SCENIC Rim 4Real Milk will belaunched by Minister for Agriculture,

Fisheries and Forestry, Dr John McVeigh,next Tuesday (June 25) during Scenic RimEat Local Week. The launch will be the culmination of

eight months of work in setting up a milkprocessor on site to enable the Dennisfamily, owners of the Scenic Rim RoboticDairy south of Beaudesert, to produce,process, and bottle milk under its ownlabel.Scenic Rim 4Real Milk is already

appearing on the shelves and in cafesaround South East Queensland. The rangeincludes 750ml of milk in a glass bottle(the way milk used to be sold), and onelitre and two litre products.Greg Dennis, a fourth generation dairy

farmer, has been overwhelmed by thesupport his family has received from thecommunity.“Making the decision to process and

bottle our own milk is one we haven’ttaken lightly. We’ve received hundreds ofmessages of support from people as faraway as Perth - it’s really given us theconfidence that there are people out therewho not only want to support localAustralian farmers, but who also valuefresh, minimally processed milk deliveredstraight to their shops and cafes,” said MrDennis.His 230 Holstein dairy cows produce

around 6000 litres per day, all of which isnow fully allocated to shops and cafes inMount Tamborine, Canungra, TamborineVillage, and Brisbane, as well as townsthroughout the Scenic Rim and Gold Coastregions.

Mr Dennis said the following outletswere among those that would stock ScenicRim 4Real Milk: Mount Tamborine – SupaIGA, Mount Tamborine Bistro (Brewery),The Escarpment Retreat, DeliVino, Cuppa-Licious Mobile Coffee and Slushies;Tamborine Village – Shell Servo, CosyCorner; Canungra – Foodworks, Caltex.Dr McVeigh will officially launch Scenic

Rim 4Real Milk at 1pm next Tuesdayduring an open day on the Dennis familyfarm, Scenic Rim Robotic Dairy south ofBeaudesert). The open day is a chance forthe public to visit the farm, sample themilk, view the robotic dairy and experiencethe whole process of producing, processingand bottling milk.

THE new priest of St George’sAnglican Church, the Reverend

Valerie Hoare, is looking forward toher new role not only within thechurch but also the wider community.Reverend Hoare was commissioned

as Priest in Charge of the Parish ofTamborine Mountain by Bishop of theSouthern Region, Bishop AlisonTaylor, with St George’s Churchpacked to capacity.Among the many guests at

Reverend Hoare’s commissioningwere members of her former parish atGoodna and Father Bernie Gallagher,of the St John the Baptist CatholicChurch at Tamborine Mountain.Fr Gallagher said that a close

relationship had developed betweenthe churches of St John the Baptistand St George’s and that he lookedforward to that fellowship continuing.Reverend Hoare and her husband,

Doug, are both former high schoolteachers and have been married for 40years.“We’ve always been churchgoers,

actively involved in ministry andtaking various leadership roles in theparishes where we’ve worshipped,”she said in a message to the St

George’s congregation.In the 1980s, Reverend Hoare was a

supporter of the movement to ordainwomen, but believed her own ministrywas in helping young people todevelop literacy and numeracy skillsin high school.Eventually she felt there was

‘something more’ and was accepted totrain for the priesthood.In 2000, Reverend Hoare was

appointed Priest in Charge of theGoodna parish and has been thereuntil now, becoming Area Dean ofBrisbane South West Deanery in 2004.“Doug and I are looking forward to

becoming part of the Tamborinecommunity,” she said.“We share a passion for

bushwalking and a delight in thenatural environment.“We’re both keen gardeners and

enjoy observing the ‘critters’ whoshare our space.”Reverend Hoare is passionate about

social justice issues.“I believe it is important that the

church is seen as people who make adifference in the life of thecommunity,” she said.

THE great work of Tamborine MountainLandcare was recognised recently when

it won the Healthy Waterways CommunityAward category at a black tie dinner at theSofitel Hotel in Brisbane.This category was open to individuals,

organisations and community groups forinitiatives which resulted from communityaction, or demonstrated a high level of community participation.The Scenic Rim region was well

represented, with Council winning the Ruraland Agriculture award, and Canungra StateSchool a finalist in the SustainableEducation category.Landcare spokesperson Wendy Morgan

said the work of Mountain volunteers over10 years had been deservedly recognised.“The award is for Tamborine Mountain

Landcare’s work in managing its rainforestand wet sclerophyll forest regenerationprogram. This program is creating a

network of biodiversity corridors thatprovide habitat for native wildlife andreduce pollution from local rural and urbanareas,” said Wendy.“Through the program, Landcare is

helping improve the water quality of theplateau’s numerous creeks, that are withinthe Albert and Coomera river catchments.During 2012, drawing on the commitmentof 200 local volunteers, restoration wasadvanced on 12 active regeneration sites,with 700 trees planted across a total of 10hectares.”Landcare’s work has been made possible

with generous funding and support from theScenic Rim Regional Council, other majorsponsors such as Caring for Our Country,Jemena, Tour de Tamborine and BeNatural; organisations including the GreenArmy, Conservation Volunteers Australiaand Greencorps; and volunteer groups suchas Bond University, and TAFE and highschool students.

IBIS are wading birds; thereare approximately 30 speciesof ibis worldwide.In ancient Egypt, ibis were

venerated as a manifestation ofThoth, the god of wisdom andwriting. It was recorded thatthe streets of Alexandria werefull of ibis that were in apractical sense regarded as both useful andtroublesome, yet remained protected as asacred bird.In Australia there are three species of ibis

– the most common are the Straw-neckedIbis (pictured) and the Australian White Ibis.The Straw-necked Ibis is a large bird with

dark iridescent wings, dark back and collar.Like all ibis, it has long legs and a longcurved beak, the straw-like feathers on itsneck give the bird its name. It has a harshcroaking call, flies in flocks in a V formationand is often seen on Tamborine Mountain.The Australian White Ibis is slightly

larger and can be identified by its almostentirely white body plumage and black headand neck. The head is featherless and itsblack bill is long and down-curved. Duringthe breeding season the small patch of skinon the under-surface of the wing changesfrom dull pink to dark scarlet. The two species are sociable and may

nest together. They are highly nomadic.Trips of up to 3200km have been recorded.Tagged birds from Sydney have beenlocated in the Gold and Sunshine Coastsand Townsville, and a bird tagged inVictoria was sighted in Papua New Guinea. Both species’ habitat is wetlands and

surrounds, the Straw-necked prefersfreshwater wetlands while the Whitefrequents both fresh water and salt water

habitats such as tidal mudflatsand mangroves. But thesehome ranges have beenchanged by human activitywith most of the birds’ naturalwetland habitat now destroyedor modified. This crisis hasforced the populations of bothspecies to shift to the coast to

survive, but the White has become far moreurbanised than the Straw-necked.In their natural habitat both species feed

on aquatic insects, frogs, invertebrates andmolluscs, and their habit of consuminglarge quantities of pest insects such aslocusts and grasshoppers also earnt ibis thenickname of the farmers’ friend. Whilethere was a considerable overlap of theirdiets, the White Ibis could open and extractmussels, so its feeding techniques weremore complex than the Straw-necked andthis dexterity has allowed it to exploitartificial foods and waste in urban areas.Consequently, urban areas have become arefuge for the Australian White Ibis andhave brought it into conflict with humans. Although the species may have become

more locally common in urban areas, it nowfails to breed in its original habitat and itspopulation has declined dramatically, soclaims that the birds are in plagueproportions are totally incorrect andinaccurate. Strategies to mitigate conflictshould consider the overall population, someasures such as community education,waste management and wetland restorationare preferable to culling.Bush walk: Sat 22 June – Binna BurraBirdo Away Walk: Wednesday 22 June

As I wandered through the township ofLahaina, on the Island of Maui, it struck me whytravellers over the centuries have been caught inthe spell of Hawaii. This string of picture perfectPacific islands all offer their own charm.

We had a few days in Waikiki beach staying atthe historic Moana Surfrider – we could wanderstraight off the terrace onto the white sandyfamous beach where the beautiful people wereleisurely meandering in the sunshine. We potteredaround the markets and shopped till we droppedat the Ala Moana shopping centre. Waikikireminded me of the Gold Coast on an Island untilwe hired a car and drove to the other side of theisland – here we discovered the unexpected sidewhich offers a gentler pace of life.

The short flight hop to other islands opened upmany varied destinations. The Big Island with oneof the world’s largest active volcanoes andexhilarating helicopter flights or treks to see thelava flows.

The gentle lush green Isle of Kauai, famous forrainforest and waterfalls, and the delightful laidback island of Kauai. Home of the macadamia,Hawaii in fact was the first place to commerciallygrow what I called a Queensland Nut as I wasgrowing up. No wonder they grow well on ourmountain! The history of the local Hawaiianpeople is fascinating and their gracious islandspirit infects you. Hawaii offers a combination ofwhat is great about the US and what we all loveabout the Pacific Islands; now with direct flightsfrom Brisbane to Honolulu it makes this awonderful holiday destination.

Get set for next beginners’ Tai Chi classes

TAI Chi is often called ‘moving meditation’ and according to American HarvardHealth Publications, it can truly be called ‘moving medication’ owing to the

myriad of health benefits derived from its practice. It has evolved from the ancient Chinese martial art of Tai Chi Chuan into a series of

mind-body exercises performed in a slow, focused and flowing manner designed tokeep the body in constant motion. Gai Wanless (pictured below), of Tamborine Tai Chi and Kinesiology, said Tai Chi

was suitable for people of all ages, from about nine to 90, regardless of their level offitness. Gai, who has been teaching Tai Chi on Tamborine Mountain since 1990, is currently

with many sports, it is an inexpensive way to keep fit andreduce stress. All the movements are done standing and at alevel commensurate with an individual’s capabilities,” said Gai.“Local classes at Eagle Heights are conducted outside

whenever the weather permits. Beginners’ classes incorporate alot of deep breathing exercises, so outside in the freshMountain air is an ideal place to practice Tai Chi.”The art is proving popular with a growing number of local

participants and earlier this year a World Tai Chi Day, in whicharound 30 people took part, was held at Eagle Heights Park.In addition to conducting her local classes, Gai conducts

regular Tai Chi tours to China, with a few places left in thisyear’s trip planned for September. For more information,contact Gai on 0409 066 501 or see www.ttcak.com

I’M struggling to start this week’s news,with the incidents of the past few weeks

gone by and such tragic losses feltthroughout the Mountain and beyond. DearAngel Amy Abrahams was laid to rest inCairns and as I type this news I’m glancingat the clock on the wall psyching up for JohnMckenzie’s funeral this morning, with somesolace that the community, the Lions and thepeople of the Mountain will rally to supportGloria and John’s family.It makes the blood boil when the papers

are full of news of cretins flouting the law ondrug-fuelled rampages and what-not, whiletrue-valued Australians are torn from ourmidst. What a fantastic life young Amylived in her time on this earth! A championstudent, sportsperson and Aussie all-rounder.Her vocation in Pharmaceutical Science wascertain, as no doubt her ambition to representAustralia at the Olympics in Eventing(equestrian for those of us who are not horsefolk). I won’t harp on for fear of choking up,but cannot begin to imagine the loss felt byher family and friends, and those who wereblessed with her presence in any measure ofchance meeting or acquaintance. And John!I never saw the bloke without a smile on hisface or a kind word for another ... bless youboth.If anything can be drawn from these last

few weeks, perhaps it’s an opportunity for usto step back, take a deep breath and be trulythankful for what we have. I try never toleave home for work without kissing andhugging my girls every day and often worrywhen I miss a chance about the ‘what if’?God forbid!

WINTER TIME AGAIN!Rug up good folk – it’s getting chilly out

there. We have now transitioned back toLogan District and it’s the same old sameold with the home fires burning. Thecloudy days and nights are back so it’s atimely reminder to please take care whendriving through cloudy streets (fog is invalleys; as we are on a Mountain, I’m led tobelieve, although I may stand corrected,that we experience cloud.) DAY-TIME BURGLARIESWhile we have not had too many

problems, we are still having the occasionalburglary of homes and most of them areoccurring during the day. These criminalsare after cash and jewellery to pawn fortheir drugs and often not in positions tocarry TVs or property like in the old days.Please people, be vigilant when cruisingyour neighbourhood and environs. Thesegrubs drive around the suburbs in stolencars looking for houses that appear to beunattended. Report any suspect vehiclesplease to us with the registration numberand also the description, as quite often thenumber plates are false or stolen. Theregistration number and a decentdescription of the car (ie light blueCommodore sedan with a snowman stickeron the rear window) can often help us linktogether a series of crimes and theoffenders will eventually be caught (as theyalways are). Count our blessings and be thankful!

Cheers, Mick.

Tamborine Mtn Police Newsby Sergeant Mick Jones, North Tamborine Police

Only hours after the wreckage of Amy Abrahams’ car was removed from the scene of theaccident, floral tributes began appearing at the crash site. It was the wish of Amy’s mother

that this photograph be published in the Tamborine Mountain News.

BUDGET COMMUNITY FORUM 30 JUNECouncil will vote on the budget on Thursday20 June. On Sunday 30 June, Cr O’Carrolland I will hold a Budget Community Forumat 3pm in the Vonda Youngman CommunityCentre.WHAT IS YOUR ADDRESS?The use of your correct address avoidsconfusion and aids the better delivery ofessential and emergency services. Where welive has become an issue that I did not know existed. There is alegislative process called Place Names. The bounded localityplace name for the Mountain is Tamborine Mountain. So we all live,officially, on Tamborine Mountain. Not Eagle Heights, NorthTamborine or Mount Tamborine. These names are neighbourhoodswithin Tamborine Mountain. If you have recently phoned an insurance company to get a house

quote and you told them that you lived at Eagle Heights, you mayhave been told that they have no record of that name. That isbecause Eagle Heights is a neighbourhood and not a place name. Inaddition, our post code on Tamborine Mountain is 4272. The postcode 4271 only applies to the Eagle Heights Post Office and mailaddressed to the Eagle Heights Post Office’s post boxes or Care ofthe Eagle Heights Post Office. So what does this mean to you?Generally nothing unless you are making an inquiry to an agencylike a government department, insurance company, telephonecompany or a utility company. In this case, remember to say thatyou live on Tamborine Mountain and that your post code is 4272.However, you can still talk about and use the neighbourhoods ofEagle Heights, North Tamborine and Mount Tamborine. Council will also be using the place name Tamborine Mountain

on rate notices this year. So, in summary, to ensure a moreefficient and safer community and a better delivery of essentialand emergency services, we all live in the bounded locality ofTamborine Mountain and our post code is 4272 for our residentialpostal address. Our neighbourhoods are Eagle Heights, NorthTamborine and Mount Tamborine.TELECOMMUNICATION TOWER, WITCHES CHASEThe submission period for this application is 24 May to 8 July. Inmy view, there are three issues involved:• Is the application consistent with the Planning Scheme? I amadvised the answer is no.

• Does it have community support? I have delivered 310 letters toresidents in the affected area and I now await the responses.

• Is it in the right location? Telstra has to demonstrate that it hasfully investigated all the options, including applying to theDepartment of Environment and Resource Management tolocate it at the western end of Beacon Road in the vicinity of thecurrent Energex tower.

DIGITAL TV COMING TO THE MOUNTAINFrom 28 May, Tamborine Mountain was switched to digital TV.On 27 June, you need to retune in order to receive all channels.The Government is running advertisements at the moment. Youcan also call the Digital Ready Information Line on 1800 20 10 13or visit the website at www.australia.gov.au/digitalready. EAGLE HEIGHTS ROAD WALKWAYThe repair of the Eagle Heights walkway will commence in twoweeks. The delay has been caused by Council waiting for StateGovernment approval for finance under the storm damagefinancial package.CONSULTATIONThe next consultation in the library will be on Monday 8 July,4pm to 5.30pm. I am also available for one on one meetings atyour convenience. My contact details are:Home: 5545 0223; Mobile: 0423 931 075Email: [email protected]; and [email protected]

Food licensees invited to have a say

COUNCIL wants to hear from food licence holders in the ScenicRim as part of a review of the current food licence system.

The organisation is considering the adoption of a risk-basedapproach to food licensing. “This approach will see food retailers, manufacturers and

processors grouped into specific categories, with defined levels ofpotential risk aligned to that category,” said Mayor John Brent.“This framework will assist in determining applicable licence

fees and inspection scheduling.“We anticipate the streamlining of our licensing and inspection

processes will deliver efficiencies and benefits for both Counciland licence holders, with a reduction in costs, either in directdollar savings or in staff time,” said Cr Brent.To aid this process, Council is seeking input from Scenic Rim

businesses and individuals who hold food licences through anonline survey to gather information from relevant stakeholders.“Council is inviting current licensees to complete the survey to

assist us in the development and implementation of the newsystem,” said Cr Brent.The survey should take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to

complete. A link to the online food licensing survey can be foundon Council’s website at: www.scenicrim.qld.gov.au/have-your-sayThe online survey can be completed until 30 June 2013.

THERE has been lengthy debateabout what Council should or

should not be doing in relation to theissue of commercial water extractionon Tamborine Mountain.While it is not appropriate for me or

any councillor to provide commentaryon legal matters still before the court, Iwould like to provide some insight onthe broader issue of groundwaterextraction.Firstly, all councils have to operate

within the scope of powers delegated toit by the State Government.Local government cannot simply go

around making its own decisions onmatters over which it has nojurisdiction – we need to play by therules.The management of underground

water resources is vested to the Stateunder the Water Act 2000. The State isresponsible for controlling theextraction of these resources fromregions which have been protected asgroundwater areas.The entire Scenic Rim is not

classified as a protected groundwaterarea, which means no authorisation orapproval is required from the State asthe responsible entity to extract sub-artesian water for commercial orprivate use.

FROM THEMAYOR’SDESK

Council has no authority to manage orcontrol the volume of water extractedfor commercial use and, likewise, theState’s policy setting for waterextraction outside protectedgroundwater areas is for non-regulation.Commercial extraction, to be clear,

refers to the removal of groundwaterfrom a property for the purpose of sale.It does not apply to water extracted andused on-site for household, animal careor agricultural purposes.The extent of Council’s authority to

influence commercial groundwaterextraction in the Scenic Rim is confinedto whether the business activity isconsistent or inconsistent with the landuse of the area under its planning anddevelopment approval process.That is in instances where a Council

approval is required because theoperation is a new activity or it is anexisting activity where the scale orintensity has changed or is intended tochange significantly.The assessment of these applications

is undertaken by Council staff, whoprovide a recommendation to the electedCouncil based on the relevant planningregulations and supporting materials.It is up to the elected Council to

decide whether to adopt thisrecommendation or pursue analternative course of action.For those who argue that Council

should simply change the ground rulesby banning certain types ofdevelopments and industry, we areprevented from doing so by Statelegislation. The Sustainable PlanningAct 2009 only allows specific types ofdevelopments to be banned outright inlocal Planning Schemes.

Changes to free bus services

Scenic Rim Transport has announced changes to the free busservice program following the completion of a trial period.The creation of Scenic Rim Transport was an initiative of the

Scenic Rim Social Plan Steering Committee in response torequests from all sectors of the community to improve transportoptions.Committee chairman, John Bartlett, said the social plan

identified a lack of available transport to enable residents,particularly teenagers, seniors and young families, to accessentertainment and other services both within and outside theregion.“The first thing we needed to do was to establish the level of

demand, so we decided to trial a number of free transportservices including a bus from Tamborine Mountain to the GoldCoast every Thursday during school holidays,” Mr Bartlettsaid.“After monitoring passenger numbers we have decided to

take a change in direction which includes providing free busservices only within the Scenic Rim Region.“There is already a regular service available between

Tamborine Mountain and the Gold Coast, so we have decidedto offer local residents the opportunity of travelling to otherplaces in the Scenic Rim,” Mr Bartlett said.Commencing in July and continuing until the end of school

holidays in late January, there will be a free bus servicebetween Tamborine Mountain and Beaudesert on the thirdSaturday of each month and every Thursday during schoolholidays.These buses will link up with another bus service which

transports passengers between Beaudesert and Boonah, givingpeople a choice of destination. It will also allow residents fromBeaudesert, Boonah and Kooralbyn to enjoy a day onTamborine Mountain.Mr Bartlett said whatever happened after the end of January

would depend on how the service was patronised during thenext seven months.This new service will begin on Thursday, July 4, and

bookings are essential. Contact the Tamborine Mountain co-ordinator on 5545 1139.For more information including the bus timetables visit

www.scenicrimtransport.com.

Drivers, move left for ambulanceQUEENSLANDAmbulance Service (QAS) is reminding

drivers of the importance of giving way to emergency vehiclesas safely and quickly as possible.Chief Superintendent for the West Moreton Local Ambulance

Service Network (LASN), John Hammond, said: “Every day,police, fire and ambulance vehicles respond to urgent calls. Losingprecious time en route could mean the difference between life anddeath.Mr Hammond said drivers of emergency vehicles were trained to

drive in emergency situations. “When you hear emergency vehicle sirens, don't panic, stay

alert, and avoid being distracted,” he said.“Keep the noise level down in your vehicle, continue to look and

listen, and be prepared for more than one emergency vehicle. “When you see an emergency vehicle’s flashing lights in your

rear-view mirror, you should slow down and veer as far left as issafely possible, being aware of the road shoulder. Do not slam onyour brakes or stop abruptly, blocking the road or an intersection. “Look ahead for a safe area and use your vehicle’s indicators to

let other drivers know your intent to pull over.” Mr Hammond said it was important that drivers followed these

guidelines safely and didn’t attempt to break any road rules.“The last thing we want is other drivers needing the emergency

services themselves because they crashed their vehicle while tryingto clear the way for us,” he said.

Tamborine Mountain rainfall for May, 2013

May, usually a lovely month with clear, warm days and cool nights and expectingonly 11 rainy days, was, this year, often cloudy and rather wet with about 21

rainy days. This was due to a number of troughs coming in across the continent andcoastal winds blowing into these and producing small falls of rain. The last of these atthe end of the month produced heavier falls and, across the border, deteriorated intoan east coast low and drenched northern NSW.The expected rain for May at Fern Street is 78mm and the average is 121mm.Jim Inglis has kindly agreed to handle the rainfall at the end of this month so would

Supplejack Vine – Flagellaria indica, the Knoll National Park.

Iencountered this amazing plant for the first time on a recent night walk because it wasencroaching on the track. The first thing I noticed was that the apex of the long,narrow leaves formed a tendril, all the better to hold with. I came back two days laterand filmed this fascinating shot of two entwined leaves embracing a third.Subsequently I have seen a particularly vigorous specimen in Palm Grove. The vine hasthick, cane like stems and grows to 15 metres tall. It is found in India, South East Asia,Polynesia and Australia.

Turning on the sun for ‘Bush Vollies’TAMBORINE Bush Volunteers recently received a grant from the Scenic Rim

Regional Council to install a solar-powered irrigation system in its establishment ofa rainforest nursery. Members are grateful to the Council for its generous support and have now installed

the system that will sprinkle a propagation shade house and a nursery igloo that will seethe propagation of plants endemic to Tamborine Mountain.Tamborine Bush Volunteers ran a thriving nursery for 17 years at Knoll Road, North

Tamborine before it was relocated to Beacon Road.This year marks the 25th year for the group’s work in Tamborine National Park. At 13

plots across the Mountain, the group has replaced weed species with rainforest plants. Tamborine Bush Volunteers organise a working bee in Tamborine National Park on

the first Saturday of the month. If you would like to join this friendly group, pleasecontact Len Lowry on 0428 335 572 or [email protected]

Tamborine Bush Volunteers co-ordinator, Len Lowry, sets the timer for the group’s newsprinkler system.

Farewell Sarah Duncan

It was farewell time recently for Sarah Duncan at Mount Tamborine Pharmacywho, sadly for many of her customers, has moved interstate. She spent a lot of

Arecent meeting of the TMNHA BirdGroup saw how Marg and Jeff Eller

found a memorable moment when massingmagenta blossom on an Ironbark wasinvaded by a squadron of brilliant ScarletHoneyeaters.At Washpool, a very trusting Superb

Lyrebird enabled Jeff to record a torrent ofmagnificent refrain, very near to itsextended bill, its lyrate tail quivering.Red-browed Treecreepers, uncommon andactive at altitude in tall trees were revealed, Musk Lorikeets at tree hollows and a flockof Budgerigars at Sundown National Park.The drought in western Queensland is

forcing birds of the inland to seeksustenance in the east.At Tenterfield, Jeff and Marg saw Scarlet

Robins and Speckled Warblers; and aWhite-eared Monarch at Kin Kin.Ros and Jim Inglis have been hearing

Noisy Pittas, and the seldom heard Top-knot Pigeons and a Shining Bronze-Cuckoo. They recorded a Darter, unusualfor the mountain.Gail Molson has sighted eight Galahs on

the mountain and Delle Daniels has

watched Weebils.Two ornithologists of yester-year were

remembered. Alex Chisholm’s lyrical andpoetic Mateship with Birds is in reprint,and Susan Cantrell tabled a first edition ofthis work, formerly in the possession ofmountain identity Hilda Curtis.Embellishing the inside cover and fly leafis a flamboyant greeting.Chisholm was dismissive of bird

professionals for their reliance oncollectors of skins for museum cabinetsand their perusal and determination ofspeciation over their ranges.A typical systemic ornithologist of a

different philosophy was George Mack,Director of Queensland Museum from 1946.A ‘time capsule’ was opened as the old

Museum Library and Bird Room wereinspected, and the genial and scholarlyHeber Longmax, Director 1915-1945 andfamed Mesozoic Palaeontologist, introduced.Jeff is organising the annual local

HIGH RISK TREES TO BEREMOVED AT SBSSAs part of the St Bernard State School

Tree Maintenance Program, we haverecently received an arborist’s report on thehealth and safety of individual plants andtrees on our grounds.The local arborist found a number of

high risk trees that need immediateattention. As a result of this report, theschool (through Facilities) will carry out anumber of tree removals and treemaintenance procedures across the school,including some along the front of theschool. This work has been planned overthe winter school break.I appreciate that many current and past

students and staff, as well as other localresidents would be concerned about thepossible removal of the trees. St BernardState School can be justifiably proud of itsschool grounds and the trees that provideshade for students.It is most unfortunate that, because of the

unhealthy and unsafe nature of some of our

trees, and their size and location on theschool fence line, they represent a serioussafety issue. It is clear in the aborist’sreport that if nothing is done, the risk tochildren and adults alike is significant.The St Bernard State School Parents and

Citizens Association has given its fullsupport for the decision to act. Theassociation also indicated a strongcommitment to continuously develop thegrounds and replace trees removed forsafety reasons. Students have also plannedreplanting projects.I reassure all members of the St Bernard

State School community and the broaderMountain community that any decision toremove trees was not taken lightly.However, student safety is paramount.The school apologises to neighbouring

properties and residents for anyinconvenience these works will cause.

IN CONCLUSION: TOWER AT WITCHES CHASEOn May 14 I was invited to a private

meeting with Grant Watson (TelstraProperty – Site Acquisition Manager),Andrew Travis (RF-EME ‘expert’) and MattBoyd (consultant from Urbis) regarding theproposed tower at Witches Chase. Many things were discussed but not

electromagnetic radiation (EMR) andhuman health. They made it very clear thaton no level would the suggested connectionbetween EMR and damage to human cellsand DNA be a consideration regarding thelocation of any proposed tower, which inlight of the fact that in 2013 theAdministrative Appeals Tribunal of theAustralian Federal Court has provided legalrecognition of the health effects of EMR,also known as electromagnetic frequencies(EMF), seems very short sighted.1Class actions are already in progress as in

Australia a legal precedent has been set inregards to the recognition of acute EMRhypersensitivity as a legitimate illness(which severely compromises your nervousand immune systems). The reportedsymptoms of electromagnetic

hypersensitivity (EHS) include headache,nausea, lack of concentration/motivation,fatigue, poor stress control, sleepdisturbances, skin symptoms like prickling,burning sensations and rashes, pain andache in muscles and many other healthproblems. Whatever their cause, EHSsymptoms are a real and sometimes adisabling problem for the affected persons.2We are not alone. Victoria’s Yarra Ranges

Council, Corlette north of Newcastle,Mornington Peninsula community ofTootgarook, Bardon Queensland, andBallina Shire Council are just a few of themany communities that are fighting or havesuccessfully stopped telcos from erectingunnecessary towers in their area. Resident action groups have re-emerged

as a force in tower placement decisions inAustralia and we only have a few days leftto make our opinions clear to Scenic RimRegional Council about this one.1www.stopumts.nl/pdf/Administrative_Appeals_Tribunal_of_Australia_Dr_Alexander_McDonald_and_Comcare_28_02_2013.pdf)2en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_hypersensitivity

HOW STRONG A SCIENCE IS CLIMATOLOGY?John Headrick seems to be saying: “You

only believe in science when it suits you”(TM News 4 June). There’s surely sometruth in that, but it needs qualification.‘Science’ is a cover-all term. It ranges

from the perfect prediction of solar eclipsesto the almost perfect uncertainty of

economics, psychiatry and nutrition.‘Experts’ at that end of the spectrum cannotreasonably expect a lot of public credence,and John does not recognise this in hisstrictures.So how strong a science is climatology?

Western governments claim a hugeconsensus of agreement on climate, and the

Continued next page


CLIMATE CHANGE – ALWAYS!John P. Headrick in (TMN 4/6/13) claims

that climate sceptics contributing to thesepages are denying climate change becauseof some inner conflict. I would suggest heis confused about what climate changereally is. It is simply a vague, unarguable,

uncertain, generic term tossed up by hisside of the argument [climate has alwayschanged] so as to avoid having tospecifically mention their ever-weakeningtheory of human-emitted, greenhouse gascaused, anthropological global warming[AGW].When even the ‘consensual scientists’

who strongly promote AGW are beingforced to admit that for the last 16 yearsglobal average temperature has gonenowhere in spite of ever increasing humanCO2 emissions and they have to claim thatany ‘missing heat’ is now in the bottom ofthe oceans where it not only CAN’T bemeasured but also can’t be explained as tohow it got there without breaking the lawsof physics, they are being very unscientific.This lack of warming is at odds with

IPCC models which have exaggerated theirprojections by being fed with suchobviously wrong assumptions that climatescientists are now having to reconsiderwhat is the new expected temperature risefor a doubling of CO2 and this is beingreduced considerably.In fact the exponential increase of CO2has correlated so poorly with global

average temperature that a recent papershowing a much better correlation with,and possible causation by, CFCs rather thanCO2, shows what a dubious theory it reallyis.This new paper simply puts another head

on the uncertainty monster that is climatechange.‘Reasoned discussion’ which John says is

needed [and I agree] can only take place ifwe start from the understanding that thescience is not settled and most of theassumptions that have been fed into themodels that have produced suchexaggerated projections, need re-examining.In light of these many uncertainties we

need more scepticism, not less.Jim Inglis Marks & Gardner

mainstream media support them, shuttingout opposing facts and opinions as they dothe enemy in time of war; but theseunwanted and unreported papers arereferenced on the Internet, I’ve seen manyof them, and in my opinion there is noconsensus on climate at all. I cannotbelieve that any scientist who simply wantsthe truth, and looks at the debate broadly,would come to a different conclusion.No circumstances, not even a metre of

snow in Cairns, need prevent climatologistsfrom predicting a warming disaster nextcentury. They are not constrained to

caution, as seismologists are, by the fear ofbeing wrong tomorrow. So until they losethe public trust we will continue to seefortunes being poured into climate. It willincrease a far more genuine threat to ourgrandchildren: the inability of Westernnations to live within their means. I am of course ‘mischievous’. There are

now thousands of mischievous scientists.Most recently, a leading Canadian scientisthas reported that global temperaturescorrelate with CFCs; they don’t correlatewith carbon dioxide at all. He is just onemore victim to be ignored or insulted!
