Hi Everyone You will notice on the front cover this week we have a photo of the Division 1 councillor, Rick Baberowski, taken at the Coochin Creek Camp Ground on Roys Road. Since taking on the role as councillor he had mentioned in his GCNews column that he was interested in finding out what residents felt were their favourite places. For regular readers you won’t be surprised this immediately got our attention - we love the term ‘backyard tourists’ and got in contact with him about working together on this project. GCNews looks forward to being able to share local’s favourite spots with our readers and I am sure there will be places that residents who are new to the area will be absolutely surprised by. I have been thinking about my favourite spot and at this stage I have decided that I can’t really

narrow it down to just one view / spot, but I can probably narrow it down to Mt Coonowrin ‘Crockneck’. I love to catch a glimpse of it from the many different locations that I travel to each day. Even last Saturday morning when we were at Happy Valley at Caloundra for an early morning walk, it was a particularly clear morning and looking back across the Pumicestone Passage you got a great view, and it put a smile on my face seeing it in the distance. If you have a particular spot you would like to share with others – check out Cr Baberowski’s story on page 3. Regards,

Our favourite places

GCNews, together with division 1 councillor Rick Baberowski, are encouraging locals to get outdoors with a new campaign ‘Our Favourite Places’ designed to celebrate our unique natural environment. The novel concept, proposed by Cr Baberowski, gives residents the opportunity to share with others some of the area’s hidden treasures, and your favourite, secret places. To kick things off, we asked Cr Baberowski to share his favourite location. “Despite some pot holes at the moment in the access road, it would have to be the camping grounds at Coochin Creek,” he said. “As soon as you head off on a walking track or down to the water, I feel immediately transported away from my daily concerns. “It’s such a beautiful, scenic and peaceful spot, I’m sure for many it is an undiscovered gem in our region,” Cr Baberowski said. From the back to basics composting toilets to the vista of Coochin Creek in all its magnificent glory, the National Park camping ground offers 21 camping sites (permits required) and a number of picnic tables and gas barbeques, and is perfect for both the day tripper, and the keen fishermen, with the Coochin Creek boat ramp just one kilometre away. Cr Baberowski said he wants to encourage everyone in division 1 to become more active back yard tourists. “We have a truly outstanding range of scenic spots that often only local residents know about.

Cr Baberowski is encouraging locals to become backyard tourists “I’d love to hear from residents about where their favourite spots are, and in sharing at least one or two of our secret spots, help remind ourselves what a special area we have,” he said. Every month, GCNews will feature one location as part of Our Favourite Places series.

Revival of lost craft in Landsborough

Landsborough

It seems the tradition of preserving age old crafts is alive and well in Glasshouse. This week, we were fortunate to catch up with Landsborough local Judi Tompkins, one of only a handful of individuals across the state actively involved in the craft of traditional rug hooking.

Rug hooking, which is sometimes mistaken with a much more recent and popular craft known as latch hooking, is both an art and a craft in itself, and is enjoying a quiet resurgence in the craft rooms of a small but growing number of women around the country. With a huge following in the United States and the UK, Judi, who has been rug making seriously for the past few years, said Australians have literally been left out of the loop when it comes to keeping the heritage craft alive. She said the sister craft to quilting originally evolved like most things, out of necessity, in the cold climates of the Northern Hemisphere, where warm floor coverings had an important and practical function. “These handcrafted rugs served not only to beautify the home, but were also a way to recycle scraps of other fabrics and materials, supporting the philosophy of thrift, which ironically is probably one of the main reasons the craft has lost some of its ‘gloss’ over the years,” Judi said. Judi said because the floor coverings were often made from rags or scraps, many of the migrants who brought the skills to this country, didn’t want to be associated with a craft of thrift as they prospered in a new land. Hence, the skills weren’t passed on to their children, and future generations.

But, as fate would have it, Judi, who only arrived in Australia herself in 1989, emigrating from the US, brought not only the knowledge, but the passion of this craft with Judi Tompkins her. “I am of an era where many of the more traditional craft and cooking styles were passed down from my grandmother, and I think it’s sad to see these age old traditions lost to future generations. Judi said the passing down of old traditions was also a valuable way to connect with the younger generation, where the focus had shifted to a dependency on technology. “It’s a great way to spend time with children and grandchildren, and it’s important to encourage interests other than modern technology and sport. Judi is hoping to hold a free rug making demonstration at the Caloundra library if she can generate enough interest. To express an interest in attending a demonstration, sign on at the Caloundra Library site at library.sunshinecoast. qld.gov.au/sitePage.cfm?code=newsletters, or email Judi at judi.tompkins@bigpond.com For more information on this age old craft, visit Australia’s Traditional Rug Makers and the Australian Rugmakers Guild website at www.rughookingaustralia.com.au

No immediate solution for damage to our iconic mountains By Greg Brown

Representatives from the Glasshouse Mountains Advancement Network (GMAN), the Trail Runners Association of Queensland (TRAQ), National Parks Association of Queensland (NPAQ), Councillor Rick Baberowski, and others met recently with Steven Dickson MP, Minister for National Parks, Recreation, Sport and Racing, Andrew Powell, to discuss damage and erosion in National Parks areas as a result of trail bike and four wheel drive activities.

Cliff Schnick, President of GMAN said that their concerns were about the increasing damage being done to the local environment. “The damage caused, risks threatened flora and fauna habitat, as well as the soil damage and erosion, much of which inevitably washes downstream into the Pumicestone Passage, an already deteriorating waterway,” said Cliff. The meeting, also attended by Paul Donatiu, Executive Coordinator of the National Parks Association of Queensland, established that trail bike riders in National Parks were of greatest concerns, but that four wheel drives were also becoming a serious issue. Despite environmental concerns shared by many, Mr Dickson said the state government was serious about implementing their policy of opening up national parks to more uses. “We will do anything needed to boost the tourism potential of the area. “We will be implementing a process to assess the values of the parks in the system and changing their classifications if needed.” The government is also working to facilitate the

set up of multi-use facilities for activities such as trail bike riding and four wheel driving. “We have been working on establishing one such location between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, and another between the Sunshine Coast and Maryborough,” said the Minister. Mr Dickson said there would be an announcement on these in the near future. In the meantime, the National Heritage listed mountains we all love are being damaged, and in some locations, almost beyond repair. It was what went unsaid at the meeting may also end up cost the region dearly. The Minister gave no solutions for better policing of the illegal activities. The idea of an identification system for trail bikes was put into the ‘politically too hard basket’. No commitments were given by either Minister to increase signage, awareness or community education. And nothing was said about actually repairing the existing environmental damage. The destruction and illegal trail bike activity is also risking an iconic internationally recognised local event – the Glasshouse trail runs. Ian Javes, Trail Runners Association of Queensland and the organiser of the event since 1990, has had enough. “The damage caused by trail bikes is making the events almost impossible to continue with. “If something isn’t done to stop the problems, I’m afraid that the runs may have to be abandoned,” said Ian. Mr Dickson showed his concern at the prospect, but reiterated that funding was a problem. “There is no money to throw at these problems,” he said. According to Paul Donatiu, National Parks Association, research suggests that there is a lack of short walks for National Park visitors.

“People have told us that there aren’t enough short walks where people can have a look at something wonderful. We have these iconic and spectacular places, but we don’t have short trails where day visitors can get to see them,” he said. Both Mr Dickson and Mr Powell agreed that there was definitely a need for more short walks locally. “We already have a few great short walks locally, but there is definitely room for more. And maybe we also need to promote the existing ones a little better as well,” Mr Powell said. Subsequently, Cliff Schnick said that while GMAN considered that the meeting had created a positive connection with the Ministers on the issue of developing and promoting relevant and appropriate activities in our National Parks areas, it was disappointing to find that less than 24 hours later, Minister Dickson announced that 875,000 hectares of National Parks would have their status rescinded and be opened up to logging and grazing. “This together with recent announcements of opening up commercial opportunities within national parks should ring some warning bells. “While GMAN continues to pursue the establishment of more trails, tracks and park facilities, approaches to do so are being confused and frustrated by the Minister’s retrograde announcements,” said Cliff.

This year’s Charity Sports Day will be held on Saturday, August 25 at the Beerwah Sportsground and will feature some terrific new attractions.

Local Peachester resident, Cameron Hermansen (pictured) and friend Aaron Guthrie, will give a display of aerial trick riding from the Freestyle Moto-cross team. Cameron and Aaron will be scheduled for two shows during the day, so make sure you don’t miss it. Also this year, the Ute Muster has been widened to a ‘Show and Shine’ event to cater for anyone and everyone who wants to show their own vehicle whether it be a sedan, a ute, a hot-rod, a street car or whatever. There will be classes for all vehicles in 15 categories plus people’s choice with trophies for winners of categories. So polish up the car and drive it along to the Show. Enquiries to Brian Moffat 0428 711 357. As usual, a large turnout of horses is expected for all classes of horse events and the dog utejumping competition is on again; with novelty athletics, face painting, and a pet parade among the many activities for children.

All the usual stalls will be there, including luscious home-made cakes, jams and chutneys with fresh local produce also available, and in particular, the strawberry pavlovas are always eagerly snapped up. You won’t go hungry as there will be a barbecue lunch and dinner, sandwiches, tea and coffee, cold drinks etc. Sid the Seagull will be handing out free sample bags to children and the Australia Zoo Croc Cruiser will be organising activities. The Ragged Band Morris Dancers will re-appear this year to frighten the horses and everyone else with traditional English Morris mayhem. The Raggies dance Border Morris, an ancient fertility rite designed to frighten away evil spirits, and bring good luck and good harvest to the village. With tatter-coats and bells on their legs, they will be one of the noisier acts at this year’s Beerwah Charity Sports Day. So make it a day for the whole family – you’ll enjoy every moment. Remember all proceeds go to Cancer Council Queensland. Enquiries to Bruce Page on 5494 9557.

Future of Mooloolah Pool in doubt Don’t get caught by a carbon copy Discover the benefits of an independent newspaper

5438 7445 advertising@gcnews.com.au

The future use of the Mooloolah Pool has been put into doubt when the current lease between Sunshine Coast Council and Education Queensland expires later this year.

GCNews has been contacted by a concerned parent who said there were rumours that the pool would be closed to public access once the current agreement comes to an end in November. Mooloolah State School principal Michele Brown said under current arrangements, the public had access to the pool before and after school hours. “Currently, the arrangement between Council and Education Queensland allows for public use before and after school, however the pool is primarily used by the students of Mooloolah State School and surrounding local schools for swimming lessons in term one and four,” Ms Brown said.

She said the school was hopeful of a similar outcome when a new agreement is struck later this year. “Our hope is that the pool can continue to be shared by the school and the community,” she said. A Sunshine Coast Council spokesperson said the current lease between Education Queensland and Sunshine Coast Council for outside school hours use of the Mooloolah pool for the community expires in November 2012. “Council is continuing discussions with Education Queensland and Mooloolah State School about ongoing community access to the pool beyond November 2012,” the spokesperson said. The spokesperson said further information will be available in the near future as discussions between Council and Education Queensland progress.

Gowinta Farms handed a lifeline In a sign of faith, administrators have handed Gowinta Farms a lifeline that will allow the company to continue trading, following a meeting with creditors last week. Administrators, Rodgers Reidy Chartered Accountants, agreed to a Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA), which will allow the existing management to continue running the company, but to be overseen in the short term by the administrators. Gowinta Farms director Len Smith said he would like to thank everyone who had been understanding and supportive during the process. “We are relieved with the result that has been achieved and we will endeavour to work closely with those that are still willing to trade and support us in the future,” Len said.

Mooloolah Valley Sports Club future in balance The Mooloolah Valley Sports Club on Connection Road, Glenview has been closed since the club went into liquidation, with large debts owing to a range of creditors, including local businesses. As a result, the property was forced to sale through an expression of interest process instigated by the appointed liquidators – Morton’s Solvency Accountants. With the expression of interest period ending on June 28, the future of the club is now in the hands of the property agents –McGee’s Property. At the time of publication, GCNews understands that Morton’s are in the process of finalising their assessment of the expressions of interested received. A spokesperson for Morton’s said that they were in the process of signing a contract of sale with one of the interested parties. The spokesperson said that they expect a contract will be signed in about one week, and that a report will be made available to creditors, possibly in August. In the meantime, anxious locals are left waiting for the return of a favourite entertainment setting, casual dining venue and local meeting spot. One local former club member said that he just wants to know what’s going to happen. “It’s been going on for so long. We just want to know one way or the other,” he said. And that’s a sentiment probably shared by many in the community.

YOUR LOCAL FOOT & ANKLE CLINIC

“We are understanding of criticism and animosity that has arisen from this and will in time, if allowed, to repair any damage that has been caused.” Len said he was disappointed by false and misleading information that had been circulating in the local community. “I am all for criticism, but totally opposed to lies,” he said. “We have high standards set for ourselves and the business going forward as we always have, and are prepared to do all it takes to keep our reputation intact.”

Celebrate National Tree Day This weekend, on Saturday, July 28, the Mooloolah Community Centre is hosting a free event to celebrate National Tree Day. There will be free trees to giveaway, kid’s activities, information about native trees and wildlife, and a free sausage sizzle.

After gloomy predictions weatherwise the sun beamed brightly on the happy Chappy golfers as they meandered around Beerwah Golf Course last Sunday.

An initiative of Planet Ark, National Tree Day is Australia’s biggest community tree planting and nature care event. Now in its 17th year, National Tree Day has seen over 2.5 million volunteers plant more than 16 million Members of Mooloolah Community Centre are ready native trees, shrubs and for National Tree Day celebrations on Saturday grasses. Mooloolah Community Centre coordinator Renee Grant said they were thrilled to be supporting National Tree Day. “We believe that this is a valuable program that links the community with the environment in a fun and interactive way,” Renee said. “We’d also like to acknowledge the organisations that have assisted us for this event; Sunshine Coast Council, Unity Water, Witjuti Grub and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.” The event kicks off from 9.30am - 1.00pm. Both the Community Op Shop and Community Garden will also be open on the day. Everyone is welcome, so come down and join us and see why life is better with trees! The Mooloolah Community Centre is located at 43 Bray Road Mooloolah. For more information see www.mooloolahcommunitycentre.org or contact the centre on 5494 7822 or 0400 685 685.

Congratulations to Justin Rummery and his team from the Pump House who were the outright winners of the perpetual Chappy Golf Day Trophy and also to the local Beerwah Supa IGA Team headed by Neil Crook who were runners up. This was fitting as Supa IGA Beerwah have been proud sponsors of this event for many years. Thanks to our sponsors who got behind us: Beerwah Supa IGA, Stream Financial, National Construction Management, Interlux Projects, Network Communications, Armesto's Transport, Beerwah Self-Storage, The Pump House (Beerwah), Streamline Trimming & Upholstery, Andrew Powell MP, Beerwah State High School, Glasshouse Design & Manufacturing, and Dental Excel (Beerwah). High School Chaplain Mike Turner said, "everything ran smoothly and I have a great team to thank for that." He also praised John Kemp, Ross Horne and Lyn from Rotary for cooking up a fantastic lunch! Mike also wanted to thank organiser Warwick Moody and wife Sherryl. "Special thanks for putting on another great event, everyone I spoke to on the day loved it, and many said that they were coming back in 2013."

Neil Crook and Mike Turner were pleased with the results of last weekend's annual Chappy golf day

From the Schools

Commonwealth Bank donates to Peachester school’s kitchen garden Peachester State School’s community garden refurbishment program got a welcome boost last week, with a donation of some much-needed gardening supplies from the Beerwah branch of the Commonwealth Bank. The donation to the school was part of the Commonwealth Bank’s centenary celebrations. Beerwah branch manager Patricia Shaw was on hand to present the school with their donation. “This is a fantastic initiative that has enabled us to make a difference to our local community. We look forward to another 100 years of supporting the Lleyton McMurtrie, Erin Hatcher and Jade communities in which we Cameron-Geerse with Rochelle and Patty from the operate,” she said. Commonwealth Australia Bank, and Peachester Peachester school principal school principal Rosemarie Hodder Rosemarie Hodder said the school was grateful for the new supplies. “We wish to extend our gratitude to Commonwealth Bank Beerwah branch for providing us with this gift. It is a great indication of their sense of community and will be very well received.” The school’s kitchen garden is nearly complete, with lessons being prepared to show students how to cook and prepare their garden produce and also share in the tastes of their garden.

Giraffes can’t dance, but Glenview students can!

The Prep, Year 1 and Year 2 students from Glenview State School recently performed a story / dance based on the book, 'Giraffes Can't Dance.' They showcased their understanding of different cultures through movement, dance and storytelling. The students were dressed in costume and couldn't wait to show their parents what they had been learning from the Cuban Cha Cha to the English Galopede to the Heel and Toe Polka. At least 100 parents and friends turned up to watch the splendour and were amazed at the polished performance of the children as young as Prep through to Year 2. The teachers were very proud of their students and could see the growth from the beginning to the final performance.

You are never too old to learn! So it’s great to see new dance classes for adults in Landsborough. The classes are being run by The Free Spirit Dance and Music School and will offer belly dancing and samba. No need to worry if you can’t convince your other half to join in, you don’t need to bring a partner along to participate. The dance school is run by volunteers on behalf of The Free Spirit Dance and Music Foundation, which supports the wellbeing and welfare of children and animals. Give them a call on 0423 333 280 or online at www.freespiritdanceandmusic.com. Beerwah Photographics owner Ilia Starkovsky has decided that as of the end of August he will semi-retire and close down his shop on 48 Simpson Street. He won’t be giving up photography and will still be available for weddings, portraits, and commercial photography, as well as photographic courses and his digital restoration service. He will be working from his home in Glass House Mountains, and will provide a personal pickup and delivery service. His huge database of over 5,000 images of archived customer jobs, are computerised and will be available by name and accessible for reprint. After August Ilia's new contact number will be 0407 030 432. The Lookout Café at Glass House Mountains is now being run by three lovely ladies Rochelle, Elise and Noelene who are keen to share their picture perfect café with locals and visitors. Since taking over just over a month ago they have already made a number of changes, including now opening seven days a week, from 9.00am – 3.00pm on weekdays and then 9.00am – 4.00pm on the weekends. They have already impressed their local customers with some great homemade sweet treats along with their breakfast and lunch menus. See their ad on page 19 for their special for locals; a free drink with every food purchase.

It was the13th Annual Changeover Night with Trevor Taylor, District Governor Nominee 2013-14 who introduced the guests attending this year’s function held at the Beerwah Hotel.

The incoming president invites guests and friends to share this important event with him. Our Rotary Club’s big night was attended by the District Governor Elect 2012-13, Dai Mason and his lovely wife Sue. Also in attendance were Helen Fox, Assistant Governor, Win Fowles, representative of the University of the Sunshine Coast Community Fund, our very own past President Pat Green and her husband Tony, Graham Leach and wife Barbara, Charter President of the Kawana Waters Club as well as 55 other members and friends of Rotary. The guests enjoyed not just good food and great fellowship but also witnessed the presentation of numerous annual donations to different local organisations, like the Cystic Fibrosis, Rural Firebrigades, Historical Society Peachester, Cancer Council Australia and of course the Chaplaincy Fund. Our long standing Treasurer Sue Schlapa received a Certificate of Appreciation for the fantastic job she has done over the past few years, and a further four attendees received the John and Pat Wagner – Service to Cystic Fibrosis, Oskar and Suzan Schlapa – Years of Rotary. Incoming President John Kemp addressed the guests and pointed out that this year’s Motto from Rotary President John Kemp with District Governor elect International is ‘Peace through Dai Mason and past president, Klaus Schiemann Service’.

The Beerwah Sports Grounds Contributed by Joy Hodgens

Sport played a very important part in the busy lives of our early settlers. John Simpson, mine host at Coochin Creek Hotel from the 1880s, had vivid youthful memories of the ‘Gas Light Sports’ held adjacent to his parents’ Redbank Inn and he continued this tradition at Coochin. An oval was built over the road from Coochin Hotel and sports were held regularly. At one of these days, John’s wife, a short heavily built woman, lifted her skirts and out-sprinted the lot. Tug-o-wars, wood chops and horse events were popular. These chops must have been among the first in Queensland. The ant bed cricket pitch was regarded as one of the best in the area and John Simpson had a free shout wager going for any batsman who could hit a ball over the pub roof. The oval was referred to as ‘the Green’ when cricket was being played. With the coming of the railway, closer settlement took place around the township of Beerwah. A new oval took shape on a reserve at the rail end of Slaughteryard Road (now Roberts Road), and cricket and football teams played competitively. Sports days were held annually. They were huge social events where the whole district turned out. Ladies’ nail driving, broom throwing, hop, step and jump, vaulting, long and high jump, wood-chopping, crosscut sawing and novelty races were usually on the program. Foot races were of special interest and stakes were high. The men took it seriously, many lining up in the running gear of the day. This could include a running singlet, full length tights under a hand sewn pair of satin shorts, and even a pair of running shoes. Horse racing was keenly followed, there being a number of racetracks in the area. Surprisingly, trots were held as well. As a young girl, Grace Hodgens accompanied her father to the sports ground to train his trotters Bon Ton and Stella. At one time the sports ground was also used for greyhound racing. Family records show that the Simpsons raced greyhounds there in the 1920s and 1930s and possibly later. A snared possum was stuffed and used as a lure. Activated by a sewing machine wheel, the lure was wound in ahead of the racing greyhounds. The sports ground is now used for a variety of sporting events, including the annual Charity Sports which started in 1971 with a program based on the old-time sports. While the modern Charity Sports includes a much bigger program, it has retained the spirit of the old sports days, and encourages the community to turn out for a day at the Beerwah Sports Ground.

Speed Dip On our regular trips down the Peachester Range road, we noticed a spot that could be referred to as a ‘Speed Dip’ rather than ‘Speed Bump’. It’s occurred at a spot where one of those pipes were installed across the road to drain water and it appears to be sinking. Could our local member, Andrew Powell please investigate this problem and get it repaired before people and cars suffer severe damage? Name Supplied, Peachester

Blissful local dining spot Our daughter recently visited from interstate and we took her to dinner on her last night to ‘Bombay Bliss’ in Simpson Street – Beerwah. What a gem of a place and we do hope the people of Beerwah realise how lucky they are to have such a quality restaurant to dine at. The staff were friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was great and the food was superb. Top marks to this venue. Name Supplied, Peachester

Thanks The Beerwah-Peachester Womens' Auxiliary would like to thank all those involved with our recent Book and Plant Stall. This includes people who donated time, goods and muscle and of course patrons. We hope you found a bargain! Margaret Rouhan, Beerwah-Peachester RSL Women's Auxiliary

Climate change sceptics Climate change deniers and sceptics can always find names of scientists and/or little known ‘research groups’ to back their claims, but seldom quote any of the tens of thousands of world renowned scientists who have published their research for decades, to enable peer review by other scientists who are carrying out research without biased financial backing. Sceptics however take notice of the recent findings of American scientists who have made the following findings of fact as follows:In the period 1960-1980, incidents of extreme heat were balanced by similar numbers of extreme cold incidents. Then in the period to 2005, extreme heat events were double the extreme cold events. However in the period to 2011, extreme heat events were 11 times greater than extreme cold events. Also NASA has officially discounted solar flares etc., as having any significant connection with the proven heating of our planet, although there are those who claim the earth's temperature is not increasing despite every credible measurement. Retsel, Landsborough

Police Boys Club needed I was devastated to learn about the wanton destruction of Skippy Park. My guess is bored young adults were the culprits. I have long thought this area needs a Police Boys Club to teach boys how to box. Venue? Perhaps the building adjacent to the library in Beerwah or the AFL Building in Tunnel Ridge Road. Funding? Apply now for community grants for up to $2,000 from Sunshine Coast Council. If every family in the area donated a gold coin, this project could be up and running. I am sure with Police support there would be some retired ‘PUGS’ who would help with the training. Look what the PCYC did to turn Jeff French around and help make him a world champion? There are sponsors out there like Everhard, Nike, Puma etc etc. There could be guest speakers like SLSC, Greening Australia, Defensive Driving, film nights, maybe the RSL would agree to take them to the venue. The Federal Government is spending thousands on letting the public know about the small amount they have given needy families for carbon tax. Forget that ad and replace it with ‘do you know where your children are tonight?’ If this project is to get started the public must liaise with the Police and form a committee. Please let me know what you think. Sylvia Rice, Landsborough

We need answers from council I would like to know when the council is going to do something about erecting a suitable bus shelter for the children of Mooloolah. Many school buses collect children in the morning and drop them off every afternoon at the Mooloolah Park - Beerwah High, Glasshouse Country Christian College, Meridan College, Unity College, Nambour High, Caloundra High just to name a few. It is shameful that on rainy days these children are huddled outside the toilets awaiting their buses. Not next to the toilets or beside the toilets but at the entrance of the toilets! Seriously it’s disgusting! Rates keep going up and yet the work being done in our township is remiss. What about the eyesore of the unfinished path on Mooloolah Connection Road from the Old Gympie Road toward town? What’s with that? Will it ever be finished and why is it taking so long? Any answers would be appreciated! Sam Mooloolah

Maleny High School 25th Celebrations This year marks the 25th anniversary of the opening of Maleny State High School at its present site. At that time and for the first few years of operation, many students from Landsborough, Beerwah, Glass House, Beerburrum and surrounding areas attended the school. Past students and staff are invited to come along, catch up and reminisce at the school on the afternoon of Saturday, September 1, from 3.00pm. There will be a barbecue meal and drinks for sale, together with guided tours and an exhibition of memorabilia. In the evening, the school students will be performing in the annual ‘Arts Exposed’ which is guaranteed to be entertaining. The school hopes that past students will contact their friends and make it a great reunion. Paul Tarbuck Maleny High School P&C

Super Strawberry Results Round 3 Dave Buckland from Coochin Creek Co-op is the honorary steward looking after the Super Strawberry Competition this year. Dave reports that Warren McWilliams has the leading entry this week at 155 grams. Congratulations Warren, same weight as last week, but a good effort, and there are still five rounds to go. This competition is not just for the big strawberry growers. Back-yard farmers and gardeners with a passion for strawberries could be at an advantage in a situation like this,

where you need to take a personal interest in each plant. In fact we have reliable advice that a member of the Charity Sports Committee is carefully nurturing a potted strawberry plant, confident that it will come through with an entry. Round 4 will close at 5.00pm next Friday, July 27 at the Coochin Creek Fruitgrowers' Co-op. Each weekly winner receives a six-pack from the Beerwah Hotel; and don’t forget that ‘you have to be in it to win it!’

News from Parliament

It was great to see Premier Newman recently announce his plan to release six monthly progress reports on the implementation of the Government's action items and set out delivery targets for the future. This shows Queenslanders that the Newman Government really is serious about getting our State back on track. There will be direct benefits to the people of Glass House, including improved access for families, bee keepers and tourism operators to national parks and a reduction in class permits by 50 per cent, the amalgamation of South East Queensland Bulk Water Entities and the start of construction of the long awaited Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

From Mark McArdle State member for Caloundra. Phone: 5491 2780 Quite often I am contacted by residents of the Caloundra electorate who have transport concerns. These vary from locations of bus stops to bus routes themselves being inadequate. This week my office has received an email from council asking for assistance to encourage people to give feedback (by way of a survey on Councils website) regarding a trial bus service that has been operating in the area. Funded by Councils Public Transport Levy, the current trial servicing Beerwah and Landsborough connects with QTransport services. I would encourage any users of the Council funded bus service to log onto their website and complete the survey. This is a great initiative from the council to support existing services. www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au Quite often people who contact my office will say ‘I have never contacted a politician before.’ I would encourage everyone to get in contact with their local representatives for assistance and if we cannot help you directly we can certainly put you in touch with people who can. I like to hear from people, so I am kept informed about what are the important issues. My office is open from 8.00am until 4.30pm Monday to Friday and I am frequently in and around the hinterland. I can come and see you if you cannot come to me. My office number is 5491 2780.

Caloundra Aerodrome leases to be extended

There has been some good news for the businesses operating at the Caloundra Aerodrome who wanted to extend their leases. The State Government had agreed to extend these leases without going to tender. The Minister for Local Government David Crisafulli had approved that current lessees at Caloundra Aerodrome will not need to go to tender to extend their leases. I congratulate the Minister on moving quickly to resolve this issue after years of inaction by the former Labor Government. Despite only recently receiving the application, the new Minister for Local Government had acted expeditiously. In late 2009, the former State Government said the Aerodrome would not be moving, which provided some security. I'd like to thank all the community minded-champions who have fought for years to use the aerodrome for future economic growth in aviation – an area outside what would normally be associated with the Sunshine Coast. The lessees finally have a chance to get long-term leases and plan for a long-term future, especially for their employees. Full details of the decision will soon be with the Council. www.gcnews.com.au

Some of you may be interested to know a little more about the Greentape Bill which has recently been brought to the House. The Greentape Bill is a co-ordinated package of legislation, business process and information systems reform to the licensing application and assessment processes under the Environmental Protection Act 1994 (EP Act) and represents the most significant reform to licensing processes under EP Act since it commenced. In a nutshell, the Greentape Bill will reduce costs for industry and the government, improve business investment certainty and allow frontline environmental regulation to be delivered more efficiently. It will produce estimated savings of $12.5 million per year contributing to the government’s policy to reduce regulation and red tape by 20 per cent. One of the best outcomes is that it will make it easier and cheaper for small business to establish. The proposed commencement date for the Act is March 2013 which will allow sufficient time to review and update the Environmental Protection Regulation, prepare guidance materials, train staff and businesses and update systems. Further information is available at http://www.derm.qld.gov.au/environmental_management/greentape/index. html.

Living Well Stargazer Astrolgy August 2012 with Chirone Witsen

Time for caution, discipline and patience The Full Moon falls in Aquarius on Thursday, August 2, inviting us to find a balance between the personal and the collective, focusing on integrating our individual relationship needs with our dreams and visions for humanity as a whole. With Mars approaching Saturn at this Full Moon, be prepared to be cautious, disciplined and patient around accomplishing tasks and taking action mid-month – there could be considerable frustration for about a week as Saturn slows down our enthusiasm and asks us to act responsibly. This energy will be particularly strong on Wednesday, August 15, when they are conjunct. Venus moves into Cancer on Tuesday, August 7, bringing a nurturing, emotional quality to our

What is Lewy Body Disease? Contributed by Linda Morse relating after the outgoing bubbliness of Venus in Gemini. This is a much quieter energy, where feelings and emotional tuning-in become more important than words between partners and friends. Mercury goes direct on Wednesday, August 8, after its three week retrograde period. All the recent problems with communications, double-bookings, missed appointments and technological difficulties should ease now – that is, until the next Mercury retrograde which starts November 7. The New Moon falls in Leo on Saturday, August 18, in the early hours of the morning at 1.54am. This is a perfect time to re-energise and revitalise. Leo is a fire sign, which is full of passion and enthusiasm for life, with a natural warmth and generosity of spirit. Wherever this New Moon falls in your chart, this is the area of your life that will receive a boost of new energy and vitality. If your birthday is close to this date, this is the beginning of a significant new cycle for you, especially with respect to your sense of self and your purpose in life.

Twelve months ago my dad was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia / Disease. Like 95 per cent of the population I had never heard of Lewy Body. If someone mentioned dementia I immediately thought of Alzheimer’s. Lewy Body Disease (LBD) is thought to be the second most common, yet the most misdiagnosed and least known, of the 80+ identified dementias. It is not simply a disease of the elderly and can affect people in their late 30’s. More men than women appear to suffer from LBD, it is an urban myth that dementia is a natural part of aging. LBD is a degenerative and progressive brain disease. LBD has core distinguishing features and these include dementia; hallucinations: seeing or hearing things that are not really present; cognitive fluctuations: unpredictable changes in concentration and attention; Parkinsonlike symptoms: rigidity or stiffness, shuffling gait, tremor, bradykinesia, severe sensitivity to neuroleptics (medications used to treat hallucinations), and REM Sleep Behavior Disorder. Education and awareness are essential, as there are medical practitioners and health care providers who are unaware of, or have limited knowledge of this disease. Discovered in 1912, in 1996 Lewy Body dementia was acknowledged as a separate disease. Early and accurate diagnosis is important as LBD patients may react differently than Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s patients to medication. A variety of drugs, including anticholinergics and some antiparkinsonian and antipsychotic medications can worsen LBD symptoms. A support group is available for caregivers and suffers of LBD on Facebook page @ Lewy Body Support Group Sunshine Coast or our web page; www.lewybodysupport.org. On September 15, there will be a Dementia Awareness Day at the Landsborough S A Hall, featuring guest speakers, static displays, information and entertainment and market from 8.00am - 2.00pm. We also can provide an experienced speaker who is happy to speak to groups or care facilities about Lewy Body Disease. For further information call Linda 0413 009 840.

Seven Secrets Pizza

Dine In

with Lea Parkes

Well one year on and Kaylene Sullian and her family have come a long way in learning the secrets to creating the perfect pizza – with a light and crispy crust and great tasting toppings. When I caught up recently with Kaylene she said when they first opened, they were just so busy which she described as being ‘smashed by customer’ and while they were really still finding their feet, they were not producing the consistently high standard that they are now. One of the main changes they’ve made follows Kaylene and her son Bradleys’ attendance to a weekend ‘Pizza University Workshop’ in Sydney, put on by an Italian company who make the fabulous Moretti Forni pizza ovens. Another change has been creating a team of people who work well together; everyone who

works there is either family or family friends, which Kaylene reckons makes for a really strong and motivated team who enjoy working together. They have an excellent range of pizzas and pasta which they complement with regular specials. Currently they are offering a Fire eaters Pizza which sounds a little too hot for my taste buds, I love their Margherita with the basics: tomato, cheese and oregano. Currently 7 Secrets are open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from 4.00pm and for lunch, from 12.00noon on Friday and Saturday. There are plans for ‘phase 2’ which will see expanded hours and menu options. They have a great lunch special of $10.00 for a small pizza and a can of drink which

I can confirm is quite popular with a number of people who work at Glass House Mountains – I won’t name names but some of them may just work in the Glasshouse Country News office. If you would like to place a phone order you can check out their menu on the website www.7secrets.com.au and to make it even easier for Glass House Mountains customers they’ve recently introduced a delivery service, this has been well received by their loyal and hungry customers (surcharge applies).

Glasshouse Country Ministers Fellowship

Over the last couple of weeks I had the privilege of doing some interviews with people who don’t normally attend a church as part of my studies to find out what contemporary Australia thinks of the church today. Generally it seems that many people believe the church has a great role to play in society as we meet the needs of the poor and needy, and also to help in maintaining some moral standards in the community. When asked their opinion of Christians in general, if they knew any, it was quite positive; we’re all pretty easy to get along with. Although there does seem to be a group that profess to be ‘born again’ and these guys are a little too much to handle. Always talking about Jesus at every chance they get, handing out tracts at shopping centers, and their preachers seem to be so pushy about giving money, it’s a real turnoff for the average Aussie. So what does it mean to be ‘born again’? Is it just some spiritual concept taught by some of the more fanatical denominations among us, or is it widely accepted by all believers? In a conversation late at night with a religious

Dance at Glass House Mountains Community Hall

SUNDAY *Beerwah (Peachester Road) 9.00am

teacher named Nichodemus, Jesus said that no one enters the kingdom of God unless he is born again. Being ‘born of the Spirit of God’ is the moment you accept Jesus as your Lord and receive the forgiveness of your sins he offers through the payment he made on your behalf on the cross. In that moment, God’s Spirit will enter you and your spirit is made new or is ‘born again’. So as mad as it sounds, this is the message we must continue to preach, in order that each person may hear the gift that God is offering. Saint Paul explained to his friends in a place called Corinth a couple of thousand years ago: “The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing but to those who are being saved, it is the power of God!” While some of us seem stranger than others, being born again should be the one thing we have in common as Christians. Are you included? Thanks for listening. God bless you as you figure out what’s His message for you and what’s just crazy talk! Brendan

Real Estate and Financial Guide Rental demand remains strong The Queensland rental market remained constricted at the midway point of 2012, according to the latest Real Estate Institute of Queensland’s (REIQ) residential rental vacancy rate survey. The REIQ June vacancy rates, compiled from surveying property managers from REIQ accredited agencies across Queensland, shows demand for rental properties is still exceeding supply in many parts of the State. As at the end of June, rental vacancy rates in many areas remained below 3 per cent, which is considered the equilibrium point of rental supply and demand.

“The first three months of the year are generally the busiest in the Queensland rental cycle so we often see vacancy rates particularly low during this period of time,” REIQ CEO Anton Kardash said. “What our latest survey shows us is that demand for rental property remained strong at the end of June with vacancy rates generally remaining tight. “While we are seeing an increase in the number of first home buyers and investors in the sales market, their activity will take some time to flow through to the rental market, which should ease some of this pressure on supply and rents we are now experiencing.”

For the second time this year, Rockhampton recorded the tightest rental market across the State. Its vacancy rate is 1.1 per cent, a very small improvement on 1 per cent in March. Local property managers say there has been an influx of families involved in the resources industry to the area, possibly due to the region’s more affordable rental market compared to neighbouring Gladstone and Mackay. The Sunshine Coast recorded a vacancy rate of 3.3 per cent, up from 3.1 per cent, over the same period.

We know, you hate it, filing is one of the things people dislike the most whether you are running a business or you are a wage earner. But unfortunately, hate it or not, filing has to be done, or you’ll soon find your desk collapsing under the weight of all the paper that keeps piling up. There are many different ways to keep your files and finding one that suits you is important. Here are a few suggestions as to how to file away your documents. INDIVIDUALS - Wage Earner (non business) - Keep some Arch Lever Files for documents such as:Superannuation, Taxation File (copies of your returns plus any documents relating to your return, such as medical expenses, work related expenses, ATO correspondence), Bank Statements, and Credit Card Accounts. Or if you have a filing cabinet you may wish to keep documents in labelled

www.gcnews.com.au

Keeping documents in a particular file makes it easy anytime you need to find one, and it also makes it easier at taxation time to find any documents you may need to bring to your accountant. BUSINESS - There are three main types of Files – Annual, Semi-Permanent and Permanent, sometimes you will need a copy of documents for filing in more than one place. ANNUAL FILES - Paid Accounts An Arch Lever file is probably the easiest way to file these, it could be split into separate parts for example, general expenses, bankcard expenses etc. Just file them in the date order that they were paid, or an alternative is to file the documents alphabetically if this would be easier for you. Deposits Deposit Books kept together in date order.

Bank Statements Should be filed in date order, a monthly bank reconciliation can be filed with the statements. Debtor Invoices Once again file these in date order, invoice number, or alphabetically whichever suits you best. Wages Quarterly Super Returns to Funds. At the end of the year after your tax returns are completed these files can be emptied into a box and labelled with the Year. SEMI-PERMANENT FILES BAS Returns File all your BAS returns together in a folder with any supporting documents, this makes it easy at end of year to reconcile. PERMANENT FILES Employee Files Tax file number declarations, award information, super information etc. Leases Lease agreements and any associated correspondence. Shares/Fund Investments A separate file for each Investment and

include Purchase Contracts and Sales Contracts. Shares – Dividends received or reinvested statements. Funds – Quarterly Distributions and Annual Tax Summaries. Term Deposits – Bank record of deposit, statement of interest received. Insurance Copies of insurance policies, claims, copies of invoices for claims.

Tohm's A-Z of Gardening

Contributed by Tohm Hajncl, Amber Leaf Landscaping

J is for Jagera Jagera is a small genus consisting of only four species, three of which are native to Australia. The origin of the name is subject to confusion. Some believe it to be named after the Dutch naturalist, Herbert De Jager, who travelled extensively through Asia in the 17th century. On the other hand ‘Jagera’ or ‘Yagara’ is the name of the Aboriginal tribe from the south side of the Brisbane River where the tree can be found growing. The most commonly found member of the genus in Australia is Jagera pseudorhus var. pseudorhus which can be found growing in moist forests from the North East region of NSW to far North Queensland. It is commonly known as Foambark due to the saponins in its bark which cause frothing when agitated in water. The saponins are poisonous to fish and Aborigines would use it to catch their meals. It is an important tree in forest regeneration as secondary growth to the pioneer plants and is one of the few plants that germinate under the canopy of a Camphor Laurel tree.

Ph: 5439 0999

Fax: 5439 0077 paintplacebeerwah@tpg.com.au

1/28 Simpson St, Beerwah Q. 4519

It makes a great specimen and shade tree growing to 10 metres in the open with an umbrella shaped spread to about eight metres. In a forest it can reach a height of 30 metres. Initial growth is tall and slender with its compound leaves having a tree fern appearance. After a few years the canopy starts to spread. The petioles (leaflet stalks) and underside of the young leaves are covered in fine brown hairs, lending the tree a soft rust colour. Panicles of creamy-yellow flowers appear in autumn and develop into fruiting capsules over winter to ripen and open in spring. The fruit is also covered in fine brown hairs but in this case the hairs are highly irritating and fruit should only be handled when wearing gloves. Each capsule will open on the tree to reveal three seeds. Propagation from the fresh seed is easy, with germination within a few weeks. The viability of the seed is short lived and therefore should not be stored.

Foambark is tolerant of most soil types as long as they are moist and will grow in part shade or full sun. They are sensitive to frosts. They attract many native birds and while they make great shade trees, care should be taken in selecting their position in the garden. Avoid planting near a pool as any bark falling into the water will cause foaming. Also avoid setting children’s playgrounds near the tree. The colourful fruit may tempt children to collect them, ending up with some itchy and upset kids.

Well, once again we are ruled by the rain and unfortunately have been unable to ‘burn the dirt’ but we did have 24 Hinterland riders compete at the 2012 South Queensland Championships, which were held on the weekend of June 23 and 24 at the Cooloola BMX club at Gympie. Yes, it was freezing and wet but our riders were keen. All up there were 516 riders vying for the top positions, with our riders at Hinterland bringing home 15 SQ Plates, not bad! Well done to all, especially our first timers Cody Chapman, (12th, nine year novice boys) Noah Fuller (13th, 10 year novice boys) plus sprocket’s Luka Codlin, (five year boys) Indigo Espray, (six year girls) Sienna Espray, (under five girls) Jordan Jones (six year boys).

Congratulations to Bailey Lammeretz on reaching his 100th game with the Glasshouse Hinterland Australia Football Club. Bailey has been playing with the Club since he started in the Under 8's in 2005. On Sunday he had the honour of leading the Under 12 's onto his home ground at Landsborough by running through the banner. He then play up in the U14's and kicked two goals to help these boys record their first win of the season. It was a terrific performance by Bailey on the day and a wonderful achievement on reaching this milestone.

Glasshouse Country Bowls Club Contributed by Trevor Bertram The wet weather took its toll once again last week with Ladies’ Day on Wednesday being cancelled due to the wet green and showery conditions. This Wednesday, July 25, hopefully will see the Final of the Ladies’ Club Triples Competition completed and also a social game for both ladies and men. Last Thursday morning’s ‘Open Pairs’ was won by Bob Moss and Rob Farrell with a 2 + 28 and the runners-up were Joan and Stewart Wilson with a highest score of 15 in the second game. The afternoon game was won by Brian Fogarty and Rob Scullion / Rob Farrell (who played a half game each), with a score of 2 + 26. There was no runners-up prize due to an insufficient number of players.

Saturday saw the Second Round of the Men’s Pennant Season with our Divisions 1 and 5 playing ‘at home’ and Division 4 ‘away’ at Bongaree. Glasshouse Division 1 was beaten by Caboolture Lakes 64 to 54, Division 4 went down to Bongaree 46 to 37 and Division 5 had a 58 to 34 win against Solander Lake. This Saturday, Division 1 plays Beachmere ‘away’, Division 4 plays Caboolture Memorial ‘at home’ and Division 5 plays Narangba ‘at home’.

A Grade went up to Noosa on Sunday which is typically a tough trip and were not disappointed as the Pirates, still in final five contention, played some entertaining footy to win 52-20.The Bulldogs with a few of the under 18’s playing for them were once again gallant and also produced some good footy themselves to push the home side for most of the game. Our Women’s team continued their good form at home by racking up a 54-12 score against Waterford and once again showed some good skills with a few entertaining tries. Next Saturday the Women get their chance to continue to push for a semi final spot against Burleigh Heads 5.00pm at Beerwah while the A Grade and Under 18’s play Nambour also at Beerwah on Saturday at 3.00pm and 6.30pm.
