Hi everyone Last week the GCNews team did a great job putting the paper together without any input from me, as I was away for a few days in New Zealand. I am always saying what a great team of staff we have at GCNews but it is good to be proved correct. As we were preparing everyone kept saying don’t worry about us at all – enjoy your holiday don’t give us a second thought. I have to say once we arrived in Christchurch and became consumed with tourist activities the GCNews was the last thing on my mind! Basically because there is just way too much scenery in New Zealand to look at and it pretty much took up all my brain capacity. We went to some amazing places and the real highlight was travelling on the Trans Alpine railway from Greymouth to Christchurch after a night of heavy snow. I took about 100 photos of snow capped mountain peaks – which I

Thursday Garden Party at Rita and John Cruickshank, 154 Kings Road, was most impressed with. Fortunately for readers I have since shown them to my sister and she politely indicated that viewing them all, may not be so interesting for those not there on the occasion – so I have just included the one of me with Mt Cook in the background. However I definitely know how difficult it is for the readers who have entered our Travelling Tales competition to pick out a couple of their photos from their trips. And thanks to the team for taking over so we could relax and soak up the delights of New Zealand. Regards,

Council has unveiled the coast’s first dedicated cycling race track – known as a criterium track – right here in the heart of Glasshouse Country. The final landscaping touches are being put to the track at Skippy Park, in Landsborough, where council is constructing a major new recreational park for the region. The criterium track was fully funded by the Australian Government’s Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government as part of its National Bike Path funding program. The project has delivered the Sunshine Coast region its first cycling track capable of holding racing events and training days for cycle clubs, as well as a new exercise and dog walking area for local residents. The Sunshine Coast Cycling Club's Junior Development Officer Merv McDonald said his first impressions of the new track were very good. "At first glance, the Skippy Park track looks like a great facility,” he said. “Previously we've had to make do with vacant industrial estates for our 150 or so members. The industrial estates don't stay vacant for long, so now we have a dedicated facility which has toilets, showers, storage shed and car parking.

“The track itself looks like a fast and challenging circuit with a variety of corners and good straights. We expect some very good racing to take place at Skippy." Division One Councillor Anna Grosskreutz said she was thrilled with how this project was taking shape. "The Glasshouse Country area has the space to provide quality open space facilities for the whole Sunshine Coast community,” she said. “The construction phase of Skippy Park supports the local economy, and now that the facility is open, this track will provide a 750g Shortcyclists.

Continued campaign delivers speed limit success

The need to reduce the speed limit on the Steve Irwin Way either side of the Matilda Service Station at Glass House Mountains has been a major priority for many local Glass House residents. After continued campaigning on behalf of the community, Andrew Powell MP Member for Glass House, Andrew Powell MP, is pleased to announce the speed limit will be changed, finally! “I have had locals approach me at my mobile office and ringing the office demanding to know when this dangerous spot on the Steve Irwin Way would be investigated to ensure it was considered for a speed reduction. “I am so pleased to announce that at a recent meeting of the Sunshine Coast Council Speed Management Committee, the 80km/h speed limit has been extended to include Bowen Road,” Mr Powell said. “This is a long awaited and sensible outcome, one that will see fewer accidents at the Bowen Road intersection. “I know some will consider it only half a win as they want to see the speed reduced up to and including the caravan park. I will continue to discuss this option with Main Roads. “But for those that have campaigned alongside me, congratulations! People power has won again. Locals will see this change in speed limit occur over the next six weeks,” Mr Powell concluded.

Angus Richard, from HTSC said for the first time the hinterland is a destination in its own right. “Through help from Cr Anna Grosskreutz we got a grant to develop the map.

Feeling the Flu? If you are 55-80 years of age and are currently experiencing symptoms of the flu, including a temperature of 37.8°C or higher, you may be eligible to help evaluate an investigational medication. Influenza (the flu) is a virus that affects millions of people worldwide each year. And while there are flu treatments available, there’s growing concern that the flu virus may build resistance to today’s medications. In addition, current treatments are sometimes unable to treat new strains of the flu. As a result, more research into alternative flu treatments is still needed.

FLU RESEARCH STUDY Local doctors are currently conducting a medical research study evaluating an investigational flu treatment. To pre-qualify for this study, you must: • Be 55 to 80 years of age, • Be experiencing two or more symptoms of the flu, AND • Have a fever of 37.8°C or higher. Qualified participants will receive study-related medical evaluations and study medication at no cost. In addition, reimbursement for time and travel may also be provided.

The highs and lows of a good cause When Jess Mitchell, 16, from Beerwah, first heard about climbing Mt Kilimanjaro to help raise funds for the School of St Jude in Tanzania she wanted to go. Through sheer hard work and determination working two jobs the Year 11 Beerwah State High School student is about to realise her dream. Jess will be part of a group of over 45 people that will leave for Africa on November 27 and return on December 22. Now all she has to do is raise funds to donate to St Jude. The School of St Jude started in 2002, when Gemma Sisia, from northern NSW opened it with three students and one teacher. Her vision was to fight poverty through education. The school now has 1,300 students, three campuses (two primary and one secondary school) and one of the best academic records in Tanzania. St Jude’s offers free, high quality education to the poorest families in the area. Sponsors and donors from around the world cover the costs of the students’ tuition, books, uniforms, stationery, transport, excursions, meals and boarding. Jess said there’s a lot to look forward to about the trip. “Definitely Zanzibar, and I’d love to make the top of Kili, and I’d love to raise the most money. I’m looking forward to teaching the kids (from St Jude), that’ll be cool. And we’ll be doing an athletics carnival with some of the other schools over there. It’s great to get involved in the community,” Jess said. She’s also excited about the three day safari at the end. “I really want to see the animals over there,” she said. The Mt Kilimanjaro climb is expected to take six days. Jess will need to take altitude sickness

tablets, and she has asthma but isn’t expecting this to be a problem. “Apparently asthmatics breathe differently to a fit person. So we’re used to being short of breath,” she said. She currently does some bushwalking and hopes to fit some training in around her full schedule. The only thing she is worried about is the food. “They eat rice and beans or beans and rice, and I’m so fussy with what I eat. I don’t know how I’ll go,” she said. This will be the longest period of time she has been away from home before. After a previous five day trip away she did miss a special family member, her pet dog. “I missed Daisy really bad,” she said. Jess has launched her fundraising efforts with a chocolate drive with the help of her friends, but she is also looking for sponsorships or donations. She’s hoping to raise $1,000.

Award winning program supporting our kids Our local state school communities are embracing the benefits of an award-winning early intervention program which aims to better connect students and their parents with a range of resources to help overcome social and emotional barriers to learning. The Glasshouse Coalition of schools – which includes Beerwah State School, Beerburrum State School, Glasshouse Mountains State School, Peachester State School, Elimbah State School and Landsborough State School are only the second group of schools on the Sunshine Coast to have access to the Supporting Children in Primary Schools (SCIPS) program. The program is an initiative of Sunny Kids, a local children’s charity, and was recently awarded a $100,000 prize at the inaugural School’s First Awards. Beerwah State School Deputy Principal Michelle McCabe said the SCIPS program had been running in hinterland schools since term two. She said the program, which has been positively embraced by both students, parents, teachers

and other members of the school community, provides a dedicated resource at the schools to help students who might be impacted by family and other issues, such as financial distress, separation or divorce, and their family, to access resources. “This is a great initiative and we feel privileged to be able to roll the program out through our hinterland schools,” Michelle said. SCIPS project officer Becky Hyde, who works out of Beerwah State School between two and a half and three days a week, said research showed that when children disengage in primary school they experience increased negative life outcomes. “SCIPS aims to re-engage disengaged children by building a platform from which they can reach their full potential,” Becky said. SunnyKids CEO, Chris Turner, said SCIPS currently has a referral database of around 80 different community organisations, services and businesses and is garnering substantial attention from the Department of Child Safety and a wide range of paediatricians. When Neighbours star and musician Sam Clark, or Ringo as he is better known to his legion of Neighbours fans, made a special visit to Beerwah State High last week, he certainly got hearts racing. A packed auditorium waited anxiously for a glimpse of the up and coming star, who is on a five week national tour as part of his role as an ambassador for the Red Cross Blood Service.

“Having witnessed the effectiveness of the program, we are actively seeking to secure fresh funds and develop a sustainable funding model which will support the high demand for SCIPS and expansion of the SCIPS program into schools around the country,” said Mr Turner. Next month, to coincide with Child Protection Week, the Glasshouse coalition of schools is planning a fundraising day to raise awareness of the program and funds to ensure the continuation of the program. Stay tuned for more details in coming weeks. Alternatively, if you are interested in getting involved or supporting the program, contact Michelle McCabe at Beerwah State School on 5436 5555.

Sam told the students, who can donate blood from the age of 16, that every blood donation has the power to save three lives. “One in three people will need blood in their lifetime, but right now one in 30 Australians donate,” Sam said. Sam also entertained the captive audience with his latest single ‘Devastated’.

FunFest 2010

Contributed by Sharon Beattie, P and F liaison officer The Glasshouse Country Christian College Parents and Friends Association held their second Funfest on Saturday, August 7. It was a very successful day, full of fun and community spirit - a vision of happy children enjoying the rides and food while mums, dads, grandparents and friends perused the fantastic class stalls and auction items or grabbed something to eat. The rides were ever popular with beaming faces flying, sliding, bouncing and whizzing around. We had a laugh at those who braved the mechanical bull. Unfortunately the wind proved too much for the hot air balloon and after a few attempts we had to pack up. Thank you to Sky Drifter Balloons for coming along. We had fantastic auction with items that were generously donated by the local community. The P and F were overwhelmed by the generosity of these businesses and we sincerely thank them. A list of the businesses is included in this newspaper on page 42. The GCCC’s Got Talent Quest was extremely popular with six superb final acts of singing, dancing and reciting. The winners Sarah and Kate James sang a beautiful song ‘We are Australia’ and received a cheque for $300.00. Kate Fraser and Lucy Sharpe danced into second place and won $200.00 and Aaron Gisler talked his way into third place and took home $100.00! Thanks to the local Rotary Club who generously donated their time and equipment and cooked hamburgers and sausages all day for the crowd. We had delicious barbeque smells wafting around the whole day. A big thank you to the College community and the local community for their support and donations which ensured this day was successful. All funds raised from the day go back into the College to help purchase equipment or enhance facilities, which makes the College even better for our children.

Where did you travel to? In May 2010, we travelled the Silk Road Explorer Tour through the deserts of China with Wendy Wu Tours, starting and ending in Beijing. The main focus was to visit ancient Silk Road sites in the Hexi corridor and the Taklimakan Desert. Our destination was Kashgar, the ancient crossroads of the Silk Road from China in the east to Anatolia and Russia in the west and to India in the south. How long did you go for? The tour took 28 days and involved areas of high altitude, long driving distances by bus and coach and four overnight train journeys. What was the weather like? We experienced pleasant weather for the whole trip as it was spring, and we only shivered a little when we stayed in Xiahe (‘Little Tibet’) for two nights to visit the Labrang Monastry and the Sangke Grasslands at 3,000 metres above sea level. What were the highlights of your holiday? It is difficult to select highlights as everything we experienced was a revelation and a delight. Some that come immediately to mind are the Great Wall and the Forbidden City in Beijing; the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an; a 40 minute

$'9(57,6(0(17

speedboat ride; a camel ride in the Gobi desert and visit to the Mogao Grottoes near Dunhuang; and the Sunday animal market in Kashgar where men bargain for goats, sheep, donkeys and camels in the same tradition as they did in the ancient Silk Road days. What was the most unusual thing you experienced? We were amazed at the size of the cities in the western deserts, the super highways that linked them, and the western standards of the tourist hotels we stayed in, as well as the productivity of the desert: small crop farming and vineyards flourished; farms were worked by hand and water was drawn from naturally occurring underground supplies. Any other special information? The deserts were vast and remote and we saw many oil drilling rigs and refineries, power stations, mobile phone towers and highways being built to support China’s 1.3 billion people. The most encouraging sight was the happy smiling faces of the children and close knit families. We were always safe, and the most serious warning we were given was to keep a lookout for pickpockets in the bazaars but no one in our group fell victim to this. It was the adventure of a lifetime. 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

A colourful exhibition

Get with the program at Library

If you love art that’s colourful, vibrant and uplifting then you must see the latest exhibition by Glass House Mountains resident, Helen Downs, now showing at the Beerwah Library. There are over 18 pieces in this collection including paintings, collage and even a coffin which was recently part of a Coffin Art Exhibition. “I’ve always had an interest in bright colours. I don’t know if I ever started calling myself an artist - it’s just a creative expression. I have a tendency to want to uplift people and encourage, the art is probably Helen Downs an extension of that in certain ways,” Helen said. Helen’s favourite subjects are flowers and geometric patterns and she is inspired by a blank piece of paper, a blank canvas or a blank space to fill. “I don’t plan them, they just happen at the time I’m painting them. They’re not pencilled out before hand. It’s like a suspense thriller, you don’t know what it’s going to be until it’s finished. I can’t plan things out beforehand, much like life really,” she said. Being creative extends into other areas of Helen’s life as well and she had a book published in 2008 called ‘A Handful of Seeds’. “I had a shop for a number of years at Greenslopes in Brisbane. We renovated it and I painted a mural on an outside wall. Art was hung there. We had new age things and people would ask, ‘what’s this stuff all about?’ So this was a book of explanation, a simple introduction to the world of energy and other dimensions. Writing has always been an essential part of who I am or what I do, the art is like another part, music is another part of it.” Helen mainly paints using acrylics on canvas, and glitter. “I just love things that sparkle. I love staring at bright colours. I like creating something that my eye can rest on and be happy with afterwards. I enjoy painting because I like the brightness of the end result,” she said. Helen’s art will be at the library until the end of August or visit www.helensarts.webs.com For more information phone Helen on 5496 9454.

The State Library of Queensland together with Sunshine Coast Libraries is currently running a free program to get locals up to speed with online technologies like podcasting and using Facebook. The online computer course – Looking @ 2.0 – is designed to help participants navigate their way through Web 2.0 technologies, including Facebook, MySpace and Skype, creating a virtual library and online to-do list, podcasts, vodcasts and mash-ups, blogging, sharing photos on Flickr and online gaming. According to Wikipedia, a Web 2.0 site is described as: 'A site that allows its users to interact with other users or to change website content, in contrast to non-interactive websites where users are limited to the passive viewing of information that is provided to them.' The State Library of Queensland is teaching the eight module course over four months, while local libraries are providing free support sessions to complement the program. Sunshine Coast Libraries are offering support sessions to help people get started, but they can also register direct with the State Library to complete the course modules themselves. To find out more and register, go to the State Library of Queensland website www.slq.qld.gov.au/learning For available support session times, visit Sunshine Coast Libraries website www.library.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

Local businesses support local fire brigade

The Glasshouse Mountains Rural Fire Brigade is a voluntary organisation and always hard pressed for funds to maintain and repair their equipment. We are very grateful for the support from local businesses for their time and expertise often sacrificing their time and money to keep our equipment up to scratch and ready for the next emergency. Our thanks go out to Ray Brown of Ray Brown Mechanical in Glass House Mountains, Scott Mountain of Scott and Allan Mountain Electrics Beerwah and Peter Sebris from Beerwah Auto Electrical for work done on our fire trucks. Our thanks also go to 10th Battalion South East Queensland Cadets for their donation of $200.00 for a three day safety course held by our training officer Paul Incoll. Ilia Starkovsky Chairman Glasshouse Mountains Rural Fire Brigade

On behalf of the patients and families the Leukaemia Foundation cares for, I’d like to thank those Queenslanders who doorknocked and those of you who opened your door and gave generously during our July 17 - 30 Doorknock Appeal. This year more than 30,000 volunteers knocked on 700,000 doors across the state and although results are still coming in, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped us in our goal to raise $1.2 million. I also want to thank the media outlets across our state that helped promote this year’s appeal. Doorknock funds will help the Foundation provide patients and their families from throughout Queensland with vital emotional and practical support as they battle blood cancer. The Leukaemia Foundation provides and maintains home-away-from-home accommodation near medical treatment centres in Brisbane and Townsville. It also provides patient transport, counselling and education on a daily basis. Exciting plans are now under way to expand and upgrade patient accommodation and support centres and to continue with ground-breaking medical research that will lead us towards better treatments and hopefully cures for blood cancers. So, thank you once again to all those who supported this year’s Doorknock Appeal. You have contributed towards a brighter future for all those facing the trauma of a blood cancer diagnosis. Peter Johnstone Chief Executive Officer Leukaemia Foundation of Queensland

Special thanks for assistance

My heartfelt thanks to the lovely people who helped my friend, Gabi, when she collapsed in the courtyard of Gowinta Farms on Saturday, August 7. Bystanders and staff were fantastic and I can’t thank you enough. I am pleased to say Gabi is OK now. Special thanks must also go the Ambulance officers who, as always, did a fabulous job.

I agree with you, as I’m sure many others do. In fact I was going to write this letter myself but you beat me to it. The disgrace of the upkeep on the new overpass, well, need we say more! On another note regarding the signage, it has now been nearly 12 months since the overpass has been open and we still have not got a decent sign to say to the Town Centre. There are a few more empty shops as I’m sure people are noticing. Could this be related to no signage to the business centre? Small businesses are struggling and a lot are going mobile or working from home. Who can blame them? Come on council, let’s get it together and support small business and towns. Keep them clean and tidy, and make sure all entry statements into Beerwah or Glasshouse are a pleasure to look at. I’m sure there are a lot of people that could be employed to clean up, and keep up the maintenance. Kaz, Glass House Mountains

Council's response

In regard to the unnamed letter writer pointing out weeds on the Beerwah Overpass (‘Disappointed in our tidy town’, GCNews August 11), I have sent through a Service Request to the Department of Main Roads for actioning. There is also some graffiti in the pedestrian area which needs attention. As some of the road network is under State Government control, I have also alerted State Member for Caloundra, Mark McArdle so that he can lift a hand to help as well.

Landsborough Museum receives no direct funding from Government sources. We must cover all of our operational expenses from monies we raise in the museum and from grants or sponsorships. We are looking for a volunteer who would be willing to devote time to writing grant applications. The volunteer would need to be computer literate and have writing skills. Some training is available. If you can assist us please leave your name at the museum for Dot or Wendy to contact you. The new laundry area and the murals projects are steadily taking shape. The Stan Tutt Reading Room is being reorganised. A number of ex-council filing cabinets will be used to house our family history files and a second map cupboard will soon be added. A large collection of maps are awaiting addition to the museum along with a collection of Landsborough Shire papers from former deputy Chair Selwyn Carbery. Every week there is something new to see or use at Landsborough Museum. Our youngest volunteer Jack is indexing the school registers for the area. Our oldest volunteer Rex is helping with our laundry project. There are more than 70 years age difference between the two, proving that age is no barrier to working at the museum. Groups visiting Landsborough Museum have the opportunity to see a butter making presentation. Would you like to become a butter maker at the museum? Butter makers are needed on an irregular basis and would be given a weeks notice each time. Training would be made available. Leave your name if you are interested.

Rotary Club of Glasshouse Mountains Contributed by Ursula Starkovsky

Rotary Charity Golf Day August 8 Blue skies, warm ‘winter’ temperatures, good company and a lot of fun. That was the Rotary Charity Golf Day last Sunday. It was all about having fun while helping others. Once again, Rotary was overwhelmed by the generous donations of prizes or sponsorships received from the business community of Beerburrum, Glass House Mountains, Beerwah, Landsborough, Moloolah and as far away as Caboolture. Australia Zoo was again our major sponsor; we had 13 hole sponsors quite apart from all the donations and prize donations. This annual Rotary event raises funds for children and young adults suffering from Cystic Fibrosis. Rotary is providing much-needed physiotherapy for patients. On the day we had 17 teams and some individual players registered to tee off, some were locals and some came from further afield. To make playing interesting and a bit challenging, players had to putt with cricket bats on the ninth hole. Some players tried snooker, some hockey and some tried it with the bat turned around, and hurray . . . some even got the ball into the hole! It was all

good for a laugh and having a great time. After the game, Rotary’s very own Auctioneer Trevor Taylor sold the many great prizes that were sponsored. People walked away with wonderful gifts for wives, husbands, girlfriends, colleagues or simply themselves. The winners from the day were, first, Caboolture Rotary Club, second Australia Zoo, third Frohloff’s Fruit Shop. Best dressed team was Beerwah Hotel with their bright yellow outfits, the losing prize went to Bank of Queensland and the lucky draw went to Albany Creek Rotary, Chestnuts and Passier family and the Curves Team. The longest drive was taken out by Doug Crook, and nearest to the hole by Daniel Nesbitt. We have listed all of our sponsors on page 19 of this weeks GCNews and we would like to thank each and every one of them for their help to make this day such a success. The Rotary Club meets regularly on Monday evening at 6.15pm at the Beerwah Hotel for a dinner meeting, and every couple of weeks we organise a speaker. Interested? All new people are welcome. Please ring our secretary to book in a meeting on 0431 829 119. For photos from the day, see Out and About, page 24.

Prep to Year 12 in 2010

By Dave Erbacher

Last Sunday, the Glasshouse SES Group was called to assist in the medical evacuation of an injured climber from the lower slopes of Mt Beerwah. The 22-year-old male tourist from America was in a party of five climbers on the way down when he slipped and slid almost 30 metres and landed heavily against a large rock. Whilst this rock saved him from falling all the way to the bottom (a further 80 metres), it gave him a compound fracture of his right thigh and a possible fractured wrist. The Emergency Management Queensland Helicopter lowered a doctor and paramedics to the site and the patient has stabilised and eventually winched out and taken to the RBH. After assisting in the preparation for evacuation, the SES Team assisted other members of the group to the mountain base. It should be noted that Mt Beerwah is still closed to climbers and those caught are subject to a fine. In all there were 12 climbers in the vicinity of the rescue. Many thanks to Roger, Astrid, Dave, Tim, Louise and Ross for responding to the call. On a brighter note, the SES Group now has another five members who have spent time and effort in becoming qualified to carry out vertical rescues. Well done Tim, Frederick, Dave, Cheryl and Ashley. The group is always ready to talk to interested people about becoming involved. Not everyone is cut out to do mountain rescues but our Group requires more people to assist climbers and in the many other activities where support is required. If you are interested, either come to the ‘Shed’ in Beerwah Parade, Beerwah (opposite the RSL Club) on the first or third Thursday nights of the month from 7.00pm or contact our Acting Group Leader, Robert Barry on 0427 894 182.

Big deal out of small business

Male Mortality rates

It’s enterprises like ThinLinX that remind us all why it’s so important to support small business on the Sunshine Coast. ThinLinX is about to go global with its Hot-e, a small computer that can match the multi-media capabilities of your traditional PC. The product’s attracted strong interest from Microsoft and will hopefully hit the market by Christmas. I recently toured ThinLinX’s studio at the Innovation Centre, Sippy Downs, to underline my election pledge to support and foster employment opportunities on the Sunshine Coast. A key way to create jobs is to help small businesses survive and thrive.

Milk madness

The case against Maleny’s Maple Street Co-Op will soon be over but it’s a shame it’s gone this far. The waste of resources has been disgraceful. The business is accused of ‘misleading the public’ over the sale of unpasteurised milk. The case has been before a court on six occasions, each time involving Queensland Health staff. The magistrate is expected to announce his decision sometime this month. I’m not about to enter the debate about raw milk for human consumption. What does concern me is that excess effort and money has been poured into what’s essentially a trivial legal matter. The State Labor Government doesn’t have its priorities straight.

Sports stars rewarded

It’s a thrill to show my support for the Sunshine Coast’s emerging sports stars. The Australian Sports Commission has accepted my recommendations for the latest round of Local Sporting Champions Grants. Eleven local athletes will each receive $500. They include volleyballer Georgie White, canoeist Matthew Gilliman and swimmer Emily Marshall. The programme gives financial assistance to young sportsmen and women who are participating in a state or national competition. The money can go towards travel, accommodation, equipment or uniform costs.

The mortality rates of Australian men are significantly higher than their female counter parts in certain critical areas. The Health Education Researching Blokes (HERB Program) has been developed by the North and West Queensland Primary Health Care group in Central Queensland. This impressive collaboration is a travelling health service that is reaching some of our most remote Queensland locations. It enables members of the HERB project team to drive to remote locations such as Birdsville and Muttaburra to ensure that there is screening for cardiovascular risks, diabetes, bowel cancer and mental health. These have been identified as the four main culprits responsible for soaring rates of mortality amongst Australian males. More alarmingly, the more remote the locations, the higher the mortality figure climbs. The HERB team travels all year round (terrain permitting) to attend field days, pastoral stations and work crews to talk to men and to try and assist dispel the myths and stigma associated with men’s health through discussion, promotion of symptoms and the provision of resources on various male health topics. Testing is available and the help that is so often needed can flow from there. Asking for help or admitting that something just doesn’t feel right is often the biggest stigma in our more remote communities. Being a bloke and ‘toughing it out’ is killing our fathers, husbands and sons. This program is an invaluable tool that I hope will one day be available to all Queenslanders no matter where they live. Some alarming statistics. Compared to women, men’s mortality rates : 161 per cent Higher for disease of the Circulatory System 122 per cent Higher for disease for the Digestive System 243 per cent Higher for Accidents and Injury 300 per cent Higher for Suicide 18 per cent Higher for all Cancers The question is if and how this service could be adopted here on the Sunshine Coast?

Commissioner Flat Road Peachester

Zooming into 2030

A number of residents residing along Commissioner Flat Road, Peachester have contacted my office concerned about motorists speeding along this country road. Well known to motorists as a through road to Woodford, the sealing of the Morton Regional Council end has benefited residents, but increased the traffic. The Sunshine Coast Council will now undertake a road safety assessment, speed review from one end to the other end and traffic counts. This information will determine actions to be taken by both Councils. I will keep the community informed once the assessments have been made.

Slide stolen from Peace Park

A fibreglass slide has been stolen off the play equipment located at Peace Park in Landsborough. A replacement slide has been ordered, and the deck has been barricaded where the slide entry was. If anyone has any information regarding the disappearance of the slide, it would be appreciated if you could contact my office on 5420 8987.

Trees to be removed

Council will remove the White Cedar Tree in King Road, outside the Child Care Centre in Mooloolah. This tree looks dead and is a deciduous species which has poisonous small berries. Being in this position the tree will be removed as soon as possible – before the tree begins to flower and form berries. Energex have asked permission to remove two Wattle trees and four Camphor Laurels in Dixon Road, Landsborough within the power line clearance zone. Energex will also remove one Bloodwood tree at the intersection of Old Gympie Road and Landsborough-Maleny Road that is leaning towards the powerlines and structurally unsound, growing from the side of an old stump.

Planning for 2030

Council is inviting community members to help plan and shape the next 20 years at a community conference, October 6 - 7, 2010. The community conference is the second of its kind to be held since the council amalgamation in 2008 and is a crucial stage in developing the Sunshine Coast’s first ever Community Plan. The deadline for nominations is August 27 and forms are available from council libraries, customer service centres, council’s website http://www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au or by calling council on 5475 7272.

I encourage all to get involved in council’s ‘Zooming into 2030’ competition – to let us know what you'd like the Sunshine Coast to look like in 20 years. To enter, all you need to do is take a picture or create an image that represents your vision; then, write a caption that explains your image. Captions must start with the words ‘In 2030 I hope that…’ Zooming into 2030 is an important part of creating the Sunshine Coast Community Plan and many of the images and captions submitted will be used as illustrations. There are three categories for entry and $3,000 in prizes to be won, including an overall Mayoral prize of $1,000. The deadline for submissions is 5.00pm, September 17. You can find all the competition details and an application form on council's website www.sunshinecoast. qld.gov.au

Sunshine Coast Spring Wildflower Festival

From August 14 - 29, the popular Sunshine Coast Spring Wildflower festival will delight those with an eye and ear for something spectacular. The festival not only showcases stunning wildflower displays but also some quirky ways to enjoy them. There are opportunities to scope out the flowers by kayak on the Currimundi River, to photograph wildflowers from behind the lens of a camera, or take part in an eco-friendly gardening workshop. This free festival features over 40 walks, talks and workshops right across the Sunshine Coast. Spaces are limited so please book your place as soon as possible. For more information - brochures are available at council libraries, customer service centres and online at www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

Australia’s first Affordable Living Strategy

Council has taken a step towards creating a future where living on the Coast will be more affordable for everyone by adopting the ‘Sunshine Coast Affordable Living Strategy’. The strategy proposes options to improve affordability and looks at the way we live, the size and type of housing we choose, the resources we use, how we move around, our relationship with the environment and the way our neighbourhoods evolve and function. Visit council’s website for a full copy of the strategy.

One hundred per cent of all money raised from our golf day goes into our ‘children’s fund’ and most of that goes to help the children on the sunshine coast suffering from Cystic Fibrosis. Thank you to all of these businesses who have made the effort to work with us to help the community. Please make the effort to buy from them whenever you can. We would like to especially thank Australia Zoo for their major sponsorship of this event. Without their assistance, and Terri Irwin’s personal assistance, we would not be able to help the cystic fibrosis children on the Sunshine Coast as much as we do.

Thank you again, everyone!!!

Peter Slipper MP, LNP candidate

Election 2010

the countdown continues

In last week’s edition we featured the responses of Fisher candidates, the LNP’s Peter Slipper MP and Chris Cummins, the ALP candidate. This week we feature the responses of Green’s candidate Garry Claridge, as well as the responses from all candidates to the additional questions we have received from our readers over the past week.

Please note Family First candidate Robyn Robertson said that due to the overwhelming requests she receives each day, and working fulltime, she was unable to respond to our reader questions by the deadline. She encourages voters to email her directly at rrobertson@familyfirstqld.org.au for any queries.

Chris Cummins ALP candidate In relation to fishing closures, there are a large number of areas presently closed and proposed for future closure, however there does not seem to be any scientific evidence produced to support the closures. The fishing industry both recreational and professional is big business and these closures will have a large impact on our economy. What does your party propose to do about these closures going forward? Will the necessary scientific evidence be produced to support any future decisions? Will the areas that are closed

be eventually reopened? Fisheries management is complex but necessary to ensure that Australia has a sustainable and prosperous fishing industry. Areas that are subject to closure are only closed after detailed scientific research has been conducted, or based on a precautionary principle where the status of the stock is unknown. Prior to closure there is a period of public consultation where detailed research is made available. Zones closed to fishing may be reopened in the future if fish stocks recover sufficiently but this again, would be determined by exhaustive scientific research. What is the policy concerning your political party’s stance on support for Israel in relation to the problems with its neighbours in that region? The Federal Government recognises the nation of Israel and believes that negotiation and open dialogue will deliver the optimum outcome for all people of the region.

Voting made easier for low vision Aussies Vision Australia, the nation’s leading provider of blindness and low vision services, is now open for early voting. For the first time in history, voters who are blind or have low vision will have the option to complete their ballot papers in secret. At this month’s election, an Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) contact centre will be phoned when a person who is blind or has low vision presents at a designated polling station to vote (AEC divisional offices on August 21 and Vision Australia Centres from now). In order to keep the vote secret, the contact centre will not be told who is calling; this information will be kept at the polling station. “While this method of assistive voting is not as independent as we’d like, it certainly affords people who are blind with a higher level of secrecy,” said Mr Gerard Menses, CEO, Vision Australia. “This is a step towards ensuring that people who are blind or have low vision will eventually have

the opportunity to exercise their constitutional right to vote both independently and privately,” he added. This system was developed by the AEC, in collaboration with Vision Australia, the Human Rights Commission, and Blind Citizens Australia. At future elections, it is planned that an electronic system will be available. In Queensland, the closest location is at Vision Australia, 373 Old Cleveland Road, Coorparoo QLD 4151. On polling day, August 21, telephone voting will be available in locations across Australia to enable electors who are blind or have low vision to cast a secret vote. The locations will include Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) divisional offices and blind service provider sites in capital cities. For more information call 13 23 26 and ask where your nearest AEC Divisional office is and whether it will have telephone voting.

In relation to fishing closures, there are a large number of areas presently closed and proposed for future closure, however there does not seem to be any scientific evidence produced to support the closures. The fishing industry both recreational and professional, is big business and these closures will have a large impact on our economy. What does your party propose to do about these closures going forward? Will the necessary scientific evidence be produced to support any future decisions? Will the areas that are closed be eventually reopened? I am acutely aware of the importance of the commercial and recreational fishing industries to the Sunshine Coast. I recently met with local representatives to discuss this very issue. Labor has failed to adequately consult them on the proposed Marine Protected Areas. A Liberal National Government will put an immediate hold on the Marine Bioregional Planning process and then restructure it within one year, in consultation with industry and the community. We will also require peer-reviewed scientific evidence of threats to marine biodiversity to be made available to all stakeholders before any decision is made on future MPAs (particularly any no-take zone). Our policy is designed to balance environmental preservation with economic growth and strong coastal communities. What is the policy concerning your political party’s stance on support for Israel in relation to the problems with its neighbours in that region? I support Australia’s long-standing friendship with Israel and the right of all people in the Middle East to live in peace, free from the threat of violence.

The electorate of Fisher is named after former Australian Prime Minister Andrew Fisher, who was Prime Minister of Australia in 1908 - 09, 1910 - 13 and 1914 - 15. Fisher covers an area of 1,170 sq kms from part of Alexandra Headland in the north, west to Cambroon and Conondale, south to Beerburrum and east to the coast. Major towns and population centres include Caloundra, Sippy Downs, the coastal strip including Kawana, Minyama and Mooloolaba, Montville, Maleny, Beerwah, Beerburrum, Glass House Mountains and Landsborough. The electorate boasts a range of industries, from tourism, service industries and construction and development to education, pineapple, orchard and flower crops, dairy and beef cattle farming, and horse racing. There are currently 83,365 electors on the roll for the Fisher electorate.

Garry Claridge, Greens candidate 1 How does your party approach the issue of people dishonestly claiming government benefits? What measures would you put in place to ensure taxpayer funds are only claimed by those with legitimate needs? Detecting fraud is a process best dealt with by experts in the field. As 'Grassroots Democracy' is one of our core values, we would also like to hear from the community on methods for satisfying needs and avoiding fraud. 2 It seems Australia has an 'open door' policy when it comes to refugees. What is your party's policy in terms of border protection and refugees? Australia has an international agreement on our intake of refugees. Last year that totalled approximately 13,500 people. This international commitment will remain. We will continue to protect our borders; if greater need arises then protection will be increased. 3 Will your party consider changes to legislation so that pensioners don't have to declare rebates from energy providers as an earning? There is a huge push for households to become more energy efficient, so I have had solar panels installed on my roof, but when I receive rebates from my energy providers, I have to declare it as income, which could affect my pension. Yes, that is a concern. If we do not have it detailed in our policy then I would work to include it. One of our core values is 'Social and Economic Justice', hence we would seek to right any disadvantage. 4 Why do politicians make so many promises they can't seem to keep? How will your party ensure it implements all the election promises and pledges if we vote for you? Our policies are open and published. We are a 'bottom-up' decision making Party, hence decision making comes from the members and from the electorate. So, this makes us accountable for our actions. 5 How does your party plan to provide for our nation's ageing population, in a respectful way that acknowledges the choices and preferences of our elderly? The first of our published 'older-people' principles is: 'older people have the right to live with dignity'. We acknowledge that the 'skills and life experience of older people benefit the whole community'. Also, that 'older people have an equal right to participate in the social, economic and political aspects of life and to maintain their independence to what ever degree they feel able'. These are principles embedded into our policy. 6 For greens candidate - Does Bob Brown want to close 90 per cent of Australian fishing grounds to Australians only? There are so many foreign and Indonesian boats up north that don't get stopped for illegal fishing. Both our law and International law allow us to have certain controls within our 'Economic Zone'; i.e. 200 nautical miles from shore. We can restrict fishing for various reasons; preserving stocks, protecting economic interests of local fishing fleets, etc. Hence, we would have to declare that the fishing by foreign vessels is causing stock or economic problems. We do know that stock is becoming a real problem, hence this restriction is likely. We would like to make it easier to make these decisions by reviewing all offshore constitutional settlements to ensure consistent regulation across state and Commonwealth marine boundaries. We also need better policing. In relation to fishing closures, there are a large number of areas presently closed and proposed for future closure, however there does not seem to be any scientific evidence produced to support the closures. The fishing industry both recreational and professional, is big business and these closures will have a large impact on our economy. What does your party propose to do about these closures going forward? Will the necessary scientific evidence be produced to support any future decisions? Will the areas that are closed be eventually reopened? We want to use ‘real science’ to determine 'no take' areas. This would also be determined by consultation with all stakeholders. We would endeavour to correct any unnecessary 'no take' areas; many of these areas are State controlled, hence we would need to work with the State authorities. What is the policy concerning your political party's stance on support for Israel in relation to the problems with its neighbours in that region? One of our core values is 'Peace and Non-Violence'. So, we do not condone violence used by one nation against the other; no matter who it is.

A newly released information sheet will help enhance the health of diabetes sufferers. Approximately 74 per cent of those with diabetes engage in no, or low levels of exercise, while only 30 per cent of people who have been reported in taking action for diabetes have been shown to exercise most days, despite the evidence highlighting the benefits of exercise. Exercise physiologist, Dr Mike Climstein says the info sheet provides diabetes sufferers with the knowledge they need to lead an optimal lifestyle. The prevalence of diabetes in Australia is staggering with approximately 1.7 million people reported to have the disease with diabetes being the sixth leading cause of death. “The cost directly associated with diabetes has been estimated to be $812 million in recent years, and lifestyle modification, including a controlled diet and regular exercise can help in effectively managing diabetes. He said ativities such as choosing low GI foods; reducing fat intake; watching alcohol intake; ensuring a balance of other nutrients (calcium, iron, fibre), combined with cardiorespiratory and resistance exercise are essential in good diabetes management.

Photographer's corner with Marg and John

The Art of Seeing

The creative photographer is constantly on the lookout for photo opportunities. He does not look only at the ‘big picture’ but looks inside it. He is looking for elements which work together to create a picture to convey something of the mood he feels. His camera is merely a tool that he knows well allowing him to concentrate on making photographs. So what makes the difference between a mediocre photograph and one that makes us feel the same strong emotion felt by the photographer? As an aspiring photographer practises his craft and looks at the works of the masters, more and more will he look at a landscape or cityscape in the viewfinder and compose the various elements, excluding those that are merely distracting or unnecessary. Above all he becomes aware of the light. He takes into account its intensity; he feels the mood created by the angle of the sun’s rays as they light up the subject. He is excited for now he is beginning to ‘see’. Without light there is nothing. Strong backlighting puts a rim of light round some leaves in a rainforest; side lighting with long low angles, ripples across the texture of the sand dunes; cast shadows provide new shapes and contrasts; form shadows give a strong dimensional effect. From dawn until dark and season to season the light is changing, so ‘being there’ to catch the moment makes all the difference. www.brettwestonarchive.com

Queenslanders sip their way to success Cancer Council Queensland would like to thank the thousands of Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea hosts, guests, donors and media who supported this year’s morning tea campaign! Incredibly, Queenslanders have donated just over $2 million to Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea this year, $50,000 above the Cancer Council’s target! This is the most Cancer Council Queensland has ever raised from a fundraising campaign of its kind, and it couldn’t have been achieved without the fantastic support of the thousands of Queensland Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea hosts and their guests, who made every cup count in support of Cancer Council Queensland. For those who want to continue the fight against cancer, Daffodil Day is coming up on Friday, August 27. Visit www.daffodilday.com.au for more information. AUGUST 18 2010 |

As all of Australia is looking at the election coming up shortly and deciding who should lead this country we can ask ourselves some questions. Can we trust the two main politicians who want to lead the country? What is their track record in the area helping us to trust them? Do their actions of the past tell us how they will act in the future? It is interesting in the time of Jesus, politics and corruption was everywhere. At that time the Romans were the ruling party and the Sanhedrin also had some political clout in certain areas. The Sanhedrin was the church leadership of that time. What did Jesus address? He addressed the issue of human nature by saying that people need to be changed. All human beings including politicians live and act out of his/her core beliefs. So as the elections draw near one question is: what are the politicians’ core beliefs because out of these

beliefs they will live and act. Jesus addressed this issue too when he mentioned that out of the heart come all the desires of a person whether it is good or bad. Matthew 15:19; Mark 7:21 In the Bible we read that all are born with a desire Rom. 5:10 ‘There is no one righteous not even one; 12b there is no one who does good not even one.’ Here are some more examples Psalm 51:5; Jeremiah 17:9. Where does this leave us when it comes to voting in the upcoming election? We need wisdom to choose wisely.

Licensed building contractors are required to state their name and BSA licence number in all advertisements. A BSA licence is mandatory for building design, plumbing and drainage; gas fittings; termite inspection and reports and pre-purchase building inspections. Unlicensed contractors for all other building work are required to state in their advertisement the value or work they are entitled to carry out without a licence. Failure to provide this information can result in a substantial penalty. It is the advertisers’ responsibility to comply with these requirements.

Market ripe to bear fruit Commenting on the recent announcement by the RBA that it will hold interest rates at 4.5 per cent, Denise Pinwill, Principal, First National Real Estate Beerwah says there are plenty of opportunities around for home buyers and sellers, given current market conditions, as long as the fundamentals are focused on. “At times like these, homes that are properly presented, appropriately priced and well marketed will always do well, regardless of what happens with interest rates,” Denise said. “It’s a matter of making sure you get the basic factors right and plum properties should bear fruit.” When there is relatively high business confidence, strong levels of immigration and low unemployment, the market becomes suitable for buyers. However, those seeking to sell can also make sure they take advantage of these prime conditions. “In a slower market, there is less pressure on sellers and buyers and during the cooler months, there is less volume of stock around from which buyers can choose, so houses are more likely to sell,” Denise said. Denise Pinwill said currently there are growing investment returns in the property market, which should prove lucrative for the astute investor. “Investors, in particular, can benefit greatly from the current market conditions and pick up some terrific properties that offer strong returns,” Denise said.

Green thumbs or not, prizes to be won With just weeks to go before the close of the ‘Grown At Home’ photo competition, people around the Sunshine Coast are donning gardening gloves, planting seedlings and taking photos of their efforts. Not only will some fine and healthy harvests be reaped in spring, but also the entrants will go in the running to share in more than $3,500 worth of prizes. The ‘Grown at Home’ photo competition is a joint project between Queensland Health and Sunshine Coast Council and is part of a local project called Urban Food. The project aims to support local people in creating a more sustainable food supply for the Sunshine Coast region. Twenty-three lucky winners will be drawn from a hat on the first day of spring. You don’t need a fancy garden or photo to win. All you need to do is follow these few steps. 1. Plant a seedling in your yard or container garden at home e.g. lettuce, broccoli, peas, basil, parsley…. 2. Take a photo

of yourself, with your newly planted seedling in your garden. If you already have a herb or vegetable garden, or a fruit tree, you can take photo of this instead. 3. Think of a recipe using your herb, fruit or vegetable that you have grown at home. 4. Go to www.urbanfood.com.au and complete the online entry form. Young Alice certainly doesn’t think she’s too young to garden and neither does her mum Karen. “Alice loves helping in the garden, especially watering all the baby plants with her little can. Quite a few seedlings were trampled to get that photo too,” Karen said. Each entrant must also send in a recipe using the fruit, vegetable or herb they’ve grown. Alice and Karen chose Tuna Broccoli Pasta Salad to enjoy their broccoli: Ingredients A handful of broccoli florets from the garden; Cherry tomatoes; a small tin of tuna; penne pasta 2 cloves of garlic ; Basil pesto (if desired) ; a little olive oil Method: Boil penne pasta until cooked. Heat a little olive oil in a pan and stir fry chopped garlic. Add broccoli florets and stir until just a little tender. Halve cherry tomatoes. When pasta is cooled add all ingredients (including tuna) in a large dish and mix - stir through a little basil pesto if you like (or just a splash of olive oil). Serve warm or cold. Visit www.urbanfood.com.au to see more photos and recipes. Great prizes are on offer for the lucky winners. First prize ($1,930) is a Sustainable Edible Garden Design makeover, which includes a design consultancy session, a raised garden bed The Glasshouse Country Christian College P & F Committee (set up and filled on sincerely thank the following sponsors who generously donated to the Glasshouse Country Christian College Funfest 2010. your site), a worm farm (complete with worms Australia Zoo Specsavers Optometrists, Frozen Drink Co and worm blanket), Montezuma’s Beerwah Liaisons Hair Designs three great gardening Birch Carroll & Coyle Monarch Realty Country Kitchen books and a DVD.

Statewide call to bust those ‘wascally’ weeds

It’s that time of the year again – a week when Queensland communities have the chance to come together to fight for our right to be free of weeds. Weedbuster Week, from September 6 to 12, provides an opportunity to practice weed prevention and early detection – the theme for this year’s event. Biosecurity Queensland senior biosecurity officer Petra Skoien said people were asked to get involved in the week by ‘busting’ weeds around their local community. “If you care about your environment and want to help tackle this serious problem, sign up for one of the activities happening over Weedbuster Week or register your own event,” she said. “Whether you’re a local resident, a student, landcare group or grazier, why not register an event, activity or display in your region to help raise awareness of weeds and their impacts? “Activities such as weeding at local creeks, bushland, parks or wetlands; weed displays with local native alternatives; barbecues with guest speakers, and tree plantings, have all been fantastic events in previous years. “You could even view the week as a time to attract new members to your landcare or bushcare group. “It’s easy to register and find out more information – just head to www. weedbusterweek.info.au to get involved, and to also receive your organiser’s kit.” Dr Skoien said it was important everyone played a responsible role in environmental sustainability, making the necessary changes in behaviour to help the environment. “Weeds cost Queensland an estimated $600 million annually and have significant impacts on industries, natural ecosystems, and human and animal health,” she said. “On a larger scale, they cost the Australian economy $4 billion every year in lost agricultural production. “By getting involved in a Weedbuster Week activity you will be helping to reduce these impacts, and maintain a clean, green and safe environment that Australians are so fortunate to have.” Dr Skoien said one of the most cost-effective ways to control weeds was to stop them spreading and to eradicate new infestations. “Don’t give weeds free reign in your back yard or in your town – familiarise yourself with Queensland’s declared weeds so you can easily identify them when they pop up,” she said. “It’s also the responsibility of landholders to control declared weeds on their own properties. “Together, we can help reduce the stranglehold weeds have on our way of life.” To identify weeds or any unusual looking plants, or to find out appropriate control options, contact your local council or visit the Biosecurity Queensland website at www.biosecurity.qld.gov. au or call 13 25 23.

Lantana is one of the most damaging declared weeds in Queensland, covering five million hectares throughout most coastal and subcoastal areas of eastern Australia, from North Queensland to southern New South Wales

Wheatgrass wonder plant

Glasshouse Country Aechmea Red Ribbon plant

Bromeliad Society Inc. Contributed by Bob McLean, President Phone: 0427 606 240 When walking around our garden in winter and looking at which of our bromeliads I could share with you this time I thought we would look at tow species ‘Aechmea Red Ribbon’ which is a cultivar and the ‘Billbergia’. The Red Ribbon is not as spectacular in its floral display, even though this changes from the red berry to deep orange as it matures in the spring and into summer. The foliage of this plant gives a soft blending in the garden with its deep green almost olive body. It’s striped with burgundy stripes running from the base to the tip. In some plants these stripes can be a broken with the green flecking of the body of the leaf. This brom can be grown as a single plant or in a clump. When in a clump form and

Billbergia flower

Billbergia plant

Aechmea Red Ribbon flower in flower this cultivar will provide any shaded spot in garden a soft in fill with other plants. The amount of light will change the colour of the berry like flower pods. This cultivar is a cross of Aechmea racinae x Victoriana v. discolour. The Viresea (v) cross provides the soft leaf form of the very pleasant plant. We have so many billbergias in flower at present the one I have chosen is the ‘Billbergia eloiseae’. The upright leaves of this plant are strong and stand erect; the flower spike emerges as a pointed almost spear like tip. Within a few days the pink florescent flower emerges, at first standing erect and then as the floral envelope begins to open, it will take on the pendulum like pose. When this pink envelope opens it reveals another spectacular show of colour of green, blue and yellow. The petals as they develop will begin to role back revealing the internal beauty of the flower. This flower doesn’t last as long as some other brom flowers but the show it displays is worth the 10 to 21 days. Planted in a clump form you will have a display for most of winter. Billbergias will take a little more sun than other bromeliad species but still prefer good shaded light as they will burn in direct sun.

Go Green Rainforest Nursery plant of the week Pointed Leaf Hovea, Hovea acutifolia When you are driving around the Sunshine Coast at the moment you will most likely pass a beautiful purple flowering plant on the roadside. This gorgeous local plant is the Pointed Leaf Hovea. Great examples can be seen on Steve Irwin Way near Ewen Maddock Dam reserve. Through late winter and early spring, Hovea put on a magic display of purple pea shaped flowers. This hardy local shrub is fantastic in a garden situation where it can handle full sun to semi shade. An annual prune will maintain a nice bushy specimen and every year come spring you will be rewarded with a stunning floral display.

Growing and eating healthy foods to eat doesn’t always mean that you need to have a large fertile veggie patch – or even a small one. Sometimes you can grow-your-own in just a 30cm by 45cm tray. Local Beerwah tradesman Percy Brady called in and spoke with me about his passion – growing and using wheatgrass. Wheatgrass is the young wheat plant when it’s newly sprouted, and Percy can personally vouch for its medicinal and health benefits. For over eight years, Percy has been growing, juicing and drinking wheatgrass juice and has been amazed at the positive improvement in his health and wellbeing. “There are so many vitamins and minerals in the juice and it’s so concentrated. It’s the most amazing health tonic – 1kg of wheat grass has the same benefits as 22kg of fresh vegetables,” Percy said. He says that wheatgrass juice is great for the young and the elderly, or just anyone who needs a health boost. “Just one 30ml shot of the juice helps to detoxify the body, fights respiratory and other infections, provides a source of selenium, and removes cancer-causing antioxidants from the blood.” You can grow wheatgrass at home by sprouting wheat seeds, but the problem is that it needs a special slow-turning juicer to extract the juice without destroying the nutrient value. Although Percy grows and juices his own, he suggests that the best way to get your daily wheatgrass juice shot is to ask your health food store or local café if they can stock in the wheatgrass and juice it for you. “If your lifestyle means you can’t eat as healthy as you’d like to, then maybe a shot of wheatgrass juice a day is your answer. It’s worked for me.”

News in brief

Councillor opens Beerwah office

Division 1 Councillor Anna Grosskreutz is pleased to announce the opening of her new Beerwah office to allow face-to-face meetings with members of the local community. A dedicated office for Cr Grosskreutz has been made possible in partnership with the Beerwah and District Youth Access Centre (BADYYAC) Coordinator Michelle Leckie. The new office is located in the BADYYAC building which is situated behind the Skatepark in the Beerwah Sportsground complex on Roberts Road. Cr Grosskreutz welcomed the opportunity to open a dedicated office in the GlassHouse Country Region. “After many years of meeting the community at various functions and venues, even in parks, it is time to have a local office,” Cr Grosskreutz said. “The council amalgamation has meant I am required to attend meetings in offices located in Nambour and Tewantin as well as my Caloundra office. “I am aware of the inconvenience to residents with the larger electorate taking me into Kawana and often away from GlassHouse Country. “The new office will be by appointment only by calling my Caloundra Office on 5420 8987. My assistant Hilary is happy to book times as well as provide any background information needed to assist in matters being raised. “I hope this new arrangement is more suitable to residents.” AUGUST 18 2010 |

Declining numbers of teacher librarians Australia has lost over one third of its qualified teacher librarians under the policy of empowering local schools. Once a world leader in school libraries, we are about to lose our standing and our profession. How will Julia stop the decline and still extend the Empowering Local Schools policy she announced last week? The answers can be found in an inquiry she requested as Education Minister. The report from the four month long ‘House Inquiry into School Libraries and Teacher Librarians’, interrupted by the election, awaits completion. After 382 submissions and 12 hearings in all states and territories, the cross party House Committee on Education and Training chaired by Sharon Bird, MP, has come to grips with the complex issue of declining numbers of qualified teacher librarians in our state schools. The loss of tertiary training programs, inadequate staffing budgets, lack of national standards, ignorance of international research linking wellstaffed and well-supported school libraries with student literacy and learning and the loss of state school advisory services and their corporate knowledge are just some of the causes which state and federal governments must address. Ask what your candidates will do to facilitate this report. Every Australian student deserves a quality school library with a qualified teacher librarian. Debbie Orr Glass House Mountains

Environmental solutions Christopher Cummins won his state seat of Kawana on One Nation preferences, then lost the seat six years later to the Liberal National Party. He now seeks to win the federal seat of Fisher on Green preferences, in a deal stitched up before the ALP knew the Green environment policies, and even more staggeringly, before the Greens knew the ALP environment policies. As a former member of the Labor State Government Ministry, Cummins was involved with deeply indebting the state to international bankers to the tune of some $70 billion, creating a situation of paranoia within the health system, ignoring concerns about Dr Jayant Patel, forcing local councils to amalgamate and stealing their water supplies and backing the environmentally destructive Traveston Dam in one of the state's leading food basins. The Liberal National Party environment policies, announced months ago by the Liberal Party's Greg Hunt, include proper reference to farmers being assisted to make the humus in their soil a living organism which takes CO2 in from the air. The Liberal policy includes provision for permaculture, organic and bio-dynamic farmers to be recognised for their CSIRO proven, up to 260 tonnes per year of soil sequestration per hectare. The Labor and the Greens certainly do not recognise how alternative farmers can make very real contributions to solving global warming. The Liberal policy includes an Australian developed high voltage DC major power transmission system which will prevent the dissipation of the half of the power of the current AC transmission system. This alone will allow Australia to reduce coal consumption for electricity by half. 48 |

The 2009 LNP state conference carried a motion allowing 2kw electric motors on bikes, setting up a great alternative to the 60 km/hr petrol powered mopeds. State Labor opposed this by immediately restricting the speed of skateboarders to jogging pace. Given their stated policies, and their previous actions, I don't think Cummins or the Greens can put forward solutions for our climate. The Liberals sure do have real environmental solutions. Gerry Clarke Peachester

A Politician’s Dreaming “Support real action” said Sleeping Slipper as he wakened from his sleep, “Of which I have seen plenty, whilst busy counting sheep.” “I have devised very many ways of spending your tax collection, And I thank you ever so much for your vote at last election.” “The six hundred and forty thousand plus you kindly gave to me, Enabled me to live it up, I’m as happy as can be.” “When I accuse the Labor mob of spending too much money, I do this with tongue in cheek, thinking I am funny.” “Magazines I bought, I spent the sum of seventeen sixty smackers, Too increase my political skills? Labor must be crackers.” “Sixteen grand on overseas jaunts, Chile and Argentina, In all my time in politics, the grass has not been greener.” “Taxis sixteen thousand plus of your hard earned dollars, If I get back into power, I will tighten up your collars.” “Just think of all the sausages I will grill for you, I will exceed six hundred and forty thousand five hundred and sixty two.” “The above will just be peanuts for the lurks I have on hold, This lovely seat of Fischer is surely a mine of gold.” “So if you want me to spend more cash, than I did recently, Turn up at the polling booth and place a vote on me.” Len Parrott Glass House Mountains

Dump site still open Thank you for publishing my letter and the pictures of the rubbish at the new national park. I went for a walk there again last Thursday, August 12 and would just like to inform your readers that the free dump site is still open to the public. It is the first turn on the left after the Marshs Road. Turn off on Old Gympie Road heading up the track to Mt Tibberoowuccum. Nothing has been done to rectify the problem. I have not had any response from the Minister for Climate Change and Sustainability or Mr Geoff Brittingham the manager of Sunshine Coast National Parks maybe they are too busy with the up coming elections? I will be sending the photos to all the local members so hopefully they will be able to do something about this problem. Jan Hopkins Glass House Mountains

Come from behind victory makes 16 years in a row By Dakoda Barker

The students of Beerwah State High School have shown their determination in a come-from-behind victory over Mountain Creek State High School on Monday, August 9. After trailing by a mere 60 points for most of the day, the students rallied for the relay events and gave a stellar performance. There were some very impressive performances from each team, and a near record breaking performance by the Open Boys team cemented their victory. Beerwah State High School claimed the Boys

Aggregate Trophy, as well as the Overall Zone Shield, making it their 16th consecutive win. Glasshouse Country Christian College took out the Averages Trophy, calculated by dividing the number of points and the total number of enrolled students. Letitia Spedding, Hannah Mulholland, Jasmine Standring, Kacie Austin, Jake Chalmers and Ben Brown from Beerwah State High School and Bek White from Glasshouse Country Christian College were all age champions for their age groups.

Beerwah Bulldogs August 14 Report The Nambour Crushers came to Beerwah on Saturday with a spring in their step after a good showing against Kawana the week before. Under 18’s started proceedings and the Bulldogs were looking to turnaround a disappointing performance against Nambour in the 1st Round. In what was a better showing this time round the home side still could not break the Crushers defence and went down 24-0. The Reserve Grade were also looking to gain some revenge from the previous encounter against Nambour but the visitors came out firing to rack up a half time score of 44-0. The Bulldogs came out in the second half hoping to put together some inspired footy for the last time at home for the season and did not let anyone down by scoring 28 points to 16 but the

Crushers proved too good on the night. Last games of the regular season at Maroochydore on Saturday and then the Under 18’s begin their semi final campaign a week later. We would like to see the Bulldog Army come along and offer support. Reserve Grade Nambour Crushers – 60 (Dan Brook 1, Arthur Field 1, Dan Sagigi 2, Adrian Mills 2, Matt Millar 4, Kev Lowe 1 - Tries) (Matt Millar - 8 Goals) def Beerwah Bulldogs – 28 - (Adam Tedge 1, Nathaniel Flores 1, Ricky Thompson 2, Graham Green 1 - Tries) (Ricky Thompson 4 - Goals) Under 18 Nambour Crushers – 24 – (Matt Bowd 1, Nick Wallace 1, Nathan Perez 1, Ben Brown 1 - Tries) (David Oakes 4 - Goals) def Beerwah Bulldogs – 0 - (Nil - Tries) (Nil - Goals)

Local athlete reaching new heights Talented young athlete, Milli Sturrop, of Mt Mellum, has reached even greater heights in her quest for excellence in the tough and demanding field of discus throwing. Last month Milli threw another personal best of 40.19m, at an all-comers meet at the University of Queensland, which was enough to give her an official Athletics Australia ranking. Milli had only been back training not quite two weeks when she threw the impressive distance, which was 2.00m greater than the current Under 17 Australian champion. Well done Milli, and keep up the excellent work! AUGUST 18 2010 |
