THE Coast's biggest export is its young people. Member for Broadsound Denis Hinton said this week he had faced the reality of up to 25 per cent unemployment among the Coast's young people.

"I don't like it, but I have faced up to it. But the part that is really hurting us, as a community, is the drift of our young people to the cities," Mr Hinton said.

"We are losing our young population because of lack of opportunity for them in the local businesses ... and those same businesses are struggling.

"Some youngsters are going away to tertiary studies, but the majority are just going, hoping to have a career in the employment they desire.

They are our biggest export," he said.

"As a father of teenagers I am only too aware that youngpeople can "lose their way" without essential parental guidance and with employment prospects so limited on the Coast ... they are forced to move."

Mr Hinton said the Coast has to create an environment that would keep the families together.

"The prospect of an international airport offers hope of stimulated development and prosperity in the area.

"I will not stand by anti see it blocked by Rockhampton politicans ... our young people's futures are too important to be used as a political football."

He said the issue of whether an international airport is located on the Capricorn Coast should be determined on the merits of an environmental impact study and not on whether the Rockhampton City Council may have made a mistake by assuming financial responsibility for the Rockhampton Airport.

"Many Coast residents are perfectly happy with the present state of affairs. They enjoy the serene atmosphere and lack of development.

"But our children's futures are at stake.

When I talk to the parents and citizens associations and_visit the schools, I see the enormous potential we have in our children ... and it is being lost to us becausewe don't have the work for them," he said.

"The chambers of commerce, Capricorn Coast Tourist Organisation, Livingstone Shire Council, parents and citizens associations and every resident need to be involved. The time for sitting on the fence has gone.

"It is our job, as a community, to bring development here and that includes the chance of having an international airport."

Mr Hinton said the airport will be included in a new franchise agreement being drawn up between the Iwasaki Sangyo Company and State Government with improvements including an international hotel, international village, beach access points and recreation areas and another 18 hole golf course.

"This new agreement will include the airport in a staged development by May 1, 1991. If everything goes to plan the agreement will be introduced in the next session of State Parliament," he said.

"Member for Capricornia Keith Wright and Rockhampton City Council Mayor Ald Jim Webber are exaggerating the dangers to Rockhampton Airport, which will always remain the central domestic airport for Central Queensland.

"If they achieve international status for Rockhampton for charter flights, that's fine.

It's an added bonus for everyone and should be applauded.

"But, they must not be allowed to prevent an expenditure of private venture capital on an airport at a resort.

"That airport is going to bring development to the Capricorn Coast and give our young people a future ... something a lot of them don't have here, at home with their families, at the moment."

SEWER- FEESEXTEND ALONG COAST TO EMU PARK LIVINGSTONE Shire Council chairman Cr John Bowen said this week that sewerage construction charges would have to be paid by residents at Statue Bay, Kemp Beach, Rosslyn Bay and the main business area of Emu Park.

Cr Bowen said Statue Bay was a series extension to the existing Yeppoon sewerage scheme.

The area included at Emu Park encompasses the business centre (an area bounded by Hunter, Granville and Bright Streets) which will form stage one of council's sewerage scheme.

"Sewerage in the business centre will enable the business community to proceed with any upgrading plans and developments," he said.

"It is much needed and will also address the most urgent need for sewerage for all manner of things including the area's health and economy."

Rosslyn Bay developers have to pay the whole of reticulation before being included in the Coast's sewerage scheme. Cr Bowen said developers at Rosslyn Bay pay headworks plus additional charges to have their sewerage meet with the Coast's line.

Cr Bowen said work would start on the Statue Bay extension as soon as the plans were drawn up and approved by State Government. However he expected the extension to be completed by the end of 1989.

"It is difficult to estimate when stage one at

Emu Park would be completed," he said.

"Detail planning is now being worked on, and it depends on the options and type of scheme when work can be started."

The Water Resources Department now has three sewerage scheme options to study including a conventional system, a common effluent drainage system and a combination of both.

The department working with the shire engineer will work out the costs, most suitable system and also the amount of government grants available to Livingstone Shire to undertake a sewerage scheme taking in the whole of Emu Park.

Cr Bowen said these final figures were not expected for another six to seven months. "The

work involves checking, costing and careful scrutiny," he said.

"After the options have been checked they then go to cabinet for further scrutiny to determine funding."

Council has started a sewerage construction charge to enable it to start the groundwork including plans and engineers' drawings.

"Yeppoon paid sewerge charges for seven to eight years before the scheme was started," Cr Bowen said. "This enables council to have revenue for paying the necessary drafting plans and engineering drawings.

"The amount of money received from sewerage construction rates wouldn't cover costs but will contribute to costs."

Brownie guides Vietnam vets remembrance day Aims and views `jump' for heart for chamber FIFTEEN Second Yeppoon Brownie Guide pack girls put heart and soul into jumping rope for the National Heart Foundation.

Jumping in groups of six, for 20 minutes each. the brownies raised $312.40 for the foundation.

There had been 25 girls training but 10 had the current flu and were unable to take part on the day.

Organisers said the programme was successful. "The brownies were enthusiastic about learning jump-rope skills," a spokesman said.

"They were also keen to keep fit and collect sponsorship for the day. It was a successful day for all jumpers."

The girls started at 9am and in teams of six jumped for 20 minutes each. The pack will also get 10 per cent of the money raised which will go towards club funds.

REPRESENTATIVES from the Vietnam Veterans Legion Capricorn Coast branch and Vietnam Veterans Association attended Yeppoon's remembrance ceremony on Sunday.

Coast legion president Roy Savage said about 55 people attended the 11.30am service at the graveside of Stewie Harald, who was killed during the Vietnam conflict.

Harald family members including a sister, Glynis Baker, attended the graveside ceremony and later the service at the Yeppoon Cenotaph.

Mr Savage said there were representatives from the Yeppoon and Emu Park Returned Service League Clubs as well as members from the Vietnam Veterans Legion and Association and Livingstone Shire Council chairman Cr John Bowen.

August 18 was this year gazetted by the Federal Government as the annual remembrance day for Vietnam veterans.

Veterans nationwide held services. Yeppoon held its service on the Sunday to enable members, families and any interested people a chance to attend. The service attracted visitors from Melbourne and Bribie Island as well as Rockhampton.

During the march to the Cenotaph, Mrs Baker carried the flag presented to the family during the homecoming ceremony in November last year in memory of her brother.

The Rockhampton 14th regiment of cadets supplied the catafalque party and Australian Army's 42 RQR battalion chaplain Ken Steer conducted the service.

Coast branch representatives attended the Vietnam Veterans Association service on Thursday at the Rockhampton Cenotaph.

EP 'greening' EMU Park will be 'greened' next weekend by Emu Park Lions Club and Livingstone Shire Council.

The tree planting morning is on Saturday, September 3 and the community is invited to help.

"We will meet in Bell Park at 8am and expect the working bee to be for about three hours," Emu Park Lions Club 'greening' organiser Ross Coulter said.

Organisers will start the on-going project on the Emu Park to Rockhampton Road approaches.

"Mr Bill Kaney from Livingstone Shire Council has prepared plans and has suggested the tree types that should do well in that area," he said.

"Council is supplying machinery and fill and the Lions Club is organising the Hoop Pines, Cuban Trumpet Trees, and Queen, Alexander and Royal Palms."

Mr Coulter said the Lions Club was supplying meat and salad for a barbecue in Bell Park after the working bee.

"We invite the whole community to join us in beautifying Emu Park and its environs and then take your own refreshments to our free barbecue for helpers."

Contact Ross Coulter, 39 6036, if you are interested in helping in any way or would like information on 'greening' Emu Park.

THE Capricorn Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry 1988/89 executive met for the first time this week on Tuesday.

President Tony Millroy said the executive had sorted out the chamber's aims andviews for the next year.

The chamber aims to increase membership, increase representation of Coast business houses and to continue lobbying local, state and federal governments for help in improving Capricorn Coast businesses and lifestyles.

Mr Millroy said there were also a number of proposed projects that the chamber would pursue. These included approaching Livingstone Shire Council about improving Great Keppel Island's sewerage system and zoning.

"Changes to the sewerage and zoning will allow the island to prosper," he said.

"The chamber is also looking to introduce a young achiever's award. This would recognise young people not only in the sporting or academic fields but also apprentices, trainees and other young people."

Mr Millroy said the idea behind this was to promote "young winners" and give them the distinction they deserve. "It would also be an incentive to young people," he said.

"The chamber has responded positively to the shire's 1988/89 budget. It is also pleased to see some chamber initiatives including tree planting along the beachfront, street lighting on Anzac Parade and pedestrian crossings were included in budget allocations."

Mr Millroy said the chamber would also push for an early release on the strategic plan. "It seems to have been put on the back burner," he said.

"The chamber would also like to find out, or get a commitment, from Main Roads and Livingstone Shire about how the four-lane roads link up."

Mr Millroy said the chamber would also try to encourage the main street traders to tidy up their shopfronts. "Some leave a lot to be desired," he said.

"A coat of paint, brush out the cobwebs and try to make shops relavent and attractive."

The chamber's next meeting will be on Tuesday, September 6 at Bayview Tower starting at 630pm. "The chamber invites all business and professional people to attend and give their thoughts and ideas," he said.

$70,000 TAB at Club Hotel

Early morning break-in mars quiet weekend THE Capricorn Coast has had an uneventful week as far as reliance on the emergency services. The Fire Brigade, Police and Ambulance all reported quiet weekends, a break-in at a Coast nightclub the only major event.

Yeppoon-Emu Park District Ambulance superintendent Geoff Reynolds reminds Capricorn Coast residents annual subscriptions are due.

Mr Reynolds said QATB representative Alf Lawrence would be travelling door-to-door from Byfield in the north to The Causeway.

"Subscriptions can also be taken at the James Street, Yeppoon QATB centre," he said.

Rates: full subscription, S58; single, S51; double pensioner $36 and single pensioner, S27.

Mr Reynolds said a minimum callout fee for people without subscriptions would be $85.

The first 24km is $85 and then the standard for every further kilometre was $2.10.

Mr Reynolds reported a quiet weekend with sickness calls being the major problem. "Motorists have been pretty good, with no major accidents to report," he said.

It•was a relatively incident-free weekend for Yeppoon Police with cooee contest crowds well-behaved. The weekend's festivities were marred by an early morning break-in at La Bamba nightclub.

A spokesman said someone had forced a door and stolen some money.

Yeppoon Fire Brigade also reported a quiet period with the last incident, a grass fire, on Tuesday, August 9.

THE Club Hotel will be home to Yeppoon's TAB by next month.

Work has already started on the new $70,000 building which will house the TAB. The Club Hotel has demolished part of the beer garden to make way for the new building.

An hotel spokesman said the TAB was being moved because more parking space was available at the Club. He said the Club was also in a more central position.

Work is expected to be completed by the end of the month and the TAB to start operations in September.

Monster Book Week coming up CATS, monsters and a whole host of children's favourites will be featured during Children's Book Week from August 19 to 26.

Gone are the days when children were enthralled with fairies and princesses. Today it is books with monsters, a lot of movement and noise-related words that attract young readers.

Livingstone Shire librarian Debbie Burn said all children, specially under fives, liked their books to come alive.

Miss Burn said they also liked extremes ... books with exceedingly nice children or terribly naughty children.

"Library staff will dress up for the occasion and children will be treated like royalty during the week," she said.

Children's Book Week is also an ideal time for parents to enrol children at the library. "The rule for enrolment ages has changed from preschool to no age-limit," she said.

"The library will be displaying new children's

books that are also available for loan.

"Storytelling sessions will be held at the library for three to four year-olds on Tuesday, August 23 and Thursday, August 25 at 2pm.

Please phone the library to make a booking for these sessions."

IMAGINE the excitement and shock of finding out about a brother you didn't know you had, who was fostered out as a child. A Coast family was astonished to learn about a brother still living in England who had searched out his family.

The following is a story Rick Hackney contributed to the Central Queensland Genealogical Society about an uncle he never knew existed.

I was at home one night when my mother dropped in at around 7.30. She told me that she had just recieved incredible news.

Her sister Eva called from England to tell her about a brother that they, or their other sisters and brothers, never knew existed.

In the 1920s my grandfather Albert Rickard was sentenced to five years' imprisonment for robbery.

He lived at Maidstone, Kent and was married to Agnes. At the time of his imprisonment, Agnes was pregnant and they also had a oneyear-old daughter, Patricia.

While Albert was serving his sentence, Agnes gave birth to a baby boy she called Tom. Life in the 20s was hard, especially for a woman trying to raise a family alone.

There was no financial assistance, as we know it today, and finally when Tom was nearly one Agnes was forced, through ill-health, to foster him out.

Denhams Supermarket Yeppoon

She placed an advertisement in a newspaper and he was fostered with a local couple. Albert was released from prison after serving three years and eight months of the sentence.

Tom was never reclaimed by the Rickards and the reasons why still remain a mystery. Albert and Agnes had a further six children between 1929 and 1939.

The first child, Patricia, died at the age of 10 and one of the six children, Jessie, died at months.

This left five children - John, Sheila, Eva, Mary and James - and they grew up never knowing they had an older brother. Albert died in 1955 and Agnes in 1970 and they never revealed anything about Tom. In the meantime, Tom grew up with Mr and Mrs Arnold whom he believed to be his natural parents. At 18 years, when he joined the army, his foster mother told him about his real identity.

Tom decided to have his name changed to Arnold to avoid confusion. He married and worked as a postman in Maidstone for the next 28 years.

He and his wife Eileen had two children Patricia and Peter - and it was not until 1986 that Tom, nearly 61 years old, decided to trace his real family.

Tom still had his original birth certificate and

90 free shirts to promote Coast A DESIRE to help promote Livingstone Shire at Expo has resulted in the donation of 90 scrcenprinted shirts with a total retail value of S2250.

The donation was inspired by a story in the Capricorn Coast Mirror calling for volunteers to man a stall at Expo.

Annette and Shane Swadling said they were unable to volunteer because of work commitments at their Keppel Island clothing store, Rainbow Hut. However, they believed the Coast should be promoted and decided to screen print shirts that Coast Expo volunteers could wear.

"It was a way we could be involved in promoting the area at Expo," Mrs Swadling said. "It will also give volunteers a professional look."

The white shirts have the green and red Capricorn emblem on the right side and Livingstone Shire Council's crest is on the left.

Shire chairman Cr John Bowen said the donation was a marvellous way of showing faith in an area. "It is also good to see there are people who are not whingeing about the area and are also trying w do something through promotion," he said.

"More business people need to be inspired by what the Swadlings have done."

Hinton seeks another doctor MEMBER for Broadsound Denis Hinton will seek an upgrade of medical staff at Yeppoon Hospital to service the new State Government nursing home and cater for busy periods at the hospital during holiday periods.

"I was approached by the Yeppoon RSL sub branch to investigate the needs for an additional medical officer at the hospital," Mr Hinton said.

"The present medical officer, Dr John Blenkin, works long hours and is on call for 14 nights out of 21.

"I believe that with the construction of the new State Government 40 bed nursing home, two medical officers would be necessary to service the hospital during holiday periods, with considerable additional assistance during normal times ... equivalent at least to about one and a half normal doctor attendance."

He said he would make immediate representations to Health Minister Leisha Harvey to have the situation at Yeppoon Hospital reviewed in the light of present and prospective medical officers and staff requirements.

Joke disturbs I AM disturbed by the joke in the column "The Back of Mirror" (CCM July 22-28).

While it may be funny to joke about the ageing process I think your joke reflects a serious problem. Beauty is not only skin deep.

To say that nudity is the best contraceptive for the over 40s is just compounding the repugnant philosophy of our consumer society that says that to be young and lithe is the pinnacle achievement of life.

I have met some ugly "beautiful" people. To be young and "beautiful" is not the meaning of life. Sexuality is a whole of being thing. Lasting, wholesome marriage relationships are composed by two people who see in their partner a beauty beyond compare. They have "beautiful" sexual intercourse for years a nd years, long after things have begun to sag.

- Reveirnd John Cornish, Anglican Palish of Keppel, Yeppoon.

• The joke referred to was the one about the best contraceptive for the over-40s ... nudity. If you thought it tasteless you're entitled to give me a "rev" - James Hill.

BILL Shuttlewood Lodge was opened by Family Services and Welfare Housing Minister Peter McKechnie last week.

The John Street, Yeppoon units are part of a Queensland Housing Commission pensioner unit development.

"The completion of Bill Shuttlewood Lodge in William Street, provided an additional eight pensioner units in Yeppoon," Mr McKechnie said.

The project cost $218,342 and was built by Hope Constructions Pty Ltd. In addition to the units, the project features paved areas and landscaping, including more than 200 plants, shrubs and trees.

"This project substantially reduces the number of elderly people on the waiting list for accommodation in Yeppoon.

"Until now, there were 13 pensioner applications," he said.

"The Queensland Housing Commission is providing accommodation for a large number of people in the town.

"The commission owns 25 dwellings and only last week acquired eight more attached houses."

Mr McKechnie said the naming of Bill Shuttlewood Lodge was a fitting tribute to a man who had contributed considerably to activities for the elderly in Yeppoon.

"In addition to being prominent in his church, Mr Shuttlewood is involved in the Yeppoon Pensioners League and was recently re-elected president for the 11th consecutive year."

Cooeeing helps pay off loan for tennis, netball THE 19th World and Australian Bicentennial Cooee Contest on Sunday grossed about $10,000. Organisers said this was on a par with past years but expected higher costs associated with bicentennial activities.

Cooee Bay Lammermoor Progress Association president Cr Brian Dorey said the money raised would go toward paying the association's $45,000 loan.

Cr Dorey said the association had taken out a $63,000 development loan to build the fourcourt tennis and netball complex but now owed $45,000.

The association will be helped by a $2000 grant from the government because the cooee contest was an officially endorsed bicentennial project.

However, Cr Dorey said profits may only be slighter larger than in past years.

A MILESTONE reached. On June 9, 1903 a Provisional School was established on a Yeppoon plantation to serve the educational needs of the children of Farnborough district.

Provisional Schools were an attempt by the State Government of the day to provide education for the widely spread and fast growing population.

The idea was that if the community could guarantee the attendance of at least 12 children; were able to provide a suitable building for the school and arrange accommodation for a teacher, then the Department of Public Instruction would provide school books and pay the teacher's salary.

A local committee was able to meet the conditions, so in a building "little more than a barn", with only a few small windows, no verandahs and little ventilation, originally belonging to the Yeppoon Sugar Mill, Miss Victoria Spanner started classes with 17 pupils.

The school continued in this building until 1912 when Livingstone Shire Council asked that the building be moved to another site because it posed a dangerous obstacle being so close to the main road.

After negotiations.with the Department of Public Instruction it agreed to finance and build a new building on the present site.

The school closed on January 1, 1913 and reopened on Tuesday, March 25, 1913 with William F Kearton as the new head teacher.

It was also from that date the Department of Public Instruction took full responsibility for the schoolwhich was then designated as a state school.

Farnborough State School Parents and Citizens Association recognised th 75th anniversary on March 25, 1988 with a birthday cake and small party but is now planning a full celebration with a monster 75th anniversary fete on Saturday, August 27, starting at noon.

All previous pupils, principals and teachers are invited to attend.

A visitors' roll call will be called at noon and the association has arranged to bury a time capsule to be re-opened on the 100th anniversary.

The capsule will contain items of everyday interest: the local newspaper, school newsletters of the day, a message card from each child in the school to those who will be present at the centenary celebrations and photographs of the present school children.

A display of memorabilia of Farnborough State School and the district will be on display and anyone who has items of interest and are willing to lend them to the school, are asked to contact the principal so arrangements can be made for the items to be collected and displayed.

Organisers expect the fete to be a great day with a large number of activities including white elephant stall, plant stall, home-made stall, hit-the-teacher booth, pony rides, nearest-to-the-pin competition, fairy floss, food stalls, raffles, arts and crafts, face painting, licenced bar, soft drinks stall, sweet amd cakes stalls, fence painting and a book garden.

Fete proceed will provide facilities to enhance the education of children attending Farnborough State School.

UP TO • ABOVE: The new, stylish premises built by Anne and Phil Leonard for their Emu Park News and Casket Agency.

Brio

New premises for newsagency THE new Emu Park News and Casket Agency premises is the first new shop built in the town centre since Anne and Phil Leonard arrived six years ago.

It's a sign that Emu Park is on the move. The Endeavour Motel, built last year, plus the newsagency, has given Emu Park a new, more modem look.

The newsagency is an impressive white building with an attractive facade and awning, a very comfortable flat upstairs and a fully concreted footpath in front.

Both Phil and Anne Leonard said they were pleased with their new premises. They were impressed with the way the Alexander Brothers approached construction and are more than happy with the finished job.

A newsagency is a specialised business with unusual shelving and storage needs. Accordingly, the shopfitting was handed over to Brisbane firm Tom Brown Shopfitters that specialises in design, manufacture and installation of newsagencies.

The result is a delight for customers: • Magazine racks that give each publication prominence to end that shuffling through stacks to find the publication that covers particular needs.

• A stationery display section that puts customers' needs at their fingertips. Biros range from the day-to-day school and office equipment to business and gift pens from names such as Parker, Sheaffer and Papermate. There's pencils for all jobs; erasers for jobs that went wrong; glues, pastes and cements for business, school and modellers ... and pads and paper for any job.

Business people have a wide range of books for

receipts and book-keeping. And, for the special project that demands the right display there's a dozen clear-fronted drawers full of colourful kindergarten or poster board.

• There's shelves for aeroplane, car and boat modellers as well as a big range of board games ... and they can be seen at a glance in their own display area. In the same section there are toys and dolls; swim flippers; the inevitable bucketand-spade; tennis balls, ping pong balls and cricket balls. There are board games and jigsaw puzzles ... even whistles for the umpires in the world.

• If you know someone who's feeling sick; having a birthday; getting engaged; getting married; having a baby; is coming of age; is just special to you or in mourning you'll need a card ... not any card but a card that expresses your feelings about the occasion. The card you need is probably on display at Emu Park News and Casket Agency in a special section that offers, as well as the cards, gift wrapping, twines and tapes plus bows and fancy coverings to make your thought especially attractive. The new premises has room for these items and it saves time for customers.

One section has everything so there's no need to get back home and suddenly recall that you meant to buy gift wrapping or sticky tape. And there's a range of gifts that take the worry out of buying a present for the child next door who has suddenly announced that it's one year exactly since that last gift occasion!

• For the reader who wants to get lost in a good book there's an impressive array on display in shelving that tempts the person with time to relax.

The books are not confined to the latest novels; • CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

• CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 there's dictionaries, how-to books; language dictionaries; colourful coffee-table books on a wide range of subjects as well as specialised topics such as photgraphy and other hobbies.

•Customers feeling the heat can provide themselves with a shady spot by choosing a hat from the special hat stand. There are hats for men and women, boys and girls.

• Right at the front door to remind visitors to the Capricorn Coast that they meant to write to friends and relatives there's a postcard and souvenir section. Visitors can buy postcards that will have the Southern postmen packing their bags for the Coast; teaspoons that will become precious items for collectors and bumper stickers that relieve the monotony of long trips for following drivers.

• There's a long double-sided newspaper and magazine stand that dominates the centre of the new premises and has such a huge range on display that it has already brought new customers and sales because of the wide range of topics covered.

• But the main counter is where the real action occurs. Phil and Anne Leonard preside over an array of Instant Casket, Golden Casket, Gold Lotto and Pools tickets and coupons that can bring financial independence to any lucky customer. Scratch a prize on the counter and choose some more tickets or reinvest in those massive Gold Lotto draws that put a golden rainbow over so many homes. Or hang on to your winnings in the best way possible ... by immediately depositing them in a Wide Bay Capricorn Building Society account or with the Westpac Savings Bank. The newsagency is an agent for both financial institutions.

• Or, if you've spent so much time browsing you have other needs, choose an icy cold soft drink or fruit juice from the refrigerated display; bite into afresh chocolate or suck on a sweet; light up a cigarette or pipe from the wide range of cigarettes and tobacco on show.

The Emu Park News and Casket Agency is more than just a paper shop ... it's a place to spend time browsing. It's there for everyone to enjoy.

NEW TECHNOLOG NEW technology has brought many benefits to Emu Park News and Casket Agency in Hill Street, Emu Park: The newspapers and magazines that are the basis of the business are now available earlier than in the past because computers have produced them better and faster.

But computers are soon due to make even more impressive changes in the Emu Park shop. The Golden Casket office and the Wide Bay Capricorn Building Society will soon put this shop "on-line".

What that means to the customer must be seen to be believed. For the building society customer it means the Bundaberg head office is glowing on a screen in the newsagency. Make a deposit; make a withdrawal ... and you're talking to the "boss". You know how much you have in which account; how much interest

it-es are falling...

VSPOWER is more than just a catchy name ... it's a cording to Phil and Anne Leonard of Emu Park News sket Agency. incredible, but true, that prices are actually falling at wsagency," they said this week. "There are so many ower newsagencies around Australia that their commying power is now up there with the biggest." y said there were more than 4000 Newspower lencies around the nation and when they club together r a range of items, the suppliers sit up and take notice. re's so many lines that customers have to visit the ;ency to see them but the range of lines that particularly t young families are school exercise books. parents know how much the 'back-to-school' period he family budget and this is where the Newspower power shines. With so many newsagencies ordering r, parents from Esperance to Emu Park pay the same as parents in capital cities ... and not only are they low but also getting lower. as made a big difference to us," the Leonards said this "By combining the low-priced exercise books with ower's buying power on brown wrapping paper, plastering, rulers, colouring pencils, pens, pencils and bags, we're able to look after all of Emu Park's back>al needs at the right price." rspower buying extends to hundreds of items in the ss meaning a capital city pricetag on tens of thousands retry newsagency goods. Big buying power makes for everyone; the manufacturer who can optimise :tior -hedules; the newsagencies which can outlay more stock on shelves; and the customers ,who biggest winners because they have more disposable in their purse or wallet after buying what they need.

Casket ticket buyers will pay their money, have their name, sydicate name and other relevant information keyed into a computer at the newsagency and a ticket will be printed out with the next available number. There won't be country sales anymore ... everyone will be dealing with head office. If you're in the shop when that particular Golden Casket closes you will know the draw is imminent.

The draw will be held then results will be transmitted up the line almost instantly. Winners will be winners that much earlier and the losers ... well they'll know it's time to buy another ticket and try again.

New technology, used in this way, puts country people on a par with their city cousins. Decentralisation will no longer be a word in a dictionary ... it will be a way of life!

He was delighted to know that he had two brothers and three surviving sister. The family was scattered ... one brother, John, was working as a journalist in the Middle East, Sheila lived part time in Zimbabwe and sister Mary had emigrated to Australia.

Eva rang Mary, now Mrs Lindley, in Australia about the news. Tom, this year, finally met Mary after having met all the brothers and sisters.

A NEW type of competition was judged at the recent monthly meeting of the Yeppoon Camera Club.

Each member had a 24 frame roll of film and club patron Reg Fitzpatrick previously worked out six categories to allow four frames for each category.

No member knew the categories until the day set for photographing. All films were to be used on the appointed day and handed to the secretary at sunset and processed slides were to be posted back to the secretary.

The categories were: Help, Communication, My Country, Mother Love, Transport and Colour.

On the night of the competition each person was given his or her box of slides to decide which one out of each category would be entered into the competition, without having seen them projected.

Points were alloted for each placing: three for first, two for second and one for third.

Dave Donald won the Help and Communication sections; R Channells, My Country; Bruce Bowman, Transport; Kelly Geddes, Colour; Norma Channells, Mother Love.

Dave Donald won the overall competition with six points, R Channells was second with five and Margaret Kean scored four points.

LIVINGSTONE SHIRE COUNCIL

LAND USE BREACHES The Council intends to take a firmer line on activities which it considers are contrary to those permitted by the respective land use zones under its Town Plan.

This Plan is designed not only to confer certain rights of use, but also to afford rights to neighbours and legitimate competing businesses, and that aspect is frequently overlooked by persons operating ad-hoc business activities on inappropriate sites.

Henceforth the Council will require any unauthorised land use activity to cease, when it becomes aware of same, and legal actionwill be taken if necessary, if the person concerned fails to comply.

The Council will, in the first instance grant a moratorium on legal action against any person alleged to be engaged in activities contrary to the provisions of the Town Plan provided that such person registered written details of the activity with the Council by the 30th September, 1988, and subsequently ceases or re-establishes the activity on an appropriately zoned site by the 30th November, 1988.

Any person who does not so register their activity by the 30th September will be treated as a new breach and may be required to cease such activity immediately, without the benefits of the three months moratorium and phasing down option.

Any personwho requires further information on this programme, or clarification of whether their particular use of land is legal, is invited to contact the Council's resident Shire Planner, Mr Stewart.

SONGWRITER Peter Kearney will appear in St Ursula's Hall on Wednesday, September 7 at 7.30pm.

Mr Kearney won the Declan Affley Memorial Award for the best new song at this year's Sydney National Folk Festival.

He and wife, Marge Kearney, are touring outback Australia and included in their itinerary is Broken Hill, Adelaide, Alice Springs, Darwin, Mt Isa, Townsville and Brisbane as well as Yeppoon.

Organiser Denise Christensen said that Mr Kearney was one of Australia's leading folk and gospel songwriters. "Peter's songs are well known in many countries including the United States and England," she said.

"He has sung on three occasions at the Sydney Opera House and in November 1986 was invited to sing before the Papal Mass in Canberra."

Mrs Christensen said the evening wouldn't just be full of hymns. "His songs can be funny or sad, challenging, yet hope-inspiring, always down to earth and deeply human," she said.

"His rapport with the audience draws people into an evening's entertainment which is happy and light-hearted, yet can also stir people to reflect on the gospel message today."

Further inquiries, phone Mrs Christensen, 39 1728. Tickets will be on sale at the door ... S5/ S3 concession, S2 high school students and $12 family concession.

Keppel Sands bowlers busy

Yeppoon league reserves crush Singles final Fitzroys in minor semi-finals

THE Keppel Sands Indoor Bowling Club has had a busy time over the last month celebrating the wedding anniversaries of its members.

Last Sunday the club honored long time members, Alan and Nell West of Rockhampton on their 50th wedding anniversary.

Members thank Billie Stevenson of Emu Park for supplying the hibiscus flowers for the table decorations.

They were admired by all members and visitors.

The members provided a delightful afternoon tea and Alan and Nell cut the celebration cake. Nell was presented with a bouquet of garden flowers and an orchid shoulder spray supplied by members and friends.

The Sunday before, Ron and Joan Hollands of Yeppoon celebrated 40 years of married life and two weeks earlier Cliff and Elsie Anderson of Emu Park celebrated their 45th anniversary.

Afternoon teas were given to both couples.

On Tuesday, September 13, the Frenchville club will visit Keppel Sands for a friendly game of bowls and on October 15 Keppel Sands and Mt Morgan clubs will visit Singing Ship to play in the Moss Triples.

Keppel Sands club play at the Larcom Hall at 130pm every Sunday and visitors are welcome.

■ By Danrn Goody YEPPOON Reserve Grade Rugby League team crushed Fitzroys in the minor semi-final at Browne Park on Sunday.

Yeppoon's forward pack paved the way for the Seagulls' impressive 20 points to 8 win.

Tireless hooker Graham White scored Yeppoon's first two tries. The first try reflected Yeppoon's outstanding support play. Brisbane Broncos recruit Paul Isles made the initial break. Isles drew the full-back and passed inside to Bobby Hansen. Hansen unloaded inside to White who dived over next to the posts.

Five minutes into the second half Adrian White sealed the game for Yeppoon. White dived over next to the posts to place Yeppoon in an unbeatable position.

In the final 10 minutes Yeppoon allowed Fitzroys some respect. Fitzroys ran in two late tries before bowing out of the competition.

After the match captain/coach Dutchy Holland said the team played exceptionally well.

This week Yeppoon A grade plays Fitzroys in the major semi-final at Browne Park.

Junior Swans play entertaining YEPPOON Junior Swans under 1 ls provided great entertainment for the public and the boys enjoyed their game of Aussie footy - a game of no contact, but fun and participation and can be played by girls as well as boys.

An undermanned under 13 side was beaten

by Parkurst 6-1-37 to 2-4-16. Organisers thank under 11 team members Andrew Mackie, Cameron Blake and Cookie Campbell who took to the field. The only two goal kickers were Hayden Steele and Shane Campbell.

Best players were Matthew Dean (centre half back), Brad Hirning (centre), David Lawton (half back flank), Doug Edwards (nick) and Nathan Farlow (half back flank).

"It was obvious that the greater part of the game was in our backline and the boys tried hard against taller, stronger opposition," junior club publicity officer Yvonne Motton said.

"We meet them again in the first semi-final at Victoria Park on Sunday, August 21 at 10am on the dot. Everyone bring along their streamers and flags to help the boys along."

Under 15s were also beaten by Parkhurst 1011-71 to 5-3-33. Some of the under 13s, Shane Campbell, Steven Horstman, Shane Franke and Peter Dean, made up the side.

The team has had a tough year with lack of a full team each week but with a concerted effort could still win a play.

Some good marking around the ground by Grant Thorpe and Adrian Deurloo were highlights. Ronald Mackie, Jason Geier, David Liddell and Dayle Perrin showed some good running football but have to be more aware of kicking to team mates in the clear.

Best players came mostly from the backline where most of the play was - Chris Lawer (fullback), Shaun Dungey (back pocket), David Liddell (half back flank), Ronald Mackie, Shane Campbell and Jason Geier.

Goalkickers were Jason Geier two, Adrian Deurloo, Dayle Perrin and Ronald Mackie one each.

Under 15s do not play this week, but meet Wandal on Saturday, August 27 at 10.30am at Stenlake Park. (Please note day change)

Under 17s had a great win 24-14-158 to Parkhurst 1-4-10. The game was dominated by the Yeppoon boys who were relentless in the forward and backlines. A welcome return by Rod Chapman (who has been out with a injured ankle) made a difference in the forward line giving his team mates a reliable alternative to kick to.

Coach Nic Basham was happy with the way the boys have shaped up as the team heads into the finals.

"It was a great team effort with many good players, no weak links, topped by a great game

by Tim Mynott and Steven Bird who played well, whether on the ball or in the backline, and with Mark Wigginton played a great rovers game," Mrs Motton said.

"Thanks to under 15 Steven Phillips, Jason Geier and David Liddell for fronting for a second game."

Best players: Tim Mynott, Mark Wiggington, Dwayne Roberts, Rod Chapman and Steven Bird. Goalkickers: R Chapman 8, Tim Mynott 5, Troy Tomkins 4, Brett Loram 2, and D Roberts 2.

The under 17 first semi-final is at Victoria Park on Sunday, August 21 at 11.20am.

Becuase there are only two games, one bus will leave Yeppoon Showground at 8.30am.

/7 YEPPOON Amateur Racing Club has received excellent support byway of nominations for its first meeting under an expanded prize money budget at Tyrer Park on Wednesday.

When nominations closed on Wednesday, a total of 61 had been received for the five event programme.

Heading the way was the Maiden Handicap (900m) with 20 nominations, which is well above the starting capacity at Tyrer Park where a 12 horse starting stall is used.

In a bid to boost racing at the Capricorn

Coast prize money to be distributed at the 12 meetings in the 1988/89 racing season has been budgeted at S170,000 which is double that disbursed in the financial year just ended.

Five event programmes will be the norm rather than the four race meetings held during the past year when an accent was place on restricted class racing.

In the new format only one restricted race will be run at each meeting. The other four will carry prize money ranging from 52000 to 53000 on regular days.

Bicentennial Games attempt to bring shire together LIVINGSTONE Shire Bicentennial Games on Sunday, August 28 will be an attempt to bring the shire together.

Bicentennial committee president Cr Brian Dorey said there would be a picnic atmosphere prevalent during the games intended to be a day out for shire residnts.

Cr Dorey said the programme would involve primary school-aged children through to 100m masters race for over 50s.

The 12 shire schools have been invited as well as all major sporting clubs. Cr Dorey said the response to date had been slow but expected more indication in the week leading up to the games.

The games will be held at Bicentennial Park, Pattison Street, Emu Park starting at 8.45am with presentations at 4.20pm.

Bicentennial Park will be officially opened by Livingstone Shire chairman Cr John Bowen who will also perform the official games opening and plaque unveiling.

Cr Dorey said there would be refreshment and food stalls available. All awards given on the day will be special bicentennial medallions.

"The Livingstone Bicentennial Games will be the largest function of the 51 events in the programme organised by Livingstone Bicentennial community committee," he said.

"The programme is open to secondary and primary school students with an open event available to contestants from anywhere."

Cr Dorey said nominations would be taken on the day. He hopes all the shire's schools would be represented.

To cater for the sports, a new clubhouse has been built at Bicentennial Park. Cr Dorey said about $40,000 had been spent on building the clubhouse and organising the games.

At Wednesday's meeting, for which acceptances will be declared at 10am on Monday, the regular features will continue including Sky Channel coverage of all southern meetings.

• ABOVE: CapCoast Rugby Union A grade side mixed it with Colts on Saturday at St 'Brendan's College in the season's last home game. Mick Bongers in the maul, with Dave Ruck and Mark Gilligan comingfrom the left. Jeff Bennett, Andrew Georginson, Brad Flynn and Mark Harris are in the background.

Coast looks good but Colts win CAPCOAST Rugby blew its chance of finishing in the top two places after crashing to minor premiers Colts ... the Coast side now has to beat Pioneers on Saturday at Rugby Park to secure third spot.

A loss to Pioneers would result in a play-off with the fifth-placed team which apears to be Cities.

Coast played its last home game for the season at St Brendan's. Once again Coast looked the better side with the forwards getting the upper hand and the backs playing enterprising rugby.

Coast scored the only try of the match after some solid lead-up work from the tight forwards. Halfback Dave Ruck received a short pass from burly prop Mark Gilligan and scur-

ried over in the corner to score.

Another penalty added to Coast's score and at half time the locals led 7-6. In the second half Coast was camped in its opponent's quarter with luckless winger Mark Thompson taken from the field with a badly torn shoulder.

Once again the forward pack dominated and won its share of ball. Flanker Jeff Bennett missed a vital chance, losing the ball close to the line.

Hardworking prop Mark Gilligan scored, only to be pulled back when a scuffle broke out and Coast yet again was penalised and lost valuable territory.

Colts added two more penalties and the final score was 12-7 in its favour.

Swans' second 30-plus goal win YEPPOON Swans put their second successive 30 goal plus game together in a fiery clash with bottom Aussie Rules side Parkana.

Yeppoon steamrolled its opponents and should be ready for the showdown for second place with Gladstone this week.

Swans players were led by David "Yabbie" Bibby who dominated the aerial duels. In fact he took so many marks he was left with Sherrin imprinted on his hands.

Brett Motton is running into form and his nine goal effort last week at centre half forward was his season's best. Not only did he kick goals himself but also made countless opportunities for his fellow forwards.

Once again Steve Burns directed proceedings from the centre while the side's "BP" player, Grant Boyd, gave his usual wholehearted gritty performance.

by a knee injury, was a great ball winner and as is becoming the norm a grand distributor, topping the hand ball count for the second week.

"Ironman" Mark Taylor made it through the whole game without a hitch and "Professor" Bryan Munn brought the crowd to its feet ... kicking two goals from a neighbouring backyard in the last quarter.

Mick Wozniak was as safe as a church at fullback and Paul "Hack" Harris placed the selectors in a dilemma with another top performance.

Final score: Yeppoon 30-20-200 d Parkana 36-24.

Best players: Yabbie, Motton, Burns, Boyd and Tomkins. Goalkickers: Motton 9; Masek, Gardner 5; Munn 4; Cookie 2; Wigginton, Bibby, S Campbell, Tomkins, Burns 1.

YEPPOON Aussie Rules reserves had their biggest win of the season and it would be an injustice if the side misses the finals.

Phil Munro equalled the club record kicking 16 goals. He kicked them over his head, between his legs, backward and much to Uncle Bill's horror never missed.

"Chooka" Geissman had a blinder and it is a pity that injury forced him to miss much of the season. Brett Loram was very busy all over the forward line and JR Heathcote led his charges by example once more dominating play from the centre.

"Boo" Muller and Key Healy gave drive around their flanks, while Brett Odell continually broke his opponents' hearts with his long driving kicks turning defence into attack.

Final scores: Yeppoon 27-17-179 d Parkana 2-1-13.

FIVE years ago today the first issue of the Capricorn Coast Mirror was hit the streets. A lot of things have happened in those five years ... the paper has grown in size and in staff. It now provides full-time employment for six people; advertising sales representative (spaceman?)

Dave Ruck, office girl (manager/organiser) Sandra Mackie, cadet journalist Cathy Logan (Lois Lane?), photographer (comedian/rally driver) Rhodes Watson, Suzy Watson (Boss), and John "Old Baldy" Watson). That's a long way from the original Suzy/OB team, backed by sons Rhodes and Rhett, that kicked off on August 20, 1983. Back then, the Suzy/OB partnership sold the advertising, wrote the stories, took the photographs, typeset every advertisement and word that appeared in the then 12 pages, comped those ads and words to create the paper, drove them to Gympie, (taking Rhodes and Rhett with them the first week so they would understand why Mum and Dad were no longer at home) drove back, delivered them along the length of the Capricorn Coast ... then started all over again. Throughout those five years, Suzy and "OB" have been supported by their children. Both Rhodes and Rhett have worked long hours, day and night, throughoi their school holidays and on long weekends.

They have complained, there's no use making them out to be saints, but once they've had their say they've backed up again and helped Mum and Dad through thin and thinner (not a lot of thick in weekly newspapers). Along the way, Rhodes and Rhett have learned new skills ... and certainly understand the work ethic. They are masters at hand-rolling newspapers (between 400 and 500 an hour depending on whether they are working at a desk or in the front seat of a van); they have learned new words while rolling papers in Glad-wrap on wet days; they have met most of the Coast's business people while delivering the Mirror ... and have learned tact when dealing with tired parents. Each has become accustomed to the idea that a new computer is a much better investment than a new car; that a new camera is better than doing up the family home; that families that work together can still have fun, even when other kids get to go on holidays. Rhodes has quickly become a skilled photographer (don't let it go to your head, mate, there's still those mistakes "OB" will never let you forget) and will soon learn other skills directly related to the newspaper industry. Rhett has set up an advertising filing system at the Mirror that never fails. It has been his baby since the first issue (when he was only 10) and he keeps it up to date each week. In addition, both Rhodes and Rhett make superb cups of tea! This tribute to both of them may make their respective skins crawl and probably bring on a severe case of embarrassment ... but both deserve lavish praise. Maybe, some years down the track, they might turn up this issue of the Capricorn Coast Mirror and re-read what has been said about them ... if they do, they will know how much their help, support, and fices have contributed to the continuation this newspaper. They will know that these words have come directly from their parents (who knocked off my column by telling me what to write) ... and directly from two hearts.

Thanks sons!

LOOKING back over the five years there are too many people to thank by name. There are tha advertisers who have backed the Capricorn Coast Mirror and, not only paid their accounts, but have also said thanks for the results. There are the editorial contributors who have let us know what their organisation has been doing, and will be doing in the future. They, too, have said thanks for the results. There are the many delivery girls and boys, men and women, who have done more than just deliver the paper; they have shown an interest in the Mirror, taken note of unoccupied homes, gone out in all weather, on holidays, and taken the paper to the homes.

There are the delivery girls' and boys' parents who have "filled in" on Fridays when their child has been sick or away. And there are the readers, the thousands of people who each week pick up the Mirror, read it, and support the hundreds of advertisers by buying their products and using their services. Together, their efforts have helped the Capricorn Coast grow by providing jobs. Thanks to everyone. *** Well, before it gets too maudlin, I'll reran everyone about an item in the first issue of this column. "Old Baldy," was given a special mention in the first item for giving his wife a newspaper for her birthday (August 20, the date of the first issue). He reckoned it was a great gift. Well, he hasn't changed. This year he gave her (wait for it) a concrete slab in front of their `home. Now, there's a guy with class!!!
