BLACKALL SHOW RESULTS INSIDEMore to follow next week

Last Friday night, the Prince of Wales hosted a karaoke night with all door takings donated towards sending 11 Blackall State School students to Brisbane in July as part of a dance troupe.

The students have been auditioned via DVD and have been selected to perform as part of the Creative Generation State Schools Onstage 2011 variety show at the Brisbane Convention Centre.

Rehearsals have begun using a teaching DVD sent out by the organisers, with Naomi Dolinski rehearsing the students, supported by Birrali Schefe from Roma.

Building on dance skills

developed as students of Dance Blackall over the previous years, the primary students will perform two dances and the secondary students will perform three dances.

There will be four performances of the show over two days which include vocalists, a massed choir, featured dancers, symphony orchestra, drama and massed dance performances.

Tickets for the event are on sale now through Ticketek.

Fundraising by dancers and their parents so far has included a cake stall, raffles, dagwood dog stall and the karaoke night, with

further raffles and catering in the pipeline.

Trip organiser Alison Mobbs said it was wonderful for Blackall students to have opportunities to experience being part of a large scale performance with other young people in Brisbane.

“So many of our young people struggle with settling in to the urban life of university. Experiences like these open their eyes up to what to expect and what the world has to offer,” Alison said.

It is hoped that the group will be able to access PCAP funding to assist with transport.

Karaoke for a cause at the Prince of Wales

Kellie Harlow, Toni McErlean, Helen Hansen & Kym Hancock gave their best performance at the karaoke night.

Dance teacher Naomi Dolinski was pleased with the turn out for the event.

From the Editor

Regionalism and all it encompasses is the thrust of all governments, state and federal. The Blackall Tambo Regional Council is not immune to the forces exerted by these two spheres of government.

The Blackall Tambo Regional Council is a member of a regional body, the Remote Area Planning and Development Board which meets monthly by teleconference and face to face twice per year. The RAPAD board which has seven member councils is highly regarded by both state and Federal Governments.

The board has placed great emphasis on strategically based data and submissions for the betterment of the councils in the Central West Region with success in gaining some notable extra funding for the inter-linking road network. The submission was a collaborative effort by the Transport and Main Roads Department, Out Back Regional Roads Groups and RAPAD. Currently this submission is with the federal government and we may be fortunate enough to have them match the state government funding of 20 million dollars over five years. Skilling the Outback is also a division of RAPAD, being an accredited training organisation which will be of great assistance for those in need of training to enhance their skills.

An historic meeting took place on April 28 in Blackall when the Blackall Tambo Regional Council and the Barcaldine Regional Council met for an informal discussion on issues which mutually affect us such

as roads, tourism, pest management, digital TV issues and waste management. While the meeting was informal by agreement there was an opportunity to agree to hold a further meeting in late September. I foresee a mutually beneficial outcome from these meetings for both regions.

The public announcement of the recent large rises in valuations, set by the state government Department of the Environment and Resource Management, for both Blackall and Tambo have been

unprecedented to say the very least. Council has a revenue policy in which there are deferential rate categories to ensure urban landholders are rated at an equable, sustainable and accountable level to ensure that the cost of living in both towns is affordable and that Council only generates sufficient funds for its needs. In the past council has used the CPI as the indicator for rises.

Should individual landholders have an issue with their valuations there is an objections process through the Department of Environment and Resource Management which is available to them. Council has a map on display, of all valuation changes for your perusal.

The Heartland Festival program for the Festival of 2011 has been published. “Lighting Up the West” is the theme and I am sure this will happen over the time of the festival. Running from May 27 through to June 5, there will be plenty to see and do and lots of fun entertainment.

--Jan Ross

FROM THE MAYOR’S DESK

Coming into the busiest part of the year the Blackall social calendar has positively exploded with events.

It is therefore important that I get plenty of notice of what’s happening around the district so that I can make sure not to miss anything out.

With tourist season picking up, there’s also many visitors coming through, including a few notable

ones. Author Sue Williams popped by the Visitor Information Centre last week while researching her latest book.

Terri Irwin was also in town, making a brief appearance at Outback Chemist on Friday morning.

If there’s anything in the paper to which you would like to respond, I strongly encourage you to write a letter to the editor. I have been

enjoying starting to receive letters as I feel they are an important part of any community newspaper. This is a local newspaper and therefore it is important to feature local opinions. Sometimes it’s only through hearing from community members that we can fully understand how significant an issue is with the Blackall Tambo district.

Mothers’ Day morning tea Despite overcast skies, the

Mothers’ Day morning tea held by Dance Blackall on Sunday was a success with over 70 people braving the threatening weather to attend the event.

The morning tea was held in the Ward family’s garden on Gidyea Street from 9:30am-12pm to raise money for costumes for the dance group’s end of year concert.

Guests enjoyed a wide array of cakes, slices and biscuits provided by the mothers of dance students and raffles were held with prizes donated by Hansen Helicopters, Les and Christine Williams of the Coolibah Motel and Stuart and Pauline Goodwin.

Alison Mobbs said she was pleased with the attendance at the event as it would greatly help

in raising the funds needed to support the dance group.

“People have come out in support despite the weather which shows the community spirit in Blackall,” Alison said.

“Rain, hail or shine, they’ll come out to support a community event,” she said.

Workshop participants will mash up the poems with spoken word, images and maps from the Blackall library to create entries for the national LibraryHack competition.

I understand that Desert Fish by Cherise Saywell is classified as a young adult novel, however if you are looking for chick lit- think again!

This is a beautifully written debut novel about a young girl, Gilly, and her longing for a more fulfilling life. Set in the 1970s, Gilly lives in a small country town in Australia and is inhibited by lack of education or the opportunity of employment in a drought stricken landscape. The example for any happiness is not set by her parents- good- time Kerry and manipulative Maureen.

When Pete, golden-skinned and kind, comes into their home, Gilly stubbornly clings to his coming in the way drought-breaking rains can

bring life, and fish, to desert pools.

There are edgy, beautiful descriptions of Gilly and the way in which she becomes an adult throughout the novel. Each character in this story is easily recognisable as someone we have known. They are deftly described and the motivations for their actions logical.

Desert Fish impressed me with its maturity of outlook in that though the problems were analysed clearly, the author never tried to give a cosy or unreal solution.

Would I recommend this book? Yes, if you enjoy well written themes that engage your intelligence. Cherise Saywell is an author of great promise.

Western Queensland art patrons will be excited by the news that this year’s Heartland Festival art exhibition in Blackall has attracted interest from a range of artists who haven’t participated before.

Exhibition convenor Jill Taylor said a number of these were people who were well known in the art world, such as Dubbo’s “boot polish artist”, Amber Martin.

Amber is well known for mixing boot polish with other media to capture the essence of rural life.

The talented 35-year-old mum has also been commissioned as a war artist for the Australian Army for the past two years.

With over 200 artworks promised when entries closed last week, organisers are stunned with the response they have received.

Last year the event attracted nearly 170 works, meaning numbers are growing steadily each year.

“It confirms the reputation of the Heartland Art Exhibition as one of the must-see cultural events in the region,” Jill said.

“This is the place to buy quality original paintings and sculptures.”

Another exciting development for this year’s exhibition is the number of sculptures being sent in for competition and sale.

“The 3D section has attracted works in glass, stone and stainless steel, silver and clay,” Jill said.

“It gives patrons a great variety to choose from over

the days of the exhibition.”The first glimpse people will get of the works

entered, and the first opportunity to buy, will be opening night on Friday, May 27.

Beginning at 6pm, the evening is the opening event for the 2011 Blackall Heartland Festival.

The night, and the festival itself, will be opened by patron Gina Fairfax.

She will be busy earlier in the day choosing the Patron’s Prize, which will be presented on the night, along with the announcements of winners in the various competition sections.

There will also be an opportunity to take tickets in a raffle of an Auckland harbour boat scene done in watercolour and pen by feature artist Cees Sliedrecht, as well as another of a handcrafted Marshal Milne necklace.

The exhibition will remain open at the Blackall Cultural Centre until June 2, opening between 10 am and 3 pm each day for a gold coin entry donation.

The opening night entrance fee is $15 and there will be substantial finger food and a bar operating.

For further information contact Jill Taylor on 0448 154 275.

St Joseph’s Primary School is getting students into books with the start of reading mornings this term.

The first reading morning was held last Tuesday, with them to continue every second Tuesday throughout the term.

Parents and community are invited to come up to school on these reading mornings with a book, newspaper or magazine and just spend 20 minutes from 8:40am - 9:00am reading.

Teacher and literacy mentor Clare Barron said the aim of the mornings is to show students that reading isn’t only a school task.

“Our hope is that students will come to love, or even like, reading and not see it as just a school thing,” Clare said.

“We are aiming to encourage the students to see that reading is a fun past time and that reading is used by everyone including our mums and dads.”

Reading mornings started because of St Joseph’s involvement in the National Partnerships Program.

St Joey’s students get reading The Isolated Children’s Parents’

Association is still pursuing the state government for a decision on whether Year Seven will be moved into secondary school.

This was one of the proposals made in the 2010 green paper titled A Flying Start for Queensland Children, and was rejected by delegates at the 2010 ICPA state conference in Charters Towers.

Queensland ICPA president Lorraine McGinnis said the only word from government on the matter was that they were not making any decision at this stage.

“If they are going to go ahead we want to see the changes properly resourced,” she said. “We have concerns about what it will mean for small schools losing another cohort of students, and children having to live away from home at an earlier age.”

Ms McGinnis and the state ICPA council met at Isisford for their annual midyear catch-up on the weekend, hosted by the Yaraka-Isisford ICPA branch.

Blackall branch members Sally Cripps, Anita Dennis and Sally Campbell joined councillors for dinner on Saturday night to hear updates on various topics, such as universal access to kindergarten, the effect of the NBN rollout, and

the need for increases in admin staff for teaching principals.

The other issue at the top of the organisation’s agenda was the changing of the Priority Country Area Program to the Rural and Remote Education Access Program at the end of 2011.

Ms McGinnis said ICPA had had three very favourable meetings with the statewide implementation team to date, but they were still to do the funding modelling.

“We believe future funding plans have been based on 2008 school submissions, and don’t take into account how schools benefitted from area projects,” Ms McGinnis said.

“We are asking schools, once they know what their funding will be in the latter part of the year, to tell us how they feel about their allocation.

“We want to know whether they can still fund the things they did in the past, and undertake new programs.”

Ms McGinnis added that schools close to the east coast were now included in the program, and ICPA would be keeping a close eye to make sure that the funding wasn’t spread too thinly for the truly remote.

Year seven move still on state ICPA agenda

Blackall ICPA secretary Anita Dennis enjoyed dinner with federal and state ICPA councillors Peter and Paula Heelan from Clermont at the ICPA state council dinner in Isisford on the weekend.

There are several workshops coming up in the near future across the western district. RCS held an Applied Grazing workshop in Emerald from May 9-12 and a Ruminant Nutrition workshop on May 13, also at Emerald. The Qld Government is considering a financial management workshop to be held on June 8, with more details available soon whilst Westpac is planning a financial management workshop.

MLA have offered to run local workshops if they have the numbers. Other presenters such as RCS may do so as well. Anyone interested should contact the council EDO on [email protected].

A wide range of government business assistance measures were outlined at a workshop on April 7. More details of these will be summarised over the next few weeks in the Barcoo Independent. Many of these government programs are not all that relevant for the size and nature of businesses in the central West, as has been frequently pointed out to agency representatives. However business owners are urged to look carefully at what is available.

The Regional Roadmap from Regional Development Australia is now available on the internet, see http://www.rdafcw.com.au/regional-plans-.html.

A key issue here is that projects

not included in this roadmap will probably not get Commonwealth funding. However, just because a project is in the list doesn’t mean it will get funded.

Projects to be funded via the new Regional Development Australia Fund need comprehensive business plans and need to show how the project will benefit the wider region. For a list of projects advanced by Councils in the region, look at the Six Pillars component of the Roadmap.

This Roadmap is Edition One and it will be reviewed annually. The community is urged to participate in workshops and other activities to be organised later in the year.

Even cane toads have uses in the gardening practices of Leonie Shanahan and people who attend her sustainable gardening workshop during the Blackall Heartland Festival will find out all about that and more.

Known as a pioneer in the development of edible gardens, Leonie will have lots of information on topics such as compost and worm farms, the design aspects of companion planting, and food as medicine throughout the day at The Worm Turns healthy gardening workshop.

She has a passion for health and decided to change the eating habits of children with positive actions by setting up Edible School Garden programs in schools, giving children hands on experience.

Leonie has now set up 20 schools in the Sunshine Coast area and has taught and changed the eating habits of thousands of students.

Leonie said her goal was simple. “I realised early on that if children grow it, they will eat it! I believe there is an urgent need to spread this gardening knowledge in order to improve the health of our kids – the next generation.”

Workshop organiser Lindy Hardie is getting excited about the day, which takes place on Tuesday, May 31, firstly at the CWA Hall then at the home of Jim and Jill Taylor.

After Leonie runs through the ideas behind permaculture and organic gardening the workshop will move to 14 Bedford Street for a healthy lunch and a practical demonstration of ‘no-dig gardening’.

Attendees will see how to create a compost heap that should be ready in 18 days.

The $25 entry fee will give people a sample bag full of vege seeds, bulbs, some healthy snacks and

information sheets, as well as morning tea, lunch and attendance at the workshop.

Copies of Leonie’s book, titled Eat Your Garden, will also be available on the day.

This book is the culmination of years of questions from children, parents, teachers and other gardening professionals, and those answers put down on paper for all to read and learn from.

“Leonie speaks at many garden expos, shows and garden club outings so this is a great opportunity for us to learn from one of the best,” Lindy said.

“Far from opening a can of worms, the day promises lots of enlightening and interesting ideas.”

Lindy is taking bookings for the workshop – please ring 4657 5974 to reserve your place.

25 9 7 12 6 7 Department of Environment & Resource Management issued valuations on 3 May 2011 to each land holder in the Blackall-Tambo Regional Council. For more than 70 years, the ‘unimproved value’ methodology was used in Queensland as the basis to determine statutory

land valuations. Since the introduction of the Land Valuation Act 2010 (the Act) in September 2010 the statutory land valuation system has changed to include two valuation methodologies:

Site value for non-rural land Unimproved value for rural land

Annual valuations issued were assessed using the two different methodologies and will take effect on 30 June 2011.The site value methodology is already used in other Australian jurisdictions and is more aligned with market value, making the valuation for non-rural land simpler and easier to understand

Site Value reflects what the land would be expected to sell for on the date of valuation in its ‘current’ condition, including site improvements such as leveling, filling, or drainage works that have been carried out. This methodology is used to value all non-rural land.

Unimproved value reflects what the land would be expected to sell for on the date of valuation in its ‘unimproved’ condition. It excludes site improvements such as leveling, filling, or drainage works that have been carried out. This methodology is used to value rural land

Valuations are on display at both offices of Blackall-Tambo Regional Council from 3 May 2011 to 1 August 2011.

Positions Filled: Tina Nilon started on the 18 April as the new Tambo Multipurpose Centre Coordinator Elizabeth McDonald started on the 18 April as the new Tambo Multipurpose Centre Administration Officer Clifford Means started on the 18 April as the new Plumber Murray Hilton started on the 3 May as the new Manager of Business Enterprise

LETTER TO THE EDITORI wish to voice my support for

some sort of compromise being reached by whatever means, to the impasse that Barron Agencies has in gaining access to conducting business on appropriate days at the Blackall Sales Yards.The missing ‘vested interest’ not mentioned here is the people of Blackall, who own the Blackall Saleyard Complex and it must be understood that the Council really only act as custodians for a public asset that should be for the advantage of the whole community.

Whilst I myself don’t use the facilities, apart from stealing a bit of manure occasionally, I think you will find that the community of Blackall would rightly expect this facility to be available for fair trade for all as long as they can offer fair and reasonable business practices and have a commitment to Blackall, and let the vendors and buyers make their own decision as to who, what and where they give their own respective support.

I don’t think anyone could argue that Jeremy and Clare Barron and their children do not

have a commitment to Blackall. Does the argument come back to certain groups trying to protect their own business (for which I don’t blame them, because all businesses rightfully protect their own interest), but really to the people of Blackall that can not be a consideration, leave that to the competitive environment.

Unless there is a registered lease over the facility, then the council must work to a resolution of this impasse and due loyalty and respect should be given to someone who is willing to invest back into our community.

Over the years I have had total confidence in Blackall’s future, to the extent that I have purchased when nobody wanted to purchase real estate. That is now proving to be a very wise and profitable investment. No business or group of people have the exclusive right to any facility in Blackall except under a legal binding lease that might have been in existence before this impasse came about. I would be correct in observing that never has anyone purchased the right to conduct any business

from the people of Blackall, so don’t expect the people of Blackall to guarantee any exclusive business opportunities. Just because an understanding and arrangement has worked before doesn’t mean it will continue to do so. The people of Blackall own this facility and the Council must act to get the best return for Blackall without giving favour to what might be the current status quo.

Jeremy has given to community organizations like the Blackall Senior Rugby League and Clare has given loyal service as a teacher at our local school, therefore Blackall must repay this loyalty and demand a resolution to this impasse post haste.

While fully understanding the existing businesses rightfully working to protect their own business models, the saleyards is Blackall’s asset, so I urge all parties to work to some compromise to ensure we all can feel confident in our shared future. The old saying, “There’s no friends in business” holds true, but we must help nurture those that try.
