Hi everyone

If you ventured out on Saturday you would know that Spring is not just in the air but is in full swing.

Even though we don’t live in a climate with dramatically different seasons, the transition between Winter and Spring is a great time of year – perfect weather to be outside and not too hot that it is uncomfortable.

To get everyone in the mood for Spring, the team at GCNews have embraced the season and put together a bumper 16 page Spring feature.

These days we consider our homes as our castles but there is always plenty you can do both indoors and outdoors to make your castle a little more groovy, modern, stylish or just plain old comfortable.

We have plenty of great stories included in the feature about what home means, along with some

inspiring ideas for renovations and plenty of ideas for do-it-yourself projects.

There are plenty of local advertisers who are featured that have great products and services on offer to make your renovations and projects much, much easier.

So here’s to Spring and getting out in the garden or getting some serious spring cleaning underway!

What's happening 18 15 September Wednesday Post separation parenting: Exploding

Backyard clean up Recent publicity of the reckless and illegal dumping in our area’s pristine national parks and forests has prompted local agencies to join forces in a combined clean up effort.

Late last month, the Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM) assisted Forestry Plantation Queensland in cleaning up dumped household rubbish on FPQ land near the Glasshouse Mountains.

Forestry Plantations Queensland Pty Ltd (FPQ) manager of Beerburrum Plantations, Stan Ward, said the residents of the Sunshine Coast had every right to be angry over the damage inflicted to State forests, National parks and pine plantations in the region.

“Each year, tonnes of rubbish are dumped within the forests of the Sunshine Coast region. This rubbish is not only an eyesore but poses a serious risk to those who work or recreate within the forests,” Mr Ward said.

“We are not talking only of the visual pollution, although that is serious in its own right, but we’re also talking about environmentally hazardous waste including toxic chemicals and asbestos.”

“Beside the risk this waste poses to people within the forest, the environment suffers as well”, said Mr Ward.

“Dumped chemicals can contaminate the soil and water, and what may appear to some as the harmless dumping of garden waste can introduce weed species to the forests.”

The dumping of waste in the forest is a serious management problem for FPQ who manage the extensive plantation areas in the Beerburrum area and spend thousands of dollars annually to remove illegally dumped waste.

Staff from FPQ and DERM worked together to clean up local sites recently

Don’t forget your Halloween costume

Some of the rubbish that was removed in the recent clean up exercise Department of Environment and Resource Management Sunshine Coast Burnett Regional Manager, Geoff Brittingham, said the Department provided a tractor and Queensland Parks and Wildlife (QPWS) staff to assist with the removal of the dumped rubbish to a local tip site.

“DERM will continue to work with relevant stakeholders to address the issue of illegal dumping of rubbish at national parks,” Mr Brittingham said.

FPQ, urges the residents of the Sunshine Coast to help keep the forests clear of waste and asks that they be vigilant and report anyone seen dumping rubbish within the forest to the nearest DERM office.

“Dumping of rubbish within region’s plantations and national parks is an offence and those caught will be prosecuted. Forestry Plantations Queensland Pty Ltd advises that they will be engaged in security patrols and take the dumping of waste materials very seriously,” Mr Ward said.

No boring Father’s Day at this Church!

Father’s Day at Church on the Rise is always a fun day for Dads and families. Each year they have a competition for the men and the team who wins always gets a prize. Some years it has been putting shelving together, last year a set of sockets was scattered all over the floor and the first team to put them all in their respective slots won. This year they had to make up a child’s stool and the first team to make and stand on it won the prizes. All three guys from the team won a high quality shifting spanner that was purchased locally at the The Coochin Creek Fruit Growers Cooperative (Pastor Rod Jobe said we not only pray for local business, we also support local business).

A special feature this year was also some classic cars and tractors. Pastor Jobe said guys love their toys and so we wanted Fathers Day to reflect that. There was a free ginger beer and sausage sizzle to finish off the day.

If you happen to know which sport has manoeuvres called ‘humpty bumps’ and ‘avalanches’, then chances are high that you are a pilot or know one! If some of the better known terms such as loops, spins and rolls are mentioned then you’ll be on the money if you said it’s the sport of aerobatics.

RSL Club FRIDAY 17TH

Mark Galletly (left), and in his Pitts Special Glass House Mountains resident, Mark Galletly, 37, has been flying since he was 16 but took up aerobatics after reading a book on the sport when he lived in Sweden with his wife.

“I hadn’t been flying for a few years and I wanted a reason to fly without having to go somewhere,” Mark said.

Mark, a member of the Australian Aerobatics Club, flies a Pitt Special. He has been involved in competitions since 2008 and already has some great achievements under his wings, including winning the 2010 Australian Championships in Intermediate Aerobatics at Parkes NSW, and the 2009 Australian Sportsman Champion with highest overall percentage.

During competitions, pilots perform sequences and their manoeuvres are judged, taking into account the difficulty factor. Some manoeuvres pull 8G’s and negative 4G’s.

“There are only five basic moves but the combinations are almost limitless.

I really like vertical rolls, I love looking out to the side watching the horizon go past. There’s a lot that I like, the more challenging, the better it is,” Mark said.

Currently competing at Intermediate level, Mark is keen to move to the next level and there are lots of manoeuvres he would still like to master.

“Last Saturday I was really trying to do a knife-edge spin, and I couldn’t do it at all. I’ll keep working on it.”

The highest level that can be attained is unlimited, but Mark said he is unlikely to reach this without sponsorship as it is a very expensive sport.

He said a sponsor would enable him to move his plane, which is currently hangared at Brisbane Valley, to a hangar closer to home. This would enable him to train through the week and not just at the weekends which is all he can manage now because of the distance.

Being such an extreme sport, one has to wonder if he has ever been scared.

“No, not really,” Mark said, “Everything I do would be scary for some people.

Obviously safety is of high importance. Maintenance on the aircraft is very high. There is not a great margin for error so it is very important to prepare well. Always be mentally, physically and mechanically prepared for a flight.

“I really enjoy Aerobatics in general but from a competition point of view, it’s striving to achieve better than I have before. Basically you’re aiming for perfection which you never get, but trying to get as close as I can to it. I get a lot of pleasure out of that,” he said.

Cheque helps fund Shelterbox for Pakistani flood appeal Contributed by George McKenzie, President Rotary Club of Glass House Mountains The Rotary Club of the Glass House Mountains Inc. has donated $300 to Shelterbox Australia. These boxes are a means of survival for disaster affected countries. Each box costs George MacKenzie $1200 and consists of a relief tent presents Trevor Taylor with a cheque especially designed to withstand extreme temperatures, winds and rain, thermal blankets and insulated ground sheets, mosquito nets, a water purification unit and water containers for carrying and storage, a basic tool kit, (including a hammer, axe, saw, hoe head, pliers and wire cutters), a wood burning stove, plates, cups, cutlery, and cooking utensils, and a children’s pack, containing small gifts such as colouring books and crayons.

At present, 6000 boxes have been sent to flood ravaged Pakistan where 20 million are homeless. Just one box can be the difference between life and death for a family of 10 people.

This is just one of the many Rotary projects being supported at a local level.

It’s hard to know what’s more remarkable about Tegan McCoy, 21, from Landsborough - the fact that only eight months ago she discovered that she has incredible artistic talent, or the fact that she is creating her art while suffering ongoing pain. “I started in the Army at the beginning 2009 and got compartment syndrome in my legs, which is severe compression of the nerves and blood vessels. It’s very painful, quite dangerous as well. I was operated on by a defence surgeon in July. It went well, but soon all the symptoms came back, worse than before. The second operation was on April 1 this year. I’m in the rehabilitation process again. Sometimes I can only walk 200 metres, sometimes 600 metres and I’m still in pain at the moment. But I’m definitely seeing positive results as we go along,” Tegan said.

• Curtains • Blinds • Security • Shutters • Awnings

A> B> •

Three months after her first operation Tegan was bored so she bought some student paints and painted a lion. When her Mum saw it she said, ‘You need to enrol in an art course’. Tegan then did a basic course with Julie Pickering at the Blue House Art Gallery. Tegan has been invited to display her art at the Unknown Artists Exhibition at the Rumba Resort, Caloundra on Friday October 1, 4.00pm- 8.00pm, Saturday October 2, 9.00am-8.00pm and Sunday October 3, 9.00am- 4.00pm. The Unknown Artist Exhibition is an avenue for new and untested artists to exhibit their work. Around 160 pieces from various ‘unknown artists’ will be on display, with many of the exhibitors from the Hinterland.

“I’m looking forward to getting my work out there and getting a little bit of recognition,” she said.

Tegan, who uses pastels as well as paints, loves using animals as her subjects. “I just absolutely love animals, always have. They are so graceful and powerful. I try to capture that.” She said discovering art has been helpful in getting through her recovery. To have the art while going through all this – has been a good escape. It has been very difficult, the rehabilitation gets on your mind. The artwork’s great because you can just go to another place, do your art, and the world is lovely. It’s a very good way to channel thoughts,” she said. In the future Tegan is hoping to go

On July 22, 110 students and staff from Beerburrum State School held a School Fun Run and raised $3,367.65 in vital funds for their school.

Students pounded the pavements seeking sponsorship from family, friends and members of the local community in order to raise money for Beerburrum State School. Thanks to their enthusiasm and hard work, extra funds are now available to provide new resources at the school.

Beerburrum State School’s highest fundraiser was Andie Little who raised $312.00 for the school and received a high achievement medal from The Fundraising Group for that fantastic effort.

Fun Run organiser Craig Johnson is extremely proud of the way the students rallied behind the fundraiser. Chloe Brearley from School Fun Runs said “The students at Beerburrum State School have made a tremendous effort to support their school.”

In a major effort to support local communities and families across Australia, Beerburrum State School is now in with a chance to share in $16 000 cash courtesy of CUA (Credit Union Australia). CUA Chief Executive Office, Chris Whitehead, said “our sponsorship of the Fun Run program is an opportunity to not only support our schools financially but to encourage kids to get outdoors and have a bit of fun through this sporting activity.

“The School Fun Run Program provides an avenue for schools and community groups to raise money and at the same time encourages students to participate in healthy outdoor activities – so thank you all involved who made this event a huge success”.

Beerburrum State School benefits from the fundraising event by retaining 80 percent of all funds raised in 50 percent cash and an additional 30 percent in incentive prizes for the students. Each student raising $10.00 or more received a prize of their choice. In addition, every student received a Certificate of Participation for their fantastic efforts! Congratulations Beerburrum State School.

The afternoon involved Playing games at playing various board Eudlo State School games and card games which helped the children (and some family members) to extend their literacy and numeracy skills in a fun and exciting way. It was a wonderful afternoon, and it was excellent to see the huge number of families who turned up to join in on the fun!

Travelling Tales Proudly sponsored by with Natalie Hazelden, Beerwah Travel Beerwah Last year we had the great opportunity to travel with a film crew into the breathtaking heart of the Kimberley’s in Western Australia. Our truck, a Landrover Defender 130, fully equipped, was loaded up on a truck three weeks before our Journey began. We arrived in Broome at ten at night, and the film crew picked us up after they collected our Landy. We stayed the night at a caravan park and the next day our amazing journey began.

After days of driving our overheated Landy, a good, reliable friend to us (after some minor repairs from my dear husband), we were delighted to find relief in the pristine, clean freshwater springs, along the Gibb River Road, and float on our backs to let our sore bodies cool down. Always keeping in our minds the crocs, which were everywhere! But we didn’t really care. We really thanked God that we had this deluxe refreshment along the long road heading north.

We explored the ancient Aboriginal art sides that were tucked away, and it was an absolutely humbling moment in time when you realise and acknowledge that these people were here long, long ago… way before white man came and introduced alcohol to poison these darkest of skins and precious souls, long before all those ‘truths’ we were taught about history. I was stunned, and ashamed about our, and my, 'disacknowledgement' of such an incredible deep spiritual Aboriginal culture.

The real magic happens when you are sitting in these sacred places and recalling a time 40,000 years ago when children played and fished in these very same divine waterholes and magical waterfalls we are experiencing now, today…Manning gorge, Mitchell Falls plateau, Honeymoon Bay, Kalumbaru, Belle Gorge…magic places, still here.

The film crew were teaching multimedia and film making at the community school, and after the weekend, swimming with these beautiful open hearted kids, we got to know them all, and as we stepped into the classrooms on Monday morning, welcomed by big smiles, like we where old friends visiting again.

It was a delight to see them so interested in the ‘outside world’ and all I could notice were these big brown eyes looking at us, in fascination of what we could tell them of this world. Samm, an Aboriginal woman, who was the main figure and part of the film crew, taught them the motto: “Strong and deadly, you can do it”, explaining, that she stepped up out of a poor Aboriginal community, not far from where we were, when she was a child, and that each one of these beautiful kids can make a difference in their world. No matter where you’re from. “There is a lot out there, that you don’t understand, but don’t be afraid, it’s there for you too. Don’t forget to listen to your elders, and don’t forget the stories they tell you. Absorb it, understand it and be true to yourself,” she told them.

We made it to El Questro, gorgeous waterholes in lush tropical divine rainforest, and lookouts that could be from the set of the Lion King. It just looks all so much like Africa out here. Also the place that ‘Australia’ the movie was filmed in 2007. The locals where very proud of their land and showed off their autographs and photos with the actors. We finally made it up to Darwin, where we had to bring the red dusty, “in need of repair-Landy” to the pick up point. Driving on the remote roads, breathing red dust and getting burned from the enormous outback sun, we did it!! We had two nights in a beautiful motel, and I could shower and wash my red dirt away, and after a sensational sleep in airconditioning, we had to fly home towards reality again.

It was an absolute beautiful, amazing three and a half weeks experience, on the dusty roads of the Kimberley's that I wouldn’t want to have missed, and to be continued, hopefully. The memories remain in our hearts forever.

BUZZ

New website aimed at improving farming efficiencies A new website launched earlier this month is being welcomed by local farmers and resellers as a way to save time and improve efficiencies.

LIVE FARMING (www.livefarming.com.au) co-founder, Francisco Lettieri, said in the last few weeks, businesses from Bundaberg, Oakwood, Childers, Maryborough, Tiaro and Gympie have all signed up. “They are very excited! This is an opportunity for them to grow their business but what it really does is it saves them time when quoting to their customers”, Francisco said.

He said the best thing about the service was that it focused on local businesses. “While some Internet sites aim at delivering product to thousands of customers from a central location, this site recognises the fact that businesses near to their customers know their markets best.

“Live Farming doesn’t sell any product; it facilitates communication between businesses and their customers.” The website is www.livefarming.com.au and Francisco can be contacted by email at frank@livefarming.com.au or mobile 0429 000 259.

Learning the right lessons?

After watching some very confusing displays of coaching, nurturing young talent and mentoring, I kept my mouth shut. As a parent, you don’t want to be critical of someone who is donating their time to help your child to improve their craft; however, this is the time that they most need someone to teach them not only the finer points of our great game but also the very fundamental basics that they will carry for the rest of their football career no matter how long or short it may be.

When you go to learn these finer points you don’t belt your team so that they would not be able to play on the weekend and your mates could be right there beside you defending that precious try line. It is however the case that in a contact sport that accidents will happen but by reducing the odds by not allowing, and more importantly not encouraging, such inexperienced youngsters, the chances of such instances happening should be nil.

My young son missed two games this year, one through a neck injury incurred at training while attempting a tackle toward a rampaging team mate who is a great young bloke and a terrific footballer, but who is not quite mature enough to determine how hard he should run at his mates.

Unfortunately my young son is too determined not to miss a tackle and so didn’t step out of the way from this freight train and payed for it. We didn’t complain or speak out but in the interest of his health he sat on the side line on that Saturday morning and cheered for his mates, especially the freight train.

What I find really disappointing is the lack of supervision from superior club officials to ensure correct and safe coaching methods are used. When you sign your child up for the sporting season you are trusting that they will be taken care of. Also if a parent expressed concern you would expect club officials to fully and appropriately investigate all avenues of concern before making a decision and enforcing a judgement that would greatly affect a young player. Not everything is always black and white, there are often many shades of grey.

Don’t forget the little guys

I would also like to highlight the incredible generosity of IGA retailers making valuable contributions to the Sunshine Coast communities in which their businesses exist.

IGA stores are independently owned and operated predominantly by Sunshine Coast residents and some of those store owners are residents of your electorate.

In the past 12 months alone, IGA stores on the Sunshine Coast have contributed an amazing $850 000 back to their local community groups.

This is not a new initiative. Through the IGA Community Chest program, IGA retailers have been contributing funds and making donations to local and national charities, clubs, schools and organisations, often without any great formal acknowledgement for many years.

IGA retailers are proud to make a difference and live by the philosophy of locals supporting locals.

Actions speak louder than words with IGA stores also purchasing $20 million dollars worth of product from Sunshine Coast suppliers in the past 12 months.

In addition to this, IGA stores collectively contribute $30 million dollars worth of employment across the Sunshine Coast region.

Small business in Australia has a critical impact on the local economy and I hope its affect is not forgotten with the glamorisation of big business.

Roz White, proprietor Whites IGA group Editor’s Note: congratulations to our local Beerwah Supa IGA, which recently celebrated the donation of $6,700 to local community groups in our area.

Development Response

To the lady and her family who are against the development, Poole Road and Fullertons Road, for a start you would know the Sunshine Coast hinterland is the fastest growing area in QLD. We as farmers have people like you who come to the area and start complaining about people spraying their crops, what else do you expect us to do but sell our land; I would suggest that you and anyone else who complains to move WEST and stop complaining. Trees block our views not houses, maybe where you live was someone’s farm too. On page 13 of same newspaper, Beerwah people seem to be happy about their development and the size of blocks.

More parking needed

The following letter has been sent to Mr. McArdle MP, Member for Caloundra, by Landsborough Area Community Association Inc in relation to the railway car park in Landsborough.

“As the duplication of the Beerburrum to Landsborough railway line has been in effect de-funded, Landsborough now needs the car park and bus bay on the eastern side to be done. A logical possibility would be to have the entrance for the new car park via Gantry Street and exit via Caloundra Road.

Car parking for the railway is at present totally inadequate, with the overflow of cars taking up a large section of Cribb Street for most of the day.

If we are to encourage people to use public transport, adequate parking is essential for those who commute daily to Brisbane on the trains.

We ask that you raise this issue for us in the hope that action will be taken to alleviate the problem of parking in Landsborough, considering that the proposed up grade has now been indefinitely shelved by the State Government.”

A. Husband Secretary LACA Inc.

Community group updates Glasshouse Mountains Toastmasters contributed by Martine Goedhart

Improve your listening skills Last week I promised to give some advice on how to become a better listener. Here are some tips; Stop talking, you cannot listen and speak at the same time. Use ‘receptive language’ such as uh uh…. I see…. Oh really’ to encourage the speaker and show that you are following the information; show the speaker that you are interested in what is being said. Use facial expression and body language to give positive feedback; watch for the non-verbal cues and pick up on what is not being said but is needed to understand the message;really listen to what the speaker is saying and listen with an open mind; wait until the speaker has finished to start analysing and evaluating the information by comparing and contrasting with what you already know.

Hear and listen: understand and think; consider and speak - it is pretty sad that we recall only 25 percent of what people are telling us. Would there be fewer misunderstandings if we were to listen more carefully? By being a Toastmaster you learn how to confidently convey and be a considerate listener. Learn how to evaluate fellow members and give constructive feedback and advice for further improvement, as well as listening and evaluating a fellow member, you learn how to give feedback and advice to improve. All this is done in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere where you learn while having great conversation. Join us for a meeting and judge for yourself. If you are interested give Kerry a call on 5493 0650 or Martine on 5496 9855. We would love to hear from you.

Change of venue!

Glasshouse Country Toastmasters is growing in membership, and after many years of having our meetings in the cosy annexe room of the Beerwah Library we’ve had to find a new home.

We are very fortunate to have found that in the hall at the back of the Church on the Rise, a little bit further along Peachester Road. Meeting times are still the same. Every second and fourth Thursday of the month from 9.00am for a 9.30am start. We would like to thank the lovely people from the library for looking after us all this years, we always appreciated your co-operation.

Overseas investors

Australia has been ranked as the third most attractive location in the world for primary and retail investors. The figures are released by the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Confidence Index. The United States and Canada are first and second, respectively. In addition, Australia has risen from 11th to seventh place as a favoured destination for foreign direct investment. Further details are available at: www.austrade.gov.au/invest/ investor-updates/100903-australia-ranked-as-attractive-for-investors/ default.aspx

Job Statistics

Figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics show that around one in six workers have started a job with a new employer in the year to February 2010. The ABS says that of the 10.9 million people who were working as at February 2010, around 18 percent ( two million) had been with their current employer/business for less than one year. Around half of these workers (963,000) had changed employer within the previous 12 months. Further information is available from the Australian Bureau of Statistics at www.abs. gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/mediareleasesbyReleaseDate 0485D1F139F62 DE3CA256EFA007DBDA0?OpenDocument

Beerwah’s Best gains state recognition

Regular readers of this column will know that I have great faith in the youth of our region.

I also have admiration for the schools and teachers which help turn our youngsters into first class citizens and the families which instill good values into their kids before delivering them into the school system.

A combination of all three will see a fine young man from Beerwah receive an Order of Australia Association Student Citizenship Award at Parliament House in Brisbane on September 13.

17-year-old Andrew Perryman richly deserves the award and so do those who have nurtured his impressive academic, sporting, musical and community achievements.

Andrew is Captain of the Beerwah State School and has been Dux of the Year from Year 8 onwards.

Last year he was one of only five Queenslanders to attend the International Science School held in Sydney and was also winner of the 2010 State Outstanding Science Student in the Peter Doherty Awards.

Andrew also notched up the senior prize for physics in the Primary Industries Centre for Excellence at the University of the Sunshine Coast.

Musically, he has been honoured at State level and now holds an award of A. Mus. from the Australian Music Exam Board, which means he is suitably ranked to enter the Queensland Orchestra. His favoured instrument is the clarinet. By now it probably comes as no surprise that this talented young man has also gained Duke of Edinburgh bronze and silver awards, was a Lions Youth of the Year, was a State runner-up in “plain English speaking” awards, has been a member of the Beerwah Student Council since Year 8 and has been instrumental in fundraising and community events around his home town. Andrew will be one of only nine Queensland students to receive an engraved gold medallion and a framed Certificate of Merit at the dignified ceremony on September 13. His family and friends will be immensely proud on the day and so they should be. Beerwah should also be proud as should the rest of the Sunshine Coast.

The purpose of the awards – among other things – is to recognise individual students who have displayed a commitment to bettering the world they live in and are excellent role models and leaders. Take a bow Andrew Perryman.

Criterium track at Skippy Park on Old Landsborough Road

Following on from my column last week advising that the Criterium track will soon be open to the community and the gate unlocked, my office has received several calls regarding mini-motorbikes using the track. The track is strictly designed for bicycles and walkers only. Should you see any unauthorised motorised vehicles/bikes in Skippy Park, please contact the local Police.

Landsborough Sports Ground gets a new relocatable stand

The Sunshine Coast Radio Control Club's Drivers' Stand has recently received a face lift with the removal of a deteriorating scaffold stand and the construction of a three metre high relocatable drivers' stand. The new stand gives a birds eye view of the track allowing an uninterrupted view for all racers.

Trees to be trimmed and removed

Energex will soon be removing two old Wattle trees that are leaning out over Coochin Road, Peachester.

They will also be trimming the large Ficus tree near the shop in Peachester as it has grown within the clearance zone of the powerlines.

Mary Cairncross – Community and Council leading the way

A small group of representatives took two days out of their busy schedules to visit a number of other reserves, so that they could benchmark current and future practices for Mary Cairncross.

They visited Redlands Indigiscapes Centre and heard the story of their evolution from a two staff, low budget establishment to a 16 strong operation, with an annual budget of six million dollars.

They were given insights from Managing Director, Shane O’Reilly on the changing eco tourism market and how O’Reilly’s has evolved in response to the demand for this type of facility through the years. They heard first hand about the experiences of Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary CEO, Jonathan Fisher, in working with volunteers, committees and limited funds.

I would have liked to have travelled with the group to learn and observe best practice but unfortunately was unable to do so due to other commitments.

The group have reported back a fresh perspective on the Reserve and what might be possible as we face the challenges together to manage our very valuable natural reserves not only in Cairncross but across the region. I would like to take the opportunity to thank all those involved.

Presentation to Maleny Rotary

Dr Shirley Zipperlen, Senior Program Coordinator, Natural Areas Environmental Operations Branch will be giving a presentation to Maleny Rotary Club on October 6 on “Mary Cairncross: Preserving the Past, Creating the Future”. It should be a good opportunity to revitalise links with the Club - as you know, they have been great supporters of the Reserve since the 1960s, and were instrumental in constructing the first tracks and opening the park to the public.

‘Desex in the City’ campaign

In a pilot project that looks to break the cycle of unwanted cats and kittens at the beginning, the Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge (SCARS) has launched the ‘Desex in the City’ Campaign. This campaign in partnership with local participating Vets, offers to desex up to 500 ‘owned’ cats on the Sunshine Coast at a cost of just $49.00 each. For further information contact SCARS on 5494 5275 or go to www.sippycreek.com.au

The leading researcher on Australia’s first large-scale study to follow men with prostate cancer for five years from their diagnosis has urged Queensland men to fight prostate cancer with physical activity.

Professor Suzanne Chambers, lead researcher on the ProsCan project for Cancer Council Queensland, said men affected by prostate cancer could benefit significantly from a healthy diet and lifestyle.

“Prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in Queensland men and has significant impact on men’s health,” Prof Chambers said.

“What we also know though is that as this disease mostly affects older men, they are often at the same time facing other chronic illness, such as hypertension and heart disease, which further compromise their quality of life.

“Much of this is related to being overweight and having an inactive lifestyle.”

“As the number of men with prostate cancer increases in our community we need to be thinking about ways to help them enhance their quality of life,” Prof Chambers said.

“The good news is that as well as helping with overall wellness, there is evidence to suggest that higher levels of physical activity and strength may also enhance men’s ability to manage the side effects of prostate cancer treatment.”

Prof Chambers is currently leading a study following men with prostate cancer for five years to document their patterns of care and better understand the impacts of the cancer on their health and quality of life.

“Prostate cancer is a major issue in men’s health, with one in eight Queensland men at risk of developing prostate cancer in their lifetime,” she said.

September is prostate cancer awareness month and Cancer Council Queensland is urging all Queenslanders with questions about prostate cancer to call the Cancer Council Helpline on 13 11 20.

‘Thumbs up’ for new support tool In a first for Queenslanders affected by cancer, a new resource is available to help patients and their carers and families cope through cancer diagnosis and treatment. Cancer Council Queensland’s Cancer Counselling Service, has proudly launched the new resource, 'Coping with cancer - a guide for people with cancer, their families and friends'. Previously, support resources have been adapted from booklets from overseas. This is the first booklet of its kind to be produced entirely by the Cancer Council’s Cancer Counselling team. Executive Manager of the Cancer Counselling Service, Sandy Hutchison, said 'Coping with cancer' was developed out of necessity, to support Queenslanders affected by cancer. “Around 21,000 Queenslanders are diagnosed with cancer each year, and for most people, this will be a very difficult time as they try to come to terms with their diagnosis, make choices about medical treatments and face unexpected demands,” she said. “Our booklet aims to guide patients and their families through the cancer experience, an experience that, for most

people, is new and challenging. “I’m very happy to be launching 'Coping with cancer'. It’s great for our wonderful volunteers and supporters to see how the funds they work so hard to raise are used, to better support the Queensland community affected by cancer. The booklet explains some common reactions people with cancer may have, practical strategies, different coping suggestions and ways to build good relationships with the health professionals involved in their care.

A cancer journey is not travelled alone, so our booklet also contains information to help loved ones and friends, as well as the patient,” Ms Hutchison said.

'Coping with cancer - a guide for people with cancer, their families and friends' is available free for all Queenslanders affected be cancer, simply by contacting the Cancer Council Helpline on 13 11 20.

Cancer Council Queensland is an independent, community-based charity. The achievements of Cancer Council Queensland are made possible by the generosity of Queenslanders.

Glasshouse Country Ministers Fellowship Mike Turner Beerwah State High School Chaplain When we are talking with people about how we are going, more often than not you hear the words “I’m really busy” or “I’m finding that I’m often tired”. It doesn’t take a genius to realise that life in the 21st century is getting faster and faster. Now, I am telling you something that you already know, but it will serve purely as a gentle reminder.

All of us have many different hats; we all have demands of our time, energy, attention and money. We have family and work commitments, school and social commitments and jobs around the house. We have doctors to visit, shopping to do, people to support and somewhere in there… we need time out.

The Bible talks about the Sabbath a fair bit, being a special day devoted to resting and spending time with God. In fact God commands us to do this. He does this because he knows that we need it. We have all heard of phrases like “burn out” and unfortunately even kids experience this kind

of stress at times, especially when they have a lot on their plate.

Something I have been guilty of in the past when questioned about working too much, is saying “Oh, I don’t have time to have a break”. Well, I have since learned that for the sake of my family, my kids, my health and even the quality of the work I do, I must put the brakes on regularly and recharge my emotional and physical batteries. Many people also see the value in spending time praying and see many benefits from that.

I’ll leave that with you. Be kind to yourself and keep your life balanced and healthy and your loved ones and your workmates will thank you for it too.

Upgrade your kitchen and your appliances!

You may know Jeff and Rob from Reno-vateIT Cabinets (for all your kitchen, bathroom and laundry renovation needs) but are you aware that they also offer custom DIY flat pack kitchens? These are made to suit your home (this means no modifications to get cabinets to fit).

All materials are built from Australian made and compliant HMR and MDFMR boards – unlike some others that are on the market today and they guarantee to beat the big hardware suppliers’ prices.

If you are not in a position to assemble and install your new DIY flat pack kitchen, Reno-vateIt Cabinets can also pre-assemble and install for just a few dollars more.

Why not complete your new kitchen with a brand new cooking package?

Reno-vateIT Cabinets offer a wide range of appliance packages to suit your budget and needs.

From basic packs through to top of the range induction cooktops and gas freestanding cooking centres, see www.renovateit.com.au for more details on these fantastic offers or call 5494 0522.

Remember, you don’t need to purchase a new kitchen to take advantage of these cooking appliance deals. So why wait, give Jeff and Rob a call today and get cooking in your new kitchen before Christmas.

Reno-vateIt Cabinets have been situated in Beerwah Parade Beerwah for the last four years, taking over the premises of a cabinet company which had been there for 11 years. This makes them part of the longest running cabinet company in the Beerwah / Glass House District and, as such, a truly local business.

| SEPTEMBER 15 2010

Sunshine Pots Galore has been operating on the Sunshine Coast for nearly 20 years. The business had been located at Main Road, Kuluin for many years until April of this year when we relocated to Aussie World, Palmview.

The new location is highly visible from the Bruce Highway and is very easy for our customers to find. We are now doing a lot more business with the communities south of Maroochydore as well as repeat business from our old, established customers.

We have always specialised in the larger pots and urns.

If you are looking for a feature pot that will make a statement in its own right, then look no further.

We have a large number of glazes that are unique to Pots Galore - Glacier White, Sapphire, Copper, heavy Metal and Swamp are only a few of these.

We also have Old Stone and Atlantis. The Old Stone is a high-fired clay which is mixed with an iron stone. The finished product looks like it has been sand blasted. It has a very natural look and will fit in with any decor.

The Atlantis product looks like it has been under the sea for hundreds of years. It is a real feature product and will enhance any indoor or outdoor setting.

Most of our pots and urns can be made into water features. If you want a unique water feature that no one else will have, then look no further.

We are open from 9.00am-4.00pm, seven days a week.

We enjoy assisting our clients with their pot selection in a friendly and professional manner. We provide a delivery service as well as a home advisory service.

Current owners Bob and Janet Mansfield have owned the business for the past eight years.

The renovation revolution Renovating a property has never been more popular, however first time renovators need to do their homework to avoid the inevitable, “if only I knew that before I started!” Cathy Abercrombie and her husband have renovated 10 homes! “The old homes seem to have stronger frames and always have character that we find appealing that new homes don’t seem to capture,” Cathy said. She admits they are not experts but they have learnt a lot along the way. “You should live in the house for at least a year before making a decision over say walls coming down, kitchen design etc.

Don’t rush in to making expensive changes to the house, live there for a while to get a feel for things like air flow, natural light in winter/ summer.”

Cathy also has a few tips for renovators. “If you’re on a budget, and isn’t everyone, I would suggest looking for casement windows (for old timber homes) in demolition yards, check out the ‘for sale’ in your local paper, it’s no use driving five hours to save $100 on a piece of timber. Also wait until you can get a few things from the one supplier, you may be able to get a better deal. “Always get three quotes, trades can vary greatly on cost. We are lucky that my husband is licensed to do tiling, waterproofing and other smaller jobs but we always leave electrical and permanent structure changes to the professionals in that trade. We always use local tradies because their reputation depends on our satisfaction. They can easily quote and follow up on works completed.”

The biggest mistake they made was buying the next home to renovate before they sold the last one.

“No, no, no, never ever do that - way too stressful,” she said.

Cathy said seeing the end result is the most satisfying part of renovating a home. “Giving something that is worn out and tired a new energy and restoring its beauty is wonderful. Renovating isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, make sure you are up for the dust everywhere, living without a shower for a week or two, maybe having no kitchen for a month and always banging your toe on tools that are permanently left in doorways or hallways.

The end result is definitely worth it though.”

Spring Home Sweet Home It’s the great Australian dream, to have a place to call your own. That classic Australian film, ‘The Castle’ made us all realise that it doesn’t matter what type of residence you live in there’s always something special about the place you choose to hang your hat, or as Darryl Kerrigan famously said, “It’s not a house, it’s a home.” We asked a few local identities what the word ‘home’ means to them.

GC News star receptionist Sarah Taylor-Fox, 20, lives with her boyfriend Shane Moffat and two other roomies, Dana and Tara as well as her dog Miley and turtle L.J at Glass House Mountains. They rent their brick house, which is on just under 1 acre, from a family member.

Sarah has lived in six houses in her lifetime.

To Sarah, “Home is where the heart is, where you can feel comfortable; somewhere you can go and relax, whether it be your family’s house or your house.

Jan Kesby, from, Mooloolah Water Watch/Landcare, lives on acreage at Mooloolah. She has lived in around nine homes in her lifetime. Jan said, “The best thing about my current home is I have lots of animals, birds and butterflies and beautiful rainforest. The view from the back of my house is just magic.” To Jan, home means “a place you can feel comfortable in, a place that renews your energy. After a hard days work, it’s nice to come back to my place and just look at that rainforest and feel comforted.

It gives me energy back again. Your home is your base where you go to replenish yourself, restore your soul, with my place that is what it does for me. If I could change anything, I’d probably build something closer to the rainforest, overlooking it, so it would even be more spectacular,” she said.

Rod Jobe, from Church on the Rise, lives in a two storey home with his wife. He has lived in around 18 homes since he was a child as his parents were Pastors and they moved around a lot. Rod said, “Home is a place of refuge for me really. It’s my refuge, my castle. Where I am now has plenty of room and I’ve got a large shed. Every man enjoys his shed and I’ve got a good shed. We did a lot a renovations when we first came up, so we’ve got it pretty well how we want it.

“My dream home would probably be a bit closer to the coast. My wife loves the ocean so I think something over the ocean, with a view out to the Glass House Mountains, would be nice,” he said.

“The best thing about my current home is probably the space.

We have the freedom to do what we want to the house like

the gardens, to make it feel like home. If I could do anything I’d make it double story - so there’s more room. It’s pretty roomy but there are so many people here. It’s pretty good other than that. My dream home would be a big property, a two storey house, with heaps of animals,” she said.

| SEPTEMBER 15 2010

B To Ron home means, “A place you come to that is relatively safe and relaxed. Where we are now is somewhere you can really have your personal space and do what you want to do. I wouldn’t change anything, we’re pretty well satisfied with what we have and what we’ve got.”

S

Ron Gillinder, who volunteers at Bankfoot House has only lived in four homes in his lifetime and currently lives in a renovated cottage on one acre at Glass House Mountains. One of his previous homes was in Herston. During the 1974 Brisbane floods that home had two metres of water through it. Needless to say, his subsequent homes were all on higher ground.

N FAMILY BUILD E S ER QBSA: 81205 DE N U Where Integrity Still Counts

Are You Finding Moving Up The Property Ladder Tough?

Ron Gillinder

Ron does think the concept of home has changed over the years. “Obviously with work demands the way they are people seem to spend a lot more time away from home. It seems to be a place to sleep rather than a place to relax and spend more time. People used to entertain themselves at home rather than go out. Working at Bankfoot house and looking at the Pianola that we have here and hearing the stories that are told about singsongs round the Pianola, that was their entertainment,” he said.

Furnishing your home with style and quality on a budget Is your old furniture looking tired? Wanting to furnish a new home, but think your budget won’t stretch to new furniture? At S&G Furniture, we can show you some functional furniture for outdoors as well as indoors at competitive prices.

Our outdoor furniture is made from Shorea, a solid weather resistant Malaysian hardwood similar to teak, but stronger and heavier. Being solid timber, it will stand up to wear and tear for longer. The natural density of Shorea resists rot even if left out during wet weather. As the furniture weathers it, turns to a silver grey as teak does. If furniture is to be left outside permanently, it’s a good idea to coat it with a teak oil to help protect it from the weather, stains and spills.

This will also give it a much richer appearance.

Our indoor furniture range includes bar stools, beds, lounge suites, dining suites and TV low line units plus many more other items. If we don’t have the item in stock, browse through our catalogues, and if you still can’t find what

you are looking for, we can get our local furniture manufacturer to give us a free quote.

We have a large range of mattresses on display, as well as beds. Most of our mattresses are made in Queensland and in as few as 10 working days from time of order, we can have a new mattress in stock for you (if you don’t want the floor stock models). With our other furniture, if its in stock from our supplier, we can have it in store in as few as seven days from the day of order, the only exception being when we place a special order (which may take four to six weeks).

With our own delivery service we can, in most circumstances offer same day delivery, and we also offer Certegy, a no interest ever repayment plan, just like a take home lay by. It only takes a few minutes to fill out the application in store, and approval is there and then (conditions apply see in-store). Come in and see us at S & G Furniture for friendly service, quick delivery and competitive prices.

Spring Reinventing home If your concept of home has become a little faded, perhaps it’s time to trade in the old for the new.

At any given time, there are a myriad of properties up for sale in Glasshouse Country, each one offering something a little different.

Last week, we took a peek at two properties currently on the market which stood out from the crowd.

FREE WATER TESTING Great Range of Pool Toys Open 8.30am-4.30pm Mon-Fri & Sat 8am-12pm

Unique hexagonal home

In the heart of Glasshouse Country there is what can only be described as a unique home, one that would be sure to keep the homeowner occupied and entertained with its clever engineering and fresh design approach. Traditionally, a hexadome is a multi-sided dome designed to be both energy and space efficient, and that is exactly what is on offer here. Featuring two hexagons joined by a square living area, the home is set on an acre block and surrounded by 80 hectares of forestry.

The home is well ahead of its time, with the use of recycled building materials and based on energy efficient principles designed to capture breezes in the summer, and insulate against the cold in winter. Even its open plan layout is

surprising, spread over two storeys and boasting four bedrooms, multiple living areas, two bathrooms and a spa, a wood fire burner, and an inground swimming pool. Follow the meandering path through the landscaped garden and you will find yourself at the three sheds that also occupy the fenced property. The first shed has double roller door carport and enclosed area and would make an ideal work from home setup. The second has three car spaces while the third is equipped with toilet and bar facilities. For more information about this property, which is listed at $590,000, contact Andrew Dobbie at Ray White Beerwah on 5439 0300 or 0429 690 182.

Mediterranean-inspired home Just down the road at Eudlo, you will find an equally remarkable and stunning property. Peter and Lia Vermeer’s Mediterranean-inspired home looks like something out of a Home Beautiful magazine.

Cleverly crafted by Peter over the past seven years, it’s a testament to his skills as a builder and artisan. Set amongst a lush landscape with scenic views and a tranquil outlook, Peter said it’s the majestic views across the hinterland from the deck that he and Lia will miss the most. Now that Peter and Lia has finished putting the final touches to the magnificent property that they’ve spent the past seven years laboring over, the pair have decided it’s time to move on with Peter keen to get to work on another project.

So with not a thing to do, this is certainly a sparkling gem destined to shine for many years to come. Featuring three large bedrooms and three bathrooms, an art studio or possible granny flat, the home, is set amongst a very private 3.5 acres and features a stunning outdoor kitchen and dining area, the perfect accompaniment for any serious entertainer. Words don’t do this property justice. For more information, contact the agent, Matthew Guillemet, at SCR Mooloolah on 5492 9977 or 0437 230 011.

With the cost of utilities expected to keep increasing in the years ahead, it’s not surprising that people are seeking alternatives in an effort to protect their household budget. It’s also not surprising that there are many fly-by-night sales people keen to get you to part with your hardearned money.

So for a safe and guaranteed solution to insulate your home against the spiralling cost of electricity, give a trusted local a call. Bi-Rite Electrical in Maleny is your local, authorised and licensed supplier and installer of quality solar grid systems.

Let the sun’s energy work for you – and make a profit in the process! When you install a solar grid on your roof, the excess energy is sold back

Glasshouse Country Bromeliad Society Inc. Contributed by Bob McLean, President Phone: 0427 606 240 This time I would like to share some details of another bromeliad genus, Alcantarea. Currently this genus has eighteen different species.

Recently separated from the genus Vriesea, Alcantarea imperialis reaches a height of 2.7m and a diameter of 1.5m. The flower spike, which can be up to 1.5m tall and contain hundreds of individual flowers, is similar in shape to a large candelabra, with many side branches. This is a spectacular, and relatively easy to grow plant, which will provide a

great feature in your garden, either as a single specimen or in a group.

The Alcantarea imperialis is a variable species that exhibits a wide range of leaf colour and form in the wild. The bright red form that is usually called ‘rubra’ is just an expression of this species, and the dark purple type, usually called ‘purple’, is another.

If they are grown from seed, the parent characteristics don’t always come through. So from a ‘rubra’ parent plant, the commercial grower will get a mix of ‘rubra’, ‘purple’ and lots of green and intermediate foliage colours.

Unfortunately for the home gardener buying one from a nursery, they will look very similar until they are at least half a metre high, and the customer may be disappointed when their purchase turns out to be a colour they were not expecting.

The Alcantarea will grow in almost any soil although they do prefer a free-draining soil.

Applications of fertiliser will certainly get them growing faster and bigger but a reduction in leaf colour may result with too much nitrogen.

They are completely resistant to salt spray, wind, they are cold hardy and will cope with several frosts in a season. This plant will grow well in full sun to providing the colour contrast in the leaf to provide a magnificent show.

Leptospermum ‘Cardwell’ Leptospermum polygalifolium subspecies tropicum Spring is the month for wildflowers and one of our most beautiful displays is that of our Leptospermums or Tea Trees. Leptospermum polygalifolium is found from Cape York to SE NSW. This time of year they are exploding with masses of white, five-petalled flowers. This mass flowering will continue throughout Spring.

Leptospermum ‘Cardwell’ is a selection from

Ph: John 0412 690 323 A/H 5432 8833

a subspecies that grows around Cardwell in northern Queensland. It is much bushier and does not grow as sparse or tall as our local form.

It grows approximately 2 metres x 1.5 metres in a garden situation, it is highly ornamental with weeping foliage and will attract many species of insects when flowering. These, in turn, will attract insect-eating birds.

If you would like more information on this tree or any other native plants drop in and see Simon or Melissa at Go Green Rainforest Nursery, 2620 Steve Irwin Way, Glenview. Phone 5494 5980. Email: gogreenrainforest@bigpond.com Now open 7 days.

Home Sweet Home Voxpop What exactly is 'home'? We headed to the streets to find out what “home” means to some of our local residents.

1 Danni-elle Kelly, Peachester “The word home would be somewhere where you can feel safe, where you can be yourself. A family environment really.”

2 Milena, Beerwah “Home means family. A place of security and good times.”

3 Mary Cameron, Mt Mellum “I suppose home is the place that I feel most comfortable. Home is where I have my dogs, my husband, my garden, all my lovely birds and we’re very blessed in having a very nice location. Home is very important to me – the most important place in the world.”

3 Features include

4 Leila Josey, Beerwah

“Home is where my family is basically. You can be home wherever you are as long as you have your family with you.”

5 Riny De Rooy, Beerwah

“It means cosy, a family place. I rent at the moment so to make it like home I put up my own pictures, and have a nice cosy corner to sit. I always prefer a round table because I reckon that’s nice with the family around it.”

News in brief Design a library card and showcase your artistic talent!

Are you aged between 13 and 25, live on the Sunshine Coast and have artistic talent? Then this competition is for you. Sunshine Coast Libraries already have over 17,000 young adult members, and are keen to attract more young adults to join as library members.

The 'DesignAcard' competition aims to showcase the wealth of talent in the region, by encouraging young people to design new library cards for young adults. Young people are encouraged to propose a design for a new library card by submitting their work, no matter what style of art they choose to use.

The entries will be judged and some of the best will be selected as designs for new library cards to be released in early 2011. Winners will have the chance to work with a local graphic designer to refine their designs prior to them being printed on the cards.

The competition closes on October 29 and entries will be shortlisted by a community panel in early November.

Winners will be chosen by an online vote, to be held on the Sunshine Coast Libraries website during the month of November. More information can be found at the Sunshine Coast Libraries website: http://library.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

Entertain with mountain views, $430,000 This four bedroom, two bathroom, three year old brick home has a tank, solar hot water and side access wide enough to fit a caravan or boat. There are two separate living areas, both with air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout the home which ensure year round comfort.

The six foot high timber fencing is perfect for keeping your children or pets safe and also provides privacy. Your car accommodation is taken care of with a double remote garage which is accessed by a pebblecrete driveway. A large patio overlooks the backyard and is perfect for entertaining family and friends. At the rear is a lawn locker big enough to store tools and equipment and the property is approximately

A fairytale adventure

824m² in size. For your personal inspection of this immaculate property, please phone Kelvin Brady on 0429 003 338.

Situated on 3,378m² of land, is this custom designed, three bedroom, two bathroom home, straight out of a fairytale. Character abounds in the home, from the Tasmanian Oak floors underfoot to the especially imported Canadian Oregon beams in the raked ceilings soaring overhead. There are three separate outdoor areas and every room in the house enjoys lovely Glass House Mountain views.

Outside there is a separate, fully self-contained granny flat or teenagers’ retreat, complete with air conditioning and its own garaging. The two-tier yard has plenty of space for the kids or pets to run and with the home being on termite resistant white cypress stumps, there is the added benefit of plenty of under house storage as well. All this, and much, much more, located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought after township of Beerwah. This house simply must be seen to be appreciated… one of a kind.

Contact Ben Guillemet, SCR Mooloolah, phone 5492 9977, 0414 807 821.

Room for the whole family This four year old home of just under 300m² and has plenty of room for the whole family.

Four bedrooms (master with ensuite and walk

in robe), plus a home office which could be a fifth bedroom if needed. The stylish, modern kitchen lays central to the four separate living areas in the home, two of which look out to the covered outdoor entertainment area and beyond to the adjoining bushland.

The in-ground salt water pool also enjoys the privacy and relaxing views of the bushland behind the property. All this and much, much more situated on 982m² of level, fenced land and located in a no through road... What more could you ask for at this price!

47 Gowen Drive, Landsborough, $489,000.

Grab granny and head for the valley If you have an extended family, need space for a pony, or just like your privacy then this 5.48 acre property has what you’re after. With a fully fenced horse paddock (approx. 2.25 acres) there is more than enough room for a couple of horses to be comfortable. The self contained granny flat is separate from the house and can be rented out for extra income if not needed by family members or would make a great Art Studio with its leafy outlook. The main residence is in very tidy condition and has three good size bedrooms with an ensuite off the master, two living areas and

Sunshine Coast Half Marathon Show-Cases Incredible Talent The scene for the third annual Sea FM Sunshine Coast Half Marathon was set today complete with beautiful weather, a picturesque sea-side course and even a pod of dolphins showcasing the wonderful Buddina setting. There was an abundance of local and international talent competing. Maroochydore’s Neil Labinsky wowed the crowd by taking first place in a mere one hour and 13 minutes. Brisbane running-ace Clare Geraghty was a crowd favourite winning the female division in just one hour and 18 minutes. The former National Cross Country Champion took first place in the Noosa Half Marathon earlier this year and was pleased with her performance today. This was Clare’s first Sunshine Coast Half Marathon and she is keen to return for the next one. “The course is beautiful and the event has a great feel,” she told race organisers.

A diverse field of entrants took part in the run, with participants hailing from as far as Melbourne, Chicago and Africa. 10 kilometres first place winner John Ndungu completed the course in just over 32 minutes. Ndungu has been sponsored to come to Australia from Kenya, starting his professional running career in an aim to support his family back in Africa. The 10 kilometre female event was won by Brisbane’s Victoria Royle in 41 minutes.

Race organisers were extremely pleased with the event. With over 700 competitors, the event manages to maintain both a competitive and community-spirited feel. The race is growing every year and relies on the support of volunteers and local businesses. A percentage of all the 2010 entrance fees will be donated to the Salvation Army, which does a great job of helping those facing hard times on the Coast.

Beerwah high cheerleaders to do battle in Brisbane The Sunshine Coast’s top cheerleaders and dancers are busy practising their best moves and stunts in preparation for the World Cup Cheer and Dance (WCC) Asia Pacific Grand Finals in Brisbane on September 18-19. Beerwah State High School is one of four Sunshine Coast teams who have progressed to the competition following the Queensland State Champs earlier this year.

WCC CEO Lyn Parker said more than 2,000 of Australia’s growing legion of cheer and dance fanatics will do battle at the event, alongside competitors from the Philippines and the US, including current world champion team the Top Gun All Stars. “Since the WCC series launched three years ago, hundreds of new cheer and dance teams have been formed across the country, from the Sunshine Coast and Tasmania to Mount Isa,” Ms Parker said.

“Australian kids and adults, alike, have embraced the fun, fitness and team spirit involved in competitive cheerleading and dancing and our teams are fast proving a force to be reckoned with.

WCC is thrilled to have secured the Top Gun All Stars, celebrities in the world of competitive cheerleading, for the grand finals”.

Mitchell’s as quick as a flash On Sunday, August 29, Mitchell Delacy may not have had to run as quick as lightening to win the $3,000 Ipswich Lightening Gift but the 16 year old did have to beat competitors in their twenties in the Queensland Athletics League’s handicap event. With first place receiving $1,500, the Ipswich Lightening Gift is a 110 metre staggered start race that only top quality athletes can compete in. Mitchell, a Year 11 Beerwah State High School student, was not expecting to win.

“I was pretty happy. It’s a really big meet with really fast men. I’m normally outclassed by them but not this time.”

What’s makes his success more remarkable is the fact he has only been involved in athletics for three years. “I started in Year 8 and became really competitive in year 9. I train three to five days, two to three hours per day. That can go up to seven days before a competition.”

So far Mitchell’s fastest time is 11.54 (digital time) but he has run faster with hand held

timing. He is more than happy to do whatever he needs to , including juggling his athletics commitments with school and work because he has his eyes firmly on his future goals. “I’ll be trying to get to the Comm. Games and Olympics,” Mitchell Delacy he said. With his list of achievements growing, including reaching the State Athletics for school last year and bronze in the Townsville State Championships Little Athletics for 100 sprint, no doubt this is one determined, young man we will hear more of in the future.
