NUMBER 17 DECEMBER 10 — DECEMBER 16, 1983

Welcome to 7 visitors WELCOME to the six Central Queensland Travel consultants visiting this weekend as guests of the Capricorn Coast Tourist Organisation.

Welcome also to the Japanese Consular-General visiting on Tuesday who will be meeting Livingstone Shire Councillors, chamber of commerce members and Iwasaki Tourist Resort representatives.

New chamber of commerce for study EMU PARK business people will be invited to attend "two or three" Yeppoon Chamber of Commerce meetings in the New Year.

This was decided at the chamber's meeting on Tuesday night when a letter from Emu Park Progress and Ratepayers' Association sought information about forming a chamber at Emu Park.

Members decided to invite a delegation to Yeppoon meetings so that the Emu Park contingent could decide whether to start their own chamber or join the Yeppoon members.

Secretary Connie Noyes said Yeppoon's constitution defined the area it would cover and this extended to Keppel Sands. Bob Leicht suggested the association be sent a copy of the constitution and a suggestion that a survey be carried out to see how many Emu Park businesses would join.

John Peach said the letter presented the opportunity for Yeppoon Chamber of Commerce to change its name to the Capricorn Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

"We have to start attracting industry. If we were a chamber of commerce and industry we would have more clout," he said.

The meeting then decided to arrange for a survey of all Coast businesses to see who was in business and what each business was doing.

NEW chairman of the National Party's Capricorn Coast branch Alan Stevenson said this week the branch executive was considering operating as "de facto Members for Callide".

He said the party had nothing against sitting independent Member Lindsay Hartwig but Callide, until recently, had always been a National Party seat.

"The party won the seat when it was first formed in 1949 and, until Mr Hartwig had his National Party endorsement withdrawn, was always our territory," Mr Stevenson said.

"As a result, the party's 13 branches that serve Callide have been geared up for years towards serving the people.

"We don't want this superb organisation to crumble. It seems logical to us that many National Party supporters would be used to dealing with their local branch when they want something done at State and Federal Government level.

"We know our way around the corridors of power. There are people in high places that can smooth out problems if only the problem is brought to their attention.

"These are the people the Callide National Party branches have been dealing with for years ... we don't want to lose touch with them."

Mr Stevenson said it wasn't as if he was trying to usurp Mr Hartwig's position. "I respect Parliament too much to do that," he said.

"But a lot of people want to deal directly with the party ... just as a lot of Australian Labor Party supporters would prefer to deal with people from within their own organisation.

"Mr Hartwig won the election as an independent. He had a lot of backers and they did a marvellous job for him ... but they can't devote the next three years to backing him.

The National Party branches know this and the members want the representation they are accustomed to to continue.

Mr Stevenson paid tribute to the work done by National Party Capricorn Coast branch chairman for 10 years, Cr Maurie Webb, who was elected senior vice-president at the annual meeting on Friday. Cr Mario Cresta was elected secretary and Garth Brownsdon treasurer.

Mr Stevenson said that as new chairman he would work toward forming a new branch at Emu Park and a Young National Party to cover the Coast.

Chamber meeting in brief CR BARBARA WILDIN told chamber members she was hoping a proposed meeting between Livingstone Shire council and Coast real estate agents would be extended to include surveyors.

She said she wanted the type of meeting where everyone could let loose with their complaints. Replying to John Peach's remark "it sounds like a wild old day", Cr Wildin said she thought this was probably what was needed to clear the air.

The chamber will write to council offering to set up the meeting. It was suggested an independent chairman be found for the day.

Yeppoon Chamber of Commerce treasurer, Howard Rodda, when reading his report on Tuesday night, said the mystery of where bank statements for the chamber's Interest Bearing Deposit had gone had been cleared up.

Seems the bank has been sending them to a Coast resident for the past few months. The resident's reaction must have been something along the lines of: "Who's this Uncle Chamber who keeps sending all this loot?"

BETTY HARLAND, on behalf of GB's, donated a painting of either Lammermoor or Kinka Beaches to present to the Japanese Consular-General when he lunches with chamber of commerce members on Tuesday.

The offer was made at the chamber's meeting on Tuesday night when the idea of a gift was discussed. Mrs Harland said the painting, by Coast artist Jenny Hannan, would be appropriate because it showed the Coast and was painted on the Coast.

Other works in this area which should take place early in the New Year will be a development of residential allotments and a bus turn around.

This work has been tendered out by the Lands Administration Commission. Initially this work was to be carried out by the council.

Unfortunately, the estimated cost of construction supplied from council's engineering department of $475,000 (including the cost of bitumen on Caroline Street at about $60,000), was not acceptable to the Lands Administration Commission.

This resulted in tenders being called and successful tender, a private contractor, got the job for a price of $289,000. Further comment is not necessary at this time.

Following correspondence from the Byfield Progress Association concerning a varied range of queries, Division two and three councillors are to have a meeting with representatives from that organisation on Tuesday, December 13.

The main query from the association is the allocation of army funds on Stanage Bay Road compared to Byfield Road.

They believe that the Byfield Road is not receiving its fair share and have written letters to the Auditor-General's Department seeking further information on the treatment of army funds received by the Livingstone Shire Council.

Another letter was written by the association to the Federal Minister for Housing and Construction, Mr Chris Hurford, regarding an investigation by that Department on the "method of claims for payment" by the Livingstone Shire Council over the past three years also on roads used by the army.

YEPPOON Chamber of Commerce sent a letter to Member for Callide Lindsay Hartwig congratulating him on his re-election.

Another letter was sent to Premier Joh' Bjelke-Petersen reminding him of his promise, when seeking re-election, that he would look after small business.

A copy of this letter was sent to Mr Hartwig and the Queensland Confederation of Industry.

Following the Parkhurst Boundary changes between Livingstone Shire Council and the Rockhampton City Council, which is now in the hands of the Minister for Local Government, further boundary changes could be discussed in the near future between Livingstone, Duaringa and Fitzroy Shires.

Already, there have been favourable comments and petitions from ratepayers in Division three for these moves to be instigated.

I am in favour of these diverse areas of the shire being transferred into shires which are more compatible with them.

This will then leave us with a more manageable local authority consisting mainly of the coastal strip and near hinterland.

Population increases resulting from increased development and tourism on the Capricorn Coast could make this a reality in a few more years.

Capricorn Coast Mirror December 10 — December 16, 1983 — 3

`Monster' auction today ends an era RAY CLARK will today watch the past 13 years of his life go under the hammer in the IG's Supermarket "monster closing down sale" ... and he said this week he would feel lost when it was gone.

It was quiet in the store ... the 20 per cent off sale signs were on the windows but there were no customers.

That was one of his worries. He had an estimated $25,000 worth of stock sitting on the shelves and he had to move it by yesterday.

"It's not as much as there usually is ... the full store had stock worth $100,000," he said.

"There was a time when the stock here was worth as much as $130,000."

But those days are gone. All that's left today is what's going under the hammer ... grocery display shelving, cold room, deep

freeze, dairy display unit, meat slicer, rotisserie, scales ... the things that customers take for granted when they want a bottle of milk, a carton of eggs.

Ray Clark, his wife Joan and son Ian have been part of the Yeppoon retail scene for 13 years since they bought the store on the corner of James and Mary Streets.

When asked why he was selling up he first joked about "old age" then said he just decided to get out. He has no set plans about what he intends doing but sapphires and opals will play a big part in his future.

"I bought a claim two years ago so I'll be sapphire and opal prospecting and there'll be some fishing and shooting," he said.

One of the IG staff, Tracey Albertsen of Atherton Street, Yeppoon, also doesn't know what she will be doing in the future. She was to finish up yesterday and, on Monday, did not have a job to go to.

She said she had been looking for a job but there was nothing going. She has worked at IG's for the past three and a half years ... the past five and a half months on the permanent staff.

"She can run the place," Mr Clark said.

"She's had plenty of experience."

Ian Clark is in a similar position. He will be staying in Yeppoon and will be looking around for something to do.

Today's auction starts at 10am. "The buyer wants the place as soon as possible to put five shops in here," Mr Clark said. "I n trying to meet him half-way by clearing out my stuff."

Walking around the store he pushed a grocery trolley out of the way ... "one of the customers wants to buy one for a laundry trolley. You know, these cost $120 when new.

The bigger model over there costs $'170."

The remaining stock had been shifted to shelves closer to the checkouts. Mr Clark looked around and said he would miss it ... particularly the customers.

"Some of them have been coming here from the day we started," he said. "I want to thank them and all the people who supported us through the years."

Top prize for brightest decorations YEPPOON Chamber of Commerce is offering a $50 cash prize and a $100 "certificate" as prizes for the brightest business between now and Christmas.

The idea is that businesses will get into the festive spirit and brighten up the town.

Chamber treasurer Howard Rodda made the suggestion for the competition for the best decorated shop with the most Christmas spirit.

It was decided that the prize be $50 cash and a certificate. During discussion over what type of certificate would be best for the winner, the Capricorn Coast Mirror offered to put the certificate in 6000 newspapers in a quarter-page, "certificate" worth $100.

The winner will be decided by a panel of chamber of commerce judges and the winner announced in the Capricorn Coast Mirror on December 31.

Consultants guests at CCTO dinner

0 ABOVE: Ray Clark stands under the sign that marks the end of 13 years retail trading in Yeppoon.

.......

...

SIX more travel consultants from Central Queensland will be given a first-class familiarisation tour of the Coast this weekend as guests of the Capricorn Coast Tourist Organisation.

Four of the consultants are from Gladstone and two from Moranbah. .One of the Gladstone consultants, Mark Winters, is back for a second look.

He attended the previous familiarisation tour and said then that it was the first time he had seen the Capricorn Coast.

Visits by travel consultants are designed to pay long-term dividends. CCTO president Brian Hooper said the idea was that consultants had a first-hand look at the Coast, and what it had to offer, and can better advise clients on a holiday here.

CCTO treasurer Fay Simon said this week the travel consultants' party was planned to be bigger with more coming from Bundaberg but these people would now visit in the New Year.

The six agents here this weekend willbe taken on the "figure 8" tour of the Coast today and be special guests at the CCTO's Christmas dinner function tonight at Keppel Bay Sailing Club.

They will be shown Great Keppel Island tomorrow.

Rockhampton Mayor Ald Jim Webber will be guest speaker at tonight's dinner and he will give an address on the plans for the 3200metre runway at Rockhampton airport.

Entertainment includes three top acts and dancing. About 100 business people will attend.

During the night, the CCTO will launch the new Capricorn Coast tourist logo. This willbe offered for sale to all business houses on the Coast.

Mr Hooper said tourism was vital to the successful development of the Capricorn Coast because without community participation, tourism was a dead issue.

"Ald Webber's news on the Rockhampton airport should prove very comforting and encouraging for our continued development and the creation of many job opportunities for our young people."

Mrs Giorgi said people or groups intending to set up stall need only turn up on Sunday morning.

"It's a case of first in, best sites," she said.

Stalls will not be allowed to sell fizzy drinks, pies, chips or sweets. "I don't want the flea market to operate in competition with the existing businesses," Mrs Giorgi said.

She said she would particularly like to see a stall offering ceramics for sale because she would like to see more interest in this craft on the Coast.

"I am contemplating opening a shop here which would devote a lot of space to ceramics," she said. "I have a lot of high quality Italian ceramics and I think many Coast potters would benefit from seeing these works of art.

"A store dealing with this sort of work mean Coast people had an outlet for their work. It could do them a lot of good."

Mrs Giorgi said the flea market would be a good place to test the public's reaction to ceramics.

Anyone wanting to set up a stall should take their own table and beach umbrella.

"The umbrellas will not only provide relief from the heat but give the market a colourful atmosphere," Mrs Giorgi said.

"There won't be any charge for a genuine charity looking for some way to raise money.

All they have to do is turn up with whatever they want to sell and their stall and they're in business."

Mrs Giorgi said the free stalls for charity was the best way she could devise to help the community. "I thought of donating some of the stall takings to charity but it was too complicated trying to sort out how much to give what groups," she said. "It's better if they come along and their own efforts will decide how much they make."

The first flea market will be held tomorrow (Sunday) and every second Sunday in the month through 1984.

Captive croc builds nest and lays eggs

No support for `satellite town'

JOHN LEVER of Koorana Crocodile Farm said this week one of the female crocodiles had built a nest and had laid eggs.

This is the first of the captured crocodiles to show that she has settled in so well that she is prepared to raise young.

Mr Lever said he did not know how many eggs she had laid but expected it would be between 50 and 80. He said he would not disturb her until an incubator he was preparing was ready.

The crocodile is nine feet (almost three metres) long. Her eggs will take 80 days to hatch.

Mr Lever said plans to open the crocodile farm, at Coowonga, near Keppel Sands, were well advanced.

o ABOVE: Heidi and Trudy Farrow of Cawarral met Santa at the Scope Christmas party on Saturday night ... and couldn't wait to climb on his knees and tell him just what they wanted for Christmas.

Santa to tour Coast on December 18 THERE'S no need to worry that Santa has missed you ... he will be in your street on December 18.

That's the message from Lex Semple who's worried that Capricorn Coast children — and adults — feel that Santa has passed them by.

The reason for his concern is that the real Santa, the one who comes around every Christmas sitting in his sleigh on top of Lex's Holden station wagon, has been making so many visits lately that some children feel they have missed out.

"There's a bigger demand than ever for Santa this year," he said. "The car has been running around the Coast from one function to another and the kids have noticed it.

"They've been running along the road behind us calling out but we've been on our way to different parties all along the Coast. It was only on the weekend that I realised a lot of the kids probably thought Santa was in too big a hurry to say hello and throw them a present."

Mr Semple said the annual visit by Santa around all the streets was, as always, on again this year ... on December 18.

The trips the children see at the moment are just Santa's helpers going to barbecues and socials. The December 18 visit is the big

one ... Santa, in his red finery, seated in his sleigh on the top of the car, the amplified 'ho, ho, ho' and individual greetings, the waves and the wake of running children looking for the bags of sweets thrown by Santa's bikiniclad helpers.

Mr Semple said this week he got the idea for the visit by Santa when taking his children for a swim at the Causeway 10 years ago.

"We were sitting sround enjoying ourselves when Santa came by and gave each of the children a toy. They loved it ... it just made their day and gave everyone there the right feeling for Christmas," he said.

"I had a talk with a few people involved and discovered it was run by the progress association. I thought it would be a good idea to extend Santa's visit along the entire Coast because it would be something for the locals and tourists to enjoy."

Mr Semple said Ray Armstrong was the first Santa ... he sat on a cushion on top of Mr Semple's car with two girls and they had music playing ... "4R0 gave us a tape and Brian Dorey organised the toys through the Lions."

It was a good start but I came home from that trip and started designing the sleigh and reindeers that was used until last year," he said.

"We changed over to sweets because the area and the number of children grew yearby-year." The Lions provide the sweets at a cost this year of $250.

There's no shortage of willing Santas ... this year, John Wilkins is coming from Dysart to spend at least 12 hours on the roof of the vehicle in a hot suit.

Mr Semple does the driving because he knows where to go ... he maintains the vehicle, and the sleigh, and the two red suits and the beards. The beards only last four years ... something to do with spending hours at a time on the roof of a car in all weathers.

And each one costs $70.

Like the spirit of Christmas the visits by Santa are free along the Coast. "A few Rockhampton groups have paid the cost of petrol when we go that far but it's always free to anyone along the Coast," Mr Semple said.

"As long as they want it I'll keep doing it.

Just seeing the kids happy is all the reward I want. If anyone paid me I wouldn't be doing my bit for the community."

FOOTNOTE: Santa will be around on December 18 ... even if it rains. If it floods he will be around on Christmas Eve. Like the mail,-Santa always gets through.

He expects to have the first section open by the middle of next month. A barbecue area has been finished and the huge man-made lake has been partly stocked with 50 crocodiles ... including the farm's biggest which is 12 feet or almost four metres long.

Mr Lever said he expected to be able to arrange for a VIP to officially open the crocodile farm's tourist section by February or March.

The past few weeks, because of the winddown of the school year, there have been a number of children taken through the farm in groups organised by their teachers.

The children are shown crocodiles and allowed to handle them, under supervision.

Jet skis look for location

THE Livingstone Shire Council has decided not to support, at this stage, a proposed major residential development at Barmoya, which one councillor has described as being virtually a satellite town.

A development submission from A.J. and M.K. Hoffman Pty Ltd on behalf of S. Troiani proposed 400 one hectare allotments with an ultimate population of 1400 people.

The submission provided for two stages, of 150 and 250 lots — 8km and 9.5km from Yeppoon respectively.

The developer planned a bridge over Limestone Creek which now separates the two areas of land.

Council's town planner, Mr Jim Birrell, said the total 1500ha scheme was an enormous scale of development which was outside Yeppoon's existing essential services and which was in conflict with preferred patterns of development.

Mr Birrell said the proposal had not demonstrated suitability of the area for one hectare lots and an environmental impact statement had not been provided.

He said such a large development would make excessive demands on water resources and council would require a lot more information from the applicant.

Cr Webb said the proposal virtually was for a new town.

A PROPOSAL to hire jet-skis at the Causeway Lake on the Capricorn Coast will be delayed until a suitable location is found.

The applicant for the hire service, Mr Ross Mclndoe, proposes operating the skis on the north arm of the lake, however the Livingstone Shire Council believes this would conflict with existing passive water activities in that area.

Councillors have discussed an alternative area on the southern side of the Causeway Lake. Cr Cresta said council should not knock any project which promoted tourism.

"Tourism is the only thing keeping this place alive," he said.

Councillors agreed to meet Mr Mclndoe to discuss possible alternative sites for his project at the lake.

Coast guitarist cutting an album GREG HOSE, son of Judy and Brian Hose, Kinka Lodge, spent two weeks with his family, away from the bright lights of Sydney.

He is a member of a band Delandro', playing bass guitar and synthesizers.

Guy Delandro, the boss of the group, has had a publishing contract for seven years with Warners who are affiliated with WEA (Australia).

"Guy advertised for musicians, I applied and got the job six months ago," said Greg. "I've done four gigs since then at Central Coast Leagues Club, Gosford, Mossvale Services Club, The Enfield Boulevarde and Mossman Hotel."

"It is a mini-album of seven tracks and a single, 'Drive Me Wild' will be released round the middle of January, 1984. We will be appearing on Countdown and the clip will be distributed through the media," Greg said.

He said that their music is modern rock with a lot of synthesized background.

Greg works for Sound on Stage during the day, a company that prepares sound equipment, amplifiers, etc for performing artists and feels that this has helped him prepare for on-stage work.

While here on the Coast, Greg celebrated a belated 21st birthday with his parents, Judy and Brian Hose, sister Leanne and her husband, Nev Smith, cousins Kerry Fineman from Moranbah and Butch Moloney, aunt and uncle, Penny and Gary Moloney, and friends, Judith Watts, Jenny Foley, John and Tricia Gilluley, Dale and Rhonda Burns, Julian Ireland and Laurie Newman.

MOTOR-CYCLE Riders Association vice president, John Brinkley works for Telecom.

Now that probably doesn't mean much to you, but it does to Pat Andersen Real Estate and the Capricorn Coast Mirror.

The story started about three weeks ago when Pat Andersen decided that she would like to move back into her old room. Problem was that we were in it and the phones would have to be moved. Now, Pat has a lot of trouble with phones when they are moved, either they don't work, or her number gets changed ... the reason for this problem is that there are quite a few phones in a small area.

Anyway, last Monday, John Brinkley turned up to move the phones. What, today? was the cry. Well, if anyone had called in to either the Real Estate or Mirror office they would have seen real chaos.

Newspapers create more paper, Real Estate also creates paper. There were more trees in the office than at Byfield.

We all settled in and ... Pat's phone didn't work.

This rambling is leading up to the fact that we have moved into Pat's old office and she is in ours. But that's not all.

The Motor-cycle Riders' Association will do a 'toy run' from Rockhampton via Emu Park to the Bush Children's Home in Todd Avenue, today, Saturday.

Past members Mrs Adams and Mrs Moss, with their husbands, will attend the branch Christmas party on December 13, which also happens to be the publicity officer, Helen Wright's birthday.

The old building needs a new roof so plans are underway for a monster Garden Party before Easter, 1984.

MADONNA Barraclough invites all residents and visitors of the Capricorn Coast to a wine and cheese art opening on Sunday, December 18 at 4pm at 38 Matthew Flinders Drive, Cooee Bay. The exhibition consists of work done by her Figure Drawing and Painting class for the College of TAFE. This is the second TAFE class that Madonna has conducted and the first time that she has conducted an exhibition like this for students with and without prior experience.

Her 10 students have been applying themselves over the past eight weeks to learn about the human figure and expand their individual means of expression.

Madonna considers that the exhibition is an extension of the course as an overall development. It seems to be worth the doubt and worry when you see your work in a frame and on display.

The exhibition will be held in the studioworkshop where the classes have been conducted and the house is also being used for gallery space.

Madonna will also have some of her work on display with her students' and all works will be available for purchase.

"AN Afternoon in Hawaii" was the theme of last week's social of the Emu Park Pensioners' League.

Against a background of palm trees and frangipanni blossoms, The Evergreens opened the afternoon with a medley of Hawaiian melodies.

And the island atmosphere was further enhanced when Yeppoon's Irene (piano) and Bill Jones (electric guitar) played a bracket of Hawaiian numbers which induced Emu Park's Rosa Moss to don the traditional grass skirt and delighted the 130 present with a dance from her homeland. It was Rosa's first appearance as an artist at a pensioners' social and she will be in demand at future afternoons.

Yeppoon's Key and Pauling West sang a duet and solos were contributed by Sarah Hall, Gary Warren (Yeppoon) and Albert Bonding (Rockhampton), Pearl Curry (Emu Park) tap-danced and the Evergreens' pianist Winnie Nelson recited.

A visitor from Townsville, Jean Thwaites, pleased with a bracket of numbers on the organ, the Emu Park League's Crazy Billabong Bush Band played a medley of popular numbers and Norm Hill and Harold Watson (Rockhampton) set the seal on an enjoyable afternoon with a piano-accordianflexitone duet.

Millie Kitchener played for the monte carlo which was won by Ella Lewis and Joyce Buehow, Syd Wills of Kinka Beach held the lucky door number and raffle prizes went to Mr Muller, Mrs Remecka (Rockhampton) and Mrs Dulcie Cooper (Yeppoon) and Miss Barbara Moss of Emu Park.

Morale boost for St James

Super-roo wins division 1 race

( ST JAMES Indoor Bolwing Club's morale '0.--eceived a tremendous boost at the end of year game when their team of Agnes and Key Olive, Keith and Mavis Chant and Ivy and Gordon Mallory finished in the top position for the Len Laver Shield at the Rockhampton Bowls Centre on December 3.

They defeated St Vincent's, Park Avenue Number 2, Yeppoon Indoor Bowling Club and had a draw with Park Avenue Number 1 for three and a half wins and an aggregate of 37 points. Park Avenue number 1 was second with 32 points.

This win was a fitting climax to a successful year of club activities and social bowls, and is a good indicator for 1984.

The win is the first time that St James' club has ever won any of the Association's shields and is proud of the efforts of the members and all those who took part.

The club held their annual Christmas party on December 3 which consisted of a luncheon and social afternoon which was well attended.

Club president, George Miller, wished members the compliments of the season, congratulated them on a successful year and said that everything pointed to a good 1984.

Mrs Kath Mclllrath was compere, Garry Warren and John Dowie entertained the guests with music and songs, while Leila Goodwin accompanied the sing-a-long.

Club patron, Dick Bird, won the lucky door and Mrs Effie Richards and Mrs Avis Mallory )ok home the raffles. Mrs Richard and her „Ate husband, Bill, were two of the club's first members.

The Christmas cake was made and iced by club secretary, Mrs Audrey Abel and cut by Mrs Dot Bird, Mrs Effie Richards provided posies for all women members.

Reverend Father Tom Rogers, on behalf of his wife and himself, bade the club members farewell. He retires at the end of the year and will be leaving the ministry.

DICK Prater sailing his laser, Super-Roo, took out last Sunday's Division 1 racing.

Second was Ron Tyler sailing his laser, Coherent Light, third place was Tsarina, J. Budd, followed by Alicia, N. Dwyer.

Division 2 was won by Sam Gettens and crew, sailing Humdinger (Sharpie), followed

by Awinya, J. Martin, second, 14ft Cat, Ian Musker, third and True Grit, M. Walter fourth.

Peter Taylor again won the windsurfer division with a one minute margin. Peter was followed by Jim Duncan, second, Ian Groves, third, and Warren Rice fourth.

The sabots (1 up) class was won by J. Sims, Skimma, second J. Browne, Kamakaze, and third S Anderson, Jaun. The 2 up placings were, first, L. Vaughn, Rocky Boy, and second, M. Sims, Rocky Star.

Tomorrow, Sunday, will be the last race day until New Year. The Christmas break-up is at the club on December 18.

108 play for shield at YIBC THE first of Yeppoon Indoor Bowling Club's Christmas functions was held last week when 108 players turned out for the Buchholz Shield fixture.

The shield was given to the club for competition by the late Hugh Buchholz, who was their first patron. For the past few years the fixture has been run in conjunction with Frenchville Club and YIBC's Christmas party. But this year, Emu Park's Singing Ship Club was invited to the day.

The winning team with 29 points was Ivy Mallory, Grace Davis, Errol Ward, Mavis

Scott, Fay Wittman and Edna Bauman.

Following the morning's play the three clubs sat down to a luncheon which was highlighted by a Christmas cake made by club member, Rene Dalglish. Club patron, Joe Seeman cut the cake which was distributed to the members present.

YIBC were runners-up in the MacNevin Shield played at the Rockhampton and District Indoor Bowls Association centre.

The winners were Central Stars with 11 games. YIBC on 10 games, second and Park Avenue third with nine games.

RAY POWELL won the 18-hole stableford at Yeppoon Golf Club on Wednesday with 46 points ... and took two strokes off his handicap.

John Noyes and N Cooper had 44 points.

In the associates' event, Diane Brown had 37 points and Joan Chandler won both pin shots.

Jim Anderson, JOhn Noyes and Taffy Griffiths turned in an excellent score of 58 nett to win the 18-hole Ambrose competition held on December 3.

A large field turned out for this competition for teams of three. It was a pleasure to watch Jim Anderson play beautiful golf. Taffy Griffiths putted a 40-footer and sunk many other fine putts. John Noyes played his usual cunning game. They also had an eagle on the fifth.

Despite the wet weather on December 4, 32 members and 14 associates turned out.

The members played for the monthly medal.

It resulted in a tie between Jack Stratford, Tom Edmonston and Al Ritchie with a 67 nett.

(The club correspondent said calculators were available, if necessary.)

Jack Barnes had an eagle on the 10th and pin shots on number 6. Jack Stratford had the pin shot on number 8, David Hogg on number 11 and Tom Edmonston on number 16 (40 feet from pin).

The associates played an 18-hole stableford competition which was won by Denise Lacey, a visitor from Rockhampton, with 34 points on a count back from Beryl Taylor.

Runner up was Colleen Schuster with 31 points.

Jack Newton Day will be held today and members will play a stroke competition for Peter Green's trophy. Members play a 4bbb ss arrange partners for the Jack Barnes trophy. Associates play a stroke and putting competition, 18-hole appreciation to Ralph .Clay, Alan Launchbury, Tom Saxsby and Lionel Taylor for their assistance in laying grass on number one fairway's stony area on Monday morning.

Associates, and members, are asked to bring a "damper" today. Billy tea and Irish stew will be supplied by the associates ... at a price.

Club correspondent "Monty" Montgomery said that previously it had been suggested that the bar be opened on Friday afternoons for those who require "a bit of refreshment".

He said there was no response until last Friday. "I hope the house director and his committee keep it up, particularly over this extremely hot period," he said.

"Anyway, think of the finance gained if it was made know to the club." He said there were 35 cars in the parking area but most of the members thought the bar was closed as usual.

FOOTNOTE: Suggestion to club captain ... how about giving a medal for A, B and C grade instead of handing out numerous medals in the event of a tie.

Top squash at grand finals Yeppoon Squash Club's grand finals were held on Wednesday night in all grades and some top squash was witnessed.

In the A grade match between Chris Callard and Darryl Walker, Callard won 3-0 as was expected because Walker was a substitute.

Callard played well all around the court but his most telling shots were the excellent drop shots which had Walker gasping.

When Brett Stewart met Barnard Lacey both were a bit nervous to start. Lacey played well in the first game and looked like taking it.

Both made a lot of mistakes because of nervousness but Stewart scraped in 10-9. He went on to win 3-0.

Trevor Kime got off to a good start against J Bygrave winning the first game 9-1. But Bygrave put the disadvantages of a heavy head-cold aside in the second game and won convincingly 9-3. He won the third 9-0 but Kime put his act together to eventually win 3-2 and give the Eels the trophy over the Flatheads. Although the match had been decided, Nobs Drillis and Craig Stewart played an exciting match which Drillis won 31 In B grade, Perch won the grand final against Sharks. The games were all hard fought. Ted Upton v Chris Briggs, Briggs won 3 - 1. Terry Pulsford v Jason Tappin, Tappin won 3 - 1. Tony Petcopoulus v Clarrie Chappell, Petcopoulus won 3 - 0. Lyn Harper v Ray Campbell, Harper won 3 - 0.

Flatheads beat Perch in the C grade grand final by one game. Scott Witts d Louise Clements, 3 - 0. Terry Simpson d Carmel O'Brien, 3 - 0. Darren O'Brien d John Harker, 3 - 1. Sion Griffiths d Rohan Matthews, 2 - 0.

D grade grand finalists were Perch. Andy Jones d Lionel Dale, 3 - 0. Judy Minter d Vicki McKewan, 3 - 0. Kelly Gates d Jill Laws, 3 - 0.

Cheryl Moss d Doug Miur, 3 - 2. Darren Corney d Jean Graff, 3 - 0.

JOAN WHYTE of Kinka Beach dropped in to say her son Stewart was showing visitor around Coast on weekend when the visitor saw a large group of white-clad people, eyes lifted, looking at someone on the roof of the club house. "Look at that," he shouted, "a revival meeting." It wasn't ... and the picture can be seen on this page. o SOME things do come out a little differently from what people intend ... chamber of commerce president Pat Andersen on Tuesday night announced that the Japanese Consular-General would be lunching with chamber members this Tuesday from 12.30pm: "Get there early so he can depart dead at 2pm". It took her a while to figure out why everyone was laughing. o o o ANNETTE VAN GESTEL of Emu Park rang this week to ask if it was true that phone calls between the Coast and Rockhampton were now being charged at STD rates. Called Telecom and a spokesman said he "doubted it but would check". Told him I would hold on if it wasn't STD but he could ring me back if it was. Seconds later the mystery was cleared up ... seems Telecom has been sending out pamphlets with accounts and they have created confusion. The pamphlets have mentioned "countrywide calls" and "community calls". They don't apply on the Coast. The spokesman said trunks or STD calls from the Coast applied to Ridgelands and Bajool (15 cents for each 90 seconds in day time) and to Mt Morgan and Westwood (15 cents for every 45 seconds). Inside that area it's just 15 cents ... outside, well, that's when the bill gives you the pip, pip, pip. o o o THERE'S always someone who wants to top someone else's yarn ... Bob Barton of Prospect Street, Statue Bay, brought in a picture and story following my whinges about the typesetter. The setting is 1941, Diggers at Tobruk have a problem with rumours harmful to morale, and the answer is seen to be a daily newspaper. Bill Williams, who became editor of the Tobruk Truth, was called in one day and told to produce a daily news service "from 1700 hours today". Bill Williams scrounged around, found a damaged Italian duplicator, fixed it, found stencils and ink, and used the back of Italian army forms for paper. The news was taken down in shorthand from the BBC and produced ... daily. It survived with the old press until a new one was brought from Egypt. A 1500pound bomb demolished the "press room" and falling masonry made the press "bomb happy" from then on ... but it kept coming out. "Always Appears" was the paper's motto. It earned it. \ Thanks Bob for a darn good story.
