Dr Viney Joshi from the BlackallHospital and Black Stump MedicalCentre has been named Presidentof ADTOA (Australian DoctorsTrained Overseas Association).
The announcement was madeearlier this month following theretirement of Andrew Schwartzfrom the position.
Dr Joshi, who has been Chairmanof the ADTOA Queensland boardfor around 4 years, says thathaving been approached bymembers of the national board he
was more than pleased to acceptthe position of President of theorganisation.
I feel that it is important thatthe position has been given to adoctor, an internationally-trainedgraduate; one that has beenthrough all the teething problemsthat IMGs (international medicalgraduates) go through. Trained in Delhi, India, Dr
Joshi has beena practicingdoctor for 27 years in India,the Middle East,parts of Africaand Australia. Hemoved to Australiain 1995 and hasbeen working inBlackall for 12years.
One of his mainconcerns with
the system is thelack of medicalsupport given to internationally-trained medical graduates in theirrst years in Australia.
As temporary residents, they arenot entitled to Medicare.
Dr Joshi says that this issomething he hopes to change.
It is a little bit hypocriticalthat these doctors are working
for the Medicare system, but theythemselves are not entitled toaccess that same system.
Other than the occasional tripto Canberra, Dr Joshi said thattaking on the role of ADTOAPresident will not mean he is awayfrom Blackall any more frequentlythan he currently is; just a lot moretime spent on the telephone.
BLACKALLs Josh McErleanand his family recently travelledto Perth to attend the SchoolSport Australia SwimmingChampionships, the largest eventon the National School SportProgram. The championships were held
from September 12 to 18, withmore than 800 students fromacross Australia, aged from 10 to
19 years, competing in a range ofswimming events. Josh competed in four events;
50 metre breast stroke, 50 metrebuttery, 50 metre freestyle relayand swam the buttery leg in the50 metre medley relay.
In all events Josh broke hispersonal best times and in the 50metre freestyle relay Josh and histeam came second, winning thesilver medal.
School Sport Australia SwimmingConvener Simon Warren said thatthe swimmers in attendance were
the best young swimmers in thecountry.
SSA Executive Ofcer SteveKalend described the competitionas erce between all competitors,as many of the swimmers wereevenly matched.

A few spots of rain to report, just enoughto remind us that it still does rain! Certainlyvery pleased no further heavy dust in theair for us however a bit of dust is not toobad when you consider the devastation andloss of life in Samoa after the tsunami andthe earthquake on the island of Sumatra inIndonesia. We are extremely fortunate.This past weekend proved to be one of social events with
the visit to our region by the Goondiwindi Garden Club. Thetour visited country and town gardens, eight in total. Thebenet to our community is considerable from a nancialpoint of view as well as from the promotional point of viewas word of mouth is always the best promotion. I knowthe visitors went home extremely tired but delighted withall they had experienced over the days they were here. Mycongratulations to the gardeners of the region; I believe thegardens were outstanding.The National Rugby League nal played in Sydney saw the
Melbourne Storm prevail over the Parramatta Eels in a hardfought game. After a season of being in the top few teams the
win was well deserved.The football season is over for the year, I was extremely
disappointed to have missed the Blackall Junior RugbyLeague Club presentation ceremony held at the Blackallshowgrounds multipurpose centre on Sunday, October 4 at9am. The conclusion of the season is the highlight of the year.
The club ofcials are able to report to the members, presentawards to the players who have benetted from the trainingsessions as well as from the experience of playing the game.Good sportsmanship, team spirit, friendship, activity andloads of fun would be high on the list of advantages. Parentstoo are to be congratulated as they are prepared to give uptheir time to ensure the budding players are at the gameand attending training sessions. I am sure the teams playedvery well and very fairly, my congratulations to all. The quest to have a further meeting with Queensland
Transport and Main Roads Minister Rachael Nolan isprogressing to what I hope will be a successful conclusion. I
will keep you posted as to the developments however PLEASEWRITE and COMPLAIN about this most inadequate airlineservice. Write to Qantas, add weight to our protestations.WE DESERVE FAR BETTER THAN THIS!!
Work is commencing on the new Blackall wash-downfacility at the saleyards. This will be a great improvementall up. Pavement repairs are being carried out on theLandsborough Highway on the Blackall-Barcaldine section.Work on the Emmett Road also continues to advance. The
Tambo branch of the Blackall-Tambo Regional Council isengaged in repair of ood damage to the Mt Playfair Road.
We have welcomed Mr Dean Kneebone to the Blackallofce on a temporary appointment, while the Manager ofCorporate and Community Services and the Coordinator ofthe Tambo Multipurpose Centre are on leave. Dean brings a
wealth of diverse experience to our Council workforce.On Tuesday, October 13 the Blackall Club is hosting a free
informal and fun information session with key speaker FrankTeam on key strategies and skills for career and employmentpathways. Phone 4657 4711 for further information.
As the dry weather continues, Climate Risk StateCoordinator, Lew Markey of Primary Industries and Fisherieshas stated that IDP declarations are available to all drought-
declared primary producers operating enterprises involvedin primary production. Eligibility for an IDP declaration isbased on a variety of factors. Application forms can be foundat the Queensland Primary Industries and Fisheries website
www.dpi.qld.gov.au by following the links under Drought.I am praying for the strength to get to the rain which,
please God, will not be too long away now. There is a lot ofvery dry country in the state of Queensland now!

The garden at McLean Place has been revitalizedwith the addition of a mural by Brisbane-based artistChristian Grifths. Christian designed and paintedthe 4 x 4 metre mural on the wall beside the famousBushmans Hotel. The wall is used for the boostersystem for the new extension at McLean Place. The concept is based on an imaginative outlook
contrasted with the traditional bush or outbackscene.
Christian used acrylic and aerosol paints to bringthe formal garden and water feature to life in theMcLean Place garden.
Funded by the Blackall Tambo Regional Council,the mural was painted over three days and can beviewed from the ramp leading to the new extension.
Barcoo Retirement Village Chairman Owen
Stockwell said the mural has created a tranquilatmosphere in the outside area for residents andstaff to enjoy.

Are aliens attacking the Sea of Japan?Not exactly, these gigantic blobs are unwelcomevisitors from another place. These wiggly, pinkishgiants called Nomuras jellysh can weigh up to
204 kilograms thats as heavy as a male lion andthey're swarming by the millions.These large sea creatures are normally found offthe coasts of China and Korea, but occasionallydrift east into the Sea of Japan to feed on tinyorganisms called plankton. But now one hundredtimes the usual number of jellysh is invadingJapanese waters.The shermen's nets are getting broken byhundreds of Nomura's. The jellysh crush, slime,and poison valuable sh in the nets, such as thetuna and salmon that the shermen rely on tomake a living.No-one knows for sure what's causing this jellyshtrafc jam. It's possible that oceans heated byglobal warming are creating the perfect jellysh
breeding ground. Another theory is that overshing has decreased the numbers of some sh,which may allow the jellies to chow down withoutcompetition for food. For now, all the shermencan do is design special nets to try to keepthe jellies out. Some of them hope to turn thecatastrophe into cash by selling jellysh snacks.Peanut butter and jellysh, anyone?
Fast Facts
* Baby Nomura's jellysh change from thesize of a grain of rice to the size of awashing machine in six months or less.
* Jellysh are 95% water.* Jellysh aren't actually sh, they'reinvertebratesanimals without backbones
