The first phase of the dispersal program concluded last Friday and will be followed by a second period of dispersal this week. These operations have involved the use of noise, smoke and light as deterrent methods. The original number of flying foxes at the Lions Park site was estimated at between 700 and 1000. However, Council’s dispersal activity has been effective to date with no flying foxes returning to the roost site at present. The majority of these flying foxes appear to have relocated to the established Witheren colony area with the remainder scattering elsewhere. Additionally, there have been no reports of dispersed flying foxes roosting in backyards or other neighbouring areas.

These viruses kill 1.5 million people a year; one in every three people has been Sunday 9.00am-12.00pm exposed to either or both viruses and most infected people do not know about it, due to dormant symptoms.

On this day individuals, community groups, clinicians and other supporters run events to raise awareness. This year sees the first ever World Health Organisation’s Global Strategy for Viral Hepatitis, which sets a goal of eliminating viral hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030. In 2008, the first World Hepatitis Day was launched by the World Hepatitis Alliance, in response to concerns that chronic viral hepatitis did not have the level of awareness, nor the political priority, seen with other communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. The aim of World Hepatitis Day is to improve levels of liver health literacy, knowledge of viral hepatitis within the general community, to break down barriers such as stigma, and create more positive attitudes towards those living with viral hepatitis. Every year World Hepatitis Day gets bigger, with more countries and organisations participating. Since its launch in 2008, thousands of events have taken place, from rock concerts and press briefings to ministerial meetings and fundraising events. Through these coordinated events, the hepatitis sector Jojo & Co. and the community are able to highlight the significance of viral hepatitis to a large audience around the world. In Australia, they also use this opportunity to promote the Love your Liver campaign. Love Your Liver was launched in 2011 by Hepatitis Australia. It is a five-year health promotion campaign with the long-term aim of normalising viral hepatitis Nails ~ Hair ~ Beauty and portraying it as a health condition without moralising. The Love your Liver campaign provides a safe and non-threatening platform to start conversations with the general public about viral hepatitis. Everyone has a liver, and therefore potentially has some interest in liver health. To look after the liver, a healthy diet is a high priority. You should also build regular light to moderate exercise into your routine. Alcohol intake should be limited and if you smoke, talk to your pharmacist for assistance with quitting. Special subsidised anti-viral therapy is available under certain criteria for people with confirmed hepatitis C infection. However, these medicines are potent, with possible interactions and side effects. Talk to your pharmacist about anti-viral therapy. Muscle and joint pain, and pain in the area of the liver, is frequently a symptom of hepatitis C, and the appropriate use of pain relievers needs to be considered. Paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain relievers can be used (not exceeding the recommended doses, and not in advanced liver disease). Heat packs and massage are also effective non-pharmacological options. Skin 07 5545 0349 moisturisers, lubricating eye drops and saliva substitutes are also helpful to relieve the dryness caused by hepatitis C, and you can find all of these products in pharmacies.

Container recycling scheme The LNP has committed to a policy that will address one of Queensland’s enduring environmental issues – cans and bottles littering our land and waterways and creating excess land fill issues. If elected, the LNP would introduce a container deposit scheme (CDS) that would see Queensland consumers, businesses and charities, refunded 10 cents for aluminium, glass and plastic drink containers returned for recycling. Our plan would deliver a great win for the environment in the Beaudesert Electorate, resulting in less visual pollution, and could create hundreds of jobs across Queensland in the recycling sector.

TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN NEWSVOL. 1432, 26 July 2016 – 19 Street Cred In the age of Pop Idol the concept seems almost quaint, and the term is heardly heard nowadays. The mania for street credibility reached its peak in the late 1970s during the punk era, and was to some extent tied to those more class-conscious times. Despite the involvement of large numbers of middle-class art students, punk liked to portray itself as a working-class sub-culture. Also as part of its DIY ethos, displaying the trappings of the previous era’s bloated superstardom status was frowned upon. No Elvis, Beatles or Rolling Stones in 1977, as The Clash sang. Elvis did literally die that year, and street cred became the watchword. The best definition of it came from the late cartoonist Ray Lowry (1944– 2008), who said that ‘street credibility is the ability to change the tyre on your tour van in your stage clothes on the Old Kent Road without getting beaten up.’ Maintaining the appearance of street credibility was also important commercially, because bands that lacked it, or were perceived as ‘selling out’, would rapidly dwindle in popularity. It was important because punk affected, and to a certain extent did actually possess, an ideology – or as John Lydon, otherwise Johnny Rotten of The Sex Pistols, said at the time, ‘We mean it, maaaaan.’ Wireless This was a very sensible and widely used term for radio communications A classic time and motion puzzle, given a modern in the days before mobile phones and the Internet. It referred to a radio twist by The Guardian’s Alex Bellos: transmitter or receiver, which for most people just meant their wireless set or radiogram (q.v.) at home, on which they might listen to the Home You are in an airport, and you are walking from security to your Service (q.v.), Lord Haw-Haw (q.v.) during the war, or any number of gate.

The word has enjoyed a slight revival, however, in the term ‘wireless broadband’. (Answers on page 23 - no looking now!) Yob A simple piece of backslang that appears to have entered mainstream From the wonderful Lost English, Chris Roberts’ fond look English in the Victorian era, but was not popularized until the twentieth at words and expressions disappeared from current use: century. It is really just ‘boy’ backwards, the implication being that reversing the word shows that something is wrong with the child or youth in question – in this case that the lad is an uncouth ruffian up to no good, and certainly capable of causing aggro (q.v.). Today we tend to say ‘ASBO’ (from Anti-Social Behaviour Order, a civil order in the UK and Ireland prohibiting certain specified behaviour; breaching an ASBO is a criminal offence) or ‘hoodie’ (from the hooded tops worn by many yobs) where once we said ‘yobbo’, but the meaning is the same: a young male engaged in, or likely to be engaged in, anti-social behaviour at best, criminal activities at worst. (Curiously, the adjective ‘yobbish’ to describe the behaviour is heard far more often than ‘yob’ or ‘yobbo’; ‘yobette’, for the female equivalent, has never really caught on, and the noun ‘yobbery’ is also quite uncommon nowadays.) This view of predominantly poor, often poorly educated and sometimes unruly young men is a common thread in British society and one that both the founder of the Scout movement, Robert Baden- Powell, and Rudyard Kipling, as well as several more recent commentators, have railed against. They and others have often pointed out that the demonized yob of peacetime is very often the hero in war (Tommy, q.v.). © 2009 Chris Roberts – Lost English – Words and Phrases That Have Vanished From Our Language – Michael O’Mara Books Limited

Who remembers wild card Eric Moussambani, the swimmer who’d never seen an Olympic size pool yet persevered to finish his 100m; or Lawrence Lemieux, the Canadian sailor who abandoned his race to save another capsized boat, before continuing to finish 21st. Three-awn Grass – Aristida sp, track verge, Eagle Heights. Or Jesse Owens who wasn’t “supposed” to win. He was black and competing in track and field in 1936 in Berlin. Hitler’s Germany saw Owens Three-awn Grass as a lesser athlete because of the colour of his skin. Owens went on to win four gold medals with dignity, grace and outstanding performance. I filmed the grass at the end of the sealed road in Tamborine Gorge below Panorama Point. It is a tranquil spot. Also known Yet there is more to the Olympics than the competition.

With double the number of police, 85,000, compared to London we can only wish that the Games pass peacefully and without major incident.

Plus, it’s quite easy to grow - it will thrive in a garden, window box or pot. 8. Store kale in a plastic bag in the fridge for up to three days - the taste will be more bitter the longer you keep it. 9. Choose smaller leaves or buy baby kale for eating fresh, as these are likely to be more tender and mild in flavour - look for crisp, bright green kale with no yellow or brown spots 10. Whizz up chopped fresh kale as part of your regular pesto recipe for a delicious twist - you can try substituting all of the greens or just a few. Chip Recipe I’d heard all about kale chips, and read how they mimicked the taste of potato chips perfectly. So I decided to give these a go with a bunch of organic kale figuring that I would have nothing to lose except weight. I tried it a few stems of kale just to test it out. It only took about 2 minutes of prep and then 20 minutes in a low oven. I turned them over halfway and they looked like oily, limp lettuce. Fearing the worst, I put them back in and set the timer again. After another 10 minutes, I checked them again. Something had happened during this time and they were thin and crispy and crunchy and somehow, they tasted like thin potato chips!

1. Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan forced. Remove leaves from the stems. Tear the leaves into chip-sized pieces. 2. Spray a baking tray with olive oil spray. Spread the kale pieces over the tray and spray with olive oil spray. 3. Bake the leaves, turning halfway, for 10-12 minutes or until crisp. Season to taste with sea salt and optional spices such as Paprika, chili or Chinese five spice.
