Can You Help Save The Canungra RSL?

The Canungra RSL Services Club has called a Special General Meeting to discuss the future of the Club and is appealing for members of the public to assist with donations to keep the Club open.

Over the past five years the Club has been unable to make a profit and now faces closure if funds can not be found.

In an email to members, the Club’s Honorary Secretary, Geoff Needham, said the losses have eaten away into the Club’s reserves and an unexpected loss of $36,000 in the 2011 year was a blow that the Club has never recovered from.

Although the losses have been greatly reduced in the last two years, the Club requires financial assistance to meet its obligations.

Club President, Keith Cogzell, said “The RSL Services Club’s indebtedness is only in the order of $25,000. A cash injection of $15,000 would take most of the pressure off. The management committee is working hard over the next two weeks to try to raise funds from organisations and individuals wanting

Canungra RSL Services Club is facing an uncertain future.

to help secure the Club’s future.”

“A fundraising request was launched to find 30 members willing to donate $500 each and resulted in five donations totalling $2,500 after just two days.

Hopefully there will be other people in the local community who have had an association with the RSL Services Club over the years and are willing to help the cause as well. We also need the community to support the Club more too,” he said.

Canungra is known throughout Australia for its association with the

Defence force through the establishment of Kokoda Barracks, where many soldiers trained before going to fight in the second World War. Anyone willing to help or wanting more information, can contact the President, Keith Cogzell, on 0418 887 762.

The Special General Meeting will be held on Sunday 10th November at 9am in the Services Club.

If there is no other alternative the committee will table a motion for the Club to close down.

Community Invited to Open New Fire Station

The Canungra Rural Fire Brigade is inviting the Canungra community to the opening of their new Fire Station on Beaudesert-Nerang Road, near the eastern entrance to town.

The project to begin the new Canungra Fire Station began in 1992. The brigade was allocated land by the then Department of Emergency Services to construct a new Fire Station because at that time the brigade`s vehicles and equipment were spread around brigade members’ properties.

Fundraising began to construct a new station, and during this time the Canungra Auxiliary Fire Brigade relocated to its current location when Beaudesert Shire Council offered the brigade their old shed. This proved to be a welcome but undersized

Canungra residents are invited to the opening of the new fire station

importantly it has been the tireless work done this year

by First Officer Stephen Geiger and Second Officer Damon Rockliff that has seen the project go from the planning stage through to near completion.

The official opening is on Saturday 16th November at 11am. Following the opening

there will be an opportunity for members of the public to inspect the new station and find out more about their local rural fire brigade.

home for the brigade and one of its vehicles while two others and slip-on units were still kept at brigade members’ properties.

Fundraising continued and the Fire Levy helped the brigade with operating costs allowing more funds to be saved for the new station.

Finally this year the brigade achieved its basic construction funding target, despite not receiving any Fire Levy in the 2012~13 financial year, and began the process of constructing the station.

All of this would not have been possible without the efforts of the dedicated volunteer brigade members and their families and most of all the Canungra community. Many individuals and companies have helped with the construction, from the site works to the slab through to the electrical work and plumbing, but most

At the beginning of August Tamborine Village Lions Club was approached by Sue Snowdon requesting some help with the purchase of a sleep alarm for her daughter, Holly.

Holly, who is 15 years old, has Cerebral Palsy. Part of the challenges she faces is sleep patterns.

Mrs Snowdon has hired the sleep alarm from Brisbane on numerous occasions however there are so few available that the hire only lasts for approximately three weeks, a cost is involved, and at the end of the three weeks the alarm must be returned to Brisbane and the hirer’s name put back on the bottom of the list.

Having the alarm permanently in the house allows Holly and the entire family the security of knowing it is

there ready to use at any time. Mrs Snowdon provided information on the alarm and the cost involved which was $1,683. Tamborine Village Lions readily acknowledged the need and purchased the alarm for Holly.

On Friday 11th October the Club presented Holly and her mother with the alarm. Mrs Snowdon said it would make a dramatic difference to Holly giving her more independence as she gets older and both are very excited and grateful to the Club.

If you or anyone you know in the community requires assistance and could would benefit from help provided by Tamborine Village Lions Club please contact Richard Wright on 0414 554 268 or email tamborinevillagelions@live.com Sue and Holly Snowdon receive the sleep alarm

Metz Gets in the Pink

October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Cafe Metz owner, Dianne Crooks and her staff went Pink for the month, raising over $3,000 for the Cancer Council.

During October, Cafe Metz donated 20 cents from every coffee sold to breast cancer research.

In addition, donations were given by customers and Cancer Council merchandise sold, bringing the total raised to approximately $3,200.

Customers who have been touched by breast cancer were able to write on a pink apron (see pic below) which is on display in the cafe.

Di would like to thank all the customers who supported the fundraising during the month, particularly Wayne Reiser, who she said gave a generous donation.

Camden Walker begins his art training with Tamlyn Geiger

Bursary to Assist Budding Artists

Young Canungra artists have the opportunity to expand their artistic talents with local artist, Tamlyn Geiger of Red Door Studio, offering a bursary through Canungra State School.

Tamlyn is a diverse artist who has been painting and drawing as long as she can remember.

“I won my first art competition in grade three at school and I’ve been painting ever since,” she says.

“I have just always painted, I don’t know where it’s come from, I just always have.”

Students selected for the bursary receive a term of art classes which gives them an overview of several different mediums, as well as a starter pack of art supplies.

Principal Colleen Murphy said

the bursary began last term.

“We select a year level and the teachers of that year level then select the student based on their ability and the effort they have put into their artwork,” said Colleen.

This term Year 6 student Camden Walker received the bursary.

Camden is the son of another talented Canungra artist, Ged Walker.

Camden’s mother, Julie, said Camden is a keen artist who has filled sketch books with and is enjoying learning more from Tamlyn.

Red Door Studio is located at 10A Appel Street, Canungra.

Art classes are available for children and adults. For information or to view or purchase Tamlyn’s artwork, call 0408 435 655.

Beaudesert Electorate community and volunteer groups can now share in almost $1.3 million worth of funding for essential items and equipment.

Member for Beaudesert Jon Krause said the second funding round, opened on 21st October 2013.

“We understand the invaluable contribution community groups and their volunteers make to our local community so we are providing small grants of up to $5000 to help support these groups,” said Jon. “Bigger grants of up to $15,000 may also be considered for more substantial projects, such as making food preparation areas compliant with regulations or sun shade structures for a multipurpose sporting field.”

Mr Krause encouraged all local community and volunteer groups to apply for funding.

“These grants provide a fantastic opportunity to improve community facilities and upgrade resources, whether it is to upgrade software, computer, safety equipment or a

fridge,” he said.

“A small boost like this can go a long way for our community groups and their volunteers.”

Mr Krause said as part of the first Caring for Our Community funding round earlier this year, more than 300 organisations received grants for essential items and equipment.

“In the Beaudesert Electorate, Caddies at Jimboomba, Tamborine Mountain Historical Society, Rathdowney Area Development and Historical Association, Maroon School of Arts, Moogerah Passion Play and the Kalbar Show Society all received grants to assist them with projects that contribute to the community.”

“I know our community groups can make a little bit go a long way, and look forward to providing letters of support for interested groups.”

Applications for Caring for Our Community grants close on 2nd December 2013.

To apply for Caring for Our Community grants visit www. communities.qld.gov.au or contact the Beaudesert Electorate Office.

WORKSHOP OFFERS HOW-TO ON TENDERS

With Jon Krause Member for Beaudesert Legislation was passed in October to tackle the scourge of organised criminal gangs in Queensland. The Government has drawn a line in the sand, introducing mandatory sentences of at least 15 years imprisonment where criminals are found to be members of criminal gangs by a jury that has convicted them of certain offences. The legislation deliberately and unapologetically introduced penalties so severe to send a message to bikie gangs that their time in Queensland was over.

The Government has provided the police, the Crime and Misconduct Commission and the judiciary with the powers to deal with these gangs. It must be emphasised that these new laws are aimed only at criminal gangs – not law-abiding, recreational motorcyclists, many of whom support businesses across the Scenic Rim, in particular Canungra, every weekend of the year. This legislation targets criminal gangs and the intimidation and fear they strike into communities across our state.

Please contact me if I can be of assistance in any matter: PO Box 656, Beaudesert 4285 Phone 5541 4386 beaudesert@parliament.qld.gov.au

Businesses and individuals interested in supplying their services to local and state government are invited to attend a free how-to workshop next month.

The Tendering for Government Contracts Workshop is a Council initiative designed to help local suppliers maximise their chances of securing state and local government contract work.

Mayor John Brent said the workshop aimed to explain the tendering process and give attendees some tools in preparing effective tenders.

“Government contracting is big business in Queensland. Thousands of contracts are established each year between public authorities and private suppliers for the delivery of a diverse range of government business needs, from information technology to cleaning services,” Cr Brent said.

“The tendering process can seem overwhelming, particularly for smaller businesses. We hope this free workshop will help explain the procurement procedure, selection process and steps involved for prospective suppliers.”

Cr Brent said the purpose of the tendering process was to ensure government authorities obtained value for money outcomes to best serve the public interest.

“This fair and transparent process enables Council to determine the most competitive contracting solution from a selection of interested suppliers both locally and from further afield.”

“Ultimately, we want to help local suppliers gain an understanding of the contracting and tendering process of Scenic Rim Regional Council and the Queensland Government.”

The Tendering for Government Contracts Workshop will be held at The Centre, Beaudesert on Wednesday 13th November.

Light refreshments will be provided from 5pm, with the workshop running from 5.30pm – 8.30pm including a tea/coffee break.

Please register your attendance

by Friday 8th November. For more information or to RSVP, phone Kelli Rabbitt on 5540 5263 or email kelli.r@scenicrim.qld.gov.au.

Residents Urged To Be Prepared For Disaster Threat

Are you prepared should a natural disaster or emergency situation unfold?

“After three consecutive summers of severe storms and flooding rains, the possibility of another disaster event looms large on the horizon,” Mayor John Brent said.

“It’s vitally important that residents start thinking now about how they will prepare and respond in the event of a disaster.”

It is also about building our resilience to cope with the extreme weather and natural disasters that are a part of living not only in the Scenic Rim, but the entire state.

“Households need to have an Emergency Plan, Evacuation Plan and an Emergency Kit. Also, think about how you can prepare your home ahead of time and what you will need to do to manage your pets in a disaster situation.”

To assist the Scenic Rim

community to “get ready”, Council is providing free waterproof document wallets to residents which can be used to store important personal and household paperwork.

The wallets are available from Council branch libraries and Customer Service Centres at Beaudesert, Boonah and Tamborine Mountain.

For more information and advice on disaster preparedness visit the Get Ready Queensland website www.disaster.qld.gov.au/getready.

Council also plays a crucial role in relaying important information to the community during potential and unfolding emergencies through the print and broadcast media, its own website and on social media.

From My Window with Keer Moriarty, Editor

Where are you right now?

Are you here, reading this, or are you half reading and half thinking about something else? Concerned about finances, worrying about what your children are doing, or what you need to get done later in the week?

When we are busy, it seems there is never enough time. We are always thinking about something else, something that takes us away from living in the present moment. As much as we need to plan, prepare and reflect; it is also important to appreciate what is happening right now. You will never get this moment back again.

Try closing your eyes and becoming aware of what is happening around you. Listen to the sounds, feel the sunshine, notice your breathing and the way your body feels. Then open your eyes and look at the colour in the sky, the people around you and give yourself to the here and now. Be peaceful. Be here When we are mindful, deeply in touch with the present moment, our understanding of what is going on deepens, and we begin to be filled with acceptance, joy, peace and love. ~ Thich Nhat Hahn Have a great month everyone - take care.

From its association with poppies flowering in the spring of 1915 on the battlefields of Belgium, France and Gallipoli, the poppy has become a symbol of both great loss in war as well as support and hope for those left behind.

Between 2014 and 2018 Australia will commemorate the Anzac Centenary, marking 100 years since Australia’s involvement in the First World War. The 5000 POPPIES project is a community craft/art project which gives crafters of all persuasions an opportunity to help to create a field of more than 5000 poppies to be “planted” in Federation Square Melbourne on ANZAC Day 2015, as a tribute to Australian servicemen and women and their families for their service and sacrifice in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations over the last 100 years.

The project was initiated by two Melbourne based fibre artists Lynn Berry and Margaret Knight who have collaborated on a number of smaller community yarn art projects in the last few years.

It has certainly captured the imagination of the crafting community all over the world with poppies and tributes flying in.

There are a number of local community organised sister projects springing up in libraries, community groups, craft groups

and workplaces all around Australia, and in September, a New Zealand satellite project was also started up.

“To date nearly 3000 poppies have been received in slightly more than four months since the project commenced, including contributions from the USA and UK ... so we expect we will exceed our total by a very large margin with hundreds of poppies being received each week”, says Lynn Berry.

Poppies can be crocheted, knitted, felted or sewn from any materials, provided they can be displayed temporarily outdoors.

Any shade of red can be used and poppies should be no more than 15 cm in diameter.

“We would love to see the project live on as perpetual tribute, but in the event that that doesn’t happen, the poppies will be donated to a number of charitable organisations”, says Lynn Berry.

Further information as well as knit and crochet patterns are posted on the 5000 Poppies blog: 5000poppies.wordpress.com and on the facebook group page: 5000Poppies.

Your Own Piece Of History

This unique country property supports a fully irrigated 1200 tree organic olive grove along with an extensive orchard with colourful citrus, fig, guavas, apricot, apple and pear trees. A massive organic vegetable patch, herb garden and chook pen make this property almost self-sufficient.

Originally the property was the Biddaddaba Post Office. The building has been refurbished maintaining the original historical features from that period. The Farmhouse consists of 5 Bedrooms and office fully equipped with ADSL and FOXTEL with an adjoining but separate granary with its own pot-belly stove. Rare 10 foot high ceilings throughout and brush box and hoop pine interior make this a spacious and classical country homestead. Open plan kitchen with skylights, island bench and butlers pantry makes a great place to prepare family meals and enjoy family conversations.

Fully insulated and an air conditioned wine cellar means that this home has something for everyone. The main part of the house is nearly 150 years old and beautifully restored to maintain its old world charm. Reverse cycle air conditioning has been added to make the summer months more comfortable and an open fire takes care of the chilly winter nights.

This Classic Country Homestead boasts a boutique business known by locals as “The Farm Shop”. The Farm Shop offers olive and olive oil tastings and sells organic farm produce all sourced from Oliva Di Tabragalba’s olive grove, organic vege patch, orchard and herb garden. The Farm Shop is a popular spot for a weekend coffee while picking up fresh supplies for the pantry. A relaxing deck built from wood salvaged from the old cattle fences is a great place to unwind and pass the day.

This property offers lifestyle and an income in a much sought after area of the ever increasing Scenic Rim Shire.

Conveyancing Tips

Do you have a Self Managed Super Fund?

By Suzanne Roberts, Practice Director, Informed Conveyancing Lawyers

Following on from last month’s article, we ask you to be aware that if there is a corporate trustee of your Self-Managed Superannuation Fund, on the death of a member of the Fund, the corporate trustee remains in place and the surviving member will be the director of the Fund. If you have individual trustees, on the death or retirement of a trustee, documentation must be prepared for the change of trustee and all assets of the Fund need to be transferred to the new trustees. This will involve both legal and registration fees. Whereas, if you have a corporate trustee, the title to the assets remains with the company and the transition is much simpler and more cost effective.

In addition, there can be more flexibility with your estate planning where a corporate trustee acts for your SMSF because the company remains in place on the death of a member and rules can be put in place in the constitution for the company surrounding decisions about death benefit payments.

An additional benefit of having a corporate trustee is that the company itself will be liable for penalties rather than the individual trustees. Under the new penalty regime, each individual trustee could have to pay the penalty amount personally. Alternatively, with a corporate trustee, the penalty will only apply once.

Further, if there are significant penalties or tax liabilities, the company rather than individuals will be liable.

If you are an individual trustee, you are also responsible for the actions of your fellow trustee and liable for any resulting tax even if you have no knowledge of their actions.

Social Plan Outcomes Support Community

Implementation of the Scenic Rim Social Plan 2010-2020 continues to yield benefits for community. $70,000 has been allocated in 2013-14 to support the delivery of Council and communitydriven initiatives aligned with the 10-year plan which seeks enhance the wellbeing of the community across eight key themes.

The themes captured in the plan are: Transport and access that meets community needs; A community for all ages; A region of education and training; Healthy and active people; An inclusive community; Excellent community services and facilities; A great region for families and children; Strong local communities.

“The ongoing coordination and collaboration between Council and the community through the Social Plan Steering Committee ensures the plan continues to provide a focus on the region’s needs and aspirations,” Corporate and Community Services Committee chair Cr Nigel Waistell said.

The Social Plan Steering Committee comprises Scenic Rim Councillors and staff, key community members and a representative from Queensland Health.

Cr Waistell said three of the most important outcomes of the Social Plan to date had been the Scenic Rim Transport initiative to improve the connectivity of local communities, the annual Youth Leadership Program, which saw its 2013

cohort graduate on Monday, and the Healthy and Active Program which will be launched in 2014.

Another important outcome from the Social Plan has been the partnerships with our Transport Coordinators - Fassifern Community Centre, Centacare Beaudesert and Tamborine Mountain Community Care.

“We have achieved some key milestones over the past three years, but the nature of social and health issues is such that some outcomes will be less tangible than others and some actions may take a number of years to implement. However, it remains vitally important that we continue to meet these challenges through a whole of community approach,” he said.

Deputy Mayor Cr Virginia West, who was a founding member of the Social Plan Steering Committee, said Council’s investment and stewardship had already delivered many positive benefits to the community.

“The Social Plan was a major undertaking by Council in 2010, but the outcomes to date have included improved partnerships with the community sector, increased social and recreational participation across the region and increased community awareness of social and health issues,” she said.

“I would also like to acknowledge the committee’s chairman John Bartlett OAM for his advocacy and leadership in this role.”

Tamborine Mountain College to Offer Prep - 12

Tamborine Mountain College is pleased to announce its intention to become a complete campus P-12.

Tamborine Mountain College is an independent, co-educational, nondenominational school serving the hinterland community since 1995 as a secondary campus. As most people are aware, Year 7 will become part of secondary education in 2015. Tamborine Mountain College is accommodating this by implementing Stage 3 of its Master Plan. Four fabulous new classrooms will be constructed next year, ready for the grade 7 intake in 2015.

This year, the College negotiated the purchase of the adjoining property.

That has created the opportunity for expansion. Having established that there is a demand on the mountain for private primary independent education, the College is making application for accreditation to enable it to offer years prep to 6. Subject to the relevant Council approval being available, it is intended to establish a primary campus on the recently acquired property which will enable the College to offer P-12 .

That will complete what is the natural progression of an independent school.

Subject to relevant approvals being obtained and the anticipated level of demand being confirmed, the plan is to commence primary education in 2015.

The Primary campus will adhere to the Australian Curriculum and Early Years Curriculum Guidelines, with play as a context for learning. In addition, French will be introduced to the College to offer a language which is aligned with our Pacific neighbours and forms part of the College European trip, which is on offer at secondary level.

The College has a philosophy of a student-centred, safe learning environment with a family-like feel.

The secondary campus is capped at 250 students and the primary campus will uphold those same values, with capped numbers also. Surveys and statistical studies indicate a real need can be satisfied with the College’s expansion into primary education.

Mr Nicholls, who founded the College in 1995, had a dream for a complete campus but it was not possible to achieve it in his lifetime.

The College Board, headed by Chairman Mr Michael Kyle, along with Principal Mrs June Melbourne, has worked

tirelessly to make this happen. Many of the College families have wanted a complete campus of P-12 for many years and now the dream is likely to come true.

We are very lucky as a community to have such wonderful educational choices and opportunities right here on our doorstep!

Tamborine Mountain College Year 7 Welcome Day - TMC Leadership Day Monday 4th Nov 8.45am – 3pm

Change of Dates for Markets Leading up to Christmas

Canungra Valley Markets organiser Sue Kenna said market dates will vary for November and December leading up to Christmas.

The November market will be on Sunday 10th November and the December market has been brought forward to Sunday 15th December.

“We have had to accommodate some previous bookings at the School of Arts Hall, but also wanted to give people a chance to buy gifts for Christmas,” said Sue. The markets have raised much needed funds for the Canungra School of Arts Hall with stall holders paying

only $10 per stall and profits from the cost of stalls going to the Hall for maintenance and ongoing costs. Sue and her band of hard working helpers have organised the markets voluntarily for the past six months.

“We would like to see someone with fruit and vegetables on a regular basis,” said Sue. “There is a great range of craft items but we have been asked about fruit and vegetables regularly and haven’t been able to source a stall holder,” she said.

Sue is also looking for local community organisations who are able to hold a sausage sizzle or other food suitable for lunches on market days.

The Canungra Times, November 2013

Mayor John Brent has welcomed $300,000 worth of State Government betterment funding for Scenic Rim disaster restoration projects.

Cr Brent said $250,000 would be directed towards providing greater flood protection measures to the replacement Villis Bridge at Tarome, while $50,000 would be spent on culvert improvements in the Biddaddaba area.

The State and Federal governments, which jointly fund infrastructure restoration through the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA), established a Betterment Fund earlier this year to help councils rebuild roads and bridges to a more floodresilient standard following advocacy from local government.

Cr Brent said the cost of delivering emergent and longer-term restoration works arising from ex-Tropical Cyclone Oswald and subsequent weather events in

February and March was now expected to exceed $75 million.

“The damage bill includes approximately $3 million for the restoration of roads and bridges which were either under repair or had previously been restored following the disaster events of 2011 and 2012,” he said.

“This highlights the importance of restoring infrastructure to a higher level of resilience with the assistance of betterment funding where it represents value for taxpayers and the community.”

Cr Brent said Council had recently passed a milestone in its disaster recovery program with the completion works arising from the disaster events of 2011 and 2012.

“Approximately $58 million worth of repairs and restoration works to roads, bridges and facilities have been delivered under NDRRA,” he said.

Nature’s Gems

New Caledonia: Home of the Kagur

By Melissa Whitby My pursuit of rare and threatened wildlife has led me to encounter many unique bird species. Every birdwatcher has a list of “life” bird species they wish to see in their lifetime. One such bird is the national bird of New Caledonia: The Kagu. After much negotiation with my New Caledonian counterparts, I secured an opportunity to work with this mysterious bird at the Blue River Provincial Park in New Caledonia.

The Kagu has grey plumage with orange legs and beak. This unique bird is a ground forest dweller and has evolved to be almost completely flightless due to the lack of natural predators in New Caledonia. The Kagu is an interesting species as it lives in a family group. Much of its time is spent probing the forest floor for its favourite food: earthworms.

The birds will also eat grubs and other invertebrates that they may encounter on their foraging forays. Over the passage of time, the Kagu has developed ‘nasal corns’ which assist to keep the dirt from entering the nostrils whilst the bird is foraging.

When alarmed, this bird responds with an extraordinary threat display - wings outstretched to show a pattern used to frighten an adversary.

Although the Kagu is a bold and fearless bird, it was no match for introduced pest species. In the 1980’s, numbers of the Kagu dropped severely due to predation by feral cats and dogs. However, conservation efforts involving captive breeding of the birds to release into the wild and intensive pest programs have seen the numer of Kagu in Blue River Provinical Park New Caledonian Kagu increase from 60 birds in the 1980’s to 700 birds in 2009.

My time spent working with the Kagu in New Caledonia fulfilled a lifelong dream. This bird species captivated me completely. I am forever grateful to the organisations and individuals who worked so hard (and still are!) to stop this species from becoming extinct. It is my hope that the “Ghost Of The Forest” continues to haunt the forests of New Caledonia for many years to come.

AWL Pets of the Month

Charlie and Sasha would love to find a home together as they came from a home where they lived together for two years.

They love each other very much and would play with each other all day if you would let them. They would make great family pets where they can be made to feel a part of the family. They get on well with other dogs and kids. .

To meet our Pets of the Month, contact the Gold Coast Rehoming Centre to see if they are still available, or visit the AWL web site.

Green Team

Canungra State School Green Team had some fantastic exposure throughout October!

Firstly thank you to Kara Swift from Canungra Yoga for her lovely fundraising event which raised funds for our team. Again I was reminded of the fantastic community spirit that abounds in Canungra.

The Green Team represented Canungra State School at the first ever Sustainable Education Expo hosted at Hinze dam by SEQ Water. This event was aimed at teachers with the purpose of providing a platform to access a range of Environmental Programs aligned with the National Curriculum. Our team was one of only two schools on display and our aim was to promote our program and inspire teachers and parents to engage in similar projects. We had fantastic feedback and we were well represented by students, staff and parents on the day.

Thanks to all involved.

We were thrilled that the Canungra Sports and Recreation Inc (Showgrounds) has received a $24,000 State Government Grant to undertake restoration on the Canungra Creek upstream of the school grounds. The Green Team will host a revegetation Working Bee early 2014 to support this worthwhile project.

Finally the Green Team hosted a stall at the Family Fun Day on Saturday 26th October.

Our cooking club, under the expertise of Kate from Hinterland Harvest, made 160 pies for the event. They were a huge hit and we sold out by lunch time! We also had native plants, activities for the kids and advice about all things Green at our stall! Thank you to Kate Raymont, our Green team kids and parents and staff for their hard work and support which made this event another success for the Green Team!

Classes organised individual stalls to raise money for class activities and resources.

The aim of the Family Fun Day is a day for families to come to school and enjoy a day together.

Whenever the Sun goes into Scorpio, which it does at this time every year, you are directly challenged to come out of your comfort zone. As spring turns into summer, so you heat up. Venus is in Capricorn, making it imperative that you navigate a path between stilted and wild.

Situations are tricky. You will have to be careful of your step. The ground under you feet isn’t quite as solid as you would like it. There are emotional currents running, that it would be wise to take the time to tune into. With mars in Virgo you will have the energy needed to take care.

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Mercury lingers in Scorpio, where he is joined by the Sun and Saturn. Myth would have it that you are made up of a light twin and a dark twin. Think about them as a sunny twin and a moonlit twin. It’s the moonlit one that’s getting all the juice now. Feel, imagine, emote, and care.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)

The equilibrium you have been living hasn’t been quite real. It’s time to authenticate yourself. Stepping outside the bonds of political correctness isn’t permission to be obnoxious. It’s so you can find the values inside that will let you live beautifully, rather than have them imposed.

When the Sun goes into Scorpio, as it has now, it’s an odd time for lions. Though you may be the king or queen of the jungle, a tiny little scorpion can cause you a significant degree of havoc. Emotions can dent your pride. Integrate the feedback you are receiving. Don’t bat it off.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)

Mars spends the month steaming through Virgo. Mars brings nothing if not energy. Your challenge is going to be about how you manage that energy. If you try to inhibit it, it will drive you up the wall. Use it. Motor your way through all your creative challenges with gusto.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)

There’s a lot of activity in neighbouring Scorpio. Scorpio takes your beautiful ideas and plays devil’s advocate. Life is now likely to do just that. It will say, ok, we like your ideas, now here’s the reality that’s been hiding under the carpet.

How are we going to make this beautiful?

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)

Yours is a veritable hotbed of planetary activity. All your favourite passions are hotting up. All the interests you’d love to pursue, along with all the forces that constrain you, are brought to your awareness in high relief. Water doesn’t boil without heat. It is breakthrough time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Venus leaves you this month and heads over to Capricorn. They’re not very faithful these planets; they keep on moving. That’s the theme for you. Love and life keep on moving. Just when you think you’ve got it sorted, the Scorpio Sun insists on further regeneration. Go with it.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Venus arrives in Capricorn this month. She brings with her, bucket loads of joy. If there’s any issue you will have to navigate, it will be having to let go of old familiar songs of suffering. It’s surprising how attached we get to our sore spots. Let in the light. Go where delight is.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s not entirely uncomfortable for you to have familiar patterns broken up. You are at least intellectually open to the idea of constant creative change. The emotions that get stirred up might surprise you with their intensity. To get your work right, change has to be real. Regenerate.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The high-powered activity going on in Scorpio works well for you. There is a vastness in your heart that makes it possible for you to embrace transformative situations in the blink of an eye. Somewhere you know that everything that happens is ok in the grand scheme of things.

Well Being

With Clancy Beck

If you are tired and feel as though you are running on empty, try these simple tips to power up your system: 1. Drink plenty of water. Our bodies struggle to function properly without adequate hydration, so drinking at least two litres of water a day ensures your organs, cells and brain can operate effectively.

2. Avoid sugar, soft drinks, starchy carbohydrate foods (pasta, potato, white bread) and processed foods like cakes and biscuits which cause energy spikes and crashes. Eat more vegetables, pulses and protein and notice the difference.

3. Exercise! Even when you feel lifeless, a quick burst of exercise will increase your circulation, remove tiring toxins, and dissolve stress and tension.

4. Mind power. When we are motivated, we muster energy to do things. Focus on what excites you, and what you are grateful for. Don’t drain energy onto the past or what is wrong, and plan your time to achieve what is important to you.

5. Lose excess kilos - if someone asked you to carry a five or ten kilo bag around all day you would soon get tired, so if you are carrying excess baggage - take steps to lose it.

6. Quality sleep - avoid stimuli like caffeine, alcohol, or TV right before sleep, and relax with a warm shower, reading, meditation or music. Allow around eight hours of sleep for the body to reboot itself.

7. Energising activities - what makes you feel alive?

Playing sport, dancing, socialising, painting, meditation, swimming, sex, clearing clutter - whatever it is for you, make sure you are doing it! Reduce time wasting, tiring activities like long phone calls, excessive social media, toxic relationships, obsessive cleaning or striving for material possessions. Make time for the important things, or your day will fill with small stuff that leaves you drained and fed up.

TCT’s DVD Review Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Director: Lasse Hallstrom Stars: Emily Blunt, Ewan McGregor, Kristin Scott Thomas, Amr Waked.

Rated: PG-13. Run Time: 107 minutes

Looking for something a little bit different to watch tonight? This might just be it.

Ewan McGregor plays a British fisheries expert who is approached by a consultant (Emily Blunt) to bring salmon fishing to the arid desert in Yemen - the dream of wealthy Sheik .

Yes, the plot is pretty implausible, but once you get beyond that, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is a beautiful film.

The chemistry between Blunt and McGregor is evident from their first meeting and develops throughout the film.

While it is described as a romantic comedy/drama, I’m not sure this film really falls into any specific genre.

Email: peterpan@activ8.net.au Page 26

Lifestyle

In a mortar and pestle pound garlic and parsley together to form a paste.

Heat olive oil in a large fry pan (one that has a lid) and fry onion, capsicum and mushrooms for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle over paprika and stir through.

Add rice and stir to coat well. Add stock, saffron, citrus juices, bush tomatoes and garlic paste, put lid on and bring to the boil. Simmer over a low heat for 10 minutes.

Stir through crab meat, sprinkle over peas and place prawns decoratively around the pan with halved cherry tomatoes in between. Add a dash of water if you feel it needs it. Replace lid and simmer for a further 10 minutes. Remove from heat, leave to sit for 5 minutes and serve.

I Mean to Lean!

As a Christian you’ve probably been told by an atheist that God is the crutch you lean on because you’re too weak to stand on your own two feet!

As a young Christian I often failed to give a plausible response to that assertion.

These days I respond: “Yes, you’re absolutely right! I do need a crutch to lean on, because sometimes I am weak and need divine guidance to live a meaningful life!” I mean, if you call yourself a Christian you’re supposed to be perfect, right? Wrong!

Many times we are weak and make mistakes.

We lean on God precisely because we are imperfect! We needed a saviour named Jesus (His name means: ‘The one who saves’).

God wants us to lean on Him and be dependant, not independent. God desires relationship, not rule keeping.

Now I have a question for you! What do you lean on? If not Jesus, then what or who?

Money, alcohol, gambling, drugs, internet, intellect, a dysfunctional relationship?

We humans fill our lives with all sorts of junk but there’s a God-shaped hole in everybody’s heart only Jesus can fill!

Give yourself permission to be vulnerable, it’s okay to ask for help. Jesus told Paul in 2nd Corinthians Chapter 12, verse 9: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

Forget denial, be strong enough to admit you’re weak! Don’t delay, lean today!

Blessings, Pastor Greg Tamborine Life Church 0402662998 www.tamborinelifechurch.org.au

Emily Blunt and Ewan McGregor in Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Home made burgers and scones, selection of gluten free and vegetarian meals.

There is a peacefulness to this film and although some people may find it a bit slow, I enjoyed the development of the characters and their relationships, as well as the cinematography.

St Luke’s Anglican Church

By Di Ayscough, Guild President Members of St Luke’s have been following the Natural Church Development program which is based on research from over 60,000 churches worldwide. We have undertaken two surveys now to measure our church health and developed strategies to improve our weaker areas. These have included a review of our music, continuing Bible study groups and the establishment of a resource library.

On Sunday 20th October Sasha Gubbins was confirmed by Bishop Alison during her visit to St Luke’s. To mark her confirmation Sasha has volunteered to organize a Parish Morning Tea to raise funds for a new facility to be built in Brisbane for homeless women.

The following is a word, I believe is worth remembering. “PUSH”.

So when you need some help, things are not working out, you are feeling down etc etc.

P = Pray U = Until S = Something H =Happens.

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. Easy to remember, easy to do.

The Guild will be holding its December Street Stall on Saturday 14th December in front of T-Bone’s Butchery. Put this date in your diary and be there early, for the best homemade cakes, jams etc that money can buy.

A big thank you to John from Canungra Pharmacy. We were in need of a first aid kit for the church building and John kindly donated a well equipped kit for us to have on hand. Thank you John.

God Bless.

Congratulations to David Huynh for

Canungra Owls Soccer Club President, Bren Dalby presents David Huynh of Canungra FoodWorks with a Club jersey in appreciation of their support.

winning a Coach of the Year Award from Football Gold Coast for his efforts with our Womens Division 3 team.

Please get your pledge forms in if you are in a position to support the Canungra and District Community Bank Project.

The benefits to the club and the wider community can be enormous and it is a great way to truly be part of this community by you or your children or grandchildren becoming a shareholder or account holder in a bank owned by locals and run by locals.

Go the OWLS in 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Club Person of the Year Award was awarded to David Baker. This award was superbly well deserved David, without whom It is doubtful the club would still be operational!

Our AGM will be held on Tuesday November 12th at Moriarty Park at 7pm.

A good turn out would be appreciated!

We have nominations for several positions already which is great, but does not mean we would not like more!

I would also like volunteers to take on individual tasks and have made a list of some of those for you to ponder - team photos; monthly soccer news for Canungra Times; organising training shirts order and distribution; ordering socks and shorts; advertising up and coming games to attract supporters; organising trophies; line marking (we really need two volunteers to cover holidays etc. as lines need doing every week); assisting with pub raffles; organising a raffle at games; doing a monthly newsletter.

We also need help in the canteen, particularly when your child is training. It is imperative the canteen is open at all training sessions and games as this is our bread and butter which keeps fees low.

Hot food not compulsory, but easy having said that, and usually very much appreciated, but drinks etc must be available and Becky and I can’t do every day between us...too hard, but if we all do a wee bit we will have a successful canteen and club.

Look forward to seeing you at AGM or contact me on bren.dalby@bigpond.com or 0414 435 919 to discuss any of above or put your name down for a wee task!
