Vandals hit Mt Beerwah

MOUNT Beerwah has been closed after vandals defaced parts of the iconic hinterland peak by using power tools to carve words into rock.

Queensland Parks and Wildlife said the attack took place on either May 20 or 21.

It came just weeks after Jinibara man, BJ Murphy, urged climbers to consider the cultural importance of the site.

“I encourage people to connect with country, just be mindful and consider the request of local custodians in honouring their significant and sacred sites,” he said at the time. The mountain, which has already claimed the life of a climber this year will be closed while repairs are made.

ON THE COVER

Landsborough’s Theresa Horgan is appearing in the Maleny Players’ production, Dancing at Lughnasa, from June 15.

FROM THE EDITOR CONGRATULATIONS to the Maleny Show Society for a 100th celebration befitting the best regional agricultural show going.

It is not easy balancing the true spirit of an agri show with the need to attract new audiences but this year nailed it.

From Bluey to bullock weighing, showjumping and dinosaurs, it really had something for everyone.

It also beat the rain, which 100 years of Maleny shows will tell you is no small miracle.

From a film celebrating the show to a historical book that have brought the show together (and caused a few tears) the stallholders and vendors, volunteers and committee should rightly be proud of the contributions.

One thing outside the control of the Show Society was the ongoing issue of poor mobile reception in the area.

In a scene better suited to a script line from Utopia, the local mobile tower was switched off on Friday ‘for maintenance’.

Apparently nobody in authority had bothered to check the diary to see if there were any events - such as a public holiday show day - and so went ahead with the maintenance.

That means stallholders were dipping

FOLLOW US ON OUR SOCIALS

Mitch Gaynor out on transactions as a record crowd filed through the exhibitions. After a complaint or two was registered one committee member was told: ‘well we would have kept it on if we’d have known it was your show day’.

‘Next time let us know.’

It’s not just a switched off phone tower that’s the issue though.

The Maleny Chamber last week made the point that Maleny Wood Expo stallholders missed out on tens of thousands in sales when the network seized up, unable to handle a few thousand extra people on the range.

In the long weekend just gone you guessed it, the show faced the exact same issue. It’s not good enough and while the powers that be say they’re working on it, nothing seems to be changing.

Were you affected on the weekend? Tell us your experience at editorial@gcnews.com. au.

The more people making noise about this issue the better likelihood of a favourable outcome.

Realigned road nearly ready

Police target shoplifters

Maleny set to discuss Voice

BEERWAH police have begun covert operations at major retailers to curb a spike in shoplifting offences.

Senior Constable Michael Collins told GC&M News that plainclothes police were deployed to Woolworths and Fresh & Save at the Village Marketplace on Wednesday, May 31.

Offenders with a range of stolen goods, including expensive meat products, were taken into custody and charged.

“There had been an increase in local thefts particularly Woolworths and Fresh and Save,” Snr Const Collins said.

“So we planned an organised operation with four plainclothes officers attached to each supermarket as well as working with their loss prevention offices.”

The officers ran surveillance throughout the centre based on the most likely day to target offenders.

“We ended up getting three offenders with further follow-ups on eight charges,” he said.

“Some were reoccurring offenders wanted previously and one wanted in connection to multiple previous offences.”

Snr Const Collins said the aim was to make the initiative part of an ongoing operation aimed at curbing an increase in shoplifting.

“There will be more of these operations in the future,” he said.

He said while some were habitual offenders others addressed cost of living issues and the price of groceries behind the motivation to steal.

TRAFFIC will soon be switched to a new section of Steve Irwin Way near Beerburrum.

The roadworks, required for the Beerburrum to Nambour rail upgrade, realign a 1km section of Steve Irwin Way south of Glasshouse Mountains. Transport and Main Roads said the alignment was scheduled to start in the coming weeks with traffic to then be switched over in stages.

In the meantime drivers face reduced speed limits. “Switching traffic to the new section of Steve Irwin Way will be undertaken in stages,” a TMR spokesperson said. “These works will cause short-term traffic disruptions with changes to traffic flow, reduced speed limits, temporary road shoulder closures and occasionally a single lane closure.

MALENY Community Centre is set to host a seminar titled, The Voice - It’s Time to Listen, on Thursday, June 15. The event aims to shed light on the Voice to Parliament proposal, with distinguished First Nations speakers taking the stage.

Notable participants include Nathan Appo, the Healthy Lifestyle Officer at the Institute of Urban Indigenous Health, and Lara Watson, Indigenous Officer at ACTU. It is scheduled from 9:30am-11:30am with entry fees $10 to $15, covering refreshments. This is an opportunity for the community to engage in crucial discussions surrounding Indigenous representation and political voice. P15

New Beerwah social housing complex open

By Kirra Livingstone

COAST2BAY and State Minister for Housing Meaghan Scanlon have announced the completion of Akuna, a new social housing complex with 33 one and two bedroom townhouses in Beerwah.

The $11.7 million project is to help combat against the current housing and homelessness crisis in Queensland.

The project specifically helps older women who are most at risk of being homeless.

“This project is a great example of what can be achieved when government works with local community housing providers like Coast2Bay to help the most vulnerable in our community,” Ms Scanlon said.

“Projects like this are what our social housing program is about: helping Queenslanders get a secure roof over their head when they need it most.”

Coast2Bay Housing Group CEO Andrew Elvin said how important it is to have government partnerships to provide services like social housing, to those in need.

“Innovative partnerships like this one with the Queensland Government, make a very important contribution to social and affordable housing that meets community needs in growing regional areas,” he said.

“These townhouses will be more than a home, they will be a place for people to live affordably, be good neighbours, contribute to the community and be a place where families and individuals in need can flourish.”

Member for Caloundra Jason Hunt highlighted that the Sunshine Coast has seen growth in their social housing facilities in recent years, however appreciates how dire the housing crisis is right now.

“In just the last five years, we’ve delivered more than 160 new social homes on the Sunshine Coast,” he said.

“This new complex will provide help for the most vulnerable in our community, and importantly provides greater accessibility to local shops, services and public transport.”

Housing Minister Meaghan Scanlon, Caloundra MP Jason Hunt and new residents Amelia and Luca (centre).

contribution to social and affordable housing that meets community needs in growing regional areas such as the Sunshine Coast.”

Lake Baroon footbridge on Great Walk ready for walking again

THE construction of a new footbridge at Lake Baroon (Baroon Pocket Dam) has been completed, and the Baroon section of the Sunshine Coast Great Walk has reopened on the northern side of the lake near Montville.

A temporary closure of the trail was implemented during the construction of the $350,000 bridge to ensure public safety.

The new 11-metre footbridge, made of a resilient composite material designed to withstand the dense rainforest environment, is now accessible.

Dr Sheelagh Buttanshaw MBBS, Dip (Child Health)

Dr Edwin Kruys MD, FRACGP

It replaces the previous bridge, which was damaged by a fallen tree during flooding in 2022, and a temporary trail diversion was in place during that time.

The footbridge is located approximately 200 metres from the Narrows Road car park and will enhance connectivity between the lake and Kondalilla National Park, both integral parts of the picturesque Sunshine Coast Great Walk.

The bridge also features a non-slip surface decking for added safety.

Mansi O’Keeffe, Seqwater Manager of Operational Support and Improvement, expressed gratitude for the community’s patience during the construction.

Ms O’Keeffe highlighted Lake Baroon’s appeal as a stunning natural area nestled in the hinterland, attracting around 195,000 visitors annually.

Extension of accommodation fee waivers SUNSHINE Coast Council will continue to waive permit fees for those having to temporarily live in a tent, car, caravan or mobile home who, due to extenuating circumstances, find it difficult to pay.

The council said it recognised the impact of the housing crisis and increasing cost of living pressures and was aiming to provide reassurance to vulnerable people who were living in some form of temporary accommodation.

“Earlier this year we could only reduce the fees associated with temporary dwellings for the current budget cycle, but I want to highlight that those reduced fees will continue into the new financial year,” Councillor David Law said.

The reduced fee of $0 came into effect from February 24, 2023, and information on Council’s website can assist applicants in understanding and navigating the approval process.

Approval is for a limited duration, depending on the type of temporary home: • less than three months for a tent • six months for a car • 18 months for a bus, caravan, or mobile home.

Where more time is required, the fee to reapply for a temporary home approval is $392.

However, where Council has previously waived the fee, Council will again take into account any extenuating circumstances.

Croc Lodge wins local design award

Tradition is off the scales DESCENDANTS from one of the Maleny Show’s oldest competitions came together during the centenary celebrations last week.

The Bullock Weight competition has been going since 1925 when Bob Mackie Sr raised six pounds, six shillings from people attempting to guess the weight of the beast. Back then it was judged on dressed weight - but these days there’s no slaughter yard out the back, so it’s on live weight only.

The competition, now sponsored by Robert Barry from Barry Family Butchers raises over $2000 a year with proceeds going to the Show Society.

Descendant of the first bullock

Megan (Bob Mackie Jr’s daughter), Fiona (Bob’s daughter), Bob Mackie Jr, brother John Mackie, Robert Barry (current sponsor), Beverly Heading and Bill Hankinson. weighing butcher, Bob Mackie Jr, said how important it was to keep this tradition going and how supportive the community had been to the Maleny Show.

“It’s wonderful to see the show continue on and is still going. The Maleny Show

Society has done a great job at keeping it going,” he said.

“I continuously urge people to come along and don’t miss the Maleny Show, because it’s a wonderful event, it’s great to see these communities still support the show.”

An ancillary office is located at the front of the building while a staff recreation room and bathroom are also included within the building.

The remainder of the site will comprise enclosed vehicle storage and covered vehicle storage in the form of an open carport.

The unmanned site will also be screened by vegetation and other features and contain four visitor car parks, the application states.

“Due to (police)requirements, minimal public access is provided on-site,” the application states. “These car parks are appropriately setback and screened by a 2m landscape strip.

“The proposal is considered to provide efficient, easily discernible and safe access for visitors accessing the site.”

Impound lot proposal QUEENSLAND’S biggest tow truck company is planning to build a 24/7 car impound lot in Landsborough.

Clayton’s Towing has applied to the Sunshine Coast Council for a material change of use to a 3000sqm site at the currently vacant 6-8 Lenco Crescent.

The site will be used for the sole use of impounded cars although an application to the council does not state how many cars could be impounded at one time.

The proposal incorporates a single storey industrial building comprising 288m2 and a use area of 684m2.

The total combined gross floor area and use area for the site is 972m2.

CROCODILE Hunter Lodge by WD Architects is the recipient of the Regional Project of the Year at the 2023 Australian Institute of Architects’ Sunshine Coast Architecture Awards.

The Beerwah project is a luxury wildlife hotel and restaurant inspired by Steve Irwin’s legacy.

“Crocodile Hunter Lodge translates the well-known and loved Australia Zoo playfulness into a refined high-end dining and café experience with skilful restraint,” the jury said. “Rammed earth walls are a delightful feature throughout the internal spaces of this reimagined ‘agricultural shed.”

Crocodile Hunter Lodge also received a Regional Commendation in the Commercial Architecture category.

Other projects commended at the Sunshine Coast 2023 Australian Institute of Architects’ Regional Architecture Awards demonstrate the strength and diversity of the region’s architecture.

End of line for charity day

By Sonia Isaacs

Vandals hit Mount Beerwah MOUNT Beerwah has been closed after vandals defaced parts of the iconic hinterland peak by using power tools to carve words into rock.

Queensland Parks and Wildlife said the attack took place on either May 20 or 21 and came just weeks after Jinibara man, BJ Murphy, urged people to consider the cultural importance of the site.

“I encourage people to connect with country, just be mindful and consider the request of local custodians in honouring their significant and sacred sites,” he said at the time. The mountain, which has already claimed the life of a climber this year will be closed while repairs are made.

“Regardless of what it says, the graffiti is a terrible act. It looks clumsy and awful, and rangers and the community take a zerotolerance approach to offences like this in our national parks,” QPWS said.

“The mountain is an iconic feature of the Sunshine Coast and extremely important to the Jinibara People, the local Traditional Owners, and to the people of Queensland. “To have it defaced like this is appalling and QPWS will work with the Jinibara People to minimise the long-term visual damage.” Authorities are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying those who were involved. “Not only has this callous person/s extensively defaced an area of rock, but they have also caused immeasurable damage and hurt to the Jinibara’s well-being,” Regional Director Geoff Brittingham said.

“The mountain won’t be reopened until the healing has taken place and the environmental vandalism has been repaired.

“For the Jinibara people, I hope this will in some way provide time and space to seek to heal deeper cultural wounds.”

AFTER 50+ years, the Beerwah Charity Sports and Spring Carnival has finally come to the end of the line with Committee members left with no option but to shut down the much-loved community run event.

Despite ongoing pleas to the community in recent years and attempts to engage additional volunteers and support for the aging committee, not one new person attended the final call on May 24 to determine a probable future for the event.

Management committee members said that it was with a heavy heart that they were left with no other alternative but to end the 52-year association with the Beerwah Sportsground and local community as of May 31, 2023.

Outgoing President Bruce Page who has been involved since 1971, said he felt it was a sad day for the community but acknowledged that without new volunteers and the issue compounded by recent changes to management of the Beerwah Sportsground; to continue would have been difficult.

He said the secret to success of long running events like the Beerwah Charity Sports Day had always been the active involvement of the community, and a strong sense of community ownership, purpose

and camaraderie. “Whenever you see something like this event that has proven to be so successful for so many years - it all comes down to the community working together,” Bruce said.

“Although it is sad to have to call time on the even, we are proud that as a committee we achieved a great deal for our community and that we raised a lot of money for a great cause.

“It was wonderful to be part of such a rewarding event for so many years and see our community come together. It was hard work, but we all enjoyed it and made a lot of good friends.

“The community pride, fun and fellowship that came from these annual events was incredible.”

Bruce said while it was a difficult decision to end the event and disband the committee, he sincerely hoped that down the track something will emerge again to take its place.

“Apart from the huge contribution to cancer research and patient support, the Beerwah Charity Sports reflected community spirit at its best,” he said.

“We hope people enjoyed the event as much as we did and maybe one day, the community will decide to reinstate a Beerwah show or event for the future.”

Love tied up in a Rangebow

By Sonia Isaacs

IT SAYS something of Rangebow founder Wayne Parcell’s vision that after staring down the challenges of his inaugural 2022 festival, he has taken the time to step back, consider his options and decide: ‘You’re right. Bigger is better!”.

Channelling the best of a ‘you only live once’ vibe with his staunch philosophy of encouraging all to live their best lives, Wayne is back with a bolder and even brighter - if that’s possible - Rangebow Festival across the hinterland from August 10-14.

Based on the 2023 theme of ‘Dream, Love, Live’, the Hinterland communities of Maleny, Montville, Flaxton and Mapleton are coming together under the Rangebow Festival flag in a four-day celebration of community cohesion, creativity, and joy.

Wayne describes how a decades-long career in international hotspots and later as a diplomat he has sought to encourage people to live their best life and to be supported to live fully and authentically.

His aim is that this four-day festival is a stitch in time for a lifelong philosophy that encourages liberation, empowerment and inspiration in the myriad of events, ranging from world premiere theatrical performances and films to First Nations feasts and dance parties for families.

“What I truly hope is that guests find it not only fun but a wonderful opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and experience something new and exciting!” Wayne told GC&M News.

The 2023 program has responded to community feedback and carefully curated an even more expansive festival.

Wayne said he was thrilled that the festival could offer more events and

Featuring award-winning artists ‘Band of Frequencies’, bass heavy ‘one man instrumentalist’ Andy V, funk superstars ‘Thump’, talented songstresses Shanleigh Rose, and neosoul powerhouse Rosa Mack backed by a seven-piece band; this unique experience supported by Barung Landcare gives party goers a chance to extend the habitat of the endangered Southern Pink Underwing Moth by planting Carronia Vine. Naturally this fabulous moth with fluorescent pink colouring will also be a mascot of the Rangebow Festival.

Megan Lee from Barung Landcare said she was excited about the Plant and Party collaboration and how it would be a fun way for people to enjoy great music and connect to the landscape they were enjoying it on while also helping recover a species on the brink of extinction.

“This is a really special and vibrant event just like the entire Rangebow festival! It’s a great combination of fun where people can move their bodies and be uplifted by some great music and then also get inspired by nature surrounding them and help protect our local habitats,” said Megan.

Another big family friendly drawcard will be the ‘Dreamland-Pyjama Dance Party’ hosted by internationally acclaimed rave party event crew ‘Big Fish Little Fish’ on Friday August 11 from 3.30pm-6.30pm.

Renowned for providing a fun club like atmosphere for both big ravers and little ravers to enjoy together, this is an inclusive opportunity for families to share the exhilarating fun of high energy dance music DJ’s, lights and lasers in a family-friendly environment.

Great days out!

THE biggest crowd in the 100-year history of the Maleny Show was greeted to perfect weather and an incredible array of exhibits and events for every age.

Show Society president, Winston Johnston, said it was an incredible effort by the committee, volunteers, exhibitors and sponsors to create what was a very special two days (June 2 and 3).

“Without all these people we simply couldn’t deliver what I think everyone will agree was a very special 2023 show,” he said.

NEWS MEETCOMMUNITY THE PRODUCER

Jeremiah’s Crust By

Sourdough crumpets

Paula, Shaun and their three children

By Sonia Isaacs Producers Name: Paula and Shaun Morin Business Name: Jeremiah’s Crust Location: Carters Ridge (North of Kenilworth) Number of years in operation: Commenced 2015 Q: How would you best describe your business?

Passionately run family business with a strong emphasis on integrity and staying true to original values of producing products that are close to natural

Sourdough loaves

Brought to you by Maple Street Co-opwww.gcnews.com.au

source with minimal mechanical intervention. Getting back to basics to make bread the way it was made thousands of years ago.

Reconnecting with the magic of nature and working with it power.

Bread with four simple ingredients - flour, water, salt, and love!

Q: How did it all begin?

Unsatisfied buying bread full of additives and preservatives, with so many unnecessary ingredients - so we decided to research a healthier bread that could make at home and found sourdough; the ancient art of bread making.

Excited by bread that actually added nutritional value, and soon very quickly became obsessed! We started to share it with friends who encouraged us to start selling it.

From that we attended one small market which was a sell out! Then monthly pop-up bakes that were presold before they were prepared! With thoughts of sharing the passion formed for sourdough within our small town and to empower other home bakers, we started to run workshops. Expanding our family and plans, we moved from the Pilbara region WA to QLD, and continued our passion.

Now Jeremiah’s home is an ex-organic garlic farm in Carters Ridge, north of Kenilworth!

Q: What are your backgrounds/ interests?

I (Paula) previously worked as a Psychiatric Nurse and Child Psychotherapist and Shaun worked as a Skipper in the seafood industry and as a Miner. Both of us turned ‘sourdough artisans’ as we like to say! We have a bit of imposter syndrome about calling ourselves bakers given that we are not ‘formally trained’ in the commercial sense of the profession!

Q: Why did you call your business Jerimiah’s Crust?

One of the first things that we started with in our workshops was to name the sourdough culture that participants would learn to harness, love and nurture. When I first did this in 2014 in WA the name Jeremiah just happened to pop into my mind. I found it interesting later that the Hebrew origin of Jeremiah mean; to lift up, to be or become high. Which is very fitting for the work that Jeremiah does with simply flour and water!

Q: What is involved in making organic sourdough – how long does the process take to make each loaf?

Over 48hrs from building the leaven, to making and shaping.

Each loaf is hand weighed and shaped. Then placed into the cool room for slow ferment, which helps give Jeremiah’s Crust the flavour and crust that leave people asking what the secret ingredients are! It’s the best bread they’ve tasted. It also helps to unlock the health benefit associated with authentic sourdough.

Q: Is there a certification process involved?

Yearly registration with Gympie Regional Council for food Business.

Q: Why do you think people should eat organic sourdough?

We think there are benefits to eating organic authentic long fermented sourdough.

Tumeric loaf Some of the health benefits include no preservatives, support for healthy gut flora and blood sugar management. It’s easier to digest, and the fibre and minerals in the grains used have improved availability to be absorbed by the body.

Q: Where can people purchase your product?

Selling wholesale to various Organic and health food stores from Maleny to Noosa, to Maroochydore and Birtinya. We currently deliver twice a week to the Maleny Co-op.

Q: Anything else you’d like our readers to know?

Due to the lengthy process and skills involved, all of the best authentic sourdough is produced by small producers or micro bakeries therefore by supporting these small businesses, real dreams are being supported.

Lions celebrates 40 years of service Contributed by Mary McIvor THE Maleny Blackall Range Lions Club celebrated 40 years of service to the Maleny Blackall Range Community at our recent dinner meeting. The Maleny Blackall Range Club was chartered on the 15th April 1983 and Roger Jackson (deceased) was the first President. At charter night 29 members were installed as the first members of the club.

Chris Symons a current member of our club attended the Installation dinner at the RSL Maleny and remembers it as being a formal affair with 120 guests. He recalls the celebrations going on all weekend.

Numbers dwindled over the years down to about 9 members and when Bill Crawford was inducted in 2005 as President, he set about rebuilding the club to be the strong club it is today. Clarke Alexander is the longest serving member of the club at this time and he and his wife Lyn introduced the “Iced and decorated Christmas cakes” back in Bill’s time to raise awareness of our Lions Club. This project is still popular today.

Around 2006 Colin Sinclair, who has over 50 years’ service as a Lion, together with his wife Sue, came up with the idea of the Welcome Dinner (now known as the “Meet & Greet”) and this event has proven to be our Annual Signature Lions Project. This event is

held every September or early October and with the support of local businesses enables new residents of Maleny to learn about the services our community offers and to meet like-minded people.

The first woman President was Una Robinson 2000- 2002 who now lives in Beerwah, followed

by Chrissie Dittmann in 2002-2003 and then Helen Johnston in 2014 and currently 2020 -2023. The Club’s biggest growth in membership was 20 members in 2014 and another 20 members 2015 year during Peter Jensen’s year as President. Our club grew to 70 members and for practical reasons split into two clubs to service the Range currently The Maleny Blackall Range Lions Club and the Blackall Range Lions Club. Over the years our club has fostered the formation of the Mooloolah Valley Lions Club and the Beerwah Lions Club.

Our Club has won the Maleny District Sports Club Organisation of the Year Award several times and the Lions District 201Q3 Clubs’ Year Award (out of 75 clubs in the district) twice.

The club has a proud record of service to our local community and long may this service continue. For further information about our Club or membership email: membership.mbrlions@gmail.com

Feeding the Hungry Masses with Spencer and Karen Shaw

It’s that time of year when the temperatures start to drop and our native wildlife need to start eating their fill to keep warm and hopefully put on a bit of fat to keep them going through the cooler months.

Banksias, Grevilleas and Bottle Brushes are great nectar sources for Rainbow Lorikeets and Honey Eaters (and Noisy Mynah’s!) but many of the native birds of the hinterland and coast are fruit eaters and it’s great to plan food supplies for them too. A few that we have in-stock that fruit at this time of year include: The Plum Myrtles, Pilidiostigma glabrum and Pilidiostigma rhytispermum, they are smaller local rainforest trees, that can grow 4-8m in the garden, with beautiful dense bushy foliage and fluffy white flowers for the birds and tasty black fruit for the birds. Palm Lilies, Cordyline rubra and Cordyline petiolaris are also heavy with fruit. The small shrubby Orange Thorn, Pittosporum multiflorum is also a winter fruiter with its tasty orange fruit and bonus, spiky stems to provide extra habitat for small birds to hide.

As always in SE QLD, with our amazing biodiversity this is only the tip of the iceberg, plant fruiting shrubs, trees and vines and keep the birds and other wildlife fed and warm.

RangeCare has time on its side

Digging up the time capsule.

RANGECARE Flaxton had a blast from the past on May 31, after digging up the RangeCare time capsule, first buried in 2000 but reburied again in 2008.

The organisation plan to rebury the capsule again in September, adding things such as a Covid-19 RAT to symbolise how life has been over the last few years.

As for what was in the time capsule, there was newsletters, a USB and a disc with photos and videos stored on them, and old photos of past staff and volunteers.

RangeCare COO Gary Holland said it was great to invite past volunteers and staff, especially Peter Wellington and Gillie Warren who buried the time capsule back in 2008.

“Gillie was a long term secretary, she wore multiple hats, she’s a volunteer at the moment and Peter was a past patron of the organisation, and we asked them here today to dig up what they buried 15 years ago,” he said.

Gary also said that RangeCare is writing a book on the organisation’s history, and is hoping to get it into the time capsule before they rebury it.

“Past staff and volunteers are already talking war stories, and that’s the kind of spirit we wanted to capture today,” he said.

“As we talk about our history as an organisation, as we grow we want to keep our main cause to provide support to the community front and centre, because it still remains a constant for us.

“We are in the process of writing a history book, we have some information but the people who are here today have lived through it, so we want to learn their stories today to add them to our book.”

Mr Holland also revealed RangeCare has bought some land up the road for future development of the organisation.

ON Wednesday, 14th May, we finally enjoyed our postponed trip to Stradbroke Island. Our previous plan was cancelled due to bad weather and high seas on the Bay. We departed Maleny at 8.30 am to ensure we arrived in time at the Cleveland Ferry Terminal.

Despite the inevitable roadworks and bottlenecks along the M1, Andrew, our Mystic Mountains coach driver, managed to get us to the terminal in time to have a coffee before boarding.

It was an absolutely glorious day with the Bay as smooth as glass. On arrival at the island we all enjoyed morning tea at the

Tech strikes chord

By Dr Michael Whiticker

A COMPUTER, tablet/ipad or very smart phone, can be a valuable tool for a musician. Looking at it purely from a musical standpoint, it can provide you with a tuner, a metronome, a recorder and a source of accompaniment for your practice as a performer. With a little research you can find instrumental accompaniments and song backings (mp3 or midi file), lyrics, chords and useful tips and lessons online.

Music teaching software is now at the point where it can measure the quality of your work – even giving you marks for rhythmical accuracy and intonation.

Possibly the most fun you can have as a novice is with a program called Garageband (free with a Mac computer). It is a program that allows you to record musicians or import loops (samples of others playing) from styles as varied as techno, folk and classical music. It presents the music as a stack of horizontal tracks on a timeline and is easy to play with in real time, varying the drum tracks for the verse and chorus for example, or changing the key to suit your voice. Within an hour of installing the program you can be playing along with your new piece, singing or adding harmonies.

And after you have recorded yourself and added all the loops you want, you can balance the levels of the individual tracks and mix your piece down. Garageband also provides basic instrumental lessons with stars such as Sting and Nora Jones.

If you go the computer route you will need to be able to plug your instrument

Rosetta’s Great Reads The Lock-up

Reviewed by Lea Dodd From the master of crime and former Man Booker Prize winner – John Banville’s latest novel is more than just a murder mystery. The characters are so deeply drawn you’ll feel you know them, and the book provides an insight into the mean streets and politics of 1950s Dublin. When Rosa Jacobs is found dead in a car parked in a Dublin lock-up garage, her death is attributed to suicide. Protestant Garda detective inspector Strafford and pathologist Quirke suspect otherwise, and are determined to investigate further. You’ll recognise these two from Banville’s former books, but you don’t need to have read them to become fully immersed in this mystery. If you love character-driven plots with great twists, I’d recommend this one for you. RRP $32.99 into it, so anticipate purchasing an audio interface as an extra, and you might need a microphone as well. An audio interface or microphone can be as cheap as $30, but expect to pay more as it will depend on the quality you want to achieve for your project.

A USB keyboard is a standard extra for a music student these days and it can include the audio interface as well so it is worth considering if you are reasonably serious about becoming a better musician.

The value of the computer to your life as a musician however doesn’t deny the importance of a teacher or mentor for your development. Even the world’s greatest musicians still use trainers or mentors to keep them finely tuned!

Do have a creative musical month!

The Letterbox Tree

Bea is living in the beautiful, present day, Tasmania where she struggles with daily life and bullying. Connected by a giant tree, both girls form an unlikely friendship. They leave notes to each other in a tree trunk and although separated by time, they help each other in the most wonderful way. Lim and Gordon’s sensitive and hopeful time-lapse novel builds a bridge between present and future, dealing with the enormous impacts of climate change. I would warmly recommend this book to young readers so that they too can feel that it’s never too late to do something for someone else or for our world. Age 10+. RRP $17.99 30 Maple St, Maleny

CULTURE CLUB

ARRIVING in Australia just prior to the covid pandemic, Ireland’s Theresa Horgan has fallen in love with the hinterland while at the same time continuing to celebrate her Irish heritage.

In the midst of rehearsals for the upcoming performance of Maleny Players’ production of Dancing at Lughnasa, Theresa has also been competing to be named the ‘Queensland Rose of Tralee’.

Theresa was being co-sponsored by the Maleny Players and Patricks Irish Bar and Grill Tranquil Park in her bid to become the Queensland ambassador.

While ultimately unsuccessful this year, she said she was extremely honoured to have been selected for the competition that acknowledged the ambitions, intellect, social responsibility, and Irish heritage of modern young women.

“I think it a beautiful celebration of women and Irish heritage,” she said.

“It showcases aspects of our intrinsic values, with an emphasis on social and community contributions. It’s a wonderful opportunity to promote, preserve and share our culture with the world.”

Theresa first arrived in Australia in 2019, and although trained and currently working as a primary school teacher across the region, she said she had always been drawn to creative pursuits and in particular acting as a side hobby. Originally from County Cork, Ireland Theresa has previously attended the prestigious Gaiety School of Acting in Dublin and is a proudly fluent Gaeilge speaker.

“English is actually my second language! I grew up in Béal Átha an Ghaorthaidh which is a native Irish speaking village and one of only a small pocket of places left in the country that still predominantly speak the national language, so all my primary and high school

Horoscopes

lessons were in Gaeilge” explained Theresa.

Theresa said she had contemplated following a drama and theatrical degree at Uni, however decided to become a teacher.

She is currently living in Australia on a career break from her teaching position in Ireland.

While visiting her sister in Victoria, Theresa got involved in a local theatre company; the Torquay Theatre Group who were producing an Irish Play called Harp on the Willow which told the incredible true story of famous Irish singer and harpist Mary O’Hara.

The production garnered seven Victorian Drama League nominations and Theresa was nominated for best actress in a supporting role which she said felt like being nominated for the Oscars.

Theresa said soon after arriving in Australia she met her Australian partner Riley Oborne

and around 12 months ago the adventure and outdoor loving couple relocated to Landsborough. A keen hiker who has also traversed mount Kilimanjaro, Theresa said she was drawn to the region because of the beautiful landscape and access to the mountains. “We love living here, the hinterland is just stunning,” she said.

“We both love hiking and to be able to have the Glass House Mountains on our doorstop is incredible. We appreciate where we live every day!”

Wanting to get involved in local theatre, Theresa said it was entirely by chance that she came across a flyer calling for auditions for an Irish play to be produced by the Maleny players.

“I was so pleased to be able to become involved in a local theatre group again and I think when I auditioned director Andrew Wallace was quite delighted to have an Irish actor playing one of the key parts,” said Theresa.

“It is an amazing play that was written in the 1990’s and has won load of awards, with Meryl Streep in the film version. Anyone interested in Irish family life and a snapshot of the 1930’s would enjoy the production which has beautifully poignant characters and captures a particularly bittersweet time in Irish history,” explained Theresa.

Theresa said she personally loved Irish history and was extremely proud of being an Irish woman.

She said she enjoyed how the play depicted strong characters who dealt with the brutality of life but still prioritised the importance of family bonds and connections which still ring true today for many Irish people.

WEEK BEGINNING JUNE 6

GEMINI

VIRGO

SAGITTARIUS

PISCES

We all need a helping hand every so often. This week introduces a wise friend who can bring new wisdom into your life. As a bonus, the cosmos also focuses on finances.

And don’t worry if less scrupulous colleagues try to steal your glory. With you one step ahead, they’ll be left straggling two steps behind. Love also features.

This week Virgos learn about the mystic dimensions of their lives. If you feel more spiritually protected - you probably are; and if you need to be taught or healed, a guardian angel or new mentor will be close by.

The really lovely news? If and when you truly need help, it’s likely to arrive - perhaps from the most unexpected sources.

There’s no denying that it’s wonderful to feel totally in sync with life.

Now you can go one better. Imagine the possibilities that arise when you meet someone on exactly the same wavelength.

At work, too, radical changes are likely.

Perhaps, too, you should ditch anything that’s unproductive or outmoded.

This week finds you taking a chisel to long-held beliefs that no longer serve a purpose. Your attention now shifts away from the inner world and towards the outer.

Should emotional issues chip away at your relationships, new ground rules will need to be applied. Unfortunately, this may mean that some ties are broken.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

ARIES

Last week’s uncertainty continues thanks to Cancers’ nemesis, a meddling Mars.

On the plus side, this week is an ideal time to reassess plans that didn’t work out the first time. Fine-tune your CV, or add bells and whistles to the proposal you thought you had finished. You can always improve upon that initial flash of genius.

Sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated.

Even so, it doesn’t hurt to acknowledge your talents - especially in moments of doubt. You know your true potential, and now’s not the time to downplay it. There’s also a financial flavour to this week, with enough interested forces ready to boost your cashflow. It also wouldn’t hurt to spruce up your image.

Yours is a straight-down-the-line sign - never afraid to tell it like it is. You want only the very best and, this week, you intend to get it. Your heart is pounding, your mind is racing - and you’re ready for change.

The cosmos also introduces much-needed playfulness, as well as the kind of good fortune that affords a few luxuries.

Ariens step into a week packed with ambition. Don’t worry about any extra duties - you have all the right qualities to meet most challenges. After all, you’re used to switching from low to high gear, and then back again. Your driving force? The promise of financial independence. Just don’t forget to stop for the occasional breather.

LEO

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

TAURUS

This is a jewel of a week for determined Leos. Your mind is sharp, and better able to grasp abstract ideas. Being a trailblazer, you’re in your element when faced with demanding deadlines. Would you have it any other way? Maybe. A little extra romance would ease the pressure. Look to sexy Venus, who provides recreation in the bedroom.

This week, the planets show you who you actually are, as opposed to what you once aspired to be. Any discrepancy between the two may prompt a sobering review of your accomplishments to date.

Should some areas of your life reach their natural conclusion, deal with any loss or disappointment in a quiet way.

Some weeks seem to wave the insanities of the universe in your face, and this week looks happy to heckle. You will have to accept that not everybody can keep up with your pace - some may even disagree with your thoughts and ideals. But you can’t just ignore this: the cosmos calls for cooperation and insists that you act responsibly.

So many areas of your life have been left simmering, with your career also in the melting pot. Take heart. This week encourages physical, mental and spiritual renewal - this time, with you as an active contributor. And when feeling this vibrant, it stands to reason that your sexual magnetism is at its full strength. Embrace life, and it will love you back.

YOU SAID IT

Open letter to Mayor

Dear Mayor I write to you to voice my concerns about what was the process on the removal of Mr Greening from his enterprise of car washing at the rear car park of the Maleny IGA. The Glasshouse Country and Maleny news article “Just Trying To Do A Job” dated 25th April is the source of information.

For transparent reason and to have faith in the Local Council, I am seeking the following information.

1 How many complaint were made?

2 Who from Council investigated?

3 What did they observe?

4 What testing was undertaken?

5 What was the results of that testing?

I voice my concern that an individual can be treated in an unfair manner and to date Council has not put out any information to the public.

This lack of accountability may be construed as bullying on be half of the Sunshine Coast Council.

In the name of good governance please consider my request.

Ian Lindsay, Maleny

Enough hysteria

Last week’s edition (May 30) had two very contrasting letters regarding opinions on the Voice. Jacob Pruden spelt out his No case and Andrew Mclean spelt out his Yes case.

I often have friendly discussions and debates with a local small business owner. We often disagree and usually pause the discussion until the next time we meet. All great banter.

However, when discussing the Voice, he is probably going to be a No voter. He cites lack of trust of politicians as his main reason. This is probably understandable. But in this case I feel he has got it wrong.

The Voice has not come from Parliament or politicians. Nearly all the information about the Voice is out there. As with anything remotely contentious there will be plethora of opinions, a lot of which will be most unhelpful.

When the Mabo decision was handed down in 1992 there was a lot of hysteria particularly among land owners in regional and country Australia. This hysteria was completely unfounded. There were claims that First Nations people were going to occupy some of these properties. Just because native title existed

for all indigenous people ( from that decision ), didn’t mean the land was going to be occupied.

The same hysteria is happening again. Our First Nations people are simply asking us or rather inviting us to go on a journey with them so it will help them. All endeavours to date have failed miserably. So this time I want our First Nations people to have a say in issues that effect them.

A No vote will completely devastate these people and any hope of solving the difficult issues will just evaporate. Yes, there will be a certain amount of symbolism displayed, but it will have no real effect.

John Quinn, Glasshouse Mountains

wants to see government extend a helping hand, not the boot(Redbridge). Each one of us has a responsibility to cast a well informed vote later this year. I will vote YES. Jenny Donovan, Beerburrum

At the heart of the Voice to Parliament is a mechanism that will improve the quality of decisions about our indigenous people.

Anchoring it in the Constitution both protects it from the whims of political parties e.g. abolition of ATSIC by the Howard government, and marks the special place indigenous peoples have in our collective Australian history. Canada, The United States and New Zealand all have forms of this.

Polling research finds that middle Australia

Sticking to the actual crux of the letter.

So when Albanese stands before the camera and puts on the crocodile tears, pleading with Australians to support his agenda.

When he refuses to go into deals about exact changes to the constitution and will only tell us that “The Voice” will only advise on Aboriginal issues and have no bearing on anything else, I say “Caveat Emptor”.

Let the buyer beware.

Shane Daly, Peachester

Voice for better decisions

No case well put

Thank you, Jacob Prudon, for articulating so perfectly the No case that we mere mortals have been struggling with.

It is so beautifully laid out that even those lame brains in Canberra should be able to understand the horrifying implications of a Yes vote.

Let the buyer beware

Sleepwalking to War

The fact that Australia is sleepwalking towards a catastrophic war against China has received immense coverage by most of the mainstream media. Welcome and responsible coverage in non-mainstream media, in contrast, raises issues such as what do the latest bits of weaponry actually do – to people and the environment? Where’s the evidence for the notion that building up weaponry deters wars?

What have our post-World War II wars cost us and other nations in lives lost, lives ruined, environments damaged, crippling military budgets, and relationships strained?

Who will decide if and when Australia next goes to war – the PM with a tiny handful of people hiding behind Cabinet secrecy, as per the current practice, or our elected representatives in parliament?

Given the abundance of such questions that need broader discussion, why does mainstream media continue to beat the war drums?

Why are we not discussing peace. One obvious response is that no-one’s going to pay for it; there is no money in peace. Herein lies the irony.

Warfare and its preparation cost a vast amount of national wealth in economic terms, quite apart from the human and environmental cost. (The ‘war on terror’ is estimated to have cost the US alone many trillions of dollars).

And yet we barely scratch the surface of how to prevent wars, in our national budget, in our parliament, in our universities and in our mainstream media, notwithstanding the sterling efforts of some in those institutions.

Australia’s current obsession with embedding ourselves more deeply in the World’s most powerful war machine, that of the USA, can only end in disaster. We have become like a drunkard rendered incapable of rational thought by the toxic effects of alcohol and yet reaching for another swig. Australia’s addiction is to militarism and the wars that ensure from it. Civil society organisations that work for peace, and media that help lead us in that direction, are needed more than ever.

Back to work and it’s not soon enough WORKING from home was always meant to be a temporary stay of affairs while covid worked its way through our lives.

But almost immediately a bunch of public servants owned it as their God-given right and a bunch of seemingly progressive companies jumped on board with their own flexible rules all in the name of staying an attractive (and ‘woke’) place to work.

Well, wouldn’t you know it but now those same companies have decided staff are more productive when they’re physically in the office. Duh. Did AI help them come to that conclusion?

The Commonwealth Bank has backflipped, Elon Musk hates it, Hostplus agrees and so what seemed a permanent four-day weekend for many are now shepherded back to the daily grind. About time.

My guess is that when the labour market starts to revert back to normal transmission everything that workers took for granted during covid will become a hazy memory.

Best dust off those resumes sooner rather than later I’d say.

But it strikes me as a touch uncomfortable when people try and link their peacetime civilities with what must truly be a hell on earth experience on the frontline.

Whatever you think of Ben Roberts-Smith, it isn’t a stretch to suggest war is not only a dirty business now but has been for thousands of years.

Warnings for asthmatics

www.gcnews.com.au

Highlighting the significance of effectively managing asthma, the President of RACGP emphasised the need for individuals to establish and adhere to an asthma plan.

She urged all patients, particularly those with severe asthma, to proactively develop a comprehensive plan since the deteriorating air quality in Brisbane and southeast Queensland has left many individuals gasping for air.

The unpredictable nature of asthma flare-ups necessitates a wellstructured asthma plan to ensure timely intervention.

Dr Bruce Willett, the Vice President and Queensland Chair of RACGP, echoed the sentiment and emphasized the gravity of the situation. He stressed that having a

The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) has issued a strong reminder to all Australians suffering from asthma to have an asthma plan in place with their general practitioner (GP).

This advisory comes in response to the recent smoke haze that has engulfed Brisbane and parts of south-east Queensland, greatly impacting individuals with asthma and other health conditions.

The air quality in Brisbane has been categorised as “very poor,” with levels reaching an alarming 11.9 times higher than the World Health Organisation’s recommended annual air quality guideline value as of 1 pm yesterday.

Written Asthma Action Plan (WAAP) is vital for asthma sufferers to effectively manage severe flare-ups, especially during times of deteriorating air quality.

Dr Willett expressed concern that a significant number of asthma patients either lack a WAAP or fail to adhere to it during an asthma episode, which often results in emergency department visits and unnecessary distress.

He urged Queenslanders at risk to take immediate action, advising them to update their medications, including preventative asthma medications, and to always carry rescue medications like relievers.

He also encouraged individuals to stay indoors during periods of worsened air quality and to check on family members and friends who may be vulnerable to asthma-related complications.

GROUNDBREAKING research conducted in Australia has shed light on the challenges faced by younger individuals exhibiting symptoms of bowel cancer. The study reveals that these patients often find themselves advocating for their own health, as they encounter age bias and barriers to diagnosis.

Published in the BMJ Open and BMC Primary Care, the research is the first of its kind to explore the perspectives of earlyonset bowel cancer patients in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

Dr Klay Lamprell, Chief Investigator at the Australian Institute of Health Innovation, Macquarie University, expressed that young people with bowel cancer experience similar difficulties worldwide. Due to their age, they are frequently overlooked in relation to this type of cancer. The research discovered that younger patients may consult multiple

doctors for a period ranging from three months to five years before receiving a diagnosis. In some cases, they may visit general practitioners (GPs) 10 or more times.

Even when presenting symptoms such as blood in their stool or rectal bleeding, GPs may not immediately refer them to specialists for further testing, exacerbating the delay in diagnosis. The diagnostic trajectories of early-onset bowel cancer patients differ from those diagnosed at a later stage. Diagnosis in younger individuals can take up to 60% longer, with numerous missed opportunities for detection, resulting in a higher likelihood of being diagnosed in advanced stages of the disease. Latestage diagnosis often necessitates more aggressive treatment, leading to physical, psychosocial, and quality of life challenges, particularly in relation to fertility and ostomy management.

The three ‘Rs’ I WAS the principal of a Christian School for over 20 years. Throughout that time we emphasised the 4 ‘rs’.

Under the over arching umbrella of ‘religion we taught Respect, responsibility and reliability.

Respect for yourself first, then other people, the environment and all you come into contact with during your lives.

Responsibility. Having a sense of responsibility in all you do and say. Be responsible for all your actions.

Reliability. TO be reliable in all you do.

It was my belief that if your students follows these three ‘rs’ then the usual 3 r’s that schools teach, Reading wRiting and aRithmetic would be the best each student could achieve.

A corresponding reading is 12 Peter: 3:1317. “Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness sake, you will be blessed.

The packs included a special Mothers Day message, chocolates, a decorative pen and Dr Darren Morton’s book Live More Happy.

but in your hearts honour Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defence of anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behaviour in Christ may be pout to shame.

For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil.”

It seems to me that there is a lack of respect in our society that is affecting us all.

If we start with respect for God and then to all people we meet and to all others’ property, we would live in a far better world.

HOME & GARDEN

Grand country estate Backyard Wildlife and 25 glorious acres

By Maleny & Hinterland Real Estate ECHOING a bygone era of the grand country estate, Bunya Lodge is set on 25 acres and is ready for its new owner to simply move into this luxury home and start their Hinterland lifestyle. Quality craftsmanship and high-end fittings and fixtures are evident in every room of this much-loved home. Large, welcoming spaces provide enviable room for living and entertaining, and the home emanates incredible warmth. From every room in the home, and from the outdoor entertaining spaces, there are glorious rural views to revel in.

Port Ferry Bluestone has been used throughout the home from the entry way to the fireplaces, and it provides truly beautiful accents. High ceilings, feature timber beams and clever placement of windows create stylish, elegant spaces.

Bunya Lodge offers the discerning buyer everything they could need; a vast living room, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a conservatory, a true cook’s kitchen, separate guest wing, a separate one-bedroom studio and a terrace wrapped around 3 sides of the house taking in glorious views. An additional undercover entertaining

area has its own kitchen, including a fridge and generous bench space.

The separate one-bedroom studio provides the opportunity to host family and friends or create a passive income with short or long term rentals.

Cattle are currently being run on the property and every item required to care for them is here; a vet crush, fencing and a dedicated 10,000L water tank. There is also a dam and creek on the property and approximately 2 acres of mature rainforest planted by the current owner.

Plan for gathering with family and friends and delighting in everything this property has to offer.

Book your private inspection with exclusive agent Rodney Millett today.

WHAT a cool Autumn we’ve just come through, be interesting to see whether winter is even cooler, or if we’re in for a warm winter as predicted. But still it’s that time of year when its great to find a patch of sun protected from the southerlies and bask in its warmth.

So too for the wildlife. The snakes and lizards will be slowing down and less likely to be seen (sigh of relief for those who suffer from Ophidiophobia – fear of snakes). Migratory birds have already headed north to warmer climes and mammals of various sizes have put on their woollier coats to help keep away the winter chills.

Those of you who have some sympathies for our local wildlife may be inclined to put out regular food for that shivering Kookaburra or the clever Magpie or that cute Rainbow Lorikeet. However, one of the best ways to make sure our wildlife are set for winter, is to ensure there’s plenty of habitat and natural food available for them. We can do this by planting a broad range of native plants in our gardens to ensure a broad diversity of habitat, shelter & food.

It’s not just the living plants themselves that provide food, but the leaves and twigs they shed that cover, protect and feed the soil and the complex and diverse lifeforms found within it. For example, the wild, shady and

with Spencer Shaw FOREST HEART Eco-Nursery

naturally mulched bits of our garden, now provide great habitat for the return of the larger rainforest snails, such as Frasers Banded Snail. In turn this week also saw the arrival of Noisy Pitta in our garden, who love eating these snails!

In such a short period of time nature, with a little help from us, has created great abundance to be shared. There’s never been a better time to plant native trees, shrubs, vines, grasses and herbs so that we and the wildlife can all share in natures abundance. Rewild your garden now and enjoy the company of the amazing natural biodiversity that this country is the natural home of!

As the weather cools the Hinterland property market warms up With the cooler weather well and truly making its presence felt in the Hinterland, it’s pleasing to see the property market hasn’t lost any heat over recent months.

In fact, according to CoreLogic’s latest reports, we are entering our third consecutive month of positive growth in the housing market.

While the most recent rate rise was a shock to most and a burden on household budgets, Michael Yardney’s Property Update explains there is not a lot of competition in the market at the moment and when

listing numbers are low, selling conditions remain resilient.

Attesting to this confidence in the market, Cassi Nuske, of McGrath Coast and Hinterland’s Beerwah office says, “we have had a noticeable surge in buyer enquiry resulting in an incredible 9 properties going under contract during May”. Cassi continues, “there are a number of buyers still looking to secure a home in the area. The appeal of larger land parcels, diversity in property types and the relaxing lifestyle enjoyed in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland promises to ensure

demand for our area remains steady.”

Considering the current imbalance between supply and demand, home owners may well be tempted to take advantage of the warmer market, opting to list through winter and beat the traditional spring selling surge we typically experience.

Talking trades with your friendly local sparky BRAD Jobe from Jobe Electrical has been an electrician for 14 years and moved to Beerwah in 2015 after growing up in Sydney.

Brad relocated to the Sunshine Coast hinterland with his wife Louise and two kids to enjoy the great weather, lifestyle and friendly people. Brad joined the army after school and spent 8 years in Artillery and did two peace-keeping trips to East Timor.

After leaving the army, Brad completed a mature-aged electrical apprenticeship and started his own business.

As a sole trader, Brad is the one who answers the phone and turns up to do the work. Brad prides himself on turning up on time and cleaning up at the end.

He loves doings small jobs like installing powerpoints, light fittings and smoke alarms, but can also do switchboard upgrades, light and power circuits, data and

TV antenna wiring, some aircon installations and general electrical work for renovation projects.

Brad gets good job satisfaction from helping his customers especially when faultfinding and fixing problems.

When he’s not working, Brad coaches his son’s under 7s rugby league team at Beerwah Bulldogs and plays in the AFL masters comp for the Suncoast Brewers.

Brad loves watching sport and supports the Cronulla Sharks and NSW Blues. Check out Brad in the GC&M News’ Pip the Pollies footy tipping comp (he’s at the top of the ladder!). Brad also enjoys dirt-bike riding, four-wheel driving, mountain climbing, and spending time with his family on their hobby farm with horses and cattle. If you’re looking for a friendly local electrician, give Brad from Jobe Electrical a call.

Contributed by Ken Barker A KEEN group of players, consisting of Helen Uhlmann, Stuart Craig, Lynette Evans, Sally Adams, Helen Andrews, and Dianne Horseman, gathered on the lawn to play social ricochet on Tuesday morning, a good sign for this activity. No scores were recorded as many players are still getting their head around the rule differences with association and the tactics. Ricochet croquet was originally developed as a training exercise for association croquet, but it now has quite a following and several competitions feature it. The attached photo shows Helen looking to Stuart and Dianne for advice or support after an approach shot hasn’t landed where it should.

On Wednesday we played Caloundra in the Lochwood pennants competition. Sarah Widin, Nick Cram and Ken Barker played for the Range while Ted Singleton and Murray Tinker came up the hill. We had an excellent result winning both singles and the doubles.

Ken beat Ted 21 – 7 in a game where Ted had difficulty getting started. Sarah played an exciting game against Murray to beat him by one hoop 18 – 17. The game of the day however was the doubles where Nick and Sarah with time upon them, escaped from jail when Nick made an eight-hoop break to peg out his ball and finish two ahead. Well done those cool heads.

Tyla hits nationals

IT was Tyla Paterson’s last shot at qualifying for the School Nationals this year, and nothing was going to get in her way.

After an already excellent start to 2023 qualifying top 20 in a number of events at the Age Nationals in April - Tyla said there was one more goal she wanted to achieve.

“I was really pumped for this year was school states, because I know that being in Year 12 it’s my last year to make school Nationals so I tried my heart out,” she said.

“I came third when I had to come second, and the girl who came second only just beat me, so I handed in an application to still be selected onto the team, to go to Nationals and they accepted me.

“It was really special making school nationals this year because it’s my last year and I’m really pumped, it’s in Sydney too so it will be a nice trip” Tyla was also named in the top 20 best swimmers at the age nationals in April for events including the 50m breaststroke (17th) and 100m breaststroke (20th).

“I did really well at the nationals, I made top 20 for all of my main events, and came 14th for my 200m breaststroke, so that was really exciting,” she said.

“Unfortunately, the morning of my first race I woke up really sick, but I wasn’t too far off my PB’s so that was good, because then when I feel better I know I’m going

to smash them.” The year 12 student is coming off competing at the open aged short course nationals last year, where she brushed shoulders with some of the biggest swimmers in the country.

“I missed out by one position to make the finals and it was from a visitor too so if they hadn’t have come from overseas I would have made it… but it was a good experience,” she said.

“I wasn’t in any Olympians’ exact races but I was in the warm up pool with them which was really exciting, and then one nearly tumbleturned on me and she said ‘sorry’ to me.

“It was really cool to be in that environment because it’s somewhere that I want to try and get to one day.”

Tyla is now looking forward to continue training as hard as possible in an attempt to qualify for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Kameli races into top 30 despite break EVEN with a broken thumb, Beerwah State High School student Kameli Jones continues to be a BMX trail blazer and was just picked into the top 30 racers for the Australian Commonwealth team.

Kameli was making waves in the BMX scene late last year, when she qualified to compete in the International BMX Championships this year.

However, since breaking her thumb earlier this year, she wasn’t able to compete nor has she been able to race and train.

She faces another seven weeks on the sideline until she can get back on the track.

“I was racing in Gladstone at the start of April and I was actually winning the race but it was raining and I just slid out in the rain and someone ran over the top of me,” she said.

“I broke my thumb and I had to get surgery on it four weeks after I crashed, because I tore ligaments and broke the bone, I snapped the ligament and the ligament tore a piece of bone off.”

But Kameli isn’t going away that easily, and has been over the moon since she discovered she could be competing in the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, Australia.

“My coach told me, he is the Queensland state team coach and I was just mind blown, and it’ll be the first year that BMX is in the Commonwealth Games as well,” she said.

“The support has been really good, I think my mum has realised a lot more how far I can really go in this sport she’s never really realised how much potential I have.

“I feel like my coach has always known that though, even when there’s something that I don’t think I can do he has pushed me a lot further.”

Her accolades are endless despite her recent injury, and is aiming high after she hopefully competes at the Commonwealth Games.

“I’ve been chosen for the Queensland academy team, so they help with training camps all over the state, so I’ve had a lot more support this year, even through injury and stuff,” she said.

“My next goal after the Commonwealth Games my next goal will be to make it to the Olympic Games.”

Kameli’s next BMX event she is able to attend is the state championships, and although she won’t have as much time to prepare as she usually would, she is ready to race again.

“My next race when I come back from injury will be the state championships which will be held in Gympie this year, I won’t have much of a training lead up as usual…” she said.

“But I am hoping to do well and use it as a comeback race to show everyone I’m not gone forever, I’m still here.”

JUST FOR LAUGHS

SUDOKU

A POLICE officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speedingn down Main Street.

“But, officer,” the man began, “I can explain.”

“Just be quiet,” snapped the officer. “I’m going to let you cool your heels in the lock-up until the seargant gets back.”

“But, officer, I just wanted to say”

“And, I said to keep quiet!

You’re going to jail!”

LAST ROUND: 4 TOTAL: 77 A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, “Lucky for you that the chief’s at his 44 Maple Street, Maleny daughters wedding. He’ll be in a good mood when he 0438 616 064 www.malenyrealty.com.au gets back.”

“Don’t count on it,” answered the fellow in the cell. “I’m the groom.”

When our lawn mower broke down my wife kept hinting to me to get it fixed.

But somehow I always had something else to take care of, first the shed, the boat, making beer...

Always something more important to me.

Finally she thought of a clever way to get her point across.

When I arrived home one day I found her sitting in the tall grass, busily snipping

away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors.

I watched silently for a short time then went into the house.

I was gone only a minute and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush.

I said, “when you finish cutting the grass you may as well sweep the driveway.”

The doc says I will walk again, but will always have a limp.
