Touring Christmas of playing some smaller community shows as part of this year’s Christmas tour as he had just returned from a 15 show ‘Small Halls’ tour of Western Queensland and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Hanlon has invited a cast of characters along for the Queensland leg including the amazing Tasmanian folk singer Claire Anne Taylor.

Born in a barn built by her parents in Tas-

mania’s ancient Tarkine forest, Taylor’s music is reflective of her wild and remote upbringing.

Hanlon is also bringing along a couple of people he met and bonded with on the recent ‘Small Halls’ tour, both of them octogenarian.

Uncle Herb Wharton is an Aboriginal exstockman turned celebrated poet and novelist.

Being a fan of his writing Hanlon tracked him down while in Cunnamulla and the pair spent an afternoon yarning on Wharton’s

veranda. Being an avid traveller, the author lamented about being grounded for two years due to Covid.

Hanlon promised he’d try and include him in this year’s tour.

Herb will be reading a story each night about his experiences and memories of Christmas out on remote cattle stations.

Once again GBIP have shown a lack of courtesy and consideration towards affected landowners. A milestone in the project of ESD so significant to us affected landowners that the proponents and the CEO of the project couldnt have the decency to tell us personally. I might add that this is not the first time that we have been ignored, just one of several.

A “Pause” in the project...how long..a month..three months...six months or years.

Once again we are left up in the air with no end in sight. After all these years i think we are entitled to know an end date so that we can get on with our lives.

We have always supported ESD even though we were to lose a portion of our property only to find out Christmas Eve that GBIP wanted the whole property.

Shame on GBIP for your lack of compassion, consideration and courtesy. How would you like it if it was your property and it was happening to you?

signed up to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, at present there is only two reliable base load power sources that are net zero emissions that is hydroelectric and nuclear, I’m not suggesting that we go nuclear, the other is hydro or better still pump hydro.

Southern Downs is extremely well situated for pump hydro, by the time the Severn River gets to Sundown it is quite a substantial river, if a dam were to be situated at the optimum site in Sundown it could provide a substantial amount of emissions free power.

The Sundown dam would hold approximately twice the amount Glen Lyon dam holds, and would have > half the surface making the Sundown dam a very deep dam, the wall would be well over 120m high giving this dam enormous hydro potential, especially when coupled to another power source for pump hydro. Given the dams enormous size it could also be used for flood mitigation.

Incidentally the volume of irrigation water allocated to Emu Swamp Dam would only take up the top few inches of the Sundown dam.

Of course this dam won’t be built as we don’t have any visionary leaders like B Chifley, J McEwen or our lat great Queensland visionary Sir Joh, instead we get the Don Quixotes of the world “jousting with windmills”.

Right, here we go. Let’s talk about the vaccine mandate.

Now, I’ve always been quite pro-vax.

Straight off the bat, there it is. I got vaccinated the first chance I could.

I was raised getting them, trusting science. Did you know Australia is the only country to successfully vaccinate again HPV? That’s huge!

But I struggle a little bit with my thoughts on the vaccine mandate, because like a Koreelah resident put it this week, it’s all about choice.

Even if you know it’s the right choice, the choice you would have made on your own had you had options, it’s the not having options that gets you.

That makes you question whether it’s what you want.

That being said, we always knew we were never going to reach 100 per cent.

That’s the whole point. People will always be too young or too old, or have health, religious, or other reasons for not getting vaccinated.

The point was for people who could and were willing to get vaccinated to do so, so we can protect those who can’t.

So it seems a bit…odd to me that we’re putting in place these rules and mandates, because if we hit 80 per cent that’s really all we can do.

We will most likely have an end vaccination rate of over 80 per cent, but at some point, we are going to have to learn to live with Covid-19.

Covid will become another flu-like virus we have to deal with, getting boosters every year like we do the flu shot, and this is the reality we have to face.

Having those who are unvaccinated wear a mask around town when borders initially open seems quite logical to me, as they’re the most at risk of catching and spreading the virus.

We don’t want to see locals get sick.

More than that, we honestly don’t have the facilities to look after those who get sick.

If you need to go to the hospital due to Covid-19 out here, you will most likely get airlifted to another hospital with the facilities to properly care for you.

It will be very interesting to see how things pan out, and how the meeting goes next week.

I would really like to get a broader view of the community’s thoughts on the mandate, so please let me know your thoughts.

Darren Hamlon entertains December 2020 was the first time in 16 years Darren Hanlon couldn’t embark on his national Christmas tour.

So this year with the borders opening just wide enough for him to sneak in a couple of shows down south in Sydney and Melbourne he’s doing just that, with a show in his home state of Queensland in Brisbane at the historic Balmoral Cinema.

Additionally, Hanlon was excited by the idea of playing some smaller community shows as part of this year’s Christmas tour as he had just returned from a 15 show ‘Small Halls’ tour of Western Queensland and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Hanlon has invited a cast of characters along for the Queensland leg including the amazing Tasmanian folk singer Claire Anne Taylor.

Born in a barn built by her parents in Tasmania’s ancient Tarkine forest, Taylor’s music is reflective of her wild and remote upbringing.

Hanlon is also bringing along a couple of people he met and bonded with on the recent ‘Small Halls’ tour, both of them octogenarian.

Uncle Herb Wharton is an Aboriginal exstockman turned celebrated poet and novelist.

Being a fan of his writing Hanlon tracked him down while in Cunnamulla and the pair spent an afternoon yarning on Wharton’s veranda.

Being an avid traveller, the author lamented about being grounded for two years due to Covid.

Hanlon promised he’d try and include him in this year’s tour.

Herb will be reading a story each night about his experiences and memories of Christmas out on remote cattle stations.

Also coming along is the emcee from Hanlon’s recent Muckadilla show, David Bowden.

“We just connected,” says Hanlon, “and he really got the crowd revved up in a very funny and old fashioned way.

“Plus the day after the show he gave me a tour of Roma in his hearse so that really won me over!

“I’m most excited to see how his style works at the inner-city Brisbane show.

“They’re really gonna get a slice of Muckadilla.

“Plus he’s gonna be travelling the whole tour in his hearse!”

As for the show itself, it’ll be business as usual, with Hanlon playing a selection of songs from his ever-growing catalogue, including his latest single ‘Lapsed Catholic’.

The song comes equipped with the candid and acutely observant lyrics Hanlon has become widely known for and is the first release from Darren’s 6th studio album ‘Life Tax’ due for release in March 2022.

The music video was filmed at various locations in his home town of Gympie.

Hanlon himself says of Lapsed Catholic: “It’s not a comment on Catholics themselves but the administration”.

“I was brought up Catholic.

“The song was a knee jerk reaction after the parish priest handed out an anti-gay marriage petition at a Christmas Eve mass a few years ago.

“I had gay friends who were in the congregation, and they must’ve felt pretty conflicted.

“In the end, this song became less a protest as first intended, but more a map of my journey out of the Catholic franchise.

“Thankfully I’ve never lost my sense of wonder in terms of spirituality, just the Catho-

lic guidebook towards it.”

‘Lapsed Catholic’ will be Hanlon’s first release since the lockdown inspired single ‘We All Cope in Different Ways’.

The unlikely radio hit became an ABC and Double J favourite, and won the 2020 audience-voted best song on Henry Wagon’s ‘Tower of Song’ show.

And landed on some heavy-hitting Spotify playlists.

As 2021 nears its end, it’s an increasingly busy time for Hanlon including being the feature Artist in Residence across Australian Music Month in November 2021 on Double J. And he has voiced a cameo character on the new series of Bluey that was released on 22 November.

Also in the works is a five-part podcast telling the story of Darren’s life and career produced and created by Mike Williams which will be released in early 2022.

Jenny McCarthy from the Glen Aplin Memorial Hall Committee says that “with the Festival of Small Halls giving our community hall a heartbeat over the last couple of years bringing live music to locals surrounding our area and beyond, we look super forward to Darren gracing the stage”.

“We thought this would be a good opportunity and great news story to support Stanthorpe and the arts. I know it will be a fantastic night and hope that people will have the opportunity to come and share Darren’s and friends stories.”

150th re-enactment in store

By Dominique Tassell

Good times: A star is born

By Stephen Tancred The Christmas tree was erected in Stanthorpe early Tuesday morning by Council work-

ers despite the cold drizzly rain.

This marks the start of the official Yuletide season in the main street.

The minutes of the recent Stanthorpe 150 meeting were noted at the recent Ordinary Council Meeting of Southern Downs Regional Council.

Staff first noted that after Councillor Stephen Tancred stepped down, Councillor Cameron Gow had taken his place as chair.

Listed in the minutes was a suggestion to hold a re-enactment, which Councillor Andrew Gale inquired about.

Councillor Gow stated that in the first term of the amalgamated Council, Mayor Bellingham authorised a re-enactment for Warwick of a Council meeting from “back in the day”.

Councillor Jo McNally joked that even though women couldn’t be part of the Council back then, they were allowed to join in the reenactment.

Councillor Gale said he was very interested, as he is known to enjoy dressing up for the region’s events.

The motion was moved by Councillor Gow and seconded by Councillor Gale.

Locals Sandra McEwan and Paula Boatfield have also announced new details about their book project attached to the Stanthorpe 150 celebrations.

In a release, they stated that “the largely picture book takes on a ‘then and now’ theme, with images sourced from the past (providing the ‘then’ picture) carefully reconstructed to-

day (thus providing the ‘now’ picture)”.

“In some pairings the comparisons are obvious, others are a bit more obscure and one needs to look for reference points in the images to get your bearings.”

Paula Boatfield stated that “the book will cover many topics including Stanthorpe town and the surrounding areas, residences, industry, transport, recreation, sport, education, religion and military-themed chapters”.

“It also includes a chapter on disasters, as these events have certainly helped to shape our town into what it is today”.

The project has been part-funded by a Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) grant. The RADF is a partnership between the Queensland Government and the Southern Downs Regional Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.

Warwick Today and Stanthorpe Today will also be producing a book for Stanthorpe 150, dedicating a few pages from every edition throughout the year to celebrating Stanthorpe’s milestone that we will then compile into a book.

‘We’re just trying to live’

By Dominique Tassell A border resident has spoken out about the struggles those on the border face, stating they can more easily go and see their daughter and grandchildren in London than they can family in Queensland.

With the Christmas period coming up, locals have raised concerns over the impacts mandates and border rules will have on locals.

Christine Peterson lives in Old Koreelah but works in Warwick, and travels across the border pretty much every day.

“We’ve been dealing with this since March last year,” she says.

Christine says they’ve had to negotiate a sort of half-system.

“Most of the police on the border are very good,” she says. “But it’s the constant wondering if when you get to the border you’re going to get the one who’s going to be hard.”

“Lots of other locals have really struggled with the stress of getting to the border and not knowing if you’re going to get back over.”

She says it feels like they’re being required to

jump through more and more hoops.

When the border rules changed recently, Christine says she had an hour and a half hour of notice.

“Teachers weren’t classed as essential workers then,” she says.

So for six or seven weeks, she stayed in Warwick.

She couldn’t get home to Old Koreelah, because she’d need her vaccinations to get over.

Now she has her vaccinations, they’re being asked to get tested every time they want to cross the border for non-essential purposes.

Christine says it feels like they haven’t been given the choice, and have to jump through whatever hoops the State Government creates.

“We have no real voice because we’re not Queensland voters, even though we basically function as a Queensland community,” she says.

Travelling to towns outside of the border community is pretty much out of the question normally due to the distance, and all the emergency services areas like Old Koreelah use are Queensland ones.

Christine says the process of crossing the border is also incredibly hard on the elderly, who have to do applications online when they may not have access to the required technology.

Christine says the big issue is that nobody knows what the plan is. Border residents face constant stress over whether they can cross the border, to do essential tasks or otherwise.

“We’re just trying to live,” Christine emphasises.

The new testing mandate is a source of stress, as locals don’t know where to even get the test.

They can’t come into Queensland to get tested, and they don’t know where else to go.

“It’s just not viable for us to travel an hour and a half,” Christine says. “It’s ten or fifteen minutes into Queensland.”

She says the hardest part is not being able to cross the border to see family.

Christine says that frankly it doesn’t make sense to her that she can go to school and see 200-300 people but not see her family.

She says one of the biggest causes of unrest in the border communities is the spotlight on

areas such as Tweed.

“It’s frustrating for us,” she says.

“Koreelah is just farms and a church, we don’t have shops.”

While residents of areas such as Tweed are undoubtedly impacted by border restrictions, they can still do many things that border residents out here cannot.

Christine says kids can’t cross the border to go to sport, and locals can’t attend any sort of recreational activity.

“We’re not meant to do anything but what is classed essential,” she says.

“It’s the social part of it that’s been really difficult.”.

But more than that, it’s what exactly the State Government classifies as essential.

“We can’t go to funerals, can’t go to weddings,” Christine says.

Christine says mental health is a real concern for border residents.

“It is a stress on people; it’s the constant stress that is impacting people.”

Note of some concern: Letter causes rift in council

By Dominique Tassell A letter was the cause of debate at the recent Southern Downs Regional Council meeting, with Mayor Vic Pennisi requesting that councillors endorse a letter that had already been sent.

This left some councillors questioning why he could not delay the letter a day to hold off until they had endorsed it.

Councillor Sheryl Windle confirmed that the letter was sent out to councillors on Tuesday night, the night before the Ordinary Council Meeting, but had already been sent off “some time earlier in the day”.

“I just would have preferred it if we’d had an opportunity to have some input,” she said.

She also highlighted that the locals organising a meeting regarding the topic would have probably had some valuable input too.

In the meeting, Mayor Pennisi stated that councillors had been receiving “volumes of correspondence” in relation to the changes coming into effect on 17 December.

His letter, sent to Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, asked the premier to reconsider this decision. He also suggested in the letter, which you can find on our website, that the unvaccinated could simply wear masks to protect themselves and other members of the community once the 80 per cent vaccination target is reached or 17 December arrives.

Councillor Jo McNally was the first in the meeting to raise that she would have preferred to see the letter delayed one day in order to be properly endorsed.

“Why couldn’t it wait one day?”

Mayor Pennisi stated he’d been planning

12525250-SN49-21

the letter “for a number of days”, and he sent it as soon as it was ready.

While he was hoping for councillors to endorse it, he said: “If you don’t endorse it you don’t endorse it”.

“At the end of the day, Councillor McNally, I am the mayor and I made a call based on the community sentiment that was coming across my desk.”

Councillor McNally raised that the community sentiment represented in the letter may only be a small proportion of the community, as the vast majority of the Southern Downs is now vaccinated.

“So the amount of correspondence that we have had is small in comparison to those amounts,” she said.

She raised that it seemed as if the rest of the community had not been consulted.

“So we’re not going to bother to ask the rest of the people?”

“And there are a lot of people who have actually gone and done the right thing and got vaccinated.

“They had concerns in regards to getting vaccinated, but they actually went and did the right thing.

“For our community, we are a community.

“So as I said, Mr Mayor, whether you’d been working on it for a few days, I’m not quite sure, but it would have been nice if you actually waited until today.

“One day was not going to make any difference to actually get it endorsed today rather than sending it off then asking for endorsement later.”

Councillor Andrew Gale then stated he was happy to endorse the letter, stating he

didn’t believe there was anything in its contents that “particularly spoke to one status or another”.

“You spoke to the potential that it could divide the community,” he said.

He stated the letter was not about people getting vaccinated, but about the matter of “and the matter of not creating divisiveness in the community”.

Councillor Ross Bartley stated he thought the letter was a good response to community sentiment and a united response from Council.

He stated the letter “shows that we are thinking of everybody whether they are double vaccination, not vaccinated, or otherwise”.

He stated that people in the community had concerns for their employees and for the divide the mandate may cause.

“I think your letter conveys the sentiments that are being directed towards us as a council,” he said.

Councillor Windle stated that she was surprised to see the letter had been sent when she received it.

“We talk about openness and transparency, we haven’t been very transparent with this as far as us councillors go,” she said.

“We should have been informed or given an opportunity to speak on this before it was sent out.

“I firmly believe, and I also believe that the letters that we’ve been receiving, or the emails that we’ve been receiving are from a minority of people.

She stated some businesses in the community were happy with the mandate be-

cause they felt protected by it, while others were not.

“So there’s a cross-section of people, but we didn’t get an opportunity to consult those people, or to hear their views before this was sent out so I think we’re here to represent everybody not just those minority and we should’ve given people the opportunity to have their say on this as well.”

Councillor Stephen Tancred then spoke in support of the letter, particularly the Mayor’s recommendation regarding mask-wearing.

He stated that speed is important in politics.

“This letter shows that we care, shows that we can act, that our aim is also to keep people safe and we’re connected at the grassroots but also want to speak to the Queensland Government.”

Councillor Marco Gliori noted that he’d only received “anti-mandate emails”, but did not know that this was a clear indication of the wider community sentiment.

He stated that we’ve seen the pandemic “wreak havoc on our medical systems throughout the world, and stress our medical staff to the max”.

“With this pandemic moving swiftly throughout the community, the numbers of those infected requiring treatment are terrifying.”

He stated that we have been incredibly fortunate in our region, but need to listen to the wider community’s concerns.

The motion to endorse the letter was carried, with a division called.

Councillors McNally and Windle voted against the motion.

Don’t risk the flood waters Police have issued a stark warning to motorists after officers were forced to put their own lives at risk in a number of floodwater rescues throughout the Darling Downs area earlier this week and over the weekend.

Just after 10.40 pm on Saturday 27 November, police and emergency services were called to the Cunningham Highway at Warwick where water had risen half a metre over Freestone Creek Bridge.

Police entered the fast-flowing waters to extract two women and an infant from a vehicle and bring them back to safety.

Around 10.50 pm officers were called out to Jack Smith Gully Road at Swan Creek where another vehicle had become inundated by floodwaters.

Police used rope to form a human chain and waded through strong, waist-high currents to retrieve a woman through the driver’s window and carry her back to dry land.

At around 3.20 am on Sunday 28 November, morning a man and a boy were rescued from a four-wheel-drive stranded in floodwaters along Forest Hill Fernvale Road at Glenore Grove.

Darling Downs District Superintendent Danny Shaw said with more rain predicted,

now is not the time to be complacent and take chances around floodwaters.

“As we can see from these incidents overnight, flash flooding can occur very quickly and without any notice, even on roads that you usually travel on without any issues,” Superintendent Shaw said.

“This type of rain also causes significant structural damage to roads, so even if you think it looks safe, you can never be sure exactly what is underneath the water.

“It’s not worth risking the lives of yourself, your loved ones, and those of emergency services.”

“I’m urging residents to use common sense – back away from flooded roadways, delay your journey if necessary. If it’s flooded, forget it.”

On Monday 29 November, a truck was involved in a floodwater rescue at Goondiwindi.

Paramedics assessed a male patient after a truck rolled over into water flood water at the intersection of the Cunningham Highway and Kerimbilla Road at 3.25 am.

The driver self-extricated and was rescued

by Queensland Fire and Rescue Service swift water technicians and did not require transport to the hospital.

Local meeting organised for ‘choice’ over mandate

By Dominique Tassell

SRC Mayor Vic Pennisi suggested mask wearing for the unvaccinated over a mandate. a letter to Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk detailing his concerns.

He stated he was concerned that this would create division in the community, and recommended mask wearing for the unvaccinated instead.

Pam stated that the meeting was prompt-

ed by the concerns of local business owners, who she says felt quite defeated about the mandate.

She also highlighted the mental and general health impacts she believed the mandate would have.

A meeting for locals to advocate for choice in the Southern Downs will be held at WIRAC on 7 December at 6:15 pm.

The meeting is being held so locals can “come together with peaceful and compassionate hearts to strongly and in unity to convey to our council our volition and authorisation for freedom of choice in the Southern Downs”.

Pam Burley, one of the organisers being the meeting, stated that the meeting is an opportunity for locals to be informed about what will happen on 17 December or for those with a set view against it to let Council know about it.

“It’s to encourage Council to make a stand alongside other local government authorities to be pro-choice regions,” she said.

She said the meeting is not an opportunity for locals to discuss vaccination status, but rather to make the point that they didn’t believe in discriminating against other locals based on vaccination status.

Pam says the agenda is very clear, and the meeting is about the state government’s mandate which they have asked local governments to provide community views on.

SDRC Mayor Vic Pennisi has already sent

owners and staff in,” she said.

She stated that she couldn’t fathom business owners having to turn away a friend or regular customer because of their vaccination status.

Pam said her passion is community development, and it saddens her to see potential division caused by the mandate.

“Once you start making rules, instead of relying on people living by principle it becomes a matter of managing those rules,” she said. “It just goes on and on.”

“What we don’t want to see happen is the soul and spirit of Queenslanders particularly Southern Downs, we don’t want to see people broken about this.

“We’re not powerless; we can stand with other regions to say we choose to be a prochoice community.”

Pam said she wants to see the region maintain its humanity and kindness.

She encourages anyone who is unsure or on the fence about the mandate to come and listen at the meeting.

“This is about what we can do as a region to make a stance and look after our community,” Pam said.

“If you’re curious and not sure, come and listen,” she said. “It’s for everybody.”

Funding to flow to clubs

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council approved 17 Community Drought Recovery Program applications, for a total of $200,981, at the recent Ordinary Council Meeting.

Councillor Ross Bartley stated that looking through the applications, he stated that there were some pretty good choices there and they were very fair and evenly spread throughout the community.

He raised concerns about the buying of equipment by the deadline of March 2022, stating shortages may prevent this.

He questioned whether the equipment being paid for, and a receipt provided, would allow the applicants to get some leeway.

Staff members said they expected this may be an option.

Councillors changed the motion before moving it, so that authority would be delegated to SDRC CEO Dave Burges “to reallocate funding for withdrawn projects, or projects that do not meet their specific conditions of their funding offer, using the next highest scoring application”.

Groups on the list to receive funding include the Killarney Rec Club, Dalveen Film Society, Warwick Killarney Uniting Church,

Stanthorpe Agricultural Society, Ballandean Football Club, Warwick Gymnastics Club, Warwick Men’s Shed, Killarney Show and Rodeo Society, and more.

The Killarney Rec Club application is of note, as it applies for machinery to mow their facilities.

The club inquiring about SDRC help was the source of debate at the last Connecting with Council meeting in Leyburn, with some councillors concerned that their approving Stanthorpe Sports Association’s lease with added benefits would cause other clubs to ask for help too.

As the list of projects for this motion shows, many clubs in the region simply need help.

It is stated the Killarney Rec Club is currently using borrowed mowers from local farmers.

The club states that “having unlimited access to our own equipment allows volunteers to schedule their time”.

Ensuring the timing of borrowing local mowers suits all parties is involved is becoming “quite difficult”, they state.

The motion was moved by Councillor Jo McNally and seconded by Councillor Cameron Gow.

Councillor Jo McNally raised concerns about the Brock Park toilets in Stanthorpe not being a designated park. She stated it may be on a road reserve, and whether it was part of the parks rationalisation plan.

SDRC CEO Dave Burges stated they would be refurbishing what is there, gutting it and maintaining the outside with murals.

He stated he thought the facility was quite well-used.

Councillor Andrew Gale stated he noted they were re-asphalting some roads, and queried whether Maria and Sangricoli Court in Stanthorpe could be added into the mix He stated Council had received “numerous items of correspondence” in relation to these streets.

“They were re-sealed with the spray bitumen treatment and there’s still considerable issues there,” he said.

Councillor Gale stated that he believed other projects on the list had been asphalted by developers originally, while the two streets he was drawing attention to had been Council’s responsibility.

He further stated that the spray-reseal and the loose gravel that’s come off it has been a problem for residents, who have “to go and sweep the cul-de-sac to get the rocks off”.

The CEO stated they could certainly consider those projects.

The change from a few weeks ago is clear to see.

Local birds enjoying the high dam levels.

Locals will be pleased to see this boat ramp is now actually in the water.

A dam good sight

By Dominique Tassell Leslie Dam sure is a sight to see, with locals guaranteed to be up basking in the high levels every time this newspaper goes on their weekly “dam watch” trip.

At the time of print, Leslie Dam was sitting at 79.49 per cent, having gone up steadily from 75 per cent over the weekend.

With the rain pouring down outside as I write this, it’s expected that the dam levels will rise to 80 per cent sometime this week.

Leslie Dam hit 70 per cent last week, and 60 per cent the week before, with locals now crossing their fingers that we might see the dam join the others in the region at full capacity.

Connolly Dam, which also supplies Warwick, is 100 per cent full. As is Stanthorpe’s sole urban water supply, Storm King Dam. Storm King Dam reached full capacity for the first time in years in late March 2021.

Glenlyon Dam spilled over last week.

In Wallangarra, recent rainfall has restored the water level in both the Beehive Dam and The Soak to full capacity.

Council is reportedly still in discussion with Toowoomba Regional Council and Seqwater to supply water to Warwick via a new pipeline – a project led by the Queensland government, though locals have questioned why Council is investing in a dam that was at such a low level during the drought and currently sits at 39.8 per cent at the time of print.

Some have commented that perhaps a dam should be built in the northern end of the region.

Water running into the dam at Sandy Creek.

The Emu Swamp Dam, set for the Granite Belt, has also recently commenced a “pause” stage of the project. As reported in this newspaper last week, this may be due to the breakdown of negotiations between the project and affected landholders after Granite Belt Irriga-

tion Project asked landholders to sell their entire properties, to be used as “environmental offset”.

GBIP did not respond to this newspaper’s questions in time to be included in this week’s edition of the paper.

Taking stand by taking seat

By Warwick Anglican Parish and Mothers’ Union Warwick Branch Warwick Anglican Parish and Mothers’ Union Warwick Branch celebrated our annual Church Service to pray for an end to Domestic and Family Violence.

We welcomed Mrs Bette Bonney from Warwick Safe Haven who talked to the congregation about the work that Warwick Safe Haven does in our local area to provide support to victims of family and domestic violence.

The service also promoted the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence which begins on Thursday, 25 November until 10 December.

Anglican Mothers’ Union Australia (AMUA) joins with 6,000 organisations from 187 countries to participate in this campaign.

This year’s theme is “NO MORE 1 in 3 - END ABUSE AND VIOLENCE NOW”.

The Venerable Lizzie Gaitskell, the rector of St Mark’s Parish, unveiled and blessed a Red Rose Foundation “Red Bench” garden seat at the end of the church service.

The Red Bench will be placed in the St Mark’s church grounds.

The presence of a Red Bench in a public location aims to raise public awareness and provides an opportunity for this critical issue of Domestic Violence to remain visible.

There are over 250 Red Benches across Queensland, NSW and South Australia and local Councils are getting behind this project and they are springing up everywhere.

SDRC unveils upgrades Southern Downs Regional Council recently unveiled upgrades to the Stanthorpe Long Haul Waste Facility.

On Friday 26 November 2021, SDRC was joined by the Assistant Minister for Local Government and State Member for Pine Rivers Nikki Boyd MP at the unveiling.

SDRC says these upgrades will “ensure efficient continuity of waste services to the Granite Belt community”.

The upgrades were needed as the existing landfill recently reached capacity.

Upgrades include the provision of a new gatehouse building, the relocation of the existing weighbridge, the construction of a long haul waste facility shed, and improvements to the road network.

The $2.475m project received $1.725m funding through the Queensland Government’s 2020-21 Covid Works for Queensland program, with Council contributing the remainder towards the works.

Meeting, but not to plan

By Dominique Tassell The Warwick town planning meeting was held earlier this week, after being delayed due to a Covid-19 case in the community earlier this month.

The meeting was initially going to be held in Warwick Town Hall, but due to other bookings, it was held in the Rose City Shopping Centre outside Woolworths, which proved to be a good strategy for engaging locals.

Local concerns included that we need to make young people stay in the region, and give them things to do.

Along the same line of thought, it was raised that the housing crisis is impacting the ability of people to move to the region.

Locals also highlighted that we currently have homeless people in the region who need support and housing.

Another local said that often, low-quality housing is expensive in the main towns and blocks should be made smaller so houses are cheaper.

Jobs in the region were another topic of discussion, with some locals pointing out we need jobs for older people too, stating we need more diverse industries in the region.

Jobs for people of all qualifications were also frequently mentioned, and concerns about there being enough of them.

Locals also highlighted that they’d like to see more trees on Council land, and bike trails so people can get out and enjoy the nature in the region.

Locals raised concerns about Council’s acting on climate change, saying they would like

Due to flooding from rain overnight on Friday 26 November, Warwick Gymnastics was forced to cancel their Christmas Carnival on Sunday 28 November.

Weather blow to carnival

By Dominique Tassell to see more done in the Southern Downs.

“Southern Downs region can always do more,” one local said.

Another local suggested that Connolly Dam be improved, with higher walls and a second wall to capture more water.

Other comments centred on the character of the town, with many pointing out that signage was an issue.

Some locals raised concerns about too much advertising on the way into town.

“We have a unique soul to our town, if we lose that we lose our character,” one local said.

Concerns were raised about small businesses finding it difficult to establish themselves in town, and lacking support from Council.

Some locals stated that businesses, and the people behind them, were moving to places like Toowoomba where they had a better chance to grow.

All in-person meetings have been held, however locals can still provide feedback directly to Council if they wish to do so.

Due to flooding from rain overnight on Friday 26 November, Warwick Gymnastics was forced to cancel their Christmas Carnival on Sunday 28 November.

Warwick Gymnastics posted early on Saturday morning stating that the gym was flooded and training for the day was cancelled.

They posted hours later stating that the carnival would have to be cancelled too, with refunds worked out through individual clubs.

Coby Walker from Warwick Gymnastics stated that the competition was a small, friendly competition that was “a bit of fun for the kids”.

About 100 kids were expected to attend, with kids travelling from Toowoomba and other areas outside the region.

“They’re all devastated,” Coby said.

“They were really looking forward to it.”

The carnival was to be the last competition for the kids this year.

Coby stated that they would have to can-

cel training during the week too, as it takes a week for the mats to dry.

However, the flooding may well have destroyed the mats and new ones will most likely need to be purchased.

With the damage to facilities and equipment, and some fees still needing to be paid for the cancelled carnival, the impact of the flooding will be quite significant.

The facilities have reportedly flooded several times before, with a Council drain the source of the issue.

Coby said they have applied for grants but have been unsuccessful.

“At the end it’s impacting very significantly on our club,” he said.

Coby estimates the damage, and fees from the event, will probably cost the club around $5000 to $6000.

They have to refund fees, while still paying coaches and repair costs.

Coby estimates around $100,000 worth of mats have been wrecked by the flooding.

“It’s getting a bit stressful,” he said. “But we’ll keep battling on, it’s what we do.”

Have a ball for chaplaincy

By Dominique Tassell A local charity ball is being held on 11 December to raise money and awareness for chaplaincy in the region.

The event is for the state schools in Warwick, and the Killarney, Maryvale and Wheatvale state schools. There are seven schools in total, with five chaplains.

The event will be held at 7 pm at King’s Theatre in Warwick CBD. Peter James, the Group Chief Executive Officer at Scripture Union Australia, will be in attendance as will Goondiwindi Mayor, Lawrence Springborg.

Brenton Drennert, the president of the committee behind the event, says Mr Springborg will come and share his experience in all the different levels of government he’s been

involved in, and his experience helping young people in rural areas.

Brenton says it’s all about highlighting the importance of investing in the well-being of our youth.

He says there is often a misconception that chaplains are in schools to carry out religious work, which is not the truth.

He says while they may be there in a spiritual aspect, their actual job is to provide emotional support.

While they may provide students with spiritual help if they ask for it, the main thing they do is work as youth workers.

Brenton says all chaplains are qualified youth workers, and that’s the most important part of what they do.

“The focus at the moment is on getting more people involved and interested in the

wellbeing of children in the community,” he says.

The committee is also aiming to raise money to increase programs and hours for chaplaincy services.

“We get a certain amount of government funding, but for some of these schools that don’t receive government funding we’re looking to increase the availability of chaplains.”

He says some schools don’t have councillors or social workers, so it’s important for our youth to have someone to talk to about their wellbeing.

Chaplains also carry out breakfast and lunch programs, which is an important way they look after youth in our region.

“We want to get an increased number of monetary donations and volunteers to help chaplains carry out wellbeing programs that

boost kids’ self-esteem,” Brenton says.

He highlighted that in some schools a lot of grandparents help out. He says the pandemic has highlighted the community spirit but also presented a lot of opportunities for people to help each other.

Brenton says it’s been a rough time for everybody.

He says they were lucky in that their chaplain from Killarney is from Warwick, so could still go to school even when half the teachers were stuck on the other side of the border.

Brenton says checking in on families on the new South Wales side of the border was an important part of the chaplaincy program.

Youth Council wraps up for the year

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council noted the minutes of the recent Youth Council meeting at the last Ordinary Council Meeting, shedding light on the concerns of local youth.

On 21 October 2021, the Southern Downs Youth Council held its final meeting for 2021 at the Stanthorpe Civic Centre.

Students from Allora P-10 State School, Assumption College Warwick, Killarney P-10 State School, School of Total Education, SCOTS PGC College, Stanthorpe State High School, St Joseph’s School, and Warwick State High School were present at the meeting.

The Manager of Community and Cultural Services thanked the students for their time throughout the year, their dedication and

sharing of ideas.

“They are the future leaders of our community and Council encourages their frank and fearless feedback,” it was stated in the agenda.

Students gave feedback on the Youth Council Program, with half the students stating that the program delivered in only some areas of their expectations while the other half stated it delivered beyond their expectations.

Some students felt that the Youth Council meetings were too short, with there also being the sentiment that there were not enough meetings throughout the year.

General feedback included that some guest speakers were interesting however they

took away from the things the group wanted to achieve.

Students also enjoyed the connection between schools that Youth Council gave them, but felt this could also be improved and prioritised.

When asked what topics students were interested in reading about in the media, responses included national politics, mental health, environmental issues and sustainability, natural disasters around the world, new businesses within the community, sports, international news, local efforts to reduce carbon emissions, local people, and information on higher education.

SDRC Mayor, Vic Pennisi, stated when presenting students with their certificates

SDRC Mayor Vic Penissi emphasised at the meeting that the Youth Council played an important role in the community. that it is important that the Youth Council move into next year knowing that they matter, that their contributions are important and that they are the future leaders of the Southern Downs community.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK NCIS 10, Tuesday, 8.30pm

Can a long-running series be the same when an integral, much-loved character takes a back seat? This is what fans are wondering as season 19 of the police procedural premieres tonight. In perhaps a merciful move, the show’s writers appeared to kill off Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) via a massive boat explosion in last season’s finale, planting the seed that the central protagonist’s days were numbered after 18 years on the beat. In “Blood in the Water”, the team searches for Gibbs after discovering the wreckage of his boat, and find out he was tracking a serial killer. Harmon bows out this season, with limited appearances promised in future.

MADDY THE MODEL SBS Viceland, Friday, 9.50pm

TOTAL CONTROL ABC TV, Sunday, 8.40pm

Swedish filmmaker Jane Magnusson embarked on a four-year, round-theworld journey following Brisbaneborn Madeline Stuart (pictured) and her mother Rosanne to film this intimate documentary. It tells the story of how Maddy, who was born with Down syndrome, became a star on the New York Fashion Week runway, and how her remarkable career unfolded while the media watched with fascination. At its core, it’s an exploration of the bond between a mother and daughter who have gone up against the odds with optimism and a can-do attitude, and an examination of the concept of disability and beauty.

The penultimate episode of season two of this piercing political drama is bolstered by excellent performances from its stars Deborah Mailman (pictured), Rachel Griffiths and William McInnes. At a short and sharp six episodes long, its perhaps enough time for viewers to marinate in the absurdity and selfishness of politics; one can easily imagine certain scenes playing out across the country as political leaders hustle to keep their jobs. This week, the identity of Alex’s (Mailman) troll is finally uncovered, and he’s someone she knows.

Meanwhile, Alex and Rachel (Griffiths) band together to ultimately decide who will be the next PM.

Chain of command: Mark Harmon has played NCIS stalwart Special Agent Gibbs since 2003.

TRAVEL, COOK, REPEAT WITH CURTIS STONE SBS Food, Monday, 6.30pm

In this leisurely series, he adds travel into the concoction for the perfect mix of escapism and food because, let’s face it: travel is food’s best friend. In this six-part sojourn, he begins in Western Australia, with further episodes indulging in Rome, Umbria, Rioja, Sonoma and New South Wales. Tonight, mud crabs are the star when Stone catches some at the beach. The result is a delicious Vietnamese salad.

Rural Links This week on the farm

By Judy Barnet, Ag Columnist I can’t believe I didn’t hear a thing. Chaos reigned this morning at 5 am. I was lying in bed enjoying my morning coffee that had not long been delivered to me by my nearest and dearest when Richie called out, “Cows in the garden,” and rushed out the door. By the time I got outside, still in my slippers, a delighted Dora rushed out to greet me and straight away I knew where the trouble had started. Dora had somehow slipped her collar and with no one around had been unable to resist the temptation of chasing the cows and sheep. It was no use going mad at her as she hadn’t been caught in the act. The cows had pushed (or more likely been chased) through one of our “temporary” fences and into the gardens.

It looks like they started in the outside gardens and demolished only that which appealed to them – all of the lettuces, beetroot and silverbeet. Carrots and potatoes were spared. They then moved into the main garden devouring more than half of the Isabella grapevine that gives the cottage its summer shade. Grapes were lying in bunches on the ground everywhere. The roses were next to go. They are right underneath our bedroom window but I never heard a thing. They then turned their attention to the parsley, however, it had already gone to seed so was no big loss.

Their big bellies must have been getting full by then as the other plants have only been sampled. Of course, giant hoof prints and even more giant cow patties have made one hell of a mess of the neatly mowed lawn.

Neither CJ nor the cottage guests (to my knowledge) woke up through all this but I can only imagine the look on our guest’s faces when they drew back the curtains in their bedroom that face onto the cottage verandah! The ewe and lamb (the one the goanna attacked) in the yards near the house also escaped, undoubtedly helped by Dora. Richie has vowed to make permanent the temporary fencing a high priority job!

Earlier in the week, I had to deal with my own chaos and dummy spit with an apology thrown in to boot. I had asked Richie to come home before dark if he could to help load the pigs into the trailer. No worries he said. I arrived home around 5 pm, fed the calves and did a few other jobs, then I thought I would have a go at loading the pigs as Richie wasn’t home yet. Now, remember the pigs had been put back in the pigpen after last week’s episode of ransacking the chook pen. However, once again I decided it would be easier to let them out and try to get them in the trailer outside the yards rather than back the trailer up to the (wonky) ramp and load them that way. All went well to start with and before you could say “Jumping Jack Flash” one of the gilts

Bird with beak open.

Dora racing through the water. jumped in the trailer! The second was a bit wary though and kept putting her front feet up and eating the pig pellets I had thrown in to encourage self-loading that were within her reach. After a few minutes, I couldn’t risk the other pig jumping out so I snuck up, grabbed the back end of the gilt that was half in the trailer and pushed hard. She weighed around 70kg and was trying equally hard to push back out and what happened next would have been funny if it had happened to anyone else but me! I hadn’t chocked the trailer as it was on flat ground, however, with me pushing the trailer started rolling forward. After about five metres I lost the battle, the pig took off but the other remained in the trailer quite unperturbed.

Not one to give up easily I figured the trailer couldn’t move much further so I got some more food to give it a second go. Unfortu-

Young bird.

Kings of the castle. nately, the second attempt went rather like the first only this time both pigs escaped. I was pretty annoyed by this time and decided it was time to walk away. By this time the trailer was a fair way into the scrub and would need a couple of people to push it back before it could be hooked on a vehicle. I walked back up to the house just on dark and also just as Richie drove in. I said a few unkind words to Richie who waited patiently for me to finish my rave before telling me he had a flat tyre. He asked where the pigs now were and my reply was along the lines of “well not on the way to the abattoir, that’s for sure.” I went inside to start on dinner and, seriously, only five minutes later I hear Richie drive up with the trailer complete with pigs inside. When I asked how he was able to get them in the trailer he replied “they were already in there when I arrived at the yards.” I later apologised!

I am sorry to report that the sheep have still not been shorn due to the wet weather and we are still spending plenty of time cleaning up maggoty sheep. This is likely to continue until we get a break in the weather.

The calves are thriving and growing very quickly and I have resisted the temptation to buy any more. For now!

Glenlyon Dam is now over 102% full and a good majority of our boundary fence with the dam is well underwater. I will have to go for a swim next week and tie some plastic water bottles along the fence-line in case boaties decide to venture up to our part of the dam. It is an incredible sight though and just amazing to wake up and look out the window to see. Photos just don’t do the view justice!

Wishing everyone a good a safe week.

Lambs topped at $241 to average $182.97, par week on week Hoggets topped at $195 to average $160.67, $11 down week on week Ewes topped at $170 to average $104.38, $14 down week on week

The rain affected the yarding as vendors and agents worked to get a reasonable number for the weekly sales.

The yarding of 467 head was half of what was presented last week but the yarding had some good types in most categories.

Joey Scout experience

By William Lister On the weekend I went to another Joey Scout camp at the Den, but it was a bit short because it was only for two days and one night.

The first thing that we did was Indigenous style paintings.

There were two group: stripes and dots, and I was in the stripes group.

We got to grind up chalk to use as paint to paint my face and some rocks.

The next thing that I did was make homemade pizza.

And the stripes group got to cook first.

And then as soon as we made the pizza it was night time.

And we were cooking marshmallows and playing a game in the dark.

Then we did a bush walk and kept playing the game.

As soon as we got to bed Kanga read us a bedtime story.

The next morning we woke up and as soon as we got dressed and packed up we went on another bush walk to a river.

And then we used fishing nets to catch yabbies and the younger Joey’s used long butterfly nets.

And then Dad came to pick me up early and Dad and I went to the LNP Christmas party at lunch time.

It was a great camp and it was Possum’s last camp with the Stanthorpe Scout Group.

Thank you Possum (Ann Richardson) for everything you have done for us, we will miss you.

causing a global meltdown with them; don’t you fret about that. The only meltdown that could possibly occur is if Rudolph doesn’t get enough carrots on the journey!

I digress. Back to Superman, he and I chase the Sun and dance around the Moon, just because we can. Mrs Claus times us on each lap.

We were even going to enter the Intergalactic Games, but Superman kept getting called away to save the world. It seems there is always something going on to pull him away. His finger lights up too, so he’s a good stand-in when Rudolph is under the weather from too many carrots or drinking my eggnog. Such a naughty reindeer!

On another note, with every household drop of presents I do, I am also giving your family a complimentary bottle of Santatiser… it’s my own branded version. Mine smells far more pleasant than the sanitiser you buy in the stores. My elves have been very inventive with

the aromas; there is Frankincense, Mistletoe, Fruitcake, and eggnog for the Northern part of the world, and for you good folk down under, we have done BBQ, Bubbly, Sandcastles, and Sea Spray.

Anyway.

Back to your list this year.

I’ve been going to North Pole IT classes to try and find the fascination with the new phone you want. I still haven’t found it, but I get a lot of Christmas lists texted to me now.

Also, my Facebook and Twitter page are busy with requests, well wishes and images of your pets. It is a good thing you are getting rain now, as that was a very popular present request.

Sadly, I can’t control that, I am amazing, and magic is my middle name, but I can’t tell the clouds and weather systems what to do. Believe me, I’ve tried, but to no avail. So long as I can get through on my big night without a storm, strong winds and heavy rain; that will

be ideal. It is not a pretty sight when Dasher gets a lightning bolt tickling his tail! I will have to turn my turbo jets off if that happens, or I will have finished my present deliveries before I have started!

But remember this when you are writing out those lists…or texting them to me….

I miss the good ol’ days when you wanted books and blocks and trains or dolls and skates. There are so many good reads out there now, and you should be outdoors more. Fresh air and exercise, but slip, slop, slap and wrap and wear a mask!

But I know I must move with the times, so text me and tell me what you’re leaving out for my supper this year.

I’m gluten-free now, so I’ll text you some menu ideas!

Stay safe my friends, Yours, Santa

I think it’s time you and I had a talk.

Sure, you come and visit one of my many assistants each year when they are sitting in a big comfy chair in a mall or shopping Centre near you, but I need to have a word with you.

I’ve been in the business of delivering presents to you and yours for many, many years.

I’ve seen each new generation come along, grow and evolve. You have kept my elves busy with your ever-changing Christmas list over the years, from the cuddly stuffed toys, building blocks, train sets, dolls, books, play dough, skates, bikes, sports shoes, sailing ships for the bath, doll houses, trucks, remote control cars… (taking a breath…)

As you all grew, your wants changed. We stepped up a gear or two, maybe four, to more sophisticated things.

The elves weren’t happy about the racket that noisy muffler made for your dad’s car, and I had a job packing it in my big red Santa sack last year.

If I had a dollar for every high-tech, blue tooth-enabled gadget or phone that I see on your Christmas list each year, I’d be on a Santa Cruise somewhere. That is, when they start up again. Maybe a river cruise along the Murray …

The thing is – I’m not keeping up. Figuratively speaking, of course. We all know I am faster than a speeding bullet; as my good friend Superman, says. He and I go way back.

We do laps round the Earth, and other planets just for fun. And we can go further afield, or planet, as it were, now that I have had my mechanic install a turbo jet that would make every petrol head’s eyes water. It’s magnificent if I do say so myself. As I had accumulated several million flybys points for the number of chimneys, front yards, and doorsteps I stop at each year on the 24th of December…well of course I had to cash them in. And in case you are wondering, the emissions from my turbo jets meet all the safety standards. I won’t be

Farewell to class of 2021

By The School of Total Education The School of Total Education in Warwick held its annual Graduation on Sunday 21st November, farewelling its eight graduating students in a wonderful afternoon ceremony which was attended by Southern Downs Mayor,

Vic Pennisi. Guest speakers at the event were past students Chris Thornton (2009) and Ruby Doolan (2013) who delivered very genuine and insightful presentations to the students and parents in an authentic and personal style.

Encouragement to maintain a good work life

balance, to take opportunities as they present themselves and to try and find where your passion lies were all parts f the advice given by the two presenters. The graduating students followed with their own speeches, expressing warm thanks to teachers, parents and friends

for their rich and varied learning journeys. A strong sense of connection and readiness to enter ‘the real world’ was conveyed by the conclusion of the students’ speeches. A celebratory afternoon tea for parents, teachers and friends concluded the afternoon.

After all the years and effort, its graduation glamour

By St Joseph’s School Stanthorpe Year 12 is bittersweet. There’s stress, late nights and a lot of cramming. But there are also those highly anticipated events like the final athletics carnival, school formal and graduation. On Thursday 18th November, 13 Year 12 students from St Joseph’s School Stanthorpe stepped out of the classroom and on to the red carpet, to celebrate their graduation in a formal affair held at the Bathersby Centre.

Dressed to impress, and with a celebratory tone, the proceedings moved seamlessly from Mass conducted by Fr Gonzo and Deacon Brian at St Joseph’s Catholic Church to a banquet-style dinner catered

by Anna’s Restaurant, where students, staff and families could enjoy the evening.

Year 12 Valedictorian, Eric Richards, reflected on the tumultuous circumstances presented to this year’s Seniors through the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, praised his fellow Year 12 students for their resilience, and spoke of the value of friendship and connection between students and staff as the key to success in overcoming adversity.

The evening provided a wonderful opportunity for this year’s graduates to reflect and celebrate their educational journey as individuals, as a community and, most of all, as friends; united together as they graduate, and each preparing to embark on their new chapter of post-school life.

St Joseph’s School would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those involved in making this year’s graduation such a tremendous success, and to wish our Year 12 graduates the best success and luck for the future.

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

Purple haze, the back story

By Dominique Tassell On Remembrance Day (November 11), we met a Year 12 student who had been singing in our community choir but had taken time out to concentrate on her studies. She told us (with some excitement), that school was set to finish the following week. That reminded me of the old Queensland maxim about flowering jacarandas and exam times. The story goes that if the jacarandas are flowering and you are behind on your studies, it is too late!

That may have changed over the decades, as climate change has led to earlier flowering, not only of jacarandas, but cherry blossoms (more on that later).

When I visited Brisbane in late September, the jacarandas were already starting to bloom.

They flower later across the Southern Downs, as we know, but even so, this old jacaranda in the grounds of St Mark’s Anglican Church (above) was starting to lose its blossoms as I took this photo on November 9.

Warwick has some lovely mature examples of this tree, many of them in the yards of private homes. In some towns and cities (Grafton, Toowoomba, Brisbane, Sydney’s north shore), jacarandas were planted on either side of city streets, to create a stunning, if ephemeral display from mid-October to mid-November.

Jacaranda is the name for a genus of 49 species of flowering plants in the family Bignoniaceae, native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas. Wikipedia describes it as a ‘cosmopolitan’ plant.

It is common across many continents and countries including Argentina, Botswana, Brazil, Florida, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Paraguay, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Southern California, Spain, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The jacaranda has been introduced to most tropical and subtropical regions and is widely planted in Asia.

Australian towns and cities compete for status of champion jacaranda; examples including Grafton, Brisbane, Toowoomba, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth (although not until December in WA).

Apart from the obvious connection with school and university exam times, the jacaranda’s purple haze is the first real sign of Spring.

When at their peak, the showy trees are hard to beat for a visual spectacle. Unfortunately, the triumph is short-lived; with storms, rain and wind soon littering the ground with purple flowers. As staff in hospital emergency rooms would attest, ‘slipped on wet jacaranda flowers’ is a common refrain when patients present at the fracture clinic.

Although I set out to write a ‘light and fluffy’ piece, it did not take much to uncover the climate science take on this. An article in The Conversation and republished in other journals similarly observed the early flowering of jacarandas in South Africa.

Jennifer Fitchett, Associate Professor of Physical Geography, University of the Witwatersrand, explained why early flowering

of Jacaranda mimosifolia is a ‘warning sign’.

Gauteng Province’s proliferating jacarandas have in recent years started flowering in early September. Octogenarian residents interviewed by researchers recalled the trees flowering in mid-November in the 1920s and 30s.

The trees, native to Brazil, were introduced to Pretoria and Johannesburg in the late 1800s.

Civic leaders of the time deemed them an ornamental worthy of lining streets in the suburbs and CBD. Professor Fitchett wrote that jacaranda flowering had gradually advanced over the decades to mid-October and now to September. She described this process as ‘phenological shift’, which has been observed in multiple flowering tree species around the world. The earlier flowering is a key indicator that the planet is warming.

Prof Fitchett initiated the first known phenological shift study done in South Africa, singling out the jacaranda.

“Because jacaranda blossoms result in such a dramatic change in the urban landscape each year, they are often reported on in the news and, more recently, in social media posts,” she said.

“We mined these sources to compile a list of flowering dates of jacaranda trees spanning 1927-2019.”

These records allowed researchers to confirm the advance in flowering dates, quantifying a mean rate of advance of 2.1 days per decade.

The flowering took place against a backdrop of warming temperatures, ranging from 0.10.2°C per decade (daily maximums) and a more rapid 0.2-0.4°C per decade for daily minimums. phys.org/news/2021-07-jacarandas-southafrica-earlier.html Japan’s world-famous tourist attraction,

cherry blossom season, has been under threat in 2020 and 2021. Covid restrictions meant that international tourists keen to witness the ‘sakura’ were unable to travel.. The data suggests the peak blooming date in Kyoto has been gradually moving from mid-April to the beginning of the month.

The Japanese have been studying phenological change for centuries, so they have a better handle on it than most. Cherry blossom flowerings last only a few weeks. They have been occurring earlier and earlier in recent decades.

The ABC reported in April this year that the famous cherry blossoms in Kyoto, Japan, peaked on March 26, the earliest date in 1,200 years, according to data compiled by Osaka University. Records that date back to 812 AD in imperial court documents and diaries show that the previous record was set in 1409, when the cherry blossom season reached its peak on March 27.

Kyoto experienced an unusually warm spring this season. The average temperature for March in Kyoto has climbed from 47.5 degrees Fahrenheit in 1953 to 51.1 degrees Fahrenheit in 2020. Japan’s national newspaper Mainichi reported that despite diminished human activity stemming from the Covid-19 pandemic, carbon dioxide levels in surrounding areas did not decrease. a b c n e w s . g o. c o m / I n t e r n a t i o n a l / j a pans-cherry-blossoms-hit-earliest-peak1200-years/story?id=76789632 As for the local jacarandas, go out into the suburbs with your camera or phone and capture those luscious jacaranda blossoms while they last.

The busy season for bees This morning, since the rain, many bees were busy on the lavender bushes in my garden.

They are an amazing insect and so vital to every aspect of our food production and life.

Albert Einstein is reported to have said that if bees died, out human life on this planet would cease in 4 years.

They are the only insect that produces food eaten by man, and this is the only insect-created food, and has therapeutic, medicinal, nutritional and cosmetic value.

It is the only food that contains everything necessary for life. It contains necessary enzymes, minerals, vitamins and water and also an antioxidant called “pinocembrin” that is found in no other food and is associated with improved brain function.

“Unique among all God’s creatures, only the honey bee improves the environment and preys not on other species” Royden Brown.

Each hive has its own unique smell so that the bees can identify it. Their sense of smell is so acute that they can differentiate hundreds of different flower scents and also tell if the particular flower carries pollen or nectar from metres away. A bee visits between 50 and 100 flowers per collection trip from the hive. They have 170 odour receptors whereas mosquitoes have 79 and fruit flies only 62. Try as I might, I can’t find a reason for the existence of either of these pests!

A bee’s wings stroke about 200 beats per second and this is what makes the buzzing

sound associated with them. They can fly at up to 15 miles per hour and as far as 6 miles in their quest for pollen.

An average worker bee will only produce 1/2 of a teaspoon of honey in her life span of 122 to 152 days. A hive of bees will fly approximately 90,000 miles to produce 1 kg of honey.

This is the equivalent of 3 times around the world. It takes 28gms of honey to fuel one bee’s flight around the world. So when you enjoy that honey in your tea or on your toast, it may only be a teaspoon of sweetness for you, but for a bee, it is more than a lifetime of work!!

The worker bees also produce the beeswax to form the hive and 6 to 8 lbs of honey is ingested to produce 1lb of beeswax. While it has been proposed since 36BC that honeycomb was the most practical structure around, it has now become the content of a 19-page mathematical thesis by Thomas Hales proving that, of all possible structures, honeycomb uses the least amount of wax. Honeycomb is the most

ly as productive as the regular honey bee and have a much shorter life span.

The tiny native bees and the blue striped bees that I see in my garden are at the other end of the size spectrum and a delight to watch as they zoom around.

Unfortunately, our bee population is on the decline because of the use of pesticides and the fact that gardeners do not now grow as many flowers as previously! With the size of house blocks declining and the fact that, because of work commitments, people have less time to spend in gardens and also because of the trend to easy-care, architectural gardens, urban spaces are becoming less attractive to these busy creatures.

While it’s not a problem at the moment with all the wonderful rain we’ve had, remember to have water sources for them as the weather heats up. If you see a swarm, don’t worry and don’t panic!. They are just shifting home and will relocate within about 24 hours. If you want to be really kind to them, fill a shallow container with a sugar-water solution so they can replenish their energy and move on.

So be kind to our bees, they are among the most important creatures on earth. They pollinate over 80% of all flowering plants including 70 of the top 100 human food crops.

1 in 3 bites of food eaten by humans are from plants pollinated by bees. Plant things that are attractive to them and be careful using sprays and chemicals that may harm them because just maybe, Einstein was right!

efficient structure in nature and the walls meet at a precise 120-degree angle producing a perfect hexagon.

The bee’s brain is oval and about the same size as a sesame seed. It has, in this tiny space, a remarkable capacity to learn and make complex calculations retime and distance travelled when foraging. They are also capable of transferring this information to the other bees in the hive.

Bees use the sun as a compass but on cloudy days have a backup plan. They are able to navigate by polarised light using special photoreceptors to locate the sun’s place in the sky. And all this is in a brain the size of a sesame seed?!

A hive usually consists of between 20,000 and 60,000 workers, all female!, and 1 queen.

While the workers only live less than 6 months in the cooler weather and about 6 weeks in the busy time, literally working themselves to death, the queen can live up to 5 years. Her sole role is to fill the hive with eggs. She can lay up to 2,500 eggs per day. Each hive contains some male bees, drones, larger than the workers and with no stinger and whose only purpose is to mate with the queen. During the winter the bees survive on the honey they have stored during the summer and form tight clusters in cold weather to keep themselves and the queen warm. It is not uncommon as winter approaches and food becomes scarce, for the worker bees to force the drones from the hive!

The Spin Weather threatens Ashes The countdown to the Gabba is well and truly on and the curator must be having nightmares every time he hears a weather report.

Organizers will also be anxious with the first day (next Wednesday, 8 December) already a sell-out and numbers for the remainder of the Test, the best for years.

Pat Cummins and Steve Smith have been officially given the nod as Captain and ViceCaptain after some serious interview sessions with Cricket Australia.

It is an amazing story of redemption for Steve Smith following his axing from the top job after the Sandpaper-gate although not everyone will be happy about his selection.

The appointment of Cummins begins a unique era in Australian cricket with no fast bowler captaining the side other a one-off cameo, from the great Ray Lindwall in 1956. A long time between drinks.

Cummins’ appointment has been endorsed by fast bowling great Dennis Lillee and one of Australia’s greatest captains Steve Waugh.

After sandpaper-gate and the Tim Paine imbroglio Cricket Australia, the team and fans will be hoping for some clean air. A winning series against the Poms who have their own scandals to deal with, will fix everything.

In the meantime, Tim Paine has stepped away from all forms of cricket for the time being and his keeper’s position is up for grabs.

Front runners are Alex Carey and 26-year-old English born Aussie Josh Inglis who plays for WA .

Carey is the better batsman of the pair, but many think the gloves should be thrown to Inglis who is regarded as the best at his craft after Tim Paine.

Unfortunately, I cannot be at the game but there are no points for guessing where you’ll find me next week. – parked in front of the TV, eyes on every ball.

I can’t wait and perhaps the Test will push the NRL off the lead sporting news. With a season of Test cricket ahead of us and months till the start of the 2022 NRL season I am fed up with reading who will be playing where not in 2022 but 2023 – give me a break.

Now where’s that TV remote.

BOSSY REINS IN CAREER Last week Jockey Glen Boss announced he would hang up his boots and saddle following his ride on Spanish Mission in the group two Zipping Classic on Saturday at Caulfield.

Starting a very short priced favourite, Boss gave Spanish Mission every chance before the gallopers Melbourne Cup campaign caught up with him and he finished fourth.

Despite being denied the fairytale end to an illustrious career, the 52-year-old hoop, who is already a member of the Racing Hall Fame, was never going to quietly slip off into retirement. His riding cohort formed a guard of honour for Boss after he and Spanish Mission completed a parade of honour in the mounting yard following the race and then the fun began.

Always crowd favourite, Bossy flung goggles, skull cap and other pieces of his gear into the crowd. Spanish Mission’s colours were the next to go (think the owners can afford a new set after recently purchasing the European invader after running fourth in the Melbourne Cup). The colours were followed by his riding boots followed by his socks. Stewards, broadcasters and the press had fingers crossed we were not in for a total striptease. Though it would have been no surprise.

Boss retires with a magnificent record having won around 2400 races including 90 Group One races in Australia and six in Honk Kong.

His career like many other Queensland riders of his generation had humble beginnings at the Gympie racetrack in 1986.

In a nod to what was to come, Boss was successful at his first ride. After slaying them on 28 TODAY Thursday, 2 December, 2021

Glen Boss - thanks for the memories G Boss - So happy to have been at Moonee Valley to see you win on the Cox Plate on So you Think and again when you partnered Ocean Park. bush tracks, he moved firstly to the Gold Coast to finish his apprenticeship then to Brisbane.

Successful stints riding in Sydney, Melbourne and in Hong Kong followed. Along with outstanding success came some significant injuries including a broken back in 2002 after an incident in Macau which could have ended in tragic circumstances.

As recently as May the champion hoop was sidelined after surgery on his knee.

While it was three times a charm for Bossy when he combined to win three consecutive Melbourne Cups partnering Makybe Diva, life has not always been a bed of roses. In recent times Boss has been open and forthcoming outlining his battles with mental health and his demons. By sharing that journey, he has undoubtedly helped show others there is a way out of that darkness.

His retirement comes after he admitted to himself that he was no longer 100% invested in his craft although you would have never known it from his ride on Saturday giving Spanish Mission every chance.

Over a career that spanned 36 years with many ups and downs there has been sensational success. Apart from his Melbourne Cup three-pete his impressive record includes four Cox Plates and most other major Group Ones races including a record seven Doncaster handicaps. He also added an Everest win to his resume but the one race missing will remain the Caulfield Cup. While Boss rubbed shoulders with the rich and famous and some of the world’s leading trainers, he has always found time for the punters as he showed on Saturday.

When he left the jockey’s room for the last time on Saturday, his mounts had amassed an amazing $180 million in prizemoney.

Not bad for a skinny kid from Caboolture who started with the dream and the belief that he would make it to the top.

Bossy we salute you and look forward to what you bring to the table in your new role as an expert commentator with Ladbrokes. It certainly won’t be dull.

G Boss was not the only hoop with retirement on his radar. Newcastle rider Robert

Thompson has also pulled the pin on his career. At 63 the popular rider has called time on a career that has seen him clock up more winners than any other rider in Australia. His tally 4447. Thompson estimates he has ridden in more than 30,000 races. Thompson, who chose to remain in Newcastle despite many offers to move to Sydney, said earlier in the week he has had his time in the sun and after 49 year has had enough of travel and wasting for light rides. Thompson is a legend in Newcastle and NSW racing.

The riding ranks are poorer following the retirement of two brilliant exponents of their craft.

WEATHER SCUTTLES LOCAL SPORT Many Cricket pitches and golf courses and croquet courts across the Southern Downs resembled wading pools for much of last week and as a result many fixtures and games were cancelled.

In Warwick, local cricket fixtures were washed out as well as the first game of the Mitchell shield.

Club officials in Warwick are still exploring options for a date to replay the Round Six fixtures which have now been skuttled by wet weather twice. While it is understood the postponed Rep games will be played on the weekend of 9 January.

This weekend, weather permitting, Round Eight of the Warwick Fixtures. On Saturday, The Redbacks and Sovereign will play at Slade and Vic Hill and Allora will be in action at Allora.

On Sunday Colts and Maryvale will go head to head at Slade. Wheatvale have the bye this weekend.

The proposed Free training clinic for Junior players, which was to be run by the Brisbane based Wanderers’ Cricket club Friday, was another event scuttled by the weather. A new date for this event will be released in coming weeks.

Stanthorpe cricket fixtures suffered a similar fate at the weekend. The only thing on the fields other than water were ducks.

As a result, this weekend (4 Dec) if play is possible – fixtures will be Day two of the two

day game postponed at the weekend. The game will get underway earlier than normal (12.15) with a minimum of 82 overs to be bowled in the game. Fingers crossed for better conditions.

Junior cricket was also disrupted across the region however a small group of juniors were spotted taking advantage of a break in the weather to get in some training in the Stanthorpe nets.

Stanthorpe’s first Mitchell shield game against Lockyer was also cancelled.

Warwick and Stanthorpe Mallet players were also confined to quarters over the past week with courts unplayable due to the conditions. Everyone will be hoping for a change or pause at least in conditions to allow them back on court sometime this week.

RUGBY SEVENS STAR BACK TO BEST After being dogged by injury, Rugby Seven’s star Charlotte Caslick returned to her best form in the Dubai Sevens tournament at the weekend as the Australian women’s team dominated winning all five of their matches.

After the win Caslick this week told us, “It was good to win our first tournament since Sydney in January 2018, but it was also bittersweet, showing where we should have been in Tokyo.

We beat the silver and bronze Medalists here.”

She went on to say there are bigger challenges ahead but believes there is also a lot of improvement and growth in this squad as they continue to develop their combinations.

Looking back on the game Charlotte said, “I think our big improvement at this tournament, was our improved off-loading game. “We were too passive in defence. Good teams like France and Fiji can punish that, so it is something we need to work on.”

Caslick was back to her dynamic best and was named Player of Final however she sees room for improvement and her assessment heralds a warning to other teams. The Australian team scored a total of 163 points and conceded only 39 tries in the tournament.

“We’ve been working really hard since Tokyo. We were really disappointed with our results there,” Caslick said.

Casey O’Connor The Australians took a new-look young side to Dubai and were well led by their senior players Demi Hayes and Caslick.

This weekend the Rugby Sevens HBSC SERIES goes to another level. After playing behind closed doors this past weekend and throughout Covid, Caslick said 100,000 people are expected through the gates for the next round of the HBSC Sevens in Dubai this weekend.

She said, “The atmosphere and support is amazing here. “Everyone back home can watch us free through the World Rugby streaming service on YouTube and Facebook”.

The girls play their first game against Spain, on Friday (Aust time) kicking off at 3.22pm.

It will be the final outing for the Sevens in 2021 before the HBSC Rugby Sevens caravan moves on to Malaga, Spain late in January but hopefully not before some down time at home with family, fiancee Lewis Holland and her cattle on their Stanthorpe property.

WHY ON A THURSDAY Why is it so – that is what the members of the Warwick East Bowls club have been asking. Why does it always rain on Thursdays?

This past week once again inclement weather interfered with the scheduled bowls. Both monthly pairs and last week’s night bowls cancelled.

There was better news for bowlers on Saturday as the semi-finals of the club-selected fours competition was able to be played. Matt Shepherd, Peter Collis, Dan Hughes and Paul Beaman has a comfortable 26-15 win over Chris Lawler, Peter Ridgewell, Dave Smith, Gordon Assay. Ed Diery, Steve Ford, Norm Hassum and Sid Morris proved to strong scoring a 22-18 win. Next Saturday the winners, Matt Shepherd, Peter Collis, Dan Hughes and Paul Beaman will play Ed Diery, Steve Ford, Norm Hassum and Sid Morris in the final. The final will be played on Saturday, at 1pm. While the semi-finals were underway there also three games of social triples being played.

All eyes will be on the forecast, fingers crossed that today, weather permitting, the club will be able to hold their monthly triples due to get underway at 10am. That of course should be followed by night bowls at 6.30 pm.

Submit your name or your team names by phoning the club on 4661 9050 by 6pm. The game will be followed by a sausage sizzle.

There will be the usual mixed social bowls this Saturday. Play starts at 1pm, with names to be in by 12.30. Players will be chasing the usual trophies plus a chance to take out the jackpot on offer.

SCHOOL’S IN ON THE GREEN Saturday Night, Social Mixed Bowls went ahead without rain for a change. The volunteers green which ran well, despite the recent downpours certainly earned an “A” plus and gold stars.

There were six enthusiastic teams played pairs teams and it was Geoff Davis and Penny who earned the highest grade after two games; however Val Gray (taxi-man) and Mark Dangerfield (limo-man) had their names pulled out of the hat for a prize. Thanks to Mark’s son, Bradyn also played well after receiving a late call up to even up the numbers.

No bowls have been scheduled for today, (Thursday, 2 December). Following their Committee Meeting this morning, the ladies are having Lunch at the Criterion Hotel. Gentlemen are invited to attend also. Contact Cheryl on 0407 641 158 if you wish are planning to attend.

There are Free bowls to use if required and coaching is available at no charge. You can also enjoy a sausage sizzle (cost $10).

GREAT ROUND FOR WINNER ANNA COX Wednesday (24 November) was the final chance for the members of the Warwick ladies golf club to pick up points for the Shootout and was also the midweek Medal of Medallist round.

Anna Cox had a great round in sometimes difficult conditions returning 73 nett to win Division One. On one back on 74 nett was runner up Janine Stewart who also had a great round.

Balls in the run down went to Mary Young (74), Gwen Mills (75), Anne Lyons (76) and Margie Adcock (77). Results for the remainder of the field in this division were Tub Ingall and Judy Lester (78), Jill Barnes (80) and Annice Payne 89.

In other news the semi-final of the Club Selected Fours was played and congratulations to Trish Owens, Darryl Phillips, Jim Rickard and Bing Hansen (Skip Max Holder was unavailable to play). In a closes game they scored a 24-22 win over Kay Bloomfield, Ozzie McPaul, Ken Hayes and Craig Thurgate. Bing Hansen’s team led on the third end but Craig ‘s team fought back managing to remain in front until the 18th end. Their opponents hit back scoring six points and went to a 21-18 lead.

At the 20th end scores were 22all and it was anyone’s game. Hansen’s team scored two on the next end after a piece of magic from their skip to nail the win. Congratulations to both teams, it was an entertaining Match, played in the right spirit.

The final between the team of Trish, Darryl, Bing and Max Holder and Ann Whitfield, Pat

Seipelt, Denis Sterling and Edwin Welsh was scheduled to be played last Saturday however the wet weather forced the cancellation of the game. Players should check with their Skips for the new date of the game.

The weather also forced the cancellation of the Bing Hansen sponsored bowls last Wednesday night.

FEAST FAMINE OR FLOOD It is so ironic that this time last year trucks were carting water into Stanthorpe and in recent weeks there are plenty of sporting organisations and some others who would welcome those trucks back to take some of the stuff away. Of course, as is always the way it is either a feast famine or flood and while the recent weather has been great for some and an inconvenience for others, it will no doubt benefit the areas long term.

Rod Newlands and Paul Zamprogno played Steve Jolly and Adrian Jackson in a game of Social three Bowl pairs and scored a 28-8 win.

Pam Moore, John Graham and Jamie Zamprogno had a 14-12 win over Brian Brown, Michael Surch and Brian Wilmot in the Social Triples game. On the previous evening the club hosted a Christmas Themed Dinner for 100 people. The evening was a great success. Th big crowd enjoyed delicious meals quite a few raffles and Christmas Music provided by Tom Hodgson.

The Summit Bowls Club Annual General Meeting was recently, and Frank Taylor takes the helm as Club President. Alex Mattiazzi will fill the Vice President’s role, Maree Ball the Secretary and Peter Balmer as the Treasurer.

Congratulations to all who put their hand up to take on these important positions.

Upcoming Program: Sat, 11 Dec - Christmas Party - Bowls at 1pm and Party at 3pm Sat, 18 Dec - Trophy Afternoon Tue, 21Dec - Turkey Triples

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk visited town last week to announce a significant investment in “drought-proofing” Warwick and Stanthorpe.

Early works on the proposed Toowoomba to Warwick pipeline will commence shortly and the state government will begin building the project’s business case, which should identify the most appropriate means of transporting water to Stanthorpe.

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.
