HISTORY

PROMINENT BUILDINGS IN BEENLEIGH PART ONE Beenleigh School of Arts and Memorial Hall

By Dr Graeme Nicholson OAM

T

he Beenleigh School of Arts had an interesting beginning as reflected in the following report from the Logan Witness (1887), 22 January, p.2: SCHOOL OF ARTS TENDERS, — A meeting was held in the Court House, on Thursday last, to receive tenders for the new building.

There were several tenders in, but owing to the untrustworthy caloric of the amiable secretary the meeting was brought to an untimely end — he handed in his resignation — a jolly good job for the future of the School of Arts.

The opening of the building was described in the Logan Witness (1888) on 7 April, p.3: OPENING THE BEENLEIGH SCHOOL OF ARTS, — This valuable and important Institution was opened last Monday evening by a commemoration ceremony of a ball and refreshments a few speeches and various intellectual games of chess, drafts, &c. The evening was very dark and rain threatened, otherwise there would have been a much greater attendance from the outside of the town. As it was, there were many who enjoyed themselves heartily, dancing for a long time.

The president, (Mr. Savage), made a short speech upon the event, and hoped the youth especially, would take early advantage of the Institution to improve themselves during the winter evenings. They were making a very good start. Country newspaper

proprietors were sending in free copies of their papers. They were getting free gifts of books and they had ordered a number of English papers and magazines. Several other gentlemen gave either a short speech, reading, or recitation. Refreshments were provided at side-tables, and the evening was spent very agreeably.

The building underwent numerous changes over its lifetime. It was extended several times and then in 1951 was found to be badly damaged by white ants and the decision was made to demolish it and rebuild.

In 1952, around the time that construction of the new building was about to commence, its name was changed to the Beenleigh Memorial School of Arts. It later underwent a further name change to become the Beenleigh Memorial Hall.

The new building, which incorporated the good timber salvaged from the old, was officially opened on 20 February 1953. Funds had been raised through the joint efforts of the School of Arts Committee and the Beenleigh Sub-Branch of the RSL. The hall, built as a monument in memory of the Beenleigh and district diggers of two World Wars, served the community until its destruction in a fire, believed to be deliberately lit, on 13 July 1991. It had been home to several community groups.

he topic of discussion whilst we were putting this issue together was the passing of the ‘Great’ Elizabeth II, the only monarch we have known in our lifetime.

No doubt The Queen has been a loyal servant to her people and an inspiration to many. Regardless of our background and beliefs, she was our Queen and we simply say ‘Thank You’.

NEW TECH & INNOVATION SHAPING

FOOT CARE OF THE FUTURE

M

oving Forward Podiatry & Orthotics opened its doors to the Beenleigh public in June of this year.

Following a long successful career providing lower limb health services to some of the UK and Australia’s most disadvantaged populations, Moving Forward Podiatry & Orthotics Director Matthew has gone about putting together a blueprint for the provision of exceptional lower limb health care.

“

The past fifteen years have seen a lot happen in the form of technological improvement for the assessment and management of lower limb health care and Moving Forward Podiatry & Orthotics is pleased to showcase this advanced technology to the town of Beenleigh.

”

Clinics offering in-shoe pressure assessments, 3D gait/running assessments and Shockwave Therapy exist in Brisbane and the surrounding suburbs, but you will be hard-pressed to find clinics close to Beenleigh with all these solutions.

8 | Beenleigh Guide

Radial pressure (RPW shockwave) therapy is an excellent treatment option for trigger point muscle pain in areas like the calf and iliotibial band (ITB) strains. It works by sending pulse waves through trigger points to elicit an immediate break down of muscle fibre bands causing pain and mobility restriction.

RPW is also effective in the management of chronic tendinopathies of the Achilles and plantar fascia (cause of heel pain). It is especially useful for those long-standing conditions that traditional therapies such as orthotics, footwear change and exercise therapy have failed to resolve.

RPW therapy is also currently being used for the management of chronic hip and knee pain secondary to osteoarthritis and gluteal muscle weakness. Diabetes is a condition that Beenleigh knows all about, with the prevalence of diabetes in Beenleigh estimated to be around 7% according to a primary health network (PHN) report from 2018.

The three-year risk of foot ulceration from diabetes is about 5.1% even if individuals have no other complications detected at their diabetic foot assessments, such as foot deformity or lack of feeling (otherwise known as peripheral neuropathy).

This risk of ulceration from diabetes can be as high as 18.8% when these risk factors are detected during diabetic foot assessments, so it is imperative that these issues are detected early and the condition is well managed.

Knowing this information and educating people with diabetes on this information, the importance of podiatry screening for risk factors of diabetic foot disease becomes very clear.

Moving Forward Podiatry & Orthotics uses a Medilogic in-shoe pressure assessment tool to detect areas of the foot that are most at risk of diabetic foot disease and ulceration.

Pinpoint precision sensors are used in clients’ shoes to educate them on the areas of potential danger to their feet, and the improvements in dangerous pressures following footwear change and use of custom foot orthosis.

The same assessment technology is also used to help runners improve their technique and show recreational gym users how their stance during training can contribute to the cause of lower limb pain. It isn’t just diabetic foot complications that podiatrists are experts in, but any issues related to poor movement or pain affecting your feet, ankles and knees hips can be better managed following a full body 3D movement assessment.

The same Medilogic assessment technology is also used to help runners improve their technique and show recreational gym users how their stance during training can contribute to the cause of lower limb pain.

Moving Forward Podiatry & Orthotics helps children, teenagers, adults and older aged persons with a range of lower limb health, movement and pain management strategies to keep them moving and feeling better.

Moving Forward Podiatry & Orthotics Beenleigh welcomes clients on EPC referrals, DVA referrals and NDIS plans as well as private clients.

You do not need a referral to access our service, but individuals accessing a care plan or supports via a NDIS plan should consult with their GP or support coordinator prior to making an appointment.

Our motto: Healthier Feet, Healthier You – Better Systems, Better Care, Because You Matter!

FLOWERS FOR EVER AFTER

H

ave you ever wondered why a bride would choose fake over fresh flowers?

I mean, let’s face it. It’s her big day, and most brides get married with the intent of forever, right? So why not invest in the best and get fresh?

But as we chat with Logan newly weds who chose fake over fresh, we get it!

DESTINATION WEDDINGS The biggest issue with a destination wedding is not knowing a good florist in that area or you have chosen a region that has very specific flower types. Artificial flowers can be easily boxed and transported without any hassle, are generally lightweight and once there can be unpacked, fluffed out and looking perfect.

QUALITY Today fake flowers have come a very long way.

Some of the best artificial flowers in the industry are called Real Touch, and they do look and feel like the real deal. More than ever brides are convinced to have fake over fresh because of the improvements in quality. Moreover, Real Touch flowers photograph beautifully, and it’s tough to tell they’re not real.

NO WILTING, NO DYING Heat is a huge enemy of fresh flowers, and for those of us who live in the hot parts of the country, we know that it doesn’t take much for your beautiful blooms to start looking sad… not only will your artificial flowers look amazing all day, but they can be kept for years to come.

CONVENIENCE With fake flowers, a bride has the liberty of having what she wants when she wants it and where she needs it. She will never incur a premium if her favorite flowers are out of season.

When a bride gives her designer enough time, she can get her exact dream bouquet.

MADE JUST

FOR YOU CUSTOM JEWELLERY

BY LARRY There is nothing more romantic and beautiful than a special piece of jewellery for the one you hold dear.

I

f you like then you should put a ring on it … or a necklace, bracelet or even earrings. Jewellery says a lot about the person wearing it and for most people, holds sentimental and personal feelings. It can be used to make a personal statement and has an unquestionable ability to bring out the best in a person's features and personality when the right piece is worn by the right individual for the right occasion. It can individualise a person.

But have you ever thought of going that extra step and designing a bespoke piece of jewellery for the one you love?

If you’re unfamiliar with the process of getting custom jewellery made, you probably think it’s a costly and lengthy

12 | Beenleigh Guide

After 45 years of experience in the jewellery industry, Larry is well versed in all things jewellery related. Known for his handmade custom jewellery designs and master restoration work, Larry and his team of experts have worked with each of their clients to create something unique and special for them.

“It all comes down to personal preference of design and feelings. What may be perfect for one person won’t be for another; everyone has their unique tastes, opinions and style. People also have different lifestyles that you should take into consideration when designing that ‘perfect’ piece.” endeavour. But it’s not just an option for the rich and famous, nor should it be seen as a splurge purchase only for special occasions.

Custom made jewellery is accessible to everyone.

In reality, custom made jewellery can cost the exact same price as an item of jewellery you purchase off the shelf. Why? Because the cost comes down to the materials used, the size and quality of the gemstones, the complexity of the design and how long it takes to craft the piece.

These variables are all the same whether it was pre-made to sit on a shelf or made to suit your specification.

“

It’s a real privilege to own custom jewellery like no other; pieces that carry a depth of meaning, celebrate special occasions and connections Larry Corbo, master jeweller and owner of LC Jewellers in Beenleigh

”

“I am passionate about helping people with their jewellery dreams. As a master jeweller, I can create something amazing and personal for them to treasure over the years or repair a sentimental item. I love designing, creating and restoring pieces for individuals” stated Larry.

“We’re here to help everybody and we can cater to all budgets.”

Getting a custom piece of jewellery created is much easier than most people think. Before you even begin, you first need to sit down with a jeweller to discuss exactly what to expect.

“For us the creative process starts when a client comes in and we start to create a drawing of the piece”, started Larry from LC Jewellers.

“We work with them to discover what they like and don’t like as well as observing what kind of jewellery they like wearing or what we think would suit them. The design and development stage is a collaborative process, between us and the client, which is based on open communication”.

So, is custom designed jewellery worth it?

This question really comes down to personal preference. When deciding whether to go ahead with making a custom piece or not, you do need to keep in mind that it does take some time for your custom piece to be made.

If you would like to design and create jewellery specifically for you or your loved ones that they will adore and cherish, then contact Larry for all your jewellery needs on 0402 055 536 or visit L.C Jewellers website, www.lcjewellers.com.au.

LETS SHAPE UP

FOR SUMMER

S

ummer is almost here and many of us are looking for the ultimate hacks to get beach-ready bodies. Knowing what to concentrate on and finding out what works for you is key to shedding weight, toning muscle and feeling good fast.

Regardless of what your summer-body goals are, here are some tips to help you shape up for summer.

Make Small Changes Daily Making big changes can be hard to maintain, with most people give up after a short amount of time. So, instead of trying to commit to large seemingly unachievable goals that place huge pressure on your body and mind, take it one step at a time. Opt for small changes designed to make a big impact. You don’t need to give up carbs forever – slow and steady lifestyle changes are generally easier to sustain over the long term.

Invest In A Personal Trainer Teaming up with someone else can be the perfect source of motivation. Finding the right personal trainer can help achieve results faster and keep you accountable. Find someone who motivates you. Whether it’s through positive

reinforcement or pushing you to your limits – you want their personality to work with yours to get the best results.

Get Your Heart Pumping Its important to stay active on a regular basis is vital not just to achieve that beach bod but for general health and fitness as well. As a general goal, aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day. If you want to lose weight, maintain weight loss or meet specific fitness goals, you may need to exercise more.

Reducing sitting time is important, too. The more hours you sit each day, the higher your risk of metabolic problems.

Turn Up The Nutrition Exercising is only one side of the equation; good nutrition is fundamental for a beach-ready body. Nutrient-dense foods like vegetables, nuts, whole grains and avocado, help maximise the number of nutrients your body takes in and are loaded with healthy fats and essential minerals needed to operate at peak performance.

Mix Up Your Routines Doing the same thing every day, is a quick way to lose motivation. Whether you’re training at the gym, at home or both, mixing up workouts will encourage you to focus on different areas of your body and gain inspiration to keep working out. Be creative and create your own circuits to achieve the results you want. As long as there’s variety, the results and motivation will flow.

THE RISING THIRST FOR CRAFT BEERS O

ver the years, we’ve seen the demand for all things artisanal and hand-crafted sky rocket and as a heatwave spreads across the country this period what better time to turn a spotlight on Australia’s flourishing craft beer sector than now.

The changing tastes of consumers is one of the main reasons behind this growth. Beer drinkers (and even non-regular beer drinkers) are drawn to the idea of their beverage being “handcrafted” and produced using only highquality ingredients. The switch to healthy living is also a driving factor. As Australians have begun to moderate their eating and drinking habits, they have started looking for low-carb and gluten-free drink options.

16 | Beenleigh Guide

BRIEF HISTORY OF AUSTRALIAN BEER The use of beer in Australia has a long history, having served as a staple aboard the HMS Endeavour that brought Captain Cook to Australia’s shores.

Beer is purported to have originally been used to preserve drinking water and to keep scurvy at bay. Fast forward a few years and – while beer likely was brewed by many – the first recognised brewer was former convict John Boston, who used a variety of Cape gooseberry leaves and Indian corn to brew the first local beer.

Recipe

Japanese Pancakes:

Soufflé Pancake

W

ant fluffy Japanese pancakes but can’t fly to Tokyo? This recipe is for you. Soufflé pancakes are fluffy, jiggly, sweet, soft, and so, so delicious. They taste like you are eating a sweet pancake cloud, with butter and syrup!

Serves 2 | Prep 15m | Cook 15m

Ingredients Yolks: 2 egg yolk 18g 2 tbsp sugar 12g 4 tbsp milk 30g 6 tbsp flour 30g 0.5 tsp baking powder 1g Whites: 4 large egg whites 60g 0.25 tsp cream of tartar 0.4g 3 tbsp sugar 18g

Method

1. Whisk the egg yolk with the sugar until pale and frothy. Mix the milk in batches. Sift the flour and baking powder over the yolk mixture and whisk well making sure everything is incorporated.

2. Whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar until frothy and pale, adding in the sugar in bit at a time until the whites are whipped into a glossy thick meringue that holds a peak. Be careful not to over whip.

3. Take 1/3 of the whipped egg whites and whisk it into the bowl with the yolks until completely incorporated. Add half of the remaining whites and whisk into the yolk batter, being careful not to deflate. Transfer the egg yolk mixture to the remaining egg whites, whisk and then use a spatula to fold together.

4. Heat up a large non stick frying (with a lid) pan over low heat. Very lightly brush with oil and use a paper towel to rub it around. You want a very light film. Using an ice cream scoop or measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the pan. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes.

5. Remove the lid and add some more batter on top of each pancake. Cover and continue to cook for 4-5 more minutes. Lift the lid and use a spatula to gently peek under the pancake. The pancake should release easily – don’t force it.

6. Once the pancakes are golden and cooked through, gently remove and serve on a plate with powdered sugar, butter, whipped cream, and maple syrup. Enjoy immediately!

“It’s Ok, I will help you.” He told me. Did I mention he lives in another state? I searched Gumtree and Marketplace, taste tested coffee and studied. The hardest part was finding a place.

I lived in Rochedale South forever and something made me go there one day and there was a $10 note stuck to the fence. Was this a sign?

Maybe! I believe in signs and that everything happens for a reason, I have to for my own sanity!

So, we established that I am slightly insane and strangely after three years still serving coffee. The real reason I open every day is because of the great people who live in our community and love to meet at the cafe. Like our Mahjong group that meet and play most Friday mornings.

In Closing, be open for anything and don’t underestimate what you are capable of.

Getaways THE TWEED

L

ast month we took you along a journey to the beautiful Tweed Valley, now we are showcasing the Coast.

Come along and enjoy the surf, sun and sand – but minus the crowds of other popular coastal hamlets surrounding Kingscliff.

Kingscliff is the quintessential North Coast NSW beach holiday destination. Just south of the Queensland border, this sleepy village in The Tweed has a string of blissful beaches, from Fingal Head near the mouth of the Tweed River all the way south to Cabarita Beach, known for its reliably good waves.

This part of the Tweed is a magnet for water sports enthusiasts, drawn here to swim, surf, snorkel (green sea turtles are a highlight), sail along the Tweed River – and spot whales, which migrate up and down the coastline from May through to November.

There’s no need to venture far from main Kingscliff Beach, which curves from the breakwater at Cudgen Headland in the south (where the Cudgen Creek flows into the ocean) to Dreamtime Beach at Fingal Head, in the north.

The diverse conditions across the long stretch allow for calm waters in estuaries – ideal for

34 | Beenleigh Guide

young kids, kayaking and paddleboarding – as well as world-class breaks at the beach, including Cudgen’s legendary right-hander.

Back on dry land, there is plenty to do, from taking part in a leisurely bike ride, to enjoying the delicious local produce and regional delicacies to exploring the local markets and boutiques.

One shop you can miss out on visiting is Meraki Blu Boutique & Homewares. Located in the Peppers Salt Resort & Spa, on Bells Blvd, Meraki Blu opened in August 2019. Since then, Cheryle and her team have been carefully curating beautiful fashion, accessories and homewares for you to create a life with love, passion and soul.

Explore the gorgeous treasures, homewares and the ladies love the fashion labels they stock.

With so much to see, do and experience in the Tweed, why not make it your next holiday destination? www.merakiblu.com.au

THE PLATE IS ON THE ROAD

“I chose to pass on the plate to Rachael from Aura Skin in Rochedale because although our businesses are quite close, I haven’t yet had the chance to visit her gorgeous space”, explained Tina, “I did walk out of there with an appointment for later this month - I’m excited!”

W

Aura Skin specialises in skin, beauty and cosmetic tattooing services, aiming to combine the best in clinical treatments with a sense of nurturing and relaxation. From there, Rachael shared the plate with a local hairdresser, Steph from Hygge Hair in Rochedale South.

AGAIN...

hat a journey the plates have been on so far, travelling to over 13 businesses in the past six months!

Since our last update in August, the plates have changed hands a few times. So, we thought we’d keep you up to date on how ‘Where the Plate’ is travelling.

The original plate was passed from Martin and his team at The Local Fisho in Loganholme onto Louis from Mosaic Pizza in Shailer Park, along with a beautiful seafood platter.

The second plate, launched in August, has continued on its journey thanks to Tina from Helloworld Travel in Rochedale, who shared it with Racheal from AURA SKIN in Rochedale along with a beautiful Ladies Long Weekend goodie bag.

Rachael shared on facebook, “Today I visited Steph from Hygge Hair Salon to pass on the Qld Guides ‘Pass the Plate’ and gift her with a little AURA SKIN goodie bag.”

“Although we hadn’t had the chance to properly meet yet, I had heard so many wonderful things about Steph and Shelley. Along with the rave reviews from clients, Hygge Hair is a sustainable salon, reducing and repurposing salon waste. Over to you Steph!”

Where will the plate go next? Stay tuned for the next destination. We also encourage readers to check out the hashtag #whereistheplatelcg and like or follow the participating businesses or stop by for a visit.

You can also follow the journey on the QLD Guides Facebook page, @qldguides.

BOOST YOUR SOLAR POWER

A

car that’s well-oiled and serviced performs better and for longer. Just as we want our set of wheels free of mud, we like our windows crystal-clear as well.

The way we approach solar panels should be no different. By keeping our solar panels at their best, we can expect that they will perform at their optimum, remain free of any safety hazards and ensure that they continue to provide energy to our homes or business for years to come.

Solar panels have become a great way to reduce your power bill and help the environment. They are certainly an investment worth having on your home. To ensure your solar panels are performing at their best, it’s always important to keep your solar panels clean.

But why do they need cleaning?

While solar panels in general usually require very little maintenance once they’re installed, as with any system, they do require a little TLC to keep them functioning at their best.

Over time, solar panels can collect debris, dust, dirt and bird droppings, etc. Solar panel energy production can be dramatically improved when your panels are cleaned and maintained regularly - saving you money and protecting your investment.

How often should I clean my solar panels?

As a general rule, considering our harsh Australian climate, you want to aim to clean your solar panels at least every six months.

However, if we are experiencing extreme climate conditions such as fires, dust storms or excessive rainstorms, then you may need to clean your panels more often.

Ultimately, regular cleaning ensures you get the most return on your investment possible.

However, to avoid accidentally damaging your solar panels, calling in a professional is a great idea. A professional can help keep your solar panels nice and clean and regular visits could extend the life of your solar panel system while ensuring you don’t void your warranty.

So, contact the friendly team at Berry Clean for your free Solar Cleaning quote today!

Her Majesty The Queen What did Queen Elizabeth II mean to me?

A

fter the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth II last month in September, the world united to pay their respects and remember the UK’s longest-serving monarch. Honouring Queen Elizabeth’s years of service and dedication to the Crown, her country, her people and the Commonwealth.

For many of us in Australia, she is the only monarch we have known in our lifetime. She has always been there and has been a true constant in our lives. However, as the world unites to pay tribute to the late Queen’s legacy, it’s a chance for Australians to reflect on what the Queen meant to them.

We asked the local community and here are some of the responses we got

Very sad because she was a wonderful old girl, and a link to the WW2 generation, my parent’s generation, which is now passing away. On the other hand, on a personal level, dying at 96, still in full possession of all your marbles and having been still working up until two days before your death, is more of a triumph than a tragedy.

Claire, Springwood

42 | Beenleigh Guide

The Queen was an amazing woman and a beautiful soul.

Britain’s longest reigning monarch, she had extensive history to her name and served an amazing life. She lived a life of service to her people and was simply one lovely woman. RIP Queen

Ella, Rochedale South

FOLLOW US ON f TO SHARE YOUR THO

Although I watched very little of the proceedings around the procession, I have come away moved and inspired. The love and loyalty of the British people to their late Queen is not only touching but brings back my own best memories of Britain (and Scotland). I feel that so long as British people keep this animating spirit alive, they will have little to fear. It speaks to Queen Elizabeth’s character that just two days before her death, she was up and appointing a new government.

It also speaks to the role of her office that this gives a sheen of legitimacy to one more of a series of oft-piratical premierships. I can only say, I’m happy she was there, and I do hope the new British PM lives up to the expectation placed upon her. I already had a good opinion of Prince Charles, so there’s little to say there except he lived up to it.

I’m sad and I filled up with tears when the news broke. She’s the only monarch I’ve ever known.

She had a grace about her. She was loved by so many people all over the world.

People say she was rich and undeserving of her title but she was OUR Queen and she devoted her life to her duties and served her people. May she rest in peace and long live King Charles III.

Felicity, Beenleigh

I do not think about British royalty much, but I admit I am a little sad about her death. I do not like the idea of monarchy unless I get to be queen, but for real I think she was a good queen and a good person.

I think she is probably having tea with Betty White. Poka Poka!

Kitty, Waterford West

Dimitris, Jimboomba

I have developed an especially soft spot in my heart for this little woman in the bright outfits and the funny hats. She has to be one of the most dedicated, dutiful, intelligent, wise and strongwilled monarchs ever to grace the face of the earth.

Patrick, Loganholme

facebook OR INSTAGRAM OUGHTS iN OUR NEXT ISSUE

Well, no matter how you feel about her or the monarchy, there’s no denying that it’s the end of an era. After all, for everyone under 75 or so, she’s the only monarch we’ve ever known. Her death marks the end of a long and full chapter in the royal family’s history.
