ADVERTISING

FROM THE EDITOR AFTER 17 years operating GC&M News, Brownie and I have decided it is time to find new owners for the business.

We have loved so much about being part of the local community and have really enjoyed working with a team of very dedicated staff. However, we are now super keen to find our replacements.

We would love to find someone who will love being involved in our community, like we have, but who also has the drive and passion to continue evolving how a print newspaper can be successfully integrated into digital news delivery.

When COVID hit last year, we had a shaky moment where we threw our hands in the air and said “this is all too hard” and we planned to shut down.

However, after a few anxious days, we drew on our resilience and after

Lea Parkess 18 longish months we navigated the business to a quite different place.

We have embraced a digital future, created a great news website, built a solid digital subscriber list and continue to grow our already strong social media following.

So, we wanted to let you all know.

If you or someone you know might be interested in a future as a community newspaper owner please contact me via lea@gcnews.com.au

Elimbah’s latest centenarian

story

By Jack Waters IT was a day full of celebrations for Elimbah’s latest centenarian, Geoff Powell, with friends past and present attending his birthday lunch last Tuesday at the Elimbah Soldiers Memorial Hall.

Unfortunately, none of Geoff ’s family were able to attend the day as his nieces and nephews were stuck in New South Wales due to border restrictions.

Despite that, Geoff said it was great to catch up with friendly faces, some of who he hadn’t seen in years.

He was also quite chuffed with himself for conquering one of his greatest challenges.

“My brother lived to 99 and a half,” Geoff said. “I always wanted to beat that and I knew it was going to be a bit of a challenge – but now I’ve finally conquered it.”

Geoff isn’t quite sure what to attribute this impressive feat to, but the sprightly 100-year-old said his genetics may have had something to do with it.

“Along with my brother living to 99, my aunty lived to 103, my mother lived to 92 and she had a couple sisters even

older than her,” he said.

“I’ve also maintained what I think to be a healthy diet with mostly good meals, and I’ve attended the doctor regularly over the past 30 years, so he probably deserves some credit in keeping me alive.

“To keep breathing is a fairly important part of it too. You certainly don’t want to stop doing that,” he laughed.

Geoff has been under the care of Elimbah locals Lyn and Albert Dilling for the past ten years after his wife passed away.

Lyn said Geoff remained active in his older years, so much so that he even built a house in his late 70s, putting the roof on at the ripe old age of 80.

“He spends a lot of time potting around out in the shed,” Lyn said.

“Anything mechanical is a challenge he loves to get his hands on.

“My son’s an auto electrician so they talk for hours at night.”

Even though Geoff has hit triple figures, he won’t be slowing down any time soon.

Geoff with his carers Lyn and Albert Dilling and his card from the Queen “Another fella and I are making a plan to sink a bore at the moment,” he said. “We’d like to get that finished and hopefully use the water from it.

“We’re going to try to grow something. Even if it’s only a few weeds, we’ll grow something,” Geoff said.

Ekka state finals come to Maleny FOR only the second time in the history of the Dairy – Young Judges and Paraders competition the state finals will this year be conducted by Queensland Ag Shows at the Maleny Showground on Saturday September 25.

The competition, for young people aged 15-25 years, provides significant personal and professional development opportunities, including the opportunity to network, learn from industry professionals and practise public speaking skills.

Dairy Young Paraders 2019 Runner Up Rebecca Daley of North Qld and Thomas Wade of Near North Coast 2019 Winner.

Competitors learn how to improve their judging and parading skills and the competitions encourage them to continue their involvement in agricultural shows.

Queensland Ag Shows state coordinator of the Young Judges and Paraders competitions, Monica Skerman, said that as this year’s Ekka had been cancelled, it was great that the state finals of the dairy competition could be rescheduled to still go ahead.

“We are very pleased that Maleny Show Society agreed to host the finals at the showground. Maleny is well known for its long association with the dairy industry and our Maleny Show is still one of the most robust exhibitors of dairy cattle in the country,” Monica said.

The event will feature young competitors from five Queensland sub chambers of Queensland Ag Shows, coming from as far as Malanda near Cairns and the Darling Downs.

Our local region – the Near North Coast sub chamber – will be represented by Sharnaye Wintzloff and Britney Holt. Clinton Keir, originally from Kenilworth and a former National Dairy Parader winner, will also be competing.

The winners of the state finals will be invited to represent Queensland at the 2022 national finals hosted by the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

Due to the cancellation of the 2020 finals, the 2019 state winners Loka Manu and Thomas Wade from the Near North Coast sub chamber will also be travelling to the Sydney in April 2022 to compete in the national championships.

Dairy Young Judges 2019 runner-up Jerry English from North Queensland, Monica Skerman from Queensland Ag Shows and Loka Manu, Near North Coast’s 2019 winner Monica said this was her 15th year with this competition. “All I can say is that these young people represent the future for our dairy industry,” she said.

The state finals will run from 9.30am-3pm. It is a free ticketed event via Eventbrite. For more details or for tickets go to www.facebook.com/queenslandagshows Refreshments and a barbeque lunch will be available.

Hope for Beerwah Sportsground’s future

By Greg Brown THE Beerwah Sportsground Management Committee (BSMC) has been battling bureaucracy for more than two years and the toll has taken it to the brink of financial collapse.

The committee’s struggle has been with Sunshine Coast Council rigidly enforcing ever increasing levels of red tape and disallowing previously permitted uses of the grounds, which used to bring in much needed funds for the management and maintenance of the sportsground.

Much of the problem has stemmed from the simple fact that at some point the function of the land was mistakenly changed on paper from ‘showground’ to ‘sportsground’, which severely limited the types of permitted activities and how they are managed.

Committee president David Weil said the council don’t pay for the upkeep of the grounds, or the water used, or the repairs and improvements to the facilities.

“The considerable costs are borne by the management committee, for which we have to raise funds through charging groups using the grounds,” Mr Weil said.

“Over the years this has been done by hosting events like the Beerwah

Charity Sports Day and Christmas carols, clubs such as caravan groups for basic camping on the grounds, pony club events and overnight stays by selfcontained caravan and RV campers.”

With severely limited income over the past two years, the BSMC is almost at the end of its financial tether, with the threat of insolvency looming if the situation isn’t addressed.

However, the committee hopes there is now a light at the end of the tunnel, with a process about to begin to legitimise – in the eyes of the bureaucrats – the range of community and organisational uses that have been regularly occurring at the Beerwah Sportsground for many years.

The solution is for the council, as trustee of the land owned by the Queensland Government, to prepare a land management plan and submit it to the state government for approval.

This will allow the designation of the grounds to be officially altered to ‘showgrounds and recreation’, giving legitimacy to the uses that have occurred there for the past few decades.

This plan will outline what the agreed permitted uses will be under the lease the BSMC holds over the sportsground,

BSMC committee member Helen Weil talks with Chamber of Commerce president Jenny Broderick with the proposals to go out for community consultation before the plan is drafted.

The council engaged the services of consultants CPR Group to undertake the community and stakeholder consultation.

The views of the community will be critically important to the outcome as the council will be looking for community support for what the BSMC is trying to achieve, as well as the views of local businesses.

“The committee has been working towards a positive resolution for a long time,” Mr Weil said.

“This is something we hope will finally give us, and the community, some certainty both financially and for the use of the facilities.

“The committee is encouraged by the talks already had with CPR and council, and the committee encourages the community to have their say when the broader consultation process begins.”

CPR Group will canvas key stakeholders directly but hopes to provide a portal through the council’s Have Your Say website for locals to show their support.

GC&M News will provide more details how to have your say and show your support in the September 28 edition.

Bounty Hunters with a wicked arm

By Jack Waters IT’S not a sport you would associate with this part of the world, but for students at Beerwah State High School ultimate disc is quickly becoming one of their favourites.

The Beerwah Bounty Hunters have spent the past few months honing their skills in preparation for the Queensland Ultimate Disc Association’s (QUDA) Senior School State Championships, which saw them compete against seven other teams in Brisbane last Friday, September 10.

Ultimate disc is extremely popular in the United States but the hype has only recently started to pick up on Australian shores.

Simply, ultimate disc is played with a frisbee on a long grass field with the rules resembling a mix of American football and netball. Points are scored

when a player catches the frisbee in the end zone, like American football, but when players catch the frisbee in the field of play they must stop before passing to a team mate, like netball.

Although there is no tackling involved, ultimate disc is an extremely athletic sport that requires jogging, short sprints, jumping, good hand-eye coordination and, of course, a good arm.

Beerwah State High School chaplain and one of the team’s coaches Mike Turner said the students had been playing the sport in their lunch breaks for about five years but ut had only recently started taking it more seriously after realising there were re local competitions they could participate pate in.

Mike said aside from the competitive factor, it had been a great way to get them active during g their lunch breaks.

“Some of these guys have been playing g for a few years but some are e newcomers and they all treat it like a little community,” Mike said.

“We play three games a week for seniors, juniors and a mix of both. We also play some student teacher games, ames, which of course everyone loves.”

One of the most interesting things about the game is that even at competition level there are no referees.

I

The Beerwah Bounty Hunters in training for the Senior State School Championships Mike said this was w something that made ultimate disc stand out ffrom other sports.

“The big part of ultimate disc that I love is the spirit of the game,” he said.

“If there’s a controversial moment on the field, con it’s all about the players negotiating with each other.

“It’s all about supporting each other and the ab other team, team so much so that we have to elect both a tea team captain and a spirit captain.”

Students Studen in the Bounty Hunters team said the they’re hoping to pave the way for the spo sport to become more well-known in the region. reg

September holiday camping at Woodfordia

Farewell to the Mooloolah’s fabulous five!

THE Mooloolah State School community will soon be saying a fond farewell to five of its long-term staff members – Pam Day, Jenny Wilson, Jenine Stabler (Raddatz), Jenny Chaplin and Pauline Park.

To honour their many years of service and dedication, community members and students and their families, past and present, are invited to attend a special farewell event at the Mooloolah Valley Country Club on Saturday, September 18 from 3-5pm.

Mooloolah P&C member Lisa West said the event was a lovely opportunity to recognise the years of commitment and care that these staff members had shown to innumerable students and their families over the years, with some families knowing the teachers over generations.

Between them the five staff members have almost 140 years of combined service, with the longest serving member, Pam Day, retiring after 31 years of service.

“These ladies have made such a wonderfully positive impact on so many students lives over the years but also, importantly, they have been able to keep the history and past stories of our school alive with their impressive knowledge of not only our school’s history but the history of Mooloolah, which has proved to be invaluable over the years,” Lisa said.

Between them the five staff members have almost 140 years of combined service, with the longest serving member, Pam Day, retiring after 31 years of service.

Jenny Wilson said she felt a mixture of both sadness and excitement as she approached her retirement after 30 years of service with the school.

Pam Day, Jenny Wilson, Pauline Park, Jenny Chaplin and Jenine Stabler (Raddatz) As well as seeing generations of students pass through the school, Jenny’s own children and grandchildren have attended Mooloolah State School.

“It’s been a wonderful experience and I’ve loved every minute of it. I have many happy memories of my time here, the students and fellow staff members,” Jenny said.

“While it’s a bit sad to be coming to the end of an era, I’m looking forward to the start of a new chapter.”

The community is invited to attend the farewell event, share their favourite memories and help wish these wonderful ladies well on their well-deserved retirement.

The Mooloolah P&C committee will provide grazing platters, and drinks and additional food will be available for purchase.

Bookings are essential for catering purposes by contacting the Country Club on 5494 5973.

ALTHOUGH the Woodford Folk Festival will not go ahead again this year, families can still take advantage of the beautiful 200ha (500 acre) Woodfordia site with news that camping will be available at the stunning Lake Gkula camping area during the September school holidays.

The camping area features comfortable amenities and hot showers, large flat shady sites and an abundance of bush walking, hiking and nature trails, plus the lake, which is great for swimming.

Weather permitting, each night staff will manage communal bonfires around the site and kids can also bring their bikes and scooters.

As a registered Land for Wildlife site, visitors will get the chance to see many of the beautiful native animals that call the campground home including echidnas, kookaburras, wallabies, goannas and more.

A general store is located next to Lake Gkula for any last-minute items, snack, treats or forgotten needs, and is open daily from 7am-2pm.

Bookings require a three-night minimum stay and tickets start at $15 per night for children aged 2-17 and $25 for adults, with children under two years free.

Sites are available at the site, located at 87 Woodrow Road Woodford, from Saturday September 18 until Monday October 4.

Thumbs up for Glass House wave pool THE consultation phase has ended for the surfing wave pool and tourism facility proposed for the Bruce Highway end of Johnston Road in Glass House Mountains, and the community has said … bring it on!

A total of 981 properly made submissions were received by Sunshine Coast Council, with 978 in favour of the development, which is described as a “holistic surfing experience”.

The proposal is to establish a wave pool and associated amenities, a wellness centre featuring yoga and meditation, paddock-to-plate food and beverage experiences, ocean and marine protection education, learn to surf classes and surf coaching.

However, to be fair, the 978 positive submissions were all generated through a campaign initiated by the development proponents via an automated submission portal on their webpage (www.surfparksaustralia.com. au) and were all worded the same.

“Dear Sunshine Coast Regional Council Assessment Manager, I support Surf Parks Australia’s proposed development at Johnston Road, Glass House Mountains (MCU20/0381). This development will bring substantial social and economic benefits to

BUSINESS

Sunshine Coast and surrounding communities. Keep me informed via email so I can reserve my spot in the line-up once its approved,” the 978 submissions said.

The high profile names of Ashley (Tugboat) Robinson and property developer Scott Juniper are among those supporting the development.

The lone voices against the proposal was from the developer of the other wave pool park proposal at Glenview, Sanad Capital and a resident who lives on Bowen Road concerned that the development won’t enhance the area and will create noise and aesthetic issues.

Both proposals (the Sanad proposal at Glenview and the Surf Park Australia proposal at Glass House) have some similarities, with the Glenview proposal for a resort and accommodation complex, restaurants and bars, water theme park and, in a future stage, a surfing wave pool.

The main point of contention is that the council has already approved the Glenview wave park and an economic analysis commissioned by Sanad Capital shows that there’s only room for one financially viable surf park on the coast.

news

“Urban Economics have detailed that a surf park is a regionally/state significant use, with broad and expansive catchment areas,” the Sanad Capital submission states.

“Urban Economics indicate that these facilities require the attraction of at least 250,000 visitors per annum (operating year-round) to be economically sustainable.

“The combination of these factors confirm that there is no economic need for more than one facility on the Sunshine Coast.”

The submission goes on to detail problems they see with the loss of rural productive lands, impacts to scenic amenity and other issues around building heights, noise and site suitability.

More housing mix for Maleny WITH the current dire housing situation in Maleny, locals want more supply and the right mix of housing options to accommodate a variety of needs.

A new development application to Sunshine Coast Council for land on Coral Street appears to be a good fit to this, with one-, two- and three-bedroom units.

The material change of use application over 34 Coral Street Maleny aims to provide two three-bedroom double storey units, with another three double storey units with a single bedroom apartment downstairs and a two-bedroom apartment upstairs.

This makes for eight separate dwellings in total including three one-bedroom, three two-bedroom and two three-bedroom units within the complex.

The planning report said the application provided a mix of affordable housing options that were sought after in the local area.

However, the planning report also noted that the concept covered more of the site (by 3%) and higher density than the planning scheme suggests, with the equivalent of 77 dwellings per hectare rather than the 30-50 range in the planning scheme.

in PROFILE Pets for Life

PETS for Life is a free community-led program that connects Sunshine Coast pet owners with like-minded, animal-loving volunteers. Starting at the Caloundra Community Centre in 2005, this unique program aims to help residents who may be isolated due to age or disability to continue to care for their beloved pets, while staying connected to their community.

Pets for Life ultimately builds relationships and links volunteers with pet owners who require help with tasks such as walking, grooming, feeding and/or medicating their pets.

GC&M News caught up with Beerwah resident Jan Moser, the owner of a gorgeous west highland white terrier or westie – Beau. Jan has been involved with the program for the past three years.

Q: How did you first get involved with the program?

I moved to Beerwah three and a half years ago and a friend in Maleny told me that she’d seen a flyer for the program. The following week I saw a story in GC&M News and contacted the program coordinator. I’m only in my early 60s but have an immune-neurological condition that limits my mobility, so finding out about Pets for Life and becoming involved as a pet owner with a disability has made a huge positive difference to mine and Beau’s lives.

Q: How does the program work?

I made contact with Caloundra Community Centre and Mark Wischnat, who coordinated the program at the time, came out and met with me and filled me in on all the details. All of the community volunteers are trained and safety (police) checked, which is important to know if you are letting people into your home.

with Sonia Isaacs Clark

Clare, Billie and Jessica Arico with Beau and his owner Jan Moser It was wonderful. They matched me up with volunteers who lived nearby and we then met to see if we clicked. Since then, our friendships have flourished into lasting relationships and these volunteers have now become friends and part of my extended family.

One of the families, Clare Arico and her twin daughters, have been with me since I started, and it’s been lovely to have them be part of our lives. The program has really opened my life up again. It has benefited Beau and has brought so much happiness to us all.

Every Saturday, Clare and the girls come and pick up Beau and take him for a walk or a play in Skippy Park for an hour or so. My other volunteers come once a week and it’s up to them what they like to do.

Sometimes they take Beau for a long walk or give him a bath – it’s whatever they like to do to help.

Q: What do you love about Pets for Life?

The program brings joy to the volunteers and the pet owners. It enhances the life of everyone involved and it provides an opportunity to nurture meaningful relationships, which is important for people who may be isolated or alone through age or disability.

Knowing that Beau is going to get a decent walk every week is a huge relief and its wonderful for him to also have extra people to love him and for him to be able to love back.

The program has been created with a lot of thought for people’s dignity and respect, and is exceptionally well managed.

The program coordinators are always very easy to contact and they also keep in contact with us very well. We also have public and private Facebook groups to connect. I would encourage people to get involved as either a volunteer or a pet owner requiring assistance – I tell people there is no other program like it around. It’s brilliant!

Fourth red bench for Maleny

news

New cart shed and practice green

MALENY’S fourth red bench was recently unveiled at Maleny Pioneer Village at a gathering of about 50 people.

An initiative of the Red Rose Foundation, supported by local group Speak Up Now – Stop domestic and family violence Maleny and Blackall Range, the brightly coloured benches serve as both a conversation starter to raise awareness around the issue of domestic and family violence, and a timely reminder that domestic violence can be preventable.

The local group is a collaboration between the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre, the Rotary Club of Maleny and Zonta Blackall Range.

The group has facilitated red benches outside the Maleny Post Office, at the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre and outside Gone Bonkers in Maple Street. It

has also persuaded the Sunshine Coast Council to install four bright red benches across the coast in key locations.

The Pioneer Village’s red bench was designed and built by Malcom Baker from the Maleny Men’s Shed who unveiled it with senior sergeant Kate Teasdale, officer in charge of the Queensland Police Service Domestic and Family Violence Unit.

Snr Sgt Teasdale spoke briefly about the crucial role of the community being involved with the police to reduce the impact of domestic violence.

Uniting Church minister Liena Hoffman and Maleny Cultural and Historical Society president Ray Stewart also spoke at the event. www.facebook.com/SpeakUpNowStopDomestic ViolenceMalenyBlackallRange

MALENY Golf Club has a new infinity edge practice green and a permanent home for its fleet of 24 golf carts following the recent completion of a purpose-built storage shed as part of a key infrastructure project.

Some spare space in the shed, which can hold up to 32 carts, is being leased to members with carts while the remaining space will be fitted out to provide temporary office accommodation until a new club house can be built.

The cart shed is sited on the club’s old practice green area so the project had to incorporate relocation of the 10th tee and a new concrete access path to make space for construction of the new green.

Club general manager Stephen Porter said the new facilities reflected Maleny Golf Club’s growth in popularity as a quality golfing destination and an “outstanding effort” by a group of volunteers whose valuable contribution had kept costs down. This included donations of both time and materials.

“One of the other great benefits we’ve been able to deliver is on-course space we’ve freed up for some privately owned golf carts which will also help defray our construction costs,” Mr Porter said.

New Wave Fest around the corner THE countdown has started for local non-profit organisation The Modern Generation’s exciting event – New Wave Fest on September 25 in Chevallum.

The day will run from 10am-3pm with talks, performances and workshops happening continually over the five hours.

There will be three separate venues all in close proximity to each other on the Chevallum School oval – the speakers’ room and art show, the performance tent and the eco workshop.

In the performance tent you’ll find some of the region’s best young artists.

String duo Reese and Oscar will kick off the day at 10am accompanied by an all-age yoga class run by experienced instructor Kirrilee, also known as the body linguist, to help get you in the right mood for the event.

This first performance will be followed by jazz and classical music at 10.30am, musical theatre hits from 11am-12noon, a jazz performance from the Maleny State High School band at 12noon, a bit of pop at 12.30pm, folk at 1pm, ukulele rock and pop at 1.30pm and a rocking performance from local band Criminal Mint to finish off proceedings at 2.30pm.

The speakers’ room will feature talks with change makers throughout the day on topics such as youth and climate justice, gaining perspective, creating a movement, youth engagement in the community and embracing change.

If you don’t know what to do with the print edition of GC&M News after you’ve read it each fortnight, head to the eco workshop where you can learn how to turn newspaper pages into bin-liners – a great way to reduce your plastic waste.

These classes will alternate with Japanese furoshiki workshops that show you how to wrap presents with an unwanted piece of fabric or cloth.

The Modern Generation co-founder Emily Davies said it had been easier than expected to get the event up and running thanks to generous support from the community.

“Although there have been occasions where we found it difficult to be taken seriously, the majority of the people we have spoken to have helped us in any way they could, which we are extremely grateful for,” Emily said.

“Sophie [Rees-Druitt] and I would like other young adults on the Sunshine Coast to realise how lucky we are to be able to receive support by simply going around and asking.”

Tickets can still be purchased for the event by heading to www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-moderngenerations-new-wave-fest-tickets-161218802779 More information can also be found on The Modern Generation’s Instagram page @the.modern.generation Everyone attending the event is encouraged to bring sun protection, drinking water and a picnic blanket/ chair. The gates will open at 9.30am.

WAR ON WASTE Glasshouse Country Thinking about replacing your mobile phone?

WHY not buy a refurbished phone? It’s a great way to save money and be as sustainable as possible.

Smartphones are an ever-growing source of e-waste.

Research has shown that energy consumption occurs largely in the production phase and can create up to 75kg of waste for each phone made, so opting for a refurbished device means delaying the production of one new phone.

You’ll also be entitled to a warranty under Australian Consumer Law, on top p of anyy benefits offered byy the reseller. So why not save money and the environment in one hit?

If you would like to join ourr group come along to the next meeting on Wednesdayy September 15, from 6–7.30pm 30pm at the CWA Hall in Simpson Street, Beerwah. Phone 0427 873 701 or Facebook War on Waste Glasshouse Country for more information.

Outspoken in Maleny THE challenges of arranging events during COVID-19 have not daunted the organisers of Outspoken Maleny, who have locked in their literary events for the next two months with exclusively Queensland authors.

Outspoken will present authors Ian Lowe and Luke Stegemann in conversation at the Maleny Community Centre on Tuesday, September 21 at 6pm for a 6.30pm start.

Ian Lowe AO has been described as a “bona fide Australian treasure”. He is the author of ten books and innumerable articles, and is currently an emeritus professor of science, technology and society and a former head of science at Griffith University, former president of the Australian Conservation Society and the recipient of the Konrad Lorenz gold medal.

Ian will be in conversation with Steven Lang to discuss his new book Long Halflife, a timely and riveting account of the political, social and scientific complexities of the nuclear

18

‘Kabaret’ will be back industry. Long Half-life tells the social and political history of Australia’s role from the first discovery of radioactive ores in 1906 to contemporary contentious questions. The book cleverly reveals the power of vested interests, the subjectivities of scientists and the transformative force of community passion.

Also in conversation will be awardwinning Australian Hispanist Luke Stegemann, providing insight into his new book Amnesia Road – a compelling literary examination of historic violence in rural areas of Australia and Spain.

Luke is a recipient of the Malaspina Award for outstanding contribution to the development of cultural relations between Australia and Spain. The book is already receiving rave reviews and this year has been shortlisted for two major awards.

Tickets for the event are $22 and $15 for students and available from www.outspokenmaleny.com

THE Maleny Players are keen to make sure locals know they hope to have ‘Kabaret’, written by well-known awardwinning playwright Simon Denver, return to their stage in 2022.

A successful first performance was held on July 30 and was well received by the audience.

Sadly, COVID stopped the second performance, forcing the Sunshine Coast into lockdown and leaving Maleny Players to postpone remaining performances.

The production will be back sometime in the future for those who couldn’t attend in July and those who would like to enjoy it a second time.

The Players had many compliments from the audience, including the following from one satisfied audience member: “The performance opened with all players on stage, setting the momentum for a wonderful performance.

The whole evening went smoothly and was slick. It was pleasant and most enjoyable to the very end. The music was well performed by several talented musicians.

“The standout for me was The Highwayman. The performer was focused and emotive, and hardly blinked during this performance. Impeccable timing needed for this piece and that’s

what the audience got. Perfect to the end. The audience participation kept the room lively and involved.

“It was brilliant and should be performed again. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

“This piece would be well received by a younger audience”.

GC&M News will keep you posted on when a future date is set so you can see the performance for yourself.

Caloundra vaccination facility to return LOCAL residents will have greater access to the COVID-19 vaccine when the Caloundra Indoor Stadium returns as a community vaccination location from early October.

The centre will take its first appointments from Friday October 8 at 9am. It will be open from 9am-5pm seven days a week until early December.

Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Yvette D’Ath said more than 2,000 doses would be administered each day on site.

“We’re excited to be able to enhance access to the COVID-19 vaccine on the Sunshine Coast,” Ms D’Ath said.

&

“The Caloundra Indoor Stadium has already proven to be a great venue for the community and re-opening the centre here will make it quicker and easier for more people to get vaccinated.

“The new centre will be open to all Queenslanders aged 16 years and over and I encourage everyone to register for their vaccination.

“Most people in the 16-59 years age bracket have been waiting their turn for the vaccine. Now it’s time to roll up their sleeves and do their bit to protect themselves, their loved ones and their community,” the Minister said.

Member for Caloundra Jason Hunt said those who made a booking at the Caloundra community vaccination centre would be prioritised but walk-ins would also be accepted.

“Walk-ins will need to wait, so if you want reserve to your place please book ahead,” Mr Hunt said.

“I urge everyone to visit the Queensland Health website to register online.

“Thank you to all those Queenslanders who have already come forward to get vaccinated so far – vaccination is our best chance of beating this pandemic,” Mr Hunt said.

Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace said “I got vaccinated with AstraZeneca as soon as I could to protect myself, my family and our community.

“Vaccination with any of our safe and effective vaccine options is our best and only way out of this COVID-19 pandemic, so if you haven’t already, I urge you to register to get your jab today.”

music TODAY

with Dr Michael Whiticker

Sound as a healer AS a music practitioner with many years professional experience I have long valued the role music plays as a form of therapy in the community.

People attend drumming circles, sing in a choir or play in a ukulele group with like-minded singing strummers. Individuals attend open mic events to get up and perform solo or with colleagues and friends. There is plenty of evidence around – scientific and social – supporting the value music-making brings to a community. However, it is not just the playing of music that can add value to your life. We know that listening to music, or even simply immersing yourself in music (a soundbath!), can benefit your health too.

Being involved in music is good for your health but what if we come back one step from music and consider sound itself, and that includes everything from the ripple of a mountain creek to the hum of a refrigerator. How does sound affect us? Can it perhaps be used to heal physical ailments we might have? The answer is yes. Everything is in a constant state of vibration. Even things that we assume aren’t moving – those kitchen chairs, for example, are made up of molecules and atoms that are pulsating. Every part of our body resonates to a different frequency. To a sound healer, some ailments will show that parts of the body are out of “vibratory” alignment and sound “treatment” might be the best and certainly the least invasive “medicine” one could have for it. Modern western medicine will have a drug treatment, of course, and it might bring temporary relief but it won’t necessarily get to the root of the health issue. Sound healing possibly can but let’s not leave modern medicine out of this consideration as sound does have multiple uses there too. We know, for example, that ultrasonics are used to bombard rogue cells and crystallised minerals in the kidney similarly can be dissolved by sound waves.

Over the next months I’m going to look further into sound and how we use it to aid our health, both physical and mental. As an afterword, it is important to say that sound healing is not for everyone. A treatment that works for one person may not necessarily work for another as the different parts of the body – the organs, bones, tissues and different bodily systems – all resonate at distinctive frequencies and individually our frequencies will not be the same. Also, we need to acknowledge the value of intent or belief in healing.

Emily wins jazz bursary HIGH school music students from across the coast performed at the Caloundra Power Boat Club on Saturday August 28 vying for the 2021 Youth ‘n’ Jazz bursary presented by the Sunshine Coast Jazz Club.

Maleny State High School year 11 student Emily Davies was declared the winner of the vocal section and presented with $1,000 to pursue her musical passion. An additional $500 cheque was presented to her school’s music department.

Fellow Maleny High student Shelby Rose Johnson was also one of the eight finalists in this year’s music bursary.

Each of the finalists performed two songs supported by professional band Rick Best and The Day Trippers to enhance their performance.

Brian Fane, a life member of the Sunshine Coast Jazz Club, said the students were outstanding in their presentation, choice of songs and confidence in front of an appreciative audience.

“The students were judged by a panel of industry professionals who had to look for small nuances to differentiate between each entrant, which was not an easy task as they each performed brilliantly,” Brian said.

The winner of the instrumental section was Joel Sanchez-Carn from St Andrews Anglican College who played electric guitar.

Trophies and a cash prize were given to each of the other six competing students as encouragement awards for their excellent performances.

Schools are encouraged to participate in the Sunshine Coast Jazz Club’s Youth ‘n’ Jazz school music bursary for 2022. More details will be posted on the club’s website at the beginning of next year. www.sunshinecoastjazzclub.net.au/index.php

Small Halls date claimer Festival of Small Halls has announced that Darren Hanlon and Kelly Brouhaha will be the guests of fifteen communities for the October Queensland Spring Tour 2021, which will include the Mapleton Hall as the final stop on the tour on October 31.

After years of touring the far-flung corners of Australia and the greater world, Gympie-based Darren Hanlon has carved a sacred place in the hearts of many who cross his path with his candid and charming music and storytelling.

He is known for his engagement with his audiences and having the ability to make a large crowd feel like they’re in a lounge room amongst friends.

Not deterred by the COVID situation, Hanlon has managed to have a few good years appearing in, and singing the credits of, the new Slim Dusty biopic ‘Slim & I’ and garnering high rotation on ABC with his pandemic themed song ‘We All Cope in Different Ways.’

Darren said I’m so excited to have the opportunity to perform in these towns, most of them I’ve never even been to before.

“Small Halls does an amazing job of reaching places that have been neglected on the Australian touring map. Can’t wait to meet some of my fellow Queenslanders,” Darren said.

Troy Cassar-Daley and Busby Marou headline Pineapple Country DIABLO Oasis at the Big Pineapple in Woombye will showcase the second Pineapple Country event on Sunday, October 17 by featuring some of Australia’s biggest names in country music.

Australian music legends and multi award winning artists Troy Cassar-Daley and Busby Marou are set to headline the Sunshine Busby Marou Coast’s newest country music event with local talent The Vibe, Jen Mize, Soni Pocock and Kim Mccartin also in the line-up.

Bring your own picnic blanket and chill on the rolling hills with a refreshing Diablo bevvie and a tasty taco at the family-friendly event.

Entertainment will kick off from 12noon and when the sun starts to go down the stage will heat up with country rock favourite Busby Marou and Australia’s most respected country music artist Troy CassarDaley.

Promoters Jack Rabbit Events and Solbar have been gobsmacked by the support received to bring this fantastic concept to the Troy Cassar-Daley Sunshine Coast.

The first Pineapple Country in August this year was a huge success and brought music lovers together from all over Queensland.

“We are absolutely stoked with this line up as it caters for all pineapple and country music patrons, and we cannot wait to see everyone having a great time enjoying live music,” Beerwah local Shelly Le Vesconte from Jack Rabbit Events said.

“The Sunshine Coast is starved of a good country music event and we have a whole bunch of artists who are keen to be on the bill,” Shelly said.

“We want to bring something special to an area that often misses out. It’s humbling to know some of the best artists in the country are looking forward to this incredible show.”

Safety is the main priority and organisers will be working to ensure all guidelines and regulations are in line with state and federal government restrictions to provide a festival in a COVID safe way.

Considering selling before Christmas? Now is the time to act!

Spring has certainly sprung in the Hinterland with McGrath Estate Agents experiencing a noticeable increase in enquiry from interstate buyers. Residents of New South Wales and Victoria are growing frustrated with the ongoing lock downs and becoming more urgent in their motivation to secure a property in readiness of a future move to the region.

Leading Hinterland real estate specialist, Cassi Nuske, has recorded two sales in recent weeks to buyers from Canberra and Bendigo who’ve bought acreage properties based on video viewings alone.

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

“One family from Bendigo are delighted to have secured an 11-acre property on the edge of Landsborough which they plan to tenant for 6 months before they move to the area. Another couple from Canberra have job transfers to Caloundra and have bought in Glass House Mountains; they’re now anxiously waiting for border restrictions to ease so they can move into their lovely Hinterland home.”

Cassi reports that while both interstate buyers paid premium prices for their respective properties, each party is genuinely relieved to have secured a home so they can begin planning their next steps.

With buyer enquiry growing as we head into the traditionally busy real estate months of Spring, there’s never been a better time to achieve a premium property price!

YOU Living their values?

FRIENDS of the ABC and the Greens Party are no doubt two very reputable organisations – organisations that would always be totally upfront and not be people who lie or manipulate the truth.

I would never think that they would do anything other than stand by their strong convictions and values. I believe that these people with such strong convictions and beliefs would never use air conditioners in their homes or offices. They would live totally without the back up of coal-fired power coming into their domains.

I can never see them driving a petrolpowered car and they would also baulk at the use of EV cars such as Tesla until there was something concrete done to dispose of the toxic waste from the large lithium-ion batteries. As at this stage only about 5% are even looked at for recycling and also the fact that the lithium comes from mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo child labour mines.

As a follow on from my faith in these two reputable organisations and their values and beliefs, I totally believe that those who you see around with ‘I vote Greens’ and ‘It’s my ABC and I vote’ would also whole heartedly stand by these strong values as listed above and, in addition, would never take any money from the government through Centrelink etc, as there is a strong chance that money would come from the royalties of coal mining.

Good on you people. I tilt my hat in acknowledgement of your strong and virtuous stand.

Shane Daly Peachester

Environmentally important local land

DOES anyone know what or if environmental impact studies were done on the small parcel of land that Beech and Myla roads border at Landsborough?

I was surprised to see land starting to be cleared and roads put in. We have seen and have photos of many species of wildlife that live and survive in this small area.

Feather tail gliders amongst other possums, a snake that was all black except for a bright blue (not red) stomach, owls, microbats, all sorts of birds, frogs of many breeds and a small group of wallabies.

The land is steep in places with a honeycomb surface as water runs and has carved tunnels just under the surface. On the corner of the block is a small grave site, where there stands a small memorial plaque to the people whose graves were moved there, as the land they were buried on previously was disturbed.

All this is in a single block of undeveloped native bushland. So I was very surprised and saddened to see the developers move in and it happened so quickly. I wondered if any environmental studies had been done?

I was hoping that being so close to Australia Zoo and the fact it’s home to so many native species that the Irwin family would consider purchasing it as a Land for Wildlife property.

Does anyone have any further details about the development?

Emma Richard Landsborough

Beerwah development plans

FIRST, thanks to GC&M News for keeping us up to date with the current position regarding the refusal by the Sunshine Coast Council for the proposed development by Coles Property.

Then I would like to congratulate Coles Property for not accepting the council decision to block this development. Perhaps the Planning and Environment Court will have a less parochial view.

For most councillors, who don’t even live in the hinterland area, to make a negative decision affecting our lives smacks of a loss of democracy.

For council to say that the development “was too far outside the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme” is laughable when, at the drop of a hat, they can change the scheme.

For example, the “proposed” change to a number of properties in Hardwood Road at Landsborough from rural to residential, against the will of the people. While we are still waiting to hear a “decision” from council, the developer is so assured that his money-making venture is to go ahead that he has already delivered drainage and sewerage pipes to the site.

With the Coles development, the council’s excuse that the town will be segmented is just piffle. Talk of pedestrian access and public transport are again all furphies. Most people visit the shops by car as can be evidenced by the disaster which is the Beerwah Marketplace precinct.

To be able to spread the numbers of visits to other locations is a plus for the population and is certainly in the best interests of the community.

The best interests of the community would be further enhanced if we didn’t have to travel to Caloundra to visit a Coles store.

Council will no doubt dip into the public purse to fund their response to Coles. Fortunately, Wesfarmers has a substantial kitty and maybe before this gets to the court stage we can be rid of this dictatorial mob who are well passed their use-by date.

Glass House Mountains, are you gaining weight?

WELCOME to the new Glass House Mountains housing developments: Mt Ngungun Gardens, Crookneck Cascades, Mt Beerwah Heights, the Tibro Green.

No, these are not currently approved (that we know of) but is this the future that we seem to be rapidly rushing towards? It seems like every

IT

possible piece of vacant land within the Glass House township is becoming in-fill development. Similar growth in adjacent rural pockets just outside of town are appearing as well.

The Glass House Mountains National Parks are a major drawcard in the region for Australian and international tourists, as well as being a popular playground for our Brisbane neighbours. Its unique attraction continues to be well marketed. The mountains regularly feature in online and promotional videos, tourist brochures and stories promoting the Sunshine Coast, and for good reason.

The national parks borders clearly show each national park area is isolated from each other park area. The Mt Ngungun park area is unconnected to the Mt Coonowrin park area, which is unconnected to Mt Beerwah, etc.

The increasing urban development and national parks borders expose a dilemma. Given the current demands, it is not inconceivable that the township will grow to reach and bump up to many of the national parks borders in the future. Accepting that there may be plans to establish connecting walking tracks between park areas, if established these will just be narrow walking corridors in surrounding suburbia.

Without even daring to think what this invasion means for the natural flora and fauna of the area, what does such urban development actually look like?

It looks like this. For comparative purposes, note the heights of Mt Tibrogargan 364m and Mt Ngungun 253m, while the height of Mt Coot-tha in Brisbane is 302 metres. I assume we all know what the area adjoining Mt Coot-tha looks like.

Is the sacrifice of the Glass House Mountains area’s uniqueness worth a future that looks like that?

Vaccine hesitancy

PERHAPS some of the blame for the slow uptake of the current vaccines can be applied to the visual media.

Trypanophobia (yes I also had to look it up) is described as “the fear of needles” and it is a fact that some 10% of the population suffers from this phobia.

On every occasion when the subject of vaccination is discussed on TV, the visual is always one of a needle being inserted into the arm. Often countless times.

As an ex-serviceman, I can recall grown men fainting in the line up to be inoculated during basic training.

Perhaps the media would like to do us a favour by desisting from this practice.

I think we all know what is now involved in getting a jab.

Interstate problems

I UNDERSTAND there has been an increase in the sales of football jerseys and balls. I don’t know if it is true but I have heard some people who are experiencing problems travelling interstate are donning football jerseys, tucking a ball under their arm and being ushered through border crossings.

Ian Pollock Witta

Wallace weakness

I HAVE to completely endorse Mr Hoban’s comments regarding the total lack of assistance and engagement he received from the Member for Fisher, Mr Andrew Wallace, in dealing with his communications problem (Local mobile coverage woes continue, GC&M News August 31).

I have had a similar but unrelated experience. Mine was that I was told I couldn’t get an NBN service to my home just 2km from the Maleny CBD and in a largely residential area. An inferior satellite service was my only option.

This started in July 2020 when I approached Mr Wallace’s office about this situation. After six months and eight emails and telephone calls, I gave up with his office after receiving only generic responses saying how busy he was, accompanied by what was happening re COVID. Then the government announced another multi-billion dollar spend to upgrade NBN speeds available for those with an existing NBN service, leaving those without a service deeper in the doldrums – very much a have and have not offering. I wrote to the Prime Minister about this inequity.

By contrast, after a chance meeting with a Brisbane MP in January 2021,

he invited me to write to him about my problem and this inequity. He referred my letter directly to Communications Minister Fletcher with a copy to me.

Things began to happen in April.

After a few false starts, I now have an NBN wireless service connected to the

Peachester tower. I was initially told this tower was not available.

So why is it that other politicians can get things done when my local member did not?

Heritage listed local hall needs you!

MOOLOOLAH Valley Public Hall, built around 1905, is thought to be one of the oldest public halls in the Sunshine Coast area today. Located on the northern side of Bray Road in Mooloolah, the beautiful heritagelisted building is opposite the turn off to the Mooloolah State School in King Road and sits opposite the Mooloolah Community Centre, which was the original school building.

Over the years, the hall has been a cornerstone of the community. With its rich and vibrant history, it deserves to be appreciated, celebrated and maintained in the future by ongoing use and with more involvement and management by members of the community.

Many may not realise the hall is owned by the community. Since 1905 it has played a significant role in countless community activities and social events, including popular dances that drew crowds from miles around for many years, as well as all the major celebratory gatherings for the town.

If the old floorboards could talk, there would be many a tale of romance and intrigue over the years.

Mooloolah Valley Public Hall committee secretary Bev Smith said that while modern times had brought changes, the hall remained the property of the Mooloolah community and it now needed new direction.

As a community-owned hall, it is run entirely by volunteers, including some who have been involved for decades.

However, none of them are getting any younger.

Bev said the committee would welcome the energy and enthusiasm of new members to get involved in the ongoing management of this beautiful community asset.

“The present committee deserves the right to step aside safe in the knowledge that the hall will continue to be cared for by others in the community,” Bev said.

“They have generously given years of voluntary community care. However, they are now ready to pass the baton on.

“With community help, input and new ideas, the Mooloolah Public Hall will remain in this community for future generations,” she said.

Mooloolah Valley Public Hall In recent years, the hall has undergone some impressive upgrades and the current committee recognises and thanks help from Sunshine Coast Council and its grants programs to maintain and improve this lovely public hall.

The space has a lot of potential, so why not pop by and check it out. Better still, get involved with the running of

this vital community asset.

The hall management team is voted in every year at the committee’s annual general meeting (AGM).

This year the AGM will be held at the hall at 4pm on Thursday, October 14.

All local community members are invited and welcome to attend. www.facebook.com/ mooloolahpublichall

Chainsaws to restart at Maleny Woolworths site A DEVELOPMENT application quietly lodged with the Sunshine Coast Council last month will give many locals flashbacks to 2004.

It was a time when the national spotlight was on Maleny and hundreds of protesters battled the authorities – and the infamous Deen Brothers – to save the trees along the Obi Obi Creek site from being cleared to make way for the Woolworths supermarket.

h fight h was llost and d the h chainsaws h i The and excavators tore through the site, starting the boycott campaign ‘We won’t shop there’, including a sticker that was widely (and occasionally still seen) on local cars.

It seems the chainsaws are about to roar to life again at the site where tourists and locals now come to gaze at cavorting platypus in the clear flowing waters of the Obi Obi Creek.

The application is for an operational works permit to clear vegetation, almost all of which was planted as part of the original Woolworths development approval conditions.

Property owners Uniton Pty Ltd lodged the application in early August, along with an arborists report from Consult Arborist Pty Ltd. Prepared by principal arborist Matthew Duncan in early March, the report documented his independent

visual assessment of the trees close to and impacting the Woolworths building.

“The object of the assessment was to identify trees that are, or had been until recent works, directly impacting the side of the building causing maintenance and structural concerns,” Mr Duncan said in his report.

This included trees along the west and north sides of the building fronting the Obi Obi Creek, as well as to the south along the boundary with the Maleny Hotel.

He also made recommendations on what works were required to be carried out “on the grounds of health and safety, good arboricultural practice and to reduce infrastructure damage”.

Of the 28 trees assessed, Mr Duncan sounded the death-knell for 17, including five individual or groups of piccabeen palms, five blue quandongs, one lilly pilly, two Illawarra flame trees, one weeping lilly pilly, two bleeding hearts and one “unidentified” tree.

These trees, many assessed as mature or early mature, are earmarked for total removal.

A large bunya pine was spared, with pruning recommended instead of total removal.

The trees on the northern boundary were growing from the Maleny Hotel side and Mr Duncan recommended pruning these back. These included privets, camphor laurels and slash pines.

The council is now assessing the application. As it is code assessable, no community consultation will be accepted.

Baan Thai rebrand THE recent COVID-19 upheaval presented an unexpected but timely opportunity for the owners of Baan Thai to revitalise their venue and branding.

Owner John McCaw said that the past few months had been a flurry of activity with local tradespeople and services helping the restaurant with some

exciting new updates, newly created advertising on their car and a brand new website featuring an easy to use table booking system.

“We’re really excited about our new updates at the restaurant such as our new point of sale system, digital menu display,

new tables and a revamped outdoor courtyard area, all of which we’ve installed to further enhance people’s dining experience,” John said.

He is also looking forward to having the Baan Thai brand out and about in the local community with a new advertising wrap for the business featured on his car.

Using the same distinctive purple, yellow and pink colours used in print and in-venue advertising, John said he was looking forward to having the Baan Thai mobile billboard created by local business ATL Graphix seen around town.

Other updates include more outdoor warmth in the courtyard for cool evening nights and two big LED televisions featuring digital displays of menu items replacing the old menu board.

John said the new website was being finalized and should be up and running in the coming weeks. He is pleased that the restaurant is now fully digital, meaning a more effective ordering system, ability to easily split bills and more convenience for customers.

ELECTED LAST week I headed to Beerwah State High School to check out the canteen and the new display fridge we donated to the school to showcase healthy options to the students. It was great to hear from Aleisha and her amazing team that the fridge has been working a dream so far. The students have been choosing healthy options at a much higher rate and the fridge has been well and truly empty by the end of each day.

Construction underway

with Jason Hunt State Member for Caloundra

I was so excited to hear this outcome and I hope this is something we can roll out to all schools across the area.

The next parliamentary sitting week, from Monday September 14, will be one to remember as the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill will be debated by the Queensland Parliament. The VAD Bill seeks to give terminally ill and suffering people a choice at the end of their life and has been drafted very well by the Queensland Law Reform Commission, presenting a wellbalanced and considered Bill for us to vote on.

I’d like to thank all constituents who contacted me about this Bill as I think it’s so important to take the time to know your local politician’s views on such a personal subject. I believe that everyone should have the choice of dying with dignity – and this Bill does just that. It gives a choice for those who have a terminal diagnosis to decide whether this is the right decision for them.

A friendly reminder that strengthening and repair works will be undertaken on Dalton Bridge this September school holidays. The works span Mary River at the north eastern end of Eastern Mary River Road, Conondale. I encourage the community to follow the road closure signage as the single lane bridge will be closed from, 9am-2pm Monday to Friday. I appreciate your patience and consideration while we deliver the works.

COVID-19 community vaccination centre returning soon

PLANNING is under way for the Caloundra Indoor Stadium to return as a community vaccination location. The centre is scheduled to open on Friday, October 8 and will run until December.

Council, along with Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Services, will keep the community informed when this vaccination centre is due to reopen but, in the meantime, all eligible residents should register now to be vaccinated.

Bush care business

with Winston Johnston Division 5 Sunshine Coast Council planted 2,963 native trees, shrubs and groundcovers, and hand weeded 78 wheelie bins of weeds from council’s environment reserves. Thank you to Glasshouse Christian College year 9 and Nambour Christian College year 11 who partnered with BushCare to enable their students to participate as part of their community service programs. For more information visit council’s website and search BushCare Mates.

School holiday workshop

Thank you to all the students who volunteered in council’s BushCare Mates program over the past 12 months. A combined effort from 11 schools/youth groups, 455 students and 38 teachers

Combined COVID-19 and flu vaccine trials Your blood makes a difference

THE University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) is seeking volunteers to take part in clinical trials for an Australian-first study to assess a combined COVID-19 and influenza vaccine. The trials will take place at USC Clinical Trials clinics in Brisbane, Moreton Bay and on the Sunshine Coast.

For the trials, the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine will be combined with an influenza vaccine candidate, NanoFlu, to provide a two-in-one immunisation.

Some trial recipients will receive both vaccine candidates separately and some will receive the combined vaccine.

The level of immune response of participants will then be assessed.

USC Clinical Trials is seeking healthy volunteers aged 50-70 years to take part in the research.

The study will require participants to attend one of the three clinics up to

eight times over six months. Eligible participants will be paid for their time.

Dr Nischal Sahai, who will oversee the study at USC Clinical Trials South Bank, said the combined proteinbased influenza and COVID-19 vaccine candidate was expected to have some important advantages over existing vaccines.

“We are initially targeting older adults for this study because this population bears a disproportionate burden of morbidity and mortality for both influenza and COVID-19,” Dr Sahai said.

USC Clinical Trials director Lucas Litewka said this was the first time in Australia that a COVID-19 vaccine had been combined with an influenza vaccine to present a single jab approach.

Those interested in applying can find more information at www.usc.edu.au/covid

THE Red Cross Donormobile is in town this month, so why not give blood.

It can make a critical contribution to 22 different medical treatments and positively impact countless lives. Just one blood donation can potentially save as many as three lives.

Queensland’s Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said the state’s blood stocks were low. She invited everyone to roll up their sleeves and give blood at their local donor centre or Red Cross mobile blood service van.

“I would urge everyone who can give blood to reach out to their local donor centre and make a booking,” Dr Young said.

“Donated blood can only be stored for 42 days and we need tens of thousands of donations every week, so it’s vital we give blood regularly.”

It doesn’t matter what type of blood

donation a person makes – blood, plasma, platelets – as it can all be donated just one week after having the COVID-19 vaccination.

“After you get the jab, go online and check your eligibility to give blood then simply make an appointment. It’s a very easy experience from start to finish, plus it doesn’t cost a thing except an hour of your time,” Dr Young said.

The Red Cross Donormobile will be in the district from September 20-24. It will be at the Maleny Showground on Monday from 7am-2pm and Tuesday from 11.30am-6pm. It will then travel to Beerwah, in Simpson Street near Shell Service Station, on Wednesday from 10.30am-3.30pm, Thursday from 11.30am-6pm and Friday from 7am-1pm.

Blood can be donated every 12 weeks.

If like me you’re a fan of sharing your garden with native fauna, then here’s a few suggestions on providing habitat for our native animals.

The bulk of plants used in mainstream native gardens are cultivar Grevilleas, Banksias and Bottle Brushes. These are all amazing flowering plants that add colour, variety and are great nectar sources, but if they are the dominant plants in your native garden, then aggressive birds such as Rainbow Lorikeets and the Common (or Noisy) Myna will often dominate to the exclusion of more timid birds. My tip here is to add different layers to your planting such as local native groundcovers and grasses; a diversity of local shrubs and trees; and bushier planting that give the smaller or timid birds somewhere to hide.

Traditional responses to insect attacks in your garden is to spray an array of chemicals - however, the vast majority of our native birds either will eat insects if the opportunity arises or live wholly on insects.

These insects although appearing a nuisance to us are crucial food for many of our feathered fauna. Learning to share your garden with our native fauna has many rewards, so join us in Going Wild in Your Garden.

Axel is such a gorgeous natured cat, sadly he hass a rather serious heart murmur. He’s sweet, smoochy and just loves to be around people and we’re looking for someone who can provide that companionship for Axel. His prognosis is devastating for us but to know and interact with Axel you wouldn’t know he had any issues. We’re seeking a quiet home, free from other cats, dogs or children, one where he can relax and soak up your company for the remaining time he has left. He must be an inside only cat.

h retirement ti th Sophia is a lovely older girl who is seeking her home.

She comes with all the love and cuddles of a couch companion but also enjoys getting out for her daily walks. She is a girl who knows what she wants and that is to be the only one you love; other dogs and cats are not for her. If you are looking for a companion to spend days laying in the sun or on the couch, then Sophia is for you. Her current foster carer will be moving away soon, and we’d love to see her in her permanent foster home as soon as possible.

The Range Croquet Club

Contributed by Ken Barker SARAH Widin 26, in a confluence of numbers, pegged out against Vince Carbery 7 on Thursday August 26. The same could not be said of Ken Barker who managed 12 against Val Carbery 5. Lovely, benign spring weather meant enjoying the day seemed more important than making hoops. Kath Smith and Lynette Evans scored 4 against Wallace Roy 6 while Bev Sockhill and Janelle Wilson made 6 against Sally Adams and Helen Andrews 9.

Sunday August 29, with storms predicted but not arriving, saw Janelle being farewelled. Janelle has been a great supporter of the club and is the current division four club champion. We wish her well in Canberra and she will be sorely missed. Play and celebration don’t mix and scores for the day confirmed this. Nick Cram and Janelle won a close game against Stuart Craig and Val 7-6. Sarah, with the monkey off her back, put the pedal to the metal after her partner Ken departed midgame to claw back a win against Miggy Mackey and Vince 10-6.

The last Lochwood game for 2021 was played on Wednesday September 1 at home against Bribie who fielded Greg Whymark, a state player, and Ken Wallman. Sarah, Donna Manning, Nick and Val played for The Range. Greg fought back late in his game against Donna to peg out, winning 26-18. Sarah restored the balance by winning her game comfortably against Ken 26-5. In the doubles, Val and Nick went down in a tight game 14-16. Congratulations to

sport weekend of September 11.

Bribie winning the rubber two games to one.

Thursday September 2 saw just five people on the lawns. In what turned out to be a friendly, Vince played Bev and Sally, while Val played Lynette. No scores were recorded.

On the weekend of September 4-5 Ken, Janelle and Donna played at Windsor Club. All three had fun. Many thanks to Windsor Club for organising this enjoyable tournament under the shadow of COVID. At home, a six-ball game was played under threatening skies on Sunday September 5. The result was Vince 10, Val 5 and Sarah 10.

Play days are Thursdays and Sundays at 1pm for 1.30pm. Contact Sarah Widin for other days. Coaching is available on Saturdays at 8am.

IN the first Ball Games Carnival since 2005, Peachester State School has commenced a tradition that many of the staff and parents enjoyed as children themselves.

The original trophy, which was started in 1994, was reclaimed by Stanley House, who were the trophy winners in 2005 as well.

The students learned tunnel ball, leader ball, captain ball and under and overs in preparation for the carnival.

The students look forward to making it part of the new tradition at Peachester School and are planning ahead to 2022 when Coochin House will get the chance to show their talents.

Unfortunately, one Wagtail became lame and had to retire hurt. A quick SOS call to another Wagtail and the match against the Eumundi Mixtures was able to continue. While the outcome was not one for the Wagtails to shout about, the tennis was great and the on-court camaraderie was fantastic.

Don’t assume you’re the sole trustee of all the right answers and don’t dismiss alternative views before they’re even heard. The planets have sudden shifts of mood and energy this week and so do you.

If there’s anything important you want to discuss or organise, leave it until week’s end.

You’re less likely to stir up a hornet’s nest.

Dust off recent confusion and pull your self-esteem out of its tailspin. With inspiration and drive steering the way, it’s time to regain control. Romance encourages intimacy and warmth, although it’s a week for tenderness rather than torrid passion.

The planets also inspire imaginative ways to improve your income.

Stay alert Scorpio – this week could be laced with deception. Someone you don’t know very well may try to establish a closer friendship to extract a favour. This is fine as long as you know what the game is and play by your own rules. It’s also important to set intentions for the next few months. Create a vision board.

You’re probably feeling better Sagittarius as there’s a noticeable increase on your can-do list. This could be some higher spiritual element creeping into the equation.

Whatever’s happening, you’re tapping into something extraordinary. With good fortune on side as well, why not take a risk or two?

Use all blessings to your advantage.

Now, here’s a better week as others seem more prepared to grant your requests. By now you’ve probably accumulated a very long wish list, so gently start hinting at what you want. They say that there’s a time and a place for everything. For you it’s now. There’s also focus on rebuilding friendships.

If you’ve taken to working on a hunch, your success rate now runs high.

Planetary trends lend their weight to your powers of intuition this week, enabling some instinctive decision making when it really matters. As a bonus, financial gains look set to boost spending power. Sometimes, Aquarians do have all the fun!

When individuals are drawn to each other, the energies can occasionally be unstable. Sometimes it’s two steps forward and one step back. The right balance for love or friendship to blossom often takes patience.

If you need to applaud another’s good fortune, please do. Your support matters, especially this week.

Cosmic forces allow you to reclaim your stride. Still, expect the occasional hurdle.

Romantically, make your move after the 21st when there’s a better chance of success.

Mid-week also instigates financial changes.

If you’re finalising negotiations, make sure agreement are committed to ink. Not everyone is trustworthy.

It’s a week when meditation, gentle exercise or any form of counselling should work to your advantage. If you feel more spiritually protected, you are. Greater compassion is shown to those in need. The best news? Heart and home unite. A change of address is also likely soon. Look to the next few months for further studies or retraining.

This is a truth-or-dare kind of week – a time, perhaps, to talk from the heart.

Maybe the answers won’t be what you wanted to hear, but at least everything is out in the open. If there’s a call for repairs, either to your home or a relationship, consider it like a fresh coat of paint – far less damaging than a sledgehammer. Keep an open mind.

The world’s getting smaller but it can still seem like a big, lonely place when you start to question how much you really have in common with those around you. Major planets are in the same boat right now, feeling very distant. Perhaps it’s time to find new solutions to old problems. There’s little point sticking to the tried and true if it’s not working.

You can expect too much from relationships and when your overly romantic requirements are short-changed, disappointment may follow. Ask yourself: have I been too demanding or withdrawn? Sometimes we erect walls to protect ourselves but, in the process, shut others out. This is the week to demolish some of those not-so-necessary barriers.

A plodding Mercury is prompting you to tie up any loose ends – sooner rather than later. Pay outstanding bills, reorganise your cupboards and rid yourself of any unnecessary baggage. In the same way, it’s not a great week for new ventures. To stay in the planetary flow, delay starting anything new until early next month.

Mercury plays tricks on your mind this week – you may have bizarre dreams or disturbed sleep, or lost keys, being forgetful or physical exhaustion. Don’t rely on your memory – write down important details.

If possible, retreat. Slip into something comfortable, fire up your social media and indulge in some well-earned R&R.

Despite your best efforts, a tetchy Mercury seems all too happy to point out life’s limitations. Still, it’ll take more than a tetchy cosmos to choke the greater dream.

Use tact and your natural Sagittarian charm to resolve dilemmas. Soon, you’ll have the cosmos back on side, both at work and at home.

Prepare for the unpredictable Capricorn. Thanks to a delinquent Mercury, you’re journeying though an anything-canhappen-and-probably-will phase. Maybe it’s time to be less indulgent and, perhaps, try not to cause disruption. Your relationships are also at odds, as is your bank balance. A week for caution.

Aquarians notice that they can’t steer situations as much as usual but, after you stop blaming past misfortunes, you come to understand that you alone are responsible for your life. You also realise that lasting contentment can only come from within.

Life becomes less of an uphill struggle when attuned to your natural rhythm.

Change doesn’t come easily to Pisceans. This week, however, you start to learn new ways of dealing with life. It won’t be easy to make certain changes but letting go is exactly what you should do. Stop worrying about the things that you may leave behind and instead focus on everything waiting in the future.

Sometimes a time-out does the trick Aries. Take a day or two off from whatever is making you tetchy (a retrograde Mercury, no doubt) and you should soon start to feel right again. Talking to an objective friend can also be of assistance. It could help you to stabilise a situation and then make positive changes from there.

You may need to step back and focus on the present Taurus. Get yourself grounded rather than spin out over variables. Now you’ve reached this inevitable crossroads, you need to weigh up recent decisions or actions. Forget the what-ifs and should-haves. We never truly make mistakes in life – just gain experience and wisdom.

There’s no shame in moments of weakness. You feel vulnerable as you’ve been so trusting. Don’t be so hard on yourself Gemini. Life’s been tough lately and, despite all, you’re still standing strong. By week’s end, the planets push for spiritual and intellectual growth. This could mean learning new disciplines and applying them to daily life.

Mercury turns retrograde in your sector of house and home. Papers go missing, files are lost, electronics break down. Don’t fret. Delay unnecessary meetings, don’t put your house on the market and try not to travel.

You can, however, trash whatever seems outmoded or unproductive. And it wouldn’t hurt to pay extra attention to your health.

This week helps you actualise your values in life. If you value money and possessions, this time could mark a peak in cash flow. If your values are more esoteric, then expect growth in this area. Of course there’s no reason why it can’t be a combination of the two. Even the most spiritual individuals are entitled to their share of material comforts.

Understandably, Virgos feel entitled to grumble when a backsliding Mercury stalls your life. This week could be a time of miscommunications – mail is delayed, phone calls aren’t returned, emails get lost or messages misinterpreted. However, if you approach this with patience and awareness it becomes less bothersome. Stay adaptable.

The winter boots DID you hear about the teacher who was helping one of her prep students put on his boots?

He asked for help and she could see why.

Even with her pulling and him pushing, the little boots still didn’t want to go on.

By the time they got the second boot on, the teacher had worked up a sweat.

She almost cried when the little boy said: “Teacher, they’re on the wrong feet.”

She looked and, sure enough, they were.

It wasn’t any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on.

She managed to keep her cool as, together, they worked to get the boots back on, this time on the correct feet.

The boy then announced: “These aren’t my boots.”

She bit her tongue, rather than screaming, like she wanted to.

Once again, she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off his little feet.

No sooner had they got the boots off when he said: “They’re my brother’s boots. My Mum made me wear ‘em.”

Now she didn’t know if she should laugh or cry.

She mustered up what grace and courage she had left to wrestle the boots on his feet again.

Helping him into his coat, she asked: “Now, where are your mittens?”

He said: “I stuffed ‘em in the toes of my boots.”

She will be eligible for parole in three years.
