Australia's past preserved on a tree-studded hill

ON a tree-studded hill overlooking Emu Park and the Pacific Ocean, Lionel and Ariel DeLandelles have preserved part of Australia's history so that future generations may know how life used to be.

Tomorrow, (Sunday) Senator Flo BjelkePetersen will officially name and declare open Ross's Run and Church Avenue.

Those who attend will see and feel 19th century Australia. Church Avenue is a gra veiled loop around which stands Murray Street Congregational Church, and two fine examples of turn-of-the-century homes, Riversleigh and Lyndhurst.

As the crowds stroll around the immaculate grounds and beautifully restored buildings, they will admire the craftsmanship of artisans long since dead ... passed to their glory perhaps from these very churches that they built.

Last Sunday it was different ... there was no one there. A breeze blowing from Zilzie stirred the gum trees, blew leaves along the road and disturbed the dust. A sunless, overcast sky painted a grey pallor over the scene.

A painter's ladder stood on the porch of the Congregational Church, a trestle surrounded the bell tower from a Biloela Anglican Church, wood-shavings covered the floor in the 1st Methodist Church, which was still being restored.

It could have been any late 19th century Queensland country town on church picnic day, when horses and buggies had moved away after the morning meetings to the

morning meetings to the nearby creek and picnic grounds.

That would have been the scene greeting a dusty traveller arriving in that town on that Sunday.

The DeLandelles have realised their dream.

They set out to create an example of days gone by and succeeded magnificently. Had the same buildings been restored on their original sites where more modern housing would perhaps have crowded them and the noise of cars been audible, each individual building, while still beautiful, would have lost the grandeur their architects originally conceived.

Together, they complement each other.

Their beauty is breath-taking.

When walking around Church Avenue, hand-in-hand, only yesterday seems real. This is how life was, we can't go back permanently . . . but for just one day we felt life as it used to be, when church was the focal point of life.

LIVINGSTONE Shire Council has been asked to support the establishment of an historical reserve at Joskeleigh at the southern end of Capricorn Coast.

The Joskeleigh Historical and Progress Association is particularly concerned at the destruction of the graves of South Sea Islanders located on private property.

Association secretary Mrs Mabel Edmund told council the burial ground could be unique in Australia.

Mrs Edmund said Islanders had concentrated at Joskeleigh and Keppel Sands when the first sugar cane plantations in Queensland were developed in the area.

She said Islanders, mainly from the New Hebrides, were indentured or "blackbirded" to work on the plantations. Some of the original Islanders workers were buried there.

The association has requested council's intervention to resume a small area as a, cemetery reserve.

Mrs Edmund said the area was recommended for National Heritage listing in 1979.

There were 22 graves on the site, but 20 were bulldozed, a marble headstone broken and a picket fence burnt when the area was previously cleared.

She said the graves' destrUction had distressed Joskeleigh residents whose relatives were buried there.

Mrs Edmund said there were fifth generation descendants of the original cane cutters living in the area who wanted to restore and preserve the cemetery.

Shire engineer Mr Tony Rowe has told council the graves were of significant historial interest to the State and to the local ancestors.

He has recommended that council support the Historical and Progress association to establish an historical reserve in the area.

The Minister for Aboriginal and Island Affairs and the National Trust of Queensland have' supported the association.

Water report LIVINGSTONE Shire councillors were told last week that the Capricorn Coast's water supply was fit for human consumption.

In a report from health surveyor John Harmsworth, council was told analysis of a sample from Waterpark Creek showed the water to be free of cholera organisms.

"Samples from six different locations, including Keppel Sands, show the water to be fit for human consumption," he said.

The same results were reported from Great Keppel Island.

Reporting on cleansing services, Mr Harmsworth said Emu park refuse tip was still creating problems because covering was not being carried out correctly. He expected this problem to be cleared up by the time of the meeting.

In Yeppoon, he said the area adjacent to Seaview Hill was now being filled. This was getting rid of a depression that held water after rain.

He said the site for the new Yeppoon refuse tip had been inspected by State Health Officers and he could not see any problems in the area being approved.

Water supply worries brigade ROCKHAMPTON Fire Brigade has urged Livingstone Shire Council to strongly oppose hilltop residential development where an adequate water supply doesn't exist.

In a letter to the council, the brigade specifically identified Emu Park as an area of concern.

Emu Park was gazetted on September 3 into the Rockhampton Fire Brigade district.

The brigade's chief officer, Mr Tom Eaves, told council it was unrealistic to suggest holding tanks would be an acceptable interim water supply measure.

He said such a prosposal would lead to the proliferation of hill top estates with inadequate water supplies.

Mr Eaves said fire fighting operations would be hampered if water had to be carted over considerable distances to the fireground.

He said hilltop developments, where water mains and hydrants would not be available, should be vigorously opposed in the interest of fire safety.

Shire engineer Mr Tony Rowe told council there were several places outside the present reticulated water supply areas which cannot be served because of this elevation.

He said the council had no statutory requirements to meet in regard to the quality, quantity or pressure of a water supply.

Mr Rowe said that recently the council had approved the subdivision of land above the level of adequate supply.

`Spring' taps not answer SPRING-LOADED taps are not the solution to water wastage on the Capricorn Coast, according to shire engineer Tony Rowe.

He was reporting to council on a suggestion from the Yeppoon and District Ratepayers' and Citizens' Association that spring-loaded, taps be installed in all public areas.

In his report to council, Mr Rowe said the taps had been used previously in several locations but also had problems of broken springs and leaking mechanisms.

He said other water-saving devices such as showers were expensive to install and maintain.

The association also raised what it described as a serious health hazard for campers and residents at Mulambin Beach.

Secretary Mrs B Hooper said that there were up to 300 camping units at the beach during holiday times and existing toilet blocks could not cope.

Mr Rowe reported that the beach had eight toilet blocks as well as a shower building and he considered the facilities were adequate for the number of campers using Mulambin Beach.

PARKING

• ABOVE: ALP candidate for Callide Alan Morris points to the sign at Rosslyn Bay Boat Harbour he feels insults tourists and drives them away.

Parking fee has to go, says Morris THE charge of tourist parking at Rosslyn Bay Boat Harbour has got to go, ALP candidate for Callide Alan Morris said this week.

"The State Government parking fee is the only one operating in Queensland", he said.

"Other harbours up and down the Queensland coast realiese that people visiting harbours have to leave their cars if they want to travel to nearby island resorts.

"But everywhere else it's just a matter of parking the car and getting on the boat. It should be the same here but instead, we insult tourists by making them pay".

Mr Morris said this direct charge for parking was driving people away from the harbour and, as a result, the island cruises.

"This National Party government has always been anti-Capricorn Coast. Another example of the Government's attitude to the Coast was charging local businesses for a roadsign directing traffic to the Coast from the Bruce Highway", he said.

"This should have been constructed at Government expense".

Mr Morris said the ALP's "new direction policy" on tourism would be of great benefit to Queensland and in particular to the Capricorn Coast.

"The Federal and State Labor Govenments are committed to a massive funding for rural, local, urban and national roads. The Federal Government has already allocated $262.4 million for 1983/84", he said.

"Financial assistance to tourist boat operators and resorts has also been allocated".

Mr Morris said the parking charge at Rosslyn Bay would wipe out a lot of the benefit such funds could do for the Coast. "People on holiday's don't want the hassles of stopping the car, getting parking tickets and worrying about such minor things", he said.

"They want to park as close to the boat terminal as possible so they don't have to carry bags too far and they want to get on that boat and start enjoying themselves.

"If a fee has to be chWrged it shouldbe added onto the cost of the boat ticket so that one charge covers everything. Tourists don't mind paying a little extra for convenience . . that's why they left home for a holiday", Mr Morris said.

THE MUPPET BOUTIQUE Specialising in Baby's and Children's Wear Open 7 days - 39 4442 Sands Arcade

MEMBER for Callide Lindsay Hartwig this week called for the road to Shoalwater Bay to be sealed as part of Australia's Bicentenary celebrations.

"If the Shoalwater Bay camp was in New South Wales or Victoria it would be reached, by a four-lane highway", he said.

Mr Hartwig said the road deserved to be upgraded because it was used by more than !

Army vehicles.

"There are fruitgrowers along that road; and they have delicate produce to move to market over a road that has been hacked round by heavy four-wheel-drive defence vehicles", Mr Hartwig said.

"These people pay rates and are entitled to a proper road".

Mr Hartwig said Livingstone Shire Council received funds from the Defence Department to maintain the roads but more was needed.

"It's not enough to run a grader over the road then have it chopped up again by Army Trucks", he said. "It needs to be sealed so that it can take the loads being imposed on it".

Mr Hartwig said he had been working toward getting the road upgraded since 1975 through representations to then Defence Minister James Killen.

"I have said time and time again that this road serves one of the biggest Army training areas in Australia and that the cost of maintaining this road is being subsidised by Coast ratepayers", he said.

"It seems the Government is not interested in lifting this cost from the shire so now I'll try to have the road sealed as part of Australia's Bicentenary.

"Maybe, after 200 years of development in this nation, the Federal Government can see its way clear to allocate funds to doing a job that is vitally concerned with the nation's defence. `The road would soon be upgraded if there was a war on. For the residents who have to use this road and their children who have to jolt to school over it by bus, it may not be a war . . . but it is a daily battle to be fought", Mr Hartwig said.

Hartwig wants floodlighting for car park MEMBER for Callide Lindsay Hartwig has made representations to Harbours and Marine Minister John Goleby to have the Rosslyn Bay carpark floodlit.

He told the Minister that floodlighting would offer protection to cars parked at the harbour overnight and even longer.

Mr Hartwig said he had received complaints about vehicles being "milked" when left unattended.

"Aside from the cost of the fuel which has been stolen there's the inconvenience involved in returning tired from a fishing trip or holiday and finding the car won't start", he said.

"Not everybody assumes the car is out of petrol because they know the tank was full when they parked the car. When they do realise the fuel tank has been milked they have to find a garage".

Mr Hartwig said one complaint to him about a milked tank gave a dub that professionals could well be at work.

"The women who complained said the tank was completely dry", Mr Hartwig said. "It's hard enough today to get any fuel out of vehicle without being able to remove the lot".

Stevenson: Education has top NP priority NATIONAL Party candidate for Callide Alan Stevenson said this week that when elected to Parliament he would ensure schools in his electorate received their share of government funds. , "The National Party policy gives education top priority and schools in Callide will be assured of my attention", he said this week.

Mr Stevenson said a National Party government would cut State school sizes over the next three years to levels recommended by the Parliamentary Select Committee on Education.

"Last year the State Government spent 20cr in the $1 of its entire Budget on education, a massive $857 million, up 19 per cent on the previous Budget excluding capital works", he said.

"Next year an additional 893 new State School teachers will be employed, plus another 115 in T.A.F.E. colleges.

"Students leaving secondary schools will undertaken a computer awareness course to equip them for today's rapidly developing technical age with computers to be installed in all schools and T.A.F.E. colleges over the

TATE COURSE NAME

next three years.

"Additionally, the government will support non-Government schools against any undermining attempt by Federal Labor Government, it will provide an increase in 14 per cent in per capita grants for non-government schools in 1982-84 and extend the term of interest subsidy assistance from 5 to 10 years", Mr Stevenson said.

The secondary school curriculum would be broadened to ensure job- orientated courses of study were more widely available.

"Traffic wardens will be provided at 400 schools crossings, and legislation will be iritro. duced to allow increased sharing of facilities such 'as sporting fields, libraries, gymnasiums and swimming pools", he said.

ON Sunday, September 25, we arrived from Hornsby Heights in Sydney to live at Kinka Beach. Queensland made us welcome!

The weather had been very hot, we were told, but as we southerners headed along the Burnett Highway to Rockhampton, clouds hid the sun and a welcome cool breeze blew.

When we reached our new home in the late afternoon and opened the door a great surprise awaited us.

Friends Bob and Pippin Jones of Kinka Beach, whom we only met for the first time when we stayed at Kinka Lodge three months ago, had been busy on our behalf.

Attractive pot plants were everywhere, a delicious casserole soon revived weary tra-, yelled; a large tin of Danish cookies stood on' the kitchen bench.

Pippin had even spent time removing intrusive bindy-eyes from the lounge carpet, we learn later and placed just the right shade of fragrant soap in our new 'bathroom.

Friends like these are rare, and to be cherished.

So you cannot attend a Polling Booth?

Don't worry . . . the Electoral Visitor could solve the problem.

Qualifying for an Electoral Visitor Vote If you live within ten kilometres of a polling booth (by the nearest practicable route) and if, either because of serious illness or infirmity, a medical condition or approaching maternity, you cannot attend any polling booth to vote, you may apply to vote before an Electoral Visitor.

Who is an Electoral Visitor?

An Electoral Visitor is a person specially appointed by a Returning Officer, to visit you in order that you may cast a personal vote.

How it works An Electoral Visitor application form may be obtained from any Returning Officer or any Electoral Registrar (most country Clerks of the Court), however the application must be returned to the Returning Officer for the electoral district in which the elector is situated at the time of making the application. In addition, the form must be signed by the applicant in the presence of any elector of this State, or a legally qualified medical practitioner or a registered nurse attending the applicant.

After receiving your application, the Returning Officer will direct an Electoral Visitor to visit you as soon as possible.

It will not matter if you are enrolled for another district, as the Electoral Visitor may take absent votes for any district, in addition to votes for the district for which he is appointed.

The Electoral Visitor will visit you at a reasonable hour to enable you to cast

your vote. When you have voted, your ballot paper will be sealed in an envelope and placed in a locked ballot box. The Electoral Visitor will not interfere with or disclose your vote, and will not allow anyone else to do so. The Electoral Visitor then returns the ballot box to his Returning Officer who will ensure that your vote will be counted after the close of the poll.

When can you apply?

Applications for Electoral Visitor votes may be made now, and must be made not later than 6pm on Friday 21st October, 1983, the day immediately preceding Polling Day. Remember, application forms for Electoral Visitor votes may be obtained from any Returning Officer or any Electoral Registrar (most country Clerks of the Court).

EMOTIONS are flying high in Australia.

Patriotism and euphoria is running high. Our cup runneth over.

Here in Emu Park, over the years, we've had our achievements, our sorrows, and we are forever making history.

Now we have the chance of having our own historical museum and tourist information centre. The Emu Park Historical Museum Committee is urgently appealing for your support now.

If you cannot give money, could you help form a fundraising committee? Would you hold a barbecue or tea party to raise funds?

We need your ideas now. This is going to be a great asset to the town and you will all benefit once it is operating.

We hope soon everyone in Emu Park will look proudly at the building and say how did we manage without it?

Honour board meeting plan LIVINGSTONE Shire Council has agreed to call a meeting to sort out the future of the shire's honour board.

Council received letters from the Caves and District Progress Association and Yeppoon sub branch of the RSL. The progress association asked for a date and time to be fixed so that a meeting could be held.

Council decided to approach both parties to set a date and wants all concerned parties to attend.

Association secretary Mres J Johnson said in her letter to council that she welcomed the council's suggestion for the meeting "to discuss without prejudice, the honour board to be erected at The Caves".

Yeppoon RSL secretary Mery Scope in his letter told council the branch was disappointed that the Livingstone Shire Honour Board had not been returned to the shire office and "that Livingstone Shire Council is not insisting, that its earlier, reasonable requests to The Caves and District Progress Association be complied with".

POLICY SPEECH

WEARING a lovely shade of brown, a snake slithered into Normanby street last Wednesday afternoon to be where all the action is for the Pineapple Festival.

It greeted Kim Ellison, of Bill Thomson's Pickett Realty, who was less than enthused. "I came out of the building and must have surprised the snake because it reared up at me", he said.

"I took off around the corner to Trevor Williams (Tidewater) and he grabbed a spade to take care of it".

Taking care of the snake wasn't as easy as first thought. Being adept at wriggling out of most situations the snake decided to call a spade a spade ... and took off in the opposite direction.

Unfortunately for the snake, Trevor Williams flashes a mean spade blade and he felled the reptile ... with just four blows.

After piecing it together a tape was proand the snake measured 1.2 metres, or four feet in imperial measure . .. enough for four snakeskin shoes?

BRIAN CHILDS is a potter who likes working with lbcal materials. He lives at Byfield and has found a supply of materials nearby.

It would be easier to order clay from Ipswich . .. but Brian Childs wants to create works not just in the area, but from the area.

"It's a lot of work but it's worth it", he said on Saturday while setting up a display at Farnborough School's Fair.

He makes a living from his work which means he can live in the bush ... and that's what he wants to do. He works in an "iron roof flyaway" which is perfect for what he does.

"I've been messing about with pots for about 10 years now. I've been at Byfield for two years", he said.

He has no other trade "expect plant operator but I don't count that" and he started in potting when doing a course in teaching.

"I was doing work in arts for the course and when I got to the pottery part that was it . . . I gave up teaching and concentrated on the pottery", he said.

He was photographed with three of his favourite works. They include local materials such as rutile from the mineral sands at Gladstone, illmanite, also from Gladstone mineral sands and local managanese.

No worry hungi at K Sands THERE'S more to a hungi than giving it an "in" name .. . Garry Parter of Keppel Sands can tell you that.

When preparing to remove the food from the ground oven on Saturday night at the back of the Royal Hotel, he was conscious of the fact that the success of the fund-raising night for the Sandhills Sports Club depended on his efforts.

But he wasn't worried . .. not about the hungi, at any rate. He was certain it would be perfect. "If you build the fire correctly you can't go wrong", he said. "You have to have the fire".

In addition, you need a pig, fish, fowl and vegetables. A steel mesh crate comes in handy as well as sheets, blankets, banana leaves and some sacks.

Mr Parter and helpers worked at preparing the food, the oven and the crate from 6am At Saturday. It went into the ground about 1pm and was covered with sand.

About then there was a slight complication . . . "I got run over", Mr Parter said. "A car knocked me down and one of the wheels drove up my leg".

There was no time to think about hospital, a quick bandage and the lend of a crutch had to do.

"It takes five hours for the hungi to be ready", he said. So, around 6pm, Mr Parter, leaning on the crutch, supervised the removal of the hungi from the pit. Willing helpers carefully shovelled away the sand to reveal the crate then under Mr Parter's critical gaze, they peeled away the sacks to leave the banana leaves exposed.

Ropes were threaded through the crate and it was carried triumphantly to the hotel's outdoor bar where Sandhills Sports Club supporters were waiting.

Mr Parter said it turned out just as he expected it would. It was his 10th hungi . and all have been a success.

THE Tropic of Capricorn Shire certainly attracts attention ... and visitors. The Capricorn Tourism and Development's Corporation's latest newsletter records that 30,640 people visited from March 31 to July 31.

-1 This figure was able to be recorded because a "supersonic, electronic people counter" has been installed.

The same newsletter throws a bouquet to the Capricorn Coast Tourist Organisation committee for its efforts.

President Brian Hooper and his team were praised for "the excellent job they are doing promoting the Capricorn Coast".

"They get through a terrific amount of work on a voluntary basis and, like the members of our (CTDO) committees, they often cop more bricks than flowers for their efforts", the newsletter says.

"Without their combined brochure the CTDO would have run out of promotional literature at all our recent southern promotions.

"They have ordered a 5000 run-on of the Capricorn Coast section of the Up North magazine and they attend every promotion and function we arrange, as a team.

The CTDO said the CCTO's latest contribution was a permanent weekend staff member for the information centre.

Barbara Irvine, who represents the Coast at the centre, was described as "a very competent and professional public relations officer".

oar ener THE MONTHLY GARDENING MAGAZINE Conipiled specifically for the Queensland climate

***

ON SALE NOW AT ALL NEWSAGENTS BE SURE OF YOUR COPY Public response to the first edition of Queensland Gardener was tremendously enthusiastic.

The coloured glossy magazine published by this newspaper group, appeared for the first time at newsagents on September 1.

Within hours, many agencies reported every copy on the shelves had been sold.

In fact Queensland Gardener was a sell-out.

The second edition will be out on October 1.

The magazine features a full colour glossy cover, and incorporates both spot and full colour.

It is distributed through all newsagents in Queensland and sell at $1.25 a copy.

Subscriptions are available, and to ensure your copy is delivered in your post box every month, just fill in the form below.

Editorial content is written by a team of experts led by well known horticulture teacher and writer, Mr Len Butt.

Queensland Gardener welcomes advertisers who are certain to find the magazine a most important client source.

Enquiries about advertising, telephone Brisbane 266 6666, or write or call to 10 Aspinall St., Nundah (P.O. Box 10, Nundah, 4012).

Cartinout Catottitte EVERYONE has a handy hint, trick or remedy that has been ,handed down from family to family or perhaps just discovered.

The following are some that the Capricorn Coast Mirror has "just discovered".

They are printed in good faith, but the staff has not tried any of them and don't know any "old wives" with whom to check the facts or fallacies.

Treatment for tinea and sore joints: If you are allergic to sulphur, read no futher. Take a small bottle of gin in which you have mixed and shaken two ounces of sulphur and every morning sip a dessertspoonful of the mixture.

At the end of the week, so my informant tells me, when you take off your sox you can shake out the sulphur.

Lemon juice sprinkled over "white" fruits • (eg apples, pears, bananas) will prevent discolouration.

Treatment for dogs' mange: Black sulphur from the chemist and petroleum jelly or any vegetable oil. Make a paste and paint it on affected areas daily.

Egg spoons will lose dark stains if placed in the hot water in which the eggs were boiled.

Nasturtiums are from the same family as cress. Cut up leaves and use in a salad, they have a tangy taste. Nasturtium seeds can be made into mock caper sauce, so I am told, but don't know the recipe.

Please feel free to contribute to this section.

Our address for mailing is P.O. Box 769, Yeppoon. If you want to deliver your hints in person we are in an office at the back of Pat Andersen's Real Estate office, 38 James Ftreet, Yeppoon.

JANET Beeston is leader of the Emu Park Brownies.

She has, in her care, 18 girls between the ages of 7 and 101/2 and a waiting list of others who want to join brownies.

The only problem is ... lack of leaders.

Caroline Gill was the other leader and has unfortunately moved back to Victoria.

"Some of the mothers give me a hand, but what the girls need is another full-time leader like me", said Janet.

All training, uniforms and expenses are met by the local association, which is the fund-raising side of the Guide Association.

You can be a women or girl who has never had anything to do with guiding.

The brownie pack meets every Thursday afternoon from 4.15pm till 6pm at the Emu Park Primary School. If you can help, or know someone who is willing, please ring Janet at 39 6135. *

He said that in 1978, the league wrote to the Livingstone Shire Council on the bad conditions of the footpath.

The council replied that "if a representative of the league could positively identify the most troublesome areas then minor repairs would be carried out".

During discussion it was stated that where a council employed two engineers, supervisors and foreman, a complaint should not have to be required to pinpoint the area of complaint.

That should be the responsibility of the relevant council officers.

In view of the council's reply it was decided not to pursue the matter.

Rugby club's first trophy night CAPRICORN Coast rugby Union Club president John Craig presented trophies and foundation pennants at the club's first trophy night at the Railway Hotel on Sunday night.

For the benefit of new members, he recounted the club's beginnings on a "Wet and miserable night" in November last year.

Three people attended thatmeeting and. 'decided to form a rugby union club. Three - people turned up for the first practice.

Eight ran around at the second practice, and, because there wasn't much time until the first game, it was decided that if every player at practice brought along another player there would be enough for a team.

The club lined up for its first match against Biloela "ready to be massacred" ... and this is the result. "This" was a silver trophy awarded to the winners of that first match ... Capricorn Coast.

"We won that match 9-8 and from then on we were the team to beat," Mr Craig said.

"We were the team with the tremendous amount of heart. After that win came a series of glorious defeats ... but never by much. We picked up people from the sidelines to play when it was necessary."

Then the club had a win, followed by another and another. "It was win, win, win for 10 successive games," Mr Craig said.

"That record made the Rockhampton.

District Rugby Union sit up and take notice.

We really put the pressure on them," he said.

Mr Craig paid tribute to the players on the field "who did a marvellous job", and the army' of wives, girlfriends and supporters "who were right behind you".

He paid special tribute to Alan Myles senior for his support throughout the year and the trophies that he made and donated; to Robert Harris "who stepped in when I was resting in hospital" and MrCraig paid tribute to his wife who had quickly learned a lot about rugby union ... how to wash jerseys, design letterheads and the foundation pennants.

He presented four trophies. Best Forward Most Improved 1983, a trophy donated by Westpac, was Mike Gilligan.

Mr Craig presented a fourth trophy, which as he put it, for the want of a better name, he called the President's Trophy ... it was for the most valued clubman and was awarded to team captain David Ruck.

Accepting the trophy, David Ruck said it had been a good year for the club ... "we made a lot of friends and that, to me, is what rugby is all about".

Railway Hotel manager Frank Tindall was presented with a club shirt for his support. immummummii

Yeppoon manager Alan Stubbs presented travel vouchers to the Central Queensland District Fours Bowls champions on Sunday at Yeppoon Bowls Club.

In an address to members, Mr Stubbs said it was the first time the ANZ had been involved in a sponsorship of this nature.

Arthur Kelly missed the presentation

because he was in hospital. The fours team will represent Central Queensland in the State competition the bank is sponsoring.

This happened a few times on Sunday afternoon at the rear of the Pine Beach Hotel at Emu Park when a team from the Royal Hotel, Keppel Sands, travelled by bus to do battle.

Everybody got into the act. The men heaved and sweated — and worked up a thirst — then the women heaved, and worked up a thirst, then it was the kids' turn. All that _non-stop activity proved that Life. Be in it days have a future on the Coast. The beauty of a tug-of-war is that no experience is necessary.

Championships at squash. club

awe Kitt waited ox

THE Capricorn Coast Squash Club held its closed championships over the two weeks of school holidays. All grades were contested with particularly good entries received in B grade'.

D grade players played to expectations with Darren Corney the winner, Pat Gough runner up and Adrian Keenan the Plate (consolation) event winner.

C grade had some major upsets with newlypromoted Bill Schecht the only seeded player to reach the final where he meets Terry Simpson who has gone from strength to strength since he has started fixture play as a number three.

On Tuesday night, Roger Dale, who has been performing well in the A grade plate, was defeated in the B grade semi finals by Len Harper. Len went on to win with Russ Collins the runner up. Russ, a number two, performed well to reach the final.

The B grade plate became a battle of the threes and fours with Chris Briggs emerging the victor after several five setters.

A grade players have performed to grading, with all seeded players reaching the semifinals.

PROMINENT Yeppoon personality, in her own words, "got up early one day last week and decided to go out and fertilise the lawn". Whatever she used must have worked because she then decided the lawn needed mowing.

Wearing only a shortie nightie she revved up the rider mower and started blasting around the acreage, Everything was fine until the back of the nightie caught in the rear wheels and stripped her starkers.

There was a mad dash for the front door only to find it had blown shut so there was another mad dash around the back. She opened the door, breathless, to find young daughter, sleep in her eyes, suddenly brought wide.awake by her naked mother running in the door.

Keeping her cool, and trying to salvage something from the situation, she snapped at her daughter: "You don't have to worry, I'm not coming home from last night, I've been mowing the lawn". That must have explained everything.

Windswept regatta IT seemed as though barnacles were being blown off the rocks and dog-s off their collars . for the Pineapple Festival Regatta on Sunday at Keppel Bay Sailing Club.

For those who did not sustain any damage and sailed the windswept course, the rewards were evident.

Barry Balchin and the crew of 'Three Fools Fumbling' returned to the beach glassy-eyed and rambling about `Screamino. Spinnaker Reaches'.

Col Sims was heard to say that he retired (upside down) to give the new sailers a better chance at gaining a place.

The winsurfers were to sail to Iron Pot.However the Le Mans start and the' unrehearsed water ballet in the shore break' proved too much for the fleet.

Congratulations must go to Tony Boulton, Steve Rodda and Peter Taylor for sailing to the Shark Net and return.

Results: Senior; Three Fools Fumbling, B. Balchin, 1; The Wild One, B. Spowart, 2; Under Suspicion, S. Shaw, 3; Coherent Light, R. Tyler, 4.

Dolphins win ifM•q•:,

• ABOVE: Two of the 70 runners who took part in the Emu Park Village Fun Run cross the finish line in Bell Park on Sunday.

Emu Park Village fun run records THE Emu Park Village Fun Run on Sunday set a string of records for times and the number of competitors.

Almost 70 took part in the eight-kilometre fun-run around a hilly Emu Park course that started and finished in Bell Park.

Bev Laundry of the Fisherman's Beach Restaurant organised the day which was jointly sponsored with Emu Park Motel.

Twenty two-year-old John Spence of Mt Morgan was first home in 26.55. He won the open male award. After the race he said he could not remember how many fun runs he had entered nor how many he had won. He runs every day to keep fit and it doesn't matter what the weather is like.

He's been running since he was 13 when he started training seriously at Rockhampton High School.

He is sponsored by Regal Bakeries, Rockhampton, where he works, but is looking for another sponsor to pay his expenses for events in the south.

He wants to try some of the bigger Southern meetings because he said he expected he would do well. "I have beaten Billy McLean of Gladstone in races up here and he ran fifth in the country titles held in Brisbane," he said.

John Spence said he had only moved to Mt Morgan recently but the shift had paid off for training.

"There are a lot of hills there and I've been testing myself on them. That sort of work paid off on this Emu Park course," he said.

His wife, Ronwyn, said John wore out a paid of jogging shoes every six months. She liked the Emu Park event because it provided something for the spectators.

"This is great having a flea market to attend. There's something to look at and even bargains to pick up," she said.

Seventeen-year-old Sally Clark of

Higgins Pharmacy Hill Street

L

Yeppoon, who attends Yeppoon High School, won the open female section. This was her fourth fun run. She has won two, came second in another and was "one of thousands" in the City-to-Surf run in Sydney.

She, trains nearly every day and like to run on Farnborough Beach. "It goes on for miles and miles," she said.

Sally said she liked the Emu Park fun run course but would like to see a fun run on some of the Coast's beaches.

She, and her sister Nancy, who also won a section on Sunday, often run from Yeppoon Main Beach to Iwasaki's and back as part-of their training.

Forty five-year-old Rusty Hall of Rockhampton said after the race he "gets cranky" if he can't run every day.

He runs six days a week and covers between 80 and 110 kilometres a week in training. He's been running since the age of 15 and will run in anything ... "from a mile to a marathon".

He said he liked the undulating Emu Park course, it was "very interesting". Rusty was aware that the young runners were passing him more and more lately but he has no intentions of giving up running.

"I'd have to have my legs chopped off to stop me," he said.

Bev Laundry was pleased with the results of her organisation. She said the runners were happy with the day and the people of Emu 'Park had made the fun run a success by the interest they had shown.

"It was marvellous the way the people were out of their homes at the front gate cheering us on. They had towells and water waiting. It made such a difference to see the interest the fun run had generated," she said.

Results: Open male, John Spence; open female, Sally Clark; junior male, Chris Watson; junior female, Nancy Clark; veteran male, Graeme Bloxsom.

DOLPHINS, 8, had a well earned win over Speedos, 3 in one of the Yeppoon Table Tennis matches held on September 22 at the' Cooee Bay Sports Complex.

Six of the rubbers went to the three games and Speedos were just unlucky not to get the points when required. No doubt the return of Prior to play with Dolphins had resulted in a marked improvement to that team.

• The singles match between Kruger, Dolphins, and Simpson, Speedos, was a great game to watch with Kruger narrowly winning the third game 21-19.

Prior also had a hard game with Simpson before going down 2-1. Simpson lost to Collins 2-1.

Montreals 7, defeated Lumberjacks, 4'with both teams playing substitutes. Substitute R. Miller, Lumberjacks, had a hard 2-1 win over Waller, Montreals.

Kellaway of Lumberjacks, Christensen and Phillips, both of Montreals, played well durings their matches.

Guppies and Bashers played the match of the night. These two teams have won one match each with the scores at 8-3 each with Guppies being fixture leaders.

Bashers 'were out to topple Guppies, . especially after their defeat the previous week by the wooden-spooners, Dolphins.

Right from the opening singles it was evident the match would have a close finish.

Stephens and Salton defeated O'Connor an Sherlock, 21-23, 21-19, 22-20.

The scores were 2-2 and level again after the second doubles, 4-4 when Stephens and Arnold defeated Sherlock and Day 2-1.

Salton then put Bashers ahead 5-4 with a 20 win over Day, only to see Sherlock defeat Arnold 2-0. The scores were then 5-5.

Once again it was left to O'Connor, Guppies, and Stephens, Bashers, to win for their teams. Stephens managed a close 21-19, 21-18 win to give the match to Bashers 6-5.

Players are reminded that affiliation fees are due. The draw for october 6 is Speedos v Guppies, Dolphins v Lumberjacks, Montreals v Bashers.
