Maleny District Sport & Recreation Club Inc Newsletter Maleny Garden Club This week-end would, in normal times, have seen one of Maleny’s most popular events taking place Gardening on the Edge. This big event is run annually by the Maleny Garden Club, whose goal amongst other things is to foster friendship through a love of growing plants, further member’s knowledge and enjoyment of horticulture and to raise awareness in the community of our local environment.
club was held in 1952 at Rixon Burnett’s’ home. Ann Lockwood, Rixon Burnett, Alan Webster, Mrs Bergann, Mrs BJ Nothling and possibly Doris Waddell were in attendance, with the new club then known as the Maleny & District Horticultural Society. Alan Lockwood was elected as the first President, Rixon Burnett Secretary and Alan Webster Treasurer.
Whilst we may not be able to tour the gorgeous local gardens that were to participate in 2020, let’s take a look at this very active club and what makes them tick.
The second meeting was held at the Beerwah Forestry Nursery and in addition to the above people; Bessie Humphries and Edna Hawkins were present.
The following brief history of their early days was provided by Olga Webster. It appears the first meeting of a group of people interested in forming a garden
Records are sparse from those early days but by 1965 membership had reached 64, by 2002 it was over 100, and today membership stands at 120. The club enjoys many regular activities, including inviting guest speakers to their well attended monthly meetings, bus trips, “Show and Tell” and “Sip and Snip” sessions.

Their major fund-raiser, the marvellous Gardening on the Edge, is a "Garden Trail and Garden Market” providing an opportunity for locals and visitors to the area to see a number of beautiful gardens at the one time and to attend the Garden Market at the Maleny Showgrounds. It has been held each year since 2005 and has now raised in excess of $100,000, with the money raised distributed and donated back to local community organisations. GOTE draws many people to the area, yearly up to 2,000 people visit our local gardens and contribute to business activity on the Range. As with all well organised events, it looks seamless - but the organisers can guarantee there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes to make it so successful for the garden owners, the Garden Club members and the visitors their event attracts. Why not browse the selection of photos from previous years’ gardens on their website at https://malenygardenclub.org/ and let’s make sure to support Maleny Garden Club by attending Gardening on the Edge in 2021! https://malenysportandrec.org.au/

What’s that you say ? According to the Collins Dictionary, “a proverb is a short sentence that people often quote, which gives advice or tells you something about life.”
written conversations we have using text, email and messenger. Clarification is always wise, with a “checking in” that you have been understood, in the very least. Through researching this topic, I was not surprised to learn that many proverbs (aka: sayings) are
Communication of any message is often undertaken at the risk of it being misinterpreted, to some degree. One’s communication style can sometimes lead to confusion, especially when the message we send is being received differently. This is often exacerbated by the instant,
6. “A hungry stomach has no ears” (French Proverb) Meaning : You can’t concentrate without food in your tummy. 7. “He who digs a pit for others will fall in it himself” (Romanian Proverb) Meaning : What goes around, comes around.
Some proverbs resonate with us strongly, whilst others can leave you perplexed. The fact is, proverbs probably appeared not long after the emergence of spoken language, planting easily memorised seeds of wisdom to flourish through the decades and generations. The curious thing about proverbs is that there's often one for every point of view (makes for an interesting argument!). For every "Look before you leap" there's a "He who hesitates is lost". "A fool and his money are soon parted" can be refuted with "To make money you have to spend money" … see what I mean?
5. “Empty barrels make the most noise” (Icelandic Proverb) Meaning : People who are all talk, often don’t know a lot.
similar across the globe. Today I’ve selected a variety of proverbs to represent the diversity of our community. How many of these are familiar to you ? … or do you know of, stated in a similar way ? 1. “When elephants fight, it is the grass that gets hurt” (Kenyan Proverb) Meaning : Fights of the powerful only hurt the little guys. 2. “The pillow is the best advisor” (Swedish Proverb) Meaning : Sleep on a problem and see how you feel in the morning. 3. “If the world flooded, it wouldn’t matter to a duck” (Turkish Proverb) Meaning : Things that are bad for you, are not always bad for everyone.

8. “Better to be slapped with the truth than kissed with a lie” (Russian Proverb) Meaning : The bitter truth is better than sweet lies. 9. “Fruits from the same tree have different tastes” (Chinese Proverb) Meaning : Members of the same family have different personalities. 10.“Fall seven times, stand up eight” (Japanese Proverb) Meaning : Don’t let defeat hold you back. 11.“He who has a head of wax must not walk in the sun” (Italian Proverb) Meaning : Know your weaknesses.

Hello from MSHS Youth Support Coordinator (ConAnued from previous page) 12.“A dog bitten by a snake is afraid of sausages” (Brazilian Proverb) hurt you get a lot more careful. 13.“A good ploughman can plough even with a goose” (Lithuanian Proverb) Meaning : Good workers can do their work, even with rubbish tools. 14.“Don’t ride an elephant to catch a grasshopper” (Thai Proverb) Meaning : Don’t use a tool too big for the job.
24. “The dragon rises up from the stream” (Korean Proverb) Meaning : Great successes can come from very humble beginnings. 25. “The bigger the hat, the smaller the property” (Australian Proverb) Meaning : The more time spent big-noting yourself, the less time spent actually doing anything. Until next week, stay well and warm … and enjoy the “Complete the Proverbs” quiz
15.“A monkey dressed in silk is still a monkey” (Spanish Proverb) Meaning : You can over things up, but it doesn’t change what they are. 16.“A ‘thank you’ doesn’t pay the fiddler” (Gaelic Proverb) Meaning : Gratitude is nice, but people usually work for money. 17.“Accusation always follows the cat” (Iraqi Proverb) Meaning : It’s easy to blame someone who can’t argue back. 18.“Those who rest grow rusty” (German Proverb) Meaning : Keep active while you still have the energy. 19.“The honey only sticks to the moustache of he who licked it” (Arabic Proverb) Meaning : Evidence of a crime will follow you around. 20. “Dance by yourself and you can jump as much as you want” (Greek Proverb) Meaning : Being independent means you’re in charge. 21. “However long the day, the evening will come” (Irish Proverb) Meaning : All good things must come to an end.

"Talking LAW" with Lember and Williams Solicitors COVID-19 and Your Commercial and Retail Lease
Lember and Williams are naturally fielding calls from concerned Landlord and Tenant clients who are pondering what to do in an environment where businesses face a major economic shock to their revenue, interruption to the flow of supply, issues fulfilling their obligations to the health and
safety of their staff and in some cases, facing lockdown of the premises they occupy. The Covid-19 situation appears to be uncharted territory for the world of leasing, with restrictions on human movement, and impacts on both customer flows and the ability of people to occupy their business operations. However, the current circumstances parallel with any other economic shock that we’ve experienced throughout history and in that regard, it will come down to the willingness of parties to be reasonable and to negotiate variations to current arrangements to ride through the storm. If you are a Tenant or a Landlord and require assistance with a lease or negotiating a new agreement, please do not hesitate to get in touch with experienced Business Lawyer Carolyn Williams who would be more than happy to assist you.

Australia Day Awards Nominations Open 2020 has been unlike anything the Sunshine Coast has experienced before and the community response has been nothing short of inspirational. The Sunshine Coast is home to so many unsung heroes, which is why Sunshine Coast Council has opened nominations for the 2021 Sunshine Coast Australia Day Awards earlier than usual. Mayor Mark Jamieson said it was humbling to see the way our community had banded together in times of crisis this year. “Throughout it all, we’ve heard inspirational stories of individuals and community organisations going above and beyond to support their fellow Sunshine Coast locals, and others well beyond our region,” Mayor Jamieson said “What better way
to honour and celebrate their efforts than by nominating them for a Sunshine Coast Australia Day Award? I encourage everybody to nominate. We’re looking for everyday people, whose efforts in our community often go unrecognised, and who are working to make our Sunshine Coast a better place.” If you know a person, community group or organisation making a difference to the Sunshine Coast community, help them to achieve the recognition they deserve by nominating them for a 2021 Sunshine Coast Australia Day Award. Nominate now in one of the following categories: ❖

Around Division 5 with Cr Winston Johnston
Maleny Community Precinct footpath upgrade.
The Precinct walking trail was identified after extensive consultation, and prior to the adoption of the endorsed Maleny Community Precinct Master Plan in 2010. Given the intended dual pedestrian and bicycle use, the construction of the trail was recommended to be concrete. However, following a site inspection with council officers, a compromise has been identified that will now see the use of
80%. The majority of the trail will now be constructed with compacted decomposed granite. I must inform you though that there are two sections of the trail (total length approx. 200 meters) that, due to the complications of slope and drainage, will still need to be concrete. Officers will monitor the performance of the decomposed granite trail to inform asset management programs.
without direct consultation with neighbouring leasee groups within the precinct and the change to the scope of works is as a result of discussions with Green Hills and numerous emails from concerned community members. The original intention was to construct a concrete pathway from the Platypus Viewing Platform to approximately 300 to 400 metres, now the entire pathway length is just over 1 kilometre and the only sections requiring concrete for safety and erosion purposes, will be 90 metres on the slope down from Platypus Viewing Platform and 120 metres east from the 2.7 kilometre marker, which is indicated on the pathway. It is recognised that the walkway is currently widely used and in the future it is important that everybody, including the infirm and disabled are able to use the pathway.
concrete reduced for the one kilometre trail currently under construction by approximately
In regards to community consultation, I can assure you that the work did not commence
The current track is starting to exhibit wear and tear which will eventually result in greatly reduced grass cover and will become a muddy track, especially as the trees grow and shade the pathway. Consequently, when this happens access by the entire community will be restricted. Picture: area shown in red are the new path works

‘Pride of Workmanship’ Awards
It was Aristotle some 2400 years ago, who first said “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.”
The Rotary Club of Maleny is recommencing their Pride of Workmanship Awards this year to provide businesses and organisations with an opportunity and a way to acknowledge and thank employees for this habit of excellence. Given the COVID19 times, some employees have gone to exceptional lengths to help their managers and businesses in this difficult period.
Nominees for the Pride of Workmanship program will be presented with a special plaque, which has their name engraved on it, in recognition of their achievements.
A dinner will be held at Tranquil Park on Saturday 29th August where the recipients will be presented with their plaques. Nominators will explain the reasons and the achievement behind why each recipient was chosen. This is a great way to publicly recognise their employees for their efforts.
Nominations commence now and the close off date is August 1st. Members of the Rotary Club of Maleny will be going around the community and talking to as many businesses and organisations as possible and giving out nomination forms. As it is impossible to get to everyone, please contact Paulette at paulette.steele@gmail.com if you want a nomination form or more information. It was Mark Twain who said, “Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered – either by themselves or by others.” Let us hope that in our small way, the Rotary Club of Maleny can ensure the light is shone on someone who might otherwise go unnoticed. The Pride of Workmanship Program enables managers in our society to help employees achieve the goal of job satisfaction, and publicly recognise them for their efforts.

J.P. Services in Maleny Just how often have you needed to see a Justice of the Peace in a hurry to sign those pesky legal forms and not known just where to find one? Justices of the Peace (JP) or Commissioners for Declarations (C.Decs) play such an important part in our community as quasi legal practitioners in such roles as witnessing documents such as statutory declarations, affidavits and certifying copies of original documents. We have been very fortunate in the Covid situation that Brian Allen JP was most willing to meet with us privately over the last 9 weeks and help with our needs. The Maleny Library and Neighbourhood Centre will reopen sometime in the future too for JP services but for JP’s to be able to operate, all signing stations firstly are to be properly vetted by the Justice Dept. Before you meet with a JP or Cdec! Do not meet with a JP or Cdec if you: feel unwell • are in self-quarantine or • isolation. If you believe your document urgently requires witnessing, contact the requesting agency or organisation to see if they can accept an alternative arrangement. In the mean time visit the web site below to find a Justice of the Peace or a Cdec. https://www.qld.gov.au/law/legalmediation-and-justice-of-thepeace/about-justice-of-the-peace/

Driving Tests Are Back Queensland learner drivers will be able to sit for their Pplates from June 15 after testing was suspended due to COVID-19. To make sure tests are conducted safely, there will be some new measures in place including a prescreening health checklist, cleaning and disinfectant procedures. Extra driving examiners and Saturday driving tests will mean more tests can be conducted sooner, and priority will be given to learner drivers who had tests booked prior to COVID-19.
