Hi Everyone...

on the Cover

It has been a big week for the team at GC&M News putting together a 52-page edition with a really great mix of local and community news stories.

We have put the focus on our own Neighbourhood Watch dynamic duo who are on this week’s cover. They both recently took out awards at the Neighbourhood Watch Queensland conference, which is just fantastic.

Knowing that there will be a lot of interest in the possible development of the Beerwah Homemaker Centre, we have given Greg two pages to flesh out the details of the application.

There’s also an article where Hanson Quarry addresses some of the concerns raised by locals recently and an update on what is happening with the development application for the funeral parlour in Maleny.

We have also included another page and a half of letters this week, and it’s great to see so many contributors talking about a wide range of topics (and yes, not just climate change).

Actually this is only the tip of the iceberg as this week has so much more and for the first time we have also decided to expand our online edition. If you have never had a look at our online paper you can check it out via our website www.gcnews.com.au.

Happy reading.

Regards, Beerwah Police liaison officer Senior Constable Susan Lowndes with Glasshouse Country Neighbourhood Watch secretary and treasurer Maree Anderson See story page 3

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

Local News Funeral parlour battle continues The battle to establish a funeral parlour and function centre on rural lands in Maleny continues, with the proponents of the failed application – Michael and Caroline Arnett – lodging an appeal in the Planning and Environment Court.

The facility at 57 Mountain View Road created considerable interest at the time, with Sunshine Coast Council receiving 147 properly made submissions opposing the application.

A motion to refuse the development was taken to a full council meeting in July, as the council's planning assessment department had recommended that approval be granted with a number of conditions.

The motion to refuse, led by Division 1 councillor Rick Baberowski, resulted in six votes to four to refuse the proposal on the grounds that it was inconsistent with the planning scheme and would cause “unreasonable impacts” to the rural character and amenity of the area.

As reported in GC&M News (July 31), Michael and Caroline Arnett were devastated with the decision.

They felt their application failed to accurately share their vision for a dedicated “life celebration venue” to provide a tranquil, beautiful place for bereaved families and friends to come to reflect on and farewell their loved ones.

There is no local precedent for their concept and, as it did not fall into a clear planning category, their town planner had advised that while it would be primarily classed as a function centre, they were required to lodge an application as a funeral parlour as their intention was to predominantly conduct funeral ceremonies.

“Some residents have been understandably concerned about the increase in traffic to Mountain View Road, which our town planner advised is a feeder road classed to handle considerably more traffic than a typical suburban road,” Caroline told GC&M News at the time.

“This information was subsequently supported by the traffic management reports that council required. Similarly, their reports confirmed there would be no negative noise impacts as a result of the proposed activities.”

The couple have lodged an appeal, which is opposed by Sunshine Coast Council and 23 corespondents who have informed the court that they will also be opposing the appeal application.

In their notice of appeal, Michael and Caroline (through their legal firm of P&E Law) refute the reasons for refusal given by the council and have asked the court to allow the appeal, dismiss council’s refusal and approve the development application subject to reasonable conditions.

A date for the hearing is yet to be set.

By Greg Brown GC&M News last week reported on a massive new development proposal for the south-eastern corner of Steve Irwin Way and Roys Road in Beerwah.

The proposal – by Coles Group Property Developments Ltd – includes a full-line Coles supermarket, a petrol station, a fast food outlet and drive through, a retail showroom, significant car parking and plans for extensions to include a hardware/nursery, gym, bulky goods homemaker centre and a zone for service/light industry development.

The planned timeframe to opening is ambitiously given as 2021.

If approved, the Beerwah Homemaker Centre (as it will be called) could see a significant shift in the retail and commercial balance of Beerwah.

The existing Sunshine Coast town plan shows the central business district of the town based around the Simpson Street/Peachester Road precinct.

Sunshine Coast Council has spent more than $5 million improving the town centre to reflect this.

The land in question is currently zoned for medium impact industrial use, which is the same as the land around Moroney Place and Biondi Crescent.

There is a limited supply of land zoned for this purpose in Beerwah and surrounding towns.

Coles Group Property Developments asserts that the current planning scheme fails Beerwah as it does not allow adequate space for it to grow and become the medium regional activity centre it is planned to be.

They state that the existing commercial precinct in Beerwah “… is stunted in a major redevelopment sense by small allotment sizes in different ownerships. Any opportunity for major redevelopment within the existing centre would involve amalgamation of numerous smaller land parcels, from multiple owners and redevelopment of existing built structures”.

Consequently, the developers insist that the council change the town plan to rezone the 16plus hectares of land to the specialised centre zoning. This change of zoning would likely allow any subsequent applications to be code assessable and not subject to public notice or community consultation and submission requirements.

As the application has been made by the development arm of Wesfarmers, which part owns Coles, it is expected that the supermarket will be a Coles. The main planning document does not specifically say what businesses will take up the other spaces for the petrol station, showroom and fast food outlet with drive through.

However, supporting architectural schematics specifically mention Mobil for the petrol station and McDonald's for the fast food outlet.

As for the future plans for a hardware/nursery centre … one can only guess but Wesfarmers owns Bunnings.

The Coles planned is 3,768m2 in size, which is about the same space as the Beerwah Woolworths. It would have 212 car parking spaces, which is about half that in the Woolworths side of the Beerwah Marketplace.

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

The region is currently fairly well served in regards to grocery shopping, with Aldi, Woolworths and Fresh & Save in Beerwah, IGA in Landsborough, Glass House Mountains and Mooloolah, Coles Express at Wild Horse Mountain, Food Works at Glenview and Supa IGA and Woolworths in Maleny. A new Woolworths has also been approved for land near the Big Fish Tavern at Elimbah. The nearest Coles supermarkets are at Sippy Downs, Caloundra and Caboolture.

An economic needs and impact assessment report submitted as part of the current application makes an analysis of current spending patterns, total spending budget and market share.

The report uses figures for the average local household expenditure on retail goods, with a yearly supermarket total spend calculated at $114.77 million.

The consultants anticipate that Coles will capture 21.4% of the total supermarket spend locally – an amount they say adds up to $38.02 million in 2021, $18.24 million of which will be taken from the trade at Woolworths, Aldi and Fresh & Save in Beerwah.

The estimates show the Coles would impact the IGA at Glass House by a 13.1% downturn, Landsborough IGA by 12.7% and Mooloolah IGA 10.6%.

The consultants conclude that the “… scale of trading impacts across the centres network is not unreasonable and no centre is expected to see

SHOP 3 28 SIMPSON St bEERwAH

OPEN FOR DINNER 7 D AY S

trading performance reduced by such levels that their viability will be threatened”.

The economic report also looks at the operational employment impacts, with an estimated 150 supermarket workers, 20 food outlet workers and 10 retail showroom workers, totalling 180 staff at the supermarket, petrol station and fast food outlet.

Once the full Beerwah Homemaker Centre is operational, estimates are for 350 staff (150 supermarket, 20 food outlet, 150 retail showrooms and 30 complementary and ancillary uses).

The report does not indicate how many are fulltime roles and how many are part-time jobs.

The report also proclaims that there is a community need for this development, suggesting local residents are “deprived” of choice and that Coles shoppers have to travel significant distances to shop exclusively at Coles.

As part of the planning process, Coles Group Property Developments will be required to cover the costs of an independent consultant appointed by the council to fact check the developer's assertions and financial assumptions.

Another significant impact of the development will be on the road network, particularly Roys Road and Steve Irwin Way. The entire development proposal provides three separate site access points - two off Roys Road and one from Steve Irwin Way - and changes to the intersection of Roys Road and Steve Irwin Way, plus changes to the Moroney Place intersection.

The primary access to the petrol station, fast food outlet and the supermarket would be a new culde-sac into the site about 150m east of the Steve Irwin Way intersection and 80m past the Moroney Place corner. This is well short of council's design guidelines, which require a 300m distance from a sub-arterial road intersection.

For a number of reasons, traffic engineers suggest that the inconsistency is appropriate in this circumstance.

A new left turn in/left turn out access off Steve Irwin Way is also proposed. It would include a 120m left turning lane, ostensibly a third lane on Steve Irwin Way after the traffic lights travelling south.

A future access road further east along Roys Road is also indicated in the planning. The engineers suggest that as a result, the Moroney Place corner could be changed to a left in/left out only intersection, meaning all traffic leaving Moroney Place would be directed east along Roys Road away from Steve Irwin Way. Both the material change of use applications acknowledge there are many inconsistencies with the current planning scheme. However, the planning consultants say that the “substantial community benefits” override the planning scheme requirements and that the proposals are “generally positive”, and “… will be of benefit to Beerwah and the wider hinterland community”.

Next week, we will report on what some of the local residents, business owners and politicians think of the development proposal.

Glasshouse Quarry say it's business as usual There have been a number of letters appearing in GC&M News recently from local residents raising concerns about speculation regarding the operation and future of Hanson Glasshouse Quarry.

Glasshouse Quarry manager Chris Wilson has confirmed that no application to expand or change the quarry will be lodged in the near future.

“However, like every business, Glasshouse Quarry needs to continually assess its future and respond to demand from our customers, which remains high as the Sunshine Coast continues to grow,” Chris said.

Concerns have also been raised by residents living close by in relation to a blast in August this year, which they reported as feeling different.

Chris advised that in response to these concerns Hanson organised an information session with an Orica blast engineer responsible for all the quarry’s blasts.

“The blast engineer answered the residents’ questions about compliance, the science and the blasting process. It was explained that this blast was in fact not bigger or different – it was just at a higher level within the quarry," Chris said.

“Blasting is carried out around once a month to break rock from the quarry face, which is then crushed into smaller aggregates and sorted by size.

“All blasts are monitored and the quarry has a long track record of compliance. No explosives are kept at the quarry."

Another issue raised by some in the community relates to the roads used by trucks carting material from the quarry to various customer sites.

“Hanson pays Sunshine Coast Council a road maintenance levy for every tonne of rock that leaves the quarry and has asked the council to consider investing some of the accumulated levy funds towards improvements to the intersection of Old Gympie and Coonowrin roads, an area of particular concern to locals,” Chris said.

The quarry, on Mt Beerwah Road, opened in 1976 and has been owned and operated

by Hanson since 2003. It is identified as a key resource area (KRA48) and protected by Queensland Government legislation.

Over 70% of the materials produced at Glasshouse Quarry are used locally on the Sunshine Coast to produce concrete and for infrastructure works including schools, hospitals, seawalls and road pavements.

Chris said Hanson continued to engage with and welcome the community to come and view the operation for themselves. Last year nearly 400 people visited the Glasshouse Quarry open day and a number of quarry tours have been provided for local schools.

Cover Story Dynamic duo recognised

By Lea Parkes A big congratulations goes out to Glasshouse Country’s very own Maree Anderson and Senior Constable Susan Lowndes who were recognised for their work at the Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) Queensland conference recently.

Maree took out the highest honour of the event being named the NHW State Member of the Year at the conference held in Toowoomba.

Maree is a highly respected member of our local community and is the current treasurer and secretary of the Glasshouse Country NHW group as well as being the district representative on the NHW Community Advisory Committee.

When I asked Maree how she felt about receiving the award she very humbly replied that while it was a lovely recognition, she was rather overwhelmed at hearing the announcement as she didn’t think she did anything out of the ordinary.

Clearly the members of the judging panel saw what those of us who have worked with Maree know - that she is a tireless worker who quietly goes about her business and is keen to make the community she loves an even better place for us all to live in.

Maree said winning the award gave her a great opportunity to shine a light on the work the Neighbourhood Watch is doing in Glasshouse County and to help raise the profile of this beautiful area that we live in.

Maree and her husband Terry Titmarsh moved from Brisbane about nine years ago and when she retired six years ago she quickly began volunteering in our local community.

As soon as she joined Neighbourhood Watch she took on the role of secretary, which she clearly enjoys and said she found it a great way to form connections in the community.

Maree is also keen to encourage both new and long-term residents to consider coming to the bi-monthly catchups that are held on the second Tuesday of the month at Beerwah Library, from 2.30–3.30pm. They don’t have meetings - they have Coffee with a Cop and you can have a cuppa and a scone, hear a report from our local community liaison police officer Senior Constable Susan Lowndes and hear from a guest speaker.

Senior Constable Lowndes said Maree was such a tireless worker in the community in general and did so much for both the local NHW group and NHW at a state level as a member of the community advisory committee for NHW Queensland.

Senior Constable Lowndes was also recognised as the Sunshine Coast district NHW police liaison officer of the year.

Senior Sergeant Kim Cavell said that as the officer-in-charge at Beerwah she was "very proud of Susan's award as recognition of her continued commitment to making connections between police and community".

Assistant Commissioner Brett Schafferius and Jim Madden MP congratulate Maree Anderson (centre) on her award “Since starting at Beerwah Station over five years ago, Susan has been the liaison officer for Neighbourhood Watch and other community groups," Senior Sergeant Cavell said.

“Together they have initiated and realised some great events and activities that have helped to raise awareness in the community about crime prevention and reporting, and reducing victimisation.

“I commend Susan on her sustained and genuine commitment to making our community safer through meaningful engagements and strengthening partnerships,” she said.

If you would like to find out more about Glasshouse Country Neighbourhood Watch you can email Maree on NHWglasshousec@gmail.com.

Traffic and parking woes in Maleny

A new approach to community engagement and decision making in Maleny was launched in July called Maleny Forums.

The Maleny Forums model is based on a respectful and inclusive approach to gathering, sharing and discussing information on an issue, leading to decisions and actions.

The outcomes are driven by working groups formed as part of the forum, which then champion the results in whatever ways are identified as appropriate.

Maleny Forums is not characterised by formal membership. There are no elections and involvement is purely voluntary and non-political.

Maleny Forums does not claim to represent or speak for the whole of Maleny.

Last Thursday evening, the first forum on traffic and parking in Maleny was held at the Maleny Community Centre.

With 70 locals in attendance, the Maleny Forums steering team presented the findings of their recent community survey on traffic and parking in Maleny.

With almost 600 responses – an incredible 10% of the local population – the group can have a high degree of statistical confidence in the results, according to one of the forum organisers Andrew McLean.

Some of the findings were to be expected.

More than 80% of people gave Maleny a four or five star rating, and the same number feel that parking in Maple Street has grown worse. A high 98% said that they didn’t want paid parking in the town.

Then there were some unusual findings.

The survey found 41% of respondents say council is not listening enough to the local community and only 8% say they are (the remainder were on the fence). 30% preferred no cars in Maple Street and 47% reported experiencing ‘road rage’ style issues in town. 48% said they never walk into town.

In the wash up, four main areas of concerns became evident - safety and street crossings; town centre parking; placemaking/streetscaping; and traffic flow.

Maleny Forums steering team member Barry Smith said these four areas would now become the focus for individual working groups.

“Council has been very supportive,” Barry said.

“They have provided us with all the exact staff contacts we need to liaise with over these matters. So, we’ll have direct contact with the people who make decisions.

“As some of the issues cross between local government and state government responsibility,

the council staff will be our close allies in dealing with government departments … which is always a problem for community organisations."

Council’s community engagement officer Sharon Beattie spoke at the forum and supported the process, saying that forming working groups would be beneficial during the council’s budget formulation process.

“The working groups will be able to competently inform council as to the local priorities and solutions, and council will have the confidence that the ideas are backed by the survey research and community input,” she said.

The call is now out for people who are interested in becoming part of one of the solutions-focused working groups.

Business News Glenview waterpark … take six (or is it seven?)

By Greg Brown It all started back in 2014 with plans for a $400 million wave pool, then turned into a world class water park, extreme water sports facilities, a prestigious action sports training and development centre, as well as a four-star hotel, an exhibition and conference centre, cafés, restaurants, international and local retail outlets.

It then became known as Actventure and gained Sunshine Coast Council approval. Then the owner – Sanad Capital – took council to the Planning and Environment Court over stormwater charges; then it changed to a water theme park and a mix of cabins, powered caravan and camping sites, and glamping tents; then they applied to realign the land parcel boundaries allowing for part of the development to become a tourism accommodation park next to the water park; then Sanad tried to have the decision-making taken away from council and given to the Queensland Government; then Sanad asked for a two-year extension on the approval to start earthworks.

The development on Steve Irwin Way at Glenview has gone through more reincarnations than John Farnham has had farewell tours.

And now, in the latest instalment, Sanad Capital has announced details of a “ground-breaking new resort” for the very same site.

Although the company’s press release stated that they were revealing a masterplan of an integrated resort and leisure village, no specifics were presented other than a name and a list of features.

According to the release, the proposal – called Invigorate Resort – is set to encompass a mixture of family-friendly villas, a day-spa, restaurants, cafés, sports bar, open-air cinema, sports club, tennis and basketball courts, swimming pool, water-based activities including stand-up paddle boarding and kayaking, arcade and ninja indoor play centre and a waterpark with activities for all ages.

Announced to be the “best resort complex in Australia”, Sanad Capital managing director Mr Bradley P Sutherland said that Invigorate Resort would be a favourable complement to the overall development of the 25 hectare site.

“Providing a much-needed new tourist destination to energise the holiday offerings on the Sunshine Coast, and it will also be open to the public in advance of Actventure,” Mr Sutherland said.

Sanad Capital are apparently finalising the plans for Invigorate Resort and the water park before lodging the development application to Sunshine Coast Council, which is expected to happen sometime this month.

Community News Launch of magical book

There was a celebration at the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve for the recent launch of a new publication from the Friends of Mary Cairncross Association. The book, 'The Magic of Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve – A Celebration of Art and Nature', was edited by the late Dr Les Hall and supported by a seeding grant from the Sunshine Coast Council.

Tim Flannery, who wrote the foreword, recommended the book to “everyone who loves Australian nature”. Flannery said the book was “science by stealth”, meaning that the stunning artwork invites the casual viewer to read the accompanying scientific text, thus extending their knowledge of the rainforest. In the preface, Dr Hall explained that the inspiration for the coffee table book was "the beauty, complexity and serenity of the reserve”.

More than 100 guests gathered for the launch, which was managed by Brian Morgan, and were welcomed to country by Jinibara elder Uncle Noel Blair. Dr Hall’s friend and colleague, Greg Czechura, from the Queensland Museum, officially launched the book, and Dr Hall's daughter Clancy gave an emotional speech on behalf of her late father.

The atmosphere of the event was heightened by background music by harpist Kate Fraser. Among the guests were descendants of Mary Cairncross, Dr Hall’s widow Rae and most of the book’s text and art contributors.

A selection of the artworks appearing in the book are being exhibited in the Mary Cairncross theatrette until November 17, with many for sale.

Great result from community groups working together Mapleton off-leash area up for discussion

Lucy, a caramel labradoodle and good friend to many, has been visiting patients and staff at the Maleny Soldiers Memorial Hospital with her owner Geoff Bridger for nearly five years.

Geoff and Lucy provide a welcome distraction for many patients staying in the hospital and their visits are set to continue after the Maleny Hospital Auxiliary secured funding through a Maleny Rotary 2019 community grant.

Geoff and Lucy volunteer their time through the national nonprofit organisation, Delta Therapy Dogs. Each visit, after the usual Geoff Bridger and Lucy with the director of nursing/facility excited tail wagging seeing the manager David Sprigwood, Rotary Club of Maleny president familiar faces of the hospital staff, Sherryl Gregory, Greg Williams and Maleny Hospital Auxiliary it’s down to business for Lucy, president Louise Hickey visiting the patients throughout the hospital.

“It’s been a very rewarding experience for all of us.”

While not everyone is always up for a visit those Fast forward five years and thanks to the grant, that are can almost guarantee Lucy will make Geoff and Lucy can continue their great work lifting herself at home and have a cheeky sniff to see the spirits of patients throughout the hospital. what’s for lunch.

Sunshine Coast Council has more than 30 dog off-leash areas (dog parks). These areas may or may not be fenced and allow dogs to run, exercise and socialise leash-free with other dogs and dog park visitors.

Mapleton isn’t one of the lucky towns with an off-leash dog area but that may all change thanks to a community survey being undertaken by the council.

Council has not identified a site in Mapleton that meets all the needs of an off-leash area.

According to the council, early discussions have identified a diverse range of opinions and ideas on what an off-leash dog park would entail within the community.

In response to resident requests, including a petition, the council is seeking input from the Mapleton community for a range of options in order to find a solution.

This engagement is in the form of an online survey, with submissions closing at 5pm on Friday, November 22.

The survey is on the council website at https://haveyoursay.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au and clicking on ‘Open Consultation’.

Council information shows that Mapleton has about one registered dog per seven people (the Sunshine Coast average is one dog per 8.7 people). The nearest dog parks for Mapleton residents are Petrie Park, Nambour (9.3km away) and Federation Park, Palmwoods (11km).

Possible sites identified are Mapleton Lilyponds Park, Mapleton Fire Brigade Park, Spring Pastures Drive Park, Carramar Court Park, Flaxton Drive Park and Kondalilla Scout Hall Park.

With the exception of the Mapleton Lilyponds and Mapleton Fire Brigade Park, the other parks may be too far away from the centre of Mapleton for most residents. Mapleton Lilyponds was donated to the council and is held in trust for the purpose of ‘public open space and natural habitat’.

If you are interested in an off-leash dog park in Mapleton, make your voice heard and fill out the survey.

Local generosity helps drought relief The Anglican Parish of Maleny held a morning tea recently and raised more than $5,500 for drought relief in Queensland.

Priest in charge, the Reverend Jeanette Jamieson, who is vicar to three churches - St George’s Maleny, St Mary’s Montville and St Luke’s Kenilworth - was overwhelmed at the response and praised the help from the congregations.

“The support exceeded all expectations with 180 people attending from Brisbane, Nambour, Coolum, Maryborough as well as the hinterland," Rev Jeanette said.

“The church community was superb. Coordinated

by Dell Somerville and St George’s Guild, members from all the churches provided a marvellous home-cooked morning tea. We had so much, we plated what was left over and made an extra $270.

“We had 17 donations for raffle prizes so we spent a fun time drawing names. The raffle raised $1,300 and we are grateful to the donors for their generosity. Monetary donations before, during and after the event reached $1,500,” she said.

14

Speakers at the morning tea were Derek Tuffield, CEO of Lifeline Darling Downs, and Patsy Lee, president of QCWA Nambour North Coast division, who shared the money raised.

Their anecdotes gave a picture of some moving individual hardships.

“We can’t help with the big picture but we can support people on an individual basis in some cases of dire personal tragedy,” was the theme of both speakers.

The atmosphere was enlivened by a fashion parade by Maleny boutiques Simply Stylish of the Riverside Centre and Imelda’s on Maple shoes.

“Apart from their work in providing the stunning fashions, each firm gave a $100 voucher for the raffles and suggested the $20 discount they gave to guests might be forwarded to the drought relief funds," Rev Jeanette said.

“There was a suggestion that people might like to donate some personal items, or chocolates with a card and handwritten message to be given to needy farmers and their families, especially with the Christmas so close.

“Imelda’s is the collection point for these personal donations and someone has offered to collect and deliver items out west.

“Our assistance is sorely needed, even in this small way, and it is heartening to see so many giving generously of their time, talents, money and effort,” Rev Jeanette said.

Business feature

Old treasures breathe new life into Maleny streetscape Kim Ricardo and Ted Dwight opened Ishtar’s Antiques & Vintage in the old ANZ bank building in the main street of Maleny less than a month ago.

They have been running their store TakeUbak in Nambour for the last two years, but when they moved to live in Maleny six months ago they thought it would be a great opportunity to expand their thriving business.

The business started by accident when Ted pulled down an old Queenslander by hand and started making and selling recycled furniture with the beautiful old materials he acquired. He was then approached by people wanting to sell him their antiques and soon there was no more time for furniture building.

They chose the old ANZ building as it had the space they needed and was a great location. Ted then set about designing and handmaking all of the features of the store to give it the character and soul they felt was missing.

They are absolutely loving the new shop space and said that the locals have been so positive and

supportive and are already discovering that every time they come back there are always new treasures with new stock arriving daily.

The store is named after their beautiful fur baby Ishtar, a two-year-old staffy-bull arab cross who can be found either warmly greeting customers or snoozing peacefully beside the counter.

Kim and Ted source all their wares from private sellers around Queensland and Kim said she has a constant stream of people contacting her with goods for them to pick through.

“There is no formula for what we like to stock in the store, just beautiful and old, though we do have some items from local artisans that aren’t exactly old but were too beautiful not to stock,” Kim said.

“We have an eclectic collection of items in here from art deco, antique English, French, farmhouse and my particular passion, Asian antiques.

“The oldest item we have is 400 years old and the one thing they all have in common is that they are beautiful quality pieces that will last at least another 100 years.”

Kim and Ishtar Drop in and check out their beautiful wares at 18 Maple Street Maleny. Open seven days, they also offer layby and free delivery for locals.

Inspiring educator moment

By Sonia Clark Peachester State School principal Kim Fillery was recently recognised as the North Coast winner of a competition run by QSuper, which sought to acknowledge the amazing contributions teachers make to both their students and their local communities.

Coinciding with World Teachers' Day, members of the industry super fund were invited to share their proudest teaching moment. When accepting the award, Kim said she felt her proudest moment was when she attended the medical graduation three years ago of a favourite year 7 student with autism spectrum disorder, who told her she was the reason he was alive and now a doctor.

“That was a great moment but I’m also equally proud that many of our students tell me they want to go on to become teachers. I’ve also had many students go on to become occupational therapists, doctors and engineers, and it’s always wonderful to see students go on to become successful in their chosen fields.”

A QSuper spokesperson said the competition was run through QSuper's recognition initiative - the Thank You Project - with hundreds of inspiring and emotional responses received from across Queensland. With so many heartfelt responses highlighting the passion and pride teachers had in their roles, and the willingness to go above and beyond to support their students, the panel of judges had a hard time choosing just seven winners from across the state. The competition was open to teachers and educators from all education institutions across the state, both public and private.

“The Thank You Project is just one way for us to show our support for the teachers and behind-thescenes staff who devote their time to improving the education and future opportunities of Queenslanders,” the QSuper spokesperson said.

Amanda Kirkwood from QSuper presents Kim Fillery with her award Kim said that she thought the key to being an inspiring educator was about having good relationships with students, spending time with them and really getting to know them.

“It’s all about the early mornings, lunch breaks and late afternoons and getting to know the kids.

I try to learn at least one key thing about each child and make the effort to spend time and find out more about their interests. I’m also pretty good at handball,” Kim laughed.

As part of her win, Kim will receive a $1,500 prize pack for the school and a $100 Coles-Myer voucher for herself. Kim plans to use the prize pack for the benefit of the school teaching staff and invest in a new fridge for their lunchroom.

She plans to put the personal voucher towards buying a new outfit she can wear at school formal occasions such as graduation.

The Bullocky

As I came down through Conroy’s Gap I heard a maiden cry There goes old Bill the bullocky and he’s bound for Gundagai A tougher bloody bastard never cracked an honest crust A better poor old bastard never drug a whip through dust His team got bogged at five-mile creek.

Bill lashed and swore and cried If Nobby don’t get me out of this, I’ll tattoo his bloody hide But Nobby strained and broke his yoke, put out the potter’s eye And the dog shat in the tucker-box five miles from Gundagai (Anonymous) At the age of 14, local bullocky Jack Ferris would yoke up his father’s bullock team of 20 bullocks and take a load of hardwood timber into Fredin’s Mill at Woodford, ten miles away. By the age of 16, in 1917 Jack was an experienced axeman and bullocky.

It has been said that a good bullocky achieved better results with sound rather than with touch.

The clap of his long-lashed whip placed at just the right distance and direction from the ears of a lazy

Bullocky demonstration at a recent Woodford Show beast brought more immediate and concentrated effort than a dozen lashes.

At times the bullocky engaged an offsider who walked on the right-hand side or the off-side of the team. The offsider was usually a younger person learning the trade and helped to harness and unharness the team. Universally, the term offsider was used to refer to an assistant or helper.

An experienced bullocky would know his bullocks so well that the mention of an animal’s name would ensure the team member was working as he wanted.

This was particularly important for the lead bullocks.

Australia’s Great Depression saw the end of most bullock teams by the 1930s.

Jack Ferris, the last resident of Bankfoot House, passed away in 2002 at the age of 101.

The Bankfoot House Heritage Precinct is open to the public Friday-Sunday, 10am–3pm. Closed on public holidays.

Crystal Waters Music Club The last event for 2019 will be held on Saturday, November 30 from 6pm. After the chalkboard acts the club will have the wonderful Tommy Leonard, described as the ultimate troubadour singing for justice, equality and the environment.

With his silky-smooth voice and deliberate delivery, all accompanied by clever guitar chops, Tommy is a favourite at the club.

Ally Bing, a local diva, sings like an angel and plays piano and banjo. Ally writes songs of beauty with quirky lyrics that challenge as well as entertain.

Lee Hardisty is a legend on the Australian music scene. A gifted multi-instrumentalist, Lee plays

the slickest sax with a style honed from years of playing at the very highest level on Australian and overseas stages.

Bernard O'Scanaill is a folk/rock/jazz musician who sings and composes and loves to improvise, singing spontaneous lyrics. His piano style fits snugly between the beautiful vocalising of Ally and the wild soaring sax of Lee. This promises to be a great end-of-year event with great music at a great venue plus a wonderful choice of yummy food, a bar and a fabulous soirée under the stars. Entry is $15.

Become part of Boomerang Bags Beerwah Boomerang Bags is a not-for-profit organisation committed to recycling donated resources into useable shopping bags to sell and give to the local community.

The group had a stall at the recent Beerwah Street Party, where the two groups Boomerang Bags Beerwah and Glasshouse Country - enjoyed a night of great success, with close to 100 bags finding new homes within the local community.

It's now time to stock up. The group's next scheduled working bee will be at the Beerwah CWA Hall on Wednesday, November 20 at 9am.

Feel free to join the group and enjoy a morning celebrating this grassroots initiative, focusing on community building and sustainability. Morning tea will be provided. For further information call Anna on 0405 207 729 or Debbie on 0400 027 591.

Locals part of Guinness world record

Local Lions Club members took part in the successful 'Guinness Book of Records' attempt for the largest parade of caravans and camping vehicles (RVs) to travel in convoy earlier this year.

Beerwah Lions Max and Denice Pinwell, Steve and Margaret Royal, Alistair Waddell and Lorraine Harrison all travelled to Barcaldine in May to participate in the event that saw 868 motorhomes, caravans, campervans and fifth wheelers create a 9.5km line outside the town, which was verified last week.

They were participating in the record attempt organised by the Australian Motorhoming Lions Club and Barcaldine Regional Council. The event was staged on a quiet country road near the drought-affected town of Barcaldine. The previous record of 672 was set by a club in Italy in 2003.

Australian Motorhoming Lions Club president Len Waddington said it is a great achievement for the town and those who took part.

"All those that participated now can get a certificate from Guinness," he said.

Do you feel like you want to help our farmers, but don’t know how?

Well here’s a feel-good solution for you.

Get into the Christmas spirit of giving by using a preloved handbag or a cloth shopping bag to fill with nice soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, feminine hygiene products, or shaving cream, aftershave, men’s deodorant, maybe a chocolate or two and, most important of all, a hand-written card expressing your love and caring thoughts for a lovely lady or lad.

This could make all the difference for our friends going through these difficult times. When it is filled to the brim, just drop it off at Imelda’s on Maple in Maleny, or a Simply Stylish in the Riverside Centre, Maleny.

These two caring establishments have kindly offered to be drop off centres so Ms Santa, can gather her trusty sleigh and reindeers to drop these goodies at Toowoomba Lifeline where they will be distributed to some very thankful ladies and lads and hopefully put a smile upon their faces.

Closing date for donations will be the December 11, so Ms Santa (Judy) and her elves will have plenty of time to complete their mission.

Environment Bushland working bee

Contributed by Gordon Reddek The Coochin Creek Bushland Group will hold its last working bee for the year on Tuesday, November 19 from 7.30am to around10.30am.

This month we plan to continue the weeding operation we started in the reserve last month when we moved our operation to the high school edge of the reserve.

We have not done any work on that side for a long time so we decided to catch up on a bit of weeding there. There is lots to do.

Last month our group had a presence at the Beerwah Street Party. It was heartening to see how many people have an interest in bush care. The Coochin Creek Bushland Group is part of the Sunshine Coast Council's BushCare Sunshine Coast program and all are welcome to join us. Participation is free and tea is provided during the working bee. Joining the group is a good way to find out what bushland we have around us and what to do to sensibly care for it. We learn heaps on the job and the council organises great information, teaching and show-and-tell sessions both here and all around the Sunshine Coast. All of that is free for volunteers.

Anyone interested in joining us is advised to wear boots, a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, sun hat and to carry a water bottle.

All equipment required, including tick repellant, will be supplied.

We will start by meeting at the picnic table at the bend in Pepper Tree Way at the edge of the reserve. For more information contact Gordon on 0406 638 544. Leave an SMS or voice message if the phone is not answered.

War on Waste Glasshouse Country

Tip for November

Aluminium is easy to recycle but small bits can’t be picked up by the recycling machinery.

Roll it into a fist-sized ball and this will solve the problem. Aluminium is perfect to recycle as it can be made into new products thousands of times without loss of quality. Look out for products made from recycled aluminum such as this aluminium foil.

If you would like to join our group come along to the next meeting on Wednesday, November 20 from 6–7.30pm at the CWA Hall in Simpson Street, Beerwah.

Phone 0427 873 701 or Facebook War on Waste Glasshouse Country for more information.

Time is running out use it or lose it for 2019

With Charne Turner The Friends of Mary Cairncross Association (FMCA) annual general meeting was held last month when a new executive was voted in. Sue Morgan and Kerri Leddin will continue in their roles as president and treasurer, respectively. Owen Sharwood and Marilyn Beale were thanked sincerely for their work in the roles of vice president and secretary, and Pam Walker and Kaye Gardner were welcomed into these roles. Gretchen Evans, Owen Sharwood and Charne Turner make up the rest of the 2019 committee.

On Saturday, November 2 an emotional launch of the magnificent new FMCA publication 'The Magic of Mary Cairncross – A Celebration of Art and Nature' was held in the Mary Cairncross theatrette. The coffee table book was the brainchild of the late Dr Les Hall, and is a compilation of artwork and specialist knowledge showcasing the many forms of flora, fauna and fungi found within the Scenic Reserve. The pictures have been carefully and beautifully created by talented local artists, and the accompanying text gives a greater appreciation of the complexity of nature. Speakers at the launch praised Les for his dedication to the environment and for his love of the Mary Cairncross Reserve.

For those interested in joining FMCA, membership is $10 a year and the association meets four times a year. Membership forms are available by emailing the secretary at fmcasec@gmail.com or from the Discovery Centre. New members are always welcome.

The Friends of Mary Cairncross Association aims to protect and enhance the natural environment of the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve. To find out how to become involved check out www.friends-of-mary-cairncross.com.au or call 5435 0348.

You Said It Community spirit and generosity

The ladies from the Anglican Church in Maleny hosted a combined ladies breakfast on Saturday, October 26 and raised funds to support our wonderful chaplain at the Maleny and Conondale primary schools.

And if that wasn’t enough the following Wednesday, October 30 the ladies from not only the Maleny Anglican Church but also from the Montville and Kenilworth churches cooked and provided a truly sumptuous morning tea raising funds for our Queensland farmers.

Tranquil Park restaurant provided the venue for free. Over 100 people attended and guests enjoyed a fashion parade from two local businesses who donated items for the raffle and discounts on items purchased. More of that generosity!

What a wonderful response to these events as both were fully booked with folk wanting to support these very worthy causes!

The Friends of Ebenezer will be hosting a morning tea at The Orangery Maleny on Thursday, November 21 from 10.30am–12.30pm.

There will be a raffle, items for sale for Christmas gifts, including Christmas and greeting cards (cash only for these items). Guests can relax, sit back and enjoy a local harp duo.

Funds raised will purchase vital science equipment and text books for children in the Ebenezer School in Livingstone, Zambia. There are still plenty of tickets available so contact Lenore on 5429 6194 or mobile 0407 672 076 to book, or online at www.ebenezerfundraiservintagetea.floktu.com.

Bookings are essential with no tickets at the door.

If you would like to support us at this lovely event we would love to see you there. All of the booking information is on page 23 of this edition.

Climate catastrophe

David Lowry (GC&M News, October 30) continues his predictions of “climate catastrophe” based on sea level rise caused by “business as usual”.

I assume he means the hypothesis that CO2 from fossil fuel use will cause dangerous runaway global warming. The UN IPCC computer models used to calculate climate employ excessively high values of climate sensitivity to CO2 that over predict current observed warming by over 300%.

The IPCC has relentlessly hyped the snowless winter scare and in 2001 claimed that “milder winter temperatures will decrease heavy snowstorms”. Heavy winter snow, particularly in the northern hemisphere, has been increasing for several years and there is still plenty of Arctic sea ice despite climate scientists and Al Gore’s various claims that it would all be gone by 2013, then 2016.

James Hansen, ex NASA climate science chief and architect of the global warming scare in the USA, predicted in 1988 that the highway along the Hudson River in New York would be under water by 2008. It isn’t. In 2005 the UN Environment Programme warned that because of sea level rise some 50 million “climate refugees” would be fleeing from low-lying regions of the globe by 2010. They didn’t.

With this poor predictive record why would you rely on the IPCC’s sea level rise predictions to the year 2100, let alone 2300? It’s like believing in the tooth fairy. Strong correlation between daily high temperatures and solar total irradiance 22

shows that solar activity, not atmospheric CO2, is the primary driver of earth’s temperature. The sun’s irradiance is now the weakest since the little ice age and temperatures should be cooling in the near future.

Electoral boundary changes

The Queensland Electoral Commission released final March 2020 divisional boundaries for Sunshine Coast Council last Friday.

Compared to the recently released and advertised boundary review maps, there are now significant changes to the advertised proposed boundaries, particularly between divisions 5 and 10.

Obviously community submissions and objections were considered relevant by QEC. The QEC proposal to excise Woombye from Division 5 has been reversed and Woombye is now returned to Division 5. Likewise the proposal to transfer Dulong, Mapleton, Obi Obi and Kenilworth into Division 5 has also been reversed and they return to Division 10.

The old common boundary between divisions 5 and 10 has been altered slightly but the final result is similar to that existing before the review.

In due course, a larger and more detailed map will clarify the actual boundary location.

The proposed boundary review transferring Glenview and Palmview, Mount Mellum, Bald Knob, Crohamhurst and Booroobin from Division 1 into Division 5 has been upheld. This makes sense as it restores communities of interest between all districts west of the Bruce Highway as well as those districts south and east of Maleny.

Division 10 boundaries have been restored to once again closely reflect the existing boundaries.

As a result, divisions 5 and 10 are once again the two purely rural divisions generally located west of the Bruce Highway.

Well done to everybody who lodged submissions with QEC. Thank you.

Winston Johnston Division 5 candidate

Expert scientists

Disraeli is reported as saying: "There are three types of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics".

Wendy Hodgins (GC&M News, October 30) flings at us the "fact" that "There is agreement by 98% of expert scientists that human activity is creating our worsening climate". 98%? Really? Who counted them, and how many are government funded?

And are these the same expert scientists who tell us a tree is 87.9% water (43.5% carbon and 44.4% oxygen) - Hugh Johnson in his book 'Trees' - or 60% of the earth's surface is used for agriculture - Tim Marshall - or a zebra can't change his spots - Al Gore - or that it takes 100,000 litres of water to produce 1kg of beef Professor Meyer of the University of Adelaide.

Not to mention the expert scientists who released 100 cane toads 80 years ago.

From 1940-1974, the mean global surface temperature fell about 1 degree Fahrenheit so the "expert scientists" predicted a little ice age like the one that cooled Europe from the 16th through to the 19th centuries. During those years Greenland's once lush fields vanished and England's productive vineyards withered (TIME Magazine, November 11, 1974). They blamed it

on the increased use of fossil fuels.

Let’s have a positive response

Sorry Cr Rick (GC&M News, November 6) but yet again you have proved you do nothing for the region. Council did not direct people over mulch as the trampled plants can be seen in the picture.

It’s nice that Cr Rick asked the maintenance team to tidy the park in Peachester. Whenever I request council to mow their reserves I get told it’s a contractor responsibility and nothing can be done about it. The creek is overgrown and causing properties upstream to flood. Cr Rick has let council get away with neglecting the region for too long.

I notice Cr Rick is calling for council to be more transparent yet has never voted against private meetings.

Your time is up Cr Rick, the people of Glass House deserve better!

Scott Wilson Glass House Mountains

Re: Positive campaign

I completely agree with Cr Baberowski’s call for a positive campaign (GC&M News, November 6).

In my view, a positive campaign is a campaign that yields better outcomes for constituents.

That has been my intention from the start and it is why I will continue to raise issues of concern to the community, including where incumbent councillors have failed us.

This week, Division 1 residents have already had a win with Cr Rick finally responding to some of the recent issues in both GC&M News and the Sunshine Coast Daily, although he still opts to blame the state for issues he wants to deflect.

Communication with residents, or lack thereof, has been one of this council’s failings and it needs to change.

If some healthy competition for the upcoming election gives Cr Baberowski the motivation he needs to do his job better, then frankly we all win and it will have been an entirely positive campaign.

Jenny Broderick Division 1 candidate

Re: Our roads are dangerous

Thank you to Cr Rick Baberowski for your prompt reply (GC&M News, November 6) to my letter. Your assumption that I was intending to “have a go at council” is erroneous. My question as to your justification of the $45 transport levy imposed on Beerwah ratepayers when no transport is available to the area still remains unanswered.

Your pass that Peachester Road is under state government control is valid. The fact that you are a paid representative in the public sphere makes you equally responsible to push for the amenities for the communities you represent. How many representations to the state government have you made on this issue of pedestrian crossings in your area, and in particular Peachester Road?

Has the council made any plans regarding the pedestrian access from the south east (Roberts Road) to the new upgrade of the corner of Peachester and Old Gympie roads?

Thank you in anticipation of a speedy reply to these specific questions. Assume nothing.

Re: Let's have a positive campaign

I always look forward to election time. Listening to new ideas, motivating attitudes and, most of all, fresh faces. Recently, I was disappointed to witness what appeared to be a smear piece written by candidate Jenny Broderick (GC&M News, October 30) directed at the current councillor. This is not state/national party politics where we attack each other. Please, let’s all contribute to the betterment of our region and not take cheap shots for brownie points.

Really Senator?

"A Voice to Parliament will divide Australia along racial lines," says local LNP Senator James McGrath. Just 60 years ago Indigenous people were barely regarded as people.

Before that hundreds were captured and moved to settlements like Palm Island and Cherbourg.

Many children were separated from their families. Many were not paid wages. Some were murdered. Was this humane? Where was equality then, Senator?

McGrath is baulking at enshrining a Voice to Parliament in the Constitution. Using the argument that "we are all equal now" to block the Voice sounds like a privileged white man dismissing what he doesn’t want to acknowledge - or heal. For the record, there are three elements of the Uluru Statement: constitutional recognition of Australia’s First Nations, the Makarrata Commission and a process of truth telling.

Mental illness

I have to take issue with a column in GC&M News (November 6) and headed “From the churches”.

It was stated that “being out of touch with reality is a characteristic of mental illness”.

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement.

However, the context in which it was used could be construed as a true definition of hypocrisy.

Considering that there has never been any proof that a god exists, then it is fair to say that, in

By Sonia Clark Maleny dancer Gianni Curiale has secured a role in the upcoming Queensland Ballet’s production of the ‘The Nutcracker’ playing at QPAC this December. The year 6 Maleny River School student currently trains at the Sunshine Coast Conservatory of Dance and is also part of the prestigious Australian Ballet School’s ITP (Interstate Training Program).

Gianni said that he really enjoyed doing ballet and found it relaxing and a great way to express himself. Although it can be hard work, because he enjoys it so much he feels it’s fun, like playing a game. He is naturally thrilled to have been awarded a part in the upcoming Queensland Ballet production – the iconic story also being the first ballet production he saw as a younger child.

“I think it’ll be a cool experience and I’m really excited to be part of the production as I’ve never done something this big before,” Gianni said.

As a four year old, Gianni would tag along with his mum Su to his older sister’s dance lessons and, given the option to either sit still or get involved, he chose to start doing hip hop lessons.

When he was five, he decided to try other dance styles and took up ballet, tap and jazz lessons. During this time he had a male ballet teacher who, as well as noting Gianni’s enjoyment of the dance form and talent potential, also suggested Gianni had "perfect ballet feet and good natural form".

Gianni currently practises his ballet three hours a week, as well as fortnightly one-on-one lessons and weekly jazz dance lessons. As part of his place in the ITP, Gianni is able to access master classes and intensive training opportunities, with the chance to attend annual four-day training intensives in Melbourne specially focussed on male dancers.

Gianni said he would like to see more boys taking up ballet and he is currently looking forward to seeing how far his passion for dance will take him. He recently auditioned for a guest program spot at the Queensland Ballet Academy, which is similar to his ITP mentoring and supports further pathways to more intensive ballet training opportunities.

“Everyone should do ballet just because it’s fun. People should see boys dancing and say 'Wow! That looks amazing'. I think it’d be great to see more boys doing it, and if you are a boy and you want to dance then you should just do it,” Gianni said.

Scary disco at Peachester

Peachester Hall carried on its role of making more memories when Peachester State School held its Halloween disco recently.

A live drum set and guitar and keyboard were played by Baba Yaga and the Monterious Band.

There were plenty of creative costumes on the night and all of the children had so much fun.

Out and about in our local community

Learning more about people and places in our local community has been a fun and exciting focus for children and staff at Glass House Early Education Centre over the past few weeks. Centre coordinator Dee Shaw said that a recent highlight was the centre’s Walk for Daniel excursion to the local Post Office. Dee said that as well as providing an active and engaging day out, the centre was able to raise funds to donate to the child safety awareness charity from the generous contributions of local businesses, community and families.

“The children had an amazing time on our community walk, engaging with our local community members and meeting new friends, even some cute, little furry ones too,” Dee said.

With a commitment to providing an immersive, interactive and engaging approach to early childhood learning, the centre educators are always looking at new and innovative opportunities to allow children to thrive. Dee says the Glass House Early Education Centre understands the importance of building each child's social capital and actively seeks ways to implement practical interests and skills to nurture this vital growth.

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

“We love investing in our children and building what we term ‘social capital’. We achieve this by ensuring the children have opportunities to be out and about in our local community regularly. By offering variety and complexity in the ways in which children are able to connect and participate, this effectively supports their life learning,” Dee said.

A positive sense of identity and experiencing respectful, responsive relationships strengthens children's interest and skills in being and becoming active contributors to their world.

“We believe that children need to be allowed the freedom to explore and learn in their own context, not just the way WE learn. They need to make decisions and choices throughout their day that are completely their own doing.

To build happy, confident adults we need to support our little people to experience life, take risks and overcome challenges,” Dee said.

Realising the importance of building community connections and meaningful community engagement to develop a positive sense of self and place in the wider community, Dee and the team are continuously looking at ways to

strengthen local bonds. The team are currently exploring exciting new avenues and learning adventures so that the children have more support to be active in the local community. Dee says that this helps develop a valuable, life-long learning for all children and is something that she and the centre educators believe needs to be happening from a very young age.

“We are currently in the planning stages to begin regular excursions and outings with our little babies and toddlers as well. Look out community - we are coming out and about soon! It takes a village to raise a child and we here at Glass House Early Education Centre would like to bring this age-old philosophy back to our little town.

So, watch this space!” Dee said.

With a program schedule packed with engaging and interactive opportunities and fun for young children, a sustainability focus, healthy eating program and dedicated local bus pickup service, why not contact the centre for an obligation free tour or even to just ask a few questions.

Supporting drought affected farmers

I know that supporting drought-affected farmers is a hugely important issue for many of us on the Sunshine Coast so I want to let you know what the Morrison government is doing. We are providing more than $8 billion in assistance and concessional loans to support farmers and rural communities affected by drought. This includes the farm household allowance, which directly supports farmers and their partners in financial hardship, the Drought Communities Program, Building Better Regions Fund and Roads to Recovery Program, all of which support communities in drought-affected areas through local infrastructure projects and other droughtrelief activities, and the Future Drought Fund to boost future drought resilience across Australia.

We have made changes to the taxation system to support farmers in need, provided funding for fencing and pest control in drought-affected areas and provided free financial counselling to farmers.

We are also preparing for the future by delivering better rural water infrastructure. The government has created the Regional Investment Corporation, which delivers concessional drought and investment loans and the National Water Infrastructure Loan Facility. We have made $3.3 billion available for investments in water infrastructure, including the National Water Infrastructure Development Fund and funding for emergency water infrastructure on farms. Helping drought-affected communities has been the Prime Minister’s number one priority since day one and it will continue to be so in the months and years to come.

State Member for Glass House Veterans' breakfast

It was fantastic to welcome the Minister for Veterans and Defence Personnel, Mr Darren Chester, along with the federal Member for Fisher, Andrew Wallace, to the Maleny RSL last month to talk about Veterans Health Week. The theme of Veterans Health Week this year was mental wellness. The minister answered questions from local veterans and their family members, and received some brilliant suggestions for ways to better serve those who have served us.

Celebrating ten years as your MP

Earlier this year marked ten years in the job as your state Member for Glass House and, to celebrate and give back to you in a small way, I have announced four community barbeques in the lead up to Christmas. I have already held two barbeques, in Maleny and Woodford (which both had fantastic turnouts), and the next two are at Glass House Mountains and Upper Caboolture.

There is no need to RSVP – just rock up! I look forward to seeing many familiar faces, meeting new faces and hearing your concerns and thoughts about Glass House and Queensland.

Thank you again for your trust and support over the past ten years.

The barbeques will be held from 5-6pm on Tuesday, November 19 at Farmer’s Assembly Hall, Upper Caboolture and Thursday, November 21 at Settler’s Rotary Park, Glass House Mountains.

Dairy code of conduct

Until November 22 dairy farmers on the Sunshine Coast can have their say on the new mandatory dairy code of conduct. The government has worked hard to get this code published early so that local dairy farmers can benefit from January 1 next year. We want to make sure that the contracts offered to farmers are fair and this code of conduct will help. We have fantastic examples of good practice like Maleny Dairies here on the Sunshine Coast so I encourage local farmers to visit the Department of Agriculture website and give their views today.

New grants for smart farms

The latest round of the government’s Smart Farms Small Grants Program is open for applications until December 19. These grants help farmers turn their innovative ideas into projects that improve the quality of their land while increasing farm productivity and sustainability. We received a grant here under the last round of this program for the Lake Baroon Catchment Care Maleny sustainable beef project. I want to see more funding come to our community this year. So if you’ve got a great idea for a project visit the community grants website now to apply.

Beerwah Street Party

Let me start this off by stating the obvious … the Beerwah Street Party last month was absolutely brilliant! Celebrate Glasshouse Country pulled together a community event that was great fun for people of all ages, which is no easy feat.

Some of you visited my stall at the street party and left notes on my whiteboard as to what you would like to see improved in the Glass House electorate in 2020. Thank you for all your awesome suggestions. The most frequent request I received was for a bike path between Beerwah and Glass House, a request which I have made in Parliament to the Minister for Transport and Main Roads: “With reference to the North Coast Rail Duplication and, more broadly, investment in cycleways referenced in the Queensland Transport and Roads Investment Program — will the Minister detail (a) if a dedicated cycleway between Beerburrum and Beerwah will be constructed as part of the rail duplication and (b) if not, whether there are any other plans to invest in such a cycleway and when?”

I will endeavour to update everyone as soon as I receive a response from the minister. glass.house@parliament.qld.gov.au www.andrewpowell.com.au Search us on Facebook Andrew Powell

Division 5 - Sunshine Coast Mooloolah Community Pool update

Before the summer swim season started, council received correspondence from the Mooloolah State School P&C advising it had struggled to find an operator for the upcoming season.

As such, the P&C requested a reduction in the number of operational hours so services could continue to be offered to the community.

Fortunately, a new operator has been engaged and the pool now operates for 25 hours per week outside of school hours. You can find the public swimming timetable on the Mooloolah Pool’s Facebook page.

Nominations open for Young Conservationist Award

In honour of the late Dr Les Hall OAM and his commitment to conservation and ability to inspire future generations, the Hall family worked with council to create the inaugural Les Hall Young Conservationist Award. Nominations are open through to January 13 for youth who are involved in a project that takes an active role in conservation, increases awareness and demonstrates the power and innovation to make a difference for Australia’s native wildlife. So if you know of someone 18 or younger who is making a difference to our environment, nominate them today through council’s website.

Don’t forget to reduce, reuse, recycle this National Recycling week, November 11–17

It’s as easy as remembering to take your reusable cup, bottle and bag when you go out, so that you’re always ready to reuse! Sunshine Coast Council has been on its sustainability journey for many years and works proactively with the community to reduce waste and address the impacts of plastic on our natural environment. Simple things like replacing plastic items with alternative reusable products makes such a big difference to our environment in the long term. For great tips and tricks, check out the LivingSmartQld website and get on-board the #BYOSunshinecoast campaign.

One step closer to a biosphere for the Sunshine Coast

Our biosphere nomination has started its journey through the state and federal governments for submission to UNESCO in 2020. Becoming a biosphere is a natural fit for the Sunshine Coast as its values encompass the same aspirations as our community. A biosphere is a special place where responsible development and people living sustainably sit alongside active conservation. It’s a place where our people, environment, economy and culture are connected and can leverage off each other.

Just like our region. The Sunshine Coast is a highly desirable place to live, work and play. A UNESCO biosphere would provide international recognition and help us to protect and enhance our economy, lifestyle and environment for future generations. For more details visit council’s website.

Tracy King and her team are here to advise and assist you in legal areas relevant to Seniors including estate planning, estate administration, Wills, Enduring Powers of Attorney, Advance Health Directives and entry and exit into retirement villages. We are a general practice and therefore we cover most areas of the law for you. We are ‘Your Lawyers For Life’.

Two proud granddaughters contacted GC&M News last week keen to share the story of their grandparents. Bianca Wellsteed (née McIntyre) wrote the following story and Casey McIntyre took the lovely photo of her grandparents.

Landsborough couple Gordon (Jock) McIntyre and Fay McIntyre (née Schmidt), who were married on October 29, 1949 celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary recently.

In 1946 Jock returned from World War II weighing a slight nine stone [57kg] and was hospitalised due to ill health.

As he recovered, his sister Gwen McIntyre was by his side and tagging along was her friend Fay. After his recovery, aged 22, Jock asked Fay, aged 16, on a date and the rest is history.

With the blessing of their families they were married, aged 24 and 18, at the Warracknabeal Presbyterian Church in Victoria.

After honeymooning, via train, in Adelaide they returned to Warracknabeal to live in a share house.

This sharing of their home became the cornerstone of how their life together would pan out, with

anniversary

their home always having an open door to many of their sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Fay spent the first 10 years building their family, welcoming Julie, Gerard and David, all the while Jock worked one or two jobs to support his growing family.

They spent the 1960s as entrepreneurs buying, building, selling and renting houses in Portland, Victoria. After 20 years of marriage, in the early 1970s, they left Victoria to adventure around the country finding their “home” on 11 acres of bush in Landsborough, where they have lived for over 40 years.

During this time they built their own home, travelled the world and welcomed nine grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.

Many GC&M News readers will also recognise Jock from his many appearances at the ANZAC Day parades in Landsborough, where he is regularly photographed with his gorgeous great grandsons.

Thanks to Jock and Faye’s two proud granddaughters for sharing their family story with GC&M News readers.

Wills

To ensure that the administration for your estate is as easy as possible for your loved ones we strongly recommend that a qualified solicitor draft your Will for you. Unfortunately, the courts are full of matters which are being litigated purely because a ‘home-made Will’ cannot be interpreted sensibly, has various interpretations or has not adequately considered all matters required. A well drafted Will also takes into account matters other than assets within the estate, such as superannuation and life insurance, to ensure that all of your assets are dealt with consistently. Importantly, a general discussion with us about the nature and extent of your assets and liabilities and our advice to you in that regard, can save your executors a great deal of time, money and stress.

Photo by Casey McIntyre

Enduring Power of Attorney

It is our opinion that everyone must have an Enduring Power of Attorney. In some respects, it is more important than a Will, as without one you may be left in a state of legal limbo with no-one able to legally look after your financial affairs or make health decisions for you. This, unfortunately, regularly happens to people who do not have an Enduring Power of Attorney and who find themselves in hospital but are assessed as not being able to return home. If they are incapable of making an Enduring Power of Attorney then an Application needs to be made through QCAT to the Guardianship and Administration Tribunal for an Order. Such an Order can take a considerable period of time and involves a great deal of work. It also can lead to ill-will and disputes between your loved ones.

Please contact us to discuss your legal needs and make an appointment for us to assist you.

Daily habits that reduce the risk of breast cancer It’s no secret that our lifestyle choices can have a huge impact on our health and it’s no different when it comes to breast cancer.

One in eight Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer by the age of 85. It is the most common cancer diagnosed in Queensland women and the second highest cause of cancerrelated deaths.

Manage your weight Overweight women are more likely to develop cancer, which is why it’s important to maintain a healthy weight and diet.

Dr Roper says there’s a link between obesity and increased oestrogen levels, and those increased levels can contribute to the risk of breast cancer.

“Fat tissue stores and releases the female hormone oestrogen, which contributes to the growth of endometrial or uterine cancer, and to oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer,” she says.

Get active BreastScreen Queensland recommends 30 minutes or more of moderate physical activity every day. It could be something as simple as a brisk walk, a yoga class or laps in the pool.

If you find it difficult to get motivated, participate in group or team activities so you have someone with you to encourage you to get up and moving.

While anyone can develop breast cancer, regardless of age or lifestyle factors, women aged between 50 and 74 are most at risk.

However, there are simple choices we can make every day to help avoid this devastating disease.

Dr Alison Roper, clinical director of BreastScreen Queensland Sunshine Coast, says there are three major lifestyle factors associated with an increased risk of breast cancer: being overweight, inactivity and high alcohol intake.

“It’s never too late to improve your lifestyle habits,” Dr Roper says. “Lose weight, cut back your drinking and become more active.”

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

Reduce alcohol intake Having more than one standard alcoholic drink per day can increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer due to its impact on oestrogen levels and hormones associated with hormone receptorpositive breast cancer.

“Studies have shown that compared to women who don’t drink at all, women who have three alcoholic drinks per week have a 15 per cent higher risk of breast cancer,” Dr Roper says.

Breast screening In addition to a healthy lifestyle the single most effective way to reduce your risk of fatal breast cancer is with regular breast screens.

BreastScreen Queensland recommends women aged between 50 and 74 have a breast screen once every two years.

Dr Roper says screen-detected cancers tend to be treated more successfully because they are often discovered at a much earlier stage than selfdetected lumps.

“Until we know what causes breast cancer or how to prevent it, our best means of treating it is to detect it early,” she says.

You can book your free breast screen appointment for the Beerwah mobile or any of the BreastScreen Queensland sites on the Sunshine Coast by visiting www.breastscreen.qld.gov.au or by calling 13 20 50. A doctor’s referral is not necessary.

If you have a goal, don’t be scared - do it!

Proving that you are never too old to give it a go, 64-year-old Landsborough local Trevor Foulshan recently accomplished a 12-day trek to the Mt Everest base camp. Completing the epic adventure with his younger brother Glenn, Glenn’s partner and family members, Trevor said that if he could inspire others he would suggest that "if you have a goal, don’t be scared, just prepare for it and do it – you are never too old”.

Q: How did you come to do this Mt Everest base camp adventure?

A: Well, a little while ago, my younger brother Glenn had gone on the Inca trail to Machu Picchu in South America. He had texted me from the top saying that I should be there with him! So I said next time he plans a mountain trip I’ll do it with him. Glenn had been wanting to go on this trip to base camp for over ten years and last September he decided he was going to make it happen. Earlier this year I agreed to join him and so started to train to get ready for it.

Q: How did you prepare yourself physically for the trip?

A: I’ve always been reasonably fit and led an active life but I knew I needed to really prepare for this trip. I walked throughout the Glass House Mountains, tackled lots of hills and spent quite a bit of time doing the Dularcha National Park's roses circuit, which I tried to do at least once a week. I also started off doing fast walks around Ewen Maddock Dam. Q: How would you describe your experience to tackle base camp?

A: A positive thought about my experience to base camp would have to be that you should create a challenge, live it and love it! Being part of a personal challenge or being part of the

challenge of someone who has inspired you, changes the world around you. The people I met while preparing my fitness by walking the hills and tracks locally, some gave a look of doubt because of my age but praised me for my efforts.

Young people that had also trekked to base camp spent time giving tips and advice, which was well accepted by me. All that praise and advice was fantastic but I could not put it all together until I was actually trekking my way to Mt Everest base camp.

Q: Can you describe what it was like on the trek?

A: Days of climbing stairs for hours, steep paths, only to go down slopes again to cross a swing bridge or river, then up more steep tracks.

Running out of energy to walk at any pace, only to stop for lunch and feed up on pasta, rice or eggs and a small amount of fresh green vegetables.

Wow! And then into it again till our night's rest.

As we trekked, I had inspirations of huge, astonishing, breath-taking snow-capped mountains that appeared to reach above the clouds. Those things no one could explain in words, even photos don't do it. The life on the mountains, so simple and rewarding to me, with friendliness and gratitude from everyone. Being passed by yaks carrying goods up the mountain, their daily life routine.

Q; How did you feel when you reached base camp?

A: Arriving at base camp with my group filled my life with energy of achievement and happiness, not only young people but me, aged 64, and the others in my group (a bit younger than me) were able to push mentally with endurance and stamina to fulfil a dream-able challenge.

I step back and say, life was made to live and enjoy, don't let routine and ruts take hold of you, share your life with unforgettable challenges, at any age.

B creative at workshop retreats

Internationally renowned and locally based milliner Brenda Treasure, from B Unique Millinery, offers millinery workshops and weekend retreats at her beautiful rural property at Peachester.

Participants can learn about the art of millinery and take home a number of their own creations.

One recent retreat participant summed up her experience as the best millinery retreat ever that far exceeded her expectations.

So you might be thinking that having a professional milliner with international experience share her skills and knowledge, well, of course, the participant is going to be impressed.

However, clearly the experience Brenda provides is so much more. The attendee acknowledged how welcomed she felt from the moment she was picked up from the airport to saying her final goodbyes, describing Brenda as the loveliest of hosts who was friendly and caring about each individual’s needs.

She praised the comfort of the beds and being able to enjoy a swim in the pool each morning, as well as the healthy delicious home-cooked meals by Brenda accompanied by good Australian wine.

While expanding millinery skills is what attracts people to attend a B Unique Millinery workshop, it seems there is much more for guests to enjoy and so many reasons to make them want to come back again and again.

For more details on products and local millinery retreats and workshops, visit the B Unique Millinery website www.buniquemillinery.com or contact Brenda on 0419 511 799.

Glasshouse Views at Beerwah is one of the many aged care facilities operated by family-owned business McKenzie Aged Care.

At McKenzie, their vision is to build warm, fun and welcoming communities where residents receive the very best in care and people are not only cared for but cared about.

From the staff they choose to the way they design their homes, they pride themselves on creating communities that are warm, comfortable and inviting, giving residents a true feeling of home.

There are many special aspects within their communities, including sharing meal times, making friends, enjoying laughter and joy, and sharing pasttimes and activities with residents and their families.

On Melbourne Cup day quite a few of the residents enjoyed getting together for a bit of fun. The highlight of the day was having their own race to cheer on. In place of horses, there were some very cute little dogs with tiny toy jockeys on their back who excitedly ran their race, which definitely brought a smile to all those watching on.

However for residents who would rather enjoy some quiet time, they each have their own room, they can take a walk through the beautiful gardens, or lose themself in one of the many books in the library, while knowing that there are still people around if they feel like some company.

Importantly, as it is the residents' home they have the freedom to choose how to spend their time.

At McKenzie they offer short-term respite care for those who would like to see for themselves the standard of care that is provided before deciding on Seniors Ar�cle move. You can take a tour of the beautiful communities at a permanent Beerwah and Bribie or call them on 1300 899 222 to discuss how they can help with your or your loved one’s care needs.

From the churches

Integrity

In Proverbs 10:9 it says: “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out". The dictionary defines integrity as "honesty, soundness, wholeness". What does that all mean for us in 2019 here on the Sunshine Coast?

Here are some scenarios to think about.

The other day my family and I were driving along Steve Irwin Way when we came to a section of roadworks that had a 40km speed limit. A ute was driving way too close to the back of our car and weaving from side to side. This got me thinking ‌ why do we agree to the rules of the road when we get our licence but then choose to ignore these rules or even pressure other drivers just because we’re feeling selfish? As was the case with the ute that was tail-gating us the other day, why would a business owner with signage all over their vehicle want to drive badly?

Mike Turner Beerwah High Chaplain lifestyle they have chosen. What is sad about this is that kids are far less interested in material things than parents think and having a healthy, solid relationship with their family is far more important.

They might say they need a mobile phone, Xbox and a $1,000 scooter but if it came down to it, they'd much prefer a solid home life. The Courier Mail had a fantastic two-page article about this on October 29, titled 'Parent Trap'.

Two interesting points come out of Proverbs 10:9.

One, that there is a consequence for this stuff. At the end of the day, we will be found out if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have integrity in our lives.

Two, if we live with integrity, we will experience a sense of security and stability that will benefit us and make people want to be around us. People will gravitate to us because they can trust us.

Health &Beauty Mozzie season on its way

Summer is approaching and the possibility of wet weather and high levels of rainfall may result in an increase in mosquito numbers throughout our region.

Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service public health unit director, Dr Virginia McLaughlin, is concerned about the potential increase in mosquitoes and the health of Sunshine Coast and Gympie residents.

“It’s very important to protect yourself and family from mosquito bites and to prevent further mosquito breeding by inspecting around your home and yard for standing water, which serves as a mosquito breeding site,” Dr McLaughlin said.

Following are simple things that can be done to prevent mosquitoes and mosquito-borne disease: Remain vigilant at all times of the day as different disease-carrying mosquitoes can bite at different times, but especially at dawn and dusk on the Sunshine Coast.

Wear long, loose, light-coloured clothing.

Use an insect repellent than contains DEET or picaridin. Read and follow all directions and precautions on the mosquito repellent product label, especially for infants.

Empty any containers holding water around the house and worksite weekly.

Install and maintain insect screens on all doors, windows and rainwater tanks.

If planning an overseas trip, see your GP for a travel health consultation.

Under the Public Health Act 2005, you could be fined by your local council if your home and yard promotes the breeding of mosquitoes.

The importance of skin-to-skin contact

Scientific research has shown many measurable health benefits from engaging in physical contact. Join Sylwia Moore, Butterfly Touch massage practitioner, as she delves into the surprising rewards of one of our most primal senses.

Stimulating touch receptors under the skin can have amazing impacts on emotional, mental and physical health.

Learn how a simple human touch can improve the immune system, relieve stress or depression and assist with digestive issues.

To discover creative ways to boost your daily dose of human touch, head to your local library for a free workshop in Maleny on Monday, December 2, at 2pm and Beerwah on Wednesday, December 4, at 10am.

The workshop is free to attend but registration is essential. Booking can be made via https://library.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/Whats-On or phone 5475 8989.

Friday 8pm 22 Nov, 13 Dec 36

While respected reviewers generally avoid using the word masterpiece, the m word has been frequently applied to 'Parasite'.

This imaginative, difficult-to-define film has broken new ground and won the prestigious Palme d'Or at Cannes this year, the first ever for South Korea. Many critics believe that Bong Joon-ho (who also wrote the script) deserves to be elevated to the international status of illustrious directors - Scorsese, Kubrick, et al. At its heart, 'Parasite' is the story of two families - the destitute Kim family and the wealthy Park family. The Kims (mother, father, teenage son and 20-something daughter) live in cockroach-infested poverty while the Parks (mother, father, son and daughter) live in splendid opulence.

But the pampered Parks are unbelievably gullible, making them ripe for the picking by the wannabe Kims. So the Kim family systematically insinuates itself into the Park family's gated mansion, posing variously as tutor, art therapist, housekeeper and chauffeur. This drama/satire/ comedy/mystery moves seamlessly and, at times, disturbingly, across genres. 'Parasite' is a film about many things but mostly it's about human greed and class discrimination. It poses the question: Who are the parasites in modern society? Is it the poor who attach themselves to the rich in order to survive? Is it the rich who exploit the poor? Or is it the system that depends on the interaction between the rich and the poor in order to function? Be aware that, while there are elements of comedy, there are also horror scenes involving violence.

Come along and decide for yourself: is 'Parasite' a modern masterpiece?

When: Saturday, November 16 Where: Maleny Community Centre, Maple Sreet Food and Drinks: Dinner 6-7 catered by Claude's Food. Tea/coffee and homemade slices stand, drinks available from cash bar. Doors open at 6pm Movie: Screens from 7.15pm, running time 131 mins.

Business feature

Prime shop front available in Landsborough and Beerwah If your business has outgrown its current premises and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to expand to get the best out of a shopfront location, leveraging on the rapid growth of the hinterland region, look no further! Two prime commercial shop fronts are looking for the perfect tenants to help their business grow. Located in Landsborough and Beerwah, both properties are multi-use dwellings and have previously been used for the successful growth of a number of business structures. New tenants will be dealing directly with the property owners, Eck and Helen Steinhofer, who are successful business owners. Eck and Helen said they were excited to be able to help new tenants get the best of the space and are happy to negotiate with tenants regarding terms of the lease to help with the initial set-up and ongoing running. Seeing existing and new businesses succeed is important to the Steinhofers and they are eager to help their tenants get the best out of the space and to develop a long-term relationship.

In the gateway to the hinterland, shop 4, 4 Mill

Street, Landsborough is positioned perfectly in close proximity to IGA, a chemist, doctors, accountants and Australia Post. The 72m2 space has an open plan layout and is in excellent condition featuring air conditioning, two-door access and kitchenette. With great signage available and excellent foot traffic, this space would ideally suit a medical facility, office or retail operation.

The relocation of a gym in Beerwah opens up the opportunity for a new tenant to utilise the large 141m2 dwelling, located in Turner Park Shopping Centre.

Every year, gardening gurus predict what the new must-have garden trend will be for the coming year.

Let’s have a look at what 'Better Homes and Gardens' predicted for 2019 and you can see how on-trend I’ve been, and score yourself while you’re at it.

Ferns as house plants: I’ve got a big pot of a cascading Boston fern ... but I’ve had that for about five years so I’m way ahead of the trend on that one.

Gardening by the moon: This age-old technique uses the phases of the moon to guide what you should be planting in the garden. Although I’m not convinced many are, and who am I to dismiss something that’s been used for a few millennia.

DIY greenhouse kits: Have you invested in one this year? Sometimes I wish I had, especially when the king parrots have just eaten my tomatoes and the fruit fly have found my cucumbers. Cucumbers! Can’t they just leave one thing alone?

Fun and colourful foliage: Fun foliage? Colourful I get – but fun? I think I’ve missed the boat on this trend.

Smart gardening: No, it’s not planning the layout better, it’s actually about using smart technology. 'Better Homes and Gardens' suggested that robots would be the big thing in gardens in 2019.

Not sure if this is for me.

Sitting there listening to the cricket while potting up some seedlings is my escape time and I don’t want some android enjoying themselves … I want them to make my lunch. And another thing - when are we getting flying cars?

Looks like I’m just as untrendy as I was in 2018. Here’s hoping the trendy thing for 2020 is just enjoying being in the garden.

Peachester Garden Club

Contributed by Trish Bradford A mention was made about Tic Davis’s open garden at Glass House Mountains on October 19-20, which was well worth a visit. Suella Lanceley also reported on her visit to The Shambles open garden at Montville, which is looked after on limited water.

Trish Bradford shared photos of her visit to the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers and Rob Morris showed off a collection of Euphorbias (crown of thorns) and had cuttings available, which are easy to grow, like the dry and flower almost continually.

Results of the competition bench for September were first place Trish Bradford on 19 points and second place was Pam Innes on 17 points.

Thanks to John and Pam Innes for allowing us to share lunch in their delightful garden. A great finish to an interesting and informative day.

We also paid tribute to Gordon Howitt, a former member, who passed away recently.

Next meeting, the final one for the year, is on Thursday, November 21 at 9am in the garden of Trish and Gary Bradford.

Bring along a chair and meat for a barbeque lunch. Usual competition bench and if you grow Salvias, bring along some samples for show. Visitors and new members always welcome. For more information phone 5496 9169.

We will combine with the CWA for our Christmas breakup on November 28 at Peachester Hall. Instead of a secret Santa, we will each donate $10 to a local charity.

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

Sport Maleny Bowls Club Contributed by Graeme Glover What a great week with bowls and plum puddings being the major focus for another great day at the club.

Wednesday night was a big night with 42 bowlers all enjoying some great bowls and fun. They were then quickly shuffled out by our main plum pudding person Kay Gesch to get set up for the big day on Thursday.

Remember, like Christmas presents, our prizes have been skilfully made and wrapped waiting to be presented to the lucky winners of games or raffles on the day. The day arrived so did bowlers from all over the hinterland and Sunshine Coast.

Great weather for all including the beautifully prepared green and gardens that greeted our visitors. They gave high praise to all aspects of the event with many vowing to definitely return.

The winners were from Kawana club with Aileen Duckett being well supported by her team in both games. Runners up were Sue Kuskey and her team from Pelican Waters.

What a great day. Thanks to games director for the day Jim Weidman who kept his cool as the bowlers managed both the green and heat, producing another wonderful chapter in plum pudding day, being a great success of fun and mateship for all involved. Well done all members of Maleny Bowls Club who assisted in any stage of production for this fun annual event – take a bow.

Post plum pudding day on Friday there was a smaller numbers at scroungers. Some great

Witta Tennis

The winning team on plum pudding day – Aileen Duckett, Carol Blake, Debbie Dalliston and Cheryl Evans being congratulated by club chair Graeme Glover games were held with the rink winners coming under the watchful eye of the handicapper.

Congratulations to our weekly winners Kathy King, Dennis Kyling, Wendy Bulger and Jim King.

A big thank you to those folks who travelled and represented the club with success at Mapleton - Joe Walters, Jim Weidman, Ian Dickson and Graeme Glover. A reminder to all get your teams in for our monthly pairs at Maleny on Monday, November 24.

If you have ever wondered about how plum pudding day at Maleny Bowls Club got started, you will be able to learn more in the November 20 issue of GC&M News in the Christmas News section.

Just for Laughs A second opinion

ARIES March 21 - April 20 The Full Moon is falling across your financial sectors asking you to bring your full attention to an urgent matter. Shrewd insights help you to re-establish sound principles and plans for fiscal growth and security. It is easy to feel let down or disappointed if any romantic infatuation does not have substance. Difficult planets for you at this time.

TAURUS April 21 – May 21 You could reach an important turning point concerning a key relationship or in connection with some ongoing negotiation or consultation. Keep a firm grip on your spending, count your change in receipts and watch your belongings! The planets do indicate that thievery is a possibility. An early crisis or drama blows over quickly now.

GEMINI May 22 - June 23 Your intuition is spot on this week as you have a keen understanding of the whys and wherefores of the current situation.

Use this week to make good progress on a working financial arrangement. A good pat on the back is now due to you.

Don’t be humble, smile gratefully and say “thank you”. Allow yourself to enjoy the recognition.

CANCER June 24 - July 22 Early this week the Full Moon was conjunct the asteroid, Vesta, which to you means fertility, creativity, prosperity and devotion.

Qualities this week then imbue with friendship, love, children and creativity.

Do not be tempted to waste money on excessive eating and drinking. Some friends are excessive in their enthusiasm without facts.

A little boy was brought into the emergency room after ingesting part of a plug-in air freshener. After consulting poisons information and monitoring him, the doctor wrote on his discharge: "Patient doing well. Ready to go home. Smells good."

with Edgar J. Winter www.astroclairvoyant.com

LEO July 23 – August 22 Self-empowerment helps you focus your energies as well as the resources of others, making you a prime candidate for achievement and advancement. By the weekend you should stick with someone who is tried and true if you need any repairs or alterations of any sort. The weekend has some hidden gestures of affection and support.

VIRGO August 23 – September 22 Your relationships with family members are especially good around the middle of the month and you are moved to reconnect with a dear one. Once Mercury turns direct on November 20, communication will begin to clear up nicely. Prior to that you may not have all the information you need for an honest appraisal. Keep constructive.

LIBRA September 23 - October 22 This week you are seeing what needs to be done and assessing your capital. It is building up to be a talkative weekend and that does wear you out somewhat. What you have to do is see that everything has the possibility of some flaws but have faith in the positive future, as things may work out well for you. Warm affection.

SCORPIO October 23 - November 22 This week you may be feeling extremely generous towards your nearest and dearest. Nevertheless do not let anybody take advantage of you, especially mid-month when seeing things clearly are still difficult under current planetary retrogrades. The weekend may see a quick change of mind so do not be too quick to make any permanent decision.

SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 The most attractive planet, they say, is Venus, and it will spend most of this month in your sign and in your sector of personality. This should end up with a few new admirers and whole lot more friends but this is depending upon you putting yourself out there! Remember to take breaks every now and then. Find time to have some fun.

CAPRICORN December 23 - January 19 The planets indicate a very heavy time at present as we have not seen such a configuration of heaviness for around 500 years! Therefore, if possible, you are to seek some sort of escapism. The weekend has the usual challenges but try not to spoil it by forcing issues with your loved ones. Your social life moves into an active mode now.

AQUARIUS January 20 - February 19 Smart ideas and leadership qualities help you advance on your business scene.

You will be also very intuitive increasing mutual understanding with your friends and relatives. A group activity seems to be centered around you this weekend and others find you supportive and appreciative. Hopefully the weekend provides tender family moments.

PISCES February 20 - March 20 With the arrangement of planets in reverse, and thanks to sociable Venus in outgoing Sagittarius energies, you may run into more than one friend or relationship from the distant past. There does seem to be a quick stroll down memory lane mid-month right up to the New Moon in Sagittarius on the 26th. Sticking to the facts protects you from fairy tales!

Discover your place in the Stars! Find your lucky cities, national or overseas.

Lenny tells the psychiatrist: “Every time I get into bed, I think there’s somebody under it.”

The psychiatrist says: “Come to me three times a week for two years and I’ll cure your fears. And I’ll charge you only $200 a visit.”

Lenny says he’ll think about it. Six months later, he runs into the shrink who asks why he never came back. “For $200 a visit?” Lenny says. “A bartender cured me for $10.”
