Traffic lights in Cooroy?
MP’s Marty Hunt, Sandy Bolton and Mayor Tony Wellington gathered community input about our problem intersections at the Town Meeting held last week Over 200 residents turned out at Cooroy Memorial Hall to hear local MPs Marty Hunt and Sandy Bolton listen to concerns and answer questions on the state-controlled busy town intersections following a comprehensive introduction by Mayor Wellington. Heartfelt and informed questions from the floor were well fielded by the speakers. A conceptual plan from Transport Main Roads (TMR) for traffic lights to be installed at Myall/ Elm and Diamond/Elm intersections was presented, with assurances relayed from TMR that from their comprehensive study that this would be the most effective way to deal with traffic flow through these intersections for the next 20 years. It was stated that both sets of lights would work together to ease congestion and be conducive to traffic flow. TMR declined to attend the meeting, and the conceptual plans were quite light on details particularly in regard to other streets that could be affected by the implementation of the lights, including Miva and Kauri Streets, parking on Diamond Street and access to the corner service station. It was stated that these details would be sorted out and a much more comprehensive plan would be presented by TMR if Cooroy residents decided they were in favour of having the lights in place. While TMR have indicated previously it could take up to 4 years for a budgeted proposal to be acted on by the state Government, Member for Nicklin, Marty Hunt, said his job is to listen to the community and if the Cooroy community wants to go with lights he will fight hard to get that happening as quickly as possible and could possibly have it included in this year’s budget. TMR has stated that a single lane roundabout is not an option, they have identified dual lane roundabouts
would be required to accommodate forecast traffic growth and to accommodate B-Double trucks. This would have significantly higher construction costs, and land would need to be resumed, making it extremely unlikely this would ever be implemented or would be a much longer-term option. The ballot paper which was presented to the meeting from CARA, had each intersection listed separately with the choices to circle being, Lights, Roundabout, No Change. Of the 115 people who filled out the ballot form, 46 wanted lights at the Myall/Elm intersections and 60 preferring a roundabout. There were 10 votes for no change. At the Diamond/Elm intersection, 45 wanted lights, while 60 voted for a roundabout and 11 voted for no change. Though there was also talk and suggestions at the meeting of another road crossing being added over the railway lines, and waiting for a Cooroy Bypass, Marty Hunt has said these options were ‘mega years away.’ A trial period of lights using a temporary traffic light system was also ruled out, as temporary lights work completely different to permanent lights, and cannot work in conjunction with each other when used at both intersections. Submissions to TMR close on February 18, 2019 , so if you couldn’t attend the meeting and would like to have an input go to www.cooroyintersections.com.au and have your say or call Marty Hunt’s office 5406 4100. TMR will then collate the responses they have received and then report back to the Cooroy Community.

Tell us what you think
I am appalled at the options prepared by Department Transport and Main Roads (TMR). Both the signalized intersections and roundabout options would have a massive impact on the visual character of the town centre and are based on providing for even higher volumes of traffic through town, including larger vehicles. TMR, like all Government Departments, is focused only on its departmental responsibility – to pass the maximum
traffic volume efficiently from point A to B. Hence they focus on the small picture not the broader panorama of what town character is desired by the owners of the town – the residents. The core problem is the volume of traffic transiting the town between the highway and the coast and it should be noted that Cooroy is the only town on the Sunshine Coast which still suffers from this issue – every other hinterland town has the highway to coast traffic bypassed.
Without this through traffic there is the possibility for the sections of Elm and Diamond Streets between the railway bridge and the Cenotaph park to be developed into a pedestrian and bicycle friendly streetscape like Sunshine Beach Road, Noosa Junction, with 40klm/hr speed limit, central medians, pedestrian crossings and landscaping. Such a streetscape would encourage commerce in this area (eg old Motel site) and a transit centre could be developed at the railway station. Imagine Eumundi if it had not achieved its bypass. If we want to save the heart of Cooroy we must oppose both the current TMR options, which if implemented would condemn us to becoming another “Parramatta Road”. We need to engage with our Shire Council and become proactive to achieve a bypass of the highway to coast traffic away from the town completely. Phil McGrath (Retired Civil Engineer)
Whatever the outcome, Council needs to stand up for businesses who will be affected if parking spaces are lost. Carol Christensen, Belvedere Newsagency
There are 3 groups of people – those who want traffic lights; those who don’t want traffic lights because they just don’t like traffic lights and those who don’t want traffic lights because they don’t believe what TMR are saying. I would like the situation resolved for the sake of the community. Marty Hunt, Member for Nicklin

Children’s safety is my main concern. More people might allow their children to walk or ride to school if traffic lights are installed. This alone will alleviate traffic during the worse times which are school drop off and pick up times. Vicki Vale, 30 year resident of Noosa Shire
Why rush into any decision until TMR release their broader concept plan for the region later this year Paul Kluck, Cooroy resident

Ten years ago, Cooroy Fusion Festival started as a celebration for the opening of the Cooroy Library. It has since morphed into a one day community festival that delights thousands of locals and is testament to what makes Cooroy special - community. “It’s a festival that includes the entire community with groups that have stalls at the festival, local businesses which sponsor the event, great local entertainment, market and food stalls, dozens of volunteers who assist in running the event and of course the thousands of people who come to experience everything the festival has to of-
fer. If you’d like to get involved, we urge you to get in contact, as it is a great way to be connected to your community,” said festival chairperson, Jim Ennis. Run annually by the volunteer, not-for-profit Cooroy Future Group Inc and supported by festival partners, Cooroy Community Bank® Branch of Bendigo Bank and Noosa Council as well as a host of sponsors, this popular event brings Cooroy’s main street alive on Saturday of the Mother’s Day weekend. This year the festival is held on Saturday 11 May and includes Apex Park
activities such as market, community and food stalls, displays by Cooroy Camphor Laurel and Cooroora Woodworkers, and demonstrations at the skate park and BMX track; a pottery throw down at the Butter Factory Arts Centre; kid’s space at Cooroy Library including animal farm and Markerspace activities; the Noosa District Orchid Society Annual Show at the CWA Hall and the Lifeline Denim Sale which will be held in the Cooroy Memorial Hall. The festival organisers have implemented a Zero Waste strategy in 2019 with a focus on recycling, no-single use plastic and an
overall reduced carbon footprint. Confirmed sponsorship activities include the Bendigo Bank Entertainment marquee with an entertainment line-up full of great local musicians and performers; the Cooroy Supa IGA Tastes of the Hinterland marquee where festival goers can sample the produce of the Sunshine Coast; appearances by Noosa Art’s Theatre’s Tweedledum and Tweedledee characters and 500 free tree seedlings to be handed out from Noosa Landcare for Mum’s for Mother’s Day. Other sponsors already confirmed include Wythes
Real Estate, Cooroy Rag, Sutton’s Cleaning, Sunny Coast Accountants, Fiona Winter Realty, Cooroy Service Centre RACQ, Gelignite Jacks, Mower & ATV Solutions, Ben Eggleton of Jim’s Building Inspections Cooroy, Greenwood Grove, McDermott Aviation and Cooroy Chamber of Commerce.

Go Noosa proves a hit Council’s Free Holiday Buses have proven a hit this summer, with more than 200,000 passengers climbing aboard as part of the Go Noosa initiative. Numbers for the 11-day period from December 26 to January 5 reached 64,506 – almost 20,000 more than during the same period last year. Mayor Tony Wellington said the positive response to the service, which this time ran for six weeks instead of 11 days, was encouraging. “We’re tallying the final
numbers, but it’s clear that a great many people enjoyed the free bus service, and by doing so helped to reduce traffic and parking demand,” he said. “Survey results have shown that nine out of 10 people who caught the free buses said they were satisfied or highly satisfied with the service,” Cr Wellington said. The six-week free holiday bus service was a part of the Go Noosa travel and transport trials aimed at reducing holiday parking and traffic congestion
around Noosa Heads. The Hastings Street Association’s Jan Sinclair said the organisation welcomed the Go Noosa trials, including the extended free bus services. “While we’ve yet to seek formal feedback from traders, it’s fair to say the word on the street has generally been positive,” she said. Around 70% of respondents found the car parking and bus signage around Noosa Junction helpful and easy to follow, with the majority naming the Junction as their pre-
ferred Park-and-Ride point. Noosa Junction Traders Association President Michael Tozer said his Association supported parkand-ride and free bus initiatives, as the precinct benefited by way of greater exposure. More than 1000 people logged on to the Go Noosa App website to check realtime parking availability information. Around 69% of survey respondents said they would have made their trip by car if the buses were not free.
Go Noosa is a partnership between Council, Translink, Sunbus and Noosa News. It was supported by Zero Emissions Noosa, the Hastings Street Association, Noosa Junction Traders Association, Tourism Noosa, Noosa Residents and Ratepayers Association and other stakeholders. Council will consider a report on the Christmas transport trials in February. To provide feedback on the Go Noosa trials, visit www.noosa.qld.gov.au/ go-noosa

In my role as a manager of two Community Bank branches in Cooroy and Pomona, I love seeing firsthand how Community Banking gives our hinterland communities a real say in our future. Currently, the most of us are aware the Australian banking sector is dominated by four major banks and the Australian government has a ‘four pillars’ policy that prevents mergers between the four major banks. This is long-standing policy rather than formal regulation, but it reflects the broad political unpopularity of bank mergers. Competitors to the ‘big four’ banks include smaller and often regional banks, as well as building societies and mutual credit unions. I work for one of those, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank (Australia’s fifth largest retail bank), but on the same list are such banks as Suncorp, BOQ and ME Bank. The number of building societies in Australia sits at 10 and the number of credit unions is approximately 100, so the market choice is sizeable. Did you know the financial services sector now represents almost 10 per cent of Australia’s total gross value add of more than $1.5 trillion over the year - the largest industry sector of Australia’s economy? Banking and the various sectors that fall under banking such as building societies, credit unions, money market dealers, life insurance, superannuation funds, health and general insurance, truly is a major part of our Australian economy. At Bendigo Bank, the number of branches across the country continues to increase each year, with more than $68 billion in assets, more than 1.6 million customers and more than 100,000 shareholders More importantly, more than $200 million in Community Bank branch profits has been returned to community projects across Australia and right here, our Cooroy, Tewantin and now, Pomona
branches have returned more than $1.4 million since 2008 to Noosa and hinterland communities. Cooroy branch alone has contributed $700,000 of that return, and (along with our teams) I’m proud of the part this local and national ongoing success story. So, get to know more about your bank and its role in our community. It’s here because our community said it wanted its own bank way back in 2002. Many locals are even shareholders in our branches. You may even be interested in becoming part of the banking industry and exploring possible employment opportunities. If you have any questions about your banking, please contact me on 5447 7131 or on email at simone.flavelle@bendigoadelaide.com.au.

Times are tough
Cooroy residents may be eligible for patient travel subsidy
SPOIL A LOVED ONE WITH A GIFT
COOROY is just far enough away from specialist medical care to qualify eligible patients for the Patient Travel Subsidy Scheme. According to Rod Ritchie of the Cooroy Area Residents Association this State Government scheme provides financial assistance for patients who are referred to specialist medical services not available at their local public hospital or health facility. Mr Ritchie said these patients are able to apply for a subsidy to assist with travel and accommodation costs of accessing specialist medical services. Patients approved for PTSS will receive a subsidy to attend the closest public hospital or health facility where the specialist medical treatment is available which is most likely to be the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. He said Cooroy is just one kilometre more than the 50km minimum distance requirement and other hinterland townships also fit the criteria with Pomona: 61 km, Tinbeerwah: 59 km, Boreen Point: 68 km and Kin Kin: 70 km.

Congratulations to Cathy and Tia Breed on winning the LDAA Open Country Duo Buckle at the 2019 Australian Line Dance Championships held at Tamworth. The pair won medals from every section they entered including 20 gold, 8 silver and 1 bronze. Amazing result ladies! Cathy’s mother introduced her to Line dancing 15 years ago, and she said from the moment she went to her first class she was hooked. I formed Steppin' In Line 11 years ago with the classes going from strength to strength. “I would call Line dancing my lifeline! There is no better feeling than being able to express yourself on the dance floor. It is very healing. I have so many friends that I’ve made through Line dancing and our mutual love for what we do. “My 3 children also share my love for it and I
am proud to have my two daughters Stacey (24) and Tia (16) dancing alongside me. I believe dancing should be fun, with no pressure and this is reflected in my classes. We are one big family and the social aspect of my classes is just as important to my students and myself as the dancing is. “I cant imagine my life without Line dancing and would encourage everyone to give it a go. I can guarantee it will fill your life with fun, friendship and a love like no other.” Cathy holds line dancing classes at the Uniting Church Hall in Cooroy on Fridays at 10am. The Tinbeerwah Hall on Thursdays at 6.30pm and at the Nashville Scout Hall in Gympie on Mondays at 6.30pm. All classes cater from beginners to advanced.

Eumundi Markets commemorates Doug Andreassen On Australia Day 2019, 12 months after Doug Andreassen’s passing, his wife Joyce and family and friends gathered at the Eumundi Markets to lay a plaque acknowledging his long association with the Markets and the 36 years he spent busking/entertaining there. A simple ceremony was held with some heartfelt words and a musical tribute of didgeridoos by market regulars. Doug began busking at the Eumundi Markets in early 1982. He was a regular every Saturday morning, then it became Wednesdays as well. In 2014 when the RV Stopover was established, Doug began singing and entertaining the visitors every Tuesday night at the Bush Ballads and BBQ. Doug was not only a Busker, he also volunteered his time entertaining the residents at Kabara Hostel in Cooroy, Carramar nursing Home in Tewantin, Noosa Residential Care in Tewantin, Eumundi Share and Care, at local preschools and kindergartens and at the Australia Day celebrations held in Eumundi and Pomona. “We are thankful to the Eumundi Markets for providing the plaque and Ellis Minter, Doug’s busking mate, who helped organise it,” said Joyce. After the celebration the family went to the Andreassen Homestead and fishing site where they put into practice the skills Doug taught them as children. Thank you Doug, you had a laugh for everyone and could change our day with your jokes.

One of the most common questions from patients on low carb or ketogenic diets is about fruit, and also which sweeteners to use when the taste buds are calling for something sweet. Nutritionist and Naturopath, Jodie Persovic, explains more. Let’s start with sugar. Sugar comes in a number of forms. Most people are familiar with cane sugar - the white crystalline substance added to sweeten food. But sugar is also the basis of all carbohydrate foods, including starchy vegetables, grains, cereals, breads, pasta and also fruit. The sugar molecule, more specifically called glucose, is the building block of these foods, and during digestion the sugar is released and raises our blood sugar levels. Most people know that consuming high-carbohydrate foods every day, increases your risk of type 2 diabetes, which is a condition of chronically high blood sugar levels. Those struggling to maintain a healthy weight are also showing signs that sugar is not being metabolised well in their body, even if they don’t have diabetes. Other ‘natural’ sugars include maple syrup, coconut nectar sugar, agave syrup and rapdura, just to name a few. These also contribute to our blood sugar levels in the same way that cane sugar does - i.e. they increase it. Honey is also pure fructose, a type of sugar that is easily converted to fat in the body. Fructose in excess can result in fatty liver and insulin resistance, which increases the longterm negative effects of carbohydrates you eat later. For those on a ketogenic or a low carbohydrate diet, keeping sugars and carbs down is important. Sugar cravings often subside as carbs are reduced, and this is especially so on a ketogenic diet, when the natural increase in ketones help to reduce appetite. Yet, our taste buds are often used to something sweet. For long term dietary change to become a lifestyle rather than another failed diet, it is essential that you enjoy what you eat and find it satisfying.
Following are some suggestions on how to sweeten your day, week or month (depends on how often you look for a sweet treat). But keep in mind - all sweeteners maintain cravings for sweet foods. Also, when added to high calorie foods, like a cake or muffin, they increase the feeling of reward when eating it - i.e. you want more. So by adding sweeteners to your foods you significantly increase the risk that you’ll end up eating more than you need. That being said, three sweet options are stevia, erythritol and xylitol: 1) Stevia is a herb and doesn’t contain carbs or calories and does not raise blood sugar. It does have an aftertaste that some people don’t like though, 2) Erythritol resembles sugar but is only partially digested and absorbed by the body. It occurs naturally in plants and is usually made from fermented corn. It provides almost zero calories and is basically carb free. Some do get loose stools after consuming erythritol, especially with large amounts, 3) Xylitol is produced from birch trees. It is not considered ‘carb free’ though, as just over half is absorbed and so contributes to your carbohydrate intake. It can also cause digestive upsets, depending on how much is used and the sensitivity of the individual. If you enjoy real foods in their unsweetened state, there is no need to use any of the above. But for those with a ‘sweet tooth’ consider that, although it might take a while for your tastebuds to adapt, over time you may discover a whole new appreciation for the subtle sweetness of natural, unprocessed foods. The most important thing though, is to enjoy the journey along the way, and who knows what kind of foods will satisfy you into the future - be open to being surprised!

Let’s learn something about head lice Head lice can be extremely frustrating for parents/carers so here are some fast facts for you … Head Lice are small wingless insects that are found on the human head, living on the hair and feeding by sucking blood from the scalp. They cannot fly or jump but have strong claws and will swing from head to head through close contact such as cuddling, playing or working closely together. They can only sur-

vive up to 48 hours away from a human host; this is because they need to regularly feed on human blood or they will die from dehydration. They cannot live or breed on animals, clothes, toys, furniture, carpet, or bedding; they can only survive on the human head. Infestation is not related to poor hygiene and there is no preference for clean or dirty hair. They do not carry or transmit disease and have been around for thousands of years. At LiveLife, we recommend the ‘conditioner & comb method’ to detect headlice. Apply enough conditioner to dry hair to cover the scalp & hair from roots to tips. Using the normal comb, detangle hair to distribute the conditioner evenly & divide into four sections. Using the fine tooth comb, comb hair from roots to tips and wipe the comb on the tissue after each stroke to check for lice & eggs. Continue process until the whole head had been checked and the majority of the conditioner is off the hair. Ensure that all the tissues are placed in a plastic bag, tied up and put in the rubbish
bin. This process should be repeated weekly on all members of the family/household if infestation remains. Regardless of the treatment used, the only way to eradicate head lice is by removing the lice and eggs (dead or alive). There are two methods of treatment that can be used, and it is important to note that there is no need to treat if lice or eggs are not present. Conditioner & Comb Technique: • As explained, this is the best way of detecting head lice but can also be used as a treatment. This is the safest option as it contains no chemicals and should be used especially if the person has sensitive skin, is under 2 years of age, pregnant, breastfeeding, or has sores on the scalp. Note this method will not kill/remove eggs. This method is a cheaper alternative but should be repeated daily for 10 consecutive days until no live lice are found. • Medicated products: Should not be used in children under 2 years of age or in pregnancy or breastfeeding. Speak to your LiveLife Pharmacist about the best treatment of head lice.
The Pharmacy in Your Pantry Heidi DeWald Beraa from Your Life in Balance will be holding an Ayurvedic cooking class on Saturday February 16. “In my consultations, I always try to lead people to their pantries for healing advice. There are hundreds of herbal medicines, but ultimately, we can turn to simple herbs and spices in our kitchen to begin the healing process. “We will venture into the pantry for digestive aids, cough and headache relief, muscle pain, blood cleansers, detoxing herbs and others for common symptoms we have all experienced. “I remember my grandmother using Castor Oil to give the liver a little clean out when she was feeling a little sluggish. As a small child I remember thinking there was NO way I would be taking that! As an adult, and after studying Ayurveda for many years, I now know how important it is to use simple herbs and cleanses to keep the body and mind functioning well. “Join us and you will have a better understanding of the uses of simple and well-known herbs and spices in your cupboard. It is said in Ayurveda that it is easier to prevent illness then cure disease. “We will also cook and couple of things together, a cold and cough remedy, as well as preparing a famous Ayurvedic dish used for detoxing, illness and general well-being – Kitchari will become a favourite dish for the whole family. Join us for this popular workshop.” When: Saturday 16th February, 10:30am -1:30pm Where: Life in Balance Ayurveda & Yoga, 50 Kauri Street, Cooroy (next door to the Copperhead Brewery). Cost: $49, including lunch, recipes and herbal information. Book in: 5455 5050 or through www.yourlifeinbalance.com.au

Two garden sheds are available for the gardening enthusiast. The property is located in the picturesque Cudgerie Estate, which has its own piece of the Noosa Trail network weaving through it. The thriving township of Cooroy and Pomona are approximately 6 minutes down the road and you can be in Noosa Heads in approximately 30 minutes.

Renovated character home on peaceful, park-like acreage
Bed 3; Bath 1; Car 3; Pool Offers Over $699,000 Situated just six minutes from Noosaville, this property is perfectly suited for anyone looking for a small acreage with a home where everything has been done. Set on 2.5 usable acres, the 3 bed, 1 bath character home has had a contemporary renovation. The first thing you’ll notice is the elevated and shaded front verandah, which offers plenty of space for relaxing with friends and family while looking over the beautifully landscaped gardens. Stepping inside, the inviting open plan living area is light and spacious, thanks to doors opening onto the verandah and large windows. If breezes through the windows aren’t enough, this space is also air-conditioned. The centrally-located modern kitchen features stone benchtops, gas cooking, stainless steel dishwasher and breakfast bar. The dining area sits at one end of the kitchen, and the lounge on the other. The space flows seamlessly across the front of
the house, with its easy-care timber-look flooring and fresh, neutral colours. The three bedrooms have built-in robes and ceiling fans, with air-con in the master suite. The modern bathroom features a double vanity, shower and separate bath. Outside, the level, park-like grounds are ideal for kids to run around on. Dog-fencing means they’re also pet-friendly. The whole family will love the private inground swimming pool. With a 2car shed plus a machinery bay, there’s nothing left to do except move in. All this is located on a leafy no-through road that is less than 15 minutes to the beaches of Noosa. The location and features make it ideal for a young family, retirees seeking tranquillity and space, or an investor. If you’re after a private acreage property with a contemporary, character home, contact our agent to arrange your inspection.

Mark Evans named ‘Coach of the Year’ Congratulations to Boxing Coach Mark Evans on being named 2018 Sunshine Coast Sports Federation Coach of the year! Mark, who owns and runs Impact Boxing Academy in Cooroy, received the accolade at the Sunshine Coast Sports Federation’s annual Sunshine Coast Sports Awards function at Twin Waters last week. Mark said he is feeling very humbled and grateful to have won the award especially considering the quality of coaches that were nominated and their own amazing achievements in their chosen sports. “As a Coach I feel very privileged and blessed to have had the opportunity to share in these kids’ dreams and help them reach their goals. We have had the privilege of travelling the world together and ride the highs and lows of this sport. “Thank you for being part of my coaching journey and walking into my life in the first place. I’ve been blessed with such a brilliant bunch of kids to coach and for that I am eternally grateful. “As a Coach it’s not about me, it’s about you the athlete. You guys are the ones that keep on turning up and putting in the hard yards. It’s you guys that inspire me to be a better Coach every day! Thank you for choosing me to be your Coach. “A massive thank you to my wonderful family for your continued support and the sacrifices that you all make for me.”
