DON’T RISK IT

Leonie Fuge leonie@smallnewspaper.com.au

Thinking of knocking down that asbestos wall to save money, think again says Southern Downs mother of two, “it is not worth the risk to you or your children.”

After Kylie Campbell was diagnosed with asbestosis in 2020 at aged 45, she was sent home to ‘get things in order.’ Asbestosis is a chronic lung disease caused by exposure to asbestos dust that can take anywhere between 20 to 50 years to develop.

“It was the shock of a lifetime,” said Kylie who had no first-hand

experience working with asbestos. “It took me a long time to digest the information.”

Kylie had gone in for a routine scan as her iron was low and her fatigue was increasing.

“I’d been in to have a scan of my abdomen to see if there was a problem.

Councils get tick to plan housing

Elizabeth Voneiff editor@thedailyjournal.ink

In another summer of flooding, the State government is acting quickly to kick-start emergency housing measures and is asking local councils like the Southern Downs to get cracking.

The Premier on Sunday announced that there will be fast-track approvals for emergency housing needed following a natural disaster.

Temporary emergency housing will be able to be delivered in response to an event - such as a flood emergency - without requiring a planning approval.

Deputy Premier Steven Miles called it a

“basic need”.

“We have removed the need for planning approval for emergency housing in communities that have been affected by a natural disaster.

“The devastating flooding in parts of south-eastern Queensland in February and March left thousands of people without a suitable roof over their heads.

“These changes will give faster access to emergency accommodation during a crisis such as that.”

Mr Miles said the amendments came into effect today, ahead of the next disaster season.

“The recent forecast from the weather experts that the coming summer will be much the same as the last - which saw large

Tackle for the girls

Gerard Walsh sports@thedailyjournal.ink

The Warwick and District Junior Rugby League is looking into the possibility of playing girls rugby league next season. In recent years, the girls have played leaguetag in two age

groups.

President Peter Cavanagh said the league had sent letters to each leaguetag player this year and 46 had indicated a keenness to play tackle.

“We also sent the letter to all clubs and look forward to hearing from any new players,” he said.

“The league may even end up with tackle in one age

group and leaguetag in another age group.”

The program for the girls next season will be discussed at the league annual general meeting on November 12.

Cavanagh said the same clubs would be in the Warwick and District competition next season as in 2022.

areas of the state devasted by wild weather - makes this an important, timely change,” Mr Miles said.

“For example, state and local government could plan ahead sites where demountable housing could be put in – like showgrounds – to give people who have lost their homes in a flood an immediate, temporary housing solution.

“Importantly the amendments will also encourage councils to proactively identify suitable land within their local government area for emergency housing – so they can support their communities.

“Everyone knows natural disasters will come to Queensland – and more

regularly as the climate continues to change – so getting planning in place beforehand is crucial.”

Prospective police recruits will temporarily have their entry exam fee waived in an exciting proposal to encourage enrolment, create good jobs, and help aspiring recruits achieve their goal.

Police Minister Mark Ryan and

Commissioner Katarina Carroll today announced the $215 Queensland Police Service Entry Assessment and the $20 Physical Fitness test will be free for the next six months for all recruit-hopefuls

Pre-employment medical screening and assessment costs will remain applicable.

Minister Ryan said he was confident the decision to remove $235 of testing fees would further enrolment and create opportunities for more Queenslanders.

Kids with kin

A record number of Queensland children are being supported to stay with kin and communities,

according to the latest child safety data released today.

Minister for Children, Leanne Linard said as of 30 June 2022 nearly half of all children in care were placed with kin. This is up nearly one percentage point from last year, and significantly higher than a decade ago.

“Ten years ago, just 35 per cent of children were placed with kin. Today, that number is at 46.4 per cent. It means we’re keeping more children with relatives, friends or community members,” the Minister said.

Ms Linard said Queenslanders were continuing to step up when a family was unable to care for their children safely at home.

“More than 1,500 families have become carers for the first time. To those carers, we say thank you,” she said.

More shade for our kids

Elizabeth Voneiff editor@thedailyjournal.ink

Parents in the Southern Downs are rejoicing today as it is announced that the Queensland Government is again funding permanent shade to make kids sun safe while they’re running amuck in the playground.

Splendour in the windows

Elizabeth Voneiff editor@thedailyjournal.ink

Acall out to retailers of Warwick town to join in the historical floral window competition now underway. The Warwick Horticultural Society. This is your chance to awaken your creative spirits with spring blooms and participate in a regional ritual

that has been part of the local tradition for more than 100 years.

Entries will be judged on Friday, 28 October with entries closing at 5 pm on Thursday the 27th. Ring 4661 1414 for more information or pop into Brysons Place at 66 Palmerin Street.

The Daily Journal and the Town & Country Journal will publish photos of the winning windows in the edition following judging.

Funding for the shire and others nearby were made a priority for this round as recently released data demonstrates that children in these areas are recording higher than average sunburn rates compared to other parts of Queensland.

Skin damage can occur in as little as 10 minutes, without sun protection, which is why creating more shady spaces for young Queenslanders is vital to help reduce their exposure and skin cancer risk.

The SunSmart Shade Creation Initiative is led by the Queensland Government and Cancer Council Queensland and provides funding, up to a maximum of $25,000, for permanent, fixed (hard roof) shade, for not-for-profit organisations that cater to children 0-18 years.

Aramac State School received

funding in the 2020-2021 round of the SunSmart Shade Creation Initiative. Business Services Manager Mrs Emma Hay shared that the school was driven to apply when they noticed the sun damaged playground equipment and thought of the impact this same amount of sun could be having on their students.

“The playground equipment does not last. With the extreme heat and windy weather, our playground shade sail and fort were showing damage after less than a year.” said Mrs Hay.

“On hot summer days our teachers would close the playground because students would burn their hands.

“We also had our past staff member diagnosed with melanoma in 2017,” Mrs Hay recalled.

Faced with proof of the sun’s damage, Aramac State School Principal Tanya Bambling applied for the SunSmart Shade Creation Initiative in 2020, and on receiving the grant, was able to install a hard roof shade structure over the playground.

“As informed practitioners, we owe it to our kids to protect them from the harsh elements of the Queensland sun,” Mrs Bambling said.

“We now have permanent

shade over our playground, and I see the benefits of this structure every day, as our students and teachers enjoy their time outdoors, and in the shade,” Mrs Bambling concluded.

Skin cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, with sun exposure being the cause of around 99% of non-melanoma skin cancers and 95% of melanomas in Australia.

Applications for this round of the 2022-2023 SunSmart Shade Creation Initiative close at 12pm on 21 November 2022. To apply, complete the online application form on the Cancer Council Queensland website: cancerqld. org.au/cancer-prevention/programs-resources/shade-initiative/.

TRADES & SERVICES

with Olav Muurlink

CALL ME THE BUREAU

I haven’t done it for years, decades actually, but when I was young I used to tell my family “I’m going to change my name to…” This was partly related to my desire to amuse my family members, with a name that was even more preposterous than the one I was handed at my christening…but now I think it might have been related to a desire to shake off the name I was saddled with. You know, like BOM.

The Bureau of Meteorology clearly has bigger issues to deal with than its name— things like the greatest total rainfall falling in Sydney EVER…with three months still to go to put a wet icing on that record. I’ve referred to the Bureau as BoM in my scribblings over the years. But recently, very recently, a student referred to me in an email as Oval. An easy mistake to make. Elizabeth is a very good cook and I am definitely more oval than I was, say, a decade ago, when my diet was chiefly crackers, cheese and olives, and people were beginning to refer to me,

The gathering

concerningly, as O. But back to the Bureau and its desire to be called the Bureau. Like the FBI. Forensic, serious. It would add a nice ring to the current flood crisis. “Open up!”

(Bang! Bang! Bang!) “It’s the Bureau! You’ve got to evacuate!” Or “you are not James Bond. Do not drive into the floodwaters. Signed, The Bureau.”

For those of you who missed the story, the Bureau apparently hired consultants (price $220,000), changed its Twitter handles (it’s hard work unscrewing handles from Twitter; they probably had to go to Bunnings for a more powerful drill pack) and sent a sombre message to media outlets saying “stop calling me BoM, I don’t like it.” (Always a successful strategy; I found this out in the schoolyard.) Anyway, the idea went down like a, a…a…um…Bureau. A large wooden bureau filled with explosives.

Hundreds of women from all over Queensland will meet in Toowoomba in Late October until the 4th of November to celebrate 100 years of service to Queensland.

The Queensland Country Women’s Association (QCWA) Annual Conference will be held at the Empire Theatre, beginning with the Official Opening Ceremony at 8.30 am on Monday 31st October. Members and delegates - representing thousands of Queensland women - will attend to plan the way forward for another year.

Country Women are practical and hands on. Their skills, work ethic, care and pride in a good job well done are legendary. Ladies look forward to sharing and learning skills. Demonstrations and workshops will run over two days, focussing on cooking, handcraft, patchwork, floral art, knitting and crochet, sewing and Country Kitchens nutritious food and healthy lifestyle program. Participants will take new skills and renewed enthusiasm back to their communities as QCWA is experiencing a resurgence of interest in practical skills across the State.

The splendour of musicals

Since 2011 the Savoyard Singers have been performing annually in the Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery but in the temporary absence of the gallery space Robert Channon Wines offered them a venue this year. This is the final concert of 2022 at Robert Channon Wines slated for Saturday November 12th, for a musical trip through some of the most popular Broadway musicals.

There will be highlights from: “Hello Dolly”, “Man of La Mancha”, “Camelot”, “South Pacific”,

The messages may also contain typos and/or sender email addresses that are not related to Optus.

Size matters

With the increasing spread of online disinformation and misinformation, making judgements about what we’re presented with in the media is becoming increasingly important. A new research from UNSW Business School shows how people jumped to conclusions about studies with relatively small sample sizes during COVID.

Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, pharmaceutical and biotechnology company Moderna (MRNA) reported that its experimental vaccine was successful in eight volunteers. While only a small group of healthy volunteers were tested, journalists were quick to report the news, which was so well received that it drove up Moderna’s share price by 20 per cent.

Just hours after announcing the trial’s success, Moderna sold 17.6 million shares to the public, raising US$1.3 billion. While Moderna, and several of its top executives, profited off the back of the boom, some critics say it overstated the significance of the vaccine trial and manipulated the market.

Examples like these demonstrate that most people don’t

overthink the significance of a study’s size when making assumptions from articles they read in print and online.

“In other words, people’s general tendency to be unduly confident in conclusions drawn from tiny samples is incommensurate with statistical principles and can lead to poor judgment and decisions,” explains Dr Zhan.

So, in six experiments involving a total sample of 3914 respondents, she tests whether people pay attention to variations in the sample sizes, which vary by one or two orders of magnitude.

The findings reveal people pay minimal attention to variations in the sample size by a factor of 50, 100, and 400 when making judgments and decisions based on a single sample.

“Even with a sample size of three, participants’ mean confidence level was 6.6 out of 10, indicating that people have pretty high confidence in data from incredibly small samples, consistent with prior research,” explains Dr Zhan.

“As researchers, we realise that the same finding is much more believable from a sample of 3000 than from a sample of 30. However, shockingly, the general population does not appear to share this intuition,” she says.

Increased police presence for Rodeo

Leonie Fuge leonie@smallnewspaper.com.au

Warwick police are calling in backup to manage the influx of people to the region over the coming Rodeo weekend.

Acting Senior Sergeant Cameron Slater said, “There will be a strong police presence in and out of the rodeo grounds. We will get Toowoomba crews down to give us a hand, around 10-12 extra officers will be in town.”

The AS Sergeant joked that this was not his first rodeo and each year extra officers are called to attend what he described as the ‘biggest local event each year.”

“Generally the crowds are well-behaved each year.,” he said. “There are some low level public nuisance complaints,

especially when alcohol is involved. What we find is that locals will go to the rodeo and party on later.”

Previous years have shown that the most common rodeo weekend offences happen outside the showgrounds and on the roads with drunk driving charges.

“We will be performing random breath tests (RBTs) morning and night,” warned AS Sergeant Slater. “One of the problems is that people will have a big night at the rodeo and think they are right to drive the next morning. We breathalyse them and they are over the limit.”

Parking around the showgrounds will also be heavily monitored said the sergeant.

“There will be temporary no parking zones, no standing zones and street closures around the showgrounds.”

EVERYONE’S ENTITLED with Andrew

and people are dying every day. I’m also not forgetting the people who have suffered and lost loved ones, but as we stand right now, much of our lives here in our country have returned to normal. Well, normal-ish.

Gale

Acouple of years ago most of us had never heard the terms “Coronavirus” or “pandemic”.

To me, Corona was a tasty Mexican beer. Now though, I know a cold or flu virus is called a coronavirus because under a microscope it kind of looks like a crown. Corona means crown, so there you go.

I’d heard of an epidemic but not a pandemic. A disease outbreak that goes global is a pandemic. If it’s restricted to a single region, it’s an epidemic. Come 2022, however, we all know those words intimately

Yes, the impacts were bad. I know I never want to go through it again. Many places in the world are still suffering

Now, I’d love to moan about all the bad things that have happened to me from those aforesaid impacts. I admit, I’m an A grade whiner. Those who know me might unkindly say that if whinging was an Olympic sport, Andrew might not get gold, but he’d certainly at least get bronze. Maybe silver.

Instead, I’m going to try to put a better spin on it. Look for the positive. The silver lining.

So, besides improving our vocabulary, what benefits can we take from the last couple of years? What good stuff came out of the pandemic?

I can immediately think of a few things. Domestic and local tourism has benefitted and the way we do business, learn and communicate has seen a transformational change through the prevalence of Zoom and Teams meetings. That’s just a couple

of things.

One thing I really hope however is that we have a much bigger appreciation of the effects of respiratory diseases such as influenzas and how they are spread.

Believe it or not, in 2021, in the midst of lockdowns, facemasks etc, nationally, we only lost two citizens to influenza. The lowest death toll from a disease that is generally among the top 20 causes of death nationally.

Whilst I’m not suggesting we should lock ourselves down every-time someone coughs, I’m just saying that maybe this should be a reminder to do those things we learnt with COVID19 every flu season.

You know, clean our hands more often, sneeze into our elbows, cover your face or stay home if you are sick. Work from home if you have a sniffle. Those things.

After all, the people who generally suffer the most are the most fragile. Our elderly, the frail, the immunocompromised and so on. So, look after them.

And let’s all live long enough to get that card from the King.

That is how to celebrate

Leonie Fuge leonie@smallnewspaper.com.au

Killarney Co-operative Gala Centenary Dinner last Saturday night was the perfect celebration of 100 years in local business and service. The formal dinner was a

celebrity affair and hosted by five-time Logie award winner, Ray Martin, with special guest former Dolphin coach, Wayne Bennett. Former councillor Rod Kelly attended the evening describing it in three words, spectacular, beautiful and wonderful.

“That is how to celebrate a 100 year milestone,” said Rod.

“MC Ray Martin was quite a gentleman and far from retirement (his words), Peter Wickham sang his own composition on the Co-op’s centenary wonderfully well, the Ray Martin, Wayne Bennett interview as only Wayne knows how!”

The evening was described by guests as top-notch, with deliciously prepared and served meals that compared to any high class Australian restaurant.

“There was specially crafted beer from Victoria brewed especially for the celebration and arranged by Marissa,” said Rod. “Congratulations are in order for the organising committee, with General Manager Marissa Costello, Board Chair, Andrew Paterson, the directors, management and staff.”

Rod was thankful to be part of the history celebrating night and said he, “can’t wait until the 110 years celebration.”

Busy as bees: Council staff

Elizabeth Voneiff editor@thedailyjournal.ink

Pratton Street is finally sealed, despite a few disruptive rainfalls and silt has been removed from footpaths near the Condmine in Warwick. There are a few of the projects that the good men and women of the Council works crew have completed in recent weeks.

According to the highlights of the Infrastructure Services Report tabled in last week’s ordinary meeting of Council, repairs and maintenance big and small are ticking along. The Condamine River Road Crossings Tender has closed and

is currently being evaluated. Once executed, cameras, sensors and a range of other improvements to the scenic but troublesome road will be undertaken. CCTV equipment has been installed and testing and commissioning will be completed after the road has been reopened.

The installation of pumps at Leslie Dam to access dead storage is “running smoothly”. Planning for the next stage of Stanthorpe Streetscape inching along; the project has been active since 2015, disrupted by COVID.

Smart water metres are being installed in properties in the Granite Belt to allow better monitoring of leaks and patterns of water use. The data

platform has been established and metres will be installed from late October.

The ongoing wet weather continues to pose challenges to staff and the cost overruns with major projects is impacting fulfilment. A first quarter budget review will hopefully alleviate some problems with capital matters.

A detailed design of the Homestead Road Bridge is also in the works and proposed prefabricated bridge components have been ordered.

For cycle enthusiasts, a design is in progress for a cycleway in Mount Stirling Road, Glen Aplin and another in Rosehill Road, Warwick.

Information sessions around end-of-life and funerals

No one knows how you should say goodbye better than you and the ones you love. It was only seventy years ago, that we were taking a more active role in the funeral process. We were dying at home, often with our family around us. Nowadays we're led to believe that we need to call a funeral director to take our loved one away immediately after they have died and it is simply not the case.

Rest Funeral Services is a new local business with the goal to provide families with the information they need to make informed decisions about their own funeral and of their loved ones. They are encouraging and supporting families wanting to actively participate in a family led home funeral service by providing information and support when it is needed. That support can arrive before death by way of an End of Life Doula.

The Last Chapter is an End of Life Doula service offering physical, emotional and spiritual support for you and your loved ones on the end of life journey, whether that be at home, hospital, care facility or hospice. They can advocate for your needs and wishes in choosing an end of life that is meaningful to you. They want to gently encourage people to start thinking about the many end of life options.

The Conversation was started by a group of like-minded people working in the end of life space including an end–of-life doula, celebrants, and a new local funeral service, all committed to helping locals to open the dialogue on the topic of death, dying and funeral options.

The Conversation launched on the back of national “Dying to Know Day” which is an initiative of the Groundswell Project. The Groundswell Project works with individuals, organisations and communities to improve how people in Australia die, care, and grieve. “For our communities to take action, we

DON’T RISK IT

They accidentally found three tumours in my lungs. One was ten centimetres. They did a biopsy and I was diagnosed with mesothelioma from asbestos exposure.”

Kylie and her family were devastated and wondered how it could be possible, not only had Kylie not worked with the product, she was at least 30 years younger than most when diagnosed with the disease.

The medical professionals pinpointed Kylie’s time of exposure to when she was around 10 years of age due to the latency period of the disease.

After looking through old photographs, Kylie found a picture of herself as a child standing by a trailer full of asbestos –the results of a family home renovation.

“My dad was helping my older brother renovate his home. The trailer was full of Hardie planks,’” said Kylie.

Kylie underwent surgery on her lung to remove the three tumours, as well as a pleurectomy in hope of extending her life expectancy.

“Mesothelioma is incurable. I’m lucky so far, I have had two great years and no growth. That is rare, pretty much unheard of. I still have cancer cells in my blood so it will come back at some point but I am doing everything

renovations over the years. It is everywhere. We were so blind as to what is in the environment,” Kylie said.

Though asbestosis is rare and only affects around 800 Australians per year, precautions can be taken.

“I want people to be aware of their exposure now,” said Kylie.

“Warwick is such an old town with old houses and everyone wants to save a bit of money and renovate themselves, but it is not worth it. Pulling that wall down in a little home reno might save you some money but you could have damaging consequences from that.”

Though Kylie remains at risk, her energy has returned and she says she feels better now than before the surgery.

“I feel blessed I am still here.”

I know to suppress it.”

Since her diagnosis, Kylie has become acutely aware of the number of opportunities people have for secondhand exposure to micro-sized asbestos dust fibres.

“I went to Killarney school and it is full of it, then I worked at Warwick Hospital with all the

Sweet little beef cheeks

Elizabeth Voneiff editor@thedailyjournal.ink

If the Southern Downs is really going to be a protein hub of substance, we better get used to talking about foetal blood, omasum and beef cheeks.

Why? Because it’s not the traditional bits that are getting a run on the meat market as much as some more obscure items.

Kylie recently completed a 76.8 km walking challenge in ten days and raised over $1,000 for the Peter Mac Research Centre and is now planning another fundraiser to continue the progression of cancer research.

“There is some promising research being done on mesothelioma,” she said.

Cheek meat and halal co-products have reached record prices in the protein market, according to numbers released by Meat & Livestock Australia this week.

Last month, cheek meat jumped 23 percent month-onmonth to $13.50 a kilo. Since July, cheek meet has consistently hit record prices with most of the meat exported to South Korea and Japan. The domestic market for cheek meat

is increasing as well.

Beef lips hit their second highest price in August and are now priced at $4.60 per kilo. Most beef lips are exported to Indonesia, the USA and Mexico.

MLA notes that there are “noticeable premiums” awarded to Halal co-products on the market currently. Halal omasum – which is the muscular third stomach of a ruminant animal, between the reticulum and the abomasum – attracted a 20 percent premium over non-Halal omasum; the Halal version increased 53 percent year on year compared to non-Halal omasum. Demand for Halal products in the Middle East are pressuring the prices upwards. MLA advises that in the future, processors will have to decide which products are worth processing for the demand on the market. It may not be rump steak.

“They did a biopsy and I was diagnosed with mesothelioma from asbestos exposure.”

A suicide free Australia... we are not there yet

Leonie Fuge leonie@smallnewspaper.com.au

Australia has much to learn for achieving a suicide free nation or even how best to move closer to that vision. Recently released data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics reveals that many lives were lost to suicide in 2021, too many according to Lifeline Australia.

Colin Seery, Chief Executive Officer of Lifeline Australia said the 3, 144 lives lost to suicide outlines a tragedy that reinforces the need for government, business and the community to work together to reduce intentional self harm deaths.

”Every life lost is a tragedy which affects our families, workplaces and communities. Today will be a difficult day for many. I want to remind anyone who is struggling that Lifeline is here for you, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.”

The CEO encouraged the nation to remain committed to a shared vision

of zero suicides and to “not take the foot off the pedal” when it comes to providing much needed support and services for people who are struggling.

Intervention has saved lives and will continue to do so said Mr Seery who advocated for the upkeep of momentum in all areas, including community services, aftercare and bereavement as well as finding new ways of working together to support people in suicidal distress or at risk of it.

The CEO reiterated that connection plays an important role in resilience building and helping to support individuals through challenging times.

“If you know someone who might be having a difficult time, please reach out to them and encourage them to seek help. By checking in, you are essentially showing them that you care and that can truly make all the difference.” Mr Seery said.

If you are facing a challenging time or have lost someone to suicide and need support, Lifeline is only a phone call away 13 11 14.

Food rotting in Australian ports

Elizabeth Voneiff editor@thedailyjournal.ink

Talk about food waste: the ABC reports that fruit is rotting in Australian ports thanks to staff and funding shortages. Both the fresh fruit and trade relationships are in danger of destruction. Making it worse for the common punter is that continued flooding across growing regions will also spike the price of fresh food.

Australian Horticultural Exporters and Importers Association told the ABC that importers are waiting weeks for fresh produce to be cleared by Australian government officials.

Melbourne and Sydney are seeing fruit, vegetables and flowers written off due to delays. Apparently there are not enough DAF inspectors to check for pests, disease and weeds.

The former coalition government brought Australian inspectors posted in the USA and New Zealand back to this country to save money which has increased biosecurity risks and aggravated delays.

Australia previously employed inspectors in the

United States and New Zealand to inspect fresh food before it was imported, but the former coalition government moved much of that process back to Australia in an attempt to make the system more efficient.

Saina told the ABC that the reason it’s taking so long is because the “Federal Department of Agriculture doesn’t have the resources to conduct the inspections in a timely fashion.”

Importers told the ABC that delays are costing hundreds of thousands of dollars but they won’t speak publicly for fear of being subjected to further delays by inspectors.

It’s Rodeo time!

In the early 1930’s, the Cobb & Co Buckjump at Warwick Rodeo paid 100 pounds ($200) to the winner when three or four pounds ($6 or $8) was a working man’s weekly take home.

The Warwick-based transport company sponsored the buckjump, now known as the Saddle Bronc Ride, for many years from the early 1930s for almost 30 years and paid the most

prizemoney of any rodeo event in the country at the time.

Moving forward 50 years and the Warwick Rodeo committee have increased the Saddle Bronc Ride to a sponsored $12,000 plus $100 from every entry fee which could mean a prizemoney payout total of anywhere from $16,000 to $18,000, depending on the number of entries.

This will ensure the Saddle Bronc Ride at Warwick is the highest paying rodeo event in the country.

All other open events will have $8,000 sponsored along with $100 from each entry fee, making it close to the best-paying rodeo of the year and then with the rookie and junior events taking the sponsored prizemoney to well over $50,000.

The winners will know they’ve earnt their money, having ridden broncs from Garry McPhee’s Shepparton farm and JP ‘Happy’ Gill’s property at The Rock near Wagga Wagga, all considered amongst the best in Australia.

The Best Rodeo Bucking Stock

John Skinner

Contributed

Stock for the Warwick Rodeo this year will travel from as far as Shepparton, Victoria, from The Rock, NSW and from as far north as Bloomsbury, in Queensland.

Bucking horses will be from the Garry McPhee and JP ‘Happy’ Gill’s outlaws with CMC Roughstock supplying broncs for the rookie events.

‘Happy’ Gill will also be bringing a truckload of bulls to be backed-up by Darren Brandenberg’s line of bulls which have been regulars in the Professional Bull Riders (PBR)

events in Australia.

Interestingly, ‘Happy’ Gill first competed in Warwick in 1950. The very popular mini bulls will be back in Warwick this year courtesy of the Doak Rodeo Company and even more bucking bulls will be supplied by both MC Bucking Bulls from Ormeau and Wallace Bucking Bulls from Biloela.

Shane Kenny is the holder of the most All-Around rodeo titles in Australian rodeo history and he will once again supply the timed event cattle from his home base in Emerald.

A new comedy clown will provide the arena antics this year with Gracemere-based comedian, Ray West.

With a heavy schedule of bull rides at this year’s rodeo, four protection clowns – or bullfighters if you like - have been engaged. They are Luke Rosetta from Deniliquin, NSW and his off-siders, brothers Kirstin and Gabe Wood along with Tom Amos.

CooknCrush debut at Rodeo

Leonie Fuge leonie@smallnewspaper.com.au

Southern Downs 24 years old Fraser McVeigh might be a mechanical aerospace engineer by day but what he loves most is moonlighting as a country musician by night.

After a whirlwind year of playing live around Brisbane, Warwick and Dalby (outside of working hours), Fraser and his talented band buddy, Mathew Cook have now scored a gig at the Warwick Rodeo with their year old band CooknCrush.

Fraser told the Daily Journal, “I had to sit back and pinch myself saying life doesn’t get much better than this.”

CooknCrush plays songs from the biggest country artists like Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen and Zach Bryan and these guys know how to get a room dancing and enjoying themselves.

Growing up on a smaller farm in Warwick had Fraser exposed to all types of country music

and yearly trips to the Warwick rodeo.

“I never thought I would be playing the rodeo back then, I only started playing the guitar three years ago as a hobby. I used to sing a heap and probably annoyed a heap of people though,” Fraser laughed. “It’s been a bit of a wild ride, but I am taking it in my stride.”

Fraser and Mathew (now a primary school teacher) were roommates while studying at university in Brisbane and shared two common interests, guitars and country beats.

Fraser said, “Matt is from Dalby and he has been playing his whole life, I’m more the sidekick. Matt is really talented, I said to him, mate you need to do

something with it.”

The pair decided to throw their hats into the music ring and debuted with their first gig in Warwick at the Stockyard Tavern on rodeo weekend last year.

“We went straight from playing at the Stockyard to the rodeo, this year we are playing at the rodeo,” said Fraser.

I take this opportunity to wish everyone involved in the Warwick Rodeo all the very best for this year’s event.

CooknCrush consists of band members Matthew, Fraser, Josh Ellwood on Lead and Christopher Cook on drums. The band is booked for Sunday afternoon at the McConville Bar at the Warwick Showgrounds.

The J.H.S. Barnes Memorial Trophy

John Skinner

Contributed

The most consistent working horse over the running of the campdrafts at Warwick Rodeo will be awarded one of the most prestigious trophies a horse can win.

To be judged on ability and type, the trophy is the JHS Barnes Memorial Trophy, a magnificent-

ly engraved cup now retained in a glass case in the Warwick Show and Rodeo Society’s office.

The late Mr CE Barnes of Canning Downs Station, Warwick, his late sister, Mrs A.G. Bell and his late niece, Miss Pam Bell, Aroo, Boonah, instigated the JHS Barnes Memorial Trophy in 1973.

Originally, the trophy was presented each year to an outstanding horse at various competitions including the annual Warwick

Why Warwick?

Leonie Fuge leonie@smallnewspaper.com.au

Here on the Southern Downs, we pride ourselves on having the largest rodeo in Australia.

Largest meaning crowd size –an average of 30,000+ people attend Warwick Rodeo every year, and largest meaning the combined payout of campdraft and rodeo prizemoney – close to half-a-million dollars in total.

Warwick Rodeo is ‘Australia’s

Most Famous,’ not because it was the first – it wasn’t, but what it does have is tradition, reputation for quality, outstanding bucking stock (the best available in the country), the most entries of any rodeo in Australia, 100 more this year than Mount Isa Rotary Rodeo and then there’s the Warwick Gold Cup.

No one single event in horse sports draws the riders like the Warwick Gold Cup.

It’s often referred to as the ‘Melbourne Cup’ of campdrafting, so why is the Melbourne Cup so much more famous

Rosebowl Polocrosse however, in recent years, the trophy has been retained at the Warwick Rodeo office and presented to the owner of the most consistent working horse in all campdraft events at Warwick.

Mr Barnes was a strong supporter of the Australian Stockhorse and wished to promote the use of Australian dress and saddlery.

All breeds of horse are now eligible to compete for this tro-

phy.

Mr Barnes, who stood many famous racing stallions at Canning Downs, including Tails, was a regular at the Warwick Rodeo and loved nothing better than watching the horses in action in the campdrafting events.

With this in mind and when King Ranch moved their Santa Gertrudis and Quarter Horse studs from Risdon, 15km south of Warwick, Mr Barnes took over the sponsorship of the

Risdon Draft in 1973 and changed the name to the Canning Downs Campdraft.

It is still called the Canning Downs ’draft and is still sponsored by Canning Downs but now in company with Ascott Cattle Company of South Toolburra, bringing together the names of the first two properties established by the Leslie Brothers here in 1840, with prizemoney of $64,000 in 2022.

than, say, the Sydney or Brisbane cups?

The Warwick Gold Cup and the Melbourne Cup have tradition, longevity, outstanding prizemoney, great promotional opportunities and the absolute best in the business competing.

To win either puts owner/

rider/trainer/sire/dam up in a class of their own and the competitors will tell you a win at Warwick (or Melbourne) is better than bigger prizemoney or a championship.

Warwick is the last of the traditional rodeos to combine the excitement of rodeo with all its

rough stock and bulldogging and the finest of horsemanship in campdrafting, the pinnacle of horsemanship competitions in Australia.

The crown of ‘Australia’s Most Famous’ has not only been earned, it is well and truly deserved.

Art is Infinite with Brittany Dale

Editor’s note: The Town & Country Journal is pleased to have Brittany Dale, Community Engagement Officer at Warwick Art Gallery, contribute a regular column on art in the Southern Downs. Brittany will explore the events, the artists, the genres, public art, mediums and the meaning of humanity’s expression through artistic endeavour. The title of the column - Art is Infinite - comes from a quote by Oscar Wilde.

Warwick Art Gallery bought people from all walks of life together and was a poignant reminder of the power of art to build community.

Walk with Us officially opened on 18 October and features the work of members of the Demented Artists Group Inc, a local not-for-profit that uses the healing power of art to enhance the lives of those in recovery from mental health issues. The works in this exhibition have been created by members of differing skill levels at different stages on their journey to wellness.

The eclectic mix of works by members feature alongside an impressive array of watercolour portraits by the group’s founder and current president, Corina Graham. The

portraits depict founding members as well as past and present executives, many of whom were in attendance on the night.

Guests had the pleasure of hearing from special guests Cr Marco Gliori and Cr Andrew Gale who officially opened the exhibition.

It was a privilege to witness the excitement of the exhibiting artists as they shared their work with their fellow members, friends, and families. The sense of community created by the Group was evident and a true testament to the Group’s mission to assist those in recovery from mental health issues through “art, friendship and social inclusion”.

How does art bind us? It does this in a physical sense when people gather at events much like this one, or visit galleries, museums, or performance spaces. Art also brings people together culturally through its capacity to tell stories, to inspire reflection and to form connections that transcend human differences. Art speaks to us and allows us to express ourselves in ways that words often cannot. It allows for the sharing of ideas and strengthens the social fabric of society. It unites us in the shared experience of looking. Art builds community.

We set out on a loop of about seven kilometres of undulating trail through natural bush, sometimes bordered by impressive granite outcrops. Our guides had a variety of special interests, but a broad grasp of all things botanical, and had answers for most questions that were

thrown at them.

There was a lot of interaction between groups as the pace ebbed and flowed. We were a diverse bunch, with visitors from US, Zimbabwe, Queensland, and other Australian states. Photo opportunities were plentiful…lots of flowers, a smattering of orchids, fungi, parasitic trees, granite boulders, birdlife, dragon flies, tadpoles, and other water dwellers.

The walk was expected to take three hours, but it was more like four hours by the time the last weary walkers arrived back with bloated memory cards and empty water bottles.

Death by animal

Elizabeth Voneiff editor@thedailyjournal.ink

Everyone knows Australian is dangerous. Not for mass shootings, but viscous animals, snakes and insects.

How many of us are dying from our ferocious fauna?

There were 541 animal-related deaths reported to Australian coroners between 2001 and 2017, with an average of 32 animal-related deaths reported per calendar year. Land mammals comprised the majority (71 percent) of deaths, followed by reptiles and amphibians (10.7 percent) and insects and invertebrates (8.7 percent).

Public roads, homes and farms are the most frequent locations, according to research, at 30, 20 and 20 percent respectively.

One quarter of all animals related deaths occur in

Vax clinic ending

Queensland, another 25 percent in NSW and the rest spread around the rest of the country.

Men are more likely to die an animal-related death with 68 percent of fatalities killing males and only 32 percent killing women.

One quarter of all deaths involved a vehicle incident and there were no deaths confirmed to have involved a spider bite.

Sharks are harmless compared to horses. Nearly one third of animal-related deaths involved horses. The majority occurred among persons aged 25-64 years (57 percent); mostly involving a fall from a horse (108 cases).

Only 28 deaths involved horse racing and 18 happened during mustering or stock work activities. In 19 incidents, the deceased was not wearing a helmet.

WEANER STEERS P & G

Down the years, we have tried many ways to make money on the farm.

The main way has been a beef cattle enterprise, predominately breeding cattle but on one occasion, we bought steers, grew them out and fed them on grain.

It is always nice to have breeders and see the little calves running around.

This week, an Angus cow gave birth in a small paddock near the house.

You can’t pick the cows, some give birth close to the house and sheds while others go to the far end of the paddock.

A second way we have earnt

The Long Paddock with Gerard Walsh

money on the farm is to have cattle on agistment.

It is a bit like getting income from a rental house, you get so much per beast per week from the owner of the cattle.

The third way was to run woolgrowers. We had up to 1000 Merino wethers at one time and we would get up to $40 wool off each sheep.

This enterprise was going well when wool was making over

1000 cents a kilogram but dingoes and taking on a role as a sports reporter/editor put an end to running sheep.

We had one attempt at breeding prime lamb but that didn’t work as well as I had hoped.

One day I was mustering the ewes and one ram dropped dead. I didn’t know at the time but when I asked a friend, it is not unusual for rams to drop dead when stressed.

Attention sporting clubs

Elizabeth Voneiff editor@thedailyjournal.ink

Afew million dollars could fix a few sporting club houses.

Council and community groups will be able to put their hand up for a share in $19.5 in State funding for communities affected by weather events last summer.

The Flexible Funding Grants are available to “drive recovery and resilience projects” and are also available to community groups, NGOs and peak bodies. In other words, local sporting groups who are plagued by regular flooding should apply.

The grants are available to communities affected by the Central, Southern and Western Queensland Rainfall and Flooding (Nov – Dec 2021), Ex-Tropical Cyclone Seth (Dec 2021 – Jan 2022), south east Queensland Rainfall and Flooding (Feb –April 2022), and Southern Queensland Flooding (May

2022) events.

Federal Minister for Emergency Management, Senator the Hon Murray Watt, said the grants will help prepare 39 Local Government Areas (LGAs) for severe weather events in the future.

“Unfortunately many disaster-impacted regions are hit more than once, and we need to make sure regions are given the tools to help prevent repeat destruction,” Minister Watt said.

“Councils, industry and community groups, peak bodies, Queensland-based NGOs and research bodies will be able to apply. Councils can use this funding for a range of projects to bring initiatives that better prepare communities and maintain support networks, building resilience to future disasters.”

Applicants can apply for multiple grants, with small grant applications available from $2,500 up to $50,000 and large grant applications available from $50,001 up to $100,000.

Queensland Minister for Communities and Housing Leeanne Enoch said the devastating weather events have sent shockwaves right throughout Queensland communities.

Recipients will have 12 months to deliver their projects and will be required to provide regular progress reports on achievements and expenditure.

The DRFA Category C Flexible Funding Grants will be released in two rounds:

· Round 1: totalling $6 million - applications are now open and close on Friday, 21 October 2022.

· Round 2: totalling $13.5 million - applications to open in 2023.

To find out more about the grants and how to apply go to: https://www.qra.qld.gov. au/funding-programs/ event-specific-exceptional-circumstances-assistance/2021-22-rainfall-and-flooding-exceptional-circumstances-package/ flexible-funding-grants-20-million

As for the best income earners on a farm, there are three that stand out.

One was selling cattle at the top of the market as in the past two years, one was selling timber and the other solar power.

The thing with timber is you can only sell it once.

We have sold timber as far away as a mill at Beaudesert and railway sleepers that were used in Queensland and New South Wales.

I remember Jim Henningsen who lived in Wood St, Warwick, getting mill logs about 50 years ago.

Our solar panels on the farm went in when we were guaranteed 40 odd cents for each click.

We did inquire about putting in some more solar panels but we would have had to pay $20,000 for a bigger transformer on our farm.

Looking back, it would have been worth putting in the new transformer.

As I have written earlier, we did try selling oranges from four trees that were older than me but only did it once.

My mother and I wouldn’t have earnt wages from the orange venture.

Vale Don

Well-known Warwickite Don Warrener was farewelled this week and will be remembered as

one of the best sportsmen to come from the region.

He was a classy batsman in cricket, accomplished tennis player and golfer but was also involved in sports administration.

Don was president of the Warwick Swimming Club for a time.

For most of his working life, he worked for Warwick city and then Warwick Shire Council and went from a role in council to manager of the Warwick Indoor Recreation and Aquatic Centre.

The Warrener family has been one of the most successful in Warwick sport down the years and it continued with his daughter Bianca and Tegan.

Briana was the star as Warwick won a women’s division 1 football premiership in Toowoomba and went on to be goalie in top level football in south east Queensland.

Tegan broke countless records in swimming and at one stage was on a national swimming squad with the Campbell sisters. Athletes don’t succeed without parental support.

He was just a nice bloke who liked a chat and was in his element in recent years at the golf club.

Don volunteered his time to help at the golf club in the same way he helped many clubs down the years.

HIT - Four Rotor Tedders

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.

Little Athletes compete in Brissy

Gerard Walsh sports@thedailyjournal. ink

Unfortunately last Saturday’s Granite Belt Little Athletics Centre meet was cancelled due to the inclement weather and sodden oval.

In better news, three of our athletes made the trek to Brisbane to participate at the Coles Summer Carnival held at the Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre. Luckily for our intrepid three - Jacob Kent, Addison and Aiden McCosker - the conditions were slightly better and the competition proceeded.

Jacob participated in the Javelin where he threw a Personal Best and earnt a Gold Medal in the process. Great effort.

Addison had a packed

scheduled, and whilst feeling unwell, gave everything she had in the 100m, 200m and 400m. She ended up placing an extremely admirable 5th in the 100m and 200mjust missing out on medals.

Aiden also had a fun day competing against other athletes from all over SEQ and SW Qld. He competed in 100mand Long Jump - improving his jumps on each subsequent turn and committing no fouls in the pit.

Feedback received from Kel McCosker was it was a great carnival that she’d recommend to any athlete of all abilities. It was a great way to start the season and was wonderful to see my kids chatting with other kids and enjoying the atmosphere of running on a bigger stage. The centre will definitely go back next year.

Congratulations to Jacob, Addi and Aiden.

THREE EVENTS, ONE BLAKE

Gerard Walsh sports@thedailyjournal.ink

After first competing at the Warwick Rodeo at the age of 12, Warwick cowboy

Blake Weier will compete in all three open timed events at the Warwick Rodeo this week.

Now 20 and working for Ranbuild in Warwick, he has nominated for the rope and tie, steer wrestling and team roping.

“I have always loved rodeo,” he said.

“My aim is to get to the top of the sport in the Australian Professional Rodeo Association and the National Rodeo Association.”

He is currently fifth in the NRA all around standings.

Blake rates steer wrestling as his best event and expects Riley

Gibb, Lachlan O’Neill and Warwick cowboy Mitch Eastwell to be his toughest opposition at the Warwick Rodeo.

He competed in the richest rodeo in Australia last year at Mt Isa where he finished 13th in steer wrestling.

Blake rates a team roping win

at Killarney with his uncle Trevor Ross as one of his career highs.

He will have two first-round runs at the Warwick Rodeo in team roping, one with Mitch and one with Trevor.

Blake Weier will compete in three events at the Warwick Rodeo.
