HE LIONS CLuB of Maleny-Blackall Range invite you to their ‘Welcome to the Hinterland’ Dinner at Flaxton Gardens on Wednesday, April 20. Event Co-ordinator, Phil Holmes said, "It's the second year, normally Lions Club Maleny Blackall Range only had one dinner in Maleny, not normally well patronised by the Northern End of the Range. So we decided to have it up this end. "There were 115 in the first year - we're hoping to get up to 150 this year." It is open to new residents to the communities of Montville, Hunchy, Flaxton, Mapleton, Kureelpa, Dulong, Obi Obi road and surrounds. “New residents can meet other new residents and see what is available in the area, businesses or community clubs - there's quite a number of those,” said Phil. It's been sponsored by Mapleton IGA, with numerous raffle prizes donated by local businesses in our community. It really is a great get-together for local community groups and newcomers to the area - and some join groups like Lions. Tickets cost $40 and may be purchased at the Mapleton Community Library, Flair for Fashion, Monty’s or Soothe Hairdressing.

On behalf of Lions Club, Phil Holmes and Phillip Lester welcome new residents to the Range

ENNIFER (JEN) CLARKE manages to simultaneously emanate warmth and authority. These are two valuable attributes for the role of School Principal, where you need to garner trust but also respect from pupils, teachers and parents alike. “I always wanted to be a teacher, from four years old,” she smiles. “I used to organise other kids and I would organise the library, sometimes alphabetically, sometimes by book size.” Jen believes she was blessed to grow up in a one-teacher school. “There were only ever 17 to 30 kids in total, and in our class only six of us all the way through. It was a delightful childhood.”

upon leaving her idyllic school years, Jen headed off to Teachers’ Training College in Kelvin Grove, Brisbane. “Everyone went there in those days.” Heading home to Theodore where her parents owned a cattle property, Jen had every intention of driving around Australia in a 4WD with a girlfriend. “But then I met Ross and that was it!” Ross and Jen were married and moved to North Queensland where Ross worked for the DPI. “We had two boys during this time and I did some volunteering at a local school,” Jen explains. “We moved to Forest Hill and I spent a term as a teacher aide, before being back on staff.”

No stranger to upping sticks, the family then moved again to Charleville for Ross’s work and this was where Jen really sunk her teeth into teaching for seven years. “One day, the principal came up to me and said, ‘Have you ever thought about being a principal?’” Jen recalls. “I was recognised for having ‘teacher leader’ qualities; so I decided to put in my application and work through the ranks!” Funnily enough, in a nod to her youth, Jen’s first Principal role was in a one-teacher school in Norwin, only this time she was organising pupils and the library for real. “I had seven classes of kids, one teacher aide and once cleaner,” Jen shares. “My teacher aide was a gem. She was meant to go home at 1pm, but she often stayed, unpaid, till 3pm because she was worried about me. “The building was on black soil flats with no other buildings in view. The mail was only delivered three times a week, and yet, that school was the hub of the community. “One time I knew I was going to be working late and didn’t want to drive home in the dark, so I decided to stay at the school overnight. The P&C president caught me with my pillow and said I could always stay with them rather than at school. “That was where I learnt that if you work with your community, not against them, people can be a wealth of knowledge and support.” Jen’s passion for this school and community shines out throughout the conversation. She arranged bus trips for the children to experience new things, but always checked it was during ‘down time’ for the

farming community. “We visited a winery, went rock climbing, did geography in national parks, went to an orchard and watched different industries at work. “The farmer gave us bags to pick apples and we all went home with crates of tomatoes. It was all new for these kids; they loved it.” After two years, the District Inspector said, ‘Where next?’ and Jen was sent to Nobby – another farming community – this time leading a two-teacher school. “During this period, I had other Principals calling me to ask about protocol, policies and procedures and I began to wonder why we didn’t know the same things.” Jen realised there was little focussed developmental learning out there for principals. “Curriculum, facilities, finances, plus community and student welfare – you have to be skilled across all of these area to be an effective Principal.” Such was Jen’s curiosity that she ended up doing a doctorate titled Principals’ Processes of Professional Learning at uSQ. “It was seven years of external study whilst working full time.” Life directed Jen into public servant roles after this, however, “being a public servant wasn’t professionally rewarding”. “I realised what I really loved doing was teaching kids,” she smiles. Finally, the jewel in the crown arrived. Jen was offered Mapleton State School. “I thought I’d died and gone to heaven,” she admits. Her first meeting with the staff at Mapleton State School was not what she expected. “I was sat across the room from them all, expecting to hear their names and the year they taught…then one piped up with his golf handicap, another talked about red wine, and someone else told me their star sign. I was bemused!”

It is clear Jen has a great affection for her staff, “I tell them, if ever you are having a bad day, let me know. I will teach your class and you go and have a cup of tea at the Creek.” The school clearly benefits from Jen’s expertise and understanding. Every morning the kids do some exercise to burn excess energy before settling down to learn. Gum Boot Thursdays see them heading to Baxter Creek to help clear areas and use their nets and sail boats. They have Camp Out days, Teddy Bear Picnics and writing days using the stimulus of the outside environment. “I still have fire in the belly for a good safe learning environment,” says Jen. “I like to keep things evolving, not let things stagnate.” It sounds like the philosophy of Jen’s life.

Purging the past with

Poetry Hinterland Times writer, Gay Liddington, first met Australian poet and Maleny resident, Stefanie Bennett, at the Mackay City Library in 1998 when supported by her partner Tania, she travelled the outback. But it wasn’t until recently that she learnt ‘colourful’ is an understatement when describing Stefanie’s life! Stefanie Bennett

by Gay Liddington

B

ORN IN TOWNSVILLE in 1945, Stefanie is the child of a united States Airforce serviceman and an Australian mother. However, family history reveals a melting pot of Sicilian-Irish on her mother Vicki’s side and Native American and Dutch-German from her father, Harry. The story that moulded Stefanie Bennett includes her infamous Sicilian grandfather Frank Curro who was known as the ‘King of Ingham’. He ran betting shops down the coast below Cooktown, owned a string of hotels including the Regatta Hotel in Brisbane, and through his passion for music funded a youth orchestra. “He was determined that I would be an opera singer. Frank was fascinated with me because my voice was so deep. I actually learned to sing in Italian…and I could swear in Italian too!”

The home front for the young family was not a happy one. Father Harry’s alcoholic excesses, described by Stefanie as terrifying, incited domestic violence. “I started grade one at a boarding school in Ingham. I was only there a short time when my cousin Olga and I ran away.” “After a custody battle where my mother was branded a wanton woman, my younger sister and I were raised by Mum’s mother, a true-blooded Irish woman and her second husband. “Later we lived with my German grandfather at the upper Ross about twenty kilometres out of Townsville. There was a lot of swapping of kids going on and we were told if we weren’t good we’d be put in an orphanage.” Distance education was the means by which the children continued their education. “My mother wrote to me every week…we were like peas in a pod.” Stefanie left school at the age of ten. It was then she wrote her first book, The Axeman. “It was written in longhand with a maroon cover and stick-ons all over it. In a way, it was a story about grown-ups. “My influences came from reading my grandmother’s

Carter Brown novels and all the murder mystery magazines. And when Mum gave me spending money I bought all the Abbey series, I read everything!” Stefanie began work at the age of eleven and entered her teenage years surrounded by uncertainty. The complexity of her younger years left her disoriented as to the ways of normality. “My daughter was born in 1965. And I got married in between all of this. The marriage lasted ten weeks,” Stefanie recalled. A move to Brisbane and new a beginning prompted Stefanie to write a novel. It was the only one she ever wrote apart from her childhood work ‘The Axeman’. Although this promising writer couldn’t spell properly, she was an avid reader of the intellects like Franz Kafka, a German-language writer of novels and short stories. “I don’t know where it came from. I’d been reading Kafka and out of the blue I sat down to write a letter and I found myself writing, sleep would not come… “Suddenly I was writing about a person running. She’s sometimes looking back and sometimes looking forward because she casts no shadow… And it just went on. I forgot I was writing a letter.” The book ‘Stefan’ regarded as poetic prose was a reflection of the writer’s personal journey. It took about nine weeks to write and sold out in ten days. It was published by the North Brisbane College of Advanced Education where Stefanie later taught. In 1978 the Carseldine Campus asked her to head their publishing program. The journey of a poet began with Stefanie Bennett handwriting on bits of paper and in notebooks. She churned out up to seven poems a day. Piles of notebooks still remain as part of the décor!

Stefanie and Thomas Shapcott at Malenys’ Celebration of Books

“The first poem I ever sent off was to The Australian newspaper. Rodney Hall was the editor and he took them. I thought it was that easy and so I sent stuff out everywhere! “Around that time I got to meet Judith Wright. We just got on brilliantly. If it hadn’t been for her I don’t know if I’d gotten this far. It was because she totally believed in me.” As Stefanie’s career thrived, the Institute of Modern Languages at James Cook university in Townsville engaged her as a remote tutor. “I did long distance tutoring from a caravan here in Maleny. People sent me their work. I would record comments on tape and send it back.” Music always hung around Stefanie’s life like a close friend. From the early beginnings with her Sicilian grandfather the young woman with a big voice explored this talent. “I had a guitar and used to play it up the back of the wood pile. I taught myself chords. There was this band that formed…it didn’t have a name. I went along with one or two chords and we made a lot of noise. “I sang the odd solo spots in Townsville and was invited to the folk club. It was there I was given a nylon string guitar and learned the difficult Finger Picking Blues and Syncopated Bass forms of the traditional players now long gone. Then I became Sandy the Folk Singer!” The author of around twenty books of poetry (a few shared with fellow poets) Stefanie Bennett stands among her peers and friends such as Judith Wright, Thomas Shapcott and Oodgeroo Noonuccal, formerly known as Kath Walker. The colourful character that is Stefanie Bennett has etched out a path and left her mark along the way. “I’m quite happy the way I am. I’m not your typical kind of poet, I never have been,” she adds with bravado! Stefanie has also been nominated by the Provo Canyon Review in the uSA for the Pushcart Award. She recently published yet another book of poetry, ‘The Vanishing’ is available at Maleny Bookshop.

Parrots

in paradise

There is something for everyone on the Hinterland. From grape stomping to open gardens, slam poetry to artisan markets. And, in Glass House village, ornithological fans can visit Parrots in Paradise - an oasis of colour, beauty and bird song. Dale Jacobson enjoyed learning more about this sanctuary and the special people who run it.

HINTERLAND TIMES – APRIL 2016

AIL MALINS HAS had a long association with parrots. “When I was 21, I lived next to a big parrot breeder in New Zealand. I helped hand-rear the babies. I learnt a lot.” Dail has turned her passion into a stunning attraction in the village of Glass House. I sat with Dail and her husband, Mark Skudder, beside a rainforest-clad island, enjoying a cuppa, as “Beauty”, “Whoppa” ( both eclectus parrots) and other brightly plumaged parrots crawled around their shoulders, chatting in all-too-humanlike voices. It was a very laid-back atmosphere. I soon realised that every one of their show birds has a name, and each one responds when they are called.

Dail and I, accompanied by Whoppa, walked across a little bridge (built by wwoofas) onto the island. “My 87-year-old mother is responsible for all of this planting,” said a proud Dail. When the two women found the 1¼-acre property in 2007, the island was a dump with old tyres, bits of metal and all sorts of rubbish. It has taken a huge amount of work to bring the property to the paradise it is now. “We wouldn’t have survived without, firstly, the wwoofas, and then the ‘Work for the Dole’ people. They have been brilliant,” explained Dail. With 400 birds to feed and care for, Dail and Mark need all the help they can get. Moving to the property meant that they could build permanent aviaries and establish a “Birdatorium” (Dail chuckled at the unique title she bestowed on the entertainment area) where the birds perform tricks. “Parrots are most intelligent birds, particularly the Alexandrines. They love to play, so we

incorporate this playing into our shows. We never ask them to do anything they don’t enjoy, and we always use the reward system, never punishment.” Seventy-five per cent of the birds are “surrendered” birds. Mark showed me a Major Mitchell’s cockatoo that someone had left on their doorstep. He became quite emotional. “We found this beautiful bird in a tiny cage in the hot sun outside the gate. How could someone do that?” They cared for him, which included preening his comb, a job normally performed by a mate. The birds’ diet consists of mostly fruit and veg, a task that is carried out by the dozen or so young people who work there. “We need good quality food to keep them at their best”, explained Dail. “People think they can get rid of their spoiled fruit, but if it isn’t fit for human consumption, it’s no good to us.” They have lots of passion fruit vines growing over arched walkways (the birds eat up to 80 passion fruit a day) and are very grateful to the Matilda Fruit Barn, who show support by offering discounts. Dail took me for a walk through the different sections. The Sanctuary was a sad sight. This is where rescued birds come first, after being cleared by a vet to make sure no virus enters the premises. “We have to be so careful”, said Dail. “Any disease would spread like wildfire.” It made me appreciate why I had to wipe my feet on a cleansing mat when I entered the premises. Some birds are so stressed from the lives they lived previously that they continually pluck their feathers. Most

birds are rehomed from this section. We then walked into the “Freedom Flight” area. What a tonic after the Sanctuary. Elvis and Cilla, two red-tailed black cockatoos, spread their magnificent wings and tail feathers just for me. A pale green Alexandrine landed softly on my shoulder and whispered something in my ear. Brilliant pheasants wandered around a pool of goldfish. I’m not a real animal person, but I was enchanted by the trust these birds showed in we humans. Before I left, Dail selected an Alexandrine parrot, Kelele, to perform tricks for me. He danced around, placing shapes into holes, tossing tiny rings onto a tiny post, then rode a parrot-sized skateboard pulled along by Dail. We all applauded, and I swear Kelele took a bow. Dail has just returned from a trip to New Zealand where she visited the Ngatea Water Gardens. “I got so many ideas at that place. They had lots of signs, very amusing signs. They appealed to my sense of humour. I can’t wait to put some of them around here.” Parrots in Paradise has reached the point where it is fully stocked, which is a problem, as people continue to bring birds they no longer want. “We have reached the stage where we really need help”, said Dail. “We do all of the building ourselves, but would appreciate any donations of wood, tin, metal … materials we can use to improve things for our birds. Of course, if anyone wants to volunteer, they would be made MOST welcome.” From the welcome I received, I am sure they would. Further information: www.parrotsinparadise.net

ian hansen:

passing The baTon From supply teaching to broken bones to throwing out poker machines, Ian Hansen has been far from ‘pottering’ since his retirement. Dale Jacobsen interviewed the now ex-chairman of the Maleny Bowls Club and found a man who likes to shake things up for the better.

SK IAN HANSEN what means most to him in life, and he will answer, “Sport, teaching and family; but not necessarily in that order”. For most of his life, sport and school have been inextricably linked. “I’ve had a crack at everything from representing Queensland in hockey during primary school to being Queensland convenor for secondary school boys’ cricket. “I remember once when I organised a match against Sydney—there were two young fellas, Mark and Steve Waugh. They didn’t make any runs over the three-day test.” Ian was also Queensland selector for hockey and cricket and he played A-grade rugby league as an adult. Then there’s golf …

Ian and his wife, Jenny, moved to Maleny in 1996 when he officially retired as a high school maths and science teacher in Maryborough. He began pottering around the yard and joined the Maleny Bowls Club, determined to make the most of his new-found retirement. “I thought I was going to live a quiet life, but then I ended up doing supply teaching at all the schools around the Range.” Ian is a very social person, and it was no surprise when he became bowls club chairman—a position he held for the next 14 years. “I didn’t set out to be chairman,” said Ian, “but no-one else was prepared to take it on. Each year, as elections rolled around, I found myself putting my hand up again.”

In those heady days of keen bowlers, the greens were full on playing days. “I had to wait two years before I could get a place on the team for Jackpot Pairs, the club was in such good shape,” Ian explained. However, as the older members passed on or left the district, membership began to dwindle. “We knew we had to do something to turn things around, so the board made risky decisions to attract new players.” Over the past five years, Ian has overseen considerable changes to the club, not all of which were greeted with

enthusiasm from the members. In 2011, the installation of an artificial green heralded the end of an uncertain playing surface. “We are right next to the Obi Obi so, among other things, the chemical runoff from a turf green had to be considered”, said Ian. “I also made the decision to get rid of the poker machines, for which I held the licence. They were outdated and I felt they detracted from the atmosphere of the club.” All of Ian’s activities came to an abrupt halt in December 2013 when he was involved in an horrific car crash. “The car was a write-off, and so was I. The doc didn’t think I’d make it.” With so many broken bones and months in hospital, Ian had to learn to walk all over again. But he did recover, was awarded life membership of the Maleny Bowls Club in 2013 and continued to win club championships. This year, with membership increasing almost weekly and the club once again in good shape, Ian felt it was time to hand over the role of chairman to Warwick Moody, and the role of provedore to new member, Jim King. “The club is thriving, now that we have lights installed and can run twilight bowls for the Obi Barefooters Social Bowls group”,

said Ian. “It’s attracting younger players and is the shot in the arm the club needed.” I asked Ian how it felt, after holding the reins for so long, to just be an ordinary bowler once again. “Relief. I no longer need to be at the club at eight o’clock in the morning to open up, arrange the float, prepare the bar. I also did three or four evening shifts each week behind the bar. “Of course, I will still help out when needed. And I have to say Jenny is extremely pleased! I can now spend time getting the yard back in order, and with the grandkids. We have new twins born a few months ago.” “And the future of Maleny Bowls Club?” I asked. “Current conditions indicate it augurs well for the future.”

EW CHAIRMAN, Warwick Moody, has no doubt that the fresh vibrant atmosphere at Maleny Bowls Club is a result of implementing a social bowls program. “A Bowls Queensland administrator has asked us if they can come and see the Obi Barefoot Bowlers in action on a Wednesday night. They are excited to know that there is a possible way forward for struggling clubs. We owe so much to Ian Hansen, who has devoted a large part of his life over the

past 20 years to the club.” Warwick, along with the new board, declares: “Watch this space; we have big plans!”

Fighting for love

- an anZac Day sTory

As we commemorate ANZAC Day on April 25, the country is focused on Australia's involvement in the first World War. For HT writer, Gay Liddington, ANZAC Day holds a personal tie. Her piece brings home the pain of recent conflicts in our history.

a position with the Department of Military Intelligence. I continued to live in barracks at Duntroon. Life at the college was like living on another planet. There was a time when the lower rank soldiers were enlisted to take part in war games, essential training for the officer cadets. We dressed like Vietnamese people and were taken out bush. Crawling through underground tunnels we embraced our roles as the enemy. At the time, I didn’t fully comprehend what was really happening, I was just glad to be part of it all and was having a great time. In 1970 I married a Vietnam Veteran who had just completed two tours of duty. They were tough times as we didn’t have the skills or support to deal with the aftermath of the war. We lasted nine years but in a way did survive the conflict. Forty-seven years on we remain friends, support our children and enjoy regular extended family gatherings. I wrote the following piece in 1987, eight years after my husband and I separated.

T WAS ANZAC DAy, 1969. The Canberra War Memorial was the venue for a combined services event to honour Australia’s returned servicemen and remember those who did not return. I was eighteen years of age and a soldier in the Women’s Royal Australian Army Corps and had been chosen to represent the Army on this significant occasion. I, and representatives from the Navy and Airforce, ceremoniously raised the flags. I remember feeling extremely proud. As a young person I’d never had any thoughts about service life, however, one day I saw an advertisement about joining the Army. I soon found myself heading from North Queensland to Sydney. It was my escape from a troubled home. After completing six weeks of basic training in Sydney I was posted to the Royal Military College, Duntroon in Canberra. The Army provided me with a place to call home… safety, security, an education, and a set of rules. The structured communal aspect of barrack life was like being in a family. I began my army working life cleaning the sergeants and officer’s quarters, then graduated to managing the switchboard at the college. The next step was a clerical course in Sydney and from there was posted to Canberra into

LOVE versus VIETNAM Perhaps it was the khaki uniform that lured my heart, or maybe because you were tall, dark and handsome…the fairytale idea of a young woman’s fantasy. The year was 1970 and there we were. You, scarred from the battlefields of Vietnam and me, scarred from the battlefields of home. We collided and set in motion a sequence of events from which we would create a battlefield of our own. Our marriage became a minefield and one blind step after another would result in explosions that left us wounded and

even more scarred. There were recurring bouts of malaria and the inflamed skin rashes that erupted in the middle of the night. Sleep recreated the scenes of your torment and your muscled body smothered mine; you clung like a frightened child clings to its mother. I tried to understand. When we drove past the hospital you were reminded of former comrades who survived the war only to come home and suicide, or be banished to psychiatric wards for an eternity. Conjuring a smile you told of orphans with their narrow eyes and wooing glances to whom you and your friends became part-time keepers. Then, with tears brimming, you told how you returned from a mission to find your charges slaughtered. How can I understand this pain… a pain I have never experienced and can’t imagine. Your middle-class suburban upbringing didn’t prepare you to kill your fellow man; didn’t prepare you for the scenes of watching your mates die; didn’t prepare you for a homecoming to an indifferent society. Your outward scars are visible but there are inward wounds that remain… opening and weeping. Repeatedly I heard stories of the ‘good times’, the parties, the drinking - the endless drinking. The war is over, when will the charade end? We played mind games on the minefield of our marriage…

me, with my insecurities, clinging, wanting you to live only for me. And you, with the bloody scenes trapped in the confines of your mind. You wanted to let go but didn’t know how. I had to let go instead. How could we build a marriage in the steaming jungles of Vietnam? Our love, like a rosebud severed and without water, withered and died before it reached full bloom. Vietnam won…and I was only nineteen.

Dularcha Rail Trail

Trail entrance from Landsborough

by Gay Liddington

D

uLARCHA NATIONAL PARK rail trail runs between Landsborough at the southern end and Mooloolah for a distance of 3.2km. It is known as the tunnel track. The original line officially opened forty years prior to being discarded in 1932. The concrete lined 100 metre tunnel constructed in 1890 was a labour-intensive venture. Today it serves as a reminder of a time when such monoliths were raised up by unsophisticated machinery, horse and manpower. My husband and I set out on the walk from Mooloolah. It was a comfortable, short stroll on flat terrain to the heritagelisted tunnel. Fragments of history lay beside the trail. A length of rail bordered the road and a rusty spike found. Along the way we relished in being skirted by the dry sclerophyll forest. Flooded gums that would have witnessed steam trains of a bygone era stood tall. Raindrops, pooled on leaves, dripped onto the forest floor while a diverse array of birds entertained. On entering the narrow-gauge tunnel we soaked up its history imagining trains overflowing with passengers who enjoyed the vista of a magnificent forest. For me it brought back memories of childhood train trips, the excitement of an

approaching tunnel and warnings not to lean out of the window. The tunnel is known to have a low reverberation pitch and so we tested it out and decided it would be a great space for an acappela experience. After our walk we called into the local hardware store where retail assistant, Nathan Peake, told of his rail trail experiences. “When I was at Mooloolah State School our whole grade went on an excursion to the tunnel. We learnt about its history and the bats that hang out there. When we got back into town we had lunch at the Historic rail spike found fish and chip shop. It was a lot of fun. “I also used to play hide and seek with friends and it’s a great bike ride. My mates and I ride through to go to the bakery in Landsborough,� Nathan added obviously remembering treats devoured at the end of the ride. I highly recommend the Dularcha rail trail for an enlivening experience. It is advised to walk, ride a bicycle or enjoy a

horse ride along this route in daylight hours and with a companion. There are no toilets or water along the trail so come prepared. The northern end Mooloolah access is via Dorson Drive, or pedestrians and cyclists can take a more direct path on Paget Street. The Myla Road, Cunningham Avenue route gives access from Landsborough.

Introducing country Kitchens

T

HE QuEENSLAND COuNTRy Women's Association has joined forces with the Queensland Government’s Healthier. Happier. campaign to encourage a positive approach to wellbeing. Country Kitchen facilitators, Judy Stubbs and Marlene Hankinson, are hosting a Tupperware demonstration at 2.30pm on April 16 at 792 Landsborough Road, Maleny. "All funds raised will be used to sponsor the youth of Maleny, enabling them to attend hands-on nutrition workshops as part of this program," says Judy. "you can buy a ticket in the raffle and join in on a Decorated Hat competition with a fruit or vegetable theme." QCWA Maleny and Beerwah Branches are sharing a hands-on nutrition workshop, from August, and there will be another in Nambour. The aim of QCWA Country Kitchens is to support people living in regional, rural and remote Queensland to improve their health by adopting healthier eating practices.

The program is being rolled-out by accredited nutritionists who will travel to at least 80 communities from late 2015 to June 2018, making regular visits to provide a series of five interactive nutrition workshops. The end result? Members will be able to support their community in preparing and eating healthy nutritious food. Be sure to RSVP by April 14 to Judy 5435 8140 or Marlene 5494 2132.

renovations and a new Head chef for secrets S

ECRETS ON THE LAKE Café introduce their new Head Chef, Mathew Law. Debbie Blackley says, "He has been working here for over 12 months and has some great fresh ideas." The business also welcomes new front-of-house and team members, and they all have a brand new workplace! Owners George and Aldy Johnston are delighted with the renovation, which includes the upstairs private residence. Debbie gave HT's Michelle Gilmore the grand tour of the beautiful big laundry and George's corner with his gorgeous roses he prepares each day for diners. Mathew shows off the expanded kitchen - with new stove, hotplate, grill and combi oven - and says "it halves the cooking time!"

The Gallery has been restrung, which has opened up the fabulous views of Lake Baroon out the big picture windows. "Many people request to be seated in the gallery because it is air conditioned in summer, and protected in winter. It also works as a mini-function room," explains Debbie. With lunchtime weddings in their Lake House, evening receptions and the café's breakfasts and lunches - the team are certainly kept busy! They don't like turning people away - so do book ahead on 5478 5888 - especially on weekends so they can guarantee you a table. Mathew is working on an innovative winter menu, look out for it from May 19, open Tuesday to Sunday – 9am to 4pm.

“Anything with an engine” by michelle Gilmore

… is What lathan harmston says they will fix at montville auto. “i tried to get away - i did communications, but went straight back to mechanical - any form!” lathan and his sister Cherie Withers set up shop with their partners, taking over the business last october. "We grew up as mining brats in workshops," said lathan. rejoined Cherie, "i cut my teeth on a greasy spanner." as a little tike, latham was given his first motorbike and promptly pulled it apart, "i had to learn to put it back together." a truck mechanic by trade, he worked all over Queensland surface and underground mining, then moved to Central West africa to work on drill rigs, "We built and ran a drilling company from scratch", where he met his wife Katy and returned to australia, and worked for motorhome Conversions in slacks Creek. Cherie's husband, Barry, worked with KC Farm equipment in Yatala before servicing hastings deering Caterpillar equipment in mt isa, doing field service. Both Cherie and Katy worked in offices, so share computer work, collect ordered parts, run the books and the "meet and greet" Fridays. now the brother /sister duo are following their dad's footsteps, with their own business, and Cherie says, "our motto is 'all things mechanical'." and they mean anything! Car, bikes, jet-skis, farm equipment…."if it comes in off the road, we'll fix it. if you call us up, we'll come and assist roadside, mid-field, swamp." lathan jokes. "We'll do a full log book or basic servicing, a roadworthy, safety inspections with door-to-door pick and drop off."

Under their shed are a dodge desoto, '83 denning bus/motorhome, lathan’s Charger and dogs Jack, sparrow, Baxter and aku. i asked how it was working with your sibling, said Cherie, "We didn’t see each other whilst lathan was overseas, now we see each other every day!" and the response since they have taken on the business? "We're pleasantly surprised how busy we are. there's lots of repeat customers, which is what we like," said Cherie. and what do their parents think? "they love it, dad pokes around and has a look at the new tools," lathan smiles. Give montville auto a call on 5442 9413 or visit them at 12 Balmoral road, montville.

New shop opens at Mayfield! Montville’s Mayfield Centre is celebrating the opening of a brand new shop called ‘Expressions Of Interest’. “This is now the 9th shop in the centre,” said John Hargreaves. “We are very pleased with the selection of unique and interesting retailers that we have here at Mayfield on Montville.” ‘Expressions Of Interest’ is an eclectic collection of homewares with a ‘kitchen’ and ‘homemaker’ theme. This adds yet another style to the range of retail stores in the Mayfield Centre which already includes shops such as The Candle Shoppe, Belle Beauty & Fragrance, Goundrey Menswear, Ant Collection Ladies Fashions, Illume Creations, Hill Top Toes and Mayfield Galleries. “The Hinterland offers shoppers something different to the usual,” said Brigitte Schiffer. “Many customers comment that it is wonderful to see ‘different’ shops rather than all the familiar retailers that are in all the big shopping complexes. Expressions Of Interest is located at Shop 1, Mayfield Centre, 127 Main Street Montville. There is plenty of parking underneath the building and trading hours are from 9.30am to 4.30pm every day. Phone the shop on 5478 5747.

Manager Emma Bonk and owner, Carol Elms, announce Chic and Sassy opens in Maleny

Chic and Sassy comes to Maleny

C

arol elms says it was a lifetime dream for her and her husband vern to live on the range. she always thought it would be in a B&B - instead she ended up in fashion. after a recent move from Gladstone, she purchased Chic and sassy Boutique saying, "the opportunity arose and we took it!" store owner for eight months - she says it has been a phenomenal success. so much so, when Birdy came up for sale in maple street, she decided it would be perfect for Chic and Sassy Maleny. the affordable collection appeals to locals and tourists alike. "We were asked by many maleny-ites, please can you open up with your lovely fashion in maleny?" and Carol was no stranger to building

hen BarUnG landCare met in 1996 to discuss a proposal to run an event called From Chainsaw to Fine Furniture Wood Expo, nobody envisioned just how successful it would be. nobody dreamt that it would become a major event on the sunshine Coast and one of the most significant wood shows in australia. twenty years later, the maleny Wood expo is a highlight of the national woodworking calendar, recognised by woodworking magazines and universally loved by the ‘woodies’ themselves - the woodworkers who flock to maleny each year to participate. the expo attracts some of the best wood artisans in se Queensland and is one of the few wood shows where members of the public can access – and share ideas with - the wood artists, themselves. the Wood expo is the brainchild of ashley sewell, a 25+ year veteran of the department of natural resources and mines. ashley, a Queensland forester and passionate landcare supporter, was way ahead of his time: what he knew back then about the value of our native forests has become widely recognised today.

this ethos is one of the reasons for the success of the Wood expo: we must be careful with our resources in general, and we must use our timber resources sustainably. in keeping with that ethic, expo exhibitors must use sustainably sourced, salvaged or recycled native timbers, or weed timbers. according to mr sewell, “the expo also promotes the farming of trees as an economically viable alternative land-use with considerable environmental benefits. sustainable timber propagation can address land degradation issues like land slips – common up on the Blackall range – and increases habitat for native fauna.” a farm forestry consultant for many years, ashley believes that “the Blackall range is the perfect environment for farm forestry and is ideally suited for boutique sub-tropical rainforest species. “the Barung landcare nursery will have an extensive display at the Wood expo with a great range of suitable tube stock available for boutique farm forestry, as well as for suburban habitat plantings,” he says. But, Farm Forestry is only a small part … the expo tells the whole ‘wood’ story. the mobile millers will be out in force, demonstrating their skills at the expo. these sawdust clad men turn ‘nuisance’ trees and timber that would otherwise be

furniture artisans, the toymakers, the musical instrument makers, the outdoor furniture makers, the makers of everything ‘wood’ that you can imagine! the beauty and craftsmanship of these exhibits truly defies the imagination. For visitors who want to get their hands in the sawdust, the expo is a great place to either refine your skills or be initiated into the joys of woodworking - with a range of popular workshops along with some new surprises. “We want the 2016 maleny Wood expo to be a fantastic celebration of Barung landcare’s 20 years of promoting sustainable timber use,� says mr macleish, “and we are working hard to make sure it will be a great day out for the whole family. “We’d love you to come and celebrate with us.� The Maleny Wood Expo is proudly supported by the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland, as well as the Sunshine Coast Council and Visit Sunshine Coast.

Toy Boys OF THE

BLACKALL RANGE This is a tale of a group of people whose carpentry skills and generous natures have made them the Toy Boys of the Range - a respected misnomer perhaps, as their group consists of both men and women, crafting beautiful toys from wood for disadvantaged children. You can see the Blackall Range Woodcrafters Guild (‘Woodies’) in action at the Maleny Wood Expo.

t’s morninG tea BreaK time when i arrive. roughly fifteen men and women are enjoying a cuppa and doing their monthly raffle. Within minutes i have a mug of tea and ticket (i didn’t win), such is the relaxed, convivial atmosphere here. i am introduced to hamish Borthwick with his resonant voice and big smile, and he clearly knows and loves this place as he shows me around and introduces me to the ‘Boys’: don meredith, hugh mcKenna, phil english, Gerry Zwart, russ middlecourt and rohan arnold. phil shows me his current project, racing cars and tractors. “We usually make multiples of a design, as it’s much easier to cut out 50 than just one or two.” the sleek car he holds has just had wheels attached and will soon be painted. “this is my Grandson’s design,” he tells me. “he drew the outline, just like that. We went to the shed

together and made it. “i brought it in and showed the guys, and they said ‘Jeez, that’s great. You can make a couple of hundred!’” phil also shares his ‘quality control’ method for toys. “i give a new toy i’ve made to my grandson – if it lasts 48 hours we can start making it here.” the toy Boys make at least 1000 pieces each year, which are given to the salvation army. “they are in a better position to know where the toys will do the most good,” says hamish. “We make sure the toys don’t have pieces that can fall off and be swallowed,” don tells me, as he shows me a row of handcrafted planes, tractors, and pull-along animals. “Yes, and as an ex-sub-mariner and engineer, don wants everything watertight!” jokes hamish. he then adds, “don makes superb toys. he is excellent.” phil is serious for a moment as he tells me, “You know something though, as much as we love doing this, we do collectively miss the look on the kids’ faces. “We would love to see the face of a child who never gets anything, receiving one of these toys.” don continues, “it’s not a one-way street for the children

though. We train newcomers in woodworking through this, and they very quickly pick up skills and use the equipment. they learn a lot in a short time.” “We have men and women from all over and all professions here. most are retired, but some are younger,” shares phil. “We have ex-surgeons, dentists, vets, carpenters, farmers, sound engineers… it’s good for camaraderie and skills.” We walk over to hugh who is fixing wheels to a sleek Batmobile-style car. “hugh makes the most delightful show pieces as well,” says phil. “trucks with roller doors, fire engines, scaled-down models of cranes which work perfectly. he won the ‘Grand Champion’ of the club last year, over everyone.” “and it’s not just us who do this, other members contribute here and at home,” hugh adds. as hamish guides me around, i am surprised at the large size of the ‘shed’, and learn there are hopes to expand, as ‘Woodies’, now in its 20th year, has over 200 members plus tools, machines and wood to accommodate. all machinery and commercial equipment is bought by the club through members’ fees, and the donated wood is sold to members for their use.

Welcome to Woodies!

“We have some trade-qualified members who train everyone up, then people sign up to come in on different days for turning, joinery, toys, carving, and training on saturdays,” hamish explains. i see a notice on the board for ‘turning a pepper mill’ and ‘turning a table lamp’ run by ivan Yaksich. “his wood turning skills are exemplary.” aside from the toy Boys, other members’ work is displayed in montville Woods, montville and other hinterland galleries. From delicate works of fine art, to chess boards, to tables. “We also have a stall at the maleny expo,” says hamish. “it’s a joy to be a part of it.” the others agree. “We sell furniture, a few toys, spoons, plates, all sorts. hamish does well there with his wood-turning,” phil shares. “and a lot of people join the club after coming to the expo.” so where does all the wood come from? “a large amount comes from G James Glass & Aluminium in Kunda park, who

give us their off-cuts. every other thursday i bring the wood up, which also saves them dumping it, so we are being green.” several huge camphor laurel were also recently cut down by nambour hospital and they donated the wood to the club. the following day, i follow hamish to Kunda park and meet the G James team involved. Clinton ostrofski warmly shakes my hand and tells me how things began, as wood is loaded into hamish’s Ute. “about 12 years ago, a guy from palmwoods used to come here to get off-cuts for his packing boxes. he introduced the Blackall range Woodcrafters to us, and we began giving them off-cuts too. it’s just kept on going from there!” “i thought it was important for you to see the whole picture. that’s why i wanted you to meet this great bunch,” hamish grins as we say our goodbyes. the toy Boys are a true asset to the community, inviting people to learn skills and be creative, whilst supporting those who need it; in turn, the community gives back to this worthy crew and club. it’s a happy balance - long may it continue and thrive.

When i paint i am immersed in worlds of my making that resemble places i know that have particular emotional resonances for me.� “We are thrilled to have Karen as our feature artist for april,� said gallery director, Joan page. “this is only the second time we have featured Karen as our special “artist of the month� and already she is becoming one of our most popular artists. “i feel profoundly connected to the rhythm of the seasons and the sights, smells and sounds of the land. this is what i hope to convey in my paintings. i want viewers to understand what it means to love the land and to be challenged by it. “it is my hope that when people view my work it enables them to start imagining and weaving their own stories and memories.� open daily from 10 to 5, montville art Gallery is located at 138 main street, montville, opposite the village Green.

Talking to my Country

The Midnight Watch

Stanley

by Stan Grant

by David Dyer

by Colin Thompson

an extraordinarily powerful and personal meditation on race, culture and national identity. in July 2015, as the debate over adam Goodes being booed at aFl games raged and got ever more heated and ugly, stan Grant wrote a short but powerful piece for the Guardian that went viral, not only in australia but right around the world, shared over 100,000 times on social media. his was a personal, passionate and powerful response to racism in australian and the sorrow, shame, anger and hardship of being an indigenous man. “talking to my Country” is that rare and special book that talks to every australian about their country - what it is, and what it could be. it is not just about race, or about indigenous people but all of us, our shared identity. direct, honest and forthright, stan is talking to us all. he might not have all the answers but he wants us to keep on asking the question: how can we be better?

david dyer's astonishing novel the midnight Watch is based on the true story of the ss Californian, the ship that saw the titanic's distress rockets and yet, unfathomably, did nothing. sometimes the smallest of human failings can lead to the greatest of disasters. on a wretchedly cold night in the north atlantic, a steamer stopped in an icefield sees the glow of another ship on the horizon. Just after midnight the first of eight distress rockets is fired. Why did the Californian look on while the titanic sank? Based on true events, the midnight Watch is at once a heart-stopping mystery and a deeply knowing novel – about the frailty of men, the strength of women, the capriciousness of fate and the price of loyalty. Beautifully written, readers will be captivated with this tale of the night the titanic sank and the mystery surrounding it.

From the creator of “Fearless” comes a new canine tale. 'it was very quiet in stanley's house. there were no brothers or sisters, no dads or grannies, not even a cat, a budgie or a goldfish. stanley lives with his human, Gerald, and Gerald's mum. life is peaceful, but sometimes stanley feels quite lonely ... But then one day another dog steals his favourite red rubber ball at his park, and sets in motion a chain of events that will change stanley's life forever. With thompson’s quirky illustrations, stanley is a wonderful book with a beautiful message.

Lead balloon A

NOTHER OF MALCOLM TURNBULL’S thought bubbles has collapsed like a lead balloon.

our prime minister’s bold back-to-the-future plan (back some 74 years, in fact) has been rejected within 48 hours, as soon as the premiers realised that it was not an april Fool’s day joke. and it was hardly surprising. When turnbull announced what he called the most fundamental tax reform in generations at the penrith panthers car park, without warning, detail or documentation, it was never going to be taken seriously. and even the hapless treasurer, scott morrison, once again caught short by his leader, said it was just speculation: he was certain that turnbull had not intended to imply that state taxes could actually rise. But all that showed that morrison was not only out of the loop, he was just about round the twist. if taxes did not increase, then what was the point of the exercise? Was it just to be churn, duck-shoving the responsibility from one jurisdiction to another without doing anything to solve the looming crisis threatening hospitals and schools? the idea, such as it was, appeared to be that the states would have to become responsible for finding their own funds, however they chose to do so. that, at least, seemed to be what turnbull was saying; he even foreshadowed the proposal that the commonwealth would abandon the public state school system entirely, and would only give money to the private schools, the ones he and his cronies inhabited. he was worried, he said, that the state sector might compete unfairly with the bastions of privilege, the ones that sometimes declared multi-million dollar profits. the optics were appalling, and turnbull never tried to pursue his case. and in any case the scheme never got that far; the premiers had already declared it a sh*t sandwich and consigned it to the waste disposal unit – or, as turnbull more delicately put it, there was no consensus so the proposal was withdrawn. instead, the premiers accepted a few urgently required bucks to get on with, and agreed to talk about a regular

allocation of tax revenue from the commonwealth, instead of the grant system hat currently prevailed. this would not make them financially independent; they would still have to rely on the grace and favour of successive commonwealth administrations. But it would give them a degree of certainty as they framed their annual budgets, and it would remove the need to beg and plead for ambit claims on their humiliating trips to Canberra. so the premiers could celebrate a win, of a kind; but turnbull is left to try and explain whatever possessed him to try such a reckless and unsaleable suggestion. one possibility is that he was just using it to wedge the premiers: he had made them an offer they could not refuse and when they refused it he could say that they had been given a chance to fix their problems with health and education. if they didn’t like it, then it would not be the commonwealth’s fault; the arguments about the $80 million tony abbott stripped out of the 2014 budget were no longer operative. But the problem with that is that the voters just want results; they want their schools and hospitals, and they are not concerned with which level of government pays for them. in the end, the buck – or, rather, the lack of it – will stop with turnbull and his predecessor to made the commitments in the first place. and this is where all the pontificating and theorising breaks down. academic economists, conservatives commentators and the other deep thinkers in the media may well be worried about vertical fiscal imbalance, and they can produce weighty and sometimes even cogent arguments about the need to reform the federalist system. But the voters, if they think of the issue at all, are just not interested. the fact is that since federation, indeed many years before that, the movement has been inexorably towards more centralism, more uniformity. successive governments decisions and high Court constitutional cases have almost invariably gone in the same

direction: the states have been whittled away, and any attempt at devolution or deconstruction is doomed. any attempt to revive competitive federalism, especially in an age of unprecedented social mobility and global economics, will be not only unpopular but practically unworkable. the aberrations across state borders are irritating enough, but the idea of different taxes to go with the various different statutes would be less of an opportunity than a nightmare. Kevin rudd wanted not to hand the funding of hospitals over to the states but to take over their administration by the commonwealth; in his incarnation as John howard’s health minister tony abbott had the same idea. Both foundered on the grounds of expense and complexity; but how much more daunting would it be to set up eight separate account books to the states and territories to give them the kind of autonomy turnbull was proposing? the imagination boggles, and so did the premiers. Whatever the merits or otherwise of turnbull’s latest brainstorm, the result was a political fiasco, an ignominious defeat. the impression left to the public was of an arrogant and foolhardy captain’s pick, another illustration of the perception that the obscenely wealthy prime minister was more interested in his own agenda than with the legitimate daily concerns of ordinary people. Federation may well be a mess, a long term problem which should, in the long term, be resolved. But it is not an ambush in the lead up to an election campaign which turnbull badly needs to clarify in the short months left to him and his government. and blaming the premiers will simply not hack it. turnbull is the prime minister of the commonwealth of australia, and whatever loopholes the founding fathers left for the states in the constitution, there was one clear directive: if state laws conflict with commonwealth laws, the commonwealth will prevail. For all the lofty talk of consultation and cooperation, it is the prime minister who is the boss. so get on with it malcolm – stop buggering about and start governing while there is still time.

administration officer, Brea shaw, the newest face of maleny Commerce has been visiting maple street business owners and staff to keep the main street parking for customers. Brea explains, "We are still seeing many business owners and their employees parking on the main street. there is a parking problem in maleny which is being discussed, but until we can find a solution, we all need to help out." maple street is a two-hour maximum parking zone, but when staff and owners of businesses use maple street parking for themselves for the day, that's one less spot a customer can use. "if a parking spot is used by customers for on average half an hour, then one parking spot taken by staff or owners is going to lose up to 17 customers over an eight-and-a-half hour day!" she said. discuss this and other issues at the networking Breakfast meetings, held on the second tuesday of each month - the next is hosted by the maleny neighbourhood Centre on april 12.

Sharing is caring

last month, the ht article by Julia peddie (not veronica davidson - apologies) gained a lot of traction. the ‘spare rooms information session’ brought locals together to discuss opening their homes to address the desperate shortfall in the region’s rental accommodation, and help with emergency accommodation (pictured). discussion also included short-term storage and interim pet care for people ‘between houses’. “When people become aware of the crises people are facing, they just want to help. people offer space for different reasons, some owners just want company, others need help with their mortgage or want gardening in exchange” said Julia. the group will hold its first monthly gathering at marketplace Café in maleny from 2-4pm, april 12. people interested in joining a network of housing hosts to be matched with suitable guests are invited to attend. phone angela 0459 495 650, or email juliapeddie68@gmail.com. a new community steering group aimed at finding affordable housing solutions in maleny will meet at mnC from 11.30am-1pm, april 14.

How to Save the Rainforest and while enjoying a Cuppa!

i

n a World in which we are bombarded with images and stories of environmental destruction, it’s all too easy to feel powerless and shut off from how we can make the world a better place. We are however a fortunate generation, in that we can make a real difference to the preservation of our local rainforests and all of the animals that call them home. Best of all you can enjoy the benefits of saving our local rainforests while reclining in the comfort of your favourite chair on your back verandah with a cuppa and a good book! Your backyard is the frontline when it comes to saving our local rainforests. our local rainforests are unique, but they are under threat due to the isolation caused by the clearing for farmland in the past. our rainforest remnants such as mary Cairncross scenic reserve are precious remnants of the great rainforests that once covered large areas of the sunshine Coast hinterland. now to save you some time… while saving the rainforest. too many backyards on the hinterland have too much grass. all of that grass needs mowing, which takes time, uses precious resources and of course contributes to the increase carbon in the atmosphere. as a result of all this

Forest Heart Local Native Plant Nursery 20 Coral st, maleny phone: 5435 2193

grass our local rainforests have become fragmented islands, isolated by oceans of grassland. so here is a win-win situation for the environment and you, the time poor landholder. By revegetating or landscaping with local rainforest plants, we see an increase in the amount of habitat for our local flora and fauna and you reduce the time you spend as a slave to your mower. property boundaries are a good place to start planting, just make sure you don’t pick anything too big or plant too close to the boundary. a strangler Fig planted a metre off the fence line and ripping up foundations and septic systems in the years to come, may not be conducive to neighbourhood harmony! our local rainforests are also home to an awesome range of beautiful and interesting plants that include groundcovers, vines, shrubs and small trees. there are local natives, for all situations, all gardens, even small town blocks! so do yourself and the environment a favour, ask yourself do we realy need all that lawn (and if you decide no), then come and visit us at Forest heart local native plants and hunt down some of our great local rainforest plants and an amazing array of plants from a range of other ecosystems from the coast to mountain tops and from across south east Queensland.

Another Dimension

t

he prolonGed damp weather certainly resulted in good growth, too good in the case of weeds, but also resulted in a few deaths. some young plants, both trees and shrubs, could not cope with too much soil moisture and resulting root damage. it’s all part of the natural cycle but it will probably be best to wait until the weather pattern changes before planting replacements. at least permanent drainage lines will have become evident and provide an indication of the suitability of some plants for that particular site. a delightful result of the prolonged damp weather was the appearance of a large variety of fungi. several Barung members are enthusiastic fungi (singular fungus) hunters and have learned much about these important members of our local ecosystems. visit the Barung website where you will find that each newsletter

Cyathus striatus Bird's Nest fungus contains an article about and photo of, a fungus discovered along a local bush track or growing in a local garden. Fungi contribute to the breakdown of old logs and leaf litter releasing essential nutrients which would otherwise be locked up in non-decaying leaves and other plant material. they form beneficial

partnerships with the roots of gum trees and are important contributors to the nutrition of many orchids and a wide range of wattles and casuarinas. these important mycorrhizal relationships benefit both partners as the plant supplies some sugars and other food materials to the fungus. a lot is going on in the soil around the roots of plants. Fungi, which are not plants, come in all shapes and sizes and are placed in various groups. the fruiting bodies of the macrofungi, which are what we mostly see and think of as ‘mushrooms’ or toadstools’ provide food for small denizens of the forest floor. if you want to try your hand at identifying some of these often colourful fruiting bodies, purchase a copy of Australian Subtropical Fungi by mcmullanFisher, leonard, and Barung member Frances Guard.

I had assessed the tree several years ago and advised at the time that it should be pruned because of its size and proximity to buildings, as the species has a habit of failing in the canopy due to structural problems or extreme weather events.

The species is very popular on the Maleny plateau. There are actually two types, Liquidamber liquid amber, and /LTXLGDPEHU FKLQHQVLV 7KH ¿UVW JHWV the beautiful autumn foliage and is fully deciduous, the second is only semideciduous, and only gets a smattering of fairly non-descript yellow leaves.

Lo and behold, a few months ago several large limbs failed while people were working beneath them. Fortunately no one was injured, but it illustrates the need to maintain your trees in a built environment.

I think Liquidambers look best when viewed from across a body of water, ZKHQ WKHLU UXVVHW KXHV DUH UHÀHFWHG RQ the still surface. Interestingly, we don’t have any native species that produce such a glorious autumn display, and very few that are deciduous, so they do have a place here if you are into formal garden design. .

Now the tree looks good and should be trouble free for the next 8 to 10 years, at which time it will need to be re-visited for a lighter prune.

AT AND MEL Patterson-Gray have added 72 acres to their property, and they are excited! Just back from a trip to India, the land settled before their tour and after a family Christmas visit to Japan. As we sat on their deck, looking out at that green valley, I asked them if they relocated here because of the business. They shook their heads, "Maleny brought us here - the arts, diversity, passion... "We went looking for a business to help us move to Maleny." Kat has always been a fan, riding her motorbike on the tourist track from Brisbane and Mel just "loves the mountains". After a possible development fell through, Mel said, "We walked Mary Cairncross, sat in the café and opened HT. We saw a RE/MAX ad and it said 'Stunning View'. "We took it back to my parents, Pamela and Wally, put it down on the table and said, 'that's our dream!' They are out business mentors," explained Kat. The couple both worked in real estate and renovation, were used to Sydney prices, and thought, "could this really be ours - helping others’ dreams come true?" Nurturing their business with their brilliant team, and support from Hinterland Tourism, work is in progress right now on a fourth cottage - "premier" with an

"opulent interior”. And they even have four alpacas and a "Chook Mahal" for their seven chickens. But they hoped for more. "We sat from day one, looking out seeing the 'for sale' sign next door. We thought, 'maybe we can contact the owners and ask if we could buy in two years time?'” Then they sold their Brisbane student accommodation business, said Kat, "That's what funded that beautiful view. "It's almost two years to the day." Passionate about protecting natural bush, they love the bunya pines, and with help from Land for Wildlife, hope the habitat will help restore a corridor for natives like the Richmond Birdwing Butterfly. Said Mel, "There's a bit of lantana - but if you push through it is amazing - a bit like Mary Cairncross." Modelled from Narrows Escape near Montville, where guests enjoy nature, forest trails and romance, Mel is inspired, "We want to bring that to Witta, and give our guests an adventure." Better still…Kat says, "We get to live here and make other people happy." 547 Maleny-Kenilworth Road Phone: (07) 5435 8410 www.bluesummitcottages.com.au/

Community News Community News Community News Vote for ‘The Glassy’s’ from April 11

Local author talk at Woombye

What are Scrabblers?

Rosetta Books are just one of the businesses that have been nominated for the 2016 Glass House Small Business Awards, known as ‘The Glassy’s’. Andrew Powell, Member for Glass House (pictured with Anne Brown from Rosetta Books) said, "I will be announcing the businesses that have made the shortlist and voting will commence." Although nominations for the first round have now closed, on Monday April 11, members of the public will be invited to cast one vote for their overall favourite business and/or employee in their chosen region before Friday May 6. "All businesses that have been nominated and shortlisted will be invited to attend a Gala Awards night on Monday May 16 to celebrate Queensland Small Business Week (May 16 to 22)," explained Andrew. Working with the region's Chambers of Commerce, there will be a winner announced for each of the the six main business districts - Caboolture, Woodford, Glasshouse, Maleny, Montville and Palmwoods and also a peer choice award, plus one overall winning business and employee.

Award-winning local author, Inga Simpson, will give a talk about her new book Where the Trees Were. Inga will also discuss creative writing and her other two novels Mr Wigg and Nest, the latter shortlisted for the Courier Mail People’s Choice Award and the ALS Gold Medal. Questions and discussion will follow Inga’s presentation, with an afternoon tea sponsored by the Woombye and Districts Community Bank Branch Bendigo Bank. Inga grew up in central west NSW, and began her career as a professional writer for government agencies, before gaining a PhD in Creative Writing in 2011. She now lives among trees in the Hinterland and leads writing retreats, workshops and mentorships. In 2015, Inga was awarded a QLD Literary Fellowship to research and develop a new novel, called Willowman. The talk takes place on Tuesday, April 12 from 1.303pm at the Woombye School of Arts, Lower Hall, Blackall Street, Woombye. To book, please call the Woombye Library, ph: 5442 2250 by April 7. For more information on Inga online, visit www.ingasimpson.com.au

Scrabblers come together to play scrabble every Tuesday, 9am 'til 12ish at Maleny Library. President, Frits Prass, pictured with the lovely ladies, said the group has been going for over 20 years - it started in the late 90s. "It's about fellowship and togetherness, plus an outing for some people. We're always getting new people visiting - there's an average of ten to a session." Sometimes it is so popular, pairs have to move into the library to play. Frits' wife cooks up a delicious morning tea, and Frits puts on the kettle, "They reckon I'm a barista," he jokes. The very social group have all the games, scrabble dictionaries and special member's word lists ready. And you know what they say - exercising the brain is important too. All are welcome - $1.00 a week goes toward equipment and morning tea - so pop in and say hello.

A gift for living

If you’re aged 50-74 you’ll be sent a free bowel cancer screening kit. The kit is simple to use and can detect bowel cancer before any symptoms appear. Around 80 Australians die of bowel cancer every week, but if detected early, up to 90% of cases can be successfully treated. So be sure to complete and return your kit. It’s a gift that could save your life. If you’re over 74 talk to your GP. By 2020 people aged 50-74 will receive a kit every two years.

20% sugary drinks tax

ANE MARTIN from the Obesity Policy Coalition is calling on the Federal Government to implement a 20% tax on sugary drinks.

The UK government announced their 20% tax on sugary drinks last month. "Strong action like this is needed to address the serious and growing health burden of overweight and obesity in this country - particularly in children. Sugary drinks are popular with children and young people, and they are the largest source (around 20%) of added sugar in children's diets. "With one in four children overweight or obese, this is an issue we can't afford to ignore any longer," Ms Martin said.

In the 12 months following the introduction of a sugary drinks tax in Mexico, purchases of taxed beverages had declined by 12%, and 98% of people surveyed were aware of the health impacts. Research in the UK and Australia has estimated that a price increase of 20% on sugary drinks is likely to result in a decrease in consumption of with one sugary drinks and a reduction in population in four children weight.

overweight or obese, this is an issue we can't afford to ignore

An OPC survey into the attitudes of Australian grocery buyers found 85% supported a tax if the revenue was used for programs to reduce childhood obesity.

If Australia follows the UK lead, it encourages beverage manufacturers to reformulate their products to reduce sugar. This action is only one element of a obesity policy - restrictions on unhealthy food marketing to children, an education campaign and food labelling should also be addressed.

implement lasting sustainable practices to ensure the future generations can also enjoy the natural wonder of places such as Montville." The change starts with a single person, the change starts with YOU. So get outdoors - a class is held every Tuesday, 4pm, 396 Western Avenue, Montville - see you there!

Queensland fast-food outlets to label kilojoules

Q

UEENSLAND FOOD businesses have 12 months to comply with a mandatory bill to display the kilojoule content of their food and drinks at point-

of-sale.

Minister for Health and Ambulance Services, Cameron Dick, said the new laws ensured display of kilojoule information was implemented consistently statewide, spelling a win for the health of all Queenslanders. The new laws apply to fast-food chains, bakery chains, café chains and supermarkets, with at least 20 outlets in Queensland or 50 outlets nationwide. The amendments mean kilojoule counts must be

displayed on in-store menus and labels, drivethrough menus, online ordering sites, mobile applications and printed menus distributed to households. One-third of all Queensland adults are eating takeaway food at least once a week, and the new laws will help us make informed, healthier food choices.

Are you feeling fat and fatigued ?

F

EELING overweight as well as a general sense of mental and physical fatigue is a common functional health problem but is easily corrected if you can identify the causes of this unwellness. In fact a tired body combined with one that is storing fat is a sure sign of imbalances in your carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Specifically, this will often relate to certain carbohydrate intolerances. Ask yourself do you have symptoms of Carbohydrate Intolerance such as: • sleepiness after meals • bloating after meals • cravings for sweets or caffeine • hungry a lot • stress easily • feel depressed (non motivated) • feel moody (irritable a lot) • feel unfit. If you find that you fit into this picture, and especially if you are struggling with your weight, you’d be wise to get to the cause of the problems. These are what I find to be the most common causes of the above problems but these have to be diagnosed • toxic liver and gut • blood sugar problems • an overall acidic system • insulin imbalances that set up weight gain and fat storage • nutritional imbalances • hormonal imbalances. Get these causes fixed and your health improves. You start to feel and look great, you lose some weight, and you feel better about yourself. With a Joh n Pir ie bit of work you can’t lose on this investment.

Ayurvedic Health Advice to Suit You The drama of karma

C

ERTAIN ASTROLOGICAL influences have gotten this year off to a changeable and intense start. It can Wendy Rosenfeldt affect everyone in different ways but we are all under the influence of the general trend of the planetary positions. If you felt like tearing your hair out for most of March you were not alone. The time between the solar and lunar eclipses can bring unexpected events and emotional turmoil. Even if we cannot change the trend, understanding the energies the planets bring can help us to navigate through these times with some insight instead of being caught up in the drama of it all. At the same time it is important to take responsibility for our actions and not blame negative behaviour on the position of the moon. It is all our own karma. We have probably all heard the terms. “Whatever you do comes back to you”, and “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”. The study of Astrology is just about understanding when and how our karma will come back to us. It is not as if the planets out there in the solar system are plotting us help or harm. They are just a reference point for understanding our particular karma in this lifetime. Not so different from studying the DNA. Our DNA contains the information about how we will look, likelihood of mental illness, tendencies towards certain diseases, etc. However a genetic predisposition towards cancer need not be a life sentence. The science of epigenetics investigates how these

genetic expressions can be turned on or off depending on our current diet and lifestyle. Studies that followed identical twins with exactly the same DNA structure demonstrated significantly different health outcomes for each twin depending on how they lived and what they ate. So despite our genetic influences there is always room for free will. We arrive in this lifetime with certain physical, socioeconomic and cultural constraints. Seen from the astrological point of view, our present situation is determined by our past actions. However what we do with what we have then sows the seeds of future karma. Even without looking at lives beyond our present one, we can see this, when we have healthy meals, do some exercise and get enough sleep we feel better the next day. Maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise program and meditation practice is even more important when we are going through rough times in our life. Stress, dullness from processed food and lack of sleep will only contribute to short term thinking and poor decision making. Whereas the vitality after a yoga class or the relaxation after meditation helps you to put everything into perspective and face whatever challenges life may be bringing you. wendy rosenfeldt is a teacher of transcendental Meditation and a Maharishi Ayurvedic health practitioner. to attend a free introductory talk on tM or book an Ayurveda consultation call 5499 9580 / 0438 507 188.

Food as Medicine

W

HAT IF WE could change the quality of our health just by changing what we eat? When did we start to think that eating food that is designed to remain edible for months on end or that which is treated with chemicals could be good for our health? Dr patrick Quillin tells us that figs contain a substance called ficin, which the National Cancer Research Institute is currently researching so that they can make a patented drug to include in patients treatments. Yet we can have access to ficin when we eat delicious figs. Mulberries with their beautiful purple color are rich in phytoalexins which is a very powerful anti cancer substance. “Dripping green tea on colon, esophageal, or prostate cancer cells has been shown to reactivate genes silenced by cancer. ... and 3 hours after eating a cup of broccoli sprouts the enzyme that cancers use to help silence our defences is suppressed in our bloodstream to an extent equal to or greater than the chemotherapy agent used specifically designed for that purpose without the toxic side effects” Dr Michael Gregger MD Cinnamon helps balance our blood sugar, honey helps to heal wounds, Dandilion coffee is a tonic for every gland in the body. Plant based diets have been found to lower cholesterol and

dramatically protect against heart disease. Sweet potatoes have strong anticancer benefits. Eating a serving of about 8 Brazil nuts was found to reduce LDL, which is a blood marker for the bad cholesterol that contributes to heart disease by about 20 points within 9 hours after eating the nuts. Further research showed that the this effect lasted even a month later when patients were again measured for their cholesterol. We should not be surprised by the amazing evidence that shows how a plant based wholefood diet positively contributes to the healing of our bodies and often our emotions. However when we have been used to consuming conventional processed foods its often not easy to give them up, patience and persistence together with sound research or guidance by those who understand diet will make the process easier and help guard you against overzealous information that lacks substance and may result in unbalancing your health, as we are now seeing with over consumption of Kale for those who have Thyroid problems.

ADVERTORIAL

why does my child have heel pain? T

HIS TIME OF year with winter sports underway, this is one of the most common questions parents ask us.

Heel pain, caused by calcaneal apophysitis (also called Sever’s disease) is common in physically active children. The condition can be very painful but is only temporary and has no long-term effects. Children will describe pain at the back of the heel where the growth plate has not yet fully developed and calcified. It usually occurs in the period in early adolescence when children grow most rapidly. This growth spurt can begin any time, approximately between the ages of 9-12 in girls and 10-12 in boys. A large tendon, called the Achilles Tendon, joins the calf muscle at the back of the leg, to the heel. Sever’s disease is thought to occur because of a mismatch in growth of the heel bones to the calf muscle and Achilles Tendon. If the bones grow faster than the muscles, the Achilles Tendon that attaches the muscle to the heel gets tight. At the same time, until the cartilage of the calcaneum is ossified (turned into bone), it is a potential weak spot. The tight calf muscle and Achilles Tendon cause a traction injury on this weak spot,

resulting in inflammation and pain. Such stresses result from sports or activities that require a lot of running, jumping and landing, especially on hard surfaces. Examples would include football, netball and track running. The immediate goal of physiotherapy treatment is pain relief. The symptoms will generally worsen during or after activity; so the most important aspect of treatment initially is rest or activity modification. Physiotherapy treatment may include: � Diagnosis of the problem � ‘Hands-on’ therapy - massage, mobilisation, stretches � Taping and learning to tape for sport � Advice about relative rest – what activity, and how much?

The 2016 Sunshine Coast Cross Country Series is on May 8 at Ewen Maddock Dam and May 22 at Maleny Golf Club

� Cold packs for approximately 15 mins after physical activity � Correction of any biomechanical issues, shoe inserts if necessary � Time! Generally the pain will ease, although there may be flare-ups from time to time with growth and increased physical activity. For assessment and management of your child’s heel pain, call Maleny Physiotherapy for an appointment with Tim, Mary or Andrew on 5494 3911.
