In 2021 there was a net loss of $1.9m, compared to a profit of $1.7m in 2020.

The report also states that assets are down from $1.4m last year to $880k this year.

The report shows a net refund of $46,260 to irrigators, which may be due to withdrawals of investors from the scheme.

Based on the net receipts for the prior year of $244k, this would represent a net withdrawal of around 20 per cent.

GBIP has not responded to questions regarding this, or questions regarding the nature of decisions the project is waiting on the government to make and whether GBIP is seeking extra funding from the government.

The statement does not provide figures for how much has been spent on the valuation

of land for the project, as reportedly in some cases this was done twice, or how much has been spent on legal fees for negotiating with landholders.

The report gives a figure of $18,274 for a lease agreement, but GBIP has not confirmed if this is the cost of renting their Maryland Street office.

CASEY O’CONNOR - spinsft@gmail.com

This week has been an interesting one as a journalist.

With so many highlights to choose from, my favourite was probably standing out in the rain, under a local’s tarp, waiting for the Leslie Dam floodgates to open.

They did not, by the way. At least not while the majority of the massive group of people who’d come out to see it were there.

Another highlight was seeing the Christmas spirit in Allora.

Seeing everyone dressed up in festive attire really was a sight to see, and that kind of community spirit is something that I hold incredibly dear to my heart.

Some of our other, more serious, stories have also proved quite interesting.

The back and forth over requested comments from the Granite Belt Irrigations Project has been...interesting.

To be frank, GBIP would not talk to us even before they knew what our initial article was about.

I attempted to call to give them a heads up and organise an interview, and was promptly shut down.

I sat waiting by a phone that never rang, and was told I should send through questions via email.

And then they found out what the article was actually about.

GBIP stated they could not respond to our questions due to required government approvals, however did send through a statement late last week that has not been shared publicly elsewhere.

A statement that seemingly answers our questions in a roundabout way with a touch of spin.

Seems to me that maybe it’s more about controlling the message than anything else.

I guess they don’t trust me to polish off their quotes of my own volition.

Due to print deadlines, the meeting regarding the impending mandate could not make it into this week’s paper.

However, through the power of the internet, future me (past me?) will have that coverage posted online and shared to our Facebook for you to read.

We will include that coverage in next week’s edition, so please feel free to send in any thoughts you have on that for us to include.

Lachlan’s honour

New AA group here

By Emily-Rose Toohey Recent high school graduate Lachlan Wilson was awarded the Term 3 Volunteer Queensland Student award last month.

His volunteer work with the Karara Rural Fire Service earned him the recognition – an inspiring feat born from his motivation to help the Southern Downs region.

Lachlan’s mother Kerry Wilson was moved by his achievement and dedication to his work.

“I’m extremely proud; he’s done extremely well,” Ms Wilson said.

Lachlan’s journey with the fire brigade began at age 16 as a second generation firefighter in response to the 2019/2020 bushfire devastation.

Alongside his father and brother, Lachlan’s placement as a junior member taught him how to fight bushfires, use fire truck and safety equipment, and undertake professional industry training.

Karara Rural Fire Service First Officer Ian Clark said that Lachlan was a first responder to several incidents over the course of his membership.

“He gained a good groundwork in response and emergency,” First Officer Clark said.

“We’re really proud to have helped him through training and mentorship – this is the culture at Karara.”

Through this mentorship, Lachlan has emerged from his junior membership as a fully trained firefighter.

First Officer Clark said that this 16- to 18-year-old membership is a great way for young people to help the community, as the fire service covers a wide scope of incidents, not just bushfires.

Lachlan’s hard work and continued contributions as a member of the Karara Rural Fire Service were – and still are – in service of the wider community.

The now 18-year-old completed his secondary schooling last week after graduating from Warwick State High School.

Solar heating ‘of concern’ at WIRAC

By Dominique Tassell Warwick Indoor Recreation and Aquatic Centre’s (WIRAC) report was received at the recent Southern Downs Regional Council Ordinary Meeting on 17 November.

As part of the requirements of the contract between SDRC and the Brisbane YMCA for the management of WIRAC, there is an obligation that the Brisbane YMCA supply monthly reports relating to the operations of the facility.

The report, for the month of October, details the visitation numbers to the facility, the capital works undertaken at the facility and the types of programs delivered on behalf of the Southern Downs Regional Council.

The report showed total visits in October of 13,010, compared to 14,859 in October last year.

Total visits for the year are currently at 110,027, while last year they reported 78,437 visits by the end of October.

Warwick Indoor Recreation and Aquatic Centre’s (WIRAC) report was received at the recent Southern Downs Regional Council Ordinary Meeting on 17 November.

The report states that the hydro pool chemical dosing system is still an issue, and they are looking at what the best options are to fix this.

The yearly solar panel inspection found “several areas that are of concern”, according

to the report.

“The solar matting is very brittle and there are a multitude of leaks, which have also caused the roof to rust in spots,” the report states.

“In (Australian Energy Systems)’ opinion the solar pool heating system is at the end of its life and they suggest Council considers a new system.”

The report states that there is another future works to consider, and these details will be SDRC as soon as possible.

Previous reports received by SDRC reported that work on the reception at WIRAC required an extra $65,000 in funding as it was over budget.

The report prior to that stated that WIRAC facilities needed a large number of upgrades, stating the centre is “past its use-by date”.

The motion was moved by Councillor Marco Gliori and seconded by Councillor Cameron Gow.

A new Alcoholics Anonymous group has started up this week, for women only.

While the group was supposed to start on Wednesday 1 December, wet weather delayed this.

The group will run from 1 pm to 2:30 pm, and anyone interested can contact Gillian on 0410 768 959.

Gillian says attendees “don’t even need to think that they have a problem” as the group is very welcoming and informative.

She says the wonderful thing about AA is that no one labels anyone and it’s up to the individual.

She says some people attend the group and never feel comfortable labelling themselves, but the purpose of the group is just to help each other.

Gillian says there are really no criteria but a desire to stop drinking, even if this is binge-drinking once a month or having a nightly drink.

She says for her personally, “I found that there is a lot of healing being around women”.

She says in AA “it’s an absolute requirement to be honest”, and for women being honest and talking about real life topics is incredibly healing.

There are no limits on how many people can attend, and Gillian emphasises that the group is very supportive and more than welcoming.

“When people walk into the room, they’re not alone,” she says. “Everyone belongs.”

Gillian says it’s important for people to break the stigma around drinking, especially in a culture like Australia’s where it’s almost unheard of to not drink.

She says if alcoholism is present in your life and you don’t want it to be, reach out to attend a meeting.

“You don’t need to be at rock bottom, you can just be sick and tired of being sick and tired.”

Financial report sheds light

By Dominique Tassell Granite Belt Irrigation Project (GBIP) lodged its financial report last week, giving insight into the current state of the project.

The report shows that GBIP spent $66,882 on “advertising and promotion”, $41,818 on “corporate legal expenses”, $81,500 on “corporate secretarial expenses”, and $213,700 on “finance services and finance advisory”.

They also spent $32,951 on “insurance”, $210, 932 on “management advisory services”, $210,000 on “strategic advisory”, $134,078 on “other expenses”, and $39,114 on “travel”.

In 2021 there was a net loss of $1.9m, compared to a profit of $1.7m in 2020.

The report also states that assets are down from $1.4m last year to $880k this year.

The report shows a net refund of $46,260 to irrigators, which may be due to withdrawals of investors from the scheme.

Based on the net receipts for the prior year of $244k, this would represent a net withdrawal of around 20 per cent.

GBIP has not responded to questions regarding this, or questions regarding the nature of decisions the project is waiting on the government to make and whether GBIP is seeking extra funding from the government.

The statement does not provide figures for how much has been spent on the valuation of land for the project, as reportedly in some cases this was done twice, or how much has been spent on legal fees for negotiating with landholders.

The report gives a figure of $18,274 for a lease agreement, but GBIP has not confirmed if this is the cost of renting their Maryland Street office.

The report also does not state what individuals involved in the project are earning for their work.

The company has prepared its financial statements not on a going concern basis, stating this is due to uncertainty regarding the future timing of the project.

Acting Prime Minister and National Leader Michael McCormack, Federal Maranoa MP David Littleproud, members of the Stanthorpe and Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce and Southern Downs MP James Lister at the government’s funding announcement on Emu Swamp Dam.

Landholders involved in the project, such as Martin and Jacqui Heppleston, have previously come forward criticising GBIP’s conduct.

The directors are confident of solvency until February 2022, although they are “reducing project activity and minimising expenditure to maintain liquidity”.

The report referenced “uncertainty of future funding” and says that “the timing and outcome of the project progressing to construction is unknown”.

It also states that “no forecast can be made beyond February 2022 at this stage”.

Locals have also raised concerns about the project, questioning why the government is so involved in the project.

One local questioned how the project can possibly say they have reached agreements with 96 per cent of affected landholders, stating that according to their calculations they believe less than half have reached agreements.

“They need to provide accurate information about the landholders directly affected by the dam - those who stand to lose their homes - not just anyone who might have a pipe running through their property with minimal disruption.”

They questioned what GBIP means by an agreement, as it could be used very vaguely.

“It seems to me that they just want to use ri-

ing the community funded bikeway and Stalling Lane access has always been in the Project’s scope as has the inclusion of solar power to move/pump water”.

Mr Taylor also references the recent rain, stating that gauges have demonstrated that “based on the dam’s storage of 12,000ML, the dam would have filled 8.7 times, which is effectively 27 years’ worth of water if the entire annual water allocation 3,900ML was used”.

One local raised concerns that recent rain, and full dams across the region, may draw attention away from the dam needing to be built.

On the other hand, they stated that governments had invested so much money that they may want to see it through “so they have something to show for all that money”.

When questioned about the project, Southern Downs Regional Council CEO Dave Burges said SDRC is still supportive of the project.

He also stated that the delay regarding government funding may simply be due to KPIs not being met, one of which would be assumed to be an agreement with all affected landholders.

GBIP has not responded to questions regarding this.

GBIP recently released a statement regarding a “Go/Stop/ Pause decision point”, which has raised questions from locals.

They stated the pause will allow discussions to be held with the Australian and Queensland goverments on the project’s design, costings and approvals.

Locals have questioned what exactly this means, and how long this pause will last.

In our previous article, Jacqui and Martin Heppleston said they don’t feel they can buy another property to move to, because even if a deal was made GBIP would be able to “pause” the project for two years with next to no notice.

Another local questioned whether this meant landholders’ lives will be on pause for another decade while those behind the project “scratch their heads under their hats to come up with more lies to help them squeeze more money from the government, more deposits from farmers, and more blood out of the granite”.

In GBIP’s statement, Mr Taylor states that “the local area’s water security, drought resistance and climate adaption remain at the heart of this Project, and we will always be as transparent as possible with the Southern Downs community, while we deliver this important work”.

diculous figures to mislead the community and the government,” they said. “So much for honesty and transparency!”

This newspaper did request how this figure was calculated, and what GBIP defines as an affected landholder, but has not received a response.

Locals have previously come forward to criticise GBIP’s conduct when acquiring land for the project, stating that GBIP changed from wanting agreed upon amounts of land to stating they wanted whole properties and would not negotiate anything else.

Four landholders involved in the project have reportedly been told by GBIP that the project now wants to purchase their entire properties as opposed to the previously agreed upon sections of land.

GBIP has not responded to individual questions sent through by this newspaper, however, did send through a statement from Lloyd Taylor for us to quote.

In the statement, he says “I would like to acknowledge the patience and understanding of landholders who recognise the complexities of a significant infrastructure project like this, especially as delivery moves closer”.

The statement once more quotes the figure of 96 per cent of affected landholders reaching agreements with GBIP. In the statement, Mr Taylor states that “negotiations continue with a small number of participating landholders, however, we have undertaken and finalised commercial negotiations with most impacted landholders and their legal representatives”.

He states that “the land being procured will either be used for the dam inundation area, as a water quality buffer zone, or as environmental offsets”.

“Land used for environmental offset will be managed by the Queensland Government and will create new, or recovered, habitat connectivity from land surrounding the dam and pipeline sites, resulting in a net gain in the flora and fauna habitat in the area.”

Environmental offset for the project was reportedly originally going to be scattered around the region, with questions about why the project decided to change tactics late last year left unanswered.

Locals have previously questioned why the project involves building bike paths and solar panels on land acquired for the building of a dam.

In his statement, Mr Taylor said that “restor-

Good news for ‘bubble’

Emily-Rose Toohey.

Meet our new reporter Emily-Rose writes...

“I have always had a passion for writing.

The problem was figuring out what to do with this love.

Fortunately, it came to me as I was completing my last year of high school.

My love for the arts and humanities subjects encouraged me to pursue a Bachelor of Communication and Media at the University of Southern Queensland.

I majored in both journalism and public relations, but quickly realised my true interest was the former.

Until I started my degree, I was unsure whether this profession was right for me.

After practical university experience, an in-

ternship, and a realisation of the endless opportunities journalism offers, I discovered it was exactly what I was looking for.

It not only appealed to my writing interest, but offered the chance to speak with interesting people about stories that matter.

Storytelling has played a huge part in my life.

Whether it be poring over fantasy novels as a child or watching and analysing hours of film and television, I wholeheartedly enjoy engaging with meaningful content.

Warwick Today and Stanthorpe Today strive to report and tell necessary stories for the Southern Downs region.

Providing regional news and informative content for the people of this community is important to me – I am excited to get started.

Although I was born and raised in Toowoomba, this part of the world is not so far away from my home town.

While leaving the familiarity of the Garden City is slightly intimidating, I am keen to explore and learn from the places that will likely become my new home.

I look forward to getting to know the people of Warwick, Stanthorpe and the greater Southern Downs community as I write for the local newspaper.”

to travel for the limited reasons that exist now.

If border residents venture past the border bubble in New South Wales, they will need to return a negative Covid-19 test prior to travelling over the border.

If residents travel to restricted areas within the bubble, which at the time of print only includes Moree Plains Shire, separate requirements will apply.

The Premier said Queensland’s cautious approach had kept Queensland safe.

“We will live with Covid – but on our terms,” the Premier said.

“We must continue to protect the freedoms Queensland has enjoyed throughout the pandemic and the best way to do that is to continue getting vaccinated.”

Minister for Health Yvette D’Ath said it was a matter of when, not if, the virus began circulating more widely in Queensland.

“We know COVID is coming, we know cases numbers will rise, but we can be as protected as possible by being fully vaccinated.

“Please make it a priority to protect yourself. The vaccine is safe, effective and free.

“We’ve always said as soon as we reach the 80 per cent target, we will open up Queensland’s borders to reunite families this festive season.

“By announcing a fixed time for the easing to come into effect we can help those families plan.

“Reaching the 80 per cent fully vaccinated target means our community is better protected to handle COVID-19 as it reaches further into the state.”

Minister D’Ath said from December 17 only fully vaccinated people will be permitted to enter pubs, clubs, cinemas, festivals and theme parks and visit vulnerable settings such as hospitals and aged care accommodation.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has announced Queensland borders will re-open to domestic hotspots from 1 am on Monday 13 December, with huge news for those in the border bubble.

The Premier said nominating a time and a date provides certainty for everyone.

“Queensland’s Plan to Reunite Families had nominated December 17 as the target to re-open,” the Premier said.

“It is clear we will reach our target of 80% fully vaccinated much sooner although exactly when is difficult to predict.

“Nominating a time and date provides travellers and businesses with certainty to make their plans and comes four days early.”

As of 1 am, Monday, December 13, travellers from interstate hotspots can arrive by road or air if they are fully vaccinated and have provided a negative Covid-19 test within the previous 72 hours. No quarantine is required for the fully vaccinated.

International arrivals must be fully vaccinated and return a negative covid test within 72 hours of departure.

They will be required to get a test on arrival and must go into home or hotel quarantine for 14 days.

Two important changes have been made, with travellers no longer required to wait two weeks to be considered fully vaccinated. One week is now enough.

All travellers from hotspots must get a test on Day Five after their arrival, and the mandate on who can enter venues remains unchanged. It takes effect on December 17.

Vaccinated residents in the border bubble will now be able to move freely across the border without the need for a PCR test.

Border passes will be required and they will be valid for 14 days.

Unvaccinated residents will be restricted

Disability support launch

By Emily-Rose Toohey Warwick resident Christina Cavanaugh created a Facebook support group designed to unite parents and carers of children with disabilities.

The page, Southern Downs Parents and Carers Support Group, was created on November 16 and currently has eleven members – a number Christina hopes to raise. “[The group] was created to brainstorm ideas and get information about disability from parents and carers with similar experiences,” Christina said.

She was first motivated to establish the group as the parent of Zoe, her 18-year-old daughter living with an intellectual disability.

When Christina first moved with her family to Warwick in October, she realised there were no support groups for parents and carers in her position. As a result, she established the page to build a supportive and informative space through online community building and eventual in-person meetings.

“I hope to connect with people to form a community and meet up with people who won’t judge you,” Christina said.

Disability sector worker Tracey Lee is a member of Christina’s Facebook page, and she said having access to support groups is imperative.

“A lot of people need someone to rely on and to just be there for each other,” Tracey said.

Once the page widens its reach across the Southern Downs, she said her professional knowledge and experience can help answer questions group members may have.

“With small communities especially, it’s very important to have access to support,” Tracey said.

Aside from support and care recommendations, Christina said the group’s posts will comprise of personal stories and members uplifting each other.

“We can gain information from each other and learn from each other and ask questions,” Christina said.

She hopes to spread awareness of the page and inform more parents and carers of children with disabilities of its existence.

Through this, Christina said this awareness will help to create an effective communitybased support system.

Wyerba winery to expand

By Dominique Tassell

12511505-BL36-21

Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) approved an exciting material change of use application for a Wyerba winery and cellar door at the recent Ordinary Council Meeting.

The approval will allow the winery and cellar door to expand include a food and drink outlet and function facility.

A staff member stated the applicants want to construct a new building, which will be used as a food and drink outlet or restaurant and a function facility.

SDRC did receive one submission in relation to lighting, and staff have imposed conditions around lighting to help mitigate those potential impacts.

Councillor Stephen Tancred stated her was a little bit confused about the numbers of people mentioned in the report.

“I see there’s the extension of 60 people, for a total of 193,” he said. “And I see further down the report, there’s a comment about the maximum number of guests onsite (being) 30.”

“So, are we matching the ablutions to that number because I’m a bit confused?”

A staff member stated that this was indeed a bit confusing, but was due to a SDRC imposed condition.

They stated the applicant lodged the application with the capacity to hold 196 people, but after discussions with the applicant staff were concerned about potential impacts on adjoining landowners.

Conditions imposed now state that one facility can be used at a time, so 130 people can be at the function facility while the food and drink outlet is closed to reduce the overall number of people onsite.

A staff member stated if the applicant would eventually want to increase that, they’d have to provide more supporting documentation for that.

Councillor Tancred stated he expected they would want to have both the function room and food and drink outlet operating at the same time, and hoped SDRC could facilitate this.

The motion was moved by Councillor Ross Bartley and seconded by Councillor Marco Gliori.

SDRC approved an exciting material change of use application for a Wyerba winery and cellar door at the recent Ordinary Council Meeting.

Federal Maranoa MP David Littleproud has made urgent representation to the Insurance Council of Australia around the feedback he’s receiving from locals affected by the recent flooding event.

Littleproud calls on insurance companies Member for Maranoa David Littleproud has made urgent representation to the Insurance Council of Australia around the feedback he’s receiving from locals affected by the recent flooding event.

Mr Littleproud is urging the Insurance Council of Australia to stand with affected residents and business owners to assist with swift and uncompromised recovery efforts.

“Locals are telling me there is confusion regarding flood insurance coverage, despite customers making regular repayments,” he said.

“This harrowing event must not be made more traumatic for residents and businesses – which are keen to rebuild as soon as possible – with insurance companies being reluctant to come to the table to support those hit-hard by this natural disaster.”

Whilst recent floodwaters have ripped through many communities in the Ma-

ranoa electorate, the border town of Inglewood was hit especially hard with 800 residents being evacuated during the night of November 30, 2021.

Mr Littleproud warned that the Maranoa flooding event is not over yet.

“While the clean-up effort has begun in Inglewood, other communities in the Goondiwindi Council region are expected to be affected by high floodwaters in the coming days as water from the Macintyre River makes its way downstream and joins with other flooded creeks and rivers,” he said.

Mr Littleproud encouraged affected residents and businesses to open discussions with their insurers as soon as possible.

“Together, we call on insurance companies to do the right thing and not burden residents and businesses in their quest to recover and rebuild.”

“They’ve been through enough.”

Leslie Dam a sight to see Leslie Dam hit 100 per cent last week after intense rain filled up the dam over 20 per cent within days.

While the flooding due to the rain was cause for concern, locals were all smiles about the full dam.

Locals gathered at the dam on Thursday afternoon, hoping to see the dam floodgates open once capacity was reached.

The water release was expected to happen around 6 pm, however did not occur until around 10 pm that night.

Throughout the rest of the week and over the weekend, locals flocked to the dam to see the historic levels, with the pipe open over the weekend to let water out after the gates were closed.

It is not yet known how much damage the flooding has caused to roads in the region, with some damage already evident after some of the water has receded.

Locals can report any damage to roads on the Southern Downs Regional Council app.

For ‘hope and growth’

By Dominique Tassell Part of the Southern Downs Regional Council’s Hope and Growth 2019 Bushfire Photography Exhibition is now being shown at Wild Grounds Cafe on Warwick-Killarney Road, with the official opening held on 3 December.

SDRC’s call for photographic submissions to the collection was met with resounding local community support, with more than 100 extraordinary bushfire recovery photos submitted.

SDRC states that the collection “illustrates the community’s stories of hope and growth following the 2019 bushfires through images captured by local residents”.

The collection has been travelling around the region to commemorate the two-year anniversary of the bushfires.

SDRC partnered with the Queensland and Australian Governments on the project.

A Council spokesperson said the response to the call for photos had been met with enthusiasm and the submissions reflected the healing and mateship that was evident during and after the 2019 bushfires.

“It is important to appropriately mark the anniversary of the 2019 bushfires – an event that united the region in fighting the fires and then following the immediate danger, how the community came together again to move forward with recovery,” the spokesperson said.

“The commemorative photo exhibition captures the ‘then and now’ of the event, reflecting the immediate impact of the fires and the subsequent recovery journey.

“It has been inspiring to see how open and willing our community has been to share its stories and images and we hope the response to attend this exhibition is just as welcoming.”

SDRC to name lane

By Dominique Tassell

Belinda Lister and her husband Member for Southern Downs James Lister with their newborn daughter, Amelia Lister.

Listers’ new arrival Belinda Lister and her husband, Member for Southern Downs James Lister, have announced the birth of their third child, a healthy baby girl, on Monday afternoon.

Amelia Lister will join older brothers Jeremy (10) and William (7) in the Lister household.

Mr Lister said the name Amelia was inspired by Amelia Earhart, the famous aviator and the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.

“Amelia’s a beautiful little baby, and we’re blessed that both she and Belinda are well,” said Mr Lister.

Mrs Lister said that having a newborn baby with older brothers around will be a big change for the family.

“Jeremy and William are very excited to have a sister, but they’ll have to adjust to family life with a newborn,” said Mrs Lister.

“James is away for work a lot so I think the boys will have to mature a little and be my helpers,” she said.

Mr Lister said that they had been contacted by people from all over Southern Downs with well-wishes.

“Belinda and I are thankful for the many kind people who have wished us well”.

“It’s a lovely start to Christmas,” he said.

Southern Downs Regional Council resolved to put forward to community consultation the suggested name of “Foxtail Lane” for an unnamed road reserve off Halls Road, Forest Springs at the recent Ordinary Council Meeting.

SDRC received an application to name an unnamed road reserve off Halls Road, Forest Springs that is in the process of being constructed as part of a development application.

The proposed names from this application were Foxtail Lane, Escape Road, Grey Gum Drive, and Blue Gum Drive.

SDRC report detailed that Foxtail Lane met the requirements for naming a road. It was not stated if the other names did not meet these requirements.

The proposed name will be available for public comment for a minimum period of 21 calendar days and shall include advertising in the relevant media, written advice to adjacent landholders, written advice to any other stakeholders for input, and input from internal departments.

At the end of the community consultation period, a second report will be prepared for Council, advising of any correspondence received. At this meeting a suitable name should be adopted, based on both the applicable criteria and the outcomes of the public consultation.

The motion was moved by Councillor Ross Bartley and seconded by Councillor Marco Gliori.

Trucks halt at floods Locals have sent in pictures of trucks stuck at Goondiwindi during the recent floods.

Goondiwindi, Yelarbon, and Inglewood were quite badly affected by the recent rain, with Inglewood and Yelarbon evacuated last week.

Trucks on their normal route through Goondiwindi, many of them local to our region, were forced to stay at truck stops for days.

With locals worried about access to food and other goods, click-and-collect orders were reportedly filling up even more quickly than normal and shops were busy late that week.

There are no known shortages as a result of the flooding at this time.

Christmas arrived early for the Southern Downs last week, and this year the region was gifted water – lots of it! After enduring years of challenging drought, the heavens finally opened and all three of the region’s

dams are now at 100% capacity. The flood gates at Leslie Dam opened for the first time since 2011 and the sight was spectacular!

Equally as impressive was the sight of Connolly and Storm King Dams spilling over.

Larger-than-life mural showcases Tannymorel’s history The Southern Downs outdoor art trail will soon be expanding with the addition of another world-class public artwork when Tannymorel’s rich railway history is showcased in a unique larger-than-life mural.

Painted on the old wheat shed on Oak Street, the mural will recognise and celebrate the town’s involvement in the Southern Downs railway industry and bring to life the unique personality of the town.

Accomplished local artists Malcolm and Kerry Nicolson have delivered mural projects across Australia, Fiji, Vanuatu and New Zealand and the local community is stoked that Tannymorel is next on their list!

Southern Downs Councillor Sheryl Windle said Council is committed to supporting local artists, new works and the growing creative community on the Southern Downs.

“It is wonderful that Council can once again get behind a project that will capture the essence of a town and give the community a sense of pride in its rich history,” Councillor Windle said.

“The Tannymorel mural will join the growing list of public artworks and sculptures across the region, weaving together a colourful tapestry for both locals

and visitors to enjoy.”

The mural is expected to be finished in early 2022 and is jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.

Dams full to overflowing Leslie Dam isn’t the only dam in the region sitting pretty 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.

Baltic textile exhibition opens at Warwick gallery

By Dominique Tassell

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

Check out these photos of Connolly Dam and Storm King Dam, taken by Brad Osborn and Paul Harvey respectively.

Warwick Art Gallery officially opened its Baltic Mini Textile Gdynia exhibition on Saturday 4 December.

The exhibit was opened by Dr Theresa Lauf Honorary Consul for the Republic of Poland in Queensland.

Southern Downs Regional Councillors Stephen Tancred, Sheryl Windle, and Marco Gliori were also in attendance.

The collection will remain at the gallery until 15 January 2022.

The gallery will be closed from 24 December to 3 January.

From 22 January –to 12 March 2022 the collection will be shown at Dogwood Crossing @ Miles, before heading to Cowra Regional Art Gallery in New South Wales from 15 May to 19 June 2022.

The exquisite miniature contemporary textile artworks from the collection at Gdynia City Museum, Gdynia, Poland are touring Australia in 2021/2022.

The tour has been proudly facilitated by Warwick Art Gallery.

The opening celebrated Polish culture in its many forms, with Polish food and drinks on offer and entertainment by Polish musician Dorota Szweryn.

Dorothy Devine, who attended the opening, says textile work in this form allows for the intricacy and delicacy of the work to be appreciated.

Karina Devine says that by being limited to a small size, artists are able to accomplish things they wouldn’t be able to do at a larger size.

Karina says when choosing the works for the exhibit, she tried to create a collection that included as broad a selection as possible.

She was unable to choose anything that included plant matter, as this would be unable to be shipped from Poland to Australia.

Karina says opening up the packages when they arrived was incredibly special, with everything arriving in their original packaging from when they’d been sent to Poland from all around the world.

Locals can visit the exhibition now.

Border blues

ting workers on to the properties, to be fair a large portion of the blame for those farms that have stopped producing can be directed to the amount of red/green tape imposed on agriculture by the NSW Government.

The horticultural area I mentioned is all around Liston.

Incidentally all of the border residents are in the catchment area of Queensland Health Which was made possible by a great Labor leader Gough Whitlam, and has been that way for 50 years until now and gave us a sense of

identity, unfortunately we see another labor leader destroying all the great work done by Gough Whitlam, incidentally, the only risk posed to us border residents of covid19 was when a Warwick person tested positive.

The easy fix would be to give the residents in the mentioned area a restriction free permanent pass based on phone numbers, Liston 0746861xxx, Legume 07466641xx or addresses.

These businesses need help either Federally or from NSW after all we are NSW citizens, it is highly unlikely that Queensland would help

even though they caused the problem through either indifference or ignorance.

In case you are not aware, the people/businesses living along the State Border between Jennings and Legume and as far northeast as White Swamp are totally reliant on the towns of Stanthorpe, Warwick and Killarney. The people living at White Swamp actually live closer to Brisbane than they do to Tenterfield.

Seven of the largest farms put approximately $10,000,000 into the Queensland economy, in this case, Stanthorpe, in fact, we are de facto Queenslanders and take exception to be being treated like infectious aliens.

The residents of this area very seldom use Tenterfield for anything other than paying of rates or registration, I have been informed that Queensland businesses are being negatively affected because NSW residents have had to take their business to Tenterfield and these days with more people using the internet for many business transactions it will be a long time before some of these businesses return to Queensland It appears to be a case of Queensland doesn’t want our business so we will go somewhere a bit more friendly.

So far all of the tourism ventures have had a loss of between 80-100 per cent because all their guests come from Queensland.

In Wallangarra/Jennings the town’s hotel is in Jennings and in their wisdom, a cement barrier was placed on a road leading to the hotel right in front of the hotel and the barrier is in NSW the barrier should have been placed 200 meters back up the road in Queensland.

A plumbing business is up for sale due to Queensland restrictions placed on the business crossing the border.

One produce agency has had an 80 per cent reduction in turnover. This agency is less than a kilometre from the border, whereas another NSW produce agency has had very little reduction in turnover because QLD customers can drive right to his shop unrestricted even though the shop is in NSW! No attempt to isolate this road has been made! The residents along this road have been free to come and go!

Several of the large horticultural enterprises have either closed or have scaled back operations, some due to restrictions on get-

Rural Links This week on the farm

By Judy Barnet, Ag Columnist Who knew? In my wildest dreams, I could not imagine Glenlyon Dam at its current historic high of 117% as it is here before me today (1 Dec). Another thing I never knew but witnessed today is that spiders can walk on water! I had read about all the creepy crawlies that come out during a flood but this is the first time I have been up close and personal to millions of spiders (sorry Marnie maybe you should stop reading now), beetles, caterpillars, baby snakes and the likes climbing up onto anything sticking up out of the water. I have to say it was an amazing thing to see though even if it wasn’t much fun to wade through the water and tie a rope to the hay feeders – which were covered with spiders – and tow them up to higher ground.

With water still coming in at terrific speed, it is hard to say how high the dam will come up. Last week I was concerned about a couple of paddocks underwater and I swum out and tied a couple of buoys to the fence so we knew where the fence was (my first swim this summer!) and lucky I did as it is the only guide as to where our paddocks used to be – many more are underwater now including “The Dunny That Drowned”. Of more concern is the power meter is only around 400mm out of the water. However, we are the lucky ones.

My heart goes out to the residents of Leyburn, Inglewood and Texas and anyone affected by the floods.

The past few weeks I have been mentioned our ongoing problems with flystrike. We were finally able to get the sheep yarded and undercover on Monday afternoon for Shearer Steve Thomas to shear the next morning. On Tuesday morning we awoke at 4.30 am to the sound of rain and proceeded to get ready for Steve who arrived promptly at 7 am. Steve was a great shearer and quick as well, so by smoko, we had shorn around half of the sheep. Smoko over, we went back to the shed where the rain was starting to come down a bit harder.

The motor for the shearing machine that had started first pull earlier refused to start despite everything that Richie tried. By this time we were getting concerned about how much the rising water at Pikes Creek that Steve would have to cross to get home. We made the call to send him home and let the sheep out. We kept a few back that looked like they could be struck and sure enough, they were. It was back to the hand shears to clean them up! Steve was booked to do a big shearing job next week so we will need to find another shearer to do the rest as soon as we can.

Goats really hate rain and getting wet and although they have plenty of shelter in their paddocks they are not happy chappies. The calves did not enjoy getting kicked out of their shed so we could keep 150 sheep dry either.

They are now installed back under cover but the shed will take a while to dry out. The only ones loving all the rain are the ducks and Dora!

What a difference a day makes. I awoke this morning to a beautiful sunny day although I do remember waking up last night to the sound of heavy rain. We received 17mm alone in that downfall. The dam level dropped back quite dramatically leaving in its wake lots of logs and other debris. We won’t be able to do any cleaning up for a while yet. The quad bike is the only vehicle that doesn’t sink when driving around the farm!

This week I finally got around to starting up the incubator – 12 dozen eggs had piled up in cartons on the sideboard so I sorted any that were under 2 weeks old and put 88 Australorp Bantam and Araucana eggs in and also 7 Guinea Fowl Eggs. Unfortunately, Currajongs and/or Goannas found and raided the Guinea Nests before I did and I haven’t found any new nests – even if I did the eggs would be too wet by now but I shall resume my search from now on.

The lamb that was bitten by the Goanna has gone on to make a full recovery after CJ’s ongoing first aid and will make a fine Ram, I will most likely keep him for our own use.

The 2 Lambs that were dispatched to the butcher last week are now in the freezer and we enjoyed an absolutely delicious lamb roast complete with homegrown Purple Congo Potatoes and Cabbage earlier in the week. The lambs were nearly 15 months old so had plenty of time to develop a beautiful sweet flavour and our roast was incredibly tender

and succulent. Our pork/ham and bacon will be ready closer to Xmas.

CJ despite the rain has been out working on her daily square metre at every opportunity and is currently working on an area outside the cottage near the woodpile – I have named it “Parklands” as it is starting to resemble a small park!

The area already had some ironbark fenceposts around it but no wire, an old sunken bathtub that we removed due to concerns about children falling in and a few trees – namely three Widow Maker Gums that the Guinea Fowl roost in at night, a pencil pine and another type of pine with acorn like nuts that smells oh so beautiful after the rain. CJ is in the process of making a Park Bench from Pallets, I am not sure if she is planning on putting it in Parklands but I suspect the Guinea Fowl might quite fancy resting on it way more than myself who is very wary of Widow Maker Gums!

I have replanted some of the gardens the cows got into with Lettuce, Beetroot and also a couple of Moon & Stars Watermelons I had kept seed from in 2017. These Watermelons are amazing to look at and delicious to eat as well.

Well, despite the best of intentions in getting this week’s read in early it is now Friday morning and I am late yet again so I will sign off for now, have a great week everyone and enjoy the sun whilst it is shining.

Lieutenant Hector Markey

By John Telfer Hector Markey was a hero of the first World War distinguishing himself as a stretcher bearer on the slopes of Gallipoli and later, amid the mud and carnage in the trenches on the Western Front. He had the unique honour of being mentioned in despatches twice by the Commander in Chief, General Douglas Haigh in October 1916, and again, just six months later, in September 1917. Here is Hector’s unique story.

Hector Markey was born on 12th March 1896 at Hay in the Riverina district of New South Wales. He was a son of Jane and Edwin Markey of Hay, one of seven sons and two daughters, where his father Edward started a boot repair business at Crusher Camp and later, at Kurrajong Avenue in Hay. Hector received his early education in Hay where he spent three years with the school cadet unit and after school, worked in labouring jobs before moving to Melbourne for a short period of 10 months, as a Warehouse labourer and driver. He did enlist in the Army reserve with the Australian Medical Corps prior to the outbreak of war in 1915.

Hector, being an adventurous young man, was quick to enlist in the newly formed 1st Australian Expeditionary Force and, after a short period of training, embarked from Melbourne on board HMAT “Ajana” on 4th June 1915, with the 6th Field Ambulance. After a short time at Alexandra, Egypt, Hector was sent to Gallipoli to assist in the campaign as a stretcher bearer.

After landing at Gallipoli Hector was promoted to Corporal on 28th November 1915, and spent time with the No 2 Australian Stationary Hospital at East Murdros and at Lemnos. These places played a critical role in the Gallipoli campaign. Murdros, with its close proximity to the Dardanelles was selected as the allies’ supply base, and as a hospital for the injured from Gallipoli. After the evacuation from Gallipoli in December 1915, Hector was soon promoted to Staff Sergeant and was awarded a Mentioned in Despatches on 4th October 1916. This is what was said: “This N.C.O. has shown a very marked devotion to duty as Sergeant Clerk in this Unit from 1/3/1916 to 4/9/1916 and has never spared himself but has always responded to every call made on him. He was recommended for distinction by the former O.C. on account of his gallant conduct as a messenger (when a private) on Gallipoli.”

Hector spent the next two years with the 6th Field Ambulance in France in the Somme campaign where he once again distinguished himself in the field and gained the rather unique honour, of being awarded a second Mentioned in Despatches which said: “Distinguished service in the field and devotion to duty during the period from midnight February 26th to midnight September 20th 1917”.

It was at this time that a possibly battle -weary Hector, who incidentally caught up with his brother Arnold in France, who had been awarded a Military Medal. In a letter to a Nurse Stewart of Hay, on 3rd November 1916, Hector described the desolation of a French village by German artillery that possibly brought on feelings of futility and war weariness. It may have been the reason for his attraction to the newly formed Australian Flying Corps, so when the Corps were looking for volunteers to train as pilots, Hector applied and was duly accepted.

On 21st March 1918, Hector was posted to No 1 Wing of the Australian Flying Corps from the 6th Australian Field Ambulance for pilot training, retaining his rank of Staff Sergeant. On

25th March 1918, he proceeded to the AFC Depot at Wendover and after his initial flying training, he was posted to No 2 School of Military Aeronautics at Oxford and appointed a Cadet Pilot. Finally, he completed his training on 7th February 1919 and was promoted to Second Lieutenant pilot, and posted to the 5th Training Squadron of the Australian Flying Corps, where he served as Adjutant by replacing Lieutenant Cameron. He served until 15th December 1919, before his embarkment aboard HMAT “Nestor” back to Australia, and finally discharged from the service in March 1920, and although he never flew in combat, he finished the war with a very impressive service record. At this time Hector was asked by Raymond Parer, a noted war pilot, to co-pilot him in an air race from London to Australia, but due to administration blunders, was unable to accompany Parer and had to return by sea travel.

After the war, Hector returned to Melbourne and worked as a labourer before taking up a Soldier Settlement block in 1924, with his brother Stan at “Gogoldrie” in the Mallee, but it turned out to be a total failure. He then returned to Leeton to work at a farm and it was here that he met the love of his life in Kathleen Parkes.

When the Parkes family moved to Brisbane in Queensland, Hector followed and later married Kathleen in Brisbane on 6th September 1930, and later moved to Yangan to purchase a farm that they called “Gleneden” In 1940 when World War 2 broke out volunteers were called to form a garrison at Singapore to help stop the Japanese advance.

Hector immediately volunteered and was selected to go, so he leased the farm and moved his family to Warwick. However, luckily, nothing eventuated as Singapore fell in 1941, so, Hector worked with some of his old Flying Corps mates at a Royal Australian Air Force recruiting team located in Creek Street Brisbane, selecting many candidates for training. As many young men came forward to enlist Hector was asked to spot any potential aircrew and because of his ability to do this, was highly commended. He managed to enlist many men from the Warwick district who went on fly in the European campaign.

Hector never let the physical and psychological effects of the war slow down his life as after the war, Hector became very active in politics, mainly agricultural, and eventually became a member of the Country Party.

He was Chairman of the Warwick Electorate campaign, and was on the Executive of the Queensland Country Party, attending many State Conferences. He also never forgot his old Flying Corps days and proudly represented the “old brigade” at reunions. He was guest speaker at the second annual reunion to celebrate the 29th anniversary of the formation of the RAAF on 6th April 1950, as well as attending the 50th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing dinner, held at Warwick’s Horse and Jockey Hotel on 24th April 1965.

Hector Markey was a true hero in the Anzac tradition. He was a very honourable man, very reserved, and with high moral values.

He never spoke very much about the war to his family, but his war record showed that he was at the forefront of the horrors of Gallipoli and the Western Front in which he received deserved honours for his bravery and dedication.

Sadly, in 1967, at the age of 71, Hector was taken to Warwick Hospital to have his appendix removed but died from complications on 20th October 1967. He now lies at rest in the Soldiers Section of the Warwick War Cemetery.

A handy itch to scratch The latest contribution from Rose City Writers, this week from FLEUR LIND...

Check out more short stories at Fleur Lind’s website - fleursfabulousfables.wordpress.com “Itchy Palm” Agnes was having trouble containing her excitement as she made the finishing touches to her new potion.

In the weeks leading up to Christmas, she had overheard time and time again when out and about on her broomstick, that pockets weren’t deep enough.

To say she had ‘overheard’ wasn’t accurate; all her senses were sharper than a new tack. It was a ‘witch’ thing; it was all part of the package. She was born with a particular set of skills.

Her nose didn’t just twitch, it could pick up a scent from miles away. Her ears were synced in the same way with distant sound. Her senses were highly tuned and never let her down. Her eyebrows were like a radar as well. The more intense the scent, the higher they would raise.

This feature was often he downfall as he mother knew she was probably scheming up something wicked. But generally, her senses could save her from imminent danger, or, and this attribute she always found enticing, draw her to the smell of something…or someone delicious. Sometimes it was a blessing, other times it was a curse; no pun intended.

Licking her lips, Agnes gave her new potion one last, lucky stir.

“That should do it!” she grinned.

Back on her broomstick, with her bottled potion in her pocket, she set off to do some laps around the town. She listened out for the laments she had heard earlier. With her ears alert for incoming calls of help like a police CB radio, she picked up signals and went to work.

As she heard calls for the need of her potion, she dipped the tip of her wand into the potion

bottle and muttering a spell, directed a droplet down through the clouds to a woman with a heartfelt cry. The woman wanted to get her disabled mother the perfect gift for Christmas.

Suddenly, the woman’s hand started to itch. As soon as she scratched, a $20 note appeared in her palm. The itching only stopped when the dollar value was met for the purchase she had in mind.

The woman was shocked but delighted to see the money miraculously appear in her hand from nowhere. She looked around for any clue as to how it had happened. The world around her appeared the same as it had been before her hand started itching. How very odd, but how very nice! She carried on with her day, planning to make her purchase.

Back on watch, Agnes scanned a very tired, stressed parent needing an urgent cash injection for surgery for her child. The look of confusion followed by sheer relief from the parent, filled Agnes with joy, her nose twitching with delight. And the giving went on…a man needed a new and expensive part for his car, holidays were booked, travel plans were made, deposits were made on new builds, food was put on the table to those in need, all sorts of needs were met with a flick of her wand, a secret little spell, and a drop of her potion.

Over the course of the day, Agnes did her best to spread the Joy of Christmas far and wide. Her potion was never about greed. She was mindful not to override all the good that Santa did, after all he was in a league of his own. She was just out on her broom, feeling the breeze, dropping some joy to help people ease.

With its “shelf life” of just 24 hours, she hoped her ‘Itchy Palm’ Potion would make a big difference.

She was sure that everyone she administered it to, would enjoy scratching!

A tidy start to Christmas

stead of being in a tree it is a tree! Apparently it has an extensive root system that have been known to travel 110 metres through the ground to attach to another plant to steal their sap! It is

believed to be the largest parasite in the world and is certainly the largest form of mistletoe. It provides an incredibly beautiful display at this time of the year.

South Australia’s Christmas bush is known as Sweet Bursaria or native box and grows from 2-4 metres depending on conditions, is tolerant of most soil types and will grow quite well in arid areas. It has lovely sprays of fragrant creamy white flowers at this time of year.

Tasmania also claims this beauty as their Christmas bush and it actually grows in every state except WA. It is a tough wiry tree growing over most of Tasmania with its lovely starry white flowers being attractive to birds, butterflies and bees. Apparently the honey produced has a rather wonderful, distinctive flavour.

Victoria’s representative is the largest member of the mint bush family and has the lovely minty smelling foliage of these native plants with the decorative white flowers smelling sweetly of mint also. It flowers at this time of the year around Melbourne and especially in the Dandenong Ranges.

NSW has the lovely Christmas Bush of my childhood, that appears beautifully red at this time of year after the relatively insignificant white flowers have finished. The sepals gradually become brilliant red and the tree almost glows in the bush.

Here in Queensland we don’t appear to claim any tree for Christmas but we do have a most beautiful native white orchid that is commonly known as the “Christmas orchid”. I

guess we do like to be a bit different here in the north of the country!

As it grows profusely and originated in, the rain forests from Cairns to Cape Tribulation, it is not something I’ve actually seen. From pictures, however, it looks truly beautiful with long sprays of white flowers at this time of the year.

It now grows, given the right conditions, from southern NSW right up to northern Queensland.

It likes the damp sheltered floors of the forests and so is believed to be pollinated by moths as it is not in areas conducive to bees and butterflies.

Even though we will probably be sweltering in the heat in most parts of Australia for Christmas, we still seem to follow the traditions ingrained from our mainly northern hemisphere ancestors and use fresh or artificial versions of assorted pines to decorate. I admit that even the Albany woolly bush is my preferred option because it looks like and can be shaped to resemble a typical Christmas tree. I have over the years though, used branches of eucalypt as a uniquely Australian alternative.

One of the best alternatives was a large branch of a banksia one very memorable year with the WA grandchildren. Looking at Christmas lights that year in the small country town, through the eyes of a small boy who had just turned three, is something I will never forget and a memory to be forever treasured and revisited… Oh the wonder of it all!!

It’s almost that time of year! All the trees are decorated down the main street and looking very festive. Windows are decorated and Christmas lights are appearing in house yards all over town.

I have my small tree up and decorated.

These days it is only a table decoration.

I really intended to buy an Albany Woolly Bush and have it in a pot ready to decorate but life has got in the way and it hasn’t happened.

I have seen them growing in the bush in WA and my daughter also had them flourishing in the house yard. I think they make a fantastic alternative to the traditional pine Christmas tree. They have the “pine” appearance but are soft to the touch and are a really beautiful Australian native.

They will tolerate light frost, do well in a large pot, don’t require to much water, like full sun but will tolerate some shade and have lovely red flowers in spring and summer. I really should visit the local nurseries and find one for the northern end of my west facing verandah, I could enjoy it all year and have it ready to decorate for Christmas 2022… something else to add to the “to do” list for this week.

Each state has it’s own version of “Christmas bush” and as much as I love the Albany woolly bush it is not the one that WA claims as their Christmas representative. WA Christmas bush is in fact a spectacular golden flowered parasitic tree that I have seen growing to about 20 feet tall. It is a variety of mistletoe but in-

The Spin Immortalised in bronze As this edition of Spin is finalised, I have one eye on the weather forecast like all other cricket fans not to mention the poor curator and his staff at the Gabba.

The respective Australian and English camps will be pondering what to do should they win the toss on Wednesday.

Not all the action on Tuesday morning at the Gabba centred around the pitch. Outside the ground the final touches were being put place in preparation for the unveiling of a bronze statue of one of Australia’s favourite sons and an adopted Queenslander, Allan Border.

Border, Australia’s Captain Grumpy or Cricket’s Man of Steel as some refer to him has been immortalised in bronze after a group cricket greats and mates including Ian Botham, Shane Warne, Brisbane businessman David Conry and Cricketers Club Queensland president David Cook, declared such recognition was long overdue.

Botham going as far as saying, “AB deserves a statue at every ground in Australia.’’

The project has been a privately funded with much of the work was done behind the scenes with the help of Border’s wife before the man himself got wind of the project.

In typical AB style he said, “I am very proud but suitably embarrassed.’’

I hope that steely look AB was so famous for has been able to ward off the storm clouds predicted for days one two and three of this Test. I’m not sure however if he’ll have as much luck with the Bill Lawry’s pigeons.

The bronze of AB will serve as a constant reminder to all touring teams especially the Poms of the pain the great man inflicted on them and his enduring contribution to Australian Cricket.

holes progress. It becomes quite a spectacle especially when chip offs come into play.

As the players will be well aware, the programming schedule for Warwick Ladies golf has been thrown into disarray due to the weather.

Conditions have forced the Medallist of Medallist comepitition to be postponed twice now. Twice is three times to many according to most and a new date for the event was the centre of discussion among the ladies committee last weekend. Due to the current unpredictable weather conditions and because of the proximity to the end of the year the committee has decided to hold the comepitition over until the New Year.

In the meantime, good luck to those players involved in the Shootout. Let’s hope conditions are ideal.

Watch this space next week when the major winners for the year will be printed. Competition points each from game count towards the Winter Cup and Gillam Family Memorial Trophy. Eclectic Winners for both the Red Course and the White Course will also be announced at our Christmas Party which will have been held prior to publication.

FINALLY, A FINAL

FINALLY, SOME PLAY Warwick cricketers finally got back on the pitch last weekend albeit in between the rain.

On Saturday at Slade Park Redbacks played Sovereign. Neither side was sure of how the wicket would play after the recent rain but when Sovereign won the toss, they sent Redbacks in to bat first.

It was a move that did not play out as they had hoped. Openers Tom Allison and Sam Lowney put on a 39-run partnership before Allison was caught by Damien Canning off a Joe Wagner delivery. Grogan came and went without troubling the scorer bringing James Mainey to the crease. He and Lowney took the score to 139 before Lowney was caught by Wagner off a Damien Canning delivery for 82.

The stage was set for a big total. Mainey (30) was bowled by Canning with the score at 162.

There was some bite in the Redbacks tail with Alex Dwan (21) and Tom Clarkson (16) making significant contributions. At the end of the innings Redbacks were 8/217 and Sovereign had a job ahead of them. Canning was the best of the bowlers taking three wickets.

The Sovereign run chase was a train wreck with no player reaching double figures and they were all out for 35. There were some impressive bowling performances with Tom Allison taking 3/5 and Sam Lowney cutting a swathe through the batting line up.

In the game at KO Masters Oval in Allora Vic Hill proved too strong for Allora. Allora had first use of the wicket after winning the toss and were all out for 98.

Allora began well with openers Tim Kajewski and Mitchell Scheiwe putting on 45 before Kajewski was out for 25. The bowling attack had the better of the batting line up and the only other Allora batsmen to reach double figures were Mitchell Scheiwe (18) and Laura Scheiwe (11).

Harry Sandhu was the main destroyer taking 5/17. Morris and Suresh each claimed a pair.

The total never looked enough although 40 TODAY Thursday, 9 December, 2021

The 2021 SDMDBA District Triples Champions,(l/r) Skip - Tony Schubert, Second - Darren Stanley and Lead - Peter Ayerst pictured with the Shield following their win in last weekend’s final. early doors Vic Hill did appear to be in some difficulty at 2/16. Rahul Suresh who top scored for Vic Hill played a steadying role in the middle order. When he was dismissed for 31 the score was 4/53 and there were still plenty of runs required. Tim Exelby (24) Tom Morris (n.o. 11) and Indika Senarathne (n.o. 8) ensured they knocked off the remaining runs midway through the 21st over for a good win.

RIVALRY CONTINUES The healthy rivalry between Colts and Maryvale continued on Sunday at Slade Oval.

Maryvale won the toss and like Sovereign had on Saturday they chose to give their opponents first crack at the Slade wicket.

It looked like it may have been a good decision when Colts opener Tom Fern was dismissed with the score at 1/1.

James Fern joined Morgan Bourke in the centre and they took the score to 33 before Bourke (17) was out bringing John Cleary to the centre.

Cleary smacked 68 before he was dismissed. John Clements (15) and Jack Ragh (27) added to the total.

At the end of the innings Colts had set him Maryvale a total of 151 to chase.

Kevin Bourke was the best of the Maryvale bowlers. His cunning spin deliveries netting him 4/18 from his eight overs.

Maryvale began well. The openers put on 33 before Pat Bourke (16) fell to John Cleary.

Maryvale lost quick wickets before Mitch Darton steadied the ship. He was out for 26 with the score 6/76. Unfortunately for Maryvale supporters there was little wag in the tail and they were all out for 93 in the 39th over. Shaun O’Leary (3/13) and John Cleary (3/14) sharing

the bowling honours for Colts.

After eight rounds of fixtures there is little between the three top sides.

Redbacks (22.5); Maryvale 22; Colts (22); Victoria Hill (21); Allora (18.5); Sovereign (13.5); Wheatvale (7.5)

FINAL PLAY FOR LADIES Golf carts have only just been allowed back on the Warwick Golf course and as this week is the final week of the Women’s Program for 2021 players and members of the Ladies the committee will have their fingers cross that rain does not interrupt their final day of comepitition on Saturday followed by the Shootout event on Sunday.

This Saturday the ladies will play a combined 18 hole and nine-hole red stableford game giving everyone an opportunity to play in the final competitive game on the 2021 program.

There will be prizes will be for best nine holes (front-nine) and best 18 holes with a ball rundown.

The qualifiers for the 2021 Ladies Shootout on Sunday are :- Annice, Di J, Mel, Marg, Wendy, Mary, Judy L, Anne L, Jill, Lyn, Majella, Vicki, Danielle, Molly, Sharron, Janine, Kath, Liz and Trish Bell. A copy of the Conditions of Play is posted at the clubhouse for players information. The annual event is sponsored

by Vicki and Terry of Suds Laundromat. Ladies have been asked to wear black or navy bottoms to match the “surprise” coloured shirts they will be presented. There is always a great deal of excitement around the presentation of the shirts prior to play.

Spectators are welcome to follow the shootout. Players are eliminated one by one as the

Finally, a touch of luck for the Stanthorpe bowlers as the clouds parted and play resumed for on Saturday with the long -waited final of the Club selected triples championship. The final certainly final proved to worth the wait.

Cathy Stefanon, Gary Trevena and Frank Gallo took an early lead and held onto it. However, at the completion of the scheduled 18 ends the scores were locked up at 13 all requiring an extra end to be played. Robyn Rose, Tom Hodgson and Mark Wicks won the extra end snatched the trophy from the hands of their opponents with a 15-13 win in what was an enthralling and entertaining game. Congratulations to all six players.

While the Triples final played out social pairs were played on other rinks. Louisa Girgenti and Brian Brown suffered a 23-17 loss to Jimmy Ringer and Len Girgenti. In the other game Rocky Thompson and Bruno Stefanon just held on to outscore Helen Jones and Wendy Hurnall in a close game. The final score 12-11.

Please note that due to pre booked functions, Twilight Bowls has been moved to Wednesday 8 December and Wednesday December 15. Normal Thursday Evening bowling will recommence on the 6 January 2022.

There will be no Twilight Bowls from 16 Dec through until 6 January because of the Christmas /New Year break.

The club acknowledges their featured sponsor this week and thank Mark and Natalie McCosker for their continued support.

ON THE GREEN BEATING THE STORM Bowlers were back on the green at the Summit on Saturday, but the very humid and muggy conditions were a good indication that an afternoon storm was brewing. Fortunately, this week it was Bowlers One – Storm Nil this week with all social games had completed before the storm hit.

On the green Eddie Zanatta and Pam Moore had a 19-14 win over Mary Zanatta. The combination of Barry Murphy and John Fairley had a comfortable 17-9 win over Sylean Fairley and Cliff Jones. Attilio Zamprogno, John Graham and Alex Mattiazzi scored a 21-16 win in their game against Margaret Harvey, Brian Brown and Jamie Zamprogno.

This Saturday, 11 December the Summit Bowls Club is holding their Christmas Party at the clubhouse at The Summit Bowls Club.

Bowls commence at 1pm with the Christmas festivities kicking in at 3pm. It is sure to be a fun afternoon on and off the green.

The club will take a break for Christmas and New Year following Turkey Triples Day on 21 December.

Casey O’Connor THIRD TIME LUCKY It was third time lucky for the Semi Finals and Final of the 2021 SDMDBA (Southern Downs Men’s District Bowls Association) District Triples. After two rain delays the games were finally played last weekend with all games held at the Warwick East Bowls Club.

In the opening semi-final Mick O’Leary, Frank Taylor and Dale Callaghan scored a 2214 win over Gordon Assay, Adrian Jackson and Steve Tyter.

The Summit combination of Peter Ayerst, Darren Stanley and Tony Schubert had a walk up start to the final when opponents Rob Capelli, Michael Sweeney and Tyler Sweeney (also from the Summit) forfeited.

In the final the Summit trio (Peter Ayerst, Darren Stanley and Tony Schubert ) scored a decisive 30-15 win over Mick O’Leary, Frank Taylor and Dale Callaghan to take the 2021 SDMDBA District Triples title.

STORM CHASES PLAYERS OFF COURSE A small but enthusiastic group of golfers hit the course in Saturday’s comepitition but midafternoon the storm clouds which had been building most of the day let loose. The ensuing thunderstorm played havoc with many unable to complete the round most content to have made it back to the clubhouse and happy to be out of the weather.

The storm was not enough to deter members and their families from attending the Club’s annual Christmas Party and trophy presentation evening with the Men’s and Ladies player of the year announced.

The Stanthorpe Men’s Player of the Year for the fourth consecutive Year is the ever-consistent Scott Constable. It has been another good year for Constable who is currently the 2021 Club Champion. The runner up for the second year is Mick O’Brien.

Congratulation to the Ladies Player of the Year, Kay Webb. It is a wonderful result from one of the stalwarts of the club over many years.

The Ladies runner up Lisa Stuart only joined the Club earlier this year after deciding to take her golf game seriously and has had some excellent results.

Following the formalities, the party got into full swing thanks to music provided by Club member David Stuart.

Fingers crossed, the weather in the coming week allows the course to dry in preparation for Saturday’s comepitition which is an Individual Stableford sponsored by Aqua Rural Supplies. There is a time sheet for the event on the Board at the Golf Club.

Keith Allan, Max Hunter, Richard Reardon and Eric Ree were all smiles on the golf course on Saturday shortly before a severe thunderstorm drove them of the course and into the safety of the clubhouse.

Scott Constable is Mr Consistency on the Golf course and last week was named Stanthorpe Golfer of the Year. It is the fourth year in a row Constable has won the title. He is pictured accepting the trophy from Ladies Vice captain Nikki Waterworth. craft morning tomorrow (Friday 10 Dec) at the club at 9am. This will be followed by a Christmas Break-up Luncheon at Cafe Jacqui’s, at midday. All Craft ladies are invited.

Craft mornings are set to resume Friday 28 January 2022, at 9am.

We have been advised that the players involved in the final will be notified by their Skip when date for the rescheduled final is set.

BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS AWARD Recently the Granite Belt Basketball Association introduced ‘The Damian Petrie Club Champions’ Award. This award is presented to the club that has accumulated the most points across all three age divisions. The winner of this inaugural trophy for 2021 was Falcons.

Damian Petrie is the president of the association and has been the driving force behind the addition of new clubs and the success of the 2021 season. His passion, encouragement and dedication to foster basketball at grass roots level is an asset to Stanthorpe.

(More photos and details of the finals in next week’s edition of Spin)

WEATHER REPREIVE ALLOWS FOR CRAZY PAIRS A slight reprieve from the recent rain allowed the Southern Cross Bowls club to hold Mixed Social Bowls on Friday night. Conditions were close to perfect as 22 players hit the green.

Eight teams played “crazy pairs” while two teams teams played triples. Our spies tell us that in addition to the usual rabble, new player Brayden Culverhouse brought along his Samantha for a game. Lyndal Nolan was there again with the big fella, Andrew Boals. A Mead was also back with wife Tania and the pair played very well.

This week, the team of Geoff Davis and Daph Cross scored well and were lucky enough to be drawn out of the hat to take home the prize money.

Today, (Thursday 9 December) the club is hosting Social Mixed Bowls at 1.00pm. Everyone is welcome simply call Val Gray on 0409 611 930 to book your spot.

This Saturday, (11 December) the club holds their Christmas Party. Please note the new times.

Be at the club at 3.30pm for free bowls which begin at 4pm. Everyone is welcome to join the fun. There will be a $1000 raffle draw at 6pm, followed by Dinner ($10) at 6.30pm.

HARD WORK ALL THE WAY FOR MOST Following the extensive recent rainfall, it was a case of dejà vu for Warwick golfers last Saturday. For the second weekend play was restricted to walkers only due to the state of the course.

Players reported it was hard work all the 42 TODAY Thursday, 9 December, 2021

Winners of the inaugural Damian Petrie Club Champions Award, the Falcons are pictured with Damian Petrie. way with the course playing extremely long.

Playing off a handicap of 22 Jamie Ollerton returned a hard earned winning score of 41 points. Ollerton began the round with a whimper rather than a bang washing the second hole and also the sixth before before totalling an ordinary 16 points on the front nine.

The complexion of his game changed immediately on the 10th hole when he birdied the hole with two shots on the hole for a three a five. He continued his good form for the remainder of the back nine recording a whopping 25 points for an 18-hole total of 41 points.

A great win.

The runner up Clayton Frank is another player on fire scoring 39 points for the round.

Clayton was a member at Warwick years ago and some will recall he had his last competition game in November 2016. At that time, he was playing with a 12.9. He re-joined the club this year and had his first game on 6 November after a GA Handicap after a five year break.

He played off 12 and recorded a net 71 in the Monthly Medal event finishing a very creditable eighth in a field of 68 and has played every Saturday since It did not take long until Frank found himself back in the winner’s circle. Only a week he outscored a field of 60 to claim a win with a score of 40 points and followed that up with another win on 27 November with a score of 39 points in a stableford event before finishing runner up on Saturday last playing off a 10 handicap. It has certainly been a great comeback and we look forward to following Clayton’s comeback. If he can keep these consistently good rounds there is no doubt Clayton Frank will soon be handling a new single figure handicap.

In the run-down last Saturday Keith Clarke and William Martin each received a ball. Their scores 35 and 34 points respectively.

At the pro pin on 13 Peter Millard collected three balls, Evan Pfeffer two and Josh Jensen one ball.

The NTP’s on five and 16 both went to Shaun Campbell while Dave Speedy won both the seventh and 11th. Kris McLennan won the 16th.

In a programming change, the December John Dee Monthly Medal will now be played this Saturday.

SHOOTOUT FIELD FINALISED The field for the Condamine Shootout which will be played this Sunday has been finalised. The Shootout Field is:- W Wells, R Dudley, J Pearson, P Farrell, M Banks, S Eldridge, P Millard, B Landrigan, S Scotney, J Owens, D Speedy, T King, E Cockram, S Haynes, M Hoskin, C Hynes, J Hynes, M Watt and G Russell-Sharam.

Players are required to be at the club by 8am in preparation for tee off at 8.30am. Please notify either club Captain Brendan or the Pro Shop. The three emergency players in case of withdrawals are Keith Clarke, Charlie Morrison and Garry Adcock.

A Calcutta will be held at the Clubhouse on Friday evening commencing at 6am with meals available and entertainment by that good golfer Eamon Cockram. Golfers are encouraged to support this event.

GOLDEN RUN CONTINUES The Australian Women’s Rugby Sevens team made it back-to-back wins in the HBSC World Rugby Sevens. After success in the first series

the women were back in action last weekend in Dubai.

In their opening pool match the Australian girls defeated 40-0 and followed that win up later in the day with a 52-0 thrashing of Canada.

The Australian’s ruthless treatment of their opposition continued with a35-7 win over Brazil. Charlotte Caslick continued her outstanding from notching up five tries for the day.

In a tougher game on day two they defeated Russia 26-17 to progress to the final playing against Fiji.

In the final game of the Dubai Cup, they defeated Fiji 15-5 College and Newly minted captain Demi Haynes a former student at Scots College and Fairholme College now has a 10 from 10 record in the series while Charlotte Caslick heads the individual player stats across the competition.

It is the first time since 2017-2018 that the women have won back-to-back World Sevens titles. In a game based on speed and skill backto-back tournaments like this are demanding and the win is a credit to the resilience of this team which has bounced back from their disappointing Olympics campaign.

Despite their impressive wins in Dubai the litmus test for the women will come when archrivals, the Kiwi’s re-join the competition.

They did not participate in the opening two series due to C COVID restrictions.

A high performance review has been undertaken by Rugby Australia. After the dismal performances of the Seven’s at the Olympics RA there has been a restructuring of their high performance unit, including the sevens programs.

The women’s squad has been reduced to 15 players. The men’s squad cut to eight full-time players as part of cost-cutting measures by RA. The jury is still out on whether these two series wins will be enough to save the position of the Women’s coach John Manenti and his counterpart Tim Walsh (coach of the Men’s Sevens side). Both were asked to reapply for their positions. It is believed RA will decide on their futures in the coming weeks.

2022 will be a big year for Rugby Sevens (Men’s and Women’s). The HBSC caravan roles on from January through to May. The 2022 Commonwealth Games will be played at the end of July followed by the World Cup 7s tournament in South Africa in September.

Decisions made now by RA will have a far reaching effect. In the meantime, the Australian Women’s team is riding high.

(It seems last week the incorrect captions were attributed to the Ladies golfers and women’s rugby seven pictures. We apologise for any embarrassment. We are blaming the heavy recent rain as it seems to have affected everything else.)

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.
