LOCAL ISSUES

report it is now likely conditional approval will be issued,” said Yandina and District Community Association (YADCA) President Marie Reeve.

Snap Send Solve

Have you spotted an issue in or around town that needs to be fixed such as graffiti, illegal parking, dumped rubbish, trip hazards, potholes or damaged footpaths? Snap Send Solve is a free app that simplifies the reporting of community issues to your local council.

Once downloaded if you spot something that needs addressing all you need to do is press the snap button and it will log a report with your local council in a few simple steps. Visit: snapsendsolve.com/about.

“The location of the proposed service station is in the very heart of a character area with a pedestrian focus and the difficulty of safely manoeuvring a fuel tanker in and out of the site were reasons for widespread community concern when the development application was lodged with council.”

Council initially requested "revisions to the traffic report demonstrating that a fuel delivery vehicle can safely and conveniently enter and exit the site from Farrell St and/or Stevens St without requiring the use of any residential streets and with minimal impact on existing onstreet parking and streetscape treatments".

Yandina service station approval may be imminent

Since January 2021 Yandina residents have been living with the prospect of a new service station development at the Farrell St/Stevens St intersection. The development application was initially refused by council however the developer, Pearl Investments, has appealed the decision in the Planning and Environment Court.

“Negotiations between experts appointed by council and the developer appear to be approaching a reluctant agreement despite the possibility of fuel tankers being re-routed along narrow suburban streets and past a childcare centre. The planned layout and design have been substantially altered and council sources

Business Yandina President Bill Gissane also strongly opposes the development. “It is not good for business and it is not good for the community. The town's character and the community's safety and amenity should not be disregarded in favour of an ill-conceived development application – even one that is tweaked and groomed to appear to barely meet the irreducible minimum standards set out in the Planning Scheme. The proposed site is a premium vacant block in the town centre and there are undoubtedly many other developments – with actual active frontages on Stevens St and Farrell St – that would enrich and enhance Yandina’s character as the oldest hinterland town rather than diminishing it.”

EASTER

Happy Easter chocoholics!

The Australian economy hasn’t diminished our Easter passion for chocolate bunnies, eggs, bilbies, blocks, assorted boxes and chocolate hot-cross buns. A report on Australia’s chocolate consumption predicts we will spend more than $210m on chocolate this Easter, putting us among the top countries per capita.

Chocolate has been around since 1100 BC, evolving deliciously from its original “bitter water” meaning and is loved universally. Despite being a tasty treat for people, ingesting even the smallest amount can be extremely hazardous to a dog's health. They can die from eating chocolate, especially dark chocolate. Seek vet help immediately.

We have slipped below the top 10 of the world’s greatest chocolate eaters annually despite splurging an average of AU$644.73 a year as of February 2022 according to chocolate industry statistics. As in all other western countries our consumption rose considerably over the past five years with premium brands enjoying a huge increase in sales. Can we blame lockdowns, work

from home, depression or bribing kids to do their home schooling quietly?

USA consumers increased their chocolate intake from 4.4kgs per person in 2015 to a whopping 9kgs in 2022 putting them second to the Swiss who consume 11.6kgs per capita. Portugal and Finland lead the world with drinking chocolate consumption.

Aussie women consume slightly more than men with Victorians being the biggest “chocoholics”. Those aged 18-24yo consume the least. Last year Australia listed 429 chocolate and confectionery manufacturers. Milk chocolate is preferred and the top chocolate bar in 2021 was the Turkish Delight!

Consumers will pay more for healthier and more sustainable confectionery but should heed warnings about excess consumption especially of very dark chocolate. The increased caffeine can cause diarrhoea, dehydration, increased heart rate, irritability, anxiety, a rise in blood pressure and difficulty focusing. It can also cause insomnia or increase the chances of kidney stones due to urinary oxalate excretion. Very dark chocolate contains tyramine, a chemical which can trigger migraines.

A Canadian study of 44,489 individuals found those who ate one serving of chocolate each week were 22% less likely to experience a stroke than those who did not. Those who had around two ounces (56 grams) of chocolate a week were 46% less likely to die from a stroke. Dietary studies tracking the long-term health of 25,000 men and women suggest up to 100gm of chocolate a day may be linked to lower risk of heart disease or stroke.

YOUTH

Building resilience

Resilience is a term bandied around a lot these days and rightly so in a world experiencing weather events, wars, negative news and economic turbulence. The definition of resilience is “the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness”. It is such a handy skill to develop to cope with life’s ups and downs and it is not only applicable to traumatic events.

There are some simple life practices that help build resilience in adults and children. These include knowing your strengths and asking for help if you need support, understanding that no

one is good at everything and that it is human nature to feel out of your depth sometimes. Build a support network of friends and family around you so when you need to ask for assistance you know exactly who to turn to. Develop coping strategies before they are required. These may be as simple as mindfulness exercises to calm yourself or clear negative thoughts so you can focus on solutions.

If something is going awry, stick to the facts. Look at what you actually know, what really happened and what your true options are. Catastrophising or imagining what may go wrong or what could have gone wrong only adds to anxiety and stress and clouds your ability to make good decisions.

The best advice I found while researching resilience is to be prepared in advance. Do one little thing daily that strengthens your self-esteem, learn from your experiences and take care of yourself mentally, physically and emotionally (adapted from the Mayo Clinic). As we do this for ourselves, we model it for the next generation. Robyn Simpson choosethetude.com

Parenthood success story

Parenthood – its successes are rarely acknowledged but one day one of mine was recognised …

Back in the 70s there were early warnings that a risk to children could come from a person pretending to be kind and harmless. It was called Stranger Danger. My kids were young and comfortable around people and I thought, “Oh dear I have raised a couple of targets”. The dress-up box was turned into a wardrobe for a concerted effort to role play the risks. Rainy days, playtimes and impromptu performances led to dramatisation of potential scenarios that entice a child from safety into real danger. I took on the roles of men and women, old and young. I offered icecreams, lollies, finding a lost dog, patting a kitten, going to help mummy who had been hurt and daddy who sent for them to go to work and more ruses to separate a child from a parent. I used all the voices and I believed I deserved Academy awards for many performances that even made my hair stand on end for their evil trickery. We practised safe responses.

I hoped that Katie and David never had to use any of the foils. Then one day ...

We arranged to meet a teacher - who I had taught with for several years - at a campground where she was staying with other families from their local Lions Club. We were the last to arrive in our orange Kombi van so to help us set-up before sunset my friend and a group of mums with kids offered to take our kids to play. I sent my trusting children off with my friend not thinking anything of it.

No more than 10 minutes later the kids returned, followed by the group. One mother asked, “How did you do it?” I had no idea what I had done but was sure it must have been bad. Then my friend explained what had happened. “Your kids stopped dead at an invisible line.”

Yes, well I always set the boundaries before the kids got out of the car. I knew they would not cross that line as when they did, the first few times, they were packed-up and taken straight home. On this occasion when told they were going to get icecreams they yelled, “Mummy said you would say that”. The mums tried to pacify them as they began shouting “Stranger Danger” and “You haven’t eaten dinner at our place”.

They were calmed a little by my friend’s ability to show a connection. Then Katie asked for the “secret word”. No secret word was forthcoming so they turned and ran. Back at the camp one mum said, “I worship you,” which was a bit over the top but very gratifying. So my role playing had paid off and my success recognised!

As an adult Katie needed money wired to her overseas and the transaction required a secret word, so we got to use it again 20 years later!

Keeping kids safe

Eumundi Voice was made aware of a child safety incident reported in the Eumundi township earlier this month. It is important for parents, grandparents and carers to remind their children of things they can do to stay safe while they are out-and-about.

Here are some tips for kids:

• Safety in numbers – stick with friends and avoid walking alone.

• If you have to walk alone stay within safe zones. For example, walk through the school rather than around the outside and don’t talk to strangers.

• Use a family secret safety word. If someone wants to take you somewhere ask them the secret safety word. If they can’t tell you don’t go with them even if you know them. Ask them to call your parents so you can talk to your parents directly to get permission, or go to the school office or a business and ask the school staff to call your parents.

• Listen to the warning signs from your body and brain. If you feel that something is a bit unusual or uncomfortable find a trusted adult or safe place to get away from the stranger.

• If a stranger approaches you, use a loud voice and say “I don’t know you!” which lets other people know you may be in danger.

• Go to a nearby safe zone for example your school, a shop, a friend's house, your home or the police station whichever is closest.

• Notice what the stranger is wearing, what they look like, how old they are or the vehicle they are driving. This will help keep the community safe by giving adults a clear description so they can find the stranger.

10 school holiday activities

With school holidays upon us again we thought we’d give you a little inspiration on what to do, especially if you’re doing a stay-at-home-cation.

1. Check out the local council holiday programs for free and cost-effective activities.

2. Organise a natural treasure hunt. This can be done at home or out-and-about.

3. Do a mystery day tour. Mum or Dad gets to choose a destination and give clues but don't reveal the location. Include something fun, educational and a few treats.

4. Pack a picnic, grab a ball and some friends and head to a local park or botanic garden for an afternoon of fun.

5. Build a cubby house inside or outside.

6. Camp on the back lawn. Invite some friends for even more fun.

7. Go for a bike ride along one of the Noosa trails.

8. Head to Kenilworth and visit the bakery, playground, chocolate factory and cheese factory.

9. Build something from recycled materials.

10. Learn to draw or paint or create a chalk sidewalk masterpiece.

Caroline was excellent from start to finish. She was across everything and more - she went above and beyond to make the sale process as stress free as possible. Her kind, attentive and gentle manner was reassuring all the way, and her knowledge of the market and skill in applying that, meant that we got the best outcome possible. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

April Fools’ Day

The date 1 April is synonymous with playing practical jokes and calling a person who falls for a hoax an 'April Fool'. Not only individuals are involved – in fact mass media has played many pranks over the years.

In 1749 a London newspaper published a report that a showman would squeeze himself into a wine bottle at the Theatre Royal Haymarket. The story was a bet between the Duke of Portland and the Earl of Chesterfield designed to show how the public could be fooled. The theatre filled-up on the given day but no performer arrived.

In 1957 the BBC TV program Panorama purported to show the Swiss harvesting spaghetti from trees. The program claimed the tree could eradicate the spaghetti weevil. A large number of people contacted the BBC wanting to know where to source spaghetti trees.

In 1969 the public broadcaster in the Netherlands, NTS, announced that inspectors with scanners would be driving the streets to detect people who had not paid their TV/radio tax, adding that the only way to prevent detection was to wrap the TV/radio in aluminium foil. Supermarkets sold out of foil the next day and a surge of TV/ radio taxes were paid.

In 2014 King’s College Cambridge released a YouTube video detailing their decision to discontinue the use of trebles (boy sopranos) and instead use grown men who had inhaled helium gas.

The flip-side of fooling the public on 1 April has been that genuine news can be mistaken for a hoax. On 1 April 2004 Google announced the release of Gmail. Some of the features of the service were not considered technologically possible and many believed Gmail was an April Fools’ Day joke. Rhonda Piggott

Book Review – A Woman’s Work

In A Woman's Work popular author Victoria Purnam transports us back to 1956 Melbourne when excitement over the Olympics and the arrival of television for the lucky few meant little to those women unable to work due to being married and forced to spend hours catering to their husband’s and children’s demands.

Washing machines, hot water, refrigeration, even bathrooms were basic in working class homes. Many women felt ignored except for their exhausting housewifely and motherly duties.

Family planning was hit or miss and having a baby out of wedlock meant shame for both mother and child. For many The Australian Women’s Weekly provided escapism through stories, articles, fashion, housekeeping hints and competitions. Kathleen, a mother of five, enters a cooking competition as does receptionist and single mum Ivy along with thousands of other readers – all hoping a win will change their lives. This novel is so beautifully written I read it in two days and longed for both deserving women to be top winners but life doesn’t always go exactly as we wish. I was angry and saddened, remembering my childhood in the 50s, the hardships for women and the prejudice and injustice of a male-dominated world. A Woman's Work will be available in bookstores soon.

Why I love where I live

The hinterland has always been my home and growing up I was blessed to have an active childhood spent mostly outdoors and in nature.

I attended Cooroy State Primary School and Noosa District State High School where my friends and array of hobbies could see me anywhere from Noosa to Eumundi and Cooran all in one day. One of my favourite memories as a child was running off to listen to the live music, Juzzie Smith, while eating mini-cinnamon doughnuts at the Eumundi Markets where my mum was working at her stall.

I now attend the same markets with my own children and hope they will share similar fond memories. During my early 20s I travelled extensively overseas, however have always considered our area the best place on Earth. Funnily enough all these years later you can still find me travelling all over the hinterland. My partner Jack and I welcomed our identical

twin girls Aluna and Harlow in August 2021 and our decision to purchase a home and start a family in the Eumundi/Eerwah Vale area was an easy one.

We love the magnificent landscapes, fresh air and serenity but the tight knit community and wonderful people are really what sets our area apart from others. Our home and township have brought us so much happiness. There is nothing better than having friends and family over on a Saturday afternoon to enjoy a drink and local produce from the markets.

I’ve just returned to work at Hinternoosa and am one of the lucky ones that absolutely loves my career. It combines my passion for helping people, property and our beautiful area. No two days are the same and it’s really exciting. I’ve been working in real estate since 2013 and love to navigate and educate people through the big decision to purchase or sell property. I find most of my clients become good friends which is built through trust, honesty and a little humour along the way. Sheridan
