What deems a park, a park?

Mayor Pennisi

Play equipment that has been deemed unsafe in Arcoola Park, in Wilkinson Street, Warwick, was removed on the morning of Monday May 22. Residents of Wilkinson Street phoned our newspapers saying that they were given assurances in 2015 that Arcoola Park would remain a play area for children, in a meeting in the presence of

the then Councillor, Vic Pennisi.

Contacting the now, Southern Downs Regional Council Mayor (Pennisi) about the 2015 meeting, he confirmed that he did give assurances about the future of Arcoola Park, "at the time".

"I did meet with those residents (in 2015)," Mayor Pennisi said. "(And) it was a council decision at the time to leave Arcoola Park alone."

Currently, all the playground equipment has been removed and the future of the space as a home for other playground

structures, is unknown. The title "green space" has been flagged by council as needing to be addressed in a future context within parks.

Mayor Pennisi concluded on Monday May 22, that he "keeps stressing that council have not made a decision about the future of Arcoola Park", in the current-day.

As reported last week, SDRC said that safety is their “priority”.

“Playgrounds are important spaces for the community to

enjoy recreationally and socially, and Southern Downs Regional Council has a duty of care to maintain equipment so it is safe to use and compliant with Australian standards and guidelines,” SDRC’s Manager Parks and Operations Chris Collingwood said.

“Following a high level and considered examination, playgrounds in the following parks will require playground removal … when dry conditions prevail – Apex, Meadow Bank Estate, Shilliday, Arcoola, Mountain

Armed with knives

Police are looking for a group of offenders after a robbery took place at Harvey Norman on May 18.

The suspects were allegedly armed with knives and stole several electrical goods at 12:30pm, with one member of the group damaging a

door upon exiting the store.

There were no injuries.

They left the scene in a blue Mazda hatchback with false registration plates, which was later spotted at 12:45pm the same day, travelling north on the New

England Highway in Allora. Police pursued the vehicle for a short period but abandoned the pursuit due to the dangerous way the suspects drove.

The vehicle was last sighted in the Ipswich area.

Police are asking anybody with information to come forward.

View and Pennant.”

Asking SDRC if there was consultation before the removal of the structures, this was the response: “There was no community consultation about addressing safety deficiencies and removing non-compliant structures,” Mr Collingwood said. “However, before final plans are made to reinstate any playgrounds in the future, there will be community consultation as required.”

New life breathed into old classrooms

Kim Hanson-Ross kimberley.hansonross@icloud.com

Warwick Christian College celebrated the official opening of its newly refurbished, two-story building, “M Block”, on May 19, after 12 months of construction.

The renovations have “successfully repurposed a historically used dormitory building into state-of-the-art classrooms and amenities” which have “significant improvements to the school’s learning environment", a spokesperson said.

The refurbishments have introduced three new spacious classrooms (including a classroom dedicated to Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses), as well as an elevator and 100 meters of sheltered walkways to address accessibility concerns.

Teachers and students alike

have “high praise” for the results of the “M Block conversion project".

The application for the renovations were submitted in 2020

and were approved 12 months later. Construction began in 2021 with the refurbishments being completed the following year.

Renovations were only expected to take about six months, but due to weather conditions, the project took an extra six months to complete.

Serious concerns over transferrable land titles

Jonathan O’Neill oneill.jonathan1@outlook.com

With rates and land values soaring throughout the Southern Downs, a solution to Council’s population growth woes may be addressed when the new Regional Planning Scheme and Urban Design Framework are handed down.

However, some community members are concerned with the proposed introduction of transferrable titles for land subdivisions throughout the local government area.

Nathan Parkes, who sits on the Shaping Southern Downs Advisory

Committee has serious concerns the transferrable title policy will create a market for these titles, pushing average people out of reach.

“Developers are going to be buying these titles and regular people aren’t going to be in the market for these sorts of titles, Mr Parkes said.

“I doubt very much that there’s going to be developers buying blocks around these villages.

“At the end of the day, they’re going to want to buy and sell land around Warwick and Stanthorpe, because that’s where the market is.

“I have some serious concerns about that in terms of constraining development.

“Planning for Dalveen [and other villages] should be deter-

mined by where we’re currently servicing ratepayers like supplying bins etc. It shouldn’t be reliant on having to buy a title from somewhere else”.

Mayor of the Southern Downs, Vic Pennisi said that subdivisions are a frequent topic for local governments, with historical, undeveloped subdivisions not meeting current planning guidelines.

“If you go to Maryvale for example, there’s like 250 subdivided blocks. Those historic subdivisions have no roads built by developers. There was no infrastructure whatsoever,” Cr Pennisi said.

“If those historical blocks are developed, all ratepayers pay for the infrastructure that goes on those particular pieces of land.

There are a number of those.

“If you go to Freestone, there’s also a significant number of historical subdivisions”.

The proposed transferrable titles policy will allow a property owner who has multiple titles on their land, to sell them to someone with titles on neighbouring land if it is adjoining a village, such as Dalveen.

Mr Parkes shares the sentiments of village communities wanting to subdivide their land.

“I can see some serious flaws with the consistency of what’s proposed,” Mr Parkes said.

“A lot of these people aren’t going to sell their titles, they want to realign their boundaries and sell them for smaller blocks.

“I’ve got concerns about it really

A total investment of $1.6 million was dedicated to the renovations, with Warwick Christian college investing $1,000,000, and the Queensland Government investing another $600,000 in the project.

An application is currently in progress to build a new undercover basketball court, with a grandstand which is said to get a nice view over the prospective court as well as the town of Warwick.

“We have lots of plans for the campus,” Principal of Warwick Christian College, Jason Gay, said. “We’re arranging an old campus for twenty-first century learning.”

“The new spacious classrooms allow students to learn in comfort,” Mr Gay said, “We’re investing in their needs and comfort, and if they feel that we’re putting them first, that’ll help improve their engagement with learning.”

constraining development. We’re small villages, yet we provide so much.

“We’re in a housing crisis. We should be able to open these blocks up and prioritise around the villages.

“There are enough people living around Stanthorpe and Killarney to support those towns.

“Let’s put some money into the villages so they’re self-sustaining.

“I’m not taking away from the wonderful work Council has done, I’m just raising some concerns I have with the planning scheme.

“I’m only being the mouth to a community that’s poking me in the ribs”.

EVERYONE’S ENTITLED with Andrew Gale

You may have read a couple of columns I’ve written in the last year lamenting over the state of our road toll. If you don’t recall, or don’t follow the issue like I do, over the last three years, in Queensland, we have seen the death toll on our roads increase by anything up to 25 percent a year. For example, in 2019 we had a total of 220 deaths on Queensland roads, 2020 there were 275 and 2021 there were 299.

These increases were an absolute reversal of the downwards trends in our road toll over the past 50 years. For example, in the early 1970’s Australians killed themselves on our roads at the rate of about 3500-4000 a year, whereas in 2019 it had decreased to about 1200. In Queensland we suffered over 600 deaths in the 70’s yearly with deaths much lower now, as stated above.

A lot of people out there and no doubt some of you who are reading this may not have noticed this at all. I’m surprised as how many people aren’t aware of the great work we have done as a nation to achieve this. This was despite cars on our roads increasing by about ten times in that period, population increases and so on.

Hopefully you can see why I’ve been concerned. So concerned I’ve been telling everyone I can, at every

chance I could, that we have a problem.

The good news is that after almost 5 months this year, the road toll, so far, is back on the downwards slope. So far this year, there has been 88 deaths in Queensland as opposed to 115. That’s 27 less people killed on our roads. Still 88 too many as far as I’m concerned, but thankfully trending in the right direction.

The question I want answered is, “Why did the toll increase by so much?” I’m sure there will be all manner of studies and even papers written about it in the future. Was it just that we as a community slackened off? Was it a result of less Police on the roads because they were tied up looking after border check-points? Was it something to do with the mindsets we developed over the entire Covid-19 thing? Who knows? Maybe we won’t ever know.

One thing we have seen come out of the rise in the road toll was the massive increase in fines and camera enforcement. I’ve seen these tactics work before and maybe that’s been what we needed. I just ask, where can we go from there? Surely those fines are big enough to give people the message.

These fines have increased so much and so quickly that even the states own advertising can’t keep up. When I was driving home from Goondiwindi the other day I passed a massive Queensland Transport billboard telling us to “Wear a Seat Belt or Wear $225 and 3 points.”

It made me think I’d be a bit cranky if had received a fine for doing that in the few months and I saw that sign. The sign is out of date – it’s a $1,078 fine now and potentially 8 points for repeat offenders. Buckle up!

COLUMN CENTIMETRES

with Olav Muurlink

As I get older I’m learning to avoid the situations I wish I had avoided in the past. I’ve been to precious few weddings in the last decades, weddings where one is expected to be lighthearted and talk a lot, and drink a lot with people you don’t really know—that’s a complicated combination. I’m not a man of few words. I’m not a big talker by trade, but to turn a Yellow Pages slogan upside down, I let my fingers do the talking.

My perfect number of talking companions is one, which makes much of what I do very difficult for me. As chair of Co-operation in Development, the local charity that has built over 60 schools and kindergartens in Bangladesh to date, I have to manage a room of people united in having a good heart, but diverse in religion, gender, and even time zones, and I have an unfortunately accurate radar that tells me when people are not entirely happy with me—which, when you are dealing with such diversity, is very often.

I concede I am a strange one. When I was 24, at St. Andrews—yes the same St. Andrews of golf and where Prince William met Kate—I was asked to give a speech on animal ethics to The Laboratory, as the psychology department was known then, on the ethics of animal experimentation. The department had multiple floors, and top floor was devoted to animal experimentation. Perfectly nice gentlemen were doing beastly deeds to other animals on the top floor behind heavy security, and I had been stirring up some concern—to the point of being threatened with expulsion—for my activism… Which surprised me, because I wasn’t particularly active. Curious and concerned would be a good description.

So one Friday, just before drinks (a Laboratory tradition), I gave the very first speech I’ve ever given to a packed little arena. The

lights were on me, and the audience was seated largely in the dark, and that may have helped, but I remember going into an almost opiate dream as I gave that speech. I realised then something I’d never known about myself: while I am nervous at tea and dinner parties, and panic at weddings to the point my clothes get washed with sweat, I’m cool as a chilled cucumber when it comes to public speaking. I put it down to years spent in the orchards and grapes in winter, practicing public speaking as I snipped away.

The practice comes in handy these days. I give a speech of sorts every second day these days—sometimes in very difficult conditions— once in a concrete bunkerlike hall, slow-cooked at 40 degrees in the statistics department in Dhaka, once on windy verandah squinting into a screen and running low on battery, even with my laptop perched on a bale of straw in Bhola Island.

In a few hours I’ll be giving a lecture to about 60 masters students spread across the eastern states and overseas… on the subject of research in business. It’s a topic I enjoy, but not a format. Whereas I would pay good money to avoid chit chat at a wedding, I really enjoy being in a room with students and being able to read their reactions. Zoom classes, such as the one coming up, are really hard in one regard: where do I get the energy, the enthusiasm from? Try as I might the students don’t turn their cameras on, so I can’t see them; don’t speak, so I can’t hear them… In my mind I take myself back to the Waltham Cross and the Muscatels in July, silent as I snipped away and imagined myself to be Winston Churchill. That tends to work.

Local film premieres in Sydney

Granite Belt author Deborah Wheeler was thrilled that her documentary, Second Generation ANZAC: The Story of Alf Carpenter was listed as part of the official National Program for the 82nd Anniversary of the ANZAC Battle of Crete.

The Greek Herald sponsors of the premier and the Cretan Association of Sydney & NSW were said to be "delighted" when Deborah Wheeler and Jeff Hughes were able to attend the event in person. After the event, President of the association, Emmanuel Vitetzakis invited both contributors to the club house for a night of music, food and fun.

He said to Jeff Hughes as the end of the evening "Many thanks to you and Deborah Wheeler for coming to our home. I am glad you enjoyed it. It was a pleasure working with you also, to arrange such a memorable event."

Ms Wheeler said she is grateful to Southern Downs Regional Council for the support given "in making the film a reality".

Private Percy Lewis Clegg

Deborah Wheeler Contributed

Sunday May 14 marked the 80th anniversary of the sinking of the Australian 2/3 Hospital Ship ‘The Centaur’ just off the coast of Brisbane in 1943. Warwick veteran Pte. Percy Lewis Clegg was one of 332 medical staff and crew onboard the ill-fated ship.

Pte. Clegg was born in Sydney in 1903. When he was four years old, his family moved to Glengallan Station where his father was the Shorthorn Cattle Stud-Master. Later they moved to the family Farm, “Sunnyside”, at Pratten. As a young man, he and his brother Leslie took over the farm trading under the name of “The Clegg Brothers”. Pte. Clegg was highly regarded as a horseman and horse trainer.

In January 1933, Pte. Clegg married Priscilla Marjorie Matthews, daughter of Alderman R.W. Matthews of Warwick. They lived on Percy’s small farm, “Heatherlea”, at Mile End on the outskirts of Warwick. He worked at near-by cattle stud “Netherby” which was started by World War One veteran Jim Scrymgeour.

On his own farm, Pte. Clegg had a large poultry run where he bred excellent show poultry and was awarded a number of Grand Championships at the Warwick and Maryborough Shows. Prior to his enlistment in the AIF he was the Baker and Bread Carter in Warwick.

Pte. Clegg was very patriotic, serving as a Trooper in the Darling Downs 11th Light Horse Regiment, A Squadron, located in

Warwick, and was one of the first to join the VDC on its formation in Warwick. When Australia came under threat in 1942, he enlisted in the AIF and was assigned to the medical staff on Army Hospital Ship “Centaur”.

After completing basic army training was at Morgan Park (Warwick) and Tenterfield, NSW, and posted to the Medical Staff of Army Hospital Ship “Centaur” received medical training at the Greenslopes Repatriation Hospital in Brisbane. His initial training was as an Orderly, then upgraded as a Theatre Orderly, and upgraded again to carry out

Theatre Technician duties (Sterilization and Maintenance of theatre instruments).

On his last leave before taking up his posting on AHS Centaur, he rode his push bike from Warwick to the Pratten family farm, about 30 miles, to say goodbye to his mother. His ‘Good-Bye Bike Ride’ has become a family legend and treasured memory. He also had a studio photo taken and distributed to his immediate family.

His son Keith Clegg recalls, "While Centaur was being loaded in Sydney for what was to be her last voyage, the ship’s army medi-

cal staff were given leave and my father went to Taronga Park Zoo and bought a book for me about the animals in the zoo."

The Centaur was on her fourth voyage as a hospital ship and her second voyage to Port Moresby. The ship’s company on her last voyage numbered 332 made up of the Merchant Navy Crew, the Army Medical Staff assigned to the ship, and a Field Ambulance contingent being transported to Cairns.

At 4.10am on Friday May 14 1943, Centaur was on her voyage north approximately thirty nautical miles east of the southern tip

of Moreton Island when she was torpedoed by a Japanese Submarine. 268 personnel lost their lives leaving only 64 survivors. Pte. Percy Lewis Clegg was one of those who lost his life, he was 39 years old.

While attending the 80th anniversary commemorations on Sunday May 14, I spoke with Percy’s son Keith Clegg. Keith said, “My Mother never recovered from the first telegram on Monday 17th advising that ‘Percy was lost in action presumed drowned’. My Taronga Park Zoo book arrived in the mail the same day we received the telegram.”

STOCKTAKE

Community book exchange headed for Killarney?

Jonathan O’Neill oneill.jonathan1@outlook.com

Killarney is one step closer to a dedicated library service, with Southern Downs Regional Council voting on what the library service will look like.

The town has long called for its own dedicated library service similar to the one on offer at Allora.

Survey results released by Council in March, reveal that a large percentage of respondents favoured a shopfront library in the town sooner rather than later.

However Manager of Community and Cultural Services at Southern Downs Regional Council, Michael Bell told Councillors in March that building a new library in Killarney would be a two to fouryear project.

“Constructing a building on a greenfield site, we’re talking anywhere from half a million to a million dollars just for construction, that’s not including operation,” Mr Bell said.

“Most respondents wanted a solution sooner rather than later, this is not an immediate solution”.

Councillors voted on recommendations

to establish a community book exchange in the interim at the Killarney Co-Op to provide a browsing collection of library items as soon as possible.

The CEO of the Killarney Co-Op told Council that the Board has agreed to host a community book exchange, with a suitable space available.

The implementation of the Regional Access Library Program as an enhanced delivery service to the Killarney regional community was also discussed.

This may include fortnightly drop off/ pick up of library items at a central, secure space, a fortnightly homerun to members, monthly pop-up services, and/or a quarterly outreach program.

In accordance with the Council vote on February 22, consideration and planning for establishing a Killarney Library shopfront will be undertaken.

The report issued to Council noted that damage to their reputation is at risk if clear ongoing strategic plans are not communicated clearly with the community.

The Killarney community has indicated concerns that establishing a book exchange will negate future opportunities for a branch library.

Support for "amazing" fundraiser in Ballandean

Selina Venier editor@thedailyjournal.ink

Organisers of the combined fundraiser between Ballandean State School, the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride and the Granite Belt Car Show were “amazed” at the public support of their school event last Sunday, May 21.

“It was a beautiful Sunday and the weather turned it on,” a spokesperson for the organising team said of their fourth time to operate from Ballandean State School, south of Stanthorpe.

“The cars and bikes were free to see and amazing.”

Selling out of some of their food offerings, the day was tipped as their “best ever” combined fundraiser with motoring clubs from as far as Brisbane and Warwick taking part.

Monies were also raised for “Movember”, the committee saying, “We're all pretty proud of our little community here. It’s a great school and an even greater community.”

SPER Suspensions

A 23-year-old man was disqualified from driving for driving on a SPER suspended licence in February this year, after police pulled him over for driving without his P plates.

The defendant had reportedly paid off the SPER fine recently, but his lawyer said “he didn’t read the fine print, which was that his licence was still suspended” after paying the fine.

At the time of offending, the man was

dropping his girlfriend’s car off to the mechanic.

He drives from Ballandean to Warwick for work, and Magistrate Virginia Sturgess recognised that the loss of his licence would be an inconvenience but told the defendant that “it’s a mandatory disqualification".

“The way the government does debt collecting, is if you don’t pay your debt, they suspend your licence,” Magistrate Sturgess said.

“If you had paid your debt on time, you would’ve just been ticketed for driving without your P plates.”

The man was fined $200 for driving

Dr. GAL: ON THE PULSE

An Apple a Day keeps the Doctor Away?

Much of our time as General Practitioners is spent counselling patients about diet and lifestyle interventions aimed at preventing the onset and progression of chronic disease. Modern life is obesogenic and diabetogenic: supermarket shelves as far as the eye can see replete with hyper-palatable, relatively cheap, and "instant"-variety ultra-processed foods. Not to mention the wafting aroma of fried chicken and french fries tempting us on the drive to and fro work each day. "Ultra-processed" has a fairly complicated definition, but for the purpose of discussion generally refers to soft drinks, packaged snacks (sweet and savoury), frozen foods, microwave meals, reconstituted meat products, and "instant" meals more broadly. What these products share in common is how they're produced - large-scale processing of industrially-derived food substances and food additives - highly calorific and increasingly menacing to human health.

A European Journal of Public Health article published last year reveals that ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption significantly influences cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and all-cause mortality. The authors went so far as to recommend actions to limit UPF consumption be incorporated into public health guidelines. More recently, a January 2023 article published in Lancet revealed "UPF consumption may be linked to an increased burden and mortality for overall and certain site-specific cancers especially ovarian cancer in women". The authors of this study performed statistical analyses on the UK Biobank, a large, long-term repository of biological data which follows around 500,000 volunteers in the UK. Indeed, what we eat has serious implications for our health: it's estimat-

ed that several hundred thousand cancer deaths each year can be attributed to insufficient fruit and vegetable intake.

Curiously, it's not just our physical health at risk from consumption of ultra-processed foods.

A study published earlier this month in Journal of Affective Disorders demonstrates an association between UPF consumption and higher rates of depressive symptoms, lower volumes in certain brain regions (mesocorticolimbic regions - associated with motivation and reward-seeking behaviour), and higher white blood cell count (a marker of inflammation).

So, what practical steps can we take to limit consumption of processed foods?

Let's start by eating closer to nature: fresh fruits and vegetables, seeds, nuts, wholegrains, fresh and frozen poultry and meat, fish, milk, yoghurt and eggs. These foods are dense in nutrients, fibre, vitamins and minerals and can actually result in a cheaper shopping trip in some cases. Wholefoods are often more nourishing and filling than processed foods; when purchased in bulk, the savings can be significant. In contrast, ultra-processed foods are often higher in salt, sugar, and saturated fat - scientifically formulated to be hyper-palatable and moreish - in some cases even activating addiction pathways within the brain. Some of my patients have set up raised garden beds with fruit, veggies and herbs in the backyard or on the veranda - a great way to eat closer to nature and get some exercise in at the same time!

Stanthorpe is blessed with an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables from local farms - what better way to keep the doctor away!

without his P plates.

SPER (the State Penalties Enforcement Registry) is a debt collection service for unpaid fines and penalties, which include infringement notices such as speeding offences, parking illegally, and toll evasion.

When offenders are charged in court, they are offered a choice between referring the fine to SPER or being given time to pay it within two or three months.

SPER is beneficial to those who are unable to pay within the three-month timeframe given by the court, particularly if their fine is quite hefty.

Another woman during the same day as the above defendant, was due to have her hearing for the same offence, driving while SPER suspended.

She had little confidence in how she would cope without her licence for a month and was unable to apply for a restricted workers licence.

Magistrate Sturgess gave her the option of fighting the charge by gathered information and sending it through to Police Prosecution but could not guarantee it would succeed.

The woman chose to adjourn her hearing in the interest of fighting the charge.

Out of Character

A 65-year-old woman was charged $150 for the “unauthorised possession of illegally shopped goods” which Magistrate Virginia Sturgess noted was “stealing, but a less serious charge of stealing".

The defendant’s lawyer representative commented that he hadn’t come across many charges like this but stated that in almost all cases he dealt with, this "indicates a cry for help".

The defendant was said to have some mobility problems, depression and had lost her home about three months ago to a house fire.

At the time of offending, the woman stole custom made earrings valued at $19.

She reportedly waited at the stand where the earrings were and took them when nobody was looking.

The defendant than paid for another item, before leaving with the earrings hidden on her person.

The earrings were noticed as stolen during stocktake, and CCTV cameras revealed who took them.

When the woman was confronted, she told police they were bought from elsewhere, but later admitted to the crime.

Letters to the Editor

Divided voice?

Dear Editor

I read your article on the Town & Country Journal dated 11/05/23, and some of your comments struck a chord and some didn’t. One that didn’t strike a chord was the piece on the Voice. Like or loathe Abbott, I believe he is right in that one will have to be of Aboriginal extraction to be allocated a position on the board of the Voice – that does make sense and is a solid given, is it not? Unless you’re a terrorist or a person of other evil persuasion, I believe we are all equal in this country. It is with this in mind that I’m in agreeance with Tony Abbott. What if the other nationalities of this country decided they too, wanted their own Voice? Some people are of the opinion that Aboriginal people are not represented in the constitution or “enshrined” in the constitu-

tion, I don’t believe I am either. I’m a third or fourth generation, born and bred Aussie of Irish and German heritage and take no back step when called or labelled a “white bastard” or progeny of a “colonizer”. I’m 74 year old, a retired electrician, worked nigh on 50 years on building sites, own outright everything and totally reject any suggestion that I’m a “white privileged colonizing SOB”. I regard the ½ acre of land I bought here in Ballandean as mine and will not accept any guilt or responsibility for what occurred back in 1770 or 1788.

If, as some say, Aboriginals are lacking true representation, then where did the billions of dollars allocated to Aboriginals through their “representative overseers” which used to be ATSIC I believe, come from? Billions of dollars has been allocated and yes, wasted, when filtered through different

“Aboriginal Organisations” run be people of Aboriginal heritage, and that is fact. Another bone of contention is the premise we’re on Aboriginal land. Well, there’s “if’s” and “buts” abounding there as well. I would beg your patience and indeed your indulgence with the following. We are considered to be “privileged white so & so’s”. Well, was it not those same type of “so & so’s” that liberated Europe twice and halted the Japanese invasion/occupation of this countr y? If the indigenous bodies leading this “charge to recognition” think they’re hard done by, well, they would’ve been a lot worse under General Yamamoto, Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Imperial Forces. This is factual history. It was well know he had no intention of retaining the indigenous population, but, did think the white population would, being enslaved, be advantageous, as he was well

aware of our farming, manufacturing abilities, our railway building expertise (Changi railway Thailand) and our wartime work ethic. The above is in no way meant to denigrate, it is to inform that there needs to be a “pause” of sorts and a revisit to the ramifications of this endeavour.

Anthony Albanese in my opinion is the most dangerous, convoluted PM we’ve ever had! He, and the buffoons he presides over, are on a journey to bring this country to its knees. The irrefutable evidence is there for all who “wish” to see. The millions/billions to be wasted on this duplicitous exercise, would be far better redirected to social housing, hospitals (for all), dams, infrastructure, medical science, and a proliferations of other urgent necessities. These buffoons are knocking down power stations (Blackout Bowen) before there is “full” replacement alternatives. To replace a 4-5 gigawatt/hour coal-fired or gas or nuclear power plant, you do indeed, need 600 –900 wind turbines all operat-

ing at maximum output 24/7 365 days per year, to match the above coal-fired plant. With the inherent debt from the now opposition, the “eye watering” deficits of this government, we are heading for an abyss.

By the way Olav, who gave the EU the sole right to determine emission levels here and elsewhere? They owe us. This 2030 target is ridiculous. Yes, Germany may have pollution, with 80 million plus in a countr y that fits into Australia 232 times and we have 26 million, I beg to differ. One has to regard the Labor Party in its true perspective.

I would hope, dear editor, you take the time to reciprocate to my correspondence and any criticism or aggrievance will be taken on board.

I do believe both of us have the right to our opinions – I think they call it democracy, albeit a vanishing entity in a seemingly woke world. Yours faithfully, Jeff Grimley.

Editor’s note: No doubt I’ll reply in due course.

The highest requirements of small to medium-sized farms are met in full by our 4-rotor tedders. Designed for all forage types, these machines provide you with optimum distribution quality and perfect crop take-up.

Reliable and durable

Our HIT Tedders work with precision and at the same time are very smooth running. This is thanks due to backlash free drive joints. The maintenance free PTO shafts and constant velocity joints ensure that the tines are precisely spaced to pick up and spread the forage perfectly uniformly. Wear remains low. The joints can be rotated in every position, eliminating the possibility of operator error.

They were their harmonic best on Sunday May 14 at the Queensland College of Wine Tourism, especially present for Mother’s Day, as Nine Year Sister’s melodic 2023 continues to go from strength-to-strength.

“Despite the cold weather starting to kick in, we’ve been busy, out and about performing live around the region,” the ladies told our newspapers this week.

“The last few weekends have been real highlights for us. At the end of April, we performed for the first time in Allora, at

Katie’s Cocktail Cafe and it was such a magical evening. It was a laneway dinner event and the way the place was dressed up was absolutely stunning. Fairy lights everywhere you looked, beautiful, coloured umbrellas suspended in the air above the long wooden dinner table … and don’t get us started on the food.”

Jennie and Emma said that night featured “three courses of deliciousness” and they will repeat the venture in Allora in October.

Tenterfield called in early May, the sisters saying its fast becoming their “second home”.

“We played at the Eat Street event and

once again, it was a stunning setting to be in,” Jennie said. “(There were) food trucks, fire pits, friends and a beautiful atmosphere. We had a fan rock up in a Nine Year Sister t-shirt and that really made our day.

The Mother’s Day offering might have been not in the presence of their own Mum but still, it was “full of love”.

“We felt the love from everyone there,” they agreed. “There was so much amazing feedback about our music and we were really happy to set the tone and provide the musical atmosphere for the event.”

Coming up, Nine Year Sister will be performing at Snowflakes

in Stanthorpe, at the showgrounds on July 1 and 2.

“This will be our third Snowflakes Festival, and we have a tradition of getting a photo with Marlay the yeti mascot, so that’s number one on our festival priorities,” Emma said.

Nine Year Sister have announced that they have a new album about to be released - a collection of their favourites and new pieces.

Launch of Food Van

SDIEA’s Hot Dog Van had its public launch at the Killarney Country Markets last Sunday (21st May), operated by SDIEA’s team of enthusiastic Business Trainees. This marks a significant milestone for the Trainees who have put much effort into planning, costing, and delivering this business exercise. It’s also a milestone for SDIEA with the launch of the ‘food van’ being a big step towards its long-planned ‘Social Enterprise’ arm. General Manager, Chiara Farrell, said “It’s great to see the Hot Dog Van out and about and trading commercially. The Business Trainees have managed a couple of ‘dummy-runs’ for our broader team on-site, which have been successful and a great learning opportunity for our trainees, who have all been involved in starting and managing a small business from scratch. I have tested the products and can say I am quite the fan of the ‘Chilli Dog’.”

Chiara continued, “Our Business Trainees will continue to operate the Hot Dog Van commercially, as time permits, and until they complete their traineeship in late July. We are currently recruiting for our Hospitality Traineeship to commence on 5 June, so our Hospitality Trainees will continue with this venture for the remainder of the year.”

Megan Harkin (Business Trainee Manager) said “The Killarney Country Markets were a great success for our team in running the van for the first time in public, despite the market patronage being down on normal numbers.  We had an unexpected run on the Brekky Dog, which sold out within hours. The Chilli Dog gave the ‘Classic Dog’ a good run for its money – so we have a better idea for catering quantities for our next run, which will hopefully be this weekend.”  More details on the SDIEA Facebook page.

What deems a park, a park?

Continued from page 1....

One of the Wilkinson Street callers to our newspaper on May 22 described the idea of the park being used as "green space" as "a crying shame", adding, "There's nothing here now but dirt. It will be grass that council is mowing."

The Warwick resident, who was at the 2015 meeting, said he is "disappointed".

“I’m disappointed that council can’t replace the equipment that was there and was old," he said. "I'm disappointed that the equipment is going all together. Arcoola Park has been used for years. Our kids, when they come home with the grandkids, use it … everyone in this street is in the same boat … they love going to the park with the grandkids.”

SDRC remain concerned about safety, as are residents. We asked the callers if they have seen people ignore the fencing that has been supplied by council to uphold safety

and this week’s callers said they had and they hadn’t.

Another Warwick local, who has consistently given voice to this concern of local parks, contacted us on May 22 asking this question of Council: “Who or what report deemed equipment dangerous?” … She went on to say that:“The photos of Arcoola Park prove that it is closed. There has been no decision on replacing equipment, there’s no money to replace it or no timeframe. This means the park is closed.”

“Council, at this point in time, has made no decision to close any parks,” SDRC Mayor Pennisi confirmed via email on May 20, before the equipment was removed on May 22 and in response to our reporting last week, that he said was "inaccurate" in terms of the headline of Arcoola Park closing.

“We do look for ways to optimise the land we own and will consider leasing of unused spaces, trying to gain offsets from them is a

conversation we are having at the moment," Mayor Pennisi further wrote in the email.

“What parks have playground infrastructure will also be considered at some stage. Ultimately, a decision on whether we have many parks with a swing set, or target some spaces with a cluster of offerings, will also be a decision that council will make at some stage.

“As an example, should we have a swing set or is it best to theme parks such as Australiana Park where there is a broader range of offerings?

“Ultimately it will come down to what the people prefer and what rate payers can afford.

“Our youth are the future leaders of our communities, and one thing is for sure that wherever we land with this, we must get it right for them.”

Just when it looked like the competition had settled down and a perfect round could be on the horizon, the rugby league Gods find a way to mess things up for everyone. While a majority found the Panthers to take down the Broncos without Adam Reynolds, the Friday night double header proved a skid mark for a lot of tipsters.

It started with the Dragons producing a miracle comeback with the very last play of the game to deny the Roosters in thrilling fashion.

St George Illawarra came into the game with a new coach after Anthony Griffin was dismissed, and turned it on for their fans in a bright showing.

As for the Roosters, they slipped to their third loss in a row, dropping them to 11th on the ladder, when many pundits thought they would be a genuine premiership contender.

The Wests Tigers really upset the apple cart after being defeated 20 to nil by the Rabbitohs last week to come out and defeat the Cowboys by a whopping 66 to 18.

It concluded with the Parramatta Eels blitzing a very underwhelming South Sydney Rabbitohs side by a 20-point margin.

If those form lines weren’t confusing enough, the week prior the Eels were defeated by Canberra, who themselves suffered a big loss to Manly at the weekend.

It’s made it very hard to get a sense of consistency from sides, particularly coming into one of the more busier periods of the year.

Now to throw another spanner in the works, teams this weekend playing in the shortened round will be without their State of Origin stars as we gear up for the big game on Wednesday.

The teams were announced earlier in the week and there was opinions as always on who was unlucky to miss out, and if the coaches picked the right teams.

Billy Slater has gone with a lot of in-form players in his Maroons side, with the likes of Dane Gagai and Kalyn Ponga noticeable omissions.

Brad ‘Freddy’ Fittler took everybody by surprise when picking Tevita Pangai Jr in his forward pack, and leaving out form Rabbitohs centre Campbell Graham, despite his outstanding start to the season.

Either way it promises to be an intriguing start to the series on Wednesday, with Adelaide Oval set to play host to the fixture.

You get the feeling there is a lot more pressure on New South Wales to come away with the win, as they don’t want to come into game two down 1-0 and entering the fortress that is Suncorp Stadium.

The Long Paddock with

Gerard Walsh

Everyone talks about the winters on the Southern Downs and I deliberately took a photo of some short grass near the sheds and there is virtually no growth from 76mm rain a few days earlier.

The ground is too cold to grow grass where it is short, a bit more grass is coming amongst the long grass.

The reality is winter rain might bring a sheep pick but not enough for cattle.

The photo I took for this week’s column shows our old woolshed and cow bales and a couple more modern sheds behind.

“Our cow bales were probably built in the 1920s and the woolshed in the 1940s.

The woolshed was put back into use about 1980 for a decade but for some time in the late 1980s and early 1990s, we got our sheep shorn at the TAFE College.

TAFE wanted sheep for students to shear and wouldn’t charge us the shearing costs, we only had to pay the transport.

The truck driver from TAFE, either Lex Brackin or Ray Scotney, would muster our sheep as well from a close paddock, great at a time I had a fulltime job.

Saturday May 20 saw a good

contingent of ladies take to the course to try to qualify for one of our prestigious honour board events, The JD Rowland. Although the eventual title is a gross event, the trophy of the day was a nett trophy. Mary Young and Judy Lester took that one home, on a countback from Melanie McLennan and Jill Barnes all with 72 nett. Ball in the rundown went to Michelle Wright and Gwen Mills had 74.5, Anne Lyons and Trish Bell 78, & Liz Cockram and Narelle Norris 79.5.

The qualifying teams for Sunday were Melanie and Jill, Judy and Mary, Liz and Narelle, & Michelle & Gwen.

Sunday May 21 saw the qualifiers for the JD Rowland, play the semi finals. Melanie and Jill proved too good for Michelle & Gwen, taking the match on the 14th hole 6/4. Gwen and Michelle played consistent golf, but not good enough to beat the birdies that Jill and Melanie were achieving.

In the 2nd match, Mary 7 Judy played consistent golf making Liz and Narelle work hard for their win. They managed to par most of the par 3’s, so that kept them in the game well. Liz and Narelle came out the eventual winners, when even a ball in the ditch didn’t dampen their spirits.

The final will be played next Sunday May 28.

On Friday May 26 our Women’s Pennent team will play Pittsworth and City, we wish them all well, as they continue their great start to the Pennent Season.

Paix Engineers Warriors’ success

Glyn Rees editor@thedailyjournal.ink

Livewire halfback

Brayden Paix played a crucial role in the Wattles Warriors comprehensive 40 - 16 winning result over the Goondiwindi Boars at Clifton’s Platz Oval on Saturday, May 20, his side now resting in sixth place on the Toowoomba Rugby League Hutchinson Builders A Grade premiership ladder.

Paix’s scheming and organisation was central to the ‘Stillwater Pastoral Company’ Warriors returning to the winner’s podium after a frustrating start to the 2023 season that has seen them, a more than capable outfit according to coach Travis Burns, with just three wins from five outings coming in to the Goondiwindi clash.

“It was a very important game for us,” said Burns, “We needn’t a win to be heading in the right direction up the ladder and lift our confidence.”

Wattles lost virtually on the bell in the previous week to Gatton at a wet Cahill Park, and were expecting another more than challenging contest against

the Boars on their way to a clash with the undefeated ladder leaders Valleys next weekend.

It was a massive day of rugby league on Saturday on Wattles home turf, the home club juniors up against Warwick’s Collegians in all grades from 8am until the senior club fixtures kicked-off at 3.30pm.

It was a clean sweep in the Warriors senior ranks, with the ‘Black Toyota, Warwick’ Under 19’s winning 38 – 16 prior to the ‘Tony Morris Tiling’ Reserve Graders returning to the winner’s circle after a lone season loss last week to defeat Goondiwindi overwhelmingly 48 – 6.

Wattles were in top gear early in the main game to hold an 18 – 0 lead after 20 minutes through tries by fullback Matt Christensen in the very first minute of play, front row bookend Mitch Duff and the first of two touchdowns to winger Mitch Bourke.

Fleet of foot centre Austin Jennings crossed minutes before the half time siren to have Wattles ahead 24 – 6 at the break, the Boars sole first stanza try by slippery three-quarter Garry Prince.

The Goondiwindi outfit presented better in the second half,

however their two touchdowns, one by centre Malcolm McGrady ten minutes into the new half and a second by Prince with full time looming did little to halt the green and gold onslaught.

Wattles crossed for three four-pointers in the second forty minutes, Bourke and Jennings cashing in to complete doubles and Brayden Paix in the 54th minute.

While Paix shone throughout, vice-captain and centre Nick Van Der Poel was also among Wattles’ best, while coach Burns praised the effort of his forward pack throughout the game.

Wattles 40 (Mitch Bourke 2, Austin Jennings 2, Matt Christensen, Mitch Duff, Ty Gardner tries Braydon Paix 6 goals) defeated Goondiwindi 16

(Garry Prince 2, Malcolm McGrady tries Malcolm McGrady 2 goals)

Reserve Grade

Wattles 48 (Josh Henry 3, Tim Hentschel 2, Dale McAntee, Will Manley, Jack Duggan, Tom Henry tries; Jordan Henry 6 goals) defeated Goondiwindi 6 (Levi Sharpley try; Jordon Anderson goal).

Under 19

Wattles 38 (Aiden Suhan 4, Lachlan Clements 2, Chris Watt, Hamish Gartery tries; Koby De Luca 3 goals) defeated Goondiwindi 16 (Ethan McGrady, Emerson Harris, Ayden Bate tries; Heath Green 2 goals).

Wattles are on the road on Sunday taking on the Valleys Roosters in all grades at Toowoomba’s John McDonald Sports Complex.

The Warriors and Valleys both share top of the table status in the Under 19 and Reserve Grade competitions, while the Roosters are clear leaders after five rounds in A Grade and Wattles, coming off their one-sided win over Goondiwindi, are banging on the door of the elite top five.

Due to the lack of run on the scores were a little modest and continuing the run of five for the month of May, there were five players on 35 points.

After the count back, Grant Ollerton came out on top with Geoff Lee taking 2nd spot. David Hynes, Mal Crawford and Darrell Bain received a ball each in the run down.

You guessed it,, there were also five players on 34 points who also received a ball each, they being Trevor Malone, Wayne Foster, Jesse Ollerton, Danny Lyons and Ray Dudley.

I guess I could use poetic licence and say there were five players on 33 points fighting for the last two spots in the run down, but alas, there were only four and the c/b winners were

Evan Pfeffer and Don Iedema.

The Pro Pin 13th had Josh Manwaring collect $30, Garry Adcock $25(which will go into his Melbourne Cup account as he has assured all who want to listen that he knows the winner at this early stage) Evan Pfeffer $15.

Nearest the pins, 5th Paul "Cattle Baron"Dautzenberg, 7th Geoff Lee, 9th Don Stewart,

11th Charlie Morrison and 16th Daffy Hynes.

After a recent lesson, Rick Mills was asked by Troy to call into the shop and he would give him a little something that he felt would be beneficial to him. He was given the phone number for Southern Downs Bowls Club.

Golfing latest in Stanthorpe

Stanthorpe golfers completed their club championships with the third and fourth rounds being played on Saturday 20 and Sunday May 21. In conjunction, an individual stroke event was played on both days.

Saturday’s event was sponsored by Chris Fittock Plumbing and Gas and we thank Chris for the day. Men’s winner was Eric Ree after he returned the best nett score of 75 on the day. Danny Folkers was one shot adrift on nett 76 for runner up. Although the scores seem marginally high, there were some tricky pin positions which kept the attention of most players. Marie Cook was the winner of the ladies’ event, her

score of nett 76 was one better than Lisa Stuart on nett 77 for runner up.

Sunday’s event was played under rather difficult conditions, what started as a fine sunny morning soon turned into a cloudy and at times very windy day. Sponsor’s for Sunday’s event were Alan Kerr and Dale Minchenton and we also thank them for the day. Men’s winner was recently endorsed club captain, Brad Silver, with a nett 72 for the round. Runner up went to Barry Hughes also with a good round, nett 73 for the day. Nikki Waterworth had the best of the ladies with a very good score of nett 75 to win the ladies’ section. Runner up to Helen Jones with a nett 80.

The completion of the day’s event was also the finish of the club’s single championships which was played over four rounds. A

special thank you to Greg Carey and Maria Carey for being the sponsors of the club championships, and especially for being present at the end of the competition to hand out prizes to the winners.

There were plenty of winners as the event had three grades in both men’s and ladies’ sections as well as Vets and Junior winners. The ladies’ overall winner for the year is Marie Cook. Nikki Waterworth collected the overall best nett prize. Grade gross score winners went to Lisa Stuart in ‘A’ grade, Lyn Ludlow best in ;B’ grade and Lorraine Evans, best in ‘C’ grade. Vets winner was Helen Jones.

The men’s event finished after some very competitive play by those in contention. In the end,

there was only one club champion, that going to Matt Waterworth. It’s not the first time that Matt has won this event but it has been some years since he did win the event. Best nett score after four rounds went to club captain, Brad Silver.

In ‘A’ grade, Brendan Barker had best gross and Matt Penn won the best nett. ‘B’grade gross winner went to Danny Folkers and nett winner to Barry Jones.

‘C’ grade gross winner was Rod Werner and nett winner to Barry Hughes. Vets winner was Scott Constable with Keith Jones collecting the best nett score. The final awards were for the junior players, Hamish Adam having best gross and Andy Burgess having best nett score. Interesting that both these players competed

in the ‘A’ grade section of the championships.

The single championships are now complete for the year, all the winners will have their names permanently engraved on plaques and cups for future reference. All club members might start thinking about future club championships through the years with men’s, ladies’ and mixed foursome coming up later in the year.

Next Saturday, May 27, will be a medley 4BBB stableford event and will be sponsored by club members, Lisa Stuart and David Stuart. Being the end of the month event, there will be a shot gun start at 12noon. The time sheet is on the board for all players to nominate a spot in the event.

Cowboys down to Souths

Gerard Walsh sports@thedailyjournal.ink

After five successive wins, the Warwick Cowboys lost 32-8 to Souths in the Toowoomba Rugby League A-grade game at Gold Park on Sunday May 21.

Coach Col Speed said his side lacked enthusiasm and energy in the game.

“Our preparation was poor but I knew Souths would be tough,” Speed said.

Hooker Harry Sullivan was the players’ player and centre Joe Fuimaono as strong as ever.

Warwick went into the game with prop Damian McIntosh battling the flu and

lost fellow prop Byron Creighton in the first minute with injury and then fullback Lachie Gee later in the game.

Outside backs Jake Speed and Tyrelle Ross scored for the Cowboys.

McIntosh played his second game for the Cowboys after transferring from Brighton Roosters in Brisbane and travels from Redcliffe to play.

He has now linked with the Cowboys and received two points in the players’ player voting in the win against Dalby which gave the Cowboys five wins from five games.

McIntosh was impressed with the Cowboys win against Dalby.

“We showed a lot of com-

mitment,” he said.

Nick Pails also plays in the front row and is in his first full season in A grade after playing reserve grade last season.

Originally from Wheatvale, he played juniors with Wattles. He now works as a cabinet maker.

“The goal is to make the finals and go all the way (to the grand final),” he said.

Coach Col Speed said McIntosh added a new dimension to the team with his height, athleticism and ability to upload the ball.

“Nick is a workhorse in A grade who is improving each week,” Speed said.

“He was tough and courageous against Souths.

“Dan Conn came back

from work commitments and played well off the bench at prop in the game on Sunday.”

The team is still without forward Darryl Eperia who was injured in the Toowoomba Clydesdales 47th Battalion win.

Warwick won 24-22 in reserve grade but lost 16-14 in the under-19 grade after the game was called off 20 minutes early after a serious injury to a Souths player.

Reserve grade: Warwick 24 (Corey Stewart, Sam Dacian Raumati, Damien Beresford, Matthew Henry, Senio Tuala tries, Matthew Henry 2 goals)

d Souths 22

Under 19: Souths 16 d

Warwick 14 (Lachlan Collins 2, Jeffrey Ross 1 tries, Jamaine Smith goal)

Pentathrun weekend

Gerard Walsh sports@thedailyjournal.ink

There are almost 300 nominations for the whole five events in the 21st annual Warwick Pentathrun this weekend, May 27-28.

Overall, 500 athletes are nominated in at least one event.

Nominations will be open online right up to the start of each race and will be taken by officials in the 45 minutes before the start of each race.

The first event at

6.30am Saturday is the Black Toyota Half Marathon which starts outside the YMCA in Warwick and goes to Yangan.

Race 2 is the Steed and Step X Country on 4.5km of the eventing cross country at the Warwick Horse Trials facility at Morgan Park at 11.30am.

The Graham Buchner Memorial Run will be a 5km run out and back from the Sandy Creek Hotel at 2.30pm after which there will be presentations for races 1-3.

On Sunday morning, the popular Queen Mary

Falls Café Ascent will be a 10km uphill run from Killarney to Queen Mary Falls at 6.45am.

The final race is the Optimise Health 1500m which traditionally attracts the most competitors.

It starts at 11am at the band rotunda in Leslie Park and is an out and back course along Albert Street run in separate races for children and adults.

Presentations for races 4-5 will be after the 11am race.

The five races make up the marathon distance, 42.2km.

United improving

Gerard Walsh sports@thedailyjournal.ink

United might be yet to win a game in the Stanthorpe men’s football competition this season but coach Brad Rub said no one should write them off.

“We are improving each week and getting used to the speed of the men’s game,” Rub said.

“Seven of the players are up from colts last season.”

The team is one of the

youngest in the competition with only two players over 25 years of age, goalie Justin Kneen and striker Dylan Politch.

“Justin and Dylan bring confidence to the boys,” he said.

The team also includes six Pacific Islanders who are working in the Stanthorpe area.

United train Tuesday and Thursday at the International Club grounds next to the Stanthorpe Showgrounds.

“We did a lot of fitness training pre season. They have all good heads on their

shoulders and I believe they can still make the top-four this season.”

On May 20, Ballandean beat United 3-0 in the men’s game after a close result the weekend before when City led United 2-0 at halftime before winning 3-2.

United football players: Clancy Toms, Keegan Paulsen, Dylan Politch, Liam Johnston, Rielly Beckett, Toby Temple, Justin Kneen, Oki Tonda, Collin Dwayne, Eric Takila, Fernando Soares, Alastair Stewart, William Halliday, Ryan Burgess, Kodi Hart.
