T
his year we have decided to have a new category in the Christmas Lights Competition for people’s choice so that it is not just the judges who have their say. The idea of the how it works is that each of the entrants has an entry number and then you can go onto our new ‘Lighting Up Glasshouse Country’ facebook page and you can like your favourite/s. We put in last week’s paper that we would have everything on facebook by last Friday, which sounded easy thinking between a few of us we would go out a on a couple of nights after dark and grab some snaps. What we didn’t count of was having a quick crazy storm ripping through some of our townships last Thursday,

Hi Everyone
bringing down powerlines and causing havoc with the hard work of many of the contestant’s displays on Wednesday night. Sadly, some of the displays were quite badly damaged, which is so disappointing for those people who have worked so hard in creating something special to share with the rest of the community. So to give everyone time to combat Mother Nature’s handiwork we had to delay the facebook page from going live – but if you want to go on and have and look and make a vote, you can now.
Christmas Carols by Candlelight will be held at the Peachester Uniting Church from 7.00pm, (next door to the Peachester Hall). join in a night to reminisce and celebrate the Christmas Season.

Carols by Candlelight
Call Leisa or Michelle
This is the first year Glasshouse Country Christian College has held a P-2 Carols by Candlelight night and it was a great success. There was plenty of room on the oval for extended families and friends to join in the celebrations. The atmosphere was festive and the weather was perfect. The P and F organised stalls, food and drinks so many families made a dinner picnic of the night. The P and F also gave a battery operated candle to each student which meant everyone could enjoy the traditional twinkling of candles in complete safety. The program began with little voices singing ‘Unto us a Child is Born’ followed by each class presentation items. Interspersed between items, the end of year awards were presented. All of
Students from Prep Maroon tried to pull a rapper pose and look street-smart but they just succeeded in looking cuter than ever

Truth Wiggins from 1G sings her heart out during her performance the classes performed wonderfully and kept the audience of more than 500 people entertained all night. There were beautiful traditional songs such as ‘Joy to the World’ and ‘On that Very First Christmas’ as well as new twists on old songs like the ‘Australian Jingle Bells’ and a hip hop version of ‘Little Drummer Boy’. When Prep Green performed ‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree’ there were cries of delight to watch the little ones dance ‘the swim’ and ‘the twist’. The props for the ‘Twelve Days of Christmas’ by Year 2M were anything but traditional. Five gold rings were five Cheezels, a partridge in a pear tree became a picture of Danny Partridge on top of a pear t-shirt and the ‘swans a swimming’ became AFL Sydney Swans! It was a wonderful way for the Prep to Year 2 classes and their families of Glasshouse Country to celebrate the end of a great year.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has appointed Member for Fisher Mal Brough to Chair the Joint Standing Committee on the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
ensuring the blueprint of the Productivity Commission is realised,” Mr Fifield said. Mr Brough said he was delighted to be given the opportunity to be part of developing one of most important and significant social policy initiatives in our nation’s history.
Assistant Minister for Social Services Mitch Fifield said the committee will serve as a symbol of unity and also provide a forum where questions of design and implementation can be posed in a way that is not seen to be partisan. “We envisage the parliamentary oversight committee playing an important role in examining the experience in the NDIS launch sites and
“I appreciate the importance of the work this committee can and will do on behalf of those Australians living with a disability, their carers and families,” Mr Brough said.
Thought of becoming an auxiliary firefighter? If so, the Beerwah Fire Station needs you. Auxiliary firefighters are men and women from all walks of life that live close by and can respond whenever called to an emergency situation. Most auxiliary firefighters hold regular jobs within our local communities and perform their firefighting role part-time. Being an auxiliary firefighter isn’t a volunteer role. They are paid for their time to attend incidences, as well as for training. The basic criteria for an applicant is that they are an Australian resident, have a C Class drivers licence and live or work within a ‘reasonable distance’ from the Beerwah Fire Station.
If you would like to play an integral role within Queensland Fire and Emergency Services and help keep our community safe, contact the local Area Commander on 5420 7510 to find out more about becoming an auxiliary firefighter.

Vale William Charles (Bill) Ferris (1927-2013)
Sadly, the Friends of Bankfoot House lost a life member when Bill Ferris passed away on December 2, 2013. A funeral service was held for him on Tuesday, December 10 in Brisbane. Bill was the eldest son of Jack Ferris, who was the last resident of Bankfoot House, as well as the grandson of William Smith and Clementina Burgess (nee Grigor). President of the Friends of Bankfoot House, Ron Gillander said Bill had many precious memories of his grandparents at Bankfoot House and, upon the death of his mother Mary in 1987, assisted in supporting his father. “Through Bill’s mechanical skills, his sharp memory and his comprehensive research into family history he also provided the Friends with vital information on Bankfoot House and the families. “On many occasions when volunteers were stumped on a question about the history of the house, the plea was made ‘ask Bill’. When a mystery tool or rusty object was found in the old shed the first thought was ‘ask Bill’. “Friends of Bankfoot House volunteers were very fortunate in having Bill available to them to answer the ‘ask Bill’ questions. He will be greatly missed.” Ron said.

Glenview company nets big fish in China
YOUR LOCAL FOOT & ANKLE CLINIC
A Glenview-based company – RADAQUA – last week turned the first sod on a new aquaculture site in Fujian Province, China.
Real results with new techonology – Digital Foot Scanning
RADAQUA has developed a best-practice fish harvesting process which has the potential to supply a huge market in that seafood-loving nation. When complete, this multi-million dollar development will see RADAQUA engineers operating a fly-in-fly-out style support team as the Zhao’an development flourishes. RADAQUA Managing Director Rod Missen said a long journey was finally paying off for the company. “The ultimate investment in China, through a staged development, will see an annual production of 5000 tonnes of Marine finfish, within a 16.6 hectare bio-secure site, with all nutrient and energy streams being fully utilised,” he said. “Pristine, premium product delivered through an industry-leading production system will deliver the core outcomes of product quality, environment sustainability and economic viability of operations.” Sunshine Coast Council is also working with RADAQUA in a bid to expand the technology to a larger site. Cr Jenny McKay, who attended the groundbreaking event in China recently, said RADAQUA’s achievement was a great milestone. “RADAQUA’s technology will revolutionise fish farming here in China,” she said. “I know the company’s success will position it very well for further expansion in the area – and from there, potentially across the nation.” RADAQUA is a local success story, operating for over 18 years delivering seafood production

Rod showing off a farmed barramundi systems and aquatic environment technology solutions within Australia and internationally. The company has recognised a need for better food production systems to ensure we can keep up with the future demand for protein. They have developed environmental and economically sustainable fish farming systems which deliver premium fish products through aquaculture, which then relieves the pressure on diminishing wild fish populations. Other projects RADAQUA have been involved with include the establishment and operation of Ecofish at Glenview, working with Queensland Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry at their Bribie Island research centre, and setting up systems for the research into aquatic fisheries disease prevention with the South Australian government. Rod says that another innovative project they have partnered with is called Blue Beef. “This is an integrated fish and cattle farm, where the Rockhampton farmer has developed a large barramundi aquaculture farm. “The waste and nutrient rich waters are then used to irrigate pastures where he grazes cattle,” explained Rod.

One new entrant at Mooloolah also has a very ‘cool Santa’ on a surfboard as a special feature which blends in well with the garden full of snowmen and reindeers. However, the one street in Beerwah that has definitely embraced the festive season over the past few years is Pacific Place.
While the people who get seriously hooked on creating these amazing displays each year are all quite different – they are different ages, come from all walks of life and with varying budgets – they all seem to have a particular ‘enthusiasm gene’ that clearly unites them. Some spend months researching and searching for unique intricate premade display pieces, and others spend the whole year search through the recycle centre and happily incorporate items that people have ‘gifted’ them and others like to get very hands on and build and create their own pieces from scratch. So when you go out and take a look at the different properties you will notice there are all sorts of quirky elements that will appeal to different individuals. Personally I love the nativity scene in the stable that Rhonda and Kym Petty have create on Lindeman Road, right down to the details of the lambs and the calves (not so sure about the rabbit, but it is cute).

The Casey family of Pacific Place This year it is just as spectacular, with four of the houses entering the competition and one in the display listings. The passion for light displays runs deep in this street, so much so for Beth Casey and her family who moved into the street this year. Beth confirmed that part of the reason that they chose to rent in Pacific Place was for the Christmas lights. Beth and her family had previously been decorating their property in Chantilly Court for the past six years and as their family has expanded so has their light displays. Last week baby Beth's youngest celebrated her first birthday and first full year of being a part of the Christmas light fun. Beth said she just loves how sharing this common interest really draws the neighbours together.

Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday season
The team at the Lookout Cafe are really excited about the changes ahead for 2014, and expect that by Easter next year the building they operate from will be transformed. Currently the cafe seats around 34 people on its outdoor deck area – however the major renovations will see them also having air conditioned indoor dining for an extra 20 people. If you have been to the cafe you will know that the girls do an amazing job preparing the meals and drinks in a highly organised but challengingly small space. The work will see their kitchen become three times the size that it currently is – which is great for those working in it and for the regulars, you can expect an expanded menu. For the transition to take place they have to close for approximately a month, so they plan to keep trading right through the Christmas School Holidays and then close down over February. They will however take a short Christmas break from Sunday, December 22 – Wednesday, December 25 and will reopen on Boxing Day. Gary and Levi from Studio Ink are helping get Kiana Myers to France to represent Australia in the Junior Women’s In-Line Hockey team in France in June / July in 2014. Last year Kiana (who is ranked 22nd in the world for her division) travelled to California to compete in the World Championships and her team took out two bronze medals. As part of Kiana’s fundraising she will be raffling the $500.00 voucher that the fellas have generously given her. Tickets are $5.00 each or five for $20.00. To purchase a ticket, drop into Studio Ink in Simpson Street, Beerwah. Gary said it was great to be able to support a talented young person on their way to being a champion. Feed and Fodder at Beerwah are stocking the ‘Live Love Ride’ shirts that have been created in memory of little Jess Wall who sadly lost her battle with kidney disease back in 2012. Jess’s mum Kelly has set the idea up as a fundraiser, purchasing the shirts for $30.00 then sells them for $35.00, with $5.00 being donated to the Kidney Foundation. (making no profit at all). The shirts are available in black, white, red and blue, as well as Jess’s favourite colours, pink and purple. They come in Mens ranging in size from small to 5 XL and for the ladies size 8 to 22, and some kids sizes, Kelly suggests taking a size up from your usual sizing. Pop into Feed and Fodder in Biondi Cresent, open Monday – Friday 8.00am – 5.30pm, then Thursday until 6.00pm and Saturday from 8.00am – 12.00noon.

Community News Good Neighbour of the Year Award Contributed by Sheila Williams At the meeting of Beerwah NHWQ held on December 2, the ‘Good Neighbour of the Year’ Award was presented to John and Pam Innes, the recipients of the June award, who were nominated by Esma and Jim Rigby. Pam and John Innes have been involved in community affairs for many years since they retired to Beerwah. Pam was editor of the Glasshouse Country News, and as such, with John, became aware of the many needs in the community. They have delivered Meals on Wheels, helped organise a plant stall at the Charity Sports Day and been involved with the local Glasshouse Country Orchid Society as well as the Peachester Horticultural Society. They visit the sick and pick up those who have no transport to Church activities. They have befriended the owners and the residents of Mooloolah Valley Lodge, and instigated twice yearly visits from the MU members and others
from the Anglican Church to have fellowship and afternoon tea with them. Pam has been a long time member of the Anglican Debutante Ball Committee and of the Chaplaincy Committee. John is always willing to help a neighbour with small electrical problems.
Beerwah’s generosity gets the thumbs up from staff at Ruth Fairfax House
On Friday, five boxes of donated stationery from Beerwah were delivered to CWA’s accommodation, Ruth Fairfax House, in Brisbane. From here they will make their way, with the help of Rotary International, to a depot where they will join all of the other Kits for Kids boxes collected by the many CWA branches in Queensland. Rotary will deliver them to under-resourced schools in Papua New Guinea, Fiji and Samoa in the New Year. We would especially like to thank Landsborough Kindy for their contribution (thanks for sharing what you have with other kids) and the Beerwah Newsagency for assisting with the collection.

Recently the Beerwah Catholic Ladies Auxiliary celebrated the launch of a soup recipe book titled ‘The Soup Kitchen’, the proceeds of which will go to support the Beerwah High School Chaplaincy. The occasion was an end of year community dinner where cheques were given to our local St Vincent de Paul and Rosie's Street Mission to support their work as well as the book launch for the Chaplaincy. The inspiration for this project came out of the now traditional soup luncheon event held midyear by the Ladies Auxiliary where each year there are enquiries about recipes. The Soup Kitchen book is a response to those requests. The many and varied recipes come from the kitchens of this community and have been well and truly taste tested. The price of 'The Soup Kitchen' is $10.00 and copies can be obtained if you phone Pam on 5493 0967. Special thanks must go to Margaret Mclean and Lorelle Gottardi who compiled the book, Tina Homer who provided the cover artwork, and Mark Brandon of Brandon Printing Landsborough.

Congratulations from CWA The winner of the CWA Hospitality Student of the Year Award Taylor Olsen from GCCC. The award was presented by the member for Caloundra Mark McArdle at the school’s recent award night.
Beerwah Writers Group
By Trevor McGurk At our recent meeting, our facilitator Paul informed us that Penguin Books will accept manuscripts of approximately 50,000 words, between the first and eighth of each month. If the stories are of interest to them, they will advise and edit. Paul also advised that the program at Glasshouse Primary School ‘Children’s Introduction to Writing’ has been an interesting and challenging exercise. Many children showed encouraging potential to become good writers. The majority of children favoured topics on horror and dinosaurs. We thank BWG volunteers for conducting this program. David emphasised the merits and reasons why we write and to make our weekly chosen homework topic a priority, so that constructive feedback and honest evaluations can be advantageous to writers. An enjoyable barbecue break-up party was hosted by David and Jo for group members - thanks to them for their generous hospitality. Our meetings go into recess from our last meeting date on December 12 and re-commence on January 24, at the meeting room at Beerwah Library. New members are most welcome. Our recently published children’s books – ‘Tales for Tots & Tweens’ are available for $10.00 each at the Beerwah Newsagency. They make a lovely Christmas gift. Profits from sales of these delightful books will be sent to Zambian Outreach to aid HIV and AIDS victims in the community of Lusaka - the capital of Zambia. We wish all members a Happy and Safe Festive Season.

Total Microsystems Total Microsystems at Beerwah have your technology needs covered all year round, and in particular during the festive season. They would love to help take the stress out of your ‘gift buying’ requirements by helping you choose the perfect gift. As a business that has been around for the past 15 years, and owned by Daniel and Tara for the last five, they have always been focused on developing great relationships with both business and personal clients. By getting to know their customers and asking the right questions prior to purchase, they can ensure they match the customer with the most suitable product. Many customers are overwhelmed with the many product variations available and find this service incredibly helpful. And while their showroom might not be filled with thousands of items like the big technology businesses on the Coast, they can order in the exact product for your needs and have them arrive in one or two working days.
www.gcnews.com.au
Business feature Tara said they know that many locals think by going to the big technology businesses they will also get the best price. “However we would encourage them to get a written quote and bring it in to us – they will be very surprised how often we can beat it,” she said. When customers bring in written quotes, it is a good opportunity for us to make sure that they are comparing apples with apples and also that the product is the best fit for them, added Daniel. “Often we get locals coming in to us with products that they have bought elsewhere and they are disappointed that the product isn’t performing how they had expected, but by then it is too late to be of any help to them,” he said. “Our staff are not sales people. They just love all things technology and have extensive knowledge of a wide range of products not just computers. So you can come and talk to us about advice on projectors, televisions, screens, tablets, gaming computers and even phones.
“My advice if you are looking for any new technology, is talk to us first. We care about our customers – not just making a sale. We are a part of your local community and we keenly believe that it is definitely worth ‘Shopping local First’,” Tara said.

Quilt winner
The Beerwah Catholic Ladies Auxiliary is very happy to announce the winner of the raffle of a beautiful handmade patchwork quilt donated by Sharon Hyde. The winner is Ingrid O'Shea of Glass House. The proceeds of the raffle went to our local St Vincent de Paul and Rosie's Street Mission operating out of Caloundra. Each of these received a cheque for $400.00. The Auxiliary would like to thank all those who supported our fundraising for these worthy causes.
Anzacs - Celebrating 100 Years Landsborough Museum was delighted to receive access to a wonderful collection of letters and photos from Gwen Davis (nee Hapgood). Harry Hapgood hailed from Mooloolah and served in Palestine during WW1. Harrys’ collection will be one feature of an exhibition that Landsborough Museum will install to celebrate and commemorate the ANZAC tradition. If you have similar images, letters or other items that you would like to include in the exhibition, the Museum can digitally scan the items and return all originals to you. All items should be relevant to the Sunshine Coast. We are also looking for information relating to memorials, presentations and events that were instrumental in honouring the ANZACs during the last 100 years. Contact Wendy or Dot – we will get back to you as soon as possible, phone 5494 1755, email – landsboroughmuseum@aapt.net.au, post to PO Box 184, Landsborough, QLD, 4005 or call at Landsborough Museum, 4 Maleny Street, Landsborough – Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Sundays (9.00am - 2.30pm).
Caloundra Family History
Guest speaker at the last general meeting of the Caloundra Family History Research group for 2013 was Ms Stephanie Ryan. As Senior Librarian from the State Library of Queensland, and specialising in Family History, Stephanie gave a spirited and informative talk on the SLQ resources. Her talk will inspire members to search in a variety of different ways to find their ancestors and their way of life both before emigrating, and since their arrival in Queensland. It also incorporated hints on the use of the facilities at SLQ, both on-line, and at South Brisbane. This will be particularly useful to researchers over the Christmas break, as Caloundra Family History is closed during December. After the presentation, afternoon tea began, made magnificent by the beautiful home-made cakes and sweets provided by members who obviously possess talents other than record and cemetery searches to find long departed family. While enjoying the Christmas fare, a pall of sadness hung in the air, as our group of 112 members still has not been able to secure
Mrs Betty Hadland with her 20 year Loyalty Award from President June Blackburn premises for the 2014 opening. Many avenues have been investigated and are ongoing, and members are reminded that the President’s Newsletter email will include meeting venue and dates, as soon as they are available. Further information on the group’s calendar of events, resources, ‘Caloundra Clipper’ journal, and activities, is available on our website at www.caloundrafamilyhistory.org.au.

What most people don’t know about is Spinal Subluxation, a term chiropractors use to describe dysfunctional vertebrae in the spine. This is a very common condition that pushes the body away from functioning normally and feeling great. Subluxations can be caused by old or new injuries, but most often are caused by repetitive stresses of everyday life. Low back and pelvic subluxations can also lead to further symptoms, such as hip and knee pain, or digestive troubles. There are many causes of back pain, and each cause requires a specific treatment. If your back pain is caused by Spinal Subluxation, the chiropractic adjustment is the only therapy that will correct the cause. To find out if Spinal Subluxation is the cause of your decreased quality of life, call Adjust to Life Chiropractic today, or visit www.adjusttolife. com.au Beerwah 5494 0499 or Maroochydore 5443 4545 18 |

Opposite Lock Sunshine Coast turns one Opposite Lock has been operating at Latcham Drive in Caloundra for one year now. Formerly this site was known as Torque Off- Road, servicing the Sunshine Coast for 12 years. Ron Flanigan says the main reason he went to an Opposite Lock franchise was not only the products they manufacture and sell, it’s the warranty they can now offer. Opposite Lock has over 50 stores Australia-wide and the products that Opposite Lock use and fit, even from other manufacturers, come with the two year Australia-wide written warranty. “We weren’t able to offer this as an independent trader and our customers would go away on their remote adventures without the peace of mind we can now give them. It’s good to know they have someone to turn to, wherever they go,” he said.
Business feature
Opposite Lock Sunshine Coast is owned and run by the Flanigan family. Both Ron and Lynda are well known on the coast, and their son Nick is involved in the day to day running of Torquegas Conversions which has been operating for 23 years in Caloundra, and is co-located with Opposite Lock in Latcham Drive. “Service has always been the top priority, and we collectively have over 100 years of four wheel drive and auto repairs experience,” says Ron. With a modern workshop and Dynamometer and six hoists, they can conduct almost any repair including custom fabrication and manufacture of specialised customer needs. The Opposite Lock and Torquegas businesses work well together and enhance each other.

“Queenslanders should Slip on sun-protective clothing, Slop on SPF30 or above broadspectrum, water resistant sunscreen, Slap on a broad-brimmed hat, Seek shade and Slide on wrap-around sunglasses whenever outdoors,� Ms Clift said. Queenslanders are urged to conduct skin checks regularly and if any new moles or spots are detected, or a mole or spot changes in shape, colour or size, they should visit their GP immediately. More information about Cancer Council Queensland, and being SunSmart, is available at www.cancerqld.org.au or by calling Cancer Council Helpline 13 11 20.

Maria the cat is a female Domestic Shorthair cat in a beautiful ginger and white and she is only two-years-old. Maria has a very friendly nature, is okay with other cats and does not mind being picked up. All Maria’s vet work is done and her adoption fee is only $85.00, registration is also included. Maria has only recently arrived at the refuge.
We all know it’s important to Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide to reduce skin cancer risk – but did you know staying SunSmart is best practice for pets as well? When it comes to dogs, cats (or even pigs!) – family pets can be susceptible to sunburn and skin cancer, and need best protection when spending time outdoors. After all, Rudolf is the only one who should be sporting a red nose this Christmas! Like humans, it’s important that pet-safe sunscreen is applied to areas at risk of burning including the tips of the ears, nose and anywhere else with sparse hair. Cancer Council Queensland spokesperson Katie Clift said sun safety was paramount to reduce a pet’s risk of sunburn and skin cancer. “We all know it’s important to Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide before heading outside, but it’s just as important for our little furry friends!� Ms Clift said. “SunSmart behaviours are especially important if your pet has regular visits to the groomer to keep cool in the warmer months. “When you’re spending time outdoors with your pet, be sure to seek shade and apply pet-safe sunscreen to sun-sensitive areas like the nose. “Seek the advice of your vet to find out more about the best method of sun protection and reduce the risk of skin cancer for your whole family.� Every day around 370 Queenslanders are told they have skin cancer – that’s 136,000 new cases diagnosed every year. Sun protective behaviours are required whenever the UV index is three or above. In Queensland, the UV index is three or above all year round, so sun protection is required daily.

Chico is a male Labrador Cross American Staffy and is five and a half years old. He has a very loving nature, but does have separation anxiety so a home with ‘work from home’ or stay at home owners would be best. This boy would also prefer to be the only pet in the household. Adoption fee is only $250.00 with all vet work done, and registration and a training class included. Chico has lived at the refuge since May this year.

LSS swim success
School News Landsborough’s got talent This term, Landsborough State School has held their annual Landsborough's Got Talent contest. Students nominated to participate in the event and the heats were held during lunchtimes. The Grand Final was held on Friday, November 29 in the school hall to a large and enthusiastic audience. There was a wide variety of acts including singing, dancing, playing musical instruments and card tricks. Lots of hidden talents were discovered. Thank you to the teachers who gave up their time to judge the acts and congratulations to the winners. It was a fantastic event, loved by all the audience.

Event goes swimmingly
On Thursday, December 5, Mooloolah State School swim carnival was held at the Mooloolah Pool, their first carnival under the new Cowan Taylor Aquatics management. It was a brilliant blue-sky day and temperatures soared. Teachers and volunteers rallied to every task, students from Prep to Year 7 participated
in true sporting spirit, records were broken and Westaway won the day! Swim squad swimmers proved that training definitely pays off, and starred in most events. Congratulations to all winners and swimmers, and a big thank-you to all who assisted to make the day a big sporting success!
Landsborough State School held their annual Swimming Carnival at the Beerwah Aquatic Centre on Tuesday, December 3. A beautiful Summer's day set the scene for a fierce competition between the school's three sports houses - Burgess, Flinders and Petrie. The day included novelty events for the junior school as well as individual competitive stroke races for the upper year levels. If children were not swimming in events, they were enthusiastically cheering on their friends. Many parents also came along to support their children and enjoy the day. One of the highlights of the day was having the school's mascot ‘Bee’ in attendance to motivate and entertain the students. He donned a special bee coloured wetsuit for the day and even entered the pool a few times to cool down. The winning team was Burgess. Well done to everyone who attended, gave it a go, earned points for their team and made the day such a success.

Hospitals praised
A couple of months ago I had cause to be taken by ambulance to Caloundra hospital after a fall on the tennis court. The care and attention given to me by the paramedics and staff in the Emergency Section to treat my injuries was first class. As further treatment was required at Nambour hospital the doctor at Caloundra organised this for me. After meeting with the specialist he made an appointment for me with a surgeon and I attended the Caloundra Private Hospital to have an operation two days later. As too many people are quick to criticise our overworked doctors and staff, I have no complaints and wish to praise them for the care and treatment I received during my time I spent in their care. I am now on the road to recovery. Jenny Morris Glass House Mountains
Scary maths
Unfortunately, the climate debate goes on and on and on. I think that a relatively new study from the UK has thrown up three numbers with the potential to blow the debate to pieces; that is the debate is over. The numbers are 2,565 and 2,795 (Professor Bill McKibben) The number two is about the only thing that all the countries that attended the 2009 Copenhagen climate summit could agree on. In the voluntary accord signed by 141 countries responsible for 87.24% of the world’s carbon emissions, only one scientific number was included; it recognised the scientific view that the increase in global temperature should be below 2 degrees Celsius. While keeping this number in mind, we should also recognise that so far the temperature of the planet has already risen by 0.8 degrees. The second number is 565 gigatons. This is roughly how much more carbon dioxide scientists say humans can pour into the atmosphere by midcentury (2050) and still have some reasonable hope of staying below the two degrees temperature rise. At the current rate we burn up carbon, the 565 gigatons will be used up in about 15 years. While the above combination of two and 565 scares me, it’s the third number that makes it even scarier; 2,795 gigatons. This is the amount of carbon contained in all the coal, oil, and gas reserves held by fossil fuel companies and countries. This is five times higher than the 565 gigatons which would bring our temperature up to the 2 degree limit agreed to. So if we already have five times as much oil and gas as science says it is safe to burn, why then are companies and governments still trying to open up new exploration licenses for even more of the same, at the same time as they are digging up more and more fossil fuel? Surely, this should be all the evidence needed to start pouring huge amounts of money into the research and development of renewable energy sources, and quickly! Cliff Schnick Glass House Mountains
Rubbish at charity bins
You had a two page article in last weeks’ GCNews (pages 6 and 7) on the cost of dealing with rubbish and my letter is in that same rubbish vein. I was very distressed by what I saw yesterday afternoon when I went to pick up my partner from the Glass House train station. I spotted old and decaying furnishings that had been left at the Charity bins. I was really seriously upset to see this. Really, how could people do this? I have a son who is in residential care; I know how much a place like Endeavour needs to collect financially to maintain the services given to these people with disabilities. And here are what can only be called very inconsiderate people literally dumping their household rubbish for someone else to dispose of. As it is left at the foot of these bins, I get the impression that this rubbish is meant for those less fortunate? Obviously, even the homeless would not want to sit on some of this stuff. Does this mean that those who are disabled and cannot even if they wanted to need to be accepting this as a gift? It is high time that someone puts a CCTV camera on a pole near these bins, so we can arrest and fine these litter bugs who simply dump rubbish at everyone else’s expense. If people are honest and want to donate things to charity, then it should be clean and usable. Items that they do not think is good enough for themselves; should not be considered to be good enough for those less fortunate. That is really an insult. Then, when it is good enough, the charity will be more than happy to come and collect it from their homes, rather than having to pick up rubbish exposed to the weather. Maybe council can consider re-introducing the curbside clean up? Distressed resident Glass House Mountains
After reading about the roosters, chook shed farms and kookaburras in the last couple of issues of this newspaper, I would like to say if you don't like where you live then why live here? I can't believe people are complaining about these trivial little things. Take a look around at where you live. We live in one of the most beautiful places in Australia. I would rather live here with the noise of roosters crowing, kookaburras laughing, peacocks calling, frogs croaking in our drain pipes and the stench of fertiliser at all hours of the day and night (as we do from our next door neighbors farm), than to live in a place like where we used to. With fire trucks and police screaming down our street, cars blazing on fire behind our neighbour's house, gun armed hold ups at the top of our street and knife punch ups in the alley way next to our house smashing through our fence. I am thankful everyday for where we live now. How about we all stop and look around at what we have and where we are - in a beautiful friendly community with beautiful wildlife, animals and creatures. Be thankful for that, some people can't afford to live in such a beautiful place. Don't get hung up on the small things look at the bigger picture of life. Jo Glass House Mountains

Rural lifestyle
Good grief I thought I had heard it all. Where I have lived, for the past 24 years, I have a quarry (with regular dynamite explosions), nut and pineapple farms, chicken farms, greyhounds, trail bikes in the forest, off road rally's, helicopters, the Bruce Highway to the east and the trains to the west and all the sounds of nature including my own roosters and ducks. I have one comment, this is the country and rural, you either get used to it or leave. Very contented resident Glass House Mountains
Interesting smells Safety suggestion
I have witnessed a lot of near misses to cars nearly backing into each other in car parks, and I myself am guilty. I backed into a delivery van, the damage was to my car not his and it was my fault. Why don’t we start beeping our horns three times when we are going to back out? People will look up and everyone around your car will then know what you are doing especially if you are beside a large car. Julie Savage Beerwah
I read with interest the correspondence on the offensive smells which emanates from the chook farm in Glass House Mountains occasionally. I wonder if anyone has been to Rotorua where the sulphur stink permeates the town continuously? Somehow the residents manage to live with it. Not sure what they do. Maybe they put pegs on their noses. How sad it is to read that some people, ‘don’t care how chooks are farmed.

User pays myth
Oh dear - I know that at this time of year, you really only want 'good cheer', but we now have our local councillor on about 'user pays'. Firstly, I think most of the genuine cost complaints are about green waste. I agree that commercial users should pay the full cost. Locals should get at least a discount, or free weekend drops for green waste (as it used to be). The last load I took, I was going to be charged for a small (normal) load when the lady changed her mind and suddenly it was an 'average load' $16.00. Now, user pays? Fair enough, when are you going to reduce my rates? I don't use council buses, taxi service, trains, bicycle paths, doggy parks, children’s parks etc. I do know that as a pensioner who thought I could end my days on this beautiful block, I cannot afford $16.00 every three to four weeks. User pays is just a myth! A very Merry Christmas to all. Ron Batty Beerwah
Learn to tune out
I would just like to say that I love hearing my neighbour's rooster at whatever hour he calls out. It reminds me of how grateful I feel to live in a place where I hear this instead of sirens, traffic or even worse noises that people in war-torn countries hear. My neighbour's rooster sounds like he is happy and enjoying life and that is a welcome start to my day. I believe you can tune yourself to listen out for noises and be annoyed by them or you can choose to think of other things and before long your subconscious doesn't even hear it. In the big picture we are more than lucky to live in a place where roosters are the worst thing we can complain about. Sally Joyce Peachester

Upgrading / updating
Here are some tips that might save some time and heartache! Whether you're about to update your Windows 8 pc to 8.1 or your iPad to IOS 7, follow these steps before you dive in. Firstly, backup any precious data: photographs, emails, documents etc. The updating / upgrading process is usually quite straight forward and painless, however, things can go wrong and you could be left with a big mess! Once you have backed up on iTunes, a USB, Hard Drive, the Cloud, or wherever you back up to, take the next steps. Make sure your device is plugged into the power; you don’t want the battery to go flat halfway through! Ensure your device is hooked up to the internet, and a good stable connection is highly recommended! Close any apps or programs that you have open. Now you’re ready. With the IOS upgrade it’s pretty straight forward, however, if you have little available memory left, you will now be told you need 3.8 Gb free. If so, you’ll have to start tidying up, and maybe deleting a few apps. You can re-install these apps after the process, but be warned, any data associated with that app may be lost. With the Windows 8.1 update, you need to go through the App Store, so you need a Microsoft account. For a detailed step-by-step guide, go to the Microsoft Website (find a link at www.mooloolahpc.com.au). Finally, if your PC is running fine, and you don’t need potential drama, leave the Windows Update for a few more months while all the bugs get ironed out. Apple is not totally immune to mishaps either! My iPhone is still on the old IOS and very happy. I notice the update is up to 7.04 – I’ll give the experts a few more months yet.
with Ben
Consistency is King Does your business have a Core Marketing Message? Unless you know exactly who you are and what you can offer, then how can your potential customers be expected to understand exactly what they can gain from your products and services? A good business will have a Core Marketing Message that is short and to the point, and is consistent across all marketing materials, such as flyers, business cards, packaging, website, social media etc. There is no point having a particular slogan, motto, mascot or symbol in your advertising if you do not also feature the same on your packaging, shopfront etc... otherwise how are people expected to remember that the advertisement they saw is actually related to the product or service they are considering? A classic example was Duracell batteries versus Eveready batteries. Duracell had trademarked the pink 'Duracell Bunny' but once they let their trademark expire, Eveready Batteries swooped in and took it from them. What happened when Eveready began to advertise the 'Eveready Bunny'? It was Duracell sales that increased! It wasn’t until Eveready finally put the bunny imagery on their packaging that their own sales finally started to climb as a product of their advertising efforts. An effective Core Marketing Message will: Show why and how you are uniquely placed in your industry as a quality provider; Touch people’s heartstrings and make them feel the benefits that are to be gained from dealing with your business; Put your potential customers’ minds at ease by calming their 'buyer's nerves' and reversing any risks that they may be considering.
TIME POOR? A good Social Media strategy can take 15 minutes per week.
And better still, there’s $$ no ongoing costs! $$ HIGH. Fires can be controlled but loss of life and damage to property is still a threat. What to do – ensure that you, your family and property are prepared for the risk of bushfire. Monitor the situation for any changes. Kev Sedgman, Volunteer Community Educator

Place + Beerwah
The streetscaping work in Beerwah is on target and will be on hold for a two week break over the festive season. We are just starting to see elements of the new streetscape emerge and in the New Year we’ll see the full effect of new lighting, street furniture, public art, landscape features and local rock wall installations.
Spectacular Christmas Tree
The ‘Christmas’ tree in Glass House has been turned on and I hope you’re as pleased as I am with the much improved quality and more spectacular scale of the decorative elements and additional lighting. It really makes a festive statement now while still having its unique contemporary feel.
Landsborough lights up
Landsborough businesses are working fantastically well together (and with a bit of help from council) to progressively install new festive lights along the Cribb Street roofline – keep an eye out as more lights are installed and more businesses join in to create a great festive look to the main street.
Happy New Region
An improving economic environment and the deamalgamation with Noosa means that the New Year is a genuine re-start for our region. In council our challenge is to continue to leverage off the necessity to reorganise ourselves; which we are doing. Post GFC, finance and funding will remain difficult, so it’s important that Council and the community think and act creatively to create important new job opportunities, while developing a sustainable economic, social and environmental foundation for a much happier 2014 onwards. Finally, may I wish all our local businesses and communities a safe, healthy and happy Christmas and a creative new year.

I attended the Landsborough Museum’s Cheese and Wine night for the launch of the latest display panels and their new Museum Interactive Data Access System (MIDAS). Council resealed and refurbished the back mudbrick walls of the museum that were starting to deteriorate from damp, in time for the launch. Three new themed panels have been installed that present aspects of early settlement, cultural heritage and the social history of the area and the new data system gives visitors a way of browsing the large collection of artefacts and articles that the museum preserves and presents on behalf of the whole community. Congratulations to all the volunteers who go to great lengths to preserve and present the history of our region using conventional as well as these newer and innovative platforms. What was also brilliant about the evening was the attendance of Mayor Mark Jamieson, Mal Brough MP, Mark McArdle MP and Anne Bailey from the Museum and Gallery Services Qld – it’s great to see Landsborough and our museum spend a night in the spotlight.

Division 5 Councillor Sunshine Coast Council M: 0409 450 726 Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme
It’s been a big year of consultation with the community about how the future design and development of the Coast will be reflected in the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme. Council has spent thousands of hours considering all of the submissions made by the community and the plan has now been sent to the State Government for final endorsement. Council expects to have the plan back early in the new year and we will be able to start implementing the scheme thereafter. It’s a vital document for the future of our region and I’d really like to thank all of those community members who have been involved in the process.
Eudlo information session
Thanks to everyone who came along to the Eudlo information session about the bridge replacement work that’s about to get underway. It was really enjoyable catching up with locals and hearing about what’s happening in the local area. There’s certainly a lot of interest in what will happen at the Old Olsen Mill site and that’s a project that I will be following up on and getting underway in the new year.
Merry Christmas
Wishing you, and your loved ones, a happy and safe holiday and festive season. I’m already looking forward to working with the community in the new year – there’s so much we can achieve when we work together with the best interests of the region in mind. And on a final note, congratulations to all the graduating students of 2013, I hope your future endeavours are bright, prosperous and fulfilling. www.gcnews.com.au

The family team of Derek and Debra Klockner, and their two daughters Kat and Hidee, offer a great choice of rockabilly clothing, garage memorabilia and themed vintage collectables. “It all comes down to our passion for this lifestyle that we’ve been into for as long as we can remember,” says Derek. They initially started a rockabilly themed market, and the dresses and accessories sold so well that they expanded into garage memorabilia. “It’s a good way to set up sheds and bars as old time garages, and a great way to furnish a man cave,” says Derek. They cater for all sizes from XS to XXXXL in women’s clothing and medium to XXXL in men's shirts, as well as stocking kids’ clothing. The Poison Kandy team are happy to assist your search for that unique nostalgic gift or to complete your rockabilly look. Gift vouchers are also available.

By Kylie Hawkins I am, always have been and always will be a Witch. Over the years, different aspects of not only Witchcraft but other traditions and modalities have intrigued me so I find it hard to put a label on myself in so much as the type of Witch I am. I am a Gypsy, drawn to all things Celtic especially Ireland. I believe that animals are sacred and we are blessed to share this Earth with them which is the reason I was called to become a veterinary nurse over 20 years ago and I still work alongside them to this day.

Glasshouse Mountains Advancement Network Is it a Rat or Yellow-footed Antechinus!
Friends and neighbours have often commented to me that they have a mouse or rat in their home, and, as in a recent case, one even came to me to borrow a rat trap. I only realised what the ‘rat’ was when told that it was in a cupboard and had left a pile of poo or droppings in one corner. This is typical behaviour of the Yellow-footed Antechinus or Antechinus flavipes. In other words they can be very tidy creatures! Antechinus are marsupial mice, not rodents, and in size are between a rat and a mouse. The droppings are much larger than those of a mouse and do not have a characteristic ‘rodent’ smell. They have rather flat heads, pointy noses and rather rusty brown coloured bodies. Apparently Photo courtesy of Alan one toe is missing a nail if you can get close enough to observe. They can be seen night or day, Wynn Land for Wildlife officer for Sunshine Coast can readily climb curtains or walls, and appear Council less shy than mice or rats. I have often observed their characteristic jerky movement as they scurry across the floor. They love to nest in clothes or linen cupboards where they can produce eight or more young which attempt to suckle from teats in an immature pouch. The young are carried around on the back of the female for some time. Sounds totally exhausting doesn’t it! However, perhaps it is worse for the male who spends up to two weeks in a frenzy of mating with as many females as possible and then dies of exhaustion. A short but happy life! Antechinus are wonderful predators making a meal of cockroaches, insects and even mice.

Koalas on the Sunshine Coast
Once plentiful and now hard to find, 80% of koala habitat in Australia has already disappeared. Habitat loss and fragmentation is the greatest threat facing koalas today and this increases the koala’s vulnerability to bush fires, domestic dog attacks and being hit on the roads. Sensitive urban design should be provided to support wildlife to move freely throughout the environment. Koalas, along with kangaroos, are recognised as an Australian tourism icon enhancing the need for their protection. Each individual koala has a number of habitat trees (usually old growth with forks), which are called the ‘Home Range Trees’ and are usually up to 43ha in area. These trees provide shelter and food throughout the koala’s life. Koalas can tell whether a tree ‘belongs’ to another koala or not, it would be like us walking into someone else’s home. These home trees however overlap so social interaction can occur between families. Removal of these trees can cause the koala family to lose both its food and shelter as it cannot simply move next door into another koala family’s home. Even after a koala has died, other koalas won’t move into the ‘empty’ home range for about a year, which is the time it takes for the scent markings and scratches of the old owner to disappear. Koalas like a variety of different Eucalypts. Koalas sniff the leaves to detect toxin levels before eating. It is crucial to plant trees in suitable soils with the right amount of drainage. If a tree is growing in a less than ideal location it will suffer moisture and nutrient stress, and produce chemicals (terpenes, phenols) that discourage koalas from eating them. Of concern is the Steve Irwin Way / Caloundra Road Interchange that will wipe out 24ha plus of koala habitat, endangered frog habitat and a number of large 300-year-old trees. We have an alternative design for the interchange to go ahead that will protect all of the above, but Main Roads will not listen. They have stated they are not interested. If you would like to know more take a look at the Iconic Forest website http:// iconicforest.wix.com/sunshinecoast and sign our petition online.

Daintree Pine
Gymnostoma australianum
With Christmas just around the corner how would you like to have a rare living fossil in your lounge room, patio or backyard? A plant whose ancestors would have seen the passing of the dinosaurs and the formation of our Great Southern land. Fossil records show the Daintree Pine has been around approximately 50 million years since the time of Gondwana. Today it is found in only a handful of small sites in the World Heritage listed Daintree National Park of FNQ. The Daintree Pine is not actually a pine at all but a primitive member of the Casuarina family. The female flowers are red to pink and they are followed by fruits resembling Casuarina cones. It is a very attractive bushy plant which maintains a lovely conical shape that provides great habitat for small nesting birds. This is Australia’s answer to a Christmas tree and it grows beautifully here in SE QLD. It grows approximately 3 to 6m high x 2m wide and prefers full sun to semi shade in a well drained situation. It makes a wonderful pot specimen for many years. If you would like more information on this tree or any other native plants drop in and see Simon or Melissa at Go Green Rainforest Nursery, 2620 Steve Irwin Way, Glenview. Phone 5494 5980.

Glasshouse Country Ministers Fellowship Chris Johnson Glasshouse Country Baptist Church It must be hard being a kid in Majorca in Spain. They don’t get Christmas presents on Christmas day. They have to wait. They have to wait until the Wise men turn up on January 6. In Majorca, the Procession of the Three Kings is a huge day. The kings arrive by boat on their camels and donkeys and, with the help of their servants, visit the houses of children bringing them presents and toys. Tens of thousands of people turn up to meet them. But still it would be hard to wait those 11 days and even then the Wise men don’t come until late afternoon! Waiting is never easy. Surprisingly the Advent was originally about waiting. The Christmas term Advent comes from the Latin word for ‘coming.’ The purpose of the season was to look toward the coming of Christ to earth; it was a season that focused on waiting. As early as the fourth century A.D., Christians fasted during this season and ended their fasts with celebrations either of the arrival of the Wise men or of the baptism of Jesus. Trouble is we have never liked waiting - and so today we have replaced the waiting for Jesus with Celebrating, and that in turn has degenerated

into the buying and getting stuff. Our present celebration of the greatest event in world history has been rewritten so marketers can move products off the shelves. Advent is about waiting, and waiting contributes little to the gross domestic. Yet waiting is a characteristic of God’s people. In the Old days they were waiting for their messiah’s coming. Today we wait for the Messiah’s return. Christians are people who wait. My hope for me and for you this Christmas is that sometime in the business that life brings we will find time to wait and find Jesus - the reason for the season. Have a great Christmas

Landsborough Loggers Cricket Club
Contributed by Dean Stainsby A Grade – played their first game against CooroyEumundi under lights at the Landsborough Sports Club on Tunnel Ridge Road. It was always going to be a tough contest coming up against a very good side who batted first and put an imposing score of all out for 229. Landsborough’s innings finished at all out for 128. Despite the result, the match was hailed as a great success due to approval from the SCCA to allow Day/ Night games to be played at the Landsborough Sports club. Landsborough becomes only the second club on the
Sunshine Coast to gain this approval, and will seek to hold more Day/Night games as the season progresses. Landsborough face Yandina at home next Saturday. C Grade – travelled to Cooroy to face Cooroy-Eumundi in a very important match. With both teams needing a victory to keep themselves in contention for the One Day final, it was always going to be a close contest. Landsborough captain Nathan Schulze won the toss and elected to bat in very warm conditions. The decision proved to be a good one as Landsborough piled on 228 runs after their 40 overs. Perennial run scorer Matthew Norton made an impressive 91, whilst Josh Quinn and Stephen Hocking pitched in with cameos of 32 and 29 respectively. Cooroy-Eumundi got off to a shaky start when their opening batsman was run-out off the fielding of Matthew Norton. Ben Haycroft took a splendid catch off the bowling of David Carter to have the hosts reeling at 2 for not many. Cooroy-Eumundi’s opening batsman Andrew Bowden threatened to take the game away from Landsborough, making an impressive 150, before being run-out by Dean Stainsby. Unfortunately for Cooroy, he did not have enough support at the other end as the Loggers managed to get Cooroy all out for 206. Matthew Norton took 4 wickets to go with his 91 runs in a Man of the Match display. The C Grade face Yandina away next Saturday.

LEO July 23 – August 22 With Mars now entering into the gracious Libran sign and in your information sector, this will help you put a stylish spin on your words. Perhaps some exaggeration may be forthcoming also, so it is best to double check data before passing it on. Gift shopping is ideal especially for high tech items. VIRGO August 23 – September 22 If you are shopping this week, you may feel rushed and spend too much by impulsive grabbing of items that would be best left to purchase another day. However, you are deep into the holiday spirit and want to share, so your good hearted nature is bound to see social allies support your efforts now. LIBRA September 23 – October 22 Be on the lookout for an opportunity to build something lasting, and you should be able to stabilise your career. As Mars goes into Libra there is a tendency to make yourself more energetic, assertive, and physically active, ready to take the initiative in relationships or to gain what you desire. SCORPIO October 23 – November 22 With Mercury in Sagittarius helping you to organise finances, we also have Mars entering your karmic sector and so spiritual pursuits whisper over your shoulder that soulful journeys are as necessary as material matters. A big idea gets benevolent and stable backing, expanding your future.

ARIES March 21 – April 20 Emotions this week are strong for you but they are an unreliable guide for deciding which course of action to take. For example Christmas may find you impulsive and you may be so wrapped up in yourself that you miss the big picture. With the planet Mars moving into Libra, it prompts new partnerships. TAURUS April 21 – May 21 See if you can find time for a local lunch date, or spend time with one of your family members. This will provide warm emotional horizons. Start your holiday spending in small stages and get to the shopping centres early. The good news is an opportunity by Jupiter and Saturn expand relationships. GEMINI May 22 – June 21 This week as Mars enters the romantic sign of Libra passions arise and you energise them with more love and pleasure. This is a good week to enjoy children in your life as well, although they may not be your own. Jupiter gives you sensible long range plans for financial strategies now. CANCER June 22 – July 22 There is a perfect alignment of Jupiter and Saturn so that optimises your ongoing personal goals. If you still need inspiration, Mercury and Uranus wraps up your smart ideas in innovative phases to advance your ambitions. This is the beginning of advancing long range tactics for holiday hustle.

SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 Your emotional climate is as turbulent as a cyclone! It’s easy to set off temperamental loved ones with a foolish statement, so tread carefully. Slow your pace down so that you can stay in charge and in control of your actions. With Mercury now in your sign, a stream of ideas inspires you delightfully. CAPRICORN December 23 – January 19 Ride out any difficulties or differences between home affairs and work requirements, even if there is some hidden trepidation about knowing which need to fill. A sudden inspiration will show the way. Mars crusades into Libra now, crystallising your focus onto ambitions and practicality. AQUARIUS January 20 – February 19 Mars has now entered the peacemaking Libran sign, enticing happy travels with your partner. You may have to dig for the truth or defend your beliefs and you will probably do so with a gracious courtesy, even if challenged. Ambitions are strategically anchored and relish great expectations. PISCES February 20 – March 20 This week there is a Jupiter Saturn benefit, taking your life dreams, and giving them form, productive purpose and expansive potential. Do follow through on careful, yet bold plans now, and you will see the results by May. Long range future plans see you succeed with hard working enthusiasm.

of him, he sees the old man. Amazed that the Moped could pass his Ferrari, he gives it more gas and passes the Moped at 275mph. He's feeling pretty good until he looks in his mirror and sees the old man gaining on him. He takes the Ferrari all the way up to 320 mph. Again, he sees the Moped bearing down on him. The Ferrari is flat out, and there's nothing he can do! Suddenly, the Moped ploughs into the back of his Ferrari. Unbelievably the old man is still alive. He runs up to the banged-up old guy and says, “I'm a doctor...Is there anything I can do for you?” The old man whispers, “unhook my braces from your side view mirror!” Submitted by Hugh Jones, Beerwah

An elderly man on a Moped, pulls up next to a doctor at traffic lights. The old man looks over at the sleek shiny car and asks, “what kind of car you got there, sonny?” The doctor replies, “a Ferrari GTO, it can do up to 320 miles an hour,” he said proudly. “Mind if I take a look inside?” “No problem,” replies the doctor. So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Sitting back on his Moped, the old man says, “nice car, but I'll stick with my Moped!” Just then the light changes and the doctor floors it to 160mph. Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror getting closer. He slows down and suddenly WHOOOOSSSHHH something flies past him. He speeds up to see what it is and up ahead

Studio Ink
If you’ve been thinking about getting a tattoo, call in to see the crew at Studio Ink Beerwah for professional, realistic and honest advice. Specialising in portraits, full custom and freehand work, they can help develop an idea from the initial concept through to the final work of art. The Studio Ink team consist of Gary, Levi and Tegan who are happy to use your design or theirs. Health Department approved and with over 25 years combined experience; all work is carried out in strict sterile conditions with single use disposable needles / tubes for complete peace of mind. Book in early so you don’t miss out over Christmas. From portraits of a loved one to famous faces, they have the professional skills to make a much-wanted dream a lasting reality. Reasons for having a tattoo vary – in memorial, a wedding, anniversary, birth or favourite pet – all these milestones can result in the want of a permanent reminder.
Business feature Gift vouchers are also available for that unique Christmas present or individual gift. Owner Gary Gray brings a wealth of experience to Studio Ink having previously owned Shades of Gray in Caboolture from 1999 until 2011. As an artistic kid who always enjoyed drawing, Gary initially started his apprenticeship on the Sunshine Coast. He then moved into setting up his own studio and has now returned to the Sunshine Coast with Studio Ink in Beerwah open for just over two years. Tattoo artist Levi Bell originally started as an apprentice at Gary’s Shades of Gray Studio and then moved on to become one of the leading tattooists in his field. He has been part of the Studio Ink crew for the last six months. Both Gary and Levi are national and international multi award winners. Open Tuesdays to Saturdays 9.30am – 5.00pm and later by appointment. Find them on Facebook at Studio Ink Beerwah, call them on 5494 6616
