Fed. Govt giving $1.2m. to St Brendan's

ST BRENDAN'S College will be building a new dormitory worth $1.6 million to replace the existing Year 8 building.

Member for Capricornia Keith Wright said this week St Brendan's College would receive a special Federal Government grant of $1,237,000 as part of Prime Minister Paul Keating's One Nation initiative.

St Brendan's will have to find the other $400,0(X).

Principal Br Dan McMahon said this week the college was going to build a new Year 8 dormitory complex to replace the present one. It vill be converted into an infirmary.

The new building will house 92 students and incorporate a four bedroom unit for a house master and family with other units for single staff.

"It's quite a big project and will bring us up to scratch with the best. It is long overdue," Br Dan said.

"This is only stage one of at least a two-part project.

"We will be submitting another application next year for further grants."

Mr Wright said the grant was one of two such projects.

"In late 1991 I visited St Brendan's College to discuss the school's building needs," he said.

"At the request of the then principal Br Langan. a submission was prepared to the Federal Government seeking funding for a new dormitory and the upgrading of existing facilities.

"The issue was pursued this year with Br Dan and a special request was made to the Prime Minister during his visit to Rockhampton in July."

Mr Wright said he was pleased the college had received the grant because "there was a growing need to ensure the facilities there kept up with the high reputation of the college".

He said the funding would also give a further economic boost to the Capricorn Coast area and would create a number of jobs in the building industry.

24HR BREAKDOWN SERVICE & MECHANICAL REPAIRS

• By Rhett Watson SOMEONE said it with a fist instead of flowers at Tanby Roses late Wednesday night when the front window was punched in.

The blow caused damage worth about $700 and part-owner Paul McPyke spent about 30 minutes cleaning up.

About one hour later a 19 year-old man from Tungamull was arrested and charged with wilful and unlawful destruction.

Police said the man had only minor injuries.

The hole in the shop window was about 35cm in diameter with another hole much larger, probably a piece which fell out.

Tanby Roses part-owner Harry Holland received a call at his home in Bondoola from Pizza Pizzazz owner Mike McCallum at 8pm giving him the news.

Mr Holland phoned his son, Paul McPyke, who was first on the scene.

"It took me about 30 minutes to clean the mess," he said.

"The glass had broken into pieces of about six centimetres and spread within a three-metre radius of the window."

Police had already picked-up a suspect by the time Mr Holland arrived.

He and Mr Pyke then sat at the front waiting for glaziers from Yeppoon Glass to block-off the window.

Mr Holland said they were lucky police were on the scene so quickly and thanked them for their efforts.

COMPUTERS for Coast Kids looks set for a L—photo finish with five schools running neck-andneck for three of the four $2000 computer packages.

Yeppoon State Primary is just keeping its nose in front of Sacred Heart School for the outright prize. Byfield State School, Sacred Heart School, Farnborough State School and Emu Park State School are neck-and-neck for the two $2000 computer packages allocated for the two highest docket values per head of school population.

The fourth $2000 computer package will go into a draw from the remaining schools. Two television sets and a video recorder will go to the next two highest docket value per capita schools.

All remaining schools will receive a $350 computer software package.

"With the last full week of dockets still to be counted and verified, a final tally of $3 million worth of dockets is within reach," chamber president Don Fee said.

BAHA'U'LLAH

Who is this person who claimed in the 19th century to bring a new revelation from God? Baha'u'llah introduces the life and teachings of the prophetic figurewhose growing influence in the world is the most remarkable development of contemporary history. The pivot of Baha'u'llah's teachings is the principle of the oneness of humanity. His challenge is that the human race has been called by God to undertake a transformation of its moral, social and spiritual life. He has offered a system for a new world order based on that principle — a system that he claims holds the only hope for inducing a fundamental and lasting change in the condition of the world. Judge for yourself: Is this the spiritual solution to the world's moral and social problems?

COUNCIL REJECTS NEW FESTIVAL REQUEST Bonkers' owners miss out with second proposal LIVINGSTONE Shire Council has again rejected an application from Bonkers Nightclub for a New Year's Eve street festival.

A new application was before this week's special council meeting and Bonkers Nightclub part owner Robert Harris addressed councillors on the proposal.

He said he and other owner John Andrews felt they had submitted a "very very detailed proposal, particularly in the first instance".

"We believe the new proposal contains significant changes, primarily to answer the concerns of the business proprietors on the eastern side of Hill Street," Mr Harris said.

"In that the initial proposal was a closure of Hill Street from Sam Thursday to noon on New Year's Day, Friday.

"That has now been reduced significantly to between 6pm and 8am. We believe that it will have minimal, if no effect what-so-ever, on the businesses.

"As far as the residents of Queen Street are concerned I can assure council that they were all served with a notice.

"I have not had the benefit of looking at any of the written objections of the business proprieters in Hill Street," he said.

"We have also made an open offer to the proprietors in Hill Street if they are concerned

about the exteriors of their building then we are prepared, if they request us, to erect hessian screening.

"We believe that in this instance there is more security offered for the proprietors of the eastern side of Hill Street than in any other night of the year.

"We are in a confined, well lit, well managed area. There is a function going on that the Yeppoon Police obviously are very much aware of.

"There will be security staff on constant patrol throughout that area," he said.

"As far as the eastern side of Hill Street is concerned there are no darkened areas where people perhaps may get in and do some damage.

"Again, I reiterate, as far as those premises are concerned we are prepared to erect screening to protect the buildings.

"The other issues, such as noise, we believe we have addressed. We have made it quite clear that at lam on that night, (the music will stop) OK that may be seen as a late hour for some people but it is New Year's Eve after all.

"I believe we should be given the opportunity on this occasion to run this festival to show the council and the ratepayers of Yeppoon that it can be done and done properly," Mr Harris said.

"I certainly would not be personally involved if I thought it was going to result in a drunken orgy" ... which he said he knew a lot of people believed would happen.

Cr Fay Owens: "It certainly will happen".

Mr Harris: "I believe that it won't."

"I want to have council give us the opportunity to run this festival.

"We believe, and we know we are very much on trial here, but the whole concept, we believe, will have lasting and long-term effects for Yeppoon.

"We believe that it will be introducing significant numbers of people into the town on New Year's Eve which would not normally visit the place.

"I understand, even though I am not a longtime resident, that in previous years Yeppoon used to be a place where people from Rockhampton used to come up for New Year's Eve," he said.

"I don't want this proposal to be compared in any shape or form with the Emu Park festivities.

I have never personally been there. This will be a totally different ball game.

"As far as the petition is concerned it was a very formal arrangement.

"Some of you have probably seen it. It wre.., delivered to virtually all of the businesses in the main street, including the Savemore Centre.

"They weren't compelled to display or accept the petition but on our last count there were about 600 signatures in favour with 15 against," he said.

"Now OK, we are not trying to pretend that is anything but a general indication, but we believe the festival has general public support."

Cr Barbara Wildin: "I think that needs to be clarified then. Those signatures were obtained from business houses in Yeppoon?"

Mr Harris: "Yes. People visiting those business houses."

Cr Fay Owens: "Could I ask a questi on please?

Can you prove to me that everybody who signed that petition was over the age of 18?"

Mr Harris: "No." Cr Owens: "That's all I want to know."

Mr Harris: "I think in all fairness we should be given the opportunity to run this festival. I believe that the proposal is as comprehensive as we could possibly make it. We have covered all avenues.

"There certainly are some spin-offs for people in the town with a significant number of people employed on a casual basis over that period with both the preparation, the running and the clean-up period."

Mr Harris said social and sporting clubs, as well, would benefit "boy scouts, sporting clubs etc".

"I believe that on balance council shoults) resolve to give us an opportunity to run it." s/ He said he would answer any questions. The details had been provided to councillors in the second proposal.

"I urge them, if they haven't already done so, to read the proposal in detail. I have some reservations that there may have been some misunderstandings on the previous proposal," Mr Harris said.

"If councillors have any specific questions we are here to answer them."

Mr Harris and Mr Andrews then answered questions from councillors on subjects such as noise, hired security, parking problems, a complaint from another licensed premises saying it would lose business from the road closure, the road closures, problems with under-age drinkers and more details about the festivities.

Some councillors were concerned about what would happen to the patrons after the entertainment finished at lam.

Cr John Dowie asked if people would remain in the enclosure between lam and Sam or would "people flood out willy-nilly".

Mr Harris said people dispersed rapidly after the entertainment finished but gave no guarantee somebody wouldn't "kick a door in".

"We will have security in the carpark but what people do once they leave the enclosure is beyond our control," he said.

He suggested people might enter the hotels and nightclubs after the festivities because most would probably have a 5am licence.

There were seven people in the gallery during the special meeting: proprieters of Bonkers Robert Harris and John Andrews; Raymond Terrace resident Terrence Fitzgerald-Hood who asked to speak against the proposal; a resident from Quee Street; Drs John Lloyd and Julian Gregory froffPv the Yeppoon Medical Centre in Hill Street; and John Barwick from the Yeppoon Laundrette in Hill Street.

Dr Lloyd told Mr Harris he needed access to his surgery in case of an emergency. He asked if an ambulance could access his building.

Mr Harris said they would provide access in an emergency.

Mr Fitzgerald-Hood asked Mr Harris what

ELECTROCARDIOGRAPH MACHINE NOW SO MUCH CLOSER pitals board gave (it cost about 52000) Yeppoon Hospital as a stop-gap until the auxiliary could raise enough money "for the real state-of-theart ECG machine we really want".

Sister Wust: "The machine we're after is pre-programmed, gives a diagnosis for each patient, prints out the result on A4 paper and, in today's technology, it's user-friendly.

"Visiting specialists used to using various types of ECG machines, depending on where they go, will be able to use ours without any trouble at all.

"We really started this fund-raising campaign more than a year ago thinking it would take us at least five years to raise 518,000.

"We contacted the local social and service clubs last year but they'd already established their fund-raising priorities and we had to wait until the middle of this year for their help.

But a lot of very good people have helped in many ways, making donations, raising money.

For instance, pensioners visiting the hospital regularly would give us something, sometimes S10, as a gesture, even though they probably couldn't afford to give anything.

"Yeppoon Bowls Club gave us nearly S3000 from special functions sponsored by hotels and breweries. Indoor bowlers gave us money; so did pensioners, all sorts of people.

"One of our auxiliary members, pensioner Eva Cook, held a luncheon for 25 at her home and raised more than $300 for the ECG." Sister Wust says the Yeppoon Community Market gave 51000 and men and women of Emu Park Bowls Club gave 5500.

A FIVE-YEAR campaign to raise 518,000 \/ to buy a top-line electrocardiograph machine for Yeppoon Hospital heart patients has become a huge success, with 72,7i. of the money. raised in the first year.

The ECG target money jumped on Tuesday from S6000 to more than 513,000 when the Yeppoon Lions and Lionesses Pineapple Festival Committee presented its 1992 profit of S7000 to the hospital auxiliary.

And the president of the Yeppoon Hospital auxiliary, hospital staffer Sister Del Wust, said on Tuesday: "I'm not going to waste another minute -- I'm sending messages for sample ECG machines to be sent up straight away."

Three companies will be asked for samples for trial so staff can test them to help decide which the hospital auxiliary should buy.

The new ECG machine will replace a "small, quite modest little machine" the regional hos-

Tanby Turf, Livingstone Shire Council and Skillshare combined to landscape some of the home's grounds.

"They have made our grounds a great place for the children," he said.

YEPPOON Now has a British Leyland register and organiserJames Murray said this week he was pleased with the response but still wanted to hear from more Leyland owners.

Mr Murray said 12 Leylands turned up at Appleton Park on Saturday and he later received 19 phone calls inquiring about the register.

He said there were more people interested in a register than he thought there would be.

"We had two MGBs, an Austin Healy Sprite,

an Austin 1800 ute, a Morris 11()0 and seven Minis.

"We still want to hear from people who own Wolseleys, Austin Kimberleys, Leyland P76s, more Minis and anything Leyland.

"We are hoping to run a barbecue on December 12 for anyone else interested in joining the register.

"If people are interested they can phone me on 39 1887.

Greening Australia takes solid step at a Yeppoon roundabout .

But on Tuesday afternoon a shower of rain didn't do the green concrete a lot of good. Nor did the school kids who road-tested the eyecatching green concrete -- with gut-wrenching wheelies and shock-skids on their push bikes.

Twenty-four hours later the originally bright green concrete was looking distinctly paler. But it was still sparking off quite quite a debate among locals, especially the reported cost of the powder, as opposed to the cost of a nonskid paint.

Engineer Mr Murphy: "It's got to be better than the usual grey cement. So we chose green for this job. You say it looks good? I'll see if I can get out from behind my desk long enough to go and have a look."

Mr Murphy says the Clayton Park roundabout on the Adelaide Park Road will also be finished with green concrete.

"It costs a bit extra. I don't know how much, but if it looks good, that'swhat wewanted," Mr Murphy said.

THE NEWEST traffic roundabout on the Capricorn Coast brings a brave new concept in community aesthetics -- green concrete to please the eye.

Workmen putting the finishing touches to the Lions Park roundabout on Tuesday mixed in a special green powder (believed to cost 5800) as they completed their last 11 cubic metres of concrete work on the job at the junction of Tanby and Old Rockhampton roads.

On Wednesday morning a council vehicle with special side-brushes was cleaning the edges of the new concrete ... where green meets grey.

Livingstone Shire Council engineer Pat Murphy: "We got the idea of coloured concrete from some other shire councils in southern and northern Queensland. We wanted to get away from the usual slabs of grey concrete."

TARANGANB A State Primary School's ill. terim P&C had its first ordinary general meeting on Tuesday night and discussed matters ranging from uniforms and road safety to fund-raising and special needs facilities.

Interim president Dr Denis Brett said the meeting was well attended by parents and community members who took part in discussions on issues that needed to be addressed before the new school opens at the start of the 1993 school year.

"It was encouraging to see the strength of community input in support of the new school.

vanced and we can expect to be presented with a modern, well resourced facility," Dr Brett said.

"But bricks and mortar don't make a school and we are working hard to build the school community at a similar rate.

"There is an enormous amount of work to be done and the response from the community so far has been overwhelming. Quite a deal of progress has been made in a number of important areas."

Following the public meeting on November 2 at which the interim P&C was formed. a number of sub-committees were established to deal with key issues. Dr Brett said the meeting on Tuesday night received several reports from those subcommittees.

The uniform sub-committee presented its final recommendations for uniform colour and style. Basic colours are jade top or dress and navy shorts or skirt. The style chosen provides for the home dressmaker as well as continuity of supply through local outlets.

"The P&C will supply a copy of the uniform specification to as many local businesses as possible. It is intended that a list of businesses who indicate their intention to stock the uniform will be made available to the school community," he said.

A representative of Livingstone Shire Council addressed the meeting providing information on recent council decisions that impact on road safety in the precincts of the school.

"This issue is complicated by a division of responsibility between local government and the State Department of Transport." Dr Brett said.

"Areas of concern that have been identified include speed zoning, safe crossings, particularly in relation to Emu Park Road, bus set down areas, lighting outside the school and the absence of pedestrian access on the bridge over Williamson Creek at Lammermoor Beach.

"The P&C will consult with the relevant authorities in relation to these issues."

Fund-raising has started and the P&C received its first donation of $100 from the Lions.

Taranganba and Yeppoon Primary P&Cs have planned ajoint fund-raising activity - showing of the movie 'Fern Gully' on December 5.

The meeting received a report from the executive on the issue of special needs facilities and endorsed the steps that had been taken to notify the Education Department of concerns with aspects of the design of the facilities; consult with the department to gather information on design policy and the rationale for the current design to enable P&G members to make informed decisions on this issue; and to gather information on the appropriate mechanisms through which policy change can be brought about.

Dr Brett said the executive reported it had received full co-operation and integrity from the Education Department in its dealings over this sensitive issue.

"The meeting was told the department had responded quickly to an initial approach from the P&C and had provided senior officers at short notice to consult with a range of parent and community representatives including the full P&C executive, the chairman and a parent representative from the P&C' s special needs sub\\NZUOSOM., , CM

committee and a QCPA representative," he said.

Dr Brett said that through this consultativprocess, the P&C had found out a substanti amount of additional information.

"The design for our school evolved through an extensive consultative process which included input from special needs professionals," he said.

"It has proved satisfactory through trials and has now been in use, without apparent problems. for about four years.

"There has been appropriate opportunity for consultation and community input in the planning of the Taranganba facility.

"There is no evidence to suggest the Education Department has acted other than in accordance with established policy and practice to date.

"There is a sound basis for the rationale of the current design which is based on the policy that special needs students are integrated into mainstream classes and spend greater than 50 per cent of their time in mainstream class rooms.

"The special needs toilet and shower facility are centrally located to optimise access for all special needs students from all points of the school," he said.

"The department recognised there were circumstances that required privacy considerations and has offered to incorporate additional features in the proposed facilities.

"It was also confirmed that the shower and toilet facilities in the administration block were available for use by children using the nearby sick bay.

"It was pleasing to see that the department's officers and the parent who had particular corible terns with privacy were able to reach agreemen;..-' that this arrangement would adequately meet the needs of her child," Dr Brett said.

"The department outlined the current arrangements for the provision of transport under which the Education Department would support an application for the provision of transport to the special needs unit at Yeppoon State Primary, or other appropriate facilities, where there is supporting evidence that the special needs of a particular child would be better catered for by particular features of individual facilities on a case by case basis."

He said the department also provided the P&C with useful information on the established mechanisms of notifying a perceived design fault to bring about a change to existing policy if that was considered necessary.

Dr Brett said the P&C considered the information at its Tuesday night meeting.

"There appeared to be logical arguments for siting the facility at either one of the proposed locations within the school," he said.

"A majority of people at the meeting believed that, on balance, a design fault exists in the current location of the facilities. The remainder of people present believed they were simply not in a position to form an opinion one way or the other.

"However, a majority of people present did not believe the P&C has sufficient credible evidence at this time to support a notification of the fault which would bring about a policy change.

"In order to present a sustainable case, the P&C has decided to form a sub-committee that will gather evidence to validate the perceived design fault. This will begin with consultation with QCPA and by seeking expert opinion," Brett said.

"The P&C has agreed it must enter this process with an open mind and, if our subcommittee's evidence shows that our perception of a design fault is wrong, we will accept that."

The association's next meeting is scheduled for December 9, at 7.30pm at Yeppoon State School. Interested community members are welcome.

CAMERA CLUB MEMBERS' LAST CHANCE FOR '92 TROPHIES THE two competitions for Yeppoon Camera Club's November meeting were the final for the yea, and the last opportunity for members to win trophies in 1992.

Next club meeting is on the second Monday in February, 1993 in Yeppoon RSL Hall.

The two slide competitions were eagerly contested with the great number of entries in each making it difficult for judge Kevin Young of Rockhampton to select the winners.

First competition - a bit of class: Dr Ray Channells, first; Vince Ohl. second; Norma Channells, third. Merits to Rex Kean and Vince Ohl. Competition number two - rear view: Norma Channels, first; Vince Ohl, second; Rex Kean, third. Merits to Rex Kean. Dr Ray Channells and Vince Ohl. The outstanding slide of the evening was the winner of rear view by Norma Channells.

The club's Christmas social at which the

trophies won during the year will be presented to eligible members, is on Saturday, November 28.

Also on that night the champion slide will be selected from those that have won competitions during the year. Everyone present will vote on the slides presented for the most popular slide and the W and S Gibbons trophy.

Audio visuals from members and one from the club entitled 'How McDougal Topped The Score' (rated AO) will also be shown.

Organisers expect the most arduous task of the evening will be having guests from Yeppoon and other clubs as well as members stop talking photography and go home.

There will be a poolside barbecue at Althea and Harold Vaughan's home on the Sunday night after the social. Much time at the barbecue will be spent debating the year's activities and there is no doubt that many new ideas for the future will be kindled.

LIVINGSTONE Shire Council has decided not to reimburse a ratepayer who took it upon himself to clean up the road reserve fronting his block.

Danny Harvey of The Caves has been contacting council since November last year about the state the council left the road reserve fronting his block ... with no responses.

In a letter to chairman Cr Barbara Wildin on November 4 last year, Mr Harvey said he was disgusted with the way his problem had been handled.

Mr Harvey's problem was that council had piled debris on the road reserve in front of his block making it "dangerous and untidy".

"I have rung the main office on several occassions: sometimes three and four ti mes within 15 minutes because I was being transferred to wrong extensions until the call dropped out.

"The works department came but only did part of the reserve. Then after another couple-of phone calls someone from the works department visited and told me 'they were not going to complete the job because they are going to leave the reserve for the wildlife'. That is a direct quote.

"To me this is totally absurd. He also told me they would have no objection if I did the work, which is in total contrast to the last statement made.

"His last statement to me was he would get back to me within the next couple of days because of my disgust in his comments about the reserve.

"That was three or four weeks ago and I have heard nothing since. As the reserve is a potentially dangerous situation I am hoping a commonsense attitude is adopted and the problem rectified shortly."

Mr Harvey said he received no response from Cr Wildin and wrote another letter to her on February 3, 1992.

In it he asked what work would be carried out on the road reserve.

Once again he said he received no reply and sent another letter to Cr Wildin.

In it he said he had taken it upon himself to hire a backhoe to clean the reserve "to keep it safe and tidy".

"It took the backhoe 5 hours at $65 an hour totalling $325," Mr Harvey said.

"I don't think it is reasonable to expect me to pay for this as it is council land and it was council staff who left it in such a dangerous and untidy state. I hereby apply to you for a refund of this cost.

"If I had not rectified the problem theie could well have been a fatality."

In the engineering report to council shire engineer Pat Murphy said no records of the letters had been located.

"The lot in question is in a rural zone and council does not tidy up road reserves in rural areas," Mr Murphy said.

"Mr Harvey was advised of this by council's foreman prior to the work being done.

"Therefore it is considered that council did not authorise the work and should not be expected to fund this work."

His recommendation to council was that "Mr D Harvey be advised that regretfully council does not clear rural road verges and as council did not authorise the work, it is unable to refund

the costs involved".

The recommendation was moved by Cr Kevin Hinz. seconded by Cr Fay Owens and carried.

In a notice of motion in council's November meeting, Cr Glenda Mather said: It has since been discovered that Mrs Schirmer (Mr Harvey's neighbour) asked council to remove the debris from her road frontage when the gang was working on the road, about 8 years ago.

"The gang obliged, and the debris was moved to the road reserve fronting the block which was bought by Mr Harvey at a later date.

"It may be said that council does not reimburse work carried out by aprivate contractor but Mr Harvey did all he could to have council address his problem.

"He considered the debris, which partially covered a large drain, was not only an eyesore' but extremely dangerous.

"I consider his attitude both tolerant and reasonable," she said.

"The table's understanding in these exceptional circumstances would be demonstrated by revising his claim."

An engineering report by works engineer Mark Windress said: "It is not known from the information given which crew is referred to. The timing coincides with the placement of the water main in that location.

"However, regardless of whether the crew did or did not move debris, Mr Harvey was advised that council would not carry out the work he requested but would not object to him carrying out the work at his cost.

"He then chose to have the work carried out at his cost."

In his recommendation he said that council's previous decision be confirmed.

Cr Mather moved a motion that council decide to reimburse Mr Harvey. The motion was seconded by Cr Roy Wall.

Cr Hinz then moved an amendment that the money should not come out of division 4 road funding. Jt was seconded by Cr Keith Hinchliffe but it was lost. The first motion was then put and lost.

Cr Kim Shields moved the recommendation, Cr Hinz seconded it and it was carried.

PO Box 1140, Yeppoon. Q. 4703 Phone: (079) 39 1959; Fax: 079 396 986 ECONOMIC recovery is a term the Federal Labor Party is using less and less. It's a bit hard for them when every forecast they've made in the last six months has been missed. Mr Keating will not rule out the possibility that unemployment will now top 11.3%. Economic growth of 3.4% which both Dawkins and Keating said would be easy, now "not possible". The increase of $17b in the national debt this year which was justified as a "kick start for the economy" is now going to be blown out.

While Labor sinks the country, the coalition continues to push GST and even more worryingly, zero tariffs. We on the Central Coast are insulated to some extent, but the rest of Australia is bleeding and there is NO RECIPE FOR SAVING AUSTRALIA. Australia is potentially the wealthiest country on earth, but the idiots are determined to level us with the third world.

The Confederate Action Party continues to grow - among many whet- recently formed branches, Gladstone opened this week. The momentum shown in NSW is staggering. At our present rate of growth, CAP will be the largest political party in Australia within four years. Perhaps the picture CAP paints for the future is possible.

On the local scene we're told that Five Rocks may become national park. If Sandy Point is an example of preservation national-park style, aid help Five Rocks. One ex digger has been heard to say he would have preferred Sandy Point to be left under Japanese management than have it 'wrecked' as it is now.

What an indictment!

Col Ryan from the Five Rocks area will bring us up-to-date at our monthly meeting this Saturday night (November 28) at the woodwork shed in Yeppoon Showground starting at 7.30pm. If you are concerned, please come and listen. This will be

the last meeting this year. Seasons greetings to all.

Government cost-cutting decisions have changed health systems over the past 70 years Dr Third in a series of interviews with Dr William O'Hare

HEALTH SYSTEMS in Australia have changed dramatically over the past 70 years or so - mainly because governments of all colours have been making a lot of political cost-cutting decisions that directly affect you and me.

If our community is to start making objective judgements about the Medicare system we have now, and what we did for health-care before "nartional health," we should take a look at the way our health systems have evolved.

Most older Capricorn Coast people will remember their parents talking of the "good old days" before World War I when public hospitals essentially were used freely by the poor and people without any money at all.

At that time, private patients were treated at their own cost. There were no health insurance systems. and at that time there was little difference in the quality of care in either system.

In public hospitals, doctors worked for nothing under the honorary system - caring for all patients and teaching student and resident doctors - all for the privilege of working in public hospitals.

In the 1920s and 1930s the "Lodge" system arose, where a doctor would care for a family for a fee of two to three pounds for a year - no matter how many times family members came in for treatment.

Before then, those people had been treated for nothing by GPs - because the patients had no money, anyway.

Initially. GPs thought the new "lodge" system was a good idea. In poor areas the doctors were getting some money, where before they got nothing.

But doctors in the more affluent suburbs had nothing to do with the "Lodge" system. They didn't need it or the income it brought.

But the system was quickly over-used. The doctors were overwhelmed by the workload - so each patient was getting less time with the doctor and the quality of care naturally declined.

This continued through the Great Depression of the 1930s, right up to World War II in some depressed suburbs in the cities and in a lot of country areas.

About 1949 the Labor Party tried to nationalise the health system to introduce a uniform health-care scheme similar to the 'National Health' introduced a year earlier in Britain.

But Labor's nationalisation plan was challenged in the High Court and ruled unconstitutional. It still is.

In the 1950s when the Liberal Party came to power, former country surgeon and new Health Minister Earl Page gradually introduced a voluntary system of private insurance, plus free hospital and surgery treatment for pensioners and war veterans.

Doctors were paid for looking after them.

Previously they hadn't been paid at all.

This scheme gradually expanded in the 1960s - with a great expansion in the number of private health insurance companies.

There were dozens, including some organised by religious and other groups.

About this time the costs of the total system began rising - mainly because of the introduction of many new medical, surgical and drug treatments of diseases that earlier were disabling or fatal.

In 1968 Prime Minister John Gorton supervised the introduction of the $5 special fee for people referred to a specialist - and GPs were gradually frozen out of routine surgery, obstetrics and other specialities, like anaesthetics.

In 1975 Labor Party economists Deeble and Scotton introduced under Health Minister Bill Hayden the Medibank system, which virtually meant free health care for anybody who wanted it - or free care from any doctor who would provide it.

But the government was warned by the medical profession that it would lead to over-use of the system by patients and fraud by doctors who wanted to make a quick fortune.

Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser took over in 1975 and within a year the warning came true: several doctors were convicted for fraud and some patients were involved as well. This has continued to this day under Medicare.

Mr Fraser made several alterations to Medibank which only succeeded in hopelessly confusing the system - for patients and doctors.

Medicare was introduced in 1984- Medibank under a different name, possibly because the

Americans called their health system Medicare.

Medibank and Medicare were based originally on Canada's health system. which also had a lot of problems.

The main problems are that the system is run by economists and bureaucrats to provide a cheap service.

But the bureaucratic costs of providing the service nearly equal the savings achieved by the service. If the bureaucratic costs could be slashed.

Medicare would be cheaper for everybody.

Waiting lists were virtually unheard of until the early 1970s but have become a major logjamb nowadays in giving care to people who need it - things like hip operations and replacements, eye surgery like cataracts, ear, nose and throat treatments and the like.

The Australian economic disasters since the early 1970s means that the resultant financial ing strengths to be slashed - but not the empire bureaucrats.

The Medicare levy is a joke. It provides probably about 10 to 15 percent of the real national health costs. The rest comes from general government revenue - mainly your taxes.

Despite all these machinations, the GP is still the lynch-pin of the national health system - and is probably the only one who can really control the health costs and maintain wuaslity care.

Dr O'Hare says the average performance level of general practitioners in the 1960s was excellent. but started declining in the 1970s "when the all-rounder GP started to disappear."

"In the 1960s the average Australian GP was regarded way up among the best in the world.

Some exceptional GPs probably still are - but Australian doctors nowadays are not being taught by experienced people.

"Young doctors in Australia in those days traditionally did some sweatshop work in the hospitals before going out into private practice to become very good all-rounders.

"The sweatshop period was hard, often very exhausting - but it produced some very fine doctors with a very wide range of general experience.

"One of the few areas in which you still find the GP all-rounder is in the regional outback. where good average doctors have to become good all-rounders to survive - and to help their patients survive."

Dr O'Hare says the thing that most disturbs him now "is the fatalistic acceptance of the declining medical system - and the almost unchallenged acceptance of the way the bureaucrats are changing the system."

"People are being told over and over again that Medicare is a wonderful thing. but I can easily remember the 1960s when there was no waiting list in Australia for minor or elective surgery.

"In those days it would have been a national scandal for a little old lady to be forced to wait a few weeks for an operation. Now, it makes national headlines if there's no waiting list."

He says that in 1992 at least 60 percent of Australia's 17 million people are on some sort of health card.

"And you cannot get into hospital now when you want to unless you have private health insurance. That's a terrible situation.

"For instance on the Capricorn Coast and elsewhere, you cannot get into hospital for three years if you need an ear, nose or throat operation.

"If it's a hip or knee operation. you will have to wait at least six months - more likely 12 to 18 months. For tonsils, it's 18 to 24 months.

"The waiting list for operations that are not strictly life-saving runs to hundreds of people for up to three years.

"If Medicare. our terribly expensive national health system is so good, why are we waiting so long for treatment? Why has the queue grown so long since those simple, straight-into-hospital days of the 1960s?"

The answer, he says, is frighteningly simple: bureaucrats have taken over Australia's health industry.

"There's only one growth area in the whole

AMNESTY HAS A SPECIAL FILM CAPRICORN Coast Amnesty International has a special movie on Sunday evening to round up its 1992 season of monthly film nights.

'Meeting Venus' is a romantic comedy featuring Glenn Close and the voice of Dame Tiri Te Kanaw a.

"It is a wonderful film about life, love, music and the pursuit of happiness. 'Meeting Venus' is a film not to be missed," organiser Denise Christensen said.

"Yeppoon's Rainbow Cinema is the venue at

6.30pm on Sunday, November 29. Tickets are $10 ($8 concession), and includes a light supper • and the opportunity to sign letters to help Amnesty's human rights work."

Amnesty's Christmas cards are also available. Tickets for the film from the dental office, Adelaide Park Road. 39 2155 or at the door.

"Amnesty thanks schools, businesses and individuals who sold buttons on Candle Day. It was a great success, raising over $1000 in Central Queensland." she said.

system: the bureaucrats and their personal empires. They've increased the size of their tot' empire up to 10 times in the last 10 to 15 year, "Just think of the huge quantity of good Australian taxpayers' dollars being eaten up by this mad system - this empire that passes pieces of paper back and forth, and creates new pieces of paper so they can go on looking terribly busy and important?"

He says the snow-balling effect of political and/or bureaucratic decisions to regionalise health services has been the thin edge of a very large and costly wedge.

"When they regionalised their health system in Victoria in the 1980s, it wasn't too bad in the early stages.

"But when the State Government's money started running out, they tried to reduce the costpressures by closing a 40-bed ward and sacking 50 to 60 nurses.

"But unbelievably, they also started increasing the number of bureaucrats. It was empirebuilding gone mad.

"These bureaucrats exist on paper-work. It's their only real purpose in life. They must have paper-work to survive, to show they are doing something. to justify their jobs. to make sure they keep their jobs and their salaries.

"At a Brisbane nursing home I know, the nursing staff complain they are spending far too much time reading and having to fill in documents.

"This seriously reduces their time for the essential job of supervising and teaching younger nurses, and looking after the people for who( they all exist - the patients."

Dr O'Hare says some bureaucrats have created patient history forms that are much too complicated and too time-consuming for doctors and hands-on nursing staff who should be spending more time with patients and colleagues.

"All a competent doctor really needs on a patient's medical history is the bottom line - not a document taking 10 minutes to read, "A doctor's time is too valuable - he or she should be spending it with the patient, not on bureaucrats' paper playthings."

A LETTER from FATHER CHRISTMAS

10am Yeppoon CWA Hall 6.30pm Yeppoon CWA Hall

Ernie & Cheryl Peters, 39 1418 'For godly sorrow produces repentance to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death."2 Corinthians 7:10

Such services will be provided under contract and will necessitate the successful applicant providing the necessary labour and equipment to perform the functions nominated in the Contract and Council's By-law Chapter 8 -"Animals and Impounding".

Just fill in coupon below, enclosing $1 for each letter ordered & send to ...

Council will provide the vehicle, fuel, pound, carphone, mobile dog capture cage and administrative support.

(That's where all the letters go before Father Christmas answers them) Wait to see the expression of joy on the faces of your children or grandchildren when they open their letter & realise who it is from. The memory will remain with you for years. Not only that, your $1 donation will assist Yeppoon Lioness Club to help local children's charities.

There are three letters, all beautifully written, and great care is taken where parents have requested individual letters for their children, that each receive differently worded letters.

Alternatively, why not encourage your child to write a letter to Santa enclosing, on their behalf, a $1 donation towards helping local children's charities.

Inquiries should be directed to the Chief Environmental Health Officer, Mr R Thessman, in the first instance. Copies of the By-law and the pro forma contract document are available for perusal.

Nightclub plan again rejected • CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 the projected number of people attending the festival would be?

Mr Harris: "Five thousand people; there could be more."

Cr Glenda Mather then asked how many police were on staff to handle situations.

Mr Harris said after consulting Yeppoon Police he found there would be roughly six on duty that night.

Mr Fitzgerald-Hood asked to speak and said he represented only himself and his family.

He asked what civil powers of arrest the hired security guards had?

Mr Harris: "They have no more civil rights than us. They are there to keep the place secure."

"If there is any situation the police will be called."

Mr Fitzgerald-Hood: "I have no problems with noise from Bonkers but when it closes there is a matter of crowd control.

"You could say two or three times a week members of my family are woken up, usually any time between three and four in the morning.

"There is very loud and fluent swearing: sounds of aggression, generally fighting, scuffles; wheelie bins are a prime target. they make a lovely noise when they are being trundled around the place.

"I know neighbours next to us, who were renting the house next to us, moved out because of the noise on the weekends.

"They said their young children woke t screaming ... they had had enough they were moving out." he said.

"I don't have the gift of prophecy which Mr Harris obviously has. He is saying there is going to be no problems ... I sincerely hope so.

"The police at times have been unable to control problems. Case in point was some weeks ago when we had a football team from Airlie Beach. " "I phoned the police to let them know what was happening. They said 'yes we know, we're keeping a very close eye on them, we're not game enough to move on them. We've only got two people on patrol'.

"That's one football team. How many other people are we going to have with that kind of mentality in a group of perhaps 5(X)0," he said.

"I think for a private organisation, who are profit-orientated, to say to the council "you should let us have this function" at the same time not saying they're doing it for the profit motive I think it is very immoral."

Yeppoon laundrette owner John Barwick spoke against the festival and said he totally agreed with Mr Fitzgerald-Hood.

He said when he phoned police he was connected with Rockhampton. Twice, when he had. phoned police to have them quieten a fight, they had not responded, not so far as he knew.

Cr Wildin: "I think that's about to change. I think we are going to be designated a 24-hour police station."

Cr Dowie said a problem may exist but said it was unfair to say Bonkers was responsible for all the problems. "There would be some from the Strand, there would be some from everywhere," he said.

"Whatever decision we make now is nr going to affect the language. urinating and oth, problems.

"The thing I am purely worried about is the protection of other people's property."

A Queen Street resident said the people wouldn't disperse: "They would mill around and have a few fights.

"You are going to get that anyway but with that many people in a concentrated area there is no guarantee of security outside," she said.

Mr Harris summed up saying he could not and would not give a guarantee on what people would do but to at least give the festival an opportunity.

Cr Shields moved a motion that the Bonkers proprieters be advised their proposal has been approved with the exception that all external activities cease at 12.30am. Cr Kevin Hinz seconded the motion.

Cr Dowie moved an amendment that the perimeter be reduced to the median strip in Hill Street and the car park beside Bonkers. It was seconded by Cr Hubert Murray. The amendment was lost.

Cr Shields said there were a vast number of people for the festival in the petition and only a few against. He said not to pre judge the festival: "Let it go through and then judge it on the night."

Cr Owens responded later saying anyone could sell a petition any way they wanted to.

Cr Wildin called for the motion to be decided.

Cr Wall called fora division. Crs Kim Shields, John Dowie, Lloyd Webber, Barbara Wildin and Kevin Hinz were for the motion. Crs Hubert Murray, Keith Hinchliffe, Mike Prior, John Smi Fay Owens, Roy Wall and Duncan McDonat.-/ were against.

Cr Glenda Mather had excused herself from the meeting about five minutes before the motion was called to a vote.

The motion to appove the Bonkers' application was lost.

Special thanks 'to fire warden ON Saturday afternoon, members of the Bondoola Rural Fire Brigade and neighbours banded together to help save our home and possessions.

Special thanks to fire warden, Mr Col Dennis. and his team who worked tirelessly to get the fire under control - without them we could have very easily lost the lot.

It's not until disaster strikes do you really realise the commitment and struggle that these men and women have to keep the small rural fire brigades alive and their importance in the community.

Our family has lived in Bondoola now for almost two years and has been guilty of being too busy when meetings arose.

This weekend, a familiarisation day and bring your own barbecue will be held on Saturday.

November 28 at 3pm at Neil's property, Byallie Road. Bondoola.

For more information contact Karen Richards on 39 2180 or Gail Stevens on 39 3146.

With the increasing number of families moving to the area it is important that we do make the effort to get to know one another and where we live, so if a' crisis does arise we all can feel comfortable and not hesitate in calling for help.

Let's all put a ring around the 28th on our calendar. To those who have not attended a meeting before, it's our first time to. So let's try our best to be there.

We look forward to meeting you. Sincere thanks again to everyone who gave up last Saturday for us.

- Old Paul, Paul, Min, Kvlie and Aaron Allsop, Mulara Road.

Boring job was housework!

I WAS prepared to let the misquotes at the end of the original article covering my visit to the Coast go, but since Dr Stewart-Dore has quite properly picked up on them I feel that some clarification is called for.

'The most boring job on earth', was a reference to housework - not home education - and I doubt if many women will disagree. The 'crowd control' reference is based on over 30 years of

teaching in Australian and overseas schools. It is no reflection on my professional colleagues, but rather on the changes that have taken place in society and schools over that time period.

Dr Stewart-Dore' s description of learning describes home education very well, though much research and practical experience has shown that dependence upon a formal curriculum is neither necessary nor desirable and that parents can do a better job with their own children than professional teachers. However, the professional comes into his/her own when dealing with larger numbers in the classroom.

The home education•movement in Australia recognises the professionalism of teachers as well as the difficulties they face and consistently argues that the millions of dollars that we save governments should go to employing more teachers in the classroom and reducing class sizes.

Home education is not anti-teacher but rather offers people a choice and has a proven record of success in the results of university research and the experience of the thousands of satisfied Australian families. For further information: 43 S harl and Avenue, New Norfolk, Tasmania. 7140.

Church offers basic doctrines LUTHERAN conservatives from Yeppoon and Rockhampton joining the newly formed Australian Evangelical Lutheran Church met for the first time at 10am on Sunday, November 22 at the residence of Mr and Mrs Ern Schultz of Ocean Circle, Yeppoon.

A preaching service with Holy Communion was conducted by Pastor Mel Grieger of St Marks Congregation, Hivesville (near Gympie).

Regular Sunday services will be held from now on, aided by video taped services from St Marks congregation and others.

Though only 10 people attended on Sunday, it is envisaged that numbers will increase due to the ever-growing dissatisfaction felt by many Christians towards the rapidly increasing modernistic trendiness that leaves little place in modern church practices for the basic doctrines of christianity We welcome any other disillusioned christians to check us out if they wish to do so, without obligations of any kind.

Do watch the Bay special!

DO yourselves a favour folks, and watch "Shoalwater Bay. Up for Grabs" tomorrow (Saturday) on Sunshine at 6.30pm.

It is not only a beautiful film, but it's also the best argument against sand-mining that this area has produced. There's some pretty powerful comment from, not only Peter Garrett, but also shire chairman Barbara Wildin and Wildlife Preservation Society's Pat O'Brien., • - Glynis Cumming, Adelaide Park Road.

Amazed that land stripped I'M amazed council has allowed all vegetation from the side of a hill on Farnborough Road to be removed.

One wonders who will pay for silt removal when it washes onto the road. If a retaining wall is required who pays for that?

May all the houses fall down in a land slide like Suzy Wong' s and others in Hong Kong.

Perhaps council will realise then there is such a word as erosion.

- Margaret F Clarke, Elma Street, Yeppoon.

Lack of action alarms reader THE recent Fitzroy River catchment symposium at UCQ and the recurring algal bloom in the Murray/Darling river should prompt us all into action to protect our precious water resources.

The lack of action on the Murray/Darling problem is alarming, considering this is one of our major river systems and we live in a dry continent.

Surely it is unacceptable that after so long there has only been talk and no action. It's not as if there are no solutions to the problem. The stark lack of aquatic plants in scenes of the river on television should prompt some thought that the regeneration of indiginous aquatic plants would be a necessary first step in solving this problem.

For many years local councils in New South

Wales and other states have been poisoning and removing aquatic plants in spite of documentary evidence of their use in removing nutrients and heavy metals from effluent and water bodies.

Perhaps landcare should be extended to watercare and local communities involved in regenerating aquatic plants to help reverse the damage we have caused. It may be easier to simply talk about the problem and wait for the rain to wash it away for another year but only action will provide the solution.

• ABOVE: Byfield on the winner's dais at last! Jackie Collins, centre, in Brisbane at the Queensland Primary Schools Championships, with her long-tune rival Nikki Stevenson at right.

Byfield schoolgirl fast over 800m ...while her mother follows in car!

• BY JOHN RYAN A SCHOOLGIRL from Byfield h8 become Queensland's hottest new prospect for a national, possibly international, career in middledistance running — the 800 metres classic.

Twelve-year-old Jackie Collins has just become the fastest 800-metre runner for her age in Queensland — and she says she aims to do better as soon as she can.

Jackie, from Byfield State Primary School, won the 800 metres at Brisbane's QEII athletics stadium on November 18 at the Queensland State Primary Schools annual championships.

She says she won her heat in 2 minutes 27 seconds and lifted her rate enormously in the final, clocking 2.24 to beat long-time Queensland primary schools champion Nikki Stevenson, 12.

"It's the first time I've beaten Nikki -- I really am thrilled about it," Jackie said at Byfield on Tuesday.

"I think the Queensland 800m record is 2.19 and I've still got a lot of work to do to beat that, but it was exciting to beat Nikki at last."

Nikki's defeat shocked a lot of people in Brisbane and right across Queensland. Some people who didn't see the race didn't believe the result.

Jackie Collins and Nikki Stevenson have run the 800m head-to-head five times — and Nikki has won four times. Now, the next clash is up for grabs.

The next step forJackie? "I think there'll be an Australian championships event, maybe in February, and there'll be the annual State championships — and then the-big one again, the 1996 Pacific Schools Games held every four years.

"At the Pacific Games at Darwin in April, with 24 nations competing, Nikki Stevenson won the 800m.

"I was second in my heat, with a bad time.

But I was pleased for Nikki because we're good friends. In Darwin I was too nervous but I'll be OK in 1996."

Jackie Collins, born at Yeppoon in February, 1980, has two younger brothers — and a Mum, Marie, who's obviously very proud of her athletic daughter.

Marie Collin& "Jackie works hard, not training every day mind, but usually about four days a week. Sometimes there's extra training, whenever we feel like it.

"Sometimes Jackie goes off on her own for training, running down the Water Park Road,

or up toward Shoalwater Bay Military Training Area. Sometimes she has a rest, stopping to watch the wild horses, then she trots off back home."

Is it true, Jackie, that you trained in the early days barefoot on the road behind Mum's car?

"No. I don't know who told that story. But I did train bare-foot on the oval behind the school.

Then I got sandshoes and I use them out on the road.

"In the championshipi I use Nike running shoes, not the real sprinter's spiked running shoes. Maybe I'll try them later. on.

"I really got interested in running when I was about six. I was OK in sprints when I was younger but when I reached 10 I started running the 800m, occasionally the 1500m events."

Jackie's early inter-school athletics meetings involved Byfield against primary schools at Farnborough, Emu Park, Sacred Heart and sometimes Koppel Sands.

She had her first real test in Year Five in the 1990 Queensland Primary Schools championships in Brisbane, finishing third in the 800m with a time around 2.30.

In 1991, in a major step up for Jackie, it was the national Primary Schools Championships in Canberra with about five heats and six runners in each.

She reached the finals and ran second in 2.25 --with her constant rival Nikki Stevenson a fraction in front.

But the limelight of the big State and national athletics events shines only intermittently and much of Jackie's athletics total time is consumed in the seemingly never-ending grind of training, eating dust on unsealed roads, slamming one foot in front of the other, endlessly; dodging traffic, fighting to better her times over 800m.

"Sometimes I run with friends for training, but mostly alone. Quite often Mum follows me in the car and if I need to go faster, she yells out `Go faster'!

That makes me stop jogging and stretch out but it annoys me sometimes, when I don't feel like going faster!"

Marie: "Jackie really likes to win. Loves to win. But despite that drive to come first, she's a very shy girl."

Okay Jackie, what do you really want to achieve in athletics? What's your secret goal?

"I'd like to get into the Olympics one day. I just like running. Yes, it's the challenge of making myself run faster. That's what I want to do."

So keep an eye on the little girl from the Byfield Forest Jackie Collins. In the big-time schools events, she's cut her 800m time from around 2.30 to 2.24.

The next target: the State and national primary schools' record of 2.19. And down the track-a bit, with some luck and a lot more hard work, maybe it's the 1996 Olympics.

THE Biblical illiteracy of members of many Christian churches is a serious concern and has prompted Calvary Lutheran Pastor Dave Grulke to hold a non-denominational one day, six-hour seminar on the Bible.

Pastor Grulke recently attended a conference in Sydney on 'Christian spirituality' and he said that many people have a fear of the Bible.

"They feel that they either don't know enough to understand it. or that it is too long, dry, and irrelevant to modern living. We have been making attempts here at Calvary to reverse this sad trend and to re-plant the roots of our people back into the word of God," Pastor Grulke said.

"To assist us in doing this, we are running a one day, six-hour seminar on Saturday, November 28. at Calvary Lutheran Church, Rockhampton, and again on Saturday, December 5, at the Catholic Education Centre in Yeppoon.

"The seminar is called See through the Scriptures, and is produced by Crossways International, a non-denominational organisation which believes in the importance of exposing adult Christians to the Bible, the source of their faith." he said "See through the Scriptures takes participants on a visual guided tour of the Bible' themes and narratives, from creation to Christ to-' our own daily lives.

"The presentation enables the participant to see what the Bible says, using colourful overhead transparencies. These, plus many other illustrations, are reproduced in the seminar manual and explained in the simple, accompanying text. They will help a person understand and remember the key Biblical narratives and themes."• Anyone may attend of any age from any church. For details and to enrol, contact your local church or phone 28 5235.

COUNCIL REJECTS NEW FESTIVAL REQUEST Bonkers' owners miss out with second proposal LIVINGSTONE Shire Council has again rejected an application from Bonkers Nightclub for a New Year's Eve street festival.

A new application was before this week's special council meeting and Bonkers Nightclub part owner Robert Harris addressed councillors on the proposal.

He said he and other owner John Andrews felt they had submitted a "very very detailed proposal. particularly in the first instance".

"We believe the new proposal contains significant changes, primarily to answer the concerns of the business proprietors on the eastern side of Hill Street," Mr Harris said.

"In that the initial proposal was a closure of Hill Street from 8am Thursday to noon on New Year's Day, Friday.

"That has now been reduced significantly to between 6pm and 8am. We believe that it will have minimal, if no effect what-so-ever, on the businesses.

"As far as the residents of Queen Street are concerned I can assure council that they were all served with a notice.

"I have not had the benefit of looking at any of the written objections of the business proprieters in Hill Street," he said.

"We have also made an open offer to the proprietors in Hill Street if they are concerned

about the exteriors of their building then we are prepared, if they request us, to erect hessian screening.

"We believe that in this instance there is more security offered for the proprietors of the eastern side of Hill Street than in any other night of the year.

"We are in a confined, well lit, well managed area. There is a function going on that the Yeppoon Police obviously are very much aware of.

"There will be security staff on constant patrol throughout that area," he said.

"As far as the eastern side of Hill Street is concerned there are no darkened areas where people perhaps may get in and do some damage.

"Again, I reiterate, as far as those premises are concerned we are prepared to erect screening to protect the buildings.

"The other issues, such as noise, we believe we have addressed. We have made it quite clear that at lam on that night, (the music will stop) OK that may be seen as a late hour for some people but it is New Year's Eve after all.

"I believe we should be given the opportunity on this occasion to run this festival to show the council and the ratepayers of Yeppoon that it can be done and done properly," Mr Harris said.

"I certainly would not be personally involved if I thought it was going to result in a drunken orgy" ... which he said he knew a lot of people believed would happen.

Cr Fay Owens: "It certainly will happen".

Mr Harris: "I believe that it won't."

"I want to have council give us the opportunity to run this festival.

"We believe, and we know we are very much' on trial here, but the whole concept, we believe, will have lasting and long-term effects for Yeppoon.

"We believe that it will be introducing significant numbers of people into the town on New Year's Eve which would not normally visit the place.

"I understand, even though I am not a longtime resident, that in previous years Yeppoon used to be a place where people from Rockhampton used to come up for New Year's Eve," he said.

"I don't want this proposal to be compared in any shape or form with the Emu Park festivities.

I have never personally been there. This will be a totally different ball game.

"As far as the petition is concerned it was very formal arrangement.

"Some of you have probably seen it. It wa delivered to virtually all of the businesses in the main street, including the Savemore Centre.

"They weren't compelled to display or accep the petition but on our last count there were abou 600 signatures in favour with 15 against," he said.

"Now OK, we are not trying to pretend that is anything but a general indication, but we believe the festival has general public support."

Cr Barbara Wildin: "I think that needs to be clarified then. Those signatures were obtained from business houses in Yeppoon?"

Mr Harris: "Yes. People visiting those business houses."

Cr Fay Owens: "Could I ask aquestion please?

Can you prove to me that everybody who signed that petition was over the age of 18?"

Mr Harris: "No." Cr Owens: "That's all I want to know."

Mr Harris: "I think in all fairness we should be given the opportunity to run this festival. I believe that the proposal is as comprehensive as we could possibly make it. We have covered all avenues.

"There certainly are some spin-offs for people in the town with a significant number of people employed on a casual basis over that. period with both the preparation, the running and the clean-up period."

Mr Harris said social and sporting clubs, as well, would benefit "boy scouts, sporting clubs etc".

"I believe that on balance council shoulau resolve to give us an opportunity to run it."

He said he would answer any questions. The details had been provided to councillors in the second proposal.

"I urge them, if they haven't already done so. to read the proposal in detail. I have some reservations that there may have been some misunderstandings on the previous proposal," Mr Harris said.

"If councillors have any specific questions we are here to answer them."

Mr Hanis and Mr Andrews then answered questions from councillors on subjects such as noise, hired security, parking problems. a complaint from another licensed premises saying it would lose business from the road closure, the road closures, problems with under-age drinkers and more details about the festivities.

Some councillors were concerned about what would happen to the patrons after the entertainment finished at lam.

Cr John Dowie asked if people would remain in the enclosure between lam and 8am or would "people flood out willy-nilly".

Mr Harris said people dispersed rapidly after the entertainment finished but gave no guarantee somebody wouldn't "kick a door in".

"We will have security in the carpark but what people do once they leave the enclosure is beyond our control," he said.

He suggested people might enter the hotels and nightclubs after the festivities because most would probably have a 5am licence.

There were seven people in the gallery during the special meeting: proprieters of Bonkers Robert Harris and John Andrews; Raymond Terrace resident Terrence Fitzgerald-Hood who asked to speak against the proposal; a resident from Quee I Street; Drs John Lloyd and Julian Gregory froff. the Yeppoon Medical Centre in Hill Street; and John Barwick from the Yeppoon Laundrette in Hill Street.

Dr Lloyd told Mr Harris he needed access to his surgery in case of an emergency. He asked if an ambulance could access his building.

Mr Harris said they would provide access in an emergency.

Mr Fitzgerald-Hood asked Mr Harris what • CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

AN enterprising visitor has created handlettered cards which are on sale on the Coast.

They feature colour photographs of sunrise and the lettering says the scene is from Mullambin (sic) Beach. Unfortunately, the beach name has only one '1' ... but that's not the visitor's fault. the council has two road signs for the area; one is correct and one is incorrect. The Capricorn Coast Mirror carried a picture of the two signs months ago pointing out the error. Maybe, now that cards are going all over the world with the wrong spelling, the council can rectify the problem ... before Christmas, perhaps?

•• • A GIANT step for Greening Australia has been created at the Lions Park roundabout ... the median strip has been filled with green concrete! It's certainly worth.a look. Some will like it. some won't, but not to worry, the beauty of concrete is it's there forever!!!

•• • NO doubt fruiterer John Azzopardi will have something to say about the median strips ... after all, last Saturday he was talking about it being so dry he saw a gum tree chasing a dog!!

IT was Schoolies Week all this week and you'd hardly know they were about... except for the group thoroughly enjoying themselves in the convertible who were standing up and waving to all as they roared along the Scenic Highway on Wednesday morning. They were just having fun but the seat belts must have been the stretchable type!

•• • WHAT about the bunch of Schoolies who decided to have a party in the Lammermoor Beach Native Gardens after graduation. They enjoyed themselves no end, slept. then grabbed a bunch of garbags and cleaned up the area. One of the mothers was preparing to pick up the bags and take them to the tip when the Coast's friendly garboes happened along and offered to take the lot away. Kids were happy. Mums were happy.

Garboes were happy ... and a bunch of responsible leaders of the 21st century will be trusted to have another party!

•• • LAST week's Mirror had an item about a Leyland Car Register meeting being held in Stapleton Park. Actually, it was held at Appleton Park. When the Mirror crew turned up to get a pic the one holding the pen remarked that they would have been there a lot earlier "but we've been waiting for you at Stapleton Park"!!

whacked on a pair of pants, a shirt ... and a pair of sandals. Just as he picked up the car keys one of his early-20s sons says he's not going out with anyone "looking like that" ... and points to the sandals. Second son, in late teens, joins in with more genuine outrage, shock/horror at father's foot gear. Father was amazed to discover they weren't joking. They didn't even laugh when he referred to his sandals as "formal thongs". They carried on about him demanding they wear long sox with shorts to golf and soon.

Dad stuck on his dig and teenager. in last bid for clothing sanity said: "If you must wear sandals, at least wear sox with them ! !!"

•• • NOW the Dad is wondering where the Pommy influence comes from!!!

•• • THE first of the Adult Learn-to-Swim Classes finished on Tuesday night and they were a great success. The classes, sponsored by the Mirror, are conducted by Gary and Grant Ireland at the Cooee Bay Olympic Pool. Thirty started four weeks ago and about 25 were still there on Tuesday night, eight one-hour lessons later. The next classes start on Monday night at 6pm.

There are only two vacancies so if you want to learn to swim phone either of the Ireland brothers at the pool on 39 5029. If you have any doubts ask the people who took part in the first course ... Sylvia Belot, Olive Brown, Paul Beattie, Jenette Feodoroff, Eileen Richards, Margaret Pigeon, Patricia Wilson, Bernie Hindle, Joy Barkle, Marnie Wilkins, Kenneth Rickard, Elizabeth Watt, David Dixon, Steven Davies, Margaret Kershaw, Anne Zonca, Vicki Brett, Gloria Brown, Stanley Newport, Lyn Hallett.

Wilma Vaughan, Terri Cranny, John Watson.

Wendy Stephens. Brian Stephens. Daphne Speechley, Bev Smalley, Daphne Elgel, Ruth White and Jenny Macaulay. Or ask either of the Irelands ... they were tickled pink at the way the pupils developed. For some, just getting into the water was a feat ... now they can face the water with confidence. Some were churning up the pool in both freestyle and backstroke by the seventh lesson ... and they moved on to breastroke ! Not bad for just eight hours of tuition ... and it's relaxing!
