Ian & Val were very active members of the area for many years in Tiaro & District Lions. Ian was coordinator of Driver Reviver at Gunalda Rest Area for 10ys. Val sends her thanks to all who sent cards and attended his funeral for their love and support. Our thoughts are with her and his many friends. ROSSENDALE TENNIS CLUB INC. Hopefully everyone enjoyed the Christmas break and also watching the tennis on TV in January. Some of us missed watching the men’s final due to the blackout but we’ve been reassured by Nikita Williams - our Tennis Queensland Regional Community Officer, that the Round 4, 5 set match between Novak Djokavic (SRB) and Stanislas Wawrinka (SUI)was the highlight of the tournament. It was a doosey! The drenching rain we had was needed and welcome by most of us so hopefully not too much damage was done locally. Time to get into the mowing again now! Our club did our first Bunnings’ BBQ on Sunday 20 th January and it was a great team effort with the day running smoothly (thanks to Lyn and John Kelman’s expertise and tips). We’ll be doing more of these BBQ’s in the future so drop in for a snag and drink if you’re shopping at Bunnings. Our Annual General Meeting and General Meeting will be on Sunday 24th March starting at 3 p.m. Now is the perfect time to start a new exercise routine and playing tennis locally is a fun way to get active and increase your fitness and mobility. Our courts are great and are set in a beautiful rural location. Come and sign up for a year’s membership and become a part of Tennis Australia. New members get player insurance and are eligible for prizes from Tennis Queensland (such as free tickets to the Brisbane International) etc. The cost is just $30 for adults and $10 for children for 12 months membership.

Mary-Anne Walters – Secretary GOOTCHIE GIRLS GOSSIP Well all the festivities have happened, we have been through droughts and floods and the outcome is everywhere is looking wonderful, the grass is green, the tanks are full and the dams are overflowing and lots of new dams have been dug. We feel for all the folk that have lost their livelihood through the terrible floods and all the damage done to fences and buildings in our area. And the children are all back in school for another year. All this since I last wrote the GGG. Back to our ‘Gossip’ we had a good turnout at our break-up party and Renelle and her team did us proud. We then went into recess until this week February 11th. Of course we had our annual ‘Pest control and spring clean’ in January so we are sparkling clean and ready to go. Scrapbooking resumed on the 9th of Jan. and the next one will be Sat.9 th March, 6th. April, 4th. May and the 15th of June, so mark them on your calendar and join us for a interesting day and learning a craft or two. We will visit Petrie Gardens again on the 22nd. Of this month and look forward to hearing all about the residents stories over Christmas. Sadly we lost one of our CWA Men. Ian Brown after having lots of medical issues seen to, was at our breakup party looking and feeling so good, and that was the last we saw him as he passed away suddenly on 7 th. January so we remember him as he was that day enjoying the day with “us girls”, our Sympathy goes to Val and her family ,they will surely miss him especially Val as he was always there especially on the computer chair. Take care Val and remember your friends are always around you. It has been quiet for a while but we are just about to go into another busy year.

The organising team has enthusiastically embraced this year’s field day with stacks of ideas on how to make it an informative and entertaining event. Tiaro Farming & Lifestyle Field Day is a day when the locals and folk from further afield keep their boots and hats on and make the trip to Tiaro to soak up some good old fashioned country atmosphere and hospitality. The theme of this year’s Field day will be Sustainable Agriculture supporting disaster recovery. The organisers are hoping to have a Sustainable Agriculture presenter from America who is very familiar with local farming systems attend this year. A new addition will be a Q & A tent where participants will be able to share stories and hints on surviving disasters e.g. we’ve already heard great ideas about bringing the outside inside by lighting inside the house with garden solar lights while the power is off. A range of experts will be on hand to run practical workshops or answer questions on topics such as financial management, mental health, gardening, managing cattle health, weeds, choosing the right horse. The field day is not just about sharing information, but also an opportunity for many local community groups and businesses to showcase their products and services. We will soon be in touch with various community groups and businesses. Our members were very excited to receive a phone call from Hon Anne Maddern MP to advise that our ‘Everyone’s Environment’ Grant application was successful. This will help fund our Mary River turtle recovery project for 2013 which will include developing some curriculum material for Grade 5 students. It will be a valuable opportunity for local students to learn about our local endangered species. Over the holiday season, our members worked hard to shift into the lower level of the Tiaro Medical Centre. This will be great to have a Landcare base in the centre of Tiaro. Our members are brimming with ideas about how we can best use this space for the benefit of our community and the travelling public. Thanks to the Fraser Coast Regional Council for supporting Tiaro Landcare and assisting with this facility. Marilyn Connell Tiaro Landcare member everyone , everywhere , landcare January 2013 Floods Never a truer word was spoken than the popular phrase “each flood is different”. New peaks were recorded on Munna Creek at Marodian gauging station with a massive 310,141 megalitres/day at the peak while Tinana Creek at Bauple was about a metre lower than the 2012 flood and discharged 71,175 meg/day. Waterways are such a dynamic natural feature in our landscape and continually changing. An inspection of a number of river properties this week showed massive washouts, trees smashed, others gone, eroded banks, silt deposits and large sections where it looks so similar to what it always does. We had reports of people seeing large platypus and turtles, lots of fish and a baby turtle swimming on the backwaters. While many in our district have fences and infrastructure to repair, we are thankful that there was no loss of human life.

AMAZING LEMONS Many professionals in restaurants and eateries are using or consuming the entire lemon and nothing is wasted. How can use the whole lemon without waste? Simple place the washed lemon in the freezer section of your refrigerator. Once the lemon is frozen, get your grater and shred the whole lemon(no need to peel it) and sprinkle it on top of your foods. Sprinkle it onto your vegetable, salad, ice-cream, soup, cereal, noodles, spaghetti sauce, rice sushi, fish dishes, whisky, wine… the list is endless. The major advantage of using the whole lemon is that the whole lemon contains more Vitamin C than just the juice alone. Lemon peel is also a health rejuvenator in eradicating toxic elements in the body. Some laboratories are interested in making a synthetic version of chemotherapy. It is proving to be 10,000 times stronger than conventional chemotherapy. As you know the lemon tree is known for its varieties lemons and limes. The fruit is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumours. This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also an anti -microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is to high and an antidepressant combats stress and nervous disorders. The source of this information comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world and says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970 it revealed that it destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers including, colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas… This type of therapy destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells. So, give those lemons a good wash, freeze them and grate them. Your whole body will love you for it!!!

Bauple Recreation Grounds Inc. Q150 Recreation Centre Bauple and District Recreation Grounds Update. Well what can I say but that was an interesting way to start the year of 2013. We all thought that 2011 was good but this was even bigger. On behalf of the executive and all our members we hope that everyone, friends, family, next door neighbors are safe and well, and now in recovery mode. There has been a lot of work going on all over the region and we hope that life for all is returning to some sort of normality. Going back a step or two, what an awesome Christmas party we had at the Q150 Recreation Center. Lots of fun and laughter and food a plenty, was enjoyed by all that attended. The highlight of the evening was present time when we all wanted the same present, the Sly Fox satin boxers. It was great to see grown adults all laughing and joking just as much if not more than the kids. Thanks to all that prepared cooked and cleaned so that the night was great for all. Over the holidays we held a Youth disco, did a Sausage sizzle day at Greg’s I.G.A, held a Youth day for the kids to have some skateboard and BMX time, and tried to have some rest. The kids that attended the disco and the fun day had an awesome time and had lots of fun and can’t wait for more of these events. When the kids are as well-behaved and well-mannered as they are on these days it’s easy to hold the day, as it is no problem. We are hoping to plan some more of these days during the year and we will let you know as soon as we have some events planned. Bauple Youth Hang-Out: The Bauple Recreation Centre will be open on the 4 th Friday of each month for the kids of the area to drop in and hang out with their friends. Doors will be open at 5pm and close at 9pm. Admission will be free for the night and we hope to have a variety of food & drinks for sale each month. We have a pool table, 2 table tennis tables and an air hockey table for their use, as well as a variety of puzzles and games. It will be up to the kids to decide on the theme or activities. Then came the rain, and how it rained. Many roads around Bauple were well and truly flooded. Forest View and Talegalla residents were flooded in and could not go in or out for a good 48hrs if not more. Many in Bauple Township went without power for 4 or 5 days. So out came Bauple’s true colors and the ‘help” brigade came to life. Neighbors helping each other, family’s helping families, friends helping friends. This is part of the reason why people move to Bauple, the quiet yet very caring nature of the people is what they are looking for and in times like these, that is exactly what you get. The Q150 Recreation Center became a drop off and collection point for many, many, many, clothes, toys, shoes, beds, cupboards and other goods for the people that needed it most. The center was open for three days for people to come and take what they needed at no cost to them. It was also the place for our more than loving community to donate what they could spare. After those 3 days every thing was packed and taken to WIDE BAY SEEDLINGS were it was all put on 4 pallets and packed onto their delivery truck that kindly, at no cost to anyone, delivered to them to the Disaster Management Center in Bundaberg were it was to be then handed out to those who lost their homes and belongings. We cannot say THANK YOU enough to all those people, and you know how you are, that helped make this project come together. Once again it proves what an awesome little town Bauple is. Our meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month in the Bauple Recreation Centre at 7pm. Mary Liddell ( vice Pres).
