CONDAMINE RIVER ROAD DIPS BACK INTO CONTROVERSY AS CONCERTED ECO-CAMPAIGN FIRES UP Staff Reports editor@thedailyjournal.ink

A

terse press release from council challenging “assertions that have been reported in recent media” gives a hint as to the tension that has bubbled up at the one of the sources of the Murray Darling system - up in Cambanoora Gorge near Killarney. The controversy surrounds a road that is rarely out of the news - the Condamine River Road crosses the Condy 14 times, and its maintenance, tricky at the best of times, is in council’s hands.

Apart from locals, including eco-tourism ventures, the road is the focus of frequent

police attention due to 4WD-equipped hoons using the road and river banks as ski-slopes to try out their skills. The road, SDRC Mayor Vic Pennisi said in a recent statement is a public road, “not a four-wheel-drive enthusiast track,” and he backed the continuing police crack down on hoons. With private properties along the road, closing the road is not an option, and the current free range situation.

Spokesperson for the opponents of the ‘minimalist’ culvert plan called for a revival of the permit system proposed by the previous council, and told the ABC last year that the plan to introduce culverts would “devastate” the environment, but devastation is

What’s the fuss?

Trollies, abandoned cars, orange mesh in parks to name a few concerns Selina Venier editor@thedailyjournal.ink

A

s we pride ourselves on being a newspaper family that gives voice to local issues and listens to readers when concerns are raised, as well as following through on our own concerns from living, working, and raising our families, if we have children or grandchildren, on The Southern Downs, at least four issues have been on our collective minds of late, although there are always more.

The first was if Southern Downs Regional Council has a Media Policy.

This was a question that interested us all as we are qualified journalists with collectively more than 120 years’ experience.

When SDRC Councillor Stephen Tancred

was quoted in the Stanthorpe Today newspaper last month, he spoke of many valuable endeavours achieved. Our consulting Editor, Olav Muurlink has researched and written answers to the questions that this write up evoked, and this can be read here, no doubt with more developments and commentary to

Dr. GAL: ON THE PULSE

Home-based Healthcare Back to the Future Some readers might be too young to remember the doctor home-visit. In actual fact, I don't remember it either!

Wiser colleagues inform me that such visits were normative and expected representing close to half of all doctor-patient meetings in the 1930s and 1940s - but less than 1% by the 1980s. So, what happened?

Ironically, as the new generation in Medicine is bringing forth robots and artificial intelligence, our parents are longing for the "old-fashioned" doctor home-visit now more than ever. In fact, we may have got it wrong by investing too much in telehealth and virtual technologies at the expense of traditional, in-home, accessible care.

Rapid technological advances, evolving applications of artificial intelligence in Medicine, and widespread availability of genetic sequencing, are revolutionising the way we envision healthcare across the human lifespan.

It's a time of great excitement and uncertainty as we navigate the precarious juncture between old-world, compartmentalised models of care, and emerging home-based care models which demand collaboration and planning to meet the twin challenges of an ageing population and increasingly complex burden of multi-morbidity.

I predict home-based care, coupled with emerging technologies, will be fundamental to future healthcare delivery. Multiple surveys and studies since COVID-19 first emerged, demonstrate that what patients really crave is one-on-one care in a familiar environment. Zoom calls and tele-conferencing, whilst convenient, often lack that (essential) human element.

Technology and artificial intelligence stand as a testament to human innovation and creativity, however, they cannot replace the healing power of human interaction, compassion and care. I believe the next challenge in Medicine is finding ways to best utilise these technologies in order to deliver efficient, timely, and accessible care for an ageing population within a comfortable, human environment.

come. Council did respond to our questions.

Concern number two was the three abandoned cars in Stanthorpe, as we reported in this newspaper on February 9.

As we go to print, two cars are still there and the third, on Wallangarra Road, was towed away minutes before we went to print with this edition (see photo here). Readers and people on the street, store owners too, were asking why the cars had been there for weeks, even during the Stanthorpe Show. One local said it made our streets “look like the tip”.

This is what Council told us. “If a vehicle is sighted or reported abandoned, Council runs a registration check as Council can only intervene with unregistered vehicles abandoned on Council roads or reserves. As part of the process, Council liaises with the police to assess whether they have any interest in the vehicle. When the vehicle is cleared by the police, a sticker is placed on the vehicle for it to be removed within 7 to 14 days, depending on circumstances. If the vehicle has not been moved or collected in the specified time frame, Council impounds it.

Abandoned vehicles on the main highway fall under the jurisdiction of the Department of Main Roads.”

Asking Council when the vehicles would be removed wasn’t met with dates. What a spokesperson said was that on February 20, the orange sticker pictured here was placed on the Folkestone Street car, adding to the four others that say “Police Aware” from weeks ago.

A Council Spokesperson further said that: “Local Laws is not aware of any vehicles being abandoned for more for three months in Stanthorpe. In all cases of sighted or reported abandoned vehicles, Council responds and attends to it immediately.”

Of the car in Weeroona Park, Stanthorpe, “The time on this vehicle has expired and Council’s works team has been informed to impound it.” Of the third car on Wallangarra Road, Council said: “This vehicle has a Police Aware sticker on it. As the vehicle is

still currently registered, Council cannot intervene. Council will follow up once registration has expired if the vehicle is still abandoned.” Locals put to us the perspective that if the art gallery had of been open and not undergoing renovations, “the abandoned car would have been removed because it’s a valuable parking space”. We will find out the cost and particulars of towing a car such as these.

Third issue was from a Warwick local who spoke of the abandoned shopping trollies nearby, see her letter within this edition. Council said this: “Shopping trollies are the responsibility of the shopping centre. Please contact centre management to arrange pick up.” We will report back from Rose City Centre Management on that.

The fourth issue raised with SDRC is the state of the playground playing areas for children with orange mesh currently around several, and for “too long a time to be reasonable” said the local. That letter is printed here too. We asked Council and at the time of printing, they were yet to respond but agreeable to do so.

Our papers tomorrow will have more, another plus from more than one edition a week. Keep asking what’s on your minds and we will ask too, and report back, as is our best use of time and space.

ocals and visitors now have the opportunity to see the latest display at the Warwick RSL Club, of the military life of Tannymorel Second World War Veteran, Reece Tart. Mr Tart fought in the Middle East and was one of the famous Rats of Tobruk.

The display includes his photos,

medals, original diaries, his wallet, watch, cushion covers which he had sent back home to his mother. Also included in the display are the original letters to his parents from Mr Tart’s commanding officers and the medal which was sent to his mother upon his death.

It is evident after reading the letters to see that he was very highly regarded by both his superior officers and his fellow soldiers.

The shock and the lost his friends experienced at this time was enor-

mous.

There is a copy of the book which features the full transcription of Mr Tart’s two diaries. A copy of this book will shortly be available for the public to read in the Warwick Libraries Local History section.

John Skinner remarked, “The Warwick RSL Sub Branch are proud and honoured to have these precious items on display so everyone can have an opportunity to view them.”

EVERYONE’S ENTITLED with Andrew Gale

I

t’s not all that often that I praise our state government, and I don’t think I’m Robinson Crusoe when it comes to that. But credit where credit is due, particularly when we hear news that they are reducing the price of something. By quite a lot too.

No, they aren’t reducing the price of registration for V8 cars. I don’t think that would fly with the greenies too well.

They’re not reducing the price of driver’s licences. (But close though). In the last couple of weeks, the Queensland state government announced that as of March 1 2023, they are reducing the price of a 3 year learners licence from $186.55 to $75.

Wow, that’s quite a bit. And it has come as a complete surprise to me because ever since I started a driving school I’d lobbied anyone in government and government departments who would listen, (and badgered those who hadn’t as well), at what I saw as a blatant gouge on learner drivers.

Hey, don’t get me wrong though. I’m not claiming this is down to me. Not in any part. I’m sure the powers that be had forgotten long ago about the pesky, whiney, belligerent Mr Gale. Just as I had given up a couple of years ago on the current politicians and bureaucrats who

set the legislation and or policy that controls these prices.

What particularly irked the cynic in me was that this charge was being levied upon 16 and 17-year-olds. Our young people who don’t vote yet and had no democratic voice or way to push back at all.

I don’t disagree with people paying their way but what I did disagree with was that this charge was for 3 years, whether the learner needed it for 1 year or 3 years. All 5 of my kids who now drive had their learners for no more that a month or 2 over 1 year, yet paid for 3 years regardless.

As well as this, as a driving instructor I have had lots of customers need to renew their learners for another 3 years for ridiculously short periods to do a driving test after having held their learners for 3,6,9 or even more years. 1 of my students even had to renew their licence for a mere 1 day to fit into the next test, which they passed, but had to pay for the full 3 years.

I had hoped that a simpler solution was at hand. I had suggested that when a learner passed their test that any time they had left on their learners was just transferred over to their provisional licence. Just like how time left on a provisional licence transfers over to an open licence. I suppose this is just a different way to skin a cat.

Oops, not that I’m ever going to advocate for skinning cats. I like my little kitty cats Shelly and Brodie. Just as I like my driving school students. And I like them and their mums and dads having a few more shekel’s in their pockets.

Most of all though, I like a fair go for everyone.

COLUMN CENTIMETRES with Olav Muurlink

I’

ve had to dip my toes back into c o u n c i l politicking the last few days, and the water is hot, so hot. One of the wonders of modern council politics is how hot it gets. It used to be the domain of semi-retirees; join the Lions, or Rotary, or do a stint on council. Now people treat a council role as if they are one step down from James Listers role and notably a couple of councillors did put their hand up to step up to state politics when Lawrence Springborg stood down as MP for the Southern Downs.

I like to treat council like its state politics, as it makes it more exciting to report on. But council is really a thermometer of how politics is brewing at the grassroots level, not an action packed arena where things get done. \We had some charismatic mayors in the past—like Bruce Green, Peter Blundell, and Tracy Dobie - but charisma doesn’t mean rates are going to suddenly rise or fall, or economic growth is going to spring up on the Industrial Estate in a fingersnap. Get real…

I’ll leave you with a thought experiment, which is ideal for those of you who are running a business, or work in a small or large business. Think back, and remember the bad old days, or the boom years, or the in-between years when business just quietly was ticking over. Now think back…who was in government then? Labor or the Lib/Nats? I bet you can’t correlate who was in power

with how good/bad things were. Neither can I…and I have been in business many years, and been watching politics keenly for all those years.

The truth is, Australia goes OK whether it’s running on petrol, diesel or solar juice. Some years things go better; some year things go grim.

The politicians are more often than not, the empty cans and bottles floating on the surface of events.

Remember when you were a kid, sitting on the back street, pretending to steer the car with your dad in front.

You’re in the the backbench. Your dad is the PM, trying to negotiate traffic, subject to the whims of the red lights, the green lights, the truckies on a mission, the drivers eating breakfast with one hand on the wheel… The opposition meanwhile is in the trailer hanging on for dear life.

The reason Australia runs well is actually down to us, collectively.

So what councillors do? They can try. So if your councillor takes your calls, takes time to meet with you, is out and about, attending meetings, putting forward points, and wrinkling their brow over decisions…that, dear voter, is a good councillor, hanging on for dear life.

Media Just can’t leave well enough alone policy rethink continues Reports from Warwick Courthouse Kim Hanson-Ross

kimberley.hansonross@icloud.com

A

35-year-old pleaded guilty to four charges related to domestic abuse in Warwick Court on Monday, February 20 which included harassing the aggrieved with 254 phone calls in the span of one month.

His defence lawyer, Hamish Chapman said his client was “an active Aboriginal support worker, who’d maintained consistent full-time employment over two decades, and that his recent actions were a relatively new development in his behaviour.”

The defendant had reportedly threatened to kill his ex-partner, “but he was never going to follow through” said Mr Chapman, who noted that it was a poor lack of judgement on his clients part.

“Victims often don’t know that” Magistrate Victoria Sturgess retorted quickly to this defence.

Initially in 2018, the man was put on a Domestic Violence order for reasons which were not disclosed, and in 2022, his ex-partner ended the relationship.

The incident happened “during the

breakdown of an 18-year relationship,” of whom the defendant has “five children with.” Mr Chapman informed.

After the relationship was ended, the defendant called his ex-partner repetitively thereafter, to the point where the aggrieved felt “distressed and controlled,” and despite asking him to stop harassing her, he continued to do so, going as far as to get a new phone number when she blocked him.

The ex-partner felt that the initial order did not offer sufficient protection, and she and another order was made preventing him from making contact outside of negotiations with her children, nor was he allowed to come near the property she resided on.

Following this order, the aggrieved continued to receive phone calls, this time including threats to kill her and the person he believed she was dating at the time, including threats to “Cut her throat” and “Calling her a m****.”

The ex-partner, on some days, would receive over 60 calls a day from the defendant, which included phone calls in the early hours of the morning.

The defendant reportedly was binge drinking and had concerns about the pos-

sibility of seeing his children again.

When police conducted an interview with the defendant and played back the voice messages, he let the matter of seeing his children go, stating that at the time he was drunk. They further questioned whether it was appropriate to request speaking to his children at 3am in the morning.

The defendant was noted to have an alcoholic problem by the Magistrate, who pointed out his previous (though limited and spread out) criminal history, which included two counts of being a public nuisance, and three counts of drink driving.

“Drinking is not an excuse,” Magistrate Sturgess told the defendant. “When a relationship is over, it’s over. You cannot force someone to be with you. And bombarding someone with threats is no way to convince them otherwise.”

His limited criminal history and contributions to the community were looked upon favourably. Mr Chapman noted that, “If he can shake the (alcoholic) habit, he could very well continue to be a productive member of society.”

The man was fined $1000, and put on probation for 12 months.

Dear Editor, I’m surely not the only person who’s sick and tired of seeing supermarket trolleys discarded on our city streets. It really is a disgrace. On two occasions over the weekend, during the day and again at night time, I came across many Coles and Woolies trolleys along the Fitzroy Street footpath, plus in tree beds, in the gutter, in parking spaces etc. This doesn’t seem to happen very often with Aldi’s trolleys, if at all. Is that because they have the $2 incentive to return a trolley? If that works for them, why don’t all supermarkets use this tactic and keep our streets tidy?

Robyn Warwick Dear Editor, I was pleased to see the Letter to the Editor from G. Hing (Daily Journal 17/2/23) and endorse his or her disappointment with the lack of access to play equipment and questioning the long period of time numerous small parks in and around Warwick have been closed. Is there a timeline for completion? SDRC (Southern Downs Regional Council) please provide residents with some information regarding this project? Let the swings swing, families gather and children play!

Anon Warwick To the Editor, The only dam that this district needs is for town water and there is at least four options according to DERM, and Emu Swamp was not a priority.

From what I have read, the best option was to raise the wall on Storm King. Also it would help if

the dam was de-silted. Other towns have done this. Dam maintenance is necessary yet the council has become so obsessed with Emu Swamp, nothing else matters. The next best option is to dam the creek near M&M Sawmill.

If a large dam has to be built for a perceived benefit, it should be below the confluence of accommodation Creek or Washpool Creek. This effectively doubles the amount of water available.

There is numerous excellent sites there. A site here would ensure water 100% of the time.

Remember the old saying, “God also created idiots”. Unfortunately God seemed to give Stanthorpe more than its share. The trick is not to be one.

Legal help for Queenslanders facing mortgage squeeze Contributed

L

egal Aid Queensland is encouraging people to talk to their lenders and service providers if they are struggling to make ends meet, as increasing interest rates and cost of living pressures start to hit household budgets.

Consumer law expert Loretta Kreet said it was important for people to understand the options available to them if things are tight financially and to

get help quickly.

“The first step is to talk to your lender about your mortgage and all of your other loans, credit cards and Buy Now Pay Later products, and talk about the options available in your particular case,” she said.

“The earlier you talk to your lender, the more assistance they are usually able to provide. You should also talk to your local council if you’re struggling with rates, your body corporate if fees are an issue, and your water and electricity providers to ask about their hardship policies,

which can help you get your bills back on track.”

Ms Kreet said many people didn’t realise there were consumer protection laws that gave borrowers the right to access hardship provisions if they are struggling to repay their loans.

“Many lenders and service providers are legally required to offer help to people experiencing hardship, which means you can negotiate with your lender to increase the length of the loan or suspend or reduce your payments until you’re back on track financially,” she said.

“But it’s important to note that not all lenders or service providers are covered by these laws, so sometimes we see people who are able to negotiate a repayment plan for their mortgage, but their house ends up being sold due to unpaid body corporate fees or council rates.

“It can be really hard to talk to someone if you’re struggling financially. Asking for help is hard. But if your finances are really tight, we encourage you to talk to us so you understand the legal protections that are available to you.”

Legal Aid Queensland also has a free legal information guide “Are you struggling to pay a loan?”, available to read online, which explains your rights when negotiating with lenders and service providers if you’re struggling financially. You can also order a free hard copy of the guide at www.legalaid.qld.gov.au If you are struggling to pay a loan and need legal advice call Legal Aid Queensland on 1300 65 11 88 or visit www.legalaid. qld.gov.au

Zonta’s invitation for International Women’s Day

Zonta’s Yellow Dinner

Contributed

Staff Reports

Following the March 4 Yellow Dinner, on March 8, members of Zonta Stanthorpe will “celebrate the achievements of women around the world and recognise their contribution to our community by commemorating International Women’s Day”.

“For more than 100 years, Zonta International has embraced equity and worked towards equal representation of women at all levels of society,” Zonta Stanthorpe President Desleigh Volpato said.

The theme for this year’s

International Women’s Day is #EmbraceEquity, the local advocate explaining that: “This means everyone in our community has a role to value and seek out difference as a necessary and positive element of life.”

“To embrace equity means to understand the journey required to achieve women’s equality,” Ms Volpato said, Funds raised at the Yellow Dinner will be donated to Zonta’s international service projects and education programs which “aim to provide life-changing opportunities for women and girls to

Tour the campus, talk to students and see our College in action

achieve gender equity worldwide”.

“Our members also engage at the local and national level in advocacy and awareness efforts focusing on ending gender-based violence and closing the gender gap in male-dominated fields through education and advocacy,” Ms Volpato concluded.

This International Women’s Day, Zonta Stanthorpe invites members of the Southern Downs community to “join in helping build a better world for women and girls”.

Amanda Dalton from Protea Place in Toowoomba is the next guest speaker for the Zonta Club of Stanthorpe’s International Women’s Day “Yellow Dinner” on March 4.

The Toowoomba charity was established in 2018, opening its doors the following year “to assist vulnerable women in the region”. Ms Dalton, as the Founder and CEO has experience in the social services sector and is reportedly “passionate about creating tangi-

ble change for women in need”.

Road to a less wasteful economy Green Gal Contributed

O

n February 15, Assistant Minister for Regional Roads, Bruce Saunders announced the commencement of reconstruction work to repair a damaged slope face on GattonClifton Road at Fordsdale. Repairs were needed after wet weather eroded a large section of the hillside last year, raising safety concerns.

“The slope was damaged after heavy rainfall and flooding last year, particularly in late February and March, and again in May,” Mr Saunders said. “Transport and Main Roads engineers assessed the site and developed a green solution.

“Spray concrete is frequently used as a method of stabilising cuttings and damaged slopes, and while it is an effective treatment method, we strive to take

opportunities to do our work in a more environmentally friendly way. This project will involve securing large and unstable rocks with anchors and installing steel mesh to stabilise the slope face, followed by a hydromulch treatment. The hydromulch, which is a combination of seed, water and wood fibres will provide a protective cover and limit soil erosion, and help revegetate the site.”

Works are scheduled to be completed by 4 May 2023, weather and construction conditions permitting.

It is good to see the Queensland Government looking at more environmentally friendly solutions for slope stabilisation. Reducing concrete use is essential, as its production releases enormous amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. If we want to reach net-zero carbon targets we need to find

repair and maintenance of roads has several benefits. These include reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill and reducing the greenhouse gas emissions generated by the production of new materials and the disposal of waste materials. It is part of the “circular economy”, where materials are continually reused to their highest and best use.

Waste products like glass, plastic, tyres, crushed concrete, crushed brick and rubber are already being used to create various components of road infrastructure. Recycled plastic products can be used to make bollards, guardrails and speed humps, as they have been proven to be strong, durable, and weather-resistant. Recycled rubber from tyres can be used to make asphalt for roads, with the resulting roads being more dura-

Provided it is a non-toxic blend of native seeds, hydromulch is a much greener option and it can even include specially selected strains of bacteria and fungi with essential nutrients to improve and restore soil.

In the bigger picture, the road to net-zero might well be paved with recycled materials, which can be used in road building and repairs.

The incorporation of recycled materials in the construction,

ble and resistant to cracking and potholes. Recycled glass can be used as a substitute for 10-20% of sand or aggregate in road materials.

Apart from the obvious environmental benefits of using waste products in road construction there are also economic benefits. The cost of waste management is a significant burden on local governments and using waste products to build roads can reduce those costs.

Additionally, using recycled products in road construction can lower the cost of production and maintenance of roads.

In the 2019-2020 financial year, Southern Downs Regional Council recovered 37% of waste. Their goal is the recovery of 70% of all waste by 2039, so there’s still a lot of room for improvement. Could an investment in recycling technology help with road building and repair in the district?

Nominations open for the 2023 Queensland Volunteering Awards Contributed

D

uring National Volunteer Week from 15-21 May 2023, volunteers from all over Queensland will be recognised at the Queensland Volunteering Awards at Brisbane City Hall. With such a strong commitment to volunteering on the Southern Downs, readers are encouraged to read more about how to nominate.

Queensland’s volunteers have always been “the life force of their communities”, extending helping hands and fostering vital human connections that give hope and meaning to the lives of others.

Despite the fall in volunteering in formal settings, informal volunteering continues to thrive, often hiding in the shadows of sporting clubs, schools and charities.

The Queensland Volunteering Awards acknowledge and honour the astonishing contribution and spirit of service of all Queensland volunteers and volunteer

involving organisations. The Awards are presented across six categories: · Queensland Volunteer of the Year Award · Queensland Youth Volunteer of the Year Award · Queensland Lifetime Contribution to Volunteering Award · Queensland Excellence in Volunteer Management Award · Queensland Volunteering Impact Award · Queensland Corporate Volunteering Award Volunteering Queensland said they are “privileged to present the Awards and want to recognise the contributions from each and every region of Queensland”.

They also recognise that one of Queensland’s strengths is its diversity and the collective contribution of all its citizens, “welcoming nominations from all members and sectors of the community”.

Volunteering Queensland CEO Mara

Basanovic said, “The power and spirit of volunteering is alive and well across Queensland and evidenced every day.

Queenslanders are generous, compas-

sionate, and supportive of one another and their local and wider communities.”

Donovan book launch in Warwick Contributed On the 8th February, Rosanne Buck (nee Donovan) hosted the “Donovan” book launch at Little Gallery Café in Palmerin Street Warwick.

L-R Rosanne Buck, Gayle Cartwright and Ann Donovan.

The book of family history features one of the Southern Downs earliest pioneers, Denis Donovan, who is first mentioned shearing at “Westbrook” in 1853 and who is thought to have arrived in Australia in 1842. Denis married Phoebe Luck in 1855 in Pilton. The book also tells of Denis and Phoebe’s family and the struggle to ultimately purchase a property called the “Glen” at Omanama.

Dowling, Gray and Osborne families. Rosanne said the book started out as a school project for her son Tony in 1980 and later on with Rosanne and her sister Nancy.

The book’s editor was Gayle Cartwright and the artist, Margaret Druitt.

Rosanne warmly welcomed and thanked all those who attended the official launch of the Donovan The launch was a reunion event for book. She was also very appreciasome 50 relatives including the tive of the closing comments by Charles, Donovan, Bellingham, Hon.

One more river to cross Continued from page 1...

One of the options bandied around by opponents of the council approach is to literally build bridges - but the price of 14 extra bridges for the shire already facing a budget crisis. There’s also a legislative problem in the road: Council officers told our newspapers that bridges have to comply with fish passageway legislation and “need to be built outside of the area high-water mark which is problematic given that the crossings are prone to elevated water levels and high debris loads.”

Council picked the four crossings that were the deepest and most vulnerable to closure, with bridges costing up to six times as expensive. Council culvert plan is to create a resistant artificial riverbed at the the four crossings at the natural depth, replicating what is there in ‘normal’ flow times. Environmental and cultural assessments have been undertaken, and to try and tackle the 4WD nuisance by fencing off the road corridor at MaWhirts, Mill’s, Reis, Heywood, Billy John Daggs, Andrew Evans, Long and Watson

Crossings.

The campaign to oppose the building of reinforced culverts at some of the more sensitive crossings hit the national spotlight with the ABC including Australia All Over featuring the story. Privately (and in its press release sent out last Friday, publicly) the council is disputing the account events run

in a series of articles in the Today group newspapers, both in detail and in spirit. The articles hint at a council - and more particular a mayor who’s gung-ho about community opinion on the gorge, and the environment in general.

But some of the facts are undisputed: Two years ago access gates to the road were removed, and

plans to introduce a permit system, which would have weeded out nuisance traffic in the sensitive area, were scrapped on legal advice given to council in 2021, as the road, for better or worse, is a public road.

The council has however taken an alternative controversial route to put the squeeze on the off-road-

Widely promoted on the internet as a ‘fun’ road for 4WDers, the Condamine River Road attracts dozens of motorists trying out their vehicles in sensitive water crossings.

ers: Two CCTV cameras have been installed, =and material that may have been interpreted as encouraging off-road hooners to use the road as a off-road trial for their vehicles has been dropped from information distributed by information centres. The raft of measures were moved by Crs Trancred and Gliori and carried late in 2021.

The road has been arguably the most debated and reported council road in the region, with a series of public meetings being held prior to the Condamine River Road Working Group (CRRWG) settling on a plan to engineer four crossings that will prove more robust against the wear and tear the road is facing.

With $1.252 million jointly funded by the federal and state governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements plus over $750,000 from the Transport Infrastructure Development Scheme and Council, a contractor has been appointed and works can commence on the four identified priority crossings. But with television stations booking face-to-face responses from Mayor Pennisi in response to the campaign against the changes, it’s likely this year’sold saga is not over.

Something fishy in the Condy Olav Muurlink editor@thedailyjournal.ink

O

K, this is a weird one.

A while back I got myself into a bit of biffo with The Today papers over a conflict of interest between the manager Samantha Wantling’s paid day job as sales manager, and her volunteer roles in the community… Outrage from the backers of Ms Wantling, a tireless volunteer in the community was sobering, but I think the point was missed by most. Which is that if you are a volunteer trying to promote an event (e.g. the Apple and Grape) don’t allow your day job to get in the road… Ms Wantling’s managed to ‘secure’ major sponsor status for the Today papers…which is nice, not a major achievement considering she is the manager of…the Today’s papers, count me cynical…particularly considering we weren’t asked to bid. But, all publicity is good publicity after all, particularly when it is free, so our noses did get out of joint when press releases were withheld and questions left unanswered by the ‘publicity team’. Apparently one of the sticking points is that we didn’t print each and every press release we were given…and we only opened up 97% of our emails from the

Apple and Grape. As someone who has (just checking now) 13,419 unopened emails in my personal email box alone (believe me, I’m not joking), I’m shocked we hit 97%!

Now, there’s another strange case brewing at the Today papers following their decision to employ an award winning journalist Amelia Willmer as senior writer.

Don’t get me wrong - Ms Willmer deserves the role, with a very impressive CV. However, to say that Ms Willmer is perhaps better known to the region as an artist and campaigner against council on the infamous Emu Vale dog kennel case… is to put it mildly. (Remember the story about how protesters arrived at a count of bags of doggy do that would be generated, and end up in our precious waterways?)

The mysterious Ms Willmer is that very rare creature: An award winning journalist who has left almost no electronic footprints on the internet. Just to illustrate how invisible Ms Willmer is on the ‘net, the journo who ran second to Ms Willmer in the prestigious Walkleys back in 1989 gets 243 results despite doing pretty well all his work pre-internet, including his local MP eulogising him in parliament when he passed away. If, however, you Google Amelia Belbin (as she was known then) you will find exactly ONE reference to the illustri-

“The mysterious Ms Willmer is that very rare creature: An award winning journalist who has left almost no electronic footprints on the internet.” ous former journo, turned artist, turned journo…and that is in a simple grid of results of the Walkley Awards, the premier journalism prizes in Australia.

At no stage in her many interactions with this paper over the dog poo story did Ms Willmer mention that not only she was a former journo…let alone that she was actually a bloody good one. Her modesty is all the more strange considering she hasn’t been actually backward in coming forward about her artistic (and prizewinning) talents. “Warwick grandmother Amelia Willmer left her office job to chase her artistic dreams…” goes one story in the Courier Mail and the Today group themselves ran a Q&A without once her illustrious news past coming up once.

Now everyone of course has a right to edit their own history to suit who they are

today, but it is strange to find her leaping into the journalism limelight now, and stranger still to find that the despite the national outrage over, and I quote, the concreting of “three sensitive riverbed crossings”, the public petitions and the people coming into the office with letters…and despite the fact this newspaper is as sympathetic as any to the cause of protecting the environment (I’ve been attacked for it), Ms WIllmer seems to have had a pipeline to the Condamine River crossing protest story, yet we have mysteriously not received any contact from letter writers, petition organisers etc seeking our help in raising this issue and gaining support for the cause. Just as we never received certain press releases from the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival, we never received the press release from Barbara George about the Cambanoora Gorge issue.

Now it’s of course possible that we are a totally unprofessional rag that deserves to be ignored. But we weren’t ignored by Ms Willmer when she wasn’t working for the opposition. Far from it - she was in very regular contact.

So what’s going on here? Community journalism needs all the troops it can get, so I absolutely welcome Ms Willmer’s decision to come out of retirement, but I’m struggling to connect the dots.

The Long Paddock with Gerard Walsh

J

ust before Christmas, we bought 19 Friesian steers through our Warwick agent.

They were reared by a producer from Pittsworth and were about 18 months old.

One might ask why someone with a beef cattle property would buy dairy steers.

The answer is it was probably a bit of an adventure.

Keep the steers for two to three years, plant some oats to fatten them and hopefully get $2000 plus.

I was inspired a bit by two steers at home about 10 years ago.

One was a Friesian cross steer and the other a red steer and they ran around for a couple of years, had a bit of better feed and made $1700 or thereabouts.

That price was before the recent rise in prices.

The red steer was one that didn’t fit in, if you had a nice pen of Angus cross steers, the last thing you wanted was a red steer.

Suspect his mother got in the neighbours and got in calf to a bull which wasn’t Angus.

He was always bigger than the rest of the calves and weaners, perhaps that bull was better quality that the Angus bull we had at the time.

Down the years, I admit we haven’t paid the five-figure sums for bulls to improve cattle quality I don’t disagree it might be the best way to go.

Pay $15,000 for a bull which breeds you 300 calves down the years, you only have to get $50 more per beast to be in front.

The best bull we bought was Bective Paraguay, a Hereford from a sale at Tamworth.

There is nothing more stressful than a bull sale, you mark down 20 bulls from early in the catalogue and each of them makes more than you are prepared to pay.

I really felt sick on the way home from Tamworth, such was the pressure to buy the right bull

at the right price.

We did well with Paraguay, the Greymare producers who I was with at the sale were very impressed with the bull and one even wanted to buy him some years later.

At the time, one of the important things was to try to buy a bull

A

beautiful morning led to a good attendance last Sunday. The open class was a very close competition with only four points separating eight shooters.

The winner was Kevin Birse who put down a perfect score with Richard and Greg just one point behind. Geoff Volmerhause was the sole entrant in standard class and

entered a good total. In the sporter/ hunter class Adrian Baker had a successful morning with a victory over Gary Snelling and Colin Dunstan.

Next Sunday February 26 we will be at the 600 yard mound, sign on at 7.30am for 8am start. Please contact Margaret on 4666 1018 for more information if required regarding these competitions.

Last Thursday, February 16, Evening Bowls commenced at 6pm. There were 16 players plus 5 visitors and the wonderful evening, and temperature, was thoroughly enjoyed by all during the 18 Ends. Everyone said they would be back every Thursday evening which will be great. The smell of the Sausage Sizzle etc. at half- time made everyone hungry and our thanks to Carol, Gary and Pat for supplying the eats, and to Percy and Charlie for cooking the BBQ, also to Carol on Bar duty. Much appreciated. A special Thank-you to Craig Thurgate for organising the evening, and we all look forward to Thursday Evening Bowls continuing through Summer.

Warwick Sporter’s Golf Garry Hanson Contributed

T

he weather gods were kind and Sporters had 68 keen players in the Betta Homes Living sponsored stableford game last Wednesday (15/2).

Tim Plemming took the honours with 40 points just outlasting Ron Munro with 39 points.

Balls in the run down :- Josh Manwaring and Dan Bowles 37 points Garry Adcock and Bryan Slattery 36 points.

Taking time out from his duties as

the Killarney Publican, Scott Mills posted 34 points and also on the same score were Peter Farrell, Greg Carey, Michael Payne and Duke Maloney.

Darrell Bain rounded things out with 33 points on a count back.

The pro pin 13th had Tim Plemming collect $20 Josh Manwaring $15 and Garry Adcock $10.

Nearest the pins :- 5th Wayne Watt 7th Ron Cruice 9th A Skinner 11th Hugh Nose 16th Doug Wilson.

I think we can all relate to this saying: “A golf match is a test of skill against your opponent’s luck.”

Stanthorpe Golf Aaron Simmers Contributed

S

tanthorpe golfers played a single stableford on Saturday 18 February, the day sponsored by Hello World in Stanthorpe and the club thanks them for continuing their sponsorship at the club.

A good field and a few visitors set out for the competition with an early score of 39 points already returned by Ron Batterham. Ron, who spent quite a few

years being the official starter at the club, has found his golf improving since retiring from the role, obviously less stress. His score held on through the day and was the winning score. A few 38 points also returned and the countback was needed to find a runner up which went to Eric Ree. Others on 38 settled for the run down.

The ladies event was won by Helen Jones whose game appears to be improving all the time since undergoing some surgical work some months ago. Her 38 points for the round eged out Lisa Stuart on 36 points, good enough for ladies’ run-

ner up.

Nearest the pins at the par 3 holes went to Brendan McMillan, Hamish Adam, David Hunter (Tenterfield), Helen Jones, Lisa Stuart and Christine Hood. Matt Burgess had best second shot at 1/10, David Lang at 5/14 and Scott Constable at 9/18. The birdies nest at hole 1 was again not won.

In the run down, a ball to scores of 36 and better for the men and 34 and better for the ladies.

Next Saturday, February 25 will be the last Saturday in the month so a shot gun

start at 12 noon for a 2 Ball Ambrose, a fund raising day for the Glen Aplin State School. The day is open to all and no need to have an official handicap. One will be sorted for all players. Already have heard of some ex- students, old boys of the school who intend playing. The nomination sheet for the day is at the club so get a playing partner arranged and turn out for a fun day. Clubs and hire buggies are available at the club, but get in early if needed.

Late win for Warwick and District Gerard Walsh sports@thedailyjournal.ink

A

late try by Malik Wrightman secured a 26-24 win for Warwick and District in round 3 of an under-17 rugby league competition which was supported by the Western Clydesdales and Canterbury Bankstown NRL Club.

In the early game at Eastern Suburbs Oval on Sunday,

February 19, Toowoomba City beat Roma.

Rounds were played in Roma, Toowoomba and Warwick.

Warwick and District, Toowoomba City and Toowoomba Country each won two games but City won the development club due to the best for and against.

Wrightman broke through three defenders in a run close to the line to secure the Warwick and District victory.

A factor in the win was two

conversions from touch by five-eighth Bryce Stewart.

Warwick and District coach Roger O’Brien rated Wrightman from Stanthorpe, Collegians prop Harrison Boal and Wattles lock Sam Gilmore as his best.

“I was really proud of how the boys played and grateful for the great support from assistant coach Aaron Beckhouse, manager Sam Beckhouse and trainer Lindsay Locke,” he said.

A

e d n e s d a y February 15 saw a good field of ladies contest the Pro shop/Red Rooster Single Stableford with a twist…. We were only allowed three clubs and a putter. Helen Olsen found her good form, and may have questioned why she had ever purchased a full set of golf clubs, as she took line honours with 31 points, only using 3 of them!

Helen survived a countback from Maria Carey, and Jill Barnes also with 31 points.

Many of us realised this is why we have a full set of clubs. The field scored as follows- Lyn

McKillop 30 C/B, Roslyn Darton 31 C/B, Sharron Cooper 30, Carole Brandon 29 C/B, Narelle Norris 29 C/B, Mary Young 29, Judy Lester 29, Yvonne Pinington 28 C/B, Patti Hemmings 28, Janet Davis 27, Margaret Adcock 26, Elizabeth Cockram 25 C/B, Tub Ingall 25, Di Johnston 24 C/B, Annice Payne 24 C/B, Janine Stewart 24, Majella Kahler 22, Michelle Wright 21, Vicki Bennett 20.

The front 9 was taken out by Majella Kahler with 17. The pro pin was shared amongst Helen, Judy and Maria.

Saturday February 18, we played a Single Stroke off the Red Markers kindly sponsored

by Noo and the Gang at One Table Café. Thank you for your

sponsorship, I know our ladies truly appreciate your support.

Lyn McKillop is finding her form, coming into podium finishes just in time for the championships. Lyn had a fabulous 39 points. Tub Ingall had a great game as well, scoring a very tidy 37 points surviving a countback from Danielle Siebel also with 37. The field followed like thisAnnice Payne 36, Roslyn Darton 35 C/B, Janet Davis 35, Molly Scotney 32, Maria Carey 31, Judy Lester 30, Margaret Adcock 29, Gwen Mills 28 C/B, Melanie McLennan 28, Mary Young 27 C/B, Carole Brandon 27, Yvonne Pinington 26 C/B, Majella Kahler 26, Jill Barnes 25 C/B, Michelle Wright 25, Helen Olsen 24, Dianne Evans 18.

Next week we will be playing our mid-week Medal on

Wednesday, and on Saturday we will support our hard working Secretary Lynette McKillop who is sponsoring the Annual Secretary’s Pen. Also remember Ladies… the Championships are coming up, the first two weekends in March.

It is always wonderful to play in them, the conrardary after the four rounds is always awesome, and if you can’t play all four, come on up on Sunday March 12 to help celebrate the skilled golfers who have won.

Thank you for a great week ladies, and always remember….

If you hit it right it’s a slice … if you hit it left it’s a hook, if you hit it down the middle…. IT’S A MIRACLE!
