Starting at 7am Friday on the 575m2 building which had the slab completed, landscaping, brick support pillars and the wooden frame in place, the hordes of tradesmen, backed by volunteers, completed the Kingdom Hall by lunch-time Sunday.

It was a demonstration of faith involving a total of 590 men, women and youths who flew, drove and bussed to the Inverness Park building site from late Thursday.

The Yeppoon Congregation's Kingdom Hall was completed in hours but there was a year of planning and contributions behind the weekend's activity.

The hall was the 114th built in Australia under the "Quickly-Built" method. Jehovah's Witnesses

have been using the "Quickly-Built" method throughout the world for some years and the weekend's events were no real surprise to many congregation members ... but for others, and outsiders, it was an unbelievable sight.

Put together 97 carpenters, 21 electricians, 36 bricklayers, 28 ceiling fixers, 17 plasterers, 45 painters, 25 plumbers, 13 sound engineers, four tilers and two welders and, without organisation, it's a recipe for disaster.

Add 16 cleaners, eight safety and security people, 7 on scaffolding, two in the storeroom and 240 labourers and the organisation moves into a sphere beyond normal comprehension.

Yet it worked. The 590 had to be fed, showered and accommodated ... and they were.

The building site was a mass of people ... yet no-one was in anyone else's way because everyone had a job to do and knew what it was.

The carpet-layers were a good example. They were told their skills would be needed at mid-

night. They arrived from Brisbane, by bus, late Saturday afternoon and found the job progressing even faster than planned.

They started laying carpet about 10pm, two hours ahead of schedule, and finished at 6am.

They packed their tools, woke their bus driver, and headed back to Brisbane. The whole job went like that. People arrived, did their jobs, had a meal, then left.

There were facilities for injuries ... and a girl cut her finger instead of a pumpkin and a brickie sliced a finger while attempting to halve a brick.

The congregation (about 100) was on site throughout the weekend but there were no hassles that required extra services congregation members were prepared to offer.

Yeppoon's Mitre 10 was involved in the project and was "open" when needed. Runners made regular, and irregular trips to the hardware store picking up the odds and ends that suddenly because necessary ... the few screws short to com-

plete one job, things like that.

Yeppoon building co-ordinator John Kinny had done his job well. He handed over to the South Queensland Regional Building Committee (four men) and they did the rest.

Construction of the huge, Y-shaped hall went so smoothly there wasn't even a rush. By Saturday night the job was so far ahead, with the roof in place, that rain didn't create any problems.

Sunday's constant rain only made conditions unpleasant. Cleaners picked up around the site and the hall was cleaned thoroughly inside.

There were some funny sights on Sunday such as people washing windows watched by others carrying umbrellas against the rain.

There were workers catching up on muchneeded sleep inside the hall on Sunday while others vacuumed around them.

But nothing was unusual. When a hall that would normally cost at least $300,000 can be erected in a weekend, nothing's unusual.

CAPRICORN Coast residents have the chance to create their own shopping centre. Frank Beckins ale, the man behind Yeppoon's latest shopping complex, has called on everyone interested to specify what they want.

Elders Real Estate Yeppoon principal Bob Melaney, who is acting as the consultant to Mr Beckinsale, said this week the idea was to have input from the people who would make or break the complex ... the shoppers.

"We want everyone interested to tell us what they want," he said. "We want everyone involved. Children can tell us they want a place to park bicycles, teenagers can tell us they want a coffee lounge, young marrieds can tell us they want a furniture store, a changing room for babies.

"We want people of all ages to say what they want in their shopping complex."

Mr Melaney said the guidance offered by Coast residents would be incorporated into the final design where-ever possible.

"Older people might help us on matters such as ramps instead of steps; hand-rails, non-slip floor surfaces, lighting, the types of shops they want and the hours they want them open," he said.

"This is everyone's chance. We know, already, that there is tremendous support for the new complex. But we want to know what people expect of the major tenant.

"The right support now can make this complex something, to be proud of."

Mr Melaney said Mr Beckinsale was not planning to create a duplicate of shops available in James and Normanby Streets and Savemore.

He was calling for input to show prospective tenants that a need, and a want, exists for their particular operation.

Mr Beckinsale, aware that Livingstone Shire Council last week gave unanimous approval to the shopping complex, arrives from Melbourne either late this week or early next week to move ahead with the project.

Council's approval last week was subject to 29 conditions. Among them were: • Four angled car parking bays should be provided for the handicapped.

• A bicycle rack should be provided near the proposed mini-golf course.

• A detailed landscape plan to be provided before lodging a building application.

• The western boundary to have a 1.8m.-high wooden fence, in addition to landscaping.

• The proposed mini-golf course to be suitably fenced to restrict access and prevent children crossing the driveways at other than the two entries.

• No music to be to be amplified and directed across the course. If music is to be provided the preferred method is a number of low-volume speakers at the tees and greens.

• Air-conditioning and garbage area to be adequately enclosed to minimise a noise nuisance to adjoining residences.

• Lighting should be directed so as not to create a glare hazard to traffic on Rockhampton Road, Tanby Road or Park Street.

• No processed foodstuffs to be sold from a market staff without the prior approval of the council (which will require compliance with health regulations before such approval could be granted).

• A contribution of $14,000 is to be made toward traffic improvements in the area (the proposed roundabout at the intersection of Tanby Road, Rockhampton Road and Park Street).

• Turning and passing lanes to be constructed for the Rockhampton Road entrance and left turning lanes for the Park Street entrance.

Mr Melaney said Mr Beckinsale was aware of the conditions and had placed an advertisement in this week's Capricorn Coast Mirror to thank council for its help with the project.

"He arrives within days, with a town planner, and the shopping complex will move into the final design phase,"-Mr Melaney said.

"That's why we want letters from everyone.

The more ideas that can be incorporated, the better it will be for the future."

Mr Melaney said he was also hoping to receive letters from Coast business people and groups such as the Capricorn Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Capricorn Coast Tourist Organisation.

"We want everyone's input. There are no restrictions," he said.

MLA: silly nonsense about harbour project "ROSSLYN Bay Harbour is a State & . ment project. Rock from a State Govc.-.1., .t quarry is being carted over a State Go. .:rnment road to build a State Governmer• owned harbour for the people of the Cap;,,, rn Coast," Member for Broadsound Denis Hinton said this week.

"Too much silly nonsense has been peddled about this project in recent times by outsiders unfamiliar with said., it," he "The origin of the project was a meeting of about 70 harbour usgrs in September 1986, at Rosslyn Bay, attended by then Harbours and Marine Minister Martin Tenni and myself, when I promised the harbour users (hardly a privileged few!) that construction of a safe harbour would be started within three years.

"That promise has been honoured and the $4.6 million provided by the State Government is the major funding towards the cost of the harbour wall, and dredging, to provide that excellent facility for all harbour users," he said.

"The Government's contract with keppel gateway Ltd to do the construction is incidental to the major Government objective of constructing the harbour.

"Without Keppel Gateway providing a marina, the project was not economical and Keppel Gateway's project had no chance without the Government's commitment to building a harbour.

"It is therefore absurd for ill-informed people to suggest that Keppel Gateway or their contractors, Leighton Constructions, should fund the rebuilding of the main road," Mr Hinton said.

"Leightons have already contributed $32,000 and will not be asked for more. The State Government fully accepts its responsibilities in this regard.

"The Government will own the newly-cons ructed Rosslyn Bay Harbour."

Coast's Life Education Centre moves closer

YEPPOON Charity Market voted on Saturday to donate $5000 to the Life Education Coast sub-committee and issued a challenge to Yeppoon Lions and Rotary clubs to each match the 55000 donation dollar-for-dollar.

The market has donated about $150,000 in 10 years to Coast charities. The only money spent by the committee has been $8000 to buy a pavilion at the showground to make sure stallholders and customers would have all-weather comfort on Saturday mornings.

"We have found the cover has increased our takings by S100 weekly in comparison to the same time last year," market treasurer Bruce Barnett said.

"Our other project this year, the SES welfare trailer, worth about S4000, should be ready to be handed over to the SES next week.

"We raise between S17,000 and $20,000 annually and that's because of the generosity of patrons and work by stallholders to ensure a variety of produce and goods are for sale.

"The RSL has supplied all the labour for our projects and we thank them ... they have allowed us to have more to give to charity."

CAPRICORN Coast and hinterland children will benefit from intensive fundraising for a Life Education mobile unit.

A Coast sub-committee is working with Rockhampton and Gladstone to have a Life Education Centre travelling between the three areas.

A mobile unit, travelling the coast from the Gold Coast to Cairns, was at Yeppoon Flea Market on Saturday morning for a short time.

The time was short because the van had to be in places north on specified dates.

"We would have liked to have had it for a longer time so more people could see what a Life Education mobile unit presented," Capricorn Coast sub-committee co-ordinator Dave Larkin said.

"During its three hour stay we managed to have representatives from Coast schools (big and small), organisations and clubs spend some time looking at the presentation."

Organisations and clubs were included because of their ability to fundraise.

"You can't ask someone to fundraise or donate if they haven't seen what their money is going to buy."

The qualified teacher presented an-all-age show for an audience ranging from five-yearolds to grandparents "Each age group has its own presentation, but because of the age range the teacher had prepared a sample of what children see in their age section," Mr Larkin said.

The mobile unit is fitted with space-age technology. In one section, the van's roof lit up like the 'milky way' to simulate space travel.

Life Education means what it says ... education about life. Children visit the van twice a year from year one to year seven. They are shown what happens inside their bodies to peer pressure and learning to make decisions about their bodies.

It isn't pushed into them all at once ... it's a gradual over-the-years process, just like growing up.

"Each age group can understand a certain amount and that's how the programme works," he said.

The hi-tech van has computerised models that light up parts of the body ... brain, kidneys, bladder, heart and show where and how blood reaches each part.

Hand puppets are used in conjunction with a video. A screen above the monitor has body images that also work with the hand puppets and video.

The programme explains that your body is special and it shouldn't be abused by eating the wrong food, using drugs incorrectly. It shows the children how to keep their body in good order by eating the foods it needs and keeping it in good condition with exercise.

If you would like to help with fundraising, contact Dave and Ann Larkin, 39 7556 or Fay Owens, 39 6344.

Functions have been organised on a monthly basis until the end of the year.

On Saturday, Yeppoon Flea Market stallholders gave Scope enough produce to have a raffle with the 5260 raised going to the Life Education committee.

Scope and Life Education organisers thank the stall-holders and ticket buyers for their generosity.

Giggle and Gossip on Monday at Capricorn International Resort is also fundraising for Life Education.

Jim Pearce ALP candidate for Broadsound The ONLY change for the Better WHETHER the next State election is held this year or after an extended six months, I believe the National Party Government cannot last. I optimistically look forward to a better future for us all under a Labor Government in Queensland. Whatever your personal politics, I am sure you would agree it is time for a change, a real change for the better.

Wherever I go, I am well received by people who have decided Labor now finally deserves its chance to govern our State. So many are now fearfully aware the only alternative to a Goss Government is a return to a National Party led and dominated coalition.

In my capacity as candidate, and future member, I wish to serve. If I can help, in any way, please contact me, 33 6649 or 58 1694.

Blue Nursing Respite Day Care Centre opening early next year THE Capricorn Coast Blue Nursing Respite Day Care Centre at 30 Rockhampton Road, Yeppoon, is expected to be ready early in 1990.

Livingstone Shire Council gave approval for the land to be rezoned at the July meeting.

"We expect tenders to be called within the next three months," Capricorn Coast Blue Nursing Service chairman Rev Nyree Svenson said.

The respite care centre received almost $320,000 from the Federal Government's Home and Community Care programme (HACC): a capital grant of $226,000 made up of $156,000 for construction costs; $25,000 associated furnishings and $45,000 for a converted bus; and an increased operating grant of $92,846.

Rev Svenson said the Blue Nursing Centre, presently sited in Normanby Street, will be relocated upstairs at the new site.

"That means everything for the care of the Coast's frail and aged people will be under one roof," she said.

Any frail, aged people who have been cared

for at home or on their own and are receiving meals-on-wheels or other community services are eligible.

The only charges expected are for morning and afternoon tea and lunch.

"We anticipate being able to care for 12 patients at a time.

A nursing sister co-ordinator with two assistants and voluntary helpers will offer the day visitors physiotherapy and music therapy.

"As part of the patients' therapy they will be able to prepare morning and afternoon tea."

The extensions to the present building offers outside lawned areas, an open area to sit and relax, a quiet room, lounges, activities areas, eating area, therapy room, kitchen and separate toilets and showers.

The building will accommodate wheelchairs and walking frames.

Patients will be collected and taken home in a converted bus that is able to take wheelchairs.

"The present pool will eventually be changed to a hydrotherapy pool, but that's in the future," Rev Svenson said.

"We will need volunteers io help and Yeppoon Red Cross members have already offered to assist. More helpers may be needed."

Rev Svenson said the centre would need donations of books, magazines, knee rugs, crockery, cutlery and cushions. There is enough space in the upstairs section of the present building to store things until the building is completed.

Volunteers and people with donations of goods can ring the centre, 39 1371. Helpers nameswill be put on a list to be contacted when the centre is ready.

"It is a wonderful grant from the government and without it we wouldn't have a respite care centre, but unfortunately with the way prices keep going up we are going to have a shortfall," she said.

"The grant was based on costs at the beginning of the year and of course now things are dearer.

"For example the grant gave us S45,000 for the bus and it will now cost $47,500 ... that's a shortfall of $2,500. That's what has happened with everything else.

"It means we will have to keep fundraising ... but at least the majority of costs have been covered by the grant."

Co-operation adds exciting dimension to tourism

ALL TAKEAWAYS Open from 7.30am

CAPRICORN Tourism and Development Organisation manager Barry Lee said a recent demonstration of co-operation will add a new and exciting dimension to tourism in the Capricorn region.

"At a meeting hosted by Yeppoon Backpackers proprietor Tony Millroy this week, foundations were laid for the start of an 'Adventure Holiday' programme to be marketed to visitors. In fact the word adventure is probably a bit tame," Mr Lee said.

"A single brochure will be produced for distribution to point-of-sale outlets throughout Australia and overseas and will include new holidays ranging from Barrier Reef and diving expeditions to horse riding, mountain treking, river excursions and off road adventures.

"Other key players involved in this inaugural meeting were Pack Treks Shane Joyce, Club Northwest Island operator Terry Jackson, four wheel drive off-road tour operator Greg Carter, Cool Winds property owners Clarrie and Pat Bailey, bush trekkers Rob Dalgleish and Graham Plahn and Yeppoon entrepreneur Bill Attwood," he said.

"All have considerable expertise in their field and are already operating or planning completely different and specialised tours.

"We expect the initial response to be from the smaller groups of 18 to 30-year-old backpackers already visiting our region in increasing numbers, with money to spend and looking for adventure and fun.

"We have the beginnings but, before producing the brochure, are anxious to include all possible adventure activities and would like to hear from any persons or organisations who may be able to contribute.

"Possibilities we are seeking may involve abseiling, caving, kayaking, fossicking, canoeing, wildlife photography, cycling, bird-watching or deep-sea fishing to name a few, in fact, anything that will appeal to an adventurous spirit.

"Visitors will be able to pre-book or buy locally, a selection of holiday modules depending on the amount of time they have available.

TEAM TO 'GREEN' MARINA LANDSCAPE architects and planners throughout Australia have submitted proposals for the `greening' of Keppel Gateway Marina Resort.

"Impressive submissions have been made to us and we are assembling a project team to finalise concept planning for the Rosslyn Bay development," Keppel Gateway project manager John Davies said.

"Leading Queensland landscape architect Lawrie Smith has inspected the site and outlined its enormous potential in his submissions.

"Mr Smith and his Brisbane company, Landplan Studio, have been seen in Central Queensland at the 55 hectare Gladstone Tondoon Botanic Gardens, Gladstone Marina, Rockhampton Special School and Yeppoon Court House," he said.

"Landplan also designed the landscape and garden strategy for the World Expo site, a job which included establishing diverse plants from throughout the world in precincts representative of participating nations.

"A network of unique Australian species also extended throughout the site marking the bicentenary."

Mr Davies said Landplan and other interested parties had outlined the site's potential to develop in harmonywith nature, while creating a more pleasant environment.

Keppel Gateway has also commissioned a report from Neil Hoy from 'Greening Australia' which details these considerations.

"Landscaping Keppel Gateway is going to be an enormous job and we will require various local nurseries to grow set species for the project," Mr Davies said.

"The site will need a joint effort from a number of local plant producers, so there are opportunities for everyone.

"The existing vegetation is a wide range of plants which have evolved to suit the exposed coastal environment and would therefore be suitable in most areas," he said.

"Investigation and collection of suitable local species has already begun," Rockhampton's Fishers Nurseries managef Neil Fisher said.

attractions and activities the region has to offer but are difficult to market singularly.

"It is also anticipated the tours will be popular with local residents and lay to rest the oft heard misguided statement, 'There's nothing to do around here!'.

"Each operator will benefit from the others' participation and anyone able to contribute to the programme is asked to contact Tony Millroy, 39 2122 or Barry Lee, 27 2055."

THE Rare Fruits Council Capricorn branch meeting on Saturday, July 29 is a model tropical fruit orchard on display.

The venue is Barry and Heather Nicholls' Byfield property where they specialise in lychees, longans, mandarines and mangoes.

They also have a wide range of the newer tropical fruits in their house orchard.

The farm has a park-like appearance with the orchard planted between dense stands of rainforest. Large numbers of guinea fowl run in the orchard, helping to keep insect pests under control.

Barry is an innovative farmer, using the latest equipment and adapts the latest farming techniques to produce top quality fruit.

The property is only 10 hectares and demonstrates that a small property, when run well, can be an economically viable proposition.

The meeting starts at 2pm with a farm walk at 4pm followed by a bring-your-own barbecue.

The usual tree auction and fruit tasting will be held and Barry is guest speaker.

The property is at the northern end of Byfield at the foot of the ranges. Rare Fruit Council signs will show the way.

It is a rare opportunity to visit one of the Capricorn Coast's most progressive farms.

Many rare fruit trees are suitable for the home garden and new numbers are welcome.

plants because of sea-side exposure and seabed reclamation conditions, national parks are allowing us access to species not normally included in seed collection," Mr Fisher said.

Mr Davies said Keppel Gateway required a landscape architect in its design team to assist with planning and integration of the project.

"After the site has been fully analysed and a conceptual design confirmed, the process of selecting particular species and their quality and size will accelerate.

"Keppel Gateway will have a backdrop of Australian flora, growing in harmony with the nearby national park vegetation," he said.

Moderate van fees thing of the past?

MODERATE rate charges could be a thing of the past if moves to sell off caravan parks in the Livingstone Shire are successful according to division one councillor Lloyd Webber.

Cr Webber this week said ratepayers could soon be asked to make up a shortfall in lost revenue resulting from the sale of the caravan parks.

"In the last five years, Bell Park Caravan Park at Emu Park returned in excess of $86,000 in nett profits, but despite this, there are councillors who are determined to flog it off to the highest bidder," he said.

"The move appears to be based more on the appeasement of private park operators than on sound economic strategy and will be to the everlasting detriment of the Shire's ratepayers.

"Bell Park Caravan Park offers enormous potential and is in a unique position to produce far greater revenue provided council returns some of the profits back into improvements."

Warning on `phone blowers' A WARNING to Capricorn Coast tourist 7nterprises and small business proprietors to oe aware of magazine advertising rip-offs has been issued by ALP Broadsound candidate Jim Pearce.

"Southern magazine publishers have been `phone blowing' Coast businesses, pressing them to advertise in what are alleged to be nation-wide magazines," Mr Pearce said.

"I have discussed the matter with Federal Member for Capricornia Keith Wright, who has taken it urgently to the Trade Practices Commission.

"My advice to anyone who has been approached ... don't advertise and more importantly, don't pay, even though you receive a bill."

He said the Trade Practices Commission and the Federal Bureau of Consumers Affairs were so concerned about the rip-offs occurring they had issued a special sticker, 'Don't be bitten by a Blower'.

"It was common practice for advertising

representatives working for some southern magazines to ring a business ostensibly to check that wording of an advertisement was correct," Mr Pearce said.

"In quite a number of cases no advertisement had been previously approved and wording had been taken from the Yellow Pages or some other publication.

He said unaware staff members, thinking the boss must have ordered the advertisement, often agreed the wording was correct and within days the bill had arrived.

Mr Pearce said there was a need for tough laws at a State level to put an end to the activities of alleged bogus magazine advertising.

Mr Wright endorsed Mr Pearce's statements and urged any business proprietor who had been approached by any magazine firm to contact him.

"A preliminary check has shown that some of these magazines have limited circulation, are of poor quality and are a straight out rip-off," Mr Wright said.

At least while council controls the park the profit stays in use for this community.

This idyllic setting will be beyond the reach of the family man.

I beg council to reconsider any decision to privatise Bell Park Caravan Park for the sake of children and families who wish to holiday at an affordable price.

Wake up...or lose Bell Park WAKE up Emu Park, or you could lose your Bell Park Caravan Park to private enterprise.

While we have some councillors willing to care for Mr and Mrs Average get out your pen and paper and declare your support to keep it under council control or you will never have a second chance.

Our early pioneers, namely the Women's Advancement League headed by Mrs Bell, recognised the potential of a park and worked hard to raise money and lobbied Shire councillors to set aside this idyllic setting for campers.

Opened in 1935 with the intention of raising revenue for council expenses, surely in 54 years it has been a successfulventure? Local business must have benefited.

Tourists from all over the world have remarked on the natural beauty of this area. They feel this must be one of the best kept secrets, with its shady trees and safety from traffic.

Our southern visitors have patronised these sites for three months duringwinter every year ... many for the past 13 years.

The fact that a pool will be ready for the summer season should boost the attendance of families to stay at Bell Park.

I SEE in your Coastline Column report of Yeppoon pensioner social you describe me as a mouth organ 'exponent'.

Now, this word is from the Greek: ex = out; ponere = to place. In English it means to expound, demonstrate or explain.

I'm not too sure what you think I am or whether you think I should be out.

The correct word is virtuoso or number one world mouth organist or 'Red Hot Pappy'.

Grimes family news sought I AM looking for information about a family who lived in Rockhampton about 1910 to 1915.

The family: father, Richard Frank Grimes; mother, Marion nee McMillan; eldest son, Henry Roland (Roy) was interested in rowing, swimming, cricket, was in Fitzroy football, worked at Rockhampton Electricity Power House, went to World War I from Rockhampton and landed at Gallipoli in 1915; daughter Nellie (Nell) played piano and organ; daughter Mildred and another son Richard.

They lived at 65 Cambridge Street, Rockhampton and had another establishment in Denham Street R F Grimes was a commercial traveller. He died in April 1929 and could have been in the Rockhampton area from 1890 -1929. The family shifted to Toowong, Brisbane about 1915.

Qld.

Gerrymander not the reason OVER the past several months I have watched with interest the attempts by ALP Broadsound candidate Jim Pearce to discredit the efforts and dedication of our local member Denis Hinton.

I would like to point out to people in the Broadsound electorate that Mr Hinton won the seat under extreme difficulty and not because of some suggested gerrymander, he just won a majority of votes from a range of voters.

I would also like to point out Mr Hinton is a tirelessworker for his electorate and does not differ between religious and political affiliations.

He may sometimes make an error in judgment, but I remind you Mr Pearce that someone who does nothing never makes a mistake, but on balance Denis Hinton is well in front.

You accuse the National Party of all sorts of cronyism but tell me Mr Pearce, will you, if you happen to get into government at some time, follow the lead of the Labor Council of Rockhampton in your dealings.

Rockhampton Mayor Ald Jim Webber and his council have forbidden a Yeppoon man from selling pies because he does not live in the City of Rockhampton. He says they must protect Rockhampton business from this threat from Yeppoon.

Need I remind Rockhampton City Council of the millions of dollars Coast people spend in Rockhampton each year and of the meat, liquor, furniture, electrical goods delivered doorto-door Rockhampton to Yeppoon.

Is it your belief Mr Pearce that anything done by the ALP is okay, but if the same thing is done by the National Party it is evil.

I look forward to your reply.

- G R Abel, 1 Coolsetti Avenue, Yeppoon.

No jackboots on curfew IT is unfortunate that outright condemnation seems to be the order of the day with the State Government proposal of a curfew on young kids.

Wouldn't it be a better idea to have a trial as suggested and with offers of assistance to our local force it could work quite well?

Personally, I would be the last to want kids herded up by the police and the parents sent for to take them home.

On the local scene, with the people we are fortunate to have serving us on the Coast, we would have no jackboots approach to the problem.

It is my impression they are caring people with a hard job done with firmness when required but with an equal amount of compassion.

The move from the Government seems to be to get to the root cause of what seems to be a social problem without continually chasing the results of no action.

There maybe positives in the scheme contrary to the daily media presentation of the negatives and the constant reminders of homeless kids.

Yes, we have our share of homeless kids on the Coast even though the percentage is a meagre one. There are constant reminders of the caring capacity of the community towards the aged and infirm. Equally there could be a source of that goodwill towards our young people.

Only thisweek at my workplace, St Brendan's College, there has been another great example of young people and the elderly interacting.

This week has been a sharing by Year 11 students with elderly folk in Rockhampton and Yeppoon. The boys have mowed lawns, worked at meals-on-wheels, St Vincent de Paul shops and visited aged homes and care centres.

A great week for the youth and aged.

A week ago we had the Queensland Youth Orchestra at the high school. Our youth are great and we should look after them.

LSC seeks low-cost housing LIVINGSTONE Shire Council decided at the July meeting to send an application to the Queensland Housing Commission for low cost housing at Emu Park.

The application for two three bedroom dwellings and a block of four pensioner units is under the Local Government and Community Housing Programme on a design and construct basis.

Under a joint Commonwealth/State Housing Agreement about $2.6 million will be made available to the Queensland Commission during 1989/90 for the Local Government and Community Housing Programme.

The aim of the programme is to involve local authorities and/or community organisations in the provision of long-term rental accommodation and to attract local government and nongovernment funds and other resources to increase the amount of housing available to low income earners.

Financial assistance is through grants for the purchase, construction or lease of dwellings that may be owned by a local authority, com-

munity organisation or the commission.

The commission must not be involved in the control and operation of the project ... it is in the hands of the local authority or community organisation.

Shire clerk Jim Brown said the programme meant council didn't have to fund the low cost housing.

"We inherit the responsibility for maintenance. The rental will look after part of that and the rest goes to new housing," he said.

Volunteers sought Jo tape books VOLUNTEERS with clear, expressive voices are needed to make tapes for the Coast's visually impaired and disabled.

Livingstone Shire Council librarian Debbie Burn said there was a need for more talking books for Coast residents to borrow.

Talking books are recorded on two-track cassettes in sets of up to nine cassettes of fiction and non-fiction.

Hear-a-Book is a Hobart-based Australiawide organisation that markets talking books.

It looks after copyright, taping and distribution.

The organisation charges about S60 a set for talking books, but if volunteers with clear, expressive voices pass a simple audition, the library receives a free talking book.

Volunteers read a specified passage onto a cassette which is then sent to Hear-a-Book. If the audition is acceptable the volunteer then reads whatever book is chosen.

The Queensland State Library provides 50 talking books for hire every three months, but it isn't sufficient for the shire's needs.

If anyone is interested in auditioning, contact Debbie Burn at the library, 39 3684. You may not think your voice suitable, but taped voices sound different, so give it a go.

CATHOLICS ADOPT RENEW IDEA Subscriptions now RENEW is a three year programme adopted by the Capricorn Coast Catholic Parish as part of an Australia-wide event to assist parishes in spiritual renewal.

The programme is divided into five segments or seasons of six weeks each, spread over three years.

To prepare for the first season starting on July 30, the Capricorn Coast Parish has organised 24 hours of prayer or in old terminology, a retreat.

It starts at 7.30pm on Tuesday, July 25 with a mass at St Brendan's Chapel and continues all night at Sacred Heart Church, a mass at noon on Wednesday, the third rite of reconciliation at 7pm and ends at 7.30pm.

There are no prepared prayers, no sermons, no-one to tell you what to do ... just the church open for people to have a quiet time meditating.

Renew is centred about the gospel ... in particular the gospel read at each Sunday mass. It is about growth in prayer and understanding the God's_ word. .

It is about ongoing conversion calling people to a new and deeper change of heart in an endeavour to build stronger, prayerful, active communities within parishes, a more unified diocese and a better world.

Small groups have been set up in the parish to discuss the week's gospel, so the community moves closer in understanding.

Each week the parish will publish in the Mirror what gospel will be used that week.

People who become interested over the three years, but haven't attended the previous parts of the programme are welcome.

Active Catholics, non-active Catholics and people interested in joining the Renew pro-

gramme are welcome. Contact Father Noel Milner, 39 1312.

The first six week season; starting on July 30, is 'the Lord's call'. It reflects on different aspects of the Lord's call to his people. It is a call to the community.

Lent, 1990 is the second season and deals with the community's response. Participants are challenged to deepen their life's commitment.

The third season is in August/September, 1990 and is headed 'Living Justly'. It considers how people may best use their gifts to build a better world.

Discipleship, the fourth season after Easter, 1991, focuses on the relationship with Jesus as his disciples.

The final season, August/September, 1991, is for looking back over the Renew programme and reflecting on where the participants have been led in faith.

Book Week plans CHILDREN'S Book Week , is celebrated throughout Australia next week ... July 22 to July 28.

Yeppoon Library is holding two night-time storytelling sessions on Friday, July 28, appropriate to the year's book week theme, Dreamtime'.

The first session between 6pm and 6.50pm is for Tulles' who are invited in their pyjamas with Teddy to listen to bedtime stories.

At 7.10pm older kids can hear spooky (but fun) bedtime stories and play a ghoulish game or two.

Bookings are essential. Please phone the library, 39 3684.

Rain bowls over Sunday's bowls RAIN on Sunday wiped out bowling at Emu Park Bowls Club but during the week bowlers enjoyed games on a good green.

Friday morning pairs competition is popular.

Last week 16 pairs took part, many of them husband and wife teams.

"Col and Mildred Rose were the day's champions," publicity officer Marg Price said.

"After the game, bowlers enjoyed a fish luncheon with fish donated and cooked by Ken Sinclair. Everyone voted Ken super chef."

Other trophy winners during the week: Tuesday, Marg Price, Harold Errey and George Cliffe; Wednesday, V Dougherty, Bill Winnin, Audrey Bates and George Wheaton; Saturday, Marge Collins, Phil Cosgrove and Horst Hannes.

The under 8 contest is against Pioneers and scheduled to start at 1 lam, Sunday on St Brendan's College oval.

On Saturday the team played its best game of the season to defeat Colts on their home ground 16 points to 12.

-Terrence Toon played a starring role in attack and defence and seems set to reach top form in the lead up to next month's semi-finals.

He scored two tries, kicked a conversion and made repeated raids on Colt's tryline.

Sam Bongers kicked an early conversion and later scored a try from the scrum base near Colt's line.

Ben Newmann tackled well, Nicholas Craig and Brett Cranny took the ball forward on many occasions and Simon Timbs followed play in the non-stop contest for the ball.

Sunday's game promises to be entertaining and spectators are welcome at St Brendan's.

66 nominations for 4-race meet YEPPOON Amateur Racing Club has received 66 nominations for its four-race programme on Wednesday.

A club official said this was a tfemendous response for what has become the last race meeting of the old season. Wednesday's meeting replaces a meeting washed out in August last year. That meeting, which was to have been the first of the old season, has now become the last of the season.

Acceptances will be declared on 10am Monday. A race club official said the nominations vindicated the committee's decision in response to requests by trainers for a grass track meeting while the Callaghan Park races have been conducted on sand throughout July.

Gates open at 10.30am to cater for southern race meetings.

Instead, the green will be shared by everyone ... not to be confused with mixed bowls. The ladies will have use of half the green and the parent club the other half.

Anyone wishing to brush up on the new IBB rules may do so at the Athelstane Bowls Club on Wednesday, August 16, when a lecture will be given starting at 9.30am.

Junior Swans play in slush MUD, slush and cold driving rain was again on for the only game played last weekend for junior Australian rules players.

Swans under 15 played Wandal Bulls, but again the strong Coast side was too much for the smaller Rocky side.

It was Coast's last under 15 match before going into the preliminary finals on August 6 and the Swans were hoping for stronger competition to boost their skills.

The wet weather did test skills on both sides, but big Andrew White, Dayle Perrin, Shane Campbell, Grant Thorpe and Patrick Swayne were just no match in speed and clever ball handling skills against Wandal.

"Although the boys look strong at this stage," publicity officer Shane Steele said, "they must not rest on their laurels.

"It will obviously be a Yeppoon v Parkhurst final and Parkhurst trounced the Swans in their last encounter."

Final score Yeppoon 27-21-203 to Wandal 00-0. Man-of-the-match was Grant Thorpe who was never out of the play and was all over the wet field. Runners up: Shane Campbell and Dayle Perrin.

This Sunday is the last away game against Brothers at Victoria Park. Players will travel by private vehicle. Those looking for a lift are to be at Yeppoon Showground at 9am. Under 11 and 13 will play.

Idyllic day for golf anniversary ■ By Yeppoon Golf Club Associates

imam ■ ABOVE: Ronald Mackie competed in the indoor cricket finals on Sunday and showed his quick style with the ball. In the background are Shaun Petterwood and Keith Muller.

AN idyllic day ... beautiful weather, old and new friends, fun and golf, celebrated Yeppoon Golf Club associate's 20th birthday last week.

After what we thought would be a wet day for our celebration it turned out to be wonderful in every way.

It was good to see young and old, past and present joining in and trying to hit that elusive golf ball.

Even the kangaroos were out in force ... maybe some of the older ones were saying to themselves "After 20 years, those same women are trying to par the course!"

The greens and fairways were in wonderful condition thanks to greenkeeper Ray Beck and his workers.

Of the 53 associates from 20 years ago, 17 were present at the party.

Inaugural president Connie Noyes and present president Shirley Kruger shared honours for the day. Connie called the first roll and Shirley welcomed everyone.

About 148 players and guests settled in the pink and white decorated clubhouse to enjoy

entertainment and a scrumptious smorgasbord lunch that ruined everyone's diet.

The entertainment was provided by sweetly singing Beryl Dawson and our patroness pianist Leila Goodwin. 'Ada and Elsie' were at their best and the clubhouse echoed with laughter.

Connie had a bit of a problem handling those 'bad schoolgirls', but after 20 years of working with her, we knew she could handle them.

It was wonderful to have so many offer to help. Most of the cooking was done by associates. If the chicken wings appealed to you ... we know were you can order them.

Cassie Freeman made and iced the beautiful birthday cake in pink and white to complement the party's theme. Betty Tyrer's fruit tray was magnificent, aswas the Goose Club ... it looked like fairyland.

There are too many people to thank individually for their wonderful support, but we can't forget John and Flossie Ware who put together our history.

Thanks to sponsors: ANZ, Westpac, National, Commonwealth, Morgans Bakeries, The Rock, Denham Bros and Capricorn International Resort.

Final ends could not affect result Tennis draw TWO games were played in Yeppoon Bowls Club open pairs and in both the last ends were not played because they could not affect the result.

Roy Graff teamed with Mark Gustafson and they defeated Tom O'Sullivan and Norm Richards 27-9. Tom and Norm managed to win only six of the 19 ends played.

The other game was pretty much the same with Norm Myler and Peter Cowie winning seven ends against Reg Gibbins and Terry Woodbridge. Reg and Terry won 20-11 and it was only a four on the last end played that made Norm and Peter's score look respectable.

The graded pairs was a closer result with Don Goody and Tony Ryan going to a 10-2 lead in the early stages. Arnie Petersen and George Hogg, down 18-10, won five of the last six ends to finish down 19-16.

Jack Garner, K Thompson and Barry Atkinson staged the recovery of the weekend, defeating Arthur Atcheson, Bill Fotheringham and Eric Austin 25-24. Austin and company were away to an early lead 17-5 and with six to play were still well in front 20-12. With two ends to play Atkinson needed seven to tie and scored a two and a five. They had to play an extra end to get a result andAtkinson scored a single to win.

George Cavanagh, John Ware and Bill Roberts scored an all-the-way win from Frazer Freeman, Dick Sinclair and Terry Woodbridge, 28-11, without playing the last three ends.

The C singles between Mark Gustafson and Ken Moore was an unusual game. Ken had a lead of 11-8 and then didn't score again, with Mark reaching 25.

In the veterans, one game of triples was played. Bill Roberts won this and played with Tom Dorrell and Dave Copeland. Their opponents were Roy Cain, Max Hutton and Don McPherson. Bill led 12-5 in the middle stages and finished in front 21-14.

The Yeppoon team in the Prestige Fours, Frank Birkett, Peter Brown, Frank O'Brien and Clarrie Hinton, finished square winning two of the four games played.

In the first game Yeppoon played Moura and led them 17-15 after 18 ends. Moura won the

last seven ends, finishing in front 27-17.

In the next round Yeppoon met Biloela and after a hard game finished down 26-22. The next morning Yeppoon drew North Rockhampton first and finished in front by the narrowest of margins ... one.

The final round played was against Rockhampton's Norm Diplock's team and Yeppoon managed to beat them by two.

Sunday morning is trophy triples put on by Jack Condon ... the club's raffle king. Some members may not realise they are to be played so when you read this, phone your nomination to the club house.

This weekend Yeppoon's district fours team goes to do battle in Rocky: Don Goody, Tom Roos, Mark Gustafson and Roy Graff. They won the event last year ... so repeat the dose.

Seagulls take minor semi-final in cold, wet, muddy conditions IN cold, wet, muddy conditions at Browne Park on Sunday Yeppoon Seagulls came back in the second half to run out winners in the rugby league minor semi-final over Emerald Tigers 20-8.

Emerald put first points on the board with a penalty after five minutes. Their big forwards took the ball up the middle and tested Seagulls lightweight forward pack who put in a gutsy effort for the entire game.

Both teams had trouble holding the ball because of the conditions.

Yeppoon went close to scoring the first try of the match when fullback ,Steve Stafford ran through a gap only to be tackled close to the Emerald line. Referee Bert Stabhens ruled a double movement.

Emerald was awarded another penalty in front after the ball failed to go the distance from a dropkick on their own 22 metre line.

Emerald led 4-0 at halftime.

Emerald came out firing and within two minutes Capra prop Charles Curran charged down the short blind side to score in the corner.

Emerald went to a handy lead of 8-0.

Minutes later Seagulls posted first points after second rower Bruce Campbell and hooker Paul Grant, making good ground, saw the ball

swing out wide for winger Steve Portch to touch down in the corner.

Stafford did a Meninga kick from the sideline taking the score to 8-6. From this point Stafford,Wayne Alberts and Paul Grant started to take control.

Next try for Seagulls was after they gained possession on their own line when Stafford again broke the defence.

Grant started the movement with Andrew Schick and Denis Ogden joining in with Alberts in the clear, the cover defence came across, he chipped over their heads. Ten metres out he regathered the ball to touch down for Seagulls putting them in front with 12-8 for the first time.

But Emerald was still in with a chance, still trying to upset Yeppoon's attack but Seagulls were getting plenty of ball from scrums winning the ball against the feed.

Hard working half back Adrian White, who was playing a blinder in defence and attack giving his backs good service, saw Alberts with one of his bumping runs beating defenders and dummying to score. Yeppoon led 16-8.

Emeralds forwards started to use the blind side and gave centre Paul White room to move, only to be stopped by the defence.

Yeppoon's last try was scored. Dennis Ogden received the ball from lead up work by Scott Milligan, Daryl Gough, Grant, and Alberts who ran across the field to make the final score 20-8.

Bruce Campbell was man-of-the-match in a tough decision with some outstanding performances by Steve Stafford, Wayne Alberts, Paul Grant and Adrian White.

Sunday week Yeppoon plays the loser of the Brothers and Fitzroys match on Sunday.

B grade squash has new faces in new season

DID you miss out on the bargain price for vinyl in last week's Capricorn Coast Mirror?

Graham Hansen, of Hansen's Carpet and Curtain, advertised 4-metre-wide vinyl, fully laid, for only $7 a metre! Needless to say, that bargain was a misprint courtesy o f "Old B aldy" who blames pressure of work. The advertisement should have read $59 and, as soon as the paper came out on Friday morning, "OB" spotted the mistake he had made and phoned Graham. He asked if Graham could bring his tape measure to the office and give a price on doing both floors "with your $7m. vinyl".

Graham, who hadn't seen the paper at that time, said he was all out of the wrapping that protected the rolls but as soon as some more came in he'd be straight down to quote. "OB" then informed him that the price of $7 was what his advertisement quoted and apologised for the mistake. That was Friday. On Monday, when "OB" dropped around for this week's advertisement, Graham told him he'd had no problems with the wrong price ... "I just told everyone that the Mirror had bought my complete stock ... when do you want it delivered!!!" The correct advertisement appears on page 1 today ... and "OB" apologises to those people who really did think the price was $7 and started measuring their rooms.

•• • IT was a bad week for the Mirror staff ...

Suzy has been sick for weeks and really needs a lift. A bloke rang her, talked for quite a while then said he would drop around to see her.

When he called, he dropped off the information he had promised then remarked, casually, that when he had been talking to Suzy her voice had conjured up an image of a 24-yearold busty blonde with long flowing hair. Suzy asked him was he now disappointed and the bloke, displaying the tact that made Australia what it is, s aid "yes"! Matey, you were on track ... just 20 years too late!!!

•• • HAVE you been offered the "Golden Wave"? Rhett Watson has. It arrived in a pink envelope from Madame Daudet, 382 Main St, Hackensack, NJ 07601. On the face of the envelope was written ... "I cannot understand why you haven't answered my letter. I do hope you're okay. You can still benefit by the golden opportunity inside this envelope. But you can't put it off another day! MD." Inside was a whole lot of waffle about birthdates and astrological observations ... and information that Rhett had "entered the Golden Wave" of his life. Others, it seems, who have entered their "Golden Wave" have sent Madame Daudet "thrilling letters" telling of big lottery wins, a proposal of marriage, a nice pay rise and improvement in health. Now Rhett, like most of us, would love to get rich quick ... but, being only 14, wasn't too keen on the proposal of marriage. Oh, by the way, he was asked to post $US30 and sign an attached Oath of Secrecy.

Pity the letter didn't have perforated pages ... he could have given the Golden Wave the Golden Wipe!!!

•• • INCIDENTLY, "OB" recently passed up the chance to be a millionaire ... he was offered a calculator that worked out which horses would win the races ... but apparently he had to buy it. "OB" reckons he'll come into a scheme like this the day the promoters send you the machine, or whatever, on no obligation ... and let you pay it off from the winnings!!!

•• • BIG BOB EVANS is back in town driving a huge ex-Army truck with an ex-Army trailer behind. Old mates wanting to keep on his good side are respectfully requested not to mention the State of Origin series ... Bob, from NSW, takes the subject very seriously!!!
