Notes Editor’s note ...

Many families returned to the weekend sports grind (pages 12 and 13) recently – including mine.

This means Saturday mornings are again spent searching for sports gear, packing coolers, lathering on sunscreen, then crisscrossing the Coast – and hunting for that elusive carpark - with a load of kids in tow.

And if you have more than one child, there’s the logistics of making multiple games in several sports.

So parents divvy up kids (after arguing over who has to drive to the Caloundra game), then dash off in different directions.

We may begrudge the imposition of foregoing part of our weekend, and bemoan the lack of appreciation from our kids, but it’s worth it when they score their first goal, set a new personal best, or congratulate a teammate.

Plus they’re not just playing a sport the kids are learning life lessons: how to work as a team, put learned skills into practice, how to win with humility and lose with grace.

At least that’s what we tell ourselves when there’s no rain on a Saturday morning…

SACHA HAMILTON-MACL AREN editor@eumundigreen.com.au ECCO thanks the volunteers who contributed over 100 hours production, collation and delivery work for the last issue of The Green Proofreading: Bronwen Pearson, Hamish Cameron, Anthony WynneHoelscher & Sacha HamiltonMacLaren.

Eumundi Markets the Sunny Coast’s biggest tourist attraction!

Join us for some FREE sustainable fun.

Be part of the 2017 Earth Hour festival - right here in Eumundi this Saturday 25 March. Enjoy an afternoon and evening of free, fun, family friendly activities! Kicking off in the Amphitheatre will be clay lantern making and weaving workshops, Indigenous games, papillon butterfly making, pot planting and live music (including the famous North Arm State School Marimba Band). Then, a delicious street food festival, Woodford style lantern parade and a free outdoor movie screening of fabulous and environmentally thought provoking animated film, WALL-E.

Recently, Experience Eumundi in association with Visit Sunshine Coast activated a significant research project to detirmine just what drives the success of Australia’s greatest artisan markets. The research encompassed two aspects - a carefully calibrated traffic and visitor count on Markets days into Eumundi from the north, east and southern entries; and an extensive markets visitor survey.

We’ll have the visitor survey summary completed in coming weeks, but for now the numbers are in for our traffic and visitor count. And, that number amounts to just shy of 1.2million markets visitors each year!

Who would have thought that what started on that fateful day, 24 March 1979 when ceramic artist Christa Barton and her friend Gail Perry-Somers held the first market in Eumundi, would turn into the Sunshine Coast’s biggest single tourist attraction. Makes you proud to be a “Eumundian”.

FA R M D O O R WITH A DIFFERENCE With feijoa season upon us in the hinterland, there’s no better Saturday country drive than heading out to visit Sally and Pete at the Hinterland Feijoas farm door on Browns Rd, Belli Park.

This year, after exploring the farm, sampling feijoa produce and patting the miniature goats and ponies, visitors can enjoy some country fare from Myrtle the catering caravan. Organic coffee and teas, feijoa ice cream, cakes, scones, and local cheese platters with Tanglewood Organic Sourdough are just some of the delicacies on offer. There’s also a lovely shop showcasing the works of creative locals.

Origins?

Fritz came to Australia from Switzerland in 1965 as an Accountant, and apart from a 6 year trip overseas with Australian wife Karen he has lived here ever since…finally making his way here to the Sunshine Coast 18 years ago.

Crazy Career changes?

Fritz made a dramatic career change by becoming a Pastry Cook and owned his own bakery shop in Canberra for 23 years! Apparently the rumour is that his pastries are divine.

Business Growth?

After spending 7 years at Parkside Markets, Fritz and Karen moved their business to Eumundi Square and have been enjoying their work here for 10 years!

Interesting facts?

Fritz speaks a few languages including Swiss German, German (yes it is different!) and used to speak French. As a tribute to his birth country Fritz wears a golden cow earring in his ear as part of the Swiss National Costume!

Business FUN, FOOD AND FRIENDSHIP

QLD FINALIST FOR RURAL WOMAN OF THE YEAR 2017 Businesswoman, mother of three, horse lover and Eerwah Vale local Jacqui Wilson-Smith is one of three Qld finalists shortlisted for the 2017 Australian Government’s Rural Woman of the Year. The award aims to celebrate emerging women leaders who are making a substantial contribution to primary industries and rural communities.

Jacqui shared that the award means a great deal to her because of the continued diversity gap at executive and board levels in Australian agribusinesses. “As a woman I still feel relatively lonely at the senior executive level,” Jacqui shared.

“I wish to be a role model and a peer for fellow women who want to consider careers with leadership roles in rural industries,” she explained.

Jacqui believes businesses who embrace this shift in gender perception have a statistically higher chance of become better

performers financially, due to the unique lens that a woman brings to the table.

“Career options for country women are more exciting than ever before!” Jacqui enthused.

Each State and Territory winner receives a $10,000 bursary to implement their award vision. Jacqui, who is the Global Innovation Manager at McCormick & Co, as well as the co-founder and Chairman of the Sunshine Coast Food and Agribusiness Network (FAN), said were she to win, she’d put the funds towards developing an online training platform for FAN. This would enable primary industry content to be accessible to rural communities, who face a range of challenges accessing useful content.

“Through this learning, regional farmers will be equipped to make better business decisions around innovation, resulting in fewer failures, higher sales and increased exports,” Jacqui explained.

The Award will be announced this week by the Minister for Agriculture, The Honourable Bill Byrne. If successful, Jacqui will go on to compete for the Australian Rural Woman of the Year Award!

The hinterland community came together on Sunday 12 March in a joyful celebration of those things that make life good on the Coast - and to raise money for palliative care in our region.

The Carnival theme for the Eumundi Rotary Long Lunch was a hit with guests.

Rotarians have been working for months bringing together support from community groups and local businesses who either gave of their time, or made generous donations towards staging the event. Three hundred and twelve guests enjoyed the three courses of shared platters, served between sparkling performances by our very own and much loved Doo Wop Dolls and charity ‘Queen’ Melony Brests. Lessons from past events, and careful attention to detail, ensured an afternoon of good cheer.

The $18,000 raised will be presented largely to Katie Rose Cottage, as well as Cittamani Hospice and Hummingbird House. Each provide important services for those facing final farewells. Eumundi Rotary thanks each of the one hundred and twenty volunteers whose contribution made the day so special and created a wonderful sense of camaraderie. President of Eumundi Rotary Club Greg Molyneux commented, “We worked together in recognition of those families amongst us going through some pretty tough times.”

Greg added, “Importantly the event gave our community the opportunity to see a very real need and then to do something about it - together”.

Special mention must go to the service staff who worked solidly all day. These were student volunteers from both St Andrews and St Teresa High Schools.

“It’s my turn!” screamed Phoebe impatiently as Zarah had just had her turn. Phoebe had her turn as she rolled a six again. She’s so lucky! I can’t have my turn because Phoebe keeps getting a six. Finally I get a turn. I love sister time because I can play with them and have fun. The best thing is that I love them and they love me.

“Nooooo!” I said to my beautiful mum.

“Why can’t it still be the weekend?” It was Monday, AGAIN! Go to the beach, talk, swim… what marvellous things I could do on the weekend, however I can’t do these at school because I don’t have my family. Luckily my beautiful sister Nuala has to feel the pain too. But when I get to school I get used to it. But the dreadful, horrible thing is that I miss my family!

So, as you can see, I love my family and I never want to leave it.

Sometimes our whole family goes out for dinner at a restaurant. On the weekends we go to the beach for a swim. We take turns on the bodyboard. After the beach we get in the car and go home. Then we have a shower, go to bed and kiss each other goodnight.

Sport SWIMMING

Alasdair Scott, Eumundi

Achievements and success can be measured in many ways, but are always more enjoyable when they are shared. This is what makes them truly memorable.

The inaugural Eumundi Swim Carnival was the culmination of a great deal of hard work by a number of volunteers, not just over the last 12 months, but going back many years to when a community minded group got together to campaign and raise funds for a pool in Eumundi.

Since the opening of the pool in 2008, many more people have been involved in the setting up and running of a Swim Club, which though still relatively small in numbers is big on achievements. Eumundi punches well above its weight and currently boasts two National Age Swimmers and a dozen State level swimmers, with a number of younger swimmers on the way through – a testament to the quality of the coaching.

On Sunday 12 March, 35

swimmers represented Eumundi as the club hosted 31 clubs from Bundaberg to Brisbane. Over 300 swimmers participated on the day and our beautiful facility was buzzing! It was a long day for all the volunteers and the success of it was due to the commitment, effort and teamwork of all involved.

Federal Member, Ted O’Brien, opened the meet and asked for a round of applause for all those volunteers as this is the only payment ever sought - a simple thank you. Parents with sporting children are always busy! Sometimes we forget that we are also modelling how to work together for a common goal to our children.

Even though the League boys were victorious on the day the real winner was the Jake Garrett Foundation, as $925 was raised.

All four netball teams have taken to the courts at Tewantin on Saturday mornings to put their stamp on the local netball competition.

And what better time to be involved in netball than now?

With the inaugural Sunshine Coast Lightning team making an impressive debut in the national Super Netball competition, momentum in the sport is huge.

Eumundi State School (ESS) has a stronger netball following than ever. This is the first year (in many) that we have forwarded four teams into the local competition.

Our first few weeks of training leading up to the round robin grading games has been filled with fun, friendship and fantastic input from coaches and families.

Players have taken the court over the last three weeks of grading, looking prepared and showing lots of promise on court.

Unfortunately the first Saturday was called off due to rain, but it was a great rehearsal for the real thing on Saturday 11 March.

Players from year three to six are starting off what we hope will be a long and enriching netball experience. We are especially blessed with input of very talented coaches. Fiona Bastow is the coordinator extraordinaire as well as coach, with Bonnie

Health ACTIVE AGING

Brooke Conlan, personal trainer & group fitness, Eumundi

As you get older, there are numerous benefits to training for both men and women over 40 years old. Strength and cardiovascular fitness is really important for both mental and physiological wellbeing. Physical exercise helps maintain stamina, strength and suppleness, as well as reducing the risk and severity of hypertension, osteoporosis, obesity and diabetes mellitus. As you get older, exercise can slow down the changing physiology that occurs with age. Did you know as women enter their 40s they can expect to lose approximately 1% of their bone density per year and anywhere between 20-40% of their muscle mass by the time they are 80 years old?

Raw cacao bounty slice

Maliya Bourke

A question I get asked a lot is what’s the difference between cacao and cocoa? While cacao and cocoa come from the same plant, the way they end up has different effects on their nutritional benefits. Once cacao beans are dried and fermented, manufacturers heat them at a low temperature. Cocoa however is heated at much higher temperature and therefore the health benefits are not as good. That means that cacao, which is less processed, has more powerful antioxidant effects and health benefits. Raw cacao is also a ‘superfood’ because it’s high in magnesium, calcium and iron, as well as having over 20 times more antioxidants then blueberries.

Eating cacao helps to release endorphins - the body’s natural opiates - and gives you a happy feeling of euphoria.

HOW TO COMPOST Graeme Sait, sustainable agriculture teacher, Eerwah Vale Composting is the single biggest contribution anyone can make to averting climate change.

Much of what you compost would otherwise have returned to the atmosphere (thickening the CO2 blanket). Plus compost, when applied to the soil, contributes more carbon than it contains. Compost supports and stimulates the organisms that build stable humus in your soil.

The key to compost making is the carbon to nitrogen ratio - which should ideally be 30:1. You can download a free calculator app on your phone or the internet to determine the likely C:N ratio of your end product, but if you follow this basic recipe it shouldn’t be necessary. Compost making is not rocket science and anyone can do it - here’s how ...

Thoroughly wet down each layer as you construct the pile.

Recipe For Simple Static Compost

You can monitor the need for any additional water requirements by taking handfuls from throughout the pile and squeezing them.

Source a combination of carbon and nitrogen inputs. Carbon is brown material like spoiled hay, straw, wood chips or sawdust.

Nitrogen is green material like fresh mulch, slashed grass, or green waste from Councils.

Animal manure can involve cow, pig, horse or chook manure depending upon whatever is available in your area.

Start with a 20 cm layer of brown material and sprinkle the completed layer with lime, a little completed compost (as a starter) and animal manure. Soft rock phosphate is another great input that can also be sprinkled over this layer. This clay-based phosphate introduces the clay component that ensures the formation of a clay-humus crumb during composting. This in turn will produce humus with an amazing 35 year shelf-life.

The second 20cm layer involves the green material and this is also dressed with sprinkled lime, compost starter and manure, and thoroughly moistened with a hose.

Simply continue this layering process until the free standing pile is two to three metres high and when the pile is complete you cover it with something that can breathe - like old sacks, carpet or similar. The compost will heat aggressively for the first month and should be turned a couple of times during that period so that it is not overcooked. Then the materials can sit undisturbed and decompose for up to two years.

Green material is Nitrogen rich.

N atu re N otes DIRE WOLF – A PUZZLING E X T I N C T I O N Kon Hepers, Eumundi A few years ago we visited the Page Museum at Rancho La Brea Tar Pits, in Los Angeles, to look at a collection of iceage fossils. This museum is outstanding and probably the world’s foremost repository of American megafauna fossils dating from between around 40,000 and 11,000 years ago.

At that time the monstrous dinosaurs had already been extinct for over sixty million years but many of the mega fauna fossils on display at La Brea show an assembly of truly terrifying creatures. Most of these disappeared around the end of the last Ice Age, about 11000 to 12000 years ago in the Pleistocene epoch, but fortunately the Tar Pits have a comprehensive collection of their fossil remains.

At that site, for many thousands of years asphalt seeped to the surface from deep underground pools to form ponds of black, sticky, semi-solid material.

(Note that although La Brea means tar, it is actually asphalt that seeps up). Dust, dirt and water gather on the surface, concealing the black colour and maybe the odour as well. This makes a perfect lethal trap; animals that ventured on to the surface became stuck, slowly sank down and eventually were covered over. Thousands of years later their entombed remains, especially bones, are preserved as fossils.

Looking out over this part of California would have been like looking over the Serengeti Plains in Africa with vast herds of herbivores grazing and browsing, stalked by massive predators. Many fossils from that site represent animals whose direct descendants are still extant today, mainly smaller ones like skunks, hares, antelopes, and coyotes. But by the end of the Pleistocene ice age all the megafauna, the huge beasts, had disappeared.

There were two species of bison, both much bulkier than the present day species; one of them had a horn-spread at almost three metres tip to

tip. Surprisingly, camels had evolved in North America but disappeared from there about 11,000 years ago. They were about 20% larger than the two species found in Eurasia and introduced into Australia.

Horses also evolved in North America and there were huge numbers of them on the plains.

Horses disappeared from America at the same time as the camels, only to be restored to their original home by the Spanish Conquistadors some 12,000 years later. The modern species evolved independently in Eurasia.

Dire wolf.

Towering above these animals were four-and-a-half ton mammoths with their highpeaked bodies and enormous tusks. The somewhat smaller mastodons were also in the assemblage. Both had come in from Africa, via Eurasia over the Bering Land Bridge (Beringia) made possible by the extremely low sea-level during the last Ice Age. Four species of huge Ground Sloths had come in from South America, one the size of an elephant. They were the only mammals with two sets of ribs and equipped with large claws for grasping plant food as well as defence. When standing erect on their hind legs they would have been a formidable sight.

Preying on such huge herbivores were large, muscular carnivores equipped with size, stealth, strong claws and huge fangs.

Chief among these were the sabre-toothed cats. (To call them “sabre-toothed tigers” is incorrect: they were not related to tigers and, in fact, not related to cats at all.) These killers were about the size of a lion but more solidly built with retractable claws to hold their prey while they used those 18 cm long incisor fangs to sever the prey’s spinal cord.

They were “stalk and ambush” predators who hunted prey larger than themselves. They never crossed the Beringia land bridge into Eurasia and became extinct as the large herbivores 17

Sabre-toothed cat and ground sloth. dwindled out. The Page Museum has about 2000 skulls on display.

An equally large predator was the “American lion”. Its fossil remains share features with extinct Eurasian cave lions, African lions, tigers and jaguars.

Early restorations based on bone structure indicated that they closely resembled living lions. But more modern analysis shows that they were “super” jaguars, capable of crushing victims’ skulls with one bite.

The most common large predator (the museum has over 4000 skulls) was the Dire Wolf.

This was a scaled-up version of the present-day Timber Wolf which co-existed at that time, but was supressed by the more robust Dire Wolf. Both species hunted in packs to bring down their prey but the more solid Dire Wolf out-competed the smaller species. Prey items for both included the young of the

large herbivores, especially the horses and bison as well as the plentiful smaller species like antelopes and deer.

Then the tables turned. As the climate changed at the end of the Ice Age, so did the plant fodder for the large herbivores which had to adapt, migrate or die out. Most became extinct, as did the mega-carnivores which had preyed upon them.

The Dire Wolf followed into extinction. We have wondered about this.

Given that several key prey species survived this extinction event and even bred up into immense numbers, such as the American bison, almost all of the food requirements for the Dire Wolf (and the Timber Wolf) were still available, with less competition from the mega carnivores. So why did the Dire Wolf become extinct? Staff at the Page Museum had no Cont’d on pg 18

microbes. Added to compost at a rate of 6%.

• Raw Humates – brown coal contains organic carbon and releases humic and fulvic acids.

Do not exceed a rate of 20%.

• A slight ammonia smell may be evident in finished compost but would also indicate the need for more browns (carbon).

This composting process is slower than more actively managed long rows (windrow) of compost used for larger volumes, but it is much less time consuming, less labour intensive and it produces a great end product. The key here is to avoid the addition of a nitrogenbased accelerant.

• Soft rock – contains phosphate, calcium and silica.

Extends compost longevity.

• Bone meal and cottonseed meal – good source of nitrogen.

• The compost is ready when temperatures inside the pile are steadily dropping (less than 40°C) and plant matter is mostly humified (amorphous).

The compost should exude a strong, earthy, forest floor smell.

What to Avoid

• Woodash – good source of potassium.

blog.nutri-tech.com.au/artand-science-of-composting.

Some raw ingredients can reduce compost quality: chemically treated wood products, arsenic, meat, bones and fatty foods which attract pests (like rats), weeds, diseased plants, cooch and nut grass, pet litter, large quantities of pine needles.

Enriching Compost There are several ingredients that’ll boost the fertilising and supportive power of your compost.

• Seaweed – provides trace minerals and growth promoters.

answer but we knew somebody else we could ask. In Australia we happen to have one of the world experts on the mega fauna period of American History – Professor Tim Flannery. At a Land for Wildlife conference we managed to draw him aside and pose the question.

Professor Flannery told us that he was also puzzled by this Dire Wolf question and could give us no complete answer, and more research is required.

So we are in good company.

Of course the arrival of the apex predator – man - from Eurasia across the Bering Land Bridge towards the end of the Pleistocene Ice Age could be a major contributing force, although the oldest human remains and artefacts uncovered from La Brea date back only 9000 years, about 2,000 years after the Dire Wolf became extinct in that area.

When It’s Ready Your nose and eyes are handy tools when deciding if a pile is fully mature. The length of composting can vary based on water, microbes, oxygen, temperature and composition.

• Take a sample from deep within the pile with one hand only.

• The material should be dark brown in colour rather than black (black can mean the compost is overcooked).

• If the compost stinks, it is not ready and may require turning
