Hi Everyone Well finally things are getting back on track – we actually have a five day working week this week and almost everything in our office has been unpacked and now has a place. Choosing to move office over the Easter period seemed like such a smart move, somehow I thought that I could be so organised that I would be able to organise a smooth transition for everyone and that there would be no glitches. Wow, who was I kidding! Moving is a complex task that just has to be gotten through and not something you can control every aspect of. However we have been settling in well and have had plenty of locals drop in to see us, and admire the new premises. We didn’t realise just how much speculation there had been as to who would be moving into the building. We have been pretty vigilant with

our renovation to keep considering the ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’ approach, and now that we have found a home for everything – with plenty of items we no longer require have been sent to the recycle market. Although we have one big thing that we do have to sell and that is a Hyundai Getz. It is a cute little 3 door, black, 2004 model and best off all it is automatic. The car has been well loved and cared for with all its servicing done by Hyundai. Check out the ad at the bottom of the classifieds. And thanks to everyone who had popped in to welcome us to Glass House Mountains. Regards,

The Royal Treatment

With Mother’s Day and the Royal wedding just recently, we have received a story that boldly states for Princess Katherine to move over and take a backseat as mothers took the royal limelight at Glasshouse Country Christian College during Mothers’ Prep Night.

Each of the prep rooms were set up for different activities but the highlight was the ‘Throne Room’. To the strains of Roy Orbison’s ‘Pretty Women’, each child escorted their mum down a fairy-light pathway to the beautifully decorated throne. The mums were then asked to sit for an official portrait with their very own little prince or princess. Every mum deserves the royal treatment now and again.

Mother's Day

The jewels at the Royal Wedding paled in comparison to the love and care that went into the tiaras and necklaces the Prep children made for their mums. Little faces shone proudly as they sang songs and read poetry for their mums.

Kevin’s art on show at car boot sale

The Beerburrum School of Arts committee are running the Beerburrum School of Arts Car Boot Sale which take place on May 21. A highlight will be ceramicist Kevin Grealy and his works. According to Beerburrum School of Arts Secretary Bronwyn Bossley, “Kevin has also been a great supporter of our School of Arts hall.” Ms Bossley also said a car boot sale can bring out many talented people, such as Kevin, who are part of the local community. Working in his studio at the Old Bakehouse, Kevin produces wood fired stoneware and porcelain, some of which is represented in several State galleries, the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, the Australian National Gallery in Canberra and in ceramic museums in the People’s Republic of China - in Shanghai, Jindezhen, Shanxi and Foshan. Kevin’s work is also represented in several publications in Australia and in China and he was commissioned to design and construct several large scale public artworks for Australia’s Bicentenary Celebrations as well as corporate gifts for large companies such as the Ronson Corporation and Australian Paper Mills’ 75th Anniversary. Kevin has worked as a ceramic consultant for the heavy clay industry in Australia, for the ceramic industry in Vietnam and as a design consultant for the Hualien Ocean Marine Project in Taiwan. In 2004, Kevin was appointed Advisor and Ceramicist Kevin Ambassador to the city of Jingdezhen for its Grealy who will Millennium of Porcelain Celebrations. Kevin feature at the is presently assisting the Friendly Cities May car boot sale committee of the Sunshine Coast Council in negotiations with the city of Jingdezhen and is planning a tour to visit that city for its International Ceramic Fair in October. As an artist Kevin believes that in order to grow, you must keep moving on to new ideas and challenges. This presents the problem of what to do with remaining works from previous periods. He has chosen to present a selection of past works for the Beerburrum Car Boot sale. Beerburrum School of Arts Hall Anzac Ave, on Saturday, May 21, Saturday. Open from 7.00am to 2.00pm.

National Volunteer Week - lend a hand in the Outback Outback Australia is a stunning place. But to live and work in far-flung parts of the country can be tough. Frontier Services is calling for people to lend a hand in the Outback as part of National Volunteer Week from May 9 - 15 through its program Outback Links. Volunteers are placed with individuals and families living in remote locations who need help for a short period of time. Last year about 900 volunteers provided help for more than 400 families in the bush. “People in rural and particularly remote Australia do not have the same support structures that are available to people in cities and towns,” said Outback Links coordinator Davida Melksham. “The nearest person to ask for help can be a 100 kilometres away.” Volunteers have travelled the breadth of the country to some of its most remote locations, across desert and bush and through towns with little more than a pub.

One volunteer caught a ride on the postal service plane to Cape York. Ms Melksham said there was a huge demand for volunteers to lighten the load in remote Australia, particularly for families battered by natural disasters this year. “At times, these families must cope with added pressures, whether it is flooding or drought, an illness, financial strain or the stress of seasonal workloads. Having an extra set of hands around helps them to get through.” The volunteers help out in lots of ways. They might be asked to work on the garden, feed the animals, put up a fence, assist with computers or plumbing jobs, look after children or to give a hand on the farm. Outback Links volunteers Matt and Sarah Smith and their four children drove 1,000 kilometres to an isolated cattle station to lend a hand to a stranger in flood-affected Queensland over their summer break.

SES Carry out Mt Tibrogargan Rescue by Dave Erbacher On Tuesday, May 3, the Glasshouse Mountains SES Group was called to extract an injured person off Mt Tibrogargan. Two young Brisbane sisters who were experienced climbers and well prepared had a successful climb to the top of Tibrogargan. However, when nearing the final steep descent a shower of rain made the rocks very slippery. The 22-year-old slipped and fell four metres and sustained fractures to her left arm. The SES received the call at 3.00pm and a team of six members responded. On arrival, Paramedic Alan from Beerwah and a crew from Buderim attended to the injured. Once the patient was secured in the stretcher, ropes were utilised to lower her down the rock face and to a

www.gcnews.com.au

position further down the difficult track. From this position the patient was stretchered out to the waiting ambulance. The extraction which was completed at 6.00pm was made more difficult by the constant rain from the storm which swept the area. The climbers were most appreciative of the efforts of the Ambulance Officers and the SES Team of Tim, Louise, Ross, Dave, Graeme and Roger. SES Group Leader Robert Barry reinforced that it did not matter how experienced climbers were, circumstances and weather can take an unexpected turn and in this case the bare rocks became slippery because of the rain.

Outback Links began in 2006 and relies on the generosity of public donations. The volunteer workforce includes tradespeople, nurses, teachers, speech pathologists, retired people, backpackers and other travellers. The only requirement is a willingness to pitch in and do whatever is needed. To become a volunteer go to www.frontierservices.org/ outbacklinks or phone 1300 731 349. Accounting

Groups that currently meet regularly include children’s play groups, craft groups, children church, Neighbourhood Watch meetings, life drawing, spiritualist church, weight loss group, counselling, Hoy group and more. “Groups are always looking for people to come and join them,” Kelly said. “Or if someone else

wants to start their own group they can do that as well. Hall hire is very reasonable, it works out to be $20.00 for four hours.” Another important community service they provide is Emergency Relief for people who are finding things a bit tough. Emergency relief assistance is available on Thursdays from 9.00am to 12.00noon. On other days frozen bread and non-perishable items are available. Also available to the community are office facilities. “We assist people who come in to use the computers or need to fax, scan, photocopy and laminate. Internet facilities are available for a gold coin donation but people doing on-line job searches can use it for free,” Kelly said. There is also a referral service if people need to be connected to people who can help them, such as for legal advice, housing or benefits. GHMNC has wheelchair access, fully servicable kitchen (with oven, microwave, kettle, crockery and cutlery), a whiteboard, DVD and TV for presentations, tables and more. It seats up to 50 people. Opening hours are Monday to Friday 9.00am to 12.00noon. “It’s a really great place. Come down, have a look and see how people can use this facility to their advantage. Any groups, clubs, events…use it,” said Kelly. Since GHMNC is a non-profit organisation Kelly said donations of non-perishable goods are always welcome.

New entry statements for Beerwah Pineapples are synonymous to Beerwah and Glasshouse Country and that will soon become apparent to everyone who visits. The hinterland township is set to have its own unique entry sign as part of Sunshine Coast Council’s Caloundra City Image Project. Division 1 Councillor Anna Grosskreutz said the design for the new sign had been completed and tenders would be called for in the near future. “The pineapple industry has been and continues to be such an important one for Beerwah and that will be recognised and symbolised in the new town entry signs,” she said. “Local artist Sarah Rayner came up with the designs and they will materialise over the next few months as the signs are constructed and installed at the entry to the town – the intersection of Steve Irwin Way and the new town by-pass. “This continues council’s work in designing and installing unique town entry signs in the Glasshouse Country Region, including Landborough, Beerburrum and Glass House Mountains.” Cr Grosskreutz said council recently installed the first of these township statements at Glass House Mountains as part of the placemaking project for the township. “Steve Irwin Way is an iconic road with wonderfull landmarks along the scenic drive and the entry statements to each township will add to the look and feel of our region,” she said.

Council takes a new road to recycling When it comes to local roads on the Sunshine Coast, everything old is new again. Sunshine Coast Council is driving a new approach to utilising old asphalt and gravel road base that was previously trucked into landfills or spoil sites for disposal.

Asset Management and Works Portfolio Councillor Ted Hungerford said council’s Civil Works Services department was recycling previously unwanted road material by incorporating it into local gravel and sealed road maintenance and construction operations. “This initiative has minimal costs to council but provides numerous benefits, including keeping concrete and asphalt debris out of landfills, saving landfill space,” he said. “The recycled material is used in a range of activities and this reduces the need for gravel mining. “Using our own recycled concrete, gravel and asphalt for road works also reduces the pollution involved in trucking material from around the Sunshine Coast and outer areas.” Cr Hungerford said the recycled materials were typically a product of council’s Road Rehabilitation Program or from road profiling work.

Hi everyone Our chamber will be busy over the coming weeks and we would like to extend an invitation to local business people to come along and see what we’re all about – and to meet up with the dynamic group of business people that are already actively involved in the Chamber. Over the past few months the Chambers management committee has been working hard to create a schedule of events that will support the needs and interests of our overall membership base. We have developed a schedule of events that included formal meetings as well as networking events and an annual dinner. General meetings – Wednesday, May 18 is the date of our next General meeting for the year, the meeting will be held at the Glasshouse Sports Club from 5.30pm. This is a formal meeting with an agenda that works through a range of issues and activities that the Chamber is currently working on. Annual dinner – this year’s annual dinner is on Wednesday, June 8. This is timed to coincide with the Glasshouse Country Festival – an excellent community initiative developed by one of our members, Bob McLean. Our special guest speaker at the dinner will be Mayor Bob Abbott – who will be sharing his views on the business priorities for Council in 2012 and beyond. It is great for the business community in Division 1 to finally have the chance to provide the Mayor with our views and ideas on our local area. The dinner will be held at the Beerwah Hotel from 6.00pm, tickets are $25.00 for members and $30.00 for non members. Tickets must be pre-purchased. To RSVP please phone Sarah at Glasshouse Country News on 5438 7445. Glasshouse Country Sustainability and Garden Expo – the Chamber will also have a stall at the expo which will be staffed by Chamber members, so if you are planning to be at the expo and you have any questions then stop and have a chat with us. Phone book cover – the Chamber has again produced a stylish phone book sticker – which has been a great promotional tool for members over the years, you can expect to see the new one in your Glasshouse Country News to coincide with the arrival of the next Yellow Pages phone book. I look forward to seeing you all at one of the upcoming events.

Reminder – Microsoft/Windows call scam still doing the rounds! I covered this topic some time back – but it seems it needs a refresh! Not a day goes by in our stores where we don’t have a customer come in reporting a phone call from Microsoft or Windows. For those who are unaware, this is how the scam works, first someone from India, the Philippines or similar will call you and tell you that they are from ‘Microsoft’ or ‘Windows’ and they have detected ‘errors’ on your computer. They will then instruct you to do a few things on your computer to show you the error messages. Finally they will advise you that for a fee, they can remotely access your computer and fix these errors for you. The facts are that under no circumstances will someone from Microsoft ever call you about your computer. There will ALWAYS be errors in the error log on your computer – this is normal. If you give them remote access to your computer, they can access your personal data. If you have provided one of these scammers with access to your computer, we would at the very least, recommend taking your machine to a reputable computer repair place for a check up and full virus scan. If you have provided your credit card to scammers, we would recommend that in addition to the above, cancelling the card immediately and reporting the matter to your bank. These scammers are unscrupulous, and based overseas – providing them your credit card details will very likely lead to other unauthorised transactions on your card. It is best practice to never provide your credit card to anyone who has called you unless you are 100 per cent confident you know who they are, and who they work for.

Play Time As you know, I’m all about free things. Better still are those free things that are totally entertaining. Today we take a quick look at two 100 per cent free and extremely entertaining websites. A Blast From the Past: www.pica-pic.com Children of the late 70’s and early 80’s will surely love this website. The very generous creators of this site have taken the time to re-make many of the early 'Game and Watch' monochrome games, ready for you to access and play online. This site is just one of the many amazing pieces coming out of Hipopotam Studio - www. hipopotamstudio.pl Yes, the '.pl' at the end of the web address means it’s a Polish website, but don’t be turned off - this is one of the most brilliantly creative sites on the web. Big is Best: www.worldsbiggestpacman.com In a recent article I touched on the fact that everyone loves Pacman. I say 'fact' because when Google put a mini version of the game on their home page, users across the globe collectively spent over 4.8 million hours playing it in just one day. Now enter World’s Biggest Pacman - this site is an ingenious effort to allow anyone, anywhere, to create their own Pacman level and integrate it with the evergrowing matrix of levels already online. When users then play the game and exit the level via one of the side doors, they are then thrust into the next user-created level, rather than re-appearing on the opposite side of the screen. Effectively, the user can traverse a massive grid of random interlocked levels. The verdict: free and fun = a clever combination.

All About ME!

Sharon Lewis, owner of the brand new ‘All about ME’ baby store in Landsborough is spoiling the hinterland area for choice with her range of Baby and Children’s Clothes including pre-walker shoes, nursery furniture, baby gifts etc and there’s new winter stock arriving daily. Not only is ‘All About ME’ the only baby shop in the hinterland area, it is also a stockist of Chenille baby clothing.

Sharon Lewis

The shop is only three weeks old, and would love the support of the community – Sharon welcomes people to pop in and say ‘Hello’, especially grandparents, so they can view the range and hopefully spread the word about the cute, unique items available at affordable prices. Sharon is revelling in the business and says “the highlight has been the great comments I get every day from the grandparents talking about their grand children. I love grandparents.” In terms of the stock, Sharon explains, “I source my clothes from far and wide and 95 per cent is Australian made. I support local hand-made clothing and gifts. “As a mother of three beautiful daughters and five grandsons with my first granddaughter arriving in June, I understand a lot about babies and their needs.” Sharon adds that she is also the only stockist on the Sunshine Coast of Teenie-Boppers t, pre-teen bras, just like mum’s, with new lines arriving every week. ‘All About ME’ is located on the Maleny Road, Landsborough (opposite the Museum). Shop hours are 9.00am - 5,00pm weekdays, 9.00am - 1.00pm Saturdays. Contact Sharon on 0410 074 354.

With winter just around the corner, now is the time to consider installing carpet as it gives warmth and insulation. Peter from Aussie Carpets reckons whether you’re going for comfy and casual or luxurious and formal, carpet is up to the task. “It also offers the budget-friendly and durable flooring option, which can be easily installed over almost any surface, hiding subfloor irregularities. “Carpet is high-performing which means, if looked after correctly, you can get many years of pleasure before replacing it,” he said. Aussie Carpets and Vinyl owners, Peter and Jo invite you to pop into their showroom at Beerwah today and be surprised by their huge collection of samples of carpet, tiles, blinds, vinyl sheeting and vinyl planks. Peter can also bring samples to your home; they offer free measure and quotes and no job is too small. Aussie Carpets & Vinyl are offering an End of Financial Year Sale with three rooms Carpeted (based on 37m2) from $990.00 installed on Commercial quality underlay. * While stocks last. Aussie Carpets & Vinyl also stock a large range of ceramic tile adhesive and accessories at ‘tradies’ prices. The showroom is open Monday to Saturday and is next door to the S&G Furniture at Beerwah.

Metamorphosis for Eclectic Dreams Eclectic Dreams in Landsborough has had another metamorphosis, Heidi and Anne have decided it was time for a revamp and the final results are definitely enchanting. One customer recently Heidi from Eclectic Dreams described coming into the shop was like looking through her grandmother’s jewel box, she loved the experience so much she just wanted to stay and keep on discovering more treasures. Heidi hand picks the jewelry, home wares and gift lines on her extensive travels. She describes her buying style as basically “I bring back anything that blows my hair back.” “The majority of our clothing lines cater for the discerning mature woman who wants to express her individuality, we are able to create a great range to meet our customer’s needs by designing and having the garments manufacturer ourselves,” said Heidi. Anne brings her healing hands massage and teaching techniques to the eclectic mix at the shop; she is highly sought after up and down the coast. To celebrate their metamorphosis they will be celebrating their version of the three Rs with a Reno, Revamp, and Reopening Party on Thursday, May 12.

The girls love a good party and will be kicking things off at 6.00pm with nibbles and drinks with live music and heaps of giveaways. There will be 10 per cent discount off all clothing for the night including new season stock recently arrived. Come along and try a reading for $10.00, or a wondering neck massage, some henna tattooing and grab something to eat at the 3 Divas. They will also be serving Moroccan themed dinner specials along with their usual gluten free menu. You won’t want to miss the night’s blazing drama as they plan to finish the night off with some fire twirling. "We have so many great friends out in the community who love this space and the energy we create here. The night is all about saying a big thank you for enjoying what we do as much as we do," Heidi said. Heidi recently heard about the funds needed by 22 year old, James King for an operation on his brain tumour and to assist she has organised a raffle that will be drawn on the night. Prizes so far include a $100.00 voucher for Eclectic Dreams, a voucher for a massage with Anne from Eclectic Dreams, eye enhancement cosmetic tattooing from Clynic (valued at $450.00), an O2 facial from Clynic (valued at $150.00), a hair pamper session from Janti Hair Salon, and a Kahuna massage. Tickets are $1.00 and can be purchased from Eclectic Dreams throughout the week.

Community Group Updates

View Club Eumundi Trip

Contributed by Pauline Clarke, Publicity Officer

On Wednesday, May 4, the Glasshouse Country View Club enjoyed a day at Eumundi Markets where all manner of goods were bought to stock up the pantry and the wardrobe. Despite the retail sector complaining of hard times, the Wednesday markets are still extremely popular with the usual hordes of people and

a great atmosphere. The next Club meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 18 at the Glasshouse Mountains Sports Club at 11.00am for an 11.30am start. This meeting will include lunch and a special guest speaker, Dr James Lergeffner, who will give us a light hearted talk on ‘Baby Boomers’. VIEW (Voice Interest and Education of Women) clubs are a valued part of the Smith Family, committed to helping disadvantaged Australian children by unlocking opportunities through education. We are always on the look out for new members to join our friendly group. If you are interested please contact Joy on 5439 9094 or Lydia on 5438 7894 who will be pleased to supply any further information about the Club.

Beerwah CWA Contributed by Del Davis

Beerwah members are excited with their new venture which is a craft and hobby morning to be held on Thursday, May 19 at our room on Simpson Street, Beerwah. Bring along your own craft or learn to make paper beads, you can enjoy a natter, morning tea and friendship. We have many talented people in this area and we would encourage you to attend and pass on your knowledge to others. Arrangements are well in hand for the forthcoming popular Cent Sale, on Thursday, May 26. As usual there will be a well laden table of goods as prizes, morning tea will commence at 9.30am with the usual cost of $3.00. As a service to the community, the members have embarked on a new format for Hoy. As for the

This way players will choose their prize after each game. Come along on Tuesday, June 7 for a guaranteed morning of fun. What a busy month for all members as along with Peachester Branch, we will be providing a three course meal at the combined International Day on Tuesday, May 31 at Peachester commencing at 11.00am. Everyone is invited to come along to hear our guest speakers and learn about East Timor. Enquiries to Coral 5494 9775. In the meantime the CWA building will receive a paint uplift. I will tell you more about this later.

Fundraiser in the Jungle The Women’s Auxiliary of The Beerwah and Peachester RSL Sub branch Inc. recently held a fundraiser fashion parade compared by their President Kay Farrell. Over 60 people came along on the day held at Simply Spoilt Hideaway Restaurant at Peachester and enjoyed tropical fruit entrees made by Kay which was followed by a lovely two course lunch in a jungle setting. The highlight of the day was Tarzan who escorted the models and the $700.00 that was raised to help our war veterans.

William Fraser, killed in action in World War 1 Twenty six year old William (Willie) Fraser was a member of an intrepid band of young Queenslanders when he learned to fly in Brisbane in 1915. Willie was the son of Janet Fraser (nee Grigor) and John Fraser of Cooloolabin near Yandina. Grandson of William and Mary Grigor who established Bankfoot House in 1868, William grew up in Cooloolabin and attended Yandina State School. 14 |

| MAY 11 2011

Welfare Officer for the Beerwah and Peachester RSL Jenny Boyes with Tarzan With other cadets, Willie learned to fly with Major Thomas McLeod and Lieutenant Valdemar Rendle in a group called the Queensland Volunteer Flying Civilians. The training aircraft was a reconstructed Caudron, originally imported from England and flown in flying demonstrations in 1913 in Queensland. Major McLeod took seven pilots to the UK where they joined the Royal Flying Corps. All served with the RFC on the Western Front in World War 1. Willie was a Second Lieutenant in the 7th Squadron. The ‘Official History of Australia in the War of 1914 – 18 Volume VIII’ states, ‘There were many Australian pilots in the Royal Air Force . . . in the earlier part of the war, the number of airmen from all oversea dominions was said to amount to over fifty per cent, in both the Royal Naval Air Service and the Royal Flying Corps’. Lt W Fraser of Cooloolabin is one of dozens named in the Official History.

Glasshouse Country Toastmasters Contributed by Martine Goedhart

The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself. When I first read these words, I was amazed at how accurately they reflect our Toastmasters experience. I believe it takes true inspiration or vision of who and what we can become to draw us through the door of our very first Toastmasters meeting. Whether it was vision of the person you could become and the skills you could develop, or it was fear or lack of confidence that pushed you through the door, Welcome! Welcome to the safe and supportive environment where greatness happens! When I was a relatively new Toastmaster, I believed I was a typical member. I thought most people came to the program looking for the same things I did. But what an amazing revelation this experience has been! I find people joining clubs worldwide who already have very sophisticated communication or leadership skills, people who already possess confidence and self-esteem. I gradually realised there really is no typical new Toastmaster. As we mentor and support one another in our club environment, we share our own personal greatness. Toastmaster International is in the education business and we change the lives of men and women around the world, one person at the time, one assignment at the time, each time we receive feedback in the form of applause or a suggestion for improvement. Our Toastmasters program empowers us to break the bonds of captivity, to shrug off our lack of self esteem and lack of confidence and to move through the various levels of communication and leadership development, experiencing mini steps of success each time we challenge ourselves. My wish for each of us is that we spend some time recognising and acknowledge our own personal greatness. Remember that your greatness will be unique to you. We at Glasshouse Toastmasters open our doors every second and fourth Thursday of the month from 9.00am for a 9.30am start in the Church on the Rise, Peachester Road Beerwah. Why don’t you come through and have a look for yourself what Toastmasters is all about. You are more than welcome. Like to talk to one of our members. Call Martine on 5496 9855 or Gweneth on 5496 9962. Willie was killed in action in France on October 25, 1916. He is remembered in the Flying Services Memorial at Arras in northern France. Willie’s younger brother, John Fraser, enlisted in the Army the following year, and was also killed in action in France. Their parents, Janet and John (Snr) were left with one remaining child, a son named James Fenwick Fraser. There is a memorial to the two young men in Yandina cemetery. Please mark Sunday, June 5 in your diary when Bankfoot House will hold an Open Day as part of a Kero Lamp Heritage Trail, all within the wider Glasshouse Country Festival.

Peachester CWA

Contributed by Coral Beutel (Hon Sec.)

After our successful markets in February our branch assisted Sue Stokes with her wedding reception in the Peachester Hall. We wish Sue and her husband a long happy future. This was followed up by the big CWA Expo in Nambour on March 24 with our state president and vice presidents attending. With over 100 visitors it was an outstanding success. Peachester Branch was represented by Joan Kropp cookery convenor for the Nambour North Coast Division assisted by Bev Wild and Coral Beutel floral art convenor. April was a busy month with our branch making 88 lunch packs for visitors at the floral art garden party held at Margaret Ferris’s. What a wonderful display around the garden with arrangements in the trees, stumps, on logs, you name it, there was a beautiful arrangement there. Congratulations to all who were involved. A big thank you to the horticultural society ladies who helped us out as some of our members were away. We donated CD’s to Maleny Soldiers Memorial Hospital to commemorate ANZAC Day and on April 30 we had over 20 stalls at our Mother’s Day Markets in the Peachester Hall. With donated goods for the flood appeal still to be moved on, this was quite a task. After our meeting on May 5 we were joined by members of Beerwah QCWA for a Mother’s Day Luncheon at Pasta D’Vine. Thank you Sue and staff for making our day so enjoyable with such delightful food and friendly service. Winners of our Mothers Day Raffle are Aileen Wrayford, Kris, Emma Carr, Joan Kropp, and Bev Gower. Congratulations and thank you to all who bought tickets. Better luck next time. Also a big thank you to all who helped in any way to set up the hall for the markets and put up banners and signs etc. Your help is truly appreciated. A Big thank you to the public. Without your patronage we could not function.

President John Innes introduced Denise Owen who presented Joan Kropp with the Irene Owen trophy for being the most successful competitor for the previous year. John and Pam Innes visited the Nambour Garden Club for their Friendship Day. It was a very enjoyable day as the Nambour club has a large membership and guest speaker was Jerry Colbey-Williams of the ABC Gardening Australia fame. After the meeting closed, members travelled to Mountain View Nursery for lunch. Barbara Power gave a short talk on growing water plants. Water lillies are best grown in pots for ponds. Fertilise in spring and repot in garden soil in spring every few years. If there are goldfish in the pond, spread some gravel on top of the soil. Water lillies need plenty of sun to flower well. Rosemary Hambleton (owner) spoke about Bat plants. Bat plants are a genus of perennials with rhizomes, grown for their curious flowers. There are two main types of bat plants, white flowers, jacca integrifolia and black flowers, jacca chantrieri. A native variety, jacca leontopetaloides, is also available. Bat plants grow well in pots with a peaty mix in a humid atmosphere in partial shade. Water sparingly during winter. John Innes thanked both Barbara and Rosemary for their interesting talks. Many members took advantage to purchase more plants for their gardens. A reminder that the Spring Flower Show will be held on Friday and Saturday, September 9 and 10. The next meeting will be held in the garden of Rob Morris, Thursday, May 19, at 9.30am. Rob has a large and interesting collection of succulents and will be speaking about them. Visitors are always welcome. For more information phone 5496 9169.

Locked Gates at Skippy Park

Access at Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve

I recently noticed the gates have been locked at Skippy Park in the late afternoon timeframe. I know this has caused joggers, walkers and those who cycle to be forced to climb fences and crawl under the gates. I am sorry for this and when I discovered the problem requested that the gates not be locked. Parts of the park are under construction and if residents can keep an eye on the area at night that would be great. There is also a side gate to the park which requires a rather slushy walk to the cycleway. I will investigate a path connection from the gate.

New Playground for Beerwah

A new playground facility will be installed at Caralan Way Park, in Emma Place, Beerwah. The playground will be an exciting and usable facility for all local residents and general public, and the equipment will be suitable for children aged two – 12 years. The new playground equipment will include a double swing, play and climbing system, a spring toy, and a seat glide, all built on softfall material. Works will commence in June 2011 and the council workmen will endeavour to minimise noise and associated impacts on the nearby community during the construction program.

Wild Dog Baiting

In the Hinterland it is important to keep control of wild dogs. These dogs are dangerous to livestock and pets. Each year the council in conjunction with rural landholders carries out a baiting control program. These people are experienced and know what they are doing. Early May this program is being conducted with residents being notified well in advance. Please ensure household pets remain in their own yards during this time to ensure they don't come in contact with baits not meant for them. Cr Anna is available for meetings, by appointment only, at her Beerwah office located in the BADYAC building, in the Beerwah Sportsground Complex on Roberts Road. Please call 5420 8987 to book a time.

At present the construction of the new car park at Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve has entered stage two, this means the western end of the car park will be completely closed to traffic and is likely to stay this way for at least four weeks or longer depending on weather conditions.

Revaluation of Properties Advice has been received from the Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM) that the new valuations for the 2011/2012 year, originally due to be issued on March 31, will now be issued to the public in early May. In accordance with the new Land Valuation Act 2010 all non-rural land will be valued using site value methodology (as opposed to the current unimproved value methodology). Rural land will continue to be valued using unimproved value. DERM will commence a public information campaign shortly to educate the public about the impact of the new legislation. Once property owners receive their Annual Valuation Notice by mail, they will have 60 days to object to the new valuation. Information about the new valuations and the objection process will be provided online and via a toll free number. Valuation rolls will be available at DERM offices and Council offices. Valuation information and information on major residential localities will be accessible on the DERM website www.derm.qld.gov.au Detailed modelling has commenced to incorporate the new valuations into the Differential General Rates. Further information will be provided in due course. Please let me know if any further information is required.

Camping at the cemetery To the four teenagers who camped at the Beerburrum Cemetery on Friday, April 29. Obviously you know who you are, and hopefully your parents know who you are as well. I had the pleasure of cleaning up the vast array of food scraps and assorted rubbish you left behind. Not only is this rubbish a danger to the health of wildlife, it desecrated the cemetery at which many of Beerburrum’s past residents including soldier settlers are buried. If you live in Beerburrum, you should be ashamed of yourselves. If you don’t live in Beerburrum, you are not welcome back. ‘Not Happy’ Beerburrum

Bye to Bob’s Butchery While it was great to see some new life being injected into Simpson Street with the grand opening of Beerwah’s new gym, Fitness Matters recently, the gloss was somewhat taken off by news of the closure of Bob’s Butchery. The iconic red and white shop will no doubt have a for lease sign in its front window before too long after decades of great ‘local’ service and support to the region. It’s another reminder we need to ‘shop local’, so small businesses that put their necks out and offer continued support to our sporting groups, schools and wider community have a greater chance of survival during the quieter times. Bob and Ling Ling, I’m sure everyone in the region wishes you all the best. Rhys Reynolds, Sunshine Coast Council Division 1 Candidate

Caloundra South Development As a resident of the Sunshine Coast I hereby voice my concerns regarding the proposed Caloundra South Development. The Urban Development Authority Plan devised for this area leaves many questions unanswered: Why are major transport issues not being assessed? The four lane Bruce Highway from Caloundra to Caboolture already experiences frequent traffic standstills. My research reveals that currently the Sunshine Coast region averages 1.7 cars per household, and 70 per cent of its residents commute to work by private vehicle. The proposed development is set to hold 20,000 dwellings, calculated to house 50,000 people, thus generating on average an additional 34,000 vehicles on main and local roads. The major traffic problems currently experienced by Caloundra West/Bellvista Boulevard will seem minor compared to the impact of Caloundra South. Why and how can this development commence before the CAMCOS rail link is a reality? Transport related social exclusion is a welldocumented problem within our society. I am sure the ULDA must be well aware of this fact. Why does the ULDA have a ‘Vision’ and not ‘Signed Off’ agreements between the state government, the local government and the proposed developer, Stockland, in regard to the infrastructure and ongoing financial obligations this development will require? Why are the rules on environment so loose? The Pumicestone Passage, which is an intertidal area of Moreton Bay, will be subject to further upward pressure from this development. The passage is an important habitat for many threatened and vulnerable species of flora, fauna and marine life. The ecological balance is still struggling to recover from the short-sighted activities of the 60s and 70s in which the aerial spraying of pine plantations, poor farming practices and rapid population growth sent the Passage into rapid decline. Today the sea grass beds are regrowing, but there is still a long way to go in terms of water quality and the overall health of the passage eco-system. I am very concerned about this development, including the short and long term effects that will result if it remains under the control of the ULDA. The Sunshine Coast Council is the best authority to work with the developer to ensure that Caloundra South does not become an environmental, social and financial burden on the ratepayers of the Sunshine Coast and the residents of Queensland as a whole. Ann Ross Sunshine Coast Council Division 1 Candidate

Living Well

The Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation (DEEDI) some weeks ago released details of a funding grant available to farmers in the Pumicestone Catchment region to improve soil and nutrient management. Landholders within the catchment area have been invited to apply for funding grants of up to $6,000 or up to $10,000 for joint projects with neighbouring properties. After torrential rain and flooding throughout December and January, the regions farms were put to the test with some losing crops and others bearing the scars of deep gouges caused by water run-off. The Pumicestone FarmFLOW project will work with rural landholders in the area to increase the adoption of land and water management practices to create more productive and sustainable landscapes. Farms eligible for the DEEDI grant will be able to use the funds for the following projects. - establishing grassed headlands and vegetated filter strips - converting to minimum tillage systems

- creating bulk poultry litter and manure storage areas - constructing off-stream banks and wetlands - redesigning drainage. To be eligible for funding you must: - own or manage a rural property in the Pumicestone Catchment - be willing to match the proposed funds dollar for dollar through cash or in-kind contribution - be willing to participate in either a field day, training workshop, media release and/or case study - have, or be willing to develop, a property management plan - complete the project no later than February 2012. For most farmers, the Pumicestone Catchment plays a vital role in the survival of their livelihood, so farmers have always had the interest of waterways at heart. This assistance offered by the Australian Government and DEEDI is another step towards Governments working with farmers to ensure their continued survival in the South East Queensland region. An extension has been announced this week which allows farmers to have their submission in by May 30. For more information on the project and to have the appropriate paperwork sent to you, contact Zane Nicholls on 5453 5816 or email zane.nicholls@deedi.qld.gov.au

Learn how to talk to your animals Next week, Heidi Wright from America will be visiting the Sunshine Coast talking to animals and getting real answers. Heidi is an internationally known animal communicator and she’s an ex-police officer who now travels to many different countries to teach workshops and talk on television and radio about deepening the relationships between humans and animals. Some people will call her an Animal Communicator, Animal Psychic, Pet Psychic, Medium, or Intuitive Reader. Heidi feels that it really does not matter what label you put on the work, what matters is the work itself. Her hope is that if people can love, understand, and respect animals just the way they are, that perhaps that

tolerance will carry over to other areas of their lives, and they will be more tolerant of other people, and this will take us all one step closer to a peaceful world. She is a household name in Japan and Korea where she appears in hit television shows. Heidi is holding a two day Animal Communication Workshop right here at Mt Mellum at Rowan House on the weekend of Saturday, May 14 and Sunday May 15 from 4.30pm. To find out more about the workshop contact Prue on 5412 0394 or 0438 549 411 or pruemason@bigpond.com To find out more about Heidi you can check out her website at www.critterconnections.net

Glasshouse Country Ministers Fellowship George Woodward Glasshouse Country Uniting Church I recently had an experience that made me think very deeply about what was really important in life. My parents are elderly and because of a set of circumstances associated with their health it became necessary for me to sell their home of over 20 years and buy a small unit in a retirement village. My parents had almost no involvement in the process. There was some pain and sadness associated with working out what we would need to take to the unit, what my siblings and I would keep and what we would give to charity. What did we do with the kit bag that my father came out of the army with 66 years ago? When I asked my dad about this particular item he just looked sad. It is still on the back seat of the car while I decide what to do with it. In our culture the place where we live is often very important. Family members may have lived in a particular place or area for a long time, sometimes for more than one generation. The place then becomes important. The familiar place

where I visited my parents for over 20 years I can no longer go to. The things we have are often very important and often hold precious memories. Some of my parent’s things we had to get rid of. The things we do can easily define who we are. When we meet someone new we often ask them, ‘what do you do?’ My parents can now do very little. One of the other things that often defines us is what we look like. My parents now look little like the young couple in the 66 year old photo of them on their wedding day. This experience led me to the think; It is not the place we live; It is not what we have; It is not what we do; It is not what we look like; None of these are important. The important thing is WHO WE ARE. My parents have been good loving parents who still love each other deeply. It is the relationship that I share with these people that is important. We have just celebrated Easter and Easter reminds me that my relationship with God is central to all other relationships. My parents are the wonderful people who showed me that truth in how they lived their lives and in what they taught me.

AT HOME WITH THE ENVIRONMENT Whether you’re planning a move or staying put, now is the perfect time to take stock of your green credentials. With a plethora of articles and television shows about ‘going green’ and sustainable living, we’re all increasingly conscious of the need to preserve the environment. The world of property is no exception. For example in some states, new properties must reach targets for reduced water use and lower greenhouse gas production set by BASIX, the Building Sustainability Index. www.gcnews.com.au

There is also cash available for retrofitting existing properties with green measures, for example, rebates on the price of installing a water tank. If you install your own renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, a wind turbine or a hydro generator you can feed energy back to the grid, reducing your dependence on less environmentally-friendly resources. Sustainable househunting. If you’re interested in a more sustainable home, then look for these initiatives when you are

househunting, or consider how you might be able to incorporate some of them after you buy: • Rainwater storage tank. • Solar hot water system. • Native and/or vegetable garden. • Water saving devices, such as waterefficient shower heads, dual flush toilets and tap aerators. • Good ceiling insulation. • Sealed gaps around doors and windows. • Recycling/composting areas. • Energy-efficient heating, lighting and cooling systems;

plus check the energy efficiency of appliances that will stay in the property. • Easy access to public transport. • Shutters, blinds and window shades to cut down on heat from the sun. Finally, remember the old adage, ‘location, location, location’. Call Teresa Harrison today. Today, it’s more relevant than 5422 9458 or 0410 648 098 ever – if you choose a house www.smartline.com.au/tharrison within walking distance of your Smartline CL No. 385325 most frequent destinations such as work, schools and shops then you are likely to reduce your dependence on your car.

Beegee’s news

Contributed by Dean Roberts

The seniors back from the holiday break headed up to Gympie to take on last year’s premiers the Devils. Reserve Grade down 24-4 at the break came out playing good footy in the 2nd half to go down 28-22 which will give them some confidence heading into next week. The under 18’s also came close to getting their 2nd win of the year but just failing 30-28. A Grade were paying some great footy and leading 12-6 at the break with some very solid defense the highlight. The boys came out after half time and stretched the lead to 18-6 when the game was stopped due to a lighting malfunction and was not started again. A decision was to be made by the SCGRL on Monday on what was to happen with the result of this game. Each weekend we will be featuring a team and providing a report on their game and this week it

Contributed by Frank Doonan is the under 13 Beerwah Team who are sponsored by? Top Shop Meats. The under 13’s have been promoted to the A Division this season after reaching the Grand Final in 2010 and also the good early season form this year. The boys seem to be rising to the challenge says coach Andrew Stevens and this was evident in their gritty win over the Caboolture Snakes 30-22 at Beerwah on Saturday and they are looking to keep their good form going. The Seniors next game is against Caloundra at Caloundra on Sunday, May 15 which should be another good quality game against our long time rivals. We look forward to seeing all the Bulldogs Supporters come along and offer their support. Anyone wanting to become involved in the club either in the way of playing, volunteering or sponsorship are encouraged to contact President Dean Roberts on 0418 816605 to discuss.

We had a big weekend of soccer with 16 competitive games played plus small sided games played the ovals were busy. The senior women’s teams kicked off the weekend with wins in both divisions with Daley Johnson having a blinder, scoring 5 goals in an 8-1 victory over Maleny. Our 1st division ladies also had a good win over Caloundra 3-0. Our senior men’s teams played well, both going down. Both teams are showing great improvement and as the season progress are having better results. Our club will be having a monster raffle on the Thursday, May 26 at the club starting at 7.00pm.Show your support for the club and come on down to buy some tickets, with over 40 prizes to won.

Mooloolah River Waterwatch & Landcare Inc. We Care About Our Environment It’s nice to see the sun out again drying up the water-logged ground. The landslips at the headwaters of Hell Hole Creek are creating turbid muddy conditions in our river systems and threatening people’s land and houses. Mooloolah River is silting up at a rapid rate which could cause greater flooding issues in the future. Mooloolah River Waterwatch & Landcare (MRWL) is currently working with various funding organisations to secure money to revegetate landslip areas and eroded banks along our waterways. If you would like us to visit your property for an assessment please ring our manager Jan Kesby on 5494 5074. Water Monitors Needed! We would love to set up water quality monitoring sites at the headwaters of the following creeks: Coochin, Coonowrin, Tibrogargan and Mellum Creeks. Also two more sites along each of the creeks to monitor the quality of the water before it enters Pumicestone Passage. Please give us a ring if you are interested. Green Army. Our Green Army team is still working hard on sites around Mooloolah cleaning up parks, waterways and planting trees. They are learning heaps about looking after our natural areas. Three of the team have now secured jobs. Mooloolah Reveg Rescue Team. We have a team of five passionate reveg boys and they are available for a reasonable fee to help you in your garden, removing weeds and planting trees for you. They are trained in revegetation, maintenance and spraying. Mooloolah Native Nursery.

Veterinary Assessment: ET was very thin and extremely weak, and much too young to be on his own. He had a bleeding tail and a blood test revealed ET to be quite anaemic.

Treatment: Dr Amber administered ET sub-cutaneous fluids and applied several heat packs to the tail end while he received a blood transfusion. ET was kept nice and warm during his overnight stay in the Nursery. Future: ET is now with a registered wildlife carer and will return to the hospital for a check up in one week. AZWH Statistic: We have already treated 14 echidnas so far this year at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital.

More funding to improve Sunshine Coast waterways Sunshine Coast landholders can further improve the viability of their properties and local waterways thanks to a new Queensland Government land management project. Senior Extension Officer Ian Layden from the Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation (DEEDI) said the government’s FarmFLOW project has been extended to support landholders in the upper Mooloolah, North Maroochy and Kin Kin catchments, and the Maroochy canelands. FarmFLOW helps producers to identify and implement practices that can result in significant fuel and fertiliser savings and production gains while reducing sediments and nutrients in waterways. “As part of the FarmFLOW projects, the Maroochy Landcare Group has received $789,000 under the Australian Government’s Caring for our Country program,” Mr Layden said. “This group has demonstrated a strong commitment to sustainable land practices locally, and the Queensland Government is pleased to partner with them. “FarmFLOW will deliver support, incentives and training to landholders in partnership with local government, Natural Resource Management and traditional owner groups. “Producers will learn how to improve their land management practices, repair and rehabilitate waterways and wetlands, and stabilise landslips. “The goal is to empower landholders with increased knowledge and capacity in sustainable land management. “This will lead to improved economic viability for local farms, as well as reduced impact on our waterways through less erosion and nutrient run off.” Mr Layden said FarmFLOW has been running for the past three years across the Logan, Lockyer, Bremer and Pumicestone catchments, and landholders had reported real benefits. “Producers can save money from these practices through reduced input costs, improved soil health and reduced machinery and fuel costs. There are also considerable benefits to water quality.” “Training events and field days will be held across the Sunshine Coast to assist landholders implement new farming practices, including economic assessment tools, nutrient management and grazing land management techniques.” FarmFLOW projects are a collaboration between the Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation (DEEDI), Maroochy Landcare Group, Sunshine Coast Council and SEQ Catchments, supported by the Australian Government Caring for our Country program. To become involved or for further information on FarmFLOW, contact DEEDI on 13 25 23.
