Shire candidate has bottler of an idea for future $1000GIFT

LIVINGSTONE will be the name on everyone's lips if council candidate Dusan Cech gets the support needed to bottle Capricorn Coast water and market it to the world.

Mr Cech, a self-made man who describes his financial situation as "comfortable," has travelled the world and the one thing he has noticed is a growing shortage of fresh water.

The Capricorn Coast not only has an abundance of fresh water but also water that has a good taste.

His idea is to go to the actual source of the Coast's water supply to bottle only the purest.

This water, coming from the "Livingstone Trust", could initially be marketed throughout Queensland then, as sales grew, it would be marketed in other States and, hopefully, the world.

Mr Cech is confident the product would be successful because clean, fresh water cannot fail as the world beromes ever more polluted.

He sees the idea as one that needs a solid push from behind combined with leadership from Livingstone Shire Council.

The council would be required to set up a perpetual trust for the benefit of the people of Livingstone Shire.

"The sole purpose and activity of the trust will be to exploit our best and most natural resource in a sustainable and non-damaging way," Mr Cech said.

"The idea could succeed as a purely commercial operation where someone puts up the money to start and market it, then picks up the profits down the track," Mr Cech said.

"But I don't want the idea for myself ... I see the chance to bottle our water as the chance to put all of our troubles behind us and move ahead as a successful, prosperous community."

He wants Livingstone Shire Council to give the lead, not with money, but with the setting up of the trust and with encouragement.

The idea has everything the Capricorn Coast needs ... industry, providing jobs for residents withoutrequiring special training; a simple source of product (the water) without requiring hundreds of millions of dollars for a project such as mining; and it combines the two areas that seem to be the way ahead for the Coast — industry and tourism.

He said government funds were available to research ideas of this nature and, once the research showed the viability, further government funds could be called on to set up the venture.

"There are other ways, such as involving an existing bottling plant or an existing business already operating in this field (a soft drink company or fruit juice distributor on a shared, reducing equity basis), but I would rather see council involved from the start to maximise the community's shares in the profits," he said.

He has already looked into the marketing side of the operation and sees the chance to spread the Coast's fame far and wide.

He has already received help from Yeppoon artist Marina Ranger who selflessly prepared sketches of suggested labels with names such as "Waterpark", "Mountain Spring" and "Upper Stoney". CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

LIFE EDUCATION PROGRAMMES FOR COAST LIFE Education Centres have a special visitors programme for parents and the community as well as primary school students.

Capricorn Coast parents have been able to take advantage of the special composite antidrug education programme for primary school children at Farnborough, including Byfield students, and Yeppoon schools.

From Monday the van will be at Emu Park school and then it heads to Cawarral. Students from Mt Chalmers, Keppel Sands and Coowottga schools will go to Emu Park or Cawarral.

Before the Life Education Centre van leaves the Capricorn Coast at the end of the term, Sacred Heart School students will also be able to see the programme.

It returns to the Capricorn Coast for the start of the 1992 school year.

Parents and visitors are able to visit the van and times set down in conjunction with the host school and educator/teacher Trish Horgan.

The Central Queensland Life Education Centre is a community-based organisation funded by voluntary contribution. Part of that community benefit is having the composite programme for adults.

People who attend are shown what the children are taught in the different age groups and questions are answered by the educator/ teacher.

The basic running costs of the van is S4 per child per year. With more than 1500 primary school children on the Coast, the community has to raise a minimum of 56000 per year to maintain our responsibility.

"This year, so far, we have received donations of 51000 each from Livingstone Shire Council and Yeppoon Rotary Club," Capricorn Coast Life Education Centre sub-committee president Dave Larkin said.

"The Smile for Life campaign in November raised about 51400 and Scope has Years 1 to 7 disco for Life Education on Friday, April 5 in

Yeppoon Town Hall during the school holidays."

Telecom is sponsoring the programme by moving the van from place to place at no charge and local businesses have assisted with either labour or goods: Chris Bell Signs; Jocumsens' Carpet Cleaning Service; Professionals Yeppoon; Stickley and Associates; McGuire and Associates.

The CQ committee, which includes Rockhampton and Gladstone as well as the Capricorn Coast has reaised sufficient money to purchase the high-tech mobile classroom and employ a specially trained educator.

Donations of S2 and over are tax deductible and can be left at Bruce Towle's clinic, Hill Street, Yeppoon.

The sub-committee has its annual general meeting on April 16 at he Keppel Bay Sailing Club.

NOTICE TO THE PEOPLE OF LIVINGST1NE SHIRE THE assumption that people had when three and a quarter health officers were employed by the Shire, that a nit-picking exercise would begin that would send them to the wall, has become a reality.

Requisitions to comply with current health standards have been made to many, if not all premises that serve food. Few are in the financial position to meet these requirements within 60 days.

All are angry. Some haven't seen a health officer in the last two years; others believed they complied - having observed previous standards; most believed many requirements to be impractical and see themselves as victims of competition between officers to justify their existence.

No doubt it is the State Health Department that sets the standards that are being enforced by the officers, but on what criteria do they base these standards.

It is just another case of bureaucratic backsides sitting on chairs formulating rules for a section of the public with whom they have completely lost touch. Upgrading health standards each year keeps them in a job.

The observance of basic health standards is necessary for the protection of the public, but some of the items contained in the requisitions border on the ridiculous.

The practical element of good sense seems to be missing in this case and it's something on which I intend taking immediate action if elected to the chair ... at local and State level.

CANDIDATE'S BOTTLER OF AN IDEA FOR COAST CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The labels, in colour, show scenes unique to this area ... scenes of tranquillity, of ferns, mountains and untouched landscapes.

Under the labels would be the wording: "From the pristine waters of the Livingstone Trust".

The labels, wrapped completely around the bottles, contain information at the rear about each of the areas on the label.

Mr Cech's idea demands consideration because it is the one industry that has the potential to unite the conservation movement and those who

would seek growth.

Bottled water, if it caught on and sold nationally, could make this area a household name bringing tourists to enjoy the areea's natural state.

Mr Cech said spring water was only a fledgling industry in Australia but was already worth about $20 million a year.

The Coast could become a part of this industry.

Mr Cech said he would like to see a group of volunteers, with expertise in the various fields the project needs, come forward and work together to take the idea further.

WILDIN Barbara for Livingstone Shire Chairman

COLUMN A Weekly Column by Member for Broadsound Jim Pearce, MLA Yeppoon Electorate Office - (079) 39 2352 Phone Reverse Charges I URGE all parents to be aware the popular novelty bracelets commonly called 'magic' or 'slap wrist' bracelets, could pose a danger to children. The bracelets are made of a thin, flexible strip of spring steel, covered by plastic or a woven fabric. When slapped on the wrist, they curl instantly to form a bracelet or armband. The problem occurs when the fabric or plastic wears. If this happens, sharp edges of the steel can become exposed and could cause lacerations to the user. These bracelets are popular and perfectly safe when the covering is intact. However, I urge parents to regularly check for any sign of wear to the covering material. If any is found, please dispose of the bracelet immediately.

Dear Elector, You know by now I am campaigning for the position of Shire Chairman. I do not intend to offer you the usual vote chasing propaganda. However, I am offering a positive programme of objectives and policies that will lead the way to a brighter future for Livingstone. I ask for your support if you want to help me change the "system" and make the Shire a better place in which to work and live.

In the meantime, consider the following: 1 Under the leadership of the present Council, Yeppoon's nett total rates have risen from being the 16th highest in the State in 1985/86 to the 7th highest in 1989/90.

It won't stop there until you have a Council that is prepared to stop expenditure on non-essential work and at the same time, reduce costs by improving the efficiency of the workforce.

2 As at 30/6/90 the Shire's debt was $17.5 million. What you have not been told is that this will rise to $25 million in 1994 based on this Council's own estimates for loan borrowings in their projected 5 year plan.

3 Expenditure in EDP services (computer equipment) for the past three years plus estimates for the current year amount to $835,000 in just four years (or $800 oer working day). What you have not been told is that the equipment is not operating as it should be.

4 Office salaries are up 41.5% in 3 years. Phone communications are up 78% in 3 years. Engineering salaries up 47% in 3 years. This present Council has budgetted $150,000 from borrowed loan monies to build an extension to the Administration Centre to house the expansion of the office staff.

5 The Council budget is, in my opinion, framed in such a manner as to underestimate income and thus require increased unnecessary rates to be levied in Ratepayers. Instead of Council exercising restraint, the additional income is spent as "emergent expenditure" ($566,000 in January), contrary to the intent of the original budget. I believe Council should adopt a "belt tightening" course of action in this period of hard economic times.

6 As at 30/12/90, Council had $5.4 million available to spend (refer January '90 Financial Statements) on roadworks throughout the Shire. Yet what do you see about you. So much so for "no money fix your road".

I undertake that I will, as Shire Chairman, ensure that your interests will be represented and protected, no matter what the coastal/rural membership composition of the new Council is.

To do this, however, I need your support and your vote.

Please contact me, 39 3322, should you wish to discuss specific issues of concern to yourself.

Yours faithfully, Tony ewe

Such a group would investigate the whole idea to see whether or not it was viable. If the group thought it was viable then the next stage would be to seek government help for further research.

"Nothing should proceed until the project is guaranteed of financial success," he said.

PHOTOGRAPHERS! Backgrounds are important WHEN taking photos of friends and family, take a little time to make sure you have the right background.

Backgrounds can be boring or even distracting.

People standing against a plain wall can turn out looking like a police line-up. People milling around behind your subject can leave other people wondering whose picture you are really taking. And what about that wheelie bin that takes pride of place in some photos.

Flowering shrubs make an excellent background outside, in fact, any sort of flora or fauna is good.

When inside use indoor plants or some attractive area of the house but remember, beware of pointing toward windows or doorways where outside light will affect your exposure.

NEXT WEEK: Photographing moving subjects.

Arbor Week celebrates third year with 'reverse Arbor week' LIVINGSTONE Shire Council this week announced its third annual Arbor Week promotion from March 4 to 9, and a tree-planting programme throughout the shire.

Hundreds of young trees and shrubs selected to suit the varied shire conditions will be planted in streets, parks and schoolgrounds next week.

The scheme was introduced in the 1988-99 financial year by the council's recreation, parks and sports advisory committee.

Tidy your yard for Tidy Towns TIDY your yards ... Keep Australia Beautiful, Tidy Towns representatives will be in Livingstone Shire on March 14 and 15.

The representatives will survey the Shire to decide what areas will be awarded the coveted Tidy Town awards.

The Shire, as well as individual areas - Ogmore, Marlborough, The Caves, Yaamba, Yeppoon, Emu Park and Keppel Sands - will be categorised and if any area fulfills the criteria, could win an award.

The committee members are deputy chairman Cr Brian Dorey and Crs Maurie Webb, Lloyd Webber, Kevin Hinze and John Smith.

Cr Dorey said communities throughout the shire responded strongly to the tree planting plan.

More than 3000 trees and shrubs have been planted over the past three years under the scheme, in addition to thousands of council works plantings in parks and along Capricorn Coast shores.

There were 18 requests from communities for trees and shrubs for the 1991 Arbor Week following circulation of a questionnaire for the supply of plants from the shire nursery.

Among those participating in the tree plantings are progress and ratepayers' associations, and schools, at Yeppoon, Cooee Bay, Emu Park, Keppel Sands, Coowonga, Cawarral, Mt Chalmers, Byfield, The Caves, Yaamba, Marlborough and Ogmore.

Cr Dorey said council had organised a "reverse Arbor Week" this year in conjunction with Arbor Week. The "reverse" part allows people to donate surplus plants to council.

Donations of plants can be made by phoning the council works department on 39 3388 and arrangements will be made to pick them up.

Donations of $50 already have been received from Keppel Sands and Cawarral for purchase of plants for next year.

AFF RDABLE CHILD CARE Government subsidy slashes child care cost to 800 an hour A FEDERAL Government subsidy has made child care affordable for all on the Capricorn Coast.

Faced with a shortage of child care places in some areas, the government decided to utilise existing privately-owned centres to ensure parents were not disadvantaged.

The subsidy was made available only to privately-owned centres that met the necessary criteria. They are regularly inspected by the Family Services D •artment to ensure the continue to

• ABOVE: Aaron Moran and Catherine W ozniak painting cutouts for the collage behind them at Yeppoon Day Care Centre.

comply with the regulations.

Yeppoon Day Care Centre was one of the first to be approved for the subsidy of up to 85 per cent of hourly charges.

Centre owner Ann Dickson said fees of only $2.50 an hour were slashed to just 800 an hour after the subsidy from the government.

For parents with two pre-schoolers needing day care, the subsidy rate of 91.5 per cent meant an hourly charge of only 700.

"It has made day care affordable for all families," Mrs Dickson said.

The subsidy is paid, after application of a means test, on a sliding scale.

"The result is that parents no longer work just to pay child care. A couple who leave their child with us five days a week for eight hours a day now pay only $35 if they qualify for the full subsidy," Mrs Dickson said.

"The best part of it from the Coast's point of view is that we now have the same benefit that has been available to people in Rockhampton for years.

"People in Rockhampton and those in capital cities have been able to take their children along to government child care centres and pay these low fees for years.

"The government's change of attitude toward our privately-owned centre simply means that Coast residents are no longer disadvantaged."

Subsidy application forms are available at Yeppoon Day Care Centre and staff will help to fill them in. The subsidy is available for both permanent and casual care.

"Subsidy is available even if you only want us to care for your child for just one hour while you go to the doctor," Mrs Dickson said.

"Come in, fill in the forms and take advantage of the subsidy. It's there to help you ... and you never know when you might want a break for an hour or two."

Fully qualified care costs less than a neighbour helping out YEPPOON Day Care Centre can provide fully qualified care for pre-schoolers for less than the cost of having a neighbour helping out.

Owner Ann Dickson said because of subsidies that now applied to her Yeppoon centre, childcare costs as little as 800 an hour.

"Even neighbours charge more than that," Mrs Dickson said this week.

There are vacancies at the centre for both permanent and casual child care.

A fully-fenced yard houses an adventure playground, a sandpit and a shaded play area so that children can enjoy supervised outdoor activities in a natural setting.

Indoors, the day care centre is a giant playroom withbrightly-coloured children's tables and chairs, artists' easles, educational toys and mattresses for that all-important afternoon rest.

Open from 7.30am to 5.30pm, Yeppoon Day Care Centre provides parents with peace of mind when they have to leave the children all day to work or just want a break.

They do more than mind the two to five-yearolds left in their care. Education is very much a part of the daily routine so that each child benefits.

"There's a lot more to it than a well-meaning neighbour turning on the TV and letting your child be 'entertained' for hours on end," Mrs Dickson said.

"We use television for specific, educational prograrruves, but not for child minding ... and there's a big difference.

"The two to five-year-olds enjoy their time at the centre. They play games with other children of the same age, sing songs, join in discussions on topical issues such as the meaning of Australia Day or whatever is in the news.

"They thoroughly enjoy their day and can't wait to come back tomorrow," Mrs Dickson said.

Numbers have started to roll up, but we need more players - most particularly for the Rocky Games. There is an Under 14 competition on Saturday, March 9 and Under 17 on Sunday, March 10.

The Under Ils compete on March 17 - boys don't need to be registered for this competition, but registration will be necessary for the pre-season competition.

The clubhouse is nearing completion and

the committee, players and supporters are grateful to the workers who have given time and effort to get it to this stage and to the council for its co-operation in helping to achieve this 'dream'. "We are confident the builders will have the clubhouse ready for the 1991 season, but we still need finance. The ladies committee has held a street stall, a wooden toy raffle (won by Mrs Chilman) and a cent sale, and are grateful to all supporters of these functions," spokesman Yvonne Motton said.

"Please have a look at the club and clubhouse you have supported. The oval is looking great, and will look better when we see the drainage finished, and trees planted around the area."

Singing Ship bowls welcomes 44 bowls visitors for social play SEVENTY-TWO people enjoyed the weather and the game at Singing Ship Indoor Bowls Club when 44 bowlers came from Biloela and surrounding districts.

"One Biloela gentleman remarked during one game, "What a lovely part of the world this is!" and that seemed to be the tone of the whole day," publicity officer Bev Farrow said.

"John and Iris Smith did a good job, as usual, with games directing. John stood in for Trevor and welcomed our visitors.

"Due to the large number of players, it was necessary for four of our members, Billie Stevenson, John and Iris and Olive Eastwood, to forgo their participation in the games. These good sports also did the lion's share of the work incurred.

"Merle Sheridan celebrated her birthday on Sunday, so we sang Happy Birthday to this popular person. Merle donated a beautiful cushion she had made and it waswon by Dorrie Estaway (Biloela).

"A lovely doll doorstopper, was won by Ethel Stratford (Mt Morgan). This was made and donated by Eileen Angus. Our thanks to these generous bowlers for the raffle prizes," she said.

"Trevor and Dorothy Gardiner made a brief visit. I don't think Trev could stand the torture of watching and not bowling. Trevor was minus the neck brace and declared, "I'll be back shortly, even if I have to bowl with my left hand!"."

Triples were played, two games after morning tea, then lunch, followed by a successful cent-sale, three more games followed, then afternoon tea which was appreciated by all.

John Smith made the presentations and the team with most points on the day was Beverly Farrow, Dorothy Anderson and Charmain Boon. Runners-up were Kath McllWraith, Heather Roylands and Fred Congerton.

Sportsman's prize won by Peter Eastwood, Mary Logan and Doris Grinsey.

"There was a huge roll up on Tuesday and we were delighted tohave Cathy Guest with us.

Cathy is a good bowler and one very interesting lady was a member of our club when play was held in the CWA hall. Cathy related some past amusing incidents," Mrs Farrow said.

"Mavis Power is progressing quite well and has moved to Isla House, which is an annexe of Princess Alexander Hospital in Brisbane."

John Smith welcomed Mark Congerton to the growing list of new members on Tuesday.

He has only played a few games and shows signs of being a good bowler.

"Ray remarked, "Championship material?". John also welcomed two visitors from Atherton - Mundo and Kay Loccisano - plus our smallest visitor, pretty Kerley Stratford.

"Josie Gart won the raffle. Josie is another good player who didn't let a fractured hip spoil her fun and is now bowling better than ever," she said.

"Dot Ahern and Jack Thomasson came from Rockhampton. Dot doesn't bowl ... she is a good ballroom dancer. Jack baked a batch of his delicious scones for afternoon tea.

"Vice president Peter and Olive Eastwood drive from Rockhampton every Tuesday and Saturday. This is a great effort and they are good workers for our club.

"Doreen and Harry Sleeman joined us for their first game this year. Cliff Anderson, Joan and RoanHollands also attended, so the mats are getting plenty of use.

"It's a good idea to get names in early for the year's games. If we have too many players, preference must always be given to financial members."

Another good night on Thursday and thankfully a much cooler one, Gladys Scotts and Bill Potter were evening visitors.

"On Saturday, Stella Barram visited us and Billie Stevenson won the raffle..We missed Phil Morris, so it was lovely to see her again. She hasn't lost any of her bowling skill. Ivy Cooper continues to amaze us with her superb play."

MANAGEMENT STRATEGY required for LIVINGSTONE LIVINGSTONE Shire Council candidate Kim Shields believes Council should formulate a management and development strategy to guide the future development of Livingstone Shire.

The proposed strategy should not be confused with the recently released Strategic Town Plant which is essentially only the guidelines set down for town planning and zoning.

The proposed management/development strategy would cover additional aspects such as population growth trends, future infrastructure requirements, availability of future housing requirements, preferred growth corridors and preferred development, the environment, and an economic stratgy to guide our way into the 21st century.

Such a strategy would provide future intending developers and council staff alike with clear guidelines from the Council table concerning all aspects of the Shires's future development.

Such a strategy should be developed by a Council appointed committee comprising a mixture of local business people, representatives from local service organisations, and selected Council members assisted by additional input through public submissions.

Livingstone Shire needs clear guidelines for the future.

For a long time, many pensioners have kept their money in low

"DEEMING"

interest accounts. Some were concerned that their pensions or fringe benefits would be affected if they earned too much interest. The fact is that pensioners can be financially better off if they earn higher interest — and they won't lose their fringe benefits.

To encourage pensioners to get their savings working harder, a new system for assessing income will begin in March 1991. It's called "Deeming" and it applies to income

HOW PENSIONERS CAN EARN MORE INTEREST AND COME OUT AHEAD.

from cash, banks, building societies and credit unions.

Here's how Deeming works.

Any savings over $2000 ($4000 for married couples) will be deemed, or considered to be earning 10% interest.

If your pension is your only source of income and you have less than $20,800 invested at 10% or less ($36,400 for married couples), your pension will not be affected. And if you rearrange your finances to earn the market rate, you should be a lot better off.

If you have small amounts invested, your pension is not affected, yet you will earn extra income.

Even if you have large amounts of money invested, the extra income you can get by earning 10% interest more than makes up for the slight reduction in pension. Special arrangements are in place to help the over 80s.

To help you make the most of your money, Social Security has a special free Financial Information Service for Pensioners (FISP). Your local FISP officer can show you how your income is assessed and tell you about the interest rates available.

Over 33 bank and financial institution accounts that are safe and readily accessible pay pensioners at least 10% at call. To get in contact with a FISP officer, call your local Social Security office.

If you have any questions about Deeming, call Social Security Information on 008 060 123 in metropolitan areas, or 008 112 468 in all other areas including Canberra and Darwin. (The Multilingual Telephone Information number is 008 039 009.) It's a free, call.

•LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • LETTERS TO THE EDITOR •

Questions form of blackmail I WOULD like to take issue with the WildLife Preservation Society of Queensland, Capricorn Coast branch on their so-called log of claims to all candidates for Livingstone Shire Council elections.

I object strenuously to their attempt to influence candidates with their own form of blackmail. I am fearful that any form of government should be intimidated in its decision making process even before being elected.

By all means, they are entitled to lobby the elected council, but, in my opinion they have no right to pre-empt rational debate around the council table by threatening prospective councillors.

I would like to ask all candidates to refuse to reply to this so-called log of claims. It could influence your decisions on many things in future debate, not always in the interest of good council.

I see this attempt at control almost as bad as party politics in Local Government.

- G F Abel, 56 Braithwaite Street, Yeppoon

Candidate shows his 'true grit' I WRITE in relation to Tony Rowe putting 'In his bid as Livingstone Shire chairman.

I feel honoured as a ratepayer and friend, that he is willing to give his time and his experience to help the shire.

His years of knowledge in roadworks, bridges, subdivision, building construction and the environment, would be only some of the benefits and his understanding of the whole of the shire, would also be most valuable.

He is a man who calls a spade a spade, even though some may not like what he has to say.

I doubt whether any candidate, anywhere can put forward such credentials.

Some would think that the strain and embarrassment of being dragged through a Commission of Inquiry, surviving the appeal process, and being sacked in a public gallery (without reason) would be enough to kill the spirit of any man.

It's criminal that this man's engineering career in Local Government has been destroyed- even after the inquiry found there was a great deal of evidence to the effect that he (Mr Rowe) was not only a competent engineer, but that his dedication, loyality and integrity were beyond question.

The quality and fortitude of the man stands out, after the gruelling he received from the last council (four of these members are still on the present council).

To me it shows how much he loves the Coast andwants it to go ahead, and that iswhat we are looking for in a chairman ... true grit.

If Tony Rowe has not displayed his loyalities to the people of this shire then I doubt that any man ever will.

- Bill Mather, cnr Dawson Road and Bruce Highway, Parkhurst

`-deader has her own questions THERE is a great amount of interest among the public about the forthcoming Livingstone Shire election.

I have carefully studied Mrs Wildin's, Mr Dorey's and other policies, but still feel I do not know enough about each of them to decide.

You see, one must either know the person for a reasonably long time, that is, must live in the area for some years or you can only guess in your voting and hope for the best.

There is not much information supplied to the public about the true personalities of our future councillors and if it is given, it is usually shallow and not sufficient to assess and decide.

What can I make of the information that a candidate believes in progress and efficiency and is politically independent? Nothing.

We have all been raised to some, sometimes very different standards of value, we all have

very different views and we are all inclined to some kind of life philosophy and approach.

In all real-life situations we react in accordance with our basic beliefs. For example, some of us honestly believe in a family unit of the old kind, where father was a head and provider, while mother stayed at home and raised children. Others, equally honestly, believe the old family unit is a thing of the past, that women do not need to many to raise children.

When running for the election, all will tell you that they are 'for the family'. When elected you can expect that their preference would be mirrored in their decisions.

One may look after the needs of private schools and worry about syringes found on the beach, while another would prefer to finance a shelter for unmarried mothers and a nude beach tourist project. I am using absurd examples just to show how important it is to know exactly what is really behind the cliche.

Another example: Some of our shire councillors in the past honestly believed the shire efficiency could be maintained through more bureaucracy, more health inspectors, building inspectors, dog catchers and more laws and refulations.

Others, equally honestly, opposed their every move knowing it would inevitably raise rates and taxes and shire's debt.

We can generally say that those in the first group believed in centralisation of power, while others probably have the view that Australia is already the most governed country in the world and does not need more of it. They probably also believe that creating more unproductive jobs is not the best way how to lift the shire out of its debt.

At election time, you, as a citizen-voter, can be sure both groups would claim their goal is 'efficient and accountable shire administration'.

What I want to say, is that because our views, standards and beliefs are so different, political parties were made to match these differences.

Although I hate politics and especially local politics, I know that talk about non-political local government or independency is only wishful thinking. If you wish to have here what your federal or state government has achieved at the large scale, you have to choose the people for it.

If you dread the picture, you have to be very careful to avoid them. I do not have much faith in proclaimed independency. From my past experience, so-called independent people turned out to be the more dependent in their decisions than those whose political tendencies were openly known.

One of our new candidates offers a 'strong voice' to the electors. I am not putting his good intentions in doubt, but I would like to know more - what sort of strong voice?

Thanks to the present political climage in Australia I have come to view the st rona voice' as all those professional protesters, strikers, marchers. They are masters of damning and destroying, but usually they are not prepared to work and build anything.

Our local government should consist of the positive, humble people, not of the destroying kind.

Therefore I would like to ask you, our Mirrornewspaper, to provide ratepayers with a comprehensive guide about the basic moral stands and views of our candidates.

This should not be merely left to advertising, but for a comparative interview where they would have to say yes or no without any sideway out.

Do they believe in God or are they antireligious? Do they believe our land should be kept ours and not traded overseas or to minority groups or do they think otherwise? Do they believe people's lifetime savings and assets should not be jeopardised by various laws and planning decisions? Or do they believe that a good project comes first and somebody could end up on the loosing side during the process?

Do they care about the fact that every law or regulation imposed on the citizen effectively takes some of our precious freedom? Or do they think that to govern means to show a firm hand and we need more discipline for our own good?

Do they wish to increase the number of shire officials and employees - creating jobs but lifting taxes? Or do they believe that taxes

Collection up on old taxes

MEMBER for Broadsound Jim Pearce speaks of all the Labor Government has done without 'one new tax'. What is the difference between a new tax and increases on old ones?

This government has had a bonanza in increasing charges. To name a few: increases in rail freights and fares; charges for DPI services; registration 'hikes' for trucks and semi-trailers, of proportions sufficient to put at least some out of business; land rentals savagely increased on leasehold when the rural people are facing one of the worst periods in the history of primary production and Kerrin has stabbed the wool growers in the back, by breaking his promise to keep the 700c RPS. Now electricity charges are going up after being pegged by the previous government and land tax is rising savagely too.

All of these affect the rural producer and to 'save money' (a new concept for Labor) they are going to close rail stations and court houses, causing much inconvenience.

Mr Pearce, your Government may not have introduced one new tax ... it has caused enough worry and hardship without one.

A thank-you to shire chairman

I WOULD like to thank Cr Bowen and the present councillors for the work they have done on the streets around Yeppoon. Previous councils have seemed to have neglected Yeppoon town, and it always looked 'forgotten'. There is still lots more kerbing and channelling to be done, but at least it has been started.

It is also pleasing to note that for the past 12 months, all the bleating to the press by councillors who couldn't get their own way has settled down. Thank goodness! They were like spoilt children: Let's hope it stays that way. Thank you Mr Bowen.

Come & spend 20 minutes under your car.

We'll put it up on our hoist and then go over it from one end to the other while you watch.

You might be lucky and nothing will need attention — or you might be even luckier and find something that does. And then you'll know how lucky you are because something minor fixed now could save you big money in the future ... or your life.

Wheel bearings do wear out, especially after wet weather when axles have been through stretches of water. Water can also damage the car's braking system.

Spinnacker Room (behind Sails) Bayview Tower 7pm, Tuesday, March 5 I WISH to apologise to Mr and Mrs B Reynolds, formerly of Bangalee, for the evident personal hurt which was the result of my public comments, whether reported accurately or misconstrued.

•• • ADDITIONAL apology is due to SportsNautique and Mrs Chi Chi Murray for the possible intrusion into their affairs while attempting to asnertain the truth about a rumour ... something which I offered and was asked to do.

•• • YET another apology is due to all other candidates for not notifying them of a meeting I arranged on 26.2.91. This meeting was intended, and I thought I stated so to all invited, to quickly but nevertheless publicly - give my answers to the WPSQ log of claims and to present an idea designed to help achieve perpetual protection of our water source while providing massive advertising for our area, further employment and tourism opportunities and an external income stream for the people of Livingstone Shire.

For the purpose of germinating this seed of an idea, I sought to invite a wide cross-section of our community to help evaluate and work on it Other candidates were overlooked owing only to my lack of thought and not as a reflection on their ability to contribute.

I shall do better in the future.

Dusan Cech PS: I also wish to thank Mrs Marilla Ranger for her selfless effort in producing superb artwork for the above-mentioned meeting and doing so virtually ovemight. It was of invaluable help and presented my ideas better than words could.

Thank you, Mahlla.

Sportman prizes were given to a team J Beckman, skip, Jack Little-John Barwick and Bill (Wogga) Ogden. Prizes also by the two above hotels.

Thanks again to all sponsors: Yeppoon Tyre Service represented by Graham and Bev Day ($100 tyre discount); Yeppoon Panel and Paint Greg Simpson ($90 car wash-buff polish); Irons Hardware Col Fraser (S50 voucher).

Friday night bowls saw a fair roll-up to a nice cool night and enjoyable game. Chook winners were B Verney - Daphne Engell and some other known as el Presidento.

A-grade cricketers win points AFTER a break of six weeks because of floodaffected grounds, the Rockhampton Cricket Association A grade fixtures resumed on Saturday.

The Capricorn Coast side went up against Baralaba for the second time this season ... the Coast side lost by only two runs in the first round and was determined to make up for the loss.

After again winning the toss skipper Jeff Ingle did not hesitate to bat on a wicket that was badly under-prepared ... but they did not get off to the start they wanted losing 2-13.

But it was the third wicket partnership between Steve Pidcock and Ross Sheppard that steadied the side. Playing aggressive shots all around the ground, and with good running between the wickets, they put on a 103 partnership.

The rest of the batsmen helped accumulate runs with Jeff Ingle 19, Jason Dawes 30, Brad West 37 and Brod Gough 16 bringing the first innings total to 242.

Baralaba started its first innings well enough being 2-92 but with the introduction of spin in the

20th over, things took a turn for the better from the Coast's point of view.

Dennis Hancock's legspin and Jeff Ingle's offspin had Baralaba all out for 183.

Hancock claimed 3-45, Ingle 4-72 and fast bowler Key Ogilvie 3-27. It was a solid effort from Ogilvie on a pitch that did not offer much assistance to fast bowlers.

Ross Sheppard was judged man of the match for his knock of 70 runs.

Next week, the Coast takes on Frenchville in the last game before the finals. It is a game CapCoast hope to win to secure a place in the semis.

The side would like to thank sponsors of the man-of-the-match award, Yeppoon Tyre Service and Yeppoon Panel and Paint, for their patronage throughout the season.

The club also congratulates Scott Patterson, Keith Semmler and Brod Gough on the arrival of their new-born sons, Morgan, Keem and Michael respectively.

More points to second grade CAPRICORN Coast second grade cricket side convincingly won first innings points against Brothers on the weekend.

The side performed extremely well considering they had a nine week lay off due to the rain.

Brothers batted first on the slow and dead wicket but failed to capitalise on their opportunities, finishing all out for 210 at stumps.

They had several chances to put themselves in a winning position but the Coast bowlers kept fighting back.

Brett Mott on extracted a surprising amount of pace and bounce on a wicket that offered no assistance to the bowlers. He bowled enthusiastically and aggressively to finish with the figures of 12 overs 4 maidens 2 wickets for 32 runs.

Ben Wright also bowled well and was unlucky not to have picked up more than one wicket. He finished with the figures of 1 wicket for 49 runs off 14 overs.

The Coast's star was captain Keith Semmler, who came on and bowled an Allan Border type stint to collect 4 wickets for 9 runs

off 5 overs with his left arm spin. Other wicket takers for Coast were Simon Perkins with 2 for 37 and Tony Ellison 1 for 5.

Coast started batting on Sunday and in the beginning found it hard to come to terms with the slowness of the pitch, at one stage they were 3 for 48 but that was the worst it got.

The star of the batting was Simon Perkins who played a magnificent innings to guide Coast to its win. He finished with 65 and featured in good partnerships with Jeff Tanzer and Brett Motton ... those partnerships yielded 56 and 74 runs respectively.

Coast eventually finished all out for 252.

Other good performances with the bat came from Brett Motton 40, Jeff Tanzer 32, Ravi Setu 27 and Scott Patterson 22.

The Yeppoon Panel and Paint man-of-thematch went to Simon Perkins for his efforts with the bat and ball.

The Capricorn Coast second graders are still on top of the table and are a great chance of finishing minor premiers and advancing to the grand final.

And third graders wins, too!

CAPRICORN Coast third grade cricket team playedAllenstown in a one day game and CapCoast won the toss and decided to bat.

After an early collapse of 4/33, the side recovered to be 4/145 after 35 overs, with a good innings from Kamal Setu with 56 no and Geoff Tanzer 52 no.

In reply Allenstown never recovered from the loss of early wickets to be all out for 104 off 33 overs.

Best bowling was Matt Williams 7 overs 3 wickets for 24 runs, Geoff Tanzer 4 overs 3/13, Mick Barsby 6 overs 2/7 and Darren McDonald 7 overs 1/18.

Railway Hotel man-of-the-match was Geoff Tanzer. This was C apC oast's first win of the season.

In the Capricorn Coast v Mt Morgan game, Coast won the toss and batted first.

At the end of 35 overs they were 6 for 136, with great batting comming from Rick Williams 42 no, Matt Williams 27 and Darren May 20.

Mt Morgan was all out for 125 from 32 overs. Thanks to good bowling and fielding CapCoast were able to record their second win for the season.

Best bowling: Mick Barsby 7 overs 3 wickets for 13, Matt Williams 7 overs 3/24. Railway Hotel man-of-the-match was Mick Barsby.

Next week CapCoast plays Panthers in Rockhampton and hope to make it three in a row.

OUT there, in the wide, wide world, there's a wealth of entertainment if you cultivate your sense of the ridiculous ... such as the sight of the armed guard in the Denham's Supermarket standing beside the frozen foods ice cream section. There he stood, a Rambo with sleeves on his shirt; a Dirty Harry just itching for someone to make his day; a Maxwell Smart waiting for his shoe to ring so he can take a phone call in front of the people lined up to buy their groceries ... and all the time there's this dirty big gun on his hip. He's mean, you can see it just by looking at him, and his eyes never stop scanning; back and forth, forth again then back ... he's like Kit, that whippy-poo car that the Knight Rider hooned around in. Kit had an infra-red beam to search with and this guy was using his eyes in the same way. Then a customer, waiting in the checkout line, summed it up ... "frozen foods must have gone up last night to have an armed guard here today"!!!

•• • TWO customers, who probably could do with another eye test, peered at the armed guard for an indecent length of time (no, they're not staring, staring is what people who have good vision do, people who need glasses peer).

Anyway, there they are peering at this poor bloke with gun on hip when one says: "Is that a Telecom Yellow Pages advertisement on his pocket and sleeves." The other, still peering, pondered the question, decided it was even too ridiculous to answer ... and went through the checkout. The first, who really does need glasses, is still wondering if the bloke had a Telecom advertisement on his shirt!

•• • THE way coins are being devalued and eliminated it may soon be impossible to play a good joke on someone by glueing a coin to the foot-

T

path and watching people try to seruptishiously pick it up without sor of being, well, uh, noticed.

The best place to play such a joke is in front of a pub where you can stand behind a wall but have a legitimate reason for watching the footpath through the window. The people who try the hardest to pick up the money usually become the most sheepish when they realise they've been caught. Realising they're probably being watched, they muster whatever inner strength they possess and walk away, head high ... with a broken fmgemail from trying to lever up the coin. Well folk, one such bloke took his revenge this week. Apparently two 500 coins have provided hours of pleasure in front of the Strand Hotel's Legends Bar ... but no longer.

One bloke who got caught returned that night with a hammer and chisel and took his revenge.

Gee fella, it was only a joke!!!

•• • SOME councillors really like playing with fire, especially during elections ... Kevin Hinz had a crack at "Old B aldy" because he wrote the front page heading last week that said: "They're off! And 16 line up at Caves ratepayers meet".

He reckoned that calling the area Caves instead of The Caves was like saying Yeppoon but leaving off the Yep. "OB" waffled and wriggled

and tried to explain there was some latitude in headings then he gave up and agreed the area probably should be called The Caves ... but l• was still muttering under his breath that thets— should be some latitude in headings. Then he went for a drive from Poon to Park via Cooee and Beach!!!

•• • SPEAKING about headlines, "OB" heard a news headline on TV over the weekend about a coup in Thailand. His first thoughts were for John and Kath Murphy who were holidaying there. Then he thought about what it must be like to be in the middle of a coup (apparently it's a bit different from an election because you don't have to go through the whispering campaigns). Anyway, he started thinking about soldiers running through the streets shouting and swearing and tourists trying to get to the airport to get away and suddenly, the combination of "foul" language, airports and the Murphys combined in one glorious, never-to-be-forgotten headline in the Capricorn Coast Mirror: John and Kath Murphy flew the coup. Unfortunately, very unfortunately, John and Kath Murphy were not in Thailand during the coup, in fact, they hadn't even been there on their holiday ... so we can't use that great headline!!!

•• • EMU PARK'S chief of police Barry Licence "apprehended" and "took into safe custody" a mud crab that was at his gate at 8 o'clock one morning last week. It was subsequently released with no charges being laid ... but he would be delighted if the person who lost the mud crab came and saw him. He was sure the could share a few words on the subject espe cially since such an obviously "caring" person would be relieved to know that "Jenny" the crab is safe!!!

• ABOVE: Emu Park Rugby League played Rockhampton All Blacks in a trial match on Saturday and lost 36-nil.

Trial game day was all black for Emus THE Mighty Emus of Emu Park Rugby League Club held their first trial game for 1991 season at the Bicentennial Oval on Saturday.

Before another magnificent crowd the Emus found the going extremely tough against the more experienced All Blacks side, going down 36 points to nil.

Although the scores would indicate a onesided game, it was only into the second half when All Blacks were able to get a waywith the game. The halftime score read 14 nil.

Considering the wealth of talent available to our opposition, including four Capra representatives, it was a reasonable effort by Park.

Coach Terry Simpson has a nucleus of experienced players who, with the eager younger brigade, should be able to perform well this season.

Some players to impress for the Park were trialist Brett Cowan from Rocky, Big Dale 'Tommo' Thompson our import from Blackwater. They reckon you can take the Dog out of Dapto but you can't take the Dapto out of the Dog. Evergreen veteran Don 'Bandy' Adams, Dwayne Roberts and the youngest member of

the team Brody Norman.

The bad news to come out of the week is the unavailability of the Bluff to make it to the Coast for next weekend's trial game. It was hoped by the club to repeat last year's memorable victory over the more fancied opponents but alas what will be will be.

The club has been invited by Livingstr Shire Council's Parks and Recreation Comrr.... tee to put their case to have improvements to the Bicentennial oval.

"We have support of Emu Park School, junior soccer, junior cricket, junior league, social cricket club and Lions. By Wednesday, we will know if we will have a safe even playing surface not only for our club but for everyone in Emu Park," the spokesman said.

"When one considers there are at least 13 playing fields in the Yeppoon area and all we have is one unsafe goat track then the scales seem to me to be a little bit unbalanced.

"Last but by no means least the club would again like to thank all those supporters who attended our game last weekend. We will lift ourselves up, do not fear."
