Climate risks Southern Downs Regional Council’s new environmental sustainability strategy acknowledges the region is at risk of “becoming drier with decreased rainfall over winter and spring, more days over 40C and an earlier and more severe fire season” yet stubbornly refuses to use the phrase “climate change” anywhere in the almost 20 page strategy and action plan.

The new strategy and action plan, accepted by council at the 28 July meeting, makes repeated reference to “changing climatic conditions” instead of using the phrase “climate change” and mentions but does not provide steps for achieving “affordable and clean energy” and “climate action”.

Locked-in loss Motels in the Southern Downs are being hit hard by the Covid-19 lockdown, with empty rooms in sight for the foreseeable future. The Apple and Grape Motel in Stanthorpe confirmed they’ve had a fair few cancellation calls.

“People have to cancel because a lot of our customers come out of Brisbane,“ said a staff member.

The Palaszczuk Government will be providing $5000 payments to small and medium businesses across Queensland affected by lockdowns.

Wonderfully formal affair The Stanthorpe Semi-Formal was held on Saturday 31 July, after students missed out last year due to Covid-19.

Students were all thankfully able

to attend, and glammed up for the occasion.

Failure to connect says they’ve also had a lot of trouble with NBN. Luckily, the medical centre has a mobile phone for work use and they’ve been able to circulate that number to patients.

“I’ve done everything I could to improve the connection and improve my service and now I’m paying the price for doing the right thing,” he said.

At Em’s Cafe, the landline isn’t working and hasn’t worked for about three months.

They’ve been told the problem won’t be fixed until the end of September, and are using their personal phone number for the time being.

The owner says “I put off putting my mobile number for a while, it was a last resort”.

At Hair of Distinction, they had trouble ap-

plying for NBN in the first place.

They had to go the ombudsman to get them to disconnect the phone after it became too much of a hassle.

Since then, they’ve been hit with a phone bill of over $1000, and the owner says “the sooner I get rid of the landline the better”.

Southern Downs Regional Council has reportedly had success in their initial bore tests, with three sites reportedly showing good signs.

Emergency town water bores are being investigated, with five sites confirmed.

Identified sites include WheatvalePlains Road, Toolburra Plains Road, Condamine River Road (Pratten) as well as decommissioned SDRC bore sites at Lyndhurst Lane and Gray Lane.

Reportedly, the Wheatvale and Condamine sites have found success, as well as another site.

So far “indications are pretty good,” according to those involved.

SDRC is aiming to determine the feasibility of accessing council’s 100ML/a groundwater entitlement in the Cunningham Alluvium, and identify any additional availability of groundwater sources to supplement the region’s water supply.

A council spokesperson stated that “council is currently conducting a number of bore tests across the region to shore up future water security”.

“Investigations are ongoing and results are pending on pumping tests to be conducted once the bore drilling is complete.”

The results of the drilling and testing program will confirm the extent to which the bores could possibly contribute to the Warwick water supply system.

Should investigations find a viable source, further work may be done to determine how the bore supplies should be integrated into the existing Warwick water supply system.

If it is determined that a viable and sustainable bore water supply system can be

Bore drilling is comprised of a pilot bore and possibly a monitoring bore to a depth of approximately 20 metres below ground level, terminating at the base of the alluvium.

The editor’s desk Brisbane is back in lockdown, and it’s more important than ever that we band together as a community to protect one another.

In this week’s paper, we cover the effects of the current lockdown on our motels and the EKKA, and it’s a reminder that we can have the relatively normal life we enjoy out here taken away so easily.

It makes me proud to hear how many people in town are getting their jab, and I hope it can be made more accessible to younger residents soon.

As we highlight in our story on the motels in the area, many in our community will be affected financially and emotionally by this lockdown and any future ones.

Many people, like Jess and myself, are now unsure of how often we can see our families in other areas.

So please support your local businesses if you can, and always always support your neighbours, your family and your friends.

Disconnect as NBN rolls in

By Dominique Tassell A long list of Stanthorpe businesses have been affected by their landlines not working after the copper line in the area was switched over to NBN. Leanne at Masquerade Hair Studio was without incoming calls for over a month in total.

She said Telstra don’t show up when they say they will.

“It took a while to sort out getting incoming calls.”

“It does affect your business,” Leanne says.

She says she was going to just buy a mobile phone and be done with it but that doesn’t set the town up for down the road.

After she “made enough of a noise”, she says that the problem was fixed by the end of July.

Jan, the owner of Stanthorpe Medical Centre, says they’ve had a lot of trouble with NBN. It was on and off, he says, and it started in June.

He says the problem started when they switched over from old copper lines to NBN. Luckily, the medical centre has a mobile phone for work use and they’ve been able to circulate that number to patients.

Jan says he’s had a lot of communication with NBN. He’s ordered better fibre and says “I’ve done everything I could to improve the connection and improve my service and now I’m paying the price for doing the right thing”.

Jan says Telstra starting disconnecting lines in June.

He’s been with Westnet for 12 years, which has been purchased by iiNet, so he’s been transferred over to them.

He says he’s been told he has put a new

A number of Stanthorpe businesses are without access to a landline number since the region was switched from copper cable to the NBN.

phone, “everything”, on the premises.

Jan says the providers can’t do much when Telstra disconnects lines because Telstra owns the infrastructure.

He’s been bombarding iiNet to do something about it, but they refer him to Telstra.

They reactivated line when they heard it was a medical centre, and it was “not so bad until last week”.

Now, patients call the centre and hear it’s been disconnected.

Jan says iiNet and Westnet aren’t performing well, but Telstra isn’t cooperating.

He says they won’t talk to him because he’s not a customer of Telstra, but iiNet are “backed into a corner and overwhelmed by the situation”.

He says Telstra holds the number and won’t cooperate “Since early June when our problem started we heard from other people in town that work was being done.”

Jan is worried he won’t be able to get his

number back if left “disconnected” for too long, and he will lose the phone number the centre has had for decades.

He says internet has “virtually disappeared” since Tuesday 27 July.

Jan is trying to create a new system from home to take to the centre so they can get internet.

“Instead of helping us they just disconnected the line, end of story,” he says.

At Em’s Cafe, the landline isn’t working and hasn’t worked for about three months.

Which is about as long as the cafe has been open. They’ve been told the problem won’t be fixed until the end of September, and are using their personal phone number for the time being.

The owner says “I put off putting my mobile number for a while, it was a last resort”.

She says she thought about it for a long time, thinking “do I get just a little phone for the meantime?”

“But I don’t want to pay for that”.

At Hair of Distinction, they had trouble applying for NBN in the first place.

They say they applied three times, and were told each time they hadn’t applied in the necessary timeframe though they insist they had.

They had to go the ombudsman to get them to disconnect the phone after it became too much of a hassle.

Since then, they’ve been hit with a phone bill of over $1000, and the owner says “the sooner I get rid of the landline the better”.

While the phone was officially disconnected on 5 July, it actually disconnected last Wednesday on 21 July.

At the Apple and Grape Festival office, they didn’t realise their number wasn’t working until someone asked them why their number was disconnected.

They say they’ve had to get a wireless router, and are still paying their phone bill…for a phone that doesn’t work.

They almost lost their phone number but have thankfully sorted it out.

They say they have to pay $89 a month plus diversion fees.

The NBN and providers are essentially point the finger at one another, and maintain that they’ve only documented small outages in the area.

Telstra say “a small number of residents in Stanthorpe may have experienced short term outages with their fixed line and internet services earlier this week”.

“The cause was an issue with the NBN network in the area but was resolved by NBN on 28 July.”

NBN effectively said the same thing, that there was nothing on their side that could have caused the outages.

Nonetheless, the phones still aren’t ringing.

Stanthorpe Fitness Centre set to go with the flow Southern Downs Regional Council passed a motion in the 28 July meeting to enter into a contract with Newlands Civil Construction to work on Stanthorpe Fitness Centre.

The contract is for the sum of $345,848.24 ex GST. The Stanthorpe Fitness Centre is a Council owned facility in Stanthorpe providing fitness facilities for the community.

The current fire hydrant at the fitness centre is unable to provide Queensland Fire and Emergency Services’ required flow and pressure.

Currenty, the Stanthorpe Fitness Centre and Swimming Pool buildings has insufficient firefighting ability and is non-compliant.

To resolve the noncompliance, Council identified the necessary works to provide adequate fire flow to the Stanthorpe Fitness Centre and released a tender for the work.

The tender was for supply and installation of two water storage tanks, a booster pump system and associated pipework.

The tender was released in June 2021.

Council received three tender submissions for this contract from MWF Plumbing, Offaly Civil Engineering, and Newlands Civil Construction.

MWF Plumbing submitted a blank tender and therefore were considered a non-conforming submission.

The other two tenders were assessed further as compliant tenders, with Offaly Civil Construction submitted a price of $418,527.96 and Newlands Civil Construction submitting a price of $345,848.24.

A tender evaluation panel was formed to assess the tender submissions, and price was given half the weighting in the final decision.

Council has stated that both offers submitted by Newlands Civil Construction and Offlay Civil Engineering met all the requirements of the scope.

Ivy Street, KILLARNEY Phone 07 4664 1188

They also stated that both tenders demonstrated that the scope was well understood, and both companies received almost equal rating for the non-priced criteria.

While the evaluation process included the consideration of various criteria, at the end of the process both tenders met all the requirements and the decision was ultimately made based on price.

Newlands’s offer was priced lower than the offer submitted by Offaly Civil Engineering.

The price of $345,848.24 falls under the budget of $371,238.00 that SDRC had set aside.

In the Council meeting on 28 July, SDRC Councillor Stephen Tancred questioned why the budget was so specific as usually budgets have a round number. He said, however, it was pleasing that the final price was so under budget.

A staff member said a consultant had created the number for the budget.

Councillor Tancred noted that a local contractor has a non-conforming tender.

“Which is disappointing because we like to see locals do the work.

“I’m just wondering if we can reach out to that business for future tenders and assist them to submit conforming tenders.

“I’m not suggesting that we wind the clock back on this one, but for future work I’d love to see that business putting in a complying tender.”

SDRC Councillor Ross Bartley asked how often Council audited the hydrants for firefighting capacity generally within the region.

A staff member said fire hydrants are designed to have certain flow and pressure provided to them.

“So we do check that as part of our fire hydrant maintenance program and generally for critical hydrants we get a notice from QFES around, I guess, checking several key hydrants.”

Motels feel lockdown pain and the impact that has on business and consumer confidence is damaging to the longterm recovery prospects of not only those businesses forced to close, but others outside the hotspots which experience flow-on impacts and the wider Queensland economy.

“We know the impacts of lockdowns can reach far beyond the hotspot local government areas, with 82 per cent of businesses we surveyed during this lockdown saying they expected a lack of trade and booking cancellations to impact them with more than 60% expecting longer term implications of falling confidence to hurt their bottom line.”

Ms Rohan said businesses reported three days of lockdown could cost them up to $65,000 – significantly more than the $5,000 on the table for current eight day lockdown.

“Businesses need to maintain their commitment to staff who rely on them for an income, pay ongoing bills and overheads which don’t go away when they’re not able to trade and plan for long-term recovery, costs which can add up quickly,” she said.

“Even small businesses expected three days of lockdown could cost them up to $12,000 which tells us the $5,000 payments on offer don’t go far to compensate for the immediate impacts of a lockdown let alone give businesses certainty and confidence to recover longterm.

“We’re also concerned these payments exclude some businesses, like non-employing sole traders and those with less than $75,000 turnover. All kinds of businesses are hurting and even the smaller operators who work just as hard to secure their livelihood and their contribution to the Queensland economy need to be compensated to ensure they’re still there when the lockdown lifts.”

Ms Rohan said businesses needed to be afforded certainty on how to access payments to ensure they were able to maximise their impact.

“Now is the time for detail – how, where and when these payments will be made available is essential if businesses are able to come out the other side of the fourth lockdown this year,” she said.

“Without this certainty, the impact this lockdown could have on our business community could be catastrophic.”

By Dominique Tassell The Southern Downs may have escaped a lockdown, but that doesn’t mean we’re unaffected.

Motels in the Southern Downs are being hit hard by the Covid-19 lockdown, with empty rooms in sight for the foreseeable future.

The Coachman’s Inn in Warwick told this paper they’d “just finishing cancelling up to 96% of our bookings“.

They say they have two people left staying with them, both from Toowoomba.

Reportedly people are still making bookings for after the lockdown, though that is pending Covid-19 developments.

Coachman’s Inn is still receiving bookings for September and October, but noticing a small decline.

They would normally have about five or six bookings in a day for those, but only had three the day we called.

A staff member said the hotel “won’t be employing anyone this weekend and will be closing the restaurant this weekend“.

They’ve been forced to close their restaurant too, with low numbers of locals dining in too.

Staff member said people aren’t coming in because they’re worried about not getting paid this week.

“No housekeepers, no restaurant staff, no reception this weekend,“ they emphasised.

The Apple and Grape Motel in Stanthorpe confirmed they’ve also had a fair few cancellation calls.

“People have to cancel because a lot of our customers come out of Brisbane,“ said a staff member.

Staff would not comment on where their current visitors are from.

A Stanthorpe local told this newspaper that they have mistakenly received calls from Brisbane locals requesting a room at a Stanthorpe motel, while another said they had seen someone drive into a property who they knew was originally from Brisbane.

The Palaszczuk Government will be providing $5000 payments to small and medium businesses across Queensland affected by the current COVID-19 lockdown and lockdowns

Apple & Grape Motel in Stanthorpe confirmed they’ve had a rise in cancellations.

Treasurer and Minister for Investment Cameron Dick is calling on “to implement their own assistance measures for affected businesses”. in other states.

2021 COVID-19 Business Support Grants of $5000 will be available to eligible small and medium businesses across all industries across the state.

Treasurer and Minister for Investment Cameron Dick said “this $5000 payment is higher than most other states, recognising the short interval between lockdowns in South East Queensland, and the unique circumstances faced by regional economies who are impacted by multiple border closures“.

“I’m also calling on all councils in the 11 affected local government areas, and across other impacted parts of Queenslanders, to implement their own assistance measures for affected businesses. ”This could include Councils contributing to supporting business cash flows and viability through the waiving of rates, fees and charges paid by small businesses, or by providing a cocontribution towards the Queensland Government’s business support grant program.”

Minister for Minister for Employment and Small Business Di Farmer said that she knew how challenging the global pandemic had

been for small business.

“We are living through some incredibly challenging times, and I want to acknowledge and thank small businesses for all they have done,” Minister Farmer said.

The small business payments will be made through QRIDA, which successfully administered the payment of $1 billion in 12-month interest loans to COVID-affected businesses.

Applications for grants will open from midAugust.

Chamber of Commerce and Industry Queensland (CCIQ) Policy and Advocacy General Manager Amanda Rohan said it was too little too late, and businesses shouldn’t have to wait up to two weeks for the money.

She said CCIQ had been calling for the financial impact of lockdowns on businesses to be compensated since the March greater Brisbane lockdown. “(The) announcement is good news for businesses impacted during lockdowns and especially those locked out in regional areas who we know some of which are doing it just as tough as those forced to close,” Ms Rohan said.

“Not withstanding this, it’s been five months since Queensland businesses were first forced to close in snap lockdowns without financial support and three lockdowns later, they’re today told they could have to wait up to two weeks to have access to cash.

“We know even short snap lockdowns can have significant financial impacts on business’ ability to recover or even reopen at all after a lockdown so it’s not good enough for business to have to wait this long to have access to payments.

Seven cops criticism for delays

By Dominique Tassell

Warwick’s own Harriet Hudson has won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics.

Alongside teammates Caitlin Cronin, Rowena Meredith, and Ria Thompson, Hudson, 23, represented Australia in the Olympics’ women’s quadruple sculls A final event on Wednesday 28 July.

China placed first and Poland second.

It was tight race, with a nail biting sprint to bronze at the very end between Australia and Italy.

Italy placed fourth, followed by Germany and Netherlands.

Hudson rowed the three seat of the Australian quad, the team placing fourth in the women’s sculls event on Friday 23 July and first in the repechage on Sunday 25 July to qualify for the A final.

The quad won gold at the final Olympic qualification regatta in Lucerne, Switzerland in May this year, and trained in Rockhampton in the lead-up to Tokyo.

Hudson is now a two-time national senior champion, a twice silver medal winner at World U23 Champions, and a bronze-winning Olympian.

After the win, Harriet said “honestly, I still

Harriet trained three times a day in the lead up to the Olympics. cannot believe it.”

She said the team “are absolutely on cloud nine over here”.

“Enjoying every moment of the celebrations.”

Plenty of locals were cheering Harriet on, with Little Gallery Cafe on Palmerin Street setting up a window display.

“A massive congratulations, it’s so exciting,” said a staff member.

When in training, Harriet said getting to represent Australia in the Olympics was “a

dream come true”.

She and her team trained three times a day in preparation, training in a “heat training room” that was around 32C and at least 80 per cent humidity to prepare themselves for the Tokyo weather.

She said it was all about team work, stating that “you can be really fit and strong but if the crew isn’t in perfect harmony it’ll be hard”.

Harriet said she would “savour the little things like going out to brunch” when she had some downtime.

Allora’s own Denny throws personal best

By Dominique Tassell Matthew Denny, the 25-year-old Allora local and two-time Olympian, fell five centimetres short of earning a medal in the Tokyo 2020 discus finals on Saturday 31 July but earned a personal best - and the respect of the nation.

Matt finished up the finals in fourth place with a throw of 67.02m.

He threw 65.76 on his first throw and stood out as an early frontrunner.

He was knocked down the ranking by Austria’s Lukas Weisshaidinger and Sweden’s Simon Pettersson and Daniel Ståhl in the second attempt.

Matt’s second attempt was a 65.53m throw, followed by a throw of 65.94 on his third attempt.

A whopping six of the twelve Olympians threw no-throws on the third attempt.

Matt needed to stay in the top eight to progress to the next round, and sat at fourth place going into it.

He threw a fourth attempt of 65m, and was knocked down to fifth place by Slovenia’s Kristjan Čeh.

He finally broke 66m on his fifth throw, achieving a throw of 66.06m.

Matt threw a final throw of 67.02m, achieving a personal best and climbing back up to fourth place.

Matt stood out as early frontrunner but threw 5cm off a bronze medal.

Sweden won gold and silver medals, while Austria secured bronze.

Matt qualified for the finals on Friday 30 July after a throw of 65.13m, which at the time was the longest throw ever by an Australian at the Olympics.

This comes after a tough training period leading up to the Olympics, after Matt suffered a serious rib injury in October last year that set him back a few months.

Olympic trials were a chance to see how the team was progressing, and Matt said he was happy with how his body adapted after

his injuries, and with how his team adjusted throughout the process.

After qualifying to go to Tokyo in June, Matt said it was “good to get it all confirmed”.

The Tokyo experience hasn’t been without bumps in the road, as the entire athletics team was forced to go into lockdown for two hours on Thursday 29 July after a member of the American athletics team tested positive to Covid-19.

It was later confirmed by the Australian Olympic Committee that three athletes had reported fleeting contact with the American athlete, and that they had undergone testing and returned negative results.

The other athletes on the team were cleared to return to their regular routines.

Matt has a huge amount of support behind him, both from his hometown of Allora and in Brisbane.

His friends were undoubtedly watching him in the finals from Brisbane, after Matt said they had organised a “viewing party” months ago to support him.

Matt says he hopes to inspire younger kids, and wants them to know they can achieve these things when they’re from a small town.

Matt says he’s been asked if this is it, but confirms he’s not slowing down anytime soon.

He wants to make five Olympics, so there’s plenty more to come from him yet.

Channel 7 is receiving criticism for its coverage of the Olympics, particularly its coverage of discus on Saturday 31 July.

Many watching the stream online commented that there was not enough focus on the discus event.

The stream coverage switched between athletics events including events that Australia was not competing in.

Allora product Matthew Denny’s participation in the discus event was momentous in many ways, as Australia has rarely competed in the event and has never won a medal.

Matt made it to the qualifiers last Olympics but did not make finals.

This Olympics, he threw the longest throw of any Australian discus competitor in the qualifiers alone.

TV coverage was reportedly aired almost 20 minutes after the event had finished, leaving some confused when this newspaper reported it online as it aired on the stream and broke Matt Denny’s final results nationally.

Matt Gottlieb said on Twitter: “Look, I know you want to build up the story of an athlete but showing a pre-recorded thing about Matt Denny’s gold skills instead of live shots of his actual throws in the final of the discus is absolutely mental.”

He later said “so 18 minutes after Matt Denny throws a PB to miss out on a bronze by 5cm in the discus it is shown on the main channel”.

Another Twitter user said “the Olympics coverage in this country has been horrific since...Athens?...but Channel 7 seems ever more determined than usual to kill the Games in Australia this time around”.

Tom Anderson stated online that “especially since (Matt) was in medal contention he should have been live”.

“Why show events with no Aussie participants instead?”

Channel 7 also reportedly ended the stream for the gold medal match in tennis while still in the second set.

The stream for the women’s 100m also reportedly skipped from the start to the post-race celebration.

Rachelle shows true self Rachelle Todd has played a starring role at the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival for many years - but few of the hundreds of festival visitors who snapped her photo would recognise her face.

From 2012, Rachelle was the person inside one or the other of the popular Festival mascots, Jonathan Apple and Isabella Grape.

Now she is stepping out of the mascot costume to take on the role of young ambassador at the 2022 Festival.

“I was the mascot for many years,” Rachelle said. “I have been the apple and the grape, I’ve worn the mascot costumes in the Toowoomba Festival of Flowers and most recently I was in costume at the busking [South East Queensland finals of Australian Busking Championships].”

Rachelle has recently returned to Australia after four years in London, where she completed a Masters Degree in Conservation Science and worked as assistant editor for BMC journals.

She is looking forward to using her social media skills to fundraise for the Festival as a young ambassador, as well as working with her sponsors, Shane and Anna Schnitzerling of Vincenzo’s, to promote the district.

“I think it’s an incredible cause, because the money goes back to the Festival and the community,” Rachelle explained Like Rachelle, sponsor Anna Schnitzerling

Vincenzo’s young ambassador Rachelle Todd with sponsor Anna Schnitzerling outside in front of the Big Apple. is keen to reconnect with the community and the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival after a long absence from the district.

“Rachelle’s very passionate about the Festival and that was a deciding factor in taking it

on,” Anna said.

For Anna, sponsoring a young ambassador is a way to give back to the community and support local businesses through the Festival, as well as continuing a long family tradition

of community involvement.

She hopes that supporting the young ambassador competition will help to reinvigorate the community spirit which she remembers as a youngster attending the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival in the 1980s.

“The schools were so involved and the kids were on bikes riding down the street,” she recalled. “Hopefully the 150th anniversary of Stanthorpe will bring that back.”

Festival president Russell Wantling agreed that the ambassador program will go a long way to reigniting community spirit.

“When you have ambassadors like Rachelle whose passion for the festival and this community is undeniable, you know you are on the right track. And for Shane and Anna and the team at Vincenzo’s to recognise and share that passion, well you really have a perfect match. ”Shane and Anna have been working tirelessly to re-open Vincenzo’s, so for both of them to take on something of this magnitude, simply to support their community, it just speaks volumes.”

Anna said Rachelle’s fundraising events would use local produce and businesses wherever possible.

Fundraisers already planned include a garden party at Diamondvale Cottages on 31 October, and future events including a Pizza/ Pasta Night, Ladies’ Day, and raffles.

Latest ambassador Makayla hits the ground running Stanthorpe Mechanical and Wrecking’s Apple and Grape Harvest Festival young ambassador Makayla Doughty has hit the ground running with her first fundraiser to be held this weekend.

Makayla and her sponsors, Mandy and Jamie Marsh from Stanthorpe Mechanical and Wrecking will start with a sausage sizzle and raffle outside Repco on Saturday.

Mandy said Stanthorpe Mechanical and Wrecking has stepped forward as a first-time sponsor of the Young Ambassador competition to help the festival and local businesses through a difficult time.

“I think the festival will give local businesses a bit of support. It’s been a hard year and this is something good to do for the community.

“Sponsoring a young ambassador will also help to keep the Apple and Grape Festival going.

“It is an important part of Stanthorpe and Stanthorpe’s history and in the town’s 150th year, I think it will be great.”

Makayla said she was excited about the new challenges and experiences she will encounter in the lead up to the 2022 Festival.

She said she hoped being a young ambassador would help her to learn more about people and develop her social skills.

“I’m also looking forward to having fun

Stanthorpe Mechanical and Wrecking young mmbassador Makayla Doughty with sponsors Jamie and Mandy Marsh and A&G President Russell Wantling. alongside the other young ambassadors,” Mikayla said.

“I’ve never been involved with the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival before, but it’s

something that I’ve always been interested in doing.”

Makayla will fit her young ambassador duties around studying for a Certificate III

in Aged Care.

She hopes to work locally after completing her course and to continue supporting the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival in future.

Festival president Russell Wantling welcomed Mandy and Jamie as first-time sponsors calling it “an amazing vote of support”.

“To see Mandy and Jamie give back to this community through the Apple and Grape speaks volumes of the people they are. It just goes to show, that no matter what might get thrown at the business community, businesses like Stanthorpe Mechanical and Wrecking continue to show up when asked. They truly do epitomise the heart and soul that make us such a unique community.”

As for Makayla, Russell was full of encouragement.

“One of the big hopes that our committee have of the ambassador program is that these are the next generation of the Apple and Grape. If they can walk away and want to be involved and see it continue well into the future, then we know we did something right. So, for Makayla to already be talking about supporting the festival into the future shows her passion for this community” As well as this weekend’s sausage sizzle Makayla and her sponsors are planning a fun 80s Disco Night in early November.

Noye pulls up a chair at Granite Belt Water table Jack Noye has been appointed chair of the Granite Belt Water Ltd (GBWL) board, following Dan Hunt’s acceptance of an extension to his role as interim chair of SunWater.

GBWL operates the Granite Belt Irrigation Project (GBIP) which will provide a 12,000 megalitre dam at Emu Swamp, south-west of Stanthorpe, and 126km of pipeline.

GBIP CEO, Lloyd Taylor, said he was pleased to announce Mr Noye’s appointment and thanked Mr Hunt for his valuable contribution.

“The Granite Belt Irrigaton Project team sincerely thanks Dan, who has been chair of the board for more than two-and-a-half years, for his hard work and leadership in progressing this project which is poised to be game-changing for the Granite Belt region,” Mr Taylor said.

“Dan has played a significant role in bringing us to this point and we are now delighted to appoint Jack, who brings extensive experience within both the agriculture and water sectors, to the position of chair.

“Jack has already worked very closely with the project as a board member, and has demonstrated he is the ideal fit for this role, and will bring his enthusiam to ensure this transformational project becomes a reality.”

Mr Noye has been a member on the GBIP board since 2019.

He previously held the position of director-general of the Queensland Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and CEO of Trade Investment Queensland.

He currently sits on the Food Leaders Australia Agriculture Advisory Board.

“I am pleased to be able to apply my skills and knowledge to what is a defining project for the Granite Belt and for Queensland. Emu Swamp Dam is on track to deliver much-needed water security to a community and industry that over the years has felt the full impact of not having adequate infrastructure in place to deal with prolonged drought,” Mr Noye said.

“I look forward to engaging more with the local community, as we work together to grow the prosperity of the region.”

Mr Hunt said he will continue to watch as the project moves towards completion.

“The project is now on the verge of construction, and the quick progress which has been made over the past three years is a testament to the hard work of the Stanthorpe community and the GBIP team. I look forward to seeing Emu Swamp Dam completed, and wintessing the transformational impact it will have on the region,” he said.

Mr Noye joins the existing board which includes Brian O’Sullivan, Steven Tremellen, Leeanne Gangemi, Nathan Baronio, Dino Rizzato, and Bill James.

The Emu Swamp Dam project is being jointly funded, with $24.3 million from local water customers, the highest proportion of community investment in water infrastructure in Queensland’s history.

While the Australian Government, has committed $42 million through the National Water Grid Fund, and $5 million through the Roads of Strategic Importance initiative toward the delivery of the project, and the Queensland Government has committed a conditional $13.6 million.

The EKKA cancellation will disappoint countless rural residents.

EKKA show can’t go on Due to the current South East Queensland lockdown and worsening local Covid-19 outbreak, the 2021 Royal Queensland Show (Ekka) has been cancelled.

It is the second year in a row that the Ekka has been cancelled due to the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic.

The 2021 show was due to open to the public this Saturday and it will be the fourth time in the Ekka’s 145-year history that the show has been cancelled.

RNA chief executive Brendan Christou said ensuring the health and safety of the Ekka community and the general public was paramount and the RNA was fully supportive of the Queensland Government’s decision.

“It is devastating to have to cancel this year’s historic comeback Ekka but the current outbreak of Covid-19 means we cannot bring the country and city together safely,” Mr Christou said.

“It is particularly heartbreaking to have to cancel so close to our opening day because of the massive effort our Ekka community has put into preparing for this year’s People’s Show.

“Thousands of exhibitors who have spent months preparing their entries for competition will be extremely disappointed they cannot showcase their efforts at the 2021 Show.

“It is especially tough for the farming community who have been eagerly awaiting this year’s show which is a celebration of all things agriculture.

“The Ekka doesn’t just reward the best of the best it also provides much needed respite and highlights the many challenges they face

such as drought and flood.

“Our hearts also go out to the hundreds of businesses whose livelihoods rely on events like the Ekka. The ride operators, the food vendors and the many small businesses who showcase their products at Queensland’s largest marketplace – they are facing another financial blow in the wake of the show’s cancellation.

“This last minute cancellation of the show has broad-ranging financial impacts for our not for profit organisation because we also rely on the Ekka to provide a major part of our revenue.

“Despite all the disappointment the cancellation of the Ekka brings the RNA will always act in the best interests of public health and protect our exhibitors and the broader community,” said Mr Christou.

The RNA will now endeavour to see if some of the 2021 Royal Queensland Show competitions can continue these next two weeks in a COVID-Safe environment without the general public.

Mr Christou said the RNA will also be working with Queensland Health on a de-mobilisation plan to assist exhibitors with bumping out and what is possible during the lockdown.

“We will be working through a number of options in the next 24 / 48 hours and will provide updates to our exhibitors and competitors.”

Council considers climate

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council’s new environmental sustainability strategy acknowledges that the Southern Downs is at risk of “becoming drier with decreased rainfall over winter and spring, more days over 40C and an earlier and more severe fire season” yet stubbornly refuses to use the phrase “climate change” anywhere in the almost 20 page strategy and action plan.

Councillor Marco Gliori gave a speech pointing out this exclusion, declaring he was unafraid of climate change.

He drove to Stanthorpe from Warwick in his

own private council car in contradiction tothe goals mentioned in the document.

Councillor Gliori normally travels with Councillors Sheryl Windle and Jo McNally, both of whom were not present at the meeting.

However, due to Councillor Andrew Gale recently visiting Brisbane, he had to socially isolate in his own car. This left a seat available with Councillors Cynthia McDonald and Ross Bartley.

The new strategy and action plan, accepted by council at the 28 July meeting, makes repeated reference to “changing climatic conditions” instead of using the phrase “climate change” and mentions but does not provide

steps for achieving “affordable and clean energy” and “climate action”.

The strategy states that by 2030, 63 per cent of the country’s energy mix will be from renewables, yet there is no clear strategy for how the region will achieve this in the 10-year action plan.

There is relatively frequent mention of Electric Vehicles (EVs) throughout the strategy.

The strategy also confirms that the region will opt-in to the Queensland Development Code which requires water tanks for new developments.

The documents have a focus on encourag-

ing residents to actively work on their sustainability, such as making homes energy efficient and reducing water wastage. There are no new requirements for residents listed.

Council has stated that “the strategy identifies four priorities: valuing water, reducing our footprint, valuing nature and building economic resilience which all play an important role in building a sustainable future”.

Southern Downs Councillor Stephen Tancred said that he strongly supported both the strategy and the action plan, saying the many conversations about the strategy reflected community and Council aspirations.

Thieves after your portable fridges, so lock your utes

By Dominique Tassell Police have issued an alert to the community to be aware that portable fridges are being stolen from the rear tray of utilities.

Police say portable fridges are attractive items for thieves and can easily be removed from utility trays.

They recommend locking portable fridge to utility trays as this will be a deterrent to some thieves, but not all.

Police state that portable fridges are a target due to being easy to access on the back of utilities.

Police do not recommend leaving portable fridges unattended for any length of time.

To prevent the theft of your fridge, police encourage residents to secure their portable fridge inside the cabin of their locked utility.

If possible, police recommend parking your utility in a highly visible area and using off street or secured parking.

Police recommend securing your portable fridge to your vehicle with a lock.

QPS have issued an alert to portable fridge owners.

Police also recommend marking your portable fridge with a unique personal code, as this will make it harder for thieves to pawn your fridge and easier for police to identify it if located.

IF IT’S MADE, BAKED SEWN OR GROWN

Police recommend residents do the following to assist in reducing the risk of having your portable fridge stolen by opportunistic thieves:

·

Do not leave the vehicle unattended for

· · ··

any length of time.

Secure your portable fridge inside the cabin of your locked utility.

Park off road in a secure location whenever possible.

Mark your property.

If you witness suspicious activity, please report it to police.

Tancred joins water group

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council passed a motion to nominate Councillor Stephen Tancred for a position on the Darling Downs Regional Water Assessment Working Group at the meeting on 28 July.

At the ordinary meeting of 14 July. 2021, council endorsed the councillor to be a member of Southern and Darling Downs Regional Water Assessment Stakeholder Advisory Group.

The first meeting of the Stakeholder Advisory Group was held on Tuesday 13 July in Warwick.

In the meeting, Councillor Andrew Gale said “I’m happy to move this motion and I just want to make the comment that I’m sure Councillor Tancred will do a fantastic job and represent the interests of council and community on this board, if my colleagues so decide to approve this recommendation“.

“But I’m quite happy to move it.“ The Department of Regional Develop-

ment, Manufacturing and Water, through the Regional Water Assessment Program, has announced an investment of $9 million over the next three years to better define opportunities to achieve economic development through water as a regional scale.

Regional Water Assessments will be undertaken in three project areas across Queensland, ie Tablelands, Bundaberg and Burnett, and Southern and Darling Downs.

These areas were identified through the Regional Needs and Opportunities Assessment, and determined to be more likely to achieve greater regional economic development through investment in water.

Southern Downs Regional Council passed a motion to nominate Councillor Tancred for a position on the Darling Downs Regional Water Assessment Working Group at the meeting on 28 July.

Council ‘is not shrinking’, despite changes to staff Southern Downs Regional Council received its quarterly human resources report at the 28 July meeting, where Councillor Stephen Tancred made a speech about the state of the organisation.

Councillor Tancred stated that “at the last council meeting, the CEO and HR Manager presented and described some of the changes in our organisation...and how the people at the top were changing things”.

“The point was made that the changes were made not to to save money but to get some better outcomes”.

Councillor Tancred said he wanted to make comment on “the bottom rungs of our organisation”.

He stated there had been claims they were a shrinking organisation, “but the data does not support that”.

“The reality is that compared to 30 June last year, 30 June this year, we have three per cent more staff employed.”

“And that’s a good thing, because we’ve got plenty of things to do in our region.

“And I think it’s a positive.

“We are an organisation that is not shrinking.”

However, the report stated they had a decrease in staff.

Council’s approved organisational structure as at 30 June 2021 was 367.98 full-time equivalent positions (FTE), which includes permanent, temporary and casual roles.

A comparison of the FTE from 31 March 2021 shows a decrease of 6.16 FTE positions.

Council document state that “a number of new unfilled roles have been identified as not being required in the structure moving forward, and as such, were removed in this quarter”.

As at 30 June 2021 there were 346.49 FTE positions filled, leaving 21.49 FTE vacant po-

sitions. The vacancies include positions in the process of being recruited or waiting for approval to recruit, subject to budget.

The majority of staff are employed permanently, with 4.8 per cent employed in a short term or casual capacity where business needs arise.

The majority of staff are employed in the Infrastructure Services, making up almost 60 per cent of staff.

Council’s annual rate of separation has increased from 4.0 per cent as at 31 March 2021 (last quarter) to 6.3 per cent at the end of the current quarter.

LETTERS WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Secretive council It was mentioned to me that Councillor Tancred in his last letter acknowledging his Emu Swamp Dam ‘perceived conflict of interest ‘failed totally to mention that he is co- owner of Orchard Services an agricultural support business. Perhaps this omission is why SDRC find it necessary to introduce strict management protocols around councillors’ communication with ratepayers?

SDRC’s requirement to open & record all councillors’ letters before councillors get them seems a bit draconian though. Doesn’t the Mayor trust his councillors to be ethical & or competent? Or is the mayor anxious to manage information because there are things SDRC do not wish us to know about? Would this be the most secretive council our region has ever had?

John Morison Stanthorpe

Who are the POWters?

We are writing in regards to Mr. Thorntons and Mr. Gibbins letters to the editor on the 29th of July.

Each week there seems to be the same few negative Nelly’s hell bent on the demise of the Emu Swamp Project. The main group “The POWter’s“ offer nothing but criticism and no solutions for bulk water storage other than ’Water Tanks’. You get a water tank ! We get a water tank! Everyone gets a water tank!

Firstly to Mr. Thornton’s interesting letter full of animal references.

Mr. Thornton seems to be confusing the issue that Irrigators are Farmers and Farmers are Irrigators. Farming is one of the biggest employers to the Region and is worth hundreds of millions of dollars every year to the local economy. Mr. Thornton also states that it is a small group of Irrigators invested in this project. He is wrong. Over 50 local farms primarily owned by family businesses are proponents and investors in this project. Many have already paid up their deposits.

Mr. Thornton claims he has faced criticism in the past and he is the victim. We would like to draw to the fact that over the last few years anyone not sharing the same political views or having positive interest for the dam have been attacked or bombarded with memes and

impolite names and words. The crying victim doesn’t cut the mustard as they say.

The POWter’s seemed concerned with their own feelings and not the true facts.

Jacobs, a world renowned group, did an extensive report into the Emu Swamp Project and deemed this a very viable project to move forward with. We have seen several times the question asked of the negative Nelly’s and POWters what are their true credentials and the sound of crickets is deafening. What Qualifications do the POWter members have to pick Jacob’s report to pieces ??

The previous Council were dead set against a 50/50 joint venture with Irrigators/ Farmers claiming another report with many holes and unanswered questions their main reasoning.

Seems the Federal Government weren’t happy with Council and their inability to do the job properly so they gave it to some people who would.

We will not currently question the true motive behind previous Council not supporting, but we have a pretty good idea of the past administration’s true intentions.

In saying they had a couple of Solutions 1. A series of pipelines from one dam to another dam which does not increase water storage. Just moves from one possibly empty dam to another possibly empty dam with huge power costs and overheads. Plus the installation and ongoing maintenance costs of that infrastructure.

2. Extend the height of the current Storm King Dam wall. This process would involve tens of millions of dollars in construction costs, land resumptions and more experts. All to catch a measly extra 500 ML allocation extra that the State Government has allocated for that catchment. The majority most likely payed by “THE RATE PAYER’ !

Makes the amount Council are now investing seem like a ripple in a pond doesn’t it ?

Why not let Emu Swamp Catch the water and allow Council to use that water as they deem fit?

Could they not sell their allocation when not needed ?

Make money to push down the rate base ?

Have a back up supply of upto 18 months on top of Storm King ?

We were unsure of Mr. Thorntons reference to Katoomba and water security.

Nice story Bro !

But off to the side ’ the green state’ of Tasmania has built more private/public dams than any other State and everyone seems to be able to live in harmony.

As the great John Williamson sang “On my ukulele, I keep strumming gaily! On my ukulele! Fa lala lala la !”.

Might be time to stop living in the past and join the future Mr. Thorton ?

Now to Mr. GibbinsMr. Gibbins Stated that everything was ’strange’ and why are the Taxpayers and Ratepayers giving money to private business ? Why can they not pay themselves are they not financially secure ? Besides the fact that private enterprises are investing 24 million dollars of their own money. Do you not eat Mr. Gibbins ? Do you not want more opportunities for our younger generation ?

Mr. Gibbins it’s called investing in the future of Communities and Job’s. That is what Governments do. Such investment gives job security, more jobs, and it flows onto every single other business from retailers to trades people as well.

This weekly tit for tat is becoming tiresome.

Let’s just build the dam.

Take a breath POWters, Mr. Thornton and Lego Brick Man. You will feel better for it.

Signed- The thousands of people in “The Emu Swamp Dam Brigade”.

Water answers not easy I thank John Morison for his lengthy (700+ word) letter to the editor on 22nd July asking me questions about Stanthorpe water security.

As I said in my previous reply, I am a Councillor who believes in transparency so am happy to respond, but please note that this is my personal response and I am not responding on behalf of Council.

John Morison stated in his letter he “is confused”. I agree. Although it’s a simple problem, it has many possible solutions that can be confusing.

The problem is that Storm King Dam is too

small for the town and successive Councils have studied the problem for over 20 years.

The solution to become a customer of the potential Emu Swamp Dam is supported by the current Council. The State and Federal Governments and 50 local farms will fund about 96 % of the construction costs, leaving us just 4 % of the bill. It’s a cost effective opportunity to increase our town water capacity from 19 months to 35 months.

I’m not going to bore and potentially confuse readers with detailed answers to Mr Morison’s nine detailed questions here. But I am always happy to share and clarify information with any residents - please just ring or email.

Another good source of information is the Granite Belt Irrigation Project who would welcome residents’ enquiries about the Dam project at their main street office in Stanthorpe.

Our Socialist Council!

Last week I wondered that it was strange the Council budget, ratepayers money, is being used to increase the discount to urban developers and give a few million dollars and Stanthorpe water to a private business.

Strange that only certain businesses get these monies from our representatives. The local retailers don’t get it. Nor do the tradies, the small farmers or the accommodation businesses.

A reader contacted and informed me that it wasn’t strange. That it is a form of socialism.

An upside-down socialism where the council gives our money to specific private businesses.

The Socialist Southern Downs Regional Council!

I wrote back and asked if it’s not the old socialism of citizen equality but a socialism for specific businesses with influence then what could the name for that type of ‘socialism’ be?

But, now I understand the economic idea of Supply and Demand.

Specific businesses with influence ‘Demand’, then our council ‘Supplies’ with ratepayers’ money.

I still find it all strange …

Dalveen Hall seeks funds

By Dominique Tassell Dalveen Sports Club has written to Southern Downs Regional Council requesting that they consider funding the supply and installation of a new master keyed locks and associated infrastructure to Dalveen Hall, and the supply and installation of egress door hardware for the building to comply with Fire Safety standards.

Nathan Parkes, President of the Dalveen Sports Club, wrote a letter explaining the need for the updates and the importance of the hall to the community.

Nathan wrote that “the Dalveen Sports Club, and in particular, the Dalveen Hall, is a social hub within our local and broader community.”

“With bushfires, drought, and constant threat of Covid-19, it has been a difficult time for many in our community as well as other across the Southern Downs.

“As a result of the community members who generously volunteer their time to keep it running, our hall plays a vital role in strengthening community resolve and resilience.

“For some, it is the primary source of social interaction. Following the Covid-19 lockdown, our Friday night gatherings have regularly attracted 50 people or more.

“The Club has managed to remain profitable and keep prices affordable for our community, despite an extended period of lost income.

“This is a real testament to the resilience of our club, the Dalveen and broader community that support it.

“The Dalveen Hall is also a council-recognised safe place which can be used in the event of natural disaster, or by QLD Fire and Rescue/ NSW Fire and Rescue as an incident control point and staging area given its proximity to the state border.”

Nathan emphasised that though events like movie nights and Friday night dinners gener-

ate a small income for the club, it is their policy to provide these functions at an affordable price.

He stated that after operating costs are deducted, profit margins are small and all profits are invested back into the hall and local community.

“We are conscious of the fact people across our region are doing it tough, both mentally and financially,” Nathan wrote.

Nathan listed a number of ways the Dalveen Sports Club has fundraised and secured grant funding for numerous upgrades and projects for the hall.

These works have included new air conditioning for the building, a new kitchen facility, new toilet facilities, solar for the hall roof, installation of a movie projector, sound system, and sound absorption curtains for movie

the hall was identified as a priority for the community.

Improve and upgrade community meeting spaces and support local community groups Nathan stated in his letter that the hall is the “community heart” of our village and home to an active and proud community.

Nathan stated that “it is hoped that this might be the first step in an active partnership with Council that see the goals and objectives of the Urban Design Framework collaboratively achieved”.

Dalveen Hall is currently leased by Council to The Dalveen Sports Club for 99 years.

The next Dalveen Film Night is on 28 August, with tickets going on sale on 5 August.

The movie shown will be Yesterday, a movie where the world, bar some, suddenly forgets about the Beatles.

night, and rainwater tanks. Nathan stated that “hall security and safety remain an issue for the Dalveen Sports Club”.

“Hall security has been compromised recently when door locks have failed”, he said.

“Adding to concerns, our bi-monthly movie screenings have been sold out with more than 80 people in attendance prompting an internal review of hall fire safety standards.”

This review prompted the club committee to look for ways to upgrade the building to comply with current fire safety standards.

As lessor of the building, Dalveen Hall is requesting that council fund the new locks so that council’s asset can be safeguarded, and fund the supply and installation of egress door hardware for the building to comply with Fire Safety standards.

Blaze guts Warwick home

By Dominique Tassell A late night Warwick house fire on Monday 2 August has left a house completely gutted.

The fire ravaged the property on the corner of Quinn and Carmody streets.

Fire investigation was on the scene on Tuesday morning, but no cause was immediately found.

Emergency services were alerted to the fire about 11:30pm on Monday, with all emergency services called to the scene where the house was reportedly “engulfed in flames”.

A neighbour reported that there were three ambulance units on the scene, which was confirmed by Queensland Ambulance Services.

The house was unoccupied and no one required assistance.

Queensland Fire and Emergency Services confirmed that two fire crews attended the scene.

The fire was extinguished about midnight and crews declared the scene safe about 1:15am on Tuesday after they had checked for hotspots.

Some residents were shocked come morning to find the fire scene on their street, saying they hadn’t noticed.

One neighbour said they were woken up to lights, while another didn’t notice the blaze at all until they drove past in the morning.

Neighbours gave conflicting accounts of

whether the house had been recently occupied.

A car was at the scene, luckily unscathed in the car port next to the house.

Warwick police detective sergeant Glen Roche said that emergency services were alerted after the flames were noticed by a person driving past the house.

The property was reportedly broken into in early June.

Police ask that anyone with information please contact Warwick Police.

A late night Warwick house fire on 2 August left a house completely gutted.

Gore Hwy a concern

By Dominique Tassell A spike in truck accidents has seen concerns raised once more about the conditions of roads in the region.

The Gore Highway between Goondiwindi and Millmerran has seen a spike in crashes at the end of July.

A spokesperson for Goondiwindi Police stated that there had been two crashes in the final week of the month.

A truck rolled over on 28 July, while a road train lost its back trailer on 30 July.

Of the 30 July crash, a truck driver who passed the accident said “the back trailer has rolled off the truck, don’t know how it’s happened, but the front was still standing”.

Fatigue shouldn’t have been a factor in the crash according to police, as they were driving two-up.

This means there were two drivers who could take turns driving and prevent the other from driving when tired.

Prior to the last week of July, a crash involving a car and truck at Captains Mountain resulted in a woman and child losing their lives. The stretch of highway from Goondiwindi to Millmerran is notorious for having bad conditions, with police saying it has been repaired numerous times but they still face issues.

A spokesperson for Goondiwindi Police said black soil and wet conditions make for a harsh road to drive on, and while they can go months without a rollover it is a rough drive. They emphasised that if travellers “drive to the road conditions you should be right”, “With the amount of trucks we have going through there we’re lucky we don’t have more accidents.”

“It’s not something we like to see very often.”

My chickens and rooster

By William Lister At our place there are six chickens and one rooster.

Only the rooster has a name and he is called George.

Actually the chickens do have names but they all look the same as the other ones.

George is much friendlier than the last rooster we had who was called Nuggets and he always chased me and jumped up and kicked me.

The chickens always go everywhere and George has to make them stay at the same place so he’s busy with that.

The chickens lay so many eggs that there’s too many to eat. My favourite is bacon and eggs and French toast.

I put the bacon and eggs in a sandwich

and eat them that way. I help Dan Dan [William’s granddad who lives on our property] put the chickens and George to bed at night.

Dan Dan locks the door to stop the foxes from eating our chickens.

George the rooster wakes me up for school by saying cockydoodoo but that’s the only thing he knows how to say.

William with George and some of the chooks.

Horsepower month set to supercharge Southern Downs The Southern Downs will be revved up this August with an adrenaline-packed program featuring some of Queensland’s signature horse and motorsport events.

For more information on Southern Downs Horsepower Month visit southerndownsandgranitebelt.com.au.

“Warwick has always been known as the Horsepower Capital of Australia so it’s wonderful that we continue to attract significant events to the whole region, as well as our locals also hosting some huge events.

“From Morgan Park Raceway, to polocrosse, rodeo, drags and more, the Southern Downs offers plenty of horsepower action and I encourage all of our residents and visitors to share in the atmosphere this August.”

Council recently adopted the Southern Downs Environmental Sustainability Strategy (SDESS) 2021 - 2031 and received the accompanying action plan.

The SDESS is a 10-year strategic document that sets out Council’s commitment to environmental sustainability practices and protecting the natural environment, and provides direction and actions for possible implementation if appropriate funding and partnerships can be identified.

The strategy identifies four priorities: valuing water, reducing our footprint, valuing nature and building economic resilience, which all play an important role in building a sustainable future and are represented through a unique logo.

Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi said the month-long program is a major highlight of the region’s events calendar.

“Southern Downs Horsepower Month is a new initiative to help promote all of our exciting horsepower-related events happening across the region,” Mayor Pennisi said.

“It’s a footprint combined with gum leaves representing biodiversity, a water drop representing water security and an outline of our landscape all encompassed in a circle to represent economic resilience. It says we want to tread more lightly and have less impacts on our water, flora and our land,” Councillor Tancred said.

“The strategy reflects community and Council aspirations. And how did we capture these aspirations? With lots of conversations. 194 survey replies, 28 written submissions, nine meetings with interest groups and several drafts to Council indicates that there was robust engagement from all stakeholders.

“This final document details the aspirations of the community whilst recognising Council’s financial limitations and the need for third parties, including higher levels of government, to drive strategies into actions.’”

Acacia Avenue: Changes to traffic flow A six-month trial of one-way traffic flow will commence along a busy section of Acacia Avenue between Percy and Wood Streets from Monday 30 August following safety concerns.

An increase in traffic along the narrow residential avenue and a petition raised by residents prompted Council to review the current traffic conditions and subsequently implement the traffic-flow changes.

During the trial period, traffic will enter Acacia Avenue only from the Percy Street junction and exit into Wood Street. Traffic exiting car parks from the St Mary’s Primary School and church must turn left in order to exit Acacia Avenue at the Wood Street end. The impacted area will be appropriately signed to guide traffic during the trial.

Southern Downs Councillor Andrew Gale hoped the new traffic conditions would address the community’s concerns and lead to the safest outcome for all parties.

“Ultimately the safety of road users and local residents will drive Council’s final decision following the six-month trial period,” Councillor Gale said.

Could this new show be the most of-themoment comedy of recent times?

The brainchild of comedian Andy Lee, and hosted by him too, it’s an ingenious set-up for a world now accustomed to connecting through screens. Described

by Lee as “like a reverse Gogglebox” the comedic panel show sees him joined in the studio by fellow comedians, plus 100 diverse Aussies via Zoom. The aim of the show?

To find out the stories behind the statistics by asking everyday people. From questions such as how many Aussies have had plastic surgery, to what is the most common day to be born, it promises to be hilariously illuminating viewing.

VICEROY’S HOUSE SBS WORLD MOVIES, 6.30pm

This biographical historical drama charts India’s transition into independence in the 1940s, with the dependable Hugh Bonneville portraying the last Viceroy of India, Lord Mountbatten, and Gillian Anderson playing his wife, Lady Edwina (both pictured right).

Director Gurinder Chadha ticks all the right boxes, highlighting the religious and cultural disparities of the partition. It looks extravagant, and Chadha manages to weave the personal into the political. The romantic subplot (represented by Manish Dayal’s and Huma Qureshi’s characters) may be slightly sentimental, but it goes to show that even geopolitical stories are human stories after all.

With top-notch performances from its two Oscar-winning leads and a compelling and inspirational true story to tell, The Railway Man is a rewarding watch. When Patricia (Nicole Kidman) meets Eric (Colin Firth, pictured below) on a train, they fall in love and marry, but it quickly becomes apparent Eric’s calm and bookish exterior hides a tormented past.

Desperate to uncover what is so wrong with her husband, Patricia meets Finlay (Stellan Skarsgård) who served with Eric in World War II.

NEWS WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

A digital revolution A digital farmhand that can precisely and mechanically remove weeds as it travels along vegetable beds is being trialled at Gatton in a ground-breaking first for Queensland horticulture.

Queensland Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries and Minister for Rural Communities Mark Furner said the Government had welcomed agricultural robotics company Agerris to establish its operations in Queensland and demonstrate its automated farming platform Digital Farmhand.

He said Agerris’s “ground-breaking” technology had real potential to revolutionise farming – exciting news for all Queensland’s producers, particularly fruit and vegetable farmers..

“In a challenging environment where growers face multiple issues including water and land availability, labour shortages, and chemical use, the Digital Farmhand is a game changer in delivering sustainable farming and food security,” Mr Furner said.

“Many of these challenges can be solved by integrating robotic technology into best farming practices to deliver truly smart farms.”

He said primary production was an important part of Queensland’s Covid-19 Economic Recovery Plan, and he was delighted to see Agerris’s impressive technology being further developed.

“Having Agerris at the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) Gatton Research Facility has already benefitted the local community,” Mr Furner commented. “Agerris is providing local support and has employed two local staff to work with growers in the Lockyer and Fassifern valleys, with more expansion planned for later this year.

“Particularly pleasing is that, already, several local growers have entered into discussions with Agerris to use the Digital Farmhand machines on their farms.”

Agerris CEO Salah Sukkarieh said install-

Workforce network extended The highly-successful Queensland Agriculture Workforce Network (QAWN), which has helped create hundreds of jobs in the regions, is being extended to late 2022 with $1.7 million in funding.

Formed in 2016, QAWN is a regional network of industry-based agricultural workforce officers who work directly with producers and operators across the supply chain to assist in addressing recruitment and skilling issues.

The new Digital Farmhand being trialled in Southern Queensland. ing the Digital Farmhand at DAF’s Gatton Research Facility and with local growers would provide valuable data for future generations of the platform.

“Digital Farmhand is already Agerris’s most versatile robotic platform but using it in local conditions will allow us to optimise its functionality,” Mr Sukkarieh said.

He said while Digital Farmhand could already precisely and mechanically remove weeds as it travels along the vegetable beds there were future plans to include individual plant spraying, thinning, and harvesting depending on the needs of the farmer.

“It is mobile, solar-electric, easy-to-run, and can operate in autonomous mode which adds up to considerable benefits to growers,” Sukkarieh said.

Lockyer Valley vegetable farmer Brock Suton, of Sutton Farms, said he saw real potential in developing the Digital Farmhand technology for his farming system.

“The key feature for us is the flexibility in the application of this platform – an unmanned vehicle that can carry out field operations but also have precision agriculture technology mounted on it,” Mr Sutton said.

“It could be used to reduce crop inputs such as herbicides and insecticides through more targeted application and also provide us with more information about our crops.

“The unmanned aspect is attractive, because it provides flexibility of what time of day and conditions it can be deployed in, above what we currently rely on.”

Minister for Rural Communities Mark Furner said the seven QAWN officers provided advice on workforce services and initiatives to all Queensland agribusinesses.

“They have been especially important during the Covid-19 response,” he said. “They’ve initiated workforce attraction workshops, coordinated the placement and support of refugee and migrant workers, provided job readiness training for school students to take up seasonal work during the holidays, and promoted seasonal work and a regional lifestyle to young people via social media and video.”

Mr Furner said QAWN was a free service available to any agribusiness. For more information visit daf.qld.gov.au

RURAL LINKS

Warwick/Stanthorpe Today warmly welcome a new contributor to our pages this week – director and treasurer of the Rare Breeds Trust of Australia and secretary and treasurer of the Australian Stud Pig Breeders Queensland Branch, JUDY BARNET. Judy’s column will be a regular feature in Rural Links.

This week, she sheds some light on her personal history, interests and farming experience...

Catching up on the farm

By Judy Barnet Hi Readers, Some of you may remember me from the Bush Telegraph – writing rural articles about farming with my lovely young offsiders Clare Ramsey and Holli Powell back in 2010 to 2014.

This wonderful rural paper was published monthly in the Warwick Daily News by editor Toni Somes, to whom I am ever grateful for giving me the opportunity to write.

Since the cessation of the Warwick Daily News and their Rural Weekly newspaper I have sorely missed catching up on rural news and information.

When Jess Baker mentioned to me that Warwick/Stanthorpe Today was looking to increase their rural content I jumped at the opportunity to help out writing a weekly column.

From 2000 to 2014 I had a small farm (25 acres) at Clintonvale with my partner John at the time. It was a great block of land with fertile black soil and we ran a small Ayrshire Stud.

With the milk from our six cows we contract-reared dairy heifers for a local farmer and also reared dairy heifers for resale as yearlings.

Well fed, each cow would give us enough milk to rear four calves each plus some left over for the pigs and the house. We also had a Large Black Pig Stud, Southdown and Dorset Down Sheep.

Poultry had been a hobby for many years and we bred and showed several breeds of poultry. Together with off farm work, life was always busy, never a dull moment!

Holli, my friend’s daughter, had helped on the farm on weekends and after school since she was about six and Clare, a neighbour’s daughter and now a vet nurse, had helped since about age eight.

From showing cows to attending community events with voluntary animal nurseries, and patiently following me around at farm clearing sales - which I found highly addictive - Clare and Holli were always with me.

We made a terrific trio, the three of us driving along, in the front seat of my old F150 singing Grandma’s Feather Bed on our way to these events.

Life changes though, I wanted more land to expand my Large Black Pig Stud and sheep enterprise. This led me to finding a job at Riverton on the Qld/NSW Border near Texas and purchasing a farm on the reaches of Glenlyon Dam. Unfortunately John suffered several bad episodes of Bi-Polar disorder and struggled to adjust to life at Glenlyon. After a long spell in hospital John decided to go back to his home town of Warwick.

The next 12 months were very challenging for me with a new job, the death of my beautiful father, farming country that I had no idea

Holli and the large black pigs.

about, constantly looking for water leaks and broken pipes on 150 acres of hill country and not knowing anyone in the area to help when things went wrong. Gradually I learned new skills, made new friends and the future began to look a bit brighter. I will be forever grateful to a dairy farmer friend back at Clintonvale who despite huge health problems of his own would ring me up every week to check in and see how I was going.

2015 saw me offered the position of Treasurer and Director for the Rare Breeds Trust of Australia, a voluntary position that I hold to this day. I fundraise and help promote the trust wherever I can.

The trust is run entirely by volunteers and receives no government support. I am also secretary and treasurer for the Australian Stud Pig Breeders Queensland Branch.

In 2016 I met my current partner, Richie, through the Highfields Pioneer Village where I still volunteered with sheep for shearing and an animal nursery whenever they needed me.

Richie is a wonderful man that loves animals, vintage motor bikes and old machinery all of which we have in abundance on the farm. He is Mr Fixit for everything on the farm – it is seriously hard and expensive to get

tradespeople out when you live an hour from Stanthorpe on the road to nowhere!

From 2016 to 2018 we expanded our Southdown Sheep Stud and Large Black Pig Stud, however when the drought struck we decided to sell the pigs due to the high price of grain and also cull the sheep very heavily.

Times were tough, we just did not have enough money to feed all of the animals – a lovely English backpacker we had at the time who was an incredibly talented lady – organised a go fund me page to feed the herd of shorthorn cows I had built up and the remaining sheep.

Without this I think I would have given up farming altogether. The farmer that purchased my entire herd of Large Black Pigs donated me a B-Double load of hay and this kept us going.

With no end to the drought in sight I sold all but three cows to my good friends that had a lease of some high rainfall country on the Gold Coast Hinterland. It was a hard decision to make but in the end, the best one – our farm is traprock country and more suited to sheep than cows.

We are currently still building the Southdown and Babydoll flock back up and also now have a small flock of Shropshires and English

Leicesters – both these breeds are endangered.

To teach people about sheep I also keep a representative sheep from the following breeds – Border Leicester, Texel, Dorset Horn and Dorset Down.

The sheep are watched over by four Alpacas. I also have a few milking goats on the farm and milk from September through to April.

I currently work off-farm for the Endeavour Foundation three days a week and with the help of two backpackers that stayed for 10 months at the start of Covid we renovated our farm cottage and now host guests on Airbnb at Glenlyon Dam Holiday Cottage.

In future editions I look forward to telling you a bit more about the farm and also having a reunion with Clare and Holli. I will be letting you know about some local farmers in our area and catching up with some of my old dairy farmer friends.

If you have any questions about rearing pigs, sheep, cattle, goats or poultry or alpacas please do not hesitate to ask. If I don’t know the answer my fellow Directors in the Rare Breeds Trust of Australia have areas of expertise in most types of livestock.

HISTORY

Nation’s forgotten Anzacs

By John Telfer, History Writer After the Japanese surprise attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbour on 7 December, 1941, saw the outbreak of the Pacific war, Japanese forces then attacked South East Asian countries moving south to the Malay Peninsula to attack the British Naval Base at Singapore.

Japan quickly overran Malaya and with the sinking of the British warships ’Prince of Wales’ and ’Repulse’ forcing the Commander of the British forces, Lieutenant-General Arthur Percival, along with 130,000 men to eventually surrender, after the short battle of Singapore.

The Australian government became increasing concerned when Japan attacked RAAF bases at Horn Island in the north and posed an imminent threat to Australia.

Horn Island was subjected to eight bombing raids between 1942 and 1943, and Torres Strait Island villages, were also raided at random.

This became a very serious threat to Australia’s security and so it was decided to strengthen the northern defences to counter this threat by recruiting Torres Strait Islanders and regional indigenous to form a Torres Strait Light Infantry Battalion mainly to allow the 49th Battalion for service in New Guinea.

Other responsibilities for a northern force were to carry out surveillance of Japanese forces and to defend the region against any military incursions of Japanese troops. In order to achieve this the 1940 Commonwealth Defence Committee changed their racial policy that recruits, “not of European origin”, could not enlist in the Australia Defence Forces.

Earlier, the Defence Committee had decid-

The original Torres Strait Light Infantry Battalion in 1942. ed that Indigenous enlistments were neither “necessary or desirable”, but after mainland attacks by Japanese aircraft they very quickly changed their tune, such was the state of military manpower at the time.

Final approval for raising a Torres Island Light Infantry Battalion came in the form of a letter from the Prime Minister on 3rd May 1941 which stated: “Investigations have indicated that the Torres Strait Islanders are well suited to be trained for military service and that there would be numerous volunteers for such service at Thursday Island”.

Recruiting began of local Torres Strait Islanders with a vessel named ’Melbidir’ that moved through the archipelago to seek volunteers for this new force that started as a Company but built up to a Battalion, comprising a total of 890 recruits.

Of these recruits, 830 Torres Strait Islanders volunteered along with a number of Malay and mainland indigenous, that made up a force of 890 personnel.

Major-General Angus Campbell commented in 2018 at the 75th Anniversary of the Battalion that this was: “Possibly the highest rate of voluntarism in the whole country, per capita, during World War II”.

The first Commanding Officer of the Battalion appointed was Major Jock Swain from 1942 to 1944, followed by Major Charles Godtschalk from 1944 to 1946, and training began when military defensive equipment was obtained such as: anti-aircraft guns, search lights, a wireless station, jetty, reservoir, oil depot, and a post office.

Training was conducted in marching, the .303 rifle, Bren gun, and light artillery.

The Islander group proved to be a very reliable Battalion as nearly all the male population volunteered for service, which was to later cause social and political problems in the village communities as they were left only the aged and infirm and with no leadership, as all the eligible men had enlisted into the battalion.

Between October to December, 1943, a patrol from the Torres Strait Light Infantry Battalion was sent up to Dutch New Guinea to check on reported Japanese troops in the Oba Wilderman area and saw their first combat in a brief, but deadly firefight, with a Japanese naval patrol on the Onoetoemboewee River.

This resulted in one soldier killed and several injured in the ensuing conflict. In the fiveyear period of the Torres Strait Light Infantry’s service in the north, a total of 36 paid the supreme sacrifice.

The only discrimination faced by members of the battalion was the very unequal pay rates paid to the indigenous members of the battalion (as Australian indigenous found out).

The Torres Strait soldiers were paid only one third the rate of the white members of the battalion which at one time caused justifiable strike action in December 1943.

As a result, the pay for the indigenous soldiers was raised to two thirds of the white soldiers pay. However, it was settled amicably and the battalion continue its good work until its disbandment in 1946.

It should also be mentioned that small bands of irregular indigenous groups acted as coast watchers in the north of Australia with little fanfare during World War 2.

The number of young indigenous who showed a willingness to enlist and overcame the discrimination that existed when offering to help defend their country proved to be brave and resilient servicemen.

The example was evident by the enlistment figures of the Torres Strait Light Infantry Battalion, when around 90 per cent came forward to enlist in 1942, and was a big help in defended the vulnerable defences of the north of Australia when Japan was on the march when Singapore fell.

The honours for bravery won by Indigenous soldiers in World War I and WWII demonstrate the great contribution these men played in the defence of their country, despite the discrimination they faced after returning home.

They leave an indelible footprint in the history of the Anzacs, and sadly, show that perhaps arguably, they could be remembered as the ’Forgotten Anzacs’.

With an array of handcrafted bowls to choose from and soups including meatball soup, minestrone, pea and ham, and more, the only complaint was having to choose between too many good options.

The team behind the Granite Belt Art Trail were out in full force, showing CEO of Southern Queensland Country Tourism, Peter Homan, around.

Revving it up at Leyburn Two cars with iconic but vastly different Australian racing histories almost 90 years apart have been announced as exciting last-minute attractions at the Historic Leyburn Sprints on 21-22 August.

Leyburn’s 1.0 kilometre round-the-houses course will shake with the thunderous sound of a 2008 Ford Fusion NASCAR, once driven to victory in America by Aussie champion Marcos Ambrose, while the oldest Australian racing car, the 1922 Wikner Special Model T Ford, will evoke much earlier memories of Australian and American competition.

The Fords are late additions to the original field of almost 220 historic, classic and performance cars for the 25thannual Sprints, which celebrate the running of the 1949 Australian Grand Prix at Leyburn, on Queensland’s southern Darling Downs.

With Covid-19 forcing the cancellation of national motorsport rounds on the same weekend at Queensland Raceway and Morgan Park Raceway, the Sprints are expected to attract an even bigger crowd than usual.

“These are two of the most iconic cars we’ve had at Leyburn and will be fantastic new attractions to what promises to be one of Queensland’s biggest motorsport weekends,” Sprints President Tricia Chant said.

“With these additions we’ll now have an incredible entry of more than 60 different makes or models of cars on track, plus dozens more in the Vintage Vans and Shannons Show ‘n’ Shine displays.

“We’re very grateful to the NASCAR’s owner Brett ‘Crusher’ Murray of Speedcafe.com and the Wikner Special’s owner Doug Partington of the Model T Ford Shed for providing these fabulous historic vehicles.”

Driving the spectacular 59# STP Ford Fusion, Marcos Ambrose scored the first Australian win in NASCAR’s elite Nationwide series, at Watkins Glen International Raceway in 2008. After a long period in storage, it will

make its first Down Under public on-track appearance at Leyburn in exactly the condition it finished at Watkins Glen.

The Fusion, currently for sale for $380,000, will be on display and make several demonstration runs in the hands of Brad Kostecki on the Sunday of the Sprints.

“While there is an amazing entry list for this year’s Leyburn event, I don’t think there will be anything louder or tougher than the #59 Fusion,” Kostecki said.

Car owner Murray added: “There is an incredible entry list at this year’s Leyburn event

and we’re proud that we will be a part of such an eclectic mix of machinery.”

Leyburn visitors will see one of Australia’s most historic racers in the Wikner Special Model T Ford. The oldest-surviving Australianbuilt racing car, it was confirmed for Leyburn after it returned to Australia last week at the end of a two-year tour of the United States, where it was displayed at museums and car shows and lapped the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Milwaukee Mile ovals.

The car had been built by brothers Geoff and Roy Wikner for such tracks. It ran on local

dirt circuits around Sydney and in 1925 contested the first races at the Olympia Speedway in Maroubra, Sydney.

It later was abandoned under a Brisbane house until a 14-year-old Partington bought it as a pile of parts for 14 pounds. He discovered its background only in 1994 and has since been dedicated to showcasing its unique history around Australia and in America.

“It will be a thrill to welcome this famous Australian racing car to one of Australia’s best historic and classic motorsport festivals. For just $20 per adult per day, Leyburn will be a fantastic way to experience almost 100 years of racing history,” Tricia Chant said.

Competition at the Sprints will start at 8am on both days. Adult ticket prices, unchanged for more than five years, will be $20 for Saturday or Sunday or $30 for the weekend. Children aged under 14 enter free and street parking is free.

COMPETITION The best way to experience the excitement and beauty of the historic Leyburn Sprints is being there.

The round-the-houses Sprints on Queensland’s southern Darling Downs will be staged on 21-22 August, celebrating the 25th running since its founding in 1996 and 72 years since the little bush town hosted the 1949 Australian Grand Prix.

With more than 200 cars of all types and vintages competing one-at-a-time against the clock on a one-kilometre closed-street course around the township the noise and smell encapsulates the excitement.

We have four double weekend passes to give away to lucky readers so they can get close to the action.

Charges pressed over incident at Wallangarra

By Dominique Tassell

Heavy vehicle freight drivers coming from states outside Queensland now have new requirements at the border.

Border rules put in place

By Dominique Tassell Heavy vehicle freight drivers coming from states outside Queensland now have new requirements at the border, after they came into effect on Friday 30 July.

Drivers will need to obtain and display an appropriate Freight and Logistics Pass and adhere to a Covid-19 testing regimen before entering Queensland.

From 1am on Friday 30 July, heavy vehicles without an approved Freight and Logistics pass are not permitted to cross the border and will be turned around.

Most importantly, drivers need to show proof that they have tested negative to Covid-19 within the past seven days if they have been in a declared Covid-19 hotspot.

Drivers coming from the New South Wales Local Government Areas of Fairfield, Liverpool, Bankstown, Cumberland, Blacktown,

Parramatta, Campbelltown and Georges River have even stricter requirements.

Heavy vehicle freight drivers coming from these areas have to produce evidence of having a Covid-19 test result within three days of attempting to enter Queensland.

A spokesperson for Queensland Police Services stated that drivers working within the border zone only may be able to apply for the Border Zone Pass only, but have to get the Freight and Logistics Pass if they travel any further.

Drivers are encouraged to apply for the new pass even if they are only travelling within the border zone.

Police have been working closely with the trucking industry to ensure drivers understand the new border pass requirements.

More than 75 heavy vehicles have been turned around recently at the border for invalid border passes or other compliance issues.

The 43-year-old man who was previously issued with fines over an incident at Wallangarra last week has been charged.

He has been charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle following investigations into the incident, which occurred at a heavy vehicle traffic stop on July 21.

The driver of the vehicle was originally issued with four infringement notices after he produced invalid border passes before allegedly becoming abusive and striking parts of his truck with his fists.

The driver allegedly ignored requests to produce his driver’s license when advised he would be turned around to New South Wales.

When the driver saw an infringement notice being issued, he then allegedly performed a U-Turn when one was not permitted and this allegedly resulted in him almost hitting a police officer.

It is alleged that he drove away at speed, leaving skid marks, and that he was required to be followed.

The truck was followed to a service sta-

tion in New South Wales where he was again spoken to by police however it is alleged he refused to get out of the cab and began throwing items out of the driver’s seat window.

Police managed to negotiate with the driver, and explained his border pass requirements and helped him complete a new pass.

He was charged at the time with one Failing to Comply – Covid 19 Border Direction, and three traffic infringement notices for failing to produce a driver’s license, failing to wear seatbelt and conducting a U-Turn over a single or double white line.

He has now been issued with a Notice to Appear (NTA) for dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and will appear in the Stanthorpe Magistrates Court on September 22.

This comes as new border requirements for heavy vehicle freight drivers came into effect last week.

They will need to obtain and display an appropriate Freight and Logistics Pass and adhere to a Covid-19 testing regimen before entering Queensland.

The 43-year-old man who was previously issued with fines over an incident at Wallangarra last week has been charged.

Model T Fords roll into town

By Dominique Tassell The T Model Owners Club of Queensland showcased 30 Ford T Model cars on Saturday 24 July at Pierpoint Motors on Maryland Street in Stanthorpe.

The Ford T Model is widely credited as the car that popularised automobile travel due to

it being marketed towards the middle class at a relatively affordable price, and remains one of the most sold cars in history.

The event was sponsored by Pierpoint Motors, M&D AutoParts, Pink Poppies, Top Beat Entertainment, and Injule Property Management.

The Spin An Olympics to remember As we finalise this edition of Spin there are just five more days of Olympic glory remaining.

No one knew what to expect of these Olympics with COVID restrictions, no crowds, some members of the Japanese community rallying for the event to be cancelled and all athletes having a vastly different preparation to what they could have ever imagined.

I for one have found the action riveting.

As an Australian, and especially a Queenslander, it is impossible not to be super proud of what the Aussie’s have achieved to date.

There have been some outstanding individual and team performances as well as some real disappointment and heartache.

One of the things I have most enjoyed is the access families have given the sporting loving public their personal experiences.

We have been given the opportunity to ride the tidal wave of family’s emotions as they watch their sons, daughters, brothers, sisters and grandkids from their loungerooms.

Our great medal tally to date has not just been about the swimmers.

Who will forget the heartbreak and then absolute relief and elation of Jess Fox who finally won a gold medal.

Our track and field athletes have also been outstanding. There are a clutch of Olympians originally from the Darling Downs and the Southern Downs who have done us proud with their achievements.

The Olympic journey is not all about medals.

The back-stories of overcoming adversity and pitting yourself against the best in the world are often riveting.

One of my absolute favourite performances to this point is the extraordinary and seemingly ageless equestrian Andrew Hoy. At 62, Hoy added a bronze medal to his impressive tally in the individual equestrian event 37 years after making his Olympic debut.

He can add that to the gold medal he won in the event in Sydney.

Hoy also helped the Australian team to silver in the team event.

It is his fourth Olympic medal in the team event, having won gold with Australia at the 1992, 1996 and 2000 Olympics.

He is now Australia’s oldest Olympic medallist. But wait - don’t think he’s hanging up his saddle . After claiming the individual bronze, he declared his career is not over and we could see him in Paris – don’t write him off.

Only five more days to soak this all in before the flame of Toyoko is extinguished.

Where’s the remote?

- Casey

ALLMAN PARK ACTION It was all systems go for the seven-event TAB race meeting at Allman Park on Monday.

As a result of the current COVID lockdown in Southeast Queensland, Racing’s governing body, Racing Queensland updated COVID advice and protocols, and Essential Racing Personnel were required to wear face masks at all times.

Unlike race meetings in loc locked out of the meeting.

Punters got off on the right foot when the well fancied favourite Go Wandji sprinted away in the straight with opening event, the Hector Hockings Memorial Class Three over 1100 metres.

The Toowoomba trained and owned fouryear-old was confidently ridden by Jackson Murphy.

The gelding was returning from a break and put the writing on the wall with a solid trial in Toowoomba a few weeks ago.

Starting a very warm favourite at $1.35, Go 32 TODAY Thursday, 5 August, 2021

Jockey Georgina Cartwright and trainer Tony Gollan have formed a great partnership. They combined on Monday for a race to race double at Allman Park with Mother’s Day and Chelsea Reign.

Wandji made it three wins from as many starts and could not have been more impressive.

Punters were on-song in the second event, the Peter Watt Memorial QTIS handicap for three-year-olds over the 800-metre sprint trip, where well-backed Beaudesert visitor Million Stars did not disappoint his followers.

Jockey Travis Wolfgram trailed the leaders into the straight and finished strongly over the top of the Les Clarke-trained Life’s a Gift and Eagle Farm visitor Rising Spirit to win by half a length who started equal favourites. There was plenty of support for the winner who started at $4.80 after as much as $7.50 was bet.

A field of eight lined up in the next, the Trevor Locke Memorial Sprint also over 800 metres. Punters landed another body blow to the bookmakers when topweight and $1.80 favourite Copper Sunset finished too strongly for another from the Les Clarke stable, Peta Calada ($12). The winner, a lightly raced fouryear-old, now has three wins from five starts.

Sunshine Coast trainer Tom Button and apprentice Zac Llyod combined to win the Mick Rawlins Memorial Maiden over 1500metres with Sejana, another lightly raced and newly minted four-year-old after all horses celebrated their birthday on 1 August. The Sebring colt was bred locally at Canning Downs and did his early racing under Gary Portelli in Sydney before he was transferred to Button’s Sunshine Coast Stable. He attracted plenty of attention from punters and was another shortener. After opening at $9.50 the colt, patiently ridden by Zac Lloyd, landed some good bets and started at $4.80. The favourite Ice Elite was slowly away from the barriers and was only narrowly beaten on the line.

Punters were on the money in the TAB Benchmark 62 over 1200 metres.

Starting $2.50 favourite, Mother’s Day from the Tony Gollan stable was well handled by Georgina Cartwright who sat midfield in the early stages and following the pattern of racing throughout the afternoon got her horse to the outside in the straight, finishing strongly to win by a length from another Les Clarke galloper Grandioso who was being hailed the winner in the straight with Swan Island back third.

Gollan and Cartwright combined to win the next event, the Colleen Burgess Memorial 0 - 55 Handicap (1100 METRES), with Chelsea Reign.

Cartwright was again content to sit back

midfield and worked into the race nicely coming to the turn. The mare had work to do when she got to the outside in the straight but went home strongly to score by a length over Very Soon and Love Son. Chelsea Reign was another for the punters, starting favourite at $3.20 to give Gollan and Cartwright a back-to-back double at the meeting.

Local trainer Les Clarke saddled up favourite Test of War in the final event and was looking for a change of fortune after three of his gallopers finished second in earlier races. Test of War had the big field off the bit in the midstages of the race with 14 lengths covering first to last.

Test of War led into the straight and on a day when conditions looked to suit back markers the favourite looked like fighting off all challengers before rank outsider Native Bee powered home in the final few bounds to grab the lead.

Perhaps the only people cheering for the six-year-old, other than connections, were the bookmakers. The winner, trained by Damien Rideout from Thangool and ridden by Les Tilley, started at $61, finally giving bookmakers some reprieve.

It wrapped up the Warwick Turf club meeting which paid tribute to; Peter Watt, Hector Hockings, Mick Rawlins, Colleen Burgess, Johnny Barbierato and Trevor Locke who all played a significant role at Allman Park over the years.

Racing action does not return to Allman Park now until the big Warwick Cup day 9 October.

ROSER ACES 12TH As 31 July rolled round on Saturday, it marked the end of the month medley fourball stableford competition for Stanthorpe golfers. The event, sponsored by 4Water Supplies, Included a number of visitors from Beaudesert and Bribie Island.

Conditions were a vast improvement on previous weeks and the absolute highlight of the day was Terry Roser’s tee shot at the 12th hole. Hitting a six iron from the tee, Roser’s ball landed on the green and on the next bounce disappeared into the hole for a hole in one.

He didn’t see his ball disappearing down the hole and went searching all over the green for it before his fellow players informed him the missing ball was actually “in the hole”. Naturally he held the pin shot for the men at the 12th.

After the hi-jinks at the 12th, three teams

returned the best score of 44 points for the day requiring a complex countback to find the winner. In the end, to came down to the last six holes before Chris Binge and Nathan Stibbard took the event ahead of Kev Rowling and Darryl Boekholt.

The third team on 44 points were visitors R Brown and S Brook who settled for the run down.

With the pin shot at 12 out of play courtesy of Roser the remaining pin shots went to Jacob Steele (3) and Nathan Stibbard (17).

The Ladies pins were held by Madeline Jarmine (3), Nikki Waterworth (12) and Kay Webb (17). The Pro-pins claimed by Mark Hendry, 1/10 and 5/14 and Scott Constable at 9/18. Finally, a winner for the birdies nest, this week claimed by Ivan Juriss, a three at the par four seventh hole.

On Saturday members will play for the August monthly medal and putting competition.

It is another chance to qualify for the Medal of Medallists at the end of the year. The round is sponsored by Stanthorpe Newsagency. There is a time sheet on the board at the club and tee off is from 11.00 am.

FINE PERFORMANCES AT RISDON The Southern Downs Rifle Club members were back on the Risdon Range on Sunday at the 300-yard mound.

There was an excellent turn-out for the combined competition at 300 yards and the spring like weather made a welcome change for the shooters. It resulted in some fine performances from the winners of each category.

Results: 300 yards Military Ian Gaines (89.3); Tom Higgins (75.1) Hunter Sporter Richard McKillop (54.2) F Std Greg Wilson (125.16); Abe Basson (118.6); Dave Taylor (116.3); Craig Montgomery (112.3); Owen Basson (101.1); Sonja Basson (95.1); Anil Basson (94.1); Charlie Montgomery (85).

BACK ON THE COURT Stanthorpe Mallet players welcomed the change in conditions which allowed them back on court this past week.

The Association Croquet group were the first to hit the court Tuesday (27). Jenny Tunbridge has been in good touch in recent weeks and Tuesday partnered Heather Widderick against Grace Howard and Effey Russell. It was a close game throughout and despite Howard scoring one run of two hoops and another of three and a run of two from Russell it was not enough to prevent their opponents from taking a 22-19 win.

Tunbridge scored a run of two and another of three while Widderick also played well to set up the win.

The Golf Croquet ladies played Wednesday (28). Kathy Hopgood (4), Kim Foster (1) and Sharyn Roser (5), played Di Wren (2), Shirley Page (6), and Shirley Evans (2). Wren, Evans and Page were off to a flying start with some strategic and attacking play, especially against Roser. Wren managed to “roquet” Roser’s ball away from the hoop to prevent her scoring on several occasions. In the later stages of the game, the advantage turned to Hopgood, Foster and Roser. The game ended in a 10-all draw. In a great game Roser scored two hole in ones and Page also scored one. Kathy Hopgood showed great accuracy acute angle accuracy throughout the game.

In the second game, Shirley Page (7), and Kim Foster (3), played Di Wren (5), and Kathy Hopgood (8). Hopgood once again played very well played very well showing great accuracy at the hoop and on the long shots.

Jenny Tunbridge, Grace Howard and Heather Widderick played the red balls in the first two games and faced the white ball team of Les Williams and Sharyn Roser. In the opening game, the Reds got off to a flying start. The white team struggled to strike the balls with precision. the Reds kept their opponent’s balls off the court for a large part of this game leading to a 16-18 win after scoring one Agari at the end of the game.

In the second game roles were reversed as the white team dominated with accurate play.

All this came after Les Williams changed his sunglasses. Ent on to win 13-9..

Whites again got the upper hand and kept reds on the back foot to take the win 13-7, with one Agari. In the final game, reds got off to a slow start and had difficulty getting their balls through the first hoop and into play. There was a shift in momentum when whites hit a lot of balls out of play as the greens dried out and became faster. Reds finished with a comfortable 19-7 win in a game where three Agaris were scored.

EVANS SHINES The sunny skies that greeted the ladies playing the RSL midweek competition in Stanthorpe were very welcome. It made playing conditions in the 18-hole individual stableford far more pleasant.

Lynnette Ludlow was runner up. Nearest to the pin on the 12th and 5/14 was Linda Kelly. Lisa Stuart held the pin shot on the17th.

TRL ROUND 15 TKO’D BY LOCKDOWN Round 15 of the TRL competition received a knockout blow thanks to the QRL reaction to the urgent COVID lockdown last weekend. The Lockyer Valley was one of the regions slapped with stay-at-home orders thereby grounding the Gatton Hawks.

The Dalby Diehards were to have hosted Gatton in what should have been an important round 15 clash.

Following a directive from the QRL, all TRL games in round 15 were cancelled. At this point the TRL has indicated that as a result of the lockdown all round 15 games have been declared null and void and will not be rescheduled. Importantly there will be no alteration to the leader board. This action which in light of the snap lockdown looked unavoidable has many up in arms as wins in the final few games of the fixture season are imperative for those teams pushing to get themselves into final’s contention.

With the lockdown now extended until at least Sunday, 9 August the QRL has announced that all State competitions for this weekend have been cancelled. These games are expected to be rescheduled. There has been no advice from the TRL as to the fate of the TRL round 16 fixtures games. It is understood that the TRL are holding a Directors meeting on Tuesday night. That is expected to be followed by a meeting with all club delegates on Thursday where the fate of the remaining fixtures will be discussed. As this edition of Spin goes to print no firm decisions have been made however TRL representatives are adamant that, if necessary, they will make the tough decisions as they have a responsibility to the community. It is difficult however to see this round of games going ahead given the large number of players who travel from the locked down LGA’s to play in the TRL.s While there are some teams who will be frustrated at these disruptions there will be plenty of players carrying niggling injuries who might be relishing the break.

SCORES IMPROVE ALONG WITH CONDITIONS With the Stanthorpe Golf course continuing to dry out Sporters were hoping to see some improved scores as they headed out on the front nine for the weekly competition last Sunday.

Angelo Maugeri took advantage of those conditions and was able to keep the ball in play and use the extra roll to his advantage.

The end result, a score of nett 24, saw him return to the winner’s circle.

Mick Irwin and Brendon Barker both finished one shot behind the winner and the runner’s up spot decided with a cut of the cards.

The Cards favoured Mick Irwin and Barker collected in the run. He also returned the best gross score of the day; 40 for the round.

With only one pin shot in play at the shorter third hole, the breeze ensured everyone missed the green so the balls on offer went back to the cupboard.

Next Sunday, Sporters play the back nine with tee off from closer to 8.00 am which should allow a couple of late comers to slip into the field.

BIRTHDAY CLEBRATIONS EXTEND TO THE GREEN There was plenty of celebrating at the Southern Cross Bowls Club last Sunday as Julie Foster celebrated her 50th birthday. Despite the celebration she still played bowls in afternoon and was joined by quite a few non bowlers keen to try their hand in two shortened games of eight ends.

Naturally as should be the case when you are celebrating a milestone, Julie Foster, Eddie Roosen, Peter Towell and Kaylene had an 11-2 win over Liam Holland, Sophia Holland, Jude Cahill and Linley Dopey . More reason to celebrate.

Wayne Foster, Kylie Roosen, Ian Harrower and Sorelle Roosen defeated Colin Philps, Lee Roosen, Brian Muller and Sienna Roosen 5 - 3.

Corey Hodsen , Clark Davidson and Barry Ziebell had a comfortable 26-15 win against Roger Cavanagh, Linda Hartley and Kim Hankinson.

In an interesting result that had many scratching their heads Al Thornton, Joe Torrisi

and Kev Mooney lost 27-12 to Bill Lee’s team of Barry Frame and Gary Penn.

The Birthday girl won the lion’s share of the wine in the raffle, again, leaving just one bottle for Linley. Other prizes went the way of Kim Hankinson, Barry Frame, Marlene Hall, the Davidson Bros, Peter Towell, Kaylene and Colin Philps.

Julie would like to thank everyone who helped her celebrated and especially the ladies who took care of the catering and Al who did a great job in the bar making sure no one was thirsty.

REDBACKS HOME AGAINST SWANS While the TRL fixtures last weekend were cancelled round 13 of the Darling Downs AFL competition went ahead unscathed.

The Warwick Redbacks played an away game against cellar dwellers Dalby Swans and scored a comfortable 14.6-90 win to the Swans 6.5-41.

The Redbacks took an early lead kicking six goals to Dalby’s one in opening quarter to lead 36/6. The Redbacks continued to build on their lead and at the main break had 49/25 lead.

It was necessary for Warwick to assert their authority in the third quarter, and they kicked another two goals and two behinds to extend their lead to 10. 3/63 – Dalby 5. 3/33.

In the final quarter the Redbacks put the game beyond doubt adding four goals and a behind to seal the deal.

It was a good performance from the Redbacks across the park, but Sam Noller, Ethan Neuendorf, Adam Kosiek, Brandon Peltz, Tyler Peltz and Matt Owen’s were their best.

The goal kickers were E. Neuendorf (2), B. Peltz, A. Kosiek, M. Owen, M. McDougall The Redbacks face a tough road trip this week in the final round of fixtures. They play Goondiwindi at home on Saturday.
