Main Streets Project to link residents to information superhighway

project to help capture as many images as possible of Tamborine Mountain’s Main Street will have spin-off benefits for the community, connecting more residents to the information superhighway and providing the opportunity to explore new horizons. The Main Streets Project, to be launched at the Tamborine Mountain Library today, aims to help people update their computer skills and improve their digital literacy while helping to build a detailed picture of the centre of community life, Main Street. Funded by the State Government and the Scenic Rim Regional Council, the project provides an opportunity for people to become more involved with community activities and regular library events by updating existing skills and learning new ones. “It’s open to anyone interested in improving their digital skills,” said Branch Librarian Raylene Jensen. “It will be particularly valuable for elderly people who either don’t have access to the internet or do not access it regularly.” With iPads at the Tamborine Mountain Library, participants will be taught how to take photos with a digital device, scan photographs, edit videos and use Google maps, as well as create a Facebook account and access social networking sites. An important secondary outcome during the project will be the creation of an enriched digital map of the mountain’s Main Street to which the community can, over a period of time, contribute their favourite photos, stories, news clippings and any other items of interest. “We are hoping that different groups in the community will contribute photos and stories during the training sessions,” said Raylene. Boonah and the Lockyer Valley towns of Laidley and Gatton are also providing residents with the opportunity to connect with their communities and technology through the project.

Japanese costumes and songs were chosen by these students and their mentors who performed at Winter Holiday Club’s internationally themed concert.

Winter Holiday Club warms the spirit

T was wet, cold and bleak outside but nothing could dampen the enthusiasm of the 112 children who attended the Winter Holiday Club at the Tamborine Mountain Presbyterian Church Hall. The club – now in its 20th year – provided a packed program of activities including music, craft, drama, and Bible studies, and ended with a concert in which teams dressed in various national costumes presented songs from the countries they represented. Pastor Kim Dale said his one regret was that the week-long club was so popular that some children had to be turned away because there were not enough resources nor space to meet the demand.

“Two things about the camp struck me,” he said. “ The behaviour of the kids could not have been better, while the efforts of the 18 young adults who volunteered to help out in various capacities during the week was outstanding.” Most of the young helpers had attended Winter Holiday Clubs as primary school students, and Pastor Dale said it was wonderful to see them helping the current group of youngsters. “We also had the generous assistance of seven school teachers who volunteered their services, as well as our usual group of dedicated church members,” he said.

ANY Tamborine Mountain residents will be saddened to hear of the recent passing of Joan Rands-Trevor. Joan, 69, was for seven years the familiar face behind the counter of the Eagle Heights Bakery, where she worked side-by-side with her son, Philip Rands-Trevor. She passed away suddenly and peacefully early on the morning of June 28, and was remembered at a funeral service at Nerang on Friday. Philip described his mother as a very spiritual person and said that while her job could be quite stressful she always maintained an outer calm. “Mum taught me everything I know about baking and customer service, so I feel like it will be her continuing to work through me,” said Philip, who will keep operating the bakery at Eagle Heights. Joan had migrated to New Zealand from Manchester in England and moved to Australia in 1979. She had worked at a Brisbane bakery for 10 years before moving to Mount Tamborine. As well as her son Philip, Joan leaves a daughter, Karen Rands-Trevor.

Alice takes her audience to wonderland

UDIENCES could not help but be captivated when In Your Face Productions presented Alice at the Zamia Theatre last week. Based on a play by James de Vita, which was inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland sequel, Through the Looking Glass, Alice transported audiences to the magical chessboard world dominated by the red and white king and queen. All 11 players in the production were

aged between 10 and 17, and had spent most of the school holidays learning their lines and rehearsing for four daytime performances last week. Drama teacher Margie Turner was justifiably proud of the efforts of the young cast who had only a few weeks to prepare for their parts. “We had a great response, with people saying how amazing and professional they were,” she said.

Nina strides out

HE school holidays have been a lot of hard work for Nina Brooks who has been preparing to run in the State Athletics Championships at the weekend. Nina, a Year 5 student at Tamborine Mountain State School, will compete on Sunday in the two-kilometre cross country event in Cairns, where she will be cheered on by her proud family. The school’s age cross country champion, Nina represented Tamborine at the district and regional titles where she won a place in the state championships.

TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN NEWS VOL. 1331, JULY 10, 2012 – 3

I am the Light of the World Dear Geoff, One of the major themes in the Gospel of John is that Jesus comes to this world not as a regional or national saviour to inspire and lead his people to greatness on the world stage; but that he comes to this world to build a kingdom that transcends national boundaries and political powers. One small example of this is myself. I am not of Jewish blood but Jesus was. I was not brought up with any relationship to, or understanding of, the Old Testament background of Jewish history and culture, but Jesus was. Yet I am now ‘closer’ to him than any other person who has lived in this world. He has given me (and all believers) his Spirit, the Spirit of Sonship. He has brought me into his family in which I know God as my Father. All this (and much more) is given freely to those who believe, whether Jew or Gentile. In one Old Testament passage we see this aspect of the work of Christ anticipated by the prophet Isaiah when, speaking of Jesus who is yet to come, he says, “It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth.” Isaiah 49:6 Jesus is himself aware of his working salvation for the Gentiles. There are numerous passages in the New Testament where he specifically engages nonJewish people so that they will put their trust in him as their saviour. It wasn’t just a hiccup of history that so many people from so many countries, nations and ethnic origins have embraced Christ as their Saviour. This is how God has planned it from ages past. Jesus himself said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12

UNE and July are our two coldest months. This June was also a very wet one which made for a rather unpleasant month. The month started with a wet spell from a trough and upper atmosphere low which produced about four inches across the Mountain. A low off the east coast produced four wet days from the 9th. Then on the 26th two lows from the NW merged and turned into an East Coast Low as the southern end reached the coast. This produced another four inches at the end of the month. Total rainfall at Fern St of 213mm was well above the expected of 51mm and the average of 99mm but this total has been exceeded at least 12 times before. Mike Russell 5545 3601

Readers are reminded that letters to the editor must show full name of writer for publication. Dear Editor, Wanted – Photographs of Franklin Creek To assist in their response against Commercial Water Extraction in Power Parade the residents’ group would appreciate any photos taken of Franklin Creek (Mount Tamborine) in the past 20 years or so. If

your readers have or know of any such photos could they please contact me on jpeat@bigpond.com or 55451940 to arrange for copies to be made? With thanks, Jennifer Peat

Dear Past and Present Editors, George and Eve, Lisa and Gary and their respective staff: ‘Are you being served?’ asks Mr Peacock and ‘You’ve all done very well’ says Mr Grace. We thank both teams; one that did well and the new one about to serve. The media – printed, spoken, electronic, runner bearing a message stick, or beaten out

on a drum – is the corner stone of freedom of speech, a freedom which continues to cost many people dearly. People often ask why the Tamborine Mountain folk express their views so strongly. The simple answer is, because we are kept well informed by our two Mountain newspapers which we get for FREE. Ian R. Milton

Former Muslim fundamentalist speaks out HE social implications of the growth of Islam in Western nations provided for a thought-provoking presentation by former Muslim fundamentalist, and now Christian evangelist, Dr Daniel Shayesteh, during his visit to Tamborine Mountain. As a member of Hezbollah, Dr Shayesteh was deeply involved in the movement that ousted the former Shah of Iran in 1979 and brought Ayatollah Khomeini to power. He later became disillusioned with political developments in Iran, and was sentenced to death for speaking out against the regime.

After escaping to Turkey, Dr Shayesteh met a group of Iranian Christians, and subsequently became a Christian. During his teaching sessions at the Tamborine Mountain Presbyterian Church, Dr Shayesteh spoke of the reasons for his conversion to Christianity. He migrated to Australia in 1991 and now lives here with his wife and family. Dr Shayesteh’s two day visit to the Mountain was supported by the Ministers’ Fraternal and he also preached at the Presbyterian Church’s Sunday morning service.

EXPERIENCE, ADVICE and REAL VALUE FOR MONEY!

ASTE not, want not, our grandmothers used to say. So they took the abundance of their kitchen gardens and made jams, sauces and pickles and they bottled fruit and vegetables. But today, with supermarkets and fast food outlets just round the corner, most of us have no idea how to preserve food except by putting it in the refrigerator and hopefully getting round to eating it before its use-by date. Yet home preserving has many advantages. It saves money because you can buy produce in season and preserve it while it’s cheap, fresh, and flavourful. You know what’s gone into your food and so can therefore avoid preservatives and allergens. And home preserves make wonderful gifts that share the bounty of the harvest all year round. If you’ve ever wanted to try home preserving but have no idea where to begin or how to ensure the preserved food is safe, now’s your chance to learn. The Sustainable Tamborine Mountain group (aka Transition Tamborine Mountain) is hosting a preserving workshop on 14th July. The presenter, Valerie Pearson of Green Living Australia, is very engaging and highly experienced. She will give a practical demonstration of the different

types of food preserving and how to preserve both high and low acid foods. Val will also have on display examples of all the equipment needed to safely process and store fresh fruits and vegetables. (Note: she can supply new lids suitable for preserving that fit your recycled storebought jars!)

Abou the TM Heritage Centre windmill

INDMILLS are tireless sentinels with the wind in their face standing guard over precious water supplies. They are as Australian as Hills Hoists and Kangaroos having graced the rural landscape for over a century. As steam power developed, the uncertain power of the wind became less and less economic. They did experience a brief heyday during and after World War II due to the lack of fuel, electricity and other means to run machines. We are left today however with a tiny fraction of these elegant structures that once extracted power from the wind. They remain today as an historic, and certainly very photogenic, reminder of a past technological age. At the Historical Society Heritage Centre we have what is believed to be one of the very few if not the the only one on public exhibition on the mountain. We are fortunate to know of its history and how it came to end up at the centre. In 1978 it was installed at the former Waring’s property at 81 Beacon Road where it happily pumped water until 1994 when it was donated to the Historical Society. Of its original 30 foot height, 20 feet was relocated, the lower 10 feet remaining on the property to serve as an elevated platform for water storage. It was quiet a project to dismantle,

transport and reassemble the mill. Work was completed in March 1994. Records show there was much discussion as to its location. The final resting place near the front fence was chosen as an ‘attention getter’ to help re-emphasise the dependence of our local community on underground water. Still the most valuable asset on Tamborine Mountain. Tony Smallwood

A milestone – Higgs-Boson and Higgs field

OR many years two teams of physicists have worked independently to hunt for an energy field called the Higgs field and its byproduct, a mysterious, elusive elementary sub-atomic particle called the Higgs-Boson which were both first described in 1962 by Peter Higgs, a Scottish physicist at Edinburgh University. To understand this theory we have to consider the properties of matter. Everything is composed of matter, which we can split into smaller and smaller particles, into molecules, then atoms, then sub atomic particles, electrons, hadrons (protons and neutrons), quarks until we reach an elementary particle. The study of the constituents of matter and their dynamics is called particle physics which is summarised by a theory called the Standard Model. Although we tend to think of these elementary particles being somehow stuck together to form matter, this is inconsistent with modern quantum theories. According to these theories elementary particles, instead of clumping together, would have zero mass and would fly around the universe at the speed of light and behave like light photons. However we know from observation that the elementary particles combine into matter which has mass. To explain the origin of mass Peter Higgs developed a theory that an invisible energy field stretching throughout the universe switched on after the Big Bang, and that the interaction between particles and this field causes particles to drag, slow down and bind together to form matter with mass and weight. However light particles

(photons) are not effected by the field and consequently do not have mass. This field was named the Higgs field in honour of Peter Higgs as was the Higgs-Boson, a particle that is a byproduct of the Higgs field. To prove the existence of the theoretical Higgs field and Higgs-Boson it was necessary to create conditions that mimicked a microcosm of the time immediately after The Big Bang. A huge particle accelerator was built 100 metres underground in the European particle laboratory in Cern, near Geneva; this is called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In the LHC particles were accelerated for almost two years around a 27 kilometre ring at almost the speed of light. 1,000 trillion collisions between particles smashing into each other at such high speed eventually produced a flash of energy which was detected as a Higgs-Boson particle. The particle is short lived and rapidly disintegrates into light particles; the presence of the Higgs-Boson particle was detected by its light traces. The particle had a mass of 125-126 Gev about 130 times the mass of a proton. This discovery is a milestone of scientific knowledge of nature; the all pervasive invisible energy field gives mass to matter. Without this field the universe, stars, planets and life as we know it would not exist.

POLICE NEWS by Constable Pete Blundell, North Tamborine Police

HE recent cold weather has made it a little difficult to get out of bed in order to start the 6am shift up here on the Mountain. However, as much as my aging body takes notice of the cold temps it was pleasing to observe (with a smile on my face ☺) that the other emergency services were up and doing their particular thing well before that time. The local fire officers had already attended a single vehicle crash on Tamborine Oxenford Rd in the area of the “Three Lanes” (which is technically in the Coomera Police division) early on the morning of July 3 and we gave a salute to the local ambulance crew as they passed us on Main Western Rd at about 7am on the same day. RADAR: Some motorists travelling on Tamborine Oxenford and Macdonnell Roads would have noticed the early morning police patrols being conducted in this area. I have been informed by Acting Sergeant Hargreaves that this trend is due to continue, so I implore motorists to adhere to the 60 km/hr signage in this area as the patrolling police vehicle will definitely have its mobile radar unit switched to the “on” position.

Over the school holidays motorists may also have noticed the increased police presence between Canungra, the Mountain, Springbrook and Numinbah Valley. Senior Constable Guerin and I were involved over this period in Operation Safe Ride which was organised to oversee the safe passage of motor vehicle traffic in these areas. Over a two day period at our particular site more than 1000 RBT tests were conducted and most disappointingly a number of persons were charged for drink driving offences between the hours of 12 noon and 5pm – drink driving is not just an after hours occurrence. A number of Traffic Infringements were also issued. Constable John Rowe says he thoroughly enjoyed his rotation on the Mountain and would like to thank all those he spoke with and had dealings with. Constable Rowe is now attached to Coomera Detectives so it is possible we will see him on the Mountain from time to time. We expect a new constable to be rostered on Tamborine Mountain in the not too distant future to replace John. Thanks John for your time and good work on the mountain over the last month or so.

WATCH COUNCIL

ITH a change of ownership of the Tamborine Mountain News, it will be very interesting to see what the future brings. There have been 54 years of continuous publication since the News appeared as Australia’s first A4 community newspaper. If the Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian have to take a new look at the needs and preferences of a changing society, it will not be surprising if we see differences at a community level. The News has a very proud record of keeping the community informed about the background to pressures to which residents are exposed. Such knowledge is half the battle in doing something about the problems. The ability of the News to provide an unbiased forum for community discussion accompanied by incisive editorial comment has been invaluable. Of course, there will never be agreement across the community (or may I whisper it, with Council) but overall the performance was impressive. The community owes much to those volunteers who have always put so much time and effort into getting the News out to the readers. It seems our present batch have worn out so thankyou to Gary and Lisa for picking up the torch. I have had two periods of writing a column for the News, and I have nothing but appreciation of the experience. I have never been part of the editorial staff but have never had any pressure to write about particular subjects or impose a particular slant. The choices have been my own and that freedom has been something really quite special in my attempts to prioritise presentation of factual information. Naturally, the editors kept a careful eye on my copy to make sure I didn’t overstep and cause the legal eagles to descend but we have seen eye to eye on that. Before my copy gets to the Editors, I have another hurdle to overcome and that is wife Pam. She makes sure I have actually said what I thought I was saying and that my grammar, punctuation and spelling are presentable. No doubt being a school teacher who in later years specialised in teaching children with learning difficulties has something to do with her success in that role. But let us return to the present world from those historical ramblings. First, I would like to give a pat of appreciation to our former Councils. They have been supportive of our local hangglider and paraglider pilots, recognising how much they contribute to the local ambience with their non-polluting sport and interaction with the forces of nature. I just regret my legs were too old when my opportunity arrived and had to be content to fly gliders with fixed wings, seats and skids or wheels. However, the local gliding could not have survived without the launch site and the emergency landing ground down the bottom to give somewhere to land if the intention to go cross country bombed out: therefore the usual

with

Phil Giffard

reference to the landing ground as “the bombout”. The Councils made an absolutely necessary contribution to acquiring these facilities. It may not be generally realised that some of our locals rate very well on the world scale. One is Jonny Durand of Beechmont who occasionally visits his parents there in between his far flung competitions in which he has achieved world champion status. In the last couple of days he may have even set a new world distance record in his hangglider in Texas USA, flying 761 kilometres in eleven hours. That is not a misprint! Even with some wind assistance it was a magnificent effort. On a less happy note, we may not have seen the last of Council's approval of the Application to increase the output of the quarry at Cryna in the south of the Shire, from 600,000 to 1,550,000 tonnes per year. The traffic impacts on Beaudesert and elsewhere would be horrendous even though the approval contains conditions aimed at lessening the problems. I have some concerns about the details of the approval process. There is no suggestion that any one has behaved improperly but there must be considerable care to ensure the procedure is correct. When one remembers the uncertainties still surrounding the Hyacinth development on Long Road, Council should have learned a lesson and be vigilant and self-critical in this respect. Of course, the big test in these financially difficult times will be when the new Council brings down its first budget. I suspect there will not be the rigid toeing of the line that we saw in the previous Council where Cr Swanborough was the maverick that had to be put down at all costs. It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall. One difficulty that will have to be faced is that the Chief Executive Officer apparently signed off on the Council Employees’ Enterprise Agreement in the period between the last meeting of the previous Council and the first meeting of the present. It apparently had delegated authority to negotiate and sign. I understand it provides a 3.5% increase for each year for the next three years compared to the 2.2% which the State Government believes is all that is affordable. The other interesting question will be the conditions to be applied when reducing staff numbers. We shall see. Regrettably, the Department of Transport and Main Roads continues to refuse to develop a competent traffic plan for Main Western Road from the looming roundabout to the Beacon Road intersection. The original plan was to have a continuous traffic island from the roundabout to the Beacon Road intersection, with no provision for a U-turn. Just think about that! The modified version now provides a break in the centre island opposite the entry to the parking for businesses on the eastern side of Main Western Road. Prominent on the plan is a sign that confirms U-turns will also be prohibited at this point. What a dangerous shemozzle!

ANCER Council is inviting schools and childcare centres across Queensland to show their true colours and Dress Yellow in support of Daffodil Day this August 24. Getting involved is easy, fun and a great way for students and the school community to help Cancer Council raise much needed funds to brighten the lives of all Queenslanders affected by cancer. This year, Cancer Council Queensland hopes to raise $1.9 million across the state to support its vital work in cancer research, prevention and support services. So why not show off your school’s spirit this Daffodil Day and help turn Queensland yellow! CCQ National Events Coordinator Simon Jacobs said it was easy to support Daffodil Day this August. “Schools and childcare centres can show their support by registering to hold a Dress Yellow day and asking staff and students to donate a gold coin to the cause. “Schools can also register to sell Daffodil Day merchandise, at reduced prices, and some schools are even growing their own yellow flowers that will bloom during the week of Daffodil Day. “Daffodil Day is a chance for all of us to grow hope for a brighter, cancer free future, so if yellow makes you happy, get involved today!” he said. Other ways schools and childcare centres can support Daffodil Day include: Hosting a yellow-themed art or colouring-in competition Making a field of paper daffodils in your classroom (you can download the pattern for free at www.daffodilday.com.au) Holding a yellow morning tea Decorating a concrete wall or path in your school with yellow chalk drawings Turning your classroom or school yellow with posters, balloons and other colourful creations This year marks 26 years of Daffodil Day in Australia, and more than 1200 volunteers across the state are needed to help sell 780,000 fresh daffodils and merchandise during August. You can register to volunteer, hold a Dress Yellow Day, order a merchandise box or donate by visiting www.daffodilday.com.au, calling 1300 65 65 85 or finding us on Facebook. The daffodil is the international symbol of hope for all those touched by cancer, including patients, survivors, supporters, carers, family and friends. Cancer Council Media Release

Educate children about fire danger

Much fanfare before Small Night Out

MALL Night Out is a big event at Tamborine Mountain State School, especially as this year’s first public performance by the school’s Junior Band followed the success of its Senior Concert Band in Fanfare. Fanfare is a biennial Queensland-wide festival of music showcasing the achievements of bands and orchestras within state schools. More than 125 ensembles from the Gold Coast, Logan and Scenic Rim competed at Fanfare, where adjudicators awarded gold to Tamborine Mountain State School’s Senior Concert Band. The 47 students from the school’s Years 6 and 7 classes comprise the largest band in the school’s history of instrumental music ever to perform. Conductor, Steve Broxton, described the gold award as an ‘outstanding achievement’ for the band. “It is a proud and rewarding achievement for our dedicated band students, the school as a whole, our wonderfully supportive parents and our local community,” he said. The audience at the recent Small Night Out concert in the school’s hall had a glimpse of what the adjudicators saw at Fanfare and of the standard the Junior Band can aspire to reach.

HE Queensland Fire and Rescue Service (QFRS) is urging parents to educate children on the danger of playing with fire for their safety and the safety of the wider community. QFRS South Eastern Acting Regional Manager of Rural Operations Fergus Adrian said vacant grassland was often seen to be a desirable area to light fires because it can appear low risk and out of public view. “With grassland in South Eastern Queensland drying out, a small fire can spread very quickly and without warning has the potential to threaten surrounding homes, other structures and even lives,” he said. Mr Adrian said if parents were concerned their child may have an unhealthy interest in fire they are urged to contact their local fire station and ask about the Fight Fire Fascination Program. Parents can view information on the Fight Fire Fascination program in the Community Safety pages on the QFRS web site www.fire.qld.gov.au “This program is designed to tackle the fascination with fire problem with young people and children and is based on education and development. “Firefighters visit children and their families at home during the program to promote awareness of fire safety and use a series of goals, objectives and rewards to stop fire fascination at an early age.” Further information on steps you can take to prepare your home for bushfire can be found at www.ruralfire.qld.gov.au .

Love Letters Across the Rim

ORE than 400 locals contributed to the community art exhibition Love Letters Across the Rim which opened at The Centre on the weekend. The exhibition, hosted by the Ethos Foundation, is the culmination of 18 months work by regional landscape artist Dave Groom, geo-artist John Jackson (aka the Rock Doctor) and writer Sally MacKinnon. “Love Letters Across the Rim is a community arts and ecology project that celebrates the love between the people and landscapes of the Scenic Rim region” Ethos Foundation coordinator and poet Sally MacKinnon said. “This joyful, arts-based process seeks to deepen the connection between our communities and the region’s landscapes through collective creative expression. Six large fabric banners were collectively painted during 2011 and 2012 at Arts in the Olives, BOSS’s World Environment Day Festival, School Science in the Scenic, Mt Barney Lodge Birdweek Festival, Murri Arts at The Centre Beaudesert and The Drumley Walk. These exciting projects engaged everyone imaginable from children as young as two years old right through to the elderly. A highlight of the project was collaborating with indigenous artists Derek Fogarty, Jarred Fogarty and Kim Williams to create the exceptionally beautiful painting Bugeram Chagun: Sacred Earth at Murri

One small place on earth Native orchid – Chiloglottis silvestris – The Knoll National Park

This exquisite native orchid looks like a Fabergé jewel. It is only a few inches high and was found by a noted orchid expert who alas, no longer lives on the mountain. The expert took me to Cedar Creek Falls and revealed a further five or six native orchids, though none quite so spectacular. I have since received some tip-offs about orchids growing in or at the edge of rainforest, but my orchid collection has all but come to a dead end. I am always grateful for tip-offs.

Who is the fastest in the land? TEST YOUR SPEED RIGHT HERE ON THE MOUNTAIN ELL Wimbledon may be over but that doesn’t mean the end of tennis. At Beacon Road on Saturday July 14th from 9a.m. you will have the opportunity to see just how fast you can serve a tennis ball? The linemen and lineswomen are ready, the umpire is polishing his chair and the man with the radar gun has been honing his skills ready to see who has the fastest serve on the mountain. For just a small fee you will have the chance to send down some tennis balls to see if you can match it with the big guns on the Pro circuit. You will receive a certificate which you can proudly display for all to see, or for the slower amongst us, hide in a drawer where no one will find it.

We are hoping Radar Man will be doing his thing at 10.30a.m. and 12.30p.m. We will also be selling raffle tickets for two hours free court hire on Pat Rafter Arena, a 5,000 seat stadium, home of the Brisbane International where such tennis greats as Lleyton Hewitt, Sam Stosur and Bernard Tomic have played.

Be careful when warming up this winter

HE Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) is asking residents to be careful when trying to warm up in the shower and bath this winter. QAS South Eastern Region Assistant Commissioner Peter Warrener said paramedics had reported occasions where they had attended to water scalding cases during winter as residents attempted to keep warm. “There’s nothing better than a nice warm shower or bath to warm you up on a cold day but the hot water can quickly become too hot and can cause horrific injuries,” Mr Warrener said. “Many Australian hot taps are set at 50 or even 65 degrees celsius which can be too hot for a lot of people to tolerate so it is advised that residents test the water before entering it. “It’s recommended that people pay particular attention when bathing babies and children to keep the temperature of the water around 37 degrees.” Mr Warrener said it was vital vulnerable people such as the elderly or those with a disability were regularly checked on when showering to make sure they were okay. “As well as burn hazards from hot water, the bathroom also presents a number of slip hazards with either having the potential to occur very quickly. A regular knock on the door is all it takes to make sure loved ones haven’t come into trouble.

Mr Warrener said there were a number of steps people could take should they accidentally come into contact with scalding hot water. “If the situation is serious or life threatening, it is always best to call Triple Zero (000) immediately,” he said. “Children with burns to their hands or feet particularly need urgent medical attention as the skin can constrict, especially in these areas and cause further damage. “Apply cool running water to the burn site, don’t apply an ointment or ice because this can make the burn even worse and cause greater pain to the patient. “Don’t attempt to clean the burn either, just keep the cool water flowing over the site for 20 minutes or until paramedics arrive for further treatment.” Mr Warrener also said it was a great idea to learn first aid, not only to treat water burns, but a range of injuries. “The skills you learn from a first aid course can prove extremely helpful in emergency situations before paramedics arrive and can really save lives,” he said. Anyone interested in learning first aid can find out more about the courses QAS offers by visiting www.ambulance.qld.gov.au/firstaid/ . DCS Media Release

members was extolling his brilliance with the golf club, and telling all, how he alone had birdied the 7th hole (he hit all the best shots out of 12 including the putt) but the crowd was drawing restless after about the ten minute mark and adjourned back to the bar. Leaving Rod Schulte talking to himself. Err sorry Rod! News of Katie Hewitt doing the same but twice on holes 7 & 16 were revealed later, only to a dwindling audience. You were lucky enough to win a ball if your team had 57.58 or better. Among the winners of nearest the pins were Dave (Twinkle Toes) Strong, John (Brabham) Young, Carl Pearce, Kaleb O'Bree and Paul (Lover Boy) Burgess.

9 Hole Twilight Event Thursday 21st June Only one week before the big final, which I believe is closely contested and any number of master golfers are in the running. I use the word master quite loosely here, nobody, and I repeat, nobody ever get's the better of a golf course. That's what makes it so frustrating and at the same time so mesmerizing. Ask Roger Way or Tony Murphy who this week both finished atop the pile on 23 points, Roger winning on a countback, will both tell you the same. Probably next week sitting around after their round scratching there heads saying "where did all that sweet timing, that perfect balance, that indefinable feel go to?". Ray Smith who showing some form, 3rd on 21 points made up the place getters. Jimmy Dunn won the approach and Roger also took out nearest the pin. Tuesday 26th June

Ladies Golf

18 Hole Stableford Event Thursday 21st June Young David Koureas returned and took all our money (gees Dave give us a go) on 38 points from Roger Way on 36 followed by Anton Wernerkinck 35 on a countback from Martyn Haynes. All these guys are showing great form in the run up to next weeks big final, can they keep it going? Nice to see the "Number 2" whinger out there, Gaven McConnell, who hit a nice shot on 14 to take the nearest the pin while David Koureas took out the approach on 12. Monthly Medal Stroke Event Sat 23rd June Monthly medals are always the most hotly contested event on the calendar, when one has to grit the teeth and count ALL the shots, some of us just can't take the pressure and our game goes to water, others seem to bathe in the intense competition. And so the winner of A grade Maurie Payne with a very nice nett score of 68 from Martyn Haynes 69 on a countback. Jono King had the best nett score of the day 67 to have the winning score in B grade from the old stalwart Lawrence Richardson on 69. Little "Twinkle Toes" Dave Strong blasted his way to the C grade winner with a very nice 70 nett from Bruce 'Bomber" Brown 71. Winner of the ladies Di Lilley from Mizzzz Katy "Sluggo"Hewitt.If you scored 73 or better you won a ball. 9 & 18 Hole Competitions Thurs 28th June Owing to not so beautiful weather the course was closed and no competitions were held. By the time you read this the annual competition for the champion of the 9 holer event will be over being played on Thursday 5th. Good luck to all. 4 Person Ambrose Event Saturday 30th June If you don't play golf this event is played with a team structure of four. The best shot is taken from the tee, and each member takes a shot from that position, this format is followed for every shot until the hole is completed. The team of Brett Clisby, Rod Schulte, Robert Bull and Damien Jennings won the day with a gross score of 61 (par 70) and a nett score (after handicaps are deducted) of 55.75. The team of Fred Erickson-Miller, Darren McLarnon, Brian Allan and Ian Miller came home a distant second on 57.5. After the game, one of the winning team

CRIME PREVENTION INITIATIVE Turning the Screws on Crime When a number plate is stolen it can quite often result in great inconvenience to the victim. We are offering to supply and fit, FREE of charge, one-way screws to secure number plates of patrons’ vehicles. When this type of screw is fitted it makes the removal of the number plate very difficult, deterring theft of number plate.
