ROWE: BILL WILL BE FORMER Livingstone Shire engineer Tony Rowe believes he has no chance of being reinstated to his former position ... "the numbers are against me," he said on Wednesday.

And he sees one of the number against him as the Shire chairman Cr John Bowen.

"John Bowen was the second person to give evidence at last year's inquiry into my actions ... and he wasn't even a councillor at that time," Mr Rowe said.

"In his report issued after the inquiry, Judge Gibney said: 'On the balance of probabilities, it is very clear that Councillors r'-)wen and Cresta actively and closely ....,rsued the Shire Engineer Rowe from motives best known to them'."

Mr Rowe was completely exonerated at

last year's inquiry and "his dedication, loyalty and integrity were found to be beyond question". Seven months later he was sacked by Livingstone Shire Council.

His sacking was subject to appeal under Section 17 (B) of the Local Government Act. The appeal was heard on Monday this week and the decision handed down on Tuesday morning upheld Mr Rowe's appeal.

The appeal board determined he should be reinstated. However, Livingstone Shire Council may elect not to reinstate Mr Rowe.

Council must make a decision within two weeks of receiving the evidence and decision of the appeal board. This evidence and decision must be put before the next council meeting.

Mr Rowe said if council elected to reinstate

$3m loan approved for Emu Park sewer

`Go for it,' says Hartwig to LSC `Do the job'

J

LIVINGSTONE Shire Council has been given approval to borrow almost $3 million to sewer Emu Park ... and Member for Callide Lindsay Hartwig said this week the council should "go for it" and do the job.

Mr Hartwig said he had been notified that council had approval to borrow the money over 40 years and also had a State Government subsidy of $215,400 for Emu Park sewerage treatment.

He said the official notification to him that the Loan Council had approved the borrowings was something he had been hoping for during his year-long term as ' tngstone Shire chairman. \--1 implemented this 12 months ago when I was chairman (he retired in April for health reasons) and I think to get a loan over 40 years with a 30 per cent subsidy is something I feel the council can't refuse," he said this week.

"Sewerage means the difference between a town and a township."

Mr Hartwig was told of the loan council approvals earlier this week. He said council had been authorised to borrow, in all, $2,767,600 over 40 years.

These two loans, plus the $215,400 subsidy, amount to $2,983,000.

Mr Hartwig said he instigated the move to sewer Emu Park and "I am a strong supporter of it".

He supported sewering Emu Park because it was the only way the town could grow ... but he predicted that when the job was completed, Emu Park's growth could outstrip Yeppoon's.

"Septics can't be used for development such as major blocks of flats ... the whole basis of putting in sewerage is development," Mr Hartwig said.

"But there's also the health angle to consider. In the wet season 'it' floats to the surface and the ground can't absorb it.

"The stench is terrible around some houses.

"Livingstone Shire Council should grasp this opportunity to sewer Emu Park.

"The cost in the future is only going to increase ... and the people want it."

(A survey, by coupon in the Capricorn Coast Mirror in June backed Mr Hartwig's statement. In all, 200 coupons were sent to the Mirror and 76 per cent wanted sewerage ... 43 per cent of these wanted the whole of Emu Park and Zilzie sewered while 33 per cent called for just the town area of Emu Park to be sewered.)

"Sewerage is what the people want because it does away with bath and sink water washing into yards, as well as the sewage itself ... it's what modern-day living is all about," Mr Hartwig said.

"It's already late enough in the day.

Council should go for it."

Council was also authorised to borrow: Roadworks, $200,000; drainage, $1,100,000; land acquisition, $50,000; and plant, $165,000 therefore gaining approval to borrow $3,292,600 by debenture loans with total State Government subsidies of $373,862.

Council will also be told that consideration will be given to other borrowings following submissions to the Premier's Department of details of works proposed.

him, it would have to pay him for the period from his dismissal on April 22 until he resumes work (about 18 weeks).

However, if council elects not to reinstate him, council faces a payout of 20 months' salary which represents one month's pay for every year Mr Rowe has worked in Local Government.

Mr Rowe said council would also have to pay his legal expenses and the expenses involved in the appeal board's meeting.

He estimates the wages payment and legal costs to council will total about $120,000.

"The whole of this exercise, to ratepayers, will be in excess of $200,000," Mr Rowe said.

The breakdown of this cost is: 0 About $113,000 to Mr Rowe.

COUNCIL BUDGET IN BRIEF

Anzac Parade highway?

ARE there plans for a new highway along Anzac Parade?

It seems to be a possibility after a decision made by council during its budget meeting last week.

Referring to a quotation from the Capricornia Electricity Board for the installation of lighting on the Yeppoon beachfront, council decided to consider the lighting "in conjunction with the planning for the road system in respect to the main street and the new highway along Anzac Parade".

The CEB advised the cost of lighting would be $9000.

$1800 for meeting record COUNCIL has allocated $1800 in this year's budget for recording equipment.

The sum was allocated following quotations for equipment for recording of meetings.

Record hopes for cancer doorknock YEPPOON service clubs are hoping for a record year in the Queensland Cancer Funds doorknock appeal on Sunday, September 14.

Local appeal organiser Ernie O'Sullivan said the need to control cancer was now more important that ever before because cancer is the only major disease, apart from AIDS, for which mortality is increasing.

The QCF shares with the government the goal of reducing death from cancer by five' per cent in 19 years time.

"To do this it requires extensive public education about cancer causing lifestyles which can be avoided," Mr O'Sullivan said.

Foremost among these is smoking which at present causes 30 per cent of all cancer.

"We will see lung cancer overtake breast cancer as the most common cancer in Queensland women by the end of the next decade," he said.

Country patients who receive treatment in Brisbane, and that is where world-class treatment facilities are located, are provided with first-rate accommodation at either the fund's Charles Wanstall Apex Lodge or Arthur Cooper Hospital.

"If people aren't home when the collector calls they can post their donation free-ofcharge in the envelope provided."

THE Capricorn branch of the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland and the Capricorn Conservation Council this week announced their support for a major Statewide campaign on environmental issues, in the lead up to the State election.

Capricorn branch of the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland secretary Sylvia Burns and Capricorn Conservation Council secretary Jenny Poulter issued a joint statement that Queensland was suffering as a result of years of poor environmental planning and management and said there was an urgent need to improve this situation.

Both groups feel that the current inadequacies of environmental management were exemplified by the Lindeman Island fiasco earlier this year and the lack of heritage legislation in Queensland.

Both organisations will be campaigning on a broad range of issues relevant to Queensland and to this region, in particular, the overdue gazettal of Bayfield National Park.

"We will be addressing questions of vital environmental concerns to all local candidates in the election and inviting their responses for consideration by interested voters," Mrs Burns said.

"The campaign will be calling on people tri take environmental matters into account in the election. We will ask our members to direct their votes to those candidates who indicate greatest sensitivity .to local conservation issues, especially the overdue gazettal of Bayfield.

"We feel that greater efforts are required to protect the natural environment in Queensland and to ensure that people have a healthy and pleasant environment in which to live," she said.

report under arm ready to do battle in Brisbane fora $3.5 million water filtration plant for the Coast ... but Premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen had poured cold water on Cr Bowen's hopes before he even started out for Brisbane on Thursday.

Hinton 'not too surprised' at knockback THE apparent failure of Livingstone Shire Council to chieve immediate success in its bid to win a $3.5 million water filtration plant should not be over-reacted to, National Party Broadsound candidate Denis Hinton said on Wednesday.

He was "disappointed for the Coast but not too surprised" because the bid was too late for this year's State Budget and the government had lost considerable revenue from cuts in Commonwealth funding.

Premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen had been honest in that the State could not afford the plant at this time ... "but the Coast must get positive over the next 12 months and promote the issue as the highest profile issue in Central Queensland.

"Then we will have more chance of success," Mr Hinton said.

He said he was disturbed to see the "joy and enthusiasm" with which Cr Barbara Wildin (Independent for Broadsound)' had received the bad news for the council and the Capricorn Coast.

"Residents can only presume that Cr Wildin does not want to improve the Coast, and for ratepayers to have a clean water supply," he said.

He said he strongly supported council's bid for a State grant for a water filtration plant and would pursue the issue before and after being elected to parliament.

SCOTT WILL SIT ON DOORSTEP TO GET A Tivisi 0 By Roslyn Scott Independent candidate for Broadsound AFTER inspecting the Yeppoon State High School with Jack Cowie, and having worked there for five months, I must agree wholeheartedly with his claims.

Our high school is probably the worst example of a Class One State High School in the State of Queensland.

My immediate concern is very basic ... safety for all students and teachers.

Inter-classroom access, especially the lower section of the school is very dangerous, in most cases short cuts down slippery enbankments are used rather than the indirect pathways constructed to date.

Access to the agricultural section at present, after the rain, is through inches of mud which can then be transferred to the carpeted classroom floors.

Upon presentation of this certificate to a prospective employer it will prove a willingness to work, a responsibility to work and the skill learned could be the opening to a job for the future. The young people gain by achieving something rather than wasting a day at the beach or on the street.

With regard to the critical lack of classroom space. If I have to sit on Minister for Education Lin Powell's doorstep to speak with him I will. First priority being his inspection of the conditions at the school.

If being nice doesn't work, I'm sure a programme such as State Affair filming the conditions students put up with and the lack of classroom space will ensure co-operation from his and any other government department for the future whenever I request an appointment.

The access to the school oval for fire drill is extremely hazardous due to severe soil erosion.

My answer to these safety problems?

I propose setting up a voluntary working system for the many unemployed youth in Yeppoon who want to work.

I wall approach Livingstone Shire Council to supply a supervisor to teach these people to build concrete ramps and steps in all of the danger areas at the school.

I will approach the State Government to supply the necessary sand, gravel and cement for the work through the works department in Rockhampton.

At the end of the job each unemployed, male or female, will be presented with a certificate stating their willingness to take part in voluntary work for the community.

Palmer's promise: education has Hinton says he high priority for him and party will be effective 0 By Chris Palmer ALP candidate for Broadsound

THE Yeppoon High School Parents and Citizens' Association has reached the end of it tether because of the National Party State Government's failure to provide adequate facilities at the school.

The extent of the government's neglect is \-- Indicated by the fact that the P and C has been forced to play politics in an attempt to get the problems rectified.

I inspected the school with at the invitation of association president Jack Cowie and I can verify their long list of complaints.

I have been approached by P and C representatives, parents, and teachers from other schools within the Broadsound electorate and they have complained of similar problems.

P and C associations are sick and tired of having to provide basic necessities such as toilet paper, cleaning agents, and fuel for motor mowers, let alone essential office equipment like photocopiers and teaching aids like computers.

Wildin will back parents' priority 0 By Cr Barbara Wildin Independent candidate for Broadsound

OUR children are our greatest natural resource and their education should be one of the highest priorities of government funding.

Our children are the future, yet the conditions that exist at Yeppoon State High School, and I am sure, at many other schools in Queensland, indicate that children's education falls well behind race tracks and unnecessary government advertising in spending priorities: If elected to represent everyone in Broadsound, I would make sure that not only Yeppoon High School, but every school in "".'" the electorate received the funds they are entitled to because I would keep in close communication with the parents and citizens' groups and make constant representations to the Education Department.

I would make a point of visiting all schools on a regular basis to talk with teachers and students and, as already mentioned, with the parents.

I would look to all of them for ideas and direction because they know best what they need.

As far as the challenge issued to candidates by Yeppoon High School Parents and Citizens' Association president Jack Cowie, I feel the best way to handle his list of needs is to issue a personal invitation to whoever the Education Minister may be in the next government.

I would ask the Minister to personally view the conditions which teachers and students are working in at the school.

I would ask the parents' group to draw up a priority list and arrange for copies to be sent to both the Education Department and the Premier's Department and I would support any action taken by the P and C to obtain funds for what is obviously badly needed upgrading.

Queensland spends the least amount of money per capita on education of any State in Australia. This is totally inconsistent with the Premier's "everything is great in Sunshine State" mentality.

The future of our State, and indeed, our nation, is directly linked to the education of our young people today. The Labor Party is not prepared to squander that future.

The Labor Party has made clear commitments to upgrading education spending in Queensland.

I am working in conjunction with Member for Capricornia Keith Wright on a submission for "high top" at the Marlborough School.

At present, children in St Lawrence have to spend four hours a day travelling to high school at Sarina while Marlborough children spend two hours a day travelling to Rockhampton.

This is just another example of the National Party Government's failure to provide proper education facilities four country Queenslanders.

The tragedy of the education system in Queensland is that because of 30 years of neglect, there can be no instant remedy or magic wand, and any candidate who implies that he or she can work miracles is deliberately misleading the electors.

The promise I can make to the people of.

Broadsound is that education is a high priority, for me, personally, and for the ALP. I will assist P and Cs throughout the electorate to beat a path to the Minister's door and will forcefully argue submissions on their behalf ... and I'll take to task any bureaucrats who try to throw red tape in the way of education justice for this electorate.

0 By Denis Hinton National Party Broadsound candidate THE state of Yeppoon High School is an indictment of the representation of the sitting parliamentary member (Member for Callide Lindsay Hartwig) who, it appears, rarely visited the school over the past three years.

The concern of the parents and citizens' association is understandable and the school needs a new plan for redevelopment to meet future needs, as a matter of urgency.

I have contacted Education Minister Lin Powell requesting a Ministerial visit to the school after a preliminary inspection by officers of his department to ascertain priorities for expenditure and an overall plan for redevelopment.

Some areas, such as the Administration area, staff rooms and the chronic lack of space in areas such as the Science laboratory and Domestic Science, require major capital outlays.

A definite plan is needed rather than ad hoc measures.

I was impressed by some features, however, such as the Manual Arts section and also the Agricultural Science facilities which were a tribute to the efforts of the P and C. Once areas of prior need are established under an overall development plan, I will press for action by the Works and Housing Department, where the responsibility for expenditure actually lies.

I am confident that as government candidate and future government member that I am in the best position to be effective.

The present state of affairs could not demonstrate more decidedly the impotence of an independent member of parliament.

WILDINfor Broadsound A weekly column

by Councillor Barbara Wildin, Independent Candidate for Broadsound

DURING the following weeks I will be visiting all areas in the Broadsound electorate, listening to people and answering questions.

As an independent candidate, not controlled by obvious party policies, it is important that the people of Broadsound are given every opportunity to ask questions and express their views on their area's requirements.

I do not wish to clutter up mail-boxes and litter front lawns with campaign dodgers.

I believe personal communication is the most effective means of communication and intend to meet as many people as possible.

I do intend to call public meetings in as many areas as necessary to outline my policies and extend an invitation to all other candidates for Broadsound to take this opportunity to do the same.

Dates and places will be published in this column next week.

Wonderful family and community encouragement and support enables me to do what I am doing. Without that support especially from my husband John, and children, nothing would be possible, and makes even the thought of door-knocking and savage dogs more bearable.

- TODAY'S the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic at Yeppoon Kindergarten, Queen Street.

It starts at 11am and there will be stalls, displays by K & K Creative Toys and Garden Book Store as well as 'bears' from Calico Cottage.

A children's fashion show and Julie's.

Jazzers will provide some of the entertainment. , Remember, 'bears' can be entered in the bist dressed girl or boy teddy, most humourous teddy and the most unusual teddy.

The 'teddy' ad on this page was drawn by one of the organisers ... so you can imagine the quality of the stalls, etc. I wouldn't miss it for the world, besides, it was only a few years ago that my teddy went to the place where all good teddys go! o ❑ o DID you know that Haangi was spelt like that? Well, it's straight from a kiwi, so it must be right.

A `haangi' will be held tonight, Saturday, at the Patience Park property of John and Karen Geaney on Barmaryee Road.

The cost is very low ... $6 a double and $4 single.

The fun starts at 5.30pm and there will be a big bonfire. Now, it isn't cold this time of the year, but that bonfire sure will be well attended. You will also have a chance at a lucky door prize and there will be fun and games too.

The function to help with the improvements at Tyrer Park ... our racecourse. o o o

Bayview Tower News & Views 0 THIS is the first of

what will be a weekly column by Bayuiew Tower manager Enzo Rulli.

AS this is my first column in the Mirror let me say how thrilled I am to be now living on the Coast.

Time has certainly flown over the past few weeks. Setting up everything and doing all the necessary jobs to finish this wonderful complex.

I haven't had much free time to mix around and meet a lot of locals, but the way they have flocked to the functions here I am quite sure it won't take me long to become acquainted with everyone.

Giggle and Gossip proved to be a big success as did the Hair show for Miss Australia entrant Karen Leeson.

This week we have had a busy week with two conferences ... Telecom and Consolidated Fertilizers.

We have had lots of visitors also for the Karate Championships.

The sound of jazz must have been heaid all over Yeppoon on Monday. The pensioners had a great morning tea and could they sing! It was a lot of fun and laughter. Our thanks to the Metropolitan Permanent Building Society for the Metro Gnomes.

That's about all for this week. Bayroom Restaurant has been full nearly every night since it opened. And no wonder really ... did you know a three-course lunch here is only $900 and includes coffee? The Sails ALa-Carte Restaurant will be opened within the next two weeks, also The Deck area will be in full swing ... everyone will be able to have a rage.

Bayview Tower Yeppoon's newest Quality Motel has everything you'd expect.

Cheers!

JAMES Guild annual flower show and fete will be held in Yeppoon Town Hall on Saturday, September 6 starting at 2pm.

preferences that gave him the seat.

Too, Alan "worked his butt off" and "put his money where his mouth was" for four years for his party and in that time nearly doubled the branch membership, whereas the "successful" candidate, Hartwig, turned his attention to Livingstone Shire Council and what a mess he made of that ... twice ignoring a democratic vote of 7-6 and rushing off to see Racing Minister Russ Hinze, finally advising him to sack the council and put in an administrator.

Thank goodness he was "unsuccessful" in getting his way in the light of recent events in LSC! (Where is Mrs Mather these days?)

In all of this Alan played a leading part as chairman of the National Party branch.

Finally, in pre-selection, he had an ample majority in the first rounds but preferences from unknown sources denied him the place.

Surely in a country so devoted to sport a little commiseration- instead of vituperation would not be unseemly?

Take bow Stevo for backbone

Fast Food * Chickens * Bait * Fish 'n' Chips *

TO THE readers of P Vaughan's negative derogation on Alan Stevenson last week.

Let's consider the true positives Alan 'has been' during his varied and professional life in specialised fields which require brains as well as integrity.

Politics and council aside (I'm sure the 'knockers' have written in) they are not the point I wish to make here.

How refreshing it is to meet a man of Alan's calibre who is not slothful in business, who is fervent and cheerful in spirit (irregardless) and who is incredibly patient in tribulation.

This Alan 'has been' and does. He has generated kindness and practical help to so countless many who have gone to him for assistance and advice over the years (which he typically doesn't advertise, of course).

So from those who know the depth of the man and the principles he stands for ... we sure wish there were more of him around.

So stand up and take a bow Stevo ... you've got what it takes — backbone!

— Kerry Burns, Yeppoon.

Who's the loser?

WRITING letters to the editor has always been abhorrent to me, but one cannot let the unchristian, vindictive, personal attack on Alan Stevenson pass without comment.

It is the writer's privilege to comment on opinions and items, etc, with which they disagree. However, this article abused the privilege of using the editor's column to try to destroy another person's creditability and pride.

Who is the loser I wonder?

The writer (or is it writers), I feel, have lost their right of "casting the first stone".

— Pat Andersen, P 0 Box 297, Yeppoon.

Majority view...

WOULD you be kind enough to print the following comments on the position of independents versus party political affiliations.

To me being a party member means that a group of people with mainly similar ideals meet and discuss ideas and problems at general meeting places and after discussion and debate hold a vote to determine the majority point of view. After that vote they act as one in public which gives a united point of view for all others to make judgement on. This principle applies, I think, to all major political parties.

I know that many of the things talked about by others concerning the National Party and the so-called standover by the management committee of the party is not true and is many times slanted to a particular point of view by other parties and in some cases by journalists to make a good story.

I guess the same things can be said by other parties and their management.

So-called independents area different thing altogether.

They don't have the benefit of a itual congregation. They don't have the of conflicting points of view at party room

Council defers groyne COUNCIL has deferred a proposed groyne for Yeppoon Beach.

The matter was deferred because Kinka Beach and stabilisation of Shoal Creek outlet is council's priority on the five-year loan programme.

No work for Kerr Street WORKS sought by a resident for Kerr Street, Yeppoon, will not be carried out.

A resident drew council's attention to the state of the guttering in Kerr Street on the odd-numbered down-hill side of the street.

Council was asked to carry out repairs and also give consideration to the kerbing and channelling of "this side of the street".

Council decided that this matter not be further considered for this year's budget and. further, that the resident be advised that he request has not been included in this year's, budget but will be given consideration in the budget for the next financial year.

Rural roads priorities TANBY, Stanage Bay and Milman Roads are the council's priorities for work on local rural roads.

Council set its road priorities as Tanby Road, from the roundabout through to Braithwaite Street, to Adelaide Park Road; Stanage Bay Road, starting from the highway and Milman Road.

Council decided to write to the MRD asking it investigate the design at the junction of Mulara and Rockhampton Roads with a view to allowing a by-passing lane similar to the entrance to Lovendee Estate, at both ends.

rTERS TO THE EDITOR LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LETTERS TO THE EDITOR meetings. Most of their causes are settled on by listening to pressure groups. And, in many instances, taking the line of least resistance. independents have to be able to withstand `..critic pressures at times. When they are asked by a big party to vote one way or another the temptation to waver from their principles must be terrific. You see, they have no peer group to turn to for support.

The thought of independents having the balance of power in any government is frightening when ,.all the implications are thought out.

I would be happy to discuss the above points with anyone in any sane atmosphere, including letters to the editor, but I will not enter in persohality assassination.

SHIRE COUNCIL BUDGET IN BRIEF

Bowls parking out CONSIDERATION will be given in next financial year's budget for provision of dustfree carparking at Yeppoon Bowls Club, especially the area facing John Street.

Council decided not to consider the matter in this year's budget after discussing a letter from a nearby resident.

Causeway amenity block CAUSEWAY Progress Association sent comments to council on eight matters affecting the area but only one was given consideration by council.

The association's letter commented on the need for a pedestrian walkway on the Causeway bridge; the shortage of amenities blocks; erosion of the lake; the need for upgrading of Pinnacle Street; picnic and recreational needs; attention to the boat ramp; picnic facilities along the Coast and the condition of existing signs.

Council decided that improvements proceed for the existing amenity block at the Causeway Picnic area and that at present, no new amenity block be provided.

There were no recommendations regarding the other matters.

However the Emu Park National Party branch also wrote to council about a walkway across the Causeway lake and expressed concern that nothing had been done.

Council decided that it would write to the oranch explaining that council had done everything possible to have the job completed.

Council also suggested the branch make direct representation to the Main Roads Department.

collections for the museums, art gallery and library ... the major items, and as the centre will also maintain a theatre and demonstration complex resources must be recruited.

There's a wealth of people's literature, poetry and songs 'out there' of the people and of the spirit of the. bush, and we need to do something to save it for future generations. This is one way we can do it.

While we're offering annual memberships for $20, life memberships for $300 and patron memberships for $1000, we're also very appreciative of any general contribution where people aren't considering membershipr,--- (All contributions are tax deductible.)

Our dinner is really a social occasion ... a chance to get to know other supporters of this fine concept of national pride.

The basic contributions have been sent out.

We hope we've reached a core of people who will muster support by organising other supporters. Any person wishing to join us please ring Jean 39 1413, Stephanie 39 6217 or Mary 39 4243.

Acceptances and donations are steadily coming and we're sure we will have a tremendous night, and a full house, on Friday, September 26 at Bayview Tower, Yeppoon at 7pm.

The highlight of the night will be a special audio-visual programme including 700 slides, commissioned by the committee and brought from Sydney for the occasion.

The theme song "They never saw themselves as heroes and we owe them all a debt we can't repay" seems to say it all.

We look forward to as many supporters as possible on September 26.

Pensioners and LSC meet over crossway need LIVINGSTONE Shire chairman Cr John Bowen and shire engineer Pat Murphy met representatives of the Yeppoon Pensioners' League last Thursday to discuss a proposed pedestrian crossway from James Street through to Normanby Street across Beaman Park.

Cr Bowen later addressed the 52 members who attended the meeting on the Premier's Awards to be made in conjunction with Senior Citizens' Week to be held state-wide from October 6 to 10. The meeting later nominated three members from within the league and three from outside.

Seagulls call for supports to help them into '86 league grand final

â?‘ ABOVE: Holding their prize fish aloft are (back row) Bryan Bird, Ronald Kershaw, Bradley Wiltshire, Dale Mullholland, Catherine Nankeruis and Barry Hoare and (front row) Neil Cullen, Serena Sipple, Scott Sipple, Brendan Teeney and Fiona Cumming (winner of the $5 open order for most fish).

Perfect break from school...fishin' KIDS that take a day off school are often thought to have gone fishing ... and, for 11 Yeppoon Special Education Unit children that's just how they spent a break from studies this week.

The pupils, all from Years 3._to 7, were.

COUNCIL BUDGET IN BRIEF

Causeway bridge works A TOTAL of $48,000 has been budgetted for the construction of approaches to the.

Causeway Lake bridge.

This will be made up of $24,000 each from divisions one and two. Also, Community.

Employment Programme (CEP) grants have been included in the costing.

Council will write to the Main Roads Department advising it of council's decision "that for safety reasons, council has budgetted for the construction of the approaches to the Causeway Bridge".

Further, council will advise the MRD it expects it to deal with the overdue problem of the bridge itself.

Council also decided to write to Member for Capricornia Keith Wright stating that council is now taking him up on the CEP suggestion and that it has budgetted for the approaches.

Construction will take place during the coming year. Council "expects his full support in bringing the CEP scheme to fruition".

Also dealing with the Causeway area, council allocated $1500 to cover: gravelling the boat ramp; extending the storm water pipe and sanding the beach.

taken on a fishing excursion to Ross Creek. as part of Disability Awareness Week.

It wasn't a full day away from school but, armed with rods or hand lines in the warm sunshine, it was a day a thousands miles from care.

A fishing inspector might have expected some of the catches to be returned to the sea a little more promptly than they were ... but those kids certainly proved there's fish in Ross Creek.

To give the excursion the competitive spirit, their teachers organised a prize of a $5 open order from Brian Fuller's Yeppoon Sports and Tackle for the most fish caught.

Fiona Cumming took the prize with seven steelbacks ... and a toad.

Though defeated last Sunday in a hardfought game by only four points, Yeppoon Rugby League Seagulls are not yet finished.

Tomorrow (Sunday) the Seagulls are back at Browne Park to play Norths and decide who will meet the invincible Fitzroys in the grand final of the Rockhampton League competition, Last Sunday Yeppoon was matched against Fitzroys who have been undefeated throughout the season, and retained that status after one of the best matches to be seen all year.

Fitzroys opened the score when the Green's and CQ's speedy winger, Russell Miller, intercepted a pass and raced nimbly to go over.

Selwyn Pickering converted and it was 6-0 against the Seagulls.

Yeppoon retaliated when some hard battling for possession occurred near Fitzroys try line.

Steve Stafford couldn't make it after getting ball from Ian Brazier. Geoff Evans came to the rescue, and kicking forward managed to get the ball over the line, and John Jenkins converted.

The score was 6-all.

Fitzroys ruffled Seagulls feathers when Greg Lawton took a pass from Stan Jarrett, made a dash over half the field. Pickering missed the goal.

Yeppoon quickly retaliated when Ian Brazier scored a magniticent try and Jenkins added the extra points, so that Yeppoon led 12-10 when referee Ward blew the half time whistle.

Undoubtedly Russell Miller was Yeppoon's nemesis, securing his second try quickly after they were back on the paddock. Pickering converted and the score was 16-12 against the Seagulls. It fired the Seagulls to another fierce attack. Shane Weir, who had replaced injured Rob Hansen prior to half time, charged over the line to equalise the score at 16-all.

The fired-up Fitzroys had no intention of easing up and after some excellent work by Russell Kemp, Marshall Leisha showed his skill in receiving a pass and went over to put Fitzroys four ahead.

Haunting Yeppoon's strong attacking efforts again was Russell Miller, who made a dash to achieve another try, which was converted by Pickering.

The outlook was gloomy for the Coast boys but the scent of battle spurred them on. Gavin

Match of the day in daytime squash KAREN Wood and Penny Munn provided the 'match of the day' at the Capricorn Coast Squash Centre on Wednesday in the Ladies Daytime fixtures.

The match went Penny's way with a 3-2 win, but Karen put up a great effort.

Wiseman, who had replaced Paul Boyd after Boyd's vigorous play throughout the game, secured a try after lead-up work from Brazier and Troy Evans. This brought the score to 2622, which was the final score for the game.

Seagulls' supporters lamented hard work by Tony Orgill and Bruce Campbell, when Campbell went over the line but was held up.

The failure to ground the ball lost at least four valuable points.

The team: S Stafford, J Pidgeon, C Lennox, R Hansen, D McCosker, G Evans, J Jenkins, I Brazier, T Orgill, P Boyd, R Duncan (c), T Evans, B Campbell; reserves, G Wiseman, S Weir, A White, M D Hollywood, M Stafford and G Orr. After another week of solid training the Seagulls will be back at Browne Park tomorrow (Sunday) to play Norths in the match of the day at 3pm.

A strong contingent of supporters, including ex-international John Rhodes, vocally assisted the Seagulls. Another big crowd of supporters is expected this weekend to again urge on Yeppoon.

Exciting games in table tennis THERE were a number of exciting games in the Yeppoon Table Tennis fixtures played c Thursday, August 21.

Marvels had a close 6-5 win over Dolphins in their match ... Marvels' number one Monica Christensen defeated Joe Kruger in two games, even though Joe seemed to have the upper hand most of the way in the second game.

Joan Rodger and Bill Sherlock had a long hard battle, however Bill eventually won in the third. Dolphin's number three player Rhett Watson showed great form to defeat Scott Malick in two games that both went to 22-20.

The two sets of doubles went to three close games each. In the first set, Monica and Joan won the first game quite comfortably, however Joe and Bill came from way behind in the second to take the game 22-20.

There was a narrow finish in the last game which went to Monica and Joan.

The second set of doubles was just as close.

After winning a game each, Monica and Scott came from 16-19 to take the third game off Joe and Rhett, 24-22. Both Rhett and Scott played well in the doubles.

On the other table, Rockets had an easy win over Dynamics, 8-3. Both number one players, David Stewart and Rob Green brought out some good shots, however David managed a' few more and won in the third 21-16.

Rocket's second player, Dave Ryan, defeated Mick Malick, who was standing in for Terry Ward and, when doubled with David, went on to beat Rob and Mick in the first set of doubles.

Rhodes Watson just managed to get the better of Peter Malick when he won 21-16 and 24-22. The second set of doubles was close, with Rob and Peter just going down to David and Rhodes in the third game 21-19.

The draw for Thursday, September 4, is Bog Factory vs Dynamics; Rockets vs Dolphins and Marvels have a bye. _

Danny was unable to work up any pace and as the ball cooled the accurate positional play was devastating.

Great t•me

THE first Queensland Inter-schools Karatedo Championships and the 10th All Queensland Karate-do championships to be held in Yeppoon this weekend have attracted more than 250 competitors.

Karateka from as far north as Townsville, as far west as Longreach and as far south as Kyogle, will be competing over the next two days.

Queensland JKA championships have such a high reputation that they often attract interstate competitors. This year both Sydney and Adelaide have sent a team.

JKA Australia has reached a milestone. For the first time, school students will have their own championships instead of competing at an open level. This is entirely due to the overwhelming support karate has received in Central Queensland schools.

Organisers hope this will set a precedent for the rest of Australia.

Most competitors have already been in

Yeppoon for two days, training under Australia's chief instructor, Takahashi Sensei, 6th dan. He visits Australia twice a year to train and grade students and to officiate at State and National championships.

About 40 Yeppoon karate students were graded on Tuesday night. Takahashi Sensei was impressed with the standards displayed by all students. He has often said Australian karateka are second only to Japanese.

This has inspired a lot of Yeppoon students to train hard for the world championships to be held in Brisbane in 1988. There are hopes of returning to Yeppoon with gold.

Central Queensland has always dominated State and National championships and organisers are hoping this region's champions retain their titles.

JKA Australia president (and deputy State Opposition leader) Tom Burns will be the official guest and Livingstone Shire deputy chairman Cr Keith Hinchliffe will represent the shire.

ACI Swans A grade team travelled to Boyne Island on Saturday to play Parkhurst in the knockout semi final.

Yeppoon rose to the occasion and recorded a fine victory winning the match by 47 points.

The day started with a players breakfast held at Yeppoon Showgrounds.

Although it was a fine day there was a blustery wind blowing across the ground and it was thought this would cause some problems.

Yeppoon was puickly into attack but many shots at goal went astray and the Swans led by only 14 points at the first break.

The second term followed the pattern of the first with neither side being able to gain a clear advantage. Both sides kicked four goals for the quarter but Yepoon was off target with five behinds to only one by Parkhurst.

The Kemp brothers, Darren and Gary, have been good players for Yeppoon, as have Mark Taylor and Greg Brown in defence and Chris Bourke on the ball. The Swans were unlucky to lose Greg Williams with concussion.

At the half time break Yeppoon led by 18 points and appeared to have the measure of Parkhurst.

An even third quarter saw both teams kick three goals and with only 20 points separating them, the stage was set for a great last quarter.

The last quarter proved to be the most uneven of the game. .

Swans ran away, kicking seven goals to three to run . out victors by 47 points.

Tke (welt ei ❑ 'Old Baldy' (John Watson) has taken over this column to say goodbye to a man •he admired ...Bernie Elsey. The late Mr Elsey's contribution to Queensland tourism should not be forgotten as this region strives for national and international recognition.

BERNIE ELSEY died this week and, for so many people around Australia, the news must have made them pause and think of the man they knew.

He was known to tens of thousands of

everyday Australians ... the man they met or, possibly, just saw, when they had their holiday at Surfers Paradise.

He was a likeable man; easy to meet, easy to talk with and, on most occasions, easy to deal with.

For many people, just being credited with one idea would be enough reason to sit back and bask in glory ... but Bernie had three ideas that he saw through to fruition.

The first was the pyjama parties of the '50s on the Gold Coast. They made nationwide headlines and made the Gold Coast famous (or notorious?)

His second idea was the start of, the Meter Maids, those beautiful golden girls in their golden bikinis who became the Gold Coast's symbol.

(The Surfers Paradise Progress Association, of which Bernie was president, paid the girls from money subscribed weekly by business people).

His third idea was the creation of Daydream Island, which he kicked off in the late '60s. (Daydream had been a 'resort' before World War II but the expected Japanese invasion had shut it down).

In between these three ideas, Bernie never rested. He built the Beachcombers at Surfers and Coolangatta, converted' James Cavill's (remember Cavill Avenue in Surfers?) home at Narrowneck into Ski Lodge, and built Tiki Village on the Surfers' riverfront.

He also dabbled (very briefly) in a newspaper in Surfers and generally found ways of promoting the Gold Coast. Along the way, he created a lot of employment and, no doubt, made a lot of money for himself ... but no-one could deny his contribution to tourism in Queensland.

There are three stories I know about Bernie that I like to recall ... the first was how, one night, when pressed to drink a champagne toast at Tiki Village, he first added sugar to the champagne glass, stirred, tasted; then added salt, stirred, tasted ... and still decided he didn't like the taste.

Then there was his "cure" for lung cancer: it seems that back in the '30s Bernie had, as an way of making a quid, rolled and packaged cigarettes and flogged them to all and sundry. That gave him an insight into the cigarette industry.

The result was that he was convinced he knew why cigarettes were blamed for lung cancer ... it was because tests carried out by "smoking machines" sucked on the cigarettes from the wrong end.

Because of this, "something" that was in cigarettes made them look like they caused lung cancer.

And the third memory? Being photographed in the nude with him on Sunlovers' Beach, Daydream Island before it was completely built.

Bernie took photographer Les Simons and me to Daydream to view the resort in the "formative stage". We were housed in luxury suites which, because they had not been completed, were actually concrete dungeons with no windows and bare concrete floors, walls and ceilings ... and it rained for three solid days.

In the only letup, he took us around the island in his boat and described, for the first time, his plan for a nudist beach (this was in 1968, possibly even 1967).

At the beach he stripped off and invited me to do the same so we could be photographed for the paper (Surfers Paradise Mirror).

Shy, and not knowing what to do, I told -him I couldn't appear nude in my own paper "because too many people know me".

His reply was pure Bernie: "Don't you think there's a few back there who might know me?"

I stripped and I still have the pic ... both of us lying face down on Sunlovers' Beach ... taken from about 100 metres away by a photographer who used 1000th of a second to stop blur caused by his laughter!

Perhaps that's the best way to. remember Bernie Elsey ... a man who `-ought a lot of laughter to a lot of people/
