O

ne of the challenges each week when we put the paper together is working out what story should go on the front cover – it isn’t always our biggest story but quite often we use a local event and then we choose the best photo that we have.

So when the organisers of Sculpture on the Edge sent through a few photos this week while the sculptures were being installed, we knew we couldn’t go past the one we have used of Maleny artist Jane Nichol’s work for the cover.

The event is organised by Arts Connect, who really appreciate the support from the management of Spicers Tamarind, who allow the works to be displayed in their grounds from Friday when the official opening will be declared.

Seeing all of the sculptures displayed within the grounds is wonderful, with such an eclectic mix of works, it is fascinating to see contrasting images displayed together.

After the opening on Friday night, we will include more of the works featured in the event, in particular those pieces from local artists.

Regards,

Planning scheme gets a makeover Sunshine Coast Council will undertake community consultation on proposed amendments to its planning scheme.

Despite the largest and most consulted planning activity ever undertaken by the council, they now consider that aspects of the 2014 Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme are out-of-date and need to be revised.

Two main aspects of the plan proposed for major changes are the Maroochydore Principle Regional Activity Centre (or the new Maroochydore town centre lands) and lands to the west of Twin Waters, where Stockland are proposing a major residential development on flood prone agricultural lands.

The council is also proposing to amend its planning scheme relating to a number of other land parcels some of which are located within the GC&M News readership footprint.

These amendments relate to changes to zoning and overlays on specific land parcels to better reflect the existing or desired future use of the land.

Specifically, these include: • 125 Chinaman Creek Road, Cambroon – Council land purchased for conservation purposes, to be rezoned from Rural to Environmental Management and Conservation

• 26 Warrunga Street (Lilyponds Holiday Park), and 85 Obi Obi Road, Mapleton (Mapleton Cabins and Caravan Park) – to be changed from Community Facilities (Tourist Park) to Low Density Residential • 7 Bryce Lane, Maleny – site of the Pioneer Village and leased by the Maleny Historical Society, to be changed from Rural to Community facilities (Community Use) zoning • 3, 5, 7 and 9 Peterlyn Court and 39A Newton Drive, Beerwah – these five houses adjoin Australia Zoo and are zoned Tourism, but are to be rezoned as Residential.

Planning Portfolio Councillor Christian Dickson said that full community consultation is required when a planning scheme amendment is proposed.

“The community now has an opportunity to make submissions and all feedback will be considered as required under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.”

The proposed planning scheme amendment can be viewed on council’s website at www. sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au or http://bit.ly/ PS14amendments, or in person at any Sunshine Coast Council office at Maroochydore, Nambour and Caloundra.

Submissions should be received no later than 4.30pm on Monday, November 7.

Small business owners

The trials of running a small business can be tough! When you’re the business manager, marketing person, sales department, book keeper …

AND doing the actual work that produces income, it’s no wonder many small business owners are shining a bit less bright than we’re meant to.

Discomfort, fatigue and brainfog are the norm, but are in no way normal! We often forget that we’re supposed to be vibrant, energetic and pain-free.

So how do we get back to our normal state of vibrant health?

First, we must correct the damage that has already occurred.

A thorough spine and nervous system examination will find any existing problems and develop a plan to restore your body to its normal alignment and state of good health.

Small business owners currently receive an initial consultation for only $39.00* to find out if spinal misalignments and nerve irritation are the underlying cause of your problems.

Then, we must learn how to stop recreating the same problems in the future. We’ll teach you how to minimise the main stressors that small business owners face … physical stressors like poor posture, prolonged computer use, repetitive stress and no time for exercise.

Your health, and the health of your business are interconnected.

Investing in your health is investing in your business.

If your personal health is on the decline due to the stresses of business, or if your business health is struggling because your personal health is not great, we’d be happy to help. Call Adjust to Life Chiropractic on 5494 0499. *Treatment is not included in $39.00 exam fee. If spinal problems are detected, standard adjustment fee is $50.00.

Major highway works explained Last Tuesday, an expectant crowd met with officials from the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR), eager to learn more about the recently announced plans for the Bruce Highway upgrade.

The meeting, organised by Mike Doroshenko from the Save Exit 190 lobby group, drew around 50 Palmview and Glenview locals to hear of the wins that the community have gained since the process commenced in 2010.

“It has been a long, hard road,” said Mr Doroshenko.

“And we were up against a lot of negativity. But we stayed strong and committed to what we believed was the right outcomes and we’ve won some major concessions.”

Aussie World Garage owner Steve Amos was equally relieved.

“Innovative thinking to find a way forward has allowed us to get to this point today,” he said.

“There is still a long road to travel, but common sense has prevailed and I’d like to thank the TMR for their change of approach more recently.”

Acting Regional Director for TMR (North Coast) Doug Wise described the upgrade to the Bruce Highway, Sippy Downs and Caloundra interchanges as the premier project for the south east region.

“The Caloundra interchange design is an innovation first for Australia,” he explained.

“In the US where the ‘diverging diamond’ design concept is more widely used, it has been very effective in the management of traffic movements and at reducing accident rates.”

New season Australian Asparagus $1.99 bunch MALENY HARVEST RETAIL & WHOLESALE is our speciality, free home deliveries available We use as much local produce as available

Blueberries $3.99 punnet

Mr Wise said that this stretch of the Bruce Highway now sees 63,000 vehicle movements per day and that in the 2010-13 period there were 121 accidents at the Caloundra interchange alone.

TMR Project Manager Mark Assang presented the details of the three distinct sections of the project – the Caloundra interchange, six-laning the Bruce Highway – including the construction of a western service road, and the Sippy Downs interchange.

“The combined works adds up to over 100km in new lanes constructed, 20 plus new bridges, over one million cubic metres of earthworks and 350,000 tonnes of asphalt,” he said.

“On top, the $929.3 million project will create 400 jobs for the construction, with 700 jobs overall.”

The benefits that Mr Assang outlined included the return to 110km per hour along the Bruce Highway, construction of a 250 lot carpooling facility on Pignata Road, the retention of two of the four Exit 190 off and on ramps, improved access to the Aussie World complex, significantly less impacts on the Beerwah State Forest, and a network of footpath and bike tracks through the area.

“To keep disruption to a minimum, the three sections will be constructed simultaneously using different crews. During this time, we will also be keeping lanes open on the Bruce Highway to ensure continual traffic flow,” said Mr Assang.

“The road surface to be used is an open grade asphalt which is one of the quietest surfaces available.

Reed Avocados 4 for $5 3kg bag Navel Oranges $3.99

“There will be noise abatement and noise barriers constructed when required, as well as strict environmental management controls in place.”

The detailed design phase will continue until about Easter 2017, when construction will commence.

“However, there will be some preparation works commencing immediately, including site clearing and geophysical drilling,” said Mr Assang.

“A works operations site will be constructed adjacent to the Road Tec depot, which will be moving to another locality as yet to be determined.

“All going well, the entire project should be completed in late 2020.”

In the meantime, Acting Regional Director Doug Wise outlines their plans for community information and consultation, including signage, further meetings, displays, their website and social media, e-news, media stories and a dedicated 1800 phone number (1800 749 022) and email address (brucehwtcr2sm@tmr.qld.gov.au)

Beerburrum to Nambour Rail Upgrade Project The Queensland Government is committed to the progressive priority upgrade of the North Coast Line to improve its safety, efficiency and reliability.

An important part of this upgrade is the Beerburrum to Nambour Rail Upgrade Project (B2N Project).

For the project to progress, a detailed business case is being developed to identify the benefits, the problems to be solved and the most appropriate way to achieve the desired outcomes. This will enable government to make an informed investment decision about the project.

Get involved Feedback received from consultation undertaken earlier this year has been considered by the B2N Project team during the development of the reference design.

The B2N Project team will hold more community information sessions in Landsborough and Glass House Mountains this month.

These sessions will allow residents and stakeholders to view the latest reference design, discuss the project, ask questions and provide feedback.

Session times and locations are: Landsborough Sports Complex 15 Tunnel Ridge Road, Landsborough Saturday 15 October: 10am–12.30pm Tuesday 18 October: 5.30pm–8pm Glass House Mountains Community Hall 8 Coonowrin Road, Glass House Mountains Wednesday 19 October: 5.30pm–8pm Community displays will also be available at key locations across the Sunshine Coast, including council offices and libraries.

Students win international law competition It was a fictitious legal battle billed as David versus Goliath – an instant noodle entrepreneur trying to negotiate a favourable commercial deal with a global food distributor known for aggressive tactics and big resources.

And the battle was won by two aspiring lawyers from the University of the Sunshine Coast, one of whom is a Maleny local David Knobel, along with fellow student Callum Lee, who represented the fictitious entrepreneur in the final scenario of an international law competition held this month in New Delhi, India.

The third-year USC Law students said their ‘shock upset’ in the final of the National Law University Delhi – Herbert Smith Freehills event delivered USC the trophy for International Negotiation Champions.

“We beat 28 teams from India, Australia, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Germany, South Africa and Pakistan – including the Australian National University in the final,” said David.

“The ANU team represented the multinational distributor and had us on the back foot early, but we knew the strength of our client’s brand in the open market and managed to get an agreement most favourable to them.”

David, who co-chairs the USC Student Representative Council, said funding from USC’s Faculty of Arts, Business and Law had enabled the team to travel to the invite-only event.

“We had the opportunity to meet students from different countries and enjoyed generous hospitality and true cultural immersion staying on campus at NLU-Delhi,” he said.

“Winning was an incredible achievement. The judges praised our negotiation strategy, style and commercial acumen.”

Police get new weapon to help keep rail network safe Queensland Rail has partnered with the Queensland Police Service to boost security on the rail network and enable remote access to 7000 rail station based CCTV cameras at Police Headquarters.

Minister for Transport, Stirling Hinchliffe and Police Minister Bill Byrne, welcomed the partnership and said it would give the Queensland Police Service access to Queensland Rail’s extensive CCTV network in real-time at the Police Communications Centre and improve responses to anti-social behaviour on the rail network.

"New remote CCTV access will enhance safety and security on our rail network, by providing vital real-time CCTV access for our Police to monitor and respond," Mr Byrne said.

"Police will now be able to log into station based cameras monitoring an incident on the

www.gcnews.com.au

rail network and coordinate their response appropriately, improving the current process of Queensland Rail security monitoring officers providing information verbally.

"It makes sense for Police to have instant access to the eyes and ears provided by Queensland Rail’s cameras and will ensure they are able to better respond to incidents.”

Annual Craft and Quilt Fair coming to town Australia’s number one craft and quilt fair is back for another year at the Brisbane Exhibition Centre, South Bank for five days of everything creative and crafty from Wednesday, October 5 through to Sunday, October 9. This highly anticipated event will offer a jam packed program featuring free demonstrations, guest artists, workshops and hands on activities. This hugely popular event also offers visitors a chance to view a stunning and diverse range of craft and quilt exhibitions and displays.

Local Hinterland crafter, Beverley Perel will be appearing at the event showcasing the Japanese art of Chiku Chiku. This oriental quilting technique uses recycled fabric and the work which looks like a darning/running stitch is all done meticulously by hand. The term Chiku Chiku is an onomatopoeic reference to the sound of the needle passing through the thread and requiring a high level of attention to detail; each individual artwork can take months to complete.

Bev has been interested in quilting as a hobby all her professional life, and readers may know her from her many years of owning a patchwork

and quilting shop in Maleny before selling the business a few years ago. It was through her business that Bev was first introduced to international fabrics and techniques.

“I find that quilting just energises women as it truly brings out their creativity. From selecting the fabric to choosing the design and creating the work is a wonderful process. It provides a terrific sense of achievement in creating these individual pieces and often beautifully reflects the personality of the person,” says Bev. Now Bev concentrates on her passion for Chiku Chiku and has travelled the world sourcing good teachers of this technique as she seeks to enthuse people about this particular type of Japanese craftwork. For the last nine years, Bev has attended the Tokyo International Quilt show in Japan where she met and became friends with world-renowned artisan Akiko Ike. Last year Bev invited Akiko to Australia to demonstrate her work and people were so excited that the event organisers behind the Craft and Quilt Fair asked her to invite Akiko to specially present her unique work at the Fair. Akiko will be hosting three sessions a day and demonstrating the technique. Along with her demonstration, Akiko will also be showcasing an exhibition of 60 Chiku Chiku pieces.

This year, the Craft & Quilt Fair invites visitors to ‘shop, learn, make and be inspired’ and is sure to appeal to both crafting enthusiasts and the general public alike. The event will feature a huge amount of work including the ‘Best of Australia’ winning quilt and the best of show 2015 from all states, as well as the Queensland Quilters’

By Sonia Clark

Akiko Ike with Beverly Perel annual exhibition. There will also be over 60 workshop sessions a day as well as discussions and demonstrations and the popular hands-on ‘make and take classes’ where visitors can learn from the experts. The sessions will cover a huge range of mediums from sewing to knitting, textile art, painting, paper craft and more.

Howzat! Facility improvements ‘across the line’ for national cricket championships Australia’s best under-17 male cricketers were the first to ‘test drive’ the recent improvements at council’s Landsborough Sports Complex and Elizabeth Daniels Sports Complex when they took to the field for the 2016 National Under-17 Championships.

Tourism, Sport and Major Events Portfolio Councillor Jason O’Pray said investment in infrastructure by council, Queensland Cricket and AFL Queensland at Elizabeth Daniels Sports Complex and Landsborough Sports Complex had been a real drawcard for attracting cricket events of a national calibre to the region.

“The improvements at Elizabeth Daniels Sports Complex will be of huge benefit to the players competing in the national under-17 titles as well as future events held here,” Cr O’Pray said.

“The installation of two permanent sightscreens on the Kerry Emery Oval is going to be strongly welcomed by batsmen looking to get the best possible vision of the ball leaving the bowler’s hand.

“Council and Cricket Australia announced a partnership earlier this month that will see the National Under-17 Championships played here over the next two years, as well as bringing the Brisbane Heat to the Sunshine Coast for a Big Bash pre-season camp and two practice matches against the Hobart Hurricanes in December.

“With these improvements now complete, following hot on the heels of recent upgrades at Caloundra Cricket Club and the announcement of Brisbane Heat games coming in December – the Coast is definitely the place to be if you’re a cricketer or cricket lover.”

Division 1 Councillor Rick Baberowski said the timing of the infrastructure improvements at Landsborough Sports Complex couldn’t have been any better with 10 teams from around Australia contesting the national championships.

“The improvements include a permanent sight screen and 170 metres of PVC fencing which fenced about one-third of the main oval, a portable sight screen and we’ve replaced the AFL goals on the main oval with removable goal posts,” Cr Baberowski said.

“The complex is a multi-use facility and also home to Glasshouse Hinterland AFC which means the goal posts can now be removed after each AFL season.

“The Landsborough Cricket Club is also about to embark on an upgrade to the lighting on the main oval thanks to the Community Gambling Benefit Fund.”

The first week of the championships was staged on the Sunshine Coast – at Maroochydore, Caloundra and Landsborough – with the second week of matches played in Brisbane.

The semi-finals will be played on October 5, with the final to be played at Allan Border Field in Brisbane on October 6. More details are available at www.nationalchamps.com.au.

Embracia in Woodford

Aged Care at its Best

We provide excellent, quality aged care for all levels of care, including both emergency and planned respite care & specialised dementia care.

Twelve months ago, I needed to find a full time nursing care facility for my 92-year-old mother. This was made more difficult, as she was to move from Sydney, leaving all she had ever known, to be able to go into care closer to me on the Sunshine Coast. My decision to move mum into Embracia, Woodford was easily made, having visited numerous other nursing homes in the Hinterland and Sunshine Coast area.

The transition for mum to Embracia has been a seamless one for her and truly a joy for me as her daughter. We were able to create a beautiful room for her, a new home for a new beginning. Her added delight is her balcony overlooking trees and with country vistas.

The general staff at Embracia and the very high standards of nursing staff have been outstanding to mum in every aspect of their support for her as well as her everyday care needs. The staff meets the needs of each individual resident with care, understanding, empathy, and friendship.

All with the aim to help residents feel that they are in fact in their own home and not just a care facility.

Residents can participate together in a variety of organised activities within the home and yet Embracia presents daily, as a calm, efficient and peaceful environment for the residents allowing mum to enjoy her daily reading and quieter activities. The day bus trips are always enjoyed.

Embracia has given mum the dignity and respect she truly deserves.

Now at 93, when I bring mum back from a day out, I open the door to her room and she quietly always says, “I’m home.”

Marilyn K, Maleny

Come in to see the Embracia difference – the comfort of home, with a little extra luxury and the quality care you need.

The Firie Femmes turned up slightly pensive but they conquered (along with a cast of thousands) and they survived, although a few participants were carted off by ambulance.

On September 24 Miss Muddy was staged at Doomben Race Course, the day was hot and glary in contrast to the course that was wet and muddy.

The five-kilometre obstacle course comprised of climbing, crawling, balancing, jumping and wading through icy water or backstroking through mud so thick it almost dislodged shoes and clothing. There were water bombs, paint bombs and foam bombs but best of all was sharing the fun with a group of like-minded women meeting physical challenges for charity.

The Firie Femmes from Glasshouse and Peachester Rural Fire Brigades emerged slightly bruised but intact, weighed down by mud and paint.

Already plans are underway for next year’s event and the Firie Femmes will be canvassing for a bigger team that is more representative of South East Queensland.

Exploring our timber heritage Compiled by Helen Page After early excursions by explorers like Leichhardt and the Petries into the range country, we now call the Sunshine Coast hinterland, it was the lure of cedar which brought the first wave of Europeans to our district.

Some came merely to cut and haul timber from the ranges, but others acquired timber licences, took up land, and moved their families onto these selections.

The Grigor men at Bankfoot House (established 1868 on the Gympie Road) were all involved in the timber industry. John Simpson at Coochin Creek cut timber at Peachester and operated horse and bullock teams from the Coochin Creek Hotel, with a sawmill from 1901, in Beerwah township.

James Page, one of the early Peachester pioneers, selected land on the Stanley River and his five sons were all teamsters, eventually taking up their own selections.

William Andrew Grigor established a sawmill on the Stanley River in 1900, at what was then known as the Peach Trees, and this became the nucleus of the first settlement.

The township and mill moved, but the Grigor connection continued, and a sawmill is still operated at Peachester by descendants of the family.

Some of the other names which figure prominently in the early timber industry in this area are Hume, Vieritz, Butler, Stevens, Shuttlewood, Stirling, Mawhinney, Burgess and Ferris.

As skill with an axe was an economic necessity for those involved in the industry, it also became the focus of leisure activities.

Wood chopping as a sport was a natural derivative, and has held its place in many parts of Australia as a popular modern sport. Our district has produced many champion axemen like Bob Breton, Les Tagg, George Parker and Nev Anning.

The sport still thrives in the Woodford / Mt Mee area, with young stars competing at local shows and the Exhibition – names like Youles, Winkle, Draper, Hewitt and Cochrane.

Community Supper first seed for Community at Mapleton A community supper will be held at the iconic Mapleton Hall on Wednesday, October 12. This will be the first supper scheduled as part of an ongoing monthly event designed to foster closer ties between residents of the Mapleton area.

The evening is being planned by a group calling themselves ‘the MH Folk’, who are working under the auspices of the Mapleton Hall Trust and the supper will include entertainment by local acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Lee Hardisty.

Comprised of volunteers, the group describe their intent as ‘building community and fostering a sense of togetherness’.

A spokesperson for the group, Mel, said that the push behind the efforts of the MH Folk is the desire to see community flourish.

“We are intending to convene a monthly market, and hold dances, suppers, and events that will bring some much-needed entertainment to the often under-provided for residents of the town,” she said. “And we are so excited to have the amazing Lee Hardisty coming to play at our very first supper.”

The MH Folk have identified a need in the area for more events catering to the younger generations, and those who are young at heart, who are increasingly calling Mapleton home.

“We are keen to welcome anyone on board who would like to get involved. After all, you don’t find community just laying on the footpath; you have to build it from the bottom up. That’s what we are about,” she said.

It is at the supper, that the MH Folk intend to lay out their vision, for a more fully inclusive community.

“The hall has been through a rough patch, but we are helping this beautiful little venue move

forward with the plan to regenerate relevance, as in days gone by, when the local hall was the focus of community,” Mel said.

“One of the most exciting ideas we are hatching is the concept of a community garden where families can get together and build a facility that will help their kids learn the fascinating art of gardening, as well as being a focus for community building.

“We want to hear from those who would like to take part in creating a space in Mapleton that is positive and community focused.”

To book for the community supper go to the website and select ‘Events > Community Supper’, or if you would like to find out more about the hall and its plans visit the website at www.mapletonhall.org or visit the Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/mapletonhall.

Good news for tennis club The Mooloolah Glenview Tennis Club has recently received two grants from the Sunshine Coast Council. We wish to acknowledge the ongoing support the council has given our club which enables us to run the club and maintain our sporting facility. The drinking fountain has been replaced which will be much appreciated in the coming months as summer arrives.

The old fountain was in need of repair and was over 20 years old. The other grant was from the Community Partnership Funding Program and we received $2,000.00 each year for the next two years. We wish to thank the Sunshine Coast Council for these grants so that we can provide an excellent sporting facility for the use of the community.

Viewing wildlife

Contributed by Pauline Clarke The Glasshouse Country View Club luncheon meeting on Wednesday, September 21 featured a talk by Roslyn Leslie from The Wildlife Volunteers Association (Wilvos). As a self funded volunteer organisation their work involves the rescue, rearing, rehabilitation and release of native animals back to the wild. They maintain a 24 hour hotline which handles thousands of enquiries about wildlife. Covering the Sunshine Coast between Caboolture and Gympie and extending out to Kenilworth and beyond, Wilvos have dedicated carers who handle just about anything that comes their way. A great talk, very interesting to hear about such an extremely worthwhile organisation.

Environment

Business is booming!

Unitywater sponsorships to support community groups

Business feature As popularity for the 100% Australian designed and manufactured Transportable Shade Sheds and related products has substantially grown, the locally based Landsborough company has opened opportunities for small business owners to become resellers.

Since offering small business owners the opportunity to sell the products – in less than a year, 38 small businesses operators have successfully come on board to become resellers across the country. A unique point of difference is that resellers are their own bosses as opposed to franchisee operators with the flexibility to manage the business to suit their lifestyle and other commitments.

For some, becoming a reseller has offered the perfect balance of lifestyle and income and for others the business offers an excellent source of additional revenue that can be tailored to fit in with other working commitments or compliment existing businesses.

As well as offering a high grade, Australian manufactured adaptable product and custom made trailer, resellers also enjoy the confidence of being backed up by comprehensive training, team support from the Landsborough office and a unique online marketing and mentoring service as part of Transportable Shade Sheds collaboration with Saver6.com Charlie Dangerfield comes from a mixed farming and fencing background and is based just outside of Bendigo in Victoria. Living in a strong agricultural region has proven an excellent base to sell the products and since becoming a reseller in this new financial year, Charlie is thrilled to have already sold a number of sheds.

“I love the product and I’m really happy - actually I’m over the moon about the sales so far – and all in just a couple of months,” enthused Charlie.

Like many other resellers, Charlie has incorporated his Saver6.com business to build on his trade and previous work experience.

Along with livestock and crop farming, Charlie has worked on and off as a fencing contractor for the last 20 years. Becoming a reseller has allowed him to back down from his farm work and utilise his skills to establish his own business ‘Central Victoria Transportable Sheds and Fencing’ – and to date business is booming!

With his experience in livestock and farming, Charlie understands the appeal of both the sturdiness and versatility of the Transportable Shade Shed range of products. Sensing the opportunity for revenue growth and the chance to have a profitable business that also allows a better work / family life balance, he has found an excellent market in his local area well suited to the products. Charlie has found that customers are keen for custom made sheds and shelters, with conversions into horse and livestock shelters particularly popular.

If you know someone looking for a Transportable Shade Shed around the Bendigo area, please contact Charlie via social media or on 0456 926 551.

If you would like to find out more about opportunities in your area, are keen to be your own boss, or look at business options that may work well with your current industry, contact the team at Transportable Shade Sheds on 1300 667 433 or Saver6.com on 1300 918 771.

Please call Charlie Dangerfield, a Saver6.com member and a Transportable Shade Shed specialist. He is available to help you get your Transportable Shade Shed on your property.

Unitywater has launched its 2016-17 Community Sponsorship Program, offering up to $10,000 to support charitable causes and community projects.

Community Relations Specialist Kate Cash said Unitywater was looking for organisations and projects that align with its purpose of keeping communities healthy.

“This funding will go to initiatives that support community wellbeing, community development and the environment,” Ms Cash said.

“We’re passionate about keeping our communities healthy and are happy to support projects that contribute to this.”

For the environment, focus is on initiatives that deliver environmental improvements or provide environmental education with a particular focus on waterway health. The objectives of these projects need to improve outcomes for our region’s flora, fauna and biodiversity, and reduce the community’s impact on the environment, as well as increasing community awareness of the local environment and their role in protecting it. They also need to increase accessibility and community participation in environmental initiatives.

“We are very much a part of the community. By supporting these hardworking organisations, we hope to help foster vibrant, healthy communities and create ongoing positive benefits for our customers,” Ms Cash said.

Applications opened Monday, October 3 and close Monday, November 21.

Glasshouse Mountains Advancement Network The peculiarity of Paperbarks The first time I saw a paperbark tree, I thought something was wrong with it, making its bark fall off. These trees are truly odd, but hauntingly beautiful, especially as they grow big, old and gnarly.

The scientific name Melaleuca stems from the ancient Greek melanos meaning ‘black’ and leukos ‘white’, referring to their look after wildfires – burnt at the bottom but still white at the top. Paperbarks can withstand not only fire but also drought conditions and even wet feet, many species being common on the edge of estuaries or streams.

More than 200 species call Australia home, including small shrubs, such as the Honey Myrtle, and massive trees reaching to 70 metres, such as Broad-leafed Paperbarks. Melaleucas are closely related to Callistemons, differing principally in the number of stamens (male parts of flowers).

The flowers are a rich source of nectar for fruit bats, and many birds and insects. A host of insects live amongst and under the bark layers, providing a feast for insectivorous birds and mammals. It’s a great place to hide, and I have seen a tree snake literally disappear into the bark of a paperbark.

Traditionally, the papery bark has been used to construct temporary dwellings, as bandages, sleeping mats, cradles, for wrapping food for cooking underground, and even for wrapping bodies for burial.

The leaves have anti-bacterial properties; tea tree oil is used to this day for topical applications. Traditionally, a brew made from the young leaves was used to treat colds and headaches.

Do you have an hour or two a month to spare? Would you like to learn more about the flora and fauna in your area, and meet new friends?

Each artist has their own distinct style while complementing each other. This art exhibition that opens on October 15 at 5.00pm will be a celebration of new life with works that show the extraordinary in the ordinary and the simplicity and happiness which can be found in nature.

Janna Pameijer uses the simplicity of clay and form

Vianta’s next exhibition River of Stars Tatebayashi.

The artists visited Shimokawa Sensei’s house in which he had set up a number of installations of his works about the Watarase River Basin near where he lives in Tatebayashi. The artwork made strong statements about the human impact on the waterways.

Recently Sister Cities artist Christine Elcoate successfully applied for a RADF grant from the Sunshine Coast Council/Arts QLD to enable the Sunshine Coast Sister Cities group to stage a collaborative Sister City environmental exhibition.

This exhibition will include Shimokawa Sensei’s work and work by Sunshine Coast water and sound artist Dr Leah Barclay. The collaborative exhibition will be held at the Arts & Ecology Centre, Maroochy Bushland Botanical Gardens, Tanawha from November 19 to 26.

The RADF grant will also fund a day of workshops with school students to be held on November 21. The environment related art produced during these workshops will also be exhibited at the Arts & Ecology Centre during the collaborative Sister Cities exhibition. The student workshops will be run by Sunshine Coast Hinterland Art4Place artists Fiona Dempster, Christine Elcoate, Noela Mills and Barry Smith. The focus of the workshops will be on clean and healthy waterways.

to highlight the posture, movement and character of creatures such as egrets and wallabies.

Hand painted paper is the foundation of collages

by Barbara Nye, intricate mixed media works incorporating painted paper pieces which are layered and stitched to give a textured effect.

Pots, platters and bowls created using the natural colours of clays to highlight hues and textures of inland Australia are the works of Lindsay Muir.

All are welcome to come along on the night to check out the great array of new art works and the opportunity to come and meet the artists.

MAD is located at shop 2/30 Maple Street, Maleny (next door to Rosettas Books). If you are planning to attend the opening please RSVP to 0413 885 220 or e: malenyartdirect@gmail.com

This exhibition ‘Whimsical Wanderings’ is a collection of whimsical, sometimes satirical paintings drawn straight from Deann Cumner’s imagination.

The catalyst for her art is favorite music, usually ‘World’ music from exotic countries, or hauntingly beautiful/ alternate tunes from people like Loreena Mc Kennet, Katie Noonan, Stringmansassy, Angelique Kidjo, Nick Cave, and Florence and the machine, to name a few.

Wherever the music takes her mind as she paints, the destiny of the painting becomes clearer to her (e.g. African music steers the work to African subjects and decoration...French music to France, etc).

She very rarely paints from reality. She prefers to make marks on a canvas and see what happens, much as a child will see imaginary images within the clouds.

"Usually my work is figurative, or of figures within a landscape - sometimes it feels like they emerge from another time or place.

“Happily I never plan a painting, and am always excited to see where the work takes me,” she said.

“My favorite medium is tar/shellac/oils, and many of the works in this exhibition are of this medium. I also use acrylic, and collage.

“Rarely do I paint from life, although I do enjoy sketching on occasion from a live model.

“I truly hope the viewers of this exhibition will travel to my mind’s destinations, through this path of ‘Whimsical wanderings’.”

Deann's exhibition will hang at Vianta Arts, 70 Simpson Street, Beerwah, until October 30, and officially opens at 6.00pm on Friday, October 7. Light refreshments will be served at the opening, and an a la carte menu will be available from 7.00pm – for table bookings call Vianta on 0412 312 399.

Living - Music Music it’s all about the fellowship Fresh from his involvement with the Maleny Music Muster, the seven-day celebration of music hosted by the Maleny Historical Society, GC&M News chatted to event organiser Harvey Bryce about his recent performance and subsequent win at the Beerwah Talent Search.

Held as part of this year’s Beerwah Charity Sports and Spring Carnival Day, Harvey was already onsite performing with his local ukulele group when he decided to join the competition as a last minute entry. Playing the instrument for the last 20 or so years, Harvey explains that he plays both types of music ‘Country and Western’ and that the great thing about playing when you get a bit older is that “you don’t strive for excellence, you just enjoy playing and that it’s really all about the fellowship.”

Harvey has been heavily involved with ukulele groups in Maleny for many years including the ‘Pioneer Ukulele Group’ aka P.U.G. With a performance of John Williams ‘40 years ago’ (with the slightly amended line of being ‘just a little boy..70 years ago’), Harvey strummed and sang his way into winning the runners up prize in the talent quests’ open section.

“I thought they might be a bit short on contestants and we all like the opportunity to entertain, so I thought I’d get up and perform just for the sake of it! It was all in good fun,” explained Harvey.

Music Today

with Dr Michael Whiticker

Music festivals are addictive!

This time of year gives me so much pleasure. It’s not just the weather which is very pleasant, it is the abundance of music festivals that brings me no end of excitement.

Following hard on the heels of the Maleny and Neurum Creek festivals, I was in Nimbin this last weekend to provide one of the PAs for the Nimbin Roots Festival. Yes, it is fair to say that as a musician and PA operator, I have vested interests, but I would be keen to attend even if I wasn’t working, and judging by the number of music festivals in Australia (there are hundreds), and the huge numbers that attend them, music festivals are popular with more than just musicians!

So what is it that attracts people? In my case it is the opportunity to hear such a wide variety of live music in one place at one time.

If I’m not working I will tend to move from stage to stage as I don’t want to miss anything. I know that most people would find that excessive so I don’t recommend it, but it suits me, and if it is a festival as big as Woodford with over 20 stages, it keeps me fit as well!

Camping tends to be an anticipated part of the music festival experience for many, though others prefer the comfort of their caravans and motor homes.

Driving home each night or choosing a comfortable bed in a motel makes sense, but that could begin to make the festival expensive, and means you might miss out on those fun activities that take place around the campfire where all the guitars (or fiddles or ukuleles) are produced and lots of singing takes place, (or it could be djembes and lots of dancing)!

Yes, for a few the festival experience allows them to party harder than usual and they don’t need to drive home afterwards!

For me, the biggest thrill is simply the inspiration I find in having so many fine musicians in one place at one time, coming together to make music for each other and their audience.

I may go home tired after three days of 16 hours of music a day, but it is a satisfied tiredness.

The Caloundra Music Festival is on each year at this time. It isn’t really a camping festival, but it’s still a lot of fun. Ultimately it’s all about the music.

Discover Beerburrum’s history

Division 1 Councillor Sunshine Coast Council A century of celebrations

I was delighted to attend the ‘Back to Glass House Day’ with the Mayor in honour of the Glass House Mountains Community Hall celebrating 100 years of service. It was a perfect opportunity to chat about our local history beautifully captured in the many great displays showing achievements that often take generations to unfold. I was pleased that a council grant helped provide the funds to produce the book on the History of the Hall.

The committee did a fantastic job and were very pleased that it was a ‘packed to the rafters’ event.

The raffle made just under $700.00, and book sales just under $1,200.00, a fantastic effort with all funds raised to benefit the Hall’s future projects.

Think Caloundra!

I recently attended council’s launch of the draft ‘Think’ Caloundra Centre Master Plan. I know many Division 1 residents feel a strong connection to Caloundra and will want to have their say on what’s planned. I encourage you all to visit the project website ‘Have Your Say Sunshine Coast’ to provide your comments by Friday, October 7. It is also on display at the Beerwah Library.

Come say hello My next ‘Meet and Greet’ session will be at the Bellvista Meeting Place, 18 Lomond Crescent, Caloundra West on Friday, October 14, 11.00am – 1.00pm. Come along for a chat about local issues and council projects.

State Member for Caloundra We all know men and women who bind together for a goal that enriches their community. Often these people choose to remain anonymous or adopt a low key approach. On this occasion I won’t let the Mooloolah Valley Community Centre Committee do that.

I was honoured to stand in State Parliament on Thursday, September 15 at 2.30pm and talk of the Committee and their aspirations for the centre.

Founded in 1894, as the Mooloolah School, it was closed in 1985. Hard work by local residents saw it resurrected in 2008 as a community centre that was opened by Governor Dame Quentin Bryce.

The Centre offers an array of services including a Community Barbecue once per month, a counselling service, a community garden and welfare assistance.

But the Committee wants to achieve more – much more. With the current lease on the building expiring only eight years away their plans require a long term lease or freehold title.

They are nothing if not ambitious.

After a petition (signed by 2000 people in the community) to the Education Minister to address the issue was rejected I have now written to the Deputy Premier asking for her assistance.

The ability of the Committee is matched only by their ambition. I will conclude by quoting from my closing remarks made in Parliament: ‘When a local Community binds together and develops the will to succeed, it becomes a force in its own right. Having met with the committee many times I say that that force is now moving forward, and they will achieve their goal at the end of the day.’

Public Forum Together with a colleague Jarrod Bleijie, Member for Kawana, I am hosting a public forum so you can have your say on Caloundra Road traffic congestion. Many hinterland residents frequent Caloundra Road either for work or leisure purposes and I strongly encourage you to attend if you are able to. Main Roads data shows certain sections of Caloundra Road are set to increase from 31,000 to more than 50,000 by 2031.

Representatives from Stockland and Main Roads have been invited to attend as guest speakers.

The forum will be held on Tuesday, October 18, CCSA Hall, 1 Nutley Street, Caloundra, 6.00pm – 8.00pm. To reserve your seat email: caloundra@parliament.qld.gov.au

Lost in the mail

With changes to our postal services I wonder if it is still obligatory and good manners to redirect mail where it has been delivered to a wrong address?

Mistakes seem to be regularly made in the postal delivery to Glass House Mountains, the most recent event would have resulted in us being penalised by our bank for late payment when our statement did not reach us.

The bank confirmed that the statement was sent out in good time. It is lucky for us that I keep a close watch on when bills are due and payable.

Please people, if it is not your mail, write ‘not this street’ or ‘unknown at this address’ (whichever is applicable) on the face of the envelope and pop it back into the Post Office. Not hard to do and saves others in the community angst.

We must also be aware of identity theft so anyone seeing an unauthorised person with mail that does not belong to them should notify the police.

Just delighted

The Save Steve Irwin Way Forest Group was delighted by the news announced on September 16 that the road footprint in Steve Irwin Way Forest has been reduced from 35ha to 6-8ha and that over 744ha of the forest will be transitioned to National Park.

Rather than paying lip service to the concept of community consultation (which usually consists of telling us what will be done, inviting our comments and concerns and then filing them), Minister Mark Bailey and the DTMR Project Team demonstrated a refreshingly honest approach to engaging with local community groups such as ours and coming up with a solution which actually delivers tangible improvements – a safer road, improved access for local business and protecting high conservation value forest for future generations.

The Steve Irwin Way Forest aka Beerwah State Forest – Meridan Hills Section or Mooloolah Logging area (some sections of which have not ever been logged) contains some critically endangered habitat and species, as well as very large old habitat trees.

Preservation of this forest is an important contribution to the connectivity of habitat and longterm viability of wildlife on the Sunshine Coast.

We look forward to working with DTMR with a view to achieving the environmental goals set by Minister Bailey, during the actual construction phase.

Not surprised

Mark McArdle's comments about the closure of the Beerwah branch of Suncorp were no great surprise to me.

After almost a quarter of a century of membership with Suncorp, my wife and I applied for a short term loan to build a small retirement home. We offered our current fully owned home as collateral for a loan of around one quarter of our home's value and were told they were not interested.

As we had suspected for a long time, this organisation was all about joining the ‘Big Four’ banks and doing whatever was needed to ensure the shareholders receive a nice fat return on their investments.

We approached Heritage Bank for a loan and was delighted to find that this company is still very much ‘old school’ where customers are concerned.

Their motto is ‘People first’. We had excellent personal service from the staff at the Buderim Branch and in no time we were approved for a house loan. Naturally we are moving all our banking needs over to them so we are not at all concerned about the Suncorp closure. Heritage has branches at Caloundra, Buderim and Kawana Shopping World as well as online and mobile banking.

So my advice to those who feel dudded by Suncorp's high-handed attitude is to sign up with Heritage.

They do all the work to ensure your accounts are transferred for you and most importantly, they are not working to ensure profits for shareholders because they have a ‘customer-owned culture’.

Things to come

The recent wild weather experienced in South Australia and generally across the south, may be a portent of things to come. I note particularly the high velocity winds, cold conditions and previously recorded connections with declining solar activity.

Scientists from the National Solar Observatory in the US and elsewhere, are currently observing a notable reduction in sunspot numbers - if this trend continues it may herald a cyclical solar hibernation and result in a mini ice age which could dominate the 21st century.

During the last major ice age, Australia experienced winds of greater force and velocity and with more significant destructive power than has generally been experienced in the warm balmy period of the last 12,000 years or so.

Retreating glaciers in New Zealand have revealed a considerable volume of red soil blown across the Tasman from Australia during that last cold epoch.

You Said It The ramifications of a long term solar hibernation are explored in David Archibald's recent book 'Twilight of Abundance', which he for example, advises would lead to shorter growing seasons, more severe winters and reduced food production. It is worth a read.

The vast wheat belt in Western Australia is experiencing an unusually cold start to spring with widespread frosts impacting on wheat yields. Are we witnessing the early signs of what could be a long term climatic cooling, and if this is the case, are we sufficiently prepared to cope with it?

Jon Woodlands Maleny

NBN

I know some people hold the opinion that the low level radio emissions from NBN towers would destroy the wellbeing of both residents and wildlife.

So we made extensive enquiries to inform ourselves, of potential dangers of radio waves from a proposed tower in our street. We have found no evidence or information to alarm us re the emission levels of radiation that must comply with safety regulations.

We love Australian native animals, birds and plants and if I believed that wildlife, whether free ranging or safely protected in reserves and National Parks would suffer, I would object. But I cannot see that they would be harmed by NBN towers and their regulated emissions.

Since the proposal for an NBN tower at Beerwah was refused by the Sunshine Coast Council, I have discovered that of the 11 named objectors to the proposed location on Rupari Hill, only two or three were actually local people, the rest were residents of places such as Maleny, Hunchy, or Peachester, who would not likely be affected at all by microwaves from the proposed tower.

As these objectors would not have been personally adversely affected, why are the submissions of these non-residents accepted as valid?

If they are acceptable, it is easy to see how any proposal to locate towers strategically for efficient delivery of fast broadband, no matter how sensitively the site is chosen, can be disrupted by distant objectors to the disadvantage of potential customers who are waiting for the service.

Is it any wonder that the costs of delivery of the service are rising alarmingly?

3 tips for saving while paying off a mortgage Paying off a mortgage can be a lofty task indeed. With those weekly payments coming out of your account, you may have nothing left for other financial goals such as saving for a holiday or perhaps even making extra mortgage repayments.

It doesn’t have to be that way. With smart advice courtesy of Smartline’s experienced mortgage broker Teresa Harrison, your mortgage needn’t be an impossible burden, leaving little room for reaching other goals.

To get you started, let’s have a quick look at three ways that you could free up some room in your finances while paying off a mortgage.

Cut the luxuries MoneySmart data suggests that the average Australian spends $32 a week dining out and a further $20 on bakery products. This seems like a completely reasonable amount,

www.gcnews.com.au

yet the fact is it’s a luxury that could easily be sacrificed in the name of achieving your financial goals.

This extra cash, could go a long way towards saving for that second property, or even a couple weeks on a tropical beach in Bali.

Doing this doesn’t mean you must subsist on two-minute-noodles and meal replacement formula. Instead, just have a close look at your expenditures and see where you can cut any unnecessary costs. The money that this saves you could go towards securing an investment home loan and starting your property empire.

Refinance If you secured your mortgage a year or more ago, refinancing could potentially help to lock in a lower rate.

Rent a room out Generate extra income and gain a new house mate to hang out with, all in one fell swoop.

Not only will you be slightly wealthier and gain a new companion, but you may also be able to claim part (or all) of your interest payments on your loan back as tax deductions, according to the Australian Taxation Office.

Our experienced mortgage brokers specialise in finding suitable loan products for your needs and will be there to help from the first payment to the last.

Contact Teresa today for expert mortgage advice and service.

On August 2 the Reserve Bank lowered the cash rate to an all time low of 1.5 per cent.

This change has led commercial banks to pass on savings to customers, resulting in record low home loan rates.

If you secured your mortgage more than a year ago, refinancing could potentially help to lock in a lower rate and save you money.

If you’re struggling with your mortgage or just need a word of advice Smartline is here to help.

Health Check Keep an eye on your eyes!

TMD / TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction)

with McCloy Dental TMD is a chronic pain condition that affects the jaw joint, and its associated structures (such as the neck and chewing muscles). It affects more women than men at a rate of 4:1. Sufferers of TMD are more likely than people without pain to have suffered trauma, grind and clench their teeth, suffer from other forms of chronic pain disorder (such as migraine, tension headache, irritable bowel, fibromyalgia), and have non-painful TMJ symptoms such as jaw noise and limitation of mandibular opening.

The most common forms of TMJ pain are arthralgia (or pain in the joint itself) and myofascial pain (muscle pain). Pain that is coming from the joint may be related to a disc displacement disorder (from a bad trauma to the head area, or a click or intermittent locking. It can also be related to degenerative, psoriatic or rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune or congenital disorders.

Myofascial pain or muscle pain is something that about 70% of the population experiences. It can be localised to the head and neck region or can be more widespread. In general the management of myofascial pain involves stress management, regular exercise, good posture and body mechanics, healthy diet, and adequate restorative sleep.

with Judi Coey Optometry The World Health Organisation estimates that 80% of the 285 million cases of vision impairment or blindness worldwide could have been avoided or better managed with regular eye examinations. Experts estimate that by the year 2020 (ironic) more than 800,000 Australians will experience serious vision loss or blindness – approximately 75% of these cases could be prevented or managed.

Here’s a few tips to keep your eyes in good health: Book a regular eye examination. Judi bulk bills all of her consultations and tests for serious diseases like macular degeneration and glaucoma – both leading causes of preventable blindness.

Only wear sunglasses that comply with Australian standards and provide 100% protection from UV and UVB rays.

With so many people using digital devices it is essential to protect your eyes from harmful blue light. We now have access to the Satin Blue multi-coat which can be put on most lenses and protects your eyes by selectively filtering light.

Make sure to eat a range of fruits and veggies and soak up the protective benefits. Foods like beetroot are high in lutein and zeaxanthin which has been proven to be beneficial to the eyes.

Vianta

For this month’s dining experience, Lea and I decided to enjoy the lunch options at Vianta in Beerwah. For those readers not familiar with the charms of Vianta, the venue offers a warm, welcoming and appealing space that is always complimented by the friendly (and often international) staff.

Looking forward to lunch, I chose the ‘Ana Vianta’ which was a blend of avocado, feta, kalamata olives and Spanish onion on sourdough at a very reasonable $8.50, and Lea decided on the ‘Chicken Fillet Burger’ which came with salad, tasty cheese and in house prepared aioli for $8.90.

The food is always presented beautifully at Vianta with the added advantage of very affordable pricing.

The lunch menu while well priced, also offered a very comprehensive selection of lunch time fare; including light sandwiches from just $4.90, heartier meals like a steak sandwich $11.90,

or the Vianta speciality gourmet steak sandwich $14.90, quiche of the day $7.90 through to a selection of salads, robust panini’s and burgers.

From 2.00pm, diners can enjoy ‘Vianta for Two’ which features a gourmet tasting plate with a selection of dips, cold cut meats, cheese’s and grilled antipasto vegetables with crackers $15.90 or a lighter Brushetta option $7.90. Coffee, teas and drinks along with a cabinet bursting with enticing sweet treats are available all day and their popular breakfast menu runs daily.

I had my obligatory coffee which is always prepared just how I enjoy it – strong, tasty and aromatic, and then we had a happy peruse of the cake and treats cabinet with delicious looking hand crafted tempters (some GF). I thought the gluten free carrot cake $5.80 looked just divine, but in the end we decided to order a slice of the passionfruit ricotta cheesecake $6.90 to bring back to the office for Brownie.

Vianta’s owner Steve Moon told us that Friday nights are still proving extremely popular with the venue open from 6.00pm until 9.00pm serving up a winning combination of BYO, live music and a tasty tapas menu that varies weekly.

This weeks ‘Vianta at Night’ will coincide with the official opening of their latest exhibition ‘Whimsical Wanderings’. Bookings are advised on 0431 730 275 and for more details visit www. vianta.com.au.

Out & About Speaker impresses at Zonta morning tea The Zonta Club of Blackall Range last week held their annual morning tea at the Masonic Centre Maleny to aid obstetric fistula programs in Africa.

Guest speaker Fiona McKeague, with a group of friends raised an impressive $18,000 to support a woman through the four-year course at the Hamlin Fistula Midwives College in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She illustrated her talk about her visit to the Hamlin Fistula Hospital with graphic images of the happy faces of women given back their lives by this facility, and a group of graduating students from the college.

The morning tea also helped with funds for the Zonta International fistula program in Liberia.

Things To Do Opportunity to learn about Scraperboard Discover the techniques of Scraperboard (sometimes referred to as scratchboard) with local artist, Robyn Graham at a workshop to be held at Forest Art Collective on Sunday, October 22. Scraperboard is an illustrative technique using sharp knives and tools for etching into a thin layer of white China clay that is coated with black India ink. As you scrape away the black top layer to reveal the white below, it’s possible to create finely detailed work. This is an exciting medium creating beautiful results and beginners are welcome. The workshop will run from 1.00pm – 4.00pm at Forest Art Collective, 20 Coral Street, Maleny. Cost is $40.00 per person (and includes afternoon tea and materials). Bookings are essential – call Karen on 0427 607 628 or email nursery@forestheart.com.au

Show guaranteed to be a real gem The Nambour Lapidary Club Inc. is hosting the annual Gemfest spectacular at the Nambour showgrounds on Saturday, October 8.

There will be over 100 exhibitors with displays and bargain buys from rough and polished rocks, semiprecious minerals, valuable gems and opals. As well as lapidary supplies and equipment on sale.

This is an all-weather affair with all stalls and displays under cover. 'Guaranteed find' fossicking for the youngsters, and all day hot food and refreshments. Don’t miss this interesting and funfilled family day. Gates open at 8.00am, entry is only $4.00, with children under 12 free.

The showgrounds are located at Coronation Avenue at Nambour and there's plenty of off-street parking.

Mustang – Turkish-French prize winner A multi-prize-winning feature from Turkey will be screened by the Maleny Film Society in the Maleny Community Centre on Saturday, October 8 at 7.15pm. (Doors open at 6.00pm for dinner catered by Wild Rocket).

Turkish language with English subtitles, 97 minutes; PG+13.

Mustang tackles, through the story of one regional family of five girls, a multitude of issues around women's rights: from being allowed to drive, to swim and play roughly but innocently with boys, to attend football matches – and to choose their own husbands.

The first line of repression for the five girls, Lale, Sonay, Selma, Nur and Ece, is within their own family: a traditional grandmother and menacing uncle resort to imprisonment, fixed marriages and darker threats to cement the girls' lack of freedom. A series of marriages, which should make happy colourful episodes in this film, have a tragic counterpoint. One positive, unique and topical scene is an all-women's football game driven by the energy of female supporters.

This is a first feature film for female Turkish-French director Deniz Gamze Erguven (who is also co-writer). Mustang has won an accolade of awards, beginning with seven nominations and two wins at Cannes.

Drinks available from the bar; tea and coffee stand with home-made slices.

Members of the Film Society may pre-book at the Maleny Information Centre or on-line. www.malenyfilmsociety.info

The sonorous tutti orchestral sound of Mendelssohn’s ‘Hebrides Overture’, Handel’s ‘Royal Fireworks Music’, Coate's ‘Dam Busters March’, Elgar’s ‘Empire March’ and Vaughn William’s ‘Folk Song Suite’ will be contrasted with John William’s ‘Theme from Schindlers List’, Violin Soloist, Mai Yamanka, Ford’s ‘Polonaise for Piccolo’ Soloist Phillipa Hancock, Bizet’s ‘Duet from the Pearl Fishers’, Soloists Wendy Selby and Ros Shaw and also an inspired and contemporary piece for tuba played by and composed by the Orchestra’s resident Tuba player John Szkutko.

The TS Centaur Navy Cadets will provide an afternoon tea for purchase, so come and satisfy your senses, enjoy listening to the memorable melodies and toe tapping rhythms of this kaleidoscopic program. Tickets are $20.00 from SCSO: www. sunshinecoastsymphonyorchestra.com or 5442 3445 or Maleny Visitor Centre. www.gcnews.com.au

Jobs for the yard in October

• Watch out for leaf miner in your citrus trees. Recent new growth is susceptible to this burrowing caterpillar. Spray every two - three weeks with a pest spray or white oil to control the problem.

• Grape vines will be growing and bunches of grapes forming, so keep up the water to ensure plump juicy fruits. If birds are a problem, cover the whole vine with netting or the bunches with individual pest exclusion bags.

Green Harvest has a good range (greenharvest.com.au) • Prune your poinsettias by two thirds to promote strong growth for next autumn.

• Plant seed or seedlings for Christmas dinner, especially colourful, leafy lettuces like red mignonette, butter beans, golden button squash and cherry tomatoes.

• Vines – flowering or fruiting – will be growing quickly, so keep training them so that they grow where you want them to (not the other way around).

• The warmer weather is perfect for planting tropical fruit trees, such as babaco, longan and tamarillo.

• Flowering kangaroo paws may need stacking to support them if feeding birds make them bend.

• Dig lots of compost and manure into the spot where you will be planting herbs and then watch the new seedlings go crazy.

Vegetables Plant asparagus, silverbeet, capsicum, pumpkin, choko, zucchini, shallots, cucumber, beans, eggplant, lettuce, okra, radish, spring onion, tomato, sweet corn and sweet potato.

Flowers Plant alyssum, amaranthus, torenia, bedding begonia, gomphrena, cosmos, gerbera, marigold, gazania, petunia, coleus, portulaca, carnation, salvia, zinnia, aster, celosia, sunflower, impatiens, calendula, californian poppy, chrysanthemum, dianthus, gaillardia, gloxinia, phlox and snapdragon.

White Cedar

Melia azedarach White Cedar is a small to medium native tree (6-25m) that belongs to the mahogany family. It is tolerant of extended dry periods and can adapt to a wide variety of soils. It is valued in some areas for its timber which ranges in colour from light brown to dark red. White Cedar is deciduous in winter and with the arrival of spring the tree gets a lovely covering of light green ferny like foliage. It then produces a very generous display of scented pale lilac flowers (in flower now). The flowers are followed by bunches of yellow fruit, which birds eat and spread the seed. White Cedar makes a beautiful small shade tree as it develops a good straight trunk with a nicely domed canopy covered with dense foliage. Being deciduous it is perfect for areas that need shade in summer but also need the warmth of the winter sun coming through.

The Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act states that while a tenancy continues, the lessor: · Must maintain the premises in a way that it remains fit for the tenant to live in · Must maintain the premises and inclusions in good repair · Must ensure any law dealing with issues about the health or safety of persons using or entering the premises is complied with · If the premises includes a common area, this area must be kept clean. It is important for lessors to understand that if they supply an inclusion such as a dishwasher or air conditioner in the property when a tenancy commences, they must maintain it throughout the entire tenancy.

A COMMON MISCONCEPTION ~ Some lessors believe if the appliance breaks down they don’t have to fix it. However, in this instance the lessor must repair or replace the item or they may negotiate a rent decrease due to the loss of an amenity.

While Camping

I have friends who would find any excuse to go camping. I also have friends who would find any excuse not to. This missive is written while camping with the first lot. Thanks to modern technology I am using my tablet to type and share my thoughts ready for publication when I return to the Glasshouse area of civilisation.

There I will reacquaint myself with the other friends who need hot water, electricity, tiled roof, and tiled or carpeted floor to exist. They will politely listen as I describe my camping experience, but will probably be wishing I would change the subject some time soon. The camping experience is a bit like avocado. Both have an acquired taste. Both grow on you bit by bit. Both become something you eventually enjoy; or not. Yet my camping and not-camping friends are still my friends and receive my time and trust. Some current friends were once a little like the first taste of avocado. I would trust my camping friend while pitching a tent; but probably not my non-camping mate. And that is one of the ironies of life. Each of us has friends

with different interests. Some of my best friends even barrack for New South Wales at Origin time! As a mature adult, I can, and do, make the choice of allowing others the choices in their lives which may be at odds with what I would prefer.

And that makes life interesting. If all my friends and I played only tennis, ate the same breakfast cereal, wore the same brand of shoes, drove the same model car, and had the same job, what a cramped and boring life it could be.

I notice in reading the Bible that Jesus associated with people who were not teachers like himself.

There were widows, wealthy professionals, farmers, fishermen, tax-collectors, children from poor families, pillars of the religious community, and even the bearers of dreadful diseases. I see he came to save all those and that he values each one.

Sport Records smashed at Glasshouse District Little Athletics

The 2016 season of Little Athletics has had a bumper start with nine Home and four Away Competition records broken at the Glasshouse District Club in just the first three weeks of competition. The club has also seen a huge increase in the number of athletes register this year, with numbers swelling to 154 members – 84 of those registrations being new athletes.

In just those three weeks we have also had 143 athletes achieve Personal Bests and 43 of the Under 6 to Under 10 age groups have already achieved their McDonald’s Green Level awards.

These levels are based on athletes achieving certain times and distances across all events.

Well done to all of our athletes for a great start to the 2016/17 season. It’s not too late to be a part of it if you want to join in the fun. Check out the website at www.glasshouselittleathletics.com.au

Range Croquet Club

Contributed by Gail Denver Saturday was a hive of activity at the Range Croquet Club. In the morning, eight people took to the lawns to learn croquet skills, with three being first timers. Once again, all seemed to be enjoying the experience.

Later that afternoon, a working bee achieved some of our goals – but probably the most rewarding part was sharing the delightful scones and muffins. (Thank you to Helen for providing this tasty morning tea!).

On Sunday afternoon, Jim Marple from New Zealand paid us a visit. Jim has represented his country against Australia and was one of the lowest handicapped players ever to grace our lawns. It was rewarding to watch his skill as he went around and pegged out 26 to 6 against Kath Smith and Vince Carbery. Our November Tournament fast approaches and so far we have received nominations from across the Sunshine Coast Region as well as Brisbane. Regular association croquet coaching is held at our grounds on the Maleny Showgrounds on Saturday mornings; and the Range Croquet Club welcomes new players at any time, with coaching and mallets available for beginners.

Contact Vince Carbery (5494 2193) or Priscilla Vickers (5494 3555).

Maleny Bowls Club

Contributed by Ian Hansen Monday’s Monthly Jackpot Pairs winners with two wins +24 were Allan and Rob from Mapleton. The runners-up with +12 in the second game were more visitors in Noel and Lester from Kilcoy. The Jackpot wasn’t won and the raffle prizes and the money board prizes also all went to visitors. Not a good day for the locals. Only five players fronted on Tuesday so Scroungers were played. The winner was David Burgess with 37 points just nudging out Allan Cook with 36. Wednesday evening bowls seem to have become just a social event with no results recorded.

Friday’s Scroungers winners were John Lewis, Miles Allen Heather Snel and Joe Walters. With Reg Darwell being the only member able to claim his prize from Top of the range Meats. The lucky money board winner was Jim King.

This week there was Jackpot Pairs / Triples Tuesday, Wednesday evening bowls and Scroungers Friday. Upcoming events include the Scroungers final scheduled for Friday, October 14 and the Scott Fawkes Memorial Triples Friday, October 21.

Note the change in format as this used to be a Handicap Singles event.

Starting time is 6.00pm for 6.30pm, cost is $12.00 which includes both bowls and a barbeque.

There is a sheet at the Club for this event.

Enrol in Martial Arts for Term 4 San Training Centre is a full time martial arts centre in Beerwah with clubs also in Maleny and Kenilworth.

Our club supports family involvement, reinforces respect, safety and responsibility while providing an affordable sport in a safe, fun and exciting environment for students. Classes are run every afternoon and Saturday mornings and are specially designed for each age group.

Our Elevation program for under 6’s focuses on developing basic body awareness, gross motor skills and self control, while our under 10’s program works on improving coordination, balance and self confidence.

We also offer teenager, adult and family lessons and have a high performance competition team.

We are now taking enrolments for Term 4 but spaces are limited.

BeeGees Football Club

Contributed by Paul Hughes We would like to congratulate our U15 boys, U17 Boys and U16 girls for all winning their respective leagues. All three teams also got to the Grand Final. Unfortunately, the U14 and U17 boys came second in their finals but our U16 girls completed the double with a 1-0 win over Cooroora.

Contributed by Taylah Boultbee The MF Martial Arts Australia Championships were held on Saturday, September 17. It was a huge success with 125 competitors giving it their best shot. Team Hinterland had 32 participants enter the event and made 19 placements - four gold, seven silver and eight bronze. In all it was a brilliant day for the MF Martial Arts Teams and every student walked away with a huge smile and a participation award as well. The Australian MF Championship are only new, but the British MF Championship is where the big game is! In October 2017 we are hoping to fundraise for a small team of students five - 10 to head over to the UK and compete in England and represent Australia.

Other MF Martial Arts Schools are wanting to do the same. Those that made placements are listed below. For the full list of individual events and placements please visit our MF Hinterland

Just for Laughs The ultimate sacrifice

Eleven people were hanging from a rope, under a helicopter. There were 10 men and one woman.

The rope was not strong enough to hold all of them, so they decided that one of them would have to let go of the rope. Otherwise they were all going to fall.

Unfortunately, no one was willing to let go of the rope until the woman gave the following moving speech.

"I am willing to volunteer to let go of the rope, because, as a woman, I am used to giving up everything for my husband, my kids and the rest of my family. I am used to making sacrifices with little in return.”

As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping!

Your Stars with Edgar J. Winter - www.astroclairvoyant.com Week beginning 05/10/2016 LIBRA September 23 – October 22 It’s not hard to imagine that you are becoming quite the expert at balancing your personal and professional feelings on the job. The planets put you in touch with people who appeal to you, either romantically or in close friendship.

Jupiter, being in your sign this week, may double up the charm you naturally ooze from every pore!

SCORPIO October 23 – November 22 This is of course your birthday month, until October 18 you will be drawing others to you like the power in a magnet. Because the Moon is in your sign, authority figures you have been counting on, should come through for you. As they may have invested in you, do your best and rise to the occasion. You may need to compromise now.

SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 The planets this week favour secret probes and investigations. You may find yourself dealing with institutions or private organisations and that should be very productive. People are reliable and can be expected to give dependable support. Remember that friendship is a two-way street so be ready to lend a hand when needed.

CAPRICORN December 23 – January 19 Asking for an elder, parent, or authority figure for assistance has never come easily to you.

However, this is the week you need to grin and bear it! The good news is that they will be more than cooperative and quite willing to help. The thoughtful planet, Mercury, makes his way to bringing you sweet secrets and intimate feelings.

AQUARIUS January 20 – February 19 As the mighty planet Jupiter entered partner pleasing sign of Libra, and in your ninth sector of long distance communication and travel, you thirst for new information. Any time in the next few months you may pursue a certificate course, various lectures, or take an overseas trip. A lot of mixing business with pleasure now.

PISCES February 20 – March 20 It’s best not to overreact to someone who seems to be asking too many questions or nosing into your business. Best to ask them why they are so interested. The depth of your feelings for someone becomes more obvious to you now, due to a situation calling for an emergency response. You enjoy delving into a new psychic project.

ARIES March 21 – April 20 Well if you are in the southern states you are in daylight savings time. Three planets take turns in passing through your relationship sector. So this is the week to be nice to your sweetheart, up early to get her/him a cup of tea, or if not attached, to be in the mood to cooperate and negotiate. Partners should be stable and reliable.

TAURUS April 21 – May 22 This week the planets have settled, creating a perfect time to make a commitment, be it business or personal. Remember just play by the rules and your plans will move forward easily and go off without a hitch. True intimacy is on your mind with planets in your relationship sector, getting you ready to help and serve others.

GEMINI May 22 – June 21 This week could give you the start to a whole month of fun times with lovers and playmates!

It would be wise to keep a good list to show up for the events throughout the month, so as to attend to all those invitations you will accept.

Getting along with others will bring something surprising, yet satisfying results now.

CANCER June 22 – July 22 This week there is a lot to do around the home and with family. Perhaps your physical home is due for an upgrade. There are also energies that may see a birth of a new family member.

The Universe is sending Mercury along with a mission to convince a best friend of yours to assist you. Don’t be proud – ask for help!

LEO July 23 – August 22 This week means cleaning out any closet long overdue. There is a lot to do with the sharing of information and ideas. This can be in your local environment with neighbours and community members. Probably you will also find your mobile phone and computer is awash with information. A new invention catches your eye.

VIRGO August 23 – September 22 The emphasis for October seems to be showing your financial prowess, economic interests and earnings. You are connecting with kindred spirits for new friendships and there should be very little worries with Mercury and Jupiter being well balanced in the sign of Libra.

The Moon may urge you to try your hand to investigate options.
