A driving concern had successfully delivered safety treatments on four sections of the road between Stanthorpe and Ballandean.

Mr Saunders said the project had been challenging for several reasons, but the “final touches” of the project had been completed.

Just days prior to the release of Mr Saunders’ statement, Stanthorpe and Granite Belt

Chamber of Commerce President Graham Parker said he met with some Queensland Transport and Main Roads representatives to discuss the state of the highway.

Mr Parker said of most concern to him was that the road had actually begun to ‘disintegrate’ after recent rain, and driving along it had become a safety risk.

“Someone’s going to die on that highway.

It’s going to happen.”

A TMR spokesperson said the road-widening project on the road south of Stanthorpe was completed last month, however the contractor will still have to carry out repairs “if or when they are identified”.

Rather than all of we self-appointed commentators toing and froing through letters, how about SDRC putting all of the different expert consultants reports on the council web page. That way people can read the reports for themselves and it would help keep people honest.

It would be important to ensure the GHD report, the State government presentation and report to council and the Badu reports were included.

I would also like to see recent costings for the various top three GHD recommendations.

The final item to be included would be a decision making matrix where council clearly lay out the pluses and minuses of the various options so it is clear that a non partisan logical decision making process occurred.

This is critical to ensure SDRC choose the best way forward to ensure water resilience for our community.

I believe the above has to happen to restore community confidence in council. What do other people think?

P.S. If the council’s proposal to put out their own information sheet can not be evidenced by expert consultants’ reports, we will still be stuck in a battle of pushing selective information and allowing propaganda and spin to win the day. And that will be a tragedy for ratepayers and democracy.

Response to dam brigade Dear Mr Emu Swamp brigader, you are probably aware that in debating the lowest (least intelligent) forms of persuasion are said to be 1. Attacking the ‘opponent’ and not their argument.

2. Slinging fabricated ‘mud’ (trying to insult your opponents) 3. Using sarcasm and innuendo These sort of strategies are typically used when the debater has a weak argument.

Get in touch with us...

Warwick Today and Stanthorpe Today are always seeking news leads directly from our readers and the community across the Warwick and Stanthorpe areas – whether it’s a human interest story, an upcoming community event or fundraiser, or an anonymous tip about an issue of local concern.

Feel free to contact our editorial team, including after-hours. Sources of confidential information will always be protected.

Letters to the editor on any topic are also welcomed.

The use of these strategies demeans the debater and their point of view.

I understand that is why you won’t reveal yourself – it would be shaming.

However since you seem not to understand things (or are playing a political game) let me express my point simply.

The SDRC’s plan should be to follow the expert consultants advice (after all they have paid out a reputed $2 million dollars for it).

But remember the consultants’ advice was with respect to water security for Stanthorpe.

It was not about whether or not Emu Swamp Dam was a good idea for irrigators.

My comments relate to the councils involvement not about growers’ involvement.

Smart people follow good advice.

As I’ve said previously ratepayers expect council to work in the best interest of ratepayers and if those ratepayers have concerns council should honestly and openly address them instead of hiding behind people like yourself who demean everybody in totally unchristian ways.

Experts have pointed out potential significant financial risks for we ratepayers by SDRC signing up to become customers of the dam. That is my concern.

John Morison, Stanthorpe

Dam questions Dear editor, the brigade of damnation strikes again. Please do remain anonymous no one really cares. Is POW in the room with you now Karen?

Again the usual attempt at bullying and contempt, demanding opposition to the dam come up with all the answers for you to push your business plan.

Please instead of trying to individually attack and deride how about you just explain how this proposed dam is going to be paid for by ratepayers and who the ratepayers are doing business with ie foreign investment.

These are simple questions you refuse to answer, why? If you are so self assured.

The editor’s desk I strongly believe that it is a politician’s job to represent their community’s views, regardless of whether they conflict with their own.

I have an immense amount of respect for politicians who have stood up for the views of their community when it is not necessarily their own view.

Unfortunately, not all politicians make this choice.

Member for Southern Downs, James Lister, has announced he will not be supporting the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill next month even though the majority of the community supports it.

This is an issue that I am particularly passionate about as both my father and grandfather received palliative care.

While for my grandfather it was the right choice, I believe my father suffered as a result.

My father died of cancer in 2018, and my siblings and I were responsible for his care and eventually his medical decisions after he lost capacity to make those choices himself.

While many who oppose voluntary assisted dying state that palliative care is a dignified way to end a life, the reality is often far from it.

Maybe the problem is that for some people, the picture they have of voluntary assisted dying is an elderly person who is being forced into it because their family believes they are a burden.

This just simply is not the case. It’s a risk, yes, but one that has been mitigated extensively.

Maybe the problem, too, is that the image people paint of palliative care is one of sunshine and rainbows.

For some people, palliative care is just about keeping someone from being in total agony but not necessarily curing their pain.

My father lay in pain for hours until we deemed his pain too high and I had to go ask for another dose.

I should not have had to make that choice at 21 years old.

I should not have to carry around the weight of feeling responsible for my father’s death because palliative care failed him.

My father should not have been in so much pain that I had to make that choice.

Maybe my father wouldn’t have made the choice to go ahead with voluntary assisted dying, and I would have supported whatever choice he made, but I strongly believe he should have had the choice.

Highway concern

By Jess Baker

A Glen Aplin resident was transported to hospital on 18 August after a kerosene heater exploded in her home.

Woman hurt in fire

By Dominique Tassell

The Stanthorpe and Granite Belt Chamber has written to TMR numerous times with concerns about the highway.

Picture: SUPPLIED the big black rubber bases from the bollard,” he said.

“So what used to be nine bollards is now three because they just have been hit by cars … on a federal highway. And there’s smashed bits of plastic everywhere.

“Someone’s going to die on that highway.

It’s going to happen.”

Mr Parker said he would not rest until the New England Highway was safe.

A TMR spokesperson said the road-widen-

ing project on the road south of Stanthorpe was completed last month, however the contractor will still have to carry out repairs “if or when they are identified”.

“There have been several identified and we are working with the contractors to ensure they are repaired appropriately,” the spokesperson said.

“Once the contracted repairs are completed, we will resume regular monitoring of the area under its routine maintenance program.”

Lifesaving kits donated to first responders

By Jess Baker The Rotary Club of Stanthorpe and Member for Southern Downs James Lister have united to help prevent fatalities and serious injuries among local police.

Satellite Club Secretary Ann Richardson said members of the group decided to action sponsorship of the purchase of a personalised Tacmed Trauma Kit for each Stanthorpe police officer upon learning the police were planning to purchase their own.

“Blood loss is quick and is one of the main causes of pre-hospital fatalities,” Ann said.

“Without proper action, someone can die within minutes. Motor vehicle crashes, industrial, farming and sporting incidents can result in major haemorrhage.”

She said Stanthorpe Police were usually the first responders in traumatic situations, yet they lacked necessary lifesaving equipment.

“With the Tacmed Kits attached to their

personal equipment vest, the Stanthorpe police officers can now reduce waiting time for the injured and action lifesaving first aid,” Ann said.

“Rotary Satellite Club of Stanthorpe thanks local paramedic Andrew Bell for drawing this issue to their attention and Southern Downs MP James Lister for sponsoring, on behalf of the local community, the purchase of the personal trauma kits.”

The trauma kits are designed to be carried with police officers wherever they ride, equipping them with the tools needed to save a life.

Mr Lister said his time in the military emphasised to him the value of trauma kits.

“It keeps people alive long enough to get to a hospital,” he said.

“We’ve seen quite a few police officers die in the line of duty in recent years. We run away from trouble and they run towards it.

“I think it’s a nice thing to be able to just provide them with that bit of extra assurance.”

Stanthorpe police officer Sergeant Shane Gleeson explained how the trauma kits would assist local police.

A Glen Aplin resident was transported to hospital on 18 August after a kerosene heater exploded in her home.

Emergency services were alerted to the fire just before 7:30pm.

Two fire crews attended the scene on Cavallaro Road in Glen Aplin, most likely from station 25 in Stanthorpe.

A representative from Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) stated that the fire was out a few minutes after they arrived.

“It was nothing too major,” they stated.

Queensland Ambulance Services were on the scene, and transported a female resident of the home to Stanthorpe Hospital.

The woman had reportedly tried to put the fire out herself, and was taken to hospital for smoke inhalation.

QFES remained on the scene until just after 8pm, when they left the scene in the hands of the owner.

QFES states that you should always position clothes, newspapers, kindling, and other flammable materials at least one metre from any heater.

They also recommend you ensure only the approved fuel is used in liquidfuelled heaters.

It is recommended that you choose a portable heater that has an automatic safety switch that turns the heater off if tipped over.

Turning off your heater when going to bed or leaving the house is also important, as is positioning portable heaters away from areas of heavy traffic.

QFES recommends having fire safety products in your home.

“Fire blankets and fire extinguishers can be helpful in putting out a minor fire.”

12509797-HC35-21

Months of safety works on the New England Highway have come to an end, but some locals are adamant the road is not only an accident waiting to happen; it’s a fatality waiting to happen.

On Tuesday 17 August, after almost a year of roadworks, Assistant Regional Roads Minister Bruce Saunders said the $19.4 million project had successfully delivered safety treatments on four sections of the road between Stanthorpe and Ballandean.

“These works included widening the road to install a centre line and safer turning conditions at key intersections, clearing vegetation to improve visibility, culvert extensions and replacements, road repairs and new line marking,” Mr Saunders said.

“These treatments increase the safety for all road users and the communities next to the New England Highway.”

Mr Saunders said the project had been challenging for several reasons, but the “final touches” of the project had been completed.

Just days prior to the release of Mr Saunders’ statement, Stanthorpe and Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce President Graham Parker said he met with some Queensland Transport and Main Roads representatives to discuss the state of the highway.

Mr Parker said the TMR representatives spent more than three hours driving up and down the highway, compiling a list of defects.

“TMR acknowledge that this is a safety concern, they just need to – or the contractors need to – get something done with it,” he said.

“All I can do is make a lot of noise.”

Mr Parker said of most concern to him was that the road had actually begun to ‘disintegrate’ after recent rain, and driving along it had become a safety risk.

Border rules taking a toll

By Jess Baker Farmers and residents either side of the NSWQueensland border say they are facing enormous financial losses and mental distress as a result of current border restrictions.

At the time of going to print, NSW border zone residents could only enter Queensland for a limited range of essential reasons.

The Queensland government strongly advised travellers reconsider their need to cross the border, even if essential.

Granite belt vegetable grower Ray Taylor of Taylor Family Produce said the strict border restrictions would likely cost his business between $1.5 and $1.8 million in turnover.

With properties in Liston NSW, and virtually all Taylor’s staff based in Queensland, Mr Taylor made the difficult decision to abandon planting across the border.

The decision is expected to cost the business $350,000.

“Financially, we’ve put all the inputs in this block over there. We’ve put fumigation, fertiliser … that’s all been wasted now,” Mr Taylor said.

“We can’t use it so it’ll sit there idle. That’s all money we’ve laid out front.”

Mr Taylor said his business had 10 fewer employees than usual as a result of the border closure, and sending the 40 staff it had managed to retain to NSW wasn’t an option.

“We can take staff into NSW – and they’re all Queensland-based staff – but we can’t bring them back into Queensland unless they quarantine for 14 days,” he said.

“And there’s no accommodation out there to

put them in because it’s pretty remote there.”

To survive the effects of the border closure, Taylor’s decided to plant less and plant at its Amiens farm in Queensland.

“It’s going to put a gap in our production system for a couple of weeks because we’ve had to move everything around … we had to get new country opened up (and) we weren’t planning on doing (that),” Mr Taylor said.

“We had a program in place where we had all our ground preparation ready, all our fertiliser inputs, everything was ready to go to start transplanting. Now (the border closure has) put us three weeks behind.”

Liston residents, despite being a short 15 minute drive from Stanthorpe, are also currently struggling to cope with Queensland’s strict border restrictions.

One resident, who asked to remain anonymous, said despite growing up in Stanthorpe, owning a business in Severnlea, and having a son who attends school in Stanthorpe, she is unable to enter the community.

“I haven’t tried to go through the border since Wednesday (18 August),” she said.

“They let me through on Wednesday to get groceries and fuel for my generator, and I was told then that after Friday (20 August) I would not be allowed through for any reason whatsoever except for one, and that’s to get the vaccination.”

The resident said she was trapped in a “scary” limbo. She could not work, her son could not attend his school, and she couldn’t collect groceries.

She said Tenterfield, despite being the closest town to her on her side of the border, was

Southern Downs MP James Lister said he received countless reports from residents either side of the NSW-Queensland border disadvantaged by the closure.

Picture: FILE too far to travel for essential items as she was not allowed to travel further than five kilometres from her home.

“It’s really contradictory. A few people (from Liston) have been through since Friday and had no problems,” she said.

“Another lady I know who has had both vaccinations, she wasn’t allowed through.

“I think it just depends who you get on the day, but at the moment I don’t want to risk wasting fuel to drive there and then have to drive back. It’s just very scary to be honest.”

Member for Southern Downs James Lister wrote to the Queensland government on Wednesday 18 August, requesting agribusiness workers on the border are allowed to cross the Queensland-NSW border.

“In the absence of vital information necessary for persons and businesses involved in agribusinesses, significant primary production and associated activities have been brought to a standstill, or have suffered major and costly disruption,” Mr Lister wrote.

“Many of the impacted agribusiness operations are subject to critical time constraints due to evolving seasonal conditions, seedling life, workforce employment engagements and strict supply contract obligations.

“Under these circumstances, it is absolutely essential that a full and cogent directive which attends to agribusiness and its workers be approved and published.”

On Monday 23 August, Mr Lister said he still had not received a response, and the rights of essential agribusiness workers were still not clear.

He said that he did not object to the Queensland-NSW border closure, but he and other LNP members who represent border regions had been systematically excluded from discussions about border closure arrangements.

“Attempts by my office, and my own attempts, to get the Premier to include me in discussions about this has fallen on deaf ears … it’s been like this for 18 months.”

Mr Lister said he would be speaking to LNP leader David Crisafulli about renewing his promise to introduce a cross border commissioner.

Infrastructure charges to increase by 35 per cent

By Jess Baker

The council’s infrastructure charge rates will increase later this year in a number of development categories, including residential. implementation of the Southern Downs Planning Scheme by adopting a charge for funding part of the establishment cost of infrastructure networks like water supply, sewerage, and public parks.

Under the new resolution, charges on new residential dwellings will increase from $10,000 per dwelling unit to $21,500 per dwelling unit.

Charges on long term accommodation facilities will also increase per dwelling unit,

councils with populations of a similar size, ascertaining that rates for the Southern Downs will be higher than that of regional councils including South Burnett and Gympie, and lower than that of regional councils including Toowoomba and Western Downs.

Cr Pennisi said SDRC had also significantly reduced developer holding costs to encourage growth in local housing stock.

“If you buy a block of land, you’ll be paying rates on it … when you do a development, that starts the day that it’s stamped,” he said.

“What we’ve done is remove 77 per cent of those costs, so those holding costs aren’t as high as they were.”

Cr Pennisi said developer holding costs were more often an impediment to developments of land than upfront costs were, so the changes could encourage new blocks being brought to market.

The new charges resolution adopted by SDRC will replace the council’s current 2015 resolution in November.

It should soon be available for viewing on the council’s website and will be attached to the Southern Downs Planning Scheme.

12508054-JW33-21

Southern Downs Regional Council has voted to increase infrastructure charges on new developments from November this year.

The council adopted a new charges resolution at an ordinary meeting held Wednesday 11 August, which takes effect on 15 November.

A report tabled at the meeting stated the most significant proposed change within the charges resolution will be to increase the infrastructure charge rate.

“To assist with the provision of trunk infrastructure in the region and to reduce the burden on the existing community to meet the obligation to fund this infrastructure, it is proposed to increase the infrastructure charge rate by 35 per cent,” the report read.

“This will ensure that all charge rates are 29 per cent below the maximum charge.

Whilst this is still substantially cheaper than the maximum charge, it will provide a necessary increase without causing a large imposition on new developments.”

The report stated the purpose of the charges resolution was to assist with the

retirement facility or relocatable home park from $7500 to $21,500, and charges per suite in rooming accommodation or community residence will increase from $2500 to $21,500.

Short term accommodation facilities like hotels and tourist parks will also see substantial increases in infrastructure charges.

Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi said the changes will ease the financial strain on ratepayers as they will no longer have to subsidise developers’ costs.

“The cost of providing infrastructure to a development is in the vicinity of $25,000,” Cr Pennisi said.

“And the charges were $10,000. And so consequently the ratepayers were funding approximately $15,000 of every development that happened in the region.

“Why is it fair that ratepayers fund that cost?”

The report tabled at the meeting indicated the changes would bring developer contributions towards infrastructure in the region closer to industry standards.

Council officers compared SDRC’s new infrastructure charge rates to that of other

Outage confusion continues

By Dominique Tassell

Maryvale Community Hall has purchased a number of new items in the last year thanks to grants, including solar panels.

Major funding boost

By Jess Baker Two Southern Downs community groups have secured a $50,000 funding boost to help them recover from the effects of drought and Covid-19.

Member for Maranoa David Littleproud announced on Wednesday 18 August that Maryvale Community Hall Inc and the Southern Downs Steam Railway Association would receive $48,238 under round 21 of the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal’s Tackling Tough Times Together program.

“I’m pleased to see the Maryvale Community Hall Inc has been awarded $29,580 to freshening up the community hub. This project will help to reduce isolation through rejuvenating a meeting space that supports community connectedness for drought affected residents,” Mr Littleproud said.

“Additionally, the Southern Downs Steam Railway Association will receive $18,658 to install rainwater storage within the precinct.”

Maryvale Community Hall Inc secretary

Shane Kimber said the funding brought the total amount the hall had received in grants since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic to around $100,000.

“We’ve got nice new curtains on the stage, we’ve put in a PA system that we didn’t have before, we’ve put in a screen and a protector, we’ve updated the lighting, we’ve got funding for air conditioning, we’ve put on solar power and updated the power board,” Ms Kimber said.

“We’ve refurbished the floor, we’ve had wired all the smoke alarms, (and) we’ve got a defibrillator.”

She said the hall had been “really lucky” in receiving funding and would benefit significantly from the items purchased over the last year.

“The majority of people who use the hall on a regular basis are the older members of the community,” Ms Kimber said.

“We need to take care of them with what we’ve got in the hall, but we also need to think about how we can increase income for the hall

because insurance money is a lot of money and if you don’t have an income coming in to look after that, you really don’t have a hall.”

Southern Downs Steam Railway is also set to benefit from round 21 of the program, with plans to use the funds secured to purchase new rain water storage tanks and pipes.

SDSR secretary Kevin Patterson said the upgrade will mean the association will have water even when it’s dry.

“Steam trains use a lot of water, and it has to be good water which is why we need rain water,” Mr Patterson said.

“If we don’t have rain water, if we want to use other water, we’ve got to put all sorts of expensive chemicals in it. So the more rainwater we have, the better chance we have of not having to spend more money than necessary.”

Across Maranoa, 10 projects will benefit from $230,000 of federal funding under the latest round of the Tackling Tough Times Together grant program. Nationwide, 32 projects will share in a total of $1.08 million.

Ergon has once more come under scrutiny for being unclear about outages in the Southern Downs area, with their website listing a seemingly smaller list of affected residents than is accurate.

Ergon has listed several upcoming outages on their website, however this newspaper has received outage notifications from residents on streets not identified by the website as being affected.

Ergon’s website states that there will be three outages on 24 August, with the main street listed as Bridge Street, however McGregor Terrace, Kilpa Street, and Denham Street are also listed.

A resident of a nearby street, unlisted on Ergon’s website, received a notice for this outage.

The website states that 24 customers will be affected, however given other residents have been notified this number could be higher.

Another outage is listed for 25 August, again located at the Bridge Street area.

A further seven Stanthorpe streets have been listed in the outage, and 70 customers will reportedly be affected.

Included in this listing is an outage reportedly affecting one street in Millmerran, leaving it unclear how many of the reported 70 customers affected by the outage are in the Stanthorpe area.

A further three outages are listed as being planned for 27 August, with approximately 177 customers affected.

This once more includes the Bridge Street area, and includes one street in Millmerran again for no apparent reason.

A customer in a street unlisted on the website has once more received notice of an outage on this date affecting their property.

Ergon’s outage finder service comes in two forms which also give conflicting information.

On Monday 23 August, Ergon’s outage finder map listed two outages in the Southern Downs region.

The text view version of the outage finder only listed one outage at the time.

One of the outages, located in Glen Aplin, was listed as planned.

The second outage, in Freestone, was not listed on the text view version of the outage finder, though it was listed that 53 people would be affected between 9am and 3pm.

The listing on the outage finder map stated that the Freestone was planned.

No unplanned outages were listed.

Helping Indigenous youth headspace Warwick is joining with the community to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people to take charge of their social and emotional wellbeing.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples aged 24 and under are three times more likely than other young people to die by suicide.

Responding to this urgent need for support, the ‘Take a Step’ suite of resources encourages Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people to recognise the signs that’s something’s not right – and provides small, practical steps towards feeling better.

The materials have been developed in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members from across Australia, including a reference group of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people with lived experience of mental ill-health. headspace Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural practice & engagement coordinator, William Oui, described ‘Take a Step’ as a unique and powerful approach to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social and emotional wellbeing.

“This is a campaign for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who understand

that it’s important to yarn up and seek help when you’re not feeling too deadly,” William, a Torres Strait Islander man, said.

“Take a Step understands the need to think about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander wellbeing holistically, considering the ways our culture, identity, place and spirituality can make us feel strong.” headspace Warwick community engagement officer, Anna-Selina Kager, said: “Our local centre is proud to be part of the national Take a Step campaign to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people.

“It is immensely important for our collective wellbeing to create awareness in these young people.

“We will be facilitating workshops across several schools and in collaboration with our local community groups, which will provide young people with a toolkit to identify signs that something isn’t right and to know what do to get back on track. “headspace Warwick is available to support all young people aged 12-25 with their social and emotional wellbeing.

“This campaign will form a foundation for young leaders to co-design peer-led activities to create a strong support network within the community.“

Ngarrindjeri woman Nikia Bailey, 21, was part of the headspace Wominjeka youth reference group that led the development of Take a Step.

She said the campaign gives young people like her the tools to spot when something’s wrong and start getting back on track.

“I know this will start some important conversations in my community and will hopefully encourage more young people like me to take the first steps towards better social and emotional wellbeing,” Nikia said.

“There is still a lot of stigma about mental health in the community and that can make it difficult to ask for help.

“But I want people to understand how our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures can empower us to take care of our social and emotional wellbeing.

“When I am having a hard time, my connections with other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples help me understand that I am not alone. We have a shared experience and can support one another.” headspace CEO Jason Trethowan said supporting the health and wellbeing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people was a priority for headspace. “headspace is proud to deliver this impor-

tant message to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young peoples,” he said.

“We are dedicated to supporting young people on their social and emotional wellbeing journey.

“We want to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people to understand what social and emotional wellbeing means and when support might be needed.

“We commend Minister for Indigenous Australians the Hon. Ken Wyatt MP and the Department of Health for recognising the need for a dedicated initiative such as this and for trusting headspace to partner with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to deliver this work.”

The ‘Take a Step’ campaign launched on 16 August, with television and radio advertisements broadcast across the nation and in select cinemas.

A suite of print and online resources for young people, and for family and friends with a young person in their lives, are also now available.

‘Take a Step’ is an initiative of headspace and funded by the Department of Health and Minister for Indigenous Australians.

Redbacks star Iles gets the captain’s call Boy flown to hospital

By Tania Phillips

It is a huge achievement to be considered one of the best players to ever play Aussie Rules on the Darling Downs – to be named captain of a team of the best 22 players in the past 50 years is another step again.

Warwick Redbacks forward Brendan Iles admitted he was shocked to be named captain out of the thousands of players from the 11 clubs who have taken part in AFL Darling Downs competition since it started in 1971.

The 35-year-old was the only Warwick player to make the 22 players chosen in the final team. The independent selection panel, headed by Chris Guice, had originally chosen 50 players from the past 50 years before narrowing it down to a firsts team. Kurt Millard and current Redbacks coach Tyhe Clarkson had been in the original 50 along with Iles.

Iles, who is still playing with Redbacks, said he was honored and shocked to be not only in the side but captain of the team which was named at the AFL Darling Downs presentation night in Toowoomba on Saturday night.

“It was a pretty big honour, a pretty big surprise – some of these players such as the Holman brothers from Goondiwindi and John Green (Coolaroo) who was named at centrehalf forward – I’ve only heard these names,” he said.

“You hear about all of these different eras and players. You’ve never seen them play but you’ve heard stories about how great they were at the game and you’re curious about what made them so great but you never got the chance to play against and see them play.

Then to be named captain and be standing up

By Jess Baker

Best of the best.

AFL Darling Downs celebrated 50 years by naming the best 22 of the past 50 years with Warwick’s Brendan Iles named captain of the commemorative team.

beside them was a true privilege.

“Jim Urquart – I remember doing a rep game where he was a coach I had just kicked off. And there I was on Saturday night standing up in a team named with him.”

It is a once in a life-time honour – though Iles said that he’ll be 85 when they name the 100th year team and joked he would “come off the field and go to the presentation afterwards”.

The father of four, who started playing Rules for the Redbacks after being introduced to it by a friend at high school, has played

nearly his entire career with the Warwick team other than a three-year stint with a Brisbane team Morningside and a year with University when the local team wasn’t fielding a side in Division One. He said he had to make a speech on Saturday night, speaking the 22 selected in the team. As well as congratulating everyone named in the initial 50, he thanked AFL Darling Downs for making him a “better person on and off field” and helping him to build lifelong friendships.

A young boy was airlifted to hospital from a property at Leyburn on Sunday 22 August, after he was “crushed” by a trailer.

A RACQ LifeFlight Rescue spokesman said the primary school aged boy had been standing on a cattle yard gate when a trailer carrying water over-balanced, pinning him between the trailer and the gate.

The Queensland Ambulance Service was called out to the scene about 11.40am and a rescue helicopter was called into action shortly before 11.45am.

A QAS spokeswoman said the boy had sustained head and chest injuries but was in a stable condition.

Upon arriving at the scene, RACQ LifeFlight Rescue’s aeromedical crew worked with QAS paramedics to treat the boy for his injuries.

“He was airlifted to the Queensland Children’s Hospital in a stable condition, accompanied by his mother,“ a RACQ LifeFlight Rescue spokesman stated.

A Children’s Health spokeswoman said the young boy was still at the hospital on Monday 23 August and he was still in a stable condition.

Conscience call on dying

By Dominique Tassell State MPs are being urged to vote in support of the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2021 when it is debated in the Queensland Parliament this September, with data showing the majority of the community are in support of it.

Member for Southern Downs, James Lister, has stated he will not be supporting the bill.

His statement is included in full at the end of this article.

New data shows that voters in the eight state seats in and around Toowoomba and the Darling Downs backed the proposed law reform, including a majority of LNP voters and churchgoers.

My Life My Choice coalition released a statement calling for MPs to vote with their communities views in mind.

The Clem Jones Trust together with Dying With Dignity Queensland (DWDQ), Doctors for Assisted Dying Choice, and Everald Compton’s Christians for Voluntary Assisted Dying Queensland comprise the My Life My Choice coalition.

David Muir, chair of the Clem Jones Trust, said an analysis commissioned by DWDQ of data generated by the ABC Vote Compass survey for the May 2019 federal election found overwhelming community support for VAD. “This is not a surprise to anyone who has followed the debate on voluntary assisted dying,” Mr Muir said. “Reputable market research has for many years indicated community support for VAD at 70 per cent to 80 per cent and research undertaken for the Clem Jones Group showed support for VAD laws from people of faith including 60 per cent of practising Catholics.

“The ABC Vote Compass data reflects the depth of the positive community sentiment towards voluntary assisted dying, and it is something every state MP needs to acknowledge.

“In simple terms, MPS will have a conscience vote on the VAD Bill in September, but they should exercise it in favour of the Bill because only then can they put the decision of whether to choose VAD in the hands of their constituents,” Mr Muir said.

State MPs are being urged to vote in support of the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2021 when it is debated in the Queensland Parliament this September, with data showing the majority of the community are in support of it.

THE ABC Vote Compass in May 2019 asked people if they agreed or disagreed with the statement: “Terminally ill patients should be able to end their own lives with medical assistance.“ The results for the Southern Downs seat show that 21 per cent of respondents chose ‘agree’ while 58 per cent of respondents chose ‘strongly agree’, meaning a total of 79 per cent of respondents agreed with the statement.

The proportion of Liberal National Party voters who agree that “Terminally ill patients should be able to end their own lives with medical assistance“ was also high at 74 per cent of respondents in the Southern Downs seat.

Mr Muir said the proportion of people identifying as holding a religious faith who also supported VAD ranged between 55 per cent

and 85 per cent depending on the specific denomination.

“These are all strong results in favour of VAD bult on statistically significant samples of voters in each seat,” Mr Muir said.

Dr Sid Finnigan, state convenor of Doctors for Assisted Dying Choice, said last Friday’s report by the parliamentary Health Committee on the VAD Bill drafted by the expert and independent Queensland Law Reform Commission showed the Bill should be passed without amendment.

“The Committee report showed that the Bill is workable and safe, and contains adequate protections and safeguards, and should be passed without amendments to enable individual Queenslanders to make their own choices about VAD if and when they needed to

do so,” Dr Finnigan said.

“MPs should not be diverted by the baseless arguments raised in minority dissenting reports that were spun around claims that have been comprehensively dismissed by previous parliamentary inquiries in Victoria, Western Australian, and here in Queensland as well as by on-the-ground experience in overseas jurisdictions.

“The evidence is what MPs should concern themselves with, not urban myths or wild scare tactics.

“If MPs look at the evidence they will vote for the VAD Bill and to give their constituents the choice of a better end of life if they need to access VAD,” Dr Finnigan said.

Jeanette Wiley of Dying With Dignity Queensland and a former palliative care nurse, said the VAD debate was not about MPs but their constituents.

“All of our 93 state MPs need to recognise that under a VAD law there will not be a single extra death, but there will be a lot less suffering and that voluntary assisted dying is exactly that – voluntary – so those who may never want access to VAD are accommodated 100% but opponents should not deny choice to others.

“The Bill contains adequate safeguards and those wanting to make amendment after amendment to the Bill are just wanting to make the Bill unworkable.“ Ms Wiley said it was unfortunate that dissenting members of the Health Committee had used discredited arguments such as claims about VAD sparking “suicide contagion” that had been comprehensively proved wrong by previous inquiries and experience with VAD scheme in practice.

“The Health Committee report also confirmed that voluntary assisted dying was not a rival to palliative care but was an extra choice that competent adults with a terminal illness or neurological condition could make for themselves if needed.

“Evidence from palliative care practitioners to multiple inquiries has also shown that palliative care does not alleviate all end-of-life suffering which is why MPs must vote for the VAD Bill,” she said.

SOUTHERN DOWNS MP JAMES LISTER’S STATEMENT I have decided, after carefully reading both the bill and the correspondence that local people have sent me, not to support the euthanasia bill.

I have also reflected on some incredibly sad experiences I’ve had within my own family, and these things have also weighed upon my decision.

I understand that many people like the concept of euthanasia, but I think that people may change their minds if they read the bill themselves. The bill really proves that the devil is in the detail.

I spend every day talking to people all over our electorate, and I think that the ABC’s claim that there is 80 per cent support for euthanasia in the seat of Southern Downs is exaggerated. For example, I’ve received four

times more correspondence from people in my electorate opposed to euthanasia than in favour of it. I suspect that the true level of community sentiment in my electorate lies somewhere in between these two indicators.

The reasons why I will be voting against the bill include the following: it makes it a crime for a patient’s caregivers and health practitioners to promote the option of not taking their own lives; it makes it a crime for patients’ doctors to object to euthanasia when they have a differing view on the prognosis of their patient is; it allows doctors who perform euthanasia, but who have no history with the patient, and no specialist knowledge in the patient’s illness, to come in and to authorise

·

·

·

and conduct euthanasia; it forces hospitals, regardless of any objection they may have to the euthanasia of their patients, to allow outside doctors who don’t know the patient, to come in to perform euthanasia; it proposes to inject funding for euthanasia into places in our electorate where there is barely any palliative care available; These points are an indicator that the euthanasia bill is designed to promote and enable the work of euthanasia doctors, whilst repressing alternative views from the patient’s own doctors, family and care givers.

And I think it is wrong to legally force hospitals and health workers to be complicit in euthanasia - I can’t support that.

The bill, in my view, makes it likely that

· ·

some vulnerable people will end their lives to keep other people happy and not to be a burden - I can’t support that.

The bill seems to actively promote euthanasia, whilst going out of its way to repress alternative voices, including those of a patient’s loved ones and doctor - I can’t support that.

And lastly, I worry about the slippery slope that this bill creates. There shouldn’t be even a whisker of conflict between a patient’s needs and the interests of the state.

But with funding pressures and bed shortages, can we really be certain that there won’t be subtle pressure on vulnerable people to make way and not be a burden? I’m inclined to think that this might happen - and I can’t support that either.

Allora Auction passed in

By Glyn Rees The Allora Show Society took a significant step away from tradition at the General Meeting this month when they cancelled the 2021 Allora Annual Auction.

The auction acclaimed across south east Queensland and the Darling Downs boasts decades of history and had been postponed from its usual early June weekend until the coming October long weekend.

While many that are enthralled by the auctioneers call and the yearn for a bargain will feel disappointed, the Show Society committee are making decisions looking to cope with the ongoing and ever changing Covid-19 conditions, and what seems a decline in the popularity of auctions as they have presented over many years.

In recent times the Showgrounds have also seen construction taking place which provides

concerns for patron safety for any event until completion.

The Annual Allora Auction in past years boasted massive proportions considering its small host centre, with lots from false teeth to heavy machinery going under the auctioneer’s hammer.

However, the auction has always depended

on travel for many to attend. Covid-19 issues have curbed that inclination for many, and the future is an unknown.

Online opportunities for bargain hunters continue to increase, with bids on the likes of eBay, Gumtree etc, and the bargain sites associated with social media are also taking their toll on the likes of Showgrounds wide open

auctions such as the Allora renowned event.

Interested locals have suggested a change of focus to rejig a similar Allora event into the future as a weekend swap meet that may include a smaller version auction along with various community entertainment.

Our community’s future has certainly altered in the past 18 months, but we have the opportunity to adjust and still enjoy significant events and all our Showgrounds can offer.

The Show Committee are certainly not diminishing usual activities or famed events, but we are looking at revamping were necessary so as to meet community needs and wants and the health and safety requirements that have arisen.

The Show Committee are looking forward to discussing the matter with the community so as to create other events the Allora Region can be proud of.

Single-use plastics ban raises some local concerns

By Dominique Tassell Locals are prepared for the single-use plastics ban to come into effect on 1 September, but some have raised concerns about the lack of clarity surrounding the ban.

The Queensland Government’s ban on the supply of single-use plastic applies to straws, stirrers, plates, bowls, cutlery, expanded polystyrene takeaway food containers, and cups.

Banned items can no longer be used by restaurants, cafes, takeaway shops, party suppliers, supermarkets, not-for-profit organisations and places of learning.

However,there are exemptions for clinics

or facilities that provide care to persons with disability or healthcare needs such as aged care facility, palliative care facility, hospital, pharmacy, and dental and medical clinic.

A staff member at The Coffee Club in Warwick says that the restaurant is fully prepared for the ban to come into effect.

“We just have approved cutlery,” she said.

She said she was pleased about the ban, and thinks it will have a positive effect.

“We use suppliers we know are environmentally sustainable,” she said.

The government is relying on their “education first” approach to spread awareness of the ban, but not all locals think they’re being clear enough.

A local importer, supplier and manufacturer of packaging says the ban is an example of “greenwashing”, where consumers are led to believe something is better for the environment than it really is.

They referenced the single-use plastic bag ban, stating that consumers now just pay for a thicker plastic bag every time they shop that takes even longer to break down in the environment.

They also stated that the influx of “environmentally-friendly” products aren’t as beneficial to the environment as consumers would like to believe, and compostable products contaminate recycling waste and end up contributing to landfill.

They also stated that not all states have the ability to compost these products, and the emissions from transporting them to suitable facilities should be considered.

The use of chemicals on these products also needs to be discussed, they said.

“Renewable products are seen as being a better option for the environment but they have a higher carbon footprint, health effects, and create landfill,” the local supplier said.

They said that the introduction of new materials to the market does not help the way consumers think it does, and we should return to paper, glass, and plastic for the most effective way of helping to reduce waste.

Community remembrance

By Jess Baker Vietnam veterans, their family and friends, and members of the Stanthorpe community gathered on Wednesday 18 August, the 55th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan in 1966, to remember the sacrifices of those who served in the Vietnam War. The memorial service, held at the Wall of Remembrance at Weeroona Park, was organised by the Granite Belt Sub Branch of the Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia (VVA) with the Stanthorpe RSL Sub Branch to honour the service of all Australians who served their country during peacekeeping missions and war.

Member of the VVA Sub Branch Greg Mugridge said it was great to see so many people in attendance on Wednesday.

While Greg technically didn’t step foot on the shores of Vietnam during the war, he did undertake three voyages to the country in 1967 as an ordinary seaman in the Royal Australian Navy.

He served on troop carrier HMAS Sydney as a cook, working with six or seven others to feed about 1600 people – including up to 1300 soldiers – each trip.

Greg said, for a long time, he wasn’t recognised for his service during the conflict.

“It took 25 years for me and 5000 other servicemen to be recognised,” Greg said.

“But I got my medals in the mail one day.”

Greg said he was fortunate to spend so much time at sea during his six years of service, after joining the Navy in 1966.

President of the VVA Sub Branch Graham Slater, who served in the Australian Army’s 17th Construction Squadron during the Vietnam War, performed civil work in Vietnam from the end of 1968 to the end of 1969.

He said it was great that veterans and members of the community could meet on the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan. Member for Southern Downs James Lister, Stanthorpe RSL Sub Branch board member Norm Steele, and Reverend Kaye Ronalds spoke at the event, thanking Vietnam veterans for their service and sacrifice.

On 18 August 1966, during the Battle of

Stanthorpe RSL board member Norm Steele led the service on Wednesday evening.

Around 40 attended the memorial service at Weeroona Park.

Long Tan, 17 Australians were killed and a further 25 were wounded.

Each year, on the anniversary of the battle, memorials are held across the country to acknowledge and pay respects to the 60,000 Australian men and women who served their country through the Vietnam War. A Stanthorpe RSL Sub Branch spokesman said Vietnam Veterans’ Day was an opportunity to pause and reflect on the bravery, teamwork and endurance displayed by those who served.

“We also reflect on the impact service has had on our veterans and their families,” he said.

Sub Branch President Martin Corbett said coming together in the spirit of remembrance and thanks was positive for both veterans and the wider community.

New festival all set to celebrate region’s ‘berry’ best

By Jess Baker For the very first time, Stanthorpe locals and visitors will unite to celebrate the summer strawberry harvest on the Granite Belt.

The Stanthorpe Berry Festival will kick off on Saturday 13 November, with a bumper selection of experiences and masterclasses on offer.

Event coordinator and Stanthorpe local Amy Torrisi said the festival was about connecting farmers to buyers, having fun, and celebrating the summer strawberry.

“You’ll be able to meet the farmers in the region (and) you’ll be able to meet the crew who work behind the scenes on producing iconic preserves and jams as well,” Amy said.

“You can get some tips and masterclasses … on how to be ’berry’ healthy, incorporating the summer strawberry into your diet, and making other produce from them.”

Over the course of the day, attendees will enjoy live entertainment, taste testing, eating competitions, demonstrations, and much more.

Strawberry farms Ashbern and Eastern Colour will also host ‘pick your own’ strawberry weekends, taking part in the festival alongside producers Jamworks Gourmet Foods and Pinata Farms.

Amy said the region’s growers had, like everyone on the Granite Belt, been dealt some devastating blows in recent years, but they were expecting an excellent summer season.

“We have seen a pretty harsh drought, but now with dams full, growers are planting their crops and pushing for a new beginning,” she said.

“At the end of the day that’s what you plant for.”

Having grown up in Stanthorpe herself, Amy said she always loved strawberries.

10 TODAY Thursday, 26 August, 2021

Eastern Colour’s Nathan Baronio said the festival is an opportunity to support local and taste top quality produce.

In fact, it was this affection, and a desire to acknowledge the work of local farmers, that inspired Amy and drove her to pursue the festival.

“The strawberry industry in the region is only growing,” Amy said. “(The festival is) a great opportunity to be able to celebrate that because these growers are looking to increase their production here as well.”

Eastern Colour’s Nathan Baronio said he hoped the festival would highlight the significant role the Granite Belt and its growers play in Queensland’s strawberry industry.

“Support your local businesses and find out why our berries are so much better than Victoria’s,” Nathan said.

“It’s not just the four berry farms that are involved, there are also breweries and restaurants and local musicians. It’s a good community event so please come out and support.”

The boutique event will be held from 10am to 5pm on Saturday 13 November at Weeroona Park on Marsh Street.

Tickets are limited and only available online at eventbrite.com.au.

The farm will host a ‘pick your own’ strawberry and apple day on the weekend of the festival.

Little Theatre gets bigger

By Dominique Tassell Stanthorpe Little Theatre has unveiled its new foyer, ready in time for an exciting season of entertainment.

The new foyer features old windows taken from near stage.

Many people in attendance commented that the new foyer fits in so well to the rest of the building that many would not notice it was new unless told.

Judy Flitcroft, a longstanding patron of the theatre, remembers when they had to send everyone outside into the cold in order to charge the set on stage.

“We’ve been planning this for a while,” she said.

Alongside having to turf out patrons into the cold, the lack of space meant the lighting person was very limited in their movement when a show was on.

Stanthorpe Little Theatre President, Shannon Cox, said they had been dreaming of this extension for a few years.

She said the theatre had thrown around “all these wonderful ideas”, but it wasn’t until they got in touch with architect Bruce Ward that those ideas became a real possibility.

Shannon says with Bruce’s help they came up with a plan, but had no way of making it a reality for a while.

She said she felt like “this beautiful man has put in so much time and effort to our dream, and we can’t just let this go by the wayside”.

In October 2019, Shannon applied for a grant for the theatre.

She said she put it in on a whim and “hoped and prayed” something would come of it.

Shannon said when talking about all the things they could do with the theatre, she realised just how much it meant to the community.

The Junior Choir use the theatre every Tuesday to perform and practice.

“This is not a building, but this is a space for a community. So it’s not just us thespians that do our rehearsals and our acting, but it’s also a space where we have our beautiful junior choir that come every Tuesday and perform and practice.

“And we have our beautiful Granite Belt Choir that come on Wednesdays and practice here, then we’ve got our Baptist Church that come on Sunday mornings to pray and to connect “And so you have this realisation where you realise this is more than just a building, this is a space where we connect.

HAIL DAMAGE TO ROOFS IN WARWICK AND STANTHORPE

“And there’s so many opportunities for so much, it’s just a very special place for us to share.”

Soon after the pandemic started, the theatre received a letter from Liquor and Gambling saying they’d received $35,000 to spend on extending the space.

Southern Downs Regional Council also provided $5000 for the space.

Southern Downs Regional Councillor, Stephen Tancred, said “it’s a pleasure to open this new foyer at the Stanthorpe Little Theatre”.

Councillor Tancred spoke of the wonderful community behind Stanthorpe Little Theatre,

stating they were well-served by the community.

“Sir Laurence Olivier said ‘I believe that in a great city, or even in a small city or a village, a great theatre is the outward and visible sign of a probable culture’.

“Our great Theatre. know as the Little Theatre, is one sign of our culture. Not a probable culture, not a possible culture, but an active and vibrant cultural life here in the Granite Belt.

“I’ll balance that quote with one from a female actor. Vanessa Redgrave said ‘I think the theatre is as essential to civilization as safe, pure water’. Well, didn’t we find out how essential safe pure water was in the past two years?

“Just as Council is charged with fixing water problems and we take that very seriously, we also take the task of promoting our cultural life very seriously and assisting the Little Theatre is part of that. It’s not Much Ado About Nothing, it’s a little bit to do about something.”

Councillor Tancred congratulated the Little Theatre on their grant and new foyer, stating that “in the cold weather there will a little bit less of discontent in the winter”.

“Your ongoing efforts to enlarge and improve the facility are more than something and are to be congratulated.”

The Stanthorpe Little Theatre will be holding their first performance in the new space on Friday 27 August, when the Burlesque show premieres.

The show will also be held on Saturday 28 August.

The show will celebrate Christmas in Winter with the Femme-Fatal-A-Tease Burlesque Troupe, and explore what is naughty and who is nice.

Border funding available

By Jess Baker Southern Downs Regional Council could benefit from a share in $1 million in state funding to cover the high costs of border control it has incurred in the last year.

The council is one of six rural local governments considered to be on the frontline of Queensland’s Covid-19 border closure with New South Wales and eligible to apply for the funding.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Local Government Steven Miles said that while every council in Queensland was working hard to keep their communities safe, it was particularly challenging for the rural councils on the border.

“Across our rural southern border, Balonne

The council confirmed it would apply to be reimbursed the high costs of border control it incurred since 2020.

Shire Council, Bulloo Shire Council, Goondiwindi Regional Council, Paroo Shire Council, Southern Downs Regional Council, and Scenic

Wattle is in full bloom around Leslie Dam.

Rim Regional Council have been instrumental in keeping Covid out, but those councils have been on the frontline of hundreds of roads, lanes and dirt tracks that cross our border – keeping Queensland safe, and for these councils, it does come at a price,” Mr Miles said.

“It is important these councils are recognised for the efforts they have made in protecting the state, and the Queensland government is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with those on the frontline.”

Local Government Association of Queensland acting CEO Alison Smith said the funding will provide welcome relief for councils and communities that stepped up without question to help support border measures.

“We thank the Deputy Premier for working in partnership with the LGAQ and our member

councils to find a solution to help cover these costs,” Ms Smith said.

SDRC confirmed it will be seeking reimbursement from the funding made available by the Queensland government.

“Since the border closures program first started in 2020, (the) council has incurred approximately $118,000 in costs and this figure continues to climb,” an SDRC spokeswoman said. “(SDRC) will continue to support its state partners in the protection of our local community, particularly with the escalating numbers currently being experienced in NSW.” The Queensland government will consult with the Queensland Police Service in deciding which councils, and how much each council, will be reimbursed for border closure costs.

A comment on Facebook stated “it’s been a bloody long time since we’ve seen it like this”.

The region’s wattle is in full bloom, and locals are taking notice of the beautiful sight.

A photo taken by photographer Chris McFerran went viral recently, attracting over 900 likes and over 100 comments.

The photo showed wattle trees blooming around Leslie Dam, which at the time of print is 57 per cent full.

Jodi Crowley commented online that it was “absolutely beautiful”.

“It’s been a bloody long time since we’ve seen it like this.”

A spokesperson for Southern Downs Regional Council stated that “Council is thrilled to see the wattle trees blooming again at Leslie Dam, in addition to various other flora across the region”.

“Due to the drought, many of our native species went dormant in order to survive dry times.

“It is great to see the vibrant colour of our beautiful landscape return and with spring fast approaching, the Parks team is gearing up for a bumper season.”

Friendship at club’s heart

By Dominique Tassell “Really warm friendship” is at the heart of the Warwick Spinners and Weavers club, which has become even more important in recent times.

The club has been going for over 50 years, and was initially created to help out women on the land by giving them a craft industry.

Nowadays, the club has around 40 members, who come together every Wednesday and on the first and third Saturday of every month.

The women in the club say “that closeness” has been great during the pandemic.

“Communication is so important.”

They say they always have something in common, and they help each other out whenever they can.

Before the pandemic, Janice Flood tells me the club used to have spinning camps with 100 people at Leslie Dam. They would get together to learn new skills, like dyeing and felting.

The women in the club say spinning is

calming for them in these chaotic times.

“It requires a lot of practice,” they say.

But once you’ve mastered it, it’s a perfect way to relax.

Some of the equipment they used has added bonuses, like double paddles which I’m informed are good for circulation.

The club will be holding beginners workshops next month, on Saturday, September 14th and Saturday, September 21st from 10am-3pm.

The intimate workshop costs $50 for both days Attendees will need a spinning wheel, bobbin and threading hook, 100-200gms of unwashed fleece, and a flicker brush.

If you do not have this equipment, the club can supply it but only for use in the workshops.

Anyone who needs this equipment can state so in the registration form, which can be obtained by messaging the group on Facebook with your email (Warwick Spinners & Weavers Group Inc) or by dropping into a Wednesday session at St Mark’s to pick up the forms.

“Really warm friendship” is at the heart of the Warwick Spinners and Weavers club, which has become even more important in recent times.

Community cooperation

By Beatrice Hawkins, Community Van Volunteer The Warwick Community Van, an initiative of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, is continually grateful for the wonderful support given them by the Lighthouse in Guy Street.

The Community Van, “Frankie” by name, and the team of volunteers from the community, provides a meal and fellowship for all comers in Leslie Park in the centre of town each Sunday evening.

Hygiene packs and some clothing etc are also available each week.

This is provided from a Christian perspective with no strings attached.

The partnership with the Lighthouse has been invaluable as a source of donations of food and other necessary items, the latest of these – a supply of hand sanitiser – is shown in the accompanying picture (inset right).

At this time of Covid restrictions, hand sanitiser is an extremely necessary and much used item.

The meal served last week was a typical menu. Pumpkin soup provided by the local RSL club, followed by vegetable fried rice with the fresh ingredients courtesy of the zero waste programme with which the Lighthouse is involved.

Dessert was a choice of deconstructed caramel or lemon meringue pie.

It is a delight to be able to be involved and receive the cooperation of other Christians, in meeting the temporal needs of God’s children.

The Warwick Community Van is serviced by a raft of volunteers and is always grateful for support. INSET: Pastor Wayne Humphries, Warwick Seventh Day Adventist minister, and Lighthouse’s Daphne Porter. Hand sanitiser was recently donated by Lighthouse to the Community Van.

Pickleball a growing game

A move you won’t regret!

If you’ve never heard of pickleball, now is the time to learn about the increasingly popular sport perfect for the whole family.

The sport was developed in 1976 in the United States.

Mark Jagger, a Pickleball Association Queensland general committee member, stated “it was basically a sport that a couple of families created in the backyard”.

“The schoolkids were on holidays and they wanted to keep them occupied.”

Mark says that the sport was called pickle ball because the family who invented the sport had a dog named Pickle who used to chase the ball, however other accounts state that it was because it was a mixture of various sports and reminded the creators of a pickle boat.

Pickle boats were boats whose crew was thrown together from various groups.

Mark says that “over the last 20 years , pickleball was just predominately played in the US but now it’s becoming bigger and bigger”.

“It’s predominately taken up by ex-tennis, badminton and squash players.

“It’s more strategic, there’s less running and you’re close to the net like table tennis.

“It’s calmer on the body.”

Mark says lots of tennis players who have faced knee and hip problems as they got older have turned to pickleball, as it’s not as demanding on the body.

Mark learnt how to play pickleball when living in Thailand, and he says five years ago he could only find two other players.

With the goal of attracting other players, he helped form the Brisbane pickleball club.

“Since then we’ve grown to be Australia wide, with well over 5000 pickle ball players.”

Pickleball now has a national body, state body, as well as individual local clubs.

The sport is attracting players of all ages,

Sueme Rajpal and Deborah Rossi, National Pickleball Champions (open age category). with an under 17s age bracket.

Mark says that an 11 and 13 year old won bronze medal in the last competition.

Southern Downs Pickleball Association is set to welcome two national champions to Warwick for a skills session with existing players.

Helen O’Brien from the Warwick club says while the event is only to existing members, the club is always happy to take enquiries.

She says the club does schedule beginner sessions depending on demand and are happy to do that.

“Pickleball is a great sport particularly for older people and it’s less strenuous on the body than tennis.”

“It’s a good step down for people looking for something less taxing that’s still enjoyable.”

Anyone interesting in pickleball can enquire through Southern Downs Pickleball Association on Facebook or email Mail2sdpa@gmail.com.

New artist joins Art Trail Spring is a season of change on the Granite Belt.

Apple and stonefruit trees burst into explosions of flowers while grapevines and exotic deciduous trees flaunt delightful new leaves.

This spring, the Granite Belt Art and Craft Trail is also embracing change, as Covid-19 restrictions are preventing showstopper entertainer Matthew Manahan from making it to the opening event on Friday, 29 October.

But where one door closes, another opens, and the Granite Belt’s sultry songbird Teri Welles will instead bring her own brand of musical magic as she fronts the popular Jazzify band at GBART’s special dinner, Fresh Canvas.

With diverse musical and life experience, the combo puts its own special spin on a range of jazz, blues, popular, classic, swing and rock songs with tunes drawn from musical greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, Louis Armstrong, Natalie Cole, the Beatles, Van Morrison, Paul Simon and Elvis, plus a few originals.

In various combinations since 2010, Jazzify’s band members have played at festivals, agricultural shows, parties, weddings and other special events.

Transforming the music into heart-warming song with her golden tones, Teri Welles is originally from the USA but has called Australia home for more than half her life.

Singing solos, duos, in bands and on albums, Teri has shared her dulcet tones across jazz, soft rock, country rock and folk. She is well known on the Granite Belt and much further afield as a visual artist as well as a singer.

Graham Muller trained in classical piano from a young age and ‘found jazz’ when he was playing in the Royal Australian Navy Band. He spent years honing his jazz skills on piano and keyboard and is a highly respected

The Granite Belt’s Teri Welles is set to join the Granite Belt Art and Craft Trail in October.

Picture: SANDRA MCEWAN and sought after musician around southeast Queensland. He does arrangements and charts for the band.

Drummer Neville Jess, originally from New Zealand, has a progressive rock background and his creative percussion skills have settled

perfectly into jazz. He has played with well known artists including James Blundell and as a session musician on various albums.

Darling Downs bass player Nick Williams will also be with the group for Fresh Canvas, playing his handmade electric double bass.

So Fresh Canvas is in good hands musically.

For the rest, local chef Jason Costanzo will provide his beloved brand of cuisine for the event, the venue at the showgrounds will be draped and dandified as befits a special opening and guests will have a chance to break out their semi-formal wear to add to the atmosphere and colour on 29 October.

Tickets are only available pre-sold, through www.gbart.org.au.

While you’re at the website to secure your spot in for the opening event (you can book a table of 10 or as an individual), remember that you need to book for everything that will be happening across the weekend … even the free stuff.

It’s a very immersive weekend, giving you opportunities to meet the makers and also to have a go yourself. Try cheesemaking, resin art alpaca felting, acrylic glass, cardmaking, poured glass art or candlemaking. Maybe make a pinch pot or get creative with some precious metal clay.

Less hands-on activities are also available— a photographic exhibition, demonstrations ranging from wheel-throwing and raku to watercolour pencil and the art of oil painting, a talk on taking art supplies into the field, candlemaking demos, a public art walking tour and more.

The website gives you an introduction to the artisans to give you a feel for people you’d like to meet and activities you’d like to do. Plus, you can order a picnic hamper to pick up for any day of the event. That way you can stop and have lunch at a time and place that suits you.

FRIDAY

ABC TV, 7.40pm

THE FIFTH ELEMENT SBS WORLD MOVIES, 9.30pm

Suffice to say French filmmaker Luc Besson likes his characters off-centre; in this case it’s 250 years beyond the present, with a NY cab driver (Bruce Willis) and a mysterious waif (Milla Jovovich) racing against the clock to save the world from evil. The visuals, from Jean-Paul Gaultier’s eccentric costumes to intricately detailed sets and panoramas, are dazzling and plentiful. It’s good versus evil presented with visionary gusto and not just special effects.

SUNDAY

LION SBS WORLD MOVIES, 8.30pm

Based on the incredible memoir of Indianborn Australian Saroo Brierley, Lion tells the tale of Saroo, an Indian boy who gets lost on the streets of Calcutta and must try to survive before being adopted by a loving Australian family. Twenty-five years later, he sets out to defy the odds and find his lost family with the help of Google Earth and a small store of memories. Starring Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire, right) as Saroo, Nicole Kidman as his adoptive mother Sue, David Wenham as her husband John and Rooney Mara (Carol) as Saroo’s girlfriend Lucy, this film is powerful and heartfelt without being sentimental. An uplifting tale of courage and determination.

SATURDAY

CELEBRITY MASTERMIND SBS, 8.30pm

There’s something enticing about watching a “celebrity” version of a game show. Is it the promise of watching someone you feel like you know lose, or possibly win? Perhaps it’s the thrill of getting to know a well-known person on another level? Whatever it is, there’s intrigue around this season of Celebrity Mastermind, with host Marc Fennell (above) grilling former Australian Idol judge Ian Dickson, musician and actor Ben Lee and former Wiggle Murray Cook, among others. Tonight’s premiere guests are James Mathison, cabaret star Hans, actor John Wood and journalist Patricia Karvelas.

It’s not just the animals and nature that are miraculous in this jaw-dropping series; it’s David Attenborough himself. The muchloved naturalist could have been forgiven for taking on easier projects – or even retiring! – when he reached his mid-80s.

Instead, the passionate wildlife and eco activist set himself a new challenge: to revisit his favourite and most memorable locations and animals to capture them in all their amazing glory using the finest filming technology. It ended up being a sevenyear mission. In these testing times, it’s a joy to behold. Watch out for the Great Barrier Reef sojourn in a state-ofthe-art submarine.

Rural Links This week on the farm

By Judy Barnet, Farm Columnist This week on the farm has been an exciting one with the birth of twin lambs – the first for the season!

They are Southdown Lambs, one ram lamb and one ewe lamb from Ewe 50 who is one of my oldest ewes.

I was, as always at the start of the lambing season, a bit nervous as we do sometimes have trouble with crows, foxes and feral cats.

The old ewe went to the furtherest corner of the paddock to lamb of course – ewes having twins are much more susceptible to losing a lamb to predators as whilst they are birthing with the second lamb the first is very vulnerable to predators.

We had another addition to the sheep flock this week. I had a phone call asking if I was interested in taking on a 1-month-old poddy lamb. Bronte is a gorgeous Damara/Dorpercross ewe lamb who has won our hearts.

She was rescued after being abandoned by her mother and raised by Dot. It is not easy to part with a lamb that you have raised from a day old, fed and looked after for a month and I sensed Dot’s sadness when she handed Bronte over.

I am hoping Dot will come out and visit Bronte and follow her progress as she gets older. Our Saanen milking goat Candy had a doe kid this week. She dotes on it and keeps it close at all times.

Candy’s daughter Unihorn also had her first kid this week – the day before Candy. However, Unihorn is not as attentive as Candy and is forever leaving it somewhere then forgetting where she put it!

We are incredibly lucky that Covid-19 has had very little effect on us being out on the farm and we feel deeply for the people whose lives Covid-19 has turned upside down.

Our woofers Yves, Monica and boys Abel and Indigo arrived with their 4wd and trailer plus a car all ready for their move to Hobart, however they have now found themselves with no choice but to leave both cars and their whole lifes possessions behind, being unable to travel through NSW in order to reach Hobart.

They have however been able to book flights directly from Queensland to Hobart and we will be sad to see them leave next week.

But, there is an upside to this – Richie and I will travel with their car down to Hobart later in the year, Covid-19 situation permitting, and take a week or two holiday with our friends!

I am now fully vaccinated thanks to my workplace giving me to opportunity and am looking forward to eventually being able to travel.

Doug Walker, who owned my farm before me (the farm had been in Doug’s family since soldier settlement), contacted me after reading about the old rose I mentioned a couple of weeks ago and let me know that the rose was planted in the spring of 1965 – but I am still not sure of the variety. Thank you also to the people that contacted me letting me know they were enjoying my weekly column.

The Queensland Branch of the Australian Stud Pig Breeders had their AGM this week in Warwick and I was able to catch up with the president Brian Grayson for a chat about his farm on the Condamine River at Killarney.

Brian’s is a family farm that was originally 365 acres when owned by Brian’s parents, who were also stud pig breeders. They established a Landrace Pig Stud in 1957 and it is still going, run by Brian today.

The stud currently has 35 breeding sows and their progeny is mostly sold as spit pigs.

When I asked Brian what advice he would give to anyone considering going into pigs he offered two suggestions which I whole heartedly agree with – Research your market and decide what your aim is for the pigs you produce.

It costs the same to feed a stud pig with known genetics and growth history as it does any old pig you buy from the market so buy the best stock you can within your budget and opt for less pigs but better quality.

Well, dinner is nearly ready – tonight we are having Peking duck that we killed on the farm this afternoon, cooked on the wood stove in an orange sauce (Yves says it is called Confit Duck).

Monica has also made a vegetable lasagne and a potato salad. No rest for the wicked, Yves

is passionate about using local produce so we also killed an old rooster that would have otherwise made his way to the compost bin – Yves roasted him in the wood stove then put him into a pot of boiling water (without a rock) adding all sorts of things from the garden to make a chicken stock. In the wood fire went a giant beetroot nestled into the coals. Time to eat!

Until next week, take care and stay safe.

Virus warning over mice

Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus, or LCMV, is transmitted by mice and can spread to humans with symptoms including severe headaches and in some cases meningitis.

MCDOUGALL & SONS STOCK AND STATION AGENT & Licensed Auctioneers 141 Palmerin Street, Warwick

PTY LTD

People are being reminded to keep practicing good hygiene, hand washing, and cleaning after a number of Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus cases have been reported in the Darling Downs.

Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus, or LCMV, is transmitted by mice and can spread to humans with symptoms including severe headaches and in some cases meningitis.

Viral meningitis may cause headaches, fever, stiff neck, nausea and vomiting, decreased appetite, and lethargy. Pregnant women are particularly at risk with evidence showing that the virus can affect unborn babies and may cause miscarriage.

LCMV is not transmitted person to person and year to date there have been 10 cases confirmed in the Darling Downs Public Health Unit area. This is significant as previously LCMV was not known to be a problem in Australia, with a case identified in New South Wales in March 2021. Public Health Unit senior medical officer Dr Liam Flynn said the recent LCMV cases coincided with an increase in rodent activity in the local area.

“We have seen an increase in rodents, particularly mice, in our rural areas,” Dr Flynn said.

“Human infections are usually caused by exposure to an infected animal through the unintentional ingestion or inhalation of its urine or excrement. This includes nesting materials, urine, droppings, and saliva.

Dr Flynn said the best way to avoid getting LCMV was frequent hand washing, particularly before eating, and thorough cleaning of the areas where rodents have been.

“Good hygiene practices like washing your hands before eating, discouraging mice from in and around your home, and keeping areas clean, are the best methods of prevention.”

LCMV is a virus and usually improves on its own, but it is still important to see a doctor or call 13 HEALTH (13 452 584) if you are feeling unwell.

Q&A You may know PAUL PETTER for his role as secretary at the Stanthorpe RSL Sub Branch, or more broadly for his involvement in the local community.

But you probably don’t know what his last meal on earth would be, or which six people he’d have at his dream dinner party! Find out a thing or two about Paul below.

How and when did you first become involved with the Stanthorpe RSL Sub Branch?

I transferred as a member in 2014 when we moved into the area and elected as secretary three years ago.

What do you love most about being part of the Sub Branch?

Being part of something bigger than me.

Being able to give back to, and also pay forward, folk in the community that need it.

What do you do to relax?

When we are able travel apart from that I feel I am busier now than when I was working. I find that relaxing most of the time.

What has been your most memorable moment and why?

Saying I do and welcoming my children into the world. All else pales in comparison.

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

The rediscovery of the “Golden Rule”. Seems to me there is far too much ’me and I’ around at the moment.

Which six guests would be invited to your ultimate dinner party?

Any six of my mates as anyone else it would become just hard work and not a party.

What’s the best book you’ve read?

I read a lot and often – lately it would be something in the crime action realm.

What were you like in school?

I was a bit of a slacker. It always appeared on my report card Paul could work harder. Some would say not much has changed.

What is your favourite spot in our region?

I live there. Stanthorpe.

What would your last meal on earth be?

If I were to be on death row it would be a hangi (slow cooked and smokey). Apart from that it would be the last one I ate.

The latest contribution from Rose City Writers, this week from RICHARD GRIFFITH...

Lover’s leap Soaring Eagle was a proud young man. Proud enough that he stood at the edge of the highest cliff in all the land. Proud enough to take the step off what had become known as Lover’s Leap. Which was exactly what he did.

The fierce wind rushing past his ears did not make nearly the noise he thought it would.

Neither did the rustling of his clothing, the whipping of his long hair, or anything else. He barely heard any sound at all. In fact, it was dead silent as he fell.

He thought about how he had gotten to this point. About how he had fallen in love with the most beautiful woman. But Wildflower did not return his love. She hardly noticed him at all.

Instead, she showed affection for a handsome brave named Standing Fox. Soaring Eagle had tried everything to win her affections away from Standing Fox. He presented her his best pelts, gave her first choice of his hunts, and helped her gather food for her sickly parents. It was all to no avail. He could not alter the course of her heart away from Standing Fox. Rejected and depressed, Soaring Eagle sought to end his pain. Off to Lover’s Leap he trekked and off the edge he leaped. Falling into the winding canyon far below.

It was then that he caught sight of an Eagle diving with him. A beautiful bird. Majestic as it soared about. It circled him even in his descent. It almost seemed to call out to him.

Soaring Eagle’s spirits lifted. He realized the folly of his wasted affections. He vowed to change his heart if the spirits let him live.

He would let Wildflower follow her heart as he would follow his away from her. She may be the one that got away, but there were others that might welcome his affections. He then closed his eyes and prayed for a miracle.

Learning how to play the piano

By Jeremy Lister, Age 10 Every Sunday I have piano lessons with Mrs Chapman in her music studio in Stanthorpe.

I’ve been having piano lessons with Mrs Chapman for a few years now and I’m up to book three.

She also makes me do theory but I don’t like theory. Mrs Chapman has been teaching piano for a long time and taught mum’s friend Morwenna Harslett who did her AMUS-A on piano.

Piano is my favourite instrument and Mrs Chapman is the best teacher. I started learning violin when I was 5 but I didn’t like it.

Then I tried to learn the bagpipes with Mrs Shelley in Warwick but my fingers weren’t big enough to cover the holes on the chanter.

Then I started piano with Mrs Chapman which I’m still learning now. I’m also learning cello with Mr Spiller but I like piano better because it’s easier to make a good sound and cello is really hard.

We have a Yamaha U3 piano in mum’s music studio and I also have a digital piano but I like the real piano better. At the moment I’m learning Yankee Doodle but I’ve learnt lots of songs. Mum says everyone should learn an instrument because it’s good for your brain.

Mary leading creativity locally and beyond Bridge club

By Kaz Thorpe, Arts Writer

How did a young girl from the agricultural village of Errol near Perth in Scotland, find herself director of the renowned regional gallery at Stanthorpe?

Creativity, music, singing and family get togethers were a constant in the home of the young Mary Findlay.

Her Mum was an artist and a musician, supported by an understanding husband, described by Mary as “a man before his time”.

Mary notes that “everyone in the family could sing, except her”.

Yet, in a “culturally rich” but poor rural family a career in the arts was never an option.

In 1978, Mary immigrated to Australia with her former partner, grabbing an opportunity to study Drama, English, and Education at the University of Queensland. As an intern with the Zen Zen Zo Theatre Company, Mary studied lighting, sound, costume design, and performance.

After graduation, Mary worked at Bremer SHS and Everton Park SHS whilst still performing and training with Zen Zen Zo. Moving from Brisbane to Stanthorpe, she worked at Stanthorpe SHS where she taught many subjects including Art and Drama.

However, when Mary overheard at her yoga class that the directorship of the Stanthorpe Gallery was being advertised, she heard a voice in her head say “you must apply”. She did and the rest is history.

Mary would say being the director of the Stanthorpe Gallery was a “90 degree learning curve” for her. Yet, anyone who knows Mary would say she was perfect for the position. Her bubbly, enthusiastic and energetic personality is a shining beacon in the gallery.

Her experience working with production, costume and sound and lighting and volunteers is a bonus as well! Mary is also very humble and during the interview continually wanted to talk about others, rather than herself.

She is continually thankful to the colleagues, the seventy-one active gallery volunteers and the supportive management committee for making her time at the gallery such

By Neil Bonnell, Warwick Bridge Club

Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery director Mary Findlay. a success. It’s a well-oiled machine, as I witnessed at a recent exhibition installation.

Stanthorpe Gallery is the flagship of an artist community. Perhaps the culture of creativity has emerged from the sanatorium during the early part of the century where art helped heal bodies, minds, and the scars of the WW1, the rich Italian influence, and the spectacular geography of the Granite Belt region.

Mary reflects that from these seeds Stanthorpe has developed as a place that nurtures acceptance and inspiration.

In addition, Mary recounts how the public art in the town has served to “break down the walls of the gallery”, and literally take art into the streets. Stanthorpe’s public art epitomises their “culture, place and history.” She consid-

ers that “art brings communities together and breaks down barriers.”

“Art can transcend culture, differences and dis-ability”.

When asked about her own artistic practice Mary modestly tried to shy away from the question. She is active in her garden, knits, and sews. Creativity is also essential within her job.

She relates that when it’s her time, she will take the creativity out of her head to become the artist inside her, as she needs time to think and plan.

But in the meanwhile, she and her treasured team at Stanthorpe Gallery have more art to display, artists to nurture, community to inspire, and barriers to dispel.

There is a Chinese curse which says, “May you live in interesting times”.

Last Friday most players agreed that they had lots of interesting times with the cards. Lopsided distributions were common and making contracts was at times impossible. On Board 20, for example, no one fulfilled their contract.

One North/South pair who tried 4C failed by one trick and 3NT by North failed by two tricks. The best score for North/South came when their opponents reached 4S by West. This was doubled and North led the King of clubs.

However declarer played the trumps, North’s King would win early. North could then lead the six of hearts. South has two winners and could play a third heart. Now declarer faces Hobson’s choice: ruff high and promote one of North’s remaining trumps or discard a diamond and allow North to ruff.

Then West faced the problem of North sitting over West’s diamonds. Suffice to say, 4S doubled was not a success as it scored minus 1100.

The best score for East/West was 500 when they doubled 3D by North. West held five cards in each of North’s best suits. Added to that, the club suit was neutralized. 3D doubled two down cost 500 points. What was interesting is that a different contract was played at each table. It was as if no one knew quite what to do with this board.

HISTORY WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Myths, legends and war

By John Telfer, History Writer It has been claimed that the military deaths in World War 1 were estimated to be around 8.5 million soldiers from both sides, and during this period many strange stories have emanated from the carnage and destruction.

Three of the most popular legends that received world-wide attention were; the Angel of Mons in 1914, The Leaning Virgin Mary of Albert and the little-known mystery of the missing Australian 10th Battalion soldiers, at Celtic Wood in 1917.

The first myth came during the British retreat from Mons in August, 1914. The legend that created the widely accepted theory that Divine intervention came about when a short story written by Arthur Machen appeared in London’s Evening Post on 29 September 1914.

Rumours from the battle front at Mons included a story that an angel had appeared in the sky over the battle field during the British retreat from Mons, after suffering heavy casualties. It caught the attention of a journalist from the London newspaper, “The Evening Post”, who wrote a story based on this supernatural event that phantom angels, armed with bows and arrows, were summoned by a soldier to destroy the enemy.

Although there was little evidence to support these claims, they gripped the war-weary English population so much that even religious and social reformers believed the story. There were even claims of dead German soldiers on the battle field with arrows in their body.

However, investigations of these so-called apparitions by the British Society of Physical Research discounted the claims, and the author later admitted that: “I had succeeded, unwittingly, in the art of deceit”. It did take a fair while before the story faded into mythology.

The second story that became legend sur26 TODAY Thursday, 26 August, 2021

rounds the small village of Albert in the French province of Picardy.

Albert was situated right in the middle of the Allied advance to the Somme and sustained heavy damage from constant German shelling.

Albert had, in the Village centre, an impressive Romanesque Basilica with a high tower that was crowned by a gilded statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary holding aloft the infant Jesus. As its tower commanded a wide view of the countryside, it became an observation post for both German and British forces. However, by 1916, and because of the damage from the shelling, the statue of Mary and the child Jesus was dislodged which caused it to lean precariously without toppling.

British and Anzac soldiers named it the “Leaning Virgin of Albert” and a folk legend was created in that when the statue fell, or was knocked down, the war would end. Soldiers advancing through the Menin Gate offered silent prayers to the leaning statue on their advance to the Battle of the Somme.

The other legend that was created concerned the mystery of the missing Company of soldiers from the 10th Battalion of the Australian 1st. Division, known as “The Terrible 10th” because of their fearless fighting reputation on Gallipoli.

The mystery surrounding the disappear-

ance of the missing men centred on the Battle of Poelcappele, Belgium, on 9 October, 1917.

Field-Marshall Sir Douglas Haig, Commander-in-Chief, ordered the 10th Battalion Commander, Lieutenant -Colonel Maurice Wilder-Neligan, to attack Celtic Wood to make way for the advance to the Somme.

Celtic Wood was a small forest of trees that harboured the entrenched German 448th Regiment unit, and the German lines had dug in and contained many machine gun pill boxes that could meet any attack with deadly fire.

With heavy rain falling and mud up to their knees, the Company of 78 soldiers under the command of the young South Australian, Lieutenant Frank Scott, fixed their bayonets and went ‘over the top’ into the German emplacement in Celtic Wood.

They were last reported to be seen advancing through a heavy mist which they used for cover, but they were never seen again except for 14 survivors, thus leaving much speculation and rumour, as to what happened to the other men of the 10th on that fateful day.

The main rumour was that all the men were massacred by the Germans and buried in a mass grave, but no conclusive evidence has ever been found to support this.

Australian Defence Department of History, records a list 37 of the 85 missing and commented: “On this day Lieutenant Scott of 10th Battalion led 84 men on a raid into enemy lines near Broodseinde. The main party was seen to enter Celtic Wood and were never seen again.

Extensive investigations since that time have failed to fully account for the fate of Lt. Scott’s party. A total of 37 soldiers are still unaccounted for. This, is the greatest mystery for the AIF in WW1”.

Charles Bean, official war correspondent, wrote that the soldiers of Celtic Wood were never seen again as their names did not ap-

pear on any Red Cross POW lists; the War Graves Commission found no trace of bodies; German military records have no mention of an attack on Celtic Wood; and farmers in the nearby villages never knew about it, and the mystery of the 37 names could not be solved.

Even today, farmers of the area have told investigators that no bones or military equipment have ever been unearthed over the years that would shed light on the issue.

The eerie name of Celtic Wood conjured up rumours of supernatural happenings and helped create a mystery that really remains unsolved to this present day. In 2008, two researchers, Henschke and Kearney, felt that they had solved the mystery, when after some intensive investigation, they came to a conclusion in which they attributed the missing men to the “Fog of War”. They also said that misreporting and clerical errors could be another factor. However, this does not produce the main evidence required and that is: Where are the bodies of these brave men?

The Great War of 1914 – 1918 was a very tragic episode in the history of the 20th Century where millions on both sides alongside civilian casualties died, and the death rate will never, we hope, be surpassed.

However, legend, myth and mystery were a large part of the psyche on the average soldier, as records do show that many began to question their reasons for being part of this “war to end all wars”.

It is possible that the extremely high casualty rates made them feel that they would not survive and looked to lifting the morale that legend and myth could provide. It appears to be a 104-year-old mystery, that has never been officially solved.

The partner of a Brisbane man reported missing in Girraween National Park on the last weekend in March has expressed her gratitude for the “efforts and compassion” of local Granite Belt emergency services personnel and volunteers who conducted search efforts for Manfred Luck, with the search having been scaled back after a week of “massive effort”, local police said.

Mr Luck, 71, has been described as a “fit and experienced” hiker - who loved Girraween above all other National Parts.

of the bed but if it is against a fence or a building, one arms reach is the limit.

5. Not all bugs and insects are pests. Lady birds eat aphids so should be encouraged. Bees, very obviously, are to be encouraged as pollinators. I love to sit on my patio with a cuppa and watch the blue banded bees, tiny native bees and the familiar honey bees enjoy the lavender that grows near the path. Butterflies also are to be encouraged as they also are pollinators, but definitely not those pesky white “cabbage moths” that produce those destructive green caterpillars that eat everything in sight! Ants are also helpful. My beautiful snail plant would not set seeds except for ants. The shape of the blossom means that they can’t be pollinated by bees. So be careful what you

eradicate and try to use species specific control. Find out what plants and colours attract beneficial insects and try to incorporate them into the garden beds. Marigolds look good as borders and help in vegetable beds. One of the most eye catching plantings I have ever seen was a bed of parsley planted in a chevron pattern with marigolds, absolutely spectacular 6. It is never to early to install a drip irrigation system. Water is always a concern in our area so if you can direct its use to the desired area this is ideal. The old adage of “waste not want not” certainly applies to gardening.

7. White is a wonderful foil for all other colours.

The abundance of alyssum in my garden ties everything together and makes all the other colours appear more vibrant. An idea to plant a selection of white flowers among the rest for good effect.

8. Lastly a very obvious one.. plants grow! Don’t forget to take this into consideration when planting. Be aware of the final size and leave room for them to do what we all want to happen and spend lots of time, energy and money encouraging.

While the article was directed at beginner gardeners I think it’s good for all to be reminded of some basics from time to time.

Don’t forget the up coming spring garden competition with judging commencing on 4 October. Spring is just around the corner and our gardens will, hopefully, be flourishing by then. It is fun to enter and without all of your entries we would not have a competition.

garden. Obviously I didn’t remove them all last season and they seeded really well!

As small seedlings they look very similar to my big poppies so I’ve probably accidentally thinned the poppies in my garden when I’ve been weeding. The ones in the lawn have been sprayed so hopefully there will be less to germinate after the next rain.

4. Limit the width of your garden beds. While I love the look of wide beds of colour I long ago realised that they are really impractical. Having to climb into beds to weed or pick flowers compacts the soil and runs the risk of damaging plants. Similarly wide vegetable beds make it difficult to harvest. To me, the ideal width is governed by my ability to reach in. Double my arm length if it is possible to get to either side

I spend a lot of time reading and looking up random information but when anything gardening comes my way that always gets read!

Recently I saw some gardening tips for beginners so of course, that was immediately read and some I will repeat here.

1. The number of seeds listed on a packet bears no resemblance to the number of plants that will grow! I thought this was an accurate fun fact. Who hasn’t carefully planted seeds to be disappointed with the germination rate? The plan is plant more than you need.. you can always pinch out the excess or carefully transplant to another spot or even give the excess away to another gardener!

2. Make use of your ’volunteer’ plants. I have many things that just come up each year. Alyssum, poppies, little chrysanthemum daisies, African daisies and the list goes on. Volunteers that appear randomly each year. My garden would be very dull without them. Like the human volunteers that keep many things going in our town, the plant volunteers keep my garden looking reasonable with no effort from me!.. very valuable!

3. Know how to identify the weeds. While this seems obvious what they meant was know whether they are annual or perennial. All are going to be a problem as they are all going to set seeds if they are not removed. Perennials tend to have deeper root systems and be harder to remove.

At the moment I have huge quantities of milk thistle coming up in my lawn and in the

SPORT WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

The Spin Indian food for thought India’s recent win over the Poms at Lords has given our arch enemy plenty to think of as their summer tour to Australia looms large.

It is often said you cannot win a Test match in one hour but that you can certainly lose one. In this game England learned you cannot win a Test match simply with aggression, though DK Lillee and Thommo may dispute that fact. You can certainly lose one through mindless aggro in a red-mist session and that is a lesson the Poms know about.

India’s win was not the result of one innings or spell that turned a losing position into a winning one. The game was won by stunning Indian performances. There was sheer belief and refusal to give up. It was clear the Poms underestimated India. A miscalculation they are unlikely to repeat.

While some find Virat Kohli a bit much and he is often accused of pushing the envelope, India did not win because of ugly tactics. They won because they had 11 potential matchwinners. England looked to have only: Joe Root and Jimmy Anderson. There has been a change in Indian cricketers and cricket over a long period of time.

When Shami and Bumrah walked off the field at lunch on the final day, the entire Indian contingent, support staff included, were at hand in the Long Room, applauding the two. Little did they know that they were on the verge of a victory that will reverberate around the ground for years to come.

For the Poms there is some homework to be done between now and November.

COWBOYS WINNERS IN FINAL GAME The Warwick Cowboys wrapped up their final home game of 2021 with a win over arch-rivals, Wattles in front of a packed house at Fr Ranger Oval on Old Boy’s day.

The win fired a warning shot over the bows of the remaining teams bound for the TRL finals, issuing a reminder that they are serious contenders in the race their first Premiership since 1988.

In a tough game, typical of clashes between these two rivals, the Cowboys posted first points on the back of a successful penalty goal kicked by Matt Marshall.

Wattles suffered a major blow when Travis Burns suffered an ankle injury mid-way through the first half.

Both sides found it difficult to find penetrate the try line before Dylan Galloway scored in the 28th minute to set up a six-nil lead for the Cowboys.

It didn’t take long before Wattles returned serve levelling the score with a Mitch Koina try.

The teams went to the break with the scores locked at six-all.

Following the break Mitch Watson, relishing the full back role crossed to swing the game back to the Cowboys who led 12-6 following the successful conversion.

It was the first of three tries to the Cowboys in the second half. Halfback Mitch Wilson had arguably his best game of the season scoring a double.

The first of Wilson’s tries came in the 48th minute and Marshall who kicked well on Saturday night added the extras to extend the lead to 18-6.

Marshall then added another two points kicking his second penalty goal in the game and with 25 minutes still left on the clock the Cowboys held a 20-6 lead.

Wattles who were troubled by the Warwick defence were their own worst enemies with a poor completion rate. They were never going to go away though and a try to Matt Christensen in the 59th minute was converted by Matt Duggan. With the score 20-12 Wattle’s supporters were hoping for a late surge.

The Cowboys, in front of a big contingent of Old Boy’s stuck firmly to their game plan.

When Wilson crossed for his second try with five minutes remaining and Marshall added the extras, the local supporters sensed a win.

The Cowboy’s defended to the final siren to claim a 26-12.

The Cowboys were without captain Mick Bloomfield and had several other key players sidelined but did not miss a beat. Coach Matt Grew had plenty of reasons to smile after the game. His team will be filled with confidence following the win as they head into the knockout semi-final this weekend.

Mitch Wilson was named Player of the Match and was presented with the Basil Nolan Medal following the game.

WARWICK 26 (Mitch Wilson 2, Mitch Watson, Dylan Galloway tries; Mathew Marshall 5 goals) defeated WATTLES 12 (Matthew Christensen, Mitch Koina tries; Matt Duggan 2 goals).

In other games Wattles won the Reserve grade battle 18-12. The Cowboys Under 18’s had a 48-12 win while the ladies were defeated

by Gatton 28-12.

MALLET PLAYERS RELISH CONDITIONS Croquet players certainly made the most of the excellent conditions in Stanthorpe last week.

And players were out in numbers throughout the week. It began on Tuesday (17 Aug) Association Croquet.

Grace Howard and Effey Russell played a very close game against the pairing of Carol Verwey and Jenny Tunbridge. Howard had her eye in early scoring a run of three hoops which were closely followed by another run of two, which helped put her team in front and clinch the game 24-23. Tunbridge played well, scoring a run of two hoops in a row three times during the course of the game.

On Wednesday (Aug 18) the Golf Croquet group took over and welcome a new face and prospective player, Judy Pidgeon. Judy scored one hoop in her first game who managed to score 1 hoop in her first attempt at the game and the group is hoping she will become a regular.

Two games were played simultaneously to accommodate the 10 players rolled up ready to play at 9am.

Bev Sullivan (4), John Colman (3) and Shirley Page (4) proved too strong in their game against Pauline Inglis (1), Judy Pidgeon (1), and Jennifer Gleadhill (5). Gleadhill hit a top shot at an acute angle to score a hoop . It is a tricky manoeuvre as there is only half a centimetre clearance when the ball runs the hoop.

SPORT

Casey O’Connor In the second game, Di Wren (10) and Kim Foster (2) faced opponents Shirley Evans (4) and Liz Ellway (7). In a very tight match, Evans showed her skill by scoring a jump shot.

Wren and Ellway were on form with their high scores.

After the morning tea break, eight players stayed on and enjoyed a final game. Wren (5) and Evans (4) played strongly against the combination of Gleadhill (3) and Ellway (4 ) scoring a narrow win. Inglis (4) and Colman (4) suffered a one point loss in their game against Foster (5) and Sullivan (4).

The Ricochet crew took over on Thursday.

Carol Verwey and John Colman played Jenny Tunbridge and Sharyn Roser. Tunbridge and Roser got away to a healthy lead and despite some accurate long shooting by both Verwey and Colman, managed to get both their balls through all hoops first. AS they worked to get both their balls in a favourable position to peg out, Tunbridge accidentally pegged out their blue ball, leaving their black near the peg forcing forced Verwey to take a shot at it (black) .She missed and black was pegged out on the next turn.t\ The final score 26 -16. Verwey and Tunbridge each had one run of three hoops.

Roser had two runs of two, and one run of three.

GATEBALL FRIDAY There was a good turnout for the Gateball games on Friday in Stanthorpe. In the first two games, Grace Howard, Jenny Tunbridge and Sharyn Roser played the red balls against the White ball team of John Colman, Les Williams and Joy Newman.

The opening game went down to the wire with the win in the balance until the last play when Tunbridge scored the Agari for the Red team to give her team a 14-14 win. Grace Howard played very accurately in this game and the White team also scored an Agari during the game.

In the next game Whites got away to a good lead as the Red team found some difficulty putting balls into play. Their fortunes turned when Roser put four white balls out of play. It left with no balls to play as their remaining ball was already off the court. Reds took control of the gates and went on to score two Agaris on their way to a convincing 17 – 12 win.

In game three Howard, Tunbridge and Roser played the white balls; Colman, Williams and Newman swapped to red. Colman played some very damaging and accurate long shots and Newman sent a few balls out of play handing Reds a narrow lead. Some accurate shooting by Tunbridge sent three red balls off the court in one shot. The tables were turned and after scoring two ‘Agaris’ late in the game Whites went on to score a 14-9 victory.

The final game was the closest of the day.

With three games under their belts the players from both teams were playing accurately.

The Shot of the Day belonged to Joy Newman who managed to score gate two, put two white balls off the court and then score gate three across the court at a very acute angle.

It was a fantastic piece of play. Howard got a gate-and-touch at gate two.

A gate and touch is scored when the ball in play goes through the hoop and touches another ball in the same stroke. It gives the player two more shots and is a great advantage.

When the time clock said game over the scores were tied at 10-all and a playoff was necessary to determine the winner. After 14 accurate shots, reds missed. Whites came away with the win after a great day of croquet.

ON THE LAWNS IN WARWICK Three Croquet disciplines were played on the lawns at the Warwick Croquet club this past week beginning with Ricochet on 14 August, Association Croquet on the following Tuesday and finally Golf Croquet last Thursday (19 August).

Golf Croquet draws the largest group of players, and it was Heather Guymer who was on song scoring two Hole in One shots to take the honours. Others who claimed a hole in one were Lil Henricks, Carol Ryan and Sue StanleyHarris.

In the Ricochet game Claire Beaumont and Helen Dooley (17) had a win over Maree Windle and Marian Cirson (15).

Winner of the Basil Nolan Medal, Mitch Wilson was presented with the award by James Nolan son of the late Basil Nolan. Cowboys photos by Gerard Walsh supplied by the Cowboys.

BUSY AND SUCCESSFUL SUMMIT BOWLERS It has been a hive of activity at the Summit Bowls Club over the past week. On Tuesday (17 Aug) 14 teams played the popular Turkey Triples. Sneaking into the winners circle were Ray Spiller, Phil Davis and Eliseo “Zel” Zamprogno with two wins plus 29.

Adrian Jackson, Jamie Zamprogno and Tony Schubert were the runner’s up with two wins plus 28.

It was time to prepare the greens for the 2021 SDMDBA Division One Pennants which the Summit Club hosted over the weekend.

Conditions on the weekend were ideal for bowls as teams from Southern Cross, Warwick East, Inglewood and The Summit clubs played a round robin style format on Saturday.

At the end of play on Saturday the two clubs with the highest overall scores prepared to play off in the final on Sunday morning. Those two clubs were the home team from the Summit and the Inglewood visitors.

Conditions on Sunday were as good if not better than Saturday and there were some brilliant bowls played by bowlers from both clubs resulting in a great Pennant final.

The Summit team stormed home to defeat the Inglewood team by a margin of 16 shots and claim the 2021 SDMDBA Division One Pennants title.

The win ensures, The Summit has booked a place in the Zone Pennant final, on Saturday, 11 September. The venue is yet to be confirmed.

Special thanks to Frank for his great work preparing the green which played beautifully.

Bowlers volunteers in the kitchen who I’m told provided a wonderful Pasta lunch and backed that up with afternoon tea. Of course, the bar staff ensured no one suffered from thirst. A great weekend all round. Looking ahead to September 18 the visiting Kitties and Jacks bowlers will be join the Summit crew for Two Bowl Triples. There ne

STANTHORPE WIN DISTRICT B GRADE PENNANT The high point of the bowling week for bowlers from the Stanthorpe Bowl club came when two teams played in the Men’s B Pennant fours at Clifton last Saturday. That of course followed the second semi-final of the self-selected pairs which were played on Thursday.

Prior to these games social Bowls was played on Wednesday. One games of three bowl triples and one game of pairs, were played and each was closely contested.

John Coleman Ernie Jones and Dot Rankin narrowly outpointed Robyn Rose Helen Jones and Ray Rankin. The final score 15-13. In the pairs game Mark Wicks and Brian Brown held their ground to draw 17 all with Gordon Gallaway and David Rose.

The semi-final of the self-selected pairs was played in good spirits but in the end the experience of David Rose and Brian Brown was a telling factor the result of in their game against Tom Hodgson and Robyn Rose. The score 3013. The final of the Self Selected pairs has been scheduled for this Saturday and spectators are most welcome.

Owing to the Pennant play there was only one social game played on Saturday. In the Triples game, John Coleman Luisa Girgenti and Ray Rankin out played Val White, Robyn Smith and Dot Rankin (26-13).

The men’s Pennant fours team played at Clifton. The method of determining the final results is quite complicated however the upshot was that both teams from the Stanthorpe Bowls Club progressed to the final and played two teams from Goondiwindi. The games were played at the Inglewood Bowls Club.

The two Stanthorpe Bowls Club teams won each of their matches making them the District B grade Fours Pennant teams Champions with a margin of 12 points. Congratulations to Brian Brown, Gordon Gallaway, Len Girgenti, and Peter Smith along with David Rose, Tom Hodgson and Frank Gallo.

RAWLINGS REVELS IN IMPROVED CONDITIONS After weeks of cold, windy or foggy mornings and sometimes all of the above, Stanthorpe Sporters were pleasantly surprised on Sunday morning to have warm and sunny conditions for their nine-hole event. The back nine was in play and as the group teed off there was an expectation of some good scores.

Continued page 34 Thursday, 26 August, 2021 TODAY 33

SPORT WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

The Spin From page 33 John Rawlings did best returning the winning score of nett 19 score. John’s warm up routine of pushing golf carts out and back into the shed obviously paid dividends. Terry Roser and Paul Armstrong each returned the next best, nett 24. Roser managed to draw a higher card and claimed the runner’s up position relegating Armstrong to the run down.

Brendon Barker continued his good form and had the lowest gross score of the day needing 38 hits for the round. The only par three pin shot on the day was at the 17th hole and Brendon also claimed it.

Our spy tells us Gary Kirby found a new way to play the par five 11th hole which he was able to turn into a par eight. Hitting trees often does this. Kirby’s tee shot flew into the nearest tree, his next hit even further from the hole than the tee shot. In the end an eight was a good score.

There will be no Sporters event Sunday with the Hello Yellow Charity Golf Day taking over the course. Naturally we hope to see some regulars on course for Hello Yellow if not Sporters play again in a fortnight when the front nine will be in play.

Stanthorpe golfers played a stableford event last Saturday and a good field including visitors from Bribie Island, McLeod and Riversdale Golf Clubs and they must have brought along the great playing conditions which everyone enjoyed. Club member, Ian Pickering kindly sponsored the round providing the prizes for the winners. In the men’s event, three players came in with the best score of 37 points and a countback was necessary to find the winner.

The eventual winner was one of the Bribie Island visitors, Brad Silver. Mark McCosker ended with the runner up prize and Ivan Juriss settled for an award in the run down.

The ladies were definitely pleased to find the course beginning to dry out and now affording some run now on the fairways. The scores are starting to reflect the improved conditions. Helen Jones returned the winning score of 38 points in the Ladies group. Another countback was necessary to find the runner up with Nikki Waterworth and Lyn Ludlow, each returned 35 points. Waterworth got the nod and Ludlow settled for a spot in the run down.

Len Leigh held the men’s pin shot at three, Ian Harvey at 12, and Ivan Juriss at 17. The Ladies’ pins were claimed by Nikki Waterworth at three and Key Webb cleaned up at 12 and 17.

Mark Hendry held the pro-pin at 1/10, Mark McCosker at 5/14 and Scott Constable at 9/18.

The birdies’ nest at 10 was unclaimed.

Others who featured in the run down were Jacob Steele, Stephen Kay and Kay Webb.

This Saturday’s club event is the end of month medley stableford sponsored by Jamworks Gourmet Foods. Play begins with a shot gun start at 12.00 noon. Players are asked to register by 11.30 am to give the starter ample time to allocate tee positions.

JONES RETURNS TO FORM The Stanthorpe ladies playing the midweek RSL competition say they could easily get used to the recent beautiful playing conditions.

Again, last week they enjoyed perfect conditions for their 18 Hole Individual Single Stableford event.

Helen Jones has been out of sorts on the course recently found form playing well, winning the round with a score of 36 points ahead of runner-up Lynette Ludlow (31points).

The run down went to Lisa Stuart (28 points). The second shot on the 12th and 17th went to Annelle Batterham and Helen Jones respectively and Kay Webb won nearest to the pin on 5/14.

ADCOCK FINDS FORM AND A WIN It was a weary bunch of ladies who backed up on Saturday to compete in the Cherry Tree sponsored Stableford event following the D&SW Championships earlier in the week.

20 players entered the 18 hole event and four played in the nine hole comp.

Taking advantage of a buggy ride Marg Adcock finally found some form. Her score of 35 points, her best round in several months. It was just enough to beat a very tired President, Liz Cockram, in a countback. Run down credits went to Mary Young (34), Molly Scotney (33), Gwen Mills (32), and Annice Payne (31).

The Pro Pin on 16 was decisively won by Trish Roberts. She did not let a sprained ankle stand in the way of her birdie. Minor credits were won by Mary and Molly.

In the nine hole event Jacque Millard won with a handicap equalling 18pts. It was great to see Jacque playing the nine hole event.

This week the ladies played the August MidWeek Medal on Wednesday. With the course in such great shape there should be some low scoring, especially with the end of year ShootOut looming large in everyone’s mind.(Check out results in next week’s Spin). On Saturday

the club has scheduled a nine and 18 hole Stableford.

The representative season is drawing to a close with the last game in the Adam Falconer Pennant to be played at Middle Ridge on Friday. Best of luck to the Warwick girls who play Pittsworth for a chance to win the Pennant.

The final Open Day of the season is at Clifton on Wednesday 1 September and a large contingent of Warwick players have shown an interest in playing. If you would like to be amongst them, please advise Marg Adcock as soon as possible. The Warwick club is also in a good position to win the Open Day Pennant, but some good golf and a touch of luck will be needed.

Ready to play. The Redbacks huddle for last minute advice from coach Tyhe Clarkson before Saturday’s game.

No premiership this year but the future is bright

By Tania Phillips The Warwick Redbacks season came to an end one week earlier than they’d like despite an impressive second half performance in their AFL Q Darling Downs semifinal against University at Toowoomba on Saturday afternoon.

However, despite the 28-point loss, 11-7 (73) to 7-3 (45) coach Tyhe Clarkson said there was plenty of positives to come out of the game and the season.

“It was a close one, they just got out to a really good lead in that first quarter I think they kicked six goals to our two-one and then it was pretty well level pegging from then on,” he said of the game.

“We won the second half. They had just got out to a bit of a lead early. We had a lot of opportunities, a lot of shots, a lot of inside 50s in the first quarter but we just didn’t capitalize on them and let it come out a bit too easily.

“They transitioned really well with the football, in one side out the other and got up the ground pretty easily but we sorted that out. We had a chat quarter time and addressed what we needed to do – which was to stop that run and increase our work rate and the boys stuck too it and ended up winning that second half.”

He said they just couldn’t afford to give University the head start and it wasn’t helped by injuries to keyplayers.

“Our ruckman, who has been amazing all year, Carmelo Citrigno went down with an injury to his shoulder early in the first quarter as well which didn’t help,” Clarkson said.

“One of our other guys from Stanthorpe, Josh Read, who has also been in unreal

form this year – especially late in the season, he injured his elbow just before half time – didn’t help.”

Clarkson said while it was disappointing to lose, the club was building for the future and their eye on more than just a one-off premiership.

“It was a very good season – it’s my first year coaching and it’s just great that all the boys listened and they wanted to learn and have the structure and go with it,” he said.

“They took on the gameplan that I had – I think it showed, we got to the preliminary final. People were writing us off pretty early, we lost a few games early in the season that could have gone either way but we stuck to our guns and we knew that if we played to the plan that could match it with anyone.”

He said it was a young team and the results from this first season were really promising.

“We started the season with some older guys – 28 plus and probably six or seven who were over 30 but throughout the season we picked up a few younger guys from around town,” Clarkson said.

“One of our guys – Connor Lloyd who won the Under Player of the Competition he was playing rep footy for the Toowoomba Crows so he brought a few of his mates to play for us as well when we were struggling for numbers. They’ve enjoyed themselves want to stick around as well so the future is looking pretty good.”

He said they haven’t had juniors since Covid but are looking to promote that and have reinstituted OzKick as well.

“Hopefully that will continue and we will get the juniors back on board – that leads to success for the club.”
