Flushed by floods

By Dominique Tassell A storm over the weekend led to significant flooding in the region, with locals keeping their eyes online at all times to stay updated.

The Condamine River swelled from all the rain, with residents gathering down at Madsen Bridge to take in the sight. It was expected to go under overnight on Monday 4 April, though remained open. It is not yet known how much

damage the flooding has caused to roads in the region, with multiple reports of locals being flooded in or unable to get into town due to the condition of gravel roads after the water had receded.A resident in Emu Vale was unable to

leave their house due to damage after the water receded, stating that SDRC comes out every two years to grade the road and no one can get up or down it due to the current damage.

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) discussed changes to the Saleyards Advisory Committee at the recent Information Session, proposing to implement no minimum for the number of members and no longer require the same ratio of members from different industries. Councillors discussed whether or not to have a councillor as the chair of the committee, with Cr Ross Bartley stating this had traditionally been the case.

Cr Jo McNally stated that the chair should be independent so that a councillor was not forced to vote. Cr Bartley stated that the committee is advisory, not statutory, with Cr Stephen Tancred stating that councillors vote in chambers on the committee anyway. Cr McNally questioned the lack of minimum or maximum for members and the removal of the requirement for different industries, Mayor Vic Pennisi agreed there should be a maximum for members. Chief Executive Dave Burges requested that the documents stay a draft to prevent delays.

Ross Fraser, from Frasers Livestock Transport, spoke on Rose City FM on Tuesday 5 April about the saleyards. He said the resignation of the committee is “not controversial”, and that SDRC simply didn’t follow their advice. He discussed the project itself, stating he believed it was a “missed opportunity for Warwick”. Ross highlighted that the current saleyards do not have the optimal capacity and that it would have benefited from a sales ring.

“If you don’t have a sales ring you have no opportunity to use one,” he said in response to questions about whether it would be used.

Ross said the project was an opportunity for Warwick to be on the front foot, and in a network of modern saleyards with areas such as Roma and Inverell. The proposed saleyards will reportedly not have electronic scanning, and Rose City FM host Kelvin Hutchinson stated this meant they would not have the ability to stream sales in future. Ross joked that this was not his “station” but agreed it was a fundamental thing to have the ability to add technology. Kelvin said a sales ring might have made digitising easier as only one camera instead of putting in every stall. Ross then said SDRC need to view infrastructure with the future in mind.

The project has been criticised for reportedly not overhauling the computer systems as they are reportedly known to fail, however, Ross said computer systems failing is not unique to Warwick.

They then discussed the proposed new canteen, with Ross stating it’s good to have a canteen but workplace health and safety should be the priority. Mark Bradford, who manages the canteen at the saleyards, stated that the canteen is in need of a massive overhaul. The canteen used to be an office and is not ideal for its purpose. Mark said they have problems with the oven, lack counter space, and all their tables and chairs are falling apart.

Cricketers raise the bat

By Emily-Rose Toohey Stanthorpe and District Cricket Association has a dedicated group of cricket tragics whose impact over the years has left an enduring legacy.

Paul Smithers, more affectionately known as Pig, was awarded Life Membership of Stanthorpe and District Cricket Association recently.

His Souths teammate, fellow umpire, and close friend John ‘Chook’ Hendry nominated and presented him with his badge.

John said to the cricketing grand final crowd two weeks ago that Paul has been involved with the association for nearly 50 years as a player, committee member, and now as an umpire.

“Congratulations Paul and thank you for all you have done for cricket in our community,” John said.

John himself alongside Mark Lanza had their names and nicknames (‘Chook’ and ‘Bluey’) professionally painted on the new CF White scoreboard at the cricket grounds, as both men have contributed and continue contributing towards improving the association and its facilities.

John is a Stanthorpe local and has been involved in cricket since 1974, was president for six years, vice-president 20 times, and umpires games.

“It’s a real honour that they thought that much of mark and I,” he said.

“I’ve got more out of cricket than what I put in, I love every aspect of the game and as umpire, I’ve got the best seat in the house.”

Similarly, Mark said having his name on the scoreboard is a privilege.

“I’ve been involved for 37 years, and John and I are both life members,” he said.

“I played soccer for a majority of years, but I have more memories out of cricket because the games always last longer.”

Mark said that John was responsible for organising the grant money for the new scoreboard and Mark himself made the frame.

“We do it to get the best facilities we possibly can,” Mark said.

Floods flush region

By Dominique Tassell A storm over the weekend led to significant flooding in the region, with locals keeping their eyes online at all times to stay updated.

The Condamine River swelled from all the rain, with residents gathering down at Madsen Bridge to take in the sight.

It was expected to go under overnight on Monday 4 April, though remained open.

It is not yet known how much damage the flooding has caused to roads in the region, with multiple reports of locals being flooded in or unable to get into town due to the condition of gravel roads after the water had receded.

A resident in Emu Vale was unable to leave their house due to damage after the water receded, stating that SDRC comes out every two years to grade the road and no one can get up or down it due to the current damage.

They said they had received no contact from any authorities, and their next-door neighbour was resorting to helping out with their bobcat.

The resident stated it would probably be more convenient for SDRC to bitumen the road instead of letting it fall into disrepair and then fixing it every two years.

“It’s quite disgraceful on Council’s part,” they said. “Considering I’m paying rates.”

Locals can report any damage to roads on the Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) app and can find regular updates on road access via disasterdashboard.sdrc.qld.gov.au/ SDRC stated that Council crews were assessing roads affected by the recent floods throughout the day on Tuesday 5 April and, where conditions permit, reopening roads and bridges when it is safe to do so.

Maranoa MP David Littleproud today announced that the Ballandean Football Club and Swan Creek School of Arts Hall will share almost $30,000 in Federal Government funding under Round 7 of the Stronger Communities Programme.

The Ballandean Football Club will replace clubhouse lighting and install a hot water system for change rooms with their $18,500 grant. The new lights will be more energy efficient thus reducing the club’s energy costs and keeping down membership fees. The Swan Creek School of Arts Hall will receive an $11,360 facelift with painting of the hall’s exterior and a new steel kitchen bench. Mr Littleproud sees that the upgrade will make the hall more attractive for hire, in turn injecting more funds for future upgrades.

They thanked the community for their patience and reminded residents to stay safe and never drive, walk, or ride through floodwaters.

Southern Downs Regional Council was

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced the further easing of Covid restrictions on Tuesday 5 April.

“The Chief Health Officer advises we can now safely ease these settings and still maintain a high level of protection.”

Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said businesses and patrons are being given plenty of notice.

“These measures have done their job,” the Minister said.

“By April 14, it is anticipated we will be at a stage of the current wave where we are comfortable to take this next step.

“But the best defence against serious illness is to be fully vaccinated.

“Our focus is now very much on getting Queenslanders boosted and children vaccinated.”

Chief Health Officer Dr John Gerrard appealed particularly to parents of young children to consider getting vaccinated.

“Numbers of young Queensland children vaccinated are still not where they should be,” Dr Gerrard said.

“Their best protection is the vaccine and I would encourage every parent to consider it.”

Pop up vaccine hubs will open at around 50 sites including schools across the holidays, in addition to existing sites.

Queenslanders are reminded that masks can be worn when people feel it is necessary to reduce risk.

Groups pitch for funding

By Dominique Tassell Community groups gathered at Warwick Chambers last week to pitch for funding from Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) ahead of next financial year’s budget.

The media were not informed of the meeting, with no agenda posted until the day beforehand, though community groups confirmed they were given a time to be at the meeting at least a week prior.

Groups pitching for funding included the Stanthorpe & Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce, Stanthorpe Apple & Grape Harvest Festival, Jumpers and Jazz, Granite Belt Wine Tourism, Warwick Art Gallery, and Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery.

As the groups were required to submit their applications prior to pitching to SDRC, not all groups declared how much funding they were applying for.

Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery spoke first, with Director Mary Findlay stating that “what we’ve done in the past is what we’re going to do in the future”.

She highlighted the work of volunteers at the gallery, stating that they have a very low turnover rate with volunteers staying on average for around six years.

Gallery President, Chris Sayer, stated that the annual grant they receive covered two salaried staff.

She stated that the gallery’s reserve is one that any professional not-for-profit would have, and is for emergencies.

Warwick Art Gallery then pitched for $215k in funding.

Director Karina Devine highlighted that they have highlighted a new staff member to look after community engagement.

Karina highlighted the success of the Condamine Country Art and Open Studio Trail (CCART), as well as their recent exhibitions.

She stated that they would like to be able to

Granite Belt Wine Tourism were among the groups pitching to SDRC last week for funding in next year’s budget. pay the artists participating in CCART for their work, and funding from SDRC would help with this.

Karina further stated they need to change over their IT from the current SDRC network and need to update their website.

Both galleries highlighted the impact of Covid-19, with the Warwick Art Gallery stating that it added expenses like professional cleaning as these tasks used to be done by volunteers.

Jumpers and Jazz stated in their pitch that they are aiming to expand the festival’s reach,

including attracting larger sponsors from outside the region to ease the pressure on local businesses.

They also stated that changes to the Regional Art Development Fund (RADF) have “creatwed difficulty”.

Granite Belt Wine Tourism stated in their pitch that they need a website upgrade and have a destination book ready to go that would be able to publish using SDRC funding.

They highlighted the importance of tourism to the region, stating that the next 12 months will see enormous competition in the

industry as borders open.

Stanthorpe & Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce applied for $15k in funding, highlighting two projects.

President Graham Parker stated that $5k of this would go towards the Shop Local Christmas Promotion Market Shopping Day, while $10k would go towards a multimedia project.

The Chamber has approached Lou Bromley from the ABC to interview a selection of Granite Belt businesses and create a podcast and video series for the Chamber’s website.

The Apple & Grape Harvest Festival, represented by Vice President Samantha Wantling, then pitched to SDRC. She stated they were asking for $10k, the usual amount they have received for their past two off-years.

She gave a “conservative estimate” of 45,000 attendees at this year’s festival, stating that they were very pleased with this as the committee this year was “very green” and they faced difficulties such as Covid-19 and extreme weather.

Samantha stated that the committee would like to keep the event alive in their off year by holding a long lunch in March, as well as holding the open gardens again.

The busking usually goes ahead in the offyear, and this will continue.

She also stated that there is upkeep for the festival even in their off-year, highlighting their rent and the salaries of their marketing team, insurance, and their Secretary and Treasurer.

Samantha stated they have purchased their own shed, tables, and chairs so that they will not incur this cost every festival, and so they will be able to provide them to other groups in the community at a lower cost than they would incur sourcing outside of the region.

The committee is also aiming to become more self-sufficient financially, and to sign up sponsorships on a multi-year basis.

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

This week we’re highlighting BUNKER. Age: 1 year Adoption fee: $595 About Meet Bunker, a handsome and affectionate male Mastiff mix born on 25 November 2020.

Bunker’s Dad is a Mastiff x Ridgeback and his mum is a Shar Pei x Red Cattle Dog. He currently weighs 38kgs.

Bunker was adopted from us as a wee, small pup and had been living happily and uneventfully with his family, including another dog, until recently - he started becoming possessive of his food, bones and toys.

Consequently, we’re now looking for a new home for Bunker, where he’ll be the only dog in residence and has no need to guard his resources from the attentions of another canine.

Bunker has a thoroughly sweet temperament and simply loves humans.

He is great with kids and was gentle and loving with his doting six year-old human sister.

He’s also good with other dogs, except in matters of food, bones and toys.

He is untested with cats.

Bunker is house-trained and is used to being an inside/outside dog.

He would make a great addition to any fam-

His adoption fee is $595 and he is desexed, microchipped and vaccinated.

Preference will be given to applicants who have large breed experience and are home most of the time.

He is not suited to full-time workers and, as always, secure fencing is essential.

Applicants must be willing to travel to Warwick to meet Bunker.

Men’s Sheds raising funds for Cancer Council Qld

By Emily-Rose Toohey Members of the Warwick and Allora Men’s Sheds gathered to raise funds for the Cancer Council Queensland last Friday.

Warwick Men’s Shed president Jeff Harth said $210 was raised as members looked at local Alan Saunders’ wide ranging carriage, coach, and history collection.

“Alan’s very knowledgeable and he has a passion for it, as seen with his very extensive collection,” Jeff said.

“Items brought back a lot of memories as a child, it’s just incredible.”

Alan said he has been collecting for over 15 years and first became interested in the different coach builders.

“There’s been some beautiful products over the years, and sometimes some of those come up for sale or auction,” Alan said.

“My mother used to tell me stories about when she was growing up and she drove her siblings to school in a sulky, so when I got the chance to buy one, it started from there.

“We tend to think of the coaches as pretty pre-historic, but the coach builders were pretty clever with what they came up with.”

Alan said he has hosted gathering’s like the Men’s Shed event in the past with the same purpose: to raise money.

“I never do a money raiser for myself, the money always goes to the Cancer Council of Queensland,” he said.

Alan Saunders at the gathering last week.

“I have been doing this on occasion since I opened the shed.”

Peter D Matthews: Yes, this is an issue that has raised its head on a number of ocassions, especially when it came to de-amalgamation, where certain Councillors did not turn up, and others had vested interest, possibly a potential, perceived, or actual conflict of interest whereby they should not have voted in that instance, as the outcome might profit their businesses. A concise policy that cleans up all ambiguities would be an advantage.

Council green tick for PARG

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) approved in principle the Stanthorpe Chamber of Commerce’s Public Art Project Proposal Application subject to a number of conditions.

The four conditions were that all other appropriate approvals were gained prior to the installation, a risk assessment is completed to SDRC’s satisfaction prior to any installation, the final design is put out to community consultation prior to installation, and the final proposal is clear of the Quart Pot Creek flood zone.

The purpose of the Public Art Reference Group (PARG) is to provide SDRC with strategic guidance and/or recommendations in relation to Public Art projects, activities and events for the Southern Downs Region.

PARG is comprised of six members, including the Deputy Mayor, two Council staff, the two Art Gallery Directors and one community member.

Proposals for Public Art in a public space must be accompanied by a Public Art Assessment Application submitted by the applicant.

The proposed sculpture is to be located along Quart Pot Creek in Stanthorpe and is intended to commemorate the 150th

Anniversary of Stanthorpe.

The sculpture aims to capture the energy and fervour that tin mining brought to Stanthorpe, and that gave birth to the town.

It will consist of a large granite boulder with a pan used for panning tin.

The pan will be more than double the size and forged from stainless steel.

A deep polished smooth swirl will be carved into the granite boulder behind the pan.

This will resemble water and capture the energy and motion of this movement as if the pan is being swished by giant invisible hands.

The energy and fluid motion of the pan brings this sculpture to life and represents the energy and effort that the town of Stanthorpe was created from.

Inside the Pan, a lump of tin will be placed as if being caught by the eager miner.

Comments on the proposed sculpture were that “it will be a cultural asset that will continue

to create interest and entertain into the future” and that it will “enrich our natural environment and our knowledge of cultural heritage”.

The report did state that the submission did not include a risk assessment and as such, it is not possible to determine if public safety requirements have been or will be met.

It was proposed that the application be resubmitted and reassessed with that attached.

It was also commented that the application lacked detail regarding the budget, and there was no specific site identified.

The panel were split three for and three against, to support the application in principle, with the risk assessment being the main area of concern.

SDRC approving the submission in principal means that they can be asked to submit further information prior to moving forward.

The motion was moved by Cr Andrew Gale and seconded by Cr Cameron Gow.

Delayed financial report presented at SDRC meeting

By Emily-Rose Toohey A financial report from 28 February was received and noted at the last Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) meeting. This financial report was being presented at the second meeting of the month due to a lack of meaningful payroll and costing information in time for the first meeting.

“This is a combination of February being a 28 day month, the timing of the meeting, and the timing of the payroll cycle,” the report said.

Cr Stephen Tancred said that of the eight departments outlined in the report, three

had surplus and three met the budget requirements.

As per the report, the following significant variations being investigated include, wage expenses, materials and services, capital grants, and interest income.

“Wages expenses are above budget by 7.4 per cent or $1.2 million. The biggest contributing factor is the capital wages budget is currently underspent by $3.1 million, indicating a larger than expected proportion of wages has been costed to operational expenses.”

Regarding material and services, the report stated that council is lower than budget by 25.9 per cent.

HAIL DAMAGE TO ROOFS IN WARWICK AND STANTHORPE

“This follows a pattern of lower actuals in the first half of the year, the major differences are contractors underspent by $5.6 million and general materials underspent by $2 million,” the report said.

“Revenue from capital grants is over budget by $8.6 million. The additional revenue has been recognised as part of the March Budget Review.”

Grant opportunities and the success rate of applications are not always easy to predict, and the timing and associated recognition of payments received is unpredictable. Cr Ross Bartley echoed this statement at the recent council meeting.

“Interest income is higher than budget due to higher than expected cash balances,” the report said.

As stated in the 28 February 2022 report, the report said that council had $79.3 million in cash at bank and investments.

“This is the largest balance in the available records and is a product of prepaid grants, particularly flood restoration grants and identified capital funding not yet spent,” the report said.

The March budget review proposes that the Capital budget is reduced to $39m. The motion was moved Cr Tancred, seconded by Cr Andrew Gale.

No objection from council

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) moved at the recent Ordinary Council Meeting to advise the Department of Resources that they do not object to the application for permanent road closure of part of Mt Pleasant Road, Goomburra.

SDRC received a request for views in relation to an application for road closure over part of Mt Pleasant Road, Goomburra. The applicant requested views on a temporary or permanent road closure.

Views from SDRC are required to accompany an application for road closure to the Department of Resources.

The applicant is the owner of three lots and proposes to close part of the road reserve that adjoins the common boundaries of two of these lots.

It is proposed that the land would be amalgamated with the adjoining land for grazing purposes.

In February 2022, views were sought from the Directorates of Council.

SDRC’s Infrastructure Services provided no objection to the application for road closure, stating that access from the eastern end of the road reserve is very steep and dangerous.

SDRC’s Corporate and Community Services provided no comment on the application.

SDRC’s Planning and Development offered no objection to the temporary or permanent closure of the road reserve.

They stated that neither adjoining lot has access to a constructed road. The area contains some significant areas of very high and

SDRC moved at the recent Ordinary Council Meeting to advise the Department of Resources that they do not object to the application for permanent road closure of part of Mt Pleasant Road, Goomburra. high potential bushfire intensity. Any permanent road closure should therefore be subject to the road reserve being amalgamated with the adjoining lot.

SDRC’s Finance, Assets and Special Projects offered no objection to the application for permanent road closure. This section of road is not currently maintained by Council and due to the terrain, it would prohibit a road from being constructed to link up with North Branch Road, Goomburra.

As SRDC’s Directorates have offered no objection to the application for the permanent road closure over part of Mt Pleasant Road, Goomburra, it was recommended that SDRC advise the Department of Resources that they offer no objection to the application.

The motion was moved by Councillors Andrew Gale and Cameron Gow.

Don’t close Slade St: SDRC

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) moved at the recent Ordinary Council Meeting to advise the Department of Resources that they object to the application for permanent road closure over part of the road reserve off Slade Street, Maryvale.

SDRC received a request for views in relation to an application for permanent road closure over part of the unnamed road off Slade Street, Maryvale.

Views from Council are required to accompany an application for road closure to the Department of Resources.

In late 2020, SDRC received a request for views from the owners of 19 Slade Street, Maryvale for an application for the temporary closure of the road reserve adjoining their land.

This is the same area of land that is now subject to the application for permanent road closure.

SDRC did not object to the application for temporary road closure.

In June 2021, the Department of Resources granted a road licence for the temporary closure of the area.

This meant the underlying tenure of the area is still a road.

This licence can be cancelled at any time with no compensation.

This would allow the applicant to use the road reserve until it is required for use

by SDRC. The property at 19 Slade Street, Maryvale transferred to new owners in December 2021.

The owner of 19 Slade Street, Maryvale is proposing to make an application to permanently close the subject road licence area.

The applicant has advised that they in-

tend to plant trees and gardens on the land to add to their adjoining residential land.

In February 2022, views were sought from the Directorates of Council: SDRC’s Infrastructure Services provided an objection to the application to permanently close part of the road reserve off Slade Street.

The views have not changed since the original views were provided in October 2020 (application for temporary road closure).

The basis for the objection is that SDRC may require this area of road reserve for parking or access as part of the Urban Development Framework.

SDRC’s Corporate and Community Services provided no comment on the application.

SDRC’s Planning and Development provided an objection to the application to permanently close part of the road reserve off Slade Street.

The views have not changed since the original views were provided in October 2020 (application for temporary road closure).

The basis for the objection is that this area of road reserve will provide access and linkage from the railway parkland as part of the Urban Design Framework and Masterplan for Maryvale.

SDRC’s Finance, Assets and Special Projects provided no comment on the application.

There is no objection to the current road licence which allows the adjoining owner (the licensee) temporary use of the land to continue until such time as SDRC requires the road reserve.

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

Council notes report on Stanthorpe Fitness Centre

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) received a report on the operations of the Stanthorpe Fitness Centre at the recent Ordinary Council Meeting.

The report detailed the Fitness Centre’s operations for February 2022.

The agenda stated that SDRC provides a critical service to the residents of Stanthorpe by way of operating the Stanthorpe Fitness Centre. While the Fitness Centre has existed for many years, SDRC has been providing this service since the Stanthorpe YMCA ceased operations in late 2017.

SDRC has at this stage committed to continuing to operate the Stanthorpe Fitness Centre until June 2023. The report stated that “in order for an informed decision to be made on the future of this operation, it is important that Council is aware of the level of patronage being received by the Fitness Centre”.

The report tabled at the recent meeting was the first of ongoing monthly reporting to be provided to SDRC to enable them to make a fully informed decision on the future of this service.

A total of 18 classes are run per week at the Fitness Centre, with a total of 883 people attending classes throughout February.

Outside of the classes access to the Stanthorpe Fitness Centre is provided by either membership or casual use access.

Yearly and monthly memberships are available for Gym-only and Gym and Exercise classes.

Additionally, there are monthly student and family options available as well as SDRC staff discounts on memberships.

Passes are also available in lots of 10 and 20 visits.

Seniors’ visit memberships are also available.

As for casual usage, there are multiple options including Student, NDIS, and Pensioners rates.

The report detailed that in February, 20 1-month gym-only memberships were recorded, as well as 13 1-month full memberships, and one SDRC staff 12-month membership.

16 10-visit cards were recorded, as well as six 20-visit cards, and one senior visit card.

Cheers to the sweet nostalgia of an old-time beverage A Stanthorpe family is improving the resilience of their farm by championing the resurgence of an old-time beverage.

The Fawdon family - Ellen, Justin, and Justin’s father, Tony - of Budburst Australia produce terroir-driven, artisan vinegars, using handpicked whole fruit from their apricot and black plum trees.

The unique products have found favour with fine-dining chefs, at-home cooks, and those with a taste for drinking vinegar whether as a cordial or in shrubs, the 17th century scurvy cure now enjoying a revival with bartenders and the sober-curious.

Justin Fawdon said the vinegars have allowed the family to get the most intense flavour from their fruit while reducing risk and waste, after years of adverse conditions.

“By no longer having to transport whole fruit to market, we can leave the fruit to fully ripen on the tree, letting the sugars mature to their maximum potential and bring out those old fashioned, candy-like flavours many remember from childhood,” Justin said.

“Many ‘flaws’ that would have led to the fruit being rejected before, like slightly split skin, don’t matter now.

“If anything, the changes in weather that cause them actually add to the unique flavour of each batch, like climate influences wine vintages.”

Once picked, the stone fruit is left to infuse premium Granite Belt vinegar for 10 weeks before being filtered by hand.

The result is a vibrant and versatile tonic that can be used to pickle and preserve, el10 TODAY Thursday, 7 April, 2022

Ellen and Justin Fawdon. evate salad dressings, added to water for a refreshing drink, or craft ‘shrubs’ - a simple but flavour-packed syrup or cordial made with macerated fruit, sugar and vinegar.

Shrubs have a long history of being used for flavour and health benefits in centuries gone - sailors, pioneers trekking across America or deserts, rural families and more would use the vinegar to preserve fruit and

medicinal herbs, prolonging access to necessary nutrients.

Even when no longer driven by need, the acquired taste became a mainstay in bars and parlours, and in recent years is enjoying a resurgence in both cocktails and the lowto-no alcohol beverage trend.

The idea for the vinegars and their potential use in shrubs came from Ellen, with Stan-

thorpe’s long-lasting drought the catalyst.

The family was preparing to rip out their remaining fruit trees to make way for oregano and other hardier plants, and Ellen said she was experimenting with potential oil and vinegar herb infusions.

She added fruit from the two varieties that were still producing in spite of everything Black Amber plums and Sweet Golden apricots - and soon realised they were onto something special, with early customers agreeing.

“We love sharing recipes and getting people excited about all the ways to use it, but a lot of vinegar drinkers also just seem to find us - they’ll see us across the markets and come right over,” Ellen said.

“Older generations remember their parents or grandparents drinking vinegar in water after a hard days’ work for the natural electrolytes, but we’re seeing an increase in the younger crowd too, thanks to recent knowledge about the gut-health benefits.

“For both of them, ours offer a completely new flavour.”

Justin said that there are still some risks with their new direction, but the flavour payoff is worth it.

“Fruit and sugars can be hard to work with, which is why most other fruit vinegars use juice concentrates or synthetic blends rather than infusion,” he said.

“But then you lose the more delicate notes and sense of place and season.”

Budburst is available for nationwide delivery, and in selected stores and markets in South East Queensland.

SDIEA trainees lend a hand

By Dominique Tassell

To the zoo!

By Allora Photography Group On Saturday 12 March, members of the Allora Photography Group descended upon the Darling Down Zoo. Our April Meeting topic is ‘Wildlife’, so what better place to find some animals that we wouldn’t normally see in the area.

Steve and Stephanie and their wonderful staff made us all feel extremely welcome and were very helpful and informative during our wanderings.

To see so many different types of animals, from so many different parts of the world in our own backyard was quite amazing and most were only too happy to pose for a group of eager photographers.

I know the lions and tigers were of great interest, but I don’t think any of our members could truly pick a favourite from the weird, the wonderful and the cute.

Southern Downs Industry Education Association (SDIEA) trainees helped out at the recent CelticFest in Warwick, doing tasks such as putting up tents and organising the canteen.

Eight locals are currently undertaking their Workplace Skills Traineeship (Business), a paid traineeship run over 18 weeks which commenced in January.

The project employs locals full time to work for SDIEA while also supporting major local events such as Stanthorpe Apple & Grape Harvest Festival, the Warwick Show, CelticFest, and more.

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

SDIEA is also currently running their paid Traineeship in Conservation and Eco System Management, with 15 people across the Southern Downs employed for 20 weeks to work on partnered projects with Landcare, Southern Downs Regional Council, Queensland Parks and Wildlife,

Hermitage and Rivertrust.

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

SDIEA are offering a Cert 2 Health Services Qualification for the first time this year. The program commenced in early February.

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

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

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

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

They all had a personality and cheekiness that left you wanting more and we hope our photos have done them all justice.

Thank you, Steve, Stephanie and staff for a wonderful day and we hope to see you again one day.

Bountiful begonias bloom A friend recently gave me a beautiful big begonia flowering wonderfully in a large pot. I am no indoor plant grower but remember admiring these when my lovely mother in law had them growing in the front entrance of a couple of different houses she lived in on the NSW mid-north coast and around Narromine.

I have always put them in the too hard basket for myself and have never attempted them.

Now I have been gifted this big beauty and so am finding out about them. I see there is already another small one coming up in the pot so hopefully, I will be able to keep everything alive and flourishing.

Apparently, they are part of a group of 2,000 flowering plants that are native to tropical and subtropical areas, often grown as indoor plants in cooler areas and grown for both their flowers and different foliage.

With 2,000 flowering plants and then all the different cultivars and hybrids, there seems to be a never-ending supply to choose from.

There are bedding begonias otherwise known as wax begonias, small, sun hardy plants that can be grown anywhere in Australia. Sun hardy must be true also as I remember an uncle growing them very successfully in full sun as a border to the cement path in his garden in the full heat of a western N.S.W. Narromine summer and they looked terrific.

Next, we have Cane or Angel Wing begonias named for their growth habit or the shape of the leaves. This I think is what mine is. Lovely

shaped spotted leaves with bronze underside and hanging bunches of pale pink flowers. My west-facing window should be a good spot for it as there is a verandah there also. It would only get some fairly late afternoon sun and not be too hot. A tray of pebbles and water with the pot sitting on the pebbles should be the way to provide the needed humidity according to the experts. They also assure me they are almost foolproof!! For me, they will probably need to be!!

Now we come to Rex Begonias which are grown primarily for their amazing leaves that can be green, burgundy, silver, black, pink, purple or metallic!! Added to this these colours can be in swirls, stripes, splotches and spots.

They grow from a rhizome and do well in pots in moist shade house situations. I have also seen them grow in moist, semi-shaded areas and thrive.

Then we have Tuberous begonias. These apparently can tolerate high temperatures but prefer cooler climates with low humidity. They grow to about 50 cm with lots of showy, brightly coloured flowers. Because of the weight and proliferation of the blooms, these may require staking. They do well in pots or in the right area in the garden. They flower all spring and summer and the tuners can be lifted and stored after they die down in autumn.

Last, on the list I found, are Elatior begonias identified by the distinctive heart-shaped leaves and clusters of small single or double flowers. These seem to be exclusively an in-

CONDAMINE SPORTS CLUB

door plant and the advice is that they should be kept out of direct sunlight and treated carefully as they are very easily damaged.

All begonias are frost tender and like good drainage. In fact, from what I’ve read, the easiest way to kill a begonia, regardless of the variety, is to overwater it. It is best to let pots dry out a little if in doubt about watering and also water at ground level to avoid the risk of increased fungal infections of the leaves. It seems the ideal potting mix is the same as for African violets. Remove dead and yellowing leaves regularly also to avoid this problem. It is not necessary to deadhead the flowers as they generally self-clean with the flowers falling when finished and so take care of themselves.

They can be grown from seed, leaf and stem cuttings, division and rhizomes or tubers depending on the variety.

The usual problems apply with aphids, snails and slugs and can be dealt with in the way that suits you best.

The lifespan of begonias is only about 2 to 3 years, even with good care so it is important to propagate them if you need to keep them going. I guess I am going to be learning how to do that, as this is a very special plant, given for a very special and important situation.

I certainly know a lot more about begonias than when I was given this lovely gift. However, I don’t know that I feel very confident about looking after my special plant, but will give it my best shot and trust beginners luck!

Feedback considered on expanded waste management services Council acknowledges and appreciates the considerable feedback it has received from the community through social media, emails and customer service enquiries regarding expanded roadside designated waste collection area and encourages residents to take advantage of the three-month free period.

More than twelve thousand Southern Downs households currently benefit from the convenience of kerbside waste collection and the plan to expand the waste collection area provides more residents with access to Council’s full suite of domestic waste services and bolsters the region’s recycling capacity.

Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi said the expansion aligns with Council’s vision to provide modern and efficient waste collection services across the region.

“I want the community to know that its feedback is valued. Council will be reviewing the matter in the coming weeks and provide a further update to residents in the expanded collection area before the end of June,” Mayor Pennisi said.

KEY POINTS • A comprehensive audit was conducted by Cleanaway on each property to ensure a service could be safely delivered.

• Council approved the designated waste collection area at an Ordinary Meeting on 23 February 2022. The service will commence from 4 April 2022 with a free three-month service and charges will commence from 1 July 2022.

Wallangarra celebrates Neighbour Day 2022 The proud and tight-knit community at Wallangarra came together for a spot of bingo to celebrate Neighbour Day on Sunday 27 March.

Celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year, Neighbour Day is a national initiative launched by Relationships Australia to reduce loneliness by building respectful and sustainable connections across communities.

Funding from the Commonwealth/State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (2018) made it possible for Council to get on board with the initiative this year and Southern Downs residents across the region were invited to apply for grants of $200 each to host neighbourhood-organised events on Neighbour Day.

• The 1150 residential properties in the expanded catchment who have received bins will be surveyed as part of the three-month launch period.

• Residents close to the area who have not been initially included but would like to opt in are reminded to contact Council to be considered.

Mayor Pennisi also said that a lot of work had been done behind the scenes prior to the rollout and he encouraged residents to fully utilise the service during the first three months so that the full benefits to their households and the region’s environmental footprint can be assessed.

“In 2020, the Southern Downs community disposed of more than 27,000 tonnes of waste into landfill and in 2021, not only did the Stanthorpe landfill reach capacity, but Council also invested in the construction of a new landfill cell at Warwick,” he said.

“We don’t want to keep digging holes but that is exactly what will need to happen if we don’t manage our waste in a much smarter way.”

Visit Council’s website at sdrc.qld.gov.au/ living-here/waste---recycling/whats-onin-waste-recycling for more information.

Council closely monitoring flying foxes Council has noted an increase in flying foxes across the region and is closely monitoring several colonies on a regular basis.

While flying foxes may cause some concern within the community, they are a native species protected under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 and Council is obliged to follow the Act’s guidelines when managing the animals’ activities.

Manager for Environmental Services Darryl Brooks said Council is currently working on a Flying Fox Management Plan for the region as a focal point for future management interventions.

“Flying foxes play an important role as pollinators of many of our native trees and shrubs and regularly migrate from site to site,” Mr Brooks said.

“We are monitoring a number of colonies

across the region, in particular a relatively stable colony roosting at Gleeson Park, Stanthorpe.

“Relocating this colony could prove problematic and most likely unsuccessful. We are seeking the patience of nearby residents and park users as we anticipate the animals will naturally migrate from the region in April.

“Council is currently drafting a management plan for future seasons and a key element of this plan is to identify alternate roost sites outside of urban areas and make them more attractive to flying foxes.”

Residents are reminded that although flying foxes may carry infectious viruses that can be harmful to humans, Queensland Health considers the risks of infection to be very low. More information is available at www.health.qld.gov.au.

The Guide The fab four: Amanda Keller, Barry Du Bois, Dr Chris Brown and Miguel Maestre return with season 11 of The Living Room.

PICK OF THE WEEK THE LIVING ROOM 10, Friday, 7.30pm

If the sneak peek of season 11 of The Living Room is anything to go by, the crew are swinging back to the ’60s for a whole lot of fun. But for hosts Amanda Keller, Dr Chris Brown, Miguel Maestre and Barry Du Bois, variety is the spice of life: we don’t expect them to spend long in their psychedelic ’60s getup before another round of dress-ups takes their fancy. One thing fans can expect from this fun and enthusiastic lifestyle series is the return of The Help Desk and heartwarming stories of the team lending a hand to Australian families and communities in need, along with a series on travel for dummies and some pretty special dinner guests to keep everyone on their toes.

Tonight, Miguel embarks on a ‘Crazy Bull Five-Star Tour’ of Melbourne with Chris, who has no idea what he’s in for with the charismatic chef in charge.

Meanwhile, Barry and Amanda help a local soccer club in need of a makeover. It’s reliably fun Friday night fare.

JANET JACKSON Nine, Sunday, 8pm

From her underprivileged childhood to becoming one of the highest-selling artists in music history, this four-part exposé manages to shine new light on Janet Jackson’s (pictured) life.

It was filmed over a five-year period, compiled using home footage, interviews with family and friends – including some of her brothers, mother and fellow musicians, Missy Elliott and Paula Abdul. In this double-episode special, Janet’s early years, including her personal life and career missteps, are put under the magnifying glass.

BRITAIN BY BEACH SBS, Monday, 7.35pm

The beautiful and rugged coastline of Britain has seen more than just ice creams and children’s toes in its long history. While presenter Anita Rani (pictured) is, of course, partial to a sorbet on the sand, she is also keen to reveal the remarkable stories that have taken place on the country’s beaches.

She begins her windswept, salty air pilgrimage in Devon, where she recounts the wartime disaster Exercise Tiger, visits a gorgeous hotel adored by writer Agatha Christie and encounters a haunted village.

THE ROOKIE Seven, Tuesday, 8.30pm

Now that we’re more than halfway through season four of this comfort viewing-style police dramedy, it’s questionable whether we can still call its main protagonist, middle-aged cop John Nolan (Nathan Fillion), a rookie, but this season really has dialled up the drama. In “Heart Beat”, Nolan is confronted with big moments, both personally and professionally when a plane crashes in the city. Then, in “End Game” Officers Chen (Melissa O’Neil) and Bradford (Eric Winter) investigate the murder of a homeless teenager.

Rural Links This week on the farm

By Judy Barnet, Ag Columnist Saturday was cleaning up day. I had people coming to inspect the sheep so I set myself a goal of the kitchen, entrance room and front verandah. Anything that is brought home naturally gravitates to the dumping ground of the entrance room until put in its proper place.

Much to Spider puppy’s delight, this includes many socks and a vast array of shoes. More magazines than you would find in a waiting room and just, well, Stuff.

With a 5 am start the rooms looked at least presentable. Pikelets were cooked and the sheep were sorted into pens. The prospective buyers arrived and had a good look over the sale lambs in the pens outside the house as well as the rest of the sheep Richie had yarded early in the morning. An inspection of the poultry completed their visit but they did not have time for a cup of tea. Never mind. I have a couple more inspections coming up so I will endeavour to keep the entrance room tidy until then. We also dined well on pikelets that day!

After lunch, we drenched all the ewes and sorted them into groups to put with the rams.

We usually join on 1 April, only a few days away, so to save getting them in again we decided to bring the rams down to drench and then to put in with the ewes in their respective paddocks. Luckily we did as one of the rams had poll strike and another was lame. Fortunately for me, the two rams in question were not needed this year. The Shropshire ram got to work straight away. He has five ewes but for some reason last year two were scanned not in lamb and a third lost hers to the cat or fox. This year I will be following Bruce Tom’s advice and taking the rams out after eight weeks. It was just on dark by the time we finished so we got cleaned up and were extremely grateful for the meal that was provided by our cottage guests.

In some sad news, we lost one of our original Muscovy ducks, Ruffles. I was driving up towards the house on my return from work and right before my eyes Ruffles flapped a few times and fell down. I jumped out to attend but sadly she passed away within a minute or two. She only had minor injuries – her eye was badly damaged and she was missing quite a few feathers. What did this we shall never know but, no doubt, she was protecting her ducklings. They have now been taken over

by Mrs Puddleduck. The injuries may have been caused by the feral cat, a chicken hawk or a goanna. I suspect the chicken hawk was the culprit. Richie saw one having a fight with a fully grown guinea fowl a few days before. If he hadn’t gone out I believe the chicken hawk would have won the fight. The feral cat has been spotted a couple of times but I don’t have proof of it killing any of our poultry, yet! Ruffles contributed to the enjoyment of many guests

Mrs Puddleduck, Mr Puddleduck + 15 Ducklings.

So shows have the following divisions of classes: Large Soft Feather Bantam Soft Feather Large Hard Feather Bantam Hard Feather Waterfowl And occasionally classes for Turkeys and Guinea Fowl.

We have a new patron for the Rare Breeds Trust, Michael Peel. He is a world-renowned poultry expert and waterfowl breeder. Michael owns Peel Ridge Stud at Camden in NSW and recently sold a pair of Toulouse geese for $4250. In his early years Michael grew up with dairy cattle and pigs but he is known all over the world for his world-class Toulouse geese which he has even been asked to export to other countries. He has generously agreed to send me some of his photos and I will highlight some of our interesting goose breeds in the next few weeks.

This week I received a parcel in the mail from Rick Pisaturo. Rick released a book in 2010, “Australia, My Love – from prisoner of war to Order of Australia,” and generously sent a copy for me and one for our cattle director, Yan Kleynhans. Rick also included a copy of “Stud Beef Cattle Breeding and Common Sense,” a book published in 1978. Rick had a very successful Shorthorn stud in NSW and also created the Mandalong special breed. He was also the first to import and start the Chianina breed in Australia and also the Charolais Breed. In later times he was to create the Square Meater and also the Tropicana Breed.

Rick has contributed hugely to Australian agriculture and cattle breeding. On top of this, Rick had a thoroughbred stud and is known for his research and writing on arthritis in livestock. A great man indeed! This book is available online (www.rickpisaturo.com.au) and all profits are donated to St Vincent’s Prostate Cancer Centre We have some friends camping at the moment and they have a beautiful German Pinscher dog, Dickie. He absolutely loves playing with Dora and together they have a ball. It is a great exercise for both of them and they even go swimming together. Dickie met Spider today. He is far more gentle with Spider than Dora who continually bowls Spider over.

Heritage Southdown Ewe Lamb. during their cottage stay. She would take her ducklings up to the guests and ask for some grain. She would eat out of their hands. I think we all shed a tear when she passed away.

As I write I am again running late for the deadline. We were struck down with a tummy bug this week and it knocked us all for six. Even this morning when I felt a little better, I was exhausted after a walk to the dam with Dora, who had been cooped up for two days with only a feed and a pat.

It is only when you get sick that you realise how valuable your health is.

We were very excited when friends came over and put up a shower down at the dam. We laid a slab and drainage about a year ago but that was as far as it got. There has always been a septic toilet down there but a shower was on the wish list for when friends come camping at Easter. We even have gas hot water!

Returning home from work on Thursday the first thing I noticed as I drove in past the gate was a small group of sheep including the ram. Sadly, I noticed the ram was lame, not a good sign. I knew from past experience that even if a ram is only a little lame it will not service the ewes. My other problem was that I had sold all my home-bred rams as I had hoped to get one more year out of my home-bred Southdown ram. I had sold some handy rams to Scott (who also has a Southdown stud) so after a phone call he agreed to sell one of the rams back to me. I am very grateful indeed to Scott. Some of the lambs will arrive a bit later this year but that is not a bad thing. It will enable me to keep up with the births and tagging and also have more pens available for ewes

having triplets. Previously I have lambed triplets out in the paddock but the foxes and feral cats have cleaned up so many of them.

The sale lambs have grown really well in their paddock with a bit of grain, so much so that if I were to take pictures and videos of them now, they would present so much better.

Unfortunately, the catalogue is already out.

Most of the videos have already been uploaded but I might re-number them and take some more if I am feeling up to it tomorrow.

I was unable to get over to the Warwick Show as it clashed with the wedding, however, RBTA Poultry Director Cathy Newton has given me the following poultry results: Bird of Show was the Standard Partridge Brahma exhibited by Tracey Lamb. Reserve was a White Indian Runner Duck by Jack Murphy. Champion Bantam Soft Feather was a Black Langshan Pullet. Champ large hard feather was a Pit Game, Champion Waterfowl was the runner by Jack Murphy, Champion Bantam Hard Feather was an Indian Game female.

For poultry novices Soft feather breeds are all the “soft” feathered breeds which happen to be all the Poultry breeds except the Game Birds – Game Birds are called Hard feather – this has to do with the feather shaft, the soft feather breeds have a lot more plumage on their feathers. The difference between Large Breeds and Bantam is the smaller version of the large fowl however there are some breeds that are Bantam only and have no Large counterpart and visa versa– eg, Seabright and Japanese Bantams are true bantams. Silky is classified as a large fowl and has no bantam counterpart.

Rain felt at sale yards The markets this week as in much of our livestock catchment areas were affected by the rain events.

Many vendors were unable to transport stock and many roads were only going to be damaged if they attempted.

Campbell duck on the bill

By Judy Barnet, Ag Columnist Campbell - endangered - 191 breeding aged adults reported in 2021 The Campbell Duck is a light laying breed with an excellent reputation for numbers and quality of eggs.

Mrs Campbell, the originator of the breed, wished to produce a useful, actively foraging, moderate-sized, good looking duck, capable of producing a large number of good sized pearly white eggs.

The Khaki Campbell duck was introduced by Mr Campbell, in the year 1901 as a purely utility egg duck. The goal was was to introduce a laying duck that would turn out many really good pure white eggs per year. It was to be a bird which would be hardy and capable of laying a large number of eggs during the worst month of the year, as well as in the glut season. The Khaki Campbell is now known the world over, and is held in high esteem by all who keep them.

Campbells have become a regular at poultry shows and are also good sitters and mother ducks.

General Characteristics The main characteristic of the Khaki Campbell Duck is its wonderful power of egg production. Other characteristics are: The pearly white colour of the eggs, its extreme hardiness, the delicate flavour and quality of the meat and the serviceable and useful colour of the plumage which does not easily show discoloration through mud and rain.

The Campbell is a bird of medium size, with a nice cobby body - the carriage of the body is just normal; they are of a quiet temperament, and when handled and managed are not wild.

In type the Campbell is distinctive. Taking the general outline in both sexes, the head is carried high, with shoulders higher than saddle, and with the back showing a gentle

slant from shoulders to saddle. The neck is of medium length and almost erect, yet gracefully moulded. The chest is well rounded and prominent and, with the underline from chest and stern being somewhat rounded, the whole body appears compact or slightly compressed, while retaining depth throughout, especially from shoulders to chest and from middle of back through to thighs. The legs are not too far back, so that good abdominal capacity is noted in the rear without excessive sagginess in the ducks.

While aiming at good body size emphasis must be placed upon quality or refinement in general. By this is meant neat bone, sleeky, silky feathers, smooth textured face, refined head points etc with absence of coarseness, sluggishness etc.

CARRIAGE: Alert, slightly upright and symmetrical; head and shoulders carried proudly; legs medium in length and well apart to allow of good abdominal development, not too far back.

HEAD: Bill proportionate, medium in length, depth and width, well set in a straight line with top of skull. Head refined in jaw and skull.

EYES: Full, bold and bright, showing alertness and expression, high up in skull and prominent.

BODY: Deep, wide and compact. Front broad and well rounded. Back wide, flat and medium in length, gently sloping with shoulders higher than saddle. Abdomen well developed at rear of legs but not sagging.

Underline of Breast and stern well rounded to permit depth through body at shoulders and from back to thighs.

WINGS: Carried close and rather high.

TAIL: Short and small, rising slightly with usual curled feathers in drake’s tail.

PLUMAGE: Tight and silky.

STANTHORPE TURNS 150 1892

The original aim of the Show Society, one of the oldest in the district, was to encourage the production of fine quality produce. Boy Scouts built this bridge to celebrate at the new show grounds in 1910.

1892: The Governor visits The following is an excerpt from The Brisbane Courier on 22 February, 1892.

The Governor at the Stanthorpe Show Today was the opening day of the fifteenth annual exhibition of the Border Agricultural, Horticultural, Pastoral, and Mining Society, and I have much pleasure in noting that the show, though in some respects inferior to some of its predecessors, is on the whole a most gratifying success.

The weather so far has been perfect-warm and dry, but sufficiently bracing to make a very agreeable change from Brisbane.

A thunderstorm accompanied by a rainfall of ninety points visited the town on Monday and freshened up the grass, which had commenced to feel the effects of the previous long spell of dry weather.

His Excellency the Governor had promised to open the show, and in anticipation of his visit somewhat more attention than usual had been bestowed on the decorations.

Flags of all nations were arranged along the entire front of the society’s grounds, while above the entrance was a large scroll bearing the inscription, “Welcome to Stanthorpe.”

This gave a very attractive appearance to the grounds of the society.

The railway station had also been tastefully decorated with the view of offering a suitable welcome to the representative of her Majesty.

The special train that was to bring his Excellency had been timed to reach Stanthorpe at 11.

Owing, however, to the morning Brisbane train being late the vice-regal train did not reach here till half-past 11.

His Excellency was received at the station by the chairman (Mr. W. H. M’Quaker) and the members of the Stanthorpe Divisional Board, and presented with an address of welcome, which was read by the clerk.

He was then conducted to the goods-shed, on the veranda of which the State school children had been drawn up under the superintendence of Mr. Wilson, the head teacher.

As soon as the Governor had taken his place in front of the line the little people sang the National Anthem, after which be gave them a short address and begged for them an extra day’s holiday.

The request was acknowledged by ringing cheers for Sir Henry Norman, Lady 22 TODAY Thursday, 7 April, 2022

The vice-regal party, accompanied by Mr. Foxton, the member for Carnarvon, were then driven to the local hospital, which they in-

spected, and with which they expressed themselves to be much pleased. The party then went to the show grounds, where his Excellency was received by the president (Mr. Foxton) and the

two vice-presidents (Messrs. W. H. M’Quaker and A. H. E. Barton), and presented with an address on the part of the society. His Excellency then declared the show open.

Like a pair of odd socks The latest contribution from Rose City Writers, this week from FLEUR LIND... Check out more short stories at Fleur Lind’s website fleursfabulousfables.wordpress.com

12544616-AI14-22

ODD SOCKS Poppa Don had a list as long as your arm of his favourite things. If he were to launch into a verse or two of the legendary song by Julie Andrews, he would have to sing twice as many verses to cover all the things he considered to be his favourites.

One such favourite thing was any time spent with his young great grandson, Dan. If he had been told once, he had been told a thousand times by his darling wife of over 60 years, life partner, best friend, and maker of the best pikelets on the planet, and known to the numerous offspring as Nanna Elsie, said he wasn’t supposed to have favourites, but Don thought Dan was pretty close to being one.

It wasn’t favouritism as such, he loved all his grandchildren and great grandies, equally, but sometimes a strength shone through in one of their characters that made Don’s eyes sparkle even brighter.

Don was an immensely proud grand and great grandparent, but where Dan was concerned, he could not help himself.

And as Dan was the only child of his oldest Granddaughter, Erin, he didn’t have siblings to compete with for airtime with either great grandparent.

Dan had called around one warm afternoon after a day packed with exams at high school to see his beloved ‘old’s’ and pick some mandarins from their tree.

While sitting in the cool shade of the veranda, peeling his 3rd mandarin, Dan asked a big ‘life question’.

“What’s the secret to a long happy marriage, Poppa Don?” “Cripes, mate! You’re not thinking of getting hitched, are you? You’re just a boy!”

“Hell no! It’s my girlfriend. Her moods change fast. I figured you’d know what to do because you and Nanna Elsie are so happy.”

Don was thoughtful as he rubbed his chin.

“That’s easy. Think of girls like socks.”

“Uh? Socks?” Dan squinted with confusion.

“Don’t go losing the plot on me, Poppa Don!” “No, my plots good. Socks. Women are like socks.

“See, it’s like this. It all depends on which way the wind’s blowing.

“Like a windsock.

“Over the years you get to read them like a book.

“Sometimes you bear down for a storm, other times, it’s there might be a gentle breeze or it’s calm and pleasant. Easy.”

“Socks,” Dan rolled his eyes and peeled another mandarin, feeling none the wiser. “Okay then,” he sighed.

“Then there are the odd ones. Odd socks, I mean. Where the wind’s blowing in opposite directions. They’re a bit of work, and no mistake.”

“I think that’s what I’ve got. She’s just like a pair of odd ones.”

“I’m hearing you, mate. Stick with it though, the storm will pass. Take her some mandarins.

That’ll help, for sure.”

“Is that what won over Nanna Elsie? Your mandarins?”

“Yep, she’s just as sweet, pips and all.”

Dan grinned, Don smiled his smile. In a complicated, confusing world, Don and Dan were a force to be reckoned with, regardless of the wind direction.

OPINION WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Granite Belt water security. $210 million could buy the Granite Belt a pipeline to Connolly plus raise the wall on Storm King Dam plus provide rainwater tanks attached to all buildings on town water plus provide money to support water efficiency processes for all farmers on the Granite Belt.

Now, that would go towards providing water security for all the Granite Belt community.

Instead, we have $210 million of taxpayer and ratepayers money being given to a private company to provide water to 50 growers at the end of a pipeline from a white elephant, shallow, evapouration pond purporting to be a dam!

What sort of economic efficiency is this?

What drives the politicians of our local council, state and federal governments to use their power over taxpayer & ratepayer monies in this way?

We need a real debate about water security on the Granite Belt.

Not a debate about a dam for 50 growers.

Our Council has an Environmental Sustainablility Strategy where it aims to “Promote local successes and experience in water use efficiencies in agriculture” and “Increase regional water security”.

The Council Plan says it will do this by maintaining “environmental flows” and providing “holistic water strategy incorporating town water, groundwater and recycled water”.

The Plan also says the Council will provide “demand management and supply consider-

ations including connections across the Local Government Areas and with the SEQ grid”, and “opportunities for increasing water supplies and securing contingency sources”.

This Council Plan is outlining that Granite Belt water security is achieved by increasing water supplies. This can be achieved with the Connolly Dam pipeline, raising the Storm King Dam wall and providing tanks attached to all buildings on town water.

The Council Plan aims for demand management which incorporates water efficiency measures for all water users.

The Council Plan aims to promote water efficiencies in agriculture.

I think the $210 million of taxpayer and ratepayers money should be used to provide water security for all the community of the Granite Belt and not a private company building a shallow evapouration pond [dam].

On the weekend we had family from all over Queensland come and stay with us because my baby sister Amelia was being baptised.

Nana and Papa came from Townsville and Grandpa and Nana T came down from Hervey Bay and a family friend called Bev came up from Brisbane. And Nonna and Dan Dan already live here so they were here too of course.

Amelia was baptised by Alan at the church in Liston which is just over the border in New South Wales and we went to the Liston Hall for morning tea afterwards and that was the best part of course. Amelia looked lovely in her special dress and she behaved really well even though babies usually cry a lot when they get baptised. We just gave Amelia a little dummy to chew on and that kept her happy. I think she likes it when there are lots of people together around her. William and I got to hold Amelia and mum took this photo.

After the baptism we had William’s birthday party at our place. William turned eight back last month but because we all had COVID we had to put off his party until the weekend. All of William’s grade three school friends came and they had pizza and lollies and a North Queensland Cowboys birthday cake because William supports them. I support the Broncos of course but because William was born in Canberra when mum and dad were in the Air Force down there he has funny ideas about which team he should go for.

Ratings vs prestige

By Emily-Rose Toohey The 64th Annual Grammy Awards took place is Las Vegas on Monday, and the best in modern music came out to celebrate.

The many hours long ceremony spaced out its award between performances from the likes of Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X, BTS, Silk Sonic, and Olivia Rodrigo to name a few.

The Recording Academy - like so many other major awards bodies - is no stranger to controversy.

They are notorious for major snubs like The Weednd in 2021, and have only recently removed their secret voting committees.

But the one thing the Grammy’s have never seemed to feel compared to the Oscars, for instance, is overwhelmingly prestigious.

Yes, the awards are the highest accolade a recording artist can win, but they don’t feel as meaningful.

Basically, there’s been so many scandals and even more drama every year that the importance of the awards has been damaged to an extent.

In terms of audience appeal, producers know what their audience wants most, unlike the Oscars: to see their favourite artists perform.

However, as a result, the show has turned into a glorified version of the MTV Music Video awards.

With the Academy Awards this year, there was plenty of controversy about them choosing not to televise eight crafts awards.

The Grammy’s have been doing this for years with most of their categories, saving the televised portion of the show for the main awards and performances.

Jon Batiste, Olivia Rodrigo, and Silk Sonic came away with the night’s top prizes, and a beautiful tribute to the late Stephen Sondheim was a highlight.

See the top winners below: Record of the Year: “Leave the Door Open”, Silk Sonic Album Of The Year “We Are”, Jon Batiste Song of the Year “Leave the Door Open”, Silk Sonic Best New Artist Olivia Rodrigo Best Pop Solo Performance “drivers license”, Olivia Rodrigo Best Pop Duo/Group Performance “Kiss Me More”, Doja Cat Featuring SZA Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album “Love For Sale”, Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga Best Pop Vocal Album “SOUR”, Olivia Rodrigo

An overcast morning greeted the Langham Slashers Golfers held at the very scenic Clifton Golf Course and was sponsored by the Condamine Club. Albeit the forecast was for rain the golfing gods were apparently smiling upon us as it wasn’t until the completion of the day’s play before the onset of a light drizzle occurred.

The fairways and greens of the Clifton Golf Course were in excellent condition and are a credit to the Clifton club members who, with the assistance of a part-time greenkeeper maintain the course and its associated facilities.

Last Sunday’s tournament was conducted over eighteen holes in lieu of the normal ninehole competition. The winner on the day with his usual articulate game was Greg Wallace with an adjusted Nett 71, one stroke better than Wayne Wells on 72 who incidentally also claimed bragging rights for longest drive on the 7th fairway. Not content with winning the day with the best-adjusted score, Greg Wallace also had the best gross score of 84, only 14 strokes over the course par of 70.

Laurie King displayed his approach skills on the 300-metre 8th fairway taking out the prize for Best Approach while Greg Wallace and Peter Balfour won Nearest to the Pin on the 4th and 9th respectively. While the putting greens proved a challenge to most players mainly due to their lack of exposure to the Clifton Golf Course, nevertheless the overall standard was more than acceptable with Greg Wallace (once again) pipping Laurie King for best putts with 32 on a countback; Peter Seidel, who was having his first game with the group, was awarded the “Ollie Ball” for most putts – things can only improve Peter. Finally, Rob Lyons was awarded the Bradman Prize for the highest Nett score of 91.

Following the game, the group adjourned to the clubhouse for the presentation of the various awards whilst enjoying a barbcue lunch

The Spin Poms are bitten by Midge Any sports enthusiast who did not watch the Women’s ODI World Cup final on Sunday missed a something really special.

You could be forgiven for thinking that the Aussie team did it comfortably on the back of Alyssa Healy’s record-breaking innings of 170 off 138 balls.

In the end, I guess you have to say it was a comfortable win however Natalie Sciver kept the Poms in the hunt with a great innings of 148.

On any other occasion this would have been a score that would have got her team over the line. This time it was not to be, but it did provide this Aussie supporter and others with a few anxious moments.

Healy has certainly stamped herself as one of the best final players, male or female in the game.

Although she smacked the bowlers all around the ground it was a measured performance from Healy.

It took her 62 balls to score her first 50, her second coming in just 38.

It was a stunning batting performance from the opener on the back of her 129 against the West Indies in the semi-final.

The final was a different day, different ground, different opponent – even better result. Healy now has two Player-of-the-Final awards in as many world tournaments.

I can tell you it was a privilege to watch her live in the T20 World Cup final against India at the MCG. Although Healy undoubtedly stole the limelight on Sunday, cricket is a team game and to win a World Cup you need an excellent team. The Australians are just that.

They went into the final with an enviable ODI record having have lost just two of their 41 ODI games since the disappointment of the 2017 ODI World Cup. Brilliantly captain by Meg Lanning who has stamped herself of one the best leaders in the game it is not hard to see the reward for investment by Cricket Australia in the women’s game.

These players are highly skilled highly professional and entertaining and there is plenty of depth just waiting in the wings. The game was a cricket lovers delight, and it was great to see the passion and joy this group of players have for the game.

Meanwhile have Healy (aka Midge) and the Aussie team stepped up to take the place of Ash and the Barty Party as our Aussie heroes?

COWBOYS IMPRESSIVE WIN IN OPENER The Warwick Cowboys opened the 2022 season with an impressive win in their away game against Pittsworth.

To some extent the Cowboys have flown under the radar in the preseason, but last weekend scored a convincing 30-10 win over the Danes.

Veteran Mick Bloomfield has laced on the boots again this season and a move to five eighth might just have reinvigorated the Cowboy’s captain as he opened the scoring the with Warwick’s first try of the season.

There was little between the sides in the first half and Warwick went to the sheds at half time with an 8-4 lead in what was a scrappy first half.

Both sides had several missed opportunities and there was plenty of dropped ball.

Warwick came out in the second half and grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck scoring three quick tries.

Although ball handling was still an issue, their scrambling defence throughout the game was good and they capitalised on Pittsworth’s errors.

28 TODAY Thursday, 7 April, 2022

Warwick cowboy’s headquarters looked more like a lake than a rugby league oval following the deluge early in the week. The fate of this weekend’s home games was still to be decided as water began to recede.

MARCH MEDAL FOR STIBBARD

Natahn Stibbard booked his spot in the Stanthorpe Golf Club Medal of Medallists round later in the year after a return to form saw him win the April Monthly medal on Saturday. He is pictured receiving his trophy from sponsor Richard Reardon.

Keiran Fender had a great start to his season with a man of the match performance and picked up the Player of the Round Award.

Fender played big minutes, laying a good platform for the young Cowboy’s back line.

Mitch Watson, Josh Cruice and Bloomfield also led from the front as Cowboy’s supporters have come to expect. Lock Byron Creighton and centre Morgan Byrne had had eye catching performances while Cody Byrne made an impact off the bench.

This was game one of a long season and while players at times looked rusty there was plenty to like in the win.

No doubt Coach Matt Grew will have identified areas of improvement but would have been pleased with the result.

It was a good start to the season by the Cowboys who still have some experienced heads to return to their line-up.

Sam Broomhill is one. Broomhill, who gets who married this weekend missed the opener and will be unavailable for the next few games.

He will be a welcome return to the side.

The Cowboys first round performance showed they plan to be in the mix again come the business end of the season.

Warwick 30 (Tries: Mick Bloomfield (2), Morgan Byrne (2), Cody Byrne, Keiran Fender, tries Mick Bloomfield (3) goals) defeated Pittsworth 10 (Luke Hill, Mitch Albury tries Jordan O’Shea goal) Webcke Price Medal Points: 3 Keiran Fender (Warwick), 2 Nick Finnie (Pittsworth), 1 Cody Byrne (Warwick)

Warwick made it a clean sweep in all grades with comfortable wins in the Reserve Grade (34-8) and Under 19’s (30-12).

This week the action is set to return to Fr Ranger Oval on Sunday for the first home game of the season against Goondiwindi.

PAUSE ON HOME GAME Warwick Cowboys officials, players and supporters held their collective breaths as flood water rose early in the week spilling across Fr Ranger Oval, hoping the water would not make it into the club house.

Fortunately, as this edition goes to press the water got to with 75 ml of the doors to the clubhouse and while that is good news there is grave concern for the state of the footy field.

The club invested heavily in the playing surface during the off season, and it is heartbreaking that before a ball has been kicked in an official game it has been inundated.

Club Secretary Candy Grew said the executive would meet on Tuesday night to discuss “where to from here” for this weekend’s scheduled home games and will like press pause on playing the game at their headquarters.

Grew said that if the ground is unplayable the club has a couple of options which include the possibility of moving the game to Collegians Oval or with more rain predicted approaching Goondiwindi to play the game in GoondiwindiS at Gilbert Oval.

Any change of venue will be notified by the club on their Facebook page and also on the TRL official Facebook page.

With March in the rear-view mirror, it was time for Stanthorpe golfers to turn their attention on Saturday to yet another monthly medal competition and for someone a chance to book their place in the Medal of Medallists round at the end of the year.

After the course received its share of rain last week, players were expecting tough conditions for the day sponsored by club member Richard Reardon.

Nathan Stibbard was back in the winner’s circle after returning not only the best nett score of the round (70) but also the best gross score of 76 off the bat.

Keith Jones survived a countback with Mark Hendry to be named runner up after both players finished with nett 72. There was some consolation for Hendry had the least number of putts (21) for the round.

Christine Hood’s nett 73 was good enough to win Ladies Medal. Lisa Stuart had a round of 77 nett to finish runner up. Her gross score of 94 was the best for the Ladies. Margie Locke was on song with the putter winning the Ladies putting award for her 28 putts.

The Men’s pin shots were evenly shared.

Matt Waterworth held three, Matt Burgess 12 and Nathan Stibbard at 17.

While Nikki Waterworth has success at three, Lisa Stuart at 12 and Lyn Ludlow at 17 for the ladies. Matt Waterworth, Greg Fraser and David Reeves each collected for a win at the pro-pins while the birdies nest was unclaimed.

In the run down, it was a ball to scores of 75 and better for the men while for the ladies those with scores of 79 and better picked up a ball.

This Saturday a Single Stableford event sponsored by Go Vita courtesy John Bylicki has been programmed. I understand John has organised some interesting side specials for the day.

The Warwick golf Pro, Sam Eaves, will be running a putting and chipping coaching session at the club from 9am and I am sure there are a number of players who will find the session useful. Sam’s mobile pro-shop will also be available for members. If you are chasing any special gear, please give Sam a call as soon as possible to ensure he has what you need on board so if any special gear is needed, There will also be some giveaways on the day, but remember the early bird gets the worm so be sure to get there in time and don’t miss out.

Play in the afternoon session gets underway at 11.30am and there is a time sheet on the board.

Following Sam’s putting and chipping clinics, I expect to see some good results particularly around the greens.

Many of the mysteries of the game of Croquet can be solved this weekend - simply attend the Warwick Croquet Club’s Open Day on Saturday from 10am - 2pm. Club headquarters are located in Leslie park close to the cnr of Gy and Albert Streets.

A CHANCE TO UNLOCK CROQUET MYSTERIES If you are interested in Croquet and its many disciplines or simply curious to unravel the mysteries of this game that has been played for centuries, the Warwick Club is holding an Open Day this Saturday between 10am and 2pm. Members of the public are invited to drop into the club located in Leslie Park near the corner of Guy and Albert Streets. You simply need to wear sensible shoes and a hat and enjoy as much or as little time on the lawn as you like. All necessary equipment will be provided and there will be friendly experienced club members on hand to help and provide advice and explanations. Why not go along and give it a go.

CANCELLATION SMALL INCONVENIENCE Weather seemed to impact everyone across the region and this past week the Stanthorpe bowlers reported their mid-week social program was cancelled due to the wet conditions however everyone agreed that was an insignificant price to pay in comparison to those bowlers in the Lismore and Tweed Coast districts who have lost so much.

With improved conditions on Saturday came the opportunity hit the green. Ray Rankin, Bruno “the unbelievable” Stefanon and Peter Smith took the chocolates in their triples game against Helen, Jones Rocky Thompson and Mark Wicks. The final score 20-8.

The game between Greg Hammond Ernie Jones and Len Girgenti and opponents Poly Lay Robyn Smith and David Rose finished in a cliff hanger. The last end was particularly

rowdy as Hammond, Jones and Girgenti snuck away with a 17-16 win.

The pairs game was another close game as Robyn Rose and Brian Brown held out Dot Rankin and Jack Bell 21-18. the club hosted a group of travelling bowlers on Saturday morning and on Sunday a group of local barefoot bowlers enjoyed their time on the green. These events are proving very popular and if you, a group of friends or an organisation has ever thought about barefoot bowls give the Stanthorpe Bowls club a call to learn how easily this can be arranged.

The club’s featured sponsor this week is M and D Auto. The club wishes to acknowledge the support and ongoing sponsorship of Mick and Judy Spiller.

SCORES REFLECT CONDITIONS Scoring in Sunday’s shoot from the 300yard mound on Risdon Range last Sunday reflected the hot humid conditions of the morning.

There was just the hint of a light breeze in the fine conditions. In the Open Class, Richard McKillop put down another perfect shoot.

Greg Wilson also shot well finishing not far off McKillop’s score to nail second place.

In standard class Dave Taylor also had a good morning to claim a win beating runner up young Charlie Montgomery.

The sporter/hunter class was unusually quiet. Bob Tyllyer had a good morning winning the class.

Results F Class 300 yards Open - (max 126) Richard McKillop (126.10), Greg Wilson (124.13), Daryl Reck (120.5), Bruce McAllan (119.8), Margaret Taylor (118.5), Craig Montgomery (118.5).

Standard – Max (126) Dave Taylor )122.8), Charlie Montgomery (109.4).

Sporter/Hunter (Max 105) Bob Tyllyer (103.10), Ben Squires (84.4), Jamie Squires (82.5).

This Sunday Shooters from the Southern Downs Rifle club will be at the 400yard mound on the Risdon Range for their weekly shoot.

Sign on is at the normal time of 8.30 am ready for a 9am start. If you require further information regarding this weekend activities or the Club, please contact Margaret on (07)46 661 018.

WINDY CONDITIONS AT SUMMIT Conditions on the green at the Summit Bowls Club on Saturday were windy but otherwise fine as bowlers prepared for an afternoon of Social Bowls John Fairley, Rod Newlands and Tony Schubert scored an emphatic 30-4 win over Balmer, Eddie Zanatta and Michael Sweeney.

The second game of three bowl pairs was a little closer but Sylean Fairley, Trudy Elder and Adrian Jackson still scored a convincing 29-18 win over their opponents Margaret Harvey, Pam Moore and Jamie Zamprogno.

In the pairs games Cliff Jones and Alex Mattiazzi defeated Barry Murphy and Zel Zam-

progno 28-23 while Brian Brown and Carl Sutherland scored a 22-15 win over John Graham and Phil Davis.

COUNTBACK FOR DIV ONE MEDAL After several weeks of good playing conditions, the Warwick Ladies mid-week golf competition was a wash out on Wednesday.

The sunshine reappeared on Saturday and a field of 27 ladies played the April monthly medal event, sponsored by Warwick Condamine Sports Club.

In Division One, Gwen Mills and Mary Young each returned 75 nett and a countback was necessary before Gwen was declared the winner and secured the Medal.

Di Macdonald secured the Division Two medal after she also returned 75 nett. Runner up was Lyn McKillop (79 nett). Featuring in the rundown were Sam Hinze (76), Narelle Norris (80), Kath Devereux and Anne Lyons (81).

Roslyn Darton had the best of the front nine. The top putter in Division with One was Gwen Mills with 25putts Two 2 Judy Lester and Division Three Roslyn Darton.

Pro pin winners were Di Evans, Sam Hinze, Mary Young and Anne Lyons.

On Saturday, weather permitting, the ladies will be back in action playing a a White Single Stableford sponsored by Style Shoes.

WEATHER SCUPPERS CLIFTON MIDWEEK FOURS The midweek fours competition at the Clifton bowls club was another event to fall foul of the weather last week with the event cancelled due to local flooding.

Fortunately, it was not a lengthy disruption and bowlers were back on the green for Thursday Night Bowls and there was a good crowd.

The winners of winners were the Untouchables, Jade, Mick and Jeremy who had an 11-5 win over Unsalted Peanuts (Gordon, Hazel and Jack). Unsalted picked up the winners of losers prize which eased the disappointment of their loss.

In other results Ben and Andy 20 had a very convincing 20-4 win over Braydon and Trevor.; Rock n Bowlers danced their way to a 13-8 win over Holey Rollers 8. The Bowling Stones proved too good on the night for the Daley Rural team winning 10- 7. Indestructables 17 Julie, Heather and Colin has no answers and were rolled by the Indestructables 17-7 On Saturday there was a good roll up for the Gavin Lehr sponsored day.

The overall winning team was Steve Marriott, Janette Frahm and Dave Smith. They

opened their account with a 13-6 win in game one over Gordon Bond, Brian Betts and Glynn Knight. They secured the overall win when they scored a 14-8 win over Gail Faulknau, Fred Ruhle and Red Daley in the second round.

Runners up Gavin Lehr, Annette Larkin and Les Smith bounced back after an 11-9 loss to Gail Faulknau, Fred Ruhle and Red Daley in their first game to score a 15-6 win over Hazel Nicholson, Ryan Daley and Prem Ryatt.

David Hoskins-Meech, John Cochrane and Marion Skaines won their first round game against Des Desaux, Gordon Jago and Jack Woollett 9 – 5. In round two they defeated Joyce Bond, Michael Kindelan and Jade Parkinson 9-7.

The teams of Gordon Bond, Brian Betts and Glynn Knight and Des Desaux, Gordon Jago and Jack Woollett both lost their opening games. In their second game they played a nine all draw.

WIN NUMBER ONE FOR McDONNELL Warwick Greenkeeper Shane McDonnell enjoyed his first win in the Warwick Second Division Monthly Medal competition.

McDonnell played a great round shooting nett 64 on a difficult course and survived a countback from second division runner up Craig Burgess.

It was a day when despite the tough conditions scores were surprisingly good.

Shane and his team have the course looking in magnificent condition and no doubt the win gave him a great deal of satisfaction. Well done on the win and the job you are doing on the course.

The Spin From page 29 Geoff Hinze won the division “A” medal with a score of nett 69. A countback was also needed in this division when Ross Bell (obviously showing the benefits of a recent holiday) also returned the same score.

Cameron Watt scored a nett 65 and Sam Eaves shot a nett 66 (a fantastic 63 off the stick) thanks to some brilliant short iron play with his new wedges. Kel Lucas and Peter Hynes both had 68 while Clayton Frank recorded a 69, Dave Duroux and Wayne Walters 70 and Rhys Farrell rounded out the ball run down with a 71 two over off the stick.

Clayton Frank won the pro pin on the 13th and collected five balls while Wayne Rhea picked up fourballs, Geoff Hinze three, Shaun Campbell two and Shane McDonnell the final ball.

The ever consistent Michael Hoskin seems to be getting a handle on his new clubs and won the pin at the fifth pin. Clayton Frank won the seventh, Mitch McLennan the ninth, Clive Pulley the 11th and Ted King the 16th.

In all there was an outstanding field on course for the event which was once again sponsored by John Dee Meats. The field included a group of players from Borneo Barracks who reportedly loved the course and vowed to be back.

This we Saturday the club has scheduled a Stableford event. I am sure everyone will have one eye on the weather for the remainder of the week after the deluge early in the week.

A reminder to members that nominations for the upcoming Match Play Championships close next Saturday. Nominations are on the board at the club for those late nominations

CRAZY CRITTERS Saturday things got a little more crazy than usual at the Southern Cross Bowls club as the roll up played Crazy Bowls. In essence losing teams change inks at the completion of 10 ends. It makes for a lot of fun and more than a little mayhem.

The team with the highest score and who came home strongly in the second half was the combination of Rob Francis, Cita Weir and Dave Scotney.

Individual who went home with prize money after their names were drawn out of thee hat were, Geoff Davis, Cate Gardner and Rob Francis.

This Saturday the club is holding an event not to be missed – the Flood Appeal Charity Bowls Day which begins at 12.30pm.

PRESIDENT BACK ON TRACK There was another good turnout for the Stanthorpe Sporters Sunday nine hole round last week.

The back nine was in play which meant there were two pin shots to aim for and no need to go down to the very wet sixth hole.

President Ray Thorn has had a few awkward weeks recently which have seen “eights” added to his score card. Last Sunday he put the eights to bed and as a result returned a much more respectable nett 25. A cut of the cards was called for when Ivan Juriss also returned nett 25. The cards favoured the President and he picked up the win while Juriss settled for runner up.

Aaron Simmers collected the first run down after returning 26 and Margie Locke the second for her nett 27. Both players are not far off a win, and it will be no surprise either one pop up in the winner’s circle sometime soon.

It was a long process but eventually the Best Gross went the way of Dick Hilton following a three way battle in the cut of the cards with a six beat a three and a two. Who would have guessed.

Ivan Juriss held the pin shot at the 12th and Dick Hilton the pin at 17.

Sporters will be out and about again this Sunday morning. Tee off is not too early, 7.308am and the front nine will be in play.

Golfers and non-golfers are welcome to join Sporters as there is no requirement to hold an official handicap – if necessary, one will be allocated on the day.

DRIERY BOOKS SPOT IN FINAL Only one of the scheduled Warwick east Bowls Club A grade semi-final matches was played on Saturday.

Ed Diery scored a comfortable 25-10 over Matt Shepherd and has booked is place in the final. Due to unforeseen circumstances the second other semi-final could not be played.

A revised date for the semi-final game and the final are yet to be decided.

While the semi final was being played Social games were also played. From the eight games of scroungers played, Peter Collis emerged as the overall winner. Rob Alcock finished runner up and Graeme Wallace in third place. Peter Collis also took home a share of the jackpot.

Look for results of the club’s monthly triples game which is played today in next week’s Spin.

This Saturday there will be the normal mixed social bowls games which commence at 1pm. Please submit names for these games by 12.30pm.

Nominations are now open for the self-selected pairs competition. The competition is open to men’s, ladies’ or mixed teams.
