Chairman fights back when four push for 'gag' A MOVE to stop Livingstone Shire . chairman Cr Lindsay Hartwig, MLA, making "unauthorised" statements to the media backfired this week when two of its backers voted against it.

Four councillors, Brian Dorey, Geoff Cue, Mario Cresta and Jim Anderson, in a notice of motion lodged last week, called for a special meeting to seek answers from Cr Hartwig about "mischievous" statements made to the media.

After a debate lasting more than an hour, a vote was taken on a motion moved and seconded by Crs Cresta and Anderson ... it was defeated, and Crs Dorey and Cue were among those who voted against it.

Only Crs Cresta and Anderson voted for the motion.

Prior to the vote, a wide-ranging debate showed that the split in council's ranks, which has been evident since the new council took office, has developed into a gulf separating one "team" from the rest of the councillors.

The council that was going to "heal the rift" and "get things going" degenerated into brawling in public.

The four councillors who had called Cr Hartwig to publicly account for his statements appeared to take a soft line in their statements ... but Cr Hartwig, who took the attack personally, fought back, boots and all.

Cr Hartwig called on each of the four to state their reasons for calling the special meeting.

He asked Cr Dorey to lead. Cr Dorey described the notice of motion as "a healing movement, not a conflict movement".

He said statements being published were "not benefiting our cause as a whole". He suggested councillors "put their swords back into their scabbards".

Speaking to Cr Hartwig, Cr Dorey said "it may appeal:" that the motion was directed at Cr Hartwig but he assured him it wasn't.

He asked council to try and stop "generating a storm" that made things worse than they were.

He sat down, apparently finished, but Cr Hartwig was not satisfied with Cr Dorey's remarks. He asked him to elaborate on paragraph two of the motion which described statements made by Cr Hartwig as "mishievous" and "confusing to the public".

Cr Cresta was next. He said a ratepayer had told him a news item on the ABC had quoted Cr Hartwig as saying that "a majority of councillors were in favour of a closed inquiry" (into allegations made about shire engineer' Tony Rowe).

"That's not true," Cr Cresta said. He then

said Cr Hartwig had referred to "accusations" made by Cr Cresta.

Cr Hartwig: "I never said that, I used 'allegations'. Accusation is a very strong word."

Cr Cresta, reiterated that 'accusations' had been used in an article and said he would produce it. He said it was possible "the Press might have misquoted you".

Cr Cue took the floor while Cr Cresta was seeking the article. He said Cr Hartwig had said "council would not have a barrister" (for the Rowe Inquiry).

Cr Hartwig: "I beg your pardon."

Cr Cue went on to say that what was in question was whether Cr Hartwig had been issuing a personal opinion or whether he had been speaking as a member of the council.

He said it should be clarified as to how Cr Hartwig was speaking ... as shire chairman, Member for Callide or personally.

Cr Cresta took the floor and produced a copy of the Morning Bulletin which, in a part he read to the council said: "accusations made by Cr Cresta".

Cr Hartwig: "That's fair enough."

Cr Cresta: "I, like you, will have to check with my legal people over this."

Cr Hartwig next called Cr Ann Giorgi, realised she had not signed the letter, so then called on Cr Anderson.

Cr Anderson said part of the Local Government Act made it clear that it was a duty of the chairman to uphold the resolutions of the table.

"There have been occasions when resolutions at this table have been brushed aside and staternents made," he said. "That, in my opinion, is a recipe for disaster."

Cr Anderson said it was "a pity this has to 0 CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

Cooee contest for National TV programme THE World Cooeing Contest to be staged this weekend at Cooee Bay will appear on nation-wide television on Monday.

Television personalities John Crooks (best known for his Down Under show) and Di Morrissey (from the Good Morning Australia programme) will test their cooeeing power at the unusual contest.

Cooeeing starts seriously on Sunday morning but the festivities started last night (Friday) when the Cooee Caper Night was held at Yeppoon Town Hall.

To put people in the mood for Sunday's events, a procession along James Street today will stir the bushman in everyone.

It will be led by swaggie Joe Barlow carrying and original linen declaration.

Tonight (Saturday), Coast residents are

invited to have dinner with the guest celebrities at Kanangra Restaurant ... but people are advised to book early The Cooee Contest starts at 9am tomorrow (Sunday) with competitors cooeeing from Wreck Point. There will be further celebrations in Daniel Park.

Capricorn Coast Tourist organisation president Brian Hooper said his members were "delighted" with the response from Channel TEN 10 Sydney, who arranged for Di Morrissey to attend at the organisation's request.

He said he phoned TEN 10 on Monday when TCN 9 in Sydney said weather man Brian Bury would not be able to visit.

"They were only too happy to send Di Morrissey and RTQ 7 will film her, and

Sunday's events," he said.

Mr Hooper said TAA was paying half the cost of tickets for Di and her husband and the Cooee Bay-Lammermoor Progress Association and CCTO were sharing the other half.

While they are on the Coast they will be staying at Como Units and will be looked after by CCTO members.

Mr Hooper said the national television exposure on Monday would be the second this month for the Capricorn Coast, following stories appearing on the Simon Townsend Wonder World show.

He said an approach had already been made to another feature TV show. He said the CCTO hoped it would have even more success in having this show visit the Coast.

❑ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 arise" in two ways: in the full glare of publicity and so early in the life of the new council.

Cr Hartwig: "But you used the word mischievous. You haven't written any press releases yourself ... you don't recall criticising me?"

Cr Anderson replied that he had and "I take full responsibility". He said he had been replying to a question from a reporter.

Cr Hartwig asked Cr Anderson to give an example of a "mischievous" statement. Cr Anderson said: "Cr Cresta has ..." but Cr Hartwig cut him off.

"Never mind Cr Cresta, you give one ... you signed it," Cr Hartwig said.

Cr Anderson replied "that there had been a statement about the inquiry being in camera and that the view of the council had been recorded in two resolutions.

These resolutions (over the Rowe Inquiry) had called for justice for all and for justice to be seen to be done. This meant the inquiry should be open for all to see.

Cr Hartwig: "Not much for a special meeting to be called over."

Cr Barbara Wildin said "you have to have a sense of humour in this place or you'd go nuts".

"In the last council it was correct for three councillors to say whatever they liked because they were always acting in the interests of the ratepayers," she said.

"At that time, the majority of council was always wrong."

Cr Wildin said now the situation had changed and the "majority" did not want anyone to say anything against them.

She said they wanted to "look really good in the eyes of the public".

Regardless of the outcome of the debate, Cr Wildin said she "would make any statement to the media I like".

There was further debate then Cr Hartwig rose to make a statement.

He said that in his 30 years in public life "this is the first time where someone has tried to restrict freedom of speech".

Cr Hartwig then made a long statement in which he stated that attacks had been made on him in the media by councillors but he had not replied to them.

Much of his statement concerned the Yeppoon Area Citizens' Association (YACA) pamphlet circulated this week. (See separate story).

At the end of his statement, Cr Cresta moved and Cr Anderson seconded a motion that effectively said no statements could be made in the media 'on behalf of the council unless they were "authorised" by resolution of the council. In this case, the exact text of the resolution was to be given with no additional comment.

Cr Hartwig then asked Cr Cresta whether, in the life of the previous council, he had written his own column in the newspaper (Coastal Council Comment, previously carried in the Capricorn Coast Mirror and open to all Coast councillors).

When Cr Cresta replied that he had, Cr Hartwig said: "Oh, that was OK?" From this point, the split in council was plainly apparent.

Cr Wildin made a crack about statements made during the previous council and Cr Cresta said that he had "survived" from that council and increased his vote at the March election.

Cr Wildin muttered something which sounded like "you won't do it next time" and Cr Cresta asked her would she like to put a bet on it.

He described his re-election as "democracy at its best".

Cr Ron Landsberg said one of the councillors was a reporter working for the Morning Bulletin (Cr Dorey). He asked was council going to stop him from writing about council.

Cr Anderson replied that no-one was trying to limit free speech.

Cr Dorey said he had to speak "from a professional point of view". He said council could not expect the media to print exactly what council wanted.

"There will have to be some trimming," he said.

Cr Anderson: "What the Press does is for them to decide."

Cr Ted Smith said he was against the motion and it was time council forgot about the Press. The election was over and it was "two years and eight months to the next one".

He called on councillors to work in the council and to stop trying to impress electors through the Press.

"You over there (pointing to where division one and two councillors sit) have lived in the paper for the last few weeks," he said.

Cr Smith said all the statements by the chairman he had read had been correct but the councillors never stopped criticising him (Cr Hartwig).

A separate debate then started about whether Cr Giorgi was correct in her statement about Rowe Inquiry legal fees being only $600 a day.

Cr Giorgi said she was correct when she said a barrister cost only $600 a day but other councillors shouted that the barrister was backed by a large staff, which, together, cost considerably more.

"Do we forget all about that and just pay the barrister?" Cr Smith said. "You said $600 for a barrister but he didn't come on his own."

Returning to the motion, Cr Smith said: "You claimed you (other side of the table) came here to straighten out the council but you have been running to the Press from the very first day.

"Let us get the council operating."

Cr Hartwig said he was against the motion ... "Good Lord, what are we coming to?"

He then listed achievements made by him in council since the election and asked whether any councillor had thanked him.

"On Saturday, when everyone says I go to the races, I was inspecting the Army at work at Byfield on our roads. How many of you have seen what the Army has done for us?" he said.

"You conveniently forget I paid tribute to the Army for beautifying the road at no cost to council.

"Did anyone say 'thanks very much' for what I did and for the publicity I got for the shire in the paper? No!" Cr Hartwig said his ambition in life was to help people ... "and I mean that".

He condemned the motion on two counts then commented that Cr Giorgi was smiling ... "You can smile, Cr Giorgi," he said. He then told her that when she wanted help in her division he would still give it.

He said he would do the same for Cr Dorey's swimming pool project and for other councillors.

"You can pass this resolution if .you like but you won't take that right (freedom of speech) away from me," Cr Hartwig said.

Cr Cue said this was not the point ... the motion called on him to make the media understand whether 'he was speaking as chairman or as himself or on behalf of council.

"If you are speaking as MLA or as chairman, say what you like, but if you are talking about a resolution, stick to the resolution," Cr Cue said.

The debate continued in a heated manner with Crs Key Hinz, Smith, Ellen Cogill, Wildin, Hartwig, and Anderson speaking.

The debate came to a halt when Cr Wildin said: "Mr Chairman, are we going to bring down this budget, mate?"

The motion was then read, voted on, and defeated, with only the mover and seconder voting for it.

YACA newsletter under fire in shire council debate THE latest YACA newsletter, distributed on the Coast over the weekend and this week, came under fire at the Livingstone Shire Council meeting on Tuesday.

Shire chairman Cr Lindsay Hartwig, MLA, said if the ratepayers' association wanted the facts it could speak to him or to shire clerk Bill Cass before writing its articles.

He said one part of the newsletter, referring to the amount of $25,000 allocated toward council's costs in the Rowe Inquiry, had been put in the hands of his solicitors.

"I'm not going to stand by and let people write things like that about me," he told council.

He said the figure of $25,000 had not been "pulled out of a hat" and that YACA could have checked that with him.

YACA president Kate Walls was in the gallery when he made these remarks and he addressed them to her.

About 30 minutes later, during debate on a motion to have only "authorised" statements made to the media, Cr Hartwig again attacked the newsletter.

Referring to a section which said director of Local Government in Queensland Harold Jacobs had addressed council about the engineer's suspension "and asked it to reverse its decision", Cr Hartwig said Mr Jacobs had "suggested you could rescind the motion if need be".

"He would not tell you," he said.

Referring to another part, Cr Hartwig asked Cr Anderson whether he had told YACA what had actually happened at the meeting on July 2.

The newsletter states: "On 2 July, 1985, the LSC meeting ended angrily when Shire Chairman Lindsay Hartwig prematurely closed the meeting, despite unfinished business before the Chair. He later purported to reopen the meeting to transact further business which included 'resolutions' to obtain independent legal representation for LSC at the inquiry and to publish a press release advising the public that anyone wishing to make written submissions and give evidence to the Committee of Inquiry could do so."

Speaking to Cr Anderson about this section, Cr Hartwig said: "Cr Anderson, you are familiar with YACA?" When Cr Anderson started to reply that he was

❑ ABOVE: Shire chairman Cr Lindsay Hartwig, MLA, presents a book and certificate to 12-year-old Margaret Read for her competition win.

Big day for girl from St Ursula's ST URSULA'S grade 8 pupil Margaret Read had a big day recently when she was presented with a certificate from the Premier, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen, by shire chairman Cr Lindsay Hartwig, MLA. The certificate was awarded to her for a pamphlet she designed in conjunction with Queensland Day. Class members worked on designing the pamphlets and Margaret's was submitted by the school.

Cr Hartwig met Margaret at the council chamber, took her to his office and presented her with the certificate and a large book called This is Queensland.

Inside, he had written an inscription which congratulated her on winning the regional competition.

"I also wish, on behalf of the Livingstone Shire Council, to add 'Well Done' Margaret!" he wrote to close the inscription.

Margaret said - she would cherish the certificate and the book.

"pretty familiar" and had been president, Cr Hartwig asked him whether it was fact that Cr Anderson had come into his office and asked him to reopen the meeting.

Cr Hartwig called on Crs Hinchliffe and Hinz, who he said had been present at the time, to verify this. Each said "Yes".

Cr Hartwig said: "Why didn't you tell YACA?" Cr Anderson replied that the YACA executive had been told.

Cr Hartwig went on to say it was Cr Anderson who had brought him back to the meeting. Including Mrs Walls in his remarks (she was still in the gallery) Cr Hartwig said it had been claimed that he had opposed legal opinion.

He said pressure had been put on him to provide legal advice for an "indefinite period at an indefinite cost".

He said if a chairman gave a legal firm an "open cheque" he deserved a "kick in the rear" and should be sent home.

"There's no way I would have authorised a barrister without a majority of councillors present," he said.

"I said in the Mirror that this inquiry would cost tens of thousands of dollars and I ask any of you to stand up and contradict that.

"But it's the truth that hurts. There's nothing incorrect about that."

Talking about the inquiry being held in. camera, Cr Hartwig said: "Who set the terms of reference? Was it Cr Hartwig? No, it was not!" He said Judge Gibney had said let it be held in camera.

"If telling the people the truth is mischievous, then I'll be doing it again," Cr Hartwig said.

He said later in the debate that Cabinet had said it was going to conduct the inquiry and it would be at no cost to council ... "I repeat, at no cost to council".

"At that stage, there was no cost to council. Since then, I have made media statements that the inquiry will cost tens of thousands of dollars ... and that's true."

He said he was going to see to it that every witness was called to the inquiry and that council would see it through to the finish.

Cr Hartwig said the "hue and cry" for the inquiry was moved by seven councillors.

"I didn't know it was coming. I don't know who else knew. I didn't," he said.

He described the motion to suspend shire engineer Tony Rowe as a "pretty big action" and he would have thought the movers would have told the shire clerk or himself about it.

"But it was OK to be secretive about that, but now they want it in the open," Cr Hartwig said.

Refreshments will be on sale and admission is $1 adults, 50 cents children and $2 for families. All proceeds go to the missions. o o o AN almost forgotten piece of Emu Park's folk history has been revived with the historical museum's current exhibition of King O'Malley memorabilia.

An American by birth, O'Malley was one of Australia's most controversial political figures.

"O'Malley sailed from California for Rockhampton in the 1880s hoping that the different climate would cure his tuberculosis," Emu Park historian Tom Smithwick said.

"It is believed he landed at Port Alma, was taken by fishermen to Emu Park and for two years was nursed back to health by an Aborigine, Coowonga."

O'Malley moved to South Australia and Tasmania and was elected to the first Commonwealth Parliament. He served two terms as Minister for Home Affairs, under Prime Minister ,Fisher 1910 - 1913 and Prime Minister Hughes 1915 - 1916.

He is reported to have been the first politican to recognise the need for a commonwealth bank and a transcontinental rail link with Western Australia. O'Malley is credited with the establishment of London's Australia House and Hansard records his recommendation to buy 585 square miles of New South Wales country for the federal capital.

King O'Malley's abrasive temperament involved him in many quarrels and his bickerings and rivalries with Andrew Fisher and Billy Hughes were well publicised. In his book `Ratbags', author Keith Dunstan said O'Malley's language was "like old-fashioned Christmas cake, it was so loaded".

He was defeated in the 1917 elections, but lived on in Victoria until his death at 99 years in 1953.

Emu Park Historical Museum was established in 1984 in the old Yeppoon Court House which was moved to his present site at Hill Street, Emu Park.

The museum committee's aims are to house and display objects and documents relating to Queensland's heritage and to interest the community in the preservation of local folk-history in general.

The museum is staffed by volunteers and is open daily to the public. A Tourist Information Centre is also operated in conjunction with the museum. o o o THE Paint-Pot-Gallery is featuring a selection of work by local leadlight artist Robyn Schutze for two weeks. The display includes lampshades, chimes and mobile.

The gallery is open seven days a week from 9.30am to 4.30pm. All exhibits — pottery, leatherwork, jewellery, paintings and china painting — are for sale. o o 0 THE School of Arts committee of Cawarral is holding the annual Springtime Fair on October 12.

That seems a bit far away yet, but the organisers are calling for help and donations.

The project for this lot of fundraising to put a new roof on the hall which will soon be 100 years old. It has been the place for lots of parties, fun and memories for many people in the area and the organisers hope everyone will remember and lend a hand.

CAPRICORN Coast Historical Society meeting is on Monday, August 12, 7.30pm in the town hall's meeting room. It is a 'book' meeting. o o o ON Tuesday, August 27, Capricorn Coast Scope is hosting 'Queensland Fashion with Flair' with all proceeds going to Yeppoon Blue Nursing Service.

Breaking strain for 'day care' CAPRICORN Coast Family Day Care coordinator Ross Munroe said this week the service was at breaking strain ... he would like more people to care for children or an alternative may have to be found.

Family day care is a service where babies and children are cared for in small groups in the homes of selected "care-givers".

It was started on the Coast three years ago under sponsorship of the Capricornia Institute of Advanced Education when the Children's Services Department and Community Health asked that it be extended to the Coast.

(The service is also available in Rockhampton and Mt Morgan.)

The day care is funded by the Federal Government and all children are eligible.

Mr Munroe said the service was especially suitable where people want their children looked after while they go shopping for a few hours, work night shifts, or at weekends.

"But now, we're getting three or four requests a week we can't handle ... perhaps it's time for another solution," he said.

"We would like to hear from more caregivers, but we need a centre that would cater for respite care, day care for children five days a week, and the occasional few hours a week minding.

"The kindergarten and pre-schools are booked solid and we need something else."

Mr Munroe sai if Coast people were interested in lobbying for a local centre they could contact him on 27 9577.

AN airport terminal was the stage setting for Emu Park Pensioner League's July social.

'The Entertainers', dressed for travel, set off singing 'Sentimental Journey'. They sang their way round the world, but 'Home, Sweet, Home' was the end.

Wyn Nelson was the pianist and conductress and with Stan Nelson and his helpers for props, decorations and stage direction, the sentimental journey theme was successful.

Mrs Hamilton, Elsie Anderson, Pearl Curry, Stan Nelson and Laurie Wenck were wished 'many happy returns'.

Alf Marcombe sang two songs and the other soloists were: Evelyn Stickley, Bill Cole, Linda Leach, Stan Nelson, Dot Close and Mrs Hall. Joan Howe and Bill Cole sang duets. Peal Curry sang and tap-danced her way to the audience's delight and versatile Les Wessels (a drummer) later played an item on the piano. George Bardrick surprised everyone with a skit, 'Angel', as did Stan Nelson and Ella Lewis with 'Dave and Mabel'.

Another delight was the Crazy Billabong Bush Band in Spanish dress and toe-tapping tunes.

George Bardrick and Joan Burns won the monte carlo; the lucky door went to Bill Cole of Mt Morgan; Tom Smithwick won first prize in the raffle; Kinka Beach's Mrs Evans won second; L McIntyre of Yeppoon took home third. The special raffle was won by M and L Wessels of Rockhampton. (a rug donated by Mrs Coulter) and R Graham of Emu Park came second (a handbag donated

by Mrs Bacon).

The next social is on August 28.

O o ❑ YEPPOON Camera Club's guest speaker for the meeting to be held on August 12 at 8pm in the RSL rooms is Mr A de Veto, lecturer in photography at the C1AE.

Emu Park meet for meal service A MEETING will be held at Emu Park on Wednesday night to re-form a mealsonwheels service for the area.

Emu Park State School principal Dennis Wex said the meeting would start at 7.30pm.

It would be held in the school library.

Mr Wex said he was hoping for input from Emu Park groups and organisations and especially individuals interested in seeing meals-on-wheels begin serving meals.

But before enthusiasm runs high, Mr Wex said he wants to know of at least a dozen people who need the service.

"I would like names of people who genuinely need the meals-on-wheels service," he said.

He said the service could provide meals for people in the Emu Park and Zilzie areas and possibly Kinka Beach.

"1 have about eight names now, but more are needed to ensure the service is a necessity," Mr Wex said.

There is enthusiasm for the service ... former deputy chairman Dick Tennent called a meeting recently but died just days later. The meeting was called off, although some people did turn up and held informal discussions.

Mr Wex said people who qualified to receive meals-on wheels would be the homebound, those dependent on themselves, the aged, infirm ... people who now have the Blue Nurses call.

Mr Tennent was president of the mealsonwheels committee and Mr Wex, as vice president, said committee members wanted to follow-up on the meeting which was to have been held recently.

Anyone can attend the meeting on Wednesday night ... especially people prepared to offer their services as drivers and helpers.

Marlborough school children will provide some of the entertainment. o o o DO you like to dance? The QATB and Yeppoon Rotary are giving you the chance ... a ball on Friday, October 18 in Yeppoon Town Hall. Kevin Doyle and his orchestra will provide music to cater for all tastes.

Sunday, September 1, also happens to be Father's Day, so give Dad and treat and take him along. Perhaps he won't be in the mood for the Fun Run (4.5km), but he could strike it lucky at the livestock auction... steers, goats and poultry odds and ends.

Maybe he could lay back and watch the children's street theatre while eating something from one of the food stalls.

Another to take his interest is vintage cars.

The Rockhampton Vintage Car Club will end its rally at the Fair. He probably won't feel like playing with the earth ball or parachute, but the kids will. Crafts will be on display from local artists. So, it should be a good day from 11am, when the Spring Fair starts.

Normanby Street, Yeppoon (next to Supersize)

A MAN who used to holiday in Yeppoon 70 years ago returned last week to look up old friends and because he "likes the place".

Gordon Lilley lived in Rockhampton between 1910 and 1923 and holidayed in Yeppoon.

Mr Lilley, who is 80-years-old in September, lives in Toowoomba where he retired after a life of working on the land in the West.

He also lived in Yeppoon for a few years from 1971 and was founding secretary of the Capricorn Coast Promotion Council.

Mr Lilley said when he returned to see real estate agent Pat Andersen this week, she looked at him and said "Oh, the things you see when you haven't got a rifle in your hand," and then gave him a hug.

Mr Lilley was four when he was first in Yeppoon and can remember what the town used to look like.

"We used to stay at Tooker's boarding house where the Strand Hotel is now and later had a house around the Bluff. We'd spend all day in and out of the water and were as brown as dickens.

"Ladies and men on the main beach were practically segregated, because the women had their bathing shed just this side of the BLuff and the men's shed was halfway to Ross Creek ... and it was full neck-to-knee costumes then, too.

"The first store, I think, was run by Louis Dowe, about where Yeppoon Tackle and Sports is now, before he retired to have a banana plantation on the hill above the post office.

"I remember when Dr Beaman came to the Coast and set up practice. Yeppoon didn't have a hospital then and the hospital site was just a convalescent home," he said.

Mr Lilley said fishing wasn't something that was talked about, but "people used to do a lot of oystering". Yeppoon residents used to go to North Keppel Island and people from Emu Park travelled to Great Keppel, or South Keppel as it was then known.

"Sometimes people didn't shell the oysters when they were at the islands and some backyards in Yeppoon were several feet high in shells," he said.

And he recalls a shark attack that was big

news ... "There was only one shark attack that I knew of, when the shark took a man's arm off in 1918, It was caught later and shown in the Myola Hall; you could see it for sixpence."

Memories rolled on ...

"Where the memorial at the end of Beaman Park is now, there used to be a spring and a pump, and later a windmill and holding tank," Mr Lilley said.

"One of the Ross family used to cart the water and sell it to businesses. A Ross also used to run the first taxi service here with a motor-buggy.

"The train would arrive at the Railways at seven o'clock every night and his taxi would collect passengers. People used to also go to the three pubs then ... the Pacific, Club and Railway Hotels."

Mr Lilley remembers the first post office ... a house on the site of the present post office run by Mrs McDonald and her daughters.

He said the first police station used to be about where the present one is and the policeman for many years was Sergeant O'Toole.

In the same street, there used to be a school of arts building, where the present town hall is situated.

For entertainment, there were three picture theatres in town.

"The first open-air theatre was where the Pacific Hotel is now, and there was also the Roxy and the Regent.

"Where Higgins Pharmacy is now, used to be a big sandhill and there were pandanus trees around there.

"Myola Hall was where the Westpac Bank is now, and dances, and, I think, skating was held there."

To get to Yeppoon, Mr Lilley, his parents, three brothers and two sisters used to travel on the train going to Emu Park and get off at Tanby.

From there they'd take a horsedrawn carriage to Yeppoon.

After talking for a while, he said he could remember going to Emu Park and walking down slats of wood to the beach. He said he must have been younger than four-years-old.

"I've come back here,, and have been talking to so many people older than 90 that I think Yeppoon must be a health resort."

10 Thcapricorn Cost Mirror August 10 — August 16, 1985

Cr Giorgi hits back at critic...

I CAN hardly be bothered to dignify Lew Fitchen with a reply to his hysterical and hard-to-understand letter in last week's Mirror.

He's obviously a Rowe-crony as Well as a Webber fan.

I refer him to my letter in reply to Lloyd Webber's (Morning Bulletin, Monday, July 29). It is obvious that Mr Fitchen has read this letter, as he quotes my words re Mr Webber's letter: `Do I detect sour grapes and mud-raking?'.

I stood fair and square on getting rid of the engineering department. This came out in print in my answers to the questionnaire put out by the Mirror.

Check back to the Mirror of March 23.29, page 8. In response to the question: 'If you are going to decrease the indebtedness, how are you going to perform the necessary works that have to be undertaken by council?'. I replied: 'Get rid of the engineering department and sub-contract. Maintenance works to be done by people resident in the relevant areas (to eliminate travel time) - any supervision can be done by complaints from the locals if the work is not done'.

Later on I also said that I would: 'watch the council officers like a hawk'.

I was very much the last horse in the field, coming from Keppel Sands, yet I managed to beat both the late deputy chairman, Dick Tennent, and also Mr Webber, both by comfortable margins.

Does this say something to you about how the majority of ratepayers feel, Mr Fitchen, or perhaps, like your buddies, you don't respect majorities.

Before I finish venting my spleen, let me say that I agree with both Mr Waite and Mr Scope that we must avoid unplanned high rise. As I said in a council meeting we Have been lucky to have been left behind thus can avoid the mistakes of others. There are certain areas on the Coast ideal for high rise that won't affect other people - let's make sure it's well-planned.

— Cr Ann Giorgi, Keppel Sands.

...Walls replies I WOULD like to apologise to Lew Fitchen for a certain sloppiness in claiming that 100 per cent of ratepayers supported the actions of the seven councillors, who are attempting to make council staff accountable for their actions.

Mirror mail Mirror Mail letters should be addressed to PO Box 769, Yeppoon, 4703. Preference will be given to typed letters. Name of writer, address and phone number (if available) must be included. All letters must be signed. Letters may be cut.

What I intended to say was: "that those councillors have the support of 100 per cent of thinking and concerned ratepayers".

— Katie Walls, YACA president.

Writer against high-rise plan AS one of the residents who will be affected by the proposed high rise development in Todd Avenue, I am wondering if your could express my concern to same as I see both the Livingstone Shire and the developers have expressed their views in your newspaper.

Residents on both sides of the proposed development have objected to the council along with support from other residents in the area who voiced their opinion in a petition to the council.

We feel the area is in no way adequate to host such a complex and feel we will be exposed to traffic and parking problems, noise and lack of privacy and will add to the water problems the street already experiences.

This area is one of the few in Yeppoon which has direct access to the beach. Once one developer wins his case to change part of the area from Residential B to Residential D, it will give other developers a precedent for further changes.

Most of the residents choose to live here because it is peaceful and we feel the quality of life we currently enjoy will in no way be enhanced by any such high rise development.

Surely there are other areas in Yeppoon already zoned Residential D where such a building could be accommodated.

— (Mrs) E Richards, 49 Todd Auenue, Yeppoon.

`Sleeping Giant' needs manpower AUSTRALIA'S 'sleeping giant,' the small business community, had a fight on its hands and needs more manpower.

Capricorn Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry president John Peach said this in his annual report on Tuesday night.

"Now is the time to arise and be counted if the family business and private enterprise that have built Australia are to survive as a viable alternative and partner to big business, the public service or the dole," he told the annual meeting at the Railway Hotel.

"Now is the time for all small business owners to find that extra time and energy to combine their support for their way of life by being members of their chambers of commerce.

"I cannot over-emphasise the importance of this urgent request," he said.

Mr Peach described chambers of commerce throughout Australia as the local grass roots of the small business community.

The small business community provided more than half of Australia's employment.

He said there were increasing pressures on small business ... a crisis point was approaching that must not be ignored because it "will not just go away".

Problems to be' faced included the complexities of society today and the threat of further Commonwealth measures that would make private enterprise and endeavour even less attractive or rewarding.

"Almost the same threats have arisen for small business as those which hvae nationally aroused the usually conservative and self-reliant rural sector," he said.

On local issues, Mr Peach said that 198485, economically, had been a difficult

year for most small business.

"I sincerely thank those members of the public who have supported our local business economy and hope their numbers will increase," he said.

"We have yet to hit the 'big time' as a tourist area but undoubtably this is not far off. Herein lies most of the potential for expansion of commerce in this area.

Through our two delegates on the CTDO, our social membership of the CCTO, our members on Livingstone Shire Council and our own endeavour, we have, and will continue to actively support and promote the tourist industry and all other industries in this area to provide security and employment on the Coast."

Among achievements over the past year, Mr Peach mentioned the inauguaral Yeppoon Trade Fair (to be held again this year from October 11 to 13); Sunmap posters due to arrive soon; the long battle won for a light industrial estate; the commissioning of a local statistical study through the CIAE, data from which will be incorporated in Local Business Directory and Promotional Booklet soon to be available from the chamber.

Mr Peach said the chamber's campaign to improve the main street was gradually bearing fruit but much still had to be done.

The chamber has initiated a Youth Training and Employment Scheme which is due to start soon.

Mr Peach was re-elected president; Pat Andersen and Bob Leicht are vice presidents; Connie Noyes is secretary and Howard Rodda treasurer.

LSC looks at 8pc rate rise RATEPAYERS could face an eight per cent general rate rise this financial year, according to Livingstone Shire Council's accountant Frank McDevitt.

He recommended to this week's prebudget meeting that there would need to be an eight per cent average rise throughout the shire, because just about every area went up in value.

Shire valuations have increased 306 per cent on last year, according to finance and administration committee chairman Cr Jim Anderson. He said it brought the total urban valuation to $125,800,100 and the total rural . value to $84,917,350.

Urban ratepayers may be paying 1.4¢ in the dollar of their valuation, rural occupied home sites may pay 44¢ in the dollar, and the balance of the area may pay .94¢ in the dollar.

The recommended minimum rate is $150 — a rise of $18 over last year.

Water charges may also rise. On the Coast, the cost could be $74.40; Marlborough $111.60; The Caves $57.70.

Sewerage charges could remain the same at $119.52 per household but garbage is likely to go up from $72.50 to $73.84.

Road levies are recommended as .87¢ for area A (divisions 1 and 2); 1.83¢ for area B (division 3) and 1.64¢ for area C (division 4).

Cr Ann Giorgi proposed a new rate scheme because she said the new valuations had made some property values go up and some go down.

She proposed a flat urban rate of 1.58¢ in the dollar and 1.57¢ for the rural rate.

"This gets rid of road levies," she said. Council will finalise the budget at a meeting on Tuesday, August 20.

CTDO trio to explain the `139 THREE Capricorn Tourism and Development Organisation executive members will explain the "D" in the CTDO's name at a gathering to be held at the Strand Hotel on Monday night.

CTDO secretary/manager Ron Cockell, Tourism Committee chairman Ralph Warner and Development Committee chairman Tony Wadeson will give addresses and answer questions from 7.30pm.

The "D" (development) has been the least understood part of the the CTDO, according to Coast CTDO member Hubert Murray.

He said the week he had asked the three executive members to visit the Coast so that anyone interested in the organisation could. have any queries answered.

He said the meeting had been called because of public interest.

Mr Murray said tourism was the numberone industry on the Capricorn Coast ... "but let's not forget the importance of development".

"It's the development that looks after the comfort and facilities that Coast visitors ' require and deserve," he said.

Mr Murray said everyone attending the meeting would be told about the CTDO's efforts to promote development within the Capricorn region.

"The development part is least understood because it is overshadowed, usually by tourism," he said.

"There is a lot of glamour associated with the word tourism because it conjures up images of waving palms, yachts on blue water and thousands of people having fun.

"Development is less attractive ... but it's the 'development' that cuts the grass around the waving palms so you can see them, provides the marina for the yachts and thousands of motel rooms and accommodation units for the visitors."

SPRING CLEAN SIX HUNDRED Yeppoon State High School pupils will "Spring Clean" Coas't beaches and alongside roads on Wednesday.

This is a once-only service that ratepayers would be hard-pressed to finance. Pupils are collecting donations from the public to reward them for their efforts. They have also been offered incentive prizes by some businesses.

The pupils suggested this public service as part of their International Year of Youth activities.

95 attend YIBC patron's day YEPPOON Indoor Bowling Club patron Jc Seeman was pleased when 95 indoor bowlerg-turned out on Sunday to pay honour to him on YIBC patron's day.

Among the visitors who joined members in the five-game day were 17 players from Emu Park and 17 from Rockhampton and all participants were appreciative of the barbecue luncheon which was provided in the charge for the day — $2.

President Bernie Robson congratulated the selectors.

After five games of 12 ends, the margin between the winning team and the team scoring the least points was 19.

Winners, with 46 points, were Ken Crockett (Yeppoon), Daphne Smith (Victoria), • Bill Anderson (Rockhampton), Mery Eggerling (Yeppoon) and Mavis Brown of Emu Park.

Two teams tied for the runners-up position on 40 points and after a countback the combination of Ruth Irons (Yeppoon), Bill Smith (Victoria), Glennie Jordan, Vi Robson (Yeppoon), Syd Wills (Emu Park) and Olga James of Yeppoon, got the nod with an aggregate of 56.

One down on aggregate, 55, were Flo Collins (Yeppoon), Doug Price (Rockhampton), Bob Kearney, John Shepherd, Evelyn Seeman and Joe Seeman of Yeppoon.

The lowest score trophies went to the combination of Ivy Hamilton (Rockhampton), Ann Brown (Yeppoon), M Cooper (Rockhampton), Tom Poole, Freda Hancoc'(Yeppoon) and Dot Bianchi of Rockhamptc with 27 points.

Victorian visitors Daphne and Bill Smith were first and second prize winners and Gwen Gore of Adelaide won second prize in the raffle.

Patron Joe Seeman, assisted by wife Evelyn, presented the trophies to the winners.

Molly Thomas of Rockhampton won the raffle, second went to Gwen Gore of Adelaide third to Yeppoon's Mery Eggerling and fourth to Frank Howard, also of Yeppoon.

Rockhampton's Fred Sale held the lucky door number.

YIBC will visit mackay on the weekend of August 31 to September 2 for social play with members of the Mackay Indoor Bowls Association and YIBC who wish to make the trip are asked to place their names in the book as soon as possible.

Mackay indoor bowls members are visiting Rockhampton's Frenchville Indoor Bowls Club this weekend and 13 YIBC players will join with Frenchville today,- Saturday, and again tomorrow in social play with the visitors.

Next Tuesday night, August 13, YIBC will go to Rockhampton to play in the Association centre against players from Park Avenue.

St James 'quiet' ST JAMES Indoor Bowling Club has had a quiet time for a fortnight.

The next important game is vice president's night on August 12, for Eva Gardner and Ossie Lilley.

Some St James members will play Singing Ship members on August 24 at Emu Park. Any members who wish to play are asked to put their names on the notice board so that transport can be arranged.

Singing Ship will visit Keppel Sands club August 17 for those clubs first game in the Lindsay Hartwig Shield for 1985.

Apart from the Hartwig Shield games, .Singing Ship, Keppel Sands and Mt Morgan indoor bowls clubs are involved in the Bert Moss Memorial Shield competition. This is for two teams of six players and is played on a home and home basis.

"At the moment two games have been played when Emu Park defeated Keppel Sands by two points and Mt Morgan got the same result by defeating Keppel Sands by two points," St James Indoor Bowls Club publicity officer Norm Gardner said.

"This means that these clubs are even in strength and some very close games could result.

"The games go on the aggregate score and Keppel Sands, although losing two games, only needs to have a good win and they could be on top," Mr Gardner said.

The scores are Singing Ship 68 to 66, Mt Morgan 65 to 63 and Keppel Sands 129 from two games.

Keppel Sands playing day is Sunday from 1pm to 1.30pm and Singing Ship plays on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 1pm to 1.30pm.

BOYNE ISLAND DEFEATS BOTH SWANS TEAMS YEPPOON Aussie Rules Club's A and Reserves sides were defeated in matches at r Boyne Island on Saturday.

It was the first time the Reserves had been defeated this season and only the fourth defeat for the seniors.

From the outset of the Reserves game it was apparent that Boyne Island were desperate for a win. Their players appeared faster and certainly used the ball better.

By quarter-time they had six goals on the board whereas Yeppoon had failed to score.

In a second quarter, a desperate Yeppoon side began the difficult task of pegging back Boyne Island's big lead. The Yeppoon players started to get their teamwork going and with desperate defiance managed to keep the opposition goal-less while kicking two goals

themselves. The home side had a 30-point lead at half-time.

The Swans outscored Boyne Island in the second half but the six goals were not enough.

The hoMe side ran out winners by 25 points.

Goalkickers: Peter Adsett, Shane Tickner, 2; Peter Bertalli, Martin Peach, Tim McGrath and Ross Sully, 1.

Best players: Gary Hawke, Gary Kemp, Rick Williams, Steve Clee and Martin Peach.

The A grade match was more closely contested with only small margins separating the teams at each break. However, every time Yeppoon looked like breaking away, Boyne Island were able to pull something out of reserve and bounce back.

The final score was Boyne Island 14.13 97 to Yeppoon 12.7 79.

DAD!

Goalkickers: Phil Munro, 5; Steve Pickering, 3; Andrew Tickner, Jay Blake, Graeme Campbell and Gary Kemp, 1.

SEMI-FINAL FEVER STIRRING SEAGULLS' SIDES (awe Hifi twain gal bob Hansen, Tony Orgill and Todd Sleeman took play into the Greens' quarter, where Gil Dyett went over for Seagulls first points.

Gary Horstman was next to score. John Pidgeon converted and Yeppoon led 10-6. The Seagulls .played attacking football and before the break Bob Hansen dived over from dummyhalf, giving Yeppoon a lead of 16-6.

Fitzroys' defence tightened in the second half but Yeppoon scored another try in the 50th minute after Hansen, Tony Orgill, Alan Moylan and James O'Hanlon handled, to put Horstman over for his second try. In the 62nd minute John Pidgeon landed a penalty to make the final score 22-6 in Seagulls favour. Gil Dyett was selected as man of the match.

A grade played Fitzroys on Sunday and ran out winners 28-2.

"One of the game's highlights was the defence by Yeppoon's second-row forwards, Geoff Schweikert and Ray Sherriff," Mr Alley said.

The Greens only points came in the fourth minute after referee Ward penalised Yeppoon and Marshall Leisha kicked a penalty goal.

Fitzroys led 2-0.

Yeppoon came back in the 12th minute when Seagulls attacked inside Fitzroys' quarter.

Fiveeighths Bill Nosworthy kicked over the heads of Greens' defence, regathered and

SEMI-FINAL fever is stirring Yeppoon Rugby League Players and supporters, with the three Coast teams sure of places in the semifinals.

Reserve grade leads in its division by one point from Brothers and Railways; A grade is equal second with Railways from Brothers; under-19 is fourth.

There are four teams in the under-19 division, but Yeppoon has shown it is capable of upsetting the opposition.

"With players coming back from injuries at the right time, the team appears to be a force to be reckoned with," Yeppoon Rugby League spokesman Noel Alley said.

On Friday night the under-19 Seagulls played competition leaders Norths. Yeppoon was defeated 20-12 after leading 12-4 at half time.

Norths got off the hook after scoring an early try after the break and the Seagulls never recovered.

There were some strong performances from Bruce Campbell, Craig Witt, Kane and Kelly McGuire, Adrian White, Tony Stafford, Darryl Gough and Stephen Callaghan.

Reserve grade also played on Friday night and defeated Fit zroys 22-6.

Fitzroys put first points on the board in the third minute and went to the lead, 6-0. Yeppoon came back with a try in the 20th minute after

passed the ball to Shane Weir on the fly for him to go in for a try under the posts. John Jenkins converted.

Les Gerke was next to score, after Jenkins dummied and stepped through the defence.

Just before half-time Nosworthy passed to Sherriff, who sent on to Mick Herman, to send Graeme Orr in for his first try. That gave Yeppoon a lead of 16-2.

Sherriff charged over for Seagulls next try.

Yeppoon players showed their superiority and Orr dashed over for another try after some lead-up work by Jenkins and Mick Herman.

Yeppoon's final try was in the 70th minute after Herman and Hansen sent Orr down the sideline to be tackled close to the goal line.

From the play-the-ball Jenkins scored a welldeserved try to make the final score 28-2 and another win for Yeppoon.

Ray Sherriff was awarded man of the match, closely supported by John Jenkins who won a trip to Great Keppel Island, and Geoff Schweikert won the president's shirt. The double for the day was four and six.

Next contest for the A grade team is tomorrow, Sunday, when Yeppoon plays Railways in the match of the day in the fourth day of the Fosters round at Browne Park.

Railways are equal second on the A grade competition table.

A rare display...

C AND D grade fixture players were treated to a rare display of poor squash by two players who rarely make mistakes on Thursday night at the Capricorn Coast Squash Centre.

Father and son combination, John and Chris Briggs, were the players in the charade, under the watchful eye of super coach Ron Kerr.

"They demonstrated to a tentative, and sometimes aghast, audience, the most common breeches of squash rules and the duties of referees," Capricorn Coast Squash Rackets Club publicity officer Jim McDonald said.

"Many, with a new outlook on squash and even more, with new copies of the squash rules brochure adjourned to play fixtures for the night."

THE Yeppoon Bowls Club fours final was a close game with first-class bowls being played by all eight contestants.

Peter Brown played well as Doug Haigh's lead and opposition Harold Crooks played his usual tight game to hold Brown.

Bill Bond , Harry Maher's second, seemed to best Frank Birkett early, but Birkett had the better of it in the latter half.

Both thirds, Stan Brooke and Frank O'Brien handled the green with the honours finishing pretty even.

Harry Maher played a lot of saving draw shots to keep his team in touch while Doug Haigh played his usual, consistent game.

Maher led 9-4 on the seventh and this was the biggest difference in the score during the game.

The scores were 11 all on the 11th and 17 all on the 19th. Maher needed four on the last end and held one shot, which he could not improve on, to go down 21-24.

The Bill Richards Memorial Afternoon of Bowls made Sunday an enjoyable social day. It was a rugged start because of late nominations and scratchings but the end result made the effort worthwhile.

Effie Richards presented the trophies to winners Noreen Garner, Len Beirwirth, Lil Balchin and Bill Fotheringham. Runners up were Eva Gardner, Stan Carne, Lal McMaster and Frank Birkett.

The hidden number went to Thel Bond, Ruby Lock, Leila Meares and Harry Maher. Spiders were won by Mary Headrick and Keith Gustafson; raffles to Eva Gardner and Jean Alexander.

In addition, the club celebrated the coming birthday of Margaret (Gerry) Girard. She is a life member of the Ladies' Club and still serves on committee as providor.

She is a hard worker for the club and many half her age envy the energy she displays.

Yeppoon's Harrup Shield team lost out in the semi-final but only by the narrowest of margins.

They had a bye in the first round and then had to play Welfare.

Roy Graff won his singles 31-13, the pairs Don Goody and Eric Austin went down 17-14.

The fours, Geoff Lambert, Bob Bird, Bill Roberts and Clarrie Hinton, scored a win 28-24.

HUSBAND and wife are sharing five minutes together over lunch at Yeppoon Beach ... seagulls gather round and the couple remain silent, enjoying the beauty of the moment. They munch away on their lunch, slurp on their softdrinks and just enjoy each other's company ... the way married couple do when they've reached that stage in life when they feel comfortable together. Husband likes seagulls, wife can take them or leave them ... but she's prepared to throw them the odd crumb. Anyway, there the couple sit, quietly, until husband breaks silence with following remark: "Look at that group of seagulls ... they all look the same." Wife looks at seagulls and replies: "Don't you think they look silly without arms? Chooks look silly without arms, too!" Husband nearly chokes on custard slice, throws rest of it to seagulls and would have fed them wife as well ... if they'd had arms to pick her up!!! Still, they walked off hand-in-hand ...

In the semi, they played North Rockhampton: Roy Graff did well against a more experienced Rod Jensen, losing 31-27.

The pairs had their second loss 18-19 and the fours finished on top 23-22.

In conjunction with the Rotary and Lions Club, Yeppoon Bowls Club is staging a charity afternoon of bowls to, raise funds for the mealson-wheels. The day is not restricted to members of these clubs and everyone is invited to play or help swell the fund-raising. Some have nominated but there are plenty of vacancies.

A Yeppoon club member, with a good Scotch name who has already had a book published, is considering "The Toilet Bowl" as the title for a second edition. It appears he dropped a bowl which finished in the pedestal, demolishing it. Plumber Keith had to come to the rescue.

Swans to meet St Brendan's in Rules final IT WILL be an all Coast final when Yeppoon under 13s meet St Brendan's in the Rockhampton Junior Australian Rules final to be played at Stenlake Park tomorrow, Sunday.

"St Brendan's has been the only team to put any pressure on the Swans," Yeppoon Aussie Rules spokesman Ann Thompson said.

"Yeppoon has bitter memories of last year's grand final against Parkhurst and will be out to prove themselves."

The under-15 team will play Parkhurst and hope to make it two grand finals in a row.

Under-17 will play Parkhurst in what organisers expect to be a top match.

"These two teams are evenly matched and should produce first-class football. It will be the match of the day," Mrs Thompson said.

All games will be at Stenlake Park.

Junior Swans will end the season with presentation night at Yeppoon Town Hall on Friday, August 16 at 7.30pm.

Capricorn Coast Squash Centre — 39 2444 for bookings

DURING the debate on Tuesday on whether only "authorised" statements could be made to the media, the atmosphere inside the Livingstone Shire Council chambers became rather heated ... the debate went on and on, there were shouts from one side of the round council table to the other then Cr Ted Smith rose and made an observation: "It's no wonder the architect who designed this place put in a round table ... we spend our time going round in circles."

COAST man phoned Southern relative the other night to catch up on the news.

His relative has been amicably separated from her husband for couple of years now and is working on one of those do-ityourself divorces. She said she had been prompted to do this when estranged husband, on a very rare phone call to home, said he did not see need for a divorce because "it's only a piece of paper". Her reply: "That's how you regarded the marriage certificate," did tend to put a bit of tension into the call.

Anyway, she bought the divorce kit and was doing fine until she ran into a problem.

"I couldn't find our marriage certificate.

Finally, I had to fork out $16 for a new one so I could present it to be stamped 'void'," she said. She thought it all rather silly.

SOUTHERN restaurateurs must have patience ... same relative told Coast of engagement party she went to. Seems father of the bride-to-be only (and apparently only) eats steak, pumpkin and peas. Anyway, groom-to-be is footing bill for shindig so he books everyone in at Chinese restaurant ... wife of husband who only eats steaks, pumpkin and peas, goes into shock when told of venue and makes special trip to restaurant and pleads with boss cocky to go out and order in slab of steak. After long explanation of what could happen if steak not ordered, the restaurant complies with request. The big night arrives ... the first course is served.

It's all Chinese. Second course is all Chinese. Husband who only eats steak, pumpkin and peas starts getting cranky ... wife, nervously, tip-toes out to powder her nose but makes bee-line for kitchen.

There, among the flying choppers and buckets of rice she implores chef to get a steak on the stove. But none was ordered.

Heavens, what will happen? She puts on such a turn that chef sends helper around corner to cafe to pick up a rump. Pacified, wife returns to table full of nervous guests who, knowing husband's ways, are waiting for explosion. Finally the steak arrives.

Chef brings it himself, places it carefully in front of husband and, apparently, waits for thanks. Husband looks at plate, no pumpkin, no peas, but plenty of lettuce and tomato. Husband picks up lettuce and sticks it on wife's plate, picks up tomatoes and sticks them on daughter's plate, then sticks fork into steak, holds it up to the light, looks at both sides, and drops it back onto his own plate. Chef, staggered leaves, as husband begins grunting over steak. No wonder kids grow apart from their parents!!!
