Hi Everyone...

This week’s cover features Maleny Garden Club members June and Bill Dunn who have generously agreed to open their garden as part of this year’s Gardening on the Edge.

The couple have a beautiful 2½ acre property with an acre of garden beds and an acre of lawns that are obviously quite a lot of work to maintain but so clearly bring them great joy.

Being able to meet with the garden owners before the big event, and have our own one-on-one guided tour of the garden, is definitely a perk of the job and it is really wonderful to hear the story of the garden’s history firsthand.

If you love gardening or just like looking at gardens, you won’t want to miss the opportunity to check out Gardening on the Edge this year.

It is a wonderful event and such a great fundraiser for the whole community.

Each year the Garden Club donates the funds raised over the weekend to local community groups.

If you are heading along, keep an eye out for Brownie who will definitely be in his happy place – a garden.

Regards,

on the Cover

Wander through this tranquil garden or just sit by the peaceful lake and watch the gaggles of friendly geese, herons, waterfowl and parrots. Set on one acre, the garden has a wonderful variety of beautiful flowering plants, a vegetable garden, and sculptures dotted throughout. As you wander further on you will find the fairy del fairies visiting the garden, giving you an opportunity to take some fairy magic home with you.

A bare paddock eight years ago, the formal plan was to design a number of rooms where each contained its own feel. Apart from the rose gardens and camelia zones, other rooms include forest, meadow, fruit orchard, courtyard and pond.

Gravel paths and lawn strips allow the garden to reveal itself slowly, offering viewpoints that give pause for surprise at the contrasts of texture and colour.

Local News

AT SPICERS

Residents gather to talk crime prevention Locals came together last week at a park in Glass House Mountains for a crime and policing community barbeque and discussion.

The event was an initiative of Glass House Mountains residents Roger and Lea Garner following the traumatic home invasion they experienced recently.

In March, the couple were awoken by four armed and hooded home invaders demanding gold and money.

The vicious thugs assaulted Roger and ransacked the house before making off. Inquiries are continuing but no arrests have yet been made.

The community gathering to talk about crime prevention was hosted by Andrew Powell, the Member for Glass House.

Mr Powell explained that the purpose of the event was to gather community members who may be interested in resurrecting the Glass House section of the Glasshouse Country Neighbourhood Watch (which operates out of Beerwah).

“It was fantastic to see so many members of the community join the Garners and me for our community crime barbeque,” Mr Powell said.

“And, excitingly, quite a few immediately put their hand up to join the Glasshouse Country Neighbourhood Watch.

“I will continue to press the state government for more police but it’s great to see the community taking steps to increase and improve their awareness of crime prevention.

Their next meeting will be on Tuesday, June 11 at 2.30pm and they are always keen to welcome new people.

Maleny shows Sam some love Sam Johnson, winner of the 2019 ‘Dancing with the Stars’, 2017 Gold Logie Award winner and talented Australian actor, visited Maleny on a chilly Sunday morning with his pop-up mobile market to raise money for his Love Your Sister (LYS) foundation.

Sam and his sister Connie started the foundation on New Year’s Day 2013 and Sam’s goal is to raise $10 million in a battle that he describes as vanquishing all cancers with hard science. Connie died in September 2017 of cancer and Sam has continued the work of the foundation.

The funds LYS raise go to the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, which is also undertaking genome research with the Lions Childhood Cancer Foundation to identify the genes causing childhood cancer.

So not surprisingly Maleny Blackall Range members jumped at the chance to cook up support for Sam’s visit to Maleny, with a very tasty sausage sizzle, with

Lindsay Stewart, of the Lions Club, presented Sam with $1,000 from the club as well as the funds from donations from the sausages.

While Sam was in town he also popped into Maleny Art Direct with artist Vanessa Perske, who currently has her Red Dirt exhibition on show.

Vanessa has previously thrown her support behind the foundation with profits raised from the sale of her Barry Emu and Gerry Giraffe prints going to LYS. The prints can be purchased by going to https://loveyoursister.ecwid.com.

A glittery glance into the Glassies

Member for Glass House Andrew Powell announced the winners of his annual Glass House Small Business Awards at the Glassies Gala event held at the Beerwah Hideaway during Small Business Week (May 27-31).

The event was a glitzy night where small business owners and employees got together with Mr Powell and the local chambers of commerce to celebrate all that small business is and does for the region.

Mr Powell said this was the fourth time he had run the Glassies and an extraordinary number of votes were received with more than 3,000 in total.

“While the silver glassy is chosen based on the number of votes received, the bronze and gold are selected by myself and the chamber presidents.

It was extremely difficult to choose those winners due to the quantity and quality of those nominated,” he said.

The winners of this year’s Glass House Small Business Awards are: Montville Bronze Business: fudgyboombahs - The Home of Montville Fudge Silver Business: Laurisha Jewellery Bronze Employee: Adam Knight from Sweethearts Café Eudlo Silver Employee: Hayley Stanton from Secrets on the Lake MALENY Bronze Business: The Maple Street Co-operative Silver Business: Maleny Veterinary Services Bronze Employee: Jane Berg from Hotel Maleny Silver Employee: Debbie Thorne from Maleny Veterinary Services GLASSHOUSE Bronze Business: Peachester Café Silver Business: Matthew James Metal Arts Bronze Employee: Gemma Webster from 3 Diva's Café Silver Employee: Rebecca Mackintosh from Beerwah Kindy GOLD WINNERS Business: Ray White Wamuran Employee: Hayley Stanton from Secrets on the Lake

Brain research project for Alistair A maths major who coded his own games on his first computer in the 1980s scored a perfect grade point average of seven out of seven when he recently graduated from the University of the Sunshine Coast with a Bachelor of Science.

Montville’s Alistair Kerr, 43, received a University Medal for his academic achievement and is now contributing to brain research at the USC’s Sunshine Coast Mind & Neuroscience Thompson Institute as he studies for an honours degree in science at USC. He also works as a mentor to Indigenous students and tutors in physics at USC. “My interest in IT began when my family got its first computer, a Microbee 64K, in the 1980s and I taught myself BASIC (an early programming language) to create small choose-your-ownadventure games,” Alistair said.

“It further developed in the summer break after year 10 when I taught myself Turbo Pascal (a software system) from books and practise because I did not have internet access.”

Alistair gained an OP1 from Burnside State High School and topped his maths II class. In 1998, with an IT degree from the Queensland University of Technology, his career in software engineering took off.

He worked for companies such as The Aeronautical Design Service on the Sunshine Coast and in Bundaberg, where he developed automated software testing for light aircraft certification.

Alistair returned to study at USC a few years ago to explore a lifelong love of mathematics and to find other ways of contributing to society.

He joined the Mathematicians of USC and a social chess club, and enjoyed lectures and one-on-one interactions with maths lecturers such as Dr Aaron Wiegand and Dr Robert McDougall, who gave valuable feedback.

“My ultimate career goal would be to make a useful contribution, no matter how big or small, in humanity’s quest for the stars – or planets,” Alistair said.

His current research is part of the Longitudinal Adolescent Brain Study (LABS), a five-year project monitoring changes in the brains of participants aged 12-18 years using regular brain imaging and neurocognitive assessments.

Based at the Thompson Institute at Birtinya, the study aims to understand the factors affecting the mental health of young people and develop evidence-based youth mental health programs.

Caring for the Hinterland community for over 20 yrs

Beerwah intersection set for upgrade Crews are ready to hit the ground running on the $2.5 million upgrade to the intersection at Steve Irwin Way and Roys Road in Beerwah.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said works would start next week on major resurfacing at the intersection.

“The Palaszczuk Government is delivering more than $2.9 billion in roads and transport infrastructure for the Sunshine Coast and greater North Coast region over the next four years,” Mr Bailey said.

“This is a key intersection for the Beerwah community, providing access to the Bruce Highway, Woodford, Kilcoy and the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

“This upgrade will drive road safety forward for the thousands of motorists who use Steve Irwin Way each day and will complement that $812.5 million Bruce Highway upgrade from Caloundra Road to the Sunshine Motorway," Mr Bailey said.

Works will be carried out between 6pm and 6am to minimise impacts on motorists and residents as much as possible.

Traffic controllers, reduced speed limits and road signs will be in place to ensure the safety of motorists and road workers.

Motorists should observe all signs when approaching the road works.

Glenview waterpark update The long-awaited water park (called Actventure) on Steve Irwin Way at Glenview is back on the radar, with fresh development application changes submitted to Sunshine Coast Council last week.

In a fresh submission to council, the developer, Sanad Capital, has applied to amend the development application (MCU14/0098.02) to reflect recent changes under state legislation.

In a cover letter, the developer’s town planning consultants (Adams and Sparkes) noted that they had discussions with the State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA) and that, in their opinion, council now had less control over the approval than prior to the changes.

“It is noted that the provisions of the former Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009 have now changed under the Planning Regulation 2017,” they wrote.

“This change has resulted in the application now

07 5494 0766 EMERGENCY APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE

requiring referral to the State Assessment and Referral Agency, which will subsequently reduce the matters council are required to assess.”

It appears that the developer is preparing for onground action. The cover letter said: “We would also appreciate council’s expedited issue of the confirmation notice, so that the necessary referral to the state can be made. We note that timing is critical, as our client is intending on lodging the next stage within the coming weeks, so we greatly appreciate council’s cooperation.”

The developer also continues to dispute the amount of stormwater infrastructure charges imposed by council under the original approval, which is currently before the Planning and Environment Court and is due to be heard again after June 1.

Results of the court case will be published by GC&M News as they come to hand.

Trevor Stewart

Captain Trevor Stewart recently retired from the Mooloolah Fire Station, just shy of a 35 years of service.

Friends, family and colleagues gathered for a surprise farewell party at the Mooloolah Valley Country Club on Saturday, May 25 to mark Trevor’s significant contribution to the local community. GC&M News caught up with Trevor to find out more about his time with the Mooloolah Auxiliary Fire Service.

Q: What can you remember from when you first started?

The Mooloolah station covered an area from Eudlo to the north and Glass House to the south.

The area was so large that Beerwah was brought on line. We were notified of a fire call by a large siren on the roof of the station going off. This generally woke the whole town up!

Q: When did you become a captain?

I took over the role of captain in 1986.

Q: Could you explain the ‘living within five minutes distance to the station’ rule?

It has been a requirement to reside, or work, within five minutes transport to the station.

This is to have a response time within standards.

This requirement is probably the biggest problem in recruiting staff, as in small communities such as Mooloolah there is not much industry or employment in the area to draw recruits from.

Q: What are some of the more memorable events the service has been called to over the years?

The large bushfires in 1991 and 1994 were large protracted incidents that took many days to control. Also, the Nambour fires in 1987 where four churches and a book store were set alight by an arsonist almost simultaneously. Also memorable were two trips interstate to help with bushfires in NSW and Victoria.

Q: Do you have a particular memory as a firefighter that stands out for you?

No one thing in particular but the road accidents are probably the jobs you don’t like being called to, particularly the ones you remember the consequences of.

Q: How has the equipment changed over the years from when you first started?

The biggest change has been to personal protective equipment. The standard of firefighting ensemble and the use of modern breathing apparatus has made a huge difference. The continual modernisation of the tools used in firefighting has made the work safer and more efficient.

Q: What are some of the main differences/ changes at the station from when you started?

Technology for sure. Communication systems and the use of net-based information both on the fire ground and for training.

Q: What has been the most rewarding part of your job over the past 35 years?

For sure it would be the community engagement.

From teaching fire safety to grade one children, to people visiting open days at the station, the work of a firefighter has been to be proactive and to inform and educate the public in all areas of fire safety. As a station we always participated in community events and even facilitated a few ourselves. (Who could forget the Christmas lolly run, sadly now ended when it became too big - a victim of its own success!). The comradeship within the station crew and families, and just the fact that what we do as a branch of emergency services can make a difference to people is reward enough. Being an auxiliary firefighter can be rewarding, exciting and fun. I can recommend it to anyone thinking of joining their local brigade whether it be urban or rural.

Community News From Death Valley to the Sunshine Coast In a coup for the Glass House Mountains-based Run Queensland event, the Blackall 100, elite ultra-marathon runner and ‘New York Times’ best-selling author Dean Karnazes will compete this year.

Hailed by ‘Men’s Fitness’ magazine as one of the fittest men on the planet and by ‘TIME Magazine’ as one of the top 100 most influential people in the world, Karnazes has pushed his body and mind to inconceivable limits.

Among his many accomplishments, Karnazes has run 350 continuous miles, foregoing sleep for three nights. He has run across Death Valley in 49ºC temperatures and run a marathon to the South Pole in minus 40ºC temperatures.

On ten occasions, he has run a 200-mile relay race solo racing alongside teams of 12.

His most recent endeavour was running 50 marathons in all 50 US states in 50 consecutive days, finishing with the New York Marathon, which he ran in three hours flat.

Sunshine Coast Council tourism and events portfolio councillor Jason O’Pray said Karnazes would create a terrific buzz at the event, which will take place on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Walk on October 19.

“We’re thrilled that Dean Karnazes will be competing in this year’s Blackall 100,” Cr O’Pray said.

Participation in this gruelling event has grown steadily since it began in 2014 and it has been recognised for its tough and technical trail, being

Year 8 Beerwah High school student Indy Munro headed across the ditch to New Zealand in April as part of the under 14s Aussie Diamonds softball squad for the Auckland Easter Classic tournament.

Even though the competition is New Zealand versus Australia, it came down to two Australian teams in the grand final with Indy's Aussie Green team defeating the Aussie Gold team 3-2.

Indy said she had a fantastic time making new friends from all over Australia and New Zealand, and developing her skills as an athlete.

Indy, who has been playing softball since she was eight, was part of the U12 Queensland School Sport team at the ages of 10, 11 and 12 and she also made the U15 Queensland team at age 12.

In August this year she will also be traveling to Japan with an U18 Queensland squad.

Congratulations Indy on an amazing effort!

Neighbourhood Centre history celebrated

The building that is home to the Glass House Mountains Neighbourhood Centre will celebrate its 80th anniversary on Saturday, July 13, from 10am–2pm.

To mark the significant milestone, there will be a display of photos and memorabilia, memories shared of the good times had in the building, music, a big cake, face painting, food stalls and plenty of opportunities for people to reunite over Devonshire tea and scones.

The building was originally the St Columbus Presbyterian Church at Glass House Mountains, so it is likely there are photos in family albums of weddings and christenings around the area.

Information is being sought about the building and photos of it throughout the past 80 years.

If you can assist with information to help compile the building’s history or be involved in organising the event please contact the Neighbourhood Centre on 5438 7000, email admin@ghmnc.com or find the centre on Facebook.

Focus on sustainability

27 JUNE 10 AM - 1 PM

Denese Brookes, owner of The Healthy Guru, is committed to ensuring the Beerwah business maintains a strong focus on sustainability – through the products they sell and the business’ instore practises. Denese says that as a business owner and community member, she is keen to promote the benefits of sustainability and the need for more eco-friendly products and practises.

“Whatever we can do to focus on sustainability is important. We need to put less stress on our environment, recycle more and use more natural products that have less environmental impact,” Denese said.

With this in mind, Denese has been keen to stock even more eco-friendly products that are healthier for people and great for the environment! Kin Kin Naturals is a fantastic range of all-natural cleaning products that work.

The Sunshine Coast family owned and operated company has a comprehensive range of ecofriendly products that offer uncompromised cleaning free from toxic ingredients. One of the key benefits of the range is that the product residue is safe for waterways as well as gardens, greywater and septic systems.

Other great products stocked at The Healthy Guru include compost-a-pack bin liners, and fruit and vege bags that offer a sustainable alternative to plastic bags. Denese says regular bags can have a huge environmental impact and so she is pleased to be able to offer a fully compostable alternative, certified to completely breakdown with organic waste.

Eco-friendly hair and beauty products are also proving very popular, with both the Gypsy Rose range of untainted hair products and the Eco Minerals range of vegan cosmetics gaining a devoted following of users. The Gypsy Rose range was originally created by a locally based hairdresser who was looking for a personal solution to her own issues with illness and skin conditions caused from over exposure to hair dyes and synthetic shampoos/conditioners. Realising that many of her clients were experiencing the same issues she developed the best-selling range, which is 100% Australian owned, uses raw Australian ingredients, including GMO-free coldpressed oils, and 100% essential oils.

Denese says she loves that the range of Eco Minerals vegan cosmetics is made using minerals from the earth and that it feels beautiful on the skin. “I also love that all their refill products come in recyclable sachets and that their products are pure and toxin free,” Denese said.

The danger to the environment of single-use plastic straws – especially ending up in waterways and oceans – has been well documented. To help combat what many suggest is an environmental disaster, you can do your bit for the planet by purchasing reusable straws. The Healthy Guru stocks both bamboo and stainless-steel straws.

Also popular are wax wraps for wrapping school lunches and snacks, with the store stocking the Api-wrap range of small, medium and large envirofriendly wraps. Denese says that other popular products instore include coconut fibre scrubber pads for body and foot care, and vegetable

scrubbers that keep the skin on vegetables to retain vital nutrients and fibres. If you are keen to see other sustainable products instore visit the team at Shop 3, Beerwah Marketplace or follow them on Facebook for updates.

Outspoken is Maleny’s extended literary festival that takes the form of on-stage interviews with writers. On Tuesday, June 25 the second Outspoken event for 2019 will be held at the Maleny Community Centre featuring the author of ‘Stasiland’ and ‘All that I am’, Anna Funder, and will introduce local Maleny author Mary Garden.

Before turning to writing full time in the late 1990s, Anna worked as an international lawyer for the Australian Government focusing on human rights, constitutional law and treaty negotiation.

‘Stasiland’ describes the period Anna spent in the former East Germany after the wall came down. It tells the stories of people who heroically resisted the communist dictatorship of East Germany and of people who worked for its secret police, the Stasi.

Shortlisted for many awards in Australia and Britain, in 2004 ‘Stasiland’ won the world’s most significant prize for non-fiction, the Samuel Johnson Prize.

‘All that I am’ is set in pre-war Britain. When Hitler comes to power in 1933, a tight-knit group of friends and lovers become hunted outlaws overnight. United in their resistance to the madness and tyranny of Nazism, they find refuge in London.

Here they take breath-taking risks to continue their work in secret but England is not the safe haven they think it is. A single, chilling act of betrayal will tear them apart. The book is based on real people and events.

Mary has recently released her latest novel ‘Sundowner of the skies’, a memoir/biography of her father, a famous aviator who achieved notoriety when he became the youngest and most inexperienced pilot to fly solo from England to Australia.

Fellow pilots ranked his 1930 flight with the achievements of Charles Kingsford Smith and Amy Johnson. Writing the book was a journey of discovery for Mary. Until she started her research she knew little of her father’s life and his extraordinary history.

The Outspoken event is at 5.45pm for 6.30pm. Tickets are $22 and students $15 and can be purchased online from www.outspokenmaleny.com on the upcoming events page.

Meet the team When you walk through the door at Doctors at Landsborough, chances are the first person you meet will be one of the friendly medical support team women, Erin or Jaimie-Lee. Senior medical receptionist Erin is a Beerwah local who has worked for Integrated Medical Solutions Group (IMSG) for the past three years.

She was previously at the Woodford practice but now appreciates working closer to home at the Landsborough practice. Erin says she loves working in Landsborough and an added bonus is that the Landsborough Rural Fire Brigade, where she and her partner volunteer, is just down the road.

“I love the team here as everyone is really friendly and supportive. It is also really nice to get to know the locals and I’m always here to help if you have any questions or need more information when you arrive for your appointment,” Erin said.

Registered nurse Jaimie-Lee works full time at the

practice and has lived on the Sunshine Coast for the past five years. She has been working with IMSG for two and half years. Jaimie-Lee says she is enjoying working full time in Landsborough and loves the hinterland and surrounding areas.

“I love this part of the Sunshine Coast and in particular the village like feel of Landsborough.

Like Erin, I’m also really enjoying getting to know the locals and it’s great to be part of such a friendly team,” Jaimie-Lee said.

Recent media reports have highlighted warnings of a possible spike in cases of measles and health authorities are urging people to talk with their GP about getting fully vaccinated. Measles is one of the most infectious of all communicable diseases and is spread by tiny droplets formed through coughing and sneezing when the person infected is unwell and infectious. Measles can cause serious, sometimes fatal, complications

Jaimie-Lee Erin including pneumonia and encephalitis (swelling of the brain). Anyone not fully vaccinated is at risk of becoming infected. The very young, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems are particularly at risk – so it’s worth ensuring your MMR vaccine is up to date. Book your appointment with the Doctors at Landsborough team online at HotDoc or call 5360 9350 and make sure you’re covered.

Community Groups Knitfest needs your help

It’s only five weeks until this year's Knitfest Maleny Yarn and Fibre Arts Festival and the organisers are keen to put the call out for help to make it another wonderful event this year.

Festival coordinator Debs Swain said they were looking for volunteer knitters and crocheters to assist them in completing the decorations.

“People can knit from home or join the group each Tuesday morning at the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre from 10am–12noon. You will just need to bring along your hooks, needles and sense of fun,” Debs said.

There is also still time for groups and clubs to register to decorate a tree for the competition. This year they have also introduced something new with a post cosy competition.

No doubt you have heard of a tea cosy. Well, this year they are looking for post cosies and entries will be used to decorate the posts outside the Maleny Community Centre (competition details on their website).

The decorations start going up two weeks before the event and Knitfest organisers appreciate the assistance they get from the wonderful SES volunteers. However, they will need a small army of helpers to attach, tie-on or sew the decorations in place each weekday morning in the lead up to the event.

Don't worry if you have no experience as they are happy to teach you. Male and female volunteers are wanted and there are plenty of jobs if you don't knit or crochet.

They also need people to help out at the event on July 6-7, so why not get involved in your community and join others as they put together Maleny's most magical event.

For more information on how you can get involved go to the website www.knitfest.com.au or phone 0497 401 242.

Lovely lap quilts for the elderly

A group of dedicated people have fun while they gather to make lovely lap quilts for the elderly from donated new and recycled fabrics.

The group has given about 300 of the quilts to aged care facilities that are very grateful to receive them as they are a light blanket that doesn't hurt sensitive legs.

The group now meets in Maleny and is looking for like-hearted people to join.

Sewing skills are not needed to be part of the group.

Get-togethers are held on the fourth Saturday of each month from 9am12noon at Blue Care Maleny Erowal Aged Care Facility in the activities room at 1274 Landsborough-Maleny Road.

Find out more or contact the group through its Facebook page Lovely-LapQuilts-for-the-Elderly-Sunshine-Coast or phone Maggie on 0466 963 791. The next meeting will be June 22.

Join the War on Waste

Glasshouse Country locals inspired by the ABC TV program ‘War on Waste’ have decided it is time to think global and act local, forming their own group to take action in their communities.

The newly formed group is on a mission to reduce waste locally by spreading positive and useful messages, advocating for change and handson action.

Group member Elizabeth Harris said the group was quite informal with no membership or registration required and so far they had about ten members.

They have started meeting on the third Wednesday of the month from 6–7.30pm at the Beerwah CWA hall in Simpson Street.

At this stage they are still choosing the projects to focus on but hope to work with schools, businesses and local organisations to help them reduce their waste, as well as supporting local people with information on to how to reduce waste with practical tips.

“It is still early days but some areas the group is particularly interested in improving are recycling rates for all sorts of materials, reducing food waste and reducing litter,” Elizabeth said.

If you would like to join this local community group to reduce waste and do your part for the planet, War on Waste Glasshouse Country invites you to bring your ideas to the next meeting on Wednesday, June 19. If you can’t attend the meeting, follow their Facebook page - War on Waste Glasshouse Country - for useful information, tips and local opportunities to reduce waste.

You Said It Election commentary

YOU'RE NEVER FULLY DRESSED WITHOUT

A

In most of the post mortem commentary on how the LNP pulled off a surprise victory there has been little reference to the most obvious reason why Labor failed to get through to the voters.

The reason is the incredible impact of two billionaires, one of whom spent $60 million on advertising and the other whose huge media empire unrelentingly bagged every aspect of the policies proposed by Bill Shorten.

The leader of the LNP did not need to present policies, and he did not, as the billionaires so thoroughly distorted the opposition, especially the Labor policies aimed at reducing the rapidly rising level of inequality in Australia.

The behaviour of our billionaires absolutely trashed democracy, which depends on balanced presentation of arguments for and against policy ideas, while there seemed to be no limit to paid advertising, which actually should be limited.

It is not very surprising that billionaires would seek to take advantage of weak regulations about spending on election propaganda and on balanced reporting, as social research has shown that the more unequal a society becomes the more miserable are the people at each extreme end of the income scale.

Not surprisingly, those living below the poverty line, as many now do in Australia, are doing it tough. But it has also been shown that the extremely wealthy in an unequal society are also miserable as the behaviour of our billionaires in our recent election proves.

They campaigned fiercely against measures seeking to reduce inequality in this election and no doubt will continue to accumulate more wealth and become even more miserable.

The Australian Library Information Association’s National Simultaneous Storytime was held on Wednesday, May 22. The program is designed to promote the value of reading and literacy, the fun of books and Australian authors.

It is also designed to promote story time activities in communities around the country and provide opportunities to involve parents, grandparents, media and others to enjoy the occasion. This program is now in its 19th year and this year had the most participants in its history.

Not surprisingly many local groups took part and enjoyed the story of 'Alpacas like Maracas'. In last week’s issue GC&M News shared Glass House Mountains State School’s approach. This week we feature Landsborough Community Kindergarten and Beerwah State School.

Landsborough Community Kindergarten The kindergarten children joined many other groups across Australia to read ‘Alpacas like Maracas’ with the wonderful representatives from Sunshine Coast Libraries. The children enjoyed the story and some songs and games.

Lucy Bauer, the director of the kindergarten, believes that the children gained a lot from these types of programs and looked forward to kindergarten events involving other community organisations. She said the kindergarten also looked forward to participating in this event again next year.

Beerwah State School Beerwah State School deputy principal Deb Lawrence read this year’s simultaneous story ‘Alpacas with Maracas’ to grades one and three. The children were treated to expert storytelling and quite loud maracas, which engaged the students in Kandoo Active Learner and listening skills.

Landsborough cosmetic specialist now offers tattoo removal Operating out of Sunshine Coast Skin Therapies, Beck McKay from The Cosmetic Tattoo Company offers specialised cosmetic services in Landsborough. With more than 10 years industry experience, Beck’s broad range of industry knowledge allows her to create specialised looks to suit each client. As well as running her own business, Beck regularly teaches cosmetic tattooing with a registered training organisation and is a member of the Association of Cosmetic Tattoo.

Beck provides a range of popular cosmetic tattooing procedures and also offers laser tattoo removal. Using a Nd:YAG laser, which is rated class 4 and the highest class of laser, Beck is able to offer this service to safely remove all tattoos, including cosmetic tattoos. One of the key advantages of using a Nd:YAG laser is that it has the capacity to accurately focus on small spots with high energy, providing a much better and safer outcome than other types of machines.

Fully accredited through Dermal Solutions Australia, Beck is fully trained and proficient in all aspects of laser tattoo removal, having undertaken rigorous training and client consultations.

There are many reasons why people want to have tattoos removed – some have just outgrown a design, the tattoo they have is no longer suitable or their bodies have changed. Beck explained that each procedure

is customised to suit the client’s skin and that tattoo removal can take anywhere from three to six treatments, depending on colour and density.

“I see a lot of clients for laser tattoo removal who want to get rid of old memories of themselves. Whether it be a partner’s name, an armband that was once all the trend, or a tattoo that they never liked to begin with and thought they could grow to love,” Beck said.

She said each session in the removal process is relatively quick. Most clients find the process quick and comfortable, with the longest session taking no more than 45 minutes. Beck is more than happy to answer any questions for those wishing to find out more about the laser tattoo removal process and is always available by phone.

Other services offered include eyeliner, lip tattooing and the popular feather touch brows.

Beck said the feather touch procedure offered the most natural looking tattoo as the technique created natural looking hair strokes among your brows to mimic the growth patterns of eyebrows.

Beck offers free consultations for all procedures, explaining how each procedure works. For cosmetic tattooing, she explains what shapes and colours would best suit and what clients can expect during and after the process. If you would like to find out more please visit the website www.thecosmetictattoocompany.com or call the salon on 0409 961 924 to book your free consultation.

“Most women are unaware that cosmetic tattooing has advanced so much since it was first introduced. Feather touch brows is our most popular technique because it follows the natural shape of the eyebrow by tattooing on individual lines instead of a block shape,” she said. “It’s so versatile, you can add subtle colour

Division 1 - Sunshine Coast Aquatic centre upgrade

The excellent news continues for Glasshouse Country townships with a $500,000 federal government grant awarded to help the council fund the $1.2 million Beerwah Aquatic Centre upgrade. A new 17m indoor pool, a new entrance and signage is expected to be completed in late 2019. The aquatic centre has a wide, growing catchment servicing communities including Beerwah, Glass House Mountains, Landsborough, Beerburrum, Mooloolah Valley, Peachester and the wider southern hinterland area of the Sunshine Coast. The new indoor pool will not only provide additional capacity for these growing communities but also ensures programs such as learn to swim, therapy classes and leisure swimming can be delivered all year round. The pool operators, Swim Fit Sunshine Coast, have also invested in this upgrade and I’m pleased that together we are moving this project into construction phase soon.

Award for Bankfoot House

Fantastic news to share is that Bankfoot House, the Sunshine Coast’s state heritage listed site, won a highly commended award at the prestigious 2019 Australian Museums and Galleries National Awards in Alice Springs on Wednesday, May 15. The award submission, titled Raising the Benchmark, highlighted the extensive work the council and the Friends of Bankfoot House undertook in 2017 and 2018, designed to increase visitors to the Bankfoot House heritage precinct by creating new permanent exhibitions through the shed restoration and enhancing existing exhibitions. If you haven’t been to the Bankfoot House heritage precinct recently, or have never been, pack a picnic and plan a trip to explore the new-look exhibitions!

Public transport integration

Critically important news was announced last month. A planning partnership between the Queensland Government and your council will work for our region’s public transport. This is a key step by the state government in declaring their responsibility, involvement and investment in public transport. While it is early days on a long journey, the real momentum has now started and in my view will be instrumental in providing our townships with better frequency, convenience and improved costs for high quality public transport. Addressing the Sunshine Coast’s need for far better road, rail and public transport is absolutely crucial to securing the livability and prosperity of our region.

Meet and greet

The Beerwah meet and greet was very well attended last Thursday. Thanks to the many residents who came along for a chat. As I move around the division one localities, the next session is planned for Monday, June 24 in Landsborough.

Drop by Henry & Co on Cribb St between 10am12noon, say hello and chat all things local government. As always, you can contact me at any time via email division1@sunshinecoast.qld. gov.au or phone 5420 8987.

Mark McArdle

State Member for Caloundra At the time of writing, my office is a hive of activity preparing for the Maleny Show. By the time you read this, I’m certain I will have spoken with many of you who took the time to stop by my booth.

The Maleny Show is a joyful tradition for the Sunshine Coast community – one that I, my wife Judy and my team enjoys immensely. Each year I am reminded that the show is not just purely about the rides, games and enjoying a dagwood dog (though that is a big part of it for many) but is an important reminder of our region’s strong identity as an agricultural centre for Queensland – both historically and currently.

The Sunshine Coast has one of the largest regional economies in Australia with a gross regional product of more than $16 billion as of 2015. We started from humble beginnings as a cattle and timber economy and truly burgeoned in the late 1800s as a small-farming and agricultural economy. It’s no surprise given our coastal position and sub-tropical climate, which is ideal for a wide range of agriculture and food products.

While our regional economy now relies on newer industries such as tourism and health care, it’s important to note that agribusiness is very much alive and well. There are more than 900 agricultural industry businesses on the Coast and according to the University of the Sunshine Coast Food Research Group, as of 2018 the sector was valued at $700 million.

Our region’s food and agriculture production covers everything from beef, pork, poultry, dairy and seafood to fruits, vegetable and nuts as well as lifestyle items such as turf, cut flowers and nursery plants. The Profile of Sunshine Coast Food and Agribusiness report prepared by USC and the Sunshine Coast Council provides valuable insight into the industry. According to the report, poultry remains our “most valuable agricultural commodity, worth approximately $111 million” followed by wild-caught seafood valued at around $58 million.

Despite last year’s setbacks, which we are all aware of, the strawberry industry has been a growing powerhouse for the Coast that I am certain will make a strong comeback with the season just upon us.

So how do we go forward as a region, pushing ourselves to advance technologically while continuing to support our agribusiness identity?

We as a community need to continue to support it. We can continue to shop locally, dine locally and take the opportunity to buy direct from the farmer when feasible. Organisations such as FAN (Food and Agribusiness Network) are also leading the way in connecting our local businesses by spearheading local innovation and collaboration.

Agriculture will continue and has a strong future and continuing place in our regional identity. I look forward to seeing where our bright young minds will take it next. caloundra@parliament.qld.gov.au Search us on Facebook Mark McArdle MP

Business News Maleny to feature on MasterChef

by Lea Parkes MasterChef Australia earlier this year filmed in Queensland for the first time, providing an opportunity to promote the state’s unique local produce and world-class restaurants.

The state government provided support to bring the cast and crew to Queensland through Tourism and Events Queensland.

As part of Queensland Week, on Tuesday, June 4 the top-rating show featured our stunning hinterland.

The unique, authentically rustic wedding venue The Old Dairy Maleny on the Landsborough-Maleny Road, with its panoramic views of the glorious Glass House Mountains and spectacular sunsets, hosted Masterchef.

It must have been an exciting opportunity for the venue to showcase both the best in local produce and the area’s stunning natural beauty.

The show kicked off the week in Brisbane before travelling to Maleny for an immunity challenge.

Tourism Industry Development Minister Kate Jones said hosting MasterChef in Queensland would generate great exposure for the state’s tourism sector.

“Millions of people around Australia tune in to MasterChef each week. By hosting MasterChef in Queensland, prospective tourists will have beautiful images of our state beamed into their living rooms,” she said.

Maleny Commerce president Nicole Hilton said it was wonderful for our local area to be a part of the production and, with Maleny known for its many award-winning dairy products and wedding venues, it seemed like a perfect marriage of what the area was recognised for.

If you are reading this before the show goes to air on June 4 make sure you tune in at 7.30pm to see the contestants cooking up a storm in the kitchens at The Old Dairy.

Focus on health, wealth and lifestyle

Following the success of the Hinterland Finance and Sustainability Expo held in 2016, Maleny Commerce is pleased to host Sustainable Futures Expo – Health, Wealth, Lifestyle on Saturday June 22 at the Maleny Showgrounds pavilion.

Maleny Commerce president Nicole Hilton said the expo had been designed as an interesting and educational guide to assist everyday consumers make sustainable decisions towards living a well-balanced lifestyle through their choices around health, wealth and lifestyle.

“The generous support from our sponsors and our 40 exhibitors means attendance is free and visitors also have the chance to win $500 to be spent with one or more exhibitors after the event, which is just great,” Nicole said.

“I am sure that the three exceptional keynote speakers as well as the 12 speakers who are presenting workshops and talks will be able to share both their passion for their topic and plenty of practical inspiration for the attendees.”

Some of the presentations include Sandie Johnston from EnviorCom Australia who will talk about the Sunshine Coast’s War on Waste, Spencer Shaw from Forest Heart Nursery who Sam from Hum Honey Kali from My Food Culture will talk about creating a sustainable lifestyle with native plants, Kali Gray from My Food Culture who will present a workshop on making beeswax covers and Sam the BeeGirl from Hum Honey who will talk about sustainable beekeeping, explaining why not all honey is created equal.

Doors open at 8.30am on the day and the first speaker will be Cyndi O’Meara from Changing Habits at 9am.

Local music teacher Sarah Minns was thrilled with the recent launch of the Glasshouse Community Choir, which had an incredible start with a turnout of 33 people for the first choir gathering on Wednesday, May 22.

Sarah said it was wonderful to see a broad mix of people turn up. “I was so chuffed with the turnout. It was a fun night and everyone seemed to be smiling,” she said.

“We had a real spread of ages from 17 to around 80 years old and a mix of men and women. We even had a guitarist come out of the woodwork and he's offered to play at some of our practises, which is fantastic,” Sarah said.

The night featured a variety of songs chosen to appeal to a cross section of tastes.

They included Edelweiss (from ‘The Sound of Music’), For the Longest Time (Billy Joel), When You Say Nothing at All (Ronan Keating), Shallow (Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga from ‘A Star is Born’), Put a Little Love in Your Heart (Annie Lennox style), Loch Lomond (traditional) and Let it Be (Beatles).

Sarah’s plan is to start working on some harmonies to take advantage of the vocal range of the participants and to look at songs in a bit more detail.

She hopes that the momentum continues for this wonderful community choir initiative and is keen to attract a few more instrumentalists to accompany them.

The community choir is open to everyone - young, middle-aged and older adults alike. There is no need for participants to read music or to have previous experience.

The group meets weekly on Wednesday evenings at the Glass House Mountains Neighbourhood Centre from 6.30-7.45pm. There will be no cost to participate and a variety of music styles will be explored to suit the group as it evolves.

New members are welcome to just turn up on a Wednesday evening.

Music Today

The power of a great musical arrangement Having been a composer all my life, I have a special affinity with arranging, which is taking a piece of music, generally in its barest form, and realising its full potential by adding various instruments and organising them to achieve a maximum effect. It is also known as instrumenting or orchestrating. It is an intriguing art - first year composition students cut their teeth on orchestrating the solo works of Ravel and Bach, for example, for any range of instruments.

The form it takes for me today also assumes a production role as I generally take a song, for which only a verse and chorus might exist - usually played on guitar, and I will add parts - keyboards, bass, drums, other guitars and strings, for example, and record the finished product. It can be very satisfying, especially if the song is a good one.

One tends to have favourite artists and albums, and I vacillate from one to the other, but an act I often come back to is The Civil Wars, both for the quality of their performances and their arrangements. The producer of their albums is the multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Charlie Peacock and he was an essential part of the studio sound they created. He noted that his role was to support the power and passion of their acoustic performances with the addition of atmospheric ambiences. For most arrangers this wouldn’t be enough but Peacock, assuming more of a producer’s role, realises a superb palette with his subtle additions. That said, you will hear acoustic, electric and pedal steel guitars, mandolin, bass, string quartet, piano, organ, some synth pads and the occasional drum set on the albums, so he does extend his atmospheric licence.

Listen to the album version of the The Civil Wars’ spine tingling performance of the great Smashing Pumpkins song ‘Disarm’. Peacock moves it from a delicate guitar and mandolin opening to a beautifully spare first chorus at 1.09 with the introduction of a warm string-like synth pad. When working with singers the class of the two in this duo, one has to let them sing unencumbered by dense instrumentation. However, with the second verse at 2.10 the muscle of the arrangement starts to exert itself and in the second chorus at 2.54 we face a massive dynamic assault driven by a relentless rhythm guitar and the song climaxes with the stirring harmonies of the singers stretched to their utmost. All that can be left after such an outpouring is a reference to the most delicate of guitars that is heard at the opening, and the song dies with a single voice.

Michael has a recording studio in Peachester. If you would like to find out more contact him on 0419 026 895 or E: mwhitick@bigpond.net.au

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

Health & Wellbeing Community benefit at work Maleny IGA’s Rob Outridge recently saw first-hand the benefits from funds provided by the store’s Community Benefit Club to the Maleny Hospital. The hospital bought five iPads in protective cases, as well as three wireless headphones and five charging cables to provide technology-based rehabilitation for patients.

Hospital social worker Chantal Fichera thanked Rob for IGA’s generosity and explained the positive benefits that the iPads had on patients’ everyday clinical care, particularly in relation to social connectedness.

Maleny Hospital provides both acute and restorative long-term care to patients with movement disorders, and decreased physical and cognitive function due to stroke, terminal illness and chronic disease.

Quite often patients need to stay in the hospital for extended periods away from the community where they and their family live, so having access to technology that allows them to stay in contact can

By Lea Parkes be really important for the patients’ overall wellbeing.

Chantal explained that for a patient who is a long way from home being able to face-time their son or daughter or even see that their pets are being well looked after can make a difference.

“Having access to your favourite music and a pair of headphones can sometimes give patients a little bit of normalcy and control over some part of the day as a patient,” she said.

Ultimately the iPads can improve the quality of life for the long-term patients and empower them to play an active role in their recovery.

Rob explained that since the Community Benefit Club was established the Maleny Hospital, through Wishlist, had been the highest beneficiary.

“To date, more than $75,000 has been allocated from the club for use by the hospital and there is currently a significant amount waiting for suitable projects to be developed for its use,” he said.

IGA’s Rob Outridge, social worker Chantal Fichera with patient Mavis Hiscock and occupational therapist Louise Harnes Maleny IGA donates one cent in every dollar spent in store to local charities nominated by customers and currently have over 150 registered groups and organisations that donations can be directed to.

Dine In Take Out with Lea Parkes

Celebrating Italian culture

Fresca Market & Café at Glass House Mountains played host to the local celebration of Festa della Repubblica, or Italy’s Republic Day, last Sunday, June 2.

It celebrates the day Italians voted to abolish the monarchy in 1946 so their country could become a republic and is a public holiday in Italy.

While I am not sure if many of those celebrating at Glass House Mountains were aware of the historical significance of the day, there was definitely plenty of excitement among all who attended the day to participate in Run Queensland’s Gladiator trail run event.

The run took off from the Coliseum (Fresca) and took participants on an 8km or 15km trail through the local forestry.

For those brave enough to do the longer run, they also took on the Herculean battle with Wild Horse Mountain.

The team from Fresca, who have recently celebrated their first anniversary, absolutely outdid themselves with creating a great Italian vibe on the day.

The team already has a great reputation with the locals for their wonderful coffee and the tasty traditional sweets they make onsite and the delicious gelato they sell.

However, the Gladiator was the first major event they had hosted and they pulled out all stops to partner with local business Run Queensland. They even brought in a wood-fired pizza oven for the day!

Thanks for sharing and for the fun!

Words to live by People fear God, afraid of what they will have to give up if they follow Him. Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan for us is pretty clear. He values knowing us and for us to know Him. What may seem strange to many people is that there is actually a path to Heaven.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s through accepting Christ. I cant imagine an â&#x20AC;&#x153;anything goesâ&#x20AC;? type policy to get into Heaven and I can already hear the question: â&#x20AC;&#x153;But what aboutâ&#x20AC;Ś?â&#x20AC;?. There arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bunch of exemptions and clauses. It is so simple. Accept Jesus Christ and live our life in a way that honours God. Reading the Bible and doing what we read is how we live for God. 1. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

2. Jeremiah 29:11 â&#x20AC;&#x153;For I know the plans I have for you,â&#x20AC;? declares the Lord, â&#x20AC;&#x153;plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.â&#x20AC;?

Buy or hire? That is the question

When you have a gardening job to do and you don't have the equipment, you have two choices - buy or hire.

Brian O'Donnell from Maleny Mowers reckons they both have advantages, so Maleny Mowers has expanded its services so they can offer you both options.

“Our hire range currently consists of chippers, mowers (ride-on and selfpropelled), rotary hoe, pressure washer, trailer, log splitter and a battery pole saw, with new equipment arriving soon,” he said.

Hiring equipment is a great way to save money, as you don’t have to outlay a large sum to buy something you are going to use for a short time.

If you would like to try before you buy, hiring is a great way to find the equipment that is right for the job before you make a purchase.

And if you already have a shed full of tools, and not much space left, hiring equipment means you don’t need to worry about rearranging the shed to fit more in.

When the job is finished, you can just return the hired equipment to Maleny Mowers. Give them a call on 5494 3144 to find out more or drop in and see them at 12 Bunya Street, Maleny.

Picture perfect garden in Maleny Gardening on the Edge is on this weekend (June 8-9) and you’d be a crackpot not to make the pleasant trip to Maleny to see one or all six open gardens, as well as the garden expo and markets at the Maleny Showgrounds.

To whet the whistle, we had a sneak peek at one of the open gardens owned by June and Bill Dunn, on the outskirts of Maleny.

June and Bill bought the two-and-a-half-acre property seven years ago, moving from a 398m2 block in Clayfield. Consequently, their gardening

By Greg Brown experience was rather restricted spatially and so were the garden tools they possessed.

Bill, an engineer by trade, soon found he had to upscale to larger mowers and trimmers and found that things like chainsaws and prayers became necessary as well.

“The garden had a good framework,” Bill said. “It just needed some planning and gradual changes to bring it to what we were looking for.”

So, over those seven years the gardens have been transformed somewhat with three main levels created, connected via a network of tracks and pathways, all engineered so a mower and trailer can gain access, and the sloping trails have handrails and steps where needed.

In creating the colourful and diverse gardens, June and Bill have chosen plants that give vertical structure but also provide ground coverage, which means there is less weeding and mulching to be done.

“It does mean more pruning but that’s OK as it’s off the ground and so easier to handle than being down on your knees weeding,” Bill said.

The broader landscape of the area is just beautiful, with sweeping views from most of the garden down across the valley to Baroon Pocket Dam and then up to Montville, with emerald green paddocks and rainforest patches between.

You can’t help but be drawn to gaze out across this vista as you listen to the frogs and birds calling in the distance. It’s a perfect use of the ‘borrowed landscape’ to extend your garden experience without having to do anything.

June finds the whole garden relaxing and enjoyable.

“I adore the front entrance and yard,” she said.

“The birch trees work well as do the mass plantings of things like agapanthus, hardenbergia and bromeliads.

“I’m so happy being in the front gardens. They just bring me so much joy.”

And you can’t ask more of a garden than that.

Why not check out their garden for yourself this weekend so you can find some of the joy that Bill and June live with every day.

The open gardens are $5 for one garden, $13 for three or $25 for all six. Tickets can be bought at the Maleny Showground garden expo and market (card and cash) or at the gates of the gardens (cash only).

Should I renovate?

There is plenty to consider when buying a home. Location. Size. Style.

Price or should I renovate?

If you have a limited budget, you might be looking at buying a home that needs work. Before you get out the hammer and nails, there are a few things to think about.

So you’ve decided you want to renovate a property you’re looking to buy. But before you secure the purchase, you need to know whether renovations will be worth the cost. If you are not an owner-builder, you will need to engage a builder or architect before the purchase, to get an idea of how much time and money is involved. Can renovations be done in stages? Will you be able to live 36

in the home while renovations are being completed? What are the associated costs?

Drawing up a budget and a timeline before you secure the property purchase will mean you have a clearer picture of your financial situation. You need to know you have the means to sustain the mortgage on the property as well as the costs associated with renovation.

Be clear about why you want to renovate. Will renovations improve your home’s energy use and output? Do you need more space? Do you want to increase the house value?

Like most things in life, renovations cost money. You will need materials, and most of us will need to engage

tradespeople. You need to decide if the costs and inconvenience of renovating be worth it?

If you are looking to increase the value, you need to look at median property prices in your region, and research sales trends. Determine whether houses with more bedrooms, or in better condition are in fact worth more than your house.

Consider the inconvenience of larger renovations. Removing the roof, kitchen, or bathroom will most likely mean you need to live elsewhere until the work is complete. Fector costs associated with relocating/renting into your budget. You could renovate in stages to minimise inconvenience if you plan to live in you house thoughout.

If you decide that renovations are worthwhile, you will need to plan how and when these renovations will take place.

Business feature

On time, honest and reliable Peachester-based landscaping business Charmak Landscape Construction services the entire hinterland and Sunshine Coast region, from North Brisbane to Gympie. Owned and operated by husband and wife team Ryan and Krysty Idle, the business offers competitive pricing, friendly honest service and an excellent standard of work.

Ryan is a structural landscaper by trade with more than 16 years of industry experience and Krysty has an extensive design background that spans more than a decade. With nearly 30 years of experience between them in structural landscaping and design, Ryan and Krysty have the expertise, know-how and equipment to beautifully transform and update your outdoor living space, backyard or outdoor commercial premises.

Before the couple established the business three and a half years ago, Ryan spent many years working as a commercial landscaper on the Sunshine Coast, specialising in large scale housing and local government landscape work.

The decision to set up their own business was partly driven by the couple’s desire to spend quality time with their two young daughters, Charlotte, 4, and Makenzie, 6, and achieve a more productive work/home life balance. Family oriented, the name of the business is a blending of their daughters’ names.

Krysty explained that since establishing the business, their client feedback had been awesome – with most of their work coming from either repeat clients or new clients via referral or word-of-mouth.

“Our clients have consistently given us great

Our family owned and operated

feedback, which is wonderful.

The comments we get include appreciation for our punctuality, reliability, honest quoting and work ethic. We love being able to go in and help transform people’s outdoor living space and it’s always worth so much to us seeing how happy our clients are,” Krysty said.

Lately the couple have been doing a lot more work with fencing, large retainer walls and concreting. Krysty said that with the type of work they had been doing, it was important that their clients had complete peace of mind that came from using a fully licensed and insured business.

“We’ve heard of some unfortunate situations lately where clients have had quotes and work started that have not been of the correct standard. It’s important that if considering any type of structural work that you only use an accredited and licensed operator. We are members of Master Builders Queensland, are fully licensed and insured, and our work is always completed to the highest possible standards.

In our industry, word-of-mouth is so important and so we always seek to ensure our clients are completely happy with our work,” Krysty explained.

Ryan and Krysty love being able to assist clients to make the most of their outdoor space and find that a well landscaped area brings incredible joy

for many years to come as well as adding value.

“We are thrilled that people seem to be really pleased with what we offer and we are always happy to come out and suggest design or landscaping ideas to help clients achieve their desired outdoor space. Good landscaping always adds value to property, as well as providing a more satisfying and enjoyable living environment,” Krysty said.

To find out more, give Krysty a call on 0400 175 134, find them on Facebook or go to their website at charmaklandscape.com.au.

Mel Augustine from Glass House Mountains travelled to Japan in early May to visit and photograph some of the most spectacular gardens they have on show at this time of the year.

Over a two-week period, Mel visited the world famous Kawachi Wisteria Garden, the Nokonoshima Island flower park and Shibazakura Festival near Mt Fuji.

Mel said that planning the trip herself was easy using online searches and travel apps.

Her top tip for people wanting to see the wisteria garden is to time it for late in the flowering season when there won’t be the crazy crowds that are there earlier in the season.

Here are some of her spectacular photos. You’d have to agree that Japan really is a gardener’s holiday paradise.

Lessons for Beginners to Advanced

Glasshouse Country Bowls Club

Students at Beerburrum State School recently took part in their annual athletics carnival.

The day began with teams warming up their team spirit for fierce competition, with Norfolk, Bongaree and Flinders performing their war cries.

The events began with all ages taking part in sprints from 60m-200m followed by other major

events in high jump and long jump.

The day was enjoyed by teachers, parents, families and students, with all getting involved in events such as house captain versus parents versus teachers in the very serious horsey noodle relay race. The egg and spoon, bean bag toss and the vortex scoop ball throw took lots of concentration and effort with lots of laughs.

Maleny Bowls Club Contributed by Graeme Glover As the cold weather set in this week a few less were found on the green. The dreaded flu rolled in and caught a number by surprise but all are on the mend now.

Monthly pairs was another great afternoon of bowls and was won by our visitors from Caboolture Lakes. Well done visitors for supporting our monthly event.

A reminder to all about the earlier start to work better for our visitors who need to travel distances to play.

The willingness of all hinterland bowlers who travel regularly to support each other and make bowls clubs like ours vibrant is great.

Wednesday night saw a pairs competition run and won by the skill of a lucky draw. A reminder to all to get teams ready for the pending kick off of the next competition. See Miles Allen to

Sport The Range Croquet Club Contributed by Ken Barker Good weather conditions on Thursday saw entertaining play on the lawn. Vince Carbery and Bev Sockhill paired up for two games of golf against Sally Adams and Wallace Roy beating them 7–3 and 7–5.

Witta Tennis Contributed by Pauline Fraley The Wildcats were at home to Mooloolaba Mojitos. A beautiful day for tennis and as usual a hard fought match. The team of Libby Howlett, Annie Stewart, Stacey English and Jo Williams did their best but with an injury to Jo we had to forfeit the last set. With only three matches left there are three points separating seven teams. So fingers crossed we make it to the top two.

Whistlers played at Maroochydore against the Blue Belles. It was cold and windy at the start and we needed a good warm up. We had an enjoyable day with a good win. Score was 45-26 games, 6-2 sets. Team was Donna Kuskopf, Aki Lepper, Brenda Warner and thanks to Michelle Macaree for filling in.

Social tennis is on Monday at 8am and Saturday at 1pm. All welcome. Court bookings 0437 295 501 or www.wittatennis.com.au.

ARIES March 21 - April 20 Mars this week will activate your sector of home and family matters, drawing your attention to all domestic issues. The New Moon denotes the start of an active, thought-provoking period for you, one with plenty of comings and goings, and making connections that inspire you. Home and family will be on your mind for the next three weeks.

TAURUS April 21 – May 21 The New Moon is activating how you are looking for new ways to increase income.

There is talk about a nifty purchase. It could well be within your financial range. This week it is important to pay attention to those dependent upon you. There is no point in gambling your funds unwisely so wait until mid-month to buy tickets.

GEMINI May 22 - June 23 The New Moon earlier this week was in your sign and promoted keen mental rapport for the next two weeks. It puts your aims and dreams into the spotlight but still emphasising the need to face practical realities. Brilliant ideas come to you over the weekend when you least expect them. Solutions come in a flash during quiet moments.

CANCER June 24 - July 22 The weekend sees the chance for you to make a quick change or engage in a new and exciting activity. Accept any unexpected invitations that should shake up your routine, making it revitalising. Fixing projects around the home and other chores are shared with others over the weekend. Feel good when caring for family needs.

Week Beginning 05/06/2019

to the other poor man he said: “You come with us.”

The second man, in a pitiful voice said: “But sir, I also have a wife and six children with me.”

“Bring them all as well,” the rich fellow answered.

They all climb in the car, which was no easy task even for a car as large as the limousine.

Once under way, one of the poor fellows turned to the rich gent and said: “Sir, you are too kind.

Thank you for taking all of us with you.”

The rich man replied: “Glad to do it. You'll really love my place. The grass is almost a foot high.”

LEO July 23 – August 22 You start the week in a reclusive mood as your mind wants to go over arrangements with a fine-tooth comb. Take any opening to explore new projects and fresh ideas. An interesting chapter could open up in your professional life as the result of the New Moon earlier this week. Enjoy yourself but don’t lose your bearings now.

VIRGO August 23 – September 22 The New Moon has brought your conscious attention to a hectic career agenda that needs prioritising. Your gifts of logic and insight will work their way through a couple of confounding pathways. The stars are continuing some disruptive patterns but it could bring only a small change. A big work agenda lines up for you at this time.

LIBRA September 23 - October 22 This may be the week that under that New Moon sign of Gemini you decide to stop stewing and release your pent-up feelings.

Yes, of course, this is not your usual style but clearing the air is commendable and a very good stress reliever. The spotlight seems to still rest on distant interests and travel for the future. All are elements of escapism.

SCORPIO October 23 - November 22 There are some major discussions and analysing this week, which is extremely busy due to the early start to the week with the New Moon in Gemini. You may explore old familiar territory during a trip. The focus keeps coming back to your monetary supply and your shared assets. Look at all the options and square off technical budget details.

SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 Under the flow of strong communication energies set up by the New Moon earlier in Gemini, there is a strong indication that you should allow your partner to have the final say. The star influences are fortunate for you so you should be glad you did! A better chapter in relationships opens in the following weeks. Seize an unexpected opportunity!

CAPRICORN December 23 - January 19 Put on your thinking cap and get to work solving problems! This is a week to resolve those burning questions and get to the bottom of things that will be amply rewarded by the weekend. It is best not to overstrain yourself where your physical being is concerned so moderation in all things, even lifting heavy objects, is a good rule to observe.

AQUARIUS January 20 - February 19 That New Moon earlier this week generates and expands possibilities giving you several opportunities to choose from. This could be regarding romance, entertainment, travel, holiday plans and/or creative expression. You will feel a strong motivation to accomplish every task you put your hand to and you will not lack for inspiration now.

PISCES February 20 - March 20 The week sees you backed by strong emotions and there is an edge in the air, your psychic senses can feel it. This means do not take any chances if something does not feel right! The odds are risky and could bring a loss. Possibly you feel very tired over the weekend so skip debates or differences between opinions just observe the participants.

One afternoon a rich man was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. He ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.

He asked one man: “Why are you eating grass?”

“We don't have any money for food,” one of the poor men replied. “We have to eat grass.”

“Well then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you,” the rich man said.

“But sir, I have a wife and two children with me.

They are over there, under that tree,” the poor man said.

“Bring them along,” the rich man replied. Turning

Smile bright with Dental Excel....

Dr David Marley

Dr David Marley has 45 years of extensive experience and has developed a great interest in restorative dentistry and full mouth rehabilitation as well as great belief in the benefits of cosmetic dentistry.

“I always believe that a healthy mouth and an attractive smile are a great asset which should be nurtured and valued.

Healthy teeth are acknowledged to have a great part to play in

supporting good general health,” David says.

David still keeps up to date with new innovations in his field such as his experience with surgical implants. He enjoys sharing this professional knowledge with his patients to assist improving quality of life for all.

David said their aim is to provide a comprehensive service to the local community for many years to come.

Dr Finbarr O’Sullivan Dr Finbarr O’Sullivan (BDS) originally qualified in Liverpool in the UK back in 2005. He gained two years experience with the UK’s National Health Service before spending four years in private practice in Ireland.

He has a particular interest in and enthusiasm for dental implants; both to replace missing teeth and to retain those

annoying loose dentures. He believes that the huge leaps in technology during recent times have changed the level of treatment on offer.

Finbarr also holds a postgraduate certificate in cosmetic restorative dentistry (UK) which gives him the added expertise when restoring a beautiful smile.

Dr Tiffany Chan Dr Tiffany Chan qualified as a dentist at the University of Liverpool UK in 2010 and upon graduating, she went on to work in the Community Dental Service through the National Health Service where she treated many patients with dental phobia, children and special needs patients.

This experience enhanced her people skills in putting

people at ease in the dental surgery. She is gentle, great with children and those who just really hate going to the dentist!

Tiffany has a great interest in extractions and wisdom teeth removal and has completed an intensive oral surgery course with maxillofacial surgeons in Cambodia.

Dr Shirly Atia Dr Shirly Atia completed her Dental Hygiene Degree in Canada and worked as a dental hygienist for seven years before completing a Bachelor of Dental Surgery at James Cook University in Cairns.

She has completed her general practice residency in Queensland Health providing dental care to Indigenous communities.

Shirly is extremely passionate about preventive dentistry but enjoys all areas of dentistry including fillings, crown and bridge, aesthetic dentistry and root canals.

Shirly ensures all her patients receive the best possible treatment and is committed to providing high quality dentistry in a warm, gentle and welcoming environment.

Dr Raj Kengaiha Dr Raj Kengaiha was originally educated in India and completed his dental degree at the prestigious Bangalore University in 1997, followed by working in busy dental practices in India before moving with his family to Australia in 2013. Although interested in all aspects of dentistry, Raj has particular passions for endodontic (root

canal treatment) and orthodontic (braces).

He is doing additional training in orthodontics, participating in a Mini Residency which formed part of his Excellence of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics (EODO) training.

Raj has recently gained accreditation to provide Fastbraces orthodontic treatment – both simple and advanced.
