Hi Everyone

W

hen Australia Day rolls around each year – we always make sure that we include plenty of information on things to do locally on our most patriotic day of the year.

I am not sure if I am imagining it, but it seems that with each passing year there are more and more organised events along with our local pubs and clubs having themed activities on the day.

So you really don’t have any excuse for not dusting off your bucket hat with the Australian flag printed on it or wearing some other red white and blue clothing and getting out

Paul, Anne, Tom and Jessica Hughes moved from the Lancashire region in the north west of England and have been in Australia for just over five years.

They wanted to emigrate to give their kids an opportunity at a better life, and knew that Australia was the place to be.

Anne, Jessica, Tom, and Paul preparing for the big day

They bought the magazine, Australia and New Zealand, and from that picked the Sunshine Coast as looking like a nice place because of the climate.

and he is keen to help build on the club's proud history.

To emigrate, they bought a business (a canvas product manufacturing business) based at Caloundra, which they sold two years later.

Since then, Paul has been semi-retired and Anne is a teacher at Elimbah State School (Mrs Hughes).

Since November last year, Paul has taken on the role of President at the BeeGees Football Club,

They took their citizenship test in Brisbane – you are allowed 45 minutes to complete the 20 multiple choice questions. They took three and a half minutes to finish and got 100% right.

Anne says that the region is the best in the world to live. They went on holiday to Vanuatu recently where they toured waterfalls and beaches – they were nice but they both thought that the beaches along our coast and the waterfalls in our hinterland were much nicer than that.

Real Estate Tip

WHAT PRICE TO MARKET AT?

Competitive pricing is important to achieve a timely sale. Underpricing will certainly ensure a quick sale, but why accept less than market value? Overpricing can cost you a sale. If a Buyer is borrowing, their loan approval is subject to a property Valuation. Will yours measure up? Price correctly to avoid problems.

Feeding hungry koalas to get easier Feeding the family can be a tricky business.

Some are fussy eaters, some have special dietary requirements, some need more food, some need less food. And making sure the pantry is stocked with all you need, can seem like a never ending job.

The story is the same, even if that family is of the koala variety.

Local koala carers struggle to find the variety of leaves that are needed to supply the different needs of different aged koalas that they often have in their care at the same time.

It means that many carers spend precious time and money regularly driving for up to 160 kilometres to source fresh leaves from the specific species of eucalypts that the koalas eat.

Local community group the Glasshouse Mountains Advancement Network (GMAN) decided that something needed to be done to help, and last year they were successful in being awarded a grant through the Queensland Government’s ‘Everyone’s Environment’ program.

The grants, administered by the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection, for which our local MP Andrew Powell is the Minister, are aimed at grassroots action to tackle environmental issues.

Cliff Schnick, who composed the project proposal for GMAN, said that their project – the Koala Food Tree Project – was approved for the funding late last year.

“The project in total is valued at $7,000 and involves planting 500 gum trees of over 10 different species on a secure private property in the Glass House area.

“The variety and number of trees will mean that local government-approved koala carers will not have to travel far and wide to collect the fresh leaves they need to look after their sick and injured koalas”.

Caroline Hutchinson to be special guest

Sunshine Coast Radio Presenter Caroline Hutchinson. From 92.7 Mix FM will be visiting the Women’s Social Group that meets at Glass House Mountains Neighbourhood Centre on Wednesday, February 12.

The group would like to extend the invitation to women of all ages from across the Glasshouse Country area to come along. Light snacks and refreshments provided. RSVP by February 10.

The group meets every second Wednesday and is for local women wishing to form new friendships, feel supported and have some fun.

On Wednesday, February 26 they will be meeting for a casual cuppa and catch-up, and also brainstorming ideas for future activities. Bring a plate to share.

The Women’s Social Group meets from 12.30pm - 2.30pm at the Glass House Mountains Neighbourhood Centre, Ryan Street. All welcome.

A $2.00 donation is required by those attending.

Enquiries and RSVP’s phone 5438 7000. Stay tuned for more about the group’s first 2014 event in GCNews next week.

Vanda Grabowski with one of her koalas in care GMAN have sourced the right seed and are growing the seedlings at their GMAN nursery. And now all they need are some willing locals to help them prepare the planting sites and then plant the trees.

To learn more about caring for koalas, and to find out about the project and how to get involved, the group have organised a community information session on Saturday, February 1 starting at 10.00am at the Glasshouse Mountains Neighbourhood Centre (the hall opposite the post office).

“The morning is open to anyone interested in koalas. A local koala carer will speak about what they do and we’ll be talking about our koala food tree project, as well as explaining how people can be involved,” said Cliff.

The event is free of charge, and if you’d like to find out more about the project, you can contact the project manager Peter Kluver on 5438 7409.

The first site preparation / tree planning working bee is scheduled for February 15.

Funding success for local groups

Member for Caloundra Mark McArdle has congratulated seven school, sporting and community groups in the Caloundra electorate for being awarded a total of more than $144,000 in government funding.

Three of the seven approved grants were for groups in Glasshouse Country for the purchase of equipment.

The groups were Landsborough Kindergarten receiving $15,510.42 to install seating and purchase equipment, Glasshouse Country Horse and Pony Club $15,595.00 and Landsborough Scout Group that will receive $31,818.18.

The fund provides one-off grants to not-forprofit Queensland community organisations, with revenues sourced from gaming taxes placed on Golden Casket lotteries, wagering, keno and gaming machines.

Mr McArdle said he was pleased to see such dedicated organisations be successful in their applications. www.gcnews.com.au

All in for Finn

Late in 2013 GCNews brought you the story about little Finn Smith, grandson of Leona Coureas who is the Manager of the Shell Service Station at Beerwah.

Finn was struck down with meningococcal in late November and has undergone significant surgery to ensure he could beat the devastating disease.

Generous Sunshine Coast locals have been fundraising for the Smith family to be able to ease the load in coping with Finn’s future recovery.

The Co-op wanted to be able to support the family and decided to do a promotional offer where four cents from each litre of fuel purchased between December 15 and December 22 would go to the fundraising efforts.

This was also combined with a raffle, which was drawn last week. In total the funds raised have come in at a total of $8,224.00, a combination of $5,136.00 from the fuel promotion and $3,198.00 from the raffle, of which Ester Frizzo sold $,1050.00 worth of tickets just by herself.

Leona, Robert and Errol with the cheque

Best results, best technology

Co-op General Manager Errol Graham said he particularly wanted to thank all those who donated to the cause through the purchase of fuel during that week.

“The generous support of locals is heartwarming. We know by the volume of fuel sold, that many more people came here to buy fuel so that they Finn's now on the road to could contribute to recovery the fundraising.”

“It shows what a generous and compassionate community we have,” Errol said.

Sore neck and shoulders?

Are your sore neck and shoulders making life less enjoyable? Does sitting at the computer, driving, or even reading a book cause a burning discomfort in your shoulders that spreads up into the base of your skull?

If so, you may be suffering from Spinal Subluxation and poor posture – 2 common problems that chiropractic care is very effective in relieving.

Subluxation is the term chiropractors use to describe ‘dysfunctional’ vertebrae in the spine. This occurs when the spine loses normal motion and/or position, and can cause wear and tear on the discs, ligaments, muscles and other spinal tissues.

Subluxation can also have an affect on the nerves exiting the spine – leading to even more issues of pain and poor health.

Today’s lifestyle encourages us to fall into ‘forward head posture’ - where our head sits in front of our shoulders – rather than in line with the shoulders as it should. This forward posture has a significant impact on your health and your appearance and if left unaddressed, tends to get worse as you get older. Researchers agree that for every 2.5cm of forward head posture there is an equivalent increase of 4.5kg of stress on the neck. It’s no wonder poor posture is such a pain!

Poor posture and Spinal Subluxation often result in back aches, neck pain, jaw pain, loss of lung capacity, gastrointestinal problems, pre-disposition to arm, shoulder and rotator cuff injuries and the list goes on. Fortunately, we can help!

Call Adjust to Life Chiropractic today to find out if Spinal Subluxation is the cause of your discomfort.

FITNESS & COACHING

COACHING

30 MINUTES IS ALL IT TAKES

Forget ‘hours’ at the gym … just 30 minutes does the trick Forget working out two hours a day. Just 30 minutes, three times a week, is all that is needed for women to become fit and strong.

A scientifically proven 30 minute workout is one of the key ingredients behind the global success of the Curves women’s fitness and weight loss clubs.

According to Curves Director of Exercise and Research, Katie Mitchell, the use of hydraulic resistance exercise equipment is integral to the Curves 30 minute workout.

“Most women only have a small amount of time to fit exercise into their schedule so every minute counts.

“That’s why the Curves Circuit includes hydraulic resistance exercise equipment. This type of equipment gives women the ability to strength train opposing muscle groups at the same time. Doing two exercises on the one machine simultaneously cuts down workout time.

“Hydraulic resistance equipment is also generally safer than free weights because women are not required to pick up and put down heavy weights. The faster a member moves through our machines, the more resistance she will feel. This makes hydraulic resistance safe and effective for all fitness levels.”

Local lime caviar makes its mark

By Greg Brown

If it was up to Tracy Mackle, the old English nursery rhyme would be updated to ‘Finger limes and lemons say the bells of St Clements’.

For Tracy and her husband Gerard (and their three children), the native Australian fruit – finger limes – have become an integral part of their daily lives.

The Glass House Mountains couple have established the areas first commercial finger lime farm, called Coonowrin Fingerlimes on Back Creek Road.

Tracy shows how they grow on the tree Located on Steve Irwin Way Glass House Mountains

Your LOCAL supplier – similar prices to TV advertisers BUT definitely BETTER quality products, PLUS the peace of mind associated with dealing LOCALLY.

Call Ian on 5496 9024

Cnr Steve Irwin Way, Glass House Mountains Intersection

Gerard, Tracy’s Irish born beau, took an interest in all things bush tucker and when Tracy bought him a finger lime tree as a gift about five years ago, the seed of an idea was planted in her subconscious.

Finger limes are an Australian citrus, native to the Border Ranges areas of SE Queensland and northern New South Wales. They grow to be a tall shrub or small tree, and they are perfectly suited to being grown in our Glasshouse Country conditions.

Around four years ago, Tracy and Gerard decided to commercially plant finger limes and see if they could establish a local bush tucker industry.

They planted 170 trees of three different varieties – a pink, a red and a green variety.

It took until last January for them to commercially harvest their first crop – and excited is too small a word to describe what Tracy felt.

“It was so wonderful to be picking these beautiful little fruits from our small trees and local people buying them from local fruit shops,” said Tracy.

With the crop being sold through Matildas Fruit Barn, Vecchios and Glasshouse Fruit Shop (on Steve Irwin Way), locals seemed to take to the unusual fruits and Tracy sold the entire crop.

“This year because of the unusual weather, the plants have fruited early and we started picking in December.

“We harvested three or four times what we did last year, but we’ve still got a fair way to go to reach the 20kg per tree that the literature says we can expect.”

Harvesting is a difficult affair, as the plants are extremely thorny, meaning that long thick gloves are needed to prevent perforated hands and arms.

Beerwah Swimming Pool – a major renovation!

Brendan and Allison Roser have operated the Beerwah pool for the past 10 years and are excited to have recently won the tender to continue to manage the pool for the immediate future.

“We are passionate about the operation and running of the pool so that it suits the needs of the community, and encourage you to drop in for a chat,” they said.

“Over the last 10 years we have grown slowly with the community, and in the last six months we have noticed that the needs are growing and changing so we have overhauled the programming at the pool to start the new year with a new agenda.”

And following a recent major renovation of the pool, which was undertaken during the winter months, the 25 metre pool has now been fully tiled. The team is now back on track, offering excellence in swimming instruction in a family friendly environment at your local community pool.

The Water Warriors swimming lesson program has been updated, and there are some existing, new

Business feature

and motivated instructors on board. Lessons for mums and bubs through to adults are run during school term time. As they only have 1/2 an hour with your child each week, it’s important to match your child with the instructor that will get the best results. Water time as well as lessons is crucial as it allows time to practice safe swimming and build on swimming skills. With this in mind, Water Warriors Swim School is offering each child five free practice / play passes with prepayment of full term fees.

As well as swimming lessons for all ages, mini, junior, senior and adult squad, aqua aerobics and hydrotherapy are available.

The Beerwah Splash swim club is now up and running every Thursday at 5.00pm. It is lots of fun and free this season.

Swimming is an excellent form of exercise and a sport, but should also be considered a lifesaving skill. The Australian lifestyle with backyard swimming pools, time at the beach, and the proximity of rivers and dams mean drowning is a real danger to anyone who is not able to save themselves.

“The safety of you and your family in and around the water is our priority,” urge Brendan and Allison. “So please, regardless of your age, if you cannot swim well enough to save yourself or your family, consider learning to swim lessons.”

The pool complex is open 361 days of the year with heated swimming pools (no closure for winter), a large fully fenced and shaded children's play pool, plenty of seating and a coffee shop.

It’s perfect for play groups and young children's birthday parties.

Community News Timmomatic inspires local dancers Teghans Dance Club students cannot wait to get back into another year of dance!

Over this long summer break from dancing the students got their Hip Hop action fix when attending the Timmomatic concert on December 7.

In September Teghan had previously attended the Australian Dance Festival in Sydney, where for two days many well-known choreographers and Australia’s best dancers held and participated in workshops.

Timmomatic had one of the most popular workshops, over 100 dancers participated and out of these, Teghan was selected as one of his top six!

A moment not soon forgotten by Teghan!

Upon returning to Dance Club after the festival, Teghan came back inspired and demonstrated what she had learned in Sydney to her students.

Azalia Crawford (right), Kobi Smith (at back) and Mitchell Ward (left) were inspired and delighted to meet one of their idols!

They were all very excited and impressed to see Timmomatic live in concert and the energy and passion he has for his performing and dancing.

Thought about doing barbershop singing?

The Sunshine Statesmen are part of the worldwide Barbershop singers’ organisation, which has over 35,000 members. They have been active as a group on the Sunshine Coast for over 20 years, and include well known local identities such as Tony Eccles.

Barbershop singing is about harmony between the four parts (the leads, bases, baritones and tenors). The chorus has about 30 members and are looking to increase their numbers by holding free voice coaching lessons.

If you like to sing, you are encouraged to come along and see what the Sunshine Statesmen have to offer. There is friendship, fun and companionship to go along with the singing.

President Eric Simpson invites all interested men, even if they sing only in the shower, to their free annual voice coaching sessions, commencing with a ‘come and experience’ night at 7.00pm on Wednesday, February 5.

This will be followed by six Wednesday night coaching sessions.

The group meet at the Buderim Uniting Church Hall, 2-10 Gloucester Road, Buderim.

If you love to sing, come along and see what we are all about. Booking essential.

What’s new at the Museum?

Contributed by Bereny Volunteers at Landsborough Museum are busy preparing for their next big exhibition in April, called ‘A letter home’, which will coincide with Queensland Heritage Week.

Staying Strong and Sane

There will be dioramas depicting five eras in Landsborough’s history from the 1890s through to present day. And, as you can see in the photo, the team are struggling to find room to work among all the mannequins being dressed and prepared.

There are many costumes to be made and we’re having a lot of fun designing the theme of each display – like the hippy era of the 60s and 70s.

Later in the year, we’re planning another exhibition for Seniors Week in August / September and we always need new ideas for our ever-changing permanent displays.

If there’s anyone out there who’d like to come in and join us in getting the exhibition ready, or just to become part of our volunteer force, please contact the museum on 5494 1755.

Over the duration of the program (running over six weeks for two hours one day a week) you will gain a deeper understanding and the skills to promote a secure attachment with your child, explore the many facets of motherhood in a nurturing environment, share experiences and develop support networks and friendships.

Glasshouse Musician’s Club is hosting an afternoon concert featuring two of the most exciting young folk groups this country has to offer on Sunday, February 16 at 3.00pm.

‘One Up, Two Down’, and ‘Oh Pep!’ have very contrasting and complimentary approaches to their music, and all six musicians are tight friends. So how did this collaborative tour come together?

It starts back in 2012 when George Jackson, a NZ born fiddler living in Australia, was at a music camp in Florida to spend a week learning from some of the best fiddle tutors in the US. Another student at the camp that week was a prodigious young double bassist from North Carolina named Andrew Small, and it wasn’t long before these two musicians from opposite ends of the globe formed a friendship and began hatching a plan to start a band and get touring.

A few weeks later, George and Andrew flew to California to attend a second music camp and it was there that they met up with Melbourne fiddler Pepita Emmerichs and the tour really began to take shape.

A year and a half later, we have ‘One Up, Two Down’, George and Andrew’s band with Australian singer and guitarist Daniel Watkins, who recently recorded their debut EP in Nashville in September last year. Joining forces with Pepita’s award winning pop / folk band ‘Oh Pep’, who Andrew is performing with also.

‘Oh Pep!’ are musical explorers who travel in the form of a band; a collaboration between songwriters Olivia Hally (guitar, vocals) and Pepita Emmerichs (fiddle, mandolin), along with drummer Justin Olsson. Drawing upon their escapades, they take you on a carefully arranged folk / pop adventure for your ears. ‘One Up Two Down’ hail from three countries joined by the Pacific Ocean, George Jackson (NZ), Andrew Small (USA) and Daniel Watkins (AUS) bring together raw old-time power, bluegrass dexterity and rare gems from the American folk song tradition. This trio draws on a strong grounding in old-time and bluegrass music, extending their music to new compositions with far wider influences. Eudlo Hall is in for a fantastic afternoon on February 16, not to be missed! ohpep.com, http://georgejackson.com.au/georgeandrew-daniel/ Tickets will be $15.00 / $10.00 and $5.00 for under 12s.

The Mooloolah Mob – are still walking and would love you to join us. This group has now been walking for about nine years and for some of us that’s well over 5000km covered.

Walking is each Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6.30am for about an hour. We meet at Martin Rungert Park, right in the centre of town, and walk a variety of routes about the local area. It’s a great way to start the day and to meet new friends. This is a Heart Foundation group activity.

You don’t have to walk every day, or for the whole hour – just do as much as you feel you can. Please consider joining our group to enjoy the social aspect of belonging to a friendly group as well as the health benefits of regular walking.

Hope to see you soon. For more details phone Helen on 5494 7496. www.gcnews.com.au

DICKSON ROAD WE ARE MARKET HERE WILLIAM BERRY DV MORAYFIELD SHOPPING CENTRE

DICKSON RD

Specials available Wednesday 22nd to Sunday 26th or until sold out

OPEN 77DAYS OPEN DAYS

By Lea Parkes Construction of the long awaited Coochin Twins residential estate has now commenced, with work on the road into the estate.

The estate is located off Old Gympie Road, Beerwah approximately 200 metres south of the Peachester Road intersection, and is nestled between Coochin Creek and the Glasshouse Mountains National Park.

The estate will comprise fully serviced township residential lots with town water, sewer, underground power and an abundance of open space and parkland.

The project is being marketed by John King of Beerwah First National Real Estate, and is also listed with all local agents.

John advised that enquiry has been solid over the Christmas period with several contracts either in place or in negotiation.

He said the complete project will see 97 lots developed, however the first release will comprise 16 flat lots, ranging from 650 sq metres to 908 sq metres.

“There are great introductory prices for early birds from under $190,000,” said John.

“And the flat lots mean that houses can be built on standard foundations without expensive earthworks.”

An exciting feature of the estate will be the abundance of open space both within the estate and on adjoining lands. The primary school is virtually on the doorstep and other schools and facilities are nearby.

A pathway will be constructed following Coochin Creek to link with the Roberts Road parklands which will provide good access to the school and sporting precinct and the township.

The pathway will also provide an excellent recreation and exercise opportunity for residents. Works on the pathway have also commenced.

The estate road will ultimately link to the existing Carnarvon Drive with the development of future stages and will provide a much improved access to the residents of the existing Carnarvon Drive estate.

The early bird incentive package has generated considerable interest and titles are expected on the first lots about mid-year.

Chris and Anthony Grieve of local contractor CA Earthmoving are undertaking the current works.

The project is being developed by a local syndicate who have set a high standard for this unique development site.

After lengthy delays in the planning and approval process, they are pleased that work has finally started and excited about the site’s natural attributes.

They have a commitment to its environmental enhancement.

“There are wide streets, major revegetation areas, and even a fauna corridor linking the national park to the bushland around the creek. We are aiming for a rural look and feel,” John said.

Red tape cuts for small business

The Federal Government has taken a major step to reduce red tape for employers by streamlining superannuation payments.

Member for Fisher Mal Brough said the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will take over the running of the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House from April.

The Clearing House is a free online service that helps small businesses with 19 or fewer employees (an employee is defined as an individual who is employed on a full-time, part-time or casual basis) pay superannuation contributions in one transaction to a single location thus reducing red tape and compliance costs.

“Currently most businesses have had to do all the paperwork themselves as well as distribute money to the various super funds – the clearing house will now do all this for them,” Mr Brough said.

“The tax office will be responsible for distributing contributions to individual accounts. There are no changes for employers already using the clearing house as it is a backroom change from the Department to the ATO. Those employers not using the clearing house will only need to contact the department to register.”

Re: Ewen Maddock Walking Trail To Peter Dennis A/Chief Executive Officer

I have ridden that trail for the past 15 years and I have seen that trail rough and easy. The section you are talking about is narrow and winding, that’s fine. You travel about 5 to 8km an hour by bike, any person coming the other way, you can stop in your track, that’s why you have brakes, eyes and common sense.

May I remind you it’s more unpredictable to bike ride along Mooloolaba beach front than Ewen Maddock walking trail with many people going in various directions and under five kids.

Does that mean we have to stop people from walking along the beach front, due to the bikes?

When does common sense kick in instead of the law / safety? How far do you wish to take this?

Thanks

On Saturday, January 11, I had the misfortune of falling near Crazy Clarks in Beerwah. I would like to thank everyone who came to my rescue, especially the lady from Crazy Clarks. Also to the ambulance man who called on me on Sunday just to see that I was still ok. Thank you all.

Re: scary maths (cont..)

Des Buchhorn (GCNews January 15) seemingly has missed my ‘courageous’ point. The ppm of CO2 may be changing but the concentration expressed as a percentage (the ratio of CO2 to other components in the atmosphere) seemingly has not - implying that the level of other components of the atmosphere must be changing to maintain this equilibrium - which should open up another line of debate!

Des believes that last September’s average was higher than any previous month in Australia’s climate history.

A courageous claim as this continent appears to have been around for a few million years now but our substantiated records are of a somewhat shorter time span. We may well have had the hottest year since 1910 but, so what?

The climate cycles over a 200 to 300 year period and a single year is of little consequence.

This year, or the next, may well be the coldest in our history - who knows? We can all quote alleged ‘facts’ (myself included) to support one’s position.

JANUARY 22 2014

The ‘science’ that finds its way into the mainstream media (and some alternative media) constantly fails proper logical analysis and review.

Although it is often touted as ‘fact’, science is far from it - it is rife with assumptions and fudge factors.

Scientists are trying to find that elusive universal theory which explains all aspects of our physical (and non-physical) existence. It is most unlikely that it will be discovered in any of our lifetimes.

A book well worth reading which touches on the topic of science and its place in the explanations of our existence is ‘A Brief History of Time’ by Stephen Hawking - a book not as daunting as its title and author may suggest.

Re: Forgotten People, January 15

I just wish to clarify that I was talking about the elected Councillors and knowledge of what they are doing for us on the ‘Sunshine Coast’.

I believe your Independent Newspaper is far more generous to our all members of State, Federal and Local Council and unbiased in that reporting.

This is the only newspaper that makes an effort to inform us locally of so much information.

I was making comments about the general media outlets and of course those that do work here and live somewhere else don't have access to any knowledge of what all Councillors are doing.

Keep up the good work please!

Side by side by side

May I reiterate what Michelle has expressed in 'You Said It' January 15 edition.

Early every Saturday morning, I drive from Glenview to King Street, Buderim at about 5.45am.

I am constantly on the lookout for bicyclists and inevitably come across them on Dixon Road heading up the hill, or down again, side by side by side by side by side. Four, sometimes three, and many times two abreast. They've made their noises and asked that we as motorists respect their rightful path, however, it is with this returned respect that we as motorists ask them to adhere to the cyclists rules of the road also.

They are: Bicyclists, must obey all general road rules.

Be aware of other road users and keep a distance of about one metre between you and other vehicles.

If you need to cross a continuous white edge line along the shoulder, you must give way to vehicles first.

Shoulder check regularly to know what other traffic is doing.

Be predictable: ride in a straight line and use hand signals to let other road users where you are going.

Builders: New homes, renovations, additions 4 Reasons why Renovation Perfection are leading builders: 1. You are offered freedom & flexibility with build choices 2. Fixed price building contracts - no extra hidden costs 3. Total building project management - no stress for you 4. Free initial building quote until Christmas QBSA: 1205545

HIA: 593993

Cyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as all other road users but they must adhere to them.

On numerous occasions I have been forced to slow down to 35kph in a 60kph zone complete with double lines which I am loathe to cross due to oncoming traffic. This is due to side by side by side by side cyclists who are oblivious to my approach because they're chatting! I toot softly to let them know I'm behind them and ... what do I get?

Oooooweee, well there's a plot for another story.

Who came first? The cart or the bicycle and no, I'm not talking penny farthings!

Re: Political fact and fiction

Col Walker wrote about the unfairness of the mainstream media (GCNews January 15). May I add that I don’t think media bias started just after the election in September last year.

For some years, a certain American who controls the large part of the newspapers and other media in Australia has been pressuring journalists to present his personal points of view. Often these are destructive of fair political process and very often destructive of the truth.

For myself, I welcome the broad range of opinions and lack of bias in the free newspapers such as the Glasshouse Country News. Free press in more ways than one. We even read the ads!

Resident Mooloolah Valley

Very disappointing

Recently we decided to venture out for lunch on a Monday. We are members of a club in the Glasshouse area but as they don’t serve lunch on Mondays we couldn’t go there.

So off we go to Beerwah RSL knowing they serve lunch every day. We arrived, signed in and my daughter and I were asked if we were members of the club and we both said no. We were then asked if we were members of other local clubs in the area, we said yes, and were asked if we could show our cards. We both didn't have them so we were refused entry and asked to leave.

Are we getting so out of touch in our small community that we are refused service because we simply forgot our card from another local club? Really Beerwah RSL. We went to the Beerwah Hotel for lunch and pokies and had a lovely time. We will never return.

Counselling

If you have been reading the papers and listening to the news lately you will have heard the disturbing facts that kids as young as four are being diagnosed with diabetes and put on medication. Child obesity is increasing and we as parents need to put a stop to this.

It starts with ‘no’ – while we all want to please our children and give in to their demands we are putting their lives at risk because we don’t want to say ‘no’.

Children learn from example – how much sugar, fat and processed food do you consume each day? If we look at the harsh reality it’s probably way too much.

We as parents need to start making changes to our own lives and the lives of our children.

This year why not look at your diet and start thinking about eating whole foods, clean foods

and reducing your sugar?

Education is the key and we have a great weekend coming up to help. We have put together a retreat to learn how to make healthy eating easy and affordable. Come in or give us a call to find out more about our Health Retreat.

Photography Corner with the Grafx Group - contributed by Chris Bell

Travelling light at the rock In the world of digital photography, the use of a tripod to prevent camera shake will ensure success on your travels. An enterprising German tourist set this easily managed tiny tripod on a fencepost to photograph the iconic Ayers Rock in Central Australia. As the sun descended, the ever-changing colours provided a dramatic backdrop and the perfect ending to a day observing nature at its best in this photographers’ paradise.

This photo was taken with a Panasonic Lumix, Focal length 6.1m, Exposure 1/250 at f/5.6.

By Kerry Gillam To me only fools did white water rafting but I figured it out, the only fool was me.

All it came down to was confidence, and this I have gained after some years with the Glasshouse Country Toastmasters Club.

So don’t only think that it’s only in an office environment where you gain confidence; it applies to every day of your life.

I had a ball and the next challenge on my list is jumping out of a plane.

Toastmaster’s starts back on January 23 so please come and see what you think.

We meet at the Church on the Rise, 68 Peachester Road, Beerwah every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month, starting at 9.00am to 11.30am.

CCTV to cut break-ins

I was dismayed to hear of another break-in in Beerwah about 4.45am on January 9 at Total Microsystems. Hard working people should not have to put up with this. They should also not have to go to the expense of installing bars in their windows to prevent further attacks.

Unfortunately, this is what the owners have been forced to do. This is why, during the election, I pledged to provide $150,000 funding for CCTV technology to help fight anti-social behaviour in Beerwah and Landsborough. We will be pushing the $150,000 through the upcoming budget process and will hope to have funding online in the 2014-15 financial year.

Government listens to your call for Blackspot Action

Well, the exact date has yet to be decided, but the good news is Malcolm Turnbull’s Parliamentary Secretary for Communications Paul Fletcher has agreed to visit early this year to discuss the Government’s $100 million regional mobile coverage program.

This follows excellent community support for our fair share of the program, especially from people around Glass House Mountains.

We’ve already had more than 100 people registering to attend the meetings. Also my office has been working with Telstra and local residents to gauge the extent of the problem and identify possible intermediate solutions.

But, while Mr Fletcher has agreed to hear your concerns first-hand, there are a number of electorates eligible for this funding. So there will be strong competition to determine which sites are funded. Inadequate mobile phone coverage is a significant concern for our hinterland communities. Expanding mobile phone coverage has clear benefits to public safety – as well as to the productive capacity of regional communities.

We’ll have details of the meeting time and place soon. Email cameron.outridge@aph.gov.au if you wish to register to attend.

Discussion Paper

Meanwhile, the Government has issued a discussion paper seeking feedback on how to improve mobile coverage in regional areas of Australia. The discussion paper is available from the Department of Communications’ website at http://www.communications.gov.au/mobile_ services/mobile_coverage_programme The closing date for submissions is 5.00pm, February 28.

Andrew Powell

State member for Caloundra P: 5491 2780

Welcome to the New Year everyone; I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your families.

It is great to be serving you once again as your local member for the Caloundra Electorate and if you have anything you would like to discuss please feel free to drop into my office, send me an email or give me a call. Over the Christmas break I was fortunate enough to be invited to many celebrations for our local schools and community groups. It never fails to amaze me how many talented and inspirational people we have living here in the local electorate. I hope it’s a great year for everyone.

Caloundra Electorate Community Awards

I am pleased to share with you that in March, I will be holding the second Caloundra Electorate Community Awards. The first awards last year were hugely successful and I think it is only fitting that we again recognise the success and achievements of the many selfless individuals and groups who live in our community.

Nominations will open next month but in the meantime I encourage you to think of some of the dedicated and outstanding people in the Caloundra electorate (that includes Mooloolah, Glenview, Landsborough and Beerwah) who could be nominated in the following categories: community volunteer of the year, community group of the year, business achiever of the year, sport achiever of the year, community event of the year, young achiever of the year and environmental contributor of the year.

Business Discount Scheme

Did you know if you have a Seniors Card, Seniors Business Discount Card or Carer Business Discount Card you can access some great savings on a wide variety of products and services across the Sunshine Coast? The State Government offers the Business Discount Scheme, one of the initiatives to help cut the cost of living for families. The best way to see what is on offer is to pick up a copy of the Business Discount Directory, which is available at a range of places including my office in Bulcock Street and the Caloundra and Beerwah libraries. Or you can search online at www.qld.gov.au/seniors/legalfinance-concessions/business-discount-directorypick-up-point. Discounts mostly range from 5% up to 25%. It assists you and supports our local businesses at the same time.

Nominations open for the Speaker’s Queensland Inspiring Women Awards

I am pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the Speaker’s Queensland Inspiring Women Awards. The awards are held to celebrate International Women’s Day and the theme of this year’s awards is ‘Women of Generosity’.

I’m sure we all know women who work tirelessly in our community and these awards are a great opportunity to publicly recognise and honour these inspirational women. A breakfast ceremony honouring the winners, chosen from all over Queensland, will be held in Parliament House on March 7. I would encourage everyone to take the time to recognise these women and nominate them. Nominations close on Friday, February 7.

I will then select one inspiring woman from the community nominations to join me at the awards breakfast. For nomination forms please email my office on glass.house@parliament.qld.gov.au or call my office on 5435 2013.

Child care centres celebrate New Year

Small education and care services throughout Queensland are welcoming in the New Year with legislative changes that reduce their red tape burden. The new Education and Care Services Act 2013 (ECS Act) came into effect on January 1 and is now making life easier for 63 services around Queensland. One of the most significant changes is that staff no longer have to submit extensive applications for licence renewal and instead will be visited by a government representative at least every three years to ensure standards are being maintained. I am pleased to see that these changes will not only reduce the regulatory burden for these services but will also improve the educational outcomes for the children.

Entries now open for Speaker’s Art Prize I would like to encourage some of our very talented Glass House artists to enter the Speaker’s Art Prize which has been commissioned by The Hon Fiona Simpson MP, the Speaker of the House, Queensland Parliament. The prize is open to all artists across Queensland and offers $9,000 for a painting, drawing or sketch of Queensland Parliament House. It would be wonderful to see the work of a Glass House artist represented alongside some of the great works which already reside in Parliament House. Artists interested in making a submission should go to www.flyingarts.org.au and follow the links to the Speaker’s Art Prize.

Expressions of interest close January 31.

Doorpost of the new year?

A couple of years ago, my family surprised me with a party for one special birthday. Sometimes God surprises us with his ingenuity. What did He do when He was about to bring the Israelites out of Egypt? Yes there were the plagues, the irritation of Pharaoh by Moses and his proclamations and pleas for release. But when it came time for the Israelites to leave their slavedom and re-emerge as their own nation, God started off their new time with the Passover. This was described as a part of their new year.

Exodus chapter 12 is an amazing illustration of how starting the new year with God can have spectacular results. Yes there was the salvation motif of the lamb blood around the door frame.

There was the distress of the Egyptians with their family losses. Most dramatic was the stealthy exodus of hundreds of thousands of families from Egypt without obstruction by their masters.

But even the escapees could only really leave unhindered if the blood was spread on their house doorway. So important to the new culture of the liberated people was this event that it became a landmark in their lives for hundreds of generations. But did the meaning change with time? Sometimes the celebrations we create

can lose their meaning over time. Birthdays, Christmas, Easter, Australia Day, and even Anzac Day can be celebrated for all the wrong reasons. This week, last year’s Year 12 students will probably find out which courses at university they have been accepted into. In just over a week school starts again with students being one year ahead of the last attendance. Families have shifted house because of job opportunities. Time does not stand still. We can have new beginnings in many aspects of our lives. As the ancient Israelites needed the blood on the door posts to be saved from their predicament, we too need salvation through the blood of the Son of God. His death and resurrection are events which could lose meaning for us. Let’s not have that happen in 2014.

Egg thief

At the Pricketts Place at Peachester they recently noticed this uninvited guest in their fowl yard.

The magnificent specimen is about 1.2 metres long nose to tail. He (or she) has been thriving on a regular supply of eggs and has been dining so often that the fowls tend to take no notice. Even Reginald the Randy Red Rooster ignores him.

Go Green Rainforest Nursery Plant of the Week Ivory Curl Flower Buckinghamia celsissima

In flower now all over the Glasshouse region is the magnificent Ivory Curl Flower. This tree explodes with blossom throughout summer and provides a valuable nectar source for many insects and birds. This small tree originates from the rainforests of North Queensland from Paluma to Cooktown.

This is a very hardy, fast growing tree that will grow to approximately 5 to 8m and doesn’t mind being heavily pruned.

As a feature tree or in a mixed rainforest planting you can’t go too far past the Ivory Curl Flower when it comes to hardiness and beauty.

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.

If you own a rural property on the Sunshine Coast and would like to protect and enhance the biodiversity of your land and of the region, why not consider applying for a Landholder Environment Grant?

Landholder Environment Grants have a three stage application process with all interested applicants required to first submit an Expression of Interest form by 5.00pm February 24. A council officer will then arrange to visit your property to discuss the project and funding amounts, with the final stage of the process being an online application.

Holder of Community Programs and Environment Portfolios, Councillor Jenny McKay said the Landholder Environment Grants enabled council to work together with the community to help the environment.

“These grants allow a partnership approach to the delivery of projects that protect our region’s natural assets, preserve the biodiversity of the region and promote ecologically sustainable management of our environment,” said Cr McKay. “Funded by the Environment Levy, the Landholder Environment Grants assisted 182 landholders last year to the value of $480,112.

“Projects that are eligible for funding may include fencing to restrict stock access to vegetation and waterways, revegetation to restore degraded areas or establish vegetation corridors and control of environmental weeds to rehabilitate native vegetation areas.

“Priority will be given to projects with high ecological value, creating balance between people and the environment.”

While expressions of interest for the Landholder Environment Grant must be submitted by 5.00pm, February 24, applications will not be required until after a council officer has visited your property. Applications will be due before April 23.

To find out if your project is eligible, contact a grants officer on 5475 7272, email grants@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au or visit www.sunshinecoast.qld. gov.au/grants. Environmental Grants for not-for-profit community groups are also currently available under council’s Community Grants Program. Further information is available on council’s website.

Local lime caviar makes its mark

Continued from page 8 “You treat them like any other citrus. You have to make sure that they have good drainage, you fertilise them regularly, keep the weeds away from their shallow roots, and watch out for the normal types of citrus pests,” said Tracy.

If you haven’t used finger limes in your culinary endeavours, Tracy says that they are a versatile fruit that can be used to substitute for limes in most situations.

“The small citrus pearls – also called lime caviar – have a flavour which is similar to that of a lemon-lime-grapefruit combo.

“The fruit juice is acidic and similar to that of a lime, and the fruit makes excellent marmalade, chutney, jams, savoury sauces and pickles. The finger lime peel can be dried and used as a flavouring spice.

“They can be used to garnish Asian salads and seafood, added to desserts, made into spreads like lemon butter, put into curries, or sliced and squeezed into drinks.

“In a sparkling drink, the tiny ‘jewels’ float up and down with the bubbles – so they are perfect in champagne.

“The fruits can also be frozen without destroying their flavour or texture on thawing, meaning that you can use them all year round.”

Their website (www.coonowrinfingerlimes.com) has everything you need to know about finger limes as well as Tracy’s tried and tested recipes – and from the tasting done at her farm, I can attest that finger limes are just fantastic.

The doctors at the Landsborough and Mooloolah Medical Centres have been providing an after hours service for their patients for the past twenty- nine years but it has now been decided to adopt the Federal Government’s initiative of the After Hours GP Helpline which has been established since 2011.

When you, as a patient, call the service, your call is answered by a registered nurse who triages your condition. If the nurse determines that you could benefit from speaking to a GP, you will be transferred to a helpline GP. The GP will talk to you, assess your condition, and provide medical advice.

Upon advice from the nurse and or GP, you may be able to manage your condition at home, or until you can see your usual GP during normal business hours.

Where self-management is not possible and your condition cannot wait until the next day for treatment, you will be directed to Family Care Medical Services who are now our after hours medical services.

Submitted by Hugh Jones, Beerwah

Week beginning 22/01/14

CAPRICORN December 23 – January 19 Communication is not your strong point this week, particularly when it comes to dealing with the manager and other people who want to draw you out of your shell. Perhaps it would be a good idea to better yourself by talking one on one this week rather than sharing your thoughts in a group now.

AQUARIUS January 20 – February 19 A good week for you to be seen as an early bird, so rise and shine even if it is a pre-dawn connection. Afternoons offer stability but it is more on the business not personal front. Your natural easy charm and congeniality continues from day to day, setting you aglow in the eyes of others.

PISCES February 20 – March 20 It looks as though you are about to have a quiet chat with a friend and say what is on your mind. A secret or confidential information might be shared. Some friends are generous with their advice, but you should only heed that which makes sense to you. Existing ties and relationships are greatly improved.

ARIES March 21 – April 20 This week will see some late night agitations. Do not let difficult budget news get you down. Find your way through with a good fiscal plan and don’t lend money to any friends, not at this time anyway. Venus and Mars set off relationship problems which are probably exaggerated by the home vs. work needs.

TAURUS April 21 – May 21 The Moon is providing an opportunity to get your love life in order. There is much satisfaction to be gained in playing the role of teacher to guiding youngsters. This is a week to be careful of your health by eating and drinking temperately. On the job, relations with people may be strained. Avoid breaking rules.

GEMINI May 22 – June 21 This week might be enhanced by Mercury, your ruler, giving you the eye on your future, perhaps with travel.

Maybe there are opportunities for you to exchange news with friends overseas that open new doors. Take time to create a special romantic moment with someone you love. Start a personal journal now.

CANCER June 22 – July 22 A good chance to make your mark in the world by showing clever mental tricks this week. There may be upsetting squabbles in love or money issues but that will improve by month’s end.

Spend time this weekend on a hobby or creative interest. A lively flow of internet communication facilitates spending.

LEO July 23 – August 22 There is a Virgo Moon early in the week which gives you special privileges by getting up early and handling routine banking matters and making purchases from your ‘must do it’ list. Not much chance in shining with your usual charm in daytime conversations until the evening hours. Late night energy.

VIRGO August 23 – September 22 If you are feeling overwhelmed from the holidays, try not to sit too long on your lounge chair, as it is not the way to return to a healthy, streamlined you.

The stars are shining on prime days this week to optimise plans for bettering your work and health regimes. Work thoughts are sharp and snappy.

LIBRA September 23 – October 22 The Moon in your sign this week makes you want to seek clever ways to express yourself. More subtle charm soothes yourself and others. A late night burst of energy needs a productive outlet which may urge you to clean the house of an evening. Your intuition or gut feelings are sharp at this time.

SCORPIO October 23 – November 22 There is a good sharp interactive buzz to home communications which show creative and inventive opinions.

These all result from a pleasant aspect between Mercury and Uranus, although Saturn brings demanding influence to have you put your shoulder to the wheel and get your hands dirty once again.

SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 With the Moon moving through the sign of Virgo there is pressure in your chart to look to the business scene and perhaps approach a bank manager to get some financial details sorted. Then the Moon enters Libra and at last your social world improves. This aspect keeps you in active, friendly territory.

Jack, 92, and Gill, 89, are all excited about their decision to get married. They go for a stroll to discuss the wedding, and on the way they pass a chemist shop and Jack suggests they go in.

Jack addresses the man behind the counter: "Are you the owner?" The pharmacist answers, "yes."

Jack: "We're about to get married. Do you sell heart medication?" Pharmacist: "Of course we do." Jack: "How about medicine for circulation?"

Pharmacist: "All kinds." Jack: "Medicine for rheumatism?" Pharmacist: "Definitely." Jack: "How about suppositories?" Pharmacist: "Yes."
