Golf club hosts presentation luncheon

A Golf Club presentation luncheon was held on Sunday with a number of golfers, sponsors and their families attending for a great afternoon. Only two games of golf were played at the start of the season due to the high rain fall, but by early April the course was dry enough to start some serious games of golf. Golf Club president Les Williams and captain Shane Robinson presented the awards. Congratulations go to Ronan Robinson, a junior player who took out the Guys Outback Workshop Match Play Final and to all the other golfers for their wins for the 2011 golfing year. The Blackall Golf Club would like to thank all their sponsors for 2011 as well as Darren Batts Transport for sponsoring the Blackall Open for 2011.

Blackall Gun Club aiming for a two day shoot in 2012

Blackalls Clay Target Club has begun planning for a two day shoot in May next year, the first to be held in the town for some years. The idea comes on the back of a major revamp at the grounds north of town, thanks to the Queensland Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Program which supplied funding for the club to install three new trap houses and 15 new shooting lanes. Club officials now have their fingers crossed for a Gambling Community Benefit Fund application for three new traps and associated equipment, to ensure the planned shoot runs smoothly. It has been organised by the club executive of Danny Allan, John Pay and Jim Taylor, who were re-elected as president, vice president and secretary/treasurer at last Sundays annual general meeting. Joe Taylor and Angus MacDonald are the clubs range officers for 2012. In the meantime the club is planning a Christmas shoot on Saturday, December 17, with a four event program beginning at 2pm. The last event, a 10 pair Deauville doubles with a draw for partners, will be run under lights after an evening meal.

Jo Cripps was home from her vet science studies in Townsville and took the opportunity to have a go at clay target shooting at Blackall on the weekend. She was using her great grandfathers --Sally Cripps Browning shotgun for the day.

Blackall residents learn about Alpha mining plans

Residents at the consultation raised suggestions as how the mining company could assist Blackall including training programs and recruitment for school leavers. Mr Finlayson said schools training would target school leavers for the duration of the operational period. Its something we need to think about and show them that there is an avenue for training, Mr Finlayson. Mayor Jan Ross said council was concerned about losing workers to mining and was keen to prevent that. Were pretty scarce on the ground and losing operational staff already, Cr Ross said. When asked if Waratah Coal might assist with upgrades to the Tambo Alpha road, Mr Finlayson said it wasnt on their current program. The environmental impact statement will be available for review until December 19 with Waratah aiming to start construction at the end of 2012.

A small group of Blackall residents turned out to the Blackall Sports and Memorial Club on Thursday November 10 to learn about the mining plans of Waratah Coal at a community consultation. At the meeting a small team of consultants outlined Waratah Coals environmental impact statement for their proposed coal mine located 30 kilometres north west of Alpha. The proposed mine would operate for five to ten years, producing approximately 40 million tonnes of product coal. Construction of the mine is predicted to take three years, employing 2500 workers, with work likely to operate on a fly in fly out (FIFO) basis. Approximately 2000 workers would be employed during mine operations with 28 senior managers to be based in Alpha. Consultant Michael Finlayson who spoke about the economic and social impacts of the mine, said the main concerns related to the mines impact on ground and surface water as well as fears that Alpha would become a mining town with a transient population, social issues and a high cost of living. We see that an increased population will increase the costs of living and that there would be social welfare issues as a result, Mr Finlayson said. Mr Finlayson said the mining company would try to offset high costs of living by considering options to increase the affordability of housing. It might be building some houses and giving them to the hospital or school for their staff, Mr Finlayson said. Mr Finlayson said the company was keen to employ as many locals as possible and would provide initiatives such as recruitment and training for mine workers and educating contractors in mining industry standards. We need to work out how were going to provide local jobs and not adversely effect local employers, Mr Finlayson said. Mr Finlayson said the majority of workers would be employed on a FIFO or drive in drive out (DIDO) basis. We dont have any message from Alpha that they want a big town, Mr Finlayson said. Theres a target of 2000 people in Alpha- residents want the town to grow enough to get a doctor and Year 11 and 12 at the school. Other infrastructure developments are set to include the installation of a rail line to Port Abbott and upgrades to the Alpha airport.

I was pleased to attend the and with good management by Queensland Parliamentary council staff, the ability to drove a Transport, Local Government and mob of cattle to a destination will Infrastructure Committee enquiry continue into the future. DERM into Queensland stock routes held will have the ability to levee a in Longreach on Friday, November charge per head on the use of the 18. It was a well attended meeting stock routes, local government with many interested people will retain a portion of the monies having been to the Meat and collected to be used for needed Livestock Australia meeting also improvements. I was also pleased to have held in Longreach. Many councils gave evidence been able to be a witness to the through their councillors or Parliamentary Transport, Local through their respective rural Government and Infrastructure lands officers on how they saw the Committees hearing into the proposed legislation affecting their financial sustainability of remote particular council. Some were councils on the same day. I gave evidence on behalf of satisfied with the outcome while others were disappointed with the Blackall Tambo Regional Council document. Individual landholders supported by a written submission and Bill Little representing the to the inquiry. I was able to highlight to the committee the difficulties drovers also gave evidence. The management of routes by faced by councils such as Blackall local government was called into Tambo Regional Council which question by users while there was operate on a very small rate base a call for a code of conduct for annually and endeavour to provide drovers. It was pointed out that services which fulfil community long standing water issues have expectations and the absolute never been resolved and certainly necessity to continue with the Financial Assistance Grants and need to be in order to proceed. There have been committees other available support. Each working on this matter for eight panel of witnesses was given a time years with the outcome still looking frame of half an hour. However I rather blurred and in some cases was asked to share my half hour definitely misunderstood. Stock with the chairman of RAPAD, Cr routes have been a life saver for Ed Warren Mayor of Winton and many a mob of drought affected general manager of RAPAD David cattle over the history of the routes Arnold, representing the six other Page 2 - The Barcoo Independent, Friday, November 25 2011

FROM THE MAYORS DESK

Councils on the RAPAD Board. Our time frame was stretched to one and a half hours which ensured there was a great deal of discussion between the committee members and the witnesses about the problems experienced and some solutions. The announcement by the Change Commissioner in which he stated his recommendations for the Blackall Tambo Regional Council local government electorate could have some very beneficial outcomes. The recommendation for an undivided electorate and an increase to six councillors and a mayor if approved will certainly give a greater means of debate and ideas around the meeting table and eliminate the occurrence of two being a quorum. I am hoping above all that there will be greater engagement with the community due to the additional representation. I do hope the Minster for Local Government Paul Lucas will give his assent to the recommendations as presented. There will be further councillor training offered by the Department of Local Government and Planning held here in Blackall on December 6 at 5.30pm in the council boardroom for prospective councillors.

incident, he said. Mr Walker was very respected within the community and a good operator. According to the Queensland Fire and Rescue media unit, the Queensland Ambulance Service had been called to a private property about 40kms from Blackall at 2.40pm on Tuesday where they found a man with serious head injuries.

Shockwave shortlisted for music award

Local youth arts festival Shockwave has made it to the shortlist for the national Music In Communities Awards. The awards, run by the Music in Communities Network, reward and promote community music groups, with the 2011 awards adopting a Local Links theme. The theme invited groups to outline the connections, partnerships and relationships they have nurtured in and beyond their local community. Tony Breese from the Music in Communities Network said the theme was chosen to recognise that the best community music making does not happen in isolation. There are many groups that have had real success in forming strong and sometimes unusual partnerships which have enabled their activities to flourish and benefited their local communities at the same time, Mr Breese said. Shockwave Festival were up against some outstanding entries from choirs, bands, orchestras, drum circles, accordion societies, all sorts of groups from right across Australia, he said. After some very difficult decisions, these were whittled down to just 18 finalists. Shockwave Festival producer Brooke Newall said they were thrilled to be shortlisted for this national award. Shockwave is a festival designed and delivered

through the leadership and creativity of young people in Outback Queensland, Ms Newall said. Its an opportunity for young musicians to learn from professionals, take main stage and shine! Shockwave was also recently awarded the Festival and Events award at the Outback Queensland Tourism Awards held in Blackall. The Music in Communities Network is Australias first national network linking community music leaders in towns, cities and villages all over Australia. More information on the Music in Communities Network and the Awards can be found online at www.musicincommunities.org.au.

smooth when more tragedy strikes and mysterious things start to happen around the property. Flashbacks to the 1940s unfortunately seem to add confusion to the narrative rather than enhancing it in the way the author intended. Through these flashbacks, the reader is gradually given hints at the source of Amandas mysterious problems. Unfortunately the plot twists occasionally seem to be slightly melodramatic and the surprise the reader was meant to feel at the final twist wasnt particularly strong for me. Other plot twists however work quite well, adding extra layers of complexity to the novel. The start of the novel set the stage well for the events that

Outback drama Blue Skies tells the story of a young womans fight to save her familys debtridden farm with hints of romance and mystery thrown in for good measure. Upon graduating from an agribusiness degree, Amanda Greenfield is eager to help her parents manage the family property Kyleena and turn it into a thriving rural business. Tragedy strikes early however, just six pages in, derailing Amandas plans. Amandas grief stricken father decides to sell Kyleena, but Amanda is determined not to lose the property that has been in her family for generations and embarks on a mission to resurrect it to its former glory. However, her path is far from

would unfold, getting the reader emotionally involved from the very beginning. Unlikely romances seem another order of the day with romantic plot points that were both predictable and underdeveloped. The story would be stronger if the romantic sub plot had been either left out or developed more convincingly. Amanda is ultimately a likeable character and her struggles are realistic, giving an accurate sense of the problems faced by people on the land. Although Blue Skies isnt as strong as some other outback dramas Ive read, its a worthy addition to the genre and would undoubtedly make a good addition to ones summer reading pile.
