Hartwig 'looking into' running for chairman's job MEMBER for Callide Lindsay Hartwig is "looking into" running for chairman of Livingstone Shire next year ... but he says his main concern is the shire's debt.

Mr Hartwig said he wanted to spend some time at the council before he would commit himself any further.

"I have told several leading identities who have asked me to run for chairman that I will have a look at it without committing myself," Mr Hartwig said on Wednesday afternoon.

He would not commit himself because he wanted to see what the shire's debt situation was like. "The last time I looked, which was a few years ago, there was something like 44 per cent of rate revenue being spent on administration and another 40 per cent going on interest payments on loans," Mr Hartwig said.

"There was only 15 or 20 per cent left to do anything with."

He said this meant the council had to take out a loan every time it wanted to do some work. "They've created a monster ... the council is living on borrowed money," Mr Hartwig said.

When asked directly would he be running for chairman, Mr Hartwig said: "Who'd want to inherit a mess like that at 65. I'd love to do it, I could really make this place kick, but ..."

He said the council had a lot of problems.

"Their public relations leaves a lot to be desired. The council has to talk to people. It has to sit down with the people and talk to them."

Another problem involved staffing: "They've • got three men doing one man's

work. People have to be given something for their rates," he said.

He did more than detail the council's problems; he gave some hints as to what he might do to "give the place a kick" if he decided to stand and is elected.

"We've got to get more people to come here to live," he said. "The only way to do that is to keep rates and charges down and at the sme time , you have to keep the workforce working. You can't let an area stagnate."

He said a woman spoke to him about wanting to retire on the Coast but she decided against it when she found out about the rates.

Residents can't meet council bills A man building a block of units told him he had never run into so much obstruction in his life. "He's 'building a block of units that will be a boost to the area but he said every time he wanted to know, about something involving the council he was given the answer about `that's council policy'," Mr Hartwig said.

"We've got to give sub-dividers their head, help them to develop the Coast so that more people can come here to live.

The problem is that the people who are living here can't meet the costs that are being imposed now."

Mr Hartwig did not say when he would be looking into the council debt situation nor when he expected to make a decision on whether _to- run as chairmaii:

eoPle' need not apply 2Yes p THE outspoken minority in the Livingstone' Shire Council is aiming to boost its numbers and form a majority in the March council election "in a bid to peg rates".

Cr Mario Cresta said on Wednesday he was not prepared to comment on whether he had a "like-thinking team" ready to stand at the election.

But he said all that was needed for a "majority" was seven people who were not "yes people".

He said he gladly admitted that he formed part of a minority of three in council which frequently split from the other 10 councillors over issues.

"I don't mind being called a stirrer," he said.

But while Cr Cresta said he hoped to "peg rates" he admitted they would not go down ... "they're here to stay", he said.

Cr Cresta said he would not comment on

Home builder's delight

whether a "leader" had been chosen to stand as chairman, but he was looking for people with "more busines acumen" to go into council.

He said he would not stand as chairman, because he had only been in council for one term and did not feel qualified at this stage.

He was "looking for people that are not `yes' people who can make up their own minds and not rely on professional decisions".

Cr Cresta said the professional people in council, such as engineers, health surveyors and people in other speciality areas, should be kept as advisers, but should not be allowed to enter into debate.

"Council was itself to blame (for the 1984/85 rates increase) because we aren't running a tight ship," Cr Cresta said.

He said there was a need for a "reputable firm to carry out an investigation into each

department in council” to look into efficiency.

"Loan repayments were a major money matter, but council could not just jump off the loan market, instead it had to graduate off it."

The issue of loans is one which , drew comment from various councillors following . the new budget.

Chairman Cr Roy Wall said some loans went back 30 or 40 years and interest has escalated from 5 per cent to 16 or 17 per cent.

But he said "if we don't have loans, we con't have development."

He suggested a solution might lie in cutting back loans and containing development in the shire to within the town plan.

Cr Nev Welfare said council had to "get off the loan market".

"Loan redemption is swallowing up our useable money," he said.

Budget increases combine with across-the-board spending cuts

THE 1984/85 Livingstone Shire Council budget, which has hit many ratepayers with hefty increases, also includes an across-theboard cut-back in expenditure. .

Operating expenses for the Emu Park Cultural Hall will be reduced by $6000.

Council's workshop plant and equipment will drop by $4000, plant sales will be reduced to $305,000.

Other plant costs will also drop $11,000 and purchases reduced by $15,000. The herdsman's vehicle will not be replaced.

Fares and removal costs of council staff will drop $2000.

All council members fees, including the chairman's, remain constant, without CPI increases.

Maintenance shire office costs will drop $5000.

Telephone and communications will be reduced $3550. All council officers with council phones in their residences, with the exception of the shire clerk and the engineer, will be isued with a statement of STD and trunk calls.

Covering dumps outside cleansing areas will be dropped by $7900 and town planning costs will be $11,000 lower than last year.

Donations will be reduced by $9000.

The donation to the Emu Park Historical Museum fund was reduced by $3,000 and the donation to the Yeppoon Historical Society was dropped totally. $15,000 allocated for painting the Yeppoon Town Hall was dropped.

Town street maintenance will drop $20,500 for the year.

`No more loans' A LIVINGSTONE Shire councillor this week said he wanted council to get out of the loans market and not accept any more loans.

0 Continued from page 1 Cr Welfare said 76 per cent of council's money went in administration and loan redemption.

"It's creeping up year-by-year. It's only ,a matter of time until that figure is 100 per cent."

Cr Welfaie said the budget was a consequence that goes with a developing shire with "this peculiar layout".

He said the high rates came about because the dollars were stretched so far.

But Cr Welfare said far from being a coverup, the budget was blunt, straight to the point and reflected the current situation.

"We're notAher to try to do damage. We're there to try to do the best we can with what tools we have."

Cr Bill Rea was referring to a $1.8 million loan, part of the 1984-85 borrowing programme, which was offered to council.

The loan from the Commonwealth Bank was also criticised for incurring a 13 per cent interest rate.

But council was 'told other interest rates had been looked into and no cheaper ones had been found.

In a letter tabled at the budget meeting, council was told payment of interest and the loan are to be made by "seven equal halfyearly instalments of $150,115.86 with a final instalment of $1,616,412.09 at the end of four years".

The letter said the bank was prepared to renegotiate the amount outstanding at the end of the first four-year-period and again at the end of another four years — giving a pay-back time of 12 years.

0 by Cr Mario Cresta "Massive rates slug hits Coast" THE above headline would have confirmed most ratepayers' suspicions on recent articles hinting at problems and cushioning the blow before the budget meeting held on August 6.

The first hint came in the Capricorn Coast Mirror's "Coastal Council Comment" of the July 1,4 - 20 issue following the pre-budget meetings of July 10 - 12. There was a suggestion that one way to cure the growing pains of the shire was to stop all major works for a year or maybe even two or three years. I find this an incredible statement for anyone to make for this would mean dismissing the entire workforce for the same number of years. Without going too deeply into it, that suggestion would be unthinkable.

The second hint designed . to cushion the blow was an article in the Coastal Comment of July 21 - 27 issue, where the writer had a two bob-each-way bet, and one cannot be sure who was copping thq blame for the impending slug on rates.

However, there seemed to be a slight suggestion that the Development Industry in this shire is not paying its way. The gramophone needle seems to get stuck in this spot quite often when the going gets tough. Once again, I would like to point out, just in case there is any doubt among the ratepayers, just how the system works.

The council sets all charges and conditions for persons who wish to carry out any development whatsoever in the shire. If these charges set by the council are too low or too high, the council has noone to blame but,-itself.

As we live in a democracy, the people who are not happy with the council's charges and conditions have the right to appeal to a Local Government Court. In every case taken to court so far this term, the judge has reduced the charges imposed by the council.

This then proves that the people who are having a go to improve themselves, improve our town and create employment which we badly need, are paying their way.

The third, and most recent hint that there was an impending rate hike was an article claiming that the Livingstone Shire Council was owed $500,000 in rates arrears. This may be so, but on checking I found this to be nothing new as it has been par for the course to have between $300,000 and $500,000 owing to the council at June 30 for many years.

It is so easy to blame somebody else when things appear to go wrong and drag. the old red herrings across the trail.

I would suggest that council have a good, hard look in its own back yard to make sure everything there is in order.

I have tried on several occasions to have certain controversial matters investigated by council in accordance with Section 17 of the Local Government Act, but so far, I have not been able to get the numbers to bring these matters to light. This matter will be pursued in another forum.

A councillor's lot in this shire has not been any easy one. I don't mind admitting that I have been in the minority for most of the controversial resolutions in council so far this term. however, my contribution to this alarming state of affairs will be the moving of a resolution at the August meeting along these lines: "that council seek the services of a reputable firm to carry out some form of time and motion studies into every department of the Livingstone Shire Council, to see if we can improve our efficiency' in running the shire."

I hope the above suggestion is taken as a constructive way of trying to do something positive to peg our rates at a reasonable level.

Expenditure on some projects LIVINGSTONE Shire Council approved expenditure for a variety of programmes. .$2500 was included in the budget for sports and the $3500 already approved for construction of toilets and a dressing shed at Emu park was increased to $15,000.

A further $25,000 was approved for planning Emu Park sewerage.

Two ladies toilets and one gents toilet will be built in the dressing shed building at the southern end of Yeppoon's main beach at a cost of $5000..

Legal expenses were increased by $2000 and salaries and wages of library staff were increased $1100. $25,000 was allocated for beach restoration, $10,000 of which is earmarked for Keppel Sands.

Cr Maurie Webb agreed the budget was an honest one.

He said a suggestion that council wouldn't be prepared to make this a tough budget because of the pending election was proved wrong, and council had acted responsibly by not leaving the burden for new councillors to face.

Cr Barbara Wildin said the budget emphasised the need for a shire's infrastructure to stay within its town plan.

She said supplying water to outlying areas, not in the town plan was very costly.

Another reason the rates had increased was that they had been kept so low years ago, (while loans were still being taken out) and people were paying for it now.

Cr Wildin said councillors pay rates too (she is in one of the highest hit areas) and the irates had been put up out of necessity not 'because councillors were "mean and miserable".

11 She said the budget compared "pretty favourably" with other developing shires.

Deputy Chairman CR Dick Tennent said he was reasonably happy with the budget with the exception of the water increases.

He said he believed the water situation would require council's "undivided attention from now on".

One possibility was to adopt the "user pays" method.

Council should also look closely at water loans and make sure interest from investments went straight back into the water undertaking fund rather than the general fund.

Cr Tennent said by putting perhaps half the annual commonwealth grant toward capital works, loans could be reduced.

But the idea of getting out of the loans market altogether was not practicable because loans subsidised the ratepayers.

He said an "intolerable burden" would be placed on the ratepayers without the aid of loans.

They also spread costs among future ratepayers as well as current ones, he said.

Cr Lawrie Daley said while he didn't consider the general rates were "too bad" he "couldn't vote for the water increases".

He said the urban general rate had increased at about the same rate as road works.

The Capricorn Coast had inherited the water scheme and it had been inadequate for years, he said.

The loans situation was a catch-22 ... cut back on loans and you have to cut back on development, he said.

But development and the subdivisior{ of land was needed to spread the rate burden more fairly, he said.

Engineer or town planner debate finally resolved at budget meet THE on-going debate of whether to add another engineer or an in-house town planner to the Livingstone Shire Council staff has finally been resolved.

At this week's budget meeting, council voted to allocate funds for a town planner and not proceed with adding another engineer to the staff.

Council has already advertised for an engineer with town planning experience and a number of applicants have been interviewed by council chief engineer Tony Rowe, chairman Cr Roy Wall said.

But council voted unanimously not to employ another engineer.

Some councillors expressed concern over the possibility of employing a town planner straight from university.

This made up the majority of available town planners, they said.

But Cr Wall said the State Government -as willing to train an inexperienced town ,.._.anner over a period of three months or more.

Councillors agreed they would prefer to see the .person trained for 12 months if possible, by the State Government.

• Cr Wall said while the government was training a new town planner it would fill the vacant position with one of their own staff.

"This seems to be the long term answer we've been chasing for three years," Cr Nev Welfare said.

He said it was a "golden opportunity" to get exactly what council needed.

By employing an in-house town planner, council would eventually be able to phase out the current consultant town planner, except for extremely large jobs.

Deputy Shire Chairman Cr Dick Tennent said council was paying $91,000 a year for the consultant town planner. An in-house town planner would cost $32,000.

Cr Welfare said a council town planner would be able to provide "personalised service" and give "town planning reports on the spot".

He said with the number of approvals council sees per month, it was "certainly warranted".

"Some poeple might think those approvals are diminishing ... they certainly aren't," he said.

Livingstone Shire budget lifts all charges ... rates and water soar LIVINGSTONE Shire Council's 1984/85 budget was passed this week with heft increases for ratepayers, especially in the areas of water rates and rural general rates.

Steep increases of up to 30, 40 and 50 per cent characterised the $10 million budget, which one councillor said was "no vote winner".

Livingstone Shire Council chairman Cr Roy Wall said he believed some people would be "horrified" by the budget.

But he added that most people were aware that steep rises were in store.

The biggest jump in general rates was for rural residential, with an increase of 38.09 per cent.

Council accountant Frank McDevitt said the increase was due to a below-par increase last year.

Other rural dwellers will pay 11.47 per cent more and people living in urban areas are in for a 10.64 per cent increase.

Cr Wall said although rural home owners rates seemed.high, council had opted to assist them and keep the rates as low as possible.

The biggest overall increase was in water rates. Coast residents will be in for a 34.91 per cent increase.

At $69.28 per unit, that's $277.12 for the standard four units of water.

Division three also received a 34.91 per cent increase, and with their rates at $103 that adds up to a heft $412 for four units.

Division • three councillor Arthur Rackemann said he thought the increase was "excessive".

"Some houses are not even occupied all the time," he said.

Cr Rackemann said the quality of water was poor and the price paid was the highest in Queensland.

The largest percentage increase in water rates was in division four, at the Caves district, with a rise of 50.9 per cent.

Costs will now be $250.20 a year for four units of water, with a unit charge of $62.55.

Cr Wall said the steep climb in water charges was due to a $1.1 million loan taken out last year by council for the rising water main from Waterpark Creek, the booster pumps at Kinka Beach and other upgrading.

Council was told that would add $45 onto each connection.

Sewerage charges also increased, 13.82 per cent. At $29.88 a unit, that's a total of $239.04 for the standard eight units.

And garbage collection also took a jump by 10.18 per cent. It will cost $72.50 from now on, a jump of almost $7.

Sanitation costs (night soil) increased 7.69 'per cent to $28 per year.

So what does that mean to the average home owner on the Coast?

All prices are taken on the land valuation taken by the valuer-geneal's department five years ago.

An average home owner will pay $685.66 ... that's a total cost of general rates, sewerage, garbage and water with a 15 per cent discount offered by council.

The minimum general rates charge will be $132.

Cr Wall said the increases were partly due to increased interest rates from council loans which go back years.

He said some of the loans are 30 or 40 years old and interest rates have jumped from five per cent to 16 or 17 per cent.

He said .a problem with water charges has resulted because it is being pumped all over the Coast. Water supplies were originally planned for Yeppoon only and now water was pumped right out to Emu Park and Keppel Sands.

Cr Wall said either the growth outside the town had to stop of council would be faced with million dollar loans each year.

TWENTY-SIX people at last Wednesday's meeting of Yeppoon and District Ratepayers Association (YACA) decided to circulate a petition to ask the Minister of Local Government Russ Hinze to appoint an administrator of Livingstone Shire Council in place of the existing councillors.

The decision was brought about by dissatisfaction expressed by the people at the meeting with the inefficient financial administration of the shire as evidenced by the latest budget and increase in rates.

The petition will circulate over the next couple of months.

[Stage 6 opening soon.'

ONE year ago, the first issue of the Capricorn Coast Mirror carried the following message at the top of page one: THIS is the first issue of the Capricorn Coast Mirror — the Coast's own newspaper.

It is privately owned. The Capricorn Coast Mirror wants to be the local paper. It has no pretensions to expansion beyond the coastal strip ... the place we all chose for our home.

The Capricorn Coast Mirror is a newspaper devoted exclusively to the Coast.

The paper is free. This means it must survive by carrying advertising. Everyone can ensure the survival of this paper by thinking first about their local market.

We live on the Coast and we should support the Coast. This newspaper can provide readers with details, through the advertisements, of what is available locally.

If you, the readers, support the local businesses which advertise in the Capricorn Coast Mirror, those businesses will support this paper with their advertising ... and this paper will then be able to support the whole Coast.

It's up to you. If you want your own newspaper, and from the many calls of congratulations we've had it's quite apparent you do, then support it.

Classifieds are just $2. Display advertising starts at just $5. That's not expensive. If you have something to sell tell the people who are most likely to buy, the people on the Coast.

Read the paper, think about the groups you are in, and get on to your publicity officer to make sure news items are sent to us. We want total involvement. Post news items to PO Box 769, Yeppoon, 4703 or bring them to 38 James Street, Yeppoon, (Pat Andersen's office).

In that message we were quite open in our objectives. We hid nothing. We promised nothing that we could not provide.

We asked your help ... you gave it.

To those people we say sincerely ... thank-you.

Now, to our critics we say: O The Capricorn Coast Mirror was not started so that it could be sold to another media group. (We hope to make a living for ourselves, our two children, our two dogs and our cat.) o We do not charge for the news that we carry. We do charge for display and classified advertisements. Those advertisements are our life-blood ... but the news is free. It was free for the first 52 issues, it will be free for the next 52 issues and it will always be free.

O The Capricorn Coast Mirror is not owned by "Gympie" (the name by which the Gympie Times, which prints the Mirror, is known). 'Nor is it owned by any other newspaper group or any other group. It is wholly owned by us. We used our own money, and money that we borrowed from a recognised lending organisation, to finance the paper. We do owe "Gympie" a debt of gratitude ... the management and staff at Gympie have printed us, without a hitch, for 52 straight issues. They have helped us when we have been late; they have put in the extra effort that money cannot buy. Their enthusiasm has helped us on the few occasions when exhaustion has made our enthusiasm sag. We also owe a debt of gratitude to "Nundah". "Nundah", to us, is Heather Jeffery, the publisher of a group of suburban newspapeis in Brisbane and the Queensland Gardener. Heather, and her staff, typeset and composed the first nine issues of the Capricorn Coast Mirror. She "encouraged" us to buy first one, then another typesetter to produce the paper ouselves. (We say "encouraged" because she said "Please, please, please buy a typesetter ... buy anything, just give me a break ...)

O It is not true that "all the money the Mirror collects" goes to Gympie.

Apparently, we have heard, we get to keep $300 a week to live on ... if only that were true. As we said above, we own the paper so "all the money" stays on the Coast. That's easy to say, but this is what it means. It means we buy our groceries, our vegetables, milk, cigarettes, petrol, tyres, car repairs, clothes, electrical appliances, newspapers, Lotto and Casket tickets (one day, surely, our number will come up) on the Coast. We buy these goods from businesses that advertise in the Mirror. We do buy our printing off the Coast, at Gympie, because there is no business on the Coast that has a press big enough to print the Mirror. A major component of our printing price is newsprint (paper). Every newspaper distributed in Central Queensland has to buy newsprint ... it is not cheap .. and it is not made locally. It comes from Tasmania, New -Zealand, or Canada. So, part of our money

does leave the Coast, as does the money other newspapers use to buy their newsprint. We also buy photographic paper and chemicals used by our typesetters off the Coast ... as other newspapers have to do because these products are not available locally. We buy these products from AM International ... the organisation which supplied out new typesetter. (To the management and staff of this organisation we also say thank-you.) More of "all the money" is used to pay 19 delivery people (mostly young girls and boys who now have a means of earning quite a healthy sum in pocket-money) and in casual staff. o The 6000 Capricorn Coast Mirrors that we distribute each week are enough to cover the entire Coast from Keppel Sands to Byfield. We deliver every house (except when dogs intimidate the delivery staff) by either letter box delivery or throwing. In addition, we send 20 papers to each of the following towns every week by. courtesy of McCafferty's ... Biloela, Blackwater, Dysart, Emerald, Gladstone (40 papers) and Moranbah. These papers are distributed through travel agencies and newsagents.

We also distribute papers throughout Rockhampton by leaving bundles at selected businesses which have asked for copies (newsagencies, service stations, various shops and the Tourist Information Centre at the Capricorn Spire.) These papers encourage people to visit the Coast ... boosting tourism. The Capricorn Coast Mirror is also delivered to The Caves, Ogmore, Kunawara and Marlborough, which means the paper covers the entire Livingstone Shire. As a result, the Capricorn Coast Mirror covers a wide audience ... which means it provides the best value for the Coast business people's advertising dollar. We provide papers for people who either live locally or have proved their interest in our area. There is no wasted circulation that you have to pay for.

0 If there are any other stories circulating, we haven't heard them ... yet.

Well, we've got that off our chests. Why did we say it? Because we're human ... and, like other people, we feel hurt when we hear rumours about our "baby". It hurts when you walk into a shop to buy some milk and are greeted by the proprietor saying: "Are yqu still here ... I was told you had shot through." Or "Why should I support you ... you just send your money down south".

It hurts us personally ... and it hurts us financially.

But, while we have taken a lot of space to say this, please don't misunderstand ... the past year has been unforgettable. We have met hundreds of people who we now speak of as friends. People, who, like us, love the Capricorn Coast. People who work and worry to make the Coast a better place for us, and our children, to live.

The year has been exhausting ... but rewarding.

We feel a deep sense of accomplishment ... the Coast now has its own newspaper ... the Capricorn Coast Mirror. From a dream to a reality in just 12 months ... and you did it.

Your support, advertising and editorial, made the Mirror possible.

Our personal message to the Coast is ... let's work together. Let us forget our differences ... let's unite as one people, the people of the Capricorn Coast.

Next week the Capricorn Coast Mirror starts its second year serving the Capricorn Coast ... the place, as we said in the first issue, we all chose for our home ...

Olympic snippet • THE Marathon posed an interesting problem. The IAAF (International Amateur Athletic Foundation) prohibits the use of petrol-powered vehicles on the course because they pollute the runners' air. After a massive search a company was found that could construct an electricf vehicle with the power and speed to carry several cameras and cameramen, engineers and a commentator to provide on-the-spot race analysis. In addition to this truck, which will cover the leaders in the race, two electric motorcycles will cover the action back in the pack.

• Central Queensland Amateur Fishing Clubs' president Noel Roberts said it was the first time there had been an offshore fishing association in the region since 1952.

The offshore group is now looking for members so that its second outing, planned for later this year, will be an even bigger success. The clubs taking part on Sunday were Rockhampton, Post Office, Ascot, Great Western, North Rockhampton and Apex. The fishermen went about 50km offshore in search of the big ones but the weather, a south-westerly, was against them.

The group left in 10 boats from Rosslyn Bay at 3am and returned for a weigh-in at Appleton Park about 3pm.

Tennent gives airport facts YOUR article headed "Yeppoon could lose Springfield airport ... owner says he's `fed up'," — makes interesting reading as the owner Mr Reg Nixon is then quoted as saying that he has notified regular users that he had closed the airstrip — then, and I quote: "It's just too much trouble trying to deal with Livingstone Shire Council".

What an amazing statement — as the whole trouble has been caused by Mr Nixon not bothering to deal with council at all, on a very simple matter of making a town planning application and obtaining a building permit to erect the building on the airstrip, a proceedure which all other persons carrying out such operations do so without any problems and with whatever reasonable co-operatibn they may seek from council officers to make the necessary application.

The facts are, that early in January council became aware that a building had been erected on this property Without the necessary town planning application and building permit. Council wrote a most courteous letter to Mr Nixon requesting him to comply with these regulations and up to the time of writing this article as far as I am aware Mr Nixon has not yet met these requirements.

The Town Planning Act and the Building Actsa apply to all individuals and council endeavours to have them applied without fear or favour, and only where necessary do they take drastic action such as demolishing a building or requesting a building to be dismantled, if they do not comply with these lawful requests, such action has been carried out at Emu Park.

As the building was erected on or before January, 1984, and it is now August, 1984, and the necessary action has not 'been taken by Mr Nixon to resolve the matter, I will leave it to the readers to form their opinion as to who is being stubborn in this matter and on whose shoulders the responsibility rests should Mr Nixon carry out his statement to close the strip at Yeppoon.

— Livingstone Shire Council Deputy Chairman Cr C M Tennent.

THE Yeppoon Pensioners' League will ask the Central Queensland Zone to make application to the Minister for Transport for free first-class sleeping accommodation to pensioners transferring their second-class rail entitlements to first-class.

The matter of sleepers was raised by Mr Fred Leader who said on a recent train journey to Brisbane he had seen a large number of first-class sleeping compartments unoccupied and he said they could have been occupied by sitting pensioners.

The matter will be taken to the first general meeting for 1984-85, which follows the annual meeting and election of officers. This meeting hosted by the North Rockhampton Pensioners' League, will be held next Thursday, August 16, at The Tavern, Dean Street. Delegates will attend from Yeppoon, Biloela, Mt Morgan, Emu Park and North and South Rockhampton Leagues.

After the annual meeting the CQ Zone executive will have a new look. CQ Zone president Bill Shuttlewood, who is also the Zone publicity officer, has announced he will not be seeking re-election in either capacity.

Zone secretary Mrs Patricia King and assistant secretary Mr J E Jackson are not seeking election and treasurer Mr George Odgaard has resigned his position because of ill-health.

The other members of the executive are Messrs G Bardrick (Emu Park) and E Ford (Mt Morgan), holding the positions of senior and junior vice president respectively.

A bus will take Yeppoon delegates and members to the meeting and to the social which will be held in Bauhinia House in the afternoon. Transport willleave the Yeppoon Railway Stattion at 9am.

Council rejects Roving Ritz mobile food van A PROPOSAL to open an up-market food van at Emu Park has been knocked back.

In an application to council the applicants, E and A Jeffries, said the van would be called "The Roving Ritz" and would specialise in fresh seafood and tropical fruit.

The proposal was to base the mobile trailer at Bell Park and move it around the Shire for such functions as Keppel Krabtastic, Pineapple Festival and Tyrer Park races.

Livingstone Shire Council refused the application but invited the applicants to discuss the matter further with the health surveyor.

The application said the mobile stand would "provide a service for locals and tourists" by "serving food stuffs not readily sold on the Coast".

It stressed that food such as hot dogs, battered fish and chips, pizzas, donuts and other "fast food" would not be sold at the mobile van.

Instead, it listed some of the meal ideas.

These included: reef fish lunches, seafood cocktails, Mexican tacos, Greek souvlaki and tropical fruit salad and fruit juices.

The proposed area for operating the van at Bell Park was inside the fence near the tables and bins.

The applicants said that position would be ideal because it "overlooks the beach and is sheltered from prevailing winds".

The proposal also said it would be appropriate because it was close to the Singing Ship.

Drug, alcohol awareness TEACHERS from the Capricorn Coast and other Central Queensland schools will meet near Rockhampton next month for a four-day seminar on drug and alcohol awareness.

Teacher consultant for Central Queensland, Lydia Najlepszy, said the focus of the seminar would be on "student potential" rather than specific drugs.

She said the aim was to encourage students' self esteem, communication patterns and decision-making skills, so they were more able to cope with problems when they encounter them.

"The students learn to use their own resources," she said.

Ms Najlepszy said the change in direction of alcohol and drug education included offering alternatives such as sport or music to students.

About 36 teachers from more than two dozen private and State schools will gather at the Meteor Park Conference Centre at Neerkol for the seminar.

Ms Najlepszy said the programme would include workshops and films which sould be implemented into school courses.

She said drug and alcohol education was now taught in all schools through physical education, social science and home economic classes.

The extent of the programmes varies from school to school, but the new classes will be based on "inter-personal skills" ... a focus that has been successful in the past.

Ms Najlepszy said although there would be initial parent involvement in the seminar, teachers may follow up with parent-teacher nights.

She said the education programmes were taught to teachers throughout Queensland.

In October a seminar of a similar nature will be held in Townsville.

LIVINGSTONE Shire councillor John Bowen left last week on a three-month study tour of America.

Cr Bowen is travelling. the country as a member of Toastmasters International ... an organisation he believes has a future on the Capricorn Coast.

Cr Bowen said Toastmasters, which has been operating since 1928, had more than one million members world-wide.

Queenland has 50 clubs and there are two in Rockhampton.

Cr Bowen said the organisation's aim was to develop skills and abilities to speak confidently, listen effectively and clearly, and improve the standard of communication throughout the community.

The organisation also' runs an Annual Youth Leadership Programme which this year involves more than 200 students from schools in Rockhampton and Yeppoon.

Cr Bowen said learning communication skills through Toastmaters allowed people to act as master of ceremonies, lead group discussions, serve as chairman of a committee or become a club officer.

Bandits play the leaders ST BRENDAN'S Bandits played competition leaders, Yeppoon Swans, on the latters home ground last Saturday morning.

The standard of play was very good, especially in the first half, but the inability to capitalise on the many forward moves made, prevented the Bandits from matching their opponents.

Just prior to the three quarter time siren the scoreboard read 7-1 to 1-5 in the Swans favour ... two scoring shots different but a costly 32 point margin.

The Swans broke loose in the last quarter. and scored six goals, one point, but on the day, the game was much closer than the scores indicated "and was very entertaining," the Bandits' correspondent said.

The final scores: Swans, 13 goals, 6 points; Bandits 1 goal, 7 points.

This week's game Bandits play Wanda! at St Brendan's at 9.30am.

"The Co-ordinator general rang Mr Iwasaki and . asked for a meeting. He was ,told Mr Iwasaki could not meet now because he would be in Brisbane the following week and he was going to Japan."

Cr Wall said the meeting wasplanned to be held at the end of August "but I'm not too hopeful about that".

To further answer Mrs Andersen, Cr Wall said it could be assumed that the cost of bringing water from Rockhampton now, years after the previous study, would be at least another $5 million.

"To finance that would cost each ratepayer a further $225 on top of the water rate they are paying at the moment," he said.

The third person to become involved in the water discugsion was Member for Callide Lindsay Hartwig.

When speaking about the debt owed by Livingstone Shire Council, Mr Hartwig said the council should have brought water from Rockhampton years ago.

"If the council had done that it would now have had development on both sides of the highway all along the water line and out to Cawarral," he said.

"This development could have paid for half of the cost by now."

Mr Hartwig said a council should operate like a business and try to bring more people to its area.

"All it is doing is creating a monstrous debt and it has nothing to, pay it off with."

GREAT Keppel Island may soon have to pay tae same accommodation registration fee as other hotel, motel, unit and flat owners on the Coast.

However, the wording of a by-law might make Great Keppel Island exempt from the charges because it is not on the mainland.

Cr Laurie Daley this week called for the addition of resorts onto the list of other accommodation venues on the Coast, which pay council registration fees.

He said Great Keppel Island "missed out" last year on the $13.50 per unit charge.

This year the charge has been dropped to $9 per unit.

Council health inspector John Harmsworth said he had defined accommodation by the motel definition, that is: "premises that provide accommodation for the motoring public at large".

As Great Keppel Island is not visited by "the motoring public", Mr Harmsworth could not tell council whether the resort could legally be added to the list.

But Cr Daley said he considered the charge was an accommouation cost, not a motel charge.

He said it would be unfair to "hit the small (businesses) without charging the big (businesses).

Council voted to add the word "resorts" to the list of other accommodation venues which now pay charges ... motels, hotels, flats and cabins.

Cr Daley said by adding the resorts, council had "just doubled the amount of accommodation units in the shire".

He said the unit charge should therefore be reduced to $4.50, and although he wa

reduced to $4.50, and although he was backed by Cr Barbara Wildin, the motion to halve the charge was lost.

Cr Wildin said the situation for tourist accommodation on the Coast was "very, very, very quiet".

She said one of the biggest problems was the cost of accommodation and by lowering the unit charge accommodation owners may have the incentive to drop their rates.

Cr Arthur Rackemann said he considered the $9 charge per unit was reasonable.

"If they want further assistance from council they've got to pay their way."

Council was told Rockhampton City Council charges $4.50 per unit, but they were "one of the few cities on the east coast so low".

Cr Daley said RockhamptOn City Council Charges were low because councillors were conscious of encouraging tourism.

Budget provides ■ for promotion NEARLY $5000- was allocated in the 1984/85 budget for promotion of the Livingstone Shire. $2,300 will be used within the shire and $2500 will be contributed to the Capricorn Tourism and Development Organisation.

Area promotion expenses will be cut back by $442 by discontinuing the rental of the promotion sign on the Rockhampton Road.

"It's probably these old shoes that pong. I hadta use them. Y'see the little woman forgot ter feed th' dog last night, an' he had a chew on me new ones. Looked a bit sick this morning though."

"Yeah, yell out if y' need a hand or three."

Davo grabbed hold of the shower combination, measured it up right the first time, drilled the holes in the timber wall frame, installed the combination then joined the hot and cold water piping.

Davo's first idea, as an apprentice, of a shower combination was that of a combination of showers, so he figured it would follow suit that a sink combination was a combination of sunken dishes. Preferably soup, entree, and chinese.

"Boozer night tonight mate?" said an amicable Phil the Greek.

"Yeah, if I see Meegan before she sees me.

Otherwise, the same as usual," moaned Davo.

THE saga of Bert and Cam and Davo and 'Meegan and Mery and Ian and Gwen and Virginia and Phil the Greek and anyone else we can plop the tin over in .this load of ccdswalop about plumbing.

The ins and outs of bust, lust "M and F union", water pipes and brazen women; where women are women and men strain !their eyes reassuring themselves that they ,are. Where a dirty weekend is a mixture of cleaning out a • septic tank and picking mushrooms in a fresh cow paddock. • Written, produced and directed by Damien Raoul Sandarsan, trip5ing along hand in hand with the refugee from random breath-testing, 'Randy Horne. Only the names have been changed to protect the overdrafts of those concerned and any resemblance to the truth is purely a figment of a preposterous imagination.

Special technical assistance by kind permission of Graeme A Eaton, Esquire, P E. chop.

"For a while there, i wasn't sure I'd get past the pimple stage."

He drew a deep breath again.

Phil the Greek didn't need a deep breath though. His breathing was normal. It's just that the lard around his midriff was being overworked from the submerged, rumbling laughter contained in his body.

"You poor, poor, man. If she's half as good as you say, I'd like to meet her sister."

"Sister be blowed! Y' don't need her! Take Meegan! Be my guest! Y' don't need an introduction. She'll do all that herself! Tryin. t' keep her down's like sprayin' under yer arms with anti- B.O. stuff. Y' can smother it up for a while, but it's still there!"

"I might have a talk with Cam. See how he handles Virginia. No use askin' Bert. he can't handle a broom let alone Gwen." He paused.

"Wonder how Cam's goin' on his job?"

"Bluddy Bert an' his leak in th' motel roof," said Cam to Charlie the publican.

"Th' only leak in the motel wasn't in th' roof.

It looked like it mighta come from th' roof, but y' put one toilet, an' one puddle a water or whatever, together an' y' get a ve-ry suspicious feelin' that someone's aim in life isn't quite in the right direction."

"What about th' dishwasher?" inquird Charlie.

Cam put his hand on Charlie's arm.

"Sorry mate. Won't wash dishes."

"What do y' mean?"

"It's a alcoholic washer. Only does glasses," chuckled Cam. "You better have another beer. Might wash some of those frightening remarks of yours away," said Charlie.

Cam looked at his watch.

"Yeah, I'm one up on the lads. Better keep ahead, 'cause when they get here — which' should be in about two an' three-quarter minutes time — it'll be hard to stay in front".

What is Phil the Greek REALLY into?

Olives? Or something more sinister? Smells funny to us, hey?

But what about Davo's pimple stage? Is it anything like the theatre stage? Can you pick your parts, or will they squeeze you out? Is drawing a deep breath as hard as drawing a straight line? We keep writing stuff like this and we'll be drawing the pension next week.

Artefact go with Dale Childs I WENT along to the Paint-Pot-Gallery last Saturday afternoon to see an exhibition of screen printing by Tom Mitchell.

The exhibition, called 'June to September', opened with "June", a buxom wench in a white bathing suit, and moved through time — past "Beach Umbrella", a triptych which, I thought, was the pick of the exhibition. Mr Mitchell has succesfully created the illusion of an empty beach (miles of it) at a time when the' tourists have gone back to their respective homes and out beach lies quiet and still.

Past "Thongo" — there they are — one pair of blue thongs, taken off and left on the sand.

I've seen those thongs a thousand times on our beaches.

Past the empty "Deck Chairs" and on and on until "September" and a' small crowd gathers.

All of a sudden, Mr Mitchell does a switch in style, colour and subject and here we are back to normal and "Tuesday's Boiled Egg".

A pleasant man of few words, Mr Mitchell told me that his training in the craft consisted of secondary school art classes until grade 12.

In the years since, he has been self-taught.

"Screen-printing expresses more adequately. I like to keep my sketches flat and simple," Mr Mitchell said.

Tom Mitchell has participated in exhibitions in Dysart and mackay and won the Mackay competition, Art and Artists, in 1984.

At the present time Tom does not have another series planned but he is working on some new pieces with a more aboriginal flavour. A fore-runner for these new works is "Galahs" which has been included in this exhibition.

One cannot help but observe the artist's acute sense of colour.

This exhibition will be at the Paint-PotGallery until tomorrow (Sunday), so if you haven't seen it yet, please make the effort.

The presentation is small and enjoyable.

Tom Roos beats Petersen 31-13 TOM Roos was never headed in the final of the Yeppoon Bowls Club C singles when he defeated Arnie Petersen 31-13. Tom was on top of his game and quickly went to a lead of 12-nil. Arnie came back and showed the form that made him a finalist to be down 15-12, then the run home Tom allowed Arnie to score only a single before he reached 31.

There were big scores in the game between Bill Fotheringham and Doug Haigh and Arthur Mallison and Clarrie Hinton. Haigh scored two fours and a three on successive ends then Hinton replied with a three and five.

Doug won the last three ends scoring a single on each to win 25-20.

In the club triples, Keith Chivers played as a substitute with Key Thompson and Don Goody who scored a narrow win 19-17 over Graham Williams, Gordon McKenzie and Eddie Engel.

Two graded competitions played were both close games. Stan Brookes and Peter Brown played Bill Roberts and Frank Birkett and trailed for the first 17 ends before they drew level 21 all. Brown won three of the four remaining ends to score 26-22. Bill Napier, Ken Moore and Don McPherson nearly blew the game against Ken O'Leary, Sandy Grant and Ian Clark. With three ends to play, McPherson led 16-9 then lost a five and three to trail by one on the last end. McPherson scored a two to take out the match 18-17.

The mixed competitions saw Noreen Garner and Doug Haigh score 21-16 from Dolly and Don McPherson. Halfway through the score was six all, then Doug scored a six and three and Don came back and three ends from home, was down 15-16. Doug scored a four and put paid to Don's chances. In the fours Mary Crowe, Fred Baker, Sylvia Watson and Reg Gibbons were level at the halfway mark with Ellie Aspinall, Graham McCosker, Alma Atkinson and Clarrie Hinton. Gibbons then won five ends in a row to lead 17-12. Hinton then turned around and won the last five ends to win 23-17.

Yeppoon Bowls Club representatives travelled to Mt Larcom to play last year's winners, Gladstone, in the Fred Harrup Shield. Clarrie Hinton drew Don Barlow in the singles, and it was Don's day winning 3113. Yeppoon fours, Ian Clark, Don McPherson, Bill Roberts and Doug Haigh won a tight game 24-21 from Murray Gardiner, Norm Hick and Col McKeon to make it one all and the result rested on the pairs. Don Goody and John Ware were 18 all with Tom Williams and State representative Bob Appo. Holding shot on the last end, Appo played a reading bowl and rested Goody's bowl to win the game and put Yeppoon out of the Harrup Shield. Gladstone went on to win the shield on Sunday.

Yeppoon has social days coming up and these will only tend to make it harder on the competition director who will be enforcing the play, sub or forfeit rule.

The Ladies club will be holding a Charity Day of mixed bowls for the Blue Nurses on Tuesday, August 21.

There will be two full Sundays of mixed bowls on September 2 and 9 against Brothers' club and the Masonic club.

Juniors beat St Brendan's AFTER a lack-lustre performance the. previous week against Wandal, Yeppoon Junior Aussie Rules teams showed they hadn't forgotten what the game was about when they met St Brendan's last Saturday at Yeppoon Showgrounds.

St Brendan's players were there to play football and they gave Yeppoon Swans some solid competition.

Many of the Swans under-13 are hitting top form with three years playing experience behind them and the team put together passages of play that would be the envy of any senior team. The final score was Swans 12.6 78 to St Brendan's 1.7 -13.

The under-15 game was a heart stopper.

The Swans, not used to seeing the opposing team's score higher than theirs, showed what they could do under pressure and came from behind in the final quarter to trade goal for goal with St Brendan's. The final siren bought the game to an end with the score: Yeppoon Swans 8.6 - 54; St Brendan's 7.9 - 51, but the real winner on the day was the game itself, Australian Rules Football.

The Yeppoon teams will -now meet Parkhurst in the last of the home and away games at Yeppoon Showgrounds on August 18, before lining up for the finals from their positions on top of the league ladder.

Soccer team's cricket score YEPPOON Senior Eagles travelled to Blackwater by bus on the weekend in a return match from earlier in the season.

The miners had the better of the first encounter and dominated again to run out victorious 9-1.

"The cricket score is evidence of Yeppoon's 'sixty-minute football', holding the team for that length of time, then losing heart and allowing the attack to walk through nonexistent defence," said the club's spokesman.

A solid, close start was kept up throughout the first half. At half time 3-0 down Yeppoon coach Mery 'Bubbles' Lea, urged the team to 'keep the ball on the ground and contest more 50-50 ball. These were the areas the team failed to improve on.

Ten minutes into the second half a great move involving the mid field, Ken 'Glasgow' Waite and finally Gavin Field resulted in the best goal of the match, a mid range drive bs Gavin Field which left the Blackwater keeper dumbfounded.

Conflicting reports reveal the Yeppoon team wasn't terribly upset by the losss and in fact were more than willing to let club president 'take the floor', which led to earnest debate and postulation on the comparable forms of Liverpool, Everton and Glasgow on a Saturday night.

August 22 start for YARC races

Injuries play a C part in league INJURIES played a big part in the game last Sunday when Yeppoon Rugby League played Brothers at Browne Park.

The sportsmanship shown by both teams when helping opposing injured players was appreciated by all those involved. Yeppoon lost Glen Holland with a knee injury and at the same time Bob Hansen received a heavy knock and a gash under the eye requiring seven stitches. Brothers lost winger Ian Hinchcliffe who, when in full flight, seemed certain to score but came to a sudden stop with a hamstring injury and had to be helped from the field.

Brothers started the game attacking Yeppoon's half for the first 15 minutes, but Yeppoon's defence was equal to the task holding the Brethren for 17 minutes before they put any points on the board, from a try wide out. Yeppoon's first points came froma penalty after 20 minutes, soon after Holland and Hansen were replaced by Steve Stafford and Terry Hansen. Play was evenly matched for the next 15 minutes, until Brothers scored just before half time to make the score 10-2.

Brothers started their scoring spree with tries in 52nd, 58th, 66th and 75th minutes.

Yeppoon's only try came from Steve Stafford in the 77th minute and Ian Hunter converted, from wide out, to make the final score 30-8 in favour of Brothers. Best players: Mick Herman, Todd Sleeman, Paul Childs, Graeme Orr and James O'Hanlon.

Seagulls Reserve grade played Norths on the previous Tuesday night, postponed from the previous week because of the wet weather. Competition leaders Norths had to battle to defeat Yeppoon 8-0. No points were scored until the half time whistle when Yeppoon let Norths in for a try, which was the only one scored during the game. Yeppoon's defence was solid throughout the game with players Mick Blackburn playing his usual solid game, Lofty Hale in everything and lightweight forward Alan Moylan playing well until injured. Ian Hunter plaed a busy game at half-back, Warren Buttenshaw played his best game of the season and centre Graeme Orr running hard on to the ball. The game finished 8-0 in favour of Norths.

The under-19 also played on that Tuesday night and were defeated by Fitzroys 16-6.

Yeppoon played most of the first half in Fitzroy's territory but were unable to break the Greens defence line. Captian Paul Boyd caused headaches for Fitzroys defence with his strong running on to the ball and was backed up by Gil Dyett and Luke Pengilly.

Fitzroys scored a try and a penalty by Steve Stafford for Yeppoon made the half time score 4-2. Yeppoon was on the attack soon after the break when Steve Stafford went over for a try and Yeppoon hit the front with the score then 6-4. The Seagulls were unlucky again after winger John Pidgeon seemed certain to score but was pulled down close to the line. Fitzroys scored two opportunist tries to come out winners 16-6.

Best players: Paul Boyd, Gil Dyett, John Pidgeon, Tony Stafford, Steve Stafford, Luke Pengilly and Adrian White.

Yeppoon under-19 have a break this week, but the Reserve grade (against Fitzroys) and the A grade (against All Blacks) will be playing this Sunday (tomorrow), 10.30am and 1.30pm at Browne Park.

The Seagulls are also organising a match against Longreach ad Mt Morgan and a schoolboys match against Emu Park on August 26.

TAB buys own betting shop YEPPOON TAB has made a commitment to the town by buying its own premises in Normanby Street.

It moves from its present Normanby Street address on Monday to its new address, almost directly across the road next door to Yeppoon Video Centre.

Punters will be greeted by a brand new shop on Monday.There's new tiles on the floor, freshly-painted walls and new equipment.

Coast tradesmen have been doing the work over the past few weeks getting the new office ready for the hordes who visit each week.

Yeppoon TAB, which is part of the Statewide TAB computer link-up, offers the same speed in transactions as branches anywhere in Queensland.

The new office will just make betting a more comfortable event.

The TAB will still operate from its old address today but punters hoping to catch a race only moments before they jump had better take note of where the new shop is or they could miss out in the time it takes to cross the road.

Karate expert in Queensland team YEPPOON karate teacher Chris Bulbrook has been selected for the Queensland team to compete at the national FAKO (Federated Australian Karate Organisation) championships in Adelaide on August 25.

He won selection after competing in the black belt finals at the Chandler complex in Brisbane on July 29.

He will compete in KATA (forms) and Kumite (sparring).

If he performs well he could be selected for the Australian team to compete at the WUKO (World Union Karate Organisation) world titles in Holland in October.

Karate will be a part of the Olympics for the first time in 1992 ... but before that can happen, the two world karate organisations have to sort out their differences.

640-metre shoot EMU PARK/YEPPOON Rifle Club members will shoot over 640 metres (700 yards) on Sunday for the John Best Memorial Shield timed to start at 9am.

Club champion Abby Blatch has excelled in international competition at Bisley in the UK, final results have not yet been received, but at last reports he was 15th out of 1200 shooters.

In weeks to come club members will travel to the Queen's Prize Shoot in Brisbane and the Gem Shoot at Sapphire.

A team shoot is set down for early September in Rockhampton and club competitions should run smoothly for the remaining months of the year.

Two members will attend the national titles in November and some members are expected to go to the Sarina Prize Shoot in late October.

The two organisations, IAKF and WUKO (International Amateur Karate Federation and World Union Karate Organisation), have different outlooks on the sport.

The IAKF puts more emphasis on Kata (forms); has open weight divisions only in Kumite (sparring), and scoring is by two half points or one full point in a three-minute round. This scoring system results in faster and more intense fighting.

In WUKO, Kumite is in weight divisions, scoring is by six half points in a three-minute round.

Chris Bulbrook is a JKA (Japan Karate Association) exponent. JKA is a member of both IAKF and WUKO. Bulbrook is the only Australian to compete at world level for both WUKO and IAKF. In 1982 he represented Australia at the WUKO world titles in Taipai and he has competed at four IAKF world titles.

Last year he was ranked in the top 12 at the IAKF world titles in Egypt. He made it through to the semi-finals.

• Of the 27 katas involved in the Olympics, 24 will be •of the JKA Shotkan style.

Bulbrook says he gains more experience with each competition he enters ... and this experience is passed on to students in Yeppoon and throughout Central . Queensland.

He said he had many offers from clubs around Australia to teach (Melbourne, Sydney and Townsville) but he has elected to stay in Central Queensland, his birth-place.

He said he already had a number of students with Olympic potential and, with his nine years of teaching experience and international competition, the area has a good chance to be in the Olympic selection.

THE Yeppoon Amateur Racing Club opens its 1984-85 racing season at Tyrer Park on August 22.

The five-event programme is made up of a Maiden Handicap (1000m), two Improvers' Handicaps (900 and 1420m), an Open Handicap (1200m) and a Country Stakes (400m).

Sponsorship already secured is an introductory free service valued at $660 to the Tattenham sire, Prince Tatt, which is standing at the Eden park Stud at Bondoola, where Bryan Bauer is the studmaster.

The following meeting will be held on September 26 when the feature Yeppoon Cup will be run.

Other meetings planned for the remainder of 1984 are on October'24 with St Brendan's College old boys being the sponsors and the two-day meeting on December 26 and 27.

During the 1983-84 financial period nine meetings were held at which in excess of $87,000 was distributed in prizemoney, trophies and rebates.

• Already one meeting of the 1984-85 financial period has been conducted when a five-event programme was held on July 4.

Following the election of committee at the annual meeting on July 19 the new president is John Geaney who replaces Dick Tyrer.

Mr Tyrer, who held the position for five years, did not offer himself for re-election, but decided to stay on the committee on which he was appointed vice-president.

The surprise of the ballot for the 13 members of the committee was the defeat of the outgoing treasurer, Bill Thomson in a field of 16 candidates.

Others beaten in the ballot were Wayne Brady and Brian Verney. Of last year's committee Keith Hall, Glyn Wyeth, Lance McDermott and Tony Wolfenden did not offer themselves for re-election.

Newcomers to the committee are Larry and Rick Tyrer, the new treasurer, Ray Hutchings, Ken Woods and Peter Molloy.

In accordance with a constitution amendment passed at the annual meeting the top seven in the ballot remain on the committee for a two-year term and the remainder for only one term. Those elected for two years are Dave Daniels, Peter Hall, Ray Hutchings, Bob Johnstone, Maurice Murray, Dick and Ricky Tyrer. Serving a oneyear term will be John Geaney, Peter Molloy, Norm Marsden, Bill Nugent, Larry Tyrer and ken Woods. These members can offer themselves for re-election at the end of their term.

Member for Callide Lindsay Hartwig was re-elected as patron. Mr Hartwig, who was unable to be present at the annual meeting, made a donation of $200 to the club's funds.

The outgoing auditor Mr Eddie Olsson of James Bubb and Co was re-elected.

The Tyrer Park based trainer Brian Keenan easily won the 1983-84 premiership with 63 points. As a result he takes $1400 of the prize money offered by Maurice Murray of Murray Estates.

Second in this premiership was John Mawhinney of Gympie, who receives $400 and third was Graham Rewald of Taroom, who gets $200. _ Rockhampton jockey Gary Evans took out that premiership with 48 points of which he secured 21 at the meeting transferred to Callaghan park on June 26. He wins the Tyrer family trophy.

The runner-up in a close contest was Bill Devine with 451/2 points. He was followed by Rockhampton apprentice Mark Unwin on 411/2 and David Rewald, 41.

The top horse was Popsicle Toes, which scored 30 points from five wins, a second and a third. The trophy for this competition was given by one of her part-owners, Norm Marsden with his Raglan Tavern trophy.

Consistent sprinter Split the Wind was next on 17 points with Charcoal Mellow third with 14 points.

At this stage it is expected that a special trophy night will be held on the night before the Yeppoon Cup meeting to present the trophies.

St James busy JULY was a busy month for St James Indoor Bowling Club members with President's Day, a visit from Park Avenue Club, a Hartwig Shield game and play in the MacNevin Shield competition.

St James have had four wins out of seven games played in the MacNevin Shield competition. On August 1 members defeated St Joseph 9-8, Singing Ship 12-8 and lost to Park Avenue No 1 7-12 and YIBC 9-15.

Under 10 team still unbeaten YEPPOON'S under-10 junior soccer team extended its unbeaten run in fixtures played last Saturday at Rockhampton's Norbridge Park.

A second half Mitchell Rane goal separated Yeppoon and Saturday's opposition, St George Dragons. The under-10 team is playing well and deserves its position at the top of the league ladder, ahead of the big and powerful Rockhampton clubs.

Troy Tomkins' goal in the under-12 match gave them some hope against Bluebirds, but the Rockhampton side ran out eventual 3-1 winners. The Yeppoon team paid for too many missed chances, particularly in the first half and were surprisingly 2-0 down at the break.

Another Tomkins' goal was the basis of a later Yeppoon revival in the under-14 fixture.

The under-14 could only field nine players and the late inclusion of Tomkins and under-12 team-mate Adam Johnson boosted the side's performance late in the game. Wayne Greasley netted twice for Yeppoon to leave the final scoreline at 8-3 in favour of Frenchville after the half time scoreline stood at 4-0.

Bluebirds were too strong for Yeppoon's under-8 and won easily 9-0.

Yeppoon's, under-7 Seagulls earned a creditable draw with St Anthony's White in an earlier match, while the under-7 Eagles were unlucky in their 5-1 loss to St Anthony's Gold.

Mark Scherlies. was Yeppoon's goalscorer in that game.

The under-14 side travelled to Blackwater with Yeppoon's senior side on Sunday. Three under-12 players Adam Johnson, Adrian Wyeth and Simon Perkins played for Yeppoon and all three played extremely well.

Artie Beetson signs on for Coast match with Yeppoon's Seagulls ARTIE BEETSON, the rugby league international who coached the Quensland side to a crushing defeat of the New South Wales team in this year's State of Origin series, has signed on to play for the Yeppoon Seagulls ... but only for one match.

He will side with Yeppoon in a match against Longreach which will be played at the Coast on August 26.

Faced with a choice of ex-league international winger John Rhodes or the bruising front-row forward Beetson, the home side opted for. Beetson.

This means Beetson and Rhodes will oppose each other in the match.

The match comes about following a visit by a Rockhampton team earlier this year to Longreach. The Longreach team asked for the chance to reciprocate and the Seagulls grabbed the opportunity.

It will be a fitting climax to the year for the Yeppoon A and Reserve grades sides.

The match will be supported by a day of rugby league that should drag spectators away from their television sets.

Yeppoon's A grade side will play Longreach's A grade side (with help from Beetson and Rhodes), the Yeppoon Reserve grade side will play a Mt Morgan side which wants to come to the Coast for the feast of football and Longreach is bringing an under 16 side which will play a Yeppoon High side.

It represents a mini-carnival which should bring spectators to their feet. The Yeppoon under 19 side will have to miss the action because it will be playing in a semi-final on the day in Rockhampton.

Details about whether Rhodes was going to make a come-back for the match or whether he wants to see Longreach have a chance against Beetson are confused ... but while the two will be enemies on the field, they will be mates off it, because Rhodes has provided accommodation for Beetson at the Strand Hotel.

The league day will give Coast youngsters the chance to see two of the games greats in action.

Beetson is soon off to Sydney where he has accepted the job as coach of Easts.

Swans' flying start at showground SATURDAY'S Australian Football match between Yeppoon Swans and visiting Boyne Island-Tannum Sands (B.I.T.S.), The Saints, was off to a flying start with the home side putting a couple of goals on the board before the visitors found their feet.

Swans captain-coach Jay Blake was in dashing form ... long kicks into attack with his side backing him to a man. Swans ruck men were having trouble with opposing ruck, the. huge Mark Twyvill at the centre bounces, but once the ball hit the deck it was swooped on

by Swans John `Redda' Hoelscher or Greg `Animal' Williams in the centre.

First term score: Yeppoon 4.2 - 26; Saints (BITS) 5.1 - 31.

Swans continued with their top-class performance, contesting in the air with the visitors bigger men and battling hard on the

ground play. Damon Quigley pulled down marks with the best of them, and kicked accurately to his forwards. Swans still held the best of the play, but the visitors converted their fewer opportunities with amazing accuracy including two from the boundary.

Half time score: Yeppoon 7.6 - 48; Saints (BITS) 8.1 - 49.

The home side held its supremacy and could have sewn the game up at this stage except for inaccuracy in front of goal. Several points scored in their monopoly of play before the visitors got the ball to their forward line the first time after 10 minutes into the quarter and scored another major. Quigley countered with another goal from a penalty kick, but Saints came back with another fantastic goal

AT a time when our eyes are glued to the television watching the Olympics it's perhaps appropriate to consider whether we are a bunch on "Norms" ... and a video shown at the Capricorn Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry annual meeting on Tuesday night took this thought a step further. The video was made by Work Skill Australia and was shown by guest speaker Brian Bloxsom, regional manager of the Queensland Confederation of Industry. It showed how Australia must continue to develop work skills (train apprentices) so that the nation could keep up with ever-advancing technology. At one point, the video said: "It's time we took pride in our work skills, the same as we do in our sport skills". And, as that announcement ended, the video •showed a crowd cheering and applausing at. a football match. Funny isn't it, you never think of an apprentice's skill in the same way as you a footballer's skill in evading a tackle or scoring a try. And yet, which skill has the more lasting benefit, to the apprentice, the footballer and to the nation? After a deep thought like that I think I'll go to the Esky for another tinny! ❑ o o SAME meeting, few minutes earlier ... chamber president Pat Andersen is being praised by members for her three years at the helm ... two comments noteworthy: Chamber secretary Connie Noyes said she had enjoyed working with Mrs Andersen, it gave the two of them a chance to indulge in a bit of petticoat government. Minutes later chamber member Cr Barbara Wildin rises to say her piece about Pat. She opens by saying: "Petticoat government is excellent." Isn't there a new-fangled Sex Discrimination Act that's supposed to take care of comments like that? Oh well, at least I know I'm master in my own home ... I know that's true because I overheard Mrs Hill telling it to a group of women recently.

I could see they were all impressed ... they all smiled at me as they left. o ❑ o MUST America forever live with claims that it makes its own rules in America's Cup-style? OK, so some decisions have gone against us at the Olympics but does that mean America is at fault? Isn't the object of the Games to compete. I know our kids train for years for their chance on the Olympic- stage but don't forget, so do the kids on the other who are favoured by what some people call a wrong decision.

Of course, if everyone went to the Games in the right spirit, the ones who won controversial decisions would hand 9wer their Gold to the one who came second rather than have a tainted medal ... or do they think tainted means "I'taint yours and i'taint mine" ... it's theirs!

But will someone please tell me why, when the paper started on August 20 last year, doesn't this issue at least have August 20 fall sometime during the week? It's thrown out all the birthday .:elebrations ... the Mirror team was going to shout for everyone, but they say now they'll have to wait till a birthday paper rolls around on August 20. Oh well, who's going to miss a glass of water (that's all they can afford) even if it would have come all the way from Water Park Creek (but that's another story). Many happy returns!
