Golden child of the Southern Downs

New owners for historic Maryvale hotel Krista Bjorn krista@smallnewspaper.com.au

M

ark and Jacki Wuersching didn't plan to buy the Maryvale Crown Hotel when they moved back to the Southern Downs in February to be close to family, but when the opportunity arose, they couldn't resist.

"We moved here to be closer to family," Jacki said,

explaining that they'd run a thriving motel and restaurant in Mundubbera before moving to area, "and to have some time out, but that didn't last. Because of the housing shortage, we had to move three times, so it's been a hectic six months. But apparently, even doing all that we managed to get bored. I think that once you've had your own business, it gets in your blood."

They bought the historic

hotel and immediately set about scrubbing it from top to bottom, planning menus, and getting everything ready to open on Wednesday 3 August.

"It just fits the way we do business," they said. "The country food, a professional approach, and high standards.

Council plan to manage foot-and-mouth Elizabeth Voneiff editor@thedailyjournal.ink

A

plan is shaping up to manage the possibility of an outbreak of foot and mouth disease (FMD) on the Southern Downs.

Dr Kirsty Short from UQ's School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences said it might be one reason why children's immune responses have so far proven more effective at avoiding and fighting COVID-19.

Children have a lower COVID19 infection rate and milder symptoms than adults, but the reasons for this have been unknown. The study indicates that the lining of children's noses has a more pro-inflammatory response to the ancestral SARSCoV-2 than adult noses.

It's a different ball game when it come to the Omicron variant.

The research team exposed the samples of nasal lining cells from 23 healthy children and 15 healthy adults to SARS-CoV-2.

The results showed the virus replicated less efficiently in the children's nasal cells, as well as a heightened antiviral response.

Significant art workshops coming up The Warwick Artists Group will be holding two workshops in September and November at their location in 21 Willi Street, Warwick.

The first workshop will be themed “Streetscapes” and will feature Barry and Lucy McCann, both award winning artists from Armidale, NSW. 24-25 September (Saturday and Sunday), 9-4:30 pm, members only early bird $254, non-members $284. BYO lunch.

The second workshop on “Drawing your pet” will be hosted

by Deb Mostert. Mostert, Deb’s contemporary art practice is 30 years young and involves drawing, painting, public art and small sculpture.

Deb’s work has been built around the search for collected personal objects and curated public museum collections which can become metaphors for shifting memory, collections, and value.

November 19-20, 9 am - 4 pm; members only early bird $230; non-members $260; BYO lunch.

The pilot was able to land on the highway, which had been closed by emergency services.

The driver and sole occupant of the road train had been trapped in the cabin of his vehicle, before being released by Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) and Queensland Fire and Emergency Service (QFES) crews.

Once on scene, the aeromedical crew met with local QAS paramedics to

Police intercepted a vehicle on Greenup Street, Texas, for a roadside breath test on August 7, and located 30grams of cannabis inside the vehicle.

The property was seized for destruction and the 37-year-old man from New South Wales made admissions to possessing the cannabis and was dealt with in accordance with drug diversion provisions.

The gift of an apple harvest Krista Bjorn krista@smallnewspaper.com.au

A

few weeks back a lovely woman from Stanthorpe sent me a message asking if I wanted any apples. I was thrilled and responded with a grateful and excited yes.

We arranged a time to meet and, on a drizzling, bitterly cold morning, I loaded my car with bags and drove up to her family farm. We visited happily about all sorts of things while exploring their orchards, cuddling their dogs, and filling my car to bursting with gorgeous apples. The drive home never smelled so good.

Since then I’ve been up to my eyeballs in apple deliciousness, and not complaining one bit.

I juiced a bunch of them, freezing some straight away to be sipped cold on hot summer days, boiling some for hours to turn into luscious apple syrup that can be poured over pancakes and waffles, stirred into a

hot cup of tea, or added to sparkling mineral water for a refreshing drink.

I also simmered some with cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and ginger for spiced hot apple cider to delight my Canadian heart. As a child living in the frigid climes of the Canadian north, hot spiced cider was my favourite drink. I loved the scent of spices and apples that made even the darkest winter days feel like Christmas.

This week I’m tackling the

Granny Smith apples, peeling and slicing them to freeze for baking and dry for snacking.

After an inspiring interview with Graeme Sait from Nutrition Farming® this week, I’m going to follow his lead and use all the peels as well. I’ll be drying them until they’re crispy then grinding them to a fragrant powder to be sprinkled in smoothies, on porridge, and whatever else would benefit from a blast of apple-y goodness.

Then I’ll get back to the Pink

Lady apples and make spiced apple sauce, sage apple jelly, and a huge batch of apple cider vinegar.

Finally, I will celebrate the end of the apple harvest gift with a big bowl of my Danish grandmother’s æblekage. It translates as “apple cake” but it really isn’t a cake, more like a trifle with layers of caramel-y breadcrumbs, cookie crumbs, or oats, and stewed apples and cream.

When I lived close to my grandmother, I would visit her and my grandfather every week for a good chat over coffee and something sweet. Æblekage was always a favourite, luscious spoonfuls that went down easy and weren’t too sweet.

Danish Æblekage Ingredients: 1 kg apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1 Tbsp water ¼ cup brown sugar 50 g unsalted butter 2 cups breadcrumbs or cookie crumbs or oats ½ cup brown sugar 300 ml whipping cream 1 Tbsp dark chocolate, grated Directions: In a large saucepan add apples, water, and brown sugar and simmer about 10-15 minutes until apples are tender. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

In a large frying pan, melt butter over low heat, then add second amount of brown sugar and stir gently until for several minutes until sugar and butter have caramelized. Add bread crumbs or cookie crumbs or oats and stir until they are golden and toasted. Watch carefully and stir often so they don’t burn. Pour into a heatproof dish and set aside to cool.

When you’re ready to assemble the æblekage, whip the cream.

In a large serving bowl, place half the apple mixture into the bottom and spread out evenly.

Add half the toasted breadcrumbs and spread out evenly.

Repeat.

Top with the whipped cream and sprinkle with grated dark chocolate.

Serve immediately or chill until ready.

Allora leads the way

Gerard Walsh editor@thedailyjournal.ink

A

llora Regional Sports Museum president Peter Cronin said it was unique for a town the size of Allora to have two Commonwealth Games gold medallists.

Matthew Denny won the discus with two personal best throws. All his six throws were more than 65m and he beat the silver medallist who had a best of 64.99m by more than 2m.

Laura Geitz was the first Commonwealth Games gold medallist from Allora when she captained an Australian team which won gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

“No one can dispute Matthew and Laura are from Allora,” Cronin said.

“There was a national competition to find the town/city with the most sporting legends and I wish I had entered Allora as

Townsville won with one legend, Cathy Freeman.”

While Denny went to primary school at St Pats, both he and Geitz spent some years at Allora State School.

“There is a lot of interest at the state school in sport led by Roy Nott,” Cronin said.

Speaking to the Daily Jo u r n a l from Birmingham, Denny said the gold medal was very special and a new career highlight.

“I was switched on and focused for the final and happy I was so consistent, I was confident going into the final,” he said.

Now he will look forward to competing in the Paris Olympics in 2024 and the Commonwealth Games in regional Victoria in 2026.

“I might bring back the hammer for 2026, potentially I could

do both,” he said.

“It will be great to have two Commonwealth Games at home in eight years.”

In the 2018 games at the Gold Coast, he won silver in hammer and was fourth in discus.

Denny said he knew his hometown Allora was backing him at the games.

“I have a great support network, the people of Allora have been so supportive and I know they will be proud of me,” he said, “I will be carrying my medal in the closing ceremony.”

His fiancée Mia Cunningham and her sister Sue-Ellen Cunningham were at the games to watch.

Cronin said the younger generation of Allora athletes were now starring including swimmer Will Gilmore and the Harm siblings.

“Molly Harm is doing well in netball and Bailey, Cooper and Chloe Harm in swimming and a bit of athletics,” he said.

Council plan to manage foot-and-mouth Continued from page 1 According to sources, Council is working hard behind the scenes to address the threats.

There are several biosecurity threats including, of course, the issue of tourists and travellers bringing one of these devastating diseases into the Southern Downs. The Warwick saleyards are a high-threat site and biosecurity measures may have to be implemented there.

In the Scenic Rim last week, a paddock to plate festival that

saw flocks of visitors arrive on rural properties caused last-minute panic. Rural growers ended up interviewing and recording all visitors to determine whether they had been overseas in the past weeks before allowing them onto their property.

But unwary visitors are not the only issue. In the Southern Downs, wild dogs and pigs will easily spread any infectious disease from property to property whether there is rigid lockdowns in place or not.

The Town and Country Journal understands that Council may be forced to consider how best to reduce or eliminate feral animals on the Southern Downs before any infections arrive if they do. The State government has promised to boost Queensland's coordinated feral pig control capability.

Agriculture on the Southern Downs is the largest contributor to the shire's economy, adding nearly $800 million a year.

Events like this year's Ekka will

not only be breeding grounds for human disease like COVID and influenza, but they also have the potential of spreading FMD between show stock.

The State government will employ 10 additional frontline biosecurity officers across regional Queensland and increase support for the emergency animal disease preparedness team.

More on this developing story will be available in Friday’s Daily Journal or Stanthorpe Record.

Making friends with bacteria Krista Bjorn krista@smallnewspaper.com.au

A

nyone wanting to learn how to ferment foods for their gut health can learn from Pozieres author and speaker Valerie Pearson at the Stanthorpe Eco Expo on Saturday 3 September.

“Valerie Pearson is on a mission to bring good food, simple living and good health to people,” organisers said. “Through her workshops and her books, Valerie teaches the skills of making gorgeous handmade cheeses, delicious sourdough breads, sensational sauerkrauts, crunchy kimchi, fabulous lacto-fermented foods, home preserves, soaps, beeswax wraps and natural mineral cosmetics. She is a passionate advocate for living a sustainable, self-reliant lifestyle.”

Ms Pearson is the director of Green Living Australia which sells equipment and books to guide beginners on their self-sufficiency journey to become accomplished at making their own home made foods. At the Eco Expo she will be teaching participants how their digestive system works and how to make a simple mixed vegetable ferment.

"It's not hard to make a ferment and it's not expensive,” she said to the Stanthorpe Record.

"Everyone gets to taste and then we'll talk about how to incorporate these things into our daily life."

Ms Pearson is devoted to educating people on the importance of making friends with bacteria to support optimum health.

"We can’t live without bacteria,” she said.

“Every day we should be consuming something that is bacteria-driven. As you continue in that, you'll find gut issues will fade, and then one day you'll wake up and those issues are gone."

Although a strong proponent of nutrient-rich fermented foods, she cautions people against

seeing them as a quick fix.

“You didn't wreck your system in a day,” she said, “so you won't fix it in a day. This is a lifestyle choice.”

Ms Pearson teaches food-related workshops every weekend, showing people how to make sourdough bread, low-sugar preserves, cheeses, sauerkraut, and more.

"I do 2-3 events a week,” she said. “I leave Stanthorpe every Thursday and teach classes and then I come back to my little patch of heaven and write."

She finds that while many people are excited about making fermented food, they get stuck when it comes to actually eating them because they don’t

know what to do with them.

“It just sits in their fridge because they have no idea what to do with it,” Ms Pearson said.

“So I give lots of ways to incorporate fermented foods into their diet.”

One of her favourite quick lunches is a slice of sourdough bread topped with homemade cheese and a dollop of homemade kimchi.

She also caters to a wide variety of tastes knowing that not everyone fancies the sourness of many fermented foods.

“My book includes recipes for a probiotic cheesecake and probiotic chocolate mousse,” she said, explaining that these recipes were developed particularly for her grandchildren. “I've tried to make the book palatable for a variety of people.”

Ms Pearson is currently working on her fourth book.

Vietnam not forgotten Selina Venier editor@thedailyjournal.ink

T

hose who fought and lost their lives or were injured in the Vietnam War will be remembered when the Stanthorpe RSL Sub-Branch and the the local Vietnam Veteran's Association gather on 18th August at 11am in Weeroona Park.

"One of the Stanthorpe RSL Sub-Branch core values is to preserve the memory of those who have and are still serving," a spokesperson said. "The SubBranch supports and sponsors activities that promotes and inspires the community in coming together with veterans and participating in commemorative events."

Australia’s involvement in the Vietnam War commenced in 1962. In the decade that followed, almost 60,000 Australians

served, 521 losing their lives, while 3,000 were wounded.

"On Vietnam Veteran’s Day, we pause and reflect on the

bravery, teamwork and endurance displayed by those that served in this conflict," SubBranch members agreed. "We also reflect on the impact of service has had on our veterans and their families."

Sub-Branch President Martin Corbett said: "The coming together, in the spirit of remembrance and thanks, has a very positive effect on both veterans and the community. We see involvement in these commemorative events as a very important part of our responsibilities."

Photo shows a former gathering in Weeroona Park with James Lister MP pictured and addressing those present.

W E AT H E R

Killarney memorial Killarney RSL SubBranch will hold a service at the Killarney Cenotaph on Thursday 18th August to commemorate Vietnam Veteran's Day. Killarney RSL SubBranch President Jim Simons said Vietnam Veteran's Day is held on the Anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan in 1966.

Where we remember the sacrifices of those who died and say thank you to around 60,000 Australians who served during the 10 years of Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War was Australia's longest military engagement of the 20th Century.

It's a day when we recognise all who served in Vietnam. We honour those veterans who: 1. lost their lives during battle 2. returned home wounded, ill or injured 3. lost their lives in the years since they returned 4. still carry the physical and emotional scars of their service We also pause to reflect on the impact of service on our veterans' families.

The service will commence at 11.00am with Southern Downs Councillor Marco Gliori as guest speaker followed by refreshments at the Killarney RSL Sub Branch Hall.

B

arnes Park is now partly used by the Warwick Netball Association for junior training and fixtures and carnivals.

The name Barnes Park comes from George Powell Barnes who was a member of State Parliament in the 1930s and a well-known businessman in Warwick at the time.

Originally, the name Barnes Park was for land now used for Warwick tennis and the Warwick East Bowls Club but then the name was moved to the park in Glennie Heights.

G.P Barnes built what is known as Barnes Building on the corner of King and Palmerin St in 1910 which is now occupied by Rivers and

other businesses.

He was pushing for the railway line to go to King St so he could unload his railway wagon of stock for his shop but it didn’t happen.

At the time, he also had stores in Killarney, Allora and Yangan.

Barnes Building at the time was regarded as one of the best in the Southern Hemisphere.

The name Barnes Park covers the area from Horsman Rd to Hawker Rd and also includes the lapidary club, potters and scouts.

The $50,000 cow Elizabeth Voneiff editor@thedailyjournal.ink

A

show heifer born to a local foundation dam has fetched a whopping $50,000 in a private sale recently.

NIOA Lucy, sired by former RNA Brisbane Royal Reserve Grand Champion bull Moonganna Karachi (P), has been purchased by West Australian investor Clinton Wheatley and will join a line of super cows being managed in a shared progeny deal with Rob and Lorraine Sinnamon's Kyogle-based Riverina Santa Gertrudis.

NIOA Lucy's mother is the much-celebrated Goolagong Lucy L103 (P) who was a successful foundation dam for NIOA's seedstock operation at Talgai Homestead at Allora on Queensland's Southern Downs.

Mr Sinnamon, who is teaming up with NIOA Pastoral for the NIOA & RL Pastoral Production Sale on September 1, said NIOA Lucy had created a benchmark for high-value Santa cows.

The three-year-old heifer was among an eight-strong RiverinaNIOA draft making a return to the Brisbane Ekka judging ring for the first time since 2019 after COVID19 forced the cancellation of the 2020 and 2021 shows.

"This would have to be up there with the highest money paid for a Santa Gertrudis female in Australia," Mr Sinnamon said.

"She's a superb homozygous poll example of a functional Santa Gertrudis female. You will go a long way to find a more beautifully balanced female with an ideal tropical coat type, tremendous volume and capacity."

"NIOA Lucy is now set to be extensively used through IVF to produce next generation Santa Gertrudis of the highest quality on our Kyogle district property."

NIOA Lucy is an example of the elite genetics that will be on offer at Talgai Homestead for the NIOA & RL Pastoral Production Sale on September 1.

NIOA and the Sinnamons have joined forces for the first time to present an impressive

catalogue, including 52 bulls from 14 industry-leading sires.

NIOA & RL Pastoral will hold pre-sale inspections with an open day at the Sinnamons' property, "Mayfield", Kyogle,

on August 20 from 10am-3pm while NIOA welcomes inspections by appointment.

Warwick Christian College Celebration On Wednesday 27th July, 15 years of Warwick Christian College was celebrated, honouring the pioneering men and women who made their dream possible. A spokesperson said “Thank you to all who braved the cold to celebrate with us. It was a fantastic night of fun, food, and reflection on what God has done these past 15 years.”

Warwick Christian College was the dream of founding Board Chair, David Brailey who worked tirelessly in those early days, joined by Owen Bonney and others, to establish an affordable Christian school for the families of the Southern Downs. On the 29th of January 2007, Warwick Christian College welcomed its first seven students. Since then, the College has changed location, added staff, started an SAS school for disengaged students, and has grown to just under 200 students from Prep to Grade 12.

Today the College is a key part

of the Warwick landscape.

With excellent facilities, dedicated staff, and where every student is known by name, valued and inspired, and challenged to succeed.

The dream of David Brailey has come to fruition.

“We thank God for his many blessings in the life of the College, and we look forward to what He has in store for us next.” Photos supplied were taken on the night.

In science we trust - not social media Elizabeth Voneiff editor@thedailyjournal.ink

T

he Southern Downs felt the full effect of mistrust in media, social media and science during the COVID pandemic and recent research has gauged general trust.

Three in four Australians believe there is now widespread misinformation in mainstream news, and nine in ten Australians think there is widespread misinformation on all topics on social media.

This is according to a survey

by Science and Technology Australia, recently released to the public.

However, Australians overwhelmingly trust in science and scientists and fear negative consequences for society if science is not respected.

The survey reveals Australians have very strong levels of trust in science - higher than in many other nations - with nine in ten saying we trust science and sci-

entists. Four in five Australians say they want to hear more from scientists about their work.

Three in five Australians believe that science scepticism will lead to more public health crises and greater division in society.

The survey also shines a light on public fears around science misinformation and a growing scepticism about scientific information shared in the media and on social media platforms.

Three in four Australians believe there is now widespread misinformation (on all topics not specifically on science) in mainstream news, and nine in ten Australians think there is widespread misinformation on all topics on social media.

Against that backdrop, the public level of scepticism around science has risen slightly from 25 per cent in 2021 to 32 per cent in 2022.

Science & Technology Australia is the nation's peak body representing more than 90,000 scientists and technologists.

Please talk to a farmer at Ekka Staff reports editor@thedailyjournal.ink

T

he State government is urging visitors to this year's Ekka to "hear farmer stories".

A media release from the Honourable Mark Furner, Minister for Agriculture and etc has announced that Ekka-goers "are being urged to make the most of the opportunity to connect with the people who grow the best produce in the world."

Minister Furner points out that the Queensland farming industry is forecast to produce more than $23 billion "in economic value this financial year" and contribute to 13 percent of the value of Queensland exports.

"I am thrilled to call plenty of farmers my friends," said Mr Furner, "and I hope Ekka visitors will take the opportunity to hear their stories and ask them how they are going" The media release did not include any specific details about how the public and farmers present at the Ekka would be connected for conversations, however, Minister Furner did point out that peak bodies AgForce and the Queensland Farmers Federation will be represented at the Ekka.

"Every farmer has a story, including hard work and innovation, and I hope more people take the time to thank them for their efforts and congratulate them on a job well done."

New owners for historic Maryvale hotel Continued from page 1 We want to make sure that people enjoy their time when they visit."

Mark is a chef and an Australian pro golfer and he'll be running the kitchen.

"It's going to be good classic country cooking," he said, "But I'm going to offer things that they haven't had here before.

The end goal is to be a food and wine destination with country food and country hospitality. We hope that people will feel really welcome here."

The re-opening of the Maryvale Crown Hotel was a great success.

"We had so many locals come down," Jacki said, "and they were so lovely and welcoming and supportive of us. We're excited to be part of this com-

munity and to bring tourists and travelers to this community."

They've been researching the history of the hotel, collecting tall tales and good yarns of the people and events that shaped

the building and the region so they can restore the historic charm of the place and make it a hotel that people love to visit and linger in.

They're also talking to locals to

get a feel for what they want to eat, drink, and experience at the Maryvale Crown Hotel.

"There's so much we want to do," Jacki said, "but you need to know what you're working with first. The building itself has a story. We're going to get in and get a feel for the place for the first couple of months. We want to be true to its heritage and continue that."

The Maryvale Crown Hotel is open from Wednesday through Sunday. Wednesday hours are 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., with all other days from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Pizzas are available on Wednesday and Sunday nights only, with a full pub menu available from Thursday lunch through Sunday lunch.

More bridge players welcome Contributed by Neil Bonnell

I

s there anything holding you back from taking lessons in how to play contract bridge?

It does take some effort to become proficient, but what worthwhile activity doesn’t?

Lessons are free and are being held on Wednesday mornings, but this can be changed if necessary. A handbook can be purchased for $8.00. To find out more, ring Neil on 0408 361 482. There is no gambling involved in the kind of bridge that we play.

On many hands, a comparatively low card can often hold the key to making a contract. On Board 9 from last Friday Claire Duggan and Leanne Munson (North/South) were the only pair to make 5D, which needed declarer to win eleven tricks out of thirteen. Try to guess which card before you read on.

Declarer has three potential losers: a spade, the Ace of hearts and a trump. Leanne (South) received the lead of the ten of

spades.

The Jack was played from dummy (North). On this lead it didn’t matter whether E played the Queen or a low card. If East played low, there would be no story. Declarer would discard the four of spades and dummy’s other two spades would disappear under the Ace and King.

If East did cover the Jack with the Queen and declarer won with the Ace the King could

then be played, dropping West’s nine. East would have no cards higher than South’s eight (the key card) and there would no longer be any spades in dummy.

Dummy’s remaining trumps would take care of any remaining losers in South’s Hand.

Work begins at Soldiers Memorial Krista Bjorn krista@smallnewspaper.com.au

W

ith the whirring of chainsaws and the scent of fresh sawdust, sick trees at the Stanthorpe Soldiers Memorial Park were cut down and chopped into manageable chunks for removal on Monday.

“Unfortunately, many of the trees within the park have outgrown their natural lifespan, with a fair number now showing signs of deterioration and posing a threat to public safety," Director of Infrastructure Services Gary Murphy said.

“The preservation of this memorial park is certainly a consideration in finding a solution but ultimately ensuring that it remains safe for the community is of overriding importance."

Council worked closely with the Queensland Department of

Environment and Science and obtained a heritage exemption certificate to remove 12 trees identified by an independent expert as requiring immediate attention.

A qualified arborist started the project on Monday and will con-

tinue until all the sick trees are removed and the park tidied to make room for new plantings.

The Southern Downs Regional Council will ensure that specific varieties of trees will be planted in accordance with the heritage exemption conditions.

11th August 2022

I

n the past week, I have had two reminders about the need to be vigilant when behind the wheel of a vehicle.

I was driving from the Warwick Industrial Estate back to the CBD and was negotiating the railway crossing near the intersection of Little Pratten and Lyons Sts when the car in front of me which was going really slow stopped at the intersection.

I was caught partly on the railway line, looked south west along the line and there was a train about 200m away.

The other car had moved well before the train came but there was plenty of room for me to go to the left and out of harm.

But it did remind me to not go across a railway line unless it is clear on the other side.

I was then heading on Yangan Rd to the office of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries at The Hermitage and saw a cyclist ahead right on the edge of the road.

There was no danger from me as I spotted the rider from 100m away but do admit I had just looked to the side of the road for a brief moment.

Yangan Rd is two lane but there is no bitumen on the side of the carriageway so the rider had to be on the edge of my lane.

It reminded me to be on the lookout for cyclists, they have the right to use the road as much as any motorist.

The Southern Downs is an area with a lot of cyclists. The other morning around 8am, I saw five cyclists, all in the same colour clothing, on the highway in Warwick who were out training in a group.

Years ago, I booked in for a defensive driving course at the Warwick State High School and admit I was rushing home from

The Long Paddock with Gerard Walsh

I was then late for a dinner in Dalby and after getting through the Oakey CBD, increased my speed on the Dalby side when the limit was still 60km/h.

Writing this, I must have had five speeding fines down the years as I was clocking doing too much on Coronation Drive in Brisbane.

I was at a Young Nationals function and heading to someone’s place for tea and coffee when the strong arm of the law picked me up.

I did have an address for the tea and coffee but was catching up to a driver in front going to the same house when pulled over.

Since then, I have been pretty careful with my speed.

The police vigilance and speed cameras have definitely slowed down the traffic as 40 years ago there was always an occasional car doing an estimated 150km/h plus on the highway.

Now you are passed by vehicles doing an estimated top of 120km/h at the most.

Cattle sale

Brisbane for the course.

On the other side of the gap, I overlook a vehicle and a car appeared from the other direction.

I was back on my side of the road 50m before the approaching car which had been in a dip when I overtook.

Goes to show the importance of seeing all of the road ahead.

I have since been very careful overtaking.

Speeding fine

My wife Margaret and I will have been married 20 years in September and my guess is I have gone through a speed camera 100 times and worried I might have been booked.

She gets a little tired on me

saying I might have been booked but haven’t had a speeding fine in those two decades.

From memory, my last speeding fine would have been on the Western Freeway in Brisbane in the 1980s or 1990s.

I remember I got fined nearby going up a hill near the Toowong Cemetery where it was 40km/h.

I was about to tell the officer I needed to keep up my speed for our Valiant Charger to get up the hill but then hesitated as it might have suggested to him that the Charger shouldn’t be on the road.

My first speeding fine was at 10pm one night in Wood St, Warwick, in the 1980s when I was clocked at 74km/h.

We have eight steers left in our feedlot paddock eating the final tonne of grain.

The aim is for the steers to finish the grain and then be sold.

We haven’t got any more cattle we want to put on grain at present and if we did, I would doubt we would do it with grain prices up and cattle prices not as high as earlier in the year.

The rest of our cattle are on supplements, a loose lick and a molasses-based liquid product.

I know many producers don’t overstock and do well without supplements but I believe if they eat the supplement they need it.

The problem with loose lick is in wet weather so we put out two blocks a week ago and the cattle hacked into the blocks.

At last, we have found a block they would eat.

“Usually about 6-8 per year in recent years,” they said. “Practice is every Tuesday during school terms at the Little Theatre.”

Tuesday practice times are

from 3:30 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. for young children and 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. for older children.

years, he acted as secretary to the Greymare Sports Club. At the age of twenty-eight, he was one of the first to enlist in the 2nd Light Horse Regiment, Queensland on the 14 August 1914.

Remarkable scenes were witnessed a few days after his enlistment, when a monster meeting with over 2,000 people was held in the Warwick Town Hall on the evening of Monday 24th

August 1914 to farewell the thirty-seven volunteers from around the district who enlisted in the Australian Imperial Forces at the start of the First World War. These volunteers must have felt overwhelmed by the appreciation shown by the crowd as they marched in a procession along Palmerin, Percy, Guy, Fitzroy Streets and back to the hall.

Less than eight months later Charles was a patient at the No. 1 Australian Base Hospital in Heliopolis where he died from measles and pneumonia. Charles and Trumpeter Norman Victor Foote 150 also from Ipswich, were the first two members of the 2nd Light Horse Regiment, Queensland, to lay down their lives for their country. They are buried in the Cairo War Memorial Cemetery, Egypt.

Charles' mother Mrs Sophia Alexander was a schoolteacher

at the Greymare State School when she received the sad news of his demise. She received some photographs and the following letter: Dear Mrs Alexander, I am sending you these three photos of Charles' funeral. I am sure you will like them. It was a lovely military funeral. We buried three men on the same day. Your son is on the middle gun carriage. The building in front is the Heliopolis Palace Hospital. The funeral is just about to start. The bodies were taken from there to old Cairo, a beautiful little cemetery, better known as a lovely flower garden. With deepest sympathy, Yours faithfully T.M. Browne.

Dearden’s biggest fans Gerard Walsh editor@thedailyjournal.ink

A

n uncle, aunt and three cousins from Warwick have their fingers crossed five-eighth Tom Dearden can play his first NRL grand final this season with the North Queensland Cowboys.

The Cowboys look like finishing second on the fixture table which will give them more than one chance to make the finals.

Tom played his first NRL footy at the Brisbane Broncos but has starred this season for his new club, the North Queensland Cowboys.

His uncle Chris Dearden from Warwick remembers going to Stanthorpe when Tom was a junior to watch him play for North Queensland at a state carnival.

“Tom is very happy to be at the North Queensland Cowboys, he is fitting in well,” Chris said.

“All of his family headed to Townsville this year for his 21st birthday party.

“I am confident they can make the grand final.

“I watched the Cowboys win against the Dragons and Tom set up two tries and was great in defence for the Cowboys.”

This year, Tom was in the Queensland State of Origin squad and had a starring role in the win in the decider at Suncorp Stadium.

A week before Origin, family members were in Palmerin St when Tom and the Queensland

Maroons visited the town as part of their annual fans regional visit.

Chris and Kathy Dearden and siblings Hadley, Will and Rose were at the Origin game after Tom said he wanted his whole family at Suncorp Stadium for

his State of Origin debut.

“Tom is very family orientated, he arranged tickets for 22 family members, we were very proud of Tom and proud to be Queenslanders on Origin night,” Chris said.

“The family knew he had it in him to play like he did in the decider.

“We are impressed the way Tom comes across to people, we enjoyed reading lots of stories about him, he has a great attitude to life.”

His Warwick cousins also play footy, Hadley plays lower grade rugby for Wests and Will plays Premier and Seconds for Wests after going to Perth when he left school on a Western Force scholarship. Cousin Rose has played netball.

Keen hockey players Sarah Monk Contributor

T

he U7s are a keen little bunch of hockey players, keeping coaches and parents on their toes.

They put in a lot of effort at the weekend and we saw some of them play up in the U9 competition and they really held their own! Great work to our “CondiSticks” players.

The U9s were once again under the guidance of Al Balfour and they are really beginning to understand the game and their passing and dribbling skills are improving out of sight each

week.

The Super Sixes U11 cup is well and truly under way and it’s anyone’s guess as to who will be in the finals come the 3rd of September.

This week Blaze took on Fire and had a convincing win of 5-2.

Thundersticks and Tigers had a tight game with a 1-1 draw.

Goal scorers for the games this week were Jack F, Will C (2), Fletcher M (2), Ryan K, Kobi M, Maha T and Hugo M. Good luck to all U11 players representing Warwick Hockey at Downy Park.

U11 Point score update: Blaze 8, Fire 8, Tigers 7 & Thundersticks 5.

The U13s games this week were played with determination and great sportsmanship.

A huge shout out to players in the Fire/Blaze game who showed what it truly is to be a great sport when they gave guidance and encouragement to players out on the field who were not as skilled as themselves.

These players should be highly commended as this is what our club is all about! Well Done.

Fire went down to Blaze 4-6 and Tigers defeated Thundersticks in a very close match 3-1. Lachlan G was the sole goal scorer for Tigers and Leo B scored the Thunderstick goal.

U13 Point score update: Tigers 28, Thundersticks 20, Fire 17 & Blaze 15.

Currently on Wednesday afternoons the local Primary Schools are taking to the field to prove which school is the best at hockey.

Schools taking part in the sixweek comp are Warwick West State School, Warwick East State School, St Mary’s Warwick, Freestone State School ,Scots PGC College and Killarney State School.

After 3 rounds of games the standings are: 1 West 2, 2 West 1, 3 Freestone, 4 St Mary’s 1, 5 Scots PGC, 6 St Mary’s 2, 7 East 2, 8 East 1.
