INSIDE OPINION .................................... page 13

Free flu jabs for Queenslanders All Queenslanders will be offered a free flu vaccination as the State faces a severe outbreak of Influenza A. Covid-19 measures had reduced flu cases to almost nil since 2020 but more than 4,000 cases have already been reported in 2022.

Cases in Queensland are doubling every week increasing from 1,848 to 4,282 in the past week.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk expressed concern that all of the impacts of Covid-19 including absenteeism, interruptions to supply chains and health services will be duplicated and exacerbated by a simultaneous outbreak of Influenza A. The vaccines will be available free from GPs and pharmacies from now until the end of June.

All Queenslanders should speak with their local GP or pharmacist to see which vaccine is available to them.

There are no changes for people already eligible under the National Immunisation program. People eligible under the National Immunisation Program should continue to access the influenza vaccines from their usual vaccination providers.

For more information go to the Queensland Health website.

IN BRIEF Cannabis possession On 19 May, detectives and police from Warwick found two large one and a half metre cannabis plants during a search of a property on Roona Road, Junabee.

As a result, a 63-year-old male was charged with producing dangerous drugs, possession of dangerous drugs and possession of utensils.

Rangers Road theft Between the 15 and 20 May, offenders entered a business shed on Rangers Road and stole a quantity of power tools.

According to Warwick Police acting officerin-charge Sergeant Cameron Slater, no exact figure of what was stolen has been determined and the incident is still under investigation.

Traffic crash At 2.30pm last Friday, a two-vehicle crash occurred at the corner of George and Pratten Streets.

Warwick Police acting officer-in-charge Sergeant Cameron Slater said one driver failed to follow a give way sign.

However, there were no serious injuries and no one has been charged.

Medals on display

By Emily-Rose Toohey Last Friday, World War I medals once belonging to Captain William Montague ‘Mont’ Cory were officially displayed at Warwick RSL. Mont was an ancestor of the Cory family and was donated to the Warwick Sub-Branch

by David, Margot and Ben on 12 April.

The medals on display are a Military Cross with Bar (awarded in 1917, bar added in 1918), a British War Medal, a Victory Medal, and a 1914 to 1918 Medal.

Warwick RSL historian John Telfer was re-

sponsible for organising the display on behalf of the RSL, and he said the medals will be kept safe.

“There wouldn’t be too many displays in RSL’s around Australia that have a Military Cross,” John said.

“It’s such a highly decorated thing that families wouldn’t donate them - they’d keep it within the family.”

However, John said that the Cory’s would like to ensure the awards are kept protected and safe, which the RSL is promising.

“Mont was awarded for his gallantry and outstanding duty in the French Campaign in Belgium,” he said.

John is notable for researching and writing historical pieces about past locals, including Captain William Montague ‘Mont’ Cory.

This was published in the 21 April edition of Warwick Today and Stanthorpe Today in honour of Anzac Day. Anyone interested in seeing the medals in person can visit Warwick RSL on 65 Albion Street.

Between the 14 and 20 May, a house and shed were broken into on Ford Road at Rosenthal Heights.

A window was smashed to gain entry and a large quantity of power tools have been taken.

Warwick Police acting officer-in-charge Sergeant Cameron Slater said that matter is still under investigation.

Assault at Leslie Park On Sunday 22 May at 2pm, a male was sitting in Leslie Park talking to another person, when he was approached and assaulted by a group of males.

The victim sustained injuries to the head and facial area.

He went to the police station after the incident and was taken to hospital.

Police are investigating the incident further.

Pensioners League honours two new life members The Australian Pensioners League Warwick awarded two of its members with Life Memberships two weeks ago.

At the group’s regular meeting spot at the Cowboy’s Clubhouse, Warwick branch president Michael Holland presented the awards to Ruby Johnson and Ida Jackson.

Ida first joined on 4 October 1984 and Ruby joined in March 1994.

At the Thursday morning meeting, Michael said the awards were approved and passed at a management meeting in March and were then presented in front of the club’s current members.

After the meeting finished, which included their regular raffle draw with members

winning an assortment of food items, the group had morning tea.

Warwick Pensioners League is the old branch in Queensland, having first formed as the Australian Pensioners League in 1937 by Arthur Ernest Pacey.

Michael said the group will be celebrating its 85th birthday in September, with the promise of events in honour of the milestone to occur.

Warwick Today and Stanthorpe Today congratulates Ruby and Ida on their achievement.

Ben Armbruster.

Armbruster’s Aus honour

By Emily-Rose Toohey Stanthorpe local Ben Armbruster has qualified for the Australian Commonwealth Games swimming team, set to take place at the end of July.

At the National Championships over the weekend, he placed second in the 50m Backstroke (which he will be swimming at the games), first in the 18 to 20 years 100m Butterfly, and second in the 18 to 20 years 50m Butterfly.

Ben, who started swimming when he was four-years-old, said he was excited but still processing the news.

“I wasn’t expecting to make it,” he said.

“I’ve been working really hard in training and this experience will be great to learn and get better.”

Ben’s first coach was Stanthorpe Pool’s Gail Smail, and he said she taught him how to swim.

“I owe it all to Gail - I built an excellent foundation and she said to train in all strokes which would make me a valuable swimmer,” he said.

Gail taught Ben until he left Stanthorpe and said he was in her learn to swim squad all the way through to her development squad.

“He had a natural ability,” Gail said.

Ben’s mum Shannon Armbruster said the National Championships shifted from April to May and as a result, the meet was combined with Commonwealth Games selection.

“I spoke to him through Facetime after we found out and he’d gotten his Australian shirt,” Shannon said.

Shannon has played a major part in Ben’s swimming career and said the Stanthorpe Pool only opened half the year due to the cold,.

As a result, she said that Ben only started travelling to Warwick for year-round training after making it on the Queensland squad as a high school senior.

“He played basketball and soccer in the summer months,” Shannon said.

Upon finding out the major selection news, she said it was a bit of a shock.

“We thought maybe he’d make in for Paris Olympics 2024,” she said.

Although Ben now trains at Bond University, Gail said she has been there for him all the way.

“We’ll be with him and all of Stanthorpe will be behind him,” she said.

“It’s thrilled and ecstatic for him.”

The Commonwealth Games will occur between the 28 July and 8 August this year in Birmingham.

Littleproud retains seat

By Dominique Tassell Locals took to the booths on 21 May, voting Member for Maranoa David Littleproud back into his seat.

Across the rest of the country, seats swung towards the Labor Party.

While not all seats have been declared at the time of print, Labor is sitting on 73 of the necessary 76 seats to form a majority government.

Anthony Albanese and his senior leadership and economics team were sworn in on Monday.

The PM-elect declared he wants to “change the country”.

In Maranoa, the Liberal National Party experienced a 1.5 per cent swing against them.

At the time of print, 66 per cent of the vote had been counted with Mr Littleproud receiving 54.5 per cent of the vote, or 37,839 votes.

If a candidate gets more than 50 per cent of the formal first preference votes, an absolute majority, they are immediately elected.

Even though they are elected, a full preference count will be completed to show how the electorate voted.

Labor candidate Dave Kerrigan came in second in the primary vote, with 16.1 per cent of the vote or 11,179 votes.

This is in contrast to the 2019 election when after preferences Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party (PHON) came in second with 27.5 per cent of the vote.

PHON’s Mike Kelly came in third in first preference votes, with 12.1 per cent of the vote or 8,389 votes and a 2.5 per cent swing against the party.

United Australia’s Nathan McDonald received 7.4 per cent of the vote or 5,124 votes.

Greens candidate Ellisa Parker received 4.9 per cent of the vote or 3,433 votes.

Shooters, Fishers and Farmers candidate Malcolm J Richardson received 3.9 per cent of the vote or 2,732 votes.

Federation Party candidate Brett James Tunbridge received 1.1 per cent of the vote or 796 votes.

The election results have sparked rumours a split between the Liberal Party and National Party could be on the cards.

The Nationals held all 16 of their lower house seats in the election, though many did

The Liberal Party has likely lost six innercity seats to ‘Teal Independents’ promising more action on climate change and better conditions for women.

They may have also lost two seats to the Greens in Brisbane alone.

There seems to be division over whether action for or against climate change is to

blame for the loss of Liberal seats.

As is the National Party’s custom, there will be a spill over leadership positions next week when the party room meets.

Nationals Leader Barnaby Joyce stated earlier this week that the Coalition agreement “always finishes at the end of any term” and he said the possibility of a split would be “a decision for both parties”.

Repairs continue

By Emily-Rose Toohey In the aftermath of flooding across the region, roads have been damaged and council is taking action to rectify this.

As part of council’s road maintenance schedule, works to resurface a section of road on Wood, Lyons and Pratten Streets will commence on Monday 30 May between 6.00pm and 6.00am, weather permitting.

Council’s Director Infrastructure Services Gary Murphy said that while restoring the region’s flood damaged roads was a priority, keeping on top of the existing schedule of upgrade works was equally important to road safety.

“Our region’s road network received a battering from the latest flood event and our crews are prioritising repairs,” Gary said.

“However, road improvements and upgrades must also continue and progress in the background so that our region can prosper.”

He said that during construction, local traffic will operate under single lane conditions and on-street parking will not be available.

“The safety of road users and our staff during construction is paramount and following the directions of on-site officers and signage will go a long way to keeping the site incidentfree,” Gary said.

“Local residents in the area will still have access to and from their properties and council staff will endeavour to minimise disruptions for road users where possible.”

Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) Mayor Vic Pennisi said that the road situation is complex.

Backwater Creek, New England Highway - flooding aftermath. Main Roads is responsible for fixing damage.

Picture: EMILY-ROSE TOOHEY “The Queensland Reconstruction Authority pays for the work that is damaged by a flood or weather event,” Cr Pennisi said.

“The first instance is fixing emergent work and there’s 3000km of road we have to cover we can only do so many a day.”

However, Cr Pennisi said this was not the only problem council has been facing regarding roads.

“There’s major damage all over the region and even work that was damaged in 2020 that hasn’t been repaired,” he said.

“It takes time to sort out, and then it will rain again - we don’t have the capacity.”

Cr Pennisi said SDRC has been engaging with other levels of government for assistance.

“The roads are constantly getting buggered up from rain events and it’s a challenge to do regular maintenance,” he said.

Coinciding with the floods, last week was National Road Safety Week with the slogan, ‘pledge to drive so others survive’.

Warwick Police acting officer-in-charge Sergeant Cameron Slater said he advises people to take time when travelling, drive to the conditions, and be aware of any damage.

“Especially in the aftermath of flooding,” Sergeant Slater said.

Similarly, Cr Pennisi said driving to conditions is imperative as the roads are not going to get fixed quickly.

“If you find yourself in trouble, reach out to council or the SES.

Road fatality report raises local conerns

By Emily-Rose Toohey A Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) councillor has been monitoring the road fatality reports and is concerned about their infrequency.

Cr Andrew Gale said the reports are now being released monthly instead of weekly.

“Over the last two years, we’ve had a massive spike in accidents,” Cr Gale said.

“The last toll was up by 40 per cent.”

He said that extreme weather events, like recent flooding, have made driving to road conditions all the more important.

“To a certain extent we get used to driving at a certain speed, so we need to recognise when we need to adjust this speed when driving,” he said.

“People think the roads are a surface issue, but its the foundation underneath.”

Regarding the monthly fatality reports, Cr Gale said he was concerned that having less frequent raw data will mean the numbers are skewed.

“I’ve written to James Lister and asked him to speak with the Transport Minister as to why the reports are now coming out monthly.”

Member for Southern Downs James Lister said that the roads are 20 per cent contributed to by the Queensland Government and 80 per

“The Federal Government has more money on offer for roads,” Mr Lister said.

“People are always suspicious when the government changes how they release data.

“I have a meeting with the Minister for

Transport and Main Roads - I am able to lobby the government when we’ve identified any issue, and a lot of advocacy has come from the Mayor.”

Fatality Free Friday will occur tomorrow, which hopes to go a day have with no road fatalities, and Cr Gale said it’s important to think about.

“It’s a day where we think about the choices we make on the road,” he said.

“There’s been massive rises in fines and that’s a legitimate tactic that may make people change their behaviour.

“Looking at statistics, there’s been a horrendous number of people who have failed to wear seat belts.”

Furthermore, Mr Lister said that rather than simply paying the costs of fixing the roads, there should be more investments in repairs that will stop the same damage from occurring again.

“There’s public interest that the roads need to be to a higher standard, it may mean doing extra drainage,” he said.

During National Road Safety week last week, a booth was set up by advocating for better road safety in collaboration with local police and Braking the Cycle Program Coordinator Suzanne Carey.

Major General in town

By Dominique Tassell Queensland Reconstruction Authority State Recovery Coordinator Major General Jake Ellwood DSC, AM, CSC visited the Warwick recovery hub on 20 May 2022 following the recent flood.

Major Ellwood said the region has faced huge challenges and proved incredibly resilient, but there is only so much a community can take.

He stated the Reconstructive Authority and Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) have been working together, and he’s glad to have them so they can get a feel for the bigger picture of the region’s issues.

“It was a really important day,” he said of visiting the centre.

SDRC Mayor Vic Pennisi said the region has dealt with an unprecedented level of events, and the accumulative effect of bad weather exacerbated the recent flood.

The Mayor said SDRC is looking at staffing, and said they currently struggle with a lack of resources and not having the capacity to do everything needed.

He said it is about communication between all levels of government, and this is a work in progress.

“It’s about us all working together.”

The Mayor stated that SDRC would like to be able to access contractors earlier but is bound by the current hiring system.

Flood-impacted residents can access support and advice by visiting the recovery hub at the SDIEA Campus at 163 Palmerin Street in Warwick or by visiting www.sdrc.qld.gov.au/floodrecovery.

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

This week we’re highlighting KODA. Age: 5 months Adoption fee: $950 About If you are looking for a sweet-natured, affectionate and absolutely gorgeous Blue Cattle Dog x Border Collie puppy, Miss Koda could be the girl for you.

She was born in December 2021.

Koda loves humans, especially children, and is very dog-friendly.

She recently had her first exposure to cats and was curious, but otherwise unconcerned.

Being just a youngster, we’re confident she’d easily adapt to life with a feline.

A highly intelligent and trainable pup, Koda already knows how to sit and stay and is getting the hang of walking on a lead.

Despite initial reservations, she’s also learnt that riding in the car is a super fun thing to do.

To increase socialisation opportunities, Koda’s foster mum has been taking her to work where everyone has fallen in love with her.

Apparently, her regular appearances at work have boosted morale.

Koda will do best in an active home where she has plenty of daily exercise and mental stimulation and where she is regarded as an integral part of the family.

She is very much an inside-outside dog and is not suited to full-time workers.

Secure fencing is a must.

Preference will be given to homes where someone is around most of the time and there

· ·

Koda. is another compatible dog for Koda to play with.

Prior experience with the working dog breeds will be highly regarded.

If you are interested in meeting Koda, please complete the online adoption adaptation at https://southerndownsark.com.au/ apply-to-adopt/ and one of our volunteers will be in touch.

Her adoption fee is $950 and she is desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Koda is available for interstate adoption.

For more information and enquiries, follow the link: https://www.petrescue.com.au/ listings/909085 or email info@southerndownsark.com.au

Weather forces cancellations

By Emily-Rose Toohey With Friday 13 May bringing heavy rain and flooding to the region, scheduled events for the weekend were forced to postpone or cancel.

The Black Toyota Bull Ride in Allora was one of these casualties after the Show Society made the choice to cancel last Friday’s event. Allora Show Society vice-president Hugh Huston said it was not a tough decision to make a week in advance due to the weather forecast not being in their favour.

“Our stock contractor comes from Casino way, and it’s hard handling livestock in wet weather, especially rodeo bulls,” Hugh said.

“There was more rain everyday, including the Friday night.”

This was not Allora’s first cancellation of the year, as both their Agricultural Show and Heritage Weekend could not go ahead.

However, Hugh said this has not effected the town’s morale.

“People learn to cope with the conditions,” he said.

“But it has certainly has effected us financially, as the Bull Ride is one of our biggest fundraisers.

“We also depend on people in caravans coming through - they’re our bread and butter and they also spend money in the town.”

But Hugh said it was not all doom and gloom, as a team ranch sorting event took place over the weekend and the Boer War Monument will be commemorated this Saturday.

“The team ranch sorting is an American based event and a fellow from Dubbo hosted it in Allora,” he said.

“It was a three day event and halfway through the first day we had to open more pens - it was very successful and we would

have needed a bigger shed if the Bull Ride had gone ahead.”

Allan State School’s 150-year anniversary celebrations were scheduled to go ahead starting on Friday 13.

Organiser Jenny Thomson said the postponement had more of an impact on the guests attending than the organisers, as many had travelled specially for the event.

“We made the decision on the Friday morning after receiving the notices from council,” Jenny said.

“Everybody understood - there was nothing anyone could do and it was out of our hands.”

The anniversary will now go ahead Saturday 11 June, and Jenny said they are expecting a smaller attendance.

“A lot of people won’t be able to get back for it,” she said.

“The Friday night official opening at the Sandy Creek Pub will be more scaled back but the Saturday events will go ahead the same.”

Jenny has a family connection to the school and said she is the great great granddaughter of Michael and Anne McKone, who donated the school land 150 years ago in 1871.

“It’s an honour to be part of it,” she said.

“We’ve had a plaque created and the Men’s Shed have made the Allan State School sign.”

However, Jenny said they will have to tailor the day depending on how soggy the land will be.

“It was easy to chose a new date as it was dictated by most people being able to get some accommodation, so we went for it,” she said. Similarly, 150 year events in Stanthorpe were postponed including the Tin Experience at Amiens, which fortunately went ahead over the weekend.

Searching for a soldier

By Dominique Tassell When Peter Taylor stumbled across a medal at the bottom of the Bunya Mountains, he didn’t expect to hear it belonged to someone born 200 kilometres away.

The medal, belonging to James Edwin Knight, reads “The Great War For Civilisation 1914-1919”.

James Edwin Knight was born in Yangan just east of Warwick on 26 December 1895, living there until 1915 when he volunteered for service in France.

James stood 331 centimetres tall and had grey eyes, dark hair and a dark complexion.

The description on his war record stated he was missing the thumb on his left hand and had gunpowder stains on his face. His occupation was listed as a Farmer in Toolburra.

Before shipping out to France, James was injured on the train at Enoggera Station and admitted to the Royal Brisbane Hospital.

James’ medal, found in the Bunya Mountains.

After recovering, he embarked for France on 20 April 1916, arriving in Alexandria on 5 June 1916 and then Marseilles on 12 June as part of the 4th Pioneer Battalion.

On 12 May 1918, James transferred to the 4th MG Battalion.

After the war ended, James was transferred back to England where he became sick with Spanish Influenza.

He was admitted to a hospital in Wiltshire.

James left the hospital on 2 March 1919, and six days later married English girl Emily Louise Govey, a bootmaker by profession.

The couple returned to Australia, and James was officially discharged on 5 November 1919.

His discharge papers list his occupation as a motor driver.

James and Emily settled in Allora for a year after James’ discharge.

Their family grew to include three daughters named Phyllis, Doreen, and Violet, and two sons named Edwin and James. On 24 November 1920, James’ signed an undertaking for 11 hectares of Portion 161 in the Parish of Wivenhoe, Coominya.

The family moved to Coominya in April 1921 where they grew grapes. On 18 May 1923, James accepted a transfer north to the small soldier settlement at Yarraman near Nanango.

The family returned to the Darling Downs in 1925, before moving sometime between

1928 and 1932 to Granville, now an eastern suburb of Maryborough.

James enlisted again when World War II broke out, alongside his son Edwin Herbert Knight.

Emily died at Granville on 17 May 1964, survived by James who lived on until 26 December 1985.

James’ awards for service in WW1 include the 1914/1915 Star, the British War Medal, and the Victory Medal.

It’s James’ Victory Medal that was found using a metal detector in a field at the bottom of the Bunya Mountains.

After finding the medal, Peter would like to see the medal returned to James’ family if possible. We will continue to research the family in hopes of finding any of James’ relatives and will include more details about his family as we find them.

If any locals have any information on James and his family, please get in touch.

QCWA celebrates huge milestone with centenary QCWA Border Division is to celebrate the Association’s Centenary this Saturday. The QCWA Border Division President, Mrs Irene Peachey of Stanthorpe will welcome guests to the luncheon to be held in the historic Warwick Town Hall.

One of the highlights will be Councillor Marco Gliori reciting his poem acknowledging what QCWA has achieved over the past 100 years and as we approach the new century of service to our region and Queensland,” said QCWA Border Division Centenary Committee Chairman, Penny Campbell-Wilson of Warwick.

Over the past 100 years, the QCWA Bor-

We have sixteen Branches in the Border Division and include Broadwater, Cunning-

ham, Emu Vale, Glen Aplin, Granite Belt Weekenders, Hermitage-Yangan, Mt. Colliery, Texas, Victoria Hill and Wallangarra.

The majority of our Branches own their own Halls, whilst a few meet in their community halls.

The Branches meet monthly, enjoy holding functions, and playing a continuing fine role in the Southern Downs region.

We have many members who have been proud members of QCWA for over 50 years and a few great ladies who have enjoyed continuous membership for over 70 years.

Packing kits for PNG

By Days for Girls Allora and District Days for Girls Allora and District had a gathering on 29 April where we packed 90 kits for dispatch to Papua New Guinea (PNG). These kits were sent direct to a midwife who does rural walking women’s health clinics and so the kits will help in her work.

It’s a good feeling to know that you are truly making a difference in women’s and girl’s lives and the response we have just got back from the midwife says it all: Hi Allora QLD Australia Team, This is marvellous news that my team of nurses and midwives are receiving so far! You guys have put a huge smile on our faces and this will be remembered for a very long time.

Thank you once again Team Australia for giving a helping hand to your neighbour, PNG women.

Forever grateful.

Best regards, Joyce, Midwife Would any members of the community be willing to sponsor the postage of future boxes to PNG? Postage is approx $150 and any financial assistance would be most welcome.

The cancellation of the Heritage weekend has had a major effect on our funding for this year as it was our major fundraising opportunity with our multi-draw raffle being held then. We will continue with smaller raffles so if there are any businesses or individuals who would be willing to assist us with ticket sales that would be appreciated.

There will be more opportunities throughout the year to contribute to disaster relief and other similar activities so the group is request-

ing donations of new ladies’ knickers, small hotel-style soaps, new face washers, and new 100 per cent cotton (non-stretch) material, sewing thread or monetary donations. Items can be dropped into Cassaz Colourful Curls Allora, Allora True Value Hardware store or Bryson’s Florist Warwick marked Days for Girls. If dropping items in can you please text, phone or email contacts below so that we know to pick them up as not all executive members live in town.

Monetary donations over $2 are tax deductible and can be transferred to: Allora Days for Girls, BSB 064032 Acc: 10127292. Items or donations can also be dropped off on the last Friday of each month.

The next gathering on 27 May will continue assembling kits for the refugee consignment (later in the year) as well as offering sewing lessons for those who wish to learn to make components for kits. There will be sewing machines, overlockers and materiel provided.

Various skill levels from basic beginner to the more complex depending on your confidence level can be catered for. If you’re not into sewing there are more than enough other activities to complete.

Come along on Friday 27 May at 9am to the Function Room, MacKillop House, Warwick St., Allora, next to St Patrick’s Church, entry via McKillop Lane. All are welcome, sewers and non-sewers. For those who had previously attended, it would be great to see you back.

Please bring a small plate for morning tea, coffee and tea provided. We hope to see you then.

Coles delivery coming to the Southern Downs Coles is making it easier for customers to shop online by launching home delivery in Warwick for the first time.

While a growing number of Coles Online customers have already been using Click&Collect, the addition of home delivery means they will be able to have their groceries delivered straight to their door.

Coles Rose City Shoppingworld store manager Shannon Glasscock said the expansion would create nine local jobs for personal shoppers and delivery drivers, with a dedicated van to service Warwick seven days a week.

“We are excited to launch this offer for Warwick customers who are looking for a more convenient shopping experience,” Shannon said.

“With a growing number of customers choosing Coles Online, we are investing in customer experience and capacity.

“Our local community is already shopping in our store and using Click&Collect so we believe offering Home Delivery is the next logical step in helping customers.”

Coles Online merchandising and operations general manager Mark O’Connor said Coles Online wanted to inspire customers to shop anytime, anywhere, anyhow.

“We see more and more customers engaging with us digitally, whether it’s to explore the products and content on our apps and websites, access amazing content on coles&co and using online services in the form of Click&Collect and home delivery,” Mark said.

Warwick police walk to school to promote safety

By Dominique Tassell

Former SOTE student talks It was lovely to have former student, writer Emily Bitto visit the school last week.

Emily spent time with the seniors answering their questions about transitioning to the city and reassuring them that the school’s emphasis about valuing yourself helps in finding what to do in life.

Emily initially studied psychology but after that realised that she really was interested in literature, going on to get her masters then doctorate in creative writing.

National Walk Safely to School Day was observed on Friday 20 May, with Warwick Police walking local kids to Warwick Central State School.

Now in its 23rd year, the annual campaign encourages all primary school children, their parents and carers to walk safely and regularly to school.

The event seeks to promote road safety, health, public transport and the environment.

“Kids are our greatest asset and they deserve every protection we can give them while they are growing up,” Queensland Police Services (QPS) stated in a release.

The objectives of National Walk Safely to School Day are: To encourage parents and carers to walk regularly with their children, all or part of the way to school To promote the message: “Until they are ten, children must always hold an adult’s hand when crossing the road” and other vitally important Road Safety messages To promote the health benefits of walking and create regular walking habits

· · ·

help children develop vital road cross· To ing skills which they will not learn inside a car

reduce car dependency and traffic · To congestion, especially around schools reduce the level of air pollution created · To by motor vehicles · To promote the use of public transport

Emily has since published two highly acclaimed novels and the students were impressed to hear that to support herself while she writes she has set up and owns two cafe/ wine bar in inner-city Melbourne!

Year 9 Discovery then appreciated having their own creative writing masterclass with Emily as she took them for session on discovering yourself.

It was also nice to see past deputy principal, Mrs Judy Currie back at school to catch up with Emily.

Financial boost approved for Condy River Sports Group

By Dominique Tassell A request for financial assistance from the Condamine River Sports Group and its member clubs was approved by Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) at the Ordinary Council Meeting earlier this month.

Condamine River Sports Group and its member clubs now have an agreement with SDRC lasting for a period of 10 years, commencing on 1 July 2022.

The agreement includes the reimbursement of building insurance premiums, relief from utility and potable town water consumption charges, and payment of a replacement mower based on a five-year replacement schedule; In line with this, $30,000 for reimbursement of building insurance premiums, $40,000 for utility and water consumption charges relief, and $20,000 for a replacement mower will be allocated in the 2023/2024 Budget.

In the SDRC meeting, Cr Cynthia McDonald stated “it’s excellent to see Council promoting sport and I think when it comes to these nine sporting groups coming together and putting their needs forward to Council”.

“They’ve done a great job,” she said. “We should be promoting sport amongst all ages of our community and keep a healthy community.”

Cr Stephen Tancred had a couple of questions but first concurred with McDonald’s sentiments.

He stated he approved of the group’s sentiments that any assistance should be affordable.

“It’s good to see the community groups recognise the challenge we have with our budget.”

He questioned whether the financial assistance should be on a five by five term instead of a straight ten years.

“I don’t want to deny them the benefits

of long term, but I’m just thinking if we get a chance in five years to review their needs may have changed and our assistance capability may have changed.”

SDRC CEO Dave Burges stated it was up to the board, but that this would align with the Stanthorpe Sports Association agreement.

Cr Jo McNally raised the recycled water charges, and that there has not been a decision made overall on this.

Mr Burges stated this charge was deliberately left out of the recommendation.

Cr Marco Gliori stated the group had previously only ever asked for a shed to store their mower and asked whether rising insurance premiums would factor into the agreement.

He stated he would be happy to have a five by five year agreement as Cr Tancred suggested.

However, no amendments were made and the lease remained at ten years.

The Condamine River Sports Group Inc (CRSG) is a not for profit organisation made up of representatives from each of the clubs located at or near Queens Park and St Mark’s Park, Warwick on the banks of the Condamine River. This includes: Warwick Cricket Assoc Inc Warwick District Football Assoc Inc Warwick and District Hockey Assoc Inc Warwick Cowboys Rugby League Football Club Inc Warwick and District Rugby Union Club Inc Eastern Suburbs Junior Rugby League Warwick Inc Collegians Junior Rugby Football League Inc Warwick Redbacks AFC Inc Warwick Touch Football Assoc Inc Their lease is due to expire on 31 May but was extended at an Ordinary Council meeting held last year.

‘Massive boon’ for business

By Dominique Tassell Cassels Subaru was awarded the 2021 Northern Region Retailer of the Year earlier this year in what they say is a “massive boon” for the dealership.

Cassels’ Subaru Sales Manager, Jeremy Ralph, has been the brand manager of Subaru at Cassels for 10 years and said Subaru is a strong brand in town with a lot of repeat business. Jeremy stated that the award is given out annually and is judged on the dealership overall.

This includes the dealerships’ sales volume,

their service departments, parts, and customer service.

Jeremy said the customer experience is particularly important, with a focus on strong reviews and happy customers.

The Northern region the award is judged in essentially includes everyone bar the Brisbane area. This includes areas such as Toowoomba, Mackay, Townsville, Cairns, and Gympie.

“It’s a huge award for us here,” Jeremy said.

He said the dealership didn’t focus on anything in particular when in the running

for the award.

“We just try to have pretty solid processes across the board from our service department,” he said.

He said they just want to keep customers happy, and are very fortunate to be a longstanding retailer.

Jeremy said they have a good customer base and Subaru is a strong brand in town.

He said the award is a massive achievement for what is considered a more rural dealer.

“It’s a massive boon for us.”

He said they really appreciate the award after dealing with a tough couple of years during the pandemic.

It means a lot to receive that recognition and get that recognition that they’re doing the right thing.

“I love the experience of owning a Subaru and try to live up to the brand by delivering friendly service and doing as much as we can,” Jeremy said.

Cassels Automotive is local to Warwick and can be found on 20 Alexandra Drive.

The Allan Cunningham Monument is now heritage-listed Downs, but transportation links remained poor with pastoralists facing a round trip of up to 800km to carry wool to the port of Maitland and return with supplies. A direct route to the Moreton Bay settlement was needed. Several passes across the range were tried, including a rough road over Cunningham’s Gap to the Fassifern Valley and a dray track over Spicer’s Gap in the 1840s, a shortlived crossing called Gorman’s Gap north of Toowoomba in the 1840s, and Toowoomba’s Toll Bar Road up the range from the 1850s. By the early 1920s and with the increased popularity of the motor car, Warwick community leaders formed the Cunningham’s Gap Road Committee to find a way to build a proper road from Warwick, through Cunningham’s Gap and down the east slope of the range to Brisbane. The committee unsuccessfully lobbied the State Government for funds and, concerned that commerce would be lost to Toowoomba without a direct road to Brisbane, working bees were called over the Easter long-weekend of 1926. Amazingly, this resulted in a drivable 4.8km road through

the forest from the western base of Cunningham’s Gap to its precipice on the eastern side. An extension of the road over the eastern side of the range to connect with the Fassifern Valley below was planned, along with a monument at the gap itself to commemorate Allan Cunningham’s achievement.

“Drawings of the monument were published in newspapers at the time, reporting that it would have a rock foundation formed of the broken stones over which Cunningham himself had walked. The monument’s foundation stone was laid on 7 May 1927 by Warwick Mayor Daniel Connelly, attended by a group of dignitaries, district residents and the men working on the road’s construction,” Leslie said.

A jar containing current newspapers, lists of local council and State Government dignitaries, a list of names of the volunteers and contractors working on the road project, as well as coins, were embedded in the monument’s concrete.

“The monument was completed and officially unveiled, as planned, on 11 June

1927,” Leslie said.

“In 2022, the Allan Cunningham Monument remains in its original location and continues to be a tourist drawcard. The monument is on the northern side of the Cunningham Highway at Cunningham’s Gap, surrounded by the sub-tropical rainforest of the Main Range National Park. It comprises a stone cairn in the form of an obelisk on a stepped cement-rendered base, within a lowfenced enclosure and surrounded by mature hoop pines planted in 1935.”

The monument is accessed via walking tracks and occupies a gently sloping elevated site with a steep embankment down to the highway on its southern side. Allan Cunningham (1791-1839) was a British explorer and botanist in Australia from 1817, joining both terrestrial and nautical expeditions with other explorers. Historians recognise his contributions to both Australian exploration and botany. The Queensland Heritage Council entered the Allan Cunningham Monument into the Queensland Heritage Register on 29 April 2022.

12551023-NG21-22

The Allan Cunningham Monument, overlooking the Cunningham Highway at Cunningham’s Gap, has been entered into the Queensland Heritage Register. The monument was erected in 1927 to commemorate the centenary of explorer Allan Cunningham’s traversing the Great Dividing Range and documenting a pass through the mountains. However, Queensland Heritage Council chair Leslie Shirreffs said the 1927 centenary was a year out.

“It was in 1827 that Allan Cunningham identified a pass over the range to coastal settlements that became known as Spicer’s Gap. It was one year later when Cunningham and his party set out to find a pass from the eastern side of the range, which we now know as Cunningham’s Gap,” Leslie said.

Twelve years after Cunningham’s expedition, grazier Patrick Leslie set out with a large party to explore the Darling Downs, establishing from 1840 the first European pastoral runs in the region. Warwick became the urban centre of the prosperous pastoral and agricultural district of the southern Darling

OPINION

Stretching the facts I believe Mr Pennisi’s latest Emu Swamp Dam comments are a bit stretching of the facts. He claims that the dam was supported by the last 4 councils. If this was true why did SDRC hand over the project to The Chamber of Commerce? [Who then handed it over to a private organisation] Did the council actually originally ‘pass’ on the project because the consultants hired by council ranked Emu Swamp as only the 5th best option? The concept of a joint council/irrigators dam was ranked similarly low also. The GHD report in fact cautioned against a public private dam proposal. Each time consultants have suggested other options were better.

Mr Pennisi will also know that previous council’s interest was in a completely different dam proposal to what is currently on the table.

The original dam was to be publicly owned and of a significantly smaller size than the current proposal. There is also the issue that once town water is transferred to Emu Swamp private dam we ratepayers/SDRC will be like a drug addict, hooked and forced to pay an annual fee of approx a quarter of a million dollars per year to keep access to that water. The annual cost could rise in subsequent years, compromising future council’s budgets and our access to that water.

Surely we would be better off leasing the water to the dam proponents and using those payments to fund a better option?

John Morison, Stanthorpe *Footnote: It is on public record that GBIP were surprised that they were asked to pay market prices for our town water. Their actual words were “that is not our expectation” This is why many people were concerned when SDRC met in secret [and without listing it on the agenda] to determine a price to sell the water for. The fact is it took public pressure to get more ‘orthodox’ quotes than the ‘unorthodox ‘one they originally obtained. Well we may never know but we presume SDRC now have more industry appropriate othodox quotes. *Clarification: This letter did not fit in last week’s edition but the footnote was mistakenly shown with another letter. This footnote was not part of Brian Gibbons’ letter.

Reply to Mrs McDonald

12511505-BL36-21

I refer to Mrs McDonald’s letter in the 19th May Warwick Today in response to her original decision not to attend the 150th birthday re-enactment. I understand how difficult it is raising a family, working etc. I worked for the Federal Govt, had 3 children, 1 with special needs, a disabled husband and was required to travel from my home to my normal place of work (35mins) to get a work vehicle then drive up the coast approx 1.5hrs, spend 7.5hrs running training, return to my office another 1.5hrs (this all dependent on the traffic on the Bruce Hwy not country Hwy’s), drop off the work vehicle then return home approx 35 mins. This happened over a course of 4 weeks at a time. Not always was my husband there he was often in hospital on the other side of Brisbane, so no visiting.

This was not my regular job it was in addition to my usual role. However, it was one I was asked to do and I committed to do.

I then had to make the decision to give up my high paying career to become my husband’s full-time carer, but still manage to find

time thanks to the wonderful support we receive from the Granite Belt community to volunteer and give back to this community that has welcomed us.

In the end the choice to participate was taken away for many with the horrendous flooding experienced in the SDRC with many events postponed. This was a once in a lifetime experience, not an ongoing commitment.

Carol (last name withheld)

We should all work together After reading your article Samantha, in Warwick Today 12th May, I felt I had to add some background to your article. I was born in Stanthorpe nearly 70 years ago. My father’s family were soldier settlers at Bapaume and my mother’s family came here in the tin mining boom. In the ‘60s Stanthorpe was a wonderfully diverse place to grow up in. On Thursday afternoon after school you could walk down the main street and not hear English being spoken.

It was that diversity that was its strength back then. I have lived in Warwick now for 40 years.

I applaud your thought that we should all work together and I wholeheartedly agree.

Unfortunately that does not occur. Previous to amalgamation, for those of you who have not lived here long, relations between Warwick and Stanthorpe were amicable. There was a friendly sporting rivalry and that was all. My father played tennis and cricket against Warwick and enjoyed those matches. After amalgamation in 2008 the mood in Stanthorpe changed to one of anger at being forced into this predicament.

That anger became channelled at Warwick. I work in a situation where I deal with the public of both Stanthorpe and Warwick. I would ask people what did they think. Warwick people would would say Stanthorpe is a go ahead place, I’ll be giving my vote to councillors from there with the result that Warwick only had 3 councillors in the first council and Stanthorpe had 6. The mood from Stanthorpe did not improve. They felt Warwick’s will was being imposed on them. Stanthorpe, the town I grew up in, is a very proud and parochial town. Everything the council did ( which was equated with Warwick) was wrong.

Last week we read Mr. Gibbins rather impolite reply. Seems he has a bit of catching up to do. No we don’t have a website. Our point is the POW group are unnamed. There is no list of their members and who this individual is or these individuals are. We haven’t lied to you or been hypocrites Mr. Gibbons.

Do you know these people? Have you been introduced to them? Why haven’t they made themselves known to the public when they write letters representing the rate payers?

They run around telling whoppers to anyone who will listen. As for the name “ Emu Swamp Dam Bridage” it’s the sarcastic term given by one of the vocal POW supporters to anyone who supports the dam, water security and jobs. There is a lot of people supporting the project. Way more than the secret mob against it. We’ll keep writing as the pseudonym “Emu Swamp Dam Bridge” for as long as it’s necessary. We’ve seen how badly people are treated by some when they publicly name themselves in letters and online supporting the dam. Now you’ve caught up - get behind behind the project. Now wouldn’t it be great if POW called a public meeting and introduced themselves? Also presenting their qualifications and roles within the community? They could then explain the difference between “supplemented and unsupplemented water” in regards to the cost while everyone is there.

Maybe voice their alternate plans and costings? Maybe even a detailed business case for water security? Don’t hold your breath.

Warwick is a laid back rather laconic region and realised that Stanthorpe was struggling with the issue so voted them in again for the second council - albeit with one less Stanthorpe councillor. I wholeheartedly supported deamalgamation when it came along. I could see Stanthorpe had lost that ability to accept change and was no longer happy. The verbal abuse from Stanthorpe residents and wild accusations about how much debt Warwick had been in, abounded.

Samantha, I am pleased that you are willing to try and work together but not all residents have your good intentions. About this time last year, I was with a group of people in Stanthorpe. The vote for the Warwick Saleyard upgrade had been taken and there would be no major renovation undertaken. I asked a Stanthorpe local* what they thought of this and they replied with all the venom that they could muster: “that’s what Warwick deserved!“ It was such a shocking statement. I felt I no longer know this vindictive Stanthorpe. It displays so much anger at Warwick still. We were hoping that time would help but that is not the case and the situation is worse, not better.

My Stanthorpe brother-in-law on the way back to Stanthorpe was moaning about the Emu Swamp Dam saying the Council (Warwick) did not support it. It was the Queensland Government that took a long time to come to the party. All the way back he was chanting “we will not co-operate” with the council (Warwick). This spiteful attitude is ruining the whole region. The Saleyard happens to be in Warwick but it is the only sheep saleyard in Queensland. Sheep mostly come from the Traprock and Dalveen areas. Cattle come from all over not just Warwick. The $4.5 million given for the upgrade was less than the two feasibility studies put together. That’s a slap in the face with a cold fish. Council admin workers who come to Stanthorpe from Warwick are verbally abused by locals if the workers admit they come from Warwick. I would hate to be a councillor. After that incident I would not willingly go back to Stanthorpe. It is depressing and disappointing to be treated in such a manner. I fully understand why councillors made the decision not to partake in the 150

INTRODUCING YOUR

SCHOOL PRINCIPALS

• What motivates you as a principal?

I love our school, and the many students and families that walk onto our campuses each day. It is an immense privilege to lead this community and see the ongoing transformation of our students as they develop their character, pursue academic and extra-curricular success, and explore who God is.

• In what ways do you empower teachers to be leaders and role models for students?

It is all about the WHY. All schools know what they do and how they do it, but teachers at our College know WHY they do what they do. All of our staff are committed to the vision of our College; that every student is known by name, valued and inspired, and challenged to succeed. When you have staff dedicated to living the vision, they can’t help but lead and role model it to our student community.

• What motivates you as a principal?

The role of principal is the hardest, most rewarding job I have ever had. I am a leader with a clear purpose and commitment to Ballandean. The opportunity to lead strategically and innovatively, for the betterment of my students, staff and wider community is exciting. For me, this position is not hierarchical, but one where I lead by example to create the best learning culture for my staff and students. Collaborating with staff, using staff expertise, including others, celebrating successes, reflecting on challenges and modelling life-long learning are all powerful motivators.

• In what ways do you empower teachers to be leaders and role models for students?

Ballandean State School has a cooperative school culture, where staff work together positively and support each other willingly every day. Everyone has a leadership role in making Ballandean SS a great place to work and learn together. Staff ensure appreciation for each other is shown regularly through our words and actions.

Individual strengths are identified, shared and welcomed. The principles of ongoing learning and always doing your best is expected and empowering.

• What makes your school so special?

Our school is small and intimate, allowing knowledge of all our students as individuals. Students know each other’s names, have friendships and play together across all year levels. No-one gets left behind with our personalised, targeted support. Innovative curriculum delivery, including a specific focus on Outdoor Inquirybased Learning, which involves problem solving and creative thinking makes us extra special. Shared student leadership enables students to have an active voice in our school’s direction. Our philosophy of “Clean slate through the gate” enables all our students to have a fresh start, if necessary - every day. Everything we do is underpinned by our three core expectations of Respectful, Responsible and Resilient.

• What motivates you as a principal My key motivator is seeing our students grow in terms of their academic success and as quality human beings and members of our society as they progress from Prep to Year 12. I also enjoy watching our staff thrive in their roles and help our students achieve this.

Developing the school resources and programs, as well as St Joseph’s School being a key contributor to the wider community, are also very important to me.

• In what ways do you empower teachers to be leaders and role models for students?

Through careful recruitment, extensive professional development of staff, and encouraging teachers to work continuously in professional learning teams, we have a group of expert teachers who successfully lead the learning in the school and help create and maintain a safe and caring environment. Teachers are encouraged to have a growth mindset and continually work towards improving their practise. They are also given the opportunity and support to develop their ideas to improve learning, develop student well-being and implement new programs across the school.

• What makes your school so special?

At St Joseph’s School we want to provide every student an opportunity to say, “I belong. I am valued. I will be successful here.”

This occurs by focusing on two key goals: 1. All students have the opportunity to achieve excellence (to be the best they can be), and 2. Students will come to know Jesus, that is, our Mercy values will become the “lived experience” in the lives of our students.

As a Visible Learning+ Certified School we strive to ensure students have access to expert teachers, that is, teachers who understand the differing needs of their students; who provide high quality, core teaching in the classroom; who use data to inform practice and effective feedback to improve learning. Further, the wellbeing of our students is central to our caring school environment in which all students are accepted and valued by both the staff and students.

As a Catholic school, based on the charism of the Sisters of Mercy, our Mercy values (respect, compassion, service, justice) are central to all we do, and, very importantly, all are welcome in our school community.

• What motivates me as a principal?

• What motivates you as a principal?

We are educating for the future well-being of not only the students and their families but for our country and the world as well. It is a huge privilege and responsibility. So we are striving to create students who are happy in themselves but also confident, capable and contributive. It is a noble job and very motivating.

The children motivate and inspire me to be the best principal I can be. I enjoy watching the world through their eyes whilst sharing the knowledge and experience I have. I truly believe a positive future lies in the hands of a multi-generational approach.

• In what ways do you empower teachers to be the leaders and role models for students?

• In what ways do you empower teachers to be leaders and role models for students?

I provide professional freedom encapsulated in the frameworks that underpin effective teaching and learning. I model the expectations I expect others to demonstrate. One of these expectations is always ‘aiming for higher’, which so happens to be our school motto.

Teachers have the most important job in the community.

The teacher’s primary role is the example they set for the children and the connection they make with them.

This builds good habits, self-confidence and stimulates their curiosity to learn. We support teachers in their professional growth but equally importantly in their personal growth, through a weekly teacher development program.

We give teachers the autonomy they need to develop their own style and teach creatively, with love and care.

• What makes your school so special?

In over 40 years of educating children in Warwick we have consistently provided genuine care for our students and their families. Because of our small classes of a maximum of 13 students, the teachers know the children and how they learn. Parents are supported by our parent development program and feel part of the school community.

The children see the school as their second home.

12550238-SG21-22

Stanthorpe State School is so special because of the students, staff and families. I have been to many schools, but have never come across a school that has students who go out of their way to make conversations with everyone, from students in need through seeing how the principal’s day is going. Our students care about each other and lift each other up. They are truly amazing young people and are a credit to their families.

3. What makes your school so special?

Amiens State School has a long and proud history as part of the Amiens community. There are strong relationships amongst all stakeholders that make it feel like being a part of one large extended family. Our staff and students are respectful, responsible and safe and genuinely care about the well-being of each other.

12550237-NG21-22

2. In what ways do you empower teachers to be leaders and role models for students?

Within a small school, the achievements of students are thanks to the efforts of all staff. As a principal, I work to build the capacity of both teaching and non-teaching staff through professional learning that is targeted towards our priority areas, ensuring everyone is ‘on the same page’. I also model a collaborative and professional working environment where each staff member has a voice and the success of our school and students is felt by all.

• In what ways do you empower teachers to be leaders and role models for students?

Our teachers are empowered to be leaders and role models not just through their classroom practise but also through many other opportunities including roles such as Year co-ordinator, sport co-ordinator, committee mentor teachers, debating coach, sports coaching, musical organisation, events and functions coordination, excursion planning and a plethora of other opportunities. Being an enthusiastic and appreciative cheer-leader of staff contributions and achievements are also important to the role of Principal.

• What makes your school so special?

W.S.H.S is well over a century old and it has a rich and proud history. We have a huge range of curriculum offerings, multiple senior pathways for students, amazing musicals, active student leadership, strong sporting opportunities and traditions as well as great academic outcomes. Our signature programs including Formula student, Agricultural pathways and a strong instrumental music program all add to the richness of our school life.

• What motivates you as a principal I do what I love and love what I do which makes teaching and leading at Dalveen a joy. Being a partner in the learning process, seeing students think critically, overcome challenges, care for each other, build selfesteem and confidence and watching them grow into incredible humans is both motivation and a privilege.

• What makes your school so special?

We love our small school and wonderful community where our experienced staff and supportive parents are always willing to go the extra mile. Our classrooms are inclusive and our approach to teaching and learning is highly individualised and connected to the real world.

Every child is seen and heard and accepted just as they are. It’s the Dalveen family!

12551572-JW21-22

• In what ways do you empower teachers to be leaders and role models for students?

Being a leader among leaders. Each member of the team leads in their own role and responsibilities and in turn our students are leaders of themselves and their own learning. Prioritising wellbeing, sharing a common goal and working together to build trust, share the load and overcome challenges means that we don’t have to go it alone.

12550389-SG21-22

• What motivates you as a principal?

Seeing our learners find their way and celebrate their own individual version of success - through academics, the arts, sport, or perhaps more importantly from their personal development as people. The diversity of student talents, backgrounds and aspirations as a collective within our school is also quite inspirational.

• In what ways do you empower teachers to be leaders and role models for students?

By fostering the importance of professional and respectful relationships within and beyond the classroom by staff with their students. Our staff understand that to have a student want to learn from them, respect them, and be a meaningful role model for them, the students need to know that staff care and are genuinely interested in them as people. Our pastoral care program, co-curricular program and general teaching excellence is founded in these ideas and comes to life everyday through our staff and student interactions.

• What makes your school so special?

Our students are authentic, tenacious and have a strong sense of social justice and belonging to our community.

Our parents are engaged and invested in their child’s education – an important aspect of success at school.

Our staff are professional, caring and committed to knowing and working with each child as an individual.

We have an amazing community.

Kate Priddle

12549952-DL21-22

• What motivates you as a principal?

The opportunity to assist students and staff to grow.

The adage that “growth lies outside our comfort zone” is true and it is a privilege to watch our students mature and learn over their six-year high school journey. I also enjoy challenging my own thinking and looking at issues from different perspectives.

1. What motivates you as a principal?

As a principal it is my role to inspire, innovate and influence the educational experience across an entire school. Through this, I am motivated by the dedication of staff who take the journey with me to ensure our students have the best opportunities. I am motivated by the achievements of our students and their desire to learn. Finally, by the opportunity I have as a Teaching Principal to be an active part of the day-to-day learning, seeing the “ah ha” moments and watching students grow from year to year.

12551528-SG21-22

• What motivates you as a principal?

Student success. The smallest things can change someone’s life – it’s the little things that we strive to succeed with in day to day classroom work that our students see as their pathway to a brighter future.

• In what ways do you empower teachers to be leaders and role models for students?

We work as a team to deliver the best possible outcomes for all students. Learning doesn’t stop for adults, either! We have a fantastic professional development programme for all staff and encourage them all to have input in what we need to do better to ensure our students are reaching their potential.

• What makes your school so special?

We have a uniquely run school that thinks outside of the box with classroom curriculum delivery and student management. Our school have highly driven staff that want every student to succeed every hour of every day. Our goal is to have students that believe that they are accepted for who they are and that they all have exceptional ideas and skills that should be respected by others because they are valued members of our school and school community.

Tarnia Doughty

• What motivates me as a principal?

It’s a good day when your see the kids running out to their parents after school to tell them about what they discovered that day.

Having dedicated and committed colleagues at Severnlea who challenge me and push me to be better.

Witnessing those little ‘lightbulb moments’ when a child suddenly gets how to do long division, or spell that difficult word. Those moments when effort and struggle transform into realisation are magical!

• In what ways do you empower teachers to be leaders and role models for students?

Being a role model carries with it is great deal of responsibility.

As a staff group it’s important that we live by and model our positive behaviours each week. Kids watch us! We often teach them more by what they see us do than by what we say.

My staff are wonderful at using their initiative to see an opportunity and then develop a solution to make our school a better place.

• What makes Severnlea State School so special?

The people! We have wonderful people who are dedicated and committed to improving our school every day.

Small classes mean we can provide more individualised learning for our students.

Teachers and teacher aides who are highly skilled and dedicated to improving outcomes for our students.

We provide high quality support for students with individualised learning needs.

We offer interesting extra-curricular activities in areas such as music, visual arts, sports, gardening and cooking.

HISTORY WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Intrepid Anzac heroes

By John Telfer This story is about a band of intrepid heroes who flew with the RAAF Coastal Command flying Catalina aircraft in World War 2. The Catalina proved to be a most versatile aircraft and throughout the war in the Pacific, became engaged in all aspects of maritime operations. It was like the Dakota DC as both were often referred to as the “the workhorses of the RAAF”.

During the Catalina’s service life, it was responsible for such tasks as bombing, strafing, convey and anti-submarine patrols, torpedoing, mine-dropping, supply dropping and air-sea rescue. The Catalina range of targets included the Admiralties, New Britain, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Hong Kong and the China Coast; plus, the whole of the Netherland East Indies. The highlight of these campaigns was the mining on the night of December 14th 1944 of Manila Harbour. One Warwick man, Dawson Wilson, flew in many of these operations from 1940 to 1945 and here is his story.

Dawson Phlanrical Wilson was born on 5th October 1915, the son of William Frederick Wilson and Jessie Lamb of old Stanthorpe Road, Wildash, in Queensland. He was educated at Warwick Central School and spent his early life in and around Warwick. On leaving school after his Scholarship year (Year 7), Dawson went to work with his father as a water driller where he learned all about the engineering aspects of drilling equipment and its use. He had an aptitude for maintaining the equipment and he did this until the outbreak of World War 2 in 1939.

On 15th April 1940, Dawson had made up his mind to enlist in the Royal Australian Air Force, so he entered the Recruiting Office in Brisbane, enlisted, and was immediately sent to No 2 Recruit Depot at Richmond in New South Wales as a trainee mechanic. After training, he became an aircraft mechanic before he was attracted to the mustering of Air Gunner to get into the action; so, applied and was ac-

cepted, into aircrew training as an Air Gunner on 29th October 1942, and five months later was appointed as a member of a Catalina flying boat crew for combat flying in Australia’s north. After intense training between 1942 and 1943 at RAAF bases from Townsville to Rathmines in New South Wales, it was while flying on anti-submarine patrols in the north at Osprey Reef, when Dawson sustained a gunshot wound to his right shoulder and was hospitalised in the 5 Australian General Hospital at Cairns, for 10 days.

Dawson’s war hotted up when he was posted to the South Pacific at Morotai and it was here, that he saw plenty of action against the Japanese as the Catalinas attacked Japanese shipping and coastal areas of New Guinea from 1943 to 1945. In October 1943, Dawson’s finest hour came when he was posted to 11 Squadron as a gunner and first engineer on Catalina aircraft, and for his courage was awarded a Mentioned in Despatches which said: “While on his second tour of operations, he was engaged in a further six mine-laying operations; he was engaged in a further six mine-laying operations in Dutch New Guinea, the Halmahera Islands, Borneo and Java, three

night-bombing raids on Kavieng and Kaimana. Also, thirty- eight escorts and armed reconnaissance flights. In May, 1945, he commenced a third tour as a member of No 113 Air-Sea Rescue Flight, transferring to No 115 Air-Sea Rescue Flight in July of the same year…… He has partaken in four Secret missions for the Allied Intelligence Bureau. Throughout his 1,400 hours of operational flying, Warrant Officer Wilson has, at all times, been keen and cool in the face of the enemy, and has proved himself to be a sound and reliable engineer” On 3rd May 1945, Dawson was appointed to a commission and finished the war on the 12th December 1945, before returning to his home town of Warwick.

After the war was over, Dawson me,t and later, married Valerie Brown, whose parents had a farm close to Yangan. They were married in St. Mark’s Presbyterian Church in Warwick on 5th November 1945 after gaining leave from his Commanding Officer prior to his RAAF discharge on 12th December 1945, from the 115 Air Sea Rescue Flight. Together, Dawson and Valerie raised two children in Brett and Sandra.

In 1948, Dawson received news that he had been granted a commission in the Citizens Air Force and was told that in the event of war he would be required to serve again and could be called up at very short notice. Although Dawson was happy to return to the RAAF, he knew that he would never again be part of a Catalina crew as that aircraft was becoming obsolete and replaced by Lincoln, and later, Neptune maritime patrol aircraft.

Like many returned men who had experienced the dramas and dangers of combat, Dawson looked for an occupation that would help him forget the traumas of war and so started a taxi service in partnership with F. M. Sedgwick in Warwick for a few years, before accepting a position as Farm Manager on a property called “Logeah” in the Hannaford district from 1950 – 1958, and later, as Manager

at “Kiama” in the same area from 1959 – 1960.

He later purchased his parents’ old farm at Mt. Sturt before moving back to Warwick’s Victoria Street, and later to Margaret Street, before his health began to deteriorate mainly as a result of his war-time injuries and the mental trauma associated with it. Sadly, it caught up with him as Dawson passed away on 14th September 1988 and now lies at rest at Eden Gardens in Warwick.

This story does not really highlight the dangers that the Catalina crews had to endure on combat missions against Japan. It was a very reliable aircraft and was used as a long-range aircraft that flew long distances from their bases in Cairns, Rathmines and Lord Howe Island. During the early and critical months of the Pacific War, Catalina flying boats of 11 and 20 Squadrons RAAF played a significant part in slowing the Japanese advance.

Operating from northern island bases as emergency bombers and reconnaissance aircraft, although deficient in speed, arms and armour, they exerted an influence out of all proportion to their limited numbers. It has been rumoured that on the 6th May 1942, a Catalina aircraft piloted by Flight Lieutenant Geoff Hemsworth on a coastal patrol, first spotted the Japanese naval force in the Coral Sea but this has never been confirmed that a warning by radio signal was sent to the mainland to report the approach by the Japanese, that resulted in the Battle of the Coral Sea. In the ensuing battle, the Catalina A20 – 24 was shot down by Japanese Zeros off Misima Island, and the surviving crew were captured by Japanese troops on the Island and their fate is still unknown; possibly executed by the Japanese.

Men such as Dawson Wilson, who was Mentioned in Despatches for his courage and dedication in his time with Catalina squadrons, quite justly earns the right to be recognised as a genuine hero and included in the Anzac legend.

To our new Federal Government When Australia voted last weekend, it demanded transparency and accountability from Government.

The Morrison Government’s decision to gift $178.6 million to the Emu Swamp Dam project and the 50 irrigators that will benefit economically from the project has never been subject to any independent review.

TO PROTECT TAXPAYERS WE’RE ASKING THE NEW FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO UNDERTAKE AN INDEPENDENT AND PUBLIC REVIEW OF THIS PROJECT. Given the projected cost has blown out from $84 million to an estimated $210 million, does this project deliver value for money to the taxpayer or just the 50 irrigators who will have access to the dam? www.PowEmuSwamp.org

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK

THE LIVING ROOM 10, Friday, 7.30pm

SECRETS OF ROYAL GARDENS SBS, Saturday, 8.30pm

FBI: MOST WANTED 10, Monday, 9.30pm

You never know what to expect with this fun-loving lifestyle series – other than a generous serving of childlike shenanigans and playful banter between the presenters.

Amanda Keller, Dr Chris Brown (pictured), Miguel Maestre and Barry Du Bois have the kind of chemistry that morning-TV execs wish they could bottle. This week, the segments run the gamut from silly and witty to heartfelt and thoughtful. Dr Chris is with man’s best friend – coming to the rescue of a dog that needs a helping paw – and Miguel visits Batemans Bay NSW Fire Brigade to say thanks for their hard work during fire season.

There are many prisms with which to gaze at and try to understand the British royal family. This offering takes us deep inside the magical and surprising world of the family’s spectacular gardens. Narrated by Hugh Bonneville (pictured), it’s a tour which takes in many elements of the rarefied world, including hedged mazes and exotic animals, as well as the fascinating history of the Windsor clan. While one gardener states the obvious – “it’s great being a gardener in a place like this” – it’s a stunning insight into an exclusive world.

This premiere episode explores the grounds of Buckingham, Kensington and Hampton Court Palaces.

When it comes to action films, Michael Bay is the movie director renowned for outrageous plots. In the realm of the by-the-numbers police procedural, Dick Wolf is your expert. As the creator of the Law & Order franchise – which has more than 10 spin-off series – Wolf has the blueprint for crime drama down pat, and that’s the way his fans like it. In this latest endeavour, Wolf is faithful to the popcorn predictability. In “Inheritance”, a couple are killed by a con artist pretending to be a personal trainer and Ortiz (Miguel Gomez) is between a rock and a hard place when Hana’s (Keisha Castle-Hughes, pictured) brother asks for a favour.

BARONS ABC TV, Sunday, 8.30pm

You could be forgiven for momentarily wondering whether you are watching Home and Away, or a commercial, rather than a well-acted ABC drama. Infused with a sun-kissed atmosphere and tales of drugs and drinking, Barons is not a hard-hitting drama; rather it’s a nostalgic, soft focus look back on the heyday of ’70s surfing in Australia, polished off with great costuming and an excellent soundtrack. The Vietnam War is merely a backstory as we witness the implosion of a friendship and the birth of rival surfwear brands. Tonight, a tragedy will change Buddy (Lincoln Younes, pictured) forever when he and Shirley (Catherine Vån-Davies) get caught up in Mac’s (Kick Gurry) shady Bali dealings.

Rural Links This week on the farm

By Judy Barnet, Ag Columnist The start of the week saw me taking the long road to work with water over the bridge and part of the road on both sides washed away. It’s a good excuse to stop and get a cappuccino at Texas on the way through, and sometimes also a treat for morning tea!

As I write, it is 5 am Wednesday morning. I was up bright and early at 3.30 am (well maybe remove the bright and replace it with cold) to do a live podcast with the USA Livestock Conservancy for International Heritage Breeds Week. I was pretty nervous about this, public speaking is definitely a long way out of my comfort zone, but it all went reasonably smoothly. Listening to the replay though, I didn’t realise how many times I ummed and aahed!!! The conservancy in the USA faces much the same problems as we do in Australia – lack of government support, membership and volunteers; economic viability for slower-growing or lower-yielding breeds; small gene pools and access to rare breeds and new bloodlines etc; access to facilities, particularly abattoirs, that cater to small scale producers; lack of consumer understanding of the unique qualities of different breeds, so lack of willingness to pay more; the power of trends and branding in the commercial sector (e.g. the obsession with Angus); complexities of politics within societies and the need for volunteer labour.

And, of course, there are different issues for different species. For example, mechanisation taking the traditional work that draught horses were valued for. So few people wish to keep animals that cost a great deal to keep but don’t have a market to recoup costs. Health fears about fat impact the popularity of particular pig breeds. Intensification and scaling of poultry production resulting in absurdly cheap and hyperproductive animals that are so readily available and create expectations around “normal” laying capacity and production.

However, there is a small glimmer of hope.

I received an email from the University of New England and Meat Livestock Australia (MLA) who are asking for breeders of foundation breeds of sheep to come forward and supply samples for genotyping. This enables MLA to keep a record of the different bloodlines of breeds in Australia.

Richie usually feeds the calves in the morning but I didn’t have to work this morning, so much to Dora’s delight she was able to participate in the morning feed up. She loves the calves and considers them her best friends.

Sadly, the steer calves are heading off to the sale in a week. The Herefords, being heifers, will get a reprieve as they are growing nicely out in the paddock. I have considered keeping the heifers but the heartache from the last

The Heifers.

South Suffolk Ewe Lambs.

South Suffolks.

drought and having to sell my cows is always lurking in the back of my mind.

The auction is in full swing and I am gobsmacked by the bidding so far, with the lovely set of miniature cattle yards that the Stanthorpe Men’s Shed helped restore currently sitting at $410, well beyond our wildest dreams.

I must admit I struggled a bit to get people on board to donate goods and services and at one stage thought I would have to go through my container and donate most of the goods myself if the auction was to happen. But persistence, a lot of phone calls and emails eventually resulted in some fantastic donations from some very generous sponsors!

I have put my application in to have a display of animals for this year’s Jumpers and Jazz Festival, which I believe will be situated down near the park. If I can find a shearer to shear one of the sheep on display, Judy from Warwick Spinners and Weavers has offered to spin the wool from this sheep as it is shorn. Please contact me if you would like to volunteer your shearing services!

Speaking of sheep, I thought I would tell you a bit about the South Suffolk breed this

week. One of Australia’s oldest sheep studs is selling off a draught of thirty ewe lambs due to having received so little rain in the last six months. The ewes are crackers. Thanks to Willowdrive South Suffolk Stud for this history on their breed.

South Suffolk breeders in this country are indebted to George Gould (1865-1941) of Canterbury, New Zealand. George Gould had a Southdown Stud and in 1913 imported the first Suffolks into New Zealand. He believed that by crossing the Suffolk with the Southdown one could combine the best features of both breeds, ie. the leaner carcass of the Suffolk and the finer texture of the meat of the Southdown.

The cleaner face and legs of the Suffolk lift the progeny up out of the grass seeds and George always maintained that an open-faced sheep was a better “doing” sheep and constantly pushed this point in regard to cleaning up the faces of the pure Southdown breed as well as increasing their size.

Forty years after his death, the Southdown stud masters saw the wisdom of what he had said and have done just that.

By 1929 George Gould was crossing the two

parental breeds both ways and found as Dr (now Sir John) Hammond of the School of Agriculture Cambridge University had said “that due to the genetic closeness of the parental breeds, there was not much likelihood of the splitting up of type’.

In 1940 The Council of The New Zealand Sheep Breeders Association accepted Mr Gould’s new breed of sheep (South Suffolk) into their flock book as an Appendix flock.

Taken from a letter to George Gould from Sir John Hammond, dated 28-3-1941. ‘Over here Suffolk/Southdown (South Suffolk) makes about the best carcass we can produceit has the short thick hind legs of the Southdown with the thickness of lean meat of the Suffolk- one finds in these crosses few animals that contain too much fat in proportion to lean as sometimes occurs in the Southdown. The Suffolk/Southdown (South Suffolk) not only has the good conformation of the Southdown but also has rather more weight for age, which makes it a good commercial proposition.’

The first South Suffolks were imported into Australia in1946 by Mr C.H. Kennedy of Yooraling Stud, Cunderdin, W.A. By 1959 eight Australian studs were registered in the NZ flock book.

On September 23,1958 Mr S.W.Porter of Orford, Victoria, Mr G.C. Mackie, of Culcairn, NSW, Mr R.G.Ireland and Mr A.F. Clarke of Yankalilla, S.A.formed the Australian South Suffolk Sheep Society, which printed a flock book for the breed for 14 years prior to the amalgamation with the Australian Society of Breeders of British Sheep (ASBBS) in September 1972.

From the time of the formation of the Australian Society, the South Suffolk breed gradually took its place in Australia and has some of the top sires for the production of prime lambs that have the early maturing, long carcasses and short, thick hind legs demanded by both the producer and consumer alike.

The South Suffolk is noted for its easy lambing (small heads and shoulders well let in), hardiness at birth, prepotency, and its early maturity. South Suffolk lambs are uniform in quality.

South Suffolk rams possess great libido and seem to last more years which is a great plus for the commercial breeder. South Suffolk rams may be used on any breed of ewe and will even produce prime lambs from Merino ewes.

South Suffolks have been prominent in many carcass competitions where they have yielded up to 59 per cent cold dead weight of their live weight. South Suffolk sired lambs with their short fine fleece are known to be able to stand a check and still “come again” without having to be shorn, as is the case with the more open wooled breeds.

OPINION

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

People forced to live in cars Today’s headline about homeless people could well be an urban myth; that is, a story people tell each other, swearing that it’s true. The housing crisis in Australia – a combination of unaffordable housing and scarce rental properties – is forcing people to live in their cars.

We’d stopped at Scottsdale, a high country town in Tasmania’s north-east. We’d chosen the town’s free camp, which provided toilets and showers (the latter powered by three onedollar coins). We were settling in for the evening when it became obvious that the older woman next to us was preparing to spend the night alone in her small Japanese car. The overnight forecast was a minimum of 7 degrees. She’d hung towels in the side windows and fixed a screen over the windshield. She seemed to be withdrawn, so we respected her unspoken need for privacy. But as far as I could tell (being next door and all), she went to bed as soon as it got dark. I decided my penance for not engaging in conversation was to make her a coffee in the morning. But when I arose (at 7.30 am), she had gone.

It’s not illegal to sleep in your car in Tasmania – I looked it up. In theory if you are homeless, you could free camp your way around Tassie and nobody would hassle you. Some free camps allow you to stay for up to a month.

But it does get cold from April to November, and rough campers would have to travel to town to find a public shower.

In Queensland, it’s illegal to sleep in your car unless you are parked in somebody’s driveway (with their permission). In which case you’d probably be inside, on the couch with the dog.

There are similarly tough rules in the Northern Territory. Individual local governments may have by laws that forbid it, so best to check.

The biggest problem with assessing the level of homelessness in Australia is that the

most reliable data (the Census) only comes out every five years. It could well be Spring before we see the first results of the 2021 Census.

We therefore rely on data that is six years out of date (116,471 homeless in 2016). But what’s been going on in the interim?

Recent reports show that up to 44,000 women of all ages are vulnerable to homelessness, with domestic violence being a key risk.

Homelessness Australia (the National peak body for homelessness in Australia) released an analysis of housing data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare that showed that 1,600 women over 50 sought help from homelessness services in 2016. These women were either ‘couch surfing’ - that is, staying temporarily with friends or family members, or sleeping in their cars. The numbers had increased 75 per cent and 81 per cent respectively between 2012 and 2016.

Homelessness Australia launched a campaign in March this year calling for $7.6 billion to be allocated to long-term housing for women over the next four years.

The research identified a shortfall of 16,810 homes, the building of which would provide economic benefits of $15.3 billion and create 47,000 jobs across the economy.

The 2019-2020 research report Nowhere to Go, prepared by Equity Economics, showed that 9,120 women are becoming homeless every year. Women who had experienced family and domestic violence were the biggest client group seeking assistance. In 201920, 119,200 clients, or 41 per cent of all such clients, sought assistance while experiencing domestic and family violence. More than half (55.8 per cent) required accommodation.

Alarmingly, the data also revealed that 7,690 women go back to abusive relationships, out of necessity.

Australia has had a steadily increasing homelessness problem since 2011. The elevation of housing from a place to live and grow a family to a wealth-generating asset is the key issue.

An Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) investigation from November last year found that up to two million renters aged 15 or over are at risk of homelessness.

AHURI’s brief to researchers was to identify those at risk of homelessness in smaller regional centres.

The resulting paper shows just how close so many people are to becoming homeless, primarily because of rental increases and evertightening rental vacancies.

All it would take is one life crisis – a relationship breakup, a serious illness or losing work due to economic circumstances, the authors concluded.

The survey was commissioned by AHURI from researchers from Swinburne University of Technology, University of Tasmania and

Launch Housing. The task was to estimate rates of people at risk of homelessness for small areas (with a population ranging from 3,000 to 25,000).

The AHURI study bridges the gap between what we officially know about the homeless and the ‘hidden homeless’ – those who are couch surfing, sleeping in their cars, housesitting or doing the slow lap of Australia.

The previous Federal Government’s main response to the crisis was the National Housing and Homelessness Agreement (NHHA).

The scheme started on July 1, 2018 and provides around $1.6 billion each year to States and Territories. The NHHA included $129 million a year for homelessness services.

The NHHA identifies groups of people most in need of a roof over their heads. They include older people, women and children affected by family and domestic violence, children and young people, Indigenous Australians and people exiting from care or institutions into homelessness.

This is one of the challenges for the incoming Labor PM Anthony Albanese and his promise to ‘leave no-one behind’.

Yes, it’s a depressing topic, but better solutions and attitudes could be developed, starting by not demonising those who either can’t find work or can’t work. Then we need to stop stigmatising those who for whatever reason have nowhere else to go.

In the movie Nomadland, Francis McDormand’s character Fern is asked: “My Mum says you’re homeless. Is that true? Fern: “No, I’m not homeless. I’m just houseless. Not the same thing, right?”

STANTHORPE TURNS 150 1903

Stanthorpe back in 1903 In 1903, Stanthorpe Division became the Shire of Stanthorpe on 31 March and the first council meeting was held in April 1903.

The following is an excerpt from ‘They Came to a Plateau’ by Mervyn Royle and Jean Harslett.

Mighty Oaks out of Little Acorns Grow It is interesting to note that the 1902 drought produced serious thought and action in irrigation.

The very complete system of irrigation on Mr Farrar’s Kyoomba orchard had been in existence for many years and was well known, utilising old mine waterways.

In several other instances gravitation, the cheapest method, was used.

Mr J Johnston of Ballandean purchased a double acting rotary pump driven by three h.p. engine and boiler.

It was capable of raising 6,000 gals an hour.

Mr George Smith of Lyra installed a Ryder Erricksen hot air engine for the purpose of irrigating his land.

Hoggan and Rice installed machinery for irrigation, the Rover Tin Mining Co. and Manager Mr H.G. Hamilton proposed a major irrigation scheme commencing with five orchards laid down with underground pipes, to have the dual purpose of conveying water - or steam in cold weather to prevent frost damage - but the scheme did not develop as envisaged.

There have been an incredible number of societies formed over the years for the betterment of the industry.

The Lyra C-operative Syndicate of 1899 was surely the first fruit grower’s society and was appropriately under the inspiration and leadership of Mr Robt Hoggan, the grand pioneer of the industry.

This grader worked on weight with water pressure and balance and was invented by Glen Aplin orchardist Mr G. F. Litchfield.

New machines were designed, this one for economical collection of grape prunings.

Stanthorpe of old: 1904 The following is an excerpt from The Sydney Morning Herald, Wednesday 23 March 1904.

‘In the Stanthorpe Mining District, Further Developments.

In previous articles I mentioned the fact that the district which embraces Queensland as well as New South Wales territory was attracting the attention of mining investors.

I have now to add that an inspection of the Bookookara water scheme has been made by, an expert engineering authority, and that he considers the proposition to store and convey water from the river a feasible one.

Stanthorpe is a district that takes a considerable time to investigate, on account of the vast extent over which tin-bearing deposits exist.

On the western fall of the dividing range at Sugarloaf, to which place it is probable that water will be brought from the Bookookara River, enormous quantities of tin-boaring ridges and flats exist, and if once a plentiful supply of water is obtained much tin wealth will be won.

In a recent issue of the “Sydney, Mail” a picture of one of the numerous tin bearing flats appeared, accompanied by a descriptive article of the Allison Estate, on which it is estimated that fully 2000 acres of tin-bearing land exist.

From this estate for the past 30 years hundreds of tons annually have been won.

In fact, it is now the chief tin-buying centre.

A run over the estate at once convinces the visitor that with tin at such a substantial price there is still a lasting future before this part of the district.

Further developments have taken place at Ruby Creek, Cemetery Creek, and at the Four Mile, where Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co. are operating.

Schemes are maturing for the working of large areas of land; in the mean time the labour conditions are more than fulfilled. In a previous mention of the developments going on at the Four Mile under the control of Mr. C. E. Hawley, for Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., the impression might exist that the information came from the officers in charge.

This is not the ease.

These particulars were not obtained from or through Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., but in the course of my visit to the locality.

Pretty close to three years ago I visited the Four Mile, and on my-last visit a few weeks ago investigated the place again.

Boring operations were carried out over quite a long stretch of this country by Mr. Rodda long before Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co. became associated with the venture, the results of which are well known to me, together with the vast quantities of tin won from the place.

During my latest visit I discovered that levels were being taken for the purpose of conveying water from some storage position near

the head of the Four Mile.

Boring operations had stopped, and it looked as though at a later date steps will be

From what I could see the proposition looks a good one, in the hands of the right people.’

By Emily-Rose Toohey Marvel Studio’s latest film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, marks the superhero movie directorial comeback for Sam Raimi of Tobey Maguire Spider-Man fame.

It follows the titular character (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) exploring the multifaceted multiverse with dimension jumping America Chavez (played by Xochitl Gomez), who’s on the run from an evil force.

However, it turns out this force is Wanda Scarlett Witch herself (played by Elizabeth Olsen).

Overall, the Doctor Strange sequel is a pretty mixed bag.

It has funky camera angles and horror-esq themes that are signature of Raimi’s direction, however, a lot of this is unable to reach its full potential.

Perhaps the biggest problem with this film (and most Marvel films if I’m honest) is character development.

The writing feels rushed and is designed to only further the plot wherever necessary.

Wanda is the main casualty of this poor writing.

Coming off from the Disney+ limited series WandaVision, which allowed the character to grow and for Olsen’s acting prowess to shine, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness unravels some of this development.

They present Wanda as having become completely evil and obsessed with finding a reality where she can be with her sons.

While it can be deduced that she may have been possessed by a dark force in the form of a magical book, this theory is undone with the film’s ending.

It would also serve viewers to have watched WandaVision beforehand to make sense of it all, which begs the question: is there too much Marvel content?

With the emergence of Avengers: Endgame (2019) symbolising the end of an era

Doctor Strange poster via the film’s Instagram. for a handful of our beloved superheroes like Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man and Chris Evans’ Captain America, many wondered how the studio would move forward with phase four.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige had a grand plan, including the introduction of television show and introducing the multiverse, which has yet to settle upon some general rules (the major problem of being an interconnected movie-verse).

2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home lay the groundwork for Doctor Strange two, but Marvel fatigue is a very real thing, despite the company trying to introduce interesting directors.

But is too much content of a lesser standard stopping audiences from consuming said content?

No, not at this stage, especially looking at Doctor Strange’s box office numbers.

But only time will tell.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is currently playing in theatres.

Netflix’s Heartstopper is getting all the hype at the moment, and rightfully so.

Heartstopper is a coming-of-age romantic comedy adapted from the novels by Alice Oseman.

It follows Charlie Spring, a gay schoolboy who falls in love with his classmate Nick Nelson after sitting next to him in form.

It also explores the lives of Charlie’s friends Tao, Elle, Tara, and Darcy.

The eight-part series has just been renewed for two more seasons, to the overwhelming excitement of many online.

It’s the kind of show that you can watch over and over again, especially once you realise there are a million new details to look out for with each rewatch.

The show also benefits from the weight of talent like Olivia Coleman and Stephen Fry, proving once again that British actors tend to jump at the chance to be a part of solid Young Adult media more than any other nation’s.

But Heartstopper’s success shows that what teens want might just be reality.

Watching the show, I was stunned by how realistic some elements felt- and how unrealistic other teen shows often are.

We all know the jokes about CW teens being played by 30-year-olds, but there’s something about Heartstopper that just feels so real.

It’s the little things, like teens texting like actual teens and talking like actual teens.

I think the real beauty of the show is that it treats representation with such normality.

The show and all its characters are simply

Netflix’s Heartstopper is getting all the hype at the moment, and rightfully so.

Picture: INSTAGRAM treated as teens being teens, and that may have just changed our expectations of YA media forever.

With shows like Riverdale finally, finally, coming to an end, can we please move on from teens played by thirty-year-olds who weirdly run businesses and never go to class?

Better yet, create some New Adult media with those actors and leave the teens alone.

I thought years ago when watching Skam that maybe we had turned a corner with YA media, and that realistic representation was going to become the norm.

But Skam’s American adaption bombed, and it remained a niche phenomenon.

By all accounts, we are getting better.

The upcoming Percy Jackson adaption has announced its three leads, and there’s not a 30-year-old playing a teen in sight.

Heartstopper’s success just cements that what teens want is realistic dramas treating their lives as dramatic enough as they are.

So please, make more of that.

Garden Time

GARDENING

Beatrice Hawkins

A garden that’s easy Recently I have been asked to suggest a shrub for a low growing hedge for a partly shaded area. This is not for our area but further west in a hotter climate. I know the person involved well and that flowers are a priority but the main thing will be that it is easy to care for and must look tidy!

What is there at present takes a lot of time to keep tidy and is not doing particularly well with some of the plants needing to be replaced.

This is an inherited garden and there has been a considerable amount of work on the renovation. Some paulownia trees had to be removed as they were becoming invasive and causing problems with a lovely stone fence and around a pool. They are particularly hard to eradicate as every little bit of the roots will sprout when cut! I remember someone suggesting they would be good to grow in a cultivation paddock. Not a good plan as when the paddock would be ploughed the roots would be nicked and hey presto! a new sucker would be growing with the crop!

They are a great quick-growing paddock tree providing shade and beautiful blossoms, but they do self-seed very readily and without stock about to graze the new plants they can become a real problem. The foliage is very high in protein and great stock feed, whether fresh or dry, but not ideal around a house.

As I don’t purport to be any sort of expert in gardening, I have done a lot of looking and reading, and will definitely be doing a lot of asking the experts for their suggestions!

Picture: FLOWERPOWER.COM.AU One of the plants I have found that may be suitable is a variety of Westringia called “Grey Box”.

It will grow in part shade, most soil types, is frost and drought tolerant, only about 50cm wide and high, and a naturally rounded shape.

It can be trimmed to form a hedge or left to grow naturally. It is covered in lovely small white flowers from September to May with the silver-grey foliage looking great all year.

Another plant from the same family is Westringia “Mundi”. It is more of a ground cover, so low growing, and is regarded as the lowest care form available. It is very versatile and also has small white flowers.

There are so many varieties that there seems to be one for every situation and colour scheme provided you like various blues,

mauves or white, with green or silvery-grey foliage.

Westringias are known as native rosemary, but there are many varieties and there seems to be one for most situations and environments, from the coast to well out into the western areas of the eastern states. There are also some that are native to Western Australia.

Traditional rosemary is also an option and I have one flourishing in a very shaded area against a fence with a high hedge on the other side that cuts all morning sun from that side of my house. The hedge wasn’t always there and there are a number of things that have to be shifted because of it as they now do not get enough sun. This area probably gets less than 2 hours of sunshine each day, but the rosemary is really thriving. It is the traditional blue

flowering variety. To keep it tidy in my friend’s garden, as a hedge, would require some care so would not be ideal.

I’ve also recently seen a row of mature lemon trees trimmed as a large hedge in the industrial area. They look great and the perfume from the flowers is wonderful outside R and K Takeaway on McEvoy Street.

With all this rain, weeds are flourishing! I said in a previous column that some tomatoes I had thrown onto a garden in January had all grown. They still are growing and when I looked the other day there are a lot of tomatoes on them and some ripening! I actually picked quite a number and enjoyed them. As yet the plants have not succumbed to the cold, so I may have tomatoes for a while and green ones at least, for pickles.

This year seems to be racing away with many things happening. Preparing for Jumpers and Jazz in July is well underway with the signs up around town.

The Horticultural Society is busy organising the Gardening Extravaganza to be held once again on the Wednesday and Thursday of the Festival in St Mary’s Hall in Wood Street. As usual, there will be a number of gardeningrelated stalls for you to browse and of course, sweets and treats to be enjoyed with a cuppa throughout the day. A range of tasty soups and fresh bread will be available for a nourishing lunch.

So put this event on your agenda for 26 and 27 July and I’ll see you there!

International Tea Day

By Neil Bonnell, Warwick Bridge Club The winners of the May Red Point Event are Tony Hinde and Judy Mobbs. On Board 19 last Friday (above) they were one of only two pairs who bid 4S and made all thirteen tricks. The other pairs, who played in diamonds and no trumps, either made pessimistic assumptions about their opponents’ cards or failed to count carefully.

The late Eddie Kantar wrote a whole book on the value and method of counting. On this hand, Judy (East) received the optimistic, but logical, lead of the Queen of hearts, which she duly won in hand with the Ace. Now is the time to take stock and to count – your high card points, their high card points, your possible losers and their possible holdings. Assuming that the trumps are split evenly between North and South there are no losers in spades, but there are two possible losers in both hearts and clubs. You can’t be sure about the length of South’s hearts, but it should be safe to trump one in dummy (West). Then you go fishing for the Jack of diamonds by playing the ten, but you play the Queen whether the Jack appears or not. You do watch to see whether North pauses for thought. Now there are three ways to continue: try to trump a second heart (North overruffs), finesse the Jack of clubs (North wins with the King) or run the diamonds (winning line). When the defenders’ diamonds lie 3-2 you have enough diamond winners in dummy on which to discard those remaining three losers in hand. A final thought – never underestimate the value of those intermediate cards: 10, 9, 8, 7. They can often be promoted very quickly.

By Jeremy Lister Many people probably missed it but it was International Tea Day on Saturday 21 May and it is on that day because the tea harvesting season starts in May in most of the countries that produce tea.

I know this because Yorkshire tea sent me a package from England and there was a handwritten note inside telling me about International Tea Day. They also sent me an email with some interesting recipes and information about tea.

With regards to the great milk first (miffy) or tea first (tiffy) debate. I am a firm believer of having tea in your cup first and then adding the milk. To make my perfect cup of tea I make the tea as strong as possible and put enough milk in so that it looks like the tea has a slight tan colour. Dad also likes a very strong cup (bucket) of tea but he likes to prewarm his very large cup and put the tea bag(s) in with the hot water straight away to let it brew. Then the tea bags must come out BEFORE the milk is added. Mum doesn’t drink tea, she’s a coffee drinker but Nonna and Dan Dan both like tea.

My everyday tea is Yorkshire gold but I like trying different teas and have a tea collection in the kitchen at home. For my birthday mum ordered some special teas from England for me that you can’t buy in Australia including Yorkshire bedtime tea with vanilla and nutmeg, Yorkshire malty biscuit brew and Yorkshire breakfasty toast & jam. I hope that you’re enjoying a cup of tea while you’re reading my column. Happy International Tea Day!

The Spin A time of change for Mott Who would have even dreamt we would all be in this position when a couple of years ago not a drop of rain could be coaxed from the skies.

It seems the Southern Downs has been awash for weeks and the cancellations are more prolific than competitions at the moment.

However amid the disappointments of missed competitions and sadness all sports lovers, especially cricket fans felt at the shock death of Andrew ‘Roy’Symonds, there have been some bright lights in sport.

Regular readers were treated in last week’s edition to the heartfelt memories our sub editor Tania Phillips shared of the late Andrew Symonds and his former clubmate Matthew Mott.

Andrew Symonds is well-known to most – Mott perhaps not so much.

Mott, himself a skilled cricketer has been one the driving forces behind the success of the Australian women’s Cricket team. He has developed a group of highly skilled individuals into a formidable international team, and that success has not gone unnoticed.

While Mott and his cohorts made the preparations to farewell their mate ‘Roy’ in Townsville this Friday, the news came that Mott is about to be lost to Australian Cricket but hopefully for only a short while.

He has been announced as the new coach of the English men’s white ball team. It is well deserved recognition of a coaching talent that has somehow flown under the radar of the Australian Cricket Board. He is the latest international recruited to the Pommie coaching staff and will join newly appointed English test coach Kiwi, Brendan McCullum.

While it is a great loss to the Australian Women’s team, Mott’s appointment to a senior international role should springboard this talented Aussie Coach to the next level of his career. Believe me when I say there will be no-one cheering louder than our sub editor, Tania who has been singing his praises for some time.

His success as a player and coach has obviously benefited from his experience with at the Australian Cricket Academy with one of the other greats we have lost this year – one Rodney Marsh.

I’m guessing Roy’s mates will be making it quite a party on Friday afternoon in Townsville – celebrating Roy’s life and Matthew Mott’s opportunity, something his Roy would be so very proud of.

- Casey

CASLICK MAKING AN IMPACT The DHL World Rugby Sevens Series wrapped up a few days ago and Australia’s number one women’s sevens player Charlotte Caslick can add another title to her impressive war chest of awards.

Charlotte was named the DHL Impact Player of the series which was won by the Aussie Pearls. The award recognises the players making a difference in all areas of the game and corners of the pitch – highlighting the trymakers and not just the try-takers.

Caslick amassed 276 points well ahead of second placed Lucy Mulhall of Ireland (221) and Amee Leigh Murphy Crowe also of Ireland (209).

Caslick and her Sevens teammates have their eye on gold at the upcoming Commonwealth games.

BIG WEEK, BIG WIN FOR COWBOYS The Warwick Cowboys put a week of disruption and challenges behind them at the weekend and headed to Oakey for their round six clash with the Bears. Club officials, players and supporters are extremely grateful to the Oakey Bears for agreeing to transfer the game from Fr Ranger Oval to the Bears home ground after the most recent flooding episode in Warwick.

Conditions on the Trevor Mickleborough 32 TODAY Thursday, 26 May, 2022

Members of the Warwick Golf Club’s second division pennant team: Josh Hynes, Mitchell McLennan, Shaun Campbell, Kris Mclennan, Rhys Farrell, Jay Roberts and Clayton Frank are hoping to repeat their success in the Golf In Australia competition at Middle ridge when they play Borneo Barracks in the upcoming final of the Second Division Pennants. The team is pictured with the trophy after that recent success.

Oval were still challenging, and it was a grinding gamin the heavy conditions.

It has taken several games, but it was evident on the weekend that the Cowboys have found their stride. Half back Mitch Wilson has been in good form and on Saturday directed his troops around the park well and opened the scoring for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys held the upper hand in the first half taking a handy lead to the half time break.

Oakey’s resolve never wavered and in the second half scored three tries, but this was a game the Cowboys were not going to concede.

Byron Creighton is proving a real asset to the side and when he is injected into the game has a significant impact. Creighton scored three almost identical tries from close range.

Centre Tyrelle Ross and second rower Tom Bell were the Cowboy’s other try scorers. Captain Mick Bloomfield finished with a perfect six conversions from six attempts pushing the final score out to a very convincing 36-6.

Although it was a great team effort, many watching the game earmarked Byron Creighton as the difference between the two sides, and it was no surprise he was named the Players Player.

For the second game in a row Creighton also received three points Webcke Price Medal.

Mitch Wilson always one of the Cowboy’s most consistent picked up one point.

There is now a real log jam at the top of the TRL A Grade leader board.Heading into round seven four teams have nine points – Gatton (+168); Wattles (+103); Dalby (+74)) Goondiwindi (+62).Warwick is snapping at their heels, now on seven point 9+56). It is certainly representative of a very close competition.

Warwick 36 (Byron Creighton 3, Mitch Wilson, Tyrelle Ross, Tom Bell tries; Michael Bloomfield 6 goals) defeated Oakey 16 (Kamuta Siaosi, Noel Bartman, N/A tries; Dylan Adamson 2 goals) Warwick came home with wins in all three grades. The reserve grade scored a 26-10 win.

Fullback Jordyn Hogden was named Players Player.

Reserve Grade Warwick 26 (Cameron Martin-Brown, Morgan Taylor, Liam O’Dempsey, Kai Etherington tries; Matthew Henry 2, Paul Cantwell goals) defeated Oakey 10 (Timothy Coleman, Tristan Hooper tries; Alexander McKellar goal) The Under 19’s notched up there third win for the season downing Oakey 14-6 in a tough game. Player’s Player honours went toSam Raumati.

Under 19’s Warwick 14 (Dean Mauch, Augustus Macdade, Damien Beresford tries; Jayden Tucker goal) defeated Oakey 6 (Lleyton Dennis try; Malik Woodbridge goal).

Another tough game coming up for the Cowboy’s this weekend when theyplay the Gatton Hawks.

WARWICK GOLFERS AND GOLF COURSE SUFFERING An email from Garry Hansen of Warwick Sporters earlier this week confirmed the news that Golf in Warwick has taken a hit due to the rain. Although the course itself has suffered no damage it is simply too wet to play and there has been neither midweek nor weekend competitions for some time.

Not even the club mowers are able to get

on to the course so it is no surprise that buggies remain adefinite no go zone because of the damage they would cause. Walkers are still able to play but it seems that there are not many keen to take up that option.

The majority of competition players (Men and Ladies) in Warwick here are buggy riders hence no competition play.

The Sporters competition set down for Wednesday of this week was called off early in the week.

The Warwick Ladies captain Roslyn Darton confirmed the situation is the same for the women and many of their competitions called off.

However, a group of the ladies did not let the weather interfere with their monthly sponsors lunch at the Condamine Sports Club last week. The Condamine club sponsor the ladies Monthly Medal competitions throughout the year.

Roslyn said she is hoping to get some of the ladies who walk the course back out playing later this week. Again, that is entirely dependent on the weather.

However there has been some good news for the Warwick Golf Club and that has been the success of the second and fifth division Men’s Pennant teams.

It is believed to be the first time in the club’s history that two teams have made it through to the finals in the same year.

The second division team of Mitch McLennan, Chris McLennan, Rhys Farrell, Jay Roberts, Josh Hinze, Clayton Frank and Chris Hinze will play Borneo Barracks in the final in Warwick. No surprise that the final has been postponed until some time in June due to the condition of the course.

The fifth division team of Simon McDonald, Shane Scotney, Eamon Cochrane, Shaun Haynes and Daniel Bowls are through to the finals in their division and will play Toowoomba City at City on Sunday 19 June.

Like all other golfers these players would like nothing more than to see some sunshine and get back on their home course.

HEAD WEST It has been unusually quiet at the Southern Cross Bowls Club recently with the weather stymying any chance to get on the green.

There was good news for some members of the club who headed west to Inglewood last week in search of better weather. They discovered it wasn’t raining in Inglewood and played the Inglewood Four’s Carnival.

Barry Ziebell, Dave Scotney, Clark Davidson and Kim Hankinson were first round winners.

Not only did they get to play bowls, but they came home with a prize as well.According to reports Inglewood hosted a most successful event.

Thursday, the “Cross” team of Cameron Wilson, Geoff Davis and Kev Mooney headed to Tannymorel Bowls Club and were good enough to leave with the runner-up prize in Tuck’s Tanny Triples competition.

The Southern Cross ladies have a team playing in the Gala Fours event at Tannymorel today so good luck to those players.

On Saturday(28/5), with a little luck and some more favourable conditions the club will be hosting Social Mixed Bowls at 1pm. Beginners and all bowlers are welcome. Free coaching will also be available. Be there by 12.30pm.

Please contact Clark (Ph: 0427 673 277).

A reminder that rain or shine the ladies will be holding their committee meeting on Thursday 2/6 at 10.30am at the club.

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

Follow the club on Facebook or contact the Secretary, Cheryl on 0407 641 158 for any information.

BACK ON THE LAWN Having missed one full week of play due to the weather conditions the Warwick Croquet group was delighted to be back on the lawn last week.

On Tuesday 17 May the lawn had dried for two Association Games. In the first game Peter Campbell defeated Tony Hinde 17-8.

RECORD CANCELLATIONS AND CABIN FEVER SETTING IN Another dismal week of wet weather preceded the Saturday golf competition in Stanthorpe and again the rain and wet fairways forced the cancellation of any play last weekend.

Long-time members of the golf are having difficulty remembering the last time Saturday competition was completely cancelled, let alone for two weeks in a row.

Unfortunately, Stanthorpe Sporters Sunday comepitition also suffered the same fate.

Even the resident Roos and Ducks have had enough, and the club’s greenkeeper will soon require therapy if the conditions do not improve shortly.

Golfers across the Southern Downs, much like the district’s bowlers are beginning to suffer cabin fever.

Everyone is hopeful this weather will ease off soon allowing the course to dry out and let competition start again.

Who would have even dreamt that a couple of years ago that sporting organisations or anyone in Stanthorpe would all be in this position a couple of years ago when not a drop could be coaxed from the skies. Mother nature is a tough mistress.

MAKING THE MOST OF CONDITIONS With a return to some clearer weather conditions, the Stanthorpe Mallet players found themselves back on the court last week.

The Association Croquet group were the first to hit the court on Tuesday (17/5). Grace Howard and Pauline Smith took on Jenny Tunbridge in what was a close game. Howard and Smith got off to a good start taking the lead after Howard scored four hoops in a row.

Tunbridge showed all of her experience and with two runs of two and some excellent play went to score a 19-15 win. Joy Newman got off to a healthy lead in her game against Sharyn Roser. Newman managed to hold the lead until the last half hour of the game when her play stalled on hoop four back with one of her balls. Roser took advantage of the opportunity and after two peels and some accurate roquets Roser came home with a wet sail to win 22-18.

The Golf Croquet group tested the conditions on Wednesday (18/5). In game one Kathy Hopgood (3), Shirley Evans (0) and Bev Sullivan (2) lost to Di Wren (8) and Liz Ellway (3). Wren was played accurately and scored a particularly good jump shot (one of the harder shots of the game when an opponent’s ball is blocking the hoop and the player must make the ball jump over the top and go through the hoop to score).

In the second game of the morning Evans and Sullivan each scored five hoops against Hopgood (2), Wren (3) and Ellway (1). Evans played very well while her partner Sullivan scored with a trick shot.

The weather conditions deteriorated late in the week and when the Gateball players lined up on Friday they were confronted with overcast and drizzly weather and a strong cold wind. The conditions did not dampen the player’s enthusiasm as they hit the court although it did take a little while for them to warm up.

Les Williams, Sharyn Roser and Grace Howard won the toss and elected to play white balls against Joy Newman, Jenny Tunbridge and Pauline Smith (red balls).

In the early stages if the opening game both teams struggled to put their balls in play. Reds took control of hoop three but in spite of their early dominance whites warmed to the game and showed some good form scoring a decisive victory taking 17 points (including two Agaris). Although Newmanplayed some accurate long roquets Red’s scored on.ly five points.

The second of the four games was very close until Sharyn Roser sparked three 3 red balls out of play allowing her white team to take their second win of the morning with a 9-8 score line.

In the final two games teams swapped colours. Newman continued to play well for the now white team and scored the only Agari of the third game with a long spark. However, in spite of thisthe red team scored a healthy 17-11 after controlling hoops two and three for the majority of the game. There was little between the teams in game four. Reds took a small lead before Tunbridge managed to score a touch-and-gate and put three red balls out of play. It put the white team in the lead, and they went on to win 12-9.

WARWICK EAST BOWLERS TASTE SUCCESS Saturday afternoon Bowls at the Warwick East Club again fell victim to the weather conditions. In search of more desirable bowling conditions three teams from the club headed to Inglewood (where it did not rain) for the Inglewood club carnival.

Jim Leys, Gordon Assay, Matt Shepherd and Mick O’Leary were pleased to have made the trip when they won the event. Danny Hughes, Johnno Johnson, Rob Alcock and Peter Collis made it a worthwhile trip for the visitors when they finished runners up.

The first match of the self-selected pairs was played on Sunday. Rob Alcock and Danny Hughes took little head of the less than ideal conditions and scored a 25-16 win over Matt Shepherd and Dave Smith. There will be more games played this Saturday afternoon and organisers are hoping for better weather condi34 TODAY Thursday, 26 May, 2022

GREMLINS HOME AT SULLIVAN OVAL The Stanthorpe Gremlins hosted Texas in round three of the 2022 Border Rivers competition and their games followed a big day of junior rugby league. Conditions for the early junior rugby league games between the Gremlins and Collegians were miserable and deteriorated as the day wore on.

The Texas Terriers are looking better with each game they play this season and on Saturday put it to the Gremlins going down 12-10 to the home side.

The Terriers scored twice but two late tries to the Gremlins second rower Tusipasi Asalele and half back Jake Burnell put the Gremlins back in the frame. The difference was the kicking performance of Jake Burnell who finished the game with two from two to give his side a two point win and the competition points.

In the Ladies League tag game, Stanthorpe bounced back after a big first round loss to the Terriers to win Saturday’s game 24-12.

Conditions at Tenterfield Rugby League Park for the first home game of the 2022 season were little better as the Tigers hosted the Roosters. The Tigers revelled in the conditions notching up a comprehensive 42-12 win over the previously unbeaten Roosters.

Tenterfield always looked to have control of the game and ran in eight tries. Tyler Sargeant again had the kicking duties and converted five from eight attempts.

The Roosters two tries coming from Shane Hooper and Brent Osbourne. Mitch Stafford converted both tries.

Tenterfield 42 (Tries - Jayden Mediero; Wesley Smith; Geoffrey Swan 2 Nathan Dearden 2; Jacob Harding ; Jake Kelly . Conversions Tyler Sargeant 5.) defeated Inglewood 12 ( Tries Shane Hooper; Brent OSBORNE. Conversions Mitchell Stafford 2).

The Tigers League tag teams have led the way in the Ladies comepitition since its inception in the Border Rugby League days and they continue to dominate. On Saturday they scored a 34-6 win in the clash against the Roosters and remain undefeated to date in 2022.

This weekend Tenterfield play the Gremlins and Texas host the Roosters.
