Hi Everyone...

Last week was another busy week, with Brownie and I heading to the Caloundra Events Centre after work on Monday and Wednesday nights to photograph and hopefully capture the excitement of the graduating students from Beerwah and Maleny State High Schools arriving for their formals.

There is a calmness at around 5pm when the first students start to arrive and then the level of excitement in the group starts to bubble away until it reaches fever pitch as more and more of the glamorous young things and their support crews start arriving!

Having now been doing this job for 14 years – and knowing so many local business owners and community members – I often recognise quite a lot of the parents and it is great to see the pride and, no doubt, sense of achievement on their faces as they stand by and watch the spectacle.

I reckon if I could bottle the feeling of excitement and the sense of anticipation at these events I would make my fortune!

It is strange that when I ask these virtually unrecognisable students their names for the captions, I am reminded of the many other times that they have appeared in this paper over the years and it is nice knowing that we have been part of following their journey throughout the whole school life.

For Professional Caring Service

Disgust at flying fox slaughter In what can only be described as an appalling act, a large number of protected flying foxes were illegally shot at Conondale recently.

Attending the gruesome scene, well known local Maleny wildlife carer Sammy Ringer was shocked and saddened by what she found after a neighbour reported gunshots in part of a forest where the grey-headed flying foxes had established what is known as a ‘maternity camp’ for pregnant females and new mothers.

With the early body count reaching around 60, this was a serious impact on the colony, especially seeing that many of the adults had young dependent on them for their survival. An unknown number of these juveniles are also likely to have subsequently died of starvation.

“It broke my heart”, said Sammy, who is a member of Bat Conservation and Rescue Queensland, when she realised the extent of the bloodshed.

“We did our best to find as many 'orphans' as we could but, as we moved into the colony, the bats flew up and around, thus we couldn't be sure which pups were orphans and which were not.

“We were only able to save two – both are now in care. All of the (remaining) orphans left will have died by now.

“Because we were not able to get through the dense scrub to search the entire camp area, the figure of 50-60 bats shot may be low. A neighbour texted me to say the wind had changed and the stench of bodies was unbearable.”

Orphan flying fox 'Elli' is now out of intensive care Grey-headed flying foxes are a protected species under the Nature Conservation Act 1992.

The Department of Environment and Heritage Protection is working with RSPCA Queensland to investigate the incident.

A Department of Environment and Heritage Protection spokesperson said that flying foxes are vital to the health of our forests, as they pollinate several native hardwood species.

“It is an offence under the Nature Conservation Act to take any type of flying fox without authority and the maximum penalty for taking 10 or more grey-headed flying foxes is $126,150 or one year imprisonment,” the spokesperson said.

If members of the public witness or suspect a wildlife offence, the Department asks that they notify them by calling 1300 130 372 or by completing a wildlife complaint form, which can be found at www.ehp.qld.gov.au/contactus/.

Alternatively, locals can call Wildlife Rescue Sunshine Coast on 0448 148 013 or 0411 635 136.

For more information about the possible health risks posed by bats and flying foxes in Queensland, members of the public should contact Queensland Health on 13 HEALTH.

Dentures that Make You Smile

When it was time to remodel our kitchen, we decided to get three quotes and Kev’s visit was the last one. Kev listened to us, checked out the sort of design we had in mind and made suggestions – he wasn’t at all pushy.

After comparing what was offered we both felt very comfortable choosing him. We wanted to have a special acrylic splashback made with images of our rescued koalas and Kev being the nice man that he is was keen to tailor the kitchen and our colours around this whilst accommodating our limited budget. Kev custom planned our cupboards to be used with no bending and we love showing off our new kitchen to all who visit.

LNP Member for Glass House Andrew Powell recently announced that an LNP Government would invest $600,000 for two very important projects at Glass House Mountains State School.

The projects include replacing the existing toilet block and erecting a much needed storage shed to house stage equipment and other large items.

Mr Powell said he has been contacted many times by staff and parents concerned about the asbestos hazard in their aged toilet block and is pleased that these projects will ensure that our children are being educated in the safest possible environment.

“I have been unsuccessful in convincing the Labor minister that these projects are a priority, however an LNP Government will be committed to providing the very best facilities for our children in the safest environments possible, which all lead to a better education,” he said.

Andrew Powell with the LNP Shadow Minister for Education, Tracy Davis “These projects at Glass House Mountains State School are all part of our plan to Build a Better Queensland by building a better Glass House.

“I made a very clear commitment to the Glass House Mountains school community that I would fight for these projects and I am delighted that the LNP will deliver,” Mr Powell said.

Locals remember

Glasshouse Country RSL hosted a moving Remembrance Day Service at the Visitor Information Centre Cenotaph on November 11.

Sub-branch President Peter Hyde said: "We had a great crowd of 120 plus who turned out for the service, which was supported by Army Cadets from 128 ACU Yandina who mounted the Catafalque Party.

"A number of wreaths were laid including one by local Ex-Servicewomen Wendy Siebrecht and Colleen Hare (pictured) in memory of Ex-Servicewomen," Peter said.

McArdle commits $500,000 for local sports clubs

State Member for Caloundra Mark McArdle has announced that an elected LNP Government will support Caloundra’s Hinterland sporting community by delivering one-off grants of $300,000 to Mooloolah Soccer Club and $200,000 to Beerwah’s Bulldogs Rugby League Club.

Mr McArdle said that sport is immensely important to the Sunshine Coast and these upgrades to local fields and clubs will have a profound positive impact on the community.

“Our sporting teams unite us, get us out of the house and contribute to an overall healthier lifestyle across many generations,” Mr McArdle said.

Mooloolah Soccer Club President Gus Gillespie said that the funding would help create a safer and more family friendly environment.

“This grant would be fantastic for our club as it would enable us to build facilities which we desperately need,” Mr Gillespie said.

“Currently we have no toilet block at the clubhouse, no showers, no change rooms as well as no lighting at the clubhouse for the women who play softball here in the evenings.”

Beerwah’s Bulldog Rugby League President Lee Robertson said that a grant would be vital in helping them meet the needs of their growing club as well as the growing community.

“It has been our long term plan to improve the facilities, including adding a second level to the clubhouse to accommodate future growth,” Mr Robertson said.

$4 million to fix dangerous Beerwah intersection

The Palaszczuk Government is committing $4 million to fix the notorious intersection at Old Gympie Road and Peachester Road, Beerwah.

Labor candidate for Glass House Brent Hampstead has acted on the concerns of local residents and parents, successfully lobbying Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey for the vital funds to install traffic lights, as well as other works.

“This is the most dangerous intersection Minister for Main Roads, Mark in the Glass House electorate,” Mr Bailey with Labor candidates Hampstead said.

Brent Hampstead and Jason “The Beerwah Primary School is right Hunt on the corner, and backed up traffic has become a safety nightmare for parents at pick-up and drop-off times.

“It’s a dangerous mix for mums and dads and their kids, as well as other local commuters having to brave the intersection at peak times.

“Traffic queues back up in all four directions at times, including trucks and caravans.

“Labor just gets on with the job, which is why we’ve stumped up the funds and will fix this intersection in the next term of government.”

Labor candidate for Caloundra Jason Hunt has also been fighting for the project, stressing the need for flood mitigation.

“The road floods in heavy rain, cutting traffic in both directions and endangering lives. It’s part of the tourist route from Kilcoy to Beerwah, so it’s a vital link for the local economy,” he said.

As well as drainage works, Labor will install traffic lights and slip lanes as part of the upgrade.

Labor funds solar energy for Sunshine Coast schools A re-elected Palaszczuk Government will invest in 57 schools on the Sunshine Coast, as part of a $97 million initiative to install solar on more than 800 of the state’s 1,239 schools.

The roll-out of the landmark solar energy program over the next three years will save $10.2 million a year on energy costs across the state and reduce the carbon footprint of our schools.

Education Minister Kate Jones said that Labor will invest $40 million on the supply and installation of solar systems and a further $57 million towards other energy efficiency measures.

“The Clean Energy Future for Queensland Schools initiative will also support up to 300 jobs through its rollout,” Ms Jones said.

The announcement would save local schools thousands of dollars every year, according to Labor candidate for Caloundra Jason Hunt, who is proud of the commitment to invest in 57

“Growing local jobs and investing in education are two of my local priorities and this investment delivers on both.

Well known local family the Grigors have recently become the new owners of the Glass House Mountains IGA. Many readers will know Ashley and Casandra Grigor, along with their three daughters Felicity, Kirsten, and Samantha, as the current owners of the Landsborough IGA. Ashley’s great-great grandparents were William and Mary Grigor, the original owners of Bankfoot House – the oldest surviving building in the Glass House Mountains.

When Ashley and his family say they are proud locals this certainly rings true as his family moved to Glass House Mountains 149 years ago!

Both Ashley and Casandra grew up locally, Ashley in Peachester and Casandra in Maleny, and they brought up their three girls in Wamuran.

They started their IGA journey back in 2007 when they purchased Wondai IGA. They will be now operate both the IGA in Landsborough and Glass House Mountains.

As lifetime residents of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Ashley and Casandra are completely committed to supporting local farmers and suppliers.

Wherever possible they seek to provide fresh, local products and they look forward to being able to make the same upgrades to the Glass House Mountains store that they have made to their Landsborough business.

Customers at Glass House Mountains can look forward to an exciting refurbishment of the fresh produce sections and an overhaul of the deli cabinet to entice customers and best display their range of products.

In today’s society it is a unique drawcard when customers can say they “know their local retailer” and now they Glass House Mountains IGA customers will be able to enjoy what the Landsborough IGA customers have – hands-on local owners.

“It is our privilege to know our customers and with our new store, just like the Landsborough IGA, our priority is to ensure locals enjoy a friendly, happy and enjoyable shopping experience – come on in and say hello,” says Ashley.

Community News Win a trolley full of Christmas!

Students’ art portrays ‘The Future of Peace’ Jaelee Fox, a Year 5 student at the Ananda Marga River School Maleny, has taken the first step to becoming an internationally recognised artist by winning the local Lions International Peace Poster Competition, sponsored by the Lions Club of Maleny Blackall Range.

The theme for the 2017 contest was ‘The Future of Peace’ – bringing peace to the world through one child at a time.

Two students, Taliyah (Tilly) Wright (who was not able to be present at the judging) and Lillian Brunkhorst, were given an Honourable Mention Certificate while the winning entrant Jaelee was presented with a $50 voucher for Rosetta Books.

When approached about the possibility of students entering the contest, Principal Ann Donoghoe and art teacher Alieta Belle enthusiastically took up the challenge, with 13 students submitting their art work for judging.

Three prominent local artists, Kaye Leach, Gary Myers and John Morrison, had the difficult task of choosing the winning entry from so many creative pieces of art.

The Maleny Street Christmas Carnival raffle is a huge one this year – so big it needs to be pulled around in a garden trolley. One lucky person will take home the whole prize for just a $2 investment (ticket) to be the ultimate winner!

The trolley full of Christmas has been put together through the generosity of 20 local businesses and the funds raised from this year’s raffle will be donated to the Maleny Rural Fire Brigade for their ongoing work for our community.

Tickets are available in stores across Maleny and you’ll even see the Street Carnival’s raffle team (including rein-hounds) in Maple Street in the coming weeks, and of course you will also be able to buy tickets on the night of the carnival, Friday December 8, when the prize will be drawn.

President of Maleny Commerce Spencer Shaw said: "Please continue to shop local and support these local businesses who have donated prizes for the raffle: Art on Cairncross, Forest Heart Eco-nursery, Maleny Dairies, Maleny Food Co, Maleny Hotel, Maleny IGA, Maleny Jewellers, Maleny Men, Maleny Optical, Maleny Town and Country, Monica’s Café, Pomodoras on Obi, Purple Palate, Red Faery Hair & Beauty, Rosetta Books, Sarah’s Unplugged Café, Shotgun Café, Simply Stylish, and Spicers Tamarind Retreat.

A LITTLE HERITAGE TOWN WITH FRIENDLY LOCALS Proudly supporting local community groups

Botanic Gardens, has been declared the winner of Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace’s 2017 Christmas card competition.

Mr Wallace said that there were 50 separate entries received from Alexandra Headland, Dicky Beach and Mooloolaba, the Glass House Mountains, Maleny and Kawana, featuring mountains and beaches along with stunning pictures of wildlife such as birds and frogs.

Joining Mrs Vonhoff at the location where her photograph was taken, Mr Wallace said: “My warm congratulations to Jacky on winning our Photos of Fisher competition.”

The winning image will be featured as the front cover of Mr Wallace’s Christmas card, which is widely distributed in Fisher, and will be printed on canvas and hung in Parliament House in Canberra.

Fixed four year term... or is it?

By Greg Brown In 2015, Queensland Parliament determined that we would have fixed term four year parliaments... but just not straight away.

It’s all because when they changed the legislation that sets the terms, they said that it would start after the 55th Parliament (the one we’ve just had).

The four year term provisions would then commence with the 56th Parliament (the one we’re about to choose)... except that, as part of the process, this election was deemed as an “extraordinary general election.”

This sets the term at three calendar years and also that if the election was held at any time

in 2017 (which it is), then the set polling day would be Saturday October 31, 2020 (mark that in your diary).

If the election was held next year (before the May 5, 2018 cutoff), then the set polling date would have been Saturday October 30, 2021.

The upshot of this is that you need to choose carefully and make your vote count... as you won’t have another chance to make a change to your local State Member or the government for three years (less a couple of weeks).

Unless the State Governor dissolves Parliament for some extraordinary reason... like it can’t function properly. But what are the chances of that happening?

Fun for all ages and abilities with lawn bowls Do you want to play a sport that caters for all ages, abilities and fitness levels?

Do you want to have loads of fun in a social setting, meet others and be part of an inclusive team environment?

Then you may want to have a go at lawn bowls.

Suitable for those aged 10 to 110, this is a sport that is enjoyed by millions of people around the world.

A high level of fitness is not required and people with limited physical ability can also participate in this sport which can improve coordination and fitness and be whole lot of fun.

Club Glass House, located at 10 Coonowrin Road, Glass House Mountains will be hosting a free ‘Come and Try Day’ this Sunday, November 26, from 10am to 12.30pm and everyone is welcome.

With a free sausage sizzle, the day will be great fun for the whole family. The club will also be open, serving cold drinks and lunch and holding raffles at 1pm for those interested.

Operating continuously for over 60 years, the Glasshouse Country Bowls Club was founded in 1954 and moved to its current location in 1959.

Currently the bowls club has 30 lady and 71 male playing members including three juniors, with a

hope to get more juniors involved in the future.

Plans are also underway to get the local schools more involved.

In 2000, the bowls club became a section of a community club called Club Glass House Inc which manages the maintenance of the premises and facilities for all members to enjoy.

The social side of the Bowls Club is always very popular and involves two lots of eight-week bowling tournaments held on Wednesday nights during February and March, and again in October to November. These nights allow working people and business groups the opportunity to socialize and enjoy competing in a fun weekly environment.

On the competitive side, the bowls club enters individuals and teams in representative competitions at district level. These include District Pennant Competitions and District Championships.

Winners in these competitions advance to a higher level and teams are also entered into the Premier 7s and Hinterland Local league which run for about 10 weeks at the beginning of each year.

The Club Championships are played throughout the year, plus social games each Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoons and sometimes on the weekends.

OU ?

Y E HAV IT YET D TRIE

If the ‘Come and Try Day’ has sparked your interest, come along any Sunday from 10.30am to 12 noon and receive free coaching.

If you would then like to consider becoming a playing member of Glasshouse Country Bowls Club, fees are currently $82 for adults and $42 for juniors (under 18).

Lawn bowls is a great way to meet new people and is no longer just for the old – with many young people taking up the sport each year.

See you on Sunday November 26!

By Sonia Clark In the lead up to Christmas it is always lovely to hear stories about locals exemplifying the spirit of Christmas by giving to others.

Maleny resident Jenny Allen recently decided to have her considerable tresses cut off and donated to the Variety Children’s Charity.

Wanting to gift her hair to a charity she was confident would be reliable, she was happy to donate her hair certain it would assist a child who had lost their own hair undergoing Jenny gets her hair cut chemotherapy.

“One of my greatest talents is growing hair. A gift I can fortunately share, with much patience.

Jenny has been growing her hair for the last six years and, when it became long enough to reach the 35cm required to help make a wig for a child, she enlisted her local hairdresser to cut it back.

Before getting her hair cut, Jenny found that she was able to put her hair to good use. On a recent trek in the Himalayas in Bhutan she was able to wrap her hair around her to provide additional warmth!

“I was also able to camouflage myself amongst the hirsute yaks. However, I get it easier than the yaks – when their owners want to harvest their hair for clothes or to make a tent, they are known to sneak up on them while they sleep at night, roll a chunk of it on a long rod and then yank!”

Luckily Jenny’s hairdresser at Dot and Birdie in Maleny was a tad more gentle.

“I am happy my hair can continue its journey and hopefully help support someone under great stress,” Jenny said.

If you would also like to donate your hair, visit www.variety.org.au for more details.

Over the past 13 years, working together with the community we’ve had many wins for Caloundra and the Hinterland community but there is still much more work to be done. This Labor Government continues to ignore the needs of the Sunshine Coast, therefore under an LNP Government I am committed to delivering real solutions for Caloundra.

In the area of roads and transport we will commit $300m to duplicate the rail line from Beerburrum to Nambour. The Landsborough Rail Overpass will go back to the drawing board, but this time our community will have real consultation before any proposal will be finalised. For those commuting to Caloundra, for work or personal reasons, traffic congestion will be reduced with

the help of $15m upgrade to the Caloundra Road/ Nicklin Way roundabout.

In support of the community sector, Andrew Powell MP and I announced that an LNP Government would secure a 75 year lease for the Mooloolah Valley Community Centre so they can expand their services and continue to assist local residents. Additionally, I am committed to providing one-off grants of $50k for Beerwah QCWA, $45k for CCSA Hall in Caloundra, $35k for Sunshine Coast First Aid Volunteers to purchase a support vehicle and $25K for Night Eyes Water and Landcare Inc to continue their important work keeping our Pumicestone Passage clean.

Caloundra City Private School, Unity College and the new Baringa State School will each have

installed 40km/h flashing lights on the road outside the school at a cost of $35k per school.

They will provide notice of the proximity of a school and help to protect school children.

Our lifestyle in Caloundra is deeply entwined with our beaches and waterways. We need to ensure these are safe. Met Caloundra, Dicky Beach and Ithaca Caloundra Surf Lifesaving Clubs will each receive $20k to purchase Inflatable Rescue Boats for this purpose The Sunshine Coast is developing into a destination for sporting events, though it is the role that sport plays in our own community that underpins the decision to direct a number of one-off grants to our local clubs to support major upgrades to their facilities. In the Hinterland, Mooloolah Soccer Club will receive $300k and Beerwah Rugby League Club will receive $200k.

Additionally, $630k will go to Caloundra Aussie Rules Football Club, $200k to Caloundra Rugby Union Club and $100k to Caloundra Cricket Club.

I’m a local having lived in the electorate for the past 44 years and I love the place. I went to school here. After serving five years in the Australian Army and then gaining my teaching qualifications, I took up a position as a Custodial Officer at Woodford Correctional Centre, my current job.

Over the last 12 months I’ve spoken to hundreds of locals. I have knocked on doors in Beerwah and Landsborough. That hard work and effort was most worthwhile as I listened to what locals want.

More local jobs – now that was a priority.

Improved and integrated services are important.

Upgraded road and rail services were a constant issue. Our community’s list of needs and priorities is long – yet nothing has been done for too long.

‘Advertisement’

Voters expect their MPs to do a much better job for them. The old ways aren’t working here.

This election gives us the opportunity to choose how we build a better future. If elected I will be hard working community representative.

You have a real choice now – to elect a local with a vision for the future and someone who has the energy the community demands.

We can elect to work with a Palaszczuk Government that understands the need to invest in our future; and deliver: • more nurses and midwives and further reduce waiting lists for public hospitals; • new legislation to ensure sub-contractors get paid; • more teachers in our schools – an investment in our children’s future; and

But at its most basic this election is about trust.

You can trust me to work for the community and not myself – that is what locals want from their elected representatives.

I will fight for better schools and health services and more skilled jobs. I will deliver the effort that has been lacking for too long.

The choice is real and now. You can change your future by voting for real leadership rather than a local member who only appears at election time.

We live in a great place... let’s vote to make it better.

I urge you to support Jason.

State Election 2017 Marcus Finch, The Greens Candidate for Caloundra Phone – 3357 8458

Website – greens.org.au/candidates/qld/ Caloundra Email – caloundra@qld.greens.org.au

All the Sunny Coast electorates have been, and are, incredibly safe LNP electorates. It has been thus for decades. Recent analysis of both State and Federal Government spend per capita has our electorates very close to the bottom of the list.

This is a result of our safe seat status, and the unwinnable label we receive from the ALP. If we want the floodgates to open, to receive our fair share of funding, we need to take the safe seat status away. We need the LNP not to take us for granted, we need to make the ALP believe that this electorate, our electorate, is “in play”.

The Caloundra and Sunny Coast communities are suffering a lack of transport infrastructure. We have been promised the duplication of the heavy

rail and light rail connectivity to the beaches for 35 years. It's like waiting for Godot.

Unless we can shake things up here it will never come. Again, good research indicates that an efficient, cheap, public transport system is an essential enabler. It leads people out of poverty traps, allows people the ability to connect, to find work, to create jobs, to interact, to socialise and recreate.

Why wouldn't a government want to do that?

Why would any vaguely competent government ignore this obviously good idea, to give a billion dollars to a Cayman Islands based coal company?

I am a realist, I passionately believe in evidenced based policy. So another area of policy angst

for me is energy, in particular the lies and misdirection played out on our media by major parties every day.

The fact is that solar/wind wholesale energy prices have dropped like the proverbial stone.

The latest results in energy auctions all over the planet, have bid/contract prices at $30/MWh. Yes, this is less than 25% of the cheapest black coal electricity generation price, 25%! Add one of the various storage techniques and it goes out on the network at 50% of our best prices here. Yes, your bill, chopped in half.

The truth is, I am not going to win this seat, a good result for the Greens here is 10 to 12%. So our first preferences will expire. I implore you, no matter who you normally vote for, to shake things up, put the Greens first and shock your party into policies that favour people, not huge, “tax advantaged” multinationals.

I found in One Nation, a set of values that underpinned my belief in what Australia and Queensland is all about... “A fair go for everyone.”

For way too long, the political system has ignored the concerns of the average Queenslander, preferring to focus on party self interest.

I propose to break that nexus with the support of One Nation colleagues and finetune policy which listens to what is of concern within our community, such as: • Delivering on the promise of duplication of the rail line to Nambour and associated public transport services to the Hinterland and Coast • Upgrade Caloundra Road, Nicklin Way roundabout, Bellvista and Aura arterials • More youth employment within the region • Reduce government red tape which is costing small business • Lower cost of living – reduction of electricity cost • Eradicate ‘Safe Schools’ program from schools If we want change, we need to be that change.

With election day 2017 now upon us, the choice for the voters of Glass House is clear: Annastacia Palaszczuk and Labor delivering another three years of good, stable government, or a Tim Nicholls and Pauline Hanson coalition of cuts and chaos.

At a local level, there is a genuine choice to make between a Labor representative who will give voice to the Hinterland in a majority Labor government, or another three years of an LNP politician who consistently under-delivers.

It’s time the towns and communities west of the Bruce got a fair go.

Labor understands that first rate public health care is a top priority for Hinterland residents.

That’s why in the next term of government Labor will employ an additional 260 nurses and 12

midwives on the Sunshine Coast.

Labor has also made several local road improvements in this term of government, including the Steve Irwin Way intersections at Reed Street and Bowen Road. This week I announced that a re-elected Palaszczuk government would fund a $4m fix of the notorious Beerwah intersection on the corner of Peachester Road and Old Gympie Road. Traffic lights, improved drainage and other works will be undertaken to fix this dangerous traffic hot spot once and for all.

Emergency services are also critically important to life in the Hinterland. In this past term of government Labor built the new $2 million Maleny police station and in the next term will

build a $3 million state of the art facility to house the Maleny and Districts Rural Fire Brigade and the Maleny Auxiliary Fire and Rescue Service.

Most importantly, Labor has a plan to create local jobs, with our proven Buy Local, Back to Work and Skilling Queenslanders for Work programs.

In the past three years Labor has driven down unemployment on the Sunshine Coast to 4.9% – compared to 7.3% when the LNP left office.

Tourism is a major driver of jobs here in the Hinterland, and with that in mind I announced this week that Labor will invest $3 million to upgrade facilities in the Glass House Mountains National Park. That’s great news for our beautiful National Park and even better news for local business who will benefit from the increased tourist trade.

Our region deserves an MP who not only understands the issues but will actually get out there and fight for them.

With your support, I’ll be the representative Glass House so desperately needs in State Parliament.

More transport services into the more isolated sections of Glass House.

Strong support for our local farmers, challenging the existing buying market to ensure our growers/ producers are priority, promoting our region of abundance in agriculture, bringing a state focus to Glass House farmers.

Upgrades to our little schools like Montville, Conondale and Woodford.

Labor are still giving Adani a $300 million royalties deal, a mining license and free ground water. It would be one of the biggest coal mines in the world. No government must ever hand over $1 billion of our hard earned public money to a foreign company.

The LNP wants to give Adani $1 billion of our taxpayers money. Adani has a shocking track record for pollution. It is currently being 20

The CEO of Adani said, "When we ramp up the Carmichael mine, everything will be autonomous from mine to port..."

Dirty donations from foreign investors, developer corporations and the gambling industry must end.

Political donations are nothing more than state sanctioned bribes.

There will be more jobs in renewable energy. Just look at the Gympie project – Solar Q – happening right now. It is a $2 billion project and will supply 15% of SEQ’s power needs and 450 jobs. Bigger projects are on the horizon.

Many are concerned about affordable electricity.

Since privatisation in 2006 power bills have

nearly doubled. Power can be reduced by creating a not-for-profit government-owned energy retailer functioning without massive CEO salaries and hefty advertising expenses. For example in 2016 AGL paid their CEO $6.9 million per year while 21,000 people had their power cut off because they couldn't afford to pay their bills.

The Greens want power returned to the people, grassroots democracy is one of our four pillars.

Greens Brisbane Councillor Jonathon Sri was instrumental in introducing a trial system for the residents in the Gabba Ward whereby the people vote on what projects they want to go ahead and where their money will be spent. This is democracy and transparency at work.

Vote Greens for diversity and ensuring politicians learn to negotiate and compromise. “A future for all of us.”

“None of us is as smart as all of us.”

It’s the final week of this important election campaign and I am tired of hearing the negative scare campaigns of Labor and the uncertainty of One Nation. I am part of an LNP team that wants to get on with the job.

By now you would have heard at least some of the LNP’s 97 practical policies for Queenslanders.

If not, I urge you take the time to check them out at www.betterqueensland.org.au.

It’s been an honour to be the Member for Glass House for the past eight and a half years and I am proud of the achievements we have accomplished together as a community. I want to finish the job we have started and with your support on Saturday, I will continue to work hard to get exactly what we need for our communities

• rail duplication from Beerburrum to Landsborough • Sunshine Coast Ice Rehab Centre • contribution to the Indoor Aquatic Centre at Maleny and funding for a ‘Drop n Go’ at Maleny State School • long term lease for the Mooloolah Valley Community Centre • flashing school zone safety lights at Peachester and Glass House Mountains State Schools • upgrades to Conondale Swimming Pool • upgrades to Glass House Mountains State School, Montville State School and Mooloolah State School • a grant to maintain the CCTV cameras operated by the Glasshouse Country Chamber of Commerce.

As your elected Member of State Parliament I have always lived, and will continue to live, by a set of principles and that is to be honest with and available to my constituents and to stick to the facts, which brings me to my next point.

Compulsory preferential voting is required this election. This means you must put a number against each candidate in order of your preference. If you do not number each square, your vote will be invalid.

Please think about where your preferred candidate’s preferences will go – for example (as we go to print) if you are voting for One Nation, Labor will receive your vote. If you are voting for the Greens, Labor will also have your vote.

If you want to continue to build a great community and future for our families in Glass House, please put me first on your ballot paper.

Together lets build a better Glass House.

Sue Mureau, Independent Candidate for Glass House

Facebook – SueMureau.AWP Twitter – twitter.com/suemureau Email – suemureau42@gmail.com

Most people are tired of hearing empty election cycle promises – especially those of us in regional electorates, where services are continually cut, and infrastructure rarely enters politicians' thoughts outside of campaigns.

There is more to Queensland than Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Our services and infrastructure needs are just as important as theirs. Our children’s access to educational opportunity, our families' employment opportunities and our small businesses' ability to survive and compete, are just as important, as is our ability to get from one point to another – be it by car, train or bus. Public transport and roads are in desperate need of upgrade.

The only way our electorates are going to get the attention they deserve, the funding they deserve,

the services and infrastructure they deserve, is to remove the safety of the seats. We need new representation, new ideas and new priorities.

People with passion and commitment. Safe seats don’t get the government’s attention.

Our youth need employment and apprenticeship opportunities, our communities need access to increased rehabilitation and mental health services, liveable wage job opportunities to enable increased spending in our local economies, and our disadvantaged need access to fundamental support services and affordable housing options, and all children need access to an affordable extra-curricular activity.

Our child protection services need overhaul, as does our inadequate violent and sexual offender sentencing culture, and our local environmental, tourism, arts and cultural groups and projects need further investment of resources.

My goals for Glass House include completing the four-laning of Steve Irwin Way, upgrading

sections of the Maleny-Kenilworth Road, increasing access to mental health and rehabilitation services, a multi-purpose community hub for Beerwah and surrounds, park amenities for Maleny and Upper Caboolture, a commitment to increased apprenticeship opportunities, affordable housing, a ‘safe haven’ development for DV survivors, and a Police Station for Mooloolah.

These are a combination of both long and shorterterm goals.

As a community, we rise by lifting others. We only truly move forward when we commit to best practice and to leaving no-one behind. And when we ensure all people are treated equally under the law.

Why should you vote for me? You should vote for me because I’ll commit to fighting to address the issues our communities face, rather than indulging in blame-shifting, which has become far too frequent in Australia’s political environment.

We must focus on what we can do, rather than what hasn’t been done.

Election You Said It Who deserves your vote?

If you are trying to decide who should get your vote and you believe in a cleaner greener renewable energy future then you should not even consider One Nation or LNP. They both want more dirty polluting coal and are happy to loan Adani a billion taxpayer dollars to do it. Adani should not get a cent of help to start this mine. It will wreck more jobs than it will create in the long run and add even more carbon to the atmosphere.

Labor has announced it will veto the loan if reelected and keep a 50% Renewable Energy Target to 2030 and 100% by 2050. One Nation and LNP would cut that target all together.

I went to a meeting in Kawana a few weeks ago held by the Queensland Government on their Climate Transition and Adaptation Strategies.

Please check out their website for details. It is an indepth and bespoke plan that they have already started to implement. So the only parties that seem serious about tackling climate change and our environmental issues seem to be Labor and The Greens.

If the environment that provides you with every sip of water, every breath you take, every mouthful of food you eat is important to you, then please think twice about who you vote for. Time is of the essence and we cannot afford to waste it.

The facts tell a story

I know people vote for One Nation thinking they are going to achieve a new and different kind of government this time.

The facts tell a different story. In 1998 when One Nation won 11 seats, Labor formed government, and in 2001 with a high One Nation vote, Labor was re-elected.

If we vote for One Nation and if we follow their HTV card, the result will be another do-nothing Labor Government and a Labor MP in Glass House.

voter would want a Labor/Green Government that is so far away from One Nation policies.

Labor is soft on criminals and refuses to tell parents whether ‘Safe Schools’ is being taught to their children. They support less individual freedoms and late term abortion as well as anti-farmer laws and anti-mining jobs.

Voting for One Nation will actually just hand the government back to Labor again. Please vote with care and make sure we get the government we really want.

It’s your preference to choose

I’ve seen some misleading information put out lately that a vote for this party is actually a vote for Labor or a vote for that party will mean your vote goes to LNP. These people seem to be wanting to deceive and confuse people as to how the preferential voting system actually works.

This election you will need to number every box in order of your first choice to your last choice.

Only you can decide who you want to order your preferences in... they don’t automatically get allocated to another candidate or they don’t get determined by what the party’s how to vote card says.

This election, your number 2, 3, 4 (and 5) votes may be just as important as your number 1 vote.

Increasingly, it seems that preferences may decide the result in both the local electorates of Caloundra and Glass House; which may in turn determine who forms government.

Don’t waste your vote... number every square and choose who you want, don’t be fooled by hearsay and innuendo.

Major costs for Queenslanders

The major costs for Queenslanders are vehicle registration, drivers’ licenses, fees and service charges for water and electricity and the underutilised public transport system. Whilst we continue to have Labor's enquiry into everything, nothing will change!

This is demonstrated by the Railway Union being paid a bonus just to turn up to the already well paid jobs.

It’s time for a change of government to who has

Vegetation nightmare

When the State Government first introduced vegetation restrictions, a lot of farmers took the opportunity to lock in a PMAV (Property Map Assessable Vegetation), leaving a portion of their land timbered and locking in a Category X (coloured white on veg maps) area that could be cleared to plant improved pasture for livestock, plant more orchard, grow sugar cane, crops, etc.

Landholders could make a plan to improve their business into the future as time and funding allowed. A contract with the government, or so they thought.

In 2016 amendments by the LNP to the Protected Plant legislation were introduced and ‘Trigger Maps’ were created. Blue circles now cover about 2.6 million hectares of Queensland.

The PMAVs which were to provide certainty for landholders regarding vegetation matters were trumped.

The ‘blue dot’ mapping can change at any time. It is the landholder's responsibility to be aware of any changes. With over 17,000 pages of state legislation impacting primary producers, this is unrealistic. The farmers that have had the misfortune to have lost their Category X are now required to obtain a permit by employing a botanist (at the farmer's cost) to search the property to see if there is a possibility of an endangered plant. And the sting in the tail – the permits only last for two years before they have to reapply and pay all over again. No one could organise clearing and planting around the wet and dry seasons in just a 24 month period.

Labor has announced if they win this election they will reintroduce the Vegetation Management Bill, another vegetation hurdle for landholders to jump through.

For most farmers, farming means taking on a huge debt and when they are impeded in being able to increase production and property value the chances of making things viable are impossible. The rural community desperately needs less regulation and more support, not more regulation and little support.

Defacing signs

Further to the debate about defacing of signs I would like it on the record that I do not support the vandalism of candidates’ signs that has occurred on the Range.

I would, however, also like to point out that there are two sides to this story. Many of your readers may recall I wrote to this paper a few months ago about the proliferation of out-of-campaign-period billboards of Andrew Powell. It seems to me those National Party campaigners complaining about the recent defacement of his signs are guilty of a level of hypocrisy: if our Local Member, the representative of authority in our region, is prepared to condone the spread of billboards bearing pictures of himself in direct contradiction of our local area plan, this, in itself, is evidence of a breakdown in the rule of law. It could, without much of a stretch, be seen as a kind of vandalism, one that has, in turn, provoked a response from the less sophisticated elements of our community. What you sow, so shall you reap. From my perspective, and I suspect from many thousands of others, if a vote for Brent Hampstead means not seeing any more billboards of Andrew Powell, then, on that issue alone, it is a vote well placed.

Re: Halloween litterbugs

I agree with Jillian from Landsborough. We have the same problem where we live in Tamarind Street in Maleny, which seems to have become the Halloween hot spot for Maleny.

The carton of rubbish I collected from our street the next day yielded lots of single use plastic lolly wrappers, lots of uneaten lollies and particularly offensive were the empty spray cans of crazy string.

The container and contents are recommended to be disposed of as ‘hazardous waste’ yet it had been sprayed into gardens along the street!

All of this rubbish is not biodegradable and likely to wash into our waterways and pollute our environment.

It was great to see so many kids outside, away from screens and interacting with the community, but the rubbish generated by this event needs to be addressed. Perhaps one solution would be to have a themed Halloween disco in a local hall, with homemade stuff to share, wizards, witches, ghouls and ghosts… go for it.

Re: You said it questions

In last week’s GC&M News, Mr Brian Stallworthy asked why each survey form in the recent Marriage Survey was individually numbered.

He asked me to look into it and respond. I can tell Mr Stallworthy that the survey forms were individually numbered to make sure that each survey form was unique and could not be copied.

If the forms were not individually distinguishable they could have been copied to allow someone to vote more than once. Numbering the forms also allowed the Australian Bureau of Statistics to break down the data by geographical region so that we could know how each specific federal electorate had voted as well as what proportion of people in total completed the survey.

The survey was conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics under the strictest confidentiality procedures. You can read more about these processes, and the numbering of survey forms at https:// marriagesurvey.abs.gov.au/privacy-policy#barcodes.

The most important things to note are first, that no person who saw or had any access to any completed form also had access to the information they would need to identify the respondent, and second that all survey forms and individual information collected will be destroyed within the next 60 days. If anyone has any further concerns about the conduct of the Marriage Survey, please contact my office and I will be very happy to answer your questions.

Lost credibility

I have seen countless episodes of the British TV program 'Grand Designs' and in most of these programs the local council planners try to do their best to ensure when there is a building proposal submitted to council these are vetted thoroughly, particularly to ensure that the privacy of the affected parties is protected. There are also extensive consultations involved.

This principle does not appear to be the case with the planning approval section of the Sunshine Coast Council. Anonymous and nameless bureaucrats take decisions without consultation or notifying the affected

SEND TO: editorial@gcnews.com.au PO Box 99, Beerwah 4519

parties that their privacy would be severely affected.

In my case the planning section approved the building of a shed/studio right above my dwelling.

Yes, the owners abided by the council rules but gave no consideration of how the location of their shed/ studio affected my privacy.

There was no attempt on their part to explain to me their plans and what they plan to do to protect my privacy.

On consultation with my neighbours, I was told that I had no recourse against the council's decision and I just had to grin and bear it.

My only recourse was to protect my privacy by growing fast growing plants.

It’s no wonder that Australians are losing trust and confidence in the three tiers of government. In my view the Sunshine Coast Council has lost whatever shred of credibility it had.

Contentious High Court decision

All of our Federal MPs and Senators were required by our Constitution to make an oath or affirmation on the opening of Parliament on 30 August 2016 that, “I do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, her heirs and successors according to law. So help me God!”, with the last sentence omitted for an affirmation.

Part of Section 44 (i) of our Constitution states that “Any person who is under acknowledgement of allegiance to a foreign power... shall be incapable of being chosen or of sitting as a Senator or a Member of the House of Representatives”.

The Queen is the Head of State of the United Kingdom which our High Court has declared to be a “foreign power” so our MPs and Senators should all be barred, but surely that’s not right!

Three of our High Court judges in the Sue v Hill case in 1999 found that the court did not have jurisdiction to hear the case. The other four judges ruled that the United Kingdom is a “foreign power” and realised that they had a problem with the oath or affirmation as the Constitution can only be changed by a referendum.

They decided that because of several laws passed since 1906 and by the “notion of divisibility of the Crown” the Queen referred to in our Constitution had changed over the years to become the “Queen of Australia” who is a separate legal personality to the “Queen of the United Kingdom” even though she is the same person, so most of our politicians were indeed lawfully elected.

The old saying that “The law is an ass” appears to be very apt in this case.

Forever Young

Contributed by Chris Freshwater Club Glass House once again hosted the annual ‘Forever Young Charity Event’ on Saturday November 11, raising funds for the Cancer Council. Thankyou Club Glass House – it’s a great venue.

Before the day even began we received some very generous donations giving us a great start of over $1,000!

I even received two beautiful opal jewellery items from Winton! It’s amazing how generous people are! This year we had 100 raffle prizes and lots of great auction items thanks to the generosity of lots of individuals and businesses both in our local communities and outside our area. A huge thank you to all that donated and bought up big!

I couldn’t do it without my amazing helpers, Lorraine McNamara, Amanda Johnston and Michele Tipper! Thanks, ladies! Thanks also to all that helped on the night.

This year we even had a chat with Mark and Caroline on 92.7 MixFM. Glasshouse Country and Maleny News has supported me again! Thank you!

I am going to finish with the total which is amazing.

This year we have raised $10,802.30. This brings our total over five events to $32,402.95!

See you there next year!

Blackall Range Woodcrafters Guild The Blackall Range Woodcrafters Guild recently officially handed over to the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre four beautifully handcrafted silky oak tables and about twenty hand-made jigsaw puzzles.

The tables were made by Woodies member Rob Otto who was ably assisted by fellow member Don Lear.

The timber for the tables was locally-grown silky oak and was milled at the Woodies’ shed at Montville.

The jigsaw puzzles were made by guild member Philippa Friend on a scroll saw and were beautifully painted.

Christmas party launch for Arts Council Maleny Arts Council will announce its 2018 program at a Christmas party on the Deck of the Maple Street Community Centre on Sunday December 3 from 4pm-6pm.

The president, Professor Jennifer Radbourne, and her committee have invited all friends of the arts to enjoy the afternoon and find out the program for next year.

“Our annual Christmas party launch is always very popular as we relax after a busy year with drinks from the bar and lots and lots of complementary Christmas fare to enjoy, and we love to welcome people we haven’t met before,” Jennifer said.

Committee members Margaret Taylor, Jennifer Radbourne and Peter Lavery (right) with Opera Queensland star Jason Barry-Smith

SUPPORT THE ARTS AND JOIN YOUR LOCAL ARTS COUNCIL

“It is also exciting to find out what our program director, Professor Lavery, has arranged for us for the following year.

“It is not an easy job to select the shows we think our public will enjoy. There is a lot to choose from, but Peter always seems to find something our audiences love,” she said.

This year, the runaway success was Fred Smith and his Afghanistan story ‘Dust of Uruzgan’.

The audience came from far and wide and included mothers who had lost their sons in that war, lovers of folk music and people interested in what really happens in a war zone, the mateship and the laughter as well as the horror and sadness.

The last two shows ‘Tenori’ and ‘Opera Queensland sings for Maleny’ were also hugely popular, as some of Queensland’s best singers performed well-loved music from opera and the light classical genre.

The latter concert included Maleny’s own Singers who, as usual, under director Margaret Taylor’s baton, charmed the audience in a program designed by OQ especially for Maleny.

The Arts Council is interested in feedback and they want to know what you enjoyed this year, and what you would like to see in the future.

So come along, they say, enjoy the fun, the food and find out the program for 2018.

DON’T LET PREFERENCING CONFUSION DELIVER GLASS HOUSE TO LABOR! Rite-ON! is the new grass-roots non-party partisan activist group, taking an active democratic role in the Queensland State Election, working to clarify the confusion surrounding the new mandatory preferential voting.

Rite-ON!’s efforts are to assist voters who are confused by conservative parties who should be preferencing each other, but instead are putting Labor ahead of each other in many Queensland seats.

We appeal to Conservative voters who do not want to see Labor elected in Glass House Conservative voters need to be sure if their number 1 candidate is excluded, that their votes will still flow to another conservative candidate after preferences are distributed!

The ‘How-to-Vote’ cards of Rite-ON! ensure your conservative vote remains conservative after preferences are distributed. The cards have ‘full disclosure’ of both party and candidate’s name to assist voters. Your preferences are your decision, and we hope this information assists in your critically important preference decisions.

Who are THE CONSERVATIVES in Glass House?

ONE NATION - Tracey Bell-Henselin is the One Nation candidate standing in the local seat of Glass House.

Tracey brings a wealth of community experience, having worked in numerous women’s organisations including the protection of women and girls from sex trafficking. Growing up on a farm she understands the challenges of life on the land. Her passions are families, safe communities, job opportunities for youth, care for the elderly, affordable energy and responsible fiscal management of budgets.

Tracey is married with children and grandchildren. She is passionate about their future and that of all Glass House constituents.

LNP - Andrew Powell is the sitting LNP member for Glass House.

Andrew is the current Shadow Minister for Transport and Main Roads, having served the Glass House electorate since 2009 as a member for the National Party.

Beginning his career with the Defence Force in 1996, he has also worked as a missionary in Fiji and NZ. Andrew brings experience to the role with his involvement with the local community. He is married with children and has the dual interests of families and education at his core.

HOW-TO-VOTE ‘conservatively’ in GLASS HOUSE

Hannah Johnson and Tegan Gisler

Rite-ON! workers will be handing out these ‘how-to-Vote’ cards, however we suggest you take this page along with you to vote in case we miss you at the polling booth.

School News Peachester Hall goings on

Generations join together

Grandparents Day at Beerburrum State School was a huge success with lots of smiling faces and enjoyment of the activities.

Grandparents began with a lovely afternoon tea prepared in the school’s Stephanie Alexander Kitchen before sharing a tour of the gardens and some activities with their grandchildren.

The afternoon was capped off with instrumental performances from two of the school’s music students. A number of the school’s Year 5 students did a great job in supporting Mrs Davidson in the preparation of the morning tea.

Trainee recognised

Contributed by Helen Skerman Beerwah State High School had approximately 30 students participating in Trainee/Apprentice programs this year in the areas of hospitality, retail operations, business, Nikitia Temomo-Kreet information, digital media and technology, sport and recreation, community pharmacy, childcare, horticulture, engineering production, automotive mechanics and apprenticeships in hairdressing and roof plumbing.

Laura with her Grandparents

Every year at annual award night we recognise one of these students who has effectively developed workplace skills, knowledge and confidence in their chosen industry.

The 2017 recipient of Trainee/Apprentice of the year is Year 12 student Nikitia Temomo-Kreet.

Nikitia has been employed by SPC Netball Club at Caboolture completing a Certificate III Sport & Recreation, and she is described by her employer as an amazing young woman and an absolute godsend to the club.

The club president cannot speak highly enough of Nikitia and wanted to state that the club is extremely proud and grateful for her hard work and contribution over the past 18 months.

They know that there will be a very bright future in whatever path she chooses. Congratulations to Nikitia and to all our trainees and apprentices on a successful and rewarding 2017.

Peachester State School kids had a ‘Spooktacular’ night of fun and games recently.

Their annual Dress-Up Disco was held at the Peachester Hall and fun was had by all.

The noise and action was a far cry from the peaceful yoga class that was held in the hall the same morning. We love our local hall and the fact that it provides a venue for our community for so many diverse activities, sometimes all on the same day!

We are looking forward to the Peachester Hall Community Christmas Party and a visit from Santa on Saturday December 9, at 6.30pm.

Thanks to all the school parents who assisted in transforming the hall and baking for our disco night for our kids. These events do not happen without your help.

Pictured are the prize-winning costumes of the night.

Christmas charity donations and vacation care update As part of their ongoing commitment to supporting community initiatives, Glass House Early Education Centre has thrown its support behind the ‘It’s in the bag’ Christmas charity campaign.

The Centre will act as a local collection point for the campaign which seeks to support women in crisis with practical items of personal hygiene and everyday care products to help bring them a little joy at Christmas time.

Organised by the people behind the ‘Share the Dignity’ charity, the idea for this campaign came out of the realisation that women in crisis will often put the needs of others before themselves.

Organisers wanted to do something that would give these women a little personal happiness at Christmas.

The campaign will run from November 18 until December 2 and the idea is to choose a handbag in good condition that is no longer being used, fill it with items that would make a woman feel special and pop in a note or Christmas card.

This campaign gives members of the local community the opportunity to show women in crisis that someone cares - in this case girls or women experiencing homelessness or poverty.

Many of these women have fled domestic violence, and this Christmas campaign is a simple yet thoughtful way to make a difference.

Earlier this year Centre Co-ordinator Ange and the team instigated a collection point at their Centre for the ‘Share the Dignity’ personal hygiene product drive to help support homeless women.

With over 85,000 homeless women in need this Christmas ‘It’s in the Bag’ is a practical way to show someone you care.

Items to put in the bag can include sanitary pads

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

and tampons, personal hygiene products and everyday luxuries such as shampoo, soap and personal care items. Some people choose to pop in a few small items of personal giftware to make the recipient feel special – a small book or maybe even a nice nail polish – items these women wouldn’t normally be able to afford.

Next time you’re at the shops, collect a few items for your Christmas handbag and ask yourself ... “what would a homeless woman need?”

Especially relevant items are those little things needed every day from toothbrushes to hairbrushes.

The filled handbags can be dropped off at the Centre anytime during the week and at the end of the campaign drive Ange will arrange for the donations to be sent to those in need this Christmas. This campaign is a great way to give to those in need this Christmas.

With school holidays fast approaching, now is great time to think about childcare options during the break. Ange and the team have been busy putting together a jam packed activity schedule for their vacation care program to make sure school aged kids have a heap of fun and engaging activities to keep them happily occupied over the six week break.

To help with affordability, this year the Centre will be incorporating all additional incursion and excursion costs into the daily rates. By absorbing the costs into the daily vacation care fees, families will be able to access their CCB / rebate subsidies which will be especially appealing for families with multiple children in vacation care.

Glasshouse Early Education Centre will be offering a full program of fun activities, local adventures and exciting incursions / excursions.

Centre coordinator Ange Hardey When creating their holiday schedule they work collaboratively with the children to find out what type of activities they would most enjoy, and this feedback is used as the basis for many of the program ideas.

The Centre, at 2 Page, Glass House Mountains, is open from 6.30am-6.30pm. For more details contact Ange on 5438 7311.

Living - Arts Plenty of colour in this exhibition Artists Vanessa Perske and Kaye leach will be showcasing their new artworks at Maleny Art Direct on Friday December 8.

This exhibition will showcase these two artists’ love and passion for nature, Australian’s flora, in two different mediums.

Vanessa Perske is a well-established, self-taught artist with many of her works and commissions in private and corporate collections throughout Australia and internationally.

After a brief period as a primary teacher, she realized that her passion is with paint and canvas. She has followed that passion ever since.

Vanessa’s focus and ideas are around nature and its complexity. This is reflected in her work through detailed patterns and layering with a distinctive use of intense colour.

Final Open Studio Trail for 2017

It’s November and our ‘Open Studio Trail’ is on again for the last Open Studio Trail for the year.

So don’t forget – now is the time to get those unique sought-after Christmas presents.

Artists will have their studios open this Saturday and Sunday, November 25 and 26.

Some of our artists include Judi Parkinson, Chris Blake, Jennifer Eurell, June McCotter, Jacky Lowry, Cathy Lawley and Glenys Fentiman.

They produce work in a variety of mediums including watercolours, acrylics, oils, ceramics, photography and printmaking.

Our Feature Artist for November is professional potter Cathy Lawley, who re-discovered her love of ceramics while raising her four children.

Cathy has always found clay to be therapeutic;

All location details and information about the artists can be found at the Arts Connect website www.artsconnectinc.com.au

This exhibition will be showcasing a brand-new range of paintings using palette oils, in contrast to her usual style in mixed media.

While she is still able to achieve the beautiful bright colours that we expect to see from her art, the freedom the palette knife brings to the creative process can really be seen.

“Having a painting of flowers on the wall is a truly beautiful way to brighten your day – whilst it’s not always possible to a keep vase of fresh flowers, a painting can put a smile on your face,” Vanessa said.

Kaye Leach’s love of the arts began years ago in Darwin.

Since moving to Maleny she rediscovered her love of clay and is drawn to figurative sculpture.

The creation of Kaye’s ceramic pieces for this exhibition was inspired by the heart-stopping beauty of a simple field of brightly coloured spring flowers, a celebration of flowers.

Her work combines some traditional forms using colour and floral elements, applied through incised techniques.

She is influenced by nature, and its graceful playfulness between patterns and textures.

Both artists will be present on the Friday evening at the Christmas Street Party at 5.30pm and would love to have the opportunity to meet you.

connecting to the earth is very grounding for her.

Cathy said: “It makes me happy to know that my work, from the whimsical to the sleek and modern, can be found in homes all over Australia and various places in the world, that these pieces are treasured by people who have seen my work and had to have a piece for themselves.”

To find out more about Cathy check out her website www.friedmudd.com.

Our Open Studio Trail runs across the Hinterland from Landsborough in the south to Nambour in the north, through Maleny and out to Conondale and into Mapleton. For the complete address listings of the open studios check out www.artsconnectinc.com.au/events/openstudios.

Norman's next home exhibition

Norman Dobson has been a potter for 54 years during which time he established potteries in three states. He graduated from the National Art School, East Sydney with a Diploma of Art Education in 1965.

In 1997 he and his wife established the Eureka Pottery and Craft Gallery in Montville, which incorporated Norman’s pottery studio.

Their mission was “Promoting Excellence in Australian Craft”.

In 2001 they retired from the gallery and since then Norman has been making pots in his workshop at their Maleny home. He exhibits now at their “occasional gallery”, on the home verandah.

Norman makes a wide range of wheel-thrown tableware. Pots are high-fired stoneware or porcelain, ovenproof and microwave safe. He prepares his clay, makes his own glazes and builds and fires his own kilns. A feature of his pottery is that it is constantly evolving.

He enjoys developing new glazes and experimenting with different decorating techniques. His pots reflect nature and appeal to the eye and the hand.

Norman’s next home exhibition and sale is on Saturday and Sunday, December 2 and 3, from 9am to 4pm at 50 Mountain View Road, Maleny.

Contributed by Tanya Cullen Legal Studies at Glasshouse Christian College is very much a practical theory subject that provides students with the opportunity to learn concepts that have real life relevance.

The current unit on Housing Law is an excellent example. The primary focus is on evaluating the laws that surround renting and buying a dwelling and it is an ideal opportunity for students to engage with experts in the field that will prepare them for their future experiences.

Earlier in the term the students had the pleasure of hosting real estate agent Dan Clarke from First National Real Estate Beerwah.

Dan provided valuable information for the students as future renters and buyers and talked through the contract phase, including pest and building inspections, and outlined the rights and responsibilities of buyers and sellers and all the relevant interested parties.

The most recent experience for the students was a visit to the new Millbrook housing development in Beerwah.

Meeting with the developer, Doug Forbes, and real estate agent Donna Girdler from First National Beerwah, the students were led through the development journey from start to finish.

Doug and Donna pointed out the many legal requirements and regulations surrounding developments, purchasing off the plan, understanding easements, as well as covering topics such as town plans, urban growth and

Year 10 Legal Studies students with Doug Forbes investment, infrastructure and stakeholders. The real highlight for the students came from walking through the display homes and getting a visual representation of what to look for when they are in a position to purchase a home in years to come.

Breaking down the walls to the classroom and bridging the gap to the real world is particularly important for this generation of young people.

Glasshouse Christian College appreciates the many opportunities provided and is encouraged by the local community businesses and members to extend the students’ learning and make it real for them.

In theGarden Bromeliad bonanza

Living in the biggest bromeliad growing region in Australia (yes, pineapples are a bromeliad) means that you’re pretty sure that they are suited to our local conditions.

Bromeliads are a remarkably versatile garden and potted plant. The variety of shapes, sizes, colours, forms, flowers, light conditions, growing locations (even in thin air) and most being easy care... makes them a perfect plant for even the most novice of gardeners.

Local Glass House Mountains bromeliad fanciers Bob and Margaret McLean have decided to take off and start a new life at Ballina, New South Wales, and downsizing has meant that they can only take a selection of their thousands of potted plants with them.

Margaret was one of the foundation executive members of the Glasshouse Country Bromeliad Society, which formed in around 2004.

Margaret was the Secretary (well know bromeliad grower Norm Bailey was the inaugural President) and over the years, both Bob and Margaret held various executive positions, with Bob being President for three years, before the club disbanded in 2013.

You may also remember Bob as the organiser of the Glasshouse Country Garden Expo, the Glasshouse Country Festival, one of the instigators of the Glasshouse Country Men’s Shed, a former president of the Glasshouse Country Chamber of Commerce... and many more.

Bob was also a regular guest column contributor to this page over the years, sharing his knowledge of bromeliads.

“It’s with some trepidation that we’ve decided to sell all our remaining potted bromeliads and other potted plants,” Bob said.

Phone: 5439 0999 Fax: 5439 0077 paintplacebeerwah@tpg.com.au

1/28 Simpson St, Beerwah Q. 4519

“Having collected so many types of bromeliads over such a long period of time... we started in about 2003... it’s going to be hard to part with them... they’re like foster children that we’ve nurtured and cared for.

“But we can’t take them with us, so everything in pots is up for sale.”

The collector’s clearance sale will be a fantastic opportunity for anyone who wants to either start an instant collection, or who would like to mass plant areas with bromeliads.

Bob has a large ‘mother plant’ nursery, where all the plants are established and are producing pups ... so you’ll get way more than you pay for.

Not only will you be buying a nice brom, but Bob is happy to throw in... free of charge... his years of experience and give you advice and help to make sure you get the best from your bromeliads.

The sale is happening on Saturday December 2 at 53 Bowen Road, Glass House Mountains, from 7am to 1pm.

Bob says that there’s plenty of street parking, and then just wander in through the gate and around the almost 1 acre of gardens.

The bromeliads for sale will be marked, with prices being very reasonable.

Don’t miss out – not many opportunities come along where you can buy from a collector’s collection.

From the churches Those who worship at Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Caloundra recently welcomed our Archbishop, Mark Coleridge.

He visited to bless recent renovations and in particular to dedicate the Altar. In our Catholic tradition we place significant importance on the Last Supper celebration of Jesus and his instruction at that meal “to do this in memory of me”.

Every time we gather to remember that meal where bread is broken and wine is poured out we also remember what happened to Jesus in the days after, including the body of Jesus broken in love for all humanity and the new life of Jesus rising from the tomb Sunday morning.

These saving events happened once for us all but we believe that when we remember, as Jesus asked us to, then we share in that broken Body and that new life in a real and powerful way.

The Altar around which we gather is therefore a very special table. It is both the table where we

Together with musicians from the Kilcoy Adventist Church they provided the residents with an afternoon of musical entertainment together with stories, poems and quizzes.

remember the sacrifice made for us and it is the table of the feast from which all are nourished with the life of the risen Lord. When we look at the Altar we are reminded of the love of Jesus for us all and that he died and rose for all of humanity and for every generation.

What is very important to remember is that these sacred places and symbols assist us in appreciating the wonder and grace of God at work among us.

God does not need sacred things… we do.

Most of us have been moved very deeply by the beauty of nature, the peace of a sunset or the power of the ocean. These just might bring us a little closer to the God who made them all and help us praise God for all these good things. So it is with the sacred places we create.

Their purpose is to help bring us closer to the God of all places and people. God will choose whatever and whoever God desires to remind us of his love and nearness.

Sport Amateur ace could win a $16,000 car Amateurs playing in the inaugural Live Life Communities Maleny Grove PGA Legends Pro-Am at Maleny Golf Club, on Saturday, December 16, will have an opportunity to win a Kia Picanto valued at $16,000 by scoring a hole-in-one on the signature third hole.

The automotive prize for acing the 200m Par 3 has been put up by one of the tournament sponsors, Pacific Motor Group and eclipses the $12,000 cash purse being contested by the professionals who will not be eligible to win the car by holing out.

Maleny Golf Club President Max Whitten said Pacific Motor Group’s generous initiative provided a fantastic incentive for more members and visitors to get involved and join a field of more than 100 professionals and amateurs.

“Thanks to Pacific Motor Group we have been able to add some real sizzle for the amateurs playing in the event,” Dr Whitten said.

Pacific Motor Group Principal Craig McPherson welcomed the opportunity to be involved.

“It’s great to be part of this inaugural

tournament and we thought it would be a terrific idea to add some additional excitement to the event by putting up an attractive incentive for amateurs in the field,” he said.

The professionals will play in both morning and afternoon fields and accompany about 50 amateurs, with shotgun starts scheduled for 7.30am and 12.30pm.

The event will showcase Maleny Golf Club’s challenging new links-style, nine-hole layout designed by renowned golf course architect Graham Papworth, with an additional three of the second nine holes in Stage Two expected to be in play early in 2018.

There is no admission cost for spectators and the course offers some excellent elevated vantage points from which to sit and follow the progress of the players from hole to hole.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available.

So if there are any businesses that would like to be part of this event, please contact the Golf Club on 5499 9960 or email Liz Mellish on vicepresident@malenygolfclub.com.au.

Alfie Langer gets on the oval

Contributed by Michelle Lenz Rugby league legend Allan Langer visited Mooloolah State School recently as part of the official opening of the school’s new goal posts.

Despite the rainy day there were plenty of happy kids, parents and staff who were keen to meet Alfie at the school.

Alfie was himself keen to get to know the community and not surprisingly he was kept busy signing autographs, being in photographs with students and their family members, and taking time to say hello to everyone on the day.

The goal posts were officially opened by Alfie and the Year 6 teacher, Mr Lowe, and there was a game of touch football that everyone could play, along with kicking games on the oval.

Maleny Golf Club Contributed by Jenny Oxenham Wednesday November 15: There was an 18 hole Ladies Monthly Medal played with first place going to Beth Glover with 68 points, RunnerUp went to Seri Tytherleigh with 71 points on a count-back from Third Place Winner, Anne Devane. NTPs: 3 - Beth Glover and 14 - Margaret Goodger. Our men also played in their Monthly Medal Competition. A grade winner was Jimmy Byun (68), runner-up was Mike Finley (74) and third place went to Rob Bailo (75). B grade winner was Corey Zammit (73), runner-up was Paul Viertel and third place winner was Peter Gilbert. C grade winner was David Killeen on a count-back from Dave Nielsen with Isaac Nunn third with (74). NTPs: 3 - Jimmy Byun and 5 David Killeen.

The picturesque Maleny Golf Club provides an enjoyable golfing experience and challenge for players of all standards. Visitors are welcome.

Have you wanted to try Fast 5 Netball?

Beerwah Golf Club Contributed by Roger Bonhomme Men's and medley results: Last Wednesday perfect spring weather greeted the field for a two ball aggregate Stableford.

Winners, with a fine 79 points, were Brian Morrissey/Eric Anderson. Larry Jordan/Graham Rimmer finished second on 77, a point ahead of Ron Turner/Tom Major. This is Graham's second placing in a week – no doubt he's getting ready for the Club's last ‘major’ of the year, the two day Beerwah Cup to be played this weekend.

NTPs: 2 - Gary Hanlon, 5 - Graeme Weller, 16 Cheryl Peut, 18 - Geoff Griggs.

By Saturday the perfect weather had disappeared and we had a day of annoying drizzle. This nearly halved the field to 98 sodden souls who actually finished a medley single Stableford event. Results were close with countbacks needed in each grade. A grade winner was Robert Pettigrew on 41 points. Club captain Andrew Wills showed some authority with a 40 point round, finishing second on a countback with Corey Wallyn.

Geoff Clarke had his best round in two years, 39, to win B grade. Paul Handley beat Dean Wye on countback to finish second, one point in arrears. Vince Price made a long overdue return to the winners' circle, taking out C grade on 37. He beat Brad Eagle on countback.

NTPs: 2 - Graham Rimmer, 5 - Des Wicks, 16 - Robert Pettigrew, 18 - Paul Handley.

This weekend we play our final ‘major’ of the year, the two day Beerwah Cup. Members are reminded that the Club's annual general meeting will be held on Sunday December 3 at 11am.

Several nominations for committee positions have been received – so bring a sharp pencil!

Contributed by Britt Holley Tibro’s Netball Club at Glasshouse is running its very own four week Fast 5 Netball competition during December and January.

Games take 29 minutes and there is no limit to player substitutions – great for all levels of fitness.

Teams of 5 to 10 players are welcome to register, or you can join a team as a single player. Fees are $50 per team per game and, if you are a registered Tibro’s player, there is no registration fee. New players need to pay a $20 registration. Players must be 14 years or older. Mixed teams are welcome but limited to 2 to 3 males on the court at any time.

The competition starts on December 12 with a break over the Christmas period. Visit Tibro’s Netball Club on Facebook for more information or to register a team or yourself.

The Range Croquet Club Contributed by Ken Barker Sunday saw an entertaining match up with Ken Barker and Donna Manning in a fourteen-point game with no lifts. This is involves only going through each of the six hoops once instead of twice and then ‘pegging’. It’s a much shorter form of the game, and, when lifts aren’t involved, considerably fewer considerations in the middle game. After shaky starts by both players, Donna found some form with a six break and then took advantage of a tactical error to peg out, winning 14-3.

On Thursday Donna again starred in a fourteenpointer with Nick Cram and Helen Andrews. This time, however, it was in a six-ball game with three players all as individuals. There is room for an immense amount of treachery in a game such as this, even more than in a normal game.

However, I am reliably informed that everybody played honourably and the result bore this out.

Donna pegged out, scoring 14, Nick and Helen both a creditable 7.

The lawns are being renovated on November 22 and will be unavailable for a couple of weeks after that.

Club play days are Thursday and Sunday at 2pm for 2.30pm. Saturday mornings at 8am there are lessons for beginners on the courts in the showgrounds. For details contact president Vince Carbery 549 42193 or secretary Priscilla Vickers 5494 3555.

Just for Laughs A politician was a guest speaker at community dinner. As the politician stood up to speak, a few of the men saw it as an opportunity to sneak off to the bar. An hour later, with the politician still talking, another man joined them. “Is he still talking?” they asked him. “Yes," the man answered. “What on Earth is he talking about?”

“I don’t know. He’s still introducing himself.”

A politician, a clergyman, and a Boy Scout were passengers in a small plane that developed engine trouble. The pilot announced, "We'll have to bail out. Unfortunately, there are only

Your Stars ARIES March 21 - April 20 Maybe you need an investor for your product or new business venture. With the Scorpio influence in the current stars there are certainly some confidential financial transactions happening. Your best success this week is by uncovering old assets or resources. With Mercury retrograde coming up next month, it would be wise to strive for efficiency.

TAURUS April 21 - May 22 Try not to turn down any spontaneous invitations to be sociable. Networking can certainly pay dividends now, personally and professionally. The weekend sees you talking things out with others and setting the stage for hearing opinions that can make all the difference. Murphy’s Law is in full swing so keep all plans flexible.

GEMINI May 23 - June 21 As Mercury conjoins Saturn you will see what is needed to make a decision. This is enhanced by the Sun which entered the sign of Sagittarius from the 21st, shining its light on expanding the meaning of your life. Be more interested in a joyful social life and, if you are single, this will help you if you are still looking for a commitment with a partner.

CANCER June 22 - July 22 The sun has entered Sagittarius and there is attention to your health and perhaps even having fun with a new pet. This is a week to strengthen your ties of affection and involvement in necessary community connections. If you have planned this weekend to start one way, don’t be upset if it takes a different turn. Do your homework.

Then the Senator said, "I am the smartest politician in the world. The country needs me. I'm taking one of the parachutes." And he jumped. The clergyman said to the Boy Scout, "I've had a good life and yours is still ahead of you. You take the last parachute." The youth shrugged and said, "Don't need to. There are two parachutes left. The smartest politician in the world just jumped with my knapsack!"

LEO July 23 - August 22 As the Sun enters the sign of Sagittarius from the 21st you will find joy and heartfelt unions revived with loved ones and children.

It’s a time of you enjoying your sense of self expression and laying the ground work for new projects. The energy is around your base of operations, whether it be home or business, therefore some real estate interests arise.

VIRGO August 23 - September 22 Send out resumes as public relations and promotion go very well this week. Your chart shows important meetings and conferences and happy short journeys. You will enjoy improving your environment as well as experimenting with new methods. It’s a good weekend to spend time with the right people, especially those in a forward thinking crowd.

LIBRA September 23 - October 22 From this Wednesday to the weekend the Moon reflects you dealing with home matters with some intensity as everyone’s passions are involved. Some are loving and devoted, however some are more angry or distressed!

It may not be easy to hold back feelings that you have been brooding over, but the weekend has a surprising happy realisation.

SCORPIO October 23 - November 22 With the planet Mars in transit through the sign of Libra you might explore pathways to wellness. This might mean not pushing yourself to physical limits, which could result in a trip-up or a sprained ankle. Unexpected weekend shopping is all relating to home and family needs. This brings surprising delights and changing domestic routines.

SAGITTARIUS November 23 - December 22 You must not give anyone the numbers to your financial accounts. The current Scorpio energy sees clever scams trying to take your hard earned cash! Money affairs should stay well protected over this week. Check out whatever is a suspicious claim. The weekend sees you ready to explore the world and make each day an adventure for friendly company.

CAPRICORN December 23 - January 19 Make sure you have all you need before leaving the house and each day this week is a pleasure if you minimise distractions. The weekend is marked by an upward trend and do allow yourself to enjoy a social outing, such as via shopping. Success will come by looking at the future realistically, drawing closer to friends, and community participation.

AQUARIUS January 20 - February 19 At last Neptune goes direct in Pisces bringing a return of clarity to some of your confused and neglected bottom-lines! Just watch your finances closely and avoid clever scams. The weekend may see a problem with a colleague as moods become arrogant, however the weekend brings early morning surprises and there is banking and shopping on the agenda.

PISCES February 20 - March 20 Relationships are wonderful, sometimes intense, but it is a good time to team up with those who share your views and to make plans with them. After the 21st the Sun changes into the sign of Sagittarius, signalling four weeks to reassess your job status. This weekend, work brings advantages and you can capitalise on confidential tips if shopping.
