CAPRICORN COAST Chamber of Commerce and Industry president John Jackson said this week he would call on members at Tuesday night's meeting to write to Police Minister Terry Mackenroth seeking more protection for Yeppoon.

His action follows last week's Capricorn Coast Mirror page one story highlighting the increased amount of theft on the Coast.

Mr Jackson said 105 robberies in 120 days was evidence that crime was getting beyond the control of the number of police stationed at Yeppoon.

"No-one is criticising the police," Mr Jackson said. "They can only do so much. If the amount of crime is increasing it follows that the number of police must also increase."

He said the problems with undermanning at Yeppoon Police Station had not suddenly become serious ... "the need for increased police numbers had been an election issue throughout last year".

Last year, then Member for Broadsound Denis Hinton had claimed construction works planned for the police station, and allocation of two police trainees, as proof of the National Party's concern.

Then candidate and now Member for Broadsound Jim Pearce criticised Mr Hinton's statements.

On October 27 last year, Mr Pearce said: "If the best he can come up with is two police trainees in a marginal seat two months before an election it's little wonder the electorate is embracing the Labor Party's policies on police staffing.

"Opposition leader (now Premier) Wayne Goss has categorically stated Ycppoon will have a 24-hour-a-day police service once he becomes Premier.

"He made this statement not eight weeks before an election but many months before, when he arranged for ALP Police spokesman

Terry Mackenroth (now Police Minister) not to issue a press release but to personally visit Yeppoon Police Station earlier this year."

Mr Pearce said at the time these visits were "not election gimmicks".

"They were a sincere attempt to sec how the National Party was performing because the party is notorious for pork-barrelling in marginal seats.

"They (Mr Goss and Mr Mackcnroth) were amazed that such a serious issue as public safety was literally going to be white-washed with a coat of paint (the police station extensions and painting) rather than giving something solid to the community."

Mr Jackson said late last year then Police Minister Vince Lester had visited Yeppoon as part of a State-wide familiarising tour.

"Mr Lester criticised the ALP's promise of a 24-hour police service then countered with the offer of a 24-hour service on weekends," Mr Jackson said. • CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

The Committee of Review of THE QUEENSLAND TOURIST AND TRAVEL CORPORATION invites Individuals and organisations with an interest in the tourism and travel industry to join them at a Luncheon Forum to discuss the role, functions and future direction of The Queensland Tourist and Travel Corporation.

A YOUNG couple who lost their vehicle after hitting a black bull on a dark stretch of Farnborough Road want to form a group that will pressure the State Government to make animal owners responsible for damages caused in vehicle/animal accidents.

Marian and Phillip Jenkins, who live in Browns Lane, Farnborough, have been financially flattened by the accident.

Last Tuesday, about 10.15pm, Marian Jenkins was driving home from work in a Peugeot utility when she struck the rear of a black bull.

The mother of a pre-schooler and a toddler, Mrs Jenkins was badly shaken up by the accident. The bull walked off.

As bad as the accident was from the fright it gave the family, the economic impact was even worse ... the vehicle was uninsured.

Mr Jenkins said the family did not have enough money to insure it because he and his wife still owed the owner $4000.

"We bought the vehicle from a friend because we needed it for transport to our jobs," Mr Jenkins said.

They thought they would be able to get the vehicle repaired by contacting the property owner ... but a solicitor advised them they could wind up being sued for any damage they inflicted on the bull.

That made them see red. They said they did not believe they were in any way responsible for the accident and, as a result, should have their vehicle repaired at no cost to themselves.

"Repairs will cost thousands of dollars and we just don't have it," Mr Jenkins said.

"What makes it even worse is that I could lose my job without transport (he's a gardener who needs a utility) and my wife certainly has to have transport for her job because of the hours she works in a restaurant." (Their second car is a 1959 Holden Station Wagon).

As a result, the Jenkins decided it was time the owners of properties which allow beasts to roam the roads should be made responsible for the damage they cause.

They want anyone who has ever been involved in an accident with an animal to contact them so a group can be formed to pressure the State Government.

"We now have a Labor Government and its attitude surely must be in favour of the worker and not the cow cocky," Mr Jenkins said.

FOR some years now I have been concerned about the safety of the people of Queensland who drive on our roads, particularly at night, and who face the risk of colliding with stray cattle and/or horses.

I understand the current law rules that the owner or occupier of land adjoining ahighway is under no duty to users of the highway to prevent his animals from straying onto the highway.

There is no duty in a stock owner to maintain a fence at all and no liability for animals straying on to highways.

I have taken this matter up with Justice and Corrective Services Minister Glen Milliner.

Police station upgrade starting soon

Les McDonald 39 3133

THE upgrading of Yeppoon Police Station, at a cost of more than 5250,000, should start in four to six weeks, Member for Broadsound Jim Pearce said on Wednesday.

He said he had spoken to Police Minister Terry Mackenroth on a number of occasions regarding the commitment to upgrade Yeppoon Police Station and provide more police so Capricorn Coast residents and businesses could have around-the-clock protection.

After hearing of the current spate of robberies in Yeppoon, Mr Pearce said he had again contacted Mr Mackenroth.

"The Minister said the recently purchased home would be converted into barrack facilities for single officers stationed in the town," Mr Pearce said.

"The section of the police station currently

AN overall shortage of staff within the Queensland Police Service was not helping the prospects of increasing police numbers at Yeppoon Police Station, Member for Broadsound Jim Pearce said this week.

"There is a need for at least 10 extra police to be stationed in Yeppoon to service the area's growing population," Mr Pearce said.

"There are presently only seven uniformed police officers, two detectives and two water police stationed at Yeppoon.

"I am asking for at least another 10 uniformed officers to assist with the increasing workload and to provide a 24-hour service for the Capricorn Coast," he said.

"The government has committed itself to increasing the Queensland Police force by 1200 officers in its first term.

"Funding of S2.8 million has already been provided for the recruitment of additional trainees for financial year ending June, 1990.

"At present there are 21 squads, each containing about 25 officers, in training at the Police Academy," he said.

"Apart from five additional squads, the remaining 16 are in training to replace officers who leave the force due to attrition factors such as resignations, age retirement, death, dismissal or discharge."

Mr Pearce said for the financial year to April 1, 233 police officers had left the service, representing an attrition rate of 4.5 per cent from a police total strength of 5149 officers.

"This attrition rate is making it a difficult task to actually increase police numbers and place new officers in areas where they are most needed," he said.

occupied as barracks will be converted in to office accommodation. This will permit the whole of the existing police station to be used as an office."

On completion of the improved office facilities there would be adequate accommodation for additional police.

"These improvements mark the first step toward achieving a 24-hour police service for the Coast," he said.

"The overalls importance of providing the area with a 24-hour service has been brought to Police administration attention.

"I understand there is a need for at least 10 extra police to be stationed at Yeppoon and I am pushing for that number," Mr Pearce said.

"Property, homes and businesses must be protected but we must first have the necessary police numbers and staff facilities to do this."

of busindss people at Keppel Bay Sailing Club.

He told these people the station could not be given a photo-copier but he said he had authorised an electric typewriter to replace the manual one police were using.

"It's now six months after the election hype and we are still waiting for either a weekend 24hour police presence as promised by the Nationals, or a full seven-day, 24-hour police presence, as promised by the ALP, which is now in government ... and, as I understand it, the police are still waiting for their electric typewriter."

Mr Jackson said he would be calling on chamber members to vote to write to Premier Wayne Goss, Police Minister Terry Mackenroth and Member for Broadsound Jim Pearce reminding them of their promise and call for that promise to be fulfilled.

"I will also be asking for letters to be sent to Livingstone Shire Council, the CCTO and service clubs requesting they back the chamber," he said.

"The thefts are increasing, both from homes and businesses. Increased violence could be next. We have waited long enough. It's now time for action."

The chamber will also discuss its call for Yeppoon's James and Normanby Streets to be transformed into a Shopping Park and proposals for the Pineapple Festival.

Mr Jackson said a chamber deputation had addressed Livingstone Shire Council's Tourism and Development Committee last week asking committee members to recommend to the full council that it back the chamber's call for agreement in principle to "upgrading James and Normanby Streets"; prepare a sketch of the proposal and an estimated cost.

"The chamber wants discussion to be centred on one proposal, not a multitude," he said.

The chamber bf commerce meets at the Strand Hotel on Tuesday night. Everyone is welcome to attend. Members and guests gather from 6.30pm for a 7pm start.

By-law change proposal...and resident aims to beat Great Aust. Apathy A COAST resident has advertised this week in an attempt to overcome the "Great Australian Apathy" ... he wants fellow residents to protect their right to sub-divide their land.

Ami Sew, a dentist and land developer, said he was acting in the interests of all residents ... "I don't think people are aware of what Livingstone Shire Council is attempting to do," he said.

Mr Sew said a recent advertisement placed by the council called for objections to the proposed repeal of two by-laws.

"Among all the legal wording is the potential loss of one right that all Australians should be able to enjoy ... the right to peel off a block of land from their main holding," he said.

Mr Setu said the proposed by-law change only affected Rural A and Rural B blocks ... "but even people who do not own land in thes e categories should object.

They are losing a basic right."

Mr Setu said the proposed change to by-laws would mean that people who had bought Rural A and B blocks knowing they could recoup some of their costs by sub-dividing could soon find themselves stuck with a large block that was of no use to them.

"Previously, and until the by-laws are changed, people with say a 12ha or bigger • allotment were able to apply to council, meet whatever requirements were necessary, then sell off two smaller blocks," he said.

"What it meant was that people who wanted to live with room to move could create a couple of smaller blocks for • people who wanted a similar lifestyle without the hassles involved in maintaining a large acreage.

"This meant that council received three lots of rates where previously there had been only one; more residents meant growth, and roads and services could be upgraded ... and the person with the large block could recoup enough to make the investment worthwhile."

He said the proposed change would particularly affect people seeking the lifestyle enjoyed by people in Hidden Valley, Pacific Heights, Tanby Road, Howes Road, Cawarral and Byfield.

"It's spread all over the place and people just aren't aware of how they could be affected."

Council's advertisement on May 18 had the power to remove these rights.

What is of particular concern to Mr Sew is the way the matter has been handled.

"If council had no thing to hide it would have advertised its proposal and called a public meeting at the same time," he said.

"In this way, everyone who was affected, or was likely to be affected, could have attended the meeting, listened to what was proposed and had the benefit of all the facts.

"Instead, because of the way this matter has been handled, I have had to talk to everyone I, have met and try to make them aware of what is happening.

"I don't have all the facts; I can't spend one hour with every person I meet and, quite probably, do not have enough powers of persuasion to make people act.

"But I have done my best because I believe everyone should know how this change of by-laws could affect them."

Mr Setu said even people who did not own Rural A or B blocks should be • concerned because they did not know their own future.

They could decide to move out of town onto a larger block then find how important a right they have allowed council to take from them because of apathy.

"The council held a special meeting on May 9 to propose this change and, so far as I know, it was not advertised," he said.

"There has been no publicity, until now, and objectors must act before next Tuesday, June 5.

• "I am worried that unless council gets a barrage of criticism it will repeal the • by-laws and nothing more will be heard of the matter ... until future land owners want to peel off a block to reduce their mortgage.

• "That's when the screams will start but, by then it will be too late."

• ABOVE: Yeppoon-Emu Park QATB officers played out a scenario as part of their training for a competition. A call came in to the centre that a man was lying on rocks at Ross Creek. He had apparently gone fishing and while at sea had injected himself with drugs.

In his drugged state he fell over backwards and landed on his fishing knife which was then embedded in his back. Ambulance officer Trevor Clarke is pictured taking the patient' s pulse and officer Col P urton is recording the relevant details. The patient is officer Ashley Wells.

Resident blasts IRA sympathiser AS an Australian who has young relatives currently travelling in Holland, I condemn the attitude of the Australian resident IRA sympathiser Seamus McGettigen who excuses the shooting in Amsterdam of two young Australians by the IRA as being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

As Australians, we are used to the seeing Irish, British and many other nationalities living together. We do not comprehend the hate that drives Irish terrorists to hunt and cold bloodedly shoot down innocent young people.

Nor can we comprehend how a person living in our country could possibly condone such a contemptible attack.

Such support in our country suggests something similar could happen here if there are others in the Connolly A.sociation with similar attitudes.

I am afraid that action such as this will cause us to look upon the Irish in Australia in a new light, perhaps one of mistrust and fear.

I have asked for this letter to be published without my name and address as I feel it is no longer safe to do so.

Remember, the Fishing's Great at the Causeway Lake!

AF1ER your front page reports of tyre slashing thefts in Yeppoon I would like to ask parents if their child is a criminal?

The very thought will prompt incredulity and indignation, yet it is a thought all Capricorn Coast parents should face because the biggest percentage of crimes are committed by people under 17.

Youngsters can be seen wandering the streets in the early hours of the morning. Tom says he is staying the night at Fred's place. Fred tells his parents he is staying at Tom's. Is it true? Maybe it is a cover for both to stay out engaged in criminal or other anti-social activities.

We, of the older generation carry a heavy burden of responsibility for what our children think, say and do.

Never has a generation been so pampered and yet so neglected, as are the young people of today.

This is an age of instant gratification where people of every generation want more and more of society's delights in the quickest, easiest way possible.

They forfeit one of life's greatest fulfilments, the satisfaction of having worked and saved and waited to gain what they need.

Many youngsters, therefore look further afield for excitement and gratification. Too often they are finding it in acts of foolish bravado and crime.

The older generation has failed young people in another critical way too. Too many mothers, by working unnecessarily, have abdicated their throne as queen of the home.

Too many fathers are absent, engaged in every conceivable type of extra-domestic activity, much of it good, but still depriving the house of the head of the home.

Too many parents are at the club or beer garden while their children, deprived of parental companionship and guidance, have to fend for themselves.

We need to spend more time with our children, to play with them, to share their problems and difficulties as well as their hopes and joys, and to know where they are and what they are doing.

In still another way the older generation has

Don't Miss Queensland's Premier Reef or Island Trip aboard

Capricorn Reefseeker the luxurious 35-metre catamaran that leaves Rosslyn Bay daily

failed its children by a wholesale failure to discipline.

The apostles of permissiveness have done incalculable harm to the younger generation and to society. Permissiveness has invaded every avenue of life, be it material or behavioural.

A notable casualty is stable family life. Too many young people have been deprived of that basic advantage. Strong values, material, social and moral have been eroded.

Without strength of parental guidance, without discipline that is firm, but calm and loving, it is little wonder that many youngsters are wayward and rebellious.

St Paul observed that "whatever a man soweth that shall he also reap."

Society having sown parental indulgence, negligence and aversion to discipline is reaping bitter fruits.

- May Bailey, 31 Charles Street, Yeppoon

Auction delay a waste of rates I AM a Capricorn Coast resident and ratepayer of Livingstone Shire and feel my rates and others have been wasted by the postponement of last Saturday's Livingstone Shire Council land auction on Seaview Hill because of wet weather.

Another auction was held on the same day on behalf of a private owner, admittedly it was an inside auction, but it was still raining and people did turn up for it.

The council auction had three to four times more people than the private one ... I was at both.

I understand people came from as far away as Kingaroy to attend the council auction ... they would have known exactly what they were buying. They certainly would not travel so far without knowing. I wouldn't travel that distance just on an advertisement in the paper.

If I had been the person whose land was being auctioned I would have been absolutely delighted with the number who turned up. In this day it is unusual to have so many people turn up ... and in the rain too!

When the sun is shining and an auction is held a number of the people attending are doing just that - attending. People like to know what is happening in their area and what value their land has and that is why they attend.

Those sort of people probably would not turn out on a wet day.

I would say that the majority of the people who were at the council auction were potential purchasers.

If the people were prepared to turn up in the rain and the real estate agent. was prepared to hold the auction why didn't it continue. The land could not be sold for under the reserve price.

In case people don't understand what happens at auction, here's an explanation. The person selling sets a reserve price. That is the lowest amount they are prepared to accept.

Council does the same. It doesn't matter whether there are five people or 50 that reserve price doesn't change. It doesn't matter whether the sun is shining or if it is drizzling, the reserve price doesn't change.

If the land doesn't sell at auction, it then goes onto the public market. So, why not hold the auction?

The auction was stopped by Livingstone Shire chairman Cr John Bowen. He reportedly said the views could not be appreciated because of the rain.

What a lot of rot. Those people knew what they were buying or at least hoping to buy.

The auction is now supposed to be this Saturday, or will it be? Maybe it might rain again.

Then again, maybe whenever those blocks are being auctioned it may rain then too. Maybe they will never be sold.

Meanwhile, the advertising to tell people about the auction is paid by the ratepayers.

And more ads have to be taken for the new date.

But that's not all. The ratepayers have now missed out on the interest from those expected sales. And maybe there are some people who will never return to a council auction after the disappointment they had, and the cost of travelling long distances.

I thought council's idea was to bring people to the Coast not turn them away.

Let's all pray for fine weather this weekend, otherwise the ratepayers could be up for more money.

Peace group calls for nuclear ban AT the annual Palm Sunday Rally for Peace and Nuclear Disarmament in Brisbane on April 8, a resolution was passed that a petition calling for Queensland to be officially declared a Nuclear Free State be presented to the Queensland Government.

To date we have collected more than 1000 signatures and we intend to present them to Parliament during this current sitting.

People should not doubt the value of such low-key activities. Each has a part to play. Some important successes have been won by the Peace, Justice and Environment movements.

Many governments world-wide have adopted significant initiatives proposed by these community-based movements.

However, many dangerous problems remain to be dealt with. One of these presents a serious threat, close to home in Queensland.

Uranium has been mined and transported, proposals to build processing and enrichment plants are put forward periodically and we continue to be confronted with nuclear armed and/or powered war fighting vessels in our ports.

Implementation of Nuclear Free status would prohibit these threatening activities.

Our petition is one way in which people from every section of the community can play an active part in taking us all closer to a sustainable future.

We are asking anyone interested in supporting the petition to write to the Rally for Peace and Nuclear Disarmament, Box 110, Paddington, Brisbane, 4064, for further information and petition forms.

- Joan Shears, Rally for Peace and Nuclear Disarmament.

WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY June 5 The spiritual, social and physical environments of man are all interrelated. The growth and development of the vegetable world is impossible without the existence of the animal kingdom and the maintenance of animal life is Inconceivable without the co-operation of the vegetable kingdom. Of like kind are the relationships that exist among all created things. Hence it was stated that co-operation and reciprocity are essential properties which are inherent in the unified system of the world of existence and without which the entire creation would be reduced to nothingness.

Public meeting in February,1889, was start of Emu Park State School

A PUBLIC meeting was held in Emu Park on February 9, 1889, to form the Emu Park State School Building committee.

A few days later, Rees R Jones, MLA, was informed by the Under Secretary of the Department of Public Instruction that action had been taken to secure land for a school reserve.

Eighteen days later, February 27, the committee stated it preferred Section 28 as a school reserve. The site suggested by the department was in Keppel Street and the site agreed to by the committee was the present site in Hill Street.

On September 26, 1889, the committee deposited $320 (160 pounds) to the department's credit, subscribed by people living in the area as one fifth of the cost of the school.

Doors opened Feb. 3, 1890

EMU Park State School opened its doors on February 3, 1890 in a temporary classroom in Comley's Hall (next to Rivera Hotel in Emu Parade) with 21 pupils and Benjamin Long as Head Teacher.

On March 31, 1890 the staff doubled when Lizzie Minnis was appointed assistant teacher.

In this, its centenary year, Emu Park State School has 20 staff and 270 pupils. There are 40 pre-schoolers and 230 primary students.

Dennis Wex has been principal since 1978; pre-school teacher-in-charge is Abigail Sawyer; teachers, Glenn Collins, Elizabeth Warwick, Pam Younger, Vianne Sherriff, Shireen Mathers, Lyn Tappin, Kathy Roberts, Wendy Larsen, Greg Richmond and Elizabeth Goodsell. Sue Stevenson is the pee-school teacher aide and school aides are Edrae Damrow, Margaret Thwaite and Kathy Coulter. Judy Spreadborough and Faye Sharrock are cleaners and Peter Giulieri is groundsman.

In January 1890, tenders were called for the new school buildings, with provision for 60 pupils and a residence, which were to be completed in three months at a cost of $1600 (800 pounds). The successful tender was from Christian Andreas Schmidt of Yeppoon.

Benjamin Long was appointed Head Teacher of the provisional school established in Cornley's Hall (next to Rivera Hotel in Emu Parade) on February 3, 1890 and Lizzie Minnis was appointed assistant teacher on March 31.

The new school was completed on July 3, 1890. On August 21, 1890 Joseph Dickson Bogie, Frederick Comley, Joseph Atkinson Holdsworth, Rees Rutland Jones and Robert Sharpies were appointed members of the Committee for the State School at Emu Park.

The building was 2.4 metres (eight feet) high to provide shelter for the children. A tender was accepted from G Pettit on September 7, 1897 to add a kitchen to the school residence in addition to repairs and painting.

In 1945 the department drew up plans for a new school and residence because the old buildings were in poor condition. The new buildings were to be considered in the 1946/47 financial year. On July 26, 1946 the school building was destroyed by fire and school was temporarily conducted in Emu Park Hall.

By 1948 anew school was built with two new classrooms 23 feet by 22 feet each. Each room could take 40 to 48 pupils. A new residence was built in 1950.

A temporary classroom was put under the school in 1968 while anew wing consisting of a double teaching space and withdrawal was planned. This was completed in 1969 and anew septic toilet was included.

A second double classroom was added in

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday

1975. Then another double classroom was constructed in 1980 under the 1975 construction.

Growth was such that in 1981 a modular classroom was added to the school and a single unit pre-school was built in 1982.

The 1980s ended with another double classroom with workroom and withdrawal opened in May, 1988 and a staffroom and administrative area completed in 1989.

Emu Park State School started its centenary year, 1990, with a new covered area (17m x 12m), replacement of the old bitumen parade ground with brick pavers and landscaping with log gardens, shrubs and turf.

School wants old pictures TOM Edmistone attended Emu Park State School from 1938 to 1945 and is a member of the school's centenary committee member.

He is one of the army of people who have been collecting and collatinginformation about the school's and Emu Park's early history.

The school and its files were destroyed in a fire in 1946 and the committee appealed to the community and its old pupil network to help with information and photographs.

Response to the appeal was substantial and enabled the centenary magazine committee to edit an interesting history of the school and town.

"It is amazing that no-one brought forward any photographs of the train turn-table," Mr Edmistone said.

"Many trains came to Emu Park in those days and because it was a single line, the engines had to be turned around for the return trip.

"There was a turn-table between Bell Park and the old railway station and everyone used to turn up at about 7pm to watch the train turn.

Surely someone must have taken photographs of it.

"If anyone has a photo we would like to include it in the historical display at the school during centenary week. The photos can be left with the principal, Dennis Wex."

4,4 Whisky bottle part of history • By Olivia Markham UCCQ jounalism student WHAT do 13 cuts, fire, war, stewed chicken, the Mayor of Rockhampton, Washington DC and a bottle of whisky have in common?

They belong to a collection of memories brought together by the Emu Park State School Centenary Magazine to be available next week.

Former pupils Tom Edmistone (1938-45), collected 13 cuts of the cane in one day; Archie Davison (1916-24) remembers when Ernie Cora ran into "fowl" play by making chicken stew from one of the headmaster's chooks in the playground; Rex Pilbeam, a pupil in the '30s, became Rockhampton's Mayor; and Jean Woodward (1935-42) took up a top job in Washington, DC. In what must be a record, Tom Edmistone said: "I got 13 cuts in one day. Six for throwing Arthens Notaras' school bag over the fence; another six for writing on a wall and the extra one for something I had done. earlier in the day."

That was one pupil's recollections. Teachers look at things from a different point of view.

In her recollections for the magazine, Mrs "Billie" Stevenson said she was puzzled by the lack of children to teach on her first day.

It was 1942 and the children had been given three weeks off because of the fear of bombing raids.

No bombs fell but the children would have enjoyed the break ... ironically, without any help from bombs, the school was totally destroyed by fire in 1946.

Joan McGuire (1935-43) recalls the occasion. The volunteer fire-fighters were at a meeting when word ran through Emu Park that the school was on fire.

They connected their hoses, started the pumps, and nothing happened. Desperate, the volunteers formed a bucket brigade but, as most of the towns-people watched, the old school was destroyed.

Those were the days that parents and grandparents refer to now as "the good old days".

Jean Woodward (1935-42) recalls these days as "before Penicillin, medical and social-security benefits".

Jean Woodward recalls not just those days but her later life when she worked in Washington DC. Her Scholarship pass had ranked her among the top two per cent in Queensland and this eventually led to work in the United States and travel throughout the world.

The Centenary Magazine contains a wealth of information that will have special meaning for former pupils and be of interest for years.

It is the sort of magazine that will be sought after by historians in years to come. It is full of facts plus enough recollections to make it well worth the $8.

The school started in July, 1890, with 21 pupils. A century later there are 270 pupils.

Today's pupils will look back on their school years as being of special importance because they were part of the Centenary celebrations.

And, when they look through their magazine, they will find an article about a bottle of whisky ... and its connection with their school.

Perhaps they will ponder which generation had the most fun.

GOVERNMENT red tape was alive in well in the late 19th century when an Australian community decided it needed a school.

Emu Park resident and historian Tom Smithwick attended Emu Park State School from 1909 to 1914 and he contributed an article for the school's centenary book describing how the school started.

"It appeared, before the Education Department (then called the Department of Public Instruction) would consider building a school, the following procedure had to be carried out.

"First, a committee had to be formed of the residents desiring a school and their names submitted to the department.

"Secondly, the number of children expected to attend, their names and ages, the distance they lived away from the school, the name of their previous school, and the names of their parents or guardian was required.

"Thirdly, a committee was to be formed to select a suitable site for the school and to state the type of building required and the materials to be used. Further, a list of firms willing to subscribe to the cost of building such a school and the approximate cost."

Magazine a mammoth task

Lyn Solito Real Estate

EMU ark State School is looking back over 100 years' education ... and forward to another 100 years.

Visitors to the fete on Saturday, June 9, can purchase special centenary souvenirs of coasters, glasses, tea towels, biros, key-rings, badges, bookmarks and teaspoons, donate an inscribed book to the school library, pay for an engraved paver or plant a tree that comes complete with a commemorative plaque.

Appliance Repairs

THE majority of the information for this feature celebrating Emu Park State School's centenary has been made available by principal Dennis Wex. "Most of the information about Emu Park State School has been provided by ex-students, ex-teachers and the Education Department," Mr Wex said.

"The school and its records were destroyed in a fire in 1946 and when we decided to prepare a centenary magazine we realised it was a mammoth task.

"An editorial committee was set up and the response to our appeal for help was amazing," 'he said.

"Word was passed from one to another and people came forward to help. Through this 'old Emu Park' network and with Tom Edmistone and Tom Smithwick's invaluable assistance, we were able to put together a magazine which is a credit to all who helped."

The magazine will be available during the centenary celebrations for $8 a copy.

Past and present pupils can buy the souvenirs to remind them of the centenary and maybe put them away for their own children or children.

The books, pavers and trees are for future pupils so they can see the school's progression into the 21st century. Future pupils may borrow a library book donated by their parents, walk on pavers engraved with their family name and sit under the shady trees provided by relations and friends.

Capricorn Coast Mirror June 1- June 7, 1990 - 13

Old and new ready to mix it in Saturday's derby THE draw for starting times in the 10th Annual Hobby Horse Cup was undertaken on the weekend under the close scrutiny of the GGJC (Girl Guides Jockey Club).

A total of 58 nominations gives a great • balance of talent and contains an interesting mix of 'old' stayers and new hopefuls.

Add to this the impressive range of stalls and other entertainment and you have a morn' ing of fun and excitement.

Television cameras may capture some of the antics and the 4R0 Big Band will definitely be at Beaman Park on Saturday to keep things rolling along.

'Form Guider' expects the competition to be intense, as he has seen many who have been excelling in work-outs. Some have moved to the beaches to prepare for a wet track, whileothers have found it just as wet up in the hills.

'Form Guider' insists that no outright favourite has yet emerged, but reckons the only sure bet is that the morning will be an eventful one and should not be missed.

Heat 1: 1st Novice Handicap is underway at 9am and should be a fierce tussle between two lads from Yeppoon Aussie Rules Football Club. Will Swan's Pride emerge or will Aussie Rules?

Another lad to keep an eye on is Dan's from Yeppoon Stockfeed. Murray (is getting) Greyer (Murray Estates) and Keppel the Bay (Keppel Bay Motors) has gone around for a feW years now. The Galloping Pharmacist (Stewart and Brumm) could again have the right prescription.

The 2yo Stakes at 9.10am should prove to be a Smashing Time (Yeppoon Glass) for the Wombat Flyer (Sacred Heart School). He will be out to Scratch 'n Dint (Yeppoon Panel and Paint) the untarnished reputation of Pacific Terrific (Pacific Hotel), who would prefer a later start.

Nevertheless, the big money is on Phantom Nag (Capricorn Newsagency) to find the Rain. bow (Rainbow Video).

Heat 3 is the 1st Improvers Handicap and should see sparks fly as Sparky (Yeppoon Auto Electrics) takes on Short Circuit (CQ Electrics). Paperman (Savemore News) has shown he is Not-Yet-Exhausted (Yeppoon Exhausts), ` but Wanger (Wang Australia) will find it difficult to come through the Seaspray (Seaspray Holiday Units).

Heat 4 gives us the first appearance this season of the fillies. Due to start at 9.30am, it should be a beauty. Captain Kirk (Yeppoon State High School) is the defending champion and will again want to control the pace.

King Prawn (Rosslyn Bay Fishermen's Coop) has been picked up by the Coastline Cruiser (Coastline Real Estate) in early morning (track) work and both appear to have Lost Horizon (New Horizon Cruises).

Hi Ho Silver (The Masked Mum from Yeppoon Kindergarten) might as well find a good book and join Novel Lover (Yeppoon Library) to give Netball Nellie (Capricorn Coast Netball Association) some room and a - chance to score.

The Glyn Wyeth wfa sees Herb's Hope (Minter Motors) trying for a Keppel Surprise (PGH). Track work suggests Bone Crusher (Friends of the Yeppoon Nursing Home) will Be Prepared (St Brendan's College), while Kitchen Kapers (Yeppoon Kitchens) will not be Stranded (Strand Hotel) in this company.

Heat 6, The Beaman Park Flying, promises to live up to its name. Mighty Mickey Q (Mickey Q Hair Design) is well fancied, as is Waross (Yeppoon Kitchens and Bruce Ross).

If Tuck's Chop (James Street Butchery) can get in for his, then Gliderol (Yeppoon Door

Centre) will be off the tracks. CWA Flyer (CWA) has been impressive over the quarter mile, but Regal Rocket (Regal Bakery) should bring in the dough.

The Ned Warren Classic at 10.15am should indeed be a classic. Everything's Hunkey Dorey (Brian Dorey) if you've Three Arms (Suncorp - out of SGIO) to hang on with. This newcomer to Yeppoon certainly has the connections and is earning plenty of interest.

There is bound to be a Mighty Roar (Yeppoon Lions Club) from Pollies Pick (Jim Pearce) as Rotary's revenge (Yeppoon Rotary Club) is taken.

If Disco (can) Duck (Commonwealth Bank) and leap Froggie (Froaaies Tuckshop), he should pay off the mortgage with a win in this one.

Heat 8 brings back the fillies in the Second Division. Global (Global Seafoods) has a world of experience and Lioness Lizzy (Yeppoon Lioness Club) is well credentialed.

Radish (Yeppoon State School) has put in some hot performances but will find it difficult to match Mary's Mount (St Brendan's).

Nevertheless, the Flying Pie Girl (Aussie Hot Bread) will close the Pearly Gates (Yeppoon Dental Protection Association) for anyone caught on the Rails (Railway Hotel).

The 10.45am Golden Gough 10,000 bring last year's winner, Sapphire (Yeppoon Kindergarten), to the arena. John 'Camel Dundee' Richardson has been training hard for the event. However, three newcomers to Hobby Horse racing may test him. Lentil Lad (Healthy Grub) is looking very fit and Beachside 66 is in the hands of a new trainer.

Nutz Nag (Nutley's Auto Care) has received favourable reports from around the track. Rosslyn ( Rosslyn Bay Kiosk) is travelling well, but will need to keep an eye on Roy the Boy (Club Hotel). Telecom Tom (Telecom) has many connections and plenty of support is coming down the wire for him.

These nine heats are followed by semi finals (if needed for elimination purposes). The Powder Puff Derby (the fillies' final) is scheduled to take place at 11.45am. This gruelling race will see the first three place-getters from the Maiden Handicaps vying for the 'big one'.

The prestigious Hobby Horse Cup (the winners of the seven men's heats or place getters from the semis) should be under way by 12.15pm, but not before you are given the chance to become part owner of the finalist of your choice.

TO ALL LAND OWNERS of RURAL 'B' & RURAL 'A' LAND Do you realise that, as per notice in Mirror, dated May 18, Livingstone Shire Council is deleting a by-law which enables you, as of right, to subdivide, a couple of one hectare allotments off your land.

If you do not lodge an objection before Tuesday, June 6, you will lose this right.

I have inserted this advertisement because I feel people may not be aware of council's intention to change this by-law and you may find out when it is too late.

I feel this action, besides lowering the value of your property, infringes on your democratic right to subdivide and is a definite case of over-regulation.

If you are concerned, phone council for details and lodge an objection before the due date.

I can be contacted on 39 3473 or after hours, 39 7578.

"The completion date is June 25 and bookings are now being taken for the new boxes.

"People who have post boxes in the new building must remember to use their key to collect mail. Staff will not be able to leave the main post office to collect mail for people who do not have their key."

New plates reflecting new approach QUEENSLAND vehicles owners will in future have the quality of their registration number plates guaranteed.

It will mean owners are protected against any manufacturing or quality defects for five years from the day or issue of the plates.

Announcing the guarantee, Transport Minister David Hamill said that although the reflective type of plates in use assisted in road safety and vehicle identification at night, they were less durable than the old type non-reflective plates.

"In recent years, a problem has become evident with some of the early issue reflective plates. They have deteriorated, losing their reflective capacity and become difficult to read from distance," he said.

"Similar problems have been experienced elsewhere but we are the first State to negotiate a guarantee," Mr Hamill said.

Replacement plates outside of this period would cost $13.

"This charge will also apply to plates which are damaged or destroyed by other methods within the guarantee period."

Mr Hamill said motor vehicle owners were responsible for maintaining plates in a clean and legible condition.

• ABOVE: Lanc Lacy, left, and Dave Bibby headed off a Wandal player on Saturday in the A grade game ... while Danny Bromley nearly has it.

180 to 0 victory to Swans against Boyne Island Tannum Sands team THE Boyne Island Tamnun Sands Australian Football team proved to be little opposition to the Yeppoon Wide Bay Swans.

On a rain-soaked Saturday both Yeppoon grades were victorious in their games which helped them consolidate a position at the top of the CAFL ladder.

The Reserve grade proved to be too powerful and strong and annihilated the BITS team by 186 points.

The team combined well to play good runon football that was entertaining for the crowd.

Allan Kilpatrick led the blitz on the BITS goal by kicking 7 majors, Robin Masek and Chris Hacker kicked 5, Peter Tickner, Russell Frew and Paul Nicholls goaled twice, and Bill Culton, Greg Geissman and Tony Liardo each kicked one.

The backline was only troubled by the BITS forwards a few times and easily broke up any forward movement.

It was good to see the return of Tim Mynott, Anthony Warwick and Greg Geissman to the footy ground, with all playing strongly and contributing to the good win.

Score: Yeppoon 26/30/186 to BITS 0/0/0 Awards: Mug, Allan Kilpatrick; Kristin's Haircut, Chris Hacker, Pacific Dinner for Two, Robin Masek; Annies Pies, Bill Culton; Rainbow Videos, Tony Liardo.

The A Grade team dealt the undermanned BITS team a 66 point blow. The Yeppoon team took charge in the first quarter kicking 4 goals while keeping the BITS team to 3 points.

They were never really troubled by the offence of BITS and if they were, the backline easily routed any forward charge.

Goalkickers were Greg Williams 3, Bryan Munn 3, Danny Bromley, Stephen Bird, Russell Frew, Troy Tomkins, John Heathcote, Steve Burns each kicked one major.

Greg Williams played a solid game around the nicks, roving the ball well and disposing the ball forwards, creating many chances.

Aaron Thompson played with his usual consistency, running through the packs and delivering the ball to his team mates perfectly.

Rod Chapman's nick game is going from strength to strength, and he showed his dominance in the ruck beating his man with ease.

His commitment to going in hard and bending his back is great. Captain Steve Burns dominated the centre, breaking down BITS forward attacks, and turned defense into attack.

Danny Bromley ran hard for the game's duration, playing good, solid attacking football.

Score: Yeppoon 12/15/87 to BITS 2M21.

Awards: Mug, Greg Williams; Denison S tar, Aaron Thompson; Pacific Dinner for 2, Rod Chapman; Rainbow Videos, Danny Bromley; Angliss Meats, Steve Burns.

Junior Swans play Parkana AFTER a bye last week Junior Swans play Parkana Grammar on Saturday in Rockhampton starting at 8.30am.

The boys are looking forward to some good support from parents again.

Last week's under 17 game was called off due to rain in Rockhampton and this weekend the side is playing in Rockhampton again ...

Sunday at 12.15pm.

Training as usual on Friday at 4pm, Swan Park. Any boy interested in playing Australian Rules can go along on Friday and see Rick Williams.

Trials for under 15 and under 17 representative side are after the game on Sunday in Rockhampton.

Indoor bowlers celebrating 21st birthday of bowls and travelling ■ By Bill Shuttlewood YEPPOON Indoor Bowling Club, which celebrates its 21st anniversary this weekend with a dinner on Saturday night and bowls and a barbecue lunch on Sunday, could well be called "The Travellers' Club".

When a busload of YIBC members travel to Mackay rater this year, it will be the 16th occasion the club has travelled the 410 kilometres to do battle with their northern counterparts - and it will be the 32nd time the two centres have met in friendly rivalry.

However, YIBC played away from its home base before that time.

In 1972 vice president (now president) Bernie Robson organised the first (and as yet only) indoor bowls tour of New Zealand by an Australian indoor bowls club.

It was a 14-day tour and included economy air fares, hotel and motel accommodation on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis in twin rooms, all lunches and all sightseeing as listed in the itinerary and the cost ... 5374.60!

The tour was named Yeppoon Indoor Bowling Club tour of New Zealand with Newman's Coach Tours and travellers included 11 YIBC members and 31 indoor bowlers from 10 Rockhampton clubs.

Also in 1972 Bernie Robson was the leader (and also the bus driver) on the first-ever visit to the Dawson Valley (to Goovigen) to play teams from the Callide Valley Indoor Bowls

Association in what is known as 'Ye Olde Davis Cup' trophy.

YIBC was soundly defeated in the game and as a gimmick YIBC's first games director (or as it was then known St Andrew's Yeppoon Indoor Bowls Club) presented Bernie Robson with an old china cup.

This cup has now become the most-contested trophy between the two centres in twiceyearly reciprocal visits which are now in their 19th year.

Who on that first trip to Goovigen will ever forget the laborious effort of the ancient school bus in negotiating Stopford Highway and how it limped into Goovigen where Goovigen indoor bowler-garageman Key Carter patched it up for the return trip to Yeppoon.

St Christopher was certainly on Bernie Robson's shoulder that day!

Also, 1972 was the year YIBC went to play outdoor bowls against Mt Larcom Bowls Club.

At that time YIBC had a number of top lawn bowlers as members and it was no surprise the Yeppoonites finished on top. The mooted return match never eventuated.

YIBC also exchanged visits with South Bundaberg Indoor Bowls Club.

If you add to the above excursions the numerous times YIBC has travelled to Rockhampton to play in association and club games, then YIBC must surely hold the title of the most travelled bowls club in the State.

Character and courage shown in CapCoast Rugby's gritty win CHARACTER and courage best describes Capcoast Rugby Union Club's A grade performance on the weekend when the side downed fourth-placed Gladstone 12-7 under lights at Rugby Park in a gritty match.

Chilling winds and constant drizzle made the game uncomfortable for the players and unpleasant for spectators but the five point win gave the club reason to smile.

Unfortunately an under-manned reserve grade side went under, although gallant in defeat, to Mt Morgan 37-0 in a free-flowing • encounter.

The earlier match saw the U-19s pull out a polished display against Colts, the front-runners capitulating 13-3 to the Baysiders.

Representative commitments, injuries and absentees saw Capcoast field an unfamiliar side for the A grade clash against a determined Gladstone outfit.

John Atkinsoh and Peter Lane were on CQ duties in Ayr, Mick Bongers was out injured and Andrew Farlow was unavailable, to complicate coach Paul Marshall's selection dilemmas.

Alf Reid came in for Atkinson up front, Matt Boyd was shifted from fullback to flanker to cover Bongers, youngster Joshua Belz and Cam Schroeder came in on the wings with Dale Wetzler returning at fullback.

In further reshuffles Dave Stewart moved to five-eight and Mark Kelly moved to outside centre, to give the backline a jigsaw puzzle look about it.

For the first 20 minutes of the game the Coast side played without confidence and lacking direction, and it was in this time Gladstone had a good try out wide after a sweeping backline movement.

This opened the account and the Grufs led 4-0. Capcoast then started to settle down and play the game at hand with the forwards, who started slowly, showing more cohesion.

Mark McGuire directed play well and the backs penetrated out wide. Capcoast's only try came as a result of a good, sharp break by the wily McGuire from a nick on the Gladstone 22 metre line. Brought down short of the line he laid the ball back beautifully and the everpresent Jeff Bennett scooped it up superbly and dived over for the try.

Gerard Read added the extras and Capcoast led 6-4 which was the half-time score.

The second stanza was a dour affair with both sides grinding away at each other to no avail. Some sparkling backline play from Caprnnst kept the Gladstone defence on its toes but to their credit they came up with the goods.

Capcoast's only remaining points came from the boot of Read with two penalty goals and Gladstone added a penalty right on fulltime.

Coach Paul Marshall was happy with the

commitment and determination showed by his troops in the trying conditions and described it as probably the most satisfying of the victories this year.

In a jubilant dressing room after the match he pointed out that with a little more control and refinement that comes as a long season progresses Capcoast will be forced to be reckoned with as finals' time approaches.

Halfback McGuire had a strong match with his darts from the scrum base and his tactical kicking continually turning Gladstone on their heels.

Dave Stewart, out of position at fly-half, also impressed and will put pressure on Lane when he returns from his rep duties.

In the forwards Craig Dando, Brad Flynn and tireless Jeff Bennett went well, hunting the ball. And up front loose-head Mark Gilligan once again set the platform with some powerful scrummaging and control around the paddock.

Capcoast is second on the table with a game

in hand, one win in arrears of Colts.

Fielding a depleted and short reserve grade side Capcoast was not in the hunt against a cavalier Mt Morgan connection and the mountain boys ran out easy winners 37-0.

In their traditional style the mountain men were not deterred by the bleak conditions and threw the ball around seven tries to nil shellacking Alf Reid tried hard against his old club and Brent Matthews also never said die.

The U-19 Coast outfit turned in a commanding rendition to down premiership favourites Colts in the early game at Rugby Park.

After having been beaten on both previous occasions the two sides met this year. Capcoast had a point to prove and did it well through superior forward play and good attacking rugby from the back.

Both tries for the Coast were scored by the robust number eight, Bernie Lambley with Keith Heritage converting one try and Ron Mackie adding a penalty goal.

Special mention this week to 'Go Forward' award winner Josh Bela, who played all three grades last week and made his A Grade debut handling himself well. He deserves a big pat on the back. Well done, Josh!

This week sees Capcoast take on reigning A Grade and U-19 premiers University in all three grades at Rugby Park, from 12.30pm. The games promise to be free-flowing affairs and quite tight as is the case with the majority of Capcoast-Uni clashes. The reserves are at 2pm and A Grade kicks off at 3.30pm.

Ycppoon High dominated both the team and individual events in the age group races which had 80 to 100 runners in each.

Yeppoon High had four individual Capricornia Champions. Misty Old (13 years) and Trista Valentine (14 years) strode across the finish first.

Misty won by nearly 400m in the 4km race and Trista set a new record for a 14 year old girl by slicing 20 seconds off the previous best.

Yeppoon boys Mike Chandler (open) and Bo George (16 years) were not to be outdone and scored two vital wins for the boys. Mike won by nearly 200 metres and Bo ran the fastest time of all age groups.

Yeppoon High set another record when 24 of its runners forced themselves into the 60member Capricornia Team to compete in the CQ Championships.

The other Capricomia Team members and their individual places are: Boys: 13 years Mark McQuade, 4th; Damien Plahn, 7th; 14 years Chris Robertson, 2nd; Bjorn Prince, 5th; 15 years Andrew Wilkinson, 2nd; Tony Beck, 3rd;

NEXT WEEK'S FEATURE

Team wise, the High School nearly made a total clean sweep of everything.

Yeppoon won 9 out of 10 age groups claiming first in teams in: 13 Year boys and girls, 14 year girls, 15 year boys and girls, 16 year girls and boys and open girls and boys.

The girls won the junior aggregate, the senior aggregate and the overall Capricornia Championships with Rockhampton Girls' Grammar 2nd and St Ursulas 3rd.

The boys earned also the junior aggregate, the senior aggregate and the overall boys championship ahead of St Brendans, 2nd and Rockhampton Grammar 3rd.

The school's success is attributed to their five-month preparation and intense school spirit.

Yeppoon athletes are now preparing themselves for further cross-country and athletics competitions.

SATURDAY and Sunday mornings were such cold and miserable days the sun didn't bother to get up. It must have stayed in Europe, or where-ever the sun goes when it leaves Australia. The result was one of those weekends that makes you want to stay in bed.

But, people being people, they get up, make a cup of tea, burn the toast, spread the Vegemite too thickly and contemplate mowing the lawn.

For 'Old Baldy' the temptation to stay in bed. all weekend was overwhelming ... he was duet to turn 45 on Sunday. Instead, being a father with a wife, two children, two dogs and a cat to support he made the effort and got up on Saturday morning (11.45 is still morning, isn't it?). He dragged himself to the table, slurped a cup of tea, crunched through the • toast, wiped the Vegemite off his chin ... then kissed his wife. It was another day!!!

LATER that day he learned the cupboards were bare (remember, he has two sons, two dogs and a cat) and Suzy suggested they drive to Yeppoon to stock up. He dressed, found the car keys ... then remembered the clutch had packed pp on the blue van the night before. On this cold, wet, miserable Saturday, they had to drive to Yeppoon in the Moke. On a fine day, with a gentle breeze, a golden sun and the ocean nearby, there's nothing like a ride in the Moke. On a cold, wet day ... there's nothing like a ride in the Moke.

Showing a spark of life unseen earlier in the day, 'OB' raced Suzy to the Moke and grabbed the driver's seat ... he had just remembered the canvas hood leaked, but only on the passenger's side. As Suzy grumbled on the drive to Yeppoon about water dripping down the back of her neck, his day took on a considerably brighter outlook!!!

BY late afternoon, with most of the shopping packed in a plastic garbage bin in the back of the Moke (have you seen what rain in a Moke can do to cardboard packets) 'OB' was waiting patiently while Suzy talked to someone in Anzac Parade. While twiddling his thumbs he noticed a young bloke dash from a car parked on the beachfront toward the shops in Seaview Arcade. The young bloke, beard jiggling as he ran, sprinted to the edge of the road, looked left, looked right, looked left again ... and noticed a car blasting toward him. And, smack in front of him, stretched across the road, was a puddle. The young bloke, realising he was about to be covered by a monumental splash, stepped back onto the carpark ... and into a puddle!!!

'OB's' day was complete ... he was ready for 45 the next day .

YEPPOON woman has friend from South staying with her and took her for a walk through town to show her the sights. The woman, who's quite proud of Yeppoon, was a trifle upset when her friend stopped suddenly and said: "What's wrong with this town? It's all blurry?" Now, Yeppoon has been described as many things but 'blurry?'

A few steps later the friend stopped again, put her hand to her eye and said: "I know why it's blurry ... I've lost my contact lens". (Should that be contact 'len' because she only lost one?) Anyway, if you find a tiny blue thing stuck in your thong bring it to the Capricorn Coast Mirror office ... according to the friend from the South, it's the blurry place on the corner of Adelaide Park Road and Cliff Street!!!
