LINDA’S “VINE” LINES

State Member for Kurwongbah

Happy New Year!  I hope that everyone had an enjoyable and safe Christmas and festive season. 

With the start of the school year, I would urge everyone to remember to drive safely near schools and to be especially careful where buses pick up and drop off children.  As you know, children can be unpredictable and drivers need to be prepared for the unexpected.

dancing and much more . . . .

We hope to start the Dayboro students on Dance exams in Term 4 of this year and would also like to get “Song & Dance” and Drama classes up and running in 2008.

Our Dayboro studio held its Open Day for 2008 at the Dayboro Community Hall on Wednesday 30^th January  We had teachers, students doing demonstrations, uniforms and school information packs were available on the day. 

Recently, our Dayboro Head Teacher – Mrs Karen Mellers – accompanied me and 13 of our students to Melbourne where we chaperoned the students who were attending the Australian Ballet School Summer School. I have attached a photo of Karen with the students (aged 10yrs-17yrs) at the foyer of the Australia Ballet Centre.

to Ray White Dayboro

Bree Kuczma moved into Dayboro for the first time six years ago. At that time the town ran off a foodstore on the then main road, McKenzie Street and the pub was a common gathering ground on a Friday night.  Now we are a bustling and growing community, though still as unique and close knit as the day when there really wasn’t that much here.  These days you may not know everyone in line at the IGA, though you can be sure that they are as genuine as the blokes still yarning over a beer in the Pub.  We all live here for the same reason, we love this place.  It’s not often that you get your dream job in your little piece of Paradise, though that is exactly what happened to Bree when she was accepted as a Sales Agent for Ray White Dayboro.

Some courses run from a few days or several weeks spread over a generous time frame so as not to be too "heavy ".  We have had ladies over 90 yrs (young ) attending so all can be catered for generally, providing a very small membership fee and course attendance cost.  Our courses are run by people in your own age group in a friendly and helpful manner – no hard workload .

Come and join us!

With the start of a New Year come the New Year resolutions, the promise to quit smoking, and 2008 is the year I lose weight and get fit, and that is all going to happen in the first month, sound familiar.  We have all been there at some time in our life, but you know that it can happen, not in the first month, but it can happen.  2008 can be the year you achieve all of the above if you, prioritize, take it one day at a time, set small achievable goals at first, and very important, be disciplined.

Gumboots! Rain! Mud! Rain!  Pink-Eye! Wormy calves! Rain!  Mud! Thistles!. Stinking Roger! Rain! Mud!

What a summer we are having! But there is grass and water too, what a novelty for our sunburned hills!

Our daughter and her family came over to the Sunshine State from the Land of the Long White Cloud for two weeks and Christmas. They didn’t see the sun once.  But they went home to clear warm sunny days – certainly aberrant weather for Auckland too!

This is the first time since we have been on the Mountain that we have seen pink-eye or barber’s pole anaemia in young calves on their mothers – so be warned!

Biosphere plans for the D’Aguilar Range landscape

(BIOSPHERE MEETING March 17 – see separate article)

Community groups and residents are encouraged to examine a plan to create a sustainable future for the D’Aguilar Range and its surrounds through a Biosphere initiative.

Biosphere project spokesperson Rosalind Leslie said the voluntary integrated land management strategy is aimed at securing the social, economic and environmental values of the D’Aguilar Range and its surrounding landscape ahead of, and in concert with, the region’s predicted growth.
