MAY THE FORCE BE WITH SMALL BUSINESS AGAIN

S

mall businesses in the City of Logan will get a timely boost next month. Logan City Council, through its Logan Office of Economic Development (LOED), will sponsor a number of events in May, during Queensland Small Business Month.

They include a Joint Chambers of Commerce Breakfast at Performance Studios, Loganholme, on Wednesday, May 4.

Representatives from Beenleigh Yatala Chamber of Commerce, Logan Regional Chamber of Commerce and Logan Chamber of Commerce will be present.

City of Logan businessowners, some of whom have battled a pandemic, lockdowns and natural disasters in recent times, are invited to attend for the chance to reconnect and build new networks.

Attendees may hear something familiar when they listen to keynote speaker Karen Jacobsen.

She is the voice of Siri in millions of GPSenabled smart devices worldwide.

A Business Station Day at Logan Metro Sports Centre on Tuesday, May 3 will teach oneperson start-ups about kicking off the hiring process.

There will also be tips on how to digitise a business.

It is one of 13 events Logan City Council will run during the month.

Economic Chair, Acting Mayor Jon Raven, urged local business owners to get involved.

“Small business is one of the major drivers of the City of Logan’s economy and provide local jobs for our residents,” Cr Raven said.

“I encourage all small business owners to get involved in an event next month and learn new ways to grow their business and build resilience.”

Last year Council signed up to become a Small Business Friendly Council with the Queensland Government to foster and support business operators.

Berrinba business Short Stack Printing is new to the Logan Chamber of Commerce.

The company, which began in a Crestmead garage, targets short printing runs for small businesses.

Director Josh Morrison-Francis said joining the Chamber meant the firm could help support other small businesses in uncertain economic times.

“We’re a small business, and we get the struggles other small businesses have, so if we can help, we will bend over backwards to help,” he said.

LIGHTS PUT FOCUS ON

FAMILY VIOLENCE

T

he City of Logan will use colour to convey a powerful message about domestic and family violence.

Logan City Council’s Administration Building in Logan Central and three of the city’s water towers at Underwood, Shailer Park and Hillcrest will be lit up next month to mark Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month (DFVPM).

They will be illuminated purple and orange nightly between Friday, May 13 and Monday, May 16 and from Thursday, May 19 to Wednesday, May 25.

A community candle-lighting ceremony will also be hosted by the Not Now, Not Ever in Logan reference group from 5.30pm to 6.30pm on Wednesday, May 4 at the Logan Entertainment Centre forecourt, in Logan Central.

The ceremony will remember those who have lost their lives through domestic and family violence while also supporting those affected by it.

City Lifestyle Chair Councillor Laurie Koranski said the ceremony would bring the community together to deliver a resounding message: ‘Not Now, Not Ever in Logan’.

Cr Koranski said Council and the community are working together to increase awareness about domestic and family violence and what can be done to prevent it.

Council has committed to addressing domestic and family violence in its City of Logan Safe City Strategy and Action Plan 2021-2025.

“We are turning words into actions and lending our support to address an issue which sadly affects so many lives,” Cr Koranski said.

Community members are invited to take part in the candlelight ceremony and no registrations are necessary.

THE UNDERRATED BEAUTY OF

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS IN YOUR HOME

I

t doesn’t have to cost much to beautify your home. Whether you desire a pop of color, a gentle reminder of life and the outdoors, or looking to spice up your interiors, artificial flowers provide all of these without breaking the bank.

If you’re looking for ways to channel the underrated beauty of faux flowers, you’re in the right place! Here are some of our most favorite and easiest ways of styling artificial flowers.

Arrange Your Faux Flower Bouquet Like You Would Arrange Real Flowers If you want your arrangement to feel and look as authentic as possible, avoid arranging it symmetrically. Try to arrange it similarly to your natural buds and stems. Style every stem differently before adding it to the overall arrangement.

Keep Your Arrangement Simple The secret to making your floral arrangement pop is to keep it simple. As much as possible, stick to two-colored tones or only one. Add texture by styling it with fresh greenery. You can also try a single stem arrangement for a more striking appeal.

Ditch the Vase The great thing about working with artificial flowers is that possibilities are limitless. You are not restrained with using only a vase for its beauty to pop. You can be as creative as you’d like with artificial flowers. You can wrap it around a framed masterpiece or use it as hanging wall décor!

Complement the Room Some flowers complement the room’s overall vibe and interior. For example, you can either bask in the beauty of wide-blooming roses or hydrangeas in your bedroom. Or, feel refreshed with tulips in your living area.

We hope that these styling tips help you in maximizing an artificial flower’s beauty.

If you’re looking for a ready-made faux flower arrangement for your home or an occasion, you can always reach out to us for more details.

KICKING GOALS WITH LIFESTYLE SOLUTIONS

A

t Lifestyle Solutions, their focus is on helping people to achieve their goals…which takes on a whole new meaning for Jacob whose passion for Aussie Rules and Rugby League is all about goals.

Supported by Lifestyle Solutions for the past 11 years, Jacob does a brilliant job running their Queensland Support Centre’s AFL, NRL and Women’s AFL tipping competition with help from his Support Worker, Graham.

“I like running the tipping comp and Graham helps me print out my footy tips for my day program. AFL is a good game.

I’ve supported the Geelong AFL Club for many years. I like going to the Metricon when they come up to play and going to the AFL Lions Club in Springwood,” said Jacob.

Lifestyle Solutions believes everyone is equal and that all people should be provided equal opportunity and equal respect.

“We work closely with the people we support, their families, carers and guardians to provide reliable, responsive, flexible services in a friendly, empathetic and caring way,” Jacqui said.

Support Coordinator, Jacqui Drescher, said Lifestyle Solutions supports Jacob to pursue his interests through their Community Access program.

“Jacob visits our Allawah Respite Outlet at Cornubia. It’s a great opportunity for him to meet new people and make friends,” said Jacqui.

“He also participates in our Day Program.

He loves getting out and about with Graham, visiting new places and doing some of his favourite things.”

Jacqui said 31-year-old Jacob likes to get together with Graham and plan what they’ll do for the day before they “they head off on their adventures”.

“Graham is fun,” said Jacob. “He makes me feel safe. He always helps me get in and out of the car. He takes me out fishing and we go to other places. Going out on the Aqua Duck on the Gold Coast is lots of fun and on Thursdays I go to the fish and chip shop.”

“I like to cook at Allawah and annoy Graham with my singing,” he added with a cheeky smile.

“Jacob is a very engaging and personable man and the team’s always happy to see him when he drops into the office,” Jacqui said. “He does a really good job with the tipping competition, and we love that we’re able to help Jacob develop his interest and engagement in his sports.”

“We understand the challenges people face getting the right supports in place to make the most of their NDIS funding. It’s not always easy knowing where to go for support and how to bring everything together. That’s where our Support Coordination team can help. We’re here to make the process easier and empower people to realise their dreams,” Jacqui explained.

Their comprehensive range of supports and services are tailored to individual needs and designed to help people achieve what matters to them. From developing individualised management plans to having regular check-ins with people to make sure they’re getting the most out of each service, they’re there all the way.

“We want to help people build connections with their community and support them to live comfortably and more independently,” added Jacqui.

Lifestyle Solutions also offers a range of disability accommodation options, from shortterm Respite Care to Specialist Disability Accommodation for people with high needs.

Their Supported Independent Living (SIL) accommodation gives people greater control over who they live with and how the supports in their home are structured. People living in Lifestyle Solutions SIL homes are supported and encouraged to develop independence with decision making, planning, budgeting, daily living and personal care skills.

If you’re looking for everyday disability support you can count on, talk to Lifestyle Solutions. Phone 1800 634 748 or visit www. lifestylesolutions.org.au

COACHES IN

BEENLEIGH

PART ONE: 1871 to 1881

By Dr. Graeme Nicholson.

I

nformation about Cobb and Co. routes in Logan is extremely contradictory. The earliest reference to a coach service in the area thus dates from the early 1870s, when a mail service between Brisbane and Pimpama began operating on a weekly basis. Whether this coach was a Cobb and Co. coach is debatable, since early records do not always distinguish between Cobb and Co., and the various private carriers operating during this period. It is for this reason that tracing early coach routes today is such a frustrating exercise.

Part of this reluctance to establish a service must be attributed to the poor state of the roads

which were still little better than goat tracks.

Logan Road itself, a former aboriginal trail was known disparagingly as 'Slack’s Track' (after William Slack of Slacks Creek whose family used the track to drive their livestock to the Brisbane market from the Albert and Logan River settlements). In 1865 a letter from the Engineer of Roads described it as: at present almost impassable.

For almost the first ten years following settlement in the Logan Agricultural Reserve in 1861, transport in and out of the Logan District was limited to three very primitive options. A traveller either rode or drove his own horse, travelled by river, or walked. Not until the 1870s did the introduction of regular road connections to Brisbane alleviate this isolation, and provide a reliable means of contact.

The first definite reference to a Cobb and Co. route to the south of Brisbane, dates from January 1871, when a weekly service commenced between Brisbane and Nerang.

The 1871 Nerang service ran through Eight Mile Plains, Waterford (site of Logan’s first post office) where it crossed the river by ferry, down Dairy Creek Road to Bahr’s Scrub (Logan Breakthrough), and onto the Albert River by

Cobb and Co Coach Outside the Pimpama Hotel ca. 1875 JOL Photo 53938 18 | Beenleigh Guide

way of Windaroo Lane (Bannockburn).

The coach then continued south to Nerang Creek via Stanmore and Ormeau. Horses were changed at Eight Mile Plains, and at Beenleigh, where the Beenleigh Hotel (corner of City Road and George Street) was later to serve as a depot.

There is evidence that three coach services operated in Beenleigh in 1881. The following newspaper article published in The Queenslander on 3rd December 1881 describes the three coach services: Our public carriers have been playing a nice little game with us lately. Before the Nebo rush (the gold rush) Cobb and Co. used to run their coaches twice a day to Brisbane and back, but when that rush broke out one of their coaches was taken off and another carrier (Suhr) started one instead.

The fares were 4s. morning coach, 5s. mail coach; Bleck, of the opposition line, carrying at 2s. 6d. But Nebo proving a duffer, the coaches were withdrawn, and announced to run here again at 1s. fare. Suhr of course succumbed, but Mr. Carl Bleck, of Brisbane, continued to carry at 2s. 6d. each way, and Messrs. Cobb and Co. at 1s. This went on for a time, and now Bleck's coach has been taken off for a week or two, and Cobb and Co. have raised their fares to 4s. again.

FREE ENTRY TO ARTS IN THE OLIVES

WITH A PAID WORKSHOP TICKET

A

rts in the Olives is back after a break of five years. Lots of things are the same but the biggest difference is that it has moved olives groves. From the Lost World it is off to the other side of the Scenic Rim to Kulgun (near Kalbar) to Olive View Estate, one hour from Brisbane and half an hour from Beaudesert.

Considered by many to have been the Scenic Rim’s best arts event, Arts in the Olives ran successfully for 10 years. BADCAP (Beaudesert and District Community Arts Project) is a not-forprofit organisation run by volunteers dedicated to beautifying the Scenic Rim with public art. Holding workshops encouraging people to be creative is also part of its agenda, hence all the wonderful workshops planned for Arts in the Olives 2022.

Here is a list of workshops available and it is recommended to book without delay as they’re filling fast. And with a paid workshop ticket, there is no entrance fee applicable.

Here are the workshops: Blacksmithing with Gilbert Louttit, Mark Making on Fabric with Ali George, Limestone Sculpture with Paul Stumkat, Pen and Wash Watercolour Techniques with Tamblyn Geiger, Felted Finger Puppets with Jo Davies, Bamboo Flute Making with Noel Dowling, Indigo and Shibori with Ali George, Clay Portrait with Paul Stumkat, Weaving and Stitching with Therese Flynn-Clarke (three separate workshops), Indigenous Art with Peter

Fowler, Precious Metal Clay Jewellery with Colleen Lavender, Eco Dye a Nature Journal with Wendi Trulson, Intro to Metalsmithing with Meekz Contemporary Jewellery, Quirky Pots with Beaudesert Potters, Friendship Bands with Stephanie Wernick, the Art of Pizza Making with Pietro Agnoletto and Yoga with Jo Davies. There are lots of free children’s workshops both days and many interesting sustainability and lifestyle sessions for adults, also free.

Even though there aren’t any tickets left to Scenic Rim Regional Council’s Arts Dinner on the Saturday night, everyone is invited to listen to the panel of inspirational guest speakers sharing their arts’ journeys.

Gourmet food trucks supporting local producers will have everyone’s taste covered and the artisan stalls include pottery, sculptures, jewellery, clothing to die for, hand-made soaps, truffles, macrame, home-made delicacies and everything imaginable.

Arts in the Olives is on 7th and 8th May so is the perfect place to take Mother on her special day.

All details re accommodation and entrance fees can be found on www.badcap.org

COOKING UP A STORM IN THE

HEART OF THE SCENIC RIM!

T

he Scenic Rim’s food scene has changed dramatically over the last 10 years with clever artisan producers creating cheeses, smallgoods, dairy, beef, pork, veal, lamb, camel product, vegetables, wines, beer, gin and so much more.

“The produce out here in the Scenic Rim makes it even easier to be a chef and cooking class owner in the heart of the Scenic Rim, Boonah and Mount Alford” stated Scenic Rim Cooking Classes owner, Caz Osborne.

Established in 2018, Scenic Rim Cooking Classes focus on cooking and eating sustainably sourced foods from both land and sea.

Their cooking classes are held in the kitchens of owner Caz’s homes in Boonah and Mount Alford, or the client's preferred venue, where she creates a casual and fun atmosphere in all her classes.

“Food and eating should be a joyous experience and my aim is to create ‘food to live for’.

Let me ignite your passion for food, cooking and entertaining,” stated Caz. Further inspired by her time with Aboriginal elders, expanding her interest in Australian Indigenous foods and how they play a part in sustaining us both culinary and our lands. Inspired by what she learned; Caz created an amazing Aussie Bush Tucker Cooking Class!

The first class is taking place on the 10th of August, where people can learn to create mod-

24 | Beenleigh Guide

ern Australian food inspired by bush foods. It is also part of Eat Local Week Scenic Rim, with classes taking place on the 28th of June and the 1st of July.

Come along and be tempted by locally sourced produce from the Scenic Rim, featuring plenty of bush tucker ingredients: kangaroo, bush tomato, macadamia, saltbush, lemon myrtle, wattleseed, lily pillis and more. Other class dates include the 27th of August.

If bush tucker is not your thing, Caz offers a variety of cooking classes in the kitchen of Hammermeister House, a historic Queenslander set in beautiful gardens and with stunning views of the border ranges. Covering a range of cuisines including Mexican, Italian, Thai and Vietnamese even a class focusing on Champagne!

SUPPORTING EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT

P

arents, families and carers are a child’s first and most important teachers.

Evidence shows that the early years are crucial for the healthy development of a child, and a person’s life successes, health and emotional wellbeing are dependent upon these years. We know that if we get it right in the early years, we can expect to see children thrive throughout school and their adult lives.

learning and school community - to help them learn and enjoy school. As a parent, you and your family play an important role in supporting your child’s education. The earlier you and your family become engaged, the better it is for your child’s learning.

During the first few years of a child’s life, their brain develops at a rapid rate. While a baby’s genes provide the initial blueprint for development, it is the experiences and relationships babies and children have that are the real building blocks in shaping children’s brains.

• Set positive expectations

Parent engagement in education is about parents being positively involved in their child’s

Research has identified five ways that you can make a big difference to your child’s learning:

• Have regular conversations • Support good study habits • Encourage reading • Build a partnership with your child’s teachers.

TIPS ON KEEPING YOUR PET WARM AND HEALTHY

A

s temperatures continue to drop we find ourselves rugging up with warm jackets, scarves and extra blankets on our beds to keep us warm at night. But what about our pets, how can we keep them warm and cosy during the winter?

It is sometimes forgotten that our pets are just as accustomed to the warm weather and shelter of our indoor homes as we are. It is important to consider your pet’s wellbeing during the cooler months and the many things that you can do to keep your family pet warm and safe this winter.

We have some great and simple tips on keeping your pet warm and healthy during the cooler months.

1. Good Exercise

Keep your pet warm and healthy during winter and prevent any extra kilos creeping on with plenty of exercise.

2. Regular Health Checks

Don’t forget to take your furry friend to the vet for a winter health check-up. Older pets in

44 | Beenleigh Guide

particular are susceptible to chilly temperatures and you may notice them start to slow down over the next few months.

3. Fresh Water

Pets still require plenty of fresh water in winter especially when they are spending time indoors as the heating can dehydrate them quickly. If you live in a particularly cold area, be sure to check your pet’s water bowl regularly to make sure that it has not iced over.

4. Warm and Comfy Bedding

Now is the time to reconsider where to house your pet overnight. If your pet sleeps outside, provide them with a warm place to sleep and rest utilising thicker bedding, warm jackets and even microwavable heat pillows if necessary.

5. Diet

Avoid overfeeding your fur baby over the winter months as they may not be able to burn off the additional calories.

The care requirements might vary depending upon the breed.
