Hi everyone Hi Everyone Well I have to say I have been enjoying reading the contributions that we have been receiving from locals for our ‘Travelling Tales’ section of the paper. This week we hear from Dorothy and John about the UK holiday they took late last year, and some of the highlights of their trip. I really like travelling, I like travel documentaries, I even love searching the internet doing the planning of what I will do when I arrive somewhere - so I am probably a bit biased in reading about other people’s adventures. But I am sure that our regular ‘Travelling Tales’ remind many readers of things they have seen and done and enjoyed about their own travels – and hopefully this will encourage them to share

their stories with the rest of the community – whether they be very good or very bad. A friend of mine who was a Contiki Tour Guide for a number of years once said to me that if something goes wrong when she is travelling she reminds herself that it isn’t a bad thing – it just becomes a good story? So if you have a story, please send it in to reception@gcnews.com. au and remember if your story is printed you will go into the draw to win a two night cruise on the Dawn Princess next year.

Isabelle and Tyler get crafty at the dugout “I think it’s a good place to come after school especially if your parents are working,” added 11-year-old Tyler. “You can play with your friends and make things. One of the most favourite things we’ve done here is have a big festival outside with big slides.” The next ‘big’ event will be a Working Bee, and residents, parents and any willing volunteers are invited to come along and help give The Dugout a makeover. It will be held on Sunday, July 18, from 10.00am to 2.00pm and there will be a free sausage sizzle for whoever comes along. If you can, bring cleaning equipment and gloves. Located at 43 Bray Road, The Dugout is down the stairs and out the back of the Mooloolah Valley Community Centre.

If you haven’t heard of the The Dugout at Mooloolah Valley Community Centre then your kids are missing out on some cool fun. The Dugout is a youth space that opened at the Community Centre last year and a place for kids, generally upper primary school age, to hang out once a week. Currently, The Dugout has been open each Wednesday from 3.00pm to 5.00pm but after the upcoming school holidays this will change to Monday from 3.00pm to 5.00pm. Two enthusiastic volunteers have also come on board: Olivia Baberowski, who’s studying Psychology at the University of Sunshine Coast (USC), and Ashleigh Bareham, who’s studying Social Work at USC. Both girls have been structuring cool activities each week including cupcake decorating, pottery and badge making. “Volunteering here does go with my studies quite well. It’s fun to do, to help out. And we need to keep this place open,” Olivia said. Ashleigh agrees. “I decided to volunteer so I could get more experience working with children and just so I can help out.” It’s not just structured activities, there’s also a pool table, a table tennis table and sports equipment available. A group of local Mooloolah kids regularly enjoy The Dugout, although kids from any area are welcome to come along. Isabelle, 11, said “It’s fun, you get to make stuff and do stuff. I like playing with my friends and doing clay.”

Cody, 17, organised for his grandmother Peggy to enjoy a one hour joy flight in a Texan Top Class 550 LSA for her birthday; but this wasn’t just any joy flight – Cody himself was the pilot. “I wasn’t nervous, either was grandma, she was pretty confident,” Cody said. Cody attained his pilot’s license in December last year, reaching his passenger endorsement in April. This achievement is remarkable in itself but even more astounding is the fact that Cody only began learning to fly in February 2009. “I love flying, just being up there and having freedom. There are still rules and regulations that you have to follow but it’s a lot freer than you would be in a car. The majesty of flight itself, when you see an elegant war bird flying across at 400 k, doing a wingover, it’s magical,” Cody said. “I guess a passion for flying is one of those things you’re born with. Every time I looked up and saw them flying over my place when I was a kid it didn’t matter what was going on, I’d stand there and watch them. When I learnt how to read I started reading about it, what things were called, how things worked,” he said. It could be hereditary too as Cody’s Australian great uncle flew as a crew member with the RAAF and then the RAF. Sadly he was killed at age 21 in World War 2. His American grandfather and American uncle both served in the US Navy and his American cousin is an aerospace engineer with the military in the US.

In fact, his family history is a big part of his decision to join to the RAAF as an Aircraft Technician. Originally Cody planned to be a pilot in the RAAF but unfortunately at 6ft 8 inches he is too tall. However he is happy with his decision to be an Aircraft Technician. “I love fixing things, I love getting my hands on a part and looking how something works and figuring out how I can fix it if it’s broken. I want to be the best I can be at flying or engineering,” he said. Cody certainly is striving to be his best. His achievements so far are inspiring. As well as his pilot’s license he has a Cert 2 in Line Maintenance through Recreational Aviation Australia, achieved his Cert 2 in Aeroskills last year, for which he was awarded Acclaim 2008 Outstanding Achievement of the Year Award, he is a senior black belt in karate and now has attained referee status, is a 2009 OP graduate of Beerwah High School where he was a Music Excellence student and he has been a volunteer and part of the Youth Training Scheme at Caloundra Air Museum since he was 13. His next goal is to obtain his GA license to fly planes such as Cessna’s and Pipers. The future will probably include more birthday flights for grandma too.

Protecting our heritage

Jane and Bill Thompson, long time residents of the Glass House Mountains, are passionate about the environment and their local area. So, when they say our local State forests, National Parks and tracks around the Glass House Mountains are being destroyed by the activity of bikes and 4WD’s, as indicated in Jane’s recent ‘Letter to the Editor’, they thought surely someone would listen?

Jane and Bill have witnessed many problems such as huge mud holes on tracks, access roads impassable by emergency vehicles, dumped rubbish, destruction of flora, excessive noise, feeling threatened by aggressive riders and drivers and more. Jane said the problems started 10 years ago. “It’s monumental now. The trail bikes and the erosion concern me the most, soon there won’t be any nature left,” she said. They have tried to raise their concerns with National Parks, State Government, Sunshine Coast Council, Environmental Protection Agency and the police. “They say they’ll all look into it, but nobody does,” said Jane. Another concern of theirs is an innocent person will be injured or killed one day as they have had bikes go past them airborne. “This was on a walking track that says ‘no bikes’. We don’t want to stop them having fun, but they need somewhere else to go,” Jane said. All this activity of trail bikes and 4WD's has also lead to the Gonocarpus acanthocarpus now being locally extinct south east of Glass House. “This was the most southerly recording of this species in Queensland and now only exists as a specimen in the Queensland Herbarium. This is nothing to be proud of in the year of biodiversity,” Jane said. Bill is just as passionate with his concerns. “I think the main point from my perspective is this is all illegal activity, there is a perception in the community that trail bikes, dirt bikes, can use public areas without being licensed and unregistered but that’s not right,” he said. Bill said that although there are some respectful riders, there is an element of real hooliganism. “The intent of these people seems to be to go as fast as they can, do as much damage as they can and make as much noise as they can. The answer is to get some people out there to do surveillance and stop them.”

Louise Pemble, spokesperson for Sunshine Coast Council said the Council adopted a Difficult-toLocate Sports Study on October 29 last year, to identify potential and existing sites and facilities for the development of difficult-to-locate sports venues and precincts on the Sunshine Coast, however, the study does not provide management solutions for informal/illegal difficult-to-locate sports currently occurring in State Forests, Forest Reserves and National Parks. Mr Peter Tierney, Operations Manager, Department of Environment and Resource Management Sunshine Coast-Burnett indicated the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) works with the Queensland Police Service to address anti-social behaviour and illegal dumping in national parks and conservation parks. “QPWS rangers regularly patrol national parks and conservation parks in the Glass House Mountains” he said. He also said law-breakers in the area will be either issued with a penalty infringement notice or face court proceedings and larger penalities. On-the-spot fines, under the Nature Conservation (Protected Area Management) Regulation, range from $100.00 to $500.00 QPWS also works with the Sunshine Coast Council and Forestry Plantations Queensland to manage land adjoining national parks and conservation parks. Mr Tierney said QPWS is working with local agencies to develop long-term solutions to these issues and drivers in the areas must be registered, abide by signage and that incidents should be reported to QPWS on 1300 130 372. Jane and Bill Thompson continue to feel frustrated and encourage the reporting of incidents towards the implementation of such penalties. “It’s a National Heritage area and we should all be looking after it a bit better.”

Can Chiropractic Benefit Pregnancy? Absolutely! In fact, regular chiropractic care is essential during this special time. Chiropractic care benefits all aspects of your body's ability to be healthy. This is accomplished by working with the nervous system--the communication system between your brain and body. Chiropractors work to correct spinal, pelvic and cranial misalignments (subluxations). When misaligned, these structures create an imbalance in surrounding muscles and ligaments. Additionally, the resulting nerve system stress may affect the body's ability to function optimally. Pelvic misalignment causes the tightening and torsion of specific pelvic muscles and ligaments. It is these tense muscles and ligaments and their constraining effect on the uterus which prevents the baby from comfortably assuming the best possible position for birth. The Webster Technique is defined as a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that reduces interference to the nerve system and balances pelvic structures, muscles and ligaments. This has been shown to reduce torsion in the uterus, allowing optimal fetal positioning in preparation for birth. In expectant mothers presenting breech, there has been a high reported success rate of the baby turning to the normal vertex position. At no time should this technique be interpreted as an obstetric, "breech turning" technique. Rather, it simply balances the pelvic and allows opportunity for the baby to turn on its own. It is strongly recommended by the ICPA that this specific analysis and adjustment of the sacrum be used throughout pregnancy, to detect imbalance and optimise pelvic biomechanics in preparation for safer, easier births. Because of the effect the chiropractic adjustment has on all body functions by reducing nerve system stress, pregnant mothers should have their spines checked regularly throughout pregnancy, optimising health benefits for both the mother and baby. Dr Braxton is an ICPA Webster Technique certified chiropractor.

Remember your pets as the big chill hits Winter is upon us and vets are encouraging pet owners to spare a thought for their furry friends over the coming months. Dr Graham Swinney, President of the Australian Small Animal Veterinary Association says that there are a number of things we can do during the winter months to help our pets to cope with the weather. Make sure your pet has somewhere warm to sleep, free of drafts and protected from the elements. It is best not to leave your pet outside when the temperature drops, especially dogs with shorthair, older dogs and puppies. If possible try to find them somewhere cosy to sleep indoors for the winter months. Just like humans, pets with arthritis can find their condition playing up at this time of year. If your pet seems to be having trouble climbing stairs,

standing or sitting, it might be worth visiting the vet as they can advise you about treatments available. During the colder months some pets are likely to need more food as they burn more energy to stay warm, particularly dogs with short coats. If your dog is in a kennel outside make sure it has plenty of bedding and that the entrance to the kennel faces away from the wind. If it gets really cold it’s important to remember to ensure that pets have clean unfrozen water available at times. Bad weather and shorter days can make regularly exercising your dog more difficult but it’s important keep this up throughout the winter months. More information and advice about helping your pet to cope with the winter weather is available from your local veterinarian.

Tim lifting a 66kg dumbbell

Our local Strongman, Tim O’Shea from Beerburrum, returned from the Strongman Queensland Amateur Titles at Toowoomba on Saturday, June 12. He placed fourth overall on a day where the extremely cold weather proved just as challenging as the other competitors. Although his fourth place was just outside the top three finish he’d hoped for, which would have guaranteed an invitation to the Amateur Nationals in November, he was still pleased with the result and happy with the progress he had made in the sport so far. Next on the agenda for Tim is more training. “For the next three months I will go back to a phase of heavy, intense lifting to try to improve my strength for the big competitions in 2011,” Tim said. “Although I did not automatically qualify, I am hopeful of still getting an invitation to the Amateur Nationals in November 2010.”

Last month, over 120,000 children in libraries, schools and childcare centres across the nation were all listening intently as they enjoyed the same story, ‘Little White Dogs Can’t Jump’, as part of national simultaneous storytime. At Beerwah Library, 20 children from Bella Grace daycare participated in the event. Karina and Carol from Bella Grace said it was a good outing for the children.

Salvos in urgent need of donations of warm winter clothes and blanket

With winter definitely here, The Salvation Army is appealing for urgent donations of warm winter clothes and blankets. General Manager of Salvos Stores Neville Barrett said they are appealing for urgent donations to meet the increased demand which occurs during the winter months.

“We teach them about road safety which we also incorporate into this outing. It’s educational and fun for them,” they said. One of the eager participants, Lilliana, said the story was funny. “He had short legs.” Librarian Dell Simpson said it was a great event to be a part of. “The book is humorous, entertaining and it stimulates the interest in books for children.” “These donations will enable us to give a hand-up to struggling families and individuals in need of help," he said. "Donated goods are also sold at our stores with all profits going towards our vital services." For further information and to obtain the special Salvos Winter Appeal clothing bags ring the donation hotline number 13 SALVOS (13 72 58). “We ask people to take their donations to their nearest Salvos Store or participating school or business house."

Sam Ryan aka ‘Slam Von Carnage’, Leigh Barham aka ‘Buzza’ and Cecilia Morton aka ‘Dee-Dee Dainja’

If you know how to roller skate, have a little bit of attitude and can come up with a terrific alias such as Dee-Dee Dainja, Veronica Dodge or Slam Von Carnage, then the Coastal Assassins Roller Derby needs you! Cecilia Morton, President of the Coastal Assassins Roller Derby, said as the first Roller Derby League on the Sunshine Coast, with training having started in April, they are continuing to recruit new members to have enough skaters to bout and bring their game to the public stadium. “There is no age limit but women have to be over 18. Men are invited to join as referees, coaches or supporters. You will need to supply your own skates and protective gear such as helmet, knee pads, wrists guards and elbow pads. Beginners can join as we will split into groups of abilities. Everyone is welcome, once you’ve tried it you’ll get addicted,” she said. Members come from all over the Sunshine Coast such as Caloundra, Sippy Downs, Coolum, Noosa, Gympie, Maroochydore and Nambour and they meet every week for training at Caloundra. Cecilia loves the sport. “First of all I enjoy the alternative fitness; it’s quite a good workout. I’m definitely attracted to sports that are a little bit left of centre. Plus it’s fun; you take on a persona, so I enjoy the theatrical aspect of the sport. There’s also the social side, we all enjoy a great camaraderie.” The Coastal Assassins is a league run by the skaters for the skaters and relies on fund raising and community support to further its development. They held their first fund raiser gig on Friday, June 11 at Club Envy, Maroochydore.

Totally gnarly skate and BMX park strategy Sunshine Coast Council recently approved a draft strategy governing skate and BMX facilities throughout the region and is now calling for community feedback. The strategy will guide council over the next 15 years on how it manages, upgrades and maintains skate and BMX facilities. Social Strategy Portfolio Councillor Anna Grosskreutz said the draft skate and BMX strategy was great news for young people and all residents. The strategy will ensure – future skate and BMX facility development is consistent with council’s existing policies, plans and strategies; skate and BMX facilities are sited in appropriate locations, and are in line with best practice planning, design and management; an audit of all existing skate and BMX facilities is conducted to get a clear understanding of the current condition and what each facility has to offer; future improvements, upgrades and redevelopment, recommended sites for new skate and BMX facilities; and an action plan outlines how the recommendations will be delivered. A complete version of the strategy and advice on how to provide comments is available to view on council’s website: www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au Submissions close 5.00pm, Monday, August 16.

University for a day!

Last week, Year 10 students from Glasshouse Country Christian College had a taste of University life at the Sunshine Coast University Experience Day. Students chose two interactive workshops from topics such as the legal system, the role of paramedics, creative writing, environmental studies, computing, enterprise projects and many others. Students were also taken for a tour around the University so that they could become familiar with the campus for future visits. Students enjoyed meeting people from other schools and developing an understanding of the wide range of studies they can undertake at the university. They had the opportunity to chat with staff and students and obtain impressions of campus life.

Students participated in guided tours of the University campus to become familiar with the facilities and potential study opportunities Head of Secondary at GCCC, Mrs Sue Fraser, said the day was a valuable experience for the students. “This is one of several activities for our Year 10s this year to help them choose life pathways and subject selection for Years 11 and 12. “Days like this help students and parents make informed decisions for the future. We will certainly be back again next year!”

Beerwah readers take home cup Contributed by Mrs Adie Read, teacher/librarian Earlier this month, students from Beerwah State High School participated in the Year 9 regional Interschool Reader’s Cup competition which was held at Chancellor State College against 10 other schools in the region. The competition was

Students pictured are Travis Bosch, Georgia Logan, Allyson Marshall and Connor Bosch

designed to promote reading and comprehension and teams comprised of four students who aimed to read six books and then as a team answered questions about the books. Four teams competed in the finals, including Beerwah, St John’s Catholic College, Chancellor State College and Matthew Flinders Anglican College. After a nail biting finish, Beerwah SHS was announced the winner, with only one point difference from their nearest rival - Matthew Flinders Anglican College. Congratulations to the members of the Year 9 Beerwah team of Connor Bosch, Travis Bosch, Georgia Logan and Allyson Marshall. They performed extremely well and will now read a new set of books before competing at the state competition later in the year.

Council invite to planning scheme team

flickr photo: 'globes' by sarchi

Council is calling for nominations for a community focus group, whose members will provide input into the new Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme and help to shape the region’s future. The group of 10 will provide key advice to council and its planning scheme team during the preparation of the new scheme. Statutory and Regional Planning portfolio holder councillor Russell Green said that council is committed to ensuring the new scheme reflects the community’s expectations. “The new Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme will determine the land use in our region for many years to come—so it’s extremely important that the community stays involved every step of the way,” Cr Green said. “Council has been out for consultation twice since work started on the new scheme and now is in the process of drafting the scheme. “However, there will be questions raised along the way and it’s envisioned that this focus group

Travelling Tales with Dorothy and John Larard Where did you travel to? We travelled to England, Scotland and Ireland. How long did you go for? We went for 11 weeks returning October 24 last year. What was the weather like? Just fantastic - we only had three wet days over the whole trip. What were a few of the highlights of your holiday? Seeing places we had not seen before, like The London Eye, what an experience! And what views! Covent Garden and the Sunday market and entertainers. Would you believe meeting a family from Toowoomba in the same Gondola on the London Eye and later in the week meeting an Australian girl from Melbourne singing Opera in the Covent Garden market on Sunday morning? Her name was Seija (pronounced Say-yah). We bought her CD. Brilliant! Travelling with my brother and his wife around the North east coast of Scotland above Aberdeen, Pennan was just one of the stops where Burt Lancaster made a movie and we managed to get a copy of the DVD. The scenery was just fantastic and though it was late September the weather was beautiful. Then back to Humberside and off to Ireland with my sister and brother-in-law. We packed so much into just seven days touring across from Dublin to the West Coast and the Dingle Peninsula. There is so very much to see and enjoy everywhere in Ireland it seemed we couldn’t get enough. The movie ‘Ryan’s

will help to provide the answers, plus generate any new ideas or provide a new perspective. “The community focus group will be a diverse group of local people who collectively bring together a wide variety of experiences, backgrounds and skills in topics relevant to the new scheme. “I encourage anyone who has an interest in future growth on the Sunshine Coast to nominate for the community focus group and play their part in shaping the future of our region.” The community focus group will be bound to a strict code of confidentiality in respect to the content of discussions at the meetings, and any papers agendas or minutes associated with the activities of the group. Nominations close on 4.30pm, July 5 and can be lodged at any council service centre.

What was the most unusual thing you experienced / came across on your trip? I was really surprised, while watching the squirrels running around in Hyde Park London, to have a wild fox run across the footpath in front of me. I certainly never expected to see a fox in the middle of London. Any other special information you would like to share with readers? We booked our flights to England with Mel of Beerwah Travel.

Mark Arrindell Not your traditional repair shop! Osteopathy Beerwah Auto Centre is not your usual mechanical repair shop. While it’s fairly common to come across family run businesses these days, what isn’t Close to Home so common is to see a father-daughter combination on the workshop floor. But that is just what you will find, plus more, at Beerwah Auto Centre. Wayne Povey and his daughter Belle have proven themselves a formidable team when it comes to everything automotive. A Subaru specialist, they not only offer mechanical repairs, log book servicing, and parts and repairs on all makes and models, they’re also where you’ll find the only female motor dismantler and mechanic in the area. Wayne has 30 years experience in the industry, and says bringing his daughter, a spare parts guru, on board is the best thing he’s done. “Feedback from our customers has been great,” said Wayne. “Belle has been a wonderful addition to the business, and her knowledge and experience is second to none.” Belle said customers find it helpful to see the part and why it needs replacing. “With every car we work on, I like to explain to customers in detail how each component works, and having a wrecking yard as well gives me the option to pull out parts for comparison to help eliminate confusion.” Many customers also appreciate the balance of gender in what is traditionally a male dominated environment, said Belle. “No question is ever too silly to ask at our family business, and we also do our best to help our customers with one on one service, male or female,” she said. And to top off their great service, they will even wash your car before you pick it up. Who could ask for more? Beerwah Auto Centre is located at 18 Free Street, Beerwah, and is open five days a week, from 8.00am - 5.00pm, and from 8.00am - 12.00noon on Saturday. Give them a call on 5439 0465 Belle and Wayne or 5439 0455.

When you’re sore and in pain you don’t want to travel long distances to find relief. Clients of Dr Mark Arrindell Osteopathy will be pleased to know that there Dr Mark Arrindell is now a clinic open in Landsborough. Dr Mark Arrindell has set up the clinic within the delightful surroundings of his home due to the demand from the local population. “With more and more people from the hinterland needing treatment I decided that a local clinic was necessary. When people are in pain the last thing they want to do is drive unnecessary kilometres for treatment,” Mark said. Of course patients can still go to his existing clinic at Caloundra if they prefer. With 20 years experience, Mark offers osteopathic consultations and treatments, and acupuncture to relieve pain. Osteopathy is a gentle, safe and effective form of treatment that can help most types of aches and pains. Mark offers 30 minutes of undivided attention with his consultations. He assesses the specific injury whilst looking at the patient’s lifestyle, including work, sport, exercise and posture. He uses ultrasound, electrotherapy, laser and acupuncture where appropriate; plus hands on stretching / massage to balance and loosen the muscular system before specific gentle manipulation of joints, if needed. Mark trained at the British School of Osteopathy in London. His reputation amongst the well-established network of Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons, Consultant Neurosurgeons and GP’s earned him their highest respect and in 2005 Mark was voted in Tatler Magazine as one of the top five Osteopaths in the UK. Mark moved to the Sunshine Coast with his family in 2006 and his approach to treating patients since his arrival has already gained him a local reputation on the Sunshine Coast and Hinterland. Phone 0429 268 930. Open five days a week in Caloundra and Landsborough. By appointment only.

All contestants really need is a definite desire to make a change.” The 12 week course costs $39.00, funding a prize kitty shared between the three people who have lost the most weight and centimetres.

Sunday, June 13 was a special day at Glasshouse Country Uniting Church as we were visited by Mark Owen, executive officer of the Bible Society. Mark delivered the message in the morning service and then joined with 40 people at lunch. The purpose of Mark’s visit was to share with us about the work of the Bible Society in Kenya, which is this year’s Bible Society project. The meal consisted of Kenyan dishes including beef stew, chicken curry, vegetable stew, and coconut rice followed by Kenyan desserts. These included paw paw fruit salad, sweet potato pudding and coupe mount Kenya – which is mango ice cream with pineapple and pistachio nuts. After lunch Mark told us about the children of Kenya who need books so they can learn to read as many cannot attend school because their

duty to the family comes first – working the land, tending the cattle, and fetching water. The parents cannot afford to buy books so the Bible Society hopes to raise enough funds to provide 750,000 new reader portions. Following Mark’s talk we shared in an informative quiz which extended our knowledge of Kenya. The afternoon concluded with the auction of goods that members of the congregation had given, there was also a jewellery stall, and the jewellery was made by a member of the congregation. People from Kilcoy and Peachester joined us for the event, which raised in excess of $1,000 for the Bible Society. Thanks to all who contributed, we look forward to next year’s Bible Society Project.

University of the Third Age (U3A) Climate change remains a hot topic for both Government and the general public. Much debate has continued for some years on the effect it will have on our lives and how best we can prepare for the changes that climate change will bring. Professor Tim Smith who is Director of the Sustainability Research Centre at the University of the Sunshine Coast will provide some innovative ideas and thoughts on the way people and their surrounding habitat can adapt to climate change at a public lecture to be held on June 26. Dr Smith was a senior research scientist with the Resource Futures Program of CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems before his appointment at the University. Apart from other projects, Dr Smith currently leads the Communities Theme of the National Climate Change Adaptation Research

Facility network on Marine Biodiversity and Resources, and the Adaptive Capacity Theme of the South East Queensland Climate Adaptation Research Initiative. Along with fellow researchers Professor Smith was awarded the Australian Eureka Prize in 2009 in the category of Innovative Solutions to Climate Change. Professor Smith’s public lecture on Saturday, June 26 will also cover how coastal regions can respond to climate change. The lecture will commence at 9.30am and be held at the University in Lecture Theatre 7. Just follow the signs. This is the second in a series of three annual lectures for the general public that are sponsored by the University of the Third Age Sunshine Coast (U3A). Cost is $5.00 and $3.00 for U3A members.

Glasshouse Country View Club On June16, GlassHouse Country View Club celebrated their 7th birthday with the theme ‘A Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow’.

Our next outing is on Wednesday, July 7, at Peachester painting pottery prior to the kiln process. Cost is $5.00 and please bring a paintbrush. Transport from the Beerwah Library will be available at 9.30am.

‘Cowardly’ Act over Airport site decision

An act of cowardice to cover another potential asset sale. That describes the State Government’s decision to hand over the future of the Caloundra Airport to the Sunshine Coast Council, according to the Member for Caloundra, Mark McArdle. During his recent budget reply speech Mr McArdle attacked the Government for its “cowardly” decision to palm the airport’s future on to the council. “It’s a de-facto asset sale and one which the Government would rather hide from,” he said. “The Government is the owner of the land and the council is merely the trustee. Obviously Premier Bligh has had enough flack coming her way and she has taken the coward’s way out by leaving the dirty work to someone else. “If the council determines the property should be sold – and there will be behind the scenes pressure from the State Government to ensure this happens – then the Government can lay the blame at the council’s feet. “I only hope the council shows some leadership and backbone on the issue and retains the airport site as it is a vital business and community hub for Caloundra,” he said. Mr McArdle said the lease on the airport site expired in December 2014 and there was a strong public campaign across the community to ensure the airport remained along with the Queensland Air Museum and the Air Cadets training ground. “Thousands of people have already signed petitions in favour of retaining the site and the campaign will continue across the coast for as long as it takes.”

Yes for mine tax

I am not a friend of the Labor Party, but Kevin Rudd's decision that the mining companies pay 40 per cent income tax is right. Most of the mining companies belong to the foreign countries and they make a very good profit with our resources, so I can find no reason why they should not pay this tax. Obviously mining companies need to invest large amounts of money to set up their operations. They should not complain about paying tax because they only need to pay tax when they make profit. Up until now these companies have enjoyed a dream run which is why our richest men are heads of the mining companies. The opposition party automatically rejects anything the Government proposes without offering any sensible alternative. This is not very constructive but is just argumentative.

Long live The Scrapbook

Scrapbooking has become a popular art form in recent years, but the idea is certainly not new. The custom of keeping photos, memorabilia and newspaper cuttings in a book of some kind has been with us for generations. While specialist books and albums have always been available for this purpose, it seems that many early scrapbookers used the humble exercise book – even re-cycled exercise books. It is always an exciting prospect for local and family historians when an old family scrapbook comes to light. Who knows what treasures it may contain, and what long-sought information may be found in the newspaper cuttings! A favourite resource which came into the 18

Bins Stolen – does anyone have any Information?

The Hinterland BMX club hosted their Open Day several weekends ago - and it was a huge success. For this event, they had to hire gazebos, toilets and bins. They hired eight wheelie bins from Theiss Caloundra, with the agreement that the bins would be used over the weekend event, the rubbish contractor would empty them Monday, and the BMX club would return the bins Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning. The bmx people were at the club on the Sunday doing the necessary clean up, and the bins were still there. However, on the Monday, the rubbish contractor emptied the bins at 6.05am and by 5.00pm Monday afternoon the bins were gone. Sometime between 6.05am and 5.00pm a thief has had the audacity to take all eight bins. Please if someone saw anyone stealing these bins on Mooloolah Connection Road, outside of the BMX track, i.e. loading them into a trailer / horse float / back of a truck, we would appreciate you contacting us on 5494 6565 or 0422 727 965.

Charity Sports – Next Year

On behalf of the Charity Sports Committee I am writing to advise your readers that unfortunately the Beerwah Charity Sports and Spring Carnival will not go ahead this year. As this would have been the 40th annual Charity Sports, it has been a painful decision for our Committee, taken after much debate and deliberation, but we have been forced into this position by circumstances beyond our control. Taking into account the volume and type of traffic entering and exiting the grounds on the day of the Sports, members feel strongly that we cannot responsibly stage the event at the Beerwah Sportsground with the current dangerous entrance. This is still a temporary one-way entrance resulting from the adjacent road works and overpass, and there is no sign of the promised new entrance road. There are also other concerns regarding the grounds which have not been resolved, and we are still waiting for a response on these matters from the Sunshine Coast Council. On a positive note however, the Charity Sports Committee has made the decision to start planning for the 40th Charity Sports next year. We aim to make it the best-ever sports day and a truly gala celebration for the 40th birthday of this popular community event. Please note that the date of the

possession of the Peachester History Committee several years ago was the late Jean Shuttlewood’s scrapbook. Jean lived in the district all her life, and was well-known for her hospitality and interest in community activities. Her book contains notes and cuttings about births, deaths and marriages, snippets of news, letters to the editor, advertisements, advice – a miscellany which captures the life and times of Peachester and surrounding districts. The headings alone hint at the diversity of Jean’s interests – ‘Warning to cattle owners’, ‘Maleny pioneer dead’, ‘Farmers back Inigo Jones’, ‘Floods delay new dam work’, ‘Beerwah resident killed by log’, ‘Vice-regal guests at wedding’, ‘New hall at Peachester officially opened’... and so on. This typical brief obituary contains a wealth of information about the district: (BEERWAH: The death has occurred of Mrs Lillian Maud Simpson, wife of Cr D. B. Simpson of Beerwah. Mrs Simpson was born in Brisbane 56 years ago, but had resided at Beerwah most of her life. She took part in patriotic and charitable objectives while her health permitted. She was

Beerwah Charity Sports and Spring Carnival next year will be Saturday, August 27. In addition to its iconic local status as a project which involves the whole community, the Charity Sports has made a huge contribution to the wider community over the last 39 years through its fundraising for cancer research. In 2009 the amount raised for the Cancer Council was $25,000. So we are looking forward to an even greater result in 2011 to mark the 40th Charity Sports. We wish to thank residents of the Glasshouse Country district for your support and participation over many years. This enthusiastic community involvement has always been integral to the success of the Charity Sports, and we look forward to that support again in 2011. Bruce Page Chairman, Beerwah Charity Sports Committee

Glasshouse Primary parking

To the lady at Glasshouse Mountains State School who jumped in front of vehicles trying to park and pick up their children on Wednesday, June 16, I was very surprised and somewhat disturbed by your actions. The lady may have possibly been a mother of children attending Glasshouse Mountains State School. I am unsure why she felt the need to walk into the path of moving vehicles and take photos of people in vehicles, while hurling abuse at drivers. As far as I could see, we were all in the car park to perform the same duty; pick up our children safely from the school. May I ask what sort of a message you are sending your children, if you walk in front of moving vehicles and yell obscenities to the drivers? Whatever happened to basic communication skills? I would have been far happier for you to approach me once I had parked my vehicle, and for you to talk to me about whatever your issue may have been. But for you to breach my privacy and take a photo of me, while I was waiting for a car to back out of a park, so I could safely park and collect my children, was somewhat disturbing. All that was needed was a little patience and understanding. We were all keen to collect our children safely. Personally I have found the parking, pick up and drop off of children at the school, very pleasurable compared to other schools in the area. We should be thankful for the well designed angle parking and also traffic lights to ensure safe crossing of the road. All that is required is a little patience, courtesy and basic common sense. So please leave your camera and bad attitude at home. Your children and the community will thank you for it. Name supplied Glass House Mountains

It is possible to read old newspapers on microfilm at places like the State Library, but unless you are looking for specific items it is a tedious and time-consuming process. So it is a true case of serendipity when we find such gems preserved as a record of district life. The moral of this story is – don’t throw out that old family scrapbook. No matter how worn and unassuming it appears on the surface, those pages could hold the answers to questions you haven’t even thought of yet!

END OF FINANCIAL YEAR

2009 / 2010

Cedar House Homewares Sale

Enjoy end of year sales While the close of the financial year is a time to consider great sales on offer, it is also an important time for consumers to go carefully with their budget. Minister for Tourism and Fair Trading, the Honourable Peter Lawlor has urged consumers to be prepared while shopping at this season’s stocktake sales to avoid blowing the budget. He did acknowledge however, that sales could also be an excellent way to pick up muchneeded items for a cheaper price. “You can take the joy out of a good deal if you spend more than you can afford, Mr Lawler said. “Sales hype can cause some consumers to fall into debt, and I recommend that you work out a budget at home to avoid overspending or making the wrong decisions about purchases.” Mr Lawlor said it was important for consumers to know and understand their refund rights and responsibilities, particularly while shopping during the sales season.

“All consumers have the right to ask for a refund, even if the goods are on special,” he said. “However, this only applies when the goods have a fault that you could not have known about at the time of purchase, or they are not the same as the description provided by the salesperson or advertisement. You can also request a refund if the product does not match the sample you were shown at the time of purchase or does not do the job that it was intended for. “You are not entitled to a refund if you change your mind, find the same item cheaper elsewhere or if you bought a gift the receiver does not want or need. Some businesses may offer refunds in some of these circumstances as a sign of goodwill, but they aren’t required to by law,” he said.
