S

EEiNG THiS quOTE has coloured my week. Life as an editor, i have just realised, gives me the opportunity to reflect EVERY month about all our Hinterland happenings, but also about life in general.

Why then, almost every time fingers hover on the keyboard, am i moved to tears?

Top of mind is how a dedicated police officer lost his life last week.

Close friends of ours work on the force, and i am so grateful to them and all our local police for what they do for us and our communities.

But i am also grateful to their families, and so saddened by this incident and others across the world where children and parents are permanently torn apart.

When i first heard Phil and Di Wilson's story i was also floored. How could one couple have the capacity to foster and love so many children?

Writer Victoria McGuin said they are incredible, with Phil constantly volunteering and fundraising for Montville State School whilst the kids were there. They manage a day visit to the cinema together maybe once a month, but said it doesn't really matter, because, "We enjoy THEM."

And i thought we were busy!

Well, i was this month. The Catholic Ladies Group truly had 'Australia's Biggest Morning Tea' and i frocked up for a Glassy affair - i think were among the last to leave! i was very grateful for the delicious morsels and Flame Hill's Pinot Gris. Plus lunch and a brekky with various team members when they aren't wandering the country, and organising articles about inspiring locals. in June, there are two extra markets, a country fair, film nights, Maleny Singers latest offering of Mozart, Kenilworth's quilt Show and six gardens to explore at Gardening on the Edge.

School holidays will be here before we know it - and a chance for our four darlings to get used to each other, before another term with big brother and sister away. See? More tears again!

Oh, and one last thing i am grateful for - i don't have to spell “Tibrogargan" every time i'm writing about the electorate!

ALENY HiGH’S Environment Committee have joined up with the SCEC and Stop Adani Sunshine Coast to bring the new documentary Guarding the Galilee to the Montville Hall on Thursday, June 8.

Presenter, queensland born actor Michael Caton, provides information about the proposed Adani mine in the Galilee basin - a proposal that leaves many people both here and around the world perplexed.

Local Maleny student and spokesperson for MHEC isaac Reid concurs: “Why are we funding this massive coal mine when we see a worldwide move to renewables? “if we let this happen we can say goodbye to the Great Barrier Reef and hello to a warmer and more unstable climate with all of the health, environmental and

economic implications.”

Montville Hall will be opening the doors at 6pm for a 7pm free screening with light meals available and a dessert fundraiser for the Maleny High Environment Committee Solar Panel project.

OCAL REFuGEE support group, Welcome to Maleny (W2M), will be hosting a FREE screening of multi award-winning documentary, Freedom Stories (rated PG).

Member, Lou Walsh said, "You can purchase a meal from local foodies, ‘Tashan’; the RSL have a licensed bar, and there is complimentary tea and coffee plus new W2M fairtrade organic cotton T-shirts."

For the last year, W2M has been actively and effectively finding ways to support refugees.

"Last month both the primary and secondary school raised funds for the group to purchase phone cards for people still in detention on Manus island, and to prepare for a second welcome day to visit Maleny."

Freedom Stories, by acclaimed filmmaker Steve Thomas,

Functional yet elegant, handcrafted by experts

explores the achievements and stories of former ‘boat people’ who arrived in Australian waters seeking asylum from the Middle East around 2001.

Locked in remote detention centres, both on and offshore, and then placed on temporary protection visas, their limbo lasted for years.

Now Australian citizens, the people who have participated in this documentary are finally building secure lives and contributing to their new country.

These are ordinary people who found themselves caught up in the extraordinary consequences of political brinkmanship but have long since dropped out of the media spotlight. it is time for their voices to be heard.

Doors opening at 5pm for a 5.30pm start, come help us celebrate Refugee Week 2017 at the Maleny RSL on Saturday, June 17.

THE POWER OF

OVE People can be incredibly kind and generous in their nature, helping restore faith in the human race at times when we really need it. We have many inspirational locals who lift our spirits, including Flaxton couple, Dianne and Philip Wilson, as HT’s Victoria McGuin found out.

Philip and Dianne Wilson have fostered 163 children!

by Victoria McGuin

D

iANNE WAS RECENTLY awarded the ‘Woman of Achievement Award’ by the Zonta Club of the Blackall Range for her 37 years of selflessly fostering children, although according to husband Philip she said, “No-one wants to know that – i’m no different to anyone else.”

Their home in Flaxton shows the care and attention they put into everything. The driveway is framed with flowering shrubs and native plants, a large climbing frame and swimming pool look very welcoming, along with parking spots for scooters, two large trampolines and plenty of flat lawn to run around on. inside the house huge collages of children the couple have cared for over the years adorn the walls, alongside framed photos of family holidays abroad.

Phil and Dianne met in Penrith, when Di was working for Allied Chemicals and Phil joined the company. They laugh at the memory of their first date. “i’d asked Di to go out one evening, and i was accompanying her home from work that afternoon when we saw a house on fire.”

Di continues: “i said, ‘Look at all the fire brigades…’ Then i realised it was my parents’ house!”

“She still went out that night with me.” Phil adds with a grin.

They married 51 years ago in Parramatta and had two children. The eldest was always having chest problems, so the doctor advised moving somewhere warmer. Coffs Harbour was the chosen spot.

“Our son improved almost immediately. ironically, when he was 18 he went to Canberra university and he’s lived in Canberra ever since.”

“We wanted to have more children,” Di tells me, “but i couldn’t; so we looked into adoption. To cut a long story short, just as we were about to adopt a baby girl from Korea the law over there was changed and we were told we couldn’t have her any more.”

The pair were devastated, which is when the Department of Child Services asked if they had considered fostering. Di smiles, “i said, ‘what’s fostering?’ Now, 163 kids later we know what fostering’s about.”

“We’d get calls in the middle of the night: emergencies, drugs, car accidents, family violence. We would foster kids for a day, a month, a year, some would go and come back, others were permanently with us,” Phil says.

“We had one boy who came to us when he was six weeks old for six months – he’s still here and he’s now 33 years old,” Di adds.

Stories they share are heartbreaking. Two children came to them who lived in a packing shed on a dirt floor.

“After de-lousing and cleaning them and giving them fresh clothes, we showed them their bunkbeds” says Di. “it

was winter. They just stared at the beds, then touched them.

One lay on top of the bed and i said ‘you can get in, under the blankets’. i realised they had never got in a bed before.”

Eventually the couple moved to the Sunshine Coast with the idea of retiring and setting up a B&B in Flaxton. “Our kids had left home and we had two permanent children with us, so we thought it was a good time. But then Di was very sick in hospital and it made us rethink whether we really wanted a B&B.” At this time, news of their prolific fostering had reached the Sunshine Coast Department of Child Safety from Coffs Harbour, and they received a phone call asking if they would help again – they said yes.

Twin boys had been abandoned in Nambour Hospital by their mother. Di and Phil took them in; then found out shortly after the boys had a 12-month-old sister living in a car with her mother and father – they fostered her too.

Two years later the Department phoned to say the mother was pregnant again, “So we came and took the child from the hospital,” Phil says.

“A few years later we had another call – the mother was in Sydney now with another baby. The Department said, ‘You might need to think about this, but would you consider another child?’ We said ‘when can we get him?’”

These five children now range in age from 9 – 15. “A few years ago we became their official guardians,” Di says happily. “They want to change their surname to Wilson.”

Sometimes the couple foster a baby while adoption papers are being processed. “We have an old sheet that we hang up when the new parents arrive that reads, ‘Welcome Mummy and Daddy. i’m so pleased to meet you at last!’ One couple pulled up and burst into tears when they saw it.” i ask about funding support. “We receive some,” says Phil, “but we pay for a lot ourselves. Bigger cars to fit everyone in, hospital bills, and we choose to take the kids everywhere we go, even overseas.”

Di continues, “Once they walk in the door they are part of our family, whether for a day or a year or more.”

Phil adds with pride, “All our kids talk about the other kids as their brothers and sisters.”

The day begins with Phil up at 5am making lunches, doing the school run and cooking the meals, whilst Di manages the house, shopping and the later shifts. it sounds exhausting to me, and these two are 70 and 72 years old.

“We stopped fostering after our last baby came because of our age,” Di says. “i’ve got to last nine more years so my youngest will be 18; then his siblings can look out for him when the need arises.”

The many children have flourished under their loving care: university degrees, managerial positions, marriages, one was in the Australian Army for eight years (“i bawled my

eyes out at his induction,” Phil admits), and there are seven grandkids so far. “if you stay on the right track and keep to it, they go in the right direction,” believes Di. Phil agrees, “We just want to give them the right start in life – it’s up to them how they grab it. We’re proud of them all.”

Lucy

Lucy relaxes with Val and Geoff prior to the hospital visit

loves liing spirits

Animals work their magic around us every day, and Labradoodle Lucy is one such creature.

Through her gentle nature and bounding presence, she brings joy and healing to those who most need it at the Maleny Soldiers Memorial Hospital. The effect she had proved a moving experience, when writer Gay Liddington went to spend a day with this wonderful dog.

by Gay Liddington

A

FiVE-YEAR OLD Labradoodle named Lucy plays an integral role in Maleny hospital’s wellness endeavours. Lucy’s temperament and charm, wins hearts and supports the patients’ healing process. it is a testament to the work of the Delta Society and their program, Delta Therapy Dogs. i visited retirees Geoff and Val Bridger of Booroobin and was greeted by Lucy. Her effervescence was like a fountain of happiness. Excited bounds and leaps, a wagging tail and eager eyes demanded my attention.

“At home, she is lively when welcoming guests, barking and jumping up but when we put on her Delta Therapy Dog bandana she’s a different girl. She knows where she’s going and what she’s doing,” said Val. it was the day for Lucy to visit patients at Maleny Soldiers Memorial Hospital. Geoff explained the routine.

“We give Lucy a bath in the outdoor shower and then take her to the bathroom for a special blow dry. This makes her coat nice and soft for the patients.”

Val Bridger has been involved with the hospital’s auxiliary for eight years - the past three as President. it was this connection that led them and Lucy to the Delta Therapy Dogs program.

“Catherine Hunter, social worker at the hospital came to one of our auxiliary meetings. She asked if we would be interested in funding a therapy dog for the hospital.

The response was immediate and unanimous.

“We made enquiries but couldn’t find anyone who had a suitable dog. There’s a waiting list in lots of places for Delta Therapy Dogs,” said Val. On sharing the dilemma with Geoff, he suggested that Lucy, then two years old might be perfect for the job.

“Dogs have to be between two and eight years of age and of a suitable temperament. Lucy was evaluated for hospital visiting but others might be specific to a children’s hospital, an aged care facility or a school,” said Geoff.

Above: Paul Franklin receives healing therapy from Lucy Below: Lucy meets patient Bev Betts for the first time

Val added: “Lucy had demonstrated her suitability to us a few times. At one stage, i’d had surgery on my feet and was in a wheelchair. She showed her concern, licking me and staying by my side. We could see Lucy had empathy and was patient.”

Following Delta protocol Lucy was assessed for suitability.

Val and Geoff then attended a one-day training session. This was geared for a hospital placement. Lucy is assigned through Delta to Maleny hospital. The host organisation pays a fee to the Delta Society.

“We usually visit Maleny hospital once a week and Geoff does the rounds with Lucy. We’ve also taken her to Caloundra hospital. There was a patient who had to give up his dog and was very distressed. Word came to us so we visited him with Lucy. She just seems to relate to people in those kinds of situations.

“We also have to make sure that Lucy is in peak health at all times. She has quarterly pathology testing because she visits an environment where health and cleanliness are paramount. Lucy often gets up on the bed with patients if invited,” said Val. i visited Maleny hospital with Val, Geoff and Lucy. Lucy pulled Geoff along by the lead and sought out staff as we walked the corridor. it was clear to see who was the star as staffers dropped to the floor with enthusiastic greetings while Lucy nuzzled for more.

Then, Lucy heard the familiar voice of Catherine Hunter and bounded down the corridor into her arms. it was like the hospital had come alive with Lucy’s presence.

“Catherine usually facilitates our visits as she is familiar with the patients.

“Regularly there are palliative care patients and some haven’t spoken in a long time.

When we take Lucy in, the person may suddenly start talking to her or to a family member. it gives them something to talk about or brings up a memory.

“Sometimes when we’ve done the rounds Catherine has told us that the person hadn’t spoken or smiled for a couple of weeks but Lucy made a difference,” Val recounted stemming the tears.

“We always try to go into the gym at the end of each visit. They have a lot of rehab patients. There might be a stroke patient working on a machine and trying to lift his arm. i’ll hold Lucy up and because he so badly wants to pat her he’ll just lift his arm without thinking,” shared Geoff.

The hospital rounds led us to the gym.

Lucy checked in with Paul Franklin who asked staff for a biscuit. Paul placed the cracker in his mouth and nose to nose Lucy extracted the treat.

Bev Betts, a patient, met Lucy for the first time. Her demeanour was uplifted by the encounter as she gave Lucy a hug and said, “Dogs know when you are not well and help you when you are sick.”

Social worker, Catherine Hunter summed up the work of Delta Therapy Dogs.

“Lucy and Geoff have been coming to the hospital for about two and a half years and they’ve been remarkable.

They make a huge contribution to the wellbeing of our patients and ultimately help them to get better and leave hospital. it’s a wonderful program. We have tremendous volunteers.” https://www.deltasociety.com.au/

Maleny:

a Town of Books

If you’re searching for a good book, pay a visit to Maleny’s Maple Street. Second-hand bookstores, Rosetta Books and the official Book Crossing Zone in front of the Maleny Credit Union all have something to offer, and writer Dale Jacobsen has been investigating the rise of the town’s love affair with the printed page.

W

ALKiNG ALONG MAPLE Street in Maleny, you may be surprised at the number of thriving book shops for such a small town. Maleny celebrates being “a town of books” rather than a “book town”, and it is important to acknowledge the difference.

Book towns, such as Hay-on-Wye in Wales, originated to stimulate often rural communities, filling empty shops with second-hand and antiquarian books. Maleny’s focus is much wider and maintains a healthy balance of bookshops and readers.

Maleny is well known for the creativity of its citizens, and the reading and writing community is alive and well; but the town has not always had a love affair with books.

in 2001, local award-winning author Steven Lang and his wife Chris Frances lamented the fact that the only place to buy books in Maleny was a second-hand shop.

“We knew nothing about running a bookshop,” said Steven, “but we felt Maleny really did need one. So we did some hard number crunching with the given population and figured we could break even.”

They opened the doors to Rosetta Bookshop in 2001. Not content with just running the shop, the couple staged author events outside business hours and slowly, the flavour of the town changed. After six very busy years, Steven and Chris decided to sell Rosettas, which is now owned by Anne Brown.

started working at Rosettas and took the opportunity to buy the business when it arose. Two years later, i moved to the present position and added a coffee shop. it is a joy to own a bookshop in such a wonderful and creative town. i am proud to be part of a community that can support so many bookshops.”

This year, Rosetta Bookshop was voted by the public for a Bronze in the 2017 Glass House Small Business Awards.

Maleny now boasts four successful bookshops and has its fair share of book clubs too. Over a dozen at last count.

Of course, bookshops would not be in business without authors, and Maleny is well endowed with writers who scribble away in their homes, creating books. Prue Mason wrote her most recent children’s book, Amazing Australians in Their Flying Machines, because of her love of aviation.

“Travel is easy these days but things were different years ago and i wanted to write a book to show how aviation played such an important part in our history. it celebrates the early flyers who put their lives at risk at a time when planes were made from cloth, wire and wood,” explained Prue.

Prue and her husband Kerry, who co-authored the book, own a vintage 1942 Fairchild Argus (flown by women of the Air Transport Auxiliary during WW2). Prue holds a private pilot licence and Kerry has been a training captain with Virgin “since the year dot”. in all, Prue has five books published, including Camel Rider, winner of the queensland Premier’s Prize for Best Children’s Book in 2005, and Birdie in the Sky, winner of the Notable Books Award in 2010.

Not all books fit the traditional published format. Book artist, Fiona Dempster, uses books to create art. “They are more than a scrapbook of images. A good artist’s book provides layers of meaning, often challenging your understanding. i started as a calligrapher and decided that books were the right place for thoughtful and beautiful words.”

Fiona feels books have changed the world. “They are powerful tools in righting injustices, and my artists’ books are a small way of continuing that tradition.” in creating Too Many Poppies, Fiona depicts 42 poppies on each page – the number of Australians who died in Afghanistan. in tiny, undulating handwriting, she has repeated the words “too many poppies, too many deaths” to form a landscape in which the dead are buried.

Recognising how important the book, writing and reading are to Maleny, six years ago a group of reading enthusiasts began a boutique community event, Celebration of Books Maleny, to share their passion.

To be held over the weekend of July 14-16, the event will feature international crime writer, Michael

Two young members of the group approach me and Nicki introduces us. Ellie and Joss are keen to chat, “Hi, this is my compost container,” explains Ellie, “i put holes in the top and bottom, and we feed the worms inside.”

The second cheery face looks up, “My worm is called Muddy!”

“And mine is called Rosie!”

They bound away and i head over with Nicki to meet her co-founder, Vicci Oliver, as she packs up for the weekly walk to the nearby creek. “it’s not as busy as usual,” she tells me. “Most Wednesdays we have about 27 kids here, so you can imagine how that can be!”

The two women met a few years ago, when Vicci was running a ‘natural parenting’ playgroup called Little

Wildlings. “From the moment we started talking, we found we felt the same about so many things,” explains Vicci.

“We were both high school teachers, we both felt a frustration with mainstream education as it stands, and we were wondering where we wanted our own kids to go.”

The pair realised they could create something together. “i didn’t have the option of sending my kids to alternative schools as they were too far or the fees were too high,” says Nicki. “i also wasn’t ready to go back to work full time, so we thought ‘why not try this?’” it took a long while for the duo to find the right place. “We really wanted somewhere with a natural space next to it, as that is fundamental to our philosophy. i don’t know any parent who hasn’t noticed their kids are better outdoors.”

During this conversation, we have been ambling through bush to reach the creek and, affirming Nicki’s point, the children are noticeably calmer as the soothing green canopy envelops everyone, and the relaxing sound of water trickling over rocks reaches our ears.

Tree stumps have been placed in a circle, rugs are laid out and parents settle by the creek as the children play. After a few minutes, Vicci encourages them to the circle where they chat about ‘safety rules’ before she shares the news, “Today we can build a BuG hotel!”

“We rotate the subjects we teach,” shares Nicki. “At the moment it’s environment, sustainability and insects.”

Drawings are laid out, along with various tools and natural materials, and the children discuss their plans. Some drift away and create a merry band walking across a makeshift ‘bridge’ on the creek.

“We like to give them the invitation to do an activity,” says Nicki, “But it’s entirely up to them if they choose to do it.

Sometimes they are quite happy just to play games, build dams and climb about.”

Vicci comes from the Gold Coast, and moved to Currimundi six years ago, whereas Palmwoods resident Nicki was raised “on a farm in the middle of nowhere in South Australia”.

“Where i grew up, there were only about 60 kids in the school, and there was a real sense of community,” she shares.

This is something the pair aim to encourage with Where the Wildlings Grow. “The current average age here is seven, but we hope to start holding groups for older kids next term, up to 12-years-old, and eventually up to 17.”

The cooperative needs parents present at all times, but

Above: Founders, Vicci Oliver and Nicki Farrell

the plan is to implement a ‘kinship agreement’ amongst the parents, where responsibility can be shared, so parents can do shifts and have breaks.

“We need funding and staffing for that to happen,” Nicki says. “Vicci and i aren’t even paying ourselves yet while we establish this – it’s a slow build.”

The Nambour PCYC is very supportive, and the children also take part in art, gymnastics, yoga, cooking, music workshops and survival skills at the venue.

Homeschooling is certainly on the rise in queensland, with the number of students more than doubling in the last five years (from 891 in 2011 to more than 2,300 in 2016), according to the queensland Education Department. And this statistic doesn’t include the thousands who do not register, according to Homeschooling Downunder.

“On the Sunshine Coast there are plenty of homeschool activities available,” says Vicci, “but the trouble is they are often spread out, so we spend huge amounts of time driving. The good thing about Where the Wildlings Grow is that it’s all in one place.”

“We know it’s early days,” Nicki adds, “but eventually we hope to have our very own space to do all this … so if there are any philanthropists out there who feel like donating a parcel of land?” She laughs and heads over to inspect progress on the rapidly expanding Bug Hotel.

Maleny’s weather history:

worth preserving

Tove Easton

PRINCIPAL LAWYER

TIPS FOR LANDLORDS OF RETAIL PREMISES As a landlord of commercial premises it is important to identify what business your tenant will be carrying out from your premises so that you can prepare a lease that will comply with the requirements of the relevant act involved.

In Queensland commercial leases generally speaking come under two distinct areas; the first being retail shops which are governed by the Retail Shop Leases Act and the second being non retail shops governed by provisions of the Property Law Act. I shall concentrate my discussion on leases that come under the Retail Shop Leases Act. When negotiating with your prospective tenant these are some important tips to keep in mind: • DISCLOSURE – both you and your tenant must provide disclosure in the particular format provided by the Retail Shop Leases Regulations. As a landlord your disclosure must be in the form of a Lessor Disclosure Statement annexing a copy of the lease. The Lessor Disclosure Statement gives information about the lease such as the term of the lease, the option periods available, the rental payable, whether bond is payable etc. Importantly note that this information must be given to the tenant at least seven days before the parties enter into the Lease otherwise the tenant will be at liberty to terminate the lease at any time within the next six month period.

• TERM AND OPTIONS – keep in mind what you want to do with your premises when you negotiate the term and any options (further terms). An example is a lease that has an initial term of three years with two options each of three year duration. It is important that you note that legally, as long as your tenant is not in breach, you have to honour the lease for the whole period of time until the end of the second option period – in this case a period of nine years.

• EARLY NOTICE OF THE NEW MARKET RENT – prior to exercising the next option in the lease your tenant is entitled to request and be provided with the new market rental amount.

• NOTICE ABOUT EXERCISING OPTION PERIODS – there is an obligation on you as the Landlord to give the tenant notice that the time to take up the option period is coming up. This notice must be given at least two months’ prior to the option notice period detailed in the lease.

• NOTICE ABOUT NO OPTION – if the lease does not contain any option period you must also give your tenant notice that the lease is coming to an end. Failure to give such notice would result in the lease term automatically being extended by another six months from the time such notice is given by you!

• BOND – you are entitled to request that a bond be paid by the tenant. The amount of bond payable is often around one month’s rental.

• LEGAL COSTS – you have to pay for your own legal costs for preparing the lease.

• TENANT IS A COMPANY – you should require that the directors of the tenant company be noted in the lease as guarantors.

Community weather stations are valuable indicators of climate changes across Australia, and ready-to-retire Mal Somerville is hoping to pass his weather mantle on to preserve its data and history for future generations.

by Dale Jacobsen

F

OR THE PAST 20 YEARS Bald Knob resident, Mal Somerville, has been collecting and recording local weather details every day. “i have observations that go back to 1893. That’s nearly 1,500 entries, 99% of which came from reliable, official sources such the Bureau of Meteorology and historical data by inigo Jones from Crohamhurst Observatory at Landsborough.

“Pat Stacey from Maleny Weather helped me compile the monthly rainfall lists, and most of the last 20 years’ data came from his Maleny Weather website. But i’m 76 and can’t go on forever. “it would be a tragedy if all this information were to sit, unused, on my computer when i can’t do it anymore.”

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology depends on volunteers like Mal to gather data from the far corners of Australia. in all weather, for over 100 years, men and women have taken daily readings from private weather stations to feed into a huge data bank allowing BOM to make accurate forecasts from rainfall to flooding, dry years to wet years.

These days, technology has made life much easier for the collectors. “i have my own weather station that feeds daily data on temperature, rainfall and humidity directly onto my iPad,” explained Mal. “i enter all the obs onto an excel spreadsheet on my computer—but this is Bald Knob data, not Maleny, and we have different rainfall here.”

Mal is pretty fit for his age. Since 2009, when he started the Maleny Heartbeats walking group, he has walked, gone

He also concentrated on healthy eating, losing a considerable amount of weight in the process. He reckons he is fitter than he has been for 40 years. However, he is worried what will happen to his collection of Maleny weather data when he isn’t around anymore.

Mal is keen to share this information and regularly prints data sheets which he provides, laminated, at cost to anyone who needs them.

He also supplies precis of the wettest years (1893 with 5121.8mm) and driest years (1902 with 627.7mm), complete with an historical snapshot of the 1893 flood, particularly how it affected Maleny. “in 1893 we had the highest February rainfall. Over 2733mm. On February 3, the highest official 24 hours rainfall in queensland was recorded at Crohamhurst, by

FAMILIAR FACES Entering the data onto his computer is a daily task for Mal

inigo Jones, with 907mm. This record still stands today. “it is said the Obi-Obi Creek rose to an enormous height, reaching a point in Maple Street above Coral Street, which would have been submerged.”

Jones kept daily records for 60 years at his observatory at Peachester, which was listed on the queensland Heritage Register in 2008. His work of long-range weather forecasting continued through his assistant Lennox Walker and currently by his son, Haydon Walker. i asked Mal about the long-standing Maleny Weather Station operated for many years by Patrick Stacey.

“Sadly, Pat passed away September last year, and that signalled the end of his data collection. The website is still live, but hasn’t been updated since then. “it is such a valuable community asset with detailed archives and lots of interesting and important information. i do hope it will survive.”

Taking a proactive step, Mal is keen to have another weather station established in Maleny to carry on Pat’s work.

“What i would love is for the community to get behind this project – perhaps the Maleny Historical Society, or the local high school – some group that would keep the collection going even if people die. i’ve done some research, and reckon it could be set up for around $1,500.

“This could be a terrific opportunity for the local services clubs to get behind as sponsors. i’m available to help train people to read and record the information accurately. But they’d better hurry,” he laughed, “i’m not getting any younger.” it comes as no surprise that Mal is a numbers man, habitual collector and an amateur historian. He worked as an electrician in Rabaul (where he met Dell Burgum, whose family moved to the Blackall Range in 1886).

“We’ve been in Maleny on and off since we married in 1967, which means we have been married for 50 years. it’s always been Dell’s home, and it’s the place we returned to despite working around queensland, mainly in the mines. “i’ve always been interested in the history of wherever i hang my hat. When i was in Moranbah, i wrote the history of that place.” They moved permanently to their property on

George and Lynne Thomas enjoyed last year’s Gardening on the Edge, this year you can experience the event on June 10-11

Glorious gardens to explore

ARNiE TRASS, Maleny Garden Club president says, “Start your Gardening on the Edge experience at the Maleny Showgrounds in Stanley River Road, where you can buy tickets to all six gardens for $20, $15 for three and $5 for the single garden.

“You will see more than 30 stall holders selling and displaying their plants and giving advice amongst the flowers. We also have the Micro Gardener; offerings from members of our Garden Club; catering by the Maleny Hospital Auxiliary and much more.”

Marnie said “This is the 13th successive year where we have different gardens not seen before or for quite some time - and we are not-for-profit, so all proceeds go back into the local community.”

The event is held in the winter because, according to Marnie, it is the time to reflect on the seasons past and prepare for spring.

Gardening on the Edge owes its continued success to the goodwill of over 80 volunteer workers each year, and over 80 owners who delight in sharing their beautiful gardens.

There will be six open gardens, including a small block in town featured in the Lions Festival of Colour in

Open: Most Weekends 10am to 4pm 14

November 2000, which demonstrates gardens do not need to be large to be colourful, interesting and low maintenance.

You can see the gradual restoration of the gardens of Pattemore House, which was built in 1907, and enjoy the open garden at Booroobin with its long pedigree.

“Booroobin was placed first in the Northern NSW/South east queensland zone in its category in the 2001 The Garden Clubs of Australia Inaugural National Garden Competition.” it was also the 2001 and 2002 Maroochy and Caloundra's Gardens in the Sun competition grand champion, and featured several times in the Australia's Open Garden Scheme between 1999 and 2009.

Marnie said that, “Visitors will be impressed with the views of the Glass House Mountains from the three-acre site, it is a happy garden where you can sense the delight of the children in climbing the big old trees and running around before going to class.”

Dot Jupp, the event convenor said “The three open acreage gardens in Flaxton have not been opened before and are a feast for the eyes, including natural environmental features, rainforest areas, frogs, native fish, breeding turtles, butterfly and bird habitats among fruit orchards.”

T

HE NEXT TiME YOu think about a breakfast, lunch or dinner away from your own dining table, take a drive to Spicers Tamarind, nestled in a stunning rainforest setting and just minutes from the centre of Maleny.

With a welcoming restaurant, cocktail bar, comfy outdoor seating, and a garden area complete with fire pit for those chilly nights, this could become your regular favourite escape.

General Manager, Ryan Dillon, explains, “Because of the beautiful surroundings, people may assume we are rather exclusive or expensive, but that isn’t the case.

“People don’t have to choose a set price menu any more. We want you to come and enjoy a couple of curries on a week night, or share a few plates. We’ve also introduced BYO on Thursday, and Jazz in the Forest on the first Sunday of the month.”

Ryan himself is a local, raised in Peachester, and despite moving to work in the Hunter Valley he always hoped to eventually “come home” and join the Spicers Group – a move that recently eventuated. “i am a local and i love this gem in our backyard. i want other locals to come and use this place as their hang out.”

Executive Head Chef, Daniel Jarrett, agrees, “i hope hinterland residents will visit and try the new menu – i’ve focussed on an Asian family-style cuisine, with shared plates and incredible flavours.”

With its more accessible menu, Sunday jazz, and BYO Thursday, plus plans for a celebratory ‘Local Legends’ dinner and an Asian food festival in the pipeline, Spicers Tamarind could easily become a very welcome hub for the community.

A Village Wedding Expo is regarded as one of the best wedding expos to attend, as it has a great vibe, atmosphere and is beautifully decorated.

The success of the expo has a lot to do with location.

The beautiful setting of St Mary’s Hall and the village green, the character and charm of Montville Village Hall, magical marquees and yurts all set against the backdrop of gorgeous Montville.

Engaged couples from throughout queensland are introduced to our wonderful community of volunteers and take in the visual spectacle of florists, decorators, wedding cakes, photography displays, wedding dresses, jewellery and giftware.

They have a chance to speak to celebrants, stylists, venue operators, accommodation providers, and hair and beauty specialists.

On display is a range of wedding transfer vehicles amidst caravans for makeup, alcoholic beverages and even a caravan for coffee this year! Entertainment on the day takes many forms from DJ’s to guitarists or cellists.

Take a scenic drive and explore our hinterland haven.

Not only can you find cosy romantic roosts to stay, you can enjoy a taste of our tempting cuisine.

You will be provided with a keepsake in the form of a Venue and Accommodation Map within the Village Wedding Expo special feature in the July Hinterland Times that will also list all the exhibitors.

So save the date!

Hinterland businesses a winner

C

ONGRATuLATiONS TO Member for Glass House, Andrew Powell MP, and his team. Over 150 locals from small businesses had their moment to shine last month at the second annual Glass House Small Business Awards Gala Event, aka the Glassys.

With almost 100 businesses and over 50 employees nominated this year, Andrew was thrilled that so many members of the community took the time to vote and show our local businesses how important they are in our community.

“The night was all about promoting and encouraging the many local small businesses we have in Glass House and giving them the opportunity to bask in the spotlight, if only for one night. it’s our way of saying thank you for everything you do”, he said.

Michelle Gilmore and Karen Muir were thrilled that the Hinterland Times was nominated, and see the Gold Glassy crowned to Renae’s Pantry (Palmwoods) and Rhylie Coutts (Wamuran iGA) for Employee.

Held at Flame Hill Vineyard at Montville, the night was a lot of fun - congratulations to all the nominees and the winning businesses and employees:

Hinterland holds elixir of

life

There must be something in the Hinterland air.

Not one, but three local faces turned 92 recently!

All are clients of RangeCare, formally Blackall Range Care Group, in Flaxton - where the home care package team work hard to achieve goals of keeping people independent in their own home....

S

O, WHO ARE the three birthday characters? First is Rob Reilly of Maleny, the founder of Manawee Garden Centre.

Rob continues to satisfy his green thumb propagating plants in his courtyard and selling the plants at market stalls.

Prior to this, Rob held jobs as a foreman in a factory in Melbourne as well as a dairy farmer in Gympie.

He remembers a time when there was no electricity, and people got around with a horse a buggy. He also fondly remembers a time when the butcher, baker and milkman delivered to your door by horse and cart, and when mail was delivered twice daily and once on Saturday.

How times have changed!

Rob has been living in Maleny for more than 30 years and started exercising through some of RangeCare’s health and wellbeing programs. He openly states that, “if it wasn’t for exercise, i would have seized up”. Rob has one daughter and two sons.

He is pictured with Mary Donovan, RangeCare’s Home Care Package Coordinator, who helped celebrate with cake, balloons and flowers, and of course a happy birthday song!

Secondly we have Mapleton local Paul Stojanovic.Originally from Croatia, Paul moved

Left: Rob Reilly of Maleny

to Australia during WWii with his wife and children and lived in Melbourne for 15 years, where he worked in a meat factory.

Paul believes his creative and ingenious spirit got him out of many sticky situations and still today he invents tools to help make his life a little easier. He moved to the area with his family more than 40 years ago, and cared for his wife for 30 years before she died in 2009.

Recognising Paul’s rich history, his grandson and wife gave him a special journal and pen so that he could start to write down his memories.

He continues to work on recording his memories to this day.

Finally, we meet Tony Barnett of Montville, who still lives with his wife, Dawne, on a property owned by Dawne’s family since 1906.

Tony, who was born in Sydney, moved to the area in the 1940s, where he then met Dawne and they married in 1950.

The property originally grew citrus and was heavily forested but when timber became more valuable, the forests were cut down. Removing the forest caused lots of problems for the citrus, so the property turned to farming pineapples until the 1960s. About 10 years ago, Tony and Dawne subdivided and sold their farm, keeping an acre for themselves.

After selling, the couple did various trips around Australia and England. Tony said that, “we learnt to slow down and gradually enjoy ourselves”.

Maleny singers perform

The Magic Flute

E

Paul Stojanovic (above) and Tony Barnett (below) have both turned 92!

NJOY GLORiOuS TuNES, and a melodramatic storyline in Maleny Singers June performances of Mozart’s last opera, The Magic Flute which remains one of the most regularly performed operas worldwide. it has an engaging, if melodramatic plot, full of handsome heroes, beautiful maidens, and evil villains, demanding an extended cast of soloists in addition to a small chorus, and making it one of the Singers’ more ambitious productions.

Contributing to the spectacle are the bDifferent Dance Academy, and the Maleny Performing Arts Orchestra.

Regular leads Colin Dunn (Tenor) and Evalee Sharples (Soprano) play the hero and heroine, Prince Tamino and Princess Pamina. Pamina’s mother is the evil queen of the Night, beautifully played by Evalee’s talented “real life” daughter, Lisa Grigor.

Tamino sets out to rescue Pamina, sequestered in the Temple of Wisdom by the wise Sarastro (Tony Glazebrook), to keep her from the bad influence of her mother. The tale plays out as a battle between good and evil that leaves its last twists right to the finale. injecting some wonderful humour into the plot is Tamino’s sidekick and travelling companion Papageno, played with gusto by Chris Ward. The two of them together remind one of Don quixote and Sancho Panza, as Papageno somehow manages to prick the bubble of Tamino’s lofty idealism whenever it tries to get too serious!

Musical Director, Margaret Taylor, has done a superb job to trim the opera to a manageable length for families without losing any of its impact, and the show is bound to be a great night or afternoon out for lovers of light opera.

Performance dates are: Saturday June 17 at 6.30 pm; Sunday June 18 at 2pm; Saturday June 24 at 4pm and Sunday June 25 at 2pm at the Maleny Community Centre.

Book tickets at: www.trybooking.com/280878 or the Maleny Visitor Centre.

Maleny Singers Tenor Colin Dunn and soprano Evalee Sharples play the hero and heroine, Prince Tamino and Princess Pamina with bass-baritone Tony Glazebrook as Chief Priest Sarastro in Mozart’s The Magic Flute

HiNTERLAND TiMES – JuNE 2017

Marcel T

HE GREAT FRENCH mime artist, Marcel Marceau, had an act which consisted solely of walking briskly onto the stage. it seemed entirely normal, but when he got to the middle of the stage something happened – he kept walking, but he wasn’t getting anywhere. Marceau became alarmed, then frantic: his legs and arms worked harder than ever but he remained stuck in the same spot.

Which brings us, inevitably, to Malcolm Turnbull. Our Prime Minister is obviously not as graceful and elegant as Marceau, nor, unfortunately, as silent: he has spent the last week of parliament repeating the same diatribe in everincreasing volume in the hope that those few voters who watch question Time on television will hear him, even when they have reached for the mute button.

His loyal colleagues have followed the same formula, with varying results. Peter Dutton is, as you would expect from a queensland copper, a natural; Scott Morrison is getting there.

Christian Porter and Josh Frydenberg are trying hard, but Greg Hunt is seriously unconvincing – let’s face it, he always has been. Barnaby Joyce, on cue, can be relied on to provide comic relief.

And on the other side, Bill Shorten and his troops are delivering all their hard-won experience of barracking at rowdy union meetings to ensure that the cacophony is bipartisan. if there are any actual messages, they are lost in the hubbub, which is probably just as well, because the pseudo-arguments from both sides do not bear examination.

The National Disability insurance Scheme is not dependent on an increase in the Medicare levy; Turnbull’s pretence that there is no alternative is frankly deceitful.

The NDiS can be funded from multiple other sources from consolidated revenue if the government chooses.

But an increase in the levy, which is in fact an across-theboard increase in the variable, progressive, tax schedule, is not in itself such a bad idea; Shorten is being, at best, disingenuous saying it is an unfair burden on lower and middle income earners.

But he has a point about the end of the tax levy on high income earners: if it was designed to reduce the deficit, why does it cut off when the deficit is far larger than it was when the levy began?

Everyone agrees the banks should be bashed, so although this is clearly ad hoc populism, the bank levy will go ahead.

But it would be nice if the government could explain just how much revenue it hopes to gain, and the apparent paradox of charging the levy at the same time it claims all corporations desperately need a tax cut.

Labor, on the other hand, continues to play silly buggers on Gonski Mark 2, piously fingering its collective rosaries as it pretends to protect the Catholic Church from the horrors of the sector-blind, needs-based model that it once extolled as the solution to all educational ills.

And in the meantime, both are scrabbling frantically

beneath the surface to persuade the self-important cross benchers in the senate to join their cause – if they can ever figure out what it is, and find a way articulate it.

Plenty of sound and fury but, as the man said, signifying nothing – at least that is what Turnbull’s unhappily invoked bible, Newspoll, is telling us.

The coalition optimists reckon that it is all too early to tell, that the benefits – of the politics, if not the policies – will emerge in the fullness of time.

But if the fiasco of the last few days in parliament are any guide, it is hard to see any sign of a dawn for their brave new world.

And as a natural consequence of the dysfunction, the media have gone off in pursuit of any souffles they can beat up – the perils of Pauline Hanson, the syntax of ASiO chief Duncan Lewis, the suggestion – the hope – that there just might be the beginnings of a leadership tussle between Shorten and Anthony Albanese that just might take some of the heat off Turnbull.

And when in doubt, when any serious contemplation of the issues on which Turnbull and Shorten are ranting is either too hard or too unedifying, there is always terrorism to fall back on, making the latest international atrocity a handy segue into the Lewis non-story.

Presumably we are to go on with business as usual. The senate will squabble, bicker and bargain until some kind of unsatisfactory compromise to the budget measures will be hammered out, with outrageous and irrelevant concessions to the smartest operators offered by ministers desperate for a result – any result.

And what cannot be traded will either be junked or else left languishing as a new set of zombie measures for next time.

The remains of the budget, which a month ago was so vital to our economic survival, so crucial to the national interest, will once again to be history.

And Turnbull, Shorten and the rest of them will go on shouting in the hope that eventually at least one of the puerile insults will stick.

Anything rather than confront the awful reality: the punters are not interested.

They have been disappointed too many times and they simply don’t believe this government – probably any government – is going to provide them with any serious relief.

All they can see is the pantomime: the melodramatic farce of impotent political caricatures indulging themselves for a hour or two before going back to do whatever it is they do – presumably continue jumping up and down in the same spot.

Fortunately there is a solution to Marcel Marceau’s and Malcolm Turnbull’s twin predicaments: “My dear,” said the Red queen. “here we must run as fast as we can just to stay in place. And if you wish to go anywhere you must run twice as fast as that.”

Of course, that is Alice in Wonderland, but it’s about the only advice around. So get moving Malcolm – get agile!

The views expressed in Mungo's column are his and not necessarily the views of the HT team.

The Montville Village Hall is onboard for the Festival of Community Halls - the MVA ask you to loan photos from the last 50 years

The 50th anniversary of the naming of the Sunshine Coast is officially commemorated on August 1, and small halls scattered across the Sunshine Coast will be lighting up the hills to celebrate with a Festival of Community Halls Montville Village Hall is one of them.

T

HROuGHOuT AuGuST, over eighteen halls will host a series of events and activities unique to each of their communities for the Festival of Community Halls.

The Montville Village Association (MVA) has been asked to participate in the celebrations, and is looking forward to preparing digital and hard-copy photographic historical displays on a theme of “The Changing Face of Montville; From Farm to Café" to capture the growth of tourism on the range.

The MVA is inviting people to lend it historical photographs of Montville from the 1960s to today that would help illustrate the changes that have taken place over the last 50 years.

in particular, they are hoping for photos of the Main Street, the village green, and around the school, that capture the area and the different buildings.They would also love to receive photos that capture the changes in fashion, transport, people and local features.

You can drop your photos off at the Montville iGA or Montville Real Estate or mail them to the Montville Village Association, PO Box 5, Montville, 4560. Make sure you put your name and contact details on the back so they can be returned.

The digital copies will be posted online and the scanned photographs will be presented at the Montville Market on August 12, with relevant source credits.

This is the perfect time to celebrate our identity, engage our community and showcase our history and future on the Sunshine Coast.

Gheerulla Hall president, Mary Ann Law initiated the overall project, “With halls in our communities having such historical significance, we have the opportunity to celebrate and commemorate the people and places that have shaped and defined the Sunshine Coast.

“Small halls have been integral to community life for over a century and communities today can learn of the

works.

“My eyes were opened to the great australian landscape painters past and present, the likes of streeton, McCubbin, Lloyd rees and William robinson, amongst others”. From this experience, he has developed a strong eye for colour and a unique style. in 2012, he became a represented artist at the highlyrespected Lethbridge Gallery in Paddington, Brisbane, going on to win a number of awards and finalist berths in major art competitions, including Best Oil at the 2017 rotary art spectacular in Brisbane, his second win in this competition in three years.

Now Wayne has new adventures ahead, recently taking over the Montville art Gallery with his wife tracey.

Being the artist in residence gives customers the chance to see oil painting in action, with completed artworks also for sale, alongside an impressive display of artwork from the existing gallery of artists. Oil painting classes will be commencing soon.

Open daily from 10 to 5, Montville art Gallery is located at 138 Main street, Montville, opposite the Village Green, phone 5442 9211.

From june 1st, Wayne’s paintings will be featured under exhibitions on the gallery website: www.montvilleartgallery.com.au

“Powerful” was submitted into the Obi Art Prize by Susheela Giri

H

OW DOES A SMALL local neighbourhood centre launch an art prize and pull in submissions from around the country? Well, that’s something to ask the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre, who received over 75 submissions nationally from artists inspired to paint works showcasing the theme of positive RESPECT. in an inaugural year this is an astounding result and highlights how many people are feeling the need to express RESPECT, as events around the world show us what RESPECT isn’t.

According to curator Satya Demasson, “it was an incredibly difficult job to reduce the number of works put

Wayne Malkin Artist of the Month June 2017

HiNTERLAND TiMES – JuNE 2017

before the judges down to 40, with the quality of submissions for the main prize so high.”

This year the prize pool is impressive, with a total of over $8000 in prizes and Maleny iGA sponsoring the $3000 main prize. The Maleny River School participated and now has a number of students in the under 19 awards, which include the Youth Prize of $1500, sponsored by Maleny Apex.

The Obi Painted Tie Event is the winner’s announcement celebration and the launch of the Obi Art exhibition, held at the Maleny Community Centre, July 7-9.

Tickets are only $25 and include great entertainment, a free drink and nibbles, with music from Sing for Change artists, including Hayden Hack and Tim Hall along with dance performances, speakers, raffles and live art.

As the theme for the evening is Painted Tie. Have fun and create or find a colourful tie, or buy one - funds raised are for the Neighbourhood Centre.

Men Without Women

Between Them

by Haruki Murakami

by Richard Ford

‘i find writing novels a challenge, writing stories a joy. if writing novels is like planting a forest, then writing short stories is more like planting a garden.' - Murakami Across seven tales, Haruki Murakami brings his powers of observation to bear on the lives of men who, in their own ways, find themselves alone.

Here are vanishing cats and smoky bars, lonely hearts and mysterious women, baseball and the Beatles, woven together to tell stories that speak to us all.

Curiosity, in this pitch-perfect new collection of short stories - Murakami’s first for more than a decade -is what motivates most of his characters.

Their curiosity becomes ours and helps to propel each narrative onwards. But curiosity is shown to be complicated. is it healthy, necessary, wise? The mix of humour and melancholy in Murakami’s writing is astounding. Murakami is a master story-teller.

Richard Ford is the only child of older parents. Before he was born, his parents spent years driving around the South of the uS for his father’s job as a traveling salesman. After his birth, he and his mother would remain home in Jackson, his father returning on weekends.

How is it that we come to consider our parents as people with rich and intense lives that include but also exclude us? For Ford, the questions of what his parents dreamed of, how they loved each other and loved him become a striking portrait of American life in the mid-century.

Between Them is a quiet, meditative work. Longtime readers of Ford and newcomers alike will devour it in an afternoon for the personal and familial insights where he brings his celebrated candor, wit, and intelligence to this most intimate and mysterious of landscapes—our parents’ lives.

The ‘Hilda’ Graphic Novel Series

by Luke Pearson All the Hilda books are full of excitement, adventure, rather odd creatures and of course, the feisty protagonist herself! They are so wonderfully illustrated that you will quickly be transported into a world of whimsy and wonder.

Luke Pearson is the artist and writer of the Hilda series of graphic novels. He has fast become one of the leading talents of the united Kingdom and united States comics scene, garnering rave reviews from the New York Times and the School Library Journal. He was the winner of the Young People's Comic category at the British Comic Award in 2012, and he has been nominated for the Eisner Award's Best Publication for Kids and Best Writer/Artist in 2013. it's rare to come across graphic novelists whose visual and written talents are equally strong. Pearson's certainly are!

N THESE DAYS of digital technology, with our mobile phones and internet it’s easier than ever for us humans to stay connected to the rest of society. if only staying connected was so easy for the wildlife!

As the virtual world wide web increases its ability to connect human beings across the planet, the very real and necessary world wide “web of life” is becoming increasingly fragmented. As wonderful as the virtual world is, we need to apply some serious work into ensuring the world wide “web of life” stays connected or we are in for some serious repercussions. For those of you who have become “connected” to the virtual world, just imagine if the world wide web disappeared…would life ever be the same for you again (and this virtual world has only been around for most of us for a mere 20 years or less!). unfortunately we don’t have to imagine what will happen if the world wide web of life starts to crumble (were there already).

This real world has taken over 4 billion years to evolve.

Compared to the mere inconvenience of the loss of the internet, the loss of the world wide “web of life” has far reaching consequences for us all. unfortunately for our wildlife, their ability to communicate and move through the landscape is now extremely limited,

Forest Heart Local Native Plant Nursery 20 Coral St, Maleny Phone: 5435 2193

which has and continues to lead to localised extinctions and reductions in species diversity. Where there was once boundless forest there are now scattered remnants from a few hundred acres in size to scattered trees. They sit there like islands of the old forest in a sea of grass.

So what can we all do individually to keep our real world functioning and healthy and connected? What can we do to help the ecosystems that support all of life across the planet?

The solution is simple, we must reconnect the remaining forest remnants so that wildlife can move freely through the landscape again.

To continue our internet analogy. We measure the flow of information (of connection) on the world wide web using kilobytes, megabytes etc...

With our real world, it’s the flow of genes by which we measure the flow of information (of connection). it’s the ability of animals and plants to move through the landscape that allows the world wide web of life to function. unfortunately gene flow is at best poor and our wildlife are often lucky to be able to connect at dial up level and often the server is down! Now more than ever it’s time to plant native plants, to try and help get our local wildlife back on the network, so they too, can stay connected.

Ecology and Revegetation

E

COLOGiSTS, REVEGETATORS and landholders have recently been discussing the relative merits of using scarce resources to protect the habitats of rare and endangered species and/or building connecting corridors.

Some species will be less able than others to adapt to the effects of global warming and could become confined to areas which suit their particular needs.

Without access to those specialised habitats or refugia, they are unlikely to survive. if the refugia are lost, so are these species.

At the same time, do we really understand just how different species of birds, animals, frogs and insects move through the landscape. There’s a wealth of science behind the study of ecology, and also behind what we as landholders do on the ground as we continue to revegetate our own patches of the landscape.

Recent and ongoing research is finding that the idea of ‘build it and they will come’ is not necessarily true. A complex mix of trees, shrubs, groundcovers, rocks, logs and water certainly helps but some species require continuous vegetation of a particular type e.g. woodland, to enable them to live successfully in their preferred habitat. They will not move from patch to patch across open ground. Whether we are gardeners or live on rural blocks, we need to connect and work with our neighbours. Finding out the best way do this equates with citizen science.

We love watching our wildlife, but will the finches living in the grassland next door be eager to make use of a similar patch of grassland on your property? Will they move through a wide corridor of revegetation, mostly trees, to get there or do they actually need a corridor of grasses? Some birds move seasonally from the coast to the ranges and cross

many landscapes but others may not.

Science is fascinating and underpins so much of our lives. Science is for everyone so enjoy observing, recording and sharing the results.

Winter Nights Outdoors Fire Pits have become a central part of our outdoor living, evolving from the days of caveman and campsites (out of necessity) to a myriad of modern designs to suit each individual application.

There is something primeval, mesmerising and calming watching flames in motion.

Most fire pits are fuelled by wood or charcoal with some designs operating on gas. Not only is it a place to gather and chat with a drink of choice but also a means of cooking, using skewers, grill baskets, cooking grate, cast iron skillet of rotisserie.

BRIEF

The ex-scientist who used to research in skin diseases and skin cancer in Sydney, found it hard to pin down what she liked most about running her own business: "Rural people are really lovely and there's more flexibility for my kids."

She says, "The most popular item is cattle yards, my husband Andrew and i also offer a design and set-up service - as not everyone wants to or can build their new yards."

RECENTLY ATTENDED to a large Flooded, or Rose, Gum, Eucalyptus grandis. The botanical name says it all, Grandis means big. Anyway, this tree had been struck and killed by lightning, not an uncommon occurrence here on the Plateau, particularly when trees are tall, and/or on ridgelines.

The owners had experienced a massive bolt of lightning that had fried their underground powerline creating a weird, potentially lethal electrical scenario in their home, and two weeks later all the leaves on the gum died.

At this point i was called and upon arrival at the property immediately

realised that the bolt had blown the bark open all the way in a line down the back of the tree. in this case, the bolt superheated the liquid in the trunk and the resulting escaping steam blew the bark open, and the steam treatment killed the tree.

There are many fascinating ways lightning can affect trees, but there are not enough column inches available to go into them here, unfortunately.

On a happier note, i’ve begun posting photographs on instagram under ‘aboutthattree’ and also on my Facebook page ‘Tony Wootton Tree Surgeon’, to offer an arborist’s view

of the world. it’s awesome.

Now go outside and touch a tree and marvel at the wonder of it.

CWA COuNTRY KiTCHENs Program, the CWA Maleny Branch, and university of the Sunshine Coast are inviting community groups and individuals to take part in activities which can be monitored by nutrition students, to enable them to identify nutrition needs within our diverse Maleny community.

This gives them a valuable experience in applying the theory of community and public health in preparation for professional practise as dietitians.

The activities run from 10 July to 14 August in an effort to highlight the need to prevent the rising incidence of obesity and chronic diseases such as diabetics and heart disease.

One-hour sessions include nutrition facts and a demonstration of a modified everyday recipe, based on one or all of our five key health messages: eat more fruit and vegetables; cook at home; check your portion size; be aware of sugar in your drinks and sit less, move more.

HospITals – please stop selling soft drinks

C

ONGRATuLATiONS Caboolture Hospital on your queensland-first move - banning the sale of all energy drinks, sports drinks and soft drinks.

Cancer Council queensland CEO Ms Chris McMillan encouraged hospitals to implement active measures to limit the consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks.

“Two in three queensland adults and one in four children are overweight or obese – we need to do more to help our communities maintain a healthy weight,” Ms McMillan said.

“We’re urging hospitals to set an example and promote healthy lifestyles by helping patients, staff and

visitors make the healthy choice the easy choice, by limiting the sale of sugar-sweetened beverages.

“Regular consumption of sugary drinks is associated with significant health problems including obesity, some cancers, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

“One 600ml bottle of a soft drink, sports drink, or energy drink contains up to 16 teaspoons of sugar and over 250 calories or 1000 kilojoules.

“At least one-third of all cancers are preventable through healthy lifestyle changes including eating a healthy diet, being physically active, reducing alcohol intake and maintaining a healthy weight.”

Credentialed Diabetes Educator and podiatrist, Jane Stanley says, "i will support and encourage you to take what you need from sessions and fit it into your lifestyle.”

Something tertiary-educated Jane is well qualified to do, with specialised training in diabetes and an impressive 1000 hrs of supervised practice!

Working with a dietitian, the group sessions will cover: understanding diabetes; demystifying myths and what you should be doing; what commonly prescribed medications do; lifestyle skills including nutrition, exercise; taking care feet, and living well with diabetes and staying in control.

Jane explains, "Group learning is very supportive and fun - a great way to increase your knowledge and skill."

Participants will have one individual session and then attend six weekly sessions of 1.5 hrs with the group. All participants will set their own goals. Diabetes is a selfmanaged condition.

queenslanders can limit their consumption of sugarsweetened beverages by drinking water or unflavoured low-fat milk instead.

Ayurvedic Health Advice to Suit You

Control is opposed to evolution

D

O YOu FEEL SORE after a yoga class?

Stressed about not being able to meditate? Straining to achieve Wendy Rosenfeldt happiness?

The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness and while we may have got caught up looking for it in the wrong places and straining to achieve it, the natural tendency of life is for fulfilment. Happiness comes from within and while most of us acknowledge this, we still spend a lot of time chasing it on the outside. We seek satisfaction in material possessions; nice cars, beautiful clothes, comfortable homes; and while there is nothing wrong with having these they will not make us happy. We may look for fulfilment in relationships, looking attractive or being successful in our career but these cannot fool proof us from feeling anxious, depressed or insecure.

A state of bliss consciousness is at the depths of our being.

Experienced at the deepest level of the mind it can permeate all phases of living. initially it is experienced when the body is deeply resting. The mind and body are intimately connected. Mental stress creates tension in the body just as poor health affects the quality of our thinking. A stress free physiology is more conducive to bliss.

The mind naturally moves in the direction of more happiness.

When we are enjoying a good book we cannot put it down but if it gets boring the mind will drift to other thoughts. Trying to control the natural movement of the mind is like trying to stand in the fast flowing current of a river. it can be hard and create resistance for a time, until it will at some point it will be swept along with the rush of the current.

Transcendental Meditation is like going with the flow. The

technique also gives the mind the direction to go inward so we are not just floating along on the surface of the mind but going deep within to the source of thought. These quiet levels are like gravity to the mind, so in an effortless way, the mind just sinks within. it is opposite to concentration or control.

Likewise attempting to relax the body by forcing it into painful positions or pushing beyond what is comfortable may improve our flexibility but causes stress and strain to the body in the process.

Ayurveda advocates exercising to less than your full capacity to improve fitness and overall health. While you are exercising you should be able to breathe comfortably through your nose. initially you may feel that you cannot run as fast or exercise as heavily but over time your ability to run faster and go for longer will improve without creating strain in the body. Exercise should release stress not create it.

Creating a routine or lifestyle where you are constantly trying to better your self can also become a source of stress. Strictly following a diet while craving the ‘wrong’ foods can be a detrimental to health and happiness. Sometimes we do need to avoid certain foods if they are creating health problems but if we are just doing it because we have an intellectual idea that particular foods are bad or we should eat food we dislike in the name of good health then it is time to tune into how we feel when we eat or avoid them.

Finding happiness should not be hard work.

Wendy Rosenfeldt is a Maharishi Ayurveda Practitioner and Teacher of Transcendental Meditation.

HiNTERLAND TiMES – JuNE 2017

OMETiMES WHAT YOu EAT is not as important as how you feel when you are eating it. A rushed meal eaten just to put something in your body so that you have the energy to keep running around is not going to nourish your body as well as a relaxed meal eaten slowly with enjoyment.

Even though the nutritional ingredients in a meal are important, they are of little value to the person who can’t absorb them due to stress or who consumes them in a rush so that the food is not mixed adequately with saliva to make the ingredients available to the body. Chewing your food, is important, so is choosing the best quality food items available.

This means as far as possible buy ORGANiC. Recently i read an comment by a dietitian that stated that there is no real difference in the nutritional value of organic over conventionally grown food. Even if that was a correct statement, we aren’t just speaking about nutritional value when we recommend organic, we are saying it makes more sense to chose foods that are grown without an abundance of chemicals thrown in, in soil that has been built up with

natural compost rather than with with chemicals. There has been much valid research that documents the health hazards of chemicals that are used in modern farming. We are also just beginning to get scientific validation about the healing applications of food as medicine.

Dr. William Li who researches the benefits of foods in terms of CA protection, recently stated that “1/3 of Cancers can be prevented by diet alone”, he also says “We get to influence our health 3x per day when preparing and eating meals.” Dr. Li ‘s advice is also that we eat brightly pigmented foods as these often confer the greatest level of protection against CA. Lifestyle choices make a profound difference to your future experience, so take a breath, stop and think why you do what you do, rethink every aspect of your life, and make choices that will help you create the life you truly desire for yourself and your family.

ADVERTORiAL

Physiotherapy can help…

shoulder disorders T HE SHOuLDER COMPLEX is a complicated area. it consists of the glenohumeral joint, acromio-clavicular joint, sterno-clavicular joint and scapulothoracic articulation.

There is minimal bony support which enables a large range of movement to occur through the upper limb. This leads to problems as in essence, the shoulder complex is controlled by soft tissue.

The gleno-humeral joint has often been described as a watermelon on a saucer. This is not far from the truth. The rotator cuff muscles need to work in good synchronisation, with supportive ligaments for effective shoulder function.

A full subjective and objective assessment of the shoulder and surrounding areas can be a lengthy process but is essential for good clinical outcomes.

There are three main subdivisions into which shoulder disorders nearly always fall: 1. impingement/rotator cuff injuries 2. instability 3. adhesive capsulitis/capsular restrictions.

it is also important to consider other factors when assessing a shoulder disorder: • referred pain (from the cervical or thoracic spine) • sporting technique including equipment changes/modifications, eg. tennis racquet change • biomechanical and postural issues. if these factors are not addressed they will affect the healing process and the patient’s outcome.

A thorough subjective and objective assessment is important. Experience in orthopaedic shoulder tests is vital. Shoulder range of movement, scapulathoracic rhythm, strength, impingement and stability tests should be an essential part of your assessment to assist diagnosis.

if necessary, imaging will also assist diagnosis.

Research shows the majority of shoulder problems will settle with exercise, modified rest and re-education.

Although osteoarthritis is uncommon in the glenohumeral joint, subtle changes in the bone may be present that can predispose to specific conditions developing.

Acromial spurs are an example of this.

Diagnosis and treatment must be tailored to the individual client. Early diagnosis and physiotherapy treatment will produce quicker improvements and better outcomes in the majority of clients.

If you are experiencing shoulder pain, come in and see Tim or Mary Bagshaw at Maleny Physiotherapy.

Bed Linen month at

HEALTHY HOMEWARES

Authentically MADE with the purpose to enhance your health & well-being

Did you know that...

The human skin acts like a giant sponge for whatever we surround it with.

Commercial

bed-linen can legally contain 10% polyester and still be called 100% cotton. In fact, the % is often a lot higher than that.

Polyester is harmful to the body. It is made from synthetic polymers that are made from esters of dihydric alcohol and terpthalic acid and may cause cancer, according to the EPA.

QUALITY

June is

Sustainably MADE with respect for our environment

Your bed-linen needs to be pure & that means certified organic.

At Healthy Homewares we sell a wide range of certified organic Sheet Sets; Quilt Cover Sets and Protectors.

Now you can surround yourself with completely natural fibres.

Your body will thank you for it.

We spend many hours a day absorbing these chemicals through our skin

Come and see our other amazing homewares & garden centre & relax in our cafe.

Plenty of parking underneath with an elevator to both levels.

Bring your friends.

We cater for bus tours.

Planning a wedding? Ask about our gift registry opportunity.
