs within the first 100 days of an LNP Government and this project will be high on the agenda.

“Unlike Labor, I will never let rural communities run out of water because the LNP knows that water means jobs.”

For his part, Mr Lister this week appeared to likewise back away from full support for the pipeline, saying he supports “Southern Downs Regional Council’s moves to obtain water security for our towns”.

“As I understand things, the Queensland Government has kept its negotiations on the pipeline proposal confidential, so I can’t offer an opinion,” he told the Free Times.

“What I can say for certain is that my party will end Labor’s delays on projects like Emu Swamp Dam, and that would give SDRC the option, if they wish, to finally store and access their spare 450ML of town water for Stanthorpe.

“That would end Stanthorpe’s dependency on Warwick’s precious water.

“I really want to see us with the security of new water, rather than being heavily dependent on water pumped from someone else’s limited supply.

“I support and will always fight for any proposal which will bring new water to our towns and irrigators.”

Students walk all night for Rosies Money is still being counted following St Joseph School Stanthorpe’s recent walk-a-thon fundraiser for Rosies Friends on the Street.

School Vice Captain Lachlan Mahoney said the colourful event was a lot of fun and a “big success”.

“The 12-hour Walkathon hit the turf at 6pm on a Friday evening with around 90 keen and eager students, and by 6am Saturday morning, many tired students took to the course for one final lap,” he said.

“The night was a big success, and a generous amount of money was raised in support of Rosies, Friends on the Street who work tirelessly to provide a helping hand to the lonely and homeless.

“Numerous teams registered for the event with spectacular costumes including colourful 80’s numbers, cops and robbers, superheroes and Aussie legends.

“The pace of the participants gradually decreased as the hours went by, and the sun

could not come up fast enough to signal the end of an epic challenge.”

Lachlan said students and staff were treated to a barbecue breakfast provided by Lions which for some was the highlight of the 12 hours.

“A big thank you to the staff who supervised and also walked to support the event, Teen Vinnies for their assistance with organization and support, Lions for the wonderful breakfast and to the students who supported this event making it a wonderful success,” he said.

Cops and robbers anyone?

The latest outdoor styles

By Tania Phillips Forget travelling to the city, coast or bigger towns for the latest in out-door furniture Stanthorpe Furniture Emporium has the latest styles and trends in their brand-new pop-up shop in Maryland Street, Stanthorpe.

Stanthorpe Furniture Emporium owner Edith Boccari said the new store, next door to their current location, would be officially launched on Saturday with an outside broadcast by Rebel FM. The new store will have a limited lifespan, but is open just in time for summer “MWF, the plumbers next door, moved into their new building so we saw an opportunity for us to use that space to set up an “Outdoor

Shop”,” Edith explained.

“We have had a lot of enquiries about it. So we thought it’s coming into summer - there’s a lot of people who would have booked holidays away but with Covid will instead be spending the time at home so we thought we’d take the opportunity to get in some outdoor furniture and have an option for people to shop locally.”

The store will be open each day and will be accessible through the furniture shop. “There won’t be access straight into the pop-up shop which will make it easier for staffing because it is only temporary,” Edith said.

“There will be dining - outdoor alfresco setting including comfortable lounges, pool lounges, balcony settings, umbrellas, rugs and decorator pieces. We will have some real

Enjoy raceday at winery

By Tania Phillips The elegance and rustic charm of the Heritage Estate Winery will be the backdrop for a Melbourne Cup celebration this year.

From 1pm to 4pm on 3 November the Heritage Manor at the estate will play host to a celebration with cocktails and canapes and a big screen to watch the big race on.

Heritage Estate’s Therese Fenwick said it promised to be a fun afternoon and a rare chance to swap the Covid uniform of yoga pants and pjs for hats, fascinators and something a little dressier.

“There will be champagne and canapes and prizes for the best dressed couple, best women’s hat, best men’s hat, best dressed classic woman and fanciest pants,” Therese said.

“A lot of people just love the opportunity to dress up. You can even make your own fascinator - it doesn’t have to be posh - that’s what people used to do in the older days.

“You can even just take an existing beach hat and jazz it up with a scarf If you want to be a little bit thrifty.

“We will have music - it won’t be live. We will have the big screen showing the race and we’re in a winery - so there will be plenty of the wine.”

And what wine it is - the small winery recently became the highest scoring Halliday winery in Queensland scoring being named a red five-star winery in respected winewriter James Halliday’s rating system.

“Ninety-six percent of all the Australian wineries are represented (in the rating system) and we are the top Qld winery and in the top eight percent in Australia,” she said.

“We have been here for thirty years and we do these incredible food-wine pairings, degustation dinners, black stunning and the wines are just superb.”

“This will be a chance to watch the race on the big screen in the old building at Heritage, a building that has a fabulous atmosphere and it has nice high ceilings so no matter what the day brings, it will be cool if it’s hot or if it’s cold.”

And matching the atmosphere will be the food - tiers of little sandwiches, macarons and savory food in the popular Hightea-style.

She said the reason they had never done a

lot of outdoor stuff in the past was because outdoor furniture is usually very limited with time.

“It is generally - get what you can when you can with outdoor furniture and that’s exactly what this shop will be like,” Edith said.

“If you see something you like get it there and then because the chances of us getting another setting may be limited. I do want to stress that - a lot of things will be one off. There will of course be items we can reorder but there is a lot we won’t be able to.”

YMCA birthday celebration

By Tania Phillips It’s amazing to think it’s been six year’s since the YMCA took over management of the Warwick Indoor Recreation and Aquatic Centre (WIRAC).

WIRAC manager Karen Peters said the centre had a lot planned to celebrate their sixth birthday with events planned from 6-8 November.

“We have a special membership deal on off and you buy six months and receive the summer for free which is an extra three months - so that’s nine months for the price of six,” Karen said.

“And over the birthday weekend from Friday through to Sunday it’s half-priced pool entry if anyone is come to the pool for a swim.

“We will have the pool inflatable up on Saturday and Sunday from noon until 2pm. We’re going to do some flipperball which is aimed at children from about five years and up that are quite confident in the pool. We’re going to play

that on Saturday.

“We’ve got canoe polo which is on Sunday at 10am - that should be fun. We play that on Thursday nights anyway but we’ll put the canoes in the water on Sunday and see how we go.”

The birthday events will be all water-based for the weekend but there are other things coming up at WIRAC too in November.

“We kick off our six-week summer shred starting that week,” Karen explained.

“That’s $99 for six weeks and it’s a challenge we’ve got going for the gym-goers.”

WIRAC have a Covid management plan in place and are pretty much back to their usual programs with social distancing in place and special requirements in-place in the gym.

“We just adhere to all that - it’s good,” Karen said.

IN BRIEF Traffic operation Southern Region police last week closed a three-month operation aimed at reducing road trauma, Operation Sierra Protect.

A police spokesman said “despite more than 200 lives lost on roads across Queensland, less lives have been lost on Southern Region roads compared to last year”.

Inspector Lukia Serafim said a “threephased approach to road safety across the region has led to twelve lives lost compared to twenty across the same period in 2019”.

“We have sought to proactively engaged with targeted groups within the community, including school-aged children and elderly people,” he said.

“Police have also been conducted various enforcement activities on our roads to ensure drivers are obeying the rules.

“Across the three-month operation, nearly 105,000 random breath tests were conducted which detected 727 alleged drink drivers.

“More than 9200 drivers were detected speeding and nearly 200 traffic infringement notices were issued for using a mobile phone.

“Police also issued 13,092 infringements for life-endangering offences such as not wearing a seatbelt, inattention and disobeying red lights.”

Inspector Serafim said while police were actively patrolling the region to reduce road trauma, everyone has a role to play.

“We want people to make smart decisions on our roads knowing that one bad decision could affect your life or the lives of others forever,” he said.

“It’s also important people drive to the conditions they are presented with on the roads.

“The Southern Region includes roads across the state’s Moreton, Ipswich, Darling Downs and South-West districts.

“Since the closure of the operation, police have set up a multi-agency committee with the view to discuss and implement best practices and new technologies to support road safety programs for now and into the future.”

A development application for the MacIntyre Wind Farm is still yet to be lodged with the State Government. and Science says it is “responding to reports of potentially unlawful clearing of critically endangered black grevillea plants near Stanthorpe”.

Departmental staff were made aware of the matter and have conducted a preliminary site inspection,” a departmental spokesman said last week.

“Local, external stakeholders suggest around 270 plants - or around 20 per cent of the world’s population - could have been destroyed.

“Scientists at the Queensland Herbarium will conduct an expert assessment report to provide information as part of the investigation into the matter.

“Black grevillea (Grevillea scortechinii subsp. scortechinii) is a plant that is only found in a small area in Queensland (the Granite Belt) and New South Wales.

“The plant was listed as Critically Endangered under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 in August 2020 and the total known world population of black grevillea in 2019 was estimated to be just 1449 mature plants.

“Under the Nature Conservation Act, and depending on circumstances, a person convicted of taking these protected plants without authorisation can face maximum fines up of to $400, 350 or two years in prison.”

Illegal clearing alleged

No application yet

The Queensland Department of Environment

Spanish-owned global renewable energy com-

pany Acciona is still to submit of formal development application to the Queensland Government seeking approval to develop its proposed MacIntyre Wind Farm, which would take in 36,000 of leased private in both the Goondiwindi Regional Council and Southern Downs Regional Council areas.

The company originally anticipated the application would be lodged by the end of September this year. An Acciona spokesman told the Free Times this week the application is likely to be submitted “within the next several weeks”.

If approved the MacIntyre Wind Farm would be the largest on-shore wind farm in Australia with 120 turbines across the Cement Mills and Pikedale districts.

The wind farm is also proposed to include 18 turbines owned and operated by the Queensland Government’s publicly-owned renewable energy agency CleanCo. A new powerline connecting the wind farm to the Millmerran power station would run through the SDRC area at Karara.

Veterans’ awards Maranoa MP David Littleproud is encouraging local organisations who employ and support members of the veteran community, or veterans making a significant contribution to their workplace to nominate for the 2021 Prime Minister’s Veterans’ Employment Awards.

The Awards are an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate veterans, and the organisations from across Australia who employ former Australian Defence Force (ADF) members and their families “Our region is home to many veterans who are now self-employed or employed by local organisations and help our community thrive,” Mr Littleproud said.

“Business is at the heart of our community, and this is one way organisations can be recognised as industry leaders in employing and supporting the veteran community.

“I encourage individuals and organisations of all sizes to nominate for the 2021 Awards.”

Over 5,500 people leave the ADF every year, and the Government’s aim is to ensure each person is able to transition into civilian life effectively and find meaningful employment.

Members of the ADF gain an extensive range of skills, abilities, behaviours and attributes that make them valuable additions to the civilian workplace.

The Awards are part of the broader Prime Minister’s Veterans’ Employment Program, which is aimed at supporting veterans’ employment and building an understanding in the greater community of the valuable skills ADF personnel possess.

Nominations for the Awards are now open online. For further information and to nominate visit the Prime Minister’s Veterans’ Employment Program website at www.veteransemployment.gov.au Nominations close on 20 November 2020, with winners to be announced in 2021.

OPINION FreeTimes.com.au

So much to savour...

By Samantha Wantling I remember my Nana telling me that everything we go through in life has a silver lining.

Whilst I did not always appreciate her optimism, it has taken me nearly 50 years to realise ... .she was right. And there is no denying Covid has presented the Granite Belt with this perfect example.

When booking.com revealed which Aussie gems were getting the most love from the Australian travellers this year, it was no surprise to anyone who lives and breathes our region, that the Granite Belt took out the number one spot.

Suddenly people who have never even heard of the Granite Belt (hard to believe I know) are paying us a long overdue visit and what they are discovering is an area rich in everything that tantalises the senses.

But what is it about the Granite Belt that has the country talking?

You can always start with our national parks.

They seem to rise from the earth to become a part of the most beautiful of sunrises and sunsets that paint enormous granite boulders with an unending palette of colour. A simple walk through these parks and you quickly become lost in an almost prehistoric terrain as it winds its way through a magnificent display that only mother nature can deliver.

Or perhaps it is the appeal of sharing a world class wine with friends and family and hearing its journey from the vine to the glass direct from the passionate winemaker. Every winery has its own story, whether it is the longest operating winery on the Granite Belt or one of the new kids on the block, and every operator is more than happy to explain the history of wine in our region and their views on its future. There is not

a palate not catered for, whether you are a true wine connoisseur, or this is your first array into the world of wine tasting.

But you cannot just rest at our wine, with every good drop you have to team with some delectable cuisine, and the Granite Belt provides that in droves. With restaurants and cafes alike providing an emphasis on fresh and local, Granite Belt chefs have embraced the cultural diversity that is rife within the region and added this to their assorted menus.

What many do not know is the Granite Belt is at the heart of Queensland food bowl and this achievement is celebrated within every morsel that is prepared throughout the district.

Of course, many people come specifically for the serenity. With sun soaked, lazy days to uninterrupted night skies, serenity should just be our middle name. Nothing says the Granite Belt more than sitting in front of a fire with a bottle of our vino, a platter of local delicacies and the sound of silence to complete the backdrop.

And if you have not been busy enough, don’t forget to enjoy spectacular markets, unique shopping, one-of-a-kind attractions, four distinct and magnificent seasons, country- hospitality accommodation at its finest and the list just continues.

So what is it about the Granite Belt that has the country talking, I hear you ask ... ..the answer is actually able to be summed up in one word ... ... EVERYTHING. It has truly been an uphill battle for our region to gain this recognition and with drought, fire and Covid chomping at our heels, the Granite Belt has risen to come of age. The clouds have parted, and our silver lining is now within our reach.

Bridge notes The 2020 Pairs Champions are Beverly and Neil Bonnell with Pat Kelly and Mavis Simpson in second place. After Round 1 of the Teams Championship the Rose team (John Rose, David Moran, Mavis Simpson and Noela Collins) are leading from the Hart team (Ros Hart, Nea McGinness, Judy Mobbs and Susan Goddard).

In teams contests, making vulnerable games (e.g. ten tricks in hearts or spades and nine in no trumps) whenever there is an even chance is an important tactic. On Board 21 (above) Noela Collins and Mavis Simpson reached 4S with Mavis Simpson (South) as declarer after East had competed with a heart bid. West obediently led a heart, whereas the six of clubs may have tempted declarer to rise with the Ace, only to see it trumped. Mavis happily trumped the heart, took three rounds

of trumps then started on the minor suits, conceding the Jack of spades and two tricks in the minor suits. This was worth 620 compared with 170 when their cautious opponents stopped in 3S and scored only 170. The only other pair to reach 4S was Leanne Munson and Sandra Head.

Results: Friday, 23/10/20 (6-table Mitchell Pairs Championship): N/S N. Bonnell B. Bonnell (65.1) ; J. Mobbs C. Duggan (57.5) 2; M. Johnsotn T. Hinde (56.8) 3. E/W P. Kelly M. Simpson (59.8) 1; S.

Flood siren system testing Southern Downs Regional Council will conduct annual routine testing of its Flood Emergency Warning Systems at Killarney and Leyburn on Friday 30 October 2020 between 9am and 1pm.

Council’s Local Disaster Coordinator, Michael Bell said the sirens will be audible for between 915 metres and 1,280 metres depending on weather conditions.

During the testing residents will hear the following pre-recorded test message: ‘Attention. Attention. This is a test of the public warning system. I repeat this is only a test.’

Residents will hear a wailing tone similar to that of a commercial fire alarm.

Council emphasises to Killarney and Leyburn residents that the activation of the test message does not imply that the townships are under any immediate threat of

flash flooding. However, any activation of the siren outside the stated times indicates a genuine emergency warning to the community.

The message in an emergency is: ‘Attention. Attention. This is a flood warning announcement. Avoid low lying areas.

Move to higher ground now. I repeat move to higher ground now.’

Public information sessions about the Flood Emergency Warning Systems have previously been held in Killarney and Leyburn and it is important that the community is aware of the warning system and what to do when they activate.

The two siren systems are located: Killarney Police Station, Ivy Street, Killarney Leyburn Police Station, Leyburn Forestry Road, Leyburn

Good old-fashioned fare and friendly service

By Tania Phillips A good old fish and chip shop with the hamburgers that that they grew up eating - that’s what Gina and Dave Kerr from G&D Fish and Chips set out to do when they set up the shop 19 months ago.

“We sell fish and chips, hamburgers,” Dave said matter-of-factly but as you chat to him you realise just how much thought goes into the fast food since they swapped operating a service station with some food for the fish and chip shop.

“We do the old type of hamburger the way they used to be made - the whole idea of the fish and chip shop to start with we always wanted to do it the old-fashioned way. I even tried to buy old newspaper printed paper but you can’t get it the size you need.”

But while there is no news-print paper around their food - they do have one of the other old-fashioned staples. Yes there is beetroot on some of their hamburgers.

They even have a Warwick burger which is two works burgers in one - that’s their flagship

burger according to Dave and the have generous servings particularly of their chips and are careful to source good quality fish and produce particularly barramundi which is their top-selling fish. He said they had a lot of discussions around the dinner table before they opened about what the food would be like and what they would sell.

“One of the things I tell all staff - if you wouldn’t eat it - don’t sell,” Dave said.

G&D have, like most businesses started in the past year or so, had a bit of a baptism of fire with Covid 19 restrictions - but being predominantly a takeaway (they took the few chairs and tables away for a while in the early days of lockdown) it probably affected them less than most according to Dave.

“We open from Wednesday through to Sunday we go 11am to 2pm and have a break and we’re back 4pm-8pm so we’re open for dinner and lunch,” he said.

“We’re right opposite the park in Palmerin Street. We get a lot of people coming in on Sunday’s - they get a feed and go across the road

and sit down as a family unit. We have family packs and snack packs. We do packs for one, two and a family.

“It was very popular when everyone was stopped from going anywhere - we were really busy then - when people weren’t able to leave the five kms - but now people are moving around a bit more we’ve backed of a little bit.

Director Ridley Scott (The Martian) revitalises the sword and sandal epic, employing cutting-edge computer-generated images to recreate ancient Rome to stunning effect. Russell Crowe is magnificent as Maximus, the Roman general who is demoted to slave when he falls out of favour with Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix, pictured), who seizes power by murdering his emperor father (Richard Harris). Maximus finds himself as part of the gladiator circus – weapon-wielding brutes battling to the death before a stadium audience.

BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS SEVEN, 7pm

When renting or living in a share house it can be difficult to add personal flair to your space if you have any intention of seeing your bond again. Given that staying at home has never been more popular, interior design guru Tara Dennis has devised three stylish and easy fixes to make any house feel like home.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, it might seem like Melbourne’s lockdown has got the best of chef Karen Martini. Her coffee and pepper-spiced chicken with pineapple and mint salad sounds like the result of a kitchen experiment gone wrong, but Martini assures us they make a surprisingly delicious combo.

ROSE MATAFEO: HORNDOG ABC COMEDY, 8.30pm

Performed to sold-out crowds in Melbourne and New Zealand before winning Best Show at the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Awards in 2018, this hour-long show from New Zealand comic Rose Matafeo (pictured) is a playful personal investigation of love and relationships as a millennial, filmed in London earlier this year. Matafeo wins audiences over instantly with her relatable recollections of teenage embarrassment and tales of passion. No, not that kind of passion – the 20-something comedian confesses that the show is misleadingly titled and perhaps not as raunchy as the title suggests. For her, it’s about “loving anything passionately enough to devote your life to it”.

Even if your own game nights have shifted to video calls this year, you’ll get plenty of relatable laughs in this romp through misadventure from directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. Jason Bateman (pictured) and Rachel McAdams are Annie and Max, a competitive couple obsessed with board games. But when Max’s big-shot brother Brooks (Kyle Chandler) throws an all-too-real murder mystery party at their weekly games night, their usually sensible affair becomes a game of dangerous oneupmanship. The script is sharp and delivered with brilliant comedic timing by the enthusiastic ensemble cast including a hilariously creepy Jesse Plemons as a cop desperate for a party invite and New Girl’s Lamorne Morris.

Karen Martini cooks up a storm in Better Homes And Gardens.

Rose City Writers Group...

The Free Times is featuring contributions from the Rose City Writers Group - this week ROSEMARY EASTON has three pieces to share ...

HOW REAL IS REALITY TELEVISION? Reality television currently floods our free to air channels. New and additional shows relating to cooking, extreme sport, dating and ridiculous “fun” are regularly presented to draw in viewers with their bright and bubbly commercials.

This genre of TV is far from reality as it extends its tendrils into more and more ridiculous situations. Promotions for these shows display screaming contestants, canned laughter, extreme melodramas, impossible and dangerous challenges, tears, temper tantrums and similar, designed to hook viewers.

Some contestants are perceived as “evil”, bullying, sarcastic, rude, discourteous, tactless individuals venting their spleen on perceived “good” rivals. The shows have too many contestants vying for success and drawing out the length of a series, taking time slots that could be used for more interesting and stimulating content.

Reality TV draws in around fifty percent of the viewing audience and as a result the shows are peppered with multiple advertisements, interspersed with rather short snippets of the actual presentations. Rarely do these programs run to advertised time, running overtime, distressing people who record shows or await the next one, forcing them to be subjected to the reality situation, perhaps with the intent of sparking their interest.

The shows are scripted and edited with producers encouraged to depict conflict, urging contestants on to be more and more controversial. The time frame of the actual scenario is for one hour whereas the whole show is filmed over days, weeks or even months. Ridiculously the judges push the anticipation with the need to hurry as time is running out. All false. Talent is not required, and some scenarios would not be acceptable in normal society.

Shows depicting romance, dating, partnerships and similar are suggestive in some content and place contestants in unreal predicaments pushing them into difficult situations and even dangerous scenarios. Depression, extreme disappointment and false declaration have been suffered by participants. Maybe some viewers are influenced by this and their expectations may lead to unreal and impossible relationships.

Qualified judges have some role in decision making, but not all input in selecting competition winners. Team judgement and phone votes decide winners who maybe more popular than skilled.

Reality shows appear to be growing in numbers so apparently appeal to many. Psychologist have joined the debate giving positive reasons for their popularity. Statistics, however, are showing a decline in viewer numbers.

It is time for programmers to review their reality content and begin to balance shows by offering wider viewing genres to attract a larger audience. Good news, real skill activities, pleasing role models, positive outcomes, feel good movies and well scripted series would be popular and attract the sort-after advertisers and raise the standard of television viewing showing normality, real people and depict common courtesy and respect.

Viewer must move to change the flood of reality shows by making their voices heard.

Silent, suffering fans deserve better treatment.

Turn off or change channels from reality shows to get the message to management. Fewer viewer will discourage advertisers, the source of revenue will decrease, and the television industry will be forced to include balanced, alternative genres to the general populous.

STICKY SITUATION Today is my brother’s wedding. The children are ready: Tim, wearing a tuxedo and Jemima a mini-wedding outfit. James, who is driving a wedding car, left earlier. I pick up the keys and hurry to the children. I hear voices in the kitchen. There are the children with a jar of honey.

Little hands, faces and clothes covered in the sticky liquid.

“Nice, mummy,” said Jemima.

“Yummy,” said Tim. “Ahhhh,” said mummy.

Off with the clothes. Into the bath. On with clean clothes. Into the car. Away.

Made it with seconds to spare.

“Aren’t they sweet!” beamed James.

A DOG’S TALE “Hello. My name is Sirius Black. I am a standard poodle. I am named after a favourite character in the famous Harry Potter Series.

My father’s name is Ambrose Magicalia.

He is a prize winner from multiple shows. He needed to be groomed and clipped for these events. Thank goodness I am not on the show circuit as I think he looks dreadful!

I am part of a litter of eight, so from an early age, I needed to assert my authority. Luckily my teeth weren’t perfect. My original owners decided against a canine orthodontist to correct this, so instead of being a show dog, I was to become a domestic pet.

My forever family is great. They love me and I love them. Their role included training

me and straightening my teeth. I had to roll a tennis ball inside my mouth to realign my eyeteeth. Now I have a perfect smile!

I was trained at Urban Dog Training. The trainer thought I was a demi-God (whatever that is!). I was taught to come when called, sit and stay, leave and retrieve, lead walking, recall, clicks and tricks, off leash control and agility.

My owner used a clicker. When I understood a command, he clicked it and gave me a treat. I didn’t take long to master this.

Oh! I am spoilt. I have the choice of two beds, one inside, one outside. I have the run of the house and go for long, interesting walks with my family.

I relish the friendship of three cats. Initially I chased them, but the click and training came

into play and now I respect their individuality and friendship. Sometimes we sleep together, and I allow them to feed from my bowl.

Occasionally I revert to dog behaviour. I chew up the odd book, pull stuffing out of toys and pester people to play ball with me. After all, there are a few things which gain attention!

I receive presents at Christmas and other special days. My favourites include an ostrich, crocodile, treats and tennis balls. The trick is when they are worn out, they are lovingly replaced!

I treasure pats and smooge up to visitors and encourage them to play with me.

My life is amazing. I visualise many happy years ahead. I am so contented that if I were a cat, I would purr with delight.”

Farewell to local legend

By Peter and James Blundell Vale Peter Warren Blundell 19 February 1936 - 26 September 2020 Born in the Stanthorpe Hospital on 19 February 1936, Dad called the Traprock region, West of Stanthorpe, home for his entire life. In this age of movement and relocation, he was happy to remain in the one position, often being heard to say, “they’ll carry me out of here in a pine box”. He made a mighty fine effort at achieving this goal, having only short stints in the Stanthorpe Hospital and Carramar Aged Care, before his demise on 26 September 2020.

The care that both these institutions gave was first class. At a time when so many negative comments are being made about aged care, we are extremely fortunate to have these facilities in our community.

Dad was always a very active community member, playing both tennis and cricket locally as a young man. He was a foundation member of Stanthorpe Toastmasters, and appeared in many musicals and stage productions.

These shows would often have performances in Tenterfield and Warwick, at the old Rex Theatre. I remember helping practise lines from such classics as The Gondoliers, Paint Your Wagon, Calamity Jane, Annie Get Your Gun, Oklahoma, HMS Pinafore and many more. I had the pleasure of appearing alongside Dad in two of these productions; The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, and Tarantara.

Dad spent many, many years on the Stanthorpe Show and Rodeo Society, as it was in those days. Countless working bees were attended to improve the facilities at the show ground. He had a wealth of stories about building horse stalls and the rodeo arena. Our old International truck carted load after load of ironbark posts from the Traprock, from our property and others, for these projects. Dad was President of the Show and Rodeo Society in 1974, 1975, the Centenary year, and 1976.

Breeding and showing horses and Campdrafting were passions of Dads. His father used to take it in very bad part when, on the weekend, Dad would load up the old truck, “Jitters”, and head to the nearest, or not so near, campdraft or rodeo. He travelled extensively through Northern New South Wales and Southern Queensland to attend these events, having occasional success, but more often than not, simply enjoying the company of likeminded people from the land. In those days, everyone worked their stock on horses, and the standard of competition on the weekends was high.

He had a devotion to Australian Stock Horses, and spent many years judging, classifying and promoting these animals. He became a member of the Australian Stock Horse Society in 1972, was the inaugural President of the Queensland State Management Council, and was awarded Honorary Life Membership of the Society in 1990.

Dad was also a bush poet, capturing the funny stories, anecdotes, beauty and severity of the country and people he loved so dearly.

His self-published booklet of his verse is a timeless reminder of what he found important, what gave his life reason and purpose, why he

English rose Majory and Peter on their wedding day. The pair met in the UK and spent a lifetime together - raising two sons. loved his land so much, and why he was so determined to be “carted off in a pine box”.

Peter is survived by by sons, Peter and James, grandchildren, Peter, Harry, Nicola,, Briar, Travis, Fian and Rhia and great grandchildren, Charlie and Maddie,.

- Peter Charles Blundell, 13th October 2020.

As Jim Morrison said.. ‘no one here gets out alive’.

Even though it was inevitable, and we were as prepared as it’s possible to be for Dad’s pass-

Local all his life Peter Warren Blundell. ing, nothing prepares you for the loss of a truly unique individual.. the words ‘absolute gentleman’ have surfaced time and time again in people’s condolences. He was definitely that, but many other things as well.. irascible, loyal, infuriating, incredibly loveable, the list goes on.

Personally I’ve lost my longest serving drinking partner, best sparring partner, and favourite poet. to our family, we’ve lost Papa, a completely irreplaceable part of our complex family puzzle. The old man went to the UK when he was a young fella to learn all about Hereford cattle.... he came home with a new skill set on cattle and “Love”, for it is in the UK, that he met

and courted my beautiful mother, Marjory.

He didn’t waste any time proposing and bringing her back to the Australian bush... she took to it like a duck to water and shared his love of the land and i’s animals... she loved this place like it had always been her home. We reckon he and mum are slowly working their way through an exceptional bottle of Malt Whiskey making up for lost time.. love you mate, miss you beyond the telling, and am eternally grateful for the love, fights, performances, horses and adventures we’ve shared from day one of my 56 years..

Water views...

As I am writing this we are receiving some of the best rain we’ve experienced in Warwick for a long time. However the water situation is still critical and unfortunately may remain so for some time, no end in sight or suggestion of easing water restrictions.

The continuing water shortages are of great concern to me as the lack of water to garden and do ordinary household chores, eg. cleaning windows and the outside areas of homes, has an ongoing and detrimental effect on the population, both physically and mentally. It is a well documented medical fact that looking at green and growing things is beneficial and uplifting for people - similarly fresh air and sunshine have benefits. In countries near the polar regions that have extended hours of darkness, “light booths” are provided to solve this problem ... how are we going to provide “green booths”?

The only resolution to this Australia wide problem that I can see in the long term is to build more water storages.

However, in the shorter term in our area, I believe the uncapping and recommissioning of the numerous bores would help the situation.

Of continuing assistance I believe it should be council policy and mandatory for all new buildings to be fitted with rainwater tanks for household and garden use.

The first home I lived in when I came to Warwick was, and this water was for use in the laundry, toilets and externally. ... not for human consumption. The system was set up so that if the tanks ran dry, town water could easily be diverted for these uses.

If such a system was required to be installed on new builds it would free up large quantities of town water. Retro fitting such a system to existing buildings would be costly but would add very little to the cost of a new build. It may require some modification to designs but surely that is why we employ architects.

The government has successfully talked people into paying for and providing electricity through installing solar on their roofs instead of having to build more power stations.

I don’t see why, with a similar add campaign,

the population couldn’t be convinced to provide water storage by collecting storm water!

Beatrice Hawkins Warwick Water problems in Warwick are very concerning, as the towns seems to be getting very drab-looking. We are supposed to be the Rose City but nobody can use water for a garden, or to clean their homes outside.

I agree we need restrictions, but for the sake of ‘mental health’ I can’t see why we can’t have 150 litres daily of water per person and use this as we want. Some people waste, I know, but most of us are sparing and use common sense.

A lot of older people only have a garden for interest and this has been taken away. With the way we are forced to live with this virus you need to keep your spirits up.

Something needs to be done about Warwick water for the future, but nothing seems to be happening. We can’t keep supplying Stanthorpe forever.

I have lived and worked here all my life since retiring I have spend thousands of dollars in the garden, just to watch it die now, when just one hour a week watering with the hose would keep it alive. Does not give you much incentive to stay here, or for other peo-

ple to move here when we have no water.

I realise we are in a drought but surely something can be done.

Many years ago Bellinghams Bridge was tested for a dam, but up to now nothing has been done. What a shame there is not more planning for the future.

Name & address withheld

Botanic gardens It is now six years since I first approached the Free Times with details of my proposal for a Botanic Gardens. In that period I have encountered all manner of ridicule etc, but on 23 /1/2019, Council unanimously agreed with my concept designs for a Botanic gardens on Quart Pot Creek and charged Council staff to arrange for a professional architect to create a Master Plan -- they have done that and delivered to Council (community) a plan that would be the envy of any community in Australia for its excellence and vision - Council staff did a fantastic job to deliver such a plan to the community - a truly once in a lifetime chance for a community to shine.

The managers’ report and attached plan presented to Council on 14/10/20 was a thoroughly professional document, but from what

LETTERS

transpired at the meeting, only two Councillors actually READ that report, and particularly the statement about the budget.

The architects rightfully set out a possible cost of the project over the lifetime of the development period 10/15 + years, and involving totally exterior contractors for every stage as $47million! It is a quantity surveyor’s estimate based on commercial cost rates, BUT, Council is not tied to that figure, indeed, with the Auditor-General’s legislated requirement for Government being to obtain expressions of interest, quotes, invite tenders, review tenders, accept and obtain funding approvals would produce a totally different set of figures, and, as some work may be undertaken by community volunteers the suggested $47 m may be half for all the community knows.

On top of that included in the suggested costs are an art gallery and cultural centre not even recognised by the bandit Councillors.

What beggars belief is Council has contracted for a masterplan, has paid for it, OWNS A MASTERPIECE PLAN DESIGN and is in denial at the community expense - they only have to endorse the plan! What they do after that should be the subject of specific Council meetings for that purpose. To not endorse the plan means should the Federal Government offer community stimulus funding eg the old RED scheme type, there are some 30 jobs available in site preparation, NOT accessible unless Council can present an endorsed plan, ELEMENTARY! At 87 I should not have to champion the community need/cause, but I started with the idea to endeavour to see a regional entity, for, particularly, the aged and infirm, the handicapped and disabled including dementia, the very young, regional visitors and the general community - I will never see it, the late Stan Kuhle who donated land and $100000 to create ‘Peacehaven Botanic Gardens’ never saw it but the thousands that visit and treasure it are the beneficiaries. Couldn’t rise to the occasion - wouldn’t rise to the occasion despite being given the privilege of being elected Councillor.

It has been a lonely road and now I would like to see some fair and balanced dialogue for the benefit of the regional community.

GRDC appointments...

Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management, David Littleproud, has appointed the next Grains Research Development Corporation (GRDC) non-executive directors for a three-year term, which commenced on 1 October 2020.

Minister Littleproud said among the seven persons appointed, three are reappointments and four are new appointees.

“The appointment of the next non-executive directors is paramount to realising the priorities highlighted in GRDC’s Research, Development and Extension Plan for 2018 2023,” Minister Littleproud said.

“The directors will oversee approximately $114 million in grain levies and approximately $60 million in government matched funds.

“GRDC has set ambitious targets and is delivering on a long-term strategy to create enduring profitability for Australian grain growers.

“The directors’ role is to deliver the best possible research and development to support Australian grain producers to be profitable and succeed in the highly competitive global grain market.

“For example, through strategic investment led by GRDC and its directors, Australian scientists have developed a new tool to better determine when to act against Russian wheat aphid, to reduce harvest losses.

“GRDC is also hosting a series of half-day

forums that focus on harvest loss reduction, harvest weed seed control and preventing harvester fires.

“This work of the GRDC leadership team will enable growers, advisers and contractors to learn about strategies to improve harvest practices from industry experts.

“Research and development led by GRDC benefits our hard working grain growers, ensuring that more grain goes in the bin and more money ends up in their pockets.

· · · · · · ·

“I’m confident the new board members are the right people to lead the GRDC through the challenges ahead.

“I congratulate the new directors and look forward to working together to benefit our rural and regional communities.

“I also want to take this opportunity to thank outgoing directors for the leadership, skills and expertise they brought to the GRDC’s operations during their appointments.”

Funding for chickpea breeding program announced The GRDC has launched its new Chickpea Breeding Australia program to improve chickpea production across Australia.

Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management David Littleproud said the Australian Government’s investment in GRDC is delivering for chickpea growers, and that the new chickpea breeding program would boost chickpea production value and offer greater opportunities for export producers.

“Chickpea Breeding Australia will help expand development of new chickpea varieties in existing and new production areas,” Minister Littleproud said.

“This investment will deliver more trial plots across the country, meaning the expansion of chickpea growing regions across Australia.

“The research aims to increase yield, quality and disease resistance of chickpea varieties.

“Chickpea production is forecast to reach 708,000 tonnes in 2020-21, an increase of 152 per cent on the previous year. This equates to a forecast gross production value of $580 million in 2020-21.

“The value of chickpea exports for 202021 is forecast to reach $590 million, up from $306 million in 2019-20.”

Chickpea Breeding Australia is a $30 million, five-year research collaboration be-

tween the GRDC and the NSW Government, and will be delivered from the NSW Department of Primary Industries’ (DPI) Tamworth Agricultural Institute.

A new $2.5 million world-class glasshouse and controlled environment room facility has also been unveiled in Tamworth. This state-of-the-art facility will be the headquarters for Chickpea Breeding Australia.

The announcement of the program also coincides with the launch of the latest Australian chickpea variety, CBA Captain. This new erect desi chickpea variety has moderate lodging resistance and excellent harvestability with broad adaptation to all chickpea growing regions across Australia.

The GRDC Chair John Woods said the new breeding program was an excellent example of collaboration between the GRDC and NSW DPI that would deliver for growers across the country.

“This investment in both operations and infrastructure will result in significant increases in chickpea breeding capacity over the next five years,” Mr Woods said.

“It will also build on the extensive work done under the previous Pulse Breeding Australia program, which was also led by NSW DPI in partnership with the GRDC, Queensland’s Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, Agriculture Victoria, and the South Australian Research and Development Insti-

tute (the research division of the SA Department of Primary Industries and Regions).

“The GRDC has a long history of effective collaboration with research partners to deliver to Australian grain growers, and chickpea breeding is one of our success stories.”

vation and marketing. Almost $300 million of this is Australian Government funding from taxpayers, and around $500 million comes from industry levies.

In 2019-20, GRDC invested $182 million into its research, development and extension portfolio, which includes 719 projects designed to ensure the ongoing profitability of Australia’s grain growers.

By Tania Phillips A cider company using Granite Belt apples for it’s products has donated back to the region to help those still being affected by drought.

Back in February Granite Belt Cider Company made a commitment to donate a percentage of the profits from every Treehouse Cider to a local charity - a commitment they honoured this week.

The company handed a donation $12,500 to Granite Belt Water Relief, the local not-forprofit organization delivering truckloads of fresh water and supplies to communities and farmers.

The donation was welcomed by Stanthorpe truck driver Russell Wantling, the man who began the charity 15 months ago with his wife SFT advertising manager Samantha.

“Because of Covid all of our donations dropped off and then we didn’t get our wet winter, we haven’t had much rain at all really, there’s a lot of people really desperate for water so this has really helped,” Russell said.

“All the rural people really appreciate what they’ve done. Granite Belt Cider is fantastic, you can’t describe it, a lot of people just haven’t got words to thank them.”

The charity has now been going 15 months and Russell said it was nice to still be getting support from businesses like the Cider Company because as much as there was rain at the weekend, the region is still not near where it should be when it comes to water.

“I live up on the catchment of Storm King Dam and there is nothing going in there at all after all that rain there is no run-off to the dam yet,” he said.

“There might be a little bit going into some tanks, which is good and a lot of people are really aware of water these days. They don’t waste it anymore - there very good.

“We know that we have a bit of security for a bit longer thanks to donations like that from Granite Belt Cider.”

With $25 buying a 1000 litre pod and $500 purchasing a truckload of water which helps 20 families, the donation will purchase 500,000 litres of water trucked out to communities in the Granite Belt.

Sustainability Manager of Granite Belt Cider Co’s parent company, Fermentum, James Perrin said it only made sense to put a campaign in place to support the farms who support them.

“We only use Granite Belt apple juice in our ciders, so by giving water to local farmers who are severely drought affected, we’re helping to make sure they can keep growing great apples for generations to come, and ultimately keep their businesses afloat.

“Half the Granite Belt region isn’t connected to town water so they’re reliant on tank water and with minimal rainfall, that means the tanks are empty or near empty.”

Pic Granite Belt Cider representative Pat Coulson (centre) hands over the company’s donation to Russell Wantling under the watchful eye Katie Burton and Jess McWatt-Forbes from the Stockholm the Cider Co PR team and Stephen Tancred representing Rotary – who have been instrumental in helping with Water Relief charity.

Granite Belt Water Relief brings water in to their site’s holding tanks in Applethorpe so locals can pull up and fill their own containers and IBCs, free of charge, to take back to their farms.

A million Queenslanders working in the State’s major industries have urged all political parties to prioritise the Three R’s - Revenue, Regions, and Regulation that is reasonable - to ensure our continued strong growth.

The five industries - agriculture, mining and gas, tourism, timber and property - collectively employ one in three Queenslanders.

AgForce, Queensland Resources Council (QRC), Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC), Property Council of Australia (PC) and Timber Queensland (TQ) have joined forces to call on the next State Government to prioritise the Three R’s to ensure a strong post-COVID recovery.

At a time when Queensland has recorded Australia’s highest unemployment rate, with forecasts it will rise to nine per cent, the five peak organisations have established common ground and United for Recovery on behalf of their sectors and the community.

They are calling on the next Queensland Government to commit to developing the State’s regions, stabilising the Budget and collaborating effectively with industry bodies on regulation.

AgForce General President Georgie Somerset said regional Queensland was the engine room of the State’s economy and needed appropriate policy settings to be able to deliver maximum value for all Queenslanders.

“Agriculture - driven by around 18,000 primarily family-owned farms who feed and clothe us - pumps $18 billion into the economy annually and is the cornerstone of thousands of rural and regional communities,” Mrs Somerset said.

QRC Chief Executive Ian Macfarlane said each industry body shared the view that keeping Queenslanders earning, working and contributing to the State economy was the best way to respond to and overcome the challenges of COVID-19.

“The Queensland resources industry contributed $74 billion to the state economy last year and supported the jobs of 372,000 people, so we’re asking the next government to work closely with our sector for the benefit of all Queenslanders to create more jobs and stimulate a strong economic recovery from COVID,” Mr Macfarlane said.

CEO Daniel Gschwind said tourism delivered vital economic benefits to regional communities that supported thousands of jobs in all parts of the State.

“A partnership with government is critical to develop catalytic infrastructure and provide an efficient regulatory framework to fully activate tourism’s potential for the recovery,” Mr Gschwind said.

PC’s Queensland Executive Director Chris Mountford said unlocking private sector investment must be at the forefront of any new Government’s agenda.

“The private sector is ready and willing to invest and create new jobs in Queensland, however without the right tax settings in place, that investment will find a new home elsewhere,” Mr Mountford said.

TQ CEO Mick Stephens said that the forest products industry supported many regional jobs and delivered much needed timber supply into the State’s building and construction sector.

“Having more certainty around regulation and infrastructure will improve the investment environment and allow the industry to grow and further contribute to regional jobs and prosperity,” Mr Stephens said.

Casey O’Connor

Grand Finals serve it up There is no denying 2020 is a year like no other but in these unusual circumstances sports fans were served up a double dose of extraordinary in this year’s AFL and NRL grand finals.

Many Victorians thought the sky would fall if the GF was taken away from MCG and for a moment on Saturday afternoon, as the skies turned black and the rain bucketed down in Brisbane, Gil McLaughlin and the AFL heavies could have been forgiven for thinking it was actually going to happen.

The weather lifted, the Gabba showed what an amazing surface it is as the water drained away miraculously (Clem Jones probably speaking to the man upstairs explaining the intricate drainage system beneath his hallowed piece of turf albeit with a slice of the MCG added). Suddenly it was ball up and it was as if there was not a thing wrong in the world for four quarters of football (unless you were following the Cats).

It was a marvellous spectacle and from a dyed-in-the-wool league fan it was a fascinating and entertaining game.

Whether or not you are a Tigers fan there is no denying the talent and skill of threetime Norm Smith medallist Dusty Martin.

While the Tigers may have some detractors, they showed plenty of class, led by captain Trent Cochin removing their premiership medals as they joined the guard of honour paying tribute to one of the greatest, Gary Ablett, “the little general” as he left the game for the final time.

Of course, there are the southern naysayers who did not appreciate the game timeslot but then nothing short of the MCG was going to soothe their anguish. They ought to be grateful they had a 2020 comepitition.

On Sunday, the action moved to Sydney’s ANZ stadium for the NRL grand final.

After Peter V’Landy’s and his team led the way showing the world how to run a complex competition in a pandemic situation, the icing on the 2020 NRL cake was a thrilling grand final.

The young legs of the minor premiers, the Panthers, up against the wily and experienced Melbourne Storm juggernaut.

The skies over ANZ opened-up just to add another element to the contest.

Youth and enthusiasm proved no match for age and experience in the opening stages of the game and although Gus Gould bombarded us with commentary on how the Panthers were on top really, the scoreboard told a very different tale at half-time.

The second half had everything. The almost obligatory official blunders and plenty of theatre as that youth and enthusiasm, and did I mention talent, mounted a comeback.

It had us all on the edge of our seats and Bellyache rearranging the furniture in the coach’s box as Melbourne held on for an epic win.

No arguments though as a Ryan Papenhuyzen was presented the Clive Churchill Medal.

Both the Richmond and Melbourne have previously tasted success.

Both clubs have also faced plenty of challenges and there is no doubt their 2020 premierships will hold a very special place in the folklore of their respective clubs.

This year we have seen how closely sport is woven into our society. Sport is truly part of the Aussie DNA. The grand final games of both codes were a fitting end to season 2020.

A season where our elite footballers have shown us that they are so much more than just talented sportsmen.

Casey

AFL WRAP Commeth the hour; Commeth the man - surely that was penned for Richmond’s Dusty Martin.

As the Cats dominated early doors at the Gabba, it was Martin who stepped up. Just a

Winners of the JD Rowland Foursomes honour board event, Sam Hinze and Anna Cox played the final on Sunday and look as pleased to be back in the comfort of the clubhouse after their narrow win. couple of minutes before the long break, with the Cats holding a comfortable lead, Martin snapped a goal to cut the margin to 15.

It planted a seed of doubt in the Cats camp and a seed of hope in the ranks of the Black and Gold Army.

After the break it was Martin who led the way, righting the Tiger’s ship and setting Richmond on a winning course.

The Black and Gold army believed it, and the rest of us witnessed greatness in this final.

To win one Norm Smith Medal as best and fairest in a grand final is a dream. Win two and it ensures your name will never be forgotten.

Only three others aside from Martin had previously won two Norm Smith medals - Gary Ayres, Luke Hodge and Andrew McLeod.

If you win three then you must be Dusty Martin because no-one has ever scaled those lofty heights before.

Along with the third Norm Smith comes the unofficial accolade as the greatest finals’ footballer in AFL/VFL history.

The Tigers completed their three-pete and Dusty was undeniably the best player on the paddock on each occasion.

His performance in GF 2020 bordered on supernatural. Players, spectators and commentators could only watch and wonder.

As people look back on the 2020 grand final Martin’s fourth goal late in the dying moments of the game will remain one of the game’s highlights.

Mere mortals would not consider attempting his late snap at goal. For Dusty it was all in a day’s work.

Teammate Shane Edwards summed it up.

“One of the most individually brilliant goals that I’ve ever seen. “You become a spectator.

For about 10 seconds there you’re just thinking, ‘He couldn’t, could he?’, and he does.”

As one champion was crowned another exited the game, Gary Ablett. While Ablett departs as one of the finest products of the game you wonder how much greater his legacy may have been had he not been lured to the Gold Coast at the peak of his career.

Martin on the other hand is committed to remaining a Tiger for life.

After winning his third Norm Smith he said, “There’s no way I would have been able to do it without my teammates,”.

“We’re an unbelievable team. It’s not a oneman team, we all do our part. We’re humble and we’re hungry. Success is awesome.”

Dare I say; Dusty you’re awesome.

HE’S THE BOSS The weekend was not all AFL and NRL, there

was a significant horse race on in Melbourne the champions grand final, the W S Cox Plate.

Talk about ‘Commeth the man.’ In racing circles there is no-one who can step up to a big occasion better than one of Gympie’s favourite son’s, Glen Boss.

After a suspension putting him out of contention for the Cox Plate ride, Hugh Bowman, who knows a thing or two about what it takes to win a Cox Plate, convinced connections of Sir Dragonet to give the ride to G Boss.

Boss has a pretty good record in the race himself having won three prior to this year. (So You think, Makybe Div and Ocean Park).

Glen Boss and Sir Dragonet proved to be a perfect match and the rest is history.

The international galloper now trained by the Ciaron Maher, David Eustace partnership was an impressive winner leaving the talented field in his wake. He impressed Boss enough to snap up the ride in the Melbourne Cup (another race he knows a bit about winning) sending an ominous warning to his rivals.

Boss is not one to hide his emotions or shy away from a celebration. On Saturday found himself in the stewards room for a couple of expensive breaches.

The stewards relieved Boss of $1000 for his extravagant celebrations as he stood high in the irons waving his whip in jubilation before Sir Dragonet passed the winning post.

In the post race celebrations in the mounting yard he hugged connections of the winner, breaching COVID protocols.

A hug that cost him another $1000. if Sir Dragonet lives up to Bossy’s expectations next Tuesday, he’ll probably have the cheque ready for the stewards as he weighs in.

As attention turns to ‘that’ race next Tuesday these are my early Melbourne Cup fancies in no particular order:Finche; Sir Dragonet; Anthony Van Dyck; Miami Bound. Don’t dismiss Vow and Declare. If a P Moody runner earns a start I’ll be forced to find a spot for it in a trifecta. Happy punting.

STORM SEASON When the siren sounded full time in the NRL grand final on Sunday night it was reward for a team that handled the rigours of 2020 possibly better than most despite being away from their home base for more than five months.

In accepting the premiership trophy Melbourne Storm captain Cameron Smith acknowledged the NZ Warriors for their contribution to the season and rightly so but also gave a big nod to a group of very unsung heroes.

In Storm speak they call them the “Renegades”.

The blokes who did not get a game this season but who have been with the players every step of the way and it has been quite the journey.

While there were many questions raised before the final around age vs experience, Melbourne led by Smith put on a GF master class in the first half.

Many people tried to make the game all about Cameron Smith (and he was the conductor of the Storm orchestra) but there were plenty of other class performers.

There are Panthers who will have ongoing nightmares in which the flying Fijian Suliasi Vunivalu plays a leading role along with Ryan Papenhuyzen. Others might have woken with the imprint of one or two of the Bromwich brothers, Christian Welsh , Brandon Smith or even that fox terrier like Cameron Munster somewhere on their being.

Getting a reaction post game from Cameron Smith about his future was like extracting blood from a stone.

Across the board there was not a player who did not know his job or execute it well. At least until late in the second half when things became a little ragged causing Smith to lose his cool with his players and the coach to all but implode.

Penrith lost no fans with their second half comeback.

If, as the saying goes, you have to lose one to win one, then beware the wounded Panthers because they were a shattered group.

Whether or not you are a fan of the Storm, Bellamy and Smith you have to acknowledge their remarkable performance as a unit.

As many players go their own way now, this group clearly has a unique and unbreakable bond.

Never was that more evident than when footage was revealed of the group in a tight circle in the centre of ANZ in the wee hours of Monday morning singing a Fijian hymn to farewell Vunivalu who is heading to rugby union in 2021.

Much as the media tried to make it all about Cameron Smith it was far more.

If it was Smith’s swansong then he leaves on the highest note. A fitting farewell for a man recognised as a defining player of his generation. Perhaps we will not fully appreciate his contribution to the game until he hangs up those boots.

AND ON TO ORIGIN If you enjoyed the past few weeks of rugby league then strap yourself in because we are going to do it all over again with Origin.

On paper the Blue’s have the upper hand but fortunately the game is not decided on paper, past performances or reputation.

So off to Adelaide we go. Why I am unsure, but the Maroons will take the opportunity to beat the Blues anywhere.

While the team may not be the most experienced to pull on a Maroon jersey there is no doubting the credentials of the coaching group which includes Wayne Bennett, Neil Hendry, Mal Meninga and Billy Slater. Not a bad line up.

The squad looks like this:- Corey Allan (Rabbitohs); Jai Arrow (Titans); AJ Brimson (Titans) Kurt Capewell (Panthers); Patrick Carrigan (Broncos); Daly Cherry-Evans (Sea Eagles); Xavier Coates (Broncos); Lindsay Collins (Roosters); Tino Fa’asuamaleaui (Storm); Moeaki Fotuaika (Titans); Jake Friend (Roosters); Dane Gagai (Rabbitohs); Harry Grant (Tigers/ Storm); Coen Hess (Cowboys); Valentine Holmes (Cowboys); Hymel Hunt (Knights); Ben Hunt (Dragons);Felise Kaufusi (Storm); Josh Kerr (Dragons); Brenko Lee (Storm); Edrick Lee (Knights); Dunamis Lui ( Raiders); Cameron Munster (Storm); Josh Papalii (Raiders); Phillip Sami (Titans); Jaydn Su’A (Rabbitohs); Christian Welch (Storm).

The Spin From previous page I am particularly looking forward to the debut of youngster Tino Fa’asuamaleaui. The 20 year old man mountain played his early football for the Gympie Devils and was signed as a teenager by the Broncos. He has an illustrious career in the junior representative ranks and debuted last season for Melbourne. He also made his international debut for Samoa last year. Tino is a prestigious talent and made his presence felt coming off the bench for Melbourne in the GF. He’s sure to be a great addition to the Maroons. This group has a mix of youth and experience. It’s the ideal mix that coaching crew love to get their teeth into.

Look out Cockroaches the Cane Toads are coming for you.

AFTER ALL THE ROAD BLOCKS A SUCCESSFUL CARNIVAL Several months ago, at the height of the Covid-19 restrictions, the prospect of the Stanthorpe Golf Club holding the 2020 Stanthorpe Golf Open was a doubtful at best. With many of the roadblocks removed and the hard work of the committee and club members, last weekend the club hosted 160 players and celebrated a very successful Carnival.

Local members were joined by players from 18 clubs who teed off over the two days of the carnival.

It was a great weekend of golf and given that the sport and the club is still operating under restrictive and demanding protocols it was a great outcome and organisers could not have been more thrilled with the result.

The skies looked threatening and the weather forecast ominous as the big field teed off on Saturday in the 4BBB Stableford.

Although some of the playing group had to deal with some heavy showers that sent some players scurrying for the shelter of the clubhouse (unsure what the damp stuff falling from the sky was, it has been so long since they’ve seen rain) the majority persisted and were rewarded with better conditions for the remainder of the afternoon.

The winners of the medley event were two of the visiting contingent. Wil Lathrope of Blackwater teamed with Errol Thompson from the Calliope Golf Club to score total of 45 points. Barry Jones and Matt Burgess flying the Stanthorpe flag were two points back and claimed the runner’s up position. The mixed pairings were won by Stanthorpe’s Neta Thouard and James Haining from Kooralbyn Valley Golf Club. The pair scoring 43 points.

On Sunday, the course was a little damp after the rain the previous day and overnight.

The greens were playing a little slow and some of the visiting contingent found the conditions a little tricky.

Matt Waterworth put his local knowledge to good use scoring 73 for the round. Waterworth scored fairly on the front nine. His back nine included four birdies as he stormed home with 33 to claim the overall win.

The Best nett score was returned by another player with plenty of local experience. Rob Reeves returned the best nett score of 69 after he recorded 81 for the round.

Major grade prizes went to James Haining with 74 (A grade), Keith Jones with 83 ( B grade) and Wil Lathrope with 93 (C grade).

Nikki Waterworth (not to be outplayed by Matt) made it a family affair claiming the Ladies Stableford with a score of 34 points. Keeping it local, Racheal Hendry scored the runner’s up prize.

The Grade winners for the ladies were:- Division One Janet Kuhle (Gatton G.C.) 31 points; Division Two winner with 31 points was Jennifer Sparkes and in Division three Fiona Kelly with 30 points.

The club is extremely grateful to not only the big field of golfers but also to the sponsors for their support of the two-day event. Thanks to their generosity, prizes were awarded to runners up and run down scores for all grades and divisions.

Maddies Gift Gallery of Stanthorpe has been a major sponsor of local golf and this carnival for many years as has City Golf Club and Tenterfield Golf Club. Sponsorship and support was also received from Sutton’s Juice Factory, St Joseph’ school and Amadio Wines.

30 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES Thursday, 29 October, 2020

No late bloomers among this winning group. L/R Michael Sweeney, Rob Capelli, Tyler Sweeney and Brian Wilmot took out the Apple Blossom Fours during the Apple Blossom Bowls Carnival at the Summit Bowls Club last weekend.

The club also wishes to thank the local members who provided donations.

Many also gave their time to run the carnival, assist in preparing the course and handling the bar and catering facility.

Special thanks to greenkeeper, Bill Pyne, and his helpers for presenting the course in such great shape.

The combined efforts of the members contributed in no small way to the success of the weekend.

So after a big weekend it is back to normal golf this Saturday when the club has scheduled the end of month medley four ball. An Irish medley Stableford this month. Tee off time for the afternoon session is 11.45am and players are asked to register at least 20 minutes prior to the tee off time to B Sponsor for the day is club stalwart, Max Hunter. Many people will be aware, Max was involved in a car accident a few weeks ago and spent some time in hospital. He is now home recuperating and everyone wishes him a speedy and successful recovery that will see him back on the course in top form.

There was no Sporters Golf played last Sunday due to the second day of the Open Carnival but the Sporters crew will be back in force this weekend with tee off at the normal time of 7.30am.

SO CLOSE Stanthorpe United had one hand on the Toowoomba Premier League minor premiership trophy on Sunday afternoon and were reaching out with their other hand to grab the Presidents Cup. In the end they dropped both trophies.

With only seven minutes remaining in the match, Stanthorpe United were holding Willowburn two-all and looking certain to force a draw. It was a result which would have seen the Redbacks crowned minor Premiers and a penalty shoot out would have taken place to decide the President cup winners.

Unfortunately, their dreams were shattered late in game as they pushed forward to score a winning goal. The experienced WIllowburn outfit took full advantage waiting patiently for their opportunity to strike.

The Redbacks continued to push forward in search of the winning goal but were caught short at the back after losing position in midfield. The Willowburn forwards were clinical with their finish giving United’s keeper Carnell no chance.

Late in the game ill-discipline from Brad Thompson again saw him sent to the sin bin.

It had a demoralising effect on the morale of the team, but his teammates fought valiantly without him with seconds on the clock went close to scoring, but to no avail

For the neutral football supporters who did not have a vested interest in the result the game was a classic encounter. WIllowburn scored in the first few minutes, however Ace McDonald equalised after a great cross from Simon Mascardi. At half time it was one-all but not before the heavens had opened up and drenched the players and field for 15 minutes.

In the second half Willowburn scored from a free kick just outside the box. Again, United equalised through a Hunter Murphy header from a corner. The game had everything and was end-to-end excitement.

Hunter Murphy and Jared Hitchener worked very hard and were the standouts in the midfield, while Josh Crestani’s return was full of merit.

Jordie Lanza an Aiden Halford also defended strongly and were also close to the best on the park.

These two teams meet again this Sunday in Gatton at 3pm in the major semi-final clash and everyone is looking forward to another classic encounter.

Stanthorpe United successfully introduced live streaming of the game for the many supporters following United’s progress but were unable to make the trip to Toowoomba..

Anyone who wishes to watch the game live this weekend it will also be live streamed.

Simply visit the Stanthorpe United Redback’s Facebook page on game day and connect to the link.

(Correction - in last week’s edition of Spin it was incorrectly reported that the Gatton Redbacks had withdrawn from the competition - it was quite a surprise to everyone including Gatton. It was in fact South Toowoomba Hawks).

Also to correct another piece of ‘fake news’ the United Redbacks had prior to last weekend only met Willowburn on one previous occasion - (clearly too many Redback teams in this spider web)

CARNIVAL BLOOMS DESPITE RAIN Although the Southern Downs is desperate for rain, the organisers of the Summit Bowls Club Apple Blossom Carnival were disappointed when forced to abandon the Pairs comepitition on Saturday because of the wet conditions.

On Sunday despite early morning showers threatening to derail the remainder of the Carnival the Apple Blossom Fours began on time.

The weather gods were kind. The rain held off and it turned out to be a great day featuring some very close games and a number of draws.

The winning team, a keen group of Summit bowlers(Brian Wilmot, Michael Sweeney, Rob Capelli and Tyler Sweeney) was the only team to win all three of their games. In second place another home team - Rod Newlands, Rocky Thompson, Paul Zamprogno and Alex Mat-

tiazzi from The Summit. Taking home third place was the team of Peter Ayerst (The Summit), Michael O’Leary (Tannymorel), Frank Taylor (The Summit) and Eliseo Zamprogno (The Summit). The success of the Carnival was due to the efforts of many hard working club members. Tina and Tony Schubert are to be congratulated for efforts in obtaining sponsorship for the multi draw raffles.

Frank Taylor, Graeme Warner and Peter Ayerst once made sure the greens were turned out in tip top order and played well.

Mary Zanatta, Valda Newlands, Meg McGlashan, Carol Capelli, Anna Spiller, Sandra Watkins, Gai Wilmot and Sylean Fairley looked after everyone with great meals and sandwiches. John Graham, Jamie Zamprogno and Pam Moore had the gardens and surrounds looking great and Michael Surch ensured the bar operated smoothly on Sunday.

Paul Zamprogno and Brian Brown donated prize money towards the carnival. The club wished to acknowledge and thank the many local business houses that supported the carnival and will be individually acknowledged by the Club.

Attention now turns to the Men’s Pairs and the draw has been finalised. The following teams will be required at 8.30am. Ray Spiller and Brian Wilmot play Brian Brown and Rob Capelli. Terry Keegan and Paul Zamprogno play Phil Davis and Graeme Warner.

John Fairley and Michael Sweeney play John Cook and Jamie Zamprogno. The following teams have byes and will be required after lunch Rocky Thompson and Lindsay Hartley; John Graham and Rod Newlands; Cliff Jones and Tyler Sweeney; Carl Sutherland and Peter Ayerst; Keith Mungall and Tony Schubert.

A reminder that the Annual General Meeting of the club will be held on Saturday November 14 at 10am. There will be vacancies on the Board and Nomination forms are on the club Notice Board.

Only a small field of Ladies teed off on Wednesday in the Stanthorpe RSL Ladies Individual Stableford competition.

The recent form of Lorraine Evans has been excellent. She has been playing skilful and consistent golf. It has resulted in a reduction in her handicap in recent weeks. She is certainly one of the Ladies to watch at the moment.

Kay Webb was just one point behind the winner finishing her round with a score of 32 points to claim the runner’s up spot. Mei Bell won the run down with 31 points.

PLAYING IN THE RAIN On Wednesday (21 Oct) there were wet souls were out on the Warwick Golf Course but there were very few complaints as everyone revelled in that wet stuff.

12 ladies completed their rounds in the mid-week Monthly Medal sponsored by the Warwick RSL Memorial Club who have come back on board with sponsorship. It is greatly appreciated by the club and players.

Taking pole position in Division one was Gwen Mills with a great score of 71 nett. She and her playing group finished the round drenched after playing the last four holes in the pouring rain Melanie McLennan (77 nett) finished runner up in Division One. She and her playing partners were also played the last few holes in the rain. Such unfamiliar conditions to play in these days, but lovely to see.

Diane Macdonald certainly found her game in the round coming in with a fantastic 68 nett in Division Two and showing she has a liking for the wet track. Runner-up in this division was Lyn Gibson, who also had a great day returning a fine 73 nett. The putting for Division One was won by Gwen Mills. Patti Hemmings successful in Division Two. Both ladies had 29 putts.

Balls in the rundown were reduced to four due to the smaller competitor numbers and went the way of Judy Stiff (74), Sharron Cooper (75), Patti Hemmings (76) and Ann Tomkins (77). The other 2 ladies who finished the game were Joan Burt (79) and Tub Ingall (83).

On Saturday, eight ladies braved the even damper conditions. Showing plenty of spirit Jilly Barnes, Mel McLennan, Michelle Wright, Gwen Mills, Anna Cox, Sam Hinze, Judy Lester and Margie Adcock headed out onto the course for Semi Final of the JD Rowland Foursomes knowing the radar showed rain was on the way.

For once the bureau got it right. The heavens opened up and drenched our semi-finalists.no one complaining as the rain we have all been waiting for tumbled down.

Jilly Barnes and Mel McLennan defeated Gwen Mills and Michelle Wright 6/4 and in a very close match Anna Cox Sam Hinze has a 3/2 win against Judy Lester and Margie Adcock.

On Sunday the semi-final winners, Anna Cox and Sam Hinze played Jilly Barnes and Mel

Mel McLennan & Jill Barnes were close runners up in the final round of the JD Rowland Foursomes. They are pictured put on the course on Sunday enjoying better conditions than players faced during Saturday’s semi-finals McLennan in the final of the JD Rowland Foursome Championship.

The weather was kinder, the conditions much more pleasant. There was some great golf played.

Sam and Anna claimed a 5/4 after being all square at the turn. Thankfully the rain held off until after the presentations on the deck.

Thanks to Ian and Janine Stewart for providing this trophy for the last several years. .

A number of ladies played in Monday’s ProAm which was organised by the club’s trainee golf pros Stephen Klease and Connor Cruice.

The pair worked hard to organise the event and should be proud of the success of the day.

SMALL FIELD; GOOD FINISHES A reduced field of 29 contested Saturday’s Single Stableford v Par event at the Warwick Golf Club.

The winner, Reid had an excellent round finishing with a plus-five 5 score. You could be forgiven for believing that would have been a comfortable score however it was just enough to get the chocolates ahead of runner up, Ted King with a score of plus four as did Mitchell McLennan and Michael Banks. King surviving a countback to claim the runner’s up spoils.

Visiting golfer John Kemp from Gainsborough Greens was the only other player to get a ball in the run down. He returned a score of plus two after being plus four at the turn.

The NTP shots went to Rhys Farrell on the fifth, Sean Haynes (7th), Matty Greg (9th), Garry Adcock (11th) and Shane Reid (16th).

The Pro Pin balls went to Rhys Farrell who collected four balls on the 13th. Ted King collected and Kris McLennan the only other ball in that competition.

Club Captain Tony Kahler has announced that the Condamine Shootout cut off day is Saturday 14 November so time is running out to make sure that you make the shootout.

The National Australia Bank Mercantile Four Person Ambrose has been scheduled for Sunday November 8. This is traditionally a very popular event and no doubt 2020 will be no exception. The event will begin at noon with a shotgun.

The “B” grade Matchplay final has been completed with Gary Russell-Sharam prevail-

ing over Slim Eldridge in a tight match. Congratulations go to Gary on a very good win. He defeated Garry Adcock on the 18th in the semi final before going on to win the hotly contested final 2 and 1.

The final of the “A” grade Matchplay will be played this weekend when Rhys Farrell and Kris McLennan go head to head. IN the C Grade final (also on this weekend) Wayne Wells and Darrell Bain will be vying for honours.

WEATHER KEEPS BOWLERS QUIET It has been pretty quiet on the Warwick greens over the past week due to the most welcome rain.

While the rain hindered scheduled games everyone has their fingers crossed that it (rain) keeps coming.

The Semi final of the Club Fours is still to be decided and will now be played this Saturday (31 October).

The Monthly Triples are scheduled for Tuesday, 3 November and will be followed the next day by Friendly Bowls the next day (Wed, 4 November).

The Final of the Club Fours is to be played on Saturday 7 November and Jackpot Bowls on Wednesday 11 November. A full schedule in the coming weeks.

The club welcomes visiting bowlers on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Get your name in to the club names in at the Club or phone on 46611516 ready for a 1pm start.

CRICKET SEASON You can just about put your money on it - the best way to conger up some rain on the Southern Downs is to start the cricket season.

Of course it doesn’t seem to matter if that season starts in late September or mid October still the rain it comes.

At the weekend in Stanthorpe the round two fixtures were rain affected.

Early in the week RSL vs Wanderers was game was rescheduled and will be played this Friday night on the CF White Oval with play commencing at 5.30pm.

It was a disappointing start to the season for Tenterfield who were to host South’s at Shirley Oval. Due to the heavy rain experienced in Tenterfield over night on Friday night and rain again Saturday morning the game was declared a washout and the teams will share the points.

The clubs are hoping for better weather this weekend when they take to the field.

On Saturday at Sheehan Oval, Valleys meet Tenterfield who are keen to finally get their season started. On the CF White Oval it will be RSL and South’s doing battle.

Weather also played havoc with the Warwick Association fixtures - all games at the weekend were cancelled.
