New councillor to be appointed April 24 ANYONE resident of Livingstone Shire who wants to fill the vacancy in division one caused by Lawrie Daley's resignation this week can contact shire clerk Jim Brown or any councillor and ask to be nominated.

Shire chairman Cr John Bowen said council resolved on Wednesday to advertise the vacancy and call for nominations.

A special meeting of the council be held in the council chambers on April 24 from 9am.

Cr Bowen said if the person who was successful was present in the gallery, that person would be immediately sworn in and would be able to

attend the committee meeting set down to start at 10am.

Nominations are not restricted to residents of division one ... any resident who has been on the Livingstone electoral roll for one month is entitled to be nominated.

The requirements for a person seeking to be a councillOi will be available at council.

Cr Bowen said he would be contacting Lloyd Webber, as a matter of courtesy, to let him know there was a vacancy. (Mr Webber is the next in line following the Local Government election results last year).

It is likely more than one name will be put forward to fill the vacancy and, as a result, Cr Bowen said council would have to determine which name would be put forward first.

If the candidate whose name is voted on first receives a majority (seven votes) that person would be successful and no further names would be put forward. However, if that candidate did not receive a majority, a vote would be taken on the next candidate.

Mr Brown said he had received one letter from a man saying he was available to fill the vacancy.

A person seeking to fill the vacancy must fulfil

the requirements of the Local Government Act Section 7 (10)(i) relating to the replacement of a councillor.

The wording is: A qualified person is a person who res ides within the area (whole shire) and who is enrolled on a general roll pursuant to the Elections Act for the electoral district or districts or any part thereof comprised within the area not later than 30 clear days before the date of the special meeting at which the vacancy is to be filled or the date of appointment by the Governorin-Council as the case may be.

Daley resigns council's fragile unity explodes • By John and Suzy Watson

▪

THE fragile unity that has been a feature of this term of Livingstone Shire Council exploded into shouting and accusations this week ...and the appointment of a new councillor was the trigger.

Division one councillor Lawrie Daley has resigned and his replacerhent looks like being another incident that only Livingstone Shire can create.

The resignation took away the apparent warmth of "unity" and fanned the flames of distrust smouldering close to the surface in council.

Livingstone Shire is back in the Lotto business when only the "right" numbers count.

Council was only an hour into the April meeting when Cr Glenda Mather's notice of motion, calling on councillors to appoint the next in line, should a vacancy arise, came up for debate.

Minutes later the two people in the public gallery saw a re-run of many of the Livingstone Shire Council meetings from years gone by ... and the two in the gallery were former shire engineer Tony Rowe (the man sacked by the previous council) and Emu Park milkman Warren Spreadborough (the man rumoured to be favoured as Lawrie Daley's replacement).

The fragile unity was blasted apart when Cr Bowen ruled Cr Mather's notice of motion out of order and said it could not be dealt with at that meeting because Cr Daley had resigned and the vacancy had to be filled at a special meeting.

Cr Mather took a point of order. She said her notice of motion had been submitted before Cr Daley's resignation and should be treated in the same way as any other notice of motion she submitted.

Cr Bowen over-ruled her point of order. Cr Mather shouted back to him: "Will you please explain t o me why you are not going to deal wit h this."

Cr Bowen: "I've explained. The law."

Cr Mather: "I've read the book (Local Gov-

ernment Act) too. You're not going to manoeuvre yourself out of this one, by the way.

You've done it many times in the future (she corrected herself later to 'past') and it cost the ratepayers a lot of money."

Cr Bowen told Cr Mather she had been quick in the past to insist on council observing the Act so he asked Mr Brown to read the relevant section of the Act. After the reading, Cr Bowen continued with the meeting but Cr Mather came back to ask that her notice of motion be dealt with.

When Cr Bowen said "I've dealt with it," Cr Mather said "you think you have dealt with it, you haven't heard the last of it".

She turned out to be correct with that statement. Council moved on to receive the letters from pensioners, chamber and the petition then Cr Maurie Webb immediately moved a motion of dissent in the ruling from the chair.

Cr Mather seconded it, and it was on again.

Cr Webb said he could not believe the chairman would not handle an agenda item and hold it over to another meeting.

COUNCIL STAFF BACKS SANDMINING LIVINGSTONE Shire Council outdoor staff this week voted to support Pivot Group's Shoalwater Bay sandmining proposal.

AWU Rockhampton branch organiser Ian Gordon addressed council staff at a meeting on Wednesday morning.

He said staff carried the following motion: 'This meeting of the AWU, TWU and FEDFA union members employed by the Livingstone Shire Council expresses complete support for the proposed sand mining operation of the Pivot Group, which will create jobs for the local people. We also call on our employer, the Livingstone Shire

Council, to support this operation for the benfit of Yeppoon."

Mr Gordon said there were 58 members of the three unions at the meeting.

The AWU's Bundaberg district secretary and industrial officer from Brisbane had visited Yeppoon to speak on behalf of the Pivot project at the Capricorn Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry meeting held at Bavview Tower on Tuesday night.

Mr Gordon said the AWU supported mining and covered members working in the industry.

Comparing mining to tourism, Mr Gordon said tourists had to be attracted to the

Capricorn Coast but mining automatically created permanent jobs.

"I told the council staff that many of them must have children in the 14 to 18 age bracket who would be looking for jobs," Mr Gordon said.

"Unless something like this Pivot proposal comes along their children will have to move to Brisbane or elsewhere to find work.

That breaks up the family. They could see that."

Mr Gordon urged council staff, and everyone, to "employ locally, buy locally and create jobs in the town".

VACANCY SHATTERS SHIRE'S FRAGILE UNITY • CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Cr Brian Dorey rose, started to speak and immediately copped a point of order from Cr Webb for not speaking to the motion.

The whole council talked at once to point out to Cr Dorey that he wasn't speaking about the motion.

The debate raged until the vote when a division was called. Councillors had to stand to show they dissented from the chairman's niling.

The result was a six-six split. Voting against the chairman's ruling were Crs Webb, Mather, Roy Wall, Mike Prior, John Smith and John Dowie.

Crs Bowen, Dorey, Kev Hinz, Ellen Cogill, Ron Landsberg and Duncan McDonald supported the chairman's ruling.

Using his casting vote, Cr Bowen ruled against himself which meant the notice of motion could be debated. He said: "OK. I uphold the dissent against the ruling of the chair and that throws the democratic decision over to the council."

Before the debate, however, council broke for morning tea. During the break, Cr Mather

arranged for Mr Brown to phone Local Government director Ken Mead for a ruling on the chairman's ruling.

When the debate resumed, Mr Brown said Mr Mead had said Cr Mather's notice of motion was not out of order.

Finally, speaking to her motion, Cr Mather said the "history of this council when a vacancy has occurred" had cost "time, money and friendships and general feelings."

The adverse publicity probably cost quite a number of people coming to live here to deal with this council.

She said her motion was designed as a basic policy so council would say what it intended to do.

"I'm trying to save all of those feelings, all of those monetary costs."

She said ratepayers were screaming for roads, sewerage and water and council was spending its money on the wrong issues.

Previous appointments had taken Supreme Court action to settle and the council had been on the verge of being sacked.

Also, she believed members of the public had been misled into believing they could be appointed to council. She wanted to eliminate that "false hope".

She hoped if members were sincere for getting a policy on appointments for the future, they would support her motion.

She said she had not lobbied ... "you're old enough to make up your own minds".

Referring to an old newspaper cutting, Cr Mather was about to read it when Cr gill asked how much longer Cr Mather had to speak. Cr Mather replied: "You be quiet and I'll be quick".

Closing her remarks, she said council needed something that would stop all the rubbish at the table, that stopped all the extra work for the staff.

"Let's stop all the bad feelings," she said.

Cr Dorey, speaking against the motion, Said he was not prepared to have taken away from him, at anytime in his life, the freedom to make his own decision at some future time.

If a policy was adopted he would still challenge it because there was nothing in the book that said he couldn't.

The most important thing was that the people's choice should be respected.

He said the next in line might have the highest votes but that wasn't the only thing; "it is the qualities of the man".

Referring to the previous two appointments (Cr Bowen as chairman to replace Lindsay Hartwig and Cr Dowie to replace Jim Anderson) Cr Dorey said it wasn't clear-cut, it was six against six.

When Mr Hartwig had resigned, he had stood for the chair even though he wasn't next in line. But he voted for Dowie who was next in line.

"So I have no pattern. My pattern is based on my attitude, my assessment, my decision and my choice," he said.

Cr Cogill then spoke. She said she was not happy with the debate. She thought it was preempting the special meeting (to appoint Cr Daley's replacement). She asked could she move that the motion be "not put".

Cr Mather took a point of order saying that Mr Brown could clear up whether it was preempting the meeting. He could give Mr Mead's (Local Government director) opinion.

Mr Brown said Mr Mead had heard the circumstances of the earlier debate and "was inclined to dissent from your (Cr Bowen's) ruling" ... provided the council adopted it as 'policy'.

It wouldn't be binding because council still had a statutory obligation to meet and consider future appointments. On that occasion, because policy was not binding on council, members could dissent and make another

39 6398

appointment.

Cr Bowen then called for a seconder to Cr Cogill's motion that the notice of motion be "not put". Cr Hinz seconded the motion.

A division was called on the voting. The following councillors stood to show they were in favour of the motion "not to put" Cr Mather's motion: Crs Bowen, Dorey, Hinz, Smith, Cogill, Landsberg, McDonald and Dowie.

Those against were Crs Mather, Webb, Wall and Prior. The vote was 8 for and 4 against and the motion "not to put" was carried.

The general meeting carried on but that wasn't the last of the dissension.

• Later in the day, Cr Wall moved a motion calling on council not to borrow $2 million for Emu Park sewerage, saying council would be $22 million in debt by 1992 and debt had been the major issue in the election of the previous council.

• Cr Webb later argued that he was a division two councillor and he wasn't being given all the information that others seemed to have.

He was referring to a decision to make a car park in John Street, between Como and Surfside.

There are fences to be mended before council returns to the unity that has made such a marked difference in this term.

HARBOUR BASE A COMBINED operations base and information centre is proposed for Rosslyn Bay Environment and Conservation Minister Geoff Muntz announced the new centre was in response to increased visits to the area and the department's greater conservation manage-1 ment role in the region.

"It will be funded by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority under day-to-day management arrangement with the commonwealth," he said.

"Additional staff at Rosslyn Bay and Mackay are required to manage the new Mackay-Capricorn Queensland and Commonwealth marine parks which were declared last year."

Cr Wall votes against no-interest sewerage loan Council debt to be $22 million by 1992

COUNCILLOR Roy Wall recalled the 1985 election campaign on Tuesday when he called on council not to accept a $2 million interestfree loan to sewer Emu Park.

Using figures provided earlier in the day, Cr Wall said council would have borrowed $22 million by 1992, according to projections.

He was discussing a proposal to accept the $2 million offered by the State Government to assist with sewering Emu Park.

Cr Wall moved council reject the loan on the grounds that some years ago, when borrowings had totalled $14 million, there had been a "terrific scream" from the public that council had overspent to be so far in debt.

(Cr Wall was chairman at the time and this issue became the main point of contention in

Upper Stoney access closed

THE Forestry Department has closed, indefinitely, access to its park at Upper Stony.

"Since the start of March a total of 615 mm (about 24 inches) of rain has fallen at Byfield," assistant district forester Ross Manderson.

"Most was in the last days of March and early April. The subsoil under the gravel road was absolutely water logged and creek crossings and culverts have been damaged by the rain."

The department is uncertain when the access will be sufficiently thy enough to carry out repairs and reopen the park.

Waterpark and Red Rock State Forest Parks will remain open and offer alternatives to Upper Stony.

the 1985 council elections. Cr Wall, Cr Bowen and Lindsay Hartwig fought for the chair and Mr Hartwig won with about two-thirds of the vote. A year later, Mr Hartwig resigned and Cr Bowen was appointed to replace him.)

"Shortly after that, a particular council was on the way to reduced loan borrowings, was going to do everything out of revenue, no more loans and all that load of rubbish and we find here, now, that by 1992 the council could be faced with loans of $22 million, a rise from 1989 of $6 million," Cr Wall said.

"That's the reason I'm against it. Not only that but also because the combined scheme, the way it's set up, means the ratepayers of Yeppoon face an additional S70 each year for sewerage costs from 1992 to supplement Ern Park at a time when they could be getting some reduction."

Council had been told "time after time" to increase its rate base and it could reduce its rates.

"Well the rate base has been increasing for x number of years and the rates have done nothing but increase," he said.

Cr Kev Hinz supported borrowing the money.

He said council had worked hard to get help from the State Government to sewer Emu Park and had been offered $2 million interest free.

"It's the best offer we've had for the last five years and if we don't take this we'll never get the sewerage scheme off the ground whatsoever," Cr Hinz said.

"I think it's ridiculous to fight like hell to get this then say no we're not going to go ahead with the scheme. The only way to go ahead is to borrow the money."

Shire chairman Cr John Bowen said there was

a major difference between this loan and what Cr Wall was referring to.

"In those days we were borrowing money over 15 years to buy vehicles that were rusting out in five years," he said.

"What we're borrowing here is a special loan.

You all know that in the public interest, not in political interest, but truly in the public interest, that we have to stop some of the eye, nose, ear infections and children with punctured eardrums, all arising out of an antiquated sewerage dilemma that's been there for many years.

"I believe this council has worked very well together, it has seen it has a duty of care to at least borrow money for some of those things and this is going to be in existence for a long time after the loan has been paid out."

This was much wiser than some of the loans that council was taking in the past.

Council had resolved the problem of the past by creating a machinery pool and now had a large sum of money to buy vehicles and did not have to borrow.

"I believe this council is doing the right thing," Cr Bowen said.

The motion was carried with Cr Wall voting against.

Cr Glenda Mather then asked council to take steps to see its loan borrowings did not increase over and above what it had now.

"We have water, we have sewerage. Apart from roads we don't want any more loans," she said.

Cr Bowen said this was the other thing that Cr Wall had pointed out. On the loans programme from now into the future, council could exercise restraint by considering the need each time it went to borrow.

"There's no need to let it grow to S22 million without good reason," he said.

"I don't believe we'd take out loans indiscriminately but naturally I think we have to try to cut back on the loans."

Fund for chapel Rockhampton Mayor has no plan Coast student to take over Livingstone Shire in Aust. team A TRUST, funded by a $5000 Federal Government grant, will be established by Livingstone Shire Council to maintain St Christopher's Chapel at Nerimbera.

Member for Capricornia Keith Wright said Arts, Sport, Environment, Tourism and Territories Minister Senator Graham Richardson had approved the grant following representations he had personally made to the Minister.

"The grant will provide a small sum of money for annual maintenance and security of this Chapel," Mr Wright said.

"Unfortunately it has been plagued by vandals over some years and is deteriorating."

Mr Wright said St Christopher's Chapel was on the register of the National Estate and had strong links with the United States army unit which built it in 1943.

"In the past the Beak family had personally worked hard to maintain and protect the Chapel and excellent work had also been carried out by RSL representatives and local citizens," he said.

"Although the $5000 is only a small amount of money, it will be welcomed by those who have worked so hard in the past to preserve this important part of Central Queensland's heritage.

"The establishment of a trust fund is an excellent idea and I am hoping other organisations and interested groups will contribute to the trust fund so it would have an earning capacity to provide enough finance for the Chapel's ongoing repairs, maintenance and security."

Fish workshop A RECREATIONAL fishing workshop catering for beginners and people who want to know a bit more about the tackle and techniques involved will be held at Yeppoon High School.

Run by Dave Donald, the workshop on the weekend of May 6 and 7, will feature hands on participation - making knots and rigs, how to cast, throwing a cast net - as well as videos and static displays.

Dave will also talk about the main species of fish available on the Capricorn Coast and when and how to catch them.

Bookings for the course should be made through the Rockhampton TAFE College.

A course catering for anglers who wish to make their own fishing rods will also be available in May in Rockhampton. The TAFE College has details.

ROCKHAMPTON Mayor Ald Jim Webber said this week he had no plans to take over Livingstone Shire ... nor had he ever raised that possibility.

He was commenting on a statement by Member for Broadsound Denis Hinton published March 31in which, among other things, Mr Hinton said the Capricorn Coast was not in the business of allowing a Rockhampton Labor takeover "that would choke us to death".

Ald Webber said Mr Hinton's whole statement was "a load of rubbish". He said neither he, nor Rockhampton City Council, had any plans to take over Livingstone Shire.

He had not even raised the possibility in conversation. Ald Webber said Mr Hinton's comments had been made following broadcast of a TV interview.

"I was asked on TV to comment on a Brisbane bureaucrat's remark that unless Rockhampton, Fitzroy and the Capricorn Coast got together none of us would ever get anywhere," Ald Webber said.

'That bureaucrat, the one who caused the intererview, was one of his National Party crew."

Ald Webber said he had said on TV, the same as he had said at public functions, that the three areas had to work together ... but he had not given the idea that a takeover was involved.

"Some of the interview was cut and the introduction failed to mention that I was responding to a bureaucrat but anyone who knows me would realise I am wholly in favour of regionalism," he said. "I did say on TV that the question of the areas joining had been raised before but it h ad never got anywhere.

"But I was responding to another person's comments ... I did not initiate the discussion."

Ald Webber said petty parochialism was not going to help the region. It was parochialism which caused division.

In the past month Rockhampton had hosted the Queensland manager of Qantas, the Asian manager Alan Loke and Qantas' passenger manager in Tokyo Mr Nonoka.

"Each of them was shown Rockhampton and was taken to the Capricorn Iwasaki Resort and Great Keppel Island," Ald Webber said.

"We always take visitors to the Coast ... Rockhampton and the Coast complement each other."

He said Rockhampton paid the expenses involved in these visits including the cost of a helicopter charter to take Mr Nonoka to Heron

Island, the Reef, Great Keppel and Iwasakis.

In addition, both Livingstone Shire chairman Cr John Bowen and Mr Hinton were invited to Glenmore Homestead to attend a dinner in Mr Nonoka's honour. Cr Bowen had also been invited to a dinner held on the Coast.

"Denis Hinton had a shot at Rockhampton Airport saying it would lose traffic to one proposed for Great Keppel Island but he must remember our airport is built and serving the needs of the region ... his is still on the drawing board and has to prove there is sufficient traffic to warrant going ahead," Ald Webber said.

"What has Mr Hinton done to bring tourism tc the Capricorn region? We have tourism representatives visiting for four weeks,in May and June tc put together different packages. What has Mr Hinton done?"

Ald Webber said far from knocking the Capricorn Coast, he had invested in property because he could see it had a big future.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

HEINEMANN: 'MY PETITION' OPEN letter to the people of Kinka Beach, Emu Park and Zilzie and Mr Webber in reply to the article on page one of last week's Mirror, 7-14 April, 1989, titled: Emu Park splits over `Townie' councillor push.

I started the petition in an endeavour to get a person from the Coast area to represent us on the council. It was started because so many citizens asked for it.

Voting trends in the last two elections have clearly shown the electors are well aware of the need for division one councillors to be elected with one from the Coast and one from the rural area. There are no factions as suggested in your front page article.

There are people who are active in local organisations and service clubs in the Emu Park area and have been for years who, we think, would efficiently represent us on the council, including people who nominated in the last election but were not elected.

A large number of important council projects

are in process around the area of Kinka Beach, Emu Park and Zilzie that will require the dedicated services of a councillor centrally based and readily accessible to the people here.

Politics are not involved at all - simply commonsense and self-preservation.

Ask yourself Mr Webber what have you done since the last election to enhance your profile before the voters and ratepayers of division one, or in the immediate past few months since you became aware of the probable resignation of Cr Lawrence Daley from the Livingstone Shire Council.

Mr Webber, you cannot expect to charge out from among the trees at Cawarral to speak for us. We haven't seen or heard from you for months and months. In fact not since the date of the last council election.

This is the reason for the petition. The petition is from the electors and ratepayers of Kinka, Emu Park and Zilzie.

- TobyHeinemann, Fountain Street, Emu Palk

'WEBBER SHOULD BE NEXT' I SENT Mr Heinemann marching the other day when he had a petition to put a town person into replace Laurie Daley ... and he hadn't even resigned!

Itold him that if Cr Daley did resign Lloyd Webber (the next in line) should take his place.

That's the way the people voted just a year ago.

The people with the petition are saying they haven't got anything against Mr Webber, but they must have because the petition says a person from Zilzie, Emu Park or Kinka Beach.

Why don't they have the gumption to put Mr Spreadborough's name on the petition, since he seems to be the one they are pushing.

Why didn't they take up a petition for and against? That would have been fair.

They would probably have just as many signatures against.

Why the big hoo-haa about a Zilzie, Emu Park or Kinka Beach man taking Cr Daley's place.

After 27 years in office my father-in-law, the late Dick Tennent, lost his position as councillor by a similar campaign.

No-one took up a petition when we in Emu Park didn't have a resident councillor for those three years.

I back Mr Webber 100 per cent on his comments in last week's Mirror. Perhaps they think Mr Webber is too outspoken, but that's what we need.

Why should Emu Park suffer because of politics?

- Marilyn Tennent, 20 Ferguson Street, Emu Park.

NI WON'T SIGN THE PETITION' I WOULD like to add to the debate about a `Townie' for councillor in Emu Park.

Firstly, I would like to say I don't think. the petition should have been started and I certainly would never sign it.

If Mr Daley resigns (wouldn't I laugh if he doesn't) whether we like Mr Webber or not, he is next in line.

Remember Ann Giorgi? When she had time off clue to ill health did anyone call for a `Townie' then.

Withoos 'tore up petition' FORMER Zilzie General Store owner Frank Withoos contacted the Capricorn Coast Mirror last week to say he was disgusted that a petition was circulating to find a replacement for Cr Laurie Daley when there had been no resignation.

"I was approached to sign the petition and I tore it up in front of the man," he said.

"Cr Daley hasn't resigned (he was speaking last Friday) and I feel everybody should wait until he makes his own decision before taking any action."

At our last election we had another three `Townies' and they ended up on the bottom of the list.

Now I have heard talk of another one who is interested in this so-called vacancy, what now?

Do we go for the highest vote or draw straws.

As for the hundreds of signatures on that petition, did the people really know what they were signing.

- Dahlia Kelly, Emu Paik.

Health Centre moving to Como THE ground floor of Como Holiday Units, Anzac Parade, Yeppoon will be the Community Health Centre's new home.

The centre, presently next to Yeppoon Hospital, has to move to make way for construction of the new nursing home.

Member for Broadsound Denis Hinton said the Community Health Centre was fortunate

to obtain first class facilities in an outstanding position. The lease starts on May 1, 1989.

"The 120 square metres of the complex is being leased by the State Health Department and the area is to be remodelled over the next two weeks by the State Works Department to provide for the centre's needs," Mr Hinton said.

Carpark between Surfside and Como but road won't be closed LIVINGSTONE Shire Council resolved this week to seal the roadway between Como and Surfside to create a large parking area ... but not before a dispute flared over whether the road was being illegally closed.

Shire chairman Cr John Bowen told council designs had shown two lanes of parking at the lower end of John Street (between the accommodation blocks) but it had been found two lanes would not leave sufficient room for cars to reverse out of parking bays.

Cr Maurie Webb said he felt "very strongly" that the road should go through to link up with the rest of John Street.

He said as a division two representative he wanted to know what was going on in John Street. He said there was a lack of communication.

He said the plan that council had approved allowed the road to go through (in the future).

Shire engineer Pat Murphy said the original idea was to basically sort out what was going to happen in front of Como units.

A plan had been drawn showing two lanes of centre parking but this had been modified to one lane allowing vehicles to drive in and out without reversing.

Cr Bowen said pressure would shortly be put on council to eliminate all parking in Anzac Parade. Making John Street a through road would create traffic problems and lose the nature of the area.

This was a "graphic example" of why people didn't support the idea of a four-lane highway across the front of Yeppoon.

"I believe the best use of that area of land is for parking. It's going to be the shortest commodity in Anzac Parade if the four-lane highway ever goes through the existing part of the esplanade," he said.

"I believe we should, at all costs, maintain that area for the maximum number of parking spaces possible and not allow it to become a through road."

He said that was the decision of the table in adopting the carparking plan.

Cr Webb interjected with "rubbish". He said council was debating things a couple of people wanted. Years ago there was a move to close the road (John Street).

The move had stopped when people contacted Ministers to fight the plan.

Cr Bowen replied that it was not a closure; council was utilising the end of John Street. Cr Webb answered: "You're trying to close John Street. I'm not having it."

As the debate progressed it turned out there was a time factor on the work because Community Health wants to lease the ground floor of Como and if the work did not go ahead the department would not proceed with its plans.

Cr Webb wanted to know why this had become the issue since it was last debated. "I'm in

the business of talking about lack of communication," he said.

"There are division two councillors here who don't know a thing about this. It's not good enough."

Cr Bowen said it would all come out if Cr Webb gave it time. He wanted a letter read to council which explained the situation.

Cr Brian Dorey drew a map on the board to show traffic flow and said no-one wanted a four-lane highway along the front. He drew parking spaces in John Street showing areas along the creek for cars to make the maximum use of the area.

Cr Webb called out: "Mr Chairman, that is, in effect, a road closure. It should be advertised to give every person in the area the opportunity to object or otherwise."

He asked council to follow the proper procedure when closing a road.

Shire engineer Pat Murphy said "this is going on about nothing". He said council had been shown a preliminary plan which had been prepared for estimating purposes.

He said showing someone a layout that was not final was "suicidal".

Moving to the board to Cr Dorey's drawing, Mr Murphy said the design should look at having a through road and both Crs Webb and Wall agreed with him.

Mr Murphy said it was still a dedicated road but it was a no through road to traffic.

There was further debate during which it came out that making a carpark that catered for a through road would mean levels would cut access to three units at Surfside.

Cr Bowen resolved this by suggesting the road would not need to be opened to traffic for at least eight years and during that time, a level carpark would pay for itself. It could be bulldozed in the future when it was necessary.

Cr Wall said that in the interests of good planning a pass or opening must be left for the future.

He said two businesses would have a free carpark but council had to consider the public as a whole.

Cr John Dowie said council was always talking about the future "great mass of traffic but I've been here 20 years and I can't see any change in the traffic".

Cr Ellen Cogill suggested council build a level carpark and put up a sign saying anything it wanted about the area still being a road.

Cr Mike Prior said if a survey was carried out in Yeppoon less than two per cent of people would know that John Street, between the units, was a road.

Council resolved to make a level parking area with no spaces across the back.

Cr John Smith called out that it would have been easier if the five division two councillors had gone and had a look at the area before the debate.

Cr Cogill asked could council get back to the agenda and Cr Webb replied "there are people on this side of the table who take an interest in the town".

Cr Cogill had the last word ... when asked if division three councillors had any queries about roadworks in their area she said there was no queries, "we've done our homework".

A.K. FINDLAY BUILDING SOLD...AND HIS SONS AND DAUGHTERS LC FOUR descendants of Andrew Knight Findlay have sold the James Street premises which have been a part of their family for almost 70 years.

The A.K. Findlay building will be owned by the Wide Bay Capricorn Building Society on April 24 following exchange of contracts and deposit earlier this month.

The green store with residence above has been a part of Yeppoon for six decades and the drapery is a landmark for its old-world charm.

Phyllis Murphy, who has been a part of the store since her youth, and has lived in one of the flats, will initially move to Rockhampton.

The famous building was built in 1930 (opened January, 1931) by Andrew Knight Findlay and it housed he and his wife, Emily, and their five- children, Henry William (born 1918); Dorothy Amelia (Dorrie Brown) (1920); Phyllis Anne Murphy (1921); Lester (Walter) James (1923) and Keith John (1932).

The sale this month closes one chapter of the Findlay family success story that started in 1920 when Andrew Knight (A.K.) Findlay came to Yeppoon, stayed one day, and decided this would be his future home.

A.K., who was born July 24, 1889, was aged 27 when he visited Yeppoon from Capella. He was looking for somewhere to bring Emily and family to settle permanently.

Dorrie Brown, acknowledged as the Findlay family historian, said he liked what he saw and found premises that day for the fit* Findlay business.

A shop was available on the corner of Mary and James Streets (now Dave's Video Hire, previously Bill Green Real Real Estate).

Across the road, where BP Yeppoon now stands, he had a meal at Mrs B.C. Cranston's Oyster ROoms and Refreshments.

"For two shillings (20 cents) he had a meal complete with oysters and learned there was an opening for a cobblers and saddlery shop," Dorrie said.

"He went from Yeppoon to Rockhampton where he met Mr William Herbert Trotman

Smidth, a cobbler and saddler, and that man taught my father shoemaking in a fortnight.

"Dad was taught well and learned fast ... everyone used to say Dad was a good shoemaker."

After his fast apprenticeship, A.K. went back to Capella, where he married Emily in 1918. They later moved to Emerald then Sydney, where he worked on the tramways.

Their first son, Henry, was born at Capella.

Dorrie was born at Emerald and Phyllis in Sydney in 1921.

The same year, they moved to Yeppoon and set up their saddlery business on the corner of James and Mary Streets.

A.K. prospered from the start. The Coucom family was also involved in the saddlery business but there was work-aplenty because the convent school (St Ursula's) provided a neverending supply of shoes that needed mending.

About a year later, A.K. boughtiand with a shed on it in James Street, next the the Club Hotel, He built a shop and residence including the luxury of gas lighting.

On completion, he rented out half to Mr J Lamb who sold groceries and hardware.

From these premises, A.K. soon built up a name for selling anything ... boots, shoes, bicycles and parts, millinery, fancy goods, furniture, glassware, stationery ... anything Yeppoon wanted.

"His slogan was A.K. Sells It. Dressmaking was also a specialty," Dorrie said. "Mum, with five children, did the dressmaking at night and served in the shop all day.

Drapery was the basis of the business but over the years A.K. saw the need for an ice works, a skating rink, dance hall, a second picture theatre (the first open-air picture show was owned by Harry Webber on the site where the Pacific Hotel stands today), fishing boats and a cafe.

By 1925 A.K. was progressing well enough in the drapery business, and associated businesses on the same premises, to expand into a new venture.

In partnership with Alec Jamieson, A.K. opened a dance hall and picture theatre in Myola -Hall, which stood on the site of the Westpac Bank today (corner of James and Hill Streets).

Again, busineis was brisk and the family prospered for five years. Then, on October 13, 1930, the family had its first major set-back ... their James Street drapery store was burnt out in a major fire that started where Tucker's James Street Butchery stands today.

The fire swept through four shops. There was no fire brigade ... and no insurance.

Undeterred, A.K. went ahead with a new shop. The building that was sold this month rose from the ashes and opened the following year, at the height of the Depression. (Dorrie recalls people criticised her father for the trouble he took to make the third, and present, shop fireproof.)

In the same year, 1931, a cyclone struck Yeppoon. Dorrie, has vivid memories of the day. She has notes collected over the years for a book she is writing to be called Turning Back the Years. From those notes she recalled that February day.

The primary school was then at the back of Findlay's Store and only five children had turned up because of the weather.

There were two Johnstons and Henry, Dorrie and Phyllis Findlay. Rail pelted down, the sky was black and gutters flowed.

"The teachers were marvellous," Dorrie said. "They brought us home then we all went and watched the cyclone on the Yeppoon beachfront.

"Someone had called 'Quick Andy (A.K.), the sea' and we all started running to the beach, the teachers and all. There was no thought for the danger we were in."

Standing on the beachfront they watched the cyclone take the beach away ... then the first changing shed went, followed by others.

Mountainous seas lashed the beachfront that day and by the close of February 6, Dorrie had seen the beach and sheds disappear ... and

her first waterspout, which had formed over Double Heads.

By low tide the town had turned out to walk along what was left of the beach. Debris was everywhere from the shattered surf sheds.

"The men were busy discussing plans that day for new sheds and work started on them on February 20, just a fortnight later," Dorrie said.

"Those were the days when you had to help yourself. There was no-one else to help you.

Those businessmen rebuilt those sheds on their own."

Dorrie Brown remembers her youth well.

Along with memories of cyclones and fires she remembers the five Findlay children serving in the shop from the time they were old enough to reach above the counter.

But there were breaks ... "After school we would go to the Club Hotel with Jim and Janet Frethey," she said. "Andy Geedrick was cook and he would give us bread and jam or bread and dripping with pepper and salt.

"I can still hear him saying to my mother: `Missie your lovely kids love Andy and come every day. I feed them good tucker. Boss Jim Frethey don't mind'."

The hours were long but there are no regrets. The family was a solid part of Yeppoon providing much-needed goods and services.

One new venture she well remembers was a cafe at Ross Creek which she and Phyllis effectively controlled while still youngsters.

Oysters on a plate were sold, with a slice of bread, for two shillings (20 cents) vinegar supplied. Dorrie, even today, reckons she makes the best fish rissoles in town.

Being young, Dorrie and Phyllis had a different outlook on life from what customers expected. "We didn't think it strange to close up for an hour and go for a swim in the creek," she said.

"We still swim like fishes, and 'so did Dad. He didn't really mind us going for a swim in business hours."

The swimming, of course, was confined to when business was slack. "Those days, people were trustworthy. We would watch from the creek and rush and serve when customers arrived. Once they sighted the costumes there were no problems."

The fish sold, of course, were supplied from the family's own boats. Ice for the boats came from the back of the drapery store, where Henry Finlay ran the iceworks.

During the 1930sA.K. and Mr Jamieson dissolved their partnership and A.K. built and opened the Regent Theatre showing "talkies".

Henry and Lester. Findlay (until he joined the Army), who had learned to be projectionists at the Myola Hall theatre, worked long hours in the Regent screening sessions from the morning through until late at night.

Dorrie and Phyllis were usherettes and, at one stage, the theatre was used as a dance and skating rink ... and Dorrie and Phyllis spent one day learning to roller skate and the next day were teaching the new sport.

Lester (Walter) used to polish the floors by riding a motor-bike around the arena towing a bag. But the skating craze died and they were back in the picture business.

As the '30s closed Australia entered World War II and the Rockhampton-based 42nd Battallion set up camp at Yeppoon. Business prospered, especially the Regent Theatre.

But disaster struck a second time. In June, 1941, the notoriously unstable nitrate film burst into flames one night while Henry was projectionist.

"Henry's face and hands were badly burnt in the fire ... terribly burnt," Dorrie said.

"Nothing could be saved. The hall was packed and by the time we cleared the people it was impossible to save anything.

"The 42nd Battallion formed a bucket brigade and managed to save Mrs Graham's house which was next door (now the site of H.W. Findlay Pty Ltd).

The second fire was another major setback ... once again the building not insured.

A.K. set about rebuilding. It was wartime and a permit was needed but it was hastily arranged because there was a solid need for the business ... and the Americans arrived in 1942 providing more prosperity.

By the end of the war the family was firmly established as part of Yeppoon. As sons and daughters grew up, they were given a start in life and made their own way.

Each had the ability to turn a hand to any

task after the opportunities they had received from their parents.

Dorrie recalled briefly the various fields the five children experienced: Henry learned how to run the iceworks machinery and the film projectors and branched out into electrical contracting.

Dorothy (Dorrie) had a hair salon upstairs where A.K. had Mr F.C. Clifton working as a tailor. By day, Dorrie was a hairdresser and by night, an usherette at the picture show. She is married to Bob Brown and they built a house on the land next to the fire station. Dorrie and Bob later bought Glenroy Flats, sold them to Ken Osborne, and bought Kepp4,-View the same day. (Corney's Hardware is 'on the site today.) They extended onto their house and built the Yeppoon Shell Museum.

Phylliswas always the backbone of the drapery business. She has spent most of her life there. In recent years she ran the business while her mother crocheted at her favourite spot in the store.

Lester repaired bicycles as part of the business, was part of the fishing operation and owned a billiards room, worked with Henry, designed and built his own boat then returned to the fishing industry, investing his money in buying and renting houses. (Lester is known as Walter because the Minister had written the wrong name on his birth certificate. During his early years, he was known as Lester,as he had been Christened, but a school bank account could not be opened because his birth certificate was shown to have him nalned as Walter.

He took the new name, although some family members still refer to him as Lester.)

Keith ran the sports shop, restrung racquets, and, together with his mother, bought Stanhive Flats, which he sold in 1980. When his father died, Keith continued as book-keeper to the A.K. Findlay business.

A.K. Findlay died on March 3, 1966. He went to work as usual on.the day and around 10.30 to llam said he wasn't feeling well.

Dorrie recalls: "He went upstairs and sat in the lounge. A friend, Ron O'Brien, went up and Dad asked for a drink. Ron went to the kitchen and when he returned Dad was dead.

"He got his wish. He used to say 'when I die, I hope it's quick'."

Dorrie recalls the year of his death because it coincided with the introduction of decimal currency.

"He never came to terms with decimal currency," she said. "After a lifetime in business it was just something he didn't understand. I've always believed it was the worry over decimal currency that killed him."

Emily Findlay died in May last year. Her death brought about the end of the drapery business.

Phyllis had kept the business open because her mother loved to sit and talk with the customers.

The shop was a landmark because it was a direct link with the past. Nothing had been changed either inside or outside.

Whenever changes were proposed, Emily Findlay said what was there had been good enough for him and it was good enough for her.

Shortly after her death the shop had a sale and closed in August.

It has been open intermittently since then to sell the last of the stock. Being prime real estate in the heart of Yeppoon the building attracted a steady stream of people interested in buying it.

Bob Melaney principal of Elders Real Estate, Yeppoon, showed buyers from the the Wide Bay-Capricorn Building Society through the shop last month and contracts were signed.

Looking back this week, the five Findlays said they were proud of what their mother and father had achieved from a humble beginning.

Dorrie, the family spokesman, said: "We are all grateful we lived in the right era.

"Hazel (Henry's wife) and I visited Mrs Hutley after. Mum's funeral and she was so pleased we came, and so were we.

"She said 'Do you know, Dorothy, I lost a real friend when your mother died. She helped my husband and me a lot when we first came to Yeppoon. Bless Her.' "Mrs Hutley was one of several who approached us to tell of our parents' good deeds during the Depression. The love and affection we all shared.

"On behalf of all the Findlay family, I wish to thank everyone for their support and loyalty during our term in business."

DO you know what Tai Chi is? The poster given to me by Margaret Eggins of Emu Park says it's the ultimate health exercise for body and mind fitness.

It is a slow moving, graceful and gentleway of exercising. The movements exercise the body and the meditation (don't worry, it's to help you concentrate on your body) improves your mind. The inner body is also exercised with the many forms of slow movement.

You know how quickly your baby is soothed when you gently and softly rub a part of its body ... well Tai Chi is the same, only you aren't rubbing your body. The exercises give peace.

Tai Chi is suitable for all ages from littlies to oldies and biggies.

The teacherwill only go to Emu Park if there are enough people interested. But, at the moment because the small group is so keen, a class starts on Monday, April 17 in the Catholic Church Hall, Archer Street at 10am.

Take your kids, there will be someone to make sure they don't get into mischief. Contact Margaret, 39 6082 if transport is a problem ... she will arrange to get you to the hall and home again. *** THE Blood Bank at Yeppoon Hospital is every third Saturday in the month from 1.30pm to 3pm and this is the weekend. *** WELL, the first night has arrived ... Saturday night is the Music Hall '89 production in Yeppoon Town Hall.

You will remember ... and it doesn't matter whether you are 6, 16 or 60, because Yeppoon Choral Society has made sure the music will appeal to all.

If you miss Saturday's production, the last chance is the following Saturday.

Bookings are through Stewart and Brumm Chemists or at the door. *** SCOPE has organised another Rock n Roll night at La Bamba ... Saturday, May 6.

LADIES BOWLS CLEAR, sunny skies and a cool gentle breeze helped Yeppoon Ladies Bowls Club patroness Vera Wilson celebrate her special day on Tuesday.

The green played well after the large amount of rain during the past few weeks.

Patroness Vera thanked the ladies for providing so many lucky door prizes and the Goodies for afternoon tea.

"In return Vera, we thank you for the lovely trophies you gave for the afternoon's play," publicity officer Ivy McNamara said.

Names were picked from the hat and the •winning team, skipped by E Hinton, was V Austin, N Garner and R Shields. Second were G Powell, D Roos, L Dunphy and S Connor with F Denney's team of P Childs, M Freeman and J Hoare the other lucky recipients.

As most players will be in Rockhampton next week playing pennants, there are only two competitions called.

"There will be plenty of room for social play, so come on all you members who have always wanted to be skips, here is your chance.

"And you will have the fun of your life doing just that. Come on everyone, make it worth the greenkeeper's while marking the green for you.

"Hilda Villiers is umpire for the morning competitions and I feel sure she will be only too pleased to help you if you er - 'get lost'."

9am, B singles: J Cain v S Connor, marker is F Denney. C singles: Y Riordan v P Fortune and May Manthey is their 'guardian angel'.

"Good bowling to the ladies playing pennants next week. Please do not be late. The bus leaves the clubhouse at 8.10am sharp each day," she said.

"Welcome back to Rowena Stevens, who has been visiting her family for the past six months.

It is good to see Vera Austin playing again and I hope it will be on a regular basis.

"To our dear little 'sleepy head' Rae ... wind up the alarm next week, there's a good girl."

Capricorn Coast Mirror April 14 - April 20, 1989 - 11 DESPITE the unseasonal 'wet' experienced in Yeppoon, Nancy Devantier, Phyl Rumpf and Marge Cornell were still able to provide a colourful floral display at the monthly social of the Yeppoon Pensioner's League in the Town Hall on Tuesday afternoon.

At the end of the afternoon the blooms were distributed among the social-goers. Marje Cornell was the compere for the day and she extended birthday greetings to those who had a birthday recently ... Stella Lubach, Alice Ganter, Thelma Shuttlewood, Dulcie Cooper, Marj Howland, Edna Cameron, Dolly Chambers, Lucy O'Brien, Frank Howard and Tom Poole.

The afternoon was opened with a musical interlude by Marje Cornell (piano) Tony Ceff (violin) and Arthur Lawn (saxophone). This same trio gave a return performance during the second half of the afternoon, this time with a medley of popular tunes.

One of the delights of a social afternoon is listening to a good pianist and Patty Gambier demonstrated her ability with a rendition of 'Barcarolle'. Concert-goers will want to hear more of Patty at future socials.

The Entertainers were on stage singing a bracket of numbers 'April Showers' being the most appropriate. They were accompanied on the piano by Lynda Leech.

In the second half the group gathered around the piano and pleased all with another bracket of tuneful songs.

The versatile Arthur Lawn exchanged his sax for a tin whistle and rendered of course 'Whistling Rufus'. In response to audience demand Arthur 'whistled' a second tune. It's certain he and his whistle will be on the programme more often.

John Smythe, a member of the singing group The Entertainers, who, at the March social sang a duo of Irish melodies, showed those present he is just as much at home singing Scotch tunes with his offerings of 'Northern Glasgow'. He was accompanied on the piano . by Lynda Leech.

Tony Ceff teamed with pianist Marje Cornell in a piano-violin duet and later Tony took up his saxophone for a further duet with Marje.

Joe McIntyre recounted one of Stanley Holloway's gems ... 'Marksman Sam' and added 'Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels'.

Soloists Lynda Leech, Sarah Hall, Phyl Rumpf, Ruby Harris, Maureen Dinsdale, Lorna McIntyre, Doreen Svendsen, Alf Marcombe, Bill Shuttlewood and mouth organist George Cooper all contributed to the afternoon's feast of song and music.

Dances and pass the baton game interspersed the programme and the winners of the monte carlo were Eve Cook and Evie Benson.

Lucky door numbers were held by Alice Benn, Vi Chenana, Jean Neil, Gert Marcombe and Tony Ceff.

Gert Marcombe made it a double when she took out the first of two fruit and vegetable trays given by Dick and Betty Tryer. Second tray, also given by Dick and Betty, was won by Betty Bell from Rockhampton and a third tray went to Stella Lubach.

JUNIOR SWANS Emu snatch victory from jaws of defeat

YEPPOON junior Swans kicked off their season on Sunday with two wins and two losses against Parkhurst at Rockhampton Cricket Ground.

Curtain raiser was the under 11 game, with the majority never playing Aussie rules before, and was probably the biggest spectator pleaser of the day.

Coach Peter Murray was proud of the Coast boys' performance and the basic skills they had learned during six weeks of training.

Final score was Parkhurst 4.3.27, defeating Yeppoon 3.2.20.

Although a loss, Mr Murray said it was a fine performance from a very young Yeppoon side.

Best players: John Lawton, Shawn Dewning and Ben Sheppard.

The Coast under 13s fielded a full side, but benched four players to match an undermanned Parkhurst side.

The skills learned by the Yeppoon players showed in the game and the side was no match for the younger Parkhurst team. Credit must go to Parkhurst, the side didn't give in until the final whistle.

Yeppoon 15.7.97 defeated Parkhurst 0.2.2.

Best: Doug Edwards, David Lawton and Peter Dean. Coach Dale Wetzler said he was pleased with all the boys' performances and it was hard to pick the best.

The under 15 side was a doubtful starter and coach Rick Williams was pleased to see eight players front on the day and a scratch team made up of another nine under 13s.

Parkhurst's field was a much larger and stronger team and although Yeppoon, 4.4.28, went down to Parkhurst, 16.15.111, the side put up a courageous battle to the end. Unfortunately the Parkhurst side was too much for the smaller Coast under 13s.

Mr Williams said the older boys played extremely hard to carry the younger ones and the younger members never gave an inch, even after playing a game earlier.

Best players: Shaun Dungey (u/15), Shane Campbell (u/13) and Matthew William (u/ 15). Highly commended: Dallas McMullen and Dale Perron.

Parkhurst was unable to field an under 17 side and a scratch game was played between Yeppoon and Brothers.

"If this is any indication of things to come for the under 17 1989 season, it's going to be a tough and hard fought year," junior rules publicity officer Shane Steele said.

"Both teams put their all in and never wavered until the fmal whistle."

Yeppoon's older, more experienced side was too much for Brothers with a final score for Yeppoon 16.13.109 defeating Brothers 4.731.

"Coaches Lance Lawler and Brian Munns said the boys still have to do some fine tuning and must not rest on their laurels because of the win.

"The other sides are as yet unknown in their performance and things could hot up for the season."

The games this weekend are on Sunday at Yeppoon Showground against Parkana.

By Jeff Quigley THE mighty Emu Park Emus staged a brilliant comeback to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat when they stormed home to defeat 1988 Rockhampton Rugby League premiers Brothers to the tune of 18 points to 14.

Forget Fenech, forget Gardner ... the Emus' victory was the greatest sporting event last weekend.

Park took the field minus three of their top forwards - Emmert, captain Trimms and Kent Svendsen - who were ruled out through injuries.

Big, bad Kel West was a popular appointment as team captain prior to the game.

From the onset it was obvious the game was going to be Emu Park's hardest to date. Both packs of forwards absolutely tore into each other with no quarter asked and no quarter given.

Emu Park narrowly failed to open the scoring when the 'red flash' Ginger Slotosch barged over under the posts, only to lose the ball as he tried to ground it.

The Brethren then clicked into top gear and began to outclass the Emus in all facets of the game. They adopted the kicking game and forced the Park to play deep in their own half.

With muddy conditions the Park soon started to make too many handling errors and surrender possession to the eager opposition.

Fifteen minutes into the game the deadlock was finally broken when the Brothers bullocking centre was able to step and stand up three Park defenders and then outpace fullback Briggs to score out wide. The conversion was unsuccessful.

Simon Guest, the Park hooker, was replaced

by Hacksaw Duffy, after he suffered a rib injury.

The defence finally cracked again when the Emus suffered the old let the dummy run over and score a soft try' trick. It's getting a little bit too repetitious and is causing some concern to the coaching staff.

There was a deathly silence when Brothers cantered in for their third try and many of the Park's loyal supporters were thinking theywere about to witness the Emus first defeat.

Luckily the conversion kick was flagged away and the Park had to make up only 14 points.

The Emus just failed to cross the line immediately before halftime when the final pass to wingman Geoff Nichols went astray. Nichols had nothing but daylight to beat.

The 10 minute break seemed to do the trick when the Park came out full of fight and it appeared a case of all systems go, until 10 minutes into the half when coconut Bob Dunlop suffered what appeared to be a serious head injury.

The game was held up for about five minutes while he was attended to. Coconut was taken to Rockhampton Hospital for treatment. I think Bob owes the ambulance driver not only his thanks but a six-pack as the poor soul missed out on what was about to unfold.

Spurred on by the big band of supporters and captain West the team lifted itself out of the doldrums and put it on for Coconut.

From a set move Scott Warcon was able to ghost through a yawning gap and score a sweet try right under the black dot. With a chip that would have done Greg Norman proud, Kirk Doak steered the pill over the crossbar to reduce Brothers lead to 14 points to six.

The Park forwards Slotosch, Omara, West, Reid, Duffy and Svendsen created havoc as they took it upon. themselves to gain valuable yardage through the mud and slush.

With brilliant backing up they continually had the experienced Brothers pack backpeddling.

Big Onnie Reid, the last of the straightbacks, brought the house down when he took three defenders with him and lunged over to ground the ball one-handed.

Kirk Doak steered the ball over the bar and the linesmen had no hesitation in raising their flags in acknowledgement.

With only two points separating the sides and time running out, it was on for young and old.

With less than eight minutes remaining the crowd could sense that something big was about to happen and happen it did.

The Brothers outfit was pressing the Park line in an effort to wrap up the game, when they threw a poor pass which went to ground.

The ref was about to pull up the game when fullback Briggs put his toe to the ball and kicked downfield. He scooped_up the slippery ball near his own quarter line and took off

down the field ... hotly pursued by four of the fastest backs Brothers could muster.

It would have been one of the longest 75 metre runs 'in football memory, with Briggs being cheered on by a delirious crowd of Park supporters, who were whipping him to the post and four mean, lean, fighting machines intent on saving the game.

The first player to give up the chase was Scott Warcon who tried to back up Briggs. Much to the delight of the Emus, Briggs scored under the magic black dot and with Doak's cool conversion, the Emus had hit the front 18 points to 14 ... with less than five minutes remaining.

The only one on the ground who remained cool calm and collected during the try was coach Anderson who reckoned he just turned his back on the whole episode, faced skyward and became instantly religious.

As the last seconds ticked over Brothers put up a perfectly positioned high bomb which came down perilously close to the post.

Shawn leapt high above the pack to secure possession. The Emus controlled the ball until the final hooter sounded and scenes which have never been heard of before in Rockhampton Reserve grade historywere witnessed when the entire crowd invaded the pitch to congratulate the Mighty Emus on a great gutsy win.

Don't forget the Mighty Emus next game is on Wednesday, April 19 at Browne Park. The supporters bus leaves at 6.30pm.

The Colts team took advantage of the Capcoast disorganised backline to cross with two tries in the first half.

The appearance of Evan Brown late in the first half lifted the spirit of the team, his rugged defence and back busting runs provided an inspiration for a second half revival.

The Coast forwards lifted their work rate and

provide some quality ball for the back line.

Peter Gehle won valuable territory through his astute kicking.

YEPPOON SWANS KEEP WIN RECORD INTACT ■ By Jay Blake.

YEPPOON Swans kept its winning record intact last week with a five goal win over Brothers although the players' performance was far from what Yeppoon Australian rules coach Steve Burns.

The Coast accuracy in front of goal left a lot to be desired as did the commitment early in the game.

Burns must have thought at stages during the match the side was suffering from chronic laryngitis, something he won't be have this Tuesday and Thursday nights.

The ground was heavy but did not prevent the standard of play being reasonably high.

The first half belonged to Aaron Thompson who delighted the crowd with a magnificent display of marking and run-on wing play. His wing partner, Tonka Tompkins, overcame a slow start to put his stamp on the game.

Greg 'Dad' Williams was responsible for keeping the side on the tracks when commitment waned ... throwing himself fearlessly into packs and urging on his teammates.

Nick Basham was the closest thing the Swans had to a four-quarter performer whose heavy work many times went unnoticed.

Rod Chapman notched six goals at full forwardwhich could easily have been more had he been given more room to move.

Jason Jamieson broke Brothers dominance in the ruck to finish the game, sharing honours with his more experienced opponent and Yabbie Bibby again was the main target as the 1

In the reserve game Coast missed the kick but bounced back in the second half to completely shut Brothers out of the game.

A beaming Cack Wozniak attributed the success to a complete team effort and gave special mention to Mark Van Gestell and Adam Belot.

Offered a second chance, Paul Minton grasped it with both hands, posting four majors in a good display.

Marty Cavanagh gave notice to the selectors that he wants a place in A grade with 'a fine game.

Overseas import Hack Harris steadied the backline utilising his experience and Sean Chamberlain showed glimpses of talent after half time.

This week the Swans play at home to Gladstone with the first bounce at 12.30pm.

Sponsor aids Coast basketball players to front up to selectors GRACE Removals has gone to the aid of Capricorn Coast basketball boys who hope to compete at the Queensland under 14 State titles in Mackay on June 17.

Rockhampton manager Paul Harris has offered to sponsor the youngsters who are seeking to catch the eye of Queensland Basketball selectors in a forerunner to selection to the under 16 Queensland representative team.

"The skills and experience these boys will gain will be an asset to individuals and the community while flying the Capricorn Coast flag before people from all over the State," Capricorn Coast Basketball Association publicity officer Don Willoughby said.

"The financial burden on parents can be prohibitive for some and this sponsorship will ease some of this pressure.

"Grace Removals are providing all travel, accommodation, playing uniforms and the highly coveted warm up tops a symbol to all players' achievements.

"The cost of taking 10 players, coach manager and bench persons to Mackay for five days and nights is considerable. Players will also compete for a number of incentive prizes also offered by Grace."

Mr Willoughby said players need not attend without proper uniforms and number now games are well into the season.

"Without proper uniforms and number, they won't be permitted to play," he said.

"Referees are the unsung champions of the sport and are required to make split second decisions. They should not be required to also struggle to distinguish players and teams.

"Most teams, particularly juniors, have taken a great deal of trouble with uniforms but there arc always a few stragglers."

The management committee has taken the responsibility from the referees and prohibited any non-uniformed or improperly numbered player from competing. , "Would Hornets and Wolfpac please note a replay of game two on Wednesday 19 at 6pm."

ANYONE who has had anything to do with computers and computer accounting programs will realise that getting the right program to do just what you want is not an easy task ... Suzy has spent two years looking for something that will handle the Capricorn Coast Mirror's accounts. Anyhow, during those two years, Suzy has looked at heaps of programs. Some have had bells, some have had whistles and the more expensive ones have had both bells and whistles. So, earlier this month, after wasting Easter looking at another bell and whistle program for S1000, she gave up. It was obvious no program existed that could handle what she wanted ... then she found an advertisement for a "manual accounting program for just $165".

The blurb said everything she wanted to read. She rang the bloke who advertised it.

He lives in Western Australia and wrote the program himself because he'd wasted years looking for one that would handle his business. To top off what sounded already perfect, the bloke said he had sold so many he had dropped the price to $149. What the hell, at that price it was worth looking at. Suzy spent more than that on phone calls and in time wasted on the other 51000 programs.

Off went the cheque and then there was an air traffic controllers strike and somethingor-other else ... and it arrived on Monday.

Suzy excitedly opened the package. Here, in her hot little hands, was the package of her dreams ... freedom! Inside was a floppy disk and a beautifully-presented book of instructions ... and a handwritten invoice!!! Surely, just once, someone who sells a computer-related product could use a computer for their billing!!!

• • • BY the way, the program stills seems to do everything it should so customers will soon be able to blame the computer for their mistakes ... then we can all be happy!

• • • FISH 'N CHIP chap Ross Dickson asked "Old Baldy" for a cigarette (saves using the ones in the shop that cost money) then asked for a lighter. "OB," while fumbling for a lighter, asks Ross would he like him to suck on the end of it to save him the trouble.

Anyway, "OB" can't find a lighter so Ross shows him how to solve the problem ... he opens the cigarette packet, pulls out a cigarette, throws it over his shoulder ... and hands back the packet to "OB". Puzzled, "OB" asks what all that was for and (wait for it) Ross told him he was now one "cigarette lighter"!!!

• • • IF that item lost something in the telling go and see Ross ... he'll gladly relieve you of one cigarette to tell you the story!

• • • LAWRIE DALEY has resigned from Livingstone Shire Council after a year looking after division one. He missed the January meeting and was given leave of absence for three months at the February meeting. He wasn't due to return until May but his resignation was read to the April meeting shortly after it started on Tuesday. Shire clerk Jim Brown read the one-sentence resignation ... and no-one commented. Not a soul made any remark such as "he will be missed" or "sorry about that" ... nothing. Could it have had anything to do with the fact that the reading of his resignation preceded dealing with Cr Glenda Mather's notice of motion calling on council to appoint the next in line from the last elections should any vacancy arise? That "debate" turned into a bunfight which is reported elsewhere in this issue. But surely Lawrie Daley's resignation was worth a mention. He did top the poll in division one so he had a lot of supporters. Maybe the council will rectify the matter at the special meeting to appoint his replacement ... perhaps a councillor will put in a notice of motion to that effect!!! um • SOME people just can't relax ... they're always looking for business opportunities.

One such man is Paul Jaques of Angliss Yeppoon who joined the rest of the Savemore Traders on Tuesday for a golf day at the Capricorn Iwasaki Resort. Paul saw his business opportunity when he watched Graham Kunkul of The Tuckerbox drive a dozen new balls into the dam at the 13th, scoring 29 for the hole. Immediately they finished the round, Paul applied for dredging rights to the dam!!!

• • • BY the way, Paul reckons Graham is a hell of a golfer ... "even after the 29 on the 13th Graham manged to walk into the clubhouse with a card showing only 91. Of course, he still had to add on the first nine!!!"
