Connecting the communities of Glasshouse Country and the Blackall Range

Are you bushfire prepared?

While we are well aware of the devastating impact of last year’s bushfires, recent rainy weather may have lulled locals into forgetting that we are once again heading into our bushfire season.

As a reminder, the Mooloolah Eudlo Local Disaster Management Community Sub-Group, along with representatives of QFES Mooloolah Auxiliary Fire Service and Landsborough Rural Fire Service, recently held a bushfire awareness pop-in session at Martin Rungert Park.

The group was able to provide advice and information to community members to Prepare, Act and Survive.

Acting Lieutenant Emrys Pratt, from the Mooloolah Auxiliary Fire Station, said it was important that people did not become complacent about the need to prepare themselves for the upcoming fire season, and to have a fire management plan in place to mitigate risks.

Welcome to our third fortnightly edition of GC&M News. It is still hard for us to get our head around only putting an edition together every two weeks but we seem to have got the hang of it and, of course, we have loved getting positive feedback from locals who are happy the traditional news format has been reinstated!

The tricky part now is trying to work out how we can keep locals up to date with breaking news, what’s happening and events between editions.

We know that the information needs and interests of our readers are quite diverse, so we are looking at ways to best suit those different needs.

Follow us on our Socials

A few of the things we currently have in the pipeline are a new website that will have a stronger news focus as well as creating a weekly mini mag designed specifically to be read on your phone or tablet. We are also keen to set up a Glasshouse Country & Maleny News group for dedicated readers to join and be notified when breaking news items have been added.

And if you are one of our more than 7,000 Facebook likers you will have also noticed we have been a little more proactive with sharing stories, photos and the occasional cartoon on our socials.

Hopefully we can get the mix right and also keep our advertisers happy so we can continue to keep the news coming your way.

Regards,

It’s bush fire season Continued from page 1 Acting Lieutenant Emrys Pratt offered some practical advice to assist locals in their preparation including: 1. Walk around your property and try to imagine what would happen if there was a fire.

2. Consider in advance what steps would need to be taken to be prepared.

3. Your Prepare, Act and Survive plan should include a checklist of ways to reduce potential fuel load around the property, consideration in advance for pets and loved ones, as well as whether to leave, or stay and defend property.

4. Make sure you clean up around your yard and try to have a clear area around your property with no debris adjacent to your home.

of the biggest concerns, especially near a timber door or house.

To find out more practical tips, ways to create a bushfire survival plan and safety advice go to: www.ruralfire.qld.gov.au/BushFire_ Safety/Pages/default.aspx.

5. Roofs and gutters should be cleared of debris to mitigate ember attacks.

6. When assessing and planning for

fire risk be aware of combustible items close to the home.

Little As track damage

Members of the Glasshouse District Little Athletics were devasted recently when they saw the damage caused to their athletic track and grounds at Skippy Park in Landsborough by someone who thought it was a perfect place to teach a child to ride a motorbike.

Club president John Byford (pictured) said that fortunately a local resident who saw the incident taking place reported it to Sunshine Coast Council, which completed emergency remedial work in the days after the damage was caused.

Glasshouse Christian College was booked to hold its annual junior and senior athletics carnival last Monday and Tuesday, August 3-4, soon after the damage had been caused, so swift work was required for the events to safely go ahead.

Cr Rick Baberowski said it was always disheartening to hear that one person’s actions could be felt so widely in the community.

“Community spaces are, of course, available for everyone but let’s be responsible and respectful in their use, and leave them as you’d like to find them,” Cr Baberowski said.

“This is a reminder that we should remain vigilant and report anything that you feel isn’t quite right.”

A council spokesperson said that as soon as council was made aware of the damage to the running track at Skippy Park an urgent onsite inspection was arranged.

“Council officers worked to repair the track as quickly as possible and have raised the matter with the Queensland Police Service,” the spokesperson said.

“Thank you to the community members who reported the damage.”

You can report any dangerous items, hazards or vandalism at Sunshine Coast Council managed parks by phoning 5475 7272. Contact details are located on signage near all council playgrounds or by visiting www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.

No plans for 5G at Maleny site Vibrant mosaic unveiled Sunshine Coast Council has renewed a Telstra lease over a 44m2 space within council depot land on Palm Street in Maleny, giving the corporation continued access to the site until the lease expires on April 30, 2025.

Telstra utilises the leased space to house equipment to support its mobile phone network via its 4G network antennas mounted on the adjacent Unitywater reservoir tower.

According to the report accompanying the council agenda item, Telstra had confirmed it had no intentions to upgrade to 5G technology, at least not within the timeframe of the lease.

Council receives an annual rental payment of $22,500 (exclusive of GST) from Telstra.

The lease agreement was originally drawn up in 2014 when Telstra

determined the location was necessary to improve the mobile phone network accessibility in and around Maleny.

The site was identified by nbn Co in 2015 as a site for a wireless broadband tower, much to the apprehension of many locals against the idea of a powerful electromagnetic emitting tower in the heart of an urban centre. These plans were later abandoned by nbn Co.

Maleny Neighbourhood Centre (MNC) recently unveiled a stunning, vibrant mosaic to commemorate its 25th anniversary. This unique and eyecatching work was the centrepiece at a recent celebration attended by centre supporters, staff and volunteers.

Created through a collaborative community effort, overseen by local artist Brett Campbell, the work featured 124 individually crafted tiles compiled by volunteers, community members and MNC staff.

More than 100 people were involved in the collaborative art project that also served as an acknowledgement and celebration of the incredible work of community volunteers.

MNC president Ian Demack said on behalf of the committee that he wanted to extend his appreciation to Brett Campbell for creating such a remarkable piece.

“I’d like to thank Brett for working with the community to develop such a colourful piece of art. It really draws your eye when you come to the centre and each tile expresses its maker’s relationship with the MNC, so the entire work is incredibly rich in meaning,” Ian said.

The mosaic was funded through a grant from the Department of Communities, Disability Services and Seniors that aligned with the vison for ‘Thriving Communities’. It provides a lasting visual celebration to mark the 25 years the MNC has been an integral part of the Maleny and surrounding hinterland communities, including Bald Knob, Kenilworth, Conondale, Witta, Mount Mellum, Montville, Flaxton and Mapleton.

JobKeeper and JobSeeker keeping local business alive With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to restrict economic activity and normal trade and commerce, many businesses have relied on the JobKeeper program to keep operating and employing local people.

Similarly, many locals have relied on the JobSeeker coronavirus supplement payment to keep their heads above water and this has helped to stimulate the local economy.

An analysis of data provided by Treasury (www.treasury.gov.au/coronavirus/ jobkeeper/data) shows that 1,301 local businesses have been accessing JobKeeper payments to keep their doors open.

The figure comes from applications processed for the April fortnights as at June 3, and relates to the postcodes of 4517, 4518, 4519, 4550, 4552 and 4553, which are the main postcodes within the GC&M News distribution footprint.

According to a website set up by the Australian Labor Party (www.dontcanceljobkeeperearly.com. au) this equates to 4,945 local people

who rely on JobKeeper and means that more than $7,400,000 a fortnight is injected into the local community.

The current JobKeeper and JobSeeker programs remain in place until September, after which changes will be made as announced last week by the federal government.

The test for businesses to qualify for the JobKeeper program will be tightened, with reductions in turnover having to be proven more stringently.

From September 28 to January 3 the JobKeeper payment rate for an employee will drop from $1,500 to $1,200 a fortnight for those who were employed full-time in the four weeks before March 1, 2020.

For employees who were working less than 20 hours a week (on average), their payment will drop to $750 a fortnight.

This will change further from January 4 until March 28, 2021, with the payments reduced to $1,000 and $650 a fortnight respectively.

Similarly, the JobSeeker coronavirus supplement will fall from $550 to $250 a fortnight, meaning people

on the program will receive $815 a fortnight after September until the end of the year.

From September, JobSeeker recipients will again need to prove they are actively seeking employment, although with the dramatic rise in unemployment levels and continuing job losses across the economy, it is unclear what jobs they will be applying for.

Local federal MP Andrew Wallace said that JobKeeper and JobSeeker had kept thousands of businesses afloat and hardworking people in a job and that the announced extension to both programs was welcomed.

“Businesses that continue to suffer a significant decline in income will receive JobKeeper at a reduced rate to reflect the changing economic situation as the economy opens up,” Mr Wallace said.

“The coronavirus supplement will continue for those on income support until the end of the year, while people on the payment will also be able to earn $300 extra a fortnight from work without impacting on the support they

receive.

“These extended payments are going to support all of us to get through this crisis and, as the economy continues to open up, come out the other side stronger than ever.”

Australian Labor Party leader Anthony Albanese has said that the Opposition was likely to support the government’s JobKeeper changes but criticised the program for having left out some sectors.

“The government resisted wage subsidies when this crisis began and then left people behind in its JobKeeper scheme: casual workers, uni workers, and arts and entertainment workers,” Mr Albanese said.

“These announcements do nothing to help them. These Australians will continue to do it tough – and more marketing slogans from Scott Morrison won’t give them any certainty for the future.”

Beerburrum to Nambour rail upgrade starting to move ahead Tenders will be sought this month for the design and construction of stage one of the Beerburrum to Nambour rail upgrade on the Sunshine Coast.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Michael McCormack said the Beerburrum to Nambour project would deliver a vital boost to Queensland’s major north-south rail corridor.

Queensland Minister for Transport and Main Roads Mark Bailey said the major rail upgrade was ready to move off the page and onto the ground in the coming months, creating 333 jobs in stage one of the project.

Proposed works for stage one currently include: • Duplication of track north of Beerburrum • Construction of road-over-rail bridges at Beerburrum Road, Barrs Road and Burgess Street

6

• Expansion of park ‘n’ ride at Beerburrum and Landsborough • Bus interchange at Landsborough.

Early works to support the upgrade are expected to start early next year, with major construction to follow in 2022.

This work includes realigning a 1km section of Steve Irwin Way between Nursery Road and Moffatt Road.

The Australian Government has contributed $390 million and the Queensland Government $160.8 million to the Beerburrum to Nambour rail upgrade.

To see a fly-through of the proposal, check out this video https://youtu.be/gHkFNb4PfOQ. For more information and a video description visit www.tmr.qld.gov.au/b2n.

Ongoing engagement critical

By Lea Parkes The Landsborough Overpass Reference Committee (LORC) met last Thursday, July 30 for a detailed discussion of stage one of the Beerburrum to Nambour rail upgrade project.

The project includes the duplication of the rail line from Beerburrum to Beerwah, road overpasses of the rail line and Steve Irwin Way at Beerburrum and Barr’s Road, a new overpass at Burgess Street in Glass House Mountains and the realignment of the rail line and Steve Irwin Way. The project will also see new a car park and bus interchange on the eastern side of the Landsborough train station and increased parking at Beerburrum and Nambour stations.

The committee noted that there was no mention of a community reference group with the release of stage one.

While not all elements of the project form part of LORC’s mission statement, as it will impact on the wider Glasshouse Country community, they believe that project information needs to

be widely circulated within and across the community.

LORC is also aware that a business case needs to be developed for stage two, which still requires the necessary funding to continue with the rail duplication and associated infrastructure from Beerwah to Nambour.

LORC resolved that ongoing engagement with the community was paramount but they cannot “do it alone”.

As with all important community issues Glasshouse Country & Maleny News will continue to share, follow and report on the plans and actions undertaken by the Queensland Government in relation to the project.

To ensure residents can stay informed all information that relates to the project will be published on the LORC website at http://landsoverpass.com.au/.

LORC prides itself on being nonpolitically aligned while endeavouring to seek the best possible outcome for the whole community − businesses, residents and visitors.

A brief brush with stardom

By Sonia Clark Earlier this month we featured a story on the community collaboration behind the filming of a short historically based film ‘Blind Faith’ by acclaimed scriptwriter Carmel Joyce. The short film, currently in post-production, was shot around the Maleny area in June and featured input from numerous locals.

One local hinterland photographer, Marsha Lindenthal, found to her incredible surprise that instead of her usual position behind the camera, she was asked by Carmel, who was also the producer/director of the film, to take a role in front of the camera.

Marsha said her brief brush with stardom happened spontaneously and unexpectedly. She said she had turned

up on behalf of the Maleny Historical Society to document the filming at the Maleny Historical Village.

When introduced to Carmel, Marsha said the producer/director seemed taken by her exotic features and asked if she had any Aboriginal heritage as one of the film’s characters was based on a real woman referred to as Auntie Mary. It was decided on the spot to cast Marsha as the character previously written as just a voice-over role. Marsha had just two hours to learn six different lines.

Marsha said although she only had six lines in different scenes, it took from 11am until nearly 4pm to complete.

“It was tiring but a fun experience, especially as Carmel was very good at guiding me as a novice actor,” she said.

Being in front of the camera was a little nerve-racking and Marsha had to try very hard not to look at the camera or the production crew and to just focus on remembering the lines.

“It was seriously harder than I thought to be an actor! I was a bit intimidated by the professionalism of some of the other cast and crew, so I was a bit nervous as it was my first time acting,

Local photographer Marsha Lindenthal found herself in front of the camera for a change

but it was a wonderful experience,” Marsha said.

Carmel said that as soon as she saw Marsha she immediately realised that she would make a terrific visual representation of the Auntie Mary character.

Marsha said she enjoyed every minute of the experience and hopes the movie will make it into local film festivals as it was filmed in Maleny and featured fact-based Sunshine Coast stories.

Business News Industry stalwart retires

By Sonia Clark Local travel industry professional Gillian Mills, from Maleny Cruise and Travel, has decided to retire after a remarkable 50 years in the industry.

For the past 30 years, Gillian has successfully operated her Maleny travel business. She said the time was now right to gracefully transition to the next chapter of her life.

Gillian said it has been an absolute privilege to be of service to people over the years.

“I’d love to extend my gratitude to everyone who has shared their enjoyment, experiences and personal stories of travel with me,” she said.

“I feel extraordinarily grateful to have been part of this tremendous industry as well as thankful for the friendships and opportunity to meet some truly wonderful people.”

Gillian firmly believes that travel enriches people’s lives and broadens their horizons, and while she acknowledged that she had been fortunate enough to see a great deal of the world over the decades, she appreciated there was so much more to see.

“It’s been a fantastic ride, and frankly working in this industry has allowed

me to have some of the best times of my life, she said.

“I would Gillian Mills probably need another 50 years to see all the places in the world I’d still like to visit.

“It’s been wonderful to share the excitement of travel with my clients and I thank them for the trust they’ve extended to me.”

Although Gillian has now closed up shop, she will still continue to support current clients who may require assistance.

“If people need me I’ll still be around, and even though I’ve closed the business, I won’t be deserting any of my clients who still need help to return home, rebook or refund under the current post COVID-19 climate.”

Gillian can still be reached on the old office number 5499 9111, which she has diverted to her home. No doubt many people in the community and beyond will want to wish Gillian well on her well-earned retirement.

Showcasing local products and produce

By Sonia Clark Local tour operator Judy Tomlinson is passionate about sharing her love of the Glass House Mountains and surrounding region. She wants to encourage local producers, manufacturers and artists to reach out so she can showcase their work as part of her new ‘tour with a local’ venture.

Judy said she would like to have a diverse range of local producers to potentially call into as part of her bespoke tour service.

“I’d love to have manufacturers of products, farmers, cooks, artists such as painters, potters, crafters, photographers, Indigenous artists or local metal workers reach out so that I could build up a network of local interest to excite visitors to our region,” Judy said.

She also hopes people who may have interesting hobbies or businesses will also get in touch.

One of the advantages of being an owner/operator with a small van is that Judy can tailor the tours at short notice to satisfy the interests and curiosities of her guests.

“For example, earlier this year I took a lovely farming couple from Illinois out on a tour but the thing that really put a twinkle in their eyes was a visit to Hillside Tractors in Glass House Mountains, as they were truly fascinated by the difference in these tractors compared to their own back home,” Judy said.

While tourists love to learn about the Glass House Mountains, the Indigenous histories and sites, and the types of food grown in the area, being able to pop into a farm and speak with the farmers is a great treat.

“People love to find out more about how things are grown and when are they harvested, as well as where they can buy the produce locally,” she said.

“I would like to call in on farmers growing pineapples, macadamias, custard apples, ginger, persimmons,

Mapleton author shortlisted for national award

By Sonia Clark Award winning Mapleton author and historian Russell McGregor has had his latest book, ‘Idling in Green Places’, shortlisted for the prestigious 2020 National Biography Award.

The book, which took Russell more than three years to research and write, documents the fascinating life of pioneering naturalist and conservationist Alec Chisholm.

Although this is Russell’s fourth solo authored book, this was his first published foray into biographies and he was greatly honoured to have achieved the distinction of being shortlisted.

Russell said that when the shortlist was announced it was a bit nerveracking to have such recognition but after a day or so he was able to feel quietly excited.

“It’s a real honour to be selected as one of the six shortlisted entries from 89 submissions and I’m very appreciative of the recognition,” Russell said.

With the winners announced at the end of August, Russell’s book is a contender for the main award as well as a secondary award category for Best Debut Biography.

The biography was primarily based on his extensive research into the Alec Chisholm papers located at

Mapleton author Russell McGregor the Mitchell Library in Sydney. The collection of papers included more than 50 boxes of material!

“Although the book was released late last year, I was originally awarded a fellowship at the library in 2016 to do the research,” Russell said.

“I also had to investigate a lot of other documentary collections and read heaps of stuff that Chisholm published as he was a really prolific writer. I was inspired to write it because I’m interested in both environmental issues and in history, and Alec Chisholm shared those interests too.” he said.

The book is available through the publisher’s website at https://scholarly.info/book/idling-ingreen-places/.

Staff reviews

Liane Moriarty ‘Three Wishes’ This is for lovers of the sublime and slightly over the top domestic drama genre with lots of humour and reassuring togetherness. One of Liane’s earlier works (before she became famous with ‘Big Little Lies’) this is so very charming, focussing on the lives of three very different sisters. If you want light and lovely for a bit of COVID escape, I recommend ‘Three Wishes’.

Patricia Stahl, Beerwah Library supervisor

Joanne M Harris ‘The Gospel of Loki’ This is a retelling of the rise and fall of the Norse gods from the perspective of Loki. Loki is far from the strongest god in the Pantheon but he is funny, devious and an unreliable narrator. What else can you expect from the trickster god?

Defibrillator donated to the community

By Sonia Clark Members of the Beerwah Sportsground Management Committee have gratefully accepted a new community accessible defibrillator, with funds made available through a Rotary initiative. Recently the new, potentially life-saving defibrillator was presented to the committee members, with representatives of the hinterland cluster of Rotary clubs and the Rotary district governor Neil Black in attendance.

Rotary Club of Glass House Mountains secretary Ian Hope said the presentation was made on behalf of all the clubs that make up the Rotary hinterland cluster, including Maleny, Nambour, Nambour76 and Woombye/ Palmwoods.

“We are very pleased that the initiative will make a defibrillator easily available at a popular location in the Glass House Mountains area,” Ian said.

“The decision to purchase a defibrillator for the local area through Rotary district funding was made by the presidents of the Rotary hinterland cluster earlier this year.

“We thought that as the Beerwah

Sportsground was a facility used by many people both in the local and broader community, it would provide a great location for the unit.

“The equipment was delivered in April but obviously with all the restrictions on gatherings we had no chance to make the presentation until now,” Ian said.

Beerwah Sportsground Management Committee president David Weil said the donation of a new defibrillator for use by the community was a fantastic gesture by Rotary.

“The local rotary clubs have been extremely generous over the years and this is yet another great example of their continuing commitment to the community,” David said.

“We are very appreciative of the donation and it’ll be great for the community to be able to access this vital piece of equipment in event of an emergency.”

Plans are currently being finalised on the best location for the defibrillator to be mounted but David suggested that it is most likely the unit will be located near the sportsground toilet block for ease of access.

Open mornings at Mooloolah Public Hall Recent refurbishments to the Mooloolah Public Hall are almost complete and the hall committee is keen to share with the rest of the community how great the building looks now.

Mooloolah Public Hall Committee secretary Bev Smith said committee members would be available to chat to interested community members about hire of the hall and event or community use possibilities on Tuesday and Saturday mornings during August.

“Due to COVID-19 restrictions, any plans to throw the doors open in community celebration have been scaled back.

Instead we are looking forward to having welcoming open days throughout August for public and community viewing and interest,” Bev said.

The hall committee has just received confirmation that it will receive another grant from Sunshine Coast Council to seal off under the building as the next project.

Melody was surprised to find out about her award nomination, which was put forward by store manager Owen Grey.

Melody said she had no idea she would be put forward for the award.

“It was lovely that they considered me, though I was surprised to be singled out as we have so many great workers here at the IGA,” Melody said.

“It’s made me feel very appreciated, yet I also feel quite humbled to be nominated.”

Owen said that since returning to work at the IGA in late 2018, Melody had been a pleasure to work with and was a well-respected and hardworking team player and leader who was equally committed and loyal to the customers, IGA team members and the overall business.

“I believe Melody is a perfect example of what the Rotary Club award is all about. She takes pride in her work consistently, day in and day out, without complaint. Her positive influence on the multitude of people that cross her path daily also deserves acknowledgement,” Owen said.

Melody said she was always happy to go the extra mile for her customers,

fun for her team members, as well as being positive in her interactions with people.

“I think it’s very important to listen to people and act in a way that you’d like to see done yourself,” Melody said.

“I think the personal touch is important and it’s also how I would like to be treated if I was a customer.”

The Pride of Workmanship award will be presented at a special awards night dinner on August 29.

Hinterland Heritage

With Sonia Clark

Robert and Isabella Fullerton One very well-known family name around the Glass House Mountains district is Fullerton, a dynasty intrinsically linked to large scale pineapple (and other produce) farming around the area. This week we revisit the story of the arrival of Robert and Isabella Fullerton in the area.

After seeing posters inviting people to emigrate to Australia and enticed by colourful brochures depicting sunny Queensland, in February 1911 Robert and Isabella Fullerton, along with eight of their children (their nineth child Alister was born in Australia), decided to leave the dreariness and cold of Glasgow, Scotland for a brand new life in South East Queensland.

Fullerton family members taken outside the family home Dunnottar in 1928

By 1913, Robert had purchased a 160 acre property near Beerwah Mountain.

However, concerned by the potential hazards of flooding, he nominated for land selection of another 160 acre block situated a couple of miles from Glass House Mountains, on the eastern side of Old Gympie Road.

The family, minus the two eldest children Isabella (Bella) and Hector, arrived at Glass House Mountains in June 1914. Isabella along with younger children Margaret, John, Willie and Alister were welcomed at the railway station by one of the district’s pioneers, Mrs W Burgess, whose father had built Bankfoot House, and later that day Robert arrived with Rob junior, Jim and Roy on a goods train loaded with their stock – an old horse, two cows and a calf – to start their new life.

The family settled at their selection, which they called Dunnottar; as the shape of the nearby Ngun Ngun (Rocky) Mountain was reminiscent of the historical castle at Dunnottar Rock in Scotland. Later this would also be the name of the family home built in the late 1920s, which still remains in the family today and is currently the home of Ken and Sue Fullerton.

Robert and Isabella Fullerton at their property Dunnottar in Glass House Mountains 1925 In the early years on their selection, after the backbreaking work of clearing about two acres of standing timber, Robert planted his first pineapples. He also planted seedling citrus trees and small crops such as rosella, capsicums and tomatoes. Little did he realise that these early plantations would evolve into dynastic family farming ventures that would span more than 100 years.

By 1916, the family had assimilated into the local community with four of the children attending the Glass House Mountains State School, where Robert was also member of the school committee. He was also a committee member in the district’s first progress association, going on to become a guarantor and trustee for

the establishment of the School of Arts. Robert and Isabella were also instrumental in the establishment of the Glass House Mountains Sports Club and later the building of the Glass House Mountains Presbyterian Church.

Over the years, the family extended their farm and by 1918 12 acres had been opened up for cultivation including a banana plantation at the property Ventura near Beerwah Mountain. In later years this also became a pineapple farm. Over the following years Robert and Isabella’s children went on to establish farms and ventures of their own and in collaboration with other family members.

The Fullerton family were heavily involved in the establishment of the United Fruitgrowers Co-operative Association in Glass House Mountains in 1924, and later the Coochin Creek Fruitgrowers Association in 1936.

Today more than 350 descendants of Robert and Isabella are no doubt proud of the adventurous spirit and hard work of their forbearers, who contributed greatly to the economic, social and community fabric of the area.

Living - Music Winter Blues drive-in concert a winner Judging by the positive feedback from performers, volunteers and those who attended the inaugural Winter Blues drive-in concert at the Maleny Showground on Saturday, July 18, the night was a great success, with organisers keen to make the concert an annual event.

Organised through the Rotary Club of Maleny, event coordinator Paulette Steele said everyone had a fabulous time, with a great atmosphere both inside the pavilion where the stage was set up and outside where attendees could watch the performers on a big screen from the comfort of their car.

“All the bands were really excited to have the opportunity to get up and play in front of people again. It was such an adrenaline buzz for everyone who performed and the audience just loved it,” Paulette said.

“I don’t think we all realised just how much we missed the thrill of live music - it was such a great vibe inside and out.

Everyone had smiles on their faces.”

The organisation of the concert was made all the more remarkable by the fact that the event took just five weeks

to pull together. With around 320 people

attending, catering from Hotel Maleny, numerous performers and the concert live streamed to a massive 50m2 LED screen (apparently the largest mobile one in Australia), it was quite a logistical feat to achieve in a relatively short period.

Paulette said she was grateful for the unwavering support from Rotary as well as the dedicated skillsets brought to the event by Rotary volunteers, including the logistical support of Chris Brooker, risk management by Rick Vickers, Sunshine Coast Council liaison by Greg Williams and event sponsorship drive by Melinda Martin.

The concert quickly sold out for the inside pavilion allocation and Paulette estimates around 60 car spots were sold outside. She said all up it was a superb night that went off really well.

The only complaints were that the tickets and drinks were too cheap!

While organisers are hoping to make the concert an annual drawcard, they have not ruled out the possibility of staging a similar warmer weather event at the end of this year – so watch this space!

Music Today

Tom Richter, Lexie Appelman, Siena Cameron and Shelby Johnson

Accidently on Purpose warms up Winter Blues Emerging local band Accidently on Purpose was thrilled by the opportunity to perform live to a large crowd as the warm-up act at the recent Winter Blues drive-in concert.

The four-piece ukulele group consists of Maleny High School students Shelby Johnson and Siena Cameron, Beerwah High School student Lexi Appelman and their music teacher Tom Richter, who originally encouraged the girls to come together to form a group.

Tom, an accomplished musician in his own right, said the girls all played a variety of instruments and had all attended lessons with him for years. At last year’s Sunshine Coast Uke Festival he invited his three students to jump up on stage with him as part of his solo act.

“Halfway through my solo set, I invited the girls to get up and we played ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’, which got a standing ovation, so we kept going and the group evolved from there. I probably should have got them up at the end of my set,” Tom jokes.

Since then the group has performed at Ricks Garage Palmwoods, Maleny RSL, Spruke Uke Festival 2019 in

Brisbane and even the Blue Mountain Uke Festival in February this year.

Unfortunately, several other planned performances this year had to be cancelled due to COVID-19 but the chance to perform recently at the Maleny Showground was a welcome opportunity to strum and sing their stuff in front of an audience.

Vocalist Shelby said it was exciting to perform at Winter Blues and it was nice to see everyone come together to share their love of music, as well as being great practise to perform live and experience being real musicians.

“It was fun to be on the big screen with lots of people commenting on how good we looked on stage from the big screen. I personally think we looked better through the screen then on the stage,” Shelby said.

She said another special highlight for the girls was the chance to interact with other bands backstage in the green room and having their names on the door of their own room backstage was very cool! https://www.facebook.com/ Accidentally.On.Purpose.Band.AOP/

Music - sound organised in time The word music comes from the Greek word mousike meaning “art of the Muses” and described various activities associated with music. The sound of music itself was defined back then as tone running horizontally as in a melody, or vertically as in a harmony.

Today we might consider that music is something pleasant we listen to, but of course that would limit the range of what we define as music.

One person’s pleasant is another’s unbearable, middle of the road, elevator music.

What we might think of as music of genius today, for example Beethoven’s Grosse Fuge Op. 133, for string quartet, was criticised as “not being

music” when it was written.

John Cage threw the cat amongst the pigeons in the middle of the last century when he proposed music was simply sound in time − that the rustle of the wind in a bamboo grove is music. I can see a lot of sense in his argument. The sound of the wind and the rain I can find beautifully musical.

If needing to define music, however, mine might be “organised sound in time”. That then could include the wind if one considers there is an overall organising power in the universe.

What I’d like you to take away from this little read today is the contemplation of the sounds around us that most of us don’t think of as

music. If you sit quietly, with eyes closed listening carefully, a vista opens before you. The poignant rasp of a crow in the distance is striking.

Space becomes of prime importance as do dynamics. Perhaps a car in the distance moves from one side of your head to the other, growing in level then falling away. Pitch at its base level of low, medium and high becomes more relevant than in tune, and how do you describe the colour or timbre of the sound. Is it harsh or soft and warm?

Does it matter – words are only pointers anyway? And when things are quiet you start to hear the air itself.

What is that crackling sound? Is that electricity in the air? Well, yes. The

air is electrically charged through a process known as ionisation and causes molecules to become charged and collide. It’s these collisions in the air that are audible.

Returning to John Cage, we note his experience sitting in an anechoic chamber (a dead quiet space in which all sounds are absorbed). Cage heard two sounds, one high and one low.

The sound engineer on duty informed him that the high pitched sound was that of his nervous system, the low one that of his blood in circulation.

Now that requires good listening ears (as my music teacher friends might say)!

Have a delicate listening month.

Metal in the Mountains Who would have thought there was heavy metal in the mountains? Well, over the coming weeks, Glasshouse Mountains Tavern will become a mecca for metalheads and those who like their music a little harder, faster and louder.

A series of Saturday night gigs featuring a diverse line up of heavy rock, metal and punk oriented bands is planned for the tavern.

With restrictions easing, now more than ever may be the time to get out and show your support for local musicians and the live music scene, which has certainly taken a hammering over the past few months.

Damian Kelly, venue manager at Glasshouse Mountains Tavern, believes live music, post COVID-19 lockdowns, has definitely had “a raw ticket”. He is committed to throwing his support behind reinvigorating the live music landscape with several bands booked to play at his venue over the coming weeks.

“We just want to support the great talent available locally, as well as encourage the music industry we have,” Damian said.

“While international acts are unable to tour here, this is great opportunity for local bands to show their worth.

“Regardless of genre, we should be supporting our musicians and bands as much as possible in the current climate.”

Damian has been involved in the heavy metal scene for several years and when he’s not managing venues he plays in the band Death Plague, which will also be playing during August at the tavern.

While a love of heavy metal music is obviously close to Damian’s heart, he’s keen to promote all genres of live music

Have your say Death Plague will be one of the bands featured on August 8 and encourages people to come out and support bands.

“We get people of all ages coming along to our gigs at the tavern. Generally the crowd is aged from their early 20s through to their 40s.

“Everyone is friendly and it’s a great chance to get out and experience something a little different locally on a Saturday night,” Damian said.

Over the coming weeks on Saturdays August 8, 15 and 22, the Glasshouse Mountains Tavern will offer some mega metal and heavy rock oriented line ups for just $10 entry, with all proceeds from tickets going back to the bands. To find out more check out www.facebook.com/ glasshousemountainstavern.

Health &Beauty Why do we need good sleep?

With Kali Gray Most people know that sleep is good for us. We feel so much better after a good night’s rest and intuit that sleep is healthy.

However, the benefits of sleep are so much greater than simply feeling better the next day! In addition to bouncing out of bed with more energy, here are just a few of the beneficial things that happen while you slumber: • The glial cells in your brain are ‘flushed out’, helping to dispose of plaque. (This may help to explain the protective benefits of sleep against Alzheimer’s disease).

• Memories are organised and consolidated.

• New skills are not just consolidated but actually enhanced. (A well documented phenomenon among musicians and athletes.)

• Creative insights and connections are made.

• Immune cells are activated helping your body to deal with infectious disease and certain cancer cells.

PSP

Health & Fitness

• Many repair and healing systems do their important recovery work.

• Adenosine build-up in the brain (which causes the feeling of sleepiness) is removed, helping you to wake refreshed and alert.

Most experts agree that adults need eight hours of sleep each night. You can get better quality sleep by establishing a night-time sleep routine, keeping your bedroom cool, limiting blue light exposure before bed and having a light carbohydrate-rich snack for supper.

Hinterland Families Sharing her love of nature

By Sonia Clark Beerwah local Debbie Ives recently introduced GC&M News to inspiring childhood educator Mary Cullen, who offers a unique early childcare experience through Nature Play Queensland on her one acre hobby farm in Beerwah.

Originally from Southgate in London (and still retaining her lovely accent), Mary moved to Australia from the UK in 2003 and spent time on the coast before relocating to Beerwah in 2016. She was fortunate to purchase a beautiful property with an array of natural wildlife, which exists in harmony with her animals including goats, sheep, chooks and Molly the kelpie.

Mary said the move to the property inspired her to create a child care program with a unique difference − combining her passion for nature with holistic child care.

“I found a niche in the industry where my care environment focusses on nature play and animal interactions − my two favourite things! It is beautiful to watch the bond and relationships children form with the animals,” Mary said.

“These interactions also play a valuable role as a calming influence to assist children settle into their care environment, as well as a way to build a sense of empathy and respect in the children.”

Having worked in the early childhood education and care sector for more than 15 years, both here and in the UK, Mary is a qualified educator as well as a practice mentor/coordinator for a family day care scheme.

“I’m an approved provider for Nature Play Queensland. Their mission is to increase the time kids spend in unstructured outdoor nature play and is founded on the understanding that unstructured play is fundamental to a full and healthy childhood, a principle that aligns strongly with my own beliefs,” Mary said.

She is keen to provide a selection of natural and wooden resources to encourage children to satisfy their curiosity and activate their senses.

“I believe that natural resources are perfect for use in play when children are developing their creative and critical thinking skills.

“Our animals also play a major role in the daily curriculum as children

Mary Cullen learn basic animal husbandry skills through caring for them by feeding, collecting their eggs and cleaning their enclosures,” Mary said.

“I am a passionate advocate for exposing the children to the world’s oldest living culture and we have formed a relationship with Christine Stuart, of the Gubbi Gubbi people, and begin each day with an Acknowledgement to Country.

“We also use Aboriginal language to address one another, provide the children with Indigenous resources and

facilitate workshops hosted by Christine.

“Children have the opportunity to enjoy activities like painting with ochre and are able to learn more about the Gubbi Gubbi people of our local area.”

Mary said she feels very fortunate to be able to follow her passion and loves the fact she has been able to create a different style of quality child care that has proven to be valued by the local community.

Five-year milestone for autism support service

By Sonia Clark Landsborough-based education and support service All About Autism recently marked its five-year milestone and director Lizzie Vaughan is delighted at how the service has flourished since its inception.

The unique program offers children with autism a small weekly group session, run by specialised educators, focussing on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) specific learning areas.

Lizzie said the service tapped into each child’s areas of strength and weakness and supported them through focussed teaching.

“We use structured teaching systems, differentiated activities, visuals, lots of proactive movement breaks, sensory tools and clear routines, and allow for processing time, while teaching understanding and acceptance,” Lizzie said.

Children who attend the weekly half day or full day classes are encouraged to build up their social, emotional and executive functioning skills with the aim to support them strengthening their connection to learning at school.

Initially Lizzie worked on her Lizzie Vaughan own supporting six children in pre-prep and prep. Now a team of four teachers cater for 40 children from pre-prep to year 5 and next year they will be expanding into sessions for year 6 students.

Lizzie said demand for the service had increased and the feedback from parents had been amazing.

“So many families are happy to find a place that is supportive and understanding. We have been praised for our communication, keeping parents informed and involved, and for offering a service that isn’t provided anywhere else on the coast,” she said.

They also run school holiday workshops, parent and professional development training and have worked with more than 25 Sunshine Coast schools to support them in understanding ASD and sharing strategies and tools that they can implement in their classrooms.

From the churches So many bad things have been done by men, women and organisations who claim to be Christian. Religious wars were even called “holy wars” – a contradiction in terms. I can picture Jesus sitting with his head in his hands saying, “They still don’t get it!”

Perhaps we do not love ourselves therefore we have lost the capacity to love others. Or fear has replaced our capacity to love. Yes, there are very real dangers out there from individuals, groups, corporations and ideologies. We are not taught to become complacent sitting ducks but to have the willingness to consider where these forces come from and how best to deal with them.

Humans hurt because they have been hurt. Countries can be driven by people and ideologies that are at best destructive GLASSHOUSE COUNTRY

and at worst downright wicked.

This leaves us with a dilemma – how can we love all people? How can we deal with the hurts in our own lives?

Lewis Smedes in his book ‘Forgive and Forget’ explores how we can forgive those who have hurt us and move forward, not hampered by the constant rush of anger or fear. It is not instantaneous but in stages; we hurt, we hate, we heal.

Marge Stathakis Glasshouse Uniting Church healing. Forgiveness is a hallmark of our healing. Jesus said on the cross: “Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing!” (Luke 23:34) How can God “love the world”? We are often more compassionate when we can ‘see’ what a person has gone through, what they had to face in their lives and why they have reacted so violently or negatively. God knows every detail of our lives and He is aware of our struggles from birth to death. His compassion and mercy is endless. God does not change.

The Bible tells us “For God so loved the world…” (John 3:16). God loves all people; may He give us the ability to do the same.

Youth justice

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is not logical or useful.

So it defies belief that the LNP thinks that continuing to lock kids up is going to make any difference to the complex issues around youth offending.

We all want safe communities but criminalising children as young as 10 is not appropriate or effective.

There is a mountain of evidence showing that what stops recidivism and a lifetime spent in and out of the criminal justice system is early intervention.

There are wonderful programs such as the Indigenous-led Mona Horsemanship Program in Mount Isa, which shows giving kids life skills, a sense of purpose and self belief is what stops crime.

Locking kids up does not serve the children themselves or their communities. There are no benefits to this approach, only harm, and all the evidence shows it’s an extremely inefficient use of taxpayer resources.

I am not OK with our money and resources being used to harm children instead of supporting them to lead a fulfilling life.

Instead of putting young children behind bars, governments could fund community-led solutions and programs that focus on supporting families and have better outcomes for both children and their communities.

Perhaps the LNP should get smart on crime instead and advocate to raise the age to match the best practice of so many other countries around the world, and stop using our time and money on harming children and communities with their facile tough on crime rhetoric.

Railway upgrade

I was encouraged to learn that the upgrade of the railway line between Beerburrum and Nambour will begin early next year. Sunshine Coast residents have been waiting for this upgrade for a long time. Park ‘n’ ride facilities at Beerburrum, Landsborough and Nambour stations will also be expanded and a new bus interchange built at Landsborough.

We need to see more cooperation between different levels of government to serve the needs of Sunshine Coast residents.

Well done to the Palaszczuk government for working cooperatively with the federal government to get this project under way.

Thomas Whitton Eudlo

What’s important

Your 22 July edition of GC&M News beautifully summarised what is important to us. The Greens are passionate about stopping bad development (puppy farms) by not accepting corporate money at all.

We are driven by local economies thriving but with current government policy settings favouring big corporates over small business and normal people, what can we expect? (Beerwah misses out).

Maleny is fighting hard to repel the onslaught and power of big corporates (Maleny Money). Meet the Producer is a wonderful new addition to GC&M News to highlight localisation.

Our planet needs us to reduce food miles, so please buy local produce!

Isabel’s letter perfectly reflected our attitude towards art, humanities and education, as did Gillian Pechey’s insights into koala and land management (You Said It, July 22 issue).

And, of course, we celebrate young

people who have more wisdom about nature than our current leaders (go Poppy!). All that good news tarnished by our Glass House sitting member’s completely tone-deaf views and attempt at a public fear campaign on youth crime. Youth crime is a result of a fractured society not about slack laws and detention. I was a youth worker once. I know.

Thank you GC&M News for reflecting our changing world. How ‘bout we change our politics to reflect this on October 31?

See www.greens.org.au/qld/plan for a future for all of us.

Andrew McLean Greens candidate for Glass House

What discussion?

Cr Baberowski’s response to the article titled ‘Beerwah businesses miss out on post-COVID travel boom’ in the last issue of GC&M News is clearly misleading. He stated: “Council has since held discussions with the [Beerwah Sportsground] management committee regarding proposed future

recreational activities”.

There was an email from council to the management committee on June 26 with the decision letter attached outlining the outcomes of council’s supposed review and giving an “option” to prepare a “documented proposal”, followed by two phone calls to clarify their meaning and then one or two more emails pushing for this documented proposal.

Is this to be taken as council holding “discussions with the management committee”?

Beerwah Sportsground Management Committee is still waiting for meaningful discussion with council officers. Why will they not meet with us? Why have they not contacted us during this so-called review process?

Why must both the grounds and the community suffer for the sake of council’s newly interpreted or suddenly imposed restrictions?

You Said It continued Tower switched on

I just wanted to share that on Tuesday, July 28 the new Telstra 4G mobile tower, so desperately needed for the folks off Mt Beerwah Road who sit in the shadow of Mt Beerwah, was switched on.

My husband and I have farmed and run a business online from our home on Judds Road for seven years and have been in a total communication blackspot the entire time. But not anymore!

It is impossible for anyone who takes mobile signals for granted to understand how debilitating it has been for the past seven years and our daily lives are completely transformed by the new 4G access.

I advocated very hard to get this tower and I am grateful particularly to Andrew Wallace for his support to ensure it was built.

Federal Member for Fisher

State Member for Caloundra Local news is important

PM visit Prime Minister Scott Morrison visited the Sunshine Coast last week to see the impact the government’s JobKeeper program is having on our local businesses. Currently 20,400 employers on the Sunshine Coast are surviving with JobKeeper’s support and it was great to be able to show the Prime Minister how we have been affected locally.

Unlike his last visit when the Prime Minister stopped in Beerwah and Glass House Mountains, this time he was forced to cut short his trip to deal with the situation in Victoria before I could take him to Australia Zoo but I’m looking forward to taking him back to the hinterland again soon.

Café Now opeN

I am committed to being a federal member who listens to you, now more than ever. So in August I am once again riding my pushbike all around our community holding listening posts in Landsborough on August 17, Glass House Mountains, Peachester, Beerwah and Conondale on August 18 and Maleny, Montville and Palmwoods on August 19 during my second Tour de Fisher. I want to hear all about the issues that are important to you during this on-going COVID-19 outbreak and what will make the biggest difference for you during our region’s economic recovery. I will be joined at the listening posts in their respective electorates by your hard-working local state members Andrew Powell (Glass House) and Brent Mickelberg (Buderim) along with Stuart Coward, the LNP candidate for Caloundra. Please find details and register to attend at www.andrewwallacemp.com.au/tourdefisher.

I want to congratulate the GC&M News owners and staff for the fact that, despite many regional newspapers shutting down including those on the Sunshine Coast, they have maintained both their online and hard copy editions.

Lea, Greg and their team faced serious challenges due to COVID-19 but they were determined to continue to deliver a quality service, not just online but in hard copy.

They have now returned to an alternate publication style with fortnightly print editions as well as online content available throughout the month.

This is providing an enormous amount of news and information to residents.

In Caloundra there is only an online newspaper.

Though many people will read it there are many others who will not. When I first became the State Member for Caloundra there was a publication entitled ‘City News’ and the proprietor went under the name of Kenny Koala. This was a local publication that dealt with concerns in Caloundra and provided information to locals on Caloundra issues.

I’m not saying online publications are not worthwhile − indeed they are − but there are many people who do not have access to the internet nor want to access their news online. There are many who would like to sit down with a cuppa in the morning and read the newspaper cover to cover.

Perhaps there is somebody who could follow the example of GC&M News and start to put together a publication that achieves this outcome on the other side of the Bruce Highway. Local news is very important because it is what drives local matters.

The Glass House Small Business Awards (Glassies) were scheduled to be held in May this year. However, after discussions with local chambers of commerce and due to government restrictions, the pause button was hit on the original schedule. However, the time is finally here! COVID has been so harsh on our Glass House communities and our small mum-and-dad businesses have really copped the brunt of it, having to shut their doors, adapt their business models and learn new skills overnight.

Now more than ever small businesses need our support. Between August 11 and September 8 you can show them just how much they mean to you by voting for one of the many businesses or employees nominated in July. Head to www.andrewpowell.com. au to submit your votes today.

Mobile office recap This month I held 22 listening posts in five days across the Glass House electorate. I hit the road and visited Woodford, Delaneys Creek, Mount Mee, Rocksberg/Moorina, Upper Caboolture, Wamuran, D’Aguilar, Bellthorpe, Conondale, Witta, Glass House Mountains, Beerwah, Peachester, Beerburrum, Elimbah, Montville, Flaxton, Mount Mellum, Mooloolah Valley, Eudlo and Ocean View.

The most common questions people raised with me were around the new Bradfield Scheme, the Sunshine Coast rail duplication, local planning matters and the SEQ regional plan, and COVID. I also had some interesting enquiries such as an invite to attend a disaster information evening in Conondale and a request to do some research into different ways tyres can be collected and recycled.

The festive season is a special time when we enjoy community celebrations, family gatherings, lights, carols and more. Council supports celebrations by sponsoring, managing or making grants available for events across the region. We are reviewing the festive season program for 2021 and onwards and would like to hear your thoughts. Complete the survey at https://haveyoursay.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/festiveseason-review. The survey closes on August 7.

Managing cats and dogs We are preparing to update the domestic animal management (cats and dogs) strategy for the next 10 years and we want to hear from you, whether or not you are a pet owner. We understand people have different connections with pets. They are more than just a pet for many and are part of the family. Some people prefer places that are pet free, others may not have a pet but still enjoy being around them in places such as dog off-leash areas. Share your thoughts at https://haveyoursay.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/dams.

The survey closes on August 30.

Gallery celebrating 20th anniversary Caloundra Regional Gallery is turning 20! To celebrate, a special exhibition of works has been drawn from the Sunshine Coast Art Collection. Take a walk down memory lane along a timeline filled to the brim with images and documents mapping the history of the gallery. See which works made the director’s cut from past and present gallery directors, plus all the Sunshine Coast Art Prize winners from 2006 through to 2019. The exhibition is on display from August 7-October 4.

Division 5 Sunshine Coast Council

Well done to the 21 Division 5 community organisations that have benefitted from the council’s second round of COVID-19 community response grants.

Round two attracted 104 applications from throughout the Sunshine Coast that were awarded a combined total of more than $435,000.

These grants offer targeted financial assistance to community organisations impacted by COVID-19 by providing assistance for operation and maintenance, continuity and connectivity, capacity building and facility improvement.

You can find more about how council is supporting our community through COVID-19 by visiting our website www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.

Sports field maintenance Congratulations to the local sporting bodies approved for council’s annual sports field maintenance funding program.

The clubs that will receive funding each year for the next three years in Division 5 include Mooloolah Hinterland Churches Soccer Club, Palmwoods and Western District Junior Rugby League Football Club, Palmwoods Cricket Club, Palmwoods Warriors Football Club, Range United Churches Soccer Club, Witta Recreational Club (rugby union) and the Woombye Snakes Football Club.

The council’s 2020 sports field maintenance funding program was endorsed at council’s ordinary meeting on July 23. It offers funding to not-for-profit community organisations who have maintenance responsibility of community sports fields throughout the Sunshine Coast local government area. The intent of this program is to partner with sporting organisations to enable them to maintain their facilities to competition level and keep their grasses greener and in tip-top shape.

Keeping connected Please keep an eye on my Facebook page for the latest Division 5 news and information. Visit www.facebook.com/winstonjohnstondivision5scc.

Meet the Producer Producers name: Brendon Hoyle Farm name: Ashbern Farms Farm location: Beerwah/Glass House Mountains and Stanthorpe Years of operation: Four years Strawberry season is here and I was lucky to chat with proud local farmer Brendon Hoyle about his experiences growing this delicious fruit.

Brendon grows strawberries in Glass House Mountains and Beerwah at Ashbern Farms, a company he and his wife Ashleigh have co-owned with longtime friends and business partners, Jon and Bernie Carmichael, for the past four years. However, they have actually been growing strawberries together for the past 15 years, having previously owned a farm in Palmview.

No stranger to farming, Brendon grew up on a farm in Zimbabwe (a tobacco and rose farm) before relocating to Australia in 2004. Brendon trained in agriculture and moved to central Queensland for two years working on a cattle farm before moving back to the coast to follow his interest in horticultural farming.

Ashbern Farms has two locations – one in Glasshouse Country and the other in Stanthorpe.

How big is your property/crop?

“We have two farm locations – one here in Glass House and Beerwah (we’ve got fields and packing facilities in both) that we farm during the winter months, and one in Stanthorpe that provides our summer crop. We produce all year round and supply to agents in Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and

With Jennifer Kent

Brisbane.

“Our winter crop usually produces around 1.5 million berries and around 500,000 with our summer crop.”

What do you love about farming?

“I love the challenge. Being able to produce something from scratch and having people enjoy something that we’ve loved creating. It’s also a constant learning experience as we work the ground, harvest and sell. Every season comes with new hope and with new challenges but we’re always looking to better ourselves and it’s very rewarding when we see positive results.”

Brendon has been a long-term grower of organic strawberries, which he explained comes with its own set of challenges. With each season comes different encounters with pests and disease and they have adapted the way they farm to accommodate for different pressures associated with the changing seasons.

“We introduced integrated pest management as part of our management of pest and disease and use a few agronomy tricks to ensure the plants stay healthy during season,” Brendon said.

“We space our plants to ensure they are aerated and they are positioned to be north facing to ensure they receive as much sun as possible to keep the plants dry. We spend a lot of our time with the pickers to ensure the plants have good airflow and ensuring they’re healthy. Strawberries are a notoriously hungry crop, so their nutrition is paramount.”

Unlike a lot of fruits, different varieties of strawberries are often not easily identified but there are several Sunshine Coast bred varieties that Brendon is proud to produce such as red rhapsody and scarlet rose.

Where can we buy your berries?

“We supply to Woolworths and Aldi, so you can pick up a punnet from any stores including our organic variety.”

Make sure to look out for the Ashbern Farms

Brendon in the strawberry patch logo when picking up your strawberries.

Brendon’s tips for growing strawberries As it turns out my little potted strawberry plant isn’t doing terribly well. Brendon explained that it’s important they are kept aerated as they don’t like humidity and that they are positioned in a sunny spot. They’re very hungry plants, so Brendon said it’s important to feed them well. The biggest challenge for home growers, he laughed, is often getting them before the birds do! I can attest to that.

“Every season comes with new hope and with new challenges… it’s very rewarding when we see positive results.”

Horoscopes

Week beginning August 9

with by Tanya Obreza

Week beginning August 16 www.tanyaobreza.com

LEO July 23 – August 23

AQUARIUS January 21 – February 18

Some of that old magic is back Leo. If dreams can come true, they’ll do so now. And don’t expect it to be a solo journey.

You’re ready and able to contact every friend you’ve ever made on this beautiful planet. This is what happens when you’re left unsupervised during your birthday season – pleasure takes priority. Simply, enjoy.

The basis for success is independence and you’re now ready and capable of going it alone. The ability to tune into almost any situation has always been your special gift but even more so now as you interact in a way that impresses others.

As a direct result doors previously closed will open, revealing fabulous new opportunities.

VIRGO August 24 – September 22

PISCES February 19 – March 20

The go-getting progress you’ve been experiencing continues. Although you crave rest, continue to push ahead and don’t shy away from the occasional risk – some may be worth taking. You also realise that letting others mistreat you is a form of self abuse, something you’ll no longer tolerate. Live your truth Virgo.

Should the early week bring agitation or frustration, particularly at work, maintain your ability to stay detached. Higher-ups are watching how the situation unfolds. Rise above petty conflicts and you’ll soon rise over competitive colleagues. By week’s end, calm returns, along with a soaring sense of selfworth. Perhaps an increase in cash flow, too.

LIBRA September 23 – October 23

ARIES March 21 – April 20

LIBRA September 23 – October 23

Like it or not, sometimes the best things happen when they’re least expected. Sure, there may be issues to deal with but you’re likely to find that each one is relatively minor. Be patient too in matters of the heart; there’s no hurry for a decision.

A change of living arrangements could also either frustrate or delight you.

Some Librans may have been party to unnecessary conflict lately. Don’t get duped into becoming the reluctant ally. While others might have ideas on how you should spend your valuable time, just go your own sweet way, especially if you’re caught in someone else’s emotional tug-of-war. And if it all turns too nasty, make a run for it.

TAURUS April 21 – May 20

SCORPIO October 24 – November 22

Watch out, Taurus. Boundaries could be blurred this week as Mars continues to stir your house of illusion and secrets. Your sexual mojo could be muted. The twelfth sector also rules the past, so stressed planetary activity here may also bring up painful memories or resentment. If necessary, rid yourself of whatever’s outmoded or unproductive.

This week friendships win over intimacy but don’t assume that love has left you off the guest list. The pace of social events picks up but without the negativity of troubled emotions. Mars fires up new hopes concerning work. If this results in increased authority you won’t mind. When placed in charge you’re very much in your element.

GEMINI May 21 – June 21

SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 21

Right now you have strong ideas about what you want done and when. That’s great but a bit of tact wouldn’t go amiss either Gemini. This isn’t the best time for tackling contentious issues head on. If your emotions are feeling unruly, send them off to the sin bin where they can run riot without doing harm.

If anyone’s capable of talking themselves into profit this week, it’s you. And during a time when money takes priority you’ll be relying on the gift of the gab. Meanwhile, Mars swivels his hips rather provocatively, pretty well ensuring rumpled sheets. And what does it matter if it’s love or lust? This week allows you the courage to be yourself, with little apology.

Being different sometimes involves taking risks and this week the planets dare you to do just that.

Romance − possibly with someone older − may be formed as a direct result of work or travel. If you feel inclined to mix business with pleasure the merger should prove mutually pleasing − financially or emotionally. It’s a week to simply enjoy.

CANCER June 22 - July 22

CAPRICORN December 22 – January 20

CANCER June 22 - July 22

This week’s focus is on teamwork and by cooperating with others you should achieve much more than usual. Do your best to resolve long-standing problems but avoid putting others on a pedestal. Remember, the higher they are the further they have to fall. A potential lover becomes a best friend instead.

SCORPIO October 24 – November 22

Timing is the word of the week. Trouble is you’re feeling impatient. However, there’s an important deal brewing and the cosmos is pretty sure you have a personal invitation to the whole shebang. Just wait until you’re sure the moment’s right. Check, double check, then check again.

Don’t start acting like the rest of the airheads on this planet.

SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 21

Time for some lateral thought Sagittarius. Instead of hurriedly grappling for difficult or, perhaps, unattainable aims, stop rushing and take the time to look at things from a different viewpoint. There’s still much to learn, and living by a new set of rules or being open to new experiences could be just what you need.

CAPRICORN December 22 – January 20

The week promises love, when warm and uncomplicated company goes a long way towards creating happy memories. Don’t worry yourself too much over minor problems. In time, most issues resolve themselves. Self-discipline may be low but that’s not so bad. You work hard for those you love, so take time out to simply have fun.

If feeling insecure, don’t. You judge yourself way too harshly Cancer. You really can be your own worst critic, most of the time not even realising just how loved and needed you are. It’s time to reconnect with like-minded souls and set some new plans in

motion. A little self-confidence can go a long way.

Life finally starts to move forward.

LEO July 23 – August 23

Ever been struck by love at first sight? First thoughts usually go to possible happily-ever-afters but sometimes a strong friendship is all that’s meant to be.

Whatever the case, someone new holds the promise of staying very special. Better still, you’re ready to offload a fair few recent problems or inhibitions.

VIRGO August 24 – September 22

The urge to merge intensifies as sultry Mars shimmies into your seductive eighth house. Simmering chemistry comes to the boil and you now see your partner for better or worse − and you react with a raw intensity you seldom enjoy. If a partner is a tad jealous you might actually like it, seeing it as evidence of love and devotion. Passions soar.

This week tests your sense of stability. Financial uncertainty features so avoid get-rich-quick schemes. The same goes for former lovers who might stray back within reach. It would be wise to remember why you broke up in the first place. If you’re trying to lose weight boredom is your worst enemy, so avoid snack attacks by keeping on the go.

AQUARIUS January 21 – February 18

Some Aquarians look to the future.

Others live for the day. It’s the past that usually gets a bad rap. Not so now.

Many of you feel dewy-eyed for love gone by.

Amazing too how the minute you think of someone, they make contact or show up out of the blue. Synchronicity, perhaps?

PISCES February 19 – March 20

Although your spiritual values continue to evolve don’t forget to stay in the moment. Right now the greatest awareness will happen not when your head is floating in the cosmic clouds but when your feet are firmly on solid ground. No matter how enlightened you are, there are still dishes to wash, emails to send and bills to be paid.

ARIES March 21 – April 20

You finally reap the rewards for having lived a little more frugally.

This week improved finances should allow some small indulgences and a quick break isn’t out of the question. What’s more, everyone’s aware of how truly wonderful you can be. If looking for love, you may be taken by surprise while gazing in another direction.

TAURUS April 21 – May 20

Foresight has its place when it comes to success but this week finds you trying to second guess the future. End result? A whole heap of ill-founded conclusions, some of which are just plain wrong. For now, leave prophecy to the psychics. The cosmos also advises more care with financial matters as not everything may be above board.

GEMINI May 21 – June 21

It’s essential to keep calm at work over the next few days. Don’t waste energy wondering where you’re going or what you should

be doing. You covered that ground already. Just keep your eyes fixed on the distant horizon and do whatever you must each day to grow closer, inch by inch, to your destination. Stay focussed Cancer.

In the Garden Jobs for the yard in August Keep your strawberries fruiting with a fortnightly feed of fish and seaweed solutions.

• It’s a good time to fertilise and prune hibiscus so they develop a bushy habit and produce lots of flowers in summer.

• If you have a vege garden don’t forget to water once or twice a week. Although it’s cooler, the drier winter winds will drain the moisture from the soil.

• Spray the flowers of your mango tree with a copper-based spray to fight anthracnose disease.

• Plant your new roses now. Bagged and bare-rooted roses are in plentiful supply.

• Fertilise your existing rose bushes by mulching around them with cow manure.

• If older leaves of citrus are going yellow give them a dose of sulphate of ammonia.

• Prune any untidy geraniums.

Water in a handful of complete fertiliser around each plant.

• Plant potatoes and sweet potatoes in the vegetable garden. Mound up soil around potatoes already growing.

• Divide and replant perennials like gaillardia, gazania, rudbeckia and statice.

If you’re growing pineapples, give them a side dressing of complete fertiliser in late August. They like acid soils, so avoid using lime or dolomite.

Vegetables

Plant carrot, lettuce, radish, beetroot, capsicum, celery, cucumber, eggplant, beans, pumpkin, silverbeet, spring onion, choko, squash, sweet potato, tomato, zucchini, broccoli, Asian vegetables, cabbage, peas, spinach, coriander, rocket and turnips.

Too cold to be planting?

with Spencer and Karen Shaw A question we are often asked is: “Should I be planting at the moment? Isn’t it too cold?”

Although frost may be an issue in some areas, our generally benign climate and great soil moisture levels, plus the fact that it’s great doing outdoor work in the current 20 degree or just below temperatures, make it a prime time to plant! Get ahead this winter by planting the things you notice when they are in flower that can sometimes be hard to get. Plant them now so you can enjoy their beautiful flowers all the sooner, such as Hovea, bacon and eggs bush, paper daisies, mint bushes, NSW Christmas bush, golden penda and many more.

It’s also a great time of year to be improving your soil with mulching and fertilising. With our great range of organic supplements such as sugar cane bales, Katek Not Just Mulch, Katek Super Booster Fertiliser, etc, and great prices we can help you.

Our 4L plants are becoming increasingly popular, helping you get bigger plants for great prices for these advanced rainforest specimens. The popularity of fruit trees has also grown dramatically and we’re keeping a great range to help you produce a garden that helps give you great food. Come for a winter wander today and check out our great range, with something for everyone.

Ask Brownie Photinia problem We recently planted lilly pillies and Red Robin Photinias around our fence to provide privacy. The plants range in age from six to 12 months. The plants are evenly spaced 60cm from the fence and 110cm between each plant.

Planting began in August through to November last year with regularly watering (via an irrigation system) four times a day on one minute per cycle.

We planted the Photinias using a hand trowel amount of native potting mix and gypsum clay breaker. The type of soil we have is clay and loam (no sand). They get full sunlight for most of day.

I fertilise with Seasol seaweed solution spray once a week and a hand trowel amount of native potting mix every six months.

Recently some of the Photinias have begun to turn yellow with red blotching around the edges of the leaf (see photos). Can you please tell me what is causing this problem?

Is it too much water or not enough?

Is it possible for the plants to stop going yellow and blotchy without using chemical intervention (ie, let nature take its course and over time correct itself) as I have children and a dog?

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Paolina Hall Photinias have a well-deserved reputation as tough screening plants but they are just as susceptible to problems as other garden plants.

Photinias can be affected by a viral spot disease called Photinia leaf spot, although this doesn’t seem to be the problem with your plants as the leaves would have brown spots that grow in size.

The yellow colour is a better indication of the problem, especially as it seems to be advancing up the plants from the bottom.

Yellowing of the leaves, especially when it happens between the veins with the veins staying green, can signify that there is a deficiency in iron and manganese. Leaves going yellow can also signify a lack of nitrogen.

This prognosis is strengthened by the news that you used a native soil mix in the planting hole and are regularly feeding with a seaweed-based solution.

Native soil mixes are great for grevilleas, banskias and other sensitive natives but exotic origin plants like

Photinias, which originate from across the Asian region, and some hardy natives like lilly pillies do better with a regular garden blend soil. It’s likely the roots have been confined to the planting hole and so are still feeding from that soil mix.

Seaweed solution is a great soil conditioner and builds the plants’ defences against pest and disease but it isn’t the source of macro and micro nutrients that plants need on a regular basis.

So you may need to apply a trace element fertiliser to correct the imbalance. You can use one you sprinkle on the soil or one you mix with water and apply.

However, before you do that check the soil pH with a simple testing kit available from one of the local hardware or rural supply stores or nurseries. Photinias prefer slightly acidic

soils (so pH 6-6.5). Soils with a higher or lower pH could lock up nutrients and make them unavailable for the plant roots to absorb.

Next thing to check is the soil moisture

level. Photinia likes it on the side of a little dry rather than having wet feet. They prefer good drainage with regular deep watering while they are establishing, like yours are, but not continuously wet.

Your watering regimen of four times a day for one minute sounds excellent, so it’s probably not a water issue but to be sure, just check how wet the soil is.

The trace element treatments are safe for your kids and pets, so there are no problems with trying that … you’re not going to cause any other problems.

On an interesting note, some species of Photinia have poisonous leaves if they are eaten. Luckily for you, Photinia Red Robin is not one of these.

Sunshine Coast in Top 5 Regional Hotspots in Australia A recent report from the Regional Australia Institute (RAI) listed the Sunshine Coast in the five most popular regional areas in Australia based on the number of people relocating to the area. Second only to the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast recorded an increase of 52,739 new residents between 2011 and 2016 and was the second most popular regional area for citydwelling millennials seeking a lifestyle change.

Real estate experts also highlight the Sunshine Coast as one of the best places in Australia for property investors due to a lack of housing, tight rental market and rapidly growing population.

John McGrath states that the Sunshine Coast is blessing investors with some of the best returns on offer.

36

Recent results from McGrath Estate Agents attest to the popularity of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland for buyers from Brisbane and other parts of regional Queensland with small acreage proving particularly popular. We have had a noticeable surge in sales and buyer enquiry over the past three months with new listings presently unable to keep up with buyer demand. For property owners who’ve been considering going to market, the current real estate climate is ideal for achieving a premium price in a short amount of time.

If you would like a market appraisal of your property or if you’d be interested in the possibility of an off-market sale, please feel free to contact Cassi for a confidential discussion on 0415 304 127.

Being a good landlord ultimately means, being a good business owner.

A good business owner invests significant time embracing good strategies and practices, is financially savvy, good at planning and budgeting, values their staff, is innovative and constantly evolving and changing with the times to stay ahead of their competitors. If you view your tenants as your customers (staff) and your property as your business, then your approach will often change to the benefit of both you and the tenant.

Trades & Services Directory Talkin’ Trades with Surebuilt Constructions Born and raised in the country, David Bethune and his wife knew that one day they wanted to return from busy Brisbane to enjoy a more laidback lifestyle. It was four years ago that they found just the place to do that – right here in Peachester.

David, a builder with decades of experience, owns and runs Surebuilt Constructions and oversees an expert crew covering all types of jobs – big and small.

From large scale renovations through to odd jobs around the house, David’s experience and passion for the industry is admirable.

Over the years David has been involved in several major specialist renovation projects. Last year he and his team completed a $1.2 million renovation that included adding a lower level to a 1932 brick home in Brisbane’s Ascot. David said while it was quite a project, he equally loved completing smaller jobs for his clients.

“Taking the time to listen to my clients and working with them to ensure the end product is what they want has, and always will be, important to me as a builder,” David said.

An easy bloke to get along with, David works with his clients from conception and design, right through to project completion.

Regardless of the size of your job, he’s happy to help with your building and reno needs – big and small.

Sport BeeGees

Contributed by Jodie Morgan Another great weekend of football for the Beerwah Glasshouse United Football Club packed with home games, the big Bunnings barbeque fundraiser, barbeque on the top field and the Chris Carter Memorial match with NYU FC! Our women’s team also came away with wins on our 52nd BeeGees club anniversary.

Mini-roos teams are really getting in and learning new skills and having fun on our top oval. Some U11 white and green teams were so excited to be invited into our premier men’s change room pre match to talk football, watch their warm up exercises, play a mini game in front of a big crowd and then walk on with our premiers for the minute silence in the Chris Carter Memorial match.

All the boys had an awesome night and we hope it has inspired them to become future senior football players for our club.

Competitive team scores U12 girls 1–1 Cooroora FC, goal: J Simpson, player of the match: Stephanie Robinson U12 boys 1-2 to Coolum FC, goal: H Jones, player of the match - Ethan Howland

The Range Croquet Club Prem U11 U13 boys 3-3 Gympie FC, goals: B Shepherd (2), C Besalo, player of the match - Carl Besalo U14 girls bye.

U14 boys 7–0 Woombye, goals: J Kaukereit (3), J Howland (4), player of the match – Jack Howland U15/16 boys lost 1–4 Grammar FC, Goal: J Clarke BeeGees reserves women 3-0 Woombye reserves, goals: OG (1), C Anderson (2), player of the match Tyrah Shatford BeeGees prems women 12-0 Woombye prems, goals: G Dixson (4), D Archer (4), K Matthews (2), C Anderson (2), player of the match Tijana Ljubisavljevic Division 3 women bye.

Contributed by Ken Barker Play in the division four club championship is drawing to a close.

At the time of writing, Priscilla Vickers appears to have an unbeatable lead. The participants − Priscilla, Wallace Roy, Helen Uhlmann and Janelle Wilson − have all acquitted themselves well.

Helen and Janelle deserve a special mention as this is their first tournament.

On Sunday, July 26 Vince Carbery, Kath Smith, Donna Manning and Priscilla played a game of doubles in which Vince and Priscilla, with Vince giving a master class in hoop running, beat Kath and

Donna 10-4, before a threatening sky prompted an early finish.

Play days are Thursdays and Sundays.

Arrive at 1pm for play at 1.30pm.

Contact Sarah for other days. Supervised practice is available on Saturday mornings at 8am on our excellent lawns, 200m in on the right side of the Maleny Showground.

Witta Tennis

Contributed by Pauline Fraley Wednesday, July 15: After four months of no competition due to COVID-19, Witta Wagtails welcomed the return to competition tennis. The girls played some excellent games with one set taking more than an hour for a win by the Wagtails. However, congratulations go to Nambas Champers who came out the winners on the day. The Wagtails’ team was Gerry Gabriel, Cynthia Garvie, Sheryn Golledge and Jan Maguire.

Friday, July 17: The Whistlers had the bye. The Wildcats hosted Yandina East Sliders. It was great being back on the court and we all had a bit of difficulty getting our heads back in the game. It was great tennis and Pauline Fraley, Annie Stewart, Libby Howlett and Stacey English came out firing and kept the momentum up to bring home the win.
