You know how some people are just obsessed with Christmas? I was never really one of those people.

But I’m realising as time goes on that maybe this was more situational than anything.

When I lived in Canada, I absolutely LOVED Christmas.

I loved the snow, I loved the hot chocolate, I loved the bad Christmas movies on Netflix.

And when walking down the street in Warwick, looking at the trees done up, I’m thoroughly enjoying myself.

So maybe when I was growing up in Brisbane, I didn’t love Christmas because it was honestly…just not that Christmassy.

Maybe the heat also just makes me a grumpy person, who knows?

But it brings me great joy to see the Christmas spirit in our region. I love seeing photos from everyone’s Christmas parties and encourage absolutely everyone to send in their Christmas photos for us to feature.

I’m still not over the dog done up in Christmas attire at the Allora bush markets. Please send me pictures of your dogs in Christmas outfits.

After seeing the photos we’ve featured this week from the Christmas farm, you best believe I’m planning a trip.

I will also absolutely be playing Christmas Tree Farm by Taylor Swift the entire drive. Sorry to whoever I drag along with me.

I know it’s been a tough year (or two or three) for everyone. But it’s very evident to me that this region has a special kind of spirit that you can’t find just anywhere else. We have a special community and I feel very lucky to be part of it.

Jumpers and Jazz preparation begins

By Emily-Rose Toohey St Mark’s Women’s Guild is undertaking a project to decorate the church’s bell tower with hand-made flowers for Jumpers and Jazz in July next year.

The group has made a few hundred flowers and are aiming to make 1400 in total, naming the project ‘Flower Tower 2022’.

St Mark’s Women’s Guild treasurer Elaine Stewart said the flowers are being knitted and crocheted in different sizes using vibrant colours.

“It’s great for the community to take on a bigger project,” Elaine said.

Although the project is for Warwick’s annual festival, St Mark’s Women’s Guild president Winsome Anderson said it is not for the competition.

“It gives a lot of people something to do by bringing the community together and brightening up the church,” Winsome said.

“Even if the bell’s a bit sparse, we’ll fill it up next year.”

In collaboration with Warwick women’s groups and parishes throughout the Southern Downs, Elaine said they are hoping to decorate the bell’s corner as inspired by a church in England.

“What’s great is the community is so happy to support us,” Elaine said.

These contributor groups include Warwick Girl Guides, St Mark’s Craft Group, Allora Ladies Craft Group, and other women in Warwick, Toowoomba and Brisbane.

Elaine said St Mark’s Women’s Guild is hoping to start assembling the project on 7 February, 2022.

However, she said the flowers will continue being made until June next year.

“It’ll be amazing,” Elaine said

Coombes Bridge flooding aftermath

By Emily-Rose Toohey As a result of flooding, the body of water at Warwick’s Coombes Bridge was at a high level last week.

Waste and a strong odour were also present at the site, which has since been cleared.

Director Infrastructure Services Gary Murphy said council crews are working to displace flood debris from the bridge.

“The debris is not physically removed from the river but dislodged downstream unless it presents safety issues,” Gary said.

“Given there are many upstream properties within the flood plain, it is important to ensure any structure across the river does not create an afflux issue.”

He said afflux is defined as the increase in upstream water depth as a result of constric-

tion of a flow channel.

“The height and profile of Coombes Bridge was designed and constructed to prevent an afflux,” Gary said.

For residents with concerns about flood damage or recovery work, council said reporting any inquires to the My SDRC App is advisable.

As the 2022 Jumpers and Jazz in July festival approaches, registration for the Tree Jumpers Exhibition has started.

Exhibitions officer Emma Lenz said of the 130 available trees, 50 have been taken for next year’s festival so far.

“Some people and businesses have had the same tree for years,” Emma said.

Gallery director Karina Devine is responsible for creating the exhibition’s theme, which she said can be interpreted in many ways.

“I’m always on the look-out for theme inspiration and I write them down in a diary,” Karina said.

She said the inspiration for next year’s theme ‘ripples’ was developed from the idea of ripple effects.

“During the Coronavirus lockdowns, people took up hobbies like arts and crafts and knitting – a result of the pandemic,” Karina said.

When it comes to selecting the theme, she said she chooses a few potential ideas from her list and key staff members help with the final decision.

She said because the theme is for the Tree Jumpers Exhibition and not the entire event, people can be creative with their craft.

“I encourage people to participate over the next six months; it’s great to be part of it,” Karina said.

The Jumpers and Jazz in July festival will run from 21 to 31 July, 2022.

Ongoing crises in region

By Emily-Rose Toohey Regional mental health services have seen a consistent influx of people seeking support over the past two years.

In the unprecedented age of Coronavirus, Lifeline Darling Downs and South West Queensland CEO Derek Tuffield said there has been an increase in rural referrals.

“Uncertainty has caused a lot of anxiety,” Derek said.

However, he said this support seeking has also been due to other crises, including flooding and over seven years of drought.

“There’s been no period of reprieve and one challenge after another,” Derek said.

As of 1 December, he said the service’s inperson counsellor appointments have been booked-out until the new year.

The Toowoomba-based Lifeline branch has sent an outreach to Warwick and surrounds for support as a result.

Similarly, Headspace Warwick centre manager Travis Maguire said the 12- to- 25-year-old

youth demographic the service supports has seen an increase in participant engagement as individuals are attending more sessions.

“There’s levels of complexity and ongoing concerns,” Travis said.

“However, Coronavirus is not the main reason for seeking care.”

Derek said Christmas is a busy time of year due to pressure, high emotions, and further uncertainty regarding the government vaccine mandate this year.

“National research has shown between 10pm and 5am are the busiest times for our 24-hour helpline, when people are anxious and aren’t sleeping,” Derek said.

In this time of uncertainty, former Warwickbased hypnotherapist Tony Kane said his alternative practise may help temporarily relieve stress and anxiety related problems.

“Work on confidence, concentration and feeling happy,” Tony said.

“Do things you used to do as a kid – look up at the sky and make shapes out of the clouds.”

@ THE STANTHORPE SHOWGROUNDS, 8 HIGH STREET

An Australia-wide rental shortage has become a growing concern for the Granite Belt region as demand for houses has increased recently.

Crisp Real Estate owner Norman Crisp said this is due to a lack of new buildings, buyers purchasing established properties which requires tenants to relocate, and people moving to the region because of Coronavirus.

“I had a woman call me up in tears because she couldn’t find accommodation for her and her child,” Norman said.

“The demand is high, lots of people are looking and we can’t accommodate everyone.”

Granite Belt local Jackie Barron was living in Stanthorpe with her three young children, adult daughter and her three children, and their dog.

She said the owners of their rental sold the property and the family had 30 days to find new accommodation.

“The house went on sale on the Friday

and was sold by the Monday,” Jackie said.

By 6 December, Jackie and her family were unable to find another rental and she now lives with her sister in Brisbane.

“We applied for rentals and spoke to the department, but we didn’t get a look in,” Jackie said.

“It’s very frustrating and very stressful.”

Jackie’s oldest daughter Tarah Werner said she moved in with a Stanthorpe-based friend but has been separated from her three children.

“I’ve tried everything – all the farms and real estates,” Tarah said.

However, Jackie said they are not the only people struggling to gain accommodation in the area.

“Nine people may apply for a house but only one person gets it – eight people still don’t have a home,” Jackie said.

With such a high demand for properties, Norman said there are limitations to what real estates can provide for people in these situations.

“There’s no easy fix,” Norman said.

Annie the orphan dog

By Dominique Tassell A local woman is urging locals to think carefully before they buy any pets this festive season, after adopting a dog six weeks ago that was abandoned on the highway at The Summit.

Leonie Smith and her dog, Annie, are a match made in heaven. But just six weeks ago Annie was left on the side of the highway.

Leonie said Annie was sunburnt and had lost patches of her hair, so they’re not sure how long she was left there.

Why her previous owners didn’t surrender her to a local shelter, Leonie doesn’t know.

“Don’t dump your animals,” she said. “Do not throw these babies away.”

Leonie herself was forced to give up her previous dog, Eddie, to a shelter after she felt she could not properly care for him as he grew bigger than expected, but she cannot imagine what would cause a person to abandon their animal the way Annie was.

Leonie surrendered Eddie to We Care Country Kennels and checked on him regularly until he was adopted out to a young family. She also adopted Annie from We Care Country Kennels.

She said the kennels are very careful about making sure animals are paired with the right potential owners, and checked that her house was suitable for Annie and called up to check up on how they were bonding.

Leonie also has a cat named Harry who was found abandoned and urged people to stop if they see an animal in need of help on the side of the road.

Vicki from We Care Country Kennels emphasised to us the importance of microchipping your animals, so they can be safely re-

Leonie Smith and her dog, Annie, who was abandoned on the highway. turned to you if they do run away or get lost.

She said animals shouldn’t be treated like “disposable commodities”.

She said people sometimes have the attitude that if their dog runs away, they can just get another, or if they get sick they can simply put them down.

If dogs are brought into the kennel, but are microchipped, they will reunite them with their owners for free.

Vicki emphasised that people should never give a live animal as a gift at Christmas, as people need to buy the right pet for them.

She said it’s important to meet an animal first before you make them part of your family.

Vicki said that Christmas can be tough for shelters, as some of their foster carers may go away on holiday and mean there are limited places to foster dogs.

The IGA in Stanthorpe has a bin outside where locals can drop off donations for the kennel such as dog food, which can make a big difference.

Kate from Southern Downs ARK said that “companion animals, such as cats and dogs, are not toys or gifts”.

“They are a 15 to 20 year commitment.”

She stated that before signing up for pet ownership, serious consideration should be given first to the cost of looking after an animal.

Potential pet owners should consider whether they can afford food, annual vaccinations, tick and flea treatment, wormers, plus vet treatment for chronic illnesses that typically afflict an ageing animal, or for emergencies, such as snake bites or bowel blockages.

She said they should then consider whether they have the time and energy now and into the foreseeable future to care for that pet and provide it with the love, attention and training it needs.

Finally, Kate said people should acknowledge that no animal is perfect and then ask themselves if they are sufficiently committed to the animal to take the good with the bad “or do they know, deep down, that they’ll get rid of it if and when the going gets tough”.

She said people will find the right fit for them if they go through the process of bringing an animal into their home “thoughtfully and honestly”.

Southern Downs ARK is currently taking signatures for a petition encouraging Southern Downs Regional Council to join the National Desexing Network.

This would mean that eligible residents of this region can have ongoing access to lowcost feline and canine desexing.

Other councils such as the Scenic Rim, Ipswich and Gold Coast Councils have joined the network.

Locals can sign the petition at ARK’s giftwrapping booth at the foot of the Woolworths Travellator in Rose City.

Get involved with SDIEA in the new year With it being the time of year that New Years Resolutions start forming, the Southern Downs Industry Education Association (SDIEA) is encouraging locals to look into the programs they have on offer in 2022.

SDIEA’s programs are funded by Queensland Government’s Skilling Queenslanders for Work initiative and the objective of the programs is to support people aged from 15-65 to gain the skills required for employment.

All qualifications and programs SDIEA offer are within key employment areas across the Southern Downs.

The organisation’s support is customised to each individual’s needs and where needed they also work to support other barriers to employment such as licence, clothing, accommodation/mental/social support referrals and more.

SDIEA are currently recruiting for an exciting Workplace Skills Traineeship (Business) which will be paid and run over 18 weeks, commencing in late January.

The project will employ 8 locals full time to work for SDIEA whilst also supporting

major local events.

This project will support individuals to gain valuable workplace and administration skills whilst earning an income and contributing to our community.

Trainees can expect to gain skills that will

support them in future employment opportunities.

SDIEA are currently taking enrolments for a paid Traineeship in Conservation and Eco System Management that will employ 15 people across the Southern Downs for 20

weeks to work on partnered projects with Landcare, Southern Downs Regional Council, Queensland Parks and Wildlife, Hermitage and Rivertrust.

They have successfully delivered Certificate 3 Individual Support qualifications over the last few years, which is a direct pathway to employment in Aged/Home and Disability care.

They will continue to deliver this popular qualification in the new year.

SDIEA are very excited to be offering a Cert 2 Health Services Qualification for the first time starting next year. They are taking enrolments now for the program, which commences in early February.

This supports broad foundational employment skills transferrable across the Health sector.

This qualification is suited to youth looking for skills to gain long term employment who are not currently engaged with school or permanent employment.

SDIEA also host PCYC’s Braking the Cycle program, which offers mentor driving lessons to young people who need assistance to gain their 100 hours of learner driving hours.

Ian Jackson ready to retire

By Dominique Tassell

With domestic tourism set to expand over the coming years, communities along the border have been working hard to prepare for this growth. A recent meeting was held at Legume to discuss current plans that are in place to expand tourism.

Community interest was very high with over fifty people attending from Liston through to Urbenville, all interested in discussing future tourism plans. The meeting was attended by Janelle Saffin, Member for Lismore and Peter Petty, Mayor of Tenterfield Shire. Mr Petty thanked everyone at the meeting for their interest and expressed Council’s ongoing support and commitment for tourism developments along the border.

A planned Border Trail from Woodenbong through to Tenterfield was discussed in detail.

This area is within easy access of the population centres of South-East Queensland. With the population of the South-East corner growing to 2.6 million people, the opportunities for tourism along the border are enormous.

The aim of this trail is to link the various villages and tourism operators throughout the region and to encourage new business ventures. Mount Lindesay Road is the lifeblood for tourism in the area, as most tourism flows along this road. The recent upgrade of the road provides the area with significant promise for the future. This project is designed to use the road upgrade as a scaffold to promote tourism throughout the region.

Discussions have been held with tourist operators around Killarney, who will benefit from the increase in tourist traffic from this trail.

The Border Trail is designed as a multi-use trail that provides cycling and walking experiences as well as drive routes. The key to the project is the provision of signage along the many backroads and trails in the area to promote a self-guided experience for all manner of tourists, whether they are interested in walking, riding or driving. The aim of the project is to create signage that explains the his-

tory of the border communities and the many natural wonders of our area.

The proposed trail traverses the Heritage Listed Gondwana Rainforests in the east through to the temperate forests around Bald Rock in the west. It travels past fifteen significant waterfalls and many significant heritage sites. The trail moves over volcano country, from the Wollumbin Volcano to the caldera of the world’s largest volcano around Bald Rock.

Parts of the trail follow the path taken by Allan Cunningham and along the original Cobb and Co track. The trail traverses an area that is home to well over 300 species of native birds and many endemic and rare species of native animals and plants, including an area considered by the National Quoll Recovery Plan as one of the most important populations of the Spotted-tailed Quoll in Australia.

Janelle Saffin reiterated the concerns expressed by many residents of the significant economic and social impacts that bushfires, drought and border closures have had on these border communities. She supported the tourist initiatives that had been discussed at the meeting as key mechanisms for recovery.

Janelle committed to continuing to support border communities in seeking government support for these initiatives. In a statement to the meeting, Janelle outlined her desire to see the Border Trail commence construction, as the first stage of a plan that will see tourism thrive along the border.

This Border Trail has the full support of Tenterfield Council and a flow of grant funds to commence work on this trail is expected in the coming months.

Ian Jackson has announced his retirement, and will officially finish up on 4 February 2022.

Ian is the longest-serving electoral officer in Queensland and has worked for three Members for Southern Downs, including current member James Lister and previous members Lawrence Springborg and the late Peter McKechnie.

Ian said the last 18 months dealing with Covid have been memorable, and “fairly full-on”.

He said trying to be the go-between constituents and the health department has been fairly stressful for the people involved, but he was very glad he could help people in some way.

Ian said locals have all been “pretty good” and he’s been very happy in his job.

“But the time has come for me to fade away over the mountain,” he joked.

He said he wishes James Lister and Lawrence Springborg all the best in their current positions.

Ian is looking forward to going home and doing a “fair bit of work” on his garden.

He’s also hoping to eventually do some travel and has set his sights on a trip to Tasmania.

Goondiwindi Council Mayor, Lawrence Springborg, said he worked with Ian Jackson for 27 years and 11 months. Or 27 years and 51 weeks to be exact. Ian was by his side through the entirety of Mr Springborg’s time as Member for Southern Downs.

He says Ian is a “consummate professional”.

Mr Springborg said Ian “was always very considerate and extraordinary diligent in his job and I’m very privileged to count Ian as a friend of mine”.

He said Ian is “a friend of many across the Southern Downs because he’s assisted

so many people…in his very professional calm considerate way”.

Mr Springborg said that Ian held down the fort in the office, and gave him muchappreciated peace of mind that everything was being looked after.

“It gave me extraordinary comfort to know someone of Ian’s personality and professionalism was there to provide that support,” Mr Springborg said.

“He can go into retirement feeling very comforted that his service is not only recognised but greatly appreciated.”

Mr Springborg said Ian was “as near to perfect in the role (of electoral officer) as you can get”.

“I was privileged to work with him and I wish him all the best in his retirement.”

Current Member for Southern Downs, James Lister, said he is certainly going to miss Ian. He said he’s been immensely privileged to have Ian’s level of experience as part of his staff.

Mr Lister said he indeed imagines that the last two years have probably been the busiest Ian has encountered, and Ian has been instrumental in helping locals navigate the border.

Ian’s help has also been invaluable, Mr Lister said, in navigating his first four years in office.

“It’s so important that you have staff around you who can lead you through what we do, and very few members of parliament inherit staff from their predecessor, let alone their predecessors’ predecessor,” he said.

“It’s enabled me to serve the community without fear or favour and with the very best possible advice.”

He said Ian has “truly earned his break”.

“I sincerely wish him well and I thank him for agreeing to stay on for my first four years as a Member of Parliament.”

DEAR SELLERS AND BUYERS, THANK YOU FOR THE INVITATION TO WORK FOR YOU DURING 2021, I’VE CONSIDERED IT A PRIVELEGE INDEED. Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas enjoying quality Family time, Delicious food and the time to reflect on what we celebrate at this time of year.

Award winning artists Malcolm and Kerry Nicholson are preparing to paint the Tannymorel mural on 10 January, 2022.

The brothers will paint the mural on the wheat shed in Oak Street in tribute to the town’s railway history in the Southern Downs.

Kerry said both he and Malcolm have designed basic layouts and examples for the mural that are likely to change in the future.

“It’s hard to know exactly about the finished product as it evolves during the process,” Kerry said.

As of now, he said the mural will feature a train prominently, a railway, people waiting to board the train, carriages with coal, wheat and logs, pigs and calves, and a picturesque scenery.

The brothers were both born in Brisbane and Kerry said they have always enjoyed painting.

“We used to be called Duck Graphics for more than 20 years – I’ve been painting for 40 years,” Kerry said.

They started painting professionally in the 80s in the video industry, including sign-writing at Dreamworld and the Brisbane Convention Centre.

Their business has expanded since then and Malcolm and Kerry have painted murals world-wide, winning six international awards in the process.

The brothers are currently working on a project in Pittsworth and will turn their full attention to Tannymorel’s mural in early January.

“As restaurants have reopened across the country, the demand we’re seeing for reservations and dining show Aussies are out in force to support old favourites, neighbourhood spots and newcomers alike,” Tim said.

Essen’s owner and head chef is Clarissa Pabst.

Stanthorpe’s Essen restaurant was awarded one of Australia’s Top 50 restaurants by OpenTable last week.

OpenTable is a restaurant reservation platform and the list was determined by 280 000 restaurant reviews collected from diners across the country.

Following Victoria, Queensland restaurants secured 17 spots on the list to take second place – Granite Belt’s Essen being one of these places.

OpenTable’s senior account manager Tim Domelow said it was incredible to see the innovation restaurant owners and chefs had shown, from city streets to regional locations.

The recently refurbished Allora Reservoir went online again last Wednesday, 8 December.

The reservoir has been offline since 2018 and has undergone a $383k upgrade as part of the Southern Downs Regional Council’s commitment to maintaining water infrastructure.

Upgrades included a new roof, an access platform and ladder, relining of the internal walls, and improved safety features.

The fully-funded council project commenced in May 2021 and was completed in September 2021.

A council spokesperson said that once the reservoir is back online, residents may experience some pressure fluctuations and/or discoloured water.

However, the spokesperson said this will disappear after the water has run through the tap for a short while.

Southern Downs Regional Council Mayor Vic Pennisi said this upgrade is to ensure extra water security for the community.

Residents can contact council on 1300 697 372 if they experience ongoing issues.

Welcome return of a Warwick landmark The week of 11 to 19 December was planned as an introduction to cross country flying for Boonah gliding club pilots visiting Warwick Gliding Club based at the aerodrome. Sadly, this had to be put on hold by the gliding club due to the recent deluge.

The Warwick region has had 190mm rain in November, and already 118mm rain in the first week of December, which has turned the surrounding paddocks into temporary tributaries before the water eventually flows into the Condamine River.

These are not ideal conditions for gliders, who use rising air to stay aloft.

Even the nearby Clifton airfield has been closed due to the runway being waterlogged.

Luckily, the Warwick airfield has remained high and dry but under these conditions’ glider pilots cannot venture too far away from the airfield.

However, the Gliding Club is still able to offer air experience flights.

The views from up above just show how much water has moved through the landscape.

However, every cloud has a silver lining.

Warwick glider pilots have welcomed the return of Leslie Dam back into the landscape, which now sits at 100 per cent capacity after years of drought.

The glider pilots use the dam as a visual triangulation and navigation point when

they are flying back to the Warwick aerodrome, and for over three years it disappeared from view when the dam got down to four per cent capacity.

The lack of a visual reference meant that the glider pilots had to rely on satellite navigation to orientate themselves on a safe bearing back to the airfield after a day of flying above the Darling Downs.

The Southern Downs are a magnificent region for gliding and it attracts many people to move to the region as well as visit every weekend from Brisbane.

With the water gradually moving away and the skies clearing good gliding conditions should soon return.

Mandate meeting concern

By Dominique Tassell

Pam Burley opened the meeting.

Last week’s meeting regarding mandates drew a huge crowd. employee in this position.

She then said she will lose staff who are not anti-vaxxers, but want to wait for more information on the Covid-19 vaccine.

This received applause.

Rosie stated she does not want to replace these staff members, as they are family after being with the cafe for so long.

She said she believes our community has the right to make its own, un-manipulated, decisions.

Melissa Cost, the owner of Hair Studio, then spoke to the meeting.

She said when the mandates were rolled out, it was clear they targeted young people.

“What was a little bit better hidden, that seems more manipulative, is that they also used fear against parents and carers.”

She said her daughter has diabetes, and at first, she thought being unvaccinated may mean she could not be with her daughter when she was sick.

Melissa said that she keeps hearing people say that she should get vaccinated so they can “return to normal”.

She stated she wants her normal to be where she doesn’t feel threatened and manipulated into doing things with her body she doesn’t want to do.

The next speaker came from a background of aged care, stating she believed the mandate would take away peoples freedoms and prevent them from providing the best care to their clients.

She said that here today at the meeting, no one knows who is vaccinated and who is not, and that is the way it should be as this is personal information.

“We can set the standard we want in our community and in this country.”

Stephen Collins then corrected his earlier mistake regarding Member for Southern Downs James Lister, acknowledging the birth

of his daughter as his reason for not being there, though his absence was later mentioned again by a speaker.

Lisa from Scoop Health Foods then spoke to the meeting.

She said she believes medical history should be kept between a person and their medical practitioner.

She said she believes in community and believes the mandate will negatively impact us.

She said by enforcing the mandate, she will lose such a large amount of her business that she may be forced to close.

“If we do nothing we potentially lose everything, if we stand together we have hope,” she said.

Senator Pauline Hanson then arrived, to the largest applause of the night.

She said it “wasn’t good enough” that locals are being told what to do with their bodies.

She then spoke against the Liberal Party for several minutes, eventually calling them “wankers”.

Senator Hanson addressed the meeting for a large portion of time, at one point stating to the meeting that no TV journalists were present as journalists did not want to report on the meeting.

This is while at least three local outlets sat in a pack on the side, near at least one of her staff members.

Senator Gerard Rennick then spoke to the meeting from quarantine.

He spoke against “the destruction of civil liberties” in recent times.

He said being forced to get the vaccine was “cruel and inhumane”.

“They are confusing public health with occupational health and safety,” he said, further stating he did not believe this responsibility should be put on businesses.

“I don’t want to see our country torn apart by states or otherwise,” he said.

Southern Downs Regional Council has one final meeting this year, with nothing in the agenda pointing to them discussing the mandate.

However, Mayor Pennisi may use his mayoral minute to do this.

The meeting will be held after our print deadline but before this paper comes out, so readers can find that coverage online.

He stated to this newspaper that he hoped to be able to pass on the sentiment of the community to Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk.

He highlighted there will be complex consequences to the mandate, especially for Council services, as businesses cannot function without staff.

“We need to find an alternate solution.”

He said there are 4000 businesses in the Southern Downs that have been keeping the economy going in the region for the last two years.

“They’ve dealt with drought, with fires, with frost and hail storms, and mice plagues,” he said.

“They’ve dealt with Covid, and now a curveball about stopping customers coming in.

“It’s a big call, and they’re frightened.

They’re scared of the uncertainty of the future.

“If I was a retailer, I’d be scared too.”

Mayor Pennisi said, “the intent is to explore if there are better ways to do this”.

“There may not be, but at least people have been heard.”

In his letter to Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, sent late last month, he suggested that unvaccinated people in the community be encouraged to wear masks instead.

Southern Downs MP James Lister has stated he is vaccinated but opposes “coercive and discriminatory Covid vaccine policies”.

Queensland Labor candidate for Southern Downs, Joel Richters, highlighted online that “there is no requirement for businesses to man the door and check everyone on entry”.

He stated that businesses only need to ask for proof of vaccination when they serve or assist people.

A meeting held last week regarding mandates in the Southern Downs was at times punctuated by anti-vax sentiment and conspiracy theorist discussion.

Southern Downs MP James Lister was also repeatedly called out for not attending even after it was explained his daughter was born earlier that week and he was on paternity leave.

Huge crowds turned out at WIRAC for the meeting, which was called to advocate for the Southern Downs being a pro-choice region when it comes to vaccines.

Southern Downs Regional Council had a strong presence at the event, with Mayor Vic Pennisi, CEO Dave Burges, and Councillors Stephen Tancred, Ross Bartley, and Marco Gliori in attendance.

Mayor Pennisi cancelled his holiday, a fishing trip, to attend the event.

While the meeting was fraught with conspiracy theories and anti-vaxx sentiment, the original purpose of giving voice to local businesses and their thoughts on the mandate was somewhat achieved.

We have chosen not to include the misinformation spread during the meeting.

Pam Burley, one of the organisers behind the event, called for a “strong voice” from the council regarding us being a pro-choice region, which received tumultuous applause.

Later in the meeting, she stated that the mandate will negatively impact the huge amount of volunteer-led events and organisations in our region.

“What will happen if these people are no longer allowed to attend these facilities?”

She implored SDRC to make their public facilities open to everyone in the community.

Stephen Collins spoke of the strong community here in our region, stating we have been segregated recently.

“Now we are a community once again,” he said. “We are having our freedoms stripped away from us.”

He listed off names of people who had been invited but gave their apologies.

He then listed Southern Downs MP James Lister, Federal Maranoa MP David Littleproud, Goondiwindi mayor Lawrence Springborg, saying they didn’t bother to reply with apologies, inciting boos from the crowd.

As stated previously, Mr Lister announced the birth of his daughter last week, which was his reason for not attending.

Rosie Favero, the owner of Bellevue Cafe, then spoke to the meeting.

She stated she chose to be vaccinated, but it was her choice and she thought everyone deserved that choice.

She spoke of the impact the mandate would have on her business, stating she is expected to check people’s personal status before letting them into her business.

This will turn people away as it will take up too much time, she says.

“I would have to have an employee standing at the door at all times to do this,” she said.

Rosie stated she doesn’t want to place an

My new baby sister here

By William Lister Last week my new baby sister called Amelia was born in the Hospital. She’s really cute and I love holding her and helping mum and dad dress her and change her.

She’s got very cute eyes but sometimes she looks everywhere all the time like the Cookie Monster’s eyes and she can’t look straight but mum says she’s still learning to use her eyes.

When she’s had her feed she gets really sleepy and we wrap her up so that she looks like the Very Hungry Caterpillar in the story book and that’s really cute.

Mum and dad are really happy with how Amelia sleeps a lot at night because when Jeremy was a baby before I was born he used to cry all night and they never got to sleep.

I sang Silent Night to her and read stories to her because I love her so much.

Berry good day out Our junior photographer, Anna Lahiff, attended the strawberry picking event at Eastern Colour over the weekend.

Eastern Colour reported that they had over 300 people attend over the two days and “needless to say a lot of strawberries were eaten”.

They will be hosting another event in January.

Check out her photo from the day, and a picture her grandma took of her with one of the biggest strawberries we’ve ever seen.

NEWS WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Towns take on cheer of the season Decorations are adorning shops, trees are going up and lights are starting to appear on houses across the Southern Downs and Granite Belt as we all try to find Christmas cheer after another year that has tested so many of us.

The search for that little something special for friends and relatives has become even more important than ever before as we seek to overcome a difficult year and search for joy.

And so we are all hitting the shops to find the trappings and trimmings for a great Christmas day celebration, as well as the perfect gift, or arts and crafts materials to create the perfect gift.

The nicest thing is we don’t really have to leave the region to do it.

The Granite Belt and Southern Downs offer a unique shopping experience that many big-city shoppers would envy.

In fact, this year, with overseas travel out of the question, tourists have been flocking to the region sampling just what it has to offer and browsing the many shops.

Across the region, there are shops that have been in operation for several generations, many still in the same family, along with new and emerging businesses that make our shopping experience so unique.

Shops that stock all sorts of weird and wonderful things that you may not find in cities.

While many capital cities now seem to have all the same stores selling all the same thing – this region has a rich mix of independent stores, fresh local produce as well as chain stores.

There is also all of the latest styles and colours – things imported from overseas or made in the region just waiting to be found, gift-wrapped and placed under the tree!

From all the team at the Warwick/Stanthorpe Today, we would like to wish you, our valued customers, a safe and happy Christmas and New Year. We appreciate your patronage in 2021 and we look forward to serving you again in 2022. We will be taking a break over Christmas, with our last paper of the year hitting the shelves on 23 December and returning again on 13 January.

Livestock markets update Rain was still one of the main factors to influence yardings at the weekly sales.

The flow of cattle eased as some growers were unable to get their stock to market.

The yarding of 643 head of cattle was still fully firm across the spectrum.

With the festive season upon us the weekly sales will shut down until mid-January after the final run next week.

Cattle numbers Vealer steers averaged 673.2c/kg to a top of 916.2c/kg or $1689.12 to $2415.69 Vealer heifers averaged 613.6c/kg to a top of 658.2c/kg or $1802.84 to $2197.11 Feeder steers averaged 598.7c/kg to a top of 685.2c/kg or $2321.75 to $3033.08 Feeder heifers averaged 570.2c/kg to a top of 602.2c/kg or $2054.81 to $2254.98 Yearling steers averaged 647.9c/kg to a top of 768.2c/kg or $2226.57 to $2808.08 Yearling heifers averaged 546.2c/kg to a top of 608.2c/kg or $1998.28 to $2307.27 Steers averaged 474.9c/kg to a top of 598.2c/ kg or $2360.81 to a top of $3020.91 Heifers averaged 439.7c/kg to a top of 524.2c/kg or $2149.81 to a top of $2959.36 Manufacturing steers averaged 454.2c/kg to realise $1816.80 Cows averaged 383.6c/kg to a top of 415.2c/ kg or $2142.71 to a top of $3069.00 Cows and calves shared the spotlight again with a top of $4250/unit and average of $3209.62 Bulls averaged 450.3c/kg to a top of 636.2c/ kg or $2120.16 to a top of $3294.00 Sheep and lamb numbers Sheep and lamb numbers surged after last weeks cancellation with 2093 head meeting the market.

The better finished types and the young

fresh replacement stock were fully firm.

The only stock to have some give in pricing was for the articles just off in finish or showing ill effects after the rain.

Lambs topped at $260 to average $186.69 up $4/head from last sale Hoggets topped at $300 to average $166.34 up $6/head

Ewes topped at $204 to average $112.39 up $34/head Wethers topped at $216 to average $119.95 up $60/head Lamb rams topped at $200 to average $166.07 down $17/head Pig and poultry numbers Pig numbers were up in the light and store

end, with the smaller numbers leading to higher prices for the processing stock.

Sows sold from $250 to $540, Boars sold to $120, Baconers sold from $139 to $275, Stores sold from $30 to $208.

Poultry numbers were constant with Guinea fowl selling from $25 to $55, Quail selling from $25 to $30, Hens & chicks selling from $15 to $30, Goslings selling to $25

This week on the farm

By Judy Barnet, Ag Columnist

2021 Shearing Team. enjoy sending and receiving cards and making phone calls to friends and family on Christmas Day. I also love cooking the traditional hot meal – turkey and a baked ham from the aforementioned Wessex Saddleback Pigs, parsnips and all the trimmings! Preferably cooked in my wood stove, regardless of the temperature outside.

What about this crazy weather? I don’t think I have ever seen so much rain! The dam has gone down from its historic high of 117.5 % leaving lots of debris and a terrible smell in its wake. Some fences are still underwater and look like staying that way for a while yet. The Land Cruiser and trailer are bogged up near the dam paddock and look like they’ll be there for a fair while.

We wanted to wean the lambs into this paddock so Richie took the first load up after shearing on Sunday, dropped them off, drove out of the paddock and sunk. I mean really sunk! The tractor is also broken and is not going to be an easy fix in its present position.

I have lately caught up with Jane Dawe, a longtime member of the RBTA and also president of the Welsh Black Cattle Association, and also breeder and secretary Cherryl Flemming.

They have provided me with photos and information on this ancient breed that dates back to 3000 BC. I hope you enjoy this information on Welsh Black Cattle.

Welsh Black Cattle in Australia One of the most ancient breeds in the United Kingdom, Welsh Black’s ancestors – the Celtic Ox, date back to the Roman Times.

The Bank of the Black Ox was formed when Silver and Gold were considered dangerous to move due to bushrangers in the early days – The Bank of the Black Ox was later sold to Lloyds Bank.

Australia imported Welsh Black Semen in the 1960s, 16 cows and one bull in 1984 but it was not until 1994 that the Welsh Black Cattle Society of Australia was formed.

There are currently approximately 250 Registered Welsh Black Cattle in Australia.

They are a long-lived breed with cows still calving up to 22 years of age.

They have the ability to turn very coarse fibre and rough grasses into milk & meat where other breeds would turn up their toes.

Butterfat is around 4% Extremely hardy feet and short legs make them good cattle to have on hill country.

Their coat can be extremely thick and hairy through the cold but sleek in the summer.

Problem-free calving with a wide berth canal.

Extremely Docile Quality Carcase and do well in feedlots Breed Contact: Mrs Cherryl Fleming – Secretary australian.welsh.black.cattle@gmail. com

Done and dusted! Shearing for 2021 is finally completed thanks to Team Brennand, Steve Thomas, Kiwi Brendan, Richie and CJ. For a while, it was touch and go. Saturday morning dawned bright and clear, a good sign for shearing on Sunday. The only thing that niggled at me was that the weather was muggy. Around 11 am Gary Brennand phoned me and queried the likelihood of storms as they were bringing sheep over for shearing as well. He mentioned he could see a few thunderheads forming.

“All good from where I am standing,” I replied. “I think we will be safe and even if we get a little storm there is plenty of room undercover.”

I was at work and didn’t pay much attention to the sky until around 3 pm when it looked a bit ominous out towards home. The BOM had issued a storm warning by that stage and it looked like we would be right in the firing line.

Around 3.30 pm a lovely lady that had lived out near me as a child called into work and advised the storms were looking wild and it might be best for me to head home. Unfortunately, I had to stay until 4 pm and then pick up some calf milk in Stanthorpe. There wasn’t much I could do.

She made the very kind offer of offering me a bed for the night if I got stuck. I was touched that someone had gone out of their way to drive over to work and let me know about the storms. She was dead right. At 4 pm, just as I was leaving, the wind was wild and the rain just starting. I was quick to pick up the milk.

The rain, although quite hard, I thought would all be gone by the time I got halfway home. I was way off the mark. Just past Greenlands, the storm intensified and the rain came down incredibly hard. By the time I got to Springdale Road, I could see the rivers raging. Although not yet over the road at the causeways I knew they soon would be. I continued cautiously and slowly, looking out for places I could get off the road and stay the night if the road was cut anywhere. I was relieved to cross the Maryland with the water still a foot under. Luckily for me, it was the same at Pikes Creek.

On arrival at home, I was informed the storm had arrived horizontally instead of vertically and blown in on the sheep and that water was running through the pens. There was still a bit more drafting to do. Gary and Georgie had brought their son, young gun Charlie, and their dog Jill so they made quick work of the job!

Sunday morning was foggy but soon cleared to a sunny day. I had to work so missed all the action! An early inspection found the sheep to be fairly wet on top so the team worked to circulate the sheep in the sun until the shearer arrived. Gary was a bit worried the shearer might say they were too wet and refuse to shear however with a bit of shuffling the driest sheep were moved into the pens and shorn first by which time the others were pretty dry!

Team Brennand stayed back to vaccinate and backline all the sheep for flystrike after Brendan left. I awoke Monday morning with a feeling of “shear relief” that the shearing was done and the sheep were safe from those evil flies!

It doesn’t seem long since I wrote about Mrs Puddleduck hatching some ducklings out, but guess what? Mrs Puddleduck and her sister Ruffles have hatched out another brood. CJ and I managed to round up five from Ruffles and Mrs Puddleduck had three but the crows have managed to pick off two of hers.

The Rare Breeds Trust of Australia’s monthly board meeting was held yesterday and I moved a motion to purchase some rare breed semen from Welsh Black and Sussex Cattle for the Future Farm Fund (aka Semen Bank). I bet not many readers have heard of this breed.

Thanks to one of our Directors, Yan Kleynhans, we have been donated straws of British White and Tuli semen. We also have some Belmont Red semen so it is a great start. If anyone is interested in donating any rare breeds semen please do not hesitate to contact me. I am happy to provide further information.

Well, Christmas is nearly here and I haven’t done a thing so far. It has snuck up on me. No Christmas cards or tree. I haven’t even bought the traditional Christmas turkey yet. I will have to shake a leg and set myself a deadline. I will make it 15 December to get everything done.

Now I have committed to it here I can’t go back on my word!

It’s not that I don’t like Christmas – I do still

A stickler for the season Gardening and dreaming up designs is always my relaxing thing to do. Sometimes it takes a long time to get these ideas implemented!

So far I have in place my old gate, and post and rusty wire “fence”. My mother’s very old wheelbarrow is parked in the open gateway.

Other than putting a metal cut out of a kelpie dog by the gate that design idea is about complete. My family think I need a pet. Well, my idea is that I will have a watchdog by the gate... he will be the perfect pet... easy care, no worries about feed, water or exercising, and I will be able to go away and leave him without a worry!

I have another area that has been underway for some time that will incorporate a windmill, pond and a recirculating solar pump so it actually looks like the mill is pumping! Thanks to some help from some young friends who like building things, the mill is now in place and the garden soil to surround it has been delivered.. thank you Aldo! This is a continuing project!

Then I have another area in my house yard that I would like to establish as a succulent and cactus garden. It is not a big area and at present is Kikuyu lawn. As it is steep, it is difficult to mow and my solution is to landscape it with gravel, succulents and cactus so that I won’t have to.

It is bordered by a colourbond fence on one side and my cement driveway on the other and faces to the front of my block with a retaining wall and an existing narrow flower bed. The

plan is to have a dry gravel creek bed meandering through a selection of appropriate plants.

It is one of those projects that continues in my mind but as yet has not been started. It may have to wait until my son is in the area to help with some heavy lifting that will be involved!

I started to revisit my plans last week after I saw a spectacular, tall cactus covered in large, creamy white flowers in a town garden. It is exactly what I envisage as the feature plant in the area!

I had a variety of this plant in a garden near Tamworth and the flowers are truly beautiful and very attractive to bees. They come out in the evening and fade soon after the sun hits them in the morning. Even given this short flowering they are well worth growing to enjoy for that short time if you have a suitable position.

Friends have sent me photos of some other wonderful varieties as they come in all shapes,

sizes and colours and there really is one for every application and position whether you need to grow it at ground level, in a pot or a hanging basket.. full sun or even partial shade.

They are easy-care plants requiring little water so are great for our area. In fact, too much water can be their downfall as it may cause root rot. They can be mixed and matched with native grasses to give a stunning and natural-looking landscape. I will definitely be looking to such things as kangaroo paw and other dry area plants. I envisage that it will flow down the slope to my existing old fence posts with their rusty wire and the flowers in front. At present, there is a row of sunflowers

about to come into flower along this fence.

There should be a variety of colours from almost chocolate to the traditional yellow.. I am becoming very impatient to see the effect in full flower. Sunflowers are my favourite at the moment and I have put them in assorted spots through the existing flower beds. They come in such a variety of sizes and colours now that there is one for most spots.

Driving around it is a delight to see the paddocks of beautiful eye-catching yellow flowers.

Having been involved in growing large acres of these in a past life it is always a delight and nostalgic to see them.

Other plants that I would like to have in this garden are some of the many varieties of aloe.

They come in so many forms and colours that I should be able to find varieties that are suited to the position.

The ground cover over gravel will be different coloured “pigface” and I have these ready in pots in other places in my garden.

Agave, in some of its many forms, is another that I would like to have. The fox tale agave that I wrote about earlier in the year would certainly add interest if I could get it to flower.

As we approach the Christmas holiday break, we can be thankful for the rain and that everything is growing so well. The lawns are certainly keeping everyone busy and the noise of lawnmowers is becoming a common sound most days as one or other of my neighbours endeavours to keep their lawns trimmed ready for Christmas visitors.

The Christmas miracle

By John Telfer I once heard a wonderful story So, I will try to convert it to verse, It was about a shepherd boy called Jarrod, Who walked on crutches since birth.

Now Jarrod was minding the flock one day When three wise men came riding by, On their way to witness the Christ birth, Guided by the brightest star in the sky.

Jarrod was enthused by their story

That a child Messiah was about to be born, So, he set out to witness this miracle, On his crutches, he left at dawn.

Jarrod struggled over mountainous tracks Till his knees were all battered and torn, He was determined to see this Christ child, To see the manger, in which he was born.

At last Jarrod arrived in Bethleham Wearily dragged along by his crutches, And as he reverently approached the stable, He thought a miracle was within his clutches.

But the stable stood silent and empty, Jarrod realised he was much too late, For he had missed the birth of Jesus, Who had been born on an earlier date,

For he knew the baby Jesus was born, When he left, church bells were ringing.

As he wept in disappointment, Jarrod placed his hands in the Manger’s hay, When all at once his face lit up, As he felt the warmth where Jesus did lay.

Now Jarrod’s heart began to swell As he heard a choir of Angels singing,

Jarrod was elated as he headed back home, For he now knew the Messiah had laid there, He would tell the villagers back home, Jesus was there, though the manger was bare.

As he journeyed back over the rugged land He knew that to him Jesus had been kind, And it was not until he was halfway home, He realised he had left his crutches behind.

Casey O’Connor

Cummings aces first test No points for guessing how most of my week was spent.

How good was the first Test!

Perhaps not quite so much if you are a Pom. There are more than a couple of experts wearing a little egg on the face and eating crow after Mitch Starc’s first ball heroics.

My only complaint I was not there to see it in person, but believe me when I say there were not too many balls I missed over the course of the game. I am probably now a little bug-eyed - most TV I’ve watched for some time.

The game was certainly enthralling and both teams gave the big Gabba crowds plenty to cheer about.

There were some extraordinary performances from Starc’s first ball to Alex Carey’s final catch to dismiss Mark Wood giving young Green another Test scalp. Records set, equalled and made – you really can’t beat a first Test at the Gabba.

I’m pretty sure there was never much doubt Pat Cummins was a man made for the captain’s job and if the proof is as they say “in the pudding” - his five wicket haul in the first innings should have silenced the doubters who said the weight of captaincy would affect his bowling (I know our colleague, Tania would have been as delighted as me at his performance – she is probably his No 1 fan).

Alex Carey’s work behind the stumps, a record equalling eight dismissals was for keepers everywhere a thing of sheer beauty. Travis Head repaid the faith with a sensational innings as he made every post a winner in the selection stakes. Warner showed just how gritty (no sandpaper pun intended) he can be and really deserved another Test ton but that, as they say, is cricket.

And best of all Nathan Lyon’s 400th wicket looks to have loosened the shackles and he bowled at his best to snare four.

The only downside to the whole thing (apart from me missing the action) was Dave Warner left nursing badly bruised ribs and the injury to Josh Hazelwood.

Hazelwood’s side strain will keep him out of the Adelaide Test while Warner will probably be carrying an extra layer or two of padding when he front-up to the quicks over there.

In the meantime, hostilities were temporarily put on hold as both teams shared a charter flight from Brisbane to Adelaide.

Wonder who got to sit at the pointy end of the plane and who was shunted to the back?

Can’t wait for Adelaide – more must see TV viewing.

- Casey

ACTION ON THE GREEN Last Saturday under clear skies bowlers from the Warwick East club played social bowls. Two games of three-bowls fours were played. The winners Johnno Johnson, Peter Collis, Matt Shepherd and Norm Hassum. Once again, the attempt at the jackpot was unsuccessful.

With green renovations imminent last week was to be the final round of social bowling for 2021. However, the green renovations have been put on hold due to the recent and the club there will be play this Saturday . Social mixed bowls will offer the normal trophies and another opportunity to chance your hand at the jackpot. Play starts at 1pm. Please submit your names by 12.30.

As this is definitely the final round of bowls in 2021, the day will wrap up with a barbecue following play. All members are invited, even if you don’t want to play bowls. You can arrive around 3pm and enjoy the BBQ In line with Bowls Queensland recommendations and Queensland Government mandates, our clubhouse will be open only to double vaccinated people from tomorrow.

Members and visitors are required to bring their proof of vaccination. This will be re-

Travis Head and Marnus Lauschange at lunch on day two. quired only once as the club will record your name for future reference.

A final reminder to all members that your 2022 subs are now due.

FINALLY SOME LOCAL CRICKET ACTION Cricket on the Southern Downs has been one severely impacted by the recent weather and severely hampered some of the fixtures.

As a result, the Warwick Cricket Association opted to split their Round Nine games over past weekend and the coming weekend and fortunately the weather gods were on their side this week.

On Saturday, at Slade Park and undermanned Allora side played this season’s biggest improvers, Redbacks.

An undermanned Allora team took on this season biggest improvers – Redbacks. After winning the toss Allora batted first but were dismissed cheaply. Redbacks opening bowler Anthony Dwan had opener, Brad Johnson back in the clubhouse for a duck and the score 1/0. The bowlers took control of the innings as the Allora batting line up struggled. The only batsman to make it to double figures was Kris McLenann (18). McLennan was making a welcome return to the Allora line up.

Thye Clarkson and Shawn Brown each had a field day with the ball each taking four wickets. Clarkson finished with 4/11 from six overs and included two maidens. Brown’s figures almost a mirror image. He took 4/12 from six overs, bowling one maiden over. Opening bowlers Dwan and Grogan the other wicket takers.

Redbacks in reply had a wobble at the start of the innings when opener Ryan Clark was knocked over for a duck with the scores 1/9, clean bowled by Jamie Holmes 1/9.

The fall of wicket brought Steve Grogan to the crease and he opener David Drewery had little trouble knocking off the required runs as not out midway through the 19th over. Drewery remained not out 28 while Steve Grogan smacked a quick fire 38 from as many balls to wrap up another win for Redbacks.

On Sunday Warwick Hotel Colts put together back-to-back wins with an easy victory over Sovereign Animals. Colts are starting to find form and after winning the toss batted first in the game also played at Slade. With the score on just 16, opener Matt Kiernan was out for eight caught by Canning off the bowling of Marc Wagner. Wagner had his second wicket shortly after when Kiernan’s replacement Sam Bourke was dismissed for a duck. The score 1/21.

The Man of the Moment on Day one Mitch Starc takes a well earned break on the boundary.

Morgan Benn was joined in the middle by Maugan Benn, and the pair took the score to 94 before Benn was caught by Canning off a Seth Esson delivery for 35.

John Cleary scored 31 from 30 deliveries before he became Wagner third scalp and the score 4/155.

Colts lost a couple of quick wickets when Costello and O’Leary went for ducks, but tailender Adam Byrne added a handy 19 taking the score to 8/189 at the close of the 40 over innings.

Bourke (57), Benn (35) and Cleary (31) were the backbone of the Colts innings while bowling honours belonged to Marc Wagner who finished with a six-wicket haul.

In reply Sovereign started poorly and never recovered. They were bundled out for 59. The only score of any note, Cahal Davis who top scored with 18they too were fortunate that “Extras” added 14 to their total.

Colts captain courageous, Al Costello was the pick of the bowlers finishing with 3/5 from 4.3 overs and included two maidens. Kiernan Cleary and Morgan Bourke each picked up two wickets.

This weekend Wheatvale will be chasing their first win of the season when they host high flying Victoria Hill on Saturday. Maryvale complete the draw with their schedule bye.

After a couple of aborted efforts, Sunday should see the start of Warwick’s Mitchell Shield representative campaign the Warwick’s Mitchell Side team commence when they meet Toowoomba Heritage Oval.

BRYANT DEFIES DIFFICULT CONDITIONS Stanthorpe Golf course was still suffering the after-effects of more midweek rain on Saturday when golfers hit the course for the Individual Stableford event sponsored by Aqua Rural Supplies.

Defying the conditions was one of the club’s more senior gentlemen, Lyle Bryant who returned a score of 39 points and then held his in own in a countback with Matt Waterworth to claim a win. Waterworth himself had an excellent one over par round while the winner will be pleased (or perhaps not) to learn that his score did not go unnoticed by the handicapper who has been quick to make the necessary reduction to his handicap.

Despite narrowly missing out on the win, runner up Matt Waterworth had a day out.

He won the pin shot on three, the approach at 5/14 and the birdies nest on five. Mick O’Brien won the pin shot at 12 and Eric Ree 17.

Now that’s a sight any Aussie cricket fan should love.

CHRISTMAS SHENANIGANS AT SUMMIT The Summit Bowls club held a social bowls afternoon last Saturday to coincide with annual Christmas party.

Three games of Triples and two games of three Bowl Pairs. There was an excellent roll up with 26 players out on the green. Good to see a few new faces out on the green trying their hand at the game.

There was plenty of friendly banter going on when my spy popped in during the afternoon as everyone warmed up for the party afterwards.

Steve Jolly, Margaret Harvey and Alex Mattiazzi has a close game against Melissa Mick, Owen and Carl Sutherland finally scoring a 1211win.

Sylean Fairley, Tina Schubert and Brian Wilmot had an easier win in their game against Pam Moore, Barry Murphy and Jamie Zamprogno. The final score 16- 7; John Graham, Tom Hodgson and Adrian Jackson scored a 12-5 win in their game against Sharon Watkins, Mary Zanatta and Tony Schubert.

In the pairs match ups Brian Brown and Cliff Jones had a very comfortable 23-10 win over Maree Ball and Rod Newlands 10 while Rhonda Stanley and Darren “Banger” Stanley

played a 13 all draw in their game against Eddie Zanatta and John Fairley.

Winners and runners up were determined by a very technical method – cards were drawn out of the bucket “lucky dip” style.

Those “In Luck” were overall winners Sylean Fairley, Tina Schubert and Brian Wilmot.

The runners up were Steve Jolly, Margaret Harvey and Alex Mattiazzi.

After the games there was plenty of Christmas cheer inside the clubhouse as members enjoyed a cold beverage and plenty of Christmas nibbles straight from Santa’s kitchen.

As December winds down there are only a couple of dates remaining on the calendar before the club breaks for the holiday season.

Saturday, 18 December - Trophy Afternoon Tuesday, 21 December – 2021 Final Turkey Triples

· ·

BIG WEEKEND FOR WARWICK GOLFERS It was a big weekend for the Warwick golfers who finally had the opportunity to enjoy the course after rain and the weekend program was full.

On Sunday the reprogrammed December Monthly Medal was played after being postponed the previous week. That was followed on Sunday by the Shootout.

TURKEY ON THEIR MINDS While many of us are contemplating the Christmas Turkey it was ‘Turkey Triples” on the menu at the Southern Cross Bowls Club last week as the club hosted the event for the final time in 2021.

Conditions were very humid and thanks to that band of little green men (and some not so little) the green played very well.

Peter Collis had his eye in early in the day and was very happy with the first rink he played on. Some people went as far as to say they had not seen him play that well in 20 years. Unfortunately, that form didn’t last. In the second game skipping against Dave Scotney and crew he gave away quite a few big scores.

There were some other outstanding games.

The rain did show up, but fortunately only for lunch and the bowlers were all in the clubhouse enjoying theirs.

Peter Collis presented Kim Hankinson with

Carmelo Citrigno received the Gloria Hendry Memorial Trophy for the Best Club Person.

Carmelo is a valuable member of the basketball community and a great volunteer.

The Gloria Hendry Memorial Shield is presented to a member of the basketball community for outstanding service and commitment during the season. Gloria was accidentally killed in a car accident on the day of her basketball grand final in 1975. Carmelo received the trophy from, Gloria’s brother John Hendry on behalf of the Hendry family.

Senior Magic coached by John Daveson. Winners of the Marie Favero Best United Team trophy.

This trophy was presented to the players who have worked together as a team unit, encouraged each other and showed good sportsmanship. his well-earned badge for winning the District President’s Singles.

Although they would have preferred to be watching the cricket, the overall winners on the day were Geoff Creighton and very Grumpy from Tannymoral assisted by Paul Beaman.

The runners-up were Steve Ford, Graeme Wallace and Margaret Wright from the Warwick East Club.

The meal vouchers, donated by the Criterion Hotel, went to Phil Wagner, Lyn Collie and Kay Bloomfield who were beaten by a score of 13 in both games. The meal vouchers were greatly appreciated if not the scores. 13 proving lucky for some. Maybe, maybe not so lucky for Phil Wagner who managed to lock his keys in the boot of his car as he was about to head home.

Raffle prizes went the way of Brian Black, Cocky, Allan Davidson, Dave Scotney and Geoff Davis.

The Southern Cross members and committee extend a big thank you to all the club s and visiting players who have competed in Turkey Triples and other events at the club over the past 12 months. Of course the biggest thank you is saved for the volunteers at the club who make the magic happen.

Last Saturday afternoon, social bowls again proved popular. Six teams played pairs and two teams triples. An array of colourful shirts definitely brightened up the green.

The winner (out of the Christmas hat) was the team of Barry Heffernan and Cheryl Wickham.

There was much anticipation as the $1000 raffle was drawn.

The winner of the first prize of $500 with his grey ticket N100 was that lucky Irishman, Val Gray. (I thought green was supposed to be lucky for we Irishmen – must be where I’ve been going wrong) $100 prizes were won by Sophia Holland, Frank Hankinson, Frazer Roche, Mandy L and Brad Gainey. A nice preChristmas pick up for those lucky punters.

Congratulations to all.

Those not so lucky in the draw did not miss out as the ladies came to the rescue once again with a great meal including a large variety of magnificent desserts for everyone. Special thanks to those ladies who do such a magnificent job.

As we wind down towards a visit from the man in the red suit there are only a couple of bowls dates remaining on the 2021 calendar.

Today, (Thursday 16 December) Social Mixed Bowls starts at 1pm. Everyone is welcome simply call Val Gray on 0409 611 930 to book your spot.

BACK ON THE LAWN The Warwick Croquet players are certainly enjoying the sunshine. On Saturday 4 December a small group headed out onto the lawn.

Peter Campbell and Lesley Grayson scored a 21-15 win over Tony Hinde and Dorothy Gartery.

On Tuesday (7 Dec), Tony Hinde and Julie Grayson played Peter Campbell (n/s).

NOT AGAIN Not again they said as the social bowling scene at the Stanthorpe Bowls club was again disrupted by the weather.

With plenty of members taking an early mark for Christmas holidays Saturday events were reduced to two games of three bowl triples. In the opening game Luisa Girgenti Greg Hammond and Mark Wicks stole the chocolates from Helen Jones Bruno Stefanon and Len Girgenti. The score 22-18. In the only other game played Rocky Thompson Jimmy Ringer and Brian Brown just outlasted Tom Hodgson Ray Rankin and Wendy Hurnall . the final score 18-16. It appears this will be the last appearance by Jimmy Ringer and members wish him all the best in the future.

This Saturday 18 December is the final bowls day at the Stanthorpe Club for 2021.

A reminder that Twilight bowls starts again on 6 January 2022.

The club’s featured sponsors this week are Judy and Mick Spiller of M & D Auto and they are thanked their continuing support.”

The John Dee Monthly Medal competition was the final chance for players to book a berth in the Medal of Medallists round next Sunday.

The Monthly Medal competition has been sponsored by John Dee for some time now and the club thanks the management of that fine company for their ongoing support.

A strong field of 64 hit the fairways. Matty Grew is obviously enjoying his summer without the pressure of football and coaching the Cowboys. He is enjoying some quality time on the golf course, and it showed on Saturday. He recorded a winning score of 80 off the stick for a nett 65.

It was one shot better than runner up Rhys Farrell who had a great round and shot a one under off the stick for his nett 66.

The “A” graders were to the fore with Josh Hynes (67) next best with 67, Geoff Hinze (68) and Jay Roberts (70).

On Sunday, the field lined up for the Condamine Steel Shootout and as usual it provided plenty of excitement.

The standard of play during the very long opening two holes gave a fairly clear indication of the level of nerves with plus 10 scores recorded on both holes and for a moment it looked likely that the women playing behind were going to overtake the men’s field.

Nerves settle and things heated up. From the 15th tee there were only “A” graders left in the group of five and it showed that much like Saturday the course was playing tough with little or no run and plenty of rough off the fairways which look beautiful.

By the 16 the four remaining players recorded a total of one under off the stick with Shane Scotney scored a birdie while Chris Haynes, Josh Hynes and Sean Haynes all recorded pars.

Sean Haynes dropped out in the chip off leaving Shane and the Hynes brothers going up the 17th. Shane was first to play his second and planted it in the middle of the green. Josh played a great shot through some trees to put his second on the back of the green and after a monster drive Chris also hit centre green.

Shane had a no fuss par with his shot while Josh also parred the hole from the back part of the green but without a shot. Surprisingly Chris three putted with a shot and it came done to a chip off between the siblings. Both played excellent chip shots, but it was Chris who moved on to 18.

Showing his previous drive was no fluke, Chris Haynes hit another monster drive while Shane Scotney found very thick-rough on the left of the fairway. He played arguably his best shot of the day drawing around a tree and placing is ball in centre fairway, just a wedge out. Chris hit just wide of the green and putted it up fairly handy. Shane hit the green but left himself a very tough downhill and sideways putt. He failed to convert leaving Chris a nice birdie to wrap up a beautiful round of golf and the Shootout win.

This Saturday a red marker stableford has been scheduled. The Medal of Medals contenders hit the course on Sunday with an 11am draw for the finalists who will be hoping for great playing conditions. Good luck to all contenders.

The results of the Ladies Shootout were not available at the time of going to print.
