Hi everyoneMelbourne Cup Day was a huge blur of glamour as Sarah and I managed to snap off about 60 group photos of the glamorous ladies (and men) of Glasshouse Country in a couple of hours.Some of these images we have shared in the Out and About page and the rest of them are on our Facebook Page www.facebook.com/glasshouse-countrynewsIt was a fabulous day and everyone we spoke to at the Beerwah RSL, Beerwah Hotel and Club Glass House seemed to be making the most of the day – and with the effort people had taken to dress up, nearly everyone was happy to have their photo taken (this makes our job so much easier).The P&C from Beerburrum School were really happy as the event held at the Beerwah Hotel was also a fundraiser for the school with $5.00
from each ticket sold going to the school. This is an excellent initiative by the Beerwah Hotel, each year they allocate the funds to a different school.The next glamorous event for us to be reporting on will be the High School Graduations – yes at the end of next week it will be time for the Year 12s to say goodbye to their school days.So you can expect to see plenty more gorgeous photos after the Beerwah High and the Glasshouse Country Christian College events and if parents would also like to send in images please do, we will just need the names of the people in the photos.

Beerwah beckons Things are starting to happen in Beerwah. A new entry sign.Rumours that council has purchased a significant parcel of land in the centre of town for a possible ‘green heart’. The start of a $3.5 million project that will give locals the chance to help shape the growth and planning for the town.Last week, the finishing touches were put on a new welcome sign to the town, which features the iconic pineapple and which complements the region’s first signage installed at Glass House Mountains last year.The sign, made from precast concrete and recycled ironbark timber, was designed by Maleny artist Sarah Rayner.Cr Grosskreutz said the new sign is the start of a $3.5 million project for the town. The next stage is the roll out of the ‘Place +’ program, which kicks off this week.She said Council wants to find out what people love and value about Beerwah by gathering the thoughts, ideas and opinions of local residents, community organisations and businesses.
Council’s new ‘Place +’ program relies on strong community engagement and Beerwah is an important project using this approach. According to Council, it is about understanding the social and economic issues surrounding a place just as much as it is about functional and environmental issues. It is about acknowledging individual and community values in understanding the unique qualities of each place, before embarking on change. Those qualities include the physical environment, the history and culture as well as the community’s dreams and hopes for the future.Cr Grosskreutz said that as Beerwah’s population grows and it becomes a Major Activity Centre, it is vital to talk to the people who live and work and play in the town.“People connected to Beerwah are invited and encouraged to be involved in this project and to commit to working together over the long term, towards a positive future,” Cr Grosskreutz said.“The intent is for Beerwah to have prosperity and vitality, while retaining its strong sense of community.“Recent approval of several significant projects has shown confidence in the future for Beerwah and we hope that our ‘Place +’ process will identify opportunities and encourage partnerships with the community to maintain this momentum.Cr Grosskreutz said council had spent a significant amount of money in the local area in the last term, and hinted at another major announcement to be made in coming weeks, regarding the purchase of a major parcel of land in the heart of Beerwah.Watch this space!

Tired, stiff, sore feet? Aching leg muscles?Between each of the 26 small bones in your feet there are ligaments and connective tissues holding the joints in place. The way we walk can cause some of these ligaments to tighten. This change in flexibility can lead to the formation of bunions, claw toes or secondary injuries like heel and arch pain.
“SUBLUXATION” describes a joint that is not in the correct position but not entirely dislocated. This often occurs in those with flat feet, very high arched feet and ankle stiffness.
Foot Mobilisation Technique –(FMT)The podiatrists at Stepping Out Podiatry have undergone training in “Advanced Mobilisation and Manipulation” of the joints in the feet and lower legs. This therapy corrects any subluxation of joints and loosens and stretches those tight ligaments creating a well functioning foot again. The painless and time efficient treatment consists of 10 minute appointments twice a week for 6 weeks. Photos of your feet are taken at week 1 and 6 so you can see the difference FMT makes to your foot health. For more information pleasecall the friendly team atStepping Out Podiatry.

Steve Attrill has announced that he will be contesting the division left vacant by outgoing Councillor, Anna Grosskreutz.This is the second time Steve has stood for Council. At the last local government election in 2008 he earned one in four of the primary vote and in his words 'he is back', with the same vigour to contest the 2012 council election.Steve and his wife Rogina moved to Glass House Mountains late in 1999, and not long after, they expanded their family to include a daughter who is now nine-years-old.Steve had grown up and worked predominately in South East Queensland but when I asked him why he chose to settle in Glass House Mountains he said ‘because it was so green’.Most of us who are not born and bred locals will understand the appeal that the area has for visitors, and it definitely makes sense choosing it as a place to settle into and raise a family.Although Steve has lived in the area for over a decade his work life and community involvement has focused on Caboolture where he owned and operated a number of businesses including Video Shops and Finanical Planning services.It is this experience, along with that of working in a managerial role in banking and finance industry that Steve believes has given him the skills required as a Councillor. Having worked in a bureaucracy he understands the constraints, but also how to work within them.He also believes his strength in bringing about resolution through mediation will be of real benefit in trying to achieve good outcomes for the
community.The role of a Councillor these days since amalgamation is significantly different from the past and Steve is confident that if elected he has the skills to hit the ground running.“If elected, I will stop the cash drain from the hinterland to the coast and ensure our community is represented in council,” Mr Attrill said.Now that he has formally announced that he will be running, Steve will be completely focused on engaging the community. He will be embracing a strong digital communication approach but will also be getting out there door knocking and getting to listen to as many locals as possible.His website will go live in the next week www. steveattrillwill.com.au but if you would like to contact him before that you can email him on [email protected] or phone 0418 714 177.
Another candidate enters the fieldBy Lea Parkes

Should climbers cough up more for rescue?Over the past week there has been plenty of debate about whether the penalties are harsh enough for those climbers who ignore warnings and signage about unsafe conditions on our local mountains.Last week, a local daily newspaper reported calls from some members of the SES that penalties should be increased for those who risk both their own lives and those of emergency service personnel by climbing in unsafe conditions.We took to the streets to find out what locals think.Landsborough resident Sharon said the fines, currently $300.00 aren’t hefty enough.She said climbers who get into difficulty should be asked to pay back the costs of their rescue, and questioned the valuable time repeated rescues took; particularly when and if emergency services were needed elsewhere.
Edward and Alison, also from Landsborough, agreed.“There needs to be much more of a deterrent
for those climbers who blatantly disregard the signage,” Edward said. “The signage needs to clearly indicate that there is a large penalty for anyone who doesn’t comply.”Their comments were echoed by Wayne, another Landsborough resident, who agreed the penalties should be increased.“These people are using valuable resources when they need to be rescued. What if our emergency services were needed elsewhere?” Last week we also placed the question on our facebook page as we are keen to see what the community think, one comment that has been interesting is from Andrea Hodge - It is a bit unfair if people genuinely get lost, especially our overseas visitors. I think that travel insurance companies should look at including this kind of thing in their policies; 'emergency wilderness rescue' or something to that effect.Have your say on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/glasshousecountrynews
Following is local SES member Dave Erbacher’s account of the most recent rescue which prompted the debate. On Monday, October 31, the Glasshouse SES Group was activated at 4.30pm to assist a 25-year-old German woman on Mt Beerwah. The woman and her male friend knew the mountain was closed to climbers but she was desperate to get a photo from the top. She reached the top and then decided that the track down was pretty hairy and she would attempt what she thought was a better decent.
Unfortunately, much like the slopes of Mt Tibrogargan there is a large amount of slab and loose rock/stones and these conditions trap the unwary climber in that they keep taking risks by going down further and eventually reach the point where it is too dangerous to continue and are unable to climb back up.The rescue crew were told she was only 60 metres from the base but this was not the case. The crew proceeded to the top to locate the woman. As night fell, light rain and mist set in on the mountain making conditions more dangerous. The mountain has been closed for some time and there was plenty of fresh evidence of more recent rock falls. After several attempts, the woman was observed some 150 metres from the rescue crew but she was in a position deemed to be too dangerous for the crew to proceed as there were no suitable anchor points to secure the rescue equipment and effect a rescue safely. As the woman had adequate clothing, food and water it was agreed that rather than endanger the crew any further she would remain on the mountain and a helicopter was arranged for first light in the morning. The rescue team eventually arrived back at the car park at 11.30pm.Group Leader Robert Barry stated that in this case the climbers had acknowledged that they had seen the mountain closed signage and climbed over the fence to access the track. Poor information on the location of the woman and the miserable conditions led to a lengthy effort by the rescue team given that most had already completed a hard day’s work. He thanked the climbing team of Tim, Graeme, Jason, Cameron and Dave, and the ground crew of Ross, Robert and Lou.

Whats the probability? For some, it’s a day of good luck, for others, a day when prophecies come true, and for many, a day of commemoration for our forefathers who bravely fought for the peace our nation enjoys today.
For one local girl though, it’s a very special day for another reason entirely.Tayla Hunn of Peachester will wake up on Friday morning, the 11/11/11, and celebrate her 11th birthday, in a special number sequence that occurs only once every 100 years.And the Peachester student is well aware of the day’s significance.“It’s pretty special, all the 11’s,” Tayla said.Although Tayla made her entrance into the world much earlier in the morning than 11.00am on that day in November 11 years ago, her mum Vicki was quick to point out that the 11 phenomenon doesn’t end there for this family, who moved to Peachester, you guessed it, 11 years ago.So how will Tayla celebrate such a rare and exciting occasion?“We’re having a huge camp out on our property, with all our friends and family,” Tayla said.Hopefully, Tayla and her mum have finished sending out all 111 invitations!

A date to remember – 11/11/11
A passion for military memorabiliaWith Remembrance Day just around the corner, we welcomed the opportunity to have a chat with Palmview’s Kevan Brown, an avid collector of military vehicles. Kevan invited us to his home to check out his impressive collection of vehicles, which includes a Chevrolet Blitz, a Dodge weapons carrier, and a military jeep, which hits the road every now and again, particularly for annual Anzac Day services.
Kevan, a member of the Military Jeep Club of Queensland, has never served in a war and is grateful for the
It will be a day of extra special significance this Friday, November 11 (11/11/11), when we remember those men and women who have died and suffered across all conflicts. We are all encouraged to pause at precisely 11.00am to observe one minute’s silence and reflect on the loss and suffering caused by war. You too can show your support by attending one of the services being held locally, and by purchasing a poppy.
What’s happeningThe 93rd Remembrance Day Commemorative Service will be held at the Cenotaph, Settlers Rotary Park, Glass House Mountains, form up 1050 hours, commencement 1055 hours. A light luncheon will be available at the RSL Club after the service.A service will also be held at the Beerwah/Peachester RSL. Form up at 1030 hours for a 1045 start. Anyone interested in attending this Service is most welcome to attend.
fact, but has had a long time fascination with military vehicles after he received his first book on the subject when he was 11-years-old.“Some people collect teapots, I collect military vehicles,” he said.Over the years Kevan has owned a number of different vehicles, starting off with a Dodge power wagon that came from the Gaza Strip.“These vehicles were the ultimate workhorse at a time when there were hardly any cars in manufacture.“I love the fact that what you see is what you get – there’s nothing fancy about them, but they served a purpose,” said Kevan.Kevan recently spent $8,000 on his Jeep, but saysit’s a small price to pay to keep his passion for our military history alive.

All fired up in Landsborough
On Sunday, November 20, the Landsborough Rural Fire Brigade will celebrate 20 years of operation. The original Rural Brigade in Landsborough folded in the mid sixties and it was only after very severe fires in the Peachester and Mt Mellum areas in 1991 that the present brigade was reformed, following huge public concern.To mark the milestone of 20 years, a special day of celebrations will be held at the Fire Station in Maleny Street, Landsborough. There will be heaps of memorabilia on display for people to peruse and see how much our brigade has accomplished in the last 20 years. In 1991, the brigade started with no equipment other than a few knapsacks and rake hoes and has now grown into a group with a strong membership of dedicated volunteer fire fighters and support personnel, three appliances and modern communication equipment, all housed in a substantial fire station.
Following the open day at 1.30pm, a number of current members will be presented with Queensland Fire and Rescue medals for 15 years of service. Another important event to be marked on the day will be the opening of our fabulous new training room. The brigade was fortunate to receive a building grant from Queensland Fire and Rescue to build this new space, which will be dedicated to local identity Stan Tutt, in recognition of the huge contribution he made, not only as the Secretary of the original Landsborough Rural Fire Brigade but to the entire community over many years. Local builder Troy Brahim has achieved a fantastic result in a very short space of time, of course with the amazing contribution of many volunteer hours from our members. Make sure you mark this date in your calendar! For more information phone Helen Jakeman on 0438 941 031. Chancellor Park Village Centre, 2/1 Scholars Drive, Sippy Downs

From the SchoolsGood news keeps coming from Beerwah HighIt seems we just can’t get enough good news from Beerwah State High!This week, the school is celebrating the success of four of its senior students, who scooped up a lion’s share of business bursaries on offers from the University of the Sunshine Coast.Students Stacey Bentley, Jenna Ross, Rachel McMahon and Jake Greasley each received one of only 12 bursaries awarded by the University across the Sunshine Coast. The bursaries, each worth $1,500, will help the students with the costs associated with their university studies.Along with their parents, the students were excited to receive the news of the bursaries, which were awarded on the basis of their results in business subjects, as well as overall achievement.Beerwah High deputy principal Matt Bradley said the school was thrilled for the students for being recognised and rewarded for their outstanding achievement.
“We are delighted to see the University of the Sunshine Coast recognise our students, and for them to achieve four of the 12 bursaries handed out on the Sunshine Coast is certainly impressive,” Mr Bradley said.

Sports awards’ night a golden eventOlympic gold medallist Christian Sprenger was the special guest at the recent Glasshouse Country Christian College’s Sports Award’s Night.Christian presented medals and trophies to GCCC young sportsmen and women and then gave an inspiring speech where he talked about his journey to Olympic gold.“I used to be pretty average at swimming when I started at age eight. I began swimming because my brother did it, but then I started to really enjoy it,” he said.“During high school all the other boys thought I was uncool because I was doing swimming instead of rugby but I didn’t really care because I loved it so much.“If anyone had told me that I could get an Olympic gold medal just by swimming 50,000km or so, I probably would have given up on the spot,” he said. “However, by breaking it down into smaller steps, like a series of five kilometre swims, the goal became achievable and it was a good lesson to me on how to approach the whole of life by breaking big goals down into little ones.”Approximately 300 people attended the Sports Awards and they were treated to several demonstrations by GCCC’s cheerleading teams who recently won first place in the state titles.GCCC Sports students had performed well this year and there were a truckload of medals and trophies to hand out. The Primary Sportsman of the Year was awarded to Ryan Sauer and Primary Sportswoman of the year to Natasha Hoeksema. Secondary Sportsman of the year went to Nathan Siggs and Secondary Sportswoman of the year was awarded to Rebekah White.

Science fires upLocal skies will light up tonight as Beerwah State High’s next fireworks demonstration goes off with a bang.Part of an innovative science program for Year 10 physics and chemistry students, Beerwah State High’s fireworks unit is the only one of its kind in Australia.Science teacher and licensed fireworks operator, Mr Peter Muchow, started the program to show students the more spectacular side of science. He believes the fireworks unit draws students who may not have otherwise been interested in physics and chemistry into the subject. “We are the only school in the state that uses fireworks on campus and because it is unique, the kids think it is great. They love the practical side of the subject and learning something they have never experienced before,” he said.Beerwah High’s fireworks science program also has links with the CSIRO and the Scientists in Schools program. Last year university professor Allan Paull, renowned for his work with scramjets, visited the school to help conduct experiments with fuses and blast pressure. Mr Muchow was also invited to attend the National Science Conference in Launceston in 2009 to discuss Beerwah’s fireworks studies.
Characters come alive at Peachester SchoolPeachester State School students recently enjoyed an afternoon tea and fancy dress parade to relish in the festivities of our Book Fair. All of the students put in a magnificent effort and showed great spirit on the day. Every year the students look forward to the Book Week parade and once again it was an absolute success.I think the teachers secretly have just as much fun dressing up, which this year included our very own Buzz Light Year aka Mr Duffy!Prizes were awarded for Best Costumes, Best Colouring-in or Book Report which could be redeemed at the Book Fair. It’s always a treasure to see some of the creations that come from simply ransacking the wardrobes or dressup box at home. Thank you to the teachers and Mrs Dorothy Robb for organising a fun-filled afternoon, and to the parents who helped with the masterpiece outfits. There were smiles all around.
Something fishy at Landsborough Kindy
There was something fishy going on at Landsborough Community Kindergarten recently, when the children took the opportunity to dress up for an ocean-life themed dress up day.

BOQ grabs the reins to help disadvantaged kids this ChristmasBOQ Beerwah are taking control of Santa’s sleigh early this year to help The Smith Family collect thousands of new toys and books for disadvantaged children this Christmas as part of the non-profit’s national Toy and Book Appeal.
BOQ Beerwah Owner-Manager, Jeff Willis and his team have turned the branch into an official ‘outpost’ of Santa’s Workshop and are now ready to accept donations of new toys or books under The Smith Family Christmas tree.“Christmas is a special time of year for families and is especially exciting for kids of all ages, so it’s heart-breaking to think that some families simply can’t afford to give their children presents on Christmas Day – an experience many Australian families and children may take for granted,” said Jeff.“This year BOQ is hoping to help The Smith Family deliver more than 14,500 toy and book packs to disadvantaged children around Australia, with the support from generous Australians.“So to make this happen, The Smith Family and BOQ are grabbing the sleigh reins off Santa eight weeks early to start collecting and delivering toys to make these packs possible.“With our help Santa will get a head start on the season, so all Aussie kids can enjoy the magical experience of finding a present under the tree on Christmas morning.“All people need to do is drop an unwrapped toy or book into any BOQ branch during November and with the generous support of Toll, whose fleet will add some grunt to the sleigh, we’ll deliver the toys to The Smith Family who will put smiles on the faces of disadvantaged kids this Christmas.” Dr Lisa O’Brien, CEO of The Smith Family said, “this year with the help once again of BOQ and caring Australians, The Smith Family will be able to help disadvantaged kids share in the joy of Christmas. “We thank the Australian community for its commitment towards helping create a brighter Christmas and future for disadvantaged kids.”In the week before Christmas the gifts will be collected from each BOQ branch and delivered to The Smith Family, whose volunteers will then deliver toy and book packs to children who receive support from The Smith Family’s education, mentoring and vital life skills programs throughout the year.
BOQ Beerwah along with all BOQ branches nationally, will act as a collection point for new toys and books donated by generous members of the local community throughout November.
BOQ Beerwah's Toy and Book Appeal will help disadvantaged children

Balloons that connect It’s the little things that can make the biggest impact. Just ask Mooloolah mother of five, Natalie Pettingill, whose new party balloon business is certainly doing just that.
Natalie started up her own party balloon business, which supplies helium balloons, helium and lolly bags, after being frustrated having to travel across the coast to buy helium balloons for family celebrations.
This got Natalie thinking, and after looking into it, and a lot of positive encouragement from friends and family, and a cause very close to her heart, Connect3e Balloons came into being.
Despite a hectic family life, the decision to start up a new venture was an easy one for Natalie, who donates all the profits from the business to Connect, an Australian-based charity.
Natalie and her family were already familiar with the charity, which is committed to embracing, educating and empowering Karen refugees, after visiting neighbouring Thailand in 2009, and witnessing first-hand the work the charity is doing to help the refugees relocate.
“When I saw the need for a local helium balloon supplier, it made obvious sense. l am already a
Three of Natalie’s children, Katie, Ruby and Mary Pettingill
volunteer for Connect doing their receipting once a month, and this is a great business to have my children involved with so they learn to love others, live generously, seek justice, they get to see how much is raised and donated and the difference that makes to others,” she said.“I am hoping to inspire them to help others less fortunate, and the local community’s support so far has been wonderful and very encouraging.“My favourite quote is ‘A day is not perfect until you have done something for someone who can never repay you’.Connect3e Balloons was setup for the sole purpose of raising funds for projects helping the Karen refugees from Burma, and one hundred per cent of the profits go directly to Connect3e. Its progress can be followed on Facebook - Connect3e Balloons or via the website at www.connect3e.org“The business was never going to provide enough to live off, but it’s enough to make a difference to others less fortunate,” Natalie said.So if you are looking for a local supplier of helium balloons at very competitive rates for your next party or celebration, give Natalie a call on 0409 670 552 or 5494 7529.
Local business launches Christmas charity appealLocal Beerwah publishers Bizy Bug Publishing are another local business keen to support a worthy charity, donating 50 per cent of the profits from the sale of its latest children’s publication, ‘Emma Cries’, to the Wish List Foundation. The book, written by well-known local author Dean Jacobs, is available for purchase for $16.95 through the company’s website at www.bizybugpublishing.com, or check out their facebook page www.facebook.com/pages/Emma-Cries-Christmas-Appeal/288134487877604.

Racey Grannies revealedSausages weren’t the only thing sizzling at the recent launch of the ‘Racey Grannies 2012 Calendar’, an initiative to raise funds for the Endeavour Foundation. Heather Christie, who has been previously featured in GCNews, is participating in the 2012 Great Endeavour Rally in her car a purple 1966 HR Holden Sedan (Car 1959), and thought this would be a great way to raise funds.Heather’s rally team is called ‘Why Not’ which is exactly what the grannies said when asked if they’d be willing to pose tastefully semi-nude for the calendar, knowing it was for a good cause.The Grannies, including Mooloolah Valley
local Debbie Scamber, found the experience empowering and exciting. Debbie, 48, is November’s Racey Granny, and her photo, aptly, has a Melbourne Cup theme.“It’s been very rewarding knowing that at this age in your life you’re comfortable in your own skin and you’re willing to go out and participate in something that’s going towards a good charity like
the Endeavour Foundation,” Debbie said.She said all the photos in the calendar are tasteful and elegant.“All the ladies look beautiful, they should be very proud of themselves,” she said.To order your copy of the Racey Grannies Calendar or to find a location near you to buy one visit www.endeavourrallycar1959.org or give Heather a ring on 0403 625 006.

More parking for Landsborough commuters Commuters will benefit from 23 additional car parking spaces at Landsborough train station. This follows the recent formation of the Landsborough Railway Parking committee, who are currently preparing a submission to the State Government to lobby for unused land to be turned into car parking. TransLink Acting CEO Matt Longland said local commuters and businesses would benefit with more parking options in the area. TransLink is responding to feedback from the local community by installing the additional spaces. For information on upcoming projects visit the TransLink website, www.translink.com.au, or phone the Call Centre on 13 12 30.

Books for KidsKick off the 2012 National Year of Reading by helping disadvantaged kids start their own library.Sunshine Coast Libraries, in partnership with the Salvation Army, are running their annual Christmas book drive to give the gift of reading to children across the region from November 1 to December 13.Books for Kids has been operating for 12 years and has provided over 4,000 kids with a new book for Christmas.
Pool safetyThe Queensland Government’s pool safety hotline took up to 1,500 calls a day in the lead up to the November 4 pool safety register deadline.By this date pool owners simply needed to have checked their pool or spa was on the pool safety register. There were no associated costs. However, owners of pools and spas who did not register by November 4 face fines of $200 or court imposed penalties of up to $2,000.All Queensland pools and spas must comply with the latest pool safety standard by November 30, 2015. Owners only ever need a pool safety certificate if they sell or lease their property. It is important to clarify this point as some media articles and pool inspectors have stated otherwise. No safety certificate is required until you sell or lease a property with a pool. For details on the pool safety register or more information on the pool safety laws go to www.dlgp.qld.gov.au or call 1800 340 634.
Donate a new children’s or young adult’s book to any Sunshine Coast library to enable the Salvation Army to distribute these to disadvantaged families across the region in time for Santa’s yearly visit. For every book donated, a star, named in your honour, is placed on one of our Christmas trees at each library.For more information, visit your local Sunshine Coast Library in person or online at www.library.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

Wizard and GlassWizard and Glass - not just the name of the Stephen King book that I’m currently reading, but a reflection of my thoughts for today - thoughts of the miracle of modern technology and how it’s ever further changing the ways in which we interact with our environment. They say that magic is just science we don’t understand yet, a quip that I’d have to agree with upon witnessing the latest interactive research by Microsoft and other gaming and virtualisation companies.You would most likely all be familiar with the Nintendo Wii, a gaming console which lets you interact with its software by swinging a controller through the air, triggering internal motion senors which report their data back to the game being played.Well the Nintendo Wii was a revolution in interactive virtualisation, and the concept paved the way for later, far superior systems such as the Playstation Move (the same idea as the Wii but more sensitive and accurate) and even better still the Microsoft Xbox Kinect, which utilises a depth-sensor camera to track your motion, without the need for holding any type of controller at all... if you jump or kick, your on-screen character jumps and kicks, it’s quite sensational.Now, enter the next phase of research, one where your shadow can interact with projected images, and the touch-screen glass projected holograms from science fiction movies are a reality. Today’s column is not so much a web review, but an insight into interactive virtualisation with a couple of amazing videos that you can watch ON the web.

Want a tablet but don’t like Apple? Check out the Gigabyte S1080!We frequently come across people who want a tablet computer for either business or personal reasons but whom hate Apple. And while there are quite a few tablets available on the market now… some are light years ahead of the rest in terms of practicality and functionality.
The Gigabyte S1080 tablet is our pick of the best ‘non-Apple tablets’ around. It has a 10.1” screen and runs Windows 7 Home Premium (also available in Pro). So for those of you already familiar with Win 7, it can be a good choice.
The S1080 takes advantage of the touchscreen capabilities of Windows 7 – but expect these to improve vastly with the release of Windows 8 (mid to late 2012).
For those wanting to use it for work, it also features a wide variety of ports, including a USB 2.0 and even a faster USB 3.0 one. There's also Gigabit Ethernet, an SD card reader, a SIM card slot, a VGA port and a slot for an additional battery. It only has one front mounted camera, but has a pair of speakers, an in-built microphone and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity. It’s a bit too heavy to be comfortable by tablet standards, but the sheer amount of functionality still makes this a very worthwhile tablet.
It also comes with a 320GB hard disk drive which is massive by tablet standards, but it does contribute to the S1080's weight of 895 grams.
The S1080 can also be purchased with a Keyboard Kit which includes a portable keyboard and carry case. This is designed to transform the tablet into a mobile workstation – and this it does very well.

Options released for Palmview to Kawana GreenlinkSunshine Coast Council has released route options for an innovative Greenlink corridor between the future Palmview development and Kawana and is seeking public comment.Palmview is a Greenfield development site to the west of the new Sunshine Coast University Hospital, which will house up to 18,000 residents in the future. It will be important in providing future affordable housing for key workers at the hospital.The Greenlink is a planned public transport, active transport and emergency vehicle corridor to provide quick access between the future Palmview and Kawana town centres and new Sunshine Coast University Hospital.A feasibility study has been underway since mid 2011 to determine if there is a suitable corridor for the Greenlink between these emerging residential and commercial hubs.Council’s Director of Integrated Transport Planning Graeme Krisanski said the team now has a thorough understanding of the technical constraints of the study area and is looking to gather information from the community about the social constraints that need to be taken into consideration when assessing the options.“We know a great deal about flooding, ground conditions and the environment in the area, but we also want to ensure that we hear from residents about any additional key issues of concern to them,” Mr Krisanski said.“We encourage people to view the options map, ask questions about what is being proposed and give their feedback.“Information provided by the community will be considered in conjunction with the technical information when assessing the feasibility of corridor options.”The Palmview to Kawana Greenlink has the potential to play a significant role in both the local and regional transport networks.From a local perspective, the Palmview to Kawana Greenlink would provide the opportunity for people to live in Palmview and commute by bus or bicycle to employment at Kawana and vice versa.From a regional perspective, the Palmview to Kawana Greenlink would provide an important link in the transport network between the education and industry hubs of the University of the Sunshine Coast and the new Sunshine Coast University Hospital precinct, as well as the future Kawana town centre transport interchange.Council encourages the community to view the options maps and provide their feedback by November 18. Phone 1800 657 248 or visit www.palmview-kawanagreenlink.com.au to view the options maps and find out more about the Palmview to Kawana Greenlink Feasibility Study.

Local hearing specialistsIs your hearing not as good as it use to be? At the moment, local hearing specialists Shepherd Hearing Care are offering locals the chance to have a free hearing screening when they mention they read about it in GCNews.Shepherd Hearing Care was first established on the Sunshine Coast in 1993 and is the longest established, privately owned and run hearing care centre on the Sunshine Coast. Both Tom and his daughter Kristy are fully accredited Audiometrists and are authorised to provide services to eligible pensioners and veterans under the Commonwealth Government Hearing Care Program (OHS).The successful establishment of Shepherd Hearing Care filled a huge gap in the allied health sector. Despite the rapid build up of a significant client base, the family run business has managed to retain the ‘personal touch’ sometimes lacking in larger organisations. The ability to offer a personalised service and ensure stability of staffing means a lot to those who use their services. Many clients of Shepherd Hearing Care have helped to build the business by a ‘word of mouth’ promotion that ensures a steady stream of new clients seeking a quality result to their hearing needs.Shepherd Hearing Care was the first to introduce ‘free trials’ for a complete month, with absolutely no cost to the client. Tom’s idea was a little radical back in the beginnings of the business, but as he put it, this way, people get to see for themselves what a difference a good quality fitting can make, without feeling as though they are being sold an item.“A free trial offer, combined with attractive price structure and courteous, professional service will ensure we are around for another 18 years,” Tom said.You can visit or call Shepherd Hearing Care at any time between 8.30am - 4.00pm, Monday to Friday, phone 5492 6939.

Kind deed will be returned in tenfoldI would like to send a bouquet and a big thank you to a lovely young couple who found and returned my purse. They so urgently sourced my address and returned my purse straight to my home, within minutes of losing it, I didn't get their names. When reading this they will know who I am referring to. My purse contained licenses, credit cards, Blue cards, appointment cards, and money, to name just a few important items. This kind, selfless and responsible act saved me from making numerous phone calls to banks, Qld Transport and many other departments, not to mention the stress and inconvenience it would have caused. I believe in kindness to others and your kind act will return to you tenfold. A huge thanks.

Peachester Range RoadAs ‘The Poddydodger’ correctly points out in his latest Letter to the Editor regarding Peachester Range Road I have been unable to advise start and finish times for the reconstruction of this road - but this is not for a lack of trying.I have written to the Minister on several occa-sions this year demanding that this road be fixed
as soon as possible. I have also asked for a com-munity meeting, at ‘The Poddydodger’s’ request, and as yet have had no reply.It might please ‘The Poddydodger’ to know I made reference to Peachester Range Road and the many others affected in Glass House in a recent speech in Parliament.As I have no direct contact details for ‘The Pod-dydodger’ I have not been able to forward a copy their way.I would encourage them and anyone else interest-ed to read my speech on the ‘Disaster Readiness Amendment Bill 2011’ by clicking on the speech section of my website www.andrewpowell.com.au. A copy will also be sent to the Editor of Glass-house Country News should you wish to follow up with her.Again I reiterate my commitment to keep the community informed on any information as it comes to hand.

Stone Fish sting in local swimming holeIn Mooloolah Valley / Diamond Valley there is a small swimming hole where a lot of locals like to take their pets, children and themselves swimming. Today we took our two dogs down for a swim and I decided to jump in myself. I was walking into the water when I stepped on something sharp. It felt like a broken bottle and I felt it pierce my skin. I wadded out of the water and saw the bottom of my foot was bleeding, I thought it was a simple cut. I washed it out with fresh water and a few minutes later a severe pain started shooting through my foot. I wrapped my foot up in my singlet to stop the bleeding, after we got home a few minutes later the pain started shooting up my leg and became excruciating. I decided to go to the emergency room, my partner drove me there. I arrived at the emergency room 30 minutes later and the pain had run all the way up my leg. It just seemed to be getting worse. The staff at the Caloundra Hospital were unsure
what exactly had happened but after looking at my foot and judging by the symptoms and the severity of the swelling they told me I was stung by a Freshwater stone fish also known as a BullRout fish. They treated it mainly with hot water and pain killers.But this is more of a warning for swimmers on the sunshine coast. This swimming hole has a fresh spring and running water and it is surprising to find stone fish in such a small swimming hole. Please everyone be careful and if these symptoms happen to you get to the emergency room and get it treated; I’d never wish that pain on anyone.

Bushrangers hold up Cobb and Co coachShortly after Cobb and Co began a coach service between Brisbane and the Gympie goldfields in 1868, a coach was held up and its passengers robbed.On January 6, 1869 the coach had started at 6.30am from Foo’s Hotel in Gympie with seven passengers. One of the passengers was W Selwyn King, late manager of the Bank of New South Wales at Kilkivan. The Kilkivan branch had closed and Mr King was on his way to Sydney. He carried bank notes to the value of two thousand pounds, and a revolver.About five miles from Gympie, two masked and armed men leapt out from behind an ironbark tree and ordered the driver to stop. Mr King fired at one of the bushrangers but the second man covered King with a double-barrelled gun.The bushrangers ordered the passengers to get out of the coach. The quick-thinking bank manager slid his revolver back into its holster and pulled his shirt-tails out of his trousers to conceal it, as he descended from the coach.The robbers told the passengers to remove their coats and waistcoats and throw their money, watches and other valuables on the ground. They did so, but King also stripped off his shirt and used it to cover his revolver lying on the ground. During a distraction caused by another passenger, King stooped down, grabbed his firearm and fired three shots at the robbers. At least one of these found its mark but King’s final shot failed to explode. As he had no more ammunition, he bolted for the scrub, still in possession of the two thousand pounds.The bushrangers cursed him but, ignorant of that two thousand pounds, turned back to the other passengers and collected their loot - 24 pounds plus some watches. They galloped back towards Gympie while King made his way to the Seven-Mile shanty, where the coach was waiting.Later a man named William Bond was arrested, tried and found guilty. He was sentenced to imprisonment for 20 years, and to be twice whipped during the first six months of his sentence, each whipping to be of 25 lashes.

Karanne Drive, Mooloolah Valley pathwayCouncil will undertake work to construct a 1.8 metre wide concrete pathway along Karanne Drive, Mooloolah Valley. This will provide a formalised and all weather walkway for the residents of Karanne Drive. The project was programed to commence the week beginning October 31 and completion anticipated within two weeks (weather permitting).During construction, property access may be affected for short durations. Council officers will contact residents, where relevant, to discuss timing for access or parking if work is likely to block entrances. Your patience during construction is appreciated. Traffic management measures will be in place to ensure the safety of pedestrians and motorists.
Council investigates need for marine zonesCouncil will launch an online survey that will investigate the need for marine zones in the Maroochy, Mooloolah and Pumicestone estuaries. A marine zone is a designated area where certain activities or vessels are managed to protect the health of the waterway and ensure the enjoyment and diversity of water-based recreational users. Residents can take part in the survey until November 20 on http://www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/sitePage.cfm?code=marine-zone-investigation.

Invite abundance and success into your life through Feng ShuiThe ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui, proven effective over thousands of years, channels energy flow to improve the health, wealth and relationships of you, your family, your home or business. A Feng Shui consultation will enhance the positive energies within your home to promote success and abundance in all areas of your life.Have you ever walked into a room or building and instantly felt uncomfortable? A ‘Space Clearing’ will rid a home of negative energies caused by grief, trauma, depression, anger, clutter, ill health or previous occupants. A home or business can also be affected by electromagnetic fields and geopathic stress, which is caused by such things as underground watercourses, geological faults and imbalances in the Earths’ magnetic fields.The presence of these unseen hazards can adversely affect ones immune system, leaving the door open for disease to attack. There are many studies linking the presence of geopathic stress to cancer, immune deficiency disorders, infertility, miscarriage, chronic fatigue, ADD, behavioural
problems, and insomnia, to name but a few! A geomancy audit can help free your home or business from these stresses, resulting in a safer more harmonious environment.Call Di Sutherland on 5496 9296 or 0429 969 669 or email [email protected] to discuss which type of service would best suit your needs. Life Force Feng Shui is based at Glass House Mountains.
Geopathic Stress can cause growth abnormalities in plants and trees such as those above

After years of uncertainty, the Big Pineapple is finally in the hands of new, enthusiastic owners and set for a gradual return to its former glory. I met with the new Manager, Paul Ziebarth a fortnight ago who took me on a personal tour of what's been an iconic part of my life, growing up on the Sunshine Coast.The last time I visited the Big Pineapple was three years ago and I remember walking up through the landmark pineapple that smelt like an old, rotted out caravan. It was nice to see work had begun on fixing the leaks and the exterior getting a blast with high pressure water to remove the thick moss off the paint work. Surprisingly enough, the outside really doesn't need a paint, but the new owners have committed to restoring the establishment without short cuts.Once the exterior is complete, work will begin on restoring the dioramas that showcase the history of the pineapple industry and Golden Circle. Because of its Heritage listing, nothing can be changed on the inside or outside of the structure, only restored. I've also been assured it will more likely smell like a new car once complete.
Shining light on diabetes for World Diabetes Day
The Saturday morning 'fresh produce' markets made a return over the weekend to the Big Pineapple carpark and management have assured stall holders that it will remain exclusively fresh produce from across the Sunshine Coast region. Check them out from 6.30am – 12.30pm each week.The weekend also saw the unveiling of a new coffee shop where the former ticketing booth was located at the entry to the attraction. Paul made it very clear that there will never be another admission fee on the Big Pineapple while the current owners have any say in it. The cafe is part of stage one in the rebirth of the re-opening and renovations.Attractions including the train, ever popular parfaits, animal sanctuary, restaurants, indoor concert facility and more are set for gradual completion over the next few years. The four acres of pineapples that were synonymous with the attraction will also need to be replanted and talks with local growers will continue over what varieties the Big Pineapple will grow.It's no overnight fix, but the vision the new owners and management share is something we as locals will be able to showcase in the future to friends and family who next visit the Sunshine Coast.A reunion for former employees of the Big Pineapple has been set for Saturday, November 26. Visit www.oursweetesticon.com for more information.
As diabetes emerges as the fastest-growing non-infectious disease in the world, Queenslanders are invited to be part of a spectacular awareness event planned for World Diabetes Day, November 14.Famous buildings and monuments around the world will be illuminated blue, including many of Queensland’s iconic landmarks.To raise awareness of the impact of diabetes in local communities, Diabetes Queensland CEO Michelle Trute is calling on Queensland authorities, businesses and community groups to shine blue light on local monuments, landmarks, iconic buildings and businesses on November 14.“Diabetes is growing at an epidemic rate, with more than 60 Queenslanders diagnosed every day with type 2 diabetes. Already more than 300,000 Queenslanders have the condition and the total number of Australians with diabetes and pre-diabetes is estimated at 3.2 million,” Ms Trute said.
Ms Trute is also encouraging groups, individuals and schools to unite for diabetes, ‘do blue’ for a day and make a donation to Diabetes Queensland as the not-for-profit charity supporting people with diabetes.Visit http://www.everydayhero.com.au/event/worlddiabetesday for more information.

Glasshouse Muso’s Club By Michael Whiticker The upcoming seventh night of the Glasshouse Mountains Musos Club will be held next Thursday, November 10 from 7.00pm at the Glasshouse Mountains Sports Club, The last “club” night was a super one for us. It was probably because the Sports Club advertised our session in the local paper - the Glasshouse Country News. If so a big thank you to them as we saw a lot of new people. There were 4 acts in particular that lifted the bar - a new duo featuring Michael and Sheree Buchow, singer/guitarist/song writer Ian Williams, and singer/guitarists Peter Partridge and Paul McKenna. Apparently Sheree Buchow has only been singing a few months. If so watch out as she has an impressive voice, and her partner Michael is a talented electric guitarist. They were one of two acts that used backing tracks on the night to fill out their sound. Paul McKenna, who was the last act of the evening, has one of those voices you notice - whether singing Roy Orbison, Elvis, Daddy Cool, Johnny Cash or Neil Diamond, you simply listen and ask for more. Peter Partridge joined his partner Rose Palmer and others on stage in a number of country songs and showed what an accomplished accompanist he is. A special find for me was song writer Ian Williams. I haven’t heard his work before as I am new to the region, but I am assured he receives lots of local airplay. Ian gave us an all original set with thoughtful words, impres-sive finger style guitar work and a fine singing voice. I for one enjoyed each song and am keen to hear more. Other performers on the night, all of whom have appeared before at the Club, included Leanne Zadkovitch, Paul Fagan, Mick Shipley and Frank and Pam Moroney.

Perspective is important. Just ask the patient that is kept inside hospital doors, feeling isolated from the rest of the world. The world must look awfully different when all you are looking at is four sterile walls and a cold floor. The couple locked inside the walls of a marriage falling apart can see things very differently to how they once did when they first fell in love. And it can be really, really difficult to see a future full of hope when financial failures and pressures can make you feel helpless and hopeless.It can be so easy to get caught up in our little world, that sometimes we lose track of ourselves, our relationships with others, and even the big picture of life itself! But we must keep things in perspective, because if we don’t, we can start seeing life with an ant’s eye view of things - with our nose to the ground - when a bird’s eye view can offer so much perspective.Recently I watched a show on TV about the US Coast Guard. The skipper on board operated a computer gadget that allowed him to see with a satellite’s eye view to help navigate the ship. With that gadget, the ship was able to nose its way through thick ice by knowing where ice was the thinnest as it went around the planet. The Bible is like that gadget! Designed by God to help us navigate through the waves and winds of life.The promises in the Bible show us a different perspective - God’s view! We see the beginning but He sees the beginning and the end. You can find one of those promises in Jeremiah chapter 29 and
verse 11. It reads, ‘I know what I am planning for you,’ says the LORD. ‘I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future.’The pages of the Bible reveal a Father who loves us, who cares about the things that we care about, and who provides for us. God’s will for us is good; it’s what we would want for ourselves if we could only see the bigger picture! Shifting our perspective will reveal new opportunities that God has placed all around us. If we want to escape the issues of life that keep us in a box, we have to trust God and ask Him to help us see things from a new perspective.Things will look so much different when we do --- it’s all in how you look at it!PraiseHouse Church meets Sundays at 9.30am at the Glass House Community Hall, 8 Coonowrin Road, Glass House Mountains. www.praisehouse.com.au
Home and Property Guide
LENDERS IN THE MOOD TO TALK – FOR NOWIncreased competition between lenders, access to cheaper funds and a drop in overall lending volumes mean now is an ideal time for borrowers to negotiate with lenders – but not for long.Smartline Personal Mortgage Adviser Teresa Harrison says this competition and ability to negotiate means the discounts currently on offer are well worth investigating.“First homebuyers are likely to benefit from lower interest rates and discounts on application fees, while investors and existing borrowers would do well to speak with their lenders
to renegotiate rates,” Teresa said.“Borrowers looking to finance a renovation or consolidate debt can also take advantage of these specials and lenders’ willingness to negotiate. Likewise, if you’re not satisfied with your current lender, then now may be the time to shop around and investigate other opportunities. As an added incentive for borrowers considering refinancing, some lenders are offering to cover the cost to switch.”Teresa said that depending on personal circumstances and
requirements, most discounts were tiered – meaning the more you borrow, the bigger the discounts.“However, that doesn’t mean that you should ‘over reach’ on your borrowings for the sake of a lower rate and potentially put your financial security at risk,” she said.“Interest rates are constantly in a state of flux and while they’re presently quite low, it’s important to take potential future rate increases into account. Even though the lenders are willing to talk and the rate offers appear
competitive, you may actually be better off postponing a proposed purchase to fully investigate the property market or save more deposit.”To borrowers who might have put their property purchasing plans on hold in recent times, Teresa suggests revisiting plans in light of lenders’ interest in securing your business. Teresa said that regardless of your personal situation, now was a good time to speak with your mortgage adviser to review your lending and negotiate the best deals on your behalf.

The block eases back at least 100 metres and then fans out at the rear onto prime pastures with views of Mt Mellum. This is a property that has attracted great interest without officially being on the market so be quick to make your interest known. This is an area that offers many lifestyle benefits in a friendly community focused environment with direct access to the highway. Whether its horse riding, golfing or go kart racing, there is something to suit everyone and the vibrant beachside cafe scene is only 20 minutes away.

The property is fully fenced to safeguard children and possibly dogs.Enter the home and be amazed at the size of the living area (it’s heaps larger than you think). There are all new light fittings, a new skylight, new fan, new floor coverings, renovated kitchen and a very ‘arty’ splashback. The home is located at 71 Railway Parade in Glasshouse.

You may very well have been admiring the amazing work of Graham Renwick from Renwick’s Landscape Construction all this time without knowing it, considering he has completed many stonewalls and barbeque features for Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service such as the Beerwah Lookout and The Great Walks entrance areas. Over the last 30 years he has also carried out work for many landscape architects and countless domestic clients who are happy to pass on recommendations for Graham’s work. He brings with him a wealth of knowledge and ideas that can be implemented to suit any budget.As a local family run business, Graham and Donna Renwick offer honest and reliable service at very competitive rates. From fixing drainage problems to creating ideal outdoor living areas including stonework, paving, retaining walls, driveways, pool surrounds, water
features, pathways and stairs and unique garden features, there’s not much he can’t do. In more recent times, Graham has noticed that Pizza ovens and fire-pits are in popular demand, adding a lot of fun to our outdoor lifestyle.“I really enjoy stonework, working for clients who appreciate quality workmanship and improving people’s lifestyle by making their outside areas unique and more liveable. It’s all about having happy clients at the end of the day,” Graham said.Graham is a family man and when not working he likes to go camping and fishing with his wife and four children.Graham’s prices are competitive and quotes are free.

Lessons for Beginners to Advanced
She may have only been racing for the past 18 months, but 17-year-old Mooloolah local Tamika Fisher is on the fast track for success.In September, Tamika, a member of the Hinterland BMX club, competed in her first state titles, and proudly took out third place in the State BMX titles for her age group. This has capped off a fantastic start for Tamika, who was named the club’s most female rider for 2010.But how does a former flatwater kayaker find her feet on a bike?“I just wanted a change,” Tamika said.“We would drive past the track on the way to school and I thought I would like to give it a go and now, I just always want to ride,” she said.A beginner compared to other girls her age, Tamika’s now got her sights set on the World Championships in the near future, after she heads down to the BMX National Championships in Victoria next year.“It’s the adrenaline you get as you come out of the start gate, the feeling you get when you learn a new manoeuvre and the feeling you get when you land a jump.“The largest distance I have jumped is six metres, but I want to jump bigger.”It certainly looks like a big future for this Mooloolah racer.
The hinterland’s impressive scorecard has just gotten better, with another addition to the region’s growing list of sporting legends. Eleven-year-old twins Sebastien and Alastair Smith, of Mooloolah, were last weekend selected for the under 12 Sunshine Coast representative team, to play in the Ian Healy Cup in Brisbane early in the new year.At only 11 years of age, it’s hard to believe that the boys have already been playing cricket for the past five or six years, but one look at their form on the cricket pitch is enough to bowl anyone over. While both boys now play for Palmwoods, previously they were members of the Landsborough Loggers.The mad keen sportsters are also passionate AFL players, and have represented their school numerous times for district athletics. They train hard and they play hard and sure are well prepared to hit the big time.Dad Matt said both boys are really excited about their first time selection for the Sunny Coast, after only narrowly missing out last year.Watch this space as we continue to track their rise to sporting fame!caption: Sebastien (left) and Alastair Smith, young stars in the making from Mooloolah
When Beerwah State High student Rhonda Byrnes was just three years of age, she already had an Olympic gold medal in her sights.Now, 11 years later, it seems she is well on her way. The 14-year-old hurdler was recently announced the most outstanding athlete and the junior sportswoman of the year at Beerwah State High’s annual awards night. Next month she’s off to the national schools championships
at St Lucia, Brisbane, one of only two students from Beerwah High. Rhonda will then follow that up with the junior Australian championships in Sydney in March.But for one so young, this former Elimbah State School student has her feet planted firmly on the ground. The dedicated and committed athlete trains three days a week with coach Don Harrison at the University of the Sunshine Coast, as well as following her own fitness regime, and participating in the school’s athletics extension program.“I’m pretty excited, but I just want to do my best, and continue to work on my technique,” she said.Looks like she is on the right track!

Plant of the MonthPsychotria daphnoides – Smooth PsychotriaThe Smooth Psychotria is a handsome 3 - 4m shrub with glossy, dark, green leaves. It produces clusters of pretty little white flowers in spring and summer which are followed by an edible, white fruit.
It tolerates full sun, providing it has adequate water, but prefers part shade. Its natural habitat is tropical and sub-tropical rainforest and wet sclerophyll forest.We have this lovely shrub in tubes for $1.50 and supertubes for $4.00 for the month of November.
Join the local energy conservation communityResidents from across the Sunshine Coast are now able to register to be part of the Sunshine Coast Energy Conservation Community (ECC).Since it was launched last year, around 1,300 homes and businesses in Mooloolaba, Sippy Downs and Mountain Creek have already enrolled in the Sunshine Coast ECC, which has prompted Energex to expand the program across the entire region.The Sunshine Coast ECC is an initiative of the Bligh Government, Energex and the Sunshine Coast Council.The aim of the program is to encourage residents to actively reduce their energy consumption at peak times when the network is under increased pressure - typically between 4.00pm and 8.00pm daily and hot summer days.Eligible ECC participants are offered a range of incentives valued at up to $600.00 to assist them in being more energy efficient and reducing electricity consumption during peak periods.In addition, for every household that signs up, a $50.00 donation is made to the PowerPact community partnership fund which provides financial assistance to local community groups and schools.For more information, phone 1300 360 209 or visit the website at www.energycc.com.au

Teething problems….A Pastor goes to the dentist for a set of false teeth. The first Sunday after he gets his new teeth, he talks for only eight minutes. The second Sunday, he talks for only 10 minutes. The following Sunday, he talks for two hours and 48 minutes. The congregation had to mob him to get him down from the pulpit and they asked
him what happened. The Pastor explained the first Sunday his gums hurt so bad he couldn't talk for more than eight minutes. The second Sunday his gums hurt too much to talk for more than 10 minutes. But, the third Sunday, he put his wife's teeth in by mistake and he couldn't shut up...Submitted by Hugh Jones, Beerwah

I hope that your year so far has gone well. We are nearly through 2011 and it may not have been an easy year for a lot of people. Being a Four Universal Cycle, this can have quite an impact on where we are feeling stuck and perhaps feeling it is time for completions in many areas of our lives. Many may already be in the process of changing home, work, career and personal life. 2012 is a Five Universal cycle and is a very powerful year for making those changes. I myself have already started to make changes. I now have my office/consulting room at BADGERS BOOKS Buderim which makes it more convenient for clients to pop in any time, even in their lunch hour. I am having a special at $30.00 for a reading. I will be available to do Clairvoyant Readings; Astrology charts; Relationship and Conflict Resolutions: also Private Tuition on Astrology and Tarot, Group Party Bookings, Workshops and Dream interpretations which can be very valuable at certain times, as dreams give us wonderful insight to what we may need to do at certain periods.
