Team effort wins praise Webb calls on council to acknowledge rugby victory

`

"THEY deserve the Freedom of the City," Cr Maurie Webb said on Saturday afternoon moments after Capricorn Coast Rugby Union Club's A Reserve side had won the 1984 grand final against Cities.

His remark was part euphoria over the win but on Tuesday he again said it. But, while he realised such an award was not possible ("We're not a city, to start with," he said) Livingstone Shire Council should acknowledge the win in some way.

"Those men were playing for the Capricorn Coast," he said. "They were not playing as individuals."

Cr Webb said that was the important part that deserved recognition.

"If there's one thing the Coast needs, it's teamwork," he said. "We have, plenty of individuals already, but it's teamwork that is going to make this Coast great."

Cr Webb's remarks about the Cap Coast Rugby Union Club have more weight behind them because he is president of the Yeppoon Rugby League Club.

He attended the rugby union grand final at Rugby Park on Saturday afternoon and was quickly over the fence to congratulate players and officials after the A Reserve side's win.

"That club has only been playing for two years and has played in two grand finals," Cr Webb said. "That's quite a record and shows what the Coast can do when people pull together as a team."

The Coast's sporting record could be further enhanced this weekend when three junior football teams play in grand finals against Rockhampton sides.

Yeppoon Junior Australian Rules Football Club's under-13 and under-15 sides line up this morning (Saturday) at the cricket ground.

For the under-13s it's the third grand final in three years. The under-15s, which lost only one game this season, have their sights set on their first premiership.

Yeppoon's under-11 soccer team will be the only one representing the Capricorn Coast in the Rockhampton grand finals today.

Competition is expected to be tough for all three matches and club officials are hoping for Coast supporters to attend the games and' cheer the boys to victory.

Last Thursday at the Capricornia District Girls Secondary School Athletics Carnival the aggregate winner was St Ursula's College and the runner-up was Yeppoon State High.

Girls from both schools have been selected to compete in the Regional Athletics Carnival in Mackay on October 6.

Trade Fair shaping up as big event

CAPRICORN Coast chamber of Commerce and Industry's Trade Fair next month is building up to .be a major Coast. attraction.

Every space allocated in Yeppoon Town Hall has ben taken and the chamber is now calling on groups with bigger displays to consider taking space on the vacant land next to the town hall.

This land could be used for displays such as tractors or 'vehicles.

In addition, Beaman Park, in front of the town hall, will be the site for arts and crafts plus amusements.

The trade fair is a chamber project designed to show people what is produced and available on the Capricorn Coast.

The fair will be open on Friday night, October 12, and Saturday and Saturday night October 13 and Sunday October 14, until 3pm.

It is opening both day and night so that residents and visitors will be sure to have some time free to visit the displays.

Chamber vice president Pat Andersen, who started the trade fair when president, said too many people automatically thought of Rockhampton and even Brisbane when they needed something big for their home or business.

"But almost everything Coast residents need can be bought on the Coast," she said. "If people would only think of their own area first they would keep their money at home and help local businesses to grow and provide 4. employment."

To get across the local industry message, the trade fair is being planned with the whole • family in mind.

Two bands are expected to provide "a day in the park" atmosphere on the Saturday and Sunday. The bands, one brass and one pipe, are sure to be major drawcards.

They will play in Beaman Park while Beach Potters and the Capricorn Coast Society of Arts provide displays.

Children will have rides and amusements provided and Emu Park Scout Group and Yeppoon State School will provide snacks and refreshments.

Where-ever possible, displays by business people will 12,e operating. There will be ❑ ABOVE: Cap Coast Rugby Union captain Dave Ruck's face shows how much it means to giveaways by some businesses win a grand final. This picture was taken moments after the presentation.

COASTAL COUNCIL COMMENT

AMERICANA NURSERIES

0 by Cr Barbara Wildin COUNCIL, on March 12, 1982 received a letter from the Co-Ordinator General Department reminding them that their five year forward borrowing plan was to be submitted by May 4, 1982.

Council wrote to the Co-Ordinator General Department on May 6, 1982 requesting an extension of time for the submission "to enable the new council" further consideration and discussion at council's May meeting.

Co-Ordinator General's Department granted council an extension till June 1, 1982.

The five year forward borrowing programme was considered at the council meeting of May 19 and 20, 1982 and was adopted. Cr Bowen and Cr Rae voted against the adoption of the report, all othef councillors, including myself, voted for _it.

Forward planning is done in council. The five year forward borrowing programme sets out the monies borrowed for each year, also the areas where the money is to be used.

Council has followed the plan and this year at the budget meeting, all councillors, except Cr Rae, voted to raise the 1.8 million for this year's works. 1.3 million was approved.

Street and road construction, water upgrading, plant, extention of sewerage and drainage are the major items listed in the plan, all required to meet the needs of the development taking place in this shire.

More careful planning and action by past councils could have avoided the situation we are required to live with and try to solve today.

All subdivisions in the shire prior to 1972 were approved without the requirement of bitumen, channel, kerbing and drainage being required. Barlows Hill, Meikleville Hill, Lammermoor Beach, Statue Bay, School and Caroline Streets, just to mention a few in the Yeppoon area. Emu Park and others are another story again.

Sewerage was introduced in the early 1970s at great expense and the water situation has always been below standard, inadequate and of poor quality.

more recent, councils have had to increase borrowings at a high rate of interest to try to overcome the problems.

A reduction in overheads, better value for the dollar received and more people to share the load. The first two can be achieved with co-operation, the last more difficult.

To increase the rate base development is required — low cost development, which is nearly impossible with the infrastructure being what it is. Do we borrow at high interest to provide the services? Do we charge the developer the true cost and send him to areas where it is more economically viable for him to carry out his project ... a catch-22 situation.

Encouragement for development to take place in the urban areas closer to the point of services would expand the rate base and in turn provide the added revenue required to provide better services to other areas.

A plan for better land use in certain rural B zones is another area in which council can increase its rate base without costing it a cent.

The minimum of 10 ha required in these areas is impractical.

Smaller lot areas would encourage more development for the increase in lot numbers, the developer would have more incentive and money to provide the bitumen roads that would be required.

No sewerage and water to be provided, roads already constructed, the rates generated in these areas could be used in other areas.

It is very possible that the balance area of division three could go to the Fitzroy Shire.

The people in the area are pushing hard and pressure is being put upon the Premier to approve the change as quickly as possible.

In the event of this happening, the balance of the shire will need to quickly increase its rate base, or an even greater financial burden will be placed on the shoulders of those already paying.

The rural areas do contribute substantially to the coffers of council and get very little in return — a grader once a year if they are lucky.

The local government system needs to be changed especially in the area of funding and Livingstone is not the only shire with difficulties.

The Federal Government has set up a committee to look into local government funding and has asked for submissions from local authorities and interested bodies.

This is an indication that a high percentage of shires throughout Australia are finding it difficult to provide the required services and keep rates at an acceptable level.

It is true that council has doubled it borrowings in the last six years from $7 million to $14 million, increasing the average rate nearly 86 per cent.

Only one group applies for cash ONLY one organisation has so far taken advantage of a $10,000 donation made by Mr Yohachiro Iwasaki to women and youth groups on the Coast.

The Nursing Mothers Association' at Emu Park and Yeppoon has been allocated $2000 of the funds specified by Mr Iwasaki for women's welfare.

A total $5000 for women's welfare and $5000 for youth groups was given to the Livingstone Shire Council about two months ago to be allocated to Coast groups.

Council decided at last month's meeting to give $2000 to the Nursing Mothers, the only group who had, at that time, submitted an application for a proportion of the funds. $5000 remains for youth groups and $3000 is left for women's welfare groups.

The submission from the Nursing Mothers requested money to send three of the four association's councillors to the State Conference in Brisbane.

Vandals hit seven public phones in main street with a blow-torch SEVEN Yeppoon public phones were among nine vandalised on Tuesday night.

All had their coin tins removed by a thief or thieves using a blow-torch.

District Telecom manager Bryce Plummer said there was no way of telling how much was in each tin. However each tin would hold a maximum of $100.

The Coast and Rockhampton thefts appear to be the result of a "working holiday" ... similar thefts were carried out earlier in the week at Tambo and other Western areas. A blow-torch was used in each robbery.

Other theas,./using tbe_same method, were carried out earlier this year in Brisbane, Redcliffe and northern New South Wales.

The vandalised Coast phones are located in Farnborough Road, two near the Sands Arcade/Strand Hotel in Normanby Street, three at Yeppoon Post Office and two in James Street.

Mr Plummer said that while the amount stolen from each phone box was unknown, the cost of repairs was ... $1000 for each public telephone.

Added to this was the inconvenience to the public caused by out-of-order phones.

He asked anyone seeing anything suspicious happening near a public phone to report the matter to the police.

The money will also be used to update the library and for running expenses of the two Coast branches.

No specific amount of money was requested but council decided to allocate the sum of $2000.

The submission said the Association was the second largest women's organisation in Australia ... second only to the Country Women's Association).

The Coast branch was first established eight years ago and split into two branches, one at Yeppoon and the other at Emu Paik, when the numbers became too great for one central group.

The two branches meet monthly at members' homes with an average of about 20 people attending each meeting.

ADVERTISEMENT The following' article appeared in the Brisbane Courier Mail on Tuesday, 31st August, 1984.

DEMONSTRATION, PLEASE State M.P. Mr Lindsay Hartwig (Ind., Callide) suggested yesterday that homosexual men and women be invited to attend State Parliament and "put on a demonstration".

Mr Hartwig said he did not understand what "gays, guys and lesbians" did. He wanted to see it so he would be in a better position to vote on it.

Mr Hartwig said he had searched the Oxford Dictionary but could find no reference to homosexuals "or their performances".

"Therefore, may I suggest that some afternoon when it is quiet perhaps we can have a demonstration by some of these people who wish to promote such activities," he said.

"We could close the door and let them go. If we are going to vote on something, I want to know what it is all about."

Chairman of the Yeppoon Branch of the National party in Yeppoon, Mr Alan Stevenson joins with other Coastal residents to deplore the philosophy of the local Member. Mr Stevenson asks "Are Mr Hartwig's erotic beliefs in tune with the 35% of voters in Callide who wished him to represent them in Parliament?"

Cresta amazed r that letter was instigated on a rumour IN reply to a letter in the Capricorn Coast Mirror of September 1 to 7 written by Norm Timms to the effect that people were signing a petition for support for the continuance of the flea market because: "a certain Livingstone Shire councillor was trying to close down the flea market because it didn't have a particular council permit".

After calling on Mr Timms at 30 Selvey Street, I asked if he could name the councillor concerned. Mr Timms told me he did not know, and had just heard a rumour at the flea market. I was amazed that his article and a petition could be instigated on a rumour. This has now placed a cloud of suspicion over all the councillors, which I don't think is quite fair.

Recently I voiced a- complaint in council on behalf of a local shopkeeper who thought the flea market should be for local people to sell their home-grown produce and home-made goods. His concern was that produce was being bought at the COD by private people and subsequently sold at the flea market.

After much debate and publicity a resolution was passed in the shire chambers.

After this ensuing meeting, it was agreed that it be left to that committee to solve any internal problems. I attended that meeting which was very amicable, and at no time was there any suggestion by anyone of closing the market.

However, I cannot guarantee that there are not other people who may wish to close the flea market. Didn't somebody recently say it was the "silly season"?

Excess water charge hits family man $41 a week in shire rates A MARRIED SALES representative with four children under 12 faces a combined rates and excess water usage charge of $41 a week ... and he is adamant that he will get something done about it.

Peter Caines of Rocky View Estate, in the Livingstone Shire at Parkhurst, called on Member for Callide Lindsay Hartwig to enlist his aid and seek his advice.

Mr Caines and Paul Olive, both of Bunya Road, Parkhurst, told Mr Hartwig they were being priced out of the shire because of excess water charges and rural roads contributions.

They are in the vanguard of an organisation they hope to start which will try to get some relief from the council. They said they would call on the rest of the residents in Rocky View Estate to get an action committee or progress association started.

So far, they have been promised support from Mr Hartwig and Member for Rockhampton Keith Wright.

Mr Caines said his main concern was the excess water charge levied by the council ... in his case, it totals $1177.44. That's in addition to his annual rates of $972. "That works out a $41 a week I'm paying to live in Livingstone Shire," Mr Caines said.

He says it is too much. A sales representative, Mr Caines said his income did not run to that sort of expense. His main complaint about excess water occurred, he said, because the shire was unrealistic in the amount it allocated per household in the estate.

"We have been given 1 million litres for annual water rates of $178. Excess water has been charged at the rate of 33 cents per 1000 litres," he said. The Caines household has been billed for a total use of 4,568,000 litres of water. The first million was included in the water rate and the other 3,568,000 litres cost $1177.44.

Mr Caines admits the water was used ... but that amount was not excessive. "Our children are aged 12, 9, 3 and 2. The washing machine has not stopped for the past 12 months," he said.

He said council had allocated one million litres last year and he had heard that this would be cut to 500,000 litres this year.

"I don't know who did the sums at the council but I ran a hose into a 25-litre container to see how much water this was. It turned out that 1 million litres a year equals 1.52 hours of water a day and less than 52 minutes a day if our allowance is cut to 500,000 litres," he said.

Mr Caines said no house with two adults and four children could live with this small amount of water.

Mr Olive, who has two teenage children, also copped an excess water levy but his was

Cut donations and save the cash CONTRARY to Cr Tennent's opinions quoted in Coastal Council Comment, Capricorn Coast Mirror, August 18, I believe that the Livingstone Shire Council should have saved the ratepayers' money by not making some of the donations he listed.

In my opinion it is not the function of local authority to help fund buildings for the Ambulance or any other body. Once such a precedent is established every little hamlet in the shire is entitled to ask for the same treatment.

Nor is it council's province to fund tourism promotion. Let those who profit from tourism provide its infrastructure and promotional brochures.

Sending one annual rate notice payable in

two parts makes sense to me and would certainly save postage.

Further, why should sporting bodies, already receiving government subsidies, get rate refunds. Every ratepayer in the shire does not indulge in the various sports so supported, therefore why should they pay for those who do?

Ratepayers' money should be spent on roads, sewerage, water, health, etc which benefit everyone.

Council's financial problems will never be solved until they realise the truth of the old adage that one should cut one's coat according to one's cloth.

Both said they had been misled. They said they understood their area was not going to be charged for excess water.

Mr Caines said the amount of water his family had used had been about the same for the past four years but this was the first time the council had decided to collect payment.

Mr Olive, a technical training instructor with the Capricornia Electricity Board, said his main complaint was with the rural roads maintenance fund that Rocky • View Estate residents had to contribute toward.

"There used to be cows on this estate until a developer put through a bitumen road and cut up the existing 32 five-acre blocks," he said.

"Bunya Road has direct access to theBruce Highway and that has been there for a long time ... long before this estate was created.

"The developer provided everything here and we paid for it when we bought our land.

The council provided nothing, except a trench across Bunya Road to give water to one resident. The trench was filled but it very quickly dropped and turned into a depression in the road.

"It took two years to get the council to seal the depression ... but we have to contribute to rural roads maintenance."

Mr Olive said the rural roads maintenance levy had risen from $187.50 for the period from June, 1980 to April, 1981 to $270 for six months from September this year.

"This means that the levy in a full year is more than $10 a week ... and we don't get anything for it. We are contributing toward roads that we never use."

Mr Hartwig, in answer to their-queries, said there was nothing he could do to help because a local authority had the right to charge whatever fees it required.

"I have had endless complaints about Livingstone Shire Council and many have been referred to the Local Government Department.

"But the answer is always the same ... the department has made inquiries but has been assured that everything being charged by council is in accordance with the Act." He suggested that both men form a committee and call a public meeting to discuss the situation in a calm manner with the elected councillors and shire chairman Cr Roy Wall.

Both Mr Caines and Mr Olive said they had not contacted Cr Wall about their problems.

They said they had seen a clerk at the shire office counter but had' been told nothing could be done.

ABOVE: A surprise golden anniuerary breakfast was hosted by members of St James Anglican Church last Sunday morning for Emily and Jack Breakspear.

Fifty years working side-by-side in small crop farming business EMILY and Jack Breakspear have been farmers all their lives and retirement 11 years ago didn't stop them doing the thing they do best ... growing fruit and vegetables.

The couple this week celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. During that time they have worked side-by-side in the small crop farming business.

After 40 years in the business at Gracemere, the couple retired to the Capricorn Coast, but their love of farming soon had them back tilling the ground.

Now they grow almost a dozen varieties of fruit and vegetables on their two hectare farm on Farnborough Road.

But the cauliflowers and cabbages, tomatoes, and watermelons are not just for themselves, the Breakspeors provide their produce to a number of local charities and organisations.

"We wanted to grow the fruit and vegetables to help churches and institutions, just to help out," Mrs Breakspear said.

"We still carry on like we did at Gracemere only on a smaller scale," she said.

And Mrs Breakspear said she is happy with the smaller scale. "I'm glad there's a fence on either side (of the farm) or I'm afraid he'd (Jack) just keep on going," she laughed.

Mrs Breakspear said the decision to keep farming to help people is typical of her husband's nature.

And he usually delivers the goods when there is a surplus ... usually weekly to Meals on Wheels and fortnightly to the Bush Children's Home in Todd Avenue.

Elizabeth Park Scouts in North Rockhampton also reap the benefits of the Breakspear's produce.

Mr Breakspear, an Englishman by birth, came to Australia when he was 17, in 1926.

On September 3, 1934 he married Emily Johnson at the United Protestant Church in Gracemere.

Mrs Breakspear was born in Gracemere and has lived in the area all her life.

• On their silver wedding anniversary the couple visited England. That was the last time Mr Breakspear saw his family, but in January, 1985, his brother, Cecil, will visit them at their Woodwind Valley home.

Princess Quest to aid children COAST girls aged between nine and 13 can enter the Leslie Wilson Bush Children's Home Princess Quest if they act now.

Nominations close on October 15 and judging will be held in Rockhampton on October 27. So far, 10 girls have entered the quest but none are from the Coast.

Prizes for the princess include a trip for two to Brisbane, a weekend at the Sheraton Hotel, $100 to spend and open orders.

All entrants must have some knowledge of the work done by the Bush Children's Health Scheme. To assist them, every girl will be given a booklet with the facts they will need.

Intending entrants can contact Matron Carol Brogan at the home in Todd Avenue.

TENDERS closed yesterday for the construction of two Housing Commission homes in Yeppoon, Member for Callide Lindsay Hartwig said this week.

He said he had received advice from Works and Housing Minister Claude Wharton that the houses would be built in Rawlings and McBean Streets.

FOUR prominent Central Queensland businessmen are vying for National Party preselection for the vacant Federal seat of Capricornia, Yeppoon National Party chairman Alan Stevenson said this week.

He said they included Central Queensland National Panasonic (Australia Pty Ltd) representative David Ackery and Webbers Discount House proprietor Col Webber.

The other two candidates prefer to keep their nominations within party circles for the immediate future.

The proposed new Federal electorate boundaries were published some weeks ago and will be ratified before the end of this

BREAD & CAKES... days a week!

month.

The new Capricornia is more compact than the old, which took in Gladstone and north Bundaberg. These two areas form part of the new electorate of Hinkler.

Mr Stevenson said the Capricorn Coast had a closer community interest with Rockhampton and the change seemed logical.

"Pre-selection for the National Party candidate will be held on Sunday," he said.

"All National Party branches are immensely confident of victory in Capricornia, particularly if Keith Wright wins the Australian Labor Party's pre-selection."

KEEN interest from parents and the possibility of a new cub leader will the Emu Park Scout Group on its feet.

Group Leader Brian Close said a meeting held last Thursday night was well attended by parents. District Commissioner Stephen Foxwell decided, as a result, to keep the group going.

Mr Close said .Liz Pilbury from Kanangra Functions showed interest in becoming a cub leader at the meeting.

She would replace present leaders Lew and Barb Fitchen, who plan to leave the group sometime in the near future.

Mr Close said the Thursday night meeting was also attended by District. Cub Leader Jean Nichols from Gracemere and the group's patron Cr Dick Tennent.

Cr Tennent gave a speech on the benefits of keeping the Emu Park Scouts and Cubs going.

He also told the group it had a very good chance of acquiring the fire station and surrounding land, once it becomes vacant with the opening of the Emu Park fire station.

Mr Close said there was a fairly large group of seven-year-olds at Emu Park who were waiting to turn eight before they could join cubs.

Once they were old enough the numbers in the group would increase. He said parents of five such youngsters had phoned him and he had also heard through the school and local families that other youngesters were keen.

Mr Close said there were positive plans for the future of Emu Park cubs and scouts.

Sometime, in the future, a new hut was planned and in the immediate future a recruitment drive for members and leaders would continue.

An open-day would be held on September 22 during the school holidays in Bell Park to show members of the public the types of activities taught and practised in cubbing and scouting.

The scouts will make a flying fox and cubs and scouts will show their skills in cooking, first aid, kite flying, cricket and pioneering from noon till 4.30pm.

Mr Close said he welcomed any inquiries about the Scout Movement. He may be contact on 34 4319.

Episode 10 of THE PLUMBER'S mate...problems with the pump BERT, Cam, Ian, Mervy, Davo and Dug the digger were there. What else could anyone need to go wrong!?

"The pump! Et looks like et came from th' ark, but what I don' know is, which ark?"

Looks never made anything run properly so Bert's comments are of no interest to us at this stage, but then again, if you don't like the answers, don't ask the questions.

"It's doing the job OK Bert," suggested Ian. Lew, the householder, turned up at Bert's side, along with Davo. We all know Lew. He's the town toilet attendant.

"When d' y' think you'll be finished Bert?" inquired Lew. "Th' way we're goin', pretty soon," came the answer.

"You'll take a post-dated cheque Bert? Just give it a day to two to cover some assets I've yet to get paid for," asked Lew. Bert take a post-dated cheque? We can doubt it after being caught by the other character with the rubber cheque book.

He's as likely to take another post-dated cheque as a pig is likely to lay eggs!

"I'll take et," retorted Bert.

Well, there you are! Looks like we're about to install laying boxes in the pig pen.

Just then, Dick arrived back on the scene.

"There's a bloke outside wanting to know if Bert's working here," he said.

"We'll let him know when we find out ourselves," answered Davo.

"You're early," observed Cam, resting after his hammer attack on the tank lid.

"I'll see him in a minit," growled Bert.

"Yes," agreed Dick standing there, hands on hips, looking pleased with himself.

"The other jobs were called off. It mightn't be pouring rain here, but they're got the biggest puddle to fall out of the skies in years on the other side of town."

"Now what have we got here, men?" Dick asked.

"What, can't yer see?" inquired a grimacing Bert.

"I heard a runour he can't read either," offered Lew as conversation.

He instantly became the centre of everyone's look. Knowing he had the seat of attention, so to speak, he went on with, "Yeah, the story goes that any similarity between the plans and how th' job really is and turns out is purely co-incidental."

Laughs all round.

"Yes Lew. Just tink," Dick said, "tree years ago, I couldn't even spell `enspector', now I is one."

Laughs all round again.

"We only found out the other day why he's working for the council instead of a contractor," announced a smiling apprentice.

"How's that Ian?" asked a surprised, grinning Dick.

"He can only use a hammer and chisel."

Talk about a pancake reaction! As flat as the proverbial bottle of beer, opened, and left standing in the sun for a week. People could be excused for thinking that the latter part of the proverbial description might apply to Ian. "Ian, yer as bright as a dull lightbulb," from Cam finally broke the loud silence.

So did the "crack" of a hammer on concrete, the "splash" of concrete into liquid, followed by a "splosh": a yell; and one sledge hammer and one Mervyn disappeared.

All the aforementioned trying to outdo each other in the race to be first to the bottom of the septic tank.

Archimedes even got into the act.

Concrete plus hammer plus big Mery added up to the principle that such a volume entering liquid(?) would remove the same amount from the tank and deposit it enmasse over the back wall of Lew's house. Hit the fan wasn't in it!

Now this house, as no one has yet pointed out, was at ground level, and the back door was also the only one operable at this time, due to Lew having made a deposit of his own of one truck into the FRONT door.

Something about a slight error in navigation

the previous evening, along with 10pm closing time. Lew was not only drunk, he was blind drunk — he had forgotten his glasses.

"Arrhh poop!" exclaimed Lew. "Yer right again," agreed Cam,as those who weren't partaking of the mid-week dip, rushed to retrieve the sledge hammer.

"Damn Merv!" Bert had said, after Ian told him of his floundering priorities. "The hammer can't swim: he can!"

Some mate! Sticks to you like old, cold, hard glue.

Luckily for all concerned, the pump that had arc-ed between tank and manhole on better jobs than this one, had j-u-s-t about done all that was required of it.

They found Mery struggling tohis feet, the relics of past gastronomical gourmet gluttony, clinging to him as if he, and only he, was capable of raising them from a watery grave, and out and up to where they could share life's delights with the rest of the nation's drop-outs.

"I'm always in th' poo. It's only the depth that seems to vary." Was what the relieved lads on top heard from our boy wallowing in the pits.

"I can't stand pain 'nd blood, 'specially when it's me own," spluttered Merv, as he clambered back over the from the brink of solubility.

"How am I gunna get into me house with no doors?" demanded Lew. "How are y' gunna survive th' next five minutes, y' should ask y'self if y' don't stop whingin'," spat out Merv, as he shook himself.

Mery was never one for taking his work home, but this time he had not choice really if he didn't wash soon.

"I'm gunna go home an' think I'm takin' you with me Lew." Not exactly the sweet smell of success, as one can imagine. ❑

0

❑

Could this Ark have anything to do with arc mesh, or perhaps are welding? Should Lew be asking the finishing time or the starting time?

Well if you don't like the questions, don't ask us the answers!

Are Archimedes Principles as strict as Victoria's Principles?

Is blind drunk the same as looking intoxication straight in the eye through the bottom of a glass?

This glue; does it remind us of something else?

Something to commiserate with Merv?

And what depths of depravity will we sink to next?

Grab a snorkle and join us in the next chapter with our metes.

Joint dinners bring City and Coast tourist ties closer ACCOMMODATION owners on the Capricorn 'Coast and in Rockhampton are making friends and helping boost the tourist industry by holding joint dinners every two months, Capricorn Coast Tourist Organisation president Brian Hooper said this week.

The second, in what promises to be a series of joint dinners, was held on Sunday night at the Drovers Rest in Mary Street. Thirty-two attended.

Mr Hooper said accommodation owners appreciated the chance to meet each other. "These dinners let us meet the other person that is the voice on a phone referring business to us or to whom we are referring business," he said.

The first joint dinner was held six weeks ago in frockhampton and that success led to the Drovers Rest night.

And plans were made then for the third dinner.

Mr Hooper said fulls marks should go to John Hacker of the Ambassador and Central Park Motels and Tony Chetcuti of the Albert Court for their organisation.

0 With Dale Childs THE Rockhampton City Art Competition at the Rockhampton Art Gallery, judged by Mr Cam Sparkes.

Firstly I would like to mention that out of the five sections, artists represented at the Mill Gallery won the local artists award and received five highly commended awards. I do however, disagree with Mr Sparkes selection for the major prize ... the Caltex Award. Glen Henderson's Focus on Ptychocarpa in oils.

And the murmurings around the ridges? ...

Well, it seems Mr Sparkes has a strange way of judging an art competition. I did hear the man say that, he did not necessarily like the paintings he had selected as winners of the various sections which poses the question: "How, the dickens can a person walk into a gallery containing 271 paintings and choose ,something you don't necessarily like, as being the best works?".

Mr Sparkes says that he considers there are several things that determine a good painting. Technical skill, presentation (framing is as important as taking a shower before you dress to go out), knowing your subject. These things make up 90 per cent of the painting. The other 10 per cent is a special essence which Mr Sparkes suggested could be the hand of God. Personally, I feel that had Mr Sparkes genuinely given his awards to paintings which he personally enjoyed, then he would have done a service to the people of Central Queensland. As it is he has elected to contribute to the mediocrity which our better artists are struggling to emerge from.

Our thanks to Don Taylor, director of the Rockhampton Art Gallery and to the Royal Queensland Art Society who have worked hard to present this exhibition. If you haven't seen it yet, the Rockhampton gallery will continue to display the collection for two weeks. Do take a look.

(The full list of winners will be published next week ... sorry Dale, no more space this week).

PS: "The- Chalk Gam" is,rieving at St Ursula's Hall this Friday and Saturday night at 8pm.

COAST resident feeling the pinch decided she needed a break. She broke into the cookie jar and found $200. She was driving out of town when mate hailed her and asked where she was going. "I'm off for $200 worth of holiday," she replied.

After four days away she was back with change ... I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles!

FORTY-FOUR members of the Yeppoon Pensioners' League had an enjoyable day at Keppel Sands hosted by the ladies of the Keppel Sands Advancement League last Tuesday.

On arrival at the Larcombe Hall the visitors were welcomed by president Evelyn Lumsden who extended birthday wishes to Sarah Hall, who that day was celebrating here 88th birthday, and to Ada Herd whose birthday was yesterday.

Following lunch supplied by the ladies, 13 children, from the Keppel Sands School entertained with a half-hour of song and rhyme. To the guitar accompaniment of head master, Marshall Gordon, the youngsters sang a medley which included "Waltzing' Matilda" and "Amazing Grace". Mr Gordon said it was the first time his young pupils had performed in public. Their presentation was a credit to their headmaster and themselves was the comment of the visitors.

A cent sale and competitions rounded off a really enjoyable day.

Winners of major raffle prizes were Eva Thomas, Evelyn Lumsden, Dot Walker (Keppel Sands), Thelma Shuttlewood, Joe McIntyre and Nick Darcy (Yeppoon.

THE Giggle and Gossip luncheon was a great success.

The 'Mad Hatter's Auction' raised $269 ... the largest amount raised by the group since they started last year.

The proceeds went to the Greenhalgh family whose boat over-turned recently (they lived on board).

Some of the items auctioned were crocheted cushions, knick-knacks and 'speciality' items, biscuits, chimes, almost anything you could think of.

The vote to hold another auction for the next Giggle and Gossip luncheon. was unanimous.

JULIE Nobbs of Ocean Parade celebrated her birthday with a formal, black tie dinner.

The five-course dinner was prepared by Julie with help from C.ath Brosnan, Sue Young and Julie's mother Rhonda Nobbs.

The 20 guests came from Brisbane, Dalby, Emerald, Bundaberg, Rockhampton and Yeppoon.

It has been a long time since I've heard of anyone going to all the trouble of a dinner party with silver service, drinks on the verandah and entertainment (this was in the form of bagpipes, played by Steven Young of Rockhampton).

BUTCHERS always seem to be a different breed from the rest of us ... they are always cheerful, usually have some remark to pass, seem to like it if you have a shot at them and certainly are like quicksilver when it comes to replying to the "shot". All this leads up to an item on Yeppoon Angliss butcher Jim Dwyer, who, with his wife, Sharon, leaves today for a new position at Glenden. Glenden is a new mining town west of Mackay and it's a step up for Jim, who will be manager of a supermarket/butcher shop. on behalf of many customers who have enjoyed his sense of humour "all the best" and don't forget the Coast.

THE MAGPIES'

â?‘ ABOVE: No wonder Aussie Rules has a big following ... you can't even mention that you like a particular club without getting a greetings card from one of the players. This is what happened when Nick D'arcy spoke with Frank and Chris Newton of Tanby Road recently. He said he liked the sport, followed the Collingwood Magpies and left it at that. Not long after he received this greeting from Magpies player Dale Woodhull ... Dale just happens to be the Newton's grandson. Nick D'arcy is now, more than ever, a confirmed Magpies follower.

YEPPOON'S under-11 soccer team will be the only one representing the Capricorn Coast in the Rockhampton grand finals today (Saturday), after last Saturday's preliminary finals.

The only other Yeppon teams that still had a chance of a grand final spot were the under10 and under-14, and both were eliminated last Saturday.

The under-11 blitzed Parkana 8-1 in a dazzling display of controlled team football.

Goals came from Anthony Quinn 3, Trevor Simpson 2, Shawn Pettiwood 1, Jed Hooper 1 and Pradesh Ramiah 1. Yeppoon started in fine style and were 5-nil up at half time, after scoring three goals in the first five minutes.

Parkana's defence held out a little better in the second half but it was really Yeppoon's day and the final scoreline reflected the difference between the sides on the day. The under-11 now meet the winner of the St George - Parkana clash in the grand final today.

Although Yeppoon's under-10 played all over minor premiers Bluebirds, the Rockhampton team scored a lucky goal and now progress to the grand final at Yeppoon's expense. Matt Harding led the Yeppoon team well by example while Matt Duckwitz was brilliant as goal-keeper and could nothing to stop the second half goal that finally separated the sides. Even the Bluebirds management acknowledged after the game that Yeppoon's under-10 didn't deserve to miss out on a finals berth, but the Yeppoon players can take pride in the manner in which they accepted their wins and their defeat.

Frenchville proved too strong for Yeppoon's under-14 in the other preliminary final and won easily 5-nil. Yeppoon fought hard but in the end were beaten by a better team on the day.

In other matches, the under-8 lost to St Anthony's by seven goals to nil, the under-7 lost 4-2 to Bluebirds (David Targett and Carl Dux) and the under-9 lost to Parkana Sharks 2-1 (Trent McCamley).

WANT to hear about the "liberated City of Rockhampton" ... Capricorn Tourist Development Organisation secretarymanager Ron Cockell was driving a few Japanese visitors through Rocky last week as part of an overseas promotion. Among the guests was a Japanese pop singer who was videoing parts of the region to use with the next single release. Anyway, as the tour party ground through Rockhampton there were regular titters, rising to guffaws, from the passengers. Ron couldn't figure out what was so funny ... so he asked. There was some hesitation from the Japanese until finally one explained that certain signs in prominent places showed Rockhampton was "a very liberated city". Now Rockhampton has been called a lot of things but liberated hardly fits the bill. Ron, frankly, was puzzled. He took particular note of the areas that continued to bring laughter and still couldn't figure out what was the joke.

No-one likes to be left out of a joke so Ron stopped the bus when the laughter was at its peak and asked what sign was so funny: "That one," said the Japanese'--1 spokesman. Ron looked, there was nothing funny that he could see. "Which sign?" he said. And the Japanese pointed to a XXXX sign on a pub awning. Ron still couldn't get the joke ... then the spokesman explained: In Japan, XXXX is a brand of contraceptive. No wonder they thought Rocky was liberated, XXXX does get an honourable mention on almost every corner. Silly, isn't it? I know people have been known to be asked to blow into a balloon after enjoying the product but this is ridiculous!

• o LITTLE boy, head barely high enough to allow him to see over the fence at Rugby Park, Rockhampton, was watching Cap Coast A Reserves powering their way to their first grand final victory. He did his best to support the Coast side but, late in the second half his attention wandered..He turned his back to the field and watched the crowd for a moment. Just then there was a turn in the play and it looked for an instant that Cities might score ... a male adult shouted to the little boy: "You missed that didn't you? You weren't watching." Boy obediently turned back toward the field. I felt so sorry for him ... I kept waiting for the replay too but apparently they don't have replays at live games! o ❑ o MORE footy ... Cr Maurie Webb was noticed in the crowd barracking for Cap Coast on Sunday afternoon. As the victorious Coast players strode froin the ground one said to another: "See Mauri‘ Webb watching ... maybe we've converte him." For those who came in late, Marie Webb has been known to take an interest in rugby league.

RING, ring, says phone ... Coast real estate agent says hello. Voice on other end identifies herself as sales rep for Southern paper (agent did not hear which city).

"We're doing a feature on the Whitsunday Islands and wondered if you would like an advertisement? Coast agent replies "this is the Capricorn Coast, not the Whitsundays" ... "Yes, I know that," says ad rep, "but don't you have listings for the •Whitsundays?" Agent started to give reply that the area was three hours away by car but gave up. That's a pity. Agent could have scored points by saying copy for advertisement was ready and waiting ... "just come and pick it up". That might have brought home the distance involved.
