Unlock the potential of Cooroy’s RV Stopover
THE number of visitors utilising Cooroy’s RV Park in Mary River Road has been steadily increasing since it became operations almost two years ago, but is still running at a loss. Although Council remains committed to the park they say in order to reach break-even the park would have to increase its turnover by around 237% or an additional 3803 visitor nights per year. Currently the park is managed by the contractor of the Boreen Point caravan park at a cost of $18,500 per year plus 50 percent of the take. Council is currently seeking Expressions of Interest from community groups willing to manage the park to reduce this overhead, but according to well-travelled grey nomads Ray Kelly and Doug
Claydon, getting new managers at a lower cost is not all that’s required to get the best from what they believe is the most under-utilised asset in our community. They say the thing holding our RV Park back is the lack of facilities available to visitors. With the blessing of the Cooroy Chamber of Commerce Mr Kelly, who many will know from his long stint as a councillor for Cooroy, and long time local and business owner Mr Claydon, have liaised with the both the car club and pony club and have established a friendly working relationship with both groups who utilise the grounds and facilities.

Unlock the potential of Cooroy’s RV Stopover Continued from Page 1 Mr Kelly and Mr Claydon have dedicated a large amount of time researching other successful RV Stopovers in our area and have made a submission to Council detailing what they believe is required to make the Cooroy RV Park a successful operation, but are becoming increasingly frustrated at the lack of response they have received from Council. “Clearly the Council’s business model is severely flawed and to continue down this path is not only unacceptable but irresponsible in view of the loss of ratepayers’ monies and the business community need to be aware of this,” said Mr Claydon. “Even in the unlikely event of finding an EOI at half the current iniquitous management fee, then an increase of 140% in RV visits would be required. This will not happen if there are no facilities,” he stated. Data gathered by Mr Kelly and Mr Claydon clearly show that in all successful RV Parks,
toilets and showers are provided. The facilities are already there. They just need to be unlocked and available for visitors to use. “If this is done on a user-pays basis (showers) there should be no cost to Council,” said Mr Claydon. “The opportunities that a well-run RV Stop offers are enormous, not only to the business community, but to the benefit of the whole Shire. Properly run and facilitated, the cost to Council in the short to medium term would be near zero and even profitable. “There are over 70,000 members of the CMCA (Caravan and Motorhome Club of Australia). That’s a lot of potential visitors to our area, but the Cooroy RV Park is not even listed on their website because of its lack of facilities. “That’s a big untapped market. The last caretaker of the Cooroy RV Park collected dockets from visitors to get a rough idea of what they were spending here and it was around $50,000 per month, and that’s an estimated one-third of the real total. That sort of money
being spent in and around Cooroy is good for everyone. The math is simple. Making facilities available to visitors, means more visitors and in turn more dollars being spent in and around Cooroy. That’s just good business sense and good management. “Council have told us that building a facilities block will cost upwards of $500,000. That’s ridiculous. There are already toilets there. They’re already being used by the car club and pony club for their events. There’s no need to build new ones. It doesn’t make sense. And paying someone $18,500 a year to collect the takings from the caretaker once a week doesn’t make sense either. This is our money, ratepayers’ money, that as far as we’re concerned is being mismanaged. I don’t think it’s too much to ask that we be heard, that our submission be discussed so we can come up with a plan to get our RV Park running property so it is the asset it should and can be, to Cooroy.” “Council should just ask the caretakers and the visitors what’s required to gain more visits – the answer clearly – improve facilities!”

Belli Park Campus great opportunity for students Noosa District State High School was given a fantastic opportunity 18 months ago to take possession of a 300 acre farming property out at Belli Park, known as Mimburi. The property is quite special due to its history, strong links to the history of the local indigenous community and its more recent role in the decision to cancel the Traveston Dam Project. The property shares its boundaries with the Mary River, Belli Creek and Blackfella Creek, and is home to important species including Mary River cod, Mary River turtle, barred frog, platypus and is an important breeding zone for mullet. The first stage of the project was to rebuild and improve the existing infrastructure on the property. Property manager Stan Chandler, his family and local contractors repaired roads and buildings, removed structures, reinstated old fences and built new ones, cleared paddocks of debris and improved the pastures for
agri-business opportunities for NDSHS. Mr Chandler has also worked closely with Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee (MRCCC) and Noosa Landcare who continue to eradicate undesirable flora such as cats claw, and plan to do some major replanting in the near future along the waterways to replenish the riparian zones. Project manager Andrew Mahony and his team have begun the process of creating an outdoor, environmental and agriculture campus to expand the educational opportunities of all NDSHS students. The existing shed will be transformed into a classroom, separate dining area, bush kitchen, staffroom and disabled toilet/shower facility. The team are planing and sourcing facilities and equipment for three campsite areas, including two compost toilet blocks (with help from a Community Sustainability Fund grant), a shower block and camping equipment. NDSHS hopes to deliver a number of new school camps next year.

The boys’ YABBA program have begun assisting with various work projects at Belli Park Campus, expanding their skill set and working within a team environment. “One thing is for certain, the property inspires all that visit it, and new ideas on how this fantastic asset can improve the learning opportunities are generated every day,” Mr Mahony said. A core value of this project is to develop solid connections with local business, families and community organisations to im-

Wombats getting ready for finals football THE Matildas are inspiring a new generation of footballers and as the regular season winds down, a number of Cooroora United FC teams are getting ready to play their most important games. Last week, club members got together to celebrate a great year and share their excitement about the finals that lie ahead. CUFC president, Tony McCarthy said it’s been a great year for the club. “The players are working really hard at all age levels and it’s wonderful to see the results. In particular, the U15 boys are pushing towards the finals whilst the U17 boys are also looking to lock in the Premiership by finishing top of the ladder in the regular season! The U16 girls have also had a great year and been competitive right to the end. To see so many of our teams out there enjoying their football is terrific for the volunteers who put so much time into the club,” he added. Cooroy and Pomona Community Bank manager, Geoff Edwards also called by to wish the club well and announce Bendigo Bank’s re-com-
CUFC and Bendigo Bank celebrate their long partnership and the 2017 finals push with the U17 team representatives mitment to Cooroora United FC in 2018. “Renewing our sponsorship for 2018 is the next step in a great relationship with the Wombats. We’re able to commit to sponsorships like this as more locals choose to do their banking with us. Our motto is ‘bank with us and everyone benefits’. I think
we can all see great things ahead for the club and the work of Tony, Justin, Andrew, Megan and all the committee has shone through,” Geoff said. Tony McCarthy added that CUFC’s sponsors have all played a key role in the recent success. “Being our major sponsor, Bendigo Bank’s sup-
port of Cooroora United FC allows our club to keep playing the game we love. The fact that they are already committing to us again in 2018 means a lot to us on and off the field. We’ve celebrated eight seasons with Bendigo now - it’s greatly appreciated as our club is on a
real high right now,” he said. Anyone looking to catch some of the final round games, some finals action or become involved with Cooroora United FC can download the app or contact the club through any of the numbers on its website: cufc.org.au

After ten and a half hours of riding on diverse terrain, this year’s Equestrian Australia Endurance Championships held last week came down to the last two seconds with Akhmed Pshuno from Imbil taking out the national title ahead of fellow-local and current Queensland State Champion Kaylea Maher. Pshunov, riding Sangah The Messiah, completed the course at an average speed of approximately 15km per hour after setting off at 3am. It was a close race throughout with runner-up Kaylea Maher riding A’Landell Ali once again having to settle for second place after coming in only three seconds behind the winner in the 2016 Championships. Matthew Sample, owner of the hosting venue Stirling’s Crossing Equestrian Complex, said the event was a great success and congratulated Mr Pshunov on the win. “Akhmed had a great ride and the competition was tight throughout. It’s always exciting when an endurance event comes down to the final seconds,” Mr Sample said. “We are delighted to be hosting the national championships for the second year in a row and thank everyone for their involvement and support.” Third place went to Brook Sample from Kenilworth who rode Brookleigh Bailey over the finish line securing a time of 11 hours and four minutes. Tracy-Lee Feltrin took out first place in the 120km race.

Snakes Alive! WELL Cooroy seems to be the place where the giants live. Last Monday snake catcher, Luke Huntley, was called out to a property in Black Mountain to catch this massive 12 foot Carpet python. Thats 3.4m. Luke says it has to be some kind of record, and definitely one of the biggest he’s got in a long time. The very healthy snake weighed in at almost 10kg. “We're certainly having an early start to snake season,” says Luke. “I'm getting regular calls every day again. Despite being winter the snakes are on the move big time! Be mindful it’s not just Carpet pythons that are on the move. Eastern browns and Red bellies are on the move again too. If you see one give it space to move on or call me straight away: 0499 920 290. I'm available 24/7. And live locally. I'm rarely more than 15 mins away. “So keep your eyes peeled and stay alert. They’re only going to get more active as it gets warmer. Happy Spring all.”
Letter to the Editor AS a 76 year old, I am down in Cooroy CBD nearly every day. I am yet to have a close shave with a skateboard or scooter rider. Take the time to admire the skills of some of these kids with skinny legs who can ride their scooter and then jump up, swing their body in a 360 degree arc, land on the board again and ride off as smooth as poetry in motion. As all knowing adults we say get off the couch you kids and get some exercise . That is what they are doing and then they are criticised. In our youth, my friends and I rode our go carts down the footpath from the Bendigo Bank area
to past the chemist and round the old bank corner at great speed and good fun. We would repair them and oil the wheels to go faster. We didn’t realise it then but we were learning the skills of design, building, repair and maintenance that is still important to us to this very day. The kids I speak to are very courteous and I tell them “I wish I could do that”. If you want to alter bad behaviour in our town, stop the all knowing adults who walk out in front of the cars when there is a purpose built pedestrian crossing a few metres away. Rob Jeffs, Cooroy

Those who own a business think about ways of improving and strengthening their business every day. You probably don’t think about how it might cope without you, or indeed how you might cope without it. But just like every other sort of insurance, business risk protection is something you need to think about and plan for in case of future need. Try considering the 3Ds – determine value, decide strategy, document agreement. Determine the value of your business • How much is the business worth? • Is the value based on an agreed formula, dollar value or an independent assessment? Decide who should be left with what after the departure of a business party • Who takes ownership of the business? • What are the family’s needs and expectations? • What are the business’s needs and expectations? • What is the family’s ongoing role in the management of the business? • What is involved in the day-to-day management of the business? Document the agreement • A solicitor can help business owners set up a Buy/Sell Agreement to document how an outgoing proprietor’s business interest will be transferred to the continuing proprietor(s) upon a trigger event. Insurance is one of many solutions, so speak to a specialist to help you determine whether it’s the most appropriate and cost-effective option for your business protection needs.
When is a good time to shop for business risk insurance? If you are sitting on the fence or think you’ll get around to it some day, take a minute and ask yourself the following questions? • What would happen to your business if you were sick or injured? • Will your current insurances, including those within super funds, be enough to pay-off your debts (eg. loan repayments) and keep your family comfortable for the rest of their lives? • What is the cost to your business if you talked to a specialist about putting in place the required strategy and funding to protect you, your family and the business? If you would like to discuss this type of insurance, please do not hesitate to contact me and I can arrange an obligation free consultation with one of Bendigo Bank’s specialists. Just call into Cooroy or Pomona Community Bank branches or email me at geoff.edwards@bendigoadelaide.com.au.

or residential aged care can also vary and will depend on income and assets, as assessed by the Department of Human Services or the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. With a residential aged care facility there may be one-off payments (or deposits), as well as ongoing fees for care, accommodation and daily living expenses. If you’re a self-funded retiree, it’s a good idea to seek an income assessment before commencing an at-home-care package or entering residential aged care to avoid paying maximum fees and charges. Deciding to have a discussion is the first step. So, if you’re in a situation where you need to approach the topic of aged care, whether it’s for yourself or a loved one, it’s better to do it sooner rather than later. Remember, it may not be easy and it’s fairly normal for people to resist this type of conversation. For this reason, it’s a good idea to approach the topic as a series of conversations so that you (or your loved one) are in a better position to articulate what you want to happen. Things worth considering when approaching the topic include: • Being deliberate about the time and place for these conversations • Thinking about whether other family members should be included • Whether relevant paperwork is accessible and in order • Whether third parties, like the family doctor, could help by offering their perspective. More information As there are complexities and tax implications to work through when it comes to aged care, including for example whether to sell the family home, please contact us on 07 5447 7740. Other useful resources include: • The My Aged Care website, https:// www.myagedcare.gov.au/, is a useful first point of call • ASIC’s MoneySmart website, which has further information on aged care.

It’s possible that in the future you, or someone close to you, may need some form of care or daily living assistance. With lots of information to sift through and the conversation sometimes a tricky one to approach, we’ve pulled together some information to make navigating aged care an easier process. The current state of affairs The Australian government has projected that in 40 years the number of people aged over 100 will be 300 times what it was in the mid-1970’s, with an ageing population shining a light on aged care services. Meanwhile, industry figures show: • More than 50% of people over age 45 have previously, or are currently, dealing with aged care services for themselves, or on someone else’s behalf • The likelihood a woman over age 65 will require residential care in her lifetime is 54%. For men, that figure is slightly lower at 37% • The total cost of aged care in Australia is projected to reach around $290 billion by 2055. There are several types of aged care services available. Each has an eligibility criteria and an assessment process which can be organised through the government’s My Aged Care initiative. Options include: • Help in your own home – if you are generally able to manage, but require assistance with daily tasks, there are various home-care packages available. You can search for providers online or phone My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 to discuss options. • After-hospital (transition) care – if you’ve been in hospital, but need assistance while you recover and additional time to think about the best place to live longterm, this type of service can be provided in your own home or ‘live-in’ setting for 12 to 18 weeks. • Respite care – this service provides support for you and your primary carer when your carer has other duties to attend to, or when they’re on holiday. • Residential aged care – this is where you live in full service residences and receive ongoing care and support. If it’s the best option for you, it’s a good idea to research and visit several residences to find the right place in terms of location, services and activities. • Short-term restorative care – this provides a range of services over eight weeks to help prevent or slow down difficulties with completing everyday tasks. It aims to improve wellbeing and independence, and delay or reverse the need to enter long-term care. The costs for after-hospital, respite and short-term restorative care depend on the level of care and how long it’s required. The fees for an at-home-care package

THE Noosa Shire community should feel confident that the vast majority of the items that they put in their recycling bin are recycled. The contents of Noosa’s recycling bins (yellow lid) go to the Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) near Nambour to be sorted. They are then dealt with under a contract with Visy. In a statement, Visy advised council, “I can confirm that all recyclable material (including glass) delivered to the Nambour MRF is beneficially reused
in accordance with the terms and conditions of our contract and that no materials, other than contaminants, are sent to landfill.” Mayor Tony Wellington said that Council’s Towards Zero Waste initiative commits to both reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill and increasing recycling efforts. ”It’s important to note that a significant amount of recycling occurs on-site at our resource recovery centre on EumundiNoosa Rd. For example, garden waste is mulched and made available free of charge to the public. Building waste, including timber, concrete and metal, is seg-
regated. The concrete and timber is crushed and reused on site or else it is sold. Metals are sent to Sims Metal for recycling. “Residents can also drop off a wide range of other items at the resource recovery centre for recycling by specialist recyclers. These include e-waste such as old televisions and computer equipment, tyres, batteries, light bulbs, mattresses, printer cartridges, polystyrene and engine oil. “The recycle shop at the Eumundi-Noosa Road resource recovery centre is another way in which Council is helping to reduce landfill. We encourage the community to drop
off unwanted items to the shop, particularly if they are still in working order or in need of minor repairs. Better that such items are reused than fill up our landfill. “We are also pleased to be trialling new road surfaces made from recycled glass, toner salvaged from used printer cartridges, plus rubber from old car tyres. “The new 3 bin collection service will allow Council to further divert garden waste from landfill and then process it on-site for reuse as mulch. To date, organic matter has contributed to around half of all waste ending up in landfill. The new green

waste bins will thus have long term benefits in terms of the life of the landfill, as well as costs associated with landfill management.As organic matter is a major source of greenhouse gases, diverting green waste from landfill will result in reduced greenhouse gas emissions. “The take-home message is that residents should continue to divert recyclable materials from the general waste stream, and thus from our landfill, by putting them into the recycling bin.” To find out more about Noosa Council recycling v i s i t : h t t p s : / / www.noosa.qld.gov.au/recycling-waste-services

COOROY RAG
HAVING moved from Longreach to start the business two years ago the Rose family have made Cooroy their home. They haven’t regretted a moment of it, making lots of friends and discovering how many people in town have links to Longreach. Scott Rose says he has seen a steady growth in the business, and their second year has really taken off. He credits this to not only the wide range of products they stock, but because their customers appreciate the knowledge and expertise that only a family who has been in the Pump business for four generations can offer, and the value of the good old-fashioned service they get. The Roses now have a comprehensive knowledge of the region as well, having delivered, installed and serviced pumps, windmills, and irrigation systems from Black Mountain to Tiaro and up to Caboolture. So if you’re looking for something as simple as a hose fitting, or a complex irrigation system, or any sort of pump, drop into the shop that is well equipped with Poly (metric and rural), Camlock, Brass fittings, various pumps, Poly by the roll or metre, pool chemicals, salt and chlorine, filters and filter cartridges, floats and valves, pressure switches and press controls and much more. At the moment, due to the dry weather, their water tanks are walking out the door, as well as the weed sprayers complete with trailer and pump for easy use in time for spraying this bindi season. Happy 2nd Birthday to Cooroy Pumps and Solar, 7 Diamond St, ph. 5447 6832.
‘Makerspace’ in the making COOROY is set to gain its own makerspace. Makerspaces, also called hackerspaces, hackspaces, and fablabs, are places where people gather to work on joint creative projects, typically involving technology. The makerspace will provide an opportunity for people to access new and emerging technology, which they may not otherwise have had access to. “It will be a place to test drive all sorts of high tech equipment including 3D printers, 3D modelling, robotics such as Arduino kits, and Virtual Reality technology,” Ms King said. Noosa Library Service won a grant to fund and develop their own makerspace within Cooroy Library. The traditional training room will be redesigned into the Makerspace and will include areas for making, learning and socialising. “The makerspace will be a place where people can gather and share ideas and use emerging technologies to explore, tinker, invent and discover and through this exploration new ideas and new
www.cooroyrag.com.au
ways of thinking will emerge,” says Literacy and Learning Coordinator Tracey King. The library will encourage people who use the space to document what they learn and share it by way of workshops and lectures, and by contributing to online library and maker websites. The makerspace, developed in partnership with local tech groups, will be established over the coming months. The library hopes to open it to the public in early 2018. Cooroy Library will continue to provide computer and internet access for customers alongside the creation of this new digitally-creative space. The Cooroy Makerspace will be designed to grow as momentum builds around the increasingly popular concept. This project has received financial assistance from the Queensland Government through State Library of Queensland.

news Cheers all round as Eumundi Brewery re-opens ATTENTION beer lovers! The much-anticipated Eumundi Brewery at the iconic Imperial Hotel Eumundi will officially reopen on Friday 25 August, with the new beers available on tap. The beers will be available at many great pubs and clubs across the Sunshine Coast from the long weekend in late September. Brewed on site in the home of the original Eumundi Brewery, the new Eumundi Brewery’s first beers are a reinvented Eumundi Brewery Lager and a mid-strength Eumundi Brewery Pale Ale. Lion’s Master Brewer Chuck Hahn has steered the Eumundi Brewery project along with Head Brewer Chris Sheehan. Both brewers are excited to see the revival of a much-loved local craft beer for Queensland. “Eumundi is unquestionably an artisan village, and we’re thrilled to add our own craft to the mix – in the form of a great range of flavoursome craft beers!,” said Chuck. “These are beers that will be appreciated by locals, as well as the many visitors who flock to Eumundi, and indeed the Sunshine Coast. Our beers are brewed to international standards, but with loads of local input.” Head Brewer Chris Sheehan said this is just the beginning for the Eumundi Brewery. “Our first Eumundi Brewery lager brew and pale ale brew came out right where we wanted them to, and we’re excited to share them. We’ll now start looking at our first seasonal beer a Ginger Pale Ale, which should be a heap of fun partnering with local ginger growers,” Chris said. Manager of the Imperial Hotel Paul Thomas said it’s exciting to be partnering with Lion to bring back a truly local beer to Eumundi and the Sunshine Coast region and to be able to share an authentic brewing experience with visitors. “Visitors to the hotel can watch the brewers at work and see where the brewing takes place through big glass windows,” Paul said. “From October we’ll be offering Brewery Tours so people can learn more about the brewing process and our flavoursome yet very drinkable beers.”
Lion’s Master Brewer Chuck Hahn, Imperial Hotel Manager Paul Thomas, Head Brewer Chris Sheehan and Brewer Allan Tilden celebrate the opening of Eumundi Brewery EUMUNDI Lager was born in 1988, after John Lynch (a brewing engineer and developer) invited people to invest in a brewery in Eumundi. The group purchased the Imperial Hotel, installed a brewery and launched Eumundi Lager in February 1988. Following a brief public listing, the Eumundi brewery was closed in 1992 and brewing was contracted to Yatala Brewery (formerly Powers Brewing then CUB). Brewing ceased in 2004. October 2016 saw the announcement of a new partnership between Lion and the Imperial Hotel – to see a return of the muchmissed local beer brand, Eumundi

Ross Wilson live at the Brewery
Friday 1 September – Imperial Hotel, Eumundi: He’s one of Australian rock music’s most enduring and lauded talents and Mr Eagle Rock Ross Wilson is heading to The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Friday 1 September. Twice inducted in to the ARIA Hall of Fame (1989 solo and 2006 with Daddy Cool), Wilson continues to win acclaim. Eagle Rock has been included in the National Film and Sound Archive ‘Sounds of Australia Collection’, and singles from his latest album, the contemporary ‘I Come In Peace’ have been added to playlists nationally. From Daddy Cool to Mondo Rock, as a solo artist, or as songwriter of Agrade classics such as Eagle
www.cooroyrag.com.au
Rock, Cool World and A Touch of Paradise, or producer of the legendary Skyhooks, Jo Jo Zep, The Johnnys, and more recently The Screaming Jets, Ross’s involvement with success has continued unabated. He fronted Daddy Cool and exploded out of the 70’s playing rootsy 50’s sounds. He then formed Mondo Rock who surfed the contemporary scene with chart topping singles and albums from the mid 70’s to the late 80’s. As a solo performer and major songwriter he continued to achieve success and make his mark during the 90s and beyond with songs recorded by artists as diverse as Jimmy Barnes, John Farnham,
DEF-FX, Custard, Jennifer Rush (EU), Troy Cassar-Daley, Leslie Avril, Hey Gringo, You Am I, Uncle Bill, Keke (Spain), Renee Geyer, Christine Anu, Duane Jarvis (US), Elkie Brooks (UK), Ann Kirkpatrick & Lee Kernaghan, Sovereign, Pleasantville, Beccy Cole, Sonic Jihad, and The Wiggles! On trips to Europe and the USA, he collaborated with writers and concluded the millenium as a special guest performer on John Farnham’s “I Can’t Believe I’m 50" tour and CD/DVD. Ross also kept a busy tour schedule with his live action band Ross Wilson & The Peaceniks, including national appearances on the successful ‘A Day On The Green’ series with Chris Isaak and also Crosby Stills & Nash. Another highlight was his ‘5 Decades Of Cool’ concert series in Melbourne and Sydney and the resulting DVD ‘Ross Wilson Live At The Palais’ showcasing a long and diverse catalogue with guest performances from members of The Pink Finks, The Party Machine, Daddy Cool, Spectrum,
Mondo Rock, Skyhooks and a three song duet with Jimmy Barnes. Now with the ‘I Come In Peace’ album being his most successful solo album since “Dark Side of the Man”, Wilson continues to expand his horizons. Tickets: Pre-sale $30 (+ booking fee) through Oztix or at the Imperial Hotel (Ph:5442 8811). $35 at the door. Doors open 7.30pm. The Imperial Hotel’s FREE courtesy bus operates Friday and Saturday nights from 5pm + Sundays

Health in the Modern Day WITH it’s abundance of processed food, increased stress and reduced opportunities for exercise; it’s no surprise that modern life puts a strain on the body. The increased exposure to toxins builds up and can lead to health problems; a sign that the body is being pushed beyond its threshold of tolerance. Nutritionist and Naturopath, Jodie Persovic, explains more.
The combined sources of toxins that the body has to deal with, is called the toxic load. Exposure to ordinary everyday products like dish-wash liquid, skin and hair products, plastics and petroleum all increase this load. Even the air we breathe (especially in traffic areas) can contain invisible noxious chemicals like benzene, and there is pesticide residue on many fruits and veg-
etables. The good news is that the body is very good at dealing with toxins. Problems start when the load is higher than the amount the body can eliminate. Toxins also accumulate over time, being stored in fat tissue and organs. The toxic load contributes to health problems in different parts of the body including; Infertility, and foetal health problems, autoimmune conditions, metabolic syndrome, anxiety and depression, thyroid and other hormone disruptions, chronic fatigue and cancer. We all want to avoid
getting sick, and just as regular house work and a spring clean keeps our house in good shape, same goes for our body. Some people are attracted to the idea of a Spring Clean or Detox for the body, and others not so much. Regardless of how we might feel about getting the toxins out, the fact remains, if the body has less of them it will be healthier. A detox doesn’t need to be a radical diet or complicated lifestyle change, the following are all things that will reduce the toxic load: 1. Eat better: as obvious as this sounds, the details could fill a volume of an encyclopaedia. It
may be worth consulting a dietary expert if you want significant results; 2. Improve Gut Health: this part is an extension of item 1, when food is not digested properly, the toxins produced by dysbiotic organisms (bad bugs) can increase; 3. Drink better: ideally aim for filtered water, herbal teas, green tea, plain soda water and/or lemon water. Avoid instant coffee. If you tolerate coffee, choose freshly ground whole beans. Alcohol and soft drinks are not doing the body any favours; 4. Remove the chemi-
cals: These days it is fairly easy to find nontoxic, natural products for cleaning the house or for personal hygiene and most are equally effective as the chemical versions; 5. Daily exercise: the increase in circulation and perspiration (ensure you drink plenty of water) are good for eliminating toxins; 6. Reduce stress: recreation, yoga, mediation or anything you can do to relax will make it much easier for the body to do what it needs to do; 7. Supplements: there are nutritional supplements and herbal medicines that work by
boosting the body’s natural detox function. When taken in combination with all or some of the above steps these become especially effective. Staying healthy in the modern world is more than just “a pill for every ill”. Lifestyle, nutrition and herbal medicines can support your natural systems allowing you to get well and stay well in the long term. Jodie Persovic is the Principal Dietitian and founder of Nutrition Means. She is also a Naturopath and specialises in a wide range of health conditions.

Cooroy Yoga community HAVE you ever wondered what yoga is all about? What if yoga wasn’t about being able to touch your toes or being able to get yourself into weird and uncomfortable positions? What if it wasn’t about how you looked in your tights and lycra? What if yoga was a peaceful space where you could leave your worries and stresses at
the door, a peaceful space where you commit to a time and practice for yourself, a peaceful space where you are guided into a deeper awareness of your body, mind and spirit, a peaceful space where there is no judgement, no competition, no comparison ... but a pure acceptance of who you are and where you are at, on the mat, in the moment. What if yoga was a
practice that could help bring clarity to the mind and assist you in dealing with your everyday life and the choices and decisions you have to make in a more balanced, confident and empowered way? The Cooroy Yoga Community was formed by 4 teachers with a passion for sharing yoga with the community. Kari, Elizabeth, Kylie and Lisa all have a desire to share
the practice and benefits of yoga with as many people as possible. They are all qualified teachers from different yoga teaching backgrounds, so you are sure to find a style and approach that suits you, your body, mind and soul. Come and try a class and join our supportive community. Introductory 2 week offer for unlimited classes

Running for Daniel THE Daniel Morcombe Foundation was appreciative of Noosa District State High School’s support of their fundraiser in the lead up to the 7 Sunshine Coast Marathon held last week. NDSHS Year 11 Coordinator Bridge Muir ran the half marathon representing Team Daniel Morcombe Foundation (Team DMF), which included runners in all age divisions running a variety of events. “I was hoping for a time under 2 hours in the half marathon and was stoked with 1 hour, 46 minutes,” Miss Muir said. Team DMF are just short of their fundraising target of $3000, which they hope to attain before the annual Day for Daniel, which NDSHS commemorates each year with a red shirt Day and walk around the school oval.

Life can change at any time WHAT would happen if you were incapable of looking after your own affairs? The Enduring Power of Attorney is a much underestimated document but just as essential, if not more important, as having a will. What is the difference between a General Power of Attorney and an Enduring Power of Attorney? A General Power of Attorney is usually used in a business context. It can authorise someone (known as your attorney) to do anything you are legally entitled to do. It may limit the extent to which your attorney may deal with those matters. However, a General Power of Attorney does not operate when you lose capacity to make decisions. An Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) is a legal document authorising another person, such as a trusted friend or relative, to act on your behalf to handle your affairs. The Enduring Power of Attorney can not only allow someone to handle your affairs if you go overseas or take an extended holiday like a general power of attorney, it will continue to operate if you lose the capacity to make a decision which can occur if you suffer
an accident, are in extremely poor health, or reach an age when you need greater assistance. While a will operates on your death, a Power of Attorney operates during your lifetime. It’s a very important document to have. If you don’t have one you are taking the risk that if you lose your ability to make decisions your financial affairs may be handled by a government department or institutional trustee for a fee. It’s important to discuss this with your solicitor as they will be able to offer advice as to what sort of person would make a good attorney and the important things you should be thinking about when making an EPOA. Making the wrong choice could leave you open to financial abuse or family discord. With conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer’s on the rise an EPOA is something we all should have. Knowing you have an attorney capable of dealing with your affairs when you are absent, very ill or mentally incapacitated gives you peace of mind. For more information call SPM Law on 5440 4800.

COOROY RAG
Gold for Dannica NINE year old Dannica Starkey has returned from Sydney after representing QLD and competing in the Australian Karate Federation National Championships. She was joined by 20 team mates from her club Sunshine Coast Martial Arts in Noosa. Dannica competed in three events, Individual Kata, Team Kata (where 3 team mates must complete their Kata in unison) and her favourite event Kumite (sparring). Along with her partners Damian Mannion and Jack Scotton they placed 4th in Team Kata and although she missed a place in the Individual Kata she was honoured to have been selected to compete in this very strong field of 40 competitors. Her final event the Girls 10 years under 35kg was the most anticipated event for Dannica, after taking home a gold medal
Cooroy Bowls
It’s never too late to learn to sail
The winners of the Cooroy Community Bowls Club Fours Championship were (l to r) Rosslyn Morgan, Gwyn Bruce, Michael Cowan (his first big win!!) & Annabel Wearne
Colin Nalder (who had a stroke some years ago but still plays very well left handed) & Brian Cunnington (Brian began playing at 86 years of age & is still going strong at 92). They are part of the team beaten by just one shot in the Championships.
in her Kumite event last year her goal was to hold her title as National Champion. After winning three fights she secured her place in the final against a Victorian girl. Both girls fought very well it was a very close match, in fact after the final 2 minute buzzer sounded it was a draw. This year the AKF brought in a new ruling that the first point scored the competitor is awarded ‘senshu’ and in the event of a draw the person with senshu is the winner. So for the second year in a row Dannica Starkey has brought home a lovely shiny gold medal and her title as National Champion. Dannica’s parents would love to thank their friends and family for their ongoing support and encouragement and of course her wonderful team mates, coaches and amazing Sensei’s from SCMA.

THE Racing Season is about to begin at the Lake Cootharaba Sailing Club in Boreen Point. Club racing for juniors, monohulls, catamarans, trailer sailers and sailboards is held each Sunday for members and visitors. LCSC is a family orientated, not-for-profit organization and is reliant on its volunteer members to organise both on-water and shore based activities. New members, both sailing and social, are always welcome to help out with any activity around the club, particularly with the race management side of this. Members are taught basic skills to be able to detect wind direction and set courses for the competitors and to act as a timekeeper for the starts and finishes. Weekly training sessions are conducted most Sunday mornings by Australian Sailing accredited coaches. During the September school holidays, the Club runs Try Sailings days for adults and for juniors. These days are a great opportunity for a family to come along and see what LCSC is all about and experience the exciting and rewarding sport of sailing. The club owns a small fleet of Vagabonds that make for very stable training dinghies and can easily accommodate both adults and children. We also have sailboards, catamarans, lasers and skiffs available for learners. The Club holds four annual regattas that attract competitors from all over the State as well as northern NSW. LCSC also hosts state and national championships for many classes of boats with sailors traveling from across Australia and overseas to compete. Club racing and training starts on Sunday 3rd September. See www.lcsc.org.au for further details or email rearcomm@lcsc.org.au or Ph 54850727
