Busting to get the toilets open COUNCIL’S decision to leave the management of the Cooroy RV Park as is has Doug Claydon tearing his hair out in frustration about what he says is pure incompetence by those who are “there to look after Ratepayers’ best interests”. Doug, along with ex Councillor Ray Kelly, have been lobbying Council to save our RV Park from becoming a red herring that could end up being shut down. Both Doug and Ray are seasoned caravanners who have collated information from hundreds of similar operations around Australia that are operating successfully but say they have all but been ignored by Council. “We have thousands of caravanners visit the hinterland every year,” says Doug. “There’s absolutely no reason that the Cooroy RV Park can’t be successful. The tremendous opportunity, not only for the Cooroy business community, but in fact for the whole hinterland, is being lost. It could be a real asset for our community and could be run on a neutral cost to council basis.” To date the RV Park is in the red by approximately $40,000 and growing. “The fact is that it was Council’s decision to pay third party management at a cost of $18,500 per annum plus 50 per cent of the takings – an obviously inefficient management plan, if there ever was one, and also their decision to leave it that way, that is running at a loss costing ratepayers money even more,” said Doug. At the end of last year Council called for Expressions of Interest for the management of the Park. All submissions were rejected and at this stage they have decided to leave the running of it as is. Doug and Ray have also been lobbying Council to have the ablution block at the car club unlocked for visitors to have access to toilets and showers. They believe this is vital to the success of the Stop Over. “The lack of amenities is something that is lamented on travellers’ websites such as greynomad.com and wikicamps.com Caretaker Dave, who has been collecting shopping dockets from visitors, says the monthly spend by visitors at businesses in the area has dropped by more than 30 per cent and attributes this to the declining number of visitors because of the Stopover’s lack of amenities. “If the amenities block is not up to standard, as Council is saying, then why is it standard enough for the car club, the pony club, and the general public at large who attend events for these clubs? Why is it good enough for locals but not for visitors? It doesn’t make any sense. The park will never be cost neutral unless the ablution block is unlocked. “And why is Council paying $18,500 a year plus 50% of the take to a third party manager when we have a very capable, respected and effective caretaker on site who collects the fees already (at no charge). What does the $18,500 cover? Council does all the mowing, and the little bit of maintenance that’s needed, and Dave collects the money from visitors? All the manager is being paid for is to take the bookings (unless they come directly to the park) and collect the money from Dave to bank. “If Council is concerned about the RV Park costing ratepayers money, then they have no-one to blame but themselves. To my mind they are definitely not doing their job – which is to look after the best interests of the ratepayers. “Unlock the toilet block, have a user pays system or increase the nightly stopover fee slightly to pay for any upgrade if needed, and stop paying ridiculous management fees for nothing. “We ask for a meeting with Council to sort out the issues and get this amenity up and running as it should be and take advantage of the abundant opportunities that so many other towns enjoy.

news Cooroy joins Queensland’s electric super highway

COOROY RAG COOROY has become part of Queensland’s Electric Super Highway with our electric vehicle charging station now up an running. Located at the strain station it is the only public charging point on the Sunshine Coast. The Electric Super Highway is a series of fast-charging electric vehicle stations at locations right up the Queensland coast. It is now possible to drive an electric car all the way from Cairns to Coolangatta, snubbing $1.50 a litre petrol with other fast-charging stations now installed in Cairns, Tully, Townsville, Miriam Vale, Bowen, Carmila, Mackay, Marlborough, Rockhampton, Maryborough, Childers, Cooroy, Hamilton, Brisbane CBD, Gatton, Coolangatta, Springfield and Toowoomba. The early idea is for the

Tom and Connie Laux from Kureelpa stop into Cooroy to charge ‘Sparky’ their electric car charging stations to be powered by electricity generated by renewable energy sources. Electric charging at the stations will be free for

the first 12 months before fees are introduced. In 2016, Queensland had fewer than 300 fully electric cars registered. With hybrids included,

that figure rose to about 700. As of early 2018, the number had swollen to 1300, including hybrid cars. A fast-charging battery

recharge station takes approximately 20-30 minutes to restore a fully depleted Nissan Leaf battery to about 80 per cent.

The strength behind a town FEBRUARY 3 was a day which will stand as a testimony to how a community can band together for its future. In a short afternoon of events held at Cooran School of Arts Hall the Cooran Earth Rights group (CER) revealed their intention to launch a survey of the community in the coming weeks. This will establish the sentiment of the town in regards to coal permits, exploration, and mining. Right now there is a permit to explore for coal in the Noosa shire, although many people may not be aware of this. (See map -http:// data.erinsights.com/ maps/fossilfuelsau.html).

Ready to lead by example For our future leaders, it’s good to remember that good leadership is earned every day. That catch cry isn’t lost on Cooroy State School’s selected few in 2018. The school unveiled its leadership group last week, and they’re a fine array of Year 6 students who are already putting their best efforts forward. The group was celebrated at a full school assembly and Cooroy Community Bank branch manager, Geoff Edwards was onhand as a valued sponsor of the school to celebrate the news and wish the new leaders well. Deputy Principal of Cooroy State School, Karina Ramsay shared the school was impressed by number of quality applicants for leadership positions. “The selection panel had a difficult task with such a talented pool to select from. Our leaders will work throughout the year on various projects revolving around school improvement and making our school a great place for

Cooran’s Pioneer Park set for a $200,000 upgrade NOOSA Council is seeking community feedback on a proposed $200,000 upgrade of a central social meeting place for the local Cooran community, Pioneer Park. Council’s Project Officer for Infrastructure Services, Dallas Bickley, said: “Pioneer Park will be a much more usable park as a result of this upgrade. The Cooran community will have more green space and significantly improved facilities. “The proposed new layout includes elements the local community has asked for: a new, wide concrete pathway network that links the park with new car parking bays off Prince Street; a new park shelter and BBQ facilities; a power supply; improved drainage; new park seating; more usable green space and new turf. “We are looking forward to receiving feedback from the community on the proposed new park layout. Community feedback will inform the final design. “Work is scheduled to commence in the 2017/2018 financial year with completion in the 2018/2019 financial year.” To have your say please visit https:// yoursay.noosa.qld.gov.au; or email mail@noosa.qld.gov.au; or send a letter to Noosa Council, PO Box 141, Tewantin Qld 4565.

IN the second year it is being held in Cooroy, the Australian Body Art Festival is already a huge success attracting approximately 7000 people last year. It has great benefits for the community too and is calling on support to help grow the festival. “It’s a great family friendly event that showcases several types of body painting from artists around Australia as well as wearable art, art installations, photography and entertainment. It gains international attention and provides a lot of benefit back to the community which is amazing for a free community run festival. But the event is only in its second year in Cooroy so it does need support especially from sponsors to help grow and sustain it,” said event manager, Danielle Taylor. The 2017 event was attended by 7000 spectators, 55 artists and 42 models with over 80 volunteers making the event a success. Attendees came from far and wide with 58% coming from outside Noosa and 30% of visitors staying for at least one night. This equited to close to 17,000 days of accommodation and attendees primarily stayed throughout Noosa. Attendees were surveyed on how much the spent while here and it was indicated that over one million dollars was spent here in our region as a result of the festival. “The festival cost approximately $40,000 to run so it provided an ecomomic return to the region of 25 times its cost. The economic benefits alone are a fantastic result for the region but there are also social, community and cultural benefits,” explained Danielle. “We had over 80 volunteers that put in hundreds of hours of work to make the festival a success. The volunteers all felt a real sense of pride at their achievement as it was such a great

weekend and was a very social occasion. Most of the volunteers have signed up again to come back this year because they enjoyed it so much. We also have a lot of community organisations that are involved such as Butter Factory Arts Centre, Cooroora Woodworkers and the I Give A Buck Foundation.” “The support and exposure for the arts community is fantastic. Many of the artists also often comment that it is like a reunion and they love coming back year after year. Similarly we get that feedback from spectators also, so the event has a real following.” “We couldn’t run this event without the donations we receive and the support of our sponsors. As the event grows so do costs and we still have about $5000 to raise for the event this year. We have sponsorship opportunities still available from as low as $250 and are also doing a crowdfunding campaign and looking for some raffle prizes to raise more funds. Details of how you can contribute are on the website. It’s a great opportunity to support a fantastic local event that gives so much back to our region,” said Danielle Taylor. Sponsors and funding partners already on board include Tourism & Events Queensland, Sunshine Coast Daily, Wythes Real Estate, Tourism Noosa, Firefly Solutions, Cooroy Community Bank Branch of Bendigo Bank, SPV Accounting, The Shed @ Cooroy, Matt Blak, Noosa Trail Estate, Wattle Media, Butter Factory Arts Centre, Gelignite Jacks, Bold as Love Jewellery, Studio Republic, Michelle Maclennan Art, Always Wicked Art, Jandamarra Cadd, Hinternoosa Real Estate and Quality Coloured Powder.

news Communities worth banking on

COOROY RAG

Geoff Edwards, Cooroy & Pomona Community Bank Branches of Bendigo Bank IT’S not known as the most exciting of topics, but I want to share how the banking industry contributes to our communities and our economy. In my role as a manager of two Community Bank branches in Cooroy and Pomona, I’m seeing banking change and giving regional communities such as ours a real say in its own 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, superan-

nuation 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, nearly $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. 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 geoff.edwards@bendigoadelaide.com.au.

news Estate planning: what’s involved?

COOROY RAG

Chad Monroe Certified Financial Planner® of Provision Wealth Management* Make sure you and your money are well looked after. Estate planning is not just about making a will. It’s about deciding how you want to be looked after (both medically and financially), if you can’t make your own decisions later in life. It’s also about documenting how you want your assets to be distributed after you die. Planning your estate will help you have peace of mind and avoid family tensions when you can no longer make your own decisions. Here are some key things to think about: 1. Making a will: A solicitor or estate lawyer can help you draw up a legally binding document that advises who should receive your estate assets when you die1. If you don’t have a valid will your estate will be distributed according to the law in your relevant state. Find out more about making a will in our online learning module. 2. Appointing an executor: The executor is the person who is responsible for making sure your assets are distributed according to your wishes, as well as paying bills, closing banks accounts and so on. Find out more about the duties of an executor - http://planningaheadtools.com.au/ prepare-a-will/what-is-an-executor-andtrustee-and-what-do-they-do/ 3. Setting up an enduring power of attorney: An enduring power of attorney allows someone to make financial decisions on your behalf, even if you lose legal capacity. In some states, a power of attorney holder can also make lifestyle decisions. In others, you need a separate document (e.g. enduring guardianship). Ask your solicitor about the relevant powers of attorney documents in your state. 4. Guardianship: If you haven’t legally appointed a person to manage your affairs through a power of attorney and it becomes necessary to do so, then a family member or

friend can be given guardianship to make decisions on your behalf about your lifestyle (health, where you live etc.). An administrator can also be appointed by a guardianship board to manage your financial affairs. 5. Nominating beneficiaries for your super: Think about how you want your super to be distributed after you’re gone. Make sure you keep your nomination up to date. If you don’t, the super money may end up in the wrong hands. 6. Insuring yourself to protect your loved ones Insurance helps you and your family in the event of unforeseen events, such as serious illness or injury. Find out more about the different types of insurance, some of which are available through your super. Do you need help? Estate planning can be a complex area and there could be legal and tax implications if you don’t set things up correctly. But while it can seem a bit daunting, it also gives you peace of mind. So, if you want to start talking through your estate planning options, please contact us on 07 5447 7740 to discuss further. *Chad Monroe of Provision Wealth Management 1 Pty Ltd | ABN 44 164 359 568 and Provision Wealth Management Pty Ltd | ABN: 52 149 014 004, trading as Provision Wealth Management, are Authorised Representatives and Credit Representatives of AMP Financial Planning Pty Limited AFS Licence No. 232706 What you need to know: Any advice in this editorial is of a general nature only and does not take into account the objectives, financial situation or needs of any particular person.

THE extent of loss following the death of a baby during pregnancy or shortly after birth is often misunderstood and treated as an unfortunate incident, best not spoken about. In Australia, 1 in 120 births will be a stillbirth or a newborn death and up to 1 in 4 confirmed pregnancies will end in miscarriage before twenty weeks. Local Cooroy author, Michelle Marks explores the emotional and physical journey of such loss in her new book – all my children: a poetic memoir of pregnancy, loss and love. Michelle’s collection of poetry and prose validates the feelings of guilt, loss and grief experienced after the death of a child. “The neonatal death of our son and daughter was devastating. When your baby dies, you lose not only your child but your dreams, expectations and plans – it is a loss of your future in the way you envisaged it. “In writing All My Children, I hope to encourage communities to talk more about child loss – to start a conversation and to stand together. If someone else can hold this book in their hands and find the strength to tell their own story, then it has achieved its purpose.” Order at: www.bottletreepress.com Meet the author and book signing will be at Berkelouw Books, Wednesday, 14 Feb, 9-12 noon and A Little Shop of Soul in Cooroy, Wed Feb 21, 9.30 - 11.30am.

Twilight sedation – get your dentistry done while you sleep. Call for more information

THE Probus Club of Cooroy has begun their 2018 activities with an Australia Day celebration that both tested their memories and pleased their palates. To entertain us, member Trevor Blake, organised a musical quiz based on Australian music, classical masterpieces and modern Pop songs- modern in the 1960s and 70s that is. A very special thank you to both Trevor and Carol Blake for the time and effort they put into organising such a interesting and challenging Australia Day quiz. Anyone wanting to learn more about the Probus Club of Cooroy should contact John on 5485 0415 or come along to a meeting held on the first Monday of each month in the Anglican Church Hall, Miva Street, Cooroy at 10 am.

Majestic Nights • Jewellery • Manufacturing • Repairs • Restorations & Remodels

Cnr Maple & Emerald Street - 5472 0933 OPEN: Monday-Friday - 9am-5pm I Saturday - 9am-1pm

Cheap Fakes THE people of Pomona were asked to tell the new committee at the Majestic Theatre, what events they would like to see at the Majestic. The unanimous request was for live music so we are delivering. Majestic Nights is the inaugural music event to shake the dust off the iconic old theatre. This is being organised by Malcolm Prendeville who has organised the Verrierdale Full Moon Dance for many years. He has a program of top preformers including Cheap Fakes, Bearfoot, Dub Zoo and Boom Boom Sound System. This is for those aged 18 to 80 who like to get up and boogie. Saturday, March 3, 7pm – 12. Pre-sale $25, $30 at the door (cash only). Fully licensed event 18+ Cheap Fakes: The free-wheeling, six-headed hydra of Cheap Fakes is a ready-made party absolutely primed to provide the best of times! Born in 2009, Cheap Fakes are a massive soulsoaked, brass-fuelled pop, funk and ska super cell! Whether supporting such titans as Cody Chesnutt, Melbourne Ska Orchestra, or The Black Seeds, establishing themselves as a festival favourite from sweltering sets at Woodford Folk Festival, Big Pineapple Festival, Valley Fiesta, or Caloundra Music Festival, Cheap Fakes have confidently entrenched themselves as a welcome fixture of Australia’s live music landscape. We can’t wait to have them rock the stage at Majestic Nights!

Bearfoot: Blending So-Cal, Hip Hop and dub reggae with a dash of the Endless Summer soundtrack thrown in, Bearfoot’s sun-soaked-yet-dark take on roots, reggae & dub has sent ripples through the country, and even over the ditch. You could blame their highly energetic, sweatdrenched live performances, or their ability to create catchy melodies, but whatever the case, Bearfoot have been turning heads wherever they go. Mixing a solid rhythm section made up of fat bass and steadfast drums with percussive flare, bubbling keys, dubby guitars, horn lines that won’t quit, and vocal harmonies to support vocalist Asher Chapman’s passionate rapid-fire vocals, Bearfoot unashamedly bring their own take on Australian Roots/Reggae music. Dub Zoo: Prepare to be taken on a sonic journey with live dub, psychedelic soundscapes, heavy rhythms and ambient melodies. DUB ZOO are testing the boundaries of musicality with a live improvisational reggae experiment, created in the moment, inspired by the audience. Featuring multiinstrumentalist Lee Hardisty on keys, sax, flute & kalimba and vocal extraordinaire Lizzie O’Keefe along with the monster rhythm section of Leon Tussie on drums, Brad Wenham on bass and Paddy Kiernan on guitar. Welcome to the zoo, please do feed the animals. BOOM BOOM Sound System will be bringing a super groovy reggae sesh to the majestic garden with sounds that span the generations!

What are Spondylolysis and Spondylolisthesis? ONE of the primary roles of the spine is to protect the spinal cord. This means that the spine needs to be strong while maintaining the flexibility required for a movable trunk. While the spine is very sturdy, spinal injuries do occur. Health professionals often use terms to describe and classify injuries of the body, two of these terms that you may have heard are Spondylolysis and Spondylolisthesis. What are they? Spondylolysis refers to a stress fracture of the pars interarticularis of the vertebra. This is the part of the vertebra that connects the body of the vertebra with the rest of the vertebra that surrounds the spinal cord. A separation of this fracture where the body of the vertebra is displaced forwards or backwards is called a spondylolisthesis. Spondylolisthesis is a progression of spondylolysis and is given grades to classify its severity. Both spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis commonly affect the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae, found at the base of the lower back. What are the causes? Spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis can be a result of trauma with the spine being moved forcefully into extension, particularly in younger people. Certain sports such as gymnastics, football and weightlifting require repetitive backward movements of the spine and this can eventually lead to a stress fracture of the pars interarticularis. Growth spurts in teens have also been known to be responsible for the development of these conditions. In older adults, common causes of spondylolysis or spondylolisthesis are degenerative changes in the spine due to aging, osteoporosis, infection or even a tumour. Some people have a

genetic vulnerability in this area of their spine making them more susceptible to developing spondylolysis and then spondylolisthesis. What are the symptoms? Many people with spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis may be asymptomatic, which means they perform their normal activities without experiencing any symptoms. However, when symptoms do occur, common complaints are pain and tightness, much like a muscle strain, spreading across the lower back. This pain may be eased by bending forwards and aggravated by walking, running or leaning backwards. In more progressive cases of spondylolisthesis, the shift of the vertebral body can cause narrowing of the spinal canal that can lead to nerve compression. This may cause hamstring tightness and even numbness and weakness of the lower limbs, affecting gait and daily activities. How can physiotherapy help? Your physiotherapist will work closely with you and any relevant medical professionals to determine exactly what is needed for your particular condition. Severe instability in the spine may require stabilization surgery, however this is rare and in most cases symptoms of spondylolisthesis can be improved with regular physiotherapy management. Pysiotherapy that focuses on strengthening and improving the flexibility of both the lower back and the abdominal muscles has been shown to have positive effects on both pain and function for those with symptomatic spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis. Speak to a physiotherapist or your GP for more information regarding your individual condition. Hinteractive Physio is conveniently located in Garnet Street, Cooroy, and can be contacted on 5442 5556.

INTERNATIONAL Women’s Day will have renewed significance for many women following the events around the world over the last 12 months. This year’s theme is #PressforProgress and reflects the need for balance, respect for women and healing in our society. The #MeToo movement is an example of that. Locally a group of women have responded to this need in our community. They are forming the Women’s Circle Network of Australia Association, which is a new body that has been created to support and empower disadvantaged women in the local area. Whilst this association is not yet fully established, they have decided not to miss the opportunity that International Women’s Day brings and have created a program for Queensland Women’s Week, ending on International Women’s Day. It is called Women’s Wellbeing Week in recognition of the Queensland Women’s Week theme of “Celebrate Wellbeing. Everyone wins”, and runs from the 5th - 8th March. It offers a range of workshops, restorative activities and that most precious commodity, time to ourselves. Sandy Bolton, MP, has generously sent a message to be shared with participants on International Women’s Day as

she will be unable to attend in person. The whole week is being held at Welcome to the Big House, Pinbarren, which is a beautiful place situated in the local hinterland and perfect for this purpose. The program includes: • Women’s Health and Wellbeing with Georgia • Meditation and Women’s Wellbeing with Rowena • Nourish the earth, Nourish your body with Dan and Vanessa • An evening of Heart Collage with Helen • Women’s Restorative Yoga with Alison • Loving Yourself, Loving your Life with Kerri Anne & Rowena • Sound Immersion with Adam • International Women’s Day with a Panel of women (TBA) • Queen of your own Life with Debbi and there will be an Auction & Garage Sale for Women’s Wellbeing which will run over the 4 days. If you are interested and want to know more, or if you would like to join us, please contact Kerri Anne on 0419864738 or local meditation teacher Rowena on 0422465207 (Meditate for Health & Wellbeing), or find all the details on www.welcometothebighouse.com

Kin Kin kids go to Canberra

THE Kin Kin State School year 6’s are finally getting their chance to go to Canberra for their school camp. They have always gone camping at various Sunshine Coast places but this year they have decided to do a yearly trip to Canberra. Some kids have never seen snow! Lots of excitement and fundraising ideas amongst the 13 Kin Kin kids. They are fundraising by washing cars, raffles and asking businesses to help.

They will be going the end of July and need to raise as much as possible. The kids, parents and P & C are helping them get there and have raised over $3000. Donations have come from High Spirits, Kin Kin community group, Vizion Group, Country Life Hotel and Kin Kin Drama Group so far. Keep up the good work! To help please contact the school on 5485 4168 or see facebook for events on https:// www.facebook.com/KinKinStateSchool/

Dementia proof me night

World Day of Prayer THIS year is the ninetieth year of World Day of Prayer celebrated in Queensland., but it was first started in 1887, when on or near the first Friday in March every year millions of Christians have gathered worldwide to pray for the issues of family violence, child abuse, human trafficking, and other forms of injustice. This year that prayerful support will be directed at the 540,000 inhabitants of the Republic of Suriname, on the north-eastern coast of South America. Despite a history steeped in slavery and political coups, this tiny nation has achieved remarkable progress since its independence in 1975. Suriname enjoys multi-ethnicity and biodiversity, freedom of religion, free primary and secondary education, and free medical care for children and seniors, but behind closed doors, family violence, abuse and neglect are ongoing issues. Children are particularly vulnerable, many growing up in orphanages or one-parent families. While education is free, there is no compulsory school attendance. Child labour in the form of street selling is common, but of far more serious concern is the fact that many children are labouring in the gold mines of Suriname. You are invited to join us in prayer for the needs of Suriname and its people at a World Day of Prayer service at the Cooroy Anglican Church,Corner of Tewantin Road and Miva Street, Cooroy at 10 a.m. Friday 2nd March.

Snoring......so many of us do it.....whether we like to admit it or not. But why does it happen? And is there anything you can do about it? Snoring happens when the muscles of your airway relax too much during sleep and vibrate (creating noise) when air you breathe passes in and out. Occasional snoring is experienced by most people at some point in their life, but loud or chronic snoring can disrupt sleep quality, disturb others and may be the tell-tale sign of something more serious requiring treatment. So who is your “typical snorer?” • Male • Aged between 30-65 years • Overweight • May have high blood pressure • May be worse with alcohol consumption and with a cold Some other common causes may be: • Allergies • Eating too much before bed • Nasal congestion • Consumption of alcohol and/or sleeping pills • Pregnancy • Sleep position (more likely on your back) • Swollen adenoids/tonsils, especially in kids • Deformity within the nose Are there any simple remedies to try and avoid snoring? • Avoid sleeping tablets and alcohol • Sleep on your side rather than your back • Treat nasal congestion (see your pharmacist for advice on nasal sprays and other anti-allergy treatments) • Make sure the air in your bedroom in neither too dry nor too humid • External nasal strips (useful in the 5-10% of individuals whose nostrils collapse during inspira-

tion) • Weight loss • Quit smoking • A properly fitted mouthguard • Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) – available in many of our LiveLife pharmacies – this involves treatment of “sleep apnoea” with the use of a compact air pump to deliver a continuous flow of pressurised air via a mask to the patient’s airway. • Specialist intervention and surgery (in severe cases) But regardless of what you think may be causing your snoring, if you snore – or if you suspect you snore – consider it a sign that something may not be right. Talk to you LiveLife pharmacist or your doctor, and get some advice on how to keep you sleeping well, and leading a refreshed, energetic life!
