FROM THE EDITOR

JUNE 2014

A celebration in June Winter is popular on the hinterland, a time for long bushwalks, relaxed meals and cosy log fires.

June's HT is a celebration; of twenty years for the Upfront Club, on a marvellous 77th Maleny Show as well as cheering on some locals who are recognised as a state or national leader.

Our family took in their first Maleny Show and were captivated by the sheepdogs herding ducks, the show jumping and many varieties of poultry and cattle. The dodgems, showbags and Quota lunch were winners, too. It was good to see so many familiar faces, especially all of the hard working community groups. Remember more images are on our facebook page - I took far too many photos for HT. If you or your organisation holds markets - please

get in touch. HT is developing a special market guide each month that locals and visitors will find invaluable. We are also updating our Gallery Trail to make it more eye catching and easier for people to find out more about the wonderful galleries in our region.

Locals and visitors are spoilt for entertainment - you can choose from the Maleny Singers’ Pirates of Penzance performance, a youth classical extravaganza at Lucas Parklands or Louise King's concert at Eudlo.

Let's not forget weddings - if you or yours are "getting hitched" read our June wedding feature for the Hinterland Wedding Expo .

Six local gardens are featured at Gardening on the

Edge this weekend, it ties in perfectly with council's Green June to encourage sustainable living.

If that isn't enough to choose from, there is the Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show, a long weekend, school holidays at the end of June and even more on our What's On page.

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

PS We wish Leigh Robshaw the best of health and happiness as she takes some time away from HT, and welcome writer Leeza Baric to the fold.

Halls Creek: A liveable Sunshine Coast?

C

R. JENNY MCKAY condemns the decision to include a section of Halls Creek in the investigation area for housing development.

"Council is not against good planning for the future, but we do not support Halls Creek development on environmental ground and for lifestyle preservation. Pumicestone Passage is vital for ecotourism."

She says the interurban break is necessary as an important feature for South East Queensland, "We believe there are opportunities for growth in the Maroochy CBD and Caloundra should government need alternatives for growth in the region."

The Residents Association South (Sunshine Coast) agree, stating the inclusion of Halls Creek is unacceptable and it breaches many promises included in the LNP Policy on "A Liveable Sunshine Coast".

Andrew Powell, Member for Glass House and Minister for Environment and Heritage Protection, said, "We as Sunshine Coast LNP MPs reject the claims of the Residents Association South."

"Consistent with our long held position we confirmed with the Deputy Premier, Mayor Mark Jamieson (SCRC) and Mayor Allan Sutherland (MBRC) the State Government's commitment to protecting the inter-urban break. We also committed to deliver better infrastructure and planning."

As such, Mark McArdle and Andrew Powell have been tasked with determining, with the Sunshine Coast Council and community, which of the two existing investigation areas - Halls Creek or Beerwah East - will remain in the next SEQ Regional Plan (currently being reviewed).

Mark and Andrew recently held on-site visits to both Halls Creek and Beerwah East and the Residents Association South president attended the visits along with key representatives from a variety of community and environmental groups.

Mark and Andrew will also be participating in community forums on this matter and undertaking a range of other community consultation activities with the Sunshine Coast community over the coming months.

When HT commissioned a story on local artist, Joy Roggenkamp, writer Dale Jacobsen was delighted to find out more about her distant relative.

Joy's daughter Bronwyn said most people only leave a wardrobe of clothes when they die. When her mum passed away, Dale found the artist left her family a 'joyous' legacy.

HINTERLAND TIMES – JUNE 2014

HIS IS A LOVE STORY. In 1945, Ross McCowan, a law student, met Joy Roggenkamp, a journalism student, at University of Queensland. He had recently returned from active service in Borneo, she was a painter. They were to spend the next 54 years together.

I have known about Joy the artist all my life – she and I share a great-grandmother. It was only after a chance meeting with her daughter, Bronwyn McCowan, that I got to know something of this remarkable woman.

“She was totally driven to paint,” explains Ross, who describes his late wife as compulsive. “During her early years, with paint being in short supply and prohibitively expensive, she used water colours. That was all she could afford.”

But instead of painting still life as most women did, Joy was drawn to the outdoors. She loved landscapes and seascapes. She loved nature.

For the rest of her life she explored different techniques unusual in the watercolour world. “A turning point for her was studying with Jon Molvig around 1958,” explains Ross.

“She was using a delicate sable brush that I had bought for her. It cost me £5 ($500 in today’s money). Molvig snapped the brush in two and handed her a two-inch brush, saying: ‘use this, and throw the paint about.’ It was the making of her.”

Ross left uni to enter a real estate business, ultimately becoming a very successful developer. By then, the couple had three children (Pat, Bronwyn and Paul) and Joy found the space and financial backing to devote herself to her art.

Her friends read like a who’s who of the art world and included: Margaret Olley, Jon Molvig, John Rigby, Albert Tucker… She had a special friendship with Kathleen Mccarthur. The two women spent many hours wandering the wallum on the Sunshine Coast, sketching and painting.

Joy’s list of art awards is truly impressive, but the one she held dear was Sydney’s Wynne Watercolour Prize which she won in 1962. Through it all, Ross unselfishly assisted and promoted his wife.

Opposite page: Sixteen-year-old Joy Roggenkamp Above: Bronwyn and Ross McCowan, in the gallery Ross built for his wife, Joy Far left: The young McCowan family Left: Joy Roggenkamp and Ross McCowan Below: Plaque marks the place where Joy’s ashes are buried by the door to the gallery

“Guess who did all the framing? Guess who transported paintings all over Australia?” laughs Ross. “And guess who got the cheques?” Even after all these years, his eyes still smile with pride when he talks about her.

Molvig painted Joy’s portrait in 1963 for the Archibald Prize. It made the list of finalists, but contrary to public opinion, did not win. That painting now hangs in the UQ Art Museum, returning Joy to the campus where she studied years before. Molvig was to win the Archibald in 1966 with his portrait of Charles Blackman.

In 1983, with the children gone, Ross and Joy decided it was time for a change. In some ways it was a very difficult time, but Joy painted on regardless. They moved to Maleny where Ross built a studio beside their new home. It remains stacked with an unbelievable number of paintings.

Two other awards hold pride of place in the McCowan home. In 1997 Joy received the Medal of the Order of Australia for services to the arts and a long career of art judging, both at a very high level, and the Annual Handicapped Children’s Competition, which she judged for over 20 years.

Beside this medal sits the Kellion Medal awarded to people who have survived diabetes for 50 years. Joy had lived with diabetes since the age of 12. “She was a role model for people with diabetes,” says Ross. “She dealt with it in her own quiet way, injecting, then getting on with life.”

The illness finally took Joy in 1999, devastating Ross.

Bronwyn returned to Maleny to be near her father. “There is no denying I have inherited some of Joy’s talent for painting,” laughs Bronwyn, “but I am not as driven as she was. I love painting and sketching, attending classes and workshops, but I have never had an exhibition. Maybe I will, one day.”

As so often happens, Joy’s paintings are becoming sought after since her passing. Ross was contacted by many galleries including QUT (who now own around 40), UQ (with 20) and Queensland Art Gallery.

In 2001, artist Elizabeth Duguid approached Ross, suggesting an exhibition at the Caloundra Regional Gallery as a memorial to Joy. Ross says: “all of Joy’s paintings were in heaps, mostly unframed. Liz got me motivated to get them sorted. Sir Zelman Cowan, a long-time family friend, opened the exhibition. It was a brilliant success!”

With so many people interested in Joy’s paintings, Ross thought it would be nice to have at least some them on permanent display. “It wasn’t terribly practical having such works of art stored away in drawers. I wanted to design a proper gallery with full gallery fittings.”

The result is a beautiful space next to his home in Maleny.

The gallery is separated into three spaces, each themed. I sat in one of the deep leather lounges, lost in the world that so obsessed Joy Roggenkamp.

By the door is a plaque dedicated to Joy, wife and mother.

Her ashes lie beneath one of Ross’s prize camellia bushes.

“It’s not a public gallery,” explains Ross, “more a memorial to a woman who shared my life. But if people want to privately arrange small groups to come and view, they would be most welcome.”

Muscle on tHe Mountain:

raising prostate cancer awareness

by Dale Jacobsen

Compared to other cancers, prostate cancer has one of the highest five year survival rates*. Despite this, screening is not always on men's minds, even when risk increases with age and family history.

Muscle on the Mountain brings out the issue in a way that few in Maleny can ignore.

“I

f you think you’re going to go through life performing like a Hudson Straight 8, I’m sorry, that’s not going to happen.” Col Sinclair does not pull his punches when it comes to educating his mates on prostate cancer awareness.

Col is a big man with a big heart and big ideas. This year, the fourth Muscle on the Mountain Show & Shine event promises to be huge. “Each year we have doubled the number of cars and the amount we raise for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.”

It was Col’s wife, Ellison, who kicked off the idea of fundraising back in November 2010. “I was concerned that women are very informed about breast cancer, but men aren’t so informed about prostate cancer."

"I put it to some friends that we could hold a men’s BBQ breakfast to raise awareness of men’s health. I got three other couples to agree to invite two or three people each, and then asked the Maleny Show Society if we could

use the Quota building at the showgrounds.

Over 60 people turned up! When their bellies were full, I asked them to open their wallets.

We raised $1,100 for the PCFA,” says Ellison.

The question was, what is the next step? In 2011, Col and two mates, Michael Svenson and Peter Bundesen, who share a love of muscle cars (V8s, for the uninitiated), reckoned they could stage a Show & Shine Day at the showgrounds. “I suggested we call it Muscle on the Mountain,” grins Col. “It’s an obvious play on words, and people find it amusing.”

Once again, the Maleny Show Society sponsored the event which attracted 140 cars. Not just muscle cars either. Col, Michael and Peter decided from the outset they would accept all cars, including vintage and veteran. They raised $3,100. In 2012, there were 240 cars and $6,100 raised; last year, 480 cars and a whopping $12,000, all through a gold-coin entry donation. “It was a huge success,” said Col, obviously chuffed at the results. “We had up to 4,000 people in Maleny for the day. Some of them even tossed us money as they were leaving.”

On Sunday July 4, “Maleny will be bopping,” according to Col. Officially, the Muscle on the Mountain Show & Shine happens from 7am to 1pm on the showgrounds oval. “We are thrilled that Bowden’s Museum will be bringing a car for the show, most likely a famous race Mustang from the '60s, to celebrate 50 years of Ford Mustang.”

As with any Show & Shine event, there will be trophies for the best cars. Col has put his skills of working with wood and metal to good use. Owners of the top Australian Ford, Australian Holden, American Muscle car, European Muscle car, Veteran and Vintage vehicles will each take home one of Col’s hand-crafted trophies of polished stainless steel.

“It is a great family day out,” explains Col. “Plenty of cars and food stalls.” Local businesses have supported the event. In 2012 Kellyfield Camellias hosted an open day, raising $1800 and last year Colin James donated $1 for every ice-cream sold on the day, raising $300. Col will be meeting with the Chamber of Commerce in June to encourage local businesses to continue their enthusiastic involvement.

I asked Col what he would like to see down the track.

“Personally, I’d like to see a Show & Shine event featuring Hot Rods. They are my first love. Also, a Rock’n’Roll dance and a cruise around points of interest such as Mary Cairncross.

Really, the sky’s the limit.”

Col grew up in Maleny. Like many youth at the time, he found it necessary to move to Brisbane to find employment, but returned in 1984 and in 1987 started his own business, Sinclair Aluminium. Ten years ago, he semi-retired and took on the job of groundsman and maintenance for the Maleny Show Society. “I’ve never been busier,” he laughs.

It’s in Col’s genes to do things for the community. A fourth generation local (his great-grandfather, William Sinclair of ‘Bill and the Bear’ fame, arrived in 1886), Col is the son of Roslyn Sinclair AM. Roslyn came to Maleny in 1948 to nurse at Maleny hospital where she remained until 1983. She was a founding member of the Women’s Hospital Auxiliary and instrumental in setting up the kindergarten. In 2000, she was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia medal ‘For

service to the community of Maleny, particularly as an initiator of and contributor to a range of educational, welfare, service and health groups’. It’s no wonder Col is serious about educating men to take an interest in their wellbeing.

“Get yourself a doctor, have a blood test. It’s easier than checking oil on the dipstick on your motor car.” That’s Col Sinclair’s motto.

Melissa Borich: ENJOYING THE MOMENT A national magazine features Maleny’s Melissa Borich on the cover of their June edition. While Melissa is no stranger to gracing the pages of fashion magazines, these days her focus is on health and inner beauty.

HE AUSTRALIAN YOGA Magazine photographed one of Melissa’s vinyasa sequences, (yoga flows) on location at her new studio and in yoga wear that she designed. They have also reviewed her new Mindfulness Meditation CD. “It’s a beautiful circle of common threads, bringing everything together,” Melissa says.

Melissa describes herself as calm, content, and a “glass half full” woman, “but my mother would say that I’m a strong woman also,” she smiles.

Melissa’s experiences as an international model, co-business owner of Piece of Me, designer of yoga wear, yoga and meditation teacher, mother of Chloe, Holly and Eli and wife of Kevin Borich (Australian rock legend), has taught her that the most important thing in life is to appreciate living in the present moment.

Melissa’s Healing Space is beautiful with rays of light crossing the studio and is set amongst tall gums on her 80 acre property. However it’s Melissa’s warm and inviting personality that immediately makes you feel relaxed. We sat on the verandah in the morning sun, sipping green tea as Melissa told me her life story.

“I’ve always had a love for yoga and I did it quite diligently starting from my teens...what kept drawing me back to yoga was the way it made me feel on every level, mentally, physically and emotionally.”

When Melissa moved to Maleny, she trained with Adam and Akash Bornstein from Radiant Light Yoga who firmly believed in the benefits of practising yoga and meditation daily. “If you look at self-discipline as self-love and nurturing, then looking after yourself takes on a whole different meaning. We can find twenty minutes to scroll through Facebook or post images on Instagram or do anything but meditate, sit still, or be quiet and attempt to still the mind,” Melissa says.

“When Kevin was diagnosed with cancer, the prognosis wasn’t good, the children were very young and I was starting up a business... but I never felt unsupported from a spiritual sense... I felt incredibly present and it enabled me to ask the right questions and be a very wise carer.”

“We integrated a holistic approach with his orthodox treatment. I really liked the Ian Gawler Foundation ethos, so I decided to learn a little bit more about the Mindfulness Based Stillness Meditation they shared.”

Melissa believes that her daily practise of yoga and meditation “makes everything seem a lot sweeter. You seem a lot more content with what you have rather than focusing on what you haven’t.”

“I’m eternally grateful to my teachers and to these practises that have been shared with me and I feel very strongly about sharing with others because they’ve been such a wonderful and profound experience in my daily life and also...helped to keep me well while I was helping to keep Kevin well and the family well.”

“I don’t deem myself a healer, it’s more about coming here, sharing practises that have worked for me... bringing balance back. I address how to do this in the courses that I run, taking a holistic approach.”

When I ask Melissa how she juggles being a mother, carer when Kevin was sick and running two businesses, she is adamant that she is not a superwoman.

“If you are trying for perfection, let it go. Something has to give. The idea of perfection in women creates an inferiority complex and that they’re not worthy.”

Melissa believes that we don’t often hear about the support network, for example: family support, or the cleaner, gardener or opting for take away food rather than wholesome home cooking, for other women who seem to be able to juggle it all. “What I have come to learn from my broad experience of working with different people... is that something has to give.”

“So for me modelling had to give and I was quite comfortable with that. I’d done years of it and it served me well and I was definitely moving more from the outer to the inner into a more meditative place.”

“My [business] partner, Wanita and I set up Piece of Me so that we were not in it every day. We shared the workload, so the shop for me was beautiful. ” Wanita and Melissa have both agreed that it’s time to move on and advertised the business for sale.

Melissa discusses how some people believe they work well under pressure but states, “I think a lot of people don’t realise... that’s not how we were meant to be. A lot of people have forgotten how to truly relax and just be. We are so conditioned to fill every minute and to glorify the fact that ‘I’m so busy, I’ve got so much going on’, because to most people – that is success.”

To Melissa, success is enjoying the moment, being with her family and sharing what she has learnt over the years about health, nutrition, yoga and meditation. Her ‘Being a Woman Workshop’ on June 8 is about teaching women healthy lifestyle choices to create overall wellbeing in body, mind and spirit. Melissa says, “It’s really simple but very profound...it’s about bringing life to your life.”

ROB CLARK:

Bringing Back th e Brush

by Dale Jacobsen

Walk along the High Street of any town or village, and you get the feel of the place. It is subtle, but the style of buildings, the produce sold and the signs advertising the businesses all play a part. In a world dominated by computer-generated sign-writing, Rob Clark feels he can make a difference by enhancing the village atmosphere that sets Maleny apart.

Above: Rob Clark Bringing Back the Brush Right: It takes a big commitment to really master the brush

R

OB CLARK came to sign-writing fresh out of school during the ‘70s, before computers took over the industry. He would arrive at work early to practice his brush skills. Unfortunately, all his employer wanted was a low-cost labourer.

“He told me, ‘forget about being a sign-writer Clarky, you haven’t got what it takes’. It was the best thing he could have said,” explains Rob. Two years into his apprenticeship, Rob found himself out on his own, taking with him a determination to prove he did have what it takes, and a set of brushes given to him by the original owner of the firm.

Years of needing to earn a living to support his family meant accepting change. “But following the trend into digital work quashed my creative instinct,” explained Rob. “Ninety-five per cent of work was computer generated, almost negating brushes. All signs ended up looking the same old same old.”

All that changed about three years ago when he saw a call from Queensland Rail for artists to create murals on metropolitan railway stations. The allimportant words jumped out at Rob. All work is to be done by brush!

10

HINTERLAND TIMES – JUNE 2014

Rob successfully applied for the position. Cleaning, preening, oiling and shaping his brushes made him realise how much he had missed them. He worked with 45 artists on the project, creating many murals including one of old Queenslanders at Wooloowin Station. At long last, Rob’s skills were again relevant, honoured and respected.

The best job was at Wacol Station. The brief called for the theme of Caring for Animals, through QR’s sponsorship of the RSPCA. Appropriately, Rob took over the old vet’s building at the top of Maple Street in Maleny where he and a team of local artists worked till they dropped for two months, creating panels, some as large as 12 metres x 3 metres.

“It was a huge mission to complete, and a big turning point for me,” says Rob. “The brush was alive in my hands again.”

And so Rob Clark Sign Art was born. His motto is Bringing Back the Brush. “I am a free spirit, and love to work with each client to achieve something unique and beautiful.” His first project in Maleny this year was the makeover of Maleny Butchery.

“It’s not just a case of writing a sign on a job like this,” explains Rob. “I look at the whole picture: the style of the building; the overall aesthetic , the nature of the business including perhaps the character of the owners so I reflect their love for their product or service, and how to maximise what I call The WOW factor. It is mostly intuitive.”

In the past 12 months, Rob has completed at least ten major signs in Maleny, (including Organic Bliss, Green Printery, Tastes of Africa, The Marketplace, Maleny Bakery and the very colourful sign for Paradise Furniture and Décor) with others lining up. At the time of writing, he is preparing for a very exciting project: the Upfront Club.

“I am hugely excited at the potential of this job. The building is positioned right in the middle of town, with an amazing aspect as you come up the street. It lends itself to powerful artwork, something different and new in town.”

By the time you read this article, this masterpiece will be well underway, sure to be the talk of the town.

Rob is very keen to pass on his skills to others, but as a mentor, not a boss. Rob says: “This trade can live on but it needs the right people with a passion for it. It takes a big commitment to really master the brush. There is a great appreciation for hand-crafted work up here on the Range, and that’s just one reason I love to call it home.”

Like so many local artists, Rob has more than one string to his bow. Over two years ago he was in need of support.

He hoped to find a men’s group where he could talk through what was going on for him, but didn’t find one and so began the Maleny Men’s Group.

He had previously undertaken a life-changing nineweek Common Ground programme run by Men’s Wellbeing (a non-religious volunteer association), which gave him the grounding he needed. “Our local Group has been a small success,” says Rob. “Over the time 30 or 40 men have passed through, many saying they really appreciated the support of other men.”

The men’s group is on hold for now while Rob supports the organisation of the 22nd annual Manshine Men’s Gathering at Ewen Maddock Dam in June. “I love and respect those at Men’s Wellbeing. They make a big difference in the lives of many men and boys, including mine, and now it’s good to give something back.”

As Rob picks up his brush to put finishing touches to the Paradise sign he is working on, he laughs: “Doing a sign can be fun, I often make it up as I go along and then I’ll step back and say, Ahaaa, so that’s what I was going to do!”.

H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y,

The UpFront Club is 20!

Maleny is famous for its cooperative culture, demonstrating what can happen when an idea has the power to inspire people and the people have the courage to listen to their hearts, follow their dreams and are willing to commit to putting in, usually a very large amount of effort, often years of sustained energy to create something, that is often, quite out of the box!

The idea of Maleny having an alternative to the Pub, was first seeded when I was an artist in residence at the small state school in Theodore.

Each Friday afternoon the teachers took me to the local pub. I was intrigued to learn, the owner of the pub had died and left it to the community, it was set up under a cooperative structure.

I was excited at the thought “We can do this in Maleny”. So when I got back, I told my friend, Billy Abbott, then we spoke to Jill Jordan and I could see the sparks of interest. We put the idea around and the seed germinated, with a bunch of people keen to explore the idea.

HINTERLAND TIMES – JUNE 2014

A

by Gay Liddington (with introduction by Veronica Davidson – Founding Member)

VISIT BY Maleny woman Jill Jordan and friends to the Hotel Theodore on Labour Day weekend 1993 percolated an idea.

A vision grew and the planning of a cooperative club for Maleny gained momentum. This year the Upfront Club celebrates its twentieth birthday.

In those early years there had been ongoing disquiet among members of the community who sought a meeting place other than the local pub. The vision was to create a place for families, youth, cultural activities and social interaction inclusive of the whole community.

On returning from Theodore armed with history of the Theodore Hotel Cooperative Association formed in 1949, an initial steering committee and small working parties were formed. This led to the foundation meeting on 9 May 1994. Fifty people signed the attendance book. It was at that meeting that the Maleny Cooperative Club Society Limited was birthed.

Also, at that initial meeting the subject of a name arose followed by a brainstorming session which carried forward to the opening night two months later. Names such as Bunya Club, Bunyip Club, Jovial Club, Hot Gossip, Trivias, Obi Club and Good Time Café were on the list.* Dale Lorna Jacobsen recollects, ‘I was on a 12-day Great Walk organised by the Queensland Folk Federation. Halfway through, Paul Lawler said he was going to Maleny to take part in a meeting to form a new club in town. Although I still lived in Brisbane, I had a block of land in Maleny, so asked if I could come too."

"Paul and I rolled up to a room so full of people many sat on the floor. Billy Abbot led the spirited discussion, part of which was to vote on the name. He read out a list that had been submitted, and someone yelled from the back of the room, "Why not call it the Upfront Club then we can have a restaurant behind which we can call the Outback Café!" That was it!

We then voted to christen it the Upfront Club, took out membership and became founding members.’

Ann Jupp, secretary of the cooperative for twelve years said, ‘From the onset, Maleny Kitchen in Maple Street was the preferred place for our club. It was because of its ambience and the fact that the proprietors were ready to sell.

It was serendipitous…it just all came together.’ Ann added that the support of landlord Ian McDonald made all the difference.

‘He was prepared to give us a ninety-nine year lease and reasonable rent. And, to this day Ian is still one of our greatest supporters visiting the club pretty much on a daily basis.’

The grand opening of the Club was on 1 July 1994. ‘How exciting it was. Everyone was so puffed up about the opening and having a place of our own. It was very upbeat, the room was buzzing! And I sat out front writing receipts for new memberships,’ recalls Ann. LETS (Local Energy Trading System) has been part of the Upfront Club since its beginnings. This cashless trading system to date has supported the club in various ways including maintenance and the purchase of items for the club. In turn the Upfront Club offers LETS members a coffee card and meals for ‘bunyas’ the trading unit for this area.

Another stalwart of the Upfront Club and one described as ‘a rock’ is Harry Whitehouse. Harry, one of the originals, was licensee for fourteen years. ‘I was attracted to the spirit of the thing. It cut across the staid, established mindset of the village at the time. And, as a result, we met a lot of opposition. Some were dead against it and did everything they could to stop us,’ said Harry.

When asked if this new club was seen by some as a hippie, drug culture club, Harry replied. ‘Yes! Well, that’s what they stigmatised us as but of course it was nothing of the sort. We were basically responsible people with a different point of view. And they couldn’t understand that. We eventually won some of them over and they became members. We were about having fun!’

Member Robin Clayfield recounted, ‘My most precious memory was walking away from the foundation meeting feeling honoured and thankful to have met Harry Whitehouse and feeling what a great initiative a Co-op Club was to draw in and connect people from all walks of life and all ages.’

Danny Rose, the Club’s Music Manager for the past eighteen years has also played an integral part in the development of this cooperative. Danny was there in the beginning sharing his musical talents at the opening of the club. ‘It was hard going in those days because we had to perform totally unplugged,’ he said.

As well as local acts, interstate and international artists have also had the pleasure of playing at the Upfront Club.

‘Nano Stern is a young Chilean artist of international note. His manager tracked us down and said he wanted Nano to play in places like the Club,’ said Danny.

The Upfront Club is a place where creativity and friendships thrive. Events such as theatre restaurant and fundraising auctions have made their mark. The Folk Club, Art Exhibition openings and Welcome Mat feature monthly and the 11.00am Coffee Club meets daily.

In the spirit of a cooperative the Upfront Club belongs to its members and stands as proof that when people get together with a common goal they achieve great things. The Club’s membership currently stands at around 700.

‘It was an experiment that succeeded in spite of financial difficulties. It was a worthwhile experiment and now it’s an integral part of the community. I am very pleased we are still here. That’s an achievement in itself…and long may it continue,’ said Harry Whitehouse beaming with pride.

For more information go to www.upfrontclub.org and www.facebook.com/TheUpfrontClub/ * Veronica Davidson told HT: "The suggestion of Feral Club, brought a roar of laughter, as the Maleny Folk Festival was being blamed for attracting “Ferals” by a lady who didn't like the festival."

You’re invited to a Garden Party

20 years later...

T

HE UPFRONT Club is still trading, holds Green Table Accreditation and has been recognised for its training program, community garden and environmental practices.

The UpFront Club is Queensland's only co-operative restaurant, owned by its members, and also provides a welcome venue to local musicians and artists to showcase their talent. The small stage in this homey space holds witness to many exquisite and impromptu music nights.

Great food and drink, art and entertainment are the hallmark of "The Club", with an emphasis on local, fresh and original (that goes for food, entertainment and art!)

Come for the food, the coffee and the atmosphere - linger a while to enjoy all the Club has to offer.

La Charente

by Bryan & Val Hughes Well known hinterland identities, Val and Bryan Hughes have left Maleny for a home swap in rural France. They tell us of their adventures...

Opposite: The guests gather, the tables are set, all ready to "manger" in the Salle de Fete, Passirac. Val's there in the centre.

Val about to tuck into an 'aillet", at the Brin d'Aillet luncheon.

Springtime and “The 7 hour Lunch” S

PRING, IT SEEMS, is the time for villagers to renew “the merry month of May” traditions.

Passirac is a typical small Charente commune, 257 inhabitants, and home to one of our new British friends.

Barbara, a live-wire very active in the community, advises that village life revolves around the Salle de Fete, or community hall. The village “Committee de Salle” coordinates the celebratory activities of the les Chasseurs (Hunters), les Randonnees (Walkers) and la Gym. Each year each group throws a banquet for the village and guests.

&

Barbara and husband Peter invited us to the “Banquet des Chasseurs” presented by the “Société de Chasse”, Passirac, on Samedi, 19 Avril 2014 at 12Hrs, at the Salle de Fetes. And what a banquet!

Having met at Barbara’s house at about 12.30 we walk to the Salle passing along the way a serious group of men gathered around a large aromatic and smoky barbeque. The mayor is busy, leaning from his office window, greeting all comers enthusiastically, advising “Pierre” here and “Charlotte” there not to eat too much, but he doesn’t

mention le vin though! Inside, Pete pushes his way through the merry throng to the bar to secure aperos for his group (cognac and soft drink, pre-mixed, powerful and delicious, Euro1.50).

After much greeting of friends, cheek kissing, chatter and aperos, 130-odd diners finally find their seats; its 1.30. Green and white napkins creatively folded into lotus flowers with a gold papered Easter Egg centre set off each place at the beautifully set trestle tables. The marathon meal begins!

A cognac based aperitif leads off, a “Potage” (chicken noodle soup) follows and now we are presented with a superb “Delice des Flots”(a thick slice of cooled pink Atlantic salmon, thick herbed mayonnaise piped on top and set off with just a light touch of green salad and half a boiled egg).

That’s just fine for starters. Let the banquet continue: •“Civet de Chevreuil” – the Chasse’s own venison, slowcooked in garlic, herbs and wine (of course) and then shredded and heaped on bread which one first rubs with cloves of garlic. Seriously good!

• “Coup du Milieu” – a citrus sorbet; • “Sanglier braise” – slices of the Chasse’s own wild boar, barbequed to smoky, juicy perfection. I take a second chop as the plate is enthusiastically passed around a second time.

But wait, there’s more: • “Roti de Boeuf” – slices of roast beef, crisp on the edges but still tender and red inside, served with haricots blanc in white sauce (here you may kiss the tips of the fingers, French chef style); • “Salade vert et fromage” – green salad and brie but I didn’t really need to translate that, did I; • And at last “Dessert” – strawberries and ice cream with a (you guessed it) cognac topping.

In between the courses, a “chook raffle” has been held. We of course buy tickets but although there are perhaps 40 prizes not one of our group wins a cigar, well, actually not cigars but potted red geraniums. Whereas, the other group at our table has collected enough geraniums to fill at least four Paris window boxes!

Did I mention the wine?

No? Let’s see…carafes of vin blanc and then vin rouge and some time during the repast vin rose appears also.

One in our group demonstrates rather a deft touch at garnering extra bottles as required from the passing volunteers…bravo Ian!!!

By the way, its now about 6.30 in the evening, but no one’s looking at the clock and that’s quite, quite OK. Delicious coffee is served, demi tasse style, accompanied, naturally, by après-dinner drinkies. Two members of the Chasse, bottles crooked in the elbows, look after our table.

One has the cognac (and soft drink filler…iiiffff asked for), his partner offers bubbles. They reach the end of the table and start back down again. Bravo!

Of course, this banquet is not at the total largess of our new very good friends, les chasseurs. No, no: one has to contribute a whole 20 euros to the Chasse coffers.

It’s a week later and, having by now recovered, dear Barbara has us at her nearby walking village of Rioux-Martin to participate in a traditional Charentaise “Brin d’Aillet”, a meal in celebration of garlic. The aillet is a sapling of immature garlic, 3 months old and 20 cm high. The bulb has not yet developed cloves and looks rather like a spring onion.

Quite sweet to eat.

Each place in the Salle is set with two aillets and bread. The first course is pate eaten with the bread which is first smeared with the aillets. The second course is garlic and cheese omelette, as much as one can eat. The trays of omelette just keep on coming out from the makeshift kitchen in the attached barn. A dressed green salad and cheese course follows while strawberries and ice cream finish this memorable luncheon, a mere three hours long.

By now in this little narrative, I’m sure I don’t have to mention the vino…the reader can safely assume a bountiful supply, and we do have Ian on hand to garner more as needed. Useful chap, is Ian! Wonderful atmosphere. Wonderful people.

Bon Appetit to all our friends.

Brides: clear your brain clutter

RE YOU LOOKING to relax before your wedding?

All the women would love a massage at your hen's party or you could enjoy a massage with your husband for your honeymoon.

HINTERLAND TIMES – JUNE 2014

These days, we all tend to do far too much brain work. The more we use our brains, the more likely our ki or energy will rise into our heads. If this is not balanced it can result in headaches, upper neck and shoulder pain, brain fog, and general fatigue. To balance this, we need to quieten our minds and allow time for our brains to be still.

Our “Escape” package is designed to do exactly that, quieten the mind and balance the body. We apply your choice of relaxation or deep tissue massage techniques to sooth the nerves and target areas of pain/tension. A dedicated face, scalp and neck massage relieves pressure & releases tension.

We treat the temples and fascia of the scalp, TMJ (jaw area) and apply lymphatic drainage to the face and neck to assist in removing fluid and toxins. Our botanical aromaceutical oils and hot towels add another level of sensory relaxation.

The experience is completed with reflexology to harmonise and balance the body and mind: the perfect way to clear brain clutter and rejuvenate the mind and soul.

Pre and Post Wedding Gatherings – how to make them special

by Pomodoras on Obi

A

BEAUTIFUL trend has emerged as couples break free of the traditional wedding ‘rules’ and create their own unique celebrations. Borrowing from different cultures where weddings are celebrated over several days, there’s been a rise in pre and post wedding gatherings.

These meal-centred events give the bridal couple the opportunity to connect in a more relaxed way with friends and family or even invite people who may not be attending the wedding.

These can include breakfasts, lunches or dinners, with brunches and high teas gaining popularity. The main focus is on connecting, relaxing and either anticipating the forthcoming wedding or celebrating after the event. Often, personal stories are shared and the guests are more willing to open up around a small group.

At Pomodoras on Obi in Maleny, the restaurant caters to small or large groups and offers a stunning view over the ever flowing Obi Obi Creek. The bridal party can also prepare for the big day or unwind afterwards in the beautifully appointed cabins. If it’s a small group, catering can be arranged in the rooms so all can enjoy a more private party!

As the Hinterland is blessed with a myriad of performing artists. The couple may decide to hire a guitarist to play romantic love songs, a chamber music trio to bring a touch of class or a magician for something a little different. They might sit for a caricature or if the group stays in the cabins, then how about a a foot massage or tarot reading for guests?

The gardens at Pomodoras lend themselves perfectly to a

wedding themed treasure hunt or if a fine day vintage style with garden games & canapés served out on the lawn. Guests might even be lucky enough to spot a platypus.

Some bridal couples create a themed event where guests are invited to dress-up, or dress down, or dress as a special character. The couple might choose to arrive on a trike, be canoed up the creek or ride in on horseback!

The ideas are only limited by your imagination.

Of course, with all the stress on the wedding day, most couples choose a far more simple option of a laid-back meal surrounded by their nearest and dearest.

Whichever way you decide to go, make your pre or post wedding occasion one that you’ll remember as fondly as the big day itself. Enjoy!!

Iconic scenes for Your Wedding T

HE "WEDDING TREE" or "One Tree Hill" (pictured right) as it has been dubbed by photographers , is a popular spot for wedding photos on Mountain View Road. It has become and icon of the Hinterland wedding scene, and many couples from as far as Brisbane and Maryborough request photographs there.

Photographer Marion Jonkers says, "Quite a few photographers come up from Brisbane photographers to go there too. Often on a Saturday afternoon you will see a line up of limousines and fancy wedding cars as bridal parties wait their turn."

"It is much published through photos in wedding magazines and couples travel to this spot especially for some romantic photos, particularly on sunset when the light is just perfect."

Local photographers know the etiquette- close the gate behind you! Our hinterland photographers also know the most beautiful spots to capture Bride and Groom. From quaint churches, farming backdrops and beautiful national parks to Montville's phone box, they will capture the memories of your special day.

The Wedding Tree Couple P

HOTOGRAPHED by Marion Jonkers, Shane and Natalie were recently married at Maleny Manor.

The couple had one hundred guests including many from interstate, as Natalie's family live in Tasmania. For many it was their first visit to the Sunshine Coast and they all stayed in the hinterland for the weekend.

Shane and Natalie live in Brisbane but were taken back by the relaxed charm and beauty of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland which is why they chose it as the destination for their wedding.

The couple honeymooned at Spicers on Clovelly and said they loved it there so much they didn't want to leave.

The two wedding cars were Monaros that had been in Shane's family for decades. Service providers for their wedding were Marion Jonkers Photograpy, Mondo Floral Designs, Natalie Hunter Makeup artist, Hair by Nicola Daly of Hair by Nicola and Natalie's gown is from the White Lily Couture Collection.

They were married by a Defence Forces Chaplin and had ten people in their bridal party, including a page boy and flower girl.

Dying without a Will What happems?

In the last two issues of Hinterland Times I have been discussing the requirements of a valid Will. I thought it would be a good opportunity to continue the train of thought with what could happen should you die without a valid will. If a person dies without a valid Will, that person is said to have died “intestate”.

Dying without a valid will or ‘intestate’ can be very detrimental to your loved ones and also very expensive.

Not only have you given away your ability to decide how your estate is to be distributed and to whom but you also run the risk of the costs of administering your estate increasing drastically and your estate being distributed to unintended beneficiaries. One example of an unintended beneficiary is an estranged spouse from whom the deceased was not formally divorced. That estranged spouse will share in the deceased’s estate under the Queensland intestacy rules despite the deceased and the estranged spouse not being in a relationship at the time of death.

The Succession Act sets out the rules to be applied in situations of intestacy. Here are some examples: • If you are married/de facto with no children, your spouse takes 100%; • If you are married/de facto with one child your spouse takes the first $150,000.00 plus the household contents. Assets after this are divided equally between the spouse and the child • If you are married/de facto with two or more children your spouse takes the first $150,000.00 plus the household contents. Assets after this are divided 1/3 for the spouse and 2/3 equally between the children.

In situations where you do not have any close relatives the rules provide that your estate must go to relatives that are further removed from you.

Another problem with dying intestate is the need for court approval for the appointment of someone to administer your estate. In a will you would appoint an executor of your choice. However with an intestacy, your loved ones would have to apply to the Supreme Court for an administrator to be appointed. In the absence of a suitable person the Supreme Court may appoint the Public Trustee.

Change is in the Air

OW TIME FLIES. It’s been 4 years since my first article for the Hinterland Times and in that time we’ve covered a whole range of ecological restoration topics, hopefully in an accessible, sometimes controversial and even humorous way. Feedback is generally great and that makes my day, but occasionally one stirs up the hornets’ nest ... and that makes my day too!

As a paid column I should probably be putting in lots of subtle (tree guards on special now – buy, buy, buy!!!), and not so subtle links (Best Native Plants on the Planet!!!!) to our products and services so as to make it worth our while, but for me I enjoy the opportunity to take you on a journey of my latest ecological vignette whether it be about seeds, trees, weeds, views, carbon, water, fauna etc...

Talking about vignette’s, we are fortunate at the moment to have a resident Koala on our block (his name is Keef, one of my daughters assures me). He’s taken up residence in a twenty year old revegetation patch and enjoying the Flooded Gums (Eucalyptus grandis) and somebody forget to tell him that Forest She Oak (Allocasuarina litoralis) isn’t koala habitat because he likes sitting in them also. Surprisingly we didn’t become aware of our resident koala by spotting him in a tree, but by the strong aroma of his presence (a bit like the

smell of a horse stable that’s just been mopped out with Eucalypt oil!) Keef is welcome to stay as long as he’d like and even invite a few friends. He looks robustly healthy which is great, as Chlamydia (an infectious disease) is widespread and a serious threat to Koalas in SE QLD. The opportunity to educate and inspire is at the core of our vision for Brush Turkey Enterprises. A vision that has grown over the last 16 years from a team of 1 to a team of 16 local people earning a living in a career that contributes to positive change on our little planet each and every day. Because even though we get up every day with a passion for restoring and growing our native ecosystems and living within our environment, it’s a drop in the ocean. My thanks goes out to the wider community of bush regenerators, farmers, educators, professionals and in particular landholders, who are also passionate and committed to restoring and growing our native ecosystems, you are amazing!

Enjoy the winter, enjoy the change of season, plant some trees for Keef and his mates (and for the sake of the trees themselves) and just as importantly for the sake of your grand children!

Cheers Spencer

Soils...

OILS MATTER, is a common statement and was the title of a previous Barung article. Throughout our region soils vary a lot, the natural result of our geological history.

An understanding of your local soil is useful when preparing the ground for planting trees. Some residents and contractors dig the holes, put down mulch and wait while the mulch breaks down, adding essential organic matter to the soil. Organic material improves soil structure and encourages the growth of soil microorganisms. These microorganisms, particularly fungi, are often involved in supplying nutrients to the plants, which in return supply nutrients to the fungi.

Many of the heavy cracking clay soils along the eastern escarpment of the Range are described as self-mulching, meaning that as they wet and dry during successive periods of wet and dry weather, they progressively break down. Large, heavy clods break into

S

smaller clods and finally become friable soil. The message here is, predig your planting holes (get someone else to do it for you if possible!) and wait. It later becomes very easy to re-dig the hole and plant your tree.

If you have access to a tractor with a single tyne ripper, ripping planting lines produces a similar result. Lines on the contour trap moisture as it moves down the slope. If slopes are too steep for machinery to move safely across them, ripping up and down is also satisfactory. It has been suggested that roots will stay in the lines, following the water flow, but they don’t seem to do so in the cracking clay soils.

Take advantage of long dry periods to do that early preparation and in as little as 6-8 weeks, those big clods could have broken down. When there has been enough rain to justify planting, the trees will get a really good start. It’s well worth a try.

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.

Nicola – Top 5 in Australia M

ALENY CRUISE and Travel have always been known to be a bespoke retailer in travel – providing unbiased advice and exceptional service. They are excited to announce that Nicola Rowlingson has been voted as one of the top five finalists in Australia for the Australian Federation of Travel Agents award for Best Retail Consultant of the year.

"We are now awaiting with bated breath for the announcement on 19 July at the AFTA National Travel Industry Awards Finalist Dinner in Sydney. A contingent of eight from Maleny will be attending this travel industry event of the year," says Gillian Mills, Manager of Maleny Cruise & Travel.

HT wishes you the best of luck, Nicola.

The Malone family outside their new business

S

ANDY AND HARRY Malone heard Maleny’s call from Alice Springs. They sold up everything last year to take advantage of the combination of beach, bush and city.

The change would be thought of as a big deal for most people – three girls and two boys to look after, a new place to settle into and a fresh business venture. But Sandy says ‘Who wouldn’t want to live in such a beautiful place?’

The family are kept busy with their children's activities. The two youngest are at the Goodstart childcare centre, the boys play soccer for Maleny Rangers and Mack – the middle child – has just joined the navy cadets. Celia, the oldest at 17, is studying childcare through Maleny High School. The children all love day trips and the occasional fishing trip (not that anyone has landed much yet!).

The pace and variety of life this family has embraced is matched by their range of products they bring to the hinterland. Stepping inside the door of Paradise Furniture & Decor is an amazing experience; the shop is jam packed with unique home wares.

‘We have a real passion for Balinese tropical gardens and decor,’ Sandy says. ‘We import mostly from Indonesia so we can keep our prices very affordable. We’ve been told they are lower than down the coast!’

Sandy and Harry are selective about their ordering. ‘We don’t order too much of the same thing, so we maintain a diverse range. And if there is something a customer particularly wants we will do our best to order it for them.’

Paradise Furniture & Decor has life-sized baby zebra statues, wooden island benches, garden lanterns, buffets, Buddha figurines, bar stools, urns, shelving, mosaic platters and heaps more.

The shop is open from Wednesday to Sunday at 2/12 Bunya St, and they offer gift wrapping, lay-bys, gift vouchers and even a gift registry service for weddings and special occasions.

Now people can ask, ‘What do a baby zebra and a lantern have in common?’ And the answer is: Paradise in Maleny!

Maleny Community Precinct:

Land of Opportunity Council have reassured HT that all is on track for the Precinct, and that outcomes are positive for the sectors involved. Council met with tourism and business groups onsite last month, and was heartened to hear that this community asset has the potential to provide economic benefit to Maleny and the Sunshine Coast. As an eco-tourism destination, it adds even further appeal to the region.

Maleny District Sport & Recreation Club provided HT with this latest update.

“T

HE REAL MAGIC about the Maleny Community Precinct is the opportunity it presents to benefit so many. It’s a good story, with plenty to be excited about”. So says Greg Williams, president of Maleny District Sport and Recreation Club, an umbrella organization that promotes a wide variety of sport and recreation facilities in Maleny. Greg reckons the bigger picture about what’s really happening never gets an airing.

“The two former dairy farms that for 90 years saw cattle roaming kikuyu pastures, are now owned by Sunshine Coast Council, and have been rezoned in the 2014 Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme as ‘outdoors sport and recreation’. This reflects the intent of Council when it purchased the land.

Plans are reaching finalisation with Council for MDSRC to place mixed equestrian facilities onto an area set aside for sport and recreation” says Greg. “MDSRC wholeheartedly

Thinking of building or developing on the Coast?

Thinking of building or developing on the Coast?

The Sunshine Coast has a new planning scheme:

supports environmental protection. There is room for all activities”.

MDSRC’s Mike Norman has liaised for several years with Council and the Precinct Advisory Group (PAG), the body created by Council for the purpose. He talks of the complex Master Planning process, and the necessity for flexibility under changing economic situations.

“It’s been a forward planning exercise, responding to vastly reduced funds. MDSRC long ago conducted an holistic reexamination of the sporting facilities and needs of Maleny and Witta. Maleny Showgrounds, schools, Witta Rec grounds and the MCP collectively provide facilities. Seventeen soccer teams, for example, share facilities at the Showgrounds with Maleny’s equestrian groups, cricket, Maleny Show and others."

"Tennis, touch and rugby share at Witta, and the schools accommodate league, athletics, netball and cricket. Our plans for the MCP take the heat off other critical areas, whilst providing for future growth. There is a much greater understanding of how sporting groups can effectively work with each other.”

MDSRC lodged a self-funded Equestrian Business Plan for their allotted area with Council in 2012. “We’re looking forward to the transition,” said Regine Deubner of Maleny’s 5th Light Horse Troop, proudly one of Australia’s largest – just one of seven equestrian groups able to access the facilities.

“The new field has the room to perform our drills that we just don’t have elsewhere”.

Historically, Maleny’s volunteer groups have worked tirelessly – raising funds and applying for grants to secure dozens of facilities – and continue, with widespread support from MDSRC’s 47 member clubs.

“There’s work for Council to do” says Mike “especially for development of the Showgrounds and Witta Rec Club. The provision of facilities across all available grounds, sensibly integrated with the environment, is a vision to be achieved by all. ” Shortfalls in recreational space have been a key factor in determining MDSRC’s Precinct plans. Spending thousands of hours over the past six years progressing an agreed Master Planning process, they work hard with Council and stakeholders for optimum outcomes.

“Understandably, nothing moves forward on a big project without consensus. Our plans have been agreed to by all, including the green groups. Our pragmatic approach to our leased area allows for the expansion of soccer at the Showgrounds, and equestrian activities can move in stages onto the Precinct when suitable,” he explained. MDSRC hasn’t slowed down whilst waiting, assisting member clubs by providing planning and support to fund new table-tennis, athletics and football facilities.

Sporting and recreational events typically generate visitors, boosting the town’s economy. MDSRC works closely with business and tourism bodies. “Maleny is already a destination town. We have the additional draw-card of the golf course, now well under way, and the Precinct has successfully hosted a major athletics event for 2 years.

Participant feedback is excellent – it was described last month as the best course on the Sunshine Coast.

Business benefits from soccer, swimming, equestrian, judo and athletics carnivals – all have the ability to grow with better facilities,” said Greg.

“We are currently working with the Sunshine Coast Cross Country Committee, to bid for the Precinct to host an upcoming national series”.

“We’re totally focused on working with Council to deliver results.

The entire PAG has constantly urged Council to have some of the walking trails opened to the public immediately – even if they are of a temporary nature. Their provision would open up the Precinct for everyone to enjoy."

"We’re looking forward to the day when people from all walks of life will enjoy a variety of healthy outdoor activities on the Precinct.

The Maleny Precinct, so close to schools and the township, is an absolute treasure, and one to be enjoyed by the entire community.”

IN BRIEF: Hinterland secures RADF funds Projects on the Sunshine Coast will come alive as part of one of the State’s most active arts programs, announced Community Programs Portfolio Councillor Jenny McKay. “The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is a partnership between the Queensland Government and regional councils, and the latest round of Sunshine Coast Council grants includes more than $90,000 in funding for 16 projects,” Cr McKay said.

FACES OF THE images and words by Sandra Conte

Show

Rural Ambassador of the Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show is Jane Lillingstone who took out the Maleny Showgirl title in 2013 and went on to win the regional competition. Jane has been appointed to the Rural Ambassador role to support and advocate for young people wishing to become involved; if you see Jane say “Hello” and feel free to discuss how you might get involved especially given the 110th Show anniversary is taking place in 2015.

There are five Show Girl/Princess entrants, Taylor Pascoe, Eby Drinkwater, Leah Ehrenberg, Kiara Clark and Alana Marcon, an important part of the youthful input to the event.

See the girls at the awards ceremony on Friday June 13, 6pm at the Nambour Showground Main Arena where there will also be a high profile personality opening the event.

Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show tickets are highly affordable and have not changed in price for several years; if you’re keen to save even more, pre-purchase tickets now from any Heritage Bank across the Sunshine Coast region or ring the Show Office on 5441 2492.

Once you’re in the gate there is exciting free in-show entertainment every night from a Fireworks Friday to Stadium Sky Show Spectacular Saturday and a Monster Truck record attempt on the Sunday evening.

H

OT ON THE HEELS of the Maleny Show is the Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show at the Nambour Showgrounds, running June 13,14

and 15.

Billed as the Sunshine Coast’s biggest show, like Rome, the program doesn’t get built in a day with people of all ages already preparing to make it happen.

Here’s a glimpse of the contributors from the climes of the hinterland to the kitchens of the coast and they’re appealing to you to show your face at the family-friendly, fun, affordable event.

Show Cookery Steward, Beverley Bradford from the Obi Obi has been actively encouraging kids across the region to start their beaters and compete in the cooking section. Beverley said, “As a Show Steward, I naturally have a passion for cooking and can’t go past kids in the kitchen wanting to become part of this fabulous event.

Once you get started, you’ll be hooked."

"I recently popped into a Stephanie Alexander School Kitchen at the invitation of their instructor Maree Pepper and watched on as the children prepared their best first effort at jam drops. I’d encourage every school across the coast to go to the website and have a go at the categories in the cooking section to make it as exciting as Junior Master Chef or MKR”.

Captain Pillager will be appearing on the streets of the Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show along with other personalities. The Pirate is the alter ego of performance artist Neil Bidner of Mt Mellum who has provided entertainment for seven such Shows.

The Captain has a message for show goers “Arrrr, Ahoy ... it's Captain Pillager, sea-faring scoundrel, in fact I’m the scurviest of all the sea dogs. Pillaging and plundering isn't what it used to be so if you’re thinking about farming the high seas like me, come and get a few ideas about farming at the show. I’m looking for a new crew or at least some seafaring strangers to trade in adventures tales. Come Say ‘Ahoy’ me hearties.“

A passion for music!

S

OME PEOPLE love something so much that they never tire of it. Local resident, Evalee Sharples adores music and singing so much that she belongs to two musical groups – the Maleny Singers here on the range and the Oriana Choir down on the coast.

Evalee and her husband Mark only moved to Maleny from Caloundra a couple of years ago to be closer to their daughter and her family. Music is obviously in the blood, since daughter Lisa runs the bDifferent Dance Academy here in town, and Evalee has often been involved in sewing costumes for their concerts.

Evalee’s lovely soprano voice has brought to life such roles as Adele in last year’s Die Fledermaus by the Maleny Singers, as well as many G&S heroines such as Yum Yum in The Mikado, Casilda in The Gondoliers and the eponymous Princess Ida, and now the central character of Mabel in Pirates.

This role demands a very good soprano, the reason why Artistic Director, Margaret Taylor has saved Pirates until now. After Evalee’s performance as Adele, Margaret knew she had her Mabel, and with local tenor Colin Dunn as Frederic, the central couple of characters was cast.

One of the most popular of Gilbert and Sullivan’s operettas, Pirates has a comical, but conniving MajorGeneral, played by Phil Simmons, a noisy band of pirates led by their Pirate King, Eddie Weir, and a rather reluctant posse of policemen, marshalled by a philosophical Sergeant, played by Ian McMaster. As well, The Pirates of Penzance has a convoluted storyline, typical of Gilbert’s work and a wonderful array of rousing choruses, clever trios and poignant solos from the pen of Sullivan.

If you love good music and enjoy a good laugh, come to the Maleny Community Centre and join the Maleny Singers as they set sail on their piratical adventure, accompanied by the Maleny Performing Arts Orchestra, conducted by Margaret Taylor. The season covers the last two weekends in June, opening on Saturday 21 at 6.30pm. Tickets are

THE BUDGET:

Five stages of grief T

HE ONE CERTAIN THING about Tony Abbott’s first budget is that it has produced a lot of unhappiness, and not only among his political opponents; many of his supporters have been weeping quietly in their electorate offices, and among the public at large there has been general wailing and lamentation.

So it is entirely appropriate that Abbott is taking methodical approach to dealing with the outbreak of grief; he is apparently working his way through its five stages, as identified by the Swiss-American psychiatrist, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross.

Fortunately for our Prime Minister, the first of these is a response at which he is both practised and accomplished: denial. Having summarily dismissed the science of climate change as “crap,” he had no trouble in declaring that his own unequivocal and welldocumented election promises were equally irrelevant: what mattered was his commitment to tackle Labor’s debt and deficit crisis and bring the budget back to surplus.

When it was pointed out that there was no immediate crisis, and even if there had been, Joe Hockey’s manifesto did nothing urgent about it, Abbott continued to reject reality. But of course this did not work – as Kubler-Ross has shown, it never does. So on to stage two: anger. Face down the outrage of the electorate with outrage (confected or real, it doesn't matter) of his own.

Abbott waxed indignant: the media, the public, the AMA, the AIG, and even members of his own party were obviously too thick to appreciate the underlying wonder and beauty of his concoction. They wanted to wake up and confront reality: sure, there may be some short term pain, but when he smoke haze lifted and the rubble was cleared away, a glorious future awaited: a medical research fund, more roads, and above all tax cuts.

And if people didn’t embrace that new and glittering promise, then that was their own damn fault. They could take the nasty medicine, or after the next election he would dish up a real sh*t sandwich. No more Mr. Nice Guy. But once again there was less than universal rejoicing (except, inevitably, in the columns of he Murdoch press).

And worse, emboldened by the opinion polls which showed the budget to be about as popular as cholera

and Abbott rather less so, the political opposition hardened its stance. The recalcitrance of Labor and the Greens was both expected and, to an extent, even welcomed: if a scapegoat was needed, they were the obvious choices for the role.

But the crossbenchers were another proposition entirely. Abbott had hoped that the incoming rag bag of senators would be, on the whole, sympathetic; after all, apart from the ever enigmatic Nick Xenophon, they all claimed to represent parties stationed on the right of politics, some vey close to the lunatic fringes – soul mates, in fact. And since they seemed ready, and in most cases eager, to embrace the abolition of he carbon and mining taxes, the recycling of the inquisition into the building industry and the restructuring of Fair Work Australia so that it is more work and less fair, Abbott figured that they would come to the party on rest of his merciless agenda.

"Any progress appears unlikely unless and until Abbott overcomes his obvious dislike of the flamboyant billionaire supremo and opens up serious negotiations."

But it has proved not to be so: his furious demands left them unimpressed and unmoved. So, somewhat reluctantly, Abbott has moved on to stage three: bargaining. Last week he met – or at least planned to meet – three of the new boys who will take their seats next month: Bob Day from Family First, John Madigan of the DLP and David Leyonhjelm of the Liberal Democrats.

The best that can be said of the duologues was that there were no reports of physical violence, but there was not a lot of mutual hugging either. Day and Madigan are both on record as being concerned about

the impact of budget measures on families; Leyonhjelm wants to abolish welfare altogether and replace it with tax cuts.

But the real problem is that even if Abbott can lure all three on side, and rope in Xenophon as well, he still needs at least two more votes. And the only place to procures these is from the well guarded compound of Clive Palmer. Abbott made his first, and obvious move: try and wedge off what looked like the weakest link, Ricky Muir of the Australian Motoring Enthusiasts Party.

Shortly after being elected as senator with a primary vote of just 0.51 percent, Muir formed an alliance with the Palmer United Party, although it has never been entirely clear just how tight this alliance is. Abbott obviously thought it was flexible and invited Muir to a meeting.

Muir, a Gippsland sawmiller, declined: he was busy trying to feed his family, he said, and would come to Canberra when he was paid to-do so and not before.

Madigan suggested Abbott should go to Gippsland to talk to him, but the mountain remained unmoved.

The other three PUP senators have also refused to meet: Palmer says they won’t talk until Abbott grants them more staff. And even then the outcome might be, well, problematic.

The two who have submitted themselves to an interview with the 7.30 Report’s Sarah Ferguson, Jackie Lambie from Tasmania and Dio Wang from Western Australia, seem at best unpredictable; the third, Queensland’s Glenn Lazarus, The Brick with Eyes, has opted to let his bulk answer the questions, as it did on the Rugby League grounds.

Any progress appears unlikely unless and until Abbott overcomes his obvious dislike of the flamboyant billionaire supremo and opens up serious negotiations.

If and when he does so, it may or may not be a circuit breaker; it will certainly be a show stopper. In the meantime, Abbott has little option but to move on to stage four: depression.

If the business and consumer confidence surveys offer any guidance, this appears a possible outcome for the economy, of not for our always resilient leader. And if that doesn’t bring the voters to their senses, there is always the final stage: acceptance. But just who will be accepting what, and who will be doing the grieving, we probably won’t know until the next election in 2016.

HINTERLAND TIMES – JUNE 2014

Community News Community News Community News Create and Chill at Messy Church Messy Church has a model of ‘Welcome, Celebrating, Creating, and Chilling’.

The concept began in England in 2004 and late last year at St George’s at Maleny, after many months of planning, gathering and training a team of leaders.

Those who have come to Messy Church in Maleny have shared the fact they have found that it is a valuable time to relax and enjoy creative fun and then share with others a meal prepared by the team, as a ‘family’ in similar situations! Parents and grandparents are encouraged to assist and join in the prepared activities for each session.

Many of the participants have come with friends – finding that the programme is of value - and then the next month they may bring other friends and their parents!

Join in the fun and family time together on the first Sunday of the Month, 4-6pm at St George’s Anglican Church, 2 Walker Drive, Maleny (gold coin/donation appreciated).

A new lease on life for Montville Tennis Club

The Soundwaves at Hotel Maleny

The godshow in Witta

The Sound Waves are a Sunshine Coast based duo who play classic rock, 60-90s pop and rhythm and blues.

Jason and Carl Lindeman developed as musicians while performing classics from past masters over the last few decades. The sound though, is their own, and far from being restricted to one genre or style, encompasses sweet vocal harmonies to goose-bump inducing guitar improvisation.

This is the experience they aim for – not just background noise, they do not just aim to merely ‘cover’ a song, but to present it in a unique and innovative way that still respects the intent of the original artist.

See them June 8, 1-4pm at Hotel Maleny.

Helmets to stay, rego no way A

NEW CAMPAIGN to drive behavioural change on our roads has not yet been developed, despite introduction of new cycle laws last April.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Scott Emerson said it is scheduled to be launched later in the year.

Representatives from cycling group, Maleny Lycra Lizards said, "We think it would be fair to say that both cyclists and motorists were expecting that the Queensland Government would mount a strong education campaign around the new cycling road rules prior to the introduction of the trial. It has been very disappointing that this has not happened."

They urge Mr Emerson to work with Bicycle Queensland to develop a powerful and well targeted education campaign, "It is very clear that many motorists who don't cycle themselves or don't know any cyclists continue to go about their busy lives without much awareness about the new rules or how they might impact upon them."

"Cyclists continue to experience dangerous situations often involving vehicles travelling dangerously close to them. The evidence shows that there needs to be clear

vrksa

44

HINTERLAND TIMES – JUNE 2014

and consistent education, well targeted to all road users, including the drivers of buses and heavy vehicles, if behaviour is to change."

Helmet laws will stay in place and no bicycle registration will be required as part of the Queensland Government response to the cycling inquiry.

Mr Emerson said he would table the final response detailing support for 50 out 68 recommendations from the Transport, Housing and Local Government Committee’s Inquiry into cycling.

“The recommendations we support demonstrate our strong plan for a brighter future and align with our promise to improve safety for cyclists on our road,” Mr Emerson said.

“Unlike the previous Labor government we promised to do more, particularly given last year there were 13 cyclists who tragically died on our roads, almost double the number of fatalities compared to five years ago.

“The government also supports the committee’s recommendation not to introduce registration for bicycles as the fee would likely deter people from cycling.

“It would also be inconsistent with other jurisdictions in Australia given no other state or territory currently registers bicycles or requires them to have a number plate.

“A recommendation we did not support was to allow a ‘rolling stop’ rule whereby cyclists could treat a stop sign or red light, like a give way sign.

“Not only could this lead to serious injury, we could not

Maleny Lycra Lizards applaud the government's decision to reject bicycle registration (event fundraising for Destiny Rescue)

support a rule that would see inconsistencies between what motorists and cyclists were allowed to do at a stop sign or red light.”

Mr Emerson implemented nine recommendations from the inquiry last month including a two year trial of the one metre rule and bringing fines for cyclists into line with motorists.

Maleny Lycra Lizards representatives stated, "Most cyclists would applaud the decision to reject the idea of bicycle registration. It is only fair, however, that penalties for cyclists and motorists be closely aligned."

"Australia hasn't developed around a cycling culture like many European countries, and it's unlikely that public funding will ever support ideal conditions for cyclists.

The only solution, then, if we are to keep cyclists safe, is strong legislation, effective and continuing public education and the fostering of a good measure of understanding and tolerance on our roads."

"It is vital that all levels of government take their responsibilities seriously in this area. Our roads must be shared. All road users need to learn to use restraint and practise respect."

Prevent Australia’s second biggest cancer killer A

USTRALIANS DIAGNOSED with bowel cancer feel like they have the ‘wrong cancer’ due to a lack of support and poor awareness so Bowel Cancer Australia is asking people to step up to the challenge with local action against our #2 cancer killer.

According to the findings of a national patient survey released to mark the start of Bowel Cancer Awareness Month (1-30 June), more than four out of five (81%) bowel cancer patients felt the general public didn’t understand their cancer.

Bowel Cancer Australia chief executive Julien Wiggins said awareness and support services for bowel cancer patients were inadequate considering the heavy burden of the disease – 1 in 12 people will be affected in their lifetime.

“Arguably, the biggest issue in the battle against bowel cancer is silence. Bowel cancer kills the conversation and sadly it kills many Australians too. So, we’re asking people in local communities to take action to help raise awareness of bowel cancer and if it’s something that has affected you, to let people know.”

“Bowel cancer is largely preventable and treatable but it’s hard to protect yourself against a cancer that no one is

talking about. People don’t hear much about bowel cancer despite almost 15,000 Australians being diagnosed with it every year,” he added.

“Simple changes to diet and physical activity can reduce the incidence of bowel cancer by up to 75 per cent. For example, cutting back red meat intake to 500g per week and avoiding processed meats can help reduce bowel cancer risk,” Mr Wiggins said.

“Importantly, if you have any suspicious symptoms such as blood in the bowel movement, a persistent change in bowel habit, unexplained weight loss or severe abdominal pain, see your doctor. Don’t delay.”

Mr Wiggins said people could also access bowel cancer screening tests through their GP or pharmacy. “Studies have shown that screening every 1-2 years can reduce your risk of dying from bowel cancer.“ A Faecal Occult Blood Test is simple and can be done in your own home.

Dr Phil Marshall from Maleny Medical Centre explains that faecal blood is not always visible, "Occult simply means hidden or unknown. The test checks stools for any blood in the motions."

Parent volunteers wanted D

o you have a passion for making a difference and giving back to your community? Are you interested in supporting families and enhancing family well

being?

Nambour Good Beginnings is recruiting new Community Parent volunteers to work alongside families in the community who are in need of support, connections & a pseudo extended family member If you are looking to make a difference in the lives of parents and children, prepared to undergo ongoing training and be a part of a wonderful team of dedicated Volunteer Community Parents, then Nambour Good Beginnings wants YOU! Based at the Nambour Community Centre, Good Beginnings is a home visiting and parenting support

program where volunteers visit families on a weekly basis offering support and encouragement in parenting issues.

Ali from Good Beginnings said, "Our program covers the Blackall range to Montville, back over the Obi valley to Kenilworth, and also Nambour surrounds including Woombye and Palmwoods. We offer a range of group activities that aim to build social connections, peer supports and opportunities to model positive parenting.

We also work with families who are experiencing complex issues, often in family homes.

Volunteers need to be willing to offer 2 – 4 hours each week. In return volunteers gain new skills, friendships and a sense of achievement.

More information: call 54 764 933 or email nambourgb@flexinet.com.au

"People get the idea that you should be able to see blood in your motions, even when they do they assume it is from a haemorrhoid. If you have any indication - check it out."

"If there is any blood, go and get a colonoscopy. A screening colonoscopy is also important for anyone with a family history. If your own children have bowel cancer, it is essential you have a colonoscopy."

Bowel Cancer Awareness Month runs throughout June.

Ayurvedic Health Advice to Suit You

FEELING SORE AND ACHY… HERE’S WHY Musculo-skeletal discomfort can present in a lot of different ways, so ask yourself, do you have any of the following symptoms?

•ongoing low back pain • soreness in any extremity joints eg knee, hip, elbow • ongoing neck ache • muscles feel tight – lack of flexibility • general body ache upon arising which improves with a warm shower and movement • not as energised as you would like to be • any signs of early arthritis.

All of the above physical symptoms including the lethargy, are signs that indicate that not only do you have some ongoing structural imbalances but also, these symptoms are very much indicative that your system has become too acidic. When this happens the body tries to counter the acidity by mobilizing calcium which it gets from your bones. The calcium in solution (the blood) gets into joints, the spine and muscles. The build up of these calcium crystals is the beginning of osteo-arthritis. This is NOT what you want happening in your body.

My chiropractic/applied kinesiology approach allows me to not only diagnose and fix the structural imbalances but also to correct the systemic acidity.

Don’t let your body go down the acidic pathway.

I’m here to help, so if you have any questions, please give ma a call and we can talk.

Beating the Winter Blues

W

INTER IS PREDOMINANTLY Vata in nature and we experience a rise in the light, cold, irregular, Wendy Rosenfeldt dry qualities of Vata. The increase of Vata in the environment creates changes in our mind and body.

We tend to find our hair and skin becomes drier, we may feel more stiffness in the joints and experience irregularity in digestion. The airiness of Vata can also make us feel spaced out, forgetful or anxious.

The light, irregular, dryness of Vata can make us crave heavy, sweet, unctuous food. We may gravitate towards pizza and chocolate. We may try and pacify our Vata by hibernating under the doona or staying indoors next to the heater. While this may temporarily soothe the spaciness of Vata. Eating too much heavy food and not getting enough exercise can cause heaviness and lethargy in the mind and body making us feel unmotivated and even depressed. Not balancing Vata properly can cause an imbalance in Kapha dosha.

Kapha is opposite to Vata in every way except they share the quality of being cold. Kapha is heavy, damp, oily and stable. In the physiology Kapha governs all structure, lubrication and cohesion. When out of balance in the mind and body it can give rise to lethargy, depression, weight gain, congestion, excess oil in the hair and skin and growths of any kind.

To balance Vata during winter, it is important to listen to our cravings for warmth, heavier foods and rest. These

qualities do pacify Vata however these desires can be fulfilled in a way that doesn’t create an imbalance in Kapha and leave us feeling down and unmotivated.

Vata is balanced by warm, unctuous foods. Soups, dhals, roasted vegetables, and stewed fruit can pacify Vata without leaving you feeling heavy and bloated. Instead of reaching for sugary snacks or hot chips, favour vegetables with a sweet taste such as carrots, sweet potato and pumpkin. Adding good quality oils to your diet is better alternative to eating greasy, fried food.

Spices such as ginger, turmeric, cloves, cinnamon and small amounts of black pepper help to increase warmth in the body and stimulate the mind. They also give a boost to the immune system which is important during the winter months.

Rest has a balancing effect on Vata’s changeability.

However while you may be tempted to sleep in or spend weekends on the couch, it is also helpful to exercise regularly in the cold weather. Exercise improves circulation, enhances digestion and can uplift our moods.

Rugging up and having a briskmorning walk can make you feel more exhilarated for the rest of the day.

T SEEMS THERE are so many wonderful diets to choose from that at times, in our attempt to force better health or more efficient performance from our bodies we follow the advice of well meaning experts who have written for popular magazines or who give general advice on TV. Theproblem is there are so many experts and most of those who influence us have never met us.

Many factors influence what works best for each individual, for example, your emotions, how much you physically do in a day, your current health status, the pressures you are under, and even the type of diet your body has been used to.

The most important thing to remember is always to eat food that is as close to how nature produces it.

Its important also to consider the weather as well

"

$

and to remember that in winter its often best to eat warm cooked foods nourished with herbs and spices and to balance these by including lots of fresh fruits for their enzyme and nutrient benefits.

Become aware of your body's needs and not just automatic cravings. Drink lots of clean filtered water, replace sugar with pure honey, reduce dairy and eat your meals with a happy grateful heart enjoying every delicious mouthful.

Oh and move your body, cosy up and walk, get sunshine, exercise, get your breath and circulation moving, this all helps your digestion to work optimally.

Reconceptualising Pain Maleny Physiotherapy HYSIOTHERAPISTS deal daily

PPost-fracture Physiotherapy

with the issue of chronic, or long-standing pain, it is usually the main complaint when clients present to the clinic. Pain is a critical protective device.

developed and changed and new language or dialogue to educate our clients has emerged.

“It’s my L5 disc, it is slipped!” "$ ! . !

#

"Pain depends on how much , you are in, danger your brain thinks ' often not how much danger you are ' ' $ ' '* actually in." # # # # Pain'is designed to get( you out of # % * the trouble. However, pain and # ( amount of tissue damage occurring ( % of this $ often do- not relate. An example * would be a % person feeling neck ! the spot # pain/headache driving past where# they sustained + " , a whiplash * injury in a motor vehicle # '( accident ' years before.

It is not # # so much &* tissue/cellular % injury causing the % pain # response.

The % ( % person essentially feels threatened. $ Here, many *other output systems such # as the motor, memory, # ( emotion, ' visual, sensory, autonomic $ $ and immune system to name a #few are working'together, allowing us to * escape danger, cope or heal. ' # % (NOI Group) ) The'Neuro Orthopaedic Institute based in . # $ Adelaide is an independent international group of . # Physiotherapists dedicated to research and education in . Current research encompasses a biological pain. (neuroscience) and psychosocial paradigm to help . ' 'Explain#Pain'. # Over many and . the past years, % ' Medical $ # Allied Health " Professionals, including at Maleny . # % our Physiotherapists # Physiotherapy have attended their courses . # $ $in an effort to improve clinical – for patients, therapists and ( ( outcomes # the clinical team.

As we continue to learn more about pain, some of our physiotherapy treatment strategies and techniques have

The language we use builds very strong ( images $ ! $ in!"our" minds of pain (! and " dysfunction. (" " " This & %like(the back is unstable, " sounds "( unreliable and #dangerous. As "$ we often & " examine clinicians ! spines "$ that have radiological + disease, but the evidence of disc spinal level named( is$not the (" ' #! structure/level causing pain! " !$ !

Metaphors ! & are (commonly used * to express how we feel about pain! and its effect. This too, gives us clues as clinicians as to how to help! our patients.
