T here is a fabulous local community organisation called ‘Knitting for Brisbane’s Needy’ - I guess you’re

thinking if it’s got Brisbane in the title how local can it be?

Well while Brisbane is in the title, the group is made up of 400 volunteers that knit and crochet for people in need throughout the state – and the most amazing thing is the group was started by a Glass House Mountains local Karen Croke and a couple of her friends.The group has been established since 2006 and is still going strong. However as is the challenge with all community organisations, they are always looking for additional funds.

And before you start thinking that I’m going to ask you to make a donation – my request is simple. It won’t cost you a cent and could see Karen and Knitting for Brisbane’s Needy $11,000.00 better off.Sound too good to be true? Well, all you need to do is go to the Heritage Bank Facebook Page and ‘like’ it then you head over to their box called ‘Volunteer of the Year’. Once you click on that, all you need to do is go to View all, you’ll see that Karen is number two in their top 10 – then give her your vote.So simple and yet it could make a big difference to Karen!

An $80.7 million pledge from the Federal Government for an upgrade to the Bruce Highway was announced in Parliament last week.The capacity of the Bruce Highway to handle the ever increasing traffic flow north and south, has long been a topic of local consternation.Over the years, many have made pleas to a succession of State and Federal governments to upgrade the highway and continue triple-laning each side of the highway right up to the Sunshine Coast, as well as to improve the safety of intersections and feeder roads.Disappointingly, most of these requests received have never been successful. However, a glimmer of light has arisen over Wild Horse Mountain, with Local Member for Fisher, Peter Slipper again raising the issue last week in Federal parliament, but this time receiving some welcoming news.Mr Slipper asked the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Mr Anthony Albanese to report to the house on what the Government is doing do upgrade the Bruce highway, prompting the Minister to commit to an $80.7 million pledge.In response to Mr Slipper’s question, Mr Albanese said the government has agreed to provide the funding to replace the existing Roys Road and Bells Creek Road intersections with a new interchange, the first stage in the targeted upgrade of the Bruce Highway between Caboolture and Caloundra.

Black spots get a make-over

“The project which will extend Roys Road to the new interchange which will include a bridge across the Highway, and on and off ramps will get underway by the middle of this year.“Ten people have lost their lives on this two-kilometre stretch of the Bruce Highway since 2002—I have had representations from the member for Fisher, as well as other community members, about this—and this is why it is important for this funding to proceed,” said Mr Albanese.No schematics were given which would explain how Roys Road would be re-routed north to the new intersection.And no explanation was made as to how this would impact upon the access for residents living down Bells Creek Road and Roys Road east of the highway.

By Greg Brown

The Roys Road intersection to be upgraded

The doors of the Big Mower at Beerwah remained closed last Thursday as a mark of respect for long time employee Mark ‘Jacko’ Jackson aged 49.Mark had been missing since January 22 and sadly on Wednesday afternoon the police located his body in his vehicle at Kenilworth State Forest.The police have not treated the death as suspicious. Mark was from Maroochydore, but has worked at the Big Mower for 31 years, so was known by many in our local community.

Mark was a hard worker, who was always willing to lend a hand to help his mates or anyone in need. He loved a quiet beer and to share a yarn with his friends. He will be sadly missed by his family, friends, and all his work mates at the Big Mower.

Sad loss to our community

Thought of trying roller derby?The members of Coastal Assassins Roller Derby (CARD) will be coming together again for their annual Homegirls Hoe Down on February 23 and are keen to get some local spectators to come along on the day to South Pine Sports Club.The Hoe Down is a mix of fun and laughs, raffles, action and great sportsmanship and will give spectators a chance to check out the A grade players, such as HMAS Destroyher, Bandsaw Betty and Dollslayer, along with a great bout between B grade players.And while Roller Derby is definitely female territory, there will also be a Merby bout – Merby is derby for men which local Donna Cahill of Mooloolah (aka Piece Keepa) said is well worth a look.The Homegirls Hoe Down is a collaboration between four different leagues (CARD, Brisbane City Rollers BCR, Towoomba City Rollers TCR and Northern Brisbane Rollers NBR) giving profits to the Dee Dee Dainja Fund.Local Roller Derby chick Donna Cahill said Dee Dee Dainja is one of the founding members of the local league CARD and suffered a severe stroke at 28. She recently underwent brain surgery and came out fighting.“Dee Dee can no longer skate yet continues to support and give her time to the roller derby community.“Her ongoing treatment is expensive and the Hoe Down is one way for the derby community to give back to this amazing woman,” said Donna.The Sunshine Coast group started in December 2010 on the Sunshine Coast and now just a couple of years later they have 90 members.

And knowing how tough some of the Glasshouse Country Chicks are, you won’t be surprised to know that we have a number of locals that compete in Roller Derby.If you’ve seen it on television and thought it looked amazing, then why not head along on the day to see what all the fuss is about - after all roller derby is the fastest growing sport on earth.If you think the sport is for you, then you will want to find out all about the Coastal Assassins Roller Derby leagues ‘fresh meat’ intake that happens four times a year.The fresh meat training is a six week program to get you off your butt and rolling the track! No prior skating experience is necessary – as they also take on ‘raw’ meat.As far as training goes, there are two sessions per week – Freshies may skate on Thursday between 6.00pm - 8.00pm and there is a dedicated (compulsory) session for Freshies on Sunday afternoons 12.45pm - 2.45pm.To obtain more information about their fresh meat intakes please email the fresh meat officer at [email protected] find out more about the club you can also check out their website www.coastalassassins.com.au

Street artist needed By Lea Parkes

Community worker and artist Cathy Condon is on the lookout for a local street artist that would be able to help transform the Beerwah & District Youth & Community Centre (BADYACC) building into a vibrant work of art for the youth of Beerwah – embracing the culture, values and dreams of youth in the community.Cathy said because of the funding they had received from Sunshine Coast Council they would be able to offer paid work for an artist or artist and their crew to develop the design and complete artwork on three external walls of the building.If you, or someone you know, would be interested in expressing an interest in doing the work, photos and examples of work will need to be provided directly to Cathy.“As we want the building to become a community icon that reflects what is important to our young people, the successful artist would need a willingness to collaborate on designs for the project,” she said.Since Cathy started working at BADYACC – the centre has been undergoing a major makeover. So far the work has included both indoor painting and an outdoor street art mural on the front of the building. With this project the transformation will be complete.Doing the makeover to the centre is all about creating a safe and comfortable environment where young people can feel relaxed and happy to interact with others. The group also aim for the centre to be a source of pride for the area.If you would like express interest in the project or to find out more about it contact Cathy on 0407 761 749.

A week of highs and lowsThe Australia Zoo family have had a week of highs and lows with the birth of a baby rhino for first time parents Inyeti and DJ and the sad loss of Siam a gorgeous Asian Elephant that has lived at the zoo for the past 10 years.On Thursday, February 7 a second rhino calf for Australia Zoo - a beautiful baby girl arrived earlier than expected. According to Australia Zoo keeper, Renee Schier, mum and bub are making great progress.

“We’re very excited to announce that Inyeti, our southern white rhinoceros, gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. The calf is healthy, strong and weighs between 45 – 50kgs,” said Renee.Despite arriving a little earlier than anticipated, the rhino is showing all of the normal signs for a healthy calf.

“We’re really happy with her progress. She is already feeding and is quite active – she was walking within hours of the birth,” added Renee.At almost 60 years of age, Siam was the oldest elephant in Australia.She had spent the past decade living out a long and happy retirement at Australia Zoo alongside Bimbo and Sabu. On Monday evening Siam had been grazing in acreage at the back of the zoo with Bimbo and Sabu as she does every evening. Siam passed away suddenly from kidney failure and was found in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Due to Siam’s age, Australia Zoo had been monitoring her health, but there was no indication of any kidney problem.The Australia Zoo family loved Siam dearly. As the largest of their three Asian elephants, she was affectionate, cheeky and endearing. She will be sorely missed.

Community NewsFeeling the love for CWA By Lea ParkesThe CWA ladies of Beerwah held a very tasty morning tea last Wednesday just in time for Valentine’s Day at their rooms in Simpson Street.The sweet and gorgeously packaged homemade treats were a big hit with the local business people and plenty of other locals who dropped in for a cuppa.The CWA ladies would like to thank everyone that came along and supported them. The funds raised on the day went to the QCWA Disaster Fund and the raffle was won by Tam from Video Ezy.Beerwah CWA President Donna-Kay Donnovan said it was great to see the groups newer members enthusiastically taking up the fundraising cause.Early last year the Beerwah CWA was struggling for membership and GCNews helped them put the word out to encourage local ladies to become involved. They now have nine active members and they are hoping to attract more.Donna said, “there are quite a few younger members now who are stay at home mums – so they bring their little ones along to the meetings - which has definitely added a new dimension to the group.”Jade Dixon who is one of group’s younger members said she loves baking – and the CWA is a perfect way to be able to bake and then share her goodies with others.They currently have their meetings on the first Monday of the month from 9.30am at their rooms on Simpson Street, and have decided that following their monthly meetings they will be having informal craft sessions where you can bring along any type of craft that you do and work on it there.If you would like to see the ladies in action you will be able to see them at

the Peachester Hall on February 23 when they will be doing the catering for the Peachester CWA ladies Village Markets.And as you would expect with their younger membership, they also now have a Facebook page that you can like and keep up to date with what they are doing, just search Facebook for QCWA Beerwah.

Social Media classesMorris House Neighbourhood Centre still have some vacancies for our Social Media classes. These classes cover such topics as Facebook, Skype, editing and sending photos via mobile phone or e-mail, scanning and using other devices such as tablets.Please call 5494 1258 for all enquiries and bookings, or call at Morris House between 9.30am - 1.00pm Monday to Friday. The costs are very reasonable. Basic computer knowledge is needed to do these classes.

Who are these lovely Debs?We were recently given this beautiful debutante ball pic that was collected for use in a back to Glasshouse Day a number of years ago. So we were wondering if any our readers would be able to identify who these gorgeous young ladies are and when the photo would have been taken? If you want to give us a ring on 5439 7445 or email [email protected] or you can call into the office at 16 Coonowrin Road, Glass House Mountains.

Are Headaches Robbing You of the Life You Deserve?Are recurring headaches controlling your life? Day after day of missing out on things, or just being miserable, irritable and looking much older than you really are? Recurring headaches are not normal!While headaches are terribly common, they are NOT normal. The normal condition of the human body is vibrant and healthy...not tired and painful! Pain is our body’s alarm system that something is wrong.So – if you often say “It feels like my head is in a vice”, or “I’ve had migraines since puberty” or “My neck and shoulders are always tight and tense” and you just want to go and lie down - then pay close attention now.Four major causes of headaches are dehydration, stress, food intolerance, and neck subluxations. And each of these causes has a path to relief. The most little known is neck subluxation.Can this help your headaches?Subluxation is the term chiropractors use to describe “dysfunctional” vertebrae in the spine. Upper neck subluxations very commonly cause “Cervicogenic Headaches”. This type of headache presents with neck stiffness and pain at the base of your skull, which can sometime radiate through to your eyes. Drugs can reduce the symptoms (turn off the body’s alarm) for a while, but they do not correct the cause – and the symptoms return.Many studies have shown the benefits of treating the neck subluxations of headache sufferers, including the Boline and Duke Studies. If you are having headaches something is wrong.Chiropractic is a safe and effective form of healthcare that treats a major cause of headaches, the Subluxation. Call Adjust to Life Chiropractic today to find out if your headaches are a good fit for our very successful Headache Relief Program.

The Thongathon collection has been continuing and we now have around 50 pairs of thongs – but we are still hoping for some more. We now have plenty of stationery and exercise books for the kids at the school, through the generous donations from Woolworths, Beerwah Print and Stationery and members of the public. Morayfield Cycles has provided a bicycle pump which we needed to fill the sports balls with air. And Trish at the Beerwah Recycle market has been fantastic providing donated clothing,

shoes, books, toys and lots more. I know just how much the Seaside community will appreciate these items and I really hope that I am able to source them a lap top for the school. If you would like to make a donation to the Thongathon, they can be dropped off at Wimberleys Hardware, Smileys Jewellery at Beerwah, and Glasshouse Country News – 16 Coonowrin Road, Glass House Mountains. Thanks so much to everyone who has helped out so far – and to those of you who still plan to.

The tripI recently travelled for nine months on a trip to celebrate my retirement at the end of 2011. My journey began in Brisbane on Australia Day 2012. I drove a Suzuki Grand Vitara and towed a Camel camper trailer. I made my way down the east coast as far as Batemans Bay, stopping at places like Fingal and Nelson Bay. From Batemans Bay I headed to Adelaide via Wagga Wagga and Mildura. Nearly three weeks were spent on Kangaroo Island and I then explored both the Yorke and Fleurieu Peninsulas before heading to the Eyre Peninsula and then across the Nullarbor.A mate had joined me in Adelaide and we had a great time playing the world’s longest golf course (over 1400km) which starts in Ceduna and finishes in Kalgoorlie. There are holes at each of the roadhouses across the Nullarbor – most of them very rough and tough, but it’s a fantastic experience!After visiting the south-west of WA – Esperance, Albany and Margaret River – I headed up the west coast. There were some wonderful places along the way including Kalbarri, Coral Bay and

Exmouth. After a week in Broome I made my way eastwards through places such as the

Bungle Bungles (Purnululu), Kununurra and Timber Creek and then spent a bit over a week in Katherine and Litchfield National Park. The journey continued to Mt Isa via Tennant Creek and Camooweal and then I turned north to Croydon via the Burke and Wills Roadhouse and ultimately to Cairns. I then spent a few weeks in beautiful places like Wonga Beach and Cooktown before the southward journey took me to Mission Beach, Hydeaway Bay, Cape Hillsborough and Bundaberg before I arrived back in Brisbane after nearly nine months and 33,000km.Highlights/Favourite PlacesAs you can imagine, these were numerous. Some of the outstanding ones were: Kangaroo Island, which is a wonderful place to see wildlife in all shapes and forms – I had a koala sleeping in the tree over my camp and a kangaroo inside my annex; the golf across the Nullarbor; a flight over the Abrolhos Islands off Geraldton; Kalbarri, a beautiful coastal town; swimming with a whale shark on the Ningaloo Reef off Exmouth; Cobbold Gorge which is a hidden jewel south of Georgetown; and Wonga Beach, the friendliest caravan park in Australia!Advice to others planning to travelMy two pieces of advice would be: be flexible – you never know when you will find a place where you want to stay longer (or leave sooner!); grab opportunities as they occur – you never know if/when you will pass that way again.

Conditions Please keep your letters under 300 words, your name, address and daytime phone number must be supplied. Letters must focus on issues and not be per-sonal attacks on individuals. Letters may be edited.

Share your views and winAt GCNews we love our readers to share their views on important issues in our local community, and to thank you for your efforts, we will choose one letter at random each month to receive a free ‘Family Pass’ to Australia Zoo. Please note that letters that contain personal attacks will not be considered. We want to find out what issues are important to you!

Difficult to believeJaylene Musgrave states in the February 6 issue of GCNews (letters to the Editor) that there is an increase in size of ‘semis’ and that there are triples using Coonowrin Road.It is very difficult to believe much of what she has to say because if you have a look at the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) website, you will see that the size of ‘semis’ has not increased for many years.As far as triple vehicles are concerned, they are not allowed to come any further east than Mitchell in Queensland let alone Coonowrin Road!Now don’t get me wrong, of course there is a problem, but most likely each one of us, either directly or indirectly, has used trucks at some stage in our building sites and road works as well as for our general highways and byways.Remember the complaints when there is a land slip or when potholes form after heavy rain? The problem is exacerbated by the swift increase in our population on our beautiful Sunshine Coast who all need housing and roads. Naturally, this causes an increase in the number of trucks.But, please do not attempt to pass on misinformation to others en masse. Please check your facts first!

Did you lose power in the recent wild weather?If like us you lost your electricity supply in the wild weather of Australia Day weekend, you may be entitled to a Disaster Recovery Payment by the government.If your principal place of residence was without electricity, water, gas, sewage services or another essential service for a continuous period of 48 hours you may be eligible for payments of $1,000.00 per eligible adult and $400.00 per eligible child in your household.All you have to do is call 180 22 66 or go to http://www.humanservices.gov.au/customer/publications/em046 and complete the claim form.Although the information sheet does not state Sunshine Coast Council area, when I rang I was told that even though we are not yet a registered area, if they receive enough calls from particular suburbs they will declare it a registered area.The officer I spoke to said that because we had experienced the power outage for more than 24 hours we are entitled to the payment.And that the more people who apply the more likely we would become a registered area. The website is a little confusing, but they are taking applications from any geographic location that was affected if you meet their criteria that is listed there. I rang on a Saturday as they are working seven days a week at the moment to process all the applications.That should help re-stock the fridge and freezer!

North Coast Rail DuplicationMany of your readers would know that I have long campaigned for funds to complete the North Coast Rail Duplication and even held my own MP Train Day with Minister Scott Emerson in mid-2011 to highlight the need for this project and to hear feedback first hand from regular commuters. Last month I did the trip again in order to get an update from travellers on their experiences and suggestions for improvements.Whilst the North Coast Rail Duplication was raised by commuters, most people understand the message that our Government is focused on rebuilding the state’s finances before committing to definite dates for construction projects of this scale. I gave them my commitment however that I will continue to work with the Minister and his Department to do whatever I can to deliver this project before the estimated 2031 timeline.There are some targets that I believe are more achievable in the short term, one of which is better communication methods with passengers regarding on-train delays. Feedback from commuters was that much angst could be avoided if delays could be explained in transit. This did not occur while on my trip where we

did experience delays, and I can appreciate the frustration this causes.Perhaps the most obvious and important factors for commuters utilising the Sunshine Coast line is the need to provide better am and pm peak hour express services. The last timetable review was implemented in 2011 and since then commuters have been voicing their disappointment at the removal of several express services from this timetable.I have provided the Minister with a formal submission on behalf of the Glass House community seeking assistance with timetable issues in the first instance. The community can be assured this is next on my agenda however it is possible that changes could still be some time ahead due to the ramifications such timetable alterations will have on the rail network as a whole.I will continue to provide feedback on this ongoing issue via my website – www.andrewpowell.com.au and would encourage those interested to sign up to my monthly eNewsletter.

New Year clean start for Peachester PlaygroupThis year began with all the Peachester Playgroup mums pitching in for a working bee clean-up of the shed, toys and grounds.What a great job done, we were so pleased with ourselves! So you can imagine that we have been quite disheartened this week when we arrived at Playgroup both Tuesday and Thursday to find each time damage to our retaining wall and red mud all over the paths and area where the children play.Our table that the children put their water bottles on was left out in the open to the elements, so is now all warped and swollen. The sandpit was all uncovered with food wrappers and rubbish left all over the place. And somebody had even allowed their dog to foul at the bottom of the children's slide and left it!We are always happy for the communities’ families to use our playground as it is not owned or maintained by the local council – but by us mums.But we do ask please can you put your rubbish in the bin by the gate and treat the playground with the same respect as our children do, they have so much fun and enjoyment there.We are all volunteers that help run and maintain the playgroup and grounds and we are trying our hardest to keep a good standard for all the families in Peachester to enjoy. Your support is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Tourism Talks with Jayne Wilson

Senior Tourism Consultant Glass House Mountains Visitor Information Centre

The Glass House Mountains Visitor Information centre is located at Settler's Rotary Park, Reed Street, Glass House Mountains and is open 9.00am – 5.00pm seven days a week.

Climbing Mt NgungunIt’s 5.30am on Thursday, January 17 and I’m standing at the base of Mt Ngungun looking at a bunch of extremely keen and eager people. These people are a bunch of enthusiastic volunteers from the Glasshouse Mountains Visitor Centre. I really wasn’t sure what to expect as this is the first time in my life I have come face to face with a mountain walk. Off I go and there are a couple in the group who have taken it a bit easier so we walk and talk occasionally stopping to catch our breath and take in the scenery.After about 40 - 45 mins of walking and a little rock climbing (nearer the top), I’m finally at the top and ‘oh my, what a view’. We sneak out onto the ledge to the right then head right to the tip of the mountain where the rest of the group has been waiting patiently for us. The 360 degree views are fantastic and although the morning is a little hazy we could see out to the coast, up the coastline north and south and across to Mt Beerwah and Mt Coonowrin. The mountains look amazing and from here almost blend together as one mountain.

After catching our breaths, chatting and congratulating each other on our fantastic morning’s work we start to descend the mountain – which I might add is a little easier than the trip up. Our return trip took us approximately 1.5 hours in length with a stop at the top. I could never have done this climb without the encouragement and guidance from this wonderful group of people, and climbing Mt Ngungun will help me with directing people as they come through the information centre.

Honey-filled GrevilleaOf the approximately 350 species of Grevillea endemic to Australia, this one caught my eye on our travels around Australia in 2007.Unlike the well-known Silky oak or the local Grevillea banksii this small prickly bush thrives in the harsh climate and nutrient-poor soils of inland WA.It was taken with a small Canon PowerShot A75 with a Shutter Speed of 1/160, Aperture

of f2.8. This brought the main area of interest, the flower, into focus while blurring the background. The colours were enhanced a little in Photoshop.

underutilised and I often wonder if groups or visitors to the hall and library take the opportunity to pause on the veranda before strolling across the bridge into our hidden gem of Turner Park and wetlands beyond.There’s work to be done in improving the access, facilities and plantings of Turner Park but it still remains a great park for young families and there’s also network of pathways to walk around. Have another look next time you visit the library or hall.While speaking of hidden gems, the range of workshops on offer at the library never ceases to impress me and they are all generally run for free. I recently picked up some flyers that had workshops ranging from healthy lifestyles and financial planning to sustainable living and writing blogs successfully. If you know any newcomers to the area make sure you introduce them to this part of Beerwah and I’d encourage everyone to join the library’s mailing list so you can find out about upcoming workshops.

Andrew PowellState member for Glass House

P: 5435 2013

The first Parliamentary session for 2013 focused on the experiences and recovery effort for many of the state electorates throughout Queensland. Members were encouraged to share the stories of people within their community who suffered at the hands of this natural disaster event. I would encourage you to visit my website www.andrewpowell.com.au click on About Andrew and select Speeches to read my contribution to the session. My speech allowed me to thank the people who assisted our community through this event and also personally acknowledge those who went above and beyond to assist residents in need. I was also able to relay some of the feedback provided by constituents on ways we could improve, should events like this happen in the future. All feedback is being collated and will be passed on to the appropriate Departments for consideration.

Sunshine Girls of Beerwah and GlasshouseThis lovely group of volunteer ladies are holding a fundraising event for the Rural Firies and would welcome any and all community support. A supper dance is being held on Saturday, March 23 at the Glasshouse Mountains Sports Club, 7.00pm for a 7.30pm start. For more information please contact Kay Farrell on 5493 0230 or 0409 071 007.

Visit - www.qld.gov.auThe latest release of Government information to the Government’s primary website – www.qld.gov.au was announced late last year. The idea behind this website is to provide a single point of access to Government information with topics such as consumer rights, bike paths and cultural activities. There are three new sections – Transport and Motoring, Your Rights, Crime and the Law and Recreation, Sports and Arts. Other sections have been updated including Parents and Families and Environment, Land and Water. Development of this site is part of the Government’s program to provide more convenient access to services for all Queenslanders while improving efficiency and reducing costs through the use of technology.

Mark McArdleState member for CaloundraP: 5491 2780

Over the past few weeks we faced a real test as a State; our coastline is still showing scars of ex-tropical Cyclone Oswald with metres of sand lost from our beaches, while residents continue to clean-up.The road to recovery will continue into the months ahead for some and there is no doubt it will be long, but out of the tragedy has come countless stories of residents pulling together to assist each other and big businesses chipping in to help where they could.The Mooloolah Valley IGA, like thousands of residents and businesses in the Hinterland, were left without power for days and with the potential to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of stock, Energex stepped up and provided the small business with a generator to keep them up and running until full power could be reactivated. This is a great example of community spirit and I commend Energex for helping out.As we continue to restore our great State, more funding has become available for local sporting and recreational clubs.Clubs across the Coast are eligible for grants up to $25,000 under the Sport and Recreation Disaster Recovery Program, to replace much-needed equipment and repair clubhouses and grounds.Grassroots sporting and recreation clubs are the backbone of the Caloundra community and the Newman Government is committed to ensuring they’re able to get back on track as soon as possible.The one-off funding grants can be applied for from Sport and Recreation Service Centres, at www.nprsr.qld.gov.au or by calling 1300 656 191.Applications will remain open until Friday, May 10.Finally, I have begun fundraising for Ovarian Cancer Australia as a part of Ovarian Cancer month. I have set myself a goal to raise $1,000.00 and I need your help with a donation, big or small. Please visit my fundraising page now: http://2013AfternoonTeal.gofundraise.com.au/page/MarkMcArdlesAfternoonTealEvery little bit helps to reach my target of $1,000.00.So please dig deep for this great cause and help make a difference.Thank you for your support.

Senior MomentsSenior Moments

All about aged careBy Lea ParkesFor those looking to the future and trying to understand how it all works, it can be quite confusing!Speaking to Chris Minetti the Village Manager at Embracia in Glasshouse Country, she explained that the terminology these days is different, and you need to make sure you understand what it means so that you can plan ahead.Traditionally what might have been known as a nursing home – is now called an aged care facility. Within that facility, a range of different types of care may be provided depending on the individual client’s requirements.The aged care facility offers 24 hour a day nursing and personal care, with options for low care, high care, palliative care, memory support care (for dementia patients) as well as respite care.In the retirement village, residents live independently as part of a village made up of 24 individual two and three bedroom villas, along with its own stylish club house, heated swimming pool and barbeque areas.The village will eventually incorporate 73 villas over a number of stages; it is a boutique establishment which is designed for residents who are over 60.

“One of the benefits to the village residents is that if they need an increased amount of care as they age they’re given priority placement at the Aged Care Facility – which gives them great peace of mind,” Chris said.It also means that if a couple moves into a villa and one of them needs additional care they can move into the Aged Care Facility and their husband / wife is basically just next door. They can still spend time together each day, but their physical care needs are taken care of by a health care professional.Throughout the conversation, Chris kept returning to the same point – that people need to think ahead and plan for how they want to spend their older years.Sadly, for many families when the time comes for their loved one to go into care, they are suddenly left with no choices. They are just stuck with what’s available – which does not always end in a great results both for the resident and their family.So if it is something you have been thinking about for yourself or for your parents, then give Chris a call. She would be more than happy to show you what is available right here in Glasshouse Country – you can call her on 5439 0511.

Invest wisely for retirementMany seniors are concerned with their investments and estates, and rightly so. These matters can cause serious financial problems and stress if not managed properly.Services that assist seniors in arranging retirement investments and estate planning are invaluable and easily accessible.A service that is a necessity for seniors across Australia is the National Information Centre on Retirement Investments Inc (NICRI).UnitingCare Community’s Seniors Enquiry Line field many calls daily relating to seniors and their investments or estates.The Seniors Enquiry Line staff direct them to or send them information about NICRI’s telephone service which has information to help seniors.“We get a lot of calls regarding financial information and NICRI has a general information brochure about their service and the information they can provide.We would like seniors to ring in to get this information brochure as it will answer a lot of questions that concern them and help lift the veil around some information that can be hard to find or hard to know who to ask about,” said Julie Argeros, Seniors Enquiry Line Coordinator.The National Information Centre on Retirement Investments Inc (NICRI) is an independent organisation funded by the Australian Government.NICRI provides a free independent source of investment information for consumers and works at arm’s length from Government and the financial services industry.Seniors Enquiry Line is a direct link to all of this vital and important information for seniors.It is a service that seniors, their family or carers can access to acquire information about their needs or the needs of those seniors they care for.Seniors can call Seniors Enquiry Line on 1300 135 500 to request a NICRI information brochure be sent to them.

Noticeboard

Conditions To ensure all community notices can be printed each month please keep your contributions to a maximum of 100 words.

The other night a couple of mates and I were sitting out on the back deck feeding the mozzies, talking about the challenges of being a bloke today. Many of us didn’t have the best role model in our fathers, which makes it even harder to know what’s expected of us as husbands, fathers, and godly men in every other aspect of life. One of the problems we discussed is that we don’t actually have a rite of passage that officially initiates us into manhood. Other cultures have all sorts of weird and painful ceremonies: Vanuatu-Land Diving, Ethiopia- Naked Cow Jumping, an Amazon Tribe named the Satere-Mawe wears a woven glove lined with bullet ants for 10 minutes to become a man!When I look back over the first few years of marriage, I can see the line was still blurred between whether I was a man or not. Even though I now had a wife and was purchasing our own home, I spent more time on the play station than doing anything for anyone else.

Paul said in his letter to the Corinthians, ‘When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.’ I’ve seen 40-year-olds that haven’t done that yet. Jesus also called Peter to kick it up a notch in his calling to be a man of God, naming him ‘The Rock,’ that the new church would be able to count on him as a stable, secure leader with strong character and faith.Are you that man for your family? Can our wivescount on us to be our family’s security and strength, or are we too self-absorbed and immature to be the men that our society needs us to be?Tough conversation I know, but one worth having between us blokes.Bless you, see you in church!

Event organiser Alicia McNamara (centre) with Sue and Mal Brough

Last Saturday the Wah Bah at Beerwah Hotel was full of young (and young at heart) people who were there to support Beerwah local Alicia McNamara with her ‘Floodraiser 2013’ event. Alicia set herself a goal of raising $2,000.00 to go to the Red Cross Flood Appeal and the RSPCA.When she did the final count and realised that they had raised a combined total of almost $2,500.00 she definitely had a very big smile on her face.

Growing Bromeliad plants indoorsBromeliads are excellent indoor plants. They have colorful, long-lasting inflorescence (flowers) and some have brilliantly colored foliage as well.Bromeliads also readily adapt to the unfavorable growing conditions that exist in most homes.Although many bromeliads are epiphytic, living on branches and trunks of trees or on rocks in their native habitat, most can be grown in containers.Clay and plastic pots are equally satisfactory as containers unless the plants are large, in which case the heavier clay pot is more stable. Because plastic pots retain moisture longer than clay pots, plants grown in the former need watering less frequently than those in the latter.Epiphytic bromeliads can also be grown in perforated plastic baskets and clay pots like those used for other epiphytic plants such as orchids.Because bromeliads rarely have extensive roots, relatively small pots are adequate for most plants. Terrestrial plants do not have to be moved into larger pots until their roots completely fill the current container. Move young epiphytes into pots one size larger every spring, however, until the maximum convenient pot size has been reached.Some epiphytic bromeliads, such as the gray-scaled Tillandsia, grow poorly if planted in a conventional potting mixture. They grow best in a mix such as tree-fern bark, cork-oak bark, or on a tree-fern slab, or pieces of wood.To mount a plant on one of these materials, wrap the base of the plant (including roots, if any) in sphagnum moss, and tie the wrapped base to its support by winding plastic-coated wire around the moss and the supporting material. Fasten the ends of the wire firmly but in such a way that it can be easily untied. Hang the mounted specimens in a convenient place. Spray the sphagnum moss and plant with water frequently enough to prevent complete drying of the moss.After supportive roots grow over the sphagnum moss and around the mount, remove the temporary wire. To keep the plant alive and healthy, water the plant, its roots, and the supportive materials twice weekly throughout the year. Water can be applied as a spray or the entire mounted plant can be submerged in water for a few minutes. The humidity around plants will influence their need for water. The humidity in a home which is heated during the winter months or cooled with air-conditioning during the summer months can be very low and plants may need to be watered more frequently than those grown in a moist environment.

Bromeliad BeautyContributed by The Glasshouse Country Bromeliad Society Inc

Glasshouse Country Bromeliad Society’s next monthly meeting will be Sunday, March 3, at the Mary MacKillop Centre, Peachester – Beerwah Road, Beerwah, starting at 2.00pm. For more information please contact President Pat Pennell: 5438 7375.

Go Green Rainforest Nursery Plant of the Week

Bottlebrush ‘Pink Alma’Callistemon viminalis cultivarIn flower right now all over the coast is a multitude of amazing Melaleuca (previously Callistemon) cultivars. The beloved ‘Bottlebrush’ has been a favourite in Aussie gardens for a long time and one of the best is ‘Pink Alma’. It forms into a dense bushy shrub that grows approximately 2.5m x 2m, providing great habitat for small birds. But it is its profusion of bright pink nectar laden flowers that draws the attention of humans and nectar loving birds. Our specimen in the nursery grounds is exploding with colour. The new flush of pink/red growth is also very attractive. It is very hardy and can handle a damp spot in the yard. This really is an excellent screening shrub that is loved by many species of birds. We recommend pruning after flowering to promote a bushy shrub with lots of flowers.

Great trees for Glasshouse CountryLate last year, I started my campaign to highlight wonderful larger trees that people with bigger blocks of land can plant and leave as future ‘legacy trees’.Here’s another for you to think about planting this weekend – buying and planting a tree for someone is a great late Valentine’s Day present … a mark of your eternal love for someone, and a good way to get yourself out of the doghouse for forgetting last Thursday.

African Sausage treeThe African Sausage tree (or Kigelia africana) is one of those great conversation-starter trees. Plant one and once it flowers and fruits, complete strangers will stop and ask you “what’s that tree mate?”It’s the long sausage-like seed pod that gives the tree its name and its place as one of the most peculiar specimen trees you can plant.Coming from tropical Africa, it is an uncommon tree to find, with a nice one easily seen at the Landsborough tennis courts and another at the Palmwoods lagoon.Not only are the fruits unusual, but it has large showy maroon flowers which are pollinated by bats at night.In Africa, the fruits are eaten by baboons, bush pigs, elephants, giraffes, hippopotami, monkeys; and the locals use it as a bush medicine.Take care as the roots can be invasive and it’s best not to plant the tree where you’ll be parking a car or sitting on a chair – as the seed pods can weigh up to 9kg.Next month I’ll bring you three more ‘Great Trees for Glasshouse Country’.

Beerwah Golf ClubContributed by Jenny KellyIt certainly is a case of ‘be careful what you wish for’. Although the rain is setting the course up nicely with green fairways and full dams, it makes enjoying the game at present a little difficult. Having said that, we still had 53 hardy souls come out on Thursday to play a Single Stroke event for trophies donated by Joan Harvey and Helen Thompson. Everyone got a bit wet, but that wasn't enough to put our Ladies Captain Lea Garner off and she came in with a great score of 74 Nett to win Division 1.Because our trophy donor Helen had to leave early, Sue Williamson presented Lea with her prize. Runner up to Lea was Lesley Eggleston with a Nett score of 75. Division 2 winner was Julie McMahon with a Nett score of 76, followed by Di Smith on 78 Nett. NTPs went to Libby Gemmell on 2, Grace Ferguson on 5, and Sonia Kenway took out both 16 and 18. The Ball Rundown went to 80.The Weekend Pennant game at Caloundra Golf Club was a wash out and has been re scheduled for May 12. We are hoping for a fine day next Sunday when we take on the team from Peregian Springs at Headland Golf Course.Until next week, stay safe and good golfing.

Alphabet descriptionAfter being married for 30 years, a wife asked her husband to describe her. He looked at her for a while, then said, "you're an alphabet wife A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K." She asks, "what the heck does that mean?" He said, "Adorable, Beautiful, Cute, Delightful, Elegant, Foxy, Gorgeous, and

Hot." She smiled happily and said "Oh, that's so lovely, but what about I, J, K?" He said, "I'm Just Kidding!" The swelling in his eye is going down and the dentist is fairly optimistic about saving his teeth.
