Turning lane call

By Jess Baker $19.4 million upgrades to the New England Highway between Stanthorpe and Ballandean are not enough to guarantee drivers’ safety, according to a number of Glen Aplin residents.

Residents and users of Calvert Road are pleading for turning lanes and for speeds through Glen Aplin to be permanently dropped

allowing them to safely slow down out of the path of passing traffic,” said the spokesperson.

Calvert Road residents are not convinced the works will adequately address the problems at hand and are lost as to why TMR will not consider including turning lanes at the intersection when it has already committed to widening the road.

following a number of “near misses”, and say scheduled roadworks overlook major safety risks.

“The Department of (Transport and) Main Roads is spending millions on upgrades but they’re not improving the safety at all through our small village,” said Calvert Road resident Ian Harrison.

Warwick and Stanthorpe Today reader Glenn Neden (pictured) is one of 10 people who has won an iPad in a recent national survey on local news.

Mr Neden won the Apple iPad in a randomly selected draw as part of the survey, which received one of the biggest responses of all media surveys in Australia.

The survey, conducted late last year, is part of the largest-ever Australian study on how regional news can thrive in the digital era.

Deakin University, RMIT University and Country Press Australia, the peak regional media organisation, of which this newspaper is a member, are leading the study.

The three-year project has almost $250,000 backing from the Australian Research Council, one of the Federal Government’s main competitive research funding agencies.

More than 4000 people responded with their ideas and suggestions to improve newspaper coverage, with many passionate about their support for the future of both print and digital local news.

National preliminary findings include ...

There is continued strong demand (and passion) for the printed product in rural and regional Australia. Audiences indicate a preference for accessing news from their local masthead in print, and they would prefer to read a digital news site that has the look and layout of a printed newspaper. Audiences also overwhelmingly view a printed copy of their newspaper as an essential service for their community.

Audiences believe they should be invited to have a say about government policies and decisions affecting the future of local newspapers.

94 Palmerin Street, Warwick QLD 4370 - Tel 4661 9800 Editor - Jeremy Sollars - 0427 090 818 JOURNALIST JESS BAKER - 0435 811 571 SPORTS COLUMNIST CASEY O’CONNOR - spinsft@gmail.com

Jess Baker’s story in this week’s edition on the future of surplus council land (page 5) is timely given the Southern Downs Regional Council will soon start pulling together the first drafts of the 2021-2022 financial year budget.

The key parcel of land in question is the former Rosenthal Shire Depot off Glen Road and Willis Streets in Warwick, which is currently home to community radio station Rose City FM and formerly the Warwick Men’s Shed and the Warwick Woodcrafters.

But the land is also prime real estate - it’s one of the highest points of land in Warwick, has superb views to the north and east and is primarily ripe for residential redevelopment. Potentially when eventually sold - which is the council’s end-game for the parcel - it should net ratepayers a tidy sum which will go into the public coffers.

It’s worth remembering that the council is one of the region’s largest individual landowners, and the Rosenthal Depot site is not the only one surplus to the council’s current or likely future requirements.

The bigger picture here however is the budget, and the ability of the community to have a say in determining the council’s spending priorities. Given the council budget is the critical piece of work and document which directs the organisation’s activities over 12 months, that in turn leads to a discussion about how local people can both express their opinion and how their views are represented.

One example is the future structure of councillor representation. Currently the Southern Downs Regional Council is - like 56 out of 78 local councils in Queensland - an ‘undivided’ council, meaning councillors are elected to represent the ‘whole’ council area, rather than individual ‘divisions’ or wards.Interestingly though, of the 22 ‘divided’ councils in the state most of them are the major metro centres, with Toowoomba being one of the few exceptions here.

Make of that what you will - on the surface it would suggest people in smaller regional council areas are happy not to have a ‘local’ council representative for their part of the region. But this is not necessarily the case - even in the last couple of weeks a few people have remarked to me that they would prefer to have their own ‘ward’ or division representative to whom they can go directly with issues of concern or requests. Either way I’d be interested to know what readers think about that idea - feel free to have your say in a letter to the editor!

Highway safety concerns

By Jess Baker Work is underway on a $19.4 million project to improve safety on the New England Highway between Stanthorpe and Ballandean, but some Glen Aplin residents say the risk of fatal and serious injury crashes is as high as ever.

Residents and users of Calvert Road have long advocated for turning lanes and for speeds through the area to be permanently dropped, as existing road conditions are “very dangerous” and have caused “quite a lot of near misses”.

In light of such events, and with widening and resurfacing works set to begin at the intersection this month, residents Ian Harrison and Bob Strijland requested a meeting with the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR).

“We thought now would be the time to put in a turning lane because they’re already widening and working on the road,” said Bob. “All it would take is another metre width and some paint.”

But Bob said department officials told him and Ian that the extra cost associated with installing turning lanes was not justifiable.

“They basically said that because there hasn’t been a death or an accident, they can’t do anything,” said Bob. “They’re waiting for an accident to happen.”

A TMR spokesperson said works already planned for the New England Highway and Calvert Road intersection in Glen Aplin will provide a safer and more efficient road network for drivers.

“The upgraded intersection will have a onemetre-wide centre line, dedicated north and southbound lanes (each a minimum 3.5 metres wide) and sealed road shoulders on either side of the highway (about 2.5 metres wide),” said the spokesperson.

“The wider road shoulders will provide additional room for vehicles turning left from the New England Highway into Calvert Road, allowing them to safely slow down out of the path of passing traffic.

“Similarly, northbound vehicles will have additional room to safely pass vehicles turning right into Calvert Road.”

Bob said he and other Calvert Road residents are pleased to know the intersection will see some improvements, but the planned works fail to address the full scope of the problem.

“Widening the road will improve the safety of the road to a certain extent, but if you come down the road with a truck behind you that isn’t sticking to the speed limit it won’t help at all,” said Bob.

“When trucks are right on your tail there’s no room for error.

“It’s a half-hearted attempt at safety.”

Ian Harrison said some road users have resorted to turning off the New England Highway at the Liberty Glen Aplin Service Station and driving around the back to get to Calvert Road safely.

“The speed limit has been reduced to 40 kilometres per hour from the usual 80 due to roadworks, but it’s still extremely dangerous when turning left because trucks will not slow down,” said Ian. “We mentioned this to the department and they said, ‘we don’t have control over the speed limit’.

“The Department of (Transport and) Main Roads is spending millions on upgrades but they’re not improving the safety at all through our small village.

“We’re just asking for common sense to prevail.”

Ian said Calvert Road residents have been told that TMR is unlikely to construct turning lanes into the road as no serious incidents have occurred at the intersection.

“The Glen Aplin (Country Style) Caravan Park is getting a turning lane installed and we asked about that in our meeting with the department.

“We were told they got a turning lane because there’s been an accident there.”

Country Style Caravan Park is also located beside the New England Highway, less than three kilometres from Calvert Road, and will have a turning lane into the establishment included with road widening plans.

Owner of the caravan park Jamaine Thorburn said TMR’s decision to install a turning lane is the result of frequent accidents over the years.

“We’ve been here eight years and there have been four major incidents over that time, coming from both directions,” she said.

“Very sadly, those accidents are the reason we are getting a turning lane.”

Jamaine said it is understandable Calvert Road residents are calling for the same measures “being on the highway and it being so dangerous”.

Severe weather conditions and coastal flooding this week have seen increased traffic inland, through Glen Aplin, which residents say is only exacerbating the issues at hand.

A TMR spokesperson said road widening works at the New England Highway and Calvert Road intersection are scheduled to start later this month and should be completed by late April, weather and construction conditions permitting.

Local club recognised in national Good Sports Awards

By Jess Baker The Stanthorpe Amateur Swimming club has been recognised at the national Good Sports Awards as runner-up in the Queensland Club of the Year category.

Former club president and current vicepresident Shannon Armbruster said the significant achievement reflects the club’s unwavering commitment to its members’ health and wellness.

“To be runner-up club of the year is a massive achievement for a little club like ours,” said Shannon.

“We have a reputation for being one of the strongest clubs in the Darling Downs and we always promote clean, healthy sport.”

Shannon said the swimming club became a top level Good Sports club five years ago, meaning it provides a healthy, safe and family friendly environment and abides by a liquor licence, trains bar staff in Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA), ensures smoke free areas are available and has both an alcohol management policy and safe transport policy endorsed by its committee and communicated to members.

“All our initiatives promote safe sport and healthy eating,” said Shannon.

“We serve fruit at our events, provide water, make sure there’s always shade available for members and spectators ... we have about 20 shade tents.

“We provide our club with booklets and

He also won the boys 13 & Over 50m Freestyle Sprint championship race. Ben broke 6 DDRSA records at the meet.

Jessica Pradella won gold in the 11yrs 50m Free, 50m Backstroke, 100m Free and 100m Backstroke, silver in the 50m Butterfly and bronze in the 200m Freestyle.

Zoe Petrie swam in the 10yrs girls, placing 6th in the 50m Backstroke, 7th in the 50m Freestyle and Butterfly and Breaststroke.

Jordan Pradella won bronze in the 8yrs boys 50m Free, Backstroke and Breaststroke.

Emma Pradella placed 4th in the 8yrs girls 50m Backstroke and 6th in the 50m Freestyle and Butterfly.

Lillian Kendall swam in the 12yrs girls, contesting 9 events, placing 7th in the 100m Butterfly and top 25 for the other events.

Views on dam ...

In response to your article re Emu Swamp Dam on the 11 March. The photo is of Cr Marika McNichol at the “2nd crossing” on the Severn River at Ballandean, 9th February 2020. Showing a significant flow of about 3,000 litres per second / 10 ML per hour / 240 ML per day after recent good rainfall in the Accommodation Creek catchment. Two days of that sort of flow is sufficient to supply Stanthorpe with enough water for a year.

On the same morning, of 9th February, at the road crossing over the Severn River, just downstream of the Emu Swamp Dam site, the river was not running at all.

This year in early 2021 the same thing occurred, a good flow from Accommodation Creek into the Severn River and relatively little flow in the river at the Emu Swamp dam site.

If the Emu Swamp Dam construction was completed at it’s present site 10 years ago, the dam filled during the heavy rain events of 2011 and 2013 and the dam was full of water prior to this drought, there would be no water for irrigation in it now for the 2021 or the previous 2020 vegetable and fruit growing seasons because; 1. it would have been evaporated and pumped “dry” at the end of the 2019 vegetable and fruit growing season.

2. none of the significant flows of water from Accommodation Creek during the last 2 years would have flowed into Emu Swamp Dam. If the 12,000 ML Emu Swamp Dam was constructed 10 years ago on the Severn River below Accommodation Creek, it would still have a significant quantity of water in it now from the flows during the last 2 years, enough to supply Stanthorpe with water and a limited amount of irrigation water. The trucks carting water from Connolly Dam to Storm King Dam could have stopped carting water 12 months ago.

Like the caption said in relation to a photo, at the 2019 or 2020 Stanthorpe show, of a large flood in Accommodation Creek at the bridge on the New England Highway saying “Once it is gone it is gone”, because that sort of flood water flowing down Accommodation Creek won’t be flowing into Emu Swamp Dam. Yes, it will be gone.

Getting a sufficient quantity of water from the Murray Darling is going to be impossible.

In the Queensland Border Rivers Intergovernmental Agreement 2008, NSW has access to 57%, about 145,000 ML of the 254,000 ML stored in Glenlyon Dam, or approx. 30,000 ML per year, water from the Pikes Creek catchment in the Southern Downs. Isn’t it fair enough that if NSW can have 30,000 ML per year of “our” water, why can’t NSW return the favour and we have 30,000 ML per year of “their” water?

2. Constructing a 100 metre + deep, 200,000 + ML dam with a 35,000 ML annual yield on the Severn River downstream of Accommodation Creek, to store and more importantly, supply a significant quantity of water for future severe droughts as we are experiencing now.

After reading the editorial regarding the control of cats I felt constrained to express my feelings on the subject.

I also have in the past owned both cats and dogs. Dogs as working dogs on properties but never as house, or even yard, pets. We had a cat many years ago until it came to our attention just how dangerous it was to have them as “mousers” in hay sheds. They carry a disease that causes abortion in livestock and in humans. As a primary producer, whose main income was from livestock, an abortion storm was not something we needed.

At present living in town I do not have any pets.

I do agree that it is unfair that dog owners have to have their animals registered and cat owners do not have this expense.

My main problem is the neighbourhood marauders who roam about unchecked and use my gardens as their toilets! I have several free roaming moggies in this area and have spent a lot of money replacing plants that they have destroyed digging holes. I have tried different varieties of repellents with limited results.

My other problem is with the number of native birds they destroy. The idea of a bell around the neck to alert birds is nothing but a joke. I can attest to seeing a number of cats with bells around their necks and birds in their mouths.

The only solution to these problems seems to be compulsory registration, de sexing of both male and female animals, unless you are a registered breeder, and containing them inside or in enclosures if they are outside.

Responsible pet ownership is the answer and if this requires registration ..so be it. Dog owners have had to register their working dogs or pets for years.

Our family caring for your family

The Southern Downs and Granite Belt saw a significant surge in visitor numbers last year, with 3600 extra visitors stopping by the region’s visitor information centres between October and December 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

The Granite Belt has continued to host great visitation since initial state lockdown measures were relaxed in May last year, even through its usual slow period of the year.

A number of new businesses have opened up, attracting both local residents and tourists alike, such as the Granite Belt Grazing Gals, Sabo on Severn and Kurrajong Cottages.

Visitor numbers recorded at the Stanthorpe Visitor Information Centre have been consistently higher than that recorded at the Warwick Visitor Information Centre, though both have reported numbers in 2020 not seen in previous years.

Despite Covid-induced visitor information centre closures and event cancellations in 2020, the Stanthorpe Visitor Information Centre recorded a total of approximately 19,500 visitors in 2020 compared to an approximate 18,500 in 2019.

The Warwick Visitor Information Centre, which faced similar Covid-induced closures and event cancellations, recorded a total of approximately 9100 visitors in 2020 compared to an approximate 15,900 in 2019.

Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC)

staff told councillors at a February ordinary meeting that the difference in figures between visitor information centres could be due to the fact the Stanthorpe Visitor Information Centre has a cafe and is “more of a destination” than the Warwick Visitor Information Centre.

That said, it is not clear how accurate Visitor Information Centre figures are as an indication of tourism - especially considering how many visitors would find information about events and destinations online.

Figures recorded by the Warwick Visitor Information Centre for the months of October, November and December 2020 outperformed 2019 but SDRC staff acknowledge “it is difficult to determine the significance of these results due to the impact of the 2019/2020 bushfires”.

Council staff told councillors at an Information Session last week (17 March) that the region’s sunflower crops have proved to be excellent for tourism, and a proposal for the Southern Downs to host a ‘Sunflower Festival’ is expected to be tabled at an upcoming council meeting.

Southern Downs councillor Stephen Tancred said the visitor numbers were a great sign for the region.

“I think people have either discovered or rediscovered the Southern Downs and Granite Belt since Covid-19 changed our lives early last year,’ he said.

“It made people see what delights were available closer to home.”

Investigation continues Queensland Police Forensic Crash Unit officers were this week investigating a fatal traffic crash overnight on Monday which claimed the life of a young local man.

Police said preliminary investigations indicated that at approximately 10.20pm on Monday night a truck travelling south on the New England Highway collided with a sedan travelling in the opposite direction, near the intersection with McGlew Street.

“The driver of the car, a local man in his twenties, died at the scene,” a police spokesman said.

“A female passenger of the car and the male truck driver were not physically injured.”

Investigations were continuing at time of printing of Stanthorpe Today this week and the name of the deceased man had not been released.

Childcare closure?

Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) has decided to commence public consultation on the potential closure of Stanthorpe’s only major Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) centre.

The decision follows the recent closure of another OSHC and vacation care centre, ’Stanthorpe Cool Kids’, and the upcoming expiry of its lease at Corundum Street.

If SDRC does decide to close the Stanthorpe OSHC, parents will have no other option but to transfer to the only other OSHC provider in Stanthorpe, Aussie Kindies Early Learning, which is licensed to educate and care for 61 children per day.

Given the fact the Stanthorpe OSHC currently cares for 73 children from 60 families, it is likely a number of people will be left in the lurch should SDRC decide to close the centre.

Rates payment reminder The Southern Downs Regional Council says with the half yearly rate notices due soon “we kindly reminds residents that the 7.5% discount applicable within the extended 60-day discount period will not apply to payments made after the due date of 26 March 2021”.

“In supporting the community through COVID-19 at an estimated cost of more than $1.4m, Southern Downs Regional Council made a number of significant changes to how rates and charges were issued in 2020/2021 to provide additional financial respite to ratepayers. “{Council moved from a single annual rates notice to two six-monthly notices aimed at easing the financial burden on ratepayers and businesses during unprecedented trio of challenges which included drought, bushfires and a global pandemic.”

Mayor Vic Pennisi said “providing for the community and meeting expectations is not easy and not cheap”.

“The funds received from ratepayers are invested directly back into your community to provide important infrastructure and services that make our region a better place to live, work, stay and play,” he said.

“Maintaining our sporting fields, libraries, parks and playgrounds, waste management and providing community services are all made possible through your rates.

“Rates also support initiatives focused on protecting our environment and maintaining our roads, bridges and footpaths.

“Residents who pay their current general rates in full on or before the 26 March due date will still be able to benefit from the 7.5% discount.

Land sell-off on the table

By Jess Baker

Council-owned land at Willi Street could soon be up for grabs, as Rose City FM and the Warwick Men’s Shed are moved from the site. ity to Council staff, machinery and contracted staff,” said the spokesperson.

The entire Willi Street site is more than 20,000 square metres (five acres) in size and could generate substantial revenue for Council if sold.

And with SDRC in the process of preparing its 2021-22 budget, now is the time to consider potential revenue gains.

A Council spokesperson said SDRC’s yearly budget process and rates assessment is guided by projected revenue and expenditure forecasts for the following year.

“This projected revenue may or may not include revenue from land sales,” said the spokesperson.

The last major sell-off by SDRC was land at the Warwick Aerodrome at Massie, which

raised nearly $600,000 in revenue.

11 blocks of Council land within the aerodrome precinct were sold to private buyers between 2016 and 2019, with most properties eventually being developed with hangar and living facilities.

It is likely similar revenues could be raised

by SDRC for sale of the Willi Street site given its size and location, should SDRC decide to sell.

12484895-SG10-21

Plans to relocate Warwick’s Rose City FM from Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) owned land at Willi Street to Queens Park at Alice Street have progressed, raising questions about what SDRC will do with its soon-to-be vacant site.

This comes just six months after the relocation of the Warwick Men’s Shed and Warwick Woodcrafters from the Willi Street site to its new location at Activity Street.

Warwick Men’s Shed spokesperson Ian Stevens said he was advised by a previous administration that SDRC has plans to sell the old Men’s Shed building and land to housing developers.

“The old Men’s Shed and the triangle block just below it will be cut up for housing lots as I understand it,” said Ian. A Council spokesperson said SDRC will undertake a full analysis of both lots at the Willi Street site, including the potential sale of the land.

“This will also involve the future of the infrastructure presently located on the land and an assessment of any contamination of the former depot site,” said the spokesperson.

“Council staff continually review and assess land and assets to ascertain the best future use in the community’s interest.

“This may also result in the disposal of the asset.”

Warwick and Stanthorpe Today understands there is a water main located beneath the Willi Street site that would make construction of new infrastructure complicated at the very least.

A Council spokesperson said water mains can be protected by easements where required.

“Easement conditions would prevent infrastructure from being constructed directly over water mains and would also allow accessibil-

$30m upgrades needed

By Jess Baker Southern Downs councillors have been told they will need to find an additional $30 million to repair failing sewerage systems following a meeting with the Queensland Department of Environment and Science (DES).

Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) Manager of Water Lalji Rathod told councillors at an Information Session last week that SDRC has a “history of non-compliance” that needs to be addressed.

“Under the Environmental Protection Act 1994, Council has two priorities… its general environmental duty and its duty to notify of environmental harm,” he said.

“We (SDRC) have reported 55 incidents since 2015… that’s 31 Stanthorpe incidents and 24 Warwick incidents.”

Lalji said the high number of reported incidents is more a “symptom of failing systems” than an indication of Council’s commitment to its duty to notify of environmental harm.

“We are in the top five percent (in the state) for reporting incidents,” he said.

“This is not a situation to be proud of.”

Since 2015, across both Warwick and Stanthorpe, SDRC has had five formal warnings, a statutory order, 18 Quart Pot Creek discharge events, two penalty infringement notices, one draft Environmental Protection Order (EPO), one Environmental Evaluation, one EPO and a discharge of treated effluent to Lyndhurst Stud.

“The next steps for us include a commitment to invest an additional $30 million over the next five years,” said Lalji.

In addition to this spend, he said SDRC must replace the Stanthorpe Sewage Treatment Plant under a condition of its Environmental Authority and increase spending in the medium term to break the “boom bust cycle”

Manager of Water Lalji Rathod said SDRC has had 18 Quart Pot Creek discharge events since 2015. and mitigate risk.

SDRC Asset Management Coordinator Elle Pembroke said these measures are not being suggested to Council but are a requirement of Council.

“Ensuring these steps are taken is in no way gold plating our assets… this is the bare minimum,” she said.

“Asset management practices and a condition assessment program are key to ensuring we’re not in this situation again in five years’ time.

“We need to put an end to the pattern of non-compliance we’ve had in the last five

years or so.”

The stern advice to councillors follows three recent wastewater overflows from SDRC sewerage systems, all of which are being investigated by DES. The latest incident occurred less than four weeks ago, over the last weekend of February, and was reported to DES for its consideration “as part of Council’s general environmental duty”.

It is not yet known what caused the overflow at the Warwick Sewage Treatment Plant or whether contaminants reached the Condamine River, but Lalji confirmed DES issued

an EPO to SDRC to undertake specific biosolid management duties shortly after the spill.

It is understood DES and SDRC met on Monday 15 March to discuss how SDRC can improve its systems.

One week before the “possible pollution incident” was announced, an overflow from Warwick’s McEvoy Street pump station spilled into Bracker Creek on Friday 19 February.

A Council spokesperson blamed aging infrastructure and poor maintenance procedures by previous administrations for the overflow and said SDRC is planning and budgeting to address the issue.

Just days before the McEvoy Street incident, on Saturday 13 February, a “switchboard failure” at the Killarney pump station caused an overflow of approximately 200 kilolitres from a sewer pump on site.

A Council spokesperson said 26,000 litres of overflow was captured in emergency storage tanks with no inflow to waterways.

Lalji explained at last week’s Information Session that while capacity constraints exist at both Warwick and Stanthorpe sewage treatment plants, recent frequent incidents are the result of a “combination of many things”.

“They could be the result of not-so-functional treatment facilities,” he said.

“But our sewerage systems are failing for a number of different reasons.”

Councillors discussed and voted on plans for two separate upgrade projects at the Warwick Sewage Treatment Plant – budgeted at a total of $700,000 – in yesterday’s ordinary meeting.

Updates will be provided as they are available, so keep an eye on www.warwickstanthorpetoday.com.au and upcoming print editions for more information.

Dam levels being watched At time of printing of Warwick Today and Stanthorpe Today this week the region was rejoicing in the biggest rainfall since February 2020 - along with navigating flooded roads in places. Warwick’s Leslie Dam is up by about 1% to just over 13% and also of particular note was Stanthorpe’s Storm King

Dam, which had risen well over 1.5 metres by the end of Tuesday - a great result, but will it be enough to mean the end of water carting from Warwick, or perhaps a pause? We’ve asked the council what they think - updates online this week at www.warwickstanthorpetoday.com.au

Vaccine roll-out begins

By Jeremy Sollars Popular Warwick Hospital doctor Chris Hegerty rolled up his sleeve last week as the first ‘phase 1a frontline health worker’ in the Southern Downs to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Senior Medical Officer Dr Hegerty said it was a privilege to be among the first to receive the vaccination.

“People throughout the Darling Downs have done a great job in helping to minimise the spread of COVID-19,” Dr Hegerty said.

“We need that to continue and being vaccinated is one of the easiest things we can all do to keep managing this virus.

“The importance of keeping our frontline medical teams healthy and protected from the severity of COVID-19 can’t be overstated.

“We need to stay fit and well to provide medical care to our communities and that’s why we’re here today to have our vaccination.”

Queensland Health has not yet provided a localised timeframe around when the general public in the Warwick and Stanthorpe areas can receive a vaccine.

The vaccine used today at Warwick Hospital was the AstraZeneca vaccine, the use of which has been suspended this week by several European countries - including Germany and France - after concerns over its potential to cause blood clots.

But Australia’s chief medical officer Paul Kelly said there is “no evidence” the vaccine causes blood clots and said the rollout of the vaccine will be “monitored closely”.

Staff at Warwick Hospital - and later members of the public - will be monitored for 30

Director of Medical Services Southern Darling Downs Blair Koppen gets his ‘Covid jab’. minutes after their jab for any reactions.

A number of rooms at Warwick Hospital have been specifically set aside for administration of COVID-19 vaccines.

A Queensland Health spokesman said the COVID-19 vaccine is free, safe, effective and is an important step to take to reduce the serious effects of COVID-19 in people who become infected with the virus.

“We will continue to vaccinate others in Phase 1a, including priority frontline health care workers, priority quarantine and border workers,” the spokesman said.

“Aged care and disability care workers and residents are also being vaccinated in Phase 1a however the vaccination rollout for this group is being managed by the Australian Government Health Department.

“All Queenslanders, will have their time to receive the vaccine.

Dr Chris Hegerty receives his COVID-19 AstraZeneca vaccine from RN Samantha Taaffe at Warwick Hospital.

AstraZeneca rollout is Warwick’s Condamine Medical Centre.

Spokesman Dr Lynton Hudson this week told Warwick and Stanthorpe Today the first ‘wave’ of vaccines would be for existing patients in the 70-plus age group, followed by those with chronic medical conditions.

All of those patients will be contacted directly by the centre from this week and offered a vaccine shot, with another due in 12 weeks.

Bookings will be made for after-hours times, including part of Saturday, and where applicable will be combined with flu shots.

Patients with previous reactions to vaccines will have that information on record and all those receiving the Covid-19 vaccine will be closely monitored afterwards as a precaution.

General rollout of the vaccine to the rest of the centre’s patient list is likely to get under way in May.

From coffee to Christianity: A new minister for Allora

By Tania Phillips From selling coffee to parish priest newly ordained Reverend Mathew Skelton believes he has found his calling.

Rev Matthew has swapped a job as a barista for a new role as Anglican priest of AlloraClifton moving from Toowoomba with his wife Doctor Ellie Skelton and two young children to take up the role in December last year.

The Skelton’s moved into the Allora Rectory late last year after the retirement of Archdeacon Laurel Raymond.

“I started in the role in December last and it’s been going pretty well so far,” he said.

“I was ordained December last year and this is my first parish. It’s a little bit of a change.”

He said it was “in some way” something he

had always wanted to do.

“The way we talk about it is in our faith is being called to it - there is always a sense of call to some kind of ministry, it just happened to go in this way,” Rev Matthew.

“I had always strong in my faith and my dad was a Baptist minister and my brother has done a bit of ministry.”

So why Anglican rather than following his father’s path.

“Oh that’s a very long story,” he chuckled.

“If I was to crystalize it, I think the Anglican way gives you a deeper - I’ll use the word communion because that’s what we use - it’s a sense of connection, of communion with Christians all around the world and throughout history. It’s a bit of an airy fairy way to describe it but its about as succinct as I could get.”

While its not a regular career move these days Rev Matthew his friends and family have been supportive recognizing there is a sense of calling to a role this.

Growing up in Toowoomba knew the Allora area but not very well and has been living around the country over the past few years living in Brisbane, Geelong and Ballarat - following is wife as she went to medical school in Victoria.

Reverend Skelton said he had received a warm welcome from the community who were pleased not to wait for a replacement for Archdeacon Raymond.

“I was a student under the previous minister and she retired at the end of the year and they were happy have someone come in straight away,” he explained.

“It is definitely very beautiful here.”

Council survey on cats open for another week The Southern Downs Regional Council is continuing to seek 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 next Thursday 1 April and is available on the council website at www.sdrc.qld.gov.au A council spokeswoman 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,” the spokeswoman said.

“With an average of 700 cats per year impounded on the Southern Downs and almost half of those deemed feral, project funding has 08 TODAY Thursday, 25 March, 2021

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.”

SDRC’s Manager of Environmental and Regulatory Services Craig Magnussen said the survey would “help shape the Council’s strat-

egy 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 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.”

Future is in good hands

By Jeremy Sollars The next generation of Queensland’s cattle and sheep industries took centre stage at the 2021 Warwick Show with local schools - and those from further afield - and young producers shining a light on the sector this year, and showing off some of the best in breeding stock.

The last few years of drought have seen many breeding females of both kinds sold off by producers, with implications for the next decade or more in many cases but last weekend was proof there is every reason to continue to be optimistic.

There were record numbers particularly in the Stud Sheep section of the show with a very crowded judging pen at the Warwick Showgrounds last Saturday and a strong crossrepresentation of breeds both from this region and elsewhere.

But stud cattle and sheep competitions are not just about the stock - young judges and junior paraders also had the opportunity to showcase their skills and hone their techniques in front of appreciative audiences.

Clearly the future of both the local beef and sheepmeat sectors is bright thanks to youthful enthusiasm and a willingness to learn - congratulations to our local young people ‘off the land’ for a top class of competition ...

Youth are our future...

Local cattle producer Marty Worboys was among the legion of young people from our region’s beef and sheep industries who shone at the 2021 Warwick Show. Marty began showing cattle while in Year 7 at The Scots PFC College. He won Junior Champion Heifer and took out third place in the Prime Cattle judging at the Show.

Marty was also recognised as the third annual winner of the Pat Flynn Shield of Excellence, in honour of the legendary cattleman. Marty is pictured here with Emma Thompson who presented him with the shield last Saturday following the Stud Cattle section. Marty runs Limousin breeding operation Calinda Cattle Co at Mount Marshall near Allora.

Inter-school competition was fierce but friendly.

Junior Paraders had the opportunity to finetune their skills at the 2021 Warwick Show, demonstrating the future is in good hands.

OUR REGION’S BEST WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Q&A

with Courtney Walsh

to do every day...

Our ‘Q&A’ subject this week is Warwick Credit Union Marketing Officer COURTNEY WALSH ... thanks to Courtney for being a good sport!

What is your favourite spot in our region?

I really enjoy going out to Queen Mary Falls! I don’t get the time to go out as often as I used to but it’s a great place and always my go to answer for people who are visiting Warwick and are looking for something to do.

What was the best concert you’ve ever been to?

That’s a hard one! I’m going to have to say it was the first concert I ever went to, my mum and dad actually took me. It was at the Crossing Theatre in Narrabri and it was Jimmy Barnes, Ian Moss, Dragon, Chocolate Starfish and Baby Animals. It was just a great experience to share with my parents and the acts were unbelievable!

What do you do to relax?

I’ve recently started taking long walks while listening to music. What started as stress relief has now turned into an addiction! I feel strange now when I few days pass and I haven’t gone for my walk!

What’s something people may not know about you?

That for a marketing officer I am actually a very shy person - especially when it comes to public speaking!

What has been your most memorable moment and why?

Honestly? The phone call I received to say I had gotten the job at WCU. I was going through a lot at the time and it felt like it was the start of things beginning to look up - and it really was!

What event - past, present or future - would you like to witness?

I really wish I could stick around and see what the future is going to look like, I always think about what I’m going to miss out on.

Which six guests - dead or alive - would be invited to your ultimate dinner party?

THREE … things

1. My brother Sean, he sadly passed four years ago...

2.& 3. My parents - would be rude not to!

4. Freddie Mercury - I’ve seen Bohemian Rhapsody about 50 times and I think we’d get along great!

5. Carl Barron because why wouldn’t you, he’s hilarious!

6. Jensen Ackles ... for any one who knows who he is I don’t think I need to explain why.

What’s the best book you’ve read?

Any Goosebumps book - Phantom of the Auditorium is by far my favourite... I read it when I was 12 and to this day I find myself thinking about the twist at the end! Also the Harry Potter books!

What advice would you give your 21 year old self?

Be very careful who you trust.

1

Express gratitude It will make you happier.

It will improve your relationships.

It can make you a better person.

It can make life better for everyone around you.

2

Meditate Meditation can increase happiness, meaning in life, social support and attention span while reducing anger, anxiety, depression and fatigue. Along similar lines, prayer can make you feel better — even if you’re not religious.

3

Challenge yourself Learning another language can keep your mind sharp.

Music lessons increase intelligence. Challenging your beliefs strengthens your mind.

Increasing willpower just takes a little effort each day and it’s more responsible for your success than IQ. Not getting an education or taking advantage of opportunities are two of the things people look back on their lives and regret the most.

BUSINESS PROFILE

Supporting business...

When you decide to have a change of career direction and take on the challenge - and responsibility - of becoming a business owner and an employer it’s good to know you have the locals backing you up all the way.

For Gary and Kim Zerner the choice of Warwick Credit Union for their business banking needs was an obvious and an easy one when they became the owners of Downs Heating, Cooling & Outdoors back in February of this year.

The business based on Warwick’s Grafton Street is a long-established one with only two owners before the Zerners, both of whom operated Downs Heating, Cooling & Outdoors for two decades each.

It started out as a small operation supplying wood heaters, hot water systems, LPG (bottled gas), gas heaters, BBQ’s and installation services to Warwick and surrounding areas in 1980.

Since then it has grown to be a trusted business sending products Australia-wide along with USA, New Zealand, Germany, Canada, Denmark and UK. The Zerners are no strangers to business life - Gary has a background in sales and business development and Kim is an accountant - and since February they’ve thrown themselves into their new venture. And despite the long hours any business owner knows all about they are relishing the big change.

And this month Downs Heating, Cooling & Outdoors are the featured business in a special Warwick Credit Union promotion for new savings customers - if you open a new account between now and April 30 you’ll go into the draw to win a $250 gift certificate to spend with Gary and Kim in any way that takes your fancy.

With the cooler months now ahead of us heating accessories would be a sure-fire winner on that list.

“From a business banking point of view we just really like Warwick Credit Union’s approach,” Gary Zerner said.

Gary and Kim Zerner are the proud owners of Downs Heating, Cooling & Outdoors, having taken over the business at the start of February this year.

Local faces - and here to work with your business.

“They share our values and personally there’s just a real level of comfort in knowing that you’re dealing with locals who understand your local business.

“We like the fact that we can walk in the door and talk to familiar faces when we need to.

“And it’s good to know they’ll be right there across the table when any challenges arise.

“From our perspective Kim and I are just really proud to own a local business and to employ local people.

“We’ve been putting in some long hours over the last couple of months.

“We have local, interstate and international customers - its been an eye-opener for us but it’s extremely rewarding.”

Warwick Credit Union Marketing Officer Courtney Walsh said the gift certificate promotion was a simply way of acknowledging the support of local people who choose the credit union for their savings account needs.

“It’s also another way for us to show our support for local business people like Gary and

Kim,” Courtney said.

“We’re very proud of the partnership role we play in working with businesses in the region.

“We hope it will be an ongoing style of promotion we’ll be doing.”

Here’s the latest contribution from the Rose City Writers - this week from BEVERLEY JACKSON...

The End Justifies the Means The size eleven shoebox in my old shed had been left there for the taking; and I Clarrie McDinnie was just the man for the taking. It contained forty thousand pounds and I knew who put it there. After all the sorrow since the murder of my good pal Gimbie; I deserved it. I paid my outstanding bills and put the rest into the Four Leaf Clover Bank, for safekeeping.

So there I was sitting in my comfy chair, feeling rather satisfied with life and watching a rerun of Father Ted, when there was a knock at my door. I opened it to be met by a fierce looking Leprechaun, who I well knew; by the name of Stinkwood.

“Give me back me money you thieving devil,” he yelled into my kneecap.

“Now, what are you mumbling about?” I say, knowing full well.

“Me money, give it to me,” Stinky demanded.

“What money would that be now?”

“Don’t act all innocent,” he growled, “Why would I have your rotten money?”

“Because, you found my shoebox!”

“Since when did you wear size eleven shoes or was that a present for your lady loves’ big plates of meat?”

“Mind yer business,” he spat at me.

“No need to get all nasty Mr Stinkwood.”

He ran between my legs and into my house, and started poking about. Finding nothing, he ran into my kitchen.

“Hey, hey!” I say, “you’re trespassing, you nasty little man.” I grabbed him by the scruff.

He glared at me, feet flaying wildly in the air.

“Let me go!”

“Let’s talk, shall we?” I say.

“Give me my dough or I’ll put a curse on you.”

“A curse?” I say, “Well I know Leprechaun Law, and as long as I keep me eye on you, you can’t do a bloomin’ thing.”

He looked about to explode. Not fancying Stinkwood pieces all over my house, I said.

“Well let me tell you, what I know about you and your accomplice Molly. You’re both wanted because you killed Gimbie, Molly’s hus-

band, for his gold. And the dough in the shoebox was your secret stash for a quick getaway.

Not easy when you’re on the run carting heavy gold is it?”

Stinky stopped wriggling and gave an evil smile, “Ha! It be hard for ye to keep me under your gaze Mc Dinnie, seeing as me beloved Molly is about to murder ye also.”

“Don’t think that I’ll fall for that old trick,” I say.

I shoulda believed him, for an almighty blow sent me sprawling, forcing me to release my criminal detainee. Before I blacked out, I caught a glimpse of Stinky’s partner in crime the widow Molly O’Gorman standing over me with a sledge hammer and a look of ghastly murder in her eyes.

Sometime later, mercifully, I revived to find the house in darkness. The moonlight showed my kitchen floor to be covered with spilt milk, smashed eggs, broken plates and flour. It made me blood boil. I was covered head to toe in the sticky muck and I knew that if I got myself anymore steamed up, I was sure I’d bake myself into a double layered sponge cake.

Through the window I could just make out the stupid pair searching my old shed by torchlight. Like Gimbie, I too had been left for dead by these dastardly characters. When I glimpsed myself in the darkened mirror, I nearly jumped out of my batter coating, but it was then I knew what to do.

They were making such a racket they didn’t hear me coming; so I threw a brick at them. It missed of course; I never was good at throw ball as a kid. They turned and saw - me - well what they thought was the ghost of me, holding a hurricane lamp and covered with the contents of my kitchen floor, I must’ve looked a right real apparition.

I said, in my most ghostly voice, “I’ve no need for the money now. Look in the cellar.”

“Cellar!” they screeched.

“The one I used for keeping me Guinness.”

I continued in my best otherworldly voice, “You’re standing on the trap door.”

“We don’t see no door,” they chortled. I smiled inwardly, at my clever plan. It was then I pulled the lever. What lever, you ask? You see my old shed was once a motor workshop and

the waste oil was flushed out that way. Anyway, away they went down the drain, heading for the sewerage works.

Immediately I phoned Constable O’Conner telling him I’d just detoured the desperados, who after having trashed my house had left me for dead. O’Conner rushed to the sewerage plant to await the offenders.

I found my wallet amongst the mess; the twosome hadn’t twigged that one. My bank card where the rest of the shoebox stash resided was intact. So, I booked the honeymoon suite at the local. A spa bath and a large mug of Guinness to toast to the memory of my dear departed mate, I am sure will do me good.

And I deserve all of this I know, but I think I told you that before, haven’t I? And without a doubt I know, Gimbie would agree.

The Tug Experience Just like a travel brochure, it was idyllic; the soft lapping against the hull; sun setting over water in shades of red-orange melding into purpleblue. Wetting a line ... Doesn’t get much better!

I had my daughter to thank. Dad you should do some male bonding with Tug. He knows

boats. Tug, by the way is my future son-in-law.

Brawny bloke, built like a proverbial tugboat.

The boat-hire bloke said a possibility of storms. Tug had looked up at the clear blue sky and shook his head.

How wrong he was ...

It sure gets dark on the water when storm clouds roll in. Ocean and air become one black mass. Then lightening flashes and everything becomes as iridescent as a welder’s strobe.

Huge feral waves were crashing over the deck and the boat began jumping and bucking, reminding me of my rodeo days.

Hope this thing is water-tight, I yell. I then follow Tug’s gaze to the cabin floor. I don’t know much about boats, but one thing I do know. Start the bilge pump, I shout. Where would that be? Tug shouts back. And I thought he was a mariner ...

As the boat lunges and rolls and the lightening crackles and sizzles, like two drunken sailors we frantically despatch buckets of water. It was stay afloat or sink. Eventually to our relief, the storm passed and with it the inundation; drenched and exhausted we fell into our soggy bunks.

Next, Tug’s shaking me awake. The anchor’s dragging, he says. How’s that? I ask. See that light? He points excitedly. It’s the sea wall - entrance to the bar and onto the open sea. The outgoing tide was drawing us ruthlessly towards it.

I’m not a praying man but I say, God help us. How’d you stop it dragging? I ask anxiously.

Dunno. Better call the Coast Guard. Tug grabs the radio. Mayday ... Mayday ... No answer. It was then that I notice the power switch.

The helpful Coast Guard asks - did you try starting the motor? Tug gives me a look of dawning comprehension. He revs the engine into life and promptly lands us high and dry on a sandbar.

It was first light when eventually the incoming tide allowed us to float and head back to the marina. Tug says, wasn’t that awesome?

I say, of two things I am certain. Never will I leave terra firma again and if you marry my daughter, she must under no circumstances go boating with you.

The RAAF’s connection with The Scots PGC College

By John Telfer On 31st March 2021, the Royal Australian Air Force celebrates it’s centenary. Over the last 100 years it has seen rapid development from fixed - wing aircraft to supersonic jet planes and are now entering the space age. In 2018, the Scots PGC college at Warwick celebrated its centenary having been in existence since 1918, the year the Great War ended. The college has had a varied history, but one aspect of that history that needs to be profiled is the sacrifice that a group of ex-students made in World War 2, and its military connection to the Royal Australian Air Force.

This short story is about the formation and development of the Royal Australian Air Force with a corollary that deals with a College that has an impressive record of World War 2 personnel. In the year 2018, the Scots PGC college at Warwick, Queensland celebrated its centenary having been in existence since 1918, the year the great War ended. The college has a varied history, but in that period one important aspect of its history is the sacrifice that a group of ex- students made in World War 2 with a military connection to The Royal Australian Air Force. This can be better explained when the two histories are entwined.

The history of the RAAF began when Australia’s Prime Minister, Andrew Fisher, attended the first Imperial Conference held in London in 1911. The agenda for the dominion countries that attended the Conference, included debate on the use of aviation as an offensive weapon in warfare, hence, the formation of the Royal Flying Corps which was to become a unit of the military in World War 1.

When Prime Minister Fisher, and his Minister of Defence, returned to Australia they were convinced that this was an excellent concept of warfare. As a result, in July, 1913, the Central Flying School began at Point Cook, in Victoria.

The first commissioned flying instructors of the Australian Military Force were Lieutenant Eric Harrison and Lieutenant Henry Petre. It was first suggested it be formed at the Mili14 TODAY Thursday, 25 March, 2021

tary College, Duntroon, but ended up at Point Cook in July 1913.

In 1915, with the Australian Government supporting Britain in World War 1, the First Australian Imperial Force formed the Australian Flying Corps as part of its Citizen’s Military Forces, and recruited aircrew from the military for training. From 1915 to 1918, the recruitment drive produced a total of eightyone Australian airmen who became Air Aces over the Western Front and in the Middle East.

(An air ace was one who had shot down 5 or more of the enemy.) The first Australian airman to win the Victoria Cross in World War 1 was Lieutenant Frank McNamara flying with 149 squadron, Royal Flying Corps, who landed his plane in a hostile Palestine desert to rescue a downed airman, Captain Dave Rutherford.

Another highly decorated Australian airman at the time was Captain Edgar McCloughry, who won the Distinguished Service Order and also, the Distinguished Flying Cross and Bar. After World War 1 the flying units were disbanded, but in1920 the Australian Air Corps was formed and on 21st March 1921, King George V gave approval for the prefix Royal to be added. So, on 31st March 1921, the Royal

Australian Air Force came into existence.

When World War 2 broke out, the RAAF became an integral part of the allied forces that once again supported England, with the 2nd AIF in 1939 in the Middle East, and the British Empire Training Scheme on 29th April 1940.

The RAAF expanded greatly from 1941 so that by 1945, at its height, it had fifty- three squadrons in the Pacific and seventeen in Europe.

In 1942, Flight Sergeant Rawdon Middleton became the first official RAAF member to win the Victoria Cross in 1942. This was followed

by Flight Lieutenant William Newton who became the second RAAF Victoria Cross winner in 1943. Since that time, there has been no VC winners in the RAAF. From 1943 to 2021, major aircraft used in readiness ranged from fixed-wing Mustangs to the present- day F35 A “Lightning” jet fighters.

The corollary that this short history of the Air Force has, concerns a relatively small secondary college on the Darling Downs which has created a unique record with the RAAF. The school was Scots College, an all-boys boarding school in Warwick. However, due to the changing nature, structure, economics and operation in Independent Boarding Colleges as well as the demographics of student populations, the college is Scots PGC, a coeducational college. Of the three hundred and thirty enlistments from Scots College in World War 2, forty- two former members lost their lives in battle, and thus became a college legend known as the “Magnificent 42”. Of these forty- two heroes listed on the college’s Roll of Honour, thirty- five of these forty- two, enlisted into the RAAF, with 34 aircrew and one ground staff.There are possibly many other schools across the nation who have similar honour boards, but is rather unique that a small school totalling around one hundred students in 1942, could produce the number of RAAF aircrew who made the Supreme Sacrifice in World War 2. The Darling Downs region did produce other distinguished air force personnel, but just what was it that compelled the young men of Scots to answer the call?

One historian, the late Brian O’Grady thought that education may have been a factor, but this historian feels that the boarding house environment of close comradeship, team sports, and visits to the college by two ex-student airmen in Wilfred Arthur, and exteacher, George Avery was significant. They, by their presence, played an important role in the students appeal towards the RAAF. How impressive to the minds of young adolescents where these uniformed heroes sporting their wings and campaign medals, who came to the college assembly, to share their stories of high adventure over the skies of the battlefields in Europe and the Middle East.? Former teacher, George Avery, further thrilled the students when on his flight back to Townsville in October 1942, in a Beaufort aircraft, he diverted his northward journey to do a low- flying pass over the college’s temporary school at Toolburra Station, much to the delight and excitement of the one hundred students residing there. Sadly, two weeks later George crashed his plane off Magnetic Island near Townsville and there were no survivors.

Another aspect that also made these young men unique was the high number of bravery awards won by them. The awards included, two Distinguished Service Orders, seven Distinguished Flying Crosses, one British Empire Medal and one Distinguished Flying Medal. A very impressive record. It was this magnificent achievement, that saw the college honoured with a flyover by the RAAF Roulettes in October, 2007, as a tribute to these brave men.

In this centenary year the RAAF will commemorate the part it has played in other conflicts and peace keeping roles since World War 2. These include, Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. In the coming months the Air Force will acknowledge the changes that have occurred throughout this period of one hundred years, in member composition, equipment and aircraft, and honour battles fought and brave men lost. But what will remain, is the ability the Royal Australian Air Force has of reaching for the stars through adversity.

YourCommunity YourVoice Your Council THURSDAY 25 MARCH 2021

HEY YOU! Calling the region’s resilient youth to express themselves Southern Downs is home to many inspiring and resilient young people, and during the upcoming 2021 Queensland Youth Week, Council is calling on the region’s youth to express their creativity through a variety of engaging outlets.

Having been shaped and moulded by the challenges of recent times, our 12 – 25 year olds have demonstrated significant endurance and Council has planned a number of competitions to capture and celebrate individual viewpoints.

Long-time arts advocate, Southern

Downs Councillor Marco Gliori said Council was pleased to again support Youth Week and encouraged the region’s talented young and inquisitive minds to sign up for the Youth Week competitions.

“Our youth are our future and our voice. Their vision for the Southern Downs can be translated through the creative initiatives we are undertaking this year with Queensland Youth Week,” Councillor Gliori said.

“Council has opted in 2021 to play it safe with COVID-19 restrictions

ever-changing, and we will host an essay competition, a photo competition and a colouring competition, all with a focus on hearing directly from our young people in their own words and images.”

Queensland Youth Week is an annual event that celebrates young people and how they positively contribute to Queensland communities.

Want to learn more about Queensland Youth Week 2021.

Visit www.sdrc.qld.gov.au for more information.

Act now to receive 7.5% discount on your rates With the half yearly rate notices due soon, Council kindly reminds residents that the 7.5% discount applicable within the extended 60day discount period will not apply to payments made after the due date of 26 March 2021.

In supporting the community through COVID-19 at an estimated cost of more than $1.4m, Council moved from a single annual rates to two six-monthly notices to provide additional financial respite to ratepayers.

Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi

said “Providing for the community and meeting expectations is not easy and not cheap. The funds received from ratepayers are invested directly back into your community to provide important infrastructure and services that make our region a better place to live, work, stay and play.

“Maintaining our sporting fields, libraries, parks and playgrounds, roads, bridges, footpaths and waste management and providing community services are all funded through your rates.”

Ratepayers who are having difficulty

paying their rates and charges are encouraged to contact Council to arrange a confidential payment agreement to pay off their rates in smaller more manageable amounts.

The 2020/21 Annual Budget delivered a zero per cent rate rise until the end of 2020 to support the community and regional economy throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

The actual rise of 1.9%, the lowest in more than a decade, was offset by a COVID-19 Concession, which equated to no cost increase to rate payers for the first six months of the financial year.

$230k event funding up for grabs Event organisers can share in up to $230,000 of funding, with Round Two of Council’s Local Events Funding Program now open.

Events to be staged between 1 July 2021 and 30 June 2022 on the Southern Downs can boost their marketing or other components of their event through the program.

In Round One of the program, Council awarded over $150,000 in funding to ten event organisers, including the Warwick Caledonian Society which hosted its 150th Scottish Celebration and Pipe Band Muster in early March.

Chieftain of the Warwick Caledonian Society, Alexander Manfield said the funding was instrumental in helping them deliver a successful event to 1500 attendees, and encouraged other

event organisers to apply for Round Two. “Look at how your event benefits the region, its businesses and tourism. Use the resources available on the Southern Downs Regional Council and Tourism and Events Queensland websites to help put your application together,” Mr Manfield said.

Southern Downs Councillor Marco Gliori said the program is helping to reinvigorate the Southern Downs events industry.

“The positive economic impact and sense of local pride that a successful event brings to our region is significant,” Cr Gliori said.

“Every event on the Southern Downs means jobs for venue workers, caterers, photographers, cleaners and opportunities for our businesses.

“I encourage anyone with an idea for an event that attracts visitors to our region to apply for round two of this program.”

Applications close on 25 April 2021.

Please visit the Council website to view the program criteria, guidelines and application process at https:// www.sdrc.qld.gov.au/doingbusiness/grants-to-community-radf/ local-events-funding-program.

Top 5 activities over Easter Easter is a wonderful time to be on the Southern Downs and Granite Belt. The weather is cooler and the landscape is changing colours, making for that perfect holiday in the country.

Whether it’s an adventure holiday hiking, mountain biking, fishing or a cosy long weekend away with a loved one, we have it all right here. We’ve done some research and here are our top five suggestions: 1. Book a campsite and roast marshmallows by the fire. There are still some picturesque camping spots available.

2. Enjoy the Warwick Easter Market Fair on Saturday 3 April at Leslie Park, featuring locally made arts and crafts.

3. Experience the magic of a steam train ride from Warwick to Wheatvale on the Downs Explorer on Sunday 4 April with an optional BBQ on the platform prior to departure.

4. Take a self-guided bicycle tour through the vineyards with Granite Belt Tours & Hire, enjoying the wine tasting and scenery as you go.

5. Enjoy traditional jazz over a happy afternoon of wine, food and song at Fine Vintage Jazz + Blues + Rock @ Heritage Estate Winery on Sunday 11 April.

The Guide TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

TUESDAY

ANH’S BRUSH WITH FAME SATURDAY

ABC TV, 8pm

CALL THE MIDWIFE ABC TV, 8.30pm

The ladies of Poplar are old hands when it comes to the high and lows of life in the birthing suite. Ardent fans of this classy ’60s period drama rightly expect a double-dose of the good stuff in the show’s season finale. In tonight’s season nine send-off, there is a lot to digest. The show’s prognosis doesn’t look sunny when Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) receives a letter from the council informing her that they will cut funding to Nonnatus House.

SATURDAY

THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM NINE, 8.30pm

Thinking person’s action hero Matt Damon (right) returns as Jason Bourne, the renegade spy with a serious grudge against his former CIA employers. Director Paul Greengrass returns for the third in the series and mounts a heartpounding thrill ride that will leave you gasping for breath as the amnesiac assassin travels from the rooftops of Tangiers to the streets of Manhattan in his ongoing quest for exoneration.

Ably filled with a cast of the old (Joan Allen, Julia Stiles) and the new (Paddy Considine, David Strathairn, Albert Finney), this Oscar-winning, adrenalin-pumped adventure is possibly the finest of the smash-hit trilogy.

SATURDAY

THE BIG SHORT SBS, 8.30pm

Bold, ambitious, bursting with talent and wit, Adam McKay’s (Anchorman) epic, fast and intelligent revue of the 2008 Wall Street meltdown will leave you exhilarated by its panache and fuming at the greediness and arrogance of banks. Starring Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling (above), Brad Pitt and Marisa Tomei, McKay makes the complications of the credit crunch easy to understand as we follow several parallel stories, beginning with hedge fund manager Michael (Bale) recognising that the US housing market is in a bubble, and betting on its demise.

What follows is a mindboggling and energetic trip that beggars belief.

It’s no surprise that the affable and talented Anh Do (below) returns tonight with a sixth season of his in-depth chat show and art show hybrid. Poised with his paintbrush and an inquisitive disposition, Do has a knack for revealing a fresh side to his wellknown guests, where childhood, family, work and health are all open for discussion. The reveal of the guest’s painted portrait at the episode’s conclusion is an entertaining flourish, particularly if you are trying to gauge the guest’s true reaction. Tonight, his subject is a pro with plants and no stranger to being halfnaked on stage: landscaper and former exotic dancer Jamie Durie shares his story.

Livestock agent ROSS ELLIS of McDougall & Sons brings us a fortnightly update on the local cattle, sheep and lamb and Pig and Calf Sales ...

Local livestock markets Agents yarded smaller numbers across all areas of livestock sales this week due to the rain finally arriving with some good general falls leaving a few vendors unable to market their stock.

Cattle numbers were in very short supply with numbers reduced to 358 head but the sale was still supported with all the major buyers in attendance. With the smaller numbers the pricing was fully firm for any lines of good, even quality for the feed on and back to the paddock.

Yearling steers sold between 330c/kg to 650c/kg liveweight, to return between $1020 to $2433 Yearling heifers sold between 340c/kg to 574c/kg liveweight to return between $1059 to $1915 Heavy steers sold between 243c/kg to 355c/ kg liveweight to return between $1239 to $2059 Heavy heifers sold between 320c/kg to 369c/ kg liveweight to return between $1464 and $1993 Cows sold between 260c/kg liveweight to 311c/ liveweight to return between $1144 and $2128 The Sheep and Lamb numbers were back to 999 head for the weekly sale with the market

· · · · ·

just back off the rates of previous weeks.

Lambs topped at $220 to average $174 Hoggets topped at $192 to average $180 Ewes topped at $192 to average $162 Wethers topped at $190 to average $151 The overall numbers were two-thirds lamb and one-third sheep which would explain why the total sale yarding averaged $151. Good trade lambs were cheaper with the ewe lambs and light feed on lambs still commanding a premium for the vendors. Mutton whilst still returning reasonable returns for the heavy end still eased off the recent rates, mainly due to the reduced numbers.

The Pig and Calf scene followed the trend of its bigger markets with lower than normal numbers making it to market.

Store pigs made from $114 to $174 Pork sold to $110 Poultry was still in the bigger numbers with plenty of hens, roosters and pullets being sold off the highs of last year, the price ranges falling between $1 to $17.50 a head. Numbers were light for guinea fowl and turkeys as well.

New and improved stocktake app for graziers A new and improved smart device application to assist beef and sheep producers with their grazing land management practices is ready to download free.

Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries and Minister for Rural Communities Mark Furner said the new version of the ‘Stocktake app’ is user friendly and a helpful tool for graziers, consultants and other land managers in the paddock.

“The app is designed to use in the paddock even without connectivity and features everything a grazier or land manager needs to assist with stocking and monitoring their paddocks,” Mr Furner said.

“App users will be able to balance supply of available pasture with demand from stock in the paddock, to monitor land condition, store their monitoring information and produce reports for property records.

“Short-term stocking rates can also be calculated, there is a guide for forage budgeting and the app also stores rainfall records.

“Supporting graziers with the tools they need to succeed is important to economic development in regional Queensland, and will help agriculture play a leading role in Queensland’s plan for economic recovery.”

Funded by the Queensland Government, the app is a new and improved version of previous software and is integrated with the

well-known ‘Stocktake Workshop’ package.

Mr Furner said the app’s new features include: Spatial data mapping, which allows the user to easily locate and pin a grazing property; and Updated pasture growth modelling data, land type mapping and Adult Equivalent information.

Mr Furner said the ‘StocktakeGLM’ app stores rainfall records and stock numbers converted to adult equivalents, can display current stock and land condition reports, and record GPS coordinates of monitoring sites.

“The app’s inbuilt features include regionally-specific land type descriptions, pasture and ground cover photo standards and an accessible yield calculator,” he said.

“While the app currently centres on Queensland grazing data, there is capacity to include the northern Australian grazing production areas of the Northern Territory and Western Australia in the future.”

‘Stocktake app’ uses secure data transfer and storage technology to ensure user information remains private and secure.

The new app can be downloaded for free by searching for ‘StocktakeGLM’ in the Apple Store or via Google Play.

New farm safety strategy focuses on collaboration

Australian grain growers are set to get better crop variety recommendations faster through a major Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) international collaborative investment.

The $5.39 million five-year INVITA (Innovations in Variety Testing in Australia) investment will deliver improved predictors of variety performance, quicker access to trial data for growers, better monitoring of trial quality and variety responses to environmental stresses - underpinning greater grower profitability.

GRDC Senior Manager Enabling Technologies, Tom Giles, says INVITA will add value to the GRDC’s flagship National Variety Trials (NVT) program by further enhancing the quality and timeliness of NVT varietal performance data.

“Knowing the likely performance of varieties under various environmental conditions will provide growers with more confidence in their crop variety decision making,” Mr Giles says.

“The NVT program is a huge logistical undertaking - it is the one of the largest co-ordinated field trial networks of its kind in the world. The INVITA investment adds value to historical NVT data and introduces new technologies and analysis methods to ensure that the NVT program remains at the forefront of variety testing.”

Mr Giles says the GRDC investment is being undertaken in partnership with laboratories in Europe where there has been significant investment in the systematic development of remote sensing, imaging technology and data analytics to monitor and predict crop performance through the Horizon 2020 Innovations in Plant Variety Testing in Europe (INVITE) program.

“The Australian initiative is leveraging advances being made within the INVITE program. We are utilising cutting-edge technologies, techniques and capabilities from across the globe to give Australian grain growers the most dynamic, informative, timely and robust data so they can select with confidence the most appropriate varieties for their farming systems and unique environmental conditions.”

Leading the INVITA research at The University of Queensland is Professor Scott Chapman, who has long-standing ties with a key INVITE partner, Wageningen University in the Netherlands, the top-ranked university in the world for agricultural research. Australia’s leading agriculture research agency, CSIRO, is the other major collaborator.

Professor Chapman, who discusses the investment in a new GRDC video, available at https://bit.ly/3aXOvna, says INVITA embraces the use of drones, satellite images and paddock-based sensors and cameras, with experts in statistics, simulation modelling, machine learning, crop physiology/phenotyping and satellite imaging involved.

“The crop monitoring technology will focus on capturing data on environmental conditions in addition to crop growth, yield and health characteristics,” Professor Chapman says.

“That will aid us in developing analytical tools capable of predicting crop performance in ways that account for impacts from environmental variables within trials - moving the

science closer to being able to extend predictions to farms.”

INVITA commenced with field trials focused on bread wheat varieties, and other crop types will be considered for inclusion this year.

In the European project, data is also being captured for canola, maize and sunflowers.

“In 2020, 90 wheat field sites across Australia hosted the remote-sensing technology,” Professor Chapman says. “Included were a subset of about 50 NVT locations which were selected to host ancillary trials.”

The ancillary trials fall under two classes: BioCal and SatCal sites. The SatCal sites include satellite data collection to provide a constant point on Earth to align the satellite images with NVT trials.

The BioCal (short for biomass calibration trial) sites involve six different wheat types (sourced from the NVT) planted at different densities and sampled three times during the season. All trials at these sites were imaged using drones equipped with RGB (standard red-green-blue cameras) or with multispectral cameras that include NIR (near infra-red) and NRE (near red edge) wavelengths to match with satellite imaging. The drone data is being processed to generate detailed field maps at less than one-centimetre resolution.

In addition, the BioCal sites include fixed 4G cameras that transmit single-plot images four times a day, canopy temperature sensors and, at a few sites, Arable Mark weather station/reflectance sensors.

Three trial sites managed by The University of Queensland, CSIRO and the South Australian Research and Development Institute (the research division of the SA Department of Primary Industries and Regions) were also subject to more intensive in-season crop performance assessment (or phenotyping) than the NVT sites.

Examples of the new capabilities include software that uses drone-derived or smartphone data to estimate early crop cover or count wheat heads or, alternatively, uses satellite images and drone-derived imagery to estimate leaf area and biomass. These estimates can then be run against environmental conditions and other data to mine deeper correlations.

Along the way, project activities are helping to upskill NVT Service Providers in the use of remote sensing technology. As this becomes established technology, the broader agricultural research community also stands to benefit through the commercial availability of services for steady streams of paddock-relevant data.

“The strength of INVITE and INVITA’s approach is the ability to integrate the satellite, drone and observational data while advancing the ability to extract useful information from images,” Professor Chapman says.

“The result is an integrated platform that allows a new understanding about the way varieties and environments interact that will prove especially useful when analysing performance of varieties in the NVT trials.”

A new podcast detailing the investment is available at http://bit.ly/2Of3TUz. More information about the INVITA investment can also be found in a GRDC Ground Cover story at https://bit.ly/3ui622m.

“Families in our regional and rural communities need to know that their loved ones are going to come home safely at the end of the day.

“The strategy identifies five key areas for impact: leadership and culture, the next generation of farmers, physical and psychological well-being, training and continued learning, and evidence and incentivisation.

“Our farmers are committed to delivering on the industry’s goal to reach $100 billion by 2030. But to reach that objective, we need to ensure that the right work, health and safety settings are in place.”

Farming represents 2.6 per cent of Australia’s labour workforce, but 21 per cent of Australian workplace fatalities.

In 2019 there were 133 injuries and 58 farm fatalities.

The National Farm Safety Education Fund commits $3.5 million over four years to support activities that address on-farm safety issues and improve farm safety outcomes. $1.9 million has been granted to support Farmsafe as the national body for farm safety and to develop the National Farm Safety Education Fund Strategy.

The Australian government is considering implementation options for the remainder of the fund.

The Australian Government this week said it had welcomed the release of a new farm safety strategy that calls for greater collaborative industry action to promote better practices.

Agriculture Minister David Littleproud said Farmsafe Australia’s National Farm Safety Education Fund Strategy aims to reduce farming-related injuries and deaths by 2030.

“The health and safety of our farmers and their families is paramount,” Mr Littleproud said.

“Our farmers have continued to kick goals through the COVID-19 pandemic, with the agriculture sector expected to reach a record $66 billion in industry production this year.

“But it’s a high-risk working environment.

“That’s why the government asked Farmsafe Australia to deliver this report to recommend how we can improve farm safety and set a long-term course for decision-making.

“Getting better safety outcomes on-farm will require leadership at all levels, from our farmers on the ground through to our peak bodies and government.

“It’s not just about safer systems, but also about creating safer farmers by shifting attitudes and improving awareness about workplace risks.

“The impact from every accident, injury or fatality that happens on-farm doesn’t stop in the workplace.

GARDENING

Beatrice Hawkins

Show an amazing display On the 10 and 11th March, Warwick Horticultural Society held the annual autumn flower show and it was an amazing display of what can be grown in our town and surrounding area.

The array of flowers, pot plants and vegetables was a delight to see given the season we have been having. I know we have had some rain in recent weeks and thankfully my lawn needs cutting again, but even with this brief reprieve, gardens have been suffering, so I was thrilled to see the quality and number of entries received.

Our judge Barry Murphy agreed that, although entries may have been down a little, the quality was a credit to the exhibitors. The floral art section was, as usual, absolutely beautiful. There are some very talented and artistic ladies in our area.

The dahlia section, as always with the autumn show, held some beautiful blooms. I am always envious and in awe of the people who grow these lovely, show stopping, blooms. The variety of size, form and colour was most appealing.

Roses were well represented and a great display of other cut flowers filled a table with colour.

Pot plants of many varieties were on display and a good showing of hanging planters made me wish for somewhere to hang things at home!

Vegetables and herbs were well represented with prickly cucumbers and eggplants show-

Delightful dahlias... ing something a little different. Climbing spinach was new to me, as was Russian spinach, that looked for all the world to me like common “dock” weed! Another plant that I have only recently seen was “lettuce leaf basil”. The size of the leaves was amazing and still with the lovely strong scent of basil. As

the exhibitor, Richard Oelhmann, didn’t want it back I brought it home and have enjoyed the sight and smell in a container on my kitchen bench...delightful thank you very much!! I’ll try growing that and the climbing spinach next year.

The display was a credit to the devoted gardeners of our area and the Horticultural Society appreciates their efforts and dedication and would like to thank all those who supported the show again this year either by entering or coming to see.

After seeing the amazing display of dahlias at the show, my curiosity was piqued and I decided I needed to find out some of their history.

They are native to Mexico and some other South American countries where simple forms grow wild in open valleys. They were greatly valued and cultivated by the Aztecs. The tubers were eaten like potatoes and also used medicinally as the skin of the tubers contains a natural antibiotic. The flowers were used to treat epilepsy. The inulin contained in the tubers can also be converted into a natural sweetener. It was an all-around useful plant for the Aztecs, as tree dahlias can grow up to 6 metres and the stems are hollow. These stems were used to carry water and the Aztecs name for the plant was “acocotli” meaning “water cane”.

Much of the early Aztec history and uses of the dahlias was lost during the Spanish Inquisition until, in 1570, King Phillip II sent Fran-

cisco Hernandez to study the natural resources of Mexico. He stayed for 7 years and an associate drew and described the native plants and these drawings and information was published in 1651. This was not acted on for many years until in 1789 a gardener from the botanical gardens in Mexico City sent seeds of 3 varieties to botanist Antonio Jose Cavinilles who grew them in the Royal Botanical Gardens in Madrid. He named these plants after the Swedish botanist, Andreas Dahl.

The resultant plants from his breeding of these 3 became popular through Europe and seeds were shared. They eventually made their way back across the Atlantic and the first Dahlia Society in America was founded in San Francisco 1917. In the interim they had arrived in Australia and we beat the Americans to the punch with the South Australia Dahlia Society formed in 1888.

In 1936 there were 14,000 cultivars registered and today there are over 50,000! Varieties in all colours except blue, all derived from that original three types of seeds from Mexico grown in the gardens of Madrid in the 18th century. Dedicated breeders are still trying to perfect blue and frost hardy varieties. From these centuries of breeding, dahlias today have one of the largest range of form, colour and size of any flower grown.

They are an obvious choice as the national flower of Mexico and are said to symbolise elegance, inner strength, change, creativity and dignity.

General Manager of Wilshire and Co, David Clothier.

Learn from the very best

By Jess Baker Leading rural merchandise retailer Wilshire and Co is gearing up for its next round of Field Days and is inviting local communities to take part.

Upcoming events will be held in Texas on 20 April, Mingoola on 21 April, Tenterfield on 11 May and Stanthorpe on 12 May, where field experts will lead informative discussions and give practical advice about fencing.

General Manager of Wilshire and Co David Clothier said the company plans to host 27 Field Days in 2021 that will cover a range of topics, from fertilisers and pastures, horticulture, water and irrigation to livestock management and equine nutrition.

“Our goal is to deliver the best customer service in the rural merchandise sector supported with competitive prices,” said David.

“We want to increase on-farm productivity and one of the ways we do that is by creating events for our customers and our staff that give them access to industry experts, ensuring the best decisions can be made on behalf of our customers’ businesses.”

With 50 employees across six locations, and more than 60 years’ experience, Wilshire and Co is renowned for its steadfast commitment to its clients and local communities.

David said the company has a unique advantage over competitors in that it operates as a family-run business, with loyal staff and strong customer relationships, but it is also backed by one of the world’s biggest agricultural retailers - NUTRIEN. “Across all sectors, many of the customers we have today we’ve had from the outset,” he said.

“What sets us apart is the fact we’re a family-owned business, we have a great culture, and we spend a lot of time getting to know our customers.”

“Our strong relationships with key suppliers are key to the success of Wilshire and Co as they ensure we provide a direct connection between industry leading experts and our customers, in addition to in-house training sessions for our staff.

“These strong supplier relationships that have been forged over 60 years also ensure that we maintain both consistent and competitive prices.”

Wilshire and Co now has stores in Stanthorpe, Tenterfield, Deepwater, Texas, Mingoola and Inglewood and stocks an extensive range of top quality rural merchandise. This includes fencing, animal health, chemicals, fertilisers,

seed, irrigation, produce, house and garden, and equine products, as well as packaging and agronomy services.

“I encourage anyone interested in our services to call us up or visit the store to find out how we may best help you,” said David.

Information about upcoming Field Days will be released via Wilshire and Co’s Facebook page and newsletters in coming weeks. For further enquiries, call the Stanthorpe store on 07 4681 2055 or email stanthorpe@wilshireandco.com.au.

Attending a Wilshire and Co event in 2021 could also put you in the running for a five night escape to Magnetic Island, a Makita professional tool pack valued at $1500 and an Engel fridge valued at $1000. See the full terms and conditions at https://wilshireandco.com. au/competitions-2021/.

Meet your local tyre expert at Ryanie’s

By Jess Baker Loyal customers and dedicated staff are the driving force behind successful familyowned business Ryanie for Tyres.

Established in 2000 by owners Brendan and Sharon Ryan, what began as a small business with one mobile unit has now grown into a two-location operation with 16 staff, all with extraordinary skills and sales knowledge.

Warwick-based mobile service fitter Joe Ashton began his career with Ryanie for Tyres in 2018 and has quickly become an integral member of the team.

“I assist people roadside, or I’ll go to a 26 TODAY Thursday, 25 March, 2021

person’s place and check their vehicle over...

I check pressures and I do a lot of farm stuff,” said Joe. “My favourite part of the job is the whole tractor side of things.

“And getting out and meeting different people and seeing new sceneries every day.”

Joe, an arborist by trade, learned tyre fitting from scratch when he joined the business. He is known by customers and colleagues for his hardworking nature, his industriousness and his ability to mend and repair things around the workshop.

“I work outside of the workshop probably five of six days a week,” he said.

“And I’ve made a lot of new contacts over the years, doing four or five jobs a day.”

“Things have expanded a bit here and I’ve taken on more responsibility.”

Like the rest of the staff at Ryanie for Tyres,

Joe is committed to listening to and identifying his customers’ needs so that he can provide them with the best advice and service possible.

It is exactly this commitment that has seen the business thrive for more than 20 years.

The Spin Our Shield turn to shine?

As fans are busily trying to sort the wheat from the chaff in the opening rounds of the NRL competition (a task which for some, like myself is proving more difficult than usual) it is easy to forget that the 2020/21 domestic cricket season is yet to come to a conclusion.

Many Queensland cricket fans of a certain age are still haunted by the echoes of those NSW cheers as they held aloft that elusive Sheffield Shield over the years. Not that we Queenslanders are vindictive when it comes to State sport but there must have been a glint in the eye of some Queenslanders and even some former Queensland players last week when the “BlueBaggers” collapsed to be all out for the state’s lowest-ever total after almost 130 years in the competition. All out for 32 in the first innings. The fourth-lowest score in the history of the Sheffield Shield.

While it would be wonderful to say that this happened at the hands of a Queensland onslaught, unfortunately that was not the case. We can however all applaud the efforts of the Tassie Tigers and in particular Jackson Bird who showed be would not be out of place in a baggy green once again. He finished with figures of 7/18. Oh, did I mention he chipped in with a half century with the bat. Almost goes without saying that Tasmania took an outright win in the game.

Queensland will be hoping for a miracle break in the Brisbane weather when they play South Australian this week in a last ditch bid to host the Shield final. There will be no sandpaper required but I’m thinking they may need their water wings and perhaps a rubber ducky given the recent rain in Brisbane. Perhaps, just perhaps it is Queensland’s turn to shine again in the Shield.

WANDERERS BOWL THEIR WAY TO A GRANDFINAL APPEARANCE The volunteers tasked with preparing the pitch for Saturday’s Cricket grand final in Stanthorpe will no doubt be tearing their hair out as this column is finalised. After so long without significant rain in Stanthorpe, it seems like Murphy’s law that it should be bucketing down just days before the 2021 grand final.

Last Saturday in the major semi final Wanderers earned the right to make their first grand final appearance for many years It would be very disappointing they were robbed of their chance by of all things - RAIN. On Saturday at Sheehan Oval Souths won the toss and sent Wanderers in to bat. Despite a couple of stutters along the way, Wanderers built a defendable target around a solid batting performance by Jamie Carnell.

Carnell came to the wicket when opener Tim Harslett was dismissed in the 11th over with the score 1/33. When Carnell was bowled by harry Williams for 54 in the 38th over the score was 6/139. At the end of their 40 overs Wanderers had set South’s a moderate but tricky total of 144 to win. Souths Captain Ben Staley had a good day behind the stumps taking two catches and was also involved in the run-out Wanderers opener Andrew Einam.

Unfortunately for South’s that is where the joy ended for Staley.

Much depended on the success or otherwise of the Wanderers bowling attack and things could not have got off to a better start when the Souths Captain was dismissed for a first ball golden duck. Bowled off a slick delivery from Weylin Alldridge. Wanderers were euphoric.

The bowlers had their tails up and Andrew Einam rattled Jordan Lanza stumps in the fifth over. The score 2/13. Mark (Bluey) Lanza was the next to go, Einam’s second victim. He made it a Lanza hat trick when he combined with keeper John Halford to dismiss Liam Lanza for three. The score 4/20 after only nine overs.

Danny Folkers who top scored with 16 did his best but when he was caught by Jamie Carnell off an Alldridge delivery the score was 8/62 and the end South’s 2021 season was fast coming to an end. It took the Wanderers bowlers only another couple of overs to mop up the tail and post a comprehensive 78 run win.

Wanderers will now meet Minor premiers, RSL in this weekend’s grand final game. The two teams have led the way all season. RSL have had the wood on Wanderers throughout the season in fixture games, but if Wanderers can produce their best on Saturday it will be a very tight game.

Last Saturday both South’s and Wanderers and the Umpires wore black arm bands paying their respects to late Doug Mackenzie who passed away on Friday. Doug loved cricket, his motor bike and above all else his family.

Son, Greg and his grandsons all play for RSL. I have no doubt that Doug will be watching over them all from a better place next weekend.

The sporting and wider community, I am sure join with Perditta and I in sending our sincere condolences to Vicki and all the family.

RUGBY LEAGUE IS BACK AND SO IS THE BARRETT SHIELD The official start of the Toowoomba Rugby league competition is still a few weeks away with round one games scheduled for April 10. That did not stop a big crowd flocking to Fr Ranger Oval but last Saturday for one of the most highly anticipated games of the season.

The Southern Downs welcomed back Rugby League on Saturday night when arch-rivals Warwick Cowboys and Wattles Warriors went head-to-head in the battel for the prestigious Barrett Shield.

Players and spectators were keen to get the magic happening on the field and it was the Warwick Cowboys Club who walked away from Fr Ranger Oval with bragging rights after a full afternoon and evening of games.

The highly anticipated women’s competition also got underway with a game between Brothers and the Warwick. In a thrilling finish the game finished in an 18 all draw.

The Cowboys had a solid win over Wattles in Reserve Grade the final score 20-12. The Cowboys Under 18 side showed that the team of young guns will be a force to be reckoned with this season scoring an emphatic 44-4 win in their game.

The early games were the perfect entree to the main event, with the Cowboys hunting back-to-back Barrett Shield wins albeit two years apart.

The Cowboys who have had a solid preseason of training were out of the blocks quickly and on the back of early tries to new recruit Mitch Wilson and Luke Brosnan took a 12-nil lead.

Warwick Cowboys retained the prestigious Barrett Family shield by defeating arch-rivals Wattles 34-22 at Father Ranger Oval on Saturday night. Warwick kept Wattles try less in the second half after trailing 12-18 at half time.

As you would expect Wattles bounced back with a try from hooker Kai Duggan. In a furious few minutes of play Wattle’s winger, Jacob Meddleton scored and with a successful conversion the score was 12 all. Matt Duggan and Jackson Green combined to give Wattles an 1812 lead at half time.

It did not take the Cowboys long to hit back after the break. Ben Sullivan the Player of the Match caught the opposition napping and scored to level the game at a18 all following a successful conver-sion.

Although at times play was a bit scrappy, it was an entertaining second half as the lead swung between the two teams. A try from Jo the Cowboys back in the lead but off the back of two successful penalty shots Fuimano put the Cowboys back in front only to see Matt Duggan level the score at 22 all with two successful penalty conversions.

Former Redcliffe player Mitch Wilson scored his second before Mitch Watson scored a runway try and a 90-metre run right on fulltime by Mitch Watson sealed the deal for the Cowboys. The final score 34-22 and the Cowboys have the Barret Shield safely in their keeping for another 12 months.

As you would expect in preseason matches there is plenty of room for improvement in both teams. Cowboys coach Matt Grew said post game he was looking forward to what Mitch Wilson and Luke Brosnan can bring to the team. Another new recruit, Jared Tuite caught the eye with an impressive performance. The Cowboys will be closely monitoring prop Jared Bradfield over the next couple of weeks after he suffered a knee injury in the game.

The performance of both teams augers well for the coming season with the round one fixtures kicking off on April 10.

In Round One the Cowboys and Valleys meet in a replay of the 2019 grand final. Wattles first round clash will be against the Dalby Diehards.

Last Sunday was another fine morning on the Risdon range however some shooters were caught out by the winds if their concentration happened to wander from the task at hand for just a moment.

The conditions did not adversely affect Richard McKillop who won the Open with a score of 123.12. Hot on his heels in second place was Bruce McAllan.

Bob Tyllyer was the only shooter in the new sporter- hunter class which we hope will encourage new shooters into the sport.

Results - 500 yards F Class: Open: Richard McKillop (123.12); Bruce McAllan (122.12): Sierra Reck (113.3); Clynt Reck (111.2).

WINNERS; HOLE IN ONE; HAIRCUT There was certainly plenty happening on and around the Stanthorpe golf course last weekend.

The winners of the Pike Trophy and Nuffield Cup were decided last Saturday, there was a hole in one and David Reeves had a haircut.

After two previous rounds of the Pike Trophy, the outcome of the men’s and ladies’ events were de-cided after the winner’s played

well in the final and deciding round of the competition. Rod Werner gets his name engraved on the men’s trophy as the 2021 winner while Lisa Stuart won the Ladies’ trophy. Congratulations to the two platers.

The day’s single event for the Nuffield Cup was once again sponsored by club member, Mark McCosker, who is thanked for his continuing support of this event.

The Pike trophy winners were also successful in the day’s single event. Rod Werner fired an 86 off the bat for a nett 67 to score a convincing win. Nathan Stibbard rarely has a bad round and his nett 72 secured the men’s runner up prize. The Run down went to score of nett 75 and better.

Lisa Stuart continues to make an impact in the ladies’ competition and her nett 76 gave her the win in the Ladies stroke event. Trish Fittock also returned a nett 76 but the countback was not in her favour and she settled for runner up. The Ladies’ run down went to Kay Webb and Lyn Ludlow.

Ian Harvey certainly stole the limelight providing the highlight of the day at the 137m par three par three 12th. Harvey played a seven wood off the tee and watched as his ball landed on the green, rolled forward and across the green and dropped sweetly into the hole for every golfer’s dream - a hole in one. Ian when he recovered from the excitement and shock reported it is first ace in competition. Congratulations.

To top off or lop off the weekend, popular member of the golfing fraternity and Stanthorpe commu-nity David Reeves had his trademark dread locks and beard removed last Sunday in front of a large crowd who were witness to the demise of the “David’s Dreads”.

Well done to David. See next week’s edition of Stanthorpe today for the full story on his loss for charity’s gain.

There are three events this Saturday for Stanthorpe golfers to bear in mind. Sam Eaves, the Warwick GC Professional, is visiting at Stanthorpe with his mobile shop. There will be ample opportunity for local golfers to acquire any golf gear they require. Sam normally arrives with a wide range of items usually brings a good range of items, however if members require any special orders, please contact Same directly during the week.

On Saturday, the club’s new machinery shed will be officially opened by Southern Downs Mayor, Councillor Vic Pennisi. Construction of the shed, which is a welcome addition to the club’s facilities was made possible thanks to funding from the SDRC following a successful grant application. The opening will take place at 11.00am and the committee is hoping a large numbers of member attend.

Finally, a medley 4BBB Stableford, has been scheduled for the McDonalds “Men’s Cancer Awareness Charity Day” sponsored by McDonalds of Stanthorpe. The event will commence with a shot gun start at 12.00 noon following the official opening of the machinery shed. Please register by 11.30 am so the starter can organise tee positions.

WELCOME RAINDROPS FALLING ON THE GREEN There was just enough rain last Wednesday to prevent the Stanthorpe bowlers getting onto the green for their midweek games and following the rain this week bowling will just be a pipe dream, but no-one will be complaining.

Conditions did improve towards the end of last week and bowlers were able to get back on the green last Saturday. There were two games of three bowl pairs and a game of three bowl triples played. In the first of the pairs games Peter Smith and Ray Rankin scored a 22-15 win against their opponents, George Fischer, and Mark Wicks 22-15. In the second pairs game Gordon Gallaway and Brian Brown proved too strong for Dot Rankin and Frank Gallo and claimed a 24-12 win.

The triples team of Cec Russell Helen Jones and Wendy Hurnell, out played opponents Robyn Smith, Ernie Jones, and Jack Bell. An excellent display of consistent bowling saw them take a comfortable 22-5 win in the game.

Commencing on this Sunday, (March 28) the Stanthorpe Bowls Club will host a Sunday Fund Day for bowlers. The format will mirror the highly successful Twilight Bowls Play will com-mence at 1.00 pm - simply call 46811276 between 12.00 and 12.30 pm to confirm your

Two of the regular faces around the club were missing in action this week, Val White, and Len Girgenti. My spies report that Val is expected to be back on the green very soon however Len will be out of action a little longer following his successful knee surgery, Members and friends wish Len a speedy recovery.

The club wishes to thank and acknowledge Walter from Hot Copper for his continued support of the Club.

HANDICAP FACES THE CHOP AFTER SUNDAY WIN Stanthorpe Sporters were back on course on Sunday morning and played the back in what turned out to be very pleasant conditions after it looked likely rain would interrupt the round conditions looked threatening early in the day.

Terry Byrne returned the nett score of the round. After recording bogeys on the first four holes, Byrnes parred the remaining five holes to have 40 hits for nett 21 to also claim he best Gross score for the round. After that performance the Razor Gang has been out, and the handicap of T Byrnes has much like David Reeves hair has been cut severely. Ouch.

Runner up on nett 23 was Aaron Simmers and the run down went to John Rawlings with nett 25. Gary Kirby managed to secure the packet of chips for his effort after his scoring was hampered by some wayward hits into the rough. The advice he received was, “Best to stay on the fairway”. Often that is easier said than done.

Sporters retired to the club house after play to support David Reeves who looks a new person after having his locks removed in support of a great cause - the Shave for a Cure. If you have not yet do-nated to Dave’s fund raising and wish to do so I understand fundraising remains open until this Sunday.

Sporters will be playing the back nine this Sunday with tee off from play the back nine,

with tee off from 7.30 am. There is as always, an open invitation to all to come and join in the fun and games. If the current weather continues you may need to bring your floaties along as well as your golf clubs.

RAIN CAUSES RESCHEDULING While the recent rain has been very well received, it was not good news for organisers of the Clifton Open Day or the Warwick ladies who planned on heading up the road to play on March 17. The competition was postponed to Wednesday of this week (Mar 25) however with the weather as it has been since Monday night that may also prove a headache for organisers.

Unfortunately, closer to home the 18-hole competition on Mar 17, did not attract a field.

On the upside, with the Sporter’s Shootout on, the 11 women who headed out early to play in the nine-hole competition were all able to make it back to the Clubhouse for a coffee before the rain set in.

There was a mixed group of ladies in the competition, which was the second nine-hole for the year. Organisers were pleased to see a few new faces among the regulars and Judy Lester joined the group returning from an injury. It seemed everyone was keen to just play some golf despite the weather, so the nine holes suited perfectly. Well done to the Ladies Captain, Roslyn who has persevered with organising this format. The group welcomed Jan, Helen, Lyn Lane, and Maria. Congratulations also to Lyn McKillop who put in her first card for handicapping.

Di Johnston continued her winning form.

Her 17 points say her take home the Coffee Club voucher sponsored by the Club. Both Maria Carey and Helen Daley, were just one point away with 16 and each received a ball in the rundown. The next nine-hole competition for women will be on Saturday April 17.

A reminder the Club Captain, Brendan also holds nine-hole competitions for all members on many Sundays which the Ladies are welcome to play in.

On Saturday March 20, the rain stayed away allowing the field of 16 ladies to play the 18/9hole single stableford on the white course and stay dry at the same time. The event sponsored by Warwick Sandstone. Wendy Rhea, representing the sponsors purchased vouchers from Warwick Cleaning and Catering Products for the winners.

The winner with a solid score of 34 points was Yvonne Pinington. Gwen Mills won the front nine with 18 points on count back from Danielle Seibel and Janine Stewart.

Roslyn Darton won the back nine with 16 points also on a count back from Kath Devereux. There were many close scores however Kath, Danielle 32 and Janine 31 had to be content with only a ball in the rundown.

Wednesday 24 should be the Crime stoppers Two ball Ambrose but given the weather con-ditions as this edition goes to press, I think it highly unlikely that there will be any play. I am also doubtful there would have been any joy for the ladies planning to travel to Clifton again this week. In a slight change to programming the March Mid-Week Medal will be held on April 7. Ladies, please refer to the April program which will have been emailed to you.

As good as the rain has been, organisers will be hoping for a break in the weather before the events scheduled for Friday and the weekend.

On Friday, the club hosts the first round of the Adam Falconer Shield Pennants for 2021.

Teams from Toowoomba City, Middle Ridge, Cabarlah, Oakey, Pittsworth, and Clifton will be playing match play - play commences at 9am. The course will be closed to social play until after lunch.

This will be followed on Saturday by President’s Day. The Single Stableford will be sponsored by Gary Russell-Sharam.

On Wednesday March 31, (the fifth Wednesday of the month) Sporters will be sponsoring the single stableford Rose Bowl and Shield.

Please note that a COVID Safe Plan is now operating for golf. It will be necessary for you to register using the QR Code in the Proshop prior to play. If writing your name on a pin shot, you must use the hand sanitizer provided out on the course. All other playing conditions - not touching the flags and preferring your ball in bunkers still apply.
