Hi everyone When does an environmental crusader who has notched up more than 40 years defending our precious earth against the ravages of man and development become a school principal?

When that school is Glenview State School, of course.

Last week, one of Australia’s leading conservationists and Fraser Island Defenders Organisation (FIDO) founder John Sinclair took the reigns at Glenview State School as part of the state’s Principals for a Day, marking State Education Week.

School principal Debe Crotty said the school was keen to host John because of his strong environmental focus.

This is the first year they have participated in the annual program, and they thought it was fantastic

having John visit them.

During his visit to the school last Thursday, John shared some travelling adventures with the younger students, gave a presentation to the student council, checked out the veggie patch and advised them what to do about a cheeky scrub turkey, and planted a tree.

It’s been over 50 years since John left school, and he said he found the experience very enriching. He thought it was wonderful to see the enthusiasm of the students, and what they’ve achieved at their school.

Congratulations to the students who did our local area proud.

Regards,

U turn decision brings traffic to a halt A decision to disable a u-turn facility along Steve Irwin Way at Mooloolah has left some local businesses reeling, with claims they are losing up to 40 per cent of daily trade, and being forced to consider laying off staff.

BP Mooloolah manager David Watts said he is angered by the lack of consultation from the Department of Main Roads who closed the u-turn facility two weeks ago with almost no notification.

The decision means motorists heading east towards the Bruce Highway on Steve Irwin Way can no longer access those businesses on the opposite side of the carriageway until the next u-turn facility, located 2.4km down the road at the Mooloolah Cemetery.

“Motorists on the other side of the road now have to travel nearly five kilometres out of their way to access our business,” David said.

“Who would bother? It's no wonder our business is down between 30 and 40 per cent.”

Simon Smith of neighbouring business Go Green Rainforest Nursery is equally frustrated.

“I’ve received no written correspondence, I just saw an advertisement in the GCNews, which really wasn’t very clear and then the next week the u-turn facility was closed,” Simon said.

“I immediately rang and asked for a meeting with someone from Main Roads, and instead they sent two of their contractors from Neumann’s.”

Everyday banking Home loans Credit cards Personal loans Business accounts and lending

David Watts of BP Mooloolah and Simon Smith of Go Green Rainforest Nursery Simon said he was initially told the new u-turn facility at the Mooloolah Connection Road would become operational with the lights in approximately three to four weeks; however this latest advice had blown out to six weeks.

I don’t understand the lack of communication and consultation, and really, why they had to shut down the former u-turn facility in the first place,” Simon said.

A Department of Transport and Main Roads spokesperson said the department is investing $47.8 million to upgrade Steve Irwin Way between Landsborough and the Caloundra Road interchange which will improve safety, increase capacity to cater for future growth, and improve flood immunity.

The spokesperson said the department is committed to minimising the impact of construction on road users, local residents and businesses and is doing everything it can to have the new road opened by mid-2010, weather permitting.

As part of the upgrade, traffic signals will be installed and operational at the Quarry intersection around the middle of this year and will include a dedicated u-turn lane.

Let’s 'can' hunger

Landsborough

Nobody likes to go hungry so spare a thought for the thousands of people who are not always able to put food on the table.

Last year universities in America started a program called Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) and the Let’s Can Hunger campaign and this year Australian universities are participating.

Annemarie Van Hees, President of the Glasshouse Mountains Neighbourhood Centre and a student at the University of the Sunshine Coast, explains.

“Basically what it is about is the university gives students the opportunity to use some of the theory and skills that they learn at uni to put into

Sharon and Amy helped out with the Beerwah can drive practice in the community. Things like business skills, project management and community networking skills,” she says.

“This year the theme is Let’s Can Hunger, so we’ve all got a challenge to work on projects that address urgent hunger relief and hunger awareness. What our team came up with is that we do door knocks to collect cans and donate them to different food banks and food programs.”

The programs they support include the Beerwah High School breakfast club (which will start next term) and the Glasshouse Mountains Neighbourhood Centre’s ER (Emergency Relief) Program, which provides food and other resources to those in need.

The door knocks in Beerwah started in April.

“We were really, really pleased with the response. Some people donated 10 items at a time. We did a flyer drop first, so if people knew they wouldn’t be home, they left cans at the front door for us.”

“Our major sponsor for USC SIFE is Campbell’s and the Sunshine Coast Council and JJ Richards donated 15 wheelie bins for us to use, they are also one of the major sponsors. When we do our door knocks we take the wheelie bins door to door to carry the cans in,” she said.

Items being collected include any canned foods, pasta, breakfast foods, other non-perishable food items, plastic plates, cups, knives, forks, even can openers. Rings pulls on cans are preferred but not absolutely necessary.

If the door knock doesn’t come to your area, two wheelie bin drop off points have also been established at BADYAC, Roberts Road, next to the pool and at the Glasshouse Mountains Neighbourhood Centre, opposite the Post Office.

These drop off points will be available for the rest of this year and it is hoped there will be more collection points in the future.

Curves of Beerwah and The Salvation Army have also joined forces for their annual food drive.

Its easy to help out - simply drop in non-perishable food items to Curves of Beerwah during the month of June, and help someone less fortunate. There are also special offers available from Curves for those who drop in a bag of groceries, so give Linda on a call on 5494 0455 or visit curvesbeerwah@bigpond.com 4

The best home in Australia Where would you expect the winning home for a national design award to be located? Trendy Sydney or cosmopolitan Melbourne? No, try Glass House Mountains. Yes, that's right.

At the recent national Building Design Awards, Norman Richards building design + interiors from Maleny won the award for Best Residence (up to 250 sqm) in Australia.

The winning project is the home of Bill and Misao Rogers, who own the Glass on Glasshouse holiday cottages and The Lookout Café on Glass HouseWoodford Road. Bill had already worked with architect Norman Richards when he designed their Glass on Glasshouse holiday cottages.

“All we told him was that we wanted something mainly for couples and modern, and Norman Richards come up with something that was 99 per cent exactly what we wanted and it was quite an innovative, very different design.”

They were so impressed with the cottages they asked Norman to design their new home as well.

“We essentially said we wanted a bigger version of the cottages, with a bit more storage as well.

Something to suit the environment and optimise views. When you live in a place as stunning as Glass House Mountains to not optimise the views is criminal,” Bill said.

Bill and Misao were extremely happy to hear about the award.

“Very proud. A very pleasant shock that our architect had been able to beat architects from more traditionally trendy places such as Sydney

and Melbourne. It’s quite fantastic really. This award is also a big feather in the cap for a local builder, Chris Hall, and tradespeople such as electrician Geoff Keast, Paul from Glass House Tiling and a host of others who worked on this and did such a great job. We are so lucky to have them and such a great architect living locally.”

Bill said his favourite part of the home is the lounge room.

“It’s a combined lounge cum kitchen, so it’s a huge area with a lot of space and the magnificent views. It’s designed for living.”

Architect Norman Richards was surprised by the win.

“When you see the other finalists I think it was a matter of luck to win it,” he said.

“It’s really the first signature home I’ve designed, so in Australia to go from nothing to national award winner with the first project is quite exciting.”

Norman said nature was definitely the inspiration when designing the home.

“The architecture is trying to be downplayed. To win an award for a building which is in a way hopefully a very subtle piece is quite exciting, it shows the judges got it.”

Working on the two baths was a fun part of the project for Norman.

“There is a sunken bath in the master bedroom and another bedroom has a Victorian clawfoot bath on a bed of pebbles and lit from underneath.

I had a client who was game for it - a magic client who gave me carte blanche.”

The award winning home is located next to the The Outlook Café. For more information about Glass on Glasshouse visit www.glassonglasshouse.com.au For more information about Norman Richards building design + interiors visit www.normanrichards.com

Cancer Council Queensland regional fundraising coordinator Jodi Durkin said with 545 hosts across the Glasshouse Mountains and Sunshine Coast, Cancer Council Biggest Morning Tea was aiming to raise $205,000.

“Money raised through fundraising events such as this will go towards cancer research, patient support services and education programs on the prevention and early detection of cancer on the Sunshine Coast,” Jodi said.

In Landsborough over 100 people turned out to the Landsborough Memorial Hall for the fundraiser, organised by the Landsborough Hall committee’s Shirley Ruhle. There were three tables of prizes up for grabs in the cent auction and $2,452.55 was raised on the day.

Even the Glasshouse Country Baptist Church Playgroup popped in to visit.

Alison Souter, College parent and Kitchen Garden volunteer, organised the event, enlisting the valuable help of many.

Look, up on the stage, is it a bird, is it a plane?

No, it’s the fabulously talented students from Beerwah State High School who performed in the musical comedy Superman spoof spectacular ‘Man of Steel’ last week.

We were able to catch up with some of the stars before they went on stage for their first performance.

Year 10 student Cameron Sneesby got to show his steel, playing the Man of Steel.

“I’m a little bit nervous but I’m pretty keen; more excited than nervous. In one scene I go into a telephone box and get chased by an old woman with an umbrella. I’m in my underwear with tights down to my knees. It’s a fun scene but the most embarrassing,” Cameron said.

Daniel McKew, from Year 9, plays Bobby Benson.

“Bobby is a nerd, a loser in love. I’ve never played a nerd before so it’s a cool experience. I get to act silly and enjoy it. I’ve been involved

Cameron Sneesby, Kacie Austin, Maya Mohan and Daniel McKew

‘Gangsters girlfriends’, Brianna Campbell, Asha Josland and Darci Brady with performing before but this is my first musical,” Daniel said.

Year 12 student Kacie Austin gets to show her dark side playing the gangster Bugsy.

“I’m excited and looking forward to it - it’s been a lot of work to get here. As Bugsy, I get to be a little bit evil, so that’s fun to play around with.”

Maya Mohan, Year 11, draws on three years of drama classes to play baddie Vulgar Olga.

“I get to be loud, and I get to put lots of energy into it and be a little bit evil as well. I feel pretty good now, but I’ll be nervous when the time comes to step on stage.”

Musical directors Debbie Holland and Rebecca Stephenson are understandably proud of the students.

“This show represents about five months work, rehearsals after school and some weekends.

It’s been a huge task coordinating all the different departments, but the kids and teachers have all pulled together to put together a really vibrant and energetic show,” Debbie said.

Everyone at Beerwah Kindy is getting excited ahead of the annual Trivia Night this weekend cont. from page 3 Because the road footprint has been reduced to minimise impacts on the environment and neighbouring properties, there is no space available to provide an additional, safe u-turn facility during construction, the spokesperson said. She also said a mobile electronic message board has been installed to advise the location of the next u-turn facility to assist motorists. “The project teams have consulted with the community during planning, design and construction of the projects. The project team will continue liaising with affected residents throughout construction,� the spokesperson said.

Work started on stage one in early 2009 and involves duplicating a 3.3 kilometre section of Steve Irwin Way, between Mooloolah Connection Road and the Caloundra Road interchange.

During World War Two the Volunteer Defence Corps played a quiet but valuable role in Australia’s war effort.

It was established in 1940 by the Returned Sailor’s, Soldier’s and Airmen’s Imperial League of Australia (now RSL) and was modeled on the British Home Guard. Initially composed of WW1 ex-servicemen, it was handed over to Commonwealth control in 1941 and then opened to men from every walk of civilian life ---volunteers unfit for combat in regular forces, over the age limit or in reserved occupations.

The purpose of the VDC was to provide defence of the local area in the case of invasion.

Following the outbreak of the Pacific War volunteer numbers reached 100,000 Australiawide. Men were trained in activities such as construction of road blocks, signaling, demolition of bridges, field craft, booby traps, bush craft, weapons training, engineering, knowledge of edible natural foods and a great many other things.

Each volunteer was issued with a uniform, (including the Aussie slouch hat), boots and a .303 rifle. In the dairy farming district of Maleny training took place on Sundays, between milkings.

Fortunately the feared invasion didn’t happen but, had it occurred, the men of the VDC were well-trained to ‘delay and deny’ invaders and successfully protect their communities.

Service records of those who enlisted in the VDC can be viewed on www.ww2roll.gov.au/ and a certificate of the record printed out.

Beerwah Family History Group meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month at Beerwah Library.

Sourdough – did you know…?

Sourdough bread is a low GI food, benefits people with diabetes and assists weight management by improving appetite control and delaying hunger.

Sourdough goes back 6,000 years, when humans discovered fermentation and leavening of grains to be baked into bread. Drawing on ancient traditions, true sourdough is made using a starter, “natural leaven”, created when natural yeast from the air and lactobacilli bacteria ferment organic flour and water.

Most sourdough breads are white yeast-risen breads with old dough added.

Traditional bread makers Sol Breads use natural leaven. They are one of few Australian bakeries who produce their bread in a totally yeast free environment with no additives or food chemicals, using four leavens for their breads: wheat, spelt, rye and rice. They handcraft all their bread and take their name from the stone – or ‘sol’ the bread is baked on in the oven. While a baker using yeast can produce a loaf of bread in 90 minutes, Sol Breads require up to 26 hours for the same size loaf. This makes Sol Breads loaves easier to digest as long fermentation time helps restore the digestive track and supports the immune system.

A wide variety of sourdough loaves and gluten free sourdough breads from Sol Bread are available at Pasta d’Vine. Pasta d’Vine also uses Sol Breads to make a range of gourmet sandwiches - starting from $6.80 - for a great value, delicious and healthy meal.

In the meantime, our population will continue to grow, placing an even bigger burden on the current system and causes stress and heartache for local residents.

The State announced funds for improvements at Nambour and Caloundra Hospitals but, unfortunately, these will not even come into force for several years.

Unfortunately, the Rudd Government has also let us down again, failing to announce one cent in the Budget to build the hospital, given the failure of the Bligh State Government to do so.

The recent moves to improve health services in the area don’t go anywhere near close enough to addressing the real needs of the area today.

The new Sunshine Coast University Hospital was meant to be built at Kawana by 2014, and would have helped residents across the Coast and Hinterland, but it has been delayed several times by the Labor Government and is now not ex-pected to take patients until late 2016.

Taking Action

: Peter regularly contacts the Prime Minister and the Federa l Minister for Hea lth and Ageing to push for fed eral funding for the health needs of the Sushine Coast.

Thank you to all the people who helped in any way to make our biggest morning tea for cancer a great success. May 18 was our International Day with Beerwah. The country of study for this year is Ireland. Peachester branch cooked the hot main course and Beerwah provided the sweets. Over 100 entries in the school competition were displayed around the walls of the Peachester Hall, with the tables dressed in green, orange and white. The stage was decorated by Margaret Ferris, Peachester’s international officer. There was an Irish painting

by Margaret Wallace, a Peachester member, as a backdrop.

Guest speaker Sara Faddy from Maleny branch spoke about Waterford Crystal and what the ACWW,

the world CWA body, does for the needy throughout the world. Australia is part of the South Pacific region so our priority is to help the needy on the islands. The Nambour North Coast Choir sang Irish songs with all present joining in and having fun.

Competitions were run all day keeping everyone on their toes. The lucky door prizes were won by Eina Maynard first, and Cath Howitt, second. Raffle was won by Julie Knight.

The Rotary Club of the Glass House Mountains has been very busy in the last few months. On April 3, Rotary catered for the Big Burnout which was an extremely busy day. Our members and non-members put in a great effort manning the sausage sizzle.

On April 18, Bankfoot House hosted their day and Rotary did the honours supplying the lunch, which was enjoyed by all.

Go Green Rainforest Nursery had their open day on May 2 and again Rotary had lunch going all day.

Kasey Austin was our guest speaker on May 10 where she gave the club a report on her time at the Science Forum in Canberra. She had a very enjoyable 12 days where she met some very interesting people and made good friends. Rotary sponsored Kasey for this forum.

On May 12, our club catered for the Combined Rotary Clubs at the Sunshine Coast University where 120 members attended. It was a special night for our club as we were presented with a Silver Award for money donated to The Sunshine Coast University Rotary Community Fund. At that function, three scholarships were awarded from this fund to post graduate students. It was a great night and the food was excellent, which was prepared by Oskar and Sue who are continental chefs in our club.

Our guest speaker on May 17 was Peter Fisk who is the coordinator for the Rotary Bowel Scan Project on the Sunshine Coast. Peter gave us a rundown on this year’s program which has just finished, with a big increase in kits sold. Testing has started, and already there has been four positives detected.

Sunday, May 23 was a big day for Rotary with the Glasshouse Country Sustainability and Garden Expo event. Full marks go to Bob McLean who was the Coordinator and driving force behind it. It was a very busy day for our Rotarians, starting the day at 6.00am and finishing at 6.45pm. Again the food was excellent which was prepared by our Rotary chefs. Many thanks to all the exhibitors and stallholders and also to the guys from the Men’s Shed Club for all their help. Once again a big thank you to our members and non-members. June 21 is our change-over night which is being held at the Beerwah Hotel. George MacKenzie is our in-coming president for the year 2010-2011, and hopefully it will be a successful year. We already know it will be another busy year.

Glasshouse Country RSL Citizens’ Auxiliary

Contributed by Claire Allan

The Glasshouse Country RSL Citizens’ Auxiliary has recently run another successful country and western night, this time featuring Pete Smith and Lana Ross. Last year it was a Graham Rodgers concert. Both times the response was beyond expectations and both these artists will be visiting again.

Although the Citizens’ Auxiliary has been formed for just over 18 months and our active members are small in number, we have raised $7,659.00 by running raffles, garage sales, country and western nights, a trivia night and provided morning tea for the Information Centre open day and Interpretative Centre opening.

This money goes towards improvements for the Sub Branch. We would like to thank the community for their ongoing support.

Without you we could not function.

Coming events: a garage / boot sale on July 10 (all goods donated will be gratefully received), another trivia night, a Fathers Day raffle in August and a Christmas raffle in November / December. Graham Rogers will be returning in October, Pete Smith and Lana Ross next year. So keep an eye out for these events.

The RSL is open on a Friday night for meals and social interaction, and although the Auxiliary doesn’t run the kitchen, we would like to put a call out for anyone who might be interested in helping with the cooking. It is not a complicated job, no harder than a barbeque. If you enjoy that, you will enjoy our Friday nights. If you are interested in helping or would like to come and see what is involved, please phone the RSL on 5438 7777 and leave a message, someone will get back to you with details.

GCNews welcomes contributions from all local community groups and service clubs. Please note the editorial deadline is 12.00noon each Friday. If you have missed the deadline your article will not be considered for the next edition. For articles that do meet the deadline every effort will be made to include them in the next edition. However if we receive more contributions than we have space available your contribution may be held over until the following week. Priority is given to articles / notices that

are time specific. The philosophy of GCNews is to ensure community groups and other regular contributors have equal opportunity in accessing the free community space made available each week. Please keep contributions to a maximum of 250 words, or 200 words and a photo. Submissions may be edited if too lengthy and in accordance with the GCNews style guide. For further information including guidelines for submitting an article or notice, email reception@gcnews.com.au

LABOR HAS LOST ITS WAY...

In uncertain times, Australia needs a plan for real action.

But Labor has lost its way...

R isking jobs, investment and superannuation with big new taxes on the mining industr y

More Government debt with a budget deficit of $40.8 billion, and even more reckless and wasteful spending

More financial stress on families with more pressure on interest rates, cuts to child care support and no real action to tackle rising living costs

B roken promises and more waste with a $1 billion border security blowout and another $1 billion to patch-up its home insulation disaster

Labor. Big Spending. Big Debt. No plan for the future.

JASFA Clothing brought the seasonal fashions to the Day Centre in Beerwah, so our clients could update their wardrobe in comfort and at a leisurely pace, and there were many eager buyers. This is only one of the many facets we offer to our clients. Why not contact us to see what events we are offering this month?

Out our last meeting semi-retired journalist John Jennings came along. He has 50 years experience with print and electronic media plus a substantial background in public relations. He served in local government as an economic development officer in Queensland and Victoria and staged major events in three states. John worked initially on regional newspapers, a metropolitan daily, two television newsrooms and ABC radio. He later worked as a personal assistant to a Senator and a press secretary to various MPs and ministers in two states. In the journalism context he was an acting editor of a country newspaper at age 19, sports editor of a country tri-weekly afternoon newspaper at age 20, youngest sub-editor (age 22) with News Ltd, Adelaide, night editor and deputy news editor, NWS-9. Later on he became a consultant with the international PR firm, Eric White Associates and later was involved with promotion and marketing for national home builders, A V Jennings. He recently retired and is now a part-time correspondent for The Range News and contributes to various national magazines. Our next meeting will be held at the Beerwah Library at 10.00am on Friday, June 4.

Visitors, guests and potential members will receive a warm welcome.

Slipper: “Rudd Labor Govt has failed locals” Australians depend on the government to make sensible decisions that have been thought through carefully, so that they provide a benefit to the people rather than have damaging and disastrous consequences.

Unfortunately, the Rudd Labor Government has failed all Australians dismally in a long list of policies, programmes, announcements and initiatives.

The most disastrous failing has been the home insulation programme, which, despite numerous safety warnings, went ahead with disastrous consequences. We have all heard about the tragic loss of four lives as a result of the

programme, not to mention more than 120 house fires and thousands of unsafe houses.

Other issues include the education building pro-gramme, which saw countless schools across Australia get new buildings that not only didn’t match the needs of the school, but were grossly over-priced and had the impact of driving up Australia’s foreign debt, which will take decades to repay, and helped to trigger consecutive home mortgage rate increases.

The list of failings also includes broken promises of a computer for every school student, the greens loans

programme, the Emissions Trading Scheme, fuel watch, grocery watch, immigration, illegal boat arrivals, and the list goes on. Australians deserve better.

Slipper gives helping hand to “Pyjama Gang” I’ve opened my office as a drop-off point for donations to The Pyjama Foundation’s annual pyjama collection drive.

The charity group collects sleepwear that is donated to children who are moved into foster care, the aim being to give these children some comfort in an unfamiliar world, and the campaign has been very well received, with almost

three dozen pyjamas donated by caring locals so far.

If you would like to help this campaign, new pack-aged pyjamas in sizes 0000 to adult can be delivered to my office at the Cartwright Centre, Cnr of Nicklin Way and Point Cartwright Drive, Buddina, Monday to Friday, 9am 5pm, 07-5444 4888.

Glasshouse Mountains Australian National Landscape

We keep reading about Glasshouse Mountains becoming listed in the Australian National Landscape. It was going to have 15 icons plus, and has now been increased to 20. This is great as we live in Glasshouse and live on one of the main roads (Coonowrin Road) close to a lot of these icons.

The entry and road going over the railway line is not a pretty sight (apart from the information centre which is immaculate). Travelling along Coonowrin Road some of the foot paths are a mess, a big thank you to the residents that do maintenance. It’s a pity S C Council do not offer some rebate for those who spend time cleaning their property. Also gutters are never cleaned allowing water to flow freely when we have those down pours.

Old Gympie Road is a disaster; it’s a lovely drive but at the moment it is not. People are dumping their tree waste because once again council are charging to dump waste and then charge you again if you want mulch. Delivery charge is fine but why all these extra costs?

Walkers have nowhere to walk but on the road as the grass is always too long. Come on council get Glasshouse tidied up!

We went for a drive out past the lookout last weekend; we hit the dirt road and came back because the road was in such a state you could not drive a car safely on the road. All this is great to encourage tourists to the area (Not!!!)

Landsborough Museum needs your help

Further to last week’s story in GCNews ‘Changing Faces of Government comes alive at Landsborough Museum’ (May 26), we would like to acknowledge that the restoration of Sir Francis Nicklin’s desk and the storyboard was made possible by the Sunshine Coast Council grant funding.

Due to circumstances beyond our control the Landsborough Museum will be closed on Saturdays from now on. Our opening days are Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday, from 9.00am - 2.30pm, and other days by appointment for group bookings. We urgently require more volunteers to help keep the museum open, so if you have a few hours to spare, please drop in or give us a call on 5494 1755.

Don’t mess with poo

With the near completion of the pathway along Mooloolah Connection road, I am worried that the pathway will become a track of horse poo for all 20

to dodge whilst walking. I love to walk my dog along the pathway. It’s safe but the horse poo on the pathway is a problem. As a responsible owner of an animal, it is our responsibility to pick up their faeces. Most do the right thing but most horse owners don’t! Caloundra City Council Local Law (No 4), Animal Control (point 19), Animals in public places (part 4), states 'Keeper of animal must immediately remove and dispose of all faeces in a sanitary manner if the animal defecates in a public place.' Also the Qld Transport Act 1995 (Operations road use Management), states 'Horses are considered vehicles and are not to be ridden on footpaths.'

I have no problems about horses moving on the footpaths, but please, horse owners, pick up their poo! We have been given a great walking track and we don’t need it ruined by this untidy mess.

David, Mooloolah

Crazy drivers?

After being almost knocked down by a cyclist coming behind me on a footpath this morning, I would like to request all bike riders ensure they attach and use a reliable warning device to warn pedestrians they are coming up behind them. Not a pathetic little ‘ding…ding’ which is very easily mistaken for a bird call!

Surely there is something available like a little horn device which gives a much more definite sound? Either that or perhaps we should have footpaths divided by a red line as in Germany where cyclists use the left hand side of the footpath and if you step on to that area you do so at your own risk. I am sure there are many other senior citizens like myself who have had a near escape from a nasty fall due to cyclists coming up silently behind them. Please be courteous and advise your presence in an audible manner.

Big night out a big success

On behalf of the Beerwah State School P&C Association, students, staff and families I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the many businesses that supported Beerwah’s Big Night Out on May 21. Our event was again a great success (despite the rain yet again) and we thank the hinterland community for their continued support for our major fundraiser. It was disappointing that due to the extreme inclement weather, the fireworks had to be cancelled. We would like to thank Troy Brahm for his advice and understanding when this difficult decision had to be made.

An event like this does not happen without many people contributing and I’d like to thank the families of our school, our staff, our organising committee, Beerwah Lions, Beerwah SES, the businesses who supported us and most importantly the residents of the hinterland who continue to support Big Night Out and make it a great success.

Coralie Lillecrapp President, Beerwah State School P&C Association

Follow up re speed limit at Steve Irwin Way, Glass House Mountains

In relation to the possible changing of the current speed limit applicable to Steve Irwin Way just south of the Glasshouse Mountains Sports Club from 100km/h to 80 km/h to just south of the Village Van Park.

I have been in touch with Mr Rowdy Goutens of Qld Transport/Main Roads of Maroochydore, he is aware of ministerial files from our Local Member Mr Andrew Powell, the Letters to the Editor of the Glasshouse Country News and general concerns

of the local community.

He has updated his records, made arrangements for action to be taken within the very near future, these are varied and required for presentation at the next Speed Management Committee meeting in about two months time.

Mr Tristan Robinson will be the new person in charge, he is already up-to-date on this matter and will endeavour to see the necessary requirements carried out and presented at this forthcoming meeting.

We will be appraised of the outcome, whatever that may be. The important thing is, the situation has been identified and placed before the appropriate persons, action is being taken and we now await its eventual outcome.

Brian Stallworthy, Glasshouse Mountains

A fine publication

I commend your team on your publication. A friend travelling through Glasshouse picked up a copy recently as she knew I had lived there some years ago. It has been a real pleasure to catch up with the many activities and events of your lovely area. Good luck to you all.

Peachester School ‘cleans up’!

What a great showcase of talent, dedication, skills and knowledge at the recent Sustainability and Gardens Expo in Beerwah! Not just a day’s work for anyone involved, but years of effort and learning and practice. Isn’t that what sustainability is all about…..building, nurturing and preserving for the future?

There is a little school in Peachester that understands this precept and proved that they are up for the challenge of looking to the future.

Peachester School ‘cleaned up’ in all four categories of the ‘School Sustainability Awards’.

In entering the awards for ‘Air’, ‘Land’, ‘Water’, and ‘Energy’ sustainability, the Peachester school’s Environmental Club, competently led by Teacher Aide extra-ordinaire, Mrs Dorothy Robb, bravely faced the competition judges for two rounds of critique.

A first round visit to the school by eminent judges, including Colin Campbell, saw the dedicated kids proud to show off their knowledge and endeavours within the grounds. Activities like accessing data from the weather station via computer, managing the greenhouse and worm farm, caring for native plants and nurturing seedlings, weeding out pests like ‘Cat’s Claw Creeper’, protecting the frog pond and it’s environment, understanding and monitoring solar panels, and recycling all waste products within and around the school were some of the elements that were discussed during this initial judging.

A comprehensive static display at the Expo which formed the second stage of judging, earned the Peachester School the prestige of overall champions for 2010.

The ‘Ambassador for Sustainability’ trophy for excellence in sustainability in the categories of Land, Water, Energy and Air will be a significant reminder of our endeavours for a sustainable future and will be proudly displayed at the school.

The challenge is now to maintain and to build on this success for the 2011 Awards……Bring it on Glasshouse country! Peachester School is the ‘Small School that makes a BIG Difference’!

Louise Lewis, President Peachester P & C

Seniors Forum

Parliamentary News

It was the perfect way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Fisher Seniors Forum and Expo. A large crowd of more than 250 people turned out for this year’s event at the Lake Kawana Community Centre.

The Shadow Minister for Seniors Bronwyn Bishop was a big draw card. The auditorium was packed when she took to the stage to discuss her dedication to Australia’s older population. Mrs Bishop then chatted individually to as many guests as time allowed.

The forum was complimented by over 20 information booths on the services and products available to local seniors. Guests always comment that the stalls are a convenient way to access so much information. The Fisher Seniors Forum and Expo is organised to help seniors feel connected to each other and to their community. Judging by the fantastic feedback, this is being achieved. That is why I look forward to staging the event for many years to come.

Meet Pete in the Park

It’s nearly time to fire up the barbie again. The next ‘Meet Pete in the Park’ barbecues are on Saturday, June 12. They are at 9.00am at Kings Beach, 11.00am at the Lake Kawana Entry Cove, 1.00pm at the Loo with a View BBQ area, Mooloolaba and 3.00pm at Boyle Park, Conondale. You can enjoy a freshly-cooked snag and a chat about what’s on your mind. It’s essential that I find out what matters to you. It’s also important for me to explain the work I’m doing here and in Canberra. Please RSVP on 5444 4888 for catering purposes.

Community Meetings

Friday, June 11 is a great day to get your voice heard. That’s when I’m holding several community meetings across my electorate. I arrange these regular events to give residents a convenient forum to raise their ideas and concerns. The meetings are at 9.00am at Pelican Waters Bowls Club, 11.00am at the Caloundra RSL Bowls Club, 1.00pm at the Landsborough School of Arts Memorial Hall, 3.00pm at the Mooloolah Valley Community Centre and 5.00pm at my office, at the Cartwright Centre, Nicklin Way. Please RSVP on 5444 4888 for catering purposes.

The last week in Parliament was certainly a busy one – I tabled two petitions in the House on behalf of Glass House constituents and caught up with the folk from the Glass House Probus Club who were on a tour for the day. I couldn’t spend as much time with Ella Daniels and the crew as I would have liked but I hope they had an enjoyable time. It really is a great day out with most tour groups arranging a bus down to the city in time for a tour and Question Time. And if you want, you can tack on a barbeque lunch on the terrace as well. Contact my office on 5495 2666 if you would like any more information on booking a tour.

In Parliamentary news, the Government passed four Bills, including the controversial Transport amendments which allows for the sale of Queensland Motorways and the Port of Brisbane. The same Bill also drip fed more information on the proposed new drivers licence or Smart Licence – I will keep you posted as more information comes to hand. There was also much debate on the new Racing Act.

Out and About

I had the opportunity to take part in the Glass House Country Sustainability and Garden Expo recently. Thanks to all of those who stopped by my little stall to say ‘hi’! It is certainly a great event and is very well organised – well done to Mr Bob McLean. I don’t think Bob sleeps much in the lead up to the Expo – and you can certainly see why.

Buy Smart Competition

I would like to encourage students from Years 5 to 12 to take part in the Buy Smart Competition organised by the Office of Fair Trading. The competition aims to help our young people develop smart financial and consumer habits and to learn more about their rights and responsibilities when it comes to making smart shopping choices! To enter the competition, students are required to identify research and present a financial or consumer issue to their classmates.

There are some great cash prizes for the students and their school so if you would like more information call my office on 5495 2666 or visit website www.fairtrading.qld.gov.au - entries close September 17.

Glasshouse Country Sustainability and Garden Expo

Upgrade of Brandenburg Road, Mooloolah

Congratulations to The Rotary Club of the Glass House Mountains and Expo Co-ordinator Bob McLean for a sensational Expo. This Expo, which was the brainchild of Bob’s and mine a few years ago, is now putting Glass House Country firmly on the map.

The council continues to support the Expo through a range of measures including a substantial grant, a range of services and through Bob’s constant conversations to my office for improved facilities. He is a pleasure to work with as is his professional team of community volunteers dedicating their time to showcase our region and sustainability.

There are a number of announcements to be made in relation to our Beerwah and District civic precinct - Hall and Library which I will be in a position to announce after the council delivers its 2010/11 budget. There will be new projects which will make a difference. The Sunshine Coast council delivers its budget on June 29.

Tree Removal by Energex

Energex will soon remove three eucalypt and two wattle trees at the intersection of Neill Road and Coochin Streets in Peachester. These trees previously had one side trimmed to pass the low voltage line running along Neill Road. Since they have installed the high voltage line from Beerwah Power Station to Woodford Power Station, the line now runs past this intersection, positioning these trees in the clearance zone for high voltage power lines. These removals will be carried out in the near future.

Thank you

Thank you to the many community organisations and friends who have expressed their sympathies on the passing of my 85-year-old Dad. There is never a good time to say farewell to those we love and age is no barrier to our grieving process.

It is always helped though when those around you step forward to express kind words.

On behalf of my mother and the Grosskreutz clan we thank you.

Glasshouse Country Christian College Growing in Faith and Knowledge

I am pleased to announce that Brandenburg Road works in Mooloolah are now reaching completion with upgrades on both the lower and upper sections of the road. The lower road section will remain gravel but will have substantial embankment widening to allow for better sight distance around the tight bends for increased safety. To ensure best value for money, earth was moved from the lower road section to fill and widen the upper road section, which will be sealed down to the first grid in early June. Works on the upper road section have included embankment stabilisation with rock baskets, upgraded drainage and the installation of kerbing to channel water off the road surface as quickly as possible. The road width has been increased to two lanes with guard rail in some locations for additional motorist safety.

Community Services update

Last week I represented the community on two more workshops in an endeavour to formalise the services across the new Sunshine Coast region.

The first workshop discussed three former council areas having different arrangements in place for supporting not-for-profit groups, with respect to water and rates, sports field maintenance, community buildings and facilities, tenure and funding.

The second workshop delved into financial assistance to community organisations. This work will continue and will be a challenge to council as it moves forward towards a united level of support across three regions.

Living well

Organic lifestyle the best way to avoid cancer The Biological Farmers of Australia (BFA) has further evidence that eating organic is the best way to avoid exposure to harmful carcinogens following the recent release of a US report.

The report, ‘Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk: What we can do now?’ released by the US President’s Cancer Panel and submitted to President Barack Obama, has urged their government to do everything within its power to remove carcinogens and other toxins from food, air and water.

BFA General Manager Holly Vyner believed the findings mirror what the organic industry has been striving for since its initiation 70 to 80 years ago.

“Organic is about healthy food choices,” Ms Vyner said.

“The prohibition of synthetic agro-chemicals, including all of those linked with health and environmental concerns is a cornerstone of organic food production,” she said.

Highlighting unregulated or understudied chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA), radon and formaldehyde and benzene, the report found that, while environmental exposures do not present a new front in the war on cancer, the ‘grievous harm’ caused by these chemicals has not been addressed sufficiently by the US National Cancer Program.

Information and support event for people affected by suicide Losing someone to suicide is a traumatic and devastating experience which can shatter the lives of those left behind struggling to survive their loss. An ‘After Suicide Information and Support Evening’ will be held at the Glasshouse Country Christian College, 58 Roberts Road, Beerwah on Friday, June 11.

The presenters will include Linda Espie, one of Australia’s leading grief and loss specialists, and Andrew Zanos, an accredited child and adolescent therapist who together share more than 50 years experience working with adults, children and young people.

This free community event will be held from 6.00pm - 8.00pm with opportunities for questions and a light supper provided at the close of the presentations.

StandBy Response Service Coordinator Lynda Neville said the event will offer a safe, supportive environment for the expression of feelings – which may not be easily shared with others who have not experienced this type of pain.

“People bereaved by suicide experience a unique type of loss and often feel isolated and alone in their grief. This is also true for children and young people who may have particular needs when faced with this type of loss,” she said.

For more details, please contact the StandBy Response Service at United Synergies on 5442 4277 or email: lneville@unitedsynergies.com.au

“Consumers who choose organic are often more aware of the potential side effects of farm chemicals in the food chain, and are working consciously to minimise their contact with environmental toxins,” Ms Vyner said.

In consultation with 45 experts from a range of industries, the panel investigated a small percentage of the 80,000 chemicals on the US market, putting forward a list of 11 recommendations to deal with ‘regulatory, political, industrial, and cultural barriers to understanding and reducing environmental and occupational carcinogenic exposures.’

The panel – appointed by the Bush administration – was chaired by Dr LaSalle D. Lefall, Jr, a professor of surgery at Howard University and Margaret Kripke, a professor at University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Ms Vyner went on to say that however, chemical-free is only a small part of the organic picture with plenty of research evidence to demonstrate that organic food is the choice when buying food and fibres produced with animal welfare, the environment and human health in mind.

The 240-page report is the first to deal specifically with environmental causes of cancer since the panel was created by an act of congress in 1971.

a reader that supports the EPUB format which allows you to download a huge collection of classic literature for free,” says Christopher Zinn, Choice spokesperson.

“Amazon’s Kindle, one of the first eBook readers on the market, doesn’t support EPUB. However, if you like reading the latest blockbuster as soon as it hits the shelves, then the Amazon bookstore has the widest variety of new titles.”

The Choice testers asked readers to assess six eBook reader models in a number of conditions: outdoor daylight, normal indoor lighting, and night-time lighting.

The results were fairly uniform, with only a five per cent difference in overall score separating the six readers. Prices ranged from $321.00 for the Kindle 2 to $566.00 for the larger format Kindle DX. (Since our testing, Borders has brought out its eBook reader, the Kobo, for $199.00, making it the cheapest on the market.)

All the models tested display greyscale graphics using E ink which mimics the traditional printed page. The newly released Apple iPad, which can also be used as an eBook reader, has a backlit screen and more reflective surface making it less comfortable on the eye.

(The Apple iPad will be reviewed in the July issue of Choice).

Choice recommends looking at the accessories that come with the reader, its connectivity (some readers can connect to the internet wirelessly to download books), memory capacity, and the file formats supported. Some units also allow you to make notes in much the same way as you would write in the margins of a text book.

“Ultimately, you need to pick up the eBook reader and see how it feels to hold in your hands.

Are the page turning buttons comfortable to use and is the screen size unwieldy or too dinky?” says Mr Zinn.

The June issue of Choice article also includes a list of sites to download titles - both free and for purchase.

The health of Australians will be getting its most comprehensive check-up ever, with the Australian Health Survey announced recently.

To be conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics under the Census and Statistics Act 1905, the survey will build on ABSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long running health survey program.

The survey is being planned in close consultation with the Department of Health and Ageing and the National Heart Foundation of Australia, who have provided supporting funding for new components of the collection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an important survey for all Australians,â&#x20AC;? the Australian Statistician, Mr Brian Pink said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be the most comprehensive health survey ever undertaken by the ABS and will be an important benchmark to help determine future health strategies.â&#x20AC;?

The survey will include new and better measures of what Australians are eating and how physically active they are. It will also collect other health information, such as whether people have been diagnosed with arthritis or heart disease.

In another first, the survey will also measure chronic disease risk factors such as cholesterol levels and blood pressure.

In support of the survey, the Heart Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CEO, Dr Lyn Roberts said information from this survey will help improve understanding of cardiovascular disease, which is currently responsible for one-third of all deaths in Australia. Around 50,000 people across Australia will be asked to take part in the survey, which will start in April 2011.

Bowen Therapy is an oil free body work technique which is safe to use on most people including babies, the elderly and pregnant women.

The treatment can be applied through loose clothing and may take up to an hour.

Testimonial I am 47-years-old and I was diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of 17.

Over the years it has become progressively worse. I have been receiving Bowen Therapy from Lesa Medhurst for the past 18 months and find the treatment very beneficial. I also have Bowen Therapy on my legs, arms, feet, shoulders and face (for sinus) on a regular basis to maintain my well being. I find when I stop having regular treatment my well being suffers.

Lesa treats me in the privacy and comfort of my own home and I find her to be very efficient, discreet and thorough with her attentiveness.

My grandson also suffers from severe scoliosis and receives Bowen treatments to help with any discomfort he is having.

Out & about in Glasshouse country Celebrating Indigenous culture at Beerwah High On Wednesday, May 26, National Sorry Day, Beerwah State High School hosted a special event celebrating Indigenous culture. Over 200 people attended including students from local primary schools and secondary schools across the Sunshine Coast.

Indigenous elders led activities and shared their knowledge with the local community.

Visitors were offered the opportunity to learn to play didgeridoo, watch and learn traditional Indigenous dance, paint anti-smoking posters for a competition, make beads and platted bracelets, engage in games and other workshops and more.

Grant Shaw, aka, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Indigenous Community Advisor, said the day was to help with reconciliation.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to let everyone know that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all just one sort of people. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what you look like or who you are, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all one person,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Boris Croft, Head of Student Services at Beerwah High said the Indigenous Student Council from Beerwah High helped put this event all together with Tank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a fun day and just a celebration to get out important messages.â&#x20AC;?

The day was funded by a Queensland Health â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Event Support Program Grantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and promoted an anti-smoking message to the community highlighting the fact that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Smoking is costing us our cultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Bowel Cancer: Tackle it before it tackles you!

Cancer Council Queensland has invited all Sunshine Coast residents to attend an important information session on bowel cancer on Thursday, June 17 at Cancer Council Queensland Maroochydore Office (Corner Maroochydore Road and Baden Powell Street) at 2.00pm.

At the information session, Rochelle Coombs, Health Promotion Officer, Queensland Bowel Cancer Screening Program will provide guests with vital information about bowel cancer.

In 2006, bowel cancer (also known as colorectal cancer) was the third highest cause of cancer death in both Queensland men and women.

Approximately one in 10 Queensland men and one in 13 women will be diagnosed with bowel cancer during their lifetime.

According to Cancer Action Co-ordinator for Cancer Council Queensland, Lucy Smith, the risk of bowel cancer is higher in people aged 50 and over but it can occur at any age.

She said early detection is vital as it provides a better chance of cure, and people should consult their general practitioner if they experience any unusual changes to their bowel habits.

Food, nutrition and physical activity all have a role to play in the prevention of bowel cancer, she said, and this information session will educate community members on what symptoms to look for and why a healthy lifestyle has an important role to play to fight bowel cancer.

Light refreshments will be provided and there’s an opportunity for a lucky person to win a $100.00 Bunnings voucher and there are also other great prizes. There will also be information packs donated by Kawana Shopping World. For bookings and further information, phone Cancer Council Queensland on 5451 6000 by June 11 (seats are strictly limited).

‘How’s your big, fat, floppy bum going?’ asked the ad on the back page of the local paper for a local gym. ‘Quite well’, I thought to myself, ‘and getting better all the time’. (Although Goodger men are known more for the spreading of their middles than their behinds). It seemed an odd way to motivate people to get into physical fitness and weight loss.

Guilt has never been a good motivator for me.

I have always responded to a more positive approach. But it did get me thinking about my middle-age spread which has developed over the last few years.

While I believe God made me Ken Goodger shaped, I have noticed that whereas 20 years ago I could eat anything and even if a drop of sweat left me I’d lose five pounds, nowadays if I even look at a piece of chocolate cake, I feel my tummy straining against the top button of my pants.

I wrote a similar column last year in which I stated that we should be happy with who we are, and while I’m still of that opinion, perhaps I can look after who I am a bit better.

The bible says that our bodies are a temple, but I’ve been treating my temple like a condemned building in recent years. Maybe I should do some re-thinking. While I don’t believe we need to guilt ourselves into change, it might be good for us if we take a bit of care, so that our temples will last a bit longer and don’t come tumbling down sooner than God intended.

Property of the week

Reno on ½ acre - good bones - potential plus!!!

Make sure you put this one on your list to view it has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and is on a huge ½ acre block with unobstructed views to Mount Tibrogargan.

And at this price, you would be crazy not to inspect it.

The living areas are open plan, and the bathrooms are in excellent condition, however the kitchen needs a little TLC. With some new paint and floor coverings, and perhaps a new rear patio to take advantage of the stunning views, this property will reward you with good capital growth.

The house is situated on the top corner of the block leaving heaps of yard space and enough room for a pool and shed.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s located on a corner block, surrounded by quality homes and only a few minutes walk to the school. Priced at $420,000.

Phone Lilli Gibson on 0409 922 857 for your private viewing.

New incentive for first home owners to move to regions

A $11,000 Regional First Home Owners Grant to build new homes will boost construction jobs in the state's regional areas and take population growth pressure off south east, according to Queensland Premier Anna Bligh.

The new grant is a $4,000 boost to the existing $7,000 First Home Owners Grant and follows on from the Queensland Growth Management Summit.

"With a city the size of Mackay moving to the South East each year we simply must look at ways to encourage growth in other regions to take the pressure off SEQ. "I believe this grant will be part of enticing first home owners to look outside SEQ and see the wonderful opportunities that exist in the other parts of the state."

She said the government will also develop a population and economic activity led Queensland Regionalisation Strategy, with a draft to be developed over the next 18 months for public release with the final strategy to be completed in 2011. As well as consulting in Brisbane, she said the government has been listening to regional Queenslanders on their ideas and feedback about regionalisation via eight regionalisation forums.

GMAN Nursery

Contributed by Gwen Malcom, nursery manager Congratulations to Bob Mc Lean and his crew for a wonderful Expo and thank you to all those keen gardeners who visited our stand and bought plants. It is pleasing to note the interest in the Richmond Birdwing Butterfly and we hope the increased planting of the host vine in the area will one day mean that these beautiful butterflies are a common sight in our gardens. We still have good stocks of vines in our nursery for those who wish to extend their plantings.

To those Land for Wildlife members who have vouchers outstanding, please bring them to me and where possible collect plants by June 7 as I will be away from June 14 for two weeks. For plants required in that time please phone Bill or Jane Thompson 5496 9490.

Don’t forget that winter is still a good time to plant natives especially with the occasional showers and cooler weather.

Tips fr om

COMMUNITY RECYCLING INC

June 4 – World Environment Day Presentations for World Environment Day will be held in Melbourne on June 4. This is a good time to take action and reduce what you send into land fill.

Clothing is one thing we often place in the bin.

Why not pop your unwanted clothing into the organge bins at the local resource recovery centre? Did you know that several tons of clothing and rags go into landfill every week? Some local welfare agencies actually import rags to cover the short fall.

Rags and clothing (stained or in good condition) are in great demand at the moment.

Winter is here and blankets, bedspreads and other rags are also much in need.

Congratulations to those readers who have tried some of our tips and called onto the centre to share their experiences.

Also congratulations to the schools that entered into the Sustainable Garden section of the recent Garden Expo held in Beerwah. I was privileged to see some of the gardens first hand. These schools used recycled items to add charm and mystique into their garden. Well done teachers, parents, students and volunteers.

‘One of the easiest ways of recycling black pots for plants is to use paint and colour them. Place them close together and use the one size or start with large pots and work down to the smaller pots. If you are renting you can take your garden with you when you go!’

The above tip comes from S. Tenkate from Caloundra

with Jade King Rewarding Rarity!

This month in my garden I have been rewarded with the harvest of two unusual vegetables – Yacon and Chinese Water Chestnuts.

Yacon

Yacon, otherwise known as Peruvian ground apple is a relative of the sunflower that grows to about two metres tall. It is grown for its edible storage tubers that can grow quite large and it can be eaten raw or cooked.

The Yacon can be propagated from tubers and takes about six to seven months to reach maturity. However, you can dig around the base and pull out small tubers at anytime, much like you do when harvesting new potatoes.

The small reddish tubers (the propagules) should be grown in well cultivated, organically rich soil and watered regularly. However, I must admit my poor yacon plant relied solely on what mother nature provided, and still gave us an amazing crop of sweet delicious tubers.

So now that this tuber has ticked the boxes of ‘easy to grow’ and ‘attractive to look at’, you may be wondering, what does it taste like? Well this is where it seems to be difficult to describe, with some saying it tastes like a cross between sugar cane, apple and water chestnut, whilst I liken it to a cross between apple and watermelon.

However it is described, my family loves it!

Chinese Water Chestnuts

I personally have to say that this plant has been a beautiful feature in my vegetable garden, with masses of sedge like foliage protruding from metal buckets placed amongst my garden beds.

The Chinese water chestnut is a popular Asian cooking ingredient. They can be grown in a pond, an old bathtub or a salvaged water tank cut in half, or in my case, a bucket!

All that I did to grow my water chestnuts was fill my bucket three quarters full of compost, and plant the corm to a depth of 5cm and then kept it moist until the first shoots were about 10cm high. After that I maintained the water level to about 10cm deep.

I must admit that when it came to using my Chinese Water Chestnut I was a little daunted because I am not accustomed to cooking Asian cuisine. However, after passing some of my treasured chestnuts to a talented friend who returned them in Thai chicken wontons, I shall now be enthusiastically attempting Asian cooking…they were delicious!

When Spring comes, I will definitely be getting my Yacon propagules out of dry storage and my saved Chinese Water Chestnuts from the fridge, and planting another batch for next year! Until next time in Get Up and Grow…

Yacon

Water Chestnuts

Sunshine Coast Branch – Australian Hibiscus Society The annual show held on May 1 by the Sunshine Coast Branch of the Australian Hibiscus Society was extremely well attended by members of the public. Despite adverse growing conditions over the last few months, the Woombye School of Arts Hall was ablaze with spectacularly colourful hibiscus flowers. Competition amongst members was keen and this made judging of the various classes, including Grand Champion, difficult for our five judges. The kitchen did a brisk trade which enabled visitors to sit and relax whilst

admiring the beautiful hibiscus blooms and to chat with our friendly members. As always, plant sales were very popular with over 100 plants being sold.

Our next monthly meeting will be held on Sunday, June 13 in the Lower Hall of the Woombye School of Arts Hall, Blackall Street, Woombye. Come and enjoy morning tea at 10.00am followed by our meeting at 10.30am. Everyone most welcome.

Please phone Allan on 5493 0309 or John on 5445 9757 for any further enquiries.

Sports news

Glasshouse Country Bowls Club

Girls take to the field for pre-origin showdown of a different kind There was plenty more muscle than grunt when members of the new Central Queensland women’s rugby team took to the field at Beerwah last weekend.

The team, which heads to Mackay next weekend for the state carnival, includes Landsborough local Emma Liesegang, who, at only 18 years of age, is the baby of the team. Emma is not new to the sport, having played for the Beerwah Bulldogs under 17 team last year, and now plays for the Sunshine Coast Sirens.

Keep an eye out for Emma and other members of this powerhouse team of women who will represent the Central Division, stretching from Bribie Island to Rockhampton, who will no doubt all be gunning for a Queensland maroon guernsey when the team for the first female State of Origin is announced after the state carnival.

Contributed by Trevor Bertram Glasshouse Ladies Win Champion of Champions Our Glasshouse Ladies 2010 Club Fours Champions won the Caboolture District Champion of Champions at Bribie Island on Tuesday. The team comprising Di Garland, Margaret Lehmann, Anne Howard and Monika Duff defeated the Solander Lake Fours Champions in the final.

Congratulations Ladies.

The State School Girls Netball Titles were held at the Caloundra indoor stadium from May 27 to 30, with 12 different regions coming together from all over the state to contest the under 15’s and under 19’s titles and hopefully be selected for the Queensland teams. Kaysanne Hockey a Beerwah high school Year 12 student was selected in the under 19 Sunshine Coast regional team.

The girls did really well over the four days winning the championship with a hard fought victory in the grand final against Brisbane’s Met West team. The Sunny coast girls managed to

get three girls from the team selected for the Queensland team, the regions under 15 girls also did well finishing 2nd and getting girls selected for the state team.

“It was a good way to finish off my school netball years, with a State Titles win, Kaysanne said.

Kaysanne plays most of her net ball in defence and was very proud of the team having the lowest amount of goals scored against them over the carnival. Kaysanne aims to continue playing netball up at Maroochydore, and hopes to get the opportunity in the future to try out for the Coasts Lynx team.

There were 46 of our Bowlers who ventured to Goondiwindi from May 20 to 24. The Travelling Bowlers played at Inglewood, Texas and Goondiwindi. We all had a good time although there were a lot of yellow and red cards handed out for bad behaviour. Brian S. and Brendan F. were the talk of the town for their different choice of uniform. A little suspect I would say. Nev Shaw received the big dummy for his carry on on the Green. The rest of us behaved well. See you all next year.

Beerwah Bulldogs May 29 Report

The Bulldogs hosted the Caboolture Snakes at Beerwah on Saturday looking to turn around their disappointing trip to Gympie last weekend.

The Under 18’s took on a revved up Snakes outfit that was looking for their first win of the season.

The home side looked to be doing it well on the field but could not get away from the Snakes on the Scoreboard.

In the end the Bulldogs got their season back on track with a five tries to two victory and will look to climb up the ladder again next Sunday when we take on the Noosa Pirates at Beerwah.

Reserve Grade again kept their discipline and it showed as they were well into the contest against a much bigger and well drilled Caboolture Team.

The Final Scoreline of 42 - 24 does not do the game justice. It was a really good performance from the boys who just need to work on a few things at training to be very competitive in the competition.

The Domino’s Pizza Players Player awards went to Chris Morris (U18) and Damien Townsend (Reserve Grade).

The Bulldogs play again at home next Sunday against the Noosa Pirates would love to see all the supporters come along again to support the club.

Reserve Grade Caboolture Sharks – 42 - (Dave Mayfield-Smith 2, Rowan Simpson 3, William Holcroft 1, Josh Wust 1, Wiki Le-ulu Brown 1 - Tries) (Josh Vernall 3, Rory McLeod 2 - Goals) def Beerwah Bulldogs - 24 - (Damian Townsend 2, Gary Atkinson 1, Graham Green 1 - Tries) (Damian Townsend 4 - Goals) Under 18 Beerwah Bulldogs - 22 - (Justin Pittman 2, Ashley Sleeman 1, Jamie Newton 1, Branden Cochrane 1 - Tries) (Justin Pittman 1 - Goals) def Caboolture Snakes – 10 - (Dalton Phillips 1, Adam Otter 1 - Tries) (Jake Doherty 1 - Goals) Junior Results Under 12 Bulldogs v Bribie – Won 40 - 4 Under 13 Bulldogs v Caloundra – Draw 20 - 20 Under 14 Bulldogs v Caboolture – Lost 45 - 26 Under 15 Bulldogs v Kawana – Won 19 - 18 Under 16 Bulldogs v Kawana – Draw 16 - 16 Under 16 Girls v Coolum – Lost 28 - 16

Two Irishmen, Patrick and Michael, were adrift in a lifeboat following a dramatic escape from a burning freighter. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, Patrick stumbled across an old lamp.

Secretly hoping that a genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To Patrick’s amazement a genie came forth. This particular genie however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving much thought to the matter, Patrick blurted out, “make the entire ocean into Guinness Beer!"

The genie clapped his hands with a deafening

crash, and immediately the entire sea turned into the finest brew ever sampled by mortals.

Simultaneously, the genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping of Guinness on the hull broke the stillness as the two men considered their circumstances.

Michael looked disgustedly at Patrick whose wish had been granted. After a long, tension-filled moment, he spoke. “Nice going Patrick! Now we're going to have to pee in the boat.”
