A musical gift to Cooroy
Violinist Shenton Gregory
Michael Dransfield with the Grand Piano that his partner David Ballinger (pictured inset) donated to the Cooroy Community
Cooroy will celebrate the generosity of one of its most talented musicians with a free community concert. The concert, which will be held in the Cooroy Memorial Hall, is to honour the late David Ballinger, who donated his beloved grand piano to the Cooroy community after his death in November last year. Noted musicians, including acclaimed violinist Shenton Gregory, Janet Brewer of the Pacific Chamber Players, singer Emma Tomlinson, pianist Isobel Cumpston and the Three Clefs will perform in honour of the man whose legacy of music will live on in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. David’s piano, which will feature in the concert, will be housed in the Cooroy Hall for the area’s musicians to use in future. David’s partner, Michael Dransfield, said David had
always been a generous man. “He gave freely of his creative talents throughout his life, sharing his musical gifts and his love of art and beauty in its many forms with his family and his friends,” Mr Dransfield said He said that David, an accomplished pianist, had wished to pass on his love of music and to give something beautiful back to his local community. David, who was born in Birmingham to Thomas and his wife Margaret in 1932, quickly showed his aptitude for music when he began to pick out tunes on the family piano as a very young child. When he was six, he won a radio talent quest and, after lessons from the local church organist, was able to play so well by the time he was 10 years old that he won a scholarship to Birmingham’s renowned Aston Grammar School for Boys. There he
played the piano for many ceremonies, concerts and plays. In his late teens, David developed an interest in theatre and costume design. He studied at the Birmingham Art and Design College emigrating to Australia in 1953. On arrival, David settled initially in Sydney, where he worked in successful design and fashion businesses for many years. He continued to work as a musician too, playing as an accompanist to many wellknown musicians and singers, including June Bronhill and Ray Jones. The Petrof piano David has gifted to the Cooroy Memorial Hall originally belonged to the Dunbar family from Camden in New South Wales and was shipped to Australia from England in 1914. It was the centrepiece of David’s home in Cooroy and David, a gifted autodidact, often learned and performed favourite piano pieces especially as gifts for his family and friends. Two of David’s nieces, Yvonne and Charmaine, will be travelling over from Birmingham to attend the concert. Tickets to the free concert, which will be held at 3pm on 10 March, are available from Eventbrite.

COOROY RAG Letters to the editor Cooroy has spoken on two surveys, one of mine where 80 per cent of the CBD wanted roundabouts and 15% wanted lights (for safety reasons). The survey was taken over the period from December 17 to January 12. Streets surveyed included Diamond, Elm, Maple, Emerald, Garnet and Wattle. The common reason for lights was safety. For roundabouts it was to keep Cooroy visitor friendly. Roundabouts will free up traffic easier, business relies on a smoother access. At the town meeting held on February 5, the vote was largely in favour of roundabouts. This is a broad concept of what Cooroy wants and deserves: Cooroy want both intersections properly constructed, not with a quick cheap fix. This is mainly because if we get a cheap fix we will be stuck with it – Main Roads is not coming back again, ever. • Arguments against roundabouts are not founded. • An over/underpass should be constructed on Elm Street. • Cost is not relevant when in 2022 Maroochy, Caloundra and the Bruce Highway should have been finalised. Admittedly much depends on whether we have a viable government. • That in 2022 Cooroy’s works are placed (with justification) number one on the jobs list. • Property impacts are minimal and not a huge financial cost. • Yes, disruption to traffic is greater than lights, but most of the works do not impact. • There can be no guarantee of traffic flow without the rail overpass being doubled in width. Ask any emergency vehicle driver. • The present Urban fire shed to be relocated should be a Qld emergency service cost. • The Myall and Elm roundabout can only be constructed by the wideneing of the road overpass and filling in the fire shed area – thus giving space or three lanes for those west occupied houses. Please write/email our sitting Member Marty Hunt or TMR to reject Main Roads plans. As is, Diamond Street businesses will be lost. Stand as one, not divided, for Cooroy’s future. Cooroy if you doggedly stay divided then that is Main Roads signal to proceed their way. Mike Prior, Cooroy
Ron Richie (Cooroy Rag Feb 13) suggests Cooroy, Tinbeerwah, Boreen Point and Kin Kin patients can apply for the PTSS. The 50 km refers to the distance from the patient’s nearest public to the facility providing the specialist medical treatment. Depending where you live in Cooroy and Tinbeerwah, the closest public hospital is Nambour hospital. Distance between the hospitals of Nambour and SC University is 33 km and hence too short to receive a subsidy. Depending where you live in Boreen Point and Kin Kin, the closest public hospital is Gympie. Distance between the hospitals of Gympie and SC University is 95 km and hence should be eligible to receive a subsidy. Name Supplied, Cooroy
I moved to Cooroy a few months ago and I just wanted to say thank you to the people of Cooroy who have been so welcoming. You’ve made what was a very tough decision feel like the right one. My kids have already made friends and settled in well and we’re enjoying a much less hectic lifestyle. So thank you. Pauline, Cooroy PS. We also love reading the local ‘Rag’.
New Noticeboard for the Cooroy Memorial Hall Cooroy’s Memorial Hall now has a terrific new noticeboard on the front door, thanks to the Cooroora Woodworkers’ Club. Club members made the timber noticeboard in their workshop at Lower Mill Road in Cooroy. The noticeboard will provide the community and potential hirers of the hall with contact information and details about events being held in the hall. Cooroy Memorial Hall Association committee member Ray Kelly said the woodworkers had provided a well crafted noticeboard which would serve the Cooroy community well for many years. “The hall committee is very grateful for the Woodies’ donation,” Mr Kelly said.

Noosa Pengari Steiner School wild about Cooroy Fusion Cooroy’s annual Fusion Festival on 11 May is going to be just as wild as ever this year thanks to sponsors, Noosa Pengari Steiner School who are sponsoring the popular Geckoes Wildlife Show and Display. “Our students are as wild about Cooroy Fusion as they are about our Australian reptiles and wildlife. So it is very apt for us to sponsor the Geckoes Wildlife Show and share that enthusiasm with other festival goers,” said Francis Klugman, School Director of Noosa Pengari Steiner School. “The Geckoes Wildlife show has been one of the highlights of the festival in past years. Thanks to Noosa Pengari Steiner School’s sponsorship you will get the opportunity to get up close and personal to some wonderful wildlife,” explained Jim Ennis, Chairperson of Cooroy Fusion committee. The Geckoes Wildlife team have a wide range of
specialist skills and knowledge in the environmental area such as endangered species, fauna friendly backyards and wildlife corridors so it is great fun to see the animals but it’s also a valuable learning experience for all ages! The festival extends the entire main street of Cooroy and includes a host of Apex Park activities such as market, community and food stalls, the Bendigo Bank Entertainment marquee with an entertainment line-up full of great local musicians and performers, skate and BMX demonstrations; 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. The Butter Factory Arts Centre will have various
activities including the Clay Shed Australian Pottery Throw Down and hand building for children and adults. At Cooroy Library there are a range of programs including Markerspace activities, entertainment and an ani-
mal farm sponsored by Cooroy Country Menswear & Jeanery. The Noosa District Orchid Society Annual Show is at the CWA Hall; the Lifeline Denim Sale at the Cooroy Memorial Hall; and the Cooroora Wood-
workers and Cooroy Camphor Laurel Groups will have displays at their premises in Lower Mill Road. For more information on Cooroy Fusion Festival head to www.cooroy fusionfestival.com.au

Stop Noosa Council Closing SpillDEBeans Back Access & Keep Our Cafe Dog Friendly! That’s the message that owner of SpillDEBeans Cafe in Pomona, Deb Vasallom will be delivering in a petition to Noosa Council to protest their decision to prevent customers entering and exiting the cafe through the back gate. With over 800 signatures already collected (almost one third the population of Pomona), Deb hopes the council will pay heed to this clear message and reverse their decision. “The community of Pomona does not want Noosa Shire Council to restrict the back access to the Coffee shop SpillDEBeans. It allows people with dogs to access the cafe via the back entrance. The communtiy of Pomona and the Noosa Hinterland do not agree with Council’s enforced restrictions and disagrees with Councils ridiculous explanation of the back access “being unsafe”, says Deb. “If we have our back access to the garden taken away, it will mean no dogs, and a lot of congestion with everyone forced to enter via Memorial Avenue.” If you would like to sign the petition go to http://chng.it/ LJFkZMb2kd

If you don’t have a nest egg saved up or an equity partner, then you may need to borrow to finance your purchase. That’s when it’s time to call your local banker. Your branch will need key financial information about the business, including profitability, cash flow, sales forecasts and growth potential. Your business banker will look for a sound business with healthy cash flow to ensure you can repay the loan. You’ll need some equity in your business by investing your own money. And you’ll usually need to provide security for the loan, such as a residential property, business assets or other assets, like a share portfolio. What you’ll need • A full tax return for the business for the last financial year. • Details of your qualifications and any previous experience in running a business. • Information about your personal assets and liabilities. • Details about the equity you plan to invest in the business. • Depending on your experience and the profitability of the business, you may also need to put together forecasts of expected profit and loss and cash flow for the first two years. Pitfalls to avoid • Leaving it too late. It can take time for your banker to assess the proposal. Leave yourself time to put your application together and secure finance before you need to sign on the dotted line. • Too little financial information. Your banker needs all the key numbers to make a decision. Cutting corners on your applica-
tion could mean you end up gathering more information later. • Not borrowing enough. A lack of money to keep the business going is a common cause of business failure. You need to ensure you have enough capital to feed your business from day to day, without starving it of cash flow. At the Cooroy and Pomona Community Bank branches of Bendigo Bank we specialise in working with local businesses of all sizes. So, if you have any questions about any form of your business or finances, please contact me on 5447 7131 (Cooroy), 5485 1786 (Pomona). You can also email me at simone.flavelle@bendigoadelaide.com.au.

news The First 40 Years exhibition at Discover Eumundi
COOROY RAG
Eumundi Markets circa 1981 Discover Eumundi Heritage and Visitor Centre is busy developing an exhibition to commemorate and celebrate the 40th year of the Eumundi Markets in its arts space. The Heritage Centre has an extensive collection of objects, photographs and documents relating to the history of the Eumundi Markets and will use these resources to create a glimpse into the past of what has become a world famous market. Many of the photos and information in this heritage collection go right back to the beginning of the market which is recorded as starting on Saturday 24 March 1979 in and around the Eumundi CWA hall with only three stalls and 8 visitors (not counting stallholders family members). It has now grown to have an annual visitation estimated at 1.2million. Over the 40 years a number of market operators have set up adjacent to what is now known as the Original Eumundi Markets and in fact there were market stalls in other locations in Eumundi before this market started. This ‘First 40 Years’ exhibition looks mainly at the Original Eumundi Markets as it has been running continuously for 40 years still under a non profit community association the Eumundi and District Historical Association. Using images of the markets from the 1980’s and 90’s, photographs have been recently taken
in the same locations and will be displayed together to show the ‘Then and Now’ of the market and how the market and the some of the Eumundi streetscape has changed over the years. An old wooden trestle table complete with a striped beach umbrella will create the feel of a market stall circa 1980’s, complete with some objects from the heritage collection which were made by stallholders in the 1980’s through to today. You will be able to view images of the early markets and many of the marketeers, listen to some recorded recollections of the early market days and leave your own memories on the market memory board. Newspaper clippings going right back to beginning will show the development of the market and how the market almost ended before it really began in the early 1980’s. Discover Eumundi thanks the Sunshine Coast Council for heritage levy grant funding received to assist in creating this exhibition to celebrate this milestone year. All are welcome to attend the opening of ‘The First 40 Years’ exhibition on Saturday 23 March at 2pm in Wan’din’in arts space at the rear of Discover Eumundi, 73 Memorial Drive. RSVP is a must to info@discovereumundi.com. The exhibition is on until Saturday 1 June – more details and opening hours at www.discovereumundi.com/eumundi-markets40th

Butter Factory - shining a light on International Women’s Day the region’s female creatives. Cherry’s duplo cottle, she said, was a fantastic insight into artists juggling more than one ‘hat’ in their life. “Cherry using her kids duplo to make her work, which is quite sensual, really shows some of the best parts of being a woman,” Ms Sharples said. “It’s interesting to reflect on the connection in this work, which teeters between functional and sexual, and was created out of functional objects in her everyday life,” Ms Sharples said. ‘Illuminate’ shows the works of close to 40 artists from Noosa, the Sunshine Coast, Gympie from March 01 to April 02. The official opening is from 3pm – 5pm, Sunday March 03 at Cooroy’s Butter Factory Art Centre, 11A Maple St, Cooroy. All welcome, free entry, cash bar available. For more information, visit www.butterfactoryartscentre.com.au
Cherry Logar It’s not your usual plaster mould, but artist Cherry Logar found inspiration to create her new body of work in an unlikely place. The artist, whose works explore sexuality and ideas of love in the future, used her children’s duplo set to cast her plaster, breast-like moulds. A Cottle (its official term) is typically a custom cut wooden object, designed to hold plaster as it dries into a specific shape. “I just grabbed the nearest thing as quickly as possible,” Cherry said. “I feel like I couldn’t have made this better using a table saw – not yet anyway,” she laughed. The final work, an iridescent installation under black lighting, is destined for all-female exhibition ‘Illuminate’ opening 3rd March at Cooroy’s Butter Factory Arts Centre. ‘Illuminate’ is a collaboration between not-for-profit advocacy group WINDO (Women Initiating New Directions Org) and BFAC to run in line with International Women’s Day.

THIRTEEN potters go large for an exhibition inviting them to show off their ‘XX Factor’, at Cooroy’s Butter Factory Arts Centre in March. The brainchild of ceramicist and studio tutor Nicci Parry Jones, ‘XX Factor’ offers a stage for the extraordinary talent among the region’s female ceramicists, outside of their typical practice. “The rationale to create works over half a metre in size is threefold,” Nicci Parry Jones said. “It unifies the show; offers a challenge to the 13 participating women artists and creates a spectacular exhibition!” As co-curator of the works, Nicci Parry Jones said she was excited to see the pieces in the flesh come install day. ‘XX Factor’ coincides with International Women’s Day 2019 (8 March) and is delivered thanks to the generous support from WINDO (Women Initiating New Directions Organisation) and the Noosa Regional Council through a grant from the Regional Arts Development Fund. ‘XX Factor’ opens March 01 with the official opening from 3pm – 5pm, Sunday March 03 at Cooroy’s Butter Factory Art Centre, 11A Maple St, Cooroy.

Calling all young ex-service people
L-R: Michelle Picton, Russ Geelan, Scott Pritchard, Scott Thureson, Jamie Whiteway, Trish Geelan, James Picton IF you have served at least six months in the Australian Defence Force then it’s worth your while to join your local RSL Sub-Branch. Young members of the Cooroy-Pomona RSL Sub-Branch are calling on other young ex-service personnel, to join the Sub-Branch to ensure the tradition is kept alive. When you join the RSL, you haven’t joined a club, you’ve become part of an organisation that has been there to support those who have served our country and their dependants for 100 years. “We understand that most young ex-service people are probably working and have families and your free time will be limited. Your support by being a member is all that is needed and you will be under no obligation to assist with sub-branch duties,” said Cooroy-Pomona sub-branch President, Trish Geelan. The Sub-Branch offers vital support and care to all ex-service personal and families including qualified and experienced members who can assist you with enquiries and applications to the DVA, emergency financial assistance, home and hospital vis-
its, short-term emergency accommodation, low cost housing, bereavement assistance, comradeship and mateship, connections to counselling and support services, connections to other ex-service organisations. “Many leave it too long to act,” said Trish. “Our sub branch is a friendly and informal organisation. There is no rank and all are treated equally. We have members still serving.” The Cooroy-Pomona RSL Sub-branch is heavily involved in our communities. “I think that it is very important that we keep the tradition alive,” says Trish. “To impress upon our present population the sacrifices made by their fellow Australians to give us the freedom, safety we all now enjoy and to care for all ex-service personal and families needing support.” You do not need to have left Australia to be eligible to join. Please help support this very worthwhile organisation and become a member. For more information phone Greg, Kerry, Helen or Shenae at the Cooroy RSL on 5447 6131.

news Calling all ex-defence Personnel Preparations for the Pomona ANZAC Day service are under way. At the rededication of the Pomona War Memorial last year, some ex-Defence personnel expressed their interest in being involved in future events. We are now calling for any who wish to participate to contact Heather Ford at heatherford9194@gmail.com so you can be included in remembering those men and women who have served or are currently serving. It was approx half a century ago since Pomona last held its own ANZAC Day service at the Rotunda, Pomona’s own War Memorial, so now the tradition of holding services at Pomona is being brought back to life. Pomona will always hold their services at 6pm (1800hrs), at the “Going Down of the Sun”, so as not to clash with any other services held in surrounding towns. I will soon be placing the orders for memora-
bilia for sale for ANZAC Day. If you or your friends (You may be or know some ex-defence persons) wish to purchase anything special, please let me know, and I will send you (via email) the book from which you can choose what you would like to order. One lady has already requested a set of badges she wore on her uniform many years ago so she can give them to her Grandchildren. You may have something special you may also like to order for your loved ones. I am happy to place your order on the condition you are committed to your order and must pay for your order. As we have very limited funds, we can’t afford to be left with stock should you change your mind. Closing order date is the 2nd of April (Tuesday). Orders can be placed by contacting Heather at heatherford9194@gmail.com
Noosa District Orchid & Foliage Society Den. bigibbum (bi- gibbum) is an Australian native orchid and I would rate it as one of the best orchids in the world. These plants grow naturally in North Queensland where the weather is affected by the monsoons. The plants are easy to grow as long as you follow the weather patterns from that area, wet summer, dry winter. These plants have been used extensively in hybridising, as the flowers are known for their lasting qualities, up to 4or 5 months. Den. bigibbum is also the floral emblem for Queensland. Commonly known as the Cooktown Orchid. There are 3 main colours, pink white and bi-colour. April, May is the beginning of the flowering season at our place. To see plants like these come and join us at the Noosa District Orchid & Foliage Society meeting which is held at the Tinbeerwah Hall the second Saturday of each month starting at 1pm. These
meetings are a great way to meet new friends and share knowledge of orchid growing. For more information contact Linda 0427570022 or check us out on Facebook.

Christine de Stoop will exhibit at the Pomona Railway Gallery in March It’s not often an artist has the opportunity to undertake a work that may be appreciated for decades and perhaps even centuries to come. In Australia, it’s also rare to find a modern church that reflects the traditional artwork so prolific in churches of Europe and elsewhere. Only completed a couple of years ago, one such work, an extensive mural, can be found at “Our Lady of the Angels” church in North Western Sydney. Artist Christine de Stoop from Peregian Beach operated a cherry picker to reach heights of over 10 meters to accomplish this extraordinary commission. “I had to obtain a licence and pass with a 100 per cent result in a written exam, which was a bit daunting,” says Christine. “I soon got used to working with the cherry picker and it became my best ‘tool’ as it was so finely manoeuvrable. Hubby would send up coffees in a self-made pulley system which certainly kept me going.
I pondered how lucky I was to be working in the 21st century rather than the 16th! Nevertheless, I’ll be up a ladder soon (the old way) to paint an external mural for a resort at Noosaville and I also look forward to seeing erected this year, a memorial I designed for the Tewantin Noosa RSL Sub branch”. Otherwise, Christine is glad to be back painting her regular work and is delighted to be exhibiting some of her work at the Pomona Railway Gallery for 4 weeks from the 16th March. Self taught, Christine has been painting for over 40 years. “I just love to paint and explore different styles and mediums and I hope I can continue to work ‘till the end of my days. I also hope I’ll still be around to be with my great grandchildren when they come to see their parents and grandparents depicted here and there in the church I was privileged to paint.”
Mary Valley Lifestyle Expo Kandanga Hall will host the Mary Valley Lifestyle Expo on 31st March.

Eden Private Hospital now licensed to offer PD Warriorclasses
In exciting news for people with Parkinson’s disease, Eden Private Hospital in Cooroy can now offer the internationally recognised PD Warrior® program. A PD Warrior® Showcase event was held at Eden Private Hospital on Monday, 11th February to launch the new program with around 50 people with lived experience of Parkinson’s, members of support and community groups attending. “As the prevalence of Parkinson’s disease is on the rise and individuals are being diagnosed at earlier stages this is an important service to offer”, says Jo Munday, CEO of Eden Private Hospital. “We have been working closely with local Parkinson’s support groups and the response we have received so far has been incredible”. “We are excited to be a licensed PD Warrior® provider on the Sunshine Coast.
“It means people living with Parkinson’s disease on the Sunshine Coast can access an internationally recognised program on their own doorstep, to help improve and maintain activity, participation and function”, she says. PD Warrior ® is an exercise philosophy that aims to slow Parkinson’s down. Recent evidence demonstrates that the right kind of exercise program is the only way to modify the course of the disease. Launched in April 2012 PD Warrior® quickly grew and by 2013 was a nationally recognised program in Australia. Today, PD Warrior® is licensed in six countries and has trained over 2,000 health professionals and treated more than 5,000 people diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Now it is coming to the Sunshine Coast.

Keeping your ears to the ground Our ears are one of the most important parts of our body, and have two important roles; they are our organ of hearing and balance. The lining of the ear canal is coated with wax, a type of lubrication that stops the tissues from drying out. Some of the more common ear conditions we see in the pharmacy include: Otitis Media an inflammation or infection of the middle ear especially common in young children. Symptoms include: Ear pain; Reduced hearing; Discharge from ear; Fever; Vomiting; Irritability (infants may be unsettled, wake at night, rub their ears, have diarrhoea, lose their appetite). Ear Wax - Wax build up in the outer ear is one of the most common causes of temporary hearing loss. Symptoms include: Ear discomfort; A feeling that ear is blocked or full; Noise in ears (tinnitus); Reduced hearing. Otitis Externa - An inflammation or infection of the outer ear canal. Symptoms include: Irritated, itchy ear; Ear pain, often made worse by movements such as chewing; Discharge from ear (may be smelly); Feeling of fullness in ear; Reduced hearing. There are many different treatment options depending on your specific ear condition. Some of these may include: Pain relieving medicines; Ear drops to soften wax, decrease inflammation and clear infection; Antibiotics as prescribed by your GP; Grommets - tiny drainage tubes inserted through the ear drum by your GP; Ear syringing - done by a doctor; Decongestant nasal sprays/tablets - these medications can help to relieve pressure in the ear and thus decrease pain - especially useful for patients having to use air
travel while suffering with an ear condition. So I’m sure you’re wondering by now what you can do to look after your ears at home. Shake water from ears after swimming and bathing; Use drying, antiseptic ear drops after swimming and bathing to prevent otitis externa; If you scuba dive, learn and practice proper underwater techniques to avoid potentially damaging changes in pressure inside your ears; When flying in an airplane, swallow and yawn frequently when the plane is ascending and descending to equalize pressure in your ears. If you have an upper respiratory problem such as a cold or sinus infection, take a decongestant a few hours before descending, or use a decongestant spray just prior to descent and on landing; Water-repelling ear plugs during swimming and bathing; A warm pack or cold pack can help to relieve the ear pain; Decongestants may help prevent ear pain when flying soon after an ear infection; Do not poke anything into the ear canal to remove a foreign body - it is best to consult a doctor for removal. Take children with ear ache to a doctor as soon as possible. If you have recently had a discharge from your ears or an ear infection, or have had a burst eardrum in the past, get a pharmacist/doctor to check your eardrum before using ear drops. Consult a doctor if any of the following occurs with an ear problem: Pain lasting more than 24 hours; Fever, dizziness, stiff neck; Discharge; Hearing loss or ringing in the ears; Balance problems; If you have pierced ears, clean your earrings and earlobes regularly with rubbing alcohol. Look after your ears. Visit your Livelife Pharmacy for any further information.
Interested in delving deeper into the study of Ayurveda? The new nationally recognised Diploma of Ayurveda course starts 29th April here in Cooroy at Life in Balance Ayurveda and Yoga. Ayurveda is Indian Medicine and based upon a philosophy that sees the body as being innately ‘intelligent’ ~ holding the answers and ability to heal, maintain balance and self-regulate when given the right environment (mental, physical, emotional). The art of living is about nourishing and nurturing this inherent intelligence within each of us. This course allows you to become an Ayurvedic lifestyle, health and wellness councillor, whether that be for yourself, your family or for the community. Ayurveda’s greatest teaching is it makes common sense and has a deep understanding that it is easier to prevent illness, than to cure disease. It not only recognises the uniqueness of each individual but also outlines principles that support better health for each body-mind type. Our new Diploma offers: • Classical Ayurvedic philosophy & theory, • Practical and clinical practices, • Ayurvedic lifestyle consultation, • Ayurvedic and Western nutrition, • Holistic Counselling taught by an Australian leading expert - realise what triggers you and how to heal it, • Health cleanses & rejuvenation therapy • Physical diagnosis • Ayurvedic Pharmacology • Classical Ayurvedic therapies, including the full-body Abhyanga massage Please feel free to contact Heidi DeWald Veraa if you require more information or would like to receive the full Prospectus: info@yourlifeinbalance.com.au or 07 5455 5050 More information: https://yourlifeinbalance.com.au/ study-ayurveda/ The Diploma of Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultation (HLT52615) runs in partnership with Registered Training Organisation, Aminya Natural Therapies Academy (RTO: 40815)

Program for anxiety Anxiety is a condition which impacts people from all walks of life in varying degrees. Anxiety is a normal, natural feeling necessary for our survival and varies from mild uneasiness to extreme distress. Anxiety becomes a problem when the intensity of the anxiety interferes with our quality of life and ability to function on a daily basis. We cannot cure or remove anxiety as it serves a protective function in that it keeps us safe via the fight/flight mechanism, as well as providing us with motivation to act in many situations. Medications can be of benefit but the evidence has found that a multifaceted approach to therapy is the most effective treatment. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is the gold standard in treatment and can be delivered in many different modalities; one to one therapy and /or
group therapy. The treatment includes Mindfulness as well as medication to provide the best outcomes. Healthy lifestyle choices support treatment success as with most health recovery programs. Here at Eden there are a variety of programs that offer patients an opportunity to learn how to manage their physical and mental health. Our CBT program runs two half days a week and covers all aspects of mood and emotional health, delivered by qualified mental health clinicians. Our Healthy Mind, Healthy Body program runs one day per week with a stronger focus on physical health, exercise and healthy choices. This program is run by qualified Exercise Physiologists and Physiotherapists. Please contact Eden Private Hospital for more information.
Kindness Rocks! Some beautifully decorated rocks will soon be placed around town. We are very excited about a new project from Cooroy Outside School Hours Care. The children have formed Cooroy Kindness Rocks. The aim of their project is simply to spread happiness! The Kindness Rocks Project was founded by Megan Murphy in 2015. It all began with a single rock with a positive message written on it left on a Cape Cod beach. Since then, countless numbers of people all around the world have embraced the project and have set about making connections with their communities through painted rocks and inspirational messages. Cooroy Kindness Rocks want to contribute to this amazing movement and have been very busy decorating their first batch of rocks to share with you. Each rock has been thoughtfully and lovingly created by children aged 5 to 12 years. If you are lucky enough to find one of these rocks, you may keep it, give to someone, or hide it again for someone else to find! Cooroy Kindness Rocks also invite you to decorate rocks with positive messages of your own. Share a positive thought or paint a cheery picture. In Ms. Murphy’s words “One message at just the right moment can change someone’s entire day, outlook, life!” The children would like to share their project with you and have set up a Facebook page ‘Cooroy Kindness Rocks’. They would LOVE
you to post photos of any painted rocks you may find! If you don’t have Facebook, drop a line to Cooroy Kindness Rocks, c/- Cooroy Outside School Hours Care, PO Box 816, Cooroy to share your experience with the children. The Kindness Club will definitely be adding some painted rocks to this wonderful project. We hope you will too! “Little hearts can make a big difference “

COOROY RAG
Hole in One for Andy Andy Stewart, a member of the Cooroy Vets and stalwart of the Cooroy Golf Club, scored a hole in one on his first stroke of the day when Cooroy Vets hosted Mt Coolum last week (February 18). Everyone was to hit-off on their respective starting holes with Andy starting on the 15th par 3 hole. He was partnered by three Mt Coolum players and had the honour of hitting off first. All four players teed off and wandered down to the 15th green. Andy believed he had overshot the green and was blissfully searching for his ball when one of the Mt Coolum boys said “Whose ball is this in the hole? At the end of the round Andy was still stunned by the shot saying he felt “surreal and stunned” after scoring his first ever Hole in One. Nice shot Andy!

Women’s Golf
Zone Committee Day winners: Assunta Easton and Zone President, Wendy O’Hare
Women members of the Cooroy Golf Club attended the Zone Committee Day at Bribie Island Golf Club on 8 February. After a heavy downpour not long after we started, the weather cleared and we were able to enjoy the rest of the competition. Cooroy’s own Wendy O’Hare, President of the North Coast Zone, presented the Division 3 trophy to Assunta Easton from Cooroy. The Women’s Invitation Day was held at Cooroy on 12 February. 76 members and visitors completed the round in very hot conditions. Assunta Easton and her partner Lesley Eggleston from Beerwah were the lucky winners on the day on a countback from Chris Michael and Jill Pengelly. Lesley was formerly the Women’s Captain at Cooroy so the win was of special significance to her.
