Conflict in focus

By Emily-Rose Toohey Conflicts of interests discussed at the last Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) meeting on 23 March raised questions about the complaints and declaration process for councillors

at meetings. Cr Cynthia McDonald said she has two outstanding complaints being investigated by the Office of the Independent Assessor (OIA).

“They’ve been investigating now for the last 16 months regarding a potential conflict of interest that I may have with my use of Warwick

Saleyards, and the fact that I’m a farmer who sells cattle through the saleyards,” Cr McDonald said. This declaration was in regards to item 12.7 (Procurement Exception) on the agenda, and she said to the room of councillors that the OIA might want to work faster on those com-

plaints due to the extended time length.

“However, I do ask my colleagues to allow me to utilise some of the knowledge I have and stay in the room for this item,” Cr McDonald said.

On the 4 March, several Warwick Parish Churches came together to hold the World Day of Prayer.

This year was hosted by St Mary’s Catholic Church and about 85 people attended.

The day of prayer was organised by the women of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, with the theme, ‘I know the plans I have for you’.

St Mary’s Parish ladies prepared a table to depict flags, flowers and vegetables from each country.

The colours of the table cloths used were blue for water, green and brown for the earth, roses for England, daffodils for Wales, and sunflowers for Northern Ireland.

Because of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, there were more sunflowers, which are the national flowers of Ukraine.

At the centre of the table was a world globe and the Bible opened at the reading of Jeremiah 29.11 to symbolise hope.

A candle was used to symbolise coming out of darkness into the light.

The peace doves were symbolic gestures for world peace.

As each person entered the church, they were offered a pack of two seeds – one sweet pea for March, and one sunflower to be plant-

It’s certainly an interesting dynamic running a newspaper as a team of two twenty-something-year-olds.

Because, awkwardly, sometimes we’re far more mature than our longgrown community.

It can be hard as two young women sometimes to walk the line of kindness and respect without being taken advantage of, or seen as easy prey.

Emily and I both consider ourselves kind and respectful people. That’s why, when sent letters to the editor directed at certain members of the community regarding matters outside of our normal news cycle (and knowing that we’ll undoubtedly see them on a Wednesday after we go to print, but the day before the paper comes out), we have endeavoured to in passing give these members of the community a “heads up”.

We felt it showed a kind of mutual respect.

But it seems we will no longer be able to do that, as we have one group complaining that we’re favouring another, while the so-called favoured group is complaining that they didn’t get to reply to a letter to the editor before it was printed.

At the risk of sounding obvious, that’s simply not how letters to the editor work. And what they’re describing sounds more like being solidly in their pocket than “fair and balanced journalism”.

So maybe that respect wasn’t so mutual.

Frankly, the whole thing is incredibly childish.

But hey, we’re just two twenty-something-year-olds. What do we know?

At the very least, we now know this; people are people, no matter their position. And people, it seems, are often childish.

We’re very thankful for the crash course on how to deal with people in these positions of power; we’re sure it will benefit us greatly in our careers.

ed as seeds of hope and as a reminder of God’s constant love.

After the ceremony and prayers at the church, all were invited to share morning tea at Assumption Place beside the church, and was prepared by the ladies of the parish.

Council concerns At the Council meeting on 9th March Cr Jo McNally voted against the motion to accept the minutes of the meeting of 23rd February but didn’t offer an explanation why. She was asked by another Councillor what needed to be corrected but declined to elaborate and said “it’s something that’s been talked about offline”.

This raises a few questions. Firstly, she believes the minutes are not correct but won’t share details with her colleagues so they can be corrected. Is this acting in the best

– Mini Tassell interests of Council?

Secondly, what does “talked about offline: mean? Was there a confidential part of the meeting where it was discussed? If so then obviously not all the Councillors attended it. Or are there now secret squirrel ‘briefing’ sessions like in the last Council where the press and public are not invited?

Lastly, and most concerningly, the whisper from the White House is that one Councillor is preparing a major complaint and/or workplace claim against the Council, and perhaps

this latest action plays into that scenario.

It was also noted at the meeting of 9th March that McNally Constructions has lodged an appeal with the Development Tribunal against Council. I’m no expert in planning and courts and Councils, but when was the last time a sitting Southern Downs Councillor took such legal action against their own Council?

S150 updates provided

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) received and noted the minutes of the Stanthorpe 150th Anniversary Celebration Advisory Committee (S150ACAC) Meeting at last week’s Ordinary Council Meeting.

The S150ACAC meeting was held on 1 March 2022.

The purpose of the S150ACAC is to provide SDRC with strategic guidance and/or recommendations in relation to projects, activities and events for the Stanthorpe 150th Anniversary Celebration program; how these might be funded and the extent of SDRC’s involvement, including staff resources.

Michael Bell highlighted that work is underway in relation to the production and installation of skins for the billboards at the northern and southern entrances to Stanthorpe to promote S150.

He also stated that inquiries were made about Variable Messaging Signage (VMS) boards. However, with the quote at $50/day per board, the cost of two boards for any length of time would make this option unviable.

Mr Bell reiterated that there just needs to be continued encouragement from SDRC and the S150ACAC members to community event organisers to seek permission to use the S150 logo and to submit their events via the Southern Downs & Granite Belt – Stanthorpe 150 events page.

Jim Barnes reported that the Rotary Club of Stanthorpe has progressed both the S150 window decals and mugs and brought a sample of each to show members. Mr Barnes indicated that he would visit businesses in town this week to sell the window decals in the hope that they would display these in their windows. Rotary is yet to work out its plans to sell the mugs.

The cost for a mug is $12.50 and $10.00 for a window decal.

In the SDRC meeting, Cr Stephen Tancred

Cr Tancred with his S150 mug and decal at the SDRC meeting. proudly flaunted his mug and a decal on his laptop.

Mary Findlay indicated that the Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery is still planning to get a supply of “tin” mugs produced with both the S150 logo and their own 150 logos printed on each side.

Cr Cameron Gow invited Michael Bell to address the committee regarding the budget during the meeting. Mr Bell noted that the $20,000 allocated in SDRC’s 2021/2022 operational budget is largely fully committed to SDRC’s S150 event, marketing and promotion (including the billboards).

Peter Watters reported that he would touch base again with the Granite Belt Growers Association (GBGA) after the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival about planning an event for later in the year around apple blossom time,

perhaps October. Mayor Vic Pennisi gave an update on Italian events including an Italian art exhibition, an Italian versus Australian soccer match, and a possible display of Ferraris and Vespas.

Teena Wilcock highlighted the challenge in trying to get individual sections of the Show to do something to promote and celebrate the S150, with a lack of interest and enthusiasm around recognising the S150.Mrs Wilcock noted that some of the Show Society members have indicated that it is only four years until their 150th anniversary so they’ll wait and do something big for that. Mrs Wilcock undertook to promote the S150 through the Show Society as much as she can.

Cr Gow reported that Football Stanthorpe has decided to delay the start of their season so that it does not clash with the Stanthorpe

Show weekend in April.

Jim Barnes gave an update on the Zonta Club of Stanthorpe’s “Remarkable Women” project, which will no longer be a wall but interpretative signs to be installed in the Zonta Rose Garden.

Jim also gave an update on the Steam Train Market Day event, to be held on 14 May 2022 at the Stanthorpe Railway precinct. Locals are encouraged to make a costume out of everyday clothes. There will be a soup kitchen and market stalls. Signs about the history of the station will be unveiled and the Steam Train will stop for 45 minutes longer than normal for the event.

Danielle Hannigan reported that the Stanthorpe Primary School is planning a Teaching and Learning in the 1870s day, and S150ACACA is in contact with other schools.

Cr Gow advised that he had been contacted by local resident, Helen Gibson about a close friend. Bill Kitson, a retired Surveyor for the Queensland Government who worked throughout the Granite Belt and has an interest in history and in the S150 celebrations. Mr Kitson has information in relation to Stanthorpe and its history, specifically Robert’s Tree which has a shield carved into the trunk and is linked to the early surveyor history here.

The tree is reported to have died a year or so ago and has fallen to the ground, and Mr Kitson is liaising with the Historical Society and Departmental Officers to retrieve this section of the tree trunk that contains the shield for preservation and historic value. There was also a book referenced – “Bench Marks and Boundaries” by John H Meek – which includes surveying history for Stanthorpe. Cr Gow will contact Mr Kitson to see where he is up to in relation to the tree and how that may be involved in the S150 celebrations. If Mr Kitson wants to be involved, Cr Gow will invite him to attend the S150 celebrations on the weekend of 14 and 15 May.

Locals band together to help neighbours

Elly Bird, the coordinator of Resilient Lismore, urged people to be considerate about what goods they donate.

The Lismore Government has urged those interested in helping to donate to the Lismore Flood Fund by direct bank transfer.

12542750-AV13-22

Granite Belt locals have come together to help out their neighbours, sending relief down to Casino in the Northern Rivers.

The Lindsay Brothers donated the use of their truck to transport the items, coordinated by Shane Wilkins.

There were various donations of fruit and vegetables included in the donation, and an anonymous donation of round bales.

Granite Belt Water Relief sent down 40 bins of bottled water as well.

One of the locals involved in the project stated that Southern Downs Regional Council Mayor Vic Pennisi “was instrumental in coordinating it all as well”.

How locals can help While the donation of goods is helpful, locals should be mindful of exactly what is needed.

Council discusses conflicts of interest

By Emily-Rose Toohey Conflicts of interests discussed at the last Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) meeting on 23 March raised questions about the complaints and declaration process for councillors at meetings.

Cr Cynthia McDonald said she has two outstanding complaints being investigated by the Office of the Independent Assessor (OIA).

“They’ve been investigating now for the last 16 months regarding a potential conflict of interest that I may have with my use of Warwick Saleyards, and the fact that I’m a farmer who sells cattle through the saleyards,” Cr McDonald said.

This declaration was in regards to item 12.7 (Procurement Exception) on the agenda, and she said to the room of councillors that the OIA might want to work faster on those complaints due to the extended time length.

“However, I do ask my colleagues to allow me to utilise some of the knowledge I have and stay in the room for this item,” Cr McDonald said.

SDRC Mayor Vic Pennisi said they will never know the complaint authors as they are protected by whistle-blowers legislation.

“Unfortunately, people weaponise the ability to lodge a complaint - how do you stop that?” Cr Pennisi said.

The second conflict of interest declared by

Conflicts of interest were declared at the last SDRC meeting.

Cr McDonald was regarding item 13.1 (Heavy Vehicle Bypass Report).

“Given that I had somebody previously lodge a complaint about the fact that I received $2000 in electoral support from Wickham Freight Lines and also the fact that I have one truck in Rogers Creek transport, I’ll declare a prescribed interest and therefore leave the room for that,” she said.

“I think that’s the safest way to go.”

Cr Pennisi responded to this statement and said he does not believe leaving the room would do much.

“Nonetheless, I know why you’re doing it,” Cr Pennisi said.

Cr Sheryl Windle also declared a prescribed

conflict of interest relating to item 13.2 (Market Square SPS Electrical Works) on the meeting agenda.

“My husband is employed by Ensbey Electrical, who are the contractors recommended by that particular work,” Cr Windle said.

“I’ll be leaving the room for that discussion.”

In terms of conflicts of interest, Cr Pennisi said declaring them are up to the individual councillor.

“It’s about being open and transparent, and erring on the side of caution - there are either declared or prescribed interests,” he said.

“We have submitted a review of OIA to review the whole body - the act and legislation.”

MP opposes emergency powers extension

By Dominique Tassell Member for Southern Downs, James Lister, has spoken out against the Public Health and Other Legislation (Extension of Expiring Provisions) Amendment Bill 2022.

The Bill would extend the emergency health measures until the emergency is announced to have ended, or 31 October 2022, whichever is earlier.

The explanatory notes for the Bill state that “it is critical that flexibility is retained to ensure that, as restrictions are eased and normal social and economic activity resume, appropriate public health measures can continue to be put in place where necessary to address ongoing public health risks and protect the health system”.

The Queensland Liberal National Party is in opposition to the Bill, and Mr Lister is supporting that position.

While he has supported “some emergency powers which have been necessary to keep Covid out of Queensland”, he has stated he opposes “coercive and discriminatory Covid vaccination policies”.

Member for Southern Downs, James Lister, has spoken out against the extension of emergency health powers that would allow the government to extend vaccine mandates.

Last year, the state government sought to extend the emergency powers need to impose vaccine mandates and other Covid measures. Mr Lister voted to end those powers when the state had reached an 80 per cent vaccination rate. However, an amendment to extend those powers until April this year was successful.

Mr Lister stated that he did not oppose

the powers such as those which closed the borders.

“But I am opposed to emergency powers where the state government hasn’t demonstrated the public necessity for curtailing peoples’ reasonable freedoms,” he said.

“Mandating vaccination for people and venues has caused unnecessary community division and hurt small businesses and community organisations like our local annual shows.

“I’ve just had Covid myself, and I can tell you that I spread it to other people (my family during quarantine) even though I am triple vaccinated.”

He stated that if the state government won’t publish the advice it says it’s relying on to make vaccination mandatory for people who want to have the freedom to live as equals in our community, then he will continue to oppose the extension of those powers.

“Mandating vaccines is not the same thing as making it mandatory to wear a seatbelt or stop at a red light,” he said.

Funding for water infrastructure in QLD The state government has announced funding for water infrastructure across the state.

Water Minister Glenn Butcher said the Palaszczuk Government had $2.6 billion committed to water infrastructure.Of that funding, $19.34 million has been allocated for the Southern Downs drought resilience package.

Emu Swamp Dam An article released by The Guardian last week stated that the construction of Emu Swamp Dam has been affected by a “construction cost blowout”. Reportedly, the cost of building the dam has ballooned from $84m to more than $200m.

Reportedly, multiple irrigators have pulled out of the project. It was reported in this paper last that five irrigators had reportedly pulled out of the project, citing inconsistency from Granite Belt Irrigation Project (GBIP) regarding prices. A local involved in the project said watering their crops with bottled water would be cheaper.

As stated in our article last year, irrigators contributed a non-refundable deposit to GBIP for their involvement in the project. GBIP had reportedly exhausted their waiting list last year and asked irrigators to invest more into the project.

World-first sees Queensland Police, the community and technology team up to target hooning In what is believed to be a world-first, the Queensland Police Service has become the largest user of Axon Citizen by implementing a technology product that allows the community to easily upload digital evidence such as video footage and photographs to the Police Service.

The new technology capability will be specifically used to enable members of the public to upload vision of hooning behaviour which the Police Service can then use to take action under Australia’s toughest and strongest antihoon legislation.

With this initiative, the Queensland Police Service cements itself as the largest use of technology produced by Axon Citizen, which has 20,000 customers worldwide and includes the Metropolitan Police (UK) and the LAPD (USA).

Darling Downs Hospital and Health Board strengthened by incoming specialists Two new specialists have joined the Darling Downs Hospital and Health Board in the 2022 appointment round.

Stephen Harrop and Terry Kehoe will join the board alongside three other reappointed members Dr Dennis Campbell, Marie Pietsch, and Emeritus Professor Julie Cotter.

Continuing members Michael Horan AM, Cheryl Dalton, Associate Professor Maree Toombs, Patricia Leddington-Hill and Dr Ross Hetherington remain in their roles until 2024.

Dr Harrop brings a background of nursing and education, previously working in the Princess Alexandra Hospital Immunology Division and later becoming a senior lecturer at Griffith University. Dr Harrop currently assists the Darling Downs community through his work as a clinical nurse in the Warwick Hospital Emergency Department.

Mr Kehoe brings over 47 years of leadership and engineering experience to his new role on the board. Mr Kehoe’s highly successful career has also seen the management of his own engineering practice for 31 years.

‘Just swept under the rug’

By Dominique Tassell Multiple parents have come forward alleging instances of bullying, and claim students who stand up for themselves or fight back against violence are being punished at Warwick State High School.

Dozens of parents have anonymously revealed details of their children’s distress and blasted the school for penalising students for defending themselves.

One parent stated their daughter had a perfect school record that quickly went downhill after she was suspended for defending herself from bullies.

“It was a terrible time in my daughter’s life, nobody was held accountable, it was just swept under the rug,” they said.

Another parent said, “I found the teachers at this school [are] against students they don’t like too”.

They claim teachers “stalked” and “intimidated” their child, but due to perceived alliances were not held to account.

Another parent alleged their daughter was physically accosted by a male student, and then asked by staff what they had done to make him do that.

“What kind of question is that to ask a female?”

Parents claim children are also being punished for intervening in incidents to protect other students, too.

One said their child was suspended for breaking up a fight and told they should have found a teacher instead.

There were no teachers around to help, they said, and their child felt the other student would be too hurt by the time a teacher could be found.

“There’s a lot of change that needs to happen at that school,” the parent said.

Several parents stated that they had moved their children to other schools such as Allora State High School and Clifton State High

School, though some said they have been forced to send their children to private schools.

On their website, Warwick State High School provides the “agreed national definition for Australian schools” of bullying.

This describes bullying as: Ongoing and deliberate misuse of power in relationships through repeated verbal, physical and/or social behaviour that intends to cause physical, social, and/or psychological harm.

Involving an individual or a group misusing their power, or perceived power, over one or more persons who feel unable to stop it from happening.

Happening in person or online, via various digital platforms and devices and it can be obvious (overt) or hidden (covert). Bullying behaviour is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time (for example, through sharing of digital records).

Having immediate, medium, and long-term effects on those involved, including bystanders. Single incidents and conflicts or fights between equals, whether in person or online, are not defined as bullying.

It then states that “behaviours that do not constitute bullying” include: Mutual arguments and disagreements (where there is no power imbalance) Not liking someone or a single act of social rejection One-off acts of meanness or spite Isolated incidents of aggression, intimidation, or violence.

The website further stated: “these conflicts are still considered serious and need to be addressed and resolved”.

“At Warwick State High School our staff will work to quickly respond to any matters raised of this nature in collaboration with students and parents.”

Parents have claimed this definition can be used to dismiss incidents, questioning what

·

·

·

· · · ·

can be considered a power imbalance.

They feel cases of bullying are being dismissed as one-off instances of physical violence when it is actually the result of students being mistreated for extended periods of time.

Students, parents claim, do not feel encouraged to report incidents. Allegedly, staff have laughed at students when they have reported serious incidents such as alleged rapes.

The Warwick State High School Student Code of Conduct outlines that students who have been suspended are invited to attend a “re-entry” meeting on the day of their scheduled return to school.

However, the student’s behaviour and the incident which led to them being suspended cannot be discussed.

Parents state this is not good enough, and feel there is no real attempt to facilitate mediation between students.

Multiple incidents have been reported to the police, but many parents feel these incidents could have been prevented had the school taken action. Warwick Police Acting Officerin-Charge Sergeant Cameron Slater confirmed there had been four incidents reported through the school since 2019, two of them involving assaults.

He said reports filed by the students or their families independently may not show up in the system by searching the name of the school.

A spokesperson for the Department of Education released a statement regarding parents’ concerns.

“Like all Queensland state schools, Warwick State High School does not tolerate violence or anti-social behaviour,” they said.

“Warwick State High School has a range of proactive programs to prevent bullying and build resilience, with Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) programs and initiatives across all year levels. This whole-school framework teaches expected behaviours and encourages students to make responsible and respectful decisions.

“The department encourages any students, parents and carers to report any cases of bullying or misconduct to their school principal in the first instance, or their closest Department of Education regional office.”

They stated that Warwick State High School participates in the annual National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence, “and takes a proactive, preventative approach to addressing behaviour concerns and ensure students are supported”.

“The school has adopted a ‘phone free’ policy, requiring students to store their devices in phone lockers during the school day, a decision supported by the school community based on research into the impact of phones on student behaviour.

“Support staff are available for any students that may need it, including Guidance Officers and Chaplaincy services.

“The Queensland Government has accepted and implemented all 29 recommendations from the anti-bullying taskforce (committing $3.5 million to their implementation), and has a range of support and wellbeing programs in place to assist state schools in creating safe and supportive school environments.

“Further information about the student discipline procedure is on the department’s website: ppr.qed.qld.gov.au/attachment/studentdiscipline-procedure.pdf “Any situation that threatens the safety and wellbeing of students, staff or others in the school community is treated extremely seriously, and dealt with as a matter of priority in line with the school’s Student Code of Conduct. This is available at behaviour.education.qld.gov.au/ procedures-guidelines-and-forms/studentcode-of-conduct.”

SDRC debate

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) moved a motion to enter into a contract with EnviroAg for the Warwick Saleyards project without considering other options at the recent Ordinary Council Meeting, leading to debate in the chambers.

The motion resolved not to request quotes or tenders for the drafting of specifications for the Redevelopment of the Warwick Saleyards from EnviroAg Australia, due to the specialised nature of the services, pursuant to Section 235(b) of the Local Government Regulation 2012. The motion also delegated authority to Chief Executive Dave Burges regarding the contract.

Councillors debated whether or not this was the proper use of the Local Government Regulation 2012.

Cr Jo McNally was the first to question this, stating the project was too large not to go out to tender.

Cr Stephen Tancred interpreted this as her discussing the actual size of the project, which is mentioned in the legislation, however, SDRC outlined in the report that they were using the clause stating “the local government resolves that, because of the specialised or confidential nature of the services that are sought, it would be impractical or disadvantageous for the local government to invite quotes or tenders.”

Mr Burges stated after the meeting that SDRC had gotten the grant necessary to go ahead with the saleyards project in large part due to the plan made by EnviroAg, and felt it would be a waste of resources to go out to tender and possibly have to bring another group up to speed on the project.

In the report tabled at the meeting, it stated that staff “are of the view that EnviroAg will provide superior value for money due to their extensive knowledge of the site from undertaking the preliminary design and that it would be disadvantageous to engage a different consultant at this stage of the project”.

Council approves Leyburn puppy breeding facility

By Dominique Tassell

Councillors debated whether or not to enter into a contract with EnviroAg for the Warwick Saleyards project without considering other options at the recent meeting.

In 2021 SDRC resolved to proceed with the development of preliminary designs for the redevelopment of the Warwick Saleyards and engaged EnviroAg Australia (EnviroAg) to draft Preliminary Designs, which were finalised and presented to Council through an Information Session on 7 October 2021.

In 2021 SDRC applied through the Australian Government’s National Recovery and Resilience Agency Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grants Program for $4.5M towards the major redevelopment and enhancement of the Warwick Saleyards. SDRC’s co-contribution to this project is $3M. On 22 February 2022, The Hon. David Littleproud Minister for Agriculture announced successful funding through the Black Summer Bushfire Grants Program to the value of $4.5M for the redevelopment of the Warwick Saleyards.

Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) approved an application for a dog breeding facility in Leyburn at the recent Ordinary Council Meeting.

SDRC previously received a complaint in relation to the number of dogs being kept on the applicant’s land. The application to house up to 50 dogs on site was later lodged.

The breeds at the facility include Maltese and crosses, Mini Poodle and crosses, and Welsh Corgis.

The list of dogs submitted by the applicant indicated that there are a total of 23 breeding dogs, i.e. three females and two males registered with Dogs Queensland and another 18 females not registered with Dogs Queensland.

It is the intention of the applicant to increase the number of breeding dogs to 45 females and 5 males.

In addition to the breeding dogs detailed above, there are also six Maremma Sheepdogs which the applicant also breeds, i.e. five females and one male.

Under the Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008, as long as the Maremma Sheepdogs are being bred for other primary producers to be kept on rural land for use as working dogs, the applicant does not have to be registered as a breeder or require a supply number, for this particular breed of dog.

Locals have spoken out against the application, citing concerns such as too many breeding kennels, the welfare of the animals, and the burden on SDRC. One submission stated that in October 2021, the SDRC Local Laws Department identified and reported that “there is an influx of breeding kennels in the last six months” which would require more stringent oversight and management of animal welfare. They criticised SDRC for then approving another two breeding kennels that month.

“The community expects the council to stop this influx,” they said.

“That is because breeding kennels such as these are seen as intrinsically cruel, not needed, a source of constant noise nuisance, a source of incremental ground contamination, and adding to society’s costly problem of mistreated and abandoned dogs.”

Other concerns in the submissions included that the new standards and guidelines which came into effect in Queensland on 1 October 2018 are seen by some as not harsh enough.

A submission cited that animals can be bred too young, killed if they are “no longer required”, and have no time requirements for exercise, socialisation, or enrichment other than “once a day”.

Another concern was the number of

SDRC approved an application for a dog breeding facility in Leyburn at the recent Ordinary Council Meeting. puppies that may result from 50 breeding dogs on the property, with concerns they may not get the proper care required due to the overwhelming number.

Another submission criticised comments that dog breeding is considered a normal farming practice.

“These dogs are just puppy factories, indiscriminately producing many litters a year, to cash in on the loneliness and isolation of people, with no thought to the mental and physical health of the individual dog in a happy environment,” the submission stated.

“Surely the Council has an obligation, to the current rate-paying residents, who neighbour these facilities, to also have a voice as they will be permanently affected by these facilities once established, including constant noise nuisance and ground contamination.”

Another concern was the ability of SDRC staff to properly oversee these facilities.

In the meeting, councillors discussed the application against planning standards.

Cr Ross Bartley stated that he was confident staff had done their job.

Cr Andrew Gale stated the applicants are legitimate dog breeders, and he was confident any concerns had been addressed.

Mayor Vic Pennisi stated he knew it was a controversial issue, but compared the density of dogs onsite to the density of dogs in suburbia.

Cr Jo McNally responded that in suburbia, those dogs were being cared for by far more people.

She later highlighted in general business that a different category may be needed in the rates for dog breeding as it was a growing business.

Cr Bartley questioned if this would extend to people breeding other animals, such as cattle.

Cr McNally responded that those fell under agriculture, and this was a different matter.

Mayor Pennisi said he needed time to consider the matter.

The motion was moved by Cr Gale and seconded by Cr Stephen Tancred.

$36k in grants for the arts

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) approved six 2021/22 Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) Round One applications, for a total of $36,301, at the recent Ordinary Council Meeting.

Cr Stephen Tancred stated in the meeting that all the applications are “good and worthy”, however, flagged that out of the six applicants, three of them involved bringing in artists from outside the region.

He said that is fine if we don’t have those talents locally, but perhaps the aims of the program should be changed to reflect this.

A staff member said councillors were welcome to amend the aims.

The six applicants were Topology, Alison Thompson, Jumpers and Jazz in July Inc, Stanthorpe Pottery Club, Mt Colliery QCWA, and Deborah Wheeler.

The full details of these projects will be included in our online article.

The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Southern Downs Regional Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.

The purpose of the RADF program is to support local artists and creative community organisations and to provide opportunities for local residents to participate in arts and cultural activities.

The priorities for the 2021/22 Program are:

· Arts and cultural tourism (e.g. festivals and events) · Heritage and collections of the region (e.g. museums, galleries, libraries, heritage trails) · Applications where funding is aimed at par· ·

ticipants from demographics and segments of the community who have not historically participated in RADF funded programs or projects Arts and creative activities which support the well-being of participants, strengthen social connections and build community resilience Provide employment opportunities for local artists and arts workers.

Applicants can apply for up to $10,000 in funding.

The total funding requested from the six projects is $36,301 and the available budget for the 2021/2022 RADF program is $89,500.

The RADF Reference Group recommends that the six applications, which meet the Assessment Criteria of the RADF Guidelines, be funded for a total of $36,301.

The balance of the budget for the 2021/22 RADF Program, $53,199, is to be made available to applicants in Round Two, which opens for applications on 23 May 2022.

Of the 2021/2022 RADF budget, $39,500 of this is funded by Arts Queensland.

This funding must be fully expended by September 2022.

Industry says insurance embargos are stock standard

By Emily-Rose Toohey After an insurance embargo was placed on the region, as discussed at 9 March Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) meeting, insurers have explained that this is commonplace in times of emergency.

However, the embargo on the region’s insurance has since been removed.

A spokesperson for the Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) said when an insurer uses an embargo on a particular area or postcode, it is a decision made by the independent insurers in the region, who determine the duration of the embargo.

“Because general insurance is intended to provide cover for unforeseen events, when a significant event is extremely likely or imminent, insurers may use an embargo and stop accepting new business due to the elevated

risk,” the spokesperson said.

“This is common practice across the industry.

“Industry constantly reviews areas that are embargoed and aim to lift restrictions once the imminent threat has passed.”

The spokesperson said that any advice relating to an embargo is provided by external consultants who assess significant events and threats by peril and intensity.

“The existence of embargoes plays a role in the affordability and availability of insurance by preventing adverse behaviour by people taking out policies when an event is imminent,” the spokesperson said.

SDRC Mayor Vic Pennisi said at the 9 March council meeting that he would write a letter to insurers about the embargo.

“That is a common practise we found out,

there’s no point sending a letter because the embargo’s gone,” Cr Pennisi said.

“They put an embargo on us for a short period of time, it happens after every major event, but we weren’t aware that’s a process that they do.”

Before deciding to write the letter, Cr Pennisi said he needed to find out more background information, which is when he discovered it was common.

“I was told, ‘you’re wasting your time because it will be over in a couple of days’,” he said.

SDRC CEO Dave Burges echoed the Mayor’s sentiments, and said that it was routine practise.

“They freeze all you accounts and all your applications while they’re dealing with the emergency,” Mr Burges said.

The insurance embargo on the region has been lifted.

Help for our vulnerable

By Emily-Rose Toohey The Person-Centred Emergency Preparedness (P-CEP) program is about to be rolled out across the Southern Downs in mid-May. Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) community development officer James Wong said the program was initially designed for people living with disability.

“It can equally apply to anyone with a vulnerability and whose emergency preparedness plan might need to be more involved and thought through than the general population,” James said.

“There will be two training sessions for individuals on the P-CEP plan, and the third session for service providers on Business Continuity Planning, starting in May.” He said the program, first developed by the University of Sydney, will be brand new to the region.

“I knew when I took on the role how large a project this would be,” James said.

“It’s hard because there are no large networks for disability in the Southern Downs, and it’s difficult getting the word out and getting in touch with vulnerable people and their carers.”

As part of the Warwick Show colouring competition prize, Churches of Christ winners received a workbook relating to the program and an emergency plan.

“The work books help people work through their individual emergency plan,” James said.

“I’ve ordered enough work books and guides for every vulnerable person in the Southern Downs.

The program is set to roll out in mid-May. “It’s nice to introduce the program to the region and hopefully help some of our most vulnerable residents.”

James said The P-CEP program was co-designed by people with disability, carers, community organisations, emergency services, and researchers.

“The outcome of this collaboration was an established pathway to bring together these people alongside local council and disaster management, to ensure vulnerable people are included before, during and after a disaster,” he said.

ARK animal of the week Southern Downs ARK has a number of dogs and cats up for adoption.

This week we’re highlighting BAXTER. Age: 5 months Adoption fee: $650 About This darling boy is Baxter, a Staffy mix born on 14 October 2021.

For a pup of his age, he has quite an eventful back story.

He arrived in care with a week-old fracture of his left front elbow, caused during play with an adult dog.

Thanks to a gifted surgeon, a shiny stainless screw and loving foster carers, Baxter has regained his mobility and is now ready for his new home.

He still has a slight limp, which doesn’t bother him at all.

Although he may never lose the limp altogether, he should continue to improve in the coming months.

Like a typical Staffy, he is a sweet-natured pup, playful and very dog-friendly.

He loves the company of humans, including children, and will thrive in a home where he is regarded as an integral member of the family.

He is accustomed to being an insideoutside dog.

The other thing about Baxter that’s worth noting is he has proven himself to be a very patient and cooperative boy.

Post-operatively, he had to be kept quiet for six weeks and you can just imagine what that was like for a puppy - he had to undergo physio twice a day. Full credit to his foster carers, who are also very patient people, for getting him through this difficult period.

Preference will be given to homes where someone is around most of the time and there is another compatible dog for him to play with.

· ·

Baxter is a 5 month old Staffy mix.

Baxter is untested with cats.

His adoption fee is $650 and he is desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

If you are interested in meeting Baxter, we’d love to hear from you.

Baxter lives in Warwick, Queensland and is available for interstate adoption.

Kiara’s mighty climb

By Emily-Rose Toohey 16-year-old Stanthorpe local Kiara Osborne scaled the Story Bridge in Brisbane last Friday night as it lit up purple for epilepsy awareness.

Kiara said she signed up to the Epilepsy Queensland Story Bridge Climb challenge after being diagnosed with epilepsy last year.

“In April 2021, I had my first seizure,” she said.

“It came as a real shock to my family - it was extremely out of the blue, we were unsure of what was causing my seizures or what to expect.”

Kiara was formally diagnosed with epilepsy in July 2021 and was prescribed anti-seizure medication, where she had to trial multiple medications to help control her seizures.

Despite still adjusting to the challenges of epilepsy, Kiara said she remains positive and wants to help raise funds and awareness to help others.

“Whilst my story has a good outcome, for many people it doesn’t, because around half of

people diagnosed struggle to find the reason for their seizures,” she said.

“I not only want to raise funds to help those who are struggling, but to also raise awareness.”

Kiara is now 6 months seizure free, and due to the Stanthorpe community, her family, and her friends, Kiara was able to raise over $2500 in less than a month.

“I think it’s really important to raise awareness for epilepsy, as people don’t know enough about it and how common it is,” she said.

“It should be something we talk about more often.”

On the day of the climb, Kiara said the weather was not in their favour.

“It was good while it lasted, but we were rained on, but the experience was amazing,” she said.

“The views from the bridge, despite it being cloudy, were absolutely spectacular - it was like the icing on the cake when it lit up purple.”

Kiara said that 18 other people participat-

ed in the climb, and they were split into two groups.

“I was in the first group and I met some amazing people who I talked to before, during, and after the climb,” she said.

Aside from raising money and awareness for epilepsy, Kiara said the climb seemed like a once in a lifetime thing to do.

“I had always thought it would be something fun to do with friends and family,” she said.

Epilepsy Queensland chief executive Chris Dougherty said the funds raised are to help provide free education and workshops for families like Kiara’s.

“It’s about helping them to understand their epilepsy and giving carers the skills and confidence to administer rescue medication, which can be lifesaving,” he said.

World Purple Day was on Saturday 26 March, and due to the poor weather at the Story Bridge climb, Kiara said they will be completing it again on a to be determined date.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING Last week, we published an article about the kerbside waste expansion, and locals had some thoughts.

Here’s what some of our Facebook readers had to say about the news...

Donna Parker: We pay over $1000 a year for a commercial bin which we use for our household rubbish, we don’t need another rubbish service.

Judy Allen: I think a bin service is great.

About time. Had this in another area that was as rural as where I am now over 35 years ago. Especially with dump hours being drastically reduced.

Margaret Taylor: I definitely don’t want the bins! I can take my little bit of garbage to the tip every few weeks. Don’t want to pay for something I don’t need or want.

Dennise McKenzie: I’ve sent my objection.

I, like many others, would have requested it if we needed. Another expense on those who can least afford. I take mine to the dump but it is such a small amount. Absolute waste of money. Are they that short of money ???

Anita Walters: I’m loving the expansion due to my father not being able to do the big tip runs anymore but I rang up and was happy to do voluntary because it suits our needs.

Carol Clark: If you read the article Vic has advised people to write, ring, petition during the trial period and give feedback so I hope those that want it and those that don’t do as he suggests Elaine Nielsen: I take my rubbish to the transfer station every 3-4 weeks. That’s a 20km return journey, now at the ATO allowance for travel that’s $14.40 by 17 trips a year equates to $244.80 not $450 they are going to charge……not value for money.

Kirsty Smith: They literally just dropped 2 bins off at our place and no other information.

Our family’s Covid quarantine experience

By Jeremy Lister We have all been in home quarantine because my dad caught Covid while he was in Brisbane for Parliament. He started feeling sick after the opening of the Warwick Show with headaches and fatigue and a sore throat. He was the first person in our family to get Covid and then the rest of us caught it from him while he was home on quarantine. Dad was grumpy about getting Covid because he is busy but had to cancel a whole week of meetings and travel around his electorate, but I told him that he was going to have Covid some time anyway so there was no use complaining.

Mum says that it was better that we all got it at the same time so we could all get our home quarantine done together. Normally dad is away for work a lot so it was nice to see him for a whole week. I was the last to get it in our family and I started feeling sick on Saturday but it isn’t too bad really because it is a bit like a cold. But what was bad was when William and baby Amelia and Mum were all sick with Covid together. William was quite sick with vomiting and tummy upsets and Amelia just got cranky

and wouldn’t go to sleep so it was tough on mum and dad, but Amelia got better after only two days which was at least some good news.

And Mum was quite sick too but she’s much better now.

While we were home we tried to get some things done and to help get the house and gar-

dens in order. Dad did lots of work phone calls and he had a croaky voice like a bullfrog so he hated that. When William and I were both well at the same time we rode our motorbikes around our property and mum and dad and Amelia watched us. Little Amelia really liked being outside in the pram watching us but the afternoon sunshine was a bit bright for her so dad put her sunglasses on which looked really cute. Amelia likes it when everyone includes her and she gets upset and bored really quickly if nothing is happening and she does this kind of snorting noise to warn us that she isn’t very happy. Dad says she sounds like Peppa Pig’s baby brother George which is kind of true actually.

Now that Dad’s seven days are up he’s now gone back down to Brisbane again for another week in parliament. William will go back to school this week, and I’m staying home with mum and baby Amelia for seven days for my quarantine. At least we will all be okay and out of quarantine in time for Amelia’s baptism on Saturday. Lots of friends and family will be coming to see us for it so it’s good that we will have done our Covid thing before they arrive.

STANTHORPE TURNS 150 1891

Quart Pot Creek surrounded by granite rocks, Stanthorpe, ca. 1891.

First building of St. Joseph’s Convent with the Vichie family outside.

Foundation pupils of St. Catharines C. of E. School, Sister Evelyn in charge.

Pikedale School in 1891 During the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s, schools played a part in Stanthorpe’s expansion and development.

The following is an excerpt from ‘They Came to a Plateau’ by Jean Harslett and Mervyn Royle, where 1891 falls into the time bracket.

Schools ‘An area described as ‘Warwick Road’ also called for a teacher, since settlement had spread down on Rosenthal lands.

A provisional school was opened on 2nd November, 1876 in a building rented by a Committee of Management from a local resident.

Situated about twelve miles from Warwick on the road to Pikedale, this was known as the Pikedale School, and was under the charge of Henry Cussen.

Its enrolment was 22.

Later the name of this school was changed to Mountside.

Closer to Stanthorpe, a pocket of closer settlement had grown up near the present site of Dalveen, and on 12th August, 1878, a provisional school was opened under the name ‘Stanthorpe Road’, with an average attendance of 19.

After one year the name was changed to North Maryland.

The first head teacher was Thomas Walter Ramsay.

In both cases buildings were small, both being less than 20 x 20 feet.

No doubt the inspectors’ reports reflect in part the desire of the selector to have the assistance of his children, for references to irregular attendance are frequent.

Even in 1887, the general condition of the North Maryland school was described as very unsatisfactory, while of progress the inspector’s comment was “little or none”.

Even when enrolment rose in the following year to 47, North Maryland was refused a state school on the basis that enrolment did not justify it.

A state school opened there under the name of Dalveen in 1892.

Wooden bridge and landscape view at Stanthorpe, ca. 1891 Carnarvan Bridge at Stanthorpe was opened on 22 February 1878 and demolished in 1922 to make way for a new concrete bridge. Large granite rocks can be seen in the foreground and Stanthorpe village is in the background.

RE: New Waste Collection Scheme I am writing as a concerned citizen and ratepayer of the Southern Downs Regional Council. I am one of the residents that is being hit by the new tax for an unwanted service to my address.

I live within 2kms of the North Granite Belt Waste Facility which I will add in recent years has had hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on its upgrade. I utilise this facility for both recyclable items and general household waste for which on our rates I currently pay a waste levy. This levy was introduced by the current council also and I have no qualms in paying this as it supports a system that is safe, convenient and well equipped for rural residents to use.

I am also concerned about the extra heavy machinery on our road. Our road is a single lane, 100km/hour, dirt road that is more often than not, in very poor condition. In my opinion there are no safe places for any residents living along this road to leave their bins out for collection nor for a garbage truck to stop to collect said bins without entering private property. This is a real safety issue compounded by several blind corners on said road.

Another safety issue in my mind is the biosecurity risk to our livestock and wildlife. Garbage collection can be extremely messy, and this rubbish will then contaminate my paddocks and cause injury and illness to my livestock if they were to eat any of the debris. Is the council going to send workers behind trucks to clean up the mess left along the way?

The current council has entered into this scheme without any consultation with rate payers and affected individuals. This scheme implementation has been extremely poor and seems to have had very little logical thought put into it. Would the council like it if I started charging them for something that they did not ask for or something that was not safe for them to use?

I am happy to pay for things that are convenient and logical however this fee, that was not even outline in the letter sent to residents is absurd. Is the lack of consultation due to the

fact the council knew that residents would be upset and out of pocket or simply due to poor management and a lack of common sense?

I believe the fee is around $455 per year however have not been formally notified of the cost. This is like me sending a quote for a service without a price on it. Residents should at least have been afforded the decency of a letter that outlined all fees and charges associated with the scheme that they are expected to pay.

The Mayor stated in an article on 24th March 2022 in the Warwick Today publication that this scheme was a trial for 3 months.

Is this true Mr Mayor? In the council meeting on the 23rd February 2022 (which is available for all to watch online) you were corrected by staff that this was in fact a mandatory scheme.

Why would the council or its contractors go to the expense of purchasing and delivering new bins to thousands of residents for a trial scheme that had had no consultation or community input?

I would like council to come and collect our bins as we will not be using the service and I know there are definitely several other residents in our community that feel the same. I’m

sure you can tell the residents that are unhappy due to the number of bins still littering the side of the road.

Response from Cr Marco Gliori In response to a recent article in our local news I am writing to clarify as I was not afforded the opportunity to provide comment in advance.

In replying to this letter, I acknowledge the Githabul people, the traditional custodians of this land and acknowledge elders past present and emerging. I also regret any hurt I may have caused to anyone and unreservedly apologise.

After 30 years in the industry as a Poet, Entertainer and Guest Speaker and now as a Councillor, I can assure you that I have tried to be my own best critic. This one routine mentioned was included on an Album that won Tamworth Country Music Festival’s Album of the Year, in the 2008 Bush Laureate Awards.

In the original theatre style performances, our troupe dressed up in many ridiculous costumes which included me, in this case, with

OPINION

brown face and appropriate garb. But just as the rest of Australia became self-aware with regards these matters I too retired that ‘Dress Up’ version of the skit over a decade ago.

My Italian father’s comedic idols (therefor mine growing up) were the irreverent, once popular, and now outdated Benny Hill, and Dick Emery who himself portrayed Indian characters. My father loved it when, as a child, I told a story or sang a song with various accents. He laughed so hard, but times have changed.

Together with our script writers, I created Bobby Cashmere. He was a fictitious touring Country Music Singer, inspired by an actual Indian Country Music Singer, Bal Kishore Das Loiwal, who adopted the name Bobby Cash, himself creating a parody of American Country Music Singer Johnny Cash, his childhood idol. I was fortunate enough to see his show at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.

I created my character, with a touch of Bollywood in mind, and a host of country music parodies, with stars like Keith Turban, Chilli Nelson, Kenny Rajas, and Bobby Cashmere, all battling to win a coveted Golden Sitar.

You can’t take back time, but we can all learn from our experiences, continue to grow as individuals and a community, and look forward to a future where our many diverse cultures are accepted, celebrated, and respected.

Once again, sorry for any hurt this routine may have caused.

Yours Sincerely, Marco Gliori

Emu Swamp Dam Mr Pittard ‘s last letter regarding Emu Swamp dam sums up what we are all thinking. According to the Gaurdian article it appears that the final cost will be 2 to 3 times higher than originally claimed. This will make the water derived from the dam some of the most expensive irrigation water in the country. Forty to fifty Agribusinessess will benefit from this huge public water subsidy but will we the taxpayers & ratepayers benefit from this extravagant waste of our money? I fear not.

Does a scheme like this come under the term pork barrelling?

Pathfinder’s Ron Nielsen

By John Telfer In World War 2, the Royal Air Force Bomber Command sadly suffered 54 per cent losses of personnel from 1939 to 1945. As Winston Churchill famously declared: “The fighters are our salvation, but the bombers alone provide the means of victory”. This declaration by the British Prime Minister at the time justly highlights these heroes of the sky who courageously flew out night after night to take the fight to the enemy.

However, not much is mentioned of the Pathfinder Force formed in 1943, which contained some of the bravest pilots in the Command. Their task was to locate targets for the bombers by dropping flares to light up the area, and from 1943 to the end of hostilities they suffered losses of personnel that totalled 3,618 aircrew lost. One of these brave men who survived the war was the late Flight Lieutenant Ronald Nielsen of Yangan, and this is his story.

Ronald Hunter Nielsen was born in Brisbane on 8th April 1921, the son of Eva Nielsen of Esk, Queensland. He received his early education at the Esk State Primary School and left school in 1934 at 13 years of age to help support the family. As this period of time was during the height of the Depression, employment was not easy to get, but the enterprising young Ron linked up with the local Cinema Operator who taught him the art of cinematography, where he worked up until the outbreak of World War 2 in 1939.

Like all young men at this time, Ron was keen to enlist but was declared medically unfit (flat feet) by the army medicos, so, undeterred, he applied to enter the Navy but at this time they were short on ships so once again Ron missed out. Still determined to enlist Ron entered the air force recruiting office on 7th December 1941 and was immediately accepted for aircrew training. Ron’s initial posting was to the No 8 Elementary Flying School at Nar-

Ronald Hunter Nielsen. randera in New South Wales, then between 1942 and late 1943, trained at flying schools at Bundaberg, Sandgate and finally at Bradfield Park in Sydney mainly flying Tiger Moth and Anson aircraft. Ron finally received his ‘wings’

HAIL DAMAGE TO ROOFS IN WARWICK AND STANTHORPE

on 1st July 1943 and was promoted to Sergeant, and later, to Flight Sergeant in January 1944. Ron was to be posted to Canada for further training under the British Empire Training Scheme, but a bout of Glandular fever sent him to hospital for a period which delayed his posting to the United Kingdom which finally came about on 14th July 1943.

Ron arrived at the Royal Air Force Base at Mildenhall and began his conversion course in Wellington and Stirling bombers before a posting to No 622 Squadron. before moving to No 7 Squadron’s Pathfinder Force, where he was to complete 51 sorties and operations against the enemy, flying Lancaster bombers. This was a very hazardous occupation, leading the bomber force into their bombing runs as they laid the flares to light up the target. They had to avoid the heavy flack barrages as well as the deadly German night fighters.

On 6th May 1944, Ron was commissioned as a Pilot Officer and on 21st March 1945, he married his English sweetheart Paulina, who was a Section Officer in the Royal Air Force and they lived in married quarters at the RAF Station Hobden, in Leominster, Hereford.

As the war was nearing its end, Ron received his highest accolade when he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. This is what the citation read: “Flying Officer Nielsen has completed numerous operations against the enemy, in the course of which he has invariably displayed the utmost fortitude, courage and devotion to duty” Ron was also granted certification to wear the prestigious Pathfinder badge on 11th May 1945. So, on 3rd November 1945, Ron received his discharge from The RAAF and he and his English wife Paulina, returned to Australia to begin a new life free of the conflict and traumas of post-war Europe.

Ron and Pauline returned to a different Australia than the place he had left in 1941. Em-

ployment was difficult, so for a period of time, Ron could only find work as a house painter until he met an old RAAF colleague, who helped him get a position as a records clerk in the Government Repatriation Department.

Eventually, Ron decided to look elsewhere for employment so applied and was accepted as a representative with the Shell Oil Company.

This position entailed a large amount of travel throughout South West Queensland and Goondiwindi, so later, Ron tired of the travelling and decided to work for himself and started a grocery shop in Ipswich, and later, a news agency and paper delivery service at Booval, also in Ipswich.

Still unsettled, Ron and Paulina purchased a small farm at Raceview, and later moved to another farm at Sandy Flat near Tenterfield, which they called “Oakington”, in honour of the place where they were married in England.

Finally, on the move again they settled at Yangan, near Warwick, and once again, named their property “Oakington”.

Ronald Hunter Nielsen led a life of high adventure and a war-time romance with his beloved wife Paulina. He was a survivor of one of the last World Wars and came out reasonably unscathed, considering the casualty toll of the RAF’s bomber command. His Distinguished Flying Cross was testimony to his great bravery and resilience that took a heavy toll on many of his contemporaries in his squadron, and the daily psychological effort that these brave men of the bomber command had to overcome.

Ron was a true hero who passed away on 2nd February 1999 and now lies at rest in Warwick’s Soldier Cemetery. Buried with him is his loving and faithful wife Paulina who joined Ron 20 years later on 10th November 2019, after receiving special permission to join him from the War Graves Commission because of her war-time service as a member of the Royal Air Force. May they both rest in peace.

Settle in for a spot of dreaming, with idyllic cottages and lush rolling hills, in this easygoing new series, fronted by charming former Paralympian Steve Brown (pictured). Cut from the same cloth as British stalwart Escape to the Country, the series helps people find their new home in a new country town. In this week’s premiere episode, Brown helps a couple who are looking to escape the sky-high London property market. With a £280,000 ($A500,000) budget, they are amazed at the lifestyle they can afford.

SPACE INVADERS Nine, Saturday, 7.30pm

Behind closed doors, there are hordes of people hiding an embarrassing secret: they are living in a clutter crisis.

Now in its second season, Space Invaders follows decluttering guru Peter Walsh, renovation whiz Cherie Barber and treasure hunter Lucas Callaghan (pictured, right, with Walsh and Barber) as they restore tidiness and peace to people’s homes and lives.

New parents Caroline and Adrian are overwhelmed by the chaos their small children create. The time has come for the pair to restore order to their home.

THE 64TH ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS Seven, Monday, 8.30pm

Awards ceremonies can be a yawninducing affair, but when it comes to the Grammy Awards, it’s all about the spectacle. The musos milk their time on the red carpet with outlandish and extravagant outfits, and most of the winners don’t share the same dignified speeches as someone from the Academy Awards; it’s a rollicking affair.

Hosted by Trevor Noah (pictured) from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, this year’s nominees include Jon Batiste, Doja Cat and Justin Bieber.

PICK OF THE WEEK PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF MALLACOOTA ABC TV, Tuesday, 8pm

The small Victorian seaside town Mallacoota became the face of climate change the world over when the sleepy hamlet was engulfed by a 200km wall of flames on New Year’s Eve, 2019. Shocking images of the stained red skies and ruthless bushfires shocked the world as scores of tourists and locals were taken aboard a Navy ship to safety.

Premiering tonight, this six-part observational documentary lifts the lid on the devastated town’s outspoken, traumatised and ambitious inhabitants as they seek to rebuild on their own terms, without the help of outsiders. Featuring searing honesty and revealing the shocking extent of the disaster, it’s a sobering yet fascinating story of endurance.

RURAL LINKS WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Rural Links 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 Cattle and Sheep & Lamb numbers were not too far apart as 1212 head met the market for the cattle sale , whilst 1302 head of Sheep & Lambs were presented for the Sheep sale.

Pigs were a slower article with only 23 head being presented for sale, Poultry was consistently represented with many lines of poultry available. The markets were firm to a shade easier with only condition and presentation affecting any outcomes. Good light stock for feed on and back to the paddock were still keenly sought after.

The yarding was an 80/20split between lambs and mutton.

The lamb job was firm for the heavier lambs and hoggets and easier for the mutton with one major processor not operating for mutton.

The yarding was again drawn from South West, Tenterfield , local areas making up the balance. Lambs topped at $231 to average $152.18($7down), hoggets topped at $196 to average $162.57($6down), ewes topped at $185 to average $117.09($2down),wethers topped at $178 to average $143.36($21up), lamb rams topped at $640 to average $178.47($55up).

RURAL LINKS

This week on the farm We had another busy week, including Amy’s wedding. She is the young woman who helped me at the Highfields Pioneer Village for many years. Amy started there when she was around seven years old, helping me milk the cows and look after the animals in the animal nursery during the village’s three-day Easter Vintage Festival. She continued this for around twenty years, never missing a year. She quickly learned how to milk the cows and goats by hand and took over as the milkmaid. Amy would come a few days before the festival and stay with me at Warwick and, if it happened to be the school holidays, stay afterwards as well.

We were heading down to Brisbane early Saturday morning for the wedding but it was only quite late on Friday night that I started looking for something to wear for the special occasion. It had been in the back of my mind all week wondering what on earth I could wear.

I knew the wedding would be fairly formal as I recalled Amy watching episode after episode of Say Yes to the Dress in the later years of her stays with me! A few years ago I bought a beautiful dress for just such an occasion so I wasn’t too worried until I tried it on and couldn’t get the zip done up! It was close but not close enough. I was fairly certain there was no way I could lose a couple of kilos overnight!

I had some other formal outfits in some drawers I hardly ever opened, but when I checked on them to my horror I found a mouse nest and chewed up clothes, complete with one dead mouse and an awful smell. I was devastated. It was a very “unhappy Jan” that went to bed. My last resort was to buy a dress on the way down in the morning, however, that wasn’t to be either as I had forgotten to switch my phone off silent and the alarm failed to go off. It was a rush to get the farm jobs done before we headed off with the best clothes I could find under the circumstances. Just past the Eight-Mile, I realised that I had forgotten about a wedding present. The past few weeks had been so busy it just completely slipped my mind. Kent Saddlery to the rescue! I ordered a gift voucher and had it emailed to me.

I am really noticing that the days are getting shorter. When I get up in the morning now the timing is right to see the beautiful sunrise over the dam. The sky starts a beautiful orange and no photo I take can capture the sight and do it justice. There are pockets of mist sitting over the dam and then the sky changes to yellow before my eyes. Sometimes after that, the mist comes down heavier. Such a beautiful time of the day. Richie is still slashing the paddocks after work each day before it gets dark but this will be the last week. The soil will start to get colder and the growth of the grass will slow down. I think we are always about a month behind Stanthorpe where the deciduous foliage is already starting to turn red.

One of the ram buyers from last year’s sale called in to see me a few days ago. He had a ram on board that he bought last year and what a magnificent specimen he was – the ram that is! As the sheep at my annual sale are only six to eight months old it is hard to know exactly how they will mature, but I believe this ram would hold his own at any show. It was

definitely a proud moment.

Time is drawing closer for the calves I brought last September to be sold. The goal is to sell them before the end of June but as the time draws closer I am becoming more apprehensive about it. I must be getting softer as the thought of moving them to a feedlot makes me feel quite unhappy. They have such an idyllic life here – a big paddock that goes down to the dam with plenty of trees for those hot days and grain and hay whenever they want it. Speaking of the calves, I had to drive into their paddock with a bale of hay. The paddock gate is one of those COD (carry or drag) types, but really really hard to drag so I left it open. I thought the calves would be distracted by the hay but, no, they spotted the open gate and made a run for it. They kicked and bucked all the way to the bottom of the hill and then ran straight through the group of campers and their tents, taking them and their dogs by surprise.

I received an email from Cass and Jarod, the Blue Tree Project guests, containing a couple of photos taken from their drone. The rest are arriving on a stick as the files are too large to send via email. The photos are incredible.

Conditions on the farm were becoming quite dry but today we received 38mm of rain.

Hopefully, that will give the slashed paddocks a bit of growth before the weather turns cold.

I am planning to start joining the sheep in the next couple of weeks. It is a bit of a juggling act as the different breeds need to go in separate paddocks. A few of our internal fences are a bit Dad and Dave so we might have to do a bit of temporary fencing before the joining. My worst fear would be the Shropshire or English Leicester ram getting into the Southdowns and Babydolls! It is a good idea to have rams shorn a couple of months before joining, especially long wool rams.

Rams should not be too fat either for paddock joining or they will tire. If purchasing rams, always check they are from a brucellosis-free accredited flock. This insidious disease can cause substantial economic loss in sheep flocks through abortion in ewes and sterility in rams. It is quite widespread in NSW. All rams sold from registered studs must now be brucellosis accredited. Cattle, goats and pigs are also susceptible to their own form of brucellosis.

I am still busy working on the Rare Breeds Trust Auction. Our president, Anne Sim, who used to breed Cheviot Sheep, has donated this beautiful photograph of her rams which I am hoping to get put on a canvas to add to the auction. The Cheviot Sheep are beautiful clean-faced dual-purpose sheep that were introduced to Australia in 1938, originating from the Cheviot Hills on the border of Scotland and England. They are a very fertile breed and great mothers. I don’t believe we have any in Queensland. The sheep are quite worm resistant and do well in hill country. They also tolerate the cold very well.

Finally, I am thrilled to say that it looks like the A.I. programme was successful this time around and the three heifers and one cow are in calf. I will be watching for the first signs of backward springing in around 2-3 months.

Great news!

The latest contribution from Rose City Writers, this week from MASON BUSHNELL... Check out more short stories at Fleur Lind’s website - fleursfabulousfables.wordpress.com

Leandro’s Key of Legends Reluctantly he handed over the key. That golden fob belonged to a chest of legends hidden deep within the catacombs. However, wealth is no good to a corpse.

Leandro was already bruised and bleeding having been assaulted by these men. Now, he was on his knees hoping for mercy.

“You’ve made a wise choice, Leandro,” Everard sneered while gazing upon the gilt key in his gloved hand. “There are enough bodies in this graveyard without adding your fresh carcass the numbers.”

“At least I belong with the holy and good here. You’ll be interred with the scumbags in Hades!” Leandro looked between his four attackers. Two bore guns, the others coshes made from pickaxe handles. He was outmuscled and out of options.

Everard snapped forward, his hand whipping through the torchlight.

Leandro felt the fiery crack across his face.

He recoiled from the slap but said nothing in favour of a furious glare.

“Marco, guard him. If he moves kill him!”

Everard seemed to grow with smugness.

“My pleasure, boss.” Marco chuckled while cracking his knuckles with murderous intent.

“Okay, Rico, Martinez. Let’s find the chest.

Those riches will be ours.”

Leandro remained on his knees, watching the three men disappear into the catacombs.

The moment the torchlight vanished underground, he focused on Marco.

“I’m watching yer.” Marco levelled his Remington shotgun. “One move and I’ll paint the cemetery with your brains,” “Always the puppies and kitten’s routine with you scoundrels, isn’t it?” Leandro retorted.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“That, your wife married you out of pity.

She’d have bedded any mongrel over an ugly mutt like you, otherwise!”

“That’s it! Now, I’m gonna kill yer!” Marco dumped the gun, rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.

“Aww, can’t you take a joke?” Leandro grinned through his blood-stained teeth.

Marco slammed a fist into his stomach.

Leandro rolled with the blow and pounced like a leopard. He shouldered into Marco’s stomach and drove him into a gravestone.

The scoundrel groaned, his kidneys bending over the granite slab. “You’ll pay —” Marco lunged, fists swinging.

Leandro parried and ducked; ensuring his punches bludgeoned the man’s beefy stomach and jaw. A savage head-butt sat the scoundrel down. “Good night, Marco.” Leandro kicked

him to the oblivion of unconsciousness.

Leandro frisked the man and took a folding knife from his back pocket. He dispossessed him and the gun of bullets. Leaving the man tied to a gravestone with a rope from his tools, Leandro turned his attention to the catacombs.

The church of John of the Cross was centuries old. History said; the catacombs came first. The church arriving much later.

Leandro didn’t care, he jogged down into the darkness broken only by flaming torches within sconces upon the stone walls. Every wall was filled with funerary niches here. Many were sealed, more still were open and stacked with desiccating bones.

Spiderwebs hung everywhere like creepy curtains. Leandro flicked a large brown spider from his hair as he reached the first tomb.

There were dozens here, each belonging to a wealthy family from the city above. The deeper underground, the further back in time you went. The oldest tombs were over a thousand years old.

“I’m coming for you, Everard!” Leandro breathed as he jogged along the winding tunnels.

Cold breezes graced his skin like the fingers of spirits. Strange mists and disembodied screams on the cold air caused him to shiver as he moved on.

Torchlight broke the darkness ahead.

Leandro froze, he’d found them.

A footstep close at hand.

Something moved fast, slashing across the light.

Leandro reacted fast, catching the cosh.

The wooden club stung his hands, but he twisted his attacker into the wall. Bones within the funerary niche shattered and cascaded to the floor.

Martinez’s dark features were caught in the flickering light. He swore as he attacked with a savage knee.

Leandro felt his ribs buckle. Winded, he couldn’t stop Martinez from slamming him into the opposite wall.

“Hehe, gotcha!” Martinez grinned revealing gold-capped teeth. “Now, I kill you!” he snapped forward with his pickaxe handle.

Leandro’s vision darkened. Dropping to his knees, he avoided death and rolled past Martinez. At once, he sliced him down with a spinning kick to the back of the knees.

Martinez seized and dragged him down.

Leandro fell backwards, cracking his head hard. Darkness crept into his vision as he lay dazed.

Martinez crawled on to him, “Say, goodnight, my friend!” he said punctuating his words with savage punches.

Leandro was close to unconsciousness, pain flared in his mouth as those punches loosened his teeth. He scrabbled about desperate to get free. As all seemed lost, his fingers closed around something. Gripping it, he swung with all his might.

Martinez yelped. The object smashed his nose with a sickening crack.

Leandro threw the man askance; cracking his head against the wall. A second blow ended his fight.

Rising, Leandro swore away his pain and smiled at the skull in his hand. He’d split it along the sagittal suture but it was still more or less intact, unlike Martinez’s nose. “I’m sorry, old fellow. You’d better have this back,” he said returning the skull to the rest of the skeleton.

“You’ll pay for hurting my friend!” yelled Rico, his voice echoing around the catacombs.

Leandro swore, “I’ve had enough of this!”

“Then die!” Rico lunged.

Leandro unleashed the folding knife. It flashed across the passage and slammed into the man’s throat.

Rico’s eyes widened in shock as he choked.

The blade hadn’t been open, but a heavy metal object striking a delicate throat can cause extreme damage.

Leandro seized and slammed him against the wall rendering him unconscious. Swiftly grabbing the men’s belts he tied them together back-to-back. “Now, sit still and behave!”

In the fray, Leandro had suffered an injury to his right knee. He limped his way deeper into the crypt. His last task; find and deal with Everard.

It was Everard who found him. The sound of the safety releasing from his pistol was unmistakable. “I don’t know if I should applaud or deck you for beating my men,” he said pressing the gun into his adversaries back.

“They talk too much,” Leandro retorted biting back the fear from the cold metal barrel pressing into his spine.

Everard chuckled, “Ha, they never shut up!”

“Well, they’re quiet, now.”

“Enough games. Take me to the chest or I’ll drop you where you stand!” Everard’s voice went stone cold.

“Empty threat. You shoot me, you’ll never find it!” Leandro limped into the gloom anyway.

“I said, drop you, not kill you. First, I’ll blow your ankles away and then work up your joints

until you speak.”

Leandro arrived at an arch; the keystone was engraved with ‘1521’ indicating the age.

“You sadistic, scumbag!”

The walls here were adorned with carvings of soldiers in battle. To historians like Leandro, it was clear the rich and battle honoured were interred here.

“Thank you,” Everard chuckled. “Now, move or your left ankle vanishes!”

Leandro felt the gun move.

Everard unleashed a bullet into the stone at his feet.

Leandro flinched but said nothing as he made a right turn into a circular tomb with an alter dead centre. Six white marble conquistador soldiers stood guard.

“Is it here?” Everard asked lighting sconces on either side of the entrance.

Leandro stood aside and pointed. “There.”

“Thank you, Leandro. It’s been nice working with you—goodbye!” Everard raised the gun and fired twice.

Leandro had been ready for him. He rolled behind a statue and reappeared holding a harquebus, a large Spanish gunpowder musket.

There was no time to load it, he just swung for all he was worth.

Everard reacted, getting off a single wild shot before the heavy wooden stock crashed into his jaw.

Leandro grimaced as bits of wood and teeth flew across the tomb.

Everard staggered; his gun clattered to the floor. His consciousness was close to following, “W-where did the g-gun come from?” he slurred.

“It’s been here the whole time. The local historian’s advantage, I guess. As for the chest, its contents will go to a museum to be enjoyed by the public as they should.” Leandro waved good night and laid him out with a stiff haymaker.

Taking back his key, he walked behind the altar and smiled at the simple wooden chest inset into the stone. The lock turned easily; Leandro had opened it many times. Inside upon a pile of Inca gold coins, were six glass vials with gold stoppers. Bottles of water from the Fountain of Youth, thanks to the Ponce De Leon’s discovery.

Leandro had planned to keep it hidden here for eternity. Now, he had no choice.

The vials and gold went on display in the museum. Leandro went into the history books for his discovery. He wasn’t too pleased about that, he hated publicity. The historian did smile knowing he’d kept one of history’s greatest treasures safe from harm though.

ENTERTAINMENT

Exploiting the exploited

By Emily-Rose Toohey While scandals in Hollywood are commonplace, only a few are remembered in tinsel town’s history as the years go on.

In 1996, Baywatch star Pamela Anderson and her rockstar husband had an intimate video stolen and leaked without their knowledge.

This scandal has been dissected numerous times, most notably in an LA Times article, which detailed the whole exploitative story.

A television miniseries aptly titled Pam and Tommy was released on Disney+ Star this month, and its based on this LA Times article and depicts the so-called events leading up to and the aftermath of the sex tape leak.

It stars Lily James as Pam who is totally transformed to look scarily like the Baywatch star during the 90s.

This incredible makeover combined with James’ stellar performance is the best, most interesting part of the series.

On the other hand, Marvel mainstay Sebastian Stan plays Tommy.

He is also very well cast and delivers an intense performance - so far the star is having quite the year with another great performance in the horror-thriller Fresh.

Seth Rogan plays the jaded carpenter who steals and leaks the couple’s tape, and although Rogan does a fine acting job, it is the

over-focus on his plot line where the series becomes less interesting.

It focuses too much on the theft and the consequences this theft had on Rogan’s character, and much too little time is spent with James’ Pam. In a twisted irony, the series attempt to comment on how women (particularly women in the entertainment industry) have been exploited and over-sexualised, but the real Pamela Anderson reportedly never approved of the series being made.

At the end of the day, the show is exploiting Pam and her story in real time while simultaneously exploring how women have been exploited.

It’s a tricky juxtaposition and very hard to ignore.

Aside from this outside drama, Pam and Tommy is a rather middling, albeit entertaining series.

The plot is far too drawn out over eight episodes and could have been more effective as a two hour movie.

It’s hard to understand what the show’s true purpose is apart from being another Hollywood attempt at blandly re-telling a story of once very famous people.

All in all: stay for the lead’s performances.

Pam and Tommy is available for streaming on Disney+ Star.

By Emily-Rose Toohey It happened, it finally happened: the 94th Academy Awards took place in Los Angeles on Monday after months and months of anticipation. However, there’s never an Oscars ceremony without controversy. In an attempt to draw in viewers, the Academy was making some very stranger announcements in the lead up. From DJ Khalid presenting to a fan voted award (spoiler: Spider-Man did not win, hilariously), many weren’t holding much hope for a smooth sailing ceremony. Despite these baffling decisions, the most controversial announcement was deciding to present eight crafts awards before the live telecast, during the red carpet - absolutely appalling. But no one could have expected what was to happen during the event, an act that would forever go down in Oscars history.

Will Smith walked on stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock for insulting his wife, then proceeded to yell profanities at him from his seat. Thirty minutes later, Smith won Best Actor for his role in King Richard (2021), and boy let me tell you, his publicity team was likely in major damage control mode.

In a way, it’s sad that Smith’s much anticipated win has been tainted by a dumb decision, because it took away from the moment. What should have been a career highlight turned into a messy situation.

The 94th Academy Awards will now be remembered as ‘the year of The Slap’ instead of Best Picture winner CODA (2021) defying the odds and claiming victory. Not since the 2017 Moonlight-La La Land debacle has something this wild happened at the Oscars. It shows that no matter how hard the Academy tries to generate more viewers, it’s the organic stuff that sparks the most conversation and breaks the internet.

Nonetheless, here are the full list of winners (Dune came away with the most wins of the night, with six Oscars): Best Picture CODA (Philippe Rousselet, Fabrice Gianfermi and Patrick Wachsberger, Producers) Best Director Jane Campion (The Power of the Dog) Best Actress Jessica Chastain (The Eyes of Tammy Faye) Best Actor

NEWS WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

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

Those who don’t do lists

By Bob Wilson I instinctively feel that readers are ripe for a light-hearted look at something that’s not about Russia, the threat of nuclear war, the price of fuel or a new Covid strain. This week let’s turn instead to the universal topic of listmaking.

I take issue with the medical journal articles that define excessive list-making as an indication of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

The fact that I re-wrote these two paragraphs 10 times is no real indication.

List-making is a solid aid to achieving goals and being efficient. Crossing items off the daily list is not a case of clinging to a way of remembering things. I just find it useful. What is not useful is when you are leaving the house (with list in pocket) and your partner calls out “get some gluten-free bickies that don’t have soy in them”. Never going to happen. It wasn’t on my list in the first place so doesn’t qualify.

Since the last time I wrote about list-keeping (2018), I have tried keeping separate lists relevant to the five or six key interests in my life, but that system became completely shambolic after a while.

So as per past habits of managing a busy life, I rely on a paper diary, an electronic task list and a small red notebook in which I list everything I’m meant to do that day.

If you too keep lists as a way of getting things done, have you noticed how the distasteful or low-priority tasks slip to the bottom or even off the page? Give dog bath usually gets skipped for a few days (added the uncompleted tasks to the next day’s list).

As the subject of lists is up for review, I’d have to say they are essential when planning a

lengthy caravan trip.

Fair dinkum, you’ve no idea. First you need the 10-point leaving and arriving checklists (ours is in 20-point text and laminated), so you don’t drive off with the stabilisers down or the power cable still connected to the box. Stuff like that.

Then you need a laundry list, a pantry list, two personal clothing and effects lists, a gadget list, and an ‘essentials’ checklist which includes checking tyre pressures, making sure the gas cylinder is full and that there are matches and toilet paper in the van (not much use left at home on the kitchen bench). It also helps if you take the ‘dongle’ that allows you to do electronic banking along the way.

Most of you are familiar with the term ‘bucket list’ which was invented by the tourism industry to encourage people to try skydiving,

bungee jumping or going over Niagara Falls in a barrel.

It took no time at all to find a list of bucket list songs swirling around on the bottom of that virtual music bucket, Spotify. Here you will find examples by songwriters including Charles Beckerson and Owen Moore. I’d never heard of them and I’m sure they have never heard of me.

Sasha Cagen took list-making to the wider world, first with a blog and then with a book, To-Do List: From Buying Milk to Finding a Soul Mate, What Our Lists Reveal About Us. As Cagen explained to NPR’s Diversions radio programme, it started in 2000 when she started publishing a magazine called To-Do List.

“The idea was to use the to-do list as a metaphor for all the things that we have to do to feel like we’re grownups.”

She asked readers to send in their to-do lists and in no time had about 5,000 to-do lists of all kinds, such as things to do before I die things to do before I get pregnant. She then decided to share them in a book.

Popular culture aside, the website ocdtypes.com has some pertinent things to say about the tendency for people with OCD to keep excessive lists to remind them of their daily routines.

“Research has shown that people with OCD do not have memory problems, so the lists are actually unnecessary. List-making would be considered a compulsion because the list reassures the person with OCD and helps them to feel temporarily better.”

A lot of lists are about people competing to reach the top of the list. Most domestic lists, by comparison, are about the efficient running of a household and equitable division of labour.

Other people’s lists (like a list of parks and reserves the local Council may or may not sell), can have a detrimental impact on our lives.

English writer and poet A.S Byatt once said ‘lists are a form of power’. More pointedly, Ahmed Yassin said: “there are many resistance movements in the world, like the IRA for instance. But it is only Islamic resistance movements that are put on the terrorist list”.

Despotic leaders have their hit lists and dispatch assassins with poisonous umbrellas and marker pens to cross their enemies off the list.

There is a top 10 endangered world heritage sites list – unsurprisingly most of them are in countries that have been split asunder by civil war. Australia managed to get on this list, however, by not taking care of the Great Barrier Reef. It’s not as if we didn’t know.

The entertainment industry absolutely loves lists, and if you are ranked number one, they will create a whole industry around you (until someone else becomes Number One).

The same goes for pop music, professional sport and politics.

The world is enslaved to lists if you think about it; grand literary contests like the Booker Prize go from long lists to short lists, ditto the Academy Awards and songwriting competitions. Panels appointed to review job applications or ministerial candidates also use the list system.

The traditional ‘bucket’ list usually contains travel adventures, daredevil pursuits and sometimes unattainable goals. This week we are doing just that, realising a dream to spend time exploring Tasmania. You should have seen our ‘to do” list before we left!

Garden Time

GARDENING

Beatrice Hawkins

Many a beautiful thing During the last many weeks that I have been away on family business, I have had very little phone or internet service even though I was only a few kilometres from a country town.

There is a lot to be said for the old landline system! This is why the column has been missing from the paper.

As I travelled home to Warwick I saw many beautiful things in gardens. In particular, spectacularly beautiful, purple Tibouchina as specimen trees/shrubs. I wonder how they fared in the floods at Wauchope, NSW. as they are the street tree of preference there? The festival to celebrate their beauty was to be held over the weekend of 12 March in the midst of the horrendous flooding that NSW and Southern Queensland has experienced.

Known as Lasiandra when the festival commenced 38 years ago, they have had a name change along the way. They are also known as the Glory Bush and typically has brilliant purple flowers but they are many variations of colours and the genus contains approximately 240 different species.

Species are herbs, shrubs and trees but all typically have purple flowers.

They are considered “neotropical” and I don’t really know exactly what that means!

Tropical, subtropical etc. I understand, but neotropical??

Apparently, they originated in South America where they grow over a wide variety of climates and so can be found similarly flourishing in gardens in Australia from Melbourne to

Cairns. They don’t like hard frosts and do like acidic soil. They do need pruning after flowering unless you have room for a large tree and they will flower wonderfully from autumn

incurred might not be welcome!

Roses around town are still providing some lovely blooms and my neighbour picked some lovely bunches earlier this week before the rain. I had three beautiful gardenias flourishing in pots before I left in January but unfortunately, they succumbed while I was away even with the rain we had. The one I had in the ground in the same area is still blooming beautifully and delighting me with its perfume near my front door.

The salvias in the garden close to the front of my house are still flourishing and in fact, need a good cut back. They really are a great plant and these particular ones have been thriving on neglect while I have been away. I will find some more colours and plant them in other spots in the spring.

Before I went away I had picked all the tomatoes and trimmed the bushes back as the rain had really done a job on them. The damaged tomatoes were scattered over an empty garden bed and raked in. Well, in the intervening weeks, I think every seed has germinated and I now have a huge number of plants thriving, flowering and fruiting in said “empty” bed!! I would love to get down there and really see what is going on but that is going to have to wait for a few more weeks. In the interim, I’m sure my wonderful friends and neighbours will look after them for me.

With a broken foot keeping me housebound, I feel really blessed to be living in Warwick and to have so many wonderful friends around me.

right through to winter. There is not a pest or disease that comes near them to quote the ABC gardening experts, and they come in sizes from 60 cm to 8 metres tall! Even the 8-metre size can be kept in check with pruning after flowering.

Another tree I have seen putting on a good show in the south is the Golden rain tree. In that colder area, it has already flowered and has been delighting me with the brilliant orange/red seed capsules for some weeks. There are some in Warwick and Toowoomba that have the capsules in evidence but the lovely trees in the gardens next to me are still in full yellow flowers and look terrific. I look forward to the appearance of the seed capsules that will be there right through winter even though their colour will fade.

I know they are considered an environmental pest here in Queensland but if they are kept under control and managed well they are really a delight. They are a moderately fast grower and relatively long-lived with a lifespan of approximately 50 years.

I certainly would not plant them in an open paddock where they could not be looked after as the wind-born seeds and resultant seedlings really are a problem. Another reason not to have them in paddocks is that every part of the tree is toxic to animals. They have the potential to reach a height of 10 to 12 metres with a similar spread but can be kept pruned to a much smaller size. While they might provide great shade for the stock the veterinary bills

The Spin After the ball party rolls on You never know what is around the corner in sport and life in general. Few fans could have envisaged the startling announcement of Ash Barty’s retirement this past week.

Should we have been surprised?

Barty is one of the few elite sports-person who has always marched to the beat of her own drum as she showed the world when she walked away from the game disillusioned in 2014.

While many speculated back then that the world would never see the best of Barty, she proved the cynics and naysayers so wrong when she returned in 2016.

Her retirement announcement obviously reflects her belief she has given tennis her all.

While she feels she has no more to give there is little more tennis can offer her. She goes out on her terms as Number One in the world.

A Wimbledon crown, her lifelong goal achieved and an Australian Open trophy alongside her 2019 French Open and a US Doubles Open title.

In spite of all her achievements over she has always made it very clear she is a home body who wants nothing more to be home in Springfield with family, her fiancee and her dogs. She never shied away from saying how gruelling 2021 had been.

Good on Ash I say and while I am sorry the Barty Party has come to an end it is so refreshing, appealing and unusually normal to see an elite sportsperson say – “I’m done”.

One of my favourite Barty moments that springs to mind was her reply to a reporters as she headed home after winning Junior Wimbledon as a 15 year old. When asked what she was going to do when she got home she simply said, “Going to Fraser Island with my Dad to go fishing.”

It summed Ash Barty up then and now.

Where the beat of Barty’s drum takes her, only she and those close to her will know but she has given her fans and this country much to be grateful for and I am certain this is not the final paragraph in the Ash Barty story.

The next chapter may not include tennis, but I am sure it is something that will once again make her legion of fans proud.

While the Barty Party has wound up, the Buddy Franklin Frenzy was in full swing on Friday night at the SCG when Franklin kicked himself into AFL immortality with that magical 1000th goal.

As thousands of fans flocked on to the ground keen to be part of the moment, Swans fan Alex Wheeler slipped quietly out of the ground with the famous pill.

Buddy and the famous ball were reunited on Monday with Wheeler admitting he slept with the Sherrin while it was in his keeping.

Surely this player-fan connection that will be more than just fleeting. Wheeler has one amazing story that is his and his alone to share.

COLTS 2021/22 PREMIERS The Warwick Hotel Colts are the Warwick Cricket Association 2021/22 premiers after a great win in the A grade grand final at Slade Oval at the weekend.

It was a win 12 months in the making after their loss to Maryvale in last season’s grand final.

After overnight showers in Warwick, Colts who won the toss sent Maryvale in. James Fern and Jack Ragh opened the bowling. The Maryvale openers had little time to settle before Pat Bourke (3) was caught by Inmon off a delivery from Ragh. The score was 1/5.

The incoming batsman Pat Gordon (6) was having difficulty scoring and was back in the clubhouse after falling to a John Cleary delivery. 2/24 after 14 overs.

Cleary was in the thick of things only a cou28 TODAY Thursday, 31 March, 2022

2022 Warwick Cricket Association premiers Warwick Hotel Colts celebrate after turning the tables on last year’s premiers Maryvale in the grand final. ple of balls later taking a catch off the bowling of Matt Kiernan to dismiss Mitch Darton (12). The score now 3/26 and it is fair to say Maryvale were in trouble. A partnership was needed if the defending premiers were to pull this game out of the fire. Will Gordon was joined in the centre by Michael Bourke and the pair moved the score to 44 before Bourke was out for 12 in the 24th over. Cleary and Kiernan combined again to dismiss the dangerous Maryvale batsman.

The score was moving in the right direction before a good piece of work saw Will Gordon stumped by Maugan Benn off a delivery from Shaun O’Leary for 17.

The dismissal brought Keiran and Paul Bourke together in the middle. The pair put together a much needed 53-run partnership before Paul was bowled by Jack Ragh for 24 with a little more than three overs remaining. The score 6/116.

Maryvale desperately needed a cameo from their tailenders but while Kieran was solid and went about adding to the total batting partners came and went. At the end of the 50 overs Kieran Bourke was unbeaten on 37, the score 8/129.

It was at best a moderate total to chase and Colts were upbeat about their chances although they had seen fist hand what was in the wicket.

Things did not go exactly to plan as Colts began their run chase. Brothers Tom and James Fern opened the batting only to see James run out for a duck by Pat Bourke. The innings just three balls old. The score 1/0 - a perfect start for Maryvale.

Maugan Benn found himself at the crease far sooner than expected but he and Tom Fern looked in control as they moved the score to 49 before he was caught by Pat Gordon off a Paul Bourke delivery. The score 2/49 in the 17th over bringing John Cleary to the centre. Pat Bourke bowled Tom Fern for 12 in the 20th over with the score at 3/51 and Colts were control. Cleary stepped up the pace scoring 28 from 25 deliveries before he was out for 28. The picture was looking bleak for Maryvale. Colts required only 39 to win with six wickets in hand and plenty of overs up their sleeve. Keiran and Paul Bourke combined to dismiss Jack Ragh when the score was 5/111 and the premiership trophy looked to be well on its way to a new home.

Sean O’Leary (n/o 16) and Matt Kiernan (n/o 11) picked up the necessary runs as Colts celebrated a comprehensive win in the 42nd over.

John Cleary was named player of the final after a great all round performance. Cleary finished with 1/13 from 10 overs which included

four maidens. He took two catches and scored 28 runs – one shy of the top score.

In what seemed to perfectly sum up the 2021/22 season the Warwick Player of the Year was shared between John Cleary (Colts) and Pat Bourke (Maryvale).

SOUTHS BACK IN THE WINNERS CIRCLE After several lean years, South’s once again raised the Stanthorpe and District premiership Trophy after a comprehensive win over RSL on Saturday.

South’s won the toss and after the rain heavy rain in Stanthorpe on Friday were happy to RSL in to bat.

It was a disastrous start for RSL losing both openers before a run was on the board. It set the scene for the remainder of their innings .

Duane Lihou the only batter to show any resistance scoring 21 not out. No other batsman reched double figures. RSL out for 81 and the score board would have looked worse had it not been for Mr Extras – 29 wides contributing to a total of 31.

Lachie Pill, the Stanthorpe player of the Year Lachie Pill stepped up taking four wickets. His figures for the game 4/12 from eight overs and included three maidens. He also took the catch to dmismiss RSL captain Luke Brady.

Souths who have been at the top of their game for most of the season were not going to let this premiership getaway.

Lachie Pill and captain Jordan Lanza opened the batting. Lanza was dismissed for six with the score 1/17 but Souths who have been at the top of their game for most of the season were not going to let this premiership getaway.

Pill went on to be unbeaten on 45 as South’s cruised to the easiest of wins in the 27th over having lost only two wickets.

It was no surprise that Lachie Pill was named player of the final. His performance in the final a full stop on a great year.

ORIENTEERS TO TACKLE LODE CREEK Another busy in the day awaits members of the Bullecourt Bounders Orienteering club and their guests this weekend when the group tackle courses in the Lode Creek area east of Stanthorpe.

The venue hosted the 2021 Queensland Orienteering Championships and attracted rave reviews. The areas is a great mixture of open grazing land with scattered granite areas providing for a range of courses extending from easy beginners around the tracks to the more challenging for experienced competitors.

Following the club’s recent successful state standard even at Dalveen, spokesperson for the Bullecourt Bounders, Ms Liz Bourne said organisers are hoping to see plenty of local

participants at Sunday’s event. As a result of the recent rain, running conditions are expected to be very wet but should not deter people from competing.

“Orienteers are a rugged lot and don’t mind getting wet and boggy. “ We’ll turn out in rain, hail or sunshine just to enjoy running through the bush, she said.

Ms Bourne confirmed there will be seven courses offered on Sunday including a short easy beginner’s course.

Once again, experienced club members will be available to assist newcomers to grasp basic map reading and navigational skills.

Anyone interested in trying orienteering is most welcome.

Starts are from 9 -11am and the location can be accessed from the end of Gilbard Road off the Sugarloaf Road and will be well signposted.

If you would like further information, please call (07) 4683 6374 or visit the Orienteering website www.oq.asn.au/event-calendar

GOOD CONDITIONS AND HOT FORM Recently it has been all more about the weather than golf for the Ladies playing the RSL Midweek competition.

This past week the golfing weather gods finally delivered perfect conditions for the Ladies’ Single Stableford competition.

Lisa Stuart has been in hot form recently and continued her winning run with an excellent score of 36 points.

Fiona Kelly is also starting to show her skills and finished just one point in arrears (35) claiming th runner’s up spot. You get the feeling that a nice win is not far from Fiona’s grasp.

Mei Bell who held the pin shot on the third was hot on their heels to take the run down with 33 points. Linda Kelly held the pins at the 5/14th and the 17th.

RIDGEWELL WINS B GRADE TITLE Peter Ridgewell was recently crowned the winner of the Warwick East Bowls Club B Grade Singles title after scoring a 25-14 win over Dave Smith 25-14 in the final.

Last Thursday (24/3) Geoff Creighton and Grumpy Carson won the Three Bowl pairs comepitition hosted by the club. The runners up were Bill Lee and Cameron Wilson runnersup.

Attention now moves to the A grade singles competition and the first two rounds were played last Saturday.

In the opening round Danny Hughes scored comprehensive 21-4 win over Steve Ford. Rob Alcock defeated David Weir 21-14. Matt Shepherd proved too strong for Graeme Wallace. He scored a 21-9 win. Peter Ridgewell also had a comfortable 21-6 win over Peter Dipplesman.

In round two some scores were much closer although Matt Shepherd had few problems defeating Paul Beaman 21-4. Rob Alcock defeated David Weir 21-14. There was little in the game between Ed Diery and Peter Ridgewell.

The final score favoured Diery 21-19.

Danny Hughes had a solid 22-7 win over Johnno Johnson.

Two games of social pairs were also played

Several of the regular Stanthorpe Sporters players were committed to playing the Stanthorpe Golf club’s mixed foursome event on Sunday and this had an impact on numbers out early to play the back nine.

Fortunately, several players who have MIA recently chose Sunday to find their way back to Sporters and bolstered numbers.

It was one of these players, Nigel Eldridge that recorded the best score of the round, nett 26. Eldridge had a steady round and the three pars he recorded to complete his round gave him the edge over runner up Ivan Juriss. Juriss who recorded the lowest gross of the round (41) finished two shots back with nett 28.

There were two pin shots in play. Terry Byrnes is fast becoming a specialist at these par three holes. He held the pin at the 12th and is fast becoming a specialist at these par three holes. For the third consecutive week he landed on the green and closest to the hole to collect the chocolates. Despite a couple of players getting close the pin shot at 17 went begging.

This Sunday, Sporters will again be out and about early teeing off on the front nine between 7-7.30am. As is always the case there is an invitation to everyone to join the group for an early morning walk on the golf course.

CLASS AND EXPERIENCE THE KEY IN FINAL Four Summit based bowlers battled out the final of the 2022 SDMDBA Men’s District Pairs last Saturday afternoon. Conditions on the green at the Summit were overcast and chilly but thankfully the predicated rain did not arrive as Jamie Zamprogno and Tony Schubert played Steve Martin and Mark Spiller.

This developed into a great game of bowls with all the elements of a final.

Scores were tight in the early stages and after five ends martin and Spiller led four shots to three.

They scored six crucial shots after the sixth end and by the ninth had jumped out to a handy 13-4 lead.

Their opponents clawed their way back into contention scoring four on the 10th end and trailed 13-8.

The experience of martin and Spiller came to the fore and with some excellent bowling the pair took control. By the 17th end they held a comfortable 23 – 11 lead.

To their credit Zamprogno and Schubert didn’t give up. Despite winning the last four ends the class of their opponents prevented them from scoring many shots over those final ends and Steve Martin and Mark Spiller claimed the 2022 title 23-17.

Congratulations to the finalists and all those who played throughout the comepitition onlookers were treated to some outstanding bowls over the course of the event.

It was great to see Mark Spiller one of the most talented bowlers in the district back in action at this level after taking a break of several years from bowls.

Congratulations to all the finalists and to the many bowlers who played in the winners and those who played in the SDMDBA event . There were some outstanding bowls played over the course of the comepitition.

The SDMDBA extend their thanks to the team at the Summit Bowls Club for hosting the final. The true heroes of the day were Frank and the team who maintain and prepare the greens at the Summit. Despite the heavy rain on Friday night the green was turned out in excellent conditions and was still running well.

LADIES LEAD THE WAY

CONSTABLE IN COMMAND

Stanthorpe bowlers were out in numbers last week and there were some impressive performances from some of ladies, especially Robyn Smith and Polly Lay who are showing continued improvement each game.

There were several Social games played Wednesday. Margaret Harvey and Jack Bell outscored Dot Rankin and Barry Murphy 15-10. In the first of the triples games Robyn Smith, Greg Hammond and David Rose outlasted Helen Jones, Ray Rankin and Alex Mattiazzi 19-15. Polly Lay, Mark Wicks and Brian Brown held off Ernie Jones, Robyn Rose and Peter Smith to win 18-15.

There were more games of Social bowls on Saturday. Greg Hammond Bruno Stefanon scored a narrow win 18-17 over Peter Smith Ray Rankin Mark Wicks and Gary Trevena. In the other game of three bow triples there was plenty of loud encouragement as Polly Lay, Rocky Thompson and Len Girgenti stole the chocolates from Robyn Smith, Ernie Jones and Brian Brown. The final score a comfortable 2313.

The Stanthorpe club’s upcoming Four’s Carnival is now fully booked and shaping up to be a great event.

A big thank you to the group of volunteers who marked the lines this week.

This week the club would like to acknowledge and thank their featured sponsor Favero Motors. The continued support from David, Warren and Stephen is greatly appreciated.

An uninviting weekend weather forecast and heavy rain on Friday did little to dampen the enthusiasm of Stanthorpe golfers who played another full weekend of golf last week.

On Saturday, a stroke round Saturday’s stroke finalised the Pike Trophy and found the winner of the the Nuffield Cup. Sunday’s event was the club’s mixed foursomes championships with the winners adding their names to the honour list.

Heading into the final round of the men’s section of the Pike Trophy there were a number of players in contention. Scott Constable shot 72 off the stick for a nett 71 in the final round to claim the men’s Trophy.

In the ladies event, Christine Hood played another good round on Saturday and claimed the ladies’ Pike Trophy. Congratulations to Scott and Christine who have added their names to the long list of Pike Trophy winners.

Scott Constable was also the winner of the men’s Stroke round on Saturday and in addition to taking the prize for the event added his name to the Nuffield Cup. Constable’s win however only came after a countback with Greg Fraser who also returned nett 71. Fraser forced to settle for the runner’s up spot.

Christine Hood also won the Ladies event after she returned the lowest nett round of 73 for the ladies. Lisa Stuart (nett 78) was the runner up.

Play in the stroke event and Nuffield Cup was kindly sponsored by club member, Mark McCosker.

Players were back out on the course bright and early on Sunday morning for the mixed foursomes championships played over 27 holes. The championship sponsored by the Golf club is a good test. The mixed teams must complement the others play with players often finding themselves in positions they normally would not experience.

Matt and Nikki Waterworth combined better than the rest to win the 2022 mixed foursomes and add their names to the list of winners. Next best were runner’s up David Reeves and Racheal Hendry. In the nett event, Keith and Helen Jones headed the standings just half stroke ahead of Mark Hendry and Neta Thouard.

Sponsor for the mixed foursomes championships was the Golf Club.

There is always something of interest or a point of contention which emerges from the mixed event. This year was no different with some teams playing from the wrong area. Plenty of discussion surrounded the situation and many different interpretations of the rules ensued. In the end although a decision was made it was disappointing for the teams involved.

This weekend members will hit the fairways on Saturday for the April monthly medal and putting competition. Another chance for play-
