ZONTA IS ZOOMING

You can’t keep good women down! Zonta Blackall Range is continuing its meetings on Zoom. Zonta District 22 (that’s 44 clubs throughout Queensland) has set up an account and clubs can book their meetings through that. It is a bit like the proverbial curate’s egg (‘good in parts’) but we are having a lot of fun looking at ourselves on the screen as we try to hear what everyone is saying.

We are even going to ‘induct’ a couple of new members and hold our AGM online. And we have just made a donation to our major project, the Maleny Women’s House, managed under the auspices of the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre for homeless women, one of the most vulnerable groups in the community today.

We are continuing to seek candidates for our two scholarships. Women tertiary students from second year on studying either STEM subjects or Humanities can still apply. Anyone within those criteria should contact our Scholarship chair, Linda McElrea, on [email protected] She will email you an application form.

And in the next couple of months we WILL be continuing our annual Birthing Kit packing. Birthing Kits Australia has devised a program of in-home packing that we will follow. Babies know nothing about Covid 19, they just keep coming – and the challenges for birthing mothers in developing countries will be even greater at this time of isolation.

“Zonta was established in 1919 in the midst of the worst pandemic the world had known since the plague – the so called ‘Spanish’ flu. We owe it to those New York business women who saw a future in the education of women and girls and gender equality, to fight to keep their legacy alive today”, said current president of the Blackall Range club, Judith Ross-Smith.

LIONS DISASER APPEAL

Blackall Range Lions Club wish to thank the Mapleton Tavern, staff and patrons for supporting their Easter

raffle.

It was drawn on Easter Saturday and

the winner is Brenda from Flaxton.

https://www.facebook.com/MapletonTavern/

QUEENSLAND PARKS AND WILDLIFE SERVICE are working to keep some local national parks, conservation

parks, resource reserves, state forests and recreation areas open

during the COVID-19 pandemic – more information on the area

you are enquiry about can be found on the Department’s

website.

General COVID-19 messaging including currently closed sites/

parks/facilities. This page includes links to the specific closure

information.

Camping area closures including a list of parks and forests with

closed camping areas.

All camping areas remain closed but if you want to exercise in a

national park, choose a local park close to home. As a guide, ask

yourself, can I walk or cycle there versus driving? If your

planned visit is for a purpose other than exercise, now is not the

time to visit. Government and health authorities continue to

advise the community to cancel all holiday and non-essential day

travel plans.

If you arrive at your local national park or other public space for exercise and it is too crowded to practice social distancing, it's your responsibility to leave the area. QPWS Rangers and Queensland Police will be ensuring park visitors are complying with these measures.

Thank you Donna K for this additional information.

Have you heard of the ‘Glad Game’?

Pollyanna is a 1913 novel by American author Eleanor H. Porter,

a classic of children's literature. The book's success led to Porter

soon writing a sequel, Pollyanna Grows Up (1915). Eleven

more Pollyanna sequels, known as ‘Glad Books’, were later

published, most of them written by Elizabeth Borton or Harriet

Lummis Smith. Due to the book's fame, ‘Pollyanna’ has become a

byword for someone who – like the title character – has an

unfailingly optimistic outlook; a subconscious bias towards the

positive is often described as the Pollyanna principle. Despite the

current common use of the term to mean 'excessively cheerful',

Pollyanna and her father played the glad game as a method of

coping with the real difficulties and sorrows that, along with luck

and joy, shape every life.

Pollyanna Statue,

Littleton, New

Hampshire. A town

wears its heart on the

sleeve of a smiling girl,

arms flung wide open

in a cheerful greeting

for all who encounter

her.

ABOUT THE HOUSE AND GARDEN

DURING CONFINEMANT

Blue Banded Bees - Amegilla These bees love visit-ing purple flowers such as native peas. They have beautiful metallic blue green and black bands on their abdomens and golden hairs on their heads and thoraxes. They live along the edges of rainforests, in open forest, wood-land, desert and also in gardens across Australia except Tasma-nia. Blue Banded Bees are amongst our most beautiful Australian native bees. They are about 11 mm long and have bands of me-tallic blue fur across their black abdomens. Blue Banded Bees are solitary bees. This means that each fe-male bee mates and then builds a solitary nest by herself. She builds her nest in a shallow burrow in clay soil or sometimes in mudbricks. Many Blue Banded Bees may build their nest bur-rows in the same spot, close to one another, like neighbouring houses in a village. Blue Banded Bees can perform a special type of pollination called 'buzz pollination'. Some flowers hide their pollen inside tiny capsules. A Blue Banded Bee can grasp a flower of this type and shiver her flight muscles, causing the pollen to shoot out of the capsule. She can then collect the pollen for her nest and carry it from flower to flower, pollinating the flowers. Quite a few of our native Australian flowers require buzz pollination eg Hibbertia, Senna. Tomato flowers are also pollinated better when visited by a buzz pollinating bee.

Varied Eggfly

Hypolimnas bolina

This territorial butterfly is named because the spots on the male’s wings are a distinctive egg shape. The spots show striking colour changes from white to blue to purple when seen at different angles.

The butterfly will ‘attack’ intruders. The male will often land on you—he is saying this is my territory. , keep out.

This species is currently being observed across the Range

A very useful tool for you.

MOUNTING INSECTS

I found the ideas included on these sites quite interesting. I thought you simply poked a pin through the bug. Yes you do but a few steps before that assists with the correct mounting. Two useful site but I am sure there are others. It is worth the time to consider the steps SUGGESTED before mounting your own specimens.

NAME GAME

In this puzzle each letter of the alphabet has been given a

numerical value.

The value of each name is reached by adding the individual

numbers together

A V A = 4 D A L E = 19

D A V E = 15 E V A = 11

What is D E L L A worth?

GOOD GARDENING

A gardener has FIVE days in which to plant out 200 flowerbeds.

All the beds are the same shape and size.

The gardener starts off slowly, but he picks up speed and finishes

his planting in the five days deadline. Each day he planted out 12

more beds than on the previous day.

So how many beds did he plant out on the first day?

Answers

Name Game – D E L L A = 25; E = 8, L = 6, D = 4, V = 2, A = 1

Good Gardening – On the first day he planted out 16 beds. On day 2 he managed, day 3 was 40 day 4 was 52 and day 5 was 64. 16 + 28 + 40 + 52 + 64 = 200

‘THIRD WEEK AT HOME’ QUIZ ANSWERS

1. Jun 28, 2016 - The Fokker Dr. I was a triplane built by Fokker-

Flugzeugwerke during the First World War. The design, based off of Britain's

Sopwith Triplane, is well known thanks to the Red Baron, Manfred von

Richthofen, for being the plane in which he scored his final kills.

2. Name the three musketeers? Athos, Porthos, Aramis

3. Three blind mice rhyme are based in English history. The 'farmer's wife'

refers to the daughter of King Henry VIII, Queen Mary I. Mary was a staunch

Catholic and her violent persecution of Protestants led to the nickname of

'Bloody Mary'. The reference to 'farmer's wife' in Three blind mice refers to

the massive estates which she, and her husband King Philip of Spain,

possessed. The 'three blind mice' were three noblemen who adhered to the

Protestant faith who were convicted of plotting against the Queen - she did

not have them dismembered and blinded as inferred in Three blind mice - but

she did have them burnt at the stake.

4. When buying a Scrabble board game, you may come across several

different variants, but the classic Scrabble board game features light red

squares that represent a double word score, red squares for triple word

scores, light blue squares for a double letter score, and one dark blue square

for a triple letter

5. Triangles - Equilateral, Isosceles and Scalene

6. Three-legged race definition is - a race between pairs of competitors with

each pair having their adjacent legs bound together.

soul group the Commodores for their album Natural High.

9. The 39 Steps by John Buchan Adventurer Richard Hannay, just

returned from South Africa, is thoroughly bored with London life-until he is

accosted by a mysterious American, who warns him of an assassination plot

that could completely destabalise the fragile political balance of Europe.

Initially sceptical, Hannay nonetheless harbours the man-but one dayreturns

home to find him murdered.

10. The ossicles (also called auditory ossicles) are three bones in either

middle ear that are among the smallest bones in the human body. They

serve to transmit sounds from the air to the fluid-filled labyrinth (cochlea).

The absence of the auditory ossicles would constitute a moderate-to-severe

hearing loss. The term "ossicle" literally means "tiny bone". Though the term

may refer to any small bone throughout the body, it typically refers to the

malleus, incus, and stapes (hammer, anvil, and stirrup) of the middle ear.

11. Which colour is at the top? A typical vertical traffic signal has three

aspects, or lights, facing the oncoming traffic, red on top, yellow below, and

green below that. Generally one aspect is illuminated at a time. In some

cases, a fourth aspect, for a turn arrow for example, is below the three lights

or aspects in more complicated road traffic intersections.

12. The three ring circus, invented by Ringling founders P T Barnum and William Coup in 1871, was the apogee of this success. Instead of watching a single act, three acts would perform simultaneously in three rings.

SUPPORTING EACH OTHER The world has changed rather rapidly for all of us. Getting used to the ‘new normal’ is challenging and for some quite distressing. My ‘new normal’ as your local representative has become trying to help many people faced with losing their job, losing their business, fears about their health, confusion with the rules and what might be considered exceptions to those rules. Everyone has been impacted differently but everyone has been impacted. However, as we are all in this together can I suggest some ways we might help each other. If you are one of the many people who haven’t lost income and are working from home, why not use this time to hire a local tradie to come and fix something you’ve been putting off. Tradies I have spoken to speak of work ‘drying up’ as people fear or experience income loss. If you have the capacity, now is a good time to give them some work within the social distancing rules and hygiene practices of course. And what about supplies? Check out the Sunshine Coast Food and Agribusiness Facebook page for ideas on how to support local suppliers. I visited and did media with one of our new local brewers in Yandina, Terella Brewing. They are moving into production of takeaways in order to keep their popular business going after the shutdown of their bar area. They should be set up for online orders in the very near future, consider getting your beer there and supporting our local businesses through these times. There are many other local businesses we can support while staying within the rules about going out only for essential reasons. If you’re thinking of buying something, think local. One more way we can be creative about maintaining a bit of normality is to try and keep ANZAC Day as meaningful as possible. See my Facebook page for a campaign to get everyone to go to the end of the driveway at 6am, as suggested by the RSL, for a minute’s silence, but to also dress up appropriately as you normally would and #wearyoursuit. I will also be profiling local ANZAC heroes who lost their lives during the month on Facebook. If you have a story and photograph you would like me to include please email to my office. My staff and I continue to work hard every day answering queries, writing to Ministers and advocating for the things we need. Unfortunately personal visits are out for the time being unless critical but I’m a phone call or email away. Keep being patient and kind with each other, support local and dress up for ANZAC Day.
