Opportunity Knocking Now for Residents to Get Involved

This year will see a change in office bearers for several community organisations in Canungra, creating opportunities for others to become involved.

Canungra Show Society, Moriarty Park Community Sporting Centre and Canungra Owls Soccer Club all have long-term key people leaving their committees and are looking for volunteers to help with the running of their organisations.

Canungra Show Society’s Secretary, Shona Kraayvanger will step back at the AGM after five years as Secretary.

‘Several key players, including myself, will be stepping down from our positions within the Show Society,” said Shona.

“As Canungra Show has been a highlight on the local calendar for 75 years, it would be great to have some ‘new blood’ step in,” she said.

“I will continue to assist where possible on the day of each event, and certainly assist anyone who may like to take on any roles.”

“It is a great way to get to know the locals and pick up new skills along the way,” she said.

Shona said the Show Society is looking for assistance with the following positions: Secretary, Sponsorship, Website, Traders, Entertainment.

Help on event days is also appreciated, even two hours of gatekeeping, bar operators, help in the pavillions makes everyone’s jobs easier.

Moriarty Park President Steve Moriarty will also retire from his position at the AGM in April after six years in the role.

Steve has been active in continuing the

President of Moriarty Park, Steve Moriarty and Secretary of Canungra Show Society, Shona Kraayvanger, are retiring from their roles

Sportsperson awards and would like to see someone continue with this role separately to the President’s position.

“It has been an honour to serve the local community as President of Moriarty Park and Coordinator of the Foodworks Sportsperson of the Year awards. I have found these roles rewarding and would like to thank the Moriarty Park committee members and the broader community, for their support. I encourage anyone who may be interested in taking on either of these roles to contact me.”

The Awards are sponsored by Canungra FoodWorks who are happy to continue their support.

Volunteers also mow Moriarty Park on a roster basis which only takes a few hours every roster rotation (at present every six weeks). Equipment and training are supplied.

Canungra Owls Soccer Club has

replaced their Treasurer, David Baker, who was in the role for four years. The Club would like assistance with jobs that are vital to its running such as coaching, organising team photos and helping in the canteen on training and game days.

Club President Bren Dalby said David was a great asset to the Club.

“In no time flat he was Treasurer, Secretary, Registrar and sensational committee member. He organised kit bags, balls, me and was always there early Saturday mornings to set up small sided goals and playing areas. He also coached!”

“Without David, I would be a basket case and the Club will miss him terribly.

He is just a smashing fella!” she said.

To find out more about volunteer positions in our community, contact Shona on 0414 676 787, Steve on 0407 130 092 or Bren on 0414 435 919.

SCENIC RIM AUSTRALIA Citizen of the Year: Bren Dalby (Canungra)

Regarded as a “driving force” in the Canungra community, Bren and her husband George donate their time to helping maintain and mow the facilities at Moriarty Park. She is an active member of the Canungra Owls Soccer Club, serving as President for five years, and the Moriarty Park Sporting Association, serving as vice president for seven years.

She has volunteered a significant amount of time to fundraising for the soccer club to support player development and build the strength of the club. This has included running the canteen on practice nights and during competition. She is also a wildlife carer, manning the contact line and looking after sick and injured animals.

Bren said when she received the letter to say she had been nominated for an award she thought there must be some mistake!

“Then, after re-reading the letter, I felt sensationally flattered...but never in my wildest imagination did I think there was any chance I might be ultimately honoured with this title!” she said.

“I guess I do a bit around the place but only as I feel very lucky to live in such a tremendous community where everyone looks out for everyone else and pulls together when needed.....that’s a pretty special place to live in in this day and age.”

“After my horrible accident nearly five years ago now, when I couldn’t work in my profession any more, I was faced with the sudden realisation that I had over night gone from crazy busy money making super useful person to a completely useless waste of space, in my opinion, and it very nearly destroyed me. A terrific family, friend and community support system (and a few couch sessions) held me together long enough to make the decision to fill my days doing things that would be useful around the area and keeping my sanity ....”

“And here you have it! Must be doing something right and am keen to do more of it now to justify my new title! I get mail to Lady Dalby of Dunneimed now! Let’s keep this wonderful community we have ,exactly that!”

Bren is one of those wonderful people who never says ‘no’if she can help with something, she will.

community. The potential benefits for the town are enormous.”

A community organisation information night will be held on Friday 28th March to provide information about banking products and services and what the Community Bank can offer local sporting clubs and other not for profit groups.

Thermometers showing the pledge total will be displayed in businesses around town and there is also a Canungra Community Bank Facebook page.

BROWN FAMILY FUNERALS “Our Family Caring For Yours” LO C A L LY OW N E D FA M I LY C O M PA N Y

Available 24 hours Ph: 5541 0062

New equipment has been unpacked and the staff are ready - now Beaudesert Hospital’s reinstated maternity service just needs its first baby!

The hospital will start delivering babies from March 2014, meaning local women with low-risk pregnancies can opt to give birth closer to their home, family and friends.

Women can access pre and postnatal care at Beaudesert Hospital with a referral from their GP to the Beaudesert Midwifery Group Practice.

‘Group practice’ means pregnant women are cared for by the same midwife, supported by a small group of assisting midwives, throughout their pregnancy, following the birth, and into the early weeks at home with their new baby.

Health Minister, Lawrence Springborg, said the return of birthing services to the hospital was a huge win for the local community, many of whom had been fighting for the service for years.

“The return of birthing services at Beaudesert Hospital means local women with low risk pregnancies can now choose to birth in their own community, close to their home, family and friends,” the Minister said.

“Importantly, for many women, it will remove the stress and angst associated with needlessly travelling vast distances to other hospitals.”

Mr Springborg said the early delivery of birthing to Beaudesert could not have been achieved without the commitment and determination of Beaudesert staff and members of the Advisory Committee.

“Much work behind the scenes has taken place since I made the announcement to return birthing services to Beaudesert in June 2012 and I thank those people who have been instrumental in getting the service off the ground for their commitment,” he said.

“The delivery of the service, well ahead of schedule, is demonstrative of our commitment to putting patients first and reintroducing vital health services into rural and regional communities like Beaudesert.”

“The recruitment of new rural generalists with obstetric and anaesthetic skills has been fundamental to ensuring the return of birthing services. These specialist doctors are among nine rural generalists who will all be in place at Beaudesert Hospital before March 2014.”

Jason Spurgin, in conjunction with the old Canungra Milo Cricket Club, will be turning pink on 22nd February with the McGrath Foundation’s Pink Stumps Day. Co-Founder and President of the McGrath Foundation, Glenn McGrath, thanked the cricketing community for their support.

“At the McGrath Foundation, having the support of the community is so important to us. Each and every day we see people doing amazing things to help us achieve our vision of a breast care nurse for every family experiencing breast cancer in Australia,” Glenn said.

Jason is inviting old Milo Cricket members, friends, family and the local community to join him for Pink Stumps Day on Saturday 22nd February with lots of fun ways for people to get involved such as Milo cricket games in age groups, world cup catching competition in age groups and many more. The day will be held in conjunction with the Canungra Owls Soccer Club Try Out and Family Fun Day. Proceeds from the day will help the McGrath Foundation see their vision become a reality, ensuring every family experiencing breast cancer has access to a breast care nurse, no matter where they live or their financial situation.

To donate to Jason’s Pink Stumps Day, visit http://pinkstumpsday2014.gofundraise.com.au/page/Canungramilocricketclubgoingpink or come to Moriarty Park from 9am until 12 noon on Saturday 22nd February. Wear pink, bring some cash to donate to the McGrath Foundation and be ready to have fun!

On Thursday 16th January, Canungra was forced into lockdown when Malcolm Ross William Jobson, 37 from Bundaberg area, rang police at 5.15am, stating he had a bomb in his car.

Mr Jobson’s car was parked on Kidston Street near DJ Smith Park. Police immediately cordoned off roads into and out of the town, with residents advised to stay in their homes. Most of the town’s businesses were forced to close.

Police negotiators were called in but at first Mr Jobson refused to speak to them. At 11am he exited the vehicle and began smashing it with a wooden pole.

He gave himself up to police at 3.15pm.

Investigations of the vehicle did not find any explosives.

Mr Jobson appeared in Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Friday 17th January and was released on bail. The court was told trauma over a family matter triggered the event. Mr Jobson had also had the plates taken off his vehicle the afternoon before because the car was not registered.

He is due to appear in court again on 10th February.

Tamborine Village Lions Club Markets Return New Ambulance On The Road

By Rayna Bond

On Friday 13th December Tamborine Village Lions held its Twilight and Christmas markets and Carols Night. Santa visited with gifts for the kids and Satin Sounds, their students and Canungra Choir performed for the crowd.

This event helped Tamborine Lions raise over $2,500 to help the local community. Without the support of all those who attended and the continuing support of stallholders, the Lions would not be able to provide the support in the area when it is needed.

The Christmas ham raffle winner was Trish Winton-Knuckey, one of the stall holders. Congratulations to Trish!

The winners of the Christmas Raffle are: • 1st Prize - Mitsubishi Fridge Freezer was John Chalmers.

• 2nd Prize Tefal Fry pan Rhonda O’Neill.

• 3rd prize Christmas Hamper was Kathleen (no surname provided).

The raffle raised over $1200. Thank

you to all who supported the raffle and congratulations to the winners!

The money raised will go back into community projects and local families.

Tamborine Village markets return on Sunday 2nd February at 7am. All the stallholders you know and love will be returning along with some new faces.

One of the stallholders, Betty, is having a huge display of all stock on clearance for $2 with all money raised going back to Farm Appeal.

Betty works tirelessly sending packages out to deserving families every week with the money raised from her stall. Please come along to help Betty to support our farmers.

The markets are held the first Sunday of every month 7am-12pm at Tamborine Village Hall.

Stalls are only $10 each. If you would like any information on being a stallholder or busker please call 0487 770 114 or email tamborinevillagelions@live.com.

An ambulance vehicle worth more than $215,000 was officially handed over to the Canungra ambulance station on 29th January.

Minister for Health Lawrence Springborg said the Mercedes Sprinter 319 Van would allow the Canungra ambulance station to more effectively meet the demands of the local community.

“Ambulance personnel and fleet at Canungra travel many thousands of kilometres every year in response to medical emergencies,” Mr Springborg said.

Member for Beaudesert Jon Krause said the new vehicle would make ambulance response and transport safer and more comfortable for both patients and paramedics in Canungra and surrounding areas.

“The vehicle is fitted with the latest technology for the operation of both the vehicle and patient care features,” Mr Krause said.

“It is a significant investment in the community’s safety and demonstrates our commitment to ensuring the Queensland Ambulance Service remains one of the top performing emergency service organisations in the country.

“It takes a unique person to commit themselves to a profession entirely focused on helping others and this vehicle will support personnel to provide the best possible prehospital medical care.”

Over the past few months with numerous episodes of thunder, a number of dogs have been frightened and run away but those with a tag and phone number were very easily and quickly reunited with their owners. Tags can be purchased either online or from your local veterinary clinic.

Fitt for Life

From My Window with Keer Moriarty, Editor

Inspiration from my past I met up with an old school friend this month.

It was almost 30 years since I last saw her, although she and I have been friends on FaceBook several years.

I must admit, she was someone I was a little in awe of in high school - pretty, nice, well liked by everyone. Today, in essence she is no different now to how she was then, but her journey has been very difficult with both personal and medical issues creating roadblocks in her life.

How humbling it was to hear what she has overcome and what a positive attitude she has.

The experiences she had would make some people bitter and angry, instead she is at peace with herself - a gentle, compassionate human being with a genuine interest in other people’s well being, and an inner strength that I can only hope I will achieve one day.

I look up to people who have had to overcome real adversity in their lives. I do not always understand where their strength comes from, but it shows that the human spirit is an amazing thing. Our capacity to continue to fight, to love and to show real compassion for other people is a gift.

Thank you, Nat. It is a privilege to know you.

Canungra Pool

Dear Editor, It seems like a contradiction that someone who swims as badly as I do should be flying the flag for a swimming pool, but that’s what I’m here to do.

Here’s a question – for all Canungrians (is that what we call the residents of Canungra?). Do you know Canungra Swimming Pool? Have you been there?

Do you know where it is?

Surely it’s the town’s best kept secret.

Which is a pity because it should probably be up there in gold leaf and cannon fire as the town’s most valuable asset.

I didn’t learn to swim until I was 45 – two weeks after I got to Australia from freezing England, where you can only swim for as long as you can keep the ice from forming on your legs and arms.

And even then I swam badly. Then, three months ago, I decided to get better at it.

I went to Canungra Pool. It was empty.

It’s been empty, or nearly so, every time I’ve been. I just had my 70th birthday there with my family. Barbecues, grass, shade, clean and well kept showers, toilets and changing rooms. Why isn’t

it packed! (I’m glad it’s not packed). It doesn’t look like this by accident, of course. It’s run by Karen, aided by Jess and Paul and, I’m sure, others whose names I don’t know. Not only are they a credit to the pool, but they’re also a credit to Canungra, Queensland, Australia, and humanity in general. They have humour, patience and understanding; they try to make everyone’s visit a good one (they succeed!). They work hard and they keep the place spotless. When the rules are in danger of being broken, they’re on the spot with a gentle reminder. They lead, guide, with wisdom and patience. A far cry from memories of my childhood (Oi, you! Stop running or I’ll throw you out, ya ratbag!). Jess taught me to swim better (poor Jess), and her patience was superhuman. Her smile never left her. I had to swim better with Jess around; I couldn’t have handled the guilt if my swimming had wiped the smile from her face! Then there’s Elliot who, among other things, introduces toddlers and babies to swimming. Elliot built houses until an injury stopped him. You could say he used to help people build their dreams – and now he helps protect them from their

The Canungra Times, February 2014

worst nightmares. Three months later I consider these people my friends. Not only them, either; other swimmers have become friends: Steve, who tempers Jess’s positive reinforcement with a dose of gentle reality (Hmmmm… that could have been better…); and Shirley, who doesn’t let me get away with anything (Legs, Colin! Do you even have any legs! They weren’t doing anything!).

Why am I telling you all this? Because 2014 is getting under way, and if you live here, and you don’t use the pool, you’re not just missing a great spot, a relaxed atmosphere and a clean environment, you’re missing some of the nicest people from Canungra to Canungra – by way of a round-the-world trip.

All credit to the old Beaudesert Shire Council who built the pool, but it’s as good as it is because of the people who run it and use it.

I’ve lived in this neck of the woods now for nearly 17 years. I’m embarrassed that it took me 16 and a half of them to find Canungra Pool.

Through you, editor: thanks guys.

You’re the best.

Bullying in the Workplace Recent Developments

What Clothing Can I Donate to the Op Shop?

By Suzanne Roberts, Practice Director, Informed Conveyancing Lawyers

On 1st January 2014 significant amendments to the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) came into operation to address workplace bullying. The aim of the legislation is to introduce a proactive, early intervention procedure to deal with workplace bullying.

The new complaint process will allow workers to lodge a complaint with the Fair Work Commission and provides for the Commission to start the resolution process within 14 days. The process is aimed at achieving quick results, with the Commission having powers to make any order it considers appropriate aimed at stopping the bullying. The focus is on stopping bullying, resolving matters and enabling normal workplace relationships to resume.

While the process does not allow the Commission to award compensation or to reinstate employees, the risk for employer/s lies where orders have been made by the Commission and the bullying continues. The worker can then take action in the courts to sue for compensation. The onus is on the employer to have a workplace complaints strategy in place and to show the employer is not only pro-active but that it acts promptly and efficiently to deal with workplace complaints.

Employers will need to review their workplace policies to ensure they are able to meet their obligations and to avoid the risk of adverse litigation outcomes where there is a failure to maintain a proper workplace policy for bullying.

For those who are involved in sorting donated clothes, it can be a very laborious task, especially when many donations are not usable.

As much as the Op Shop relies on donations from our community, there are a few myths about what they can use or do with donations: I’ll give them everything I don’t need and they’ll know what to do with it.

Op Shop staff are experienced in dealing with items people don’t need, but they cannot turn stained, worn out, old, torn or damaged clothing into a garment that someone else wants to buy.

They can wash it…

Occasionally, when the Op Shop receives an item that is nearly new and has a small stain on it staff will wash it. But it isn’t possible to wash everything without it increasing costs and needing more volunteers and unlimited water supply to do so. Imagine washing a trailer full of clothing every month! Enough said.

They might be able to fix it…

If it’s a garment that has little value, they will more than likely be forced to throw it out. If it’s an electrical item that is broken, it has to be thrown out. Cracked dishes and cups, stained plastic, broken jewellery, damaged books and furniture….if you don’t want it because of the condition its in, probably no one else will either.

Not Really Recyclers So the Op Shop is not really a

Canungra Op Shop is staffed by volunteers

place for recycling as such, but rather for conserving clothing and household items that are still in good condition.

By taking an extra 10 minutes to separate the good items from the unusable ones when you clean out, you are contributing to your local charity organisation, helping them to do their best, and benefitting their charitable projects at the same time.

Canungra Op Shop donates half their profits to local community organisations and the remainder to other charities within Australia and overseas.

They are located in Lawton Lane, Canungra and you can also ‘Like’ them on Facebook!

Tracey’s Time is NOW

Tracey Davis will launch her new CD at the Canungra Hotel on Saturday 22nd February

Local bass guitarist and vocalist, Tracey Davis will launch her first solo album, Now, at the Canungra Hotel on Saturday 22nd February.

Tracey said Now is very different to her previous release, It’s Hot, which was written and produced in partnership with the Bushfire Band in 2008.

“It’s Hot was more bluegrass where NOW has everything - country, bluegrass, country-rock, country-pop and country blues,” she said.

As a solo artist, Tracey enjoyed being involved in the production of her NOW album with friend, co-writer and co-producer Chris Hartley from Rock The House Production Toowoomba who played a big part in the new sound of Tracey Davis.

“It was a bit daunting, coming to the front,” she said. “I wanted this album to sound live so when I perform on stage it sounds like me and isn’t over produced.”

The first single from Now, Lover Come Back to Me, written by Chris Hartley, made the top 24 in the Mildura Top 100 Charts, the second single, The Silence of Missing You written by Tracey and Chris Hartley made it into the the top 30. The third single, Fire Still Burns in Me written by Chris Hartley made the Top 30 of the Hot FM charts. Tracey is very excited to have just released her fourth single You’re The Secret written by herself and Chris Hartley.

Tracey has been involved in the music industry all her life and said it is easier now for an independent artist to share

their music than it has ever been.

“I love living in Canungra,” she said, “The last CD launch was fantastic, about 200 people came along and it would be great to have everyone there again for my Now launch with my new hot Band Dusty Rhodes with myself on bass, Chris Hartley on Hammond and piano,Reg Grant on guitar and Brenden Schick on drums.”

The CD launch is in the Hotel’s restaurant starting at 6.30pm with a meet and greet with Tracey and guest Bluegrass band Owl Valley. For bookings contact the Canungra Hotel on 5543 5233.

Now is available on Tracey’s web site www.traceydavis.com.au. Her first single, Lover Come Back to Me is also available on iTunes and Youtube.

AWL Pets of the Month

Nature’s Gems

Agile Wallaby (Macropus Agilis)

By Melissa Whitby Australia is home to an astounding array of native mammals.

These mammals have evolved to take many unique forms.

One group that is well known to many Australians, are the kangaroos and wallabies. In South-east Queensland, there are several macropod species. Perhaps one of the most unique is the Agile Wallaby.

This medium-sized wallaby has yellowish-brown fur, black inner ear stripes and a pale face. It has a restricted range in South-east Queensland, which includes some coastal areas between the Gold Coast and Brisbane and offshore islands such as North/South Stradbroke. In northern Queensland, this wallaby can be observed along the coast from Rockhampton to Cape York. The northern range of this wallaby also extends in the Northern Territory and Western Australia.

This wallaby species usually come out to feed late in the afternoon in groups and rests during the day under suitable shade provided by vegetation. The Agile Wallaby will eat a wide variety of plant types. Male Agile Wallabies are significantly larger in size to the females. This species can breed all year round. The Agile Wallaby is a common species in northern

Page 22

Australia. However, the southern population has a restricted range within one of the fastest growing human populations in Queensland.

Possibly the best way to glimpse this unique wallaby in South-east Queensland is to travel to North or South Stradbroke Island. In some circumstances, the Agile Wallaby will utilise areas frequented by people and may be approached to be observed from a safe distance.

It is my hope that the Agile Wallaby continues to inhabit its most southern Queensland distribution for many years to come.

Are you looking for the purrfect, handsome boy?

Then Gavin is your man!

This fellow was surrendered by his owners because they couldn’t care for him anymore, and he’s looking for a kind home. He loves to spend time snoozing with his humans, and gets on well with other cats. His previous owners said he got on well with the family dog and he was fine with children over 5 years of age. He has beautiful fur and needs regular grooming to keep him looking gorgeous. Gavin is $99 and is vaccinated, desexed and microchipped.

Bowie is a two and a half year old loving greyhound, typical of his gentle breed. After being rescued off the race track, he is looking for a relaxing, fun home where he can spend time with his new family and learn how great life can be as a companion animal! He is toilet trained, loves to chase a ball and will only require a once daily walk to keep him happy. Bowie is $240 and is vaccinated, desexed and microchipped.

Nominations Open For Queensland Reconciliation Awards

Queenslanders who have been advocates for reconciliation have the opportunity to be recognised for their endeavours, with nominations for the 2014 Queensland Reconciliation Awards now open.

Member for Beaudesert Jon Krause has urged locals to consider making a nomination.

“There are many businesses, community organisations, educational institutions and partnerships that respect and recognise reconciliation in our electorate,” Mr Krause said.

“They could be building cross-cultural understanding through employment or training initiatives, education, partnerships or engaging their local community.

“There are many deserving of recognition and I encourage you to nominate.

“Over the last 11 years, we have recognised more than 150 outstanding initiatives demonstrating reconciliation in action.

“Some of these projects are not only making a significant impact in our local community, but stimulating change across Queensland and Australia.”

A total of $25,000 in prize money is available across the five award categories of Business, Community, Education, Partnership and the Premier’s Reconciliation Award.

Nominations close Monday 3rd March 2014.

For more information or to download the guidelines and nomination form, visit www.reconciliation.qld.gov.au or telephone (07) 3003 9200.

Residents Invited To Engage In Road Safety

Community groups, schools and local councils in the Beaudesert Electorate will have a second chance to make local roads safer with the next round of the Community Road Safety Grants now open.

Member for Beaudesert Jon Krause called on locals to find innovative ways to tackle Queensland’s road toll with $1.2 million in funding up for grabs.

“I’m encouraging our local schools, council and non-profit groups to apply for these grants with up to $25,000 in funding available over the coming five weeks for initiatives to make our roads safer in the Beaudesert Electorate.

“We should all join the Drive to Save Lives, and there is no better way to deliver local road safety projects than from the local community.”

“I want to see our community submit some local ideas, adapted to local conditions, to really target road safety issues that impact our area.”

The first round of the grants program last year received 76 applications – 41 were successful in sharing $815,000 of grant funding.

Applications for funding close on Monday, 10th March and more information is available at www.tmr.qld.gov.au/ roadsafetygrants.

Ommitted due to school holidays!

Another school year has begun and Canungra State School Green Team would like to welcome new families and students to the School community. Our article this month will outline the projects that our environmental team promote at school to help to make CSS a cleaner, greener school!

Canungra State School is situated on the banks of the Canungra Creek, which is within the Wangerriburra country, traditional custodians of the land. The Green Team celebrates cultural diversity and at the start of each school year we are lucky to have local Wangerriburra representative, Ken Markwell provide a ‘welcome to country’ at parade, incorporating cultural awareness and protocol within the school and local community.

The Canungra State School Green Team recognise the importance in preserving and enhancing the natural environment, and strive to incorporate sustainable initiatives throughout the school community. The School Environmental Management Plan (SEMP) was developed by the Green Team in 2010 to outline baseline data and set benchmarks for energy consumption and waste output.

The SEMP has provided a clear Environmental Strategy that incorporates the following Green Team projects: • Canungra Creek Restoration Project.

• Wangerriburra Cultural Trail and Bushtucker Garden.

• Canungra State School Food Garden and Cooking Club Projects.

• Canungra State School Worm Farm.

The Canungra State School Green Team place a strong emphasis on cultivating environmental projects throughout the school. Working collaboratively with staff, students and parents, the Green Team continue to develop a solid skills and knowledge base. Our world is developing and changing at a rapid pace and the kids of today are the leaders of tomorrow. Green Team projects are providing a solid platform for students to create long-lasting learning opportunities in the field of Environmental Sustainability.

The first Green Team meeting is on 12th February at 1.45pm at the School hall. Keep an eye out for updates in the school newsletter for working bees and events that the whole family can attend, or feel free to contact us via email on greenteamcss@gmail.com.

With Uranus in your midst, as it will be for some time yet, life is bound to have a slightly unsettling undercurrent.

Uranus, aside from being associated with electricity, is associated with freedom. His job is to open your cage. That cage is made of ingrained habits. Let them go.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)

Venus goes direct. She has been turned in on herself, having the effect of making you more introspective than usual. Now that she has gone direct, your love becomes more sunny, expressive and outwardly directed. There’s no sense in second-guessing your love. Put it out there.

12 13

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)

15

For most of the month, Mercury is retrograde and effectively becalmed in the quietude of Pisces. This period puts you in a quandary. When you go to say what you think, you may well experience a lack of words, where there is usually dictionaries full. It will change. Take your time.

When everyone is throwing around ideas like thunderbolts, you are bewildered. Being in your head is not a comfortable experience. It’s when life encourages the gentle flow of feelings in your heart, that it makes more sense. Bide your time. Wait without enacting habitual defences.

With the Sun in Aquarius, Leo’s are being forced to consider life from the very opposite perspective to the one they normally take. Aquarius is a collective sign, focussed on community. Leo is the sign of individualism. Be a little less individualistic. Your wholeness is needed.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)

Mercury is moving backwards and forwards into Pisces.

Pisces is an awkward experience. It is the very opposite of the kind structure and order that you represent. It is vast, nebulous and formless - incomprehensibly mysterious. Life is leading you there slowly and gently.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)

Mars keeps steeling you, when you think you are going to cave in. Libra is known as the iron fist in the velvet glove with good reason. Somehow you usually charm your way into having everyone, including yourself, believe that you are less directed than you are. It’s out now.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)

With the Sun in Aquarius, life gets temporarily unfathomable. Though you make brave noises about change, when change really does make an appearance, you are as surprised as anyone to see your overwhelming tendency to retreat underground. Don’t back away from opportunity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Jupiter is retrograde. Your normal mode of endless expansion has gotten a little unpredictable. Mind you, the direction life has been taking you has been very unusual.

Unfamiliar attachments and strange sentimentalities are surfacing. This confusion is a preparation for fresh clarity

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Venus is with you as you go to ground. This bodes well for love and intimacy. She shifts from retrograde to direct too, suggesting that love is less likely to be a mere fantasy. To get reality into gear, you will have to of course express your love, rather than your love of independence.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Sun is in Aquarius fuelling your fire. With Uranus in Aries, life is making you a high-octane mix of ideas, ideals, passions and heart-felt vision. Your fuse is likely to be short.

Don’t let that undermine your cause. Direct your fire. Dance it off if you‘ve got too much. Keep it light.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

A paddymelon grazing at Green Mountains Camping Ground.

The Aquarian Sun is igniting others but not you. You see it as all fluff and froth – ideas with no real connection to feeling.

As others go up into the stratosphere, you don’t. The worldlywise fish knows that they will be down again. A herd of rebels is still a herd. Stay true to yourself. © M.J.Dean 2013

TCT’s Movie Review

Well Being

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

SMART Goals

Director: Ben Stiller.

Stars: Ben Stiller, Kristen Wiig, Jon Daly, Sean Penn.

Rated: PG-13. Run Time: 114 minutes.

With Clancy Beck

If you set health or fitness resolutions in January, and realize it’s February already and you’ve still not started, or you started but have given up already, then try following the S.M.A.R.T formula to get you back on track: S = Specific. Instead of vague goals like ‘tone up’, ‘get fitter’, ‘eat healthier’ or ‘lose weight’ - get specific. Which body parts need toning, how fit is ‘fitter’, how far do you want to run, how does your diet need to change, or how much weight do you want to lose? Without something precise to aim at, your efforts will be half-hearted.

M = Measurable. You may want to run a certain distance, improve your time, lose a certain number of kilos, or reduce your size in cms, or drop a dress size. Measuring helps you monitor your progress.

A = Achievable. If you can’t realistically exercise six times a week, don’t try. If you set idealistic goals rather than realistic ones you’ll set yourself up for failure, and nothing is worse for the morale than not living up to your expectations. Two times a week is still better than none, and can be increased once you get into a routine.

R = Relevant. Choose something that’s important to you and will get you closer to where you want to be. Don’t pick something that your friend or partner is doing, or you think you should be doing - your heart won’t be in it and you’ll struggle to achieve the result.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty was just what the doctor ordered.

On a sweltering day of over 40 degrees, this film delivered not only the air conditioned comfort of the cinema, but also a few good laughs and an enchanting plot loosely based on James Thurber’s short story of the same name.

I’m not a big Ben Stiller fan but I enjoyed him in this film. He plays the central character, Walter Mitty, who is a Negative Assets Manager for Life Magazine at a time when the magazine is making the transition to going online, forcing huge redundancies within the company.

Walter has a habit of ‘zoning out’ day dreaming about events that he feels he are well out of his reach in his average, monotonous life.

One of the side plots of the film is Walter’s telephone interactions with Todd Maher (Patton Oswalt)

from E-Harmony, the online dating service Walter uses to try to get closer to Cheryl (Kristen Wiig), a co-worker he has a crush on but is too timid to ask out.

The interraction between Todd and Walter draws the viewer in and will give anyone who has had to deal with call centres a laugh.

Kristen Wiig is likeable as Cheryl and Shirley Maclaine has a brief but pivotal role as Walter’s mother.

It is a film that the 40+ market will enjoy. I’m not sure how younger movie goers would receive it, and there are some 80’s references that younger viewers might not pick up.

If you are looking for some light entertainment and to step into your own little fantasy land, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is good escapism with a few good laughs thrown in.

T = Timed. Goals need to have a timeframe for their completion or you will lack the drive to get started. Setting a date to have the goal achieved by will add motivation to take action, and keep you moving.

Lastly, decide on a strategy to make it happen!

“What keeps me going is goals.” ― Muhammad Ali

Residents Challenged to Shape Up

Independent primary healthcare organisation, Gold Coast Medicare Local, has challenged residents to shape up in light of a report released recently, which estimated almost two-thirds of adults are overweight or obese.

Figures released by the National Health Performance Authority, estimated that 64% of Gold Coast adults are overweight with 26% of these being obese, and nationally the number of adults who are overweight has risen from 44% in 1989, to 63% in 2011-12.

CEO Matt Carrodus said Gold Coast Medicare Local is partnering with local organisations and the National Heart Foundation to establish up to 40 new community based walking groups.

“Gold Coast Medicare Local is

St Luke’s Anglican Church

By Di Ayscough, Guild President St Luke’s Guild AGM was held on Friday 31st January and was enthusiastically attended by most members of the congregation. Everyone enjoyed a tasty BBQ and scrumptious desserts before the meeting began.

The newly elected committee saw Di Ayscough re-elected as President, Anne King re-elected as Secretary and Sonya Gubbins elected as the new Treasurer. Our thanks go to John Dunstone for his contribution to the guild over a number of years as he steps down from the position of Treasurer.

A healthy bank account and a willingness by all members to be involved with fundraising throughout the coming year, allows the Guild to plan the ongoing maintenance program for the St Luke’s building as it remains an important part of the community. St Luke’s is to be listed on the Local Heritage Register of the Scenic Rim Regional Council, because among other things, it is “a place of importance in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of the local area’s history”.

The fund raising ideas for the coming year include the regular street stalls held outside T Bone Butchery as well as a car boot sale within the church grounds.

A new sign has been installed outside the church and this will be updated to keep everyone informed of forthcoming activities.

As schools resume, I encourage drivers to take care on the roads, especially near schools and child care facilities.

If life seems to be lonely or a burden, please do not hesitate to come and talk to the friendly community at St Luke’s. Wednesday mornings from 9.00am and Sunday morning 7.45am.

You will always be made to feel welcome.

Canungra Owls Soccer News

By Bren Dalby

Well here we go with another hopefully even better and bigger year of soccer! Sign on is available at myfootballclub.com.au and there is a second sign on day at Moriarty Park on Sunday 16th February from 8.00 to 10.30 for new players, or those who need help with sign on. Any queries to Sam Wilson 0419 718 085.

Please register interest rather than waiting to see if there is a team for you as we need to see what numbers we have to formulate teams!

Squirts (3-5 years) is an option if we get enough interest - and a coach! So let us know if any littlies want to get started!

We are having a try out and fun day on 22nd February so watch out for information on the noticeboard outside Foodworks.

Could all key box key holders please return keys to me except those who are continuing on with coaching or canteen positions next year.

We are seeking people for coaching positions and help with small positions (vital but not too taxing) eg organising photos; whipper snipping around seats ; painting goal posts; helping with raffles.

Training shirts are again being sponsored

by FoodWorks but must be ordered by 16th February.

Any queries about soccer to me on 0414 435 919 or email bren.dalby@bigpond.com.

Go the Owls!
