THIRD COMPLEX 'OLD HAT'...NOW THERE'S FIVE — By John Watson LAST week's news of a third shopping centre proposed for the Capricorn Coast is already out of date ... Livingstone Shire Council could soon be dealing with five applications for major shopping centres.

Three are already knann — Savemore extensions, Pacific Gateway and the new one at Poinciana Caravan Park — the fourth and fifth are still up in the air.

The fourth is believed to involve a syndicate from Western Australia and one of the principals is believed to be an Indian.

Even less is known officially of the fifth proposal ... but this fifth proposal will consist of a major tenant and about 14 specialty shops.

Among these 14 shops will be fast-food

outlets similar to Kentucky Fried Chicker and Pizza Hut. The Capricorn Coast Mirror also believes a post office will be incorporated among the tenants.

But so far, the fourth and fifth proposals have not been made public.

Will they eventuate? Who knows?

But one thing is certain, the proposals have definitely been discussed with at least one council "decision maker".

It is belived one or more councillors may have also heard of at least one of the proposals.

Apparently the proposals, which seem to have been plucked out of thin air, have been "in the works" for some months.

A rumour swept the Coast some weeks

ago that a Western Australian syndicate was looking at Yeppoon and a simultaneous rumour had a group of Indians looking at land here.

At this stage there is no official confirmation ... but the looking has been done and, it seems, the sums are being run through the calculator.

What does it mean for the Coast? Well, for one thing, the idea of a second shopping centre as little as a year ago looked like a move perhaps ahead of its time ... now, with a definite third before council and a possible fourth and even a fifth coming up, a second certainly looks viable.

Surely, if so many "prospectors" are scratching around on the Coast, they must feel there's a nugget or two to be found.

Optimism sweeping Coast

FEELING that an air of optimism is sweeping the Capricorn Coast and that "we're on the edge of an upturn," Cr Barbara Wildin has been given chamber of commerce backing to call a meeting to "thrash out the future".

In typical Capricorn Coast style, the meeting will be held under the trees, in casual dress in Cr Wildin's backyard.

No date has been fixed for the meeting but it will probably be held in March or April.

Cr Wildin asked the chamber for its support because she said it was the oldest group on the Coast and would be vitally interested in the Coast's future.

"I see things happening, hear about proposals and I know the Coast is on the edge of an upturn ... but I don't think we're ready for it," she said.

She said too many Coast groups fought publicly without getting down to the job of working out what direction the Coast should take.

Her idea is that an informal meeting should be held under the trees where everyone present can "let their hair down".

"There are things that have to be said if the Coast is going to look ahead," she said.

Chamber president John Peach agreed with her idea for the meeting. He said it should be made clear from the start that it would not be a "council-bashing exercise" and that everyone attending should regard what's done as in the past and forget it.

Brian Fuller suggested there should be an independent chairman "to stop the bickering" but it appears as if the first meeting will be held without a chairman.

Chamber members greeted Cr Wildin's idea with enthusiasm. Ideas flew thick and fast.

Some wanted every group invited to present a submission of what direction they thought the Coast should take ... others felt 0 CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Malcolm Fraser will be pleased a cricket story on page 1 FORMER Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser's often-expressed fondest wish was to see politics taken off the front page to make way for sport ... and this week the Capricorn Coast Mirror makes his dream come true.

The reason is the Sunday, February 16 cricketing clash between the St Brendan's First XI and the Capricorn Coast Businessmen's side ... a team of ru.gged players determined to show the youngsters how the game is played.

The two sides last .met in 1984 and the clash resulted in a narrow win for the St Brendan's team. The businessmen were bolstered by Queensland Sheffield Shield wicketkeeper Ray Phillips on that occasion but his prowess still could not defeat the youngsters' speed and enthusiasm.

This year the result is expected to go the Businessmen's way ... a team of selectors have looked over a crop of promising players in the Shield side but have not yet made a choice for their mascot.

One selector wants Phillips back in the Businessmen's side but another feels that if Phillips can't make the Test team there's no place for him here. • As usual, team manager Maurie Webb will have the final say (he's the only one who knows who to ring to get a Shield player) so the mystery player will remain just that — a mystery — until Maurie finds enough 20 cent pieces for the STD call.

Even though the match will be played next Sunday from 1pm at St Brendan's Oval, the Businessmen have not yet decided on the final composition of their side.

Full of confidence, they expect any Businessman (or any taxpayer will do) who reads this story and would like to pit his skills against the St Brendan's side to phone Col Hennessy at St Brendan's on 39 1132.

THE reported death of former councillor Arthur Rackemann has shocked the Coast.

Cr Rackemann died. with his granddaughter, in a collision with a semi-trailer on Wednesday morning.

Shire chairman Cr Lindsay Hartwig, MLA, said Arthur Rackemann was highly respected in the community ... "be and his whole family," he said.

His death was "very sad ... a tragic loss."

Shire clerk Bill Cass said Arthur Rackemann had been a Livingstone Shire councillor from 1967 to 1976 and from 1982 to 1985.

In between those two terms, his position as a division three councillor had been filled by his son, Donald.

"He was a good man for -his division," Mr Cass said.

DENHAMS PROTECTING A 'MAJOR INVESTMENT IN YEPPOON' DENHAM Bros Pty Ltd managing director Ron Smyth this week had no comment to make about the shopping centre proposed for Poinciana Caravan Park.

He referred queries about the centre to board chairman Tom Macaulay and said later there was not enough information on' which to comment.

Referring to the Denhams appeal against the Pacific Gateway complex to be heard on February 17, Mr Smyth said his company had had a major investment in Yeppoon for the past 28 years and fully intended protecting that investment.

"We started with a shop in James Street, built new premises to house our expanding food business (now the Commonwealth Bank), then built the original Savemore Centre," he said.

"We have already had one extension to

Savemore and now we are proposing another one that will double the centre's present size.

"Our biggest investment in retailing is in Yeppoon."

Mr Smyth said he did not see even a second shopping centre being viable, let alone a third.

"We have had surveys on shopping habits and, from the information we have, we estimate 75 per cent to 80 per cent of Coast people shop at Supa-Valu to buy their groceries," he said.

"A lot of people from the Coast do shop in Rockhampton but mainly for durable items and clothing ... there's also many people on the Coast who commute daily to Rockhampton for work."

Mr Smyth said while his company had Authorised builders of

appealed against the Pacific Gateway complex it was not to be taken as a personal fight against Doug Cuddy.

Rather than comment on other shopping centres, Mr Smyth said he would prefer to. talk about the extensions to Savemore.

He said additional land had been acquired and the latest plans for the new complex did not involve a second storey. There was room on the expanded site to accommodate a complex twice the size of the existing centre plus additional parking.

Cuddy: two complexes can survive but third would create problems TWO major shopping centres, with specialty shops, could survive on the Capricorn Coast ... but a third complex could create problems.

Doug Cuddy, the principal behind the Pacific Gateway complex now tied up in a court appeal, was commenting on the announcement of a possible third complex to be sited at Poinciana Caravan Park.

But while Mr Cuddy believes there is only room for two shopping complexes, he said if both Pacific Gateway and the Poinciana centre went ahead the one to be affected would be Savemore.

"Economic Impact Studies I have seen show there is room for a second complex because the new one would pick up trade from the people who now . shop in Rockhampton," Mr Cuddy said.

"We hope to have Coles as our major tenant operating both a food store and a variety store.

"I understand that the Poinciana complex will have Woolworths, probably operating both food and variety outlets.

"If this happens Denhams will be affected

For those with plans, we offer more than advice.

The Commonwealth Development Bank is keen to help you because of your economic prospects rather than the security you can offer.

That is why we have built up a team of specialists to assist you to get your plans off the ground.

The CDB provides finance for all rural purposes, which include: • purchase of farm properties and making improvements; • working capital of a medium to long term nature; • stock purchases; • refinancing of debts and other financial obligations to enhance the viability of your undertaking; • purchase of plant, machinery and agricultural implements including trucks and cars.

If you want to learn more about the CDB's loan facilities, information is available from any branch of the Commonwealth Bank and the other major trading banks — and at the Commonwealth Development Bank in your capital city.

... they will be squeezed between a fight for survival between two national chains.

"I think that would be the end of Denhams ... and I sincerely hope that doesn't happen."

Mr Cuddy said he had no axe to grind with Denhams and the fight in court was "just business".

"Everyone should pay tribute to Denhams because they have shown their faith in Yeppoon," he said.

"They have shown this faith for the past 10 years and have given the people of Yeppoon a proper shopping shopping complex."

He said the court appeal Denhams had launched against the Cuddy and Bretz (Yeppoon) Pty Ltd shopping centre was to be expected.

"It's a delaying tactic so that they can finalise plans for their own expansion ... expansion hastened, I believe, because of our Pacific Gateway complex," Mr Cuddy said.

"They will expand and, if you check with them, you'll find that Murph's Sight 'n Sound (a Cuddy and Bretz store) has applied in writing for more space in the larger Savemore."

But Mr Cuddy doubts Denhams, or the Poinciana complex, will be able to start building as soon as they might hope.

"The Poinciana complex still has to go through the same procedures that Pacific Gateway went through; with Livingstone Shire Council, with objections from the public and appeals," he said.

"We will appeal against the Poinciana complex because we don't think there is enough business here for three shopping complexes.

- "No doubt Denhams will also appeal."

Mr Cuddy said his company, which he said was formed in Yeppoon 15 years ago, would also be forced to appeal against any expansion of the Savemore complex.

"Denhams will have to submit their plans to council; they'll have to wait for rezoning of the new land they have acquired and they will have to call for objections.

"We will object on economic grounds."

Asked to explain what he meant by "economic grounds", Mr Cuddy said: "Tit for tat."

He said he expected to win approval for the Pacific Gateway complex in court and hoped to have earthworks started by next month.

"The case is set down for February 17 and 10 days has been set aside for it," he said.

"We hope to start earthworks in March, complete them by May and, with a bit of luck, still be open in time for Christmas trading this year.

"We're pushing down the track on our own plans and I'd like to see things moving when the board meets at the end of this month," he said.

"We want to be finished by August or September this year ... but we're not rushing it. We want the new-look complex to be something that people will not recognise as a revamped old centre.

"We want our new complex to be something the Coast can be proud of," Mr Smyth said.

LE ❑ ABOVE: Ambulance officer Wayne Prowse gives this box jellyfish the respect it deserves at Yeppoon Ambulance Centre on Wednesday afternoon.

Fisherman hands over box jellyfish to ambulancemen...found at Kinka A LARGE box jellyfish was handed in at the Yeppoon Ambulance Centre on Wednesday afternoon ... and it was still alive.

Kinka Beach fisherman Rod Hurley carried it into the centre in a large bucket.

It needed the large bucket.

Measuring at least 20cm across the head, the box jellyfish tried to propelled itself around in its confined space.

Ambulance superintendent Geoff Reynolds said it was big enough to kill ... or at least give a swimmer a stay in hospital with respiratory problems.

Mr Hurley told ambulance staff he thought they might like a live specimen to warn swimmers of the danger around at the moment.

Mr Reynolds watched as ambulance officer Wayne Prowse (wearing plastic gloves) manoeuvred the box jellyfish into a number of positions for photographs.

Both treated it with extreme caution.

Mr Reynolds said the Coast had to expect a few to turn up on beaches and in shallow water because of the cyclone in the North.

"They would have been blown this way and swimmers should be aware of the danger," he said.

"This one was caught in the fish trap at Kinka Beach so they are definitely around."

Mr Reynolds said all swimmers should take at least two litres of white vinegar with

them to the beach, every time.

"Look, you can take less, but if someone gets stung 'across the chest it will take two litres to liberally douse the affected area," he said.

"The vinegar won't stop the pain ... you'll need a doctor for that, but the vinegar will . make the tentacles retract and stop them injecting poison into your system."

Mr Reynolds said once vinegar had been liberally doused all over the affected part or parts of the body, the tentacles could .be carefully removed.

Great care should be taken removing them because they could still sting careless fingers or hands.

Anyone stung should seek immediate medical attention.

"Go to the lifesavers, the ambulance, a doctor or the hospital immediately," Mr Reynolds said.

"If you aree with someone who has been stung and you have a fair distance to travel for medical help keep a close eye on them. "`Watch their respiration and be prepared to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation."

Yeppoon Hospital had anti-venene but Yeppoon ambulance does not have any, as yet. Mr Reynolds said he may order some in after seeing the specimen found on Kinka Beach.

Mr Reynolds said it was not normal to see many around the Capricorn Coast but this one showed they were here ... at least at the moment.

Mines Minister to address branch MINISTER for Mines and Energy Ivan Gibbs will visit Emu Park on Tuesday, February 11.

Mr Gibbs will be guest speaker for the Emu Park branch of the National Party monthly meeting.

The meeting is at 8pm at the Pine Beach Hotel.

The branch was formed in August, 1985 and now has 52 members.

Development news prompts shire Backyard meet chairman to push for Coast casino will plan future .

SHIRE chairman Cr Lindsay Hartwig, MLA, bolstered by news of new shopping centres and the coming opening of the Capricorn Iwasaki Resort, said this week all the Coast needed now was a casino.

"There's 2000 going to be 2000 visitors a night staying here when you add up the people who will be staying at the Capricorn Iwasaki Resort, Great Keppel Island and on the Coast itself," he said.

And, for a permanent following, the casino would draw from the area bounded by Bundaberg, Longreach and Mackay."

Cr Hartwig said he did not see why Central Queensland should be treated as a third-rate area by not having 'a casino.

"There's going to be another one in

Queensland and it should be on the Capricorn Coast," he said.

He sees a Capricorn Coast casino as a means of high-class gambling that people would have to seek ... not have thrust at them.

"Gambling is already visible everywhere you go on a Saturday morning," he said.

"You can-t walk down the street without someone wanting you to buy a lucky envelope or a ticket in a raffle.

"That's gambling ... and it's thrust at you.

"A casino is different.. If you want to gamble in acasino you have to go to it. You must be dressed properly and you must be of age."

Cr Hartwig admits he likes casinos. He visited them in Tasmania (both casinos) South Australia, the Gold Coast and Las Vegas.

"You don't see kids of 11 winning $1000 in a casino; but that's what happened recently with bingo," he said.

Aside from the money a casino would bring to the Coast, Cr Hartwig sees the chance to provide jobs for at least 600 people.

But he wouldn't like to see a casino similar to what he visited at the Gold Coast.

"The prices were outrageous, $1.40 for a 7oz beer. You could feel the five-cent pieces slipping down your throat as you drank," he said.

What he can't understand is why the State Government doesn't move faster on a casino for this area.

Quoting figures he received from Federal Hotels, which operate in Tasmania, Cr Hartwig said the money the Tasmanian Government made was amazing.

From March 31, 1983 to June 30, 1985, the group paid $4,399,000 in licence fees to the State Government; $1,762,000 in payroll tax and $20,546,000 in wages.

It paid $2,434.,000 for food; $1,991,000 for liquor and $1,979,000 for other consumables.° Advertising (interstate mostly to draw players) cost $1,979,000. There were 150,700 guests of whom 84,000 were from interstate.

The estimated spending in Tasmania by interstate guests was $21,092,000.

Cr Hartwig said he would prefer to see any casino operated on the Coast owned and controlled by Australians.

❑ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the first meeting should be a "talk session where ideas could flow".

Talk turned to town planning and some members said they were concerned at how many years had been wasted waiting for the council to come up with a plan for the future.

Discussion on the expected cost of $100,000 for the latest town plan shocked some. They asked where were the previous plans that council had commissioned and paid for.

There was debate on whether councillors and council staff should attend. Some wanted them present to throw in their ideas, others felt they already plenty of opportunity to talk ... it was time they listened.

Cr Wildin kept returning to the theme that things were going to happen in '86.

"Now we have to sit down and think. Do we want shopping centres? Will they stimulate growth? Do we need to look at the central shopping area (Yeppoon)?

"All of this will have to be looked at. We have to sit down and think about where we are heading and where do we want to head."

Mr Peach said he didn't like reports that pointed to 70 or 80 new shops opening up in Yeppoon. He had gone on record two years ago saying he was in favour of a second major food retailer; "so I'm not just anti development"; but he said development should occur in the central business district.

He was concerned that new shopping centres outside the main business area were being publicly supported without any town plan.

Cr Wildin again came back to the theme of impending growth. She said a lot of big businessmen were looking at the Coast.

These people had looked at other areas such as the Gold Coast and Noosa and were now looking at the Capricorn Coast.

After discussion was closed, the idea was summarised. It was decided the meeting would be held under the trees; all groups would be invited to send a representative; the meeting would be an open workshop and there would be no minutes, no formalities.

It is hoped that out of the meeting will come a group of people with one thought in mind ... the Coast and its future.

As Lew Taylor summed up: "We have to start somewhere."

Supa-Valu will soon offer Rockhampton 'specials' DENHAM Bros "has taken steps" to wipe out the difference in price between advertised supermarket specials available on the Coast, in the West and in Rockhampton.

Company managing director Ron Smyth said this week the same specials would apply where-ever Denhams had outlets.

Prices now vary from area to area.

Rockhampton advertises cheaper "specials" than those applying on the Coast and in the coalfields.

Mr Smyth said this policy was about to, change and the lower advertised prices would apply "in the near future".

He said he would not give a firm date...

Mr Smyth outlined the new policy when asked to comment on a call from Capricorn Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry president John Peach for Denhams to offer Rockhampton prices in

Yeppoon.

Mr Peach, addressing the chamber on Tuesday night, called on the company to make all prices at Yeppoon the same as in company stores in Rockhampton.

"It is ridiculous that we in Yeppoon are paying the same prices as centres out west in the coalfields," he said.

His call came during discussion on shopping centres proposed for the Coast.

Mr Peach said Denhams objected to other centres being built in opposition to its Savemore complex "and as a gesture to the area they should charge the same prices as they do in Rockhampton".

"It would be a good move on their part," he said.

Mr Peach said it was a case of "mind over matter". People saw specials in one Denhams advertisement applying to Rockhampton and dearer specials applying to the Coast in the next

Truck, Bus & Heavy Commercial Vehicle Owners

r

advertisement.

When asked his reaction to Mr Peach's call, Mr Smyth said: "It is a very sound comment."

He said he had taken steps before Christmas to bring all advertised specials into line but had met delays because of wet weather and a problem with grocery suppliers.

He said the same price would soon be advertised for all Denhams outlets.

Asked whether the advertised price would be the one that normally applied to Rockhampton or whether it would be the Coast price, Mr Smyth said Rockahmpton prices would apply in specials.

He further intended to work on prices across the board in all stores so that other food chains would see Denhams as "a worthy competitor".

"Our prime objective is to keep prices down," he said.

Classes soon in dog handling BEGINNERS classes for the basic level of dog handling starts on Tuesday, February 18 at the Cooee Park complex at 7.30pm.

The course is designed for both the average dog owner and the serious dogobedience enthusiast.

The course is over eight weeks.

The aims are to achieve a basic understanding of how your dog thinks and acts, a clear idea of what you want and can expect from your dog and the basic exercises of dog obedience.

There are 10 places in each class and organiser Kevin Cousins can be contacted for registering at 39 6481 after hours and 39 1132 at work.

Dog obedience classes also start on February 18, same venue, at 8pm.

"Dog obedience is an interesting sport in that a close bond of understanding is fostered between handler and dog," Mr Cousins said.

"It allows a degree of enjoyment that is often unsuspected by most people."

Patience, understanding and practice are needed but the results are worthwhile.

"In every town wandering, uncontrolled dogs are an increasing problem," he said.

"Dog obedience allows people to modify their dog's behaviour, gain a degree of confident control over their dog and also gives them more enjoyment of their dog.

"The dog benefits because it is less likely to cause trouble and ill-feeling between neighbours."

Letter will urge Chamber invites public to address council to push on union grip on superannuation lack of actions, to anyone.

CONCERN over union controlled on with estate • superannuation "If that pattern is followed in the national funds, plus a copy of a THE Capricorn Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry will write to Livingstone Shire Council urging it to make sure the Tanby Road industrial estate goes ahead.

This follows debate during general business about council's plan to send shire chairman Cr Lindsay Hartwig, MLA, and engineer Tony Rowe to Brisbane to plead a case for funds to pay for drainage works.

Chamber members, who have been Involved in the setting up of an industrial estate for many years, were concerned that the State Government might decide to stop plans to proceed with the estate.

Cr Barbara Wildin told the meeting that if the government did not go ahead with the estate, the council would be be up for a lot of money for drainage works in Tanby Road.

The $90,000 cost to council for its drainage works in the industrial estate looked small by comparison.

President John Peach said the amount the council had been asked to contribute was "piddling compared to other works the council carried out".

Bob Leight said the previous council had already voted $40,000 for water and sewerage costs involved with the industrial estate on Rockhampton Road.

This money should have been carried forward, he said.

Cr Wildin said her main concern was that if council did not get on with the job and vote the funds, the government could call a halt to the project leaving Yeppoon without an industrial estate.

scheme to be introduced next year, the longterm effects in Australia will be terrifying," Senator Parer said.

"Any chance of our remaining a free country will be gone. Small and large businesses talk about what is being inflicted on them but rarely will they provide hard evidence because of fear of retribution."

He then gave details of the union scheme which, he said, penalised the employee.

His calculations showed that the unions would have more than $3000 million a year to invest from superannuation funds.

Also, Senator Parer said failure to sign up with union schemes had rsulted in industrial bans, threats of bans and threats of physical violence.

The chamber voted to hold the public meeting so that anyone interested could attend and hear the Senator's remarks.

speech on the topic has prompted the Capricorn Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry to call a public meeting.

Guest speaker will be Queensland Liberal Senator Warwick Parer. He will be invited to address the public meeting following his recent speech in the Senate on the superannuation proposals.

He sent a copy of his speech, and a Igtter on the topic, to the chambers latest meeting, held on. Tuesday night at the Railway Hotel.

In his letter, Senator Parer said his speech was delivered in the Senate as a matter of public importance.

"As you will see, the future freedom of Australia is under serious threat," he said.

He asked all members to read his speech and offered to give an address.

Cr Barbara Wildin said there was a lot of talk in the community about superannuation and the chamber was sure of a "big roll-up" if it called a meeting.

The chamber decided to invite Senator Parer to address a public meeting on Tuesday, March 4, which will be held in the Yeppoon CWA Hall.

This meeting will be held instead of the usual chamber meeting set down for that night.

In his speech, Senator Parer said there was already Australia-wide concern about the influence the "unelected ACTU has on. the Labor Government".

"If the plan, under the guise of national superannuation, goes ahead, control of Australia will be totally in the hands of the ACTU," he said.

"We see this as a crude attempt to socialise a free country by stealth."

Using the Building Unions' Superannuation scheme as an example, Senator Parer said all the union schemes had "very similar characteristics".

"They involve only employer contributions; the trustee company is a company controlled by the unions; a management fee goes to that trustee company; industrial blackmail is being used to coerce employers and employees to join union funds; in the main, competitive schemes are not acceptable; and trustees had no obligation to explain their actions, or

THE Capricorn Coast Tourist Organisation will take to the water this weekend with more than 40 members and friends spending the weekend at North Keppel Island Resort.

New owners of the resort, Peter and Paul Hayward of Sydney, have offered the use of island, for the weekend, free to the CCTO. "We will hold our February meeting at the island," CCTO president Brian Hooper said.

"Pending development of the island, starting in July this year, it could prove a popular venue for another mid-year meeting, if this meeting is successful."

• One of the major items to be discussed at the weekend will be the siting of the Coast's new tourist information centre.

"After many months of inspections of possible sites and talks with Main Roads Department representatives and Livingstone Shire councillors, the CCTO selected a highway frontage some six kilometres west of Yeppoon.

"This was subject to LSC agreement to the lease of the land to the CCTO. This was subsequently agreed to by council subject to the CCTO becoming incorporated," he said.

The site, as well as fronting the' YeppoonRockhampton Road, also fronts a gazetted road which could become a major highway entry to Capricorn Iwasaki.

Mr Hooper said that accordingly, the information centre would be able to service the whole coastline.

He said that another reason for the proposed siting west of the new highway junction was to facilitate the entry of visitors to the Coast.

"Those wishing to visit Yeppoon's business centre would be directed to the old highway entry, others via the new highway to the harbour or other parts of the Coast.

"Regrettably, the CCTO is not in a position to argue with council over the siting because council owns the land," he said.

The CCTO would be looking for assistance from council for the development of the area and Mr Hooper said that the group is seeking consensus not discord on this matter.

A video tape of USA tourist parks sited in similar positions to the CCTO proposed centre will be shown to members.

THE SANDS Open

AL RESORT IN QUEENSLAND council wants information LIVINGSTONE Shire Council will not make a decision on rezoning stage two of Lammermoor Heights until the applicant, CPN Properties Pty Ltd, has supplied information on water supply, sewerage, electricity, headworks charges, roadworks and drainage.

The decision was made on a recommendation from consultant town planner Geoff Nolan.

Mr Nolan, in a report to council, said the application lacked supporting information.

He said access to the 38-allotment subdivision was proposed from Clayton Road, but the applicant had not said anything about bitumen widening or kerb and chanelling.

Council also had no drainage strategy for the land including the proposed subdivision.

He said council should have no objection to the rezoning except that the applicant had not given council a submission regarding the provision of services and drainage.

Crs Jim Anderson and Brian Dorey successfully moved Mr Nolan's recommendation.

WELL, we had the weigh-in and I'm not very happy. I really worked on the diet this week. I was cranky and hungry all week, boy, was I hungry! John lost another pound and his score is 7 pounds. Me, I gained a pound, so am back to 5.6 pounds. It is terribly depressing. Wouldn't mind if I had pigged myself, but I didn't. Anyway the doctor says breakfast is a must and that's why I didn't lose. Apparently, if you don't have something, anything, for breakfast your body doesn't know it's awake. So, looks like this week I'll have to have my vegemite toast and tea before work.

The other thing we are going to do is ... `work-out'. We will trot (not really!) down to the Bakehouse Gym and have a go. We're supposed to right from the start to keep the muscles firm as we lost weight, but didn't get around to it. It isn't any good just cutting down on food, you have help some of the adipose (fatty) tissue dissolve with exercise.

Can't think of anything worse after cutting out all the goodies and working so hard at it and having hanging flesh.

So far, to boost my morale, have been to the panel beaters and had hair and nails done. This week will have a go at tinted eyelashes.

Congratulations to Robin King, he looks good and thinner.

Capricorn Coast Mirror February 8 — February 14, 1986 — 11 WELL, it doesn't matter now whether OPEC gets its cartel back together or whether Bob Hawke decides to drop the price of petrol ... why? Because the Yeppoon Ambulance Centre is running an on-going el raffle offering 200 litres of fuel as prize for ickets costing just $1.

There's a limited number of tickets and they are on sale at the following outlets: D & S Motors, Pacific Star, CK Motors, The Oaks, Ampol, Esso Emu Park, Yeppoon Tackle and Sports, Capricorn News, Yeppoon Ambulance Centre and, of course, from all ambulance officers.

The raffle will be drawn as soon as the tickets are sold, the winner will be notified and can get their fuel from the garage of their choice, then another raffle will start.

Sooner or later your number must come . up. Now you have a use for those dollar coins that weigh down your purses and pockets after each fuel fill ... spend your change on raffle tickets!

I'M glad we have contributors and also that I get to work with their copy. Eric Austin brought in his Yeppoon Bowls Club notes this week and I didn't really have a good look at them until time to typeset.

He reported how the competition bowls continued on the weekend until play was halted at midday on Sunday: "by some longawaited rain, lovely rain here, but not so welcome up north, especially when one has a son and family between Tully and Cardwell, and can't contact them up till this date".

I hope he has heard from his family.

LAST week I made a couple of mistakes.

The first was about Tom Smithwick and his book 'Moon over Somerset'. I said the `Quetta' struck an uncharted rock while on the way to Brisbane from London in 1890.

Well, it was going to London from Brisbane.

Sorry Tom. Proceeds from the book will go into a building fund for the Emu Park Historical Museum. It's on sale at the Emu Park Newsagency and the Museum.

MY other mistake was worse. Got my days muddled for the ballroom and old-time dancing classes. The correct day is Thursday. The venue is the CWA Hall.

Soccer sign-on and officials want big roll-up YEPPOON United Soccer Club's sign-on is at Apex Park on Saturday, February 15 at 2pm.

"We're looking for a good roll-up of young players," president Col Bailey said.

Teams being fielded are from under-7 upwards.

"Following last year's successful season we are confident of seeing the club grow this year.

"The club will develop another field, fence the park and build a small clubhouse," Mr Bailey said.

The cost of the improvements will be $40,000 and the committee has lodged an application for Commonwealth Government assistance in the form of the CEP scheme.

"We will be able to host home games once a month when the project is finished and this will boost the soccer following on the Coast.

"Parents who want to see their sons play a good, clean game of football should encourage them to sign-up for soccer."

The Coast club is a member of the Rockhampton Soccer Federation and the teams play on Saturday mornings at Norbridge Park, Rockhampton. They play against Rockhampton and Mt Morgan sides.

The boys are bussed to Rockhampton in \E-,-,e mornings and return at lunchtime.

Mr Bailey said the boys are taught the basic fundamentals of ball control, team work and spirit and fair play at an early stage.

"This is carried on to whatever code of football they may choose to follow at a later age."

If you are unable to attend the sign-on but your boy would like to play, contact Mr Bailey, 39 7670.

Junior league needs referees THE Rockhampton Junior Rugby League is looking for people qualified to referee games who are prepared to handle occasional matches played at St Brendan's.

There is a shortage of referees in Rockhampton and the people available are reluctant to handle games when they have to travel to the Coast.

The Coast volunteers would only have to handle "home" games played by St Brendan's against Rockhampton teams.

These matches would be played at St Brendan's.

A spokesman said the referees would only have to handle games played by under 13s to under 16s.

Anyone interested can contact the Rockhampton Rugby League Referees' Association, 28 6938.

Land approved Car league club YEPPOON Rugby League Club has been notified by the Lands Department that their application for land on the corner of Tanby Road and the new highway has been approved.

The 52ha block was offered to the club on a 30 year lease at $100 per year and this will be reviewed in 2016.

Club president Maurie Webb said the land has to be levelled, drained and seeded with grass.

Applications will now be 'made to State and Federal Governments for grants. The Committee hopes to build a shower block under the CEP scheme.

Coast cricketers had 'moral victory' YEPPOON Cricket team spokesman felt that a moral victory was scored for the team in the Country Carnival competition played over the Australia Day weekend .

"Even though the score-sheets showed otherwise, team members felt they had had a moral victory," Capricorn Coast Cricket Club secretary and Yeppoon team organiser Rick Robinson said.

"Our team played well and the weekend was marred only by some poor umpiring decisions on the final day.

"These robbed Yeppoon of a first innings win against The Glen from Gladstone," he said.

On the first day Yeppoon played Bluff and although Yeppoon was two men short the Coast side bundled Bluff out for 44 runs.

"This was due to some fine bowling by Andrew Wall who took six wicketrs for 14 runs off nine overs."

Wayne Kitchener took three wickets for 24 runs off nine overs.

Yeppoon took first innings points by being dismissed for 60 runs with Steve Pidcock top scoring with 26.

In the second innings, Bluff was dismissed for 91 runs with the bowling honours going to Steve Pidcock who took five wickets for 18 runs off four overs.

The deficit of 75 runs was made with the loss of only two wickets and this gave Yeppoon an outright win.

Brod Gough was unbeaten on 34 and Wayne Kitchener unbeaten on 22.

On the second day Yeppoon fielded a full side against Central Coast.

Yeppoon elected to bat after winning the

toss. The Coast side made 205 runs with Wayne Kitchener scoring 74.

Central Coast was forced to follow on after being dismissed for 93 runs.

Andrew Wall took five wickets for 31 off 14 overs and Wayne Kitchener took four for 23 off 12 overs.

"Only the lack of time prevented Yeppoon from taking an outright win with Central Coast down seven wickets for 83 at stumps," Mr Robinson said.

The bowling honours were shared with wicketkeeper Brod Gough pitching in to take two wickets for two runs off one over.

The third and final match was against The Glen.

Yeppoon was sent into bat and made 209 runs. Opening batsman Steve Pidcock finished unbeaten on 64.

The Glen made 215 with the loss of seven wickets.

"We were robbed of victory when two runout decisions and a caught behind decision were turned down by Glen umpires."

The best bowling went to Andrew Wall who took three for 56 off 19 overs.

Captain Wayne Kitchener took 10 wickets and a hard-hitting 74. Andrew Wall took 17 wickets. Steve Pidcock gave an all-round performance of run-scoring, wicket-taking and catching. Brod Gough performed well behind the stumps and with the bat.

"On behalf of the Capricorn Coast Cricket Club I thank all those people who participated in the competition on the Yeppoon side, as well as the Bluff and Central Coast teams for their co-operation and sportsmenship," Mr Robinson said.

Open letter to Swans from coach ❑ By Alex Herewane, the ACI Swans Coach TO win a premiership is, of course, the first and foremost duty of every football club.

A revived club, Yeppoon, last year obtained third in the A grade and won the Reserve grade premiership.

Unfortunately, it takes more than one good season to earn the title of a successful club.

Our Reserve grade played their finals games with distinction. All players involved in the finals, and throughout the year, should be proud of themselves and their team mates.

The season may have been just a little too long for the A grade. We played some of the best football I have ever seen in this league but we couldn't carry that form into the finals and, as a coach, the finals are a recurring nightmare.

There are no easy ways to win a premiership.

It is an accepted policy for bottom clubs

seeking a premiership to allow themselves five years to do so.

Essendon allowed themselves five years when they hired Kevin Sheedy and were rewarded after three.

Melbourne hired the great Ron Barassi with a five-year plan in mind. They spent more than $1 million and, after five years, the premiership still eludes them.

Last year's results have created a great launching pad. We have the players, here in Yeppoon, capable of winning this year's a grade flag ... from bottom to top in two years.

It is important that you, the players, give yourselves every chance of being part of that team.

If you haven't trained yet, then now is the time to start. We train Tuesday and Thursday, at 5.30pm at the Yeppoon Showground and again on Sundays from 9am.

If you are thinking of retirement, just remember ... you are a long time retired.

Help your club pass the test in 1986.

FOOTNOTE: The club will be hosting a barbecue and player get-together on Sunday (tomorrow) at the grounds. This will start at 10am following a,light training run. All past and present intending players are asked to attend.

Me bait o6the Must THE events you are about to read did not (repeat not) occur on the Capricorn Coast but I was told about them by a Coast bloke who, for obvious reasons, wishes to remain anonymous ... this bloke has a mate who, in course of his work, has the power to put stark terror into the' minds of people he comes across. He's big, he's strong, he's important ... and he's henpecked. Now, one night, this big strong fella was slurping a few milkshakes with his mates when the barmaid sidled up to him with a phone. "It's your wife," she said, in a voice loud enough to summon the dead. Now, everyone knew this poor guy was henpecked so, as a sign of respect (and so that they wouldn't miss a word)' they quietened down. Bloke took the phone, talked with his wife, then raised his voice and said: "Look, I'll be home when I'm good and ready. You just put my dinner in the oven and I'll eat it when I get home." Then, for effect, he slammed down the phone. His mates were stunned, and they were impressed. The fella drank on till closing time then.continued partying until about lam. By this time his mates fearful for his life and, being good meet, they dropped him off at home and hightailed it to a safer place leaving the poor bloke to face his fate alone. The next day this bloke turns up for work and his mates were duly impressed. His image was secure ... he had survived. There was hope for the world. But, later in the day, the bloke who told me this story asked him how he got on last night. "Well, my wife was waiting, there was no shouting and my dinner was waiting for me in the oven. She insisted that she had done her part and she was going to see that I did my part and eat all of my dinner," he said. "Fair enough," said the mate, "you put your foot down, you won, and then you show there's no hard feelings. Good onya. By the way, what did you have for dinner?" The poor guy looked around, adopted a conspiratorial whisper and said: "Salad. I had to eat a full meal of hot lettuce!"

DOG CATCHER was making his rounds on Monday morning near corner of Adelaide Park Road and Cliff Street ... dogs were playing happily in the street oblivious to impending doom. Suddenly, one of two dogs "chatting" with each other looked up and saw dog catcher cruising slowly up Cliff Street. Dog catcher had his eye on the dogs and something was transmitted ... both dogs stopped "chatting" and all the fun went out of their morning. One did an instant cringe. His belly sunk to the ground, his head went down, his tail lay limply on the ground ... only the dog's eyes moved, keeping ar -•7e on the dog catcher, while his legs rye minute movements towards the safety of his own front gate. The other dog knew he was doomed ... you could see it in his whole cringing manner. He turned his back on his mate and "sauntered" in the opposite direction. But he knew it was over ... even though the dog catcher hadn't said a word those two dogs knew who was boss. The second one just stopped and waited for the dog catcher to check his tag, read his address, and give him a pat on the head. The lead was clicked on and, fair dinkum, the dog stood at the dog catcher's feet while he spoke to a woman who had asked him how she could go about registering her dog. The whole time the dog catcher was speaking to the woman, he kept leaning down and patting the dog on the head and under the neck. Finally, the dog jumped into the van and the dog catcher headed off to take it home. I hope the dog owner did not abuse the dog catcher or make any smart remarks ... that bloke cares about dogs and has a way with them. They're in good hands.
