Hi Everyone... Well it's official - the Christmas season is now on. For me it kicked off in Beerburrum last weekend, as you can see from this week’s front cover we headed along to our first Christmas Party. You might be thinking that GC&M News has been banging on about Christmas for weeks, which is true, but until I get my first sighting of 'Santa' in his red suit I don’t really feel it. So I am glad that the Beerburrum Community Christmas party took place quite early. Now it’s OK for us to put the rum balls, bowl of Roses chocolates and shortbreads out for morning tea every day until December 25! As always, we are keen to include as many of your photos as possible taken at festive events locally in the upcoming editions. So if you are at a local Christmas party, or have a set of antlers on the dog, or have a great (or maybe not so great) photo of the kids with Santa that you are happy to share, make sure you send them to editorial@gcnews.com.au. (Photos must be over 150kb and you must include the names of the people in the photo).

Regards,

Aurora, Lucy and Piper Vielle enjoying the Beerburrum Community Christmas party See story page 32

Local News Proposed quarry site bought by council A 65 hectare parcel of bushland in Landsborough has been purchased by Sunshine Coast Council recently to create a new environmental reserve. The land, situated between Hapgood Road and the Bruce Highway, was the subject of a 2017 application by Shadforth Industries Pty Ltd to turn the site, known as Alfs Hill, into a large quarry. The application was rejected by the council in May 2018 on a number of grounds including impacts to vegetation, fauna, hydrology and visual amenity. Shadforth Industries appealed the refusal to the Planning and Environment Court but in an unexplained move, lawyers for Shadforth recently discontinued the proceedings, abandoning their plans for establishing the quarry. It appears the council and Shadforth had been negotiating behind the scenes before this happened, as the May 23, 2019 ordinary meeting of council included an agenda item - Proposed land acquisition Landsborough - that was tabled and taken behind closed doors into a confidential session. For the discussions and subsequent decision, Mayor Mark Jamieson withdrew from the chamber declaring a personal interest due to electoral donations received from a range of Shadforth companies, totalling $47,339.89. A council spokesperson confirmed that the purchase was approved in the May confidential agenda session and council bought the property

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

for $1.1 million through the environment levy land acquisition program. “This property is environmentally significant and strategically located adjacent to part of the Glass House Mountains National Park, which is why council sought to acquire the site,” the spokesperson said. As it is surrounded by state forest and national park, protecting the forests, habitats and wildlife living there was a priority for the council. “This acquisition by council provides greater certainty around the future use of the site for environmental purposes and contributes to the protection of matters of national, state and local environmental significance including Commonwealth-listed fauna species such as the vulnerable koala and associated habitat,” the spokesperson said. “This acquisition supports the protection of the surrounding area’s landscape and character by contributing to the green frame of the future Beerwah East major development area and provides opportunities to plan for and deliver complementary nature-based recreational activities such as trails and supporting infrastructure.” The environment levy is a ratepayer contribution to protecting and conserving our special places across the Sunshine Coast and has contributed to the acquisition of more than 3,590 hectares of land since the early 1990s.

Beerwah Homemaker Centre

Call for an obligation free consultation

The Beerwah Homemaker Centre proposal – with a Coles supermarket, McDonald’s, petrol station, retail showroom, hardware/nursery, gym, bulky goods homemaker centre and a zone for service/ light industry development on 16.5 hectares on the southern corner of Roys Road and Steve Irwin Way in Beerwah – has been a hot topic of discussion around the region. GC&M News has published information in the past couple of weeks about the developments, what they propose to deliver, the reasons why the developers (Coles Group Property Developments Ltd) believe it will be beneficial to everyone (including existing local businesses) and reactions from business leaders and elected representatives. This week we asked local residents and readers what they think. As would be expected from a diverse community such as ours, reaction has been mixed.

“Beerwah is growing up fast … please don't lose the country spirit.” “I like the way things were 20 years ago.”

Some wondered if it would get off the ground “Heard about this 12 years ago and still waiting.” “This has been in the pipeline for years. Westfield were originally looking at this land like 6-7 years ago.”

Many wondered about the impact on existing businesses “We don't need another petrol station or a fast food place when there's plenty of lovely local cafés and restaurants. We have the Co-op for hardware. Big companies taking away local businesses.” “We living in a capitalist country – we like it or not, big fish eats the little ones.” “Very bad news for local businesses like the Coop. New jobs will come at the expense of small businesses and the local people they already employ.” “Really!!!! A Coles supermarket ... we already have three supermarkets in a small town – Woolworths, Fresh & Save and Aldi. What makes them think a Coles will do good for Beerwah as well. What about a Kmart or Big W. Just saying.” “Maccas NOT needed, plenty of great private owned family takeouts already in both Landsborough and Beerwah.”

Some were positive “Be great for kids and jobs.” “Oh yes please, would be great for Beerwah.” “Will be good for jobs for younger people in the area and a place for families with young ones to catch up.” “Hope it goes through and soon too!” “More work for local people and especially younger ones, I think it’s great that our town is growing.”

development application …

what the locals think

“Yes I’m loving the idea of development, shops, etc going in. The place is growing, homes are going up everywhere. So it’s a need - bring it on.” “It will definitely bring more attention to Beerwah and only grow the area even more! Will also save us all the trip to shop further away at places like Sunshine Plaza, Caloundra and Caboolture.”

Some had a bet each way “All for it if they can get that intersection right.” “Not McDonald's!! But Coles yes! How about Big W or Kmart?” “No more Maccas, but my husband and many other men I know want a KFC.” “Don't like the design. We have enough open square shopping centres. We need a proper closed in, air conditioned shopping centre to sit and meet people out of the heat and rain. The new centre of Beerwah, based on Steve Irwin Way, not the other side of the railway line. It was always going to happen.” “My kids are 10, 8 and 7 so somewhat selfishly I am looking forward to it as it will provide parttime work opportunities for them in the shortterm future. It will, however, take away from the character of the area, which is a shame, but I accept that progress is inevitable.”

Some pondered other possible impacts “Great ... more McDonald's wrappers to litter our streets.”

“I pick up enough Macca's rubbish along Roys Road as it is.” “And have it sit half empty like one/two in Morayfield.” “Yes Steve Irwin Way and Roys Road will be horrible. Do you plan to make Roys Road to the highway 4 lanes!! ... IT SHOULD BE!!” The topic was also one for letter writers, including this from Joan Tucker: So many of the "Benefits to the Beerwah Community" as outlined in the proposal by the Coles Group simply do not stack up. A zoning change to accommodate this proposal will result in less available industrial land while owners of land in the current commercial precinct will be denied the opportunity to develop the potential of their investment. As for additional jobs created by the proposed development. Our local supermarkets would not be able to retain their current level of staffing once Coles captures the predicted 21.4% of

the market. Job cuts within the established supermarkets would have to be factored in when forecasting increased local employment if the Coles proposal were to go ahead. Furthermore, who in this community would want to see Beerwah township split into two commercial precincts and divided by a busy road. Joan Tucker Glass House Mountains The process will take time to work through the mechanisms of Sunshine Coast Council. As Cr Rick Baberowski said in GC&M News last week, there won’t be any decisions for 6-12 months and the community will have the opportunity to have their say through the official submissions process. GC&M News is committed to keeping the local community informed and aware of significant development happening in the region, meaning you’ll find out everything you need to know by reading and supporting your local newspaper.

Clive Waring Candidate for Division 5 Clive is a seventh generation Australian but was educated in England. He and his wife Elizabeth, a nurse at Selangor Hospital in Nambour, built a carbon-positive home in Maleny 10 years ago and are both passionate about the hinterland lifestyle. Clive has a 40-year background in the photography industry, operating studios in Sydney, Brisbane, London and Hamburg. “During the 1990s, I was a consultant for Polaroid and responsible for the Queensland Department of Transport, Department of Health and Queensland Police, which provided valuable knowledge of government purchase procedures,” Clive said. “In the late 1990s I established a company for import and distribution from UK photographic manufacturers.” During the past 17 years Clive has travelled across North America and Europe as the editor for 'Silvershotz' magazine. His tenure has just finished. “I describe myself as a workaholic with a lot of energy to burn, someone who has to have major life goals to pursue and accomplish. “Travelling the world on business for 25 years heightens my awareness of the destruction of the planet and just how special the Sunshine Coast hinterland biosphere is, and it must be protected at all costs”. Clive has recently joined a network of Australian scientists and researchers on energy security, climate change minimisation techniques, integration of alternative energy sources, waste recycling innovations, food production

(commercial and home) sustainability and minimising electromagnetic radiation from communication towers. "The combination of addressing all these issues provides a healthier lifestyle and local council can implement smarter and safer procedures," Clive said. “I look forward to joining a progressive council to provide strategic direction, while delivering infrastructure and supporting the community’s needs. “I am apolitical, which means I am not interested in politics but I am optimistic about the efficiency of local government as a strong organisation that delivers exceptional services to the community. “As an Independent candidate I don't have ties to a traditional party group, which means I can be flexible and act in the best interests of the electorate. “I would like to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of Cr Jenny McKay during her 20-year tenure of Division 5. “I wish her a well-deserved rest and, if elected, I promise to do everything I can to continue her legacy.” If you would like to donate to Clive’s campaign, volunteer to help, or quiz him on any council matter, phone 0455 500 007 or email clive4council@outlook.com.

Caring for the Hinterland community for over 20 yrs

Big thumbs up to Rotary’s generosity Christmas came early last week for ten local community groups when the Rotary Club of the Glasshouse Mountains presented almost $10,000 from its community grants program for 2019 at the Beerwah Hotel. The Rotary Club advertised in September for notfor-profit community groups that operate in the Glasshouse Country region to apply for grants of up to $1,000 for a specific purpose that would benefit the local community. Ian Hope, from the Rotary Club, said that the program had generated a lot of interest and that they were pleased to be able to assist in funding a broad range of projects. On Monday, November 18 representatives from the successful community groups came to the club’s dinner meeting for the official presentation of funds and a 2019 Rotary Calendar. The funds went to Mooloolah Hall for a professionally constructed community noticeboard outside the hall; Landsborough Scouts to buy camping equipment so Joeys, Cubs and Rovers can camp at the same time; Morris House to put towards air conditioning the small office used for meetings and appointments; Landsborough Community Kindy and Landsborough Love Where We Live towards creating websites; Beerwah Sportsground to build

a barbeque shelter; Tibro’s Netball Club for an internal ceiling in the club house; Beerburrum State School P&C for its Stephanie Alexander garden; Glass House Mountains State School P&C to buy 20 new trestle tables; and the War On Waste Glasshouse Country for current recycling projects. The Rotary Club of the Glass House Mountains raises about $25,000 each year through a number of initiatives including car park duties at Australia Zoo during peak events and doing barbeques at local community events such as the Beerwah Charity Sports Day and at the regular community barbeques at the Glass House Mountains Neighbourhood Centre.

Business News Introducing - Dr Siobhan Larkin Beerwah Dental welcomed a new dentist, Dr Siobhan Larkin, to their team earlier this month. Siobhan said she enjoys all areas of dentistry and has a particular knack to support patients who may experience some anxiety when visiting the dentist. Originally from Port Stephens in NSW, Siobhan completed her qualifications at Charles Sturt University, and now calls the Sunshine Coast home. Before joining the experienced team at Beerwah Dental, Siobhan worked as a dentist with the Australian Defence Force Army in Brisbane and the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Dubbo. Siobhan says her experience with the flying doctors was very valuable. “It was a very rewarding experience, as the people have very limited access to services in these remote locations,” she said. “It was great to be able to help the people that need it most.” She would frequently fly to remote locations such as Lightening Ridge and Bourke to provide essential dental services. It was in this role that she encountered many people who were apprehensive about visiting the dentist and, for many, it was their first time seeing one. Siobhan said being able to help people through this anxiety was the most rewarding experience and she enjoys being a gentle and caring dentist. Siobhan enjoys all areas of dentistry having worked with patients from age three right through to patients in their 90s. She’s looking forward to continuing to contribute to a wonderful practice and helping locals with their dental needs.

Maleny yoghurt finalist in national awards It’s a ‘legendairy’ nomination for local business Maleny Cheese, named earlier this month as finalists in the Australian Grand Dairy Awards 2020 for their mouth-watering product Maleny Gourmet Yoghurt Apple and Cinnamon. Sara Bucher, of Maleny Cheese, said they were excited to be named as one of three finalists in the national awards, particularly given competition across the nation was fierce. “It’s a credit to our team and also to our wonderful suppliers - Helen and Bruce Page, and John and Emma Ruddle of Ruddle Dairy - who are the basis for our success,” Sara said. Sara and husband Markus also use their own dairy cows to supply the Maleny Cheese Factory. This isn’t the first time Maleny Cheese has been named as a finalist in the awards, having won the Champion Flavoured Yoghurt category in 2009 and 2014. Sara said that in order to be named as a finalist in the awards, they first have to go through rigorous judging and win gold in qualifying competitions. “To be named in the top three out of close to 100 entrants really is extraordinary,” she said. This year Maleny Dairies are also finalists with their Maleny Dairies Farmers Choice Guernsey Non Homogenised Full Cream Milk and Kenilworth Dairies for their amazing Chocolate Mousse. Now in its 21st year, Dairy Australia's annual Australian Grand Dairy Awards (AGDA) recognise and reward excellence and innovation in Australian diary produce, awarding the best of the best in the industry. You can find Maleny Gourmet Yoghurt Apple and Cinnamon in your local IGA supermarket and at Maleny Cheese Factory. Make sure you support our local producers and vote in the 2020 AGDA People’s Choice Award by visiting www.dairy.com.au/our-programs/ australian-grand-dairy-awards/agda-voting-2020.

CORRECTION Re: Landsborough site developer goes into liquidation The story that appeared in the November 13, 2019 edition of GC&M News contained a number of unintentional factual errors.

Community News Glass House District Park upgrade continues

Mystery bus trip Contributed by Russell Modlin Glasshouse Christian College recently ran its third annual overnight mystery bus tour for year 12 students after the college formal. Sunrise at Mt Cootha at 5am The tour is run as an alternative to the after parties that sometimes happen following a formal and is a drug and alcohol-free event. This year a huge majority of the school’s year 12 students chose to take the bus with 42 students enjoying a great night of good, clean fun. First stop was at Game Over on the Gold Coast where students enjoyed two hours of unlimited access to indoor karting, laser tag and climbing walls. The second stop was the Pancake Manor in Brisbane for an early morning feed followed by a trip to Mt Cootha to see the sunrise. The last stop was a bacon and egg breakfast (with lots of coffee) held at Settlement Cove in Redcliffe. Throughout the night there were games and competitions with almost $1,500 in prizes donated by local businesses. Glasshouse Christian College would like to make special mention of our generous sponsors: Andrew Powell MP, Banjo's Beerwah, Bargain Max Beerwah, Beerwah Amcal Pharmacy, Beerwah Flowers and Gifts, Beerwah Hair and Beauty, Beerwah Newsagency, Coffee Club Beerwah, Colour Queens Hairstyles, Coochin Creek Fruitgrowers Coop, Daughters of Hope Inc, Frankie Js Pizza and Pasta, Hello Harry's Birtinya, Hello Harry's Caloundra, Meat at Landsborough, Milano Gelateria Caloundra, Neddy's Nosebag Beerwah, Optus/Network Communications Maroochydore, Stirling Legal Group, Subway Beerwah, V8 Supercuts and Vianta Café.

Work on the newest stages of the district park in Glass House Mountains continues to power along, with the fast approaching Christmas holidays adding extra impetus for Sunshine Coast Council to complete the schedule. Even though the newest playground structures are in place there is a backlog in getting equipment professionally inspected and certified to meet all Australian safety standards. According to Cr Rick Baberowski this may, unfortunately, mean that the new play equipment will not be open on day one of the school holidays. “But I’m sure the wait won’t be too much for local families to enjoy the latest play area,” Cr Baberowski said. “The fantastic existing structures remain open and available, as well as a whole lot of other new facilities in the park … such as walking paths, a new picnic shelter and improvements to the fenced dog park.” Entry statements including eye-catching public art will also be installed at a number of entrances. “Once the work is completed, we’ll have an official opening and then let the community utilise the space,” Cr Baberowski said. “This will inform us of any tweaking that will be needed and let the site settle in before we embark on the next stage of developments.” Cr Rick Baberowski (right) discusses some final details with Brad Harvey from Eureka Landscapes and council's landscape architect Jason Lemberg

Carer friendly business awards By Sonia Clark

Members of the Beerwah Carers group have helped two Sunshine Coast businesses win commendation awards from Carers Queensland for providing outstanding service in the annual Carer Friendly Business Awards held recently during National Carers Week. Beerwah Carers group member Carolyn Robertson nominated I Age Well, with the business director Tanya Dave accepting the Great Business Commendation award. Margaret Thompson nominated Ozcare Currimundi’s dementia advisor Pauline Hope, who received the Great Employee Commendation award. Margaret said she nominated Pauline because of the way she had tirelessly helped her navigate the challenges of dealing with a loved one with dementia. “Pauline was just incredible - giving practical advice, assistance and support," Margaret said. “I felt like I had someone I could finally talk to who understood what I was going through as a carer. “It was very comforting to know there was someone I could just call up when I needed to and that she was always there to help,” Margaret said. The Beerwah Carers group meets on the first Friday of each month from 10am-12noon at Beerwah Library. The next meeting will be Friday, February 7 and anyone who cares for others in any capacity is welcome to attend. If you would like to find out more about the local group contact Carers Queensland on 1800 242 636.

Disaster management sub-group forms

A new local disaster management community sub group has been established in the Mooloolah/ Eudlo area and it needs a volunteer secretary to join it. While the Sunshine Coast Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) will still be responsible for maintaining the overall regional disaster management plan, the re-established Mooloolah/Eudlo community sub group, with its local knowledge, will act in the local community’s interests to prepare for and, wherever and whenever possible in the initial stages, respond to a major incident or natural disaster. Jason Carroll has been appointed the new coordinator who will oversee the Mooloolah Valley/Eudlo/Diamond Valley and Glenview area. Currently the group has Judi Brown as its deputy and Ryan Cornett as communications officer. Jason said that once the group was fully established it would meet four times a year, with a full activation of the disaster plan once a year.

Visit Fairview and learn more

Four brothers - Stan, Ernest, William and Albert Pattemore - constructed Fairview, a sturdy farmhouse (also now known as Pattemore House) from white beech timber in 1907 for their parents, Emily and JR Pattemore. The family came to Maleny in 1906 from Central Tilba, where Emily and JR operated both a butchery and a property called Myrtle Vale. They raised their four sons and three daughters there and, according to family folklore, the 1902 drought was so severe that the Pattemore family decided to move to a farming area with more reliable rainfall. Bill and Stan heard of the lush Blackall Range in Queensland, then being promoted for its dairying opportunities. By 1906 they were cutting timber there and sawmilling at Maleny in partnership with Maleny fruit grower ET Thynne, as Thynne and Pattemore.

“What we need is someone to provide secretarial support to the meetings, administration of the group, support for the coordinator and deputy, and at times of emergency activation to be available to record all actions and duties as required," Jason said. "While we are in the initial set-up stage there will also be a requirement to meet regularly to fully establish the group." The purpose of the Mooloolah/Eudlo local disaster management community sub group is to establish a core group of people within the local community who possess the local knowledge and expertise to ensure that disaster management and disaster operations within the local area are managed. Interested? Then send an email to jasonmooloolah@gmail.com with information about you, why you would like to be considered for this volunteer post and, ideally, a resume, along with a telephone number so you can be contacted.

Bill and Stan were joined by their brothers Ernest and Albert in 1907 and together they built Fairview. The brothers pit-sawed the timber on the property, hand planed it and made six inch tongue and groove boards with a single beading. Fairview is significant as one of the few remaining buildings constructed in this way. Why not visit this beautifully preserved home to see its hand-sawn floor boards, walls and much more this Saturday. There will be house and garden tours, and you can take a look at the photographic, film and other displays, including a display of tools used for construction. When: Saturday, November 30, 1–4pm Where: 15 Porters Lane, Maleny What: Teas will be served on the wide verandahs and you can stock up on homemade jams and pickles. There's plenty of parking and disabled access.

They even provide free lessons to assist members to learn more about using their services. Our last get together for the year will be our Christmas party on Wednesday, December 4, which will be held at Glasshouse Mountains Sports Club at 11am. This will include Secret Santa, a trading table with lots of Christmas goodies, raffles and a buffet lunch. Anyone interested in joining us would be most welcome.

In welcoming Col, Chris pointed out that joining the world’s largest service organisation provided the opportunity to help your fellow man in times of need. Lions auxiliary chair Gail Farren reported on the donation of $300 worth of groceries to The Shack, a charitable organisation at Nambour. The ladies are also assisting with Trees of Hope, involving filling bags with essential items for the homeless and disadvantaged. The ladies also handled the catering for the recent RSL Remembrance Day service.

Excellence in denture care Registered dental prosthetist and senior dental technician Ric Whatling is the owner of Dentureland at Landsborough, taking over the long-running denture clinic from the previous owners Peter Langlois 18 months ago. With more than 30 years' experience, Ric is committed to providing excellence in denture care and prides himself on offering affordable quality work to the highest standards. With an additional certification in aged and community care, Ric is also very familiar with aged care facilities and environments, and mindful of the particular needs and concerns of the elderly. Local patients will be impressed that Ric specialises in same-day turn around, with repairs, relines and additions all done conveniently and hassle free in-house. A hinterland local, Ric is able to have patients come in by 9.30am and often have the finished work back by lunchtime! Ric understands that no one likes to be without their dentures for an extended period of time - so with a lab set up at his home in Eudlo as well as his office in Landsborough he is able to provide

a quick turnaround that is also much more cost effective. “These days it’s very rare to have a dental prosthetist who does all of the work needed inhouse, so because I don’t need to send anything away it works out much cheaper for my patients. For example, I recently had a client who was quoted over $2,700 somewhere else locally. They came to me and I was able to do same job with much faster turnaround for nearly half the price,” Ric said. Offering full and partial dentures, custom mouthguards and more, Ric deals directly with patients so no dentist referral is required. Unlike going to a dentist to get work done where moulds would need to be sent away, with his in-house service patients can save time and money. Ric is registered with all health funds and Veterans' Affairs. He is particularly passionate about creating natural-looking dentures that are custom made for his patients. With years of experience as a dental prosthetist and senior dental technician (Ric still works for Queensland Health two days a week), he offers integrity and excellent professional standards with all his work. Ric works in conjunction with a local Palmwoods-based technician with a professional hospital technician background for all of his chrome partial dentures, which means the work is of the best quality and Ric is happy to personally guarantee all work is of the highest standard. “I don’t stop until my patients are happy. I love connecting and really listening to what they want, and I’m committed to making sure I can get the best possible quality result for them with the least

Ric Whatling amount of time and money,” Ric said. He is available during regular business hours on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, and outside business hours if needed by appointment on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. All consultations are by appointment and a mobile service is available if required. Dentureland is located next to the Landsborough Medical Centre, at 3/3 Maleny Street, Landsborough (next to Sunshine Coast Skin Therapies). To find out more, please call Ric on 0402 744 614.

UnitingCare Australia and Target Beerwah recently launched their annual Christmas Appeal to raise funds to provide emergency relief and support to thousands of people doing it tough this Christmas. The appeal calls on all Queenslanders to support their community this festive season by buying a Christmas Appeal bauble from their local Target store. The simple act of buying a $1 bauble can make an incredible difference to Queenslanders in need, helping to reduce the financial strain to allow more people to experience the joy of Christmas. Christmas can be a difficult time of the year, with many people facing financial hardship and needing support with daily necessities such as food, shelter and basic living costs. UnitingCare Queensland group executive of child and family services Brent McCracken said this year it was hoped the appeal would raise $100,000 to support individuals and families experiencing hardship across the state. “The appeal encourages Queenslanders to be there for someone”, he said. “We’re incredibly grateful for all of the donations we receive through this appeal, with 100% of all Target Christmas Appeal contributions going directly to people in need. “We really do rely on the generosity of people in our community to dig deep, show compassion and support our appeal this Christmas,” Mr McCracken said. The Target Christmas Appeal runs until Christmas Eve on Tuesday, December 24.

Order Zo & Co cakes from your couch Zoe from Zo & Co cakes has been delighting local taste buds for the past seven years with her amazing, delicious creations. After changing her business name and opening her new commercial kitchen earlier this year, Zoe has gone one step further. The website has now been updated to include an easy-to-use, customisable ordering system to help locals order beautiful cakes online any time, day or night. The idea for website ordering came when she was chatting with a friend who said that due to her work schedule she wouldn't consider ordering anything if it couldn’t be done at 9pm from her couch! Zoe realised this was probably true for a lot of working families, so she added an online shop to her website with options for all of her most popular designs and flavours, complete with drop-down menus of customisable add-ons and design variations.

“I tried to include as many options as possible but there is also an enquiry form that can be filled in and sent to me if there is something in particular you are after that is not listed,” Zoe said. “All of the cakes are still handmade by me, so each cake can still be completely customised - the online system just makes it easier for people to let me know exactly what they want.” You can even book a time online for pick up or delivery. Free delivery is only available in certain areas but all delivery prices and availability are listed on the website and updated in your cart when you order. “My only requirement is that people order at least two weeks out from when the cake is needed,” Zoe said, as she hand makes all of her cakes from fresh, locally based ingredients so they taste just as good as they look. “I can still try to fit in last minute orders but it would be best to give me call on 0488 051 619 to see what can be arranged in that situation.” Zoe is still updating her website with more delicious options including a cupcake range and from December 1 you will be able to order some special Christmas treats such as macaron gift boxes. She is also able to provide laser cut cake toppers from SunRay Laser & Design. A standard range will be available online soon, though these can be custom ordered for you now. She also has a printer that can print an image of your choice onto icing to be used on your cake order. Zoe still offers a free one-hour consultation to discuss your cake needs. If you would like to have a chat to Zoe about your cake needs, call her on 0488 051 619 or simply order the cake of your dreams at www.zoandco.com.au.

When is a plum pudding a trophy? By Lea Parkes Since expanding the circulation of Glasshouse County News to include Maleny, the Maleny Bowls Club has become a regular sporting contributor to the newspaper. Over the past few years I noticed that around mid-October there was always a special acknowledgement to Kay Gesch who had done a great job in rallying the troops to make plum puddings for the major bowls fundraiser coming up early in November. Not being an avid sports fan but someone who definitely has a passing interest in Christmas pudding, it got me wondering what this was all about. Thanks to the research and interest of Maleny local Linda Fawkes, I can confirm that plum puddings have been making an annual appearance on the trophy table at Maleny Bowls Club for more than 30 years for what is now known as Plum Pudding Day. In the club’s 40th report dated October 6, 1986, Linda found the following quote: “We all entered in to the fun of a ‘Plum Pudding Day’, the men agreed it was a great idea” and the report was signed by Enid Neill, president, ladies section. Even though there was some concern raised in the 1988 report that you can get padding after too much pudding tasting, the day has clearly continued to be popular. Current club president Graeme Glover said the day had become such a popular event

Aileen Duckett with her plum pudding trophy that bowlers come from Pelican Waters, Caloundra, Maroochydore, Buderim, Woombye, Mapleton, Kilcoy and Palmwoods to participate. “Preparing for the day is quite a big job as we need approximately 20 plum puddings for game prizes, eight small puddings for the lucky table draw at lunch, as well as six puddings to serve as part of luncheon," Graeme said. “Plus we also take orders including gluten-free puddings to sell. “All the cooking is done by members past and present, young and old, which has involved around 20 people over the past couple of years. “Myth and legends speak of a clubhouse cookup sharing secrets and cooking up to a 100 puddings," he said. Any puddings not sold are used as a catering option for local groups who hold Christmas parties at the club as well as for visiting social bowls groups, served with some Maleny Dairies custard and cream. If you would like to see why these plum puddings are so popular here is the recipe supplied to Linda by Fay Peterson.

Plum Pudding Day pudding

Ingredients 700g mixed fruit 2 cups chopped dates 2 cups brown sugar 2 tablespoons plum jam 125g butter 2 cups water 4 teaspoons bicarb soda 4 cups plain flour 1 dessertspoon mixed spice 1 cup rum Method Place first six ingredients into saucepan and simmer until syrupy. Remove from heat, add bicarb soda, stir well and allow to cool. When cool add sifted plain flour, mixed spice and rum. Stir well. Spoon into a steamer leaving at least 3cm space at the top. Cover with a steamer lid or kitchen paper and tie securely around the rim of the bowl. Place steamer into large pot filled with boiling water and steam 3½-4 hours for large pudding, 2½ hours for medium pudding (depending on size), and up to 45 minutes for small. Place puddings on to upturned saucer on the bottom of the pot to stop them sticking to the basin base. Check water level in saucepan regularly and if necessary top up with boiling water. When cooked remove pudding from bowl allow to become cold and wrap in foil and store in the fridge. This mixture makes one or two medium and 3-4 smaller puddings. PS. Add an extra 60g of butter if you wish

Back to school with Beerwah News Another year almost gone, the festive season is upon us and thoughts of children heading back to school in the New Year are already starting. Beerwah Newsagency will once again be ready for your child’s back to school requirements. While the newsagency already supplies Beerwah and Peachester State Schools, it can assist with most schools' requirements. Beerwah Newsagency offers a unique service as your book list items do not have to be paid for until collection. At this busy and expensive time of year the newsagency team has found this is a great help for many families. All they ask is that you get your lists to them as early as possible to allow ample time for the packs to be finalised and to minimise the last minute rush that often occurs in the few days before school restarts. Remember, you don’t pay until collection. So simply drop in your lists and the team will advise on prices.

The newsagency also has an extensive range of slip-on book covers to simplify the frustrating covering process. These covers are high quality and last from year to year. For a number of years Beerwah Newsagency has assisted Beerwah State School and in the past few years has assisted Peachester State School by donating a percentage of the total book pack sales to them. Over the past eight years this has equated to just over $22,000. This demonstrates the importance of developing a relationship with local businesses as it proves beneficial to all. By supporting local business, you in turn reap the rewards of your loyalty through their generosity in giving back to the community. Les and Merrilyn together with Grant and Gabby have 26 years of experience in newsagencies and have been processing school book lists for all that time.

Beerwah Newsagency is a true family business. They have made Beerwah their home and welcome and appreciate the support of the local community. So drop in and talk to them and their team members Jayme, Amber and Ash so they can endeavour to make your back to school stationery requirements as stress free as possible.

You Said It Counting the scientists

In reply to Fred Gee (GC&M News, November 13), the statement I made is based on a study by Anderegg et al 2010. In that study it was determined that 97-98% of the 200 mostpublished climate scientists supported the International Panel on Climate Change in saying that recent global warming has been mostly caused by human activities. Another study asked nearly 2,000 scientists a series of questions (including ones about the Sun) and got similar results (Verheggen 2014). Interestingly, in their replies, those who said that human influence on climate change was insignificant also reported having had the most media coverage. Perhaps that helps explain why some of the public do not realise the high number of scientists who actually agree that the planet is warming dangerously and that humans are causing it. And please note - I am not arguing because I want to be right. I am deeply saddened by the crisis we are facing and wish we could just get on with solutions. Wendy Hodgins North Maleny

Community engagement

I refer to the community's rightful concerns and ongoing reports relating to the Sunshine Coast Council's approach to community engagement, transparency and accountability. Becoming a council that operates in a transparent manner is well beyond simply live-streaming council chamber debates and decision-making. The fact of the matter is that for each and every decision made, significant planning, work and recommendations are developed over months and sometimes years. Additionally, many decisions and projects are part of a broader departmental strategy and actually don't even make it to the chamber floor for voting. In leading the way on transparency we need to search for a best practice model and collaborate with our community to develop a council that is inclusive and truly transparent. For incoming councillors this means understanding the true role of community engagement and its ability to shape the future while also reducing scope creep, costs and issues that impact on the successful operations of council. Community or stakeholder engagement is not a fluffy waste of time.

model of community engagement. However, I believe this model is outdated. I have consistently seen this model manipulated in government to justify an "inform" approach to community engagement rather than "consult". I would like to see our council move towards a hybrid model of community engagement that also capitalises on co-design and approaches implemented by engagement specialists and leaders such as Twyfords and 2ndRoad. If elected, I will be advocating for a new model of true engagement being designed in collaboration with the community and this model integrated with the way our council does business on a dayto-day basis.

Goodnight sweet prince

On November 9, our cat, a ragdoll, was ambushed on our property, and killed by dogs belonging to a neighbour. We are devastated by the brutal death of our cat and our hearts go out to others who have suffered and who are suffering the terrible results of others irresponsible dog ownership. It is hard for us to understand how dog owners that have multiple dogs can leave them for long periods of time in the back yard without supervision or any form of enrichment such as bones or toys and then seldom, if ever, walk them despite there being a dog park just a five minute walk away. For the past two years we have been subjected to three dogs digging under our fence and fighting with each other, as well as their uncontrolled barking. The council has been assisting us in dealing with this matter and in return, we have supplied them with detailed records that we hope will enable them to take the strongest action possible under the current laws regarding animal management. However, council representatives can only do so much. People who fail to look after their dogs appropriately may, wittingly or unwittingly, make monsters out of otherwise decent animals. Irresponsible pet owners are completely out of touch with community expectations, that where we reside, must be peaceful and safe. The needs of the selfish few do not outweigh the needs of the many. Farewell Henry. “Now cracks a noble heart, goodnight sweet prince and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest”. Name supplied Glass House Mountains

Climate change debate

I'm reading a lot of information about our climate and whether we are changing it. My opinion vacillates from one viewpoint to the next, depending on which article I'm reading. Perhaps if we gave more credence to ex-prime minister expert Tony Abbott (“Climate change is crap”) and current Prime Minister optimist Scott Morrison (“Coal is beautiful”) we could all stop worrying and get on with our lives.

New Beerwah shopping centre

Shopping centres have one aim – to destroy/ eliminate the little shops that are already struggling and to have a monopoly all for themselves. There is absolutely NO NEED for another centre, particularly where it is proposed. This corner is already very busy at any time being a major four-way intersection. And with more traffic from the centre, what will it be like coming in and coming out? We came to Australia almost 50 years ago and we have seen so much change since and many not for the better. There used to be so many little shops here and there and not many selling the same items. Today in the centres, many shops have the same products for sale and so many are empty, or with very few clientele. And don’t get me started about parking … this is another headache subject. It does not make any sense. Wake up Australia. Do not imitate the world. Stay the way YOU WERE. We have a story in France about a toad who wants to be as big as a bull, so he puffs himself up and up and up and … explodes and dies. Australia, do not be like that toad. Just be yourself and let the rest of the world struggle to stay alive. Beerwah is growing without another centre. There are shops in Glass House Mountains, Beerburrum and there is also already a development approval in Glass House Mountains for a shopping centre. What about all those … do they count in your agenda? Please assess the development not in dollars but in objectivity and keep in mind the little businesses that have kept Australia going for so long – as someone called them “the little battlers”. We/you need them. Pierre and Danielle Beerburrum

Outdoor classroom day and exciting new playground plans Glasshouse Early Education Centre participated in the annual Outdoor Classroom Day held on Thursday, November 7. This was a great opportunity for educators to take the children's learning outdoors for the day and see what magic happened. Centre coordinator Dee Shaw said when children are given the time and space to engage in learning environments in the great outdoors, it can have positive impacts across all aspects of their learning and development. She said with sustained outdoor play, educators see improvements in self-regulation, a sense of wellbeing, pure joy with connecting to nature, peer groups excited to learn with a shared vision and children who can feel inhibited by an indoor curriculum often thrive in an outdoor environment. “When adults think back to their own happiest memories of childhood, they frequently recall the joy of playing outdoors,” Dee said. “Play is not only central to children’s enjoyment of childhood but teaches critical life skills such as problem-solving, teamwork and creativity. “Here at the centre we believe that having our children out and about in nature, both at the centre and in the community, is amazing for their mind, body and soul.” Some of the highlights of the day included science exploration with shaving foam and colours, which the children loved! Dee said educators posed some

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

scientific questions such as how to mix the colours in the shaving foam and what foam feels like (soft, squishy). They extended their research by adding ice to the mix, observing how the shaving foam colour would go on the ice bricks. The children then added natural leaves and paint to their science experiment to take their learning and creativity to the next level. Meanwhile, some other friends explored transferring water from one place to another, with the educators extending the children's learning by asking "how will we transfer the water from the trough to the wheelbarrow?". “We loved seeing the children working collaboratively as a team to problem solve how to achieve their shared vision and have a fun time as they did so,” Dee said. “It was a really fun day for all of us!” Glasshouse Early Education Centre is excited to announce that its long-awaited playground renovations will be taking place over the coming weeks. This will be a complete re-naturalisation of the centre's outdoor learning spaces to embrace nature play teaching and holistic philosophy

for children's learning. Dee said she was looking forward to bringing back the excitement of ‘risky' play and challenge to play spaces, which seem to have disappeared from early learning centres over the past decade. Risky play involves children experimenting and pushing themselves to figure out what will happen, without knowing the exact outcome. If children don’t go far enough with their play, it can get boring and if they go too far, it gets too scary. Dee said it was important that children were given the trust and opportunity to test out their environments and determine what they were comfortable with. When children engage in play, they are actually researching how the world around them works, how their body works and that they have power and control over their learning, she said. “Risky play in early childhood can help develop a child’s selfconfidence, resilience, executive functioning abilities and riskmanagement skills,” Dee said. “Not to mention that when children engage in risky play it can actually reduce the risk of injury as they learn to listen to their body cues.” It is all in a day's work for the children at Glasshouse Early Education Centre and the centre educators are proud to support the children as they grow into happy, confident and innovative risk takers in the future. Watch this space for renovation updates.

Note from the Mayor This year we have achieved some major milestones with our region shaping projects, but I’m especially proud of the work that council has been able to do with a wide cross section of community representatives to develop our proposed new Community Strategy. Our region has a history that intrinsically connects with its natural landscape and waterways and the way in which our communities have developed over time reflects these connections. Our proposed new Community Strategy 2019-2041 is a product of the engagement we have had with members of our community and seeks to reflect their aspirations for our Sunshine Coast – both today and in 20 years’ time. The collective vision of Together we Thrive is a strong common thread across all of the feedback and messages we have received in developing this Strategy. The proposed strategy will be considered by council before the end of the year. What makes our community special is our ability to support and reach out, not just to our friends and family, but to our neighbours, acquaintances and community groups. We open our homes to others in times of natural disasters, we turn out in great numbers to show our commitment and we make time to share with those most in need. Working together makes for a stronger community and that is what the proposed strategy seeks to achieve. It is very much a part of realising our goal to be Australia’s most sustainable region – healthy, smart, creative.

New main street for Landsborough The historic town of Landsborough is at the heart of our growing region and will soon have a new look, with the concept design for Cribb Street nalised. Over the past two years, more than 800 community voices have shaped the Landsborough Place Making Master Plan, to breathe new life into the country town. As part of the place making project, $3.3 million will be injected into Cribb Street. What we have heard so far, is that the community wants a place for people with improved transport, a beautiful and defined town core which retains an authentic country town look and feel. It really will be a place for all lifestyles with a village atmosphere and gathering spaces specifically designed to sustain Landsborough as a loved destination. To do this, the place making team and residents have drawn on Landsborough’s rich heritage which will continue to be celebrated in the designs for its future. It’s great to see so many energised community members and businesses roll up their sleeves to deliver exciting miniprojects to bring Cribb Street to life. We saw an opportunity to provide a place that can be a focus for community life, which will be enjoyed by current and future generations. Construction of the Streetscape Project is expected to start late February 2020. I welcome your feedback on the masterplan by contacting my office at Division1@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and safe New Year. Mark Jamieson.

Glass House Mountains District Park has been hailed the playground capital of the hinterland with new pathways, a playground extension and eye-catching public art for completion in December, while nearby Turner Park now offers an impressive 8.5 metre high, multi-level tower and slide. I am always trying to improve our parks and welcome more ideas, so please get in touch! Beerwah is making a big splash with a $1.8 million upgrade at the District Aquatic Centre. The major upgrade offers the centre a new 17 metre heated and covered pool with accessibility features including a wheelchair ramp. There’s also a new entry and refurbished amenities. The upgrade comes just in time for summer, meeting the growing demands in the township and surrounds. The new ‘Rail to Trail’ track will offer hikers an adventurous journey connecting the southern Glass House Mountains National Park experience, to the rail line and Beerburrum township. Having acquired the parkland at High Sreet, the existing shelter and table at Peachester Town Park are proposed to be replaced early next year, with a heritage look shelter in keeping with the town’s vernacular.

As I hope you can see from this community update, it’s been a great year for Division 1 especially with our new and upgraded parks. In this last edition of the term, I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and New Year. If you’re looking for things to do in the upcoming holidays, check out adventure.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au, council’s interactive map of trails for walking, cycling and even canoeing. I also want to remind you to check out developmenti.sunshinecoast. qld.gov.au, for real time information about development applications. I supported our roll out of this much more user-friendly approach as I believed it was important for complete information about development to be easily accessible to the whole community, not just those with a technical interest. Finally, enjoy our remarkable region, and as always you can contact me to discuss any council issues.

Living - Arts Glass House Mountains the winner Sippy Downs resident Shane Farmer’s photograph of the Glass House Mountains at sunset has been declared the winner of federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace’s 2019 #Photos of Fisher Christmas card competition. Now in its third year, the competition asked Sunshine Coast residents to submit photographs of our stunning region. Joining Mr Farmer in the shadow of the mountains, Mr Wallace congratulated him on winning the competition. "I want to say a huge thank you to him and to everyone who submitted an image for doing such a great job of showcasing our spectacular region,” Mr Wallace said. The winning image will be featured on the front cover of Mr Wallace’s Christmas card,

Andrew Wallace and Shane Farmer near Mt Coonowrin with his winning entry

which is widely distributed in Fisher, and will be printed on canvas and hung in Parliament House in Canberra. “This year, I hope the image on my Christmas card will also stand as a beautiful reminder for Sunshine Coast residents of local legend Ivon Northage, who sadly passed away this month, and the mountains that he loved so much,” he said. For the competition, Mr Wallace asked people living in the electorate of Fisher to submit photographs of the region by uploading them to Instagram with the hashtag #photosoffisher and the location they were taken. The competition received scores of entries featuring a wide variety of subjects and locations. “We had images from Alexandra Headland and Mooloolaba, from Glass House Mountains, Maleny and Kawana. We received photographs of mountains and beaches, of course, but also stunning pictures of local residents at work and play. It was a real pleasure looking through all of the natural and man-made wonders that our region has to offer, but Shane’s image really stood out,” he said. More of Mr Farmer’s photography can be seen on his Instagram page @sweet.as.fotos. The previous two winners of the competition were Jacky Vonhoff of Maleny and Lyn Crandon of Dicky Beach, and their photographs will also continue to hang in Mr Wallace’s parliamentary office alongside the 2019 winner.

Health Check Adrenal glands With Sallyann Stewart

Constantly stressed and tired? Catching everything that goes around? Always sick with a cold or the flu? It may be your adrenals! The adrenal glands are responsible for the production of cortisol. Cortisol helps us respond well in times of stress but constant stress causes a maladaptive response that can lead to fatigue, feelings of anxiety, poor sleep and impaired immunity. The adrenal glands contain the highest amount of vitamin C of any organ. When under stress our need for vitamin C increases, leaving our body open to oxidative stress and inflammation. Cortisol, our main stress hormone, also directly inhibits the function of our immune cells, leaving us open to infection. When under stress the adrenal glands release pulses of cortisol. Once this fightor-flight response helped us survive. Nowadays we live in an era that constantly puts us in fight-or-flight mode causing our cortisol to be constantly elevated. Over time this causes an imbalance in the cortisol diurnal pattern resulting in morning exhaustion, difficulty getting to and staying asleep and an overall inability to handle stress. Did you know that there are proven natural remedies that can help reduce stress, support your adrenal glands and improve your immunity?

While we might want to have a jolly old time through Christmas, the mountain of pressures that surround the festive season can sometimes make it less than enjoyable. If you want to be stress free this holiday season then head to a workshop at Maleny Library on Monday, December 9 at 2pm or Beerwah Library on Wednesday, December 11 at 1pm. Stress should not be ignored as it can affect every area of our lives, including relationships, sleep, digestion, immunity and overall long-term health. Join kinesiology practitioner Ruth Hoston, from Finding Balance Kinesiology, for a closer look at stress and how to manage it. You will discover how the body reacts to and stores stress as well as gaining practical tips on identifying the causes of stress, reducing stress and improving wellbeing. Learn how to navigate the stressful situations that arise during the festive season using mindfulness, gratitude and tapping. The workshop is free to attend but registration is essential. Bookings can be made via https://library.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/Whats-On or by phoning 5475 8989.

BreastScreen Queensland taking appointments in Beerwah

With one in eight Australian women being diagnosed with breast cancer by the age of 85, it is the most common cancer diagnosed in Queensland women. While anyone can develop breast cancer, women aged between 50 and 74 are most at risk and early detection is key. BreastScreen Queensland recommends women in this age group are screened once every two years. With clinics located across the Sunshine Coast, BreastScreen Queensland currently has a mobile site in Beerwah for women to book in for their free breast screen appointment – no doctor’s referral needed. BreastScreen Queensland Sunshine Coast clinical director, Dr Alison Roper, says there are three major lifestyle factors associated with an increased risk of breast cancer - inactivity, high alcohol intake and being overweight. By making simple lifestyle choices to maintain a healthy diet and weight, increasing physical activity and reducing alcohol intake, women can actively help to reduce the likelihood of developing this devastating disease. Along with leading a healthy lifestyle, the single most effective way to reduce your risk of fatal breast cancers is with regular breast screens. To book your free breast screen appointment with BreastScreen Queensland, visit www.breastscreen.qld.gov.au or call 13 20 50.

with Jan Flynn from Maleny Film Society

Joan Stanley is a retired octogenarian living a quiet life in an English suburb when the unthinkable happens. The British Secret Service places her under arrest. The charge - passing classified information to the Soviet Union over decades, including details on how to make an atomic bomb. During the intensive interrogation that follows, Joan relives her life, revealing the reasons why as a young physics student at Cambridge in the 1930s she begins to question her acceptance of Western ideology. This ideological about-turn is caused by her relationship with Russian fellow student Leo Galich (Tom Hughes), who convinces her that world peace is only possible if both the USA and USSR have the same access to the knowledge required for manufacturing nuclear weaponry. Working in a top secret nuclear research facility, Joan believes she has to make a decision. Should she betray her country in order to save it? The older Joan is played by the perennial Judi Dench and the younger Joan by Sophie Cookson. This thought-provoking espionage drama, based on a real life event, is supported by strong acting and raises moral questions that challenge the viewer about both past and present geopolitical relations. The film is of particular interest to any of us who lived through the Cold War period (which is everyone over the age of 28). Decide for yourself - is Joan a traitor enlisted by the young Russian she loved, or is she a naive patriot protecting everything she loves?

4 Ingredients Christmas

The traditions of Christmas are very old and we enjoy the different and various ancient reminders of Christmas past as we gather with friends and family each year. But did you know that the roots of our Christmas tradition predate the birth of Jesus by more than 700 years? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true. The prophet Isaiah was sent to confront kings in Judah and in his book are the messages God gave him warning them of his displeasure at their continuing disobedience. But Isaiahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book is also about Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unveiling of the platform, plans and preparations for the coming of the Messiah Jesus who would change everything in the future. Isaiah was the architect of all future Christmases as he revealed the need and the purpose of this Messiah who was to come. Isaiah revealed the future advent of a Messiah who would bring about monumental and eternal changes to all earthly governments. Over history, people have despaired at the crumbling of one government over another and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like it will get any better in this life. Isaiah envisioned the return of a DQ $XVWUDOLDQ &KULVWLDQ &KXUFK

Pastor Scott Kroger Maleny Presbyterian Church government of and by God himself. Amidst Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judgement upon the earth in all ages springs a promise of hope and blessing that we, the remnant of Christians still left, can cling victoriously to. Isaiah foresaw Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bringing forth a shoot that became a remnant that became a kingdom the Messiah would rule. Isaiah speaks of the gods of comfort that have surrounded our lives and occupy our thinking and life. In the Old Testament are themes of desperation, depression and darkness that are met with Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace and mercy. Complete nobodies became pivotal and important leaders of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, we see a significant change as God allows every Christian to play a significant role in the history of the Kingdom of God. Christmas got started here as the need for a Christchild was made known and understood. It paved the way for how this Messiah would come and accomplish the salvation of humankind. Happy Nativity Day!

Remarkable form, comfort and low environmental impact By Sonia Clark The incredible work of design team Norm Richards and Fiona Briody, from Norman Richards building design + interiors in Maleny, and their national award win trifecta was featured on GC&M News' front cover on November 7. Noted for their elegant design work that blends beautifully into the surrounding landscape, Norm said his initial inspiration for both commercial and residential design always came from the site, with

an eye to proportion and clean lines to enhance expression of the space. With an inherent belief in the benefit of sustainable design, as well as low environmental impact buildings and interiors, wherever possible spaces are assessed to incorporate existing, recyclable and surrounding natural materials. One of their recent wins was for the residential design of R-B House in Maleny, which was originally a four-bay shed, renovated on a tight budget into a comfortable family home. With a goal to make their designs look as simple and graceful as possible, Norm and Fiona put an incredible amount of thought into the project to ensure a finished product that is elegant while also using less embodied energy, minimising artificial heating and cooling and in harmony with its environment. “Good design, like many endeavours, requires a lot of work to make the result appear effortless,” Norm said. He said his general approach to design was to be as understated as possible while still retaining elements of comfort and elegance. Ideally, he seeks to use restraint to allow the building to disappear into the surrounding space. “My goal is to design buildings

that enhance their surroundings with spaces that make people feel good, whether that’s as simple as being warm in winter and cool in summer, the joy of natural light, or the subtle feeling of contentment from being in a well-proportioned space," Norm said. The team has been blessed with some great likeminded clients who share the innovative vision of the designers. Norm said that he loves what he does and feels that he has to pinch himself every day to be working with such great clients. Projects are designed using 3D gaming-based software and real time rendering allowing design from the inside out. “The software lets us walk around inside the virtual spaces. When we have finished a project our clients often comment that it is just like the model! At the end of the day, our design goal is to enhance the experience of each site while maximising comfort and sustainability,” Norm said.

Take care when lighting up

Have you been thinking about lighting up your home for Christmas this year? If you are, GC&M News would love to hear from you so we can include your listing in our Christmas features to be published on December 11 and 18 (see ad on page 16). We would, however, like to remind locals that while there are plenty of Christmas lights and other powered decorations on sale in stores and online, Energex is urging people to be careful that what they’re buying doesn’t end up being an electrical or fire hazard. Last year Energex was made aware of Christmas lights being sold with deadly exposed 240 volt wires and there’s a chance similar faulty decorations could still be on the market – particularly online. Energex’s safety adviser Kevin Hore said anyone looking for new electrical Christmas decorations should take a few precautions before handing over their cash. “Any Christmas decoration you plug into the wall is ultimately still an electrical appliance and, just like buying a toaster or kettle, you want to be sure what you’re purchasing doesn’t put you or your family at risk,” he said. “When shopping in store or online for Christmas lights you want to be sure you’re purchasing them from a reputable seller and they comply with Australian Safety Standards. “Once you’re satisfied your new decorations and lights are quality products, before you plug them in check them for any obvious faults or frayed cords because they could have been damaged during shipping. “Buying cheap Christmas lights and other powered decorations may seem like an attractive proposition now but the serious safety risks faulty or low-quality items can pose may far outweigh the savings later on,” Kevin warned.

Cleaning gutters is an unpleasant task at any time of the year but in this current bushfire season it is important to ensure that your gutters are free of debris that can become a fire hazard. Leaf Shield Gutter Protection’s Leafmesh prevents the build-up of leaves and other blockages, stops embers from getting underneath the roof and gives you peace of mind that your gutters are free from leaves and debris throughout the fire season. The heavy duty polyethylene product has been engineered to suit Australia’s harsh conditions and has UV stabilisers to retain strength and colour. It can be fixed to both tiled and steel roofs and comes with a 15 year guarantee. As well as preventing the build-up of leaves, Leafmesh also helps keep rats, snakes, birds, possums and other pests from gutters. This improves the quality and sanitation of water and, because the flow is unrestricted by blockages, more water ends up in the tank, which is vital with today’s water shortages and restrictions. Installing the Leafmesh system removes the hassle and danger of having to get on the roof and clean the gutters yourself. It’s a multi-purpose solution for an everyday problem. Leaf Shield consultants will visit your property to measure and quote the most appropriate gutter mesh for your particular roof or leaf type. They also offer a free gutter clean prior to installation. Call 1300 362 246 to arrange a free measure and quote from one of their experienced gutter guard specialists.

NEVER clean your gutters again Install now and SAVE! • Bushfire rated gutter guard! • Stop Snakes, Rats & Possums! • • Protect against Jacarandas and Pine Needles! • Bird proofing! • • Stop leaves from blocking your gutters! • Improve the quality of your tank water! •

Local residents are being urged to keep their rainwater tank safe this summer with regular, effective maintenance. Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service (SCHHS) manager environmental health, Peter Dyer, said using rainwater tanks involved low maintenance, not no maintenance. “Like all drinking water supplies, rainwater systems need to be monitored. The associated maintenance is not too onerous but it is necessary,” Mr Dyer said. “Monitoring your rainwater tank is an important responsibility, consisting of a range of visual inspections rather than laboratory testing of rainwater quality. Maintenance is needed to maintain good water quality and prevent mosquitoes breeding.” Here are the top monitoring and maintenance activities that will help you keep your rainwater tank system safe: • Clean gutters (six-monthly and after storms) • Clear first flush device of debris (monthly and after storms) • Check for evidence of animal, bird or insect access (six-monthly) • Check roof and gutters for accumulated debris including leaf and other plant material (six-monthly) • Check and trim overhanging branches (six-monthly) • Inspect and repair downpipes, check condition of the roof (six-monthly) • Check tanks for sludge accumulation (at least every 2-3 years). If sludge is covering the bottom of the tank, siphon it out or completely empty the tank. Professional tank cleaners operate in many areas • Prevent tanks and gutters from becoming breeding sites for mosquitoes by insect screening Rainwater is generally safe to drink providing it is clear, has little taste or smell, and is from a well maintained system. Mr Dyer said that for most people, especially those who had been drinking rainwater for most of their lives, there would be very little health risk in drinking rainwater, provided the rainwater collection and storage system was well maintained. “However, there are some members of the community for whom microorganisms (such as bacteria), when present in rainwater, could pose health risks, including infants, the elderly and immune-compromised people such as transplant, dialysis, HIV or cancer patients with severely weakened immune systems,” Mr Dyer said. “These people should consider disinfecting the water before drinking or cooking with it. You can do this by boiling the water.”

Community herb garden sprouts

Landsborough’s first community herb garden has sprung to life with the first plantings going in recently. The garden is located under one of the shelter sheds in the park near Landsborough train station. It is part of a Cribb Street upgrade and Sunshine Coast Council’s broader Landsborough Place Making Master Plan currently under development. The idea for a herb garden came from Landsborough locals Sue Eadie and Bekky Hoge, who are both volunteers working with council to implement the project. "Fresh herbs are great for eating and using in cooking, so we thought it would be fun to create a convenient place where locals can get them for free," said Sue, the director of KinderMarlee Early Childhood Centre just a block away. "Once the plants are growing nicely and are well established, we are more than happy for people to pick a few sprigs of their favourite herb to toss through whatever they are eating at home," she said. "All we’re asking for in return is that people help keep the herbs growing strongly by watering them as they pass by," said Bekky, a volunteer with Landsborough’s Rural Fire Brigade. "We’ve made it easy by leaving a couple of watering cans next to the garden. The tap is just a couple of steps away," she said.

In the Garden

Gardening diary dates – December

Jobs for the yard in December

• If you haven’t done it yet, prune your azaleas to keep them nice and compact, and give them a feed with azalea fertiliser. Spray them with a systemic insecticide to protect the leaves from the dreaded azalea lace bug. • The wet humid weather is heaven for vegetable caterpillars and grasshoppers. They can strip leafy green veges overnight. Hand remove or spray with a natural spray (such as Success or Dipel) every couple of days. Remember that water washes off any sprays, so retreat after rain or overhead irrigation. • Watch out for fruit fly in your tomatoes. You can protect your tomatoes by using an insect exclusion bag or by a chemical spray designed for the job. You can use a baited trap but most only capture the male flies, so are best used as an indicator of fruit fly activity. A good one to try is Eco Naturelure that attracts both the male and female fruit flies and contains a natural insecticide to kill them. My advice is not to spray it onto the | plants you want to protect as it will attract the fruit flies to them before killing them. I suggest spraying a nearby fence or other structures nearby to lure the flies away from your precious fruits. • Fertilise your bananas and cut out any suckers you don’t want. For each mature plant you should have one sapling and one sucker. Regularly remove yellowing leaves to keep the clump tidy. • Paw paw trees that have grown too tall can be cut back now. Cut the stem to 1m off the ground and cover the cut top with a large can. • Prune back your grevilleas by a third and feed them with a low phosphorus fertiliser. This simulates the plant to grow back if burnt by a bushfire, and stimulates them to grow more branches – more branches means more flowers. • Don’t forget to slip-slop-slap when you go out in the garden, even if it is for a short period. Try to do most of the work in the mornings or the afternoons so you miss the heat of the day. Take a water bottle with you too – keeping well hydrated is just as important. • Tidy up the garden for Santa – he doesn’t think too highly of a messy garden. Vegetables Plant tomato, capsicum, snake bean, okra, eggplant, sweet corn, lettuce (leafy varieties), radish, sweet potato, cucumber, zucchini, choko, pumpkin, rockmelon, watermelon and rosella. Flowers Plant cosmos, marigold, salvia, zinnia, begonia, celosia, gomphrena, sunflower, torenia, ageratum, aster, impatiens and coleus.

Glenview Mooloolah Tennis Club Contributed by Ray Semmens Summer tennis is now under way with the Australian Open coming up in January. Our senior teams have just concluded their season with two of our teams reaching the grand finals. In division two the Mungrels won their grand final and in division three the Maddogs were runners up, which was a fantastic effort by all players. Well done.

In the juniors our team in division two, the Meerkatz, are again in the finals, so good luck boys. All of our other teams played exceptionally well and are getting great experience. The club has three excellent Plexipave courts for hire to non-members and social players. We also have a Thursday social night starting at 7pm for players of all standards, so come along and join in.

Contributed by Brenda Briese Saturday, November 16: First round of the Beerwah Cup, which is an honour board event, played over two days. Due to a storm at about 2pm, the field was called in and some ladies chose not to continue with only 13 ladies completing the day. Sunday, November 17 unfortunately had to be abandoned due to the crazy hail storm. So the winner was decided on the first round. Vanessa Aland on 69 nett, won on a count back from Mary Hepburn from Caloundra Golf Club. Thursday, November 21: A stableford event in two divisions with 62 players. Division one winner was Meg Ferran with 39 points from Karen Madsen 35. Division two winner was Lorraine Dillon 36 points on a count back from Robyn Ryan 36 points. NTPs: 2 — Meg Ferran, 5 — Margaret Goodger, 16 — Sonia Kenway, 18 (second shot) — Pauline Mason. Birdie box: Meg Ferran. BRD went to 34 points. The rain over the weekend has greened up the fairways so why not come out for a social game.

You should spend the next couple of days with an eye towards future long-term goals and investments. There is also the sense of shopping for bargains that require you to act over the next week. You may be delighted with surprise invitations. GEMINI May 22 - June 23 The planet Neptune is in a dreamy state and may be confused with Pisces energy, so your business sector will at last shift attention away from unrealistic ideals, since it now turns direct from a long retrograde period. Also, your faith pays off and happy exciting surprises await you in love, money and sudden new chances. Take the lead! CANCER June 24 - July 22 There are some fortuitous developments in connection with career interests and there may be a time that you should set aside for medical check-ups. Definitely take heed of your intuition that may prompt you to have a special test. There should be someone this week who is there in perfect timing to listen to your daily troubles.

then, come on in.” The second guy does the same thing. The doorman says: “You can’t come in here with a dog.” Second guy replies: “I’m blind and this is my seeing-eye dog.” The doorman says: “You have a Chihuahua for a seeing-eye dog?” The second guy stops for a second and exclaims: “They gave me a Chihuahua?”

LEO July 23 – August 22 The New Moon in a fellow Fire sign, Sagittarius, makes you want to travel, explore the world, enlarge your views on life and hopefully connect with happy fellow travellers. Do not get caught up in foggy ideals of other family members. There may be a surprise attraction, an exciting possibility of the arrival of friends. Be ambitious now. VIRGO August 23 – September 22 The New Moon, mid-week, supports you through the weekend with both giving and receiving encouragement. This is because it supports joining forces with others and cooperation is the key to action. On Friday, this free-spirited day is ideal for taking chances and making forward-looking plans. This may even continue to the weekend. LIBRA September 23 - October 22 The planet Venus has now entered Capricorn and brings you home to nest and organise yourself. The New Moon, being in Sagittarius, has positive interactions and you should listen to your gut instincts about any medical advice. The reason being, Neptune is now going direct at long last in the sign of Pisces. Meaning more clarity for you. SCORPIO October 23 - November 22 The week ahead will be favourable for organising and developing your financial strategies. Neptune favours consulting with experts. Trust in your own intuitive promptings after listening to the wisdom of other experts. You need not push yourself to act recklessly it is better to have some patience. Enjoy new people, places and activities.

SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 Mid-week this New Moon is in your own sign. This means you are to set your intuiting, goals and wishes for 2020. Reach for the stars and reach out for what you would want, plant any seeds for any success and happiness. With Neptune in Pisces going direct this brings matters regarding home and family into clarity now. CAPRICORN December 23 - January 19 This New Moon week inspires insightful connections that develop via research in periods of seclusion. This is because Neptune at last moves direct after a long term of giving you confusion and trying to sort out your thoughts, all by yourself. At the weekend, with the Moon in your sign, you will be in the mood to take on any initiatives. AQUARIUS January 20 - February 19 Since the mid-week New Moon is in the positive sign of Sagittarius, you should find your holiday moods boosted and inspiration and optimism is the social marker for you, drawing you into likely activities and travel with long-term friends. Neptune in Pisces now goes direct. Contact with Mercury is good for finances. PISCES February 20 - March 20 This New Moon in Sagittarius can formulate a plan over the week to put you on a new career or life path. Regarding this, you will need to read the signs sent to you from the universe with Neptune now moving direct to sharpen your skill in psychic awareness. Venus and Uranus, together, quicken the pace as people arrive unexpectedly.
