FROM THE EDITOR THE cover says it all this week – ‘It’s showtime’. After a forced one-year break because of COVID the Maleny Show is back and looking forward to bringing you all the wonderful things that people love about the show! From my experience over the years that can be plenty of things. For lots of us it is a great chance to catch up with friends and neighbours who we don’t get to see that often. However, for some it is the madness of the rides, the shear unhealthy delight of a dagwood dog or sitting watching the horses competing in the ring. And the good news is all of these important elements of the show will deﬁnitely be on oﬀer, along with a whole bunch more. For the organisers to meet their

COVER

It’s show time for monster trucks By Sonia Isaacs Clark WITH the Maleny Show all set to wow the crowds this weekend, excitement levels are through the roof. The final details of the entertainment program are locked in for what promises to be a truly epic two days of entertainment this Friday-Saturday, May 28-29. There will be many traditional family entertainment favourites to delight all ages and provide all the fun of the fair, including a bumper side show alley, the popular horse and dog jumping events, 30-piece Buderim Concert Band, buskers and ten local school bands from Glenview, Maleny and Montville. This year’s monster truck and firework extravaganza will feature Australia’s number one Monster Truck Outback Thunda, which is set to blast the entertainment program to a whole new level. Clive Featherby, from KC’s Fireworks Displays Australasia, said that as well as putting on fireworks displays for more than 30 years, he had been driving monster trucks for more than 20 years, with more than 2,000 performances under his belt both nationally and in 15 countries including the USA, Canada, New Zealand and China.

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

“The Maleny Show is our local show, so we really want to give the best of everything we’ve got,” Clive said. “Friday night will be quite big with six-bar horse jump events followed by a solid preview of the Saturday night extravaganza, with fireworks and laser shows both nights. “Saturday night is when we really let rip with monster trucks, freestyle motocross and comedy acts, and a massive fire and light multimedia spectacular. It will be one of the biggest entertainment nights ever seen at the show,” Clive said. Friday night will feature a teaser show featuring the Dipsy And Tipsy Comedy Car Act, which will have cars competing against each other for the title of Maleny’s worst driver based on who can roll over four times first. Outback Thunda will do a drive around the main arena. One lucky winner on the night will get the opportunity to have a passenger ride in the 4.5 tonne purpose-built mega vehicle. Saturday night will feature the full extravaganza program kicking off at 6.15pm with a massive entertainment line-up including Dads on Bikes

motorcycle comedy race laps, junior quad laps, Dipsy and Tipsy Comedy Cars, FMX KAOS unleashed motocross show, barrel races extraordinaire, the Human Torch inferno act with flaming walls of fire and the monster truck freestyle show featuring jumps and launches over other vehicles. The program will conclude with a massive fire and laser light multimedia spectacular set to music filled, fire twirlers, LED suite dancers and more in a 15-minute fabulous finale that is sure to provide unforgettable memories for years to come. See you there!

A new age for Conondale students MALENY Blackall Range Lions Club made the largest single non-subsidised purchase or donation in its history when it donated almost $12,000 to Conondale State School this month for the purchase of four ﬂatbed interactive television screens, mountings, cabling and installation. Following an unsuccessful application for a federal grant, a request for a subsidy was made by another local organisation and the local Lions Club decided the students’ need for assistance was too great to ignore. The new screens, which are state-of-the-art equipment, are currently being introduced to schools where the P&C can supply them. While the small school of 64 students now has a very small P&C, in the past equipment like this would have been only a dream. As the school has only four classes, one screen will be provided in each classroom replacing the old, worn out whiteboards that stopped being interactive quite a few years ago. A projector will be used to provide vision from apps on teachers’ laptops. The screens encourage students who have a limited attention span for chalk-and-talk teaching to become involved as most would already use apps on phones and other devices at home. Robotics and coding are being introduced in all high schools and this new technology will give these primary students a working knowledge before they transition to high school. With the school’s current low enrolment, acting principal Scott Willis is hoping this technology might attract additional students living in the area to attend their local school instead of travelling to schools on the coast where this technology is already available.

Maleny Community Forum on nbn

Lions Club member Judy Brodie with Conondale State School’s acting principal Scott Willis Both the school and the Lions Club are eagerly anticipating the delivery of the new equipment and the staﬀ is also looking forward to the professional development training to use the new technology. The club has a great relationship with this tiny school, assisting Chappy Becky Francis to provide breakfast, clothing, shoes and school requisites throughout the year. Club members are extremely happy to provide the best equipment to aid the students’ learning as well. Lions International president Dr Jung-Yul Choi’s theme for the year is ‘United in Kindness and Diversity’ and Maleny Blackall Range Lions Club members know that the impact of this equipment goes far beyond the work of “helping hands in kindness”.

MALENY Forums will host a community forum for residents of Maleny and surrounds on Monday, June 7 at 5pm on issues raised by residents about the nbn. The issues include that access to the nbn locally will not be of the same standard and speed as in city centres. The aim of the forum is to increase community understanding and awareness of the issues and possible solutions. Maleny resident Richard Proudfoot said that after waiting since 2011 for a high-speed connection to the Australian taxpayer-funded National Broadband Network, he was told by an nbn technician that his house could not be connected. Guest speaker at the forum will be Marcello Massi, the community and stakeholder manager from NBN Co, Federal Member for Fisher, Andrew Wallace, plans to attend and an invitation has been extended to a representative from Telstra. The forum will be held in the Maleny Community Centre. Registrations are essential via www.trybooking.com/BRKSI

Voluntary assisted dying laws to be introduced A bill to establish voluntary assisted dying laws will be introduced to Queensland Parliament this week. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the bill’s introduction fulfilled a commitment she made before the state election last October. “For many, this will be the most important work this parliament will do,” Ms Palaszczuk said. “We’re committed to delivering a $171 million investment in palliative care options but many people who have watched a loved one suffer feel passionately that there must be a dignified alternative. “Equally, there are those whose opposition is as deeply and sincerely felt. “That is why, when the time comes, government MPs will vote according to their conscience. “This must be beyond politics. “I urge all Queenslanders to follow the debate and participate in it with the utmost respect for other people and other points of view,” Ms Palaszczuk said. The Premier said the community could now read the Queensland Law Reform Commission (QLRC) report on a legal framework for voluntary

assisted dying. The commission’s draft legislation would be considered by cabinet. The bill will be introduced to parliament and referred to the health and environment committee for further public consultation. “The commission listened to a range of health practitioners, organisations that support or oppose voluntary assisted dying, religious bodies, unions, legal bodies, members of the public and many more,” Ms Palaszczuk said. “The result is proposed legislation that QLRC has intended to be ‘compassionate, safe and practical’. “All interested parties will be able to have their say on the ﬁnal shape of any legal framework through the committee process.” Deputy Premier Steven Miles said any legislation needed to meet the needs of Queensland’s diverse population and take account of access to specialists. “The draft legislation recognises everyone has an inherent dignity and should be treated with respect, and their autonomy when making end-oflife choices should also be respected,” Mr Miles said. Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said

previous work by parliamentary committees had found health practitioners were generally supportive of voluntary assisted dying and supported it being legalised in Queensland. “It’s important there are appropriate safeguards in place to protect both those who seek to use voluntary assisted dying as an end-of-life option, and medical practitioners and entities asked to participate in the process,” Ms D’Ath said. “That’s what the QLRC has sought to accomplish with a staged process. “Under the draft laws, more than one medical opinion is needed and there are requirements around eligibility and decision-making capability as well as provisions for medical practitioners to conscientiously object. “These laws are also being developed at the same time as we are advancing our election commitment to invest $171 million to deliver more palliative care options across Queensland,” Ms D’Ath said. Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman said the QLRC had done an outstanding job in considering the wide views of a

diverse range of stakeholders. “This is a challenging area of law with considerations needing to be given to state and federal legislation,” Ms Fentiman said. “It is such an important piece of legislation for so many Queenslanders and we need to get it right. “There will be further signiﬁcant consultation and I encourage anyone who wants to have a say to do so through the committee process.” The QLRC has recommended that to access voluntary assisted dying a person must: • Have an eligible condition that is advanced and progressive, and expected to cause death within 12 months • Have capacity to make a decision around end-of-life choices • Be acting voluntarily and without coercion • Be at least 18 years of age • Satisfy residency requirements including being an Australian citizen or permanent resident, and being a Queensland resident for at least a year Under the process proposed by the QLRC, a health practitioner must assess a request to access voluntary assisted dying and, if that is approved, it is referred for further assessment.

Community farewell for popular Elimbah teacher

Congratulations to Andrew of Glass House Mountains

By Sonia Isaacs Clark ELIMBAH State School is farewelling teacher Liz Mulholland, who is retiring after 23 years at the school. The school community has organised a special event to show their appreciation for the popular educator. All past and present students, and their families, will have the opportunity to come together at the Elimbah Sportsground on Saturday, June 5, from 10am-1pm, featuring a special cake presentation ceremony at midday. Event organiser Michelle Lederhose said Liz was a wonderful down-to-earth person who started her teaching career nearly 40 years ago. Liz had supported countless generations of students through their primary school years. “Over the years, Liz has selflessly given her time, generosity and passion that obviously comes from the heart, benefitting all the children she has taught including my own,” Michelle said. “Not only is she a wonderful role model and friend to students, but also to many parents, and she has always been extremely generous with her time for families both in and outside of school. “We will all miss her greatly,” Michelle said. Liz started her teaching career at Armidale Teacher’s College in 1981. Her first teaching position was at Moranbah State School in 1984 and in 1989 she transferred to Bribie Island. She later moved to Tullawong State School where she taught until 1997 when she started at Elimbah State School. Liz said she had particularly loved teaching at Elimbah and being involved with community activities. “It has always been a privilege to get to know the families of the children I have taught,” Liz said.

If you missed the Channel 7 Sunrise Cash Cow phone call on Friday, May 21 you might not know that one of our locals took out the $100,000 prize. Yes, we have confirmed with the excited winner, that he definitely did take the call and was still slightly shocked a few hours later when he chatted to GC&M News staff. The daily giveaway had jackpotted to the staggering six-figure sum after nine consecutive winners failed to answer their phone in time to claim the money. Andrew had his phone on silent during a team meeting that had only just finished when the call came through, but he managed to answer on the (magic) third ring. Apparently, Andrew has been entering for the last few years, when the prize was $80,000 and above, so it would seem good fortune was on his side!

“Teaching has always been about establishing positive relationships with children and their families so that we can work together to achieve the best possible learning outcomes for the children. “Teaching at Elimbah has always been a work of heart for me and I feel very fortunate to have been a part of the Elimbah school and wider Elimbah community,” she said. Liz plans to do a small amount of casual relief teaching in her retirement and looks forward to exploring more of Australia, spending time with her family and having time to “smell the roses”.

Maleny Showground upgrades show-ready THE Maleny Showground has received a $1.4 million upgrade to infrastructure and facilities to cater for crowds expected to flock to the show this year. Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said the renewed facilities meant the showground could continue to cater for crowd-favourite events. “Usually the smells, sounds and sights of country life are the main attractions when you enter the gates but I think our facility upgrades won’t go unnoticed this year,” Mr Jamieson said. “For 84 years, patrons have been rolling through the Maleny Showground gates to celebrate and come together as a community at the show. “Our council has contributed nearly $400,000 to this upgrade in partnership with contributions from the federal government, Queensland Government and Maleny Show Society, which I think the community will warmly welcome. “To make it easier for vehicles to access the showground, council has upgraded the gravel roads around the two main fields to asphalt and constructed an exit road from the grounds to ease congestion. “The pavilion, which caters for many trade shows, has been fitted out with solar panels producing an estimated 157,352kWh – that’s equivalent to powering more than 320 medium-

sized household fridges for a year,” Mr Jamieson said. Patrons will also notice the reconstructed amenities building behind the secretary’s office, which includes unisex toilets and basins, a change room and cubicle, and an allabilities cubicle and shower. A pathway has also been installed from the amenities block to the disability parking space and a further two concrete car parks. The federal government provided $534,722 and the Maleny Show Society $325,000 of its funds for these projects. These contributions supported the upgrade to the amenities and delivered the extension of the secretary’s office and construction of a large storage facility. Federal Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management David Littleproud said he was heartened to see the Maleny Show prospering through the adversity of COVID and the associated economic hardships. “Country shows are important lynch pins for country towns and everyone in the community thrives off the back of those shows,” Mr Littleproud said. Division 5 councillor and Maleny Show Society president Winston Johnston said it was exciting to see the upgrades delivered in time for this year’s show.

Front: Maleny Show Society President Cr Winston Johnston with Mayor of Sunshine Coast Council Mark Jamieson “We are expecting a crowd of more than 6,000 to support our local traders and to revel in this year’s new attractions,” Cr Johnston said. “I would also like to acknowledge that agricultural shows such as Maleny’s would not be successful without the tireless work of local volunteers who provide so much

of their time to make the show a success for all who visit and compete.” The Maleny Show is on FridaySaturday, May 28-29. Tickets to the show start from $5 for children and $15 for adults. See the four-page program on pages 27-31 and scan the QR code to purchase your tickets.

New owners for Glasshouse Mountains Tavern By Sonia Isaacs Clark LOCALS in Glass House Mountains and surrounding areas have reacted positively to the announcement that the Glasshouse Mountains Tavern has been purchased by the owners of the Beerwah and Palmwoods hotels. Rick and Keri Gazzard and their team of hospitality professionals are looking forward to breathing new life into the tavern by bringing their winning formula of quality service, welcoming atmosphere, great food and a familyfriendly pub environment to the venue. While their vision for the tavern will incorporate similarities to the other pubs, Beerwah and Palmwoods hotels’ marketing manager Cassie Orreal said the management team were also looking at ways to offer points of difference such as different menu and food choices along with other ideas. The team is also weighing up potential redevelopment options, including an overhaul and update of the equipment and kitchen facilities. “We have some exciting redevelopment ideas in the pipeline. We are not sure how or when these ideas will come to life but it is definitely in the works,” Cassie said.

“We are currently working through the process of whether we will do major renovations straight away, or plan to chip away at them over the next year or so.” The tavern will be closed until further notice but the team is putting in the hours behind the scenes in the hope that the town can soon enjoy the tavern in all its glory again.

“We will make sure to keep everyone updated on the progress of the tavern via our Facebook page and please keep an eye out online, as we have a new website being launched soon,” Cassie said. Updates are available via the Beerwah Hotel Facebook page www.facebook.com/BeerwahHotel

Mooloolah IGA expansion gets closer

WORK should start soon on the expansion of the Mooloolah IGA store, with an operational works development permit application recently lodged with Sunshine Coast Council. The works application is for carpark changes, drainage work, earthworks, and internal stormwater, landscaping and vehicle crossover works for the expanded store. This will see the demolition of the existing building at the corner of Jones and Hatton Streets, which currently houses the laundrette and yoga studio, to allow for the 600m2 ﬂoorspace extension, as well as the demolition of the house at 3 Hatton Street, directly behind the carpark, to allow for more car parking. Extra car parking will also be constructed using the rear half the land on which the current house sits at 15 South Paget Street. The house will stay on the remaining half-sized block. The action plan is a result of a recent successful judgment given in a court case where the developer and landowner, Bridgeman Enterprises Pty Ltd, appealed against several conditions the council imposed on the original development approval. The Planning and Environment Court judge agreed with the developer that conditions forcing them to pay to have

power lines put underground along Jones and Hatten Streets were not relevant and were unreasonable. The judge acknowledged that although undergrounding of the powerlines adjacent to the development site would provide some improvement to the visual attractiveness of the street by removing poles and wires, the overall impact would be minimal and the council could show no coordinated plans to underground other electrical infrastructure in surrounding areas. Contained within the recent permit application documents were plans for some public art, which was a condition of the development approval, to be displayed on the Jones Street side of the new building. The developer has submitted that a mural artwork of the heritage-listed 1890s Dularcha railway tunnel will adorn a 26m x 6m section of wall.

TUESDAY

Landsborough urban expansion THE gradual urban expansion of Landsborough continues with a land parcel on Hardwood Road set to become home to more people if Sunshine Coast Council approves a recent development application. Although the 21,990m2 block at 79 Hardwood Road is currently mapped within the council’s rural planning zone, it falls within a broader zone that the council wants to rezone as low density residential to match the urban footprint identiﬁed under the South East Queensland Regional Plan. However, before the council has even had a chance to change the planning scheme, the prospective property developer Stilhaus Delta Pty Ltd has predictively applied to subdivide and create 19 new house blocks, as well as a drainage reserve and a new road. Although the application is impact assessable and contrary to the current plan, the developer is conﬁdent enough to concurrently submit a permit application for road works, stormwater, water infrastructure, drainage, earthworks, sewage infrastructure and vegetation clearing as part of the subdivision construction. The block has a long frontage to White Gums Street and is relatively close to the urban residential expansion areas in the

area. Road access into the new subdivision will be from White Gums Street. According to the application, lots will be 650m2 with one 664m2, all of which meet the minimum standard in the Landsborough Town Plan East of 650m2. Four of the 19 new housing blocks have been earmarked for secondary dwellings, such as a duplex construction. About a third of the land will be set aside for a drainage reserve for stormwater management and a landscaped buﬀer on the western side of the block adjoining the state forest. To read more go to https:// developmenti.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au and search for RAL21/0053. As the development is impact assessable, it will be advertised and public submissions accepted.

PLACES and FACES

New generation of showgirls keeps history alive in Maleny By Georgia Beard AFTER more than 80 years of celebrating agriculture on the Sunshine Coast hinterland, a new generation of youth has emerged to renew history in the Maleny Show Personality competition for 2021. On Saturday, May 15, contestants and their families and friends gathered at The Orangery Maleny to share a lovely high tea, to meet this year’s entrants and hear the winners announced. Despite the event’s competitive nature, the restaurant warmed up with conversation as guests forged new friendships and rekindled old ones. Thirteen young women competed in junior and senior categories for the titles of Maleny Show Personality and Rural Ambassador. This year the event departed from its traditional format of a Saturday evening show ball, with competitors taking part in one-on-one interviews with judges earlier in the day and no requirement for them to answer questions on stage. Born and bred Bald Knob local, past winner and former judge Stacey Bentley, 26, hosted the awards ceremony. Stacey’s family has been involved in the Maleny Show for three generations, so she understands the importance of keeping our local history and traditions alive.

Stacey believes the personality competition has reached a turning point. Impacts from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have “made us challenge our thinking, and this is the ﬁrst of its kind in terms of an afternoon environment,” Stacey said. “It’s a really good opportunity to still come together and recognise the entrants.” This year, 16-year-old Raylene McSweeney won the Junior Showgirl Personality for her commitment to local agriculture and experience in volunteering at previous shows. “It’s a very good feeling and I’m proud of myself,” she said. “When the interview came, it was just a bit of pressure. I felt like I had to be more … outgoing to meet the standards that it seemed like other girls were meeting.” Raylene hopes to run for Rural Ambassador in upcoming years. She also believes her participation will help build her reputation for a future career in the beauty industry. For girls like Raylene, the Maleny Show Personality creates opportunities to develop conﬁdence and skills in public speaking and presentation.

All the entrants in this year’s Maleny Show Personality competition (back row) Jaimee Sweeting, Sacha Lanham, Bethany Lanham, Chloe Lanham, Aveli CookWilkinson, Raylene McSweeny, Hannah Scott, (front row) Kael Thompson, Grace Pearson, Isabella Sim, Kimberley Bland, Sian Ellis and Darcy Ellis Winners can go on to represent their local area in regional and state agricultural shows. ABC journalist Jennifer Nichols was one of this year’s competition judges. She said a lot was said about the bad things of youth “but I think it’s because people like these girls don’t get the light shone on them”. “Such beautiful, intelligent, vibrant young people who have a lot to oﬀer

their community, [are] getting involved in a thing like the show to keep traditions alive and shine a light on the importance of agriculture, arts and crafts in Maleny,” Jennifer said. If you are attending this year’s Maleny Show keep an eye out for the winners of the Show Personality and Rural Ambassador categories in the grand parade on both days.

Knitfest workshops a great taster By Sonia Isaacs Clark A popular component of the annual Knitfest Yarn & Fibre Winter Festival is the diverse range of creative and crafty workshops on offer, and this year’s selection has creatively curious locals covered. With an appealing mix of classes and introductory sessions, this year’s festival is on Saturday-Sunday July 3-4, with a program that incorporates 20 workshops. However, the workshops will be slightly different to previous years to meet the necessary COVID safe requirements. Bookings and program details are available online now, including four kids’ club sessions at $10 each. The workshops vary in price, from $35 to $62, and will be held at the Spinning Hall (Maleny RSL Hall) on the Saturday and Knifest Central (Maleny State School) on Saturday and Sunday. Knitfest organiser Deb Swain said the workshops were a great way for people to follow their creative urge. “We always find people get really p g or inspired to tryy their hand at knitting

trying fibre arts, especially after seeing all the incredible, creative talent on display at Knitfest,” Deb said. “Our workshop program offers an eclectic range of cost-effective taster sessions for people to give that urge a go and, if they like it, they can then find out more.” An amazing array of workshops will be hosted by skilled artisans, with most supplying all materials and many suitable for beginners or those with no prior experience. The sessions include learning how to create your own felted baby slippers, wet felted wool glasses cases and needle felt toadstools, how to make animal armature (wire structure) for needle felting with take-home miniature reindeer, or learn how to do Latvian braid, make silk baskets, do botanical dying or create crocheted 3D butterflies or covered CD disks.

Great local dog show Contributed by Helen Weil

WHAT a great event the recent Sunshine Coast Kennel Club Dog Show at Beerwah turned out to be. The weather was exceptionally good and the variety of activities all had very strong entries and support. There was a great deal of energy expended in the ﬂyball competition and on the dog sledding course. The conformation (beauty) shows were more sedate showing a very pleasing 40% increase in entries on recent years. Thanks to all the exhibitors and our sponsors for their support, in particular Blackhawk, Beerwah Feed and Fodder, and the Sunshine Coast Council, who were major contributors to the prizes

The rainforest is coming along!

Electric ‘green’ mower purchased

BARUNG Landcare hosted a community planting day in April at their new premises on the Precinct in Maleny. The buildings aren’t there yet but it won’t be long before the gardens are a joy and a delight for Maleny residents and visitors, under the guidance of nursery manager Cam Burton. The planting day extended the rainforest area that was planted last October from the top of the site down to the level area where the buildings will be located, with paths wandering among the trees. Cam’s plan also includes what promises to be a spectacular native garden, showcasing how our local plants can create an exquisite garden with native grasses and shrubs that will be a home for wildlife such as seedeating birds, a special area designed for frogs and lizards, and homes for native bees.

MALENY Golf Club, has just acquired an electric greens mower, which will abate morning machinery noise for the benefit of the neighbourhood and reduce the club’s carbon footprint. Course superintendent Mick McCombe said the new environmentally friendly Toro mower did not carry hydraulic fluids and used all-electric components for traction, steering, deck lifting and cutting. “This eliminates the risk of hydraulic fluid being spilt on our environmentally sensitive golf course and will help reduce our carbon footprint as well,” Mick said. “It is noticeably much quieter to operate, so we can mow the greens in the morning without the neighbours hearing us, and the small on-board

The band of volunteers

By Richard Owen

Veteran Maleny resident and volunteer Rodger Maskall busy watering More than 30 enthusiastic people at the planting day came to get their hands dirty and put these beautiful little rainforest plants into the ground. Black felt pens were provided so participants could write their names on the labels of the trees they planted. When the trees are tall and magniﬁcent, our planters (and their children and their children’s children – some of these trees are very long lived) will be able to say: “I planted that!” If you would like to participate in more Barung events or keep tabs on how the garden and the new nursery are progressing, check their website where you can take a virtual tour of their future premises. www.barunglandcare.org.au, www.facebook.com/BarungLandcare or contact the oﬀice on 5494 3151.

petrol generator, which charges the batteries, is less costly to operate.” Advanced cutting technology also regulates the speed of the cutting units in relation to ground speed, giving an even clip rate across all putting surfaces. “This will substantially improve both the aesthetics and playability of our greens, making the mower a very welcome addition to our maintenance fleet as it will enhance our ability to produce quality putting surfaces yearround,” Mick said. The maintenance fleet now includes an array of sophisticated, specialpurpose machinery.

Peachester transport p link at risk DUE to a lack of usage, e, Sunshine Coast Council is reassessing the futuree of the Peachester to Beerwah Flexilink service. The service is a trial funded to the tune of $10,000 a year from the $6.44 million councill transport levy (a $44 levy added to every rates notice). The service has been operational for 11 years and on average is used five times a month but so far this year it’s only been used eight times. The service uses a Glasshouse Taxi vehicle that operates a return service three times a day, Monday to Saturday. It operates similar to a bus service by following a designated route but you must pre-book your seat. The cost per single trip is only $2 for adults and $1 concession or child. To assess the future need for the service, the council is asking locals who have and haven’t used the service to fill out a simple online survey. This will help the council to determine what happens next – whether the service is cancelled or changed to better suit the community’s needs, as well as identifying what is preventing wider usage of the service in general. To take the survey, go to www.surveymonkey.com/r/flexilink The survey closes on June 7. For more information about the Flexilink service visit www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/flexilink

Get your scone on SCONE Time returns to Bankfoot House on Thursday, June 10 for a lovely morning of community connection over a cuppa and tasty fresh scones. Hosted by Sunshine Coast Foodie Martin Duncan, along with Peter Connell and Ann Podobnik of Bankfoot House, this event is a wonderful way for local seniors to come together in a heritage setting, meet others, swap stories and find out more about some of our local food producers. At the same time, they will enjoy locally produced Montville coffee or a cup of tea and, of course, piping hot scones. With assistance on the day from our very own QCWA Beerwah scone queens, Martin and the team will be going old-school by serving up morning tea in the traditional Bankfoot House style using scone toppings of butter and syrup. There will be a couple of guest local food producers to share a yarn, and local products will be showcased including the sublime strawberry jam from Cedar Creek Farm Bush Foods with lashings of whipped cream. Martin said he is excited to be returning to Bankfoot House. “Heritage-listed Bankfoot House provides a very special venue to host Scone Time, and the setting fits perfectly with the traditional notion of bringing everyone together for a good old-fashioned chat, in person, while enjoying a sweet treat,” Martin said. The event runs from 10-11.30am and costs $8. Bookings are essential via www.trybooking.com/BPSMJ A COVID safe plan will be in place and volunteers will be available to assist visitors with signing in. To get you excited and the opportunity to get your scone on at home, we’ve included Martin’s Scone Time recipe. Bankfoot House, 1998 Old Gympie Road, Glass House Mountains

Mother’s Day gifts MEMBERS and friends of the Landsborough Seventh-day Adventist Church distributed Mother’s Day gifts to homes in the local area. It was an opportunity for the church to meet mothers and let them know that the important work they do for their family and the community is much appreciated.

COMMUNITY

Glasshouse Country Senior Citizens Club THE club regularly hosts visiting seniors’ clubs for morning tea and luncheons. These are enjoyable events that include entertainment, a lucky door prize and amazing progressive raﬀle prizes. Meetings are on the second Tuesday of each month at 9am at the Beerwah Community Hall. Call 5496 9260 for further information. Seniors 50-plus years are welcome.

Community service project fundraiser THE young adults’ group at the Landsborough Seventh-day Adventist Church recently held an auction night in the church hall. The event raised funds for a team of 30 young church members to travel to the Torres Strait in June/July to undertake community service projects including building renovations, community gardens, tree planting and children’s programs. With support from businesses, church members and sponsors, including Bunnings and Terri and Robert Irwin (Australia Zoo), the auction raised $10,500.

groups

Walking Group at Mooloolah DURING winter, the walking group is still on each Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings but starting at 7am during this cooler time of year. The group meets at Martin Rungert Park Mooloolah, in the centre of town, and walks a variety of routes around the local area for about an hour. It is a great way to start the day and make new friends. This is a National Heart Foundation group activity with certiﬁcates and awards for the number of walks and attaining certain goals. Most of all it is about staying active and healthy in a friendly social environment. You don’t have to walk every day or for the whole hour – just do as much as you feel you can. The group has speedy walkers who cover a greater distance and more relaxed walkers who maintain an average steady pace. However, all members walk and that is what is important. Consider coming along to enjoy the social aspect of belonging to a friendly group as well as the health beneﬁts of regular exercise. New walkers always welcome. For more details phone Annie on 5492 9359.

Readers’ passion for print still strong By Lea Parkes

AFTER GC&M News moved into the online-only world of newspapers for a short time in 2020 (during the COVID lockdown) we learned some valuable insights into our readers’ views. We have been pleased to see that what happened in our community is reflected across the country in the results of the biggest national survey of local news audiences in Australia. The survey was conducted as part of the Media Innovation and Civic Future of Australia’s Country Press project. It asked almost 4,200 Australian newspaper readers in rural, regional and outer suburban areas about the role of local newspapers within their communities and their ideas for innovation within the sector.

Key findings included that there is continued strong demand (and passion) for the printed product in rural and regional Australia. In fact, the majority of audiences prefer a printed newspaper, with younger generations also part of this trend. Audiences also indicated they are five times as likely to go directly to a local news website for their local news than Google or Facebook, and almost ten times as likely to go to the local newspaper website over a local council website for their local news and information. Surprisingly, just 5% of younger audiences say they mostly use social media to find out about local news.

For more than a decade GC&M News has had a website and, for all of that time, we have been putting the online versions of our hard copy paper onto the site, which has proved a valuable resource for those searching past stories.

... the majority of audiences prefer a printed newspaper, with younger generations also part of this trend. However, as we moved into an increasingly digital world we decided it was time to create a new website that reflects both our fortnightly

print approach and also the speed with which our readers need to be informed about what is happening in our local community. Our new website will go live in the first week of June. We will now be able to incorporate a comprehensive what’s on calendar as well as individual news stories, which will allow improved timeliness for us to bring you these stories in a more complete way than Facebook allows. We are looking forward to this next step in our digital journey and hope it helps keep you connected to what is happening in your street and your town.

Comic opera in Maleny

THE multi-talented Maleny Singers are looking forward to returning to the Maleny Community Centre in June and ﬁlling it with the sound of laughter, music and feet stamping. The production ‘Yeomen of the Guard’, one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s more durable comic operas, will be performed on June 12, 13, 19 and 20. With long-time favourites Colin Dunn, Evalee Sharples and Viera Keogh in lead roles, and Margaret Taylor’s astute musical direction and stagecraft, the singing should be memorable. Critics say this is one of Arthur Sullivan’s best scores beﬁtting Gilbert’s libretto. Although his usual quota of humorous one-liners can be heard, the storyline also carries a certain sadness, beautifully brought out by the gentle harmonies of the arias and quartets. Tickets are adults $35, concession $30 and child (up to 15) $10. Bookings at www.trybooking.com/BPMNW

How does a trip to Italy sound?

MANY of us are dreaming of one day visiting or revisiting Italy and while COVID has temporarily altered our plans, Maleny Art Direct is sharing a slice of Italy in its latest watercolour exhibition by local award-winning artist Madeline Herbet. The exhibition, showcasing 19 new artworks inspired by Italy, will be on display for two weeks in the gallery in Maple Street from Sunday, May 23. Madeline is originally from London and studied at Earling Art College before arriving in Australia in 1960 and continuing her studies of art. Over the years she owned and operated her own dress design shop and art galleries while pursuing her love of art in the media of pastel and watercolour. In 1992, Madeline moved to Maleny and in 1993 began her love aﬀair with Italy, travelling to Tuscany and Florence where she rented a villa, spending several months painting and touring Europe.

Aboriginal hunter gathers?

The letter from Mr Prociv (GC&M News, 11 May) in relation to Peter O’Brien’s ‘Bitter Harvest’ raises a single source of his criticism. However, the same topic has been studied by others who don’t draw the same conclusions. In the 1970s, indications of Aboriginal farming in south-west Victoria recorded by white archaeologists conﬁrmed what the local Gunditjmara people knew – they actively farmed the landscape and their intensive farming was also accompanied by permanent dwellings. It’s now on UNESCO’s World Heritage list This is an example of the original peoples continuing relationship with the landscape and how the Gunditjmara overturned European misunderstandings of the sophistication of their history. In July 1841 an expedition to southwest Victoria led by the Chief Protector of

Aborigines, George A Robinson reported: “… an immense piece of ground trenched and banked, resembling the work of civilised man but which on inspection I found to be the work of the Aboriginal natives, purposefully constructed for catching eels”. Robinson estimated the system of channels measured “some thousands of yards” (2km) in length and covered an area of “at least 15 acres” (6ha). In the 1970s Dr Peter Coutts of the Victoria Archaeological Survey carried out site surveys at Lake Condah. Coutts and his team found what local Gunditjmara people had always known – extensive Aboriginal ﬁsh-trapping systems comprising hundreds of metres of excavated channels and dozens of basalt block dam walls constructed over innumerable generations way before European contact. Coutts estimated that the volume of basalt blocks moved measured in “the many hundreds of tonnes”. He initially hypothesised that the ﬁshing facilities were up to 3,500 years old, based on radio-carbon dating of habitation sites such as earthen mounds and shell middens. Reconstruction of ancient water levels in Lake Condah revealed that some traps could have operated up to 8,000 years ago. This is systematic aquaculture 8,000 years old. Here is just one example to knock the hunter-gatherer myth. There are more. Richard Giles Conondale

Anzac Day photos

I was disappointed with the photo coverage for the Anzac Day commemorations as there were not enough photos of the actual veterans. I really appreciate the children and the schools’ participation as they will carry on the tradition in the future when we are all gone but more photos of the actual local veterans who survived those awful conﬂicts could have been better. Remember the Ode: “They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.” Mr R Moss ex RAN retired Landsborough

Global warming scare

When earning your living depends on perpetuating the global warming scare it is not surprising that you are going to continue to perpetuate and even make the threat sound worse. Maybe those who are looking for more than the media and self-interest groups are promoting need to look further. Something that may be of interest is the new book by Steven Koonin who worked in Barack Obama’s government. When his wages relied on the global warming scare his views mirrored that. He has now had an awakening and has written the book ‘Unsettled’, which says that the science behind global warming is deﬁnitely not settled. Shane Daly Peachester

Tree change and medical care

Before rushing into a hinterland tree change you should consider your access to medical care. On the weekend (after hours) I had my third unsuccessful attempt in seven years to access a doctor home visit via several online sites that clearly show they service the hinterland. I initially waited 40 minutes on hold before being advised that there were no doctors available in my area and was given another number to speak to a registered nurse. The RN was knowledgeable but could not provide what was needed (medical assessment by a physician). I was told to call the second nationwide after-hours medical group or go to the emergency room of the nearest hospital, which raised several issues for me. With emergency departments already overstretched and commonly needing to ramp patients using them for a “may be urgent” event simply because there is no other option for medical treatment after hours is inappropriate. Go to the nearest hospital is also throw away advice for people who don’t drive, don’t have a vehicle, can’t drive at night, do not have someone who can drive them and a taxi service into the hinterland that is either unavailable or far enough away that they can’t/won’t

said

arrive in a timely fashion. We simply aren’t training enough doctors and enabling new ones to work in the non-metro areas. Worryingly, the federal government has cut funding to universities with the cost for an Australian (ie, non-international) student to study medicine higher than that for a law degree. Australian citizens studying medicine or the other related allied health ﬁelds should have no HECS debt as an incentive if they are to set up practices and stay in regional areas. My advice is to review your relocation in terms of not only your employment or retirement activities but also consider banks, dentists, medical care – and after-hours support – and how you will access them any day or time of the week. Judi Tompkins Landsborough

Bruce Highway expansion

I was very saddened to read about the further widening of the Bruce Highway (GC&M News, May 11). More habitat and soil covered in bitumen while moving the congestion further north. Here we are planning how to get to the Climate Truth Now protest on June 10 in King George Square by train and there isn’t even a double track yet from Beerburrum to Nambour. Over half a billion dollars on a functional road with more lanes than needed for a carbon-constrained future, and peanuts for the rail? Ordinary people would make better decisions allocating our tax dollars than politicians and lobbyists. We are running out of time for addressing the ecological crisis that threatens our food security. Zero carbon by 2030 means we have just over 100 months to get to zero. My heart aches for an immediate citizens’ assembly on the climate emergency, like they have held in France and Canada. If not now, when? Jenny Fitzgibbon Maleny

Re: Traﬀic lights

The letter from J Martin (GC&M News, 11 May) criticises the use of traffic lights on the $1 billion Bruce Highway upgrade. He suggests there should just be a tunnel or flyover from Steve Irwin Way to Caloundra Road. If only it was that simple. This project required more efficient and safer traffic flows for north and south bound Bruce Highway traffic but also entrances and exits to Steve Irwin Way, Caloundra Road, the service road past Aussie World and service roads on the eastern side of the Bruce Highway. Access to and from the Sunshine Motorway at the northern end of the roadworks project was also required. The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) chose the diverging diamond interchange design, widely used in the US, partly to minimise the amount of forest that had to be removed close to the Bruce Highway/Steve Irwin Way/Caloundra Rd intersection. Community concerns about forest destruction was widely discussed prior to approval of the project. The diverging diamond interchange design minimises the footprint of the whole interchange. I have been driving from Glass House Mountains to Caloundra and return three times a week for the past five years. I don’t find the traffic lights a problem. I think a

couple of minutes delay at the lights is no inconvenience for a safer trip. TMR has a good website page describing the details of the whole upgrade project. I reckon “the clowns” who have designed the Steve Irwin Way/Caloundra Road interchange for now and for the future have done a pretty good job. Ray Sanderson Glass House Mountains

Magical macadamia

It was great to read of the magical macadamia in GC&M News (May 11 edition). It is such an interesting story of this crop of unique Australian origin. What is also interesting is that growers in Hawaii really ushered in the modern management of the macadamia as they first developed the grafting method as long ago as the 1930s. Until then the Bauple nut, as it was known due to its presence in significant wild groves around Bauple south of Maryborough, was grown from seed. It had long spread south from Bauple and Aboriginal folk actually sold nuts to the settlers in Brisbane in the 1850s. At the 1961 Pacific Science Congress in Hawaii I was greatly impressed by a plantation at Kona that delegates visited on a post-conference tour. The owners had selected a variety with relatively thin shell compared to the very tough shell of

the wild macadamias of Bauple and had multiplied it by grafting to establish the ﬁrst really large plantations, subsequently exceeding Australian’s commercial production until the 1990s. After that there was huge expansion in South Africa, which is now the largest producer, while the macadamia is also grown in many other countries with a suitable climate. Mike Foale Maleny

Housing Boom in Maleny

Re the article on page 6, May 11 edition, after comparing the overview aerial photo of the wedge-shaped block above Mitre 10, which has the Obi Creek along one border, with the schematic plan for the units to be developed, the ﬁrst thing that is obvious that it involves the removal of all trees and vegetation along the Obi creek boundary, (much of which may have been planted by community groups). Also obvious is the high-density nature of the development, with virtually no green space or space between units. Recently the University of Western Sydney released a report showing that similar types of developments in Western Sydney are creating ‘urban heat islands’, where summer temperatures are beginning to soar to 50 degrees and predicting that Western Sydney could

become uninhabitable in summer in the future. Is this the type of development appropriate for Maleny, and what eﬀect would it have on quality of life for residents? Maleny already has a traﬀic problem in the main street for which there is no obvious solution such as a bypass. Concentrating an extra 23 dwelling units with 117 extra residents will only add to the already congested central business area. There is a demand for houses in Maleny, which is driving up house prices, and there is an undeniable need for lowcost housing for the growing number of homeless people, but is this the answer, in what is still basically a rural community? Tiny houses set amongst gardens with some shared resources such as laundries and shower facilities, community gardens and shared entertainment areas could be developed on already cleared farmland would be a much better solution for people who are being priced out of the real estate market, not cheek by jowl dwellings in the middle of an already overcrowded town space, with no connection with green space. Am hoping more people will check out this proposed development and act according to whatever their response is. Philippa Howells Maleny

hinterland HERITAGE

with Sonia Isaacs Clark

Maleny RSL celebrates 90 years ACCORDING to local and online resources, the work of historian Frank Beattie and additional historical insights from the Maleny Historical Society regarding the history of the Maleny RSL, the land where the current building is located was originally purchased by Francis Dunlop. Granted title to 160 acres, Francis Dunlop purchased the land to build a homestead in 1880. After numerous subdivisions of the original parcel of land, the corner block was returned to the Crown in 1925, when it was transferred to William Henry Rixon Burnett, the then licensee of the Maleny Hotel. The Maleny RSL Sub Branch oﬀicially came into existence on 8 May, 1921 when 13 founding members established a sub branch of the Returned Sailors and Soldiers Imperial League of Australia (RSSILA). Members agreed to meet regularly on the Friday on or before the full moon so they could make their way home safely at night, with meetings originally held in the School of Arts Hall. In 1938, a memorandum of agreement was drawn up between William Burnett

and the three trustees of the Maleny RSSILA for the organisation to take a ten-year lease on the land near the hotel for a nominal rental of one shilling a year. In October 1944, the Burnett family oﬀered a further lease of a clubroom building, which was then being used as a stock feed shed. An initial building fund was set up with 60 pounds 18 shillings and Landsborough Shire Council was requested to waive rates. With expanding membership, especially after World War II, and a building not well suited to the comfort of members in winter, the Maleny Returned Sailors Soldiers and Airmans Imperial League of Australia (RSSAILA) Sub Branch members decided to establish an additional building fund to build or purchase a more suitable hall. The building used today was originally situated in Maryborough, where it operated as an RAAF gymnasium, picture theatre and recreation hall at a training base during World War II. The Maleny RSSAILA purchased the building in 1946 for 2,000 pounds. The building was then demolished board by board, numbered and transported by

various means to Maleny. Most of the building was transported to Landsborough by rail with a local carrying service transporting the building up the range ready for reconstruction by local residents, many of whom were RSSAILA members. A deed was later granted to Maleny RSSAILA in June 1947 for the Crown land to become freehold. The old hall was sold to Maleny Scouts

for 75 pounds and relocated. It was later used by the Maleny CWA. The new RSSAILA building was oﬀicially opened on August 27, 1948, and the community celebrated with a Digger’s Ball the same year.

HINTERLAND

Colour run fun at Peachester State School Contributed by Donna Haslam PEACHESTER State School was ablaze with colour in late April but not just from our beautiful autumnal garden! Students, staff and parents participated in a Colour Run to raise money to update our tuckshop. Staff were first off the mark with the students thrilled to be able to cover their teachers and school staff with the vibrant colours. The students then tackled the course, running, jumping, crawling and even rolling through the obstacles as parents and teachers sprayed and doused them with the colours. Then came the parents’

turn, with many a son or daughter very happy to ensure mum and dad were covered in a rainbow of colours. The day finished off with ice blocks and pizzas for the students as a reward for all their fundraising efforts. On completion of the run, the students were thrilled to hear they had raised more than $8,000 towards revamping the school tuckshop. A big thank you to our P&C for all your work in organising this very fun event, and to all our parent helpers, staff and students at the school for all your hard work in fundraising.

National Walk Safely to School Day SIXTY Glass House Mountains State School students, ten parents and six teachers hit the pavement for National Walk Safely to School Day on Friday, May 14. The walk started at the park on Coonowrin Road next to the community hall, with everyone walking on the

LIBRARY NEWS

From Patricia, Amanda and Staff at Beerwah Library

Libraries – a great place for families OUR Sunshine Coast Council Libraries are a great place for families to visit, especially those with enthusiastic young learners. We have great resources for families including a wonderful collection of sensory and educational toys, puzzles and games to spark creativity and learning. The toys are designed for children aged from 12 months to 12 years. Two toys can be borrowed at a time for up to three weeks, all for free. Toy libraries are a feature of the children’s collection at most library branches, including Beerwah and Maleny. The great thing about the toy library is kids will never get bored or grow out of their toys. Families can simply keep borrowing new, fresh ideas. While you’re at the library you might also want to join Storytime and Rhymetime sessions for children aged under ﬁve. Storytime is a great event for 2-5 year olds, their parents, grandparents and carers. Storytime is held on Tuesday morning at Beerwah Library

and on Thursday morning at Maleny Library. Libraries also have fun Rhymetime sessions suited to babies up to two years old on Friday morning at both Maleny and Beerwah libraries. Rhymetime sessions are a great way to support early speech development and give families a safe, free event to meet their community. Registrations are required to attend these sessions and you can book online via the library website. Libraries are great places for every member of the family. Drop in today and see what you discover.

ELECTED What the federal budget means for us THE 2021 federal budget is a big win for the Sunshine Coast hinterland in helping to secure our region’s recovery from COVID-19. Thousands of local taxpayers are going to receive a further tax cut this year of up to $1,080 each, meaning more money in your pocket to spend in hinterland businesses. For the thousands of seniors living in the region, this budget makes a once in a generation extra investment of $17.7 billion in improving the quality and safety of residential aged care, and oﬀers 80,000 more home-care packages to make sure that more of us are able to carry on living in our own homes for longer. Locally, the budget invests $5 million for a study into the next phase of duplicating the North Coast Rail. The federal government has already invested $390 million in duplicating the rail to Beerwah, with work getting under way now. This new funding will let us look ahead and understand what would be needed to upgrade the rail as far as Nambour. The budget also allocates another $1 billion for the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, which has already seen funding in the hinterland for road improvements

Maleny Show The Maleny Show is finally upon us! It was fantastic last week to help officially open the new upgrades at the showground, which were paid for with a Morrison government grant of $486,111. As well as improved accessible onsite facilities, the Show Society now has new workshops and office space thanks to this grant to make the show bigger and better than ever. I will be at the show again this year working my stall, so come down and say hello!

LOCAL families will be able to enjoy an afternoon picnic while little legs run wild at Porters Farm Park in Maleny. I am happy to advise that the installation of two new picnic tables and chairs have been completed after we replaced the existing settings. Great work and many thanks to all involved.

Sealed and delivered

Have you driven along Kings Road in Mooloolah Valley recently? It’s got a fresh smooth feel after the recent reseal works were completed. Thank you for your patience while we delivered this fantastic improvement for all road users.

Road closure delays

Keeping with roads, the improvement works on Tunnel Ridge Road have been progressing within stage one. However, works are behind schedule due to unsuitable clay site conditions and the recent wet weather. The construction crews have minimised these impacts as much as possible by bringing forward and completing works that were planned for stage two. The temporary road closure will be in place until June 4, weather and site conditions permitting. I apologise for the inconvenience the extended closure may cause and appreciate your patience.

Kick up your heels at a community dance class FIVE, six, seven, eight … it’s time to move to the groove with the return of Healthy Sunshine Coast’s popular community dance activities. Get Up & Dance! invites people to shimmy, shuﬀle, twirl, toe tap, boot scoot, bend, dip and twist their way to better health in just four weeks and costs $20. Classes include: • Tibetan Khaita Joyful Dance. Beerwah Community Hall, Saturdays 10am. Starts 29 May • Rhythm Culture African Dance. Coolum Civic Centre, Sundays 10.30am. Starts 30 May • Latin American Zumba. Caloundra Indoor Stadium, Golden Beach, Sundays 2pm. Starts 30 May • Mega Step Dance. Beerwah Community Hall, Mondays 10am. Starts 31 May Dance instructor Bec Combs, of Rhythm Culture Dance, said her classes would be a blend of Afro funk and West African dance. “Dance is absolutely incredible for your physical and mental health,” Bec said.

“The wonderful thing about it is that you don’t actually feel like you are working out and when you are moving in sync with others there is a type of connectedness and charged energy that is created among the group. “The great thing about community dance is that you don’t need to take it seriously, you don’t even have to be any good. It’s all about just moving your body and having loads of fun. “Nobody comes to be amazing. Everybody has the same objective – to get ﬁt and have fun.” Bookings are essential, for more details visit www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov. au/CommunityDance

Wait time reduced by new colposcope HOSPITAL charity Wishlist is making a big diﬀerence to patients waiting for a potential cancer diagnosis. The local organisation recently funded a $72,365 colposcope to lessen patient wait times and aid faster diagnosis of women’s cancers. The equipment is used by the gynaecology team at Nambour Hospital for women who need a procedure after an abnormal cervical screening test. Wishlist CEO Lisa Rowe said the charity was proud to fund the equipment to allow more women to be seen in shorter timeframes. “I’m told this service sees more than 1,000 women a year and, as you can imagine, there is a lot of anxiety around these types of diagnoses,” Lisa said. “Early detection is key, so we are

thrilled to be able to purchase this equipment to help the Nambour clinic and local patients. “Of course, we are only able to do this through our generous donors and our corporate partners.” Acting nurse unit manager Stephanie Nolan said patients were seen as a matter of urgency at the clinic. “The benefits are for our women coming through our department and to their care. Having this equipment makes it so much more efficient,” Stephanie said. “This machine is diagnostic so it’s a lot faster than the previous equipment we had. It means we can see a lot more patients come through from our wait list.” To find out more about Wishlist visit www.wishlist.org.au

Garden Expo returns for 2021 IT’S back! After being cancelled in 2020, the Queensland Garden Expo is back on track to welcome thousands of visitors again this July. The expo will run from July 9-11 at the Nambour Showground. Nurseries are now preparing stock to ensure there are plenty of plant favourites, new lines to launch, and unique and rare plants to oﬀer expo attendees. Interest in gardening since the COVID crisis started has seen the nursery industry enjoy one of its best years on record in 2020, with a recent nursery industry survey revealing a record 2.2 billion plants produced and sold in Australia in 2019-2020. Queensland Garden Expo event manager Marion Beazley said the increased interest in gardening provided an exciting opportunity for this year’s event to attract new visitors. “With so many people housebound, there was a huge curiosity in growing food like herbs and vegetables and before long people were ready to get their hands dirty for a complete home garden makeover,” Ms Beazley said. “We’re conﬁdent the Queensland

Be water wise ahead of the dry season

Garden Expo will provide ample opportunity to nurture this newfound love for gardening, with a number of back-to-basics talks each day to encourage visitors who are new to gardening.” This year’s three-day event oﬀers 7ha of displays and activities, 350 exhibitors, including 55 nurseries, about 45 guest speakers, more than 1,220 free demonstrations and talks on 11 separate stages, and more than 60,000 plants for sale each day of the expo. The Queensland Garden Expo oﬀers something for everyone including the kids who can enjoy a range of interactive sessions such as kids’ craft, seed planting and, of course, the popular free kids’ playground. The speaker program is the biggest in Australia and welcomes back crowd favourites such as ABC Gardening Australia gurus Sophie Thomson, Costa Georgiadis and Jerry Coleby-Williams. Tickets must be purchased online (no gate sales) and are $20 for adults ($35 two-day and $50 three-day passes) and children under 15 are free. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.qldgardenexpo.com.au

UNITYWATER is calling on residents and businesses to keep up their water-saving efforts during South East Queensland’s coming dry season. Despite the welcome rain in March and April, the region’s combined dam levels are at their lowest levels in a decade for the month of May. Water restrictions are still a possibility before the end of the year. The utility is encouraging people to explore simple and cost-effective ways to save water, from using a broom instead of a hose for outdoor cleaning, to installing a winter pool cover to reduce water top ups. Unitywater communications and engagement manager Jana Dore called on locals to do a quick assessment of their home, business or garden, and make small changes for a big impact. “As we head into our annual dry season, we encourage everyone to make small changes and be part of a big collective effort to help save water,” Ms Dore said. “With less rain about, we tend to use more water to top up our pools, water our lawns and wash our cars. It means our storages take a double hit and fall more quickly than in summer months.” Ms Dore said there were small changes that every resident and

business could make to their water consumption habits. “There are lots of easy and costeffective ways to help save water,” she said. “Using a broom or leaf blower instead of a hose to clean outdoor areas, installing water-efficient shower heads or simply cutting showers down to four minutes are great places to start. “Drought tolerant plants, brooms, buckets, hose trigger nozzles and other water efficient devices are available from local hardware stores or garden centres. “These small changes can make a big difference and we thank residents and businesses for all of their water-saving efforts.” Ms Dore said residents could save water by: • Checking for hidden leaks • Keeping showers to four minutes • Turning off the tap when brushing teeth • Only using dishwashers and washing machines when they’re full • Using a pool cover to reduce evaporation • Watering gardens at cooler times of the day • Fixing leaking taps and toilets For water-saving resources, including tips and how to check for leaks, visit www.unitywater.com/legends

Ode to the empty seed stand (revisited) BACK in April 2020 when the world went barmy and people fought over toilet paper, another phenomenon occurred … the great lockdown seed buying frenzy. I wrote a piece for the digital-only edition back then giving some advice on how to use the precious seeds wisely. If you missed that edition, here’s a summary of the story (or the QR code will link you to the full version). Rule number one. They have a use-by date (it’s on the packet). Tip: the date relates to an unopened packet and that’s out the window once you tear it open. Rule number two. Don’t open the packet until you want to sow the seeds. Seeds start to deteriorate from the day you expose them to the elements. Rule number three. Learn about what you’re buying. Don’t just rely on the 25 words on the seed packet – that’s mostly marketing anyway. Things to know about include climatic growing zone, seasonality, germination conditions, growing conditions, care requirements, size at maturity, maturity timeframe, pests and diseases. Rule number four. How’s your growing medium looking? If all you’ve got is a cheap bag of potting mix, you’re in trouble from the start. Soil needs to be a balance of mineral components, organic components, sands, clays and nutrients, and needs a healthy ecosystem of worms and micro-organisms.

Rule number five. Store your seeds carefully. Leaving them in a hot garden shed is a sure way to quicken their demise. You need to keep them in a cool spot, away from light, moisture and vermin such as cockroaches. Rule number six. Sowing seeds is more than just putting some dirt on them. If you’re sowing directly into the garden, you need to prepare the soil to a fine tilth (no clumps and clods). If you’re sowing them into trays or containers, use a seed raising mix rather than potting mix. Rule number seven. Only sow as much as you want to plant and only plant as much as you need to eat (and maybe a little extra for the neighbours). Sow a whole packet of cauliflower seeds and you’ll end up with a couple of hundred – the same goes with any of the herbs, lettuce, radish and Asian greens. Rule number eight. Treat the young seedlings like your babies. They need special attention in their start to life and any stress or mistakes now will set them back in the long run. Rule number nine. Enjoy your time in the garden looking after your new-found hobby. Once you’re bitten the gardening bug is forever. Don’t be put off by a failure – we all have them. Try again and try to work out what went wrong and you’ll become a better gardener next time. Rule number ten. Don’t buy one of everything. Just buy what you need and what you actually want to grow. In the end, most fresh veges are available in stores all year round, so it’s not a race for survival.

Quality finish with design in mind DOES the idea of a new kitchen sound tempting? Maybe even a new laundry or walk-in robe? Or perhaps ng the home office set up you’ve been using just isn’t working for you anymore. Finding the right way to enjoy the space you have can often take some time. If you know what you like but you’re just not sure how it will work in your space, let alone how to execute it, it may be worth having a chat to Kev Almond from Kev’s Joinery & Shopfitters (you may know them as Kev’s Kitchens). With more than 45 years professional experience, Kev has a keen and fast eye to know just what will work in the space you are trying to create and, most importantly, he’ll listen to what you want. Being able to visualise a job is just of one Kev’s many skills. Give him a few ideas and a few minutes, and he’ll have an expertly drawn hand sketch for you to see. Functionality of a space is important and Kev makes sure that this is at the forefront of your new design and reno. While measuring, planning and quoting is without a doubt important for your home or office project, seeing the project brought to life is where Kev and his team excel. Working with qualified tradespeople, who are equally as passionate about their profession, means that when you employ Kev’s Joinery & Shopfitters to design and build your space, you know you’re going to be left with a top-quality finish. Take your ideas to the next level with the help of Kev and his team. Give him a call on 5494 6500 or drop in to see the showroom at 28 Biondi Crescent, Beerwah to get inspired about your next reno project.

Get ready for winter with Mingleford

A great sleep starts at Forty Winks

WITH winter fast approaching, the team at Mingleford Electrical wants to ensure you are not left out in the cold by sharing a few recommendations to keep you cosy and safe. As the temperature drops outside, we warm the inside of our homes with electronic and gas heaters as well as ﬁres, so ensuring your home has working and compliant smoke alarms is vital. Regularly check your smoke alarms to ensure they are working eﬀectively and sleep peacefully at night knowing your family is safe. Speaking of gas heaters, the team at Mingleford cannot stress enough how important it is to ensure your gas heater is rated to be used indoors. Incorrect use can have serious consequences. If you’re unsure of your heater’s rating, contact the team to have it checked out. “Air conditioning systems are a great way to warm the home but they can also be a great breeding ground for mould, which can cause serious health issues,” business owner Sarah Aitchison says. “Regular servicing of your systems not only ensures you’re breathing healthy air but promotes the life span of your system, which is why we recommend systems are serviced regularly.” There’s nothing like a warm shower on those chilly winter mornings but it’s quite common for hot water systems

THERE’S no denying that a good night’s sleep can do wonders. In comparison, a poor night’s sleep can leave you feeling flat, sluggish and simply not quite yourself. Studies have found that restorative sleep can leave you feeling more energic, have better judgement, improve immunity and increased memory. While there are several factors that contribute to sleep, the bed in which you lay plays a pretty important one. Creating the right space for your sleep is important and the team at Forty Winks Morayfield stocks the widest range of mattresses and bedroom furniture to not only help you find the right mattress but create the perfect space for you to wake up feeling refreshed. Along with being specialist in retail bedding, the team at Forty Winks Morayfield is serious about sleep. Specially trained in their exclusive bedMATCH® technology, the team can help take the confusion out of buying a bed by matching you to a mattress best suited to your body type and unique sleep needs. The technology is available in-store and the team makes the process as simple as possible. Simply chat to one of their sleep specialists about your needs, such as your preferred sleeping position,

to struggle in the colder temperatures, especially when there’s an underlying fault present. Having your system serviced will not only promote its life span but identify any fatigued components allowing you to replace them before they fail. Sarah says that while having a safety switch installed at your property is fantastic, it is also imperative to ensure it is operational and working properly. “We recommend having your safety switch tested regularly to ensure it’s in working order and will do the job of saving lives if required,” she said. Ensure your family stays safe and warm this winter with Mingleford Electrical. Call 5494 1653 to book in your service or inspection, or to simply have peace of mind by talking with the friendly team. (See ad below)

then put your feet up and relax while bedMATCH® takes your measurements. From this data, you’ll receive a unique profile and a friendly sleep specialist will recommend a selection of mattress and help you find the one that’s right for you. If your bedroom needs an update and you’d love a better night’s sleep, Forty Winks Morayfield has a fantastic VIP sale (which extends to family and friends) this weekend, May 29-30, with the entire mattress and furniture range at amazing prices.

And no, it’s not your overworked air conditioner. It’s your windows. Your windows can make all the diﬀerence to your household’s yearround climate. They’re estimated to be responsible for up to 30% of heat loss in winter and 40% of heat retention in summer. In other words, give your windows a little bit of attention and you could be saving yourself both the hassle of continually needing to crank up the heating or air conditioning, and a signiﬁcant amount of money. Shutters and blinds are by far the most superior choice for helping you save money through less energy expenditure. In the heat of summer, they

It’s a win/win for your household budget as well as a stylish addition to your living spaces. Factors that can have a huge impact on your energy efficiency include the gap between the covering and window, as well as simply choosing the right colour (dark attracts the sun, while light colours reflect the solar rays) or the right density of fabric blinds (the denser the fabric, the better the insulation properties). For this reason, having a professional handle installation is highly recommended, as they can make sure it’s tightly fitted and thus able to provide the best insulation possible. Your bank account doesn’t have to be a victim of the harsh Queensland sun. Install quality blinds and/or shutters in your home and discover the incredible difference they can make. Give your local hinterland representative from Factory Direct Shutters, Awnings & Blinds a call for a personalised quote and let them bring the mobile showroom to you. Phone 1300 077 125 or check out the website www.fdshutters.com.au

THE Sunshine Coast’s largest familyowned and operated lawn and garden maintenance and supply business has opened its third local store on the corner of Production and Textile Avenues, Kawana. Mooloolaba’s Sunshine Coast Mowers was purchased by David Cook in 2002. In 2012 his sons Hayden and Gerard bought the business and continued his legacy by opening a store in Caloundra in late 2014 after David died earlier that year. Hayden said that while Mooloolaba would always be their flagship store, they simply ran out of space to hold all their stock as well as their growing maintenance workshop. “We are really excited to open a new store in Kawana. It’s 290m2 of space with plenty of onsite and offsite parking, plus we are on a corner so we have great street exposure for the passing traffic,” Hayden said.

“We now employ 25 staff across all stores and, while our maintenance and repair teams will be based at Kawana and Caloundra, we’ll still have a great variety of stock to sell across all three stores. “We will also be opening our first hire service where people can come and hire any mowing or garden equipment from us,” Hayden said. The Sunshine Coast Mowers team includes highly qualified staff who have collectively won major industry awards including Australian Stihl dealer of the year, Queensland Honda dealer of year on four occasions, 2019 Hansa Chipper dealer of the year and the John Deere dealer of the year on three occasions.

Jobs for the yard in June

• IT’S your last chance to prune hydrangeas back almost to ground level. Use the cuttings to propagate new plants. • Citrus leaves may develop a yellow colour because the cool soil slows down nutrient uptake through the roots. You can boost the trees with a foliar spray of a fertiliser with trace elements. • Pinch out the tips of your sweet pea plants to make them bush up and produce more ﬂowers later. • Lift dahlia tubers, brush the soil oﬀ and store in sawdust to prevent them from rotting. • Split up old clumps of daylilies. Replant them around the garden or give some to a friend or neighbour.

• Mound soil around potatoes already growing to prevent pest attack and to stop the surface growing potatoes from going green. • As the weather becomes drier during winter and the air less humid, plants can dry out without you noticing, so keep that water up to them.

IN THE • Cut the old stems of asparagus down, top dress them with well-rotted manure or compost and mulch. • Early bindii may start to appear and, if so, hand removal is easy or spray with an appropriate herbicide. • Rose planting can be done this month. Plant them in a sunny position in soil enriched by compost and animal manure. A little bit of rose plant fertiliser will also help. Hold oﬀ pruning your roses until July. • Now’s the time to plant tomatoes as there are less pests and diseases around. • Deciduous fruit trees should be pruned. If you’re not sure what to do, buy (or borrow from the library) a good gardening book. • This month you can plant rhubarb crowns into soil enriched with animal manure, and blood and bone.

garden Vegetables

Plant Asian greens, asparagus, beans, beetroot, broad beans, broccoli, cabbage, capsicum, carrot, cauliflower, celery, chilli, cucumber, endive, garlic, kohlrabi, leeks, lettuce, onions, parsnip, peas, potato, radish, rhubarb, shallots, silverbeet, spinach, spring onion, sweet potato, turnip and tomato.

Talking Trades with Peachester Memorials BEERWAH local Wayne Osborne has been a monumental stonemason for more than 35 years and is passionate about ensuring the memory of your loved one is represented beautifully with a custom headstone. He is one of the few coast-based stonemasons specialising in monumental stonemasonry. Peachester Memorials provides a local service dedicated to honoring the life of your loved one with personalised headstones and memorials. While the process of designing and ordering can be a daunting concept

for many, Wayne understands that everyone’s circumstances are diﬀerent. He respectfully guides his clients through the process from selecting the right design and oﬀering examples of previous work, to providing advice on things to consider such as what materials are best for the position of the headstone. As part of his service, Wayne also takes care of all council applications and paperwork. As a private monumental stonemason, Wayne advises the whole process generally takes 2-4 weeks (including council

approval). The highest quality photos are made in Italy and Wayne advises this usually takes an additional 3-4 weeks. With a range of options to suit your needs and budget, including custom built monuments, Peachester Memorials also oﬀers upgrades, repairs, painting and maintenance of existing memorials. With expertise and quality workmanship, Wayne welcomes you to contact him at Peachester Memorials to work with you through the process of honoring your loved one for years to come.

Witta Tennis

Contributed by Pauline Fraley THE Witta Tennis Club Tournament will be played on Sunday, July 4 with a 9am start, cost is $10 with nominations closing on Sunday, June 27. Nominations and information to paulinefraley@gmail.com. Wednesday, May 11: The Wagtails had the bye. Friday, May 14: Whistlers played at Caloundra, against Racquettes. It was a beautiful day and we all were happy to be out there to play. We enjoyed the day with a good win. Score was 48 - 11 games, 8 - 0 sets. Team was Aki Lepper, Brenda Warner, Paula Cudmore and Annie Quarmby. Wednesday, May 19: When the Wagtails left Maleny it was raining, but sunny in Eumundi. However, by the time they arrived in Eumundi and got on the courts they only managed to play one set before being rained oﬀ. Both teams were keen to wait to see what the weather was going to do and eventually they managed to play the full eight sets. Although Eumundi Miss Gems won on the day, the Wagtails played well and provided good competition. Thanks go to Cheryl Cavanagh, Cynthia Garvie, Sheryn Golledge and Sonia Douglas.

Maleny Bowls Club

Contributed by Miles Allen IN another fortnight of fun and games, the bowls have been rolling up and down the green. Even when the green was under water two weeks ago, it was good to see over half our regular Wednesday players turning up for a burger and games of darts and cards. Last Tuesday morning Ray Ellmor and Relma Godfrey couldn’t do a thing wrong winning both games and thus taking home the big prize money. On Wednesday, May 19 Graeme Glover, John and Liz Williams played Triples at Woodford and won twice, including beating a tough local team in the second game. They got the runners up prize and apparently all three players shone and played with a good, solid team approach. At Twilight Bowls on Wednesday night there were 33 players. The rain was threatening but it stayed away. The Musketeers had their ﬁrst win for a long time, easily beating the 3 Flamingos. Mo and her Marauders did the same to Jam. The Mighty 10s had a close win over the Golfers and are now sitting comfortably on the top of the ladder with RPT. Pegasus, lacking the solid dependable play of Ray Spry, lost to an in-form Joe Walters and his Mavericks. The Oblimeys narrowly beat Christine Lister and her Outlaws in a high scoring game (17-15). In a game of Scroungers Tom Ukkola rose to the top like a spoonful of cream. Peter Eason and Steve Lawrence won the money boards and bottles of wine

sport went to Trish Edwards, Ron Smith and Ian Chatterton. At Scroungers on Friday, May 21, 18 bowlers turned up, Ben Fawns played an unorthodox game but still won his game with ease. Visitor Brad Smith gave a lesson in consistency beating some of our best players. Marilyn Podmore streaked ahead of her opponents and earned herself another reduction in her handicap. Relma Godfrey played well to come in just ahead of Roy Gesch who performed like a champion. If you want to join in the fun and games, call Wendy Bulger, our Chairperson on 0438 399 604 to get more information.

Life can have a serious edge to it but this week injects some much-needed sparkle. Whatever happens, Mercury forces a slowdown, which you don’t mind. Even if you can’t come to a complete standstill, try going with the flow. As you cruise through each day you may be pleasantly surprised at who’s stepping along beside you.

With Mercury in a mean mood for the next few weeks, beware of letting relationship upsets or misunderstandings get out of hand. This is a time when envy, jealousies or gossip could run rampant. Avoid becoming too caught up in other people’s dramas or you may end up taking the blame for whatever goes wrong.

The pace slows this week. While Leos love a break you don’t appreciate disruption to your routine. If a backward moving Mercury halts plans, don’t try to speed things up or you may jeopardise future opportunities. While waiting for your own ventures to get back on track, offer to help others. The favour will eventually be generously returned.

This week Virgos are hit by an emotional superstorm. It’s not your fault. Blame a malevolent Mercury. Unexpected or hidden issues resurface and you’re not happy about it. Some will choose to hide away from life’s current madness. Others will stick around and resolve troubling matters. Do whatever best soothes heart, mind and soul.

Your real rewards will arrive soon Libra and, despite a meddling Mercury, there’s plenty to accomplish this week. If you can survive an untimely setback there’s no stopping you. Just stay determined. One individual in particular has a powerful effect on you. A little extravagance is also likely, as you may have some extra cash to spend.

Mercury slips into hibernation inviting Scorpios to do the same. This looks like a quiet week. Talk could turn towards moving house or the need for DIY to a residence or relationship. Of course, life would be more exciting with a touch of passion. Don’t fret – someone special is nearly within kissing distance.

You prefer your life uncluttered Sagittarius. It’s unfortunate then that this week looks a tad messy, especially for those in love affairs. Perhaps one participant has failed to mention that there’s a third party in the mix. If that’s you, are you really prepared to risk everything for a short-term fling? Business matters look more settled.

With Mercury still sliding backwards don’t start anything new. To avoid errors, double check your finances, reconfirm appointments, have everything ready before a deadline and leave extra time for the unexpected. Also, remember the past has a cute way of reappearing on your doorstep when you least expect it.

It’s rare to find an Aquarian lazily lounging around but that’s just what a slowmoving Mercury has in mind for you right now. During an intense week of planetary folly, take your holiday at home and fill your days with binge TV, sleeping, yoga and, perhaps, the occasional chocolate bender. Get the rest you need.

Retrograde Mercury brings its usual upset with home life thrown into disruption. If feeling frustrated or angry, your patience with loved ones may run thin. Every Pisces has a true sense of justice, so what you give is what you expect to receive. If loved ones are taking advantage, let them know. It’s time to put yourself first.

Here we go again, with Mercury backpeddling after the 31st. Your world seems to crash in all directions this week, sending upheaval your way. Communications are delayed; money doesn’t arrive, electronics break down. If this pattern is familiar, that’s because you’ve dealt with such cosmic mischief before. Not to worry. This too shall pass.

This week’s Mercury retrograde triggers resolution of uncertain issues. Don’t put off tricky conversations, even if the situation is complicated. It’s not until July that the romance tables turn in your favour. At work, however, give yourself plenty of chances to experiment with different styles or projects. Escape the same old rut.

Get smarter mortgage advice & the most suitable loan for you

Cancel as many appointments as you can this week, especially those you dread. This is one of those mind-spinning times when life can far too easily turn into a stress fest. Instead, slide on your slippers, put your feet up and get comfortable. Keep a low profile – it could be the wisest thing you’ve done for ages. Simply relax.

Mercury continues to take the wire cutters to all lines of communication, so forget any presumptuous ideas you had of flourishing rapport. Nobody’s talking, at least not in the way you’d like. Brace yourself for another week of detoured payments, dysfunctional diallers and ambiguous agreements.

Sometime in the recent past inappropriate relationships or situations either at home or at work were weeded out. At the time this may have caused some distress but it was necessary. The only individuals now left in your life are those of real value. With this improved clarity of vision you’ll no longer fall under the spell of romantic illusions.

Thanks to an erratic Mercury indecision could be your downfall this week, so postpone any major decisions or plans. Someone will be pressing you for an answer but they can wait a little longer. Don’t let yourself to be bullied. Also keep a tight hold of your purse strings – avoid the temptation to overspend.

There will probably be a few raised eyebrows this week as you assume a radically different outlook. How loved ones react to your mood swings could determine the future of a particular relationship. By insisting on freedom to make your own decisions you may end up making all the choices yourself. Is that what you really want?

Prevention is better than cure Scorpio, so if an old ailment looks as if it might recur, get it checked and sent packing. Even in perfect health you may choose to withdraw to reassess your direction and values. If friends ask for your intervention in their conflicts don’t buy into any trouble. At most, offer sympathy but maintain grace under pressure.

Don’t get dragged through the week kicking and screaming Sagittarius. Rather than resist change rethink your priorities. Chances are you have a dormant collection of artifacts and half-baked projects that are ready for the bonfire. Finally you can concentrate on your own needs.

It’s all or nothing this week Capricorn. A partnership could be in a do-ordie phase with an armoury of lethal emotions firing back and forth. In facing your demons, you may now seek a deeper meaning to your being. However, keep a few kilos of salt handy for the words of false prophets. Don’t rely too much on others – make up your own mind.

This week double check dates, times and emails. Why? Because a very erratic Mercury causes havoc until early next month. Use this time to go through old files, tidy up correspondence, complete projects and tend to unfinished business. Computers, phones, cars or other electronic objects may experience slowdowns or unexpected failures.

Take a fixed stance on something and the opposite will surely prove you wrong. This week much of what you’ve held up as true seems in the process of being destroyed. Before you go drowning in a well of self-pity throw in a couple of coins and wish for a lifejacket. If nothing else, you’ll find some pocket change and that should raise hopes.

It’s hard sticking to the centre of a problem when your head is spinning like a centrifuge but once the mind settles options will become more defined. There are times in your life when a crisis forces a change. That time is now. Along with altering the way you react to others, you develop a deep need to locate that special power that’s within us all.

It’s time to sit down and resolve your problems with loved ones. If you don’t take this opportunity to talk with your spouse, colleagues or friends, then expect upheavals by week’s end. Clear the air by unearthing any hidden hostilities. Discuss finances especially. Health will improve once the tension has been cleared.

JUST FOR LAUGHS What the witness knew

DURING a trial in southern USA a small-town prosecuting attorney called his ﬁrst witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked: “Mrs Jones, do you know me?” She responded: “Why yes, I do know you Mr Williams. I’ve known you since you were a boy and, frankly, you’ve been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people to talk about them behind their backs. You think you’re a big shot when you haven’t the brains to realise you’ll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.” The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the

room and asked: “Mrs Jones, do you know the defence attorney?” She replied: “Why yes I do. I’ve known Mr Bradley since he was a youngster too. He’s lazy, big-oted and he has a drinking problem, he can’t build normal relationships with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three diﬀerent women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.” The defence attorney very nearly died on the spot. The judge asked both attorneys to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said: “If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me – you will both be going down.” Contributed by Maggie Townsend
