Charity ride ticks all boxes

Everyday banking Home loans Credit cards Personal loans Business accounts and lending

By Kylie Wyer

Not many of us can say we’ve ridden a motorbike through a Church, so if you are keen to add that to your list of things to do this year, make sure you keep Saturday, August 28 free. The second annual Ride for Chappy is on again, and this is one charity ride with a huge novelty factor. Not only are participants supporting our local chaplaincy service and Beerwah State High chaplain Mike Turner, they also get the opportunity to ride their bike through Beerwah’s Uniting Church, certainly not something you get to do every day! Mark Griffiths, of Glasshouse Mountains, participated in last year’s event, and said he was gearing up to ride again this year. “It’s always a good experience to ride with a large group, but more importantly, it’s a great way to support our school chaplain Mike and the great work he does,” Mark said. Mark said he was well aware of the important role the school chaplain plays, with two sons who have both benefitted from the support of the chaplaincy service at Beerwah High. Another keen supporter is divisional Councillor Anna Grosskreutz, who is once again throwing her support behind the event, following the success of last year. "As someone who has been involved with the Ride for Daniel since its inception, the Ride for

Cr Anna after the completion of last year's inaugural ride through the church Chappy is an extremely well run event that is made a bit more novel with the ride through the church,” Cr Grosskreutz said. “There are a lot of charity rides around these days, so it certainly helps to have a point of difference about your event, and it is very generous of the Uniting Church to offer their support in this way.” Cr Grosskreutz agreed the Chaplaincy service was an important one for young people. “Young people need people other than their parents and teachers to talk to about a whole range of issues that confront them. This is where the chaplaincy service comes into its own.” “It’s much more than just a spiritual service,” she said. The Ride for Chappy kicks off with registration from 8.00am on Saturday, August 28 at the Beerwah State High School. Participation is only $15.00, which includes a patch, a barbeque breakfast, morning tea and lunch. For more information, including details of this year’s route, contact Jamie Kerr on 0418 155 021 or 5439 0452 or email jlkerr2@bigpond.com.

(QLD) • Acrylic Full / Lightweight Metal Partial Dentures • Relining Existing Dentures • Repairs • Mouthguards • Provider to Veterans Affairs & Private Health Funds • Phone for appointment: 5494 1711 • 3/3 Maleny St. (medical centre) LANDSBOROUGH

Local businesswoman Robyn Robertson has lived in Maleny for the past seven and a half years. Robyn runs her own hairdressing salon in Palmwoods, and she and husband Ian have four children. Robyn was instrumental in establishing a national program for mothers of preschoolers, known as MOPS, a group which supports mothers as they start their families, learning the value of motherhood and how to raise their children, supporting and encouraging each other. MOPS groups are now operating all over the world. Robyn said she joined with the Family First Party because she feels passionate about the value of family.

“I believe the strength of a nation is in the strength of its families. The family unit builds community where families can help and support each other,” Robyn said. “Family First Party has a real focus on families and the values Robyn Robertson to support and keep our families strong. Every day I hear stories from parents and grandparents who are concerned about what is happening to our children and youth drugs, binge drinking, suicide, bullying and brokeness. “We need to protect our children from exploitation in any form. Children should be free to enjoy their childhood. I want to encourage voters to think beyond the next three years and have a bigger view for the generations to come. "Fight for what is important so we can pass onto our children, and to their children, a standard of moral values which they can live by and feel safe.”

In last week’s edition we asked readers to contribute any questions they would like to ask our candidates in Fisher. We’ve since put some of these questions to our candidates and this week share the responses from two, Peter Slipper and Chris Cummins. 1 How does your party approach the issue of people dishonestly claiming government benefits? What measures would you put in place to ensure taxpayer funds are only claimed by those with legitimate needs? 2 It seems Australia has an 'open door' policy when it comes to refugees. What is your party's policy in terms of border protection and refugees? 3 Will your party consider changes to legislation

so that pensioners don't have to declare rebates from energy providers as an earning? There is a huge push for households to become more energy efficient, so I have had solar panels installed on my roof. When I receive rebates from my energy providers, I have to declare it as income, which could affect my pension. 4 Why do politicians make so many promises that they can't seem to keep? How will your party ensure it implements all the election promises and pledges if we vote for you? 5 How does your party plan to provide for our nation's ageing population, in a respectful way that acknowledges the choices and preferences of our elderly?

Last week we introduced you to the candidates for Fisher, with the exception of one, which we didn't receive prior to deadline. This week we introduce Family First candidate Robyn Robertson.

Peter Slipper MP, LNP Member for Fisher

1. Welfare payments are a safety net, not a lifestyle choice. The Liberal National team in government has always sought to ensure that tax-payer funds are only claimed by those entitled to them, with strict penalties for fraud. 2. A vote for me is a vote to protect our borders and stop the boats. Since Labor dismantled our effective border protection policy, which saw only three boats enter our waters in the last year of the Howard Government, the waters around Australia have become a superhighway for people smugglers putting thousands of lives at risk. So far 150 boats have arrived and more are on the way. We will also reinstate off-shore processing and temporary protection visas and turn back the boats when possible, to ensure people smugglers no longer have a product to sell. We, as Australians, must have the right to determine who crosses our borders. We already have a generous refugee programme and priority should not be given to queue jumpers. 3.Labor was forced to reverse this policy in May after huge criticism from the Opposition. We, like the rest of the community, were outraged that seniors were facing pension cuts for selling excess power generated by solar panels. Our team’s pension policy is based on respect for seniors and the contributions they've made. 4. Labor has turned breaking promises into an art form. All commitments made by the Liberal National Party are fully costed and all promises will be kept. 5. We believe seniors should be able to work if they wish, live in safe communities, have a financially secure retirement and get access to healthcare benefits. We will introduce an employer incentive payment to help those seniors who want to work, find work and establish a national programme to support local efforts to improve safety in seniors’ homes and communities. We will create a Minister for Ageing and Seniors to give older Australians a real voice in government decisions.

Chris Cummins, ALP Candidate for Fisher

1.The Gillard Labor Government takes a firm stand against abuse of the social support system to ensure the available funds are directed to those in the community who need help the most. Centrelink uses a variety of review activities towards the prevention, detection and deterrence of incorrect payments and fraud. The Federal Labor Government has introduced measures to clamp down on health and welfare related fraud including targeting welfare fraud that is linked to organised crime; increased data-exchange with financial institutions to identify undeclared assets; and an increase in the number of reviews conducted by Centrelink,which together will deliver an estimated savings of $1 billion over five years. 2. I disagree with the assertion that Australia has an open door policy. We are bound by international obligations to treat people seeking asylum or claiming refugee status humanely and with dignity. Australians expect their government to maintain control of the country’s borders and that's why the Gillard Labor Government is committed to strong border protection and an orderly migration program. It has also provided extra resources to our regional partners to help wreck the business of people smuggling, recently announcing $24.8 million in extra funding for law enforcement agencies in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The package included extra patrol boats, surveillance aircraft and communications equipment to help the Indonesian National Police, new land-based policing surveillance and investigative equipment for partner law enforcement agencies in the region, more AFP officers and $5 million to develop the computer forensic capabilities of the Indonesian National Police. 3.The Gillard Labor Government has taken steps to make feeding power into the grid simpler and fairer for pensioners, with federal Labor working constructively with pensioner groups to resolve this issue. Feed-in tariffs paid to pensioners as a credit

on an electricity bill will not be assessed as income under the pension income test. The use of credits to reduce the total of a pensioner’s electricity bill is the way most state and territory feed-in tariff schemes work. Power sold back to the grid in return for cash, cheque or a direct deposit is counted as income for social security purposes.This is consistent with the long standing pension rules where any form of private income needs to be reported, whether income is derived from rent, superannuation or other sources. 4. Federal Labor’s plan is to move Australia forward through a sustainable population policy, stronger economy and better education and services. The federal Labor government has a strong record of achieving its commitments in office. In our first term Labor didn’t control the Senate and many initiatives passed by the House of Representatives were voted down by the Senate, for example the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. 5. The age pension needs to provide seniors with a decent standard of living and the Gillard Labor Government has delivered the biggest increase to the single age pension in more than a hundred years, and we have also improved pension indexation so the pension keeps up with the cost of living. Labor is increasing the number of doctors and nurses in training and working to ensure that record numbers of pensioners are getting their elective surgery on time, as well as increasing the number of aged care beds by over 10,000 and delivering support for a further 2,500 aged care places. I support Labor’s policy to allow individuals aged 50 and over with total superannuation balances below $500,000 from 1 July 2012 be allowed to double the amount of concessional superannuation contributions to $50,000. Labor will also ensure that from 1 July 2013 workers aged between 70 and 75 receive compulsory superannuation guarantee contributions for the first time.

Commemorating VP Day

When GCNews spoke to David Edwards last April for his 90th Birthday celebrations we discovered the ex-serviceman had written an account of the Victory in the Pacific. With VP Day again being remembered on August 15, David kindly agreed to share his written account. He is, however, a humble and modest man and would prefer everyone from all the conflicts could get recognition for their service. “They deserve it,” he said. David was an Intelligence Officer for the 7th Australian Infantry Battalion AIF and his duties included collecting, collating and disseminating information. His Battalion was in action in Bougainville, where they were living in trenches. Information about the location of the Japanese was obtained by various means including aerial photographs, recognisance and asking local inhabitants. Here are some extracts from David’s essay, ‘V.P. Day – What It Means To Me.’ ‘The period surrounding the end of the war in the Pacific 65 years ago has always been etched in my memory. It was an interesting ending to my five plus years in the Army. It could be said that the beginning of the end was when an atom bomb was tested in Mexico on July 16th, 1945. It was naturally kept secret, as was the Allies plan of attack...... On August 6, the first Atom Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, followed by the bomb on Nagasaki on August 9. Word came through that the Japanese were considering surrender, and on August 11 we were told to suspend all operations, unless attacked. Leaflets were dropped in the Japanese areas. Unfortunately the enemy were spread far and wide over the island and we suffered casualties on August 13. Surrender terms were offered to the Japanese on August 14. On August 15, the Prime Minister of Australia announced that the Surrender terms had been accepted by the Japanese........

David Edwards Our Battalion History Book records the fact that 'on September 20th, Col. Dunkley (our C.O.) moved up to Berry’s Hill to supervise the Surrender of the Japanese. Captain Roberts and Lieutenant Edwards went to McInnes Hill and brought back to Berry’s Hill two Japanese Officers, after which the first main body arrived.' This was the forerunner of 15,000 Japanese being concentrated on Fauro Island (south of Bougainville) under our jurisdiction, prior to their repatriation to Japan. It was rather ironic that neither Captain Roberts, nor myself, could speak Japanese. Luckily one of the Japanese Officers could speak some English. It is pleasing that this important day in our history continues to be recognised each year’. After war ended it was some time before David headed home as he was given further duties at Rabaul, Papua New Guinea. He finally arrived in Sydney at the end of May, 1946. The RSL Beerwah/Peachester sub branch will be conducting a Victory in the Pacific Service at the Memorial outside the RSL Beerwah Citizens and Memorial Club starting at 10.00am on Sunday, August 15. Morning tea will be served in the Club afterwards. A social function will be held to pay tribute to Vietnam veterans on the following Wednesday, August 18, at the Drop In Centre.

Meet our new Glasshouse Country RSL sub branch president Libby Dios-Brun has been the new President of Glasshouse Country RSL Sub Branch since February. But what makes her appointment remarkable isn’t just the fact that she is only the second female President in a Queensland RSL Sub Branch that is not female based – but also the fact she has to deal with chronic pain on a daily basis. One of the reasons Libby, who was already Secretary at the RSL, wanted to become President is because of the extensive knowledge and experience she has gained over the years since injuring herself while serving in the Army from 1978 to 1985. “I herniated two discs and fractured two vertebrae. I’m in pain permanently and am now allergic to all painkillers. But it’s called life, get on with it. It’s not easy to do and it’s pure concentration. I just have to get on with my life as best I can,” Libby said. Getting ‘on with it’ has included volunteering her time for various organisations for the last 20 years including State Secretary for TPI (Totally and Permanently Incapacitated Ex-Servicemen and Woman) and President of WRAAC (Women’s Royal Australian Army Corp) and she is also a Welfare Officer. “I have the knowledge to be able to do things. I know a lot of the regulations. Being president is exciting but it’s also a lot of work because I’m also the Acting Secretary at the moment,” Libby said. She admits there can still be the ‘male’ factor to content with. “Some perceive that it is a male domain, but my Sub Branch here, a lot of them don’t think that way. It’s the person that does the job and that’s what they’re happy with. I’ve been welcomed.” Libby’s husband, Kevin, who was in the Navy for nine years and served in Vietnam, is also involved with the RSL. He’s a membership officer and on the building committee. “We both donate our time back into volunteering for the ex-service community and help where we can,” Kevin said. Libby is full of praise for all the RSL volunteers. “Without the Citizens Auxiliary we wouldn’t exist. My committee is very valued. Their support in making our endeavours come forward is extremely

important. And if we didn’t have the groundwork from past committees we wouldn’t be where we are to improve from. “The crux of where we’re at is we’re here to service our ex-service community, their families and the broader community as well. We hope to assist anyone in the community who has issues to do with their mental and physical well-being, whether it’s related to defence or not, or their service or not, we can direct them to other areas and services,” she said. Wanting to help others is what drives Libby. “I feel the need is there and while the need is there why not do something to assist others?” she said.

Feeling the Flu? If you are 55-80 years of age and are currently experiencing symptoms of the flu, including a temperature of 37.8°C or higher, you may be eligible to help evaluate an investigational medication. Influenza (the flu) is a virus that affects millions of people worldwide each year. And while there are flu treatments available, there’s growing concern that the flu virus may build resistance to today’s medications. In addition, current treatments are sometimes unable to treat new strains of the flu. As a result, more research into alternative flu treatments is still needed.

FLU RESEARCH STUDY Local doctors are currently conducting a medical research study evaluating an investigational flu treatment. To pre-qualify for this study, you must: • Be 55 to 80 years of age, • Be experiencing two or more symptoms of the flu, AND • Have a fever of 37.8°C or higher. Qualified participants will receive study-related medical evaluations and study medication at no cost. In addition, reimbursement for time and travel may also be provided.

When Lorna and Graham Buxton became members of the Glass House Mountains Sports Club around 16 years ago, little did they know just what impact their huge contribution was to have. Over the years the pair has played a variety of roles, but it is their continued dedication to volunteering that has seen Lorna fundraise thousands of dollars for club teams. Next week, the trend continues, when Lorna hosts a mega raffle at the club. Regular club visitors will be familiar with Lorna’s usual weekly raffles – she’s been hosting them at the club for the past four years, raising up to $3,000 every six months for club teams the Rangers Cricket Club and Bee Gees Soccer Club. But next week’s mega raffle is one not to miss. Featuring a prize pool of more than 40 new and recycled goods, there’s something for everyone in Lorna’s treasure chest. “We’ve had some very generous donations for our next mega raffle,” Lorna said. “They say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and that is what our mega raffle is all about.” “Some items have hardly been used, many are still in their boxes, some are collector pieces and others are items that families have simply outgrown. “They are all quality items, well worth the investment of a $5.00 ticket,” Lorna said. Who could say no to a deep fryer or a cappuccino machine for only $5.00? One hundred tickets are up for grabs in the multidraw raffle, which will be held next Thursday, August 19 from 6.00pm - 7.00pm at the Glass House Mountains Sports Club. Lorna is still accepting donations for the raffle, so if you have household items you no longer use that are in good condition, or unwanted gifts, Lorna with one of the collector's contact her on 5493 0506. pieces up for grabs

Ladies community breakfast

If you had wandered past Mooloolah Village Hall on Saturday, July 24 you would have enjoyed the beautiful music of Anna Parton, been enticed by the aroma of our European food and saw a bunch of relaxed ladies being pampered with a special breakfast hosted by Mooloolah Valley Church. Twenty-five locals came along for the morning and left comments such as ‘top presentation!’,‘thank you for inviting the community’, ‘looking forward to the next one!’, and ‘was great to meet other people and be treated to such great food, music and speaking’. Shelly Moss amazed us with stories of her time as a missionary in the jungles of Colombia, where landslides, drug lords, guerrillas (not the animal kind!) and serious illness were a common occurrence and yet her faith in God helped her weather the storms knowing that God was in control. Shelly shared that her family went out as ordinary people and yet found out that God often does extraordinary things with us when we are willing to step out in faith. Everyone agreed that such a wonderful morning must be repeated so Mooloolah Valley Church is looking to host a breakfast once a quarter with more inspiring messages, talented musicians and not forgetting the yummy food. Many thanks to all who were involved in making the morning happen and watch this space in the future for details of the next breakfast!

More than 18 months since new electoral boundaries left it outside the seat of Glass House, the office of State MP Andrew Powell has finally found a new home – in Maple Street, Maleny. “Prior to the last election, the seat of Glass House was drastically changed by redistribution – removing the Caboolture CBD and shifting the seat north. So it has been a little strange being the Member for Glass House and operating from an office in Caboolture, outside of the electorate,” Mr Powell said. “In an electorate that stretches from Conondale and Flaxton in the north, to Mt Mee and Bellmere in the south the move to Maleny will place my office in a more central location. What’s more, Maleny has the largest CBD in the revised electorate; it has the only high school in the electorate, the only hospital. “And it’s a great outcome for me personally. Being centrally located in Maleny will mean less driving time for me and my staff – a win for the electorate. Less time on the road means more time delivering outcomes for you. “But I reassure all constituents, it will be business as usual for me and the office. For example, my door will continue to be wide open for any community groups that need photocopying – with a couple of days notice for bookings my staff will even have a cuppa waiting,” Mr Powell continued. “And I have always been committed to holding mobile offices throughout the electorate every couple of months. This will certainly not change. All constituents will have access to meet me, even if they can’t make it to the new office. In short, if you can’t get to me, I’ll certainly come to you! “Moving day is yet to be set, but should be before the end of September. I’ll keep you updated on progress,” Mr Powell said.

Support called for festival meeting The Rotary Club of the Glass House Mountains’ plans to put our community on the map have stepped up a notch, with a date being set for an initial meeting to discuss plans for the inaugural Glasshouse Country Festival.

MP to move to Maleny

Event coordinator Bob McLean said anyone interested in being part of the committee to organise the Glasshouse Country Festival is being invited to attend a meeting at the Beerwah Library Meeting Room at 3.30pm next Tuesday, August 17. “The intention of the festival is to participate in the state’s Queensland Week celebrations,” Bob said. “Our vision is to encourage as many community groups as possible in the Glasshouse Country region to hold special promotional events to attract visitors to our unique region. The intention is not only to attract visitors but also to inform the local residence of the great attractions we have to offer.” He said the Sustainability and Garden Expo will be a tool to promote the special activities

ÊÊ

to occur over the period, which will likely conclude on Friday, June 10, 2011, with a community awards dinner sponsored by the Glass House Country Chamber of Commerce. “Other suggested events could include a local food fair, craft fair, schools' concert, heritage tours, eco business seminars, 60 - 40 dance night, and a special sporting event for the weekend of June 4 - 5.” He said the festival committee will be applying for a grant from the State Government to promote the Festival and all associated events and activities, and would like to see local businesses get involved. “We would really like to see as many local businesses and representatives of local clubs and associations as possible get on board with our vision for the Glasshouse Country Festival, and come along to our first planning meeting to get this event off the ground.” For more information contact Bob McLean at info@glasshousecountryfestival.com.au or visit the website at www.glasshousecountryfestival.com.au

From the schools Pyjama day at Landsborough

Rededication of Beerburrum Cemetary Tuesday, August 3 was another special day for Beerburrum State School students and the school community. Following the Anzac Avenue Memorial Service on Monday, the annual re-dedication service of the Beerburrum cemetery was held from 3.15pm. This joint venture began in 1994 between the Glasshouse RSL sub-branch, the Caloundra City Council, and Beerburrum State School to remind the community of the significance of the history of the area as a World War I solider settlement.

Jordan Parr and Tara Fissenden planting rosemary The children at Landsborough Child Care Centre had a lovely day recently. While the winter winds were blowing, they were lucky enough to stay in their pyjamas all day! The centre had a fun day where the children (and staff) all brought in their favourite teddy bears for a day of dancing, singing and many fun activities. Face painting, fingerpainting, collaging teddy pyjamas and balloon painting were just some of the activities the children enjoyed. A picnic lunch was also enjoyed by all.

Aiming for the Sky

Dylan Stevenson, School Captain of Glasshouse Country Christian College, is one step closer to his ambition of joining the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) in Canberra. Last week, Dylan was presented with the prestigious ADFA Education Award during a College Assembly. The award is presented to students who have excelled in academics, sporting achievement and leadership potential.

Beerwah’s Brightest New Business Did you know that affordable tuition is now available in Beerwah? The Homework Club offers group tuition for primary and junior high school students weekdays 3.00pm until 5.00pm at the Beerwah CWA Hall. The club is the brainchild of Penelope Webb, who wanted to see affordable tuition provided in the local area. Penelope is a registered, qualified teacher with five years experience teaching both primary and high school students. She has extensive teaching experience, having taught in Australia and overseas, as well as Learning Support and English as a Second Language. Why is tuition important? In todays world there are many reasons why tuition is beneficial to students. Tuition can identify problem areas, reinforce student learning, build confidence, extend students and develop a range of thinking strategies to help students cope with the increasing demands of schooling. The Homework Club focuses particularly on reinforcing and extending Literacy and Numeracy concepts through a range of strategies and resources. It also offers students a secure learning environment for the completion of their homework. How does group tuition work? Group tuition allows us to tailor a learning plan to meet students individual needs. This is highly beneficial as schools do not have the time or resources to offer such a service. By using learning plans both the student and the parents have a significant input. With a two hour session costing only $10.00 there has never been a better time to secure your child’s future. For further information please contact Penelope on 0425 199 573.

The school became guardians of the cemetery at this time and continues to maintain the area. Wreaths were laid by Federal and State Government dignitaries as well as Council and RSL representatives. The school children were also asked to lay flowers on the graves as a token of their respect. Finally a challenge was made to the students by Glasshouse RSL President Mrs Libby Dios-Brun to research two of the fallen soldiers over the following year. This information will be presented at the 2011 ceremony. Lest We Forget.

Flight Lieutenant Anita Green, in presenting Dylan with his award, said that the selection process was very competitive. “Dylan can be very proud to have received this award as all applicants are ranked in order of merit and only 25 awards are being presented to Queensland students this year.” Dylan has been recommended for a place at ADFA in 2011 and in addition, received a lap top computer as part of his award. Dylan is looking forward to an exciting future at ADFA. ADFA cadets are paid to study; they don’t pay tuition fees and have a guaranteed job at the completion of their degree. For Dylan, the sky’s the limit!

Flight Lieutenant Anita Green and Petty Officer Matthew Jarvis from Defence Force Recruiting presented the ADFA award to Dylan Stevenson with Mrs Sue Fraser (Head of Secondary).

Essential Software Hello and welcome to the first of our monthly columns! This month we would like to warn readers of a scam that is currently affecting residents of the Hinterland area. Residents report that they receive a phone call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft or Windows. The caller then advises the resident that they have a virus or errors on their computer and that they can fix the problems for them. The caller requests that the resident carry out some simple steps on their computer and ensure they had an internet connection. Luckily for most people we have spoken to, alarm bells started ringing at this point and they ended the call - as the caller sounded foreign and their English was quite bad. This caller was attempting to gain remote access to the residents personal computer. By doing so they would be able to access private data or place viruses on the machine that would cause damage. These scammers are based in call centres overseas and they prey on a lack of understanding by the computer user to get away with their scam. No company - including Microsoft - will EVER phone you about problems with your computer, unless you have requested them to. You should never provide access to your computer to anyone who phones you unexpectedly. This should only occur when you have requested IT Support from a professional. If you have been a victim of such a phone call, and allowed someone access to your computer, we would recommend you take it in to a professional for an assessment and thorough virus scan.

Crocodoc One need that is becoming increasingly more prevalent, particularly for businesses, is that of document collaboration. This refers to the sharing and annotation of a word or pdf document amongst colleagues. The Crocodoc system allows you to upload just such a document to an online location and then share the link to that location with your friends and associates, who can then view and annotate that document in a virtual workspace. The free version of the site does not allow you to password protect your documents, however each user requires the secret link to be sent to them before they can start providing input, so your document is quite secure. This great website makes document collaboration fun and simple - definitely one to try out in your spare time! Rating: www.crocodoc.com There are thousands of free business tools on the market today. If you are being held back by the day-to-day tasks that seem to take forever, call us to discuss your options.

Mell Shepherd of Beerwah Travel It’s been a little over a month since Mell closed the doors on her retail outlet in Beerwah and set herself up as the region’s very first mobile travel agent. We caught up with Mell last week to find out how her new mobile business is going. What are the benefits of your new business for clients? Being mobile means I can come to you and organise all your travel needs at a time and place that is convenient. And of course, being local, means you will continue to receive local service both before and after you’ve made the booking. What has been the response from your customers to your new mobile service? Having been in business for the past five years, the decision to go mobile has certainly been a major highlight, and the response from customers has been great. They are enjoying the greater flexibility I can now offer while knowing they will still receive the same tried, tested and quality advice.

Mell Shepherd

Any other changes? I now have a school based trainee working with me, Sam Usher, a local girl who is completing her Certificate 3 in Retail Travel. Our other big news is that we have recently joined the International Cruise Council of Australia (ICCA), giving clients’ piece of mind that we can offer the best deals and advice on all their cruising needs. Sam and I are also currently completing our certification with P&O/Princess Academy to gain recognition of our expertise in cruising. Join our cruise club to receive huge benefits and exclusive deals, as well as a cruise magazine that covers most major cruise companies. Contact Mell from 9.00am - 6.00pm Monday to Friday on 5494 7997 or mobile 0417 777 909, or email beerwah.travel@westnet.com.au and arrange a convenient time.

Celebrating Women’s curves in Beerwah The search begins this month, to find a brave woman from Beerwah who has dramatically turned her life around, through better fitness and nutrition. To find this lady, Curves Beerwah has announced the launch of the inaugural Curves ‘Curvette of the Year’ competition this week. ‘Curvette of the Year’ is about finding and celebrating courageous women who have worked hard to lose kilos and become stronger and healthier, Curves Beerwah owner Linda said. “Every day, we have the privilege of meeting some amazing women who are determined to improve their lives and become stronger and healthier. “They come to us looking for a total fitness and nutrition program, created specifically for women like themselves.

“It is truly heartening to see the results these women achieve, after committing to a 30 minute workout, just three times a week at Curves and adopting a scientifically tested weight management plan.” Linda said she’ll be “crossing her fingers and toes” that someone from Beerwah gets crowned ‘Curvette of the Year’ later this year. The Curves 30 minute workout exercises every major muscle group and burns up to 500 kilojules through a proven program of strength training, cardio and stretching. In addition, club promotions and events encourage women to support charitable causes, learn about health-related issues and forge lasting friendships as part of the global Curves community.

Ham’s a winner!

ur Complete Service o Centre Y

Apprentice Nathan and Robert Barry with one of their award winning hams Barry Family Butchers have taken out first place for their boneless leg ham at this year’s Royal Brisbane National Show (the Ekka). Narelle Barry said this was the first year they’d entered the competition, and they were blown away to have taken out first place for their ham, after only nine months in business. She said the win was a real team effort. “We were up against 28 butchers from across the state who’ve been making their own hams for up to 40 years, so it’s great to think we were able to compete with that experience, and come out on top,” Narelle said. Barry Family Butchers supply their boneless leg ham locally to IGA’s in Beerwah, Landsborough and Maleny, Woodford and Kilcoy, look for the ham labelled Peachester Gold, or you can also buy direct from their butchery at 230 Burys Road, Beerwah.

Local SES groups lit up for storm season

Local SES volunteers will be better equipped to help households when wild weather hits thanks to Storm Heroes Grants from NRMA Insurance. NRMA Insurance, as the major sponsor of the Queensland SES, has provided nearly $25,000 in equipment grants to 27 SES groups across the state. Caloundra and Glasshouse SES groups will use the Storm Hero Grant to buy rechargeable lighting that can be set up in a few minutes and runs for up to 18 hours so volunteers can work safely and efficiently on emergency storm repairs in the dark.

All members are looking forward to their first social event for this financial year. It is the Garden Party in Rita and John Cruickshank’s beautiful garden. Lots of food while listening to the entertainers or doing the competitions; plants, home cooking and a white elephant stall adds to a great day out for all. A free cuppa for all who purchase soup, sandwiches or platter. On Thursday, August 19, 11.00am - 2.00pm for men and women to enjoy, at 154 Kings Road, Glasshouse Mountains. Recently $300 was sent to Dame Alice Berry (international fund) and from there it was distributed to needy third world countries. Some of the recipients last year were Doctors without Borders, Fistula, Ethiopian famine, Women against Rape – Sudan and Lotus Centre Mongolia. Hoy is still held on the first Tuesday of each month at 9.00am in the CWA room.

Community group updates Beerwah Neighbourhood Watch Contributed by Sheila Williams

The August ‘Good Neighbour Award’ certificate presented by Area Co-ordinator, Ron Stocks, at the meeting on August 2, was awarded to Jenny and Stewart Maskell who were nominated by their neighbour, Cilla Marshall. She said “they are lovely and caring neighbours who are always there for you.” At the AGM the following office bearers were elected: Area Co-ordinator, Ron Stocks; Deputy Area Co-ordinator, Steve Breischke; Secretary and Newsletter Editor, Sheila Williams; Assistant Secretary, Sylvia Shaw; Treasurer, Peter Dreghorn. Sadly, Hudson Newett, who has been

Ron Stocks, Jenny and Stewart Maskell and Cilla Marshall a tireless worker for NHW for so long, decided it was time for him to retire from the position of Deputy Area Co-ordinator.

Rotary Club of The Glasshouse Mountains Contributed by Ursula Starkovsky

Our Rotary Club has had a few memorable weeks and some very interesting presentations. First we heard from Ashley Suell about the Forestry Industry in our area. A very interesting and educational presentation, taking us back to the start of the Forestry in 1920 and up to this day. Whilst Ashley Suell is now retired from the Forestry, he organises botanical tours in our area. Anyone interested in attending a tour can obtain more information through Rotary. During the last month not only did we welcome new club members, but sadly, we had to say good-bye to one of our Charter (founding) members, Rick Downes. Rick has been very actively involved with the club since inception, but unfortunately has decided to move away from our beautiful area. All Rotarians, and we are sure

Rick receives the well-earned good-bye cake from our host Lyndsey at the Beerwah Hotel

many residents, wish Rick all the best and we are already looking forward to welcome him in future as a Guest Rotarian. Last Monday we heard very valuable updates and information by Wendy Nugent and Angela Molloy from the Cystic Fibrosis Sunshine Coast. Our Rotary Club has been deeply involved for over 10 years with helping Cystic Fibrosis sufferers, an incurable disease affecting children and young adults. With a severe lack of Government funding and aid, the families of those children and young adults have to provide much of the care and support themselves. Rotary has been giving a helping hand to the families and provided much needed physiotherapy for the kids. The treatment has resulted in less time spent in hospitals, improved the well being of those patients and overall an increase in life expectancy. Next on our Rotary calendar we have the Golf Day on August 8 with all funds raised going to the Children’s Fund that includes the CF families. If you have not registered, time has run out, but don’t despair, you can mark your agenda 2011 at the beginning of August for the next round. If you would like to know more information about the above events or our club, please call us on 0431 829 119 or google Glasshouse Rotary.

Peachester District Horticulture Society Inc Contributed by Patricia Bradford, Publicity Officer

In July we welcomed visitors from neighbouring Garden Clubs to our annual Friendship Day. After morning tea, Graham Leach, acting as MC welcomed members and visitors. Ann Vitale, our first guest speaker was introduced and she had some amazing stories to tell. Ann grew up in North Queensland, has travelled extensively, worked for the United Nations from September 2000 to December 2003 and is now based in Brisbane. Her experience in Kosovo where she was in charge of education from prep to grade 12 for the whole country was unusual and difficult. The purpose of her assignment was to build capacity in the Ministry of Education employees so that they could take over responsibility. In 2005 Ann was posted to Iraq as the Higher Education Adviser for USAID. Her role was to manage five programs which form part of USAID’s Higher Education and Development Program bringing together American and Iraqui universities to aid the re-establishment of academic excellence in Iraq’s higher education system. She was based in Baghdad. Imagine having to wear a helmet and flak jacket and being surrounded by security guards just to travel to work? A unique experience. Her most recent assignment was setting up educational programs in Tajikistan in central Asia and her talk was accompanied by projected images of 16

the delightful people and scenery. Coral Buetel introduced bush poet Janine Haig who entertained us with some of her bush poems. Janine is well known to us as she is the daughter of Maureen Coral Beutel with her Yeomans, one of our long flower arrangement winter wonderland term members. Janine has lived in the bush for well over 20 years and has won awards for her poetry or POMES as she likes to call them, including the Bronze Swagman Award for written verse. Coral Beutel presented Ann Vitale with a gift after her brilliant presentation and Janine Haig received a gift from Graham Leach for her wonderful poems. Member Rob Morris demonstrated his method of making a hanging display using a large pot and a special mixture he made up to fertilise potted plants. Results of the competition bench for June, first Joan Kropp. Tie second Margaret Ferris and Cath Howitt. After a lunch, many members and visitors took advantage to visit three local gardens. The next meeting will be in Maureen Yoemans garden, 28 London Creek Road, Peachester on Thursday, August 19 at 9.30am. Flower of the month, Gerbera. Guest speaker John Innes on bee keeping. Visitors welcome. For more information phone 5496 9169.

Beerwah Writers Group Contributed by Trevor McGurk

The decision to submit at this early stage, works to be published in our next anthology has paid off. Last meeting our members produced some unique offerings. Martin Pedders contribution about a dispute between Romes Pontius pilate and the Jews over an aqueduct was well received. His work was titled ‘Mordech’. John Wright’s piece – ‘Easy come, easy go’ showed that disposing of ‘hot’ money can be just as difficult as wrongfully obtaining it in the first place. Paul Stevens produced two small works, ‘Numbers’ and ‘The Waitress’. The former about a surprise Lotto win, and the latter about how to capture a millionaire and still let love flourish. ‘Tubes of Justice’ by Eric Rich continued the fine traditions of ghost stories recently submitted. Kate Wright’s offering ‘Yanna’ told the sad story of an 92 year old lady whose mind is clear but is completely immobile and speechless. Kate is an honours graduate in writing and philosophy of culture. She has hosted literary programs on radio, made many TV appearances, has had three books, numerous short stories and many articles published.

Mooloolah Valley Community Association AGM

The Mooloolah Valley Community Association will hold its 2010 AGM on Saturday, August 21 at the Community Centre at 43 Bray Road at 2.00pm. This year the format of the meeting will be slightly different. There will not be a continuation administrative meeting. Instead we are asking people to bring a plate for afternoon tea and we will break in the middle. Afterwards we would like to hold a structured brainstorming session to discover local issues and problems that need work. The last year has been a productive one although we have not been very visible in the community. The three subcommittees, the Railway Corridor Subcommittee, the Centre Subcommittee and the Recreation Reserve Subcommittee have all worked very hard. The railway subcommittee is in a waiting phase at the moment. The negotiations with Queensland transport, Queensland Rail and Arup Engineers resulted in substantial changes and improvements to the environmental impact statement including the retention of the level crossing at Mooloolah. The overpass will not be built although there is a caveat on land nearby in case of a change in public sentiment. The Centre Subcommittee held two family fun days in the last year and acquired grants to help run the centre. The newly formed Recreation Reserve Subcommittee held several meetings during the year with the Sunshine Coast Council and Councillor Jenny McKay. During the next year we intend to start making better use of the reserve and organising some additional amenities such as cricket nets. This committee badly needs volunteers to help get the projects underway. At the AGM election all office-bearers automatically resign. Only one is seeking reelection and nominations for committee positions are now open. Nominations close August 14 and nominations must be in writing. Anyone who wishes to help serve the community of the Mooloolah Valley can contact the office at 43 Bray Road, telephone the president, Paul Wilson at home on 5492 9795 or email at mooloolahvca@hotmail.com

Flying international flag

Parliamentary News

I’m an enthusiastic supporter of events that help our local economy and the International Rally of Queensland is no exception. Using my Embassy contacts in Canberra, I managed to source flags representing the nine countries in the competition. The flags were raised at rally headquarters and during trophy presentations. I was proud to play a small but significant part in the event. About 2,000 drivers, co-drivers, team members, supporters, sponsors and media checked into Sunshine Coast accommodation for at least three days. Many also managed to fit in some sight-seeing. Organisers are yet to calculate how much the rally poured into the economy but all agree it was considerable.

School Chaplaincy Programme

I have recently been inundated with phone calls and emails from locals who are worried about the future of the National School Chaplaincy Programme. It’s been pleasing to offer them some comfort and reassurance. A Liberal National Government has committed to continuing the current funding levels indefinitely. In contrast, Labor has given no guarantee that the programme will survive beyond next year. Since the Howard Government started the programme in 2007, more than 1,900 schools have employed part-time chaplains. They have played an invaluable role in the school community, particularly helping young people who battle loneliness or bullying, or who have difficulties in their families. It will be shame and a disgrace if the programme ends.

Doctor shortage

My recent doctor’s appointment was more than a chance for a check-up, it was an opportunity to hear firsthand about the doctor shortage on the Sunshine Coast. I spoke with Doctor Michael Tan at Caloundra Central Family Practice, which has been working with me to raise the issue in Canberra. Dr Tan told me the lack of general practitioners on the Sunshine Coast forces the ones who are here to work long hours to try to meet the demand. The shortage also means medical practices frequently have to turn away patients. I have vowed to keep championing ways to attract more GPs. It forms part of my second election pledge, which is to continue my determined fight to improve health services on the Sunshine Coast. Incidentally, Dr Tan gave me a clean bill of health!

Great to be back in the parliamentary swing of things after a short winter break - it is certainly going to be a big few weeks for everybody with the Federal election looming. While in the House this week I had the opportunity to speak on a topic very close to my heart as a father. Michael and Kelly Hornby of Palmwoods, who lost their twin daughters and their mother last year in a horrific road accident, have sought my assistance in promoting their ‘Grace and Jessica Road Smart Day’. In my speech to the House I stressed how important it is that the Government, in conjunction with local schools, get behind Road Smart Day in the weeks leading up to September 12 and remind all drivers to take care on our roads. I also spoke about my disappointment that the Beerburrum to Nambour Rail Duplication has been further delayed – which will continue to frustrate planning in each of our ‘railway towns’. I also expressed my appreciation for the decision to increase protection of land within the Glass House Mountains National Park. I have asked the Minister for a map of the additional park land to be protected and will publish it on my website when I have a copy.

Out and About

I am often invited to special events and openings throughout the electorate. Last Monday I attended one such function that really touched my heart following my recent trip to Kokoda - the Rededication Service at ANZAC Avenue Beerburrum, organised by the Glass House Mountains RSL Sub Branch. The memorial service and the tree planting were a moving tribute to the sacrifices made by our WW1 soldiers. The trees that line the avenue stand as a living testimony to their courage and service. We will forever remember them.

Funding Grants

We have so many community groups within our electorate and it is great to hear about new funding grants that have been made available to help these groups survive. Applications close on August 31, for the SunSmart Grant Scheme that has been set up by the Cancer Council and Queensland Health for Child Care Centres, schools and other community groups to implement sun safety initiatives such as new sun shades, hats and tree planting.

Naming the Beerwah Overpass

Meet and greet at Landsborough

Carolyn Male (the former member for Glasshouse) and I are seeking your views and suggestions for the naming of the new Rail Bypass Bridge in Beerwah. This is a great opportunity for community involvement to help find a suitable name. Please let me know your suggestions, and the reasons behind any names that you suggest, by Friday, August 27. Suggestions can be forwarded by email to hilary.wallace@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au or posted to my attention at PO Box 117, Caloundra, 4551. Carolyn and I will then provide this information to the Minister for Transport, Rachel Nolan. This will finally complete the project that Carolyn and I have worked on so hard together.

Bells Creek Road

Works will commence this week on a 300 metre section of Bells Creek Road that is desperately in need of attention. This $110,000 project, which is partly funded by the Federal Government’s Road to Recovery Program, will include road rehabilitation and a bitumen seal. It is expected that this work will be completed in four weeks.

Ride For Chappy

Don’t miss the second annual Ride for Chappy, which is on Saturday, August 28, and is in support of our local Chaplaincy service. Last year my husband Russell and I participated in this fabulous event and helped set the record which saw 112 bikes ride through the Uniting Church at Beerwah. The ride departs from Beerwah High school at 9.00am and travels out to O’Shea’s Crossing, past Somerset Dam, up the Brisbane Valley to Kilcoy, back to Caboolture, along the Bruce Highway to Steve Irwin Way, finally finishing at the Uniting Church, Beerwah. For more information please contact Jamie Kerr on 0418 155 021 or email jlkerr2@bigpond.com

Sunshine Coast Spring Wildflower Festival

From August 14 - 29, the popular Sunshine Coast Spring Wildflower festival will feature over 40 walks, talks and workshops right across the Sunshine Coast. You can book by selecting an event from the brochure and then calling the appropriate number to book – but hurry, places are filling fast. Brochures are available at council libraries, customer service centres and online at www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

I’d like to extend an invitation to the Landsborough community to join me outside the Eclectic Dreams shop, Maleny Street, Landsborough from 10.00am - 12.00noon on Tuesday, September 28. All are welcome to drop by to discuss any ideas or suggestions you may have for the area. Please call Sue on 5441 8043 to let me know if you’re able to make it. I look forward to sharing a great morning with you all.

Pine harvest at Ewen Maddock Dam and Wappa

Seqwater is planning to harvest a stand of exotic pine trees on land in the Ewen Maddock Dam and Wappa areas in the coming weeks. While valued as a resource in a plantation forestry situation, Seqwater considers these trees to be a weed as they are invading and dominating natural vegetation, decreasing habitat quality and potentially increasing bushfire intensity. Areas affected include: Gympie Road North, Ewen Maddock Dam and Kiamba Cooloolabin Road, Wappa. Council thanks the local community in advance for their co-operation on this matter. For further info, please contact Seqwater on 1800 SEQWATER or email recreation@ seqwater.com.au

What is council doing about Pest Plant Management?

I am often asked about council’s responsibility with pest and plant management. The Pest Management Team is responsible for the management of declared pest plants on the Council Road reserve network. They are frequently required to move into the road reserve, in order to treat known and/or new infestations of declared pest plants. In doing so, pest plants are typically approached from a reasonable and safe distance off the road, and a hose is run from a quick spray unit to treat plants. Staff are well trained in their plant and weed identification skills, and ensure a close eye is kept on their surrounds so as not to drive vehicles over declared plants. As an extra precaution, all vehicles are washed down at depot locations at least once a fortnight. Weed hygiene - to prevent weed seed spread - is a practised part of their operations. I acknowledge the Pest Management Team’s continued dedication to eradicating declared species.

After the successful ‘Speak Up Engage’ youth engagement project, the Sunshine Coast Council has began to implement the YEAH program (Youth Entertainment / Education All Hours). Young adults between the ages of 12 and 25 have the opportunity to take a larger role in the operation of their local library, to ensure that the library can evolve with a dynamic age group. The YEAH program aims to include young adults in decision making processes on projects, programs and policies at their library that may have an impact on the way the library operates for them. Young adults will be able to offer their opinion on what they want from the library, what books, CDs, DVDs or graphic novels should be stocked and what holiday activities should be

Beerwah Library run, all in a bid to ensure the library remains an enjoyable, educational and contemporary asset for young adults. For more details contact Karen Gawen, Young Adult Librarian, karen.gawen@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au phone 5475 8922.

Parents sought to participate in online parenting study

University of Queensland and QUT researchers are seeking Australian parents of children aged five to 12 years to take part in an online survey of how Australians are parenting their children in the 21st century. The researchers aim to have at least 1,000 parents complete the online survey, which is at: http://survey.qut.edu.au/survey/169580/1ae7/ Parents can complete the survey as a once-only or they can elect to be part of a follow-up survey in six month’s time. The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete. The survey is being run by Dr Helen Stallman from the School of Medicine at The University of Queensland and Dr Jeneva Ohan from the School of Psychology and Counselling at Queensland University of Technology. Dr Stallman said parents today were faced with raising their children in a much different society than they or their parents grew up in. “Computers and internet use have become part of daily life,” she said. “Perceptions of neighbourhood safety is low, and the push to have children excel in academics and extra-curricular activities and go on to university has perhaps never been stronger. “As a result, parents seem to be developing a different child-rearing culture than that seen in previous decades.

“For example, 40 - 50 years ago, parents used to give their children substantially more physical freedom in exploring their neighbourhood independently and more unstructured time with playmates. “Today’s parents usually have fenced yards and are well-aware of their child’s whereabouts, often driving them to and from structured activities. “Also, parents in the past have placed less emphasis on their child gaining university admission after high school as higher education was not deemed necessary for a productive career. “Now, the reality is that a greater proportion of young adults have university-education than ever before, and parents are feeling the pressure to begin their child on the road to academic success at an early age.” Will parents’ attempts to provide their children with more structure and safety, and a more solid educational footing be of benefit to children? Or will such attempts ultimately take away feelings of responsibility from our children? Dr Stallman said unfortunately, research had not kept pace with these marked changes in how today’s parents parented their children, so researchers did not know the answers to these questions. “That is what we are trying to now do through our ‘Parenting in the 21st Century’ Australia-wide survey,” she said.

What works for depression in young people

Can chocolate ease the symptoms of depression? Does art therapy help? Will St John’s Wort fix the blues? How effective is light therapy? To answer these questions, beyondblue: the national depression initiative, in association with clinical researchers at Orygen Youth Health Research Centre at The University of Melbourne, have produced a user-friendly booklet that rates treatments for depression in young people. The easy-to-use, ‘thumbs up, thumbs down’ rating scale, covers medical, psychological, complementary and lifestyle options that may be considered for the treatment of depression in young people. 'What Works for Depression in Young People' reviews over 30 treatment options and rates each against up-to-date clinical evidence from Australia and overseas. Associate Professor Rosemary Purcell, lead researcher of the booklet, says: “the sheer volume of information and mixed messages about different treatments for depression can make it difficult for people to choose treatments based on

accurate information on what actually works. We want health professionals, young people and their families or friends to make educated decisions about treatments for depression and this booklet will allow people to do that.” CEO of beyondblue Leonie Young says: “we are proud to add this guide to beyondblue’s collection of evidence-based information on depression, anxiety and related disorders. This new booklet is a fantastic resource for young people, their parents and health professionals working with young people. “It will not only inform and educate everyone about what treatments work for depression in young people, but I hope it encourages young people to look for the signs of depression and anxiety, listen to each other, talk about what’s going on and seek help together.” A Guide to What Works for Depression in Young People is available for FREE from www.beyondblue.org.au or by calling 1300 22 4636 (local call)

Out & about in Glasshouse country Anzac Avenue –

in dedication of our forebears In 1920 the students of Beerburrum State School planted memorial trees along Anzac Avenue as a testament to the courage and bravery of Australian and New Zealand troops. On August 2, the current students of Beerburrum State School once again honoured their forebears with a plaque of rededication and a re-enactment of the original planting. Mrs Libby Dios-Brun, President of the Glass House Country RSL Sub Branch, Cr Anna Grosskruetz from the Sunshine Coast Council,

Mr Andrew Powell, State Member for Glass House and Mr Peter Slipper, Federal Member for Fisher, along with students and members of the community, including several past students, attended the ceremony to celebrate the living legacy the memorial trees embody. The school captains of Beerburrum State School, Chloe Lovatt and Jessica Illing planted a new tree to demonstrate the enduring ANZAC Spirit. Local author and historian Ann Ross unveiled her book ‘Beerburrum Anzac Avenue Memorial Trees’ which gives deep insight into the history of the area and the significance of the Anzac Avenue Memorial Trees.

Our Town, Our Song

Australian towns have been well-documented in songs over the decades – ‘Road to Gundagai’, ‘Tenterfield Saddler’, ‘Texas QLD 4385’ - and in the lead up to the 2011 Tamworth Country Music Festival, ABC Radio is inviting Australians to pen a song about their town. ‘Your Town, Your Song’ is a national competition calling for lyrics that capture the essence of listeners’ home towns. The winning entry will be given star treatment with Golden Guitar winners Ian Quinn creating a melody and Felicity Urquhart recording the song, which will be broadcast across ABC Radio. The winning lyricist and a friend will kick up their heels at the 2011 Tamworth Country Music Festival, with flights, three nights’ accommodation and selected tickets (including seats at the Golden Guitar Awards) all taken care of. The winner will also be special guest at an exclusive ABC Radio concert during the Festival, where Saturday Night Country’s Felicity Urquhart will perform the song for the first time live onstage. The competition runs through to September 30, with the winning entry announced in November. For more information on how to enter the competition go to abc.net.au/country

Disappointed in our ‘tidy town’

Having recently ceased working, I find myself with a lot more time to enjoy the town of Beerwah in which I have made my home for the past 25 years. I can remember when we won the tidy town awards and the pride and creativeness that went into this. What happened? Where did the pride and interest go? I find myself so totally disappointed when walking along our new overpass and road works to find that the weeds along the sides of the roads are taller than the two white fluffy dogs I love to walk. There is litter amongst the weeds, long grass that hasn’t been mowed for a while, graffiti on a number of walls and mould and filth everywhere. Is it so hard, when we pay so much in rates to our councils, that we should expect the town to be maintained? I know the care of buildings is the duty of the owner, however the care of the kerbs, footpaths, and definitely landscaping throughout the place is the responsibility of a very uninterested council. Visitors to this place find it so difficult to even find the places they are looking for, public toilet signs, seating to eat and enjoy a meal in privacy and shade; so many seem to wander and then move on, in stead of stopping to shop at our excellent business premises.

Candle-making The domestic task of making candles used to be as common as washing the sheets. Ethel Burgess of Glass House Mountains recalls her grandmother made candles using a mixture of animal fat and beeswax. Her grandmother was Clementina Burgess (nee Grigor), who lived at Bankfoot House all her life. “There was always fat in the kitchen, which came from the latest bullock that had been slaughtered for the table,” Ethel said. “The fat would be rendered down by boiling it on the woodstove and skimming off the impurities.” “Grandfather always had beeswax for his leatherwork, making harnesses and so on, so that’s where the beeswax came from.” 24

Beerwah High Seniors fundraising dinner

Last year I had the pleasure of attending the dinner at the Beerwah RSL where Year 12 hospitality students catered and served up a delicious meal and dessert for a very reasonable price. I would like to congratulate the seniors of 2009 for this great night. Once again this dinner has been planned for Monday, August 23, and I will certainly be attending with my family this year for an enjoyable and affordable night out and recommend you to join us.

New regional dump?

My son took these photos of the expansion of the national park near Mt Tibberoowuccum. We were wondering if this is the new regional dump site? As you can see from the photos, the rubbish and green waste that has been dumped there is disgusting, and the green waste that has noxious weeds spreading through the pristine forest. Letters to the Editor have reported on the trail bikes and 4wds that destroy the tracks; well this is just as bad, if not worse. At least the drivers don’t dump rubbish everywhere. I am sending photos to the Acting Minister of Climate Change and Sustainability, Anna Palaszczuk, and the manager of National Parks on the Sunshine Coast, Geoff Brittingham, hopefully they will go and have a look at the site for themselves.

A great deal for seniors

In response to ‘Shopping locally?’, GCNews July 21, I have been trading since June 29, 2005, and from day one we have offered Seniors with a purchase of a SUB, one free coffee, tea, hot chocolate and, recently, a bottle of subway water, with a value of $2.50. I think this is far greater value than a 10 per cent discount. As far as my pricing goes, thank god we live in Australia. I have the opportunity to run and operate my business as I see fit, and I reserve the right to price products accordingly. If you do the maths, it costs a lot more than $1.20 to drive to Caloundra to get a 10 per cent discount. This is far greater value than a 10 per cent discount. Caloundra, $7.00 footlong less 10 per cent = $6.30 for $7.00 value. Beerwah,$7.50 footlong and $2.50 drink = $10.00 value for $7.50. I have a lot of regular seniors that enjoy this system, and am happy to speak to customers who have any concerns on my mobile, phone 0418 555 657. Ken Bannister Subway Beerwah “Granny used a big saucepan to melt the beeswax and fat together and she probably added eucalyptus oil to improve the smell,” Ethel said. The candles were made in metal moulds. The ‘candle-maker’ that Granny Burgess used remains in Bankfoot House today. It is an oblong, metal contraption incorporating moulds for 12 candles. Before the hot runny mixture from the stove was poured into the moulds, 12 long pieces of string were inserted through the 12 holes at the ‘pointy’ end of the moulds, trailing out both ends. “After putting the pieces of string through, Granny knotted them together – she always used plenty of string,” Ethel explained. As the runny mixture was being poured in, the bunch of strings above the moulds had to be held carefully to ensure each piece of string was positioned more or less in the middle of each candle. “This was done on a big plate, because a bit of

the runny mixture leaked out of the holes.” “After the mixture had cooled and solidified, the creamy coloured candles were eased out of the moulds using the string,” Ethel said.

Seniors Feature The Glass House Grey Nomads

with Dr Braxton Turnage Amazing Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Seniors As we become older, we become less healthy…right? Muscles become weaker. Flexibility, mobility and balance decrease. Overall loss of well-being is expected. We will all eventually face these struggles…right? WRONG! These are issues we are destined for ONLY IF WE ALLOW IT. Take care of your body and it will last a lifetime. If you don’t, it is guaranteed to fail you much sooner in life, leaving you relying on others to take care of you. If you have neglected your body up until your later years in life, you are probably beginning to experience some of the problems listed above. Not simply because you are older, but because you have built up many years of neglect and your body cannot tolerate any more abuse. Continue on the same path of neglect, and you can expect these problems to progress as well. However, if you’d rather regain and maintain the ability to play with your grandchildren, work in the garden, and look after yourself without relying on others, there is an answer. Chiropractic allows your body to function at its fullest potential. Chiropractic is based on a few simple principles. 1) Your brain controls every muscle, organ, and function of your body. 2) These messages travel between your brain and your body through your nerves. 3) Your spine is meant to protect your nerves carrying these messages. 4) Spinal misalignment interferes with these messages. When you have interference to these messages, every part of your body is affected. Muscles can’t function properly, nor can joints, organs, or anything else. Chiropractic adjustments remove this interference by correcting spinal misalignments, and allow your body to regain its optimal function. Find a chiropractor and start exercising today. Your future self will thank you for it!

Glass House Mountains' John and Rita Cruickshank are definitely a community minded couple. They have been volunteering at the Glass House Mountains Tourist Information Centre since its humble beginnings, Rita is a member of the CWA, and John has been involved with the Lions Club for 46 years, and somehow they managed to find just a little time for themselves, having had some marvellous experiences on their ‘grey nomad’ travels. Since 1993 they have been travelling around Australia in their Toyota Dyna Motorhome that they bought second hand, 10 years of that travelling full-time. They have been around Australia three times and have visited every State and Territory. “It started when we travelled to New Zealand and for part of the trip we hired a motorhome," John said. “I love the lifestyle, it’s so easy. The company you meet, wonderful people. We’ve made good friends,” Rita said. It's not so surprising that their favourite place in Australia is right here, in the Glass House Mountains. “That’s why we built our home here 10 years ago,” said Rita. They have seen some beautiful places and had many adventures, including travelling on a railway dirt service track from Wittenoom to Port Hedland, after which it took them three days to clean the dirt off everything. Another time Rita was fishing, fell asleep, and was pulled off the log she was on by a stingray. They have been bogged in a dry sand riverbed at Hall’s Creek and once had the trailer they were towing come off. Their advice for anyone planning to become ‘grey nomads’, they would recommend joining the Campervan Motorhome Club of Australia. They also have one other piece of important advice. “Don’t put it off – do it now, not ‘one day’,” Rita said.

Seniors Feature Then and now – the great technology divide

Kids growing up today don’t know a world without computers, the internet, games consoles, mobile phones, iPods and iPads. Even things such as the humble fridge and washing machine are things they assume have always been there. But it wasn’t such a long time ago that even a landline telephone was a rarity in many homes. Technology has made enormous leaps in a very short time, so it’s not surprising that many of our seniors remember when life was a lot simpler - or was it? Landsborough's Jeanette Van Der Heide, 61, grew up without a telephone, her family had a copper to wash clothes, a wood heater in bathroom, an icebox and cooked on a wood stove. They didn’t have a car, and she was a teenager before they had a television. Today, she couldn’t live without modern appliances like the refrigerator, washing machine and television, but it’s only recently that she bought her very first computer. “I decided to get one for personal use. My family was saying for years that I should learn, so I recently did a three week beginners course at Beerwah Library. They’re so good here, the courses are so simple any one can understand it. Even if you know a little bit, it fills in all the gaps and everything makes sense,” Jeanette said. “I feel good about learning it all now. Like so many, as soon as I went near one, this panic barrier went up and the brain didn’t work anymore. But they convince you you’re not going to break it. It does make it a lot easier to send emails, documents and photos." Jeanette admits she left learning the computer for as long as possible. “I thought it would be very time consuming, which it is. You can sit down and an hour’s gone and you haven’t really done anything." So does she think life is better now or before? “I think I would rather before – it was slower,” Jeanette said.

Like most new retirees Brian Stallworthy, 65, and wife Leanne, 58, from Glass House Mountains, planned on living the grey nomad dream: travelling around Australia towing a caravan. But in 2005 that dream became a nightmare when 13 days into their trip a B-Double truck ran into them. Their caravan was reduced to rubble and they were lucky to escape with their lives. “We thoroughly enjoyed caravanning, until it came to an abrupt end,” Brian said. Although that experience ended their caravanning, they continued to travel both in Australia and overseas either by car, train or plane, having had some of the best experiences of their lives. “We wanted to travel to have a look around, but it wasn’t until the accident that we realised that you do it today, because tomorrow might not arrive,” Brian said. Brian, who retired from the NSW Police Force in 1999 after 33 ½ years and Leanne, who was an air hostess, have now travelled to every state in Australia, the Northern Territory, Norfolk Island, New Zealand, Canada and Alaska and more. But one of their favourite experiences was definitely close to home, a train trip to Longreach on The Spirit of the Outback. “It was absolutely fantastic, best train trip we’ve ever been on,” Brian said. Another highlight was visiting the Bay of Islands in New Zealand on the Oceanic Discovery and visiting the casino in Melbourne when a bloke playing a two cent poker machine won $1 million dollars. Despite their accident they would still recommend the grey nomad experience to others, but they do have this tip. “If you want to go in caravans the main thing is to insure the contents of your van, and keep receipts for everything, even clothing - over insure it,” Brian said.

Sewing the future Teena and Daniel are the husband and wife team behind Not Just Canvas, a family business they started from home eight years ago. Teena, a machinist with 24 years sewing experience said they saw a need in the market when they moved to Queensland. “Not long after, Daniel gave up full time work to concentrate on the business, and since then, its boomed,” Teena said. Not Just Canvas offers canvas/vinyl awnings (caravans and campers), repairs, alterations, 4WD canopies, patio blinds, camper tops, custom canvas work and more. “We do everything in our factory. Because we are a family business we share ideas and implement them together. We are working together to achieve the final outcome,” Daniel said. “At the end of the day there’s no complaints about late nights because you are both working towards the same goals.” These days Teena mainly focuses on the sewing

part of the business while Daniel concentrates on the fitting side, and say its their different skill sets that together makes them a great team. And both agree it’s a highlight when a happy customer appreciates their hard work. Not Just Canvas expanded their business last year to take over the warehouse next door to their current premises. The expansion has allowed them to provide a showroom of their products which includes Mountain Goat Campers. Located at 4-6 Boeing Place, Caboolture, operating hours are Monday to Thursday 8.00am to 5.00pm, Friday 8.00am to 3.00pm and Saturday 8.00am to 11.00am. Phone 5428 3994. Business feature

Don’t talk to me about politicians with snouts in the trough. The last year or so in the political and corporate sectors of Australia has convinced me that politicians are really acting as a good percentage of the wider population would if given a chance. The fiasco surrounding the housing insulation and school building projects not only revealed the incompetence of the government but also the greed of some citizens when it became evident that a quick buck could be made at a naive administrations expense. If the media is to be believed, large sums of money have been rorted in dodgy dealings in these projects. Overpriced contracts, shoddy work and downright dangerous practices have resulted in a number of deaths, the destruction of property and the wastage of scarce resources in rectifying these problems. I wish to point out that these tragedies were not just the direct result of a Government trying to keep the economy afloat by risky means. Rather they were the result of businesses and individuals taking advantage of a situation which they realised had few checks and balances, allowing them to dip into the public purse. Are

they any different from politicians who we accuse of abusing the system? I think not! At least the pollies can be called before a review tribunal and asked to account for their spending. I reckon that some people and firms did a quick reckoning and decided that there was little chance under the circumstances that they would be caught fudging the figures. It seems to me that there is a prevailing attitude among many Australians that if you can fiddle the public purse then go for it. A case in point is the millions of dollars spent by the Taxation Department chasing money that the citizens of this country owe the public coffers. Or again the unjust claims made on benefits paid to people not entitled to them. Whatever way we look at it, whether we are rich or poor, these actions amount to theft. In the end we all have to suffer through higher taxes and charges putting the onus on people who can least afford to pay. Whatever happened to the Seventh Commandment: Thou shalt not steal! Many of the original Europeans sent here 200 years ago forgot to observe this rule with dire consequences. Nothing seems to have changed in the interim.

Council news New green arts grant to unearth local talent Sunshine Coast Council, together with Arts Queensland, recently announced special funding for green arts projects across the Coast. The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) program has set aside $37,000 of grants funding especially for art-in-nature works. The announcement, riding on the recent success of council’s ‘TreeLine’ initiative, adds to the suite of green projects run by council, including ‘Floating Land’, a biennial sculpture festival which commenced in 2001, the opening of Queensland’s first Arts and Ecology Centre in Maroochy Bushland Botanic Gardens, and the visit and installation for the Conondale Range Great Walks by UK artist Andy Goldsworthy. For the first time RADF grant applications are available online. To find out more about applying for a RADF grant, or attending a free information session, visit www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/ Grants or phone 5475 7272. Applications close September 15.

Zooming into 2030 Cameras have started flashing across the Coast as residents try to capture what they want the region to look like in 20 years for council’s Zooming into 2030 competition. To enter, residents need to take a picture or create an image that shows what they’d like the Coast to look like in 2030 and then provide a caption that explains that vision. Captions must start with the words, ‘In 2030 I hope that…’ Zooming into 2030 is an important part of creating the Sunshine Coast Community Plan and many of the images and captions will be used as illustrations to make the plan more representative of the community’s vision. There are three categories for entry, 13 and under, 14 – 21 and open. $2,000 in prizes will be awarded across the three categories with an overall Mayoral prize of $1,000. Prizes will be awarded as vouchers to be used in three shopping centres across the Coast, ensuring the prize money stays local. The deadline for submissions is 5.00pm September 17. Further information about Zooming into 2030 and the community plan is available on council’s website www. sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

Kennel cough in dogs

Kennel cough (tracheobronchitis) in dogs is somewhat similar to influenza in humans. As with influenza, Kennel Cough is caused by a mixture of viruses and bacteria. It is highly contagious and is one of the most common infectious diseases in dogs. Dogs that spend a lot of time around other dogs are most at risk to contract the infection. Kennel cough affects the upper respiratory tract of dogs causing inflammation and a loud hacking cough being the primary symptom of the infection. Physical activity or exercise can aggravate more bouts of coughing. If the cough is severe, your dog will cough for extended periods of time and may throw up food or mucus. The colour of the mucus ranges from white to green (green means more serious). If this is the case take your dog to see a veterinarian immediately. Typical symptoms of Kennel Cough are: • A hacking and/or a dry sounding cough that develops without warning and worsens with activity. • Retching after coughing. • A cough producing a white foamy/yellow/green discharge. • Conjunctivitis - Inflammation and redness of the lining of the eyes. • Rhinitis - A runny nose with or without swelling. • A decrease in appetite In simple terms your dog appears to have a very nasty cold or flu. However it is best to take your dog to see your local vet for a consultation, as left untreated the infection can become more serious. Additionally Kennel Cough may be a result of underlying health concerns such as heart disease, periodontal disease, heartworm, parasites, throat growths, pneumonia, irritations, and allergies. So veterinary consultation is important if your dog displays any or all of the above symptoms.

News in brief How should Australia mark ANZAC centenary? Australians are being called on to share their ideas on how the Anzac Centenary is commemorated in the lead-up to 2015. Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Minister for Defence Personnel, Alan Griffin, said between 2014 and 2018 marks 100 years since the First World War. “The Anzac Centenary provides an opportunity to remember those who have fought and served in all the wars of the last 100 years, and those who stayed behind,” he said. “On Anzac Day the Australian Government announced a National Commission on the Commemoration of the Anzac Centenary and its role is to listen to the Australian community about how we as a nation should honour and remember 100 years of service. “All Australians – every school, community and ex-service organisation – are asked to think about how we, as a nation, should commemorate the Anzac Centenary and put ideas and suggestions forward to the National Commission,” Mr Griffin said. “Although there are no living links to the First World War – the legacy has continued through to the men and women who have served in the Australian forces since. During the Anzac Centenary we will honour this legacy,” he said. For more information about how to make a submission visit www.anzaccentenary.gov.au Submissions close September 17, 2010.

Yes, we’re still walking and would love you to join us. We walk each Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6.30am for about an hour.

This is a Heart Foundation group activity with certificates being awarded for the number of walks completed. You don’t have to walk every day, or for the whole hour – just do as much as you feel you can. Please consider joining our friendly little group for a great start to the day. We do hope to see you soon.

Ken Fullerton, president of the sports club, with Cr Anna Grosskreutz and Carolyn Male MP After many years, and a few unsuccessful applications for a Grant, but with money promised by Cr Anna Grosskreutz from the old Caloundra City Council, the Sports Club was finally successful in receiving some funding from the State Government. This meant that the Club was able to go ahead with its long planned new amenities block. Site preparation for the amenities block was commenced in early 2009 and building work was completed later in 2009. Funding didn’t stretch to the planned block of four dressing rooms and referees’ room, but two change rooms and the referees’ room were completed. The Club drew on some of its own funds, and there is still some work to be done to finally complete the current building. On August 7 the block was officially opened, and a plaque unveiled, by Cr Anna Grosskreutz and Carolyn Male, State Member of Parliament for Pine Rivers. Carolyn Male was our local member when this funding was approved, and is also a long-time supporter of the Sports Club. The change rooms are used on a regular basis by sporting teams using the grounds, and the referees, at long last, have a place to call their own. The Sports Club would like to thank Cr Anna Grosskreutz and Carolyn Male for their support of the Sports Club and for making available the funds to proceed with this building project.

Tuesday, August 3 winners were Darren Black and Judy Walker. Runners up were Carol, Yorkie and Eileen Pierce. Raffle winners were Judy Walker and Netty Cook. Friday three bowl pairs winners were the Eels again, second Rick Humphries and Julie Hart and third Eileen Pierce and Dick Metcalfe. Saturday saw the start of Pennants. Our division seven side was beaten by one point by Caloundra. Good come back by the boys. The division eight side travelled to Coolum where they were beaten by 43 to 37. A big experience for a lot of our new bowlers but the experience will do them good and I am sure they will have their share of wins before the season is out. The Bowls Club meeting will be on August 14, starting 10.30am.

Under 18 Player Josh Danzey scoring a try on Saturday against Caloundra The Bulldogs hosted traditional rivals the Caloundra Sharks at Beerwah on Saturday. The Under 18’s took on the Sharks who are one place above them on the competition ladder and looking to revenge the first round draw between these two sides. The boys jumped out of the blocks quickly and raced to a 20 - 0 lead at half time. The Sharks came out after the break with new found aggression and showed why they are also semi final bound with some neat attacking play but could not contain the home side in the end to go down 36 - 16. Reserve grade came up against the top of the

U7s and U8s carnival at Kawana Last Saturday the U7s and U8s held their soccer carnival at Kawana Sports Ovals. Each team played four 20 minute games with coaches and managers sharing in the refereeing. The kids had a fantastic day, meeting different teams from all around the Sunshine Coast/ Hinterland area. The best part was they played against kids they will meet up with again in the future. The Carnival is a great way to meet other soccer enthusiasts and gives the kids a chance to step outside their local hub to improve their already developing foot skills. It was wonderful to see so many friends and family there to cheer the kids on and to

ladder Sharks and after letting in an early try matched them for most of the game to just go down 24 - 18 in a very entertaining and thrilling contest. Domino’s Pizza Players Player Awards went to Daniel Bott (u18) and Nat Flores (Reserve Grade). The Bulldogs have their last home game of the season against the Nambour Crushers which on recent form should be two very good games of footy. The club would love to see all the supporters come along again to offer support and cheer the boys on. Reserve Grade Caloundra Sharks – 24 - (Nick Thomson 1, Scott Brown 1, Nathan Friske 1, Trent Prygoda 1 - tries) (Danny Joyner 4 - Goals) def Beerwah Bulldogs – 18 - (Nat Flores 3 - tries) (Arthur Soanes 3 - goals) Under 18 Beerwah Bulldogs – 36 - (Ashley Sleeman 1, Conor Ferguson 1, Manuel Al Waerehu 1, Joshua Dansey 1, Ryan Lucas 1, Peter Thompson 1, Ricky Shaxson 1 - tries) (Coady Bell 4 - goals) def Caloundra Sharks – 16 - (Codee Yimloy 1, Nathan Winnell 1, James McKinnon 1 - tries) (Christopher Ainsworth 2 - goals)

see the kids in such high spirits. It wasn't about winning or losing, just about having fun.

It was encouraging to see a few more players turn up for Wednesday bowls. Margaret Lehmann and Millie Freshwater won the pairs game and Chris Freshwater, Marlene Bertram and Rob Scullion won the triples. More players, both men and ladies, are welcome on a Wednesday to make the day more competitive. On Wednesday afternoon we hosted students from Glasshouse Country Christian College for their second visit, as part of their sports program. Some of the students are already showing some real ability as bowlers. The first round of the Ladies B grade singles will commence on Wednesday, August 18. Check the notice board for the draw. Thursday’s open pairs winners were Jonathon Orr and Ron Rix with two wins plus a margin of 26, with the runners-up being Bob Coxon and Rob Farrell having the highest score of 18 shots in the second game. Millie Freshwater and Jim Tatum scored the ultimate ‘eight shots’ on one end in the second game. In the pennant championship, round two was played on Saturday with Glasshouse Division two defeating Bongaree at home by two games to nil (62/46). Glasshouse division four played away at solander Lakes and lost two games to nil (57/35). Glasshouse Division five lost to Woodford at home with one loss and one draw (45/42). In Round three next Saturday, August 14, Div two plays Bribie Island (away) - players are to assemble at the Club at 11.40am. Div four plays Bribie Island (at home) and Div five plays Kilcoy (at home). Last Sunday was the Queensland Police Bowls Club McCombe Memorial Day. Over 40 bowlers had a fantastic afternoon of social bowls at the Club and as a result everyone was a winner on such a beautiful day. Winners were drawn out of the hat. Remember Monday, August 23 is the Open two bowl triples day with morning tea at 9.00am. Make sure you get your team in as soon as possible.

Old but not silly

A young man who was an avid golfer found himself with a few hours to spare one afternoon. He figured if he hurried and played very fast, he could get in nine holes before he had to head home. Just as he was about to tee off an old gentleman shuffled onto the green and asked if he could accompany the young man as he was golfing alone. Not being able to say no, he allowed the old gentleman to join him. To his surprise the old man played fairly quickly. He didn't hit the ball far, but plodded along consistently and didn't waste much time. Finally, they reached the 9th fairway and the young man found himself with a tough shot. There was a large pine tree in

front of his ball – and directly between his ball and the green. After several minutes of debating how to hit the shot the old man finally said, “you know; when I was your age I hit the ball right over that tree.” With that challenge placed before him, the youngster swung hard, hit the ball up, right smack into the top of the tree trunk and it thudded back on the ground not a foot from where it originally lay. The old man offered one more comment, “of course, when I was your age that pine tree was only three feet tall.” Heather Wright, Glass House Mountains
