Hi Everyone Here at GCNews Central – Glass House Mountains we are currently focused on all things renovation – and not just the continuing work we are doing on our renovation – but on our 2011 Renovation Guide.

We have had so much interest from advertisers to be a part of the publication that we have had to increase the size of it by eight pages to accommodate all the ads.

And yes the money man is happy about that – but this means we now need to find some additional stories – so I am putting the call out for anyone who we may be able to write about – or at least could give us some tips on the lessons they learnt while renovating?

Or have you recently undertaken a renovation and have some excellent ‘Oh my god’ before photos that can be used in stark contrast to the ‘absolutely wow’ after photos?

If you have stories and photos you’d like to share with our readers you can email me at editorial@gcnews. com.au We will also be including information about recycling old building materials and what sort of environmentally sound initiatives you can include into your next project.

However, after watching a couple of episodes of the Block on the TV, I think we should maybe be including some advice on conflict resolution, stress management, time and project management and if none of that works, couples counselling for when it is all over.

Regards,

The former Coochin Creek Rural Fire Brigade has had a recent name change and is now badged as Beerwah Rural Fire Brigade.

According to First Officer, Lou Spann, the name is all that has changed, the reason being to better reflect the population base.

“For us it is ‘business as usual’ and an opportunity to register our appreciation for the continued business and community support shown to the brigade, notably the volunteer commitment,” he said.

“Given we cover a large area, 200 square kilometres in fact, up to Sippy Downs out to Bellvista and Golden Beach, Pelican Waters and through to the back of Beerburrum, we are dependent on people power.

“While we have an 18 strong team, we are calling interested parties to register with us so we can have 25 trained volunteers in order to run two shifts and the four trucks in our fleet. We also require support people for behind the scenes.

“It is all about being prepared and as we are coming up to the wildfire season, which can range anywhere between September and February, we are mindful we have had a big growing season with all the rain over the last two and a half years; that has created a heap of fuel, so it is essential to always be at the ready,” said Lou. “Anybody over the age of 16 years and in reasonably good health is eligible to register for

full training which is all free and naturally we provide all the protective gear.

“You don’t need to have a truck licence but certainly if you are wishing to obtain one, we can assist with this.

“We provide hands-on training and our four vehicles include a tanker, a medium appliance and two trucks.

“Our tanker is a full fire-fighting vehicle and our ‘51’ is a medium appliance; our work encompasses rural and highway fires,” he said.

“There’s tremendous satisfaction to be found in the community work and team effort and I’ll be keeping people informed about our open day coming up in a couple of months at the station, which is located 1.5 kilometres down Roys Road from the Big Mower in the big red shed - you can’t miss us.”

Holly Aston Holly will be conducting a survey outside Woolworths Beerwah on July 19 from 3.00pm for feedback from the general community about ways they connect with the community, what would help them connect with the community and what would make Beerwah a better place to live. The information will be discussed at the Workshop. If you would like your views to make a difference be sure to stop and talk to Holly.

If you would like to attend the Workshop itself an RSVP by August 1 is required. Please contact Holly on phone 0407 165 308 or email hcdworker.holly@gmail.com

“The aim of the workshop is to get all the movers and shakers in Beerwah in one place so we can talk about what we all do,” said Holly Aston, Community Development Officer for Hinterland Community Development Association said.

“There’s a lot of different things that happen in Beerwah, and lots of different people doing great stuff, but a lot of the time we don’t know what each other is doing, so this an opportunity for us to get to know each other, to support what each other does. It may mean that we can work together in the future.

“It’s a great opportunity for Council, business, community groups, schools and other interested residents to get together in the one spot. People who are passionate about the community and want to get involved are certainly welcome,” she said.

One outcome hoped to be achieved at the Workshop is the setting up of a website for groups and organisations to register various events so that clashing of dates can be avoided.

Local inventor ‘Putting’ golfers first If you have a golfer in the family, there will be one thing on the top of their Christmas wish list this year, a Pro-1 Putting Green.

Inventor Faruk Buzaki, from Glass House Mountains and a keen golfer himself, first had the idea about five years ago.

“There’s no way you can get a putting green in your backyard, so you can practice putting like at the golf course, without tearing up your whole yard and spending lots and lots of money,” Faruk said.

“I thought how can I make a putting green for my backyard, or anyone else’s backyard, that you just walk it in and drop it on the ground? I’ve got friends who are mad keen golfers and they said, yeah it would be good to have something like that and it just went from there,” he said.

It’s taken just one year for Faruk to get serious about the idea and turn the putting green into a reality.

Faruk and Catherine Buzaki

“The process is tedious,” he said, “it’s a lot of R and D, research and development. Mostly getting the turf right, getting exactly the right turf was the big key, so it plays like a real golf green. Everyone that sees it just loves it.”

That’s probably because of the many advantages of the Pro-1. At 4.8 x 2.5 wide it is available with one or two holes, is great for chipping practice as well as putting, it doesn’t need mowing, and it can be mowed and whipper-snipped around. You can put in on grass, concrete, the patio or wherever you like. It’s also easy to install in just 30 minutes, you can put contours underneath to change the shape and there’s no maintenance.

It took a lot of design work for Faruk to perfect the product.

“I’ve got an engineering background and that helped. It is one thing to have the idea; the other one is to design it in such a way that you can produce it at a low cost. An engineering background helped to do that,” he said.

The first public release of the Pro-1 Putting Green was at the recent Queensland Garden Expo at Nambour. If you missed seeing it they will also be at Farm Fantastic at Caboolture on July 15, 16 and 17.

“It’ll be good,” said Faruk. “My wife’s involved, and my two girls, they’re 14 and 16 and they’re really excited about it. It’ll be good for them to see how the whole business operates. The hard work’s done, that’s what I’m really happy about, now it’s just selling and getting it out there.”

Club Glasshouse it is

By Lea Parkes The former Beerwah RSL and Citizen’s Club held their first meeting last Tuesday night at their new Glass House Mountains premises with the main objective of the night to sort out their new name.

With 113 members attending on the night and voting on two possible names – the winner with a clear margin of 20 per cent was Club Glasshouse, the other contender was Glasshouse Country Club.

From comments I heard, quite a few members thought having Country Club in the title might have been misleading as visitors could arrive expecting a golf course and fancy trappings.

President Denis Steer did share with the members some detail about the current renovations that are being undertaken to the club which will see a new kitchen, a dining room and coffee shop as part of what the club will be able to offer.

Glass House Mountains SES, Group Leader Robert Barry receives a cheque from Denis Steer, President of Club Glasshouse However he did confirm that the committee will be following a safe and steady approach to any spending on the facilities, the club was happy on the night to also hand over a cheque to the Glass House Mountains SES for them to use in purchasing First Aid Dummies for training purposes.

Crookneck Retreat beckons Recently Brett Standring of Crookneck Retreat at Glass House Mountains was awarded a prize

by Sunshine Coast Destination Ltd for producing a video of the business which he uploaded to YouTube.

Earlier, Brett was a participant in a digital workshop called ‘Create your own video for YouTube’, in which participants learnt about shooting, editing, uploading, optimising and sharing video.

Following the workshop, participants put into practice what they had learnt and produced their own videos and posted them to YouTube.

Crookneck Retreat and Coolum Surf School videos were judged the most creative and were the two winners. Both received a professionally produced video package as a prize.

Visitors’ hosts at Crookneck Retreat are Brett and his wife, Megan.

“The workshop was well worth going to and I learnt not to be afraid of technology, but the value in using it." Brett said. We will be able to post video on our website and YouTube, providing more interactive and visual information for people. I definitely feel more confident producing video now.”

Beerwah’s 3.5 million boost Sunshine Coast Council recently announced it will spend $3.5 million on the township of Beerwah over the next four years, so we headed to Beerwah Marketplace to ask residents how they would like to see the funds spent.

2 1 1 Robert and Noela Jones, Peachester “We’re quite happy with everything actually.

Maybe lift the main street of Beerwah up a bit, brighten it up. And they need a footpath along Simpson Street into the shopping centre, people have to walk on the road,” said Robert.

“The new road, that’s not very appealing when you come off the roundabout and into the lights.

Also you’ve got to have something really good in Beerwah to keep young people here, like a roller skating centre or something like that,” said Noela.

2

Irene McKenzie, Beerwah “Transport; more trains and buses for people that don’t drive. More police, because of the children running around the streets at night time, it’s a big issue. We need security. A place to do x-rays, and more facilities for young people,” said Irene.

3 Lisa Wynne, Beerwah “Probably the school crossing at Beerwah Primary School, some traffic lights and some proper crossing ladies and men to the help the children get to and from school. I think that’s probably one of the biggest areas that needs looking at.

Generally, maybe turning the Turner Street, Simpson Street area into more of a pedestrian precinct, and more upkeep and equipment for Turner Park,” Lisa said.

Klement, Beerwah “I suppose road improvements and places where they’ve got bicycle lanes. I think what they should do is use our hall at the library more for the younger kids having dances in the night time or something like that, because there’s nothing here for them,” said Kurt.

6 Lorice Dean, Beerwah “The road fixed up properly between Landsborough and Beerwah on this side of the railway, it’s an eyesore. They just keep wasting money fixing it up with patches. They should make sure they’ve got a walkway between this side and that side to the railway so people don’t have to go up and down those stairs. And more seating for the public,” said Lorice. www.gcnews.com.au

Peachester State School entered the 2011 Glasshouse Rotary Sustainability competition. The competition encourages students to do things that save energy and make the school environment more sustainable.

The students, with the outstanding help from Dorothy Robb, Troy Pearce, and Jenny Martyr run the Enviro Club. The club has been busy this year expanding their Richmond Birdwing Butterfly Conservation Program with the construction of a Birdwing vine trellis, germinating vine seeds, planting new vines and removing weeds. The club has also reduced waste through its composting program, expanded the veggie garden and saved buckets of energy with the introduction of electricity panels.

Judging was completed at the Garden Expo.

Peachester State School won the Ambassador for Sustainability Award in the categories of

Biodiversity, Water and Recycling. Troy Pearce received the award on behalf of the students.

The environment is very important at our school and there are lots of people who have helped along the way; Louise Lewis and her family were fantastic helping to put up the students work at the Garden Expo display, Ray Seddon from the Richmond Birdwing Conservation Network, and Beverley Hand from Barung Landcare. Our thanks also go to Beerwah Recycling Centre, Moroney’s Landscape Supplies and Peachester Fruit Shop.

Finally, thanks to the Glasshouse Rotary Club for their massive effort at the Garden Expo.

Congratulations to Dorothy, Troy, Jenny and the Peachester students who have shone again.

Special family time at Beerwah Kindy Contributed by Nicole Godwin Term two has come and gone and the students at Beerwah Kindy got to share it all with important family members! One of the most anticipated events for the year was Grandparents’ Day. Grandparents came from near and far to explore the Kindy with their grandchildren and participate in selected activities. The children also cooked a cake to share with everyone for morning tea.

Before the visit, the children were asked to fill in a questionnaire with their grandparents to answer questions about ‘what it was like when they were young’. There were many comments coming home to parents about these discussions, for example “They didn’t even have ‘puters (computers) mummy!”

This term the fire brigade made a much loved visit to talk about fire safety. All the children were most excited to hear the siren, which was very loud, and to hold the fire hose with a fire fighter.

They also talked about some of the equipment they used and why they use it.

With over 100 students and more than 20 staff members involved, the show proved to be an entertaining showcase of the arts. There was a wide variety of acts including song, dance and instrumental performances interspersed with humorous skits.

Beerwah High students The opening number, ‘I’ve Got Rhythm’ demonstrated tap and stomping by fifty students, while the finale, ‘Rhythm of Life’ was a fitting and energetic conclusion to a great night.

A three course dinner was catered and served to 120 audience members

by Year 11 Hospitality students. During the meal, music was provided by a diverse range of artists including a jazz ensemble. The Art and Home Economics Departments worked collaboratively on the venue, decorating the foyer and tables using a red and silver cabaret theme.

Audience members were heard to say, “Beerwah High never does a bad show” and “It’s wonderful to see what our kids can produce when they work together!”

The directors, Deb Holland and Rebecca Stephenson said, “in the end that’s what it’s all about - giving the students the opportunities to develop confidence, self-discipline and teamwork and cooperation while extending their potential. At the same time they are having a great time. These are the memories they’ll take away with them from high school.”

Got old tapes and records lying around?

Time to transfer them onto your computer!

Many of us would have old cassette tapes and (possibly) records lying around the house with seemingly no purpose. With new gadgets available, your old music can have a new lease on life!

USB Cassette to Digital Recorder and Player $50.00 Dust off your old tape collection and revive them by turning them into digital format with this useful, portable USB tape to digital recorder.

This recorder works with all kinds of tapes to play, stop, fast forward and rewind functions. It has an easy to use USB connection for sending the music on your tapes straight to your Mac or PC where it is digitised into MP3 files with the software included.

You can listen to the MP3’s on your computer, iPod, burn them to CD’s and much more.

USB Turntable to Digital Recorder - $55.00 Ever thought about turning your vinyl record collection into a digital one? Save your favourite music on your computer or portable music player to enjoy. This wood grain styled USB turntable recorder can help you to record your vinyl music in to your computer via the included software.

Now there is no reason to throw away all those old cassette tapes and vinyl records you have lying around. By transferring your music onto your computer you can ensure your music collection can last forever! Just remember to back up all the data on your computer – just in case!

At Total Microsystems we can source many different kinds of useful gadgets such as the ones detailed above. If you have a specific job you are trying to achieve – come and talk to us today about what gadgets we can provide to make your life easier!

Everyday office tasks Fast internet speeds these days mean that we can do almost everything via the web, or on a website, but we should also remember that there are still 100 per cent free desktop software applications out there which can automate and make more efficient the majority of our our general office processes. Two of these processes I would like to touch on today are PDF creation and the transfer of larger-thanusual files.

PDF Creation Until recently we had to buy expensive Adobe Acrobat software in order to create PDF files, which are in such common use today. Luckily for small businesses, we can now save as PDF directly from Microsoft Office, to which the majority of us have access.

Office 2010 users should find this option built natively into their Office products, but Office 2007 users may need to install a small, free plug-in which Microsoft has released. To get a hold of this plug-in, just go to www.microsoft. com/download and in the search box type “save as pdf”, then follow the links.

Sending Large Files I have spoken before about YouSendIt, the software which integrates into your Outlook email software and helps you send large files via email. Unfortunately YouSendIt is now starting to charge for their services, so it doesn’t hurt to have other methods in mind.

Such an alternate method would be to split your large files into smaller chunks, which you can then email out and re-assemble at the other end. Keeping your file chunks to around 4.5 MB each will allow them to be sent without issue.

One application which will allow you to do just this is GSplit, available from www.gdgsoft.com/gsplit

Fitness Matters going from strength to strength After opening the doors in April the team at Fitness Matters have been committed to changing the lifestyles of over 250 members.

Fitness Plus team members Andrea, Michelle and Kirstee Club Owner Kirstee Copley says “now is the perfect time to make some changes and start working towards living a happy, healthy and most of all long life.”

With 1.7 million Australians already diagnosed with diabetes, an estimated 275 Australians develop diabetes every day, and over two million have pre-diabetes and are at risk of developing type two diabetes. “The changes need to start with us so people can make exercise and healthy living a part of their everyday lives,” she said.

Fitness Matters has membership packages to suit all ages and any fitness types. Have a look at their platinum membership which during July offers four extra personal training sessions in your first month - value $220.00.

Have you tried exercise before but didn’t get results? Have you lost motivation? The team at Fitness Matters understand and are happy to help you! The statistics show that of all people who exercise, only 25 per cent get the results that they want, and out of those people getting results, 90 per cent of them have a personal trainer!

“Our platinum members are treated like VIP’s and best of all, we guarantee results! Included in your membership is one hour planning, goals and programming session when you start, weekly personal training sessions with a Fitness Australia registered trainer, monthly weigh, measure, photos, goal and program review, free entry to ‘Success Seminars’ and their three challenges throughout the year, along with weekly guidance and support with food diary monitoring and a free crèche.

“That’s just to name a few, there is loads more value for your investment and the team at Fitness Matters would love for you to come in for a free health check and discuss any of our membership options. We really do have something for everyone,” Kirstee said.

2011 Management Committee - Cr Anna Grosskreutz was on hand to announce the outcome of the election of officers at the 2011 Annual General Meeting of Friends of Bankfoot House on Sunday, June 19. Ron Gillinder will enter his fourth year as President while Helen Page takes on the role of Vice-President. Ron welcomed back Keith Pennell as Secretary, Elaine Reeves as Treasurer and Jo Barrett as Committee member. Ron said he felt fortunate in having such a competent and committed team pursuing the worthwhile objectives of the Friends of Bankfoot House.

Life Memberships - The meeting also saw Ethel Burgess and Bill Ferris awarded Life Membership of Friends of Bankfoot House. Both Ethel and Bill have been great supporters of the work of the Friends since the volunteer group was formed in 2006. Their availability and keen memories have contributed greatly to our store of anecdotal and factual history of the house.

As descendents, they both have first-hand knowledge of the families who lived there.

Ethel remembers fondly her grandmother, Clementina Burgess, who lived at Bankfoot House for all of her 85 years. Clementina was the youngest daughter of the first settlers in the Glasshouse Mountains district, William and Mary Grigor.

Bill Ferris is the grandson of Clementina and William Burgess. Bill’s mother, Mary, was the eldest child of Clementina and William.

Bankfoot House Redevelopment - The Sunshine Coast Council has committed funds over the next two years, from the heritage levy, to pursue the vision of Bankfoot House being formally established as a house museum. Stage one of the proposed capital works will see the construction of a workroom and store within the property’s boundary as well as public toilets and off-street parking.

With all proposed works, care will be taken to preserve the historic integrity of the Bankfoot House site.

If you have a taste for local history or would like to learn new skills why not come along to the house and meet the volunteers. Bankfoot House phone 5493 0197 (Wednesdays) or Email friends@bankfoothouse.org

Noela Frizzo is certainly a very knowledgeable lady when it comes to growing orchids.

Sally Joyce, with help from husband Dan and mother-in-law Irene, had the garden looking at its best for our meeting, thanks to you all for your great effort.

Guest speaker Noela showed off a selection of her orchids, she spoke about growing some of our local native orchids and their requirements to grow and flower successfully. Cattleyas and Dendrobiums are some of the easier orchids to grow and Noela explained about mixtures to use, fertilising, watering and dividing.

Members asked many questions and some took advantage to purchase orchids from the selection that Noela had brought along. President John Innes gave a vote of thanks and presented Noela with a fruit basket.

Our stand at the recent garden expo in Beerwah proved very popular. Many people showed a lot of interest in the display, particularly in the examples of edible weeds and Coral Beutel’s floral art displays were popular. Thanks to everyone who helped put the display together and for supplying the plants, it was a great effort.

The July meeting is Friendship Day, so please make a special effort to support the competition bench. For July only, members can enter up to two entries in each section.

Flower of the month is Camellia and three miscellaneous. If you can, bring along a good plant or gift for the rolling raffle and a home made slice would be very welcome. The meeting is on Thursday, July 21 at the Peachester Hall at 9.00am.

Visitors are very welcome.

Parents should be keeping a closer eye on their teenagers. I’m getting fed up with the amount of teens walking the streets in the late hours of the night.

A lot of the time they appear intoxicated, and are quite rowdy, making lots of noise. As the parent of a young child, this is a constant nuisance, as it often wakes them up, and then takes a while to get them back to sleep. On a few occasions they have also thrown rocks at houses, and banged on doors.

Sometimes it’s only a handful of teens, but it’s not uncommon to see large groups of around 20-30. This, I believe is becoming a public nuisance, and something needs to be done about it.

Not all varieties available in all stores. No trade supplied. Pricing may vary in country or regional areas. Tobacco and alcohol not supplied to or for under 18’s. E.&E.O.

Residents adjoining the proposed Optus mobile phone tower site in Landsborough have received a letter from Aurecon stating that ‘due to advice received by council, the notification period for application MCU11/0058 has restarted from 5th July 2011 to 15th August 2011’.

This means that anyone who did not have time to lodge a submission regarding this proposed tower or who wishes to submit a more detailed one, can now do so until August 15. Any submissions done previously are still valid.

When contacted for clarification, council advised that the reason for the restarting of the submission period was that there was a state referred wetland within 100 metres of the site and this means that instead of 15 days for a submission period, there has to be a 30 days submission period.

This wetland is on the eastern side of Tytherleigh Avenue (the proposed site of the tower).

An amazing turn of events. How is it that this wetland was not seen when the application was made?

Isn’t this what council officers do so that developers know what the requirements are for their application?

Apparently not.

The council officer advised that a submission by LACA Inc was not valid because it was received after the closing date. One submission was posted on May 27 and other submissions from various residents, along with the petition were delivered in person on June 14. These documents were stamped by the council officer at Caloundra on the morning of June 14.

Community Associations across the Sunshine Coast have been expressing concerns about the operation of this council since its inception.

These instances in relation to the proposed tower seem to validate these concerns.

Friendly and helpful staff

I would like to commend Beerwah IGA for their helpful staff and friendliness which is always shown to me when I do my shopping no matter what time of the day. They are always so helpful when asked where I'll find an item that I don’t always buy. From the fruit and vegetable section, the deli,

people who restock the shelves and the checkout staff, all contribute to a friendly place to shop and are a credit to our IGA at Beerwah.

Well done QRail staff

I was returning to Beerwah by train recently when one of the passengers emptied his stomach contents all over the floor of the carriage.

The immediate reaction to this was the mass movement of all the passengers to the other end of the carriage. The second reaction was the prompt attendance of QR staff that covered the mess in an absorbent material, apparently to soak up as much as possible.

Thirdly, another QR staff member was waiting at the next station with a bucket and mop to clean the residue. It was not a particularly pleasant event but I have to praise the prompt attendance of the QR rail staff for attending to such a mess.

From go to whoa it was all cleaned up within three stations. Well done to Queensland Railway staff!

Why is Optus so secretive?

I am very concerned in regards to the apparent secrecy that has shrouded the Optus application for the proposed phone tower at Landsborough.

As far as I am aware, the only notification notices that were sent out were to some property owners directly concerned with the project, one resident in Leach Avenue, Savage Landscaping (on whose property the tower is proposed for) and Q Rail.

It was interesting to note that Q Rail received their notice on April 19, 2011, returning their written response to council on April 20, 2011 while the Leach Avenue resident’s notice was dated May 19, 2011, one month later.

Why should there be one date for one sector, and another for a couple of local community members?

Yes, admittedly, a notice of development was displayed outside Savage Landscaping in Tytherleigh Avenue but there is very little pedestrian traffic past there. A very large amount of vehicular traffic does though, but they do not stop to read some sign in small print. Whether or not Electro Magnetic Emissions, is real or not, it is a factor which should not be overlooked at any time.

Despite what ‘the experts’ say, from all electrical circuits, radio, television, microwaves etc (the list is endless), and with whatever electromagnetic emissions that may or may not be radiating from the afore mentioned, the amounts, large or small, could add up to a surprisingly high figure.

There was no community consultation connected to this matter.

The project does not comply with Council height regulations.....regulations in regards to tourist routes....and according to the telecommunication act, the correct distance from the school does not comply.

Is there any reason Optus maybe doesn’t want to face the local people?

Also, a proposal for a tower only a matter of metres away was rejected by the people only just a few years ago, on very many similar grounds.

Let’s hope common sense prevails when this application goes before council for judgment.

Decluttering your garage will help others Lifeline shops across the Sunshine Coast, Caboolture and Gympie are urgently seeking quality furniture donations. With a lull in donations received by the shops, building up stock in relation to furniture in good condition will enable the dispersal of affordable furniture across the greater Sunshine Coast area.

Lifeline Sunshine Coast, known for its good quality, second hand furniture, is running its mid-year Furniture Drive to replenish furniture stocks for the community to ultimately benefit from. Quality pre-loved furniture is often quite sought after for eclectic, unique and retro pieces.

Lifeline Sunshine Coast Business Manager Ian Ezzy encourages residents having garage sales or selling unwanted goods to consider donating a couple of their pieces instead.

“By donating goods, residents can feel proud that they are serving their community. The more furniture we acquire, the more fundraising money we raise which goes into supporting our counselling services and programs the Sunshine Coast over,” Ian said.

“People are still suffering in these hard times, and this is a great opportunity for people to continue to show the community that we care,” he said.

To make it easy to donate pre-loved quality furniture, Lifeline will arrange collection dates and times that are viable for everyone involved. With the end-of-financial-year, perhaps residents can also do a stocktake of the furniture cluttering up their house or shed and consider donating it to Lifeline.

Alternatively, if you have items to donate that aren’t furniture, Lifeline also offers blue donation wheelie bins. These bins can be delivered to homes, filled up at leisure and then collected at an arranged date and time by helpful Lifeline truck drivers. Simply call 5409 1400 to request the donation bins you need.

“Often people who are moving house, having garage sales or just trying to downsize find these bins a great help,” Ian said.

For more information or to arrange collections please phone Lifeline at Kunda Park on 5409 1400. For collections in the Caboolture area please phone the Caboolture Distribution Centre on 5431 4860.

Beerwah is about to be rocked to its core, with rock ‘n roll couple, Danny and Lyndell Berends, turning back the clock to the music of the 50’s and 60’s and offering learn-to-dance rock ‘n roll classes in Beerwah. Lyndell and Danny said learning to dance rock ‘n roll is not only easy, but it’s the most popular style of dance in the clubs on the coast.

“So if you have always said you would love to learn to dance like that but didn’t know where to go, or you have two left feet, after July your only problem will be buying dance shoes for your two left feet,” they said, laughing.

The Berends are the Sunshine Coast’s longest running and most experienced rock ‘n roll couple and, with over 40 years’ teaching experience, say they will have you up and dancing in minutes.

“The Beerwah Community Centre boasts one of the largest dance floors on the entire Sunshine Coast. With winter upon us, dancing is the best way to stay warm, get some exercise and have a great time.

“All you need to do is turn up any Monday night from July 18 and take the first step onto the floor.”

Beginners’ classes are broken down into simple, easy to learn steps that will have you dancing in no time and all the steps are revised each week.

Whilst some people enjoy the added benefits that dancing can offer like fitness and friendship, learning to dance for fun is by far the most rewarding, Lyndell and Danny said.

Classes start on Monday, July 18 at the Beerwah Community Hall, Peachester Road, Beerwah, from 7.30pm to 8.30pm. For more information ring Lyndell or Danny on 5491 5414 or 0403 401 011.

There will be a sausage sizzle so come and enjoy a bite to eat while browsing the stalls.

All funds go to improving the facilities of the Sub Branch.

Free Seniors Forum

The annual Sunshine Coast Seniors Forum will be held again this year on July 29. This is the 11th annual Seniors Forum, and will again include various expert speakers – including Shadow Minister for Seniors, Bronwyn Bishop - and displays from around 30 organisations that assist seniors in the community. To RSVP for the event for catering purposes or for further details please contact my office on 5444 4888.

Bruce Highway petition

I have launched a petition calling for the Australian Government to widen the Bruce Highway to six lanes between Caboolture and the Sunshine Coast. I have spoken in the Australian Parliament on the issue numerous times and also written to the relevant Minister and the Prime Minister about the issue. It is very important that we get upgrades to the highway to ensure it is as efficient and safe as possible and able to meet the demands of our growing population.

The petition attracted 391 signatures over two days at the Maleny Show and it is now well over 400.

I’m urging concerned Sunshine Coast residents to make an effort to add their names to the list so we can put pressure on the Government to address this vital need.

Peachester road works progress

My latest update from the Department of Transport and Main Roads is that works to repair Peachester Road will commence before Christmas. Unfortunately this is the best indication I have been given. The Department acknowledges the inconvenience the lane closures are causing residents. Cold comfort I know. A project page has been created on the Department’s website which will aim to update residents so make sure you have a look to get any new updates - www.tmr.qld.gov.au/projects/name/p. aspx.

I am also advised that asphalt overlay works will be undertaken on a section of Kilcoy-Beerwah Road, between Commissioner’s Flat Road and Maleny-Stanley River Road from Monday, June 27 weather permitting. This work will take until the end of the year and will result in lane closures and reduced speed limits. Motorists may experience delays of up to 10 minutes in this area.

Update on north coast rail timetable

I know there are many rail commuters who have been greatly affected by the TransLink train timetable changes that came into effect on June 6, 2011. The first few weeks were an unmitigated disaster for commuters. The 5.20pm ‘Nambour Crusher’ train, as it has been so fondly named, has been the cause of most of the frustration for commuters. Bowing to community pressure, TransLink and Queensland Rail have recently introduced an additional Nambour service, along with some other small changes, that we hope will alleviate most of the pain for commuters. Any new information on this issue is posted on my website; including media releases from the Shadow Minister for Transport, Mr Scott Emerson MP, so make sure you visit www.andrewpowell.com.au I am always keen to get feedback on this issue so make sure you let me know via the feedback section on my website if you have any experiences you would like to share.

BE A PROACTIVE MORTGAGE HOLDER - AND SAVE. Be a proactive mortgage holder – ask for what you want and start saving.

That is the suggestion from Smartline Personal Mortgage Advisers to borrowers who may doubt whether they can cut the cost of their loan repayments.

According to Teresa Harrison, often borrowers mistakenly believe that all lenders are the same and that there is no scope to reduce loan costs unless you threaten to leave your lender. She says this is far from the truth.

“There is a pervasive view that lenders all offer the same products with the exact same requirements, but there is

www.gcnews.com.au

actually a good deal of difference between the lenders on interest rates, fees and credit policies,” Teresa says.

“Borrowers can potentially save thousands of dollars by doing a bit of homework and contacting their lender to, for example, request a reduction in their interest rate.”

Teresa uses a recent example of a major lender that was advertising reduced interest rates on the life of the loan for new customers.

In many cases Smartline’s mortgage advisers simply contacted the lender on behalf of their clients and were able to secure a reduction on the interest

rate for the life of the loans.

Teresa says the only thing borrowers needed to be mindful of was ensuring that their “financial house was in order”.

“There is no point in asking the banks for a better deal if you’re always late making loan or credit card repayments for instance,” she said. “Borrowers have the best chance of success if they have a savings record, are up-to-date with all of their bill payments, and have resisted signing up for any additional debt.”

Teresa said a ‘health check’ with an experienced mortgage adviser who has access to information on

loans from multiple lenders could prove very helpful.

“Mortgage brokers have access to a vast array of products and services across a panel of lenders so, unlike lenders, they’re not trying to sell their own products,” she said.

“Rather, they’re trying to tailor a solution that suits your unique personal requirements.

Call Teresa Harrison on “Often, just going to another bank for a better product offering 5422 9458 or 0410 648 098 www.smartline.com.au/tharrison may give you the leverage Smartline CL No. 385325 needed to negotiate with your preferred lender – and a mortgage adviser will do all of the negotiation on your behalf at no cost to you.”

Making the best choices in life is not always easy, but if we ask God for wisdom and fill our hearts by reading His letter to us (the Bible) and of course use good judgement, we will begin to see that God is a promise keeping God who has a great future in store for us – so much better than we could ever imagine!

Coast Guard Caloundra’s Fishing Competition conducted from June 24 to 26 was a resounding success. Commenting on the weekend activities, Flotilla Commander Tony Barker thanked all sponsors and participants for their involvement.

“The business community and fishers have this year shown that in troubled times they understand that we, as Coast Guard volunteers, need their support to ensure that boating in our district is a little safer than it would be if it were not for their efforts.”

He made special mention of the Caloundra Power Boat Club for making their facilities available as the competition venue.

Patron Mark McArdle Member for Caloundra commented, “I congratulate the Caloundra Coast Guard on running a fantastic weekend that included a boat raffle and a fishing competition. Both were a great success, highlighting the beauty of the Pumicestone Passage and the great volunteerism of the Caloundra Coast Guard.”

The Bulldogs wore the full brunt of the Gympie Devils on Saturday at Beerwah with the 2010 Premiers coming to town at full strength to win the three games and have sent out a warning to the other clubs on the coast that they want to defend their title.

With five games to go for the season the boys are going to have to dig deep starting this weekend against the Sharks to finish off the season well.

The Juniors resume their season this weekend after the school holiday’s and teams in the hunt for the semi finals will need to hit the ground running if they want to be part of the semi final action.

park, runners in Little Athletics and drivers at the annual Burn Out day.

Division 1 Councillor Anna Grosskreutz, stated that the grandstands will provide seating for up to 180 people in total.

“Limited spectator seating has always meant patrons could not take as much advantage of events held at the sports complex, and these grandstands will be a wonderful asset for our sporting community,” said Cr Grosskreutz.

The portable design of the grandstands means that they can be easily moved around the complex depending on the type of event taking place.

The grandstands will be ready to use from the start of July in time for the 40th Annual Charity Sports Event fast approaching in August.

Fridays’ 3 bowl Pairs was a great day for some of our Veteran Bowlers. The winners were Joy Ensbey with her son Ashley, 2nd Kev Woodman and Teresa Scarffe and 3rd Julie Hart and Rick Humphries. Great result. Saturday winners were Judy Walker and Kev Woodman. They made it a double by winning the raffles as well.

A big thank you to them and our lovely volunteers in the office and the nursery and also our water monitors.

Come down to the nursery on the Steve Irwin Way and have a chat about plants, water and your local ecosystem. We may have just what you are looking for!

The 2011 Super Strawberry Competition has started with an excellent opening weight of 205 grams. Congratulations to Dieter Zellmann of Wamuran, who produced this serious contender for the 2011 champion strawberry.

Round 2 closes at 4.00pm this Friday, July 15. Entries can be presented any time during the week at the Coochin Creek Fruitgrowers Co-operative for weighing and recording. Please ask for David or Perri.

Thanks to the Co-op and Beerwah Hotel for supporting this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Super Strawberry Competition, running in conjunction with the Beerwah Charity Sports and Spring Carnival â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Saturday August 27, at Beerwah Sports Ground.

Mischarytera lautereriana This rainforest tree is tolerant, beautiful and can grow from 5-10m in the garden. Its bright green wavy leaves and brilliant red new growth will give your garden texture, and small white fragrant flowers burst from the ends of branches in great abundance leaving a beautiful display and smell. The fruit is orange when ripe and is edible and tart, making it perfect for chutney and jam. The Corduroy Tamarind is tolerant of many different soil types and light frost, making it ideal for almost any area of the sunshine coast.

This month the Corduroy Tamarind will be selling for only $1.50 per tube in our native nursery.

It's a matter of tact….

Six retired Irishmen were playing poker in O'Leary's apartment when Paddy Murphy loses $500.00 on a single hand, clutches his chest, and drops dead at the table. Showing respect for their fallen brother, the other five continue playing standing up.

Michael O'Connor looks around and asks, "oh, me boys, someone's got to tell Paddy's wife. Who will it be?" They draw straws. Paul Gallagher picks the short one. They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse.

"Discreet??? I'm the most discreet Irishmen you'll ever meet. Discretion is me middle name. Leave it to me," he says.

Gallagher goes over to Murphy's house and knocks on the door. Mrs Murphy answers and asks what he wants. Gallagher declares, "your husband just lost $500.00, and is afraid to come home."

"Tell him to drop dead!" says Murphy's wife.

"I'll go tell him," says Gallagher.
