FROM THE EDITOR AS I sit and write my column on a slightly cool Friday morning at the very end of August, I am rather looking forward to September and it finally being spring – my favourite time of the year! My desire for spring is that usually, for us at GC&M News, we notice that things start to get busier on the event front, with lots more things happening. I realise in this COVID world nothing is guaranteed but in this edition we definitely have quite a lot of events featured, so fingers crossed we get to head along to quite a lot of them. One particular event I am really looking forward to is the Glasshouse Country Chamber of Commerce’s local producers dinner, which is happening at the beautiful Hideaway Weddings venue in Beerwah. You can check out the menu in their ad on page 8.

Baring all for mental health

story

By Jack Waters THE Barefoot Dutchman, Anton Nootenboom, recently visited Beerwah State High School as he edges closer to breaking a Guinness World Record. The 34-year-old is walking barefoot from Sydney to Cairns, a 2,600km journey, all in the name of men’s mental health. It’s been quite the journey up until this point for Anton, who became the ﬁrst person to reach the Mount Everest base camp in his bare feet, raising funds for remote communities in the Himalayas.

Anton with Beerwah State School students

Anton was born in the Netherlands and migrated to Sydney’s northern beaches after serving 10 years in the Dutch Army, including three missions in Afghanistan. He is now a construction worker and has seen ﬁrst-hand how problematic these masculine environments can be for men doing it tough. Anton and his hardened feet have raised more than $25,000 since beginning the journey from Cairns on May 8, with a goal to top $100,000 by the time he arrives in Sydney. As you can imagine, Anton says he has had been some challenges along the way. “The condition of the Bruce Highway, being made from gravel and tar, it’s just unbearable to walk on. If I had known up front that the road was going to be like this I probably never would have thought of doing it,” he laughed. Anton said the generosity of strangers had overwhelmed him and made the rough roads and cold nights much easier to bear, with people tracking him online via his GPS signal and bringing warm meals to his temporary roadside campsite.

Beerwah State High School students (some dressed for book week) with principal Lyn McDonald (in black) and Anton “The highlight has been getting into these towns and smaller communities and people reaching out,” he said. “Even now, standing here at the school and being able to talk to a whole bunch of kids, it’s amazing. It makes you want to go 100 miles an hour when you remember why you’re doing it.” Although it was obvious how much the students at Beerwah State High loved hearing Anton’s story, it was clear that this journey meant just as much to him. “I’m just learning a lot about myself again,” he said. “Like I said, it’s an ongoing process

and it’s opening doors for me to do more with it, so I’m very passionate about that. “I’m hoping that this journey opens up people’s minds that it’s completely ﬁne to have emotions and speak about your mental health. “I want people to speak up before they man up and to create that balance between building resilience and knowing there is safety to speak up whenever you need to,” Anton said.

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

Local mobile coverage woes continue EVER since 2014, when the Liberal/ National Party federal government instigated the Mobile Black Spot Program initiative, the Glass House Mountains area has been identiﬁed as a problem area time and time again. Many reasons have been given for poor reception … even electromagnetic interference from the Glass House Mountains. Although there have been some improvements in service since then, thanks to investment through the initiative and by individual mobile communication providers, the mobile phone coverage locally remains sub-par compared to other areas. Glass House Mountains local Mike Hoban recently shared with GC&M News his plight since moving here in October 2019. Mr Hoban was taken aback by the lack of or low level of mobile phone coverage here. Fortunately, the previous owners of his family’s house had a Telstra smart antenna ﬁtted at a cost of more than $1,500 because of the poor coverage. “After we managed to get this operational again, we were able to get some level of satisfactory signal inside our house,” Mr Hoban said. “All of our neighbours advised us that this lack of signal was the norm in Glass

House and that they simply had to stand outside to get mobile phone coverage.” Mr Hoban didn’t think it was good enough that people had to put up with poor coverage or pay a small fortune to get barely usable reception. He tried talking with Telstra about the poor signal strength and its plans for improving the mobile phone network locally, pointing out that he believed the major reason for the poor signal strength was the location of the only tower in the area. He was told that if he wasn’t happy with the service that he could always go to another provider or complain to the Telecommunications Ombudsman. He did approach the Ombudsman to request assistance in rectifying the poor coverage. “I approached Optus about changing to them and they told me that they couldn’t provide very good coverage because of the poor signal strength,” Mr Hoban said. “Going to the Telecommunications Ombudsman wasn’t helpful as they can only deal with an issue between Telstra and a client (me) and not on behalf of the broader community. “All the Ombudsman could do was to facilitate further communications with Telstra.”

Mr Hoban approached the federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace and his staff to raise his concerns. To date, Mr Hoban says that the response he has received has been completely underwhelming. “I approached Andrew Wallace in August last year and discussed this issue as well as the fact that the new tower off Old Gympie Road had not improved the coverage in the area,” Mr Hoban said. “I only received an auto-response ‘thank you’ email following our meeting and subsequent follow-ups with Mr Wallace’s staff have achieved little … but they keep referring to the NBN network and not addressing my issues to do with the mobile phone network.” A frustrated Mr Hoban would like to know why the existing mobile phone towers aren’t providing adequate service.

“I’d like to know why the tower down from the Jeﬀreys Road/Coulon Road intersection on the other side of Steve Irwin Way at Glass House can’t be improved. Surely that would provide better reception to the area, particularly given the increasing population in the area?” Mr Hoban believes that tower is mounted too low and is surrounded by tall vegetation that is blocking the signals. GC&M News asked Mr Wallace what had happened locally to address concerns such as Mr Hoban’s. Mr Wallace told us he had been working hard to bring better mobile telephone reception to the hinterland since his election in 2016. “During that time the federal government has funded the construction of four new mobile towers in our region – at Glass House Mountains, Beerwah, Peachester and Conondale – as well as providing funding for an emergency battery power supply on the mobile tower at Maleny-Kenilworth Road,” Mr Wallace said. “However, I am also very aware that for many in the hinterland their mobile reception is still not good enough.”

Official opening of GPAC Although the latest round of the Mobile Black Spot program is closed, Mr Wallace said that $80 million for another round was expected to open soon and could bring improved coverage to our region. “I would strongly urge anyone in the region who experiences consistently poor reception to contact my oﬀice directly and let me know about it,” Mr Wallace said. “I can pass that information on to the government and ensure that the Sunshine Coast hinterland is considered for even more mobile black spot towers as part of the coming round.” As for the existing tower at Glass House, Mr Wallace points back to Sunshine Coast Council. “The heights as well as the speciﬁc locations of these towers are subject to Sunshine Coast Council’s planning processes. I know the telcos work hard to maximise the coverage generated by the towers they construct within the planning limits imposed by the council and the community’s feedback,” Mr Wallace said. The federal government is currently undertaking a national review into regional telecommunications. Locals who are experiencing poor mobile reception can make a submission to the review by visiting www.rtirc.gov.au/consultation

GUESTS at the recent opening of the Glasshouse Christian College’s new Performing Arts Centre (GPAC) were impressed with the new facility that was ten years in the making. School principal Mike Curtis generously praised all those involved in the project and the hard work and dedication of many who made it a reality. The principal was joined by school board member Lauren Fishburn to oﬀicially declare the $9.5 million building open.

The state government contributed $2.5 million towards the project, with the Member for Caloundra, Jason Hunt, attending the event on behalf of the Minister for Education Grace Grace via a video link.

Funeral parlour approved in Maleny THE Planning and Environment Court has found in favour of landowners Michael and Caroline Arnett to establish a funeral parlour and function facility in Maleny. The court set aside a previous Sunshine Coast Council decision to refuse the development application for the funeral parlour at 57 Mountain View Road. The court ordered that the application be approved but stipulated that the development must adhere to 67 speciﬁc planning conditions. It appears the council abandoned its ﬁght to uphold the planning scheme and consented to the approval through a negotiated outcome. The original refusal was voted on at a full council meeting in July 2019 after council’s planning assessment department recommended approval be granted. The motion to refuse, led by Division 1 councillor Rick Baberowski, resulted in six votes to four to refuse the proposal on the grounds that it was inconsistent with the planning scheme and would cause “unreasonable impacts” to the rural character and amenity of the area. At the time, the proposal generated considerable local and community interest, with council receiving 147 properly made submissions opposing the application.

The development conditions included in the court approval vary considerably from the original conditions recommended by the council planning staff. The development is now allowed to host two funerals a day, whereas the conditions recommended by the council staff was for one per day. Some conditions have been strengthened, such as tightened noise abatement requirements, a 2m acoustic barrier, no entrance signage advertising a funeral parlour and extra conditions managing the property entrance and driveway. However, other conditions have been lessened or deleted all together, including a requirement for landscape rehabilitation, passive climatic design, renewable energy and fauna management. There is also no requirement to lodge a vegetation protection covenant on the land title for ecological conservation purposes. The landowners – Caroline and Michael Arnett – are relieved to finally have an outcome. “We are pleased to have finally received this approval that has minimal changes to our original proposal as a result of the extensive appeal process,” Caroline told GC&M News.

“It is unfortunate that the focus has had to be centred on the funeral component, even though it was never intended that we would operate as a traditional funeral parlour, without acknowledging the other important services we will oﬀer. “It was never our intention to have traditional funeral parlour components, such as cold storage. [We just wanted] a facility to hold the celebration of the deceased person’s life and to help the family and friends begin their healing process in a beautiful rural setting.” Caroline regrets that misunderstandings and misinformation turned some in the community against their proposal.

“The application was misunderstood by some and it’s almost impossible to correct the information that spreads like wildﬁre on the grapevine - especially in a tight-knit town like Maleny,” Caroline said. “Now, for us, it is onto the really exciting part of providing a beautiful and sympathetic integrated life celebration facility in the Maleny hinterland, which will include a funeral service component is one of the services we will oﬀer,” she said. “In addition to funerals, our services will cater for all types of celebrations for the important aspects of life, including weddings, birthday celebrations, business and holistic seminars, and other functions.”

A SPECULATIVE telecommunications tower developer has revealed plans to build a mobile phone tower at Glass House Mountains. A material change of use development application for a phone tower on Nursery Road, oﬀ Steve Irwin Way, has been submitted to Sunshine Coast Council by SAQ Consulting Pty Ltd on behalf of Stilmark Holdings. The New South Wales-based company specialises in investing in, developing and constructing telecommunications tower infrastructure. Stilmark owns and maintains the facility as a neutral host, leasing the tower space to mobile phone companies such as Telstra and Optus. According to the planning documents, if the development application is approved no construction will begin until Stilmark has signed a mobile phone company to lease the tower. The Nursery Road proposal is for a 35m monopole tower to be constructed on a 100m2 leased area on the farmlands at 27 Nursery Road. As the land is located within the rural zoning, the application is deemed as ‘impact assessable’, meaning locals will have the opportunity to make submissions for or against the proposal.

However, according to a TMR spokesperson, there were no ﬁrm plans to solve the railway crossing dilemma just yet. “The Australian and Queensland governments have committed $550.8 million towards an initial stage of B2N,” the spokesperson said. “Replacing the Caloundra Street level crossing in Landsborough with a grade-separated solution is included in the future stages, which remain unfunded.” This ﬁrst funded stage includes three new bridges, expansion of three park ‘n’ ride facilities and the duplication of the rail track between Beerburrum and Beerwah. It includes the new 300 space Landsborough park ‘n’ ride on the eastern side of the railway, where barrier fencing can be seen. “Future stages will duplicate the North Coast rail line between Beerwah and Landsborough, extend passing loops and upgrade stations between Landsborough and Nambour,” the spokesperson said.

IS the Landsborough rail overpass happening soon? That’s the question locals were asking GC&M News last week. With the announcement that Hall Contracting had been awarded the early works construction contract for the $550.8 million Beerburrum to Nambour rail upgrade (B2N), with work planned to start in early 2022, questions have been asked about whether the rail crossing at Landsborough is part of this stage. The Department of Transport and Main Roads has been planning the closure of the rail crossing through the centre of town for many years, with the department publishing its preferred road ﬂy-over option. Houses have already been purchased where the footprint of the overpass is planned and community consultation has occurred. A local community group formed in 2019 – the Landsborough Overpass Reference Committee – to advocate on behalf of the community for the best result possible from the overpass project. The committee organised a community forum in February 2020 to go through ten options, including the TMR preferred overpass solution.

Local produce on the menu for Glasshouse Country Chamber By Sonia Isaacs Clark THE Glasshouse Country Chamber of Commerce will take a wonderfully innovative approach to this year’s AGM dinner by turning the spotlight firmly back onto local Glasshouse Country producers. Promising a dinner with a difference on Wednesday, September 8, the event, to be held at the stunning rainforest wedding and event venue Hideaway Weddings Beerwah, will feature a carefully curated menu showcasing some of the very best produce Glasshouse Country has to offer. With a bountiful selection of locally produced goods to choose from, the events team at Hideaway Weddings have created an inspired menu that cleverly champions the local and seasonal produce from some of our most outstanding local pro producers.

Vanilla vine produce

Dishes have been created to include custard apples from Yanalla Farms, pineapples from Tropical Pines, native bee honey from Hive Haven and poultry and beef from Barry Family Butchers. Members and non-members of the chamber are invited to attend and delight their tastebuds with the exceptional menu, which also incorporates locally grown strawberries, macadamias, vanilla, ginger, avocado, coﬀee and camel milk, while connecting and celebrating with local businesses. Glasshouse Country Chamber of Commerce president Jenny Broderick said the chamber had focused on developing their partnerships and relationships with local agribusinesses this year. “We are excited that the AGM dinner presents a wonderful opportunity to showcase the incredible quality produce of our local region. We are also fortuna fortunate to have been able to wo work with the talented team fr from Hideaway Weddings B Beerwah to bring together a creative and quirky menu for the night,” JJenny said. G Glasshouse Chamber membe member Ann Ross from Hive Custard apples from Haven said she was excited that Yanalla Farms

both Hive Haven Australian native honey and their European honey would er be featured alongside a range of other amazing produce. g “The Glasshouse region has a strong farming past and as a relatively new business member of the chamber it has been a huge bonus to be able to tap into their existing networks,” Ann said. “Through the chamber we have access to two fantastic local-co-ops and have also been part of the regularr Chamber of Commerce agritourism industry meetups. With such a huge shift towards farm-gate agritourism, paddock-to-plate and value-add business integration, the future is deﬁnitely bright for our local producers.” The event menu’s delicious oﬀerings include custard apple bruschetta, vanilla braised beef cheeks, custard apple cheesecake with macadamia and ginger base, and camel’s milk panna cotta with native bee honey. Amanda Warren and the team at Hideaway Weddings had done a great deal of work behind the scenes to come up with the “once in a lifetime” menu guaranteed to impress. “It was an exciting challenge to showcase our local produce in

Ann Ross From Hive Haven creating the menu, but we just did a lot of research to ﬁnd dishes that used one or more of the local ingredients and also adapted some of our regular dishes to incorporate some of the local ingredients,” Amanda said.

Queensland ditches single-use plastic HAVE you noticed a change in packaging at your favourite local café or takeaway restaurant lately? There’s certainly a good reason for it. From Wednesday, September 1, the Queensland Government will ban the use and supply of single-use plastic items across the state in a bid to tackle plastic pollution. The ban includes plastic straws, plates, bowls, cutlery and expanded polystyrene takeaway food containers and cups. The changes were met with an outpouring of support when they were announced in March this year. Landsborough local and spokesperson for War on Waste Glasshouse Country Liz Harris said the group was delighted with the ban. “There are so many alternative materials such as bamboo, wheat straw, sugarcane and cardboard available,” Liz said. “We are particularly pleased with the ban on polystyrene takeaway containers, which is a plastic that is particularly harmful when it escapes into our waterways and breaks down quickly into microplastics. “This simple change will mean that there will be millions fewer pieces of plastic sitting around in landﬁlls for hundreds of years after only being used for a few minutes.” Half of all plastics produced around the world are designed to be used only once, making it a huge contributor to the 300 million tonnes of plastic waste created each year. Heather Andrews at The Orangery Maleny didn’t wait until the ban was introduced to use more environmentally sustainable alternatives for

FACES and PLACES

packaging in her café. She has been proudly using them since she opened the café. And while she does have paper straws available, she actively encourages her customers to choose not to use them wherever she can as this means an even better outcome for our environment. Single-use alternatives can still be used by businesses but must be made of biodegradable components that meet Australian standards. Penalties may apply for businesses and not-for-proﬁt organisations that supply banned single-use items. Clinics or facilities that provide care to people with a disability or health needs, including hospitals, dental clinics, medical clinics, pharmacies, aged care facilities and medical suppliers, will be exempt from the ban.

Open Day at Peachester Rural Fire station

An open day of recently completed Peachester Rural Fire Station was planned for the community to inspect the facilities and equipment back in early August, and because of the COVID lockdown it didn’t get to happen. A rescheduled event is now planned for Saturday, September 11 from 10am to 3pm at the station located at 1136 Peachester Road, Peachester. The station has been designed for the future with capacity for three medium attack fire trucks, office, training room and rapid water refill capability making it a strategic asset for firefighting in the area. Community members are encouraged to bring the family to the open day. There will be a sausage sizzle and drinks available. Please note Queensland Health COVID safe practices will apply.

Travel restrictions tougher for some WITH constant postponements and ongoing travel restrictions in place since the COVID-19 pandemic hit our shores early last year, it certainly hasn’t been the best time to own a business that relies heavily on international travel. For Sunshine Coast-based safari consultants The Inﬁnite Horizon, the ever-changing travel restrictions and protocols have made planning international trips a nightmare. Despite that, owners Teena and Steve Chumbley have managed to organise six trips to various African destinations for American clients this month. Teena said all trips would have to be heavily monitored, with daily check-ins and guide updates to ensure COVID safety protocols were met.

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

“The diﬀerence is we are now not only monitoring our clients as they move through their safaris, but also constantly negotiating the entry requirements for COVID testing at each port of entry for the ten countries we operate in,” Teena said. Although the drop in business has certainly impacted Teena and Steve, the African countries they operate in were hit much harder. One of The Inﬁnite Horizon’s longtime service providers in Tanzania told them that that they had held themselves really strong through this nightmare of COVID-19. “I basically focused on looking after our team; albeit they are on half salaries now,” the service provider said.

“The people I work with are everything to me and my husband, and they have worked so hard and passed through some really hard times in a country where there is no social welfare system for them individually or for us as a business. “Lots of fundraising exercises via my family and friends have helped to buy goat meat, rice, sugar and other staples to hand out to keep the guys in Arusha going with their health and welfare. “I love the life coming back slowly into tourism in Tanzania,” the service provider said.

“I am conﬁdent that international travel will eventually recover - as we all will.” For Teena and Steve, the pandemic has given them a chance to reassess their business plan and lay a foundation in case travel restrictions remain in place for an extended period. “I have retrained as a swim teacher of babies and toddlers, Steve is volunteering at Australia Zoo and the family has joined the hard-working wildlife organisation WILVOS, so we help out when we can,” Teena said. The pair are also exploring adventure experiences in Australia to help bring their international clientele to the country. In the meantime, Teena said it was all about staying positive. “We do acknowledge as a family we are very fortunate to be able to ride the lockdown wave with some buoyancy. We fully understand the struggle many families have endured during this time,” she said. “In Swahili polepole (said polipoli) is often heard from a guide to clients climbing Mt Kilimanjaro - in this case it means go slowly. “One slow step in front of the other and you will make it to the summit!” 9

Coles takes council to court over Beerwah refusal IT looks like Coles isn’t giving up on Beerwah without a fight. Its property development arm – Coles Group Property Developments Limited – has started legal action against the Sunshine Coast Council after the council rejected its development plans for the corner of Steve Irwin Way and Roys Road in Beerwah. The legal firm HopgoodGanim Lawyers filed three separate appeals on August 25 on behalf of Coles, asking the Planning and Environment Court to overturn the council’s refusal of all three applications. The three controversial development applications – for a petrol station/ McDonald’s, Coles supermarket and a redraw of the internal property boundaries – were unanimously voted down by the council at its July 22 ordinary meeting. Multiple reasons were given for the refusals, mostly relating to the developments being too far outside the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme. Local Division 1 councillor Rick Baberowski had stated in GC&M News, August 3 edition, that the new centre was not warranted in that location. “This new centre would have had poor access to the CBD at an already busy

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

intersection, poor public transport and pedestrian access, would have required giving up land that is zoned for industrial uses, losing the broad range of future jobs that go with those kinds of businesses,” Cr Baberowski said at the time. “Even worse in my view, the application to vary the planning scheme would have further fragmented the existing centre in Beerwah. I just didn’t see the sense in repeating that history by introducing yet another separate centre.” In its notice of appeal to the court, Coles argued that the council made the wrong decision in refusing its developments and that its proposals were in the best interest of the community. “The proposed development will enhance the cultural, physical and social wellbeing of the residents of Beerwah, and the wider locality, through enhancement of business, industrial, community, sport and recreation and other activities,” the Coles notice said. As the arguments from both sides are likely to be complex, it appears that the uncertainty surrounding the development will be continuing for a while yet. GC&M News will bring you more details as they come to hand.

Young artists impress JUAN Perez, the owner of Maleny Accident Repair Centre, created a unique colouring-in competition a few months ago for local children aged 2-12 years to put their creative talents to the test. He received hundreds of wonderful entries that were initially narrowed down to a selection of finalists for well-known local artist Vanessa Perske to take on the challenging task of being the final judge. Vanessa said she was particularly drawn to the bright colours of the winning entry by year 4 student Piper, who used both bright colours and great contrast between the colours. The top three prizes were all taken out by Maleny State School students, with Piper receiving a first prize of $200 as

well as having her design painted on a Mazda SP23. The entries of year 2 students Cohen and Olivia were also recognised in the competition. Cohen was awarded second place and received $100 with Oliva third, receiving $50. Juan said that the winning entry was one of the harder entries to try to paint onto the car but he and his team were looking forward to the challenge. Work on painting the car will happen in the next couple of weeks and Juan will take it to the school to show at assembly when it is completed. It will be used as a courtesy car for the business so will regularly be seen driving around the local area. 1

with Sonia Isaacs Clark

In Conversation with Mary-Lou Stephens FORMER ABC radio presenter Mary-Lou Stephens has just released her debut novel ‘The Last of the Apple Blossom’, set in Tasmania in the late 1960s. GC&M News spoke with Mary-Lou to ﬁnd out more about her book and why she became a writer. Q: Many readers will be familiar with your work as a former ABC presenter. Tell us about your journey to becoming a full-time writer? I was an actor and a singer/songwriter for many years, living and touring all over Australia. It was a life of creativity and adventure but I must say it was wonderful to earn regular money once I began working in radio. While I was with the ABC, I wrote a weekly newspaper column that piqued my interest in writing longer pieces. I began taking writing courses and workshops. I took six months leave without pay to see if I could write a novel. The answer was yes but it never found a publisher. I wrote my memoir, which was published by a major publisher, and then another two novels that will never see the light of day. I think of those novels as my apprenticeship. I couldn’t have written ‘The Last of the Apple Blossom’ without the knowledge and skill I acquired while writing them. Q: What inspired you to write this novel? I had interviewed best-selling author Monica McInerney for a live event in the morning broadcast and we spoke about how grief informed her writing. That very afternoon the idea for a novel that starts on

the day of the 1967 bushﬁres in Tasmania and traces the demise of the apple industry came out of the blue. It was a total surprise and unlike anything I’d ever written before. I grew up in Tasmania and remember the 1967 ﬁres, but I knew nothing about growing apples. I do now! Monica later became my mentor and worked with me from drafts six through to ten. She was a tough taskmistress but also wise and generous.

Q: How has Vipassana meditation assisted your writing process? I always say a ten-day silent meditation retreat is the best cure for writer’s block – your mind will come up with all kinds of ideas and solutions. So much information bubbles up from the subconscious when you’re meditating 12 hours a day. I had trouble ﬁnding the happy ending for ‘The Last of the Apple Blossom’ and I really needed one after putting my characters through so much. I went to yet another meditation retreat and the answer came to me as I’d hoped it would. Q: How would you describe your book? ‘The Last of the Apple Blossom’ is set during the late ’60s and early ’70s in the orchards of the beautiful Huon Valley. It’s a love song to a way of life long gone, erased by natural and economic woes. Catherine and Annie are friends who live on neighbouring orchards. Through natural disasters, personal calamities and the devastating collapse of the apple industry, Catherine, Annie and those they love battle to save their livelihoods, their families, and their secrets. Rosetta Books is hosting an In Conversation event with local authors Mary-Lou Stephens and Mary Garden to discuss their new releases on Saturday, September 11, at 2pm at RSL Maleny. Bookings are essential and tickets are $5 through Try Booking www.trybooking.com/events/ landing?eid=794139 or from Rosetta Books Maleny.

Orchid Spectacular on again

Peachester Garden Club

THE 2021 Spring Orchid Spectacular, hosted by the Glasshouse Country Orchid Society (GCOS), is set to be “bloomin’ marvellous” and, best of all, it’s happening at the Beerwah Community Hall (next to the Beerwah Library) on Friday-Saturday, September 24-25. The event will feature prize-winning show orchids from across the Sunshine Coast, locally grown orchids from society members, plant sales, a raffle and the chance to chat with expert orchid growers. GCOS member Sue Jones said all society members were looking forward to showcasing some of the best orchids of the region. Big display stands and tables featuring prize orchids are sure to impress both green thumbs and casual visitors in what promises to be a visually spectacular event. Plant sales are always a popular aspect of the weekend show, with many plants and accessories available for purchase as well as GCOS members and orchid experts on hand to offer advice and tips. “The society was also very pleased to recently announce its new patrons, Italo and Noela Frizzo, who are both well-regarded long-term residents and community leaders in the local area, as well as lifetime members of GCOS,” Sue said. “When Noela first joined in 1978, we had about nine members. Italo was made a member because he was called on to take plants to shows, make stands and other props. “They are both now life members of GCOS, still show their orchids and have become mentors for new members of the society, which now has over 90 members. They will be presenting the prizes at the show as their first official duty as our new patrons,” Sue said.

THANKS to Clara Graham for inviting us to her garden. It was lovely to share it with birds calling in the surrounding trees. The garden is large with a good range of plants and some lovely trees, plenty of potted plants and lovely to see the chooks down the back. Members were invited to take cuttings. Suella Lanceley showed off her well-used garden fork. Most agreed that it was much easier to dig with than a spade. Clara’s favourite tool is a Dutch hoe, which is great for weeding. Pam Innes showed off her special pot for growing African violets. It consists of two pots – an inner porous pot that fits into an outer pot filled with water – and she has been growing prizewinning African violets since. It was good to see more entries for a good display for the competition bench. Correct results for the competition bench for July included a tie for first place between Pam and Suella on 20 points and second to Judy Banks on 11 points. Visitors and new members are welcome e to join us in another garden on Thursday, September 16 at 9.30am. Please bring a chair, mug and small plate to share for morning tea.

Community partnership funding program Glasshouse Country VIEW Club EVERY year Sunshine Coast Council provides considerable funding to community groups and organisations through its community partnership funding program. The latest round of funding was approved at last week’s ordinary meeting of council, locking in financial assistance for the next three years. The funding is open to not-for-profit community organisations providing facilities or services that support the delivery of council’s priorities and demonstrate broad community benefit. Council approved more than $990,000 in funding to 138 organisations across the Sunshine Coast. Council’s community portfolio councillor David Law said the funding strengthened the council’s relationships with many invaluable volunteer organisations. “By contributing to operational costs such as rent, communications and administration, the program gives community groups funding certainty,” Cr Law said. “That means they can invest their time and energy into providing vital services to their members and the broader community.” Congratulations to the successful local groups: • Maleny Show Society • Beerburrum School of Arts Association • Conondale Public Hall Committee • Glass House Mountains Community Hall

The perfect family-day-out at Sunshine Coast museums this September school holidays.

THE Lind Theatre in Nambour will perform ‘Radiance: The Passion of Marie Curie’ in September. Curie’s discoveries of the chemical elements radium and polonium is reasonably well known, but this stage play, written by US actor and playwright Alan Alda, portrays the intellectual, determined and passionate woman behind the history. In the early 20th century women were not recognised as scientists or considered for awards such as the Nobel Prize. As a joint recipient of the Nobel Prize in 1903 for her work on radiation, Curie was a shake-up for the scientific world. The play is set from 1898 to 1911, the time between winning two Nobel Prize awards, when Curie faced and overcame discrimination, ethnic bigotry, family tragedy and sexual scandal. Alda found himself inspired by her courage, not only in her scientific discoveries in abject conditions, but in overcoming prejudice from both the scientific community and the public. Marie Curie was not only the first woman to win a Nobel prize, she was also the first person and only woman in history to win two Nobel prizes in separate categories, physics and chemistry. Actor Susie Bushnell, who is delighted to be portraying Marie Curie, said Curie

was an inspirational person, forging her way into history through her brilliant work in physics and chemistry. “Emotionally she is a wonderful challenge to play and it is an honour to bring such a strong character to the stage,” Susie said. Radiance is directed by Kathryn Barnes and opens at The Lind Theatre in Nambour on Friday, September 10, with evening and afternoon performances. Regulars know The Lind is also a good social venue, with the bar open before the show and at interval. Tickets are adults $25, concession $23 and group booking and members $20. For bookings go to www.lindlane.com.au or phone 1300 732 764.

Abstract art exhibition at Vianta MALENY abstract artist Gayle Pope will be exhibiting her work at Vianta Arts during September and October. Gayle is self-taught and her abstract work is inspired by the thick, buttery colours and expressive strokes off impressionists. Embarking on her painting journey later in life, she never forgets the fateful day at the Queensland Art Gallery that inspired her future artistic career. “Once I picked up a palette knife and created my own style of expression, a creative world in visual representation of emotion opened up,” Gayle said. “I love working with the combination of colour and modelling paste tto give

texture and vibrancy in my textur pai paintings. “Drawing inspiration from tthe ups and downs of life, I mix modelling paste with my paints to give a thick layer of b bold colour to reﬂect mood. “I apply the colours with ap palette knife to create move movement and to inject energy into my work,” she said. Gayle’s art will be on show from Sunday, August 29 to Sunday, October 31 at Vianta Arts in Simpson Street, Beerwah. The opening night of the exhibition will be on Friday, September 3 from 6.30pm. COVID restrictions permitting, everyone is welcome to attend. You can see more of Gayle’s work on her website ite www.gaylepope.com

YOU Transport to wave park

I HAVE a question for Cr Rick Baberowski in relation to the world-class wave park earmarked for Moby Vic’s at Glass House Mountains and the $900,000 allocation towards planning and detailed design of the Johnston Road upgrade to two lanes. Will the upgrade of Johnston Road continue through to Moffatt Road to the intersection of Steve Irwin Way? Tourists to the proposed wave park would presumably travel by private vehicle. If, however, they travel by train I’d expect the park would have a courtesy bus. If so, is the bus to travel on Bowen Road and, if so, is that to be every train or rail bus to Glass House train station? As the highway is always congested on the weekend, some traffic travelling north would take the Steve Irwin Way exit and then turn into Bowen Road, onto Crittenden Road and then down Johnston Road to the theme park, and the same would happen with traffic travelling south. This is why I would like to know if the upgrade of Johnston Road will continue through to Moffatt Road to the intersection of the Steve Irwin Way. Christina Clarke Glass House Mountains

Wildlife rescue

NO one likes waiting for medical care but it’s not just humans that have to wait - sometimes rescued wildlife do too. What we don’t know is how long they’re waiting and how that may impact their survival. I’m a University of Queensland student conducting research to change that.

Below is a link to a survey that I developed to learn what people in Australia think about wildlife rescue. Anyone 18 years or older and in Australia can participate. It only takes a few minutes and is completely anonymous. The survey isn’t just for wildlife rescuers, it’s for everyone. Here is the link: https://uniofqueensland. syd1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/ SV_4HnGwY6BbIVB9nE If anyone has any questions about the survey or my research, my contact details are available on the ﬁrst page (the information page) of the survey. I’m always keen to talk about my work! I’m also happy to come to talk with community groups and organisations. Please take a few minutes to take and share the survey. The data could make a real-world diﬀerence to Australian wildlife. Thank you! Gloeta Massie Lockyer Valley

said

Initial results of the survey indicate that it’s not uncommon for people to feel unsafe when getting around Maleny without a car. There also appears to be a great need for existing pathways to be connected. We have been advised by the council that if you have safety concerns it is important to contact the council’s Customer Service Centre by phone and report the incident on 5475 7272 or 1300 007 272. Reporting safety issues will draw attention to the condition of Maleny pathways. The Pathways Group will keep residents updated. Jan Flynn Maleny Pathways Group

Thank you, Maleny!

MALENY Pathways Group wants to thank the wonderful people of Maleny who completed the survey called ‘Getting around Maleny without a car’. We received over 2,000 detailed comments from over 400 people. A report analysing survey responses will be presented to the community as well as to Sunshine Coast Council and the Department of Transport and Main Roads.

A run he’ll never forget

By Jack Waters

A 65-year-old pair of Dunlop Volleys wouldn’t be the ﬁrst thing you’d expect to see on someone’s bedside table but for 90 year old Maleny local Allan Owen they’re one of his most treasured possessions. Allan was a torchbearer for the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games, running the one-mile (1.6km) leg through the heart of Eumundi to the cheers and elation of

the local crowd. At that time Allan was the leading cricketer in Eumundi and was a notable fast bowler for 25 years for the Sunshine Coast Cricket Association. His career highlight of taking 9/24 in a ﬁrst-class country match at Albert Park Oval in Gympie was testament to his selection in the torch-bearing team, which saw him run with 17 of the

A run he’ll never forget

region’s best athletes in, you guessed it, his beloved pair of Dunlop Volleys. These are the fond memories Allan holds close as he cherishes every moment with his family at the Maleny Soldiers Memorial Hospital after a recent health setback. A dairy farmer for 75 years, Allan spent pretty much his entire life doing what he loves – milking cows and relishing the chilly mornings on properties at Eumundi, Peachester and Maleny. He was involved in showing cattle at the Royal Brisbane Show, taking out ﬁrst place one year with his Supreme Champion Illawarra. Closer to home, he’s been an integral part of the Maleny Show Society and remains a life member of both the Witta Recreational Club and the Royal National Agricultural and Industrial eensland Association of Queensland (RNA). For all these accolades, however, it’s clear his surprisingly wellmaintained pair of Dunlop Volleys hold a special place in his heart. So much so that Allan was outraged when he heard Evonne Goolagong Cawleyy claim to have the oldest pair of Dunlop Volleys in the nation.

focus

Luckily for him he had every right to be, with his pair proven to be older than Evonne’s in a competition run by The Courier Mail to try to ﬁnd who exactly owned the oldest pair of Dunlop Volleys. In a cruel twist, however, Allan came in second to another entrant. “Somebody had a pair of sandshoes that looked like the dog had gotten hold of them,” Allan said. Despite this, Allan’s Volleys sit proudly atop his Olympic shrine beside his hospital bed, featuring a photo of him running through Eumundi, a part of the torch he carried, his Olympic bronze medal received for participating in the run and photos of the faces that made up the rest of the team. And funnily enough, Allan is actually sharing his ward with a lady that used p to work for Dunlop.

Stress-free downsizing or relocation service Supporting carers SUNSHINE Coast business Colomba oﬀers a comprehensive clearing and relocation service speciﬁcally tailored to help seniors and their families. Colomba takes the hassle out of downsizing or relocating with a great range of services that can be individually packaged to ensure a smooth and stressfree transition to retirement living or relocation into an aged care facility. For families, Colomba can assist those who are time poor or who do not live near their loved ones by providing all the necessary arrangements to move to a new home or living facility – from packing up and cleaning to overseeing the sale of household items, charity donations and discarded items, to unpacking at the new home and change of address requirements. Founder and director Jeanne Motteram said she and her team fully understood the emotional and physical hurdles for people and their families when they

needed to transition from their home. She said the team were friendly professionals who could assist and guide the process every step of the way with some or all of the logistics taken care of depending on the needs of the client. “Our focus is on working with the family, preserving their treasured items and, wherever possible, looking to provide sustainable or environmentally mindful solutions for our clients while ensuring the whole process is easy and hassle free,” Jeanne said. Colomba oﬀers a free in-home consultation and can arrange face-to-face, telephone or video calls for clients to monitor and collaborate with the process. Services include sorting, decluttering and packing to preserving family treasures and cleaning the former home to be ready for sale, settlement or property management. The Colomba team can set out all logistical plan requirements to ensure a smooth transition including assisting in liaising with aged care or retirement home facilities or a new landlord, assistance with real estate agents, all general repairs, and home and garden maintenance including rubbish removal. The initial consultation is free. For more details contact Jeanne today on 0402 126 157 or visit www.colomba.com.au

ONE third of primary carers in Australia provide 40 hours or more of unpaid care per week and often put their own needs last. However, it is vital for their own health and wellbeing that they take time to relax and recharge, which is where flexi respite can help. Glasshouse Country Care offers flexible respite care services that can include companionship in the client’s home or spending time out and about in the community. These services give both the carer and the person being cared for a break to do things independently and can be fully customised to suit your needs and circumstances. Glasshouse Country Care general manager Clare Mullins said there were

many reasons that carers did not take time out. “Sometimes the carer thinks it is their responsibility to manage it themselves,” Ms Mullins said. “Sometimes the person being cared for is anxious about having anyone else look after them, or the carer just isn’t aware of what help is available. “Our aim is to allow carers to have some time to themselves, to catch up with friends or attend appointments, knowing that their loved one is safe and well looked after by our well trained, caring staﬀ. “Taking a break for a few hours a week can help reduce stress and isolation and restore the balance in carers’ lives.” For more information about how ﬂexi respite can help you, call Glasshouse Country Care on 5494 6948.

Fixed Fee Intitial Consultation Available Beerwah Law, formerly King Tobin Lawyers, are your local solicitors and have been established in Beerwah for over 35 years. Tracy King and her team are here to advise and assist you in matters relevant to Seniors including estate planning, estate administration, Wills, Enduring Powers of Attorney, Advance Health Directives, entry and exit into retirement villages. We are a general practice and therefore we cover most areas of the law for you. We are ‘Your Lawyers For Life’. Wills To ensure that the administration for your estate is as easy as possible for your loved ones we strongly recommend that a qualified solicitor draft your Will for you. Unfortunately, the courts are full of matters which are being litigated purely because a ‘home-made Will’ cannot be interpreted sensibly, has various interpretations or has not adequately considered all matters required. A well drafted Will also takes into account matters other than assets within the estate, such as superannuation and life insurance, to ensure that all of your assets are dealt with consistently.

Importantly, a general discussion with us about the nature and extent of your assets and liabilities and our advice to you in that regard, can save your executors a great deal of time, money and stress. Enduring Power of Attorney It is our opinion that everyone must have an Enduring Power of Attorney. In some respects, it is more important than a Will, as without one you may be left in a state of legal limbo with no-one able to legally look after your financial affairs or make health decisions for you. This, unfortunately, regularly happens to people who do not have an Enduring Power of Attorney and who find themselves in hospital but are assessed as not being able to return home. If they are incapable of making an Enduring Power of Attorney then an Application needs to be made through QCAT to the Guardianship and Administration Tribunal for an Order. Such an Order can take a considerable period of time and involves a great deal of work. It also can lead to ill-will and disputes between your loved ones.

Estate Administration This is a core part of our practice. We make this process as easy as is possible in your circumstances and tailor our service to your needs. Executors of estates are subject to very onerous obligations. We ensure that these obligations are fulfilled and that there are therefore no adverse implications for you. Please contact us to discuss your legal needs and make an appointment for us to assist you.

hinterland HERITAGE

with Sonia Isaacs Clark

It’s not just about the trees THE Landsborough Museum will soon launch a new exhibition – Tree Change Sunshine Coast – about changes in land use on the Sunshine Coast and changing opinions over time. The idea for the exhibition was first suggested in early 2020 by a young volunteer when fires had been ravaging the country for months and after our area experienced the threat bushfires pose to life and property first-hand at Peregian Beach. After much discussion and consultation, the initial idea of living with bushfires evolved into how we have used the land over time and the change makers, ie, the people whose actions helped to preserve and raise awareness of our unique natural heritage. Tree Change explores several themes

Installing the exhibition

Reed Street, Glass House Mountains

including Indigenous land use, timber heritage, forestry, conservationists, protests, green lifestyles, the arts and crafts, and current land use planning. The new exhibition is currently being installed and you will soon be able to come and see how the Sunshine Coast lifestyle we enjoy today was inﬂuenced by the story of the trees. Museum volunteers have been working on the exhibition for 12 months with the curatorial assistance of John Waldron from BlueSky View, a local exhibition/ museum and gallery consultancy. The Landsborough Museum is open Wednesday-Friday and Sunday from 9am-2.30pm. Group bookings can be made online at www.landsboroughmuseum.org.au or call 5494 1755.

REED Street, which runs from the Glass House Mountains railway station through to Steve Irwin Way, is named after the Reed family, who were early settlers in the area. While William Reed’s name first appears in the electoral rolls for Glass House Mountains in 1906 as a timber splitter, it is likely he arrived in the area around 1900. Born William Arthur Reed in Scotland in 1873, he married Elizabeth Parry Roberts in 1898. The couple had five children. Sadly, William and Elizabeth’s first son, William Arthur born in 1899, died at the age of eight after being accidently shot by a pea rifle carried by his 11-year-old friend. Elizabeth and William planted a camphor laurel in the corner of their

yard in 1907 as a memorial. y It still stands today outside the t Glasshouse Mountains Tavern. T William Arthur senior died in i 1940 having lived in Glass House Mountains for almost H 40 4 years. Elizabeth Parry Reed (nee Roberts) died July R 21, 2 1962.

ELECTED New member of Team Glass House

I’D like to welcome Flynn Atlas Wright to our team in Glass House. If you have contacted my oﬀice in the past couple of years, you would have met the amazing Lauren. Well, Lauren left on Friday, August 13 hoping to rest up for three weeks before her ﬁrst baby was due. Young Flynn had other ideas, arriving promptly on Monday, August 16. Mum and bub (and Dad) are doing stupendously.

Out and about in the electorate … again!

It’s wonderful to see social gatherings happening again in Glass House, albeit with COVID requirements, of course. I dropped in on the Blackall Range Horseless Carriage Club last week. They secured gambling community funds to create an all-weather space for future gatherings. It looks amazing. Similarly, the Peachester Community Hall is getting a facelift with the hall interiors being repainted. I joined Maleny’s “oneand-only” Jared Ashcroft as he raised funds for Beyond Blue with Drag Queen Bingo – loads of fun! And I was also privileged to attend the oﬀicial opening of the new 600+ seat performing arts complex at the Glasshouse Christian College – there’s nothing else like it in the hinterland.

Dogs in Politics Day 2021

We will be celebrating Dogs in Politics Day on September 23 by including the canine members of our oﬀice – Gracie, Louis and Elly – at a mobile oﬀice at 8am on the corner of Flaxton Mill Road, Flaxton. Pets make the world a better place, so come and join us with your pet.

DURING the August ordinary meeting of council, we were shown a special presentation about outcomes from the 2018-2021 Community Partnership Funding Program. What wonderful community partnerships we’re lucky to have! I’d like to acknowledge and share my gratitude to all the community groups and volunteers who donate their time, expertise and passion to delivering services to our community and environment. Over the next three years, council is proud to provide partnership funding to 138 community organisations and 19 environmental groups through the Community Partnership Funding Program and Environment Levy Partnership Funding Program respectively. These partnerships provide certainty for the groups, enabling them to engage in longer-term planning and capacity building. Within Division 1, I’m pleased that such a great variety of community and environmental groups will receive funding from your council, including Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue, Beerburrum School of Arts, Nungeena Aboriginal Corporation for Women’s Business, Queensland Air Museum, Glass House Mountains Community group along with ten others. To see the full list, please visit council’s website.

HEALTH

COVID-19 vaccinations

WHEN I wrote my previous column at the end of July we had administered 11 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine in Australia during all of 2021. Today, just four weeks later, we have administered more than 18 million. The roll out is now moving fast and I want to thank all hinterland locals who have already rolled up their sleeve to get the jab.

Homelessness

I know many of us in the hinterland are very concerned about the issue of homelessness and we have many great charities based in our region working on it, including Maleny Neighbourhood Centre, IFYS in Beerwah and Glass Housing 55. In 2019, I brought the Assistant Minister for Community Housing and Homelessness to Landsborough to hear from those groups and this month we have once again had an important influence on national policy in this area. As chair of the Parliamentary Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs, I have led an inquiry into homelessness over the past 15 months and I have just presented the final report to Parliament. More than 100,000 people are homeless in Australia, with many at increased risk of violence, drug and alcohol use,

with Andrew Wallace Federal Member for Fisher

mental and physical health problems, and severe poverty. The committee found that, unfortunately, there is currently not enough coordination between tiers of government. We need a ten-year national strategy on homelessness to get us all working together to create better policies and more accountability. We need to focus more on prevention and early intervention as these are among the most effective ways to reduce homelessness. This includes putting “housing first” at the heart of government responses to homelessness. This means making housing available to people experiencing homelessness first and getting them the other services they need in that stable environment. Finally, we found that we need new approaches to deal with the significant shortage of social and affordable housing in Australia. If you are interested in this issue in our region, please contact my office for a copy of the full report.

WELLBEING

Heart Foundation walking group – Mooloolah Contributed by Helen Weil WALKING is still on each Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings but returning to start at 6.30am from Monday, September 6, for the summer months. We meet at Martin Rungert Park Mooloolah, right in the centre of town, and walk a variety of routes around the local area. Walking is for about an hour and it is a great way to start the day and to make new friends. This is a National Heart Foundation group activity with certiﬁcates and awards for number of walks and attaining certain goals. Most of all it is about staying active and healthy in a friendly social environment.

You don’t have to walk every day or for the whole hour – just do as much as you feel you can. We have our speedy walkers who cover a greater distance and we have our more relaxed walkers who maintain an average steady pace but we all walk and that is what is important. Please consider coming along to enjoy the social aspect of belonging to a friendly group as well as the health beneﬁts of regular exercise. New walkers always welcome. Do hope to see you soon.

Breast cancer won’t wait for COVID-19 to end

LOCAL women are being urged to ensure their health checks are up to date. BreastScreen Queensland Sunshine Coast medical director Dr Alison Roper said if women were putting off having their regular breast screen this could lead to delayed diagnosis. “Finding breast cancer early means that women have more options for treatment. Early detection can literally save lives,” Dr Roper said. Women aged 50-74 are strongly encouraged to have a breast screen every two years as the best way to find breast cancer early. “Studies show that women in the 50-74-year age group benefit the most from regular breast screening but the free service is also available to women aged 40-49 and over 75 years,” Dr Roper said. BreastScreen Queensland Sunshine Coast is operating as normal with COVID Safe plans in place at each of its clinics. The BreastScreen Queensland program is provided free to women aged 40 years and over and no doctor’s referral is needed. To make an appointment call 13 20 50 or visit www.breastscreen.qld.gov.au

Jobs for the yard in September

• GROW any herbs now except basil (it’s too early) and coriander (it’s too late). • Grevilleas will be flowering away. Cutting flowers for inside the house will promote new growth and improve plant health. • Pruning of edible fig trees can be carried out. Be very vigorous – onethird can be cut off. Figs are only produced on the new wood of the new season’s growth. Give them a good feed of general fertiliser. • It could be a few months before we get good soaking rains and the drying September winds will suck the moisture from bare soil, so mulch your gardens to keep in the available water.

• Spray your ﬂowering mangoes with Mancozeb or a copper-based fungicide to prevent the disease anthracnose. • Watch out for rampant lawn weeds, especially bindi-eye, clover and ﬂatweed (or cats ear). • Throw some gypsum over your lawn to open up the soil allowing the grass roots and water to penetrate deeper. • Repot your indoor plants. Mix in some water saving crystals and slow-release fertiliser into the potting mix. • Soil temperatures need to be around 20°C to germinate seeds of warm season vegetables. To check, see if pumpkin seeds are germinating by themselves from old compost. If so, then the soil is warm enough. Sow larger seeds such as beans, pumpkins, melons and corn directly in the ground. Remember that corn needs to be grown in a block not a row for pollination to be adequate.

• Dig up and divide canna lilies. Water them in well with a seaweed solution. • It’s a good month to start the fruit orchard. Plant mango, pawpaw, avocado, custard apple, carambola and sapodilla.

garden Vegetables

Plant carrot, choko, zucchini, sweet potato, cucumber, eggplant, beans, lettuce, radish, spring onion, squash, tomato, beetroot, capsicum, kohlrabi, okra, pumpkin, rockmelon, rosella, silverbeet, sweet corn and watermelon.

Sadly, this is Hula’s second stay with us here at the refuge, her owners moved, and their new home just didn’t suit her. Hula has a lovely, friendly personality, isn’t needy and quite happy to do her own thing as well. She has lived in a home with teenager before and is quite tolerant of the younger kids too. She is used to living an inside/ outside lifestyle and will need a cat enclosure to keep her safe.

Link is a beautiful big boy who thinks the h whole h l world ld is i fun and games. He loves to play with people and dogs. Being a puppy, he will likely do usual puppy things such as chew, dig and destroy. Due to his size, he is best suited to older kids. We don’t know what he is like with cats. Likes all dogs and a secure six foot fencing is needed to keep him safe.

Bev to an 8-all draw. In a second match up, the Carberys played a well fought marital contest with Val very convincingly the victor over Vince 16-5.

Contributed by Ken Barker PLAY resumed with the appearance of a masked ball on Thursday, August 12. Sarah Widin played Donna Manning beating her 14-12. Janelle Wilson 11 had a good day against Lynette Evans 2. Val Carbery and Bev Sockhill had a close call with Sally Adams and Vince Carbery but managed to ﬁnish up ahead 11-9. Wallace Roy played well to beat Helen Uhlmann 15-4. Sunday, August 15 saw just six players venturing out. Ken Barker and Vince played Donna and Val in a game where making a decent break seemed as diﬀicult as extracting teeth without anaesthetic. Meanwhile, Wallace and Janelle were galloping around the lawn making hoops right, left and centre. Vince and Ken could only manage 7 hoops while Donna and Val made 5. Wallace and Janelle made 12 apiece. Ahhh! The relief! It was with great relish that we embraced play without masks. That, together with the glorious almost spring weather, made playing croquet a joyous experience this past week. On Thursday, August 19, Sally played

It’s great being back on court and playing tennis. Unfortunately for the Wagtails and Woompoos, they both had a bye the ﬁrst week back. Friday 23 August: The Whistlers had a good win against Caloundra Hot Chillies. Due to injury Caloundra had to forfeit sets – but fought very hard for a score line of four sets each, 33 games to 28. Thanks to Donna Kuskopt, Annie Quarmby, Brenda Warner and Maree Hooley. Sunday 30 August: The Wikings were up against Nambas. The game was played in good spirits, everyone agreed that it was a fabulous afternoon of rallies. The weather was ominous at times, windy at others, sunny for a few

sport minutes, but mainly overcast. A few drops of rain, only Mal Wright was affected by this because he was the only one wearing spectacles. He never complained at all though, and kindly shared a tip for preventing fogging up of glasses, spray with vinegar after cleaning, and then wipe. At the end of the day the sets were equal at six each but unfortunately, we came up two games short. The team was Glenn Smith, Mal Wright, John Bradshaw, a big thanks for Andrew Blowes for filling in, Cindy Harris and Stacey Harris.

Contributed by Miles Allen It’s been four weeks since we’ve been able to play bowls, but we were back in full force at the start of last week (Monday, August 22) with our monthly pairs. We had teams from Mapleton, Kilcoy, Woodford and seven from our club playing for the prize money and glory. Bob Bethke and Mark Paine from Mapleton were the convincing winners of the day. Bob played very well, giving Mark some great advice, and assisting him when his form suﬀered. Wednesday, August 24’s twilight bowls had 41 players, all keen to make up for lost time. It was great to see so many people, especially on a cool night. The winners were the Musketeers, the Mighty 10s, the Golfers, the Oblimeys, the Outlaws and the Wott Notts. Sitting on the top of the table are the Oblimeys and in 2nd place are about four teams, all keen to catch up with the Oblimeys. Next week is the ﬁnal game of this season so our precious trophy will be

handed to the winners. On Friday we had 14 players at Scroungers with Brian Squires once again being too good for his opponents. Roy Gesch was firing on all cylinders and had the biggest winning margin of the day. Dave Robson came back after many months absence and showed his opponents that regardless of the break, he hasn’t lost any bowling skills. Like many local clubs we rely entirely on our volunteers to do 101 jobs though we always use local businesses and tradies whenever possible. Our volunteers manage and run the bar, regularly clean the premises and equipment, ensure commodities are in hand, cook and serve food, groom the green and ensure the gardens are weedfree and full of flowers, organise games and liaise with other clubs, and of course the committee have general control and management of the administration of the affairs, property, and funds of the club. Without all our volunteers, the club would not exist.

This week’s spirited sassiness can’t help but turn heads. Business may mix with pleasure, or perhaps a higher-up is instrumental in pushing you towards success. Whatever the case, right now you’re ambitious and talented enough to triumph. If others resent your moment of glory, ignore them. Push your aims skyward.

Chances are you’ve felt restrained by regulations lately but you’re now given a chance to break free. Where others might hesitate before the fear of an uncertain future, you lead by example and show you’re ready to move on. This could mean letting some old grievances drop, so be ready to forgive and forget.

It’s the ethereal, rather than the material, that captures your imagination this week. Now that the pressure is off work for a while, the focus steers towards spirituality and home. Creativity, love and children are where your attention falls. You work hard for your family, so take time to enjoy them too. Dreams have significant meanings.

We live on a planet where not everyone will always agree. End result? A battle of wills. Words may be spoken in haste and, in hindsight, with regret. Not to worry – time heals all. The true test comes in learning to overcome obstacles. When one way is blocked, find another. When one method fails, devise a new one.

It’s one of those times when you feel like disconnecting your devices and locking your door. But your reclusive behaviour shouldn’t be mistaken for the blues. It’s more a case of needing some time out for contemplation. With luck, everyone will respect that. By week’s end a reenergised cosmos pushes on, and so do you.

You often produce your best results when working in a team effort. Of course, it takes the right combination of people to bring about success and this is where some problems might arise. Finances, however, promise a much-needed boost, or someone close does well in the cash stakes and you get to share some of their spoils.

This is a week of change, particularly regarding your image. With charm and charisma peaking, prepare for a parade of admirers. If attached, expect to be especially close to your partner. At work, confidence coupled with creativity should get most of your ideas noticed and appreciated. Then you can finally wind down for the weekend.

Expect an all-or-nothing kind of week with little middle ground. The highs can bring surges of action, the lows apathy, or even over-confidence and aggression. If feeling energetic immerse yourself in demanding activity, especially if you’re stuck at home. Yes, you’re feeling frustrated – but so is everyone else.

Be careful not to confuse fantasy with reality this week. Despite your reputation for being detached, there are deep inner depths hidden beneath that sometimesremote exterior. This makes you a bit of a mystery. Perhaps you prefer it that way. After all, there’s no point in showing your entire hand, when one card at a time will do.

It’s a week to slam the door on inquisitive fingers. Whether you see others’ attentions as flattery, quality control or espionage, keep your best ideas to yourself. With thinking processes clear and precise, use the latter half of the week to put new plans into motion. Instinct will help you negotiate obstacles.

Networking is an excellent way to share your talents and this week you might find yourself in the right place at the right time. Similarly, it’s knowledge that creates success, so impress others with your intellect. If love is on your mind, it shouldn’t be too difficult to deliver a knockout sales pitch. After all, it’s a commodity you believe in.

If trouble flares, act with diplomacy. The trick lies in distancing yourself from this week’s emotional inferno, rather than getting caught up in it. As soon as Sagittarians buy into any over-hyped drama, you lose your natural objectivity and could make some ill-considered decisions. This isn’t the time for that. Don’t overreact.

Routine has become a way of life for many. If life has become too predictable, it’s time to try something new, even if you’re stuck at home. Start by making one small change every day or so. Initially, the choice may not feel comfortable but it’s important to realise how long old patterns have been fixed in place. Be bold Capricorn.

If given a second chance at ventures that previously didn’t go so well, figure out who’s best at what and drum up a solid sense of teamwork – even if it has to be networking via the internet. Should love or money come your way, accept with gratitude. In the same spirit, give openly. Best news: perhaps a gentle stroll down memory lane.

Just when you thought everything was going well, yet another setback may test you. Don’t panic. You have the tenacity to get through this. Most Leos work too long and too hard to even consider surrender. You’re prepared to take all necessary measures to maintain a sense of stability – that’s what counts.

Get your head out of the clouds Libra and take a long, hard look at where your life is really headed. Only then will you be aware of what is and what isn’t possible. To make matters worse, it could feel as if the laws of resistance have been applied to any plan you try to put in motion. Slow down and keep life simple.

This week Taurus, you’re a natural, socially and professionally, too. The old cliché about catching more flies with honey than with vinegar springs to mind. It’s also a great time to update your image. If any caution is needed it will involve finances. Thanks to a spend-happy cosmos you suddenly want everything you see.

This birthday week coincides with an important turning point – a time when you’re free to attract whatever, or whoever, you please. For some, new work unfolds. Others enjoy the pleasures of requited romance. Just be wary of overly dependent companions, particularly those who happily fritter away your hard-earned cash.

Your eyes are set on a special prize this week. While you can occasionally be a tad scattered, now’s the time to strategise long-term goals and prioritise your routines. Pisceans are usually okay with not being a triple-treat sensation overnight. A surprise offer could also tie in with the luck you’re already enjoying.

Ariens are fond of fresh starts and this week you’ll either feel the urge to expand your living quarters or throw out some of the accumulated mess. Or you may decide to take a quick break. Suddenly everyone’s unusually cooperative, to the point of making you wonder where the catch lies. Perhaps your relaxed mood is contagious.

With this week’s tetchy Mars, it’s definitely not the time to flirt with danger, make important decisions or try to reconcile relationship issues. The week ahead requires decisive handling as cosmic forces close the gates on unviable projects. There may be disappointments, arguments or financial setbacks. If so, just let go.

It’s time to put down some homeloving roots Gemini. Family numbers may grow, perhaps through marriage or a partner, a new flatmate, birth or even a new pet. You’re also likely to draw closer to immediate family and, if need be, turn to them for assistance. Parents could offer help, be it financial or otherwise.

For some time, you’ve suffered upheaval. Still, the experience hasn’t been all bad as you’ve gained the gifts of wisdom, tenacity and compassion. The planets now announce a change in pace and growing confidence. Romance wins a generous time slot, with enough allure to conjure up an enigmatic new love.

As you undoubtedly know, absolute power corrupts. That is, of course, until you decide it’s your week to even the odds. Harsh words may be spoken and decisive action could be taken. It’s high time you responded to someone else’s bullying. If this someone threatens to out a secret, call their bluff. You’ve nothing to fear.

JUST FOR LAUGHS Well connected A FROG walks into a bank and goes up to a teller whose name plaque says “Ms Patricia Whack”. He tells her he wants to take out a home loan. Somewhat taken aback, Ms Whack says that she’ll need to get some details from him. The frog, rather impatiently, says that he knows the bank manager and that his father is Mick Jagger. “OK,” Ms Whack says, “but have you got any collateral?” At this, the frog pulls out a ceramic pink elephant and plonks it on the counter. “Well, I’ll have to have a word with the bank manager,” Ms Whack says. She goes to see the manager and tells him that there’s a frog outside asking for a bank loan.

“Yes, I know him. His father is Mick Jagger,” the manager says. “But what’s this about,” Ms Whack asks, showing him the ceramic elephant. The manager sees the ceramic elephant and says: ”It’s a nick-nack Patty Whack, give the frog a loan, his old man’s a Rolling Stone!”
