Pineapple Festival fun packs into new format A REVAMPED five-day format for the Pineapple Festival has packed the fun and excitement into a shorter period culminating this weekend.

The highlight, the Pineapple Festival procession, starts its trek through Yeppoon today, (Saturday) at 1pm.

It marks the 21st time Coast businesses and • organisations have dressed up for the crowds.

The festival is like a seed that grew and blossomed into something visitors and Coast people look forward to each year.

One of the organisers, Cr Brian Dorey, said he expected this festival to be bigger and better than past years.

Although the same number of decorated floats is expected, a bigger representation of business houses is anticipated.

Cr Dorey said at lot of interest was being shown in this year's festival and "all the

PANCAKES Savoury and Sweet from...S3

community is talking about it".

Both visitors and locals enjoy seeing the many colourful floats swoop past, many carrying Pineapple Princesses.

At one stage in the past, the festival took 10 days from start to finish, but the organisers, Yeppoon Lions Club, revamped it this year to contain it within five days.

The festival has already been underway three days. The official opening was held on Wednesday during the Capricorn Society of Arts Exhibition, which continues until today.

Pets galore, weird and wonderful, were presented for judging during the week and, for the gardeners, a day-long garden and trade-fair was popular on Wednesday.

A beachfront Mardi Gras, on Friday night, ended with a fireworks display and kept the crowd entertained for hours.

This morning (Saturday) entertainment starts with a 9.30am fashion parade in Save-

more Centre followed by another Mardi Gras, until 4pm, in Beaman Park.

At midday, all the fun of woodchops comes to a head when S400 over four sections is up for grabs.

The annual procession sets out at 1pm followed by Woody's 1000 at 2pm.

The big moment for the nine young princesses is the crowning of the Pineapple Queen and Charity Queen during the Calypso Cabaret tonight.

Another feature will be Brisbane-based band Trinidad Calypso which will entertain during the weekend.

Sunday is for the 'big-kids' who enjoy fun, laughter and games.

A treasure hunt, crab race, scallop-peeling competition, beach-game bonanza including sand shovelling, hole filling and crazy ball games, will entertain for hours.

The festival closes at 4.30pm, Sunday.

. SIXTEEN Coast Vietnam Veterans headoff this weekend for their welcome home march in Sydney ... also to meet mates not seen since returning from the conflict.

Some travelled by train, others caught buses or planes and some drove. Some will share this moment with their families; others have decided to march alone.

Half of the veterans are members of the newly-formed Legion on the Coast and the others are Coast residents.

A full programme of events has been organised for the weekend which started last night with unit smokos (reunions) at different Returned Service League clubs in Sydney.

There will be an early start today with a 4.30am dawn service at the Sydney Cenotaph.

Veterans will begin to muster in their individual units to prepare for the march, which is expected to begin about 9am.

At 2pm, the main reunion for all veterans will start and will finish later tonight.

After church services on Sunday, many veterans will attend a concert at the Domain.

Monday has been set aside for tours and other activities but many Coast veterans will begin their return journey.

...AND LIVINGSTONE DECLINES DEAR Mr Wright, Confirming our telephone advice to your office of the 28th instant, the council declines to accept your kind invitation to attend the airport meeting on the 30th instant as it is of the opinion that neither the timing nor the present exchanges of opinion in the media are conducive to unbiased and constructive consideration of this matter.

Air transportation facilities are under consideration within the scope of the draft strategic plan for the Shire of Livingstone and it would be premature to make any comment prior to the completion of investigations or the tabling of this document during the public consultation

process, which we envisage will occur in approximately two month's time.

In the absence of any specific airport development proposal within our shire, or of any suitable consultative planning forum sponsored by the State and Federal Governments to discuss such facilities, we see little merit in an exchange of opinions on these matters.

A copy of this communication is being made available to local media and organisations on the the Coast to clarify the council's reticence to become involved in public debate on the matter.

Yours faithfully, A J Brown, shire clerk.

He said the Coast airport could have a positive effect on air traffic flow through Rockhampton rather than destroy its viability.

His statement on Wednesday night was made after the special meeting he called in Rockhampton. He said he had talked with State Ansett Airlines head Jack Carman, and council and tourist leaders during the week.

These talks had clarified the situation and "put what could prove to be a completely different scenario on the issue".

GRAVEL-LADDER SEMI MOUNTS TANDEM TRAILER Tanby Rd traffic flow delayed after accident A SEMI-TRAILER laden with gravel drove over the top of a tandem trailer carrying a new Bobcat on Tuesday afternoon on Tanby Road.

Coast resident Dave Kershaw said he was lucky to escape injury when thesemi mounted the trailer he was towing as he was turning into his home.

Police said the accident occurred about 4pm and traffic was impeded until the truck and trailer and semi-trailerwere removed from the road.

The accident happened 3.5km from the Tanby Road roundabout along the Tanby Road while Mr Kershaw was turning into his property when returning from a job with the three-day-old, $37,500 Bobcat.

The semi-trailerwas driven by West Moreton Transport employee Tony Murray.

Mr Kershaw said he saw the semi was going to mount the back of histrailer so he tried to speed up his turn.

The semi drove up the side of the trailer, twisting ramps at the rear, apparently hit the tines on the Bobcat's bucket and continued across the trailer until it cleared it.

Mr Kershaw said the semi's right front tyre blew out when it hit the tines and the next tyre on the right side was slashed and the rim bent.

The semi's right-hand-side diesel fuel tank was holed and buckled. The force of the impact ' sheared off three stub axles on the tandem trailer:blew out one tyre, twisted loading ramps and bent the tow ball on the towing truck.

The sealed road was gouged so deeply the gravel beneath was exposed in parts.

Mr Kershaw said he saw the impending accident and braced himself as best he could ... flooring the accelerator to try and avoid the collision.

He said on Wednesday the six-month old trailer would need repairs totalling $2500 and his near-new Bobcat needed for his business would cost $3000 to repair bent lift arms.

Mr Murray said that at the time of the accident he was carrying a load of gravel which was to be taken to a site along Rockhampton Road.

• The graVel was destined to be part of a Main Roads Departmentstockpile being used for the fotir-lane road around the Bluff.

He estimated his total weight would have been 18 tonnes.

Neither driver was injured.

Mr Kershaw said he would continue his Bobcat work but expected problems until both trailer and machine were repaired.

A Main Roads Department spokesman, Peter Evans, said the West Moreton Transport had been carting road base from the Nerirnbera quarry for the gravel supplier contracted by Main Roads.

Mr Evans said stockpiling started about one week ago and would account for any increased traffic along Tanby Road.

EMU PARK SES SITE THE State Emergency Service has been granted a site at Emu Park.

Member for Broadsound Denis Hinton said he had received approval from Deputy Premier Bill Gunn for Livingstone Shire to use Police Reserve 8324 as a site for the SES operations centre in Emu Park.

Dreamworld complex buys Cooberrie Park THE huge Dreamworld complex on the Gold Coast has bought one of the Capricorn Coast's biggest tourist attractions, Cooberrie Park.

It was due to change hands on Thursday.

Dreamworld managing direct or Wes Hepburn confirmed the company had contracted to buy the park but said it was premature to talk about its future until the settlement date.

However he did say "no plans had been made for the immediate future until assesments are made".

Mr Hepburn said it could take two months before any decision was given by Dreamworld's directors about the park.

He said the Dreamworld had felt it would be good to acquire Cooberrie Park and this was the main reason for buying the land.

Dreamworld is buying out Robb and Joan Christensen who, when contacted on Wednesday, said they weren't prepared to comment because settlement was still a day away.

A grade squash THE Capricorn Coast Squash Club Closed Championships were held on Wednesday night during the school holidays.

Good entries were recieved for all grades, including the new "Ladies Only", except for B grade.

Results in all grades were much as preducted with seeded playersmeeting in the finals.

Despite this, there were some good individual performances turned in by unseeded players who found the experience of benefit to their game.

One player unavoidably absent this year, after contesting the A grade for the previous 10 years, was John Briggs.

The A grade games did not lack interest, with Neil Roberts extending Tony Smith to four in the first semi-final. Brett Stewart fired in the second semi to nail Clay Nothling in three.

Brett found Tony to be .too consistent and accurate for him in a match final that delighted the gallery with long rallies and someimpromptu shots.'

Results. A grade club champion Tony Smith, runner up. Brett Stewart, plate event Danny Taylor.

SUMMER means many things, fun, games and plenty of sun, but for the Coast's Fire Brigade and rural fire brigades, it can be a battle with many potentially dangerous fires.

The dangers associated with bushfires was highlighted on the weekend when the Cooberrie Rural Fire Brigade was called to watch a fire which posed a threat to houses at Farnborough.

The fire raged for a day in a 200 hectare area, bounded by Farnborough Road, the Capricorn Iwasaki Drive and Hinz Avenue.

Rural Fire brigade members were called out at 5.45am on Saturday to watch the fire's progress.

It is believed to have started out as a spark from burning-off being done in the area on the previous day.

The fire was considered safe by 11.30pm, although members continued to check its progress through the nights.

Brigade volunteer Bruce Barnett said although no property or houses were damaged,

people still had to be safe when burning off due to the absence of a wet season and dry conditions.

Mr Barnett said people should check to see yards were free of any combustible materials which could add fuel to any fire.

He said the fire danger could be highlighted by records, from about four years ago, which show fires have started each year around September 26, 27 and 28.

Each year, for some reason, the Cooberrie fire brigade has been called to attend fires in the area.

The way the fires have started each year differ and Mr Barnett said it heightened the need for fire-safety during September and the following summer months.

RoCkhampton chief fire brigade officer George Grassie said all householders and property owners should be aware the Coast and other regions were in a high danger period.

He said with the summer season nearing, and until rain falls, the possibility of fires was high.

Precautions should be taken to ensure fires were properly doused with water and- people should rid yards of any combustible items.

One way of combating fires is to hold meetings and show films. The Cooberrie Rural Fire Brigade is holding a meeting at Farnborough State Primary School on Wednesday, October 21, starting at 7.30pm.

All property owners and residents in the area are welcome and advised to attend the meeting which will help familiarise people with the brigade and how it can help in an fire-emergency. *Mr Barnett said a major percentage of people were fire-safety conscious and were willing to assist wherever possible during an emergency.

War pension aid VETERAN Affairs Department officer John McDonough will be available for interviews on Monday, October 12, in the Yeppoon Returned Service League Hall from 8.30am to 10.30am.

Anyone with problems about pensions (disability, war), housing or any other problem involved with Veteran Affairs is welcome to see Mr McDonough.

* ABOVE: When someone takes out a life insurance policy it's not often they get to claim it but 95- year-old Coast resident John Broome has outlived the policy he started in 1932. Mr Broome this week achieved the milestone on the anniversary of taking out the AMP life insurance policy 55 years ago. He was originally covered for 100 pounds, starting with a yearly premium of three pounds, five shillings. Yeppoon AMP agent John Rhodes presented Mr Broome with a $1215.80 cheque and pen and pencil set during a short ceremony at the Broome's house.

Karlene braves lions for money QUEENSLAND Spastic Welfare League Quest entrant Karlene McDonald endured not one, but two sessions in Perry Brothers Circus' lion cage while the tamer ran through his act.

Karlene made two trips into the ring, the first on Saturday night and the second on Sunday, to raise funds to help pay for the Trinidad Calypso = Band which is appearing during the Mardi Gras.

Her mother, Barbara McDonald, helped organise Karlene's trip into the lions' cage and said the crowd response had been excellent.

After collections were made upon the completion of each act Karlene raised about $200.

The first trip raised $101 and the second $99.

The idea was first raised after Mrs McDonald saw an advertisement for the Lions club about the circus. It asked for volunteers to help raise money by walking into the lions' cage during a performance.

Karlene jumped at the opportunity of raising money in an unusual way and, after checking . with the Lions club, arranged to make the daring plunge. said at both sessions Karlene . M McDonald .. , f walk hto the cage and stood near the door, where e lion-tamer's assistant usually stood.

J She said Karlene was excited during the first session but was frightened before the second performance.

I However, Karlene ended up enduring both :.sessions and stood inside the cage while the lion-tamer did his full act.

Now that it's over Karlene said she probably ,wouldn't attempt such a feat again but had the g advantage of doing something not many people would dare think about.

Nine princesses await pineapple judges' decision NINE Coast girls have taken up the annual Pineapple Queen challenge and thisweekend they find out who will take out the quest and charity sections.

Yeppoon Lioness club members have organised the quest since the festival's started 21 years ago.

Spokesman Jackie Hole said it was always a delight for the club to be involved with the Pineapple Queen Quest.

The nine entrants, called princesses, have already had two lodgings this week ... one on Sunday and another on Tuesday night at Kanangra restaurant.

"We are always proud to see Coast princesses of this standard because they are an essential part of the festival," Mrs Hole said.

"They have sponsors and other supporters who take an active interest in them. Without the quest, or the princesses, a lot of people wouldn't be interested in the festival," she said.

Mrs Hole said it was to a girl's advantage to enter the quest because "even if they don't win, only good can come from taking part".

The princesses represent eight Coast organisations and businesses, and one Wowan business.

Three girls have also nominated for the charity queen, which is determined by money raised.

The princesses will be judged on deportment, diplomacy and charm.

"This year's princesses are of the same high standard displayed in past years, and only praise can be extended to them," Mrs Hole said.

The 1987 Pineapple Festival Princesses are: * Florist Tanya Benson, 18, sponsored -by Tanby Roses; likes sailing, stamp collecting and cycling. * Student Tanya Drost, 17, sponsored by Yeppoon State High School; likes indoor cricket, reading and swimming. * Shop assistant Maree Wordley, 17, sponsored by Yeppoon Lioness Club; likes wind surfing, horse riding and indoor cricket. * Student Natalie Dooley, 19, sponsored by Capricorn School of Dancing; likes karate, ballet and basketball. * Sales assistant Loretta Bishton, 18, sponsored by Yeppoon Lions Club; likes swimming, meeting people, cooking and dancing. * Bank officer Kim Besley, 19, sponsoredby Yeppoon Rotaract Club; Ickes community work, tennis and reading. * Shop assistant Wilma Vaughan, 19, sponsored by Scope Club; likes sewing and playing the guitar. * Receptionist Stacey Dale, 24, sponsored by the Capricorn Coast Tourist Organisation; likes water ski-ing, aerobics, swimming and meeting people. * Hairdresser Kelli Rankin, 19, sponsored

by J Rankin and Sons, Wowan; likes hockey and swimming.

AN obstacle course to test skill, speed and fitness, attracted 24 Coast teams in the Woody's 1000 on the weekend ... eight teams are now through to Saturday's final.

The inaugural Woody's 1000, with prizemoney totalling $1200, will be up for grabs during festivities in the Yeppoon business centre today (Saturday), at 2pm.

Heats were held on the weekend and 24 teams of three were brave enough to test their skills at the obstacle course.

Each team was timed and those clocking in under five minutes qualified for the finals.

The other teams have the consolation of knowing there's always next year.

Part of this epic obstacle course involved pineapples. The idea was for the teams to pack a set amount of pineapples in a crate while being timed.

It was a case of going over and under hurdles; under a fish net; through a set of tyres; scaling a net and running as fast as possible.

Mr Wood's said he was pleased with the turn-out of contestants and spectators.

Woody's Convenience Store now plans to make it an annual event. Besides the main prize of $1000, there is a carved wooden pineapple with a shield, and medallions, to be presented to the winners.

Eight teams qualed for the final: fastest qualifiers Bungundarra Raiders with a time of 4.28 mins; US, 4.32 mins; Sapphires, 4.32 mins; Tripods, 4.38 mins; Smashers, 4.44 mins; Valley Syndicate, 4.45 mins; Spastic Welfare, 4.49 mins; Beachside 66, 4.50 mins.

A justified drink IT'S not otten someone has to take a drink as part of a competition but the Pineapple Festival's Wheelbarrow Race today (Saturday) includes four 'compulsory' stops for refreshment.

The race starts at 11.30am in front of the Railway Hotel. Teams of two, one pushing a barrow and the other in it, must drink a small cup of beer before setting off on the first leg.

It's a mad dash to the Pacific and Club Hotels, stopping for refreshments at both places, before the final drink outside the Strand, which is about one kilometre from the start.

No entry fee is needed for this competition and it is only one of the many activities to watch or join.

Tropical theme THE tropical theme will be highlighted during the Capricorn Tourism and Development Organisation's day-long promotions in Normanby Street today (Saturday).

CTDO Yeppoon branch secretary Chi Chi Murray said the northern side of Normanby Street, between Hill Street and Adelaide Park Road, would be closed from 10am to 3pm.

Mrs Murray said CTDO memberswould be cooking a smorgasbord of finger-food satay, hamburgers and steakburgers.

Fashions galore can be seen during the Temptations and Calypso Boutique's fashion parade starting at 11.30am.

Chi Chi Murray's School of Physical Education dancers will open and close the'Parade while members of Brisbane band Trinidad Calypso will be escorting the models onto the catwalk.

The group will also be available for autographs.

Mrs Murray said the C IDO's idea was to promote businesses on the beach end of Normanby Street and to create atmosphere during the festival.

*ABOVE: While the Mitiphys'talk of theprogress in YeppOon, this is a picture from theirphoto album that many fonner pupils will recall ... St Faith's Church of England Girls' School, Yeppoon.

Murphys sell newsagencies after 19 years...and recall friendliness NEWS and travel agents John and Kath Murphy have watched almost 20 years of steady growth in Yeppoon and said this week that despite the changes, the friendliness of the people is still the same.

They were recalling their first memories of Yeppoon on the day they handed over their two newsagencies, Yeppoon News and Savemore News, to new owners Noel and Patricia Ward, from the Gold Coast.

The sale ended their association with the newsagencies after "19 years and 21 days".

They will; continue in business with their Yeppoon Travel Agency and Avis car rental business.

They took over Yeppoon News on September 1, 1968, buying the business (then in what is now the Reef and Beef) from Reg and Audrey Abel.

They later moved the newsagency to its existing premises when they bought Bill and Fay Arnold's travel agency and toy shop, and consolidated all three.

Recalling those days this week, the Murphys said when they arrived from Brisbane there were no shops over the road in NormanbyStreet ... but there was a bankvault where the Kavlon Cinema now stands.

There was no bank there; just a vault.

Apparently, when the then Bank of NSW moved to its exisiting premises (Westpac), the old bank was demolished, but the vault must have proved harder to shift.

The other buildings on the other side of Normanby Street was the late "Fairy" Harris' picture theatre, where Evia stands today, and Tidewater Motel, owned by the Hansen family, who still live in Yeppoon.

The Murphys recalled the old picture theatre had a dirt floor and canvas seats.

In the late 1960s, the present Sands Arcade was the Sands Motel and the arcade was a walkway to a coffee shop at the rear.

There was no sewerage in town, the beach was "terrible", there were no buses to Rockhampton and, by road, Rockhampton was an hour away. There was no separate State high school.

Since then, the old wooden police station, where the officer was also the Clerk of Petty SessionS, has been replaced with a modern building plus a new courthouse has been built.

ABOVE: This is the Sun 'n' Fun Newsagency before it moved into Savemore ... the Murphys bought this newsagency from Marie Brown who later erected the present building on the 4erner-aPames and Arthur Streets. The Murphys moved from the new building to Savemore about 11 years ago.

There's a new Livingstone Shire Council Chambers, surf life saving club, and sailing club. New shops, including the continued growth of the Savemore Centre, have improved the business centre ... and there's been the addition of the huge Capricorn Iwasaki Resort, which has provided "unbounded development in employment".

"There has been fantastic growth in 19 years ... but there's never, ever, been a boom," Mr Murphy said.

"The Iwasaki complex was made out to be a boom time but the Coast settled back into its steady growth pattern."

The Murphys said house prices were stable because they knew certain places they looked at when they first arrived and had watched them change hands over the years.

"One house was $8500 in 1968 and today its worth $45,000," Mrs Murphy said.

They said Yeppoon's growth was "a credit to the people". It was also a sign of the government's confidence in the district and in the people.

"Yeppoon is a lot bigger, a lot cleaner and a lot tidier than it used to be," Mr Murphy said. "The population has probably doubled, if not more, but the friendliness of the people is still the same."

NOW it's time for children to get ready for school again. For me, it's my big boy's last term at school. He tells me that he has completed most of his final exams for year 12, so I hope he will enjoy this final part of his young schooling.

Young schooling is that time when you are preparing for older schooling. It really is amazing how much of what you learn in school is understood when you leave and enter the world of adults (or big people). That . learning continues forever. Sometimes when I'm doing, listening or reading, a hidden memory from school days suddenly pops up.

I wouldn't like to go back to my teenage years or schooling ... it was all very emotional and tense. Is it like that for today's girls? I don't have daughters and my sons don't seem to have such a tension-filled time. Maybe today's children are a lot more relaxed.

Admittedly, some children are enfolded in the peer group system and it appears to be extremely competitive. Of course peer groups aren't just in childhood or teen years ... quite a few adults are in cliques, with the same results.

I couldnI wait to be 30 because that meant I was finally grown up and being grown up seemed to be terribly important. Now I'm 40 and I still don't really feel truly grown up.

Learning is such a wonderful experience.

Our Rhodes has wanted to leave school since he was 15, but parents prevailed and he stayed on. I don't think he has been the greatest student and has probablyworried his teachers with his on again, off again attitude, but he has learnt and grown within himself and I think that has been more important for him than being top of the class. That doesn't apply to everyone because we are all different. o ❑ 0 A ST James cent sale regular, Mrs Byrne, was farewelled at the last function. Mr and Mrs Byrne are going to live at Hervey Bay. Mrs Byrne was accompanied to the cent sale by her grand-daughters from Moranbah and they had a successful morning, winning some. prizes and Bronwyn Byrne won the lucky door prize.

Other competition winners were Mrs L Jordon, Mrs E Cameron, Mrs A Abel, Mrs E Vizard and the jackpot winner was Mrs M Hawkeswell. All winners were from Yeppoon.

The next cent sale is on Wednesday, October 28 at 10am in the St James Hall, Mary Street, Yeppoon.

THE Department of Family and Youth Service's is conducting a Families for Children campaign throughout Central Queensland.

The campaign's major focus will be to find families who are able to offer short-term care (up to six months) for children aged between 12 to 16 years. Some children will need care until they are independent.

The second focus of the campaign is to encourage and assist communities to provide support for these children, their families and the families providing alternative care.

While the Central District already has dedicated families providing care for children ranging from in age from a few weeks to 18 years, there is a growing need to provide care for adolescents who are unable, for a variety of reasons, to live with their families.

Lack of care-giving families and community resources in the more isolated centres of Central Queensland has, in the past, resulted in many children being placed at considerable distances from their families and friends. This separation of child and family makes reunification difficult.

The department believes the combination of sufficient care-giving families and community support will mean more children can be cared for in their own communities during the time of family crisis.

Community involvment in the "shared care" of these children will significantly increase the likelihood of the child and family being successfully reunited and will also provide valuable support for the families caring for children.

There are many ways communities can assist parents, for example: * Setting up and helping to run neighbourhood support groups, playgroups, before and after school activity groups, youth goups. * Providing relief care ( such asweekend care) for care-giving families through the "social contacts" programme. * Providing day-to-day practical help to families in crisis and care-giving families (for example shopping, transporting children to and from school, doctor's appointments).

If any individuals or organisations have suggestions or can offer any support (during or after the campaign) contact the department.

Phone Betty Cockerill, Susan McAviney or Jenny Ingham (079) 27 3377 9am to 5pm.

Capricorn Coast cricketers havemixed bag of results in matches THE season's first cricket games produced a mixed bag of results for the Capricorn Coast teams.

The second grade team had a major batting collapse, after a fine start on day one, to lose its last five wickets for eight runs.

Playing Frenchville, overnight batsmen Adrian Smith (55) and Keith Semmler (34), resumed the innings with an overnight score of 4 for 195 but the team were dismissed for 217.

Frenchville won first innings points with a loss of six wickets and only one ball to spare.

Their quest was made easier with poor fielding and dropped catches by Capricorn Coast players.

Wayne Kitchener took 2 for 62 off 19 overs, Ian Anderson 0 for 34 from 7, Ken Ogilvie 1 for 37 from 10, Jeff Ingle 1 for 46 from 13, Steve Carte 1 for 7 from 7 and Steve Bock 0 for 24 from 4 overs.

Opening batsmen for the Coast Darren Petterwood (top-scoring with 95) and Jason Dawes (52) put 66 runs on the board to get the team off to a good start.

GLADSTONE runner Trent Hall, while missing rival David Akeringa in the Erpu Park funrun, was still able to run an outstanding time which shattered the old course record.

Trent ran the 8.2km course in 26.24 mins, slicing 15 seconds off the old record set by another Gladstone runner, David Eborn, in the early '80s.

Restaurateur Bev Laundry put in another marathon effort to win the women's section although her time, 33.59 mins, was 15 seconds slower than last year's.

Mrs Laundry said she extremely pleased with the 74 participants who entered in this year's funrun and about 40 others who went in the beach run.

She said Trent time only indicated the standard other runners showed because besides Trent, four more broke the 30- minute mark.

They were under 17 category winner Grant Titman with 27.36 mins; second place-getter Jason Titman with 29.56 mins; Tony Usher, who was second behind Trent in the 18 to 34 year bracket, 27.36 mins and third placed runner Jim Ford, with 28 mins.

In the males' 35 to 44 category, winner Mike McCabe's time was 30.23 mins and second place-getter Dennis Newman's, 30.53 mins, were just short of breaking the 30 minutes.

Bevan Pettit was third in this category with a time of 34.07 mins.

Mrs Laundry not only won the 35 to 44 year group but also was first across the line in front of up-and-coming athlete Kay Melbourne.

Kay won the under-17 group clocking 36.23 mins, nearly four minutes in front of Coast athlete Peachy George, who clocked 40.20 mins.

An unfortunate turn cost male over 60 winner Richard Orr valuable time, and although he finished the marathon in 1.47 hours, he covered about 20km. Last year his time was about 46 mins and it was unfortunate he lost his way.

Winners in the under 17 female category: Kay Melbourne, first, 36.23 mins; Peachy George, second, 40.20 mins.

Under 16 male winners: Grant Titman, first, 27.36 mins; Jason Titman, second, 29.56 mins; Colin Edminstone, third, 32.20 mins.

Results in the 18 to 34 female age group: Rhonda Donaldson first, 37.39 mins; Bronwyn Irving, second, 38.58 mins; Julie Dunlop, third, 44.27 mins.

Male 18 to 34 age group: Trent Hall, first, 26.24 mins; Tony Usher, second, 27.36 mins; Jim Ford, third, 28 mins.

Female 35 to 44 years: Bev Laundry, first, 33.59 mins; Yvonne Thompson, second, 39.52 mins; Patsie Bopf, third, 46.25 mins.

Male 35 to 44 years: Mike McCabe, first, 30.23 mins; Dennis Newman, second, 30.53 mins; Bevan Pettit, third, 34.07 mins.

Female 45 to 59: Pam Gorrell, first, 46.16; Margaret Perrin, second, 49.18 mins.

Male 45 to 59: Cannon Phillips, first, 31.46 mins; Butch Mathew,second, 33.19 mins; Andy Stewart, third, 35.04 mins.

Male over 60 years: Richard Orr. The funrun was boosted this year with an extra walking section for families. About 20 people took advantage of this less competitive sport.

Mrs Laundry said a suggestion box was installed this year for people to advise how the fun run could be improved. One (probably very tired) person suggested the hills be cut out of the run.

However this suggestion won't be administered because the course is set the same way each year and has been since the run's inception about six years ago.

Mrs Laundry said another great thing about the run was the support from local families and businesses, especially the householders who provided water stops along the routes and helped with directions at corners.

This year's run raised 5255 and it will be given to the Don Ireland Swimming Complex.

PROMINENT Yeppoon woman has daughter who has a Siamese cat. For some reason, the daughter decided the cat should spend the night in Mummy's bed. Mummy was oh so pleased to share bed with cat, especially around 2am when full moon shone through window and cat went off its brain and started jumping from bed, to wardrobe, to dressing table and back to bed. Mummy woke up, daughter woke up. Daughter went and made cup of tea. Over tea, Mummy and daughter had a talk. It seems daughter has been having occasional restless nights during which daughter wakes up, makes tea, wakes Mummy, drinks tea, daughter goes back to bed and is instantly asleep ... and Mummy greets the sunrise and staggers forward to a new day. Mummy tells daughter the cat is the problem. Daughter agrees. Daughter drinks tea; Mummy drinks tea. Daughter goes to bed and is instantly asleep ... Mummy once again spends night wide awake at kitchen table. Mummy greets sunrise, yawning ... with Siamese cat, now calmed down, rubbing against her legs!!! o o o FATHER calls over mechanic mate to have a look at a car his son has picked up that day ... the mechanic says only way to test it is to take it for a spin. Son, 17, with learner's permit, says he's the only one who is allowed to drive it. Father, mechanic, 17-year-old and (unimproved model) younger son, encar (must be a word because in smart books the heroes always entrain). Anyway, learner son carefully backs out car (just missing family dog) and heads for main road. It's late at night so headlights are blazing as son turns car onto main road. Way off in the distance there's a car coming toward our fearsome foursome ... mechanic asks "driver" if he knows how to dim the headlights; "driver" says "yes" ... and pushes in light switch; there's instant darkness followed by instant shouting by three passengers. "Driver," seeing (or, perhaps in darkness, not seeing) his error, pulls out light switch ... literally. There he is, light switch knob in hand, car coming toward him flashing its headlights, and three screaming passengers. Keeping his cool, "driver" says calmly: "Will someone take this know while I dip the lights." Mechanic, in front seat, takes knob; "driver" finds dimmer switch on floor ... and they all lived happily ever after!!! o o o SAME kid, same car ... earlier same day.

Father suggests son should polish car to remove four acres of surface rust from bonnet, roof and boot. Gives son extra-cut polish and tells him to go to it. Son (remember, he's 17) actually does not know what to do with polish. Father tells him to get cloth ... son rushes back with good pair of underpants.

Father suggests an old T-shirt might be more appropriate. Son returns with brother's Tshirt. Father suggests he get to it. Son, (17 remember) does not know how to polish car.

Father shows him. Son (17) gets no-where.

Father shows him some more. Son (17) tries again. Father is about to show him again when he realises son in conning him. Father loses interest in car ... son starts hard work of cutting it back, without father's help! o' o o JOHN MURPHY, the day after he sold two newsagencies, hands his Parker biro to customer in travel shop. Customer hands it back saying it's out of ink. He checks refill, it's empty, and says: "Wouldn't you know it ... I'll have to go to a newsagency and buy one." But he was in luck ... he found a spare at home!
