Station master confident no staff will be lost at Yeppoon w By RHETT WATSON STATION MAS I ER Rod Maher is confident Yeppoon Railway Station will retain its present staff after results of a State Government review, now under way, are known.

"Although we have had no official reply as yet, I am confident the staff will remain the same and that there will be no line closure," Mr Maher said.

Member for Peak Down Vince Lester said. this week Yeppoon Railway Station lost a man to the Gladstone Railway Station six months ago and he was not replaced.

The station has been involved in controversy for the past fewyears. In the lead up to the December, 1989, State election, then ALP candidate for Broadsound (and now Member) Jim Pearce said: "The present government (National Party) will continue with its policy of closing branch lines after the election, and that includes Yeppoon.

"Of course Mr Hinton (then Member) will deny it ... just like he stated the decision not to introduce daylight saving was rock solid and would not be compromised."

Mr Pearce said then an important part of his plan for Broadsound was transport. He had hopes of a road link with the Bruce Highway in the north.

"I want to see the Railway service maintained. I want to see a passenger service reintroduced, linking the new electric passenger service from Brisbane to Yeppoon," he said.

"I want to see the current railway station developed into a multi-purpose transit centre with facilities where inter-city coaches can deliver passengers. This will happen when we have the road link with the north."

Since the Labor Party came to power after the election, allegations have been made of the railway station eventually being closed. The latest are from National Party Member for Peak Downs Vince Lester.

"I am concerned there is a hidden agenda with the door-to-door delivery of goods unloaded off the rail in Rockhampton and delivered to Yeppoon business houses, totally bypassing the local railway station," Mr Lester said in November last year.

This week, in a press release, Mr Lester said: "I understand that currently their staffing levels will remain as is. However there is to be a further review in some six months."

No seconder for motion to have council meet at night

• ABOVE: Transport Minister David Hamill and Memberfor Broadsound JimPearce were pictured in front of the Yeppoon Railway Station in March, 1991. At that time, Mr Hamill reiterated his government's promise not to remove Yeppoon's railway service.

"Bit by bit they ( the government) are grinding away at the stability of the Rockhampton/ Yeppoon line and we need assurances now that this rot will stop," Mr Lester said.

Transport Minister David Hamill visited Yeppoon in March last year and reiterated his government's promise "not to remove Yeppoon's railway service".

This week Mr Hamill said there was to be a review of staff numbers at Queensland's small railway stations ... including Yeppoon's.

Member for Broadsound Jim Pearce said on Wednesday, when contacted by the Capricorn Coast Mirror, this was the first he had heard about any review of the staff numbers at the Yeppoon Railway Station.

"I can't comment on anything I haven't been briefed on but I am flying to Brisbane tomorrow (Thursday) and will talk to the Transport Minister (David Hamill)," he said.

Clean up for Tidy Town judging CLEAN up your yards ... Tidy Town judges will be in the area within the next four weeks.

Livingstone Shire chairman Cr Barbara Wildin said council was endeavouring to ensure that the area's streets and parks were tidy.

"We have had some warning this time, so armed with this knowledge, I encourage everyone to attempt to keep their properties tidy," Cr Wildin said.

"It is difficult at this time of the year to keep up with the mowing, but, if we all tried at the same time, maybe we could receive a commendation from Tidy Towns."

A MOTION to hold Livingstone Shire Council meetings at night lapsed through want of a seconder at the January meeting.

Cr Kim Shields moved a motion at Tuesday's meeting that perhaps future meetings could be held in the evening so that ratepayers would be able to attend.

Chairman Cr Barbara Wildin asked for a seconder but it lapsed because none of the other 11 councillors offered to second it.

Some of the councillors - amid laughter said "you must be joking, why would we want to have them at night?".

"I thought you would have been interested in having our meetings changed to nights, as you work," Cr Shields said to Cr Lloyd Webber who was also laughing.

"I like our meetings as they are. This is my rest period from work," Cr Webber said.

Cr Wildin was the only councillor to say Cr Shields' idea was interesting and that it should be looked into.

On Wednesday night Cr Shields said he would rather have the meetings start at 4pm on Tuesdays, continuing through to 10.30pm.

"I thought the latest the meeting should go to would be 10.30pm, to allowworking ratepayers to attend as observers of the collective processes in decision-making by their elected representatives," he said.

"I believe the need for detailed open debates in all forums of government is increasing each year. Making council meetings more accessible partly fulfills our obligation to that need.

"I further believe those councillors with an interest in their constituents should have no problem in organising council meetings to meet public interest and convenience," he said.

Better to collect goods from rail station than have door-to-door delivery YEPPOON District Co-operative manager Graeme Bulley said this week that it was easier to collect goods from Yeppoon Railway Station rather than having them delivered doorto-door by Q-Link.

"It is much better for us to collect our goods when we can fit it in with our work day and not when Q-Link want us to collect them," Mr Bulley said.

"I believe the railway station is an asset to the town."

"I am absolutely dead against having goods delivered door-to-door," Mr Fuller said.

"I have three reasons for having them delivered by the Yeppoon Railway station.

"One is that any accounting problems can be easily sorted out with the staff on hand at the railway station rather than over the phone to

"The second is that it is much cheaper and easier for me to eitherwalk or drive over to the station and pick up my goods myself rather than having to deal with delivery people when I have customers.

"The third is that I don't want to see the railway line closed because it is an asset to the town and the more I have parcels delivered through them the more chances there are of keeping the station open and keeping some

people in a job.

"If more business houses collected their goods from the Yeppoon Railway Station instead of having them delivered from Rockhampton Railway Station we would have a better chance of keeping our station at it's present status or even having it upgraded," he said.

Lester calls for categoric assurance on rail station MEMBER for Peak Downs and Keppel candidate Vince Lester has again called upon Transport Minister David Hamill to give a categoric assurance that Yeppoon Railway Station will not be further downgraded.

Mr Lester's call follows an admission by Mr Hamill that both Yeppoon and Lakes Creek Railway Stations were being reviewed.

Mr Lester said he understood that currently their staffing levels would remain as is.

"However there is to be a further review in some six months," he said.

The station had already lost a porter "and, in fact, this is going to leave the present staff hard-pressed to keep up with the work when the pineapple season reaches its peak shortly.

"This means relief could have to be brought in from Rockhampton further destabilising the locally based work content at Yeppoon Railway Station."

Mr Lester said the area had seen in recent times the truck freight service brought in from Rockhampton whereby the railway station was literally bypassed.

"Goods are delivered by truck from Rockhampton and correspondence on invoices and other documents gives a Rockhampton number to ring," he said.

"This has the effect of training people to deal directly with Rockhampton."

Mr Lester said it was worrying that Lakes Creek was being reviewed because even though there was the Nerimbera Quarry and two major meatworks, the Railway Department was looking at having 'roving' station masters in some areas.

They would do a certain time each day at several stations, using a car to commute.

"This, taken to the worst scenario, could ultimately mean the closure of Lakes Creek Railway Station and using 'roving' station masters from Rockhampton when there is a need.

"If this were to happen, it would be a precedent which could severely affect Yeppoon Railway Station and, in time, could mean the closure of the station altogether."

He said the truck pick-up service could be

extended to include pineapples.

"Already, cats, dogs and other animali cannot be transported on the road service to Yeppoon from Rockhampton," he said.

"Bit by bit they (the State Government) are grinding away at the stability of the Rockhampton/Yeppoon line and we need assurances now that this rot will stop.

"The Railway line is traditionally for Yeppoon as are railway basic services. We must fight to keep them."

"What is more worrying is that there is now a Railway Commission set up which distances itself from the Minister and doesn't seem to possess a lot of feeling towards the needs of people outside Brisbane."

Rail rumours around for years • CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 officially heard about the review of the staff numbers at the Yeppoon Railway Station on Wednesday.

"There have been rumours around for years that the Yeppoon Railway Station would eventually close but with the amount of time that has been involved with improving the rail service I can't see this happening and tend to believe the assurances given to us by the relevant railway staff," he said.

"They now have one scheduled train a week with other trains available as required on a quota basis.

"When the pineapple season gears up more trains will be available.

"This is the best it has been in years.

"Thursday's train is an express and this fruit is processed at the Golden Circle Cannery the followina day. This has never happened before," Mr p Vaughan said.

"We are very happy with the service the railway station is providing and are pleased they are trying to improve the system even more."

THE post-Fitzgerald clean-up in Queensland is more thorough than anything that has ever occurred in any other State.

The number convicted as a result of this inquiry exceeds the total convicted from all the court cases resulting from all the inquiries from any Royal Commission in the whole of Australian history.

Under Wayne Goss, Ministers are no longer a law unto themselves. They have a clear code of ethics to guide their actions. They have to strictly account for their expenses and their personal spending has been cut by two-thirds.

75th anniversary for Sacred Heart on January 29 SACRED HEART School's 75th anniversarywill be celebrated on January 29. It was the first Catholic primary school in Yeppoon.

The school was originally called St Ursula's and was based at the present college. In 1958, Sacred Heart moved from the St Ursula's site into the John Street building to accommodate the area's growing younger population.

Last year, the school moved to Lammermoor Beach to accommodate even more students and it is already expanding.

Sacred Heart's new school will be extended with a new building containing two classrooms and an administration block. They will be opened later this year.

The number of students enrolling at the school has already passed 270 so vacancies are now at a premium.

In 1918, St Ursula's became the first Catholic Secondary school in Yeppoon and will celebrate its 75th anniversary next year.

Time running out for unfenced pools TIME IS running out if you have a private swimming pool without a child-proof fence.

You must fence it properly by April 1 - or face a fine up to $5000.

Queensland's new Swimming Pools Act provides for the fine - plus $480 daily for every day your pool remains unfenced after April 1.

Livingstone Shire Council decided at its December meeting to help local pool owners make sure they're covered under state law, by introducing a $25 pool fencing inspection service.

Council staff told the meeting it was up to pool owners, not the government or the council, to make sure existing pool fences with selfclosing, self-locking gates and all other safety precautions are legal.

Owners wanting an inspection must apply in writing to the council, and the council will tell them in writing if the fence is legal or what changes must be made.

The council says it is not required to inspect all pool fencing in the shire - only the fencing for which there's been a written request from the owner.

Council staff recommended a $50 inspection fee but Cr Glenda Mather moved successfully for a reduction to $25.

Council building inspector John Milne says more than 90 percent of the shire's estimated 400 private swimming pools are already fenced.

Health surveyor lick Thcssman says the majority of pool owners among the shire's 18,000 people have achieved "a high level of compliance" because the shire has had pool fencing requirements since 1979.

Mr Thcssman said pool fencing was not a major local problem, although it was possible there were some illegal pools built without council building approval - especially on remote properties.

But if these properties were sold, the illegal pool would be "picked up" in a rates search during the sale process - and then the law on pool fencing would take its course.

Mr Milne said there were requests for fencing exemptions, but he recommended the council adopt a firm policy that all pools be fenced on land containing a residence, or having council approval for a residence.

The council unanimously approved Mr Milne's recommendation.

Pool owners objecting to the council's latest ruling can appeal to the building advisory committee and have their objection heard by a referee appointed under the Queensland Building Act. The council was told that if the State Government upheld appeals against the Livingstone Shire ruling, the responsibility would rest entirely with the government.

If you're a pool owner with just over three months left to fence your pool, the council (39 3388) will advise you - or you can ring 008 801 201 to be referred to the Department of Local Government and Housing for technical information or to ask for a specialist booklet on pool fencing.

Lib. not impressed at police promise LIBERAL Party Candidate for Keppel Cr Kim Shields said he was not impressed with the Labor Party and Member for Broadsound Jim Pearce's excuses for failing to fulfill election promises.

Cr Shields said he was referring specifically to the failure to provide a 24-hour police operation on the Capricorn Coast.

"Mr Pearce's comments of "hoping Yeppoon would be considered for more police staff' is not satisfactory and I doubt that under Labor any amount of serious work will achieve the desired result of a 24-hour manned police station," Cr Shields said.

"How many times have locals and visitors tried to contact police at the station only to find it is not a continually manned station and are referred through to Rockhampton?

"Our police do a terrific job in the community and within the constraints of funding for the local station. But, for how long should Capricorn Coast residents be treated as second rate citizens with an under-funded local police force.

"If I am elected, the provision of a 24-hour manned police station will be one of my definite priorities for the Capricorn Coast and without consideration of excuses for anything less as has happened under Labor."

Plastic tops litter survey THE results of a National Litter Survey held late last year has revealed that 94 per cent of the items found on beaches, waterways, parklands and roadsides were packaging or packaging related.

Of the 12 most common types of rubbish found, plastic items comprising confectionery and food bags, supermarket bags, wrapping, containers, six-pack holders, bait bags, bottles, polystyrene and straws topped the count with 45.2 per cent of the total number of items collected.

Clean-Up Australia Day is to held on Sunday, March 1 and is "again sponsored by Yeppoon Rotary Club.

"We are hoping some office space could be donated to us from the middle of February to March 1 to allow people to register for the clean up," Capricorn Coast Clean-Up Australia Day co-ordinator Terry Hayes said on Wednesday. "We are looking for volunteers to organise clean ups in their local area.

"People are still needed to join the adopt-abeach programme for Lammermoor Beach south, Kemp Beach, Statue Bay, Mulambin Beach, Ritamada/Haven Beach and Keppel Sands Beach.

"Each year Livingstone Shire Council garbage contractors JJ Richards and Sons collect the garbage free of charge, and they will do so again this year," he said.

WANT to teach swimming and water safety?

Aussie Sport and the Department of Education are conducting an Austswim Course on February 8 and 9 in Rockhampton.

The Austswim course is regarded as an essential pre-requisite to swimming teaching and a sound basis for the courses offered by other swimming organisations.

Austswim covers philosophy of swimming and water safety; principles of water safety and survival; teaching of strokes; emergency procedures and legal responsibilities; personal swimming and rescue skills; resuscitation.

Swimming has always played a prominent part in the lifestyle of Australians. This prominence has been displayed clearly by the high level of participation in aquatic recreational activities. Unfortunately, many accidents have resulted in injury and death to many Australians.

More information can be obtained by contacting Lyndal Hansen at the Department of Tourism Sport and Racing Office, QIDC House, 34 East Street, phone 31 9805, or from Kerrod Parsons, Regional Sports Officer, Department of Education, 31 9680. ***

CRAFT DAY TRIALS TO CONTINUE AFTER PUBLIC AIRING • By John Watson YEPPOON'S Normanby Street traders have put aside misgivings about craft stalls taking their business and decided to continue the trials on the first Saturday of each month.

But a public airing of concerns about craft stalls selling goods in opposition to established businesses has resulted in stringent guidelines that Craft Day organisers will enforce.

Capricorn Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Livingstone Shire Council, Craft Day organisers and Normanby Street traders sat down on Thursday night for an informal discussion following two craft days held on Saturday mornings.

The first craft day, held early in December, had been confined to the footpath between Hill and Mary Streets. There had been grumbles, and praise, but nothing more serious.

The second, in Normanby Street, between Hill Street and Anzac Parade, ran into trouble from the moment it started when various traders complained that craft stalls blocked their doorways and stopped shoppers from seeing stock they had available.

It came to a head when Kay and Dennis Murray of His 'n Hers phoned chamber of commerce secretary Suzy Watson to see what was going to be done to stop future days affecting sales.

The chamber, although not directly involved in organising the days, became the mediator. The chamber arranged for free use of Yeppoon Town Hall tea mom for the public meeting and "the great debate" was held on Thursday from 7.30pm until past 9.30pm.

Rather than have a formal meeting which would have restricted people on each side in what they wanted to say, a loose discussion was held with Mrs Watson chairing, mediating, umpiring and refereeing.

It was, at times, a heated meeting. Business people paying high rent, rates, wages, insurances and tax don't take kindly to people paying $5 for a stall who set up across their doorway and sell goods in direct oppostion.

The business people attending were Kay and Dennis Murray, Larry Tyrer (Fruit and Vegetables), Marie Savage (Yeppoon Shells and Gifts), Pat Myler (Capricorn Cnast Casuals) and Don Fee (Yeppoon News).

Council representatives were chairman Cr Barbara Wildin, deputy chairman Cr Key Hinz, Cr John Dowie and (later) Cr Hubert Murray.

Craft day organisers attending were Dusan Cech,

Dale Childs and Mike Walter.

Attemping to set the mood for the night, Mrs Childs said there had to be some way of organising the Craft Days so that they were of benefit to traders.

That was the original idea behind the days. Craft Days were designed to put some colour into the shopping centre and bring shoppers back to the main street None of the organisers are making any money front the days and any money raised was to be used to further promote the shopping centre.

Rules had been laid down at the start following visits to all shopkeepers earlier last year to determine the support Mrs Watson questioned the organisers and was told that shops were not told who was going to operate a stall in front of them, nor what goods would be sold.

That became one of the bones of contention.

Mr Murray said hand-painted scarves had been sold near His 'n Hers, as had scented oils and T-shirts ... all lines available in his shop.

Marie Savage complained of shells that were sold in the street in direct opposition to her own shell shop.

She said trading figures were down on the day.

The figures on the day before (Friday) and after (Sunday) were better than the Saturday, a day which would normally be one of the best in the week.

She relied heavily on Saturday takings to make ends meet.

Mr Murray had made a similar point He said his shop's figures were down on the Saturday. In fact, he said His 'n Hers took more money on the following Monday than it did on the Saturday.

But Don Fee countered these claims saying his shop had enjoyed top trading. Trading had been up

$2000.

"We had only one girl rostered on that day and when I saw the crowds building I thought 'why didn't we put on another'?" he said.

"She was swamped. Trading was beyond all trading done before."

Mr Murray interjected that no-one was selling goods in opposition to the newsagency. He later made the point that Mr Fee would not like it if people were walking up and down in front of his shop selling Scratch-its.

That was how the informal meeting ran. Everyone had their say when they wanted to so no points were held back by being gagged.

Cr Wildin had listened while Mr Murray had shouted that he had to find $1000 a week before taking a cent because of rent, rates, wages, insurances and other costs.

"Then I find I've got a stall out front subsidised by the council," he said.

"Who pays the footpath insurance? I pay exhorbitant rent and rates in this shire."

Cr Wildin answered these remarks by saying when first approached by Craft Day organisers she had told them the council did not want to be involved.

"I wanted the business community to come up with something itself," she said.

"We gave pocket money of $200 to start the days and we said the organisers must consult with the business people in town."

Cr Wildin said she had wanted the days sorted out between the organisers and the business people without reference to council.

One of the problems today was that people were over-regulated by government.

"I would like to see people accept some responsibility themselves; to regulate themselves."

She said if the people did not like the idea of Craft Days they could speak to the committee and have them stopped ... "but don't ask us. Don't involve us.

Please sort this out for yourself."

She said the council could stop it and would if it had to ... but it would be preferable for the business community to settle its own problems.

In response, Mr Murray said he accepted that and he accepted that stall holders had a right to sell their goods.

"They can go to one of the empty shops in town or to the flea market," he said.

Interjecting, Mr Cech said the initial focus had been to promote the shopping centre; to provide something that Yeppoon did not have.

Mr Murray said His 'n Hers would survive opposition from street stalls but others would close.

Mr Cech said the idea was "to work with you".

One of the problems for organisers had been that he had originally talked to shopkeepers in April but it took until December to get the days going.

The days had started on a trial basis.

Mr Murray: "It's just not working".

Mrs Watson: "Do you think Craft Days are a good idea?"

Mr Murray: "In the right place, yes. Not in the main street ripping off the cream."

He asked why the days could not be held on a Monday instead of the peak trading day.

Mrs Childs said she was hoping to make Yeppoon

a cultural centre.

Mrs Watson: "Why not hold them on a Monday or a Tuesday?"

Mr Murray: "Yes. Why not Monday or Tuesday?"

Mr Cech said he had been told Wednesday was the deadest day of the week when he had walked the town... but everyone said hold the day on a Saturday.

Mike Walter said when he started with the steering committee Wednesday had been the day under discussion.

Cr John Dowie said anyone who "looks down the main street tonight" could see "we are not holding the people".

"What is your solution to the problem? Have you a solution or are you part of the problem?"

Mr Murray said his business would survive because "we are often open at 7.30am and are still open at 8 o'clock at night".

"We are working a 12-hour day and trying to make a living," he said.

The arts and crafts people had second jobs. If they wanted to sell their goods let them open seven days a week... "let's put some decen t charges on them, not $2.50 an hour".

Mrs Childs, referring to her own business, the Mill Gallery in Anzac Parade, said: "It's not so easy around the corner."

Mr Murray: "You have the choice of shops in the main street."

Larry Tyrer said he did not have a stall in front of his shop and trading had not been affected.

Mr Murray: "How would it affect you six months down the track if they're selling frui t in front of you?"

The discussion then turned to various products beeing offered on stalls. Jams, scented oils, pots and plants became the focus.

Mr Cech said a woman selling pots had used plants for display purposes and had been happy to give away the plants with the pots.

Mr Murray asked what would happen to the two plant nurseries in town if this continued.

Cr Hinz said he thought the Craft Days were a good idea. He had visited the Coast for a night out and found he couldn't get a hamburger at 7.30pm on a Saturday. The shops were closed.

"I think we need people to come here. Why not get in and help instead of criticising."

Mrs Savage said she worked seven days and had a family. "I don't have time to come to meetings," she said.

Other ideas were considered. Cr Wildin asked whether the council should make available the beachfront for the stalls. Mr Murray suggested the car park next door to Bonkers Night Club.

The hours of operation were also considered a problem. Peak trading times were between 10am and 2pm and that was when the stalls operated.

Don Fee brought the discussion back to specifics.

He said any problems appeared to be purely technical.

Stalls were too close to doorways; or started too early; or they were selling something available in a shop in town which was a severe problem.

When Mr M urray interjected that having something sold in opposition was not a technical problem, Mr Fee said: "Don't argue, listen to what I say."

He then suggested it may be possible to police the stalls rather than close them down.

Mrs Childs, responding to the idea that she should

police the stalls as well as organise who could trade and take their fees, said: "All the phone bills and Ilan' work are mine!"

There were more arguments. It was claimed the stall owners parked their cars in front of the shops all day, stopping other shoppers and that stall blocked the path stopping shoppers from getting to regular businesses.

Cr Dowie stopped this by saying there were two groups in town, both trying to promote business.

"The moment one makes a move the other draws swords on them."

He said there were not enough people in town considering it was only the second week of January and the holiday season was still in full swing.

Mr Murray replied that it was the end of the holidays and there was a cyclone down the coast . When they continued arguing, Mrs Watson stopped them by telling them to "shut up John and Dennis or you can both go outside".

There was more but that remark, plus one other, sorted out the discussion.

After talks had continued for a while, Mr Cech started to go over the same ground again when Mrs Watson stopped him.

She then sorted out a committee of traders who would be invited to police stalls before they started operations on a Saturday afternoon.

It had been found that some stalls told Mrs Childs what they would be selling then offered different goods on the day ... this was what would be policed.

Also, genuine crafts were to be encouraged but goods bought from wholesalers were absolutely banned.

The meeting was an example of people talking out their problems without being confined by the rule,. and regulations of a regular meeting.

Everyone had their say, although not everyone got the result they wanted. Some traders don't want the days to continue and the decision to go ahead was not what they wanted.

But other traders found the days did boost takings ... and increased crowds surely show at least some of the public is interested.

The long-term aim is to create a craft market that acts as a draw-card to the business centre.

If stalls sell goods of a commercial nature they will wipe themselves out because traders, in a recession, are in no mood to allow opposition to take the best sites in town then sell the same goods that shops offer.

The problem is that there will never be 100 per cent acceptance.

Cr Hinz said he enjoyed a visit to Kuranda because the stalls there provided a great atmosphere. Others listening thought Kuranda was absolutely the last gasp.

"Who wants to live in a place like Kuranda?" was the under-the-breath remark heard by others sitting nearby.

That's the old pro and anti tourism argument ... and nothing is going to settle that to everyone's satisfaction!

The Craft Days will continue for a further trial period. The next is on Saturday, February 1, between 10am and 2pm, along James Street, between Mary and Arthur Streets.

Other councils contribute to costs CORRESPONDENTS Howarth and Spyve in last week's Mirror are of the opinion that Livingstone Shire Council should not contribute to the running costs of the information centre as the tourist industry is already "over pampered".

It may not be common knowledge that the LSC spends about $35,000 to $40,000 on tourism promotion each year.

Accordingly, when one considers the excellent job the information centre is performing, surely some of the LSC spending allocation could be directed to the running costs of the centre.

It is common practice these days for councils to assist their local tourism bodies. For example, Gladstone City Council pays a grant of $75,000 to their tourist body; Rockhampton City Council is currently talking $150,000. The latter body also pays the wages of two staff at the Mall Information Centre. The CTDO regional body also receives $100,000 per annum from the State Government.

The CCTO strongly believes in the user pay system and our members do play their part. One must remember that the CCTO built the centre.

It was not put there by the LSC. Moreover, we even have to pay rates to council for the centre which stands on 'Reserve' land.

Accordingly, it is difficult to sit back and witness the support given by other councils to their tourist bodies when we receive next to nothing.

In closing, tourism is Australia's number one industry and it is the industry which will get Australia back on its feet and provide employment for our youth.

Maybe a little bit of "pampering" will provide some more jobs in Yeppoon and the Coast.

- Brian Hooper, Chairman CCTO.

The dog issue is spot on as outlined by J Muir of the Causeway Lake. Where are all these insidious regulations taking us. All on the whim of a few.

For once Member for Capricomia Keith Wright seems to have it right on a issue. I just hope the youth of to-day remembers the hard line banks are taking on their parents and act accordingly in the future by not supporting them, or if they do, only under their terms.

Stick with what you are good at Vince walking backwards. Can't see you getting it • right after all this time.

Top marks to Shirley Perkins' letter about the Mirror. Spot on. Nothing like the media hype we had on Cyclone Betsy which had most people believing it was just over the back of Keppel Island.

Good on yer `baldy' for keeping our local paper, pictures of locals and visitors, who can then send off a copy to their friends and say 'hey, look at me'. It sure has worked.

We are all individuals and like just a little bit of recognition for being here.

Now back to the Back of the Mirror, I'm working on a loan from a junior reporter!.

So the ALP branch has its meetings at Something Fishy and Lots of Bull Restaurant. So what's new?

- Bobby Scott

PEOPLE POWER EXAMPLE A SPLENDID splendid example of self help and people power was evident by the people of Emu Park overcoming their quarry problems.

Now is the opportunity for Emu Park, Yeppoon and the electorate of Keppel to use people power to endeavour to convince politicians of their chosen party to introduce Citizens Initiated Referendum as part of their party policy and so give the people control of their future.

If your party won't introduce CIR then vote for a party that will.

'A time to speak' - Eccles 3:7

Truly annoyed about $1 complaint TO E and P Miller from Barcaldine: I was truly annoyed to see your complaint about the SI spectator fee at the Cooee Bay Pool. How anyone could find S1 expensive when their child can use the pool from 6am to 6pm is beyond me.

Haven't you even the faintest idea of the cost of running such a complex? Obviously not.

Just ask someone with a backyard pool how much they spend maintaining that!

My six children and .I regularly use the Cooee Bay Pool and are all very grateful to have such a well kept facility available to us.

If I had been you. I would have paid the mere 20c extra each and enjoyed a relaxing swim with your daughter. Try it some time.

- J Vandalize, Yeppoon.

'A TIME to speak' - (Eccles 3:7). With reference to the article titled 'New church group holds first meeting', Mirror 10/1/92 - 16/1/92, describing the formation of a new church group called Queensland Churches together - Capricorn Coast, I would like to ask the clergy representatives of the Anglican, Uniting and Lutheran Churches whether there was, or will be, any likely consultation with their respective congregations concerning their momentous decision to "merge" with the Roman Catholic Church?

From a commercial viewpoint, one would imagine that as 'Chairmen of the Board' considering a merger, a thorough investigation of the credentials and balance sheet of the 'New Company' would be in order and that any past

Laugh and a smile make day for reader I HAVE told the baldy headed bloke before, the only part of his newspaper I read first is the Back of the Mirror. It is the humour I treasure most in this world and a laugh and smile makes my day.

However, the tourist pressure is off for a while and for once I have had the pleasure of reading the rest of the Mirror.

Depressed to read where the ambulance can only get publicity in sensationalism in no stingers on the Coast. But don't rush into the water as you may be the next victim! Wow! You might be the next shark victim too, so you had better keep out of the water and don't visit our beautiful beaches.

Smiled at Const Tony Jacob of Emu Park with a smile on his face ... missing the blue light of his police car. Good on you Tony, as I'm sure no serious harm can come of it. A prank, I'm sure.

Two parents wanted free entry to the Cooee Bay Pool so they could 'supervise' their 70 cents entry for son. Kicked about the one lousy dollar each they would have had to pay, so pulled their son and went down to the surf. Good, I'm glad they did that. Probably tried to get an airline flight the same way.

'HE EDITOR • LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • errors or misdemeanours perpetrated by such 'New Company' would be fully investigated and c o; made known to the 'Shareholders'.

It would seem, however, that no such investigation has taken place or if it has, it has been swept under the carpet in an all out effort to cover-up for the past errors of the 'New Company'.

From a spiritual viewpoint, it should be pointed out to the unsuspecting members of the congregations of these three church groups, (the 'chairmen' would already have this knowledge) that the Anglican Church creed (ART 80) of 1615, the Presbyterian Confession (chap 25, para 6), the Sinoy declaration of the Congregational Church (chap 26, para 4), the Methodist Church (notes of John Wesley on 2 Thess 2:3) and the Lutheran Church (testimony of Martin Luther), all unilaterally confirmed scripturally that the Pope of Rome was anti-christ, 'that man of sin' (2 Thess 2:3).

The Roman Church hates protestantism and this hatred is clearly documented in its edicts of its Council of Trent of 1541 and re-affirmed more recently by Vatican II and for more than 400 years has endeavoured to subvert and destroy the work of the protestant reformation and the glorious enlightenment by God's grace given to mankind, by mounting a counter-reformation attack led by the Jesuits.

By controlling and manipulating the massmedia, all evidence of past crimes and errors have been expunged or hidden so that the 'New Company' is able to present to the 'chairmen' a clean balance sheet so to speak.

No doubt the 'chairmen' will point put to the 'shareholders' that these events took place a long time ago and that "we must put these things behind us".

But the writer wonders whether they will be made aware of such recent events as the Vatican/ Nazi Germany/Fascist Italy/Imperial Japan Concordats or alliances of World War II, the shocking atrocities and forced conversions to Roman Catholicism committed by Croatian Roman Catholics led by Roman Catholic clergy against the peoples of the Serbian Orthodox Christian faith in Yugoslavia during World War II, the vatican inspired so-called cold war against communism which took the world to the brink of an all-out nuclear war during the post war years of the great vatican communist witch hunt including its instigation of the Vietnam war with all its tragedy and the shocking and senseless murders committed by the Roman Catholic IRA in a futile attempt to destroy and subdue the last bastion of true reformation protestantism left in the world today in Ulster.

It is only when the 'shareholders' have been given a full and truthful account of the credentials and spiritual balance sheet of this 'new company' by the 'chairmen of the board', despite their frantic attempts to join the 'queue of doom' to 'lick the feet of popery' that such a merger should even be considered.

See some good in daylight saving MR PEARCE, you seemed a very sensible man when I voted for you in the last election, but I am afraid you have disappointed me.

Why are you so set against daylight saving?

Are you afraid of losing the votes of the people who dislike all change? I have the feeling that they would not vote for you in any case.

My husband and I love daylight saving and so do many of the people I know. Of course, it is hot here in the summer; we live in the tropics.

It is hot in the morning; it is hot at lunchtime, it is hot in the afternoon and it is hot in the evening and very often at night as well. Daylight saving does not alter the temperature.

I love sitting on the verandah after our evening meal, usually eaten at 7 o'clock, watching the beautiful sunsets we get in this part of the world. And it is nice to drive home in daylight after an outing or a visit to friends.

Also, I am sure the tourists like the longer evenings, after all, they have had daylight saving for years on Heron Island, where they run a very successful tourist enterprise.

As for the objection of children not wanting to go to bed, all that shows me is that their parents have no control over their children.

Children manage to go to sleep in Europe, where it stays light until after 10 o'clock during summer.

You will perhaps tell me that the farmers don't like daylight saving. I can well believe that. Farmers are the most conservative people in the world. They made a lot of fuss in England when daylight saving was introduced, but they got used to it. In any case, I do not think there are too many farmers living in Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Mackay, Townsville and even Cairns.

Please do not take it for granted that everyone up here will say no in the referendum. Try to see some good in daylight saving, instead of condemning it out of hand.

MARLBOROUGH LAND CARE MEMBERS AT OPEN DAY VETIVER grass and a pasture seeder were shown to about 30 Marlborough Land Care ‘ ipp, members at an open day in December.

Vetiver, an introduced species currently being trialled in southern Queensland, will be planted on a Marlborough district cattle property from early this year as a soil erosion control project.

Queensland Department of Primary Industries land conservation officer Kerrie White gave Marlborough Land Care Group members an insight into the value of using Vetiver grass in erosion-prone situations such as gullies, dam by-wash areas and salt-scalded land.

The December 19 field day, which drew 30 group members, was hosted by Marlborough cattleman and Marlborough Land Care chairman Ted Smith of Strathmuir.

Miss White said Vetiver grass field trials would be closely monitored to give QDPI researchers and landholders every assurance that this introduced grass does not have the potential to become a weed.

"It is a 2m tall, rank grass that has been used for centuries in India, planted on hillside slope cultivation contour lines to control run-off and retain silt," she said.

"We know that Vetiver does not set viable seed, it has to be hand planted and does not tend to spread. It is also reputed to be fire, drought and flood tolerant. It can also withstand some salinity and is not very palatable to stock other than when immature."

When enough root stock was propagated, a trial area would be planted on an eroded dam bywash at S trathmuir where its performance would be closely monitored by QDPI Land Conservation and agronomy research staff.

Land Care Group members also lined up to use the group's newly acquired Crocodile pasture seeder which will enable landholders to rejuvenate native pastures and boost livestock

production.

Capella-based designer/manufacturer of the Crocodile, Dudley Donovan of Donovan Shovels Pty Ltd, was on hand to explain the operation of the offset dual roller drum seeder.

Purchase of the $7000 unit was jointly funded by the National Soil Conservation Program and BP Oil represented at the field day by Sunstate Fuel Services' Mackay sales manager Dick Dwyer.

Each of the Crocodile's 2.4m long cylindrical rollers is fitted with angled steel spades across adjustable seed outlets. As the unit is towed across the ground, the spades scallop out a pocket of soil into which seed is dropped.

Cattleman Joe Olive of Granite Vale, Wumalgi, bought his heavy-duty Crocodile in November and has sown 140 ha of ponded pasture country to hymenachne seed and a further 100 ha of coastal forest country to scca stylo.

Mr Olive told the Land Care members that the Crocodile had done an excellent job. He emphasised cattlemen do not need to be farmers as it was easy to operate.

By using a piece of 10 gauge wire to set the opening on each outlet, seca seeding rate was close to the optimum 2.5 kgs/ha.

The machine had no hydraulics, left no open furrows on fragile, erosion-prone country and could be towed in any direction irrespective of the contour line. Weighing only one tonne, it required minimum tractor power and could cover 3.2 ha/hour economically. Because only 15 percent of the coil surface was disturbed, there was no loss of production.

Mr Smith said the unit would be leased out to financial members at $100/week with users restricted to a one week cycle during the peak summer planting period. The group would maintain a Crocodile log book and monitor follow up introduced pasture performance throughout the district.

• ABOVE: Discussing the future application of the Crocodile pasture seeder purchased by Marlborough Land Care Group through the joint $7000 National Soil Conservation Programme and BP Oil Funding grant at the December 19 field day were from left, Eddie Richardson, Neerim, Marlborough; Dudley Donovan, Donovan Shovels Pty Ltd, Capella, who designed and manufactured the seeder; Ken Murphy, QDPI Beef Cattle Husbandry officer; Andrew Rea and his father, Elwyn Rea of Eden Garry, Kunwarara.

• ABOVE: Yeppoon State High School's redclaw aquaculture project established two years ago, created strong interest among the educators attending theDecember 10-11 Land Care Education Workshop. Pictured from left were Yeppoon Land Care Group chairman Jack Cowie, QDPI Land Care education officer Melva Hobson of Brisbane and Yeppoon State High agricultural subject master Adrian Evans.

Yeppoon High host to 20 teachers SCHOOLS throughout Central Queensland will soon be able to utilise a communication network to incorporate Land Care education into the primary and secondary curriculum.

Yeppoon State High school was host to 20 teachers and community educators at a December 10 and 11 Land Care Education workshop.

Queensland Department of Primary Industries Land Care education officer Melva Hobson of Brisbane was on hand to guide the workshop.

"Land Care ethics were already well established across a wide cross selection of educational subjects including geography, the social sciences and agricultural courses," she said.

Yeppoon High School agricultural subjects coordinator Adrian Evans hosted the workshop where participants were able to focus on the school's progressive 8 ha farm. The school's agricultural course was launched in 1973 and Mr Evans has co-ordinated the course and farm development from 1976.

Recycling bins won't be eyesore LIVINGSTONE Shire chief health surveyor Rick Thessman said this week that recycling bins are to be located in Emu Park once council agrees on a site.

Cr Owens proposed the corner of Fountain and Hartley Streets as a suitable location because residentswould not have to travel too far.

Mr Thessman said council had decided to 'test' the site and his department would liaise with councillors to identify an alternative site.

"The bins are to be fenced and will be collected daily by the contractors, Coastal Recyclers," Mr Thessman said. "This will result in the recycling bins not being an eyesore but an asset.

"We hope a suitable site will also be found

in Yeppoon. It is important to choose a site that is in close proximity to the majority of the population. It is useless hiding recycling depots away from the population, because they won't be used.

"The recycling bins were taken away about two months ago from their site along the Farnborough Road as the Yeppoon recycling contractors were not properly maintaining the bins," he said.

"Future recycling depots will be correctly fenced and the material will be removed daily.

The contractors have already started a glass crushing plant at Emu Park and I feel that this augurs well for a good Coast recycling future.'

goals but it has been extremely rewarding. We now have a wide range of livestock which includes horses, cattle sheep, pigs, geese, ducks, hens and bees," Mr Evans said.

"There is also an established orchard with citrus, mangoes and tropical exotic fruit trees.

Two years ago we also installed tanks for aquacultural research to breed barramundi and red claw."

The school's agricultural farm had been able to appoint a full-time farm manager in 1987 - a reflection of its economic success.

"Many past students have gained their agricultural grounding in basic livestock and land management skills at Yeppoon High and subsequently entered into primary industry pursuits," he said.

Participants in the two-day Land Care Education Workshop finalised the programme by preparing a property plan of the 8ha Yeppoon farm to best manage water run-off and the livestock and tree cropping projects.

ARMED with cameras and posters, Queensland Department of Primary Industries horticulturists went to Sydney and Melbourne early this month but they will restrict their snapshots to trays of Central Queensland mangoes offered at the capital city wholesale markets.

QDPI Rockhampton-based horticulturist Nick Macleod, accompanied by Scott Ledger, a post harvesting and marketing specialist from Brisbane and Noel Ainsworth, a Mareeba district horticulturist.

Funded by Queensland Fruit and Vegetable Growers organisation under its Mango Quality Programme, the QDPI team will photograph individual grower's trays at the markets and make an assessment of fruit blemish and defects.

"We have placed strong emphasis on fruit harvesting and handling techniques in growers' packing sheds this year and this southern trip will enable us to look at the marketing outcome," Mr Macleod said.

"This season, there has been an abundance of class two blemished fruit being offered at the markets as 'specials' and this has tended to erode the value of the premium class one fruit."

Mr Mcleod said there would be little profitability in handling and packing class two fruit for $8/tray and growers would do better selling this fruit in bulk at 50 cents/kg direct to mango processors at Northgate, Mackay and Bowen.

"It was also obvious that retailers wanted ripe, yellow fruit which was immediately saleable. Wholesale marketers were not keen to handle green fruit which had to be held over for a week to ripen," he said.

Growers have been averaging $10/tray this season with premium lines selling to $14/tray.

Mr Macleod said the Federal Governmentbacked Australian Mango Export programme that targeted Middle East and South-East Asian markets was under pressure with competition from Brazil and Kenya. Through to late December, 30,000 trays of fruit had been exported from North Australia to the Middle East.

Mr Mcleod said that while the AME group coupled with its quality assurance program was performing well, fruit exporters operating under the free enterprise trade system were able to select mango lines directly off the market floor.

These operators had few overheads and were not subjected to stringent AME quality assurance requirements - a competitive marketing concern for the AME programme.

Quality the key SEVENTY-SIX Capricorn Coast and Rockhampton district mango growers attended a mango quality standard and packaging training programme where it was stressed that consistent quality was the key to maximising market returns and consumer confidence.

Incidences where poor quality North Queensland-produced mangoes were placed on the Brisbane markets drew criticism from within the industry and from the Queensland Department of Primary Industries standards branch officers.

DPI principal horticulturist Scott Lodger, whose expertise is in horticultural crop postharvesting and marketing, addressed the Yeppoon meeting.

Mr Ledger designed a full-size colour poster depicting a range of mango fruit defects. Utilising the poster as a guide, growers could readily identify fruit colour and degree of blemish to grace fruit into premium class one, class two or cannery processing standard.

A meeting was also held at Yarwun for Gladstone district growers.

With the Central Queensland mango harvest moving into full swing, regional packing sheds involved in the Australian Mango Exports Ltd programme have also conducted in-house quality assurance course.

Strong interest from past players ensures 1992 good year for union 1992 looks set to be a big year for rugby union on the Capricorn Coast.

A new and enthusiastic committee is working hard to ensure players have only to concentrate on playing their best rugby and enjoy the social events that go hand in hand with all union clubs.

A bonus for players and supporters this year has come in the form of having half the fixtures played on the club's home ground at Cooee Bay. A great deal of work has been done in the off-season with many metres of sand being laid to level the field; new goal posts have been erected and there is a much improved seating area for supporters comfort. Bar and barbecue facilities will operate as usual.

A recruitment advertisement in the NZ Rugby News publication drew strong response from NZ, Australia and Fiji. Several players are being considered to fill positions in the club with Hamish Smith from NZ the first to sign on.

New coaches have been appointed for each grade this year. Brad Flynn, who has an extensive playing and representative history in the game is to take on the task of shaping the first grade team into what organisers are confident will be a formidable XV. Brad's first grade playing history began in 1975 and continued until the end of last season.

Dennis Wilson has the responsibility of moulding the Under 19s into a committed and versatile combination. Dennis toured Australia in 1978 and '79 as a member of the NZ schoolboys side, has successfully completed a

coaching course in Brisbane and played first grade rugby in Rockhampton for several years prior to taking this position.

With 24 years playing experience Dennis has a solid background of knowledge to contribute.

A strong resurgence of interest from past players has ensured the club fielding a reserve grade team again this year, with a coach yet to be appointed.

Fitnesswill be a key component in the club's charge for the premiership in 1992. It is a proven fact that it is easier to teach fit players skills than it is to get skilled players fit.

Training started on Tuesday night with a beach run and continues each Tuesday and Thursday at 6pm. Various skill nights are planned including grid training, ball skills and aerobics.

Bonkers nightclub and AMH meatworks have been generous in supplying employment for the imported players and the Club Hotel provides a friendly atmosphere for Friday night raffles at 6pm.

Future plans for the club include a supporters tour to the Hong Kong Sevens in 1993 as part of our 10th anniversary celebrations.

A working bee starts at 8am at the club ground on February 1 and sign on is at 5pm at the Cooee Bay Squash courts. Barbecue, swimming and volleyball are planned for a social family evening.

Information on any aspect of the club can be obtained from president Andrew Farlow 39 3258, Brad Flynn 39 3542 or Dennis Wilson 39 3866.

St Brendan's gains good cricket experience in Brisbane tournament ST BRENDAN'S College cricketers went to Brisbane full of bright hopes. Due to unforeseen circumstances the tournament was reduced to 18 teams as Perth and Townsville withdrew. There arc five matches and then the finals day.

• Day one saw St Brendan's win its first match against Goulboum, thanks to a fine 79 by Damien Milner and excellent bowling by Russel Mahon of 4/31.

Thereafter the defeats brought a monotonous tale as SBC went down to St Columbians. D Milner 50 and Simon Ross 2/19, Matt O'Connell 4/42.

Canberra: Damien Milner 98 not out, Matt O'Connell 2/39; Nudgec: Michael Mott 28, Phillip

Jones 2/91 and Shomcliffe: Damien Milner 40 and Paul Brennan 37.

Much experience has been gained, for which SBC is grateful. The team has scored 610 runs for the loss of 48 wickets, while their various opposition teams scored 920 runs for the loss of 34 wickets. One cannot buy or coach experience.

Following the finals, the team returns to Central Queensland for a few days' rest before starting the new school year next week, new ideas and new friends being the winners for these young tourists.

SBC 1st X1 wish all teachers and students an excellent and successful 1992.

Kay Baker new member ANOTHER new member - Kay Baker - joined the Singing Ship Indoor Bowls Club on Saturday.

It didn't take long for Harry Wipple to get inform after the holiday break. Members were pleased to see Josie Gart back and playing well.

Club members were delighted to congratulate Billie and Jack Stevenson who celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary with family members.

Eva and George Hogan were also on the receiving end of congratulations for their 46th wedding anniversary. George confided that Eva was taking him out but he didn't know where.

George is a selector and maybe Eva felt he needed a little extra TLC. A selector's life is not always an easy one, as George, along with Beryl Wenck, Allan Arnold and Peter Eastwood will testify.

Beryl Wenck of Emu Park is home after enjoying Christmas and New Year at Kingscliffe with daughters Sue and Sid McKeown and boys and Yvonne and Bill Higgins.

Visitors and onlookers are welcome to the Singing Ship Tuesday and Saturday afternoons and Thursday nights.

Veteran golfers play YEPPOON Golf Club veterans and senior ladies stroke competition results for January 17.

A COAST bloke went to Sydney this week for his mother's cremation and, even on such a solemn ocasion, he found something that brought a smile to his face. The family was standing around, shifting from one foot to the other in the Sydney heat, waiting for another group of mourners to arrive for their family's funeral. The chap's name was written on the board and the time was set down for 2pm. At 2.05pm, starting to feel the effects of the heat, the Coast bloke's family moved into the shade of the chapel. The oldest son reasoned that everyone could move out into the sun once again when the other family arrived. Another 10 minutes passed then a hearse pulled up in front of the chapel catching everyone by surprise. Next thing the Coast bloke knew, a coffin was placed in the chapel. Hoping to beat a hasty retreat, he was stopped in his tracks by the driver who announced the name of the deceased ... and it was for his family. He explained that another was due any minute and there was a hasty conference of all concerned and it was decided to proceed with the service for the coffm that was already in place. About 50 minutes later, service over, the family streamed out into the sunshine ... and the first question asked was: "What happened to the

other bloke?" There was muffled laughter (which did seem inappropriate) when a voice replied: "Maybe he decided he just wasn't going to go!"

•• • SAME bloke reckons Australia owes a big debt of gratitude to the ill-fated Compass airline ... he had great service on all four flights to Sydney; the meals or snacks were first-rate; the hostesses had re-learned how to smile (after a previous trip he had complained to his travel agent that he would never fly again); the seats (economy) were comfortable and the ground staff bent over backward to help in any way. He was most impressed!

AT the Brisbane terminal he was talking to

a relative he hadn't seen in years who had come out to visit him. She met hirritEle came out of the chute from the Sydney flight and they settled in for a chat. Only minutes later his Rockhampton flight was called. Disappointed, he asked the bloke in charge of loading if he could be the last to board. The bloke said to chat away and he'd look after everything.

There were repeated calls for loading but the two got to talk for about 15 more minutes. He appreciated it so much he's vowed to fly with them again.

•• • LIVINGSTONE Shire Council can be a fascinating place ... especially when the councillors start explaining some of the more oddball jobs they perform. Cr John Smith told this month's meeting he had 45 dingo scalps ... although he reckoned a couple could have been Labradors or possibly Germal Shepherds.

After collective groans, he explained he was joking. (He's responsible for verifying the dingo scalp count which council has to look after.) He told the meeting that the bloke who had trapped the 45 had dried 43 of them and left two in a fairly raw state. He had returned home to find the 45 scalps underneath the house "and millions of blow-flies"!

Coast downed by Panthers/North JUDGING by the first innings performance, CapCoast third grade cricket side looked set to clinch its second out right victory for the season, or at least get first innings points. Panthers/ Norths combined had different ideas.

Coast out-scored its opposition in the first innings by 30 runs finishing all out for a comfortable 168. Ronald Mackie top scored with 47, which included five sixes and two fours.

Second top scorer was Michael Barsby with 34. Mackie was part of a 61 run partnership with captain Rick Williams and Barsby contributed in a 54 run partnership with Glen Ward.

Mackie also took bowling honours with four wickets for 36 runs off 18 overs. Glen Ward took two for 13 off 13 overs and Steve Fraser, two for seven off four overs.

At this point, Coast was in front and looked favourites for outright points. But for those who know the Coast boys, knew that that was just wishful thinking.

Coast's woeful second innings batting display made the opposition's opening bowlers look like candidates for test selection, with 10 wickets in less than an hour after 15 overs. Coast could only manage a dismal 27 runs.

The opposition needed 58 runs for victory and in just over half an hour after 12 overs, (with all wickets intact), Panthers/Norths combined clinched out right points from an embarrassed and bewildered CapCoast third grade.
