his edition marks another milestone for GCNews as we are celebrating another year making it Glasshouse Country’s Best Community Newspaper for the past 28 years.

You know what they say – you have to believe in yourself so we like to set ourselves the target of being the best!

Our benchmark isn’t about receiving trophies or awards (although we are always happy to accept them!) but we like to be able to measure the amount we contribute back into the community as the measure of our success.

In the last three years, we have provided in-kind sponsorship of approximately $60,000.00 to local community groups, sporting clubs, school P&C’s, and community events.

Last year one of the biggest events we were a major sponsor for was the Glasshouse Country Festival, and again this year we plan on being heavily involved.

In this edition you will see a number of ads that we have supported either free of charge or at significantly reduced advertising rates.

This week’s ads are Rotary Photographic Competition, Big Night Out, The Maleny Show and Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue.

So a big thank you to all the businesses that support us that enable us to support the community!

Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue Centre Charity family fun day 10.00am until 4.00pm. Entry $5.00 per person or $18.00 per family.

Heaps of free activities, jumping castle, face painting, giant slide, yummy food, awesome raffle prizes, music, mediation, lucky dips, wildlife presentations and lots more.

Students going ‘bats’ at Beerwah High

12/60 Simpson Street, BEERWAH

When the call went out for zombies, werewolves and frankenstein’s monsters for this year’s school musical at Beerwah High, there was a very excited response.

Students successful in the audition process have been rehearsing hard for most of Term 1 in order to strut their stuff on Thursday, May 22 and Friday, May 23 in the musical comedy, ‘Bats’.

Shaylie Brown dominates the stage in her portrayal of a pushy Hollywood director and Josh Topfer plays Mr Dracula’s medical student son who comes home and to his horror, finds the place filled with townspeople pretending to be monsters.

Look out for Corey Wallace in his role as the enterprising bank manager, while Jordan Dron and Nic Torr provide an amusing portrayal of the bickering Mr and Mrs Dracula.

Isaac Shepherdson is the hilarious Inspector of Police, and not to be outdone, Isaac Whan and Sharlie Dal Broi take stupidity to a new level with their very silly characters of Nosher and Nasher.

See Luke Jones as you’ve never seen him before as the imposing original Count Dracula and Josh Lammeretz as the shuffling faithful servant, Igor. Of course there will be some cameo roles

Paula and Bridgette Powers (affectionately known as the Twinnies) have for the last 16 years, provided a 24/7 local rescue and rehabilitation service for Australian native birds.

Renowned for their rehabilitation work with Pelicans, people throughout Australia contact the Twinnies seeking care and advice for injured birds. Although they predominantly specialise in seabirds, they never turn away any injured animal from their not-for-profit, volunteer run organisation.

At the moment, they are operating on borrowed time as the land they have worked from for the last three and a half years is up for sale. After approaching all levels of government from local through to federal for assistance in purchasing the land to continue the service – no one could help.

So the family has decided to put it out to the people to support and assist in raising the $465,000 needed to purchase the Rehabilitation Centre. Their hope is to buy the land, set up a permanent wildlife legacy that includes more carers and volunteers and ensure that the land belongs to wildlife for eternity.

Already the Twinnies have received an incredible anonymous donation of $150,000 towards securing this goal. All they know is that an older couple familiar with their rescue work have generously donated all their life savings towards this cause.

In a bid to continue to raise the money, a number of fundraising activities throughout the year have been planned including a fundraising auction on Friday, June 6 at the Maleny RSL. Hoping for some ‘people power’ they have also signed up to givenow.com.au which enables secure donations that are tax deductable.

Another incentive is to encourage supporters to enter the Dick Smith Foundation charity allocation (where $1 million dollars has been pledged this year) and nominate Twinnies Seabird and Rescue.

The Twinnies are looking forward to the Charity Family Fun Day Next Sunday, May 18, along with Tegan, Kathy and Wayne Lather from Wildlife Emergency they will be holding a Charity Family Fun Day from 10.00am – 4.00pm. They are hoping to raise $10,000 and the event promises to be a jam packed day filled with activities. On offer during the day is face painting, body tattoos, hay rides, a jumping castle, giant slide, tasty refreshments, laser tag, lucky dips, Broncos Cap and footy raffle, 1770 Paradise Tour raffle, Tree of Hope, guessing competition, Snake and Reptile Photo encounter, Raptor Encounter, Herbie with Herbie Derbie and much more.

With thanks to major sponsor Bunnings along with a raft of coastal business’s offering support and prizes, come and join in the fun for a great cause.

Entry is $5.00 per person or $18.00 per family.

Is your pregnancy causing pain or discomfort?

We’ve all heard of the ‘pregnancy glow’. It’s that magical time when expectant mothers are preparing to bring a new life into the world.

Unfortunately, not all women feel so magical during this time.

Back pain, tingling down the legs, reflux, and soreness between the shoulders are all things that regularly accompany pregnancy, leaving mothersto-be feeling not as amazing as they hoped!

Additionally, these discomforts can be signs of ‘intra-uterine constraint’. Pelvic misalignment causes the tightening and torsion of muscles and ligaments, which can have a constraining effect on the uterus and prevent the baby from comfortably assuming the best possible position for birth.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you may be suffering from Spinal Subluxation, the term chiropractors use to describe spinal vertebrae that are dysfunctional or “locked up”. A good chiropractor works with you to 4

‘unlock’ the vertebra that are out of alignment so your body can then adjust to a new, healthier position.

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that balances pelvic structures, muscles and ligaments and reduces interference to the nervous system.

This has been shown to reduce torsion in the uterus, allowing optimal foetal positioning in preparation for birth.

It is recommended by the International Chiropractic Paediatric Association that this specific analysis and adjustment of the sacrum be used throughout pregnancy, to detect imbalance and optimise pelvic biomechanics in preparation for safer, easier births.

Because of the effect the chiropractic adjustment has on all body functions by reducing nerve system stress, pregnant mothers should have their spines checked regularly throughout pregnancy, optimising health

Colour 4 Cancer

Win prize fanily packs for the Maleny Show

Landsborough twin sisters, Tegan and Erin Hickey have, like many lives in our community, been touched by cancer.

They know how important it is that the community continue to rally and support the Cancer Council Queensland to help raise funds for cancer research.

Erin, was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma about a week after the girls turned 17. It started innocently enough, a bump near her collar bone; she thought it was a simple break, a sports injury from an earlier football game. The truth was much worse.

Tegan said it was a cancerous lump; diagnosis finally came through after about a month of research and testing.

None of us wanted to think it was actually cancer, but I guess in the end all of us had the idea in our heads, forming slowly, though none of us wanted to mention it out loud, she said.

“You see, Erin and I were both starting our last year at Beerwah High School when Erin was diagnosed,” said Tegan.

“I was so excited, we were finally going to finish the adventure we had started 12 years ago, at least that was what the plan had been.

“And then it changed dramatically. While she was at doctor’s appointments, or getting chemo, I was stuck sitting through math lessons and english, trying to concentrate while worrying about how Erin was doing,” she said.

Tegan looks back on that time and describes

herself as being 'a mess', she felt totally lost, and realises just how strong and determined that Erin was. Fortunately Erin has been in remission for nearly three years and the girls are focusing their energies on fundraising.

The girls describe ‘Colour for Cancer’ as dying their hair, the colours that appear on the cancer support ribbons to raise money for foundations.

Colour 4 Cancer is a public event, taking place at the Beerwah Pub, on May 17 at 2.30pm. There will be a raffle held with a nice goodie basket, while the hair dye works its magic. Tickets will be $1.00. They also have a Facebook page, just search: Colour For Cancer and give it a like, all the information you need will be on the page.

The girls hope to see as many happy faces as possible.

The first ‘Kid’s Market’ was held recently at Mooloolah on a sunny Sunday morning and featured 65 Stalls, each of which were run by kids. The successful event was the brain child of 11-year-old local, Zoe Barwick.

Stall holders included the Young Buddies Support Group - who had a space set up so that kids could draw pictures to be sent to asylum seekers in Brisbane and Manus Island.

Other stall holders included a bush lemonade stand, homemade West African ginger beer, East African Chai tea, second hand toys/books/ clothes/video games, potted plants, awesome crafts, hand crafted and loop band jewellery, fairy eggs, helium balloons, art, lots of baked goodies, cookies, organic popcorn, honey, cupcakes, lemon tarts, mini pizza’s, cakes and even included homemade dog biscuits!

James and William's 'World of Awsomeness'

Organiser Zoe and Isaac Barwick selling South African Ginger Beer Another highlight was a live performance by the Mooloolah School Spanish Dancers who really gave the markets an especially festive feeling in their bright coloured skirts.

Zoe’s mum Jessica Raintree said the community support for this event was fantastic with Mooloolah IGA paying for a huge Jumping Castle, and Mitre 10 providing a generator for the jumping castle as well as spray paint and materials for the kid's market signs.

David Terry represented the Landsborough scouts and used his mapping skills to put together a site plan for them.

Local kids and families helped with painting the signs and putting them up around the place.

The Lions Club did a sausage sizzle and the Community Centre got behind the event and supported the event with insurances and other paperwork.

“I think everyone agreed that it was a fantastic day and the question we have heard most since the event is “when is the next Kid’s Market?”

Jessica said.

A Letter Home

Biggest Morning Tea local events

The latest exhibition at the Landsborough Historical Museum, part of the National Trust’s Heritage Festival for 2014, is ‘A Letter Home’ and highlights the role of migration in shaping the social and cultural life of the local area.

The display uses mannequins and historical items from the museum’s collection to illustrate the lives of the people of the area during the 1890s, the 1920s soldier settlements, through the Greek and Italian migrations of the 1950s and the ‘swinging 60’s’, to the present day.

The exhibition is the product of many hours work by volunteers and friends of the museum, from the discovery of the mannequins in a paddock in Samford Valley two years ago, to the research and design of their costumes and of the five dioramas within which they sit.

Contributed by Helen Wilkinson The Glasshouse Mountains Neighbourhood Centre offers a space for community members and groups to meet and hold events, as well as providing support services to our local community.

Over the years, many of our hall chairs have become worn and broken from use, so we haven't been able to hire the space out to larger groups because of lack of seating. And the less we can hire the hall out, the less emergency relief money we have to offer people in need.

We approached the Beerwah Resource Recovery Centre (aka Beerwah Recycling), who came to our rescue by donating 20 new chairs.

These were delivered last week. Now the Neighbourhood Centre can offer hall hire for up to 50 people! We would like to thank staff and management at the Beerwah Resource Recovery Centre for their quick response to our problem and for their generous donation.

They provide lots of support to our community, in ways many of us probably don’t realise.

If you would like to hire the Glasshouse Mountains Neighbourhood Centre call 5438 700 for information.

The group took the opportunity on Easter Monday to tackle the trachyte track of Mt Tibberroowuccum.

The walking group, in association with the Heart Foundation, meet every weekday at the Beerwah Library at 6.30am.

The walks take in various parts of the area and usually take one hour. Every so often the group will do longer walks, such as Mt Ngungun, the Ewen Maddock Dam walking track, Dularcha National Park and a few more.

Anyone is welcome to join the group.

We were ...

We are now ...

The same Hall family and team have been in solar PV since 1989, originally being based at Howard and now at Glass House since 2002.

Originally in the 1980’s and 90’s, Solar was a cottage industry, working from a garage.

The 10 or so people in the solar industry in Queensland in these formative years were able to cope with the minimal demand.

But now solar is a national industry and has broadened to include energy storage and energy efficiency, neither of which we – as consumers of electricity – cared much about previously, until the price of electricity became close to the house mortgage payment.

So with our 25 years’ experience and knowledge, we have changed our name to All Energy H.Q. This is a move to reflect the future direction of electricity, in which we will showcase the absolute best battery storage system in the civilised world.

The BYD company (with Warren Buffet being a major shareholder) leads the Germans and the Japanese with lithium ion battery technology and development.

So far advanced is the BYD lithium ion battery, that Municipal buses run entirely on these batteries.

Thousands of BYD motor cars run ONLY on these batteries. Most mobile phone batteries for the major phone companies use BYD manufactured batteries.

We are an energy information centre and we will be displaying various energy saving equipment and appliances and will happily come to your house to continue the discussion on how we can save you from spiralling energy bills.

Remember it is not too late to buy a solar system – it will never be too late with the rapid rate at which electricity prices are climbing, and the battery storage combined with your solar system will mean you can almost say goodbye to your electricity bill altogether for at least 20 years (the life of the batteries).

Dogs on show in Beerwah Soup luncheon time Sunshine Coast Kennel Club’s next Dog Shows are on Saturday and Sunday, May 17 and 18 commencing at 4.00pm on Saturday and 8.30am on Sunday. The show on Saturday is a Championship Show.

Judging on Sunday begins at 8.30am with the Open Show and the continuation of the Championship Show getting underway at 9.00am. All events are held at the Beerwah Sportsground, Roberts Road, Beerwah.

Entry is free.

These shows will have seven rings operating simultaneously on Saturday, and 14 rings on Sunday. There will be a very good entry of dogs covering numerous different breeds. Many of these will be the regular favourites but there will also be unusual and rare breeds shown as well.

If you have never seen a Dogue De Bordeaux or a Lagotto Romagnolo, then come along – they have some entered. Judging is alphabetical by breed so Afghan Hounds and Australian Terriers will be on early while Welsh Corgis and Weimaraners will be in the ring later.

The club encourage any and all to come along and enjoy their show. Exhibitors are more than willing to chat about their breeds and the showing is quite amazing and interesting to watch.

There will be ‘doggy product’ stalls and other stalls of interest. Catering is provided at the canteen and also a coffee van on the grounds.

Celebrating Under 8's Week

School News Beerwah dance students shine

Beerwah State High School’s 34 dance students, who have been rehearsing since the beginning of the year, recently performed at the Sunshine Coast Dance Eisteddfod.

The purpose of Dance Company is to improve their technique, performance skills, their ability to work together, and overall to have fun with fellow dance enthusiasts from Years 9 - 12.

Dance Coordinator, Jessica Rossberg said she couldn’t be more proud of them and what they have achieved in what has been a very tough competition.

“They achieved a 1st for their jazz dance and tied 2nd with their contemporary dance,” she said.

“Some have never even performed at an eisteddfod before or seen other schools dance.”

One of the proud parents and school staff member Peter Voigt summed up the evening by saying he’d never been so proud of their school.

“Bias aside, the two performances by our students were simply outstanding,” he said.

“The commitment, timing, emotion, and skill that they infused into their performance was breathtaking, and an absolute credit to the dancing team.

“There were no standouts or tricks by the talented students, both dances offered solid units that performed as one and sold the story.

“While watching our two teams perform, it was easy to forget that they were a group of teenagers who had put everything together in their spare time before/after school.”

So congratulations to the teams and to their teacher Jessica – job well done!

Beerwah State High School's dance students at the Eisteddfod

Contributed by Kylie Merola Landsborough State School is preparing to celebrate this important week by hosting a morning packed full of activities for children under eight years-of-age.

The event is a great forum for young children to shine and to highlight the rich and competent contribution they make to the community.

This year's celebrations will take place on Wednesday, May 21, from 8.45am.

All children, along with their parents, carers and families are invited to come along to the school and join in the fun.

Some of the activities on offer include an animal farm, jumping castle, face painting, disco, mad scientist and much, much more.

The theme this year is ‘Everyone Can Play’.

It is free to attend, however it is essential to RSVP, please contact Landsborough State School on 5436 2777.

Some of the entertainers from last year's Under 8's Week celebration

The partnership continues

Contributed by Ali Marks To celebrate our partnership between Landsborough Community Kindergarten and Cribb Street Butchers the children had their first excursion, walking around to Bob’s shop to personally drop of this week’s delivery of parsley grown by the children in their herb garden at their kindy.

We are again extremely grateful to Bob for his continued support in welcoming our small contribution to his business. The children make fortnightly deliveries of parsley to Bob for his meat displays.

The children brought some delicious sausage rolls (made with herbs from their garden) and some sausages which were cooked when the children got back from their excursion for morning tea and lunch.

The children thought they were the best sausage rolls ever! For enrolment enquiries please call Landsborough Kindergarten on 5494 1248.

GCCC's Open Day - bigger and better than ever This year’s Open Day at Glasshouse Country Christian College is going to be bigger and better than ever!

For the first time GCCC is having a free petting zoo for children in Prep to Year 2. These cuddly critters will be right next to the school’s new Agricultural Science stand.

Introduced in 2014, Agricultural Science is offered to Year 10 students and will be offered to students in Years 11 and 12 in subsequent years.

Another first is a three dimensional Sponge Bob Square Pants jumping castle which is also free to children in Prep to Year 2. There is absolutely no educational reason for this attraction; it just sounded like it would be a lot of fun for all the young ones visiting on the day.

This year there will be more student demonstrations and performances. These will

happen in the theatre, outside the library and in several of the classrooms. A full program of events is on Glasshouse Country Christian College’s website, www.gccc.qld.edu.au on the home page.

Last year there were hot buttered scones with jam and cream, but this year the Hospitality Department is going all out by putting on a free high tea.

If you fancy something more savoury, the wonderful P and F are doing a sausage sizzle or you can purchase a freshly made wood-fired pizza.

Some things are too good to change. GCCC students do a terrific job of leading tour groups, so once again they will be showing off the school’s campus to visitors. There is something quite special learning about a school through the

Business feature

eyes of one of its students.

Once again Open Day will be held on a Saturday, (May 17) between 10.00am to 2.00pm. This allows working families to visit the school at a time that suits them. All of Glasshouse Country Christian College’s teachers will be present on the day. It is this commitment to give up their Saturday that is typical of the dedication teachers bring to educating the students at GCCC. Families with young children are urged to visit the Prep classrooms and ask those important school readiness questions. GCCC Prep teachers have years of experience and are happy to explain the dynamic Prep program.

GCCC’s is still one of the most affordable Christian schools on the Sunshine Coast. Come to Open Day this Saturday between 10.00am and 2.00pm to find out more.

Special invitation for you!

Pensions ... an entitlement?

It's time Aussies did some serious questioning Of how we view our elderly, today; Are they valued pioneers in our nation's growth Or just a hindrance, now they have no more to pay?

Today's pensioners contributed up to 50 years To build (and fund!) the lifestyle we all know today; Then, pensions were seen as a nation's reward For all that they'd done – and paid – along the way.

But now, we're told, the days of ‘entitlement’ are gone, Except for the elite (who make the rules), of course; No ‘user pays’ or having to earn rights, for them It’s luxury benefits still – on the public purse!

Pension levels today below the poverty line Just a quarter of the nation's average wage; This is the reward for all of that toil And destined, it seems, to stay that way!

More restrictions on pensions, lower increases, And we'll all have to work longer ... that's the plan!

But not for our ‘pollies’ and the ruling elite Their ‘entitlements’ grow – and will stand.

While they're chauffeured around in cars paid by us, Their massive ‘super’; and perks OUT of office grow; Retirees can but look on ... not in envy, but disgust At how attitudes to our oldies can change so.

There's something obscene about a system that allows Such a growing gap between public poverty and wealth; Perhaps it's time for a change to the system itself, To accept our obligations to aged welfare and health.

To the ruling elite, the message must be ‘No two sets of rules, anymore;’ Enough is enough ... and if they don't respond, Then ‘next time around’ ... SHOW THEM THE DOOR! Colin Walker Beerburrum

Poochy Poopers

I write in reference to some of the irresponsible pooch owners in the Mooloolah area, that walk their dogs along King Road in the early hours of the day and evening, this road seems to be a dumping ground for their pets ‘previous night’s dinner’.

T’is interesting to watch these people looking around to see if anyone is watching them as the dogs arches its back and drops it’s mess / smelly ‘brown logs’ onto the road or footpath and then not making any attempt to pick it up.

Last Saturday morning I counted nine logs, six in front of the school, pool and kindy and another three further down King Road.

How awful it must be for the mothers to step out of their vehicles and onto one of these smelly logs.

As we all know there is nothing worse than the smell of dog droppings in the car, or on your person. Maybe they should all band together and scoop the ‘poop’ up and return them back to their rightful owners.

It would be great for Council to impose a hefty fine on these irresponsible pooch owners.

Trucks, please slow down

Last week I was very pleased to see a police speed trap at Glass House Mountains State School as I have been trying to get attention put onto this issue for quite some time.

I decided to go over to the police and thank them for turning up and to make sure that they were looking at the issue of speeding trucks that has become more dangerous recently.

To my horror and dismay I was told that the officer with the speed gun had just clocked a speeding truck at 48km in the 40km zone and that at his discretion he decided not to book that truck for speeding because his equipment had a 2km error rate, so he felt it was fair not to record the offence.

I then asked why he would let that truck off even though he was still at least 6kms over if you take into account this equipment error.

He was without an answer. No doubt if it had been a car and easier to pull over, he would more than likely have booked the car.

What I haven't seen ever is a truck pulled over on Coonowrin Road – why is that?

The trucks were going a lot slower this morning – I assume that they radio each other to avoid the police up ahead.

I have previously put this issue to Andrew Powell who advised that it was ‘not appropriate for him to get involved’.

Why is everyone who should fix this problem looking the other way?

Do we need to lose a child’s life for the police to do their job properly?

Also I would like to know where did our flashing lights go?

Concerned Parent Glass House Mountains

Editors note

We put some of the concerns raised in the above letter to the member for Glass House, Andrew Powell and this is his response.

‘I have been working with the Beerwah Police Station for the past few months on the issue of trucks and other vehicles speeding through the school zone outside Glass House Mountains State School, after having received enquiries from a number of residents.

I have never advised that I was not able to assist with this issue; on the contrary I advised my constituents who enquired that I would need to work with local police, as I am doing.

The officers maintain a strong presence at the school zone, however we realise that this is not fully addressing the issue. I understand that they are currently pursuing alternative methods of speed detection and penalty enforcement.

The flashing lights in the Glass House Mountains school zone were installed by the then Caloundra City Council over a decade ago. When the signs became in need of renewal, council consulted extensively with a number of community leaders over whether replacements were needed, or if they could simply be removed as the cost of replacement was quite high. Members of the school and wider community agreed that the lights did not need to be replaced.’

Andrew Powell Member for Glass House

To all the lovely people that helped my daughter and myself on Thursday, May 1, when our new young horse got out of the enclosure on Coonowrin Road and headed up to Old Gympie Road.

Thank you so much for your assistance, he has now settled into his new paddock and has recovered.

Thank you.

Halls Creek concern

Recently in an article from the local Chamber of Commerce, concern was expressed about the effect of further development down from Caloundra South on the long-term viability of business in the towns of the railway corridor.

The investment needed for infrastructure for such development, spent instead in the railway corridor, would be a revitalising influence and provide much-needed services. Whereas any large-scale projects alongside the Pumicestone passage has to have environmental impact on the water quality of the Passage. There are two major issues at stake here - the survival of local businesses, doing it tough right now, and the survival of Pumicestone passage as a local environmental treasure. Neither of these issues should be on the back burner, especially for our local representatives. Quite frankly, recent events here and interstate make me just a bit cynical as to the outcome when the interest of the average citizen comes up against the influence and money of developers. It would be good if the little bloke could win occasionally.

Pam Lever Glass House Mountains

What will the outcome be?

Reported in the news is that all benefits are reduced, but stopping youth services entitlements until they are 25 must be looked at seriously.

Over 65 to 70 means less jobs available.

No benefits to a 16-year-old means the family cannot cope, they can't give their child school needs, they can't give them pocket money, so what are they going to do?

They are going to steal aren't they?

Crime becomes rampant to the family, trying to pay for the other three kids around the same age makes them a victim of poverty.

I'm a swinging voter but believe it would be in the best interest of this country to execute the same ‘disillusionment of government’ as was in the Whitlam days!

I sincerely hope that the Greens and PUP are looking into this.

Division 5 Councillor Sunshine Coast Council M: 0409 450 726 New trail unveiled

It was with much pleasure I, along with Joan Horgan from Friends of Maroochy Bushland Botanic Gardens, unveiled the exciting new bushwalk at the gardens, adding a new experience to the extensive network of walking trails.

The new 1.6 km long upland bushwalk leads fit and experienced walkers across serene creek crossings and steep forest slopes and complements beautifully with the current 5.7 km of paths and trails which help visitors explore and appreciate the garden’s diverse bushland environments including wetlands, fern glades, forests and rocky creeks.

More great news for visitors to the gardens is that a new mobile site is being finalised that will provide information and background about the centre’s sculpture gardens directly to an individual’s mobile device.

National Simultaneous Storytime

Families are invited to join thousands of other children across Australia to celebrate National Simultaneous Storytime at 11.00am on Wednesday, May 21 at Sunshine Coast Council library branches.

National Simultaneous Storytime is an important annual campaign that aims to encourage more young Australians to read and enjoy books. For more details, visit your local Sunshine Coast Library in person or head to council’s library website.

Community Wild Dog Baiting Program May 5 - June 6

Council, in partnership with Bio-security Queensland, is supporting a community based coordinated Wild Dog Baiting Program. Failure to control wild dogs can result in livestock losses, attacks on domestic pets and the loss of native fauna. Landholders have a legislative responsibility to control declared pests on their land and participation in this program is an effective way to help meet this responsibility.

Areas included in the program being run on private property include Bald Knob, Beerburrum, Beerwah, Bells Creek, Coochin Creek, Crohamhurst, Elaman Creek, Maleny, Peachester, Wootha, and Yandina Creek. For further information please contact council on 5475 7272.

With the colder weather approaching some of our loved pets may start to suffer some arthritic aches and pains.

There are many simple things we can add to their food that may help them through these times.

Ginger and Turmeric are two easily accessible spices which will help improve their mobility.

We often also advise giving glucosamine powder, MSM powder (methylsulfonamide methane) and Green Lipped Muscle extract, as these components together improve joint fluid.

We have all these products in stock along with many homoeopathic remedies which would also assist in keeping your pet mobile.

Other ways to ensure they are warm during winter is to add a blanket to their bedding and raising their bed up off the ground if possible.

Popping a coat on at night or anytime the chilly winds blow will also keep them cosy.

We have some very fashionable and functional ones here at the practice so drop in and have a look.

We believe that every pet that entrusts their care to us is unique, therefore feel free to call for a consultation where we will tailor a personalised program for your pet.

The RSPCA’s TOP 10 quirky animal cruelty call outs that weren’t RSPCA Inspectors take every job very seriously, but sometimes all is not as it seems.

1. A person called about an abandoned goat that had been left unfed for days, which was actually an abandoned mattress in a paddock.

2. A man rang about his dog which had been ‘hexed’ by his neighbour to attack him when he said a certain word. He wanted the RSPCA to “find out the word from his dog.”

3. A woman rang in anger to complain that her neighbours had left their white Bulldog in a yard without shade and when she left a note in their mailbox telling them to provide their dog shelter; they had put up a beach umbrella for the dog.

The dog was a statue.

4. A highly distressed woman called about a mini crocodile in her backyard which was threatening the lives of her children. After receiving a photograph from the caller the animal was identified as a blue-tongue lizard.

5. An inspector went to rescue a bird that was heard trapped in the roof for a number of days.

It was in fact the smoke alarm battery signal to change the battery.

6. A caller rang about a cockatoo that was so stressed in its small cage that it would not move.

An inspector found an ornamental bird in a cage.

7. A gentleman called from a supermarket and said he was in the presence of an animal killer.

Someone was buying head lice treatment.

8. Two security dogs had managed to get themselves ‘tangled’ on a tether. When the Inspector arrived at the property both dogs came running out without any problems. The Inspector had to explain to the informant the process of dog mating.

9. A woman rang at 10.00pm worried that a

possum up a tree may not be able to get down.

10. Several complaints of two cows in a paddock with no shelter. These are two steel cows in a field just outside of the town of Nowra on the NSW South Coast.

There is a very serious side to this however. Last financial year the RSPCA NSW Call Centre received over 14,600 calls made by concerned members of the community reporting cases of animal cruelty.

“Keeping an RSPCA Inspector on the road fighting animal cruelty costs $450.00 a day which is why the RSPCA is calling on all pet lovers to come out and support our annual Million Paws Walk on Sunday, May 18,” said Steve Coleman, RSPCA NSW CEO. Fundraising is an essential component of the Million Paws Walk and this year RSPCA NSW hopes to raise $300,000 to assist the 30,000+ animals that it cares for each year.

“The best part about all the Million Paws Walk events around the state is that funds raised stay in the local community to assist the RSPCA Volunteer Branches and regional shelters to take care of local animals,” Steve added.

For information about all the RSPCA Million Paws Walk events happening right around Australia, and to register, visit millionpawswalk.com.au and start fundraising to help animals in need.

Bullock powered Timber Waggon

National Simultaneous Storytelling Time Celebrate National Simultaneous Storytelling time on Wednesday, May 21 from 10.45am at the Beerwah Library. Libraries and schools across Australia will be reading the same book at the same time. Get ready for some gigantic elephant fun! Staff will be reading ‘Too Many Elephants in this House’

by Ursula Dubosarsky.

This is an interactive story time and craft suitable for children under eight years. Attending is free, however bookings are essential, phone 1300 542 727.

The timber waggon, located under an old shed at the back of the Bankfoot House property, has recently undergone extensive preservation and restoration work.

The original working vehicle was owned by William Smith Burgess of Bankfoot House and was used to ‘snig’ logs from local bushland and transport to the nearest sawmill. This waggon, like many others of its time, was driven by a ‘Bullocky’ who controlled up to 20 bullocks linked with yokes and chains. The ‘Bullocky’ usually walked beside the team on the near or left side and carried a long handled whip with an eight foot lash.

The Burgess waggon was last used in the mid-1930s when the Great Depression left ‘Bullockies’ without an income and they could not afford to keep their bullock teams. The earliest forge mark on the axles of this waggon show a manufacturing date of 1907. The waggon was originally painted with a mix of linseed oil and red lead oxide paint.

Some restoration of the waggon was carried out by the Ferris family in 1980 when the centre pole and caps on the bolsters were replaced and repainted. Much of the metal hardware has since been cleaned and preserved by the Friends of Bankfoot House. The Sunshine Coast Council, thanks to cultural heritage levy funding, recently arranged for the wheels to be restored and repainted by a wheelwright. Several new wooden spokes and fellies were custom-made to replace those components eaten out by white-ants.

The restored timber waggon and other historic objects in the Bankfoot House collection are expected to be on public display towards the end of 2014.

Note: Waggon is intentionally spelt this way.

Health Matters with Braxton Turnage

Osteoarthritis: Causes and Prevention

Doctor of Chiropractic

When joints are overused and misused, the cushioning cartilage that protects the joint breaks down, resulting in osteoarthritis. This can happen to any joint in the body, but most commonly in the knees, hips, spine and hands.

The medical approach to arthritis revolves around medications that reduce the inflammation and ultimately surgery if things are bad enough.

Unfortunately this approach is only a treatment, once the condition has already occurred.

So what can you do to either prevent or reduce the effects of arthritis?

Eat Well: With any chronic condition, what we eat and drink is extremely important. Firstly being overweight will add stress to the bones and joints.

Additionally, our body utilises the minerals, vitamins and protein it derives from the foods we eat to repair itself from day to day trauma.

There are also dietary supplements for arthritis sufferers. Chondroitin can draw fluid into the cartilage, improving shock-absorbing ability. Fish oils help with controlling inflammation in the body and glucosamine is effective for the long-term relief of osteoarthritis pain.

Move Well: Exercise in general is vital in preventing or delaying the onset of arthritis. Our bodies are designed to move, and our joints are designed to move through their full range of motion regularly. A few types of exercise that are very beneficial are vigorous walking, yoga, pilates, swimming, cross training and water aerobics. Please consult with your health practitioner before beginning any exercise regime.

Sleep Well: Our body heals and repairs itself at night. Thus reduced sleep time equates to reduce healing time. Things that reduce good sleep are: stress, caffeine, alcohol, medications, digesting heavy meals and shift work.

Poor sleeping posture (like sleeping on your stomach) and inappropriate bedding (mattress and pillows) can also cause and increase arthritis.

Arthritis, like any disease, is a sign our body is not functioning properly.

Treating the symptoms of arthritis may offer you pain relief but will never improve your situation, only prolong its duration.

Focusing on the cause and helping your body to heal itself will prevent arthritis from happening in the first place and give you the best outcome for a healthier and productive life.

Happenings Out and About Kid’s Market a roaring success!

Local Mooloolah girl, Zoe Barwick aged 11, wanted to have her own market stall as she really wanted to earn some extra pocket money. Finding no markets that were particularly friendly to this idea (too expensive and issues with insurance) she decided to start her own Kid’s Market.

With the help of her mum and plenty of support from the local community the first market was held at Martin Rungert Park in Mooloolah on May 4. See story page 8.

War has been declared on the Sunshine Coast and the region’s worst weeds are the targets.

The ‘War on Weeds’ is taking place throughout May, as residents swap weeds from their gardens for free native trees. Environment Portfolio Councillor Jenny McKay said the weed swaps were underway right across the region.

The two local events are at Beerwah on Friday, May 16 from 10.30am – 11.30am at the back of Caralan Way / Emma Place Park (off Roberts Road) at Beerwah. Then at Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve, on Tuesday, May 20 from 9.00am – 11.00am at 148 Mountain View Road, Maleny.

“The ‘War on Weeds’ is part of council’s Community Nature Conservation Program that assists local volunteer groups in their work restoring bushland, wetlands, coastal foreshores and waterways projects across the Sunshine Coast,” she said.

“It represents an ongoing partnership between council and the community in protecting and enhancing biodiversity on council owned land at the local level through actively involving and engaging volunteers in habitat restoration.

“Hundreds of volunteers will be undertaking ‘working bees’ at the various weed swap sites across the region and providing useful advice to residents who turn up to swap their weeds for native trees.”

Cr McKay said the ‘War on Weeds’ was a fantastic opportunity for residents to play an active role in improving their local environment.

“Over 70% of the invasive environmental weeds in South East Queensland are actually escaped garden weeds,” she said.

“Everyone has a role to play in looking after our environment and removing weeds from the garden and replacing them with native trees is one great way to make a positive contribution.

Information on locations, dates and times for weed swaps is available on council’s website. Posters are also on display in local libraries and council’s customer service centres.

POSITRACK & EXCAVATOR FOR HIRE WITH OPERATOR

M.R.W.L. Inc Plant of the Month

Harpullia pendula This is a small to medium sized hardy and fast growing tree and with its dense shady crown is an excellent specimen plant that is suitable to plant in a variety of soils. It is found in drier rainforest regions from mid New South Wales to Cairns in north Queensland and as a result is used as a street tree, although it needs protection from frost when young. Tulipwood is a hardy tree that tolerates full sun.

Although Harpullia pendula can reach a height of 15-20m it is usually found to be 10 metres tall. A stunning feature of this tree is the seed pods which are a two lobed capsule, orange/red in colour with shining attractive black seeds within the capsule. These are a food source for the King Parrot, Speckled Line-blue and Bright Cornelian butterfly.

Chris Johnson Glasshouse Country Baptist Church

Facing life A couple of years ago Archaeologists discovered Apollo’s temple in Hierapolis Greece. Hierapolis is mentioned a couple of times in the bible. For those familiar with the Bible, it supplied the luke warm water to Laodicea, it also is the final resting place of the apostle Thomas.

According to ancient eye-witness reports, Apollo’s temple was an impressive place to visit.

A priest of Apollo would take a huge beast like an ox or a bull and would start descending into a cave. In a short while the ox would drop dead and the priest would emerge from the cave either unscathed or touched by the god.

As they uncovered the temple, and exposed this cave a couple of birds landed next to it - and died. They figured out that running underneath this temple was an underground fissure of poisonous volcanic gas. Since it is heavier than air, the gas hung around the bottom of the cave and since that is where the snout of the beast was, it breathed in the gas while the priest who stood higher breathed air.

You can imagine how scared people were of the underworld and the gods, after all look at what they can do!

It’s into this region that Paul writes to a group of Christians in a small town named Colossae. He writes to say don’t worry, Jesus is bigger than all this. As a matter of fact Jesus is the creator who GLASSHOUSE COUNTRY

Hierapolis excavation Digital reconstruction made everything – even the underworld gods (if there was such a thing). Everything has been made by Jesus, for Jesus. He is the one who holds the universe together.

So don’t be frightened, be encouraged and strengthened in your faith in Jesus.

Today so much of the world seems like a scary place. People get sick, they face personal problems, we read the papers and it seems like there is a world out of control.

That’s why we need to hear Paul’s reminder that as sad as this is, we need to remember that Jesus is much bigger than all of this. That’s why we should follow and trust Him.

Blood, Sweat & Cheers Your guide to sport in Glasshouse Country

Beerwah State School Cross Country Contributed by Bronwyn Reid The Beerwah State School Cross Country was held on Wednesday, May 7. The day started with the students in Years 4 – 7 competing in a challenging cross country course that took them around the school. The nine-year-old students completed a 1km course. The 10-year-old students completed 2km’s and the 11, 12 and 13-year-olds had to complete a 3km course.

The weather was perfect for running and all competitors were keen to complete the course.

After morning tea, it was time for the Preps – Year 3’s to run their cross country race. It was a wonderful event with all students trying their very best to complete the course.

Beerwah Ladies Golf

Contributed by Jenny Kelly Some of the girls got frightened away by the early morning clouds, but we still had 68 come out to play a Single Stableford for trophies kindly donated by Lady members Val Turner and Karen Gannon. The showers stayed away and Gail Gundry played great golf to come in with 37 points to win Division 1, from Cathy Stone on 36 points. Division 2 winner with 35 points was Brid John, from Marjory Pavitt who came in with 34 points. NTPs went to Jasmin Parkes on 2, Lydia Costello on 5, and Brid took out the 16th.

Division 1 on the 18th was Shirley Cooper, and Oriel Lyon won Division 2. The ball rundown went to 31. Hopefully Huey continues to be kind to us, and we keep having glorious golfing weather. Stay safe and good golfing.

Hinterland Boxing Club

Contributed by Stephen Pitt On Saturday, May 10 HBC sent a team of four athletes to the Acacia Ridge Hotel for the Queensland Novice Titles where athletes box off in bouts with experience between 0 - 3, 4 - 7 and 8 - 15 in their weight and age divisions.

First up saw Dana Coolwell who again stepped up in weight and experience to box against a strong NSW opponent in the 44 Kg Junior Division. This was a rugged and fast paced fight with Dana finding his range towards the end of the first round. The second round saw Dana's opponent tie Dana up and brawl using his weight advantage to great effect.

The third round continued in similar fashion however Dana made a good account of himself scoring with the cleaner and more skilful punches. Dana went down in a very close decision, showing he has the potential to go far in the sport and is prepared to fight anyone on the way.

Next up we had Chaska Coolwell for his first fight boxing against an athlete from Cairns. Chaska put in an awesome display of heart and determination in a very tough fight. From the opening bell, Chaska pushed forward throwing punches in bunches. The second round saw Chaska use good foot work to set up his punches to great effect.

Chaska worked hard all the way to the final bell to become the QLD Novice, Junior 60 kg, C Division Champion.

Next up Tiarna Collins, in her first bout, stepped up in weight, age and experience to box against an Australian Institute Of Sport boxing scholarship Athlete in the 64 kg Female Elite Division. Cages were rattled from the opening bell as Tiarna landed some solid shots on her opponent. The second round saw Tiarna receive a standing 8 count that was questionable and was probably the difference in the fight. Third round Tiarna finished strongly boxing with skill and determination to finish the fight that resulted in Tiarna going down in close decision. Tiarna accounted for herself in a way that suggests she has a future in the sport.

Lastly Mitchell Chalmers boxed an athlete from Bundaberg in a willing and entertaining bout.

This was a very competitive bout with both boys trading some heavy leather from the opening bell.

The second round saw Mitch's opponent land his straight lead hand to good effect. Going into the final round Mitch needed to find something and he did with some strong bursts of punches that tilted a close bout in Mitch's favour to become the QLD Novice, Youth 75 kg, C division Champion.

It was an awesome night for HBC with our athletes stepping up and performing strongly. We will next head to the Inala PCYC Tournament on May 17.

Success for Glasshouse Districts Cricket Club’s Junior

Contributed by Jill Forster Glasshouse Districts Cricket Club is proud to announce that Tomas Lunt has been selected in the Qld 12 years and under School Boys side to play at the national carnival in Darwin in June (starting on Monday June 16, and finishing on Sunday, June 22) playing against sides from NSW, VIC, SA, NT and the ACT. Preceding the carnival, Tom has a week-long training camp in Bundaberg starting June 6.

In preparation for the Nationals, Tom will be playing winter cricket in a Brisbane based competition.

Tomas Lunt was introduced to cricket in 2008 at the age of six participating in the Glasshouse Districts Cricket Club’s Milo Have-A-Go cricket program. The program is a fun way of introducing cricket to both boys and girls aged between five and eight years.

Tomas’s love of cricket saw him continue with the club playing in the lower junior grades enabling him to play competitive cricket on Saturday mornings. During last season (2013/14) Tomas played in Glasshouse Districts Cricket Club’s Under 14 team and also played a few Under 16 games whilst still only 11-years-old.

Tomas has represented the Sunshine Coast region twice in the 12 years and under School Boys playing five days of 50 over cricket at each event.

Getting to Darwin (including the training camp in Bundaberg) is expensive so Tomas is conducting a raffle to help with these costs. The raffle prize is an autographed ‘Brisbane Heat’ cricket bat. The tickets are $1.00 each. Tomas would appreciate any support. If you would like to purchase a ticket please contact Brett Lunt (Tomas’s father) on 0411 642 425.

The committee and players of Glasshouse Districts Cricket Club wish Tomas every success at the carnival in June and hope he enjoys the experience at a higher and more competitive level.

Always self-conscious of his lack of ears, whenever Bob would interview a future employee, he would ask him “what do you notice different about me?” If the employee would mention his lack of ears (which often they did), it would be a ‘no’ for sure, for the job. However if the employee would mention something else, he would hire the guy. One year, at the yearly holiday business party, Bob approached his most recent hireling and asked him if he remembered the last question

TAURUS April 21 – May 21 This full Moon week is in your opposite sign and calls for serious, responsible and thoughtful approach to all matters having to do with partnerships and relationships. This is the perfect time to quit any bad relationships, whether it involves a person, or an investment account that is not working well for you now.

GEMINI May 22 – June 21 Secret deals that are going on behind closed doors are pressing for release but telling on others may bring the usual retribution. See if you can go through a third party, or bring attention to some foul play by a roundabout method, rather than advertising your thoughts full strength.

Seek out a good friend or mediator.

CANCER June 22 – July 22 This week you can excel in situations calling for fast thinking, especially concerning your home. This full Moon week in Scorpio is perfect for clearing out your personal clothes or useless workshop items that may need immediate delivery to the local tip. A love affair could hit a turning point as it is time to be realistic.

LEO July 23 – August 22 This Moon in the secretive sign of Scorpio might open a nest of family emotions. It should shed light on a hidden family matter or discover negative feelings that require healthy transformation by correct communication. If looking for some congenial connections to hang out with, make it this weekend.

CAPRICORN December 23 – January 19 Mid month the Scorpio full Moon brings to light the hidden matter around your local social group or friendships. This may set off power plays, secrets, suspicions, resentment, jealousy or mistrust. You may decide to stay in bed for the whole week, however a push forward comes from Mars in Libra helping public work.

AQUARIUS January 20 – February 19 With the Scorpio full Moon in its secretive stubborn sign of Scorpio, your relationships with the estate matters or property are dramatic.

Domestic operations and professional abilities become a war zone of transformation. You are laying foundations for future achievements by redefining your inner and outer lives.

PISCES February 20 – March 20 The Full Moon in Scorpio this week examines the past to explore what your family history says about you and your genes. Speaking of family, it’s a great time to gather them around, even on your tablet or laptop to share interesting ideas. Newspapers, magazines, mail and technical devices pile up around the house.

ARIES March 21 – April 20 The full Moon is in Scorpio this week and may press a financial stress button for you. Get into some compromise as any resistance to paying bills could turn into brash pushy moves to assert your ego! Let’s bring out your charming sweet talk and practice saying ‘yes’ to some persons who may want your immediate attention.

VIRGO August 23 – September 22 The full Moon in Scorpio makes for a powerful week that engages you in talks and negotiations that can be an important influence, where your intellectual life is concerned.

Decisions now made can have a long range impact as Mars is at last going direct and heading into some new exciting adventures. Be flexible.

LIBRA September 23 – October 22 There is a bright spark of news about a trip from an in-law that galvanises positive attention to make a dream a reality. This Scorpio Moon week puts your eyes on things that could have something to do with an operation overseas, which is less expensive than the local hospitals. A once in a lifetime chance finds you.

SCORPIO October 23 – November 22 Be careful this week where money and finances are concerned so don’t abuse a privilege or take advantage of a sneaky tax deal. It is best not to let things slip out of your fingers due to inattention or laxity. The full Moon in Scorpio, around May 14, says that something in your personal life needs urgent attention.

SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 There is no mistaking the volcanic excitement of the full Moon in Scorpio, with the wild pleasures of a Venus Uranus conjunction. Someone may say, or offer, something unexpected or voice real feelings to you in a charming intelligent way. There are new possibilities for romance as Mars finally turns direct now.

he had asked him when interviewing him for the job. “Sure I do,” was his reply. “You asked me what was different about you and I said that you were wearing contact lenses.” “Of all things to answer,” Bob questioned curiously, “why was that the thing you noticed?” “Well, to be honest, it was quite simple. How could you possibly be wearing glasses if you don’t have any ears!”
