Hi everyone On this week’s cover we have a lovely shot of local woodworker George Bentley with the amazing fire truck he created for the Beerwah Kindy.

Seated in the fire engine are little cuties Riley and Brooke Myres who recently unveiled this lovely gift for the Beerwah Kindy kids.

Last year the Myers children lost their dad, well known local Auxiliary Fire Officer – Aaron Myers in a car accident. Following the tragedy, mum Jenny, and the kids received so much kindness and support from the rest of the community and in particular from the Kindy families.

Knowing how our community operates, it doesn’t surprise me that the Myers family received plenty of support from others, and I am sure that people were happy to do want they could.

It is always hard to know what you can do to ease the pain of another and sometimes you feel as if your gesture is quite small, but combined it can certainly make a difference.

Jenny wanted to show her appreciation to the Kindy with a financial donation – the final result is certainly both a heartfelt gesture and a fitting tribute to her husband Aaron.

Regards,

Plumber Drainer Gasfitter

Young student’s brave campaign

She might only be seven-years-old, but it’s clear that Alannah McLeod has a heart and a conscience that belies her small size.

When Alannah, who attends Beerwah State School, recently learnt about the sad plight of the Mountain Gorilla from older students, she decided to do something about it, and set up a mobile phone recycling scheme.

“I am asking everyone to do both myself and the Mountain Gorillas a huge favour by bringing in your old mobile phones and putting them in the phone recycling boxes, which are located at the Beerwah Library, ANZ Bank Beerwah, Coochin Creek Co-op and the Beerwah Refuse Centre (recycle shop),” Alannah said.

“We may be able to save some, if not all of the gorillas’ habitat if you help.”

10% DISCOUNT FOR SENIORS & PENSION CARD HOLDERS EVERY WEDNESDAY

Garry Claridge, Greens candidate Garry was born in Nambour. He attended school there and Brisbane before joining the Army.

After a total of 20 years in the Army he left to begin an Information Technology consulting business, which he still manages today in Maleny.

Garry has completed study in systems analysis, mathematical modelling and economics. He has used these skills in developing models and simulations for community projects such as water-use proposals and feasibility studies.

He is keen to engage with the community on planning projects based around renewable energy production, effective public transport systems, affordable housing and local economies. Other community engagements include examining the possibility of extending health-care home services, with the view of keeping hospital stays shorter and people happier.

Other areas of concern for Garry, in respect to local application, are: • peri-urban food production and low-impact agriculture • protecting homes and families from the intrusion of large, and inappropriate, infrastructure projects • local long-term jobs • air, soil and water quality • environmental biodiversity • climate change mitigation and adaptation • social and economic justice • meaningful education • appropriate population levels He believes the Greens have a team capable of planning effective long-term solutions for sustainability of both the community and the environment.

Peter Slipper MP LNP Member for Fisher

Chris Cummins ALP Candidate for Fisher

Peter Slipper has been married to Inge for four years and has two grown children, Nick and Alex.

Peter originally hails from Ipswich and studied to become a solicitor, working also as a businessman and farmer. He was elected as a Liberal (now Liberal National Party) member in 1993 and at each election since then. He has held ministerial roles in Government, been a Committee Chairman and is now a Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Chris was first elected to the Caloundra City Council in 1997 where he delivered much needed public infrastructure and worked to keep council rates low.

In 2001 Chris was elected as the State Member for Kawana. It was during this time that he began to lobby intensively for a new Sunshine Coast Hospital. After extensive negotiations the State Government purchased a 20 hectare site to build the new Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

In 2004 Chris was elevated to the Queensland Cabinet as the Minister for Emergency Services where he delivered two record budgets that enabled significant infrastructure roll-outs across Queensland, including major improvements on the Sunshine Coast.

As a Cabinet Minister in the Beattie Government Chris achieved record road funding, including $777 million over five years, much of which we are still seeing delivered.

Chris is a member of numerous local sporting and community groups and lives in Kawana with his wife Donna, a local child care worker, and their son Daniel.

Chris identifies four main policy areas in Fisher that are his key focus; the economy, health, education and our environment.

It is imperative that the local economy is further diversified to create employment opportunities, both now and into the future. Our local economy has for too long been dependent on the vagaries of the tourism sector and policy settings need to better reflect our goal of attracting more light manufacturing and ‘green’ industry to our region.

The Fisher MP’s recent achievements include attracting funding to search for the World War Two hospital ship Centaur, and driving plans to scuttle the ex-HMAS Brisbane. The Centaur has since been found, with a plaque lowered to its resting place to honour the 268 victims. The ex-HMAS Brisbane is now a spectacular artificial reef that’s a major tourist attraction for the Sunshine Coast.

Closer to home, Peter’s determined campaigning has led to nearly $128,000 for Glasshouse Country Care and $800,000 for safety improvements at the Bells Creek and Roys Road intersections of the Bruce Highway. Many thousands of dollars have also been secured for community groups, including the Glasshouse Country Meals on Wheels and Glasshouse Mountains Landsborough RSL Sub-branch.

Peter’s also managed many smaller, but significant, achievements that haven’t attracted the media spotlight. Over the years, he has helped countless Fisher residents who’ve needed support and guidance on issues such as immigration,

child support and pensions.

Australian Greens lead Senate candidate for Queensland, Larissa Waters, launched the party’s renewable energy policy last week.

“The Greens want to make it easy and profitable for households to generate their own clean energy, such as from rooftop solar panels,” said Ms Waters, an environmental lawyer.

“The Greens have proposed a national gross feed-in tariff for renewable energy so that householders, farmers and small businesses can be paid a fair price for the clean energy they generate.

“The cost of solar is still a barrier to most households, but with a guaranteed high rate of return from the energy generated, the capital cost of installing solar panels could be paid off more quickly. People could then start to make money from generating clean energy – a win/win for the environment and for household budgets.

“At the moment Queensland has net feed-in tariff, meaning householders only get paid for the energy they generate in excess of the energy they consume. With most small solar systems, there is no profit margin and so no incentive for households to outlay the upfront cost to install solar panels.

“The Greens want to see a nation-wide consistent approach which sets a fair price to make it easier and more profitable for households to generate their own clean energy.

“Our policy would apply to all forms of renewable energy, and to households, farmers, businesses and large scale investors. Having a guaranteed fair price for all renewable energy generated would give the certainty needed to help drive investment in solar, wind turbines and any other renewable energy technology,” said Ms Waters.

Many countries around the world have introduced feed-in tariffs and seen their renewable energy supply boom, creating jobs and investment and reducing greenhouse emissions.

“The Greens plan for a national feed-in tariff would create jobs in manufacturing and installation for Queenslanders, and would help reduce carbon pollution that is threatening the 63,000 jobs that rely on a healthy Great Barrier Reef, which is at risk from climate change.

“People want to be part of the solution to climate change and the Greens want to help them do it.

“As the first Greens Senator for Queensland my top priority will be to act on climate change to protect our Reef and generate tens of thousands of new clean energy jobs for Queenslanders,” said Ms Waters.

SEQ Mayors’ ‘Magnificent 7’ infrastructure campaign Commonwealth funding to expand the Sunshine Coast Airport is one of seven major infrastructure commitments local residents should listen out for in the lead up to this year’s Federal Election, according to SEQ Mayors.

Sunshine Coast Mayor Bob Abbot said Canberra bureaucrats and decision makers needed to recognise the Sunshine Coast was more than just a holiday destination.

Cr Abbot said South East Queensland, especially the Sunshine Coast, should not be expected to continue absorbing record population growth without a significant Commonwealth investment in the sort of infrastructure that will increase productivity and create jobs.

“Population growth is a major driver of infrastructure spending. The Commonwealth needs to invest a lot more in infrastructure to protect and maintain the quality of life and economic opportunities in high growth regions,” he said.

Cr Abbot said more than 323,000 people were already living on the Sunshine Coast last year and there would be more people living and working here than in the ACT within five years.

“Anyone who wants to represent the Sunshine Coast region in Canberra should understand that both regions have about the same population with about the same infrastructure needs. We just want a fair go – a better deal,” he said.

“Whatever colour the next Federal Government is, it needs to put more of the tax revenue it takes from Sunshine Coast residents and businesses into building the sort of infrastructure that will grow our local economy.”

Cr Abbot said the SEQ Regional Plan made it very clear that there was a real need to promote employment growth and diversification on the Sunshine Coast to avoid future problems with unemployment.

The SEQRP states, ‘the Sunshine Coast seeks a diversified, viable, interdependent and self-sufficient urban and rural economic base that maximises local job creation and employment options, and builds economic strength and resilience’.

New fire engine for Beerwah Kindy

Last Thursday Beerwah and District Kindergarten Association Inc became the proud new owners of a delightful red fire engine, much to the delight of the kindy kids. The fire engine was built by George Bentley with funds donated

by Jenny Myers, who sadly lost her fire fighter husband Aaron Myers in a tragic car accident last year.

Riley and Brooke Myers Jenny, whose children Riley and Brooke attended the Kindergarten in previous years, decided to donate the money as a way to say thank you.

“They were so understanding when Aaron died. And everybody cooked for me, made me heaps of meals, and helped me out with the fees. It was my contribution at the end of the year to help them back. The whole community has been good; I’ve had so much support from everyone.”

She was thrilled with the fire engine. “He’s done a good job,” she said.

When George, a carpenter for over 50 years, was asked to make the fire engine he was happy to help.

“It was something different than making furniture,” he said. What makes George’s effort even more remarkable is the fact that while doing the project he was undergoing dialysis and ended up with blood poisoning.

George nearly died, yet amazingly he finished the job in just one month.

Needless to say he was happy to be at the unveiling of the fire engine.

“It’s very satisfying,” he said.

Beerwah and District Kindergarten acknowledged not only Jenny and George but also Shane Bentley, who painted the fire engine, Sally Bennett from Trophies Won for her generosity with the plaques and Mark Becker for the fire hose. see page 26 for more photos

Leanne, Brad and Jonathon Montgomery with 16-year-old Luca from Italy It’s fair to say that the local Montgomery family has a passion for travel and knowledge about the world. So when they aren’t travelling, they do the next best thing, and host an international traveller. But their guests aren’t your everyday kind – they are international students who are just as keen to learn more about our part of the world.

Early last month, Brad, Leanne and eight-year-old Jonathon Montgomery welcomed 16-year-old Luca to their home as part of a six month exchange program hosted through WEP (World Education Program).

Luca, from Italy, is attending Glasshouse Country Christian College during his exchange, and reveling in every opportunity to learn more about our country.

The talented young soccer player, who has a contract with an Italian club, says he is keen to go surfing, and visit Australia Zoo to feed the kangaroos and cuddle a koala.

Brad and his family, who have previously hosted a Japanese student, said the opportunity to host an international exchange student had plenty of positives.

“As a family we love to learn about and experience different cultures, and by hosting a student, this gives them a similar experience,” Brad said.

So what does Brad and his family have planned for Luca?

“Because he’s contracted to a club in Italy, he can’t play soccer while here in Australia, but he is allowed to train, so twice a week we’re travelling to Caloundra so he can train with a team there.

“We’re also looking forward to taking him along to some of our local attractions, like Australia Zoo, so he can experience some of his favourite aspects of our culture.”

As part of his visit, Luca will also travel to Alice Springs and Ayers Rock with other exchange students next month.

Luca is attending Glasshouse Country Christian College, along with another exchange student from Brazil. A third student, from France has just recently returned home after a brief visit.

Glasshouse Country Christian College spokesperson Lin Smith said the community has warmly embraced the students.

“The students are participating fully in classes to advance their English skills, though the same academic expectations have not been placed on them as for other GCCC students. The students have found the College students friendly and helpful, and GCCC wishes them well as they spend time in Beerwah,” Lin said.

If you are interested in hosting an international student, visit WEP’s website at www.wep.org.au or phone 1300 884 733.

Got any suggestions of must-see local attractions or ideas for activities to give Luca a truly unique, Glasshouse Country experience?

Beerwah High pays tribute to Australia Zoo

Cindy Reader, Student Liaison Officer Beerwah High School, Glenn McIntosh, Deputy Beerwah High School, Jess Brown and Sandy Whitehead from Australia Zoo and Jeff Hennessey, Principal Beerwah High School

On Saturday, July 24 at the Caloundra RSL the Queensland Training Awards evening was held to recognise and reward the outstanding achievements of individuals and organisations within the vocational education and training sector who strive for excellence, best practice and innovation. Now in their 49th year, the awards continue to showcase and highlight the significant contribution made by Queensland’s vocational education and training sector to the wider Queensland community and economy. Seven categories are initially contested across seven regional areas, including South East and North Coast (Sunshine Coast to Gympie area).

Beerwah State High School nominated Australia Zoo for the category of Employer of the Year for outstanding achievement in the area of vocational education and training by a Queensland business with 20 or more staff.

Australia Zoo has grown and developed relationships with Beerwah State High School to undertake the school-based traineeship program with its students. The traineeship program has mainly focused on Certificate 2 in Tourism, Horticulture, Business and Retail.

Australia Zoo was successful on the night by taking out this prestigious award and will now compete for the state title in Brisbane on September 10. Well done to Australia Zoo, Beerwah High School students and also to the Beerwah community for their on-going support.

New faces, welcoming smiles and sizzling sausages at College Open Day July at GCCC has been a busy month filled with fresh new faces and rejuvenated familiar ones. As school was ready to return for term three the College held its annual Open Day, where I was part of a team of student tour guides showing members of the community around our ever-growing school.

Getting creative in the Visual Art Department

Many families commented on the ‘classiness’ of our classrooms and other facilities and were impressed by the friendly, welcoming community feel; while others were amazed at how large the College had grown over its 10 years.

There was a lot to do and see with hands-on activities throughout the day and a free sausage sizzle.

The College’s Open Day is only the first in a string of exciting events occurring over the next few months. The students are all pumped about our Funfest coming up on Saturday, August 7 and I can’t wait to see what happens as part of our 10 Year Celebrations that are right around the corner on Friday, October 25.

Tongan travellers return ‘Malo e lelei,’ they called out, flaunting their new-found language skills as they emerged from the airport. The Tongan travellers from Unity College had returned with many stories to tell of their adventures in the Pacific.

This is the second trip that students from Unity College in Caloundra have made to visit their twinning school, Peteli Middle School, in Pea village, near Nuku’alofa in the Kingdom of Tonga.

They arrived in the middle of the night to a welcome fit for a king: special garlands of flowers for each visitor and a huge banner with ‘Welcome to Tonga’ emblazoned on it. The lateness of the hour (the plane was delayed and arrived at 2.00am!) didn’t deter the students from the village and excitement ran high.

The warmth of the welcome was a taste of the flavour of the whole visit.

The Tongan families took the Unity students into their hearts and gave them an unforgettable experience. There were demonstrations of the Tongan traditional crafts of weaving and tapa making, sightseeing excursions, picnics on the beach, feasts, celebrations and cultural dancing.

Gifts abounded – the Tongan generosity is amazing.

“They said that this mat is worn by nobles – and they gave it to me!”

Ellen Brodrick said.

In return, the students from Unity were able to give the school gifts of educational materials and money to use to purchase things not included in their limited school budget which will help the Tongan students learn.

The whole experience was life-changing for the students: they saw how people of a very different culture live and experienced first hand their warmth, generosity, their sense of family and the depth of the Christian faith on which their lives are based.

Students are already lining up to register for the next trip.

Shifting into action

Earlier this year we brought you the story of rising young star Daniel George, an aspiring actor who is certain to soon hit the big time.

Last month, we caught up with Daniel, on the eve of shooting a further two episodes for Shifters, which has caught the eye of a commercial television network.

And although Daniel can’t say just which network is in serious contention for the series, chances are it won’t be long before filming goes into overdrive.

And it looks like Daniel won’t have too far to travel, with one of the two upcoming episodes to be filmed at an undisclosed location in Beerwah this month.

Although Daniel has not yet been informed of where the shoot will happen, he has hinted the next two episodes are going to be bigger and better.

“I’ve started stunt training already,” an excited Daniel said.

Again, without giving too much away, all Daniel could say is that he is training with real swords.

And when he’s not swash-buckling, Daniel has also been busy penning his first web series, Levasque, a 394 page script that he is hoping to enter into next year’s Streamy Awards, for excellence in web television.

Daniel believes his script, which tells the story of the downfall of an up and coming young tennis player who is about to make it big, is good enough to enter the competition; he just needs the funds to produce it.

“At NIDA (the National Institute of Dramatic Art), we were always told to do our own thing (while waiting for acting roles), and I have always loved writing, it’s a great outlet for my creative talent,” Daniel said.

“It’s been a real challenge to put it together, and I am really excited about getting it out there.”

With Shifters about to hit our screens, it looks like it won’t be long before we start hearing even more of this talented young actor. Watch this space as we keep you posted on Daniel’s rising star.

Budding directors, producers or prospective film financiers are encouraged to contact us here at GCNews if you would like to get in touch with Daniel about his new web series.

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.

Adrian’s life-saving mission Recently in Brisbane, a television started a fire in the upstairs area of a home. It was 10.00am in the morning and the residents downstairs were awake and going about their usual business. When one of the members of the family went upstairs Adrian Butler he saw the whole of the top floor totally engulfed in fire. He screamed for everyone to get out of the house and everyone escaped. While they were huddled together outside watching their house burn they finally heard the smoke alarms in their house go off. Why did the smoke alarms take so long to sound their warning?

Because they were the WRONG type of smoke alarms.

For the past 10 years Adrian Butler from the World Fire Safety Foundation has been trying to warn people that by using ionization smoke alarms instead of photoelectric smoke alarms

they are putting their lives and those of their family at risk.

As part of his ongoing campaign to alert people to the danger a new documentary has been released. ‘Stop the Children Burning’ is a documentary by locally based film maker, Peter Enright, in collaboration with the World Fire Safety Foundation, exposing the truth about the fire alarms most of us have in our homes.

“People are petrified of the truth coming out.

Most homes still have ionization smoke alarms in them and the Government’s own testing proves they’re not safe.

“Standards Australia even rewrote the standard to ban them. But it’s being held up by bureaucracy and their revised standard hasn’t been adopted into legislation. The message about it keeps getting buried,” Adrian said.

The Australasian Fire and Emergency Service Authorities Council (AFAC) is the peak representative body for all Australian and New Zealand Fire Brigades. In June 2006 AFAC released their landmark, official position statement on smoke alarms for all Australian and New Zealand homes.

The official position states: “That all residential accommodation be fitted with PHOTOELECTRIC smoke alarms...... ionization smoke alarms may not operate in time to alert occupants early enough to escape from smoldering fires.”

While Adrian is frustrated about the long time it is taking for the message to get out to families, he says even small steps forward, such as this reporter changing to Photoelectric smoke alarms last year is satisfying, as all he wants to do is save lives.

“Yes, when people like you take the time to be proactive and swap over to the safer technology we definitely are very happy, as this is what it is all about. What we’re hoping will happen is the public will become aware and once they know, it’s almost 100 per cent that people will go and get the right alarm.”

Local business welcomes breastfeeding mums Landsborough business Madhatters Tea and Gifts was recently presented with a ‘Breastfeeding Welcome Here’ pack by the Sunshine Coast group of the Australian Breastfeeding Association.

Trainee breastfeeding counsellor Kathy Osborne, with son Jonah, presents manager Sue Healey of Madhatters Tea and Gifts with a Breastfeeding Welcome Here pack

Local volunteers from the Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) have been working together with Breastfeeding Promotion Sunshine Coast to help more mums feel confident about breastfeeding their babies in public, even though their right to do so is protected by law. One way this is being done is by acknowledging breastfeeding-friendly venues with the ABA’s Breastfeeding Welcome Here packs.

A venue qualifies as breastfeeding friendly if staff members have a positive and welcoming attitude, the venue is non-smoking and there is room to move a pram. Businesses can also be registered on the ABA's website.

Two other Landsborough food venues that have recently joined the scheme are 3 Divas Café and Country Kitchen Landsborough.

With World Breastfeeding Week being celebrated in the first week of August, ABA (Sunshine Coast) and Breastfeeding Promotion Sunshine Coast are well on the way to their goal of registering 20 breastfeedingfriendly venues.

A range of venues is being sought – including libraries, public pools, schools, cafes and medical practices. Businesses interested in being registered for a Breastfeeding Welcome Here kit can contact Lynne on 5491 9957 or lynneb@dss.com.au The ABA supports breastfeeding mothers with its 24-hour toll-free National Breastfeeding Helpline, 1800 mum 2 mum (1800 686 2 686) and website at www.breastfeeding.asn.au In the local area, Beerwah Library will feature a display for World Breastfeeding Week.

Travelling Tales

Proudly sponsored by

with Bradley, Leanne and Jonathon Montgomery of Beerwah Our great six week adventure holiday started on July 4, 2009 when we landed in LA. After disembarking from our grueling 13 hour flight in coach (cattle class) and waiting nearly an hour at the baggage carousel for our last piece of luggage, it was obvious it got lost.

Luckily our eight-year-old son noticed a glowing red piece of ribbon dangling on another passenger’s luggage trolley about 100 metres along the corridor, making its way for the exit! The offending lady claimed it was a huge mistake, we were just so glad our son spotted the ribbons we put on all of our luggage for easier identification.

As this stop was only a stopover were finally able to board our connecting flight to JFK airport in NYC. Preparing for landing the pilot told the passengers to take a peek out of their windows to see the night sky lit with fireworks for the July 4 celebrations.

We picked up our hire car from Jamaica in NY and not knowing any of the road rules in the USA I drove out of the car park and immediately went the wrong way into a roundabout. Argh!

Headed straight into the AVIS car park and then tried to reverse out however there was a car behind us, luckily enough because there were spikes in the road stopping us, if we had reversed we would have blown all four tyres and had a huge wait to get going on our holiday.

After our first night in Long Island City we caught the Path train into 34th St Penn Station.

The centre of NYC. WOW. What an amazing sight. We did the three day bus tour all through

Beerwah Travel

NYC and got some great shots of ground zero, now being reconstructed into the Freedom Towers and also some great shots of Wall St, Trump towers, Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Empire State Building etc. We ate plenty of Taco Bell, Wendy`s, Burger King, Buffalo Wild Wings and more.

After about a week in NYC we drove on down through Pennsylvania and Philadelphia to get to Washington DC, the capital of America to see the White House, also the Edgar Hoover Smithsonian National Air and Space museum and got some great shots of the retired Space Shuttle Enterprise.

We also had time to visit the National Museum of Crime and Punishment and saw Bonny and Clyde’s car. Then after a week in D.C. we drove back up to NYC for another week exploring the beautiful city, we boarded a huge retired warship the USS Intrepid which is docked on the Hudson river. We also got on board the Concorde and a nuclear submarine.

We then drove half way up to Canada and stayed a night in a lovely Motel in Binghamton which is smack bang half way (about a three hour drive).

Then we arrived at Niagara Falls NY. What a breathtaking place that is. Huge tourist strip overhanging the falls. So many things to see and do, we extended our stay there to 10 days instead of the five that we had planned.

So many people recommended to check out The

The Montgomery Family outside the White House Falls from the USA side however we found it much better on the Canada side so we stayed in Ontario Canada and visited the Falls from both sides again and again.

Staying longer in Canada than we had planned meant we cancelled our plans to go through Boston on the way back to NYC, but back in NY we still had plenty to see and do, like go to Bronx Zoo, Staten Island Zoo, man oh my these guys have not seen a Zoo until they have seen the Australia Zoo, and we told them all about it, don’t you worry. They are all like, yeah wow, Steve Irwin, what a man, wow, wow, wow.

So you are from Australia, so you play cricket?

Everyone thinks all we do is play cricket.

Now we can’t wait until we return to the US to spend two months on the West Coast so we can go to places like Disneyland, Universal Studios, Alcatraz, Las Vegas, and do some driving into Texas, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona etc.

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.

The heartache and emotional turmoil of infertility affects more and more couples every year. Many couples are aware of no other option other than conventional medicine and consequently have a treatment program that consists of drugs and surgery. However, in this society where health care is shifting from pain and drugs to health and wellness, countless others are calling out for a holistic, natural approach for the treatment of infertility. So what kind of solution can chiropractic offer?

The chiropractic approach to fertility is the same approach that has encouraged so many to adopt the chiropractic lifestyle; a focus on whole body wellness.

Chiropractic care is not based on treating symptoms or conditions such as infertility. Chiropractors focus on detecting and correcting misaligned spinal bones (subluxations), which may interfere with the communication between the brain and the body. When this interference is corrected, the body is able to function properly. This includes proper functioning of the reproductive system.

Subluxations have far reaching affects on numerous glands and organs that directly contribute to a healthy reproductive system. Spinal movement contributes to the proper flow of the fluid surrounding your brain and spine (CSF). Restrictions in CSF flow may impact the glands in the brain that are responsible for producing reproductive harmones such as FSH and LH. Additionally, there is a strong connection between the spinal level of the subluxation and the organs supplied by the nerves at that level. The nerves that supply your reproductive organs exit the spine in the lower back region.

Although subluxations often cause little or no discomfort, couples experiencing infertility and low back pain would be well advised to consult a chiropractor.

Chiropractors’ main focus is allowing the body to function at its fullest potential by removing subluxations. When the body is healthy, great things can happen!

With any farm crop, there’s always going to be waste, but the Sunshine Coasts largest strawberry farm in Beerwah, Gowinta Farms, is sadly being forced to dump up to two tonnes of strawberries a day due to wet weather.

The local strawberry producer has had a great start to the season with minimal waste, however four days of rain is keeping up to two to three tonne a day or $24,000 worth of produce off supermarket shelves.

“We still have to pick the fruit, otherwise it just turns to mush on the bush, so we’re paying for the crop to be picked regardless of whether it’s good or bad,” said owner Leonard Smith.

While steady rainfall will better position strawberry growers across the South East in August, unpicked ripened fruit has seen a large number of blistering, skin turning soft and in some crops, cracking around the calyx which is the end of the strawberry with the green leaf.

None of which are good for first grade produce.

Sadly the fruit can’t even be sold to jamming companies due to the expense of hand cutting off leaf and freezing, all for just $1.00 a kg.

Leonard is currently looking at establishing his own jam brand to put the berries to use.

“I’m on the search for the best tasting strawberry jam recipe so we can get this idea off the ground – I’m tired of seeing the waste.”

Leonard says he’s even prepared to give people jamming strawberries to make a sample for him to try. Those interested in presenting their jam for Gowinta Farms to taste test should contact the office on 5494 0365.

ATO’s data matching program focusing on online selling sites

Car service serves up a sure fire barbie hit!

The ATO is launching a data matching program focusing on individuals and businesses who have sold more than $20,000 in goods and services on the online selling sites, eBay and The Trading Post in any of the last three financial years.

If you are running a business through online selling sites, or you have an existing business and are making additional sales through these sites, then you need to include this income in your activity statement and/or tax return.

The data match will detect businesses that are under reporting or not reporting income generated from these sources.

Tax Commissioner Michael D’Ascenzo is encouraging anyone who has understated their taxable income in the last three years to make a voluntary disclosure.

“If you do so you will be treated fairly and benefit from significantly lower penalties. You can make a voluntary disclosure on this or any other matter by writing to the ATO – more details are available on the ATO website,” Mr D’Ascenzo said.

Tax Commissioner Michael D’Ascenzo said the data matching program helps to ensure that there is a level playing field and that businesses doing the right thing are not disadvantaged.

All the data collected is in accordance with the Federal Privacy Commissioner’s guidelines on data matching in Commonwealth administration, with taxpayers confidentiality protected at all times.

Congratulations to Jeff and Kyra Berry who are now the proud owners of a brand new barbeque thanks to Beerwah Mechanical.

Council news Tourism grants for Sunshine Coast Council

Sunshine Coast Council will receive $225,000 in State government funding for two projects to improve its tourism credentials, Tourism Minister Peter Lawlor said.

Minister Lawlor said the first grant of $125,000 would go to the Sunshine Coast Council to lead a project to continue its work with local tourism groups to merge into a single destination management organisation for the region.

"The funding is part of the Queensland Tourism Network Grant Scheme, administered by Tourism Queensland, and will be used by the Council to assist in bedding down the new Sunshine Coast Destination Management organisation a consolidation of Tourism Noosa, Caloundra Tourism, Maroochy Tourism Industry Advisory Board and the now-defunct Tourism Sunshine Coast," he said.

"The Sunshine Coast's tourism bodies have recognised the need to pool their resources under a single umbrella to promote the region and over the past 12 months have done a fantastic job in working to make this happen.

"They have led the way in what has been a challenging process and this funding will go towards helping the new entity get up and running and is a tribute to their combined passion and commitment for tourism in the region."

Mr Lawlor said a further $100,000 in grant money had been awarded to the Council to assist the new tourism body - Sunshine Coast Destination Ltd - in establishing a new ‘brand family’ for the Sunshine Coast region's four sub-regions - Noosa, Caloundra, Maroochy and Hinterland.

"While Sunshine Coast Destination Ltd will operate as a single entity, it's important that the Sunshine Coast's tourism regions retain their own identity and the character that makes them unique," he said.

"This project will help the new organisation work towards developing sub-brands for these regions that work in harmony with the greater Sunshine Coast brand."

Mission Watoto

Contributed by Eunice Prickett On Sunday, July 25 a Mission Soup Sunday was held at the Mary MacKillop Centre where members from the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches gathered to enjoy delicious soups and dessert. Prior to the meal, a DVD was shown about the Leprosy Mission and Bush Church Aid and its involvement in ministry at Lightning Ridge. Julie Gaughan spoke about the work Mission Watoto Australia carries out in Uganda and those present learnt how groups from Australia travel to Uganda to help build schools, hospitals, childcare centres and houses which accommodate orphan children. Julie was presented with a monetary donation of over $300.00, plus 36 ‘Snuggle – Rugs’ ranging in sizes from cot to bed,

baby singlets, bibs, knitted teddy bears and books which will be delivered by future groups visiting Uganda to assist with ongoing projects. A most enjoyable and informative morning was had by all present. For more detailed information about this worthy cause ph: 0427 952 721 or check websites: www.watoto.com, www.thatslife.cc

The club meets every second Wednesday at the Glasshouse Mountains Sports Club, at 10.00am. All members and visitors are very welcome. Members are asked to bring along a small plate of food to share for lunch. Morning tea / coffee is provided.

At every meeting we have a guest speaker. This month our guest speaker will be Greville Easte of ShelterBox, who will talk about the International disaster relief charity that delivers emergency shelter, warmth and dignity to people affected by disaster worldwide.

In September our guest speaker will be Patrick Picket CEO of the Qld Symphony Orchestra who will talk to us about the orchestra and its aspirations for the future.

Our outing for August will be a visit to the Maleny Mountain Winery for lunch and optional wine tasting.

Probus is an association of retirees who join together, for the purpose of providing regular opportunities to keep their minds active, expand

their interests and to enjoy the fellowship of new friends. We also have regular outings and coffee and chat mornings to enable members to get to know one another. Probus also has a sub-group for those interested in playing Mah-jong. We are currently looking for a Tai Chi instructor to enable our group to continue their weekly exercise. So if there is anybody willing to help us, we would love to hear from you.

Some 26 members enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Landsborough Pub for Christmas in July. Also, several members attended the Friendship Day organised by the Probus Clubs of the Sunshine Coast held at the Indoor Sports Stadium, Caloundra.

A fantastic day of entertainment and lunch was enjoyed by all who attended. Special thoughts are with our members who are not well at the moment and we wish them a speedy recovery.

Beerwah Lions

Contributed by Una Robinson

Special international visitor - Beerwah Lions have been honoured to host the immediate past president Lion Jean Knaggs of their Twin Club in Cape Town, South Africa. Jean recently received the highest president award out of the 54 clubs in her South African Lions District.

Twinning with another country’s club helps create and foster a spirit of understanding among people of the world; this is the Lions International’s very first objective.

Lion Jean attended a specially organised Lion breakfast with a special tour courtesy of owner Leonard Smith at Gowinta Farms venue on Sunday, July 25. There were 34 in the Lions group and an enjoyable and very informative morning was enjoyed by all plus some taste testing of delicious freshly picked strawberries.

Lion Jean has toured around the hinterland and loves the Glasshouse Country area. She even tested the good old Aussie pie with gravy and mushy peas and was delighted to observe wild kangaroos in their natural habitat.

She is very aware of the freedom in this country when compared with South Africa.

In South Africa it is illegal to run raffles or gambling activities but other activities are run by the Lions Club in aged homes, and baby pamper packages are prepared for the babies from shanty towns where there is no income and life is very hard. Lions there work hard to help in their communities whilst under many known safety risks. These Lions meet in the daytime because of risks when out at night.

Lion Jean presented President Ken Loveday and Una Robinson and Steve Rose her hosts with specially struck Sydney 2010 Convention Lions badges honouring the four Peace Laureats of her Lions Multiple District 410 in South Africa. They are: 1961, Albert Lutuli; 1984, Desmond Tutu; 1993, Nelson Mandela and 1993 F W De Klerk. Likewise President Ken presented Lion Jean with our own Lions Districts District Governors badges for herself and her club.

Personality quest - Beerwah Lions is very pleased to announce that Coral Manson from Beerburrum is the club entrant in the Lions Medical Research Personality Quest this year. Lions Researchers such as Professor Frazer save lives with their findings so please support the events and functions that Coral’s team will be running.

Barbeque trailer - Does your group need help fundraising? Lions have a barbeque trailer available and are willing to help your group by cooking your sausages, steaks etc at no charge to you; this is part of Beerwah Lions Community Service. Please contact the secretary on 5494 8896 to book for your event.

From Peter Slipper

From Mark McArdle

Federal member for Fisher. Ph: 1300 301 981 or 5443 3555

State member for Caloundra. Ph: 5491 2780

Birthday girl Bindi

It felt like I had entered another world when I recently helped celebrate the birthday of a great ambassador for Fisher. I was honoured to be invited to Bindi Irwin’s party at Australia Zoo. The VIP event was far removed and a refreshing break from the election campaign trail. I got to walk the pink carpet alongside the likes of Scooby Doo, taste a piece of Bindi’s ‘Hollywood’ cake and see the launch of her first feature film.

It’s hard to believe Bindi has only just turned 12. This Wildlife Warrior has already done so much for our region’s biggest tourist attraction, and animal conservation, and she demonstrates charm and wisdom beyond her years. Congratulations to her parents Terri and the late Steve Irwin on a job well done.

Campaign in full swing

I’m cutting to the chase for Augusts’ Federal Election by announcing four pledges in four weeks. I believe this is a clear and concise way of reaching voters, as they try to decipher the many political messages that are flooding the media at the moment.

All pledges will relate directly to the key issues on the Sunshine Coast.

My first pledge is to continue to vigorously push the Federal and State Governments for more infrastructure to cope with our growing population.

This includes upgrading the Bruce Highway and building a new hospital.

The other pledges will be announced in coming weeks.

Fishing fears

Representatives from an important local industry have finally had a chance to be heard. Senator Richard Colbeck and I met with fishing boat operators who are worried potential new restrictions to their fishing grounds will make it harder for them to make ends meet. This should be a concern to everyone on the Sunshine Coast. Fishing provides lots of employment and is important to the economy.

The operators feel like they have not been adequately consulted by the Federal Government. We assured them a Liberal National Government will give the issue the consideration it needs and deserves.

Go for it kids – its carnival time

IT’S carnival time - but we’re not talking about the annual district shows. While they are certainly an attraction for our region, the children of Caloundra and beyond are gearing up for their own school athletic carnivals and that’s a good thing too.

Not only do they get the youngsters up and about and mixing with each other at different levels, they also contribute to fitness and well-being and in my role as Shadow Health Minister that is something which interests me greatly.

Just putting on my health hat for a moment, it’s a fact that endurance is developed when children regularly engage in aerobic activity.

During aerobic exercise the heart beats faster and a person breathes harder.

When done regularly and for continuous periods of time, aerobic activity strengthens the heart and improves the body’s ability to deliver oxygen to all its cells.

Besides enjoying health benefits of regular exercise, children who are physically fit sleep better and are better able to handle physical and emotional challenges.

But crucial as that is, carnivals are also a lot of fun for children and having fun is equally important.

They allow children to develop another side of their personality and provide an opportunity for some to shine on the sporting field.

Some children are naturally bright academically while others bring their personality to the fore in physical activity. A combination of the classroom and the carnival recognises both areas of excellence and puts children on an equal footing.

Apart from health benefits, the joy of teamwork and competing with and for your mates is a great foundation block when building to adulthood.

It’s great to see parents attending school carnivals, too. Interaction between parents and schools can only be of benefit to both – and this is something I see regularly during the visits to schools in the region.

By the time this article is published I will have already enjoyed the carnival day at the Beerwah State School and I hope to see more of our great youngsters in action over the next few weeks.

Replacement Shelter for Parrot Park

Pensioner eligibility clarification

Earlier this year, I received a number of requests to replace the rather sad looking shelter in Parrot Park, Beerburrum.

The option of refurbishing the existing shelter has been explored, however due to its condition; the shelter will be replaced with a new one.

The new 4 metre x 4 metre shelter will incorporate a table and seating combination and works are programmed to start in the coming months.

Healthy septic audit

From August 2 until the end of September, Council’s Plumbing Services Department will be commencing the septic audit program in the Glass House Mountains and Beerburrum areas. Residents affected will be contacted by mail and requested to contact Plumbing Services in order to arrange an inspection of their on-site facility, at a mutually convenient time.

In response to a Landsborough resident’s query about council’s role in determining pensioner’s eligibility, I’d like to make the following clarification: When signing a pensioner application form, the applicant agrees to authorise council to confirm with either Centrelink or the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, information contained in our records, necessary to determine eligibility for the pensioner rate subsidy scheme.

The info is not used for any other purpose. It merely allows council to ascertain whether the applicant is an eligible pensioner as per council’s revenue statement 2010/11. Council is authorised to collect this information in accordance with the Local Government Act 2009. Pensioner eligibility checks are carried out prior to each rate run.

Mary Valley Scarecrow Festival 2010

It’s that time again - time for the annual Mary Valley Scarecrow Festival.

I encourage residents to take part in this fun and free event by building a scarecrow. Scarecrow building workshops are being held over two weekends in August, with all entries to be submitted by August 14.

Workshops will teach how to build a scarecrow with wooden pieces to make a skeleton, a pumpkin or hessian bag for a head, and straw stuffed inside a shirt for the body. The main event, announcing the winners will be held at 2.30pm on September 25. To find out more, contact Kenilworth Info Centre on 5446 0122.

RADF Grants Program

Council’s September grants round opened to local artists and cultural groups last week, with a total of $177,000 available to successful Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) applicants. I strongly urge creative types in the community to take advantage of this opportunity, and apply for funds for their special projects. To learn more about the RADF application process – which for the first time is available online – attend a free information session or application clinic.

‘Why not’ did it

We did it! My 1966 HR Holden, my navigator and I have just completed the 2010 Great Endeavour Rally. It was a great experience as well as a challenge. Our team ‘Why Not’ managed to complete the 10 day rally without a hitch. We travelled from Burleigh to Bargara, over 3,500 kilometres, driving through forestry tracks, bush tracks and places where there seemed to be no tracks at all – great fun!

We were the oldest car on the rally and I took it steady. Some of the younger cars ended up with various mechanical problems, the majority of which were fixed by willing hands either on the side of the track or at our overnight stops.

We visited the Endeavour workshops at Burleigh, Toowoomba and Bundaberg and it was a delight to meet the clients that we are raising funds for and to witness firsthand the wonderful jobs they are doing and the life experiences they are gaining. Everyone came away with a sense of pride that each of us has raised funds to help these wonderful people. This year’s rally participants raised over $330,000.

To my sponsors, supporters, family and friends I give my heartfelt thanks for helping me achieve my goal of raising funds for the Endeavour Foundation. Without your help the Foundation would not survive.

Missing Persons Week

Everyday somewhere in the world families are torn apart without a second’s notice, by war, armed conflict and disaster. For some, as they run for their lives without a moment to look back, it is the last time they will be with the people they love most; for the fortunate ones, perhaps decades later, they will meet again.

August marks Missing Persons Week (August 1 - 7), a reminder of the hundreds of thousands of people who are right now searching for missing loved ones. August 30 is another significant day for the world’s missing, International Day of the Disappeared.

Australian Red Cross International Tracing Service works to uncover the fate of the missing and attempts to reconnect families. Tracing, which uses Red Cross contacts and resources in more than 180 countries, works to restore links between families who have been ripped apart by armed conflict, war and disaster. Red Cross mandate of neutrality and impartiality helps Tracing caseworkers access information in even the most difficult circumstances.

We hear heartbreaking stories from people who have fled war-ravaged countries, where children have been taken from their parents at gunpoint and husbands have disappeared on their way to work.

The distress of separation and the uncertainty of not knowing if your loved ones are even alive can be devastating and debilitating. Separated families can suffer feelings of grief, isolation and helplessness.

Tracing provides comfort to broken-hearted parents and children, and a flicker of hope for reunification. About two-thirds of our cases are resolved – over the past 12 months we re-established contact for 198 families – though sadly the news is not always good. There are many more missing out there.

Currently we are working with around 1,000 people searching for almost 4,000 relatives scattered in countries all over the world. Our searches and our clients reflect the unrest and instability around the world, today and historically.

Among our case files in Australia over the past 12 months most people were searching for missing relatives in Sri Lanka, Kenya, Afghanistan, Poland and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Most of the inquiries we had from overseas concerned people searching for relatives who came to Australia as a result of WWII, from countries including Hungary, Croatia and Ukraine.

Everyday our caseworkers across Australia, with Red Cross staff around the world, continue the search for the missing. You can help support work reconnecting families separated by war, conflict or disaster by making a donation to Australian Red Cross. For more information visit www. redcross.org.au or call 1800 811 700.

The Red Flag

Enthusiasm for the motor car has long been with us.

However today’s family car is a far cry from that of yesteryear. For most of us, including family historians, we think about the cars that we have owned with some kind of reverence.

Then there are those folk who keep the veterans going, seemingly forever, Veteran Car in Brighton nearing the end of the while the rest of us drool London to Brighton Veteran Car Run in 2005. Photo over their magnificence

by Andrew Dunn. and wonder at the dedication of those who spend hours restoring them to their former glory. The cars themselves have stories to tell.

One such story is ongoing. And that is the story of the red flag which is symbolically torn apart on the first Sunday in November each year at the start of the London to Brighton Veterans Car Run. This event marks the day when the law which prevented motorists from driving any faster than four miles per hour, (two in the town) led by a man bearing a red flag, was repealed. An absurd law! Perhaps not. For these smelly, hissing metal creatures were apt to frighten the horses which had, up until this time, been the main form of transport, and as such, were not about to be outmoded.

It was the Honourable Evelyn Ellis, whose interests lay in developing the motor-car industry in Britain, who took a stand. In 1895 he purchased a Daimler powered motor car in Paris, bringing it across the channel then by train to Micheldever Station in Hampshire. From there he drove it to Datchet, flouting the ‘red flag’ law. He never was stopped by police but in 1896 the law was repealed and celebrated by the first ‘Brighton Run’ when the speed limit was raised from four to 14 miles an hour.

Beerwah Family History Group meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month at Beerwah Library. Come and share your stories.

The ATO’s free Tax Help program is back for another year, offering assistance to low income earners to complete their tax returns.

Tax Help is a free, confidential service with over 1,300 trained community volunteers offering help and guidance.

Tax Commissioner Michael D’Ascenzo said the program is available to people with straightforward tax matters, especially those preparing a tax return for the first time.

“The volunteers are available to help people prepare and lodge their tax return and understand what can be claimed as a tax deduction and how to claim it,” Mr D’Ascenzo said.

This year more Tax Help centres will be able to lodge returns electronically using e-tax, meaning their returns are processed even faster.

“The volunteers and Tax Help centres are doing a wonderful job assisting those in the community most in need of help with their tax return,” Mr D’Ascenzo said.

You are eligible for Tax Help if you are a single person and your taxable income is $40,000 or less, married or de facto and your taxable income is $40,000 or less, plus $2,500 for each child, or a single parent and your taxable income is $40,000 or less, plus $2,500 for each child.

This successful program has been running for 22 years, with over 64,000 people using the Tax Help service last year. Tax Help is available from July to October in all capital cities and several country towns across Australia.

If you are not sure if you are eligible or you want to find out how to contact your nearest Tax Help centre, phone the ATO on 13 28 61. For more information visit www.ato.gov.au/taxhelp

Haven’t been to the nail salon in a while?

Read on my friends - it’s all different now!

Shellac, a brand new product, is making huge waves in the international beauty world, being praised as the greatest breakthrough since the invention of nail polish itself!

It is hailed as being so amazing that DIY manicurists are flocking back to nail salons in their droves!

So what’s so different about Shellac?

After five years of development, this is a product that provides the ease of polish with the permanence of gel and acrylic. It applies thinly like polish, wears flawlessly for 14 days of high gloss shine, and is removed in minutes with NO damage to your natural nails. No more thick nails, chips, repairs and backfills!

Removal is just as satisfying, with no soaking, drilling or filing. Nails are wrapped in individual Shellac remover wraps - 10 minutes of time in exchange for two weeks of perfect color is all it takes. Say good-bye to manicure frustration and hello to pure manicure satisfaction.

You leave the salon in a quarter of the time with perfect nails that are 100 per cent dry, strong, and super shiny!

Best of all, did you know that you can experience the very latest in beauty therapy innovation right here in Mooloolah?

Give Lisa or Aimee a call to make an appointment for your Shellac manicure or pedicure, and take advantage of other seasonal specials while you are there.

Indulge in a file and paint with Shellac (hands or feet) for just $30.00, or try a Shellac manicure including scrub, hand masque and moisturiser, just $45.00. A Shellac pedicure, $55.00 including soak, scrub and foot massage, botanical facials just $40.00, and glycolic peels for $50.00 each, with the fifth FREE when you buy four!

Give us a call on 5492 9233 to book your appointment or check out our website www.mooloolahbeauty.com.au

Q. So tell me a little bit about yourself?

A. Hi kids, I’m Dougal, the Cancer Council’s Daffodil Day Bear. I get to be Cancer Council’s official Daffodil Day Bear because I just love yellow – it’s the colour of hope, and you know, daffodils are the brightest and most hopeful yellow flowers I know of!

Q. How old are you?

A. This year I will celebrate my 18th birthday (in bear-years of course) on Daffodil Day, Friday, August 27. You can help make my birthday bear-tastic by asking mum or dad, or grandma or grandpa to buy a lovely fresh bunch of bright yellow daffodils on Daffodil Day. Q. What is so special about Daffodil Day? A. Daffodil Day is my beary favourite day of the year, it’s even better than Christmas, because it’s the day to buy a beary big bunch of daffodils and show all your friends and family how much you want to help the Cancer Council defeat cancer!

Q. What else do you do, Dougal?

A. Well I am always beary busy selling fresh daffodils during August for Daffodil Day. Otherwise I usually hang out with my best mate Sid Seagull, and we just love to visit schools and tell all the kids, and their parents too, about how important it is to be a beary cool SunSmart kid!

Q. Why is it cool to be SunSmart like Sid Seagull?

A. Being SunSmart like my mate Sid Seagull is the coolest way kids can prevent getting skin cancer. The sun’s UV rays can be beary nasty to your young skin, so be like Sid Seagull and always: Slip on a shirt, Slop on a hat, Slap on sunscreen, Seek shade and Slide on sunnies when you go outdoors! Make sure you remind mum and dad too, in case they forget.

Q. Why do you change your clothes so much?

A. Each Daffodil Day I get a new outfit – it’s great! Last year I studied to become a cancer researcher, so the good folks at the Cancer Council gave me my very own lab coat and glasses so I could go to work every day and search for a cure to cancer. But this year, I’m all rugged up in my cuddly Daffodil Day hoodie, which I love!

Cancer remains one of Australia’s biggest health problems and is expected to claim the lives of more than 43,000 Australians and over 21,000 Queenslanders in 2010.

This August, you can also help us beat cancer by purchasing a Daffodil Day gift, such as a daffodil pin (ranging from $5.00 - $50.00), daffodil pen ($5.00), mini soccer ball ($7.00), sparkling diamante pin ($10.00), cuddly Dougal Bear ($10.00), key ring ($7.00) or a daffodil USB ($20.00).

Funds raised through Daffodil Day support Cancer Council’s vital cancer research, education programs and support services for cancer patients and their families.

You can register to join the thousands of Queenslanders who volunteer to help sell Daffodil Day merchandise and flowers in their local community this Daffodil Day. Simply visit www.daffodilday.com.au or call 1300 65 65 85 for more information.

So if yellow makes you happy and you think that we should all help in the effort to beat cancer, then please buy a daffodil on Daffodil Day.

mention everyone fell off at some time or another and had to get help. When you have problems one of the best ways out of them is always having a few mates around.

Solomon said “Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labour. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up.”

We also knew how to PARTY and celebrate our adventure. At the top we enjoyed a three course meal at the Punsand Bay Camping Resort.

Solomon also said “Honour and enjoy your Creator while you’re still young.”

I hope to always stay young at heart, but the body will age and so you have to do some things while you’re able. I don’t want to be a person that looks back and says ‘if only’.

Life is a great adventure and I’m so glad that a bike ride was a great way of going to the Tip of Australia.

Yea Pastors are real blokes and enjoy adventure too!

Well it may not have been quite the adventure as the TV show of Bear Grylls but I recently went on a two week motorbike ride from Cains to the tip of Cape York. For us it was a 3,000 klm ride on dirt bikes. I’ve ridden a road bike for many years but riding a dirt bike on outback roads and old tracks was definitely far more demanding as well as very dirty and dusty riding.

I went with five other mates and I got the award for falling off the most. Thankfully I got home with no broken bones, only a few bruises. Well one massive bruise on my hip to put it bluntly.

The doctor told me that the swelling should be gone in a couple of weeks.

It was a great adventure though and one I will treasure for many years to come.

One night I sat down and wrote down some of the principles that came out of a trip like this.

You have to PLAN a trip like this and know the roads you are going to take. There are a lot of dead ends that you don’t want to go down. Think about where you want to end up and plan ahead.

What about Heaven?

Months of PREPARATION went into getting ready for the trip. It’s no good getting out in the middle of no-where without a swag to sleep in, or a tin of bake beans for dinner (had a few cans of rice cream, too). Good preparation makes life so much easier.

We had our PROBLEMS, too, with flat tyres, clutch failures, drowned bikes in rivers, not to

News in brief Look out for ‘Encompass’ Encompass magazine has arrived in letterboxes across the Sunshine Coast, with all the news on Sunshine Coast Council’s latest budget.

The August edition of council’s quarterly magazine was delivered to residential letterboxes until August 2.

The cover features owner/ builder Robert Stynes who wanted to build his dream home without costing the earth. He created a stunning eco-friendly resort style home high on the hill in Buderim for less than $350,000. His efforts won him the Golden Glossy for Excellence in Sustainable Design at council’s recent Living Smart Awards.

The August issue continues the environmental theme, giving tips on how to recycle. Find out exactly what you can and can’t put in your yellow-topped wheelie bin as part of council’s latest recycling campaign currently airing on TV. Other highlights in the August Encompass include the chance to win a photography competition by telling us your hopes for 2030; how council is fighting erosion at Mooloolaba Spit; how many local finalists are in the running for the Sunshine Coast Art Prize; why tickets are selling like hotcakes for the Caloundra Music Festival, and what you had to say about the new Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme.

Look out for your edition in your letterbox. If you haven’t got yours by August 3, give council a call on 5475 7272.

Encompass is published quarterly and delivered as unaddressed mail to letterboxes across the Sunshine Coast, costing just 50 cents per issue to produce and deliver.

Most people associate the word “debt” with an unhealthy bank balance, but debt can be a good thing if you are able to make it work for you.

“Bad debt” is finance on things that cost you money rather than make you money. For example, credit card debt, car loans, personal loans and store loans.

The interest on these loans is usually high and non-tax deductible.

Generally, you want to pay off this type of debt as quickly as you can.

On the other hand, good debt – debt that works for you – is debt on assets or things that make you money.

For example, business loans, education loans and loans on investment property are all things that are intended over time to make you money.

This debt gives you the power of leverage – it means that you can use a little of your own money and a lot of someone else’s money to buy

One acre, a shed and a cottage It’s not often you come across a flat usable acre of land with a shed and a cottage, lovely mature trees and plenty of room to let your imagination go wild. This acre is in a quiet rural area of the gorgeous Glass House Mountains yet has close access to the Bruce Highway.

The cottage which is located to the rear of the block; is liveable and if desired, with some work would make a comfortable one bedroom home. Or leave the cottage as a play house for the kids and build a new home on the front of this beautiful block of land. There is a 9m x 6m x 2.7m high, two door shed with power and a workshop and a couple of new poly water tanks, plus a stable and tack room currently being used to house Shetland ponies. The property also has a deep well with a new pump.

Top tips to get your home sooner It is estimated that 469,000 households will be suffering some degree of mortgage discomfort

Spokesperson for Mortgage Choice, Kristy Sheppard said there are shortcuts that can help borrowers avoid mortgage stress, reduce their loan term and the interest paid.

Phone (07) 5494 0522 “It's about taking control of their finances by Unit 1 & 2, 5 Beerwah Parade, Beerwah BSA Lic. No.: 11081523 managing their mortgage instead of letting it manage them. Avoiding mortgage stress is often a greater challenge for new borrowers, many of whom are adapting to a budget for the first time.

If you are on a budget, consider making an offer on this property…it’s got plenty of potential and priced at only $360,000. Ring Lilli Gibson from Laurie Evans Real Estate Glass House Mountains today on 0409 922 857 or 5496 9411.

"If these borrowers and others facing a similar situation want to better their mortgage situation they need to be proactive in their repayment strategy. By maintaining regular repayments above current interest rates, being disciplined in keeping to budget, making extra contributions, fully utilising the loan facilities available and regularly 'shopping around', borrowers can potentially fast track their way to outright ownership."

Mortgage Choice recommends these top tips: Contribute to your change - paying a little extra every month can have a big impact in the long run. Make a dent - making a lump sum payment (big or small) into a loan can make a substantial difference. If you deposited your tax return of, say, $500 into the above mentioned loan, it would reduce the overall term by one month and the total repayments by just over $2,350.

Make the most of loan features - loans with offset accounts enable borrowers to link a savings account with their home loan account and 'offset' or use that amount to reduce the interest accumulated on their mortgage.

Don't settle for second best - if you went for a premium loan you may be repaying at a higher interest rate for facilities and features you don't need or use. Consider refinancing to a more basic product offering a lower interest rate - your repayments will be lower, and therefore you'll be able to afford to pay your loan off quicker.

Give your loan a check up - if you already have a home loan, look at doing a home loan health check regularly because the mortgage market changes all the time. You might be able to get a better package now.

Keep your eye open for bargains - you might also investigate your eligibility for a 'professional package' home loan, where you can receive a reduced interest rate, no application or other fees, gold credit cards, and home insurance and other product discounts and benefits. *Fujitsu March 2010 Mortgage Stress-O-Meter Update

Tips fr om

Get up and grow

with Jade King COMMUNITY RECYCLING INC

It’s time to take a stand and find ways to save money through recycling The last time we experienced tough times with money and survival was in the 1980’s. Most of us had to come up with innovative ways to save money in one area in order to pay rent, food, general living expenses or house payments.

Cutting down on water use is one way to save.

Place a bowl in the sink when washing up or rinsing the dishes then recycle that water in the garden. You’ll be surprised how much water you save by not running a tap or filling the sink to do the dishes. It’s cheaper to boil the kettle for the washing up water than to waste the water running down the drain waiting for the hot water to arrive.

Do the same for a small bath or when you’re waiting for the hot to wash the dishes, fill the kettle or the water bottles while the water is cold.

A trick to save on power is when you boil the kettle first up put the left over hot water into a thermos; re use that water for cups of tea/coffee and when you need to boil the kettle again tip the hot or warm water into the bowl to wash up the dishes.

Why not try making your own ‘3 in 1 Organic Garden Spray’ by using items you have in the house?

This product contains no preservatives and must be used fresh for insects (mainly soft bodied) and for diseases (fungal) e.g. leaf spot and mildew.

1: Soak 85 grams of minced garlic in 2 tablespoons (30ml) of mineral oil for 24 hours.

Proudly sponsored by Coochin Creek Co-op for all your gardening needs 39 Simpson St, Beerwah Ph: 5494 6219

A buzz in the backyard I have some new pets in my backyard, and unlike many others, these are great for my garden, extremely low maintenance, absolutely fascinating to watch, pose no danger to my children and have the potential to provide me with liquid gold. Now I bet I have your attention!

My new pets are Australian native stingless bees.

Unlike your regular flamboyantly coloured yellow and black striped stinging European bees, our little Aussie stingless bee is very humble, being plain black in colour and less than half the size of the European bee.

Being the amazing creatures that they are, Aussie stingless bees take care of themselves, making them the absolute ideal pet. There is no feeding or watering required, you can leave on an extended holiday and they don’t make any noise to be complained about.

Now it’s not just about how easy they are to care for, for me it is the fascinating way the bees run their colony, their amazing homing skills and of course their pollinating abilities. They are quite literally a hive of amazing information to learn from, which I just love to pass on to my children despite their rolling eyes when I become a little too passionate.

Retrieving honey from our little Aussie bees is something I am yet to do. Unlike European bees that have regular hexagonal cells contained within vertical combs made of beeswax, our Aussie bees tend to be quite irregular builders, making it more difficult to extract the honey.

However, I am told difficult doesn’t mean impossible and that the sweet tangy native honey is worth the extra effort involved. I am sure to regale you with stories of my first bit of prize honey when my little critters let me at it.

2: Strain and add 600lm of water + 1 teaspoon of liquid soap (dish detergent will do but pure soap is better) mix well.

Dilute 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture in 600ml of water and use while the mixture is fresh.

Notes: Use the spray early in the morning – not in high temperatures or the heat of the day.

Test first – signs of burning are crisping, burning and blistering.

Soft foliage and tips are more susceptible to burn.

Remember organics can also harm good, beneficial insects too – so watch what you spray.

In the patch In the veggie patch, many will be harvesting great feasts of broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, silverbeet, peas, tomatoes and potatoes.

It is seriously a great time in the veggie patch and I love the fact that I am not having to share much of my harvest with the caterpillars and grasshoppers.

My successive plantings of carrot seeds have proven a great success with the thinned out young carrots being a great treat in both my cooking and the kid’s lunch boxes. Another lunch box favourite has been the peas and cherry tomatoes, not to mention the strawberries.

This year I am going to try a few late plantings of peas, broccoli and cabbage in an attempt to prolong the availability of these vegetables.

I recall last year I was harvesting peas off some very late plants that had self-seeded which from all accounts should have been well out of season.

Apart from the above trial, I will be starting to plant some summer vegetables too, such as zucchini, cucumber, eggplant, pumpkin and squash. As usual, amongst it all I will be try a new variety or two just to experiment.

I hope everyone gets to spot our little Aussie bees amongst the flowers and that many of you catch the bug for gardening or bees or both! Until next time in get up and grow.

On Tuesday, July 27 the semi final of the mixed pairs was played. At the end of 21 ends the scores were tied at 20 all so an extra end was needed. Nev Shaw and Eileen Pierce prevailed over Lloyd and Judy Walker by one shot. What a great game. I was compensated by winning the raffle.

Friday, July 30 winners were Nev and Gloria Shaw, 2nd Nev and Jo Littles and 3rd Stephen Shaw and Mark Ferguson.

Saturday, July 31 saw the final of the mixed Pairs. Another fantastic game with our Champs of a few years Nev Shaw and Eileen Pierce winning the Title. They had a lot of nervous moments

but finally got home over Rob Hall and Ede Clark. Congratulations to both teams for the tight contest – it made it very hard to concentrate on our Social Bowls.

The Social winners were Darren Black and Joy Ensbey. Eileen Pierce won the Raffle.

He asked the guy, "how much money do you make a week?"

A little surprised, the young man looked at him and said, "I make $400.00 a week. Why?" The CEO said, "wait right here." He walked back
