FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH Dear valued advertisers and readers,

​W

elcome to Issue 36! We have been printing and delivering the Bribie Islander Community magazine now for 3 years, Yes it’s true, 3 years in the making!

I would personally like to say a massive thank you to all our advertisers which make this publication possible (and theMINI Bribie Islander Gloss community magazine) all our fantastic contributors who share with the community their wonderful work and

Shop Local, Spend Local, Support our Local Economy of course you lovely readers, who use the advertised services, which keeps our small businesses on the Island and nearby suburbs in business.

We hear that we are having a positive effect on tourism, bringing new visitors to the Island after reading the Islander. I have been told by many locals I have met on my travels, they are posting copies to friends or family in Australia, but also worldwide! Wow! Our new look is here. I decided to change our look slightly, so when you pick up our community magazine you know it’s the Islander. There has been a lot of confusion over the past year and I wanted to differentiate.

Strength to strength.

I have donated as much space as I possibly can over the years to non for profit organisations, clubs, community and alike, continuing to support the locals as long as I am the Editor! Also we have a new member of the team Elly Whetlor my beautiful 8 year old daughter, who, one morning asked me “What are you doing Dad? “I’m writing a story for the paper” I replied. “Can I write one?”

She said. “Yeah sure, you need a title and some words, but you need to pick a subject first” Elly was straight onto it, grabbed a pen and paper and boom, we have an up and coming journo :0) I copied her article as she wrote it, her own grammar and punctuation, this is what our new journalist Elly Whetlor reported :0)

IS THIS A TERRIBLE CRIME?

By Barry Clarke

Noah Markey died at just 5 days old a few years ago.

His grieving mother and friends placed a box of precious beach toys in a box beside a popular children’s beach, near Air Force Park, on Bongaree waterfront.

The sign says it all.

Over the last few years thousands of children have enjoyed playing with these free donated toys in memory of Noahs short life.

They play with the sand toys on the beach, and their parents ensure they put them back in the box for others to enjoy.

As some wore out or were broken, people donated more toys, so that the box was always full and colourfully attractive.

Now they have all gone….box and all !

What has happened to them?

s another exciting issue of The Bribie Islander hits the streets keeping people informed, we couldn’t ask for better weather for the June/July school holidays!

There are always whispers in the community on Developments that may be on the horizon.

A few that I have been asked to address is whether or not there will be a Coles Supermarket at Bribie Lakes. While there is potential for shops as part of the Solana development, no formal approval has been given for that at this time and it is currently a residential application.

There has been no applications or approvals for a Bunnings to be located at Sandstone Point either, which seems to be a hot topic in the Community.

Planning matters come before Council on a regular basis, however this information is subject to a development applications being officially lodged.

Majority of current applications are available

to view on Council’s website via ‘PD Online’ which provides customers with the ability to track the progress of development applications from lodgement through to determination. This online tool enables you to search, view and print property information, mapping and the district planning schemes.

All planning applications that have not yet reached the end of their appeal period are available to be viewed electronically via a computer located at the Caboolture, Redcliffe and Strathpine Customer Service Centres.

Another question I often field is whether there is an official population ‘cap’ on Bribie Island. Whilst there is no official population cap, we are limited in Greenfield Development due to Bribie Island being a large percentage of National Park. What we will continue to see on the island is infill development of existing parcels of land.

As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Council or myself.

A SUPER WAY TO FLY THE BRIBIE ISLANDER

JULY 2017 - ISSUE 36

F

rom of the very first supersonic flight by Chuck Yeager in 1947, the public became more and more used to hearing the pilot of a jet fighter aircraft flying at faster than the speed of sound and regarded this as something that was exclusive to the military. However, by the 960’s aircraft designers were exploring the possibilities associated with offering the option of supersonic flight to airline passengers. Designers from all over the world sunk millions of dollars into supersonic research and development.

Boeing won the American design contract but development was finally stopped due to a 1971 funding cut.

The Russian company Tupolev had some success with their 2144 model which did fly but it’s time was short lived and after a very poor performance record during it’s time in service, it was grounded after only fifty five flights. On 2nd March, 1969, the joint

French and British designed Concorde F-WTSS (production designation 001) took to the air to herald the beginning of what was to be a thirty year period of supersonic airline flights.

Concorde 001 was one of two prototype models of the Concorde that were used to prove that the design calculations for supersonic flight were correct and, until it was retired to the French Air Museum in 1973 it made 397 flights over 812 hours of which 255 hours were at supersonic speed. In 1973 prior to being retired, this aircraft was modified with rooftop portholes and other observation equipment for a solar eclipse observation flight over Africa which lasted over seventy minutes and became the longest flight of it’s kind.

Next came two pre-production aircraft which were used to improve the original design and changes included a different

wing form, different air intake systems and more fuel capacity. Some of the more interesting features of the Concorde included paint that was twice as reflective which was necessary because of the speed, (apparently, during flight the windows were quite hot to touch), an adjustable nose section called a droop snoot which allowed the pilots to see over the nose during take-off and landing and a very thin fuselage. The unique design also included a system which allowed the fuel to re-distribute itself around the aircraft in order to automatically adjust the balance during flight. Capable of cruising at a speed of over1,300 miles per hour or twice the speed of sound, (mach 2) the Concorde was a marvel of design and, due to it’s thin body and delta wing, became known as the paper dart airliner.

Concorde F-WTSA (102), the second of these, first flew in January 1973 and

Aérospatiale-BAC-Concorde-001-F-WTSS

was the first to have the features and shape of the future production models.

In September 1973 it became the first Concorde to fly to the United States and for several years this aircraft was painted in British Airways colours on one side and Air France colours on the other. It made 314 flights before being retired in 1976 and is now on display at Orly Airport in Paris.

The Concorde went into service as a commercial airliner at the beginning of 1976 with both Air France and British Airways offering supersonic flights to the United States in three hours or less and to put that into perspective, the same flight now takes approximately seven hours and the Titanic would have taken 137 hours to cover the same distance. Asa matter of fact the flight time of the Concorde would have only given passengers enough time to watch the movie “Titanic.” Obviously, the

cost of a ticket for a flight on the Concorde was much more than a normal airline ticket at up to $12,000 each and therefore limited the amount of travellers who could afford this previously only dreamed of experience. Concorde travel was very popular with celebrities and one regular was the well known singer, Sting. He once commented that he found supersonic flight exciting and thought that it was so good to arrive at the destination at a time that was actually earlier than when he had left. Unlike normal airline food, the meals that were served on these flights were renowned as being of excellent quality and were said to work very well due to a full French meal taking up almost all the flight time.

At the peak of the Concorde’s time as a supersonic passenger carrier, both

JULY 2017 - ISSUE 36

British Airways and Air France had seven production aircraft in commercial service and one negative factor that was associated with operating the service was the necessity to always have a spare Concorde sitting idle at the other end in case of a mechanical failure. If a passenger had paid for a ticket then they expected to fly on a Concorde and no excuses were accepted.

Travel on the Concorde continued throughout the remainder of the twentieth century but, on July 25th, in the year 2000, an Air France Concorde, (production number 203) crashed during take-off while operating as flight 4590 to New York. The aircraft was the one that had featured in the movie, “The Concorde…Airport ‘79” and had been flying since January 1975.

The cause of the crash which resulted in the death of 113 people was found to be a blown tyre.

Apparently it was already known that there was an inherent problem with the tyres on the Concorde and, as the result of the investigation that followed the July 2000 disaster, the entire Concorde fleet was grounded. This more or less signalled the beginning of the end for supersonic passenger flight and in April 2003, both operators announced the termination of their individual Concorde services.

Analogue instrumentation in the cockpit was very outdated by the year 2003

THE BRIBIE ISLANDER

It seems that there were several factors

The nose section adjusted down for landing

that were considered prior to making this decision and they included the rapidly fluctuating fuel prices, (due to the passenger capacity being only 120, it was almost impossible to absorb a sudden fuel increase across so few fares) as well as pressure from environmental protection groups regarding the suspicion that flying at 60,000 feet was damaging the ozone layer. Other considerations were the increasing demand for passenger comfort, (whilst there was ample leg room on the aircraft, head room and seat width left a lot to be desired), the need to employ specialist crews and the rather outdated equipment in the cockpit.

Research still continues on new ways to achieve sustainable and affordable supersonic passenger transportation but, at this stage, no company has achieved any notable success and if that time finally arrives I somehow doubt that the final product will be as awe inspiring as the SST Concordes that made us turn our eyes to the sky in the later art of the twentieth century.

If there are any readers who were lucky enough to have taken a flight on a Concorde, we would be interested in hearing your opinion on supersonic flight.

with the club. The Sailing Club has Pacer dinghies available and often runs casual races, regattas and get togethers for anyone with anyone that sails. They mainly concentrate on sailing the waters north of the Bribie bridge but do have occasional races and cruises on the bay.

Evidence suggests that the ancient Egyptians were the very first to truly understand how the wind could be used to power their vessels as they plied the waters of the Nile and used sails as a way to assist the efforts of the rowers. Many different sizes and types of vessels have relied on sail power over the last few centuries, some for the purpose of trade, some as warships and some as a way of transporting large numbers of passengers from one place to another. Another very popular use for sail powered craft is as a means of spending leisurely hours on the water without the sometimes annoying sound of an noisy engine.

‘Whether you have a beach cat, skiff dinghy, sports boat or multi-hull, we want to see more boats on the water and more people involved,’ said Bribie Island Yacht Club Vice-Commodore Doug Wilson. ‘’We can help you rig and launch your boat as well as provide advice on how to maintain, repair and sail it. Anyone who has never sailed before but would like to learn is also more than welcome to join,’ he added.

Here on Bribie Island, we are able to take advantage of the waters of Moreton Bay and Pumicestone Passage for our boating activities and, for those who are devoted to sailing, the Bribie Island Sailing Club is currently on a membership drive.

Upside Down Jellyfish

“The jelly fish in the photos (below), lives in the waters in our canal. It has been around on and off for about 12 months that

we know of. For the past almost 3 weeks it has been lying, tentacles up, just by our walkway, and doesn’t seem to have moved at all. Heaven only knows what it

gets up to in the wee small hours of the morning. We have checked its live/dead status, and it is definitely alive. If you get a chance, could you please identify it for us, and perhaps fill us in on its behaviour. We would be very grateful.”

Yours sincerely, Anne and Phil Hargreaves.

This jellyfish is called the “Upside Down Jellyfish” (Cassiopea maremetens). They are characterised by their distinctive markings and unusual sedentary, bottom dwelling behavior. Their lifestyle typically involves the jellyfish lying in sheltered, shallow water with oral arms facing upwards. This posture is thought to provide sunlight to algal endosymbionts (zooxanthellae) within the tissues, although the jellyfish are also plankton feeders. They can cause quite painful stings and are being investigated for their potential to accumulate heavy metals (for bioremediation). There are around 5 species of Cassiopea reported from Australia, mostly from tropical waters.

Highcrown Seahorse

This is an interesting find. Any ideas what this little fellow is called ? Sincerely, Bob Brandis.

That little fellow is most probably a juvenile Highcrown Seahorse (Hippocampus procerus). There are around 340 species of seahorses and pipefishes in Australia.

All Hippocampus species and many other seahorses are on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (http://www. iucnredlist.org/) due to multiple threats.

Oyster gardens and oyster reefs are potential habitat for these species, suggesting that restoration of oyster reefs will help halt biodiversity loss in our coastal estuaries.

Highcrown Seahorse

Foliate oyster

These attractive, clam-like oysters that have recruited to some of the oyster gardens in Pacific Harbour are foliate oysters (Dendostrea folium). They grow to around 10 cm in shell width and occur throughout the Indo-West Pacific from East Africa, north to Japan and as far south as SE Queensland.

Foliate oyster Stone crab These pretty crabs are called stone crabs or slow moving shore crabs (Myomenippe fornasinii). Often mistaken for juvenile mud crabs (Scylla serrata), they are more colourful and relatively slow moving.

They grow to around 10 cm across and are oyster predators, reducing average survival in your gardens. Remove them when you find them! Thanks to Peter Davie from QM for help with the ID.

OYSTER RECYCLING POMS (Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome) is caused by a highly contagious herpes-like virus. Its unfortunate spread into Pacific oyster culture in Australia and more recently into Tasmania is a prime example of why its so important for local residents and businesses to remember that they should never put any oysters or oyster shells they obtain from supermarkets or local retail shops into local waterways. While I’m not saying this is how POMS got into Tasmania (much more likely to have come in on a live oyster attached to a boat), discarding seafood is another possible pathway for spreading pests and diseases.

POMS-like herpes​v​ iruses can infect not only Pacific oysters, but also scallops, clams and mussels. Because of this, our oyster shell recycling project is the only way to go - we ensure the shells are treated in such a way (cleaned and dried out) as to completely remove any threat of transfer of POMS or other POMS-like viruses or indeed any other known pest into local shellfish populations.

For more on the proper way to recycle oysters, see: http:// restorepumicestonepassage.org/oysterrecycling/ I am currently working with local restaurants to roll out Queensland’s first shell recycling program. If Bribie residents want to participate you can now drop oyster shells off at Saviges Seafood (Shop 3/12, First Ave

|9

Service Rd, Bongaree), Sylvan Beach Seafood Cafe (11-13 Marine Pde), or the Sandstone Point Hotel (1800 Bribie Island Rd, Sandstone Pt) as well as directly at the recycling centre at the Ningi Transfer Station, which is already taking oysters (see attached pic), but will be officially opened next Sunday 9th July at 11am.

We are currently getting great support from Oysters on Bribie who are donating around 6 to 12 sacks of oyster shells every week. If anyone wishes to help me with regular transfer of oysters from Oysters on Bribie (oysters in leaky sacks) and/or local restaurants ( oysters in buckets with lids) to the recycling centre please contact me on the details below. Ownership of a ute or box trailer that can be hosed out would be an asset for these transfers. I will be away for 3 weeks after 9th Jul​y​and would appreciate some help with the oysters from Oysters on Bribie while I’m away, which amounts to around 1-1.5 hours every Friday afternoon from 2 pm to pick them up and shift them to the Ningi tip.

HOIST LIFTS BRIBIE POOL ACCESSIBILITY Councillor Savige said she arranged for the hoist to be made available after local residents Michelle Plant and Charron Nicholson approached council earlier this year.

“The Bribie Island Aquatic Centre does have aquatic wheelchairs and ramps for its pools but some residents like Michelle are unable to lift themselves from their wheelchair into the equipment,” Cr Savige said.

“This new device can safely and easily lift patrons from their wheelchair into the pool’s aquatic chairs.

new mobile hoist is helping Bribie residents with a disability gain better access at their local pool.

Moreton Bay Regional Council Division 1 Councillor Brooke Savige has arranged for the purchase of a lifting hoist for the Bribie Island Aquatic Centre to aid residents in transferring from their wheelchairs into the facility’s two pools.

“It provides a greater level of accessibility and means residents like Sharon will no longer have to travel elsewhere to swim.”

HISTORY PAGE

By Barry Clark Bribie Island Historical Society

AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT …CRIPPLED WITH POLIO !

fter more than 30 years effort by Rotary International, the world will soon be rid of the crippling Polio virus forever.

50 years ago there were 350,000 cases worldwide each year.

Many older readers will have vivid memories of young friends wearing leg calipers and crippled for life.

you of another Politician you know.

He was President when Japan surprisingly bombed Pearl Harbour in December 1941 forcing USA into WW2. He committed the United States to the defeat of the fascist powers of Germany, Japan, and Italy, and led the nation and its allies to the brink of victory. This triumph dramatically altered America’s relationship with the world, guiding the United States to a position of international prominence.

The long battle is almost won, but there is still many years of effort required to continue to vaccinate every child in at risk countries in coming years.

While even just one case of Polio remains …….. the whole world is at risk of an epidemic.

In today’s world we need to be reminded of this.

Polio Opera House- Rotary’s long battle to rid the world of Polio.

We must commit to fight , just as Franklin D. Roosevelt did when Polio was a scourge of the modern western world back in the 1930’s and 40’s.

Let us just consider what one man achieved when he refused to give in to the fight against Polio.

The western world has been Polio free for many years now, but the virus still strikes a few people every year in a few countries.

With just a few cases remaining in the whole world today …… the whole world is still at risk.

Perhaps the most famous and high profile Polio victim was American President Franklin D. Roosevelt who served 3 terms as President from 1933 to 1945.

Crippled with Polio, unable to walk, confined to a wheelchair, and having to make decisions that shaped the world for the next 60 years, it is almost impossible to imagine such a thing today.

Faced with the Great Depression and World War II, Franklin D. Roosevelt, nicknamed “FDR,” guided America through its greatest domestic and foreign crisis.

His presidency—which spanned twelve years—was unparalleled, not only in length but in scope.

When you look at his photo he may remind

Franklin -Roosevelt – A remarkable lookalike PRESIDENT. All of this by a man who whose life in a wheelchair was kept from public view and known only by his closest friends.

He was diagnosed with Polio in 1921 at the age of 39, and was left with permanent paralysis from the waist down.

The world has not forgotten the dreadful Polio virus.

This month Rotary International with many global businesses and country leaders have committed a further ONE BILLION DOLLARS to finally rid the world of Polio.

Rotary Clubs around the world have fundraised raised and spent $1.7 Billion for this cause since 1985. Polio cases have been reduced to just 20 cases in the whole world today and Bribie Island Rotary and its many supporters have played their part in this great effort.

Promising a “New Deal” for the American people, FDR was swept into office in a landslide. In his inaugural address, Roosevelt gave hope to dispirited Americans throughout the nation, assuring them that they had “nothing to fear but fear itself.”

As the first disabled American President, and despite the obvious controversy, he became an inspirational figure for disabled people around the world.

By virtue of its newfound political and economic power, as well as its political and moral leadership, the United States would play a leading role in shaping the remainder of the twentieth century.

Do you remember kids like this at school years ago ?

President Hoover.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born in 1882 in New York.. He grew up under the watchful eyes of his mother, whose devotion to her only child was considerable. When he eventually went to Harvard he began courting his distant cousin, Eleanor Roosevelt and they were married in New York City in 1905.

Before he moved into the White House ramps were set everywhere to make it wheelchair friendly and FDR avoided public appearances by addressing the country through Radio. Any pictures of the President were always taken at certain angles and at a distance. Towards the end of his presidency, Roosevelt was getting weaker and travel became much harder to bear. When meeting with Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin at the Yalta Conference, a photo was taken of the three of them. Stalin and Churchill were meant to be standing while FDR was sitting in his wheelchair. Out of respect for the President, both Stalin and Churchill sat down for the picture.

He took an interest in politics and in 1910 ran successfully for the New York State Senate , and in 1913 he joined the US President Wilson administration as assistant secretary of the Navy and played a key role in readying the United States for entry into the world war.

Three world leaders – Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin at Yalta WW2 conference.

Tragedy struck, however, in 1921 when Roosevelt contracted polio, a terrifying and incurable disease that left him paralyzed in his legs.

The focus of world politics is even today on a new and controversial American President.

He fought with great courage and determination to overcome his limitations, and in 1928 won the governorship of New York. The crash of the stock market in October 1929 served as a harbinger of tougher times to come and by the presidential election season of 1932, the Great Depression had only worsened .

Democrats turned to FDR, a popular and successful two-term governor, to challenge

Lets consider the remarkable personal and international achievements of an earlier US President who left a legacy for us all.

Continue to support the efforts of Rotary to RID THE WORLD OF POLIO and you will have been a part of the greatest Medical and Health initiative the world has ever known.

THE BRIBIE ISLANDER

I DIDN’T KNOW THAT THERE WAS ONE HERE

By Neil Wilson

U

ntil I was offered the opportunity to interview Sandstone Point residents Heather and Martin White recently, I was completely unaware that Bribie Island can lay claim to having something that not every equivalent sized community has and I’m talking about our very own orchestra.

Martin White can best be described as a career music teacher and musician who, after many years spent passing on his skills to students in England and his home country New Zealand, came to Australia in 1987, two years after his son Brynley had taken up an offer to join the Queensland Youth Orchestra. Martin and Heather moved to our area in 1989 and before very long, the word had got out and Martin was asked to begin giving violin lessons to students at Bribie Island State School as a private arrangement to be paid for by the parents of those being taught. Apparently the school had six violins that were not being used and some of the students expressed a desire to learn to play them.

As time progressed, the number of

budding violinists increased and Martin was teaching at the Banksia Beach School and at the Bribie Island High School as an employee of the Education Department and he continued in this role for a period of fourteen years. A small orchestra was formed at each of the schools and there was also a combined schools orchestra which Martin told me grew to a strength of fifty five members. ‘I then decided that it would be good to have an even bigger orchestra but there was only a limited amount of interest from the schools,’ explained Martin. ‘This was what resulted in me talking to Heather about forming our own orchestra and so we started to look around for players. That resulted in the forming of the Bribie Island Orchestra in 1993,’ said Martin.

Since it’s inception, the Bribie Island Orchestra has gone from strength and membership now averages between twenty five and thirty musicians. The orchestra has at times been joined by some very noted musicians that include Bert Shepherd who

JULY 2017 - ISSUE 36

| 15

was a founding member of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra and John Noble, an award winning trumpeter. Martin holds the title of orchestra Director and Heather, who is actually an accomplished viola player but plays the violin in the orchestra, is the publicity officer. ‘Heather does an absolutely wonderful job the way she organises everything,’ Martin told me.

Martin and Heather open their home for orchestra practice every Sunday evening and, as well as his role with the orchestra, Martin holds music appreciation classes each Wednesday and also teaches budding ukulele players how to master the instrument.

Over the years the orchestra has been based at several venues around the island and now performs at one of their original homes which is the Bribie Island Retirement Village hall in Foley Street. Concert goers are treated to four performances each year and Heather informed me that the next concert is on July 23rd at 6.30pm. ‘During the first half of the concert we normally play the more serious pieces and then perform a variety of music from shows and television in the second half,’ Martin said.

If anyone would like to either make a concert booking, enquire about joining the orchestra or find out about the music appreciation classes, Heather and Martin White can be contacted on 5497 5818.

PET CARE

By Yvonne Bishop

PUPS IN PRISON Assistance Dogs Australia started this programme in 2002 as a way to train more dogs but also aiming to help prisoners from re-offending. It gave prisoners skills to assist with rehabilitation.

The dogs live in the prison with the inmates.

They attend classes twice a week and also twice a week the dogs are taken out for additional training and exposure to different public places.

To quote one prisoner “Instead of taking from society it provides us with the opportunity to actually give back. From criminal to contributor. I know that at times this job will not be easy, but I also know that will be one of the most rewarding things we ever do. It will be rough when the time comes for the dogs to leave. But in spite of this heartache, I feel it will be well worth it.”

In 1981 a Dominican Nun Sister, Pauline Quinn founded the first prison dog training programme in Washington State. She recognised the therapeutic effects of dogs after one aided her after a stint in a psychiatric hospital. The programme was taken up by other states. In the state of Maine after one year of the programme they noticed a significant decrease in tension in the prisoners and they provided exceptionally well trained dogs.

Prisoners must demonstrate their commitment and interest in the programme and then undergo an interview process with Assistance Dog Australia and Corrective Services before they are chosen. Another prisoner said “the dogs are a joy to work with and knowing that a person in the community with physical disabilities will benefit from all the hard work is all worth it. I will continue to be part of this programme for the rest of my sentence.”

DUNG BEETLES FOR DOGGY DOO-DOOS aspect of co-habiting with dogs. Dog poo is smelly, sticks like mud to shoes, and is often deposited out in the open. Dogs are not tidy about where they leave their poo, as cats are; cats bury theirs, thereby cleaning up after themselves.

Dogs leave their poo out, as a “calling card” for other dogs. It advises other dogs that the area belongs to said defecator, and imparts biographical information too, such as age, sex and reproductive status. Dog poo is coated with anal gland secretion, adding to its pungency, and imparting an individual signature.

A win/win programme for all.

If you have any training or behaviour questions please send an email to thebribieislander@gmail.com and we’ll publish one question per month.

Happy Training, Yvonne

Dogs have long been our “best friends” but doggy doo-doos are a less pleasant

Beetles recycle dog poo, and to boost the beetle population, do not throw your doggy doo-doos away, but instead consider moving them onto garden beds where they’re out of the way. It then becomes beetle food and the number of beetles increases to recycle doggy doo-doos faster.

ISLANDER EXTRAORDINAIRE

JOY ROSS

A

nyone who has been fortunate enough to witness a performance by the group of talented musicians who go by the name of the Bribie Ukulele Strummers would have most likely noticed just how much each of the group members enjoys being able to perform their style of music and, as one of these happy go lucky strummers, Joy Ross is definitely no exception.

I enjoyed it so much,’ said Joy. ‘During that time I played polo cross at Bowral but I was only an average player,’ Joy added humbly.

After her return to Dubbo, Joy spent three years teaching at the nearby town of Gilgandra and then made a decision that would ultimately result in her making such a wonderful impact on so many young people’s lives for the remainder of her career.

A local resident for over a decade, Joy spent her childhood years on the family farm which was near the New South Wales town of Dubbo where her mother was the President of the local CWA branch and her father was President of the trotting club.

From a very early age, Joy became an avid equestrian and, before very many years had passed, she started to win events.

‘I started riding when I was about two or three years old and began competing at the age of seven,’ Joy told me. ‘I began winning events more or less straight away and my Dad was so proud. When I was sixteen I rode at the first Sydney Royal Easter Show after World War Two and I won the prize for Best Lady Rider,’ she said.

It came as no great surprise when Joy also mentioned that she also rode into third place in a race at the first Bong Bong Picnic Race Day after WW II and was a competitor in the Ladies’ Bracelet race at the final Picnic Race Day at the same course before it became the venue for fully registered race meetings.

By this time Joy had met and married her second husband Roy and had decided that she would like to teach special education so, after a successful request, she commenced what was to be a ten year period at Westhaven school. This was a school which catered for children with an intellectual, emotional or physical disability and when Joy started at the school, she was allocated class one, a transitional class made up of teenagers who were being prepared to lead as rich and independent life as was possible. ‘The first few days that I was at Westhaven, I was really worried about what I was going to do with the ones in my class. They appeared not to have been taught very much and quite a few of them was capable of nothing more than writing their name. I used to go home and have a bit of a cry,’ Joy explained. ‘Finally, I got each of them to choose a colour which I then cut from material and we made a big multi-coloured cushion. We raffle that cushion and we earned ten dollars from that. I had decided that I would teach my class cooking so, after buying a couple of mixers and a micro-wave, we used the ten dollars from the raffle to purchase our first ingredients,’ said Joy.

Once her years as a student were completed, Joy trained as a high school teacher and for fourteen years, she taught at Riverstone High School near Sydney before returning to her home town of Dubbo. ‘When I was teaching at Riverstone

As the old saying goes, that was the start of something big. Joy taught her class

By Neil Wilson

how to make cookies, (what we know as jam drops) and before very long, this had progressed from a lesson in cooking to a profitable venture. This initiative of Joy’s became known as ‘The Cookie Co-op Programme’ and before long the class were described as the Cookie Co-op Kids.

Joy explained that by becoming involved in the cooking, packaging and selling of the cookies, the members of class one learned about measuring, baking and handling money as well as socialising. With the complete support of the school principal, the class would go out selling their cookies for a few hours each week and some of the profits that resulted from this were donated and the rest was used to benefit the class.

‘We were making that much money from the cookies that we were able to take the class for a holiday to the Gold Coast on three occasions,’ Joy said. ‘Another project that I got my class involved in was spinning with wool that people had been kind enough to donate and we ended up with so much what we used it to cover a dog that I had cut out from a piece of board. It was then rug hooked and we entered it in the 1982 Royal Easter Show and we were really thrilled when we heard that it had won a prize. I think that these were some of the best times of my life,’ she added.

When her time at Westhaven came to an end, Joy took on a similar role at Glenvale Public School in Gosford and she told me about how, in the Bi-Centennial year, she and her class made a very large tapestry which covered a wall. The pattern on the tapestry consisted f pieces of felt that had been cut to the shape of every student’s hands.

On her retirement from hat could only be described as a career that been responsible for improving the lives of

so many students, Joy and her husband Roy moved to beautiful Queensland and made their home at Beachmere for ten years before moving to Bribie Island in 2005. Whilst I’m sure that Joy has always enjoyed music in the same way that many non-musicians do, it wasn’t until four years ago that she and a friend decided to give local entertainer and music teacher, Keith Haigh, the task of teaching them to play the ukulele. Whilst her friend never followed the lessons through to a successful completion, once she had learned to make beautiful melodies with her chosen instrument, Joy became a member of the Bribie Ukulele Strummers and, along with three other ladies and teacher Keith, can often be heard at various venues around the island. It could be said that music and Joy Ross were made for each other and Joy has admitted to me that if the mood takes er, she will get up during the night and begin to knock out a few tunes on her ukulele.

When I spent time talking to Joy about her career and her life in general, Joy was very quick to point out just how much she valued the help that Roy had given her over the years. ‘He has provided so much support in so many ways,’ said Joy. ‘He has driven the bus when we needed a driver, brought things to me at the school and just knowing that he was there for me as meant everything,’ she said.

As an award winning equestrian, dedicated teacher, talented maker of music and a very welcome member of our local community, Joy Ross is an absolute delight to talk to and has had such a positive difference to the lives of all that have met her due to her extraordinary commitment to all that she does.

CONSCIOUS LIVING Stay well this winter

Winter is such an incredible blessing in Queensland.

Used to the glory days of an nearly all year round summer, winter is barely a blip on the thermometer…. says she a born and bred english woman!

Yet after 16 years here I do feel I have somewhat acclimatised to Australian winters and can appreciate the seasons, where once I used to scoff “what you don’t swim all year round?”

So, no matter which hemisphere, winter is a time of reflection, of gathering in and restoring energies, perhaps overused in the warmer months.

It is a time of warming, easily digestible food, slow cookers, soups and stews to replenish the system and ward off ills. A time of walks in nature, enjoying the milder sun.

However, it can be alluring to become less active in winter, in favour of longer hours in bed and cosy snuggles in front of the TV and ‘treats’.

Food if laden with meat, breads, sugar, dairy, pasta or potatoes can start causing sluggishness in the digestive

As Long As There’s A Smile – Kelly Brouhaha Three minutes thirty nine is all the time it takes for pure folk bliss to fill your ears and flood your soul. That is, if you’re listening to Adelaide artist Kelly Brouhaha’s, “As Long As There’s A Smile”. Tender harmonies, playful guitar and Miss Brouhaha’s husky blues/roots voice compile the happy tune and marry the meaning of the lyrics. Kelly sings, “I can do anything, as long as there’s a smile”. The song is all about choosing to walk through life seeing the beauty of all the easy, hard and everything-in-between things; an outlook that keeps you strong and moving.

Her voice is deep, rich, fun and full of heart-felt experience and her style is similar to that Adele’s or Winehouse. As with most folk music there is an element of storytelling which makes “As Long As There’s A Smile” tangible. Fresh easy listening at its best – thanks Brouhaha!

system, the mind and the respiratory tracts. This may cause indigestion, weight gain, dullness, fatigue and coughs and colds.

Your body however will thank you so much more if you keep up the internal heat. You see the physical body doesn’t like to stagnate, you may have noticed feeling stiffer already in the cooler mornings or suffering with congestion symptoms.

Now, more than ever, is the perfect time to be keeping fit and active, which in turn will aid digestion, clear the mind and keep your immune system stronger and more resistant to bugs. Yoga’s focus on combining breath with movement, tuned to the seasons, makes it number one for all round wellbeing.

So rather than withdrawing altogether to renew energy and risk stagnating, think more of simplifying in order to restore vital resources.

Stay Well!

PROFESSIONAL SKIN AND BEAUTY TREATMENT IN A RELAXED ENVIRONMENT One such business that has opened their doors for the first time in June is Bribie Skin and Beauty. Owner Penny Lodge tells me that her aim is to offer clients the best treatment available in the local area.

Penny has had over twelve years experience in the beauty industry. As well as being a fully accredited beautician, she is also a certified masseuse, which allows her to include a full range of massage services. Penny’s services include hot stone, relaxation and deep tissue massages as a part the range of treatments that Bribie Skin and Beauty has available.

Penny Lodge with the IPL machine

O

ne of the most encouraging signs of a thriving community is when new businesses are opened to cater for local residents.

Penny has ensured that the equipment that she has set up in the very spacious and welcoming treatment room consists of the very latest and hi-tech machines available. As well as a tanning booth, the room contains an IPL machine for permanent hair removal and skin rejuvenation, a very comfortable and fully adjustable treatment bed and the latest hydro-dermabrasion machine.

‘Hydrodermabrasion is actually one step up from micro-dermabrasion and is definitely a lot gentler on the skin. During the treatment it infuses an anti-aging serum into the skin,’ Penny explained. ‘Celebrities are claiming that it is their new anti-aging skin treatment.’ she added.

By Neil Wilson

hydrodermabrasion treatments, Bribie Skin and Beauty offers a great range of other services that include tanning, waxing, tinting, manicures and pedicures. Penny only uses the Australian made product O Cosmedics in her treatments and also has a full range of the product for sale to clients. ‘O Cosmedics is a really high quality brand and it is reasonably priced,’ said Penny. ‘I find it to be completely safe for all skin types and I have had great results from using it,’ she said.

For anyone who would like to experience any of the services that are available at Bribie Skin and Beauty, Penny is offering first time clients a complimentary brow shape, brow tint or eyelash tint of their choice with any treatment received.

idea as to what was beyond it. I must say at this point that if it were not for Arianne’s curiosity, I would still be wondering. The gate is at the beginning of a little used track that leads to the first part of what was the aquarium which is about twenty metres in from the fence. Surrounding the remains of what were concrete tanks is an obviously more recently erected post and rail fence and, just inside the fence is a plaque which tells a brief story about the old aquarium.

s it just me or are there others in the community who believe that all local sites, even if they are of rather minor significance in the scheme of things, should be regularly maintained and promoted as tourist destinations in all information that is available to those who visit our beautiful island?

and also the seemingly lack of awareness of this dedication to such a renowned past member of our community. The second and no less interesting in my opinion relates to my friend and I stumbling upon the dilapidated ruins of a saltwater aquarium which operated at Red Beach for a short time in the early 1960’s.

The question above is the result of two recent situations that I have in some way become involved with. The first of these was when I was made aware of the rather untidy area that is Ian Fairweather Park

Like many others who visit there, we were to allow my friend’s dog, Budd, to exercise in the off-leash part of the beach and as we drove around the parking area we discovered a gate at the far end that left no

The plaque is entitled “The Local Historian’s Story” and in a corner is a photo of well known Bribie Island historian, Barry Clark. According to the information on the plaque, the sea water aquarium was built on a two acre lease in 1962 by Bill Stewart who had been encouraged by tourism incentives that were offered by the Queensland Government after they had agreed to build a bridge to the island.

Consisting of large glass fronted concrete tanks which were screened by shade huts and connected by a network of pipes, the aquarium incorporated new techniques that had been developed by the Sydney Marine Research group and the enclosures were surrounded by lawns, pathways and gardens.

The specimens on display in the numerous tanks were collected by Bill during the time

that he spent diving in the surrounding waters. Sadly, although the Bridge opened in 1963, the aquarium was unable to attract the necessary number of tourists to sustain the venture and was closed in less than a year after being opened.

A little way further in from the gate is a second grouping of concrete tanks which are once again enclosed by a fence.

Both these areas are in what can only be described as a rather neglected state and, whilst it would most likely be a completely unviable proposition to restore them to their original condition, there is a lot to be said for spending some time making the ruins more presentable, erecting more signage and promoting this site as an integral part of the Bribie Island that was.

A Pretty Accurate Anecdote A Group of guys, all turning 40, discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Wetherspoons in Uxbridge because the waitresses had big breasts and wore mini-skirts.

Ten years later, at age 50, the friends once again discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Wetherspoons in Uxbridge because the waitresses were attractive.

The food and service was good and the beer selection was excellent.

Ten years later, at age 60, the friends again discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Wetherspoons in Uxbridge because there was plenty of parking, they could dine in peace and quiet with no loud music, and it was good value for money.

Ten years later, at age 70, the friends discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Wetherspoons in

Ten years later, at age 80, the friends discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Wetherspoons in Uxbridge because they had never been there before.

Submitted by Daniel Williams Bongaree I always hold my wife’s hand when we go out if I did not she would go shopping.

A car hit an elderly Jewish man. The parametic asked “Are you comfortable ?”

“I make a good living” I just got back from a pleasure trip. I took my mother in law to the airport.

Photo from William O'Brian

Verdoni Street resident is both angry and mystified following an incident in which his two garage doors were the target of obscene graffiti and a sign was stolen from beside his front door recently. The house owner describes the sign which reads, “The Loony House”, as very distinctive and he told me that he had it hanging outside his front door at his previous house as well.

‘All that I want is for the sign to be returned and the matter will go no further,’ said the owner.

‘I am sure that someone knows where it is or will eventually see it hanging on someone’s wall,’ he added.

The man believes that the perpetrators of this completely senseless crime were only young and asks that parents keep an eye out for his sign. The incident occurred somewhen between the hours of 4.30pm and 8.30pm on July 2nd and, at this stage seems to be an isolated occurrence in the Bellara area.

Locals' Only is made up of members of the community that have a deep passion for their home and music and who want to leave a social, economic and musical footprint in their locality for everybody to enjoy.

LOCALS' ONLY HISTORY

t’s 12.50pm. Ten minutes from the start of another talent filled 4 hours at the Blue Pacific Hotel beer garden at Woorim. It is the last Sunday of the month, and the back corner of the beer garden is filling up with musical instruments, stands, racks and cases.

One by one each instrument is being sound checked through the P.A. system. The running sheet is finished, and once again, it looks like a tightly packed show … AND IT’S TIME … Time for the ‘Locals’ Only’ Show as the announcer welcomes everybody, and introduces the band members – Maryanne Cannon (keyboards, flute, harmonica & vocals), ‘Gentleman John’ Girgenti (drums & vocals), ‘Lonesome Dave’ Moore (bass, electric guitar & vocals) and Keith Haigh (lead guitar, ukulele & vocals). These folks have the dubious name of ‘The Whambam Thank You Band’. At times, they are joined for the first set by Peter Orr (lead guitar & vocals), Col Shields (lead guitar & vocals) or Matt Stevenson (saxophone & vocals).

The show begins with a 15 - 20 minute opening set, and then a vast array of different performers, from different age groups and various genres. The upside of this being if you are not fussed on one artists’ music, you can go to the bar, get a drink and by the time you’ve returned there’s something different happening.

The ‘Locals Only’ Show began in January 2008 and next January will be the 10th anniversary. The then publican, Peter Johnson said “we’ll give it a 3 month trial and see where it goes from there”.

‘Locals Only’ has featured a great many recording artists (too many to mention here), a few rock’n roll legends (Yes!), and mostly young aspiring performers keen to tryout their own music with the help of expert backing, professional equipment and a great sound system. Many of these young performers have gone onto record their own music, or go to the one of the many music colleges, and are performing all over the country.

is to promote community spirit and advertise musicians to the community around the Bribie Island area and further abroad where possible. We hope to provide funding for some of our acts to be professionally recorded so we can help them to really get their name out into the public eye. We also aim to bring as much business as possible into venues that support us in our quest to accommodate performers of all ages and help them towards their own goals.

Email: luluspartyhire@hotmail.com www. luluspartyhire.com

The success of the show has been overwhelming, to say the least, with visitors from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, Maleny and even Townsville, coming to participate, or just see what talent is on offer.

With a brief break in 2010, where ‘Locals’ Only’ tried other venues, they were asked to return to the Blue Pacific Hotel at Woorim, after which it was coined ‘our spiritual home’.

‘Locals’ Only’ is a family show, featuring at least 15 acts in four hours, in a welcoming atmosphere which is kid friendly. A BBQ manned by the Chef raises funds for different charities. The Hotel (Blueys) also utilises some of the performers for other fundraising events. They also donate a $50 Performer of the Day voucher which can be used in the Bistro or Bar. ‘Locals’ Only’ is a standalone variety show and not a ‘walk up mic’ show or jam session. The musical skills of the backing band, and some of the seasoned performers has to be seen to be believed! The younger performers can stop the beer garden in its tracks. At the last concert, a young lady aged around 12 years, did exactly that. You could hear the crown whispering to each other to be quiet.

In 2013, it was decided by one of the organisers to write a book about ‘Locals’, but as each month goes by, the shows presents more new performers, new acts and bands – the size of the book grows. ‘Locals’ Only’ hopes to be able to publish it next year as part of the 10th Anniversary Celebrations.

Come and visit us on the last Sunday of every month from 1pm until 5ish, have lunch, sit back and enjoy some of the most gobsmacking entertainment on Bribie Island Every Friday night, between 4 pm and 9 pm, Blueys presents some of that rare talent with BBQ and free raffles. Admission is FREE at all events.

ick Comino is his name. He often refers to himself as Nick the Greek but we at Locals Only know him as Elvis Parsley.

Nick was born in Gympie to Greek parents and grew up in Kallangur.

The passion for Elvis and his music began during his primary school years. Without any formal training Nick took to the mike like a fish to water. However as he was a shy child it took thirty years for young Nick to manifest Elvis Parsley.

His first public appearance was at Southbank on Elvis’s birthday. Radio station 4KQ was hosting a talent quest and invited Elvis impersonators to audition. Twelve Elvises were selected and Nick was one of them. Thus the shy boy from Kallangur became Elvis Parsley.

His fruit shop Grapeland at Woodford became his stage where he serenaded his customers.

These days Nick lives at Woorim and devotes his time to taking care of

his mum and dabbles in a bit of gardening. For now Elvis Parsley only ventures out during the day.

The Famous Fish & Chips Shop Rosie's Tasty Chicken

He is no stranger to Bribie Island where he spent many years fishing with his dad. Nick loved it so much that twenty years ago he decided to claim his turf on the island.

Famous Sausages

Elvis Parsley was at the very first Locals Only show where he performed Return to Sender. Elvis has been an avid supporter of the show ever since. Whenever he can he is there.

Nick is unlike any other Elvis impersonator. That is because he is not impersonating Elvis, he is paying tribute to the man he loves, and true Elvis fans appreciate that. His intention is to have fun, make people happy, have a laugh and share the love for Elvis and his music. We love his ability to be himself and share his infectious sense of humour with us.

ROYAL SPOONBILL

By Marj Webber

Platalea regia Adults and young at Bibimulya Wetlands

oyal Spoonbills are very common breeding residents on Bribie Island found in shallow waterholes, wetlands and along the waterfront on the mudflats.

You may also see them in roadside pools or flying overhead. They are often in the company of Australian White Ibises.

and neck are held straight out in front. If flying in a group they form a V formation.

There is only one other spoonbill species in Australia which is the Yellow-billed Spoonbill that has only rarely made an appearance on Bribie Island. Just recently one was spotted at the Toorbul roost.

They are large white birds about 80 cm in height with black legs, bills and faces and a yellow patch above the eyes. They are not easily mistaken with any other bird. Females are a little smaller. When in flight the bill

When foraging for food the carnivorous Royal Spoonbill uses its spatula shaped bill in a sweeping motion to scoop up fish and shrimps. Inside the spoon of the bill are many vibration detectors. These detectors allow the birds to feel the prey as it enters.

They then throw back their heads and swallow. The detectors also allow them to find food in muddy water and at night.

Because of the shape of the bill they are restricted to feeding in water around 40mm deep or less. Shells are removed from

shrimps and crustaceans by beating them against a hard object.

During the breeding season which can extend from October to March both male and female display a crest of white feathers at the back of their heads which can be up to 200mm long. Female crests are shorter.

Breeding birds have yellowy patches on their necks and breasts and pink strips under the crests on their foreheads. The crests are fluffed out during mating displays.

Royal Spoonbills are monogamous and nest as a pair usually in colonies which often include other birds such as Ibis, Egrets and Herons. Nests are mostly found in the tops of trees near water. They are bowl shaped and built of sticks and lined with leaves or reeds. The nests are often used again and again.

Taking a Bath

Two to three white speckled eggs are laid and are incubated by both parents. After hatching both parties take on the task of feeding the chicks. When fledged the young birds remain with their parents for some time. They are able to feed themselves but most often persistently demand to be fed. I have witnessed adult birds becoming quite agitated by the constant badgering for food.

When breeding the Royal Spoonbills do not like to be disturbed. They are likely to leave their nests and eggs if they become stressed.

Royal Spoonbills have adapted well to human habitat where shallow artificial lakes and waterways have been introduced.

Their conservation status is secure.

BIRTHDAYS CELEBRATING AN ACHIEVEMENT

By Neil Wilson

The idea of celebrating birthdays actually dates as far back as ancient Egypt when, as pharaohs were considered to be gods, the date of their coronation was celebrated each year as their birth date as a god. As it so happens, this edition of The Bribie Islander is issue number and that means we are celebrating our third birthday.

believed that each person had a spirit that attended his or her birth and kept watch. It was thought that the spirit had a mysterious relationship with the god n whose birthday the individual was born. They offered a moon shaped cake to their god Artemis as a tribute to the lunar goddess and added candles to emit a glowing effect.

This being the case, I became a little bit curious as to the history of birthday celebrations and, after a few searches, discovered some little known facts about the history of birthday celebrations in earlier times. Apparently, the tradition of marking the date of your birth has links to paganism and the belief that evil spirits lurked on days of major changes such as the day that a person turns a year older. In fact at that time, many Christians refused to celebrate their birthdays due to this association with the belief of the Pagans.

When the Romans began to celebrate birthdays, it was a tradition reserved for men only and women were not permitted to celebrate a birthday until the twelfth century. By the time of the eighteenth century the popularity of birthday celebrations had increased greatly and it was German bakers who invented the modern birthday cake for children and also began the tradition of adding candles to the cake.

Along the same line of thought but with a slightly different twist, the ancient Greeks celebrated birthdays because they

Interestingly, the song that we associate with wishing someone a happy birthday originally was written with different words.

Morning To All” and it was not until 1924 after an adaption of this song by an American man using the same tune that “Happy Birthday To You” became the standard birthday celebration song. An early twentieth century court action by one of the Hill sisters resulted in the proceeds of this adaption being shared with the Hill’s estate and the value is estimated to be circa $2 million each year.

Birthdays are a way of marking another of being alive and of succeeding in what we aim to do with our time on this Earth and the team at The Bribie Islander are proud to be able to celebrate thirty six months of providing the local community with a publication that supports local business and provides an insight into the local issues that are important to local residents.

HAWK MOTHS JUNE 2017 @

Commercial Coxswain and Vice Commodore Liz Radajewski pins on Graham Parker‘s Crew epaulettes Conclusion of another beautiful day on Bribie Island.

Vine Hawk Moth

Larva - Note eyespots

O

ne morning I walked into my garden and found my normally healthy Pentas plant completely stripped of leaves. On further inspection I discovered several large caterpillars on the bare stems. I took two inside, made a little shelter and fed them until before long they escaped captivity and disappeared somewhere into the house.

Some time afterwards two large moths appeared inside. I caught, photographed and later released them both. After some research I believe that they are Vine Hawk Moths, Hippotion rosetta. The caterpillars are either brown or green with eyespots. This particular species is found in SE Asia, the Northern Territory and Queensland. They are quite colourful and have a wingspan of about 6 cm.

There are more than 850 species of Hawk Moth in the world with over 60 species in Australia. They are a largish moth with fat bodies looking rather like an f111 fighter jet with their streamlined wings. The head and body are contained in one unit. Because they resemble raptors in that they are strong fliers and hover in flight they are known as Hawk Moths. When feeding they hover, insert their long proboscis or sucking mouthpart into the heart of the flower and suck the nectar. When their proboscis is not being used it is coiled.

They are usually most active in late afternoon or night although some species are day fliers.

When at rest their wings are held in a swept back position. In flight they make a whirring sound.

Several species of Hawk moth are the only pollinators of the paw paw or papaya flower.

Farmers like to have host plants growing near their plantations to be sure their crops are pollinated.

The Caterpillars are 60-80 mm long and have an upright tail or horn on the last segment of their bodies. They have a voracious appetite.

In no time at all they will have a plant stripped bare of all foliage. Ornamental garden plants are a favourite food source for the Hawk Moth larvae. They are often quite colourful which helps with their camouflage. Some have stripes or eyespots which are a deterrent to predators. If disturbed they sometimes regurgitate a green fluid.

They pupate in soil or leaf mulch close to their host plants and the temperature determines the length of time before the moth emerges.

Adult moths live from 10 to 30 days.

HEART OF A ROSE

Written by Sharmayne Kurtz

Watching the full moon by the BBQ Sipping the wine and admiring the view Peace and tranquillity of the cottage by the sea It is a combination of all three?

Dark red velvety petals Curling slowly backwards Towards the outside edge As though stretching As the day dawns awakening new life.

The beach cottage has stood the test of time 50 years old with a revamp of mine We lived in it for 2 years Trying to hang onto its framework and veneer The stories of people that came and went Who lived in its space and time that was spent Calling it home a cottage by the sea Would have been nice but it was not meant to be The asbestos unravelled the chance to update This little oasis by the gate As the furniture moved out and there was just a space The feeling of home just escaped The walls and the windows and vacant doors Reminded me of a cremation wall So what makes a home in a frame of wood?

Is it the paintings the rug or the table that looks good The photographs on the hutch the budda at the door

How the spirit of the self combines with the space Is home a unit or a place?

Peace and acceptance love and care This is what home is do not despair No matter what framework you live in with life It can be an old house a new house a caravan all right The seeds of home is within your heart It is how you create it right from the start Don’t spend your life wishing for more Time is too precious life walks out the door No matter what space you are in right now Create it with love a feeling some how When people come into our house by the sea It is the spirit created by your family tree

Written by Hazel King

Dew dripping slowly downwards A few drops glistening in the morning sun Like priceless jewels twinkling With each breath of air whispering across the rose.

The fragrance of this flower beyond compare Man has sought to copy it, but cannot, No matter how hard he tries.

The touch of the leaves silky smooth To sensitive fingertips, Like a lover’s skin fresh from a warming shower And glowing under her partner’s caress.

And nestled in the centre Hiding beneath the petals As though acting as a protector, A soft bed of pollen laden fingers Waiting for industrious bees to touch down, To carry on the life of this glorious flower.

One can become lost in its depths, Forgetting time, Bathed in its aroma, Pondering on the beauty In the heart of this rose.

The flowers in the vase the carving out back Plants in the garden or the vegetable patch Aromas of the dinner just before the meal

FREEDOM’S LEGACY

half is just the feeling of renting them out and having them sit on my desk even if I don’t finish them. Anyway, a few weeks back I rented out, “The Diary of Anne Frank”, on DVD. Yep, it was one of those movies that two seconds in makes you start analysing everything in your life. Made me feel pretty silly about the things I worry over. The story follows the Dutch writings of young girl, Anne Frank, who hides with her family for two years while the Nazi occupation went on in the Netherlands. It was both moving and revealing having the insight of a young mind laden with hope as well as constant threat. Truly, if there was one thing that the story of Anne inspired it is to hold freedom sacred.

inter in the subtropics of Queensland is a glorious phase; chilly enough to rug up at night and consume plates of hearty meal yet warm enough to continue your daily routines in the sunshine. This time of year always symbolises a sleepy but steady growing period for plants, animals and humans alike.

Holidays have commenced in my world now which means a lot more free time to read, explore, cook and catch up with the people and things I’ve missed from busyness. Having free time is a funny sort of thing though; often we perceive holidays as a time to drop responsibility, however I think it’s the most important time to pick it up! Freedom is a valuable thing and more so how we use it.

One of my favourite things to do when my schedule loosens is to pop into the local

library and collect an interesting bunch of books and movies. I have to be honest, half of the enjoyment is reading and the other

We know that freedom never comes free, someone must pay the price and history recounts its bargaining tool as life and bloodshed.

and bring its bounty to those in chains physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

We must challenge ourselves to take up this sword every day and ask ourselves, “How can I honour those that fought with their life for mine? Look at it this way: when someone buys you a very good gift how do you show appreciation for it? Would you not use it? Freedom is not any different. We must use our freedom.

To me this looks like waking up every day with plans for productivity. Not working ourselves silly, but steadily working toward goals and dreams. Using our God-given gifts and talents, creativity and skills for both personal and public enjoyment.

Sharing our knowledge, wisdom and experience with others and mentoring the young. To me its waking up every day loving those we have around us right and remaining steady with them through the easy and hard times. There is no excuse to live selfishly nor blandly, you were given the right to life, now live it.

THE BRIBIE WINELANDER

he Australian wine industry began in a somewhat low-key fashion on 24th January 1791 when two bunches of grapes were cut in the Governor’s garden from cuttings of vines brought three years before from The Cape of Good Hope. The site of the garden is now occupied by The Hotel Inter-Continental in Sydney’s Macquarie St.

Between 1820 and 1840 commercial winemaking was progressively established in New South Wales, Tasmania, Western Australia, Victoria and finally South Australia.

The industry was based on the import of vine cuttings from Europe as there were no grape varieties native to Australia and by 1870 a substantial industry in winemaking had grown around the country and in that year 8.7 million gallons was produced. Twenty years later Victoria alone was producing twice that amount, more than South Australia and New South Wales combined but as we mentioned last month disaster was about hit with discovery of Phylloxera, a grub that attacks the root systems of vines, which changed land use to animal farming and a swing away from dry white wine production to fortified wines.

After Federation in 1901 with the removal of trade barriers and the establishment of vineyards in The Riverland area along the banks of The River Murray in South Australia now became the largest producer of wine in Australia and was producing 75% of Australia’s total wine production. Between 1927 and 1939 inclusive Australia exported more wine to The U.K. than did France, mainly because of the Imperial Preference system which gave countries within The Empire advantages over non-Empire countries, perhaps an indication of

what is happening in Europe today?

Most of this wine was fortified being massively alcoholic, a good preservative for the long journey to The Mother Country, made from red wines grapes from North East Victoria, The Barossa Valley, The Southern Vales and marketed under the Emu wine brand. In the 1950’s with the development of stainless steel tanks and cold fermentation saw the massive increase in the production of white wines and the large companies such as Penfolds, Wynns, Kaiser Stuhl, Orlando (Gramps) moved into The Coonawarra, Padthaway and McLaren Vale which also saw the beginning of the decline of fortified wine production which unfortunately continues to this day.

In The 1980’s a large “wine lake” evolved in South Australia and this led to premium wine finding its way into that great Australian invention the four-litre cask and the solution was to pay the vineyards a fee for pulling the vines, a move that a few years later came to bite the industry firmly on the bottom!

During this period many 100 year old vines were sacrificed, especially around The Barossa Valley. Then all of a sudden the U.K. discovered Jacob’s Creek and within months we started to run out of wine, mainly premium red wine, this led to looking outside the square and Grenache which was mainly used in fortified wine production was re-discovered and there are some great examples of oldvine Grenache especially from McLaren Vale and The Barossa, look for Richard Hamilton’s Burton’s Vineyard, an absolute cracker.

consists of the towns of Nuriootpa, Tanunda, Rowland Flat and Lyndoch. It derives its name from The Barossa Ranges, which were named

by Colonel William Light in 1837 in memory of The British victory over the French in 1811 in The Battle of Barrosa however due to a clerical era it was transcribed as Barossa!

Tanunda is mainly of German extraction, Angaston is considered the English town and Nuriootpa a mixture of both German and English. Not only famous for wine production there are a lot of German butchers in this area and the smell of smoked meats as you wander the high streets is amazing, also there are many fine restaurants. The area has seen the birth of many of Australia’s most best known wineries including Penfold’s, Yalumba, Orlando (Gramps), Basedows, Grant Burge, Chateau Tanunda, Elderton, Henschke, Peter Lehman, Rockford, Schild, Seppeltsfield and Torbreck. These are only a few of the 150 or so vineyards in the area so it would be prudent to spend a couple of days visiting the region.

There are a couple of events held in The Barossa which are certainly worth visiting, in late March and early April every couple of years they hold a week-long festival to celebrate the end of vintage. The Barossa Valley Vintage Festival draws visitors from all over the world and has a huge street parade finishing at the show grounds where they have grape stomping, wine tastings and local bands performing. In August each year there is a three-day food, wine and art celebration Barossa….Be Consumed Gourmet Weekend which showcases the best of The Barossa.

Unfortunately with the mergers of wellknown brands many of old favourites have disappeared off our shelves probably never to be seen again, brands such as Kaiser Stuhl, Seaview table wines, a number of Seppelt labels. I actually contacted Penfolds to see if they would be interested in having me sell Summer Wine which when deleted was still selling over 100,000 cases annually but the answer was in the negative, which surprised me as with the climate in Australia if you can’t sell a product with the name Summer Wine, I think you should give up your job in marketing especially with the development of sparkling Moscato, just my opinion.

The next wine dinner for The Beefsteak and Burgundy Club will be mid-July for anyone interested.

Jonathan Swift may have found comfort in wine at some time in his life when in 1738 he penned: Wine is the best liquor to wash glasses in.

In 1771 John Wesley writing in his Journal: Wine…..is one of the noblest cordials in nature (after Cottees that is) Hilaire Belloc praised wine in verse: (There may be some religious groups that may disagree) Wine, true begetter of all arts that be; Wine, privilege of the completely free; Wine, the foundation, wine, the sagely strong; Wine, bright avenger of sly-dealing wrong.

ACCOUNTING & TAX Building your financial security

“Specialist advisors to business”

NEW LOCATION FOR AN ESTABLISHED BUSINESS

A well known fact is that longevity in the market and reputation are the main indicators to be considered when assessing the success of any business. If we apply these guidelines to Bribie Island businesses, OBT Accounting and Tax, the results can only be described as impressive.

Commencing on the island in July 1997 after buying the accounting business owned by Michael Quinn, Peter O’Brien, relocated here from his home town of Laidley after deciding that the lifestyle (for lifestyle, read fishing) greatly appealed to him. Along with a business partner, Peter had operated a successful accounting practice in the town of Gatton since 1984. “When we started, there was just the two of us and a receptionist,’ said Peter. ‘The business grew to a point where we had a total of twenty one people in the office and in 1997 we built our own premises in Gatton to accommodate the growth,” he added.

After a short time in premises at Banksia Beach which were occupied

by Mr Quinn at the time of the sale, OBT moved to offices above the Coffee Club and remained there until the beginning of this month

when they relocated to a more prominent position at 5/128 Goodwin Drive, Bongaree (near Aldi). ‘Where we were above the Coffee Club, there was a flight of stairs which was a challenge for some of our older clients so we felt it important to eliminate that issue by occupying ground floor premises,’ Peter explained. ‘Also, the parking availability is much better,’ he said.

Peter told me that OBT has clients all over Australia as well as overseas and specialises in accounting and taxation for small to medium sized businesses. OBT considers asset protection and the correct business structure for clients of utmost importance as well as minimising where legally possible the impact of taxation.

After spending some time talking to Peter O’Brien of OBT Accounting and Tax, I have to admit that it became easy to understand why his thirty three years as a professional accountant and ten years in business on Bribie Island have resulted in the wonderful reputation that he now has both locally and in areas far and wide.

“CHILDREN ARE NOT BROKEN, THAT’S JUST THE WAY THEY COME OFF THE SHELF…”

By Veronica Mercer, (Mental Health Accredited Social Worker)

M

y work allows to meet some amazing people, from who I learn about human behaviour. Each day I am inspired and touched by people’s stories, their strengths and capacity for growth.

A lovely young lady and her Mother introduced me to the concept that people are not broken, they are just born the way they are (come off the shelf). This is a very powerful message we all need to take on board. We tend to label and judge people in society and quite often this is due to our own ignorance.

When at the local shops recently, I noticed a boy being carried by his mother; his age suggested it was odd for him to be carried. I noted he was also distressed and constantly seeking assurance from his mother, crying and making loud noises. I noticed that other people were smirking and rolling their eyes at his behaviour. I politely pointed out that this young boy was obviously autistic and praised how well his mother was managing him. After all, “…he was not broken, that is just the way he came off the shelf”.

It is unusual if young children are not naughty, defiant and impulsive at times. The reality is that there are children who display difficult and challenging behaviours that are not normal for their age.

The most common disruptive behaviour disorders include; • Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), • Conduct disorder (CD) and, • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

These three behavioural disorders share some common symptoms, so diagnosis can be difficult and time consuming. A child or adolescent may have two disorders at the same time. Other exacerbating factors can include emotional problems, mood disorders, family difficulties and substance abuse.

Risk factors for children’s behavioural disorders The causes of ODD, CD and ADHD are unknown but some of the risk factors include: • Gender – boys are much more likely than girls to suffer from behavioural disorders. It is unclear if the cause is genetic or linked to socialisation experiences.

• Gestation and birth – difficult pregnancies, premature birth and low birth weight may contribute in some cases to the child’s problem behaviour later in life.

• Temperament – children who are difficult to manage, temperamental or aggressive from an early age are more likely to develop

“Each child is a gift, they do not come with a set of instructions. They learn from what they see, hear and how they are made to feel…” behavioural disorders later in life.

fatigue by getting hyperactive.

• Family life – behavioural disorders are more likely in dysfunctional families. For example, a child is at increased risk in families where domestic violence, poverty, poor parenting skills or substance abuse are a problem.

“From the outside, they make look very energetic, but really, it’s the opposite,” says Gruber. “It has been proposed that one reason for hyperactivity is that it helps children stay awake.” (G. J. DuPaul, PhD, coauthor of the 2011 book “Young Children with ADHD: Early Identification and Intervention”).

• Learning difficulties – problems with reading and writing are often associated with behaviour problems.

• Intellectual disabilities – children with intellectual disabilities are twice as likely to have behavioural disorders.

• Brain development – studies have shown that areas of the brain that control attention appear to be less active in children with ADHD. Diagnosis of children’s behavioural disorders Disruptive behavioural disorders are complicated and can include numerous factors working in combination. For example, a child who exhibits the delinquent behaviours of CD may also have ADHD, anxiety, depression, and a difficult home life.

Diagnosis methods may include: • Diagnosis by a specialist service, which may include a paediatrician, psychologist or child psychiatrist • In-depth interviews with the parents, child and teachers • Behaviour check lists or standardised questionnaires.

A diagnosis is made if the child’s behaviour meets the criteria for disruptive behaviour disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders from the American Psychiatric Association.

It is important to rule out stressors that might be disrupting a child’s behaviour. For example, a sick parent or victimising by other children might be responsible for sudden changes in a child’s typical behaviour and these factors must be looked at.

Children who experience behavioural issues have the potential to become dysfunctional adults. Earlier the intervention, then better the outcome is likely to be (www.betterhealth.vic. gov).

Studies have shown that children with ADHD tend to be hypo-aroused. Unlike adults, who typically slow down when they’re tired, children with or without ADHD often manifest

Treating Behavioural Issues Treatment requires a multifaceted approach; consideration of the disorder and external factors contributing to it.

Areas to Focus on: • Parental education – for example, teaching parents how to communicate with and manage their children.

• Family therapy – the entire family is helped to improve communication and problemsolving skills.

• Cognitive behavioural therapy – to help the child to control their thoughts and behaviour.

• Social training – the child is taught important social skills, such as how to have a conversation or play cooperatively with others.

• Anger management – the child is taught how to recognise the signs of their growing frustration and given a range of coping skills designed to defuse their anger and aggressive behaviour. Relaxation techniques and stress management skills are also taught.

• Support for associated problems – for example, a child with a learning difficulty will benefit from professional support.

• Encouragement – many children with behavioural disorders experience repeated failures at school and in their interactions with others. Encouraging the child to excel in their talents (such as sport) can help to build self-esteem.

• Medication – to help control impulsive behaviours.

Non-Medication Approach: Recent research from Psychiatrist and Psychologists that supports focusing on behavioural interventions, that parents, teachers and others can use to help kids focus and control their impulses. There is research that demonstrates that more exercise and longer sleep can help.

Sometimes parents, teachers and

paediatricians can be too quick to prescribe medication for ADHD. Particularly in the case of stimulant medications, which are the most common treatment for ADHD. The reality is that any long terms affects from being on stimulant medication are unknown (Professor Neef, Special education at The Ohio State University).

Unfortunately, medication doesn’t address problems related to the children academic performance and relationships with family members, peers and others. “Even though medication can be effective and very helpful, it’s not a panacea,” (Neef 2013).

Important Options • Parent programs. These interventions focus on teaching parent’s strategies for helping their children succeed. One such approach is to catch children being good. One of the things that all adults involved need to do is notice them when the child is doing the right thing and then label and comment on it so they’re getting attention for good behaviour.

• Teacher programs. These programs offer teachers behavioural strategies for the classroom. They include giving straightforward, one-step-at-a-time instructions to children and announcing the consequences of not paying attention ahead of time. Another effective approach is contingency management. With this strategy, children receive daily report cards that outline how well they have met such goals as speaking in turn or bringing their homework back to class. When they meet those goals, they receive awards.

• Therapeutic recreational programs.

Programme’s typically includes brief social skills training sessions plus coached group play incorporating contingency management strategies. In addition to learning social skills, participants also learn sports and team membership skills.

There is no “one size fits all” approach for managing children’s behaviours. Behavioural strategies should be the first line of treatment for young children with ADHD. The challenge is sustaining the programs by the adults involved in the child’s life.

Ideally early interventions will support better outcomes, particularly regarding, “bridging the gap between students with attention problems and their peers” (G. J. DuPaul, PhD).

These children are not broken, “A child whose behaviour pushes you away is a child who needs connection before anyone else” - Kelly Bartlett Wishing you good mental health.

JUNE CRIME REPORT

Community news: During the month, the Older, Safer, Wiser forum was held at the Bribie Island RSL. The event was well attended, and I appreciated the opportunity to assist in hosting the forum in our community. Senior safe related information is available from the station should you wish to know more.

Traffic operations: Officers from Bribie Island participated in several operations targeting traffic and drug driving offences as well as traffic and public order in the off-road and beach areas.

Arrests were also made as the station’s property crime related activities continued to be conducted.

Bribie Island Police assisted officers from the Road Policing Unit in conducting Operation Papa Process, targeting drug and traffic offenders travelling across the Island.

A large number of vehicles were intercepted for roadside breath tests, resulting in positive drink drivers being detected. However, several drug drivers were detected off only a minimal number of tests, which is highly concerning. A number of traffic infringements were issued and some persons charged with a range of traffic offences.

Officers from the Road Policing Unit also attended the area several times and issued a number of infringement notices, mainly for speeding, driving defective motor vehicles and license related offences.

Traffic enforcement will continue to be a priority during the school holiday period. With the large number of visitors attending the Island at this time, I ask that all drivers obey the road rules and drive safely.

During the month, officers from Bribie Island conducted joint patrols of the off-road area and Main Beach with rangers from the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service Bribie Island. The offroad area has seen a marked increase in visitation in recent years, and patrolling those areas is now a regular and important part of policing Bribie Island.

Drivers were breath tested and infringements were issued, mainly for speeding and failing to wear seatbelts, including having children unrestrained.

Several penalty notices were also issued for failing to have permits and other parks related offences.

Joint patrols with our rangers are scheduled for the coming weeks.

Property: Property offences have continued to be a problem this month, with several vehicles and residences being entered. In the majority of instances, vehicles and dwellings were not secured, which is unfortunately helping to facilitate the offences.

I would ask all residents to ensure that their vehicles and homes are secured when unattended, and that the station is contacted immediately should you see anyone suspicious in your area, or suspect an offence is taking place.

Domestic violence: During June, officers attended several domestic violence incidents. Some of the incidents involved the contraventions of protection orders and some required applications for protection orders to be made. The other matters were referred to counselling services.

If you or someone you know is living with domestic violence, help is available. Please contact the station on 07 3410 9222 for more information.

A place for kids, and adults, to come to and where children are able to learn about themselves and how God fits into their life. That is how Team Leader Lyn Dippel described the increasingly popular “Messy Church” which is held at the Bribie Island Uniting Church on the second Sunday of each month except for December and January.

Margaret and Lyn explained to me how they believe that a lot of folk are looking for a positive and nurturing place to bring their family and whilst in the modern world there does not seem to be a lot of places where we can enact that, the church is an environment where the young can learn about and experience integrity, honesty and love. ‘We are asking our older members to be a part of raising our families,’ they said.

HELLY’S CELEBRITIES OF THE 20TH CENTURY

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE - RUDOLF NUREYEV

Helly Kemp 1970: It’s only nine years since Rudolf Nureyev took the greatest leap of his life by defecting into the West and adapting instinctively to the permissive age of a free society. In this short time he has become legendary and I just have to find out why.

We are sitting on high bar stools in an isolated wing of London’s Covent Garden Opera House. Meeting the ethereal Rudolf Nureyev for the very first time face to face, it’s hard to believe he’s flesh and bone like the rest of us.

The proud head and perfectly proportioned body are more like those of a Greek god. He has captured the essence of our time, yet he is as timeless as a myth.

Even when he’s standing still he has the vibrancy of a wild stallion. Without doubt he is a prince among men, though he was born almost a beggar. His first contact with life was a raw, poverty stricken childhood of continual hunger and cold. He lived in one room among ten people from three families. On the first day of school his mother took him there in his sister’s cot because he owned no shoes.

So, what makes him tick?

“Ah,” sighs the idol of the ballet world with a friendly smile, “You want me to do the ticking.

Okay.” And he does.

His dark blonde hair, straight and long, falls freely over his forehead, just touching his eyebrows, sliding over his ears and tapering into his neck.

Although he is 32, when he talks happily, there is an urchin look about his face. It is the face of the young Tartar boy from the Russian Ural Mountains. His mother and three sisters still live there in Ufa and he phones them regularly from London.

As Nureyev speaks he reveals the vital elements that shape his life and maintain his international eminence through his performing ability. He does not feel he owes anything to the world, nor the world to him.

“It is simply an urge to perform – something inside. It is never total sacrifice because I

will do my thing whether I get paid or not, no matter what the conditions or circumstances.

By now I have danced so much it is difficult to say what compels me, but early in life I could not exist without dancing.

“There is always a fight between mind and body. But it is getting more and more of a mental effort. I have to force my body to do what my mind works out and all that in complete unity. My mind suffers if my body moves the wrong way.

“I have set no particular time for stopping. But the moment I see there is no more value left for me and for the public, then that will be the end of it.”

As I listen silently, in awe of his intellect and overpowering charisma, the atmosphere is surreal. I feel as though I were listening to some superior being from a parallel world, certainly not ours. It’s the first time I am nervous and apprehensive in the presence of an interviewee, until Nureyev pulls me right out of it.

“Mind you, I do think of stopping before each performance. It’s quite a frightening experience going on the stage. I get nervous every time. No matter how much I love my work, sometimes I wish I were not a dancer.

“But it is a great gift to be able to command my body on stage and when I achieve a good performance it is a wonderful feeling. Maybe I should have been a pianist.” Music from Bach to the Beatles is Nureyev’s other passion – almost a religion.

His hands are like a pianist’s, expressive, even just holding a cup of tea. His fingers are long and slender. He does not touch his face or stroke back the long fringe of hair – just keeps flicking back his head quickly. Sitting cross-legged on the high stool, he flexes his right foot inside crinkly, black patent boots.

But the state of excitement and pleasure he transmits on stage turns into something more formidable in private life. It’s all in his face, his wild burning eyes – a mixture of tenderness and brutality, a smile full of hidden daggers one second and childlike simplicity the next. He keeps radiating this sense of not really belonging. Perhaps it all stems from the day he was born on a train, when his mother travelled to visit his father in the army, “the most romantic event of my life,” he insists.

Nureyev responded to simple melodies at two, saw his first ballet at five, felt genuinely drawn to dancing at ten, gave his first performance at 12 and entered the Leningrad Kirov Ballet School with 11 hours work a day at 17.

He was constantly assured that he would be an utter failure or an outrageous success, with the emphasis on the likelihood of utter failure.

I just can’t imagine this extraordinarily disciplined and romantic figure being a failure at anything. Even speaking of solitude has a flavour of romance about it.

“We are all basically lonely people. We are born alone and we die alone. In between we have companions. When we’re alone, we yearn to be with someone and when we’re with people we often wish to be alone.”

And when I ask the non-conformist Nureyev

how he thinks of himself, he turns on his stool, is pensive for a moment, then smiles, baring large white teeth and making me smile in return, as he discusses a problem I too have suffered with all my life.

“Most times I am rather contented. But then people come up and ask me what’s wrong and why I look so grim. I tell them I am perfectly happy – just concentrating, contemplating. But they never believe me.”

He raises his arms, shrugging his shoulders in mock despair. “It’s all misjudgements, misunderstandings!”

His reputation for being temperamental, especially with ballerinas, has spread as widely as his fame. And he does not deny his fiery outbursts. “I only become temperamental about what is important to me – dancing. And when someone upsets me I let off steam. On the contrary, I often regret not letting off steam when the occasion arises.”

Having been described as the sexiest living dancer, with something of Garbo’s trick of stirring the senses of both men and women, he commands an aphrodisiac power – a man who knows exactly what he wants and how to get it, a man who always seems in complete control of the situation.

“You must believe in your own power, the ability to do the impossible,” he assures me.

Nureyev is a very private person who does not wear jewellery, not even a wrist watch, loves fast cars, late nights, his extensive rags to riches wardrobe and is arrogant but not vain. There are almost no mirrors in his homes and he never lets photographers or the Press into these sanctuaries: his elegant Victorian house in London’s Richmond Park and his villa in

Monte Carlo.

So where do ordinary human emotional relationships fit in?

“Emotionally dancing drains so much out of me that sometimes there isn’t much left to give. And yet there is a fantastic need for it.

But are there really those who can share and stand the burden? You can only have about six close friends at any one time in your life.

There is not the capacity to have more.”

His friends include Liza Minnelli, Jackie Onassis, Maria Callas, Paul Getty, Princess Margaret and yacht-hands in Monte Carlo.

Nureyev once refused to dance for the court of Monaco unless the yacht-hands were allowed to attend. But although he leads this well-peopled life, he has little solitude.

Nureyev instinctively still walks through it all alone.

Only with the great Margot Fonteyn, 20 years his senior, is there true harmony and the fusion of two magnetic forces – the gently fragile and the threateningly primitive, and something which accentuates in Nureyev’s dance his own vulnerable rag-doll quality.

“Meeting Margot was the luckiest thing to happen to me. Our pas de deux is the dialogue of love!

What she gives me is her vulnerability. She invests herself in me. You have to feel concern, be flexible and accept to do things not all your own way. A partnership like this grows like a marriage, little by little.”

Although their love is platonic they will do anything for each other.

It is a selfless friendship on which each relies unconditionally.

And as we part Nureyev whispers to me what his mother told him a long time ago.

“Love many but trust few!”

John Cupper - Ma Pa and the Baby

John Cupper - On Painted Pond

he theme for the month was “Minimalism” and was won by John Cupper with a shot of a tiny plant struggling for life on a cliff face titled “The Will to Live”.

Gary Bradford from the Sunshine Coast was our attending judge who critiqued each of our photographs and gave us some helpful photography hints.

John also won the remaining two Digital Image categories with an unusual shot of three Stilts “Ma Pa and Baby” and a beautiful shot of a wood duck titled “On Painted Pond”. “On Painted Pond” was picked as the photo of the month by our visiting judge.

The photography outing for the month was at Bibimulya Wetlands, always a popular venue. The members who attended had their photos shown in a slideshow. As expected the majority of photos were of birds such as Magpie Geese. Plumed Whistling Ducks, Egrets, Herons, Spoonbills and many more.

A Portrait Workshop by John Lomas is being held at the Arts Centre in 16th July.

Places are limited and pre-registration is essential. A fee of $65 applies. If interested contact Gordon orGail.

Vince Bowser was the winner of the two print sections. A picturesque, autumn image of the “Shotover River” won the colour section and “The Winding Road” was the Mono winner.

Gail, who attended the Queensland Photography Society Convention, gave us a report on the interesting activities and workshops which were on offer for the duration of the long weekend at Brookfield.

After the meeting supper was served and members enjoyed refreshments and a chat.

The Bribie Island Photography Club meets on the fourth Monday of each month at 7 pm in the Board Room at the back of the Arts Centre on Sunderland Drive.

New members are always welcome. The first two meetings are free. If you wish to come along ring Gordon at 3410 1279 or Gail at 3408 9850 or just turn up on the night. You will be most welcome.

YOUR ZODIAC FORECAST

JULY MONTHLY FORECAST FROM OSCAR CAINER Teletopia. Max call cost $1.32 per minute, including GST. Higher charges from mobiles/payphones may apply. Customer care: 1300 366 702.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Can you remember why you came here?

When we try to think back to the world we must have inhabited before we arrived in this one, we just draw a blank! Yet I’ll tell you what you didn’t choose to visit Earth for. It wasn’t for the stress, pressure, hassle or hardship. You never said, ‘Hey, I know, I’ll go ride an emotional roller-coaster?’ Or, ‘Great. I can spend my time struggling to pay bills.’ You came here to feel and share love. And as your ruler conjuncts the Sun at the New Moon this month, expect a wonderful and timely reminder.

July is a powerful month for you. Find out more. Call MTN 083-900-8536 or Vodacom 079-008-4034.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) As we head into July, it’s important that you think carefully about what you love in your life. It’s not that you need fear it being taken away, nor worry that you’ll no longer enjoy it, but there’s a sense that some of the most meaningful elements are going to be set in stone. And a change of heart is far harder to achieve once encased in the foundations of our lives. So if you want to explore alternative desires, or discover hidden sides of yourself, this is a good time to take action. Once the cement dries you’ll grow stronger, but less agile.

In July, the power of the planets can change your life. Call MTN 083-900-8536 or Vodacom 079-008-4034.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 22) Satellite navigation systems have an option in their ‘Settings’ menu called ‘Shortest Routes’. To the uninitiated, this may seem like an obvious mode to activate. But, soon they’ll be skidding cross-country, down tiny tracks, across streams and through gated woodlands. The best way from A to B is rarely direct. It’s not the shortest route you need to take in July, it’s the most efficient one. And, with Venus in your sign, linking to Saturn, what you may now resent as a detour can become an essential part of a positive process.

July brings great potential for change. Call MTN 083-900-8536 or Vodacom 079-0084034.

CANCER (June 23 - July 23) This should be when you’re in your element. When every seed you plant comes up a rose. If you feel like dancing and do, you should score 10 out of 10 for originality and execution. But life isn’t quite so simple - because, although these things are possible, often you feel as if you need permission to do the things you want, or to have what you desire. The trouble with permission is that we invariably worry too much about someone saying ‘no’. This month, concentrate on what you would do if you hear a ‘yes’ instead. It’s actually far more likely.

Four minutes on the phone can make July special. Call MTN 083-900-8536 or Vodacom 079-008-4034.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) The Sun entering anyone’s sign is big news. But it’s your ruler. When it enters Leo this month, it’s a bit like discovering money in your pocket and heading to the shops, only to find that they’re auctioning everything you desire at bargain basement prices! Now, they say you can have too much of a good thing. With Mars in the mix, it’s worth having a budget in mind, just in case you get caught up in the excitement.

Yet you’ve nothing to fear. You’re brave, brilliant, kind and charming… and about to discover that your life is charmed as well.

Inspiring times await you in July. Call your NEW forecast: MTN 083-900-8536 or Vodacom 079-008-4034.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Much of your time this month, preceding your ruler re-entering your sign, will feel like the build up to a special event. Like a host city preparing for the Olympics, it’s time to get your infrastructure in place.

You want to be sure that you have spare capacity, resources and the support required to take full advantage of this celestial celebration. It’s been a long and not always comfortable ride. But you have a real opportunity, not only to make sense of what you’ve been through, but to see how close you are to something wonderful.

Be ready for the magic on offer to you in July. Call MTN 083-900-8536 or Vodacom 079-008-4034.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) If you intend to scale mountains, you eventually must also descend them.

Where’s the mountain that grows as fast as you ascend? Where’s the challenge

that rises before us as fast as we rise to it? For adventure like this, we must quest for integrity. If we aspire to be aware, enlightened and wise, we’ll never stop striving. Every time we think we’ve made progress, we’ll be back at the start! Yet in July, as your ruler Venus traverses the whole of Gemini, your ups will count for far more than any downs.

July brings a rare cosmic opportunity for change. Call MTN 083-900-8536 or Vodacom 079-008-4034.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) What does it mean when your two ruling planets oppose each other? Are you going to develop a split personality? Are you forever going to be searching for what you want? Or finding it and realising that you don’t have the power to use it? These are all possible, but it would be a gloomy way of looking at what could be a fantastic opportunity. Be positive when exploring new situations this month. Life brings you the opportunity to achieve some of your deepest desires, as long as you don’t let doubt or fear check your progress.

Don’t miss your inspiring in-depth forecast for July. Call MTN 083-900-8536 or Vodacom 079-008-4034.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 December 21) Sometimes, we all push our luck a little.

Life without adventure of some kind, is really no life at all. What you’re doing now may not be wise, but, at least, it’s fun! Or, at least, it has the potential to bring you great enjoyment, as long as you don’t push yourself too far, too fast or too furiously.

With Mars’s link to your ruler, and the Sun’s positive connection, events promise a month of discovery and delight. Prepare to learn more about yourself, your potential to be successful, and your ability to deepen an essential relationship.

Your in-depth forecast for July is ready.

Call MTN 083-900-8536 or Vodacom 079008-4034.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) We all like to be well thought of. We appreciate recognition for our strengths, especially by those whose opinion matters most to us. This month, you need to realise that you have the ability to confound people’s expectations. Someone has underestimated your capabilities. And as I know, and you should also be aware, that’s a serious mistake. The Cosmos is bringing

you the opportunity to demonstrate just how powerful you are. And a grand, magnanimous gesture will do more than anything to enhance your reputation.

Discover why July has so many opportunities. Call MTN 083-900-8536 or Vodacom 079-008-4034.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Maybe at the end of July, you’ll be able to sit back and decide whether you’ve enjoyed the month or not. How can you possibly do that now? The best you can hope for is an appraisal of your own expectation. Perhaps you think it’s due to be wonderful. Or dreadful. That anticipation may colour your experience but it could yet be proved wrong. As an astrologer though, I can give you your review of the month in advance! I can tell you now that it will prove surprisingly good.

Don’t be put off by minor annoyances. Be energised instead.

There is inspiring news in your in-depth July forecast. Call MTN 083-900-8536 or Vodacom 079-008-4034.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) A few years ago, there was big storm on social media about a dress that, depending on who was looking at it, was either black and blue, or white and gold. Recently I read about a picture of strawberries with a blue filter on it and the red pigment removed. When we see this image, our brains recognise the object, and fill in the colour we expect to see. This month, life may play tricks with your mind. But instead of seeing something that isn’t there, if you believe that it is, you’ll manifest the sweetness that the universe has to offer.

Your in-depth forecast for the whole of July can really help. Call MTN 083-900-8536 or Vodacom 079-008-4034.

BUSY FINGERS

WHERE DOES YOUR GENEROSITY GO

L

ast month I mentioned the new gymnasium that has been installed at the Bribie Island retirement village which is proving very beneficial not only for the mobility of the residents but also their quality of life, which is very gratifying to all the people who work at Busy Fingers.

Today, our Treasurer Derek and I had the privilege of attending the official opening of the “Busys Gym”. Bryan Mason, the Director of Seniors and Supported Living Church of Christ attended, as did our councillor Brooke Savige, Deputy Mayor Mike Charlton and Rick Williams MP. After the usual introductions, speeches and the official cutting of the ribbon came the most important part of the morning for me, the people who are getting the benefits of the gym. We were really pleased to see some of the residents using the equipment, a slow relaxing exercise which they all enjoyed and were happy to share their experience with us. Craig Wilson, the Physiotherapist, actually beams with pride when he sees their achievements and their enjoyment when using the equipment; it is also a chance for a chat and catching up with the news of the day. It was a very enjoyable

morning and we hope the gym continues to grow and increase the health and quality of life of the users.

This month I would like to mention another group that we support “The Diabetes Support group of Bribie Island”, each year we help to obtain camp places for the young diabetics on the island, these children age from 6 months to 18 years old, and the camp experience is so beneficial to their wellbeing. The camp program gives the children the chance to meet fellow diabetics who share the same issues they do, as well as someone to talk to.

A few years ago I was told a boy at the camp met another boy who actually went to his school and only lived a few streets away – a friendship was born. The advantage of going to the camp is that children and families get an opportunity to meet other children who have Type 1 diabetes just like them. The great activities keep the kids busy by going to the movies, swimming, theme parks and outings, this gives the kids a sense of freedom, and they all “fit in” no one looks out of place while they do their blood sugar levels or injections/ pump delivery. Their parents can have a bit of respite, knowing that their child is being

Join us for a fantastic day on the course at Bribie Island Golf Club… All proceeds from the day will be going to Bribie Island Surf Life Saving Club and keeping our beach safe.

Shop Local, Spend Local, Support our Local Economy well looked after by the health team and amazing volunteers. There is that word again VOLUNTEERS. Many charities dealing with different issues rely so much on volunteers, who are worth their weight in gold.

We have happily supported Bribie Island Diabetes Support Group for many years now, providing places for the camp. The group itself has many fundraising events throughout the year; the most recent was the” Walk for Us” Family Fun day on the 28th May raising $3000. The support group also raises funds to help purchase insulin pumps for people who will benefit from their use. Not getting too technical, these pumps are very expensive averaging approximately $10,000; the pumps are able to deliver minute amounts of insulin 24 hours a day and require line changes every 3 days, this is more accurate than injections and are both lifesaving and life changing for the people using them. If you have any questions about the group or wish to join, help or donate to Diabetes Support please contact Jan on 0430 226261.

STEALING It is with deep regret that we had to call in the police on another case of stealing the afterhour’s donations, which the community generously leave for us. On many occasions we have advised that we can no longer tolerate the continual stealing incidents, and in future we will be prosecuting the culprits. These people are not stealing from us but the Bribie Island community who benefit from the funds that are generated from the generous donations we receive.

If you have items for us please try to bring

them during opening hours, or call us on 3408 1014 and arrange for a pick up, even if you work during the day we can make other arrangements for you, so please call and speak to our Manager Sonia.

On a happier note, I would sincerely like to thank Mavis Howard, a lovely lady who gives up some of her time to collect toys and nic nacs to make up the Lucky Dip bags that are for sale on our counter. These bags are very popular with the kiddies and they sell really quickly especially during school holidays.

Mavis started doing this a few years ago and enjoys giving to the community, so Thank You Mavis for bringing smiles to the little ones faces.

I sincerely thank Richard and his wonderful team of the Bribie Islander for their continued support of us and the Island. Hope to see you in the shop soon. Sandra

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor, In his latest letter, C. Frost trots out some of the many myths and misinformation peddled

by Peter Dutton. The cynical fear-mongering that conflates refugees and terrorism, the fiction of “refugees living in luxury at taxpayers’ expense”, the denigration implied by referring to people as “so-called” refugees.

I suspect that C. Frost’s reference to “refugees” is actually to asylum-seekers. He might like to know that Mr Dutton’s recent rant comes after the Government stopped accepting or processing applications. That’s right, people were actually not allowed to apply for asylum for several years, and no work was done on existing claims. Now, after cutting the departmental resources needed to process the backlog of claims, Mr Dutton sets a short timeframe for applicants who have been patiently waiting for years.

By the way, if someone is actually found to be a refugee, it would be illegal to “send them back where they came from” – it would be a breach of Australia’s commitment to the UN Refugee Convention to do so.

As the head of the ASIO said recently, there is no evidence linking refugees to terrorism.

I know some people like to ignore facts that don’t support their opinion, but there it is.

The tide of refugees is a problem for the whole world, not just Italy or France, not just Papua-New Guinea or the USA, and definitely not just for Australia. As a life-long bleeding heart, I’m proud to be someone who gives a damn about other people,

particularly those less fortunate than the few self-satisfied citizens of a wealthy country who wail about a tiny number of people wanting our help.

Tony Longland, Bellara

Dear Editor, Just received the paper and have read the two articles and think they are great.

Busy’s has to thank you sincerely Richard for doing this for us, as it not only alerts the islanders of what Busy Fingers Fundraisers is all about, but also that it is their generosity through donations of goods and shopping at the store that makes it happen. We must also thank Craig for mentioning us in his article too, as often some of the people we help forget to do this. The more publicity we get from the support we give, the better it is for us as it often results in more volunteers coming to help.

Mina Frost, the lady who started it all, passed away a couple of years ago, but I am sure she would be so pleased by what is being accomplished. About 1980, She gathered a few friends together who cooked and knitted and they set up a stall outside IGA on the water front, hoping to raise funds to build the Charles Adermann nursing home in the retirement Village, and from then it just grew and expanded, firstly moving to old cinema ( now the Baptist hall) in Cotterill ave, until that building was too small, then thru the generosity of Churches of Christ we moved into the current building,

which has since been extended twice. The retirement village is always our priority, but over the years we have been able to support many other associations, kindy and schools on the island. At all times the Funds remain on the island focusing on the very young thru to our elderly.

Craig, I shall expect a good story from the gym for next months article.

Once again Richard thank you so much for your help and friendship.

Hope you both have a good weekend.

Cheers, Sandra Dear Editor, The recent article about Ian Fairweather Park and its raison d’etre will be of interest to some long-time residents and probably many newer arrivals.

The practical aspects of the park’s current condition and continuing care need further exploration.

Perhaps volunteers from Bribie’s diverse and burgeoning numbers of Bribie’s artistic community could contact Council in this regard?

Val Watson

Dear Editor, Letters to the Editor - Repeat after me - I say Repeat after me.

Without sounding like I am repeating myself why are we continually getting repeat after repeat programs especially films.

We are about to see the film GLADIATOR again I think at least the 3rd or 4th times in the past 6 - 9 months.

It is just as bad that we get chapter after chapter of Meet the Hockers, Meet the Hockers or Criminal Minds, Criminal Minds, Criminal Minds, The Big Bang Theory, followed by The big Bang Theory or The Goldbergs, again followed by the Goldbergs!

Or we will see in our TV Guide To be advised.

With the pay these TV Executives are on I expect better and what we are being dished out is absolute rubbish.

The TV Guide proves to be just that – A GUIDE!!!

Start programing properly come on viewers start having your say.

Disgruntled viewer.

Ps I hope I do not have to repeat, repeat I say repeat myself again in a week or two from now. pps Copy sent to Broadcasting Minister Amy Adams C Frost Dear Editor, The Bribie islander and the Minnie Bribie Islander is making an impact in so many ways.

I forward both to over 300 people and groups in Australia and Internationally by email I have just heard from a Rotary family of six from Texas meeting up with their Australia family in Noosa for one month which they do every year.

Because of the publications they decided to stop in on Bribie and fell in love, cutting their visit to Nossa by 3 weeks to spend it on the Island renting 3 houses.

They used the publication for all shopping and entertainment and felt that they were given the greatest, friendliest service by your advertisers.

One family member invested in a unit on Bribe to use regularly when visiting Brisbane from Townsville for business.and they have booked accommodation for four weeks in July 2018.

What a greet injection to Bribie Island Economy and the proof that KEEPING IT LOCAL really works.

Thank you again for your caring about the community and for providing your advertisers an opportunity to promote their business’s.
