The Blackall Magpies bowed out of the 2011 Central West Rugby League competition after a hard fought minor semi-final against the Ilfracombe Scorpions on Saturday night, going down 22-8. Blackall fielded a very strong but not full strength side, missing the services of Matthew (Bear) Bailey, Clayton OBrien, Tim Ludgate, Matthew Wemyss, Trent (The Big Man) McKinlay and Mitchell Horsten, all unavailable due to injury. The Magpies went into the game full of confidence and with a vocal group of supporters backing them, showed the home side from the kick off it wasnt going to be a walk in the park. At half time the score was 8-all, with Brett Hayman scoring a try, Matt Mclane converting and then kicking a penalty goal just before half time. The second half didnt start quite so well for the Magpies. With a penalty count stacking up against them and the bounce of the ball seeming to go the Scorpions way, they put on two lucky but quick tries that put them on the front foot. To the Magpies credit they never gave up and the contest was as physical at the start as it was at the end of the game. The Players Player award went to Brett Hayman who again had an excellent game. Nigel Hartley, Gavin Wemyss and Paul Allen also played strongly. Every player to wear the black and white this season showed pride and passion in the club and their town, and can hold their heads high and look forward to a bigger and better season in 2012. Magpie players and committee members were grateful for the support of sponsors, volunteers and supporters throughout what was a very successful first season back in the central west competition. Special thanks went to coach Ralph McLeod and partner Kim, fitness trainer Bruce Trickett and team manager Ben (Banjo) Avery, without whom there would be no

Art is the word in Blackall this week, with the town playing host to artists attending the Symposium on Public Art in the Non Urban Context being held on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. A symposium marks the first time public art in the bush has been examined by artists, cultural workers and policy makers and will explore the value and success factors of large scale public art in rural areas, with presentations from some of the artists who created Blackalls public artworks, including Natalie Billings, Bodo Muche, Milynda Rogers Robert Bridgewater, William Eicholtz and Fred White. Artist Natalie Billing said she thought the symposium was a wonderful event for rural Queensland. To have that sort of exposure to contemporary art in a rural area is just fantastic, Ms Billing said. Symposium spokesperson Robyn Adams said the symposium would hopefully help draw attention to the role of public art in regional areas.

The whole thing is about exploring different ways that art can tell our stories, Robyn said. In advance of the symposium, visiting artists created ephemeral sculptures at the Barcoo River as part of a collaborative creative project entitled GrassMudFlood, using natural materials such as mud, grass and sticks on Tuesday and Wednesday. Artist William Eicholtz said working in a natural environment was going to be a different experience and would hopefully have a positive effect on the artworks. Were going out of our studios and into quite a different environment, Mr Eicholtz said. We thought we would bring the project right down to the source so that it gets us close to the water, the mud, the grass, he said. Its hard to know how big it will be because were hoping theres some sort of community involvement in our project.

Our thanks and good wishes went with them on their long journey from Port Headland to Canberra. The Symposium on Public Art in Non Urban Contexts is about to get underway. We are indeed fortunate to welcome artists Robert Bridgewater, William Eicholtz, Fredrick White, Bodo Muche, Jenny Scott, Richard Moffat, Natalie Billings, our very own Bob Wilson, Milynda Rogers and indigenous artists from Birdsville and Bedourie, Joyce Crombie and Jean Barr.

Sally said she thought the current government had forgotten what life was like for country people and were wasting money.

The public art symposium being held in Blackall this week will be captured on film with Alice Springs video technician David Nixon stepping behind the camera to document the event. Mr Nixon is an experienced video jockey and technician and has been hired to capture video footage of the symposium, the GrassMudFlood creation process and the Blackall public artworks. Mr Nixon is currently a virtualisation project officer at Desert Knowledge Australia and has previously worked in freelance film production, created television commercials, filmed corporate videos for tourism companies and worked with artists. Mr Nixon said he moved
away from television commercials in favour of creating videos for tour companies after becoming disillusioned with advertising. I didnt feel I was generating any good karma while I was working in television, trying to get people to buy things that we basically dont need, Mr Nixon said. Mr Nixon said he was happy to be filming the Blackall art symposium as it combined two of his filming interests, travel and art. It was plain to me that art can be central to tourism, Mr Nixon said. I wholeheartedly agree with the concept of putting Video technician David Nixon at work filming for the documentary of the art symposium. art into the landscape.

and to resubmit in the next round which closes on the 28th October, 2011. Minister for the Arts Rachel Nolan said RADF was Australias only locally-delivered regional arts grants program. In 2011-2012, the Queensland Government allocation to RADF is $2.047 million with another $1.5 million from 55 Queensland councils, meaning more than $3.5 million is available for arts projects across the state, Ms Nolan said. From its beginnings in 1991, RADF now supports more than 3000 arts and cultural projects each year in communities across Queensland. The Regional Arts Development Fund is a partnership between Blackall Tambo Regional Council and the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland to support local arts and culture. The successful and long-running RADF program gives communities the flexibility to shape their own arts and cultural priorities.

The Blackall Tambo Regional Council has resolved to apply for a licence to rebroadcast digital television in Tambo following a meeting held last week. Over 50 people attended the digital TV conversion meeting held in Tambo last Thursday night with councillors, business owners and residents discussing rebroadcast options and the Viewer Access Satellite Television (VAST) system. In the recent budget, council allocated $80,000 to go towards the provision of digital television in Tambo, with the consensus from the meeting that council should apply for the necessary licence. CEO Ken Timms said there were lots of questions at the meeting with many people still not fully understanding how the VAST system would work, with the majority in favour of rebroadcasting. Mr Timms said applying for a licence was only the first step in finding a solution to community concerns. Until we get the licence approved, it is useless going out and buying $80,000 worth of equipment, Mr Timms said. If the council rebroadcasts the digital signal, residents will receive only ABC, Seven Central, Imparja and SBS, compared with the 16 channels available using the VAST system. One concern raised at the meeting was the idea that if the council were to apply for a licence to broadcast from the tower as they do now, the residents would lose the right to apply for the
Satellite Subsidy Scheme (SSS) associated with VAST, but it was clarified that an application would not affect individuals eligibility for the scheme. The SSS is only available to one subsidy per residence and only till 2 October 2011 even though the switchover is not until December 2013. People with more than one TV who go to the VAST service will have to install additional cabling and set-top boxes at their own expense while the scheme is not available to businesses. Anyone moving to Tambo after the cut-off date will have to pay the full cost of installing a whole system themselves if they wish to receive television. Anyone moving out of town owns their system and can take it with them with concerns raised that this may disadvantage teachers, police or others professions who are constantly being transferred. Eligible households who receive the subsidy will pay a predetermined co-payment of $220 directly to the installer who will then be paid $550 by the scheme. Surrounding shires that have applied for rebroadcast licences have not yet received them, while a business in Tambo that wrote to Federal Minister for Communications Stephen Conroy waited three months for the Assistant Secretary, Technical Implementation, Digital Switchover Taskforce to reply.
