Hi Everyone...

This marks the fourth year that the lovely Lottie Nisbett has enthusiastically knitted and crocheted until she had created enough pieces to yarnbomb our Poinciana tree in time for Christmas.

Each year Lottie has experimented with different colours, styles and textures to create a not-so-traditional ‘Christmas Tree’ for the Glasshouse Country & Maleny News office.

While Lottie is the mastermind behind the knitting needles and the crochet hook, her husband John (also the President of Beerwah & District RSL) and Brownie take on the complex task of installation.

However, this year’s installation featured an extended support crew, with Lottie and John’s daughter Laurel-Lea and grandchildren Lianna and Billy who were here on holiday from France, joining in. Previously the family had only been able to admire Lottie’s handiwork from photos, which was not nearly as good as seeing the magic of it come together in real life.

I really love that we are able to create a different tree each year for the community and visitors to enjoy and my favourite part is seeing people interact with it – yes, interact.

Every day we see people stop their cars, or their strollers or the dogs if they are out walking, and have a look at the tree, admire the work, sometimes taking selfies. But what I love most is seeing how people lean out and touch the tree and feel its coat as they walk past.

Regards, It is great to see our tree bringing just a little bit of joy into our community!

For Professional Caring Service Denture Care Maleny

Say no to a casino Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace has called upon all Sunshine Coast residents and business people to take a public stand against the construction of a casino in Maroochydore's new SunCentral Development by signing his ‘Say No to Council’s Casino’ petition, launched last week.

The call followed recent media reports of face to face discussions between SunCentral directors and international gambling corporations.

Mr Wallace has been an outspoken opponent of Sunshine Coast Council’s casino plan, and has pledged to fight the proposal at every stage.

“I believe that the Council’s plan to change the character of the Sunshine Coast by building a casino at their Maroochydore development is emerging as one of the biggest threats to the future of our community,” he said.

“A casino on the Coast would add to the cost of living pressures on many of our hard-working families, increase crime and anti-social behaviour, and drive up drug and alcohol abuse.

“This plan risks driving more family breakdowns, and increasing rates of mental and physical ill health.”

The petition states that a casino would “not be in keeping with the relaxed family-friendly environment that makes the Sunshine Coast world renowned” and would “cause irreparable harm to the social fabric of the Sunshine Coast community”. It calls upon “the Sunshine Coast Council, via its wholly owned development company SunCentral, to abandon its

plans to establish a casino in SunCentral.”

Mr Wallace said: “Family life is difficult in modern times, we don't need to compound those difficulties by establishing more mechanisms of misery.

“I have spoken to many local people about this at meetings around our community and the feedback I have received tells me that Sunshine Coast residents do not want a casino here. We are not the Gold Coast, nor should we want to be.

“I strongly encourage everyone to sign my petition and to get involved.”

Concerned residents can sign the petition, which will be delivered by Mr Wallace to the Sunshine Coast Council, by going to: www.andrewwallacemp.com. au/MyWorkforFisher/CasinoPetition-471/.

"If the House always wins, our community will be the biggest loser. Please join with me to ensure that this House never gets out of the ground," Mr Wallace said. .

Maleny to host 2018 National Cross Country Championships More than 1,200 athletes and 4,000 visitors from around Australia and New Zealand will converge on the picturesque Maleny Golf Club and Community Precinct next year for the National Cross Country Championships.

Athletics Australia and School Sports Australia decided to stage the two-day event at Maleny on the weekend of August 24-25, 2018, following the successful running of the Queensland championships on the 3km course earlier this year.

Maleny Golf Club President Max Whitten said this major athletics event only came to Queensland once every eight years and would provide Maleny and the Sunshine Coast Hinterland with a major economic boost.

“The combined resources of the Maleny District Sport and Recreation Club, especially its services club members, will be called on to make this a truly memorable occasion for Maleny, the Sunshine Coast and all of Queensland,” Dr Whitten said.

Dr Whitten said Maleny was now recognised

as having one of the best cross country racing venues in the nation since opening up the undulating golf course and community precinct for local and state competitions in recent years.

“On August 4 next year, prior to the national event, Queensland Athletics will again be holding their annual state championships in Maleny for all age groups from eight to 70,” Dr Whitten said.

Similarly, the Maroochydore Athletics Club on the Sunshine Coast will run one of its local Cross Country Series races at Maleny again on May 6 next year.

“These events all bring significant economic and social benefits to our district and the Maleny Golf Club is pleased and proud to be able to open up and share its facility for major cross country activities,” Dr Whitten said.

“As a member of Maleny District Sport and Recreation Club, the Maleny Golf Club is reassured to know that the running of these events will draw in the support and services of its fellow clubs.”

Aura Community Grants Program Christmas has come early for 15 community groups on the Sunshine Coast who have been named the inaugural recipients of Stockland’s Aura Community Grants program, with almost $300,000 worth of grants being awarded last week.

Representatives from Stockland, Good2Give and local community groups joined Sunshine Coast Councillors Rick Baberowski and Peter Cox at Aura for the official announcement of recipients.

The biannual community grants program, delivered in partnership with Good2Give, is a collaboration between the Sunshine Coast Council, the Queensland State Government and Stockland.

It will see approximately $5 million of funding delivered to local organisations throughout the duration of the construction of the Aura community.

Ben Simpson, Regional Manager for Stockland, said the Aura Community Grants program aimed to support the many local groups and associations which form the backbone of the Sunshine Coast community.

“This year we have allocated $285,351 in funding and we are delighted to be able to assist these very deserving organisations who play such an important role in our local community,” Mr Simpson said.

Launched on July 10, the new program invited community organisations and not for profit groups delivering services in Caloundra North, Caloundra South and the Glasshouse Country areas to apply for a grant.

Bridgette and Paula Powers from Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue The funding can be used for a one-off project, or to deliver an ongoing project or service, with two types of grants available – $1,000 to $5,000, and $5,001 to $50,000.

Glasshouse Country recipients of the Aura Community Grants funding included Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue, Beerwah & District Kindergarten Inc, Glasshouse Country Community Group and Nungeena Aboriginal Corporation for Women’s Business.

“We are extremely pleased with the response we received to our first Aura Community Grants program and it was fantastic to see the many ways in which local groups are helping to make our region a better place for all,” Mr Simpson said.

Speed limit changes on MalenyKenilworth Road Motorists will be slowed down in a bid to improve safety on Maleny-Kenilworth Road at Conondale.

Transport and Main Roads North Coast District Director Leah McKenzie said the speed limit would be reduced from 100kph to 80kph along a section of this road prior to Christmas.

“A speed review undertaken on this road identified the need to reduce the speed between Curramore Road and Elaman Creek,” Ms McKenzie said.

“Our review considered factors such as road characteristics, crash trends and prevailing speed limits. Based on our findings, we determined that a speed reduction would benefit safety along this steep and winding section of the road.”

Ms McKenzie said the changes were endorsed by the local speed management committee, which includes members from Queensland Police, Sunshine Coast Council and Transport and Main Roads.

“I urge all motorists to observe the new speed limits once they are introduced and to always drive to conditions,” she said.

Business News Owners of Pasta d’Vine set to retire

By Sonia Clark Long running Beerwah business owners Sue and Oskar Schlapa are set to retire from business life on December 23.

The owners of Pasta d’Vine on Simpson Street for nearly 10 years, Sue and Oskar also previously ran the Beerwah Fruit Market for four and half years, and have been an integral part of the Beerwah business community for nearly 15 years.

Together Sue and Oskar have a combined total of over 100 years of hospitality experience and so now they have certainly earned their chance to farewell their working life and enjoy some time to themselves.

As anyone who has owned or operated their own business will know, you have to be prepared to put your heart into it and dedicate countless hours of hard work into making it a success.

Both Oskar and Sue have mixed feelings about retiring after so many years of business, yet they are both excited about taking the next step in their lives.

Sue is very grateful for the support from their customers over the years and has appreciated the positive changes in Beerwah especially in the last five years.

“We would very much like to thank our customers for their loyalty over the years and their willingness to appreciate the (sometimes different) deli food we’ve offered,” she said.

“It has been great to see Beerwah develop into a destination for shops and businesses and be a part of a town we are proud to live in.”

After the doors close for the final time on December 23, the couple are looking forward to planning some well-earned overseas adventures and spending beerwah time with their six grandchildren in Western Australia and Germany. mechanical_quarter page ad final_FA_hi res.pdf 1 14/08/2017 7:26:08 PM Sue is also hoping to enjoy her garden and “do nothing for a while!”

Aquila opens in Mooloolah

The Mooloolah business outlook has just received a fashionable boost with a brand new boutique and homewares store, ‘Aquila’, recently opening its doors.

Featuring fashion, funky homewares and some pretty good coffee, the newly opened shop is already drawing a regular crowd.

Owned by local lady Jana Venditti, Aquila represents an opportunity for her to work closer to home and provide locals with access to some gorgeous clothing and unique items for the home without having to drive to the Coast.

Previously Jana had run her own small business as well as working in her family’s long-running Maleny restaurant, Cappriccio’s.

Jana chose to establish her new business in Mooloolah as she feels it is definitely a growth area and working closer to home provides a better lifestyle for her and her family.

The store is called ‘Aquila’ after the word for eagle/bird of freedom and it represents the freedom to branch out and seek new opportunities.

Jana has carefully chosen a mix of stunning boutique pieces in a range of sizes.

She hopes to have something instore that will appeal to everyone and also offers a diverse range of interesting and eclectic homeware pieces.

Her Maleny Coffee blend is proving a bit hit and plans are underway to source locally produced cakes.

‘Aquila’, Shop 2/1, Mooloolah Connection Road, phone 0437 441 502, is open Tuesday to Friday 9am-5pm and Saturday 9am-1pm.

BEERWAH

DENTURE CLINIC

Beerwah business in conflict with zoning A company specialising in renewable energy innovation has lodged a material change of use application with Sunshine Coast Council for their existing business at 52 Old Peachester Road, Beerwah.

Established at the site since 2007, the business called Petawatt (operated by Electrygen Pty Ltd) was required to submit the application after being served with a ‘Show Cause Notice’ when Council became aware that they did not have the correct approvals under the planning scheme.

The company runs a research and technology industry, specialising in the development and retail of renewable and sustainable energy, and energy producing systems.

Unfortunately, the land they operate from is zoned as Rural and the industry use is inconsistent with the agricultural purpose of the land.

The property was a strawberry farm until about 2007, after which the existing research and development facility evolved on site.

According to the application report, the technology employed includes a research and development/ demonstration facility to develop the technology associated with the production of hydrogen fuel cells.

The facility uses a variety of renewable energy sources including solar and wind energy to generate the electricity required to split water into hydrogen and oxygen using electrolysis. The hydrogen can then be stored in pellets/discs for future use.

The oxygen is discharged into the atmosphere.

The facility generates no noise and only operates during daylight hours.

CARING FOR YOU!!

DENTAL PROSTHETIST

Please call...

5439 0388

74 Simpson St, BEERWAH The technology being developed could be used to provide power for remote communities, cars, boats, domestic supply systems and many other purposes.

The research and technology function is not a consistent use for rural zoned lands, and council officers have informed the applicants that for the application to succeed, they will have to show that the proposal has enough merit to overcome the conflict with the Planning Scheme.

It would have to demonstrate the community benefits of the operation, including why the business cannot operate from another location with the correct zoning, the merits of locating on this site, and any other alternative sites that were considered prior to establishing the use in this location.

The application will run through a full assessment process, including public notification. More details can be found at www.pdonline.sunshinecoast.qld. gov.au and search for MCU17/2156.

Passion for healthy living recognised

By Lea Parkes You may have read about or heard of the QCWA’s Country Kitchen program which is a really positive program to support people living in regional areas to improve their health by adopting healthier eating practices.

Since early in 2016, members of the QCWA Nambour North Coast Division Branches have become involved in the program and have been working hard to engage with the local community to create awareness of both the hands-on nutrition workshops and talks and the program’s key messages. These activities have included involvement of the Maleny and Glasshouse Girl Guides, QCWA Beerwah Market Days and partnerships with the University of the Sunshine Coast, Maleny Neighbourhood Centre and Flexi School.

The orange aprons of the Country Kitchens Teams appear at all places where the community gather.

Free recipes and information are available for those who would like to take part in healthy food choice activities.

QCWA Maleny member and

Dr Jeanette Young, Chief Health Officer, presents Maleny QCWA member Judy Stubbs with her award NNC Facilitator Judy Stubbs has passionately embraced her role and, thanks to the dedication of Branch Facilitators and members, was recently awarded the Facilitator of the Year Award.

The key messages of the program that Judy is keen to share are that we should eat more fruit and vegetables, we should cook at home more, we should sit less, move more and make sure we check our portion sizes and be aware of the sugary drinks we consume.

Congratulations, Judy. Here at GC&M News we are looking forward to sharing more about the Country Kitchen program in 2018.

Help empty the shelter

Sunshine Coast Animal Rescue Service is hoping to find forever homes for as many of their rescue dogs as possible with their ‘Name my fee to set me free’ campaign on Saturday and Sunday, December 9 and 10, from 10am-5pm.

SCARS volunteer treasurer Penny Brischke said: “We are hoping the Sunny Coast will take advantage of this great opportunity to find a dog for their families before Christmas.

“We really would love for all of these dogs to be in homes for Christmas and would love for the shelter to be empty.

“Unfortunately, that is unlikely with this period being a busy one for cats and dogs finding themselves homeless over the Christmas holidays.”

SCARS is inviting the public to tell them what they want to pay to adopt one of their dogs, with the proviso that it must be a three-figure amount

FANTASTIC Gift IDEA ...

and all usual adoption conditions will apply, and it doesn’t include dogs under six months of age, small breeds or pure breeds.

All animals receive an initial vet check and care including heartworm, worming and flea prevention, vaccinations, food, shelter and care, de-sexing and micro-chipping, and adoption prices include all of this and registration with the local council.

SCARS, an independent, not-for-profit charity, cares for up to 50 dogs and 50 cats at any one time and saves 1,000 cats and dogs every year.

SCARS relies heavily on government grants and the community to keep operating and spends over $250,000 on vet care each year.

The Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge is located at 28 Sippy Creek Road, Tanawha. For more information visit www.sippycreek.com.au.

Community Playgroup of the Year The Coonowrin Kids Playgroup that meets at the Glass House Mountains State School during the school term was recently recognised by Playgroup Queensland as the Community Playgroup of the Year.

Peachester Playgroup kids love their new playground!

It was a special day for the families at the Peachester Playgroup last week. They not only held their break-up celebration for the year, they enjoyed a visit from Santa and they were also able to play in their wonderful new playground for the first time.

During the year Playgroup Queensland successfully gained a Gambling Community Benefit Grant of $20,000 for the Peachester group to replace the existing playground.

The playgroup’s co-ordinator, Krysty Idle, and her husband Ryan, through their Landscape business Charmak Landscaping, have worked tirelessly and collaboratively with their business contacts to be able to use the grant to create a park that would have cost between $40,000 and $50,000 to install.

Through some very generous in-kind support Krysty Idle with her daughters and installation work, as well as being Makenzie and Charlotte able to access some additional near-new equipment that could be repurposed, the playground is an absolute hit with the playgroup.

Krysty said the playgroup members are keen to continue the expansion of the playground facilities and next year the group hopes to be able to incorporate a bike track around their shed as well.

The playgroup meets on the grounds at the back of the Peachester Hall each Tuesday morning during school term time.

The playground is also available for use by the community outside of this time, which provides a valuable resource for the area’s young families.

Help needed in war on Lantana

Have you seen galls on Lantana bushes?

If you have, Biosecurity Queensland wants to hear from you as it may be a biological control their researchers want to monitor.

Lantana bud mite (Aceria lantanae) was released in Queensland in 2013 as a new effort in the battle against lantana.

The microscopic mite feeds on the plant, causing galls (abnormal growths) to form on the flower heads which reduces seed production and spread, or on the vegetative material which stunts the plant growth.

Biosecurity Queensland needs your help in monitoring for galls to assess the spread of the mite. If you have seen galls, please take a picture and note the location (GPS or street address) and send these to the research team by emailing kelli.pukallus@daf.qld.gov.au.

For further information about the proposed Trustee Lease Any questions about the proposed Trustee Lease and development of the operational Peachester Rural Fire Station should be directed to the Planning and Property Manager on (07) 3364 6232.

Making a submission about the proposed Trustee Lease Any person or entity may make a submission about any aspect of the proposed subdivision of land and proposed development should: • be in writing, dated and signed by each person or entity who made the submission; • state the name and address of each person or entity who made the submission; and

Submissions are to be clearly marked as “Peachester Rural Fire Brigade” addressed to Planning and Property Manager, Property and Facilities, Public Safety Business Agency, GPO Box 1440, Brisbane QLD 4001 and received on or before Tuesday, 2 January 2018.

Pikes Road, Glass House Mountains Sunshine Coast Councillor Rick Baberowski is pleased to advise that road widening and upgrade of Pikes Road, Glass House Mountains is now complete.

The old road had a narrow, 4m seal width and narrow gravel shoulders. The works included full pavement reconstruction of a new 5.5m-wide sealed road with 0.5m-wide sealed shoulders.

Due to the amount of traffic using Pikes Road there was a high frequency of potholes occurring in the road and shoulders and it was unsafe for pedestrian movements. The works were aimed at resolving these issues.

As part of the works, the entrances to private properties were upgraded and new culverts were installed along the table drain which has been turfed and grass seeded.

Pikes Road bend In addition to the road upgrade, the existing concrete causeway, which was cracked and undermined, has been re-constructed. The new causeway is now 7m wide with new culverts, headwalls and rock scour protection installed.

The works came in ahead of schedule and on budget.

Travel with Penny in 2018 Hello fellow gardeners and travellers. Aren’t the gardens thriving with the great rain we have enjoyed over the past few weeks. Surprisingly, the Camellias and Magnolias still have flowers along with many others which is totally out of season!

What an exciting year 2017 was for me in international travel with my groups touring to Sri Lanka, Canada / Alaska, Singapore and Japan.

My domestic tour program included visits to the Hunter Valley region, South West of Western Australia, Melbourne / Tasmania, Norfolk Island, Ulladulla and Toowoomba.

The gardens were absolutely beautiful, from the native Orchids and flora of WA to the Rhododendrons and Azaleas in Tasmania, not to mention the lovely gardens of the Hunter Valley.

I escort all of my group tours, arranging transfers to Brisbane to make travel a complete experience.

All you have to do is pack! Even though my tours are garden inspired, general sightseeing is always included, from the famous to the little known attractions of each area.

A morning tea and get together to meet fellow travellers takes place a few weeks before each tour. I have my itineraries ready for 2018 and I suggest you book early to avoid disappointment.

MARCH

March sees us heading off to the Melbourne Flower Show, a spectacular event with so many plants and designer gardens. One of the highlights is lunch on the famous Tramcar Restaurant.

April is Cherry Blossom time in Japan, a sight not to be missed. Mid-April sees me escorting a group to Sri Lanka, one of my newer destinations with so much to see and do.

In May we travel by train to Longreach, including a day trip to Winton for some true outback scenery and hospitality. This is an extremely popular tour and not to be missed!

We then have a wonderful tour to China in October for the autumn spectacular, which also includes the Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors, and the Yellow Mountain area.

There is a choice of two destinations in November with the Adenium Festival in Taiwan which includes a grafting demonstration of these beautiful plants. We also visit Taroko Gorge, Sun Moon Lake, a very interesting rice museum and much more.

New Zealand is the last tour for the year, taking in some gorgeous gardens and the beautiful scenery that both islands are renowned for.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my previous groups for joining in on our memorable

Holiday security - Along with Christmas comes school holidays, a great opportunity to get away for an extended holiday or just a weekend. If you are going away keep in mind these home security tips: • Key lock all windows and doors, don’t just ‘flick the latch’.

• Don’t leave keys in ‘hiding spots’ outside your home.

• Hide valuables in a safe place – including car keys.

• Arrange for someone you trust to house sit or regularly check on your property and make your home look lived in by collecting mail, putting bins out and keeping lawns tidy.

And most importantly, enjoy your holidays!

Christmas trees - With Christmas fast approaching the decorations and trees will be going up in many houses. Surrounded by pine plantation as we are, it can be very tempting to ‘pick your own’ tree. I’d just like to remind everyone that the pine plantations are managed by HQPlantations who own all the pines including the ‘wildlings’ growing in the plantation area. Trees growing on the road reserves are owned by the Department of Main Roads. Taking any of these trees is an offence.

Wrap up 2017 - As always there are so many people to thank for all their help during the year: Firstly, our lovely Volunteers in Policing at Beerwah, Vikki and Brian, who do so many things to help every week.

The Beerwah Neighbourhood Watch group, particularly for supplying the nonreversible number plate screws for the public and for our very successful Dogs on Patrol day.

The businesses that have supported the Blue Light throughout the year, Beerwah IGA and Woolworths, Australia Zoo, Big Kart Track and Aussie World, it couldn’t happen without you.

To all the schools in the area that invite me to come and speak to the students or attend events, I wish I could get to all of them, but sometimes it’s just not possible.

Lastly thanks to Glasshouse Country & Maleny News for both allowing me the space and reminding me when my column is due.

To all the communities in Beerwah Division, have a happy and safe Christmas and New Year.

Duke of Edinburgh International Award

Is your 11½ -17 year old already looking for something to do during the holidays? They could try participating in the Duke of Edinburgh International Award at either Bridge Award level for the 11½ year olds or Bronze Level in the International Award for 14 years upwards.

Completion age for all levels is 25.

Participants set goals for themselves to achieve, in a new or existing skill, physical activity and volunteering.

An adventurous journey completes both Awards, and most of it can be done over the school holidays. There are a huge number of preapproved activities that cater for everyone, so they can continue with their favourite activities or set challenges to learn new ones.

Cost for new participants for the Bridge Award is currently $42.50 and $150 for Bronze. These will rise in the new year.

If your grade 12 student is already a participant, just because they’ve left school, doesn’t mean they can’t continue with the Award.

Mullum Music Festival 2017

I had the pleasure of attending the Mullum Music Festival at Mullumbimby on the November 18 weekend. It is three hour drive south and as we volunteered to work at the festival and planned to stay in the camping ground it wasn’t going to be an expensive weekend.

However our vehicle broke down just before getting there and, although ‘saved’ by my RACQ membership, the budget was blown there and then. Oh well, the festival itself is fantastic, so I’m still happy we went.

It incorporates the whole town which is a clever idea, and the nine venues run for the three days of the festival. The walk between the two most distant is less than a kilometre, which most have no problem with, but two magic buses (colourful double deckers) run throughout the festival providing transport and a further fun element to the whole event.

For me it was the pleasure of so many new acts that was the main attraction of Mullum. Although I am a huge fan of the artists we have in South-east Queenland, south of the border you are more likely to hear Sydney and Melbourne acts. Two that struck me were the Teskey Brothers and Husky. Husky features the wonderful keyboardist Gideon Preiss along with lead vocalist Husky Gawenda who has a David Crosby (of Crosby, Stills and Nash) tone – a beautiful voice and paired with Gideon’s harmonies, it is a sound to die for! The Teskey Brothers are a little more inclined to soulful, bluesy music with an Allman Brothers influence appearing in Sam Teskey’s guitar work. Again definitely worth travelling for. The extraordinary vocal range and tone of Harry James Angus of Cat Empire fame evokes that of Louis Armstrong, and when combined with the harmonies of his Struggle with Glory project members and the superb band – a modern take on old time jazz and gospel, one is transported!

But wait there is more! Speaking of Cat Empire, keyboardist Ollie McGill was there with his wonderful jazz crossover trio, and Hussy Hicks and Lion and the Leaves with their harmonies, and acoustic sound driven by percussion, were fantastic. I was keen to hear Jon Cleary and the Monster Gentlemen with their funky New Orleans vibe (for me at times reminiscent of Les McCann), but the volume in the venue spoiled it for me. I am picky about PA sound and overall it was good at this festival, but there was the occasional average sounding show. That said, put Mullum on your music festival list for next year, the above acts were only a small taste of what we enjoyed.

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

Christmas News Meals for Aussies in need this Christmas Glasshouse Country and Maleny residents can share the spirit of Christmas at Woolworths Beerwah and Maleny by purchasing a special OzHarvest token for just 50 cents to help provide a meal for an Australian in need.

OzHarvest Sunshine Coast Chapter Coordinator Michele Lipner said: “For many families in Australia, Christmas will not mean a nourishing meal and an abundance of joy.

“Thanks to the Woolworths OzHarvest Christmas Appeal we can make sure good food gets to those in need over the festive season and throughout the year ahead.”

Woolworths Beerwah and Woolworths Maleny Operations Manager Sam Williams said: “This year we are focused on sharing the spirit of Christmas with our customers and our local community.

“For just 50 cents, customers can play their part in sharing that spirit beyond their families and friends and help provide a meal for someone this festive season and support the growing need for hunger

relief across the region,” Sam said.

All customers need to do is add a 50 cent meal donation to their shopping at Woolworths Beerwah and Woolworths Maleny or online. By placing their name on any tokens purchased and hanging them on the Christmas tree in store, they can share the spirit of Christmas. The more tokens purchased, the more meals OzHarvest can provide to help feed Australians in need.

Give the joy of reading this Christmas

As we start preparations for Christmas, spare a thought for those doing it a bit hard over the festive season and give the gift of literacy.

As a part of council’s Sunshine Coast Libraries festive celebrations, the annual Books4Kids Christmas gift drive has begun.

Sunshine Coast Libraries and the Salvation Army have once again joined forces to promote literacy and spread the Christmas cheer to less fortunate children around the region.

The concept is easy. You simply buy a new children’s book and drop it into any Sunshine Coast Library. You don’t even need to wrap it as the Salvation Army will look after this.

The books will be then distributed to less fortunate children and families by the Salvation Army through their Santa workshops.

The drive runs until December 18.

Parking meters take a break for Christmas Sunshine Coast Council is once again providing a parking meter fee amnesty in the Caloundra CBD for the Christmas-New Year holidays.

Council agreed to support the Caloundra Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s

20

request for an eight-week amnesty from Saturday December 2, running until the end of the school holiday period.

Division 2 Councillor Tim Dwyer said it was only fitting the day Santa came to town was the first day of fee free parking in Caloundra.”

Each of the 71 parking meters across the CBD was turned off and courtesy stickers placed on them as a reminder that no payment is required.

Small donation will make a big difference Organisers behind this year’s Glasshouse Country Community Carols are calling for community donations of non-perishable food items to help bring a little Christmas cheer to local families in need. Event coordinator Jenny Broderick would like to invite people to donate one or more nonperishable food items which will then be included in a ‘hamper pack’ and gifted to one of our local families who may be doing it tough this Christmas.

Suggested items include tinned food items, soup, pasta, sauces, rice, cereal, chips and biscuits.

In the spirit of Christmas, maybe a ‘Christmasthemed treat’ could also be a nice inclusion. Many people may have items already in their pantry that they could easily donate and even a small donation will make a very real and meaningful difference to a local family this Christmas.

The Glasshouse Country Community Carols will be held on Saturday December 16 at Turner Park, Beerwah from 4.30pm-8.15pm. Donations can be brought along on the night and placed in a specially marked trailer. However, in the lead up to the event, if you would like to donate any food items, you can drop them into the GC&M News office

Maleny IGA elves will be busy gift wrapping

Lea and Tara from GC&M News getting the donations started (16 Coonowrin Road) anytime during business hours until lunchtime Friday December 15.

If you know of a family who could use a little extra joy this year, then please email Katy at kathy.eddie@gmail.com or contact her on 0414 922 726.

Don’t forget to send your letters to Santa

The busiest night of the year is fast approaching for Santa and his little helpers, and Australia Post is urging children to post their letters to Santa soon so there is plenty of time for him to reply.

Make sure you send your letters to Santa, North Pole, 9999 with a 65c Christmas stamp on the front of the envelope.

Don’t forget to write your name and return address on the back of the envelope so Santa knows where to send his reply.

Santa Mail letters can be placed in either a dedicated Santa Mail box found at most Post Offices, just like this one outside the Maleny Post Office, or any red street post box.

While it is stressful enough going shopping and choosing something special for your loved ones, then you get everything home and the real work starts with gift wrapping!

However, this year the Maleny IGA elves are keen to decrease your Christmas stress by offering a generous gift wrapping service – in exchange for a gold coin donation they will wrap 10 of your gifts on Monday December 11 and Thursday December 14 from 10am to 2pm.

So all you need to do is present a receipt from Maleny IGA valued at $100 or more, then bring in your gifts (they don’t even have to have been purchased from IGA), make your donation and relax and let the elves get to work.

And that’s not all, Steve Maw from Maleny Coffee will also be on hand to make you a free coffee between 10am and noon. What a great offer!

Proceeds from the donations will go to the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre.

The elves do have one hot tip though; you will want to get in early as it is ‘first in best dressed’.

Year 5 students from Mooloolah State School recently went on their annual camp to the Queensland Conference and Camping Centre at Mapleton.

The students were very excited and could not wait to get to camp so they could let off some steam after a busy year of learning.

Mapleton camp offers team building activities as well as individual tasks to push yourself; whether it be to try something new or to conquer your fear of heights, there is something for everyone.

Activities included a giant swing, a flying fox, abseiling and archery, swimming, orienteering and Mia with a camp leader a whole lot more.

Even the teachers had a ball and Mr O’Donnell even found himself being a natural at archery, especially with the moving targets.

The students came back weary but excited to finish up their school year and get ready for holidays before moving into Year 6 for 2018 as the next school leaders.

Sensory garden planting

Elimbah State School Prep and Grade 1 students joined Moreton Bay Regional Councillor Adrian Raedel and Principal Leisa Wood in planting out the final sensory garden at the Elimbah Terraces Project.

The project has spent over $20,000 to upgrade the shaded embankment area near the oval and it features new sensory gardens, retaining and turf works, a seat and pathway. The finishing touches, stainless steel etched signs featuring historical and current photos of the school, were scheduled to be installed last week.

The project was made possible by the Gambling Community Benefit Fund, donations by Moreton Bay Regional Council and local businesses.

Cr Raedel is presented with a Thank You Certificate from Principal Leisa Wood and Elimbah State School students

Want to share your love of reading?

At Beerwah State School a Support a Reader volunteer assists individual children with their reading, engaging with them to build their confidence and enjoyment of books.

The art of reading is widely encouraged at Beerwah State School, and the program gives the opportunity for you to help too. Current volunteers enjoyed a morning tea, supported by Principal Ms Austen and many teaching and library staff.

Students will often be heard saying "Woohoo, I'm off to reading!" and their enjoyment and gratitude was obvious when the students happily made cards and well wishes for all volunteers.

Sherry Anderson, an existing Support a Reader volunteer, summed it up in one sentence: "Volunteers don't get paid, not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless!"

Teaching staff across all year levels at Beerwah State School are committed to ensuring that all students develop a strong foundation in literacy in the early years as a basis for progress in all future learning. This successful support program helps to ensure that all learners reach their potential in literacy. A short course will be running in March 2018.

Please contact the school on 5436 5555 if you are interested in becoming a volunteer or to register your interest in the Support a Reader course.

Introducing Nikki Lackey Last week Glass House Mountains Early Education Centre welcomed new staff member Nikki Lackey to their team of early education professionals. Nikki has been working for Queensland Childcare Services since July last year and is thrilled to be taking up a position closer to her home at Glass House Mountains.

Although she has just started, many of the children recognise Nikki from her previous visits to the Centre helping with relief teaching to cover staff members if they have been away.

Nikki is transferring to the Centre to take over the role of Lead Educator in the Senior Kindy room and brings an incredible wealth of knowledge to her role with over 30 years childcare experience.

Nikki will officially start her new position in the New Year and until then she is enjoying settling in and getting to know the other staff members, children and their families. She is looking forward to spending time with the children in the Senior Kindy room and has many years experience working with this age group.

Nikki looks forward to developing activities that have a sensory and messy creative play focus.

She understands the importance of allowing children to have fun and explore, and this type of play is fantastic for developing a range of skills.

“The kids love this type of play and get really engaged in the activities. I really try to make the room as fun as possible as we know that the more engaged and interested the children are – the more they want to learn,” says Nikki.

Continuity of care giver and familiarity of staff members for young children is very important, and Nikki appreciates that at Glass House Mountains Early Education Centre most of the staff members have been there for years.

Centre News

“I think it’s important for young children to feel comfortable and secure. By seeing regular familiar faces here, the children feel safe and happy and their learning journey is enhanced.

This is such a fun age – I’m looking forward to having lots of laughs!”

Although she has only just started, Nikki already feels very comfortable and ‘at home’ at the Centre. She has noticed that the children seem very settled and happy and that the staff and parents are all very welcoming and friendly.

“I love living in this community – it has all the attractions of a close knit small town feel with all the conveniences of a bigger place. I feel like we have the best of both worlds here!”

With school holidays fast approaching, now is a great time to finalise childcare options during the six week break. Catering for school aged kids, the Centre has a heap of fun and engaging activities to keep children happily occupied. To help with affordability, this year the Centre will be incorporating all additional incursion and excursion costs into the daily rates.

For more details contact Ange on 5438 7311.

The Centre is located at 2 Page Street, Glass House Mountains.

Centre Co-ordinator Ange and the team have been blown away by the incredible community support for their ‘It’s in the Bag’ Christmas charity campaign which finished last Friday.

Acting as a local collection point for the campaign which seeks to support women in crisis with practical items of personal hygiene and everyday care products – the team have been overwhelmed by support for this initiative.

“I just want to say a huge thank you to our community – we have had so many gorgeous handbags filled with goodies dropped off to us it’s incredible! It’s lovely to be part of such a generous community that cares for others especially at this time of year,” Ange said.

On the lookout for young golfers

The Maleny Golf Club is keen to enlist more young people into its ranks and is putting the call out to all budding juniors and children who are interested in learning to play golf.

The club is holding a free introduction to golf afternoon this Saturday, December 9, between 1pm and 3pm where children will be able to participate in a couple of hours of fun activities.

No golfing experience is required and all equipment will be provided with a qualified teaching professional on hand to assist with the activities.

Come and experience first-hand the beautiful Maleny course which is now about 30 months old. Information about the Maleny Juniors will be provided to parents on the day.

Contact the golf club on 5499 9960 if you are interested and would like to know more.

Anyone unable to attend, but who is keen to participate in future planned club events for juniors can leave their name and contact details at the club.

Sunshine Coast teenagers and avid gamers Landan Porter and Riley Over have come up with a unique school holiday event that will cater for likeminded kids aged 14-17.

Wanting to create a social activity based around their keen interest in gaming, the creative duo have teamed up with local charity SunnyKids to launch ‘The Player eSports Tournament’ on Saturday December 16 at The Hive Business Space in Maroochydore.

Starting at 10am, pre-registered competitors will be battling it out “face to face” using PS4 and Xbox One consoles with the ultimate winner claiming ‘The Player’ title and a cash prize.

All the necessary equipment (games, consoles, and controllers) will be provided, however competitors can bring their own controller if they prefer.

The day will involve an individual round robin competition over three games with participants having two games each on Fifa (Xbox1), Project Cars (Playstation) and Rocket League (Xbox1). There will be a chill out zone and Smash Bros to play while not in competition. Competitors get points for a win and there will be a second chance draw.

Organisers are planning to have a projector screen showing a ‘director style’ live stream of the event for spectators along with the stream being broadcast to YouTube and Twitch.

This inaugural eSports Tournament will seek to encourage kids to interact and socialise in real time rather than socialising through online systems and non-face-face interactions.

The event is designed so that participants will experience a safe and engaging competitive forum for entertainment, fun and excitement.

‘The Player eSports Tournament’ is on December 16 from 10am to 3pm at The Hive Business Space, 55 Plaza Parade, Maroochydore.

Tickets are $25 and are available from theplayer.com.au. For details, check out www.facebook.com/ theplayeresports/.

Park for the Precinct

We are pleased to hear that the Maleny District Sport and Recreation Club, head leasor of the Precinct site so beautifully suited to a park, has agreed to this.

We commend MDSRC and look forward to a comprehensive consultation with the Maleny community to ensure that the park has the facilities people want, a design scheme that captures the unique environmental values of this precious part of the world, and the amenities to ensure that everyone, fit and frail, young and old, is welcome.

Messages in support of the park posted on our

CONDITIONS Please keep your letters under 300 words, your name, address and daytime phone number must be supplied. Letters must focus on issues and not be personal attacks on individuals. Letters may be edited.

campaign website bear witness to the community's eagerness for a park. Two recent posts remind us of the importance that parks are about inclusion: “Maleny is very beautiful place. Our family has been here 4 years. There is not any good children's park in Maleny. The one that is close to the Maleny library is too small for many children and it is also very close to the main road and it very noisy all the time. So, I think children in Maleny really need a good size park a little bit away from the main road."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I am managing progressive multiple sclerosis, so I am enthusiastically supportive of a community park, not just an open area, but a Park.

A 2015 Victorian Government report, 'Healthy Parks Healthy People', reflects my enthusiastic support.

Parcel delivery nightmare

For over a year now, our parcel delivery service has been absolutely abysmal. Anything that comes via Startrack never makes it to the door, whether it be a signature required item or not.

Most of the time we don't even get a slip to let us know that the item is awaiting collection. We simply have to keep checking at the post office, which we shouldn't have to do considering we have already paid for it to be delivered to the house.

We are almost always home, and I highly doubt a year's worth of online shopping and gifts have just all coincidentally been delivered on the rare occasions nobody is home.

Any mail small enough to come with the local postie always arrives as it should, and the staff at the post office are always patient with our constant checking for our parcels.

In mid November we received reports from a couple of Landsborough locals that there were sheep grazing in the long grass at Peace Park.

Sadly by the time I had made my way down to check them out the offending animals had moved on.

I encourage anyone having similar issues to lodge a complaint with Australia Post. This issue is affecting locals, their businesses, and taking up the time of post office workers who shouldn't have to deal with someone else's workload.

Allyson Marshall Beerwah

Thank you, Beerwah Post Office

Thank you to the wonderful staff at the Beerwah Post Office who helped me with advice and rubber bands, sticky tape, etc, to send two lots of Christmas mail overseas. You showed the real Christmas spirit!

Thank you – could not have done without you.

Re: Too many killer cats

I agree whole-heartedly with Peter’s letter about cat problems in the November 29 edition of GC&M News.

Registered as a member with ‘Gardens for Wildlife’, the issue riles me something severe. The cats aren't the problem. The problem is the irresponsible petowners.

I've had several bird kills, newly planted vegetable seedlings dug out (when the cats use my gardens as their toilet), and am woken at any hour of the early morning when there are cat fights right outside my window. Several other neighbours have voiced disapproval (of irresponsible pet-owners) when their cars have been scratched by cats.

I have so much video footage of the cats visiting my place that I know, without a doubt, whose cats they are. I have no problem with cats. I like cats.

It's the irresponsible pet-owners I have a beef with.

I consider it about time that Council commenced policing this problem.

Self-employed? What you need to know about taking out a mortgage There are lots of great things about working for yourself. You are your own boss! You get to start work and knock off when you decide. But how does being self-employed affect you getting a mortgage?

Here, we help you navigate the process.

Get your paperwork in order. Employees generally need to show the last two or three payslips and a recent income statement to prove their income. For self-employed people, it’s a little trickier.

Most lenders will need to see tax returns or business activity statements (BAS) statements from the last two years, in order to adequately assess your income.

You may need to provide evidence of GST registration, and your ABN or Certificate 28

of Incorporation. You may also need to provide recent statements for your business transaction account.

Income consistency. Lenders are looking for a steady flow of income. If you are self-employed, income and expenditure may fluctuate year to year, especially if you have startup costs. If there is a big discrepancy between your tax returns, you might need to substantiate the variance by providing additional evidence. Talk to your broker and accountant about which documents you need to provide, to improve your chances of securing your mortgage.

It’s worthwhile using an accredited accountant to help track your income and expenses, and make sure everything is

airtight. If there are question marks about your income, it might work against you when you try to take out a mortgage.

Low doc mortgage. Some lenders go out of their way to attract self-employed people looking to take out a mortgage.

Some lenders only ask for one tax return.

Some also offer low doc mortgages, which means you need less paperwork.

Be aware, though, that low doc mortgages often incur higher interest, fees, and lenders mortgage insurance (LMI).

Low doc mortgages generally lend a maximum of 80 per cent, so you will need to make sure you have a good deposit.

You will still need to provide BAS, GST registration, and your ABN. Have a great credit rating. Keeping

your credit card debts low and your repayments swift will work in your favour when lenders assess your eligibility for a mortgage. Do all you can to prove your integrity to the lender, to better your chances for eligibility.

For more help contact your personal mortgage adviser Teresa Harrison today.

New cervical screening test A new cervical screening program has come into effect from December 1, replacing the two-yearly pap test.

Those aged between 25 and 74 years will be eligible to take part in the screening program every five years.

Cancer Council Queensland CEO Chris McMillan said the new Cervical Screening Test would be more effective than a pap test and just as safe.

“The new test will directly detect the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes almost all

Acupuncture

cervical cancers before abnormal cell changes occur, ensuring that the development of cervical cancer is caught early,” Ms McMillan said.

“The new Cervical Screening Test is more accurate and effective, and for that reason, women don’t need to be screened as frequently going forward.”

If Queenslanders are seeking more information about the renewed Cervical Screening Program they can call 13 15 56, or speak to their GP.

Health Check Acupuncture @ Beerwah

Why do I feel depressed?

with Bernette Ledger

with Mary Crawford

An initial Acupuncture consultation will include an interview about your current health concerns, past health conditions, diet, lifestyle and work habits, menstrual cycle, stress, sleep patterns and how these things impact on health. You may also have your tongue and radial (wrist) pulse examined. From this assessment a treatment plan can be developed.

Treatment commences once assessment and a treatment plan is formed.

Treatment technique and duration varies according to what is presenting at the time of treatment.

Acupuncture is the most common technique where very fine needles are used at specific points in the body. This is not a painful process, but you can feel sensations from the insertion. Other methods include cupping, where suction cups are applied to body areas (this process can leave bruise-like marks but they quickly fade) and Moxibustion (burning a herb at certain areas of the body) – this is not burnt directly on your skin so won’t cause pain or blistering.

For more information call in to Acupuncture @ Beerwah, Shop 1/2 Turner Street, Beerwah. It’s the shop with orange doors, next to the barbers and across the road from Havachat Laundromat. Phone 0417 723 944 or 5439 0015 and ask for Bernette. Health fund rebates available.

It may be caused by some kind of traumatic experience.

Most of us think of trauma as being something only associated with the armed services or emergency services, but it extends much further to domestic violence, abuse of all kinds, a loss of a loved one – these are just a few examples.

Hypnotherapy & NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) will assist you to overcome these feelings.

It is the means of accessing the unconscious mind to make changes, and re-program new information.

I use several techniques to achieve this and one of them is TRTP (The Richards Trauma Process).

This process is rapid in getting results (usually achieved over three sessions over three weeks). The results have been amazing for my clients.

So, if you are living with these feelings, unshackle what is holding you back and start to enjoy your life again. It will “Change Your Life Forever”.

Dine In Take Out with Lea Parkes

Cappriccio's

After a busy weekend recently Brownie and I decided to head out for an early dinner at Cappriccio’s at Maleny and, it being a Sunday, we didn’t think we would need to make a booking.

As we drove into the nearly full carpark we started wondering if maybe a booking wouldn’t have been a good idea, and as we entered the restaurant we could see a huge table of twenty or so people. But all was good, and we managed to get a nice quiet spot by the fountain.

If you haven’t been into the restaurant before it is surprisingly spacious with plenty of outdoor dining both out the front and at the back on the edge of the Riverside Walkway and, with the L-shaped configuration inside, they can easily cater for group bookings and find a cosy spot for tables of one or two.

While we were waiting for our freshly prepared meals, owner Phil Venditti popped out of the kitchen to have a chat and I asked him about their group bookings. He explained that they did lots of group bookings, not just at Christmas but all through the year.

On the day before they had catered for a group lunch for around 45, and they are able to offer a range of options for the groups, including set menus and an all-you-can-eat buffet. So, if you are planning a good function, it is worth catching up with Phil and his wife Sonya to see how they can customise a menu for you.

After we first arrived we spotted another local

couple we knew and Brownie sneakily spied a spectacular plate of ribs on their table, so without even looking at the menu he had made his choice for the night.

As I was out with Brownie and not my regular work lunch companion Sonia (a dedicated vegetarian), I decided to go with another carnivores’ delight and choose the dramatically named Steak Vesuvius, where I cautiously opted for a medium strength capsicum and chilli sauce.

The meals were both massive, so sadly once again we had to turn down a look at the dessert offerings – however, we are going back next weekend and are just going to start with the dessert menu!

I am keen to try the new addition to the menu, Cassata, which is made for Cappriccio’s by Maleny Food Co (formerly Colin James Gelato) and I think I will try a Mud Slide Cocktail with it (yes, they even have some tasty cocktails on their menu).

Steak Vesuvius – tender Rump steak marinated in red wine and garlic, topped with a mouth- watering sauce of capsicum and chilli, hot or as mild as you like it

American Style Pork Ribs – deliciously meaty ribs, marinated in hickory barbeque sauce served with spicy wedges and salad

Christmas tree forest in Maleny

The Maleny Uniting Church will once again be creating a beautiful (and this year ‘colourful’) Christmas Tree Festival from Saturday December 16 until Christmas Eve on Sunday December 24.

Around 40 local community groups will be creating a forest of Christmas trees, with the theme of ‘colour’ and, while the traditional Christmas colours of red and green are bound to appear, you can be sure of some surprises.

Children will be well catered for. The trees will captivate them, and there will be hands-on activities, including the Kids Play Zone, to keep them busy.

There will be no live animals, but some realistic and appealing replicas.

All are invited to come along and view the amazing display of trees. Funds raised will go to RangeCare.

So, start off your colourful Christmas season at Maleny Uniting Church, 1290 Landsborough-Maleny Road, Maleny. For more details go to www. malenyuniting.com.au, find them on Facebook, or call 0409 268 665.

A Celtic Christmas

According to Irish singer-harpist Hilary O’Neill, Christmas is not Christmas without the blarney.

Sharing stories has always been part of Irish culture, and combining them with songs and music is a tradition reaching back to the ancient bards.

In her new show titled ‘A Celtic Christmas’, Hilary promises a joyful concert of carols, harp and blarney.

“While the audience will know most of the songs, I do include some lesserknown carols from other cultures,” Hilary said.

She tells of ancient Celtic customs that have now become Yuletide standards, and shares anecdotes of crafty little people sheltering from wind, rain and snow.

She will be performing in Maleny at the Community Centre on Thursday December 14 at 7pm. Bookings can be made by phoning 0415 323 899.

Tickets are $30 at the door (or $25 each for groups). For more information check out www.hilaryoneill.com.

ROSS’S RENTAL TIP INVESTMENT BUDGETING

Many of us budget for our car, entertainment, home, insurance, holiday, utilities, and spending expenses … but how many landlords have budgeted for their investment property expenses? Not just repairs and maintenance, but improvements and renovations on the big items that wear out and depreciate over time. An investment property is just like a car. A car needs a regular service and attention to cleaning inside and out.

Ross Rutledge Then there are those big items that we don’t like investing in such as the replacement 5499 9525 or of tyres, an alternator, brake pads or the 0447 787 020 engine. An investment property is no different.

Approximately every five years you should budget to replace the floor and window coverings, paint internally and improve kitchens and bathrooms if needed. I understand that this can be a great expense for the average landlord who is not a huge corporation with overflowing banks accounts.

However, it is an area that needs to be factored into your budgeting.

Vegie Notes

Fennel

When I was growing up wandering the waste lands, heavy industrial lots and railway lines around Port Kembla in New South Wales, fennel grew wild like a weed... tall, aromatic and just a damn nuisance when you were trying to walk between the fertiliser plant and the WW2 gun emplacements.

Old European men cut the long feather fronds by the armful to take home and feed to their backyard rabbits... “makes the meat taste sweeter,” they’d say.

Nobody else gave that feral fennel two glances, but nowadays it’s a delicacy and costs up to five dollars at the supermarket.

Fennel originates from the southern regions of the Mediterranean, loving a free draining alkaline soil, with reasonable amounts of organic matter.

The form most commonly grown as a vegetable is Florence Fennel, which forms a ‘bulb’ as it matures. This bulb is really just the white, swollen stem bases.

Not having grown fennel before, this last season was a trial and I’ve been pretty chuffed with the results.

Fennel season here in the subtropics is actually about February to July, but don’t think you can’t grow it out of season, as my crop has shown me.

Striking fennel from seed is pretty easy, but you’d best do it in a punnet or small pot. I now like using strawberry punnets, as the closed lid forms a nice humid warm little hothouse.

After a week or two, they’ll be up and away, but don’t plant them out in the prepared bed for another two weeks, so that they are established and can survive being transplanted.

They can be planted relatively close together – say 15cm apart, as you will be harvesting some smaller ones as they grow, making space for the others to grow larger.

Mulch well around the young plants and water regularly. As they need to grow strong healthy leaf fronds, you need to feed them a good balanced nutrient fertiliser, but they also benefit from a side dressing of blood and bone to boost the accessible nitrogen.

They don’t seem to have any pests or diseases that cause problem, so from that aspect they are easy care in our climate.

To grow good sized bulbs, you need to delay the plant from bolting to seed. The plant will throw out flower spikes if it feels stressed or disturbed.

So it’s important to keep the watering regular, don’t disturb the roots by weeding or digging, and if you want to take some of the feathery tops for salads, take bits from multiple plants rather than a lot from one.

You can harvest the plant by digging it out in its entirety or you can cut the bulb off leaving the roots and part of the bulb in the ground, which will then continue to shoot the feathery aromatic leaves for your salads.

Fennel bulb is great sliced in a salad or used in a stirfry or coleslaw mix.

Let one or two plants go to seed and you’ll have aniseed for your cooking and cakes.

Eco-Nursery Native Plants l Fruit Trees Habitat l Education

Close, Jan... it’s from the ‘stinkhorn’ group.

This one is commonly called a Red Cage Fungus or Craypot Stinkhorn (most likely Colus pusillus).

They are a fairly common sight, along with their related cousins the Starfish Fungus and the Red Stinkhorn.

All the stinkhorns are so named as they secrete a slime which smells of rotting meat. This is used to attract flies, which pick up the tiny spores on their legs and transport them around our environment.

The bits you see above the ground are just the fruiting bodies. The real fungus is growing beneath the mulch as a lattice of fine white filaments – called hypha (plural is hyphae). The hypha network then collectively forms the body of the fungus, called the mycelium.

It’s these filaments which act on the mulch and leaf litter to compost them down, making nutrients available to plants and other soil organisms.

At first you’ll see white egg-like structures at the surface, from which then burst forth the red cage arms of the fungus, normally in the early morning.

These only stay upright for a short period of time – normally just a day – after which they collapse and rapidly rot away. After this, you never really notice the fungus until you scratch at the mulch and see the fine white filaments (hyphae).

Crinoline Stinkhorn Stinkhorns are recognised as a poisonous species, with the Department of Health warning that they are “potentially toxic, depending on the level of exposure”.

They appear to be more of a problem for small dogs and possibly cats, which are attracted to the unpleasant (to us) smell.

There’s nothing we can really do to stop them from growing – in fact that would be impossible.

They are a native fungus that forms part of our Craypot Stinkhorn environment. emerging

The weather was almost perfect for this year’s final meeting, held in my and Gary’s garden.

Talk was focused about highlights of the past year and we enjoyed a barbeque lunch, with some members having a wander around the garden, which was looking better after some much needed rain.

A reminder to members that subs are due in January as the AGM is held in February. There will be no meeting in December and the next meeting will be on Thursday January 18 at 9.30am in the garden of Margaret Ferris, weather permitting. Visitors are always welcome. For more information phone 5496 9169.

This year we combined our Christmas breakup with the Peachester CWA. We enjoyed a fabulous lunch at Club Glass House.

I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Noticeboard Generous donations

Maleny Supa IGA and Spicers Tamarind Retreat generously donated to a recent Scleroderma Support Group's fundraising event, a very well attended movie night which raised $5,765.

The funds will be used for research into finding a cure for the debilitating disease. Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease with no known cause and no cure. It can be aggressive, painful and often fatal, affecting the eyes, skin, joints and internal organs. No two sufferers have the exact same set of symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose.

The group is very appreciative of the support of these local businesses. For further information regarding Scleroderma, contact 0417 615 733.

MALENY: Sun 10 am cnr McCarthy & Landsborough Rds

Towards the end of November every year I’ve this feeling of dread as the advent of Christmas comes on me. It is the dread of what my culture has made of Christmas; the emphasis on material possessions, stuffing yourself silly with carbohydrate rich food, drinking too much in order to put up with family members that give you further indigestion, and having to put up with really awful Christmas decorations and badly sung songs by the latest pop person or band. I hate it all and find no joy in it.

But the closer I get to Christmas Day, I change.

I begin to focus on the Christmas story in The Bible and it softens my hard heart. I hear a really good carol sung well, and my eyes tear up with the truth and revelation it brings of the coming Saviour of the world.

This year I have decided to address what Christmas is really all about, each Sunday in December.

Christmas is about food and feasting. The reason

Rev Scott Kroeger Maleny Presbyterian Church Christians celebrate Christmas with food and feasting is to commemorate with thanksgiving the advent of the coming one who offers himself for us to feast upon.

Christmas is about being with family – but it is not what you think. God has provided you with a family to nurture you, worship with you, grow with you, and it extends around the world past, present, and future.

Christmas is about giving gifts. Because God is generous and gives good gifts to his children – including his Christ, we must learn how and when to give appropriate gifts to others as a reflection of God’s goodness to us.

Christmas is about getting gifts. Our heavenly Father expects Christians to receive all gifts as if from His hand personally – including our salvation, with a proper acknowledgement and thanksgiving, along with a proper utilisation and care for the gifts of which we are now stewards.

Christmas is all about Jesus. It marks the pinnacle of human history. It marks the birth of Christ as the apex of the grand historical redemption brought to you by God.

Sport Maleny Bowls Club

Glasshouse Bowls Club

Contributed by Graeme Glover The weather has a real positive for our bowls club. The gardens are looking great and being appreciated by our members and visitors alike.

The artificial green, no does not grow, but actually plays really well after good rain as the bedding sand is saturated and the surface plays at a very good speed for the typical club bowler.

On the bowls front last week we had a great day of bowls on Monday for our jackpot pairs.

We were very pleased to see some of our newer members form teams and perform very well.

It is this support and willingness by members new to the club that contributes so much to these days.

I would like to say thanks to John and Sandra Kapertanic for their running these days for our club. It is appreciated by our members and the visitors from Pelican Waters, Kilcoy, Woodford and Mapleton who come and enjoy this day on a regular monthly basis. Thanks to all of them also for their support keeping these bowls friendships happening.

We didn't have any other bowls because of the rain.

On Friday evening we had an excellent Paella, Pie and Presentation night. During the evening all the culinary, bowls and volunteering skills of all our members were acknowledged. Congratulations to all who participated and the eventual champions for their support and success. The evening was a culmination of the 80 years by members past, present and future acknowledged in it being stated the quality of a club is the quality and generosity of them to give of their time to make the club a better place without any expectation.

This has been done by so many for so long; this is why we were able to celebrate a truly great evening not just for our club champions in the various formats, but for all members.

Thank you one and all from the club for your continuing support. We all look forward to many new challenges and bowls adventures that we will travel together.

See you all at the club and on the green.

Contributed by David Hayes Wednesday November 29: Social Bowls and Business Bowls were both washed out.

Thursday November 30: Social Bowls – unfortunately due to the constant rain up until 12.30pm, it was too wet to bowl. We have a lot of people after a game this week so be prepared to play triples! Half of you will be.

Our Club Presentation lunch was a wonderful afternoon with 54 people turning up to what I must say was the best club presentations in quite a while. Everyone had an enjoyable few hours with some great food prepared by Club Glass House. Simon Richter was kind enough to play some live music throughout lunch which was fantastic. For the first time the board has created an award for the ‘Most Improved Bowler’ which was won by Grant Podmore and also ‘Club person of the year’ which yours truly was lucky enough to win. For those that didn’t make it, I highly recommend you get there next year if you can.

Thanks to all members for a great afternoon.

The final Police Bowls day and Christmas Lunch was held on Sunday. Thankfully the weather held off to get some bowls in before they all had lunch.

Thanks to the seven Glasshouse members who made the effort and came along to play.

The club has designed a new club jacket which will be great for the cooler months. The cost will be $110 each and you can view a photo at the office where you put your name down for games.

There is a sheet there to place your orders, along with the size you’re after, as we need an idea by January 25 so the jackets are here before winter.

They look unreal!

Our club Christmas Break-up Party is Wednesday December 13. Fun bowls to be played with plenty of prizes and raffles. Morning tea, lunch and bowls will cost $20, and for non-players $16.

Please bring a $10 gift for the tree. This will be a great way to end the bowling year.

Surfcity Darts

Beerwah Golf Club Contributed by Roger Bonhomme Men's and medley results For the second Wednesday in a row, last week's competition was cancelled due to heavy rain. Our dams are full thank you Huey. What we need now is a bit of sunshine, please!

Saturday's men's monthly medal stroke was held in fairly sloppy conditions. Only 11 players broke nett par and the rundown went to three over, 75. It must have been difficult out there.

Jason Voros and Jim Wells tied on 68 to take A grade honours. The countback computer gave Jason the win. In B grade a countback was needed to separate Phil Sell and Tony Del Forno on 70. Phil took the win. A visitor from Gracemere Lake Golf Club, Cam McNeil, took to the course like a duck to water (so to speak), winning C grade with an excellent 65 with Ross Woodward a distant second on 70.

NTPs: 2 - Jim Wells, 5 - Col Penney, 16 Robert Griffin, 18 - Murray Elks.

Members are reminded that the wet weather ‘carts on paths only’ rule means just that – don't drive on fairways! Leave your golf cart on the path adjacent to your ball and carry a club or two to the ball.

School holiday tennis with Katya The Witta Tennis Club is offering a Kids Fun Day on Thursday December 14 from 8am-1pm. There will be fun and games, a mini tennis tournament and hot dogs, all for $25.

After Christmas the club will also be offering Junior Tennis Clinics on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, January 10-12, from 8am-11.30am.

The sessions will include coaching, drills and games, as well as morning tea and fruit, for $25. Book with Maree Hooley either by email, mareehooley@gmail.com, or phone 0437 295 501.

Just for Laughs Rudolph the Red

There was once a great Czar in Russia named Rudolph the Red. He stood looking out the windows of his palace one day while his wife, the Czarina Katerina, sat nearby knitting.

He turned to her and said, "Look my dear, it has begun to rain!" Without even looking up from her knitting she replied, "It's too cold to rain. It must be sleeting."

The Czar shook his head and said, "I am the Czar of all the Russias, and Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear!"

Your Stars ARIES March 21 - April 20 The emphasis over the next week is to pursue your distant interests and perhaps overseas contacts. The Sun and Venus join up with Saturn in Sagittarius which will draw your attention to supportive business alliances. Put these on hold until after the 22nd as Mercury is going retrograde and that often brings trouble with holiday travel and shopping plans.

TAURUS April 21 - May 22 For some of you December is the month when you would like to check on your tax matters and any partnership finances. It is always good to see how well you have done through the year and start planning for being thrifty and resourceful in 2018. If things do go well in paying attention to your business interests, there could be a sense of emotional wellbeing.

GEMINI May 23 - June 21 From the beginning of this week when you had the Full Moon in your sign, it has the joy of bringing a major social and romantic shift that can take burdens off your shoulders!

There is now the need to take into account the possibility of changing conditions. The weekend may see a sudden early morning change of plans or excitement that generates promising plans.

CANCER June 22 - July 22 From Wednesday to Thursday, the Moon in your sign makes you want to have things go your way. From Thursday to the weekend there may be news or a decision about a work or health issue. Don’t overreact if the issue becomes serious. Mars enters Scorpio over the weekend and that helps you produce some brilliant ideas.

Week Beginning 06/12/17

GC&MNews Crossword 621 1

The Santa Claus at the shopping mall was very surprised when a young lady aged about 20 years old walked up and sat on his lap.

Now, we all know that Santa doesn't usually take requests from adults, but she smiled very nicely at him and so he asked, “What do you want for Christmas?”

“Something for my mother, please,” replied young lady sweetly.

“Something for your mother? Well, that's very loving and thoughtful of you,” smiled Santa.

“What would you like me to bring her?” said Santa.

Without pausing, the lady answered quickly, “A millionaire son-in-law.”

LEO July 23 - August 22 From Thursday to the weekend the Moon is in your sign, giving you a boost to confidence and great for performing, entertaining and having lots of fun mixed with romance! So the Stars are with you if you have something of a personal nature that you want to put over, and all you have to do is turn on the charm and watch the magic happen.

VIRGO August 23 - September 22 If you are involved in something creative, and perhaps mystical, there will be lots of activity arriving by the weekend. The Moon shifts into your sign by Saturday, through to Monday, and this signals a shift of the spotlight onto you. With Mars entering Scorpio this deepens your already analytical mind and many of you will be involved in estate matters or research.

LIBRA September 23 - October 22 Last weekend’s Full Moon indicated a busy period for you this week. It seems you are on the move and talking a lot too! By the weekend good ideas are flying about and may demand quick action. It’s a good weekend to enjoy activities that stimulate the imagination. The coming days see some holiday shopping; trust your instincts!

SCORPIO October 23 - November 22 There is a financial decision over the next week which can lead to some very successful actions and hopefully you will get private support from those in authority. By Friday make your day feel worth every penny by purchasing some fancy gifts. Remember not to make an impulsive purchase which may end up causing problems – it should have been left behind.

What would you like for Christmas?

33

SAGITTARIUS November 23 - December 22 This could be a happy and prosperous month ahead for you. First, the Sun is now in your sign until the 21st December, adding to your vitality. As Mercury and Venus also visit your sign you should find you are living the good life now and arrangements are being made to have parties over the weekend. Enjoy good food and drink with your friends.

CAPRICORN December 23 - January 19 Going to Christmas parties with a friend or group that shares a common cause can get your motors revved up to really accomplish something! Forget about analysis or measurements and look for more lunch or dinner time warmth instead. Mars enters Scorpio over the weekend, driving your sector of friendship, social connections, hopes and dreams. A convivial mood arrives!

AQUARIUS January 20 - February 19 This week you have a decisive mind and a steady application of energy. That is an unbeatable combination! If possible, allow your mate, or friend, or close companion to take the initiative because you will be in excellent hands. Because Mercury is retrograde you will need to protect yourself against distractions and misleading influences. Don’t hang yourself out to dry!

PISCES February 20 - March 20 A major career decision points the way to the right action and correct leadership. Avoid the tendency to exaggerate when you are laying out any plan. If you get your facts right, and don’t promise more than you can do, you will see your own best creative power. Mars enters Scorpio which will benefit your sign, charging you with emotional fuel to act, especially on travel.

Discover your place in the Stars! Find your lucky cities, national or overseas.

DENTAL EXCEL - caring for the Hinterland community for over 19 yrs Dr Raj Kengaiha Dr Raj Kengaiha has been with Dental Excel at Beerwah and the Coast for nine months and before that was in dental practice in regional NSW following his moving with his family to Australia in 2013. He was very keen to practice dentistry in Australia and also wanted to give his two sons the opportunities of a different lifestyle in Australia as well as the whole family now being able to enjoy the wonderful weather and amenities of the Sunshine Coast.

Raj was originally educated in India and completed his 5 year Dental Degree at the prestigious Bangalore University in 1997. He brings with him a large amount of experience to the benefit of his patients after practising as a busy dentist since then.

Although interested in all aspects of dentistry, Dr. Kengaiha 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 – and has commenced several cases; and is in the process of becoming a Member of the Royal Australasian

College of Dental Surgeons (MRACDS).

He has an overriding passion for Cosmetic Dentistry and has completed many ‘smile transformations’ in his 20 years in dental practice.

As you can see, Raj continually seeks to update his professional development and education to provide the best possible care for his patients. He appreciates how welcoming he has found all of his patients to be and does his utmost to set them at ease and care for them in as gentle a manner as possible and always greets them with a welcoming smile.

He enjoys working with the friendly team at Dental Excel Beerwah and appreciates how the practice is always seeking to provide better and wider options for our patients who trust us with their care.

Outside work, Raj enjoys long walks, swimming and playing badminton and tennis with his two boys. He also loves reading books and listening to music. His current passion is photography.
