Happy holidays T

HE sCHOOL BREAK arrived just as we were due for the printer! Perfect timing for us to tell you about some of the fantastic holiday activities this winter.

It is always more of a marathon for all of us at HT when the first Wednesday is the first of the month! Good reason to slow down a little after the deliveries are done.

The people inside the pages are full of inspiration: conquering health conditions, active nonagenarians, talent recognised with international rewards and community happenings that warm the heart. We celebrate 20 years for Art on Cairncross and 90 years for some Maleny seniors!

My arms were brimming with food and recycled gems from my first ever Crystal Waters Market and I was spoilt at the Kenilworth Quilt show with a Devonshire tea. I want to thank the Mapleton Probus Club for such a friendly welcome to their meeting.

Delve ahead and you will learn about farm-sitting, then campervan through scotland, linger at the Landsborough Museum and go back in time at McCarthy's Lookout.

Be sure to dwell in the What's On for a while, so you don't miss out on some superb events coming up like the Celebration of Books and Muscle on the Mountain.

As soon as July starts, my head will be in August.

If you have some upcoming events let me know about them as soon as you can - as I am more likely to be able to fit them in for you.

I do have community tips I am happy to send you to help your community groups promote themselves in HT - just email a request. so grab a coffee, find a spot in the winter sun and enjoy July's issue.

Until next month, Michelle Gilmore editor@hinterlandtimes.com.au

Dreaming

in New York

L

OuIsE KING, a professional musician and teaching artist who lives in the quiet hinterland village of Eudlo, has just been awarded a place to attend an intensive teaching artistry seminar in New york in July.

This highly competitive seminar is designed to bring together well-established global artists in many disciplines for further training and networking, at the prestigious Lincoln Centre of Education.

Louise recognises that music events of every genre have always had a healthy following in the Hinterland. she says, "There is a strong grass-roots culture of community and youth orchestras, choirs and bands and school music programs, but that doesn't generally follow through to an interest or support of professional art practices or events.

"A great statistic demonstrating this is that nine out of ten Australian people strongly believe that the arts should be in our local communities, but only one in ten Australian people actively participate and pay for professional arts experiences.

"The lack of government funding in small art companies and the independent arts sector is a major concern across the nation and a topic of global debate. I do not know any other Australian industry that is so highly regulated and

competitive in allocating relatively small pools of government funding."

Concerned about the decrease in attendance and increasing age of the audience at Australian classical music performances, Louise is developing new ways to capture and reach new audiences. she is actively searching for partnerships in her community that allows the transformative power of music to speak to as many people as possible.

With over 25 years as a professional classical musician, Louise hopes to bring back from New york ideas on how to make classical music more accessible, frequent and visible in our community.

It is her aim to learn "how to encourage local arts philanthropy and investment into the performing arts sector, enhance a personal encounter with the arts and to seek inspiration on how to re-imagine a more connected community through music."

If you haven’t tried classical music or attended a concert in a while, this is the one to add to your wish list. On July 4, five vibrant and dynamic leading musicians from Australia’s newest period orchestra, Orchestra seventeen88 will perform an exclusive chamber music concert at the dreaming BIG concert series, Classical Pioneers at 7pm at Eudlo Hall.

HINTERLAND TIMEs – JuLy 2015

This year at the 78th Maleny Agricultural Show Monica Smith was crowned grand champion once again. This inspiring 90-year-old scooped the pool with twenty of the first prizes - not surprising really though, given her impressive entry of twenty-four cakes and about a dozen condiments!

T

HE VINTAGE seersucker tablecloth with its orange floral pattern decorated the kitchen table. A milk jug and sugar bowl took centre stage whilst assorted crockery from a bygone era lay in waiting for the freshly baked treats.

Monica smith hovered over the island bench spooning whipped cream into a bowl, an accompaniment for scones about to be taken from the oven. A sponge cake and small butterfly cakes completed the morning tea menu. It was 9.00am.

“When I’m cooking to enter the Maleny show I’m going from daylight until dark. But then some jams and pickles are made months before when the fruit is in season,” said ninety year old Monica, her face aglow.

“Mum doesn’t only cook for the shows but charities as well. We used to have huge garden parties on the front lawn to raise money and she has cooked for the Charity sports at Beerwah since it began about forty years ago.

“The event raises funds for the Cancer Council and she usually makes twenty or thirty sponges with strawberries and cream,” added daughter Jennifer Rolfe.

The youngest of five children, Monica began cooking for the family when she was twelve years old.

“Mum got very sick and was in Roma Hospital for about a month. When she came home she was an invalid. My brothers and sisters were grown up and so it was up to me,” said Monica.

It was the late 1930s - World War II imminent. supplies were not readily available. “you couldn’t just go to the shops.

The groceries came on the train in big cartons. They had to last about three and a half months. you got a bag of sugar and flour and a small bag of self-raising flour. you just had to make do.

“I’d make about three lots of biscuits a week. The boys always wanted more in their lunch boxes. I’d make Anzacs and Ginger Nuts but hide them under my bed,” said Monica revealing a glimpse of the girl who outwitted her adult brothers.

To add to the daily chores there were about forty cows to milk by hand. “At half past three I’d call the cows and start milking. Our property was about a thousand acres and dad would be away cutting timber. By the time he got home I would have done half.

“Before I called the cows I would get everything ready for the evening meal. Mum had a deep oval cooker…a cast iron pot with a lid and that was my salvation,” shared Monica reflectively.

The young girl continued to care for her family rising at daybreak with a splash of water to freshen her childish face. seven days a week she baked bread, cooked, cleaned and milked cows. In between times she tended to her lessons schooling by correspondence.

Monica moved to Beerwah when she was sixteen years old. It was there she met her husband, Lawrence, raised a

family of five and has lived on their property for the past sixtynine years. The farm has been in the smith family since 1913.

An interest in exhibiting at the local show had its beginnings in those childhood days out west. “I wanted sixteen and threepence to get a piece of embroidery from Cribb & Foote. It was an English firm and they sent out a catalogue.

“And so I looked up the schedule put out by the Wallumbilla show society. I entered a darned sock, an embroidered handkerchief and a pastel drawing. Anyway, I ended up with sixteen shillings and ninepence in prize money!”

It wasn’t until Monica settled in Beerwah that she began competing with fare from her kitchen. she was encouraged by her late husband. Floral arrangements and embroidery continued to win prizes.

“Mum didn’t think she’d be able to make the jams and chutneys [for this year's show] because she couldn’t lift the pot from the stove to the bench. she solved the problem by transporting the pot onto the seat of her walker trolley!

“The amazing thing is that Mother is self-taught in all she does: music, floral art, gardening, cooking, sewing, making bridal dresses and wedding cakes. Once a steward at the show asked Mum how she learnt her skills. she replied, ‘By the

light of a hurricane lamp!’

When asked if there is a secret to the prize-winning show entries Monica said, “Read your schedule! It gives you the guidelines. That’s the difference between cooking for your family and cooking for the show.”

Monica said that even she makes duds, then referred to the sponge cake made for morning tea as a mongrel sponge!

“Mother never uses a timer when she’s cooking. she just knows when the cake is ready! she is forever experimenting.

Her favourite thing to make is fruit cakes,” said Jennifer.

Monica adds, “And those bought lamingtons! Aren’t they pathetic things?”

Monica believes that competing pushes you to be better… the best you can be. Last year she was invited to the launch of The Australian Blue Ribbon Cookbook – stories, recipes and secret tips by prize-winning show cooks, by Liz Harfull, in which Monica is featured.

Monica smith is revered by her family and community. she believes that hard work and kindness is the backbone of society.

Local, Max Whitten said, “Monica smith has been the mainstay of the cooking section of the Maleny show for the past sixty years. It’s folk like Monica that give soul to communities.”

Karen Law

SURVIVOR

by Dale Jacobsen

In 2007, Karen Law chased a runaway beach umbrella along the beach. She felt electric shocks in her legs and had to stop. She didn’t know it at the time, but this was a symptom of multiple sclerosis.

Two months ago, she ran 12 kilometres.

FIRsT MET Karen Burton (as she was then) around 1998 when she performed at the upfront Club. Our mutual friend and Maleny legend, Tommy Leonard, convinced us that we needed to hear this remarkable young singer/songwriter. He was right.

The following year Karen visited the musical instrument makers’ pavilion at the National Folk Festival in Canberra to try every guitar on display. she came to the conclusion that a particular model by Doug Eaton (my partner) was just right for her, and commissioned one. Our friendship has continued.

All those years ago, none of us knew the turbulent future that was in store for Karen, but none of us doubted she possessed the strength of character that would see her emerge, a survivor of multiple sclerosis.

Music has always formed the core of Karen’s world. It was therefore all the more devastating when, shortly after her diagnosis in 2010, she was unable to play her guitar to accompany her songs.

“I couldn’t even stand up to perform,” said Karen. “I felt such a loss of power, not being able to connect with my audience as I had always done.” she had heard of George Jelinek and the remarkable results achieved at his retreats at the Gawler Foundation’s yarra Valley Living Centre. With nothing to lose, Karen travelled to Victoria to take part in a five-day retreat.

There she learnt the importance of diet, meditation and exercise in overcoming multiple sclerosis—and the role vitamin D plays—from the man who had overcome and survived Ms. Coincidentally, the crew from ABC’s 7:30 Report were also there, filming a feature on George’s research: a follow-up with people who had attended these retreats.

“I was fully committed to the program,” said Karen, “so I put my name forward as an interviewee. I am totally in awe of this man. He is such a role model”.

Karen and George stayed in touch, and he asked her to join the volunteer team with the organisation, Overcoming Multiple sclerosis.

“During discussions on the forum, one participant said she would like to hear from those who are survivors; those who no longer have need of the group. I suggested to George that, if he still had the contacts, I would like to help gather their stories into a book.”

George, always quick to act on ideas, immediately sent a proposal to his publisher, Allen & unwin. Within six weeks, he and Karen had signed a contract for Recovering from Multiple Sclerosis.

“George sent an email to twelve people for me to interview, in which he introduced me as another Ms survivor.

I felt my health lift. How powerful! Even though I still felt fragile, by the time I had collected the 12 stories, I was totally sure that I am a survivor.

“The aim of the book is to inspire people affected by the disease, but the first person to be inspired was actually me.

Importantly, the book was the final stage for the 12 in truly believing they had survived and had achieved quality of life.”

All the while, Karen worked on her own quality of life. she gave up work as a freelance journalist to focus all her energy on recovery.

“No-one could have a more supportive family,” said Karen.

“My husband, David, immediately changed his diet to align with mine. We didn’t ask our three children to do this, but over time, they have seen the benefits and now mostly eat what we eat.”

“I knew I needed to exercise. I looked out the door and thought, running needs minimum preparation, so I walked

two houses down the road and ran back—in my thongs, as I could never wear shoes.

“I was exhausted, and had to lie down. But, bit by bit, I extended those runs and, bit by bit, my strength returned.

One day, I wondered if I could run five kilometres. Then ten.

Then twelve. David came with me that time, in case I needed rescuing. I didn’t.”

With renewed energy, Karen has returned to her first love—music. In 2014, she released her third CD, Asking Questions of Your Soul. “unlike my first CD, which focussed on observations of things around me that needed commenting on, I have written these songs from a more personal point of view. I guess they capture the journey I have been on these past five years.”

I asked Karen how she saw her future unfolding. “I am now doing everything I ever wanted to do: I have a book published; am a musician and instrumental music teacher; watch my three children derive such pleasure from life.”

Then she gave me a wink and said: “A half-marathon is only 21 kilometres. I reckon I might give it a go one day”.

art with a heart “Once I was in Montville, I had a taste, if you wish, of a different kind of life. A few weeks later I decided to leave Fraser and come up here.”

Tony began helping a local gallery owner, and found the experience incredibly positive: so much so that on July 1, 1995 he took over and created Tony Gill Galleries.

Meanwhile, Jane had been encouraged to turn her photographs into cards and became the first photographer selling her work at Eumundi Markets. “While I was there I met some tourism people and was invited to a networking event.

“I walked in to place of over 150 people and my colleague Ali introduced me to Tony, who she said could talk under wet cement!” she laughs, “We hit it off.”

Their relationship blossomed, and in 1998 Jane took on a space at Cairncross next door to an artists’ cooperative, to display cards, hand-painted scarves and other art.

“Within a matter of weeks the cooperative asked if I wanted to take over their space,” she explains. “I ran it for three years as it was and then in 2002 Tony and I bought the building.”

Life was becoming a constant juggling act for the pair, with two galleries to run, plus Jane still nursing. They decided to join forces: Tony closed his gallery, Jane stopped nursing and closed Caraffi’s, which they reopened as Art on Cairncross.

“A business person would run a mile from this career choice, but we bought ourselves a lifestyle. It’s even enabled us to visit Jane’s mum in the uK each year and see some of Europe.”

The theme for their celebratory exhibition “20” is works inspired by the Glasshouse Mountains. These could be paintings, or flora and fauna, or sculptures – wherever the gallery’s artists find their inspiration.

With an eclectic array of fine art, by artists predominantly from the region, Tony believes essentially it’s about “good art,” in their gallery. “Every work of art is unique, as is the person who does it.”

The couple often travel great distances, from Chinchilla to sydney to surat, for external exhibitions, such is their enthusiasm.

by Victoria McGuin

Nearly twenty years ago Tony Gill and Jane Caraffi chose the world of art as their new career. With a celebratory exhibition coming up, Victoria McGuin went to Art on Cairncross to hear them reminisce.

ONy AND JANE are in a reflective mood. They have large books of cuttings open, from 1995 to the present day. They leaf through images of artists, events, exhibitions, celebrations and photos of the couple themselves.

“Look how glamourous you are, like a film star, standing next to me,” says Tony, before jokingly lamenting, “I had hair at the sides of my head then!”

It’s a huge milestone, 20 years in art galleries, and one that they are right to be proud of. “We love the fact that most of our artists have been with us since the beginning,” Jane smiles. “They have become our friends – our extended family really.”

Rewind to 1994, and Tony was a food and beverage manager on Fraser Island. Jane was nursing, with photography as a hobby.

One of Tony’s staff said she was going to visit Montville for a holiday, but she didn’t return. “I decided to visit and see if she was okay, and if she was coming back,” says Tony. (she was fine, but on to new pastures.)

As Jane sees it, once the initial deposit has been paid, “somebody has bought it – it’s just maturing!�

I ask what their high and low points have been. “some artists have died over the years and that’s incredibly upsetting,� answers Tony. “But seeing our artists achieve, and being hung in prestigious awards is wonderful.�

Tony and Jane are a joy to listen to. Their humour, honesty and artistic ethics shine through – making it no surprise their artists and clients have stayed with them for so long.

They also rescued an artist’s work from a gallery in Melbourne that was suddenly closing, and they think nothing of taking art to potential clients’ homes, wherever they live. “We’ve made really good friends,� says Jane. “you spend more time with people in this business; find out what makes them tick. It can’t help but become more personal.�

Tony continues, “We like to take people on a journey, talk about what the artist meant, sometimes it can open the door to a new appreciation for a piece or style of art.�

Jane chips in, “sometimes it’s good to explain the process for the artist. How to make a bronze, or glass or ceramics.

Mapleton gym helps

Chrys lose 65kg

Local Chrys Stevenson has lost half her body weight, and credits the trainers and members of the communityowned, not-for-profit Mapleton Gym for much of her successful transformation.

“W

HEN I FIRsT stepped into The Range Gym two years ago I was terrified,” says Mapleton resident, Chrys stevenson.

“I’m a writer, not an athlete! All I knew about gyms was what I’d seen on The Biggest Loser. I thought someone might put me on a treadmill and make me run until I threw up!”

Instead, 56-year-old Chrys worked with gym instructor, Denis Condon, to design a gentle program tailored specifically to suit her fitness and ability.

“It was more like my unfitness and disability,” says Chrys. “I was size 26 and weighed nearly 130kg!

“I was having trouble putting on my socks and walking up and down stairs. I was in constant pain – everything hurt. I’d just had a lucky escape from endometrial cancer but my doctor warned my weight put me at high risk of it returning.

“It seemed an impossible task, but I had to do something!

She shares her inspirational story with HT, to encourage local residents to embark on a fitness program of their own.

Joining a gym seemed a good place to start.

“I remember Denis set the treadmill at 4.5km per hour and I felt like I was running! I said, ‘I can’t walk that fast.’” says Chrys.

“Denis said, ‘OK, we’ll make it a bit slower.’ Then he suggested I walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes. I said, ‘I can’t walk for that long’! “so, he said, ‘Well, let’s see how long you can walk for,’” Chrys smiles.

“Then, he got me chatting to the fellow on the next treadmill. It took my mind off what I was doing and before I knew it, Denis was grinning as he said, ’That’s 10 minutes! you did it!’

“He’s been conning me into doing more than I think I’m capable of ever since!”

Chrys coupled her gym workouts with a calorie-controlled

diet and soon added walking and swimming to her weekly routine.

Within 18 months of joining The Range Community Gym, Chrys lost 65kg – half her original body weight.

“With so much weight to lose,” she says, “I knew I was in danger of ending up with loose, flabby skin. I needed lowimpact , weight resistance exercise and I needed exercise that would shape, tone and strengthen my body.

“As the kilos started to drop it seemed the whole gym began to get excited about my weight loss. I received a huge amount of encouragement and inspiration from other members.”

Thanks to strong community support and local fundraising, the Mapleton Gym is fully equipped with a range of weight-lifting and workout machines to suit all fitness levels.

“We have a diverse membership,” says Chrys, “from young people interested in boxing and weightlifting, to older people and those with disabilities looking for more gentle exercise.”

Chrys started with a simple, 20 minute program that involved walking on a treadmill, some light weights and stepping. Gradually, she built up to a 90 minute program which involves walking faster and further, lifting heavier (but still not heavy) weights, and stretching and flexing her muscles.

“The key to success was persistence,” she insists. “The hardest part is turning up. I was never pushed to do more

than I was comfortable with. In fact, to this day, I’ve never broken more than a light sweat working out.”

It wasn’t until she reached her goal weight, earlier this year, Chrys began running.

“I was reluctant at first,” she says, “but my trainer encouraged me to run short distances and, soon, I started enjoying it.”

Chrys recently completed two 5km park runs and plans to do more.

“It’s something I never thought I’d be capable of!” she says.

Chrys combined her exercise program with a low-calorie eating plan. “you don’t need to cut out whole food groups or buy into expensive programs,” says Chrys, who works as an academic researcher and fact-checker.

“It’s simply a matter of burning more calories than you eat. you don’t need to revolutionise your diet – just eat a bit less and make wiser choices. you don’t have to give up the things you love, entirely.

“But, at some stage, you have to take responsibility for yourself and accept that every day can’t be a party.”

Chrys used a phone app to track her daily calorie intake and expenditure. “you really do have to be mindful of what you’re putting into your mouth. The technology nowadays makes it simple to keep yourself honest.”

Inspired by her success, Chrys has posted positive stories about other members on the gym’s website: http://rangecommunitygym.com.au/ “We want local residents to know The Range Community Gym caters for people of all ages, sizes, fitness levels, abilities and disabilities. It’s very welcoming, and it really isn’t as scary as you think!”

Hinterland Gems The view: McCarthy Lookout today

McCarthy's Lookout When you read the sign at McCarthy's Lookout on Mountain View Road, it talks about the beautiful Glasshouse Mountains displayed in their glory below.

Little do you know there is so much interesting history, this side of the view!

by Gay Liddington

I

N 1877 AT THE age of forty, Joseph McCarthy arrived on the Blackall Range in the quest for ‘red gold’ the much sought after Cedar trees. He was later joined by his Irishborn wife Maria.

The young woman ten years her husband’s junior had already birthed six children with seven yet to be born. she nursed her youngest who was one year old and would soon fall pregnant with another.

This seventh child, Bridget Agnes, would become the grandmother of a Queensland Premier, Mike Ahern. six years after his arrival Joseph McCarthy acquired as a Deed of Grant for Conditional Purchase selection, Portion 1221 (640 acres) at a cost of twenty-four pound. This in part would become grazing pastures known as McCarthy’s Farm.

The area along Mountain View Road, Maleny, incorporates McCarthy Road, McCarthy’s Lookout and McCarthy shute Road. The land remained in the family for the next seventy-one years.

It was a harsh existence for the pioneers who raised their families in slab huts by the light of kerosene lamps. As they settled the land they were largely dependent on their own resources. They kept chickens, milked cows, churned butter and made cheese.

Once per month a store man would do the rounds of the farmhouses in his horse and cart. He took orders for staples such as flour, sugar and tea bought by the bag.

Bread and damper was baked in the wood stove, fish from the creek, wallabies, pigeons and scrub turkeys taken from the bush.

Maureen Finn and her son James, descendants of Joseph and Maria McCarthy, proudly speak of their heritage and share stories handed down through the family.

“I lived with Grandmother Maria for a time. I was fifteen when she died. she was a woman of indomitable spirit and cantankerous nature. she is known in the family as the first white woman in Maleny,” recounted Maureen, daughter of James McCarthy.

“Mum grew up in the little wooden house just behind the lookout. she grew up looking out at McCarthy’s Lookout every morning when she got up to milk the cows.

“Everyone thinks that Mountain View Road was named because of the mountain view but it was actually named after the house that Joseph built for his family. Their house was named Mountain View,” shared James.

The steep descent on the southern end of the range provided challenges for the first timber getters. This was overcome by creating earth chutes, usually constructed out of bark or timber. Logs would be ‘speared’ down the steep slopes of the mountain, sliding and hurtling to the bottom where the bullock drays and teamsters hauled the logs.

The distance from the highest point of McCarthy’s Chute down to the rafting grounds at Coochin Creek was about forty kilometres. In the early days of settlement there were no railways or roads other than the logging road coming through the chute.

“Joseph decided to take up a selection of land because he needed somewhere to put the bullock team to drag the timber back to the chute. And that’s where the name of that road comes from…McCarthy shute Road,” said James.

Mary Ellen McCarthy like many of that family made her mark in history in an unexpected way, recollects Maureen.

“There was a fellow who drove the horse-drawn cream truck.

It was before the days of the butter factory. They used to take the cream down to Landsborough station.

“As he did the rounds of the farms everyone would ask him to buy them a Casket Ticket whilst in town. Aunty Mary Nellie as we called her won third prize! It was about three hundred pounds. she used that to help build the first butter factory.”

James adds, “Mary Nellie was on the butter factory board but does not appear in the original photo. It seems she was not allowed to be in the photo because she was a woman

Above: McCarthy home overlooking the Stanley River and Peachester c1900 Right: Joseph and Maria McCarthy with daughter May (later Dickson) on right and granddaughter Eileen Riordan

even though she had invested significant funds!”

James Finn is passionate about his family history and agrees it’s like putting a jigsaw puzzle together to get the complete picture but then you get to a point when you find some pieces are missing.

The family continue to search for the graves of Joseph and Maria’s children Andrew and Gertrude who died at a young age. They are buried in what was known as the ‘grave paddock’ in the vicinity of the lookout.

“I think there must have been a whole group of timber getters that travelled round together. The Tesch family were in Logan at the same time as Joseph and Maria. Then they turned up in Maleny shortly after them and began milling the timber,” said James.

“Joseph donated land for the showgrounds and land for the first school. It was a slab hut built on his property at Wootha. In 1892 he opened the Maleny Post Office,” said James.

Eleven years later the farmers assembled at the McCarthy farm and formed the Maleny Co-operative Dairy Association.

Present at that historic meeting were: Joseph McCarthy, Thomas Cole, John Grigor, H. Bartlett, R. Tucker, Hon. A.J. Thynne and E.T.F. Thynne.

The association’s butter factory in Maple street treated the first cans of cream on December 19, 1904. In 1908 the Maleny Co-operative Dairy Association won a trophy at the Franco British Exhibition in London, for butter produced at its Maple street Factory.

Joseph McCarthy, the first selector, is regarded as the founder of the dairy industry in Maleny. He sent his butter in kegs to Brisbane grocery stores, donated land to his community and was instrumental in opening the way for others to follow.

And, like all the pioneering families that created the town of Maleny, Joseph and Maria McCarthy were ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

& Dine Food Politics

Some food for thought

by Morag Gamble Ethos Foundation www.ethosfoundation.org

I

T's AN EAsy thing to do - complain about the price of food. However as Australians, we typically only spend ten percent of our disposable incomes on weekly food shopping - a lot less than the world average of 34.5 per cent, and much less than our parents or grandparents did.

Prices for food in Australia may be going up, but not in proportion to our average wage.

Consider too that generally less than 10-15 percent of the grocery dollar goes to the farmer. One hundred years ago, this used to be well over half.

Regaining the balance in the food dollar is one of the key reasons local food systems have become so popular, and need further support.

Buying produce more directly through farmers markets, road stands, food co-operatives and community supported agriculture all ensure the profit margin to farmers is increased.

As consumers, it is worth stopping to take a look at the situation in the many farming areas.

Currently there are around 150,000 farmers in Australia managing over sixty percent of Australia’s landmass. Their average age is 53, but actually 25 per cent of farmers are over 65.

Australian farms produce 93% of the food consumed in Australia and also export 60% of their produce.

Over the past 30 years however, the number of people in farming has dropped by forty percent. This means that a startling average of 9.6 farmers leave the land each day, and this rate seems to be increasing.

It is a global trend. In Australia, there are many reasons for this - drought, flood, crippling debt and low prices.

Recent figures from Longreach alone show that around a family a week have been walking off their farms - no longer able to deal with debt accumulated during the current drought.

Many farmers have said that it is dealing with banks’ shortterm thinking that has proved to be the greatest challenge of all. In that same region, at least 75 farm families have been evicted from their farms by banks in the past year.

Here in south East Queensland, it is all too easy to remain unaware of the drought gripping Queensland. In May, eighty percent of Queensland and also forty percent of New south Wales were declared drought-stricken. The June rains have brought relief to some, but the drought is not broken yet.

As well as drought and debt, the low prices are forcing other farmers out. since the milk wars began (and coinciding with the severe floods) 130 farms in Queensland quit the dairy industry, leaving just 455. That’s a reduction of 22 percent.

The departures of farm families hurts rural farm communities, but even more devastating are the high suicide rates of farm workers.

Queensland farmers are now taking their own lives at a staggering rate - 2.2 times the national average. Disturbingly, the highest rates of suicide were observed among younger farmers aged 18–34 years.

While the price of some basic food items continue to be pushed down and climate change contributes to more extreme weather events and impacts growing, farmers’ debts continues to rise.

Let’s think again before we complain about the cost of food and consider the impact our food choices could be having on farmers and farming communities. support local farmers and local food systems. support young farmer initiatives. Often growing some of our own food reminds us how many challenges producers face and helps us to revalue the role farmers play.

Living water concert

W

E LIsTENED spellbound in Maleny to a smiling greyhaired lady last year and were amazed at ‘the power of one’. But Rosemary Breen kept insisting that it was ‘the power of many’.

It all began in 2004 when Rosemary from Inverell went to Myanmar (formerly Burma) and met Maw Maw, a young woman struggling to become a teacher.

Maleny will have the chance to be part of the ‘power of many’ when a music group, well -known in regional Australia, will give a concert to support what is now the Living Water for Myanmar Project.

“Maw Maw told me of the great need for clean water in what is known as the Dry Zone in Central Myanmar - she hoped to open a small school,” Rosemary said.

“Her teacher had been saya Toe, who has now become the organiser of the water-tank project which grew out of this tiny seed which Maw Maw had planted in my mind and heart.”

Various friends donated generously to this project. What started as a very modest idea began to grow bigger, and now forty schools and consequently villages have tanks of 3000 or 5000 gallons. Each tank costs about 2600 us dollars. In December 2014, the 74th water-tank was being built.

Mark Walton’s 40-member Wind Ensemble is also no stranger to helping those in need. Mark’s passion is to help young musicians in regional and outback Australia and for this he received an Order of Australia in 2005.

Born in New Zealand, for many years he was Chair of Performance at the sydney Conservatorium. Music Festivals in Mungindi, workshops in Broken Hill, Coonabarabran and

Tibooburra, concerts to spirits in raise Christchurch and Kabul and now a concert to provide water tanks for Myanmar are all what he and his travelling wind ensemble enjoy.

It was this encouragement of keen musicians that helped to attract Maleny musician David Humphries to take up the saxophone. He has joined Mark’s Winter Warmer Ensemble for the July week and will play in the Maleny Concert.

Mark Walton will perform some spellbinding solos. The group have fun rehearsing a range of classics, and some toetapping oldies on a huge range of instruments and then make their choice of favourites for their two concerts on the sunshine Coast.

The first concert is at the Mooloolaba yacht Club on July 16, and the second is on Friday July 17 at Maleny Catholic Church, 45 Cedar street, Maleny at 9.30am including morning tea.

Cost: $10. Maleny proceeds will go to Rosemary’s Myanmar Project. Booking: Cath/Pat 5499 9605 or Connie 5435 2589.

e Cheesemaker and his jazz quartet

by Lisa Blainey

B

EFORE CHEEsEMAKING Maleny’s Trevor Hart was a jazz musician and composer. Trevor says, “When I started making cheese people would stop me in the street quite upset and say, why have you given up music? I hadn’t given up music, I was just doing something else at the moment.”

Last year during his Churchill scholarship overseas trip Trevor met an isolated Basque cheesemaker and was inspired to refine his “A Love supreme,” a fresh style Buffalo cheese as soon as he returned home.

Trevor says, “A Love supreme now has a much more beautiful texture.”

A Love supreme and Buffalo Haloumi are both finalists in this year’s Delicious Magazine Awards. Winners will be announced July 27.

Discovering old ways of making cheese brought home to Trevor the similarities between cheesemaking and music, “The way I work with cheese comes from a strong musical background. Cheese is all about composition and texture, the same with music.”

Trevor Hart has two cheeses as finalists in the 2015 Delicious Magazine Awards

A few months ago the “Trevor Hart Quartet” got back together after a four year break. Trevor said, “It must be at least ten years since I played in Maleny, and back then it was part of a nation-wide tour.”

The Trevor Hart Quartet with Andrew Vievers on Flamenco guitar will be playing on sunday, July 19, at 2.30pm at Maleny Marketplace Organic Café.

Campervanning around Scotland

Doug and Dale on the field of Culloden

Dale on the top of Cairngorm Mountain

A fishing village caught in time on the west coast

E LOVE THE freedom that campervan holidays provide—to go where and when we like. Therefore, when it came to planning an eight-week trip around the uK, we took it for granted that we could do likewise over there.

We had no plan; no set route. Just followed our noses winding over craggy mountains, through glens, past lochs in a landscape that took my breath away. All on one-vehiclewide laneways with ‘passing places’ every few hundred metres. Not for the faint-hearted. Words cannot describe the grandeur of the scottish Highlands. you have to be there.

We camped at the foot of Ben Nevis—scotland’s highest peak; in Glenmore Forest Park beside Loch Morlich; beside picturesque fishing villages, caught in time. At times it was chilly outside, but we were snug as bugs in our little camper.

I think the choice in campervan was key to our success. A larger vehicle would not have been as manoeuvrable crossing the pass above Applecross, shrouded in mist.

I satisfied a long-term desire to spend a few days in Cairngorm National Park, which turned out to be the highlight for me. We hiked around Loch Morlich through scotts pine forests carpeted with heather in bloom, following a well-defined path, for eleven kilometres.

With the forest on one side and the water on the other, there was no chance of getting lost. The sun shone, mountains and fluffy clouds reflected on the mirror-smooth surface. sheer magic. The next day we hopped on the funicular to the top of Cairngorm Mountain.

We went in autumn (september and October) when the midges and most of the tourists had left. It is the perfect time to travel in scotland, provided you don’t mind a little coolness in the air. There is no need to book a campsite ahead. Most of the time, we were the only campers.

We sampled Arbroath smokies on the east coast, walked to the Bullers of Buchan where a tiny village perches on a cliff top with waves thundering below. Wandered along the edge of the North sea in old Aberdeen as a Haar (sea mist) arrived.

The Lake District, just south of the border, is almost as spectacular as scotland. Once again, we camped by the water, then stood in the heart of the 5,000 year-old stone circles of Castlerigg. something we couldn’t do at stonehenge.

We thought we had allowed enough time, but there is still so much more to see.

Nonagenarians

in a time capsule

T

HE MALENy sENIOR Citizens enjoyed a special meeting in June celebrating the birthdays of seven members who turn 90 this year, along with another nine members who have already reached this milestone.

With 106 members, many well into their nineties, President Lyn Burgess said, "This is the first time that we have done anything like the 90th celebrations."

Nonagenarians Enid Cox, Eileen Lee, Margaret Wild, Tom Dansie, Frank Rough, Harold Lyon, Olga Webster, Grace Cowan and Dulcie sperling welcomed Doug and Betty Watson, Margaret suckling, Valerie Carr, Marjorie Dobbs, Hilda Penney and Betty Wilton who have all entered their ninetieth decade in 2015.

Lyn explained, "Normally the Welfare Officer sends a card for everyday birthdays. If it is near the meeting we try to make sure that they are recognised with birthday wishes and a cake. The Indoor Bowls and Friday Drop-in members will often have that type of celebration as well.

"Most of the members celebrating 90 years are longer-term residents of the community. Hilda for instance was born in the Maleny soldiers Memorial Hospital and has lived in the area all her life. Most of the others are also well known for their community involvement over the years.�

The occasion prompted the group to provide a photo for the Rotary Time

HINTERLAND TIMEs – JuLy 2015

Capsule, which is due to be interned later this year.

Lyn said, "Our members believed that it would be a good record of seniors’ involvement in the community and with all the names on the back it will be easier for descendants to identify with the current members. There may not be a seniors group in 2040 when the capsule is opened."

Through coming together on a regular basis Maleny senior Citizens gives support in a variety of ways. Lyn says it may be as simple as organising a lift for someone, or providing information of the services available in the community by having guest speakers as often as is possible.

Husband and wife, Doug and Betty Watson turned 90 and celebrated a 60 year anniversary in January

Hinterland Annual Events

Right: Nonagenarians Margaret Wild and Harold Lyon

Age is not a barrier to giving back to the community. Their big Cancer Morning Tea raised monies for the Cancer Council. This year the chosen group is Prostate Cancer and members will hand over $900 at the Muscle on the Mountain event on July 5.

President of the seniors Group, Lyn, encourages participation in a variety of activities, including trips around the local area.

"We visit places that they may not have been to before or it has been some time since they last visited. It helps members to stay in touch and the social interaction keeps everyone active."

The group welcomes new members, so come along to a monthly meeting, Indoor Bowls on Wednesday mornings or the Drop-in (social) on Friday mornings in the Verandah Room, Maleny Community Centre.

Opera Q’s Figaro to the Hinterland M

Jason Barry-Smith will be in Maleny to sing Figaro in Adventures of Figaro on August 2.

ALENy ARTs COuNCIL will bring Opera Queensland to the Hinterland for the first time on August 2 with The Adventures of Figaro, a madcap version of Rossini’s Barber of Seville.

For the first time we shall see the work of Queensland Opera’s artistic director, Lindy Hume. An award winner for her fresh interpretations of major works, Lindy has created more than 50 major productions across Australasia and with leading overseas companies.

Musical arrangement is by Queensland symphony Orchestra’s Craig Allister young.

The Adventures of Figaro features celebrated Queensland performers Jason Barry-smith in the title role, and Ashleigh Crane as Rosina. Matthew Broadbent will play Doctor Bartolo, and sandro Colarelli the frazzled servant Fiorello.

Four singers and three musicians will complement the cast in this version of the well-loved opera, performed in English.

The story follows the adventures of the barber Figaro as he attempts to help Count Almaviva rescue Rosina from the romantic clutches of the doddery Doctor Bartolo.

President of Maleny Arts Council, Professor Jennifer Radbourne, said the committee was pleased to be able to include this production in its program.

“Our role is to facilitate quality professional music and theatre on the Hinterland and this year we have offerings including drama, children’s theatre, opera and music.

We are delighted to present this celebrated performance in Maleny, and we thank Opera Queensland and the Playing Queensland Fund for this opportunity” she said.

The Adventures of Figaro performs in the Maleny

Community Centre on sunday, August 2 at 2pm, and the Arts Council invites audience members to join the cast for drinks on the Deck after the show.

Bookings at the Maleny Information Centre or online at www.malenyartscouncil.com

the Maleny Library, with two laptops to assist their clients and provide some privacy during their sessions. The tutors and clients can now offer sessions in the meeting room rather than at the public computers in the main library area.

The Rotary Club of Maleny provide grant funding through the Friends for the purchase of six CD players with headphones for permanent loan to Blue Care Erowal Aged Care Facility, so residents can borrow the library’s audiobooks.

Many of the residents have been avid readers all their lives and audiobooks are a wonderful way for them to continue to enjoy literature when their eyesight is letting them down.

The new CD players will supplement the two, eleven-year-old players they have and feature the MP3 format needed to play the current generation of audiobooks.

For more information about the Friends contact the Maleny Library on 5435 3125 or attend one of their meetings at the Maleny Library from 10am on the first Thursday of each month.

Renee Blackwell:

Louis Dalozzo

an australian gem

L

OuIs DALOZZO was born in Italy. His early life was spent in the densely populated cities of Western Europe. As a young, married man he settled in Noumea in New Caledonia where he and his wife, Lucette also an artist, spent several years painting volcanic landscapes. “The travelling spirit had a grasp on us both and it was not until we reached ‘The Great southern Land’ that we knew we had found exactly what we had been searching for.� Louis said.

Lucette and I and our two small children spent much of the 1970s making bohemian treks around Australia.

We were overwhelmed by the intense colours, defined contours and unique atmospheres of the outback. The sheer expanse of the deserts, canyons, gorges and rainforests just blew me away and I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my days living and painting in Australia.�

More than three decades later, Louis still enjoys painting the “The Wide Brown Land�. “I continue to explore new ways of capturing the stunning beauty and starkness of the outback on canvas. I was stoked when a critic said to me recently that I had a refreshingly new approach to material widely used by so many Australian artists.

I want my paintings to convey an aura of space and timeless beauty and reflect the intense colours, defined contours and unique atmosphere of the Australian outback.�

Open daily from 10 to 5, the Montville Art Gallery is located at 138 Main street, Montville opposite the Village Green.

From july 1st Louis’ paintings will be featured under ‘Exhibitions’ on the gallery’s website:

The Woodies take time out for a cuppa

J

usT RETuRNED FROM her fully sponsored trip to the International Jewellery symposium in Albuquerque New Mexico, Maleny’s own iconic jewellery designer Renee Blackwell takes a moment to reflect on her united states trip, her past successes, and talk about her upcoming exhibition at Maleny Jewellers.

Renee says, “It was such an honor to be selected to represent Australia at the International symposium.

Rubbing shoulders with the elite of the jewellery manufacturing world was so inspirational. “With cutting-edge technology and new ways of doing things at the forefront of each segment, I was greatly inspired to move ahead in my own way.

Also, to have the entire symposium gifted to me as a scholarship grant from Rio Grande, the largest jewellery manufacturer in North America was unexpected.�

As a boutique jeweller, Renee has developed a unique look and following over the years. Her latest creations, solid sterling silver settings featuring antique and vintage components, represents the ultimate in up cycle principals.

Renee is also a leader in the utilisation of Australian gemstones in her designs and was recognised at the symposium for her work featuring Zebra stone, Chrysoprase and Prehnite.

Renee’s innovative designs are recognised regionally, nationally and internationally as innovative and forward thinking. “What is remarkable,� says Renee, “is that my many customers, some dedicated collectors; some new to my work, have moved their tastes along with my growth, and continue to support me as my journey of discovery continues.�

Renee continues, “I have called my upcoming sales

Renee Blackwell (left) and Sandra Goulton are planning an exhibition in July

Exhibition “Dreams and Delights�.

Hosted by Maleny Jewellers July 24, 3 – 7pm and July 25, 9am – 1pm, the exhibition will showcase many pieces inspired by my recent travels.

I am delighted to have Maleny Jewellers host this event.

They are a dedicated stockist, and have given my creations front and centre display place at both of their stores.�

Sticks & STONES T

ONI MIA sIMMONDs of PaperBark Photography is launching her latest project Sticks and Stones at Montville, where she has family connections. she has divided her work into two Montville exhibitions: Sticks and Stones: The Stones Collection at Montville Village Hall until August 8 and Sticks and Stones: The Sticks Collection at Little May Espresso Café will be launched August 1.

The Montville Village Hall has special significance for Toni her parents, Doug and Cate Patterson, were married at the hall in the early ‘80s and have celebrated numerous significant birthdays there during subsequent years.

The hall, thus, provided an apt location to launch her first solo exhibition - the history and charm of the space providing an ideal backdrop for her macro photographs of nature.

In contrast, the minimal and elegant décor - white-washed walls with warm ply and black furnishings - found in Montville’s Little May Espresso Café, will compliment Toni’s subtle grey-tones found in her sticks Collection, due to be launched on August 1.

Toni believes photography inspires a particular way of seeing: “I search for beauty in the very small and often overlooked, as well as subject matter that alludes to its own temporality and decay, such as ruins, shadows, sediment in sand, street art – spectral images on photographic paper”.

Toni Simmonds from the Stones Collection

In 2003, she completed a Masters Research Thesis Mein Kodak: Avant-Garde Photography in 1920s Germany. This photography initiated a complex engagement with the modern world and marked a significant re-evaluation of the relationship between the camera, perception and reality.

Toni explains, “In my practice today, I endeavour to shift ways of seeing and to expose patterns in nature and beauty hidden in everyday environments.

“I love the process of looking for photographs - of consciously slowing everything down and focusing on discovering a visual ‘elegance’ that surrounds us in the most unexpected places that often goes unnoticed and / or undiscovered.”

Toni lives in the Brisbane Hinterland and works in Collection Preservation and Digitisation at the state Library of Queensland.

Viewings at Montville Hall: 0427 790 472 or 0429 997 771.

More information: www.paperbarkphotography.com.au

Toni has been a practicing photographer for almost 20 years. Initially, whilst completing a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) at the Queensland university of Technology, she worked in a darkroom and experimented with black and white film and photograms, intrigued with patterns, shadows and the relationship between dance and photography.

N AN EFFORT to reduce stress on farmers, Buy a Bale is seeking suitably qualified or experienced people to act as farm sitters.

We’re asking those interested to register and they will forward your details to farmers seeking a break.

The current stresses being faced by rural families come in many forms, not just lack of feed or lack of income but also in the ability to get away from the farm.

Many farmers have spoken with us about the need for a break, but many feel they can’t leave while the property is in drought and while remaining animals need daily assistance.

In some ways taking a break while drought is gripping a farm is hard to do, but the mental health benefits of trusting your property to a friend or qualified person can relieve some of the anguish and ongoing stress.

If you’re interested in becoming part of the Farm sitting program please register as a farmer or a sitter through: http://www.buyabale.com.au/in-thenews/farm-sitting-a-great-way-tosee-the-countryside-and-help-out

Maleny Town and Country helps Maleny Hospital Auxiliary P

REsIDENT OF THE Maleny Hospital Auxiliary, Glennis Manning is very grateful.

Maleny Town and Country won Champion in the Business Window Dressing Competition with their haybale, poppy, pumpkin and milkcan creation in the Centenary of ANZAC theme. The team promptly gave their winnings to the worthy group.

Glennis said, "The Auxiliary are very appreciative of the Maleny Town and Country decision to donate, and their thoughtfulness of the work of the Auxiliary in purchasing equipment and providing for the needs of the hospital."

Last year the Maleny Hospital Auxiliary provided resources valued over $31,500 to the hospital. Its role is

also to keep the community informed on the value and needs of the hospital.

And they are busy!

"We've just spent two days catering at Gardening on the Edge and our next event is Muscle on the Mountain - assembling burgers!

"There were 700 cars there last year. It was absolutely amazing and it should be as large, if not larger this year."

The show and shine Day is on July 5 - make sure you taste a burger!

ADVERTIsEMENT

Happy customers say it all for DC (off grid) Greg, (below) from Kilkivan, installed a 10kWh ByD DC (stand alone) Lithiumion battery and 15 Phono solar panels after seeing it featured in the local paper and has been excited about the amount of equipment he has been able to run with the system.

After a couple of days for installation by our electricians simon and Don, the system was up and running. The ByD DEss (Distributed Energy storage system) has 9kWh of usable stored

energy with a 3kW inverter and expected life span of over 20 years.

Greg should be looking pretty for years to come with no electricity costs what so ever - lucky him! Greg said he has been really happy with the output from the unit, with it powering all of his appliances including a fridge, freezer and his rural cool room. Much, much more than what was expected.

By reason of Wally (right) installing panels with his 2 x batteries, he is able to provide ALL the energy he needs to run his house.

And Wally does not require any Energex approval to increase his solar collection, because there is no AC inverter.

Wally’s house circuits are operated from Wally’s new panels and batteries, thus allowing him to export much more on the high feed in tariff.

These are just two examples of what can be achieved from this fantastic

technology. All Energy HQ have done all the hard work and tweaked all the issues that new technology brings. All Energy HQ have been experts in solar since 1989 and now are leading the way with battery storage for residential and commercial applications.

Community News Community News Community News Council welcomes Hinterland Connect news sunshine Coast Council has welcomed the state Government’s public commitment to fully fund the Hinterland Connect bus service following an eightyear joint trial.

Transport Portfolio holder, Division One Councillor Rick Baberowski, said he was glad the time had come for the state Government to accept full responsibility for Hinterland Connect, after passenger numbers showed it was a valued and viable service.

“In the end, the provision of public transport is a state Government responsibility and we believe the lengthy trial, 50% funded by Council, has shown it made good sense for this to become a permanent feature on the Coast’s bus timetables,” Cr Baberowski said.

Division 5 Cr Jenny McKay said the trial had shown Hinterland Connect was a service both needed and wanted by local residents.

The Hinterland Connect service provides transport between Maleny and Nambour. It connects to TransLink bus services on the Coast, and train services to Brisbane.

John Birmingham in-conversation John Birmingham is the author of the cult classic He Died With a Felafel in His Hand; the award-winning history Leviathan; the Axis of Time series and the Disappearance trilogy.

This year Birmingham has taken the radical step of publishing all three Dave Hooper books at once.

The starting point is out in the gulf of Mexico, and one of the oil rigs has drilled too deep. But what they’ve released isn’t oil, it’s all the monsters of mythology, spewing out of holes broken through the wall between the worlds.

The three novels Emergence, Resistance and Ascendance follow the journey that balding, overweight over-sexed Dave has to make to save humanity, and himself.

John Birmingham is an outspoken commentator on everything in our culture. Don’t miss him.

Author Andrew McMillen will also be in conversation with steven Lang.

Landsborough Museum

Volunteers Jan Rossow, Patricia Blackstock, Bereny Hadley and Janelle Radnedge by the museums’ welcome wall

by Gay Liddington

A

GROuP OF volunteers congregate with their morning cuppa on a sunny verandah of the Landsborough Museum. This is the norm four days a week. Laughter infuses the air…a warm welcome.

Ninety-one years ago Landsborough shire Chambers opened for council business. The state Heritage listed building, purpose-built for council, now houses the regions’ historical collection.

The shire of Landsborough Historical society Inc. was formed in 1973 and opened the Landsborough Museum in 1976.

The building which retains its original charm has been extended to accommodate the valuable collection. “It covers the history of the old Landsborough shire which ran from the north side of Mooloolah to the south side of Beerburrum, from Maleny to Caloundra.

“Most of the content has been donated. We’re always interested in contributions so long as they fit with our local collection policy,” said the society’s secretary Jan Rossow. stepping into the foyer of the Landsborough Museum one observes the welcome wall, a collage of photographs and information. The wall delivers an impact that urges the visitor to explore further. you are greeted by an enthusiastic volunteer.

Passing through the lobby you step into the stan Tutt Library. It is in this area that computers are available for

research using MIDAs (Museum Interactive Data Access system).

“It offers powerful search capabilities that can access hundreds of thousands of onsite records to provide information on local people, places and events.

“We also encourage people to go to our website and flick through these images in order to identify content and help update the records,” shared Martin scurlock, the museums’ network administrator and software developer.

Next is ‘The Breezway’. This is an exhibition area that currently displays the ‘Far from this Land’ exhibition. This was funded by sunshine Coast Council and a Queensland Anzac Centenary Grant.

It speaks of the hardships and heroes of war. Groups congregate here for pre-booked butter-making demonstrations, sampling the hand churned delight on a slice of damper.

“We get a lot of school groups through because history was reintroduced into the curriculum. We encourage the children to ‘discover’ and demonstrate how to make butter and usually make fairy bread for the kids,” said Jan. The Centenary Wing built in 1988 houses the museums’ displays and takes the viewer back in time, while in the room outback a team of dedicated work-shoppers man the Dave Hankinson Workshop. They are instrumental in restoration, repairs and maintenance of historic machinery that is displayed for public viewing.

A visit to Landsborough Museum will stimulate your senses and engage your mind. Call in and mention the Hinterland Times to receive half price admission. Offer ends July 31. www.landsboroughmuseum.org.au

Animal Rescue

A Table in the Orchard

by Patrick George

by Michelle Crawford Organising cocktail parties at the sydney Opera House sounds perfectly glamorous, and for a while it was for Michelle Crawford. But once she became a mother, the yearning to find her own little slice of heaven in the country could no longer be ignored. An old farmhouse nestled in Tasmania’s lush Huon Valley offered the chance to make that a dream come true.

Warm, down to earth, and inspiring, and lushly illustrated with lip-smacking images and recipes, A Table in the Orchard is breathtaking proof of how seductive a taste of slow living in one of the most beautiful valleys in Tasmania might be.

This book is a gentle introduction to the importance of animal welfare, a book where you become a rescue hero. simply turn the transparent page and rescue the animal. From one scenario to another the reader chooses each animal’s fate. you’ll never wear alligator shoes again!

This is a clever little book that helps highlight the need to protect animals.

A percentage of the royalties from this book will be donated to the Born Free Foundation.

My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologises

by Fredrik Backman Elsa is seven years old and different. Her grandmother is seventy-seven years old and crazy. she is also Elsa's best, and only, friend. so when Elsa's grandmother dies and leaves behind a series of letters apologizing to people she has hurt, it marks the beginning of her greatest adventure.

My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologises is told with the same comic accuracy and beating heart as Fredrik Backman's bestselling debut novel, A Man Called Ove. It is a story about life and death and one of the most important human rights: the right to be different.

HEN IT COMEs to seed dispersal you may invariably think of those gaudy members of the plant kingdom who use birds to spread their seed by hiding them in a fruit.

It could be said that these plants were the first beings to master the art of advertising. That is to say - the art of making you believe, that you just have to have their fruit, no matter how low the food value, because it’s such a lovely colour! sure some fruit are relatively nutritious and the lucky bird that’s eaten them can roost on a warm sunny branch and relax while the digestive processes take place.

However, most fruit are designed to pass straight through digestive systems as quickly as possible leaving birds feeling hungry and having to eat even more fruit – how devious!

Before you go thinking how superior you are and how dumb birds are for getting themselves trapped in a vicious circle like that, may I remind you that at least the birds only get sucked in by the advertisers when it comes to food…

Then there are those free spirits of the botanical kingdom who use wind power!

Ferns and mosses were amongst the earliest of plants and produce spores that are wholly spread by wind. Tree

fern spore is particularly good at getting about.

Now I don’t want you to panic but you’re probably inhaling some at the moment, its everywhere! Fern spore will germinate on any moist, shady and bare patch of soil which is great for all you revegetators out there because ferns will turn up in your patch of developing forest all by themselves when the conditions become right.

Besides the ferns many trees have evolved to spread their seed in the wind. some familiar examples are the ancient conifers (excluding the Bunya of course) whose flat seeds are blown about in the summer storms and also the fine seed of eucalypts that are released to float on the breeze after a bush fire.

The great limitation of wind dispersal is of course the wind itself. After all what happens if a few weeks of calm weather sets in when you’ve got a big crop of fruit on!

Also unless your seed is particularly small then you’re going to be lucky if your seed goes any more than a kilometre. This poses a big problem for the spread and maybe survival of some of the wind dispersed species in the fragmented forests of southeast Queensland.

When it comes to tree planting we should make sure these species are on our planting lists particularly if no parent trees of the same species appear close by.

Wheelie bins with red lids Have you noticed some waste wheelie bins with red lids and wondered why? Waste bin lids are being gradually replaced with red ones to comply with the Australian standard. Only new lids and replacements for damaged lids are red – it’s a long term approach to limit the cost.

Fox control during July Council and Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service are working to control fox breeding between Mudjimba and Peregian to protect vulnerable native animals including water mice, ground parrots and the endangered loggerhead turtle’s eggs and hatchlings. Local residents can help by ensuring their pets don’t stray into nearby bushland areas and reporting any possible fox den locations to council.

National Tree Day Council and Planet Ark invite you to take part in a local National Tree Day event on Sunday 26th July at Kenilworth, Little Mountain, Yaroomba and Mudjimba. For more information about National Tree Day, to find a site or to view safety information visit www.treeday.planetark.org

The Winter Season

H

ERE IN THE sub-tropics July is usually our coldest month. The cool and often dry weather slows down growth and makes it an ideal time to prepare for the season ahead. We might actually get on top of the maintenance; which means slashing soft weeds, chopping back woody ones and starting to prepare the ground for the next planting project. Clearing access routes and generally catching up on a myriad of small tasks can also be undertaken. At least it’s cooler and more conducive to energetic activity.

Don’t forget the flowering glycine before it can set fruit.

It’s a problem legume that will climb over any available plants. Once the seedpods dry, they pop and scatter seeds everywhere. Herbicide is most effective on new growth so it’s not the best time of year to spray but no doubt because of high soil moisture levels, glycine is growing vigorously right now.

It’s the time of year when wallabies love to strip bark from young trees so make sure you have adequate protective wallaby guards. use commercial guards or manufacture your own from chicken wire. The latter will

eventually rust but can be recycled over about 8 years.

It’s a good time when growth has slowed, or possibly ceased, to do essential pruning. shrubs that overhang paths can be cut back to a suitable bud. Look for the leaf scars and cut just above them. By using that approach, dieback along an older stem will be avoided, reducing the possibility of invasion by wood rotting fungi. New growth will start from the bud below the cut. flowering glycine Most native shrubs respond best to regular tip pruning but some, like banksias, can be pruned hard. Multi-stemmed species and some trees with a dense branching habit can generally be pruned at this time of year. These species are often suited to windbreaks.

Enjoy the cooler weather and plan for the growing season to come.

Test Your Zest with Loors Landscaping FRANZ LOORS ... landscaping the Range for the past 24 years Many back yards have at least one citrus tree. If not, it may be time to plant one! Oranges, mandarin's, lemons, limes, tangelos, pummelo's and cumquats to name a few.

Dwarf varieties are also available for smaller spaces or large pots. When selecting your citrus trees, choose varieties that have been developed for our warmer climate, which can minimise the effect of diseases such as brown spot. Also choose varieties that fruit at different times of the year.

A well drained soil in a full sun position is best. Planting on a raised mound with rich organic matter will increase drainage.

Mulch well, but be sure not to cover the base of the trunk as this could cause collar rot. Fertilise with organic based fertilizers in August and November, spreading the fertilizer away from the base of the tree towards the drip line. Prune when the weather is just starting to warm up, taking

out any diseased or weak limbs and generally forming an open, well shaped tree.

There are some pests and diseases that can be easily controlled. Bronze orange bugs or stink bugs suck the sap out of the tree and can be controlled by physically picking them off the tree wearing gloves and eye protection. This is better than using strong insecticides. Leaf miner, aphids and scale can be controlled with white oil or ecooil and white louse scale can be controlled with lime sulphur. Citrus borer can be a big problem if not controlled. They drill holes into the tree trunk leaving tell tale signs of fine sawdust. A piece of wire forced down a newly drilled hole could skewer the culprit.

Napthalene flakes pushed into the holes and then sealed with tar is another option.

So plant some citrus, and with a little care, you will be enjoying your harvest for years to come.

Homeless on the Range T

HE MEMORy of the brief occasions in this life when I experienced homelessness still gives me the chills when I see homeless people on the street.

Australia struggles to find affordable accommodation for people who have found themselves homeless, in a rental market controlled by investors with heavy mortgage commitments.

There are complex reasons why people find themselves with nowhere to live, but a lack of affordable housing is a key reason.

The Maleny Neighbourhood Centre initiated a “conversation” to discuss homelessness and emergency housing.

Centre Coordinator Catherine Ovenden said that in 2014, MNC helped 440 adults and 330 children with food and gave out 10 street swags. The latter are made by inmates of Woodford Correctional Centre. They cost $80 each and the MNC is always grateful for donations to ensure they have a swag on hand.

Homelessness Australia says one in 200 Australians is homeless (105,237), although only about 6% of those are likely to be sleeping rough. But it can be difficult to separate fact from myth.

A local television crew turned up for the MNC workshop having heard there were 14 mothers with children around Maleny living in their cars.

The key problems in Maleny and other small hinterland settlements are tight rental markets and a shortage of subsidised public housing.

The median rent for a unit in Maleny is $318 per week and $338 for a house. sQM Research says the rental vacancy rate in Maleny was 1.6% as of March 30. The sunshine Coast rental vacancy is also tight (1.9%) and has been for some years.

Coast2Bay Housing Group CEO Morrie Evans told the workshop 60 people (including 22 children) were living in makeshift shelters in a Noosa Lakes campground. The workshop was told that young people (teenagers) are particularly vulnerable if they become homeless due to family

breakdown or other issues.

A research report funded by the Rotary Club of Maleny found that there was a need for social and emergency respite housing, but the infrastructure was not in place nor planned.

There is a high level of unoccupied housing and private rental housing is limited and expensive. Existing responses include a high level of “house-sitting,” volunteer accommodation schemes, improvised dwellings and sharedhouse arrangements.

Tonight, when you slip into your warm bed, spare a thought for those sleeping on a park bench, under a tree or a bridge.

The street swag is a temporary solution, but it’s surely better than not having one at all. www.streetswags.com.

Mungo MacCallum

M ORALS O

uR PRIME MINIsTER deals in absolutes. Coal is good for humanity – not some coal or some parts of humanity. No suggestion that coal can have its disadvantages, adverse consequences, to sully its benefits.

There are no qualifications: coal is good for humanity. The sky is blue, the grass is green, beauty is truth, truth beauty; that is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know.

And it’s a similar story with border protection: the most moral thing you can do is to stop the boats. No matter that this eternal verity does not even appear in Tony Abbott’s own catechism: there is no mention of Thou shalt stop the Boats among the Ten Commandments, nor does the sermon on the Mount contain the message Blessed are the boatstoppers, for they are the most moral of us all.

Abbott’s repeated insistence that everything that has been done to stop the boats has been lawful may or may not be true: he refuses to adduce no evidence to support it. But even if it is to be accepted – at least as far as Australian law is concerned – it has almost nothing to do with morality.

Indeed, when it comes to paying off people smugglers to return the hapless cargo to Indonesia, it may not even be good policy; as one historically-minded commentator has reminded us, once you pay the danegeld, you will never get rid of the Dane. And moral, except in a strictly ends-justifymeans sense, it most certainly is not.

The best Abbott’s boosters have been able to say is that it is probably no more immoral than some other behaviour regarding people smugglers.

Abbott’s bestie, The Australian’s foreign editor Greg sheridan assures his readers that the smugglers often bribe Indonesian police to give them a green light. And no doubt they try it – crooks bribing cops is what crooks do. But it is a bit different from cops bribing crooks, which is what we are talking about.

And it has also been revealed that it was likely – again no one will confirm it – that in the past Australian officials have bribed people smugglers or their cohorts to provide information. Distasteful, certainly, but paying phizzgigs is

accepted police practice.

What is rather more unusual is paying the crooks to continue and resume their previous criminal activities, especially when there are innocent victims who may be involved.

However this fine distinction has successfully confused the issue, to the extent that it has taken the government largely off the hook at a time when it appeared to have been floundering.

Two ministers, Julie Bishop and Peter Dutton, who should have been in the loop, initially responded by indignantly denying that it had ever happened, only to tacitly admit after more mature consideration, that they had perhaps misspoken. since then, both they and all their colleagues have followed the rote mantra of offering the lawful line, while refusing to discuss what they call operational matters.

Bribery is operational? some operation.

This ritual secrecy is, of course, somewhat selective; sheridan, for one, seems to have little trouble unearthing his version of what happened when it is in the interests of the government. And the Indonesians are far from satisfied – but who cares about the Indonesians?

What matters is the domestic politics, and it is here that Bill shorten, having announced that he would prosecute the case to the utmost, has once again folded.

It is almost beyond belief that shorten and his advisers were apparently not aware, or did not check, that the bribes had not emerged overnight; the cops and spooks were just as likely to have been slipping their backhanders to willing traffickers in the Rudd-Gillard years, if not before.

A modicum of due diligence would have had shorten prepared for the counter attack, and to be able to explain the gross discrepancy between what happened then and what has allegedly happened now. But it appears that the Labor leader is just as myopic about the past as about the future.

Instead of going after the shadowy figure of Agus (clearly

an assumed name – perhaps a mispronunciation of Argus, the ever-seeing watchman of the gods) and the broken deal that saw the crew and their hapless passengers transferred to two other vessels with a minimum of fuel and food, as a result of which one ran out of juice and the other, now overloaded, ran aground and needed rescue by the longsuffering locals.

Instead of pursuing this clear evidence of cruelty, betrayal and danger to life attested by both the crew and the asylum seekers, the leader of the always loyal opposition again fell into silence and went to water.

And the same lack of prescience has now caught up with the allegations over his trade union dealings in the past.

He called the Heydon commission a witch hunt, and predicted that it would be used to target Labor leaders and particularly him, but he apparently did nothing to forearm himself when the attack boiled over from the courtroom into the parliament and the media.

Now he is again on the defensive. He may clear himself of the charges, but he is unlikely to allay the feeling that he has been an opportunist, always looking for personal advancement as the main chance.

Talk that he is vulnerable as the party leader is fanciful; not only he is protected by the Rudd rules, but a justified fear that he would unleash a fearsome retaliation and vengeance against any move to challenge him has potential contenders effectively cowered.

The party room is secure. But the electorate is another matter. After a long period of indecision, the voters are moving increasingly to the conclusion that Bill shorten simply can’t hack it.

His position is perhaps similar to that of an opposition leader of some 20 years ago; in 1996 Malcolm McGregor noted that the only reason John Howard won that federal election was because he was standing against Paul Keating.

If he had been unopposed, he would have lost. so shorten must be desperately hoping that Tony Abbott can hang on as Prime Minister. That looks like being his last, best hope.

In Fitness ...and in Health Are you tired and lacking energy?

Ayurvedic Health Advice to Suit You Memory L

HERE’S wHy! General mental and/or physical fatigue over the course of your day is a dysfunction you shouldn’t ignore. It’s a bodily stress and over time you will experience health problems because you are not coping with the day to day demands of your life. This will eventually run down your adrenal (stress handling) system and also your thyroid gland. When this happens your metabolism gets sluggish, you retain fluid and gain weight (too much body fat). Any exercise routine you may have been using goes out the window and you develop an aerobic deficiency. you’re unfit. This gets depressing and it’s just another stress you can do without.

Most of the people we treat now who are tired and run down, have problems with some or all of the following. some of these points may surprise you but it’s simple, if they’re not corrected you are never going to feel well.

Here they are: • Nutritional Deficiencies – you are unable to tap into your fat burning capabilities. In fact what you are eating literally switches off this mechanism. you’re overweight and can’t shift it.

• Toxicity – your liver and digestive system are toxic, you’re probably not absorbing your nutrients. you’ve got indigestion, a coated tongue and gas.

• Oestrogen Dominant – oestrogen slows the thyroid and makes your metabolism sluggish. your PMT is terrible.

• Acidity – your body is way too acidic, the wrong diet and stress cause this.

• Free Radicals – the result of all the above stresses and more. If you’re antioxidant deficient you’re in trouble.

I highly recommend you get these imbalances sorted out. you’ll appreciate the results.

Joh n you can’t lose on this investment.

Oss OF MEMORy is accepted as being just part of the aging process. However younger people are finding that with everyday stress and the information overload their memories Wendy Rosenfeldt are on the decline.

What we eat and drink affects our mental functioning. Cold, heavy foods such as ice cream and yogurt can make us feel mentally sluggish while munching on an apple can make us feel more alert. Eating fresh natural foods has a definite benefit to our memory and the entire brain. Phytochemicals found in fruit and vegetables have been found to boost memory power. some particularly powerful memory aids are walnuts, cashews, sunflower seeds and almonds.

Memory enlivening phytochemicals are even more concentrated in herbs. A research study conducted on rats found that turmeric actually protected the synapses in the rat’s brains. Alzheimer’s patient’s ability to remember improved significantly when turmeric was added to their diet. Brahmi is also very balancing to the mind. It has been found to enhance memory and learning ability and provides antioxidant support for the brain. Gotu Kola is the most effective herb at enhancing memory power and contains, a potent inhibitor of the amyloid formation seen in Alzheimer’s disease.

Herbs assist in improving coordination between learning, retention and long-term memory. The tendency of modern researchers and pharmaceutical companies to extract the active ingredient and put it in a pill form is inferior to eating the whole plant.

Herbs, fruit and vegetables contain synergistic combinations of phytochemicals that are of great benefit to the body. A single carrot contains over 100 phytochemicals which would not be available in a pill that only contained isolated beta carotene.

While fat may have gained a bad reputation, a totally fat free diet is actually damaging to the brain. Fat is necessary for the memory to function. It is important to eat high quality fats as the brain can only use the most intelligent, nutrient rich foods. Rich in Omega 3 fatty acids and other good fats, ghee provides excellent nourishment to the mind.

As with any organ in the body, if you don’t use it becomes weaker.

Without stimulation the brain is not encouraged to maintain or create neuronal pathways. Reading a book, memorising information, learning new knowledge or just doing a crossword stimulates the brain and fosters your memory skills.

Decline in memory is also due to improper use of the mind. If your mind is always busy it can become stressed and fatigued. Mental and emotional stress produces secretion of the stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol increases alertness and provides quick energy for the flight or fight response needed in dangerous situations. However when chronically secreted in response to the on-going stress of daily life, cortisol can damage the hippocampus, an important structure in the brain involved with memory function. Meditation is of great benefit to the brain as it reduces stress, limiting the secretion of cortisol.

Exercise increases the body’s metabolic rate and helps to oxygenate the brain and sharpen the memory. It is best to exercise regularly and in moderation. Walking, gentle swimming and yoga are ideal activities to clear the mental fog without exhausting the physiology. yoga is very effective for the mind as the postures direct blood to the brain and cleanses the brain cells and organs of toxins while increasing body/mind coordination.

Slowing down and opening the mind

F

EW OF us left school with a burning desire to know more, to continue studying, to stay on the leading edge of science, and of great discoveries. Many of us seemed to be reaching towards the end of our school days as if that was a goal, like getting out of jail, or getting our freedom. We wanted to explore the world, relationships, to be financially strong and independent. In that process we got caught up in an external whirlwind of distraction.

Perhaps its time now to slow down, to see what the latest research about the mind tells us, to see what those who overcome illness and hardship have in common, to look at nutrition not just through our acquired tastes but with the curiosity and investigation of someone who understands the magnificent work that goes on within us to maintain us in health, physically, mentally and emotionally.

We need to do this, we need to become inspired, revived once again. Our old ways aren’t serving us well. We keep reaching outside ourselves for solutions. Dr Joe Dispenza in his youtube talk Evolve your brain the science of changing your mind, quotes research that shows that when people

with Type 2 Diabetes had their blood sugar levels clinically measured before eating a meal, and were then shown either a humorous lecture or a one hour comedy show while eating a big meal and had their blood sugar tested again after eating, their levels had gone down dramatically, no insulin was needed, joy was the medicine that made all the difference. supplements are important and can make a great difference to our physical emotional and mental well being, this can then flow outward to our relationships, and our sense of purpose and prosperity. Exercise is important.

Developing an awareness of our connection to the Divine is essential. Having good medical and alternative health care is important. But most importantly today I think we need to slow down, to open our minds, to get in touch with our hearts and look deeper than our busy lives take us.

IVEN HOW MANy hours most of us spend at our workplace; it’s worth putting energy into designing our work stations well.

Often a few minor ergonomic adjustments can ease the strain on our body significantly and reduce our chance of aches and pains.

Remember laptops are only designed for use over a short time. If you have to use a laptop for an extended period, consider using a separate keyboard to allow you to raise the screen so it is closer to eye level.

Distance to screen approx and arm's length

You are invited to experience specialised massage and bodywork techniques which can help to:

Taking breaks Note that even when your work station is well set up, it is important to break this sitting position regularly (every 45-60 mins at least). It doesn't take long for you to stand up, walk around and stretch.

Screen, doc Also consider a desk that can be converted to a holders, keyboard standing work station, centrally aligned as this helps create variation.

Knees at approx Take notice of early warnings. If you feel an ache right angles and or discomfort in any part of your body, check your feet supported posture and take a break. If you experience (preferably on musculo-skeletal pain that does not resolve, please the floor) call your physiotherapist at Maleny Physiotherapy for an appointment. so how friendly is your work station? It is worth investigating if your desk layout is correct for you in the long term, it is a wise investment.

Top of screen at approx eye level

Chair supporting whole of spine Forearms approximately horizontal with shoulders relaxed Small gap (two fingers width) between back of knee and front of seat base

Reach Zones

Once you have set up the workstation along these guidelines, consider the overall use of the work station in terms of reach zones.

Primary reach zone - Place things you are constantly using e.g. keyboard and mouse directly in front of you.

Secondary reach zone - this is for things you don't want to be reaching far for e.g. phone and commonly accessed files.

Outer reach zone - things used occasionally are a good excuse to get up out of your seat, like drink bottles, stationery or infrequently accessed documents.
