Chairman sees 'tremendous three years ahead' for Livingstone Shire

❑ SATURDAY afternoon in front of the Shire Administration Centre and Member for Callide Lindsay Hartwig relaxed with a can of lemonade ... while all around him people were casting notes that later that night put him in charge of the shire for three years.

MARAUDING DOGS KILL PET SHEEP

MARAUDING dogs killed a pet sheep at Yeppoon High School on Tuesday night last week when they got into sheep and goat pens.

School farm fieldhand Bill Edwards said dogs had got into the pen where two sheep and two goats were kept overnight.

One sheep was killed and the other animals were mauled around their neck and legs.

Mr Edwards said he found the animals late on Wednesday morning "The students who look after the animals

were quite upset. The animals were good for the students because they could be handled easily, and now, because of the scare they got, they will have to be re-conditioned to humans again.

"The students were going to exhibit the goats in the Yeppoon Show in June but now they can't because of their wounds."

Mr Edwards said the sheep killed by dogs had a market value of $50 but was worth much more because of what it meant to students and because of the way it could be handled for teaching purposes.

"We think the dogs must have been dropped in the pen by people because the only other way they could have got in was through a small hole in the wire around the pen," Mr Edwards said.

"I sat on guard on Wednesday night and saw three dogs that were probably among the attackers on Tuesday night."

He said there was a security guard patrolling the school grounds every night now, and anybody found at the school after dark, without sufficient reason, would be prosecuted.

LIVINGSTONE Shire Chairman-elect Lindsay Hartwig MLA said on Tuesday he saw "a tremendous three years ahead".

"I don't know of any other place that could burst at the seams, such as this area could, given the right services," he said.

Mr Hartwig was in an expansive mood.

Obviously elated with his massive electoral success (Hartwig 4153 votes, John Bowen 1369 and Roy Wall 1128), he was looking forward to the next three years as chairman.

He had to leave for Brisbane in 30 minutes to take part in a vote in State Parliament but he was thinking about the shire.

He had spent a lot of time on Sunday and Monday taking congratulatory calls ... and sending out messages from Livingstone. One telegram had been sent to new Brisbane Lord Mayor Ald Sallyanne Atkinson congratulating her and her Liberal team on winning Brisbane City Council.

But his thoughts kept returning to Livingstone. He phoned shire clerk Bill Cass, asked when the poll was likely to be declared (Wednesday, April 10), and fixed a tentative date for the statutory first meeting (Monday, April 15).

He had spent about an hour at the Administration Centre on Monday afternoon and had made arrangements to have individual talks with senior staff and possibly a group talk with all staff, after Easter.

"I want to talk with the officers and find out if they have any problems," he said. "And I want to explain to them that when people come to the office seeking help and advice I want the officers to look at why that particular project should go ahead and sort out how we can help them.

"I expect developers to be told where they have gone wrong with their plans so that we can help them correct any mistakes and get things moving.

"I don't want undue delays ... speed is of the essence," Mr Hartwig said.

Looking ahead to the "tremendous thri years" that were coming, he said the Coat's had "one of the greatest tourist developments in the world right on our doorstep".

He wanted to see how things were going with this development (the Capricorn Iwasaki Resort) and see what was needed.

"This place has unlimited potential, it really has," he said.

On development generally, Mr Hartwig said the shire had to encourage it to spread the rate base. "That's why rates are lower in capital cities ... there's more people paying for everything."

Mr Hartwig left for Brisbane on the Tuesday afternoon plane and was booked to return on Thursday afternoon. He was scheduled to be the guest speaker at Yeppoon Rotary Club on Thursday night and will be opening Ridgelands Rodeo on Sunday.

YEPPOON businessman Dick Tyrer who stood unsuccessfully for Livingstone Shire Council this week said he would keep promises he made to residents during his campaign.

"Even though I didn't win a place on council, I feel that those people who supported me during the campaign, should be supported by me during the next three years.

"Three problems stood out when I was campaigning and I don't want those people who helped me to think that I have forgotten just because I didn't get elected," Mr Tyrer said.

"Standing for council was an experience. I have learnt a lot."

"My first priority is to help the residents in Charles Street to get the industrial estate moved and to make sure they get fair compensation when flooded out," he said.

Mr Tyrer will also push for two-hour parking limits in the main shopping centre.

"I agree with and will help the concerned group of residents who are unhappy about the positioning of the proposed swimming pool and its size."

It is not very often that a working man in a full-time job is given a chance to represent people on council firstly, then the many boards and organisations that are then available.

Mine has been a very busy life that will now change into a different style of living. There will be more time to cement those friendships that have been established over a long period of time.

My thanks goes to those voters who supported me and the principal and staff of St Brendan's College who helped make my representation possible.

I can't finish this letter without a word of advice. back the Yeppoon 'Seagulls' for the Rugby League premiership this year.

Hartwig gMrig top priority to water

Year overseas for a student

WATER, where it will come from, how clean it will be and how much of it will be available, has top priority with Livingstone Shire Chairman-elect Lindsay Hartwig MLA. He has already had preliminary talks with Rockhampton Mayor Ald Jim Webber about setting up a water board to serve Rockhampton City, Livingstone Shire and Fitzroy Shire.

But he is keeping his options open.

He said this week he wanted to visit Water Park Creek to see what was available and where weirs could be sited.

"I'm yet to be convinced that the filtration plant idea is totally adequate," he said.

"There's nothing worse that no water at all. I'll have to look at the size of the filtration plant and how much it will treat and what is the daily water consumption.

"I will be visiting Water Park Creek because I have not totally abandoned that scheme."

Mr Hartwig said he would be discussing water with Yohachiro Iwasaki and he would "certainly be exploring the feasibility of bringing water from Rockhampton if not satisfied with Water Park Creek".

He said he had talked about setting up a water "trust" or board.

"Rockhampton is looking for a larger filtration plant. If Rockhampton knows that Livingstone and Fitzroy are going to buy water from them then they can look at a bigger plant," he said.

Rockhampton had its own water problems but not with the amount available but with

YEPPOON Rotary Club wants students aged between 16 and 19 to apply for the chance to spend next year in either Japan, Canada, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, South Africa or the United States of America.

The successful applicant will leave in January next year for one of those countries as a Rotary Exchange student.

Applications in writing are needed by Sunday, April 14, but students wanting more information can contact Yeppoon Rotary Club international director Horst Simon at Como, 32 Anzac Parade, Yeppoon, or phone 39 1594.

Mr Simon said students could nominate the country of their choice. The district committee would endeavour to meet the student's wishes but did reserve the right to negotiate a hosting agreement with a Rotary Club in another country should the first choice be impossible to arrange.

Parents would have to pay the student's return airfares but the host Rotary club would meet all other costs for the year the student is overseas.

Yeppoon Rotary Club is now hosting Henrick Schmidt of Denmark, while Sion Griffiths of Lammermoor Beach is being hosted in the United States.

Mr Simon said the chance to spend a year overseas with a host family was something every student should consider.

"I want everyone thinking about it to get in touch with me so that I can answer any queries they might have," he said.

CHAIRMAN-elect Lindsay Hartwig MLA said this week it was "unique that three women are on the new council".

The three women councillors are Barbara Wildin, Ann Giorgi and Ellen Cogill.

Mr Hartwig said he was looking forward to working with them.

"It's the first time there has been so many women," he said. "It shows the way voters are thinking today and I'm happy to have them on the council."

LINDSAY Hartwig wants to thank everyone who had expressed confidence in him.

"It's the biggest majority given to a Chairman of this shire," he said.

He said he wanted people to feel they were part of the shire and that their elected representatives would be co-operating with residents.

New projects such as the Cuddy and Bretz shopping Centre and the extensions to the Savemore Centre would give the shire a "lift".

He expected these shopping facilities would make landlords modernise their shops which would benefit everyone.

He said he wanted the new council to "look ahead and not look back".

LIVINGSTONE SHIRE COUNCIL IN BRIEF Water meter tenders LIVINGSTONE Shire Council has accepted water meter tenders for Keppel Sands, Zilzie and Yeppoon of $30 but has rejected a tender of $55 for Emu Park.

At council's March meeting water and sewerage enginegr Pat Murphy presented a report with the five tenders for the installation of domestic water meter for the Capricorn Coast.

The Coast was divided into five sub areas so that each tender could quote on an area and a number of quotes could be accepted so installations could be completed by June 30, 1985.

The report said council is now installing

water meters at a cost of about $50 per metre in Yeppoon but this cost is expected to rise for the Emu Park area because of the travel time involved.

The tenders from Mr Turner and Mr Skinner at $30 per meter for Keppel Sands, Zilzie and Yeppoon central were acceptable and the quote from Mr Zimpel of $55 for Emu Park area was satisfactory.

Two other quotes were tendered. Neil Jones Pty Limited quoted $109 per meter and Mr Humphris quotes $73 per meter.

Division one councillor Lawrie Daley moved that the two $30 tenders be accepted and the other tender for $55 for Emu Park be negotiated with Mr Zimpel.

This was seconded by Cr Barbara Wildin and carried by council.

Flat registration fees

THE CHAIRMAN and division one and two councillors of the newly-elected Livingstone Shire Council will meet four flat proprietors to explain flat registration fees.

This was decided at the March council meeting during the presentation of the health surveyor's report.

The report stated five flat proprietors had not applied for registration or paid registration fees for the current financial year and one proprietor had applied for the registration but paid an incorrect fee.

Council sent a letter to the proprietors in February telling them the fees had not been paid correctly and the health department SAND BLASTING intended recommending to council that legal action be taken.

COMPETITIVE Mr Harmsworth informed council that since the letter one proprietor had paid A REPORT will be presented to RATES Cl) leaving four unpaid.

Letters on caravans THREE property owners using caravans for accommodation will be sent letters from Livingstone Shire Council explaining the bylaws and regulations regarding them.

At council's March meeting health surveyor John Harmsworth said, in his report, that out of nine inspections made of properties, three were using caravans for accommodation.

The report said camping in a caravan on any land without consent of council is a breach of health regulations, but a permit to use a caravan could be obtained after building plans for a dwelling are approved.

Mr Harmsworth told council people could live in a caravan while they built a home, provided they were genuine in their intentions and they were providing sufficient amenities to prevent a health risk.

Cr Arthur Rackemann said that living on their property was the only way some people "could get a quid together".

Cr John Bowen moved that a letter be sent to the people concerned telling them the bylaws and regulations. This was seconded by Cr Barbara Wildin and carried.

Division one councillors ...clean water, finances...

Ann Giorgi DIVISION One councillor-elect An Giorgi says her most immediate priority is t have clean water, because now there wa smelly water at Emu Park and dirty water a Keppel Sands.

She would also like to have dust-free road for all, perhaps by having a five-metre sealer strip for all roads throughout division two.

"I would like to create sub-committee immediately in town planning and sub divisions, engineering and works, financ, and administration, and public relations ant trouble-shooting," Mrs Giorgi said.

"I would also close the engineerin! department because it is an expensive luxur' the shire cannot afford. There is no reasot why contractors can't compete for jobs on weekly or monthly basis, and they could bt made responsible for bad jobs."

Mrs Giorgi said the shire did not need shire planner because there was enouglexpertise on the new council.

"I am thrilled that Duncan McDonald and are sitting. We have felt left out for far toc long. I'd also like to say thank-you tc everyone," she said.

Duncan McDonald NEW division one councillor-elect Duncar McDonald's first priority in council would bE to have a look at the finances and see wherE expenses could be cut.

"I think the other major issue is water for the Coast," he said. "The water has to come from the Barrage in Rockhampton so we have water for all time.

"If it was brought from there, the council might be able to supply water along the pipeline.

"There are developments near Cawarral and Mt Chalmers, and the council should be able to supply water there, at least."

New cars and trucks LIVINGSTONE Shire Council will spend $31,317 on cars and trucks with Chippindale Motor Company, Lawrence Motors and B and J Car Sales.

Tenders for four cars and four trucks were presented at council's March meeting by shire engineer Tony Rowe.

Council accepted his recommendations for all tenders including trade-ins.

Chippindale's will be paid $17,500 for a one tonne truck and two utilities. Lawrence Motors will receive $4,800 for two sedans and B and J Car Sales, $9,017 for three one tonne trucks.

Barbara Wildin DIVISION two councillor Barbara Wildin says she would like to draw all councillors together to work for the people who elected them ... and the council, council officers and community should work together in a combined effort to keep down the loans.

Cr Wildin said the main issues were the debt, water, and the roads, all of which cost money. It was also important that if the council was to get off the loan market, people should exercise restraint.

"The Federal Government Grants Commission is going to cut subsidies by 25 per cent, and we have to keep that in mind," she said.

"I also think the by-laws should be overhauled to exercise commonsense and practicalities.

"It is also important to have goals to work toward, so we know where we are going as a shire.

"We should work toward greater communication between all people, councillors and council officers to dispel a lot of mistrust and to point council in the right direction," Cr Wildin said.

Brian Dorey DIVISION two councillor-elect Brian Dorey said this week he had not . expected to top the poll.

"I felt sure I would get in, but not to top the poll," he said. "It's been a great boost to my confidence and it makes you realise that people must trust you."

He said he was "very happy with the cross-section of brains and energy" elected to council. "I feel we have a fresh look and people with commonsense," he said.

He said the first priority was to take a look at the administration and all its branches because he felt it needed tightening up. "With that, we should see where we are wasting money and where we can get subsidies," he said.

"The second priority is water and this should come from the cheapest source.

If we can get Iwasaki involved in will affect where.we get our water from.

"If we stay with the Waterpark Creek water scheme, we would have to build dams and weirs in the future for water storage.

"This has to be remembered when cost comparisons are made with getting water from the Fitzroy barrage.

"I think that by the end of this term we should have clean water," he said.

Mr Dorey said it was worth looking at consulting engineers because he had reservations about the engineering department.

Mr Dorey was a Livingstone Shire councillor for three terms from 1973 to 1982 and said he topped the poll in the 1979 election. "It might take a while to get back into the swing of things, but not too long," he said.

Geoff Cue DIVISION two councillor-elect Geoff Cue says he would like this council to establish clear policies and goals, and for them to be available in the clearest possible form.

He would like to see the council broken up into committees, including finance, works and town planning.

"Prior to this, I feel a councillor had to be a Jack of all trades," he said. "With a committee system, using individual expertise, it should only be a matter of committees bringing a motion to the table and it being passed."

Commenting on the shire's financial position, Mr Cue said:"I wish there was more cash in the tin."

He said he was very happy with the people elected to council.

Division two councillors talk about the future...

Mario Cresta DIVISION two councillor Mario Cresta said this week he thought the new council would work together better than the last one because there were councillors with similar views.

He congratulated all candidates for a clean competition.

He said the first thing he would do in council was to work toward graduating council off the loan market as he had promised. Secondly, he would increase the rate base and spend in line with what council could afford.

"I would also like to see an investigation of all departments because they are inefficient," Cr Cresta said. "I've been in council for three years and I've got eyes.

"This council should offer more encouragement for businesses coming into the area than the last one did.

"Those councillors who lost the election didn't want development. How is the shire to survive if it doesn't go ahead?"

L.,

Anderson says he will see how chairmanelect Lindsay Hartwig MLA wants his council to operate before doing anything.

After that, he would like to see a series of committees so that councillors could use their expertise to the best advantage.

"For example, a finance and management committee, works committee and so on," he said.

"I'd also like to see non-council people working on these committees on a voluntary basis where their expertise in engineering, industrial psychology, accounting, or other skills, could be used.

"I feel the old council was a little bit resigned, and I don't think this council is that way ... we now have an expert, cohesive council."

Mr Anderson said he had a buoyant and optimistic feeling for the new council, and felt the people had made a pretty dramatic statement in their voting.

The First Tropical Resort in Queensland...The Capri Jesus the go-between you and God Death of Christ Paster Ernie Peters, Capricorn Coast Assembly of God EASTER '85 is here. It is due to one event ... that being that Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God rose from the dead. He did not just come back to life but was changed into the supernatural body which all those who love Him will experience when Jesus returns to collect His own.

The event of Jesus' resurrection gives us assurance that we shall be like Him when we see Him. Only Jesus can say: "Come unto Me all you that are burdened down with life, and I will give you rest". Only Jesus is our `password' to the power of heaven, to set free, to deliver and make anew. Jesus is still looking for people that no-one else wants. He also remains Supreme. Many have risen up as the way to God, calling themselves many mighty titles just as Jesus said they would.

But Jesus is still the go-between you and God the Father.

Jesus though a man is now in His eternal state therefore making Him as the scripture

says: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever".

Jesus came to "destroy the works of the devil" and He still is doing that. He overcame the power of sin and death, and he desires to do that for you. When the programme on this planet is over and satan has had his final fling then he shall be thrown in the lake of fire for ever and for ever, but sadly, along with all those who have not received God's simple plan of slavation through His precious Son. The Word of God urges you to present yourself, of your own free will, to God. You legally belong to God because God paid for you as a slave bought back from the dominion of satan through the death of Jesus. It is therefore very foolish for you to continue serving satan just to sizzle with him when you can enjoy freedom from the demans of sin now and be forever with God and forever free from the presence of evil.

Sounds good? It sure is good. it starts now and gets better each day!!

Just as Jesus was hanging on the cross, reaching out to the criminals each side as it were, He is still reaching out to all people today, both to those who want Him and to those who don't. Even though today the world hates Him He is still desiring to forgive every person of their sins when they come to Him. God means what He says and it is possible due to the beautiful Easter victory in the Resurrection. "Whoever calls on the Name of the Lord (Jesus Christ) shall be saved." God wants to forgive you ... please let Him!

❑ Pastor Peter Keilar, Wesleyan Methodist —1 Church.

IF EASTER means one thing to us, one thing above all others, that thing is unity. The death of Christ is a powerful unifying force.

The unity Christ brings is not a vague one, not even just a desire for fellowship, or a distaste for division. It is a unity of those saved in Christ.

Jesus spoke of Himself as the Good Shepherd, He said: "I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice: and they shall become one flock, one Shepherd." (John 10:15f) Jesus' passion for unity comes out also in His sayng: "I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself" (John 12:32), and in the prayer that His followers be one (John 17:21).

The cross of Christ is the mighty climax of the New Testament to which all else leads up. Jesus came to earth to bring salvation to mankind, and He brings that salvation as the divine Son of God. The cross depicts vividly the perpetual conflict Jesus has with the forces of darkness and the ultimate words: "It is finished" tell us that Satan's power is broken at the cross.

It is on the cross that Christ finally shows His Kingship, for there is He Conqueror and King. The early fathers of the church said: "He reigned from the tree".

How can you and I gain the salvation Christ bought on the cross? It is still in that same old simple way: by faith. By faith we believe that our sins were taken up by Him and that He bore the penalty as our

corn Coast...The First Tropical Resort in Queensland a Llnifying force...

Awesome story of the Son of God Substitute. Isn't it marvellous to think that there is nothing for us to do, save believe — have ultimate trust — in Christ, and our sins are forgiven. Friends trust in Christ to save you, for as God's Word says: "Therefore He (Jesus) is able to save completely those who come to God and through Him, because He always lives to intercede for them."

(Hebrews 7:25)

The dark roads are not so dark 0 By Reverend Nyree Svenson, Uniting Church in Australia, Capricorn Coast.

I ENJOY travelling at night. I can see traffic better, it is cooler and more comfortable. But it would not be so if I didn't have car lights, if the road was not bitumenised and if I didn't have some sense of direction on the road. In fact, if someone had not been there before me and prepared for the journey it would have been a real battle for me to travel by night. But the battle has been won for me and I can travel in reasonable safety and without fear.

The battle has been won for me over life's fears and doubts because Jesus Christ went before and through a Cross conquered fear — fear of isolation, of loneliness, of pain, of suffering, and of death itself. Because I believe he has been raised from death and I can call upon him to be with me I know the dark roads are not so dark and I need not be afraid, for he has been there before.

Why not try it and see!

❑ Pastor Deuter, Yeppoon Baptist Church EASTER! The name conjures up such things as Easter Bunny, easter eggs and a long weekend of holidays. Surely as we try to explain to our children what Easter is really all about, we must be somewhat confused as to why all these things have been added to the simple but awesome story of the Son of God Who was crucified for us on a cruel Roman cross for our sins.

We read in 1 Cor 14:33 that God is not the author of confusion. But obviously confusion has been added to the story of the resurrection of Christ — it has been confused with the stories of the season of spring and the renewal of life as seen in the Northern Hemisphere. It has also been confused with the renewal of life as symbolised with the egg. Why? I believe the answer is simple. To hide from our eyes the awesome reality that the Son of God came in human flesh, lived a perfect life, was condemned unjustly, die and rose again — all for our sins.

Easter: greatest of all Christian festivals...

O Father John Cornish, Anglican Parish of Keppel.

EASTER is the greatest of all the Christian festivals and it depends upon the reality of the death and rebirth of one obscure and unlikely man, Jesus Christ. He lived, we are told some 2000 years ago. A long, long distance from 1985 in time and scientific study.

The main method of proving the truth of Christ's resurrection is not a skillful piecing together of the versions of his return to life, of those whihc we find in the Bible, like a jig-saw puzzle, but in what Christians do every Sunday and in the quality of their lives on every day of the week. When Christians meet to break the bread and drink the win as he instructed his followerso do, they not only remember his death but they also show that the risen Lord is present in their midst.

The celebration of the death of a dead leader would not be an occasion of joy and thanksgiving. We only have to call to mind how solemn an Anzac Day service is to realise that. From the earliest days the disciples of Jesus met to make a joyful memorial of his death. This is the strongest possible evidence of their knowledge of his returning to life.

We also read of the miraculous change in his disciples who had fled in all directions at his death and yet later we see them speaking boldly in the name of the risen Lord Jesus, even before the very court which had condemned their leader to death.

How could these be the same people?

How is it that people today can be as greatly changed? The answer lies in the only acceptable fact, Jesus Christ did rise from the dead. He is alive and through the Holy Spirit -ever present in the midst of Christians.

Jesus lives! What a wonderful truth. Our future is full of meaning and hope. In spite of all that we may experience in our life, good and not-so-good, we can know with great confidence that Jesus' return to life gives our lives hope and meaning.

Jesus to us is like a lamp in the darkness.

Until the lamp is lit, we stumble about crashin into all that is placed in our way. Once it is lit we know where we are and how to walk about in safety. Light gives meaning and relationship. Jesus, the risen Lord, gives meaning and relationship!

I encourage you to see that the return to life of Jesus Christ, which we Christians celebrate this Easter, is the means by which your life can have meaning and relationship.

What is the meaning of life? It is in Easter that we find the meaning of life. It is to glorify God, and to fully enjoy him forever because God has loved us in spite of what we like. He accepts us because of the death and rising of his Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ is risen. He is risen indeed!

How can we be certain that all this is so?

Despite the modernists and other who try to deny it, Jesus Christ really did live.

Heathen historians are compelled by the evidence to include the story in their histories. Heathen emperors are appealed to by their governors for guidance as to how they are to deal with these people who rish their very life in refusing to sacrifice to the emperor as God. Thousands seal their faith in the resurrection with their own blood in the areas, singing praise to the One for Whose Name they are being torn apart by the lions or burnt as torches for the emperor's garden.

The New Testament accounts of the life and death of Jesus Christ ring with authenticity even today. J B Phillips, translator of the Scriptures, was compelled to remark on this in the forward to his translation. The Disciple John, as he watched his beloved Lord dying on the cross, records faithfully something he can't understand. John 19:34-35 records how blood and water flowed from the pierced side of the Lord. How could he know that, as was only recently discovered, that this was medical evidence of the death of his Lord.

The life and death of Christ are far easier than the resurrection to deal with. Can it really be that One rose from the dead? This would make Christ unique among all leaders of religions. It would make Him unique among all peoples. This very fact assures us it must be so, for who could conceive such a thing? Who would conceive it and then pay for it with their own blood? What else could transform a group of terrified disciples, meeting behind barred doors for very fear of the Jews into a band of men who could boldly proclaim the resurrection before those very same Jews? What else explains the conversion of Saul, bent on destroying this to him, heinous story, to its greatest exponent and preacher? What else explains the church today? For despite its coldness the church still proclaims Christ is risen. What else explains Christians or missionaries who leave the wealth and comfort of this nation to fo and live with primitive peoples to tell them of One Who died and rose again for them?

As these things speak to our heart, let us hear the voice of Christ speak to you today. he still says to all who would know: "Reach hither thy finger, and behold My hands; and reach hither thy hand and thrust it into My side; and be not faithless, but believing".

Christ never refuses the honest inquirer. He calls to you today to reach out on the basis of this word, and call upon Him. He says that they that seek and search for Him with all their heart will find Him. He calls you to come. He really did die for you, and He stands alive today to give you Eternal life, if you will repent of your sin and claim Him as your Lord and your God (John 20:28). Don't be confused this Easter, accept the Truth of God Himself and know. He lives — in you!

YEPPOON Pensioners' League will ask Livingstone Shire Council for a 50 per cent rebate on the amount paid by the league in rent for Yeppoon Town Hall.

Yeppoon league president Bill Shuttlewood told last Thursday's monthly meeting that the 20 cent raffle conducted at socials and meetings did not cover the rent of the town hall and the afternoon tea supplied free at each activity.

He said he understood many local authorities granted pensioner organisations the privilege of free rentals for socials and meetings.

Earlier in the meeting Mr Shuttlewood, when giving a report on the first meeting of the Capricorn Coast committee for Aged and infirm, said one of the objects of the committee was to investigate the possibility of establishing a Schotia Place-type building for the Coast. If such a place eventuated the pensioners' league would have a social and meeting venue available at a low rental and would become a self-supporting body.

The motion to ask council for rental rebates was carried unanimously.

Coadelitel FOUR generations of Mrs Elsie Hinton's family were represented at a recent St James Guild cent sale.

There was her daughter, grand-daughter and great-grandchild.

Winners at the cent sale were Mrs J Preston, Mrs A Abel, a Melbourne visitor Mrs L Bristo and Mrs D Ward.

Mrs V Angel was the jackpot winner and the holder of the lucky door number was Mrs N Moran.

The next St James Guild cent sale is on Wednesday, April 24 at the hall in Mary Street, Yeppoon. o o o YEPPOON Camera Club's next meeting is on Monday, April 8 in Yeppoon RSL hall at 8pm. The competitions are 'People' and 'Autumn'.

The May meeting will be a practical night. o o ❑ THANK you for bearing with John and myself over the past few weeks. What with elections, Easter, holidays and John not feeling so well, a few things have had to slip by the way. One was the date of coming events.

The Paint-Pot-Gallery also suffered, and there would have to be an exhibition on right now. It is good one, like they all are, and deserves support.

John thanks everyone for the cards and greetings (like Dean Martin used to) o

SAVE May 15 or 16 for 'Bats' ... it's set in Transylvania (Yeppoon Town Hall).

The production is this year's show put on

by Yeppoon High School students.

The plot opends with a town that's going broke ... then the residents decide to open Dracula's Castle as a tourist attraction.

Throw in a few characters like Hollywood director Cecil Star and a 'godfather' with offsiders Nasha and Nosha and what do you have? A clash between good and evil and lots of fun for the audience.

The show is written by Denver and Dorricott, two teachers who write musical productions designed for high schools.

YVONNE and John Peach celebrated a belated 30th wedding anniversary on Sunday with family and friends.

Actually it was really Von's birthday, but they hadn't had a party for the anniversary and decided to combine the two.

O ❑ o THE Coast's new social worker, Mary Casey, says she is getting a steady stream of clients trhough her community health office in Anzac Parade, Yeppoon.

Miss Casey said she has been doing followups of clients who had been to the previous social worker. Other people found her by word of mouth.

She said there had been people trying to handle things by themselves while there had been no social worker on the Coast and they needed someone to talk to.

"All areas don't have the same social problems. The Coast has a variety of problems," she said.

"Probably being the only social worker here gives me a good look at all the problems on the Capricorn Coast.

"I've seen family disruptions, drug problems and misbehaviour problems.

"A few mothers have had misbehaving kids, so we talked about reinforcing good behaviour and discouraging bad behaviour.

It gave them a different perspective on yelling or smacking the kids."

Miss Casey says she has time to see more people but she is not idle at the moment.

Anyone with a problem they think could be helped by an understanding person with constructive suggestions can go to Mary.

She's at the Community Health Centre in Anzac Parade, Yeppoon, between 9am and 5pm from Monday to Friday, or you can phone her on 39 1469.

YEPPOON Scout Group is looking for a new hall to meet in, or finance to build one on its block of land.

Scout leader Kevin Robinson said at the moment the scouts would probably use an area at Tyrer Park. The two cub packs are using the brownie hall in Arthur Street.

"We have looked at using other halls, but these seem to be too expensive for us," he said.

The group has a piece of land in Cooee Bay and want to build a hut for use by cubs and scouts.

"We are trying to raise the finance to build the hut, but fundraising is slow. The boys aren't allowed to do any fundraising and there are limitations on how we can raise money."

Mr Robinson said the group was also looking for a group leader and a scout leader.

The group leader is the co-ordinator between uniformed leaders, cubs, scouts and the group committee. The committee is made up of parents and interested people who raise money, organise the meeting places and make sure all sections have enough equipment to serve the boys' needs.

"You don't have to be experienced to be a leader. Full training is given to everyone who joins the uniformed scout movement.

"The courses are conducted on weekends and some nights during the week. The new leaders are taught by fully trained instructors and it's not all hard work. Scouting is fun," he said.

Anyone interested in helping the scouts with either a hall or leadership can contact Kevin Brumm 39 1131 or John Middleton 39 3243.

"It is a true story of his courage and survival in the pioneering days of the 1920s," Mrs Oram said.

The story starts when Harold Hansen has an accident when a child that severely restricts him in his movements and tells how he coped on his family's farm.

Mrs Oram has known Mr Hansen since she was nine years old when she moved with her family to his hometown, Baralaba. Her husband now looks after Mr Hansen's land.

Nerimbera talks LIVINGSTONE Shire councillors will meet residents of Nerimbera this month to talk about their water connections.

The matter was brought up when a report of a meeting between Rockhampton City Council and Livingstone Shire representatives held at the town hall on February 14 was presented to Livingstone Shire Council's March meeting.

At the combined meeting Mayor Ald Jim Webber said that water connections made to residents in the shire's area at Nerimbera had reached a stage where council should

Caprkorn Coast _ . give consideration to the construction of a reservoir. The idea was left in the hands of the shire council to advise the city council.

Cr Dick Tennent said he had talked to one resident at Nerimbera and he doubted she wanted the water connected or a garbage service.

"All the blocks out there are rural blocks and have their own water supplies and they don't want to be saddled with $400 or $500 water rates," he said.

Councillors suggested they meet with the residents to discuss the matter and shire chairman Cr Roy Wall said this should be done after the election.

"If we met with them before the election they would say it was only electioneering," Cr Wall said.

It was moved by Cr Wall and seconded by Cr Barbara Wildin that the new council meet Nerimbera residents in April to talk about water connections.

Toilet quote LIVINGSTONE Shire Council will have estimates done for renovations to a toilet block to prevent its possible demolition.

A report by health surveyor John Harmsworth recommended the toilet block on the eastern side of the Scenic Highway at The Causeway be demolished.

The report said the block was unsatisfactory for the following reasons: the floor level is below surrounding ground level and this, combined with holes in the walls, causes inundation of mud and slush; the urinal constructed of painted concrete is unhygenic; the concrete floor is pitted and therefore difficult to maintain hygenically; the roof is holed- in several places; and the toilet block on the western side of the highway is only 200 metres away.

When asked by Cr Lawrie Daley if the toilet block was on a septic tank Mr Harmsworth said it was.

Keppel Krippler THE 1985 Great Keppel Island Sailboard Marathon that is affectionately known as the `Keppel Krippler' lived up to its name last weekend.

Forty-one sailboard riders lined up on Emu Park beach for a `Le Mans' start to race to Wapparaburra Haven on Great Keppel Island. There was a 15-knot south easterly breeze and the Coastguard reported huge seas out in the centre. .

The wind freshened suddenly to 30 knots plus as the fleet rounded the breakwater and 10 competitors were wiped out in the shore break and forced to return to the beach.

Conditions deteriorated and more competitors were collected by the rescue boats.

The front runners, Martin Cooper, Ralph Stafford and Mark Ward, all of Gladtone, sailed custom wave boards and Steve Rodda of Yeppoon, on an F Lightning, had a tight fight completing the crossing in 25 minutes, arriving within seconds of each other for the run up the beach for the finish.

Adrian Stafford finished next followed 10 minutes later by Byron Dewitt.

Fifteen open boards and one windsurfer completed the course.

A barbecue and presentation at Wapparaburra Haven ended the day on Saturday.

The organisers and competitors were brought back to the mainland by Keppel Cat 1 on Sunday. The winners, Greg Moore and Martin Cooper won weekends for two at Great Keppel Island courtesy of Wapparaburra Haven.

TWO MORE POINTS TO SEAGULLS FOR WIN YEPPOON Seagulls posted another two competition points in wet and slippery conditions when they defeated All Blacks 2612 at Browne Park on Sunday.

Yeppoon Rugby League team's first points came in the fifth minute when big centre Shane Weir recieved a pass from Terry Hansen to score wide out.

Weir was in again in the ninth minute after Jeff Hansen, Tank Duncan and Terry Hansen handled. With Seagulls attacking All Blacks line, captain Tank Duncan ran on to ball and put Tony Orgill through the gap to score an easy try.

All Blacks first points came in the 25th minute when Peter Alberts went over for their first try to make the score 14-6. With the Seagulls on top they bombed several tries with bad handling.

Yeppoon were over agin after John Jenkins received ball from ruck 20 metres out and doubled around, found Robert Chellingsworth on the fly for him to score under the posts. Jenkins converted.

All Blacks received a penalty just before the half-time hooter so the socre going into the break was 20-8 in Yeppoon's favour.

The wet conditions took heavy toll with both teams having handling troubles.

All Blacks were over again in the 55th minute. Seagulls next points came from a penalty kick by John Jenkins to make the score 22-12 in Seagulls favour.

In the closing stages Yeppoon received a penalty. Terry Hansen took tap 25 metres out, passed to Jeff Hansen who passed to Bill Buchester who scored in the corner.

Full time score 26-12, favouring Yeppoon.

Seagulls Reserve grade played on Friday night and defeated Fitzroys 23-4.

This game was evenly matched for most of the first half with the Greens making good ground with line kicks. But the Seagulls put first points on the board after attacking in the Fitzroys half when Mick Blackburn ran the blind to score. Bill Buchester converted from the side line.

Fitzroys points came from a try in the 38th minute. Half-time saw the Seagulls leading 64.

Seagulls took control in the second half.

Bill Buchester took tap from 10 metres out and dashed over the try line and converted his own try to make the score 12-4.

Captain-coach Bob Hansen was next to score after a scrum 10 metres in Greens half.

He received the ball and ran 40 metres to add to the score and when Buchester converted

the board read 18-4. Then Buchester potted a 30 metres field goal. Paul Childs who worked hard all match scored a well deserved try in the 75th minute, to make the final score 23-4 in Seagulls favour.

Alan Moylan was named Man of the Match.

Y.eppoon Rugby League officials and players payed tribute to Clem Domic on his return to the playing field on Friday night for Fitzroys. He lost an arm early last season.

The Seagulls under-19 team was defeated

by Norths 32-2.

The Yeppoon youngsters held Norths for the first 20 minutes and led at that point 2-0, gained from a penalty kick by Adrian White.

"Don't let a loss get you down, you'll soon turn the tide," Yeppoon Rugby League spokesman Noel Alley said.

Yeppoon A grade was without two of its players, Dave McCosker and Ian Brazier.

They were in Bowen with the Capras and will spend a week in camp at Proserpine training under coach Bill Nosworthy (who is also Yeppoon's senior coach), preparing for the central Central Queensland team playing Recliffe at Browne Park, Rockhampton on Easter Sunday.

TYRER PARK Races

YEPPOON Australian Rules Football teams both had convincing wins at Stenlake Park, Wandal's home ground, on Saturday.

"Many 'doubting Thomases' can doubt no more than the Yeppoon Swans have indeed arrived as a force in CAFL football," club secretary Bill North said.

"In fact, they must be early favourites for a grand final berth on form exposed to date."

The seniors defeated Wandall 15 goals, 19 behinds, 109 points to 4 goals, 12 behinds, 36 points.

Yeppoon opened well with players keen to play well against Wandal, one of the traditional 'heavyweights' of Capricornia Region football.

Led well by captain coach Alex Herewane the Swans were in front of Wandal at the first change.

With Steve Bourne on fire around the goals and `sharp-shooter' Jay Blake also not putting a foot wrong on the forward line, Yeppoon bounded away in the second quarter. On the back line, 'JR' (J Heathcote) was a repelling force for the Swans and Rick Marshetto around the ground was doing some very useful things.

The third quarter was the best. The opposition was demoralised to the point where Wandal gave up the chase too easily and did not go in hard enough.

The final terms was another good one for the Swans. Wandal scored its second goal in this quarter, but Yeppoon had 12 goals on the board.

Reserves defeated Wandal, 13.14.92 points to 3.7.25.

The best players in the seniors game were: J Heathcote; J McCarthy; A Herewane; J Hoelscher; R Marshetto; S Bourne and G Kemp.

Goal kickers: S Bourne 4; J Blake, S Tickner 3 each; L Minge 2; P Betoli, R Macek and G Kemp one each.

Alex Herewane won the $200 prize donated by Rex Robinson. The winner was decided by premiership winning WilstonGrange coach Ken Garcia. Alex gave the

Special day EIGHT visiting clubs and an overwhelming number of home members turned out in force to help Yeppoon Ladies Bowls Club patroness Ivy Jackson celebrate her special day.

"Our talented patroness not only donates the trophies, but usually makes the beautiful gifts," club spokesman Ivy McNamara said.

The winners of the handpainted trophies were: J Allandon, E Saxby, B Roberts and I McNamara. Runners up: D Barry, G McPherson, T Worley and S Neil, from North Rockhampton.

The consolation prize was won by R Goody, M Hawkswell, T Childs and J Beasley. Touchers: B Roberts, L Goodwin, E Liddell and D

prize to the club as an encouragement to other players and to masseur Peter Noga and trainer Don 'Swinger' Ringin.

Rick Marshetto win the Pacific Hotel dinner for two; Trevor Ackfield won the Mike King football boots; J Heathcote won the $20 prize from Yeppoon Cleaning Service.

The reserve goal kickers were: J Dale 4; M Keech and R Gleeson 2 each; B Cruickshank, P Adsett, T Ackfield, B Motton and P Tickner, one each.

T Ackfield won the Pacific Hotel dinner; M Keech the Rex Robinson $20 cash award; L Kane, a XXXX carton donated by Alex Herewane.

Best reserve players: L Kane; M Keech; P Adsett; R Gleeson; J Dale; A Kelly and T Ackfield.

There are no games this weekend because of Carnival selection trials and next week Yeppoon plays Parkana at home.

3 Islands race SEVEN out of 20 yachts finished the Capricorn Cruising Yacht Club's Three Islands Race on Saturday, with Fenina winning line honours in an exciting finish.

Fenina crossed the line six hours 21 minutes and 10 seconds after the 9am start, beating Beware of Dog into second place by 66 seconds.

The boats sailed from Rosslyn Bay Boat Harbour to three islands ... Conical, North Keppel and Great Keppel. Two runners from each division raced over a course on the three islands and the boats finished at Fisherman's Beach on Great Keppel Island.

Many boats dropped out or did not start because of the rough seas and winds up to 30 knots.

Officer in charge for the day, Matt Orgill, said four boats under 21 foot had elected not to race because of the weather conditions.

"Six boats withdrew and only seven out of the 20 boats that started the race, finished," he said.

"The last boat finished the race about 5.30pm ... eight-and-a-half hours after the start."

Apart from line honours there were five divisions: over 21' monohull; under 21' monohull; students; fun and multihull.

On handicap the over 21' monohull was won by orange-hulled-Paprika, skippered by Doug Shepherd. Beware of Dog, skippered

by John Learmonth was second.

Scandal (M McLachlan) was first in the over 21' division with Eric (R Effeney) second. Outrageous was first in the student division skippered by H Walmsley.

Line honours winner Fenina was first in the fun division with Ku Ku Special ( B Thaw) second. The multihull division was won by Pipedreams, skippered by Bill Gubbins.

Bill Fraser from Fenina won a a weekend for the four crew and runners on Great Keppel Island at the resort, courtesy of TAA. Division trophies were beer mugs, steak knives, books, a wine cooler and stopwatches.

Igawe6 Riff totite6

Tke back of Eke Kiwis/to LIVINGSTONE Shire Council staff involved in the election on Saturday certainly put in some hours. Some started their day at 5am and were still working at 2.30am on Sunday. One of them "discovered" late Sunday afternoon that he had broken his watch, and then discovered that the sun rises in the West.

How? He got home late Sunday morning, went to bed with his watch on, and woke at 5.30pm with the "morning" sun coming from the wrong direction. That was when he thought his watch was broken ... but, all was well, his watch was showing the right time and the "morning" sun was, of course, the afternoon sun heading in the right direction. Oh well, he's got three years to get over it!!! o o 0 COUNTING votes is a slow process ... and the time it takes must be agonising for the candidates. But, if you go to the right booth and time it right, casting a vote is a fairly quick process. But something puzzles me. When you go up to vote you are asked your name, it's looked up on thi._,, roll, your address is checked, with you, and then a line is drawn through your name and address, you are given ballot papers and away you go to exercise your democratic right. So far so good. But what, happens if you leave that polling place, rip into the next area, give your name, your address and a new set of ballot papers?

OK, so later on it's found you voted twice (or three times or four or more) and you can wind up spending some time in court and all the rest ... but what happens to those extra votes you cast? Who decides which ones will be pulled out of the ballot box? Obviously none of them can. So what happens to the result? Perhaps a new poll can be called ... but the same thing can happen again, can't it? All the scrutineers in the world watching the polling officials can't stop the above from happening (well, if they can, I'd like to know how) so maybe, in this computerised age we need to update our systems. Perhaps a phone could be installed at each polling place with an open line to the polling headquarters and, as each name is given, it's read over the phone and checked off on one roll.

Just an idea ... probably nothing will come of it; but if we are going to face scrutineers at polling places perhaps we should look to tightening up the system.

O 0 0 MORE on the same as above ... what's to stop someone giving someone else's name and address and voting for them? I know of at least one person who left town a month ago and would definitely not be voting so there would have been no dange of getting caught by giving that person 's name and having a second vote at a second polling place. The only way to beat that, surely, would be for everyone to be asked for identification. Just another thought!!!

AND now another bite at the same topic. There was talk at the Administration Centre on Saturday night while votes were being counted about how ratepayers who don't live in the shire should be given a vote ... "After all," as one person said, "it's their money that's being spent so they deserve a vote." Sounds reasonable, doesn't it? But, with little else to do, I started thinking about it. If ratepayers get a vote, do they get one vote per rate notice or just one vote for being a ratepayer (think how votes Iwasaki would have)?

And, if it's only one vote per ratepaying person, does that mean a person owning land in, say, three shires, has a vote in each? Starting to get difficult ... so it's another thought to mull over. Wonder if an answer will be found in the next three \‘.; ._ears?
