After what seems like a year of elections, with the council one early in the year and our Queensland Government one now done and dusted, we just have to make it through the mainstream mediaâ€™s focus on the American Presidential election. For those of you like Brownie who love the statistics of how things have played out in the state government election we have all the numbers on pages 4-5. Clearly the electorate of Caloundra, which takes in our

townships of Landsborough and Beerwah, was in the spotlight in both

the lead up to and on the night of the election with the win going to Labor. And in Glass House we now have a five termer in our MP Andrew Powell. He has been in the job for four terms and has successfully gained another four years. After three shots at the title the Labor candidate Brent Hampstead had called it quits. And while I am pretty interested in what is going on politically, I reckon as we head towards the end of November, like many others, I will keenly turn from political parties to Christmas parties!

New home for doll collection By Sonia Isaacs Clark

Desley Malone from the Maleny Historical Society is thrilled with the generous gift of 600 hand-crafted porcelain dolls, which will be unveiled to the public at Glenferna, part of the Maleny Pioneer Village, during an open day on November 14. Desley said the gorgeously detailed dolls represented nearly 40 years of work by their creator Louise Cogzell. The collection is particularly unique because all the dolls were made by just one gifted artisan. It took volunteers nearly a month to

Hinterland photographer Marsha with one of her favourites in a bee costume

unpack the collection that had been meticulously wrapped by Louise and her husband Ron. “All the dolls are fragile porcelain so, in transporting them, all the dolls had their legs, hands and heads individually bubble wrapped and packed into boxes,” Desley said. “It must have taken Louise and Ron weeks to prepare them and, for us, it was like Christmas morning on steroids as we unpacked each box.” It is fitting that the dolls will be kept “as a family” in Maleny as Ron’s father Bill Cogzell was Maleny’s first manual arts teacher, with the family living in the area from the late 1940s to 1954. Louise married Ron in 1964 and used sewing skills taught to her by her mother to make clothes for herself and her family, and later drawing on these skills to design and create the clothes worn by each of the dolls in the collection. Louise joined a ceramic and porcelain doll teaching studio to learn doll making and to later teach the craft. In the early 1980s she opened her own teaching studio in Brisbane. The dolls are reproductions, with each doll requiring four firings. Louise ensured

each doll was dressed in clothes as close to the type and colour of original fabrics of the era, avoiding nylon or synthetic laces in her dressmaking. Some of her dolls even have human hair. Louise has enjoyed the public viewing her dolls in the past and knows how much people have enjoyed seeing the collection.

Desley hopes this unique collection will prove to be additional drawcard for visitors and tourists, giving people something more to see in Maleny. The open day at the village is on Saturday, November 14 from 8am– 3pm. For more details visit www.facebook.com/ historicalsocietymaleny.

State election wrap up With the state election over for another four years, here is a summary (collated from the ECQ and ABC websites and correct at the time of going to print) of what happened in the local electorates – Caloundra and Glass House. But first, a quick overview of the results for the whole state. The Australian Labor Party (ALP) triumphed at the election by winning 50 seats (possibly 51) and can form a majority government (47 seats are required for a majority) without relying on support from minor parties. This is an increase of two seats. The Liberal-National Party (LNP) won 33 seats (possibly 35), with Katters Australia Party holding their three North Queensland seats and Queensland Greens winning two inner-Brisbane seats (up from one). One Nation held its one seat in Mirani, as did independent Sandy Bolton in Noosa. Across the state, the ALP gained 40% of the primary vote (up from 35% in 2017) and the LNP almost 36% (up from 33%), with One Nation seeing the biggest fall in popularity, almost

halving its first preference count from 13.7% in 2017 to just over 7% this election. The Queensland Greens held its vote steady at 9.4% (10% in 2017). Newcomers, the Informed Medial Options Party, attracted 0.6%, as did the big-spending Clive Palmer United Australia Party. The next state election is not until October 2024.

Caloundra The retirement of the sitting member Mark McArdle (LNP member since 2004) left a greenfield opportunity for anyone having a tilt at the seat. As a result, a field of eight candidates – two independents and six representing various political parties – contested the election. Three-time Labor candidate Jason Hunt was attempting to take the longstanding conservative party stronghold seat from the new LNP candidate Stuart Coward. Making history and breaking a 116year Labor hoodoo, Jason swung enough support behind him to win

the seat with a 12.7% first preference

swing to Labor (41.4%). The LNP’s first preference stayed almost the same as in 2017 at 37.6%. The biggest loss was to Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party that received only 1,988 (6.2%) first preference votes, down from 6,576 (22.6%) in 2017. On a similar note, the last time a Clive Palmer affiliated party candidate ran in 2015 (as the then Palmer United Party), they gained 3,071 votes (10.3%). This election, the United Australia Party could only muster 250 or 0.7% of the vote. With the allocation of preferences, a higher percentage of voters subsequently preferred Labor over the LNP compared to the 2017 election. Jason ended up at 52.5% to Stuart’s 47.5%. This represents a 5.9% swing to Labor from 2017. First preference results for all candidates are: Jason Hunt (ALP) 13,230 (41.4%); Stuart Coward (LNP) 12,021 (37.6%); Raelene Ellis (Greens) 3,219 (10%); Luke Poland (One Nation) 1,988

(6.2%); Belinda Hart (Informed Medical Options Party) 773 (2.4%); Trevor Gray (United Australia Party) 250 (0.7%); Mike Jessop 244 (0.7%); Mathew Hill 235 (0.7%). Two party preferred – Jason Hunt (ALP) 52.5%; Stuart Coward (LNP) 47.5%.

Glass House In Glass House, the two major party candidates knew each other very well, with the ALP’s Brent Hampstead striving for the third time to unseat the incumbent, long-time LNP member Andrew Powell. Although there was a small two-party preferred swing towards the ALP, it wasn’t enough to get Brent over the line, and Andrew was returned as the member for Glass House for a fifth time.

Premier drops by to congratulate Jason Hunt

First preference results for all candidates are:

Andrew Powell (LNP) 11.847 (40.3%); Brent Hampstead (ALP) 9,420 (32%); Andrew McLean (Greens) 3,814 (13%); Graeme Campbell (One Nation) 3,002 (10.2%); Laressa McCoy (Informed Medical Options Party) 972 (3.3%); James McDonald (United Australia Party) 331 (1.1%). Two party preferred – Andrew Powell (LNP) 51.4%; Brent Hampstead (ALP) 48.6%. As with the Caloundra results, Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party support crashed from 6,525 (or 22.68%) votes in 2017 to only 3,002 (10.2%) this election. Clive Palmer’s popularity took a similar pummeling with his party vote dropping from 3,570 (11.37%) in 2015 to only 331 (1.1%). Andrew now becomes one of the senior LNP members, with only four other MPs being in parliament for longer than him.

After 116 years of conservative representation in Caloundra, Jason Hunt could be considered the poster boy for the returned Annastacia Palaszczuk government. With the Australian Labor Party winning the key conservative stronghold seat for the first time, Premier Palaszczuk took time out of her schedule last Wednesday to drop in and personally congratulate Jason. After several visits to the area during the election period, the Premier stood on the foreshore at Happy Valley in Caloundra, visibly delighted with the historic result achieved. “It’s wonderful to be back in Caloundra today with the new member Jason Hunt,” Ms Palaszczuk said. “I think everyone knows the history of Caloundra. It has been staunchly LNP for many years. It’s been home two Liberal leaders in the past, Joan Sheldon and Mark McArdle. “I’m very pleased that the people

HINTERLAND PROPERTY Call me for your

of Caloundra have

supported me and supported Jason Hunt. “I know Jason will work very hard for this community,” she said. Some projects Ms Palaszczuk said she would be working on with Jason included a new ambulance station in Caloundra South, completing Bells Creek Road connection to Caloundra and building a new high school in Baringa. In response, a beaming Jason said he felt terrific to be standing in front of the media in his new capacity. “My first priority now will be to set up an office so I can start talking with people again,” he said. “The hard work really does start from that moment on.” When asked if he felt there was an element of luck in his win due to Mark

McArdle’s retirement, Jason said that may have had some impact. “But the luck goes hand in hand with six years of graft and hard work,” Jason said. “It was down to a fantastic volunteer base, getting the message out, getting the Premier’s message out … getting the message out about the lethargic response that we’ve had in Caloundra from our MPs over a long time. “There is an appetite for change and people want to see some real tangible outcomes.” After Jason has a chance to take in the enormity of his life-changing win and settle into his new routine, GC&M News will ask him what his aspirations are for his role as the Member for Caloundra over the next four years.

Building strong neighbourhoods for better community disaster resilience Since the beginning of this year’s bushfire season GC&M News has been bringing readers regular articles on being prepared for the many potential challenges we face, particularly from bushfires and now the storm season. We recently chatted with local community development workers Natasha Odgers and Jody Blackburn about what they do. They also told us why neighbourhood connections are so important in helping build community disaster resilience as well as giving some useful tips to help you to get to know your neighbours better. Q: What do you do as community development workers? Our role is primarily to work alongside and support volunteers in community groups in Glasshouse Country to connect with each other and the broader community. We share group processes that are largely about strengthening how groups form shared ownership, purpose, decisionmaking and actions addressing their community needs. We offer

opportunities for community groups to come together as well as offering more direct support if required. We are a not-for-profit program that runs as part of the Caloundra Community Centre. Q: Why can a strong neighbourhood connection help better prepare for natural disasters? Connecting with our neighbours is so important because relationships are the basis of strong and resilient communities. When we connect with the people who live nearby, we’re showing we care about people’s safety and wellbeing. It is in times of disasters that those simple chats we’ve previously had in the street can be lifesaving connections. We just never know, or can predict, when we or others may fall into trouble and need help. Authorities say we should all have a household plan for when disasters hit. Having neighbours’ contact details and identifying if there are any particularly vulnerable people in the area to check on are good to include in this plan.

Q: What support can you offer?

As community development workers we can offer practical guidance and support to people who are interested to start or strengthen connections with their neighbours. This may be particularly useful to anyone who is interested but may not feel comfortable to make a start for any reason. Q: What are some tips for people to connect with others in their neighbourhood/street? People may like to make a pledge to introduce themselves to a new neighbour or have a yarn to someone they haven’t spoken to before in the neighbourhood. In conversations, if we move past the talk about the weather into sharing our values and interests, we are, in a sense, opening the door to find commonalities, which can be key to having stronger connections with a greater level of trust with each other. Q: How do you organise a gathering to bring neighbours together? Having some pre-existing relationships and putting out a warm invitation for people to come together can go a long

Community development workers Natasha Odgers and Jody Blackburn way. It is particularly inviting if an idea or invitation comes from more than one neighbour, as this shows there is already a connection in place for people to join in with. Bringing people together in a place that is visible to others can also make it feel comfortable for people to arrive and leave when they wish, such as in a front yard. Q: What are some good neighbourhood initiatives readers could consider? Some ideas include having a longtable dinner, hosting demonstrations to share skills and interests, book clubs, house or street concerts, shared compost systems, verge gardens, working bees on each other’s blocks are just some ideas. If you are interested in ways to strengthen connections in your neighbourhood, you can contact Natasha and Jody on 0418 720 515.

Memorial unveiled Guests, members and representatives from RSL Queensland gathered at the Glasshouse Country RSL Sub Branch on Friday, October 30 for the unveiling of a military working dog memorial plaque. The plaque, proudly on display in the club’s entry area, features Fod, a retired military working dog who, after spending most of her life in the RAAF as a security dog, died earlier this year at age 14. Fod received a Canine Service Medal leaving behind not only an exceptional contribution to the service but a place in many people’s hearts, including that of her handler RSL sub branch member Adam Mitchell. While the memorial is a touching reminder of Fod, it also recognises the contribution of all military dogs, which, as Adam explains, is very important. “She was an exceptional dog and it’s wonderful to be able to have those nice memories of her,” Adam said. “But the plaque also serves to recognise all military working dogs and the role that they play. They spend the majority of their lives, if not all their lives, serving.” Adam and Fod’s companionship was summed up by one of Adam’s closest

friends, Tegan Bowden, who shared a touching tribute to Fod, saying you “couldn’t have Adam without Fod, and vice versa”. When Brian Machin, president of the Glasshouse Country RSL Sub Branch, was first approached by Adam about the plaque, which Adam built himself, he was more than happy to accommodate it, reiterating the importance of the club’s position of connecting members and sharing what is important to them. “It’s important that our members have somewhere to come and connect, in their own space and time, with others,” he said. “For our younger members in particular, it’s extremely important that they know that they have somewhere they can come and know they are always supported.”

Lest we forget Remembrance Day is commemorated in towns, cities and local communities across Australia at 11am on November 11. Australians are encouraged to pause for a minute’s silence and remember all those who have suffered and died in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. We mark Remembrance Day because it was at this date and time in 1918 that the guns fell silent on the Western Front, officially ending World War I. Locally, a number of events will be held for Remembrance Day including services organised by RSL sub branches. Beerwah Beerwah and District RSL Sub Branch will hold a service at the Turner Park Cenotaph in Turner Street, Beerwah starting at 10.25am. Please advise if you wish to lay a cross or floral tribute by contacting the secretary Libby Brown via text on 0401 532 144 or email libbybrown@westnet.com.au. This will be a COVID Safe event so please allow time to sign in. Social distancing rules apply.

Glass House Mountains The RSL Sub Branch at 1 Reed Street, Glass House Mountains will be open from 10.30am for a service with drinks and nibbles to follow. Mooloolah A service will be held at Café Mooloolah at 10.30am for 11am. Veterans are requested to wear their medals. Lyn and Lindsay Peck will be arranging a poppy display. Maleny Maleny RSL Sub Branch will hold a service at the cenotaph at 1 Bunya Street, Maleny from 10.45am. Mapleton Mapleton RSL Sub Branch will hold a service at Mapleton Memorial Park starting at 10.30am. All welcome.

Business News Have you been into the Beerwah Co-op lately? “I always wondered what was in the shed behind the Shell servo.” This is something that Steve Williams, the general manager of the Coochin Creek Fruitgrowers Co-operative (now also known as the Beerwah Co-op), says he’s encountered a lot over his time at the helm of the organisation. The Coochin Creek Fruitgrowers Cooperative was established in 1936 in Beerwah by 19 local farmers as a rural produce supplier and a merchandise centre for local fruit and vegetable growers. Over the years it has grown and expanded to include all the farming needs, home hardware, small farm supplies, work clothes and safety equipment, home and garden products, a garden centre and pet supplies that locals need … as well as the Shell service

station. The co-op is member owned – meaning that if you become a member, you become a shareholder. To make it easier for people to recognize the business, they’ve just had some new big, bright signage put up on the shed behind the servo. Steve says the sign simplifies their branding so people can find them more easily. “We’re still officially called the Coochin Creek Fruitgrowers Co-operative but we’re going to be trading as the Beerwah Co-op,” Steve said. “The new name means that people know that we’re located in Beerwah, that we’re more than just a supplier for fruit growers and farmers, and that we’re in the big green shed opposite the corner of Peachester Road and Simpson Street.” There are other farming co-operatives in the local area, including one in Glass House Mountains (United Fruitgrowers Co-op, which is also the Mitre 10) and in Elimbah (the Elimbah Co-op). But the Beerwah Co-op is the largest and has the most extensive range of home, hardware, property and farm products available. “We employ over 30 staff, making us a significant local employer,” Steve said.

“We have specialists in a range of areas who can help you with a problem or just give you some good advice on what to plant where, which bolt is best, how to fix this and get rid of these … our friendly staff are more than happy to help. “And we’re really proud of our brand new expanded nursery and garden centre too.” You can’t miss this new addition. It’s right at the front entrance, which is actually located at the back of the building. The co-op always had a few plants but now has a great range of seedlings, potted colour, fruit trees, natives, climbers, shrubs, shade trees and succulents, plus an impressive range of bagged soils, mulches, fertilisers and soil improvers. If they don’t have what you’re after, just ask Sue or Heather and they’ll get it in for you. So what’s next? “To complement the new Simpson Street signage on the building, we’re doing some streetscaping,” Steve said.

Council bid to increase urban development in Landsborough Sunshine Coast Council wants to change its town plan to allow rural lands to become future housing developments. The proposed planning scheme amendments identify large parcels of land in Landsborough as well as at Bli Bli, Chevallum, Forest Glen and Yandina. The council wants to change the zoning from rural to low density residential. According to information released by the council, the amendments are in response to changes to the urban footprint under the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017 (SEQRP) and to better reflect existing development approvals or desired future land uses for these sites. The Landsborough proposal involves 16 hectares of land – covering 14 separate lots – along Hardwood Road and would allow the properties to be split into housing blocks, as well as dual occupancies (duplexes) and secondary dwellings. The proposal will provide a financial windfall to the current landholders, as their blocks will become more valuable as a result. However, this will also be reflected in how their rates

are calculated, with the low-density residential rate being considerably higher than that for rural zoning. The council is required to undertake consultation on these changes. More information on the details and how to comment on the proposal are available at https://haveyoursay.sunshinecoast. qld.gov.au. Consultation closes Friday, December 4.

Update with Jenny Broderick Chamber President www.glasshousecountrychamber.com.au

There is no doubt that 2020 has come with its challenges. However, it has also provided us with the opportunity to think creatively. The Glasshouse Country Chamber of Commerce is determined to finish this year ‘merry’ well. We are working collaboratively with many local community groups to bring a Glasshouse Country Christmas!

Quota Maleny

By Sonia Isaacs Clark Earlier this year, the decision was made to wind up the Quota International organisation after 101 years. However, clubs worldwide were given the opportunity to amend their constitutions to allow them to continue to serve their communities individually under the Quota name. After 31 years of committed service locally and with an ageing membership, members of Quota International of Maleny felt that they had done their bit. In May this year a vote was taken to dissolve the club incorporated club. Secretary Jan Olde, who enjoyed 25 years of membership, said that while some long-standing members were disappointed with the decision to fold it was understandable, especially without the energy of younger members. The idea to establish Quota International of Maleny was initially suggested by Sir Walter (Wally) Burnett, who had been the local Maleny pharmacist for many

Quotarians visiting the STEMM (Supporting Teenagers with Education, Mothering and Mentoring) project at Burnside High School, Jan Olde, Val France, student Sandra Sulter with her baby and Rana Bartlett

years and became a long-serving president of the Royal National Agricultural and Industrial Association of Queensland (RNA). Walter had been involved with organising a book fest with other Quota clubs on the coast and approached Carmel Andersen, matron at the Maleny Soldiers Memorial Hospital, to encourage her to establish a local organisation. With assistance from Quota Caloundra, Quota Maleny was first chartered on November 11, 1989. Jan said she thought the first meeting was held at a business near the main street in Maleny with Desley Malone, Carmel Anderson, Susan Rough and Vicky Heading among the original charter members. In the early 1990s the club started one of its best known fundraising initiatives, the annual debutante ball, which for many years would prove to be the social highlight of the year. Jan recalled that in the early years of the ball, it was Sir Walter’s wife Lady Mabel who would teach the young local debs to dance. The local community was very supportive of the ventures of the Maleny service clubs and over the years Quota fundraising led to it providing about $140,000 in support. Quota’s interest had primarily been towards supporting disadvantaged women and children through financial support for local families in financial need, and assisting people with speech and hearing impairments, with fundraising directed to organisations aligned with these goals such as the Hear and Say Centre in Nambour. Numerous local organisations have benefitted from the work of Maleny Quotarians including school chaplaincies, the SES, Rural Fire Brigade, Girl Guides

Quotarians Karen Binstead and Narelle Thamm at the first quilt show in 2004 and the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre, to name a few. One of the biggest fundraisers was the Quota run café at the annual Caloundra Show held in Maleny. The café was originally run by local sporting clubs but Jan said Quota were approached to take over the space in the mid-2000s and had run the café successfully for a number of years since. Another great fundraiser and highly anticipated annual event was the Quota Quilt Show held every May long weekend, drawing attendees and exhibitors from as far afield as Brisbane and Gympie. Jan said the biggest changes over the years had been the introduction of GST, which resulted in the club becoming incorporated, and the use of computers, which saw all correspondence traditionally received by snail mail easily accessible online, effectively streamlining many of the administrative processes. While the members of Quota International of Maleny have now hung up their organisation’s service hats, a future social group will continue based on the considerable friendships forged by members over the past 31 years.

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

Community News Landsborough filmmaker loving local By Sonia Isaacs Clark Landsborough-based scriptwriter, producer and director Tam Sainsbury is keen to showcase the Sunshine Coast as a thriving hub of creative talent with an enviable backdrop of stunning locations. Tam is currently directing and co-producing a new web series called ‘Perfect Messy Love’, scheduled for release in mid-December which was developed with investment from Screen Queensland through the Digital Conversions program. Tam described the nine episode, Christmas-themed romantic comedy as “light, fluffy and fun” and just what everyone needs after what can best be described as a challenging year. Shot on location across the coast, with imagery of the Glasshouse Country region highlighting the visual appeal of our hinterland backyard, Tam said she was committed to raising the profile of the film and television industry locally. “One of the best things to come out of the COVID-19 restrictions was the realisation that with so much of our industry interaction and collaborations now moving to a greater online focus, you no longer have to be living in a big city to be an active part of the film and TV industry,” Tam said. “I can be working from home getting inspired by looking out to the Glass House Mountains and still have meetings with colleagues and talent in Melbourne and Sydney without having to jump on a plane.” Tam has been busy the past few years working on the drama ‘Time and Place’, which was also originally

Local film maker and director Tam Sainsbury on the set of Perfect Messy Love shot on the Sunshine Coast, that is in the process of being picked up for television release with new cast members including Bec Hewitt. However, COVID-19 has suspended production until next year. With a gap in production commitments, Tam decided to follow through with a locally driven project that had been “bubbling away” at the back of her mind for a while. “It’s exciting to work on this new project, especially after the frustrations of having to halt the other production,” Tam said. “I absolutely love being able to feel creatively inspired working here out of the hinterland and I love the country feel and supportive community around us.” To stay up to date with the new series ‘Perfect Messy Love’ on socials follow @perfectmessylove or like the Facebook www.facebook.com/perfectmessylove.

Vale Manfred Siegfried Ziegert The chapel at the Solothurn Rural Resort was packed with the friends and family of Reesville resident Manfred Ziegert on Friday, October 9. Manfred was a much-loved community member, wood craftsman and businessman. Manfred, who was 82 when he died, was known as a hospitable and generous man. He was a master cabinet maker, renowned for his considerable skill working with wood and restoration of antique furniture. His work can be found throughout the hinterland and examples of his work were on display in the chapel where the service was held and that he helped to build. It was also the location 20 years ago of his joyous wedding to Lili Strub, the second love of his life. In 1982 Manfred immigrated to Australia with his first wife Heidi and daughters Claudia and Ulrike (Ulli). While visiting friends on the Sunshine Coast hinterland, he and Heidi fell in love with land in Reesville, moving to the area the following year.

Lili and Manfred on their wedding day

Enjoying their country lifestyle, Manfred setup a successful cabinet making and furniture business. Sadly, Heidi died in 1988 and Manfred buried himself in his work. Manfred still actively involved himself in the community. A significant event of note was the annual neighbourhood Christmas party he established with local friends, Jill Morris and Carmel Givens. The event will still go ahead this year to mark its 30th year.

Lili first met Manfred in 1999 when she came up from Sydney to visit her nephew who ran the Swiss bakery in Maleny. The couple hit it off, though it took 11 proposals before Lili agreed to marry him. In December 2006, Manfred and Lili set up Manfredâ€™s Wood and Antique Shop, which they ran together for ten years until their semi-retirement in 2016. Lili said that Manfredâ€™s hospitality to his friends was tremendous and, no matter what he was working on or doing, he would down tools and invite visitors in for a drink. He was well known for his

Mani outside antique shop and workshop beer, strawberry wine and cider, and loved a glass of chilled vodka with his sauerkraut. Manfred was born in Hirschberg im Schlesien, Germany. Growing up in post-war East Germany was hard and as a young man Manfred was apprenticed as a cabinet maker. In 1960 he escaped from East to West Germany and worked in the VW factory, resulting in a love of Kombi vans, as well as the factory food of mashed potatoes, sauerkraut and Hungarian goulash. Manfred had a passion for cars. One of the first things he did on arrival in Australia was to purchase one of his beloved VW Kombis. In 2014 Manfred was diagnosed with arterial fibrillation and at the beginning of 2020 his condition worsened. Resulting surgery was unsuccessful and led to complications with Manfred passing away at the Sunshine Coast Private Hospital on September 30, surrounded by loved ones. Friends farewelled Manfred by remembering his considerable warmth and hospitality.

The successful recipient of the Zonta Club of the Blackall Range’s 2019 tertiary humanities scholarship, Lisa McDonald, recently shared her story with club members about the role the scholarship played in her current professional appointment. Lisa used the $1,500 scholarship to subsidise expenses associated with her internship at the Cisarua Refugee Learning Centre (CRLC) in West Java earlier this year. CRLC is a refugee-led education initiative for refugees living in Indonesia during protracted displacement. Lisa’s role was offering professional development to beginner teachers and supporting them in developing programs. Lisa undertook this placement as the third component of a Master of International Development through the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC). As an educator of more than 25 years Lisa was able to collaborate with the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), which had been working at CRLC since 2015. Arriving home before COVID-19 struck, Lisa completed her masters in April and received a call from one of the educators she had worked with in Indonesia offering her a contract with UTS to write a series of teacher training modules for beginner teachers at the refugee centre.

Lisa said that as refugee families often had to remain in Indonesia for up to 25 years, volunteers from the refugee community, with little or no training or experience, set up schools recognising the need to educate their children. “It is very important work and I hope to be able to return when restrictions are lifted to continue to support this refugee community in Cisarua,” she said. Lisa has been an active member of the Maleny community since arriving as a teacher and musician in 1997 to housesit for her uncle and, except for study and overseas work, she never left. Zonta Blackall Range presents one or two scholarships to second year tertiary students each year. The club also seeks applicants for a Young Women in Public Affairs Award that may lead to a Zonta International award for young women aged 17-19 years. Student wishing to apply for any of these awards should contact the club at scholarship@zontablackallrange.org.au.

by the Maleny Library Staff Stories on screen Many books in our collection have been made into movies that are also in our collection. Why not use your library card to borrow a DVD or stream a film of the book you’ve just read, for free? Here are some suggestions to get started: Henry V William Shakespeare’s ‘Henry V’ concentrates on the events leading up to and following the Battle of Agincourt. If you enjoyed the play, you may also like ‘The Hollow Crown’, a film adaptation starring Tom Hiddleston (of ‘Avengers’ fame). There is also David Michôd and Joel Edgerton’s powerful and award winning ‘The King’, based on Shakespeare’s ‘Henry IV’ and ‘Henry V’, starring Edgerton as Falstaff. 4 stars ‘A man called Ove’ Written by Fredrik Backman, this is a heart-warming story set in modern times. Ove is cranky with everybody and everything, but with the help of his neighbours he finds

reasons to keep living and loving again. It will be interesting to see Ove played by Tom Hanks in the upcoming American version, but for now we recommend the original Swedish version in our collection directed by Hannes Holm. 3 stars Little Women Another classic tale, ‘Little Women’ by Louisa May Alcott follows the close-knit March sisters as they experience the sorrows and joys of growing up. There have been many movie adaptations and the library has a number of them. However, the latest directed by Greta Gerwig and including well-known actors Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Timothée Chalamet (Henry in ‘The King’), Meryl Streep and Chris Cooper, is a joy. 3.5 stars For more great stories on screen in our adult and young adult collections, check our website under What’s on and subscribe to the Library eNews to stay informed about other free library activities. https://library.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

Nup to the Cup, a local alternative By Sonia Isaacs Clark In the past few years there has been growing support for alternative celebrations to the Melbourne Cup, as public dialogue intensifies around animal welfare concerns, particularly regarding the treatment of racehorses. Organisers of a Nup to the Cup event at Tesch Park in Maleny, held on Melbourne Cup day, provided a local alternative that included fun novelty inspired races, fashion judging and a chance for attendees to find out more about the Nup to the Cup movement. Key organiser Jan Rozanski said the idea to host a FARK (Fun Alternative Race Karnival) event came together relatively quickly, with the decision to host the event planned only a week out from the gathering. She said community response had been predominantly positive, with a lot of local online encouragement leading up to the event. “Interestingly, when we were walking

around Maleny handing out the event flyers, most of the young people seemed very aware of the animal welfare issues, with many saying they do not support the Melbourne Cup at all,” Jan said. Kicking off at 12.30pm, the Tesch Park gathering saw around 25 people drop by, with attendees enjoying live entertainment, novelty races including tomato and spoon and dodgy knee chases, and a fashion on Tesch Park competition with a “compassionista” outfit a clear winner on the day. Jan appreciated the opportunity to raise awareness about some of the animal welfare impacts of the racing industry. She was heartened to see the groundswell of support for the message of organisations such as the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses, as well as mounting political pressure to abolish cruelty to animals. “It was wonderful to see Nup to the Cup trending on social media and we were pleased to show our solidarity with this movement that is gaining momentum across the country. It’s a callout to Australia to take a stand, and we were keen to show our support,” Jan said.

USC sets wheels in motion for new career When Matthew McCurdy finished high school 17 years ago, the competitive cyclist completed a biochemistry degree, achieved success in team-racing human-powered vehicles and worked for ten years in bike shop sales and management. Matthew said he had always loved maths and science and thought teaching would be the perfect avenue to embrace that passion. However, he didn’t have the confidence to pursue it straight out of school. At 35, he is now the new science and maths teacher at Warwick State High School after recently graduating from the University of the Sunshine Coast and earning a University Medal for his excellent grade point average of 6.88 out of 7. He, his wife and two young children have embraced regional life in Warwick after moving from the coast where he completed his combined degree in Secondary Education and Science, majoring in mathematics. The former Landsborough resident enrolled at USC because he wanted to be able to look back on his life and be proud of his career and the people he helped. “I felt my life skills and maturity would set me up to come back to tertiary education as a mature-aged student

and make the most of all of my opportunities.” Matthew said. He is finding teaching both rewarding and challenging. He particularly enjoys seeing students have “lightbulb moments” when he relates the content to their lives. Matthew’s USC degree equipped him with a solid foundation of maths and science content, along with the skills to tailor learning to a range of classroom environments. In his final year he enrolled in the Queensland Government’s Teacher Education Centre of Excellence program, supported by USC, which guaranteed him a permanent position in a regional location on graduation. Applications are open to study at USC in 2021. To find out more go to: www.usc.edu.au/study

Community Groups Sunset social

Probus goes cruising

A balmy spring evening was the perfect backdrop to the inaugural sunset social held at Glasshouse Country Care in Beerwah, with attendees enjoying an evening of great company, nibbles and drinks served from the new custom-made bar. General manager Clare Mullins said it was lovely to see everyone out and about enjoying themselves again. “It has been a tough year but maintaining social connections is so important,” Clare said. Glasshouse Country Care has seen a gradual return to activities with precautions taken to keep everyone COVID safe. Clients have enjoyed a variety of activities recently including an Oktoberfest celebration, hoy, mystery tours and the always popular Melbourne Cup lunch. If you would like more information on the social programs conducted by Glasshouse Country Care, call them on 5494 6948.

Barman Phillip Shaw

Contributed by Norma McCormack Glass House Mountains Probus members enjoyed a great trip on the Mooloolaba canals, including lunch. In spite of the weather forecast, the luncheon cruise took place in glorious weather. Those who elected to travel straight home afterwards were there before the severe storm broke. Those who attended our October meeting had a real talk fest as there was much to catch up on after the long break. One new member was inducted and another induction is planned this month. November will be the last meeting for 2020, so hopefully we will return refreshed in 2021.

With all the stay-at-home restrictions this year, Christmas lunch at the Hideaway in November will be an exciting event for us. This year there will be no place tags in sight so we can move about to enjoy to the max good food, good wine and good conversation. Anyone wishing to share with Probus in fellowship and fun contact Norma McCormack on 5439 0446.

Peachester Horticultural Society

Contributed by Trish Bradford Many thanks to Katrina Odgers for inviting us to her lovely cottage-style garden for last month’s meeting. As Pam Innes, who normally organises the competition bench, couldn’t attend, members organised it and judging went ahead. It was good to see more members entering. Results from the competition bench for September were first place to Trish Bradford on 19 points and second place to Suella Suella Lanceley and Rob Morris

Lanceley on 17 points. Congratulations. The highlight of the meeting was exploring the garden and collecting cuttings and seeds. For a suburban block, there were plenty of interesting elements including a couple of small ponds, a few chooks and potted plants. The raised garden beds were colourful with mainly perennial plants and Katrina has some outstanding roses. The next meeting is on Thursday, November 19 at 9.30am in the garden of Trish and Gary Bradford. This is our final meeting for the year so bring along your own meat or something for a barbeque lunch, as well as a chair and a few Christmassy treats will be welcomed. Visitors and new members are always welcome. For more information phone 5496 9169.

ANZ closure

I sent a registered letter to the ANZ CEO Shayne Elliott on September 23. I received a reply from the senior complex complaints consultant on October 9, who only re-iterated what was in the original letter from the ANZ’s Sunshine Coast district manager Mr Glenn Karberry. As a result, I am disgusted and disappointed with the so-called service offered. I would love to see a petition started so that all of us who are reliant on personal service can be heard. In the meantime, for those who are willing to also write letters, the following addresses might help.

Thank you Glass House!

To the voters of Glass House – thank you. Thank you for placing your trust in me to continue representing you and our beautiful electorate for another four years. I am deeply humbled to remain in this role, doing what I love. I’d like to thank the other candidates who ran for Glass House. Putting your hand up to represent your community takes a lot of time, effort and sacrifice. I want to recognise the work they put in and to wish them all the best in whatever comes next for them. As for the LNP, unfortunately now was not our time but I am proud of our party and the campaign we ran. I particularly acknowledge the leadership of Deb Frecklington, an extraordinary, passionate, personable leader. We offered a vision for what we believe Queensland can become. We will continue to fight hard each and every day for Queensland to see that vision still

become a reality, by holding the Labor government to account. Being a Member of Parliament is an extraordinary privilege. I have never forgotten that, I never take it for granted and will continue to serve you to the best of my ability. As always, I will make myself accessible to anyone who needs assistance. Whether it be via email, phone call, meeting or mobile office, I will be there to hear you and represent Glass House in Parliament. I will be a representative for all. It doesn’t matter whether you voted for me or not, please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any concerns or issues you might have that you feel I may be able to assist you with. Again, thank you Glass House. I cannot wait to get stuck into working for our communities once more. Andrew Powell Member for Glass House

The letter to the editor in the October 14 edition, detailing the inconvenience of this closure, says it all. The arrogance shown by ANZ is beyond belief, let alone firing their staff as well, and only shows that they don’t care about their customers. Pamela Owens Landsborough

What speed limit?

Every morning I walk to the Maleny Golf course along Obi Lane. There is a speed limit restriction of 50km but this does not stop the tradies and some members of the Maleny Golf Club hurtling down that lane at well beyond the limit. I was once abused by a member of the golf club for

reminding him to stick to the speed limit. After that incident I spoke to the responsible officer at the Sunshine Coast Council who told me that they were monitoring the amount of traffic down that lane. When I suggested that there should be a speed hump down the lane, he told me that our mayor does not like speed humps. Equally complaints to police have fallen on deaf ears. It won't be long before there will be a serious accident down that lane. Roy Clogstoun Maleny

Reference links

Re Richard Giles’s letter in the October 28 edition, I always think it best when quoting a research report to include the reference so interested parties can read further. I found it difficult to find and others may too. In this case it is an important commentary by Richard and worthy of a read.

Illuminated sign Maleny

The proposed 6mx2m Illuminated advertising pylon for the service station/ fast food outlet on Cudgerie Street Maleny is cause for alarm. Why so big and why so bright in such a prominent position? It will be one of the first objects that drivers will see entering Maleny township from the south. There is nothing remotely as intrusive as this in the entire town and surely a smaller, less illuminated sign would more than adequately serve the purpose. Oversized, conspicuously displayed LED digital signage (if that is what this is) is not something that adds to an amenity. It certainly will not add anything by way of improvement to the quaint streetscape of Maleny. Is this the first of many such illuminated advertising signs to eventually adorn the whole length of Maple Street? Richard Proudfoot Maleny

Re: Yes councillor

Re Joan Tucker’s letter in the October 28 edition, I was thankful that Joan also phoned me to express her thoughts about the shopping centre proposal on the corner of Roys Road and Steve Irwin Way. I hope readers will remember my detailed comments in the November 19, 2019 edition. It is important for the community to know that as an application to change the planning scheme will automatically come to a full meeting of council, the number of public submissions, the viewpoints they express and the issues they raise will also make up a significant part of the report that informs the officers’ recommendations and the councillors’ decisions. The community has until November 16 to make a submission on the proposal. Cr Rick Baberowski Division 1, Sunshine Coast Council

Re: Cemetery signage

Re John McAllan’s letter in the October 28 edition, I am happy to advise that John also wrote directly to me and as an operational matter, council’s traffic engineering team are arranging for an additional sign to be installed opposite the property access to the Beerwah Cemetery, which will clearly define where the entry is located. I’m also meeting with council’s cemetery services coordinator to discuss the opportunity to improve the cemetery

frontage and develop a concept to be considered in the near future for capital funding. Cr Rick Baberowski Division 1 Sunshine Coast Council

Beerwah regional centre development

While I can understand the consternation of local businesses over the proposed major development in Beerwah, as a long-time resident of the hinterland I would like to put my case. Having lived in Mooloolah Valley and latterly in Landsborough for the past 30 years, my wife and I have supported local businesses for most of our requirements. The arrival of Woolworths in Beerwah followed by Aldi meant that we no longer needed to travel into Caloundra for the week’s shopping. Of course, we did shop at IGA but major food shopping was done at larger shops as most families do. However, we still have to travel into Caloundra for such shops as Bunnings, Chemist Warehouse, as well as other specialty shops. It is no longer a quick trip to Caloundra. Today, a Friday, we left home at 9.45am hoping to avoid the commuter rush. Sadly traffic was horrendous beginning at the new overpass and then backed up at the racecourse roundabout and a virtual

car park all the way into town. An hour later on the return trip, it was the same again. Once the borders are open the traffic problems will increase as tourists again descend upon us. Our infrastructure has not kept pace with population increases and nothing seems to be done about it. At least 75% of trips would be unnecessary if we had more services in Beerwah. Think of the extra hinterland

traffic that would take off the roads. Competition is healthy for business and an incentive to shake off the shackles of complacency. Coochin Creek Co-op is already preparing for the day with their new revamped garden centre. Good service will always have loyal customers. It is not always about money. James Aitken Landsborough

Garden reopens for learning Despite the challenges of COVID-19, the Beerburrum State School P&C is pleased that its members have been able to complete the upgrade of the school’s kitchen garden this year thanks to the generous support of the Rotary Club of Glass House Mountains through a $1,000 grant in 2019. The garden was originally constructed in 2012 as a Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden to assist students with learning where food comes from. Before COVID, the students cooked and ate snacks each week from produce grown in the garden, providing a garden-to-table education experience. Events were also held throughout the year to include the school community such as grandparents’ day, prep transition, National Tree Planting Day, student leader fundraisers and year 6 parent dining. Sadly, with limited help available in the garden during restrictions, the dreaded nut grass took over and it was decided fresh soil in raised garden beds would solve the problem. Thanks to volunteers Colin Goodall and Andrew Manuel, who were involved in the assembly

of the garden beds, and the generous donation of 10m of garden soil by Jack and Jakob Munt of J&K Bobcat Hire in Narangba, the garden is looking great. The school is now holding Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden classes again and have been using some of the garden’s produce. For the past couple of months the year 6 students have also been selling produce to fundraise for their end-ofyear activity. If local parents and community members would like to get involved in a fun environment with the kids, volunteers are always required to help in the kitchen each Wednesday and on any day to help in garden. To find out more contact Beerburrum State School on 5439 5222 for help in the kitchen or Hanna on 0427 873 701 to help in garden.

Christmas NEWS

Christmas at St Georges in the Hills The concert series at St Georges in the Hills that was so popular in 2019 had to be cancelled this year because of COVID-19. However, the committee has been permitted to present a Christmas concert (socially distanced) in the church, on the corner of Walkers Drive and Tallowwood Street, on Saturday, December 5 at 4pm. Priest-in-charge Rev Ann Shepperson said Sunday services were now being held in the church and on Zoom with great success, so they have the experience to produce a concert safely. “We can fit 80 people, properly distanced, in our church and the attached hall, so we are excited to be able to offer a special concert at the end of this difficult year,” Rev Shepperson said. “We will also broadcast the concert on Zoom so those who are not able to come in person can see and hear the concert with their whole family in the comfort of their living room,” she said. The concert will be produced by Kim Kirkman who is preparing a variety style program with singalong opportunities for the audience. “It will feature some lovely classical Christmas pieces, some early music and some a cappella singing from the choir. Soloists will include Barry Woods and the stunning voice of Emily Davies who was so popular last year,” Kim said. The concert will run for just over an hour. It will include Kim, who is a former Ten Tenors star, who will sing and also play his harp. A fun addition will be a surprise comedy song with local singer Trish Bagshaw. It will also feature poems read by Christopher and Judith Ross-Smith, who performed in last year’s concert. Judith’s short bracket will consist of a

Organising committee (back) Susan Myring, Trish Bagshaw, Margaret Walker, (front) Rev Ann Shepperson and Michele Retschlag story and a poem based on Christmas legends ‘The Grey Spider’ and Thomas Hardy’s ‘The Oxen’. Christopher will read the rollicking Australian verse by David Martin ‘A Bush Christmas’ and a poem by former Archbishop of Canterbury, druid and world renowned poet, Rowan Williams. “Appropriately, as the concert is in Advent, the poem is titled ‘Advent Calendar’ and it is typical of Rowan Williams’ poems – symbolic and thoughtful,” Christopher said. Prices have been capped at $20 for seats in the church or $15 if at home on Zoom. Tickets for both are available at www.trybooking.com.au or by phoning Trish Bagshaw on 0448 989 621. “Because we are unable to have afternoon tea this time, every member of the audience will go home with a little packet of goodies prepared by two of our wonderful guild ladies, and we will have a special Christmas hamper to raffle,” Rev Shepperson said.

Pampering for Christmas By Lea Parkes The team from Family Tree Café at Landsborough are keen to support one of their lovely regular customers, Jakkie Weeks who works at the Blue Care Aged Care Facility in Caloundra. Jakkie has put out the call to those in the local community to assist her in collecting items that can be used for creating a permanent beauty salon to add to the on-site hairdressing facility for residents. The plan is to set up the ‘salon’ in time for a special pre-Christmas pamper party for both the ladies and the gentleman who live there. To assist, Family Tree Café have offered to be a collection point for locals who would like to make donations of new packaged items for doing manicures, pedicures and beauty treatments including foot spas, hair dryers and towels. They will also need a range of consumables including nail polish, nail polish remover, hand creams, body lotions, make up brushes, perfumes and after shave. These can be dropped off at the café during November.

This year has been challenging for everyone, however for the elderly it has seen many additional restrictions placed upon their daily lives and Jakkie is hoping that generous locals will be happy to make donations that will help the well-being of the residents. While the facility is in Caloundra, Jakkie reminded me that many of the staff live in Glasshouse Country and many residents used to live in our local townships as well. The Family Tree Cafe is located at 6 / 1 Maleny Street, Landsborough and they are open 7am – 3pm from Monday to Friday and 7am – 2pm on Saturday.

Youkali on tour Acclaimed vocalist Kacey Patrick and Spanish guitarist Andrew Veivers combine to present an enigmatic evening of jazz, folk and world music as they bring their duo Youkali to tour the Sunshine Coast this November. Hinterland way, the duo will be playing at the Nambour Lind Theatre on Wednesday, November 25 and the Maleny Community Centre on Thursday, November 26, with both performances kicking off at 7pm. Best known for her work with duo Stringmansassy, Kacey’s three-octave vocal range is a rare instrument combining sublime vocal intuition and beauty. Kacey is described as a unique and wondrous vocalist who has evolved her enigmatic sound over a variety of styles. Her passionate expression, captivating performance, vocal intuition and profound understanding of her instrument often leads her audience on a deeply connected and bewitching journey. One of Australia’s finest Spanish guitarists, Andrew Veivers draws on a wide range of musical influences to evoke the sensual and mesmerising sounds of the Spanish guitar in all of its guises.

with Dr Michael Whiticker

Songwriters, we are such a serious lot As a creative musician I am naturally drawn to the work of serious songwriters. However, perhaps age or the madness of life these days has mellowed me as I am feeling more and more attracted to humour in music. I have neither a comedian’s nor a lyricist’s gift but there are songwriters for whom both the music and funny words come naturally. I think immediately of Tom Lehrer, Randy Newman and Shel Silverstein as good starting points. And, although primarily comedians, there are some very funny songs from the pen of Billy Connolly, Tim Minchin, Bill Bailey and the Monty Python team (Eric Idle and Neil Innes) to name just a few. Other generally more serious writers have shown that they can turn their hand to humour when they want to. Ray Davies, John Lennon and Bob Dylan beginning in the mid-1960s spring to mind. The tradition, of course, didn’t start in the middle of the 20th century! Earlier there was Cole Porter, the Gershwins and Noel Coward, and you could find their equivalents throughout recorded history. Although he was rightly considered one of the greatest serious composers, Mozart

Kacey Patrick and Andrew Veivers from Youkali Deeply rhythmical, harmonically adventurous and unashamedly lyrical, his compositions reflect his ability to seamlessly join the rigorous research of a topic with the emotive goal and direction of a lyric or melody.

displayed a healthy sense of humour in his work, not just the naughty boy who composed the canon Leck Mich Im Arsch, in the 18th century. Comic opera was becoming popular around his time and by the late 19th century with Gilbert and Sullivan it was in full swing. Ribald or bawdy folk songs have been around since the year dot and satire in song writing surely has a similar lineage. One of my preferred from the 1970s and ’80s was the incisive wit of Frank Zappa. Parody has always been huge in music and probably the biggest success of the past 40 or so years has been Weird Al Yankovic. One of my favourite recent outcomes, however, came from Gotye who, in producing the video clip for ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’, left himself open for so many send-ups. Certainly contemporary methods of distribution, eg, YouTube, have boosted the visibility of parodies and funny song writers in general. Talking about that, a close lady friend of mine suggested John Williamson’s ‘Vasectomy Song’ for a good laugh. Hmmm. Do have a giggle this week. With all the serious stuff going on around us you’ll need it! Michael

Hinterland Heritage

With Sonia Isaacs Clark

Remembering those that served As this is the November 11 edition, we thought it timely to turn our focus to one of our local honour boards to acknowledge the significance of Remembrance Day. Throughout the towns and districts of our region, honour boards and rolls provide a poignant legacy of the tremendous commitment made by community members to the military forces that ensured the safety and freedom of our country. Around the hinterland, the boards are often located within the community halls and it’s worth taking the time to look at them as they often contain family names that are still familiar today. With the recent conservation work completed on the Glass House Mountains Honour Board, which was commissioned towards the end of World War I and originally housed at the railway station, we are focussing on it. At the time the board was unveiled an article in the ‘Brisbane Courier’ on October 11, 1918 mentioned the unveiling by Mr R J Warren (MLA) “in the presence of some 60 persons”. It was reported that the chairman of the committee, Mr W H Lister, spoke on what the board

meant to the relatives and friends of those whose names appeared on it and the board was unveiled as the national anthem was sung. As was typical of significant occasions and events, following the proceedings an afternoon tea contributed by the women of the community was served in the local community hall. Although undercover, the board was open to the elements and in April 1921 public consent was granted to relocate the honour board to the School of Arts. Another probable reason for the move was the formation of a Returned Soldiers League in February 1921 that used the School of Arts as a base for its activities. In photos of the board in its original location three names were missing from the bottom right column, which were added later. Information taken from local sources and the ‘School of Arts Community Hall, Glass House Mountains 1916-2016’ book compiled by the committee of the Glass House Mountains Community Hall Association.

The Glass House Mountains Honour Board (right) was originally located at the railway station

SAY NO TO SPLITTING BEERWAH In answer to some community confusion around the Roys Road Coles / McDonalds / petrol station project, the Coles Group Management have made some interesting clarifications. In relation to the Homemaker Centre, the Coles Group have said: • There is no Bunnings or Spotlight planned. • While Coles are managing the entire application process, they will establish only the supermarket and showroom, with the current owners of the site to continue with later development of the fast food, fuel and homemaker centre. • Homemaker uses will require further planning approvals. • Coles do not specify what ‘bulky goods and hardware’ means, but instead refer to a table of proposed uses in their Variation Approval Document. To be viable, homemaker centres are established in areas of

high population. Locally, this would be in the 90 hectare Aura precinct within easy access, just 10km (8 minutes’ drive) from Beerwah. If Council were to approve the Material Change of Use proposal, there would be no restrictions on what is built on the site. A simple Development Application change could see the proposed homemaker centre become professional premises, retail shops and hospitality in direct competition with our local town centres. Caloundra South has the shopping centre of Baringa to the north and Aura close by, and the future Beerwah East development will have a retail centre. With three new shopping precincts in close proximity, there can be no justification in splitting Beerwah to create a fourth. With local population growth and the anticipated opportunity for Glasshouse Country townships to attract tourists and shoppers from Caloundra South, there may well be the need for a Coles supermarket, but this should be located within existing correctly zoned land, where there is land available for such development. Businesses in a precinct complement and support each other, working cooperatively to make a vibrant town centre. To prevent the fragmentation of Beerwah, all concerned business owners and operators, staff and residents should take the opportunity to make a submission to oppose this application. Submissions close soon – on November 16. Submission forms are easily available at www.developmenti.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au. Go to ‘Application search’, enter MCU19/0267. Click map blue dot; then click on ‘details’. Click on ’make a submission or comment’, then click on ‘impact assessment’, where you’ll find a ‘notice of submission form’. Fill that out and post or email it to the contact details on the form.

In 1921 the board was relocated to the School of Arts where it remains today Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

Don’t ignore your tummy troubles Contributed by Amcal Pharmacy The digestive system is responsible for a number of major roles in the body, particularly extracting all the important nutrients from food and protecting us from bad bacteria and disease. That’s why it is so important to take care of your digestive system and give it the support it needs. Symptoms such as diarrhoea, constipation or bloating could be a sign your digestive system needs a bit of help. Speak to your local Amcal pharmacist today for a personalised treatment plan if any of the following are affecting your digestive health:

• Reflux or heartburn. Overindulgence can often be the cause but your Amcal pharmacist can assist with expert advice on pharmacy-only treatments. • Cramping. This may have different causes that can be treated with pharmacy medicines, hot packs and plenty of rest and fluids. • Diarrhoea. Most cases resolve after a day or two but treatment is still important. • Constipation. This can come from a change in routine or diet but you may benefit from a medication review.

ABLV is like the rabies virus and infection can be fatal,” Dr Chatterji said. “All bats are considered to be potential carriers of ABLV, which is why only trained and vaccinated professionals should handle them. “ABLV can be spread from bats to people through a bat bite, scratch or by getting bat saliva in the eyes, nose or mouth. “Bat claws and teeth are very sharp and can penetrate thick gloves or a towel, so do not attempt to rescue an injured, sick or dead bat,” Dr Chatterji said.

The Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service public health unit is urging locals and visitors not to touch bats, even if they seem sick, injured or dead. When we see these protected native species, that are potentially dangerous, we should look after ourselves and our loved ones by staying away from any exposure to bats, says public health physician Dr Madhumati Chatterji. It is important that both adults and children should not touch a bat, even if it seems to be dead. If the bat seems sick, injured or stuck to the fence the best thing to do is contact a wildlife rescue organisation that has vaccinated and trained bat carers such as WILVOS on

Life-saving partnership Fifteen dialysis machines are leaving the Sunshine Coast for Papua New Guinea, with help from Rotary clubs, after being donated by the Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital and Nambour Selangor Private Hospital. The hospitals are part of Ramsay Health Care, which has a long-term partnership with Rotary to donate medical equipment and goods that are no longer needed in its hospitals to disadvantaged countries around the globe. Ramsay Health Care’s Sunshine Coast Hospital Network CEO Justin Greenwell said that as the only provider of private renal dialysis services on the Sunshine Coast, they had recently upgraded to the latest technology for patients. “With the donation of all these machines that are no longer needed here, it’s wonderful that we can support people who are less fortunate in other communities that would have less access to these technologies,” Mr Greenwell said. A team from Mooloolaba Rotary Club arranged transport for nine of the dialysis machines from Nambour Selangor Private Hospital and the

six dialysis machines from Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital to Rotary’s Donations In Kind warehouse in Brisbane. Rotary’s Donations In Kind receives, packs and ships redundant but reusable items including hospital and school equipment to developing nations in the Pacific, with transport funded by various Rotary clubs and sponsors.

Elected Representatives with Rick Baberowski

with Andrew Wallace Fisher agribusiness roundtable Last week I held my first Fisher agribusiness roundtable in Beerwah. Agriculture is incredibly important to our region, bringing in $252 million a year and employing more than 4,000 hinterland locals. This year the industry locally has been hit hard by the consequences of drought, fire and the shortage of workers caused by COVID-19. The Morrison government is very focussed on supporting the sector and I wanted to hear more from local farmers about what we can do to help. We had a terrific roundtable session and spoke about things like drought and water, getting access to the grants that are available and finding the workers the sector needs. I’m grateful to the producers who came along and I am looking forward to taking their feedback back to Canberra. Remembrance Day Last week I visited Glass House Mountain State School, which has received a federal government grant for a new commemorative flagpole in the school’s memorial garden. The students will be gathering at their new flagpole on November 11, Remembrance Day. Pausing for a minute’s silence at 11am on November 11 is an important tradition that Australians have observed for more than 100 years. So please, wear a red poppy on Remembrance Day and whether you attend one of the ceremonies taking place around our region or simply stop for a moment of silence at work, I urge everyone in the hinterland to continue our traditions of remembrance and respect for our fallen defence personnel, now and into the future.

Division 5 Sunshine Coast Council

Planning scheme amendments for Landsborough A planning scheme is a guide that helps ensure the right development happens in the right place. Council is seeking your feedback on a proposed amendment to the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014, which includes changes in Landsborough. The proposed amendment relates to approximately 16 hectares of land located on the south-eastern edge of Landsborough’s existing urban area, generally bound by White Gums Street, Forestdale Road, Mellum Creek and the Beerwah East major development area. The amendment proposes to change the zoning of the subject land from rural to low density residential. The land adjoins Landsborough’s existing urban area and provides a logical extension of the township to cater for future housing needs. The proposed amendment can be viewed at council offices and libraries and downloaded from council’s Have Your Say website. Feedback must be received by December 4. Feedback will inform the proposed amendments, which will then be presented to council for consideration. Calling nature loving volunteers If you enjoy the outdoors, consider joining the next Coochin Creek Bushland Group working bee that is held on the third Tuesday of each month from 7.30-11.30am. To find out more, search BushCare on council’s website. Don’t forget to nominate There’s one week left to nominate someone in our community or a community group for a 2021 Sunshine Coast Australia Day Award. There are many deserving award recipients in Division 1 so make sure you nominate them via council’s website before November 16. Stay in touch For various Division 1 and regional updates www. facebook.com/CrRickBaberowski.

Improving your roads During November road reseal works are scheduled to be carried out on Rangers Road and Sinclairs Lane in Balmoral Ridge, Highlands Road in Eudlo, Winston Road in Palmwoods and Bendixen Lane in Woombye (weather and site conditions permitting). Residents impacted by these works have been informed and we thank you in advance for your patience as these works are carried out. Have your say Council is asking the community to have their say on streetscape improvements that will enhance both Blackall Street, Woombye and Rosebed Street, Eudlo. I encourage you to get involved. Visit https://haveyoursay.sunshinecoast.qld.gov. au to find out more information and complete the surveys. The Woombye survey is open until Friday, November 20 and the Eudlo survey is open until Friday, November 27. There will also be community events in each town. Future planning Preliminary estimates for the next capital works budget will be discussed by council this month. Councillors Law, Suarez and I will be advocating for a significant increase to expenditure to seal gravel roads. The Sunshine Coast Council region has 526km of unsealed roads – 189km of those are for through roads and the remaining 337km are no-through roads. The capital works program for built infrastructure in Division 5 is well advanced and there will be major projects scheduled to commence in February on Glenview Road, Glenview and Hunchy Road, Palmwoods, amongst others.

Pork and cashew stir fry

with Lea Parkes

Night out at Baan Thai We caught up with friends last Thursday night for dinner. They recently moved from the Coast to Woodford and, with no Thai food in Woodford, they were happy to discover the delights of Baan Thai in Beerwah. As we are already fans of the restaurant we were very happy to dine in with them to share the fresh and tasty meals. With five for dinner including someone allergic to chilli I have to say we took no time at all in choosing five very different options - pretty much something from almost every section of the extensive menu. To start we shared the mixed entrée platter, which kept everyone happy, followed by an amazing looking prawn lasksa from the soups, a chicken larb from the salads, a seafood Panang curry from the stir fries, chicken with ginger (hold the chilli), pork with cashews and both the fried rice with chicken and steamed rice.

We are a fussy bunch and our only complaint was that because the meals were so generous and because of the size of the amazing Mooloolaba prawns, it was hard to get through all the food we ordered! Being a rather hot night we also needed quite a few drinks and with the most amazingly well-stocked bar, there is plenty of choice. I can confirm that they have a very impressive range of gins! Sadly the part of the menu we didn’t get to was the desserts so we will leave that for next time. I am pretty sure Brownie was eyeing off the Thai pancake with pineapple syrup and I am holding out for the banana and coconut cream. Will report back on that next time!

In the Garden Fall armyworm is on the march

What’s the yellow poppy-like flower I see growing along the roadsides? Joan, Glass House Mountains

Have you heard of the fall armyworm? If not, you probably will as it seems this new exotic super pest is rapidly on the move across Queensland and beyond. Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) was initially detected on the Torres Strait islands of Saibai and Erub in January 2020. Since then it has also been reported from numerous sites in northern and central Queensland and has also been detected in the Northern Territory and northern Western Australia. Fall armyworm is a voracious feeder, impacting more than 350 plant species including most of our valuable field crops. When they are found in large numbers, they can totally defoliate the plants and acquire an armyworm habit, dispersing in large numbers. Infested crops have reportedly been destroyed almost overnight. More recently, fall armyworm has been detected in several new locations in southern and south-western Queensland in the Lockyer Valley, St George and Chinchilla. This follows a recent detection of the pest in northern New South Wales at Moree and Boggabilla near the Queensland border. This expansion of its range from northern and central Queensland is not unexpected as fall armyworm is highly mobile when it is in the moth stage, with long-

Hi Joan. That’s most likely Coreopsis lanceolata (coreopsis or tickseed). It’s a garden escapee from the daisy family of plants. There are other garden coreopsis species but this one can colonise into pastures, disturbed open forests and along roadsides and vacant grounds. It’s becoming an emerging environmental weed here and is one that authorities will have to watch and act on if it starts to get out of hand. distance flights facilitated by favourable strong winds. The Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) is working with industry to find ways to address the serious threat posed by fall armyworm to Queensland’s agriculture industry. In conjunction with industry, DAF now manages a state-wide network of more than 50 pheromone traps, monitoring local fall armyworm activity as an early warning system for farmers. The fall armyworm is very similar in appearance to a range of other armyworms and pest caterpillars. DAF has some good identification resources available on its website – visit www.business.qld.gov.au/fallarmyworm.

When we think of local native plants we often think of just the trees and shrubs, but South East Queensland is rich in its diversity of local native plants that can be used as groundcovers in your garden. Groundcovers stabilise your soil, cool the roots of trees and provide food and refuge for native fauna. Many exotic groundcovers are traditional old favourites but they are also notorious weeds in your gardens and bushland. Tradescantias, Syngonium, Singapore Daisy, Polk-a-dot plant are just a few of the worst and they pose a genuine threat to Australian bushland. The solution is to control and eradicate these exotics and go for local native plants for groundcover in your garden. At Forest Heart we’re stocking a great range of local native groundcovers that includes native Plumbago, native mints, Sunray, Yellow Buttons, Blue Harebells, Koala Bells, Fan flowers, Goodenias, Hibbertias, Pink Tongue, Paper Daisies, Lobelias, Flax lilies, Lomandra’s, Kangaroo Grass, Poa, Maidenhair Ferns, Rasp Ferns, native Violet and many more. Add to this mix some other great native groundcovers including ground cover grevilleas and there’s plenty of choice for natives in your garden. So, do yourself a favour and plant native plants, they’re good value, diverse in form and shape, beautiful and great for the local environment.

LANDSBOROUGH

Celebrating Celebrating 30 years in business THE team at Savage Landscape Supplies describe themselves as the one-stop local landscaping shop in Landsborough. This year the business turns 30 and to celebrate the team has put together a great prize draw that will be given away before Christmas. In 1990 Glenn Savage started out working for Beerwah Enterprises. He then purchased two trucks of his own - a Scania 10m tipper and a Ford Louisville - and went out on his own selling pine chip and bark under the name Savage Bark and Pine Chip Supply. The early days saw Glenn delivering pine chip by barge over to Moreton Island, which he would do every long weekend to help prepare the roads. While the weather was mostly kind, Glenn said he had a few interesting trips in some wild weather. Fast forward a few years and with the closure of a number of local saw mills and a name change, Savage Landscape Supplies grew with a focus to supply a wider variety of products for the local area. The yard is situated on five acres and Glenn now owns two Truck & Dogs, two Body Trucks and three smaller trucks to deliver any size load you may require. “Our customers have been really great and supportive over the years and we’re really happy to look back at our achievements and see how we’ve grown,” Glenn said.

Environment Rare tiger snake sighted … twice

War on Waste Tip for November

No matter what preconceptions many people have, snakes are a vital part of a healthy natural ecosystem. They help to keep populations of prey species such as rodents in check – and provide a food source for other animals – even those that have a more menacing reputation. One such species is the tiger snake (Notechis scutatus). Although they are common in southern states, they are rarely seen in South East Queensland. In fact, the Queensland Museum has them listed as being found only in small and isolated populations in the Carnarvon Ranges, Maryborough, Cooloola, Bunya Mountains, Border and Main Ranges … and locally in the Caloundra and Beerwah areas. In a rare find, a tiger snake was spotted during a Sunshine Coast Council

inspection of a reserve at Landsborough that was purchased through the Sunshine Coast environment levy. This discovery is only the fifth official recorded sighting of a tiger snake on the Sunshine Coast, the last time being 2015, according to senior natural areas planner Jacqueline Nolen. “Tiger snakes were rare on the Sunshine Coast because they preferred cooler climates,” Ms Nolen said. “The lower part of the Sunshine Coast marks the northern most extent of their coastal distribution. “Tiger snakes once extended north into the Noosa region. However, historical habitat loss and persecution has contributed to local extinctions and it’s now thought that this species is no longer found in the northern part of the Sunshine Coast. “Tiger snakes feed mainly on frogs but mammals, birds and lizards are also included in their diet and they are known to live in rainforest, heath and open forest. “The tiger snake is highly venomous and should be left alone,” Ms Nolen said.

Brownie’s note

In a strange coincidence, the same week that this information was sent out by the council I had my own tiger snake incident at Palmview. Stopping the car for what I thought was a weird coloured python on the road, things quickly changed when I gave the snake a tap on the back with my foot to move it along. The snake coiled back, rising up and flattening its neck and making an angry hissing noise (as tiger snakes do). That’s when I thought it best to retreat to the car and let the snake get on across the road itself. Like a good citizen scientist, my sighting has been recorded into the Atlas of Living Australia (www.ala.org.au), so hopefully it’ll be confirmed with another sighting one day. Tell me about your strange wildlife encounters from our region. You can email me on brownie@gcnews.com.au and photos would be nice too.

Glasshouse Country You can now recycle pens, felt markers and highlighters (but not pencils) instead of sending them to landfill. The Beerwah Salvation Army Family Store has agreed to host a collection point for our group. So when your pens, markers and highlighters stop working, drop them off at the shop. We will pass them on to TerraCycle, which in partnership with BIC runs the Writing Instruments Recycling Program. The recycled plastic will be used for products such as garden beds, park benches and playgrounds.

If you would like to join our group come along to the next meeting on Wednesday, November 18 from 6–7.30pm at the CWA Hall in Simpson Street, Beerwah. Phone 0427 873 701 or Facebook War on Waste Glasshouse Country for more information.

Glasshouse Mountains Advancement Network Mistletoe magic By Jane MacGibbon Mistletoes are a fascinating and diverse group of plants that sometimes get a bad rap. However, it turns out that these humble little plants might be an unsung hero when it comes to their role in natural ecosystems. There are around 1,500 different species of mistletoe in the world and all 97 in Australia are endemic — found nowhere else in the world. They are located in a range of habitats including woodlands, deserts, heathlands and even agricultural and urban environments throughout all states except Tasmania. Mistletoes are semi-parasitic canopy dwellers. They photosynthesise to produce their own food but rely on their host for water and support. Their specialised root systems allow attachment to the host and nutrient absorption from the host’s water supply. Preferred host species include eucalypts, banksias, wattles and casuarinas. A 25-year study based in native woodland around Albury in NSW found that the bird diversity in areas without mistletoe was a third lower than areas with mistletoe. Mistletoe has been described as a keystone

species, ie, one that has a disproportionate

influence on the ecosystem. These plants provide food and shelter to native animals such as koalas, possums and gliders, and birds and insects. They flower and fruit when few other species do, so they are often the only source of food for insects and animals during hard times. They drop large amounts of nutrient-rich leaves, providing food for grounddwelling insects, reptiles and mammals, and ultimately contributing to the soil, thus recycling nutrients back to the trees. The fruit is sweet and tasty and loved by many birds including honeyeaters, lorikeets, bowerbirds, cockatoos and mistletoe birds. It has a large sticky seed that is either regurgitated or passed by the birds, allowing dispersion to a new branch. The leaves are food for beetles, caterpillars, moths and butterflies. In fact, 23 butterfly species depend on mistletoe as their principal food plants. Dense clumps of mistletoe provide shelter and protection from predation for small birds and insects, and are often used as nesting sites. They also make welcome cool shady spots for refuge on hot days.

Maleny Bowls Club

Contributed by Graeme Glover A great week of bowls has been had by many at the club and the change of night, because of State of Origin, didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the fourteen teams that continued in our mid-week, night competition. It was a night of surprises and one which turned form upside down. The Golfers left their previous good form on the fairway to be given a lesson by the very confident Musketeers. The Outlaws continued their early form with a good win. Mighty 10 continues to burn the opposition which is no surprise knowing their all too familiar reputation. The Amigos have started well and no one’s looking forward to the usual north Maleny grudge match scheduled for a little later in the competition. Mos Marauders bounced back into the winner’s circle with a good win. RPT showed good form in defeating JAM. Oblimey took advantage of the bye to have some fun in a game of pairs. No one can pick a favourite yet for this competition as the last 2 weeks have turned up some real shocks. The Tutors could be the surprise

packet as they are known to show good late form so good wins are in the wings. The only certainty is the quality of the burgers and the cold beer on tap being enjoyed by the 42 participating bowlers. Take the opportunity to come along, all invited, everyone gets a game. Please note, it is Tuesday night while State of Origin football is on, then back to the normal time of 6pm on a Wednesday night. Scroungers continues to prove popular with good numbers turning up to play in this handicap format of the game. Come and try – 2pm for 2.30pm start on Friday. A reminder to those who enjoy a mid-week morning game. Come along on Tuesday mornings for the triple or pairs format being played at the club. Now that we are back to the ‘new normal’ for Maleny Bowls Club, it is very timely to acknowledge a big thank you to all those folks who regularly volunteer around the club to provide bowls for many in such a great community facility. Well done our volunteers, the members acknowledge and thank for giving of your time on a regular weekly basis.

The Range Croquet Club

Contributed by Ken Barker Rain and storms threatened again on the last Sunday in October. Despite this, a hardy group consisting of Janelle Wilson, Lynette Evans, Stuart Craig, Vince and Val Carbery, Nick Cram, Donna Manning and Priscilla Vickers waited out the rain to eventually be rewarded by good playing conditions. Janelle and Lynette teamed up to beat Stuart and Priscilla 4–2 while Val and Nick finished ahead of Donna and Vince 10-6. Thursday, October 29 saw a number of social games where results were not recorded as people just enjoyed the afternoon playing around. Lynette, Helen Andrews, Janelle Wilson, Wallace Roy, Bev Sockhill and Gillian Bradley all enjoyed the day while Nick and Ken Barker had a hard-fought draw on lawn one, finishing 9-all. Stuart and Helen lost to a rampaging Priscilla and Wallace 9-13 on a stormfree but warm Sunday afternoon on November 1. Donna and Val teamed up to beat Kath Smith and Vince 17–10. Ken was soundly beaten by 56

Sarah Widin 17-13. Our club holds a tournament every year in November that brings players from far and wide to play on our lawns.

A special thanks to Munro Thompson Lawyers of Mooloolaba who sponsored the tournament. Our excellent lawns are on the right side of the Maleny Showground. Play days are Thursdays and Sundays at 2pm for 2.30pm. Contact Sarah for other days. Coaching is held on Saturdays from 8–10am.

Horoscopes

Week beginning November 15

SCORPIO October 24 – November 22 Get ready for special treats to come your way. Enjoy every moment of feeling pampered and spoiled. At work your patience should finally be rewarded as an important breakthrough is achieved. A timely bonus could also make it easier to pay debts. Bills first, luxuries later. Sometimes everything just seems to fall into place.

TAURUS April 21 – May 20 OK Taurus, you’ve postponed a particular decision long enough. Now it’s time to do something about it. Sure, it pays to be prepared – and we all know practice makes perfect. The big question is: are you ready to give it a try? You’ll only know by taking action. If tensions do exist they seem more to do with immediate family.

SCORPIO October 24 – November 22 Often life’s chaos distracts us and we’re forever planning for the future, forgetting that to manifest what we want we must be in the present. Of course, it’s worry that usually clouds our judgement but there’s no need to fret. You have all you need and you’re progressing in the right direction. Remember, life is meant to be enjoyed.

TAURUS April 21 – May 20 We live on a planet where not everyone will always agree. End result? A battle of wills. Words may be spoken in haste and, in hindsight, with regret. Not to worry – time heals all. The true test, however, comes in learning to overcome obstacles. When one way is blocked, find another. When one method fails, devise a new one.

SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 21 You may be feeling restless but don’t force things to happen. It’s often easier to simply go with the flow. Should obstacles appear, see them in the same light as opportunities. Life is a constant dance Sagittarius. Choose the rhythm that offers you genuine joy and know that all paths lead to the same place – your greatest good.

GEMINI May 21 – June 21 It’s an ambitious week but if you want something done – do it yourself. Delegate a project and it may never be completed. So for now, it’s best to fly solo. Others are surprised by your sudden solitary approach but at least you’ll get end results. Finances? They suggest an exciting detour – as does a very close well-wisher.

SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 21 Get your head out of the clouds Sagittarius and take a long, hard look at where your life is really headed. Only then will you be aware of what is and what isn’t possible. To make matters worse, it could feel as if the laws of resistance have been applied to any plan you try to put in motion. Slow down and keep life simple.

GEMINI May 21 – June 21 For once, the world seems to be in tune with you. Instead of having to worry about pleasing others, you’ve more time to please yourself. It’s also the start of revived ambitions when you feel keen to break open padlocked dreams. Cash flow starts to be replenished too, and that’s definitely something to look forward to.

CAPRICORN December 22 – January 20 You’re probably still confused, not quite certain whether recent events were a delightful dream, a nightmare or just simply fate. Confronted by surprise or suspicion, this week forces you to explore new dimensions of your talents, inner truths and affections. Out of this intense transformation you will emerge, in many ways – reborn.

CANCER June 22 - July 22 When we look at other people we see many of their qualities in seemingly random ways. Yet the qualities that we see in those around us are often related to the traits that exist in us. Like attracts like is one of the spiritual laws of the universe. The question is, who are you drawn to this week?

CAPRICORN December 22 – January 20 As you undoubtedly know, absolute power corrupts. That is, of course, until you decide it’s your week to even the odds. Harsh words may be spoken and decisive action could be taken but it’s high time you responded to someone’s bullying. If this someone threatens to out a secret, call their bluff. You’ve nothing to fear.

CANCER June 22 - July 22 Much can be accomplished this week but, as always, genuine effort is needed. For some, health is put under the microscope – with exhaustion or dubious dietary practices areas of concern. Cash flow could also become a problem. Don’t fuss over what you don’t have. It’s love, support and friendship that are the real riches in life.

AQUARIUS January 21 – February 18 Feeling overworked and underpaid? Not to worry. Recognition and rewards will soon follow. Business travel is likely, as is more financial freedom. The time’s also right for disciplined work, which you’re more than capable of handling. Better still, all this dedication doesn’t flow just one way. The more you give, the more you get.

LEO July 23 – August 23 If you’re asked to tend to a partner’s or family’s needs, don’t oblige out of guilt. You have your own life to lead and sainthood is a tiring road. If you need some clear thinking space perhaps a few days break might let you reflect from a distance. The planets encourage you to spread your wings and fly – preferably somewhere quiet.

AQUARIUS January 21 – February 18 Aquarians are fond of fresh starts and this week you’ll either feel the urge to expand your living quarters or throw out some accumulated mess. Or you may decide to take a quick break. Suddenly too, everyone’s unusually cooperative – to the point you wonder where the catch lies. Perhaps your relaxed mood is contagious.

LEO July 23 – August 23 Fate, destiny or synchronicity – call it what you like – something’s about to happen. Trust your intuition. At work, expect to rub shoulders with more experienced colleagues. Friends at the top should have no qualms about helping you, so make the most of your contacts. The outcome could be sensational.

PISCES February 19 – March 20 Chances are you’ve felt restrained by regulations lately but you’re now given a chance to break free. Where others might hesitate before the fear of an uncertain future, you lead by example and show no doubt that you’re ready to move on. This could mean letting some old grievances drop, so be ready to forgive and forget.

VIRGO August 24 – September 22 This week it’s a case of lucky with money but, perhaps, unlucky in love. Career ambitions should proceed as planned but your satisfaction may be slightly clouded by trouble with someone you love. Perhaps you’ve been devoting too much time to work and not enough time for play. Don’t take loved ones for granted.

PISCES February 19 – March 20 You can expect too much from relationships and when your overlyromantic requirements are short changed, disappointment may follow. Ask yourself: have I been too demanding or withdrawn? Sometimes we erect walls to protect ourselves but in the process shut others out. This week demolish some not-so-necessary barriers.

VIRGO August 24 – September 22 This is a truth or dare kind of week – a time, perhaps, to talk from the heart. Maybe the answers won’t be what you wanted but at least everything is out in the open. If there’s a call for repairs, either to your home or a relationship, consider it like a fresh coat of paint – far less damaging than a sledgehammer. Keep an open mind.

ARIES March 21 – April 20 In recent times, you stayed calm and did your best. No one could possibly have asked for more. This week you start to make up for lost ground. One hint: work on your presentation. It’s all in the way you tell it and sell it. Even if presented with the occasional hurdle, know that you’re a stayer who’s in for the win.

LIBRA September 23 – October 23 It’s the ethereal rather than the material that captures your imagination this week. Now that the pressure is off work for a while, the focus steers towards spirituality and home. Creativity, love and children are where your attention falls. You work hard for your family so take time to enjoy them too. Dreams have significant meanings.

ARIES March 21 – April 20 Maybe you’re surrounded by bullies Aries. Maybe you’re dealing with pure stubbornness. Whatever the case, it seems that someone around you is behaving badly at the moment. Don’t let them get you down. In any case, you’re clever enough to find a way around their petulance. In doing so, you’ll soon watch those tables turn.

Week beginning November 22

September 23 – October 23 You often produce your best results when working in a team effort. Of course, it takes the right combination of people to bring about success and this is where some problems might arise. Finances, however, promise a much needed boost. Or someone close does well in the cash stakes, and you get to share their spoils.

Just for Fun GC&M News Crossword 752 752 GC&MNews Crossword

Just for Laughs Cough suppressant

A chemist walks into his shop to find a man leaning against a wall. “What’s wrong with him?” he asks the assistant. “He came in for some cough syrup,” the assistant explains. “But I couldn’t find any, so I sold him a bottle of laxatives instead”. “What? You can’t treat a cough with laxatives!” the chemist says, horrified. “Of course you can,” the assistant declares. “Look at him – he’s far too scared to cough.” Contributed by Heather Engler Glass House Mountains

Dam fish

A man walks up the street and sees a boy selling fish with a sign saying “Come get your dam fish”. The man asks the boy why he is referring to the fish that way. The boy explains that he caught them from the dam. The man agrees with his logic and buys two, then goes home and asks his wife to cook the dam fish. His wife asks why he refers to the fish that way and he explains what the boy said. So she agrees and cooks the fish. At the dinner table the man asks his son to pass the dam fish and his son replies: “That’s the spirit Dad. Now pass the bloody potatoes.” Aston Hogg, Glass House Mountains
