Big cheque for Cancer Council

Contributed by Bruce Page (Committee Chair) The Beerwah Charity Sports Committee is thrilled to report a very successful outcome from the 2017 Charity Sports.

We recently presented $26,000 to Cancer Council Queensland (CCQ).

Thanks again to everyone who helped make this happen.

We handed over this wonderful cheque on behalf of the Glasshouse Country community – the Charity Sports Committee, other supporting

groups, our generous sponsors, the people who donated goods or time, volunteers, participants, performers, judges... and all who came along to join in the fun on the day.

Committee members who were able to attend along with representatives from Beerwah Lions and Drive for Compassion were proud to present Savannah Roberts, representing Cancer Council Queensland, with the results of the fundraising efforts.

Hi Everyone...

Well, we are almost in mid-October and the last long weekend of the year is well behind us, so you know what that means – the countdown is now on to the Big C… yes, Christmas isn’t far la la la la away!

Well actually there is Melbourne Cup first, which means in this week’s edition we are going to give you the heads up on all of the local events that are happening on the day that stops the nation (and this year there are lots of choices).

I do know our team does like to get into the spirit of Christmas a little ahead of time, but for those of you that are in denial, it is only 75 sleeps until the fella in red arrives down your chimney. So you need to start planning for your Christmas parties, catch ups and of course for the big day.

Thanks to our dedicated knitter, Lottie Nisbett, work is almost complete on our customised yarn bombed Christmas Tree, all ready for a late November unveiling!

So you have been warned. Our official countdown of the number of editions until Christmas will be on the paper from next week!

Regards, And Christmas – I say bring it on!!

“You don’t have to be famous to be nominated for our Australia Day Awards, we’re looking for the unsung heroes.

“The person may be young or old, have achieved something truly special, it may have been a brave act, an act of unparalleled kindness, or an

act of sacrifice for a greater good.

“We need to think about those who have made a difference to us all here on our Sunshine Coast and then we need to nominate them for a 2018 Sunshine Coast Australia Day Award.”

If you know a person, community group or organisation worthy of an award, nominate them now in one of the these categories: Citizen of the Year; Young Citizen of the Year; Senior Citizen on the Year; Community Group or Organisation; Environment; Creative; or Sport and Recreation.

Local services visited

Member for Glass House Andrew Powell welcomed Shadow Minister Ros Bates to the Glass House and neighbouring electorates last Friday to introduce her to local organisations delivering innovative and quality services in the disability, community and aged care sectors.

The itinerary for Ms Bates, Andrew Powell MP with Glasshouse Country who is Shadow Minister Care clients for Communities, Women & Youth, Child Safety and the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence and Shadow Minister for Disability Services and Seniors, included visits to Compass Connections Café at Nambour, the Mooloolah Community Centre and Glasshouse Country Care at Beerwah.

Andrew said, "I am in awe of the organisations we have in our community delivering incredible, ‘out of the box’ services in the aged-care, community and disability sectors day in day out without the need for accolades.

“I was delighted to showcase these organisations to Ros, given their alignment to her portfolio, and we had some great discussions about current and future challenges the sector face and how these businesses are turning those challenges in to opportunities,” he said.

Fitting memorial What better memorial could you have for Bill Richardson, who died recently, than to kick-start a project that is about the safety and security of women in the community?

Rob and Sam Outridge of Maleny Supa IGA have donated $2,500 towards a proposed community initiative to be coordinated

by Maleny Neighbourhood Centre (MNC).

Through this initiative the MNC aims to establish a share house that can be used to provide temporary accommodation for women and children whilst more stable accommodation is sought for them.

Bill Richardson was a man of action, a strong advocate for social justice and the safety of women and children, a strong advocate for non-violence towards women and children, and a supporter of initiatives of the MNC. MNC is all too aware of the housing needs of single older women, women experiencing homelessness, and women moving out of unsafe housing situations.

MNC has found that assisting women to move into more stable housing can often take 2-3 months. Over the last couple of years the MNC has tried different options to secure grant funding and to work in partnership with local individuals, organisations and businesses to test the viability of a community managed share house.

The share house would provide safe temporary housing as the women or women and children make the transition to long term housing.

At Bill’s memorial service, Rob Outridge stated that he would like to donate funds towards a cause in memory of Bill’s community work. He said these funds came from small fees paid by stallholders using IGA land next to Maleny Realty.

It is a virtuous circle of giving, land is owned by a community business, it is managed by a local agency (Maleny Realty) to generate funds, local stallholders operate in a prime location for a reasonable fee, and the funds generated work to create a community solution to a community problem.

In the next few weeks the MNC will convene a meeting of interested individuals, organisations and businesses to take this project to the next stage – to secure the support of a community consortium to add to the $2,500 of funds and establish and manage a share house.

In home hospital service

Sunshine Coast Hospital’s Hospital in the Home 87 Beerwah Pde, Beerwah E: tamika@beerwahdiscounttyres.com.au (HITH) service celebrated their 1,000th patient last week since being launched in October 2014.

MOOLOOLAH Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service DENTAL SURGERY (SCHHS), in partnership with Silver Chain Group, David Zimmermann offers a unique approach to delivering exceptional Mark Hall care for patients with its HITH service.

EXCELLENCE IN DENTAL CARE Clinical Director Dr Nova Evans said HITH was the delivery of short term and after-hospital care in the FRIENDLY SUPPORTIVE STAFF patient’s home as a substitute for being in hospital.

Medicare Child Dental Benefits welcome “HITH is an innovative model of care that 20 Karanne Drive, Mooloolah provides patients with a safe and high quality (next to Medical Centre) alternative to traditional hospital treatment, in the comfort of their own home,” Dr Evans said.

Phone 5494 7011 “Most patients prefer to be treated in the privacy of their home, with their family or friends on hand. They can resume their usual activities and routines more quickly.

“Patients tend to have improved recovery and outcomes at home, generally with fewer SUBARU SPECIALIST complications.”

• A-Grade Mechanical Repairs Local Silver Chain Clinical Nurse Sue Murphy & Log Book Servicing said treating people in the comfort of their own on all types of vehicles homes provides better outcomes for patients and • Disc & Drum Machining frees up hospital beds.

“Reaching our 1,000th patient is huge achievement, and we look forward to helping more people in their homes so they too can live their lives as they choose.”

Joshua Taylor, a HITH patient from Eudlo, appreciates the convenience of receiving hospitallevel care in the comfort of his own home.

“The Hospital in the Home program allowed me to be at home with my children, eat my own food when I wanted and sleep in my own comfortable bed for a night of uninterrupted sleep,” Joshua said.

“I didn't even know it was an option at first, it was definitely a wonderful experience for my family.”

HITH care is provided by clinicians from many specialties including infectious diseases, gerontology, general practice, emergency medicine, orthopaedics, cardiology, paediatrics, respiratory, and surgery.

HITH patients remain classified as hospital inpatients for the duration of the episode of care.

Silver Chain is a not-for-profit organisation and one of the largest in-home health and aged care providers in Australia delivering community health and wellbeing services across Australia.

Landsborough local off to Antarctica!

By Sonia Clark After an extensive selection process, Landsborough local Bob Wilson is about to fulfill a life-long ambition to join the Australian Antarctic Division.

Later this month the long term maintenance professional (who is also a plumber by trade), will take five months off from his government job to join a small number of support staff working in Antarctica.

The once in a lifetime opportunity will involve an extensive training session of nearly two weeks, nearly a month of travel (there and back) and just over three months working at Davis Research Station.

Bob said it was something he’d dreamed about for a long time.

“When I was younger I really wanted to do this but I didn’t have enough experience,” he said.

“Then I got married and my wife and I raised four kids and I got busy with family life and work. Now the kids are all in their thirties, so I thought I’d give it another go.”

Bob certainly has the experience now with over 20 years working as a maintenance supervisor for a government organisation and over 40 years plumbing experience.

His job in Antarctica will be as a maintenance plumber ensuring that the air conditioners, hot water systems and sewage treatment systems

keep working – all vitally important at the remote (and freezing) outpost.

An incredible 3,600 applications were received to fill just 20 maintenance support positions and the selection process was extremely (and understandably) rigorous including online and face to face interviews, role play and in depth psychological and physical assessments.

Bob will fly to Hobart for training on October 17, before between 10 and 14 days of travel on an icebreaker tackling waves of up to 10 metres!

Bob is a little bit nervous about the sea journey, but his excitement about the trip overrides any prejourney jitters.

“I’ve done a bit of fishing in my time so I think my sea legs won’t be too bad – my biggest concern will be missing the family.

“Toni and I have been married 37 years and we’ve only been apart from each other for two weeks.

She is excited I’ve got the job, but I’ll definitely be missing her and the family!”

Having just turned 60, Bob is looking forward to the adventure ahead.

He will also will be taking a couple of miniature toy penguins and seals as “travelling companions” and is looking forward to taking pictures of them around the station to send back to the grandkids.

Update with Ursula Starkovsky Chamber President

Changing Habits Farm Tour

Whether you’re an experienced farmer, a hobby gardener, interested in permaculture and holistic land management, and/or sustainable living, you will be inspired by the ‘behind the scenes’ farm tour at Changing Habits Farm at Reesville. Gain first-hand knowledge of sustainable and ethical holistic land management and food production practices on the 60 acre farm.

Meet Cyndi O’Meara and consulting polyculture specialist Scott Robinson, who will explain the importance of a grazing plan for all domestic animals to help build more top soil (humus) and how you can manage animals in your backyard.

Scott will also talk about the methodology behind mixed planting of native and exotic fruit trees and how to start your own garden using the same principles.

He will also share the importance of correct composting, animal and plant integration and why diversity is the key to regenerative food production.

Enjoy an organic morning tea with like-minded people taking in the stunning scenery of the farm, chatting about your future gardening plans. You might even get the opportunity to collect some eggs too!

Welcome Landsborough Subcommittee!

The Chamber of Commerce and the Landsborough Action Group have been working hard behind the scenes to pave the way to incorporate Landsborough businesses into the infrastructure of the Glasshouse Country Chamber of Commerce.

We all know that Landsborough is facing some pretty significant challenges in future with the closure of the rail crossing and the planned beautification of the town centre (like Beerwah in the past).

These are very serious issues and it will take the entire business community to be part of a group to have input in the planning and implementation of these significant changes.

The Glasshouse Country Chamber of Commerce is happy to announce that the Landsborough Action Group is now operating as a subcommittee within the chamber.

The subcommittee will be focusing on matters important to Landsborough, with the support of the entire chamber community.

Our last general meeting, held at the Beerwah Hotel, produced some good discussions amongst the participants.

Tourism in the Hinterland region is just one of the big topics that will keep everybody busy for a long time, with accommodation – or the lack thereof – being a major factor.

The chamber will no doubt play a major role in driving the tourism dollars into our local business communities. However, to be effective and relevant, all businesses need to be part of the chamber.

Only if we have a united voice, can we achieve what might be impossible for an individual.

Application forms are available on our website www.glasshousecountrychamber.com.au.

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

Community News Marking 500 years since the Reformation Contributed by Phill Thamm Chairman of the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church The Catholic and Lutheran churches have come closer together in recent decades and are holding many combined events along with other denominations this year. One such event is the screening in Maleny of the 2003 film ‘Luther’ starring Joseph Fiennes.

It is a wonderful, entertaining historical drama that that shows how one man’s faith in God changed the history of the world.

Little did Martin Luther know that by Martin Luther painted the posting of his 9 152 Lucas Cranach

95 Theses would spark a revolution known as the Protestant Reformation.

The Reformation has shaped religious and cultural history for the last 500 years. This year Christians across the world are marking the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.

Beginnings: Luther was born in Germany in 1483 and followed the wishes of his father to study law. During this time he was caught in a violent thunderstorm and he vowed that if he was saved, he would become a monk. Luther kept to his word and joined an austere Augustinian Order to become a priest and then a doctor of theology. Later he developed objections to many church practices. He protested the promotion of indulgences, the buying and selling of clerical privileges, and the accumulation of substantial wealth by the church while peasants barely survived. Legend has it that on October 31, 1517, Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg, the town where he was living.

This date and the event have become symbolic of the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. The thesis outlined the abuses he saw in the church and the subsequent Reformation caused the division of Christianity into Protestantism and Catholicism.

Luther was branded an outlaw for refusing to recant his teachings and, in 1521, the Pope excommunicated him from the Roman Church.

His patron had him secreted in a castle to avoid further reprisals and he remained there for

two years. It was during that time that Luther produced an immensely influential translation of the New Testament into German. Thanks to Luther’s translation of the Bible, it became possible for German-speaking people to stop relying on church authorities and instead read the Bible for themselves. Luther argued that ordinary people were not only capable of interpreting the scriptures for themselves, but that in doing so they stood the best chance of hearing God’s word. He wrote, “Let the man who would hear God speak read Holy Scripture.”

Luther’s Bible helped form a common German dialect. Prior to Luther, people from different regions of present-day Germany often experienced great difficulty understanding one another.

Luther’s Bible translation promoted a single German vernacular, helping to bring people together around a common tongue. In promoting his point of view, Luther helped to provide one of the most effective arguments for universal literacy in the history of Western civilisation.

Stockland’s Aura community on the Sunshine Coast has joined in with local school children, organisations and community members to celebrate this year’s World Habitat Day. This is the first time World Habitat Day celebrations have been organised by the community, which is recognised as Australia’s most sustainable greenfield masterplanned community by the Green Building Council of Australia.

Several classes of Unity College students ranging from Years 5-12 gathered with residents and representatives of community organisations at Unity College at Bellvista to explore this year’s global theme of ‘Housing Policies: Affordable Homes’ with particular emphasis on fire management.

A group of 20 staff and students, as well as local authorities and community members including representatives from the Aura Community Advisory Group, then toured conservation areas adjacent to the 24 square kilometre Aura site.

Ben Simpson, Regional Manager for Stockland, said discussions centred on how affordable housing design at Aura fits in with the natural environment.

“This is a particularly important topic for the local region given the recent bushfires, as our coastal environment needs appropriate fire to promote biodiversity and support habitat for wildlife and reduce the risk of wildfire,” Mr Simpson said.

“As part of our planning and development of Aura, we have been working closely with a range of authorities, experts and community stakeholders to develop innovative fire management plans.

“The collaboration of community stakeholders through our Aura Community Advisory Group, facilitated by Healthy Land and Water, has also resulted in cultural fire management techniques being taught to traditional owners and local firefighters at Aura – a first for the Sunshine Coast.”

Speakers at Unity College included representatives from Bunya Bunya Country Aboriginal Corporation explaining the traditional burning regime at Aura; Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) revealing learnings from the recent bushfires; SEQ Fire and Biodiversity Consortium speaking of the need for control burns to promote ecosystem diversity, and University of New England PhD candidate Michelle McKemey discussing the collective development of a fire and seasons calendar for the coastal environment. business and enterprise parks.

Leanda Talks Why yoga is for me?

Join me for a Day of Health and Yoga Satsang - Saturday October 28 As a naturopath and yoga instructor I have combined the values of naturopathic philosophy and the principles of yoga to present this half day Satsang full of inspiring ways to cleanse, purify and create harmony within ourselves.

It is often validated to me through my clinic practice that you cannot just treat the one aspect of self but rather need to look at all aspects i.e.

Body (physical health), Mind (emotional stability) and Soul (spiritual values).

Why yoga for me? Yoga brings a science to understanding life. It offers the techniques and knowledge to bring yourself back to balance and to achieve health and vitality working with your own natural ability.

It’s been over 17 years since I first started practicing yoga and I have been teaching since 2011.

With a background as a naturopath, each class I draw an emphasis on health, which allows students to feel empowered about their own health and wellbeing and each session is also infused with messages of mindfulness and philosophy.

My signature style is Hatha Flow and also Yin, delving deeper into the therapeutic benefits of poses. As a teacher my aim is to share the art of balance, strength and stillness within this busy world in which we live. Classes are a mixture of strong flow and a gentleness that allows for connection to that stillness.

Vegan Banana Bread

Leanda Weynton - Naturopath ND and Yoga Teacher I completed my teacher training at Yoga Vidya Gurukul India through studying traditional yoga which is the authentic form of yoga focusing on lifestyle and based on Ashtanga yoga and Hatha yoga practices.

My passion for yoga and health led me to extend my qualifications to Yoga Therapy where I use the science behind yoga with Cleansing Techniques, Meditation, Breathing Practices, Posture and Movement combined with education of Lifestyle and Holistic Nutrition to support each individual client’s needs.

My teaching incorporates a well rounded meditative approach to assist your awakening into a deeper experience of yoga. I’m also passionate about chanting, pranayama and meditation, and teach these aspects within classes, retreats and workshops.

Ingredients: • 3 large ripe bananas • 1 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour (can use gluten free option) • 1 1/2 cup tapioca flour • 2 teaspoons baking powder • 1 cup coconut sugar • 40ml vegetable oil (I used avocado) • 1 teaspoon cinnamon • 1 teaspoon mixed spice • 1/2 cup pitted dates chopped • 30ml water Method: • Preheat oven to 180oC • Mix all dry ingredients together • Add oil and water • In another bowl mash banana until light and fluffy • Gently fold banana into the flour keeping the air in it • Add more water if needed • Add dates • Put into a loaf pan • Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown (time will depend on oven) • Allow to cool before serving

The Rotary Club of Glasshouse Mountains will be hosting its inaugural Pride of Workmanship dinner and awards night on Saturday October 21 at the Beerwah Golf Club.

The evening will recognise the incredible community contribution demonstrated by members of our local emergency services and is open to everyone to attend.

Rotary spokeswoman Kay Farrell says that feedback about the awards has been positive and the night will provide a great opportunity to give public recognition to these community minded people.

“The Pride of Workmanship dinner is a way that we can recognise the invaluable community involvement of our local emergency services people – many of whom put their lives on the line,” said Kay. Nominations have been called from the heads of stations for local police, ambulance, fire and emergency services and three awards for each category will be given out on the night.

The evening will feature a three course meal, licensed bar to purchase drinks and musical entertainment from Glasshouse Christian College students.

A number of local businesses and organisations have also generously donated raffle prizes including items or vouchers from Icon Boutique, Beerwah Jewellers, Beerwah Newsagency and a beautiful handcrafted quilt from the Mountain Quilters Group. The night will also feature guest speaker and long term local resident Anne Ross, who will deliver an interesting and informative talk about the local area.

Tickets are $35 and available by contacting Kay Farrell on 0409 071 007 or Rod Jones on 0409 071 007.

Orchid Show’s blooming success Contributed by Jenny Kelly You would think that after last year's effort, the Glasshouse Country Orchid Show couldn't get any better. But it has. With around a thousand people through the door over the two days, it seems obvious that the show is on most people’s spring 'to do' list.

For an event such as this to be successful, many people need to put in a great deal of effort. We were delighted by the orchid displays of the eight societies in our district. Besides Glasshouse, there were displays from Bribie, Caboolture, Gympie, Society President Michael Keegan presents Judy Jurek with her raffle prize

Maroochydore, Nambour, Noosa and Sunshine Coast.

We must also thank our sponsors, Bassett Barks, Glasshouse Country and Maleny News, Beerwah Flowers and Gifts, Matilda Fruit Barn, Aranbeem Nurseries and Peachester Fruit Shop, for their generosity. Without your support the show couldn't be the success that it is.

Our raffle winners were a very happy Judy Jurek, a soon to be resident of Beerwah, with ticket red F64. Second prize was won by Dr Ping of Caloundra, with ticket red F73, and third went to Angeline Manca from Beerburrum, with orange F25. The winner of our 'Guess the Flowers' contest was Janine Bennington from Witta with a guess of 265. The actual number in the vase was 266.

For all of you who fell under the spell of these amazing flowering plants, and who would like to know more, please feel free to come along to our next meeting. Bring your orchid along, or just yourselves, to Glasshouse RSL Hall this Thursday, October 12, for a 7.30pm start. We look forward to seeing you there. Till then, happy growing.

Pomodoras celebrates seven years on the Obi This month join Chris and Jodi Bond along with their awesome Pomodoras team to celebrate their seventh year on the Obi and 11 years in Maleny.

“We can’t believe how that time has just flown by so quickly,” says owner Jodi Bond.

For those who remember, the Bonds first set up business in Maleny around in the little Coral Street café in 2006.

In October 2010, after 26 months in council process, Chris and Jodi’s dream of owning their own restaurant finally came true.

“It was certainly a long and difficult process as we went through the GFC and the amalgamation of the Sunshine Coast Council, but we said there was no turning back now – we just had to keep going,” says Jodi’s father, Roger Wright, who was project manager and builder.

Now in 2017, not only have they just won their second award as Best Restaurant in QLD/NT, but they have also made Maleny their home with their two beautiful children, Emma, 8, and Sarah, 5, who will be the future entrepreneurs at Pomodoras on Obi. “Emma has already started to plan what they might be doing when they run Pomodoras,” says their very proud mum.

Pomodoras on Obi has always supported the local community in any way they can with donations of restaurant vouchers for fundraising events, dine and donate months for charity organisations and hundreds of bottles of their amazing balsamic dressing product donated to local clubs and schools.

If you don’t already have a bottle of the amazing Pomodoras balsamic dressing in your pantry, then you can grab a bottle or sample gift box from your local IGA store. It is now becoming a sought after product with interest growing interstate and now internationally, after they took it to Sydney for the Fine Food Trade Show.

“We always knew that the dressing would be one of the best ingredients for the success of our business,” says head chef/owner Chris Bond.

“We are very excited about upscaling the product and getting it out to more and more stores, which keeps our staff busy.”

Did you also know that Pomodoras on Obi offers so much more than just good food? They have a 10% seniors’ discount Monday to Thursday for lunch, a kids eat for free offer on Monday

– Friday evenings, Brisbane/Sunshine Coast Entertainment book offers, RACQ dining rewards, plus an in-house dining reward scheme where for every dollar you spend at Pomodoras you accumulate Pomodoradollars (see website for more details).

This month, to celebrate seven years on the Obi, Pomodoras gives you even more reasons to come back and dine. If you are already an active member of their dining rewards you will be earning even more Pomodoradollars when you dine with them in October and new members who sign up in October online, either through their website or Facebook, will automatically go in the draw to win one of seven $50 gift vouchers.

Eat, Drink & Enjoy Family heirloom recipe swap

Maleny tea expo

Maleny Super IGA is hosting a Spring Tea Party on Saturday October 28 from 10am until 11am at the Maleny Hotel function room. Local lads Steve and Adrian from Maleny Coffee are also big on tea brewing and they will be sharing their secrets to achieving the perfect brew including tips on correct steeping time, methods and the ideal tea temperature.

Their last Maleny Coffee event was packed to capacity so this time they have moved to a bigger venue at the Maleny Hotel, but numbers are still limited so book in quick!

This free event will feature an informative brewing presentation and a tasty cooking demo featuring a tea inspired recipe to tempt your tastebuds.

Dietitian Kali Gray will wrap up the morning with a fun look at what tea can do for your health and there will be tea samples as well as a yummy morning tea. To book, please email dietitian@ outridgesiga.com.au or call 5494 2257. Please note that first preference will be given to online bookings.

In the month of November, Maleny Library will be showcasing memorabilia, artefacts and local images depicting the Maleny community during WW2.

During this month of commemoration, they will be holding a recipe swap and would like to encourage locals to contribute handwritten copies of a family or heirloom recipe, along with a short description of why the recipe is important to you or your family, for display at the library. (Please note, that if you contribute a recipe, ensure that it is a copy and not the original, as it will become a part of the Maleny Library Local Studies Collection after the display period finishes.)

The idea is that these local recipes will be on display for the month and available for members of the community to access and try at home.

The aim of the recipe swap is to strengthen local community connections.

Environment Macadamia shells could save lives

Scientists have discovered that macadamia nut shells could be a powerful tool for Australian hospitals to use in the treatment of poisonings.

New research conducted by Murdoch University shows that crushed macadamia shells could be more efficient than traditional charcoal in treating certain kinds of poisoning, such as paracetamol overdoses.

Currently, Australian medical facilities treat patients by getting them to ingest a charcoal made from coconut shells which expand in the stomach to soak up toxins.

This latest research has found the absorption rate of crushed macadamia shells is similar to the traditional coconut shell treatment but can be specially engineered to be more effective at mopping up toxins, and drug specific.

Hort Innovation chief executive John Lloyd said the new finding paves the way for growers and processors to tap into an additional income stream.

“Limiting food waste is an increasing area of research investment for horticulture industries. Growers are always looking for novel ways to repurpose their produce off-cuts,” he said.

“When it comes to macadamias, 65% of the weight of the nut is in the shell so there is a huge volume of shell generated.

“These findings are exciting because they present a great opportunity to add value, providing another revenue stream in macadamia production,” he said.

Glasshouse Mountains Advancement Network The price of progress Progress and development are inevitable in a popular region such as ours, with large numbers of people moving here every week, needing housing, schools and functioning traffic systems.

However, the piles of chopped trees we are seeing everywhere at the moment are confronting. The rate of woody vegetation clearing in Queensland trebled after the previous government’s changes to vegetation laws, increasing to more than 290,000 hectares per year.

According to WWF-Australia, in the two years between 2013 and 2015, tree clearing was responsible for the deaths of more than 68 million animals in Queensland, a truly sobering figure.

Many die immediately but many more suffer from the stresses of losing their habitat, being forced into the territories of others of their species, or into fragmented habitat with insufficient food sources.

Fragmentation changes ecological patterns, processes and interactions in communities, and encourages the invasion of feral species.

Habitat loss is the single greatest threat to threatened species.

More than 240 species of native Australian plants and animals are under threat of extinction from land clearing, including 56 birds, 22 mammals, and 140 plant species.

Land clearing not only causes the loss of species and habitat, but also reduces the resilience of populations to survive future pressures, such as climate change. Other significant negative effects result, including the increase in erosion and sediment runoff into streams and wetlands and into offshore coastal environments. The loss of large areas of bush also affects rainfall and temperature regimes, and increases the emissions of greenhouse gases.

Spring

Melbourne Cup Turn heads on race day

Spring Racing Season is here and what better way to complete your outfit than with a stunning headpiece? Brenda Treasure from LilyM Hats has recently launched a brand new Hinterland studio and showroom to complement the Brisbane outlet and Hong Kong based sourcing centre. She brings decades of experience to help create beautifully bespoke hats and headpieces guaranteed to enhance any race day look.

“Lots of headpieces with wirework will be seen this season, with bursts of flowers made of leather and fabrics,” says Brenda.

A headpiece that complements the complete outfit is always a winner. Think about colours matching and even consider incorporating pieces of the outfit fabric into the headpiece. It is always worth taking into account the design of the fabric. Does it have stripes, flowers, beading? Then try to incorporate those features into your hat or headpiece.

If you plan on entering ‘Fashions on the Field’ – think something totally different that has never been seen before. Remember to consider the complete outfit, not just the clothes and headpiece, but also all the accessories, shoes, gloves and how you wear your hair.

Boaters are back this year, but with the added twist of incorporating appliqués.

Fancy headbands, crowns and tiaras are also set to be big again this season.

Let Brenda design a unique piece that will turn heads, or book a group class to learn to make your own. For more details, visit www.lilymhats.com.au or like their Facebook page or contact Brenda on 5494 9299 or 0419 511 799.

School News Approved soccer training for kids aged 18 months -7 years

Beerwah hits the slopes

On September 17, 21 Beerwah State High School students flew to Queenstown, New Zealand, for a week of snow and adventure.

A school spokesperson said that, during their week in NZ, students were able to build their snowboarding skills at Remarkables, Coronet Peaks and Cardrona Ski Hills.

“For some students, this was their first trip to the snow and was an amazing opportunity to challenge themselves,” the spokesperson said.

“In addition to snowboarding, students also participated in jet boating, rode the Skyline

Gondola to the top of the mountain where they got to race each other on the luge track, and watched the Kiwi Haka Show. Students also enjoyed seeing the sites and exploring Queenstown throughout the week. Everyone was very worn out by the end of the week but it was definitely an exciting and memorable way to spend the first week of school holidays.”

Mooloolah students dive in to swimming season

FREE TRIAL Classes Saturday Mornings at Landsborough Primary School

Contributed by Michelle Lencz The pool is open. All students from Prep to Year 6 have jumped in this term at Mooloolah State School with swimming lessons and skills in PE, and for the preps it’s their first time!

The program teaches younger students important skills and safety aspects about being in an around the water, all while having fun and learning to swim too, while the older and more confident students learn stroke correction or enhancements, lap swimming and survival skills as part of the school curriculum. This week the Prep students

did a fantastic job of safe entries, blowing bubbles, going under, floating and kicking.

The skills and techniques learnt throughout the term gear the students up for the swimming carnival at the end of the year, a massive event that I’m sure every student will be keen for as swimming is a huge part of our school community. It’s offered at a reduced rate for 20 weeks of the school year, which enhances confidence, skills and a love of learning to swim.

Who knows, maybe there’s a future Olympian in our midst here at Mooloolah!

There is also an opportunity for the children to participate in Swim Club that is run every Friday night by Mooloolah Magic Swim Club. Entry is $1 to swim and $1 for a sausage sizzle. All ages and abilities are welcome to race and record times, so if interested see Mrs Rachel Muller at the school.

“Small School Experience - BIG OPPORTUNITIES” 22

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

Outdoor learning and inner peace encouraged!

The various benefits of outdoor play in a natural setting are well documented. At Glass House Early Education Centre the continuing expansion of their beautiful outdoor play area which also supports local ecosystems is a huge focus. The children who attend the centre are actively encouraged to learn more about outside environments with a particular focus on local flora and fauna. With this is mind, the centre has recently collaborated with local native nursery group GMAN (Glasshouse Mountains Advancement Network) to help to establish their outdoor area with all local native plants and species. The idea is to create a ‘sensory garden’ where the children can learn more about native plants species and bush tucker.

Last week the staff and children were super excited to plant out their first tree – a Lilly Pilly donated by the local nursery. Midyin Berry and Velvet Hop Bush have also been planted and the children are looking forward to learning more about native edible plants. Centre coordinator Ange Hardey has big plans to continue to develop

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

the gardens which not only offer a wonderful learning and creative play opportunity but also promote the importance of sustainability and support of the local environment.

“We are so pleased that our native garden is underway and we have so many ideas about how to enrich this space for the children. Our long term goal is to be able to have native bees so we are really keen to establish a vibrant sustainable garden which will also be able to support our local fauna,” says Ange.

Recently the Centre hosted an information evening about the endangered Richmond Birdwing Butterfly and ways to support the local ecology by using Richmond Birdwing Butterfly vines to help attract this rare butterfly species. One of the centre’s Dads purchased 10 plants on the night and since then he and his family have already seen this endangered butterfly visit their garden!

Another centre project that has just been completed is the dedicated yoga room. This specially appointed room located in Centre 2 has been created as part of the centre’s commitment to encouraging the emotional wellbeing of its children. The larger dedicated area means that the centre’s daily yoga practice is much more comfortable and the inviting space will support the children’s needs for rest and relaxation. The room can be used by all age groups throughout any time of the day.

Staff members are currently studying toward achieving their ‘Cosmic Kids’ yoga qualifications and the idea behind the project is that by having a separate space within the centre for a yoga studio children's behaviour will be positively supported as well as providing excitement for the children getting to visit another space in the centre.

‘Cosmic Kids’ yoga is a story-based child-focused practice that also incorporates alphabet learning.

Parents can also access lessons online through YouTube and already the daily practice is a huge hit with the children.

“Embedding yoga within the centre’s service is an important addition for us to help support the children's healthy bodies and healthy minds. This is part of our long term commitment to continue to encourage and educate the children in the importance of healthy choices,” explains Ange.

For an obligation free tour of the centre, or even to just ask a few questions, please call 5438 7311, or call in to 2 Page Street, Glass House Mountains (no appointment necessary).

Community call out!

To assist with current STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) activities, the centre is looking for a donation of a PH water testing kit.

You Said It Adani - Remote Prospects

The recent excellent ABC program on Four Corners highlighted the corruption and environmental vandalism of the Adani Group.

There have been several reports generated about the proposed Adani Carmichael mine, none more succinct than the 2017 Status Report titled ‘Adani - Remote Prospects’ by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis.

The $5 billion Adani Carmichael mine project has been postponed on a number of occasions and staff have been retrenched.

It is no longer seen as a strategic project for Adani. This is borne out by the fact that Adani are trying to sell their Mundra coal plant for one rupee, or two cents. Mundra was to be the main recipient for Carmichael coal but has run at a consistent loss from day one, and now cannot afford to operate without significant Indian government support.

According to the IEEFA report, Adani is investing $30 billion in India in many strategic projects, including renewable energy. The Indian Government has established a very strong renewable target for India, so this is where Adani is now concentrating its strategic business focus, in India.

The remote Australian Carmichael mine is close to becoming a stranded asset, if it is not already.

Premier Palasczuk does not want the Adani Carmichael mine to be stranded, as she could lose five or six seats at the next election and lose government.

That is why she is vehemently sticking to the line that 10,000 jobs will be created, a fake figure apparently postulated by the federal Liberal MP, George Christensen. Premier Palasczuk must come clean with the electorate before the next election, dump Adani as a vote keeping strategy, and put into place a plan to re-educate and retrain Queensland communities for new jobs and what they can do to maintain their way of life, and potentially extend her Government beyond 2018.

The alternative is not pretty.

Why the intolerance?

In recent issues of the Glasshouse Country & Maleny News writers have written letters objecting to signage of current State Member Andrew Powell being displayed locally. Seeing these posters are on private property and not infringing laws, what is their problem? Are we in our society getting so intolerant that if I have a different view from you, then I have no right to have that view? This is not the Australia that I grew up from childhood to manhood in.

Dangerous propaganda

Today I was disgusted to find a flyer in my mailbox from the Coalition for Marriage, stating the following libellous and untruthful accusations against marriage equality, and I quote: 1."Saying yes to gay marriage means saying yes to radical gay sex education."

2."Political correctness will be weaponised and used to shut down free speech."

3."Activists will use anti-discrimination laws to prevent churches, charities and schools from teaching or operating in accordance with their beliefs."

4."Vote no to protect your freedoms."

These statements are absolute nonsense and I strongly urge all fair minded people to totally ignore them.

Marriage equality is simply about the legal recognition of rights for spouses, nothing more.

It is not about impacting on the school curriculum and endangering children, or impacting on freedom of speech or religious freedom as promoted by them.

Those who seek marriage equality do not want to take over the world, or impose their life choices onto others.

They do not want to change the way that heterosexual couples choose to live!

They do not want to undermine churches and religions! They do not want to be ‘weaponised’!

They do not want radical gay sex education for children!

This is all total nonsense!

Please, let's have some common sense about this issue.

Plastic bag ban

The ban on single use plastic bags introduced by the Palaszczuk government is welcome. In July 2013, the previous environment minister Andrew Powell said he was considering a ban on plastic bags.

Within 24 hours Mr Powell confirmed he had changed his mind and was “forced to issue a retraction”, according to newspaper reports at the time.

The headline read “Newman Government backflips over plastic bag plan”. Mr Powell was overruled by Campbell Newman who had been speaking at a conservative breakfast. Mr Powell is weak on environmental matters.

He continues to oppose sensible tree clearing laws that protect native flora and fauna. What is astonishing is that Mr Powell now claims credit for the plastic bag ban while he is in opposition!

Peter Driscoll Eudlo

Cost to state continues Andrew Powell’s appalling legacy from his term as Campbell Newman’s Environment Minister continues to cost Queensland.

Under his watch, Queensland’s tree clearing laws were dismantled and the bulldozers unleashed back in 2013.

The annual Statewide Landcover and Trees Study (SLATS) report, released last week, shows the rate of tree clearing in Queensland has skyrocketed, reaching an alarming rate of 395,000 hectares per year in 2015-16.

The 2015-16 SLATS report also showed the rate of tree-clearing in the Great Barrier Reef catchments had soared by almost 50% since 2012-2013.

To put it into plain language, that’s more than 1000 footy fields cleared every day.

This outrageous level of land clearing has to stop.

It’s driving our native wildlife to extinction, risking the tens of thousands of jobs reliant on the Great Barrier Reef, and driving up Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Labor introduced strong, sensible tree clearing laws to parliament in 2016 but the LNP, including the member for Glass House, voted them down.

Queensland now finds itself with the worst deforestation record in the developed world, up there with regions such as the Amazon, Congo and Borneo.

Andrew Powell should be ashamed his actions have produced these devastating results.

Labor will take new tree clearing laws to the next election but will only get these laws through with an operating majority in parliament. We must win seats such as Glass House to make this happen.

I encourage local residents to have their voices heard by joining the 450 people who have already signed my petition to protect our bushland. You can find the petition at protectourbushland.com.

Brent Hampstead Labor Candidate for Glass House Dual citizenship

Re: Brian Stallworthy’s letter (GC&M News August 30): I just hope that common-sense reigns in the court cases against the politicians accused of being dual citizens, and that the powers that be don’t forget that nearly all of us either held passports or are descended from someone that did, as is my case.

I understand and accept that we are responsible for our actions, however I can understand how this could happen based on my own experience.

I was living overseas in 1999, and therefore had no idea of the events mentioned in B Stallworthy’s letter, while I kept track of Prime Ministers and some of the general news during that time, but it is impossible to be up-to-date on absolutely everything.

I guess this makes me ignorant, but I cannot, for the life of me, accept the negligent labelling.

Am I, and everyone else who would/could be in that situation, supposed to search for every law, by-law etc, that came into being while I/we were absent?

It seems that, according to Mr Stallworthy, I am very negligent, so I can’t even have the above as an excuse.

Beauty& Health&Wellbeing Wellbeing Local resident reaches 200th blood donation milestone At the end of last month, Glass House Mountains resident Peter Farrell gave his 200th blood donation. This incredible milestone marks a 50 year commitment to giving blood.

Working for David Jones in the late 1960s, staff members who donated blood during their lunchtime were allowed to take the afternoon off and so, as an 18 year old, Peter thought this was an excellent idea – little did he know he would still be donating half a century later. In his early twenties he was called up to join the army and served in Vietnam. Peter was then able to witness the invaluable benefits of these donations first hand as he could see injured soldiers helped by blood transfusions.

Acupuncture

His 200th donation was completed at the blood bank at Maroochydore on September 23 and the milestone was marked by staff members presenting Peter with a special celebratory cake and badge. A more formal presentation will be held early next year.

“I realised that giving blood was a way to do good for others and it can saves lives. I would definitely encourage anyone who is able to donate to do so,” said Peter.

If you have been inspired by Peter’s commitment to donating blood, then you might want to make a note in your diary for when the Red Cross Mobile Donor Centre will be in our area.

The good news is they will be visiting between Christmas and New Year, so you might already be on holidays at the time. They will be in Maleny, in the IGA carpark, on Boxing Day, Tuesday December 26 from 11.30am to 6pm and Wednesday December 27 from 8am to 2.30pm.

Then they head to Beerwah’s Simpson Street on Thursday December 28 from 11.30am - 6.00pm and Friday December 29 from 8am - 1.00pm.

GC&M News will run a reminder of the dates, times and locations in the last edition of the year, so you don’t forget!

Great Cycle Challenge update

At the end of August, GC&M News shared the story about local sports physiologist Georgia Holliday gearing up to participate in the Great Cycle Challenge.

The challenge runs throughout the month of October and Georgia, from Beerwah Active Physio, has already raised over $1,100.

Within the first few days of month she has already ridden 58km towards her total pledge of 700km and smashed her initial goal of raising $700.

All funds raised will go to the Children’s Medical Research Institute with a focus on research, prevention and treatment of children’s cancer.

If you would like to support Georgia in her fundraising venture, you can do so online by visiting https://greatcyclechallenge.com.au/ and searching ‘Georgia Holliday’. All donations are tax deductible. Online sponsors will be immediately issued a tax receipt via email.

Alternatively, anyone who would like to help out but is not tech savvy can make cash donations at Beerwah Active Physio located at 17 Turner Street, Beerwah and cash donors can request a receipt directly from Georgia.

MCF Art workshops at Landsborough

Grab the chance to interact with local Hinterland artists at a series of low cost or free workshops at Landsborough School of Arts Memorial Hall.

On Friday October 20, artist Glenis Gray will facilitate ‘Layers of Meaning’, a full day workshop which will lead participants on an introductory journey into exploring text and collage to create a uniquely personal artwork ($20, ages 10+). Using personal photos and other reference materials to initiate memories, participants will develop ideas on canvas and take a finished artwork home with them and inspiration for more ‘meaningful’ works.

Join Peter Hughes on Saturday October 21 (for children under 10) and on Sunday November 5 (adults) for free half day workshops exploring ‘Connecting with Country’. Peter will share with participants what inspires him and how to look for inspiration in found natural materials. Through these engaging workshops, Peter will seek to share his artistic insights and inspire participants to connect, feel and observe the country around them.

On Sunday October 22 (children under 10) and Saturday November 4 (adults), Cholena Drew Hughes will guide attendees on the process of making ‘sun prints’ (cost $10) in half day sessions. Creating sun prints can be fun and magical to experience and each attendee will be able to expose natural materials (leaves, feathers, flowers, etc) onto primed paper to create beautiful pieces which will change colour from a dull green to a rich Prussian blue. Places are limited. For bookings please contact Michele at reddoorart@bigpond.com.

A Splash of Colour

Vivid, vibrant and moving is certainly what ‘A Splash of Colour’ exhibition by Bob Maas and Jacky Gibson (pictured below) is all about.

The works almost jump off the wall to greet you as you walk into Vianta in Beerwah! This collaboration between the two artists is an electric welcome to spring, and the colour and excitement that this season brings with it.

Bob Maas has always been keen on artwork and showed talent from a young age. His grandfather was an artist and an uncle who lives in Spain is a professional artist. Bob’s talent in art is a great strength and outlet for his creativity.

Jacky Gibson studied art through high school and developed a real love of it there. After leaving school she studied Radiography in London and had many opportunities to visit major galleries and learned much from these sorties. As a student, painting time was limited but she purchased a set of oil paints and began her lifelong love affair with this medium.

However, it wasn't until she retired that she was able to satisfy her passion fully.

A Splash of Colour will be on exhibition at Vianta, 70 Simpson Street, Beerwah, until October 28. For information on hanging an exhibition at Vianta, email Michele at reddoorart@bigpond.com or call/ text on 0412 936 361.

ElectedRepresentatives Andrew Wallace

Federal Member for Fisher Christmas Card Competition

From our unique Glass House Mountains to our stunning beaches, the Sunshine Coast is packed with beautiful views and gorgeous scenery. I want to showcase our region on my Christmas card this year. If you live in Fisher and have a great image of our region then please enter my competition by uploading the photo to Instagram with the hashtag #photosoffisher and the location it was taken, or by emailing it to andrew.wallace.mp@aph.gov. au with the subject line ‘Photos of Fisher’. Entries must be received by Friday October 27.

The winning image will be featured as the front cover of my 2017 Christmas card and will be printed on canvas and hung in my office in the Australian Parliament House in Canberra. The winning photographer will also receive a $100 gift voucher for a local business. I will feature the submitted photos on my special Instagram page @photosoffisher, and I will be selecting a winner on October 30. The full details as well as terms and conditions are available on my website – search for #photosofFisher at the URL below. So get involved and help me show off the best the Sunshine Coast has to offer!

The Prime Minister on the Sunshine Coast!

I have been encouraging Malcolm Turnbull to visit us on the Sunshine Coast for more than a year and I was therefore proud and delighted to welcome him here last month. I took the PM to Caloundra RSL to talk informally to 300 Sunshine Coasters in a ‘Politics in the Pub’ event, which was a great success. Many people had the opportunity to meet the PM and to ask him a question in a wide ranging discussion. During his time here I think Malcolm Turnbull demonstrated not only that he is a personable bloke and a highly intelligent leader, but also that he gets it.

I saw how the PM listens carefully to people that he meets, and surrounds himself with a fantastic team, to ensure that the government delivers for the Sunshine Coast and for all Australians. I want to say thank you to everyone who attended that event. During his visit the PM also joined me at the site of the $929 million Bruce Highway upgrade currently underway at Caloundra Road.

We viewed the worksite and met some of the workers who are making the improved road a reality. The PM visited a number of works on the Bruce Highway during the week and showed his strong personal commitment to getting the infrastructure we need in Queensland.

The Sunshine Coast has powerful allies in the Prime Minister and the Minister for Infrastructure Darren Chester in getting the road and rail upgrades that we deserve. I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future to deliver even more for the Coast.

Andrew Powell

State Member for Glass House Container Refund Scheme forum

The Queensland Government has announced a Container Refund Scheme (CRS) and a plastic bag ban for Queensland, both due to start in July 2018. These measures will help to tackle plastic pollution and improve recycling and I want to ensure the Glass House electorate is fully prepared.

As an individual, local community group or local business, it is important for you to understand how these changes may affect the way you operate and what you can do to prepare.

The CRS presents a significant financial opportunity for the not-for-profit sector and local businesses to be involved, offering a way to secure a long term and sustainable revenue base through the collection and return of cans and bottles. Under the bag ban, lightweight shopping bags will no longer be available, and businesses will need to provide alternative solutions for customers.

To help you prepare I will be hosting an evening forum on Thursday October 19 from 5.30pm - 7pm at Glass House Mountains Sports Club, 902 Steve Irwin Way, Glass House Mountains.

The forum will give you the opportunity to consider the value and potential of your involvement in the CRS, and to jointly discuss and plan arrangements on how local organisations can participate, either individually or in partnership with each other.

The Boomerang Alliance, who have been instrumental in the design of the CRS and bag ban, will be there to present and answer any questions you may have.

If you would like to attend, please RSVP to kellie.lindsay@boomerangalliance.org.au by Wednesday October 18. I hope to see you there.

‘Buy Local’ policy

I’m a big fan of small businesses in Glass House and that’s why I’m excited that the LNP’s ‘Buy Local’ procurement policy will produce more local jobs, cut 20% of red tape for businesses to tender for work, and ensure value for money for Queensland taxpayers.

I want to see more local jobs in Glass House and our policy will deliver. Buy Local will give local businesses a real hand up, not a hand out, and create more local jobs. On Government projects under $100 million, whether that’s desks for a school or building a new road, only true Queensland firms will be given a price match guarantee.

If a local business that’s headquartered in Queensland and has a workforce in the project area matches the lowest bid – they’ll get the job. Buy Local covers 99% of small to medium local businesses in Queensland employing less than 200 staff.

This policy is about creating more local jobs and the LNP’s Buy Local attitude will put Queensland jobs, businesses and taxpayers first.

Division 5 - Sunshine Coast Mooloolah breakfast meeting Dozens turned up at this recent meeting to further discuss the lack of services within the Mooloolah Valley. Telstra representatives attended with apologies from NBN as they felt that they could not provide further information. Signage for Mooloolah from the Steve Irwin Way is again on the agenda. Visit Sunshine Coast will be invited to the next breakfast meeting to assist. Without signage, so many may be missing much that is on offer in the Mooloolah Valley.

Car park resealed at Eudlo State School

Parents and students have returned to the final term of the school year to find a newly resealed carpark as part of council’s Road Reseal Program. Works were carried out during the school holiday break.

Snapshot of the Sixties

The Palmwoods Memorial Hall Association is hosting a Snapshot of the Sixties later this month.

Come along to Palmwoods Memorial Hall on Sunday October 29 at 2pm for a country style afternoon tea and the screening of Strictly Ballroom!

Flaxton Mill Road bamboo

I have recently had an enquiry regarding bamboo and walkway concerns on Flaxton Mill Road, in Flaxton and there is work scheduled for hazards associated with the bamboo. The bamboo itself was stressed and in poor health due to the prolonged dry weather we have experienced lately and has abnormally excessive leaf drop.

After the recent rain, it is highly likely to recover and very quickly. Works will be scheduled over the next month and will be treated delicately as with previous requests; with minor pruning completed and as little as possible as to not cause community concern.

Join in the fun of Palmwoods Village Harvest

Sensational dinners, pop-up lunches, exhibitions by local artists and incredible workshops are just some of the offerings springing up as part of the Palmwoods Village Harvest program in Palmwoods.

I’m proud to have supported the event with more than $10,000 divisional funding, which will see an array of events held across a range of venues in Palmwoods throughout October showcasing the very best of Palmwoods’ local hospitality, arts and crafts.

This proactive, positive initiative developed by a community events committee is a great example of community and council working together to celebrate the people, places and talents of the Palmwoods community and also to help support local businesses while the Palmwoods Streetscape Project is under construction. I encourage everyone to come along and get involved with this wonderful event, and discover some of the Hinterland’s hidden gems in Palmwoods.

Home & Backyard The insurance risks with DIY Renovation television programs have inspired a new generation of enthusiastic DIY renovators who may be unaware of the risks.

A Suncorp Insurance spokesperson said many insurance policies will not cover damage to property if it’s related to poor workmanship.

“Additionally, home owners are not covered if they have carried out renovations to their home which do not comply with building laws or regulations,” Suncorp’s Head of Property Claims

maleny

and Repair Donna Stewart said.

“Poor or unregulated DIY work can also have disastrous effects. Suncorp has seen many cases where amateur renovators have built their own verandas, pergolas or carports, only to see their insurance declined because of a number of issues.

“Some of the claims declined relate to decking and awnings installed by customers who used incorrect materials that did not withstand weather conditions.

“In one case, the home owner proudly added a verandah, which promptly collapsed when a storm hit a few weeks later. The veranda proved to be substandard and the insurance claim was declined.

“Turning garages into habitable rooms is popular among weekend renovators and equally fraught with potential traps,” Ms Stewart said.

“Some may decide to convert their basements into a liveable space and may not consider appropriate heights, or the drainage and flooring type. For example, they may lay down laminated timber flooring on to a concrete slab without proper waterproofing. Because of subsequent seepage into the sub-floor rooms, insurance claims are likely to be declined.

“One of the biggest mistakes Weekend Warriors make is when joining extensions to the main house. If done incorrectly, this can result in water seepage into the home.

“A number of Weekend Warriors feel the need to renovate their kitchens with equally disastrous results.”

Common mistakes include installing splashbacks, which are not sealed, and water filters being installed incorrectly.

Ms Stewart cited one case where a house was destroyed by fire following the occupant installing a wood heater incorrectly. This caused a fire in the wall cavity. It also turned out that the installation required a permit, but this was not obtained. The claim was subsequently declined.

“Even a touch of home painting can prove disastrous with paint spilling on expensive carpet.

Some insurance policies do cover accidental damage but people need to check their policies,” she said.

“However, there are also many DIY efforts which are carried out properly and are not liable to have any negative effect on claims. DIY supporters just need to make sure their work is of an appropriate professional level and in line with regulations, or simply call an expert.”

Using the latest in Nanotechnology, Stegbar is launching a new shower screen that requires no harsh chemicals to clean it, making it ideal for residents in Australia’s rural areas that are on a septic tank waste system.

The Nanoclean Shower Screen has a coating that bonds with glass and forms an invisible protective barrier that minimises dirt and grime build up, reducing cleaning time by up to 90%.

To keep the shower screen clean, a quick wipe down with a microfibre cloth once a week is all that’s needed.

“The Nanoclean Shower Screen makes a much-hated household chore easier and quicker – there’s no need for hard scrubbing, a simple wipe and you’re done,” says Stegbar’s National Marketing Manager, Christine Evans.

“It’s a great solution for homeowners in rural areas of Australia because there are no harsh cleaning chemicals going through the septic and upsetting the bacterial balance in the system.”

The Nanoclean coating helps prevent glass corrosion and damaging lime deposits. It’s abrasion resistant, so it won’t wear down or rub off, and chemical resistant, repelling both oil-based and water-based substances. As there’s no need for harsh cleaning chemicals, it’s better for the environment.

The coating is also UV stable and won’t change colour, so the shower screen will stay clear, bright and sparkling.

In theGarden Dust up in the garden Garden soil is just a mixture of organic matter (compost, humus, soil organisms, water) and inorganic matter.

The inorganic matter is the end result of a long process of weathering and breakdown of rocks and minerals into smaller particles – sand, silt,

clay for example.

The organic component of soil is always being rapidly broken down and is something we must continually replenish. We add composts, manures, green waste, green crops, mulch and kitchen scraps.

But the inorganic parts are things we tend to neglect. Sure, we add sand if the soil needs loosening up, but that’s about the extent of our considerations.

But it shouldn’t be that way. The inorganic components of the soil continue to breakdown just as the organics do – albeit at a much slower rate. And over time the balance of sand, silt and clay can get out of whack or the soil can lose its capacity to provide vital inorganic trace elements.

That’s where rock minerals come into the picture.

Contrary to what you’d think, the commercial products are just crusher dust or pulverised granite.

A good commercial rock mineral product is a blend of a range of rocks and minerals – and some are even inoculated with soil microbes too.

Common minerals you’ll find in the products are potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, boron molybdenum, copper, sulphur, phosphorus, silica, and more.

They’ll also have soil conditioning compounds and clays like bentonite, zeolite and gypsum.

To make it easier to handle, the powdered minerals and rocks are reconstituted into clusters or balls called ‘prills’.

But what does this rock mineral stuff actually do?

Well, it has a twofold benefit.

Firstly, it provides a slow release source of all those elements that your plants need to grow healthily and happily. They’re not in a water soluble form, so they won’t wash away in the first big downpour.

And because of the slow release action, you can’t overdose the soil like you can with other fertilising products and cause toxicity to the plants and organisms.

Secondly, they provide the perfect environment for your soil microbes to flourish. And in reality, your soil health and vitality is all down to having healthy microbes. Adding a sprinkle to your worm farm is a great idea too.

An added benefit is that the soil structure will be improved meaning that the soil will have a better capacity to absorb and hold water.

But don’t think of it as an all-in-one fertiliser. Your plants will still need a ready supply of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in a form which is easily absorbed by the plant roots.

So keep up the manuring, composting and fertilising regimes... just supplement it with a twice a year dosing of rock minerals too.

Introducing the new gun sales team motivated to succeed First National Beerwah Sales and Marketing Consultant Dan Clarke has gone from strength to strength since starting his career in real estate four years ago, and his passion for people and the industry he works in is infectious.

Dan started out as a sales associate of Licensee Aaron Peckitt and quickly learned the ropes under the expert guidance of Aaron who is also a highly skilled multi award winning agent. He soon discovered that his natural affinity with people, his passion to grow professionally and his drive to achieve results for his clients meant that Dan had all the qualities best suited to a successful career in real estate. Encouraged

by Aaron, two years ago he branched out and became a fully commissioned agent and has never looked back since!

In his first year as a commissioned agent, the married father of two took out the coveted and prestigious ‘First National Queensland Rookie of the Year Award’. In just an eight month period he achieved incredible sales worth $7.9 million dollars for the local office.

Since then Dan has had multiple area records from Glenview and Mooloolah Valley to Beerburrum. The Beerwah local is keen to support others and is involved with local charities and organisations. He genuinely loves the region and envisages incredible growth for the area.

Dan has gotten so busy this year that the decision was made to employ sales professional Jamie Bayliss as an associate to Dan. With an average of 10 sales a month, Dan was finding that there were not enough hours in the day to give buyers the full attention to detail and service they required, so Jamie’s job will be to totally focus on offering buyers the service, advice and time they need – allowing Dan to concentrate on listing and vendor management. Together Dan and Jamie make a professional and impressive team dedicated to results, while still maintaining a down to earth ‘country style’ attitude.

Business feature

68 Simpson Street Beerwah www.beerwahrealestate.com.au 36

In the last seven months, Dan and Jamie have been the number one sales team in the area achieving $27.6 million worth of sales.

Jamie comes from a background in prestige motorbike sales and mining, and brings an already strong skill set of sales and negotiations to his role assisting Dan. The father of two enjoys meeting different people and is highly motivated to succeed. He enjoys the challenge of the industry and the chance to interact with a wide variety of people. He also loves finding the right property lead for his buyers and gets satisfaction from providing an excellent follow up service that has already seen fantastic results.

Good real estate agents focus on their relationships with their team, their clients and their community and both Dan and Jamie are committed to their profession and believe in accountability in achieving the best results possible – every time!

Rounding off an amazing year for Dan, he has also added author to his list of talents. Fresh off the press is his new book titled ‘Selling for More,’ something he wanted to produce to assist everyone to make the most of one of their biggest assets. If you would like a copy, please call Dan or Jamie, call into the Beerwah office or go to the website www.teamdanclarke.com.au and follow the prompts.

Flying high for school chaplaincy

Contributed by Lyn Miller BHS Chaplaincy Chairperson Beerwah High Chappy Committee is holding a fantastic family ‘flying high’ raffle as a super fundraiser for our hard-working Chappy Mike in his care of our school community.

The major raffle prize is a Hawkeye video and image recording remote controlled helicopter... plus goodies for the family.

Tickets are $2 and are available from Chappy Mike at Beerwah High School as well as outside Woolies at the Beerwah Marketplace this Friday and Saturday, October 13 and 14, and at the Beerwah Street Party on Friday October 20. The raffle will be drawn at the Street Party at 8pm.

The committee is grateful for the continuing support from our local community and looks forward to your support again for this fundraiser.

Sunshine Coast Arts And Crafts is having a Craft Fair on Saturday and Sunday October 28 and 29 from 9am to 4pm at Montville Village Hall on Main Street, Montville. It will feature beautiful 100% locally handmade craft goods, such as handbags, children's and adults’ clothing, pottery, jewellery, jams and spreads, knitted goods and so much more. It is also at the perfect time of the year to look for that amazing and unique Christmas gift. Entry is free and there will also be refreshments available such as tea, coffee, cakes, slices and sandwiches.

From the churches A phone call

Kel (not his real name) called me recently.

Living 400km away down a long lonely road in a remote part of Queensland, Kel needed a chat.

As teenagers we were friends. I was studying while Kel became proficient with the guitar. We both married and as happens, we moved away from each other.

Then 50 years later we accidentally get to meet again, on the long lonely road near the house he lives in.

Both older men, we now chat on the phone every year or so. We catch up on what is new in our lives, and that includes the health issues which plague us as we age.

There’s plenty of talk about painful joints, restricted physical abilities, and of course how the beat up old 4WD on that remote property is struggling to come to life again. Kel is so proud of his ability to patch it up after months with a failed engine.

But the main driver of the call from Kel on this day is the news that a mentor to both of us, Doug (not his real name either), is struggling with his health in his middle eighties.

We reminisce about the good times with Doug and the great music he and Kel created with their guitars at church gatherings.

Then he tells me he is a grandfather again with his daughter just giving birth. A bloke has got to tell his mates. But then he tells me I am one of few he can call. Living with few personal contacts in his remoteness, and having lost friends to the grim reaper, Kel is experiencing what so many older Australians do, a sense of isolation and loneliness.

Currently I am reading in the Bible Paul's letter written to the Galatians. Paul takes great care in his introductory and closing paragraphs to make sure everyone in the town is included in his greetings.

Sometimes it behooves us to make sure the lonely and isolated are part of our daily greeting. What a difference it can make in their lives; and ours too!

Doug was pleased to receive my call too.

Contributed by Brenda Briese Rain, glorious rain at last! So lovely to hear on the roof. And how quickly the grass turns green.

Got to love nature!! Now there's talk of Christmas, hard to believe. Anyway on to the important matters.

Saturday September 30 was a Stableford game with 19 players. The scores were stunning (well, for some). The winner was Fay Barry with 43 pts, runner up was Andrea Campbell 42 pts (off 10 handicap). All four Pin Shots were won by Andrea Campbell. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Well done, Andrea.

Ball run down went to 37 pts. Birdie Box on 17 was won by Vanessa Aland.

Thursday October 5 we played a Monthly Medal with 46 players (fields still very small): A Grade winner Cathy Stone 72 nett, Runner up Andrea Campbell 75 Nett. B Grade winner Sharon Phillips 73 nett, runner up was Fay Barry 74 nett. C Grade winner was Gail Hancock 71 nett, runner up Joan Swyny 73 nett and gross winners were: A Grade Sonia Kenway 86, B Grade Lesley Eggleston 95, C Grade Kathy Moffat 104. Pin Shots: (2) Lesley Eggleston, (5) Gail Gundry, (16) and (18) Cathy Stone. Putting: Debra Carlton 26 putts. Ball rundown went to 76 nett. Looking forward to some follow up rain and increasing number of ladies playing. Visitors are always welcome to play in our competitions.

The Range Croquet Club Contributed by Ken Barker On the weekend that formed the cusp of September and October, Ken Barker and Donna Manning played in the Windsor Cup at the Windsor Club in Brisbane. Donna brought honour to the club by winning division C with 5 won games out of 6. Congratulations, Donna. Ken could only win one from 5 in division B. Les Watson won division A. Cynthia Tacey won division B. Sunday saw Helen Andrews and Nick Cram match wits with Robert Elliot, with the pair winning a close encounter 12-10. Blackall Range Group arrived to a refreshed lawn on Tuesday – the first group to take advantage of the good rain on Sunday and Monday. To all accounts it was a good morning.

On Thursday Nick Cram and Sally Adams 7 were overpowered by Kath Smith and Helen Andrews 20. Kath played well to peg out.

Croquet is a game where, unlike life, it is a good thing to peg out. It means that you have achieved the maximum score.

Junior cricket rocked Contributed by Leanne McAllister The new Junior Cricket season has been declared a success, with Glasshouse Districts Cricket Club hosting the first round of the Milo T20 Blast competition on Friday night under lights.

Three Glasshouse teams, along with teams from Caloundra, Landsborough and Maleny clubs, scored lots of runs and took wickets with music pumping in the background just like their Big Bash idols!

Glasshouse U11s: 5/116 def Caboolture Maroon 5/67, played at Caboolture.

Glasshouse U14s: 4/124 def by Tewantin Noosa Storm 6/163, played at Glasshouse.

Witta Tennis Contributed by Pauline Fraley Witta Wagtails had a home game against Kawana Slammers. The Wagtails came out firing, but half way through the Slammers fought back and came out winners on the day.

A thoroughly enjoyable day of tennis. Thanks to the Wagtails team Gerry, Claire, Sonia and Eunice.

In extremely hot conditions the Wildcats fought it out against Nambour ZTA Novas. It was always going to be close but unfortunately due to an injury one of the ZTA players had to pull out. Pauline, Annie, Libby and Stacey came home with the win 5-3 sets, 41-20 games.

Whistlers played at Witta against Ballinger Breezers. After the two weeks off we were glad to be back and playing but it was hot and we suffered from the heat. Great games with lots of rallies and deuces, and we were exhausted by the last games. We had a win but had enough for the day. Score was 42-33 games, 5-3 sets. Team was Liz Mellish, Brenda Warner, Donna Kuskopf and Aki Lepper.

The Witta Wompoos defeated the Nambour Div 2 team at Witta on Sunday by 7 sets and 61 games to 5 sets and 44 games. It was touch and go for most of the afternoon but the Wompoos finally roared down the last stretch with a couple of very solid mixed results to seal a convincing victory. One more scheduled match to play before the finals where we expect to take on the leaders Gympie at Nambour.

In a prelim to the finals the Wikings hosted Nambas Menaces. It was even right up to the last two sets where the Menaces pulled away, just. Final score 5-7 sets 48-52 games. The Wikings will play the Menaces in November in the Div 3 finals. Thanks to Greg Gledhill for assisting regulars, No John, Big Kev, No Knees, Stacey and Pauline.

The Witta Tennis Golf Challenge is on at Maleny Golf Club, Sunday October 22, 7am Tee Off. Cost is $30 to Witta Tennis (includes smoko snags and a barbeque lunch).

Beerwah Golf Club Contributed by Roger Bonhomme Men's and medley results “Shooting your age” is a tough challenge faced by golfers in their 70s. It requires completing a round of 18 holes in the same or less number of strokes than your age. Kevin Norton achieved this milestone recently. Two months after his 75th birthday he fired a 75 off the stick (45 points) to win the September 30 A grade Stableford event. A week earlier, John Runge scored 77 to miss by one. Kevin's success secret? “Perseverance,” he said.

A grade runner up was John Wuersching on 42. In B grade three players tied on 40 points.

After countbacks, Richard Rees won from Gary Stockwell and Ted Hope. Les Ramage scored 42 points to win C grade from Heinz Kleiner and Justin Neubecker on 41. Heinz won the countback – good to see Heinz take a trophy at long last.

NTPs: 2 - Les Ramage, 5 - Phil Siegle, 16 Trevor Brimelow, 18 - Keith Lynam.

In last Wednesday's medley Stableford event, three players tied at the top of A grade on 39 points. Corey Wallyn was king of the countback followed by fast improving Murray Hall and perpetual practiser Rusty Tillyard.

Moss Thistlewaite played a solid, consistent round in B grade to come out on top with 39 points. Richard Rees was second a point behind (his second major placing in the last two competitions). Third place went to Bill James (37) on countback from Terry Lawlor (Headland) and Justin Neubecker.

C graders showed how the game should be played - the top 11 all scored 40 points or more. Robert Goymer headed the list on 44. A point behind was Brian Morrissey with Brian Coyle third on 42 after a countback with Dennis McQuillan (Bay Islands).

NTPs: 2 - Ray Lloyd, 5 - Murray Hall, 16 Geoff Williamson, 18 - Lea Garner.

October's monthly medal was held on Saturday with Phil Siegle taking out a hotly contested A grade on 68 nett. Three 69s followed with Paul Stewart (welcome back, Paul) winning the countback from Col Penney and Luke Doyle.

Royce Ginnivan won B grade on 67 followed

by Tony Mraz (69) winning the countback from Graham Ash. Trevor Sanderson took out C grade with a 71 beating Kev Reynolds 72.

George Walter and Col Baker missed second place by the countback.

NTPs: 2 - Geoff Broadstock, 5 - Murray Elks, 16 - Les Ramage, 18 - Andrew Christie (Riverside Oaks).

Just for Laughs

GC&MNews Crossword 613 1

Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert after crossing into the United States, wandering aimlessly and starving. They are about to just lie down and wait for death, when all of a sudden Luis says, "Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell? Ees bacon, I theenk."

"Yes, Luis, eet sure smells like bacon."

With renewed hope they struggle up the next sand dune and there, in the distance, is a tree loaded with bacon.

There's raw bacon, there's fried bacon, back bacon, double smoked bacon, every imaginable kind of cured pork.

"Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved. Ees a bacon tree.”

"Luis, maybe ees a meerage? We ees in the desert don't forget."

ARIES March 21 - April 20 This week Jupiter has started its twelve months run into Scorpio. You will be pleased to know it will be in your sector of sharing monies with your partners, or your associates. Generally Jupiter is considered lucky, as well as expansive, so there is a super potential for positive events that increase your funds, especially in all partnerships.

TAURUS April 21 - May 22 Mid-month, with the optimistic Jupiter planet entering Scorpio, and this week joined by Mercury and the Sun, you should make commitments to strengthen your love bonds between self and partner. The only interference to happy romantic partnerships will be a spoilt child, so stay centred. A new work assignment comes up now.

GEMINI May 23 - June 21 Big decisions that facilitate a fresh new start could light up your life this week. A brother or sister may be involved and maybe you have something really important to say. There is good news in that bountiful, positive-looking Jupiter will throw love vibes your way. Jupiter is ready to give expansive activity and put you in a position of authority.

CANCER June 22 - July 22 A great monetary opportunity, perhaps a golden new start, could be offered or created.

The message to you is to find your inner fire, your passion and see if you can make money from it. Follow your heart to build a new career as Jupiter moves into a compatible water sign, Scorpio, to yours. There is much social contact.

Week Beginning 11/10/17

"Pepe, since when deed you ever hear of a meerage that smell like bacon... ees no meerage, ees a bacon tree."

And with that, Luis staggers towards the tree. He gets to within five metres, Pepe crawling close behind, when suddenly a machine gun opens up, and Luis drops like a wet sock.

Mortally wounded, he warns Pepe with his dying breath, "Pepe... Go back man, you was right, ees not a bacon tree!"

"Luis, Luis mi amigo... what ees it?"

"Pepe.. Ees not a bacon tree. Ees Ees Ees Ees Ees a ham bush..."

VIRGO August 23 - September 22 As Jupiter moves into Scorpio and your communication sector, it will be joined by Mercury on the 17th, and the Sun on the 23rd. This means you become a detective extraordinaire and you enjoy your perfection in your love of details. Paperwork with people, possibly regarding an inheritance, arrives. Make sure you get value for money.

LIBRA September 23 - October 22 You have a natural inclination to be congenial, however with Jupiter going into Scorpio do try to avoid letting your ego add to any tensions. It is time to recover from any recent shocks to your system and maybe you can count on another person’s common sense. With Mercury and the Sun also entering Scorpio, your life is ready to change seriously.

SCORPIO October 23 - November 22 With Venus and Mars entering Libra around the 14th to the 22nd, it is time to clear the decks for new action and wonderful opportunities should arrive from the 10th with Jupiter boosting your energy into Scorpio.

Dental Excel - caring for the Hinterland community for over 20 yrs Dr Shirly Atia The Dental Excel practice is pleased to introduce our newest dentist Dr Shirly Atia (BDS).

Dr Atia has recently relocated to the beautiful Sunshine Coast and will be working at all four practices which are located at Beerwah, Palmwoods, Wurtulla and Caloundra.

She spent her childhood in Canada and comes from an area that was both English and French speaking, meaning that Dr Atia is fluent in a couple of languages … so if you are interested, make sure you ask her what other languages she speaks when you have your treatments!

Dr Atia completed her Dental Hygiene Degree in Canada and worked as a dental hygienist for seven years prior to studying dentistry. Six years ago she decided to pursue her dream of becoming a dentist and moved to Australia to study dentistry along with her husband where they both welcomed their firstborn son Raphael.

She studied a Bachelor of Dental Surgery at James Cook University in Cairns where she also completed her general practice residency in Queensland Health providing dental care to indigenous communities.

She is extremely passionate about preventive dentistry but enjoys all areas of dentistry including fillings, crown and bridge, esthetic dentistry and root canals.

Dr Atia ensures our patients – both adults and children – receive the best possible treatment customised to their individual needs. She is also committed to providing high quality dentistry in a warm, gentle and welcoming environment.

Outside of work she enjoys outdoor activities and travelling with her husband and son, and feels extremely fortunate to be living and working in our beautiful region.
