Hi everyone

Well this week you will have no excuse for not remembering that it’s Fathers Day this Sunday. As my Dad passed away quite a few years ago I obviously don’t think about celebrating - but at this time of the year I do think about my Dad and appreciate the person he was. My Dad was always there, he was dedicated to looking after my Mum and he worked long hours to provide for us as a family, which I guess to him was one of the most important jobs of being a Dad. He believed that being a parent was about preparing kids for the realities of life and giving them the skills to get on and make the most of it. It’s a funny thing because when I was younger this kind of annoyed me – I thought I would rather have a parent that spoilt and indulged me – who would buy me a car when I turned seventeen, and buy

me a plane ticket to Europe for my 21st birthday and so on. But as an adult, I can look back and appreciate that being given the skills to create a good life for myself was actually a really great and noble thing he did, and one that I should probably have been more thankful for. And for those of you who have your Dads around you, why not show him how much you appreciate him. Regards,

threatening situations, it also helps in everyday life, while the comraderie, and being part of a team, is another great benefit,” Larry said. It’s far removed from his day job as a teacher, where the focus is on teaching others. “While you certainly learn an incredible amount, and go through extensive training, it’s also about personal development, and learning more about yourself,” Larry said. “I think before I was blasé about the role of being a volunteer rural firefighter, but after having received the award, to be recognised for your contribution, has really filled me with pride.”

Larry, third from left, at the medal presentation Last week, Larry, who is a member of the Coochin Creek Rural Fire Brigade, was presented with a national service medal for 15 years service at an official ceremony to mark the opening of the new Kenilworth station. In accepting the medal, Larry said he wasn’t prepared for the overwhelming sense of pride he felt in being recognised for his efforts. Larry joined his local rural fire brigade after witnessing first hand the devastation of the 1994 bushfires that ripped through the local area. Today, 15 years later, he remains grateful for the opportunities it has given him. “The training you receive not only helps you deal with stressful and sometimes life-

Locals say no aerodrome for Glass House Last week we reported on council’s plans to relocate the Caloundra aerodrome to Johnston Road, in the Glasshouse Mountains, on the condition the state government commits to the cost of the relocation. Over the past week, we’ve received plenty of calls, most of which have been highly critical of Council’s intention to move it to our back yard.

This week, we asked Council why the Johnston Road site had been selected without any consultation with the local community. They provided the following response. In 2008, the State government commenced a study to identify the most suitable alternative site to replace the Caloundra Aerodrome taking account of aviation, operational, economic, and environmental, land use, social, property and infrastructure considerations. The State government study considered a number of sites between Bells Creek and Caboolture, including a possible site in the vicinity of Johnston Road at Glass House Mountains. The Johnston Road site is located in forestry land several kilometres to the east of the Bruce Highway with access via the existing Johnston Road intersection. Preliminary information suggested that this site was the preferred site on the basis that it could accommodate a general aviation facility in the southern part of the Sunshine Coast region with good access and limited operational impacts on surrounding areas. However, the State government has not released the final report from this study.

At the recent council meeting, the council agreed to not move the Caloundra aerodrome—this is the State government’s responsibility. In the event the State government commits to providing a fully constructed replacement aerodrome, the Johnson Road site is council’s preferred location for general aviation in the south Caloundra area, this comes from a strategic planning position but also to give the aviation businesses the opportunity they need to grow. In 2009, Council adopted its Statement of Proposals which outlines key directions for the preparation of a new Sunshine Coast planning scheme. The Statement of Proposals Map identifies a ‘Possible Future Aerodrome (subject to further State government investigation)’ in the southern part of the Sunshine Coast between Bells Creek and the southern boundary of the local government area. The Council’s Statement of Proposals and maps was included in its consultation with the Sunshine Coast communities during the last 12 months as part of Our Place Our Future. We also asked council for a further explanation of the preferred location given that much of the Glass House Mountains area is heritage listed and has native title claims over it. Council said it acknowledged that the Glass House Mountains National Landscape was placed on the National Heritage List in 2006 and that it continues to be of spiritual significance to the Aboriginal people of the region. However, council said the Johnston Road site is further removed in its location from the listed places under the Glass House Mountains National Landscape as the suggested location is in forestry land several kilometres to the east of the Bruce Highway.

According to Council, the State government study commenced in 2008 has examined the Johnston Road site as a possible site, and whilst the State government has not released the final report from this study, it is believed that the preliminary evaluations by the State have included matters of an environmental and cultural heritage nature. Divisional Councillor Anna Grosskreutz said the proposed site is located well into the State Forest east of the Bruce Highway. The State has the study which was undertaken a number of years ago and is yet to officially release it. “As the local representative I will be heavily involved if the State Government does pay for any relocation to ensure flight circuits remain east. The site allows plenty of room for this and why it should be less intrusive than its current location,” Cr Grosskreutz said. She said there was a lot of misunderstanding about the proposed location of the aerodrome, which isn’t on Johnston’s Road at all, but 4.5km inland, on a site that is well buffered by state forestry, and far removed from residential development. The other issue that people need to understand is that before the Camcos corridor can proceed, the Caloundra aerodrome must be shifted. She said the present location of the aerodrome in Caloundra is surrounded by urban development, whereas the site in Glass House is surrounded by forestry. “The other issue that people need to be aware of is that the relocation of the aerodrome won’t automatically mean that there would be helicopters buzzing around the Glass House Mountains. Council will be very particular with the leases, and it will be a closed circuit. “The aerodrome has the potential to offer major economic and employment opportunities to this region, and we need to get away from the noise of buzzing helicopters, which is clouding the issue,” Cr Grosskreutz said.

Here’s what you had to say about it. “I am curious to know if unsightly red navigational lights will be set atop our heritage listed mountains? And if so which mountains? Also, will aircraft be landing via a west/east airstrip like Caboolture’s? Or via a north/south airstrip like Maroochydore’s? Is there a map on public display anywhere yet? At this stage I do not approve the move.” Tina, Beerwah. Mike Harvey, who lives across from the proposed site on Johnston Road, said there was already so much traffic noise. “We have that many motorbikes and helicopters without the airport traffic and noise,” Mike said. “This is a nice, peaceful place – an airport will destroy that.” Beth Brown, from Glass House, said she would be very disappointed in the aerodrome was relocated to this area. “I’ve just retired to the area, it’s supposed to be classed as a rural area.” Glasshouse’s Stefan Dobrowitz asked why the Mayor didn’t consider Noosa as a possible location for the relocation. “Mr Abbott, if you are fair dinkum about moving the airport, take it up to Noosa where you live. If it is too noisy for Caloundra, are we second class citizens out here at Glass House?” One very vocal opponent was Peter Webb, of Glass House, who would like to set up a group to fight the move. “An airport in our back yard will destroy every property value in the area. No one will want to come here. “In previous planning documents, Glass House Mountains was supposed to have been kept as a village.” Peter, who in his professional life was involved in building airports, said the proposed site on Johnson Road was the wrong place to relocate the aerodrome. “It’s in a flood zone, and it has acid sulphite soil,” he said. Graham Rimmer, of Glass House Mounains asked the Mayor what right he thinks he has to arbitrarily decide that the Caloundra Aerodrome should be relocated to the Glasshouse Mountains. “The residents of the Glass House Mountains do not want an aerodrome located here. When Australia Zoo attempted to have helicopter joy flights over the area, the residents were united in their opposition to such an activity and will, without doubt, fight far more vigourously against the imposition of an aerodrome into our lives,” Graham said. “I would strongly suggest to our divisional councillor that she jumps on this issue right now to make it very plain to the Mayor that relocation of the aerodrome to the Glasshouse Mountians is not acceptable and will be fought every step of the way.” Astara Pendragon had a different view. “It’s a really good idea, as it keeps the facility close, and keeps the traffic away from the busy Caloundra area, and jobs in the local area. Being just off the highway is also convenient,” Astara said. Another perspective was offered by Mark Galletley, of Glass House Mountains. Mark said he and his partner bought their home at Glass House Mountains about six months ago, and love living here. He said he would like to see an aerodrome built in the local area for a couple of reasons. cont. on page 16

Beerwah High teacher and student win prestigious science awards The State Government recently congratulated the 27 winners of the Peter Doherty Awards for Excellence in Science and Science Education, as part of National Science Week (August 14 - 22). Two of those winners were our very own Adam Budd, Science Teacher from Beerwah State High School and School Captain, Andrew Perryman. The Queensland awards recognise outstanding and innovative contributions to science and science education from students, teachers, school leaders, volunteers, scientific industries, business associations, community organisations, tertiary education and research institutions. The 27 students, teachers and organisations share in $99,000 of prize money allowing them to continue their important work and science studies. Adam Budd, a teacher for 16 years, has been a teacher at Beerwah High for seven years. “It’s nice to be recognised for work you do. It’s a big pat on the back. We feel like we’re doing the right thing but it’s nice to be recognised by someone else as well. This is now four Peter Doherty awards the school has won over the last five years so it is a major event. To get one is pretty special so I think we’re on the right track,” he said. Everyone who won awards had to show a commitment to science above and beyond the norm.

Andrew Perryman and Adam Budd Andrew Perryman said, “students were also considered on senior science marks and your intention to pursue a career in science and also any science forums and extra curriculum science based activities.” While Andrew excels in many areas including academically and musically he has a passion for science. “I love the discovery of knowing how things work and why they work. It’s pretty cool. I like the far reaching positive applications of science, especially biological sciences.” Adam agreed, adding, “I especially like physics because it gets really weird and the logic seems to leave when you start to get to the end of end.” The awards are named after Professor Doherty, who was Australian of the Year in 1997. He and his Swiss colleague Rolf Zinkernagel were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine in 1996 for discovering the nature of cellular immune defence. The award presentation ceremony will be held in Brisbane at Customs House on Wednesday, October 6.

Putting your best paw forward The competition is always tough when showing animals, so the fact that Beerwah resident Debbie Neilson and her Corgis took out four first places at the Brisbane Ekka is an outstanding achievement. CJ, whose show name is ‘Antudor Like It Or Love It’, won Best Baby Puppy in Show, Bryson, first, Baby Puppy Sweepstakes, Emily, first, Veteran Sweepstakes and Candice, first, Best of Breed (Best Corgi). “I was so excited and proud. The whole house was excited. I didn’t think we were ever going to stop talking about it,” she said. “It’s the biggest show in Queensland for the year so it’s a bit of a prestige thing. CJ won Best Baby Puppy In Show at the Mt Gravatt Show as well, in her first show out, but to win an Ekka….” For judging, each breed has a standard and Corgis have to be alert, move easily, have straight top lines, their head has to be a certain way, and more. Debbie said the dogs know they are special. “Oh yes, they certainly know when they win. Emily loves the exhibition because it’s inside and she just goes in, her head’s up, she just loves it. CJ bounced around the ring when she won.” Although Debbie has 12 Corgis she admits she does have a favourite. “Emily, she’s won so much, she is a grand champion, but she is such a sweetheart. I’ve got three sons, and I wanted to call a daughter Emily, so Emily’s it.”

Debbie's son Kalen (8), with some of their adorable Corgi puppies

Debbie has been breeding and showing her dogs for 34 years and has won many awards over the years. “Dad used to take me to the dog shows because I loved dogs so much. I bred my first litter in 1978, and out of that litter had an Australian Champion,” she said. “I love showing. It’s really social, you make so many good friends and it’s good fun. You go to win but if you don’t win and you’ve had a good day, who cares.”

Debbie said Corgis are a breed suitable for anyone. “They’re great with kids, they’re little but robust. With older people they can sit on a lounge and watch TV with you. They’re an easy breed. Easy to train, easy to live with.” She admits they have one flaw. “The hardest part is keeping them thin. They want to eat everything,” she laughed.

Join the pug club It’s known as the ‘clown of the dog world’, and for many owners, a pug is indeed not only a friend for life, but a constant source of entertainment and enjoyment. So it makes sense that pug owners are keen to share their sense of wonderment and love for this unique breed of dog with like-minded folk. And that is exactly why one local woman, Beppie Darben, is setting up a Pugs Club.

Beppie is the proud owner of two pugs, Angus and Billie, and is keen to meet up with other owners of pugs to share information and provide opportunities for interaction for the lovable breed. On Sunday, Beppie hosted the first of what she hopes will become regular, monthly get-togethers, at the dog off leash park in Simpson Street, Beerwah. If you own a pug or are looking to join the ranks of pug owners in the local area, then contact Beppie on 5494 0937, or 0405 215 249, or email bepkev@bigpond.com.au

A long walk for Luke

Simone Christensen Nearly everyone reading this article probably knows of a young man in his early twenties, whether it be a son, grandson, brother, nephew, friend, a friend of a friend or neighbour. Most young men that age are enjoying life, being active and fit, and making plans for an exciting future. Sadly that is not the case for Luke Christensen. He was 23 when a car accident in 2008 left him with a severe traumatic brain injury. He lost his right arm and can no longer walk, and resides in a slow stream Acquired Brain Injury centre requiring 24 hour care. Although the recent Brain Injury Awareness week highlighted brain injury due to falls, Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) refers to any damage to the brain that occurs after birth. That damage can be caused by a variety of reasons including accidents, trauma or stroke. Over 500,000 Australians have an ABI, with three out of four aged under 65. Luke is one of the two out of every three of these people who acquired their brain injury before they turned 25. Luke’s sister, Simone Christensen, recently moved to Glass House Mountains with her family to be closer to Luke. “He’s struggling at the moment. There’s still a lot of the old Luke, he still has a joke, a laugh and loves to chat, but he was so active before the accident and now he sits in a chair all day by himself and watches television. He’s desperately wanting to get out and have some sort of normal life again,” Simone said. To help Luke achieve that goal, on September 12 Simone and her three children, sister Sonia and their friends - ‘Team Christensen’ - are participating in The Developing Foundation’s 2010 Riverwalk. It is a sponsored five kilometre walk along the Brisbane River. The funds raised helps families provide support and care for their loved ones. “We’re trying to raise funds for Luke’s physio. We were told that he’d get more rehab than what he’s getting now. We just want to get him to the best that he can be; as independent as he can be. He’ll never have the life he used to have but we want to give him some happiness and be able to live again.” Simone and her family have shown remarkable inner strength considering the family also lost another brother in a boating accident eight years ago and their mother to cancer in 2008, and she admits it hasn’t been easy. “You go along as best as you can,” she said. Team Christensen is hoping to raise at least $5,000 which will provide Luke with approximately six months of physiotherapy. All donations $2.00 and over are tax deductible. If you would like to provide sponsorship or a donation visit www.developingfoundation.org.au/family/Christensen Simone also has donation books. If any business is willing make a donation book available at their business phone 5493 0078 or 0429 648 101, or email teamchriso@hotmail.com for more information.

Three students from Glasshouse Country Christian College have been awarded runners up at the national School Soil Science Awards in front of more than 1,800 of the world’s most renowned soil scientists in Brisbane last week. Everret Evans, Patrick McKenzie and Josh Bull were awarded second place in the national School Soil Science Awards as part of the 19th world congress of soil science for their project looking at which soils are best for beneficial bugs. They collected several soil samples and conducted an experiment to lure the bugs out of the soil, into a beaker so they could count them and see which soil was the most beneficial. Soil scientist and coordinator of the Awards, Philippa Tolmie, says this year’s awards were particularly special as the winning students from Year 2 to Year 12 had the opportunity to present their projects to the world’s leading experts attending the congress.

GCCC students Everret Evans, Patrick McKenzie and Joshua Bull excitedly await the presentation of their second place prize in the national School Soil Science Awards. “These experts recognise that solutions to the world’s problems lie with our future generations,” she said. “We need more soil scientists doing research and advising on ways to sustainably manage and use our soils, not just for agriculture, but for environmental and natural resource management, urban and regional planning, and engineering.” The students shared a cash prize.

Teaching excellence at Glenview

MEAT CITY A proud member of Master Butchers Qld. AS SEEN ON TV 5 of Queensland’s Biggest Retail Butcher shops have got together and you SAVE!

Kokoda Challenge a breeze! Ninety-six kilometres of rugged terrain did not deter them! They ran the race and finished the course and lived to tell the tale! A small group of staff members from Unity College took up the challenge to walk the same distance as the Kokoda Trail in the Kokoda Challenge recently. This is a simulated walk to raise funds for the Kokoda Challenge Youth Program (KCYP), a 14 month program developed to help young Australians who are at a crossroads in their lives. It uses the Spirit of Kokoda to teach the Staff members who participated in the younger generation about the value Kokoda Challenge of endurance, courage, sacrifice and mateship and provides the youth with the opportunity to learn the skills and qualities that matter in life; including discipline, tolerance, self worth, team work, purpose and leadership. The walk took place in the Gold Coast hinterland and among the 1,400 registered participants were two teams from Unity College consisting of Dave Moon, David Sanders, Justin Williams, Murray Williams, Renee Williams, Lynne O’Brien, Cathy Bowcock and Casey Beilby. A challenge it was: over 500 of the competitors withdrew from the walk before they were half way through, but the Unity teams soldiered on and all of them finished the course! It took them just 27 hours and 45 minutes to complete the distance: non-stop, no sleep, just a change of clothes periodically, and a welcome snack of hot soup provided by supporters along the way. “It was the best thing I’ve ever done!” said Justin Williams. “It was not only challenging but broadening as well,” added Casey Beilby. “Each checkpoint had a display of information about a different section of the Kokoda Trail, telling us where it was geographically and what had happened there during the war. It was a great achievement – something I never thought I’d be able to do.” The teams raised over $2,500 in sponsorship for the project and have added a memorable achievement to their curriculum vitae! Well done, all!

The NEiTA foundation has congratulated Glenview State School on having not one, but TWO teachers nominated for an ASG Inspirational Teaching Award. Only around one per cent of teachers are nominated for the NEiTA award annually, so having two in the one small school is fantastic. Sue Gazzard and Heather Craig, were both nominated by members of our community, and were last week presented with a NEiTA Certificate of Nomination at school assembly. The purpose of these prestigious awards is to honour and recognise inspirational teachers, highlight the work, not only of individual teachers through Australia and New Zealand, but also the team contribution of all teachers in every school and centre. Both Sue and Heather are now eligible for consideration for a National ASG Inspirational Teaching Award and grant. Congratulations!

Travelling Tales with Lydia Lydia’s Travel Story Last October we travelled to South America on a well-organised trip from Mell of Beerwah Travel and visited four countries. In particular was Peru, our dream destination. We arrived in Lima, the capital city, it’s beautiful colonial and famous for the many renowned museums, then we departed for Macchu Picchu, the sacred valley. We then flew to Cuzco, 4,000 meters altitude. Tip - must take tablets for head ache. This city is said to be the capital of the (Tawantisuyio) the fourth quarter of the Inca Empire. The word Cuzco means ‘navel’ as Cuzco was considered the centre of the world; the city was laid out to form a puma, with the fortress (Sacsahuaman) as its head and the buildings, and city below as the body, leg and tail. Much of the city was destroyed during the Spanish Conquest but a lot of Inca stonework still remains to give you the sense of what Inca Cuzco was like. The only way to get to the sacred valley is by train so we travelled to the closest town Aguas Caliente 104 km, with its wonderful hot springs. The train moved slowly and swiftly like a snake, sliding among those big rocks and in some areas almost touching the river, as this is the only way to get there. We thought, what if anything happens, we’d be stuck here! Believe it or not two weeks after we left there was heavy rain, the river flooded and the people had to be evacuated by helicopter, I can just imagine their feelings. Aguas Caliente is a beautiful town in the middle of the majestic mountains, with a spectacular river flowing through the middle,

Proudly sponsored by

Beerwah Travel

lots of restaurants, in each a wood fire oven the fire and the aroma of pizza cooking was very inviting, as it was cold and raining. Another tip - a good rain coat is a must! The next morning nice and early after a short drive by bus and a 20 minute walk, finally the Sacred Valley! Tourists from all over the world probably all share the same dream. What an amazing ancient once hidden city! We couldn’t believe how it was built so high and under difficult conditions. No wonder the Spanish Conquistadores never got there. Built on the tip of the mountain, carrying those huge rocks and fitting them so precisely, it was well planed and organised. Macchu Picchu is beautiful beyond words, an absolutely very spiritual and magical place. No wonder it is world heritage.

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 group of locals have put the efforts of their handiwork to a good cause, last week donating a collection of 10 quilts to Eden in Glasshouse. The group of five ladies, including Margaret Brown of Morayfield, Glass House Mountains’ Gladys McCarron and Lorraine Mann, Elaine Sinnamon of Peachester and Glenda Halpin of Beerwah were welcomed with a High Tea by Eden staff and residents for their kind efforts, which will be sold off through a silent auction to run during the month of September.

Visit council’s website and subscribe before 17 September for your chance to win!

Noosa Biosphere Day Gather the gang at Noosa Woods to celebrate Biosphere Day, 10am – 4pm on 19 September.

Visit council's website to have your say, or contact council’s Community Planner on 5441 8401 for more details.

Local ladies donate a collection of 10 quilts to Eden

All funds raised from the silent auction will go towards the Friends of Eden, which in turn will directly benefit the residents of the aged care facility. Group spokesperson Glenda Halpin said the group donated the quilts as a way of saying thanks to all the staff. “My father was a former resident at Eden, and the staff were just fantastic. They do such a wonderful job, and this is our way of saying thanks,” Glenda said. The group have also previously donated their quilts to other local causes, including the local Rural Fire Brigade. In appreciation of their efforts, the staff at Eden offered the ladies the use of one of their rooms where they can meet on regular occasions to do their sewing, which also gives residents the opportunity to get involved. Glenda said they plan to use the time they spend at the facility to make a Christmas wall hanging for the residents. If you are interested in bidding on one of the quilted items, they are on display at Eden for the month of September.

Free dance class with top Sydney and ex-local dancer One of Sydney’s top dance groups will be performing at the Mooloolah Valley Country Club on Saturday night. As part of their visit to perform at Sunday’s Doing Dads Proud event at Cotton Tree, the group will be doing a free show at the country club, followed by a free lesson for anyone (all ages) that wants to have a go at learning hip hop. This is great opportunity to be taught by the best, including a former ex-hinterland local, Laree Gadenne. Laree, the owner of Karizma Dance and Entertainment and a former Young Achiever of the Year, now lives and works in Sydney running dance lessons for both children and adults, as well as running and performing in several dance troops of her own and with Serghei from Dancing with the Stars fame. Having attended school in Glenview and Beerwah, Laree is bringing her latest dance group KarizmatiK to the hinterland area to give our residents a chance to see them perform plus learn a few moves from her troop.

Congratulations to those local businesses who received the top gong in local radio station 92.7 Mix FM’s ‘Best of’ competition recently. Our very own Beerwah Meats was awarded best butcher on the coast, while Matilda Fruit Barn took out top fruit and veggie shop, and Beerwah Hotel, the best pub/club. The competition, which aims to recognise local businesses in a range of categories, is based entirely on the public’s vote, so a special thanks to all the loyal customers and the Glass House community who have supported these local businesses with their vote.

cont. from page 5 “I am a Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer an currently travel to Redcliffe Aerodrome each day to work. While I don’t mind the drive I would much prefer to have employment and business opportunities closer to home.” “I am also very involved in aviation as a sport, flying competition Aerobatics in my Pitts Special. Currently I have over an hour’s drive each way to my aircraft which is hangared at a more affordable aerodrome in the Brisbane Valley. My main concern is that hangar site lease costs may be unaffordable to people like myself as they have become at the Redcliffe Aerodrome. I would dearly like to have an aerodrome so close to home both for work and pleasure. Combined with some sponsorship to assist with the high costs, the possibility of regular practise sessions close to home would greatly assist in building my level to represent Australia, competing at the World Aerobatic Championships in Europe. Mark said he disagreed with Bob Malcolm’s comments in last week’s edition of GCNews. “He fails to acknowledge that an aerodrome actually brings tourists to an area and creates substantial employment. I am very mindful that aircraft noise is a sensitive issue and flight operational procedures would need to be in place to keep it to a minimum. It is not, however, likely that the skies above the mountains be suddenly filled with noisy scenic air tours. The existing Caloundra Aerodrome and Caboolture airfield are actually only a very few minutes away by air.

Council news New funding program to offer water bill relief

Sunshine Coast Council will offer up to $1 million in community grants to help not-for-profit organisations pay their water bills. Council has agreed to set up a Water and Sewer Funding Program in a two pronged recommendation which also includes a request that Unitywater extend the interest free bill payment period for community and sporting groups while the program is rolled out. Sunshine Coast Mayor, Bob Abbot said that up until the creation of the new water entity, the current council and the three pre-amalgamation councils had provided reduced water and sewerage charges for public sporting grounds and various not-for-profit organisations. “These reductions were in the forms of rates reductions and community service obligations,” Mayor Abbot said. “However, Unitywater has made it very clear that it will not continue to provide these concessions to the not-for-profit sector. “This has potential serious consequences for the affected groups and also the potential to derail the good work these groups do here on the Sunshine Coast. “Council acknowledges the impact that increased water charges will have on the ability of these groups to continue to operate successfully in our community. Mayor Abbot said a detailed report will now be prepared for council’s consideration and outline how the program will be administered over the coming financial year. He said the report will outline the application process and criteria, set the upper limit or capped amount for each individual grant, ensure a consistent approach is applied across the Sunshine Coast, and look at ways groups can adopt affordable and sustainable water measures. Any consideration for the program to be extended beyond this financial year will be considered as part of the annual budget process and deliberations.

Council introduces changes to make animal registration renewals easier

Sunshine Coast Council has introduced changes to make it quicker and easier for residents to renew their pets’ registration. The new annual registration period for cats and dogs will start on October 1 each year and extend to September 30 the following year. Previously, pet owners had to renew their registration each year in July. Pet owners will now also be able to notify council of any changes to their pets’ information conveniently over the Internet via a form on the Sunshine Coast Council website. These changes follow the fee reduction for microchipped and desexed dogs and cats to encourage responsible ownership. Pet owners will start receiving their annual animal registration renewal notices in the mail from next week. There are several convenient payment methods and options available including online payments, over the phone, via Australia Post or at the closest Customer Service Office. Further information is provided in the animal registration renewal notice. For information about pet registration, including fees visit www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

Caloundra Family History Research Inc Contributed by Ros Kuss, Publicity Officer

On September 16, the Caloundra Family History Research group will present Dr Jon Prangnell, Senior Lecturer in Archaeology at the School of Social Science, University of Queensland, at the group’s general meeting. Dr Prangnell, the Director of the university’s Archaeological Services Unit, will give a talk about his work on the Excavation of the old North Brisbane Burial Ground, the original Free Settlement cemetery (1843-1875). This is the cemetery that was in the way of the Suncorp Stadium redevelopment. He has been involved in a number of excavations in Queensland, including the search for the first British Settlement in Queensland, at Redcliffe, and the excavation of an 1890’s gold mining town on the banks of the Burnett River. His talk will commence at 2.30pm, following the general meeting which always starts at 1.30pm. As well as all members, visitors are welcome to attend this very interesting afternoon presentation by Dr Prangnell. The group held its Annual General Meeting last week and the Committee was re-elected with one exception, due to illness. Margaret Ridings has now been elected to the position of Technical Officer, replacing Lorrie Bardzo, who has been responsible for an immeasurable contribution in this, and other areas, especially during the past year. The President, Jocelyn Morgan, read her Annual Report and emphasised a net increase of seven per cent in membership during the year, due in the main to the tireless efforts of a dedicated management team which continually searches for ways to improve services

for members. These include provision of quality guest speakers, organisation of trips, library purchases, library management, publication of the quarterly Clipper magazine, indexing work, plus the ‘behind the scenes’ contributions by all the Committee, together with many other volunteers without which the group would not function so successfully. All were thanked by Jocelyn. The Caloundra Family History Research group now provides more research time for members at the Guide Hut in Arthur Street Caloundra. As a trial until Christmas, the group has decided to open the rooms for research on the morning of the third Thursday of each month, the day when the general meeting is held at 1.30pm. If the extra research time proves to be popular, the Committee will permanently include these hours. Members and visitors are always welcome at the general meetings, where the group aims to provide both interesting and informative speakers each month. Revised times for research are now every Saturday and every third Thursday from 9.30am to 12.30pm, as well as every other Thursday from 9.30am to 4.00 pm. Further information on Caloundra Family History Research’s meetings, specialist interest groups and research details can be obtained from Jocelyn on 5494 9807 or June on 5493 2679. If you have ancestors in Europe, interest groups hold two hour specialised monthly research sessions at the rooms. So much more knowledge can be gained this way as members are keen to help each other. Meeting times are as followsScotland session on the first Saturday of the

Family History Group Gone Fishin’

Bill was a quiet man, worked in railway maintenance, building the interior furnishings of those wonderful old steam trains. In the latter part of his life his workshop at home on his large suburban block were his haven. He could make just about anything out of timber and had a large collection of bits and pieces that he recycled. When the kids were small he made their toys, then he just continued to do so. On retirement, most days he could be found from dawn to dusk, cutting shapes from patterns found in books dating back to 1900 or even earlier. He was a competent woodturner, turning wheels and other curved surfaces on his lathe. The toys did not stay long, for as soon as they were made they were out the door. Though when I visited there were usually some there for me to choose from. There was usually something special about each of Bill’s toys, for on closer inspection, most had a scientific principle that he had included in the 18 |

month at 10.00am. German session on the first Thursday of the month at 1.00pm. Ireland session on the third Thursday of the month at 11.00am and England and Wales on the fourth Thursday at 1.00pm. During October, the group will be conducting a Scottish Seminar at the research rooms. Eminent historian on Scotland, Ann Swain, will talk on the early history of Scotland, migration to Australia, and convicts to Australia, from Scotland. Members and visitors are encouraged to mark Saturday, October 16 in their diary as attendance at this seminar will be essential to their Scottish research knowledge.

In his younger days, Bill had enjoyed fishing, so the few times he was away from his workshop, the sign on his closed door said, ‘Gone fishin!’ Many years later, after the last wheel was turned and the sounds and smells of the workshop were gone, the sign was still there, a testimony to a life well-spent.

Percy’s Wheatgrass

In last week’s article on wonderful wheatgrass, I was horrified at some misinformation referring to ‘removes cancer – causing antioxidants from the blood’ (may have been a typo). I spend a lot of time educating people on the cellular repairing and cancer Fighting properties of Anitioxidants. The quoted selenium is a major one of these antioxidants. Enjoy good health with wheatgrass juice by all means. Ray Beerwah Health Foods Editors Note The comment should have read from the 'freeradicals' and not from the 'antioxidants'. Thanks for picking up the error. Lea

An accident waiting to happen

We read your article on the new facility at Skippy Park where the Council is building a major new recreational park for the community. Funding was obtained from the Federal Government’s National Bike Path program, and as part of this project it’s also to be used by dog owners and people wishing to exercise. While this is great for the Sunshine Coast and local citizens, they will find it extremely dangerous if they are travelling by bike or on foot from Beerwah on Old Landsborough Road, as the bike way/ pedestrian path finishes a good 1.5km from the Landsborough end, and the missing link is an extended part of the shoulder of a very busy road now the overpass is completed. Council and the local representative have been contacted earlier in the year over this matter, and have come up with a painted line indicating that it is to be shared with both bikes and pedestrians, which raises the chances of an accident happening.

Ratepayers demand action

The Moreton Bay Regional Council has gone to great lengths with the extra spending of ratepayers funds on the two page advertisements in all the papers and the upcoming mail out of colour pamphlets to all ratepayers telling us why we need the rail line to Redcliffe and to what a marvellous job they have done in creating vast savings since amalgamation. It goes on to say that because of these savings, the council is in a strong position to fund the $105 million for the rail. At the final water rates protest meeting held by the Ratepayer Action Group at Kallanger on July 25, the Mayor released a breakdown of the return council planned to receive from Unity Water in 2010/11. The super profit council was planning to make was actually $52 million, a 40 per cent increase on last year’s profit of $37 million, when council actually owned the assets! The Action Group believes that council, in order to head off potential embarrassment over the massive size of its expected profit, decided to take only $29 million profit, and portrayed the balance of $23 million, that it decided not to take, as a subsidy to rate payers achieved from amalgamation savings. If Council had not sought this extraordinary return, there would be no need to bring in its ‘water subsidy’. Where is the fairness in all this, when the ratepayers owned all the assets transferred to Unity Water in the first place? So by all means, push for the rail line. The Ratepayer Action Group supports the idea, but wants no ratepayer funds put towards it. We have already contributed to it through this massive ‘water tax’. We are a group of like minded people that have formed ratepayer groups in our areas to take on Unity Water and our local regional council. We have ratepayer groups in Caboolture, Redcliffe, Strathpine, and Arana hills, and are trying to form as many groups as possible to give ratepayers a voice. We have had public forums over the last three months and are planning more in the future, where we have had the CEO of Unity Water and all the local councillors attend and people get their chance to question them. This is an unfair tax and people should stand up against it. Rodney Hanson Chairman, Rateapayer Action Group, Caboolture Phone 0402 369 366. www.theratepayer.com. au

Informal votes

It absolutely amazes me that in a country, where everyone has a free vote, without any fear of retribution, that any individual would choose to cast an informal vote. There are many millions of people in the world that do not have this privilege and they would do anything to gain such an option. I watched a past politician on TV before the election, advising people to cast an informal vote and stating that he was going to do the same. To me, this moron has the intelligence of a wombat and anyone who took notice of his advice is on the same level. Admittedly, some of these informal votes were due to incorrect filling out of the voting papers, but with the publicity of how to do it, on TV and the newspapers, there is no excuse for anyone to plead ignorance. In the end, using simple logic you get the government you vote for. Those of you, who cast

an informal vote, will get the government you did not want. Jerry Landsborough

Facts about the fishing industry

I would like to thank the Editor for the questions asked to the candidates, as the fishing bans are being ignored by other newspapers. The responses were not surprising. The same old sustainable, precautionary principle, we do know stock is becoming a real problem politico babble sentences brought out. Congratulations to LNP for making a stand. There is a lot to gain by politicians (Labor and Green) making out the commercial fishing industry is the bad guy. Scientists jump on board as it keeps them in a job doing reports finding data to back up the Government. This costs the taxpayer millions of dollars that could be spent on hospitals, schools and aged pension recipients. 1. Fishing has the lowest environmental impact of any food production and has nil input cost before harvesting. 2. Extreme overfishing as in Thailand does not lead to collapse; but it does change the ecosystem to much higher production through reduction in higher level predators and large increases in faster growing lower trophic level species. 3. Wild harvest seafood is the only self renewing major food source in the world. 4. There has been no marine species fished to extinction in the world and none in Australia is even remotely threatened in this regard. The Government promotes eating of seafood for the multitude of health benefits it brings and then persecutes Australian fishing families for the sake of the green vote. What would you rather eat? Wild harvest Australian seafood (low eco-miles, antibiotic/ chemical free, caught by a sustainable industry and support local communities) or a foreign product (antibiotic and carcinogenic chemical laden, produced using unsustainable practices and grown in highly polluted rivers and ponds under conditions that would not be allowed in Australia). Please go to Walter Starcks website www. goldendolphin.com to read articles regarding the Fishing Industry in Australia. Vicky Bribie Island

What is it?

Further to a story in last week’s edition of GCNews, when members of GMAN were planting some more Richmond Birdwing Butterfly vines in Settlers Park we came across this brightly coloured larvae.

We did it again!!

The Antique Angels completed their fourth year participating in the Great Endeavour Rally run by the Endeavour Foundation. The team each year is comprised of Colleen Clifford and Tricia Back from Glass House Mountains and Jenny Malcolm from Perth. This year the girls travelled from Burleigh Heads to Bargara via the bays, bush and beaches driving the beautiful North Coast of NSW and continuing inland through NSW into Qld and completing the Rally in Bargara. The Angels completed the rally in a Subaru 1998 Forester, all wheel drive, which also saw them travel to Cape York last year. The Angels have not only had a wonderful time raising much deserved funds for a great charity, but have acquired some awards along the way. This year the Angels were awarded the Ambassador Award for the Great Endeavour Rally, which was a great honour. Along with this award, the girls came second in the Cruise Course daily competitions and had previously achieved Outright Cruise Winners in 2008 along with Class ‘A’ winners in the first three years. The Great Endeavour Rally is a major fundraiser for the Endeavour Foundation, which supports people living with an intellectual disability. Each year the Rally travels a different course, and participants work hard at fundraising much needed funds by any means they can, as well as gaining sponsorship. Over the past year the Antique Angels (and their other halves) have spent most Saturday’s sausage sizzling outside the Good Guys at Kawana.

Pyjama Drive

I wish to thank all those residents who contributed to the Pyjama Drive this year. All up, more than 180 sets of sleepwear were dropped into my electorate office over the course of the campaign. It was great to see community groups get very involved: the Sunshine Coast Doll Bear Craft and Miniature Club delivered 33 pairs; the Buderim View Club collected 60 sets, and Minyama resident Dawn Stockland personally sewed 14 pairs of pyjamas. Well done to everyone and thanks. The Pyjama Foundation will give the clothing to children in foster care, to give them some comfort in unfamiliar surroundings.

Groceries

Large grocery suppliers have embarked on programmes whereby unsaleable food items are considered for distribution to charities that can use the food to help feed those in the community who are struggling and need a helping hand. Woolworths is one such organisation that has vowed to do more for the needy, including a recently-established $2million grants scheme for charities. It is looking for charities that may be eligible for funding. To make enquiries, please contact freshfoodrescue@woolworths.com.au or 02-8885 3446

Earth Dreams Magic

Just a reminder that the Hinterland Business Centre has produced a wonderful book called ‘Earth Dreams Magic – A journey through the Blackall Range Region’, which showcases many creative and artistic attractions, activities and people in the hinterland area. The book is a great record of the creative side of the region, and I encourage readers to consider buying a copy for themselves. They are available from Hinterland Business Centre in Coral Street, Maleny, and also at Rosetta Books in Maleny. I congratulate the Hinterland Business Centre for coordinating the project and the many other people who gave their time and expertise to the project to ensure it is such an impressive publication.

MORE than 5,000 people have signed a petition to retain the Caloundra Aerodrome on its present site. The petition was handed to Sunshine Coast Council member Tim Dwyer at the Caloundra Helicentre on Friday, August 20. This is a strong message to the council – as well as the State Government – that the residents of Caloundra recognise and appreciate the economic and social benefits the aerodrome brings to the city. It also presents an opportunity for the council to stand up to the State Government which would like to see the aerodrome go, to help bring its plans for the huge, unwanted and largely un-researched Caloundra South development to fruition. The aerodrome land is owned by the State Government with the Sunshine Coast Council as trustee. The council has now been given the authority to determine whether to sell the land or not and that decision is expected to be imminent. If that happens it’s goodbye to the iconic Queensland Air Museum and the air cadets, as well as about $40 million a year which the aerodrome injects into the local economy. It’s also goodbye to their jobs for more than 225 people and one can imagine the on-going impact that will have on their families and friends. The petition spells crunch time for the council and 5,000 people will be eagerly awaiting its decision. The Caloundra aerodrome, the air museum and Air Cadets are a part of the fabric of our society and they must be retained.

Beerwah surgery petition

Help make access easier

Thank you to the patients of the Beerwah Surgery for sending my office a petition alerting me to the need for a disability car parking space in Simpson Street, in close proximity to the medical facilities. An on-site meeting with a council engineer and Beerwah Surgery Practice Manager June Bell discussed the issue and the legislative requirements for the parking arrangements. Disability car parking areas are specific in terms of size, ramping and height needed away from awnings. A new parking space will be created at the end of the current medical precinct in the space closest to the Pathology. I will pay for this out of Division 1 Emergent Funding.

Beerwah State High School Dinner

Our annual tradition of supporting Year 12 students as they prepare for their graduation was a huge success. Held at the Beerwah RSL Club, guests were treated to a sumptuous dinner prepared by the hospitability students and overseen by the chef. Other students served meals to their families as well as to their teachers and invited guests. It was clear from the many wonderful raffles that our young people are well supported by the businesses of the Glasshouse Country region. In just over 10 weeks, our Year 12s finalise their education at Beerwah State High school and we wish them well with their future careers of choice. Congratulations to the Beerwah RSL Management Board and Manager Mary Kilkenny for their generosity in hosting this annual fundraising celebration.

Letters of Support

I am always happy to provide letters of support for community groups who are applying for grants. Please send a brief email or letter to my office, outlining the benefits of the project that you are seeking funding for and some facts on the great service your organisation provides to the community. My office contact details are; hilary.wallace@sunshinecoast. qld.gov.au or Locked Bag 72, Sunshine Coast Mail Centre, Qld, 4560. Please note that letters of support are not required for council grants.

FREE Entry & Parking

The Sippy Highway Access Group is inviting residents concerned about the safety of accessing the Bruce Highway to join them in helping to find a solution. I will be attending as many of the meetings as I can. The group are involved in a range of traffic safety initiatives to help improve access to the motorway, and the highway for residents in the Tanawha, Sippy Creek, Glenview and Palmview areas. To find out more call Carol 0429 497 553 or Sharon 0419 763 463.

Protecting our fauna

A project to help reduce the number of native animals injured or killed on our roads is starting this week with work on the Mountain View Road fauna underpass underway. The underground path will link bushland to the state forest providing a safe way for animals such as pademelons to cross the road. The $160,000 project is part of a larger $572,000 grant to install traffic calming devices outside Mary Cairncross Park and is expected to take about six months to complete. Watch out for the changed traffic measures during this period.

Have you been vaccinated for measles? Queensland Health is urging all Queensland residents to ensure they have been vaccinated for measles, after cases were confirmed in Tweed Heads, Gympie and Moranbah. Queensland Health Communicable Diseases Branch Senior Director Dr Christine Selvey said the measles virus had been confirmed in a Tweed Heads resident who visited a Coolangatta fast food outlet on August 21. Dr Selvey said public health officers are trying to identify people who may have been exposed so they can be given appropriate advice, but it is not possible to identify everyone who may have had passing contact with one of the cases. Measles is one of the most infectious of all communicable diseases, and can be acquired in public places such as shopping centres or on public transport if infectious people are present. Queensland Health recommends anyone born during or since 1966, who has not had two documented doses of Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) vaccine or had proven measles, to visit their local GP for a free extra vaccination.

Measles is extremely infectious and is spread by tiny droplets through coughing and sneezing. The virus can last for several hours in the environment. It can be a severe illness even in otherwise healthy adolescents and young adults. The initial symptoms are: fever, lethargy, runny nose, moist cough and sore, red eyes, followed a few days later by a blotchy red rash while still feverish; the rash starts on the face then becomes widespread. Symptoms usually started around 10 days after infection. “Anyone that develops measles-like symptoms in the next few weeks should contact their GP for advice, particularly if they have recently been in Coolangatta, Moranbah and in areas between Surfers Paradise and Gympie. For more information on the measles virus, please contact your local GP or call Queensland Health’s phone line 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84).

Do painkillers make headaches worse?

glasshouse mts

Almost everyone has suffered from a headache at some point in time, however, regular use of over-the-counter painkillers can actually cause more frequent and severe headaches, according to research just released by consumer group CHOICE.

Although over-the-counter analgesic medications such as paracetamol, aspirin and ibuprofen are generally safe and provide temporary relief of symptoms, doctors are increasingly seeing the effects of analgesic overuse – in particular headaches caused, paradoxically, by the very medications taken to treat them.

Arthritic symptoms Back pain Headaches/migraines Joint Injuries Neck Pain Sprains/strains Stress/tension Tendonitis Treatment available in your home or at Beerwah Health Foods

Lesa Medhurst Ph 0419 969 387 elem5@bigpond.com

CHOICE has also questioned whether painkillers can really target different parts of the body and discovered the ingredients of analgesic products are often identical.

“A product marketed for back pain doesn’t only go to your back. It will treat any pain, anywhere, which just goes to show you don’t need to empty your wallet by filling your medicine cupboard up with a different painkiller for each part of the body.”

When used correctly, painkillers can be helpful for people with chronic headaches. But CHOICE found regular use of painkillers may alter the processing of pain signals in the brain, making you more sensitive to pain and affecting how your brain naturally deals with it. “In response, you take more painkillers – and the cycle continues. After a while, your body becomes used to the presence of a certain level of the drug and stopping it results in withdrawal,” says Zinn.

It's Dad's Day! Backyard Dad's Day with Brownie Dads like to be spoilt. They may not say so – in fact most will get all blokey when asked what they’d like for Fathers Day. “Just to watch the footy in peace,” my Dad used to say. But deep down they really, really want something special just for them. What Dad doesn’t love a gift that makes his life easier? There are plenty of big-boys toys available for Dad to use in the shed and garden – check out the great range of items at Beerwah Small Engines and the Big Mower. For the Action Dad, that likes a bit of a dirt bike adrenaline rush, Beerwah’s Dirt Thirst has plenty of great accessories that will make Dad more comfortable and safe – but most of all he’ll look really cool (and for Dad, that’s the most important thing). If your Dad’s a backyard Dad, he’ll always have a project on the go, and so a gardening or landscaping magazine could be the bees-knees for him. There’s a huge range available – just take a look through the aisles of Beerwah Newsagency and you’re bound to find the perfect one for your Dad. On Father’s Day, what Dad wouldn’t love a bit of time to kick back and enjoy lunch with the family? It’s as easy as picking up some prawns from Hinterland Seafoods, set up the picnic table in the backyard to let Dad relax with a nice cold beer and enjoy his day. Whatever you pick out, if it’s chosen with love and affection it will make your Dad’s day. And doesn’t he deserve it once a year – even if he is an old grump for the other 364 days. Happy Fathers Day!

It's Dad's Day! Just like in the human world, in the animal kingdom there is a wide variety of parenting styles when it comes to fathers. Some are brilliant fathers while others leave a lot to be desired.

Do you recognise yourself in any of the following animal fathers? One devoted dad is the Emperor Penguin. They keep the eggs on their feet and covered with their body at all times. He can go for months at a time without a meal because if they let the egg touch the freezing ground the embryo can die. flickr photo: 'Emperor Penguins' by Nick J Webb

Unlike depicted in The Lion King, the Lion isn’t exactly a good dad. In the pride the females are the ones maintaining the pride and assuming most of the responsibility for hunting and rearing the young. Ducks won’t be winning any awards either. Most male ducks live as bachelors. Once the female lays her eggs she will keep them warm while the male ducks will go and hang out with the other male ducks. The most extraordinary animal would have to be the Seahorse. It is one of the only males in the animal world to get pregnant! The female deposits her eggs into his brood, then he fertilises the eggs and carries them to term. Now he gets to be the Father of the Year.

What animal father are you?

In the running for Father of The Year is the Namaqua Sandgrouse (bird). During the incubation period, he sits on the nest at night. After the chicks hatch the mother leaves the family to fend for themselves. The birds live in arid desert areas and the young chicks cannot make it to water, so the dad brings it to them. His feathers can absorb water, so he dips his feathers then returns to the nest so his chicks can drink. The Rheas (bird) isn’t a loyal mate, courting between two and 12 females, but they are great dads. The male incubates the eggs and when the chicks are born, he is very protective. He raises the chicks completely on his own and teaches them how to fend for themselves. Perhaps the closest to human behaviour is the Wolf. The father will stand guard while the mother gives birth to their pups. He then brings them all food. As they grow he plays with the pups and teaches them how to survive. Wolves then continue to live together as a family.

It’s that special time of the year where we get to say ‘thanks Dad’ for all those moments that may have been taken for granted. It’s hard to know who’ll have more fun this year at Gowinta Farms Fathers Day weekend, Dad or the kids? Saturday and Sunday will be Dad’s chance to get out of the house with the kids with a free jumping castle, free face painting, strawberry picking, and Dad gets to ride the farm tour free. It’s Dads chance to kick back with the newspaper and enjoy the day with the family. The Sunshine Coast’s largest strawberry farm owner Leonard Smith says Fathers Day normally consists of the yearly block of Lindt chocolate and day on the farm with threeyear-old son Buster. “There’s only a few days each year that means something to me and Fathers Day’s is one of them,” he said. It’s about the only day of the year this 3rd generation farmer

Rob is now a local from Dayboro. He is a real country boy, having grown up at Middlemount in Central Queensland, where he studied music. Rob has been a backing musician for some of the biggest names in Australian country music, such as Lee Kernaghan and Adam Brand. His first solo album, ‘Regular Guy’, was a huge success. Then he launched his second album, ‘Hey Tomorrow’ in May at the Urban Country Music Festival and it has since zoomed up the charts. Now with two successful solo albums under his belt, Rob Black is set to be ‘the next big thing’ in country music. Some say Rob Black is Australia’s best lead guitarist – his ability needs to be seen to be believed. Rob performs country music in great style, his energy excites and engages his audience, and with his three piece band, the Rob Black Show is the best night you’ll have. See him live and free at the Beerwah Hotel on Sunday, September 11 from 8.00pm.

Out & about in Glasshouse country The buzz at Beerwah Library

It doesn’t matter what day of the week you visit, it seems there’s always plenty happening down at Beerwah Library. Last week, we caught up with some of the participants who were busy learning about the finer points of using the internet, just one of the many free courses on offer. Beverley Gregory of Beerwah said she wanted to do the course to learn more about using the internet after her daughter gave her a computer. "This way, I can keep in regular contact with my family and friends across Australia and New Zealand,” she said. Roy Phillips of Mt Mellum said he had a computer at home, and wanted to be able to utilise it more. “Being a retiree, I’ve got the time to play with it, so I wanted to learn how to use the internet properly,” Roy said.

Jeanette Van Der Heide said the computer classes at the library had given her greater confidence to use her computer. "I’ve used the computers here at the library for the past couple of years, and now I’ve got my own at home, so I came along to the course with a list of questions,” she said. Sylvia Stevens of Mt Mellum, said she eventually wanted to write her life story, and was keen to learn how to use the internet to research her family history and share photographs. “I had a computer years ago but there was no internet access, so this course gives me the opportunity to learn all about it,” Sylvia said. For all the details of the variety of free courses on offer at Beerwah Library, give them a call on 5494 0221, and stay tuned for information about the new courses coming soon, including Skype, and online buying and selling.

relationship. More than that, sometimes tragically we discover, too late, that our time has run out and we have never gotten around to doing anything about our relationship with God. Jesus tells the story about a man, who through good luck becomes amazingly rich. His only worry was what do about his newfound wealth. He decided to invest wisely and that way all he would have to do is worry about eating, drinking and enjoying life. But God in the story calls him a fool because that night he died. I am sure the rich man didn’t plan to die that night it’s just that sometimes these things happen. Jesus concludes this story by saying, “So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.” The man in the story had spent his entire life fobbing off having to get his life right with God and one day it was too late. One of the reasons why Jesus tells this story is to encourage us not to put off doing something about God. So don’t put Him off any longer why don’t you do something about Him now? It’s sort of like finishing a newspaper column you didn’t want to write - it feels good after you have done it.

Glasshouse Country Ministers Fellowship

To my embarrassment I have to admit that I hate writing newspaper columns. It’s not because I don’t see any value with them, as a matter of fact the opposite is true. Rather, the reason I hate writing columns is because it’s hard work. Not only do I have to think of something to say but then I have to write it down, edit it and then get someone else to look at what I’ve written- and inevitably they criticise it and tell me to do it again, or they find that elusive spelling mistake, and then I have to get onto the internet and send it off etc etc. So the reason I hate writing these columns is because it is hard work so it’s easier not to. The trouble is the more I put off writing these columns the more stressed I feel, and the harder it is to then find the motivation to actually sit down and write them. As a matter of fact the more I put off writing them the easier it becomes to put off writing them. And the more reasons I find not to sit down and write them. For example, do you know how good cold pizza tastes when it’s in competition with writing this column? It’s the same when it comes with getting our lives right with God.

Sunday savings at the bowser The RACQ has warned south-east Queensland motorists to keep a close eye on service station price boards to avoid paying too much for petrol. Spokesman Gary Fites said that ‘savings Sunday’ was currently the cheapest day of the week to fill up in the south-east – representing a big shift from the once traditional ‘cheap Tuesday’. “We’ve seen the low point in the region’s weekly price cycle progressively move later into the week in recent months,” Mr Fites said.

THE BUYING VERSUS RENTING DEBATE The pros and cons of buying your own home versus renting and channelling surplus funds into investments are both financial and emotional. While some may suggest that the great Australian dream of owning your own home is not as relevant as it used to be, it is still a goal for the majority of people. When considering which approach has the most merit – buying or renting and investing – the two concepts should not be mutually exclusive. Many people want to buy their own home from a security perspective, but they also recognise that a solid level of equity in their own home can

be the foundation for long-term wealth creation. This may be through the purchase of other properties to rent out, or through the creation of a diversified share portfolio. The family home can be a great springboard for either. Paying off the family home also provides a valuable asset that is exempt from Capital Gains Tax. Renting may be an attractive option for those who want to avoid the costs of maintaining a property or want the flexibility to move without the costs and hassles associated with selling a property. Renting may also be a good option for people who want to

live in a suburb close to the city or the beach but can’t afford to buy a property in that area. You could buy a property in an adjoining suburb which isn’t as expensive (but still has good scope for capital growth) and rent that out while you rent a property in your preferred suburb. The key to this strategy is ensuring the money saved on mortgage repayments and maintenance costs is channelled into some other form of investment – either property or shares. The commitment of a reasonable and appropriate level of debt can actually drive people to look at

ways of earning more money or better managing their funds.

Many people find paying off a mortgage is a form of enforced savings; a lot of people just don’t have the discipline to save and invest if they are renting. The most important thing is to be doing something proactive about creating wealth for you and your family. The biggest mistake people make Call Adviser Teresa Harrison. is doing nothing, so if you’d like T: 5422 9458 or 0410 648 098 to take action to start or continue www.smartline.com.au/tharrison investing for long-term wealth creation, now may be the perfect time to talk with your Smartline Personal Mortgage Adviser.

Complete your new kitchen with a brand new appliance package, we offer a wide range of packages to suit your budget. You don’t need to purchase a new kitchen to take advantage of these appliance packages.

Every person’s dream

Have you ever dreamed of having a house with a picket fence? Then look no more…this house is just so attractive when you pull up at the front! Sitting behind the picket fence is this lovely Queenslander, and with the established gardens framing her, she is as pretty as a picture. The house sits on 3,622m2 of flat useable land. The back garden is set out well with so much room that you could add a pool if you wanted and still have room for the family to have its own cricket pitch. There is a wide driveway that gives you very good access to the back area where you will find two extra large garages that will house up to eight cars and to add to that there is also a large double carport with the extra height so that it can take a caravan or a boat with room to spare. Now for the house itself – the home has been very well maintained with three good size bedrooms, two with built-in robes, one bathroom but a second toilet, two nice size living areas, the kitchen is at the rear of the house so you look out onto the garden while cooking the family meal.

APPLIANCES PACKAGES from $1021.00 inc GST

The verandah has been closed in so this makes for a lot of extra living space. The house has some great bonuses such as solar electric panels on the roof as well as your own bore and water tank. If you're looking for something with character and charm with the added bonus of space close to town, give the sole listing agent, Denise Hartfield from Laurie Evans Real Estate Pty Ltd a call on 0414 314 015 or 5494 1488.

Build your dream today

This level and gently sloping 6731m2 block is nicely tucked away at the end of a long driveway and boasts a 6m x 6m shed complete with power, water and phone connected. This picturesque block also has two dams, a bore and town water as well so you can rest easy, even in dry times. The elevated home site is perfectly positioned to take in the lovely outlook over one of the dams, and beyond to the 110 hardwood trees that create an additional privacy buffer, or alternatively, an additional income if you wish to have them milled. All this, located just minutes to Mooloolah’s shops, school and rail link and still only 15 minutes to Caloundra’s beaches, restaurants and shopping. $385,000.

Ear Infections COMMUNITY RECYCLING INC

Spring into September and start recycling at home In the next week or so you will see what we have done with the old frame from the back of our old Ute, I’ll leave you with a hint – Sydney Harbour! This exciting new piece of art will be on display for you very soon. Let’s start with the leaves lying around home after winter. It’s time to remove the leaves from the gutters and the top of your water tanks to prepare for the fire season. Use the old leaves in your compost area, or to start a compost area. Compost areas don’t smell and they’re not an area to breed annoying insects. Why compost when I can put the rubbish in the bin? This was a question we were asked some time ago. So we invited them to the site to look at the benefits. These are some of the benefits of recycling through composting: you reduce the quantity of rubbish going to landfill, your bin won’t be as smelly, and you are making food for your garden through waste. You only need one person to start and make a difference. What can I put into the compost area? All food scraps (except for dairy and meat), egg shells and paper. You can also put the potato, onion and orange peel into the out door brazier with the wood to burn then add the ash to your compost. Why not use recycled items in your garden? These are some of the things we have used. A 44 gallon drum was made into a plant, a fish is dangling in a bird cage and lots more. Why not make an appointment and bring your club or group down for a visit. You will be very surprised. We have had visits from aged care, garden clubs, and business groups, schools, church groups, social groups, art groups, visitors from other countries, visitors from other councils and the general public. Remember to bring your old clothing/fabrics down and place them into one of the orange recycling bins on site. It’s a myth that only good clothing can be recycled. All clothing /materials can be recycled with the exception of soiled wool and nylon items. Remember not to put green waste into the general rubbish bin and the next generation will reap the benefits. Place the green waste into the brown lidded bins only. Come down and talk to one of us Monday to Friday – ring first 5494 6798.

Cats and Dogs like us can suffer ear infections which can become severely painful if not treated correctly. Typical signs of an ear infection include constant head shaking, holding his head on an angle and if the infection has become severe scratching at the ears which can cause them to bleed and develop a secondary infection. In some cases you may notice a smelly discharge from the ear ranging from yellow to dark brown in colour. Types and causes of ear irritations: Mites: A common cause of ear irritation is ear mites (Otodectes), a tiny microscopic parasite that burrows into the ear canal causing skin to become inflamed and infected as the mites feed on debris and wax in the canal area. Antibiotics and a miticide prescribed by your vet will treat this condition. Some topical spot on treatments act as a preventative for ear mites. Ask your local vet for advice. Infection: A typical ear infection originates from bacterial, fungal or yeast. It is possible that your pet can have more than one type of infection present in their ear canal. These types of infections can cause smelly discharge. Your vet can conduct a smear test to decipher the origin of the infection to ensure the correct antibiotic is prescribed.

Allergy and Foreign Body present in canal Like skin conditions, ear conditions can originate from allergic reactions. Common causes are insect bites (eg: fleas, mosquitos), coming into contact with a substance or consumption of a food source. Outer ear (pinna) allergic reactions can cause your pet to constantly scratch at their ear flap. Once again constant scratching can lead to bleeding and secondary infection so it is important to seek veterinary advice as soon as possible and start treatment as early as possible. Grass seeds are a common foreign body that can become lodged in the ear canal causing your pet to shake their head vigorously and scratch at the ears. As the ear is very sensitive it is best to have your vet examine the ear and remove the foreign body if it has become lodged. Ear infections can be treated quickly and easily when they are in the initial stages. If left untreated treatment can become very costly and could lead to requiring surgery, not to mention your pet will be in extreme pain. Leaving ear conditions untreated can lead to your pet developing an Aural haematoma as a result of constant head shaking and scratching which causes blood vessels to burst and large swelling. Lastly it is a good idea to use an ear cleaner regularly to keep the ear canal clean and free of debris, ask your vet for advice on what to use for your pet.

With thanks REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence I fly to you, O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, please do not despite my petitions but in your mercy hear and answer them. Amen.

Glasshouse Hinterland Lions teams in grand final Contributed by Vicki Bauer

Sign on dates:

This Sunday two of the local AFL teams from Glasshouse Hinterland Lions will be heading into the grand final and hungry to win the Premiership. Both teams beat Pomona in nail biting competition at the home ground in Landsborough. Glasshouse Under 12 defeated Pomona 9-7-61 to 8-6-54 and the Under 16 team Hinterland Lions in action defeated them 14-14-98 to 14-8-92. Now they will be heading off to Fisherman’s Road, Maroochydore to try to bring another two flags home to hang on the clubroom wall with the three that are there already. For some of the boys in the Under 16 team it will be their third grand final, from 2006, 2008 and 2010. The Sunday semi-final of the Under 16 team also saw player Billy Bryant head the team through the banner for his 100th game with the club. Congratulations to Billy. He was awarded a medallion to keep with his sporting trophies and the match ball.The Under 14 team also fought hard during the semi-final against Gympie coming very close to a win, but unfortunately they didn’t quite make it to the next stage. The scores were 7-6-48 to 7-10-52, a 4 point loss keeping the crowd on edge to the end. The Glasshouse Hinterland AFC hosted six semi-finals over the weekend at their magnificent ground at Tunnel Ridge Road, in Landsborough. Many comments were made on Friday night from the public about how picturesque the ground looks at night under lights.

In the first half the boys had some opportunities to score points but the Sharks held them out to go to the Break Down 6 - 0. After half time the Sharks came out on fire and scored some quick tries to establish a lead of 26 - 0 and looked like running right away with the game. To our boys credit they fought back to score a couple of late tries and make the final score 26 12 to the Sharks. Domino’s Pizza Players Player was Jamie Newton. Semi Final time also for the Sunshine Coast Junior Rugby League and Beerwah Bulldogs have two teams in the hunt for Premiership Glory with the Under 12’s winning their way to the Grand Final with a thrilling extra time victory over Kawana 24 - 22.
