Hi Everyone
T
his week’s cover story is about a local writer Jo Barrett who has an essay included in the current edition of the prestigious journal ‘Griffith REVIEW’. Recently I was contacted by the journal’s publicist and told that a local writer had been featured and asked if we would be interested in writing a story. They would be more than happy to arrange an interview with the writer if we wanted. It made me smile how different our world is to that of working in a national publication – as opposed to a community such as ours.

My initial response – I was just so please for Jo knowing how great it was that her work had been included in the publication and oh yeah of course we would be doing a story! And no I would probably be okay to contact her myself having known her for the past eight years in a number of roles, including a short contact with us doing proofreading when a staff member was on maternity leave! I then thought I’d have to call her on Thursday, as I knew that the following morning was a Wednesday and she would be up at Bankfoot House as part of working with Friends of Bankfoot House – I didn’t mention that to the publicist as I didn’t want to sound too small townish!

Adventurous life By Lea Parkes
Recently I was contacted by a publicist from the journal ‘Griffith REVIEW’ letting me know that local author Joanna Talberg (known locally as Jo Barrett) had contributed a memoir into their most recent edition – ‘Tasmania – The Tipping Point’ about her time living and farming in North Western Tasmania.

And that she would be doing a reading of selections of the essay at the Queensland launch of the current journal at the Avid Reader in West End on Thursday of next week. This prestigious publication is a quarterly journal that describes itself as “celebrating good writing and promoting public debate”. Each edition reflects a single theme and includes essays, reporting, memoirs, fiction, poetry and photography from Australia's best emerging and established writers. When local writer Jo Barrett saw the theme for the edition, she was keen to have work included as she is currently working on a non-fiction story about her time at Top End farm in the North West of Tasmania in the 1970s. So it seemed like a perfect opportunity. Titled ‘Stratus Anxiety – at the end of the track', Jo’s essay featured some of the experiences they faced during the two and a half years she and Peter lived at the isolated cattle farm, a two hour drive out of the town Zeehan. Jo, who describes her childhood as that of an only child who grew up with over protective parents and few adventures, was inspired to spread her wings and seek out new experiences and opportunities. She has always been fascinated by nature and it’s sustaining qualities. So moving from Canberra where she had lived and gone to university, to living in the harsh but beautiful landscape of North West Tasmania certainly appealed to her sense of excitement. After reading the essay and getting an insight

FAMILY BUILDE DESEN QBSA: 81205 RS N U QBSA NO: 19404 B Jo Barrett with the publication into the challenges they faced, it is easy to see why the next area they chose to farm was here in Glasshouse Country, with our sub-tropical climate, easy access to markets, and good farming land, local shops etc. Clearly their decision to move to Beerwah in 1979 proved a winner, for the first thirty years they made their living from farming peaches and nectarines and over the past five years they have both taken on other work locally – they definitely have their roots firmly planted here and cannot imagine living anywhere else. Jo is currently undertaking a Graduate Diploma in Creative Writing at the University of the Sunshine Coast. Her work-in-progress is a book-length memoir titled Bush Antics. Having completed the first draft and now in the editing stage, Jo thinks her book is still six months away from completion, which of course once it is published GCNews will be making sure everyone knows about it. Jo describes herself as growing up wanting adventure but got more than I bargained for. If you would like to read Jo’s essay and would like to purchase the Griffith REVIEW, it is available at the bookshop in Caloundra at the top of Bulcock Street.

Her talent has definitely made an impression on Talent scout Alison Goodwin as she has been chosen to represent Australia at the World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA) to be held in Hollywood, LA in July this year. WCOPA is like the Olympics of the Performing Arts world, it is a massive event that runs over 15 days from July 5 to July 21 and is now in its 18th year. Both Britney and her mum Tracey are really excited about this amazing opportunity – and dedicated mum Tracey is now keen at work fundraising so that she and Britney can go. While Britney knows that there will be plenty tough competition, with contestants coming from over 40 individual countries, she will be working hard to prepare herself for her competition performances. The competition incorporates 15 separate categories and Britney will be competing in the junior section of the Broadway, Gospel, Jazz, Opera and Open categories. Britney will be part of Team Australia which is made up of just over 30 students. Four of them from Goodwin Performing Arts at Maroochydore have been chosen for the team.

Floodraiser dynamo
Special thanks to businesses
By Lea Parkes
Last week’s GCNews front cover featured Beerwah local Alicia McNamara and the team that assisted her in her Floodraiser 2013 event, including fiancé Matt Purontakanen and mates Amanda Johnston and Sam Engle. Once Alicia decided to fundraise to help the people and animals that were affected by the floods she basically went into ‘Action Woman’ mode not letting anything stand in her way. Giving herself less than three weeks, Alicia had to find a venue, organise entertainment, find a face painter, get prizes and donations, organise a raffle, and find someone to turn the sausages on the barbeque. As well as promote the event and another million little tasks in the lead up. On the day she was also there of course, making sure everything ran smoothly. School friends from Beerwah High Gavin Jamieson and Chris Goodrich who perform under the name of The Jammin Sons quickly agreed to donate their time and perform on their day. Alicia said everyone was just amazing. “Steve Holmes from the Beerwah Hotel was happy to assist and we just had so many generous offers of prize donations from so many businesses both local and outside of the area. I just can’t thank them enough for their support,” she said. Fiancé Matt was allocated the job of sausage cooker and was rapt on the day to get an assistant in Mal Brough who was happy to lend a hand.
Matt Purontaknen, Alicia McNamara, Sam Engle and Amanda Johnston at the ‘Floodraiser’ event Mal has been keen to support Queensland Farmers who have been devastated by the effects of Cyclone Oswald. He’s also been encouraging locals to purchase locally grown produce and help them to get back on their feet, through his work with wwwhelpqldfaermers.com.au You can also check out their Facebook page ‘Help QLD Farmers’. Alicia had set herself a target of raising $2,000.00 for the Red Cross Flood appeal and the RSPCA. She totally blitzed that amount, bringing in nearly $2,500.00. This definitely put a smile on her face and no doubt will also do so for those that benefit from Alicia’s efforts.

Time for a change of ‘bad’ behavior By Greg Brown GCNews received a Facebook message last week highlighting a problem which is probably more common in our region than any of us would like it to be. ‘Hi guys. Coochin Creek Reserve that runs around the back of Woodgrove Estate is constantly being polluted by litterbug twits! Can you please share this and hopefully some action can be taken and the idiots who keep doing this will be found.’ KJ, Beerwah Roger Callen, convenor of the Coochin Creek Reserve Bushland group, said that each time they have a working bee in the reserve, they have to spend some of the time collecting the rubbish left behind by others. “Drink cans, bottles and containers, food wrappers and plastic bags seem to be the most common litter," he said. “Broken glass, bits of metal and other sharp things can be a real health and safety problem for the volunteers and the kids who use the swimming hole. “We’re really happy that people want to use the area as a peaceful recreation place, but it’s disappointing to think that a handful of them don’t respect the natural beauty enough to simply take their rubbish with them when they go home,” said Roger. Even our local Division 1 Councillor Rick Baberowski, does his bit each morning to clean up. Rick goes walking around his neighbourhood with the dog lead in one hand and a garbage bag in the other.
“It shows that it’s probably a very small percentage of people who are doing the wrong thing, but they are doing the same thing repeatedly. “I’d say that a part of whoever is doing the littering knows that it is the wrong thing to do. I’d ask them to think about the harm they are doing to our local environment and possibly our local tourism economy." “The littering may give visitors the message that we’re a messy community who don’t care about our surroundings, which is definitely not what I’ve come to know about us." Rick is working to reinvigorate the ‘Pick it Up’ program Council commenced in cooperation with insurance company Youi and other Sunshine Coast businesses. “One of the proactive strategies in the battle against litter is for us to show that we won’t tolerate our communities being trashed. “By simply picking up litter when you’re out walking and creating a cleaner neighbourhood, it’s hoped that litterbugs will see how much the locals care about their area, and they'll have second thoughts about their irresponsible behaviour,” he said.
Another way you can help is by getting involved in one of the Clean Up Australia day activities being held locally on Sunday, March 3. • Landsborough - Old Maleny Road.

Night of fun to help firies
Watching the images of the bush fires affecting our Southern neighbours in January reminded us how important a role the Rural Firies play in our community. Not all of us have what it takes to be a volunteer; however the Sunshine Girls have come up with another way that we can help the Glass House Mountains and Beerwah Rural Fire Service. The best part is that it involves having a good time, maybe a few drinks, some dancing, entertainment, winning some prizes and a great three course meal. The ladies have organised a fabulous Dinner Dance to be held on March 23 at the Glasshouse Mountains Sports Club from 7.00pm for a 7.30pm start. You can expect a mix of entertainment including Rock and Roll dancers, a group of performers from a Men’s Choir, as well singing by two talented youth performers from Beerwah High.
February only. For 6-18 year olds. By appointment only
The Sunshine Girls have put together some fabulous fundraising ideas for the night – and when they try and sell you a $20.00 ticket in their lucky dip, you will soon see that it is definitely not a kid’s game! You will receive a lucky number from 1 – 100 with each number representing a prize to at least the value of the ticket but someone will take home a prize valued at $1,500.00! Also there will be ‘lucky keys’ for $5.00 – one of the keys will open a lock on a bar fridge full of beer which will no doubt make someone feel lucky. Tickets are $50.00 a head, and include a three course meal with a bottle of red and white wine on each of the tables. To purchase tickets please contact Kay Farrell on 5493 0230 or 0409 071 007.

Beerwah Lions Club News
Contributed by Bob Banner For the Beerwah Lions, February has been a busy month so far, with 202 kilograms of empty aluminum cans collected and sent off for recycling. Save sight Chairperson Gwen Kippen reported that 100 pairs of used spectacle have also been collected. The spectacles will now be graded at the Lions Redcliffe facility before being sent off to under privileged countries. Anyone wanting to donate their old glasses can leave them at the Glasshouse or Landsborough pharmacies, or Spec-Savers in Beerwah. The clubs February dinner meeting was well attended by Lions and their partners as well as several prospective new members. Guest speaker was Haley Grady who’d travelled up from the Gold Coast. Haley, who is the president of the Forest lakes Lions Club, gave a dynamic address on the need to recruit younger people into Lions Clubs to ensure that the community service provided by Lions will continue well into the future. The Beerwah Club does have several vacancies, and anyone over the age of 18 who’d like to enjoy the world wide fellowship of the Lions Organisation is cordially invited to contact Membership Chairman Bob Banner on 5494 9080.

February Floods
Many GCNews readers started the month of February recovering from days without power, phone or internet, and possibly feeling the effects of local flooding. Bureau of Meteorology records show that while over time there have been floods in the Stanley and Brisbane rivers in every month of the year, often with associated flooding in the coastal streams, February stands out as the month for floods. Best known are the floods of February 1893, which devastated Brisbane and coastal Queensland. In a strange twist of fate which was probably lost on local residents at the time, as they battled with their immediate problems, the 1893 flood put our district on the map and into the history books. Through a day and night of torrential rain, a young Inigo Jones, living with his parents on their farm at Crohamhurst, measured 35.7 inches (907mm), an Australian 24 hour rainfall record which still stands to this day. Inigo wrote later that this experience gave a ‘natural salute’ to his interest in meteorology, leading to his career as a long range weather forecaster. The Sunday Mail of February 3, 1935 includes an interesting news item:
This was bad enough – flood at the Stanley River Bridge on January 27, 2013 (photo by Debbie Mangan)
'Now, That WAS Rain!' The flood of '93 celebrated its 42nd 'birthday' yesterday, and Brisbane citizens who attended a stump-capping ceremony at a new observatory being erected for Mr. Inigo Jones, at Crohamhurst, near Peachester, ate slices of a birthday cake baked to celebrate the anniversary. On February 4, 1893, Mr. Jones measured at Crohamhurst, in the Upper Stanley watershed, the highest rainfall ever recorded in one day in Australia, and the fourth highest in the world. On that historic day, 36in of rain fell in 24 hours, and 6 1/2 ft of rain were recorded in four days. Mr. Jones estimated that the volume of water that fell in the immediate neighbourhood, drained by three creeks, was equal to a stream 40 ft deep, 1000 ft wide, and 40 miles long.' If we were to have a celebration now, 120 years later in February 2013, perhaps we should celebrate our good fortune in NOT experiencing such enormous rainfall, and avoiding the disasters which have occurred in many other Queensland centres.
Peachester History Committee meets at the Peachester Hall on the first Sunday of the month. If you would like more information please contact Helen Page 5494 9557 or Jan Gresham 5494 2301.

Contributed by Ursula Starkovsky Our local Rotary Club of Glasshouse Mountains finished 2012 with a Bang (Christmas Party at King Ludwig Restaurant) and started 2013 in good shape. During the Christmas holidays members of the club again helped with the car parking at Australia Zoo. This is a big event in the club’s annual calendar and we are extremely grateful for the opportunity given by Australia Zoo. Australia Day was a bit of a wash-out with bad weather spoiling the event but nevertheless, our members, helped by the Dunns (a Cystic Fibrosis family), serve the traditional damper and tea at the Zoo entrance. All monies raised and earned are used to pay for our charity contributions and our commitments to young people suffering from Cystic Fibrosis here on the coast. At the end of January the club welcomed Tony Long as a new member. We also had the opportunity to listen to our honorary member Terri Irwin, giving us the latest news from Australia Zoo. Robert and Bindi Irwin (both Friends of Rotary) informed us of their plans for 2013. Needless to say that it is always a real event when the Irwin’s rock up to a meeting. Of course there are more guest speakers and events, but listing them all would be too much. So, if anybody is interested to join a vibrant Club with both dedicated and fun members, check out the contact details below and give us a call. Our local Rotary Club might be small in numbers but big in making a difference by contributing to the community and organisations. We cannot help everybody but we can try and help as many people as possible. If you feel inspired to do your bit, please give us a call on 0402 428 418 or visit the website www.glasshouserotary.com.au for further information.

Chaplaincy update
Contributed by Chris Bell At the recent Super Local Chaplaincy Committee for Glasshouse Country Schools meeting, principal of Beerburrum Primary School Neil Harvey and principal of Landsborough Primary School Kristy Walton said they didn’t know how they operated before, without a school chaplain. Donna and Mike Turner with Linda Both Neil and Kristy sang the praises of their ‘chappies’ Donna and Linda who work tirelessly with students and teachers alike to make their lives healthier and happier. Linda is also the chaplain for Beerwah Primary School where her work is greatly appreciated. Scripture Union is currently interviewing candidates for the Government funded chaplain’s position at Glass House Primary School. Glasshouse Country Schools are indeed fortunate to have these chaplains whose passion is to care for kids; and while their positions are partly funded by the government, community fundraising is still necessary; especially to keep Mike Turner full time at Beerwah High School. “We have a wonderful sponsor called ‘Mr and/or Mrs Anonymous’ who donates $2,000 every few months,” said Chris. “If that is you, thanks from the bottom of our hearts. If you would like it to be you too, please go to the Scripture Union Website suqld.org.au and follow the ‘Donate’ prompts making sure the money is directed to Beerwah Super LCC.” Our next fundraising date for your diaries is Sunday, April 21 where the Committee will be running a ‘Graham Leach Memorial Fund Raising Concert’ from 2.00pm to 4.00pm at the Baptist Church in Roberts Road Beerwah. Tickets $10.00 each will include afternoon tea. We’d love you to come along for an entertaining afternoon.

Hardware, and much, much more At Woodford Hardware and Nursery you can find everything you would expect in a great local hardware store. Whether you need tools, timber, steel, garden supplies, fencing, watering systems, or gear for DIY projects. They stock the lot. However what you may not know is that they carry a great range of hunting and shooting requirements. This now includes selling selected firearm brands, ammunition, rifle scopes, compound and recurve bows, arrows and hunting tips, as well as outdoor clothing. They are also a licensed firearm dealer and broker, able to assist you in your registration. Business owner Dick Howard – a born and bred Glass House Mountains local – said the reason they expanded into hunting equipment is there was a high demand for those products locally and the closest outlets were about 45 minutes away. “We stock both Federal and CCI ammunition in a range of calibres and if we do not have it we are only too happy to order it in. “We now have Remington accessories and will soon have Winchester in stock.
Business feature
“From the feedback we have received we know our prices are very competitive, including our gun safes, starting from $265.00 for a 3 - 5 gun safe,” Dick said. Want to get the kids active and outside? Dick can sort that out for you too. “We have kids compound bow packages for $180.00 which are a great quality for getting started. We currently have a number of customers from Glasshouse Country purchasing their hunting and ammunition needs from us, so if you’re not, then you should come out and see for yourself the great range we carry,” he said. A popular item is the Leupold remote sensor trail camera, which are not only unsurpassed for hunting, but they’re fantastic for security around farms and the home, Dick said. And with new products arriving all the time, there’s always something different to check out. Woodford Hardware and Nursery is located in the main street of Woodford, 98 Archer Street and is open seven days a week. If you have any enquiries call them on 5496 1385.

School News First official event for new GCCC captains
On Tuesday, February 12 the College captains and chaplains from Glasshouse Country Christian College attended the Sunshine Coast Christian School Ecumenical Service at St Andrews at Peregian Beach. This was the first official event the newly elected Primary, Middle and Senior School captains attended and they were excited and inspired by the occasion. After the service the GCCC captains were able to meet and chat to other school representatives over morning tea. This gave them the opportunity to network and share ideas. The three College chaplains also really enjoyed the event and said a major highlight was just spending time getting to know the new GCCC captains on the bus ride to and from Peregian Beach. About 16 schools from across the Sunshine Coast attended the service.

School News from Emma Offord Glasshouse Country Christian College correspondent
Big dreams, big changes Well, 2013 is a brand new year and along with the new year comes new things. Glasshouse Country Christian College has been growing in size and this year they have their first double Year 12 class (which I am currently in). Being in Year 12 feels much like being in Year 11, the same subjects, same teachers (mostly), and the same friends, give or take a few. Even though the year is just starting out, I can tell it’s not going to be this easy breezy the whole year. With QCS coming up later on (which I certainly am not looking forward to) and lots of assignments to handle, life is going to get hectic. Along with the title of being Year 12’s comes the Year 12 workload. This semester in English the Year 12’s are studying Shakespeare’s play, ‘Hamlet’. No offence to Mr Shakespeare or anything but, ‘thou dost not hath any idea what thou say most of the time…’ As for the big dreams (life dreams, not daydreaming), people get to choose what profession they would like to work in. I am still having a little trouble with that. Hopefully, I’d like to get into the Creative Industries, hence my Traineeship and Certificate III in Media. However, in reality, everybody has big dreams and big unexpected changes happen; you just have to embrace the changes and challenge life head on. Bring it on 2013!

Student leaders investiture
A special assembly was held at Landsborough State School recently for the 2013 Student Leader Investiture Ceremony. Newly elected school captains, vice vaptains, house captains, class captains and student councillors were presented with their leadership badges. School Adopt-a-Cop, Senior Constable David Caffrey, spoke at the ceremony about the importance of leadership and he congratulated all the 2013 leaders on their appointment. Principal, Kristy Walton, called each student leader to the stage individually to receive their badge and certificate. She was assisted by P & C President, Danielle Booth, and the proud parents of each leader who were given the honour of pinning the badge on their child. In their roles, the student leaders will be entrusted to show leadership and be attentive to the interests of their fellow students and the school. During the ceremony, they were asked to pledge an oath of office to accept responsibilities. The pledge is a reminder to all student leaders about their responsibilities as a leader and how they should carry out their duties. We congratulate the new student leaders for 2013 and wish them success in their new roles.

Beerwah State School Welcomes Chappy! Never before has Beerwah State School had a school chaplain! Linda Whysall was welcomed to the team in last term of 2012 at Beerwah State School. Linda is a local, married to Mark and they have three children. She has been a chaplain for the past three years in other schools on the Coast and in Central Western Queensland and comes with a wealth of experience and excitement about being involved in the journey of life with our students and school families. ‘Chappy’s’ role is quite varied but encompasses activities such as running fun lunch time programs, running small groups for students on life skills and relationships to providing Pastoral Care and support in crisis situations or just providing a ‘listening ear’.

Recycle your computers and televisions for free Local people and businesses can recycle their unwanted computers and televisions (e-waste) at events during February and March to help reduce the amount of recyclable items going into Coast landfills. Sunshine Coast Council has partnered with Drop Zone to provide a number of free e-waste recycling events, which will be held at various tips across the Coast which started at Noosa landfill and Cooroy transfer station on Saturday, February 23. E-waste disposal will be free of charge for all televisions - such as CRTs, plasma, LCD and projection televisions - and computers and computer products. Environment Portfolio Councillor Tony Wellington said the program was in line with council’s Waste Minimisation Strategy 2009 - 2014. “Electronic waste is the fastest growing waste category in Australia. It’s growing three times faster than any other type of waste, and contains hazardous materials that must be managed in a safe manner,” he said. “We can help protect our natural resources and environment through responsible recycling - that includes reducing the amount of electronic waste that’s currently going into our landfills. “All items dropped off at e-waste events will be taken to an approved recycler, who will dismantle and separate the different components of each product. “There are many materials that can be recovered from computers and televisions such as glass and plastics, iron, steel, aluminium and copper, plus precious metals such as gold, platinum and silver. “We urge residents and small businesses E-waste events will be held from to make the most of March 2 – 6 at the Caloundra these e-waste events Landfill and Resource Recovery and recycle their old Centre, opening hours 7.00am – equipment by dropping 5.00pm and at the Beerwah Resource Recovery it off at their nearest tip Centre on the weekend of March 2 and 3 from free of charge on the 8.00am – 5.00pm each day. allocated days.”

Is Your Baby Suffering From Colic?
Is your little one constantly crying in pain? Is he/she having trouble feeding, or keeping it down? Is he/she arching his/her back in attempt to find relief? Do you wish you knew what was wrong? Or that there was something more you could do? Is the crying beginning to stress you out as a parent? Is it affecting your bonding with your child?
Babies are supposed to eat a lot, sleep a lot, and poop a lot...and cry a little. If your baby is crying more than he/she should, seems unsettled, isn’t sleeping, or is spitting up often...something isn’t right. Studies suggest infantile colic now occurs in 25-40 percent of babies. The medical literature says infantile colic is difficult to diagnose and that if it is colic, most children will ‘outgrow it’ by 12 weeks of age. The common treatment for infantile colic includes drugs like dimethicone, advice to change formula, or to ‘wait it out’ as the baby will eventually ‘outgrow it’. Most of these treatments, however, haven’t offered parents and babies the relief hoped for. There is a better option! Several weeks of sleepless nights and living with a baby in pain can seem like forever. Chiropractors have known that specific spinal adjustments can get to the cause of what is ailing your child. There are numerous case studies where infants with colic have been relieved of their painful symptoms with chiropractic care. In one study, 316 infants with moderate to severe colic were adjusted. 94 per cent of the children within 14 days of chiropractic care (usually three visits) showed a satisfactory response. After four weeks, the improvements were maintained. One fourth of these infants showed great improvement after the very first chiropractic adjustment. The remaining infants all showed improvement within 14 days. Note: 51 per cent of the infants had undergone prior unsuccessful treatment, usually drug therapy.

Hi Everyone
W
elcome to our current Local Wedding Guide. At GCNews we always like to encourage our readers to consider shopping locally before heading out of the area. This philosophy is really important for locals planning weddings, as it one time that you are spending a significant amount of money and with so many businesses doing it tough then don’t you think it is important to give suppliers in our neck of the woods the opportunity to show you what they can offer before heading to the coast or Brisbane. There is plenty of stress leading up to a wedding but the advantage of working with local businesses means that you can build up a relationship with them before the big day – especially for all the bride and bridal party hair and beauty needs. Investing in your engagement and wedding rings are huge decisions and what better way to give you peace of mind than to choose spend time discussing with our local jewellers what it is you have your heart set on – and if you need to pay them off – how much easier is it just to be able to pop in and make payments. Also when you live and work in a local community, business owners value their hard earned reputation – they can’t afford to drop their standards for a second or word would spread fast. This in turn means that you can feel confident that you will be looked after. The local businesses in our area are run by the people who own them, and locally this means we have very experienced people running them, and the benefit of that is that they really know what they’re doing which means you can trust their advice!

From the proposal to the big day At Flair Jewellery they love to be part of your journey – from the proposal, where they can help you with an engagement ring, right through to all your requirements for the big day. They carry a great range of engagement and wedding rings and their qualified and experienced jeweller can also custom design a ring for you. Riana and Alma Store manager Riana Vonder said, “Being able to give clients exactly what they have in mind, and seeing the delight on their faces when they try their rings on for the first time is a great highlight for us. “Every ring we make is special to us, as every client is special to us. At Flair we are interested in your story. Our clients are not just another number to us.” They also stock bridal giftware, bridesmaid’s jewellery and a gorgeous range of cuff links and tie pins for best men and groomsmen. “We like to remind our couples to bring their engagement ring and other jewellery that they are planning to wear on the day – so we can give it a polish so it will sparkle on the big day,’’ Riana said. “The one tip I have for couples is to make sure they enjoy their special day, focus on themselves and on sharing their joy with their family and friends.” Call in and talk to the team at Flair Jewellery either during the week from 9.00am – 5.00pm or on Saturdays when they are open from 9.00am -12.00noon. The shop is in Turner Street, Beerwah, in the arcade just up from the Post Office.

Rick Baberowski Division 1 Councillor Sunshine Coast Council P: 5420 8987 Glasshouse Country Mayor Mark Jamieson and the majority of Sunshine Coast Councillors met in Beerwah recently which gave me an opportunity to reinforce how Glasshouse Country towns can be successfully competitive given the major regional developments occurring on our doorstep. The Mayor and Councillors took the opportunity to walk around town, meet local people and hear about the opportunities and challenges faced by local business in the division. We also had a well-attended meeting with local farmers who powerfully relayed the impacts of the wild weather that has seriously reduced the harvest of fruit and nuts and destroyed numerous productive trees.
Draft Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme Council has started reviewing over 2,500 submissions made by the community in response to the Draft Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme. Ten major community and business organisations including the Glasshouse Chamber of Commerce made presentations on the draft scheme to council. I was genuinely pleased with the amount of involvement, high level of detail and quality feedback we received about the draft scheme.
Referendum There is going to be a resolution after March 9 regarding the possible de-amalgamation of the two northern divisions of council. Whichever way the vote goes, Sunshine Coast Council is ready to move forward and continue delivering valuable services for the community.
Out in the community I’ll be out in the community on March 22 at Glasshouse Mountains Visitor Information Centre between 1.00pm and 3.00pm. If you’d like to make a meeting time call Kerri on 5420 8987 or feel free to just drop in. I’ll be in a different town every month and will keep you posted as to when and where, so if you have anything you’d like to talk with me about you’ll know where to find me.

Division 5 Councillor Sunshine Coast Council M: 0409 450 726 Council has organised another free e-waste collection. It’s your chance to responsibly dispose of old televisions, personal computers, laptops and printers. Check council’s website to find out when and where to take your e-waste. Tell your family and friends about it too. The wet weather seems to have really settled in and Sunshine Coast’s disaster and emergency teams have partnered with local hardware and landscape supply businesses to provide the necessary sand, sandbags, tips and demonstrations for do-it-yourself sandbagging. The main aim is for people to be prepared in case of flooding and have sandbags at the ready as they can help to slow the movement of water. Check council’s website for the list of participating suppliers. There’s a really interesting American speaker, Richard Heinberg, who was interviewed in Australia last year, on the Big Ideas program on ABC Radio National. The interview was aired on February 18 and you can podcast or download it. I’m recommending it as he has a different take on energy, economic and ecological issues and thought you might be interested in what he has to say. Adopt-a-Road is a wonderful way for volunteers and groups to give back to the local environment by removing litter from local roadways and streets. Volunteers are supported to undertake coordinated litter clean ups and other activities along approved streets and roadways in the community. Adopting groups decide on the section of road they wish to adopt (minimum of 2km). Get involved by contacting Jai at Keep Australia Beautiful Queensland on 3252 2886. Everyone is welcome to the breakfast meeting at Thunderbirds Café in Mooloolah starting at 7.00am on Thursday, February 28. I’ve invited Mark McArdle MP to be our special guest, although we’re not sure if he is able to attend. Come along for a catch up and chat about what’s happening in our local community. 22

Is it just me?
Is anyone else in Beerwah fed up with the dilapidated look of the old Retravision shop on the corner of Simpson Street and Peachester Road? It is over six years ago that this shop became vacant, and it is making Beerwah’s Main Street look like a rundown country town. Also IGA’s damaged doorway isn’t helping. When are the owners of Beerwah Market place going to do something? We have heard rumours for years that shops in Simpson Street will be rebuilt. The State Government decreed that Beerwah would be a major Hinterland Town. Perhaps they haven’t been here lately. Ron Hills Beerwah Editor’s note We hear that the development application for the area goes to Council for approval at the beginning of March, let’s hope this moves everything ahead.
A big thanks
From us all here at the Landsborough BP, we’d like to say a big Thank You to all those people who we sold fuel to on credit when the storm came through and we had no credit card or eftpos working. Every single person has come back and paid us for the fuel we gave them over those couple of days. It makes us feel good to be part of this great community, where we can help each other out in times of need. Sometimes showing a little kindness and having a little faith in one another isn’t such a bad way to live.

The Daddy Club
This week’s article is about being a dad – if you are a dad, I hope there is something here that is of use to you. First of all I would like to congratulate you on being a part of the best club in the world – the ‘Daddy Club’. This prestigious club has been around since the dawn of time and has its fair share of challenges and rewards but is more important to our world than we probably realise. I’ve been in the Daddy Club for nearly 10 years. I tell you what though; when I first joined the club I was like ‘a deer in the headlights’ as it were – naïve and feeling ill-equipped for the task ahead. Some of the ‘dad mistakes’ that I have made include being too busy with work, not spending enough time with them and simply being a grump at home; but I have worked at not doing that stuff to the point where I am really enjoying being a dad and am being rewarded in seeing my three sons respond to me fathering them. I would like to share two things that have helped me become a better dad… We are stronger than we think One of the things that I have learned is that being a good dad doesn’t come easy – we need to put effort into it. We need to think about what we are trying to achieve in our fathering and then put it into practice – consistently and GLASSHOUSE COUNTRY

lovingly. There are times when I get a bit lazy and let my wife deal with family stuff on her own, and that is not fair on her or the kids. I need to be active in the kids’ lives and not get lazy. We can’t do this on our own The other thing I have learned – more recently is how important it is that I am not trying to go it alone in my fathering. So often we as blokes tend to battle on – running on our own steam and run into trouble down the line… I really value my own dad and mentors as well as my mates who have kids of their own; they are a real source of strength and inspiration as each day I embark on a new adventure in fathering. Last but not least, I couldn’t ever know how to father my kids without first knowing that God is there to help me each day – to give me strength, patience and wisdom to handle all the things we must deal with as dads. God bless you and your family!

Not many gardeners refer to this plant by its botanic name of Tropaeolum. It is most commonly known as Nasturtium and also as Indian cress. It is possibly one of the most useful plants in the productive garden. Originating from South and Central America, Tropaeolum is a genus of over 80 species of annuals and perennials, most of which are scrambling ground covers or climbers. Nasturtium The botanic name Nasturtium is applied to water cress and related species. Tropaeolum was given the common name Nasturtium due to its similar peppery taste. The Nasturtium we all know, T. majus is a very attractive plant with showy bright green leaves and fiery red yellow and orange flowers. It has the ability to quickly cover unsightly piles of gravel or rubbish in the garden or turn a decrepit old fence into a scene of cottage garden beauty. Nasturtium plants are happy in poor to moderately fertile soil. If the soil is too rich or nutrient levels are high from other sources, the plant will produce a vast amount of leaves though few flowers. Grow them in a sunny spot or they will become straggly. If the shade is too strong and they will start to climb with long internodes and look messy. Nasturtiums are most commonly propagated by seeds which are pea-size and hard when ripe. Soak the seed in warm water overnight before planting to speed up germination. Cuttings can be used to propagate a desired colour or cultivar of the plant. This can be done in a glass of water. Ensure that one node is below or just at the water level. Otherwise place the cutting in a loose potting mix which is kept moist. It is a great companion plant for many different vegetables and fruit trees including Brassicas, Citrus and anything in the melon family. It repels insects such as aphids and can act as a living mulch around trees and shrubs, keeping the soil moist and cool. Nasturtium has many culinary uses as all parts of the plant are edible. It is high in vitamin C and many minerals. The seed can even be used as an alternative to capers. Nasturtium has also been used in traditional medicine for generations due to its expectorant and antiseptic qualities. The only down side comes from the hardiness of the plants. Nasturtium has naturalised itself around the eastern side of NSW. The plant is not hard to control but left to its own devices, can get grow rampantly. A pretty plant which is easy to grow, helps the garden, tastes good and has health benefits. Sounds too good to be true? Try growing some Nasturtium and find out that the truth is good.

Are you prepared for all the costs of buying a house? When budgeting for the costs of buying a property, it is important that you cover all your bases. The last thing anybody wants is to come up short or be presented with a surprise expense at the eleventh hour! That’s why it is a great idea to find out all the things you will be required to pay for in the course of a property purchase - what you know, you can plan for! If you will be financing your property purchase with a home loan, there are several costs involved that you’ll need to think www.gcnews.com.au
about, in addition to the deposit requirement. You will need to pay a loan application fee to your lender and also pay for a valuation of the property to be carried out by a professional of their choosing. Your mortgage also needs to be registered with the government, and there is a charge to do so. If you are borrowing more than 80 per cent of the property’s value, you will usually be required by the lender to take out lenders’ mortgage insurance. This is to protect the lender in case you fail to pay your
loan and is a one-off fee. As with any property transaction, you will need to pay land transfer tax, also known as stamp duty. This amount varies from state to state, and if you are getting a first home buyer loan you may be eligible for a concession on this duty. You will also need to budget for legal fees incurred for conveyancing, checking the sale contract and general legal aid. What’s more, many buyers have a professional building inspection carried out before making an offer. If you plan to do this too, make sure
it is covered in your budget. A mortgage adviser can help you to accurately determine all the costs you need to plan for when buying property. Teresa Harrison Phone 5422 9458 or 0410 648 098

The teacher asked the class to use the word 'fascinate' in a sentence. Molly put up her hand and said, “my family went to my granddad's farm, and we all saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating.” The teacher said, “that was good, but I wanted you to use the word 'fascinate’, not ‘fascinating’. Sally raised her hand. She said, “my family went to see Rock City and I was ‘fascinated'." The teacher said, “well, that was good Sally, but I wanted you to use the word 'fascinate'.
Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because she had been burned by Little Johnny before. She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word 'fascinate', so she called on him. Johnny said, “My aunt Gina has a sweater with 10 buttons, but her chest is so big she can only fasten eight.” The teacher sat down and cried. Riy Fathers, Beerwah RSL

Week beginning 27/02/13
with International Clairvoyant Renee Badger - Author, Counsellor and Columnist. PISCES February 20 – March 20 Advice you may receive may be quite conflicting, so this would be a time to go with your gut feeling and make your own decision. At the weekend you can be very restless and impulsive. Your moods may be unpredictable so take care when communicating with those who are close to you. A change of car is indicated, as well as a short holiday. ARIES March 21 – April 20 Where romance is concerned, this can be a time of celebrations and a lot of social life. Those Aries who are on their own can now meet someone meaningful and compatible. Positive changes can now occur in your life. Personal growth, self improvement courses will be beneficial. TAURUS April 20 – May 21 The new moon indicates that you will be focusing on private concerns. Socialising may take a back seat at this period as there may be an unfinished task that needs completing. You can also be more sensitive than at other periods. This is a very important time for soul searching and to devote more time to yourself. Renovating the home or a move is possible. GEMINI May 22 – June 21 Deep transformation can be taking place. Your home, career and your self-worth can be challenged. This is a time of soul searching and having the faith that you will succeed in what you really want out of life. Watch that you don’t overspend on luxury items. Some changes can occur with a close relationship.
CANCER June 22 – July 22 This is a very important time for you to keep focused on what you want and where you are going. Things should go pretty well your way. You may feel a need to take things at a quicker pace. If this is so, try and take things slower than usual, rushing will get you nowhere. A change of car is possible. LEO July 23 – August 22 Restrictions around your work and relationships could get you down at times. This is a time when you will need to keep centred and positive about your life. New opportunities are on their way. A new love can come into your life. Changes in the home are possible. A problem with a family member will be sorted out. VIRGO August 23 – September 22 Love relationships can be quite prominent now. A new love can begin, or an old love can come back into your life. Try not to set too high standards, there is no such thing as a perfect person, everyone has some faults. A holiday may now be in the making which can work out well. LIBRA September 23 – October 22 Making new friends and starting a new lifestyle and social group can bring some very important people into your life. Money may seem to come and go very quickly. Problems with a car could put some pressure on your budget. A problem connected with a child will need to be sorted out.
SCORPIO October 23 – November 22 You may be inclined to rush into everything, so take your time with important decisions, and also with your driving. Finding time for yourself will be important. You’ll also need to be tactful dealing with authority figures. A promotion is possible. Pressure can be put on you, but by taking it easy you can succeed. SAGITTARIUS November 22 – December 22 This is not a good time to take things to heart. You may feel quite sensitive and a bit rejected. Take things very slowly, as this is not the right time to make important decisions, especially where love relationships are concerned. There can be a change in your work environment. New car is likely. CAPRICORN December 22 – January 19 A private talk with a work mate can give you some valuable information. However this is not the time to mix business with pleasure. Opportunities to buy or sell property can be very strong now. Excellent news coming regarding a child. Lots of changes at this time can be made in the home. New car is possible. AQUARIUS January 20 – February 19 You are on a new career path. Unexpected business developments are in your favour. Someone from the past can come back into your life. Confusion around a relationship will now start to clear. Freedom will be important to you at this time. Try and take your time with decisions. A new job situation can arise out of the blue.

Overall winner of the day Cathy Stone with Captain Lea
A word from our sponsors
To Rent/Lease/Let

Contributed by Jenny Kellie Yet again the rain has had an influence on our game. Only half the course was playable on Thursday, so 37 girls played the back nine twice. The fairways were at bit wet underfoot, but that didn't stop Cathy Stone from scoring 34 points in the Single Stableford competition. Cathy won a voucher kindly donated by Ross and Anne at The Garden Terrace Coffee Lounge. Lesley Eggleston took home another voucher from The Garden Terrace as runner up with a score of 32 points. NTPs went to Andrea Campbell with her 4th shot into the 11th. Heather Henn took out the 16th, while Cathy was closest on the 18th. The ball rundown went to 24 points. The Weekend Pennant team played against the team from Peregian Springs on a soggy course at Headland. The team scored one win, one square and three losses to score 1.5 points for the day. Maybe not our best effort but we are hoping for better things when we take on Pacific Harbour at Caboolture on Sunday. Let's hope the rain clears away soon. Until then, stay safe and good golfing.
Division team continued on their winning way, winning one and losing one on a play off. The total score was GG 49 Kandanga 35. Division 12/13 Men’s Bronze Division played Cannon Hill at Glasshouse winning three of the five games which was a pleasing result for these boys. The individual games scores were close. The overall points were GG 119 Cannon Hill 120.
