However, many may not have been aware that 86 year old Homestead Aged Person’s Hostel resident in Allora, Les Bland had more than a passing involvement with football in this area. Recently a contingent of Allora based Warwick players donned the club colours to spend time with Les and get a feel for what it was like in the World game’s formative years around Warwick. Mr. Bland certainly got a thrill to meet Dominic Benz, Cameron Davey and Sam Benz resplendent in their Warwick Wolves playing gear. He was presented with a club cap, and is a happy man he still has some touch with the wonderful organisation that is Warwick Football. He relived some of his moments and recollections about those early days when football battled for recognition in a town heavily focused on rugby league. But to borrow a phrase, “if you built it they will come”, and come they did. Players of all ages keen to be involved in the newly formed football club, or soccer as it was more commonly known. The former World War II RAAF serviceman relocated from Sydney to Warwick with his wife and family, working at the Solution in classifieds section Horse & Jockey Hotel until retirement. Les was a well known name in the history of Warwick football. After formerly coaching the Caringbah “Rangers” in Sydney, he became heavily and helping the Warwick club make the initial steps into involved locally in the sport. He initially coached in Warwick in competition soccer. He and his Sydney teams were fortunate 1970, with many young players benefiting from his experience, enough to have access to the influence of former Polish International and Sydney based Development Official, Leo Baumgartner.

  • The Complete Book of Cheese by Robert Carlton Brown
    THE COMPLETE BOOK OF CHEESE BY ROBERT CARLTON BROWN Chapter One I Remember Cheese Cheese market day in a town in the north of Holland. All the cheese- fanciers are out, thumping the cannon-ball Edams and the millstone Goudas with their bare red knuckles, plugging in with a hollow steel tool for samples. In Holland the business of judging a crumb of cheese has been taken with great seriousness for centuries. The abracadabra is comparable to that of the wine-taster or tea-taster. These Edamers have the trained ear of music-masters and, merely by knuckle-rapping, can tell down to an air pocket left by a gas bubble just how mature the interior is. The connoisseurs use gingerbread as a mouth-freshener; and I, too, that sunny day among the Edams, kept my gingerbread handy and made my way from one fine cheese to another, trying out generous plugs from the heaped cannon balls that looked like the ammunition dump at Antietam. I remember another market day, this time in Lucerne. All morning I stocked up on good Schweizerkäse and better Gruyère. For lunch I had cheese salad. All around me the farmers were rolling two- hundred-pound Emmentalers, bigger than oxcart wheels. I sat in a little café, absorbing cheese and cheese lore in equal quantities. I learned that a prize cheese must be chock-full of equal-sized eyes, the gas holes produced during fermentation. They must glisten like polished bar glass. The cheese itself must be of a light, lemonish yellow. Its flavor must be nutlike.

  • Sugar Ray's Bitterness
    Sugar Ray's bitterness By Greg Roberts Sydney Morning Herald 5 October 2002 Rivalry over government funding and political power has spilled over into a nasty brawl in outback Queensland. Greg Roberts reports. ONE of Australia's most powerful Aboriginal leaders points to a patch of dry mulga scrub outside the south-west Queensland town of Charleville. "That's where I grew up as a kid; that's where the tin shed was," says "Sugar" Ray Robinson, deputy chairman of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC). "It had a dirt floor; eight of us lived there. We carted water in a bucket from a tap every day. We ate bread and water with sugar sprinkled on it. There wasn't a day went past that I wasn't hungry." Robinson, 56, has come a long way. Today he heads the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Services Secretariat and 13 other indigenous bodies. A powerbroker in ATSIC, he is a constant thorn in the side of the commission chairman, Geoff Clark. Robinson predicts that after the October 19 ATSIC elections, Clark will no longer be chairman. "Geoff Clark has a problem and the problem is he is not going to get in as chairman while I'm there," he booms in his trademark gravelly voice. "He hasn't got the numbers. He knows that if he's ever to get back as chairman, I'm his biggest threat." Robinson insists he does not covet the top job. Clark infuriated Robinson recently when he called for an investigation into allegations against his deputy in a series of articles in Brisbane's The Courier-Mail newspaper.

Fortunately, my daughter is understanding of the time delay. Our Christmas celebrations were very much enjoyed by all who attended. Many thanks to Bill and Lynne for their organisation. Our thanks to the Newnham hotel whose staff did an outstanding job of decorating the room which set the mood as soon as we entered. The meal lived up to our expectations and the entertainment was very good. What a difficult year it has been for people around the world. This nasty virus has caused grief and loss for so many families around the world. We are truly blessed here in Australia. If we put it in perspective, approximately one-third of the world’s population was infected with the Spanish flu in 1918. That equated to about 500 million people infected, and it is estimated between 20- 50 million people died world-wide. Did you know the Spanish flu probably did not originate in Spain? It has been suggested that France, Britain, and China were the source of the infection, and also the USA, as the first documented case was reported at a military base in Kansas in early 1918.

  • Australia's Coon Cheese to Change Name in Effort to Help 'Eliminate Racism'
    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Australia’s Coon cheese to change name in effort to help ‘eliminate racism' Company has previously resisted calls to change branding, saying it was named after American cheesemaker Edward William Coon Australian cheese brand Coon will change its name after Black Lives Matter protests once again put the focus on the brand and a campaign stating it was offensive to Indigenous Australians. Photograph: Bianca de Marchi/AAP Elias Visontay 24 Jul 2020 The Australian cheese brand Coon will change its name to help “eliminate racism” following a campaign stating the product name was offensive to Indigenous Australians. Friday’s announcement by Saputo, the dairy company that owns Coon, “to retire the Coon brand name”, comes after a decades-long effort to rename the cheese, including an unsuccessful 1999 complaint to the Australian Human Rights Commission from Indigenous activist Dr Stephen Hagan. Hagan told the Guardian on Friday the decision was “a total vindication of 20 years of campaigning”. Coon, along with other businesses, artists and cultural symbols, has come under fresh scrutiny over racial connotations in recent months as the Black Lives Matter movement gained momentum in Australia. 2 The brand, which was first sold in 1935, has long resisted calls to change its name, defending its historical decision to name the cheese after American cheesemaker Edward William Coon, who, according to the brand’s website, “patented a unique ripening process” used to make the dairy product. A new name for Coon has not yet been decided, but Saputo said it was “working to develop a new brand name that will honour the brand-affinity felt by our valued consumers while aligning with current attitudes and perspectives”.

  • Saputo Does First Australians No Favours
    29 July, 2020 SAPUTO DOES FIRST AUSTRALIANS NO FAVOURS Canadian dairy company Saputo’s decision to bow to misguided political pressure over the name of a much-loved brand of cheese will do nothing to advance the interests of indigenous Australians, Katter’s Australian Party Leader Robbie Katter has said. Traeger MP Robbie Katter said Saputo’s decision to retire the “Coon” cheese brand, named after founder Edward William Coon, after 94 years was virtue-signalling at its most grotesque. He said the decision, which disregards the true origins of the name, was an insult to history and to those working on solutions to the real struggles facing indigenous Australians in 2020. Mr Katter, who represents a vast Queensland state electorate with an indigenous population of more than 20 per cent, said the challenges facing First Australians today were real and complex but had nothing to do with cheese. He said unemployment, high crime rates and chronic and systemic issues with access to fresh food and affordable groceries were among the day-to-day struggles people were facing. “Twitter activists might go to bed at night thinking they’ve done something worthwhile by changing the name of a cheese brand,” Mr Katter said. “But the truth is First Australians in the country’s most remote communities are still going to be paying more than double to buy that cheese when compared to capital cities. “Chronically high food prices and a lack of food security is one of the most acute issues impacting health and well-being and liveability in indigenous areas, including at Doomadgee in my electorate.” In his letter to Saputo president, Mr Richard Wallace, Mr Katter highlighted the fact that the “Coon” family name had no racist origins.

  • Australia's Blackest Sporting Moments: the Top 100
    Australia's Blackest Sporting Moments: The Top 100 Australia's Blackest Sporting Moments: The Top 100; 2006; Ngalga Warralu Publishing Pty Ltd, 2006; Stephen Hagan; 1921212004, 9781921212000 Internationally renowned academic, political advocate and award winning author, Stephen Hagan reveals the darker side of racism in sport and exposes Australian ugly underbelly. Australia's Blackest Sporting Moments: The Top 100 is a painfully easy read of incidents of racism in Australian sport. Hagan has cleverly used a diverse range of professional non-Indigenous contributors to review 10 separate articles and in doing so adds balanced perspectives of this regrettable past. The contrast in styles and interpretations of the 100 incidents is appealing in its simplicity. The book has 46 cartoons illustrating various incidents in humorous way. Hagan takes the reader on a journey not many of them would like to go. However the compelling read of iconic figures identified in his book is so profound that the reader's initial anxiety of 'not another black arm band book?' is quickly relieved. It is demonstrably clear from Henry Lawson's 1908 remarks of African American Jack Johnson defeat of Tommy Burns 'for a nigger smacked your face' to Yvonne Goolagong receiving abuse 'That's the first time I've ever been beaten by a nigger' to the infamous Queensland Cricket Captain, Jimmy Maher's, comments "full as a coon's Valiant'', that the author's extensive research has not missed an incident of note since the time of colonisation. Hagan's deliberate inclusion of Indigenous perpetrators of racial abuse gives creditability to an otherwise bias book.

Academic and political advocate, Stephen Hagan, went all the way to the United Nations with his battle to remove the word Nigger from a sign at a Queensland sports ground. Pushing through harsh opposition, including KKK death threats against his family, Hagan successfully petitioned the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Stephen fought his own people in order to campaign for transparency and accountability in publicly-funded organisations and was involved in the Queensland State Tripartite Forum and the controversial 1996 Mundingburra bi-election. The N Word touches on family history, especially that of his father, Jim Hagan, who was a leading spokesman on Aboriginal Affairs and was the first Aboriginal to address the UN General Assembly in Geneva.
