Veterans’ Relatives Gather To Celebrate Website Launch

All roads led to Canungra when relatives and descendants of the district’s World War One veterans attended the launch of a website telling the stories of some 135 soldiers and a nurse named on the township’s memorial to those who enlisted in the Great War. The launch of the Canungra Answered the Call centenary of ANZAC project coincided with the 100th anniversary of the evacuation of Gallipoli on December 18 and 19, 1915.

The website, commissioned by the Canungra RSL Sub Branch Inc, was made possible by a Federal Government grant and involved researching battalion war diaries, individual war records and speaking with the relatives and descendants of those who served.

Among the Canungra contingent at the launch was Cath Marsden, whose aunt, May Duncan Smith, was the nurse named on the memorial. DJ Smith Park, the site on which the memorial was

unveiled on ANZAC Day, 1938, was named in honour of May’s father, David Smith, who had passed away in 1935.

May left Australia to serve her country in 1917 and while nursing at a hospital in Salonika, Greece, met a British officer, Harry Wollam who, like May, was 27.

After the couple married at Salonika in September 1918, May sailed for England where she spent the rest of her life. She returned to Canungra only once, bringing her teenage son, David, for a visit in 1936.

The website, written by Lisa Stubbs of Headline Communications and designed by Duncan Carling-Rodgers of BCM, reveals scores of other fascinating stories.

These include Len Thomas, one of the tunnellers whose underground exploits were brought to light in the film Beneath Hill 60 and Matthew Horne who bravely rescued a pilot from the burning wreck of a crashed biplane.

New Water Treatment Plant Grant Allows RSL to Showcase its History

Seqwater will construct a new Water Treatment Plant at Canungra as part of the long term drinking water supply for the region.

The new $4 million plant will more than triple the capacity of existing facility from 0.4 to 1.5 megalitres per day.

Construction is planned to start in the first half of next year and take up to 12 months.

Seqwater Chief Executive Officer Peter Dennis said the new plant would cater for increased water demand over the next 30 years.

“The upgrade was identified within Version 1 of the Water Security Program, our 30-year plan to meet South East Queensland’s future water supply needs,” Mr Dennis said.

“Demand for treated water from the Canungra plant is projected to reach about 1 megalitre per day by 2045. Constructing a new plant was identified as the preferred strategy to meet demand.”

Mr Dennis said the main process and structural components of the existing plant, which was constructed in 1970 and upgraded in 1982, were nearing the end of their life.

“The new design utilises the existing raw water intake from Canungra Creek to supply a new membrane filtration plant located within a new plant building. Membrane filtration is the latest technology which produces great quality water very reliably,” he said.

The existing treatment plant and buildings will be demolished once the new plant is operational.

Mr Dennis said Seqwater would also be considering an off-stream storage to supplement supply beyond Canungra Creek as part of future water planning for the region.

Dr Harry To Run For Scenic Rim Mayor

Veterinarian and current local small business owner, Dr Harry Wever has today announced that he will run for Mayor of the Scenic Rim Regional Council at next year’s council elections.

“It is clear to me that many Scenic Rim residents believe it is time for a change in the leadership of our Council.

Because local government is the closest level of government to the people, its important that it remains fresh, vibrant and in tune with what the people want.”

“One of the skills I will bring to the position of Mayor is the ability to listen and consult with people. It is a skill honed from my 38 years as a vet. Dealing with the general public for that time has given me an understanding that to solve problems you need to listen, to consult, to discuss options and to come to realistic solutions. I will also bring these skills to consulting and working with the administration staff at Council.”

“As a current owner of a local bed and breakfast, I also understand the importance of tourism to generate today’s jobs and those of the future. I also know how tough it is for small business in the Scenic Rim. There are too many empty shops in our main streets and that has

interstate and overseas visitors alike.

Whilst it is acknowledged that Council has in the past worked hard to promote the Scenic Rim, it is time for an injection of new energy, new ideas and new leadership.”

“Developments like the new Toowoomba international airport, the massive Queens Wharf casino and hotel complex in Brisbane as well as the proposed Bromelton transport hub are all projects that can inject new opportunities for Scenic Rim residents. We also need to ensure we get the balance right between embracing economic development and protecting what is precious about the Scenic Rim.” “As a committed environmentalist, I will not allow development to occur at the expense of the environment.

Instead, I believe the Scenic Rim offers opportunities for greater investment in renewable energy that will enhance our clean, green image.”

“Over the next few months I will be sharing more of my vision for the Scenic Rim. But more importantly I’ll be out and about meeting residents and listening to what they have to say.”

Dangerous Act

From My Window with Keer Moriarty, Editor

What’s in Store for 2016 New Year Resolutions - I’ve said before that I don’t do them, but the reality is that human nature takes the opportunity to have a ‘new start’ from time to time.

Last year I resolved to ‘do less’. Not sure if this happened or not, it was a bit of a roller coaster or a juggling act but I did manage to ‘live for another year’ (which is a resolution I make every year - hasn’t failed me yet).

This year my resolution is to ‘have more fun and travel’. Ok, so these resolutions seem a bit hedonistic and trivial, but for someone who can’t say no (learn to say no - resolution for 2014 failed miserably), making time for relaxation and fun can be quite difficult. It leaves me in the position of meeting people and having nothing to talk about except work, work and work and realising that I’m putting everything else further down the list of priorities. Being essentially a serious kind of person, it is a bit hard for me to work out what ‘fun’ might comprise of. Usually work. But that needs to branch out a bit this year!

Here’s hoping that you have met the New Year in good health, and in the words of the amazing woman, Helen Keller, “Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.”

To the person who cut our electricity: It was a dangerous act cutting the 13 electrical wires at Cafe Metz.

I don’t know what you wanted to prove as you didn’t stop us trading. We rise above stupid acts like that. Just to let you know that you could have killed Margaret and Bill! It was just luck that they are still here as both of them were in the box trying to find out what was wrong. Count yourself lucky, it could have been manslaughter with a different outcome.

If you have a problem you should face it head on not the spineless way.

I am absolutely disgusted to think someone of that mentality is in town someone who risked people’s lives to prove WHAT? This happened early hours on Wednesday 9th December. If anyone knows anything please contact the police.

Rubbish Bins Not Wanted

Dear Keer, On 30th September, Scenic Rim Regional Council sent a letter advising residents that domestic waste bins would be issued in this area [Lamington National Park Road], changing established tipping practices.

The proposed system is unfair to residents on acreage, as most are in this part of the region. This is because • there was no consultation with residents • ratepayers have had no opportunity to raise objections • the wheelie bin system of collection is unsuited to rural acreage properties and • the cost of the proposed bins and collection is subtantially above current tipping fees.

The bins are impractical for local residewnts as most properties are rural acreage, from five to 100 acre lots, with the houses some cinsiderable distance form teh road. Residents would be required to drive up to 500 metres to their gates to put the rubbish out for regular collection. Most now simply take the bin liner with them to the transfer station as they go through town on other business.

Additionally, the Council letter does not inform residents that there will be a $210 fee for waste collection. Currently most resident in the area take rubbish to the transfer station for a charge of $98 per year.

When I called the Council on 6th October and 23rd November to clarify the situation and express my concerns and was told categorically by one staff member that there “was no option”.

This is not good enough. Lamington National Park residents are now collecting signatures to call on Council to review its decision to install unrequested kerbside waste collection in this rural area and, as well, to give ratepayers on rural acreage the ability to opt out of formal bin collection and retin current tipping arrangement. I invite concerned ratepayers to call me and join the protest.

Yours sincerely, Graham Hynch. Ph: 0413 327 433 Response from Council: Waste collection is a core function of Council and the organisation’s aim is to provide a garbage collection service to all households in the Scenic Rim where there is viable and reasonable access for waste and recycling trucks.

Ongoing expansion of household waste collection areas is part of the long-term planning of Council is it represents the most efficient and costeffective manner of collecting and disposing of waste and also provides a convenient recycling service.

During 2015 Council has rolled out an additional 450 new kerbside services across the region, including properties outside the Canungra township area, which previously did not receive a service.

AED For Canungra Swimming Pool

A generous donation by Canungra Op Shop has seen an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) installed at Canungra Pool.

Pool Manager, Karen Nixon said she greatly appreciates the donation and wants to let everyone know of the contribution the Op Shop makes.

“Last season they also donated flippers and kick boards to help all the children learn and progress in their swimming lessons,” said Karen.

“We don’t have a defibrillator and a while back we had a customer who was swimming had a stroke even though we handled the situation very well we were all shaken up by the whole experience,” said Karen.

“This defibrillator will be so important to the pool customers if we ever have that situation again,” she said.

The Canungra Times January 2016

As I write this there are just a hand full of days left for 2015 to be behind us.

Hopefully everyone has had an enjoyable and safe Christmas with family and friends, and are not suffering too much for indulging in the Chrissy pudding.

For those of us who worked over the Christmas long weekend I’d like to say a big thanks to the community that incorporates the Canungra Policing Division. While we would all rather be home spending time with our families, it makes the shifts a lot more enjoyable when the people we encounter are happy and wishing the best.

New Year’s Eve is coming up next. Please remember to be responsible when attending celebrations and ensure you can party and then get home safely.

Readers may have seen an increase in the number of Traffic Branch vehicles patrolling the Canungra and Tamborine Mountain areas of late. A number of motorcyclists have also found out, too late, that the vehicle they were overtaking over continuous double lines was an unmarked Police car with camera fitted.

With four of the seven crashes reported in the last month involving motorcycles, and the major cause of these crashes involving speed and rider error, these patrols will continue.

I urge caution to all drivers and riders not to become a statistic, either physically or financially. Crashes can be avoided, and so can fines through the behaviour of all road users.

The number of users of Killarney Glen and Cedar Creek Falls has been on the rise with the warmer weather upon us. In years gone by this has led to opportunistic thieves to strike, breaking into cars and stealing easy to carry items such as mobile phones and money. If you area attending these or any similar location please ensure your vehicle is secure and all valuables are removed, and is you see anyone acting suspiciously around vehicles report it to your local Police.

Please remember, if you see or hear anything that may be illegal or suspicious, no matter how insignificant it may seem, please come and see us or contact the station on one of the below numbers: Canungra Police 55435120, Police Link on 131444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Have a great New Year’s - we will see you in 2016.

The Jope family formerly of Canungra - Left to Right: Mrs Nola Stanton (nee Jope), Fremantle WA, Mr Roy Jope, Gumdale Brisbane, Mr Herb Flesser, Canungra, husband of the late Mrs Joan Flesser (nee Jope), Mrs Coral Tobler, (nee Jope), Labrador and Mr John Jope, Ashmore.

Jope Family Reunion

By Barry Day The Jope family, formerly of Canungra, recently held a family reunion celebrating Nola’s Birthday. Nola was born in the old Canungra Hospital on the 24th November 1942, then located in the Canungra Showground area.

The birthday lunch was held at Canungra’s Outpost Cafe which was initially known as Jope’s Cafe.

The first, smaller section of the cafe was built by the late John James Jope in early 1952 and the building was extended to the existing size in 1953.

The building team was led by John James Jope and included Syd Rhodes, and Roy and John Jope.

When the shop opened, Joan helped her parents to run it and later Nola and Coral helped after school. Jope’s Cafe also included general groceries, fruit and vegetables as well as a Golden Fleece Fuel pump. The whole family was involved in the business, which was well frequented by both locals and the soldiers from the Jungle Training Centre (Kokoda Barracks).

It was certainly a family affair, which only faltered with the passing of Mr John James Jope in 1956. The business was sold in early 1958. John Jope’s wife, Winifred Jope passed away in 1959.

The Canungra Creek restoration project underway at the Canungra Showgrounds has had a productive year in 2015.

The project team comprises the grounds committee, restoration contractors, the Green Army and additional fantastic volunteers that attend working bees.

The works to date include developing a riparian management plan, planting 3000 tubestock, managing two hectares of riparian weeds and assisting natural regeneration of native plants on-site. The project has exceeded the milestone expectations that were developed in the initial stages.

The success of this project is dependant on the ongoing commitment from members of the community to attend working bees and assist in the installation and management of planted tubestock.

Maintenance of the site through supplementary watering and timely weed management is also critical. This project is complimentary to other riparian restoration works on the banks of the Canungra Creek and will continue to improve the amenity of our natural waterway and aim to assist with increased water quality and habitat values.

In addition, these works ensure the Canungra Creek is a valuable natural asset that is loved for its recreational values.

The Canungra Sports and Recreation Grounds Committee wish to extend their thanks for all those involved in the project to date and welcome newcomers to attend 2016 working bees. Watch out for our first activity coming up in late summer!

Tamborine Village Lions Club assists many local families but in the weeks leading up to Christmas one local family was without a Christmas tree, gifts for the children, a vehicle or any money to make Christmas special.

They were looking at a very bleak Christmas day, until a friend found what had happened and contacted Tamborine Village Lions Club.

The Lions provided the family with a cheque for $500 to assist with food, gifts and other essential through the crisis. Other organisations including the Canungra Op Shop and Canungra FoodWorks also helped out with vouchers.

Welcome To 2016

I hope you have all had a restful and enjoyable festive season with your family and friends,feel invigorated and ready to face the challenges of the new year. There is no doubt it will be another eventful one throughout the Scenic Rim with so much positive news before Christmas.

CANUNGRA RSL WEBSITE LAUNCH

It is an amazing website and a tribute to those service personnel and their families.Congratulations to all who were involved in this project.

Freight Terminal For Bromelton

The first of the landowners at Bromelton, SCT Logistics, announced just prior to Christmas that they would be investing $30 million to commence building their intermodal freight precinct. This is a significant capital investment in the Scenic Rim and is assisted by a Federal Government National Stronger Regions grant of which Council was successful in obtaining $9.6 million.

SCT Logistics are the largest privately owned rail company in Australia and operate nationwide, transporting general and refrigerated freight. Bromelton will, in time, become the crossroads of rail freight and logistics for the eastern seaboard and intersect with the Inland Rail Project currently being investigated.

This $30 million project will provide 125 local jobs in the first stage of development with an expectation of up to 1000 jobs on site as the precinct develops. Associated industries will be attracted to co-locate and these will provide further employment within the region. This is something we have all been waiting for for a number of years and was a welcomed Christmas present to the Scenic Rim region. For maps and further information see Council’s website.

Local Government Elections

The Queensland local government elections are to be held on Saturday 19th March and I will be standing for re-election again to represent the residents of Division 3. It has been an honour to represent the community for the last four years as together we have built a solid financial base for the Scenic Rim and the hard work and negotiations of years passed are finally becoming a reality. We certainly do have a very bright future ahead of us in this developing region.

Pool Parties

As part of the Be Healthy and Active Program, Council will host three pool parties: Canungra - 30th January; Beaudesert - 9th January; Boonah - 16th January Free pool entry starts at 4pm with the games and fun followed by the movie Penguins of Madagascar starting at 6.30pm. If the weather is unpredictable, check Council’s Facebook page or website for updates.

AWL Pets of the Month

Nature’s Gems

Migratory Shorebirds of South-east Queensland

By Melissa Whitby

Hi there everybody! My name is Max, and I am a very happy, smoochy boy with lots of love to share. I have lots of energy, am super playful and just love to play with my doggy mates. I would love a home where my family has a little bit of time to reinforce my basic manners and where I can get out for daily walks. I already know sit, down and ‘in your bed’, so I’m ready to keep on learning!

Max is an American Staffy cross Bull Mastiff and is only 19 months old, he is $250 and is vaccinated, wormed and desexed.

Candy is a lovely cat who has previously been around dogs, so should be a good fit to a household with an existing cat friendly dog.

Candy is litter trained and likes her cuddles, but loud noises can be a bit scary to her so she would do best in a quieter household. She loves to cuddle and spend time with her humans.

Candy is $27 and is vaccinated, wormed and desexed.

The AWL also has many kittens looking for their forever homes. The kittens are $200 each and are all vaccinated, wormed and desexed.

To meet Max, Puddy or the other animals, visit the AWL Gold Coast Rehoming Centre:

Shelter Road, Coombabah Ph: 5509 9000 www.awlqld.com.au Happy New Year!

In recent times, I have spent a lot time with a special group of Australian birds, best known as ‘shorebirds’. Over half of Australian shorebirds are ‘migratory’ which means these incredible creatures are visitors from breeding grounds in the northern hemisphere. Studies have shown that some species of shorebirds are capable of flying non-stop for several days, covering thousands and thousands of kilometres. Shorebirds are bird species which I have grown up with all my life when I have been out and about at the beach, fishing in estuaries and visiting other bodies of water in pursuit of other bird species.

However, it was not until I spent some more time working with these birds that I realised many shorebird species in Australia were declining in numbers.

Shorebirds face many threats such as habitat destruction, disturbance and pollution. As these birds fly such long distances, sites are required for the birds to stop, rest and re-fuel to complete their flights. This can be readily seen along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway where traditional stopover sites in the Yellow Sea are being destroyed. However, the future of these incredible creatures is not all doom and gloom as studies have been carried out in Australia on shorebirds for 30 years.

This information is being used to work with other countries along the Flyway such as South Korea to protect vital shorebird habitat. Australia’s resident shorebirds are also in desperate need for their habitat to be protected and to not be subjected to human disturbance. Education is an important toolwhich the Queensland Wader Study Group undertakes to educate the general public about the plight of shorebirds and how be mindful of the presence of these birds which will go along way to ensure their future.

For anyone interested in viewing shorebirds in South-east Queensland, I would recommend visiting Moreton Bay with has suitable habitat such as intertidal mudflats, rocky shorelines and sheltered beaches which provide the birds with feeding and roost sites. The picture, which accompanies this article, captures a variety of shorebirds such as Bar-tailed Godwits, Great Knots and Terek Sandpiper. I hope that this article will encourage readers to take more notice of these incredible birds so that they can long continue to exist beside Migratory Shorebirds us in South-east Queensland.

Well Being

Sticky Lamb Ribs With Crunchy Salad

With Clancy Beck

New Year Success If you’re a New Year’s Resolution casualty and have a track record of bailing on your good intentions after a few weeks or months, then you may need to re-evaluate your motives, and methods.

It’s common to pick a New Year’s Resolution around health that focuses on an action, or non-action. It involves giving something up, or changing your behaviour. It could be to give up chocolate, follow an exercise program, or to eat more healthily. When we think about the specifics of what we’ve chosen they can sound like work, sacrifice, and change - all of which are often lumped in the ‘un-fun’ basket, and are likely to be ditched if we’re feeling vulnerable or tired.

Rather than focus on the specific resolution you’ve chosen, try to find out WHY you chose it. What is the outcome you’re hoping for by doing it? It could be to lose weight or firm up, but there will be a reason behind that too.

Is it to gain confidence? To feel more energetic? To like what you see in the mirror? Ultimately what most people are chasing is to be happy. To feel better. If you can focus on what it will feel like to achieve the outcome, and the increased happiness that it will bring, you’ll be way more likely to stick to your plan.

Is your resolution based on a wish, an idea or a ‘that would be nice’ kind of goal? “I’d like to be a size 10” will never get you through the pitfalls of life out there waiting to test your determination. Your ‘wishes’ and ‘shoulds‘ need to be ‘MUSTS’ to give your New Year Resolution the power to survive and achieve the outcome you are chasing.

To your health and happiness in 2016!

State Comes to Table for Eat Local

Scenic Rim Eat Local Week has received a boost with Council securing continuing support from the State Government through Tourism and Events Queensland.

Mayor John Brent said Council would receive $75,000 over three years under the Queensland Destination Events Program to help stage Eat Local Week in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

“This is fantastic boost for Scenic Rim Eat Local Week,” he said.

Cr Brent said Scenic Rim Eat Local Week had contributed more than $1.2 million to the region’s economy in 2015, attracting crowds in excess of 22,000 to events associated with the nine-day program.

“Eat Local Week has grown from humble beginnings in 2011 to an impressive platform showcasing all the Scenic Rim has to offer,” he said.

“The 2015 program featured a calendar of more than 50 events culminating in the Winter Harvest Festival at Aratula. It has captured a loyal following that sees food and farming as a fundamental part of the character and culture of the Scenic Rim.” Cr Brent said the genesis of Eat Local Week had been the creation of an event which celebrated the region’s primary producers and better connected consumers with the people who grow and produce their food.

“Eat Local Week continues to be a credit to the producers and purveyors of this region’s food and beverages and reflects the relationship Council has with its community,” he said.

“Our producers are supported by a wonderful Scenic Rim hospitality industry which prides itself on buying local and showcasing their cuisine to the more than one million tourists each year.”

Cr Brent said agriculture and tourism contributed more than $400 million to the Scenic Rim economy and Eat Local Week had forged stronger links between the two industries.

Scenic Rim Eat Local Week 2016 will be staged from 25th June to 3rd July.

News from St Luke’s

Suduko

By Di Ayscough

Where did it go? Yes, Christmas has been, the rush of shopping, wrapping presents, cooking and visiting family and friends is over for another year. Will you remember all your gifts and how much you ate, or will you think about Christmas as the start of a new year to celebrate the message of hope, love, peace and joy?

A lovely service was enjoyed by all who attended St Luke’s on Christmas morning. It is always nice to welcome visitors to such a joyful service.

I would like to start the new year with special thanks to Keer for the production of this monthly newspaper. Keer and her team do not stop to have a break but continue to provide us with important information, stories, photographs and all the things we look forward to reading about.

Thank you Keer, and your team. May you always feel valued and appreciated by those who pick up the Canungra Times each month.

I am sure we have little idea of how much work it takes to produce the paper, but it is greatly appreciated.

St Luke’s Christmas Street Stall was a great success despite a drizzly wet morning and the road into town being closed due to an accident.

Thank you to all who purchased our delicious home grown or cooked items and purchased tickets in the raffle. It was great to see all four prizes being won by local people. The next major fund raiser for St Luke’s will be held before Easter, so watch this space for details in the February edition.

May 2016 bring you all the joy of a New Year. I pray for peace on earth, good health, relief from drought and happiness for all.

With many blessings.

Happy New Year!

Solution page 28

This is a ‘classical’ sudoku puzzle - a grid 9 squares wide and 9 squares deep. The lines of squares running horizontally are called rows, and the lines running vertically are called columns. The grid is further divided by the darker lines into nine 3 X 3 square ‘boxes’.

Some of the squares already have numbers in them. Your task is to fill in the blank squares. There’s only one rule: Each row, column and box must end up containing all of the numbers from 1 to 9.

This rule has an important side-effect, which is the basis of all solving techniques: Each number can only appear once in a row, column or box.

Siam Cup Success

By Rebecca Torrens

Another great day was had by all who attended Siam Cup 10 on Saturday 20th December at Canungra Showground.

Although very close to Christmas, people came from near and far to support these kids in their sports. With little fighters as young as six years of age climbing over the ropes to show the crowds what they put their heart and soul into. The smiles on their faces alone were enough to make the promoter Jamie Tozeland believe his efforts are all worth while.

This Siam was the first one to have a four girl eliminator as the main event with local fighter Samantha Torrens stepping up to take on the tough opponents.

Samantha beat her first Melbourne based opponent in a three round war and went on to fight in a second fight for the day in a five round battle.

However stepping into the ring with a broken finger from the first fight left her without the power she needed to bring home the win. Samantha still managed to show determination and prove that her training efforts have paid off.

Other local fighters, Mia, Jacob and Rowena stepped in the ring for some tough fights with more experienced fighters did themselves and their supporters proud.

just six years of age, these girls showed great skill and determination and are sure to go along way with their Muay Thai career.

Just as entertaining on the day was local Cameron who at the last minute stepped up to have a demo match with a fighter who’s opponent had pulled out on him at the last minute. Entering the ring to jingle bells as well as being the only fighter to have a blood nose without even being touched was a real crowd pleaser.

These children may all still be juniors and all under 18 years of age but the ‘kids only’ shows have been a hit around the Muay Thai community, giving the

children the opportunity to move further in their sporting success.

The crowds supported both an auction and raffle which were sold to raise funds for Foster Care Angels, an awesome cause.

Siam Cup would once again like to say a huge thank you to all the businesses that support these shows.

Without you all it just wouldn’t be possible to give these kids their day to shine in front of crowds: Aquis Farm, Bolo Fight Wear, Canungra Hotel, Outpost Cafe, Marsden Trophies, Supreme Sprinklers, Dart Construction and many others.

We look forward to more shows and excitement in 2016.
