Cricketers in first-up win CAPRICORN Coast Cricket Club second grade won the first 1989/90 season's game on the weekend against Frenchville at Yeppoon Showground. Coast needed 115 to win after the first day's play and set about in a tradesman-like fashion with the top order wearing down Frenchville's bowlers. This allowed the middle order to score freely. P Huxtable gained 35 runs, J Dawes 30 and J Ingle top-scored with 76 not out and gained man-of-the-match. Coast scored 8 for 210 and Frenchville's first innings were 115. The third grade side was beaten by Parkhurst in the first innings and fought back with courage. Parkhurst continued on at 1 for 122 and was bundled out by T Ellison and D May, taking 6 for 40 and 3 for 54. The innings closed at 167. Coast, batting in its second innings, showed a determined effort at the crease and at stumps, 5 for 119 with R Scoffin leading the runs with 46 and D May, 30. T Ellison was man-of-the-match with innings with 27 and 17 and bowling 6 for 40.
LAST week's item on sharks at Fraser Island prompted Gary Hasell, who was taking a break from telling visitors about the Capricorn Coast at the Information Centre, to recall a sight that has stayed in his mind for years.,He used to operate a scenic tour on Fraser Island and one day he noticed a fourwheel drive parked near the surf with a rope trailing out to sea. Puzzled, he stopped to see what was going on. Nothing happened for a while then, suddenly, the 4WD driver jumped into the cabin, started the motor, and drove straight up the beach. Coming in behind, on the rope, was a dirty big shark. The 4WD owner had simply baited a hook on a rope and tossed it into the sea. Must have been one very surprised shark that took a bite then found itself hurtling toward shore. That story is the only one that has ever made me feel sorry for a shark!!! TRACY HANSEN is new in town and opens a bistro and cafe on Monday called ' Castro's ... which is obviously named to "revolutionise" Coast eating habits. She hails from Brisbane, or so it seems when you first talk to her. She talks about managing a coffee lounge in Milton, supplying Aroma's Coffee Lounge with her home-made delicacies to put herself through Queensland Institute of Technology (it took six years but she's a Batchelor of Business) and how difficult it is to smoke in the Big Smoke because everyone seems to be a paid up member of the Anti-Smoking Lobby. Since arriving on the Coast she's had numerous invitations to hand-feed native animals (locals seems to feel all city people have never seen a native animal) but she would like to make it perfectly clear that she's quite accustomed to handfeeding native animals ... she spent her early life at a place called Tinaroo Dam where her parents operated a motel. In case you're wondering where Tinaroo is it's near Atherton ... and it had its own supply of native animals! •••
CAPRICORN Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry was deep in thought on Tuesday night solving the world's problems when Barry Wetzler of the Cooee Bay Store remarked that if plans go ahead to complete a full four-lane highway from Yeppoon to Rockhampton it would make it even easier for locals to shop in Rocky. The trip was getting shorter and shorter, he told the I members. Quick as a flash, former president Andrew McLelland had the answer: "We should agitate for two lanes from Rockhampton to Yeppoon ... and a dirt track from Yeppoon to Rockhampton"!!!
BLOKE went to Capricorn International Resort on weekend for night out with friends and tucked $50 note into the back of his wallet as "spare cash" in case he needed it. Night wore on, friends imbibed freely and it was time for this bloke to cough up for another round. Feeling a little light on in the front part of the wallet, he absent-mindedly reached into the secret compartment for the $50 and handed it to the waitress. She quietly told him it wasn't enough to pay for the drinks. Shocked at how much they must have cost he was about to make a remark when she nodded at what he had placed before her. It most certainly wasn't a $50 note ... it was a condom!!!
