Decision on gardens is finally made After receiving “comprehensive feedback” from the public, Southern Downs Regional Council has decided a $47 million Botanical Gardens in Stanthorpe is no longer a priority.

Councillor Stephen Tancred said that while he would love to see the facility approved, funded and built in the future, the project is simply not feasible at this time.

Campaign for music zones a hit

City backs the bush…

A group of passionate local performers and music enthusiasts is continuing with their campaign for the Southern Downs Regional Council to create a designated ‘entertainment zone’ in the Stanthorpe CBD. Following the success of the recent National Busking Championships the Granite Belt Music Council remains firmly of the belief that live entertainment in the streets will only add to Stanthorpe’s ambience - not to mention the social and health benefits we all get from music.

In a display of joining hands across the Great Dividing Range, members of the Redlands Rugby League Club visited Stanthorpe last weekend for a joint carnival with the Gremlins - and to continue their generous drought support for the Granite Belt.

Habitat lost

Busking champs a top event

PUZZLES ................................... page 23

Really disappointed with the Free Time’s piece on flying foxes (4th March). The Free Times is developing a sound reputation for a detailed and more considered approach to local issues which is really welcome. In this instance, the emotive and vitriolic headline and the lack of analysis in the article addressing the root cause of the situation and the potential solution is very disappointing.

The reality is that these creatures are important from an ecological perspective particularly as pollinators in our dry and wet sclerophyll and sub-tropical rain forests. The reason why they are roosting in our urban areas is due first and foremost to a loss of habitat. The only real solution is for the SDRC to work with the state and local community groups to re-establish bat roosting sites well away from urban areas to manage the interaction.

This will take time and resources. The Free Times would do more for the issue if it dived a little deeper into the causes and solutions rather than “going tabloid”. Creating hysteria will do nothing to solve the problem. We’re not the only region facing this issue as more bat habitat is lost. The solutions are out there, we just need to identify them, adapt them to our local conditions and get on with it.

Rick Humphries, Thorndale

As a participant of the recent Busking Stanthorpe Event on the 6th Mar 21, LeviX and Dad would like to extend our congratulations to the committee and all those businesses, organisations and local community that supported the event to make it such a smooth running and enjoyable day.

We currently regularly play at several markets in Brisbane and came to Stanthorpe specifically to play at the Busking Stanthorpe event, bringing with us family and a small band of followers.

We haven’t ever played or visited Stanthorpe, so this event provided us with a wonderful opportunity to attract us to the area and experience Stanthorpe’s friendly charm.

I know that talking with other buskers, the event attracted other musicians from around SEQ, NSW and as far away as north QLD, each bringing with them family, friends, and followers to the region. The result was an event that was not only was a significant boost for the local economy with the thousands of visitors attending for the day but was also an opportunity to encourage newcomers like ourselves who wouldn’t have otherwise come to the region.

I write this letter to encourage the committee in what they do for this event and hope that it will continue to be supported by the local council, businesses, and community in the future.

It is a wonderful event that we could see has significant regional benefit to business and provides an opportunity for musicians like ourselves to perform to new crowds. Thanking you kindly for a great day.

The editor’s desk There will be a fun debate during the coming weeks over the Southern Downs Regional Council’s examination of the options on the management of the region’s cat population, which is the subject of a current community survey.

First and foremost, I must declare my own private position on this matter from a ‘conflict of interest’ perspective, given how central conflicts of interest appear to be at the present time on anything council-related. As a result I have examined at length my own conscience and circumstances and at the time of writing of this editorial I state for the public record that I did not own, nor did I provide care for - either directly or indirectly - any dog or cat, either known to me personally or straying randomly through my neighbourhood. It is a fact that in the past I have been both a dog and a cat owner but it is my sincere view that my present situation enables me to present a view on the topic of cat management without a direct or material conflict. Let the record reflect that forthwith.

In short, it seems to me reasonable that domestic pet cats should be required by law to be registered, in the same way as domestic pet dogs. Is it not discriminatory that the ownership and day-to-day management of one form of companion animal should be subject to heavy-handed government regulation - including incurring annual fees, not to mention harsh financial penalties should the regulations not be adhered to - yet another should be allowed to be kept fee-free, and to roam at will around the streets at all hours of the day and night? Doesn’t really seem fair to me.

Especially when you bear in mind that cats are hunters by nature unlike dogs, which are scavengers. Cats are killers calculating, cold-hearted and merciless, no matter how adorable they may present to their owners when they need to be fed, or want their ears scratched. Cats allowed outside lead a dark, secretive, disturbing ‘other’ life, and it’s time we all woke up to that. Those ‘gifts’ of dead rodents are just part of the mind-games they play, as is the daytime impression of listlessness and laziness - again, do not be fooled.

Send me your letters don’t hold back - and in the meantime, complete the council’s survey at www.sdrc.qld.gov.au

Uncertainty on childcare

By Jess Baker The fate of Stanthorpe’s only major Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) centre is on the line, with Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) voting to commence public consultation on its closure at last week’s ordinary meeting.

It is understood that ownership of the OSHC service was transferred to SDRC on 1 January 2018 and has been able to continue due to lease extensions on the current Corundum Street premises.

In a report to Council, officers noted that SDRC cannot extend the current lease beyond 30 June 2021 and must therefore consider either ceasing operations or relocating to an alternative site.

Councillors Cameron Gow and Ross Bartley raised concerns in last week’s ordinary meeting about the financial implications of continuing to operate the OSHC service, making reference to the fact SDRC currently pays in excess of $17,000 per year for its lease at Corundum Street.

Staff could not confirm whether SDRC is profiting or losing revenues due to operation of the OSHC service, but Councillor Stephen Tancred said he believes Council is suffering a considerable loss.

“We’ve discussed this in a workshop before

A major Stanthorpe childcare centre could face closure, pending public consultation. and I thought we were making a loss of between $500 and $1000 per student per year ... that was my recollection,” said Cr Tancred.

“I thought it might be easier to just write cheques to those families to subsidise them to attend another service.”

SDRC’s Commercial Services Coordinator said officers have already commenced negoti-

ations with a third party for the potential leasing of a new premises that looks “very promising” and would offer a larger space that can serve more families.

The Stanthorpe OSHC currently cares for 73 children from 60 families and operates at a 30 child capacity while providing after school and vacation care.

If SDRC were to cease operations, families would have no other option but to transfer to the only other provider in Stanthorpe, Aussie Kindies Early Learning.

Centre manager Taylor Emblen said Aussie Kindies offers both an OSHC program and a vacation care program - among other programs - and is licensed to educate and care for 61 children per day.

She could not confirm how many children attend the Aussie Kindies programs, but said there is “some availability”.

“We do have the capacity to take on some more children in our outside school hours care program and our vacation care program,” said Taylor.

Aussie Kindies operates from 6.00am to 6.00pm weekdays, 52 weeks of the year, while the Stanthorpe OSHC operates from 2.30pm to 6.00pm weekdays and 8.00am to 6.00pm during school holidays.

Council officers acknowledged in their report to SDRC that the OSHC service “may not be considered core Council business”, but the provision of after school and vacation care is critical to the community.

Council’s unanimous decision to seek public feedback on the future of the OSHC service follows the recent closure of OSHC and vacation care centre, ‘Stanthorpe Cool Kids’.

City supports country through shared bond of footy...

By Casey & Perditta O’Connor Last weekend several hundred of rugby league players from Under 6’s to seniors descended on Stanthorpe along with their families, friends, coaches, volunteers and an army of supporters.

All were in Stanthorpe for the 2021 Redlands4Stanthorpe Rugby League Carnival hosted by the Stanthorpe Gremlins in conjunction with the Redlands Club from Bayside Brisbane.

Both Sullivan and Crisp Ovals were presented in A1 condition and it was a great sight to see cars parked three and four deep on the hill at Sullivan Oval, additional car parking over flowing and the fields and surrounds filled with footballer teams from Redlands, Wattles and Warwick Collegians and of course the Gremlins.

This is the second year that the Gremlins have hosted the carnival which is the brainchild of former Gremlin’s player Troy Colley who now coaches junior rugby league at the Redlands club.

Colley is a firm believer that by working together you can really make a difference.

Last year he had an idea that the two rugby league clubs, Redlands, and the Gremlins could come together to benefit the Stanthorpe community. In the first year, around 300 players participated and this year the numbers of visiting players and local signings grew substantially. In 2020, the Redlands Water Drive for Stanthorpe which was run in

FRONT PAGE PHOTO – Troy pictured with Roger – Troy is the driving force behind the Redlands 4 Stanthorpe Water Drive and Football Carnival.

Picture: CASEY & PERDITTA O’CONNOR conjunction with the Carnival smashed the initial target of 5,000 litres of bottled water.

In fact, 26,000 litres were donated and dis-

tributed last year. The response in 2021 has been nothing short of amazing and a total of 32,000 litres of bottled water will go to Blue

Care and Meals on Wheels to be distributed to the elderly in the Granite Belt community.

Colley who is passionate about giving back to a sport which he says provided him with endless opportunities is this year coaching an Under 13 Redlands team and was back in Stanthorpe earlier this month holding training and coaching sessions with junior players.

Colley and his small team of organisers worked closely alongside the Gremlins committee to make the 2021 carnival even bigger and better.

Speaking on Saturday Troy Colley said the Redland’s players and their families love coming to the Granite Belt. “Last year was great and we are pleased to have been able to pull it all together again in 2021 after such dreadful year. “Roger O’Brien, President of the Stanthorpe Gremlins and his committee have been amazing and worked really hard preparing the facilities for this weekend.

“Once again businesses in the area, caravan parks, motels, hotel and accommodation places have all been supported. “It has been great to see so many kids especially local juniors playing here today. “New friendships have been forged and old mates reunited.

“It doesn’t get better than that.” Colley said while downplaying his role in the event.

Not one to rest on his laurels, Colley now has his sights set on growing the Carnival in 2022. “Perhaps we can make it a two-day carnival,” he said.

Gardens on the long list

By Jess Baker Following eight weeks of community consultation, Southern Downs councillors have decided a $47 million Botanical Gardens in Stanthorpe is not a priority.

The 38 acre “nature-based” facility was presented to Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) in an ordinary meeting on 14 October 2020 as an opportunity that would provide economic, educational and health benefits to the region for “generations to come”.

According to an elaborate 37-page community-driven masterplan, the Gardens would include Anzac memorial gardens, Indigenous story gardens, playgrounds, picnic shelters, a fitness station and a basketball court.

Councillors were divided at the October meeting, ultimately deciding to undertake community consultation on the masterplan for a period of eight weeks over December 2020 and January 2021.

Findings demonstrate the community generally considers the project to be low priority, especially when compared to other town priorities like failing underground infrastructure and water sustainability.

Some major concerns with the masterplan highlighted in public consultation include the potential for high operational costs, flooding and increased predators in the area, while positives of the masterplan include its “visionary” goals and “well developed” steps toward achieving them.

Based on the “comprehensive feedback” received from the public, Council officers de-

veloped a list of recommendations for councillors to consider once SDRC is in “a position to progress the botanical gardens based on project prioritisation”.

One suggestion was that Council consider alternate projects to develop bush walking trails around natural areas within Stanthorpe, such as Mount Marlay and Sentimental Rocks.

Councillor Cameron Gow said he would be disappointed to see the Botanical Gardens masterplan “sit there in limbo” indefinitely.

“We’ve done all this work, what are we going to get out of it as a council and as a community?” he asked his fellow councillors.

Mayor Vic Pennisi said there are elements of the masterplan that may be used in some way, shape or form in the future.

“What this (report) is saying to me is that the Botanical Gardens is not a priority and there may be something that replaces it down the track,” said Mayor Pennisi.

“The other thing too... is financially we just can’t afford to do it.”

Councillor Stephen Tancred echoed Mayor Pennisi’s sentiments and said that as much as he would love to see the masterplan approved, funded and built someday, now is not the time.

“We’re not kicking it out the door... we’ll look at it again, and when the opportunity comes, I’d like to move the motion,” said Cr Tancred.

All councillors voted that SDRC consider other higher priority infrastructure projects prior to proceeding further with the Stanthorpe Botanical Gardens.

Fur to fly in cat survey?

The Southern Downs Regional Council is seeking community views on future cat management options - with key survey questions relating to potential options such as compulsory cat registration and de-sexing. Respondents are also asked if cat owners should be forced to keep their cats indoors at all times, or if allowed outside then in an enclosure only.

The survey is primarily associated with the council’s stated aim of taking action on feral cat populations in the region but cat registration has been a proposal on the local government table for some years now, having been met with fierce opposition in the past by cat owners in the past.

The current survey will close on Thursday 1 April and is available on the council website at www.sdrc.qld.gov.au A council spokeswoman last week said “while domestic cats make great companions without appropriate management they can have a devastating impact on our unique native wildlife”.

“The survey seeks community feedback on the impact of cats across the region and the introduction of cat management initiatives.

“With an average of 700 cats per year impounded on the Southern Downs and almost half of those deemed feral, project funding has been secured through the ‘Communities Combating Pest and Weed Impacts During Drought Program’ to reduce the impact of feral cats on wildlife and the cost of cat management for Council and residents,” the spokeswoman said.

SDRC’s Manager of Environmental and Regulatory Services Craig Magnussen said the survey would “help shape the Council’s strategy to tackle feral cats across the region”.

“Feral cats are a major threat to native and endangered wildlife and are responsible for killing 1.6 billion native animals in Australia each year,” he said. “Feral cats

Cute, or killers? You be the judge - have your say on the council survey. can also transmit diseases to other animals including livestock, which has the potential to cost our biggest sector - the agricultural industry.

“It is estimated that the management of cats cost Council approximately $85,000 per year and the impact to our biodiversity goes far beyond that of the dollar cost to the region.

“Community feedback through the Feral Cat Management Survey will guide Council’s approach going forward in controlling the feral cat population and protecting our native wildlife and livestock.

“Feral cat trapping programs are periodically undertaken at hot spots such as the major waste facilities at Warwick and Stanthorpe and the data indicates the cat problem is growing.

“Recognising the increasing cat problem across the region, we hope to gather information on diseases feral cats are carrying, how they move throughout the region and what their diet is.

“This information will be used to develop a cat management strategy and produce educational materials.

“Feedback is sought from both cat owners and non-cat owners. All responses are anonymous and will be treated as confidential.

“Council is seeking interested parties to assist with data collection through feral cat trapping on their properties.”

Gap tenders due - in July

By Jeremy Sollars Potential instability of the cliff above the highway at Cunningham’s Gap will continue until at least January next year, when installation of new ‘rockfall barriers’ is scheduled to start.

Motorists, including local freight operators, have endured both ongoing inconvenience not to mention risk to safety - for decades due to rock falls onto the Cunningham Highway through the Gap, the region’s only genuine road corridor to south-east Queensland.

The cliff both above and below the highway is notoriously unstable, prone to slippage both from heavy rain and from bushfires, both of which act to undermine large sections of rock on the near-vertical ‘upslope’.

But below the road has also been the source of problems, particularly over the last 15 years, with the highway collapsing at one stage in the vicinity of Claytons Gully on the downhill side.

The Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has announced tenders for the construction of new rock barriers through the top section of the Gap will be called in July of this year, with work expected to start in January 2022.

The work is also expected to involve ‘pinning’ or removal of unstable rock sections, although TMR has declined to provide detail on that aspect of the project, despite being asked numerous times by Warwick & Stanthorpe Today and the Free Times over the past 12 to 18 months.

Either way the project will be a far cry from what many in the region have called for - a permanent solution for the Gap, either in the form of a tunnel through the mountain, a concrete cover over the road, or the construction of a new road across the range at nearby Spicers Gap, just to the south of Cunningham’s Gap. The Spicers Gap option has been dubbed our region’s version of Toowoomba’s Second Range Crossing, with all that exists currently being goat tracks on either side of the range which are not currently linked.

Currently in place through Cunningham’s Gap are shipping containers and low concrete barriers topped with chain mesh which provide very limited containment in the event of a major landslide off the cliff.

New “rock fall” barriers are due to be installed at the Gap - in early 2022.

The most recent such incident was back in January 2020 when a single boulder estimated at more than 10 tonnes - and a large number of smaller boulders and debris - smashed onto the road at the top of the Gap, causing lengthy transit delays.

That fall was caused by a disastrous combination of the late December 2019 and early 2020 bushfires and heavy rainfall, with it also being something of a miracle no motorists were injured, or worse, with a number of nearmisses having taken place over the last several decades.

The work due to commence next January follows months of investigations by TMR and specialist consultants which commenced in late 2020.

Transport and Main Roads Regional Director for South Coast Paul Noonan said the 2022 project will “repair significant slope damage caused by severe bushfires in late 2019 and involved restoring lanes back to their pre-bushfire functionality on the eastern side of Cunningham’s Gap”.

“Since initial emergency works to reopen the road after the bushfires, significant activity has been undertaken on the reconstruction project,” Mr Noonan said in a statement to Warwick & Stanthorpe Today.

“Transport and Main Roads has worked

with specialist geotechnical advisors to undertake comprehensive ground investigations to refine the initial concept option for repairs and determine the most appropriate treatment.

“Importantly, working through the geotechnical and structural assessments of this complex topography before starting the detailed design has meant the repair solution will provide a value for money outcome for taxpayers.”

Mr Noonan said the project will “make optimum use of the available road corridor space by using innovative rockfall barriers with catch fences up to 12 metres high built close to the upslope rock face.

“This method will also minimise construction impact to the existing lanes on this key freight route, a criterion set by TMR during the concept design phase,” he said.

“With detailed design anticipated to be completed by September 2021, we expect to seek expressions of interest for construction contractors in July, with a scheduled construction start date of January next year.

“Targeted consultation with impacted user groups, the local community, heavy vehicle industry, emergency services and other road users, will be undertaken around mid-2021 to ensure project delivery minimises travel impacts.

Eight Mile works underway ...

Meanwhile work has commenced on the construction of a new $25 million overpass at the Warwick region’s other notorious highway ‘black spot’ - the Eight Mile intersection.

The overpass - expected to be completed in February next year - will carry traffic travelling southbound from Toowoomba to Warwick. Northbound traffic and traffic headed for Cunningham’s Gap will continue at ground level once the overpass is completed.

The overpass is in response to repeated calls for a safety solution for the Eight Mile, which has been the site of numerous fatalities and near-misses over many decades.

Motorists planning either regular or occasional travel through the Eight Mile are advised to expect stop-go delays and other disruptions until next February.

Warwick & Stanthorpe Today will run regular updates on the project, but motorists are strongly advised to seek the latest road condition information by calling 13 19 40 or by visiting - www.qldtraffic. qld.gov.au or download the app.

More information on the Eight Mile project : Phone: 4639 0777 (TMR regional office) Email: DownsSWR.Office@tmr.qld.gov. au

· ·

“As the design phase progresses, we will also continue to work through the review process with the Commonwealth to ensure the project meets their eligibility requirements and delivered a value for money outcome.

“In conjunction with a reduced speed limit of 50km/h, a temporary steel safety barrier was installed about one kilometre before Cunningham’s Gap for motorist safety until permanent slope protection works can be completed.”

TMR has previously reiterated that the Gap is “a known high rockfall area with a unique topography, therefore stabilisation works are quite complex and require detailed planning and execution”.

Dead trees tagged for removal across region by TMR The Department of Transport and Main Roads says “a number of dead, dying or dangerous trees across the Southern Downs will be removed in the coming weeks to improve road safety”.

A spokesman said TMR “has identified various trees around the region that need to be removed or pruned to increase safety for road users”.

“Trees earmarked for removal could be dead, dying, structurally unsound, or may overhang the road and risk dropping limbs that can endanger road users,”

the spokesman said.

“The safety assessment also identified some large trees that pose a hazard to road users because of their location beside a main road with high speed environments.

“An environmental report recommended removal of the trees but stipulated the use of a qualified wildlife spotter and wildlife rehabilitator prior to removal at select locations.

“Where possible, trees will have only their limbs trimmed (‘pollarding’) to conserve fauna habitat.

“A cultural heritage assessment has also been undertaken for the trees marked for removal.

“Across the region approximately 60 trees will be removed or pruned in the following road and highway reserves: Cunningham Highway New England Highway Warwick-Yangan Road Yangan-Killarney Road Toowoomba-Karara Road Millmerran-Leyburn Road

· · · · · ·

No decision as yet

By Jeremy Sollars A development application for the largest onshore wind farm in Australia - proposed for land in both the Southern Downs and Goondiwindi council areas - is still being assessed by the Queensland Government, which has asked for more information on noise assessments relating to the proposed operation.

Spanish-owned global renewable energy developer Acciona lodged its development application with the state government in October last year, seeking approval to develop the ‘MacIntyre Wind Farm’ across 40,000 of land the company is leasing from private landholders.

The wind farm would consist of 120 turbines with a ‘wing-tip height’ of 25 metres, with around 20 of the turbines to be operated by government-owned energy provider CleanCo. The land proposed for the development is in the Cement Mills, Pikedale and Goldfields areas, with the main portion within the Goondiwindi Regional Council area.

A new powerline to carry electricity generated from the wind farm to the Millmerran power station would run through the Karara and Leyburn districts, with the Durikai State Forest forming a ‘buffer zone’ along the northern extent of the wind farm.

A spokesman for Acciona this week told Warwick and Stanthorpe Today that the MacIntyre Wind Farm “is still with the State Government for consideration”.

“As is usually the case with these types of applications, there is ongoing back and forth between ACCIONA and the State Government including a request for an updated noise assessment,” the spokesman said.

“ACCIONA is still planning for a construction date early in the second half of the year (2021).”

What’s the process?

The Queensland Government decides wind farm applications in the state and local councils have no formal say in the process.

Acciona plans to build largest onshore wind farm in Australia south-west of Warwick. The company says it plans to commence construction in the “second half” of 2021, despite not yet having State Government approval for the project.

The agency in charge of assessments is the State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA), an arm of the powerful Department of State Development.

But Acciona did meet with Southern Downs Regional Council officers in early March, a council spokeswoman confirmed this week.

“Council officers met with Acciona representatives to discuss various issues including the establishment of an office in Warwick, the work of the Community Engagement Committee and the status of government approvals,” the spokeswoman said.

“It is envisaged that more frequent meetings will be held as the project progresses.”

Documents available on the SARA website show the agency late last year asked Acciona

for more information on projected noise levels generated by the wind turbines.

A formal ‘Information Request’ issued by SARA to Acciona in November stated that ‘background noise monitoring has not been conducted (by Acciona) to inform the provided acoustic assessment”.

“As a result, it has not been demonstrated that predicted noise levels at sensitive receptors reasonably achieve the criteria” set by the government’s ‘Wind Farm Code,” the document stated.

Acciona is yet to respond but had initially been given until February 26 this year. No relevant documents were available on the SARA website as of this week.

Show makes it’s return

By Tania Phillips

Horse events are back - with the bulk being held Sunday along with a country market. meant to be an inaugural event last year that we were going to do because people had just been through drought and bushfire. We’re hoping to have it as a new feature this year

from 11am to 6pm in the main bar area.

“We are just grateful that we’ve been able to put it back on and that the local community and our volunteers are still here to support it.”

12484895-SG10-21

It is two year’s since there has been a Warwick Show but it is back with all the fun of the fair, the circus, food events and markets rolled up into one package.

Show Events and Marketing co-ordinator.

Teilah McKelvey said the show was back as a three-day event with two full days and the last day mainly just horse events but with a new addition.

“Sunday will be the heavy horses, the showjumping and horse ring - but we’ve also introduced Country Harvest Markets,” she explained.

“They kicked off for us as a monthly thing during Covid just to help with local small businesses who were struggling with Covid so we started a Country Harvest Market. We will have those the Sunday of the show.

“The markets feature local growers and artisans our rule of thumb is that you have to be able to make, bake or grow it yourself to be part of those markets.

“This will be the first one this year and we will see how they go through the year.”

She said having the markets as part of the show “connected everything”, “The reason why we did the markets as well - ultimately we’re an agricultural society so it’s really important to connect the community with local ag produces but it’s also just like our small hobby farmers as well,” Teilah said.

The Warwick Show has undergone very few changes as a result of Covid 19.

“We’ve only had to change to the basic rules that come from Q Health so that’s ensuring that our patrons maintain their distance,” she said.

“We’ve made these nifty little hand sanitiser users which have been built around the ground. Essentially our program will run the same as It has in the past years it’s just adhering to those QR health rules that we’ve had to adapt to.”

Though there will be some changes with the Circus being adapted into the usual program of events.

“Our Friday night entertainment is a bit different this year -we’ve got circus and circus acts this year,” according to Teilah.

“And then on the Friday and Saturday we have free kids circus workshops - the circus guys will be running workshops as well. That’s something we wanted to try to bring in to change things up a bit. It’s about the kids interacting, we understand that sometimes the show can hit the hip pocket so we’ve tried to make sure that you get more bang for your buck while you’re here.”

She said there were plenty of free activities for the kids including a scavenger hunt which will be available by following the map on the program as you come in the gates.

“It encourages children, and their families to visit different sections of the show that they might not normally visit,” Teilah said.

“We have just tried to put as much into the show as we can so that people are reconnecting with the traditional parts of the show.”

Kids Under 12 are free for the event all weekend long - something they had decided on last year and are keen to see happen this year.

All of the ring events are full steam ahead with a lot of interest from schools in the stud cattle sections as well as sideshow alley and rides and the exhibitions. With the Saturday night featuring the finals of the border region rodeo being held on the Saturday night.

“It’s a three series event - we had the first one on New Years eve and the second one went out to the Allora show and then the final is back here on the Saturday night,” she said.

“On Saturday we will have a food and wine festival. We encourage food and wine vendors across the Granite Belt/Scenic Rim and Toowoomba to come along and create a food and wine festival on the Saturday. That was

Precincts strike a chord

By Tania Phillips A plan to have Special Entertainment Precincts in the Granite Bell has struck a major milestone according the group advocating for them.

Kel Johnson of the Granite Belt Music Council said the group was feeling confident after news that Southern Downs Regional Council had added the precincts to the new town planning process.

He said the precincts were added to the plan on February 24 - item 14.6 and while he expected it to “take time” Mr Johnson said the Council were feeling confident.

Mr Johnson said the group were in it for the long haul and were very patient as they con-

tinued to lobby the Southern Downs Regional Council.

“We’ve put a second batch of petitions into council which were accepted about a week ago,” Mr Johnson said.

“We have also provided the council with documentation about the levels of support that we’re getting. We’ve had the Apple and Grape Festival say they like what we’re doing, we’ve had the Chamber Commerce auspiced a grant that we have put in for four gigs. It was originally and arts development grant that we had and we put an application in for four concerts for Warrina Park.”

He said the group had become aware that Southern Downs Regional Council Strate-

gic Planning and Prosperity manager Angela O’Mara had been writing a report for council to consider on the precincts which they are now hoping to get a copy of.

Late last year Mr Johnson said it was hoped their campaign could lead to a music-lead economic recovery in the region.

“Special Entertainment precincts - their authority and framework is found in section 264 of the Local Government act of 2009 and what it does is allows for the State government laws for councils to have special entertainment precincts,” he explained.

“What it does is reduces a lot of the red tape and you’ve only got one group - the council - looking out for it and they make the

rules in there.

“In the past we’ve had problems with street closures, there is various reasons why that has happened but if you have Special Entertainment precincts it allows greater flexibility with things like the Apple and Grape Festival.

You won’t have to rely on EPA, Police and Liquor Licensing as much. It will be dealt with by council and the local community that’s the way it should happen.”

The group has been holding performances in Stanthorpe most Saturdays as part of the campaign to create the precincts in the town.

The performances from 11am to noon each week with the latest being held this weekend with Dogwood Trio playing at the Happy Valley Hippy Shop performing.

ADVERTORIAL

CELEBRATING A MEMORABLE FIRST YEAR When born and bred locals Melissa and Bill Kerr took over Stanthorpe Mitre 10 just two days before Covid 19 closed the Queensland Border last year, their future, like so many other businesses, was up in the air.

But that was never going to stop the duo from moving forward with plans to makeover the store and support the local community in the process.

The store has always been very community minded, sponsoring local sporting teams, schools and community groups and Bill and Melissa have continued that tradition.

The make-over plans have been one of the real highlights for the staff and customers alike over the past twelve months. The store has been given a complete facelift, from the

front door right through to their largely expanded garden area and the Stanthorpe community has been supportive of them every step of the way.

So, to say thank you and to mark the occasion of their first birthday, Melissa and Bill will be offering daily giveaways, specials and much more. And for every $30 or more spent in store, you will receive 1 entre (per transaction) into our major draw.

To add to the excitement, once an hour one lucky shopper will receive a gift from the Mitre 10 staff.

Saturday is a big day with a sausage sizzle cooked by the Lions Club all morning, the drawing of the big raffle and all-day specials. All the staff will be on hand to offer free expert advice and friendly personalised service, something they all

pride themselves on.

Melissa, Bill and the staff would like to thank you the local community for all their support and patronage over the past year and they look forward to welcoming you soon.

THREE … ways to reduce stress in your life ...

1

Exercise It’s a cliché for a reason: exercise really does prompt your body to release feel-good hormones like endorphins, which can help you to feel less stressed. Stress can also make you subconsciously tense your muscles, which exercise might help to release. It doesn’t have to be a full workout: walk around the block, do 20 jumping jacks, go for a quick run.

2

Organise Stress can kick in when you are feeling overwhelmed by tasks. A to-do list or time management strategy can help you focus on seeing tasks through to completion. Write out everything you need to get done and each step you need to take. Be realistic about how much time it will take and build space into your schedule to reward yourself for getting the job done.

3

Take a ‘time out’ You’re not a toddler, but that doesn’t mean a time out doesn’t apply when you’re stressed. When you notice stress is affecting how you feel or behave, it might be time to step away and spend a few minutes just focusing on yourself. Do something you enjoy like reading a book or listening to music, or find a trusted friend you can talk to about how you’re feeling.

Kelvin explained that the Warwick Watco operations were increasing, with demand for rail freight on the rise.

Rowan introduced Chamber members to the Warwick Salvation Captain Richard Hardaker and discussed the long history that the Salvation Army has had in Warwick, working within and for the local community.

Rowan provided some information on a partnership between the Warwick Salvation Army and the Warwick Chamber, to support the forthcoming Red Shield Appeal in June.

Rowan kindly took the Chair, all Executive positions were declared vacant, with the following nominations received and elected unopposed for 2021.

Local writer and journalist BOB WILSON shares his latest ‘Observations’ column...

Counting all our citizens You may not immediately deduce from the headline that we are about to embark upon a discourse about the Census, which will happen in Australia on or about August 10, 2021.

I say on or about because the on-line version of the head count can be filled in electronically on or a few days after August 10. You just have to declare where you actually were on Census night. As you will recall, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) held its first on-line census in 2016. There was a major glitch on Census night (August 9) when the ABS website crashed, leaving millions of citizens perplexed.

In October 2019, a Census test was held across 100,000 households to assess ‘end-to-end operational readiness’ for the 2021 Census.

In 2016, about 37% of people opted to fill in the paperwork and wait for an official collector to come calling. This time, the ABS says it expects a better than 63% on-line response, given research that shows Australians prefer to complete the census on-line.

Taking a once in five years snapshot of the country’s population is an expensive exercise, budgeted at $565 million. The ABS will recruit 34,000 people, including 20,000 field staff.

Named after the Latin word ‘censere’, meaning estimate, the Roman census was the most developed of any in the ancient world. The Romans conducted their census every five years.

The Roman Empire used this information to extract duties from its citizens.

An ABS history page says the first known census was taken by the Babylonians in 3,800 BC, nearly 6,000 years ago.

“Records suggest that it was taken every six or seven years and counted the number of people, livestock, quantities of butter, honey, milk, wool and vegetables.”

So yes, there is an historical precedent for the (compulsory) collection of personal data

from every household in the country.

You may remember in 2015 Prime Minister Tony Abbott tried to axe the census to save money. It didn’t happen; such change requiring a new Act of Parliament. To be fair to Abbott, both the Fraser and Keating governments sought to abolish the census for the same reason.

Sydney Morning Herald journalist Peter Martin unearthed a little-known fact in 2013 while writing about other countries which had tinkered with changes. As Martin noted, Britain had, for a long time, been trying to abolish its census (held once a decade since 1801). The government held an inquiry in 2013 to find ways to update the way the UK collects data.

This year’s census will be the last. Thereafter, the UK will ‘harvest the data people generate

in their everyday lives’.

‘Apolitical’, a social network for civil servants, observed that other countries are moving in this direction or have already done so, including the US, Norway and Finland.

“Rather than survey citizens, statisticians would collect the data traces left behind by people’s everyday interactions with government. Data is collected from welfare and tax departments, housing and vehicle registrations or our health records.”

In 2010, Canada’s Harper government tried to replace its census with a voluntary survey, prompting the shock resignation of Canada’s chief statistician, Munir Sheikh.

Following his resignation, Dr Sheikh, once described by a colleague as ‘the best economist in Canada’, expressed his disapproval of the government’s decision, saying that a voluntary survey could not replace a census.

Following the reinstatement of the mandatory census in 2015, Canada is preparing to hire 32,000 census enumerators and crew leaders to survey its vast country in May, 2021.

New Zealand also considered replacing its census, using data from government departments to determine its population. The country’s last census was in 2018 but it is already gearing up for 2023.

Some governments have encountered deep social opposition to certain questions. Former President Trump wanted a Citizenship question in the 2020 Census. He backed off after a wave of hostilities that included a threatened boycott.

In July 2019, he realised there was no time left to have the question included in the 2020 Census papers. So he issued an executive order calling on agencies to turn over citizenship data to the Commerce Department.

In the first few days of his administration,

President Biden rescinded this directive. Litigation about this issue argued that citizenship data could have politically benefited Republicans when voting districts are redrawn.

The idea of trying to run a country without a census horrifies Peter McDonald, Emeritus Professor of Demography at The Australian National University.

“The problem in Australia is that we have no reasonable alternative to the census,” he told Observations. “From an accuracy (and privacy) perspective, the census is better by a long way than trying to combine various administrative data bases. Without the census, the States would continually claim that their population was larger than it actually was. And every other group that received funding on a population basis would do likewise.”

The other controversial question on census forms is the one about religion. In 2001, the UK re-introduced the question (not asked since 1851), largely as an attempt to calculate the size of the Muslim population. Some 390,000 people in England listed their ‘religion’ as Jedi.

This also happened in New Zealand and Australia, with 70,000 people nominating Jedi as their religion in 2001, dropping to 48,000 in 2016. The ABS does not publish the data as Jedi is not a recognised religion.

In Australia, the religion question has been ‘optional’ since the first Census in 1911. The box ‘no religion’ is a recent addition.

Curiously (well, I think it is curious), the ABS confirmed that 90% of people answered the question in recent censuses. If your religion is not listed, the form provides space to enter the data. Because of this response, the ABS holds data on 150 religions in Australia.

Meanwhile, the ABS is still recruiting field officers for Census 2021. Only 145 more sleeps, people.

‘Rocking the baroque’...

Come along to beautiful St Marks Church - 55 Albion Street, Warwick - and hear some fabulous Baroque music this Sunday afternoon, 21st March at 2pm.

The East Street Singers will join with the Darling Downs Ensemble, guest instrumentalists and soloists to present works by Vivaldi, Purcell, Handel and Mozart.

Director Jill Hulme said the choir had been practising for this since September, as an earlier date in 2020 was postponed because of Covid-19.

Jill said the first half of the concert will be ‘Come Ye Sons of Art’ - a birthday ode to Queen Mary, written in 1694 by Purcell and regarded as his finest composition.

The second half features Vivaldi’s Gloria and well-known compositions by Handel and Mozart.

“To give this fine music its due we have gathered together a truly wonderful group of musicians from around the district and Brisbane,” Jill said.

“Joanne McDiarmid and Warryn James from the Brisbane Recorder Orchestra will bring an authentic baroque sound to the orchestra, as will Gabi Laws on harpsichord.

“Trumpeter Phil Ryan, who has performed with the QSO and Brass Razoo, will play on

Some members of the Darling Downs Ensemble, with director Michael Funder on right. many of the pieces.”

The ensemble will be conducted by Michael Funder with Michael Spiller (first violin).

Now in its eleventh year, the Sandy Creek Pig Races brings locals and visitors alike to the Sandy Creek pub, with crowds of up to 2,000 people in attendance.

It’s a real family affair for pub owners Kev and Karen Kiley as local residents dig deep for three different charities across the region – LifeFlight, Wheatvale State School P&C and the Warwick Cancer Council branch.

When it comes to deciding on the charities it’s not a hard one for Mr Kiley. He said all three of the charities are vital in this area. “You’d be hard pressed to find a family not affected by cancer or that has had to utilise the LifeFlight transport. And with the school, well everyone in this community has a connection to Wheatvale State School and we just want to help the P&C out” he said.

The races were the brainchild of the original pub owner, Garry Little and his late wife, Lizzie who wanted to give back to RACQ LifeFlight Rescue after they heard the story of a young local resident who was airlifted by the service.

The races are a miniature version of the Melbourne Cup,

Swap metal for cash...

By Jess Baker From large companies to tradies and small businesses to individuals, if you have scrap metal that needs a new home, Action Metal Recyclers can help.

With more than 50 years’ experience in the industry and 12 processing facilities, Action Metal Recyclers is Queensland’s largest, most trusted privately owned scrap metal recycler.

Warwick branch manager Brendan Doherty said the company is the only direct exporter in the region, which translates to unbeatable prices for its customers.

“Unlike our competitors, we have no ‘middle man’ so the benefits are passed through to our customers in the form of significantly higher buying prices,” said Brendan.

“Over the past 18 months we have also made significant investment in our people, our infrastructure and our logistics.

“For example, we invested in a state-of-theart weighbridge ... which means we are now the only scrap metal recycler in the region with a weighbridge.”

Action Metal Recyclers has experienced substantial growth in recent years, expanding from a team of 25 people across three sites before 2013 to one of 120 people across 12 sites today.

The company attributes its success to exceptional customer service, competitive prices, and world class machinery and technology that allows for economical and efficient processing systems.

“We have also invested in our people who now have unrivalled insight into the different grade of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, which benefits our customers who can come to us with the certainty that our team will grade their scrap correctly to pay the best price,” said Brendan.

“Through the combination of our investment in our people and our technology, as well as our downstream processing capacity and direct access to export markets, I know that we will always distinguish ourselves from our competitors by always paying superior prices for scrap.”

Action Metal Recyclers Warwick is conveniently located at the corner of Enterprise and Progress Streets and is open weekdays from 7.00am to 4.30pm and Saturday 7.00am to 11.30am.

The site is fitted with custom built software which automatically captures photos and weights of each load, guaranteeing customers receive complete transparency, and caters for material weighing between 1 kilogram and 100 tonnes.

To find out how you or your business could benefit from Action Metal’s services, call the Warwick branch at (07) 4661 7922 or visit https://actionmetal.com.au/.

THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW WIN, 8.30pm

Many of us have fond memories of watching Graham Norton’s guests squeeze onto his big red couch for a chit-chat, but the pandemic has put an end to those shenanigans. While it’s still strange to see Norton’s set dotted with armchairs spaced 1.5m apart, or his guests phoning up on video chat, it’s comforting to know that cheeky banter and a good yarn aren’t a thing of the past.

Tonight, Amy Poehler tells all about her new film Moxie, Minnie Driver promotes her podcast Minnie Questions.

GRAND DESIGNS NEW ZEALAND ABC TV, 7.40pm

Our perception of ‘grand’ is taken on an expedition in tonight’s affecting episode.

As host of the iconic original British series for more than 20 years, Kevin McCloud has legions of fans, but it’s safe to declare that his Kiwi protégé Chris Moller (right) has a natural curiosity and empathetic manner which gives him a run for his money. Similarly, the projects covered in this exciting series have that extra-special something.

Tonight, Moller meets Craig Jarvis, a man who is determined to construct an eco-friendly, hand-built 65sqm home overlooking Taylors Mistake in New Zealand’s South Island. It’s the show’s longest build, but also the most compelling and dramatic, to boot.

TUESDAY

STAGED ABC TV PLUS, 9.05pm

We can’t shout over the rooftops that the pandemic is over yet, but the flipside is that we get a second crisp serving of this playful and thoughtful comedy. If you haven’t devoured season one, it sees David Tennant (Broadchurch, above) and Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex) play “themselves” as they jest, engage in philosophical banter and argue with each other through the lens of Zoom during life in lockdown.

Season one featured excellent guest stars, and the return is no exception, with Michael Palin joining the caper. There’s a piquant twist to this season which will delight and keep everyone on their toes. It’s clever, funny and restorative viewing for our troubled times.

Comedians perform bizarre and hilarious tasks with a liberated ease that only the British could muster in this top-notch game show. Fronted by Greg Davies (The Inbetweeners, below), along with his ‘sidekick’ Alex Horne, who concocted the show’s premise more than 10 years ago at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, season six kicks off with two episodes tonight. The fresh panel – Alice Levine, Asim Chaudhry, Liza Tarbuck, Tim Vine (Not Going Out) and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour) – grapple with wheelbarrows and making towers out of lemons, among other absurd things, in what is only the beginning of their 10-episode shenanigans.

INTRODUCING YOUR

SCHOOL PRINCIPALS

• What are some traditions or superstitions you have for the First Day of School?

Not sure I ever have a first day of school because I never seem to stop being here but on the first day that the students are here, I always make sure I’m at school early ready for a fabulous start.

• If they made a movie about your life, who would best play your part and why?

Nicole Kidman … for no other reason other than I’m a big Keith Urban fan.

• What motivates you?

A good coffee, doing the best job I can do, and knowing that I have.

• What is one of your hidden talents?

Although it’s not a secret, I do enjoy painting … in a class … with someone giving me instructions.

Hopefully none because the ‘sani’ bottle has become my best friend in the school, but I do hope that people remember that I stepped up when it was needed, and gave it my best shot.

12487233-CG12-21

• What will be your “fingerprints” on the is school should you ever leave?

• What are some traditions you have on the First Day of school?

The new school year is an exciting time and provides every student with the opportunity to set goals for the year ahead.

I address the Year 7 parade and we discover: • who is the first in their family to High School • who has an older sibling and • who is excited to start their high school journey.

• If they made a movie about your life, who would play your part and why?

Julia Roberts due to her versatility, strength and humour.

“Erin Brockovich” addressed issues such as social change and demonstrated the importance of tenacity and courage through adversity. This perspective resonated with me.

• What motivates you?

I take inspiration from people who have “succeeded against the odds”, embraced change and persevered through challenging times. I enjoy working with students and encourage all to be the best they can be. I appreciate nature and think it is important to stop, breathe, reflect and simply be in the moment”.

• What is one of your hidden talents?

The motto for endurance riding is “to complete is to win”, which reminds me about the importance of trying new things, getting out of your comfort zone and understanding that success is about perseverance rather than first place in every event.

• What will be your “fingerprints” on this school should you ever leave?

The significance of celebrating success, student-focused Whole School Assemblies and the importance of believing every student can succeed.

Christine Williamson Glen Aplin State School is a small country school located 12km south of Stanthorpe serviced with a local and Stanthorpe bus. Our staff of Senior Experienced teachers and experienced teacher aides strive to offer the very best education to our students every day. Being a smaller school, we work closely with families to personalise our approach to the curriculum for each child.

Our staff are motivated to see happy and succeeding students in a variety of learning pursuits, understanding that learning does not just occur in a classroom at a desk.

In 2021, our Year 3 students are undertaking Instrumental Music as a subject and learning either the violin or the cello. All our other students will be offered this opportunity as an option from Term 2. Other openings provided to students to challenge themselves include regional chess tournaments, interschool team sports, athletics, academic competitions, swimming and diverse arts programs including the multi-age Friday afternoon rotation activities.

Our school prides itself on developing community partnerships and works collaboratively within our Glen Aplin and extended Granite Belt region by participating in many events including our Glen Aplin ANZAC Day service. We encourage families to participate in our school activities through regular events such as Father’s Day challenges and the Learning Expo whilst our P&C volunteers provide community connections, support with fundraising initiatives and feedback on school resourcing.

2021 A tradition that I have as a father of four children is to measure the height of all of my family on the first day of any new school year. We also take a picture marking the next milestone in our educational journey. A school tradition is to meet students at the gate as they walk in, especially any new students to our school.

Dalveen State School has almost doubled the enrolments in 2021, with our 19 P-6 students. We have dedicated staff, who all continually put the wellbeing and the learning of our students first. We have a specialised Instrumental Music teacher this year, along with our itinerate LOTE, Music and PE teachers.

We are very fortunate to be like a little family here at Dalveen where everyone is accepted and cared for. Our school motto is “Nothing without labour”, rewards will come after dedication and hard work. Rewards in our learning when we improve and learn that we can do things that are hard and rewards in our lives when we grow into kind, caring and compassionate humans.

Dalveen State School is focused on working with the small community where it plays such an important role.

The students were involved in Clean Up Australia Day this term and they were committed to working hard to ensure our community is kept clean.

• What are some traditions or superstitions you have for the First Day of School?

Traditionally, we have every student desk set up and ready for Day 1 so that no time is wasted getting students settled! It has worked very well over the last few years and we have started delivery on curriculum immediately on the first day.

• If they made a movie about your life, who would best play your part and why?

That’s a hard one – I have so many different roles it would be difficult to assign one, although the scene from Harry Potter in Bellatrix Lestrange’s vault where everything keeps multiplying seems aptly appropriate!

• What motivates you?

The smile on a student’s face when they understand what they are learning about. It’s priceless.

• What is one of your hidden talents?

I have a few – maybe they should stay hidden?!

• What will be your “fingerprints” on this building should you ever leave?

A central hub for our community where we come together to celebrate all occasions. We have honoured members of our community within the school grounds with gardens, friendship seats and memorial areas. It is important for our students to be respectful of those that have helped the school over generations of families and to recognise that this is a part of our school history that needs to be celebrated.

Principal Kate Priddle

12487507-JW12-21

What are some traditions or superstitions you have for the First Day of School?

A large flat white and a toasty – this lays a solid foundation to start the day, especially the first day! Also, a spot at the crossing to welcome back our boys and girls.

If they made a movie about your life, who would best play your part and why?

Bruce Willis. Obvious physical similarities, action based, stuff sometimes blows up around him and he generally tries to do the right thing in difficult circumstances.

What motivates you?

Our boys and girls. They are the energy and reason for doing what we do. They are the most genuine and decent young people. The connection we have with our students reaffirms the great things about working in a school.

What is one of your hidden talents?

Cooking – I love food and I find the whole preparation through to consumption a great way to escape from a day.

What will be your “fingerprints” on this school should you ever leave?

My fingerprints won’t be what is seen. The fingerprints will be SCOTS PGC being true to itself and confident of its own identity and its place in educating young people.

• Traditions or Superstitions on my first day I always wear the same purple and white shirt on my first day. I think I’ve done this for the last five years!

Now that I have said that, perhaps it’s time for a new shirt?!!

• If they made a movie about my life, who would play my part and why?

Tom Hanks. Everyone loves Tom Hanks and he is a very versatile actor. He oozes charisma, confidence and has a great sense of humour!

• What motivates you?

Definitely my family. They are the reason I get up in the morning, go to work and they motivate me to be the best Dad, husband and teacher I can be. I am a lover of life and they are my biggest motivators!

• What will be my ‘fingerprints’ on this building, should I ever leave?

Hopefully, I have brought out the best in the students I teach and people I work with.

If I’ve achieved that, I’m happy!

12487512-SN12-21

• What is my hidden talents?

Mmmm….they are very hidden, even I don’t know them!! I love performing magic to anyone who will watch or listen and I’m not too bad on the guitar!

12487233-CG12-21

• What are some traditions or superstitions you have for the First Day of School?

It is important that all students are welcomed and focused for the start of the year. Therefore, traditionally we have an assembly to welcome everyone back and set a positive tone for the year. Very importantly, all new students and staff get a special welcome and know they are coming into a safe and supportive environment which is grounded on strong Gospel values including respect, compassion and human dignity.

• If they made a movie about your life, who would best play your part and why?

Jackie Chan. He is Chinese (I am half Chinese), funny and a professional martial artist and actor. If Jackie is unavailable, maybe Jeff the original Purple Wiggle!

• What motivates you?

Doing a great job and helping others to succeed. Also, making a success of my school and our students.

• What is one of your hidden talents?

Not sure if it is a talent, but I used to coach Futsal (Indoor Soccer) at a national level for Australia and was the National Men’s Coach of New Zealand for 4 years.

• What will be your “fingerprints” on this school should you ever leave?

St Joey’s is a wonderful school which has serviced the Granite Belt since 1875. Therefore, it is one of the oldest schools in Queensland which we all should be very proud of. When I leave, I would love St Joey’s to be a school all families in the community would want their children to attend. I would like the school to be a school which consistently provides a top-quality education, great facilities and produces wonderful young men and women who serve and lead our community well throughout their lives.

Principal Shane Power

Principal William Ashburn

• What are some traditions or superstitions you have for the First Day of School?

My predecessor always likened the start of the school year to getting a big jumbo jet into the air at take-off.

You have to have everything in place to have a nice smooth start. You want a positive atmosphere with no stress so that the students and parents can flow straight on in. Everything is in the timing.

• If they made a movie about your life, who would best play your part and why?

Ben Affleck would be good. He is a very intelligent actor and has an interest in education. I think he would understand the aims of Total Education in building a better society. We just need to teach him the Aussie accent!

• What motivates you?

There is a great need to make education relevant to young people so they can engage and grow through it, become better people and contribute to their community.

• What is one of your hidden talents?

My first job on leaving school was as a DJ for my local radio station, Colour Radio 4VL. • What will be your “fingerprints” on this school should you ever leave?

Our school has a very peaceful and friendly atmosphere and a respect for knowledge. I hope to have continued and built on those attributes.

Good light lambs back to feed were still a mainstay of proceedings with some light, fresh Dorper lambs 27.5kg live-weight returning $160. Numbers still remain solid which is encouraging the exporters and local trade buyers to fill their orders.

New drought tool under design in pilot regions Farmers in Warwick and Stanthorpe will play a major role in the design of two innovative Australian Government programs aimed at boosting drought resilience.

Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management, and Federal Member for Maranoa David Littleproud announced four pilot locations have been selected to support the development of the Drought Resilience Self-Assessment Tool and Climate Services for Agriculture programs.

The four regions are Queensland Dry Tropics Condamine and Northern Tablelands Victorian Mallee and south-east South Australia Western Australian sheep-wheat belt.

“Farmers and industry within the Condamine and Northern Tablelands region, which includes Toowoomba, Warwick and

· · · ·

Stanthorpe, will have the opportunity to participate in the design and testing of the initiatives,” Mr Littleproud said.

“I encourage farmers in the region to get involved and share their local knowledge and ideas to help develop this important resource, that will ultimately support their resilience, risk planning and profitability through future drought.

“Feedback gathered in the pilot regions will inform the design of the Drought Resilience Self-Assessment Tool and the Climate Services for Agriculture digital platform, to make sure both are useful to the agricultural sector.

“The two initiatives will tailor climate risk, impact and resilience information to specific agricultural sectors in pilot regions, enabling farmers to prepare for future drought and climatic conditions.

“Our farmers have a proud history and a wealth of local climate knowledge so it’s important we tap into their ideas when it comes to the design and testing of technology like this.

“Providing farmers with the tools they need to be drought resilient is a key objective of the Future Drought Fund.

The $5 billion Future Drought Fund provides secure, continuous funding for drought resilience initiatives. It will help Australian farms and communities prepare for the impacts of drought.

This long-term, sustainable investment will make $100 million available each year to help our farmers and communities become more prepared for, and resilient to, the impacts of drought.

On 1 July 2020, the Australian Government announced 8 foundational programs for the Fund.

These programs will help boost the performance of Australian agriculture and increase its resilience to the impacts of drought.

Commodity outlook 2021

cent in the previous quarter.

“While the Bureau of Meteorology’s latest outlook points to a wetter-than-normal autumn for south-eastern Queensland, a good break will be needed after such a patchy season in the eastern and western Downs,” he said.

Despite the mixed season, the survey found the state’s cattle producers were largely upbeat with 33 per cent expecting conditions to improve (down slightly from 39 per cent) and 54 per cent expecting little change to current conditions - largely on the back of commodity prices.

“Seasonally, cattle country south-west of Rockhampton, around Taroom and in the Southern Brigalow belt is, by and large, generally good,” Mr James said, “As is often typical after prolonged drought, pasture recovery is challenged by the prevalence of weeds and this has impacted some of those producers in areas such as Longreach where it has previously been so dry. In addition to this, some of the western Queensland areas that have received a season of sorts are under pest pressure from locusts.”

Mr James said with the temporary closure of some meatworks on the back of a lack of supply, beef prices had rallied to record highs.

“This of course presents a challenge for those producers rebuilding herds and seeking to acquire stock”.

Meanwhile, the majority of the state’s sugar producers - at 54 per cent - are expecting a similar year to last.

“While early season forecasts indicate similar cane production to last year - at 31 million tonnes - there is still a long way to go in the season and producers will be hoping for some sunny weather over the coming weeks after such a wet start in the north,” he said.

“In terms of price, 2021 raw sugar is up around $430 to $440 a tonne, a big lift from the low $300s this time last year, with solid offerings set to continue in the short-term due to the current tightness in the export market.”

In line with the strong outlook for commodity prices, the state’s farmers revised up expectations for their farm incomes over the coming year, with 38 per cent (up from 35 per cent) expecting a higher gross farm income in 2021, while close to half (45 per cent) are looking at a similar financial result to last year.

This has, in turn, fuelled investment plans, Mr James said, with 30 per cent of surveyed farmers in the state looking to increase investment in their farm businesses over the coming 12 months (up from 25 per cent last quarter) and 62 per cent planning to maintain investment at current levels.

Queensland farmers’ investment intentions are now at levels not seen since early-2008 and the third-highest in the Rural Confidence Survey’s 20-year history.

Of those looking to increase investment, 59 per cent of producers plan to spend on onfarm infrastructure (such as fences, yards and silos), 36 per cent on new plant/machinery, 35 per cent on irrigation/water infrastructure and 31 per cent on increasing livestock numbers.

A total of 30 per cent of those expecting to increase investment are looking at property purchase, with appetite for expansion particularly strong in the grains sector and across the Darling Downs region.

“With investment predicated on strong commodity prices, low interest rates and a solid economic outlook, the only ingredient currently missing from the complex is the season,” Mr James said.

“There is strong confidence to invest in ag at the moment and you only need to look at the extraordinary lift in land prices to see how the planets have aligned for the sector.”

A comprehensive monitor of outlook and sentiment in Australian rural industries, the Rabobank Rural Confidence Survey questions an average of 1000 primary producers across a wide range of commodities and geographical areas throughout Australia on a quarterly basis.

The most robust study of its type in Australia, the Rabobank Rural Confidence Survey has been conducted since 2000 by an independent research organisation. The next results are scheduled for release in June 2021.

A mixed start to the season has done little to dampen farmers’ hopes for the year ahead, with Queensland rural confidence sitting at one of its highest levels in the survey’s history, the latest quarterly Rabobank Rural Confidence Survey has shown.

It comes as the state’s farmers look to capitalise on strong commodity prices, with nearrecord levels of on-farm investment expected this year as producers prioritise spending on infrastructure to boost the productivity and profitability of their businesses.

The latest survey, completed last month, found 34 per cent of the state’s primary producers expect conditions in the agricultural economy to improve over the coming 12 months - a slight dip from 37 per cent with that view in December.

While a further 53 per cent expect similar conditions to last year and just 10 per cent expect a deterioration.

This saw net confidence edging up just slightly on the already strong level recorded in the previous quarter.

Rabobank regional manager for Southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales, Brad James said while robust investment - underpinned by commodity prices, low interest rates and a positive economic outlook - reflected the level of confidence prevailing in the sector, the season remained the “missing ingredient” for many primary producers across the state.

“Despite some significant monsoon activity in the north of the state down to around Capricornia, the rain has been pretty patchy elsewhere,” Mr James said.

“Parts of the Darling Downs remain dry, while it has been pretty hit and miss further west around Roma. And in the black soil Downs country around Richmond and Hughenden, the country is doing its best to respond after so many dry years.”

Reflective of the mixed rainfall received in the state, seasonal conditions were cited by 50 per cent of Queensland farmers with a positive outlook as reason for their optimism, while commodity prices were nominated by 71 per cent.

By commodity sector, cotton and grain growers were the most positive about their prospects for the year ahead, albeit off a relatively low base given the 2020 season.

More than half of the state’s cotton growers, 55 per cent, expect business conditions to improve in the year ahead, up from 51 per cent in the previous survey.

“While the national cotton crop is expected to bring in 2.4 to 2.5 million bales - a four-fold increase on last year’s crop - conditions have been very mixed for Queensland’s cotton growers,” Mr James said.

“Some cotton-growing areas in the south continue to battle drought, while historically low inflows into the Fairbairn Dam have seen some growers in the Emerald region unable to plant for the first time in 30 years.”

Meanwhile, Mr James said, the state’s grain growers were looking to a better year ahead with the survey finding 55 per cent were expecting conditions to improve, up from 52 per

GRAHAM PARKER of the Stanthorpe and Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce shares his latest column on behalf of the Chamber..

Perspectives on being thankful As I sit and write this on a Monday morning, the rain is falling and we have had over an inch of rain overnight. Tanks are full, dam is getting a top up and the ground is getting a much needed soaking. After the years of drought it is a wonderful thing. Where I live near Ballandean, we have been lucky to have some good rainfall early in the year and then a few top ups of the tanks since the new year.

Hopefully this current weather system will finally discover the Eukey area where many dams are still a long way from being full, Storm King Dam being one of them. Other parts of the region have also had good rainfall but it is a bit patchy and if you happen to be under one of the storm cells that deliver a good dumping you can consider yourself fortunate.

Stanthorpe has now seen water carting for the town supply since December 2019. 15 months at an estimated cost of some $8 million to date. Over 400,000,000 litres of water trucked in just to keep our town going! This has been a colossal task and I think it is appropriate that we as a community acknowledge the contribution of a range of people that have helped to make this happen.

Firstly to Premier Anastacia Palaszczuk that has committed the state Government to funding the cost of this water carting program.

After years of drought and many in the agriculture and horticulture industries being unable to work their land (the backbone of our local economy), the financial implications of

the community picking up the tab would have seen many walk off their properties. Thank you Premier.

To the SDRC past and present that saw the implementation of the tanks and pipeline project and have overseen the constant flow of tankers to keep those tanks topped up so the taps can stay on. It has been a pretty seamless transition after a few initial teething problems but has otherwise been without any major issues or interruption to supply. A huge effort by our council staff. Thank you all.

To the Tanker Drivers. I have spoken with several of the drivers over the past few months and thanked them for their service to our community. All of them have made a similar comment “but we are getting paid”. While that might be the case, it is still not a task that I would look forward to every day, driving back and forward along the highway. These drivers have been excellent in their approach to the job and I have heard some anecdotal feedback that they have performed above and beyond what was expected. Thank you, every single one of you.

A big thank you must also go to the wider community. People have observed the water restrictions which has seen the daily usage fall to a point that is manageable. When we consider that there has been an unprecedented level of tourist visitors to the Granite Belt during the water carting and there has been

By Jeremy Lister

Stanthorpe & Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce president Graham Parker.

Picture: JESS BAKER no massive spike in water usage, it illustrates that a sensible balance of messaging has been shown by our accommodation providers and community leaders.

In my role with Chamber, I get to speak to a great many business owners (and lots of nonbusiness owners too) and the message that has come through loud and clear is how resilient our town is. Dealing first with drought, then bushfires and now Covid-19, our town has risen to all those challenges and shown so many new visitors to the region what a special place we live in. The challenge for us all is to invite those new visitors to become repeat visitors.

From all of the challenges we have faced there has certainly been a silver lining to the towns fortunes and none of this could have taken place if it wasn’t for those tankers.

The rugby league season has started and so has the Telstra premiership. So I wanted to talk about my thoughts on who is going to make it in to the finals and how well some teams are going to do. First I would like to talk about the Brisbane Broncos (which is the team I go for), I think that it is definitely not going to make it into the finals. I think in order to get into the finals they would need a new coach.

Now with the Gold Coast Titans I think that they are about the same level as the Brisbane Broncos and like the Brisbane Broncos they are not going to make it into the finals. But I think this Friday’s Gold Coast Titans vs the Brisbane Broncos game will be a little bit even because as I said earlier they are on the same level. Now onto the Melbourne Storm, I think that the Melbourne Storm will be in the finals. They are a very good team and the game against the Rabbitohs was the 20th year in a row they won their first game in the season.

Local footy season nears What a great sight to see Sullivan Oval lined by cars and the players and supporters filling both Sullivan and Crisp Ovals for the Redlands4 Stanthorpe Carnival on Saturday.

With the local football season not far off it was a great way to whet the appetite of players and supporters in the region.

Well done to the organisers who did a magnificent job.

As we head into football season, Cricket wrapped up in Warwick and the finals are upon us in Stanthorpe.

Rugby League, AFL and Rugby Union are all gearing up with preseason games happening across the region.

Last Saturday there was a big crowd at the Redbacks AFC headquarters for the 13th Cardinal Cup. Unfortunately, the Redbacks did not come away with the silverware this year but had solid support for the pre-season round robin with the season commencing next week.

Congratulations to Connor Lloyd named the Redback’s best player of the Cardinals Cup. It looks like the footy season in all codes across the Southern Downs is going to be a big one if the preseason games interest is any yard stick.

Can’t wait.

Casey

OFF AND RACING IN THE NRL 2021 Round one of the NRL is done and dusted and following Cameron Smith’s ninth hour official confirmation of his retirement we have all moved on quickly. One day a GOAT the next - Cameron who?

Crowds flocked to the games as the NRL 2021got underway. It was a round that posed more questions than answers for many tipsters and must have left some coaches wondering why they bother.

Not so Craig Bellamy, as the Melbourne Storm barely missed a beat. The Storm brought the South’s Bunny back to earth with an awful thud. I don’t imagine you will see Benny’s Bunnies playing like such rabbits in a hurry.

Plenty of ball catching drills this week and long meaningful stares from the coach after he did not sugar coat their performance to the press following their litany of dropped balls.

Those who have not put Melbourne in their top four for 2021 will be kicking themselves as will those who like me who overlooked the fact that Melbourne under Bellamy have an unbeaten first up record. (damn).

The Broncos showed glimpses of something good before the injury gods set upon them.

Fortunately, none of the injuries are as serious as they could have been. No doubt Kevvie has brought the much-needed change of attitude to the squad fans were hoping for.

The Eels are another side that had stage fright at the start of the game unable to hold the ball. They got home but cannot afford to continue down that path.

The Panthers were like a well-oiled machine as were the Raiders.

The tigers were quick to draw blood against the Raiders but the attack was short lived.

Plenty of improvement required if they are to make their presence felt in 2021.

The Knights were awesome in front of a great home crowd. Plenty to like for their fans going forward. The Bulldogs showed their fans a little ray of hope in what have been dark times at the club.

St George battled hard, but it still looks likely to be a long season for their fans while the Sea Eagles were surprisingly ordinary and there are already murmurs around their Coach’s future. (Round one people - do not get too carried away).

Their opponents the Roosters were scintillating and put the rest of the NRL world on notice. They are back and with a purpose in 2021.

After a much-hyped off season the Titans

The Maryvale Condamine cricketers had plenty to celebrate on Saturday after winning their fourth Warwick Premiership on the trot after an up and down season.

Mick Bourke was only too happy to accept the Tom and Margaret Walsh Trophy for the Player of the final from Gerard Walsh and Mary Thorley on behalf of Mitch Bourke who after setting the platform for his team’s win was off to play football as the sporting seasons begin to overlap. served up a poor performance. Several players on big contracts need to live up to the expectations of their club and fans. You do not get paid the big bucks to just turn up and pull on the jersey - there needs to be a whole lot more from their marquee group.

The Warriors were a pleasant surprise. The Central Coast must agree with them. Let’s hope this is the start of a more consistent performance this season.

The Cowboys coach Todd Payten’s summa-

You’re never too young to enjoy rugby league. Six-week-old Sophine Schottelius looked right at home at Sullivan Oval on Saturday with her family who was there to support Wattles. L-R Alan and Beth Schottelius, Laurne Schottelius, Alana Deehan with baby Sophine and John Schottelius.

tion of their performance was spot on - “Play like that you won’t beat anyone”. Bit of tough love coming the way of the Cowboys and rightly so. Fans in NQ have a right to be extremely disappointed with the season open their team turned in.

Cronulla Coach John Morris was still playing the last time they got the points in round one. They revelled in the going and slipped away to a 12-0 lead early before finishing strongly for their win in the local derby

against the Dragons.

With round one just a memory we move on to the next challenge what happens in round two?

MARYVALE MAKE IT FOUR Maryvale Condamine wrapped up their fourth consecutive win in the Condy Cup, the grand final of the Warwick Cricket Association comepitition.

The Spin From page 31 It was a dominant display by the defending premiers who by their own admission had a tough season in 2021 and at times were less than confident they could make the Grand final let alone raise the shield and trophy for the fifth time in seven years.

Colts finished the season as Minor premiers and were throughout the season the most consistent team.

On Saturday at Slade Oval, Colts won the toss and elected to bat first hoping to set up a substantial run chase.

At the first drinks break they looked to be travelling nicely and were 62 without loss.

Shortly after they lost opener Matt Kiernan for 27 when he was caught by Kevin Bourke off the bowling of Mick Bourke. The score 1/72.

The fall of wicket brought the dangerous John Cleary to the wicket, but his stay was short lived when he was out in the next over caught

by Morris off a Kieran Bourke delivery for eight runs.

At the second drinks break Maryvale had fought back to have Colts 3/105 after 34 overs.

What followed was a procession of batsman making their way to the wicket and returning short-changed as the Maryvale bowling attack tightened the screws and batsmen had difficulty scoring.

Mitch Darton proved to be a thorn in Colts side taking 4/27 from his 10 over spell.

Colts at the end of the 50 overs were 8/165; not the total they were hoping to defend.

Maryvale needed to get away to a good start and they were off to a blinder. Little did the Colts bowlers and fielders know but Maryvale Opener Mitch Bourke had a date with a football game. He smashed 43 before he was stumped in the fifth over off an O’Leary delivery.

The score was 1/49, Maryvale were off to a great start and Mitch Bourke was off to footy.

Maryvale have been in too many grand final appearances over the past seven years to squander their good start and at drinks were 1/100 with the 2021 premiership well in their sights.

Pat Bourke was dismissed for 28 a couple of overs later and while the scoring slowed in the next few overs, the experienced Mick Bourke and Will Gordon chipped away at the required total as they saw off the quick bowlers.

Both batsmen had been quiet by their standards but in the 32nd over opened the shoulders and a flurry of boundaries and sixes closed the game out in just the 33rd over. Mick Bourke finishing not out 22 and Will Gordon unbeaten on 36.

It was a comprehensive victory and one that the team has had to work hard for this year with a lack of players early in the season make life difficult. It was a great result for their young captain Pat Bourke in his first year at the helm.

There was little doubt who would be named players of the final and Mick Bourke was happy to pick up the Tom and Margaret Walsh player of the Final trophy for Mitch Bourke.

Celebrations were set to go well into the night as Maryvale added another premiership to their impressive tally.

The Reserve Grade grand final was played at Queen’s park and it was Sovereign Animals who outplayed Redbacks to score a big win. After losing the toss Sovereign Animals set their opponents a 154 target but bowled Redbacks out well short of the target to claim the premiership.

TEAM OF PAULS NAIL A WIN There was a change to the landscape of the normal Stanthorpe Sporters Sunday competition last week. Members friends and visitors played a Two Ball Ambrose for the nominated event, the Maureen Bates golf day. The event has been a popular date on the golfing calendar for a number of years and is kindly sponsored by Rex Bates.

Although the majority of players were local, a number of visitors from the API golf travelled to Stanthorpe for the competitive event.

The Team of Paul’s, Byrnes and Armstrong returned the best result of the round. It was a 32 TODAY Thursday, 18 March, 2021

Showing their support at the Redlands4 Stanthorpe were this group of Gremlins past players and the current coach.

Glenn Webb, Aaron Abraham, Sharun kelly, Steven Fossey and the Meggsie Irwin Gremlins coach.

Nicole Harrison, Louise Mclellan, Brooke O’Brien, and Lyn Spencer were kept busy on Saturday at Sullivan Oval kitting out all the Gremlins teams with their club gear.

Best result on the day came from the team of Paul’s, Paul Byrnes and Paul Armstrong. It was a good result for this pair who have run into a few snags on previous occasions when they have teamed up. Not for this event, however.

Between them they managed nine straight pars to win the day to ice the event.

In second place was the team of Dick Hilton and Margie Locke who were about two shots back on the winners. A couple of bogies ultimately the difference between first and second.

Margie had the shot of the day, a short chip to the green which looked like it was headed to the train track, only to hit the flagstick and drop inches from the cup for an easy par.

In the run down, John Green and Brendan McMillan, Sam Stewart and Jennifer Sparkes, Mick Irwin and Terry Byrnes and Matt Goddard and partner, D. Palmer each received a pack of golf balls for their result.

A multi prize raffle was held after the presentation, with prizes being kindly sponsored

by Rex Bates. Special thanks to Rex for his continued support of the event and arranging the raffle. With plenty of prizes to go round, there were some happy smiling faces among the crowd, especially multi-prize winners. Always

next year for the rest to have a chance to take a prize home.

The sausage sizzle after the competition was just what was needed after the competition. Thanks to the ladies who looked after the BBQ while the golfers were doing their thing.

This Sunday it is back to normal for the Sporters crew with a nine-hole stroke event back in play. Tee off is from the normal time of 7.30am and of course a welcome is extended to anyone who would like to try out a round of golf on a Sunday morning.

WINNERS CLAIM DOUBLE On Saturday Stanthorpe golfers were joined by visitors from API for an individual stroke. For home players, the round also represented the second of three rounds of the Pike Trophy Visiting golfers from the API also joined the local players in the day’s event. The day was sponsored by Stephen and Sandy Kay. David Burgess had the best round for the men, leading in both the gross and nett scoring.

Burgess completed the round in 75 giving him a nett score of 71. Kev Rowling bounced back from a dismal round the previous week

to return a nett 72 and take the runner up prize after a countback with Santo Cavallaro, also with nett 72. Santo settling for a run-down prize.

Others to feature in the run down were Max Hunter, Nathan Stibbard and Eric Ree, all with nett 73.

The Ladies’ event was won by Lisa Stuart with a nett 72. Lisa also managed to return the lowest gross score for the ladies, 95 for the round, completing the double for the day.

Helen Jones collected runner up prize for the ladies with a nett 78.

In run down stakes, Jennifer Sparkes and Jenny Barling (Wynnum GC) both left with a prize after they returned a nett 79.

After the second of three rounds of the Pike Trophy several players have put themselves in a good position to win the trophy.

At the completion of the second round, any player with a nett score in the 140’s looks to be in with a good chance. In the Ladies event a nett score in the 150’s looks promising. With one more round to complete the event, there is no clear-cut favourite and the win is still up for grabs.

Casey O’Connor From page 32 Last Friday 71 players hit the course vying for top honours in the Builder’s golf day, a Three ball Ambrose event sponsored by Howard Trade Centre.

Top honours went to the team of Greg Fraser, Troy Keir, and Adrian Beesley. Between them, the built a winning score on the back of 12 birdies in their round. David St John, Chris Fittock and Cameron Turner also had a good day. They recorded seven birdies in their round nailing the runner’s up position. For Beesley and Turner it was a return to where golf began for them as junior players in Stanthorpe.

This week is the final round in play for the Pike Trophy and therefore will be an individual stroke event. Only time will tell if we are going to see a player emerge from the pack to claim the Trophy? Mark McCosker sponsors Saturday’s round and which includes play for the Nuffield Cup.

LOVE, WAR, BOWLS AND CRAIC ALL AT SOUTHERN CROSS It was a case of all’s fair in love and bowls at the Southern Cross Bowls Club last week with several hard-fought battles in the Turkey Triples competition.

Al Buse, Nick Farmer, and Jools Buse were given a hard time by Brian Black’s team in the first game and Steve Tyter’s team in the second, however they managed to get the upper hand to secure the runners-up spot. Our spies tell us Jool’s was left thinking this was tougher than hitting those buttons at Rose City FM. The winners for the day, Dave Scotney, Linda Hartley, and Kev Mooney beat Roger Cavanagh, Les Clarke and Kim Hankinson in the first round and gave Marg Thompson, Myrtle Wagner, and Jean Calam a hard time in the second.

It was some consolation when the raffle prizes went to Myrtle Wagner and Marg Thompson as well as Sid Morris and Joe Torrisi (who took home the rum).

Again, Clark and his helpers on and around the green did a great job as did the kitchen staff who made sure nobody starved and of course thanks to Allan for multiple thirst quenchers.

On Saturday Val Gray sponsored a St Patrick’s Day celebration bowls day. There were certainly some weird and wonderful outfits and wonderful characters among the 36 bowlers who to be sure to be sure got into the spirit of the day and there was plenty of Craic.

Congratulations to the winners, Wayne Foster with Tony Dwan and Cita Weier. The runners-up were Pat Gainey, Brian Rudd, and

Brian Bourke. Finishing in third place were Kev Mooney, Dave Owen, and Sophia Holland.

Linda Hartley with Marlene Hall and Al Buse managed to finish in fourth place but still finished in the prizemoney.

At the other end of the field or horse were Sue Dipplesman, Doug Gainey and Allan Davidson who were good sports, and each received a prize.

On the subject of prizes, there were a dozen bottles of wine and a whiteboard covered in cash up for grabs in the raffles. Out of the 25 raffle winners, it was noted that Julie Foster came away with the lion’s share of the wine, making her bag six bottles heavier.

A little leprechaun by the name of Bill took the prize for the best outfit.

PETERSEN SEEDS SCOOP THE POOL

BUSY WEEK FOR THE MALLET PLAYERS

There was a small but enthusiastic crowd at the Killarney Pool last Sunday afternoon for the Killarney Amateur Swimming Club Annual Club Championship Carnival.

Before the Age championships got under way there a great deal of interest in the Town Relay (4 x 25m freestyle relay) and the Harry Taylor Memorial Medley Relay ( 4 x 25m medley relay).

Some competitors had clearly been doing some behind the scenes training while others, though competitive seemed to be more content to be in the pool and out of the heat as the vocal crowd lent their support to the swimmers.

The Petersen’s Grains team scooped the pool in the community relay events winning both races.

The team of Sandi Petersen, Scoot Petersen, Sean Kalinowski and Wayne Petersen received the winner’s medals and will have their names added to the Perpetual Trophies. The trophies this year were presented by Sue Graham who was standing in for her mother, the club’s Patron, Mrs Taylor who is normally on hand to present these much sought after trophies.

The winner of the Women’s 25metre Freestyle dash was another Petersen, Krystal while the men’s event was won in fine style by Sean Kalinowski.

Following the presentation of these trophies and medals attention turned to the Club Age Champion championships with swim-

BUSH EVENT AT ARCHER’S CLUB The Bullecourt Bounders Orienteering club will host their first bush event in 2021 this Sunday, March 21 on the property of the Warwick Archer’s club on the south western outskirts of Warwick.

Publicity Officer for the Bullecourt Boulder Bounders, Liz Bourne, said that as a state standard event it was expected to attract orienteers from across South East Queensland as well as local competitors.

“We have extended the original map so it now takes in some adjoining grazing land as well as a hill of granite boulders,” Ms Bourne said. “This adds to the attraction of the area and will provide plenty of technical challenges for seasoned competitors.”

Ms Bourne said Orienteers planning to attend the major orienteering event outside Orange over Easter would find this course a beneficial training run as both courses have sections of complex granite terrain.

Next Sunday’s event will have nine courses on offer to suit all levels of skill and fitness.

“Anyone is welcome to come along as our sport is open to everyone, not just members,” she said. “Instruction on the basics of map reading and navigational skills will be available for those new to the sport.”

The event will be open from 9 - 11am. You can find the Warwick Archery club land at 212 Ford Road. Entry cost is $5 and families are welcome to go around a course together.

STANTHORPE CRICKET FIXTURES END IN A WHIMPER The regular season of cricket fixtures in the Stanthorpe Cricket Association comepitition drew to a close last weekend with a whimper rather than a bang. It was disappointing that Valley’s forfeited their final game against third placed South’s.

The Minor premiership was safely in the hands of RSL coming into this round and they had the bye in the final round and progress straight to the grand final.

Wanderers who finished runners up to the Minor Premiers had a ten wicket win over Tenterfield on Tenterfield’s home turf Shirley Park.

The home side was bowled out in under 30 overs for miserly total of 82. The Tenterfield openers went cheaply and only Fowlers and Merchant made it to double figures. Fortunately for Tenterfield, Mr Extras added 22 to top the standings adding a little bit of respectability to the required total.

Weylin Alldridge did the bulk of the damage with the ball taking four wickets for seven runs. His 4.3 overs included three maidens which will do his season average no harm. Of the other Wanderers bowlers Dustin Alldridge took two wickets for 11 runs from a four over spell. Andrew Eina bowled eight overs taking 2/17. His spell included three maidens. Jamie Carnell (1/12 from four) was the other successful bowler.

Chasing 83 to win Wanderers never looked anything but in command of the game. It took the opening partners, Tim Harslett (48) and Andrew Einam (47) less than 12 overs to knock over the required runs.

RSL finished the season on 46 points a clear margin ahead of Wanderers (40) and South’s (36) who made a late bid for second spot.

Wanderers and Souths meet this weekend in the semi-final in what is sure to be a closely fought game if players from both sides are on their game. The successful team will play RSL in the Grand final on March 27. RSL will go into that game having not played for two weeks.
