COVER

Smerdon success in the States

By Jack Waters

story Ally Smerdon

FORMER Glass House residents Ros and Kerry Smerdon knew they had to make plenty of sacrifices when they packed up their macadamia farm and moved to the other side of the world to help their sons Adam and Noah chase their motocross dreams.

They admit it’s been a bumpy ride to get to this point but they’re now as optimistic as ever with youngest son Noah going toe-to-toe with some of the best young riders in the United States.

Today, August 3, Noah will compete in the 125cc B/C and schoolboy sections at the Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross otocross Championship (Loretta Lynn’s) at Loretta Lynn’s nn’s ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.

The race is the biggest gest of the year on the amateur motocross calendar, with riders having to first make it through gh area qualifiers and regionals to make it to the final 42.

Ros said it had been en quite the journey up to this point. oint.

“Both Kerry and I are very proud of Noah and all ll he has achieved to date,” she he said.

“The last four yearss have not been easy with plenty of bumps in the road, but he has kept on Noah in action going.

“Noah won three Australian Junior Motocross Championships and it would be amazing to see him bring home Loretta Lynn’s championship, the most coveted amateur title in the USA.” The Smerdons have certainly had to deal with their fair share of injuries along the way, with Noah suffering a broken wrist in 2020 and a traumatic brain injury in 2019.

His older brother Adam, who raced in America until the start of this year, also suffered a number of serious injuries su tthat eventually forced him to give up tthe sport competitively.

Despite these experiences, Noah still wants to make a career in motocross wa and Ros said he had the family’s full support. sup “His dedication is second to none,” Ros said.

R Noah will move up to 250cc after tthe Loretta Lynn championships.

He will race at tthe Amateur National Day, with his 250cc at the Pro Motocross round at first race in 250c Raceway in Indiana.

Ironman Racewa “His intention is to race the 250B class through to 2022, move to the A class for the Loretta Lynn’s in 20 following year and turn pro following Loretta Lynn’s in August 2023, when he will be 18 years old,” Ros said.

Sporting success isn’t anything new for the family.

Noah’s aunt and biggest fan Ally is preparing to represent the Sunshine Coast and Burnett District Ladies Golf Club at the Meg Nunn Salver Queensland golf tournament in September.

Ally’s dad Alan has also been recognised as a life member of the BeeGees and the Sunshine Coast Football Association.

Although sport is at the centre of the Smerdon’s life, they certainly do miss home.

“Our eldest son Will stayed in Australia when we moved and is working and going to university,” Ros said.

“It has been hard to not be able to see Will as often as we would like and not to be part of his daily life.

“It has been difficult for all of us to leave family and friends and start again in a new country. We have started a business in the USA and that in itself has been a challenge,” Ros said.

“We look forward to when we can see our family and friends again and look forward to coming back for a proper Christmas where it’s summer instead of winter and we can go to the beach and eat prawns and mangoes!”

Upgrade to include traffic lights for the zoo AN extra $6 million has been allocated to safety improvement upgrades on Steve Irwin Way between Beerwah and Landsborough to fund new traffic lights at the Fraser Road Australia Zoo entrance, taking the total funding to $24 million.

Planning has been completed and details of the upgrade works released showing lane widening, new culverts, new lighting, additional vegetation clearing and now a set of traffic lights.

The project is being funding by both the federal and state governments on an 80:20 split basis.

Queensland Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the project would reduce the risk of crashes along the highvolume road, which carries more than 11,000 vehicles a day.

Road widening would accommodate the intersection modifications as well as enable marking of wide centre lines to provide further separation between opposing traffic.

Member for Caloundra Jason Hunt said the new signals and three dedicated rightturn lanes included in the design between Beerwah and Landsborough would improve safety by making it easier to turn at intersections.

“Wider shoulders will be installed, giving drivers additional areas to pull over,

assisting emergency vehicles and wide vehicles, and providing greater separation between cars and bike riders,” Mr Hunt said.

“At 2m wide and marked with bike symbols, the road shoulders improve safety for riders and all intersections will be marked with dedicated bike lanes at conflict points.”

Construction is expected to start in November, weather and construction scheduling permitting.

Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace said the traffic signals on Steve Irwin Way were funded as part of the commitment to provide economic stimulus to support Queensland infrastructure and jobs.

Why $6 million lights at the zoo?

IN response to the recent GC&M News online news story about an extra $6 million allocated for traffic lights at the entrance to Australia Zoo, some locals questioned the decision.

A TMR spokesperson told GC&M News that Transport and Main Roads (TMR) had requested funding for signals to improve safety at the Steve Irwin Way and Fraser Road intersection due to its high crash history.

“Since 2017, TMR has undertaken investigations into crash history, traffic volumes and the road environment to confirm this intersection requires safety treatments and to determine an appropriate design,” the spokesperson said.

The accident history at the intersection appears to be a significant factor in the decision.

“There were six crashes at the intersection between 2013 and 2020,” the spokesperson said.

“In addition to a fatality in 2017, there were also crashes that involved hospitalisation and medical treatment.

“Steve Irwin Way is a busy road used by an average of 11,500 vehicles daily and there can be limited opportunities and insufficient gaps to make safe turns.

“The Fraser Road intersection has a high turning volume and a higher concentration of tourist traffic.

“Signals will reduce the crash risk by controlling turning movements and will also assist to manage traffic flow during peak periods.”

TMR submitted a proposal for the new traffic lights to the jointly funded Australian Road Safety Program, resulting in the Steve Irwin Way safety improvement project funding jumping from $18 million to $24 million in total.

Council doubles down on noise in dog kennel proposal IN a battle between acoustic experts over the likely noise levels created by the controversial dog breeding and kennel proposal between Amigh Road and Steve Irwin Way in Landsborough, Sunshine Coast Council has again expressed its concerns about the development being able to meet acceptable community noise standards.

In a letter responding to an independent noise analysis commissioned by the council, the original acoustics expert engaged by the planning consultants working on the Diamond Valley Kennels Pty Ltd application disagreed entirely with the independent expert’s conclusions that the application was unsuitable and not approvable.

However, in an apparent acknowledgement of a possible issue with excessive noise, the developers appear to have reduced the scale of the dog kennel component. Updated design plans have been submitted indicating that the kennels would be reduced from the original 200 boarding dogs to 48. No reduction is indicated in the scale of the dog breeding component.

As well, 2.5m acoustic barriers are proposed to be built around both facilities.

However, council’s development planner Jeff Dodd wasn’t swayed, stating that even with these changes “it has not been demonstrated that the development

“Keeping you active f or life” Physiotherapy Exercise Physiology Hydrotherapy Group Exercise Classes

is capable of being operated without causing adverse community noise impacts”.

Mr Dodd has asked the planning consultants to provide the council with more information addressing ten significant issues by no later than 5pm on August 5.

Considering the tone of the council’s communication about the development proposal so far, if the information isn’t forthcoming or is insufficient, the question will be whether the council’s development planners recommend the application be refused.

With more than 410,000 submissions to the council objecting to the development during the community submission phase in 2020, this possible outcome is likely to be widely applauded.

The reports and correspondence for the application (MCU18/0311) can be viewed on council’s development assessment website at https://cutt.ly/zm00wA2

No Beerwah Charity Sports Popular kids’s song - Secret Agent Magpie gets a remake you went to school on the Sunshine Coast during and Spring Carnival this year theIFpast two decades, you may remember singing Contributed by Bruce Page Chairman, Beerwah Charity Sports Committee We wish to confirm that the Beerwah Charity Sports will not be held this year.

COVID-19 restrictions, such as compulsory online booking and food regulations, which could eliminate our most profitable stalls, would have made it very difficult to run a successful sports day.

The COVID situation is still unpredictable, with the everpresent possibility of further restrictions or lockdowns, so the committee felt that we had no alternative but to leave the sports on hold for 2021, hoping for better conditions in 2022.

Early next year we will be looking for support from the community to help kick-start the event. Coming back from a two-year break will present a different set of problems as we will have lost momentum.

We will hold a public meeting in early 2022 to enlist community support and review the format of the event.

Many of our members have been working on the sports day for the whole 48 years of Past event its history, and there is a need for some new committee members to get this popular event up and running again.

The 2019 sports day raised $29,000 for Cancer Council Queensland, so this is a very important community fundraiser in the fight against cancer.

along to the classic children’s tune ‘Secret Agent Magpie’.

The brainchild of former Glass House Mountains State School music teacher Ian Ross Williams, the song has now been revamped and the remixed version premiered on YouTube late last month.

Ian said he now had his sights set on ‘Baby Shark’, YouTube’s current most popular children’s song with more than nine billion views.

“I believe that musically and visually ‘Secret Agent Magpie’ (remix) is a better children’s song and a far superior production than ‘Baby Shark’,” he said.

“I am under no illusions about actually making money out of this but I do want my songs to reach a wider global audience.”

The original idea for ‘Secret Agent Magpie’ came to Ian in 1997, composing the tune within just two weeks of moving to the region.

Ian and his children often made jokes about magpie secret agents spying on them in the caravan park where they were staying while waiting to be resettled.

“Returning to the caravan park after a day’s househunting, we’d often catch a sight of a magpie or two walking about in the van park grounds but then they’d surreptitiously disappear behind a tree or somewhere,” he said.

Ian taught in plenty of Sunshine Coast primary schools over the past 20 years, with the original ‘Secret Agent Magpie’ gaining traction not only in the classroom but on YouTube as well.

Now retired from teaching, Ian decided to team up with local maestro and GC&M News columnist Dr Michael Whiticker and animation wizard Grant Harding

I

Former primary school teacher and ‘Secret Agent Magpie’ creator Ian Ross Williams to bring a visual artist’s fresh eyes to his most popular song.

“I decided to use more commercial instrumentation, added an up-tempo shuffle-dance riff, new sound effects, including spy talk voice-overs, as well as tweaking a few lyrics,” he said.

“Importantly, I was lucky enough to be able to employ the services of Grant Harding, from Channel 9, to do the animation.”

However, one thing is for sure, if Ian wants his songs to reach the heights of ‘Baby Shark’, he’s certainly got a few views to go.

Infrastructure upgrades for Olympic Games

By Jack Waters LOCALS can look forward to a decade of infrastructure upgrades on the Sunshine Coast spurred on by the recent news that Brisbane and South East Queensland will host the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The big announcement has drawn comments from our elected representatives and Sunshine Coast Council, who all agree our region will be in a prime position to host a range of events but only after some big infrastructure upgrades.

Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace said upgrading roads and railways was a number one priority.

“There is now added pressure to complete the three lanes of the Bruce Highway all the way from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast as well as a new Kawana Motorway, which will run from Bells Creek arterial road through to Kawana,” Mr Wallace said.

“I’ll also be continuing to push for heavy rail to run from Beerwah right to the coast.

“Ten years is not a long time for a project of this size so getting this under way is critical,” he said.

State Member for Glass House Andrew Powell said the region needed better east-west public transport solutions.

“We need to ensure we have duplicated heavy rail all the way from Brisbane to Maroochydore and, ideally, Nambour,” Mr Powell said.

“Steve Irwin Way and the Bruce Highway western alternative, through Beerburrum, Wamuran, Caboolture West and down to Brisbane, need to be upgraded and built.

“And to leave a lasting legacy, the cycling Velothon Sunshine Coast routes, roads like Landsborough-Maleny, Maleny-Montville and Maleny-Kenilworth need to be widened and made far safer.”

The games are expected to inject up to $8.1 billion into the SE Queensland economy and the Sunshine Coast region will reap some of those benefits.

Member for Caloundra Jason Hunt said the tourism and economic boost would be huge, and there would be added incentives for younger athletes to pursue their chosen sports.

“The opportunity we have is an 11-year run up to maximise the tourism, sporting, cultural, educational and business opportunities for the Sunshine Coast,” Mr Hunt said.

“The Olympic announcement will create excitement and anticipation towards 2032 and is the perfect time to inspire kids into sport and invest in more emerging athlete pathways.

Olympic annoucement celebrations at Kings Beach “That’s why we’ve just announced another 50,000 FairPlay vouchers to help families with the cost of sport to see more kids get active.”

So, what events can we expect to see on the Sunshine Coast? Sunshine Coast Council has highlighted four venues in the region that offer opportunities to host a range of events: - The Kawana precinct, including Sunshine Coast Stadium for football preliminaries and the Sunshine Coast Indoor Sports Centre for basketball preliminaries - Alexandra Headland as the staging area for road-based events including cycling, the marathon and walking races, as well as Paralympic cycling and marathons, and the kiteboarding (sailing) competition - Sunshine Coast Mountain Bike Centre at Parklands for the mountain bike competition - The new Maroochydore city centre to host the Sunshine Coast Olympic Village

Although there seems to be plenty of planning and preparation work ahead, it’s important to remember what we already have.

Sunshine Coast Council deputy mayor Cr Rick Baberowski said that although the region wasn’t ready to host the games yet, it was in a very good place.

“Our fundamentals are excellent,” Cr Baberowski said.

“We have our values and partnerships in place, we have a great climate, distinctive geography and remarkable environment to offer. And we have the required infrastructure planning in place as developed through the bid process.

“Beyond these mostly pragmatic considerations, we can leverage off the remarkable spirit of our community of communities.

“We’re a pretty savvy, optimistic bunch and I believe we will all do what we can to deliver an awesome experience before, during and even after the games,” Cr Baberowski said.

OVER the past 12 months, our Glasshouse Country Chamber has been actively advocating and promoting the growth of agritourism in our region.

Thanks to our dedicated committee members, we have been able to host a series of agritourism meetings and workshops with key stakeholders, including local farmers, tourism operators and businesses, to raise the profile of our stunning Glasshouse Country and its fine produce.

Our focus includes establishing a Glasshouse Country farm and food trail, which we are hoping to run in the new year, and working to create a manual to assist keen growers to become farm gate ready.

We are also working towards making a submission to the upcoming Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme about changes that will hopefully assist in making applications for our rural areas more user friendly, cost effective and advantageous for our region.

Our most recent event took place at Bankfoot House where we had three guest speakers – Karen Martin from Yanalla Farms, Andrew Eaves-

Brown from Sunshine Coast Council’s economic development unit and Kurt Martin, the recreation trails activation officer.

Karen shared with us her Farm2Plate exchange experience in Beaudesert recently and what that could look like for us hosting a similar event here.

Andrew talked to us about the council’s vision for the growth of agritourism on the coast and our unique opportunity as a region, and how we can work collaboratively.

If any of our local farmers and tourism businesses are interested in being involved in our workshops and meetings, please don’t hesitate to contact our chamber for all the details.

In celebration of our incredible area and produce, this year the chamber’s AGM dinner will showcase some of our great produce in a menu created

by Hideaway Weddings. Our AGM is set for Wednesday, September 8 with tickets available for purchase by both members and non-members.

See something say something Surf pool a step closer MALENY Hotel has partnered with the Speak Up Now - Stop Domestic and Family Violence group in Maleny to produce drink coasters with a message about domestic violence.

The coasters will be used throughout the pub and bistro areas with the message ‘See Something - Say Something’ and include a phone number to contact for help.

Those who work in hotels regularly witness abusive behaviour. The coasters affirm that such behaviour is not acceptable, and that bystanders need to speak up and offer help to victims.

Joel Weyman and Kat Thompson from Maleny Hotel and Val France from Speak Up Now (centre) with the coasters The Speak Up Now group is a collaboration between the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre, the Rotary Club of Maleny and Zonta Blackall Range.

The group’s aim is to reduce the number of domestic and family violence incidents within the community by raising awareness of what individuals can do to help children, women and men to live a life free of violence and abuse.

A group spokesperson said they were grateful to be working with the Maleny Hotel and hoped other businesses and groups in the community would also take steps to call out disrespect and abuse and point victims in the right direction to get help. www.facebook.com/SpeakUpNowEndFamily ViolenceMalenyandBlackallRange

Headed by the effervescent local real estate dynamo Dan Clarke, this exciting new business takes over from the offices that previously housed First National Real Estate Beerwah.

Dan said the new look real estate business had joined forces with Eview group, Australia’s key network of independent real estate agents to boost operational support and capacity, and to bring a new tech savvy element to the business.

Although the business had a bold new look, Dan was pleased that the sales and support team was still the same, and excited that the team could bring energy and passion into a new era of real estate service and accessibility.

Dan said by collaborating with the Eview Group he was able to access excellent operational support and tech savvy solutions that allowed for a greater level of service. This gave the team the ability to focus on what

they were passionate about, which was engaging with and supporting the local community.

“Our rebranding represents a modernisation of the old model of business and brings the whole team into a new era. We’ve got incredible support from the Eview network that includes increased IT, online and social media capability, as well as access to direct relationships with agents in the southern market,” Dan said.

The striking new colour scheme for Clarke & Co, real estate executives was a careful decision orchestrated

by Dan who wanted to make sure the new brand really stood out!

“I’m a marketer at my core, so the idea with the bold new colouring was to really capture attention and to provide a point of difference,” Dan said.

The agency will service the Glasshouse Country region from Beerburrum to Mooloolah, Peachester to Maleny. To find out more call 5494 6444 or contact Dan on 0457 026 693. 68 Simpson Street, Beerwah.

BEERWAH PICTURE FRAMING Picture framing by appointment 3 Bridget Court, Beerwah

MOBILE 0407 678 520

Custom picture framing is a term that is often misunderstood. Fitting a picture to a store bought frame has limitations in that frame and mat colours and size are predetermined whereas a custom framer works to the size and style of the art. A custom picture framer uses best quality materials to enhance the presentation of art and its longevity. Seb Messina works with you to select the ultimate design to bring out the best look for your art.

Singers support brigade’s water supply

Progress on the famous Fiat

MALENY Rural Fire Brigade (RFB) hopes to take delivery of a new trailer, pump and inflatable water reservoir as a result of a $5,000 donation from Maleny Singers.

First officer Scott Perrie said community support made a huge difference to the brigade.

“We don’t get lots of high-profile fires around Maleny but many people don’t realise that our firefighters travel far and wide to help out other brigades fight big fires,” Scott said.

“Our trucks will only store 2,000 litres of water but the inflatable reservoir reservo will

Des Donnan and his 1923 Fiat

allow us to store 16,000 litres. The extra storage is crucial when you have a big fire.”

Maleny Singers president Ian McMaster said the group was really pleased with the outcome of the season’s charity performances.

“We planned to support the RFB last year after those huge summer fires.

However, COVID shut down our 2020 season,” Ian said.

“We are just so pleased we were able to make it work under the constraints this year.”

DES Donnan’s remarkable restoration of his 1923 Fiat has become well known to vintage car enthusiasts on the Blackall Range. Now visitors to the upcoming Kevin Howell Open Day will have an opportunity to review progress on this extraordinary endeavour.

The almost completed Fiat, rescued from a paddock as little more than a pile of rust, will be a feature of the Show ‘n Shine display of classic cars and motorcycles at the Pioneer Village, Bryce Lane, Maleny on Saturday, August 28.

Vintage vehicles won’t be the only feature as the Maleny Historical Society, the Maleny Men’s Shed and the Blackall Range Horseless Carriage Club combine

news

forces again to open the village’s three historic houses and contents, including the remarkable Glenferna doll collection.

There will also be a market for handmade craft items, displays of bygone artefacts and machinery, demonstrations of blacksmithing, woodchopping and whip cracking, and much more.

The day is dedicated to the late president of the Maleny Historical Society, Kevin Howell, who was also an active member of both the other organisations on the site.

Entry will be by donation, with proceeds to local charities. Parking will be available on site.

Avoid, reduce, reuse, recycle and repair

New Peachester Rural Fire station

MAPLE Street Co-op and Maleny Forums hosted an informal evening recently to find out what is happening around Maleny to reduce waste.

Individuals, community organisations, schools and businesses shared how they already avoid waste, reduce, reuse, recycle and repair.

The intention of the get-together was to take waste reduction to the next level with the help of a few key people.

“Many people in the area are doing great things for recycling but as is normal, there is a lack of joined-up thinking,” Barry Smith from Maleny Forums said.

He said the night was “about sharing what we are doing and then taking some action to do even better”.

The meeting was attended by Cr Winston Johnston and Sunshine Coast waste team members Craig Wilson and Sandi Johnston who provided a short overview on what is being done in the region, with a large focus being on reducing the amount of garden waste and kitchen scraps going into the red (standard waste) bin.

Three simple things they suggested that all residents could do to help make a difference were: 1. Rinse out containers before putting in yellow recycle bins – they’re still sorted by hand at the depot.

2. Think about downsizing your bin and using a green waste bin – nearly half

A PLAQUE to mark the official opening of the new Peachester Fire Station was unveiled on Saturday, July 24, by Fire and Emergency Services Minister Mark Ryan, Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) commissioner Greg Leach and Peachester Rural Fire Brigade’s first officer Kevin Wrayford.

A number of other dignitaries were in attendance, including QFES deputy commissioner Mike Wassing, assistant commissioners John Bolger and Gary McCormack, chief superintendent Tony Johnstone, area director Matthew Inwood and many other QFES personnel and brigade members. however, the overall number of invited guests was lower due to COVID restrictions.

An open day is planned for the community to inspect the facilities and equipment on Saturday, August 7 from 10am-3pm.

The well-appointed station, located

of waste bin contents are biodegradable food scraps and garden clippings.

3. Think about whether you need to buy an item – avoid creating waste.

Passioned discussion highlighted what was already done locally, including the local Fix It Café in the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre, the 10c container recycling on Wednesday mornings at the IGA carpark and the Witta Transfer Station shop that operated on Saturdays.

The group brainstormed what could happen next, with key themes being the need for action over discussion, more community education, finding out facts so the group could track progress, advocacy to government and packaging producers, and community projects.

The community project ideas were inspired by Yandina Community Garden, Transition Towns, War on Waste in Glasshouse, Responsible Cafes and the plastic recycling and biogas generation initiative nationally.

The forum generated so much enthusiasm that a group of 16 people committed to putting projects into action. The Maple Street Co-op has offered to be a clearing house for information on local recycling points.

The group welcomes anyone to join them at the next working group meeting. If you are keen to roll up your sleeves and make things happen, contact Fi on 0416 057 702.

at 1136 Peachester Road, is near the Stanley River, which provides a constant firefighting water source even in drought. This is essential as Peachester has no town water supply.

The station has been designed for the future with capacity for three medium attack fire trucks, an office, training room and rapid water refill capability making it a strategic asset for firefighting in the area.

The brigade management committee thanked the community for its support over the six years it took to finalise the construction. Building costs were minimised with the support of local businesses.

Community members are encouraged to bring the family to the open day.

There will be a sausage sizzle and drinks available.

Queensland Health COVID safe practices will apply.

THE Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has started sending out instructions on how to complete this year’s Census to more than 10 million Australian households. The Census is due to be held on Tuesday, August 10.

About 85 per cent of all households in Australia will receive a letter explaining how to complete the Census online or how to order a paper form.

Some households will receive a paper form and a reply-paid envelope for its return to the ABS. There are instructions on the paper form for those who prefer to complete it online.

Andrew Henderson, the ABS Census executive director and national spokesperson, asked everyone to check their letterboxes.

“We’re encouraging people to complete their Census as soon as they receive their instructions if they know where they will be on Tuesday, August 10,” Mr Henderson said.

“This means you don’t have to wait and complete it on a single night. We know this flexibility will make it more convenient for people to complete.

“People will be able to complete the Census online, on their mobile device or on paper. We’re also making it as easy as possible for everyone to participate

in the Census with a range of support and assistance available.”

There are two new questions in the 2021 Census, the first changes to the questions asked since 2006.

The new questions are on long-term health conditions, such as arthritis and diabetes, and on defence force participation.

ABS expects about 75 per cent of forms to be completed online this year, compared to 63 per cent in 2016. It will take the average household 30 minutes to complete the Census.

The 2021 Census campaign message is “every stat tells a story”, highlighting how Census data is used to guide services for individuals, families and communities.

Goannas win inaugural Reconciliation Cup COVID vaccinations available locally THE Sunshine Coast Goannas celebrated a comfortable victory in the inaugural Reconciliation Cup, held on July 19, after downing the Select Sunshine Coast XI 4-0.

The recognition and celebration of local Indigenous culture was at the heart of the afternoon, with the Goanna players performing a traditional dance before kick-off in front of a packed Ballinger Park.

It was a big win for the Goannas, with the Select Sunshine Coast XI made up of the some of the best players in the region.

Goannas founder and president Wayne Alberts said it was an evening the

players, coaching staff and committee would remember for a long time.

“The players are always proud to play and represent their own people,” Wayne said.

“The mob is very important for our boys and to be able to play in the Reconciliation Cup means a lot to them.

“I’d also like to say a big thank you to the Buderim Wanderers and the Goannas committee for all the work they put in.”

Wayne said the Reconciliation Cup would now be an annual event.

A didgeridoo and smoking ceremony was held in the dressing sheds after the game to celebrate the Goannas’ victory.

FACES and PLACES

with Sonia Isaacs Clark

Nettie and Ian Hamilton from the Sunshine Coast Choral Society THE Sunshine Coast Choral Society will perform Purcell’s magnificent baroque opera ‘Dido and Aeneas’ later this month. GC&M News caught up with Maleny local Nettie Hamilton and husband Ian, who are both members of the choir, to find out more about them and the choir.

Ian and Nettie Hamilton

Q: Tell us about yourselves and how long you’ve been with this choir?

We are retired now. We first met in 1995 at the Findhorn Foundation, a spiritual and ecological community based in Scotland. We have lived in Maleny for the past three years, before that we spent seven years in Scotland and before that, we had nine years in Mapleton.

Ian has had a long association with the Sunshine Coast Choral Society that started in 2003 and I did one season before we left for Scotland, before re-joining again last year.

We have both travelled and performed internationally with our singing over the years. I’ve belonged to a 100-women choir in Scotland and enjoyed amazing experiences performing at the Royal Albert Hall in London, and Ian has previously belonged to the Edinburgh Choral Union and the South Wales Male Voice Choir.

Q: Tell us about the choir and what you enjoy most about being a part of it?

We have 60 members and it is a friendly group with a wonderful choice of music to perform. Our musical director and conductor Adrian King has been with us since 2007 and he is brilliant.

He has a lovely flow and while he is very committed to excellence, he brings a wonderful sense of humour to our rehearsals and has a lovely down-to-earth nature that contributes a nice feel to the choir. We meet once a week and our choristers range in age from people in their 30s to 70s.

Q: How does it feel to be performing an opera written in the late 1600s? Why is the music still so powerful today?

It feels amazing! It’s a very emotive opera with stirring music and passionate arias – it’s never dull!

It is a monumental baroque composition and one of England’s foremost operatic works. It is humbling to be part of a great choir performing this work over 300 years after it was first performed.

The music is extremely powerful and the opera recounts the life of Dido, Queen of Carthage, her love for Trojan hero Aeneas and her despair when he abandons her – so not that removed from modern love stories with intrigue, joy, manipulation and drama.

Tragic love stories always touch people’s hearts and resonate deeply regardless of when they were written.

Q: What do you think audiences will enjoy about the experience?

It will be a delightful afternoon with our 60-piece choir backed by the Sunshine Coast Chamber Strings, both conducted by Adrian King. I think the audience will be pleasantly surprised by the exuberance of the music and the real sense of being part of something so fine and uplifting.

The Sunshine Coast Choral Society and the Sunshine Coast Chamber Strings will perform Purcell’s ‘Dido and Aeneas’ at 2pm on Sunday, August 29 at the Gregson & Weight memorial chapel, 159 Wises Road, Buderim.

Afternoon tea will be provided. Tickets cost $30 and $25 concession. For bookings call Yvonne on 0431 550 713. www.suncoastchoral.org.au

Vale Bryan Harris, the ‘Mayor of Mooloolah’ By his mate, Alan Below MOOLOOLAH recently lost one of its most colourful characters – 61-year-old Bryan Harris, affectionately known as the Mayor of Mooloolah – following a stoic battle with cancer.

Bryan was fortunate to live his entire life in Diamond Valley, attending Mooloolah Primary School, which entailed a 5km walk, accompanied by his brother Peter, at a time when most of the road was rough gravel and unsealed.

By today’s standards, a young Bryan would be considered a bush kid. The family home was at the end of the road (now called Harris Road), nestled in a towering gum tree forest that gave way to subtropical rainforest.

Bryan and his mates would take long bush walks up the creek, often toting a .22 rifle, exploring the forest and

learning the intricacies of nature as they went.

Sometimes, parents Bill and Joan would accompany them. Both parents had been bush kids and had a wealth of knowledge to pass on to their offspring.

Bryan was intelligent, loquacious and gregarious. This meant that if you bumped into him in the street, you had better be ready for a long discussion or debate about something, be it politics, the state of the nation, the evils of red meat, Panama disease, or even aliens and crop circles!

The fact that he took time to converse with anyone endeared him to many and Bryan was well known by hundreds.

It has been stated by lots of people that “Bryan was the first local to talk to us when we were new to town”.

Wake for Bryan Harris in July

Bryan in the heart of Diamond Valley in April He gave freely of his time to assist those in need and was a jack-of-alltrades. Any community with a Bryan Harris is a lucky community!

Bryan’s gift was that his empathy for others spanned the generations and he brought out the best in people.

Whether you were young or old, hippie or establishment, a newbie or a longtime resident; Bryan had time for you.

If you asked him for help in any way and it was in his power to do so, he would turn up and help get the job done.

This had the effect of uniting his community, strengthening the bonds between all and sundry.

It has been said that the definition of a good man is “the type of bloke that you would like to come along and help if your mother and sister were stuck in a broken-down car on a dark, lonely road”. Bryan was that bloke.

A handmade wooden bench was unveiled at a recent community hall gathering in his honour and will soon be installed as a permanent memorial to honour Bryan’s contribution to his town.

Great day out MEMBERS of the Glasshouse Country Senior Citizens Club recently went on a magical mystery tour with Mystic Mountains Tours – destination unknown.

The members joined the luxury coach at various towns before heading off on a mystery tour, initially going north on a scenic route and finally alighting at the Ginger Factory Yandina for morning tea and to explore the offerings available there.

Publicity officer Janette Barnes said the group also did their bit for the economy and tourist industry.

“Trundling back on the coach, we continued a delightful drive through the hinterland, eventually arriving at Kenilworth for lunch at the Kenilworth Hotel,” Janette said.

The Kenilworth Dairies provided a great opportunity for an ice cream or yoghurt for dessert.

The seniors also enjoyed fun quizzes during the outing and winning prizes.

The return trip was picturesque, travelling through the Conondale, Witta and Maleny areas on the way home.

“Many thanks to our chauffeur Andrew and Mystic Mountains Tours for a very enjoyable and much needed day out,” Janette said.

COMMUNITY

Probus has another great month THE Glass House Mountains Probus Club was saddened this month by the death of long-term member Ella Daniells, who joined the group in 2004.

Ella was encouraged to join by her neighbours and in no time became a great contributor and a friend to all.

On a happy note, both the club’s recent activities – lunch at the Banana Benders and an outing to Fort Lytton to learn some of Queensland’s early history – were great successes.

The group had a perfect winter day for the trip to Brisbane with a great guide for the enthusiastic group to make it a memorable visit. The comfortable bus journey also included a stop at Wynnum’s beachside for a great fish lunch.

The club meets on the second Wednesday of each month and there is space for new members. Any active retirees who would like to share the fun, frivolity and friendship of the Glass House Mountains Probus Club can contact Norma on 5439 0446.

YOU What’s with Council’s decision to reject the application for a Coles at Beerwah

By Greg Brown

SUNSHINE Coast Council’s decision to reject the three speculative development applications for a new Coles supermarket, McDonald’s and a petrol station on industrial lands in Beerwah has made strategic planning a hot topic among locals … even if they don’t know much about strategic planning.

Briefly, the background is that Coles gambled that it could sweep aside the future planning designs for Beerwah, developed over the past few decades, by putting forward a scheme to promote a homemaker centre on lands that everyone knew were strategically earmarked for future light industrial small businesses.

Coles announced it would start with a petrol station, a McDonald’s, a smaller showroom and a Coles supermarket, with no firm commitment to building the rest of it at any time in the future.

In reality (and unsurprisingly), Coles was most interested in getting a Coles approved but knew that an application at that site for a supermarket alone would never get development consent.

The council made it clear that the proposal was fraught with problems and highlighted its concerns on several occasions.

In the end, council planning assessors couldn’t ignore the weight of the conflicts and inconsistencies the proposal had with the sound development principles found in the planning scheme and recommended the three applications be refused. All elected councillors agreed and voted unanimously to support the planning staff ’s recommendation.

The reporting of this decision has created an outpouring of comment and questioning from locals.

Between the hundreds of views, claims, assertions, allegations and conspiracy theories, a number of currents of opinion can be gleaned.

Let’s take a look at the main ones.

We want Coles

Most people think having a Coles in the hinterland is a good thing. Good for convenience, good for competition, good for jobs and good for increasing choice.

Some don’t, saying the existing eight supermarket stores is enough for now.

The council’s case wasn’t that Coles isn’t a good idea for the area, just that the chosen location wasn’t right for the long-term future of Beerwah as a commercial centre.

The argument isn’t so clear on a McDonald’s. Most who support a fast-food takeaway option say they would rather see something else (such as a KFC) over more of what we already have.

No-one mentioned the virtues of another petrol station.

Why doesn’t the council do what we want?

A lot of commentary focused on the perception that the council had made a decision without asking locals what they want.

“These Muppets are all clearly out of touch with what the community want!!” is just one example.

The council had economic experts look at the evidence presented by Coles. They disagreed with the Coles consultant and found that, at the moment, the economics don’t stack up to support a full-line supermarket without causing a harmful impact on the existing supermarket stores.

On the matter of asking locals what they want, the council actually did as part of the development process.

Council reported that during the public submission phase, 50 people made voiced opinions through the official channel, with 41 opposing the developments and only nine in support.

As well, the current planning scheme was drafted and advertised in 2014, and concerned locals had their chance to raise objections and call for changes at that time.

The planning scheme is about to be rewritten again. Very soon you will again be able to have your say on the future of Beerwah. If you want that particular area to become a separate commercial zone away from the heart of Beerwah, then this will be the perfect time to put your hand up, get involved and have your say.

What about the jobs?

A consistent comment was that the proposal would bring jobs to the area.

This is true. Coles estimated that there would be about 180 jobs created,

although no estimation was given to the number of jobs lost from other businesses due to the lost trade (like takeaways shops, restaurants, petrol stations and the other existing supermarkets). Nor was there an estimate of the number of businesses (most likely small to medium family-owned enterprises) that would not be able to establish on the lost industrial land, as well as the number of local jobs never created.

Woolworths carpark a nightmare A large number of comments related to the difficulties of parking at the Beerwah Village and Marketplace shopping centre.

Many people commented in favour of Coles because they thought that it would reduce the parking pressure around Woolworths.

This is a valid comment about that carpark. It is tight and you need to keep your wits about you. The council has approved an expansion to the Beerwah shopping centre that will see an extra 118 car parks built. This should go some way to helping.

There’s nowhere else for Coles to go

This is an argument Coles put forward to justify it building on the industrial land.

It said that there was nowhere available that was large enough to locate the homemaker centre.

This may be true as there isn’t a 13ha site anywhere in the right zoning areas where a homemaker centre could be built.

However, with a 3,700m2 Coles supermarket that isn’t strictly the case.

There are commercial properties in the centre of Beerwah that Coles could purchase and redevelop just like Aldi did.

The same could be said for the centre of Landsborough.

A 3,000m2 plus of new floorspace has been approved in the Beerwah Village and Marketplace centre. Also, the whole shopping centre was on the market a few years ago. Maybe Coles could make an offer to purchase that site and build a homemaker centre there.

There is a 3ha (that’s 30,000m2) block of land available in Glass House Mountains

said

IT

town centre that was approved in 2012 to build a large shopping centre.

So, if Coles want to build a Coles, it can and the council isn’t stopping it – it just needs to do it in the right place.

Comment from Joan Tucker, long-term local businesswoman The unanimous decision of the councillors to support the planning officers’ recommendation that Coles development applications be refused is good news for Beerwah and the hinterland townships.

Small businesses in the Glasshouse Country region can now make plans going forward, without the uncertainty that has prevailed since the announcement of this proposal in late 2019.

Back in time, the establishment of Woolworths saw businesses relocate to the centre and others close, but the timing was right for such development, which paved the way for retail growth in all the hinterland townships. There is ample space for a Coles supermarket within the existing town zoning, where businesses complement each other.

With the upcoming opening of the Bells Creek connection to Roys Road there will be potential for more day-trippers to visit the hinterland to experience what this region has to offer, from museums to dog parks and everything in between. From Beerburrum to Mooloolah this region is spoiled for choice with dine-in and takeaway outlets, all popular with tourists.

The approval of extra retail space adjoining Beerwah Marketplace and the approval of some small in-fill residential developments within the region, will ensure the viability of our townships going forward – steady and sustained growth within the town centres.

Comment from Coles “We believe Coles’ investment in a new development, which includes a supermarket, homemaker centre, petrol station and fast food restaurant, would deliver significant benefits to the local community by creating jobs and a new exciting shopping experience for residents. We are now reviewing our options following council’s decision.”

Comment from Rick Baberowski, Division 1 councillor

I READ and listened closely to many arguments on these three concurrent applications over some time now and, ultimately, I had to conclude that they would have done more harm than good to our community.

Let’s look at the overall aim of these applications: to establish a major shopping complex well outside of the existing centre of Beerwah.

This new centre would have had poor access to the CBD at an already busy intersection, poor public transport and pedestrian access, and 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.

Even worse in my view, the application to vary the planning scheme would have further fragmented the existing centre in Beerwah. Just over a decade ago our town went through a major crisis when the rail overpass cut the town centre in two and I was elected during the difficult times that followed. I just didn’t see the sense in repeating that history by introducing yet another separate centre.

I know that the community is divided on this and the main two reasons I’ve heard for people wanting the development are jobs and convenience.

I know that some residents were excited about the prospect of the jobs that would come with the developments and I fully understand the importance of that.

That’s why I closely read the officers’ report, the independent economic assessment and listened to both existing

In my view, the evidence clearly indicated that this proposal would mostly just move jobs from one location in Beerwah to another. I don’t think that’s necessary or fair on the existing businesses that have been making a go of it during tough times.

I acknowledge that Beerwah is ready for a new popular fast food restaurant.

However, there is plenty of land suitable for fast food outlets in the existing planning scheme. They may just need to consider locating near existing local businesses rather than setting up in a new location that would draw people away.

As for much larger homemaker centres, the council report noted that the Caloundra South town centre (Aura) has 60,000m2 of capacity already permitted and will be highly accessible to Glasshouse Country townships once the Bells Creek arterial road is completed, which is due next year.

It’s also anticipated that the planned Beerwah East development area will provide even more opportunities for all sorts of big brand offerings with even shorter travel times.

So, in the near future, our distinctive townships will get all the additional convenience of these new major centres along with growing potential patronage coming from well-connected neighbouring populations; all while not needing to radically change or lose our country town look, form and function.

And having listened to our communities for many years, attractive, sustainable country towns and not over urbanising is what our communities want!

THIS year’s gala Glassies event was a great night of glitz and glamour at Beerwah’s Hideaway Weddings.

Member for Glass House Andrew Powell and his team, along with the Hideaway staff, put together an impressive event with all the COVID safe rules in place.

Congratulations to all the businesses who were nominated and applause to the winners. For the full story see page 9.

Ostinato

LIVING with Dr Michael Whiticker

OSTINATO may be a word little known to you but as a music listener you hear ostinati all the time. It could be in the form of a phrase or motif (eg, a guitar riff or a bass line) played repeatedly, or a chord progression heard over and over.

An ostinato is a musical pattern repeated throughout a composition. You’ll hear it today in jazz, blues, rock, in fact in nearly all music. The interest is created in the music by the response to that ostinato in the other musical parts. There you’ll find lyrics sung and solos taken and whole arrangements built around an ostinato.

Its use goes right back to music’s beginning, as the repetition and variation of an idea is the basis of almost all music making as we know it. In the medieval, renaissance, baroque and early classical musical periods the ostinato was in full bloom. You might have heard it in the form of a passacaglia, a canon or a round from that time. For example, the famous pieces ‘Pachelbel’s Canon’ and ‘Sumer is icumen in’, are built on an ostinato.

Baroque composers such as Bach extended its use, creating lengthy compositions based around a theme or fugue – a sequence of notes that is repeated, imitated and developed. With the classical and romantic music periods beginning in the late 1700s, its use faded somewhat but repetition of some form has always been present in music.

The ostinato came back into favour in the 1960s with a style of music called minimalism. With composers Philip Glass and Steve Reich at its forefront, minimalism took an ostinato, often in the form of a very simple chord progression, and developed it excessively.

Over time the music could become quite hypnotic or trancelike. Check it out if you don’t know it.

The conductor, director and viol player Jordi Savall released two albums 20 years ago that take us back to probably the most fertile period of music making for the ostinato – 1500-1700. You can hear these albums on Spotify and probably other streaming services. The first of them was ‘La Folia’ and, based on its success, Savall released ‘Ostinato’. It is an anthology of the most representative works of the art of improvisation from that period based on simple ostinato.

It is incredibly refreshing to hear this music played so virtuosically and on instruments of that period. Right from the opening track, which begins with a frame drum of some sort playing a rhythmic ostinato, I think of Arabic music and remind myself of the influence of that music as it moved into Europe through Portugal and Spain. But it is the viol (the early version of the violin) along with the harpsichord and basso continuo and the occasional percussion that gives us the flavour of this album.

It really is uplifting music. If you don’t know it I thoroughly recommend you have a listen. It is sure to add a bounce to your day.

FOOD

With Lea Parkes

Maleny Cheese - what a range!

IF you love cheese, you really can’t go past the award-winning, locally produced range from Maleny Cheese.

Recently launching its fresh new packaging, these impressively moreish cheeses provide a real taste of our hinterland region. Maleny Cheese crafts a boutique range that is surprisingly comprehensive and packs a solid punch for a small locally owned factory.

With three different yet equally tasty types of cheese on offer, this range can satisfy any palate and provide the perfect option for your cheeseboard, picnic hamper, nibbles and wine night or, frankly, any event or gathering because, as all cheese lovers know, any occasion is the perfect excuse to enjoy good cheese.

The gourmet range includes delicious club cheddar, white mould and fetastyle cheeses made with local cows’ milk and buffalo milk. Handmade with local ingredients using master European cheesemaking techniques, these products taste great and will seriously delight with their quality and lingering flavour.

The artisan Maleny club cheddar range consists of six varieties of

premium quality three-year aged cheddars. All worked by hand using natural ingredients, these quality club cheddars have a soft, smooth, melt-inyour-mouth texture. All their cheddars are dip-sealed in food-grade wax that not only protects and preserves the cheese but, when sliced into discs, make an eye-catching addition to any cheese platter.

The Maleny feta cheese range consists of four varieties of feta-style cheese including the Bald Knob farmhouse, Swiss-style feta, plain feta and varieties with aromatic herbs and Mediterranean flavours. The feta-style range is characterised by a firm, crumbly texture with a salty bite.

Using hinterland milk and cream, the white mould cheese range of soft cheese comes in three varieties – camembert, creamy brie and triple cream brie, named to differentiate the cream content. Each soft cheese is aged for around five weeks before being hand wrapped and ready for the shelf.

Delicious at room temperature or served warm as baked brie straight out of the oven, you can enjoy this range at home or pop into the Maleny Cheese

Café to sample delicious menu items from the extended range.

Maleny cheeses are available to purchase from independent local retailers, online or directly from the Maleny Cheese Factory.

ELECTED $1,000 for year 12 students

FOR many school leavers it is often necessary to travel, or move, to major centres to access further education after leaving year 12. In recognition of this need, and to support students furthering their qualifications after completing year 12 through university, trades or TAFE, I have developed a bursary for year 12 school leavers – the Joyce Newton OAM Memorial Bursary – in honour of my good friend and community advocate, Joyce Newton.

Joyce sadly passed away in 2018 from motor neurone disease. This bursary is designed to provide financial assistance to help school leavers with the costs associated with moving to their place of learning and the purchase of books, IT, trade tools and/or other necessary requirements.

The bursary is a $1,000 gift voucher to their choice of Concept IT or Mitre 10. The winning applicant and their immediate family will also be invited to dinner at Queensland Parliament House with me and Joyce’s daughter Jennifer Tunley.

To apply, send your answers to the following questions to glass.house@ parliament.qld.gov.au before August 27: • Your name, address, best contact phone number, school you attend • Achievements at school (academic, community, sporting and other)

representatives

State government stimulus funding for Beerwah and Landsborough projects

with Andrew Powell State Member for Glass House

• The study you wish to undertake in 2022 and where this study is based • Why you want to undertake this study • How a bursary will assist you to undertake this study • What did Joyce Newton do/contribute to her community Applicants must be a resident of the Glass House electorate but can be attending a school outside the electorate. Five applications will be shortlisted and these applicants must be available for a panel interview at my electorate office (in Maleny) or via Zoom.

Matthew Flinders commemoration

I recently met with Senator James McGrath, Cr Rick Baberowski and local legends Roger Reilly, Ron Gillinder and Judy Tomlinson to continue to progress plans for a more appropriate local commemoration for Matthew Flinders and Bungaree at or near Beerburrum.

We want to see new, better recognition built potentially at the existing site at the Beerburrum trailhead or at the Glass House Mountains Visitor Information Centre. Do you have any suggestions?

Let me know!

CONTINUING the Landsborough streetscape project and upgrading Turner Park at Beerwah are now secured thanks to funding through the Queensland Government’s $100 million South East Queensland Community Stimulus Program.

Both projects are part of a $9.03 million funding injection to kickstart 16 projects worth more than $22 million across the Sunshine Coast to improve parks, streetscapes and sporting facilities, provide new playgrounds and generate local jobs sooner than planned.

Beerwah’s Turner Park upgrades include improved pathways and landscaping as well as recreational infrastructure and space.

In Landsborough, improvements are planned for the park side of Cribb Street. These works will continue to deliver a streetscape designed with community feedback, featuring seating, shelters and arbours, as well as lighting and landscaping, all to create a stronger destination with improved amenity and more street activation.

Bring on Brisbane 2032

I enthusiastically join the rest of council in celebrating the International Olympic Committee’s announcement that Brisbane has secured the rights to host the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

It will be exciting to see the Sunshine Coast play an integral role in Brisbane 2032, particularly as home to four key venues and several sporting events, including football, basketball, marathon, mountain biking, cycling and kiteboarding.

I am beyond proud to be part of the region that will host these future games. I look forward to seeing our community come together and support both the organising of the games and the athletes, many of whom are still just dreaming of becoming a future Olympian!

HEALTH COVID-19 vaccinations

VACCINATION is our best defence and our only way out of this COVID-19 pandemic on the Sunshine Coast. The more people who get vaccinated, the sooner we will get back to normal life.

There have been some wild stories flying around about COVID-19 vaccinations in recent months. If you want the truth about the safety and effectiveness of taking COVID-19 vaccines, whether the process has been rushed and much more, visit www.health.gov.au and search for ‘is it true?’.

I have already had my first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine and I am already booked in and ready to go for my second. I know that there are small risks involved in taking any medication.

However, there are also significant risks to health involved in contracting COVID-19 when unvaccinated.

Both the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines have undergone rigorous safety and efficacy testing, and both have been approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for adults over 18 following their usual thorough assessment process.

So, I chose to get vaccinated for my own health, for my family’s wellbeing and to help protect our community.

with Andrew Wallace Federal Member for Fisher

I would encourage you to do the same by going to the health.gov.au website and registering now.

I know that many in our community have been frustrated at the speed of the vaccine rollout. However, it is important for hinterland residents to know that after some initial supply problems, today the rollout is speeding up fast.

As of July 26, the most recent available data as I write, 11,211,447 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in Australia. More than three-quarters of our over 70s are protected, and more than 60 per cent of over 50s have received a first dose. In total, well over one-third of the eligible population are now protected and the most recent million doses took just six days to administer. To go even faster, we need more hinterland residents to get registered.

So please, if you haven’t already, visit www.health.gov.au today, register to receive a vaccine and help the Sunshine Coast hinterland onto the path out of this COVID pandemic.

WELLBEING

Calling hairdressers, barbers, beauty and massage therapists HAVE you ever wondered how you can help clients who disclose they are victims of domestic violence? Or how you could identify and help a client who is later abused by their partner or family?

Help is at hand.

Sunshine Coast Council has funded the Speak Up Now - Stop Domestic and Family Violence group in Maleny and the Blackall Range to train hairdressers, barbers and beauty and massage therapists to assist these clients.

The training consists of several short online modules that can fit around other commitments and take less than 50 minutes to complete.

The training has been written

by Hairdressers with Hearts, an organisation based on Bribie Island that has gained international recognition for its training. Participants who complete the training will receive Hairdressers with Hearts accreditation and resources for their salon/business and referral information for clients.

Hairdressers, barbers and beauty and massage therapists are uniquely placed as they spend one-on-one time with clients and are often the only place where domestic violence victims can be on their own, without a controlling partner.

They are ideally placed to identify signs of abuse and point clients in the right direction to get help.

Given the significant number of women in Australia who report domestic abuse at some stage during their lives, and that nearly all of them visit hairdressers and beauty and massage therapists, all these professionals are seeing domestic violence victims on a regular basis, whether they realise it or not.

Men can also be victims of domestic and family violence, so the training includes a module specifically for barbers.

Locals working in these industries are encouraged to sign up for this free training and clients can contact speakupnowstopdomesticviolence@ gmail.com The Speak Up Now group is a collaboration between the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre, the Rotary Club of Maleny and Zonta Blackall Range. The aim is to reduce the number of domestic and family violence incidents within the community by raising awareness of what individuals can do to help children, women and men to live a life free of violence and abuse. www.facebook.com/SpeakUpNowEnd FamilyViolenceMalenyandBlackallRange

LOCAL lad Hayden Campbell celebrated the grand opening of Urban Outdoor Power Equipment in North Lakes on Saturday, July 31. The store, located near Bunnings, Costco and Total Tools, is in an industrial hub at North Lakes.

Hayden still lives in Landsborough and has lived in the Sunshine Coast hinterland his whole life. He was an apprentice with Beerwah Small Engines and his parents owned Campbell’s Upholstery during his younger years.

Hayden said he was excited about the challenge ahead.

“We’ve got big plans to expand into another two to three shops in the coming five years so there’s some big opportunities to look forward to,” he said.

IN THE

With Brownie

No excuse to trash your green waste now WE all know how magical compost is as a soil additive and that we all should be composting our own green waste and putting it back in our gardens.

I’ve got two household organic compost bins that all the food scraps and vege garden offcuts go into.

I’ve just built two large bulky green waster bays for composting all the general garden waste as well as manures, cardboard and newspaper.

Sometimes we just don’t seem to have the space or the time to do it right and it’s easier to just put those grass clippings or leaves into the rubbish wheelie bin.

However, pretty soon Sunshine Coast Council is going to make it easier – and cheaper – to do the right thing with your garden green waste.

The council has always had green waste wheelie bins that you can order and pay a yearly fee to get collected. It never really cost that much but you have to apply to have the bin at your house.

After a bit of community consultation that indicated about three-quarters of people surveyed were in favour, the council decided to change the system so that instead of the opt-in green waste bin every residence will get one. It’s an opt-out system if you really don’t need it.

Currently, the opt-in green waste service costs just over $62 a year. The new opt-out service will be just over $34 a year – so cheaper and it will save you money if you have been taking green waste to the tip (currently costing $17.50 for a trailer or ute load).

The service won’t start until July 2022 and will be a fortnightly roadside collection on the opposite week to your recycling bin.

The benefits of this new green waste bin service include: • It is an easy and convenient way to dispose of your lawn clippings, weeds and other garden waste.

• The expanded service will reduce the amount of organic waste that goes into your general waste bins.

• If you currently take garden waste to the resource recovery facilities, you may no longer need to make those trips, saving you money and time.

The collected green waste gets shredded and composted at transfer stations and goes back into the community as garden mulch.

This is part of the council’s waste minimisation strategy, which aims to divert 55 per cent of household waste from landfill by 2025.

After this, the council wants to transition to a food organics and garden organics (FOGO) bin service.

FOGO is a successful organic waste collection service in many parts of Australia. More than 100 local governments already use FOGO. It allows you to put almost all kitchen and household organics into the green waste bin … not just garden waste.

It handles all food scraps including raw or cooked bones, egg shells, citrus, dairy products, rice, pasta, coffee grounds, tea bags, unfinished meals, out-ofdate food removed from packaging, plus tissues, paper, pizza boxes, compostable packaging, pet waste and more.

The secret is the special composting process that is used to deal with all this organic waste.

When up and running, the FOGO system will take all your kitchen organic waste

This is something the council will have to work on, setting up a local FOGO processing facility, so it may be a few years away yet.

THANKS to Suella and John Lanceley for inviting us to their interesting garden for our July meeting. It is very enjoyable having meetings in members’ gardens, out in the fresh air.

Judy Banks showed off and explained how to use a worm bucket. Hers was made from a plant pot, about 20cm, with a few large holes drilled into the sides. Just bung it into a garden bed, fill with food scraps, cover and let the worms do the rest.

Our orchid expert, John Innes, advised Suella on the best way to improve a few of her ailing orchids.

The competition bench is always interesting with unusual plants often being shown. Results of the competition bench from May were a tie, with first going to Pam Innes and Suella Lanceley on 20 points and second to Judy Banks on 11 points.

We enjoyed strolling around the garden admiring and seeing the changes made since our last visit.

Our next meeting will be on Thursday, August 19, with a 9.30am start, in Clara Graham’s garden. Flower of the month is an annual. Please bring along a mug, chair and small plate to share for morning tea. Visitors always welcome. For more information and address phone 5496 9169.

If like me you’re a fan of sharing your garden with native fauna, then here’s a few suggestions on providing habitat for our native animals.

The bulk of plants used in mainstream native gardens are cultivar Grevilleas, Banksias and Bottle Brushes. These are all amazing flowering plants that add colour, variety and are great nectar sources, but if they are the dominant plants in your native garden, then aggressive birds such as Rainbow Lorikeets and the Common (or Noisy) Myna will often dominate to the exclusion of more timid birds. My tip here is to add different layers to your planting such as local native groundcovers and grasses; a diversity of local shrubs and trees; and bushier planting that give the smaller or timid birds somewhere to hide.

Traditional responses to insect attacks in your garden is to spray an array of chemicals - however, the vast majority of our native birds either will eat insects if the opportunity arises or live wholly on insects.

These insects although appearing a nuisance to us are crucial food for many of our feathered fauna. Learning to share your garden with our native fauna has many rewards, so join us in Going Wild in Your Garden.

Talking Trades with GBC Homes THINKING about building your first home? What about renovating an existing property? With more than 35 years’ experience servicing the Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay regions, it’ll be tough to go past GBC Homes.

For more than three decades, John and Liana Howarth have been helping families build and develop their own dream homes, offering house and land packages and new builds on pre-acquired land.

From new homes and extensions to small, medium and large renovations, the team at GBC Homes is well versed in delivering a final product that suits the needs and budget of any client.

John said construction was currently under way on a new home in Aspect Glasshouse with more scheduled to be completed next year. He is particularly keen to start working on smaller projects in between these builds such as kitchen and bathroom revamps and is adamant no job is too small.

“We’re always interested in whatever comes our way, assuming clients have a realistic budget,” he said.

No matter what the job is, John and Liana maintain that there’s no better feeling than seeing their clients’ faces when the finished product is revealed.

FINGERS crossed the club tournament will be on Sunday, August 8 with courts open at 8am for warm up, instructions at 8.45am and first serves at 9am. Good luck to all competitors.

Wednesday July 21: Witta Wagtails were victorious against the Maroochydore TT’s. Much laughter as the ball had a mind of its own on a very challenging windy day. Well done, Cheryl Cavanagh, Sonia Douglas, Cynthia Garvie and Jan Maguire.

Friday July 23: The Whistlers had the bye.

Sunday 25 July: Gympie travelled down to play the Wikings on a wild and windy afternoon. While it was a great day of tennis with lots of tie-breaks and close sets, Gympie got the win 10 sets to 2. Thanks to Yanni for standing in. Wikings team was, Glenno Smith, Yanni Stefanidakis, Mal Wright, Andrew Moser, Stacey English and Pauline Fraley.

Unfortunately, the windy conditions didn’t help the Wompoos cause this weekend. Thanks to the Nambour team who played exceptionally well and gave us some great tennis on the day.

They were far too good winning 11 sets to 1, 77 games to 29.

Haydyn Craven was called back to New Zealand, he wasn’t too keen to be caught this side of the ditch without the rest of the family, we wish he and his family well. Thanks to Craig Instone from Nambas club who stepped in admirably for him at the last minute.

John Poole and Annie Quarmby played well to win a good mixed doubles match, however there were also a few tiebreak sets that could have gone either way. The Wompoos next vets match is against the Witta Wikings at Witta on August 15, here’s hoping for less wind towards the end of August.

Wednesday July 28: Maroochydore Missiles were firing on all cylinders leaving the Witta Wagtails in their wake.

No significant scores to write home about, let’s just say we will recharge the batteries for next week. Thanks to Cheryl Cavanagh, Sonia Douglas, Cynthia Garvie and Jan Maguire for managing to take a few games from the Missiles.

Friday July 30: Whistlers played at Maroochydore against Meteors. It was a beautiful day and everyone enjoyed playing in the sun and no wind. The tennis was very good also, with lots of rallies and everyone fought hard for every point. We didn’t win many games, but it was great match. Score was 23 - 43 games, 1 - 7 sets. The team was Brenda Warner, Maree Hooley, Aki Lepper and Annie Quarmby.

Contributed by Ken Barker CLUB championships have been decided and bragging rights for 2021 go to Janelle Wilson in fourth division with Lynette Evans runner-up and Kath Smith third ahead of Miggy Mackey. Second division was taken by Sarah Widin with Nick Cram runner-up and the open was won by Donna Manning with Nick the bridesmaid again.

Well done to all players for the friendly, entertaining and competitive nature in which the games were conducted. A case in point was the final game of the second division when Nick played Val Carbery on Tuesday, July 27.

As this was a dead rubber, they could have elected not to play but they did “for the fun of it”. It was a great game.

Val made a six break to begin but Nick fought back. A turning point came when Nick made a two ball four break from hoop 2 – no easy task – to draw level.

The final result, 19-16 to Nick, was in doubt even after the bell.

On Thursday, July 22 Vince Carbery lost to Val 5-10, and Sarah played well against Ken Barker to win 16-14. The two Helens – Uhlmann and Andrews – lost a tight game to Bev Sockhill and Lynette 4-5. Wallace Roy scored 8 hoops against Kath’s 14.

On Friday, July 23 the postponed Lochwood game against Nambour was played. Nick, Sarah and Ken played for Maleny against Bill Habner and Theo Kleiberg from Nambour. Sarah lost to Bill 12-21; Ken beat Theo 20-10; while Sarah and Nick lost 11-19 in the doubles. Nambour won the rubber 2-1.

A windy Sunday, July 25 saw Stuart Craig and Kath draw an entertaining game with Val 7 all. Wallace showed good form and made a sartorial statement in his victory over Janelle

sport 17-9. Wallace’s outfit can be seen in the attached photograph where he also shows off the shade sail kindly made by Maleny Motor Trimmers and purchased with funds from the community benefits club of the IGA. On lawn two, Vince and Sarah locked horns in the first game of the battle for second division honours in the club.

Sarah won the encounter, 25-11, missing a peg-out by less than a centimetre.

Play days are Thursdays and Sundays at 2pm for 2.30pm. Contact Sarah Widin for other days. Coaching is available on Saturdays at 8am.

News is you’re popular Leo and there’s no harm in saying so. It can only add to the confidence you already have.

Your charm can disarm almost anyone, so if you’re keen to push your luck this week gives you the chance of winning almost anyone over. And with much of the cosmos on side, extravagance is likely.

This week gives Virgos plenty to think about but there could be areas where the planets encourage an overhaul. For instance, a quick look at recent spending probably reveals a history of debt. There may also be some dubious financial deals on offer, and you – more than most – know that there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

A lagging cosmos has doused your enthusiasm for some time now and you’ve felt held back. So consider it perfect timing when this week offers to unleash restrained ambitions and talents. Financially, your bank balance should start to be replenished.

Watch, too, for an opportunity to make the most of work contacts.

Given your amazing capacity to learn quickly, this week should suit you well. The planets promote an atmosphere of open chat and communication, enabling you to share your thoughts and opinions. At the same time, you’re encouraged to discard worn out attitudes and embrace all that’s new. Don’t shy away from the unexpected.

You’re the envy of many this week as most things seem to fall into place – mostly because you’re sensible enough to avoid the war zone that seems to be besieging most of the zodiac. Keep clear of the frontline but be prepared to take in casualties. They’ll return the favour when you need it most.

One of life’s certainties is that not all minds agree. What’s more, not everyone has a squeaky-clean conscience. This week could see devious activity behind the scenes when someone tries to force you to their point of view. Stand your ground Capricorn. You must show that you can stand alone.

If searching for something nice to say, you’re probably lost for conversation right now. Blame it on a mischievous cosmos, tetchy hormones or any other meddling factors you can think of. Aquarians are on a short fuse right now and you’re as philosophical as a drawn dagger. Give others fair warning.

This week finds you focusing on health. With the Sun travelling through your fitness sector, it’s time to stop burning the candle at both ends. Address any health issues that you have ignored for too long and concentrate on improving diet and exercise regimens. Treat your body like a temple Pisces – not a trash can.

Short-term projects catch your interest. You’re focused but with only limited patience, which could lead to some frustrating moments. Don’t be in such a rush Aries. Give dreams enough busy hours to become a reality. In matters of the heart, singles could literally bump into someone from the past. Couples reignite the spark.

Someone’s being impatient this week because they want everything done in double time, so woe betide you if you have a few slow days or you disagree with them.

It could easily become a week of silly spats and squabbles – mostly about nothing. Very inconsiderate of others when they know how much you have on your plate already.

As ever, you’re sharp as a tack Gemini, so here’s another week when little sneaks past you. However, this kind of awareness can be a bane as well as a blessing.

When constantly on full alert, you rarely get a chance to relax. Try to occasionally slow the pace and take time out for some plain old fun.

You might even enjoy it.

Loved ones or family seem to have unruly spending habits at the moment.

Patiently explain to them the income-versusexpenditure formula. Unless you want to be paying off someone else’s bills for the next few months confiscate all lines of credit.

There may be tantrums but they will be grateful soon enough.

Laid-back planets have forced a slower approach in recent times but this snail-like pace is beginning to test even the most patient Leos. You’ve been encouraged to hold steady for a while now, so who can blame you for revving up the gears and speeding ahead? It’s been way too long since you’ve felt the wind in your hair.

The ever-so-practical Virgo is usually resistant to change. Happily, this week if anyone’s venturing out in search of excitement it’s you. Trouble is, few seem daring enough to share your dreams.

Perhaps they’ve been witness to your less adventurous side in the past. Get passionate and show others how bold you really can be.

Never doubt your own worth Libra. Always know that confidence is a state of mind. If you can appear positive then others will think the same way about you.

Try to think outside of your insecurities and ignore those voices that want to put you down. If all else fails, fake it until you make it. You’ll be amazed at the outcome.

While the week may start on a sour note, this means that life can only grow sweeter. Sure, some plans could be cancelled or delayed. And, okay, you might be feeling a tad tetchy but each new day carries fresh hope and optimism. New sources of income materialise, perhaps via a loan or promotion.

With fiery Mars in your sector of ambition, work may bring unexpected surprises. Perhaps you’re forced to step up the ladder of command, which could elevate you beyond your comfort zone. Or you could find yourself at odds with a boss or colleague. Not to worry – sometimes a little extra pressure can be a good thing.

The planets put forward strong arguments for adventure this week. The result is a more rebellious Capricorn than we’ve seen for a while. There’s also enough planetary excitement to ensure a romantic detour too. Perhaps you’ll be mixing a little business with lots of pleasure. Singles stand a good chance of meeting someone significant.

This week presents Aquarians with a challenge but the issues surrounding it may be a tad cloudy so you don’t see the whole picture. Don’t fret. This delay will actually work in your favour. In slowing down the decision making, impetuous mistakes will be avoided. In the same way, find out the facts before you act.

Pisceans love to be loved. Not just in the tango-for-two sense but in an all-encompassing way. Your idea of bliss is a group hug that encircles this precious planet of ours. This week, you do get to bond with others, though on a more modest scale. Take some time for rest too. Some of the cosmos is lazing back – and so should you.

This is a week to read all the fine print and carefully file important documents so they aren’t lost. Back up all crucial paperwork. Daily routines may cause you to become stressed or agitated, resulting in sleepless nights. Tempers could flare. Avoid letting any aggression to turn into overkill.

It’s better to tame the beast within.

Mars stirs up unexpected friction in your closest relationships. Coupled Taureans find themselves making both love and war as your usual rock-solid partner or friend could suddenly get under your skin. Singles, though, will enjoy having friends around – even those who make demands. If extra cash comes your way, enjoy.

Work has seemed more like a war zone recently and you’re tired of petty politics. What’s more, you’re angry. This week encourages restraint. That’s not to say that you should let others take you for granted – just don’t let them hijack your hard work by losing your temper. Stay calm and you’ll be the one reaping the rewards.

A joint venture with a financially savvy partner could prove rewarding, although a clear understanding of each other’s role is a must. Avoid get-rich-quick schemes and fast talkers The road to riches is not built overnight Cancer. Take your time, work steadily and you’ll soon be sauntering down that richly-paved yellow brick road.

JUST FOR LAUGHS The throne king He took it home and sat on it during the day and stowed it in the grass attic at night.

This was fine for a few months until a cyclone came and blew the grass hut down.

Sadly, opportunistic tribespeople came and stole all the precious stones and ran away.

The moral of this story: People in grass houses shouldn’t stow thrones.

A TRIBAL chief was upset one day because all the other chiefs of the nation had thrones to sit on and he didn’t.

So, he went to an auction to buy a throne and found the perfect one.

When he went to pay for it the auctioneer said: “No chief, you don’t want this one because if you leave it someone will steal all the valuable jewels off it.”

The chief said: “No worries. I will build a grass attic above my grass hut and stow the throne when I am not using it.”
