Lest we forget

COL Greg Molyneux addressing the children The Anzac Day services this year were a fitting tribute to the men and women who have served and too often made the ultimate sacrifice, in order to keep Australia and New Zealand safe, and give us the opportunity to live a free, democratic and abundant life. An emotional service for Eumundi State School captured the hearts of everyone there. COL Greg Molyneux, CSC (Retd) addressed the students and parents, and dressed in military uniform, created a strong sense of connection between our shared history and this year’s remembrance. He first explained the history and meaning of Anzac Day, then the meaning to him in his life now, issuing a challenge to everyone to live the

Anzac spirit in their daily lives. The choir, and school’s captains and vice captains who ran the event were inspirational, with each class laying a wreath at McIntyre’s memorial tree. North Arm State School also venerated our fallen, with tributes to men and women of all services, in local and international fields of conflict. The all-of-school Anzac Day assembly at North Arm School featured special guest Aaron Caldwell WW2, plus Mr Dan Purdie MP, Member for Ninderry, North Arm Principal Josh Scott and the school captains. On Sunday 25 April the Dawn Service at the Verrierdale Hall established a sense Cont. p3

Cont. from p1 of deep appreciation for the opportunity to once again be able to reflect on what Anzac Day means to us, after the cancellation of last year’s events. The service was followed by breakfast and the opportunity to mix with the community. There was a soul searching address by Air Marshall Geoff Sheppard. A large crowd gathered for the YandinaEumundi RSL service at the Yandina Cenotaph, with the Mount Catafalque Party taking up their guard positions. There was strong representation from distinguished guests including guest speaker veteran Anthony Moorhouse, and the Sunshine Coast Caledonian Pipes and Drums. Several community organisations laid wreaths. The Doo Woop Dolls led the singing of the New Zealand and Australian national anthems. Students from Yandina and North Arm State Schools, and Yandina Scouts made presentations in the service. Victor Flatt again volunteered his bugle service. At the Eumundi Amphitheatre, a morning service organised by the Eumundi & District Historical Assn saw the grassy slopes filled with hundreds of people, many in family groups, who came to pay tribute to the men and women who have served over the years. The Noosa Pipe Band and Noosa Chorale set the scene for the laying of wreaths by elected officials, community groups and individuals. The poignant listing of the names of the Eumundi fallen with the ringing of a distant bell, and the reading of In Flanders Fields, contributed to the feelings of reflection and gratitude that were obvious amongst those who attended.

Supermoon 26 May The recent supermoon got cameras clicking, and Australia will have another this month on 26 May in Australia, with an eclipse as well. A supermoon is when the moon is closer to Earth and appears larger, especially when viewed as it shows above the horizon. This one will change colour as it passes through the Earth’s shadow: “The red tinge is caused by sunlight that is filtered and refracted as it passes through our atmosphere” (ABC).

Some of the first birthday attendees

Harvest Swap first birthday It started as an idea in February 2020 to form a Harvest Swap group after Terri Waller from Sevgen invited the Harvest Swap Sunshine Coast group to have a swap near Deadly Espresso Cafe in Eumundi. We were limited by Covid19 rules, so we set up a small organising group on Facebook, used Zoom and worked out how we could safely have a swap with social distancing. Our FB group expanded. Members posted asking for gardening advice, shared recipes, showed off their garden produce and many met contactfree to swap plants. One of my first swaps was done by leaving a Ceylon spinach plant at my letterbox, which the recipient replaced with lemongrass. Member numbers grew online to around 100 members—currently we have almost 400. That first meet up was in June 2020 and we have met on nearly every last Thursday of each month since. Our first birthday celebrations were a fabulous social get together, strengthening ties and creating great enthusiasm in the group to continue and see it grow. Thank you to local businesses and members who donated lucky door prizes. All are welcome to join in either online or at our meetups. Next swap will be on Thursday 27 May.

CWA volunteers for International Women’s Day

National Volunteers Week 17-23 May Why volunteer? People choose to volunteer for a variety of reasons. For some it offers the chance to give something back to the community or make a difference to the people around them. For others it provides an opportunity to develop new skills or build on existing experience and knowledge. This year’s 17-23 May National Volunteer Week celebration’s theme is ‘Recognise, Reconnect and Reimagine’. During the week, we recognise and thank volunteers for the vital role they play in our communities. We celebrate those who give their time to connect with others, and to causes they value. The week also encourages us to reimagine how we can better support volunteer organisations to continue their invaluable work. Volunteering gives you an opportunity to change people’s lives, including your own. People who volunteer say it gives them the satisfaction of playing a role in someone else’s life, giving back to the community while developing important social skills and gaining valuable work experience. Volunteering Australia–the National peak body working to advance volunteering in Australia– provides some interesting information:

Volunteers camaraderie 8

• Australia’s definition of volunteering is “time willingly given for the common good and without financial gain.” • Across Australia it is estimated 6 million people volunteer through some organisation each year. • Men and women volunteer at similar rates. • People aged 40-54 years are more likely to volunteer than any other age group, however those that volunteered for welfare or community related work were mostly over 65 years. • The most common areas were sport and recreation, religious groups and education and training. • The estimated value of volunteer work in notfor-profit organisations is billions of dollars. • Rural areas and small towns have a higher percentage of volunteering than main centres. • In a year of lockdowns, social distancing and working from home, two out of three volunteers stopped volunteering.

Rotary Club BBQ for SCC Placemaking Remember to recognise volunteers and make a connection with a ‘thank you’ morning tea or special event. Make a card or send an email. Reimagine how you can support your volunteers to maintain their efforts and feel rewarded for their contributions.

John Cochrane checks the herd

Kenilworth Dairies Eumundi Chamber business breakfast The Eumundi Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting on April 30 hosted guest speaker Paul Garcia who explained the “voice of Qld business” is the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIQ) an alliance established in the 1850s. Paul surprised some with the fact that 97% of businesses in Qld are solo or small business, with 115 geographically located chambers in Qld. Increasing concern by small business about red tape, time-consuming funding applications and issues such as water, electricity and waste costs and compliances has meant the CCIQ has, through its quarterly Pulse Survey, been able to pressure local and state governments to address these concerns. The most recent survey received 3000 responses. See www.cciq.com. au/assets/2020-December-Qtr.-Pulse/PulseSunshineCoast-Dec20.pdf. Local business owners at the meeting shared new developments: tours at Big Heart Bamboo, plastic-free Noosa Tourism, Katie Rose Cottage Hospice fundraiser videos, music festivals at the Bohemian Bungalow, and Experience Eumundi celebrating that our town is a finalist in Small Tourism Towns Awards. Cindy Suters, Vice-President, explained that the Eumundi Chamber helped local businesses “make valuable connections with members and guests, as well as gain information of benefit to you and your business. “ The next meeting is an evening function for the AGM Wednesday 26 May.

Kenilworth Dairies has managed to survive the Covid19 impact and even expand. The Cochrane family are proud to have a new bottling plant which will enable them to add homogenised milk to their list of products. Supported by a co-contribution Rural Economic Development Grant, Kenilworth Dairies has diversified and become a fully independent dairy provider. Each day the plant processes 12,000 litres of milk from the family farm. The family are proud that once the milk “goes over the grid” it goes to the dairy where all processing and value adding is completed before it is transported directly to stores. They became the new owners in June 2017 and now employ over 50 staff in a town with a population of 600. The café features a tasting plate and samples of the range of products. The dairy has a long history in the area from the 1950s and boasts six generations of cheese making. However, the decline of dairy farming in Queensland is alarming. In 1972 Kin Kin had 72 dairy farms, today there are none. Numbers in Queensland have dropped by 83% since deregulation in 2000. Queenslanders are preferring to support locallysourced dairy products. Milk, cheeses, and yoghurt are available at IGA Cooroy, Pomona and Noosa Junction. See www.kenilworthdairies. com.au/.

Schools

The new canteen External view of the new building

Eumundi State School open day Eumundi State School’s impressive new building was the drawcard for an Open Day on 29 April. Principal Mick Connors welcomed parents of current and future students. The school choir delighted everyone with a song, then Year 6 guides escorted over 50 guests on a walk through to see the learning centres and facilities, including the new canteen, teachers’ room and performing arts room.

The buildings have given students and staff wonderfully large light-filled rooms with very pleasant outlooks and all weather practicality. It has meant the majority of the old demountable buildings can be removed. For future growth, there is room for another two classrooms to be built. Currently, 650 children attend the school in 28 classes. In 2022 it is estimated there will be 90100 new preps with 22-25 children in each class. The school encourages all students to do their best in maths and English. It offers a STEM programme. Various extra-curricular activities

Classroom 3H teachers Louise Hobson and Kaitlyn Goodall include the Enviro area where students learn to grow, harvest and cook their produce, with eggs from the resident ‘chooks’.

Sunshine Sounds Festival The inaugural Sunshine Sounds Festival was a outstanding new event that put Eumundi even more firmly on the live music map. Rain failed to dampen the spirits of the crowd who delighted in the quality and range of the 21 acts who performed last weekend at the Eumundi Showgrounds. A highlight on Saturday was Andrea Kirwin who performed with the Yama Nui Social Club and launched her new album ‘Bloom’. Georgia Corowa and Kate Miller-Heidke were also top

Georgia Corowa class, with performances that kept the crowd entranced. Artistic director, producer and musician for Sunshine Sounds Festival Katie Noonan took to the stage on Sunday (her birthday) and was thrilled at the success of the event. “Despite the somewhat challenging weather, our amazing team delivered a sensational community event,” Katie said. “It’s so great to give Queensland artists the chance to perform live again, and for our community to come together for a familyfriendly festival.”

The endangered Richmond Birdwing butterfly is a rare visitor. I have only seen three. It was hard to get a good photo because it never stayed still for long. I am ten and I’ve lived in Eumundi all my life. I’ve had a Canon Powershot camera for 3 years and love nature photos. I was very excited to get the camera—after looking up to my older brother taking photos for many years.”

effects of malaria by supporting research into a vaccine. The Malaria Vaccine Project was officially launched by the Governor-General, Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (Retd).

World malaria awareness Rotary has joined in this fight against malaria. The project ‘Rotarians Against Malaria’ (RAM) is a volunteer-run organisation working to eliminate malaria. The primary focus of RAM has been the distribution of insecticide-treated mosquito nets to vulnerable areas in Papua New Guinea, the Solomons and Timor Leste. RAM has raised more than $1.6 million and is working with other international organisations in this fight against the deadly disease. As we pause to remember those who died in war on Anzac Day, spare a thought for the nearly 40 million who have died since the end of WWII from malaria. Two thirds of these deaths are children under five years, with one child dying every two minutes. There are approximately 3.2 billion people currently living in malariaendemic countries worldwide. With climate change, it is feared these areas will expand. Anyone who has travelled to malaria-affected regions knows that for the best chance of protection, you must take preventative medicine for periods before, during and after your trip. This medicine aims to kill the parasite transmitted by the female Anopheles mosquito when it bites to extract the blood protein needed to make eggs. This short-term protection is not an option for those living in malaria regions. Much has been done to reduce the risks including elimination of breeding grounds, distribution of long-lasting treated bed nets and surface insecticides, provision of diagnostic equipment and continuous research. Rotary has been very effective in almost eradicating polio throughout the world, and now it is turning its efforts to the devastating 18

The project aims to raise $500,000 to get research to the next stage—through Rotary fundraising. Speaking at the Institute for Glycomics at Griffith University, Sir Peter said the work represented Australian science and innovation at its very best, adding, “This is what will make a difference, a better world and save lives. It is being done in our corner of the world, for the world”. Researchers Prof Michael Good and Dr Danielle Stanisic first started clinical trials in 2013, working with medical staff at Gold Coast University Hospital. More funding is now essential to move to the next stage. For more information and ways to help, see www.ram.rawcs.com. RAM is an activity of Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS). Donations from individuals and companies are tax deductible. Donations for the Malaria Project can be made to the Eumundi Rotary Club through treasurer Les at les@ davidsondem.com.au. We may be a small town…but we can reach out to the world through our Rotary connections.

Nambour public places revamp Eumundi’s larger town sister has been given approval from Sunshine Coast Council for a public space revamp at the Eddie De Vere building. Cr David Law says council will transform the forecourt, creating a more user-friendly space by introducing more shade, art and infrastructure. The refurbishment is scheduled for completion by mid-2021. The plan incorporates a large mural by Sunshine Coast artist Alison Mooney. She intends to

integrate local fauna, including Nambour’s namesake the Namba Tree into the rainforest mural. Additional shaded dining areas and a central open lawn area with integrated seating, a games area and festoon lighting over green nooks are also part of the forecourt revamp.

The Aikido group with Sensei Chicko (centre)

Don’t disturb these Dans While most people head for Eumundi markets at 8.30am on Saturday mornings, a group of champions at the top of their sport gather at the old Scout Hut in Memorial Dr. Although most are senior citizens, no-one dares stop them. Led by Eumundi’s Chicko Xerri, a 6th Dan in the Japanese Martial Art of Aikido, while everyone is no longer competing against others, they

stay fit by performing the flowing, sharp, quick movements symbolising the original sword expertise of ancient Japanese battlegrounds. Chicko explains that Aikido “creates unity without conflict” and is a social activity suitable for women and men of all physiques. It doesn’t require physical strength. Teresa, Shannon and Kate proudly display their skills alongside the men. There’s no age barrier, as Joe in his late 70s demonstrates. Chicko is a senior instructor within Aikido Kenkykai International Network and Head of Dudoshin Dojos Australia.

Fay Wiggins welcoming local Tony Sievers to the Verrierdale Anzac Day dawn service

An Anzac Day stalwart Fay Wiggins has been the dedicated volunteer caretaker of the Verrierdale Hall for 20 years. This has included tasks such as hall hire, tennis bookings, membership and garden maintenance, a passion of Fay’s to “keep things looking good”. A highlight of the hall’s calendar is the Verrierdale community’s Anzac Day commemoration. Fay and the committee of the hall were delighted to welcome a big crowd for the dawn service including Tracey Gilmartin, secretary of YandinaEumundi RSL. Whilst Covid19 restrictions meant the traditional breakfast had to be curtailed, many locals and visitors made the most of the catch-up after the service.

Arts and media Book review Amnesty is the new novel by Aravind Adiga who also wrote the Booker prize-winning novel The White Tiger. Amnesty reveals Danny’s dilemmas as an illegal immigrant in Sydney. Having escaped war-torn, tsunamiravaged Sri Lanka to enrol in a ‘rip-off’ English college, Danny has dropped out to work as a cleaner. His refugee application was rejected because he came on a plane as a student rather than being smuggled into Australia on a boat. When one of his employers is killed by another, he is trapped. If he speaks out for justice and reports her murder to police, he breaks his cover and is deported. If he stays silent and invisible, he protects himself, his job, his new security. What to do?

Amnesty shows up the contradictions in Australia’s current approach to immigration and refugees. It reveals the impossibility of truly understanding Danny—the outsider’s— insightful and at times humorous perspective, and the limits of our national commitment to multiculturalism and “a fair go for everyone”.

Noosa Arts Theatre’s 50 years Noosa Arts Theatre’s (NAT) 50th anniversary year started with the sell-out Mamma Mia. The National One Act Play Festival is in May followed by David Williamson’s Up for Grabs, Shorts on Stage, Pygmalion and Encore featuring great moments from 50 years of NAT’s favourite musicals. The NAT began in 1971 with two skits performed on the back of a truck at the Scouts’ Den, Noosaville for a Rotary Club’s New Year’s Eve function. Then came early days of performances in the $500 tin shed on rented AFL grounds. Members brought egg cartons for soundproofing and purchased named director chairs at $10 each for audience seating. A tiny Green Room and two toilets, shared with patrons, did double-duty as dressing rooms. Musicals and pantos meant a tent and portaloos in the car park. Building Fund donations, social events and support from businesses saw NAT officially opened in 1976. Comfortable chairs finally came

Bookings have opened for the next production of one-act plays, with a cut-price Preview Night 20 May. Instigated by Val Warren in 1979, the One Act Playwriting Competition encourages local playwrights. Over 70 entries arrive annually from around the world, vying for the Nimmo prizes of $5000, $3000 and $1000. This year’s three finalists are from Australia and New Zealand. The Truth About Camping by Gavin Critchley, directed by John McMahon, presents a family camping holiday where no-one is excited except Mum. Natalie Burns’ Embers directed by Sue Clapham, concerns a small township trapped in the Australian bushfires. Carol’s Christmas by Richard Harris, directed by Jacqui Mata Luque, reveals secrets at a family Christmas reunion.

to indulge the greed and lust of the art world. David said Madonna “demanded rewrites that she assumed would suit her character. I either did them or the play didn’t go on. I think the Australian version of the play was probably better”. See noosaartstheatre.org.au for production dates, bookings, information. Eileen Walder (Noosa Arts Theatre life member)

With music stands in position, folders open and instruments at the ready, the familiar sounds of tuning up led by Principal Violin, Genevieve Bignell, filled the air. And immediately, the rehearsal space vibrated with the Sharks Theme from Jaws under the frisky baton of conductor Adrian King. Genevieve remarked that it was a relief to have everyone playing together again; the strings had met previously but missed the colour and texture provided by woodwind, brass and percussion. What had musicians been doing during the enforced break? “Practising, naturally, but the collegiality of playing in an orchestra with its sense of purpose and fun, had been lost,” said Simon Eastwood, President and Principal Viola player.

SCSO tutti The air was buzzing when players of the Sunshine Coast Symphony Orchestra (SCSO) met this month for their first whole orchestra rehearsal since the March 2020 shut down.

Players in the SCSO come from Gympie to Cooroy, Doonan and Yandina, down to the southern reaches of the coast. SCSO’s upcoming concert ‘Symphony by the Sea’ is in Coolum on May 8th. See sunshinecoastsymphonyorchestra.com.

Sunshine Coast Council in partnership with Biosecurity Queensland is supporting a community-based coordinated Wild Dog Baiting Program. Failure to control wild dogs can result in livestock losses, attacks on domestic pets and the loss of native fauna. Landholders have a legislative responsibility to control declared pests on their land and participation in this program is an effective way to help meet this responsibility. The Wild Dog Baiting Program will be held throughout

Students sorting

Trash heroes Covid19 struck Bali extremely hard with no tourism, and schools and businesses closed. Many people were forced to move to family farms to survive. However one group of children continued each weekend to restore the beauty of this ‘island of the gods’. Samuh Tunas Harapan means ‘little growing shoots of Samuh Village’, a volunteer school in 26

Using the new pick-up tongs Candidasa, a popular tourist centre in South East Bali. Started by Wayan Smiley it teaches Bahasa, English, Maths and Cultural Dance to the children and also encourages them to be Trash Heroes cleaning up and recycling tonnes of rubbish left by locals, tourists and passing ships. A donation of pick-up tongs from Eumundi Rotary brought squeals of excitement last year when I visited to see the finished recycling shed. In 2008, Smiley’s exuberance inspired me to begin Boots for Bali—helping impoverished children with basic education and sport. Led by Budi Cadas, the team of Smiley, the children, parents and occasional tourists, removed the rubbish, sorted out recyclable material and weighed it at the school. The children earned points for their recyclables. These are added to their school achievement points and they receive small prizes and their Trash Hero T-shirt at the end of the year. The trash is taken to Denpasar and money received helps support this volunteer school. Smiley and Budi visit other schools and villages showing the importance of recycling and reusing plastics and glass. Smiley’s café uses containers made from recyclables. Bottles form a wall and Christmas tree at the school. Trash Heroes has spread to other parts of Bali. In 2019 the Indonesian Government rewarded Smiley, Budi and their team for their dedication and inspiration to future generations. Boots for Bali is based in Eumundi and is proud to help these amazing people who continue their work despite poverty and Covid19’s cruel blow. Eileen Walder, www.facebook.com/bootsforbali/

Council is liaising with local funeral directors who will play an integral role by ensuring the natural burial offering meets the community’s needs. A natural burial is a resting place generally in a bushland or an area being regenerated through native planting, where no toxic materials are used or interred, including the coffin. Often a communal memorial is placed adjacent to the natural burial area to provide an opportunity for loved ones to memorialise an individual laid to rest in the area.

The future of funerals During community consultation for Sunshine Coast Council’s (SCC) Cemetery Plan in 2019, many people expressed their desire for greater choice and access to practices that better aligned with their values and beliefs. This included natural burial.

Natural burial instead of cremation is a choice for people to make a smaller footprint on nature, in their final farewell for a person. It is the essence of being returned to nature in the most simple form possible and with the least ecological impact.

Currently in Queensland a growing number of councils are opting to offer ‘green’, ‘bush’ or ‘eco’ burials with support from regions like Ipswich and the Gold Coast. Recently SCC announced that it hopes to introduce the natural burials by the end of the year and is looking at possible sites within existing cemeteries.

Eumundi Museum conservation report When the Eumundi Museum reopens, it will be the only museum on the Sunshine Coast to be climate-controlled, maintaining a constant temperature and humidity. The museum will also have a storage room for the objects and documents not on display. A wealth of preservation and conservation work will have been completed by the conservator Melanie Fihelly. Preservation is the ongoing care of a collection, minimising deterioration and future damage to objects. Conservation is more directly handson, aiming to preserve the current condition or restore objects such as Eumundi’s treasured World War I honour board. Preservation and conservation are important tasks for all museums and galleries. Otherwise objects and artworks may fall apart, rust away, become covered in mould, be eaten by insects or ‘restored’ incorrectly. The climate-control environment at the Eumundi Museum will significantly help preserve its collection. Blocking out sunlight will also help preserve the collection. Pest infestation, mostly insect, will need to be constantly monitored. A qualified conservator should be routinely engaged to assist and train the museum’s staff and volunteers. The Eumundi Museum is proudly operated for the community by Eumundi and District Historical Association. Joe Hextall, Curator, Eumundi Museum 28

Hit the spot early On a recent Sunday Banjo the Labrador had a hot spot the size of a 20 cent coin on his neck so we removed his collar and treated the spot with an antiseptic wash. By Monday the patch had spread around his neck, was moist, inflamed and looked terribly itchy and sore. We could not stop him scratching it because a cone of shame was impossible. On Tuesday when we visited the vet, the patch had spread further under his fur and after shaving him the vet diagnosed a nasty case of staphylococcal (Staph) infection. Result: one very woebegone dog with an extensive bald patch, and one remorseful owner. Hot spots are a common occurrence in dogs and have multiple causes including food allergy or poor grooming. They spread rapidly, especially when aggravated by biting or scratching, and antibiotics are often needed to cure them. Banjo is smiling again and his fur is growing back, but the moral of this story is: Hit the hot spot early. Visit the vet. A Eumundi Voice reader

Data collection blues A reader in Western Australia shared with Eumundi Voice about a recently downloaded ebook from her local library. She was rather taken-aback to receive an sms, outlining her reading habits. She did not ask for the information. Data collection is apparently happening even with the books we are slow at reading.

Malaria quiz: answers A1 Not a bacteria, not a virus, but a single-celled protozoa called Plasmodium. There are five species of this parasite such as P. falciparum and P. vivax. A2 No. Malaria was eradicated from Australia in 1981 and was certified malaria-free by the World Health Organization in 1983, but the region of northern Australia above 19°S lat remains receptive to malaria transmission. A3 Through a mosquito bite. When an Anopheles (an-off-ee-lees) mosquito bites a person already infected with malaria, a small amount of blood is taken in which contains microscopic malaria parasites. Female mosquitoes take blood meals for egg production, and these blood meals are the link between the human and the mosquito hosts in the parasite life cycle. In a small number of cases each year, malaria is also transmitted through infected blood transfusions. A4 Malaria infection starts with fever, chills and headache. If not treated quickly it can develop to anaemia, hypoglycaemia or cerebral malaria, in which capillaries carrying blood to the brain are blocked. Cerebral malaria can cause coma, lifelong-learning disabilities, and death. A5 More than 400,000 people annually. In 2017 there were 219 million cases of malaria worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. Immunity rarely occurs naturally and the search for a vaccine has had limited success. A6 Anopheles mosquitoes that carry malaria were present 100 million years ago even on Gondwanaland and there is evidence they bit dinosaurs. A7 Malaria derives from Italian for ‘bad air’ because mal’aria was associated with marshes and swamps. A8 Cinchona bark contains quinine, used to treat malaria from the 1600s. Pills such as doxycycline, malarone and mefloquine. Also artemisininbased combination therapy (artesunate). A9 Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has donated billions of dollars to fight malaria.
