Josh claims silver in national school swimming

BLACKALLs Josh McErlean and his family recently travelled to Perth to attend the School Sport Australia Swimming Championships, the largest event on the National School Sport Program. The championships were held from September 12 to 18, with more than 800 students from across Australia, aged from 10 to 19 years, competing in a range of swimming events. Josh competed in four events; 50 metre breast stroke, 50 metre butterfly, 50 metre freestyle relay and swam the butterfly leg in the 50 metre medley relay. In all events Josh broke his personal best times and in the 50 metre freestyle relay Josh and his team came second, winning the silver medal. School Sport Australia Swimming Convener Simon Warren said that the swimmers in attendance were

the best young swimmers in the country. SSA Executive Officer Steve Kalend described the competition as fierce between all competitors, as many of the swimmers were evenly matched.

Dead heat in social bowls

One game of social bowls last Sunday resulted in a dead heat of 14-14 between Cookie and Dally against Loretta and Wayne. Blackall bowlers went very well in the big weekend at Quilpie. While not quite winning the big money, Blackall bowlers won the highest score in each of the three rounds with Gary Whitfield and Rob Doyle only 3 behind the winners from Cunnamulla. Next week at the bowls club pairs play starts at 9am. R Browning and J Bowyer will play L Kelly and T Hayward. D and J Carter will go up against M and C Pfingst. Names are required to travel to Barcaldine on October 18. Anyone wanting a game should contact the club as soon as possible.

Dr Joshi named ADTOA President

Rowan Hunnam
Dr Viney Joshi from the Blackall Hospital and Black Stump Medical Centre has been named President of ADTOA (Australian Doctors Trained Overseas Association). The announcement was made earlier this month following the retirement of Andrew Schwartz from the position. Dr Joshi, who has been Chairman of the ADTOA Queensland board for around 4 years, says that having been approached by members of the national board he was more than pleased to accept the position of President of the organisation. I feel that it is important that the position has been given to a doctor, an internationally-trained graduate; one that has been through all the teething problems that IMGs (international medical graduates) go through.

Concluding the event on the third day with the sporting competition, Alisha and Caitlin again placed to receive ribbons while the rest of team did extremely well placing in the top half of the competition; gaining some top 10 times.

Zone 14 pony club members have returned from the Pony Club state titles in Gympie proud of their efforts against some of the best riders in the state and a team from NSW. On day one riders competed in the State Gymkhana which consisted of all disciplines including best presented, hack, girl riders, sporting, time trial and showjumping. All riders had a strong finish, well up in the top end of their competition. Alisha Woods, Caitlin Johnstone and Sara Aspinall each received a place.

Blackall riders finish well in Gympie State titles

A group of active residents of Blackall have taken the initiative and started up team sports night on Monday evenings. The regular event will provide a opportunity for community members to participate in sports that are otherwise not on offer. The first competition kicks off this Monday, October 12 with flag footy at the Blackall showgrounds. Each sport will be played for a 5 or 6 week period, enough to build up some substantial skills, and will then rotate through different team sports. The organisers are hoping that they will get a good turn up. Participants may either create their own teams for the evening, or turn up and make teams on the night. At no cost, the night kicks off at 6.30pm for an hour every Monday night.

Bluelight to celebrate shed handover

To top off last weeks recordbreaking attendance of 103 young people for a night out in Banks Park, the Blackall Bluelight Association were pleased to finalise the amount of money raised from the Sportsmans Dinner held earlier in the year. A total of $5,742.60 was raised from the evening, which organiser Melissa McKay says was fantastic. There was quite a hold-up with the paperwork but it has been worth the wait. St Josephs operated the bar while the State School students served and waited on the tables. Each school was offered $500 from the evening in addition to a further donation depending on the outcome of the night. Brent Gerber said that the committee was pleased to be in a position to donate significantly more than the initial $500 to the schools and have some funds to put towards future events. The Bluelight Association were also pleased with news that the Blackall Tambo Regional Council has offered the shed at the skate park for storage of all Bluelight equipment. Council Sports and Recreation Officer Lisa Goodman was involved in organising the shed. Melissa says the shed is terrific

At the opening, Bluelight will also present both schools with cheques from the Sportsmans Dinner along with a free sausage sizzle/BBQ between 5 and 6pm.

A few spots of rain to report, just enough to remind us that it still does rain! Certainly very pleased no further heavy dust in the air for us however a bit of dust is not too bad when you consider the devastation and loss of life in Samoa after the tsunami and the earthquake on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. We are extremely fortunate. This past weekend proved to be one of social events with the visit to our region by the Goondiwindi Garden Club. The tour visited country and town gardens, eight in total. The benefit to our community is considerable from a financial point of view as well as from the promotional point of view as word of mouth is always the best promotion. I know the visitors went home extremely tired but delighted with all they had experienced over the days they were here. My congratulations to the gardeners of the region; I believe the gardens were outstanding. The National Rugby League final played in Sydney saw the Melbourne Storm prevail over the Parramatta Eels in a hard fought game. After a season of being in the top few teams the win was well deserved. The football season is over for the year, I was extremely disappointed to have missed the Blackall Junior Rugby League Club presentation ceremony held at the Blackall NOVEMBER showgrounds multipurpose centre on Sunday, October 4 at 3 Blackall Memorial & Sports Club Melbourne Cup 9am. The conclusion of the season is the highlight of the year.

Eligibility for an IDP declaration is based on a variety of factors.

project was aimed to encourage good citizenship, create awareness about people from local communities who have contributed in combat to maintaining Australias freedom and to build on the Towner committees efforts to honour Edgar Towner with a statue. The Edgar Towner story is one that the people in the community can relate to, including the students and they wanted to choose it. Rochelle Robinson who was involved in the project said that she felt it was important that they were documenting the life of someone who was not only local, and a hero, but also an exstudent of the state school. Ross Dwyer, the Honorary Secretary of the Order of Australia Association said that such projects demonstrated the diversity of exciting and interesting activities promoting commitment to and pride in Australian citizenship.

The garden at McLean Place has been revitalized with the addition of a mural by Brisbane-based artist Christian Griffiths. Christian designed and painted the 4 x 4 metre mural on the wall beside the famous Bushmans Hotel. The wall is used for the booster system for the new extension at McLean Place. The concept is based on an imaginative outlook contrasted with the traditional bush or outback scene. Christian used acrylic and aerosol paints to bring the formal garden and water feature to life in the McLean Place garden. Funded by the Blackall Tambo Regional Council, the mural was painted over three days and can be viewed from the ramp leading to the new extension. Barcoo Retirement Village Chairman Owen Stockwell said the mural has created a tranquil atmosphere in the outside area for residents and staff to enjoy.

Residents brush up on history

More than sixty people took the time to visit the Top 150: Documenting Queensland exhibition while it was on show in Blackall this week. The exhibition, on tour around Queensland with the Queensland Arts Council, was at the Blackall Living Arts Centre from October 5-7. Blackall Cultural Association President Sally Campbell took the opportunity to commend the extensive refurbishment of the Blackall Living Arts centre as a result of a Gritty Places grant. It really is a wonderful facelift. Barry Muir said he had hoped

many more people would visit the exhibition as it documented an important part of, and valuable asset to Blackalls history. It warmed my heart that the Jack Howe scrapbook made it onto this list. The exhibition featured an extract from Jack Howes scrapbook containing clippings of his shearing career which extended beyond his retirement in 1900. The exhibition also contained other documents of relevance to Blackall, including the 1891 Shearers Strike Manifesto, the 1868 Crown Land Alienation Act and the 1884 Land Act.

become involved in the National Partnership on Literacy and Numeracy. The program aims to improve literacy performance in students. Entitled Literacy a Pathway to Success, the program is part of the Literacy and Numeracy National Partnership, the focus of the program is on literacy, with improved reading comprehension being targeted. Assessment data consistently shows that students oral reading (ie. fluency, accuracy, and expression) is not matched by equivalent understanding and comprehension skills. During 2009 and 2010, the program will include a wide variety of strategies such as professional development for teachers and support staff in areas of literacy, continued assessment and monitoring of student progress, building strong curriculum leadership and effective teamwork throughout the school, providing appropriate quality resources and setting targets and tailoring programs to support reading skills

St Josephs has recently

at every level. Participation in the National Partnership Literacy should see reading even more central in St Josephs school activities. To read confidently and fully understand what has been read is important for success in the world. Improving reading comprehension skills for all students will not only enhance all aspects of literacy, but further promote confidence and learning in all areas. *** A reminder that the grade 6/7 wine fundraiser will kick off straight after the holidays. All orders need to be in within 4-6 weeks. All wine orders will be back by the end of November; in plenty of time for those christmas celebrations and/or a few bottles to give away as christmas gifts. The wines were given a test run at the wine tasting a few weeks ago and everyone agreed that they were all very nice, so St Josephs are confidently recommending them. There are 7 wines to choose from; 3 reds, 3 whites and 1 champagne.

Gday all and welcome back to the last term of school for the year. I hope you all had a fantastic holiday even if it was a bit dusty. There are only nine weeks until the Christmas holidays, but I am sure no-one is counting down yet. Because it is the first week of school I thought you might enjoy some school-related activities. Please dont use the reasons I didnt do my homework on your teachers, because they read Eddie Emu too. Have a good week and make sure you DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

Eddie Are aliens attacking the Sea of Japan?

Not exactly, these gigantic blobs are unwelcome visitors from another place. These wiggly, pinkish giants called Nomuras jellyfish can weigh up to 204 kilograms thats as heavy as a male lion and they're swarming by the millions. These large sea creatures are normally found off the coasts of China and Korea, but occasionally drift east into the Sea of Japan to feed on tiny organisms called plankton. But now one hundred times the usual number of jellyfish is invading Japanese waters. The fishermen's nets are getting broken by hundreds of Nomura's. The jellyfish crush, slime, and poison valuable fish in the nets, such as the tuna and salmon that the fishermen rely on to make a living. No-one knows for sure what's causing this jellyfish traffic jam. It's possible that oceans heated by global warming are creating the perfect jellyfish breeding ground. Another theory is that over fishing has decreased the numbers of some fish, which may allow the jellies to chow down without competition for food. For now, all the fishermen can do is design special nets to try to keep the jellies out. Some of them hope to turn the catastrophe into cash by selling jellyfish snacks. Peanut butter and jellyfish, anyone? Fast Facts * Baby Nomura's jellyfish change from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a washing machine in six months or less. * Jellyfish are 95% water. * Jellyfish aren't actually fish, they're invertebratesanimals without backbones

The Goondiwindi Garden Club this week travelled to the Central West and visited a selection of Blackalls property and town gardens. With 28 of their 200 garden club members on tour, in a whirlwind weekend, the group visited Mt Enniskillen, Gillespie, Kyneton, Ravensbourne, Dumfries, Listowel Downs and Terrick Terrick. The tour concluded in Blackall with a morning visit to the gardens of Jenny and Barry Muir, and Lynette Davison. Goondiwindi Garden Club member Marian Marshall said that she had been overwhelmed with the roses in Blackall. Mary Arbuckle added that Everyone said to us that coming out this far west to look at gardens was a strange idea, but we have well and truly proven that wrong. Right: Marian Marshall and Mary Arbuckle from Goondiwindi admired Lynette Davisons garden earlier this week
