Trebles championships in bowls Tennis underway come along Three championship trebles games were played last and

d have a ball
Sunday at the Blackall bowls club with J Turner, J Blucher and R Blucher taking on R Robinson, M Pfingst and D Daly in a good close game. Don Daly apparently was the best player for the opposition team but they still managed to win 26-21. In another trebles game, Woody, R Doyle and Gumby did battle with C Pfingst, G Whitfield and Dally Holden after being in trouble early, down 11-4 on 6 ends. Gumbys team was playing great bowls and Dally picked up 6 shots on end 7. Gumby then got bogged down on 11 for the next 7 ends to go down 35-14. In the best game of the day, T Hayward, L Kelly and J Carter had a great tussle with W Richardson, J Bowyer and R Browning. John was leading 15-10 after 13 ends, but then it was 19-19 on the last end with Ross missing with the last bowl to give Johns team a win 20-19. The club would like to thank the six players who went to Barcaldine on Saturday who did very well with two wins and a close second to come third overall. Next weeks bowls in pairs see W Richardson and D Daly play T Hayward and L Kelly, and C Pfingst and M Pfingst play J Turner and Woody. In the final of B Singles, J Bowyer will go up against J Carter with spotter R Browning. In handicap singles, Gumby and R Doyle with battle it out with spotter D Holden. G Whitfield will play R Black with spotter G Macnamara. Bowls will begin at 9.30am.

The tennis club was treated to some awesome tennis last Tuesday night when Mal Anderson and a team of professional tennis players were in Blackall for the day. They coached local children all day. The children had a blast and learnt a lot of new skills. Those that attended the day were treated to a game of singles between two of the men, followed by two men from Blackall playing a game of doubles against them. It was a great night and finished off with a sausage sizzle. Ladies are encouraged to pick up their tennis racquets and put on their shoes for a ladies tennis day. It is set to be held on August 18 from 9:30 until 11:30. Morning tea will be available and a fee of $4 will cover ball fees for the morning.

Russian roo ban hits Blackall hard

The Russian government has imposed a ban on all Australian kangaroo meat imports, out of concerns about food safety and contamination with coliform bacteria. The ban came into effect on August 1, and the full implications of the decision are now being realised. Three of the five operating companies in Blackall have been badly affected. Queenslands Minister for Primary Industries, Fisheries and Rural and Regional Queensland, Tim Mulherin, emphasised what a significant blow this is to the kangaroo industry and the communities it supports. Russia currently makes up about two thirds of the market he said. My department is working hard with other agencies in a coordinated response to ensure firstly that action is taken to speed up the lifting of the ban, and secondly to minimise the impacts on the industry and regional

Ronan named Young Legend in Tidy Towns Awards

Ronan Robinson received a regional award when the Ergon Energy Tidy Towns awards were presented in Tambo last Friday. Known as the Queenslands Young Legends award, it recognises strong youth initiative and involvement in a community or encouragement of youth involvement by a community, council or business. Ronans part in the campaign for public recognition of the late Lieutenant Edgar Thomas Towner, of Blackall, who won a Victoria and Military Cross in World War 1, came to the attention of judges when they were going about their work earlier in the year. The judges congratulated him for being responsible for this significant contribution. His award was accepted by Blackall-Tambo mayor Jan Ross on his behalf. Ronan will now line up against other regional finalists for the state wide Young Legends award to be announced at the end of August. Amongst the many awards announced on the day was the one for Windorah as western Queenslands Tidiest Town for

communities. The local kangaroo harvesting industry in Blackall supports more than 60 shooters and has been dealt a huge blow by the ban. Wild Game Resources site manager for Blackall Brett Hayman has been in the industry for 12 years and shoots St Josephs students Pagen Arnold, Annabelle Allpass between 180 and 260 and Kayla Carter get into the CSIRO workshop kangaroos each week. skins, or supply other companies He says that this would have to be with their kangaroos. one of the worst times that he can Brett says that the decision is a remember. real downfall for the industry, and On July 13 following hopes that it wont be long until announcement of the ban, Wild the ban is overturned and they Game Resources closed their doors are permitted to start supplying as around 75% of their kangaroo again. product goes to Russia.

Keep Australia Beautiful Queensland CEO, Carole Miller said Windorah impressed the judges who gave it high scores across all criteria. Windorahs regard and care for its true pioneer spirit and traditional outback hospitality certainly impresses me. Windorah is a small community with a high regard for its past and particularly for the environment and sustainability, she concluded.

Definitely warmer today. Maybe the month of August will be warmer?? It would probably be far more beneficial if it was a wet month. Another really busy week one way or another. I am still recalling with great pleasure the musical evening at the Woolscour. It was just so different! The widening effect of the embargo imposed by Russia on the importation of Australian Kangaroo meat for human consumption is being felt in communities all over the west. Harvesting of wild game for both human and pet consumption has come under the spotlight from several different agencies and to try to cope with the difficulties experienced by our trading partners in Russia. We have to ensure our product is meeting all requirements for both Australian and Russian Inspection Agencies to see the recommencement of the export of this important product from our region. I was able to be a part of a teleconference called to give an update on the situation and to discuss the issues raised which led to the embargo. Harvesting of wild game is one of our regions larger industries; it is also one which I would like to see expanded as well as valued added to in our region. The Regional Awards for the 2008 Tidy Towns were held in Tambo on Friday, July 31 with the Blackall Tambo Regional Council as hosts. CEO of Keep Australia Beautiful Carol Millar was the MC while Matt Bron, Director of Tourism Queensland based in Longreach presented the awards to the representatives of the shires and regional councils which make up the Central Area judged by Mick and Jennie Graham. The awards: the Environment Protection award - Longreach, Litter Prevention award - Bedourie, Resource Recovery award - Jundah, Heritage award - Winton, Partnerships award - Aramac, Australia Post Bush Spirit award - Birdsville and Muttaburra, Gryunphos Pump award for the use of waste water - Ilfracombe.

FROM THE MAYORS DESK

Outstanding Signage in the Channel Country - Desert Channels Queensland, Young Legends award - Ronan Robinson and accepted by the Blackall Tambo Regional Council, Outstanding Achievement award - Yaraka, Friendliest Town award Longreach, Ergon Energy Tidiest Town award - Windorah. Congratulations to Ronan Robinson on his Young Legends award. Blackall was the recipient of this award in 2007 also. To alleviate the necessity for long distance travel for these awards it was suggested that they could be held in conjunction with the Western Queensland Local Government Association Conference which does make really good sense as all shires and regional councils are represented at that event. The Blackall Tambo Regional Council, Department of Works continues with the upgrade to the Emmet Road, while in Tambo the Arthur Street enhancement is nearing completion. The Tambo Community and Cultural Centre project is in the later stages of construction. Blackall sale yards are being upgraded with repairs to the watering system in the yards and the construction of much needed new yard space. The gravel re-sheeting of the Ward road has also begun which will increase the length of the all weather section on this road by about 4 kilometers. 2009 is the Year of Astrology and the planet Mars will be the closest to the Earth, only 34,649,589 miles away, than it has been for a long long time. At the beginning of August it will rise from the East at about 10pm and reach its highest point at about 3am towards the end of August. Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point at 12.30am, a very bright star right next to the moon. It will be visible to the naked eye. The next time the planet Mars will be this close to Earth will be in the year 2287. So check it out! I doubt we will be around for the next opportunity!! Jan Ross

In the 11 years weve been the principal sponsor weve seen the enormous difference the Ergon Energy Tidy Towns program has made across the state, he added. As the principal sponsor of the Queensland Tidy Towns program, Ergon Energy is proud to partner with Keep Australia Beautiful Queensland to express our ongoing commitment to supporting the communities in which we work and live; it reflects the essence of our company towards sustainability by promoting green energy, environmental awareness and regional development in Queensland. The other outstanding achievement awards for western Queensland towns were also announced at Tambo.

Ban influences buying prices for kangaroo meat

continued from page 1 for kangaroo meat. The minimum weight for an animal has been increased to 17kg, which Brett says are a lot harder to find. And the price per kilogram has dropped to just 65 cents. Earlier in the year, for around six weeks, Brett says that they were receiving up to 85 cents per kilogram for kangaroos above 14.3kg. Neville Irwin, who supplies meat for Adelaide based company Macro Meat, says that the ban is devastating and the industry is in a bad way. A roo shooter for the last 25 years and supplier for 7, Neville has around a dozen shooters working with him. For around the last 8 weeks we have been in a lot of trouble. Neville says that the price drop to 65 cents it is the lowest that he has ever seen. You can try but you cant really make any money from that price.

We took to the streets last week to ask readers from Blackall and Tambo what they thought of the new logo for the BlackallTambo Regional Council. Here are some of their responses.
Rhonda: I dont have a problem with it. Its quite unusual but quite effective. Helen: To me it doesnt mean Blackall or Tambo. When I hear those names I think of Bottle Trees and the river. I thought theyd combine them more. Theres nothing wrong with the logo in itself. Chris: It looks like an animated car. It creates discussion. Its not a symbol of the council I think they should have had something more appropriate, something rural like cows or sheep. Leah: It doesnt say anything to me. I think they should have had something that depicts this region more. Nat: It reminds me of earth and sky, river and bush. I like the colours. A logo is a symbol of who you are this is a good one. Barb: Its like a kids drawing of a car. They could have come up with something more easy to identify. I had to be told what it was. I think most country people like something they can understand, not something so abstract. Cally: I love it! Its so new and exciting and vibrant. Keren: I absolutely hate it. I cant identify with it at all theres no western connection, no BlackallTambo connection. Maybe I just dont get modern art. Terry: Its a very positive sign that the amalgamated council is getting on with moving forward. Tess: Its not good; I cant look at it and know what it represents. Kel: I like it, its recognisable. It reminds me of when the CBA and BHP logos came out no-one knew what they meant, but you look at it and know its them. Flo: I like the old one because of its colour, it stood out. I saw the logo on the cars and thought there was a new electrician in town.

Vox Pop: Your opinion of the new Blackall-Tambo council logo?

Mary: I think it looks like a car. I cant see how it fits. The money spent was over the top. Someone here could have done better. Lyle: It looks good to me. It looks like the Barcoo River running between two towns but I dont know what the three dots are. I dont interpret it as a cultural thing. It probably means more to the traveller; locals get blas about these things. Tammy: It looks really strange. I dont see how it represents either Blackall or Tambo. Rod: Tourists are confused about it. They think its two cars having a smash. I think its a waste of good money, it doesnt represent the outback. Ozzie: I love it. Its really fresh, modern and vibrant. You dont have to see anything in it, its just a new look for council. Its a good logo. Bob: Lots of logos have cows and windmills on them Im glad they decided not to look like everyone else. Rob: I dont really like it. I dont think Blackall-Tambo when I see it. Anne: The designs excellent. I did question the colouring a straw colour would be more in touch. I think itll grow on you. Charmaine: No-one knew what the dots meant. Other than that, I dont mind it. People from away wont get it. I thought it might have been linked to the original Kargoolnah name it seems a bit Aboriginal to me. Therese: Its very disappointing. I was expecting something better. This has no meaning at all. Chris: I thought it was good, different from normal, the way it flows and the colours. Its similar to the old Tambo colours. Robyn: Im glad its a more earthy image and not the classic masculine image. Theres no point of a representational image if we dont know what our future is. Verna: Ive got nothing against the logo but I dont see how it represents Blackall and Tambo. Its not ugly or anything, just a logo. Kylea: I dont understand it. Other communities need to know what we stand for. Its a bit of scribble. Andrew: I probably stand alone but I think it is brilliant. People are trying to see cows in it but it is what it is and that is a good new image for Blackall and Tambo. James: Its fine. I suppose it is quite modern which is why a lot of people are unsure about it. George: It is a bold move by the council to take on something a little bit different. Ally: I havent seen it. What is it? Celia: It is just another one of those things that costs a lot of money and doesnt really matter. Is it going to make a difference to my life? I dont think so. Matt: I like the colours but three dots are confusing because at first glance you think they are the towns but then you wonder why there are three. Angela: I think in time it will become something that we can all identify with. I like how simple it is. Cathy: Its funky!

To the Editor - Landholders Pay the Price Again The article by Sally Cripps on the Longreach Wild Rivers Forum (Barcoo Independent 31st July 2009) highlights the spirit of cooperation exhibited at the meeting. This cooperative spirit is highly commendable but should not distract us from the serious issues surrounding the Wild Rivers Act and the proposed declaration over the Cooper Catchment. Before the 2009 state election, the Cooper Creek system was one of three Western river systems that Premier Anna Bligh announced would be declared as Wild Rivers. It is well understood that this was a political act to gain much needed Green votes rather than a decision based on science. The consequences of this political act are very serious for our community. At the recent Wild Rivers meeting in Blackall, local landowners were informed that development would be regulated in a one kilometre zone either side of a waterway, or a band two kilometres wide. Existing rights and grazing will

Gday. Friday night was buzzing in Blackall with the Arts Appreciation Night being held at the Cultural Centre. The evening started with the viewing of some very impressive art displays and a scrum-dilly-umptious meal cooked by the Blackall State School year 10 Home Economics class and their teachers. There were many wonderful acts throughout the night from piano solos, choirs, recorder club, a scene from Romeo and Juliet, a rock band, talented dancers, wakakirri and ending with a very entertaining drum line. Judging by the smiles from both adults and children this is an event which needs to be repeated every year. EDDIE

continue but future development is curtailed. Some examples of possible impacts in the two kilometre zone include: Restrictions on new development Most developments must comply with codes and will require permits irrespective of land tenure Rehabilitation of land using well established practices is restricted to work which does not disturb the soil more than 5cm Treatment of regrowth will be very limited The two kilometre zone overrides areas mapped white on a vegetation map or a PMAV Uncertainty about the use of buffel grass in the zone The Wild River mapping which has not yet commenced will protect the rivers natural values (also not yet listed) by defining High Preservation Areas (HPAs) which could be the main river channels and any nominated waterways within the catchment boundary. The wild river HPAs potentially could cover the Barcoo River and many feeder waterways, for example, Hope, Valentine,

Cattle values exceed past weeks

Boree, Dismal, Douglas Ponds and Ravensbourne creeks. After the meeting we mapped potential High Preservation Areas on our property Norwood and this mapping indicates that there would be an area of 35% minimum of our property that could be affected by this declaration. Other unanswered questions included: why the current Cooper Water Resource Plan and the Vegetation Management Act do not provide enough protection for the Barcoo and how the differences in land systems, land management and river flow between the Cooper East (above Isisford) and that of the lower Cooper where floodplain utilisation was significant would be reconciled under a Wild River declaration. I am greatly concerned that there were so few landowners at the meeting. All landowners are urged to become fully aware of the implications of wild river declarations. Information can be found at http://www.nrw.qld.gov. au/wildrivers/ The Blackall Combined Agents last week yarded a total of 3460 at their weekly fat and store sale.

Tarsiers are believed to be the smallest moneys in the world, they are found on several Southeast Asian islands including the Philippines, Celebes, Borneo, and Sumatra. They have long legs, short bodies, and rounded heads that can turn almost completely around like something out of a horror movie. Their faces are short, and their eyes which is their most striking feature, are large and protrude out of their face like golf balls. Their ears are large, membranous, and almost constantly in motion. Tarsiers are about 9-16 cm long, excluding their tail, which is about twice that length again. Their fur is thick, silky, and coloured grey to dark brown. These cute little fellows are an endangered species which means we need to look after their environment.
