Hi everyone On Friday night I went along to the official opening of the new Flair Jewellery store at Beerwah Shopping Village – just up from the Post Office. It was definitely standing room only, with the crowd flowing out onto the veranda. The whole event was very stylish, and was complemented with lovely live music and great catering. It was good to see so many people there to share in the celebration. When there is so much talk of gloom and doom for the retail sector it is encouraging to see companies expanding their business into our local area. Flair Jewellery is well established and has businesses at Kawana and Bribie Island and now they have located themselves in the centre of the universe (well our universe).

On Saturday morning, as part of their opening celebrations, they had a fantastic prize draw of a diamond ring, and on Monday morning I met the lucky winner Emma Moses. Emma was so excited and, as she was already wearing some Flair jewellery, she is definitely someone who would appreciate her prize – but then I can’t imagine woman not being happy with a diamond ring! Regards,

Council blows out candles on charity sports 40th birthday event There’ll be no celebration this year to mark what would have been the 40th anniversary of the iconic Beerwah Charity Sports Day, with the event being called off, due to the apparent failure of council to complete the entrance of the multi-million dollar Beerwah Sortsground Complex.

Beerwah Charity Sports Committee Chair Bruce Page said the annual event won’t be held this year because the necessary infrastructure isn’t there. “We’re very disappointed that we are unable to run this year’s event,� Mr Page said. Mr Page said the committee was still waiting on council to carry out necessary safety works after one of its own engineers deemed the entrance road unsafe, just three weeks prior to last year’s event. “Despite reassurances and a commitment from Council to ensure that urgent safety work on the entrance road would be carried out before last year’s event, nothing was done, and it was only thanks to Trackstar who allowed us to use their service lane and provided traffic control that the event was able to be held last year,� Mr Page said. Mr Page said because the committee haven’t been able to get a response from Council over the status

The Charity Sports Committee put their trust in council last year, but weren't prepared to do it again this year of the upgrades, they had to make the hard decision at a meeting last week to defer the 40th anniversary event until next year. Mr Page said he had made representations to Council’s CEO John Knaggs in September last year, and still hasn’t had any response, not even an acknowledgement. “In February, I had a two and a half hour meeting with the Deputy Mayor, Tim Dwyer, to discuss our concerns, and we hope another meeting with him this week will give us some direction, but in the meantime, we’ve had to defer this year’s event because we still have no guarantee the roadworks will be attended to.� “We’re very disappointed that we can’t organise a community fundraiser and we will continue to work with Council and the community to ensure next year’s event goes ahead,� Mr Page said. cont. on page 4

cont. from page 3 “We will still personally visit all sponsors to maintain enthusiasm for next year’s event, as we are really keen to not lose any of the tremendous support we’ve had from local businesses and the community for the event in the past.” Divisional Councillor Anna Grosskreutz said Council is waiting on funds from TrackStar for the installation of culverts at the Beerwah Sportsground and environmental permits from government agencies before construction can commence. “Despite this, it is my firm belief that there is nothing stopping the organisers of the Charity Sports Day from having their show this year. The 7th Annual Beerwah Cars, Bikes, Bands and Burnout Competition, held over the Easter

Weekend, attracted a significantly bigger crowd at the site and it was highly successful. For that event, a road was constructed that was adequate for horse floats and large vehicles to get through using tonnes of fill donated by Hanson Quarry and extensive work by volunteers and paid excavator operators. This road is still intact,” Cr Grosskreutz said. She also said council worked with the organisers of that event to ensure it worked well, and would offer the same assistance to the organisers of the Beerwah Charity Sports Day, through their event permit application. “This event has a long history in the region and I would personally like to see it continue this year and in the years to come.”

Last Thursday, on June 3, Forestry Plantations Queensland co-ordinated the event, bringing crews together from FPQ, the Department of Environment and Resource Management, the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service and the Moreton Bay and Sunshine Coast Councils. As part of the exercise, fires were lit using a Red Dragon device attached to the helicopter which dropped ‘dragon eggs’. In other parts of the forest an ‘arsonist’ lit random fires. Fire attack helicopters and crews undertook water bombing, incendiary and aerial surveillance training. Exercise coordinator, FPQ Protection and Training Officer Tony Johnston said fire was the one thing that kept forestry workers on a constant alert. “The plantations were recently sold for $603 million and a fire that rages out of control can quickly turn these assets to ashes as well as place the community at risk,” he said. Stray matches, sparks from worn trailer axles, powerlines blown together by winds, careless campers and arsonists have all caused fire losses to plantations in the past. All agencies involved in wildfire are well trained and experienced in a range of wildfire suppression techniques, and the exercise provided an opportunity for further training and practice. FPQ relies on a system of fire fighter training, firebreaks, fuel reduction burning, surveillance and rapid fire suppression to manage wildfires.

The cheapest mozzie nets around Beerwah may be a small town, but its residents are making a big difference in a community across the other side of the world. Several months ago, local business woman Margaret Briggs of Wort Organics met an amazing young man, Ben Otieno who was visiting the Hinterland on his first trip outside his homeland of Kenya. Here by invitation, Ben shared stories of his culture, his country and of the ambitious community project started by his brother Winston who died of a snakebite in Ben’s arms. Margaret attended one of his talks and was so inspired, she decided to raise funds for Ben’s village of Mblori. The project focuses on food, security, health, education for young girls, providing shelter and building a dispensary and orphanage. “They have many needs so I asked Ben and found out his top priority was mosquito nets. I put together a raffle which raised enough money to buy the first round of nets for the women and children.” When Margaret approached Steven Holmes, manager of Beerwah Hotel with a request to host the next raffle for more nets, Steven was happy to help. Strong supporters of local charities and causes, it’s the first fundraiser of this type the Hotel has done and it’s really gaining great support from all who stop to look. Margaret believes most people can relate to something as simple as a mossie net and are happy to pay $2.00 a ticket.

“Of course they could also win the basket filled with delicious treats and alcohol that would guarantee a great weekend in!” The raffle basket is on display at Beerwah Hotel with tickets available there until the draw on Sunday, June 13. For more information on the Mbolori Community Development Initiative visit www.mboloricommunitydev.org. To get involved in future fundraising projects, contact Margaret Briggs at kkkmbriggs1@bigpond.com

The first round of mosquito nets are gratefully received by women in a village in Kenya

Your local lawyers, caring about you...

By Ben Guillemet Brent was a mountain of a man, a gentle giant. A man whose heart and character were so big that they had to make his body twice the size of a normal mans, just to fit them in. He was a rough diamond, but a sparkling one at that. A giant of a man, but a gentle giant. Intimidating to the eye, but endearing to the heart. He had a sense of humour to match his stature, and his broken smile and deep belly laugh could often be heard from afar. He was a legend of the steel horse. He loved few things more than his bikes.

Brent Dumper was only one thing in the whole world he loved more than his bikes… his family. And while he was a true friend to many, many people, he was a father, a husband, a son and a grandfather first. There’s an old saying… “It’s not the years in a life that matter, but the life in the years.” There is no doubt that he lived a very full life. He may have been taken far too early from us, but the man himself certainly lived more than his years. He will be remembered with absolute fondness by all that knew him. RIP Brent, we will miss you.

A brand new day for solar?

Ian Christesen It is, quite literally, a hot topic. For some time and for many people, the cost of installing solar power has outweighed the benefits, but the pendulum is swinging. Solar power is becoming a much more attractive option of late, with rising electricity prices putting increasing pressure on already strained household budgets. With the retail industry the latest casualty of a stagnant economy, households are looking for smarter savings, and it would seem, solar power is hot favourite. Local licensed installer Jay Stuurop of Astro Electric and Air said there was a high demand for solar power, and with a generous solar credit scheme on offer, now was a good time to consider it. “With the government scrapping its rebate schemes, the current scheme based on REC’s (renewable energy certificates) makes it an affordable alternative,” says Jay. He said at the moment, households can expect to pay around $3,000 for a 1.5 kilowatt system, fully installed, and while results can vary, depending on individual consumption patterns and a host of other factors, a 1.5kw system will certainly see you save on your household electricity bill.

A three kilowatt system can usually negate a typical household power bill, while a slightly bigger system, up to five kilowatts, will make you money. And it doesn’t matter what sort of roof you have – solar grid systems can be fitted to just about any type of roof, says Jay. Installation can take anywhere from half a day up to two days, but with minimal inconvenience to the homeowner. Sunshine Coast Environment Council’s renewable energy and climate change spokesperson Ian Christesen said the current campaign to see 10,000 systems installed on the Sunshine Coast over the next three years has met with a positive response. He said the Sunshine Coast was currently leading the state in terms of the installation of solar power grids, with 4,000 homes already benefiting from the energy and financial savings. “Many people are rightly concerned about the ever increasing cost of electricity and many see solar energy as a way of future-proofing themselves from further electrical price hikes,” he said. Mr Christesen said what needs to happen is the same sort of transformation that happened with domestic water usage when the water crisis hit a few years ago. “Solar power needs to become for energy what rainwater tanks became for water,” he said. Solar power makes a lot of economic sense, and with people now starting to take more personal responsibility for their carbon emissions, there is certainly growing demand, Mr Christesen said. “We live on the Sunshine Coast, so it would make sense that we strive to become the first region to be powered by it, wouldn’t that be great to see?”

For more information about the benefits of solar power, visit the Sunshine Coast Environment Council’s website at www.scec.org.au For more information about the right system for you, contact a local qualified and accredited solar power installer.

From the schools Beerwah High’s Year 10 students’ mock interviews Contributed by Cindy Reader, industry liaison officer Year 10 mock interviews were held on Wednesday, May 19 and May 26 and were assisted by the Beacon Ambassadors. Students arrived with their resumes, references and career aspirations. The employers and local businesses spent around 15 minutes interviewing each student and

Lee Shea from QYILS, Emily O’Connell, Beacon Ambassador and Lyndall Williams from MEGT

providing an evaluation on what they did well and areas to improve on. Students also had the opportunity to receive assistance and critiques to improve their resumes. The representatives viewed the resumes and provided one-on-one feedback to the students. For the majority of students, this was their first formal interview and many felt that it was definitely a beneficial learning experience. We were very fortunate to have approximately 35 employers and local businesses who volunteered their time and I am impressed with the dedication and involvement with our school. This is a great experience for the students to practice what is taught in the classroom and it wouldn’t be possible without these volunteers.

in Years 10, 11 and 12 from Australian and New Zealand schools. Each year the conference is held in a different city in Australia or New Zealand. The conference is organised by the Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science (ANZAAS), to give students a broad perspective on the aims and practice of scientific endeavour, ranging from satisfying curiosity and the drive to discover, to the application of science in the real world. The conference also allows students to meet likeminded peers and other young adults who share their passion for science. Sarah will attend lectures by top scientists and visit research institutions. She will be able to meet scientists and find out what a career in science is all about. We wish her every blessing as she goes and look forward to hearing about her experience.

Winter arts show at Unity College

Fun House Jazz En Pointe Dancers A night of music and dance is always certain to draw a crowd and Unity College’s annual Winter arts show was no exception. Held on a chilly evening last week, the excited crowd was treated to a smorgasbord of performances. From the sensational Phantom of the Opera ballet presented by the dazzling En Pointe dancers, to the thought-provoking dramatic sequences of the college drama classes, there was energy and entertainment in every item. Year 12 drama students opened the evening by delving into the surreal with an intriguing musical drama. A bright and funky dance routine from the college dance ensemble set a lively tone and the music resonated as Year 10 music students followed with a beautiful rendition of Coldplay’s hit Viva La Vida. From the energetic Year 9 dance routines, gorgeous melodies performed by the junior and senior choirs, comedy drama presented by the Year 11 drama class and a melancholy look at life through the theatre of the ‘Absurd’ by Year 12s, the evening had something for everyone. Impressive also was the display of artwork from students in Years 7 to 12. Techniques included the depiction of two and three-dimensional representations, printmaking and assemblage, use of recycled materials and the creation of sculptural masks. Industrial technology and design students had everyone’s attention with their creations ranging from exceptional furniture pieces in quality cabinet timbers through toys, utility items and games. An appreciation of fine workmanship was evident in all pieces. In true Unity College style, a delicious supper was on offer during the interval with Year 10 food technology students and the college cafe contributing their best efforts. Home-baked brownies, hot chocolate and warming soup rounded off a very enjoyable evening. Unity College is proud to support the creative talents of its students and the winter show includes students from across the Prep to Year 12 spectrum. The creative spirit and immense enthusiasm of both students and staff will certainly continue to flourish with the opening of the college’s new Assembly Hall in 2011.

Merv and Rosa marriage 1985

Footy Hams

13/21 Peachester Rd, Beerwah (Next to Video 2000 Turner Park)

Their 25th wedding anniversary was celebrated with a family tea at Glasshouse Country Uniting Church on Sunday, May 30 and was attended by Rev David, Rosa’s family, and Merv and Rosa’s friends from Kawana and Glasshouse Country Uniting Churches. Following a truly scrumptious three course dinner, Merv and Rosa renewed their wedding vows at a service where the UC Youth Group Band and the UC Ensemble led the singing of Merv and Rosa’s favourite hymns and some choruses. Congratulations and best wishes Merv and Rosa.

Locals from Landsborough, Merv and Rosa Badrick, were married at the Landsborough Uniting Church on June 1, 1985 by Rev David Wiltshire. This was the first wedding performed by Rev David and the first marriage for both Merv and Rosa.

Support a local!

All profits stay local, local farm, local staff, local owners.

We will provide strong economic management. Tony Abbott and the Liberal National team will balance the Budget, reduce Labor’s debt, ease financial pressure on Australian families and protect jobs.

We will oppose Mr Rudd’s great big new mining tax. Mr Rudd’s new tax is a serious threat to all Australians. It will put jobs, investment and superannuation at risk and cause massive flow-on effects across our economy, including higher electricity prices and building costs.

We will implement a fair dinkum paid parental leave scheme. Our scheme will provide six months parental leave at full pay, giving women real time and real money to care for their newborns.

We will stop the National Broadband Network. Australia can’t afford to spend $43 billion on Labor’s white elephant National Broadband Network, when local roads and infrastructure should be a greater priority.

We will protect private health insurance and improve local health services. Tony Abbott and the Liberal National team will fight to take the pressure off families and public hospitals by opposing Mr Rudd’s cuts to the private health care rebate. We believe Australia’s local hospitals need more doctors, nurses and beds – not more bureaucrats. Our plan for real action will help our public hospitals with strong local hospital boards that put patients first.

We will take real action to reduce emissions and protect our environment. We will establish an Emissions Reduction Fund to reduce carbon emissions and deliver real environmental benefits. We will also form a standing Green Army to tackle local environmental challenges.

Only Peter Slipper and the Liberal National team stand for lower taxes, smaller government and a fair go for families.

What were a few of the highlights of your holiday? Shop till you drop! What a trip! Loads of retail therapy in Hong Kong, then across the border to Shenzhen in China to continue my therapy. Well‌that’s what I thought, until I decided to try a different type of therapy. Maybe a traditional Chinese massage? Mmmmm, that sounded good. But alas, how wrong could I be! Pushed, prodded, poked, twisted this way and that, every which way. Oh, my poor bruised body. Just goes to show, when Mell (from Beerwah Travel) suggests therapy, she really means the retail kind only. Thanks again Mell (I think)! What was the most unusual thing you experienced/came across on your trip? A traditional massage parlour Any other special information you would like to share with readers? Yep – stick to shopping and skip the massage.

Send us your tales from a recent trip and go in the draw to win a 2 night cruise aboard the Dawn Princess next year. A very special thanks to Mell Silburn from Beerwah Travel for sponsoring this fantastic prize, valued at approx $1,900.00. SEND YOUR TRAVEL STORY AND PHOTOS TO reception@gcnews.com.au

with Dr Braxton Turnage How Long Will Your Spine Last? As discussed previously, chiropractors are experts in the art of detecting and correcting abnormally functioning spinal bones (subluxations). Because your spinal cord and nerves are inside and around your spine, correction of these subluxations allows your nerves to function at their best. Because your nerves control every function of your body, this can have tremendous effects on your health, energy levels, and quality of life. Chiropractic would be fantastic if its only benefit was allowing your body to function better. But guess what, it does more than that! Regular chiropractic care slows down spinal degeneration as well. There is a common misconception that as people age, their spine becomes fragile and wears out. This is a 100 per cent true statement‌if you allow it. If you don’t maintain the care of your spine, just like anything else, it will degenerate. If you don’t brush your teeth, they will likely decay and fall out. If you don’t regularly maintain your vehicle, it will likely leave you stranded on the side of the road. Your spine is no different. To maintain the health of your bones, it is essential to eat properly and perform weight bearing exercises. There is one more crucial part; your spine MUST be able to move properly. Just like misaligned tyres or misaligned teeth will not last as long as they should, the same is true of your spine. Misaligned spinal bones cause uneven stresses on the spine. Those bones that have to carry more of the load of your body will undoubtedly degenerate at a faster rate. Chiropractic adjustments are essential to restoring proper spinal motion and maintaining a healthy spine. Pain, stiffness, pins and needles, numbness, and muscle weakness are but a few common side effects of a degenerative spine. How’s yours?

When Heather Christie, 51, embarks on this year’s Great Endeavour Rally in July she’ll be thinking of someone very special, her brother Robert, who is the reason she’s tackling the 3,500 kilometre journey from Burleigh to Bargara. “The Endeavour Foundation supports disabled people right through to adulthood - not just through fundraising but they have workshops, they have education programs and housing, even into aged Heather Christie care,” said Heather. “It’s close to my heart because I had a brother, Robert, who was intellectually disabled. He was about five-years-old when he contracted measles and went into a coma. He came out the other side with intellectual disability. “He passed away in 2001 aged 45. He was a lovely soul, but I believe he’s with me all the time and I think he’s the one who pointed me in the direction of the Great Endeavour Rally to raise funds for intellectually disabled adults.” Heather and her navigator, Charlie, will tackle the event in her purple 1966 HR Holden which she used to compete in the Variety Bash last year. “I learnt doing the Variety Bash that on an organised event like this you’re not alone, you have backup. If you’re stuck on the side of the road people will stop and help you, there’s mateship there and you return the favour. I’ve learnt there still are genuine good hearted people out there,” she said. “It’s an all round challenge, physically, mentally, it’s a challenge for your car, it’s a challenge for your skills, it’s a challenge to raise the funds - and I enjoy a challenge,” she said. Heather already has support from Noosa Car and Trucks, Andrew’s High Tech Automotive in Maroochydore and Adam’s Automatic Transmission Services at Caloundra. “I pay for parts but they provide labour at minimal charges to me. In return I put their business logo on the car. I’ve also had sponsorship from SportZprint at Mildura, a pledge from Perry’s Party Hire at Kawana, coffee vouchers from Gloria Jeans and a donation from Maroochy Sand and Gravel. The car is treated as mobile billboard, so if you want to advertise for a donation, get in touch. “I’m hoping to get $100.00 from 100 businesses or individuals, but any amount, large or small, would be gratefully accepted. “The Endeavour Foundation is a very worthy cause because an intellectual disability can happen to anyone at any time. Intellectual disability doesn’t finish when you become an adult, it continues on the rest of your life so you need support the rest of your life, and the Endeavour Foundation provides that

support,” she said. If you would like to make a donation call Heather on 0403 625 006.

Readers may recall we featured Heather on her last fundraising quest, as part of the Variety Bash last year. Well done to Heather for embarking on yet another challenge, to raise much needed funds for a very worthy cause.

$5,000 cash winner at Landsborough Pub Friday, May 28, the place to be was the Landsborough Pub. With the much anticipated $5,000 cash draw taking place, it was standing room only. For the previous month, publican Terry Morrow and his fantastic staff had been giving patrons the opportunity to enter this fantastic prize by only purchasing a drink or having a win on the pokies. With the lead up being a weekly draw of $500, all were excited to see who would be the lucky one. It was a popular win with local Garrie (Gibbo) taking out the $5,000 cash first prize and Ronnie (Panasonic) taking home the $1,000 Retravision voucher. The winner then put on an open bar for a time and it was celebrations all round! A big thank you to the manager, Pete, and all the girls for keeping the drinks flowing and the locals happy. The Landsborough Hotel is located in Cribb Street and is a family friendly establishment with great meals and service. Check it out!

Doing business

If wishes were horses

Turning residences into homes Bundesen Family Builders is exactly what the name suggests – a family business. Owner Phill Bundesen is proud to work alongside his son, Tim, in a business that Phill started in 1982 which services all areas of the Sunshine Coast and hinterland. Being a locally based business Phill knows the area well and understands why families choose to live in an area renowned for its gorgeous views and quiet surrounds, and he helps people to create not just a residence but a place they are happy to call home. Bundesen Family Builders offer quality building services including new homes, extensions, renovations and home improvements. Phill realises that for some, building a new home may be more difficult to achieve in these current challenging financial times and suggests that upgrading existing homes is an option worth considering. “Valuations are being downgraded so finance is difficult, a lot of people who want to climb the property ladder are held back, now may the time to think about improving the value of existing property by extensions, renovations or quality home improvements. We are available for all these, as well as, of course, new homes.” They also offer extra services. “We can offer cost effective drafting services, assistance with engineering and soil testing with a quality company, assistance with arranging finance and assistance with approval and certification. We also offer sensible costing and quality work right up to handover.”

“If wishes were horses then we could have one in our back yard.” How many parents have heard this before? My most distinct memories as a five-year-old are going to the riding stables to learn to ride, wanting to jump like the older riders could and learning which way was left because that was the way we went out for a ride in the big paddock where the jumps were. Years later I started working as a riding instructor and eventually was able to start my own riding school here in Beerwah in 1996. Learning to ride is exciting, rewarding and most of all, it’s lots of fun. Horses are wonderful animals and my riders learn how to treat these creatures with kindness, patience and common sense. For me there is the continual pleasure of watching my students develop concentration, confidence and persistence as they learn to ride. The enjoyment and sense of achievement gained from learning to ride lasts a lifetime. I am pleased to say that many of my students have become great riders yet the most satisfaction comes from the knowledge that many horse’s lives have been improved because of what I have been able to teach my riders. The horse in this photo was to be destroyed as useless. Try to convince him of that!

Everyone brought along something for morning tea and then sat back to watch a dvd on the Journey of View Clubs in Australia which was presented by primary school children from Scotts Head Primary School in NSW. This was followed by Mama Mia which was enjoyed with enthusiasm by the girls. Soup and homemade bread followed together with desserts; everyone had a great time. Our next lunch meeting takes place on June 16 when we will be celebrating our birthday – there will be lots of fun and raffles. Anyone who would like to join us would be most welcome.

JUNE 9 2010

Sunshine Coast nature lovers now have the chance to get snap-happy for council’s Backyard Biodiversity photo competition. The photo competition searches for pictures that demonstrate backyard biodiversity by featuring a locally native plant or animal in a Sunshine Coast yard. Environment Portfolio holder councillor Keryn Jones said that council is zooming in on biodiversity on 2010, the United Nations International Year of Biodiversity. “It’s great to launch a competition that will help people to learn about the variety of life in their own backyard, right on their door step,� Cr Jones said. “Biodiversity means the plants, animals, micro-organisms, the genes they contain and the ecosystems of which they are part of. “We’re seeking images in two categories—locally native plants and locally native animals. “Both categories are split up into adult and junior (12 and under). “The photos could be of species ranging from scribbly gums to staghorns, gliders to goshawks, and everything in between. “I’m looking forward to seeing the images in both categories and wish all entrants good luck!� The competition is now open and runs throughout GreenJune, closing at 5.00pm June 30. Photographers can enter up to three images and need to complete an entry form for each entry and obtain consent forms from anyone identifiable in their picture. Entry is free. Prizes will be to the value of $250.00 for winners and $150.00 for runners-up in the adult categories, and $100.00 and $50.00 for junior categories. Visit the events calendar at www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au for entry forms and details.

The group began in 2000. It was the brainchild of Barbara Leach and Tina Homer (both of Peachester) and has evolved into a vibrant musical ensemble, nurturing strong friendships among the members. All proceeds of the gold coin entrance fee were forwarded to the Cancer Foundation in support of the annual appeal. After one and a half hours of delightful entertainment, afternoon tea was served. Should you wish to utilise the talents of this group, or would like to join with them, please phone Barbara 5494 9761 to make arrangements.

Mooloolah Cemetery

With reference to the closure of the Mooloolah Cemetery (as far as a complete Cemetery) the reason given, has been misleading and has caused too many people upset who have friends and relatives buried there. The Mooloolah Cemetery is an icon of the Sunshine Coast. Many pioneers who helped to develop the Sunshine Coast are buried there. Of concern is the statement that the area surrounding the cemetery is classified as an essential habitat area, therefore approval cannot be gained to clear the land, which in essence prevents them from creating more grave sites. Rather odd, as the Government allocated 4.5 ht along with crown land leased to the

FREE 20km TRAVEL

Landsborough Council, to provide a cemetery. It has now been revealed that a Columbarium wall will be built in the above area where the 1,800 grave sites were to be developed. When the amalgamation was announced in May last year, the following statement was made, and I quote ‘and any reserve plots to be given to the Council, and future burials would be at the Kalangoor Cemetery’ (hopefully this decision has been corrected) which has a capacity for 95 years. The distance from Kalangoor to Beerburum is only 25 minutes – amazing when it takes me half an hour to travel from Beerwah to Nambour. Comparing Mooloolah and Kalangoor is bizzare as both cemeteries are needed to service both areas in the future. Seldom are Council Workers seen at the Mooloolah Cemetery. Subsiding of grave sites is not attended to and the garden and car park doesn’t receive any attention. The Council CEO has revealed that in June 2010, a revision will be made of staff requirements, and admits that the field staff will be reviewed. Hopefully the Mooloolah Cemetery position will be looked at. With reference to the habitat area, it’s known that true habitats are developed by fauna and flora e.g. the platypus habitat in the Petrie Creek in Nambour. Mooloolah is a haven for scrub ticks and not suitable for a true habitat. Name Supplied Beerwah Editors Note: Last week we spoke to the manager of Cemetery Services, Rob Luscombe, who said there is no intention to close the Mooloolah Cemetery. Additional areas have been identified in the cemetery for the provision of additional burial sites, and negotiations with the Department of

Forest Sale Scandal

Our treasurer is crowing about the $603 million dollar sale of Forestry Plantations Queensland saying that the government was only expecting around half a billion. However the buyer is laughing all the way to the bank - a foreign bank. We should not forget the small print where the sale included 33,000 hectares of freehold land. If for arguments sake we generously say that 10 per cent of the sale price was for the land, then the buyer picked up this land for about $2,000 per hectare. Ask yourself, how much did I pay per hectare for my block? Some of this land is prime real estate, for example, around Swain Lookout west of Beerwah. The treasurer says that the owner will have the same rights as any other holder of freehold title. Rubbish. With that much land you can influence government decisions. Just wait for the next Regional Plan. Pine plantations have a history of ending up as housing developments, just look at North Lakes and the new great urban sprawl of Caloundra South. Bill Thompson Glass House Mountains

Subject to what?

Last year we were thinking of going for a holiday and we were looking at going to Canada. But with the exchange rate so high we decided to do the other thing we wanted to do, and that was see the Top End through to Western Australia. I had seen the horizontal waterfalls and the Buccaneer Islands on TV and really wanted to see them. So I searched for a tour that incorporated all of them and found one that had a road tour from Darwin to Broome and then a cruise from Broome back to Darwin. We booked this tour with an Australian owned and international registered tour company and received our itinerary with all the things we said we wanted to do and bought all the things they told us we would need. On arriving at Darwin we were put on a coach, we were told we would be on a 4x4 tour that was why we needed to buy all the extra things that we didn't need on a coach. But the biggest surprise was when we got onto the ship we were told to tear up our itinerary as the tides wouldn't let us do the items on it. The brochure said ‘subject to tides’, but being an Australian touring company we didn't think to check what that meant exactly. What it meant was that there are only two high tides a month and tide books are printed for a whole year so they know what the tides are at all times. They book three cruises, which means that the third one goes at low tide so you do not get to do all the things that you booked the cruise for in the first place. So we spent 11 of the most boring days sitting on a ship looking at low water marks, and not much of anything else, no entertainment and nothing to do for hours and hours. It was very expensive, so my advice is if a tour says ‘subject to anything’ double check that it is the right time to see what you are booking for. Sandra Hanson Beerwah

You said it Letters continued from page 20 Honest answers

I would like to address my letter to Messrs Rudd, Gillard, Abbott, Bligh, Langbrook or any other person that has the intestinal fortitude to answer truthfully and without the usual political BS and spin. The questions are as follows. Why is the Australian taxpayer footing the bill to accommodate the alleged ‘asylum seekers’ in motels in Brisbane? If these people are asylum seekers as claimed, then the first country that was free of the oppression that they are escaping should be their port of call. Not Australia, located on the other side of the world. Or is it that the Australian Government is known around the world for its weak kneed approach? Why can there not be a tax or levy imposed on new residents to Queensland when they purchase a house, to cover the costs of the increasing population, instead of the impost being levied on everyone who is already living here? Are the Captain and First Mate from the coal carrier that ran aground on the Barrier Reef going to be a repeat of the Jayant Patel fiasco? This is where they skip the country before being charged by police after having their passports handed back? Looks like it’s shaping up that way. While we are at it, let's tow the ship out to sea and sink it. (Oh that's right I answered that in the first question ‘weak kneed Government’ that is so indebted to China, it’s scared to do or say anything that the Chinese might get upset with). Western countries only have themselves to blame, they moved their manufacturing and industries to China for the cheap labour and now Communist China has all the power. To the Premier that governs for Brisbane only. Now that you have sneakily sold the forests why can't you use some of that money to pay our dedicated hospital staff correctly? I'll bet if the greedy politicians missed out on one of their

pays it would be fixed immediately. I eagerly await with baited breath a response from one of those listed above. But I will not get too excited waiting. Thank you. Richard Thompson, Glasshouse Mountains

Is our ‘uniquesness’ fading?

Many thanks to the LACA Inc secretary (May 19 edition) who pointed out the way developers are finding ways to slowly change our lovely small town of Landsborough, driving away wildlife etc. It will look the same as any suburb eventually, and lose its heritage status. But, it really started 18 years ago with a small light industrial area too near residential land. In this area, instead of the new industrial area at the entrance to town, council allowed a biodiesel fuel plant to start operation some weeks ago, in Tytherleigh Avenue. It is not noisy, not ‘over smelly’ but fumes of some sort are causing bad headaches, and nausea to workers and some residents in area. I am all for ‘saving the planet’ recycling, for my great grandkids future, so I am asking the ‘powers’ of the SC Council to help move this business to a safer place, away from workers and homes, but not stop the work of these ‘greener’ alternatives. A petition against this business in Tytherleigh Avenue is at Glen Savages landscape office, phone 5494 1153. Liz Landsborough

Glass House Mountains - Australian National Landscape or Brisbane's closest trail bike and 4WD park

I love living in the Glasshouse Mountains and feel fortunate to live here, but I am amazed at how little people seem to care about the damage being done to the area by rubbish dumpers, 4WD's and trail bikes.

plantations you can see huge bog holes and skid pans which are being created by 4WD's. You see these 4WD's at petrol stations and parked in the streets covered in so much mud you cannot even see what color they used to be. Come the weekend, dry or wet, hundreds of trail bikes come up from Brisbane and drive round the area, opening up tracks in the bush and even using National Park walking tracks as a venue for their riding activity yet no one seems to think it's inappropriate, or wrong, or tries to do anything to stop the misuse of our natural environment. When are we really going to start valuing the area in which we live, work and play? It’s not just a few people doing the wrong thing, it’s a lot of people taking where we live for granted and treating it like one big mud pit. Mark Glass House Mountains

Beerwah Charity Sports held up because Council can’t finish entrance road

Shame on our local regional councillor Anna Grosskreutz. She informed all and sundry at the pre-election meeting in Glasshouse Mountains Community Hall that the ink was not dry on the paperwork where she had left the Council meeting pertaining to the $1 million grant to Beerwah Sports Oval, so that she could then attend a photo shoot in Brisbane, which was apparently much more important that the granting of $1 million to Beerwah Sports Oval. Beerwah Charity Sports Day is very much in doubt this year. Why you might ask? It’s all to do with the entrance to the Sports ground not being safe. Council it would appear are not interested in completing the mess and because the $1 million never eventuated as the local councillor suggested, the sports oval cannot afford to complete the mess either, therefore the Beerwah community won’t be working for the Queensland Cancer Council and the fact that over the past few years $25,000 has been donated each year will be sadly missed. The most worrying thing is, sponsors, workers, volunteers and the community at large also miss out. Brian Stallworthy Glass House Mountains

Solar seminar well attended The recent Solar Power information evening at The Maleny Neighbourhood Centre was really well attended with many people asking questions and getting informed. Eko Energy representative Garry Willet gave a comprehensive presentation on grid-connect solar power and energy conservation in the home. By reducing power use and installing grid-connect solar, eliminating electricity bills is now more achievable. Many people are progressing with getting site inspections and quotes as part of a communitybased bulk-buying initiative that offers affordable, quality installations.

Not your traditional repair shop – Beerwah Auto Centre

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 so common is to see a father-daughter

combination on the workshop floor. But that is just what you will find at Beerwah Auto Centre. Wayne Povey and his daughter Belle have proven themselves a formidable team when it comes to everything automotive. Subaru specialists, they not only offer mechanical repairs, log book servicing, parts and repairs on all makes and models, they are also where you will 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." Belle said many customers appreciate the balance of gender in what is traditionally a male dominated environment. “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.� 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 or 5439 0455.

A private telephone service was approved for Bankfoot House in 1928, by the Commonwealth Postmaster General’s Department (PMG). The allocated number was ‘Glasshouse 7’ and the first year’s rental fee was £3/18/6d. The new service was not without conditions. The PMG were prepared to erect a line for a length of two miles five chains from the Glasshouse Mountains Exchange. The remainder of the line had to be privately erected and maintained by the applicant – William S Burgess. The hours of attendance at the Glasshouse Mountains Exchange were 9.00am to 6.00pm.

Entries are now open for the 2010 Premier's Multicultural Photographic awards - the chance to share in $13,800 in prize money through work which highlights Queensland's cultural diversity. Premier Anna Bligh said the awards were open to both amateur and professional photographers, young and old. "Queenslanders will get to vote for their favourite photo in the People's Choice Award from the online gallery of short-listed entries on the awards' website after the competition closes." Multicultural Affairs Minister, Annastacia Palaszczuk, said the awards were open to both amateur and professional photographers, as well as school students. Prizes will be awarded in four categories - open, young photographer (five - 12 years), young photographer (13 - 18 years) and creative application. "I'm sure this year's theme 'A Multicultural Future for all of us' will inspire Queenslanders to be creative and capture images showing the many positive benefits of multiculturalism," Ms Palaszczuk said. You can enter the awards online for free and submit photos to the awards website - all you need is a digital camera and access to the internet. The Premier's Multicultural Photographic Awards are open until July 23. For more information visit www.multicultural.qld.gov.au

GLASSHOUSE COMMUNITY CHURCH Pastor Brendan Edwards

Moved to Glasshouse Country RSL Sub Branch Building

Submitted by Pastor Rod Jobe Church on the Rise With the FIFA World Soccer Cup about to begin in South Africa there have been a number of news stories about the problems of crime and hunger in their country. Last year I read of the death of Norman Borlaug (March 25, 1914 – September 12, 2009) who was known as the father of the ‘green revolution’. During the mid-20th century, Borlaug led the introduction of these high-yielding varieties combined with modern agricultural production techniques to Mexico, Pakistan, and India. As a result, Mexico became a net exporter of wheat by 1963. Between 1965 and 1970, wheat yields nearly doubled in Pakistan and India, greatly improving the food security in those nations. He and others later took those varieties and similarly improved strains of rice and corn to Asia, the Middle East, South America and Africa. Borlaug stated in a lecture, “the first essential component of social justice is adequate food for all mankind. Food is the moral right of all who are born into this world. Yet today 50 per cent of the world’s population goes hungry. Without food, man can live at most but a few weeks; without it, all other components of social justice are meaningless. Therefore I feel that the aforementioned guiding principle must be modified to read: If you desire peace, cultivate justice, but at the same time cultivate the fields

Glasshouse Community Hall Phone: 5496 9556 to produce more bread; otherwise there will be no peace.” At the end of the lecture, he spells out these connections more clearly: The recognition that hunger and social strife are linked is not new, for it is evidenced by the Old Testament passage, “…and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their King and their God. …” “He has probably done more and is known by fewer people than anybody that has done that much,” said Dr Ed Runge, retired head of Texas A&M University’s Department of Soil and Crop Sciences and a close friend who persuaded Borlaug teach at the school. “He made the world a better place — a much better place.” “More than any other single person of his age, he has helped to provide bread for a hungry world,” Nobel Peace Prize committee chairman Aase Lionaes said in presenting the award to Borlaug. “We have made this choice in the hope that providing bread will also give the world peace.” Borlaug made the world a better place. May we also be inspired to help people to have at least the basics, of food and clean water.

Making a stand Gary Norris is always ready for a challenge. Having trained as a chef he had a passport to the world, experiencing different cultures, different ingredients and wonderful fresh locally grown produce. But with the long hours, the exhaustive work and poor pay he decided to change career. “Off came the Chef whites, on came the suit and tie and I pounded the streets selling fresh fish, fresh produce, cans of just about everything until I was made redundant the week before Christmas. Not one to accept defeat I borrowed $10,000 on the credit card and the following day, set up my own business” Gary siad. For the past seven years Gary has concentrated solely on fresh produce, either processing or wholesaling. His experience has led him to believe that change is needed and growers need to make a stand.

“One of the most common complaints we hear from growers is that they are poorly treated and poorly paid for what they produce. Sunshine Coast Produce was formed to offer growers an alternative, we do not need to sell fresh produce on consignment, we are smart enough to know what it is worth and pay growers accordingly. When we get it wrong we take the hit not the grower" Gary said. Gary is hoping change will happen when more growers are prepared to no longer be happy with the way things have been done in the past. “Growers need to be strong enough to stand up and say this is what I want for my produce and be prepared to think and do things differently. We are certainly looking forward to challenging the way Pineapples are bought and sold and so should the growers,” he said.

Meet Pete and community meetings

Will penny-pinching lead to end of a great tradition?

My next series of ‘Meet Pete in the Park’ barbeques and my community meetings are being held this week (June 11 and 12). My community meetings are on Friday, June 11 at 9.00am Pelican Waters Bowls Club; 11.00am Caloundra RSL Bowls Club; 1.00pm Landsborough School of Arts Memorial Hall, 3.00pm Mooloolah Valley Community Centre; and 5.00pm at my office, at the Cartwright Centre, Nicklin Way, Buddina. My ‘Meet Pete in the Park’ barbecues are on Saturday, June 12 at 9.00am Kings Beach; 11.00am Lake Kawana Entry Cove; 1.00pm Loo with a View barbeque area, Mooloolaba; and 3.00pm Boyle Park, Conondale. Please RSVP on 5444 4888 for catering purposes.

Govt Advertising

I am disappointed to see that Kevin Rudd and Labor are wasting millions of dollars in taxpayer funds for political advertising, while taxing Australia’s productive mining sector hard and destroying economic investment. It has now been revealed, Labor had decided back in April to spend $38 million on the advertising campaign even though it claimed to have needed to spend the money only after the mining industry campaign recently. The Liberal National team in government will take real action to fix the concerns of Australians, a stark contrast to Labor’s inconsistencies, backflips and economic blunders.

Pyjama drive

The Pyjama Foundation’s annual pyjama drive has started officially and donated pyjamas have started to come into my office, which I have opened up as a drop-off point for the campaign. This is a relatively simple and inexpensive way that local residents can contribute to the care of children in foster care; I ask anyone who can get involved to drop off the new pyjamas to my office at the Cartwright Centre, Corner Point Cartwright Drive and Nicklin Way, Buddina, Monday to Friday between 9.00am – 5.00pm. The pyjama drive runs officially for six weeks, finishing in mid-July. For information, phone my office on 5444 4888.

Progress has been known to leave many casualties in its wake, but long-time Beerwah residents are shell-shocked that their established charity-raising tradition could be jettisoned for the want of a dollar. Like residents all over the coast, they are anxiously awaiting substantial rate rises, a hike in electricity prices and the first Unity Water bill. It’s not a rosy outlook but when the guts are ripped out of a proud community tradition through a penny-pinching administration it’s even harder to stomach. The reality is that the Beerwah Charity Sports Day, which has been running in one form or another for at least 40 years, looks like getting the chop. The organising committee needs a road upgrade to the venue and the Sunshine Coast Council has not come to the party. Last year a third party came to the fore and made temporary repairs so the event could go ahead but this year without the work it’s a no-go and pleas have fallen on deaf ears. The proceeds of this grand tradition have been supporting community projects and charities for years and as late as 2007 the Queensland Cancer Council honoured the committee with naming rights to one of their melanoma research projects. Beerwah Charity Sports Day Cancer Research Grant recognised the efforts of the Beerwah community and its annual sports day fund-raising activities. A program from the 1948 event perfectly captures the mood of the day and shows Beerwah was as proud of its community then as it is today. There were wood-chopping, foot races for married women, single women and even an ‘old buffers’ race for men over the age of 40. Maybe a 40-year-old was indeed an old buffer in those days but today they are spring chickens and that is partly because of breakthroughs in modern medicine and research funded by government and communities – just like Beerwah with its annual sports charity day. There are communities like Beerwah all over the state and they too enjoy the spirit and camaraderie that small townships have to offer. These are traditions which should be preserved while new ones are encouraged. It’s not easy for the Council to come to terms with amalgamation and associated costs but it must ensure community fragmentation does not occur, for that is too high a price to pay.

Hail a Council Cab

Upcoming Council Budget Council will hand down its budget on June 29 and I have been heartened in pre-budget talks to see so much support for our region. A number of exciting projects have been earmarked for commencement over the coming year in Division one and I will announce these after the budget has been fully endorsed by council.

Celebrate Beerwah Library’s birthday Beerwah Library turns 10 this month and we are inviting residents in for an afternoon tea celebration on Monday, June 28. Drop by between 2.30pm and 4.00pm for cake and afternoon tea. I am certainly looking forward to being there and I know a large group of volunteers are busy planning a nice celebration. It’s a great chance to celebrate the region’s wonderful library and the difference it has made to life in our community since opening a decade ago. It’s hard to believe 10 years have passed since many of us sat on the deck in our finest in very warm conditions. For those newer to the region, our district hall, complete with verandah roof, came later.

Horses at Mooloolah

It has been brought to my attention that owners are not cleaning up after their horses on pathways around Mooloolah. The local law states that ‘The keeper of an animal must immediately remove and dispose of all faeces in a sanitary manner if the animal defecates in a public place’. I ask that residents respect this rule to help make the region an enjoyable place for all.

Regional Museum Awards 2010

Help Landsborough Museum be recognised as one of the regions’ finest museums by voting for it in the Regional Museum Awards 2010. Landsborough Museum is one of the largest social history museums between Gympie and Brisbane. I congratulate the volunteers who continue to work tirelessly to make the museum the success it is today. Cast your vote for the Regional Museum Awards online at www.abc.net.au/rn/ museums/

Festival of the Walks

Council has contributed $5,000 to have Montville street banners made to promote the Festival of the Walks, running from August 21 – 29. The festival will consist of a series of guided walks throughout Montville, Maleny, Mapleton and Flaxton, Conondale and Kenilworth, and the Glasshouse Mountains. There will also be community and cultural events celebrating the natural beauty of the Hinterland and showcasing local attractions. To find out more visit www.festivalofthewalks.com.au

www.glasshousemountainsridingschool.com.au

Other upgrades planned for the park include softfall surfacing beneath existing playground equipment, a new picnic table and bins. These improvements were requested by residents and families regularly using the park when council conducted community consultation recently. Other works requested by residents include planting more shade trees in addition to the fig trees already on the site.

If you’re aged over 60, have a disability, or are a carer of someone with a disability, then Council Cabs is the service for you. One day per week, Council Cabs will collect you from your home mid-morning; drive you to your local shopping centre, and return you home at lunch time, for a fixed fare of $2.00 each way. The Council Cabs service operates in 19 designated areas across the region. For more information and to book, call 1300 139 433 today. It is important to remember this service is a trial, so please take advantage of it and ‘use it or lose it’.

HOLIDAY PROGRAMME

Council has started work on the priority items identified in the master plan for the upgrade of Chantilly Park in Beerwah. Over the next week, new playground equipment will be installed and a concrete pathway will follow when there is enough fine weather for the ground to be able to carry concrete trucks.

Living with MS

Following on from MS Awareness Week last week (May 26 – June 6), we were fortunate enough to hear from one reader who has shared with us some insight into this debilitating disease. A special thanks to Sharon, a resident of Glass House Mountains, for helping dispel some of the mysteries surrounding MS with her honest account. "Multiple Sclerosis is an auto-immune disease that affects the central nervous system. It is unknown what causes MS and so far there is no cure, although research continues.

A personal account by Sharon Chamberlain wire, with the myelin sheath that protects the nerves being the plastic that surrounds the wire. The body’s immune system attacks the myelin, exposing the nerves. So you may think you’re moving your toe, for example, but it doesn’t actually happen. The most common form of MS is relapsing remitting MS where the sufferer will experience new symptoms and then pretty much go back to the way they were, although there are common symptoms that most MSers have to live with. I have a particularly aggressive form of primary progressive MS where there is no remission and the list of problems appears to be ever-increasing. I can only hope those scientists work real hard and find me a cure. I was diagnosed with MS on March 24, 2007. I thought I had sprained my ankle picking strawberries and instead of going to my doctor who was a complete idiot, I went to a physio who noticed my Babinski response (toe bending upwards instead of curling), my foot dragging and muscle wastage in my right calf. She referred me to said idiot doctor, who sent me for a CAT scan and referred me to a neurologist who sent me for MRIs, a VER (visual eye response) ... And then the bugger told me I have MS. He was an old Indian bloke and when we asked how it was going to progress from there, he said it was all in the lap of the Gods. I’m not quite sure whether I should have been praying to Allah, but it appears I’ve been looking under the wrong rock. Generally lesions in the brain affect cognitive ability and those in the spine affect the limbs. I have big ones in the spine but still have my marbles apparently. My early symptoms were a loss of balance resulting in falls and an increased loss of leg strength. I bought a walking stick which I threw on the sofa until the Regional Services Coordinator from the MS Society said I should use it. I said fine, I’ll paint it funky purple, which I did, with flowers and smiley faces. On Boxing Day 2008 I fell and broke my wrist. I broke the same wrist another time but can’t remember when and in February 2009 I fell and broke my foot. I’ve never broken a bone until I got this stupid pointless disease. I moved from my funky walking stick to my 1st walker which I named Rover, 2nd one was called Fido and now I’m in a wheelchair called Oscar because I’m grouchy about being in it. On my husband’s birthday last November I fell off my walker, knocked myself out for a couple of minutes and was carted off to the Nambour Hilton (hospital) in an ambo. And before you ask, no I wasn’t drunk. I wouldn’t have hurt myself if I was. During my extensive stay in emergency I had a bed next to real freak of nature who told everyone who passed that Jesus saves and God in the highest. Now I have nothing against God or religion but at 3.00am I said “no he doesn’t”, which of course set me up for a lecture but she wasn’t going to let me sleep anyway. My latest was a whole pile of new symptoms that I never got onto soon enough. After fluffing around since the beginning of April, it finally occurred to me that I should probably be back in the Nambour Hilton back on the steroids again. It’s only my 2nd time so the fact that I didn’t realise sooner doesn’t make me a total retard (debatable I know). What I thought was going to be a three day stay, turned into 11 days so I was so happy to be home. It turned the hospital visit out to be not the worst thing in the world. The old bloke in the bed opposite had an endless supply of jokes. We called him naughty Noel. And the lady in the next bed, also about 70, I really connected with. We really talked and talked and were a great support to each other. The psychologist who has been seeing me since hospital thinks I’m doing well. I guess it’s like you don’t get a certificate to say you’re sane until you’ve been in a nuthouse. So you see, I’m desperately hoping that a new treatment will become available before I get any worse. It’s all very frightening. I was only diagnosed three years ago and despite doing all the right things - Betaferon for the first two years, eating a scarily healthy diet, lots of exercise, vitamin D ... I’ve gone from superwoman to this in such a short time. I’m just so hoping for a treatment that will help before I get any worse."

Talkin Trades

A to Z of trades and services Five minutes with Jay Stuurop from Astro Electric and Air What type of services do you offer?

Why should readers choose you?

As well as the usual range of electrical services and the installation of air conditioners, I am now fully licensed and accredited to design and install solar power systems.

With the rising cost of electricity, there is a real need for people to learn how to save money on their power bills. It is rumoured that an average power bill for 12 months will be over $2,500 by the end of next year. Most people don’t realise that it doesn’t cost any more to install a solar power system now than it did when the grant was available, with the grant being replaced by the solar credit scheme. A 1.5kw system will cost you around $3,000 and save hundreds off your power bill, while a 3kw system can usually negate an average bill. An even bigger system, from between 3 - 5 kw may even make you money!

How long have you been operating your business? 29 years

What sets your business apart from others that may offer similar services?

I’ve recently completed my accreditation and am fully licensed to design and install solar power systems. As part of the service I offer my customers, I complete an electrical efficiency report for them which outlines their current energy patterns, and help them select the best solar system to suit their needs and then design it in a way to suit their roof and position on their block.

Cash rate relief for now, but a damp outlook? Much to the relief of existing and potential property owners budgeting for variable mortgage repayments, this month the Reserve Bank of Australia decided to leave the official interest rate at 4.5 per cent. However, this in no way guarantees the stability of mortgage and other interest rates. It is the first month since February this year in which we have experienced a ‘hold’ decision, indicating the RBA feels a wait and see approach is more appropriate now the cash rate has reached a more neutral setting. While allowing Australians a breather, the Bank will carefully monitor economic factors such as the lag effect of prior interest rate rises, consumer sentiment and spending, the intentions and actions of our strong resources sector and the performance of other major advanced economies. Mortgage holders should be monitoring their lender. Local Mortgage Choice franchise owner Robert Harney said there is much talk around a break from official interest rate rises of at least two months and economists seem divided as to whether it will rise at all again in 2010. “No one has a grasp on when the cash rate will move again; some are saying it could be as early as next month while others envision a steady rate until the end of the year,� he said. “Really, that is of little consequence because these days the cash rate has less of an influence on mortgage rates. The focus should be whether lending institutions move rates outside the RBA cycle, as they have indicated is a possibility due to the continued volatility in their cost of the funds. “Borrowers of all types are most probably happy with the June cash rate decision, which is terrific, but our advice is to watch your lender to check your debt repayments are not increased regardless. “In addition to that, carefully monitor any spending you are doing outside paying off debt. Make the most of your extra money now to prepare for what may be a number of rate rises. If rates don’t increase, you will be creating a solid financial buffer. If they do increase, you will be prepared. “Either way, continue to check the market, perhaps through the use of a reputable mortgage broker, to make sure there is not a better and/or cheaper home loan out there waiting for you.�

It’s time to prepare your home for winter EnergyAustralia is encouraging households to start preparing their homes before winter arrives to make sure the warm air stays inside where it’s needed. EnergyAustralia’s energy efficiency expert Paul Myors said before you switch your heater on, make sure your home is thermally efficient. “Taking simple steps to stop draughts and cover windows is the best place to start,� Mr Myors said. “Covering windows helps prevent heat escaping from your home, so it’s best to close curtains and blinds. If you are building or renovating, consider double glazed windows as they also minimise heat loss. “Draughts and unwanted air leakages can suck away the warmth, increasing home heating costs by up to 25 per cent. Try using a door snake to stop under door draughts and sealing products around doors and windows.� Ceiling insulation will also make your home more comfortable and can reduce your heating costs by up to 30 per cent. “Wall insulation is very effective and recommended in new homes, and underfloor insulation is also an option. Another simple option is to lay rugs on bare floors as this alone will help to reduce heat loss,� Mr Myors said. “Before you pull the heater out, make sure the vents are free from dust, check cords aren’t frayed and clean air-conditioner filters. “If you’re looking to buy a heater, choose the right

option for your needs. Gas heaters give more heat at lower running costs and air-conditioners are more efficient than other electric heaters. “It’s also important not to overheat your home. Keep room temperature between 18 and 21 degrees, as every degree above 21 degrees adds about 10 per cent extra to your heating costs. “One of the easiest and affordable ways to keep warm is to pull on a jumper, a pair of thick socks and slippers or throw on a blanket.� For more winter heating tips check out EnergyAustralia’s winter heating guide at www. energy.com.au Energy efficiency tips to prepare for winter 1. Ceiling insulation can save up to 30 per cent off your heating costs. 2. Put a door snake or a rolled up towel at the bottom of outside doorways to keep out cold air. 3. Use seals around doors and window gaps to minimise heat loss. 4. Check fireplaces, air vents and skirting boards for gaps. 5. Open curtains on north facing windows if the sun is shining, and close all curtains or blinds at night. 6. Keep room temperature to between 18 and 21 degrees. 7.

Down & dirty with Brownie brownie@gcnews.com.au Winter Blues Just like us, plants can get the winter blues and suffer in the cooler conditions. As the air temperature cools down, so does the soil temperature. This results in the soil microbes slowing down, not breaking down organic matter and making nutrients harder for the plant roots to absorb. So you will often see plants suffering some nutrient deficiencies during this time of the year. Citrus is a classic example, with their leaves turning yellow. Deciduous trees respond by taking the nutrients back from their leaves down into their roots. The leaves change colour and fall, giving us a spectacular display. Non-deciduous plants just suffer in silence, getting the winter blues. To perk them up, it’s a good idea to lay down a blanket of mulch around their roots to protect the soil from the cool night air. Also treat them to a drench of seaweed tonic (for the soil microbes) and a soluble fertiliser solution, something like Thrive – unless it’s a phosphorus-sensitive native plant, in which case you’ll use a native specific fertiliser. Don’t forget that water soluble fertilisers leach out of the soil with rain, so don’t use it until there are about four or five days of sunny weather predicted.

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone for their support & excitement on the safe (if very early) arrival of our beautiful twins, James & Abigail, born 6 weeks early 26 March weighing 1830g & 2250g. Firstly we would like to thank Lea & Brownie, & whole team at GC News – there are lots of clucky aunties (and an uncle!) in the office who have been very supportive throughout the pregnancy & their early arrival. We have been overwhelmed by the offers of help from all our friends, from gifts and cards, cooked meals & treats, to lifts to the hospital, dog sitting/walking and even the time & energy given to clean up our (very overgrown) veggie patch ready for winter growing. Everyone has been very generous & we thank you all for your help and thoughts. We would also like to thank the fantastic team at Caboolture Hospital – all the nurses & midwifes on maternity, the theatre team who took great care of the 3 of us, and the wonderful ladies in the Special Care Nursery who looked after James & Abigail for the first 2 ½ weeks until they were able to come home with us. We are happy to say their weights are now 3650g (James) & 4000g (Abigail), and they are both doing really well. Thanks again to everyone for their support.

It’s a long ride to Texas We last spoke to Beerwah State High School student, Stacey Bentley from Landsborough, last October after she was selected to be part of the Australian Team to compete at the Youth World Games Paint Horse Championships. The last seven months have flown and she is now making the final preparations to fly to Fort Worth, Texas in America on June 16. “I’m very excited, a little bit scared, there’s a lot of stuff to be done beforehand with school and assignments. Really I just can’t wait, it’s such a great trip and experience,” Stacey said. A major challenge at the championships is the fact that each competitor is given a horse they are not familiar with. “I’m a little bit nervous about whether I’m going to draw out a good horse. Will 40 minutes be long enough for me to get used to the horse? Will I do any good in my class? “To prepare I’ve been keeping myself fit and I keep working on my horse at home, to make sure I haven’t lost any touch or dropped off any skills. And every opportunity I’ve had I’ve been riding different horses because that will be a similar situation to America,” she said. Fundraising has been big part of the preparations over the last seven months.

Contributed by Ray Gardiner “We reached our target of $6,000 by having a multidraw raffle, a garage sale where people donated goods, a barbeque night at Peachester Hall and a local horse club had an auction of horse Stacey with Charlie aka Kunda gear. It’s nice to the Right Copy know that people are willing to support and help you out. I’d really like to thank everyone who’s helped out or bought a ticket or donated money.” There are lots of things Stacey is looking forward to in Texas. “I’m looking forward to meeting everyone at the airport and that’s when it will sink in the most that it’s finally happening after all this effort and hard work. And then the main thing is finding out what horse I will get, and having that first ride. I hope to do our country proud,” she said. Stacey is still continuing her fundraising efforts, if you would like to make a donation ring 5494 1071.

Beerwah Bulldogs - June 6 Report Contributed by Dean Roberts

Beerwah Bulldogs hosted the Noosa Pirates at the Showgrounds on Sunday afternoon looking to build on their good performance the week before against Caboolture. The Under 18’s started slowly against an improving Noosa team but clicked into gear to play some entertaining footy to record their 2nd win in a row and move into outright 4th on the competition ladder. Reserve Grade who were down on troops showed their customary grit to hold Noosa to 12 -12 at half time only to get worn down in the second half to go down 36-22. The Domino’s Pizza Players Player awards went to Ricky Shaxon and Jordan Sutton (U18). The Bulldogs play again at Caloundra after the long weekend against the Sharks and will be a good test against a club that is travelling well in all grades. Reserve Grade Noosa Pirates – 36 – (Jake Warren 1, Morris Wilson 1, Angus Stewart 2, Jarvis Sheppard 1, Sol Loketi 1 - Tries) (Sane Patrick 6 - Goals) def Beerwah Bulldogs – 22 - (Arthur Soanes 1, Damien Townsend 1, Graham Green 1, Wayne Morrisby 1 -

Tries) (Damien Townsend 3 - Goals) Under 18 Beerwah Bulldogs – 36 – (Ryan Lucas 2, Connor Ferguson 1, Justin Pitman 1, Joshua Danzey 1, Daniel Kidd 1, Daniel Bott 1 - Tries) (Cody Bell 4 - Goals) def Noosa Pirates – 18 - (Taylor Ryan 1, Moses Mbye 1, Curtly Hope-Hodgetts 1, Rhys Crawley 1 - Tries) (Sam Wright 1 - Goals) Junior Results Under 11 Bulldogs v Caloundra – Lost 14 - 6 Under 14 Bulldogs v Gympie – Won Under 15 Bulldogs v Nambour – Won 24 - 16 Under 16 Bulldogs v Coolum – Won 60 - 6
