Talks over Big Apple Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) has voted to endorse community consultation and investigation into the potential relocation of the Big Apple, without first notifying the owner of the land it is currently situated on.

Two Granite Belt businesses have requested the Big Apple be moved to their individual properties - both of which are located on the New England Highway.

Owner of Vincenzo’s Jason Mattiazzi said his family paid for the Big Apple to be relocated to their property in the early 2000s, and SDRC’s failure to communicate their plans has been “very unprofessional”.

Buskers return to Stanthorpe

Estate plans Plans for Stanthorpe’s first “age-friendly” gated security estate have expanded to accommodate over-50s, young families and people who require low to high level care.

Arcadia Developments National Sales Manager Dianne Fielding said plans are underway for residential aged care facilities to be built on the land adjoining Arcadia Estate.

The facilities will be accessible from both the Estate and from Pitt Street, giving people the option to live next door to loved ones who require higher levels of care or to visit from the wider community.

“We believe there is a great need for youth care in Stanthorpe,” said Dianne.

Plaza fears grow

By Jess Baker For years, the Stanthorpe Plaza has drawn complaints of declining conditions, from potholes in the carpark to cockroaches on the floors.

But with plans for refurbishment of the

centre finally underway, shop owner tenants fear their rents will be increased to “Brisbane prices” they cannot afford.

Owner of SLAPS Coffee House Cafe and extenant at the Plaza Phil Politch said high rent has pushed a number of shop owners out of the Plaza, including himself and wife Lyn.

With the worldwide downturn in travel keeping us close to home in 2020, there was no better place to be than your own backyard during the annual Aussie Backyard Bird Count and Southern Downs residents were lucky enough to have a diverse and colourful range of native birds to report on.

BirdLife Australia has been hard at work compiling the results from the count conducted between 19 - 25 October 2020, which are now in. The first ever Aussie Backyard Bird Count was conducted in 2014 as part of BirdLife Australia’s National Bird Week celebrations and has grown to one of the largest citizen science projects in Australia. The data collected plays a vital role in providing important information to conservationists about threatened bird species, highlights the cultural and ecological importance of birds and promotes our national passion for our native species.

Over 195 citizen scientists from the Southern Downs participated in the 2020 count which saw the Little Corella crow victory as the most sighted bird across the region. A total of 397 checklists where submitted and observers recorded a total of 12,567 individual birds from 179 bird species.

SDRC Manager Environmental and Regulatory Services, Craig Magnussen said: “The Southern Downs region is an extraordinary birdwatching destination and programs like Birds in Backyards encourages residents to learn about the region’s native species from their own back yard. “Changes in gardening practices and weather events such as drought impact on habitat and migratory habits of many native species and the results from the annual bird count can help BirdLife Australia formulate subsequent management decisions.

“Council is currently inviting community feedback on the draft Environmental Sustainability Strategy for the Southern Downs of which ‘Protecting nature’ forms one of the

four core pillars. Council’s draft 10-year target is to map, zone and protect 100% of sensitive environmental lands across the region and with 15 bird species on the Southern Downs currently listed as threatened in the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) this body of work will go a long way in protecting habitat for native bird species.”

BirdLife Australia is a charitable organisation working alongside councils and corporate organisations to conserve native birds and biological diversity in Australasia and Antarctica through the study and management of birds and their habitats and the education and involvement of the community.

The 2021 Aussie Backyard Bird Count is eagerly anticipated and will run from October 18-24 - make sure you save the date ...

I caught up this week with the Southern Cross Bowls Club in Warwick as they celebrated the completion of an electrical upgrade to their clubhouse worth just under $6000 - and funded through one of the many government ‘drought relief’ grants programs which have been available in recent times.

These programs are all very worthy and I would strongly encourage local community and sporting groups to apply for any and all which are on offer throughout the year. There are various criteria which must be met, and usually the completion of the required paperwork becomes the task of one of the volunteers, who as we know are the backbone of our community.

As a news publication we’re always more than happy to get along to the unveiling of these kinds of projects whenever we can - and indeed, inviting the media to such a ceremony is always a condition of a community group being successful in receiving a grant. In other words, whichever level of government has provided the funding must receive the appropriate kudos, complete with a banner or sign-board to reinforce the message of the generosity and beneficence. Interestingly it’s never a ‘big cheque’ handover - government is far more subtle than that.

I likewise have no huge problem with acknowledging the source of the funds - and fitting in a photograph of our local pollies in attendance if space permits - but I must admit the thought always occurs to me that isn’t it just our own tax dollars coming back to us, in one form or another? I mean, seriously, it’s not “generosity”, is it? It’s money that at some stage you or I have “donated” to the government through a wide variety of complex taxation measures, including council rates, which the government is in turn “donating” back to the community. And insisting on public acknowledgement as a condition of doing so. I mean, should we send a “thank you” note and a bunch of flowers to the ATO - and hold a family morning tea when we receive a tax refund?

And on the grants programs, need I also mention all the “criteria” to be fulfilled and the voluminous paperwork.

All part of the machinery and inner workings of government, as Sir Humphrey might say.

But in any case - if there’s a program available, local groups should take full advantage. Get your community group’s hands on it, and quickly, before they spend it on something else, of perhaps more questionable necessity.

Displacement fears grow

By Jess Baker Rumours of renovations at the Stanthorpe Plaza had been circulating for years before they were finally confirmed in November 2020, but shop owner tenants say they are still “completely in the dark” about the fate of their businesses.

Many fear they will be displaced by the renovations and increased rents, while others claim they have been told outright they will have to leave the Plaza indefinitely.

One tenant who asked to remain anonymous said that no official notice to leave has been issued by the Plaza owner as yet, but tenants have been told to stay alert.

“We were told by the person coordinating the renovations in November (2020) that we’d be asked to leave at the end of January (2021),” said the tenant.

“None of us have leases… we’re all on month-to-month agreements so we can be told to leave with 30 days’ notice.”

Despite concerns about timelines and rent increases, shop owners at the Plaza said they agree with the rest of the Stanthorpe community that renovations are well overdue.

One previous tenant, who moved just before renovations were announced in November, said deteriorating conditions and high rent pushed them out of the shopping centre after more than a decade of tenancy.

“Our shop was pretty good because we looked after it, but the Plaza as a whole was awful,” said the ex-tenant who asked to remain anonymous.

“It became a swimming pool when it rained, there were cockroaches everywhere, holes in the roof, and the carpark was terrible.

“We got out before shops were told there would be renovations and rent increases.”

The ex-tenant said they understand tenants will soon be required to vacate the Plaza for renovations that could take 10 months to complete, at which time rents will be increased to amounts “similar to that of Brisbane”.

Owners of much-loved SLAPS Coffee House Cafe Phil and Lyn Politch had been tenants at the Plaza for 12 years, but moved to Main Street last month after being made aware of the financial implications renovations would

Lyn Politch of SLAPS Coffee House Cafe, now located on Main Street. have on their business.

Phil said he and Lyn were told they would have to pay “much, much higher rent” to stay at the Plaza and they would have to commit to the increased rent before renovations were completed.

“But they couldn’t tell us how long renova-

tions would take… it could have been six to eight months,” said Phil.

“There’s no one up there (at the Plaza) now, all the businesses that were there have left because they couldn’t pay the increased rent.

“Had the rent been respectable, we would have stayed.”

“Whilst specialist contractors were engaged for the design and construction of the reservoir, council’s construction crew contributed to the project by building the connecting pipework for the new reservoir to the existing water main.

“The residents of Dalveen may experience some taste difference with the water due to the reservoir being newly constructed from concrete.

“The first 100KL of water was carted from Warwick to Dalveen for the first reservoir fill and extensive water quality tests have been carried out to ensure regulatory requirements have been met.

“The project received $300,000 in funding under the 2019-21 W4Q program, an initiative of the Queensland Government.”

Thankfully, Phil said the move turned out to be a blessing in disguise and SLAPS is now busier than ever.

The cafe is averaging an extra 100 transactions per day at its new location and virtually every regular customer who used to visit Phil and Lyn at the Plaza has followed them to Main Street.

“We went through 10 kilograms of bacon in two hours the other day,” said Phil.

“We’re struggling to keep up with the new demand and I’m working six days a week, starting at 5.00am and getting home at 7.00pm.”

Phil said there were several factors that influenced he and Lyn’s decision to move SLAPS to Stanthorpe’s Main Street as well as increased rent, including proximity to motels and the new K-hub in town.

Both tenants and ex-tenants at the Plaza have said they are bound by confidentiality agreements and cannot share specifics about proposed rent increases, but they all seem certain they are coming.

Mark Long of Allure Retail, the retail leasing business handling the renovations, said there is “a lot of misinformation going around” about existing and future tenancies at the centre but it “is possible” rents may increase.

“We’re planning for refurbishment in the centre that will involve some changes,” said Mark.

“We have a confidentiality agreement with each tenant… but we haven’t asked anyone to leave at this point and no rents have been increased.”

He said it is each tenant’s responsibility to ask questions or share concerns about their shop or their rent, but he cannot confirm what the impact of the renovations will be until he himself knows the final details.

“All the tenants were personally spoken to in November and were told there would be renovations,” he said.

“Once we have confirmed the details, we will share them with the shop owners.”

Mark said the specifics of the renovations will come to light in a few weeks’ time, but they will aim to “improve the retail offer and shopping experience in Stanthorpe”.

IN BRIEF New reservoir The Southern Downs Regional Council says a newly-constructed 150-kilolitre concrete reservoir at Dalveen was brought online last week, supplying water to the Dalveen water distribution system.

“These completed works will improve and future-proof water supply reliability for the Dalveen community,” a council spokeswoman said.

“The project commenced in November 2020 and has been completed well ahead of the original April 2021 expected completion date.

Attempted murder charge heard A 21-year-old Stanthorpe man has been charged with attempted murder following an incident at Wallangarra in the early hours of last Sunday morning that saw two men sustain serious chest and back wounds.

Taufoou Lamipeti has been charged with one count each of attempted murder, acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm and common assault.

He is in custody and was refused bail when

the charges were mentioned in the Warwick Magistrates Court on Monday of this week.

Police allege the two victims, a 21-year-old man and a 30-year-old man, were at a Wallangarra Road address when an altercation took place around 3am last Sunday 28 February.

“It will be alleged that during the altercation the offender has used an instrument to wound the two men,” police said in a statement.

“The two victims then returned to an Alice Street residence before emergency services were called.”

Both of the injured men remained in a serious but stable condition in the Princess Alexandra Hospital at time of printing this week.

Arcadia plans extended

By Jess Baker Plans for Stanthorpe’s first “age-friendly” gated community, Arcadia Estate, have expanded to accommodate over-50s, young families, and people who require low to high level care, dementia care and young and disabled care.

While originally advertised as an over-50s lifestyle resort, Arcadia Developments National Sales Manager Dianne Fielding said the new Arcadia will be a place for people of all ages and backgrounds to live in a safe, secure and inclusive environment.

“We wanted to ensure age groups weren’t discounted,” she said.

“We also took into account the density of the land and increased the size of every block – our blocks were 314 square metres in size but they now range from 400 square metres to 550 square metres.”

Facilities at the Torrisi Terrace site will include a heated lap pool, a yoga room, a gymnasium, a function room, a coffee shop, a golf putting green and a children’s playground, but perhaps the most interesting and exciting component of the project is not what is within the Estate, but adjoining.

“Neighbouring Arcadia Estate will be an aged care facility encompassing low to medium care, high level care and dementia care,” said Dianne.

“We will also have a separate building dedicated solely to youth care.”

Dianne said the Arcadia Developments Group understands there is a great need for age-appropriate disability housing in Stanthorpe, specifically for young people with high physical care needs.

All adjoining facilities will be accessible from both the Estate and from Pitt Street, giving people the option to live next door to loved

ones who require higher levels of care or to visit from the wider community.

Within the Estate, Arcadia plans to build 103 house blocks across two areas, Lavender Lane and Arcadia Circuit, for people with varying needs.

“Lavender Lane will be a quieter area with smaller homes dedicated to over-50s,” said Dianne.

“While Arcadia Circuit will include larger

house lots designed for young families and those wanting to live in more spacious homes.”

Dianne said “stage one” of the project will be developing the “age-friendly” Arcadia Estate, “stage two” will be providing home care services, and “stage three” will be developing and operating low to medium care, high care, dementia care, and young and disabled care facilities.

Plans for Arcadia have been in the works for a number of years, but these new developments could be the most radical yet.

A Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) spokesperson said no applications have been submitted to SDRC to make any changes to the development. The only Arcadia Developments application received and approved by Council to date was for a 90-dwelling retirement facility.

Nevertheless, Dianne said Arcadia hopes to have seven display homes built by November 2021 and house blocks available for purchase in the next few months.

The group will unveil their plans to the public in two weeks’ time, at Information Days held 19 March and 20 March at the Stanthorpe Civic Centre.

“The sessions will essentially be discussions, we’ll be telling people what our plans are and we’ll be taking feedback on board,” said Dianne.

Talks over Big Apple

By Jess Baker Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) will soon begin community consultation on plans to relocate one of the Granite Belt’s most iconic landmarks, the Big Apple.

Councillors unanimously voted to endorse public consultation and investigation into the potential relocation and refurbishment of the structure at last week’s ordinary meeting held 24 February, following requests from two Granite Belt businesses.

The decision comes as a shock to many members of the region, but perhaps to none more so than Vincenzo’s owner Jason Mattiazzi.

Jason said he and his family paid a total of approximately $20,000 for the Big Apple to be relocated to their property in the early 2000s under the premise Vincenzo’s would be its “forever home”.

“The Stanthorpe Shire Council told us back then, ‘if you want (the Big Apple), pay for the reinstallation’,” said Jason.

“I was actually the one who tightened the bolts on that post.”

Despite the promise of permanence by a previous council, Jason said the Mattiazzis have not been involved in any discussions with SDRC related to the potential relocation of the Big Apple.

“We think it’s very unprofessional that no one from Council has notified us of their

plans,” he said.

“Shifting (the Big Apple) shouldn’t even be on the agenda.”

At this stage, two Granite Belt businesses have requested the Big Apple be moved to their individual properties – both of which are located on the New England Highway.

One of the businesses, located at Thulimbah, said in its request to Council that it would not be funding the costs of relocating, maintenance, engineering and insurance for the Big Apple and would instead seek assistance from Council to manage and support the relocation.

The other business, located between The Summit and Applethorpe, said it would refurbish the Big Apple at its own cost and would not require funding from Council.

Jason Mattiazzi of Vincenzo’s said he strongly objects to the proposed relocation of the Big Apple, calling discussions “a complete waste of time”.

“How do you think ratepayers are going to take to the idea they’ll have to help pay for the Big Apple to be moved across the road?” he asked.

“Council needs to think about the back pockets of the rate paying people, not just the back pockets of the applicant businesses.”

Jason said there are a number of reasons the structure should remain at its current site, including the fact it is a known tourist attraction and landmark.

The Granite Belt’s iconic Big Apple could soon be on the move, with SDRC voting to begin public consultation.

“And it’s on all the maps… so there are all these added costs of relocation that have to be considered,” he said.

Jason said it is also important to remember the Big Apple does not just represent Stanthorpe, it represents all of the apple growers in the region and it should therefore be located where the apple farms are.

Councillor Stephen Tancred voiced similar concerns in last week’s ordinary meeting,

referring to the structure’s established prominence in the region.

“The Big Apple is part of Stanthorpe’s DNA,” said Cr Tancred.

“If we can’t keep a lot of people happy, to keep it where it is is probably a good thing… especially because it’s already on a lot of maps and websites that tourist operators have put out for people to navigate their way around the region.”

Water ‘top priority’: SDRC The Southern Downs Regional Council says water security “remains a top priority” as it continues to “explore all avenues to secure the supply of drinking water to its residents and businesses”.

“Discussions are ongoing with key stakeholders from the State Government, other local government authorities, the community and businesses to undertake actions that will ensure that drinking water remains available,” a spokeswoman said this week.

“The Southern Downs Water Contingency Plan available on Council’s website is updated monthly and contains short, medium and long term actions Council is taking to ensure water security for the region.

“Examples of actions undertaken include undertaking hydraulic modelling to prepare water network models for Warwick, Stanthorpe and other supply schemes; the design of a

treatment plant at Allora and pipeline reversal to supply water from Allora to Warwick, which has been completed and is shovel ready for future use; and the provision of clear water saving actions for residents and businesses across the region.

“Improving the quality and increasing the production of recycled water to expand the distribution network for industrial and farming purposes remains a long term goal, as does investigating the option and cost to source a connection into the South East Queensland Grid.”

Mayor Vic Pennisi said “although the region has received some welcome rains, the drought has not broken yet and residents are reminded that extreme level water restrictions of 120 litres per person per day are still in place across the region for users accessing drinking water supplies”.

“Outdoor water use remains prohibited,

which includes the use of town water supplies for the establishment of new turf,” Cr Pennisi said.

“Dam levels remain a concern with the current volume in Storm King Dam at 21.8%, Leslie Dam at 11.4% and Connolly Dam at 76.1%.

Water remains in Storm King Dam as a contingency for emergency events and to provide a habitat for aquatic life.

“Based on current usage, Storm King Dam would reach its minimum operating level in 4 months if water for Stanthorpe was being sourced from the dam.

“Connolly Dam’s current water level has decreased by 41 ML in the past fortnight, but dependent on water quality the dam will be able to supply water to Stanthorpe for 25 months.

“With an average of 565 trucks loads of water carted to Stanthorpe per fortnight, residents are reminded that it is important to

continue to conserve water and that the community remains vigilant in their water use to ensure the minimal amount of water is carted and the transportation costs are kept down.

“Council continues to work with community members to ensure events can proceed with minimal water consumption, and whenever possible, water is to be sourced from an alternative supply.

“Whilst water restrictions have been lifted for businesses, Council urges all businesses to be water aware and to continue water saving practices.

“Be Waterwise stickers are available for businesses located within the Southern Downs.

“These stickers are free of charge and can be collected from Council Administration Buildings for use in showers, toilets and near hand washing basins.”

SDRC ‘splashes’ on Morgan Park event water supply

By Jess Baker After initially denying a request for watering of the Warwick Polocrosse Club grounds at Morgan Park “due to current water restrictions”, Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) has now agreed to supply the club with five megalitres (ML) of raw water.

The Polocrosse Club told Council officers the use of raw water from Connolly Dam would be required to prepare the grounds for an upcoming event to be held in April 2021.

Councillors discussed the request at last week’s ordinary meeting held 24 February, with councillors Marco Gliori, Cameron Gow, Cynthia McDonald, Jo McNally, Vic Pennisi and Sheryl Windle ultimately voting for Council to supply the water and councillors Ross Bartley, Andrew Gale and Stephen Tancred voting against.

Cr Gale issued a passionate plea to fellow councillors before the decision was put to a vote, asking them to consider prioritising the provision of recycled water instead of raw water.

“I cannot in the current dire circumstances that we find ourselves in, in good conscience, vote to allow the use of any water that is capable of being treated to a drinking standard to be utilised for the watering of grass,” he said.

“In fact, I would like to see us eventually have a policy where we only allow recycled water to be used for watering of grass.”

Cr Gale said he is “gravely concerned” for the residents of the region, particularly those in the Granite Belt.

“I hope it doesn’t come to it, but I fast forward to another year down the track and if we’ve had no inflows into our dams I guar-

antee none of us will be sleeping very well,” he said.

“I certainly know I won’t be sleeping very well, but if I vote against this at least I know I won’t be battling my conscience at the same time.

“We do need to prioritise connecting the recycled network to this facility in future subject to funding, but in the absence of that, I suggest that the Polocrosse club either find another way or do what the rest of us are doing… pray for rain.”

Cr Tancred echoed Cr Gale’s sentiments and said there were other more appropriate options available to the Polocrosse Club, including carting water from outside of Warwick.

“Imagine if we were deliberating using precious Storm King Dam water for watering ovals… it’d be a stark contrast to the decision we’re making today.”

“I don’t think we should be splashing water around on grass just in Warwick because people in Wallangarra and Killarney and certainly in Stanthorpe would question our use of this precious water,” he said.

The proposed event the Warwick Polocrosse Club requested the water for is the Barastoc Interstate Series, with teams from Queensland, Western Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia competing.

The series will be held in conjunction with the Shell Cup Club Competition and will attract a total of 90 to 105 teams.

Councillors Gow, Gliori and Pennisi said the three-day event would provide a significant economic boost to the local economy and to Warwick’s struggling tourism sector and voted for Council to supply the water along with Crs McDonald, Windle and McNally.

By Jess Baker Two Stanthorpe apple growers have filed a lawsuit against leading Australian agribusiness Elders Rural Service, claiming the company provided advice and product that caused more than $600,000 in damages to their crops.

Both the Savio family and Ermes Volpato allege an agronomist from Elders’ Granite Belt branch conducted a field inspection at their orchards in late 2017, determined mites and mealybugs were prevalent in certain types of apples, and recommended a mixture of two Elders products be used to control them: Movento insecticide and Kwickin.

In his statement of claim, Mr Volpato said he raised concerns with the Elders agronomist about the potential for damage to crops if Movento is used as a mixture with Kwickin, but the agronomist assured him the mixture had been used by growers for years and was not an issue.

Following this alleged advice, Mr Volpato purchased 16 litres of Movento and 20 litres of Kwickin from Elders, using nine litres of Movento and 11.25 litres of Kwickin to spray all the Granny Smith and Red Delicious variety apples at his orchards.

Similarly, the Savios purchased 46 litres of Movento and 40 litres of Kwickin from Elders as per advice they claim to have received, using 26.6 litres of Movento and 31.3 litres of Kwickin to spray all the Jazz variety apples at their orchards.

In late October 2017, shortly after applying the mixture, Mr Volpato said he began to notice some russeting damage on the apples he had sprayed. Concerned, he allegedly had the Elders agronomist inspect the “russeting” apples, but was told the damage could not have been from the Movento and Kwickin mixture.

So, once again, the mixture was applied to all Granny Smith and Red Delicious apples at Mr Volpato’s orchards. The impact – according to Mr Volpato’s statement of claim – was extraordinary.

“As a result of the damage”, he estimated only 25 to 30 per cent of the affected Granny Smith apples were able to be sold as first grade apples, 40 to 50 per cent as second grade apples, and 25 to 30 per cent as juice grade apples.

Ordinarily, he said in his statement of claim, a “healthy” crop of Granny Smith apples would consist of approximately 65 to 75 per cent first grade apples, 20 to 25 per cent second grade apples, and 10 per cent juice grade apples.

Mr Volpato also claimed only 30 to 35 per cent of the affected Red Delicious were able to be sold as first grade apples, 35 to 45 per cent as second grade apples, and 25 to 30 per cent as juice grade apples, while a typical harvest from a “healthy” crop would consist of 75 to 80 per cent first grade apples, 15 to 20 per cent second grade apples, and less than 10 per cent juice grade apples.

He maintains that the only apples in his or-

chard affected by russeting during the 2017 to 2018 period were the apples sprayed with the mixture of Movento and Kwickin.

Mr Volpato is suing Elders for loss and damage totalling $197,257 – which includes the cost of 66.6 bins of Granny Smith apples “entirely rejected at harvest for russet damage” – as well as damages for breach of duty in negligence and for misleading or deceptive conduct in providing advice.

The Savios family are also claiming damages for breach of duty in negligence and for misleading or deceptive conduct in providing advice, as well as for costs of more than $406,000 incurred as a result of russeting.

In their statement of claim, the Savios said approximately 50 per cent (nearly 500,000 kilograms) of the Jazz apples harvested from their orchards in the 2017 to 2018 period suffered from “significant russeting”.

And despite obtaining a temporary variation from the Montague marketing group to the quality specifications for first grade Jazz apples (that would allow some apples with russeting on the cheek to be sold as first grade), the Savios claim 147,472 kilograms worth of apples from the harvest could still only be sold as juice grade apples due to the “severe level of russeting”.

The Savios claim to have suffered a loss of nearly $290,000 as a result of the alleged downgrade, as well as $77,690 for additional labour and other processing costs needed to “carefully

sort the fruit affected by russeting”, and $39,710 for having to market and sell their Jazz apples later in 2018 than other apples, outside the time of highest prices.

Elders is denying claims of negligence and has stated their Orchard Monitoring Reports do not contain any recommendations as to the products which should be applied to the Savios’ or Mr Volpato’s apple crops but, if recommendations were provided, they “would have been a guide only”.

The company stated that if the agronomist in question did recommend the rates at which Movento and Kwickin should be diluted for apples, the advice would have been to dilute Kwickin at a rate of 50 millilitres per 100 litres of water and Movento at a rate of 40 millilitres per 100 litres of water.

Interestingly, these are the rates at which Mr Volpato claims to have applied the mixture of Movento and Kwickin to the Granny Smith and Red Delicious variety apples at his orchards.

The Savios, however, claim to have sprayed all the Jazz variety apples at their orchards at much higher rates of one litre of Kwickin per 100 litres of water and 850 millilitres of Movento per 100 litres of water, as per alleged advice received from Elders.

Elders has stated it does not accept liability for loss or injury arising out of its recommendations and “the user takes Elders’ recommendations on those terms”.

‘A protected species...’

Filthy, hideous, irritatingly noisy, a potential disease carrier - but a protected native species ...

The Southern Downs Regional Council says it wishes to remind the community that “flying foxes are a native species, protected under the Nature Conservation Act 1992”, with an active colony proving highly irritating to the Warwick community.

The flying foxes remain ‘in situ’ at Cooks Park - which in case you were unsure is the name of the open area just to the west of Queens Park and the Park Road weir at the Condamine River - and are flying nightly sorties across town, depositing urine and faeces across neighbourhoods.

“They (flying foxes) play an important role as pollinators of many of our native trees and shrubs and regularly migrant from site to site,” a council spokeswoman said in a statement this week.

“Southern Downs Regional Council has been closely monitoring a relatively stable flying fox roost at Cooks Park, Warwick since late last year.

“A recent spike in the numbers of Little Red Flying Foxes at the park is however currently impacting vegetation along the Condamine River and limiting access to the adjacent footpath.

Cooks Park - near the Queens Park weir - is the site of the current Flying Fox colony. They can go wherever they want, unlike residents.

“Little Reds are quite erratic in their movement patterns, but only tend to remain in an area for relatively short periods or until a food resource is depleted.”

Council CEO Dave Burges said the “influx of Little Red Flying Foxes at Cooks Park will continue to be monitored by Council and it is anticipated the majority of the animals will remain in the area for six to eight weeks based on the known behaviour of the animals and previous experience”.

“Residents are reminded that although

Queensland Health considers the transmission risk of any virus or bacteria from flying foxes and bats to humans to be very low, it is not recommended to handle sick, injured or dead animals.

“Council has cordoned off sections of Cooks Park and affected areas of the walking track will be closed while flying foxes occupy the roost site at current levels.

“It is important to remember that flying foxes are protected under State and Federal government legislation and there are significant penalties for harming them or unlawfully disturbing their roost sites.

“Council is asking residents to be patient whilst Council staff monitor the situation and thanks the community for their cooperation when using the park.”

Around 200 players are expected to participate in the Warwick Caledonian Society Pipe Band Muster this Saturday 6 March - making the massed bands finale the biggest gathering of pipe bands in Warwick for 50 years ...

Massed bands to gather

By Pamela Clark-Dickson Visitors to the Warwick Pipe Band Muster this Saturday 6 March are in for a treat, with 200 players from pipe bands across Queensland and NSW combining for what will be an event highlight: a massed bands’ march reminiscent of the colour, pageantry and atmosphere of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

The gathering of the massed bands will be the biggest that Warwick has seen for more than 50 years, since the cessation of the annual Boxing Day Gathering.

The Pipe Band Muster at the Warwick Showground will celebrate the Warwick Caledonian Society’s 150th Anniversary in true Celtic style.

It will be followed by a Scottish gala dinner, which has already sold out; the dinner will also be held at the Warwick Showgrounds, and will celebrate the world-renowned Scottish poet, Robbie Burns.

“This is such an exciting time for the Warwick Caledonian Society,” said Society chieftain Alexander Manfield.

“I guess it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.

“All reports are that this is the biggest bagpipe and drum event in Warwick in living memory.

“The massed band is such a recognisable part of Highland Games events in Scotland, and also of course of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

“Now this bucket list item, shared by those who love all things Scottish, can be experienced right here in Warwick.

“Our grand finale is sure to stir the blood.”

More than ten pipe bands from southern

The Warwick Thistle Pipe Band and the Warwick Caledonian Society will play host to more than 200 visiting musicians this Saturday.

Queensland and northern NSW will join Warwick’s own Thistle Pipe Band to participate in the Muster, between 12 noon and 4.30pm.

Bands from as far afield as Rockhampton and Moree will join award-winning bands from Brisbane and Ipswich, along with the crowd ‘fun favourite’, the Queensland Irish Pipe Band.

Southern Downs Councillor Marco Gliori will officially open the event at 12 noon accompanied by the Town Crier, Bob Townsend, and the Warwick Central School Choir.

Each band will then perform individually, providing audiences with a full afternoon of stirring Scottish entertainment, culminating

in the massed bands’ march.

Other entertainment during the afternoon will include highland dancing from Warwick’s Inverness Highland Dance Studio, medieval display, novelty highland games, and a firelighting demonstration and indigenous workshops with local Rick Rosa. Food and hot and cold drinks will be provided by the Cancer Council; Pecks Coffee and Thorne’s Ice Cream vans will also operate throughout the event.

In addition, event goers will be able to purchase raffle tickets on the day to win their very own Scottish kilt, valued at $880, kindly donated by All Things Tartan, a Queensland supplier

of quality Scottish products.

The free event is open to all - though gold coin donations will be welcomed - and will enable residents from the Southern Downs and beyond to gather to celebrate the region’s Scottish culture and Celtic tradition. Event organisers highly recommend that those coming to the Muster bring their own chairs and picnic blankets.

The Warwick Caledonian Society’s Pipe Band Muster is proudly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) and administered through the Local Event Funding Program at Southern Downs Regional Council.

Meanwhile, the Warwick Caledonian Society’s evening dinner is a sold-out event. The Celtic-themed dinner celebrates the worldrenowned Scottish poet Robbie Burns and all things Scottish and will be held at the Douglas Feez Pavilion in the Warwick Showgrounds.

Attendees to the dinner are invited to dress up in their finest Scottish tartans, and to revel in the pomp and ceremony of the occasion, with piping to welcome the guests on arrival, highland dancers performing, and the piping in of the traditional haggis and whisky.

Participating bands ...

City of Brisbane Pipe Band, City of Ipswich Pipe Band, Moree Caledonian Pipes and Drums, Murrumba Pipes and Drums, St Andrews Pipe Band, Toowoomba Caledonian Society and Pipe Band, Rockhampton Pipe Band, Emmanuel College Highlanders - University of Queensland, Scots PGC College Pipes and Drums, Warwick Thistle Pipe Band.

Buskers return to town...

By Jess Baker Stanthorpe’s Main Street will come alive this weekend for the 2021 South East Queensland Finals of the Australian National Busking Championships, which organisers say will be the biggest in its six year history.

A record number of music lovers and music makers will descend on the town this Saturday – 6 March – for a full day of entertainment and fun.

Solo buskers, duos, trios and groups will compete for a share of $6500 in prize money over numerous categories, including age categories, best band, judges’ awards and People’s Choice.

Organiser Russell Wantling said the event has drawn an overwhelming amount of support and interest so far, with nominations still coming in.

“We have more nominations this year than ever before, but we would like some more local performers,” he said.

“I encourage anyone with talent to register… nominating yourself only costs $20 and there are so many prizes up for grabs.”

The Stanthorpe regional finals have produced four national winners to date, which Russell said is a reflection of the standard of talent at the event.

“It’s a really diverse event,” he said.

“There’s something for everyone and it’s good to support up-and-coming talent.”

As in previous years, spectators will be able to vote for their favourite buskers at the event with $1 ‘Busking Tokens’ and, at the end of the day, the busker with the most tokens will win the People’s Choice Award and $700 cash.

The winners of all remaining categories will be chosen by a panel of judges and will receive

cash awards of between $100 and $1000.

After the 9.00am to 2.30pm busking component of the day concludes, finalists will join special guests and 2020 South East Queensland Finals champion Nine Year Sister to perform a concert for spectators at the Civic Centre, with entry by gold coin donation.

Russell said close to 50 volunteers have invested countless hours organising the event.

“The Busking Committee, the Apple and Grape Committee and different people from the community… everyone has worked really hard,” he said.

“This is the first time I’ve been a part of it and I take my hat off to the team - it’s a real community event.”

All procedures are in place to ensure the Busking Championships will be a Covid-safe event. For more information, or to register your interest as a busker in the 2021 South East Queensland Championships, visit www.appleandgrape.org/busking or call 0427 670 150.

Mobility scooters and mowers are among the donated, pre-loved items which receive ‘TLC’ at the Shed.

A comfortable meeting and cuppa area sits alongside the workshop.

Time to ‘get in the shed’

By Jeremy Sollars As ‘man caves’ go, this one is a sight to surely behold - but then the Warwick Men’s Shed is a lot more than just a physical space and a hive of activity every week for blokes of all ages and backgrounds.

It’s also a place of fellowship, social interaction, and more than a few laughs.

Warwick & Stanthorpe Today caught up with the friendly crew of the Warwick Men’s Shed ahead of their big clearing sale which is on this Saturday 6 March at their former home at the old Rosenthal Shire depot - more on that next page.

But it was also an opportunity to discover what goes on when the roller doors are thrown open several times a week at their new digs in the Warwick Industrial Estate, off Activity Street.

In recent months the Warwick Men’s Shed - along with the Warwick Shire Woodcrafters vacated their former premises at the depot at the corner of Glen Road and Tooth Streets and established new bases of operation in the Warwick Industrial Estate.

The moves were facilitated by the Southern Downs Regional Council, which plans to sell the land on which the old Rosenthal depot sits along with the former shire offices, presently the home of Rose City FM, likewise set to move in the near future to a yet-to-be-constructed studio in Victoria Park near Warwick Hospital.

The new home of the Warwick Men’s Shed is spacious, comfortable and modern and as well as extensive work areas also includes a meeting room with kitchen facilities, where many a cuppa is shared at the group’s regular ‘Toolbox Meetings’.

The Warwick Men’s Shed was started around nine years ago by a group of locals who wanted to create a space where blokes could get together and share their lifetime’s worth of skills and interests, as well as benefit from getting together socially - which as we all well know has significant advantages from a mental health perspective.

But the good news is you don’t need to have

Warwick Men’s Shed secretary Ian Stevens (left) and president Roy May are pleased with the new digs in the Warwick Industrial Estate.

Pictures: JEREMY SOLLARS a trade or craft background to join the Warwick Men’s Shed - and you can also be as young as 18.

“I think there’s a bit of a perception and perhaps a misunderstanding that you need to be an older bloke and retired to come along and be part of the Warwick Men’s Shed,” says secretary and founding member Ian Stevens.

“That’s just not the case - as a matter of fact we’re looking for new members and younger members, and to attract some new blood.

“Anyone over 18 can join up - we’d really like to see some younger people, a few strong 20 year olds would be handy, and some fit 40 and 50 year olds who can lift things.

“The older fellas like us aren’t quite as ag-

ile as we used to be, we’re all well into our 70s now.

“Anyone of any age can join - and we absolutely welcome anyone from any kind of occupational background.

“If you have no trade skills it doesn’t matter - you can come down here and learn things, that’s a big part of what we’re about.”

Italian consul visits the Granite Belt The Southern Downs Regional Council says it proudly flew “the green, white and red Italian flag, showcasing the region’s vibrant cultural heritage” when the Italian Consul Salvatore Napolitano visited last week to explore export opportunities with local businesses.

“Long regarded an authentic slice of Italy in Queensland, the Granite Belt will have its moment to shine, with a number of iconic local tourism operators and producers meeting with the Consul during the three-day tour from last Thursday 25 February,” a council spokeswoman said.

Mayor Vic Pennisi said it was an honour to host Mr Napolitano and promote the rich and colourful Italian culture and produce that defines the southern region.

“Our Italian heritage has stitched a number of patches into the tapestry of the Granite Belt and broader Southern Downs region and 10 TODAY Thursday, 4 March, 2021

Filippo D’’Arro (President of the Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Queensland ) and Salvatore Napolitano (Consul of Italy in Brisbane). it is a privilege to showcase the region’s diversity and culture to the Consul and his travelling dignitaries,” Cr Pennisi said.

“We look forward to growing and fostering our partnership with Italy as a result of this visit and exploring new, mutual export

opportunities to benefit ‘grassroots tourism’, our local producers and industry.

“Whether you live, work, play or stay on the Southern Downs, we offer everything from amazing fresh produce, award winning wineries, boutique breweries, unique arts and crafts and we were proud to share these regional highlights with the Consul.”

The International Club hosted a public dinner with the Consul last Thursday, and the Consul also visited food manufacturers, reviewed the Italian Enrichment Program at the Stanthorpe State High School and met with industry representatives such as the Chamber of Commerce.

Other projects included partnerships with local schools and kindergartens, with one example being Freestone State School where Men’s Shed members have assisted for some years with craft projects for the country school’s annual Fathers’ Day event.

Getting together ...

Ian Stevens says the Warwick Men’s Shed is just as much about mateship and getting men active and interacting with each other as it is about making and fixing things.

“It’s a lot to do with men’s’ health and wellbeing - both physical and mental,” Ian explains.

“There’s a lot of men out there who can feel socially isolated, particularly when they retire.

“The social benefits are huge - this is a place where men can get together with each other and talk freely among themselves about things like their health, and share their variety of experiences and their insights.

“As we know blokes tend to keep a lot to themselves, which isn’t always the best and the healthiest thing.

“Actually we have a lot of wives who contact

us asking how their husband can get involved they realise what he needs and that’s to get out and be active.

“We have men here from all walks of life engineers, tradesmen, blokes who’ve worked in management, office workers, all sorts.

“You can come here and work in the shed and practice your skills and learn new ones - if you want to learn how to weld or how to use a lathe we’ll show you.

“Or you can just come down for a cuppa and a chat and a game of cards.

“You can do as much or as little as you want - we’re pretty easy-going like that.

“I think as much as anything it’s about having a routine - we have set days when we’re down here and that gives the blokes a bit of structure to their week, which is a good thing.”

Plan for Pratten

The Southern Downs Regional Council says as part of its “ongoing commitment to improve infrastructure across the region, it was unanimously voted on at the Ordinary Council Meeting last week to endorse the submission of three new projects to the Cycle Network Local Government Grants Program (CNLGGP).

“The Queensland Government is committed to achieving the Queensland Cycling Strategy 2017-2027 vision of ‘more cycling, more often’ and the CNLGGP allows Council to work closely with the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) to achieve this vision by delivering and improving Principal Cycle Networks (PCN) across Queensland,” a council spokeswoman said.

Mayor Vic Pennisi said that to get more people riding more often, riding a bike needs to be accessible and safe, with facilities that encourage new riders of all ages and abilities.

“Increasing lighting along Quart Pot Creek will not only enhance the visitor experience in Stanthorpe, but will add to resident enjoyment of one of the region’s most beautiful parks for events and cycling around the creek with the family on cool summer’s evenings,” Cr Pennisi said.

“The Rosehill Road Cycleway project aims to connect to existing shared pathways in Warwick to further increase the town’s growing network, whilst the cycleway at Glen Aplin will enable students to safely navigate their commute to school down Mt Stirling Road.

“These are great projects that are keeping our community and our state active.

“With a growing movement towards initiatives like National Ride2School Day on 19 March, ensuring that our community has adequate access to infrastructure between home and school will enable more children to kick-start healthy cycling habits for the future.

“The Southern Downs is a great place to work, live, play and stay and Council is committed to improve the liveability of our region for all our residents.”

The Southern Downs Regional Council says following community consultation in December 2020, Ethos Urban and Council have developed the Draft Pratten Urban Design Framework (UDF).

A spokeswoman said the “Draft Pratten UDF will provide the basis for funding applications, capital expenditure and collaboration between Council, community and other key stakeholders”.

“Council is now seeking community feedback to help finalise the plan,” the spokeswoman said.

Councillor Sheryl Windle said “Urban design frameworks are integral to enhancing the functionality, liveability, character and spirit of an urban area and the community is invited to once again come forward to record their feedback in the next step of the process”.

“The Draft Pratten UDF aims to identify design measures that will benefit the lifestyle of residents, enhance the experience of visitors, provide a basis for investing in public works and guidance for how the town should look and feel within priority areas,” Cr Windle said.

“The Draft Pratten UDF further aims set the scene for ongoing community and economic development initiatives.”

“A copy of the Draft Pratten UDF can be viewed on Council’s Living Here/Have your Say page or residents can contact Council on 1300 697 372 or via email at mail@sdrc.qld.gov. au to request a digital copy.

“A hard copy of the Draft Pratten UDF will be available for public viewing at the Warwick or Stanthorpe Customer Service Centre.

“Once community members have reviewed the plan Council asks for their feedback to be recorded either via the online survey, which will be open until Monday 1 March 2021 and can be accessed online or by writing directly to Council.”

Bridge Club results...

On Monday a delayed presentation of trophies was held. The winners were: Teams. J. Rose D. Moran, N. Collins, M. Simpson; Pairs. B. Bonnell N. Bonnell; Novice Pairs: A. Macdonald P. Kelly: Kemp Shield: P. Kelly This is a busy month for the club: the Annual General Meeting at 11.30 am Monday 8th, a Red Point Event on Fridays 5th and 12th and the local heat of the Grand National Open Teams on Mondays 15th and 22nd.

East/West winners last Monday (Mary Johnston and David Moran) were the only pair to play Board 3 (above) in 3NT, which was the best contract.. This deal is curious because normally singletons are useful in a suit contract. In this case, the value of the singletons held by East/West is reduced because each is opposite an Ace. At other tables both 4H and 4S were held to ten tricks for 620, as North/ South could win the two top diamonds and ruff the third diamond before declarer got started. Mary (West) wisely chose to play in 3NT after David had shown values in clubs and diamonds. After South led a club, Mary rose with the Ace and cashed five hearts and four spades for ten tricks and a score of 630. The extra 10 points allotted for no-trumps gave Mary and David a top score E/W. Results: Friday, 26/02/21 (5-table Mitchell): N/S N. Bonnell B. Bonnell (54.6) 1; J. Nankervis H. Nielsen (50.8) 2.

Country Club Hotel/Motel RE-OPENING

202103025557_1-DL11-21

Country Club open again

By Jess Baker Stanthorpe’s much-loved Country Club Hotel will reopen this weekend after a year-long shutdown, with a new menu and renovated space.

15 new poker machines have been installed at the venue and several areas, including the bar and dining area, have undergone complete renovations.

Steph Elms of the Country Club Hotel said her late father Neil Johnson had wanted to renovate the venue for a number of years but couldn’t due to illness, so last year she and her brother Brian decided to complete them, in his honour.

“Dad bought the Country Club Hotel in the November of 1990,” said Steph.

“He passed away five years ago, and last year his wife Coral gave Brian and I the opportunity to renovate.”

Steph said the last year of renovations has

been an emotional time for her and her family, as the project is so near and dear to their hearts, and she is excited to see their hard work finally come to fruition.

“It’s been a huge team effort – we’ve had help from Bruce Einam and his team of builders, and from Jacob and the boys at Ensbey Electrical… they’ve been great,” she said.

“We still have the beautiful open fire, a drive-through bottle shop, eight motel rooms and 10 hotel rooms and now a brand new venue for our poker machines.

“We have also installed disabled toilets, and our menus are getting a revamp to be above pub grub.”

Steph said she would like to thank the local community for all of their support, and her husband Ian and two boys Rick and Jack for their help during the renovations.

For more information or to enquire about booking availability at the refurbished Country Club Hotel, call 07 4681 1033.

The team at Country Club Hotel are excited to unveil major renovations this weekend.

Looking back on an era

By Jim Barnes The Country Club Hotel, and the site it sits on, has played an important part in the life and times of Stanthorpe since the late 1800s.

The site was occupied by the Sheahan family store and residence in the late 1800s.

However, by 1911, John Sheahan, then in his 70s, commissioned Warwick architects, Dornbusch and Connolly to prepare plans for a two-storey hotel in Maryland Street - to be known as the Central Hotel.

John was one of three pioneering brothers of Irish descent, Denis, Daniel and John who had started businesses in Stanthorpe in 1872.

According to Warwick Examiner and Times (17 June 1911), “The building will be of wood and will comprise on the ground floor bar, two bar parlours, coffee room, dining room, pantries, and kitchen accommodation.

On the second floor there will be a parlour and fourteen bedrooms. The building will front the main street opposite the Royal Bank in Stanthorpe-a central position.

There will two balconies back and front and two staircases, with a large brick cellar under the bar.”

“A tender of £2215 was accepted from Warwick builder E. Madden for its construction.”

On John Sheahan’s death in 1913, at age 75, the ownership was passed on to his wife Mary Grace Sheahan and their children. Mary died in 1924 and the daughters took on the running of the hotel.

The Sheahan sisters had just completed renovations to the hotel when it was gutted by fire in 1928.

From page 15 The fire also destroyed a number of businesses in the neighbouring Allison Building on the corner of Railway and Maryland Street.

In 1930 the hotel that has become an integral part of the Maryland Street landscape came into being.

The Country Club Hotel, which rose out of the ashes of the Central Hotel, was designed by architect J.P. Donoghue.

Donoghue was responsible for a number of important buildings in Stanthorpe, including the Stanthorpe Hospital, St Joseph’s Convent and Hawker Brothers’ building.

The Brisbane Courier, dated February 1 1930, described the Country Club Hotel as “a commodious, handsomely appointed, and up-to-date two-story concrete building.

The out-standing features are several lounges- the main lounge having heavy oak beams and panelling, with an extensive Inglenook fireplace, and “Old Englishe” settee built in under the main staircase.

There is also a cafe lounge furnished in gold-lacquered cane, where morning and after-noon teas are served.

The furnishings were supplied by Messrs.

John Hicks and Co. and T. C. Beirne and Co., Ltd., and the leadlights by R. S. Exton and Co., Ltd. All modern conveniences have been installed, including hot and cold water, and septic systems.

The bathrooms are most attractive, containing tiled-in baths in the Roman style.

The front upper-story contains a spacious balcony, overlooking the town, while from the back is to be seen delightful mountain views.

In all seasons guests will have the benefit of the bracing mountain air.

The hotel stands in its own grounds of two acres, and con-tains several lock-up garages”.

Throughout the 1930s and 40s the Country Club Hotel, run by the Misses Sheahan, was regarded as the hub of social activity in the town.

Shannons set to rev up The 2021 Shannons Motorsport Australia Championships is bound for Warwick’s Morgan Park from 25 to 27 June and Southern Downs Regional Council says it is “proud to support and sponsor the event.

“A partnership between Council and Motorsport Australia was forged in 2019, with 2020 slated to be the inaugural event for the series at Morgan Park, however no-thanks to the global coronavirus pandemic, the series was cancelled,” a council spokeswoman said.

“Motorsport Australia and Council have been working together in 2021 to ensure the series goes ahead.

“This will see Morgan Park take its place alongside motorsport giants such as Sydney Motorsport Park, Mt Panorama and Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit as venues for the 2021 Shannons Motorsport Australia Championships.

“Round four at Morgan Park will feature a number of national categories including Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series, the Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge and the Gulf Western Oil Touring Car Masters, to name just three.”

Shannons Motorsport Australia Championships Director Mike Smith said he is thrilled to have the 2021 calendar finalised.

“Morgan Park is a terrific location for the fourth round of the rebranded Shannons Motorsport Australia Championships in 2021,” he said.

“Together with the Southern Downs Regional Council and Morgan Park, we know this event will be a great success and we are extremely grateful to everyone at Council for their support in making this event a reality.

“Given the nature of this event, we know it will have a real community feel and we look forward to embracing that.

“We can’t wait to compete at Morgan Park and showcase some of the best Australian circuit racing for those in the Warwick region.”

Councillor Marco Gliori also said he is “delighted” the event will go ahead in 2021.

“After the disappointment of 2020, this is great news for the region. This event has the potential to be huge for our region,” Cr Gliori said.

“Having such a massive event like this certainly brings a lot of outside people into the region.

“Not only competitors, but also spectators, which is really good for our recovering economy.

“The economic benefit is one of the best things that will come out of the event, not to mention the thrill for spectators as well as the priceless advertisement for our region via the live TV coverage.

“The event will also be part of the Seven Network’s free-to-air broadcast of the Shannons Motorsport Australia Championships, with a minimum of six hours to be televised throughout each race weekend in 2021.”

Q&A

with longtime Stanthorpe resident Ron Look

This week, as part of our new Q&A segment, we have spoken with longtime Stanthorpe resident RON LOOK. Known by many for his humour and his easygoing nature, Ron is also the voice of Ten FM’s country and rock program.

When you wake up, what are the first three things you do?

I go and make a cup of tea, I come outside and have my cup of tea and a smoke, and then I go and get breakfast ready.

If you could spend 24 hours anywhere, any year, where would you choose?

Well I don’t want to go back to the young years... I’d do what I’m doing now. I’d keep doing radio and I’d spend time with the wife and grandchildren. I’d travel along just as I am.

What’s something people may not know about you?

My wife knows everything about me, but I’ve always dreamed of being a millionaire.

How do you relax after a long day?

I sit down in my recliner chair, kick the footboard up and as soon as I do that my eyes close and I fall asleep.

What are you most grateful for?

Mainly the woman that I married, having children and being able to see my grandchildren grow up.

What would your last meal on earth be?

A curry chicken and rice that my Mum used to make. She used to make the best curry chicken and rice in the world, cooked on an old wood stove.

What are you currently reading and what’s the best book you’ve read?

The only thing I used to read is the paper. If I read for too long my eyes get tired and I want to go to sleep.

What is your favourite spot in the region?

One is my own place, the other is where we do the ratio station. I love the whole of the Granite Belt. My favourite place to eat is SLAPS Coffee House Cafe.

What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?

I always tell my children and my grandchildren that the best piece of advice I can give them is ‘be nice to your mother’.

At school I... ... was just your average sort of student. I tried to stay out of trouble but that didn’t always work.

I spent more time in the Principal’s office than I did in the classrooms sometimes... people started to think I was the Deputy Principal.

Not even a pandemic was going to get in the way of the spectacular spectacle of the 2021 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. While there may be some differences to keep spectators and performers at the SCG safe, the glitz, glamour and utter fabulousness will not be compromised.

Courtney Act (pictured), Joel Creasey, Narelda Jacobs and Zoë Coombs Marr make up the fab four in the commentary box as the hosts of this year’s event.

And fittingly, the theme of this year’s event is “rise”.

SATURDAY

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT NINE, 8.30pm

The Mission: Impossible franchise is one that keeps getting better with each film, and its sixth instalment is a thrilling, action-packed outing from start to finish. After Ethan Hunt’s (Tom Cruise, pictured) decision to save his team results in stolen plutonium falling into the wrong hands, he must retrieve the material before it is used by a terrorist group and their mysterious leader. Joining regulars Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames and Rebecca Ferguson is Henry Cavill, who plays a CIA assassin tasked with monitoring the IMF team. Loaded with incredible set pieces, gripping tension and an excellent cast, Fallout is a superior action movie for all audiences.

MONDAY

OUTLANDER SBS, 10.50pm

Saucy period dramas are all the rage (here’s looking at you, Bridgerton), but Outlander has that added element of time-travel too, which has had many fans over its five seasons pondering what mod cons they’d give up to follow a handsome Scotsman around the hillside living 200 years in the past. Catch one episode and you’ll see that it may not be that hard a decision to make.

Tonight, with hearts always in the right place, Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe, pictured) have a difficult decision to make when a settler reveals their struggle as a bondservant and asks for help in freeing himself and his brother from an abusive master.

Contemporary philosopher Alain de Botton has a widely popular article and YouTube talk titled “Why you’ll marry the wrong person”, of which the basic premise is that people are all a little bit odd and will inevitably disappoint you if you set exceptionally high expectations of them (without analysing your own oddness). This up front pessimism of relationships is of course shielded from those looking for love on this frighteningly intriguing show. Tonight, relationship experts Mel Schilling, John Aiken and Alessandra Rampolla (pictured) analyse how our couples are doing on the intimacy front, with some ‘nailing’ the challenges, while others are like awkward fish out of water.

GARDENING

Beatrice Hawkins

Hardy... and decorative The butterfly bush or Buddleia, is a beautiful, hardy, decorative shrub that comes in a number of colours and sizes and does well in many situations. It does very well in our area and there were some in the neighbour’s yard that provided a great display.

They are native to Africa, Asia and the Americas and were named by Linnaeus after the Reverened Adam Buddle an English rector and botanist, but unfortunately this was after the reverend died.

They like to be planted in full sun in well drained, fertile soil and in this respect don’t differ much from most other plants! Certainly some plants don’t handle as much sun as others, but most seem to like “fertile, well-drained soil.” Buddleias do like a little lime in their soil and consequently they often do really well near cement paths or foundations.

The beautiful lances of tiny flowers at the end of arching stems, provide colour and attract bees, birds and butterflies for many months. They have a lovely honey scented perfume that attracts all of these. Anything that attracts these beneficial things to our gardens has to be worth growing, as they will help keep the harmful bugs under control and minimise the need for using chemicals. Having bees and butterflies abounding will also help with pollinating your vegetable garden.

Buddleias generally flower on new growth, so by dead heading, or cutting sprays for indoors, through the flowering season, new growth is encouraged and flowering prolonged.

There is really no wrong way to prune a buddleia and often, to keep them under control and promote new growth, a good hard cut back is necessary in late winter/early spring.

They are a very tough shrub and even cutting them back to almost ground level works, once they are established.

There are so many sizes available, there really is a plant for every situation, either a tall one as a specimen plant, or some small ones as fillers in a border. So many colours, that if you had the room, you could paint a flowering, ever changing, living picture! Deep blue/ black, pale pinks, mauves, vibrant deep pinks and magenta and of course white and cream for contrast to make the other colours look even more spectacular.

Once established they handle most things in the way of climate, from frosts and snow to summer heat and drought.

I have read that they make a lovely hedge with the sprays of flowers and because they appreciate being trimmed and flowering on new growth. Just imagine a multi-coloured hedge of these beautiful bushes. I have never seen one growing by in my mind’s eye I can envisage such a beautiful sight. Wish I had somewhere I could experiment with this - I think it could look truly spectacular. Mmmm, I have a fenceline where this might go well - just need a rotary hoe to break the ground up first, something for a border, some good soil brought in, a water saving system installed, plants and hey presto! A colourful hedge started for next spring and summer. Another plan for the future when my son comes up and brings the rotary hoe and when we have water to garden with again! He’s going to be a busy lad when he visits his mum!

At the property in Walcha, I established some as specimen plants and can vouch for

their hardiness, as where we were we had heavy frosts to -12 degrees for extended periods in winter, snow at least once a season and quite hot dry summers on occasions!

If a friend or neighbour has a shrub you admire, look for fresh shoots in late spring just as they start to harden up a little, semi-hardwood, and “take a little cutting” about 6 inches long.

Pinch out the top, remove any over large leaves and pot it into a 50/50 mix of compost and sand and they should take OK. Alternatively, if you can identify the name of the particular variety that you admire, go visit and support your local nursery by ordering an already growing bush. For me and my “brown thumb”, this would be the most successful method of propagation!

Don’t forget the Autumn Flower Show next Wednesday10th and Thursday11th and check out the schedule and your garden to see what you can bring to add to the display. As usual, schedules are available from Bryson’s in Palmerin St. Entries will be taken from 8am to 10 on the Wednesday morning. A Covid plan will be in place so you will be able to deliver your entries with confidence.

Judging will then be done and the doors open to the public for their enjoyment, from midday. Trophies will be available for collection at 4 pm on Thursday.

Looking forward to seeing lots of people come and enjoy what the talented and dedicated gardeners of Warwick can grow and show.

NEWS WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Star News Group contributing writer and author PHIL JARRATT reunites with a true blue bushman.

A tale of ‘man of the trail’ The little I know of the craft and lore of the Australian bush, I learnt from a Kiwi, of all people.

More than 30 years ago I wrote: “On a clear and lovely morning I rode east from Hodgson Vale with Bicentennial National Trail co-ordinator Brian Taylor and his wife Carene. We rode past the polo club recently built on R.M. Williams’ property, then high into the hills on a bridle path and along a plateau. From here we could track the progress of the National Trail across the fertile Darling Downs to the border ranges and on into New South Wales.

“From our vantage point we could see a long, long way, but only a minute fraction of what was to come as the Trail made its way down the Divide through two more states. Already we had spent the better part of four months exploring the trail through Queensland, and at times we were road-weary.

But it wasn’t our homes in the city we yearned for - it was the time to do the country justice.”

I still feel that way when I go bush, like I need more time to follow that creek bed around its bend, talk more to that character in the pub, to lie on a swag at night and watch the constellations, to listen for birdsong at dawn.

Along with travelling saddle bag lite, making a chunk of salted beef last a week, getting a horse down a boggy zigzag and a hundred uses for a forky stick, Brian Taylor taught me what to look and listen for in the bush, and how to appreciate its flora, fauna and people.

During the latter half of 1987, and into the Bicentennial year of 1988, with photographer Jan Subiaco, we explored the more remote parts of the 5,300-kilometre National Trail from Cooktown to Healesville near Melbourne on foot, by 4WD and, wherever possible, on horseback. Along the way Brian introduced us to an incredible cast of characters, from bush poet Bob Harlow - who would crouch by the campfire and watch the horses all night, while

Brian and Carene Taylor display a photo of them riding the Trail, 1988. rolling endless Tally Hos and reciting in his mellifluous voice, “I was born upon the Daintree, I’m a product of the land ... ” - to the legendary R.M. Williams, Brian’s mentor, whose idea this incredible trail was.

Brian Taylor’s friends became my friends through a bond of trust you only find in the bush. When I wrote a book about our long trail ride, old Reg Williams contributed a heartfelt

and generous foreword. When Bob Harlow’s wonderful Aboriginal wife Viv died prematurely - “Dunno what’s gonna get me first,” she’d say, “too much salt or too much of Bob’s BS” - I flew up to Mossman at the family’s request to deliver a eulogy.

And yet, somehow the years flew by, and even though in retirement the Taylors had moved a decade ago to the furthest reaches of Noosa Shire to be closer to family, we hadn’t seen each other for 30 years until last weekend, when I drove up a steep hill to a comfortable home surrounded by forest, and watched Brian, the bloke who once rode tall in the saddle as TV’s “Carlton Drover” (Australia’s equivalent to the Marlboro Man), hobble out on his bionic ankles to greet me.

Now in their eighties, the Taylors are selling up and moving into town after a lifetime on the land, but it’s a wrench. While Carene showed my wife over their beautiful gardens, Brian pointed out a wild peacock and showed me the breaks in the thicket where the ‘roos come in at dusk. “Never seen a dingo here, but I hear a few,” he said.

The stables on the property are empty now.

Brian’s artificial ankles and replacement hips - the result of tough first grade rugby in New Zealand, a bad car accident and decades getting in and out of the saddle - haven’t allowed him to ride for years, but Carene, an equestrian rider and horse-breaker of note, only hung up her riding boots this year. Still, being so close to the elements of a lifelong passion for the bush is something they know they can’t replace.

Brian first returned to the land of his father’s birth in the 1950s, and worked the big cattle runs of Queensland before returning to New Zealand to gain an agricultural degree. Later, he and fellow Kiwi Carene married and settled on the Atherton Tableland to raise a family. He taught from time to time, but his heart was in the bush and he was never happier than when droving, shearing, fencing or rough-riding.

And then along came Reg Williams. The legendary stockman who founded a saddlery in South Australia in 1934 and later branched into boots, was a multi-millionaire long before he met Brian while researching his concept of a horse trail to follow the Great Divide from one end of Australia to the other. In the younger man he found a kindred spirit, which happens to be the name of the Taylors’ hinterland property.

Says Brian: “Reg had a lot of money but he never forgot where he came from and he treasured the idea that kids were our future and that they could learn so much from experiencing a trail that took them into the heart of our country, like the Americans had with the Appalachian and Redwood trails. Reg also had this thing about kids from the bush having equal opportunity for education, so he said, you’re going to come to Toowoomba where they can

Sunset drink for the horses. Brian (left) and the author, Guy Fawkes River, 1988.

Picture: JAN SUBIACO have both, and you’re going to work for me.”

Soon Brian was working in a little office on R.M. Williams’ two pet projects - the Stockman’s Hall of Fame and the National Trail.

While he contributed to both, his work on marking and mapping the trail, securing access from both Europeans and First Nations occupants, and writing the history of the areas it crossed began to occupy all his time. By the mid-‘80s, both he and Reg realized they were going to need help to finish the project, and it came in the form of the now-controversial Bicentennial of European settlement.

Although Bicentennial funding would later mean widening the trail concept to include bikes and even 4WD vehicles on some sections, when I met Brian in early 1987 while he was negotiating access through the Widden Valley west of Newcastle, all of that was for the future. I loved his passion for the project and we struck up a friendship that within months had turned into an adventure of a lifetime. For me at least.

Until we left China Camp and headed up Gold Hill for our drop down onto the Daintree River, I didn’t tell him that I’d had my first riding lesson two weeks earlier. After a week of saddle sores and a couple of nasty drops into the mud, he’d probably figured it out.

After the opening of the Bicentennial National Trail in 1988, Brian told Reg he couldn’t stand office work for a moment longer and had to go droving. Says Brian: “I’m out Barcaldine somewhere a month or two later with 8000 wethers, and one morning there’s this cloud of dust and a big LTD Ford pulls up and Reg Williams climbs out. I said, do you want a drink of tea, old fella? He said, ‘I just had to come and see how you’re going.’ We had a wonderful friendship.”

Reg Williams died in 2003 and a few years later the Taylors shifted camp to Noosa Shire to be nearer children and grandchildren. (In fact, we found out last weekend, we have grandsons in the same soccer team.)

Over the past few decades Brian has published five well-received books of short stories and verse celebrating the bush, starting with The Forky Stick in 1988, which he proudly gave me on our last trail ride together. It was a long time coming, but earlier this year he was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for a lifetime of services “to rural and remote communities, and as an author”.

As we got up to leave after a memorable lunch, I asked the great storyteller what he’d do when they moved to “town”. He said: “I often think about that, and I reckon I could go to old people’s homes and read stories, share the wonderful life I’ve enjoyed in the bush. I’d like that.”

He leaned in as he adjusted his ankles for the stairs and whispered: “And I’d like to see them rename the National Trail the ‘R.M. Track’. Make sure you mention that.”

HISTORY WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Filmmaker’s local story Elsa and Charles Chauvel moved to Stanthorpe in late 1929. They had married in Sydney, on 5 June 1927, and by that time Charles had made two silent films, “The Moth of Moonbi” (1926) and “Greenhide” (1926). Elsa had starred in the latter.

From this time on, Elsa would be involved in most other aspects of all the films that followed, including scriptwriting, editing, continuity, costumes, rehearsals, stunts, public relations, promotion work and other tasks.

Their move to Stanthorpe was undoubtedly influenced by the presence of Charles’ mother, Susan Isabella Chauvel and his father, James Allan Chauvel, who lived at El Arish, 94 Greenup Street, Stanthorpe. Charles’ parents also had a farm, Summerlands in the Mutdapilly, Harrisville area.

Charles had grown up on the farm there, aside from his time away at school.

It is also significant, that Charles’ and his friend Robert Emerson Curtis, travelled together to the United States in 1922, to make their fame and fortune. Robert’s family had an orchard at Glen Aplin. He is the uncle of Jean Harslett. Robert created the famous drawings of the stages of construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and the Sydney Opera House, along with significant industrial art in his time in the United States, and was an official Australian War Artist in the second World War. During Charles’ and Robert’s time in America, they shared lodgings and earned money together through journalism and newspaper cartoons.

Charles was involved mainly in film making however, while Robert pursued his commercial and fine art interests.

Elsa and Charles visited the United States in 1928, in order to make money from the two films already made. While there, Elsa participated in theatre, and a Hollywood film. She already had extensive experience in theatre

Elsa and Charles Chauvel in Stanthorpe. work, in Australia and South Africa.

In order to anchor Elsa and Charles, from their wandering ways, Charles’ mother, Susan, gave them a block of land at 5 Minna Street, Stanthorpe. This block of land is only a few hundred metres from El Arish. Because of their future filming plans, Elsa and Charles had no intention of making this a permanent place for living, but liked the idea of a place to come back to from time to time, and so built a small cottage, Misty Mountain.

The birth of Susanne, their daughter, on 10 December 1930, extended their plans a little.

Their permanent residence here might be described as from late 1929, to about February 1932. From then on, they leased out Misty Mountain to occasional visitors to Stanthorpe, and in March 1932 they were on their way to Pitcairn Island to begin filming, “In the Wake of the Bounty.” After this, their residences were

determined according to the locations of the films that followed, but Sydney became the centre of their organising, and these were located variously at Bondi (where the Cinesound Studios were located), Woollahra, Vaucluse, Pymble, Castlecrag. In all their moves and wanderings, around Australia and overseas, they were never absent from Stanthorpe very long.

For the couple of years that they were permanent residents of Stanthorpe, what did they do? As it turns out, quite a lot.

In a sense the writing of the script for, In the Wake of the Bounty, at 5 Minna Street, is one of the most important activities by Elsa and Charles, but there is more. The pregnancy and birth of Elsa and Charles’ daughter, Susanne, was another significant event. During this pregnancy Elsa provided elocution and dancing lessons, to ensure an ongoing income.

Elsa and Charles also participated in, and organised a number of performances and concerts, for charitable fundraising purposes. The first one was the “Night Owl” Ball, in February 1930. another was the formation of the Stanthorpe Operatic Society in a performance entitled “The Arabian Nights.” This was a benefit for the Country Women’s Association. A later production “Happy Days are Coming,” was a fund raiser for the Stanthorpe ambulance and the Kyoomba Tuberculosis Sanitorium.

During March 1930, Charles was a candidate for the Stanthorpe Shire Council. He wasn’t elected as a councillor, but managed a creditable result in the voting. His father, Allan was also a shire councillor for the Normanby Shire Council administering the Harrisville, Mutdapilly area, where their farm was located.

Charles also became a committee member for the Stanthorpe Progress Association, which was the forerunner for the Stanthorpe Chamber of Commerce, and he was also the secretary of the Stanthorpe Travel Promotion and Development Association. It was in this latter capacity that Charles and other community leaders met with Sir Otto Niemeyer, who was visiting Australia at that time to negotiate Australia’s payment of debt problems associated with World War 1. It is extraordinary that Sir Otto took time out, with his negotiations with Federal Government and State Government leaders, to speak with one small community.

They met at the Country Club Hotel, in Maryland Street.

In Stanthorpe during March 1947, for Elsa and Charles, when they and their film crew stopped over, on their way to filming “Sons of Matthew,” on the Lamington Plateau. Ironically, the news report of this event describes them as the “former residents” of Stanthorpe.

Strictly speaking they were, but their life shows what important Stanthorpians they were, and how important Stanthorpe was to their careers.

RURAL LINKS WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Rural Links Livestock agent ROSS ELLIS of McDougall & Sons brings his fortnightly update on local markets ...

Local markets report Numbers were down last week on the recent weekly sales for both cattle (720) and sheep and lambs (1781). The rates for the heavy end of cows and bullocks were not maintained by the export processors. Heavy bullocks sold to a top of 367c/kg to an average of352c/kg.

Cows were on a par to a bit easier with heavy cows making to 304c/kg to average 297c/kg.

Light steers and heifers back to the paddock were the strength in the market with steers under 280kg selling to a top of 634c/kg and averaged 531c/kg. Domestic market steers fell slightly selling to 457c/kg to average 436c/kg, heavier yearling steers sold to 457c/kg to average 437c/kg.

Heifers were keenly sought after for paddock return as well as feed on supplies, making to a top of 526c/kg to average 488c/kg. Yearling heifers sold to a top of 405c/kg and feed on making up to 429c/kg.

Sheep and lambs were around the same number with the easing of the market in the butchers and trade lambs rates. The exporters were one down in attendance but the heavy end was still supported with lambs making to $216 and averaging $211.

Trade lambs sold to a top of $200 to average $182 back slightly and young lambs to the wholesale market sold to a top of $181 Restockers were keeping the averages up with light lambs climbing up to $151 for the better types of light store feeders and paddock return.

Mutton was slightly back but the ewes were

still very keenly sought after with the top of ewes going back to the paddock for $227. Ewes to processors were still sought after and the paddock buyers were keeping the rate up. Wethers were back slightly in numbers and the rate with a top achieved of $188 and an average of $165.

The sale average was only back by $9 / head as the light end kept the rates up as well as the numbers.

Pork numbers were up slightly with store pigs selling from $68 to a top of $158. Spit pigs were from $136 to $280. Sows making from $242 to $310 with very limited supplies. The pork market should start to improve as we move closer to the Easter period.

Poultry supplies were up with 76 lots for sale with the rooster section being up in numbers as well as the geese and quail numbers picking up.

The rates are still static as the number of birds are in an oversupply rather than an undersupply.

She’ll be apples at the Markets... from Stanthorpe Brisbane Produce Report From crispy apples to juicy tomatoes and humble carrots, there is no shortage of great value fresh fruit and vegetables at the Brisbane Produce Market this week. So, now is the time to take advantage of the beautiful late summer produce and create delicious home-cooked meals.

Most pear varieties such as William, Corella and Bosc are widely available and so are Stanthorpe-grown Royal Gala and Granny Smith apples. While Galas make great out-ofhand eating, Granny Smith apples are best used for cooking, due to their tart flavour.

Recovering in price are avocados from North Queensland and strawberries. Combine and toss them with salad greens and pecans to make a simple yet refreshing lunch.

There is a great supply of large Keitt mangoes from Mareeba, rockmelons from Griffith, New South Wales and an abundant supply of pineapples from all over Queensland perfect for late summer fruit salads.

We have been very excited to see the first appearance of persimmons in the Market from Amamoor. Persimmons vary in shape, size and colour from light to dark red, orange depending upon their ripeness. They have tough edible skin like apples and can be crispy or soft. Add persimmons to salads, muffins, cookies or cheese platters.

Peaches, nectarines, plums, grapes, figs, lemons and dragon fruit are all having a strong season, whereas supplies of bananas and watermelon are moderate. Blueberries and passionfruit are short.

The combination of wet weather and hot temperature in Queensland have affected the supplies of cucumber, lettuce, herbs and broccoli, however, the southern states are helping to fill the gap.

Asian vegetables such as wombok and bok choy are plentiful, stir-fry them with oyster sauce and garlic or ginger for an enhanced flavour. With good volumes and sizes, Tasmanian carrots are beautiful eating at the moment. Give a fresh lift to salad and sandwiches by adding grated carrot or add chopped pieces to bulk up your one-pot dishes.

Local green beans and flavourful truss tomatoes are value buys this week along with pumpkin, sweet potatoes and red onions. For an Indian-inspired snack, try onion pakoras.

Mix sliced red onions with chickpea flour,

chopped baby spinach, mint, minced ginger, chillies, and coriander. Season with salt, turmeric and deep-fry or air-fry them until brown. Enjoy these crispy delightful balls with tomato chutney on a rainy afternoon.

Other well-supplied vegetables include capsicums, eggplants from South Australia, cauliflower, broccoli, leeks, chillies, sugar snaps and cabbage.

This week’s top pick is excellent quality zucchini arriving from Shepparton. Mild in flavour, zucchinis are worth adding to your basket this week - perhaps for chargrilling, adding to pizza, or grating for fritters or savoury muffins. Look for firm zucchinis with smooth, glossy skin that feel heavy for their size. Store in the crisper section of the fridge and use within two to three days.

Ag production ‘on track’ Australian agricultural production is on track for a record-breaking year, with an expected farmgate value of $65.9 billion helping to drive the nation’s recovery Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management David Littleproud said ABARES figures released today confirm the sector’s extraordinary turnaround from drought.

“This is an astounding result and testament to our farmers’ hard work, resilience and ability to adapt quickly to a pandemic,” Minister Littleproud.

“I’ve always said agriculture will lead Australia’s recovery out of COVID-19 and our farmers are on the frontline.

“They have responded big time and now we’re seeing the results, with a near record winter crop harvest, strong meat prices and higher farm incomes.

“2020-21 is forecast to be an outstanding year for Australian agriculture, with an expected eight per cent lift in production value on last year on the back of a near record winter crop of 55.2 million tonnes, “Farm cash income for broadacre farms is projected to increase by around 18 per cent at the national level to average $184,000 per farm in 2020-21.

“Favourable conditions means strong meat prices will also continue, with the average national farm income projected to increase by 18 per cent to $184,000 a farm in the short term.

“It’s a remarkable rebound from drought in terms of the three years of consecutive decline and the sheer scale of the turnaround.

“Our industry is on the cusp of an exciting few decades, but prosperity can never be taken for granted and we all need to work together to understand the risks “The Australian Government is committed to accelerating innovation and agricultural trade growth by building a resilient and agile sector.

“We have laid down solid foundations to ensure agriculture can not only withstand the challenges, but flourish, by supporting industry to reach its full potential.”

Facebook Can’t Ban Local Newspapers!

Dear Southern Downs and Granite Belt readers, Last week Facebook has banned news outlets in Australia.

Facebook is abusing their global monopolistic powers in an attempt to bully Australian news outlets, and we support the ACCC and the Commonwealth Government’s efforts to rein them in.

HOWEVER, FACEBOOK CAN’T BAN LOCAL NEWSPAPERS! This is a very powerful reminder of the importance of local newspapers as a trusted and independent source of local news.

Warwick Today and Stanthorpe Today Is Proudly Committed To Printing Local News And Being An Independent Voice For The Local Community.

We’re happy for Facebook to be a platform for crazy cat videos, photos of food and fake unregulated news.

Warwick Today and Stanthorpe Today remains committed to local journalism and is more relevant than ever before as the true source of local news and information.

Drought grants on offer

By Jeremy Sollars We all know how desperately our region requires bucketloads of rain - but every now and then there’s a bucket of government funding community groups can dip into for long-overdue projects of one kind or another, under the broad umbrella of drought relief.

And let’s face it - in most cases, when you think about it, it’s only your tax dollars coming back to you, however much paperwork is required to make that happen.

The point is - if you don’t ask, you don’t get.

So get cracking and apply.

Over the last couple of years local councils and state and federal governments have offered a variety of drought-driven funding programs which have allowed completion of all manner of worthwhile and highly-beneficial upgrades to their facilities - albeit with a variety of criteria which must be met.

One of those criteria is the obligatory photo opportunity with your local pollies, which at the end of the day is probably fair enough but perhaps we can skip the ‘big cheque’ shot every now and again.

A good recent example of a local community group successfully applying for funding under the Southern Downs Regional Council’s Community Drought Project, which is in turn funded by Canberra - is Warwick’s Southern Cross Bowls Club.

The Club held an afternoon tea last weekend to celebrate the installation of new lighting and ceiling fans and an electrical upgrade in their Palmerin Street headquarters, made possible through a grant of just under $6000.

Southern Cross Bowls Club has also in the recent past successfully applied for around $26,000 from Queensland’s Gambling Community Benefit Fund, which will enable the installation of lighting around their greens for night bowls.

Secretary-Treasurer Cheryl Wickham told Warwick & Stanthorpe Today the age of the

Southern Cross stalwarts - Kevin Mooney (President), Daphne Cross (Patroness), Cheryl Wickham (Secretary-Treasurer & Ladies’ President) and Noel Fletcher (Patron). wiring in the clubhouse was identified as a potential issue in recent times and said the Club is grateful to the council for enabling the work to be completed.

Like many such historic buildings across the region electrical and similar upgrades are often an essential part of a community group being the custodian of our local heritage - but they also come with a price-tag, and if you don’t have the benefit of an additional income stream - such as that from pokies - there’s only so much electrical work that can be funded from meat- and fruit- tray raffles.

‘Regional Renewal’ The most recent drought funding avenue to be announced was just last week - $15 million nationally through the Federal Government’s ‘Tackling Tough Times Together’ program, administered by the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal - otherwise known as the ‘FRRR TTTT’.

While the acronym doesn’t exactly roll of one’s tongue, some $347,000 has been granted under the program to local groups this year

across the federal electorate of Maranoa, including the Warwick Girl Guides and the Stanthorpe Agricultural Society.

And the latest round of the program is now open - so it’s time for your group to hone down its list of priority projects and get your application in quick-smart.

Federal MP for Maranoa David Littleproud said “reducing volunteer fatigue and increasing capacity of community groups will be key goals on the Southern Downs”.

“It’s pleasing to see the Stanthorpe Agricultural Society has been granted $19,140 to purchase a utility vehicle to support community events held at the Stanthorpe Showgrounds,” Mr Littleproud said this week.

“Volunteers are critical to the success of community events and agricultural shows in our region, and this purchase will help to reduce fatigue for hard working volunteers and deliver more efficient events in the Stanthorpe community.

“Warwick Girl Guides will also benefit from the latest round of grants with a $9878 funding

SPORT WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Racing enthusiast and former newspaper editor KEITH KRATZMANN reflects on the career of turf legend Bernborough after a Christmas gift brought up some old memories.

The mighty Bernborough Undoubtedly the greatest weight carrying racehorse of all time amassing 15 successive victories in just one year was the Queensland galloper Bernborough.

The tragic circumstance was that in his 19th start in 1946, the constant weight plus three serious checks in the Caulfield Cup ultimately led to his breaking his front fetlock never to race again where the plan was to take the superstar to gallop against the best gallopers in the United States.

The legendary book on Bernborough, which was difficult to obtain, came into the hands of my daughter Maree Kratzmann who saw second hand books of both Bernborough and Don Bradman (the greatest cricket legend) in a second hand SVDP shop in Gladstone.

The Christmas present was a real delight as one had the opportunity to not only in 1946 as a 12 year-old boy to have my Dad take me to see the great Bernborough while in December of the same year, my older late brother Arthur surprised me by travelling to Brisbane from the Kingaroy rail station to attend the AustralianEngland test where Bradman was still batting past his century followed by the longest cricket six hit over the grandstand (a record that still stands) by Keith Miller.

Bernborough’s performances which were not in the days of television screens had racing followers tuned into radio broadcasts and if you visited the movies, Bernborough was often on movie theatre screens with the Cinesound News right throughout the nation.

The book “The Story Behind The Legend” was compiled and written by Bill Sigley in conjunction with regular jockey Athol George Mulley.

The total contents comprised 242 pages which was printed at the time by Boolorong Publications when the company was based at Bowen Hills (Brisbane).

There were no tote facilities in this era so all transactions were made with bookmakers on the respective tracks plus other operators with no licence were considered illegal.

“I was fortunate enough at 12 years-old with my late father to catch a tram in the Brisbane suburb of Toowong which travelled to the gates of the Doomben racetrack.

“The cheapest area was to cross the racecourse (known as The Flat) which with my late Dad, cost us only one shilling.

“Before the race was run, Bernborough paraded down the straight and many said he could not win because of having to lump 10st 3lb over just a sprint course.

“When the field reached the home turn, Bernborough was second last and then as he commenced his run, the outstanding commentator in the late Keith Noud said “He’s coming like a tornado” and duly had the race won at the 50 metre mark”.

The following week, trainer Harry Plant accepted with Bernborough from his sprint win to the Doomben Cup where over the 11 furlong course he carried 10st 10lb to victory.

The Mighty Bernborough and Athol George Mulley with his tremendous weight on the way to the start of the 1946 Doomben Ahern Memorial where his sensational winning finish from second last at the turn has never been beaten. Bernborough’s achievements in just some nine months along the eastern seaboard are honoured at Eagle Farm with a museum of his outstanding record.

Apart from his Doomben victories, Bernborough in earlier Victorian starts of 1946 achieved what was regarded as the impossible in taking out the six furlong (1200 metres) Newmarket where over the final 200 metre sprint he clocked a magic 10 seconds, a record which still stands to this day.

The champion is the only galloper to ever start in a Newmarket at 4/9 on while as it was the largest spring race of all time, the race attracted a crowd of 45,000.

One of the turf’s most colourful figures was Azzalin Romano who paid 2,600 guineas for the great champion. The threesome of Romano, trainer Harry Plant and Benborough got what was called a bargain price well ahead of a prospective owner who came late for at the auction where he was supposed to have an of44 TODAY Thursday, 4 March, 2021

fer of over 4,000 guineas.

After his sensational Doomben wins and weight carrying records Bernborough was then transported by freight ship across bumpy waves from Brisbane to Sydney to contest the feature races before his departure to Melbourne for the weight for age events and the anticipated Caulfield-Melbourne Cup double.

Following his Sydney success, Bernborough was then earmarked for the 1946 Caulfield Cup where he was asked at the time to carry a mammoth weight over a mile and a half (or 12 furlongs).

At this time, rumours were also floating that Bernborough would later travel by ship to North America.

In the Caulfield Cup and apart from giving away up to three stone by some runners, he suffered three checks in running which kept him at the rear of the field until he had to pull wide in the straight and finish fifth.

Mulley denied any suggestions that he had of not winning the race, but what occurred was three checks in the race which seemed a target by other jockeys in creating the Queenslander with a troublesome run.

It’s interesting to note that two bookmakers were betting 3/1 each way about Bernborough while other prices were basically just 6/4. During the same meeting, Bernborough was quoted at 6/4 to win the forthcoming Melbourne Cup even with his massive weight over the

ing that he was taken away to be destroyed. A stunned silence, then cries of horror…. Bernborough standing on three legs, his injured near foreleg held high off the ground.

As Bernborough left the course, people still believed that he was to be destroyed. However veterinarians were able to place the sesamoid bone in position and re-bandage the fore leg.

This later resulted in Bernborough travelling by ship to the United States for stud duties.

He was then taken by train to Lexington in Kentucky, the home breeding capital of America.

By 1975, Bernborough’s 13 crops of 267 foals had produced 245 race starters of which 189 had won 1334 races.

Bernborough has never been forgotten by race followers like yours truly and those still in the age group of the 80’s and 90’s of his rise to fame via the early years of his association with the Darling Downs.

A statue of Bernborough is seen by thousands of racing folk and tourists where it graces the entry to the headquarters of the Jondaryan Shire Council at Oakey.

The greatest five gallopers of all time in the hearts of former racing identities in their respective era are Phar Lap, Bernborough, Carbine, Peter Pan, Tulloch and Kingston Town.

gruelling two miles.

However, connections of the stable decided to take Mulley away from his long standing record where they secured Billy Briscoe as the new rider in the forthcoming weight for age Mackinnon Stakes where weight was only 9st 3lb. Coming to the turn, Briscoe gave the champion a feeler and he was ready for a withering run.

Judging the time to be right, he gave Bernborough rein on the turn, and the race favourite closed quickly on Flight, and the mare’s owner Brian Crowley was thinking, ‘It’s second again for us’.

Then, a loud noise, like a sharp clap of thunder, or a gunshot, rolled over Flemington.

Bernborough faltered and veered off course towards the middle of the track.

The noise was so loud that Briscoe thought for a second that Bernborough had been shot, and Jack O’Sullivan on Flight later told Bill Ahern ‘I heard a sharp crack behind me just before we entered the straight’. The noise had been heard three furlongs away in the sand, and in the press box Bill Ahern and ‘Cardigan’ thought for a moment that some ‘crank’ had shot the champion.

Bernborough’s near foreleg crumbled beneath him and only Briscoe’s skill stopped him from falling. The intelligent bay tried to save himself. He spread his hindlegs, and skidded to a halt, leaving the course, people still believ-

Trials raise some queries How good was it to catch a little of the NRL last weekend? Just an appetizer before the main course which will be served next week when the competition kicks off on March 11.

Of course, for we poor tipsters the trials probably raised more questions than they answered.

Then when you factor in some of the injuries some teams will now have to deal with the whole scenario becomes even more perplexing before we even get to the starting line.

The Charity Shield was all one-way traffic for Benny’s Bunnies but don’t get too excited too quickly. If you are a long-suffering Dragon’s supporter you are probably shaking you head and muttering they didn’t beat much. I guess you can only beat the opposition you play against and the way South’s went about their business was impressive.

Kevin Walters and the Broncos look to have some of the demons of season 2020 to deal with before they are back near to where players, coaches, fans and the club would like them to be.

The Cowboys looked slick in beating the Broncos. Val Holmes and Michael Morgan both appear to be fit and healthy for the first time in a long time which bodes well for Cowboys supporters.

The injury to Storm hooker, Harry Grant makes me wonder whether the call of Come Back Cam will echo though the Melbourne dressing room.

Which brings us to that nagging question - What is Cameron Smith up too in 2021?? Apparently, he is not going to be a Titan, but will he be lured to the Broncos; hear the call of the Storm or simply say I’m done and continue on the lucrative speaking circuit.

Only time will tell in the meantime there is a lot more study to be done before the beginning of this tipping season for this little back duck.

FESTIVAL OF FOOTBALL THIS WEEKEND United Redbacks players supporters and committee have been busy preparing for this weekend’s “Festival of Football” in Stanthorpe.

It will be a celebration of the return of competition football to Stanthorpe as United launch their 2021 campaign in the Toowoomba Premier League.

Former Brisbane Roar coach Mike Mulvey, the last coach to take the Brisbane Roar coach to win an A-League Premiership (2013/14) will be a special guest of the club.

Play commences at 2.00pm with Caboolture (U3) taking on SW Thunder (U23). At 4.00pm Caboolture (QPL2) play SW Thunder (NPL).

At 4.00pm the United Redbacks take on west Wanderers.

The Bar and canteen will be operating at the International Club (please note - no alcohol is permitted to be brought onto the site as it is licenced premises.

This is the game provides a chance for local supporters to catch a glimpse of United’s latest recruit Richardus Rizal.

Born in Indonesia, where he honed his football skills, Richardus moved to Australia signing and playing for Far North Queensland side Mareeba United. The word is that Richardus is very quick around the park and can cause havoc for opposition defenders. United fans are hoping to see some real Razzle Dazzle this weekend.

turn to swell the Championship numbers.

A reminder that there is also a sheet in the Ladies restroom popular upcoming Irish Four Ball which will be played on Wednesday 10 March. This is one of the most popular days on the club’s calendar and usually features some creative orange and green outfits and carts.

An Irish afternoon tea will be held after play on the day, so put it on your calendar and try to either organise your own team of four or join one on the sheet and help to make this one of the bigger days of the new year.

Players also have an opportunity to play an ‘Away Open Day’ without having to travel too far. The Clifton Club Away Day is being held on St Patricks Day, Wednesday March 17. (The proper St Paddy’s day). Clifton is just a mere 40 klms up the road so it will be the closest away Open Day you can attend. There is currently a whiteboard in the Presentation room where you can add your name if you are intending to play. A great opportunity to celebrate St Patrick’s Day twice - now that is properly Irish.

BUSY CALENDAR FOR WARWICK EAST BOWLERS Winners of Mixed competition at the recent Glen Aplin golf Day were Matt and Nikki Waterwork, pictured with organizers.

Despite absence of the Reno crew, the final results were very close in what was a competitive field.

Dick Hilton found himself in the winner’s circle when he topped the card with nett 23 for his round. That may well result in a trimming of his handicap next week. His score could have been better but for a couple of missed opportunities.

The runner up Aaron Simmers, managed to put a few shots together returning nett 24, one stroke off the leader. He also had the lowest gross score of the day - 40 for the nine holes.

John Rawlings collected the run-down prize for his nett 26.

Margie Locke was awarded the encouragement award.

This Sunday, Sporters will play the back nine, teeing off at the later time of 8.00am. Following play, there will be a memorial service at the 8th tee in memory of long-time Sporters stalwart and friend to many, Bob Watts. The Memorial service commences at 11.00 am and an Open invitation is extended to attend to play in the event and be present for the service.

The popular Maureen Bates Golf day is just around the corner, scheduled for Sunday March 14. The day is sponsored by Rex Bates and the event will again be a Two ball Ambrose.

Play commences at 9.00 am with a shot gun start and registration of players by 8.30 am. A time sheet is on the board at the club. This is an open event and all are welcome to attend.

PURPLE PATCH COMES AT A PRICE There was an even spread of all divisions among the women who took out cards in the RSL sponsored Mid-Week Medal Round Last Wednesday.

Among the 20 ladies who took out cards for the event it was the Division Two players who excelled. Wendy Rhea continues to play excellent golf and extended her purple patch of form in this competition returning nett 68.

She has reduced her handicap by two strokes over the past month. Unfortunately, it this good form looks like it will ultimately cost her any chance of competing in the C Grade championships this week.

Di Johnston has fine- tuned her two-armed game and returned a super 69 nett good enough to seal the runner’s up position. Di played the majority of last year using only one arm after shoulder surgery. If there is anyone out there complaining of aches and pains upsetting their golf swing or their score they should take a lesson or two from Di. Tub Ingall was the only Division Two player to receive a ball in the rundown after returning

a good score of 71 nett.

In Division One Jill Barnes only needed 72 nett to secure the Medal winner with a stroke to spare from Kath Devereux, the runner-up on a countback. Jill carded two Gobbles during her round and has put herself near the lead of that competition. Kath played an excellent back nine which put her in a winning position ahead of Mary Young and Anna Cox who each scored 73 nett to win a rundown ball. The last ball went to Marg Adcock with 74 nett also on a countback. Putting glasses were won by Anna Cox and Tub Ingall, both had 28 putts.

On Saturday, an enthusiastic field played in the Secretary’s Pen event. Always a popular date on the calendar the Single Stableford round attracted a field of 26 players. The Ladies Secretary, Michelle Wright, played an early round in the morning before turning into the official photographer and returning after play to present her beautifully wrapped trophies to the winners.

Michelle does nothing by half and organised a special pen as a gift for every player.

The two trophy winners also received classic monogrammed pens from Michelle. Marg Adcock looked anything but a winner after twelve holes but two birdies and two pars in the final six holes ensured her win with a score of 38 points. A great recovery.

Ellie Casey’s back nine score of 19 pts (with a wash) saw her take the runner-up pen ahead of Mary Young with 36 pts after a countback.

Mary (36), Jill Barnes (35), Helen Olsen and Tub Ingall (33) each won a ball in the run down.

This weekend marks the start of the four Stroke rounds of the Club Championships.

Players are reminded that the conditions of play for this event are posted on the notice board in the Ladies Restroom. They state that all rounds must be played in women-only groups hitting off after 7.00am.

Grades are as follows and are decided by your GA handicap at the commencement of the first day of play:- A grade 0 - 18.4, B Grade 18.5 - 29.4, C Grade 29.5 - 45+.

Your playing handicap each day is only used for the day’s nett event and does not determine your grade.

If you are in the top six in your grade after three rounds you will be required to play in the seeded draw on the last Sunday so hold off putting your name on the timesheet for Sunday March 14th.

Those aged over 55yrs as at Sat 6 March are also eligible to compete for the Veteran’s Championship.

For other bowlers there will be the normal Saturday mixed social bowls.

HENDRY AND PIOVESAN SHARE SPOILS Mark Hendry and Rino Piovesan took the honours in last Saturday’s end of month medley stableford at the Stanthorpe Golf Club. Their 44-point score giving them a one-point win.

Piovesan proved the mainstay for the front nine, recording points on six of the nine holes.

Roles were reversed on the back nine, with Mark doing the bulk of the scoring. The pair recorded 22 points on the front nine and 22 points back for their total.

Just one point back was the team of Richard Reardon and Keith Jones, runner’s up on 43 points. They also shared the scoring with a slight lapse on both nines where a mere one point was carded. It ultimately meant the difference between first and second.

Club members, Eric and Shaneen McLellan sponsored the day, donating the prizes for the day. Members are most grateful for their generosity.

The highlight of the day for Shaneen was her score on the 14th hole which is renowned as a difficult hole for the ladies. She needed five hits to finish the hole and added 4 points to their total. It was one of only four, four pointers scored during the round.

The Spin From page 45 The run down went to scores of 42 points with two teams featuring. Mick O’Brien and Keith Allen had two even nines of 21 points for their total with both players taking turns to add to their score.

Barry Hughes and Lyle Bryant also had 42 points, 22 out and back in 20. An unfortunate one-point hole on both nines did little to help their cause.

There are several upcoming events which members should be aware of, including a gathering at 11.00 am next Sunday at the 8th tee at the completion of Sporters to put a plaque for the late Bob Watts in place.

The following Sunday, March 14 is the popular Maureen Bates Golf day. This is a two ball Ambrose event sponsored by Rex Bates.

The event is open to all members and is a shot gun start at 9.00am. There is a Time sheet for this event on the board at the club.

In the meantime, this Saturday play is for the March monthly medal and putting competition (there goes another month). The event is sponsored by Beckett’s Pest Control, club member Tod Beckett. The first of the three rounds of the Pike Trophy will be played in conjunction with the Medal event.

A reminder that as the club is now in a new financial golf year, players must be financial to win trophies on club days. There is a time sheet on the board at the clubhouse for the monthly medal.

MALLET SPORT APPEALING Following a successful Open morning which (speaking from experience) included an excellent long morning tea, members of the Stanthorpe Mallet Club are confident of attracting new members.

There was a good roll up of new faces at the Stanthorpe courts keen to find out more about this sport which so often gets a bad rap.

That is mostly because people do not understand the game, its variations, and its nuances.

The club will be offering various disciplines which will be played on different days of the week including Association Croquet; Golf Croquet and Gateball.There is sure to be something to appeal to all prospective players.

Last week ladies playing in the midweek competition sponsored by the RSL enjoyed near perfect conditions on the Stanthorpe Golf Course for the Individual Stableford event.

Beverly Page visiting from the Burleigh Heads club took the opportunity to join the field which included her daughter Lisa Stuart.

Lisa returned a winning round of 35 points to her mother’s delight. Lisa has been playing excellent golf recently and as a result her handicap is coming down quickly.

Mei Bell also played very well. Her score of 32 points good enough to take out the runner’s up position. Neta Thouard and Lorraine Evans shared the run down with 31 and 29 points, respectively.

Shooters from the Southern Downs Rifle Club enjoyed beautiful Sunday morning on the range last week however they did have to contend with a mirage.

That did not prove to be a problem for Richard McKillop who had a superb shoot in the Open class recording an impressive win over Kevin Jones and Murray Reck with a score of 124.8.

In the Standard class Bob Tyllyer had a good morning. With a score 118.6, he had a good win over runner up Greg Wilson. David Broadbent had his usual good shoot in target rifle class.

SOUTHS BREATHE LIFE INTO MINOR PREMIERSHIP RACE The recent good form of South’s in the race for the Stanthorpe Cricket Association premiership continued last weekend. South’s had a sluggish start to the season but in recent weeks have found form and have charged up the leader board.

On Saturday they defeated competition front runners RSL and have drawn level with second placed Wanderers on 36 points. RSL sit on 42 points but have a game in hand having played 15 games to Souths and Wanderers 14 games.

With just two rounds of fixtures remaining, Souths have a bye this weekend while RSL will finish their season with a bye the following week.

The resurgence of South’s has certainly breathed new life into the race for the Stanthorpe Minor premiership.

Last weekend on Sheehan Oval RSL won the toss and under somewhat threatening skies elected to bat first. An opening partnership of 33 between Tom Garland (23) and Neil Perritt (6) set a platform for RSL to build on but

Will NRL fans see Cameron smith back in a Storm jersey in 2021 - will he join the Broncos or have we seen the last of the great man on the field - the question on everyone’s lips. unfortunately, they did not fully capitalise on the start.

Captain Luke Brady scored a useful 21 but looked to have difficulty getting the ball away as the scoring slowed under the South’s attack of Jordan Lanza and Harry Williams.

RSL were without one of their main strike weapons in Will Dowie and young guns, Rohan Brady (9) and Ryan Hines (1) were dismissed cheaply falling to Lanza and Williams.

Duane Lihou, batting down the order showed his experience scoring 28 important runs but overall, it was an innings where the bowlers dominated.

At the end of the 40 overs RSL were 8/143.

Despite conceding 18 wides and eight no balls the Souths bowlers finished with good figures.

Jordan Lanza was once again impressive with ball in hand.

In his eight over spell, he took two wickets, bowled one maiden and conceded only 17 runs and most importantly no wides or no balls.

Harry Williams also bowled well to finish with two wickets two maidens having conceded only 22 runs.

Not to be outdone the younger of the Lanza brothers was also among the wickets claiming a pair from his eight over spell which including one maiden and cost only 26 runs. Alex Cameron 1/25 from seven overs was the other wicket taker.

The South’s bowlers ensured their batsmen had only a moderate total to chase and Ben Staley and Jordan Lanza moved the score along nicely in the opening overs before Ben Staley (10) was bowled by Josh Wren with the score on 37.

Then came the Lanza connection. Jordan was joined by his father Mark at the wicket and the pair took the score to 70 before Jordan (31) was caught and bowled by Ryan Hines.

Mark was joined at the crease by Liam Lanza (they are a bit like Russian dolls the Lanza’s - remove one and there is another right behind to take its place).

Their partnership taking the score to 124 before Mark (35) became Josh Wren’s second scalp when he was caught by Duane Lihou.

South had the match well in hand when Liam was bowled by Josh Wren for 37 with the score 134. It was left to Matt Hendry (1), Harry Williams (n/o 6) and Sachepal Singh (n/o) to mop the final few runs.

Josh Wren was the shining light among the RSL bowlers taking three wickets for 28 runs from his eight overs. Ryan Hines and Noah Mackenzie the only other wicket takers.

There will be plenty of interest in the results this weekend as RSL travel to Shirley park to play Tenterfield at home and Wanderers taking on Valley’s at Sheehan Oval.

VALLEYS SENT PACKING Valley’s travelled to Shirley Park to take on Tenterfield on their home turf. Valley’s disappointing season continued after winning the toss and electing to bat. Without captain

Damian Anderson Valley’s found themselves bundled out for just 38 runs early into the 18th over. That total made inflated by the addition of four no balls and 10 wides.

With no batsman even getting close to double figures, Mr Extras was without doubt the top scorer on what was a very shocking batting card.

It took Tenterfield just 10 overs to reel in the required runs and send the visitors packing.

Their (Tenterfield) cause also helped along by the Valleys bowlers who contributed eight wides in just 10 overs.

Best of the Tenterfield batsmen was Pat Skinner who came in at first drop with the score 1/12 and hit 18 from 24 deliveries.

It was an unflattering performance from Valley’s, and they will need to lift there game this week if they are to be competitive against Wanderers. RSL will be wary of a Tenterfield side that has played much better this season.

MAJOR SEMI WASHED OUT - COLTS INTO GF Rain interrupted the first round of the finals of the Condamine Cup in Warwick. major semi final between Minor Premiers Colts and Maryvale who finished second on the ladder was washed out early in the second innings with Colts batting.

With a pathway directly into the 2021 grand final Maryvale had batted first posting a target of 175 / 176 for Colts to win. Paul Bourke batted for a top score of 44.

Colts were 1/47 in the 12th over when play was washed out. With the game abandoned Colts as Minor Premiers progress to the grand final. Maryvale will meet Victoria Hill in the Preliminary final this weekend to determine who will play Colts for the Premiership.

Vic Hill played their way into the preliminary final with a solid win over Allora at Slade Oval on Saturday.

Vic Hill batted first closing their innings setting Allora a total of 182 to chase. The innings was well set up with a 79-run partnership between Imran Jawfer who came in at number four and opener Will Duff (22).

It was Sean Bryson who got the breakthrough for Allora when he had Jawfer lbw for 52 in the 23rd over.

The Allora bowling line up managed to contain the remainder of the Vic Hill middle order and tail with only three other batsmen making it to double figures. Singh (10), Exelby (10) and Sandhu (14).

Again, in this game wides played a significant role adding 39 to the Vic Hill total.

Jack Duggan claimed the bulk of the wickets for Allora finishing with 4/21 from his six overs but his tally of wides (15) proved costly.

Matt Higgins also got among the wickets finis1hing with 3/46 from his 10 overs - again 10 wides took a bit of the gloss of a good bowling performance.

The Allora openers, McLennan and Bryson put on 36 before Bryson (12) was caught by Ex-

McLellan (30) and Kajewski (18) moved the score along to 75 in the 18th over before McLellan fell lbw to Exelby.

What followed was a batting collapse as wickets fell as a procession of batsmen made their way to the wicket only to return to the clubhouse a handful of balls later.

The only batsman who looked likely to get on top of the attack was Ole who added 19 runs before being run out in the 29th over with the score on 148. The end came in the 40th over with the fall of the last wicket.

The best of the Vic Hill bowlers were Tom Morris who finished with 3/30 from his allocated 10 overs and Singh 2/13 from 8.1 overs In a disturbing pattern across most games this season in both Warwick and Stanthorpe bowlers are gifting batting sides large numbers of wides and no balls and in some cases this has proved the difference between a win or a loss. In this innings again the bowlers gifted their opponents 31 wides and three no balls.

Vic Hill now move into the Prelim final against Maryvale Condamine this weekend.

It will be an interesting clash. Maryvale have been in up and down form throughout the season but have an amazing finals record.

There are those however who have believed for some time now Vic Hill are the dark horse of the competition and could well go all the way in 2021.

There is some serious cricket ahead of them before that happens however as Maryvale are sure to lift on the weekend.

REDBACKS HOME IN RESERVE GRADE SEMI Following the Warwick Reserve Grade semifinal was played on Saturday at Queen’s Park, it is season over for Sovereign Animals who were defeated by Redbacks.

Sovereign batted first setting up a run chase of 138 for Redbacks. There was no real standout performance from their batsmen however the bulk of their runs came from a good innings from J Wagner (35 no); Robbie Wagner (21) and Damien Canning (20). It was a good performance all round from the Redback bowling attack.

In reply Redbacks on the back of another good innings from Steve Grogan put paid to the required total with three overs to spare.

Grogan who had earlier bowled scored 83 before he was dismissed.

It was a standout innings which included four sixes and a boundary and plenty of running between the wickets and set up victory for the Redbacks.
