I

know that it is way past New Year’s Day, but from all of us at Team Glasshouse Country & Maleny we wish you all a Happy New Year. We are looking forward to working with many of you once again this year, and to forming new relationships with those who are keen to work with us.

This year over the Christmas break, Brownie and I packed up the car and headed south for a road trip with an extensive catch-up list of family and friends between Glass House Mountains and Wollongong and we spent loads of time relaxing, eating out, maybe having a couple of drinks, and definitely doing loads of talking.

Something I realised about this type of break is that we spend a lot of time talking and loads of time answering questions about what we do.

Many of our long-time friends and relatives don’t quite understand how a community newspaper works, so it was a great opportunity for us to talk about ourselves.

It made me realise that I can simply say I spend my days interviewing people and writing stories – but it reminded me of how fortunate we feel that somehow we also do more than share the news of what is happening in our local towns.

That we are able to participate, assist, encourage, help and generally make our communities that little bit more connected – and to feel the value in participating in our communities – is something really rewarding.

Here's to a great 2017 and I am looking forward to hearing all your news!

Squishing his hands through playdough and channelling his inner castle creator are just some of the things that Charlie Pringle is pumped about doing now that he is a big kindy boy.

Charlie is the third generation on his mother’s side to have a special connection to the Beerwah Kindergarten.

While Charlie will walk through the front gate, bright-eyed and eager to play on January 23, his mother Madeleine Weyer did the same 20 years ago as part of the class of 1997.

Ms Weyer’s mother, Helen White, now a teaching assistant at Glass House Mountains State School, found her career calling after she undertook work experience at the kindergarten while her three children attended.

Ms Weyer said her time at Beerwah Kindergarten is still something she cherishes.

“A lot of friends I came here with I am still in touch with,” she said.

“It was wonderful, when we came in for orientation, to see so much has changed to the layout of the place – but the front of the kindy is still the same, it is very distinctive.”

Helen White, Charlie Pringle and Madeleine Weyer Ms White said she had fond memories of being on the fundraising committee and forging life-long friendships with other parents during her time at the kindy.

“I’ve seen it grow and thrive into the centre it is now,” she said.

“The resources have grown so much too and the natural playground area is conducive to imaginative play and it is such a caring centre, with a wealth of experience in the teachers and their assistants.

“I just had such a wonderful experience through my kids and I am looking forward to it now through my grandkids.”

Kindergarten co-director Katie Piva said they looked forward to getting to know their new kindy friends and having another year’s worth of adventures together.

If you have little ones heading off the Kindy or Prep next week, why not send us a photo of their first day in their uniforms and what their comments were when you picked them up about their thoughts about the experience? Email through to editorial@gcnews.com.au photos need to be 150kb or bigger.

A particular highlight for film lovers will be this year’s special guest, Australia’s favourite film critic David Stratton, who will participate in the event and share his enthusiasm for cinema.

David is well-known from his long running movie shows on SBS and ABC TV with Margaret Pomeranz.

Maleny Film Society’s president, Lorraine Duffy, said the society felt very fortunate to have David Stratton play a part in the festival.

“He will be introducing films to the Festival’s patrons, and will share his love of cinema throughout the festival,” she said.

“Throughout the year we screen the best of world cinema, but we like to have at least one weekend focusing on the best Australian Films (that we have not already screened) from the past year.

talk by film scholar Jeannette Delamoir, who will relate issues raised to the wider context of Australian cinema and society.

A forum on the future of film will be held at 4.30pm on the Saturday discussing how films are now produced, distributed and consumed in new ways, and this session will consider the implications for regional Australia. A panel comprising different viewpoints will stimulate discussion about ways to promote good cinema experiences for all ages and encourage creative participation in this art form.

Festival Passes start from $35.00 for members and $55.00 for non members. Individual movie screening tickets and tickets for the symposium and panel discussion are also available online.

To check out the complete program head to the Maleny Film Society www.malenyfilmsociety. com.au where you can purchase tickets and find out more about the great value memberships they offer.

Maleny Film Society would like to thank the AFF gold sponsors Healthy Homewares and Maleny Credit Union.

“We have a wonderful program lined up featuring comedy-fantasy ‘Girl Asleep’ and comedy-drama ‘Pawno’ showing on Friday, 2.30pm and 7.15pm and dramas ‘Broke’ and ‘Goldstone’ showing on the Saturday at 2.30pm and 7.15pm.

“With our close relationship with the Heart of Gold International Short Film Festival, we are delighted to bring you our pick of their Australian Shorts for 2016 – ‘Dream Baby’ and ‘The Spa’.

“We also like to support up and coming film makers, so this year we are screening two of the best shorts from Griffith Film School in Brisbane, ‘Hubris’ and ‘Little Kingdom’.

“There is a ‘future of film’ Panel Discussion on the Saturday and a Symposium on Australian film on the Sunday led by Dr Jeanette Delamoir.”

As part of all film screenings a shared meal is available on both nights. On Friday night there will be noodle boxes for sale for $14.00. A sit down meal for $18.00 will be available on the Saturday evening.

The festival features two talk sessions. Patrons can discuss the films at a symposium with morning tea on Sunday featuring an illustrated

Since the election in July 2016, Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace has been working tirelessly to establish his presence in the community and in consultation with residents, formulate his priorities for the Fisher electorate.

“It is incumbent upon me as the Federal Member to do all I can to ensure that this electorate is the place of choice for families and businesses to achieve their maximum potential in education, employment and retirement,” Mr Wallace said.

“I have endeavoured to be an effective, solid local Federal Member who engages with the grass roots community. I am not a career politician. I have been in small business for the past 30 years. I know the trials and tribulations of running a small business on the Sunshine Coast and being the father of four daughters, I understand the issues facing young families.”

Mr Wallace recently sent a survey to all households in the electorate asking for feedback on their desires for the Fisher community and how they think Mr Wallace can better serve them in Canberra and closer to home.

“Residents of the Sunshine Coast have so far communicated their support for my ongoing campaign to see the continuation of the Bruce Highway upgrade beyond the Caloundra Road interchange to Sippy Downs and the finalisation of the North Coast Rail Duplication.”

Also on Mr Wallace’s priority list for Fisher is funding for mental health research and an MRI machine for the Thompson Institute in Birtinya. Mr Wallace will also be advocating for additional funding for education and community

groups, support for small business and improved telecommunications.

“In the short term, I have turned my efforts to fighting to secure the 15 additional medical placements needed at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH).

“Due to the advocacy of both myself and Ted O’Brien, Member for Fairfax, the Federal Government is currently undertaking a review into the current allocation of places across Australia to ensure that the correct amount of medical school places are provided where they are needed most.

“This review is expected to be completed by April and once we know the outcome more certainty will be provided around the future of the Medical School at SCUH. “My door is always open so if you have a comment to make or feedback to share please head to my website or Facebook page and have your say,” Mr Wallace concluded.

If you would like to catch up with Mr Wallace a little closer to home he will also be hosting a Listening Post at the Visitor Information Centre at Glass House Mountains on Monday, January 30, from 3.30pm to 5.30pm.

Ancient forest reserve comes of age

MOOLOOLAH DENTAL SURGERY David Zimmermann Mark Hall

Have you been past Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve lately?

If you haven’t, the $5 million redevelopments are coming along nicely and the much loved recreation and conservation park is coming of age.

According to a Sunshine Coast Council spokesperson, the main structure of the building is now complete and the internal and external features are currently being fitted.

“You can now start to see the building’s character emerging from behind the construction fencing,” the spokesperson said.

“The hand-crafted rock feature walls adorning the façade of the building are completed, offering a stunning contrast to the natural timber lining of the exterior walls.

“The canopy board walk is also almost complete.

This has been an engineering feat with prefabricated sections lifted in by crane so as to leave the forest undisturbed and will provide visitors with a unique perspective of the forest.”

Part of the remodelling includes new interpretive and educational displays and resources, with these elements beginning to be installed.

“The interpretive display will feature state-ofthe-art interactive components including touch screens, children’s adventure activities and a Mary Cairncross Rainforest After Dark exhibit that mimics a night-time experience of the forest for visitors,” explained the Council spokesperson.

“The viewing deck overlooking the Glass House Mountains now has its beautiful steel roof arbour structure. This was inspired by the shape of a blackbean pod and will eventually provide a trellis for Richmond birdwing butterfly vines.”

If progress continues at the current rate, Council anticipates that the building will be on track to open in late-February.

With the planned increase in activity at the centre, particularly once the building renewal is complete, the Mary Cairncross team will also be on the lookout for additional volunteers to assist visitors to the new centre.

Vale George Pike George was born at Ehlma Siding via Warra on the Darling Downs, Queensland, on November 5, 1918.

He was the second child of ten and the first son.

George’s father and a friend (Jack Betts) farmed a soldier settlement block, but in 1923 they exchanged their farm for one in Glass House Mountains.

George began school at Coochin State School in 1924. He recalls his father taking him across a log spanning Sandy Creek and, with an axe, blazing relevant trees on the way so he could find his way.

The pineapple industry was a hard one for a large family and, after only one year of rural school in Nambour, George had to leave school and work to help support the large family – locally and then in Toowoomba.

But George was accomplished at self education. In his 50s, George taught himself the piano and then learnt German from Mrs Dreschler in Glass House.

George enlisted in the Air Expeditionary Royal Australian Air Force at the outbreak of the Second World War. In 1942 George gained an Honours degree in Aeronautical Engineering, with Honours in Metallurgy, from the RAAF School of Engineering, after which he trained as a pilot at Mildura and served with the First Tactical Air Force in the South West Pacific, with deployments including the Philippines and repatriation of Prisoners of War from Changi (Singapore) and Indo-China (now Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia).

He was awarded a number of decorations, including 1939-45 Stars; the Pacific Star; Philippines Liberation Medal; 1939-1945 War Service Medal; 1939-1945 Service Medal and 1945-1954 Malaysian Campaign Medal.

www.gcnews.com.au

George met his wife Merle (deceased, 1996) at a dance in Narromine and married in January 1942. George always says that this was the beginning of a romance that lasted almost 57 years.

After share farming at Gympie for 18 months, George returned to Glass House Mountains in December 1947 where he and Merle had purchased a property. He cleared the land by hand and the family lived in a tent and then a shed.

He later acquired an additional farm and paid for it by cutting and selling the timber, helped by Mr Dave Mawhinney.

Over the years he was at the forefront of farming mechanisation and, with a close friend Mr Reg Bambling, was responsible for many of the initiatives now being improved and used.

George was actively involved in the community.

At various times he was Chairman of the Scouting Movement, United Fruit Growers (Glasshouse Mountains) and the School Committee.

He was also one of the original members of the Glasshouse RSL and was involved since its beginning.

He was Chairman for a long period and then Patron.

His services were noted and in 2003 he was awarded the Anzac of the Year award for services given.

In 1969 George and Merle began travelling overseas together extensively until Merle’s death.

Indeed there were not too many countries in the world that they had not visited.

In February 2012, George entered the then Embracia, now Glasshouse Views. He loved it and for a long period he was active in all the activities.

George passed away peacefully on December 31, 2016.

Witta Rec Club rocks in New Year

By Lea Parkes

If you didn’t make it to Witta for New Year’s Eve this year word is you missed a great event with 654 adults and 100 children ‘partying on’ under the stars to some great music!

One of the evening’s highlights was the $10,000.00 cash prize won by newcomer and local man Wayne Maloney.

The winners of the $100.00 prizes were Shaun and Monika Howard, Ken Burchill, Daniel and Bambi Hodgkin, Deborah Green, Robyn and Peter Wynn, Lisa Reye, Marilyn Johnston, Craig Pickering, Glenys McLean and Colin Kelly, Adrian and Jo Donaldson.

Witta Recreation Club President Lynda Burgess said the night was fantastic and those involved, including the twenty committee members and volunteers who helped set the event up on Friday and Saturday and then turned up on Sunday to help clean up and to serve a revival breakfast for 100 people, were just amazing!

“An event such as this shows just how generous our community is. We even had two of the winners of the $100.00 donate their winnings, and a 10 year old who found $50.00 on the ground donated it back to the club,” Lynda said.

While the event was an absolute cracker, the committee have identified things that can be improved for next year and, following on from

Brian is well known locally for forming and developing various choral groups, and the training and development of a number of local Musical Directors.

Apart from his reputation in Queensland, Brian is also highly respected throughout Australia, and internationally from Asia through to Europe where he has held numerous seminars and workshops on choral and harmony singing.

If you've ever been interested in becoming a singer, whatever your age group, you will delight in the quality of sound and the excitement that can be generated by four part harmony singing.

End of an era; start of a new adventure After 23 years, Andrew Goodall is about to close the doors on one of the longest running photography galleries in Australia – and one of the longest standing businesses in Montville, Nature’s Image Photography.

Self-taught from a young age, what started as a hobby, grew into an obsession and then a business. Andrew’s photography depicts the simple beauty of nature, without over-reliance on

digital enhancement and his framed photography now hangs on walls all around the world.

“I started selling my work at markets in Brisbane,” Andrew said.

“When I met my wife Monica in 1992, we travelled around Australia taking photographs for our business. We were looking for somewhere to settle and found a shop in Montville.

“In April 1993 we opened a small gallery that proved successful within months, so we moved into larger premises.

“That was 23 years ago. Monica has since taken up other creative interests including homeschooling our nine year old daughter, while I’ve run the gallery.”

Since 2008, Andrew has conducted the highly successful ‘Photography Essentials’ workshop in Maleny. The practical, weekend workshop has taken over 1500 beginners from auto mode to manual and turned hobbyists into professionals.

“I teach how to take creative control of your camera and uncover secrets to capturing great landscape and wildlife photographs.”

In recent years, Andrew has discovered a new passion – hosting photography tours. He has taken small groups of enthusiasts to the Northern Territory (three times), the South Island of NZ, The Kimberley in WA, the Red Centre and to Norfolk Island (twice).

His tours often sell out quickly with many ‘regulars’ keen to join every one. In May this year Andrew hosts a tour to Vanuatu to photograph

ROC Black Leather

waterfalls, lagoons, beaches, tropical flora and fauna… even a live volcano.

“The tours are a great opportunity for photographers of all levels to hone their skills, learn new ones and connect with fellow photographers – while enjoying some stunning locations. There are a few spots left on the Vanuatu tour and we’re planning for Tasmania, the Blue Mountains and more exciting destinations in Australia and overseas.

“Each tour is professionally hosted by a travel company which leaves me free to focus on the photography and the photographers.”

Andrew’s decision to close the gallery in Montville doesn’t mean an end to his photography career – far from it.

He is already working on plans to launch a series of more advanced nature-based photography workshops including macro photography, bird photography, night photography and more.

He has started writing a new e-book to follow up on his highly popular ‘DSLR Photography in Plain English’. Closing the gallery also opens up more free time for touring in the future.

“After 23 years, it will be a big step to close the gallery doors, but all these projects have been buzzing around in my head for a while and I really need time to develop them – time I don’t have while tied to a seven day a week business.

“In some ways it will be the end of an era, but I can’t wait to take people – cameras in hand – on many new adventures.”

Community Group

Updates

Scleroderma Support Group Maleny Hospital Auxiliary Contributed by Cheyenne MacLeod Members of the Sunshine Coast and Hinterland Scleroderma Support Group meet regularly at the Nambour RSL to enjoy coffee and swap a story or two each month, which has become a welcoming distraction from the daily difficulties of living with the disease.

The aim of the group, among other things, is to help raise awareness within the community of the disease and its associated conditions and symptoms.

While the disease is mostly unknown it can have devastating effects on patients with one of the group passing away from complications of the disease just prior to Christmas.

Anyone is welcome to come along to these informal gatherings. If you would like to know more about the group you can contact 0417 651 733.

Once again the friendly people of our area have responded generously to our yearly raffle. Tickets were sold outside the IGA Maleny from early November to mid-December.

Everyone responded to the smiling faces of our volunteers who staffed the table each Wednesday and Friday. The first prize of a gourmet hamper packed with wonderful Christmas goodies and cheer was won by Ronne Wildman of Maleny.

Christmas Festival committee members Colin and Lindel Kielly, with Mark Burgunder and Karen Shaw, present the cheque to MNC co-ordinator Nooreen Harris

Funds handed over

Maleny Commerce were really pleased to be able to hand over a cheque for $2,500.00, raised from the Christmas Raffle as part of last year’s Christmas Festival, to the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre (MNC). The funds will go towards disaster relief items to support local families in need.

Leanda Talks Happy new year everyone, what an inspiring time of year as New Year’s resolutions are at their strength.

Ambitious goals, proactive minds, determination in our spirits.

Leanda Weynton The most Naturopath ND & Yoga Teacher popular resolution I see is weight loss.

So is it FAT or the WEIGHT we are wanting to release?

You see weight comes in many forms. Extra kilos from Christmas or unconscious food choices over the year, can create excess fat.

So, yes let’s get rid of that by making better conscious choices and changing habits.

But are you one that struggles to lose weight?

Are you a type that feels like everything you do is not helping you reach your goals?

Have you been here before and set the same New Year’s resolution?

Then maybe it’s time to look a little deeper to find out that the weight you’re holding is not necessarily just from too much Christmas pudding.

As a Naturopathic doctor my role is to look at

all aspects of the individual, making sure the body is chemically balanced and has adequate nutrients levels; making sure the body has mobility through movement and addressing any inflammation that may be present.

It’s important to look at where the mind state is with any stressors, anxiety or environment factors that may contribute to weight.

And most importantly the person’s spirit – what are the ambitions or limitations of the individual, what is your personality type, and what is the passion that drives you and how we can use this to make your goals successful and lasting.

Here are some important ingredients to help with the journey of weight loss.

• Nutrients – your body needs fuel and this fuel comes from plant based nutrition. So eat the colours of the rainbow from a selection of fruits and vegetables every day.

• Green tea – is fantastic as a liver cleanse and antioxidant to rid the body of any nasty impurities.

• Garcinia cambogia – a herb to support sugar, fat and carbohydrate metabolism • Cinnamon – to regulate blood glucose and reduce craving and excess hunger.

• Protein – helps the body repair and build muscle, also keeps the body energised for longer.

• Yoga – gives the body mobility, calms the mind, reduces stress and lowers BP • Consultation with a naturopath – gives a comprehensive overview of what the individual needs to achieve optimal health.

CHIA SEED PUDDING Paleo, Gluten Free, Sugar Free

¼ cup of chia seed 1 cup filtered water ½ teaspoon of cinnamon 1 scoop of Physique protein (chocolate or vanilla depending on preference) 2 tablespoon goji berries (optional) Mix all ingredients well in a bowl and let sit for 15minutes. Mix again after 15minutes as it will have thickened a little.

Pour mixture into serving cups and place into the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours (overnight is great).

Serve with seasonal fruits.

Ink hasn’t even dried and sales are lined up ready to go!

2017 is already shaping up to be an awesome year for the team behind Transportable Shade Sheds and their growing base of small business owners who have decided to seize the opportunity to become resellers.

With the confidence of selling a 100% Australian designed and manufactured product, which continues to adapt and evolve with market demand, small business owners and their customers have access to a multitude of highly adaptable shade and storage options suitable to a huge range of environments … the possibilities Business feature are endless!

Daniel Sawtell is in the process of finalising the paperwork to become one of the first cabs off the rank as a reseller in Western Australia. With 14 years experience in the sheet metal work / fabrication industry – this expertise ties in well with the products on offer through the extensive Transportable Shade Shed range – allowing him to draw on this practical knowledge when selling the products and assisting customers.

Based in Bunbury which is two hours south of Perth, Daniel has only just finalised his business name and the commercial details and has a sale ready to go!

To start off with, Daniel has enlisted the help of his dad Arthur to help establish the business. His dad runs a successful patio solutions business in the area and has over 40 years experience.

From a young age, Daniel has helped his dad put up sheds, patios and garages – together the two locally run businesses will complement each other in providing shade solutions for the Bunbury and surrounding South West area – which the two local family members know well.

“I love that the products can be used in so many different situations and are so adaptable and easy to install. The fact that the sheds are transportable is a massive winner for customers who are loving that they are not fixed permanently in place. Another huge bonus factor is the price with most other structures that size up to double the price!” says Daniel.

Although the ink is still drying, Daniel has been jumping on leads and is highly motivated and excited to be embracing the opportunities to be his own boss and have a dynamic and potentially highly profitable small business. Already he has been in contact with local agricultural societies and living in an area surrounded by agricultural land and acreage properties has already provided a solid sales focus.

“I’d been thinking about setting up my own business for a while but previously had never found the calling – so I’m very excited with this venture which provides the perfect outlet for my skills and experience. The ease of putting the sheds together was also a strong point –as well as the actual transporting logistics – means that it is great for the customers and great for me to be selling the product.”

If you know someone looking for a Transportable Shade Shed around the Bunbury area please contact Daniel on 0456 354 584.

If you would like to find out more about opportunities in your area or are keen to be your own boss, or look at business options that may work well with your current industry then contact the team at Transportable Shade Sheds on 1300 667 433 or Saver6.com on 1300 918 771.

Changes at U BUTE Driver Training

Whole families in the Beerwah district would recognise with fondness this driver training vehicle, a green Holden utility, as part and parcel of their learning to drive experience.

U BUTE Driver Training was started by Beerwah local Julie Gould, who wanted to offer young learner drivers “something different” to learn to drive in.

In 2011, the idea became a reality and many people have learned to drive manual in the U BUTE Driver Training vehicle, a limited edition manual VE Holden Utility with the bonus of learning all about dual fuels, LPG and unleaded petrol, night driving and trailer reversing.

Julie successfully taught many youth around Beerwah and, when it was time for their younger siblings to learn to drive, they learnt with Julie as well.

However, after having a fall in early 2016, injuring her knee ligaments, Julie has decided to pursue her other passion of painting portraits and teaching art at www.vegemart.com.au Mooloolah locals Brian and Julia Corradetti answered the advertisement and were chosen to continue with the business, after it was established how suitable Brian was, with huge amounts of road usage and experience in driving school buses, motorcycles and cars and being a people person.

Now with new owners the unique learn to drive experience will be available to more new learner drivers to the north, south and west of Beerwah.

Julie Gould couldn’t be happier that the business she established is in great hands and she is now able to focus on her blossoming career in art and give attention to her family.

Brian and Julia would like thank Julie for her service to the community and wish her well in her new life.

Glasshouse Country Chamber of Commerce update with Ursula Starkovsky

Happy New Year to all our members and of course non-members alike.

2017 shapes up to be a great year, not just for people, but I feel also for business. We seem to have left most of the doom and gloom behind and the economy looks pretty steady.

Last year, the Chamber invited both Stockland and Council’s planners to give us more information about Halls Creek and Beerwah East. Both presentations were very informative. Looking now at the Draft South East Queensland Plan, Halls Creek has been excluded from the Urban Footprint.

For Glasshouse Country I believe the inclusion of Beerwah East is a great outcome. People might be against any further development in our area but they need to acknowledge that it is not old people that keep the economy going; it is young people who make most contributions. We need families and lots of children to call the Glasshouse Country home. If we miss out on that, our schools will suffer, every business will suffer and eventually we will become an “old folk’s home” starting in Beerburrum and ending in Glenview. In my mind, Beerwah will greatly benefit from any development within the Beerwah East area.

Another topic that is very close to the Chamber is Tourism. I believe that we should do all we can to put Glasshouse Country on the Tourism Map. Currently we have an almost blank canvas. The Chamber will be working with other organisations and I will update on progress.

Our next meeting will be February 21 at the Beerwah Hotel. Look out for the invitation.

Beerwah Eagle Boys relaunches as Pizza Hut

The Beerwah Eagle Boys store has joined the growing Pizza Hut franchise business, relaunching as Pizza Hut on Thursday, and employing 15 people across full-time and casual roles.

Pizza Hut recently bought the majority of Eagle Boys stores across Australia in a move that created the second biggest pizza franchise in Australia.

Franchisee Graham Fraser said his business had been operating as Eagle Boys for nearly 17 years, and he was excited about the opportunities of working with a dynamic and growing brand like Pizza Hut, particularly under new Australian ownership.

“I am excited to continue our support of local sporting clubs, schools and not for profit organisations and look forward to growing the business and employing more locals in the future,” Graham said.

Pizza Hut Beerwah will be open for business on Thursday, January 19 at 70 Simpson Street, Beerwah. Opening hours are 4.00pm till 9.00pm every day.

It’s so easy to grow your business with GC&M News!

I have been advertising in the Glasshouse Country & Maleny News for nearly five years now. What I love about the paper is the ease of advertising; changes can be made without a hassle.

Businesses have such little time, but it's never a problem for the girls to whip up an ad. What attracted me to the paper was the very friendly, approachable staff. It’s a small local business too, which means you are dealing directly with them. They also keep you up to date on any up and coming advertising events etc. that your business may be interested in.

I find it very cost effective as well. I have advertised elsewhere but have never had the same response rate. I feel without the Glasshouse Country & Maleny News my business would have not grown as quickly as it has. I also love to sit down with a coffee (when I get the chance ) and have a read myself.

What’s Hot at Forest Heart Nursery this January Spencer and Karen Shaw Happy New Year one and all. My suggestion for a great start to the new year (and for any time) is planting in your yards and acreages with native plants and fruit trees to make a better world for you, your family, friends and community and of course all of the unique wildlife that we share our land with.

So let’s start with what’s hot at Forest Heart (where to start, I think they’re all great!). We have Soft Tree Fern - Dicksonia antarctica; NSW Waratah’s - Telopea spp., Aniseed Myrtle - Anetholea anisata, Crown of Gold - Barklya syringifolia, Smooth Davidson Plum - Davidsonia johnsonii, Shining Burrawang - Lepidozamia peroffskyana, Lemon Scented Myrtle Backhousia myrtifolia, Mountain Correa - Correa lawrenceana, Bush Mints Prostanthera spp., Creeping Plumbago - Plumbago zeylanica, Sage Leaf Rulingia - Rulingia salviifolia, Native Currants – Antidesma erostre and that’s just a few of the more unusual plants we have at the moment!

Besides these we have a great range of fruit trees, Citrus, Stone Fruits etc., a great range of Grevilleas, Mixed Groundcovers, a great variety of Rainforest Trees and shrubs and lots of other unusual and unique natives.

For knowledge and ideas, we have a great range of native plant and animal books, we stock Hollow Log Homes Nest boxes, we carry the best tree guards, mulch mats and more.

Finally, come and chat with our great staff (us of course!) for planting advice and ID services.

Environment Drone mapping first for USC students Imagery from flying drones will be used in USC’s Environmental Science degree this year as students learn the latest methods of mapping the physical geography of the local area, from underwater seagrass banks to farmland.

Lecturer in Physical Geography and drone pilot Dr Javier Leon, who coordinates USC’s Environmental Science program, is in command of six UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) for semester one from 27 February – and has some exciting ideas for the Biogeography course.

“USC will be the first university in Australia to train students to analyse the environment by combining cutting-edge technology like drones and the Cave,” Dr Leon said, referring to the 3D, immersive CAVE2TM facility on campus at Sippy Downs.

“Students will be exposed to the whole range of research activities, from data collection and sampling in the field with drones, through analysis and modelling, to visualisation of final outcomes.

Dr Leon is a qualified UAV controller and radio operator who has been flying drones to assist his USC research for more than two years, using remotesensing cameras mounted on small drones weighing under two kilograms. The models he’s currently using are DJI Phantom 3s.

His detailed photos and videos have examined a range of features on land and sea, with projects mapping kangaroo and koala locations, vegetation species, coral reef islands, beach erosion and nearshore bathymetry (ocean floor depth).

“I already have two research students starting collaborative community projects that use drones to monitor soil erosion control measures on Glasshouse Mountains pineapple farms, and to monitor seagrass banks around the Noosa River.”

Dr Leon said drones were transforming scientific studies by enabling cheaper, quicker ways of recording multiple high-resolution images, compared to previous reliance on satellite and aeroplane sensing and/or manual fieldwork.

Landholder Environment Grants

Your Local Native Plant Nursery

Private rural landholders are invited to apply for a Landholder Environment Grant to assist with environmental works on their properties.

Apply for projects such as: • fencing to restrict stock access to significant areas of native vegetation, wetlands or waterways • installing off-stream stock watering points and stock crossings • revegetation of degraded areas, and to establish native vegetation corridors and buffers • reducing sediment loss on farms • controlling environmental weeds to rehabilitate native vegetation • modify fencing to make it more wildlife friendly.

Priority will be given to projects with high ecological value and that have good landowner co-contribution.

Expressions of interest close midnight Monday 20 February 2017.

Note: An EOI must be submitted if you wish to apply for a grant.

Thanks to Seeing Eye Dogs Australia, you can give the gift of confidence and independence to someone who is blind or has low vision this year by contributing to the development of a Seeing Eye Dog. Though SEDA is the only national provider of Seeing Eye Dogs in Australia, the puppy caring program has previously been focused in Victoria. Now, thanks to a new team of puppy development trainers based in Queensland – including Jane Kefford, Brendan Ainsworth and Rob Cramer – the puppy caring program is being offered across South-East Queensland, from Burleigh Heads to Noosa.

The journey from playful puppy to working Seeing Eye Dog takes about two years, and the first step in this journey is being placed with a volunteer puppy carer for ten to twelve months.

Jane Kefford, SEDA Senior Instructor and Operations Coordinator for the Queensland region, said SEDA currently has pups that are ready to go to homes throughout January and February.

Ms Kefford says there are a number of things to consider about becoming a puppy carer, with the most important attribute being an understanding that the program is about the greater good – and of course having a love for dogs.

"Other factors to consider include puppies can't be left alone for more than three hours at a time," Ms Kefford said. "Talk to your employer about the puppy coming to work with you.

"If you've got kids and you walk them to school, take pup with you. If you're going out for coffee, take pup with you. It's about socialising the puppy so they get used to family life and being in a home."

You can already have one pet dog and all costs incurred throughout the Puppy Caring program are covered by Seeing Eye Dogs Australia, including food and pet bills.

Seeing Eye Dogs Australia is one of the many services provided by Vision Australia. If you are interested in becoming a puppy carer, visit seda. visionaustralia.org or call 1800 03 77 73.

Looking for an activity to help you stay young in body and mind? More and more people of all ages are turning to the ancient Chinese art of tai chi. And various support groups helping people with diabetes, back pain, arthritis, obesity and stress-management, are encouraging people to try tai chi.

“Taoist Tai Chi is specifically designed for health and has great benefits for balance, coordination, flexibility, strength and circulation,” said Corinne Williams, a Sunshine Coast instructor with the Taoist Tai Chi Society of Australia.

“People think Tai Chi looks so slow and gentle, and it is, but once they try it they discover it is also a demanding exercise for the whole body and mind which can have far-reaching health effects,” Corinne added.

Corinne noted that recent medical research shows tai chi can boost immune function, help control the symptoms of conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease and fibromyalgia, reduce the risk of falls, improve cardiovascular function, and improve mood and cognitive function.

“The personal experiences of our members back up what the research is saying, and more,” Corinne said.

Introduced to the western world 40 years ago by Chinese Taoist monk Master Moy Lin-shin, Taoist Tai Chi is designed specifically for holistic health.

Based on the ancient teachings of Taoism, Taoist Tai Chi is also known as a moving meditation and many practitioners experience a deep calm while doing the set. The Taoist Tai Chi Society of Australia is non-profit, volunteer and charitable organization. The instructors are all volunteers and motivated by their desire to share the benefits they have themselves received.

For more information about joining a new beginner courses in Beerwah, Caloundra, Woombye, Coolum, Maroochydore, or Buderim, visit www.taoist.org.au, call 0432 761 043 and leave a message, or email sunshinecoast@taoist.org.

Dine In

Take Out

with Lea Parkes

The Lookout Cafe

Last week, on my first day back in the office, I couldn’t have been more pleased to be able to sneak out for lunch and be able to call it work!

The heat was just horrendous when we headed up to the Lookout Café at Glass House and, before we had even got our ordering worked out, we had one of the lovely waitresses telling us how much she had missed the paper over the last three weeks – always nice to know that people notice when you aren’t around.

As you would expect in holiday time the place was really busy and, judging by the pace the staff were working, they have been totally kept on their toes from many tourists who have called in to their café with the spectacular view.

As a total coffee lover I am usually quick to place my order, however on this day all I could think about was something long and cool and tropical, mmm sadly as they don’t serve cocktails, I went for a mango smoothie and Brownie chose the sweet and creamy iced coffee.

What I always like when we go to the Lookout is how they are always really accommodating with my orders. They explained that their smoothies were made on juice and real fruit, and still being January and being on a campaign to reduce my sugar intake, I asked them to make it with skim milk and no juice and – as I expected – it was no trouble for them.

I really appreciate when you go somewhere to eat and they are so flexible and helpful. As we sat inside I was listening to the other customers placing orders and I could hear the girls

answering lots of questions: Is this gluten free?

Can I have ice cream instead of cream on the side? (And the list goes on.) It was hot and humid and the staff were all lovely, patient and calm with all the requests.

Another thing that I love about the Lookout Café is that while they have a fairly compact kitchen they are able to offer a really expansive menu.

Brownie went with the fish, chips and salad, I went for something a bit smaller – smashed avocado with crushed feta and grilled cherry tomatoes (hold the bacon) – and we were both really satisfied with what we were served.

Sadly by the time I had got through the lush smoothie and the meal there was no space for dessert. But the smoothie was a really sweet treat in itself and, after the tourists have all headed home, I am looking forward to heading back to the Lookout – and I know the owner, Chris, is keen to welcome back her band of regular local customers once again.

As we begin another year, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a healthy, creative and prosperous New Year. It’s going to be a pivotal year for the region and I am very much looking forward to working with you all in 2017.

Playground Renewal - QCWA Park - Old Landsborough Rd, Landsborough

I am pleased to announce that the renewal of the playground equipment is now complete at QCWA Park. The new playground looks very much in character with the location and the new equipment will keep the youngsters entertained both physically and mentally. I would like to thank the users of the park for their patience during the replacement process and I hope the refreshed playground brings a lot of joy to the community.

Carnarvon Drive, Beerwah road reseal program I would like to advise all residents living in the vicinity of Carnarvon Drive, that council’s road reseal program have scheduled Carnarvon Drive for asphalt work starting on Tuesday, January 17 (weather permitting), this will in effect also facilitate the opening of the new link road to the Coochin Twins estate.

Cycling Workshops

Does your child need a confidence boost on two wheels? Help put them on the right track with one of council’s free cycling workshops during the school holidays. The workshops are an enjoyable way for kids to gain valuable experience and extra confidence in bike handling skills, road safety awareness and pathway etiquette in a safe and fun group setting and get them on their bikes more often. For more dates and online registration, go to council’s website www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov. au and search “cycling workshops” to find the children’s intermediate cycling course.

Change to bin lid colours

Please keep in mind that council is progressively changing over waste wheelie bin green lids with red lids to comply with the Australian Standard. This is a long term project with exchanges only being undertaken as maintenance issues occur with the existing lids: red – general waste, yellow – recycling, lime green – garden waste. Cross contamination between bins is a real issue and this slow replacement process eventually means our general waste bins will be consistent with other parts of the country, making them easier to identify and use more appropriately.

50th Anniversary Fund

The 50th Anniversary of the naming of our wonderful Sunshine Coast will be officially commemorated on August 1, 2017. The 50th Anniversary Fund is a new, one-off community grants program for new and existing non-council events, projects or programs. It’s a great opportunity to develop an idea and get a group together to celebrate our 50th anniversary year. Applications for the second round of grants will open Monday, March 6 and close Friday, May 19.

Mark McArdle State Member for Caloundra Auxiliary to provide extras for region’s Palliative Care Unit Anyone who has experienced the helplessness of watching a loved one struggle with a life altering condition would appreciate the importance of a palliative care team. Because of the need for the specialised care provided by these types of facilities, the Caloundra Hospital’s Auxiliary has set a fundraising target to assist the Palliative Care Unit at the Caloundra Hospital by 2018.

Palliative care involves more than pain management, it identifies and treats patient symptoms that can be caused from emotional, spiritual and social suffering. As a family-centred model of care, the family and carers also receive much needed practical and emotional support to cope throughout all stages.

Depending on the patient and their needs, palliative care can be delivered in a home, hospital, hospice or a residential age care facility. In our region we are extremely fortunate to have an arm of the Caloundra Hospital dedicated to the provision of specialist palliative care. Thanks to fundraising by the Caloundra Hospital Auxiliary, the Unit grew from a two bed facility to the ten beds we have today.

Caloundra Hospital Auxiliary President Claudine Hagan said their previous achievements had made a significant difference to the overall shortfall of palliative care beds on the Sunshine Coast.

The money will not be used to purchase palliative care beds, nor in the construction of additional space, but to augment the capital and fit-out costs that are to be met by the government. The Auxiliary believe the funding is best used to provide those extras that will make the unit more attractive.

Making it a warm and inviting place where family and friends can comfortably spend time is also a key ingredient to improving the mental health of all involved in the patient’s journey.

Most importantly, we need to praise the tenacious, hardworking group of volunteers for their determination. More than 250 volunteers form the Auxiliary and together run Bardo’s Bazaar and the Mary Rose Café at the Hospital.

As a community we can help terminally ill patients see out the final chapter of their lives in a bright and friendly environment.

Bardo’s Bazaar is located on West Terrace, opposite the Caloundra RSL, and is open Monday-Friday, 9am-4pm. Phone 5436 8823. The Mary Rose Café is located at the Hospital entrance and is open Monday to Friday from 7.30am-3pm.

Kids &

Mooloolah Valley Playgroup

Kids just want to have fun!

When we see children playing we can see that they are having fun and enjoying themselves, but research shows us that play is an important part of a child’s learning and development. It engages all of the child’s senses and provides opportunities for social, emotional, physical and cognitive learning. It allows children to process information which they apply to solve problems and understand their environment and the world they live in.

Emergent Curriculum There is much talk these days about what is best for children in respect to their development and learning, with many theories and opinions on how children learn and therefore what we should be teaching.

The philosophy of Emergent Curriculum is in line

Start the year with your little ones at the Mooloolah Valley Playgroup for some fun, friendships, creativity and playful learning. Playgroup is held each Wednesday from 9.30am to 11am (except school holidays) at the After School Care Building next to the pool on King Road, Mooloolah. Bring along a healthy kids' snack to share and $2.00 donation per child. Playgroup memberships are free with great thanks to the support from Mooloolah State School.

Dads are particularly encouraged to come. with Peace of Mind’s Family Day Care approach to children’s play. Educators are involved in a process of planning that begins with observing the interests of children and engaging parents in discussions about topics, events and development targets which are occurring at home.

This provides our Educators with ideas about what children are keen to find out about their world and the people in it and supports our parents and family (home) life. Educators build complementary activities into their play program and routines extending on the information gathered, building the children’s skills and knowledge through focused play and engaging their questioning minds and intrinsically curious natures. This approach to child centric programming is a great foundation, and effective method, for facilitating learning through play.

This article is brought to you by Peace of Mind Family Day Care Scheme (POM FDC). Family day care is a quality, home based early childhood education and care service for children aged from six weeks through to 12 years supported by the Dept of Ed & Training, operating under a National Quality Framework incorporating national regulations, quality and qualification standards, educational frameworks and an assessment and ratings process. You can contact POM FDC, Sunshine Coast on 07 3888 5558.

Study masterclass

Students from Beerwah High School will join more than 70 switched-on Year 12 students from across the region to take part in Study Skills Masterclasses at USC this week to learn how to study smarter rather than harder.

The classes, from 8.30am-2.30pm each day, will boost the students’ knowledge about assessment expectations and provide tips on how to study more effectively and minimise stress during their final year of high school.

Each day will focus on a separate subject area, starting with Maths B and Maths C on Monday, and continuing with Biology, Physics, Chemistry and English throughout the week. USC Project Manager Julie Hobbins said the masterclasses would give participants the best opportunity to succeed academically in Year 12.

“We know that many students find Year 12 very stressful academically, so an important part of the session is to pass on skills about stress management and making the best use of their study time," she said.

You Said It Respect for others

I would like to warn people trying to get to Aldi to be very careful, the sign says to be careful of people crossing. Recently my wife, who has been diagnosed with a benign brain tumour, and I started walking behind a car that was waiting for traffic. We were shocked that the driver of the four wheel drive never even slowed down a bit.

Her comment was that it was a driveway not a walk way.

Where has the decency and respect for others gone?

Nev Linnane Beerwah

How dare she

Intolerance, ignorance, bigotry, and hate are what Pauline Hanson’s One Australia party breeds.

This has never been more evident with the candidate for the electorate of Glass House, Tracey Bell-Henselin.

Her recent Facebook rant says it all, yet the Ginger Whinger, Pauline Hanson, says she has done nothing wrong.

In Australia now, people are being set upon by their own government with poorly designed software that demonises the poor and disadvantaged.

Australia has no need for the likes of BellHenselin who, with her message of fear and hate, does not benefit anyone, and destroys the community.

Her message directed against the LGBTI community is bereft of reason and knowledge; it is hateful and a poor example to the young people of our community, particularly those grappling with their own sexuality.

How dare she presume to make the statements she did, how dare she assume that the LGBTI community would destroy families.

She rightly deserves to be castigated severely for these ignorant comments, and ignored at the next Queensland State elections.

Ken Dyer Landsborough

Were you racked?

A question, have you been ‘Racked’? If you have, you will know what I am talking about, if not, allow me to bring you up to speed and inform you of the experience my wife and I had at Bombay Bliss, Beerwah just prior to Christmas.

We were having our usual Monday night Special, which we really enjoy. A gentleman and his son were seated across from us, and they in fact finished their meal shortly after our arrival and on leaving wished us a Merry Christmas. Nothing untoward about that, being in the Christmas Spirit.

However, on the completion of our meal, I walked up to the counter with money in hand to pay our bill. Shania, our waitress informed me that there was no money to be paid, our bill had been taken care of and that we had in fact, been ‘Racked’.

Church on the Rise, Beerwah had paid for our meal as a Random Act of Christmas Kindness.

The gentleman and his son had done more than just wish us a Merry Christmas on their way out.

It really made our night and we appreciated the gesture. Their church operates in Beerwah and Maleny and all are welcome at their services.

We take it as a privilege to have been ‘Racked’ by the Church on the Rise and shown Christian good will in the local community.

God bless you and all the best in the future.

Jokes shared across the ditch

This is a photo of my 97-year-old mother, Myra Olsen. She lives in New Zealand. She has been very active all of her life, and puts her longevity down to having Manuka honey every day on her cereal.

She still has her driving licence, although she doesn't drive at night anymore, and only does short trips locally.

I have been sending her the jokes out of the Glasshouse Country News, ever since they first were printed. She takes them along to the Seniors Club she belongs to and they get read out at the meetings.

Last year she stood down from the role of vice president, and also from organising the entertainment for each meeting. In January this year she finally moved into a unit in a retirement village, where she still leads a very active lifestyle. She also knits beanies for the premature babies in the hospital (so far over 1200) and catches the train to deliver them.

Gayle Amos Beerwah

Great job

I would like to send a big thank you to the organisers of the Glasshouse Country Community Carols for doing a letterbox drop to remind those attending that there would be noise from the fireworks and to keep our pets safe. If everyone having fireworks in the area would do this it would save a lot of anxiety as it did on this occasion.

Level crossing concerns

Re:"Landsborough show of strength" December 20, 2016 edition. The TMR should hang their in shame for the way they are treating this area regarding a consultation process of the proposed rail improvements to the only rail going north.

When are we to see some really professional proposals for these long awaited road/rail improvements?

If you would like to see how ‘Vicrail’ present their proposed railway improvements, go to http:// levelcrossings.vic.gov.au/crossings/caulfield-todandenong on your screens.

This life-like video at this website shows the range of possibilities that can be presented to a community to have an overhead rail.

This Victorian project is going to remove nine level crossings, and involve the rebuilding of five stations. It will help to alleviate many congested roads with level crossings. Currently in Murrumbeena, Victoria, you can wait for up to 87 minutes during the morning rush period, before crossing the rail line What's more, its finishing date will be in 2018!

So where is the Queensland comparison to public input?

Our Sunshine Coast HAS to be able to cater for the million or so projected population in the near future, without rebuilding the entire infrastructure again and again. This type of infrastructure offers so many possibilities for Landsborough, apart from all the nearby towns. Never let there be

another Beerwah!

Re: NBN Towers

Ron Watson Glass House Mountains

Richard Giles (GC&M News, Dec 20) suggests NBN towers would lead to a drop in value of nearby properties, and uses a grab-bag of cherry-picked reports to support his contention.

Amusingly, his only antipodean evidence comes from a NZ study —once again unpublished— ‘The Impact Of Cellular Phone Base Station Towers On Property Values’, that states "it appears health effects from cellular phone equipment (antennas and base stations) pose few (if any) known health hazards", which rather undermines Giles's main argument.

The same study reveals that while some home buyers would pay less for a home located close to a tower, 80% of buyers would not care (for example, I know that I would pay more to be near a tower, because of the better access speeds I'd enjoy). Moreover, the study states that "For the 20% who said the proximity of the tower was of concern to them, the most common reasons given for this were: health reasons, as proclaimed by the media, and that it obstructed their views somewhat".

So there you have it: aesthetics (views), and health rumours in the media, promulgated by people like Mr Giles.

The study continues: "Of the 19% that said the tower was not constructed when they bought the house or began renting, all said they would have gone ahead with the purchase anyway if they had known that the tower was to be constructed". Oh dear, looks like an own goal for Giles!

In addition, the same study mentions two other studies, commissioned by NZ Telecom, that showed property prices were "not statistically significantly affected by the presence of towers".

I contend that most people would enjoy house price gains by being able to boast high speed internet access, which is rapidly becoming vital for work-from-home professionals and businesses, to say nothing of seamless access to rich media for entertainment and education.

On another issue, Giles is again confused when he says I am relying on "NBN PR reports" to make comments on NBN reliability. Actually I was relying on the independent Ombudsman's report, as I clearly stated in my previous letter.

As for the Maleny real estate agent who stated that property values "could drop by 20%" if an NBN tower were built, may I ask who this agent is? My local agent told me the opposite, namely that NBN access would make Maleny properties more saleable and desirable. I suppose if you had a tower right in your backyard, it could affect the home's price, but the tower planned for Burgess Avenue, Maleny, for instance, is not near any house, and I am not aware of any NBN towers planned for anyone's backyard.

Lastly, Giles seems to think that if we all stamp our feet and refuse to accept a tower, we'll get fibre cable instead. I'm sorry to disappoint, but I can confirm, having spoken to the NBN representative who came here a year or so back to scout for tower sites, that the chance of us getting cable are extremely, even vanishingly, remote. It's towers, or stay on slow copper wires.

Did you receive a visit from the Beerwah Bandits?

Happy New Year everyone!

Recently, while away on our first extended family vacation in five years, the electronic containment system which normally keeps our dogs safely

home decided to fail.

This resulted in our two Labradors escaping. If you received a pair of unexpected visitors while we were away, we sincerely apologise – they were missing us and decided to wander on a few occasions, which does not normally happen.

We are home again now, and in the process of repairing the containment system and taking steps to ensure the bandits...I mean dogs, cannot get out again.

Special thanks and appreciation to: • The kind souls who handed the dogs in to Beerwah vet surgery.

• Beerwah vet surgery who called us to say the dogs were there. If you don't already have a regular vet this surgery is modern, caring and a great choice!

• Warren Smith – thanks for collecting and returning the dogs!

• Lisé from Lisé's Pet Minding Services who went above and beyond in looking after (and helping us with) our escapees. We highly recommend Lisé –we've used her several times and she is reliable, friendly and loves your pets!

• Mel – our neighbour who also helped return and keep the dogs on our property.

Thanks very much everyone! And apologies for any inconvenience caused.

More NBN issues

After my 2016 letters, here are further perspectives on the NBN's roll-out that need addressing and do not get dealt with by the media or governments, both federal and state.

In 2014 NBN put out a report of their perceived plan for wireless and satellite rollout. This was incidentally, less than three months before they

Beautiful photo

It’s Christmas Eve morning, but I’m taking time away from all the chores that beckon to say a very sincere ‘thank you’ for the beautiful front cover you presented on the last edition of GC&M News for 2016.

You could have gone for the usual ‘tinsel and baubles’, but you came up with something so beautiful, serene, peaceful and unspoiled, which must touch the hearts of all who gaze on beautiful Chevy.

For a moment we’re able to forget the manmade and natural disasters and the numerous acts of ‘man’s inhumanity to man’ that bombard us each day through the media.

The photo of Chevy evokes a strong feeling of

‘love, peace and joy’ within all of us (which is the Christmas message).

Thank you so much for a great magazine and congratulations to Shane and Sarah on the safe arrival of the beautiful little angel.

May they enjoy a happy memorable life together.

Eunice Prickett Peachester

wrote first letters to Maleny residents looking for tower sites at specific locations in the district, and just four months before the first public ‘consultation' meeting in Maleny in September.

The report is titled 'Fixed Wireless and Satellite Review', May 2014 and is 135 pages long!. A few things emerge which are never dealt with properly in public meetings or seldom acknowledged in 'community consultations'.

In the introduction sections they state regarding service and performance – "While Forecasts are based on NBN Co's best considered professional assessment, NBN Co, its officers and employees do not give any guarantee or assurance to any third party that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the Forecasts will actually occur. As such, the Forecasts should not be relied on or considered to be a representation of what will happen by any third party."

And when writing about coverage from NBN towers – "By using outdoor wireless network termination units (WNTDs) at the premises with near line-of-sight to the fixed wireless tower, NBN Co can deliver the required performance level, and satisfactory cell coverage to address 20 percent of the area within 14km radius." (Page 61).

To summarise – they cannot promise anything (performance or achievements) stated in the report, and secondly, cannot guarantee a wireless signal service to 80% of premises within 14kms of the tower site. This is despite the clear

promises of 25/5 Mbps fast broadband at all public meetings. They do state on page 61 that some 50% of premises served will generally fall within 3 km of towers, but this is a generalisation depending on the district. We could wind up with 50% of people in tower areas not even getting the promised NBN services.

Richard Giles, Conondale

State of the art police station

No doubt the new police station in Maleny will be superior to the old one and be advantageous to the police stationed there. I'm sure they will be pleased to move in. (Malcolm Turnbull, 20-1216, says we have the best police in the world).

However the outside architecture doesn't seem to be attractive or compatible with its Maleny setting. I overheard a local stating he was going to be careful not to be arrested as he didn't want to be locked up in a building resembling a public toilet.

What affects your credit score?

There’s a road that more and more Australians are choosing to go down: Home ownership. From building a property investment nestegg for retirement, to providing a long-term home for your family, there is a wide array of benefits to securing a house in this day and age.

Once you’ve made the big decision to track down your dream property, the next step is to approach your mortgage broker about taking out a home loan – but what are some of the things that could boost your chances of a successful application?

The big one is your credit history. A lender will take a look at what you’ve

You needn’t worry, though. Here are some things that can put you in a good light.

Paying utility bills.

Bills are a part of everyday life. We can’t escape them! From electricity to internet, mobile phone to gas, your household bills are probably coloured by these everyday services.

But did you know that paying your providers on time and in full can make you look like a more reliable home loan applicant? If you miss a payment, a

telco or other utility company can put a little mark on your report noting that the payment is overdue – but they also need to update the entry to ‘paid’ once you’ve caught up.

your existing ones. If you’re a dab hand at paying the minimum amount on your cards every month, this will give your credit worthiness a leg up – and you’ll have no problems getting that home loan!

BreastScreen back at Beerwah BreastScreen Queensland’s mobile service is back in Beerwah this month.

Women aged 40 years and over are encouraged to take a positive step towards monitoring their breast health and utilise this free service.

The mobile service will be available to the public from January 17 to 27.

Health Promotion Officer Deb Zammit said the service has appointments available now, including some late afternoon appointments.

“We would like to invite women to take advantage of this free, local health service while it is in the area,” Ms Zammit said.

“One in eight Queensland women will develop breast cancer at some stage in their life. As there is currently no means of preventing breast cancer, the focus in reducing deaths from this disease has been on finding breast cancer as early as possible.”

“The holiday season can be a busy time for women and they may not have had time to attend to reminders for their bi-annual breast screen,” Ms Zammit said.

“It’s not just women who receive a letter from BreastScreen Queensland who can participate in this free screening program – women aged 40 years and older who haven’t received a letter but who would like to make an appointment with our service can just call 13 20 50. There are no referrals required.”

BreastScreen Queensland also now offers online appointments. The online service allows women to pre-book an appointment, making it easier for women to fit the appointment into their schedule.

The BreastScreen Queensland Mobile Service is located at the Beerwah Community Centre, Peachester Road, Beerwah.

New Year – new you? with Billie from BL Natural Health With the New Year here and people making decisions about weight loss or management in 2017, GC&M News approached Billie from B L Natural Health and asked her what advice she has for her clients.

Billie believes that while weight loss for many is more about the looks, her concern is about the contribution to disease.

“Obesity has been linked to many health risks such as heart disease, diabetes, gallbladder problems, osteoarthritis and cancer, just to name a few,” Billie said.

“Unfortunately, it is not just about what you eat and how much you move. Other factors such as stress, hormones, inflammation and sleep also influence your body’s ability to deal with calories.”

Here are five strategies, that Billie recommends for helping you to manage your weight: 1. Start your day with a protein meal Protein will help you regulate the appetite, increase satiety and encourage weight loss. My kids and I love pancakes for breakfast – check out my favourite two recipes packed with protein on my website: www.blnaturalhealth.com.au

2. Add fibre to your diet Fibre will help you with weight loss (especially abdominal fat) as well as help to prolong your feeling of fullness and to reduce your appetite.

Fruit, vegetables, legumes, chia seeds, psyllium, nuts and seeds are a good source of fibre. Now that the weather is warming up, think about having a salad as a healthy lunch/dinner option where you can include lots of fibre food.

3. Enjoy your food Hormones released when you express enjoyment help you with weight management and metabolism as well as fat mobilisation. Increase this effect by sharing a meal - the oxytocin released will assist in inducing weight loss and metabolic improvement.

Also your relaxed state when enjoying your food will ensure that you have the correct stomach acid amount to absorb important nutrients. When you are happy, you are also more likely to crave less unhealthy carbs.

4. Deal with your stress Cortisol, released during stress, does not only increase your appetite, sugar craving and weight gain, but the weight gained will most likely be around your belly, as a specific enzyme needed by cortisol is located in adipose (fat) tissues mostly found around your abdomen.

This is not only bad news when you are trying to fit into your jeans, but also for your health, as abdominal fat is linked to the development of cardiovascular disease as well as other disorders.

5. Move I cannot get around recommending to exercise. We all know how important movement is, not just for our weight, but stress levels and health as well.

Take your dog for walks or ask a friend to join you for an exercising activity – this can be more fun and allows you to catch up with your friends as well.

Health Check Explaining Acupuncture

with Acupuncture @ Beerwah The goal of Acupuncture is to establish a healthier state of body, mind and emotional function and to increase the capacity to cope with stress.

Acupuncture is an excellent therapy to prevent illness and to improve general health and well-being. Ideally a few visits a year to your Acupuncturist can help reduce stress and maintain optimal health; it shouldn’t be necessary to commit to a long and intensive period of treatment. I prefer to see you less often than more often and know that we have a good balance for your lifestyle.

Acupuncture can be of great benefit for your physical, mental and emotional health. You do not have to wait until there is something wrong with your health, in fact it is better to address your health before there is a problem.

Some ailments treated are, pain in your back, neck, head, shoulders, blood pressure issues, arthritis, sciatica, glaucoma, sporting injuries, menstrual problems, fertility issues, depression and anxiety, smoking cessation, and post-surgery recovery.

Feel free to ring and ask questions. If I can’t answer the phone, please leave a message clearly pronouncing your name and, importantly, your phone number and I will ring you back as soon as I can.

Chronic pain: Why me?

with McCloy Dental 1. The Big Picture in Pain - In the past month, around half us will have experienced an episode of pain which has lasted at least one day, with the most common sites being the low back (30%), hip (25%), neck and shoulder (25%) and knee (24%).

Prevalence of chronic pain increases through adult life, reaching a peak around the seventh decade. Chronic pain may be related to premature mortality, cancer and cardiovascular death which may partly be related to lifestyle factors such as low levels of physical activity and poor quality diet.

2. In the Beginning - Early life factors have been linked to chronic pain in adulthood. There is an increased risk of chronic pain in adulthood related to social environment in childhood as well as physically traumatic events such as premature birth, very low birth weight, and hospitalisation for a motor vehicle accident at young ages.

3. Early life factors and adult chronic pain - Physical stresses result in altered function of the stress axis, which are still present at 18 months. Risk is likely to involve both genetic and environmental effects although it is likely that many genes, all with small effects, will be involved.

Out & About 70 years a reason to celebrate Last year GC&M News brought you the story about the Glasshouse Country RSL Sub-Branch reaching their 70th anniversary in 2016.

To make the celebration official, members, along with their families and regular supporters of the club, attended a special dinner in December to mark the occasion.

The event was sponsored by Kel and Lorraine McNamara from KLM Energy. The sub-branch has a very special spot in their hearts as Lorraine’s dad George Morgan was part of the management committee for more than 30 years.

Someone else who was also a recognised for special attention on the night was Glass House local Raymond Burnett, a sub-branch member who recently turned 100 years of age.

On the night, the Federal member for Fisher, Andrew Wallace (also the Sub-Branch’s Patron), presented Ray with a special certificate from the RSL. Ray was also given the honour of blowing out the candles on the RSL cake – they made the job a little easier for him by not putting the whole 100 candles on the cake.

Sub-Branch president Kevin Beasley said it was a great night, and they were pleased to be able to include a special acknowledgement on the night for all the volunteers who contribute to Friday night dinner and bar service at the Club each week throughout the year.

The sub-branch really appreciate the efforts of the volunteers and are always keen to hear from other locals that may be able to contribute to the tasks include food preparation, service and clean up.

Full-house with sub-branch members and supporters Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace with Ray and son Bill at the special presentation from the RSL marking Ray's 100th birthday The work is done on Friday afternoon from about 4.30pm for an approximately four hour shift.

Volunteer co-ordinator Cherryl said, "We don’t expect volunteers to come along every Friday night.

Most generally do once a month or fortnightly. If anyone would like to know more about it they can give me a call on 0429 667 961."

The sub-branch would also be keen to find someone who can serve behind their bar on a Friday night. If you think this might be something you can do, ring the club and leave a message for them on 5438 7777.

If you would like to support the club by coming along for dinner, they will be opening their doors for the first time in 2017 this Friday night. Meals are available from 6.00pm and the bar opens at 5.00pm.

Renewal and hope for 2017

Here we are beginning again, the holidays for most of us are over and soon the children will be going back to school to focus again on the future. But looking forward is not always easy, because we are comfortable with what we know and the year ahead yawns wide open with so many possibilities, however; it’s unknown. So here we are in the month named after the Roman god Janus, an appropriate personification of the start of the New Year; for this particular Roman god had two faces so that he could look ahead toward the future and back at the past at the same time. So as we get rid of an old year and look forward to a new one, I think we all try to be a little like Janus; because we know through experience what we did wrong and what we did right, and most of us hope to do better this year. Some people make ambitious New Year’s resolutions; others just take a deep breath and hope GCNEWS Add sept 12 2013.ai 1 10/02/2015 5:26:35 PM for the best.

onto the words from Revelations 21:5 “And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

And claiming Lamentations 3:22-23 as my mantra “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

I pray that you will find a mantra for the year ahead that will bring forth a successful and productive year. A rather special person once said to me; don’t hold onto what’s not good, seek to always find the great thing that is you. Remember you are never too old to dream; and wise words from CS Lewis, “There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”

Welcome back and a happy new year to you all.

The recent rains are very welcome and have come at the right time. As you drive around the region, the gardens are looking superb and are launching back into life again.

Here are some things to do around the garden in January … or what’s left of it.

• Prune your flowering shrubs, such as azalea, gardenia, camellia, ixora, bottlebrush, tibouchina, brunsfelsia and grevillea.

• Tip prune poinsettia to make them bush out and produce more flowers this winter.

• Make a note of frangipani plants that you like the flower’s colour of, so that you can go back in winter to take cuttings.

• Do not feed your garden in very hot weather, as it will place too much stress on the root systems.

• Do not use chemical sprays once temperature reaches 28 degrees, or you will burn your plants. Best time is early evening, once the sun has set.

• Spray hibiscus with Confidor to prevent hibiscus beetle from damaging the flowers.

• Feed gardenias, azaleas and vireyas each month through summer with pelletised manure and water with organic liquid feed such as seaweed or liquid blood and bone.

• Trim runaway shoots on wisteria, only up until late February / March, otherwise you'll prune off flower budwood.

• Roses will be looking for nutrients about now if they are going to have a prolific flowering later in the season. A good fertiliser regime is to apply an organically-based fertiliser every six to eight weeks from August right through to March. To keep roses in good condition in subtropical areas, prune in January and February, not winter.

• Citrus trees need to be fed this month with a Citrus and Fruit Tree Fertiliser at the rate of 125 grams per year of the tree’s age. Citrus has shallow roots, so never dig the fertiliser in - simply sprinkle it on top and water it in.

• Scale are likely to be a problem on citrus trees at this time of year so keep an eye out and, at the first sign, spray with a white or pest oil, applied in the late afternoon or early evening to prevent leaf burn.

• Now is the time when lawns will respond to aeration and for those gardeners who wish to work off some of the excesses of Christmas, going over it with a fork will do the trick.

• Tomatoes are more at risk now to problems with diseases and pests, especially the fruit fly. Fruit fly and tomato grub can be controlled by chemical means, by paper bagging the fruits or by using a fine net over the entire bush.

• Sweet corn is one vegetable that can be planted right through until the end of February. Remember always to plant sweet corn in a block rather than rows for better pollination.

• Parsley plants may just suddenly die. This is normal, as they do fall victim to summer heat and humidity. Replant with fresh seedlings.

• Pawpaw can be planted now into a well drained spot in full sun.

Established Pawpaws need plenty of water now. Fertilise with 20 grams of pelletised manure per square metre. Trees that are too tall can be cut back now. Cut trees 1m from ground and cover cut top with tin can.

• For low chill stone fruit, apply dolomite and gypsum now, at 200 grams dolomite/gypsum per square metre of drip line.

• Protect your mangoes from marauding bats and possums by covering each with a cloth or paper bag, or cover the tree with netting.

• Feed your leafy green vegetables a weekly dose of a soluble nitrogen fertiliser. Use a seaweed tonic as a foliar spray to keep them healthy.

• Control caterpillars with Dipel; avoid planting highly susceptible vegetables at this time of year, such as Chinese cabbage or broccoli.

• Top up organic garden mulches. Keep the layer about 15cm thick.

Maleny Bowls Club

Contributed by Ian Hansen Hopefully everyone had a wonderful Festive Season and is now fully recovered from all the over indulgences and is steadfastly sticking to their New Year Resolutions.

Now on to Bowls - Tuesday, January 10, 12 members contested the first competition of 2017 and the winners were Dennis Kyling and Graeme Glover. The Jackpot wasn’t won.

Wednesday evening’s first Twilight Challenge for 2017 was extremely well patronised with no less than 52 competitors. The winning Teams were: Cookies, Mavericks, Ben Bryce, The Grove, Mobile Kingdom, Musketeers, Watnots and Krackerjacks.

The Lucky Draw winners were: Lead - Matt Fulton, 2nd - Beth Glover, 3rd - Laurie Fawns and Skip - Joe Walters. The Touchers went to Derek Wilson, Pav Jerecke and Dale Jacobsen and the lucky Money Board Winners were Beverly Heading and Allan Cook.

Friday, five rinks of Scroungers were contested and the winners on their respective rinks were Kay Gesch, Joe Walters, Miles Allen, Doug McGufficke and Harold Hopper. The sole Sponsors’ Prize winner present and so able to claim his winnings was Reg Darwell who won the Maleny Dairies Prize. The Money Board winner was Joe Walters – looks as if he is continuing from where he left off last year.

This week there was Jackpot Pairs/Triples Tuesday afternoon, the Twilight Challenge Wednesday evening and Scroungers Friday afternoon. Finally, a reminder about the Monthly Jackpot Pairs on Monday, January 23 at 12.00noon for a 12.30pm start.

Hard work recognised

Contributed by Norm Taylor San Taekwondo held their end of year grading at the Beerwah Training Centre.

The end of year grading took almost four hours to complete with students tested on basic drills and skills as well as ‘poomsae’ or form which is a series of moves representing various attacks and defences. Higher belts also have to do full contact sparring, timber breaking and demonstrate real world self-defence scenarios involving multiple attackers.

In total thirty-eight students from Beerwah, Kenilworth and Maleny clubs were tested for promotion to their new belt level. Although not all students passed, overall the standard was good with Beerwah brothers Harley and Brodie Treverton achieving their club level black belts and Instructor Kasia grading for her internationally recognized third degree black belt.

Kasia has been training for the past 3 years since her last grading to achieve this goal.

The best blue, red and black belt grading was awarded to Kasia Bartnikowska and the best yellow/white grading to John Bleyenberg.

Best student from Maleny - Billy Schiotz Best student form Kenilworth - Vanessa Vietheer Best student from Beerwah under 10’s - Sonia Wearing Best student from Beerwah 10 - 14 years Joushua Collins Best student from Beerwah 15+ - Christine Mortimer Best Fighter - Joey Mortimer Most Improved Student - Ben Young Outstanding student of the year - Aaron Lerch.

Don’t forget to come to the Maleny Sport and Recreation Expo on Australia Day to talk to us and watch a demonstration by our group.

San Training Centre would like to thank all of the community members and businesses who have supported the club throughout 2016 including the Glasshouse Country and Maleny News.

Just for Laughs Old men An elderly man in Queensland had owned a large property for several years. He had a dam in one of the lower paddocks where he had planted mango and avocado trees. The dam had been fixed up for swimming when it was built and he also had some picnic tables placed there in the shade of the fruit trees. One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the dam to look it over, as he hadn't been there for a while. He grabbed a ten litre bucket to bring back some fruit. As he neared the dam, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer he

saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his dam. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.

One of the women shouted to him, “We're not coming out until you leave!” The old man frowned, “I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the dam naked.” Holding the bucket up he said, “I'm here to feed the crocodile.”

Moral: Old men may walk slow, but they can still think fast.

VIRGO August 23 - September 22 This is the year that begins with who can you trust in your business or financial affairs.

It therefore means that you could seek out professional people to help you make decisions. Now that Mercury is moving direct there is a full Moon coming up for you with news that affects you on a deep feeling level.

This can be from a faraway friend.

LIBRA September 23 - October 22 The New Year told you that it is necessary to have more joyful relaxation, and this may not be on actual vacation, but a homemade form of escape. Keep this month going on a health and relaxed note. You may find that this month brings a fierce battle of wills and power struggles. Tie up loose ends from your old paper work.

SCORPIO October 23 - November 22 If you have a strong urge to connect with someone, and to merge together, there is likely someone special this month. Maybe you might feel you have found your soul mate! If in a happy partnership there may be the vibe of a new baby in the family. There is big decision on paper work that demands a leadership position.

SAGITTARIUS November 23 - December 22 The New Year has opened up for you in a dreamy relationship cycle. Now that Mercury has gone direct, decisions must be made not on emotional levels but on ones that are practical about your feelings for each other long term. Avoid clumsy antics this weekend.

Disagreements make you angry, however, try early morning walking!

TAURUS April 21 - May 22 January should have opened up for you under the planets of love, giving you magnetic charm. There are like minded friends and companions around you during next weekend. Make plans for friendly get-togethers and make yourself available to invitations. There is a likelihood that a certain matter has to deal with a bureaucrat.

GEMINI May 23 - June 21 After three weeks of your ruling planet, Mercury, backtracking – it is now well and truly moving direct, so this is the time to tie up loose ends so you can move into a new cycle. There is a potent, but unstable, commotion of Mars and Jupiter in an imbalance this weekend. This means you should be careful with any DIY project!

CANCER June 22 - July 22 You should have started this year with stars in your eyes, and full of dreamy romantic hopes. There may be a few misunderstandings to clean up as Mercury now moves direct, and perhaps causing differences of opinion. From mid-month you find yourself more authentic, honest and forthright, with greater potential for success!

LEO July 23 - August 22 If you have started this year in a committed relationship, there must be by now a strong signal that the two of you need to spend more time alone together. If you are not yet in a relationship, planets strongly favour love and romance. There may even be someone who came back from the past! Withholding money matters causes problems.

Week beginning 18/01/2017 CAPRICORN December 23 - January 19 The year started for you, probably with a virus of some sort, and there is still the need to take good care of yourself. Now that Mercury goes direct, start being productive on research of products that will bring health to your body. Maybe your skin and teeth need to be looked at as well. Be careful with cutting instruments around the 19th.

AQUARIUS January 20 - February 19 There is so much ethereal energy around you affecting your monies, values and possessions. There is creative energy and enthusiasm to use your skills not only to pay the bills, but to make your sense of self-worth a little richer. You will also be interested in travel and being involved with Social Groups.

Time to be released from stress and tension.

PISCES February 20 - March 20 From the beginning of this year, the assertive planet Mars went into the sign of Pisces, giving you energies to determine that which you can expect in personal business and romantic prospects. This month is a time to heal and move on. Release any stress through dance or retail therapy. It is also a time to experiment with new kinds of fashion.

ARIES March 21 - April 20 This year opens up with imagination, a strong romantic spirit, worthwhile setting your personal goals and a spiritual connection.

Professional interests are still unstable and unpredictable. As Mercury has now gone direct, life’s basic routines get easier, and misunderstandings clear up. After the 18th enjoy supportive relationships.

DENTAL EXCEL - caring for the Hinterland community for over 19 yrs Dr David McFall Dr David McFall comes from a family of dentists and medics. Growing up in Ireland, he graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2012.

After completing his training, Dr McFall spent a year in a family friendly city centre practice in Cardiff, Wales before being enticed by the Queensland weather.

Prior to joining the team at Dental Excel, he had a two year stint in a fast paced and busy community clinic in Northern Queensland. It was then a natural progression to move south to the Sunshine Coast where he has been based since September 2015.

Dr McFall’s work in dentistry locally and overseas has led him to have a thirst for further knowledge. He is constantly attending courses and has a particular interest in short term orthodontics – where he can offer orthodontic treatment results in a more time effective manner. He is also proficient in restorative work which he enjoys for the way it can restore a patient‘s confidence and smile.

Many patients comment on his enthusiastic manner and feel comfortable with him as he seeks to removes the dental jargon and connect with patients on a one-to-one basis. Dr McFall enjoys getting to know his patients and providing them with authentic and quality treatment.

With his laid back and approachable manner, he is always happy to explain issues and provide solutions in an accessible and easy to understand way.

Dr McFall has a keen interest in exploring every corner of Australia and has ticked many of our iconic must sees off his list. Among other interests such as diving, golf and surfing, he is making the most of the numerous opportunities to enjoy the enviable outdoor lifestyle here on the Sunshine Coast.
