Budget blow-out

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Councillors will vote this week on whether to commit extra funds to the Stanthorpe Art Gallery and Library project, reduce the work being done on the project, or scrap the project entirely.

A late agenda item was attached to the agenda for Wednesday 27 July meeting, rec-

ommending that Council proceed with the one construction tender submission received for the project.

In November 2021, Council was awarded $2m as part of the Building Better Regions Fund to upgrade the Stanthorpe Library and Art Gallery. Council co-contributed $2m bringing the total available project funds to

$4m. The one submission received in the recent tender was from St Hilliers Pty Ltd. The agenda item states that “the submitted price was well above the assigned budget of $4m” and later stated there may be excess costs of $2m to $2.5m to cover. The agenda states that “negotiations are occurring with the tenderer with a view to reducing the submis-

sion price”.

The higher than expected cost is attributed in the report to “the impacts of the Covid pandemic, increasing inflation, rise in cost of steel products and shortage of trades and subcontractors due to ongoing flood and other disaster events”.

Disaster assistance extended following flooding Disaster assistance grants have been extended to flood-affected primary producers, small businesses and communities affected by the Southern Queensland flooding event in May. The assistance is made available through the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).

Federal Minister for Emergency Management, Senator the Hon Murray Watt said the flooding in May had followed a number of earlier disaster events, compounding the impacts on Southern Queensland primary producers and small business owners.

“Primary producers in the Balonne, Lockyer Valley, Southern Downs, Somerset, Western Downs and Gympie local government areas now have access to additional primary producer recovery grants of up to $75,000,” Minister Watt said.

For more information on grant assistance visit www.qrida.qld.gov.au or free call 1800 623 946.

Information on disaster assistance can be found on the Queensland Reconstruction Authority’s website at qra.qld.gov.au.

Queensland is moving full speed towards a carbon-neutral future with more than 10,000 electric vehicles now registered across the state.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said electric vehicles would play a critical role in Queensland achieving its carbon emission targets.

“Every day I’m talking to more and more Queenslanders driving electric vehicles, and they’re telling me they love driving them, whether it’s to and from work, to the shops or on their weekends away,” Mr Bailey said.

He stated there are now more than 10,000 electric vehicles registered in the state.

Mr Bailey said the milestone coincided with the start of the Queensland Electric Super Highway phase three rollout, which would see 24 electric vehicle charging sites open in regional and rural locations.

“The first charging station to open as part of the phase three will be at Kingaroy in August, while other stations including Longreach, Cloncurry and Stanthorpe will open in the coming months.”

IN BRIEF

Residents divided on library closure

By Dominique Tassell Locals have expressed mixed opinions over the plan for Stanthorpe Library during the upcoming construction period.

The Stanthorpe Library will close its current location at 6 pm on Friday 12 August and reopen its doors at 10 am on Monday 29 August at 61 Marsh Street.

Local John Fraser stated “I have no idea how this travesty has occurred but it sounds as if planning for the expanded Library/Art Gallery project has been conducted by dumb and dumber”.

He said that the location at Marsh Street is a “token presence”.

“In reality, this means a closure to regular library goers.”

“As a regular user, I can say that I would be distraught if the library was closed for two months,’ John said. “It is totally unacceptable that it is closed for the (minimum) six months to two years.”

John said he will be lodging a complaint with the Council.

Another local stated took a different view, stating that “I think that in the circumstances the library is doing the very best they can given that they have limited space”.

“Yes we will have more books available to browse for a while, but it gives me a good excuse to go online and explore their huge range

Locals have expressed mixed opinions over the plan for Stanthorpe Library during the upcoming construction period. of ebooks and audiobooks.

“I also think they’ll be doing a really great job getting what we ask for.

“We only have to go and ask about it and I know that they can go and find it for us and bring it to us so I’m not worried.

“I think the staff will continue to do an excellent job.”

Other locals have expressed concern over the availability of books for the elderly, who may not be as comfortable using technology, and children who rely on the library given there is no designated bookstore in town.

Cr Stephen Tancred stated that “during the pandemic, we ran a library service that was contactless”.

“People could phone up or order online.

“What we’re offering now is a lot better than that,” he said. “People can be helped to order their books online.”

“The service is better than what we had in the pandemic.

“There won’t be a very big delay and there could be teething problems but we still want a service.”

“The library does more than books and we’ll try to keep that going.”

Cr Cameron Gow said that his understanding was that Council staff have been working closely with the gallery and library to make sure there is a service.”

He mentioned the Council’s library truck, stating “we do try to provide as much of a service as we can”.

“We can reasonably acknowledge that there will be some disruption while the upgrade is worked on,” he said. “But it will be bigger and better afterwards.”

Locals unimpressed with off-leash dogs

By Dominique Tassell Locals have expressed their dismay at the number of dogs walking off-leash in town, and the number of owners not cleaning up after their pets.

One local said that as Council provide bags for dog poo, there is no excuse for picking it up. It’s not a pleasant task, they say, but it’s the right thing to do.

Some say they have given up on walking their dogs along Quart Pot Creek as a result of the brazen dog owners. Locals have also expressed concerns about the risk of attacks as a result of dogs being off-leash.

A Council spokesperson confirmed that there is a dedicated off-leash dog park located between Talc and Britannia Streets near McMurties Bridge in Stanthorpe.

“The park has two dog poo bag dispensers located at each entry point”.

The spokesperson confirmed that locals will be fined by Council for walking their dogs off-leash in areas where this is not permitted, and stated that staff carry leashes for such occasions.

IN BRIEF

NEWS WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Drug driver charged At Warwick Magistrates Court on Monday, a man pleaded guilty to one count of driving while a relevant drug was present in system.

At 8.25pm on Friday 3 June, he was submitted to a roadside drug test on Victoria Street and cannabis was detected in his saliva.

He said two weeks prior to the incident, he smoked a joint at a party, which was still in his system.

“I do apologise to the court - I’ve got two young kids to look after,” he said.

However, Magistrate Virginia Sturgess said it did not matter whether a person was adversely affected by the drug or not.

“Cannabis does remain in your system much longer than you’d think,” Magistrate Sturgess said.

“If you want to keep your licence, stay away from the drugs.”

The defendant was fined $500 and his licence was disqualified for three months.

Drink driver charged A Warwick man pleaded guilty to one count of driving over the alcohol limit at the Magistrates Court on Monday.

At 10.19pm on Wednesday 13 July on Glen Road, police observed a white Mitsubishi and subsequently pulled the driver over for a roadside drug breath test, which was high over the alcohol limit.

The defendant said on the night of the incident, he had no plans of driving but received a call from a friend who had broken down on the highway.

“RACQ said they’d be 45 minutes to an hour, and he was in a precarious spot,” the defendant said.

“I fixed the car in five minutes and was pulled over on the way back.”

Magistrate Sturgess said there were consequences for making a foolish decision after the defendant explained his youngest child was about to go for their Learners.

As a result, he was fined $650 with a threemonth licence disqualification.

“You don’t want to turn three months off the road to two years off the road if you drive during this time, and believe me, there are a lot of people who do,” Magistrate Sturgess said.

Vote on Stanthorpe gallery and library

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Councillors will vote this week on whether to commit extra funds to the Stanthorpe Art Gallery and Library project, reduce the work being done on the project, or scrap the project entirely.

A late agenda item was attached to the agenda for Wednesday 27 July meeting, recommending that Council proceed with the one construction tender submission received for the project.

In November 2021, Council was awarded $2m as part of the Building Better Regions Fund to upgrade the Stanthorpe Library and Art Gallery.

Council co-contributed $2m bringing the total available project funds to $4m.

The one submission received in the recent tender was from St Hilliers Pty Ltd. The agenda item states that “the submitted price was well above the assigned budget of $4m” and later stated there may be excess costs of $2m to $2.5m to cover.

The agenda states that “negotiations are occurring with the tenderer with a view to reducing the submission price”.

The higher than expected cost is attributed in the report to “the impacts of the Covid pandemic, increasing inflation, rise in cost of steel products and shortage of trades and subcontractors due to ongoing flood and other disaster events”.

Staff have recommended that Council proceed with the one tender received, on the basis that it is unlikely Council will receive future grant funding for the project.

Councillors will be asked to consider four options, the first being that Council proceeds with the submission and finds additional funds.

The second option is to reject the tender submission and go back to the market seeking further tender submissions.

The third option being considered is to reduce the scope of the project, and finally, the fourth option is to cancel the project and return the $2m in funding to the Federal Government.

Cr Andrew Gale said he’d like to find a solution for the project, while Cr Marco Gliori said the project is encountering “an unfortunate set of circumstances”.

“I understand the staff and volunteers are ready and willing to move locations so the project can proceed,” Cr Gliori said. “However the current economic climate and supply chain issues have contributed to the estimates signalling a cost blowout for the project, the implications of which, we are to consider this Wednesday.”

“We are so close to the building phase I personally believe it would be considered by many in the community, somewhat disappointing to see momentum stalled, but I

Cr Stephen Tancred and Gallery Director Mary Findlay at the last final exhibition at the current gallery. also suspect higher costs will be a constant theme to consider for many projects moving forward.

“I believe all Councillors recognize how many years of hard work have gone into the vision and planning of the Gallery and Library enhancement project, and I am sure we will consider all options, with that previous hard work in mind.

Cr Cynthia McDonald stated that as a Councillor “I have numerous thoughts on the Stanthorpe Art Gallery and Library Project”.

“Obviously in the current circumstances many projects are going to go over cost and budget,” she said.

“There are nine elected members around the table in the chamber and we will thoroughly debate the issue in a democratic manner.

“Our job is to represent the communities (sic) best interests and Im (sic) comfortable this will happen on Wednesday.”

Cr Stephen Tancred stated that he would “like to find a way for the project to go ahead, but there are obviously a lot of financial difficulties and we’ll be talking about it and discussing it.”

“The project has been talked about for nearly seven or eight years,” he said.

“It was important to the last council, and it’s important to this council.

“I’d like to find a way forward but there’s a lot to discuss.”

Cr Ross Bartley stated that his thoughts will be given at the table.

He said Council will undergo due democratic process.

Cr Cameron Gow said he will wait until the officers present their findings and he hears from the other councillors before he decides how he will vote.

“I support the upgrade, I used to be one of the council delegates to the art gallery committee years ago.”

“I’m aware of the background.”

Cr Gow said he was also on council when the library was expanded and upgraded.

“I’m looking forward to whatever upgrade we can afford,” he said.

Mayor Vic Pennisi said that “it’s up to the councillors”.

“That’s a project that we’ve committed to, and we will make a decision on what we want to do,” he said. “I look forward to discussing it.”

The news was met with debate online.

Suz Brazier stated that the Council should return the funding and save the $2m.

“The gallery is fabulous just as it is,” they said.

It was commented that the gallery lacks storage space, which is part of what prompted the upgrade.

Yvette Giannake stated that “it would be madness to accept the tender with the expectation of costs blowing out even further”.

“Unless they are able to go back to the design phase and adapt to something that can be completed within the budget, they should return the funds.

“Spending extra money in anticipation of not getting another go at federal funding is an extremely flawed economic decision.

“I understand the need for some improved facilities but they might be better off anticipating a completely new purpose-built facility in the future rather than paying for overpriced renovations.”

Crs Jo McNally and Sheryl Windle were contacted for comment but did not respond.

Green light for feedlot

By Emily-Rose Toohey An application for a feedlot near Allora presented at the 13 July Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) meeting was approved, but the project is a highly contentious one.

Rural residents living close to the development have spoken out against it, and Cr Marco Gliori said 63 submissions were sent from the community in opposition to the application.

“Over 85 per cent of the surrounding community have spoken out against this project because they believe it will severely impact their rural amenity as neighbours, generational farmers, and as residents,” Cr Gliori said.

“I’m not against feedlots, but I strongly believe this is the right project in the wrong place.

“How much more impact do we allow before it takes a toll on the rural amenity, the environment and those who share the space?”

Feedlots are a form of intensive animal farming where animals such as cattle and sheep are fed and fattened for the market.

The Allora feedlot will be located at McDonnell and Glengallen Road, Mount Marshall (Sheep and Cattle Feedlot – 999 SCU or 6,000 SSU), and SDRC councillors went into formal debate regarding the project after amending elements of the motion.

Cr Stephen Tancred said the Australian feedlot industry was one of the most heavily regulated agricultural industries in the world.

“This gives the rural operators, residents, and people interested in animal welfare and the environment some confidence,” Cr Tancred said.

“Nearly all submitters raised roads (safety, wear and tear, noise, dust), many raised odour, some raised visual amenity, concerns from an environmental point of view, and a healthy farming point of view in regards to manure, and soil and water.

“Our job is to mitigate these impacts with conditions or refuse.”

However, Cr Cynthia McDonald said she lived close to a feedlot at Rodgers Creek for the last six years and she finds the impacts minimal.

“A lot of farmers were thankful for feedlotters during the drought because we ran out of feed full stop,” Cr McDonald said.

“The only way we could feed our cattle was to work in conjunction with the feedlots - they have their place in our agriculture industry.”

Nonetheless, Cr McDonald said she agreed that there were some impacts, as detailed by those against the project.

“We need to reach a level of compromise,” she said.

“The agricultural industry in this region is massive, however, there are a lot of people that gave up their time to come and speak to us as councillors with some pertinent points.

“We need to respect those views and look at it in conjunction with the application.”

Cr Marco Gliori said he had no objection with feedlots and the way they were governed, but was also concerned about the impacts.

“There are concerns that the roads won’t cope with vehicles and trucks and at some stage, we need to say this is not good for our environment,” he said.

“There are six intensive farming properties located within 10km of Allora, and that doesn’t mean we need another.”

Furthermore, Cr McDonald said feedlots were drought-proofing and was a great step for diversification.

“The applicants have a business plan they’re going further into embryo harvesting and breeding in the future, and we need to embrace different types of intensive industry,” she said.

Moreover, Cr Stephen Tancred said that the zone in which the feedlot will be located is considered a rural area.

“The purpose of the rural zone code is for rural uses including cropping, intensive horticulture, intensive animal industries, animal husbandry, animal keeping and other primary production activities,” he said.

“As Cr McDonald has said, is to intensify and diversify.

“We should all welcome the increased economic activity of Region and Allora with increased feed, vet/animal inputs, employment, saleyards, and transport industries.”

He also said that the feedlot’s conditions are strong and detailed.

“Our staff and council here today have mitigated the effects, and softened the blow for some concerns,” Cr Tancred said.

“I’m comfortable in regards to odour, roads, noise, operating hours, environmental water and soil concerns and will support the application with its many conditions and mitigations.”

Divisions tabled at council

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Councillors have shared their personal views on divisions and portfolios in the region, and whether they produce better representation for locals. The Council confirmed earlier this month that they had informally decided not to pursue divisions in time for the next election.

Cr Andrew Gale has long been a supporter of divisions in the region.

“I’m a little disappointed that we have run out of time to do it in this term. It needs to be done properly. It needs to be fair,” he said.

He stated that the Council has realised that “if we want to do it correctly there is a fair bit of money and time and resources that go into it”.

“I’m disappointed that we haven’t been able to get it to that point early enough.”

Cr Gale stated that he is “fully supportive of the decision not to pursue it in this term of Council even though that’s personally disappointing”. He said that in order to create better representation, pursuing divisions needs to be done properly and ensure that there are “good, clearly-definable boundaries” with an equal spread of the population.

“There are arguments for and against (divisions),” he said. “I’m really looking forward to having that debate.”

Cr Gale said he believes divisions make Councillors much more accountable, but it’s “not going to fix everyone’s issues”.

“I know I get contacted by people from all over the region and I’m happy to represent people all over the region.”

He said he’d like to see Council start working on gathering local opinion about divisions now, to get a head start on the new deadline in 2026. Regarding portfolios, Cr Gale said that “we’re all responsible for everything”.

“Having divisions or portfolios could serve to make my job easier, as it sits at the moment we have a lot of overarching responsibility for everything.”

Cr Marco Gliori stated that while he previously “didn’t mind” the idea of divisions in 2020, he’s since formed the opinion that “it doesn’t so much matter where a Councillor lives, but how willing they are to represent a specific area”.

“I also believe Divisional elections have the potential to reduce the pool of candidates.”

He stated that if told he was responsible for a certain area, he would make a concerted effort to make himself available there, “to gather up their issues and present them to Council and my colleagues, for discussion and consideration”.

“But, at the moment, I could be travelling an hour to attend an Art Exhibition or one of several committee meetings in Stanthorpe, speaking at a Vietnam Veteran’s Day in Killarney, considering facilities needing repair in Allora, passing on planning related issues from Maryvale or chairing an AGM in Warwick.”

Cr Gliori stated that at the moment, he tries to be everywhere.

“I do not believe representing a Division needs to be a formal State Government decision, it just requires a commitment from Councillors to agree to a system where Elected

Representatives have a designated area, and then to get busy organizing themselves to be the most effective elected representatives they can be, not just for that area or division, but the entire Southern Downs,” he said.

He said he can’t really compare systems, due to being a first-term Councillor.

“I enjoyed my Portfolios of Arts and Culture, Sport and Recreation and Events, so if we returned to those portfolios I would be ok with that.”

Cr Gliori stated that after portfolios were discontinued, Council considered appointing people to different areas, but then voted to appoint individual Councillors to represent on Boards and Advisory Committees.

“I personally find it all a bit of an organizational merry-go-round,” he said. “I am sure different systems suit different Mayors, Administrations Councillors, and the community, for a variety of reasons.”

He said that regardless of the system, he personally believes it is important to get the little things right.

“Councillors are a conduit between the community and SDRC, passing on important Council information and collating concerns, answering emails, returning calls, and attending as many events as possible where ‘community’ is being created by those who elected us.”

Cr Cynthia McDonald stated that she is personally “ambivalent” about divisions as she feels any Southern Downs resident should be able to contact any Councillor they choose.

“I believe we all have our strengths and weaknesses and the community members speak to whom they believe can represent their interests best,” she said.

Cr McDonald stated that she had been called to look into problems on the opposite side of the region, but is happy to do that “as are all elected members”. She stated that she enjoyed working in portfolios, as it “allows Councillors to specialise in their strengths”.

“Often our previous or current employment and training provides us with excellent foundations to speak on specialised areas,” Cr McDonald said. “This does not however preclude a Councillor from expanding their horizons and learning new skills in different areas.”

Cr Stephen Tancred stated that he thinks the discussion on divisions is premature, and he believes there are good arguments on both sides. He stated that, personally, he did prefer having a portfolio.

“But we have very good staff and we have a terrific CEO,” he said. “If a councillor wants to get involved in something, they deserve the opportunity.”

Cr Tancred stated that any Councillor can get involved with any issue they care to, and have good committees to specialise in different issues. Cr Ross Bartley has previously worked in divisions, and said “people felt they were more in touch with the council with the divisional representation”. He said that Councillors resided in the region they represented, and were more easily contacted.

“It didn’t preclude us from going into other divisions,” he said. “Decisions were still made around the table.”

Cr Bartley said he thought they were better in touch with their area under divisions but did possibly become territorial. While Cr Bartley has been an elected representative for 20 years, he has not had a portfolio for most of that. For the first 12 years of his time as Councillor, they had the “proper committee system”.

Council only met once a month at this time.

Cr Bartley said that portfolios were only recently introduced, and he believes “as Councillors we need to be across everything”, with the Mayor as the spokesperson.

“What do we hope to achieve from a portfolio, outside of publicity?”

Cr Cameron Gow has also previously been elected under a divisional system, and said he is happy with “whatever the community wants”. He stated that they previously thought they had enough time to pursue divisions for the next election, but the timeframes have now “blown out”.

“It’s in the State Government’s hands,” he said.

Cr Gow said there was some information he believed locals needed first before making a decision on divisions, such as how many elected representatives we may have under a divisional system.

“It could mean a reduction in representation,” he said. Adjusting for population size could mean we lose numbers, and he believes this is “important information for the community to have”.

“That’s a process that needs to be gone through,” he said. “I think that kind of information needs to come out first.”

Cr Gow said it doesn’t bother him either way, and he’s happy to represent the community however they choose.

“However that election process takes place, that’s not up to councillors to make that decision. It’s up to the community to decide how and by who they want to be represented,” he said.

He said if the community wants divisions, they need to know what those might look like.

“It needs to be information-driven.”

Regarding portfolios, Cr Gow said it “doesn’t bother” him how the Council operates “provided the community is being represented”.

“Portfolios need to marry up with how the council organisation is structured,” he said.

He stated that their current system relies on committees, and “all councillors have at least enough knowledge to talk to anyone about any subject”. With this system, if Councillors don’t know the answer they can and will go and find it. Cr Gow said that portfolios can be restrictive in comparison. He also experienced the previous committee system and said there are a number of different ways to represent the community.

“The one we have at the moment does work,” he said. “Councillors do work on issues and get them solved.”

Cr Gow stated that with meetings twice a month, they don’t need the sub-committees and have a quicker turnaround. Mayor Vic Pennisi said he is going to be “guided by the people and what they want” when it comes to divisions. He said he’s heard many pros and

cons to divisions.

“There’s a thought out there that if I have a divisional Councillor all my problems will be solved,” he said. “That doesn’t necessarily ring true all the time.”

Mayor Pennisi stated that we live in a democracy and if the public wants to have that conversation he’s happy to be a part of it. He said that Council pursuing divisions was a much simpler process than it is, and it’s purely due to time constraints that it won’t happen in this term.

“Personally, it’s been talked about for a long time and I think it’s time we put it to bed.”

He said he will be happy to have that conversation with the community next term if he’s part of Council. Mayor Pennisi said while he’d previously been an advocate of portfolios, after his experience with them he’s reluctant to reintroduce them.

“When we tried them in the first term of Council, Councillors became too operational which meant that there was that conflict between strategic and operational.”

He said that at the moment, Councillors have a portfolio of sorts made up of the different committees and groups they represent Council on. “Is that not a portfolio?” he said.

Mayor Pennisi said there are plenty of ways to run a Council, and there will be pros and cons to every single system.

“What we have now allows you to stay at an arm’s length from the operational side of Council,” he said. “It reduces the risk of complaints.”

Given how concerned many Councillors are with complaints and who makes them, he said this is a good thing. “I don’t think portfolios enhance representation.”

Earlier this month, a Council spokesperson stated that the “Council has had a discussion on the issue of introducing divisions for the Southern Downs local government area”.

“Council has decided informally to defer this matter until after the 2024 local government quadrennial elections due to the complexity and timeframes involved in proposing a change of this nature.”

Divisions have been mentioned at the majority of Connecting with Council meetings in the last year, with locals in smaller communities vocal about their perceived lack of representation. Earlier this year, the Council committed to engaging with residents of the region’s villages to survey and consult with them about divisions, with an application deadline of March 2023. The Council spokesperson stated that “as a guide, the consultation for the introduction of divisions should provide evidence of engagement and support of at least 20 per cent of the affected community.”

“If the council elected in 2024 decides to progress the matter, the aim would be to undertake the community consultation and prepare a proposal for change for submission to the Minister before the end of calendar year 2026 to allow sufficient time for the independent Change Commission to decide the matter prior to the 2028 local government quadrennial elections.”

Crs Jo McNally and Sheryl Windle were contacted for comment but did not respond.

Meet the staff going the extra mile for patients Covering an area of around 90,000 square kilometres, Darling Downs Health helps patients from all corners of Southern Queensland.

But long-distance travel doesn’t come cheap for those needing care, which is where the Patient Travel Subsidy Scheme (PTSS) team steps in.

The scheme helps with travel and accommodation costs for patients who need to use specialist medical services that aren’t available in their local area.

District Travel Officer Samantha Brasher said she’s seen the demand for the service skyrocket.

“With the rising costs of living and petrol, I know many people are doing it tough,” Ms Brasher said.

“We are seeing an increase of around 100 new applications for PTSS each week.

That’s people who have never used the scheme before.”

“In the past month, our team has processed a phenomenal 7,000 claims for patients across the Darling Downs.”

But the record-breaking rise in demand also means a rise in reward for staff who know they’re making a difference.

“If the work my team does can help relieve stress and burden for our locals, in reaching their medical appointments, then every little task I do to support the team is well worth it,” Travel Services Manager, Suzanne Parker said.

“I am so proud to be a part of a team of caring and dedicated staff who can assist our locals with financial assistance in reaching their appointments, a small part of a very large journey that they are faced with.”

Early Settlers at the location.

Patient Travel Administration Officer Katrina Lacy also sees the impact of the scheme every day.

“It can be a very demanding role sometimes, but for the most part it’s extremely rewarding, especially when I can hear the relief and appreciation in the voices of the patients and their families because I have helped to make a difficult time a little easier for them.”

“Although I may not be on the frontline of the healthcare system, I know that I am still making a difference for these patients and their families, even if it is only a small difference,” Ms Lacy said.

Staff are asking the public to please be patient with them as they work hard, and sometimes on weekends, to process travel subsidies as quickly as possible.

If you live in a rural and remote area, and have to travel more than 50 km to a public hospital to access services that aren’t available to you locally, you may be eligible for the Patient Travel Subsidy Scheme.

High-speed traffic costly

By Emily-Rose Toohey Condamine River Road has been closed since November last year and residents are concerned about the environmental impacts constant high-speed traffic has had on the 14 Cambanora Gorge river crossings, which the road runs along.

Resident Justine Hankin said 500 fourwheel drives a day used to drive through the crossings, which has damaged the environment as a result.

“It’s a biodiversity hot spot and the crown jewel of the Murray-Darling system and the council doesn’t seem to be acknowledging it,” Justine said.

“It’s all being lost because the road is valued as a four-wheel drive track.”

She said the main problem was cars speeding through the crossings having never experienced driving on something like it before.

“Going more than 5km through a natural crossing is speeding,” she said.

“There’s sediment that is stirred up by the vehicle, oil is released from the underside of the vehicle, and thousands of number plates have been lost in the river,” she said.

“That sediment is taken down the river and it fills up the water holes - platypus, fish, turtles, and frogs are killed.

“Humans and wildlife drink it, farmers water crops with it, and everyone benefits from the river and is impacted by what happens here - it’s not just a problem for us.”

Janine said other impacts include pollution.

“We have Clean Up Australia Days here and pick up everything we see - people throw objects out of their cars,” she said.

“The most frustrating thing is the people who live here have to comply with strict environmental codes and we’re watching the river be destroyed.”

“We’ve got to get better at educating people about what’s in their own backyard.”

She said that Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) should be charged with this education and that residents who move to Condamine River Road should be aware they might get cut off.

“We pay our rates and we have very little impact on the road and crossings because we respect them and need them to access our properties,” she said.

“The damage has been an ongoing problem.

“Children have to be able to be here and learn about nature and make it accessible to people, following the environmental regulations - there’s also a cultural value.”

Despite numerous meetings and consultations with SDRC, Justine said they are not recognising it for the natural wonder it was.

A council spokesperson said that they are working closely with engineering contractors, DAF (Department of Agriculture and Fisheries) and local stakeholders to plan repairs for when the ground is dry enough to allow for heavy machinery to get onto the road and access river crossings.

“The 2022-23 Budget has $1.9m committed to the repair of the public road after it was closed in accordance with the Operating Procedure,” the spokesperson said.

Update from Days for Girls

By Days for Girls Allora and District Days for Girls Allora and district’s last gathering on 24 June saw the ladies undertaking a variety of tasks to get the components required for a possible trip to Griffith Uni for a packing day as part of the uni’s volunteer program.

On 20 July, two of the Allora and district DfG group gave a presentation to the Rose City chapter of the Probus group. Approximately 30+ Probus members attended. Heather Goonan from DfG gave a brief history of DfG internationally and in Australia and how long Allora and district group had been going and explained what is done each month. It was an attentive audience and there were completed kits for audience members to look through.

Members of the audience then asked a series of questions.

Also in June, executive members of the Allora and district DfG group did a trip to Tradways in Staplyton to replenish much-needed supplies of flannelette, thread and cotton materials.

The group also supplied some kits to the local ‘Share the Dignity’ group as part of an ongoing program to assist any women and girls in need, no matter where.

Allora and district DfG group would like to thank those people who have personally and/ or anonymously donated monetary funds to the group. It has been a problematic year with many functions being cancelled so all support is most welcome.

Winners of the Adventure board raffle were Dennis winning the Warwick Gliding Club, air

experience flight voucher and Alison C winning the Downs Explorer Railway trip and meal voucher. Thank you to all people who brought tickets in the raffle and a big thank you to the Warwick Gliding Club and Downs Explorer Railway.

As always the group is requesting donations of: new ladies knickers, small hotel style soaps, new face washers, new 100% cotton (nonstretch) material or monetary donations so please think of us, if you are doing a cupboard cleanout. Items can be dropped into Allora True Value Hardware store or Bryson’s Florist Warwick marked as Days for Girls. If dropping items in can you please text, phone or email contacts below so that we know to pick things 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 can also be dropped off at gathering times.

The next gathering is scheduled for Friday 29 July at 9 am at at 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.

CommBank Warwick backs community with donation Commonwealth Bank Warwick branch employees have donated $500 to the Warwick Gymnastics Club as part of a nationwide community donation program.

Commonwealth Bank is committed to driving positive change within the communities in which it serves to make a difference locally and for all Australians.

As part of this, the bank has again pledged to donate a further $400,000 nationally, to recognise those organisations that make a difference to the communities in which they operate.

Each Commonwealth Bank branch and customer-facing team has been allocated $500 to donate to causes important to their local community.

Commonwealth Bank’s Warwick branch team voted to support the great work of the Warwick Gymnastics Club.

Commonwealth Bank Warwick branch manager Leeanne James said after another challenging start to the year for many communities, this is one small way they can get behind local organisations who continue to do good work within the community.

“We are pleased to support the Warwick Gymnastics Club,” Leeanne said.

“The Club are going to use the donation to purchase much-needed new mats.

“After being flooded so many times, the old mats are mouldy and we were thrilled to be able to assist.”

Dam ticking along The Granite Belt Irrigation Project (GBIP) has issued a new statement, the first since they responded to potential funding earlier this year, stating that Emu Swamp Dam is continuing discussions with the State and Federal Governments.

The release stated that “customers of the scheme remain committed” to the project.

The 12,000 megalitre dam at Emu Swamp, southwest of Stanthorpe, and accompanying 126km of pipeline will reportedly deliver water to almost 50 agribusiness and community customers.

The release states that “the scale and design of the project will also bring wide-reaching social and economic benefits to the region, and state and national economies”.

GBIP also states that they are “funded by $23.4 million from local irrigators”.

GBIP’s operator, Granite Belt Water Limited, CEO, Lloyd Taylor, said while the project was still in the ‘pause’ period of the Go/Stop/ Pause milestone, it continues to work with the major stakeholders to progress the develop-

ment, with strong support from the irrigators involved.

“In order to deliver the project, we continue to work closely with both the Australian and Queensland governments in considering work done to date for this vital water infrastructure project and the pause is typical of projects of this size and complexity,” Mr Taylor said.

“Between the Southern Downs Regional Council (SRDC) and irrigators, the annual yield of the 3900ML scheme remains fully subscribed, and those stakeholders are committed to the development of the dam, as it offers a significant opportunity to bolster the water security of the region.

“The project will also generate a substantial number of jobs during construction, as well as long-term full-time positions in agriculture and supporting businesses, helping drive considerable productivity increases.”

In addition to the economic benefits to the region, the release stated that SRDC will be using its allocation to supplement the urban wa-

ter supply for Stanthorpe.

“SRDC is dedicated to the project as it offers an opportunity to secure high-reliable water for the community,” Mr Taylor said.

Mr Taylor confirmed that SunWater is also taking part in the decision point discussions and providing advice.

The release stated that GBIP is also currently liaising with the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads on the road access required for the project once in operation, and the extension of contracts with local landholders to March 2023.

“The local community remains at the heart of this project and we will always be as transparent as possible with the Southern Downs community while we deliver this truly transformational project,” Mr Taylor said.

Locals can stay up to date with the project through the Granite Belt Irrigation Project website or can speak directly with the GBIP team by visiting the Project Office at 3/35 Maryland Street, Stanthorpe.

Elective surgeries back on the table

By Dominique Tassell Elective surgeries have recommenced in local hospitals after pausing due to rising Covid-19 cases.

A Darling Downs Health (DDH) spokesperson stated that “we are currently experiencing significant demand for our services due to an increase of Covid-19 and Influenza cases in the community.”

“Our health workers are not immune to this current wave of infections which has also impacted our available workforce.

“To help cope with this demand, rural elective surgeries were temporarily postponed for two weeks.”

Warwick and Stanthorpe Hospitals were affected by the pause, but it is understood they have recommenced as of Monday 18 July.

The DDH spokesperson stated that “we’d like to thank Southern Downs residents for their understanding during this time as we work hard to keep our community safe and healthy”.

“Please be kind and patient with our staff, who have been contacting patients this week to reschedule their procedures.

“It’s also important to remember that despite an increased demand, our hospitals across the Darling Downs are open.

“We don’t want people to put off coming to the hospital for emergency care.

Goomburra road closure approved Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) approved the permanent road closure of Frees Road, Goomburra, at 13 July Council Meeting.

According to the report presented on the day, in June of this year views were sought from the Directorates of Council, which are as follows: Infrastructure Services provided no objection to the application for permanent road closure subject to consultation with adjoining landholders.

Planning and Development provided no objection to the application for permanent road closure subject to the amalgamation of the closed road reserve in with one of the adjoining parcels.

Finance, Assets and Special Projects provided no objection to the application for permanent road closure subject to consultation with adjoining landholders.

As a result, councillors wanted to make it clear that they did not object to the application. Staff recommended that Council advise the Department of Resources of such. The motion was moved

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

This week we’re highlighting LEO. Age: 3 years 3 months Adoption fee: $325 About This lovable larrikin is Leo, a male Bull Arab mix born on 15 April 2019.

We asked Leo’s foster mum to nominate his three top qualities and this is what she said: 1. Leo has a loving, kind and generous heart and would make a devoted companion or family pet.

2. He’s very playful and absolutely loves kids, but would be best suited to older kids that are able to cope with his size and energy.

3. He loves attention and turns into a big goofball when you give him pats and tummy scratches.

He’s very tactile and loves it when you hold his paw.

Leo is dog-friendly but likes to be the top dog.

He gets along well with all the other dogs at his foster home, but don’t ask him to share a food bowl.

True to his breed mix, he’s strong, active and high energy.

He will do best in the hands of a confident owner and in a home where he’s regarded as an integral member of the family.

Leo will need plenty of daily exercise and mental stimulation and the more space he has to run and play, the better.

He’s not suited to apartment living or fulltime workers.

Prior large breed experience will be well regarded.

Being such a people-focused dog, Leo will be more content in a home where someone is around most of the time and secure fencing is a must.

Leo. Leo is untested with cats and pocket pets.

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

His adoption fee is $325 and he is desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

He is available for interstate adoption.

For more information and enquiries, follow the link: petrescue.com.au/listings/915574

ABQ PLUMBING

Plumber has all you need

By Dominique Tassell Stanthorpe local Andrew Quirk started up his business ABQ Plumbing earlier this year and has well and truly hit the ground running.

Andrew had been away from Stanthorpe for a year, working in Birdsville and then Airlie Beach, joking he needed a bit of different scenery.

At 22 years old, he says starting up the business is something he always thought he would do.

ABQ Plumbing offers “basically everything” plumbing-wise.

Andrew said they offer general maintenance work but will also come out for emergency work.

“If I can drive there I’ll do it,” Andrew said.

The business is available for renovations and can work on bathroom upgrades, pumps, water tanks, and more.

“We do a bit of everything,” Andrew said.

To keep everything in one place for locals, ABQ Plumbing works with a builder.

Andrew said this means locals have everything there when they go to get a quote, and don’t have to shop around.

But Andrew said if locals have people they prefer he’s more than happy to work with them.

“I also work closely with a couple of other plumbers,” Andrew said.

“We can usually get stuff done quickly between us all.”

Andrew also offers earthworks and machinery.

ABQ Plumbing has access to a small excavator and bobcat they can use on jobs.

This means they can do their own work when required on jobs, such as creating water tank pads.

The bobcat and excavator are also available for any general earthworks.

Andrew said he’s been flat out since starting up the business.

“It didn’t take much to get the ball rolling,” he said.

You can contact Andrew by calling him on 0400 933 666, or by emailing him at abqplumbing0@gmail.com.

You can also find ABQ Plumbing on Instagram @ABQ.plumbing

Queensland Ballet tour to Southern Downs is en pointe!

The region’s aspiring dancers will have the opportunity to experience the magic of ballet from Australia’s best ballet teachers when Queensland Ballet visits the Southern Downs and hosts community classes on Sunday 7 August 2022.

Following the resounding success of the 2019 tour to the region, Council has once again collaborated with Queensland Ballet to share the experience of the physical, social and emotional benefits of dance.

Southern Downs Councillor Sheryl Windle is confident the local community will leap at the chance to experience the expertise of worldrenown ballet teachers.

“It is a pleasure to welcome Queensland Ballet to the region with their inspirational

workshops and I’m sure there will be some very excited participants eager to embrace this special opportunity,” Councillor Windle said.

“The classes will offer the region’s budding dancers the opportunity to learn tips and tricks of the craft from the country’s best ballet teachers.”

A Queensland Ballet spokesperson said Queensland Ballet has a strong commitment to creating accessible arts opportunities.

“Through specialised dance knowledge and experience working in diverse settings, our Education Teaching Artists bring their expertise to inform the creation and delivery of our community and education programs,” the spokesperson said.

Works for Queensland projects now complete Thanks to the Queensland Government’s Works for Queensland program, critical ageing infrastructure issues across the region have been addressed through a funding bucket of $2,870,000.

While a handful of projects received extension approval through to 30 June 2022 due to the impacts of flood and other unforeseen circumstances, all projects for the program’s period 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2021 are now complete.

Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi said that receiving funding from the Queensland and Federal Governments is essential to address the region’s ageing infrastructure problem.

“The single biggest issue facing Southern Downs is our lack of financial sustainability and consequently not having the capacity to fund our ageing infrastructure – and the two issues are intrinsically connected,”

Mayor Pennisi said.

“Southern Downs has nearly $1b worth of assets of which $500m are under the ground. We must focus the future on replacing and renewing assets, as well as provide infrastructure to make our communities livable and attractive.

“Southern Downs needs government investment in infrastructure that will boost the economy, keep our region moving forward and meet our community’s needs into the future.

“Receiving funds through the Works for Queensland program has enabled Council to deliver critical projects for our community that will improve overall liveability, provide safe and reliable places to conduct business and deliver improvements to community facilities.”

Visit sdrc.qld.gov.au of a full list of completed projects.

Date: Sunday 7 August 2022 • 1.00pm – 1.30pm QB Petit Pointers 2 – 5 years • 1.30pm – 2.30pm QB Ballet for Seniors 18 years + • 2.45pm – 3.45pm Community Class 6 – 11 years • 3.45pm – 4.45pm Community Class 12 – 17 years

Smart water technology to rollout soon The region’s long-term water security will soon be bolstered with the rollout of smart water meter technology to Stanthorpe properties on the town water supply from late August.

Southern Downs Councillor Stephen Tancred said the financial and operational benefits of smart meters to the region could not be understated and the new infrastructure would offer residents an additional tool to make informed choices towards sustainable water management.

“Council is addressing long-term water security through new innovative infrastructure and smart meters offer a multi-pronged approach to conserving water,” Councillor Tancred said.

“By digitally collecting, transmitting and analysing water-usage data, residents will have real-time access to data through an online portal to monitor and manage water more efficiently. Smart meters will help residents and Council get sharper and smarter about how we use and save water. This is a brilliant tool to help prepare for the next drought.

“Likewise leaky pipes are costly and through smart meters, we will have increased capacity to detect, identify and fix leaks fast to reduce water loss, associated costs, save water in our dams and potentially delay future water restrictions.

“Smart water technology is currently being used across Australia with significant consumer benefits and the installation of smart water meters on the Southern Downs ensures our region is keeping up-to-date with best practices.”

Council was awarded grant funding of $0.94M for the project under the Local Economic Recovery Program jointly funded by the Commonwealth and Queensland Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.

The grant was provided for the installation of smart metering technology in Stanthorpe in response to future climate and natural hazard conditions as the project strategically aligned with the Southern Downs Environmental Sustainability Strategy 2021-2031, specifically the Valuing Water priority.

Accessing Council information and services has just got easier! Council has unveiled a refreshed website that has been designed to improve connectivity and community engagement.

The new-look website aims to enhance the user experience and make it easier for residents and businesses to navigate the portal and find information quicker.

Council’s CEO Dave Burges said the website was updated to reflect the latest technology and best practice in web design and better meet the growing online needs of the community.

“Together with experienced web developers, our officers set out to refresh the site in a cost-effective way which capitalises on

best practice and industry knowledge,” Mr Burges said.

“We are living in an evolving and fastpaced world where changes can be instant and ongoing. The new website addresses the ever-present need to access the latest information and services in the most efficient way possible.

“Our customer service centres are still open for business and Council staff are happy to assist with in-person enquires, but along with our MySDRC App, the website now provides more options for doing business with Council.”

Visit www.sdrc.qld.gov.au to explore the refreshed site.

HARRY POTTER: HOGWARTS TOURNAMENT OF HOUSES 7Flix, Sunday, 6pm

WILDLIFE RESCUE AUSTRALIA 10, Saturday, 6.30pm

You never know what to expect in this heartwarming series. Featuring Dr Bree Talbot (pictured) and her trusty mobile vet hospital, the bubbly medico travels around the beautiful surrounds of Byron Bay and beyond to rescue native wildlife. Not only is it a celebration of nature and its diverse and colourful inhabitants, it’s an educational adventure into all the scrapes that creatures can get caught up in. This week, Willow the owlet-nightjar needs a gentle checkup after falling out of its nest. Bree and the team are also concerned about the gas in Sandy the eastern grey kangaroo joey’s stomach. Tune in for an up-close look at some of Australia’s cutest creatures.

The timing of this screening is a little behind, but Harry Potter fans won’t mind. If they haven’t already watched this four-part series on repeat – which concludes tonight – they’re in for a treat. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the movies, fans of the franchise compete to answer trivia questions about the meticulously detailed world. Dame Helen Mirren (pictured) hosts the entertaining spectacle in her first role as a quiz host. The Oscar winner plays her part with aplomb, admitting this role “was a great way to be able to participate in the whole extraordinary phenomena that is Harry Potter.”

JUST FOR LAUGHS AUSTRALIA 10, Monday, 9.30pm

David Wenham wraps up his stellar turn as interviewer in this enlightening series in which he chats with well-known Australian figures as they take a trip down memory lane, propelled by the riches of the ABC archives. Wenham concludes with a flourish tonight as he sits for a relaxed conversation with former prime minister John Howard.

The surprising and nostalgic look back includes footage of Howard campaigning for MP Tom Hughes in Sydney’s Campsie during the 1966 Federal Election, and his first day in parliament in 1974. In the forthcoming chat, Howard reflects on the ups and downs of his political career, from Port Arthur, to tax and his cherished morning walk.

Stand-up comedy is a rarity on free-to-air and shows that celebrate Australian comedians are even more few and far between. So it’s with a rambunctious round of applause that this local series returns for its eighth season tonight.

This year, the live recording of the show moved from the Sydney History repeating: Opera House to Melbourne’s Malthouse Theatre, giving rise to Former PM John some extra excitement from the crowd. The much-loved Judith Howard takes a walk Lucy (pictured) kicks off the laughs along with Logie Awarddown memory lane winner and Celebrity MasterChef standout Dilruk Jayasinha and for The ABC Of. storytelling songstress Michelle Brasier.

Performances full of soul

By Emily-Rose Toohey This year’s Jumpers and Jazz in July recruited The Voice Australia alumni Angela Fabian to perform at various events last week, wowing locals and tourists alike with her powerful vocals.

But before moving to Australia 17 years ago, Angela was born in the US and said she was raised singing in gospel choirs and performing at talent shows, before joining an allfemale band.

In a world where live music is just now making a comeback since the Covid-19 pandemic, Angela said she was excited to travel.

“During the lockdown, it was a bit depressing,” she said.

“I was in a rut and started getting used to shows getting cancelled, and didn’t think that music would get off its feet - I was so used to working a lot.”

Now she’s back performing in front of live audiences like Warwick, which included two nights at St Mary’s Community Hall and a stint outside the Town Hall stage on the weekend.

But before taking the town by storm, Angela had her big break as a contestant on season nine of The Voice Australia in 2020, which she said was an enjoyable experience where she met good people.

“I wasn’t big on the show but said that I’d wait and audition when I turned 50, so I did,” she said.

“But due to the shutdown, it was more difficult to capitalise off the show.”

In terms of performing, Angela said she

didn’t care whether she was singing for one or hundreds of people.

“As long as my gift touches people and makes them happy,” she said.

She successfully accomplished this last week, singing soul ballads and jazz tunes from icons like Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding for festival-goers.

“It (Jumpers and Jazz) was such a good

gig,” Angela said.

“I heard about it years ago from some of my followers and was approached to do it last year.”

But what’s next for Angela?

She’s collaborating with a few other musos and working on different music - a second album.

“It’ll be more covers,” she said.

“Now that everybody in the industry’s rolling it’s hard for me to be buckled down.

“I haven’t travelled for ages and I love it, it’s a lot of fun for me now.”

You can follow Angela on her Instagram (angela.fabian_) and for more Jumpers and Jazz in July performances, be sure to head down to Palmerin Street this weekend for the 2022 festival’s last hurrah.

Big thread in the festival

By Emily-Rose Toohey For this year’s Jumpers and Jazz in July, Warwick Spinners and Weavers have been holding a pop-up shop at St Mark’s Anglican Church every day, but that’s not the limit of the group’s festival involvement.

Dawn Booth, who’s been a member of the Spinners and Weavers for 48 years (the group was established 50 years ago) is responsible for creating the beanie and scarf that adorns the T.J. Byrnes Statue on Palmerin Street. Dawn said she first became involved in 2005 (the festival’s second year) after a Warwick Art Gallery representative approached the Spinners and Weavers to undertake the task, so she volunteered.

“I do enjoy doing it every year - sometimes I knit, sometimes I crochet,” she said.

“Last year I made a poncho.”

However, this year’s beanie and scarf are purposefully maroon, representing the Queensland State of Origin team who visited Warwick earlier this month.

Dawn said this colour was a special request, but she has free rein during the creation process.

“I pick up a bag of yarn from the art gallery and then decide what to do,” she said “I especially enjoy it when I can make it very colourful.”

The Warwick Spinner and Weavers Group pop-up shop is open from 9am to 4pm each day until Sunday 31 July, marking Jumpers and Jazz in July’s end for 2022.

A variety of handmade, cozy items are available for purchase at the shop’s St Mark’s location, so follow the signs - they’ll lead you right to it.

Marist College joins the fun

Queensland Conservatorium and the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB). With his wealth of experience, Dr Butt is an asset to Marist College Ashgrove and develops programs that inspire students to excel in the Arts beyond the school gates.

Marist has recently unveiled a new recording studio that will enable students to produce work to a standard beyond that of a typical

high school student. Dr Butt hopes that this new recording studio will also allow students to produce work from a variety of cultures including indigenous, rural and urban. The addition of the recording studio forms part of Marist’s commitment to adapt to changing technologies and platforms in order to benefit the future careers of their students. Marist College Ashgrove students have composed music that has over 600 million streams on Spotify

12554274-AI29-22

The Marist College Ashgrove Big Band is visiting Jumpers and Jazz in July on Saturday 31st July for a full set of jazz and swing in Leslie Park.

A Catholic boys’ boarding and day school located in Brisbane’s inner north, Marist College Ashgrove is at the forefront of music education with a nationally recognised program, and students regularly participating in performances, competitions and international tours.

The College’s educators and state-of-the-art facilities have produced artists who have gone on to garner local and international acclaim in their chosen genre.

Marist College Ashgrove understands the value of education in enabling our students to become knowledgeable, creative, thoughtful and morally responsible young men who engage actively as citizens of the world. “Music is a vital part of the holistic education Marist provides for each boy in its care along with academic, sport, social and spiritual education,” Head of College, Mr Michael Newman said.

The Marist Big Band is led by Director of Music, Dr Andrew Butt, an esteemed musician and educator who has taught at Marist College Ashgrove for over 30 years. Under Dr Butt’s leadership and guidance, the Marist music program has grown from forty students to over six hundred students making it one of the largest cohorts of classroom music in Queensland.

Dr Butt is widely recognised as a leader in the music field being awarded a Churchill Fellowship, a PhD in Music Performance from the University of Queensland, a Queensland Music Award and a Special Commendation Award at the Australian Society of Music Educators.

Dr Butt also sits on the Advisory Board of the

proving that the music program yields successful results and inspired artists.

Dr Butt believes that lifelong learning and the ability to create and adapt are some of the key benefits of the must program at Marist.

Visit Dr Andrew Butt and the Marist College Ashgrove Big Band for the last day of Jumpers and Jazz in July to see the boys in action and learn more about why Marist College Ashgrove are leaders in music education.

Living an independent lifestyle with Oak Tree Today’s over-60s demographic is very different to the retirees of years gone by. As a generation that’s reset the history books and changed the rules each step of the way, it’s no wonder that this is also filtering into post-work lifestyles.

Historically, retirement has been thought of as a time of decline, yet for today’s 60-pluses, that could not be further from the truth.

the time they’ve worked so hard for throughout their lives. It’s this mindset that is driving an increasing number of seniors to downsize.

Seniors today are far more active at this age than generations before, and therefore they’re putting a greater emphasis on retirement options that support a more physical and social lifestyle. They’re also making the most of their freedom: freedom of choice, financial freedom, and freedom to enjoy

Downsizing – often referred to as “right-sizing” – is about so much more than just moving to a smaller, more manageable home. It’s about choosing a home and a lifestyle that suits your needs now and into the future.

At Oak Tree, our lower maintenance lifestyle offering means we take away

the hassles that come with maintaining a large family home so you can continue to do what you love, and much more.

Many of our residents since downsizing, have the newfound freedom, time, and funds to do more of what enriches their retirement – travel, hobbies, or spending quality time with family and friends.

Enrich your retirement at Oak Tree Warwick, call 1300 367 155, or go to oaktreegroup.com.au to find out more.

Rural Links Dairy farming fading

By Dominique Tassell Dairy farmers are finishing up production in droves, with two locals finishing up this month. Ian Brown finished up on 5 July, but still has a few young ones left.

He says we’ll be drinking milk from down south soon, with half a dozen closures in Gympie recently.

The number of dairy farms in Queensland is falling fast, he says, and some smaller dairies might be closing without anyone hearing about it. Ian says a number of factors have contributed to his farm’s closure.

The weather has been “absolutely disgraceful,” he says.

“We’ve had 20-something inches in six months of this year,” he says.

“Which is more rain than we get a lot of years on average.”

The cost of everything has gone up, including fuel, seed, and spray.

Ian says they had a huge store of feed last year, but have “blown through it”.

“We’re meant to be storing for a drought, not floods and wet weather.”

He says the wet season is “going to hurt a lot of things”. Ian says their cows were better off during the drought.

“We spent a lot but we were better off.”

While the cost of milk is going up, Ian says it’s “just far too late”.

“If we’d been paid better for milk we’d have been better off,” he says. “We’ve been done over for years on milk price.”

The combination of the drought and current wet season was too much, Ian says.

“To come out of a drought and get this wet season,” he says. “We’re running our heads up against a brick wall.”

“We were all dedicated and doing a good job, but it’s just gone backwards for the past 16 to 18 months”.

Ian finished up his contract in time to close and said he left on a good note.

“The dairy is still fully operable,” he said.

“We’ll see what happens in the next year or two.”

Bill Lester is selling off the majority of his herd of St Andrews Illawarras this Thursday.

“A problem I guess is that we’re getting a bit old,” he says. “Dairy farming is a job for a family.”

He says that with the amount of work the flooding brought in, he and his wife decided that they wouldn’t continue dairy farming.

His family has been breeding cows for 106 years. Bill says he will keep on farming, but is looking forward to a bit of a rest.

“My wife would like to go travelling,” he says.

Poultry sales not paltry

By Emily-Rose Toohey

Phil Christensen, his daughter Nicole and her son Jack, and his son Jason.

Their property will continue in the family and it should take about two years to wind down from producing dairy.

The sale will be held on the Lester’s Glengallan property from 11 am.

Phil Christensen isn’t going anywhere but says there will be more closures in future.

“The trouble is can’t get the young ones in,” he says. “It’s a responsibility seven days a week.”

“You have to keep an eye on quality or you lose huge amounts of income.”

He says it’s also hard for young people to come in because of the cost involved.

Phil says many young people don’t want to take over the responsibility of running the whole thing.

“I’m expecting a lot to give it up in the next three or four years.”

All three farmers emphasise the skills required by staff on a dairy farm and the lack of funds available to pay them what they deserve.

“We do biosecurity, quality assurance, everything,” says Ian. He says it’s hard to get anyone willing to put in the work the job requires.

“You’ve got to be 24/7 when you’re calving cows,” he said. “You’ve got to do it to understand how dedicated a dairy farmer is.”

Bill says the labour simply isn’t available.

He says supermarkets dominate the dairy market and make it very hard for farmers.

“They have devalued the industry,” he says.

“As a result families have left.”

“We aren’t growing or training young people to take it over.

“It’s left us with nowhere to go.”

Phil says price has been an issue for years, and for people born into it “it’s in our blood so we put up with it” but newcomers may not.

“For us to have a better lifestyle it needs to be a dollar a litre,” he says.

Phil says he goes on holidays every few years, but to have people who he can trust to look after the dairy when he’s not there they need to pay them well.

“People who work here need to be on over $30 an hour,” he says. “You have to pay for quality people.”

He says if people could take their weekends off, and pay people to look after the dairy, more people might be attracted to the industry.

But weekend rates cost more, and wages are expensive enough as is. It’s very skilled labour, Phil says.

“You have to be a vet, a nutritionist, and a mechanic to fix problems on the farm.”

“You have to be everything, and do as much as you can.”

Phil says while it’s a big commitment running a dairy, it can be a good lifestyle for families.

“You’re still with your family even when you’re working long days,” he says.

Phil says there are about 280 dairy farms left in Queensland, and three left in Freestone still supplying milk.

“There used to be about 13 in Freestone,” he says.

“I probably wouldn’t be here but I’m a stubborn old fella,” he says. “I won’t give it up.”

“I’ll always find a way.”

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, poultry sellers have observed an increased interest in locals buying from them, particularly chickens. On a Sunday once a month, the Stanthorpe markets occur and so do poultry sales, which sellers Stephen and Jayne Martin participated in over the weekend. The couple are part of the Stanthorpe Poultry Club and Stephen said a lot of people have been coming in to purchase chickens.

“There’s a lot more smaller landholders who want their own poultry, either as pets or so they can have their own fresh eggs,” he said.

With the prospect of lockdowns over the past two years, Stephen said that having access to a food source like eggs was likely encouraging more people.

Furthermore, Jayne said the sale was a good community thing for people to do.

“They come together, meet a lot of people, and ask a lot of questions,” she said.

“It’s also a chance to see breeds that they probably wouldn’t know.”

The couple, who have been living in Stanthorpe for the past 16 months, said Sunday (the most recent sale) was a busy day.

“The public know about it through Facebook, and we sell the chickens between $10 and $30 - not too expensive,” they said.

“There’s people there selling or swapping not only chickens but ducks, caged birds, budgies, parrots, canaries, and guineafowls.”

SUPPLIERS OF THE FOLLOWING

WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

By Judy Barnet, Ag Columnist The week came and went in a blur. I am feeling much better, although still a little tired.

Sunday saw the arrival of Tom and Lottie, just in time to meet our terrific sheep vet Mike Rival as he finished testing our rams for the Brucellosis Accreditation Scheme. Mike is great at his job – there is no fuss and the job is done in no time. The rams testicles are palpated and checked for lumps (a sign of ovine brucellosis) and then blood samples are drawn from each ram and sent away for testing. If you or I tried to find a vein and draw blood from the woolly neck of a ram, I guarantee we wouldn’t succeed but Mike is somehow able to find it within a few seconds and hey presto, the job is done. Ovine brucellosis is carried by rams and causes fertility issues in flocks. Interestingly, the disease is more prevalent in meat breeds than Merinos. I am not sure why this is so. Studs are not allowed to sell rams unless their flock is accredited brucellosis free. Testing is done yearly although after three years you get a free year where you don’t have to test.

After Mike left we drenched the sheep and took the rams back up to their paddock. Tom and Lottie took Dora down to the dam and they went kayaking. There have been over a dozen swans hanging around our end of the dam for a while now. Of course they are always close when I don’t have the camera handy!

Through the week whilst we were at work, Tom and Lottie got to work cleaning out Kermit the bus, including the rooftop, which we weren’t looking forward to doing. We were delighted and grateful that they did this for us.

Of course life is never all beer and skittles.

On Wednesday Richie and I had the day off to be on hand when our favourite builder, Craig, came over to replace a few rotten boards on the cottage verandah. The news was not good.

Not only were the boards rotten, so too were the joists, and the whole thing had to be pulled up. Now it is a bit of a waiting game for the timber to be milled and for Craig to slot us in again. The verandah is one of the most endearing parts of the cottage so hopefully it will only be a few weeks. I have had to notify upcoming guests of the issue but better now than summer! The same day we also had our good friends out from Blitz Electrical to do some work. They had all met Tom and Lottie previously so we had a good day, if you don’t count the big shock of the verandah!

Richie did some work over at another farm this week and was offered an old Land Rover he couldn’t turn down. The owner said the Landie was a Bugeye and I thought this was a good name as his two popping out headlights looked, well, bug eye like. Upon sighting Bugeye, I immediately claimed him as my own.

Luckily I had a bit of cash that I handed over to Richie to pay for Bugeye and seal the deal. He’s a bit noisy but oozes character and I thought would be ideal for showing guests around the farm. Bugeye has had a few alterations in his day and I suspect it would take quite a lot of money to restore him but he is perfectly serviceable as he is for now.

The Mingoola auction finished on Monday and I was outbid on most items except some rather old, large and heavy concrete troughs.

I thought I had brought three long broken troughs but when we got them home it turns out they joined together to be one massive long water trough. The other two troughs were big rectangular ones. The LandCruiser could only just carry one so I suspect they were over a ton each. Of course, this did not fare well for unloading them, or for my nerves, as dear Richie tried to lift them off with the old worn out Massey backhoe. We not so long ago replaced the power steering hydraulic hoses at some expense but I guess I had not taken a lot of notice when Richie mentioned there were other things to fix. It was only when Richie brought the mighty machine down to lift off the concrete troughs that I realised how much work it needed. To say it was peeing hydraulic oil from every possible place from front to back would be an understatement. The mighty old machine was able to lift and drag the long troughs off without too many problems but it

Bugeye the Landrover, Tom and Lottie. couldn’t hardly budge the big rectangle ones, the walls of which were nearly a foot wide. In the end the Massey lifted one end and I put some roller logs under it and we repeated the process with the other end. Finally, an hour later, the two troughs were on the ground. I can’t help but wonder how we will ever lift them to put them in place to actually use them one day. Apparently, the six tonne telehandler made easy work lifting them on at Mingoola but I can’t imagine our budget will ever extend to one of those. When all is said and done though, they are lovely old troughs with a lot of character – well I guess about as much character as a concrete trough can have. By golly though, they sure did make things to last when they manufactured these many many years ago.

Do you remember the Merinos that agent Ross brought for me a few weeks ago? I am delighted to say that at least two must have already been in lamb as we have two single Merino lambs in the little flock now. I thought I might take these ewes and lambs to Jumpers and Jazz but, alas, I know they will be near impossible to round up from where they are located. There are seven kids now and I suspect there may have been more, but it is likely eagles, cats and foxes would have got some for sure. We also lost one of our best milkers. We have wormed the goats but still they are not looking the best as the dreaded Barber’s pole worm strikes again.

The chooks are all starting to lay again, as well as last years pullets. It is a bit early for broody hens but if you get some in August, or have an incubator, it is the ideal time to start hatching. The pullets hatched early will be next winter’s layers, ensuring you a continuous supply of eggs. We haven’t had to buy eggs for many years now by following the practice of hatching out some early chickens.

Part of the Rare Breeds Trust’s job is to gather the numbers of livestock breeds for the FAO (United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation) and to this end I have been gathering the sheep numbers. I was given a list of breeds I had missed, of which there were some I had never heard of. Amongst these was the Booroola Merino, Camden, Camden Park, Coolalee, Cormo, Glenvale, Karakul and Romsworth (I imagine this would be a Romeny x Polworth).

A quick web search found that some of these were breeds developed in Australia but I am presuming are now extinct. Australia did a lot of research and development in the 1950s to 1980s. Sadly though, I think all that has come to an end with lack of government support. I did, though, find a final report written by the MLA in 2002 that lists some of these breeds and their introduction to Australia and it is quite interesting reading. If you would like to view it just search ‘MLA Final Report Geoff Duddy.’ I would also be interested to hear from any readers that have information on the above breeds.

Tomorrow is shearing and next week is Jumpers and Jazz, so I look forward to catching up with readers there. If you are passing by, pop in and say hello. The Rare Breeds Trust display will be near the park.

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

Reasonable numbers were yarded for the main cattle and lamb markets this week with a fall across all sectors as the buyer resistance starts to build.

The good fresh specialty types were still commanding a reasonable return for the vendors. The subjective categories saw the biggest fall across the sales.

some good trade and feed on lambs available.

The main numbers showed up in the light and seasonally affected types.

This combined with some light mutton and fewer buyers saw the market slide considerably.

Lambs topped at $191 to average $144.17 ($16down), hoggets topped at $172 to average $132.04 ($1up), ewes topped at $160 to average $72.23 ($41down), wethers topped at $154 to average $140.42 ($12down), rams topped at $132 to average $112.33 ($40down), lamb rams topped at $169 to average $132.55 ($6down), ewe lambs topped at $174 to average $161.04($12down).

Divisions The subject of divisions has been long requested by voters here and ignored.

Once again, it has been shuffled to the back burner.

Had the process been attended to in a more timely fashion, it could long ago have been implemented, Now the bureaucratic explanation of how complicated it all is has been trotted out yet again, just as it has by a succession of administrators.

Reminiscent of Sir Humphrey in “Yes, Prime Minister”, and just as plausible.

Dick Howard, Swan Creek

Road to nowhere?

The Cambanora Gorge was originally named Cambanora Gap (mountain pass) in the 1850’s by the early settlers (see picture below).

Cambanora is an aboriginal word meaning “peaceful camping ground” or “nest”. Prior to European settlement, it has been suggested that aboriginal clans, including the Githabul people, who lived on the five tributaries feeding into the Condamine River, would travel up river and meet here. But please don’t quote me, I have found it difficult to find out information on the Aboriginal history of the area, if any local Aboriginal people can shed anymore light on this history, it would be appreciated.

Prior to European settlement the Gorge was heavily timbered with huge trees including Pine, Silky Oak, Red Cedar etc. The age and diversity of species must have been amazing to see, the Gorge would have been a veritable Garden of Eden of plants and animals. From the 1850’s to the 1950’s the Gorge was heavily logged, a logging track was established (now Condamine River Road), timber mills were set up, and the bullock teams would cart timber out of the Gorge. The timber industry, along with agriculture, fuelled an economic boom for the area. Once the Gorge and The Head were cleared, the land was used for cattle grazing. Over the past 70 years, the land and slopes have re-vegetated, with Eucalypts replacing most of the original tree species. The Gorge is now mostly a mono-culture of Eucalypt forest. Residents, in conjunction with Killarney Bushcare, have been working to reintroduce original species into the Gorge over the past 20 years.

It is unknown who the beneficiary of the original land grant/purchase of the Cambanora Gorge was, but it is known that it was originally all one parcel of land, which was then subdivided into multiple lots and sold off to various individuals from the 1970’s onwards.

I would think that the original logging track would have been turned into a designated road at this time also, to service the newly created lots, becoming Condamine River Road.

Locals have been coming to the Gorge for recreation for generations. From the 1970’s onwards the land remained unfenced and owners were mostly absent. Just like the First Nations people were drawn to this beautiful abundant place, so too are white fellas, albeit for entirely different reasons. “Lawless” is how one long term resident described the Gorge to me when I first raised my concerns five years ago.

By 2019 the Condamine River Road through

Cambanora Gorge was “the busiest dirt road in the Queensland”. We know this because traffic counters were put on the road and we have the data.

Over 500 vehicles per day were recorded over the Easter long weekend of 2018 and 2018.

Averaging 500 4WDs per day over four days smashing through 14 river crossings at the Headwaters of the Murray Darling system. Human excrement and toilet paper spread from one end of the Gorge to the other. Plastic and glass bottles thrown from moving vehicles into the scrub where no-one can see it. Used nappies, plastic and broken bottles left at picnic spots. People driving their 4WD up the middle of the river from crossing to crossing instead of using the road. Soft river banks where platypus burrow driven over and crushed. Driving through mud over and over (mudding) destroying riverbank vegetation that actually holds the banks together, resulting in erosion and depletion of the very places where people can picnic. Speeding hoons running walkers, cyclists and children off the road and out of the crossings, with a number of near misses. Walkers and cyclists can’t use the road and children can’t play in the crossings safely except on one measly day per year, Waddle Peddle Saddle day, they get one day a year to experience the Gorge in the best way possible - on horseback, hiking and mountain biking……one day a year is not good enough. The rest of the time the 4WDS, that get bigger and angrier each day, dominate the place like they own it. Lets not mention the trespassing, abuse, threats and attitude of entitlement displayed by visitors to the gorge against residents, who often have to rescue these very same people, who have driven into the flooded river with their children in the car, and can’t call for help because there is no phone reception.

Yes, lawless, is a very good word to describe what has been going on here. Imagine 500 angry (mostly) men in huge angry 4WD’s, jostling

for space and right of way on a single lane dirt road, driving through fences, driving into and up the river, mudding, hooning, leaving their excrement, nappies and rubbish up and down the Gorge, and then leaving. This is a picture of what life was life in the Gorge, on your average weekend, when Condamine River Road was “the busiest dirt road in Queensland”. Far from the “Cambanora” or peaceful camping ground that the Gorge was originally known as.

People with vested interests will say all sorts of things to make sure their interests are met.

The Gorge has given and given and given to this community since European settlement, and yet some people still think they can continue to exploit the Gorge for their own interests, regardless of what that does to the place itself. Tourism comes with a cost and a benefit.

The cost of this tourism is firstly to the Gorge itself, the river and ecosystem pay a heavy price, then it costs residents who pick up the garbage, restore, regenerate and save tourists lives at our own time and expense, then the ratepayers of Southern Downs themselves pay the cost by constantly paying for roadworks to fix the road after it is trashed by thousands of 4WDs. The benefit of this tourism goes to a handful of people who own businesses in the area, and to the tourists themselves, both businesses and tourists get the benefit but pay nothing towards the cost, and furthermore, don’t seem to care one bit about the cost or the impact they are having.

This amount of high impact tourism is unsustainable, with or without concrete crossings. The impact of tens of thousands of 4WD tourists on a dirt road, with a river running through it, should be obvious to everyone, but sometimes it is easier just to ignore it and pretend the money you are making isn’t at the cost of an entire ecosystem. I guarantee that if this was happening on your road, if you have seen what we have seen, you would say something. If you found trespassers on your prop-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

erty and you asked them to leave and they said to you “get out of here, what the f### are you doing here anyway, this is national park” while you were standing on your own property, you would have something to say about it.

Reports done in 2012 including Environmental, Biodiversity and Cultural Heritage confirm that the Cambanora Gorge and the Upper Condamine are the “Jewel in the Crown” of the overall Murray Darling System.

It is home to over 14 threatened and endangers species and growing. If anyone thinks that this road should become the “busiest dirt road in Qld” again, then I am sorry, but you need your head read. And if you want to hate, intimidate or threaten me for calling for a sustainable solution that finally respects and honours this amazing place and ensures that it is here for your children, well you go right ahead. You (“stakeholders” whoever you are) keep pushing your interest and I will keep defending the interests of this place. This is not a “road to nowhere” - Cambanora Gorge is a place with so much indigenous and European history, is the start of the longest river system in Australia, it is an area of outstanding natural beauty, it is a rare refuge for plants and animals in a world where habitats are disappearing at a terrifying rate (see State of the Environment report), when are we going to start understanding what it is and when are we going to start respecting it for what it is?

I live in hope that even the most hardened red neck hoon sees the beauty here and gets some benefit from nature, even when they are speeding through the crossings at 80km/hr.

I would say to those people, slow down, stop and soak up nature, take a look around instead of speeding through, take a deep breath, it will do you good even if you don’t realise it. Leave no trace.

Justine Hankin, Cambanora Gorge

Fair-dinkum, real and true lack of representation It was very disheartening and depressing to read your article last week “Divisions are off the table” which shows this council is going to dither until 2028 to restore true democracy for the people of our region.

When an issue arises, you shouldn’t have to go to all nine councillors for support, only to be told by the CEO that they are not allowed to be involved in operational matters.

That is not a “perceived” lack of representation. That is actual fair-dinkum, real and true lack of representation.

And it is not just people in smaller communities who are affected.

It is all of us.

As Warwick resident Ryan James pointed out in his letter last week “Problems at council bigger than complaints” he is “continuously appalled by the lack of response/communication from council and in turn the lack of action taken by Councillors”.

That’s because the nine of them are not directly accountable to any of us, no matter whether we live in town or in rural areas.

We should not have to wait until 2028 to fix this.

Notes from Bridge Club

By Neil Bonnell, Warwick Bridge Club The leaders at the halfway mark of the Handicap Championship are Ros Hart/Nea McGinness (N/S) and Tony Hinde/Neil Bonnell (E/W). Both pairs did well on Board 8 (above).

Ros and Nea scored an outright top by doubling their East/West opponents who raised the bidding to 4H and failed by one tricks.

One other E/W pair reached 4H and also failed but escaped being doubled. Sitting East, after two passes, I opened 1H to give us more bidding space than a pre-emptive 3H would have.

South doubled, showing at least an opening hand and not many hearts. Over Tony’s 1S response and North’s pass I bid 2H, which became the final modest contract. North/South duly took their four tricks: Two top diamonds and a ruff, followed by the Ace of clubs. Plus 140 looked like a common score, but overbid-

ding by other East/West pairs turned it into a shared top.

All pairs made the number of tricks predicted by the computer, with one exception. Despite having only half the honour cards in the pack, any East/West pair who bid 3NT would have made nine tricks for 400 points and an absolute top. North/South could still win three diamonds and the Ace of clubs, but would then have to surrender the lead whatever suit was led. Declarer could then cash the Ace and King of spades and run the hearts for the remaining tricks needed.

Results: Monday, 17/0722 (6-table Mitchell): N/S N. Collins M. Simpson (65.0) 1; R. Hart N. McGinness (62.3) 2; J. Nankervis P. Kelly (54.3) 3. E/W N. Bonnell T. Hinde (65.3) 1; J. Rose D. Moran (59.0) 2; S. Head L. James (49.8) 3. Handicap Championship: N/S R.

Nea McGinness and Ros Hart are well placed after Round 1 of the Handicap Championship.

“The traffic regulations are a farce - ‘keep to the left’ is observed when drivers think of it, but the majority appear to be very absentminded.

“The main street is very often taken as a racing ground for motorists and others. I don’t think it was constructed for this purpose but seeing that this racing is allowed, one would think it was.”

The price is continually soaring, stocks are short and it is only a matter of time before kerosene is unprocurable.

In view of this, a projected company applied for an order in Council to supply electric light and power to Stanthorpe.

State Government after shelving the matter for a few months, refused to grant the right, no reasons given.

By Dominique Tassell It’s the new movie everyone is criticising online, and is it for good reason?

Persuasion dropped on Netflix on 15 July, but even before its release Austen fans online were gearing up for a rant.

From the moment the trailer dropped it was clear there were some issues. Namely, the ‘fleabagification’ of Jane Austen.

But really, Persuasion’s problem is it’s just trying to do far too much.

Anne Elliot’s fleabag-esque quips to camera throughout the movie should have been contrasted with a very quiet persona in her interactions with others, like her personality in the novel, but this distinction isn’t made.

Anne is the most self-contained of all the Austen protagonists, so the fourth wall breaks are actually a good idea for portraying her. But a combination of Dakota Johnson’s delivery and the writing and direction let this down.

Throughout the movie, I couldn’t decide if the creative team were trying to make a comedy or an emotional drama. But they ended up failing at both.

The jokes don’t quite land, and I wanted to actually leave the room when Johnson delivered the playlist line.

Persuasion just isn’t the Austen novel you choose to turn into a comedy.

As a novel, it’s devastating. It’s a woman’s journey of learning she’s allowed to have feelings and go after what she wants. Is that really funny?

The best part of the movie is the part truest to the novel and that’s Wentworth’s letter.

“I’m half agony half hope” will always absolutely ravage my soul. But even then, I don’t know if a non-Austen fan would be moved by it in this film?

I get wanting to introduce a new group to Austen, but is it effective when you completely warp the source material in the process? Does

The new Persuasion movie has been heavily criticised.

Picture: INSTAGRAM the narrative have as much payoff and impact?

Clueless adapting Emma and 10 Things I Hate About You adapting The Taming of the Shrew are examples of adapting classics into modern films that were perfectly done.

And I get Persuasion wanted to be a middle ground where it’s still a period piece, but it just gets so muddied along the way because it doesn’t know what it is.

For a comedy, like this film seemed to want to be, Pride and Prejudice and Emma lend themselves to comedy far more easily.

We’re even due for a Pride and Prejudice adaptation; we haven’t had one since 2005!

At the end of the day, I really do think that making the classics accessible isn’t the evil some are making it out to be. The movie isn’t the worst thing I’ve ever seen, but they chose the wrong novel and executed their ideas poorly.

Modernising and simplifying the language wouldn’t be so bad but the problem with Persuasion is that it doesn’t just modernise the language, it erases everything but the main plot points and calls it a day.

Some of the tik toks mocking the movie’s dialogue are genuinely funny, and now I kind of want a movie where they execute that better.

What I really want more of, though, is Henry Golding in period pieces. That man is so darn pretty I can’t stand it.

When Generation Z and Millenials on the younger side reflect upon their childhood and the media they consumed, Disney Channel programming is likely one of the first things that comes to mind.

One of the most popular and quite frankly, iconic Disney Channel exports is High School Musical.

The first film dropped in 2006 and was followed by two sequels that were released in 2007 and 2008 respectively.

The franchise became so popular and the songs and actors so beloved, that the third and final instalment (High School Musical 3: Senior Year) was given a proper theatrical release.

Hannah Montana The Movie (2009) was the only other Disney Channel Original Movie to be given a cinema release, which is extremely telling.

But the question remains: does High School Musical hold up looking back on the franchise years later?

From a critical perspective, which seems very unfair for any content produced by Disney Channel, the production design is impeccable.

The colourful sequences, impeccable choreography, and catchy music are very impressive looking back, which I don’t think we appreciated enough as younger viewers.

Even the acting wasn’t completely terrible, especially by Disney Channel standards.

Aside from these clear-cut facts, the overall product is most definitely viewed through a biased lens by most people below the age of 30.

Any flaw or overwhelming cheesiness is

High School Musical (2006) cast.

Picture: INSTAGRAM easily ignored due to one thing: nostalgia.

The sheer joy that High School Musical instils in viewers who grew up with the franchise is infectious and even more present, and Disney Channel knows it.

A three-season Disney+ spin-off show with new characters titled High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (possibly the worst-named series in history) premiered in 2019 and interest in the original film’s core stars (mostly Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens who played Troy and Gabriella) positioned them in an interesting place in pop culture.

A real-life example of the franchise’s power is as follows: from my own high school experience, at the end of each school year when the year 12 cohort said their goodbyes, consistently, without fail, every school captain made reference to High School Musical in their final speeches.

This is a franchise that shaped and was watched by a whole generation of people and is infused with powerful nostalgia, despite its perhaps questionable quality what will be the staple show/franchise for the next generation?

I had unlimited acreage and finance and full time gardeners to help with the upkeep!

Despite the severity of the frosts my lawn is still growing and is in need of cutting again. I am going to endeavour to do this myself this week sometime before my brother arrives and is horrified by it! Windows are also going to be done this week for the same reason!!

Another plant that is providing colour at this time is the trumpet vine and my small one on the back fence is flowering nicely. I had it in a pot until last summer and it has appreciated the move into the ground and progressed nicely up the mesh provided and is flowering for the first time. I am aware that it can become a problem and aim to keep it pruned back and contained. My memories are of seeing it in glorious bloom covering old dairy sheds on the north coast of N.S.W. Of course, we also have the beauty of camellias flowering now and they do look beautiful in all the beautiful shades from white through pale pink to lovely reds..sasanquas and japonicas alike are really lovely to see.

The Camellia sasanqua varieties appear to be the hardiest and the fastest growing, are more sun tolerant, can handle heat and humidity better but are also fine in heavy shade.

They make a great hedge and will establish reasonably quickly. However, I have memories of a very large camellia “tree” about 15 feet high covered in the palest pink flowers that entranced me as a child. It was definitely a japonica and it will always remain a favourite.

A honey bush.

12400545-LB38-19

cal/jungle garden further north.

Apparently, it has spectacular, highly perfumed and nectar-filled large spikes of red to brown flowers in spring and summer, hence the common name “honey bush”! These sprays of flowers, up to about 80 cm in length, stand well above the bush itself and make a great statement. Another common name is “touchme-not” and this may be because, when you crush the leaves, they give off an unpleasant odour.

It likes a position in full sun to a little shade, nice rich, moist soil and can be pruned each year in winter. If heavily pruned, and it is suggested it can be cut back to within a few inches of the ground, flowering will not be as good as if you only trim it to keep it under control. It can be successfully grown in a pot apparently, but my suggestion would be that it would need to be a very large pot!! It would not be something to try if you only had a small area either in a pot or open ground. Having said that, there is a smaller form called “purple haze”, that might be worth a try. It would certainly give a lush tropical look to a patio.

Opinions seem divided as to how toxic it is but all agree that animals won’t eat it unless there is nothing else around because of the smell of the leaves when brushed against, so fairly safe around your dogs and cats. It is also suggested that the roots are particularly poisonous if eaten and have killed people in Africa where it is used in tribal medicine!

As I am writing this the Jumpers and Jazz Festival is off to a great start with beautiful weather on Sunday for the car spectacular in Palmerin Street. Having grown up in the 50s with older brothers I guess I have always been a bit of a “rev head”! Each year of the festival since I’ve lived in Warwick I’ve treated myself to a trip down memory lane on the first Sunday morning of the festival with a walk down Palmerin Street and now also Leslie Park. Thank you to all the dedicated people who preserve motoring history so beautifully and with such pride and allow us to enjoy their treasures.

Driving around town recently after the heavy frosts we’ve been having I was astounded to see a very “tropical” looking tree in a garden in Percy Street.

With further investigation, I discovered it is a “melianthus major” or commonly, “honey bush”. It is native to South Africa where it is considered a roadside weed, and does well in Australia as do so many other beautiful plants from there. In fact, it does so well here that it has naturalised, is a problem and declared noxious in some southern areas!

It is a fast-growing perennial that can reach 3 to 5 metres and about 1.5 wide. It reproduces by seed and suckers! Supposedly it doesn’t like frosts, but the one I saw is flourishing at the moment and is not in a sheltered position, and I’ve experienced some of the hardest frost this year since I arrived in Warwick. It has large grey-green leaves and looks like something you’d find growing in a tropi-

SPORT

SPORT SHORTS WEATHER NO FRIEND The Stanthorpe weather has been no friend of the Stanthorpe Mallet players of the past few months and this past week was no exception with only one group able to get on the court due to the unfavourable conditions.

Tuesday five hardy players enjoyed a round of Ricochet Croquet rather than the more difficult format of Association Croquet. Heather Widderick and Sharyn Roser went head to head in what was a close game from the getgo. Both players used good strategy and were prepared to take some risks throughout the game. Roser secured a small lead at the back end of the game and went on to win 26-21 pegging with an accurate shot on the last ball she played. Widderick had three runs of two hoops in succession while Roser scored two runs of two in a row.

Meanwhile Pauline Smith and Grace Howard played with dogged persistence in their game against Jenny Tunbridge. They were no match for Tunbridge who was in top form and despite their best efforts pegged out on 26.

Tunbridge and Smith each had one run of two during the course of the game.

BUSY WEEK GOLFERS Warwick Sandstone and Wendy and Wayne Rhea sponsored the Ladies 18/9 Stableford at the Warwick Golf Club on 20/7. Conditions were bleak and challenging for the play for the 16 golfers.

The conditions did not faze Majella Kahler who finished her round with a winning score of 37 points. The nine hole winners did not seem to be deterred by the conditions either.

Carole Brandon who played well on Tuesday at Cabarlah won the front nine. Her score 21 points. Di Johnston did best on the back nine with 19 points.

Anne Lyons (35), Mary Young (31), Jill Barnes (30) and Yvonne Pinington (28) figured in the run downs.

Mary Young won the Pro Pin on the 7th sharing it with Anne Lyons and Roslyn Darton.

A busy week for the golfers continued on Friday with the Warwick club hosting the Adam Falconer Shield pennant teams on Friday. Given the horrible conditions. The Warwick ladies were pleased to host and not playing given the dreadful conditions. After the round Warwick sit in third place two points behind Pittsworth and half a point in arrears of City. There are just two round remaining.

Saturday conditions were a little more favourable when the field teed off in the July -Monthly Medal contest. The winning score in both divisions was 71 nett.

The current batch of inform players all stepped up in this comepitition and figured in the top placings. Majella Kahler continued her fine form winning Division one. The runner up was Jill Barnes with 75 nett.

Division Two was a close contest. Ros Darton declared the winner after getting the nod in a countback after she and Di Johnston each returned nett 71.

Jill Barnes was the winner of the Division one putting comepitition needing 29 putts for her round. Tub Ingall also needed only 29 putt to win the Division Two putting comepitition.

Players in the rundown were Tub Ingall and Carole Brandon (7, Judy Lester 78 and Annice Payne (80). Judy Lester held the Div. two approach on the third and Carole Brandon landed her ball 60mm away from the hole to win the Div. Three approach at the fifth. Mary Young, Marg Adcock, Ellie Casey and Di Evans shared in the Pro Pin. The July Monthly Medal sponsored by the Condamine Sports Club. Saturday (30/7) the ladies play a Red Stableford sponsored by AOK Clothing.

MATTHEWS FIRES IN SMALL FIELD A smaller than normal field hit the Warwick Golf course at the weekend for the Men’s Single Stableford event sponsored by King Street Mechanical.

The poor conditions did little to deter Alan Matthews who returned the winning score of 37 points. Matthews has been playing well and recently partnered Don Stewart in the 4BBB handicap Matchplay. The pair qualified and progressed to the semi-final only to go down on the 20th hole.

Kris McLennan was the Stableford runner up. McLennan returned 36 points which represented two under off the stick – excellent golf in the windy conditions. There was a bit of a log jam on 36 points and McLennan was declared the runner up after a countback with

Bruce Howells and Michael Hoskin. Clayton Frank and James Bradshaw both returned 35 points to complete the run down.

The NTP shots went to Josh Jensen (fifth), Evan Pfeffer ( seventh and 11th). Dave Speedy had success at the ninth and Jay Roberts won the 16th.

At the pro pin on the 13th Kris McLennan won four balls, Al Matthews three, Dave Speedy two. Wayne Walters who has only recently returned to the game after a break pocketed the final ball and is steadily returning to his good form of old.

Saturday BNW Accountants provide the trophy for a Single Stableford. On Sunday the Mixed Foursome Championships, an honour board event, over 36 holes will be played.

A reminder that the Warwick Open two-day event is scheduled for August 13 and 14.

WARWICK SPORTERS RUG UP The rain in the main held off but the Artic wind blowing across the Warwick Golf course made for conditions conducive only to the most avid Sporters.

Fifty golfers rugged up and teed off in the past week’s Sporters round sponsored by the Condamine Sports Club.

As a former police officer Terry Bennett obviously had good intel that the Police Legacy Game is just around the corner (August 3) and was busy fine tuning his game in preparation.

His score of 38 points secured him the win after a countback with Brad Silver.

Also on 38 points were Don Stewart and Peter Gribbin who were relegated to a ball each in the run down along with Matt Penn and Dan Bowles (37), Keith Farrell (35) and Brett Sturgess (34on a countback).

Dan Bowles collect three balls at the 11th.

Matt Penn two and Keith Farrell one ball. Evan Pfeffer had success at the 13th winning three balls, , Mark Simmonds two balls and Don Stewart the last ball.

Al Matthews was NTP at the fifth; Danny Lyons had success at the seventh; Brad Silver the ninth and Eddie Kemp landed the 16th.

GOOD CONDITIONS FOR STANTHORPE STROKE ROUND Stanthorpe golfers played a stroke round on Saturday and were relieved the weather bureau boffins had the forecast almost spot on and much better than the days leading into the weekend.

Lyle Bryant and Barry Jones each returned nett 67 in the Men’s event and following the countback the win by just half a point went the way of Lyle Bryant while Jones settled for runner’s up prize.

Matt Burgess had the Best gross score of 80 for the day and also collected the Birdies nest at of the day at hole six.

In the Ladies event, Mei Bell returned to form carding the lowest nett score and returned to the winner’s circle. A good effort as there is still not a lot of run on the course.

Nikki Waterworth and Lyn Ludlow fought out a countback for the runner’s up spot when they both returned nett 74. Nikki getting the nod.

Pin shots were claimed by Scott Constable at three, Brad Silver at 12 and Barry Jones at 17.

Jones also collected the pro-pin at 1/10. Rob Reeves at 5/14 and Mick O’Brien at 9/18. Lyn Ludlow and Lisa Stuart collect pin shots for the ladies.

Scott Constable, who sponsored the day’s play, also held a putting competition at the end of play.

Those who participated had a one chance putt to hole out at a fairly lengthy putt. The prize was substantial. The lucky winner would have their 2023 membership fee paid. Not surprisingly there were plenty of entrants keen to give it a good shot. There was plenty of excitement but alas no winner.

Scott has decided a similar putting contest will be held after the next medal events until there is a winner.

This weekend another month draws to a close and that signals the end of month medley 4BBB Stableford competition. Sponsors for the event are Ron and Annelle Batterham, It is a shot gun start at 11.45. Registration is to be completed by 11.30am and there is a time sheet on the board at the club.

WARWICK MATCHPLAY FINALISTS For the Warwick players who have made it through to the final of the 4BBB handicap match play event, another honour board event have been announced. Rhys Farrell and Michael Watt will play Daniel Bowles and Matt Penn in the final played over 36 holes. Farrell

and Watt gained their spot with a hard fought win over Al Matthews and Don Stewart on the 20th hole after being one down at the 18th.

Matt Penn and Daniel Bowles had a much easier path to the final after scoring a five and three win over Garry Adcock and Tony Kahler in their semi-final. with Daniel Bowles playing a great match in that game with a number of birdies so it should be a great match. Good luck to all players.

Casey O’Connor

Let the games begin!

With the Commonwealth Games almost upon us I am feeling a little nostalgic.

Four years ago, I was gearing up to volunteer on the Gold Coast.

Getting to Birmingham was just a bit of a stretch so I won’t be volunteering at back-toback Comm Games, though I wish I was.

You can be guaranteed that I will be glued to the TV for the entirety.

That mean I guess there will be lots of black coffee and not much sleep. I can’t wait to watch Ben Armbruster make his debut in Aussie colours.

I will be cheering loudly for the Aussie girls in the Sevens having been in amongst the Caslick cheer squad when they won silver at the Coast. In that game Charlotte Caslick suffered a bad concussion so fingers crossed she

and they (team) have more luck if and when they make the final this Games.

Meg Lanning and the Australian Women’s Cricket team will be out to make history when they play at the Games. The first time cricket will be represented. That is pretty exciting.

I am hoping some Aussie gold combined with the black coffee will take away the bitter taste left after this past week’s NRL games.

While I tipped the Cowboys and took them in our tipping comepitition I cannot believe the way the game was decided and believe me I needed those two tipping points.

Will someone in authority please blow up the Bunker? In fact I’m pretty sure the Tigers players, officials and supporters would like to tear the whole thing apart after last weekend.

We are all for advancement and technology

but surely not at the cost of the game.

The Tigers hierarchy are clearly not happy, and their boss has spoke with ARL Commission chairman Peter V’landys and NRL CEO Andrew Abdo about the blunder over the weekend – no surprise there.

There is talk they, the Tigers, have not ruled out legal action. Let’s hope that is heat of the moment talk. It is bad enough we have the Bunker deciding the outcome of games I am sure fans don’t want games decided in court battles.

Please someone do something before this great game is completely ruined.

Now what channel do I need for the Games?

Surely there will be a little sanity there.

Sports heroes centre stage

By Casey O’Connor The Southern Downs will punch well-above its weight during the next 10 days as the Birmingham Commonwealth Games gets into full-swing.

The region will be represented at the games with a mix of experienced campaigners including Allora’s athletics star Matt Denny and Sevens competitors Demi Hayes and Charlotte Caslick, and international new-comer Stanthorpe’s swimming star Ben Armbruster.

Armbruster and his teammates have been training in France getting a firsthand taste of things to come not only in Birmingham but in the Paris Olympics in 2024, according to his Stanthorpe coach Gail Smail.

Smail said the young swimmer had “settled into the village like a veteran”.

“He was very excited to arrive and find his Australian kit waiting for him in his room,” she said.

Armbruster, who will swim the 50 metre backstroke, gets his first taste of competition at the highest level when he swims the heats on Sunday night at 7.30pm.

A planned trip to Birmingham by his family and coach was stymied when his mother Shannon became ill. Instead, his support group will be setting up camp at home in Stanthorpe surrounded by plenty of green and gold as they watch the unfold on a big screen.

When Armbruster stands on the blocks representing Australia there will be no-one prouder than his long-time coach, Gail Smail. Smail nurtured Armbruster’s career as a youngster with potential to the point where he was, as a late teen, ready to take his swimming to the next level and remains his close confidant.

Allora’s Matt Denny has been training in America in preparation for the Field events Discus and Hammer Throw.

Denny finished on the podium with a Silver medal in the Hammer Throw and finished fourth in the Discus at 2018 Games on the Gold Coast while he fell just 5cm short of claiming a bronze medal in discus at the Tokyo Olympics.

All eyes will be glued to the screen as the Allora product tries to improve on his past results. He is rated in the top 10 Australian medal chances in track and field at the Birmingham Games.

In Rugby Sevens, Charlotte Caslick and the Australian Women’s Sevens team are looking to avenge a miserable Tokyo Olympics campaign and a shock loss in the gold medal game at the Gold Coast in 2018.

Caslick has strong family links to the Stanthorpe area and now runs a cattle property in the district with her fiance. Earlier this year she was named the Pearls co-captain alongside Demi Hayes.

Charlotte Caslick.

Games team rookie. Backstroker Ben Armbruster.

Hayes also has links to the district. Although born in Mt Isa, she spent her childhood on a property at Glenmorgan just outside Warwick before going to boarding school in Toowoomba.

Like Caslick, Hayes made her way to Rugby Sevens via an outstanding career as a Touch Football player.

The dynamic pair have been at the centre of the re-emergence of the Australian Rugby Sevens who were in scintillating form throughout the HSBC Series which they won.

The team goes into the Commonwealth games with a strong mix of youth and experience and high expectations.

The Australians are in Pool B along with Fiji Scotland and South Africa and play their opening game on 29/7 (UK time). The final will be played on 31/7 and the Charlotte, Demi and the Pearls will be doing their best to be there.

Cowboys’ 2022 on the line

By Casey O’Connor The Warwick Cowboys hosted the Gatton Hawks in the TRL clash on Saturday night at Fr Ranger Oval with the Cowboys going down 16-12 in a tough, possibly season-defining game.

The loss puts the Cowboys outside the top six teams with four rounds remaining.

The game was rated by many as one of the toughest games at Fr Range for some time.

Then ferocity of the game saw plenty of unforced errors for both teams and the score remained at nil-all until midway through the first half.

Gatton winger Jayden Williams crossed to give the visitors first points on the back of the weight of possession.

Despite several raids on the opposition line the Cowboys saw little of the ball and the score at half-time was 6-0 and the Cowboys saw little ball in the first half and when the team returned the game was very much in the balance.

Although both sides came out in the second half with real intent, it was the Hawks who drew first blood when when Tyson White scored the first of a double in the 47th minute to extend the lead to 10 nil.

A big turning point came in the game when the Cowboys lost their inspirational leader Mick Bloomfield who succumbed to a shoulder injury. The boys dug deep. Harry Sullivan and Mitch Wilson kept their team in the game with determined efforts and courage. The pair setup the Cowboys’ first try in the 52nd minute of the game, combining to put Byron Creighton in under the posts.

With the score at 10-6 the Cowboys had gained some momentum and applied plenty of pressure back on the visitors.

Momentum swung back to the visitors when Hayden Lipp kicked the first of

The Warwick Cowboys lost inspirational leader Mick Bloomfield with a shoulder injury at a crucial point in Saturday’s loss against the Hawks, two crucial 40/20s.

Another attempted 40/20 was stymied by Warwick as it was tapped back into play before

going over the sideline. The ball was swooped on by Tyson White and he scored an unbelievable try to extend the lead to 16-6.

Warwick were never going to die trying and peppered the Hawks try line defence. Eventually the defence cracked and Harry Sullivan closed to the uprights. With seven minutes left on the clock the score was 16-12.

It was a tough game, and some great football was marred by poor behaviour on and off the field. One of the Cowboys’ long-time sponsors telling Spin he was disgusted by the behaviour and language of the visiting supporters. The bad language also extended to some of the Gatton players on the field, saying it was one of the worst exhibitions he has ever seen or heard.

It is understood that a complaint may be lodged with the TRL. A real pity a good game was ruined for so many by this type of behaviour.

Matt and Candy Grew of MCG SHEDS/ RANBUILD sponsored the the Best Forwards and Backs awards.

No surprise that in the A Grade Harry Sullivan was named best forward and Tyrelle Ross Best Back.

Redbacks bite Tigers as Clarkson stars in landslide win

By Casey O’Connor

Redbacks’ Tyhe Clarkson chaired off the ground by his team mates after playing milestone game number 150.

It was an even more determined Redbacks that came out of the dressing room for the third quarter, with the side looking to make converting opportunities a priority. This was something they managed in spades, kicking eight straight goals and not registering another behind in the entire second half.

Vinnie White pumped up the crowd in his 50th game for the Redbacks when he booted his first goal of the year. New recruit Jamie Suhr had the crowd back on their feet when kicked his first goal for the Redbacks shortly after.

The Redbacks were excellent in attack but also strong in defence. Jacob Allison rebounded everything the Tigers kicked and kept them scoreless for the quarter. They headed into the fourth quarter with a 90-point lead, 18-9 (117) to 4-3 (27).

There was no easing off in the final quarter, but the Tigers won bragging rights in the last throes of the game winning the quarter by a point. Unfortunately for the Tigers it was too little too late.

Tyhe Clarkson wrapped up his 150th game in style named the Redbacks Players Player.

The Redbacks dominated play, particularly in the second half, to take the points in style against the Tigers at Warwick.

Tyhe Clarkson celebrated his 150th Warwick Redbacks game in style with a match-winning performance in his team’s stunning 99-point win over the Toowoomba Tigers in their AFL Darling Downs Allie Cup Round 14 clash at Warwick at the weekend.

It was the first time the Gardens Galore Redback had put together back-to-back wins for the season, coming just a week after an equally impressive victory over the South Burnett Saints.

Supporters at Warwick Credit Union Oval had plenty of to cheer about as their side ran away with a comprehensive 21-9 (135) -7-4 (46) win over the Tigers.

The Redbacks have had problems all season with their opening quarters and put in a lot of work to rectify the issues, and the hard work certainly paid dividends against the Tigers.

The home team was on-fire, dominating the opening stanza and kicking away to a 9-7 (61) - 2-0 (12) lead.

Samson Lowney returned to the line-up after a long period on the sidelines, having an immediate impact, kicking the first major of the match.

Tom Allison provided a strong marking target at full forward and capitalised with a couple of early goals.

Players’ player Tyhe Clarkson was not going to be kept out of the action and kicked two goals in 30 seconds to keep the momentum going.

The Tigers came out after the break determined not to lose touch with the rampaging Redbacks with the second quarter becoming more of an arm wrestle.

Both sides managed five scoring shots each, though the Redbacks made more of their chances, kicking four goals and one behind to the Tigers two goals three behinds.

Josh Read was lively in the forward line and brought intensity and tackle pressure inside the 50. Corrie Gilbert dazed his opposite number, bouncing left and right before drilling a magnificent goal from 45 out to send the Redbacks to the long-break with a 59-point lead 13-8 (86) to Tigers 4-3 (27).
