The long-awaited construction of a new bridge across the Barcoo River at Blackall is due to get underway with the removal of the existing bridge scheduled for March. A Main Roads Department alliance with its commercial arm, RoadTek will undertake the project to replace the old timber bridge with a cement one which will be half a metre higher. A second part of the job will see a slight realignment and widening of the road for one kilometre towards Isisford. Alliance project manager Richard Smith said the proximity of the bridge to the town of Blackall made it a bit more complex than most jobs in the region. Initial estimates put the cost of the project at $2.4 million. Built in 1943, the old bridge is regarded as unsafe and trafc has been diverted around it for most of 2006, opening only when ooding in December and January covered the detour and made it uncrossable. Mr Smith said the work was expected to nish in August but this would depend on the weather. At this stage we plan to start demolishing the old bridge in mid

Wet conditions Pool record to Natalie at on bowling Springsure green Natalie Dendle and
Sunday February 18 saw two games of competition bowls in sets of nine ends played in pretty wet conditions. Woody Wood, playing his rst game of bowls, almost caused an upset, narrowly losing to Greg MacNamara 11-9, 8-9 and 9-6. Mick Chapman caused a surprise by beating John Bowyer 13-6 and 9-7. A social game of bowls saw Julie Blucher and Gary Whiteld defeat Rob Doyle and Col Pngst 10-7. Bowls for next Sunday will commence at 8:30 am, weather permitting. Games for the day will be sets of nine, D Holden v T Holden, T Hayward v R Doyle, J Blucher v G Swan, and M Chapman v A Cameron, while R Hayward and L Alexander will play B Singles.
Jamee Johnson travelled to Springsure over the Australia Day long weekend to compete at their annual swimming inter-club meet. Though a small club, Springsures location attracts swimmers from throughout the central highlands and Rockhampton areas, making it a very competitive meet. The carnival features 25 metre dash for cash heats, with the fastest six swimmers progressing to the nal. Natalie nished rst in the heats and then went on to take out the nal with a new pool record time of 14.46 seconds. She continued to impress the crowd by winning the perpetual 100m open freestyle trophy. Both girls excelled in their age groups, Jamee winning runner-up age champion for 12 year girls.

to late March but rain may delay that, he said. Preliminary work was undertaken last week to divert ows to the northernmost channel of the river and away from the bridge footings but a storm that afternoon dumped 42.2 mm (170 points) over the town. Water from upstream was owing through both channels this week. The new bridge will be constructed on the same location as the old one which is the reason for the demolition taking place at the start of the project. The major risk to the job is ooding, Mr Smith said. He added that every effort had been made to quarantine the project from the wet season, noting that long term weather averages had been sourced from the Bureau of Meteorology and studied in the planning stages. If the river comes up and theres no bridge, people will have to look at alternative crossing places, Richard said. Blackall shire CEO Brenda Kelly said the council had expressed concern regarding this scenario to Main Roads. Ultimately, its their project and its up to them to decide, she said.
While we in Blackall go about making our fourth year at the Barcoo Independent even better for our readers, Barcaldine is welcoming a new voice in independent media into its community. Local resident Tony Jackson has taken on the job of compiling the Barcy Bugle. The 20-page paper owes much of its format and design to Blackalls ingenuity, being printed on doublesided A3 paper and including a TV guide and crosswords. Its great to see others following on the path that Blackall has trail blazed. We wish Tony every success and urge the Barcaldine community to
Editorial
Some of you will have seen or read in the news last week that, according to Chinese tradition, we are now in the Year of the Pig. Wondering what this might mean for the world in general and Blackall in particular, I went searching on the internet for predictions and discovered that 2007 may be a relatively less peaceful year with more international conicts and struggles, leading to regional warfare, uprising and unrest. Such events, I was reassured, may bring positive changes leading to longer term benets for the future of humanity and global well-being. While the pig symbolises travelling
While Jeremy Barron is a new face at Grant Daniel and Longs Blackall branch, taking over as the new manager recently, hes no stranger to the district. He spent four years here with Elders before moving to Emerald with the company last year where he organised cattle sales. When the opportunity for a managers job came up at GDL, he was happy to ll the position. Hes also looking forward to getting back into a Blackall Magpies rugby league jersey. A new recruit to the team is GDL livestock salesman David Felsch, who has moved to Blackall from GDLs Taroom branch. He was at Dalby before that and has spent 18 months with the company in total. David was born in Casino, New South Wales, where his parents ran cattle on a property in the district.

of life at the hands of Anika Cameron, who has turned it into an upmarket eatery. Opening in early February and doing a brisk trade in good coffee, home baked cakes and lunches, the National Bistro is a dream realised for Anika. After undertaking a pharmacy traineeship with Ian Kinsey and working in Toowoomba, she decided she wanted to come back home to family and friends. Our city cousins have ne dining in a great atmosphere, and I wanted to provide that same experience, she said. Elements of the old bank can be identied by the welltrained local eye, such as the front counter which is now the servery. Future expansion plans include turning the old strongroom into a lounge area. Anikas rst weeks in the business have been busier than she ever anticipated. She has enlisted the help of sister Kahli and mother Kerrie, as well as Tara Carolan, to help run the bistro and is experimenting with opening hours of 9 am to 4 pm seven days a week. Breakfasts are offered between 8.30 and 10 am on weekends. Ill trial these times for a while so I can nd out what works best, she said, adding that evening meals were also being planned.

Blackall to join Shelleys service Clean Up campaign recognised Shelley Haughton has received again
Clean Up Australia Day is once again being hosted by Blackall Shire Community Services on Sunday, March 4 as Australias largest annual environmental campaign gears up for another record breaking year. As part of Clean Up Australia Day 2006, the council and local volunteers were part of the biggest clean up Australia Day campaign. Across the country around 700,000 volunteers removed more than 9,000 tonnes of rubbish at a record breaking 7527 sites. Some of the more unusual nds from around the country were a slippery dip, a cash box from a church, a Christmas tree, doona and blanket, underwear and a mattress, $100 note and a Hills Hoist . The most common rubbish items found were plastic bottles, glass bottles, soft drink cans, and cigarette butts. Volunteers can join in the Clean Up Australia Day by registering at the Memorial Park between 8.15 and 8.30 am on March 4. The clean up will nish back at the Memorial Park at 11 am. For further details contact Lisa Kings on 4657 4440. a 10-year long service award from Queensland Transport. She has been the crossing supervisor or lollipop lady at the Blackall State School for almost 12 years. The award was presented on behalf of Queensland Transport by school principal Bobby Harding. Always smiling and happy to have a chat, Shelley said the most important part of her job was to get the kids across safely and teach the little ones the road rules. She said there had been a few close calls over the years with road rage, threats from impatient drivers and several cars that have nearly wiped her out. However, despite having to stand in the hot sun and occasionally the rain, she is back on task for 2007. Shelleys long-term dedication to the job has been appreciated by all, according to Mr Harding, and she is to be commended for ensuring the safety of children and adults that cross the busy road.

But council would advise operators of their conditions to use the showground, including no camping in the weeks before and after the show and the campdraft, and that permits would have to be displayed on caravans so council ofcers could check their bona des.

Blackalls green-thumbed residents are planning a busy year as Garden Club gets underway again with lots to look forward to. The rst garden visit for the year will be on March 7 when Lynette Davison opens up her gates to club members for the morning. In April the club will host ABC TV gardening personality Colin Campbell and an Outback Gardens Adventure bus tour, which will be visiting a number of gardens in the Blackall area and staying overnight in town. The club is then taking part in Blackalls Heartland Festival in May with workshops and tours planned for the community. Lindy Hardie is the groups convenor for 2007, taking over from Kylie Banks, and is keen to hear from new members interested in joining Garden Club activities.

Blackalls abundant water supply was a great attraction for newcomers Ataum and Jolene Martin and their family. As keen gardeners they found the water restrictions in Longreach, where they spent the last nine months, to be too hard on plants. The lack of water is their downfall, Jo said. Too many of our plants died. Ataum is the new gardener at McLean Place and has a degree in horticulture. The couple cant wait to take delivery of 2000 tubestock plants in coming weeks and start planting. They plan to sell plants as well. A growing household is also a feature of their life with six excitable children to bring up. Two of them have started school at the Blackall State School. Jo has already made herself known around town with her camera, covering recent events for the Barcoo Independent and the

BRUCELLOSIS Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria of the genus Brucella. The most common source of infection is from feral pigs but different strains of Brucellosis can also be found in cattle, sheep, goats and working dogs. Humans can become infected by bacteria passing through broken skin or inhalation. The incubation period is usually one to two months, this is the time from initial exposure to rst appearance of symptoms. There is no evidence of it being passed from person to person. The symptoms which can come on sudden or gradually are continuous or intermittent fever, headache, weakness, drenching sweats, chills, joint pains, weight loss and generalised aches. This may last for several days, months or even a year or more if not adequately treated. Effective treatment usually involves a six-week course of antibiotics prescribed by your doctor, while control involves the elimination of the disease in animals. Relapses can occur in 5 per cent of treated cases. There is no human vaccine for protection against brucellosis. The most important thing to do is to take precautions when coming into contact with animals. Cover all cuts with a waterproof dressing. Wear gloves, overalls and face mask when slaughtering animals or handling carcasses. Thoroughly wash hands and arms in soapy water after handling animals or carcasses. Take particular care when handling or disposing of birth products. Wash off all urine, faeces, blood and clean all working areas. Minimise dust and rodents in slaughter areas and in animal housing areas. Do not slaughter or cut up feral pig carcasses in areas also used for handling meat for human consumption.

The Kids Brekkie Club (KBC), which was trialled during the last semester of 2006 by the combined churches of Blackall and the Blackall State School, will begin again on Thursday, March 3. The initial objective of the club is to encourage children of different age groups to interact socially while having a healthy breakfast. KBC will continue every Thursday of the school week during 2007, and it is anticipated that an afternoon program will be initiated during the semester. Promoters say that out-of-school-time programs and activities can constitute a vital set of complementary learning supports for children. Non-school supports, with school input and guidance, for children and families can enhance and promote learning and development by complementing school day efforts. Plans are also underway to have a holiday program organised for primary school students during the June/July break. Wes and Di Fittell from the Christian interdenominational organization OAC Ministries will be conducting this. Well known for their youth camps and school programs, Wes and Di have been conducting these programs at the Blackall State School for around 12 years. A bulletin will be sent to parents when plans have been nalised.
