he good thing about a cold, wet winter – apart from the log fires, comfort food, slippers and warming drinks – is when the nice weather finally arrives we really appreciate it. There’s been the odd electric blue day, but the ground is still squelchy and the grey clouds keep rolling in. My garden is telling me that spring is near. The bulbs are shooting, rogue tomato plants are braving it and the house smells of jasmine. Not long now Eumundi!

Before we know it we’ll all be desperate for a cool breeze.

Business News Thank you Eumundi Meats Melina Blanco

New owners for newsagency

A huge heartfelt thank you to Jon and Jake from Eumundi Meats who have supported me by generously donating their delicious organic beef sausages for my fundraising BBQ! Their generosity is greatly appreciated and has warmed my heart. Thank you so much for supporting me in my journey to help Bravehearts make Australia the safest place in the world to raise a child.

Melina will be holding another BBQ on 10 August at Tewantin Woolworths with all proceeds going to her very worthy cause of child protection.

Margie and Paul Mullins have recently moved from Toowoomba. The couple were looking for a lifestyle change after careers in childcare and managing Pacific Seeds. They bought Eumundi’s newsagency after falling inlove with the area. Paul said he’s keen to work with other traders in town to help strengthen the local economy.

Breakfast summit will be at Alfresco’s Garden Café at Kev and Ken’s Garden Centre, 1381 Noosa Eumundi Rd, Friday 23 August.

Entry is $10 payable at door which includes a breakfast snack and tea and coffee service.

RSVPs emailed by Wednesday 21 August will assist catering.

Members and visitors welcome to attend and have a say.

Long time Eumundi local and former market stallholder Sandee has recently opened a pop-up shop selling quirky op-shop treasures. The shelves are overflowing with funny finds – many of which bring back childhood memories.

Operating Wednesday Markets for Our Community

Donation to Yandina Creek Progress Association Our members recently voted to donate $2000 to the Yandina Creek Progress Association’s No Blasted Quarry campaign.

A quarry half the size of Peregian Springs was proposed to operate in the nearby rural residential area of Verrierdale and Yandina Creek but the development application was not approved by Sunshine Coast Council. The developer has appealed and the Association is joining forces with Council in the appeal to try to preserve the beauty and quiet enjoyment of the area. The appeal was due to start on 22 July but has been postponed until 18 November to allow both sides to consider new information. It seems the quarry sits directly beneath the flight path of the proposed new east west runway at Maroochydore Airport. Association members have been raising funds from a variety of sources to assist defray the costs of legal representation.

Further information on the proposed quarry or fund raising activities is at www.quarryfight.com.au.

Community News Councillor Rogerson update Eumundi Live The organisers of Eumundi Live have a great vision to bring live music to Eumundi’s amphitheatre on a monthly basis. I attended the community information evening to hear about the proposal and there was a positive exchange of ideas and community support for what the organisers are trying to achieve. Specific details, like the price of tickets, are yet to be finalised and I’m hoping that Eumundi locals will be lining up to support the first event.

Community grants Not-forprofit community groups with an exciting project coming up can apply now for funding through Council’s Community Grants Program. The funding is for one-off projects, activities or events that directly benefit the community and generate lots of community involvement like festivals, workshops and Christmas celebrations.

Discover the best way to present your business to both the govt and private sector – there’s a session on at Cooroy library Wednesday 4 September from 6pm - remember to make a booking.

Councillor in Division 10 Cr Greg Rogerson

Locals can have their say about road safety with a review into speed limits across Qld. You have the opportunity to nominate a local road for a speed limit change. Member for Noosa, Glen Elmes said, “If you think there is a road with too many speed zone changes or you have a suggestion to make speed limits easier to understand, we really want to hear from you.”

“We have had a lot of feedback over time about Cooroy-Noosa Road, in particular. Local users have been adamant that the present 100 kph zone should be reduced to a maximum of 80 kph for safety reasons,” he said.

Submissions can be made at www.tmr.qld.gov.au/SpeedLimitReview

from now up until midnight Friday 6 September, or posted to Speed Limit Review, PO Box 673, Fortitude Valley Queensland 4006.

Community News Parking issues in Eumundi Div 10 Cr Greg Rogerson said on any day of the week parking can be a problem in Eumundi so locals can expect more of a council presence. Cr Rogerson explained he had heard from numerous frustrated locals about people parking; over driveways, across pathways and in parkland. “At Napier Rd next to the Goodstart Childcare Centre there are safety concerns for parents who can’t access short term parking as vehicles take up valuable parking spaces for long periods of time,” he said.

There are also safety concerns and parking issues on Caplick Way, near Cook St, at the ESS entrance, with parents and

children crossing a wide, busy road, in between buses. A council worker was recently spotted measuring this strip of road, but said it was not for a crossing. He declined to comment what he was measuring for. It is believed that ESS has been asking for a crossing on this strip of road for 15 years.

A number of ESS parents have told Eumundi Green a drive through pick-up-drop-off zone would be a huge help in improving traffic and safety. The parents also said a school bus that runs to and from Cooroy would alleviate carparking congestion also.

Greg Rogerson informed Eumundi Green last Thursday that car parking officers will be coming on market days to book illegally parked cars.

Airport Expansion Project Project Manager Simon Kinchington outlined some of the details of the expansion project to members and guests at the July Chamber of Commerce meeting.

Construction is scheduled to commence in 2016 subject to federal government

assistance to Council. The Environmental Impact Statement is expected in early 2014. As well as construction and operations plans, it will include flight paths and air emission, the plans for fill material, ecology and economic and social issues.

Quarry trial Victoria Kane The No Blasted Quarry Campaign trial has been extended to 18 November. This extension allows both Council and Parklands Blue Metal to engage the necessary experts to “nut out” the new issue of possible impacts on the proposed new runway at Sunshine Coast Airport. The new date also means more time to raise much needed campaign funds - over $150,000 has been raised so far. We must mention our thanks and appreciation for the generosity and support that the Eumundi community has shown to the No Blasted Quarry Campaign. Eumundi &

District Community Association (EDCA) and Eumundi Historical Association (EHA) have both contributed financially and space was made available for us at the Original Eumundi Markets (OEM) to sell raffle tickets to win a beautiful bushblock. The No Blasted Quarry Campaigners have also been offered the opportunity to raise funds by way of volunteering at the Eumundi Markets Car Park (ECCO) which has been a great boost to our bottom line. www.quarryfight.com.au or like us Facebook/Yandina Ck Quarry Fight.

SPS Energy Day Dennis Dowling A legion of invited clients from as far as Toowoomba attended a presentation by Jock Howard focused on getting the best return from solar generators now the cost of electricity has increased by 22.6 per cent.

“The cost of electricity has risen by over 75 per cent in the last four years eroding the family budget and the benefit to home owners with solar generators,” he said.

The topics for discussion centred on the causes of unrelenting cost drivers for energy delivery

affecting the eastern seaboard of Australia and Queensland in particular. “To rein in costs, reduced spending on infrastructure maintenance and reliability will havelong term consequences for all Queenslanders. Our purpose was to propose strategies that ensure energy savings and security,” Jock said.

Jock said the information day was a huge success. The lucky door prize, a $50 voucher for spending at Eumundi businesses, went to local Mark Dare.

In the Spotlight Eumundi and District Community Association (EDCA) Although the exact date is unknown the Eumundi and District Community Association was established in the early 1980s following the Queensland Associations Incorporation Act of 1981. Over the years a number of

people have been instrumental in its development. The first president, Brian Gee, was well known within the community for his Napier Rd Rose Farm.

Ron Anderson, another long serving president and member, was employed by Council to maintain the town’s footpaths, parks and gardens.

This arrangement was instigated by then councillor Kent Hartshorn.

Due to Ron’s efforts Eumundi became the only place in the shire to have its own resident groundsperson.

Ron was admired by many and took great pride in the town. A long term local resident said of Ron, “I got to know Ron quite well before he was cruelly taken from us...and can only think of a belated but genuine epitaph: I still miss Ron Anderson - a charming, humble and generous citizen archetype, a role model for all of us”. The Ron Anderson Memorial Trust was dedicated to him. Kent Hartshorn and his wife Cheryl are among the few who have had a continuous association as members since the 1980s. From the start EDCA was a strong supporter of acquiring the exrailway land in Eumundi for the benefit of the community when the town was bypassed by the rail. It later applied to Council to convene markets on the terraces opposite the post office on Wednesdays – this led to the birth of the Wednesday markets almost 15 years ago. A portion of the funds generated by these markets is deposited into the Trust for future community projects.

Objectives EDCA is a not-for-profit incorporated association. Its objectives are: to be a voice for the local community, to be a strong advocate for projects to improve the liveability of the town and to support residents within the immediate locality.

Management structure The management committee consists of president, vice president, and secretary/ treasurer. There is also a markets manager. All positions are voluntary including the market manager role which requires a

8

Eumundi Green

substantial time commitment.

Members nominate and vote for these positions at the Annual General Meeting in September.

Aside from their current committee positions within EDCA, Cherrie Orr and Louis Formosa are EDCA nominated directors for ECCO. Where does the money come from and where does it go?

How are decisions made?

All funds are raised from Terrace market stall holder rents.

Sixty per cent of the total is directly deposited into a Council held Trust to fund major projects such as the Eumundi Aquatic Centre and the proposed Eumundi Hamlets Seniors Facility. The Trust was set up by EDCA together with the then Maroochy Shire Council - now the Sunshine Coast Regional Council. The Trustees are the Eumundi State School Principal, the serving divisional councillor (currently Cr Greg Rogerson) and an elected trustee from EDCA (currently Louis Formosa).

A formal annual meeting is held and Trustees also convene when EDCA proposes a project such as Eumundi Aquatic Centre and the proposed Seniors Accommodation project. The Trust is set up to ensure that a significant proportion of EDCA Wednesday market revenue (after expenses) ends up being used for community benefit.

The remaining 40 per cent of market funds is then used to cover association running costs and to fund grants within the community, such as grants to local (within 4562 postcode) sports groups, disadvantaged local families, wildlife groups, Eumundi Showgrounds and community events including Australia Day celebrations, ANZAC Day, Christmas carols etc. EDCA also contributes to the projects of other organisations such as the Body Art Carnivale. In the last financial year approximately $25,000 was given in small grants to a number of local applicants.

How can groups/individuals apply for funds? What is the application procedure and dates of funding rounds?

Applicants must be from within the 4562 postcode.

Applications must be made in writing to EDCA. The members vote on the individual merit of the application.

Judith Pattison

How can individuals support the work of your organisation? How can they get more information about what you do?

People interested in membership are encouraged to attend the monthly meetings held on the second Monday of each month at 7pm, generally at Joe’s Waterhole lounge area. Membership joining rules are in line with those used by other local community groups.

Financial reports and minutes are available to all members on a monthly basis.

What would you like the community to know about you?

President Adrian Combes said, “EDCA has a long history of locals volunteering their time to the betterment of the community. In line with its objective to ’improve the liveability of the town’ EDCA has assisted many local community groups and local athletes and was a major contributor to the Eumundi Aquatic Centre. The association is now providing funds for the Eumundi Hamlets, a proposed seniors

accommodation facility at the southern end of Memorial Dr. A community consultation project on seniors’ accommodation in partnership with the University of the Sunshine Coast is currently underway. We welcome new members who are interested in community development through EDCA.”

Current board of directors President Adrian Combes Vice President Cherrie Orr Secretary/treasurer Lainie Adams Markets manager Louis Formosa Eumundi Green would like to thank EDCA for it’s ongoing advertising support.

Apply now for Community Grants The Community Grants Program offers funding to not-for-prot community organisations for projects, events and activities that benet the Sunshine Coast community.

Groups can apply for a minor or major grant through one of seven categories: • Community Development • Cultural Development • Cultural Heritage • Economic Development • Environment • Festive Season • Sport, Recreation and Healthy Living.

Applications close 5pm Friday 16 August 2013.

Emergency Grants and Individual Development Grants are open all year.

Your Say Lost dog found

On Monday we lost our beloved Staffy “Tosh” after a house gate was left open. My

big thank you to Annie for looking after Tosh and getting her back to us. Also, we have to thank Eumundi Green for putting the post on facebook. Without their kindness and compassion it could have been a very different August.

Ben Oliver, Eumundi.

Thank you furry babies

family and I were distraught. We rang the pound, RSPCA and local vets but no luck. Tuesday night I slept in our garage in a swag with the door open in the hope that she might come home during the night. On Wednesday I rang ABC local radio and reported our details and contacted Eumundi Green in the hope that someone would have found my daughter’s favourite friend. I canvassed the local area with posters, but was beginning to have doubts we would ever see her again. On Thursday however, I received a phone call from Annie McKenzie who told me that Tosh had come into her house on Wednesday and not left her side since. Annie saw the Eumundi Green facebook post about our missing dog and gave me a call. My daughters, wife and I are so happy to have Tosh back and just want to say a

I would like to say a little thank you in the Green to all my wonderful clients that supported Eumundi pet grooming during my first year and I look forward to providing great customer service and love to all my furry babies.

Regards Desley Law

Need a house minder?

I’m about to start building a new house in Eumundi for myself and my two teenage children.

During this time I will need some low rent or free accommodation and had even hoped to “house sit”. I will be needing accommodation from around the end of August for about six months - long term or short term.

I am happy to care and cater for pets and gardens. I have lived locally for about 16 years. If you think you can help please email janine0717@gmail.com. I will be away until 18 August but after that it is full steam ahead with packing and moving.

Thanks, Janine Ammitzboll

Schools and community kids Pomona King of the Mountain Primary Relays Garry Kiogaard, ESS PE teacher

Eumundi State School achieved 4th place (even with the year 7’s in Canberra) against 50 teams. Not a bad effort!! We had to train in the hall for last week as the school oval was saturated. I was impressed with all our runners who put in top efforts to get the best possible position for their team. I was especially impressed with Jaden and Chloe Roberts who both ran twice to make up numbers in another team. Thanks to year 3 student, Zane Johnson, who substituted at the last minute. Thank you to all the parents who were a great support to the team and made my job a lot easier. A big thank you to the Original Eumundi Markets for their kind sponsorship.

Good Shepherd impress on the track

There was a fantastic turnout from Good Shepherd Lutheran College at this year’s King of the Mountain. All students performed their best and did their school very proud.

T

he air rushes around me, a cooling sensation fills my lungs. I can hear the chain clicking and the cogs turning. I lean into the turn, narrowly missing the barrier. Then I am leaning in the opposite direction and the barrier is rushing towards me again. Mount Panorama is certainly steeper on the descent.

I have always loved bike riding, starting at only four years old when I would fly down our driveway screaming with joy and terrifying my parents. Riding is still part of my life and I ride to school most days. On the weekends my dad takes my sister and me on rides from the Noosa Civic to the beach and back. Sometimes he takes me on exhausting rides on the hilly ranges that are behind Cooroy.

All types of bike riding are enjoyable for me, from doing tricks on the BMX at the skate park, to flying down narrow mud tracks on a mountain bike. I love how it makes me forget about any problems and puts me in a world of my own. Quite a few of my friends ride too and it is really enjoyable when we get together on the weekends and holidays and go riding.

The only problem for me is that to get into town I have to cross over the Noosa-Eumundi Road Bridge. As there is no pedestrian path I am forced to travel on the road. It would be a lot safer for me and other pedestrians if action were taken to build a pedestrian path.

It confuses me why people do not like exercise because to me, it is not boring and I do not see it as a chore. Bike riding is very enjoyable and in my opinion everyone should be given the opportunity to ride and do the exercise that they enjoy. To me exercise is not a chore but a blessing from nature.

Markets and local crafts Dressmaking Faith Thurnwald

ECCO community services

Look at that blue sky!

O

n a Tuesday afternoon in Sonya Patrick’s kitchen Sonya told me she had never liked the clothes she found in clothing shops. So she started making her own clothing, or adding bits and pieces to clothing she had bought. People would always ask Sonya where she got her feminine dresses from, so when she needed to take time off from her gardening work due to back problems, she started sewing for other women too.

Was there anything or anyone that inspired you? No, I like simple things, I don’t use patterns or anything. I used to make my own clothes because I never liked what I saw in shops.

Have your designs changed over time? Not really. I have always liked a nice wide boat neckline. I don’t like dresses that stop at the knee.

Where do you get your materials from? Here, there and everywhere.

I try to support the local shops because everyone buys stuff online. I don’t buy materials from China at all. There are no two sizes that will ever be the same and people tell me that I should make the dresses into sizes, but a dress that fits me can fit a lady who is two sizes bigger than me!

What do you get out of it? I get really exited! I love doing it!

Do you do any other craft? I do. I love making my home nice. I love to make beautiful wind chimes.

Where does your inspiration come from? Flowers. Vintage design.

People on the street. I always look at women and think, “Well with that she could add a leather belt or something else.” And colour. I try to use colours I wouldn’t always choose to wear myself.

How do you find the time for it? Do you allocate blocks of time just for sewing? That was the plan. I get distracted though. I will end up in the garden doing something, when I should be sewing. Working from home is hard.

Do you continue to improve your sewing skills by going to workshops? I just keep trying out new things and ideas. I have new ideas but rarely have time to do them.

What motivates you to keep doing what you do? Just the love of it!

Anything to say to Eumundi Green readers? Well, we all complain about Chinese made products, but we never do anything about it. I buy locally for my sewing, but with everyday products I am sometimes guilty of buying Chinese made.

New car park volunteer for the Chamber of Commerce, Olivia Dolan with some help from car park co-ordinator Richard Thurbon, drew the ticket of a Sunshine Coast local Kristen Goddard as the winner of the car park monthly lucky draw for a $50 markets shopping voucher.

Car park co-ordinator Richard Thurbon is delighted to see the blue sky after so many weeks of wet weather. Richard said, “It has been challenging to keep the car park at its best most of 2013 but the dedicated car parking crew and the patience of drivers have made it possible to park almost all comers during the busy winter months.

“So long as the weather holds, long planned maintenance projects that have been on the back burner can get cracking,” said Richard. The regular major resurfacing and extension of gravel depends on conditions being dry enough to allow compaction and such conditions have been sorely missing. The extension work will result in the creation of an expected 30 additional car parks along the Albert St perimeter.

Richard said, “Another overdue project is a planting program agreed with Landcare last September with grasses designed to soak up water, provide a green belt and guide urban drivers away from drains. It is hard to believe but that project was delayed in the early summer because Landcare considered the soil too dry. With rain every few days or more often for the last six months Landcare cannot complete the preliminary drainage work for the plantings but today’s blue sky gives us hope that this work can at last get started.”

ECCO directors have recently approved in principle an amenities block including toilets, a shower, baby and disabled facilities for the car park for construction this year. This project has been a long term goal to improve the comfort of market visitors, stall holders and volunteers.

Perhaps we can all take Sonya Patrick’s advice and support our local community. Instead of buying from overseas or online, we should try to buy locally handmade products.

Landcare has selected this Lomandra grass as the preferred planting species for greening the car park and improving its drainage capacity.

Theatre and Books Indee Theatre John Burls

W

ith Comedy and Consomme done and dusted (and what a beaut season), the focus is now firmly on the September school holidays and December’s topical revue.

Reality Bites 2013: highbrow to the hinterland Judith Pattison

September’s classic Theatre will be The Wind in the Willows, a wonderful adventure musical, peopled by a top-notch cast, combining senior actors and Indee Young Players. With family friendly prices; all tickets $12, or a family pass for two adults and two children is just $40, it is great school holiday entertainment on the last weekend of September and first weekend of October.

Laugh Out Loud will stay at a very affordable $41 dinner and show, $39

for groups of eight or more. It will open on Friday 29 November.

Dinner show Fridays and Saturdays (29, 30 and Dec 6, 7), with nondining matinees on both Sundays. You can book your groups in now and pay one month before opening.

The Indee will be celebrating its 20th birthday in 2014 and we’re lining up a wonderful range of entertainment. Highlights include the panto, Alice in Wonderland, the June Bronhill Encore Show, the Lux Radio Theatre Weekend, the Super Mother’s Day Concert and the Vicar of Dibley Live.

There’ll also be the staples, including Comedy and Consomme.

The Independent Theatre spent the first year of its life in 1994 operating in Noosa, before starting its long association with Eumundi, opening at the School of Arts in April 1995 with A Man For All Seasons. Since then it’s staged some of the world’s greatest plays, contemporary and classic, with mainly professional directors leading casts of seasoned actors.

It has staged seven home-grown musicals, made up of three repeat sellout seasons (Nancy, Bronhill and Hart), plus the biggest grossing season of all Indee shows, The Firm – the story of JC Williamsons’ Theatres. Not bad for your local little theatre.

Some of the Eumundi contingent at the festival: Trent Harvison, Uschi Schwarz and Patricia Chapman (right).

I

’ve just spent four days at what is probably the best literary/ cultural event I’ve been to since moving to the Coast: the Reality Bites Literary Nonfiction Festival. I rank it higher than the Brisbane Writers’ Festival or the Noosa Long Weekend, both of which I enjoy.

This festival is a powerful combination of technical workshops integrated with panel discussions on topical issues - delivered by leading writers and thinkers. The presenters included names I would never have expected to see together off the beaten cultural track. My favourite workshop was with Mark Dapin (Writing Great Prose-True or Otherwise). The panels I enjoyed most were Destroying the Joint (Anne Summers, Catherine Deveny, Krissy Kneen, Michelle law), Little Tales of Misogyny (Anne Summers, Jeff Sparrow, Tanya Levin) and the festival launch - sponsored by The Eumundi Historical Association with Chris Sarra, founder of the Stronger, Smarter Institute.

Festival program artistic director Melanie Myers said, “We had an idea this year would be good. For the first time we had enough prebookings to ensure the festival would go ahead.”

Melanie said the festival is deliberately accessible for most people in the region and has a relaxed atmosphere with no queues.

Louise Frances, the head of the English department at Noosa District High School, agrees the festival is part of the community, especially for the school. “We are so privileged to have one of Australia’s only non-fiction festivals in Cooroy, held in such a beautiful space, so close to the school.”

Dinner and show is a wallet-friendly $41; eight or more at $39; there are just a few Budget Busters remaining at a low $35 (phone bookings only). The licensed bar will be open at all sessions.

5472 8200 or book online www.eumundilivetheatre.com

To book for shows individually or for groups please contact 5472 8200 go to www.eumundilivetheatre Thursday 8 August 2013

Louise explained the festival gives students access to ideas and an understanding of the bigger world. “We bring the authors to our school to talk to students and we encourage students to take part in festival competitions. It’s a great success,” she said.

The festival has been around since 2008, and yet this year was my first time. How I had missed it? And who to thank for its existence? Annette Hughes is president of the Sunshine Hinterland Writers Centre, the umbrella body formed to ensure the festival’s survival when funding from Creative Noosa was lost after Council amalgamation. She said, “The festival is handmade by volunteers for our own pleasure.”

Annette brought her national literary connections with her when she moved to the hinterland. This unique connectivity between the local and national is what sustains the festival.

Annette said that Reality Bites is now Australia’s premier nonfiction festival. The event has a strong network of volunteers, good local partners, and a beautiful location – now they want to build it to become a major attraction. Annette said, “The potential for local businesses through culture tourism is great. When we posted a list of local B&B’s on Facebook recently for festival accommodation, we received more than 1200 hits.”

Eumundi Arts Sun at the Bun

Paris Williment and Ayla Long, Ignite English, Eumundi State School, year seven

B

usiness people, hairdressers, beauticians and an artist how can this all be combined in the one shop? This is all thanks to two very special sisters!

Born in Dubbo, New South Wales, in 1974, Rene McGovern grew up out in the bush and has always been fascinated by art. Rene’s life can easily be described as a little bit here, a little bit there, with flicking from hairdressing to art. Rene has been an artist for about 14 years, and a hairdresser on and off for about 22 years.

Now, this funky chic, with her sister Lulu (the business one as Rene stated), has made the leap from workshops at the Eumundi Markets, to a full time shop along Memorial Dr. This shop provides the opportunity for a haircut, pampering at the salon and a fabulous art gallery, displaying all of Rene’s artwork. Rene also wishes for the shop to be a place where you can just sit and chat, having a good old time.

“When I was a little kid, I was just really creative all the time, I would write songs, sing musicals on the street. I always did stuff

like making things out of sticks and whatever I could find,” Rene responded to our asking of what things in her life made her want to be an artist. As you can see, Rene was creative from the beginning.

And you can just tell she is funky. You only need a few seconds in her presence to like her instantly. With her sister Lulu so much alike, it is hard to separate the two.

First impressions count - and when you look from the nearby café across the road, you feel drawn to their new business

venture. Ever since the sign first went up, reading The Hairy Bun, people have been curious about the name. Rene laughed and explained, “I actually did choose the name. My sister didn’t like it at first, but she loves it now. It is because of the Old Bakery, and because we’re Greek, so were very hairy and because it’s just funny! When people say it, they wont forget it.”

Rene and Lulu bring laughter, fun and funky art to Eumundi, so we wish them well with their endeavour.

Celebrate Food An easy winter strawberry pudding Recipe: Kylie Orchard, photos: Alain Bouvier I LOVE baking. When I was a kid my mum always allowed me free rein in the kitchen - as long as I cleaned up after myself.

She loved to bake too and having her encourage me to try new things has made me an adventurous baker. Many people are not confident when it comes to adjusting a recipe to make it gluten free, or dairy free, but I say go for it! What’s the worst that can happen? Just enjoy the process and through trial and error you will come up with something delicious.

This is an easy winter strawberry pudding to get you all sharing something warm and yummy together on these colder nights.

You can adjust the fruit as you like; use whatever takes your fancy at the market. Nuts and flour can also be substituted; for a high protein version use a seed based flour (almond meal). I have used local green apples and Eumundi strawberries. My dream is to own a sweet little caravan and travel to festivals and markets sharing home baked goodies…watch this space!

Apple and Strawberry Sponge Pudding Ingredients • 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into wedges • 185g raw sugar • 115g unsalted butter • 2 eggs (free range organic) • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 1½ cups self-raising flour (it can be replaced by another flour type such as spelt or wholemeal) • 1/2 cup milk • 500 g chopped Eumundi strawberries • Cream and toasted chopped almonds to serve

Toss to combine.

Bake for approximately 10 min or until tender.

Meanwhile, make the sponge.

Beat butter and remaining sugar until thick and pale, then beat in eggs, one at a time.

Beat well after each addition.

Sift over the flour then add milk and vanilla.

Fold to combine.

Add the strawberries to the softened apples and stir to combine.

Method Pre-heat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease a 2lcm inch baking dish.

Spoon the sponge mixture over the top of the fruit. Return to the oven. Bake for 35-40 min until the topping is puffed and golden.

Place apples in the dish and add 1/3 of the caster sugar.

Serve with cream and chopped almonds. Yummmm.

Health and Lifestyle Hormone Replacement Therapy

I

t has now been over 10 years since a study released by the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) in the US found Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) not only increased a woman’s risk of breast cancer, but risk of stroke and heart attack as well. Ten years on however, it is now clear that the results were misinterpreted. The study in fact shows HRT is an effective and safe treatment for the relief of menopausal symptoms for many healthy women up to the age of 60.

The “classical use of HRT” (i.e. for relief of menopausal symptoms around the time of a woman’s last menstrual period) is effective and safe. For otherwise healthy women suffering debilitating symptoms around the time of menopause, the benefits of taking HRT significantly outweigh the risks. These benefits include not only relief of menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes and vaginal atrophy, but also improvements in bone strength, and lasting reductions in risks of diabetes, heart disease and various cancers.

When a woman reaches menopause, her hormone production of oestrogen and progesterone decreases due to a decline in her egg numbers.

As a result, some women may experience symptoms such as hot flushes, vaginal dryness, urinary frequency, insomnia and mood swings. Lifestyle, diet and physical activity play an important role in managing symptoms associated with menopause.

However, for many women, lifestyle changes may not help to reduce menopause symptoms and they may require medical or pharmaceutical treatment such as HRT. HRT is medication combining the hormones oestrogen and progestin (synthetic form of progesterone), and sometimes also the hormone testosterone.

HRT is usually prescribed to women to help relieve severe symptoms associated with reduced levels of hormones, particularly oestrogen. HRT can also preserve bone mass and prevent fractures in women with osteoporosis.

The following hormones are used in HRT:

SH: Oestrogen • helps to alleviate symptoms • helps to protect bone, genital tract and possibly the cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels) SH: Progesterone • helps to protect the uterus SH: Testosterone • maintains bone density, muscle strength, energy and libido A range of HRT options exists, some are combined hormone therapies and some are single hormone therapies. Speak to your general practitioner (GP) or pharmacist to learn more about the different types. HRT is usually taken in the form of tablets, skin patches, gels, implants, injections, creams or pessaries (vaginal suppositories).

HRT can only be prescribed by a doctor and requires ongoing supervision and management.

Changes to an initial prescription may be required in the process to find the ideal form and dose.

While HRT can potentially help protect you against certain health conditions such as osteoporosis, it can also sometimes increase your risk of other conditions. It is important to talk to your health practitioner about what these possible risks can be.

Any decision about HRT is an individual one and should be made after talking to your health practitioner about individual benefits, risks, needs and concerns. Generally, HRT is not recommended for women who have any of the following: • history of breast cancer • endometrial cancer • unexplained vaginal bleeding • history of blood clots in the veins • history of, or increased risk of, heart disease or stroke

The Matchbox Show The Matchbox Show is a collection of many 100s of matchbox artworks created since 2010. The aim is to grow this number into an international travelling exhibition of 5000!

The quirky nature of this collection holds appeal on many levels and is an innovative project which showcases artists across genres.

The Matchbox Show intrigues, puzzles and amazes art lovers everywhere it goes.

Curator of this project, Eumundi local Michael Ciavarella, has 20 years experience as a ceramic artist and has been teaching ceramics with Sunshine Coast TAFE for 15 years.

For Michael “it’s a personal quest to keep ceramics being recognised as an artform.”

A selection of the artworks will be on show at Discover Eumundi from Sunday 1 September until late October.

An opening will be held at the Centre on Sunday 1 September at 2pm - rsvp on 5442 8762 or email to manager@discovereumundi.com.

Health and Lifestyle Coast to become solar capital The Sunshine Coast could become the alternative energy capital of coastal Australia with Council set to build a solar farm to meet its electricity needs.

Mayor Mark Jamieson said the Coast would live up to its name by tapping into the energy of the sun to deliver a multi-milliondollar saving for ratepayers. If our market-sounding exercises stack up, we would be the first council to build a solar farm at utility scale in Australia and it will be potentially the largest in the nation.

Mayor Jamieson explained the proposed $24-30m solar farm would be built at Valdora near Coolum. It would meet half of Councils electricity needs for at least the next 30 years. Currently council spends about $11m annually. An investment in the solar farm would also generate $10m for the local economy over the next 10 years and create 40 jobs during construction, he said.

Division 9 and Portfolio Councillor for New and Emerging Industries Stephen Robinson said more would be saved if the project life and output are greater than the initial conservative estimates. Council would also be well placed to leverage investment in the solar farm project by continuing to develop the clean-tech industry hub on the Coast, Cr Robinson said.

Cr Robinson believes the environmental benefits would be substantial as Councils greenhouse gas emissions from electricity usage could drop by about 50 per cent.

In the coming weeks, Council will call for an Expression of Interest to design and build the solar farm. Council is hopeful that a market-sounding exercise will generate significant responses from companies and consortia to enable construction to commence in 2014.

Health Matters 45-49 health assessments – prevention is better than cure Are you between 45-49 years old? You are entitled to a free health assessment funded by the Commonwealth Government. This is an ideal opportunity to have a blood pressure check, ECG (tracing of your heart), blood sugar (detection of diabetes) and lots more.

Wildlife Centre update Matt Popplewell

D

ue to yet another sodden week on the Coast I have turned my focus on the farm from the big picture of house building, garden bed tilling and chook poo spreading, to a much smaller scale farming practice. This week it has been all about micro-greens.

Micro-greens are pretty much as the name suggests - micro and green. It’s really just an indoor way to garden and bring some extra nutrients to your plate.

There are many varieties of seeds you can use on your micro-green “farm” and most of the popular salad greens you would normally grow outside do well in this environment. For this particular planting I have used both a commercial organic “microgreen” packet mix and some cress seeds I had in my personal seed bank.

The kids enjoyed helping to prepare the beds (a couple of old plastic raspberry containers one inside the other and an egg carton in a tray) which we filled with potting mix. We then sprinkled the seeds over the soil, followed by another thin layer of potting mix and filled the bottom tray with water. Each day the seeds can either be watered with the gentle mist from a water sprayer, or kept moist by keeping the bottom tray topped up.

Our ‘farm’ sat on a sunny(ish) window sill during daylight hours and because of the continued grey skies, I popped them under a lamp in the evening. Within a couple of days we noticed little green shoots rising out of the dirt and within a week we were harvesting our first garnish (this process can be made slightly quicker by soaking the seeds for around six hours first). When the seedlings have between two and four leaves you can snip them off around ground level with scissors and wash and eat as you would your regular salad leaves.

Most greens at this stage are quite nutrient dense and flavourful as their water content is not spreading this out into a bigger leaf surface. Although many varieties of seed can only be harvested once, there are a few that you can cut and reuse.

Once your seeds are spent, you can just pop them into the compost and start again.

s spring advances and the birdcall decibels crank up, it is timely to remember that we share our houses and gardens with all creatures great and small.

But we must once again become aware that we share our homes and gardens with all creatures great and small. Fruit bats descend close to the ground when flying between food trees and often this means manoeuvring over barbed wire fences. Fruit bats, unlike insectivorous bats, do not use echo-location to find prey or obstacles but rely solely on vision and cannot recognise the danger barbed wire poses them. When a bat inadvertently hits a strand of barbed wire, the barbs tear into and stretch the wing membrane so that the bat can’t simply pull itself free. Unfortunately most bats in this situation panic and flap wildly which of course worsens the situation. They also bite the wire in fear and frustration - damaging their mouths.

In the last fortnight we have visited and taken a pair of these creatures off barbed wire close to home. What is frustrating is that often these fences are serving no purpose anymore following sub-division or simply

on an old cattle property that no longer houses animals. We tend to put these dismantling jobs on the “to-do” pile. We ask you to consider the implication on wildlife in general - not just bats.

It’s not a pleasant job dismantling an old barbed fence, but neither is freeing a trapped animal. Let’s add fences to our list of spring cleaning jobs. It could just save a life or two!

Over all I would say that our first attempt at micro-gardening was a success. I learnt that if you want to make micro-greens a substantial part of your daily meals, it would be wise to stagger your crops to keep yourself in consistent supply, and plant more than 40 square centimetres of “farmland” at any one time!

Nature Notes Eastern Spinebills Kon Hepers

A

t the beginning of winter, right on cue, we hear a persistent monotone piping bird-call but it’s no use looking where the call seems to be originating.

We recognise it as the Eastern Spinebill, Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris, literally meaning slenderbilled spinebill, whose call is so

ventriloquistic that it could be coming from anywhere in a 360 degree radius. We are especially glad to hear and see this bird because it has been missing for the last two years but was a regular visitor until then.

Eastern Spinebills (the Western ones in southern WA are slightly different but enough so to be classed as a separate species) are one of the brigade of honeyeaters that turn up this time of year when our Calliandra, Calliandra haematocephalus, bush is in full flower. With the exception of the male Scarlet Honeyeater they are the most colourful of the nectar-feeders and their long, slender and curved beak is the ideal tool for accessing nectar

in tubular and other blossoms.

Eastern Spinebills also have an advantage over the other birds: while feeding they have the ability to hover like hummingbirds above and underneath the hard to reach flowers, with their wings making a distinct whirring sound. This ability to hover and the long, curved beak had them initially classed with the Sunbirds (Nectarinia Spp) but the shape of the tongue definitely puts them in the Honeyeater group.

As they make short darting flights from bush to bush their wings make a loud and distinct ffrrrp sound.

Their nesting season extends from August to March and every year we hope that they will stay

until then but by the end of July they have gone. Their range extends right down the east coast of the continent round into SA and includes Tasmania.

The Eastern Spinebills preferred habitat is heathland and drier forests but includes shrubby gardens with plenty of nectar-bearing blossoms such as Grevillea, Bottlebrush, Calliandra and other native and exotic plants.

Note: Just like authors of bird books we find it difficult to describe a birds song phonetically. In several books the WA Chiming Wedgebills call is described as why did you get drunk? It actually sounds nothing like that.

to their camp at dawn (gee that sounds like the young folk of today). Food comprises green grasses and seeds. These ducks also upend and dabble for aquatic vegetation. I know of several people who regularly feed grain to these ducks and they must be a colourful addition to their farms and properties. Please never feed bread to these or other animals as the yeast can cause digestive upsets, not to mention the lack of nutrients. Whistling-ducks lay up to a dozen white eggs in a nest on the ground but I am sure predation by foxes is an issue. It is the wing feathers on these ducks that make the familiar whistling sound one can hear as they pass overhead.

There is something dramatic about these particular ducks that make them look like they have been extras in a 1930’s play or film. The extravagant wing feathers have all the markings of an eccentric costume designer

who has had a rush of blood and attached surplus feathers to the wings for extra effect. I mentioned to Kon Hepers that I was going to do a Nature Note article on these ducks, and he said that he had taken a photo of a line-up of these ducks. His accompanying photo proves my point. It looks like the ducks are about to do a swan dive – er, duck dive on the black duck that is swimming past. Perhaps they are left-overs from an Esther Williams movie?

Whistling Ducks Helen Hepburn

I

have always loved waterfowl.

Some have colourful plumage, whilst at first glance, others can seem rather drab. But look closely; at close range many have feathers that catch the sun at certain angles, or their feathers are arranged in a way that makes them so very interesting. One of the most stunning of our native ducks is the Plumed Whistlingduck Dendrocygna eytoni. This duck is quite common in a broad

sweep of Australia from Victoria, through NSW, most of Qld and across the Top End. They live near farm dams, lagoons, and wetland areas.

There is another duck in this family called the Wandering Whistling-duck which is quite similar in colouration, but does not have the same range. These ducks are found in pairs or flocks and usually have a day camp and fly out to forage at dusk, returning

Gardening Celosia Annie Wilson

C

elosia is a small genus of edible and ornamental plants in the Amaranth family.

Its name is derived from the Greek word kelos, meaning “burned”, and refers to the flame-like flower heads.

Species are commonly known as woolflowers or cockscombs.

The plants are well known in East Africa’s highlands under their Swahili name, Mfungu. The pretty shrub grows really well here, and readily reproduces by means of its abundant seeds.

Cultivation Celosia has been described as a vegetable that grows like a weed, not demanding the tender loving care that other vegetables seem to need.

Celosia, though a very simple plant, does need moderate soil moisture. Despite its African origin, celosia is known as a foodstuff in Indonesia and India.

It grows well in humid areas and is the most-used leafy plant in Nigeria. It grows in the wet season and continues to thrive while other plants succumb to mould and other diseases like mildew. It has the potential

to become more widely propagated, especially in the hot and malnourished regions of the equatorial zone.

As food Celosia argentea var. argentea

or Lagos Spinach is a broadleaf annual leaf vegetable. It grows well in tropical and sub-tropical zones and is cultivated as a nutritious leafy green vegetable.

It is traditional fare in the countries of Central and West Africa. The leaves, young stems and young inflorescences are used for stew, as they soften readily in cooking. The leaves also have a soft texture and a mild spinach-like taste. They are often combined with such things as hot pepper, garlic, fresh lime, and red palm oil and eaten as a side dish.

Medicinal Celosia can be used as a treatment for intestinal worms, blood diseases, mouth sores, and eye problems. The seeds treat chest complaints and the flowers treat diarrhoea. The leaves are used as dressings for boils and sores, and the boiled vegetables are said to be slightly diuretic.

Eumundi Arena in Dick Caplick park Hear ye! Hear ye! All the park users of Eumundi and local community!

Recently I have been talking with locals and visitors that use Dick Caplick park. The park is bustling during market days with people playing ball games and performing artists. Dick Caplick park is probably the most frequented outdoor hub in Eumundi and is in need of rejuvenation. A creative town like Eumundi has an opportunity to proudly present the town centre in a creative and unique way.

Recent brainstorming and liaising with park users and artists has inspired an idea of an outdoor Arena for local recreation, sports games and performing artists.

The general design is a large circle of timber poles that commemorate Dick Caplick and local tree fellers of the past.

Carved into six, taller timber poles are native Eumundi animals and the smaller poles have animated faces carved on them, slightly elevated base of decomposed granite for good drainage and stone wall seating encircling the arena with hardy

As a garden plant Celosia is a common garden ornamental plant in China and other places. Depending on the location and fertility of the soil, it bears pink and white, featherlike blossoms that can last 8–10 weeks. Seed production in these species can be very high, 200–700 kg per hectare, with one kilogram of seed containing up to 1.5 million seeds, so care is needed to prevent spreading.

garden plants incorporated into the design. The Arena design would be an original garden feature with unique Eumundi flavours that can be used as an interactive art instalment that also acts as a circular stage for performers. The arena hosts a game called “oDD Ball” a game similar to soccer only there are three goals and three teams, the game encourages players to think laterally. A sign with some suggested games would accompany the arena, listing original games such as “oDD Ball” and another original game called “Stykball” a ball balancing game often seen played around the park.

I’m interested in your feedback regarding the Arena design for the rejuvenation of Dick Caplick park and any ball games that could be played in the arena.

Over the next couple of months the Green will be looking for photos of forgotten pockets of our hinterland. An old shed, a bath tub in a field, a tumble down building, a place perhaps forgotten, but not gone. It might be an old rusty shed that catches the afternoon sun? Or remnants of a building that nature has hidden and reclaimed.

Eumundi abroad The Eden Project, St Austell, Cornwall Analiese Long

A

s a family we have had the good fortune to travel to many places around the world.

One of our favourite destinations is Cornwall in England’s southwest. A new and important part of recent Cornish history is the transformation of a disused clay quarry into the fantastic Eden Project at St Austell. Not only a beautiful tourist destination it is also an educational charity, funding new hope in various locations around the world and teaching sustainability.

Immense bubble-like biomes house two different eco-systems.

Named for their climates, the Mediterranean Biome and the Rainforest Biome are a major reason we have made the effort to visit. The latter boasts the world’s largest rainforest in

captivity. We brave the heat and climb the aerial walkway to look down over the canopy and realise that primary forest the size of this biome (15,500m square) is destroyed every 10 seconds around the world. The second, dryer biome is full of Bacchanalian sculptures dancing through the grapevines, twisted cork trees and our very own storyteller, Dave, who delights us all with magical tales of the area.

Outside there is so much more to see. The project has followed at least some of the shape of the quarry, and the terraces are the basis for beautiful gardens.

Magnificent sculptures made out of living plants, scrap metal and recycled junk, punctuate the rows of vegetables and fragrant herbs.

Humming with activity, the Eden

Project is one of our inspirations at home as we try to become more self sufficient and work on reducing our own environmental

impact. Such an amazing venture leads to the question of what we can achieve here with our own disused quarries.
