Covid testing on the move

Netball’s courting windfall

Covid-19 testing has moved location at the Stanthorpe Hospital and is no longer available at the McGregor Terrace entrance.

The new testing site will be open from Monday 7 February, via the Day Street entrance and is available seven days a week from 12.30pm – 2.30pm. No bookings are required.

Darling Downs Health stated: “Testing helps us to quickly find as many cases in the community as possible. This helps us to do everything we can to reduce the spread of Covid-19 in the community.”

Four new multi-purpose netball courts have been constructed at Stanthorpe’s McGregor Park.

Federal Maranoa MP David Littleproud joined an energised netball community at the park last week to officially open the new facility, which replaces unsafe courts that have been unusable for the past two years.

Classes back Students returned to in-person learning on Monday after a two-week delay to the start of the school year.

Education Minister Grace Grace said at Monday’s press conference that 870,000 Queensland students across the government and non-government sector returned to school.

“It’s been a very successful delay, we’ve had many parents who have said it’s enabled their children to get vaccinated – particularly the five to 11-year-olds,” Ms Grace said.

Check-in is out at places like shops and taxis, but people will still need to show their vaccination status to enter certain venues.

People visiting pubs, clubs, cafes and restaurants will still need to check in, and those who are unvaccinated will still not be allowed in.

Ms D’Ath stated in the Monday 7 February press conference that services like taxis and rideshares, as well as retail supermarkets, hairdressers, beauty therapy facilities, gyms, indoor play centres, real estate agencies, auction houses, and more, will no longer require check-ins.

“All of those areas will no longer need to, and any part of government buildings or services where the public ordinarily have access to, will not need to check in now.”

I’m sitting at my desk and I can’t think of anything I’m really annoyed about.

This might be a first. Like in my whole life.

I’m a remarkably opinionated person. I know, you never would have guessed that.

You know what I’m sad about though? The lack of events we’ve attended this year.

I know it might seem hard to believe from my weekly rants, but I’ve always been a bit shy and attending events was something I thought I might actually struggle with as a journalist.

But I found I just really love getting out amongst our community. Maybe it’s you, maybe you’re all just remarkably delightful. I know I didn’t enjoy attending events for the university paper half as much.

I’ve really missed the small community events we normally get to attend which have unfortunately been cancelled recently due to the Omicron wave.

So please, always let us know when there’s an event we might be able to attend and cover. It’s one of the great joys of the job.

I know we have a couple we’ll hopefully attend this weekend, but we always appreciate a call or email letting us know when something is going on.

We’d also love to hear your thoughts on the recent Southern Living edition.

Emily and I are very proud of the new edition, which was inserted in last week’s paper but will also be around town for the next few weeks.

Previously the magazine was looked after by another journalist, with a couple of contributions from our journalists, but we’ve brought it back in-house this year.

We’re full of passion and ideas for the magazine, and hope you will love it as much as we do.

This month’s edition contains more recipes and a bigger entertainment section than previous editions, and also contains one of my favourite stories I’ve covered so far in the region, focusing on Percy’s Fruit and the recent changes happening there.

We’re committing to having the magazine belong to the community just like our paper does, and would love your ideas and contributions.

Granite Belts water CEO L Taylor mentions, in a well-balanced article in Stanthorpe Today 9/12/21: “Based on the dam’s storage of 12,000 ML, the dam (Emu Swamp) would have filled 8.7 times, which is effectively 27 years’ worth of water if the entire annual water allocation of 3,900 ML was used”.

Reading between the lines what Mr Taylor is really saying, the dam is too small to effectively store that amount of water, and that the dam would have to hold 105,300 ML. The size of Emu Swamp cannot be increased. It is also general knowledge that there are sites in the district that can hold that amount of water and more.

Incidentally the 2011 flood would have filled the imaginary Emu Swamp dam about nine times but as it holds so little it would have been well and truly empty by 2021, the same would apply to the massive flood of 1976 - enough water went down the river to have filled Emu Swamp possible 17 times, the amount of water that goes downstream is irrelevant, it is the amount that can be stored that is crucial.

Nobody imagines because Storm King dam overflowed 8.7 times its volume that we have 27 years of water or do they!

Previous councils looked at raising the wall of Storm King dam or building a new dam behind the sawmill, if only just one of these op-

Commending Leanne Manwaring This is to commend Leanne Manwaring from Warwick’s Curves gym for the article last week where she shared her story with such honesty and open-heartedness.

Through the tragic loss of her son and then the pain of divorce she had a great burden of grief to carry.

The article quoted her as saying: “I was overweight, depressed, and not doing very well at life although most people who knew me did not know that.”

This will resonate with many people.

Good on you, Leanne, for showing how regular, moderate exercise in a happy and inclusive environment can improve our mental health and help us all face the dramas that life dishes out.

It would be an interesting exercise to see how many dollars various councils have spent/ wasted on the Emu Swamp site.

I feel tax payers’ dollars would have been better spent on raising the wall on Storm King dam.

Twisted Gum’s twist of fate

By Emily-Rose Toohey Twisted Gum Wines announced that it will temporarily close its doors to the public last Thursday.

The local winery is owned by Tim and Michelle Coelli, and the former said they will reopen at Easter.

“We’d like to stay open, but sales have been good,” Tim said.

“We’re running very low on stock; we’re just about sold out.”

However, Tim said that the couple have held back a number of wines for the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival in late February.

“Apple and Grape is very important for the district,” he said.

“We committed a number of months ago.”

Although Covid-19 has been the cause of other business closures in the area, Tim said Twisted Gum Wines have not been impacted by the pandemic.

“Due to us being a small business, we’re not facing the same constraints compared to other wineries – similar to other predominantly smaller wineries,” he said.

“Us closing is a combination of good production and sales – it’s not new, it’s the same as last year.”

Nonetheless, Tim said himself and Michelle will begin to harvest whites in mid to late February to prepare for their Easter reopening.

The decision was first announced via the winery’s Facebook post.

an invaluable experience that she would take into her work as an intern at Cairns Hospital this year.

“I was greeted with a warm welcome not only at the hospital, but also by the residents of the town,” she said. “I had the opportunity to actively participate in morning ward rounds as well as assist in any surgeries or births happening in the same day. This unique blend of medicine over the course of a single day highlighted the extensive skill set that rural generalists possess and has inspired me for the future.

“Studying medicine at JCU has given us the opportunity to do placements all over Queensland in a wide variety of settings, equipping us with the necessary skillsets upon which to build our careers. I’m excited to now start my career as a doctor in my hometown of Cairns.”

Professor Sarah Larkins, Dean, JCU College of Medicine and Dentistry, said JCU was proud to train doctors “from, in, with, and for rural, regional and remote communities”.

“Around 70 per cent of our students come from rural, regional or remote backgrounds, three-quarters of JCU medicine graduates ‘go rural’ after graduation, and almost half of our graduates are now generalist practitioners, far more than any other university in the country,” Professor Larkins said.

She said despite the graduating class of JCU making up just 2.4 per cent of the national output of doctors, they make up around 50 per cent of rural, regional and remote doctors in Queensland.

Test shift

Dr Eva Gueorguiev and Dr Kathryn Sutcliffe, both James Cook University medical graduates, shone as trainee interns in their finalyear placements at Stanthorpe Hospital.

Each impressed the hospital’s medical superintendent, Dr Daniel Halliday, and clinical pharmacist Kay Knight on their separate placements during 2021.

Dr Halliday said Eva and Katie had set a high standard of expectation: “They are a credit to themselves, JCU’s education and training team and as ambassadors for JCU.” Ms Knight, a Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service research ambassador, said: “They will both make wonderful doctors and have fitted in so well here in Stanthorpe.”

Dr Sutcliffe said she was welcomed to Stanthorpe Hospital so warmly and enjoyed her time so thoroughly that she applied to go back for a 12-week rotation in her intern year.

“The beauty of rural hospitals is that medical students and junior doctors have unbridled access to SMOs or consultants for guidance, mentorship and teaching,” she said. “This was no different at Stanthorpe.

I was privileged to attend early morning teaching sessions and be taught amazing skills like shoulder aspirations and ultrasonography by senior, experienced doctors in Stanthorpe.

“I also was able to enjoy the perks of the beautiful location by going to wineries and exploring the wilderness in winter, although I missed out on seeing any snow, sadly. I am really looking forward to experiencing Stanthorpe in the summer this year.”

All JCU medical students do at least 20 weeks of rural placements during their degree as part of the JCU College of Medicine and Dentistry’s commitment to building a fit-for-purpose medical workforce for underserved communities in Queensland.

Some check-ins scrapped

By Dominique Tassell It was announced on Monday 7 February that the check-in app will not be required at some businesses.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the state was “coming down off the peak”.

The check-in app is now no longer required at places like shops and taxis, but people will still need to show their vaccination status to enter certain venues.

People visiting pubs, clubs, cafes and restaurants will still need to check in, and those who are unvaccinated will still not be allowed in.

Ms D’Ath stated in the Monday 7 February press conference that services like taxis and rideshares, as well as retail supermarkets, hairdressers, beauty therapy facilities, gyms, indoor play centres, real estate agencies, auction houses, and more, will no longer require check-ins.

“All of those areas will no longer need to, and any part of government buildings or services where the public ordinarily have access to, will not need to check in now.”

The Southern Downs region hit over 1000 cases of Covid-19 last week, and at the time of print sits at 1108 cases.

Concerns have been raised over aged care residents and the high number of cases in these facilities.

Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said last week that she was “very concerned” about the number of aged care residents who have not received a Covid-19 booster shot.

“Too many aged care residents are passing away who had not been offered a booster.”

She said she did not know how many facilities in the state had been visited for boosters.

“The Commonwealth reports that currently 100 per cent of all facilities have been visited for vaccinations, but we don’t know how many have been visited for boosters and most importantly, how many residents overall have re-

ceived their booster,” she said.

“I’m hearing from people who say they’re begging managers of aged care facilities to bring people in to vaccinate their loved ones for boosters.”

Distribution of boosters to aged care homes is handled by the federal government, and Ms D’Ath said there is no specific data being released on this.

She did state that only three-quarters of aged care residents have had their booster shot.

“Is that a consent issue? Are they not telling families? Are they not planning ahead so that

families can ensure consent?” she said.

“That’s not good enough to leave potentially a quarter of all residents vulnerable and atrisk and these numbers speak for themselves.”

From February 21, the Novavax vaccine will also be provided in Queensland.

Ms D’Ath stated that “there are discussions at the moment with the Commonwealth as to who will be provided with that Novavax”.

“It is our preferred position that that will go to community pharmacies initially and to GPs, just as Moderna has now ... so that we can make this more business-as-usual as the vaccination program continues to roll out

across the state.”

Dr Gerrard said he couldn’t be sure new strains of Covid-19 would reach Queensland, but that he was confident the state was well prepared for that scenario.

“I’m a glass-half-full kind of person. I’m very heartened by the level of immunity that we now have in our community, but of course anything could happen,” he said.

“These viruses mutate naturally ... they change, they alter, and the level of immunity to one particular strain will change over time.

Whether that leads to a substantial substance secondary wave, we just don’t know.”

More than 3000 jabs administered at recent clinics

By Dominique Tassell More than 3000 doses of Covid-19 vaccination were administered at the recent Darling Downs Health (DDH) vaccine clinics in the Southern Downs.

A total of 3503 jabs were given at the Warwick and Stanthorpe clinics and 1678 vaccinations were administered at the DDH vaccine clinic held in Stanthorpe Civic Centre from Monday 31 January to Friday 4 February.

Of those doses, 1596 were administered to adults. There were 60 first doses, 45 second doses, 1491 boosters administered, and 82 paediatric doses administered.

The week prior, 1825 doses were administered at the DDH vaccine clinic held in Warwick Town Hall from 27 January to 30 January,

FREE

1687 adult doses were administered, with 45 of those being first doses, 56 being second doses, and 1586 being booster doses.

138 paediatric first doses were administered.

With students returning to school on Monday 7 February, Chief Health Officer John Gerrard highlighted the importance of getting boosters.

Dr Gerrard said last week he was not expecting to see an increase in children being hospitalised.

“The bigger risk to the healthcare system from the schools opening is the parents and the grandparents that are being infected from a child,” he said.

“So it is critically important that the parents get in, get vaccinated and the grandparents get that booster.”

Updates on Covid-19 cases in children are now being provided at the daily press conferences.

On Tuesday 8 February, it was reported that 313 children between the age of five and 17 had tested positive for the virus in the last 24 hours and 11 of that age group were in the hospital.

“Most of, if not all of these will be in hospital for a reason other than Covid. So if they have appendicitis and happened to test positive, they will be included in this data, but it will give us some idea of what impact the return of schools has had,” he said.

“There’s been a substantial decline in the number of children infected In the last four weeks.

“What level of immunity that we’ll have created in children as they go back to school

is yet to be seen but we fully expect it will be a rise in cases in the coming weeks, but it will be interesting to see what happens and we’ll be sharing that the data as it arrives with us.”

At the same press conference, Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said the virus had also claimed the lives of 11 First Nations people since the border reopened, and 16,256 people had tested positive.

“Now those 11 deaths obviously are tragic, but I’m pleased to see that we are not seeing a disproportionate number of First Nations people passing away from this virus at the current time, but we are still seeing low vaccination rates in some of our First Nations communities,” she said.

Queensland has now hit its 90 per cent double dose milestone for those aged 16 and over.

Covid-19 by the numbers

By Dominique Tassell

Queensland school students returned to in-person learning on Monday.

Back to the classroom

By Emily-Rose Toohey Students returned to in-person learning on Monday after a two-week delay to the start of the school year.

Education Minister Grace Grace said at Monday’s press conference that 870,000 Queensland students across the government and non-government sector returned to school.

“It’s been a very successful delay, we’ve had many parents who have said it’s enabled their children to get vaccinated – particularly the five to 11-year-olds,” Ms Grace said.

In accordance with the back to school Covid-safe guidelines announced last week, Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) will available at schools and masks are required.

“However, if you’re sick, please don’t come to school,” Ms Grace said.

“We will do all we can in these uncertain times to keep these schools as safe as possible.”

Despite these implemented safety measures, Queensland Education said it has seen a rise in home-schooling since the Covid-19 outbreak.

A home education report said that 3411 primary and high school students were homeschooled in 2019, 4297 in 2020, and 5008 in 2021.

The Department of Education’s Home Education Unit (HEU) oversees the home education registration and reporting process.

However, the department said it has not finalised its 2022 home-schooling numbers.

“So far, applications for the year foreshadow an increase, following a trend,” the Department of Education said.

Regarding in-person learning, Ms Grace said that more than 98 per cent of education staff in Queensland are now fully vaccinated.

“We will ensure over the next four weeks when we’re limiting movement, that we’ll keep an eye on our school communities – they’ll get the support that they need,” she said.

Reported cases of Covid-19 in the Southern Downs have increased by 121 in the last week, down from an increase of around 200 for the past two weeks.

A total of 987 cases were reported in the region on Tuesday 1 February and at the time of print on Tuesday 8 February, 1108 cases were listed.

Cases have gone up on average by around 17 cases per day, down from 27 in previous weeks.

At the time of print on Tuesday 8 February, there are 462,701 total cases in Queensland with 5178 new cases reported.

There were 12 deaths reported overnight, and 705 people are in hospital.

Of those 663, 11 children between the ages of five and 17 are in hospital.

Council finances tabled

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) noted the financial report as of 31 December 2021 at the recent ordinary council meeting.

The quarter one budget review was adopted at the council meeting held on 29 October 2021, with these figures reflected in the report.

The report stated that depreciation expense is in line with expectations as per the quarter one review.

“It should be noted that is significantly above the original budget due to a projected increase in the landfill restoration provision which was recognised at the quarter one review. This has made a significant contribution towards the budgeted operating deficit.”

The report stated that wages expenses are above budget by 9.5 per cent or $1.2 million.

“The biggest contributing factor is the capital wages budget is currently underspent by $3.7 million indicating a larger than expected proportion of wages has been costed to operational expenses.

“This will be monitored and may correct itself if the timing of capital works program moves towards more labour intensive projects.”

The report also stated that material and services are lower than budget by 28.5 per cent.

“This follows a pattern of lower actuals in the first half of the year, however, the variation is significant and needs to be investigated to identify any potential savings.”

Revenue from capital grants is over budget by $7.8 million, according to the report.

“Grant opportunities and the success rate

of applications are not always easy to predict.

The timing and associated recognition of payments received. More detail will be provided at the next budget review.”

The report also stated that interest income is higher than budget due to higher than expected cash balances.

As of 31 December 2021, Council had $60.5m in cash at bank and investments. This amount is higher than the same time for all recent years.

Capital works expenditure to 31 December 2021 is $13.4m which is 23.6 per cent of the adopted capital works budget of $57.03m.

There are committed costs of $9.36 meaning $22.8m has been spent and committed, this represents 40% of the proposed budget.

A staff member spoke in the meeting, stating that the quarter two budget review will come at the next meeting. “I can tell you there’s been about a $300,000 movement in the operating position, the wrong direction, and a fair bit of movement in the capital.”

“It’s probably better presented at an information session,” he said.

He also said wages went up on the operating side but this was “more than offset” by wages not spent on capital projects.

Councillor Andrew Gale stated that he was concerned by the low amount of completed or expenditure done on capital works.

“And, I mean, I recently got a report from the roads alliance as well with Goondiwindi that there’s a similar sort of percentage there,” he stated. He questioned whether it was fairly common for capital works to be down.

A staff member stated that this is “fairly normal for us”.

“The most capital works we’ve ever done in a year is $32 million. And we budgeted $57 million.

“And this year, it’s an identified problem. It’s something we want to address early on in the development of next year’s budget. And hopefully, get budget corrections done before the final quarter this year.”

The motion was moved by Cr Ross Bartley and seconded by Cr Stephen Tancred.

In need of a furry friend? Pets need foster parents now

By Emily-Rose Toohey Southern Downs Ark has experienced a decline in foster parent volunteers since the Covid-19 pandemic.

Southern Downs Ark administrator Kate Keefe said that the organisation rescues pets and takes care of them before adoption, and is always busy as a result.

“We take on pets when people change locations and care responsibilities change,” Kate said. Therefore, she said that the demand for volunteers is high.

“Foster fails is a key reason,” Kate said.

“People can’t keep adopting the pets they foster, but it’s an understandable response.”

She said another reason for dwindling volunteer numbers is elderly foster parents becoming less active.

“It’s also people not satisfying the criteria, like having secure fencing.”

February marks pet rescue month, and Petbarn Foundation Manager Janelle Bloxsom said she hopes this will encourage potential pet parents to adopt.

“Each year post-Christmas, there is an increase of pet surrenders in shelters and

pounds,” Janelle said.

“It’s an issue that results in a higher number of abandoned pets and therefore a rise in euthanasia rates.”

Kate said Southern Downs Ark adopt 900 cats from the pound every year.

“We get lots of people having to surrender their cats because they can’t afford the desexing cost.”

“It’s very expensive – it costs $300.

“We’re trying hard to get the National Desexing Network (NDN) – a low cost desexing program.”

Janelle said over 200,000 dogs are surrendered to shelters each year, and post-Christmas is peak time.

“An estimated 44,000 healthy dogs are euthanised each year, and this number is expected to rise due to the increased rise of pet ownership during the pandemic,” she said.

To increase volunteers at Southern Downs Ark, Kate said the charity is hosting an information session tonight at 5pm at the R.S.L. “Like any organisation, to survive we need new ideas because it gets stale,” she said.

Stanthorpe Show is offiicially going ahead on 23 and 23 of April.

Stanthorpe Show’s a go

By Emily-Rose Toohey After weeks of decision-making, the Stanthorpe Show will officially go ahead on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 of April.

Stanthorpe Agricultural Society president Brett Boatfield said the dates were confirmed after liaising with the Showman’s Guild, and was officially announced on 29 January.

“Thanks to our supporters – it’s going to be a great one-off Autumn Show,” Brett said.

Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) Mayor Vic Pennisi said this outcome is very positive.

“It’s great that it’s still at a time when there’s some product out there that people can display and showcase,” Cr Pennisi said.

“A big component of the show is the fruit and vegetable displays, and they’ll still be around in April.”

“Had the show been in the winter, you would’ve lost that aspect of it.”

The Goombungee Show is occurring on 23 April, the same date as the Stanthorpe Show, meaning there is a schedule clash.

However, Brett said he has been communicating with the Goombungee Show president to make both events possible on the same date.

“It’s going to be good; we’re looking forward to it,” he said.

Both Cr Pennisi and SDRC chief executive Dave Burges said they are supportive of the show’s new dates.

“Well done to the Ag Society,” Mr Burges said.

Most projects ‘on track’

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) noted the contents of the operational plan quarterly review at the recent ordinary council meeting, giving insight into the state of SDRC’s current projects.

Of the 69 projects listed, 44 are “on track” and seven are complete.

Two projects, the community grants program and UDF programs, are on hold.

There are 14 projects identified as “not started yet”, including: The delivery of a RADF program An annual workforce survey A review of sewerage charges Review of parks bookings procedure and service level provided Review of facility hire procedure and service level provided Review of cemeteries services offerings for internments/funerals Two projects, completing 90 per cent of the capital works program and developing a 10year works department works plan, are listed as “needs attention”.

The Local Government Act 2012 requires that council prepare and adopt an operational plan for each financial year. The Local Government Regulation 2012 also requires that council must make assessments of its progress towards implementing its operational plan at regular intervals of not more than three months and that it must discharge its responsibilities in a way that is consistent with the annual operational plan.

Councillor Stephen Tancred asked in the meeting whether council was receiving updates on the Warwick Saleyards funding, which is listed as pending in the report.

A staff member stated he expected the funding to be approved before the election.

SDRC chief executive Dave Burges said, “I have followed up with Minister Littleproud’s

· · · · · ·

office and we’re still awaiting on that advice”.

Councillor Tancred then asked about the item listed in the report as “development of a recreational camping strategy”.

“I’m just wondering if that will be coming to council soon and whether it will come to council and then go out to community, or whether it will go to community and then come back to council?”

A staff member stated that will be coming back to council to be discussed, stating they had been undertaking surveys at council’s camping sites throughout visitor periods.

They stated those surveys would be collated and brought back to an information session.

Councillor Tancred then asked about the item in the report titled “commence implementation of the events strategy”.

He questioned whether the decision to transition from hands-on delivery of events to a “strategic oversight managerial role” would involve more or less staff.

The chief executive clarified that this would not involve any staff.

“We’re just currently looking at what we do in the events space and the large amount of resources it does take up. We believe a better model is that we educate and empower and

assist groups to run their events professionally and in a well manner, but not necessarily do the leg work, the hands-on leg work.”

He stated that they have “fairly scarce resources” and are looking at where they can be best targeted.

Councillor Tancred then asked about the Warwick dragway upgrade, and how sizeable the budget shortfall is.

A staff member said they would have to take this on notice, while the chief executive stated that they are looking into whether they can receive more funding, and if they cannot it is his expectation that the scope of the project will be modified so that it comes under budget.

He stated there are some aspects of the project, such as spectator facilities and access roads, that are flexible.

Councillor Tancred next raised the council’s drought management program, asking whether the survey council is preparing could be brought to councillors first at a workshop prior to it going out to the community.

A staff member stated that they can “absolutely,” do that.

Councillor Tancred then asked about the urban design framework program.

“We’re noting that the Killarney UDF will be

done with in the 2021/22 financial year. Given that we’re almost February and it’ll end in four months, that financial year, have we gone to market to find a consultant for that? And if we have, will we go soon? Because time is sort of running out here.”

The chief executive stated that the Killarney UDF is budgeted to be done in the 21/22 financial year but “we do not have the resources to do that”.

“The planning department is under extreme pressure, record numbers of applications and enquiries as well as that they are considerably short-staffed with staff turnover.

“So it is physically not possible to achieve that by the end of June this year.”

He stated the Killarney UDF will be done this calendar year, but not this financial year.

“It is certainly my expectation that it will be done in the second half of this year,” he said.

Councillor Tancred stated he thinks it a good idea to focus on “bread and butter” work first, but that the Killarney community should probably be alerted.

The chief executive stated that Killarney was going to be the first stop for the connecting with council meeting, however this was reschedule due to Covid.

He expects that Killarney will still be the first stop, and they will discuss the UDF with the community at that meeting.

The other two UDFs being undertaken this financial year are in Dalveen and Pratten.

When asked for an update on these projects, a council spokesperson stated that “Council is currently undertaking amenity seals in Pratten, which aligns with the roads identified for upgrades in the village’s UDF. “Work has been undertaken to identify high priority projects across all existing UDFs, including Pratten and Dalveen, in relation to the budget.”

The motion was moved by Cr Tancred and seconded by Cr Ross Bartley.

Facelift for netball courts Four new multi-purpose netball courts have been constructed at Stanthorpe’s McGregor Park.

Federal Maranoa MP David Littleproud joined an energised netball community at the park last week to officially open the new facility, which replaces unsafe courts that have been unusable for the past two years.

“With a participation rate of over 1.2 million across the country, netball is a sport for all ages, abilities, backgrounds and genders and with these new courts, we have an opportunity for netball to again thrive in Stanthorpe,” Mr Littleproud said.

“The opening of the new courts is about creating social connections through community sport, increasing youth participation rates, and expanding the social and lifestyle opportunities within the Granite Belt region, but the new facility also puts Stanthorpe back in the running to host larger sports carnivals.”

Mr Littleproud highlighted how valuable sports tourism is to regional communities.

“Whether it’s a netball carnival or a junior rugby league carnival it means visitor dollars are flowing into the local economy and making local businesses more buoyant,” he said.

Four netball courts have been finished with an all-weather high-quality resin surface and an added flexibility surface treatment to meet Australian standards.

The project, funded under the Federal Government’s $1.38 billion Building Better Regions Fund (BBRF), supported two jobs during construction. The Australian Government committed $150,850 and Stanthorpe Netball Association provided $45,000 towards the new facility.

“BBRF is about creating jobs, driving economic growth, and building stronger regional communities,” Mr Littleproud said.

“The Australian Government is investing in regional Australia to foster stronger regional communities like Stanthorpe, to ensure the nation’s prosperity continues in the future.”

Artists trek to Country Festival for busking champs Twelve-year-old musician Noah Robertson will make the 1200km trek from Airlie Beach to take his talent busking in the streets this month, joining a host of artists heading to Stanthorpe in a hope of a breakthrough in the music industry.

Stanthorpe’s annual busking championships has earned a reputation for talent finding, with an outstanding record in discovering national busking champions and giving Queensland artists their break into the music industry.

Stanthorpe’s CBD will be alive with busking vibes on Saturday 26 February when it again plays host to the South East Queensland Finals of the National Australian Busking Championships, coinciding with the first weekend of our famed Apple and Grape Harvest Festival.

Young Noah has every reason to be hopeful when he and his proud parents Ali and Ro Robertson roll into Stanthorpe, returning as reigning 2021 Champion in the Junior Category.

“Our buskers often get breakthroughs after appearing in Stanthorpe, like our 2021 runner-up Ollie Twohill who was picked up for his first gig booking at Gympie Muster,” said Busking in Stanthorpe organiser Perditta O’Connor.

“Our homegrown Stanthorpe singer songwriters Nine Year Sister have gone on to bigger gigs since being chosen as our 2020 Winners and acts like The String Family and the Haystack Mountain Hermits credit full-time music careers to their breakthrough in Stanthorpe.”

“Stanthorpe has discovered more than its fair share of Australian National Champion Buskers,” says Allan Spencer, President of the Australian National Busking Championships.

“Four of the National Champions have come out of the Stanthorpe finals.”

The National Championships were founded by Allan Spencer in Cooma, NSW in 2012 and Stanthorpe was the first town outside of Cooma to get involved in hosting regional finals.

“There is literally no limit to the potential for artists who make their start busking. I followed with excitement as ‘Tones and I’ make her break as finalist in the Noosa Busking Championships, which led to an invitation play at the Gympie Music Muster and from there she was picked up by Triple J and on to International success,” reflects Mr Spencer.

Stanthorpe’s Busking Championships is one of the few busking events which has managed to dodge the cancellations which have plagued many events in the past couple of years. “Last year Stanthorpe was one of few busking competitions that went ahead and it’s great to see Stanthorpe again systems go for its 2022 busking,” said Mr Spencer.

Airlie Beach’s up and coming talent, Noah may find his biggest challenge in Stanthorpe choosing which tunes to sing and play on his guitar, his mum Ali revealing how he worked

tirelessly to increase his repertoire last year.

“In 2021 Noah set himself a personal challenge of learning 52 new songs in 52 weeks and uploading them to his Instagram @noahrobbo. Super proud of him completing this challenge without missing a week,” said the proud mum.

The opportunities may be serious in Stanthorpe, but the vibes amongst both performers and coffee sipping onlookers is chilled, embracing the laid-back vibes of Queensland’s premier wine tourism town.

Organiser Perditta O’Connor promises: “We’ve got the seriously talented, but we’ve got the seriously quirky too. ‘Free Radicals Reloaded’ will bring their upbeat Celtic style to the mix on the street and they are a real hoot. I don’t think any of them wear shoes and their music is so great in a quirky way.”

The competition is open to everyone, from

primary school-aged performers to seasoned professionals. Solo singers and musicians, duos, trios and groups of any genre, and nonmusical street entertainers will compete for a share of $6500 in prize money over numerous categories including age categories, best band, judges’ awards and People’s Choice.

Spectators can purchase busking tokens for $1 and vote for their favourites to help choose winner of the People’s Choice Award.

Entertainment can be enjoyed from 9am to 2.30pm at 17 busking stations across Stanthorpe’s CBD, followed by the Finalists Concert from 2.45 pm. As part of the event’s Covid-safe plans, the concert has moved to an outdoor venue this year, with finalists to perform in the open-air Weeroona Park stage and onlookers are asked for just a gold coin donation.

Travellers looking to make a weekend of it will find plenty to do on this first weekend of the 10-day Stanthorpe Apple and Grape Harvest Festival, including a street party, orchard open days, an Italian long lunch and seven open gardens.

Safety upgrades to begin Important safety works to upgrade Pratten’s road network are expected to commence on Monday 21 February 2022, weather permitting.

Sections of Hope Street, Bugden Street, Lester Street, Elliot Street and Ross Street will be bitumen sealed as part of Southern Downs Regional Council’s ongoing commitment to providing safe roads for the community.

The four-week project will operate under traffic-control arrangements and may cause minor delays for road users during construction.

A council spokesperson said that the project team would endeavour to minimise disruptions where possible and urged the com-

munity to be cooperative and vigilant near the road works at all times.

“The safety of road users and our team during construction is paramount and following the directions of on-site staff and signage will go a long way to keeping the site incident-free and completing the project within the expected time frame,” the spokesperson said.

“Our on-site staff will help make sure local residents in the area still have access to and from their properties.

“Council appreciates the community’s cooperation and patience during construction.”

Standard construction hours will be between 6.30am and 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

SDRC signs off on lease for Allora Show Society Inc.

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) approved a lease to the Allora Show Society Inc. at the recent ordinary council meeting.

The lease applied to Lot 1 on SP302786 in accordance with the council lease policy and Section 236 of the Local Government Regulation 2012.

The motion also delegated authority to the chief executive to negotiate and finalise the terms of the lease with the Allora Show Society.

The Allora Show Society has a trustee lease over the reserve for showgrounds, which commenced in July 2018 and expires in June 2028.

Council purchased the freehold land in 2009 for $280,000 primarily for it to be used in conjunction with the adjoining reserve for showgrounds.

The freehold land was originally in three separate parcels described as Lot 21, 22 and 23 on A219 which has now been amalgamated into one parcel being 5.357 hectares.

A lease was granted to the Allora Show Society over the freehold land in July 2009 and expired in June 2018.

There has been no formal tenure over the land since the expiry of the lease. The annual rental was calculated at a commercial rate to be reviewed annually by CPI. A report was presented to SDRC for consideration on 24 March 2021 regarding the lease of the freehold land.

Council resolved to offer a joint lease of the freehold land to the Allora Show Society, Allora and District Campdraft Association Inc. (Campdraft Association) and the Allora Heritage Weekend Association Inc. The lease was to be offered as a commercial lease in line with the previous tenure.

In the meeting, a staff member noted that a meeting couldn’t be made with all three groups and that Allora Show Society then indicated to SDRC they didn’t really want a joint lease.

The Heritage Weekend Association has confirmed they do not want to be involved in the joint lease arrangement and were satisfied with the existing arrangement to hire the facility for events as required.

The Allora Show Society Executive Committee has also changed to include a member of the Campdraft Association so their interests are catered to.

SDRC will receive an annual income of $223.74 including GST for a community lease over the freehold land adjoining the Allora Showgrounds in accordance with the Council Lease Policy.

The motion was moved Cr Marco Gliori and seconded by Cr Stephen Tancred.

Green light for Maroons

Stanthorpe 150 updates acknowledged by SDRC

By Dominique Tassell

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) approved a request for financial and in-kind support from the Queensland Rugby League (QRL) at the recent ordinary council meeting.

QRL will hold a Queensland Maroons Regional Fan Day in Warwick from 5 to 6 July 2022, with the event funded within SDRC’s 2022/22 operational budget.

Councillor Jo McNally questioned in the meeting where exactly the funding was coming from, and whether it was the same “bucket of money” as the community grants funding.

SDRC chief executive Dave Burges stated this would be up to SDRC, and they would make provisions in the upcoming budget.

Councillor McNally stated the recommendation in the agenda needed to change to state this would come out of the 2022/23 budget.

Councillor Stephen Tancred noted that in the correspondence from QRL, “they’re talking about food trucks, sausage sizzles et cetera local music, entertainment”.

“I’m just wondering whether it’s usual to have commercial ventures provide those services or whether we can look to value add and have community groups provide those services?”

A staff member said they would come back with information on this.

Councillor Tancred also questioned whether the proceeds from events such as an evening reception dinner and auction could possibly be amended to go to the entire region instead of just Warwick.

A staff member stated this has been

changed to be rugby league in the Southern Downs region.

Councillor Tancred also raised questions about the Wednesday coaching clinic listed in the correspondence, asking how far students would be brought in for that event.

A staff member stated this could extend to areas like Goondiwindi and Texas.

“It’s a wide region we’re looking at drawing on.”

He stated they were really trying to maximise the event.

Councillor Tancred stated that, in light of this, he would “hate to see someone outside of Southern Downs benefiting from that if our Council is supporting this”.

A staff member said they would talk to QRL. The motion was moved Cr Marco Gliori and seconded Cr Tancred, with Cr Gliori raising that as this event will occur during school holidays this may affect buses.

Updates on Stanthorpe 150 celebrations were noted in a report at the first ordinary council meeting of the year.

Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) noted the minutes of the Stanthorpe 150th Anniversary Celebration Advisory Committee (S150ACAC) Meeting held on 11 January 2022.

SDRC also endorsed the S150ACAC recommendation that SDRC consider the use of the SDRC billboards situated at the northern and southern entrances to Stanthorpe to market the S150 anniversary celebrations.

There is currently a budget allocation of $20,000 for S150 activities. However, this budget allocation also needs to cover costs associated with council’s own S150 event.

The economic development unit has a budget allocation and plans for re-skinning of the billboards for regional promotion in the 2021/2022 financial year.

In the meeting minutes, it was stated that Mary Findlay referred to the discussion about having an event at the Stanthorpe Railway Station as a formal reenactment and noted the importance of the whistle stop building which is of the period.

SDRC Mayor Vic Pennisi confirmed that council officers are looking into doing a reenactment.

It was noted that Stanthorpe Little Theatre has discussed having a “living museum” that would incorporate the Proclamation of Stanthorpe (by the Mayor) and the inclusion ofcouncillors woven into the event.

It was also noted that a promising proposal to a public art project had been received, and discussions were underway with the artist.

Another committee member noted they would like to receive more applications.

Regarding other events, it was noted that many groups may be hesitant to confirm any plans due to Covid-19.

It was also noted that the Governor of Queensland has committed to attending the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival Ball and Grand Parade. The Governor and Queensland Surveyor-General were also discussed as possibly needing an invite.

A week-long festival is being proposed from 13 to 22 May 2022, though this is not confirmed.

The motion to note the minutes was moved by Cr Marco Gliori and seconded by Cr Cynthia McDonald.

Stanthorpe of old: 1877 Stanthorpe’s great ‘tin rush’ Research librarian Christina Ealing-Godbold wrote a piece for the State Library of Queensland about the tin rush to Stanthorpe.

She wrote that “the 1870s saw a great rush to mine alluvial tin at Quart Pot Creek”.

Tin is almost always found closely allied to the granite from which it originates, hence the discovery of tin in the Granite Belt region of Queensland’s Southern Downs (Ealing-Godbold, 2014).

The tin miners came from many different backgrounds, including Chinese.

Tin mining began in Queensland’s north, around Mt Garnet and the Palmer River, but when substantial deposits were discovered near Stanthorpe, a stampede of European and Asian miners made their way south.

However, it was a story of ups and downs.

The Warwick Examiner reported in February 1872, “There is a great stampede to the district, parties on horseback, as well as large numbers on foot, with swags before them”.

A 17 February 1877 edition of The Border Post, titled ‘The Stanthorpe Tin Mines’, recalls the water scarcity during this period.

The following is an excerpt: “The Border Post of the 2nd instant, reports more favourably of these mines than it has been able to do for some months past.

The result of the late rain, says our contemporary, has been the general resumption of operations throughout the field, and although in many cases the supply of water is not equal to the demand, all have more or less benefitted, and the serious consequences of so protracted a drought have been materially alleviated by the opportune pluvial visitation.

As usual, the New South Wales side of the border appears to have come for the greatest share of rain, and we are informed that the various mines in the Herding Yard district have been more than amply supplied.

Such is not the case on the various watercourses from the Main Range on the Queensland side, and we have not the least doubt but that a week’s hot, dry weather, such as that experienced since the cessation of the rains, will reduce the supply obtained to extreme scarcity again.

It is to be hoped, however, now that the ground is well saturated, that occasional showers may replenish our supplies.

The Wheal Edith is still on tribute to a party of Chinamen.

They have during the drought been enabled, by means of an engine, to obtain sufficient water to continue operations on a comparatively small scale.

The supply is now, however, sufficient to obviate this. The yield is poor at present, averaging about three tons a fortnight.

14 TODAY Thursday, 10 February, 2022

Tin miners near Stanthorpe, ca. 1872.

Three faces on the main creek are in progress, and the surface workings, which have continued in operation during the dry weather by the use of pumping machinery, are now partly supplied by the surplus water coming down the race.

In the lower creek workings, the face is now being carried in towards the creek bed, instead of onto the embankment, and the stripping is comparatively light, from five to six feet. In the middle – or main face – the run appears to have taken a turn into the embankment, in consequence of which the workings are necessarily widening out, and stripping deepening, being in this portion about 20 feet. The top face still proceeds downwards, with little alteration in depth or richness, being about 14 or 15 feet.

The yield for the past four weeks has been 64 tons, and the prospects continue equally good.

The Victor has been let on tribute to Mr J. Oarmichael, and operations have been considerably extended, though the scarcity of water has naturally impeded the work to no small degree.

A good supply has not, however, been procured, and the holder seems determined to make the most of it.”

Cobb and Co. Mail arrives at Groom’s Hotel Stanthorpe (1873) the hotel later becoming the site of the post office and telegraph station.

In 1885, the new post office was erected, but subsequently moved back for the residence when the new post office was erected in 1901.

The postal boom of 1878 Communication There’s a timeline between 1872 and 1897 of the increased postal services and offices in the region.

This change was brought about by a population rise in Stanthorpe.

1878 brought two more extended coach mail services and a post office to Pikedale Homestead.

The manager, Mr Donald Gunn, acted as unpaid PM. In 1880, the post office was moved from Pikedale Homestead to Pikedale Road and the new office was put in the charge of Mr Cussen.

The same year a post office at Pikedake Reefs in the far north-west of the district’s newly found gold fields was opened.

The office was attached to the Eureka Hotel, in the Machine Township and the proprietor Mr E. Lynch was postmaster for one month, followed by Mr J. Stanley.

It is interesting to note that Mr Donald Gunn in ‘Links with the Past’ refers to helping his mother in the Pikedale homestead store, selling rations to travellers.

Some possessed gold from the north-west of the Stanthorpe district, which they exchanged for rations.

This shows that some knew of its whereabouts long before the beginnings of the 1878 gold rush to the area.

Prior to this, historians Jean Harslett and Mervyn Royle wrote that the Granite Belt public desired an effective communication system.

The following is an excerpt from their book, ‘They Came to a Plateau (1980)’.

Within the text, it really highlights the immense, centuries long gender pay imbalance experienced by women in the workforce: “From 10th June 1872 mail was distributed from an annex to Mr Henry George’s store and Mr George appointed as postmaster.

However, it is said that his handsome wife officiated.

Mr George’s store was situated off Maryland Street and below Central Hotel next door to Sheahan’s Butchery.

By November the dissatisfaction of the residents was still apparent.

It was stated in the Courier, “the post office is a ‘miserable shed’ attached to George’s Store, but is quite in proportion to the ‘miserable salary’ of the postmaster. This is simply disgraceful to a government, every member whom must be aware of the large amount of correspondence, which passes through Stanthorpe.”

Thomas Murray Prior reports to parliament in 1972, with regard to Stanthorpe that “owing to the impetus give to trade by mineral discoveries, and the settlement of populations, in localities here-to-fore uninhabited, consider-

The Cobb and Co. Mail Coach pauses for a change of horses, and passengers alight for lunch at the fox home at Boonoo Boonoo. able additions have to be made to mail communications and services.”

This is substantiated by figures of letters received and dispatched nun 1872: 8004 and 9250, respectively, increasing in 1873 to 31,456 and 35,930, respectively.

Money order facilitates were provided in July 1872.

Mr George carried on until 1 March 1873 when the office was moved and elevated to official status with Mr T.S. Henzell as postmaster.

With greater responsibilities developing from additional office work, the salary was increased to 250 pounds per annum.

Mr John Bradford the Mr Jonas Ward and Mr Trevor Llewellyn were assistant clerks.

The Government Gazettes of January 1873 showed the site of the post office reserve to be No. 20 Section 3, which was on the corner of Locke Street, at the entrance to the park.

In April 1873, complaints were being made that the post office was in an out of the way part of town.

By November 1873, the new post office was opened with plans for a savings bank business added by the end of the year, shortly to be housed in the premises at Groom’s Hotel.

In March 1978, Mr T.L. O’Mahoney became postmaster and in July 1883 his wife Mrs O’Mahoney became postmistress, and, as was the order of the day, her salary was reduced by

Mr Henry George’s Store (right). He opened a post office in an annex on 10 June 1872, situated off Maryland Street below Sheahan’s Hotel, near the site of the Civic Centre. half for a lady employee.

Mrs O’Mahoney was associated with the Stanthorpe Post Office for nearly 20 years and was respected for her courtesy and efficiency.

Indicative of the esteem in which she was held, when her cousin Lord Lamington (Governor of Queensland) visited Stanthorpe, three major welcome arches were built and

spanned Maryland Street.

Messrs Jim Wren, Dave Reid and Dave Petrie were largely responsible for their construction of green bush timber curved into arches and decorated with bracken fern, cypress pine and dozens of tree ferns from Rivertree.

Large calico signs read “Welcome to Stanthorpe.”

1879: History of hostelry The Stanthorpe local government division was proclaimed in 1879 at a time when tin prices were fluctuating but deciduous fruit growing was found to be profitable.

Prior to this, the 1870s saw a hotel business boom.

“They Came to the Plateau” (1980) authors Jean Harslett and Mervyn Royle detail part of this boom below: History of hostelry “During the early nineteen hundreds, when Stanthorpe’s climate was being hailed at the ‘Sanitorium of Queensland’, hotels of high class were rebuilt to offer accommodation to please the most fastidious tourist or seeker of a salubrious summer climate.

Mining was thirsty work and for those that liked it milder, 1872-73 saw the arrival of several cordial manufacturers, Spriggs and Higgins were first in this field of business.

Quite soon Mr William George Clifford took over their business and the name of Clifford Cordials has stood the test of time.

Up to the present day, the business has been carried on by the descendants of Wm. Clifford.

Mrs Mary Brown and Thomas Murray were others listed as cordial manufactures.

Stables were usually associated with hotels and were “many and numerous”.

Some names especially come to mind.

Cobb & Co. had stables at the Four Mile and Wilson’s Downfall.

H. Ashcroft Livery and Bait Stables, Stuart & Parkes, late J.P. Stuart opened business at the rear of Groom’s Hotel under the title of Pioneer Livery Stables.

The Melbourne Livery Stables were run by R.T. Banbury, Carrigg’s Stables and Hartigans were known until comparatively recent times.

In addition to the numerous hotels there were also six Boarding Houses.

Surely few towns could have been better catered for in these lines of business.

Much research has gone into the locating licenses and sites of Stanthorpe Hotels.

In 1879, two Chinese Hotel keepers were listed though neither the location nor names of the hotels are listed, the proprietors, however, were James Foo Hang and Ah Gin.”

The Commercial Hotel, on this site the first hotel in the new Tin Town was established by Mr T. Kelly.

On to the border in 1880 On to the border By the end of 1880, the line to Cherry Gully had been completed and the line opened with Cherry Gully as a temporary terminus.

There were two hotels, and numerous other business enterprises.

In the first three weeks there were 278 tickets sold, and 391 inward passengers.

The chief engineer paid tribute to the contractors for having completed the line only fives weeks behind contract date, in the face of somewhat exceptional difficulties.

Within a few months Messrs Garget and Co. had pushed the line through to Stanthorpe and preparations were made for the opening of the line.

There were, however, some unauthorised passengers before the line opened.

Six boys aged between 10 and 14 years were charged with trespassing after they took a trolley a couple of miles down the line.

The court’s sentence was a shilling fine or default six hours in the lockup.

As befitted the terminus of the Southern Line there was an imposing set of buildings – passenger station, then on the eastern side of the line, a goods shed (built by John Garget & Co. at the cost of 570 pounds and 580 pounds, respectively) engine shed, carriage shed (built by A. Midson for a contract price of 290 pounds), stationmaster’s house (also built by A. Midson for 407 pounds) repairman’s cottage and gatekeeper’s cottage.

The first train carrying the visitors departed from Toowoomba at a quarter to 8am on Tuesday morning, May 3 1881, and arrived in Stanthorpe at 1.30pm with more than 750 passengers.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK

MIDSOMER MURDERS ABC TV, Friday, 8.30pm

There are all sorts of players in detective dramas, from petty criminals, to untrustworthy relatives and dodgy businessmen. But when you’re searching for the most entertaining type of murder mystery character, it’s undoubtedly the psychic. This week, Midsomer Murders fans are probably inwardly tap-dancing in delight at the premise of the long-running series latest murder puzzle, “The Witches of Angel’s Rise”. Featuring psychics, occult followers and mediums, it has spooky covered. After a woman’s body is found surrounded by ritual symbols on the eve of a psychic fair, DCI Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon, pictured) and DS Winter (Nick Hendrix) are plunged into the spiritual world.

RUGBY LEAGUE Nine Network, Saturday, from 4pm

Footy fans can rejoice; the game is back with a triple header to kick-off the 2022 season. After the pandemic played havoc with fixtures and venues last year, Sydney is for the first time hosting the showpiece All Stars event, with a men’s contest, a women’s clash and even a touch football game. Live from CommBank Stadium, the Indigenous All Stars (including South Sydney playmaker Cody Walker, pictured right) will take on the Maori All Stars (featuring Penrith prop James Fisher-Harris, pictured left) in a lively match, with spectators sure to be fired up and in good spirits. The event will hopefully mark the start of a season that returns some semblance of normalcy to passionate fans across the country.

MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT Nine, Monday, 7.30pm

You vowed and declared that you wouldn’t be watching this latest series of melodramatic matrimony, but after one glimpse of the eye-catching cast your resolve miraculously dissolved like a wayward dose of botox. This season, the brides and grooms are as ambitious, outspoken and as game for a fight – and affair – as ever. It’s sassy, superfluous TV at its lowbrow best. Resident sex therapist Alessandra Rampolla’s (pictured) second-ever intimacy week begins with some couples blooming, while others struggle to connect, both physically and emotionally, with their partners. Whether you tune in for the slim chance of a love story, or the thrill of the petty squabbles and flirting, there’s almost something for everyone.

FRAMED SBS, Tuesday, 9.30pm

Sometimes, the truth really is much stranger than fiction. When awardwinning journalist, presenter and podcaster Marc Fennell (pictured) learnt about the infamous theft of Picasso’s Weeping Woman in 1986 from the National Gallery of Victoria, he was gobsmacked and, in true journalist style, needed to find out more. This four-part true-crime doco launched on SBS On Demand late last year and it’s plain to see why it has become their most successful digital series ever: it’s a largerthan-life riddle which is amazingly still yet to be solved. In tonight’s first episode, the bizarre art theft, complete with outlandish ransom notes, is given the fine-tooth comb treatment.

Endeavour delivers free rapid tests to employees Endeavour Foundation will give its 4000 staff free Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) in a bid to slow the spread of Covid-19 transmission and curb potential outbreaks in its disability services, they announced late last week.

Each staff member working for the disability service provider and its subsidiaries will be given two RATs – either handed to them at work or sent to their home address.

The initiative will cost in excess of $100,000.

Endeavour Foundation chief executive David Swain said staff and the people they support could already be tested for free at the organisation’s services, but testing at home would greatly reduce the chance of transmission from staff who are positive.

“We want to curb the transmission of this virus so we don’t see the outbreaks in disability services that we’ve been seeing in aged care,” Mr Swain said.

“We’re asking staff with symptoms to test at home so if they are positive, they don’t come into work in the first place.

“Stopping just one Covid-positive staff member from going to work could prevent people we support getting very ill or even dying.

“The safety of the people we support and of our staff is our highest priority and we’re putting them first with this initiative.”

Mr Swain said the move to protect both people supported by Endeavour Foundation and staff was made possible through the generosity of donors and supporters.

“When you support Endeavour Foundation through our prize home lotteries, regular donations, or the Great Endeavour Rally, you are enabling us to improve the lives of people with a disability.

Get ready to hit the floor Endeavour Foundation chief executive David Swain.

“We would not be able to fund this initiative if it was not for your support, so thank you,” he said.

The Blue Light Dance Party is returning to Stanthorpe, with the first dance of the year to be held on 18 February 2022.

The dance will be held in St Paul’s Church Hall on Corundum Street.

The event is open to students in prep to year 6 and will run from 6 pm to 8 pm.

Entry is $5.

A canteen will provide students with hot food, snacks and drinks.

There will also be lucky door prizes.

This is a fully supervised and drug and alcohol-free event.

Parents are welcome to stay for the disco

but will need to comply with current Covid-19 directions; meaning they must check-in, show proof of vaccination, and wear masks while inside the venue.

It is a condition of entry to this Blue Light Event that any photograph, film, tape or other images taken of you whilst at the venue will be taken for the purpose of, and may be used, to help promote the QBLAI and its not for-profit activities. These images may be published, broadcast, or otherwise distributed by QBLAI in any media (with or without identification) and in publications within as well as outside Queensland, for example, our website and newsletters.

A coming of age story

By Emily-Rose Toohey Coming of age movies are an inescapable part of a person’s ‘growing up’ experience.

Whether you saw the classic John Hughes films of the 80s or 2004’s quotable, extremely iconic Mean Girls, the teen genre has been around for years and depicted to every generation.

The Fallout fits into this category.

However, unlike a majority of its predecessors, the film showcases a particularly dark look into coming of age narrative and is a perfect encapsulation of 21st century angst.

The Megan Park directed film was released on 26 January on Binge.

It follows Vada, an American high school

student, as she deals with the aftermath of a school shooting.

In Australia, this is a problem we very fortunately don’t have to worry about.

But for the average US student, well, it’s very much a concern and happens a staggering amount of times every year.

It’s a horrifying thought: imagine being concerned that one day at school, you could be killed?

The film does an excellent job at conveying this angst in the capable hands of Disney Channel alumni, Jenna Ortega.

She conveys the devastation expertly in an impressive performance for the young star onthe-rise.

Maddie Ziegler, another former child star, showcases an equally capable acting ability in the supporting role of Mia. In all honesty, this is not easy viewing – tissues are recommended.

Park’s tender and insightful script and direction offer a look into the terrifying reality of school shootings, and how one person with a gun can, “mess up your life so hard”, to quote Vada directly.

After watching the character’s downward spiral and eventual baby steps towards recovery, just as you think Vada’s moved on, she gets a mobile notification.

It’s a news report.

This news report says teenagers have died

during a school shooting – a different school shooting.

The film ends with Vada’s desperate cries as the realisations sinks in: there will be constant reminders of her trauma.

This reflective ending is what makes the movie.

While it depicts one person’s story, Vada’s not alone in her experience.

And that’s the terrifying truth.

This reviewer highly recommends the film in order to experience what’s sure to become a generation defining piece of coming of age media.

The Fallout is available on Binge and Foxtel for streaming.

Hand-in illegal firearms The Morrison Government has partnered with Crime Stoppers Australia for this year’s National Illicit Firearms Campaign, keeping Australians safe by removing illegal guns from the community.

During the three-month campaign, a range of community engagement and promotional events in regional and metropolitan communities across Australia will encourage people to share what they know about illegal guns, and to safely surrender any they may have in their possession.

Minister for Home Affairs Karen Andrews said the Morrison Government was committed to keeping Australians safe by stamping out gun violence in our communities.

“Illegal guns are more likely to be used in crime, more likely to be defective or insecurely stored, and more likely to be involved in accidents. There is no excuse – indeed no legitimate reason – for anyone in Australia to have an illicit firearm,” Minister Andrews said.

“Our message today is simple – if you have an illicit firearm, do the right thing; do the right thing by your friends, family, and community; do the right thing by yourself – hand it in. If you surrender it, you can do so without penalty. The alternative is a knock on your door from the police and the potential for se-

rious criminal penalties, including imprisonment.”

Assistant Minister for Customs, Community Safety and Multicultural Affairs Jason Wood said the campaign will target illegal gun owners by encouraging families, friends and anybody else who may have information to speak up and share what they know with Crime Stoppers before it’s too late.

“You may think you know a person well, but owners of illegal guns have not been subject to background checks and may not be on the

radar of police.

“This year’s National Illegal Firearms Campaign is part of an increased push to encourage owners of illegal, unregistered and unwanted firearms, parts and accessories to hand them in to be registered or destroyed.”

“With over 260,000 unregistered guns estimated to be in circulation in Australia, it is important for the community to step up and share information they know or suspect about an illegal gun.”

“In the criminal underworld, the weapon of choice is an illegal firearm. In many cases, criminal gangs will target individuals who have illegal firearms to gain access to weapons,” Assistant Minister Wood said.

Crime Stoppers Australia Chair, Dr Vince Hughes, said all Australians should consider how they would feel if they had information about an illegal gun that was then used to harm or kill someone.

“Criminals often go to great lengths to obtain a firearm illegally and then conceal it from authorities, and it’s unlikely they would go to that effort unless they are prepared to use it,” Dr Hughes said.

“With the Commonwealth Government, police services across the country and Crime

Stoppers working together on this campaign, you need to surrender that gun now or risk being reported by someone who has information about you.”

“Australia is certainly not immune from the devastating impacts that come with having illegal firearms in the hands of criminals.

We have seen the tragic loss of life and severe injuries that occur when people turn a blind eye and allow illegal firearms to remain in the community,” he said.

“The demand for illegal firearms is driven by organised crime groups right through to low-level individual criminals, who want and use firearms to protect their interests and to commit violent acts.”

“If you suspect that someone has an illegal gun, share what you know with Crime Stoppers before it is too late. Report safely without the need to say who you are, get involved, or put yourself at risk of harm.”

To share information about an unregistered or illegal gun, contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or go online at crimestoppers.com.au/ illegalguns Further information, including the process to surrender a gun in each state or territory, is available at crimestoppers.com.au/firearmamnesty

A rare dining experience

By Dominique Tassell Locals looking for an exceptional dining experience can find what they’re looking for at Rupert’s Bar & Grill in Warwick.

The restaurant, situated next to Coachman’s Inn on 19 Wood Street, is open to the public as well as motel guests.

A unique dining experience, it fills the otherwise empty spot of an intimate modern restaurant in Warwick.

Head Chef, Darren Gibbs, started with the restaurant early last year.

Darren has 34 years of experience and an impressive resume to boot.

We sat down with him to talk about his experience and his vision for the restaurant.

Darren started working as a chef when he was 16 years old and stated that he hated his first job working as an apprentice on Hamilton Island, but realised the art of cooking came naturally to him.

He says confidence is imperative as a chef, and that comes naturally to him.

“I know what I’m doing in the kitchen.”

His work at Queensland Cricket, where he was the Executive Chef for eight years, has left him able to take on pretty much anything in the kitchen.

He’s cooked for prime ministers and ath-

letes and says working there was the best eight years of his life.

For Darren, it’s important to identify what customers want.

“Our menu is ever-changing,” he says.

He wants to try new things but doesn’t believe in cooking food people don’t understand.

On Wednesdays and Fridays, the restaurant gets in fresh fish for their fish of the day and every day they prioritise the quality of their ingredients.

“Fresh seafood is important, and we get our meat from John Dee.” Darren says they kept the menu small to begin with, but now can do something for everyone.

He can make meals for any sort of dietary requirement, noting he got plenty of experience catering to these in his past jobs.

“It’s about making people happy,” he said.

“People come here for an experience.”

Darren says he wants locals to be able to go to Rupert’s and relax with some quality food.

“I’m very proud of what we’ve done here.”

The restaurant is perfect for any kind of special occasion, or just a regular day you want to feel a little more special, but Darren says locals looking for somewhere to go on Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day will definitely find what they’re looking for at Rupert’s.

On Valentine’s Day, the restaurant will be offering its regular menu as well as some special additions.

Darren has organised two special entrees, two mains, and two desserts for the occasion.

He’s also planning a special Mother’s Day brunch.

Rupert’s Bar & Grill is open Tuesday to Saturday, with a happy hour from 5pm to 6pm.

Public holidays may be excluded and it is best to contact the restaurant directly to confirm with them.

Rural Links This week on the farm

By Judy Barnet, Ag Columnist A visit had been planned to meet up with friends Marnie and Alex at the Highfields Pioneer Village on Saturday. We were to go down Friday after work, stay at the village, then travel home Saturday afternoon. We left as planned and as we headed out of Warwick I said to Richie, “Did you look at the ‘97 LandCruiser I sent you the link for on Facebook?”

We, well I to be more precise, had been wanting to get rid of the Patrol for a while as it was gutless when it came to towing.

“Look at all the bells and whistles it has,” I said to him. Rock Sliders – I didn’t have a clue what they were.

A supercharger – not much idea about that either. An old man emu two inch lift – a bit worried about my short fat legs climbing in here. And the whole car is sprayed in sandy taupe raptor liner – had to look this one up on Google. We could go and have a look tonight, stay in the big smoke and head up to Toowoomba early tomorrow morning? I think he knew that he wouldn’t get any peace until he agreed to sell the Nissan and buy a Toyota, and this LandCruiser at $16K was way less expensive than the later model Sahara I had previously mentioned at the Cheap Car Co. With a quick call to confirm that an 8pm inspection was amenable to the owner we changed track just past the Eight Mile and headed off to Bahrs Scrub.

On inspection, Richie pronounced the vehicle to be very well maintained so we headed off to find a motel having agreed to take the beast for a test drive at 6.30am the next morning. Getting into the vehicle the next morning did indeed prove a challenge but I did eventually manage a very undignified clamber into the passenger seat.

The supercharger emitted a fair bit of noise on the drive but other than that Richie declared the beast to handle well.

We did stop into the Cheap Car Co. before heading up to Toowoomba where we found the salesman to be arrogant and disinterested, so after a quick look at the Sahara which looked like it had seen a bit of beach work I quickly decided that I would not be buying from such an arrogant individual.

Richie called Matt, the LandCruiser owner, negotiated a price and sealed the deal. We are heading back to the big smoke to pick her up later this week. I did have to promise Richie I would be happy with this vehicle for the foreseeable future though! So if you see a headturning LandCruiser in Warwick with a short middle-aged lady climbing in by standing on a milk crate you will know who it is.

Back to Toowoomba. We commenced on our tour of the Pioneer Village, warning Mar-

Firstly we checked out the Big Cow, one of my favourite displays, and then gradually worked our way up towards the shearing shed when along the way we spotted Ray Ashford (OAM), the manager (and founder) of the Pioneer Village. Ray kindly offered to show us a project he was working on which was the restoration of a Model T Ford Bus. Ford did not actually make a bus at this time - commercial chassis were not available in Ford until 1919. Prior to this, if die-hard Ford people wanted a truck they had to buy the Smith Form-a-Truck adaption kit. The Ford promotional brochure advised that a good man and a good apprentice could fit it in a day but I believe this was pretty hard to achieve. The Form-a-Truck kit would have comprised of a heavy axle for the back of the bus and a three speed transmission to go behind the original gearbox, so thus ending up with a six peed truck or bus. The Smith Motor Co in Chicago also made Smith motor cars as well as the form-a attachments for other trucks. In the mid-1920s cars were hard to sell after the war and not many commercial trucks were available before the 1930s so many of the cars were converted to trucks via the Form-A-Truck conversion. The bus Ray has built from little more than a chassis (no wheels or body) will be eventually used to ferry passengers on a tour of the village. It will carry approximately 18 adults or 24-30 children.

Ray also showed us a reconstructed buried bridge more than 150 years old that was originally opposite where the information centre is located in James Street. A team of 20 archaeologists were present when the bridge was dug

up and they found an amazing array of stuff including the timber box culvert that directed the water away from the bridge – a very different technique than we use today. When unearthing the bridge another bridge was found beneath it. It was called a corduroy crossing bridge and was built by laying logs across ways, thought to have been from the mid1850s. When they dug that up they discovered the remains of yet another bridge that was dated to around the 1840s. Old bottles, bricks, shoes are on display dated pre-1860. Fredrick Stein was the builder of the bridge in 1861 and his wife opened it in 1862.

Stein also designed the first town hall in Toowoomba and it was the first purpose-built building in Queensland. The Toowoomba Municipal Council was formed in 1860 and this was one of the first projects they commissioned. They also commissioned two brothers to clear the stumps from Ruthven Street.

This took the brothers a whole year so you can imagine how heavily timbered Toowoomba was back then.

As part of the bridge project, every item was numbered and photographed before it could be moved. The bridge was donated to the village by main roads who paid for it to be transported to the pioneer village. They appointed Ray to be the project manager and conducted regular inspections of the restoration work.

Other displays at the Pioneer Village that originate from the Southern Downs include a seed grader donated by my neighbours, Lynton and Belinda Hollit. A working miniature train was recently purchased from a clearing sale at Killarney and also the Upper Forest Springs School. The Gore Railway Station complete with carriages and track also

resides at the village.

Regarding Ray, I have never in my life met a man with so much historical knowledge, nor a man that can single-handedly rebuild a historic vehicle from little more than a pile of nuts and bolts, making and engineering most of the parts himself. He is also incredibly humble. I think this is what makes the village, which is run entirely by volunteers, work so well. Everyone is made to feel valued and a part of the family. The work the volunteers do is acknowledged and appreciated. I believe the village to be a world-class attraction. Most of you will know I have been volunteering at the village for around 20 years.

Back at the farm, I am still not happy with the lambs. They just don’t look like they are “doing”. I collected more poo samples yesterday and posted them down to the Paraboss Lab at Armidale. My annual sale is in April so I really need to get them looking good for me to take photos and videos in the next few weeks. I am still struggling with the AI of the cows – no progress there yet. I will have to let them out of the paddock this week as they have eaten it right down, however, this means it will be even harder to detect them on heat and get them inseminated. The plan is to put them in the yards this weekend and apply hot cow patches on their backs – these have a paint bubble that bursts when they are mounted by a bull. I will need the quad bike to be working though if I am to have any chance of finding them, as they need to be checked twice a day.

I am really proud of the calves. They are sleek and shiny and must be putting on at least 1kg per day. They are eating around 4kg of grain per day each They are way too big for the sheep scales so it is all guesswork as to what they weigh now.

I have noticed a large number of dragonflies around lately. Some are a bright and vibrant orange, some more grey, but the ones that have really caught my eye are the gorgeous powder blue ones. They are not just down at the dam, I seem to see them everywhere. I haven’t yet succeeded in getting a good photo of one yet though.

You will be pleased to know I have found a home for some of the ducklings after mentioning them last week, much to CJ’s disappointment as she is quite attached to them. I am dropping them off to a local Stanthorpe lady this weekend and buying a billy goat from her to boot! I am looking forward to having a beautiful Kalahari red buck. Sue crosses her Rangeland goats with Boers and Kalaharis but has a few full-bloods as well. Like me, Sue is taken with the Rangeland’s hardiness and ability to rear their kids without any problems. Unlike mine though, Sue’s goats are all quiet and well behaved. They are a real credit to her.

Livestock agent ROSS ELLIS of McDougall and Sons brings us an update on the local lamb and cattle markets from last week.

Livestock markets update The sales continued this week with agents yarding 695 head of cattle for the weekly sale and then at the sheep and lamb sale Agents yarded 3107 head for the sale.

National Regenerative Agriculture Day 2022

Drought support Maranoa MP David Littleproud is encouraging rural residents to find out what support is available to them at Community Outreach Events coming soon to Wallangarra and Stanthorpe.

The events will be held in Stanthorpe Civic Centre on Monday 21 February from 2pm to 6pm, and in Wallangarra School of the Arts Hall on Tuesday 22 February from 10am to 2pm.

Organised and funded by the Federal Government’s National Recovery and Resilience Agency, and in partnership with Rotary Australia, the community outreach program is designed to provide support and advice to farmers and farm workers.

Mr Littleproud said the events at Stanthorpe and Wallangarra will deliver a one stop shop for support services and information.

“These events are a great opportunity for farmers, families and community members to catch up with friends and neighbours and find out what support is available,” he said.

“The aim is to ensure our communities are given the right information, advice and options to prepare and recover from drought, flood and bushfire now and into the future.”

Rotary will also be distributing $500 vouchers to drought-affected households and conducting community well-being activities.

The National Recovery and Resilience

Agency works hand-in-hand with communities, all levels of government, charities and agricultural organisations to support farmers and rural and regional Australians living

through the immediate and longer-term effects of bushfire, drought and flood.

FOCUS ON … REAL ESTATE

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS - HISTORIC HOTEL PROMINENTLY situated in the centre of Stanthorpe is this Majestic Old Girl in all its former glory... built in 1915 of triple and double brick construction.

Formerly the Commercial Hotel and birthplace of Viscosity Cocktail Bar that is now a must to visit in Brisbane.

If you have ever wanted to get out of the big smoke and be part of one of the fastest growth areas in Queensland, then this is your opportunity.

There are so many uses for this building because of its location within the famous Granite Belt Wine Region.

Fully equipped commercial kitchen (Lic. under Foodsafe), two fully equipped bars (current Lic. in place), full 40+ seat dining area, good size lounge with open fireplace, guest dining and fantastic kitchen.

Now let’s take a walk upstairs to eight fully fitted out guest rooms and two bathrooms plus a two-bedroom manager residence.

While upstairs, take in the view from the huge wrap-around verandah that allows your guests to soak up the Stanthorpe atmosphere.

The future income for this building is only limited by your imagination... maybe a Gin Distillery, Wedding Venue, Micro Brewery or just a magnificent home.

Land Size: 948.00 m².

Love for tea

By Jeremy Lister I really enjoy drinking tea. I know that it is a bit unusual for a 10-year-old to like tea, but because I’ll be 11 this month maybe it isn’t quite so unusual.

I think I get the liking for tea from my dad because he has these giant cups of tea many times a day.

The cup is like a litre so it’s good that the water restrictions are over, and he needs to have three tea bags in his cup so it is strong enough.

He even has a giant cup in his office in Stanthorpe and one down at parliament too, so that he can have his tea down there. Everybody laughs at his tea bucket but it suits him.

I like having my tea from a pot made with leaves because I think it tastes better that way.

And I also like my tea to be a special occasion when I take plenty of time making it and drinking it in little tea cups and using a tea cosy to

keep the tea pot warm.

I like how the tea looks orange when it comes out of the pot and into the cup. My favourite brands are Yorkshire Tea and Dilmah Tea. Dad showed me an old 1980s TV ad for Dilmah Tea on Youtube which had this singer called Kamahl in it which made us laugh.

Dad only gets to drink tea from Bushells tea bags at work and he says that I’m spoilt for getting such nice tea. But I think if he wants to drink so much at once he needs to use the cheap version and not some special tea like mine.

I want to travel to England one day and visit Yorkshire and maybe go to the Yorkshire Tea factory at Harrogate. While I’m there I would like to visit the place in Yorkshire where they filmed an old English comedy show called Open All Hours. It was about a greedy shopkeeper and his nephew who also worked in the shop and it was really funny.

Orienteering sprint event on course for Warwick After a good roll up to their first event of the year held in Queens Park in Warwick on Sunday, the Bullecourt Boulder Bounders will be conducting another sprint event next Sunday 13 February at the Warwick Showgrounds.

The club’s publicity officer Liz Bourne said that they had produced a new orienteering map of the showgrounds and competitors would enjoy navigating around its buildings and yards.

“Sprint orienteering is a good way for people to learn the basic map reading and navigational skills in a safe environment before they venture out to bush events,” Liz said.

Casey O’Connor

Lamenting Langer’s loss Much has been said and written around the debacle that was Justin Langer’s resignation.

None of us know what the mood behind the scenes has been like in the Australian camp, however, if it is as bad as we have been fed then the Australian players are in the wrong game.

They might be good players, but they are even better actors.

I feel Pat Cummins lost some of his shine through the whole sorry saga and did not emerge smelling of roses.

I can sense the vibes as our sub-editor south of the border will be up in arms (she, being the number one card carrying fan of Pat).

Having said that, CA also left Cummins hang out to dry. Why did all this happen? Because of the failure of CA to do some succession planning.

All in all, it is a sorry end to a stunning season. There was one good thing that went almost unnoticed and that was Justin Langer’s elevation into the Hall of Fame.

I suspect CA CEO Nick Hockley’s tenure may be relatively short-lived if things go South from here.

Serious questions should also be asked of the navel gazers who make up the Board of CA. The whole sorry mess has me not interested in the team heading to Pakistan for an historic series.

I might even find myself having to watch more figure skating or ice dancing. But never fear – the NRL season is hurtling towards us and if all else fails there is always the upcoming All Stars game.

- Casey

FROGS ON TOUR A chance chat with Stanthorpe local and former Aussie Rules player Max Hunter early this week led to a discussion around mateship and memories and traditions created and forged on sporting arenas.

Queensland Origin may have its FOGS (Former Origin Greats) but this is about the FROGS (Four Rotten Old Golfers).

As Max prepares to head off to join and join the Frogs on tour he contributed the following.

Mateship and memories remain highly evident and quite strong in the 1972 premiership winning team of Wilston Grange Australian Rules Football Club, based at Hickey Park, Stafford, in Brisbane. The club has a rich history of varied success stories documented and published in a highly presentable, limited-edition book, called ‘Inside the Gorillas Den’.

Every club, back in the 70s had legends, and Wilston Grange, did and still has, many notables who have maintained and developed ongoing traditions, such as The Frogs.

In 1987, a few handy footballers, who also possessed single figure golf status, would select a destination, and play golf at random courses, along the way.

This became known as golf course crawling, as opposed to pub crawling. The original trekkers were Barry Clarke, Syd Guildford, and David Craig.

To give you an idea of what is considered legendary by Aussie Rules standards, Barry Clarke played over 400 AFL games, 226 with WG, won two QAFL Grogan Medals, represented Queensland on 17 occasions, and also coached numerous times.

Syd Guildford played 333 games for WG, (Qld Record), played 31 games for Qld, (Aust.

Record), and also coached at various times.

The third member, David Craig, ex Nth Melbourne, Kangaroo, was also pretty handy at climbing opponent’s shoulders and delivering 70 metre bombs.

In 1998, Barry Clarke organised a group of four golfers, (three hackers), who ventured to the Murray River. They stayed and played for

Stanthorpe local Max Hunter (centre) pictured with FROGS, Barry and Rick - the trio epitomize what the FROGS are all about - Mateship and Memories and Traditions as well as Frustrated Rotten Old Golfers. five days and travelled home.

They were the original ‘FROGS’. Frogs was originally the acronym for, Four Rotten Old Golfers. It has since morphed to Frustrated Rotten Old Golfers.

Twenty-four years later the tradition continues. Tour numbers vary and there can be up to 28 Frogs on tour.

Next week, at the Sunshine Coast (due to pandemic situation), the number is 20 golfers.

Pre-Covid, in good years, golfers from Tasmania, Victoria, New Zealand have come along to be a part of the banter and sledging on and off the course.

On past tours the FROGS have travelled to some of the best and toughest courses in Australia, and also the most beautiful locations.

As with any member sporting team, Max says they have forgotten most of the past and talk is centred around the day’s play and looking towards the future.

Most importantly how this current army of FROGS can ensure the tradition continues for those to follow.

Hardly surprisingly, new members are inducted as tadpoles, and quickly become progress to be part of the pond.

The group has play for various memorial trophies, in memory of departed members whose legacy they honour.

It is all part of the legendary tradition that the Wilston Grange AFC has developed and continues to respect over time.

Next week after game discussions will centre around how best to organise the 50-year premiership team reunion, of which Max was a proud member.

DAVIS SHIELD HEADS TO WARWICK Warwick secured the Davis Shield with a runaway win over Stanthorpe at the weekend.

After losing the toss Warwick were sent in and their openers Sean Bryson (32) and Doherty (41) quickly summed up the wicket and set a good platform for what would ultimately be a winning total of 257.

The middle order batted very well.

Pat Gordon (73) top scored before he was caught by Filmer off a delivery from Bulow.

Lachie Boal added 44 before he was caught

by Rutley off a delivery from Filmer.

The running between the wickets was a highlight of the innings. Warwick lost eight wickets as they charged to 257.

In reply, the home side struggled with the bat. Matt Rutley (21) Eddie Filmer (23) and Noah Mackenzie (21) were the best for Stanthorpe but 257 proved to be beyond their reach.

The Warwick side under the guidance of Luke Cullen bowled and fielded well as the Warwick Bulls and went on to a comfortable

win to claim the Dud Davis Shield.

One of the biggest highlights of the game was the spirit in which the game was played. A real credit to both teams.

MITCHELL SHIELD LOSS BUT IN THE FINAL The Stanthorpe Mitchell Shield team put up a great fight against a young Toowoomba side on Sunday but fell 42 runs short of victory.

Toowoomba won the toss and chose to bat, scoring 146 off their 50 overs.

After his performance with the bat on Saturday in club cricket, Lachlan Pill snatched two wickets.

He was well supported by Liam Lanza, Steve Martin and Damian Anderson who picked up a wicket each.

Sam Dowie returned to the representative ranks bolstering Stanthorpe batting stocks.

On paper, the Stanthorpe batting line up looked the goods but the loss of early wickets in the face of a fast and accurate bowling attack had Stanthorpe in trouble at 5/58.

Damian Anderson revived hopes of hosting the Mitchell Shield Grand Final, with a sharp 34 off 43 balls.

Unfortunately, the home side fell short of victory. Stanthorpe will now wait and watch next week’s results which will determine where the grand final is played.

While a home final would be a bonus the Stanthorpe side sit comfortable knowing they have booked their place in the 2022 Mitchell Shield final in two weeks.

HEATWAVE TO WINTER REMINDER Most areas on the Southern Downs went from heat wave to torrential rain and then to “hello, here comes winter” in the past week giving new meaning to “variable conditions”.

On Saturday Warwick golfers were faced both windy and chilly conditions. To their credit the scores were still very good.

The least affected in the field was Captain Brendan Landrigan who shot a 68 nett to win the John Dee Monthly Medal.

The runner up in Division A was Shane Scotney with a nett 70. Wayne Rhea also returned a nett 70 to win the B Division just ahead of Chase Longney who finished his round with a nett 71.

Featuring in the ball rundown with scores of 71 were Peter Hynes and Elvis Gushumbe.

Scores of 72 earned Ross Bell and that good golfer Eamon Cockram a mention.

A 73 for Shaun Campbell, Grant Lambley and Ross Heatherington ensured they joined those collecting a ball.

Greg Wallace was the big winner at the Pro Pin on 13 – collecting six balls. Brendan Landrigan and Clayton Frank each won four balls,

Ray Dudley three and Andrew Collins picked up two balls.

Collins was also on song at the fifth claiming the NTP. Josh Hynes had success at the seventh and Ron Simon the ninth. At the 11th it was Shane Scotney while Eddie Kemp reeled in a winner with a good shot at the 16th.

After last week’s weather, members planning to play the Single Stableford sponsored

by Danny Lyons Sports Store on Saturday or the two ball Ambrose on Sunday will have their eyes on this Saturday’s forecast. I understand it will be back to the summer wardrobe however golfers may need to carry a ‘brolly’ – just in case.

A reminder that the following weekend is the Secretary’s Pen Honour Board event on Saturday. A single stroke event.

The Lane Cup, the only mixed match play event of the year is scheduled for Sunday 27th.

The top eight pairs qualify for the match play component. Time to sort out a playing partner if you have not already.

CONDITIONS JUSTIFY ANY POOR FORM Eighteen bowlers braved the gale force winds that streaked across the green at the Southern Cross Bowls Club on Saturday. The only upside, it can be a bonus to have serious playing conditions as an explanation for any bad bowls. Kim and Cathy Hankinson must have had the lucky penny on their side as they won the day with a score of 25 points.

The runners-up Rob Francis, Daph Cross and Wayne Foster finished not far behind with 22 points.

Today, (Thursday 10 February) Social Mixed Bowls organised by Val Gray will begin at 1pm. If planning to play please call Val (0409 611 930) to book your spot or be at the club by 12.30pm.

On Saturday (12 Feb) a group of bowlers from the Clifton Club will be joining members and others for an afternoon of Social Mixed Bowls which will start at 1pm. Be there before 12.30pm and you will get a game.

Following the afternoon’s bowls, organisers will be holding the draw for the Men’s B Grade Singles. Members are urged to contact Clark (0427 673 277) and submit names for the draw.

Looking a little further ahead the club will be hosting Social Mixed Bowls on Thursday February 17 (1.00Pm). Everyone is welcome. Be sure to be there before 1pm.

The club is holding a working bee on Friday February 18 commencing at 7am to ensure everything ship shape in preparation for the Men’s B grade Singles on the weekend of February 19 and 20. Men’s and Management Committee Meetings will also be held on Friday commencing at 4.00pm.

A reminder, it is a government requirement that everyone entering the club or playing must show proof of double vaccination.

For barefoot bowls, social and competition bowls, functions and bar, it is hard to go past the Southern Cross Bowls Club Inc. located opposite St Mary’s Church in Warwick.

Follow the club on Facebook or contact the Secretary, Cheryl on 0407 641 158 if you require further information.

COOPER HANDLES TOUGH CONDITIONS BEST It seemed that there was no respite from the heat and humidity for the Warwick ladies who played on Wednesday, 2 February no matter the time of day. Put simply it was a tough day at the office. Scores ranged from 33 points down to 13 points for the 18-hole players.

It was Sharron Cooper who handled the conditions best for a winning score of 33 points but not before a count back from Mary Young who returned the same score. Wendy Rhea won the Front nine after a count back from Carolyn Abood and Anne Lyons.

The Spin From page 37 The Pro Pin was tucked away on the back of the fifth and the winners Majella Kahler, Roslyn Darton and Marg Adcock were not really that close – anywhere from 5.6 to 10 metres a winner.

While many found the putting problematic today, two players got away without putting a hole or two when they scored with a gobble Mary Young on the 11th and 17th and Janine Stewart at the 18th.

The mid-week round was generously sponsored by Sam Eaves.

SPRINTING AROUND THE SHOWGROUNDS The Bullecourt Bounders were pleased with the number of new faces and existing members that attended last weekend’s Orienteering Sprint at Queen’s Park, Warwick.

This weekend the club is holding a similar Sprint event at the Warwick Showgrounds on Sunday (Feb 13).

Ms Liz Bourne, the club’s Publicity said a new orienteering map of the showgrounds has been produced and competitors will enjoy navigating around the Showground’s buildings and yards.

Ms Bourne says, “Sprint orienteering is a good way for anyone to learn the basics of map reading and navigational skills in a safe environment before venturing out to bush events.” Aside from local club members, locals who would like to try Orienteering are most welcome.

Three courses will be available including a short, easy one for beginners with instruction also available. Beginners can borrow compasses from organisers. No special gear is required if you are a beginner trying the sport for the first time.

Access to the showgrounds is via Gate four (off Palmerin Street) with starts from 3pm 4.30pm. Entry cost is $5 and families are welcome to go around together.

If you would like further information, please contact 4683 6374 or visit the Orienteering website www.oq.asn.au/event-calendar

YOUNG CLAIMS DIV ONE MEDAL The ladies playing the Warwick Golf Club event on Saturday went from the extremes of Wednesday to dealing with gale force winds that threatening to carry them away at times.

Despite the conditions 29 intrepid ladies took to the course playing the Monthly Medal event.

Mary Young was runner up on Wednesday but on Saturday her 68 nett her the Division one medal competition on Saturday. Runnerup, Sam Hinze returned 71 nett and also had the least amount of putts (25) in her division with.

Joely Singleton (72 nett) played in the morning and had a great round to win the Division Two Medal and the putting competition after requiring on 28 putts for her round. The runner up with 76 nett was Maria Carey.

The nine-hole voucher was won by Anna Cox who was even on the front.

If your name started with ‘M’ you won a prize last Saturday. In addition to being place getters Mary, Maria, Molly and Majella were all guaranteed to win a pin. Lucky for some.

Players closest to the flag for the Pro Pin were Molly, Marg, Mel and Mary. The winners of the division approaches were Mary, Majella and Maria. Seems as though the Monthly Medal day was well and truly a day for the M’s.

The Condamine Sports Club once again sponsored the Monthly Medals.

The ladies played an 18/9 Single Stableford sponsored by Warwick Sandstone on Wednesday. Details of the winners will be available in next week’s Spin.

On Saturday, it is the Woman’s President V the Women’s Captain sponsored by club President Margaret Adcock and club Captain Roslyn Darton.

VALE LISA WEATHERLY Members of the Warwick Golf Club (Men and Women) were shocked and deeply saddened to learn of sudden passing of Lisa Weatherly last Friday. Lisa was one of the club’s newest members and played just the weekend prior.

Umpire John ‘Chook’ Hendry presents the Dud Davis Shield to the Warwick captain Luke Cullen following Warwick’s win in Sranthorpe on Sunday.

Although she had only recently joined the club her cheery nature and bubbly personality meant she was already a popular figure in the club.

She was remembered by those who were playing on Saturday and the entire Warwick Golf Club community extend their condolences, deepest sympathy and prayers to Darrell and her family at this very sad time.

WIND CONDITIONS CHALLENGE SHOOTERS Conditions last Sunday on the Risdon Range challenged even the most experienced competitors. The very strong and swirling winds provided the excellent turnout of shooters with plenty of headaches. Members welcomed new shooters, Abby Hannaford Jade Sheehan and Ben Squires. The trio could barely have picked worse conditions. Hopefully the group were not deterred and return.

With the benefit of experience Richard McKillop proved a force to be reckoned with in the F Standard Class. His 120.4, a winning score. Craig Montgomery was successful in the Open Class and the Hunter/Sporters class was won by Jamie Squires.

SLOW FAIRWAYS, TRICKY PINS A HEADACHE The Stanthorpe Golf Club held their February monthly medal and putting competition last Saturday.

The torrential rain earlier in the week had a flow on effect on the course and players found the fairways slow. It did not help that some of the pin placements were in tricky positions.

The combination proving a headache for some.

It was anticipated low scoring might be a problem as the big field headed. A glance at the final scores franked that observation. High scores and steady golf the order of the day.

Rod Werner managed to achieve just that and a score of nett 72 won him the February medal. Apart from a birdie at the par three12th hole, his scorecard revealed he did not find a lot of trouble during the round.

Runner up Viv Thouard returned nett 73 and like Werner was able to kept his ball in play most of the round and deserved second prize.

Scott Constable again had the lowest gross score of 78 in the men’s round.

The Medal event was kindly sponsored by Wes Smith Building P/L and the club appreciates his support.

Wes himself had a reasonable day with his

putter and shared the men’s putting honours with Mark McCosker and Matt Waterworth. All required 26 putts for the round.

With not a lot of run on the fairways many of the ladies found the going tough as they had trouble getting a lot of distance from hits. The early morning players had the best of the day with both winner and runner coming from the early birds. Following up on her midweek medal win, Lisa Stuart was back in first place with a nett 76 to claim the ladies February Medal. Stuart also had best gross score of 97 in the Ladies’ the round. Fiona Kelly but finished six shots back and collected runner up prize, six shots back. Lyn Ludlow had least putts for the ladies, 31 on the day.

Scores of nett 75 and better earned a spot in the Men’s rundown for Men’s run down. For the ladies it was 84 and better.

David Burgess, Greg Fraser, Rob Reeves, Fiona Kelly and Lisa Stuart all collected for a pin shot. Matt Burgess, David Burgess and Rob Reeves held a pro-pin each. The birdies nest at 12 was shared between Matt Waterworth and Greg Fraser.

There are a number of events coming up in the next month or two and members should check their programmes for these.

This Saturday matt and Nikki Waterworth sponsor an individual stroke event. There is a time sheet for this event is at the club.

STUART REVELS MIDWEEK IN HEAVY GOING Ladies playing the midweek competition on Wednesday 1 February at the Stanthorpe Golf Club found conditions heavy underfoot with not much run following a heavy downpour the previous night. The ladies played the midweek February Monthly Medal and Putting competition. In a good field it was Lisa Stuart who found the conditions most too her liking.

Stuart returned a winning score of 78 nett to collect the medal and was also the winner of the best gross score (98). Her win came after a count back from Linda Kelly who played well and had a 78 nett.

Neta Thouard won the run down with 80 nett and had her putter working well as she cleaned up the putting competition with 28 putts and picked up the nearest to the pin on 5/14. NTP’s also went the way of Lynette Ludlow (12th) and Helen Jones (17th).

EXCELLENT SUPPORT FOR MONTHLY TRIPLES A field of 16 teams played the first Monthly Triples event at the Warwick Bowls club on Tuesday, 1 February.

There were some murmurs about the pace of the green. To be fair the club’s new Greenkeeper has only been on the job for two weeks and there was significant work done on the greens when they were put out of action. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and I understand that by all accounts Peter (the greenkeeper) has achieved a great deal in a short time. No doubt the ‘Slow Greens” will be a passing phase as his work continues.

The Monthly Triples event was sponsored

by Debbie Wheeler, a recent member and one who knows a thing or two about bowls clubs and books.

The overall winners were Mick O’Leary, K.

Weier and G. Green. Kay Bloomfield, Lynn Collie and Doug Christensen picked up the runner’s up prize and the ‘Last Past The Post’ went the way of Gerda Brack, Darryl Phillips and Phil Wagner.

In the opening round the eventual winners defeated a team from The Summit 15-4. In round two they proved too strong for the team from Southern Cross scoring a 13-6 win. 13-6 a popular score throughout the afternoon.

That was the score in the opening game for the runner’s up who defeated Gerda Brack, Darryl Phillips and Phil Wagner. In the next round they suffered a 15-4 loss at the hands of Edwin Welsh, Craig Thurgate and Trevor Wright.

This Saturday (12 Feb) the club is hosting an afternoon of Social bowls commencing at 1pm. Names in please by 12.30pm.

Sun 13 Feb: W.B.C.’s Open Fours Carnival.

SLASHERS SUNDAY RECIPE The Warwick Sunday morning Golfing group, the Slashers aim to enjoy a relaxing round of golf, sprinkled with a dose of good humour, and finished with a smattering of very intelligent conversation. With those objectives in mind, they hit the front nine last Sunday.

The first group had an early start teeing off at 6.30am and what started out as a beautiful sunny morning quickly deteriorated as overcast conditions and chilly blasts from a strong South Easter arrived.

The conditions had little or no effect on the overall winner Dave Speedy. His score of nett 16 earning him a voucher from the sponsor of the event, the Warwick RSL. Speedy also returned the Best Gross (41) and had the longest drive on the third fairway. He did just a little better than Gary Millard and Greg Wallace who were contenders. Millard (nett19) snared the runner’s up spot. The NTP prizes offered for the fifth and ninth went untouched – probably due to the wind. Speedy was never far from the action throughout the round and claimed the Pin at the seventh. Danny Lyons did best with his putter (13 for the round), edging out Gary Millard after a count back. At the other end of the Putting spectrum was Melina who received the “Ollie Ball” prize for her efforts.

At the conclusion of play for a bit of fun, the group played a “pitching” competition.

Chris Hall the winner. With the target 75 metre away, it was a reminder that some of the group may need a refresher on their “pitching” techniques.

At the conclusion of the round, Danny Lyons presented the colours and design for Polo Shirts which will soon be available for players.

Danny Lyons Sports, the go to Warwick Sport Shop for all your sporting equipment has very kindly agreed to subsidize the cost of the Polo shirts. This will significantly reduce the cost to players.

This Sunday, the Slashers group will again be out and about early. The game sponsored

by Thornton’s Home Maintenance (give Al a call on 0438-260-860).

If you are interested in joining the group, send a text message to 0408 979 797 for further details.

SUPER SOCIAL SATURDAY A SUPER SUCCESS The Summit Super Social Saturday was a great success for the Summit Bowls Club. 22 bowlers hit the green after a BBQ lunch and found conditions unusually cool for early February. I guess it is the Granite Belt and the Summit, so expect anything when it comes to weather.

GAME TIME FOR ASSOCIATION PLAYERS Croquet players in Stanthorpe enjoyed the rare hot and sunny morning on Tuesday (1 Feb).

The Association Croquet group made the most of the conditions and were the only players to get game time last week.

Jenny Tunbridge partnered one of the club’s newest players Pauline Smith roughout their game against Grace Howard. Smith and Tunbridge played well with Smith heeding the good strategic advice of her partner taking advantage of the four bisque strokes allocated to her as a learner.

Smith scored her first peel and Tunbridge had two runs of two hoops in a row as the pair claimed a 23-13 win. Howard, one of the most experienced players in the club, made some uncharacteristic strategic errors and did not play to her usual good form.

Joy Newman and Sharyn Roser played a solo game. A long roquet got Roser away to a good start and she scored on her second play.

She led throughout the game, but her game stalled after a few hard shots sent her own balls off the court. It allowed Newman who scored three peels to steadily narrow the gap. Roser however proved too strong and pegged out first claiming a 26-22 win.

NO GO FOR MONTHLY TRIPLES The torrential rain that lashed the district last Thursday meant even a duck would have been reluctant to head out onto a bowling green and scuppered the Warwick East Monthly triples.

Bowlers were keen to get back on the green on Saturday for the club’s first mixed social bowls in 2022. Conditions were far better and a good roll up of players meant there were nine games of pairs and one game of triples played. The equal overall winners were Peter Ridgewell and Johnno Johnson. Chris Lawler finished runner-up and Dave Smith in third place. John Harslett went oh so close to taking out the jackpot.

Mixed social bowls are on again this Saturday, with trophies to be won and another chance to try for the jackpot. Play starts at 1.00 p.m. Please submit names by 12.30. The clubhouse opens at 12.00 and you can call (4661 9050) to register any time after midday.

A WIN FOR HILTON IN A CHILLY ROUND

Abigail Barnes travelled from Ramsay just East of Greenmount to compete in last weekend’s Sprint Orienteering event in Warwick. She is pictured making her way around the course Queen’s Park course.

A reminder that despite a change to some regulations, all bowlers and visitors must be fully vaccinated to enter the clubhouse.

A reminder to all members, the club’s AGM is scheduled for 9.30am Sunday, 20th February. Meetings of both the ladies’ and men’s sections will follow the AGM.

FARRELL WINS AFTER GOOD ROUND 60 members of the Warwick Sporters club teed off in the February Pro shop sponsored event last week. It was not welcome back Kotter, rather welcome back Rod Winterton who now plays for the Keperra GC. Winterton cast his now retired ecclesiastic eye over the Sporters group.

Robin Farrell had an excellent round and his nett 65 off a 15 handicap was good enough to earn him the major prize. Runner up and local golf kart enthusiast was Ron Simon who returned nett 67 off his 20 handicap.

The rundown saw Brian Slattery, The Loin King and Jessie Ollerton (69) collect. As did Greg Carey and Mike Hoskin (70), Stu Wade (71) and sneaking in the final spot was Rod Winterton with (72).

Unfortunately, the NTP’s and pro pin information were not available at the time of going to press.

On Wednesday Sporters played for their usual Stableford round for the Warwick Hotel trophy. Results will be available in next week’s edition of Spin.

A reminder to all Sporters shootout members. You now have only two more weeks to qualify for the shootout. The final round is Wednesday 23/2/22.

The Sporters AGM will kick off immediately after golf on that Wednesday, so please arrange to stay and support your Sporters committee by attending.

PILL’S TON JUST THE MEDICINE FOR SOUTHS Cricketers were lucky to make it onto the pitch after Thursday’s downpour but fixtures went ahead with two games were played in Stanthorpe. On Sheehan Oval Wanderers were looking for a much-needed win as they took on the inform South’s team.

South’s Lachie Pill took the game by the scruff of the neck and dominated the bowling attack. He scored his first century and finished the innings not out 107. His highest score. Pill’s runs coming off 107 deliveries and included some big hitting. He found the boundary on two occasions but preferred hitting sixes apparently. His innings included eight sixes.

South’s captain Jordan Lanza fell just shy of his ton when he was bowled by Brendan Barker for 92.

South’s finished the innings 6/250 – a big target for Wanderers to chase. It proved a bridge too far for Wanderers who were dismissed in the 31st over for 127. Wanderers captain Brock Patti showed the most resistance.

He top-scored with 36. In a good performance with the ball Jordie Lanza took five and finished with 5/22. The win elevates Souths to the top of leaderboard while for Wanderers it is back to the drawing board as they search for a win.

Sunday Sporters headed out on the course in sunny and warm morning which very quickly deteriorated into a cold windy overcast day for their weekly nine hole comp the back nine.

Many left wondering if they had slept through the remainder of summer and slipped right into winter. Leaving many questioning why they didn’t have a coat.

The cool conditions certainly brought out the best in Dick Hilton who has been there abouts for several weeks now and on Sunday broke through for a win. With his handicap allowance slowly growing, his nett 25 was two better than runner up, Terry Byrnes. Any disappointment Byrnes had about that second place finish was offset as he claimed the pin shots on offer, at the 12th and 17th following two good tee shots.

Paul Armstrong again played his usual good round no it was no surprise he won the best gross score on the day. He required 40 strokes to complete the nine holes. Sporters will be back on the go again next Sunday with the front nine in action. Tee off is from 7.30 to 8.00am and there is an open invitation to anyone to come and try. Sporters will be hoping for better weather, and I bet there will be a few coats lurking in cars and buggies.

TO PLAY OR NOT TO PLAY Stanthorpe bowlers were left in a quandary last week – to play or not to play due to the most unusual weather conditions. The heat on Wednesday kept many indoors and there were just enough players for one game of three bowl triples. The game turned out to be as hot as the conditions. Bruno Stefanon, Rocky Thompson and Peter Smith held a very comfortable lead tenth end looked headed for a win. Greg Hammond Ernie Jones and Mark Wicks hit back staging a late surge. The trio running away with the game 16-12.

The Stanthorpe Bowls club green is looking good following the recent working bee and the surrounds are look good and the fresh line markings look a treat. The weekend weather conditions also proved challenging, blowing a gale and scattered showers.

A bunch of stalwarts managed one game of three bowl triples which turned into another nail biter. Robyn Smith, Mark Wicks and Peter Smith just able to hold out Greg Hammond, Ernie Jones and Brian Brown 18-17.

The club’s featured sponsor this weeks is the team from Favero Motors (David, Warren and Stephan). The club acknowledges and thanks them for their support.

VALLEYS COAST TO WIN RSL were sharing the top of the table with Souths coming into their weekend game against Valleys but knew they would have to be on their game and knew they were in for a tough game.

After the rain on Thursday RSL chose to bat on the CF White when they won the toss.

Valleys knocked over opener Sam Dowie for a duck after facing just two deliveries. With the score at 1/1 they may have been regretting their decision to bat. His opening partner Chris Duff joined him in the clubhouse shortly after. Bowled by Sandro Stefanon for four – the score 2/18.

Nigel Perrett (20), Rohan Brady (29) captain Luke Brady (25) all got starts but had difficulty moving the scoring along. Noah Mackenzie (24) and brother Ethan (1) remained not out when the innings closed. RSL setting Valleys a moderate total of 125.

As the wicket dried out, Valleys 27 without loss when opened Chris Allen (15) was bowled

by Noah Mackenzie. The score 1/27. There was a glimmer of hope for RSL as Valleys lost a few cheap middle order wickets however opener Andrew Middleton (29) proved difficult to remove. When Becker had him caught by Luke brady the score was and captain Damian Anderson and Steve martin 4/79. Valley’s captain Damian Anderson was the only batsman able to score quick runs. His 46 coming off 32 deliveries. Anderson and Steve Martin (23) cleaned up the remaining runs midway through the 33rd over. Valley’s win now has them level pegging with RSL on 14 points chasing South’s (18) at the top of the table

BIG WINNERS IN WARWICK FIXTURES Three fixture games were played in Warwick last weekend. Maryvale scored a much needed win over Wheatvale. After winning the toss Maryvale batted setting up a healthy 218 run chase or Wheatvale after opener Patrick Bourke scored an unbeaten 105. Undoubtedly the highlight of the game. Bourke’s opening partner Will Gordon scored 35. In reply, the Maryvale bowlers had Wheatvale at sixes and sevens. The highest scorers Stonehouse (10) and Pal (10) who struggled in double figures.

The inclusion of bowler Mac Mayall proved a bonus. He finished with six wickets as Maryvale picked up the points, Redbacks sit at the top of the leaderboard and added another win to an impressive season tally with a big win over Colts.

Redbacks sent Colts in and had them all out for 47 in under 15 overs. Redbacks lost two wickets as they cruised to victory in the 22nd over.

In the game played at Allora the home side won the toss and asked Sovereign Animals to bat first. Sovereign were all out at the start of the 27th over for a moderate total of 104.

Opener Mitchell Hay (19) and Mark Fowler (17) the best of the batsmen as the Allora bowlers controlled the game. Sean Bryson, Will Ole and Laura Scheiwe claimed three wickets each.

Allora wrapped up the run chase in the 22nd over for the loss of just two wickets. Bruce Ole top scored remaining not out on 54 helping Allora to a comfortable win.

After the weekend fixtures Redbacks remain at the top of the ladder with Maryvale who have hopped up the ladder to second spot slightly ahead of Colts and Vic Hill.

GIBSON’S WINDOW TINTING 12462560-DL39-20

Three games of two Bowl Triples and one game of Three Bowl Pairs were played. All games were played over 21 ends.

Good to see Spencer Rowlings on the green and also Mark Spiller a great bowler who hasn’t been seen at the club for quite a while. Mark was lured back for a few games and showed he is still a class act.

He joined, Adrian “Jacko” Jackson and Brian Wilmot. The teams scoring a 22-15 win over Elana Scott, Keith Mungall and Dale Callaghan.

The Club thanks Peter and Maree for organising an enjoyable day.

Despite the success of the day there was a sombre mood as the club, members and visitors observed a minute’s silence and flew the flag at half-mast following the recent death of Wayne Day. He was a great supporter of The Summit Bowls Club and freely volunteered his time to the club. Wayne was a very down to earth bloke, well liked and respected by the Summit members and others in the community. He will be missed by many, and the Summit members extend their condolences to the Day family.
