IN THIS ISSUE
Case closed at Cooroy Library THE Cooroy Library is a great local resource and over the school holidays there’s been plenty of activities on offer to keep the kids entertained. When a staged crime was committed on the premises participants were required to use all their detective skills, including matching fingerprint data, to piece together and solve the case.

Volunteers dishearted by graffiti assaults “PLEASE don’t trash our town.” That’s the message Cooroy resident Tex Pipke wants to communicate to people with spraycans spreading graffiti in our town. His plea comes after both the Scout Hall and Lower Mill site buildings were extensively vandalised by graffiti over the holidays. Although the police have dealt with the juveniles involved in these particular graffiti offences, the cost of removing this ‘artwork’ places a huge burden on our community, and it is not just a financial cost. Mr Pipke, who is the current president of the Lower Mill Board, says that the disheartenment felt by our town’s hardworking volunteers when they see their efforts decimated by these ‘Taggers’ is palpable. “For the past eight years a band of dedicated volunteers have negotiated with government to save the heritage value of the buildings that remain from
January 22, 2014
a 100 year old sawmill. To achieve this many years and many hours of unpaid work has been required. This work has been and continues to be done by community minded persons who seem always to find time from their busy lives to apply the glue that holds us all together, our past,” said Mr Pipke. “It has taken the combined efforts of this merry band of people (women and men) to have these buildings refurbished and the businesses of the town have played a large part is doing so. We also owe a vote of thanks to the help and support Cooroy has received from council (Noosa, SCRC and now Noosa again) to achieve this result. So along come these Neanderthal’s who think they have the right to deface these results. How do you think we might feel about this,” said Mr Pipke. Continued on Page 3

New Year, New Council High Quality Work at very Affordable Prices
WILVOS say wildlife needs help with heat
The New Year has arrived, and brought our brand new council too, They look a likely lot, but they have so much to do. The councillors received a rousing welcome, with obviously great support, They’ll be expected to deliver the goods, and certainly not come up short. Taking over a shire in being, one that was there before, Even if it includes two ex-mayors, with experience galore, Is not an easy task, and demands some sacrifice, But one thing you’ll receive in plenty, is ill-informed but well-meant advice!!

If weight is needed in an argument, you can always call on Bob, And if charm is needed to help swing a deal, Sandy will do the job, There’ll be lots and lots of ifs and buts, and some ‘shouldas’ too, But if they heed what the people want, I’m sure that they’ll come through.

Congratulations to Paul Yewen and Colleen Todd winners of the Mitre 10 Xmas giveaway.
THE dreadful heat wave we experienced has taken its toll on so many wildlife. The WILVOS 54 416200 hotline was getting calls throughout the day and night and our volunteers did a wonderful job in handling all the crisis situations. There was of course an increase in the number of birds and possums that were just found heatstressed and dehydrated. In many cases just short-term care was needed and they were returned to their home territories. Young birds were installed in man-made nests near their original nests and observed to make sure parents resumed the feeding regime. The best scenario. They were the lucky ones. Our hotline also handles calls for bats and these were transferred through to the bat caring groups. Though flying foxes may be annoying to many people, they are part of our ecology and without them so many plant species would be lost forever. The loss of life attributed to flying foxes is tragic, but so is loss of life caused through domestic animal attacks or transfer of disease from domestic pets. Only a small number of dog attacks make the news. Unfortunately, our wildlife often seem to hit the headlines with negative stories. That’s why I love writing about positive adventures with wildlife! One such incident occurred with a young echidna during the heat wave. Fellow wildlife carer, Sylvia, brought around the very docile little animal and we checked it over initially and when put on the cool tiles it wasn’t very mobile but within a matter of five minutes of that cool floor on its tummy and it was standing up on its legs strutting around like it owned the place! A wander into a terracotta pot tray full of water and it was in heaven. It gave itself a good groom and I felt it was truly grateful! Echidnas suffer from any prolonged temperatures over 25 degrees so that is why we only see them in the cool of the day or night and they dig burrows to insulate themselves. At this time of year on really hot days trays of fresh water on the ground each day, and fresh daily water in bird baths do help our wildlife cope with the extremes of temperature.

Volunteers dishearted by graffiti assaults Commercial Sale / Lease
Continued from Page 1 Elaine Williams, Group Leader at Cooroy Scouts, says the group was devastated by the vandalism of their newly painted Scout Den. “A contribution of $500 towards the purchase of paint was generously provided by the Pomona/Cooroy Lions Club and over the course of two weekends the leaders and families managed to sand the den and paint it. This was a hugely satisfying job that not only provided a face lift to the den but inspiration to all who were involved, and to see all of our hard work ruined was a huge disappointment,” said Elaine. Sgt Mal Scott urges members of the community to report graffiti when you see it and has taken a proactive approach to the problem, enlisting help from local businesses. “We’ve asked local businesses who stock spray cans and markers to help us
The Scout Den was given a new lease of life before it was ruined by graffiti make it more difficult for would-be offenders by implementing certain conditions when selling these products to juveniles such as showing proof of ID or having an adult with them. We’ve also asked that they place spray paint in a visible area to deter theft of these products.” By working together we can minimise these acts of vandalism and utilise the money raised through fundraising efforts and donations for the betterment of our community and retain the enthusiasm of our much-appreciated volunteers.

THERE is just one word to describe the official Declaration ceremony held in the grand ol’ dame aka our Memorial Hall….sensational, said new councillor Sandy Bolton. “The support from the community who showed up and welcomed their new Council with warmth, passion and plenty of excitement was both emotional and energizing. The location and hall was symbolic of our future…the blending of old with new and coast with country, a powerful beginning for a Shire dedicated to unity and shared vision. “Myself and fellow Councillors were not only touched by the historic aspect of the day, but by the response from residents which further strengthened our commitment to them and our communities, and to our oaths. “The ceremony was made extra special by having our families attend, including my mother Clare, and they all said it was an occasion they will never forget, and brought them a renewed sense of comradeship, togetherness
and civic pride. “Thank you to everyone who shared this day, it was one that encapsulated everything we love about living in the Noosa Shire. “The inaugural Noosa Shire Council meeting followed the ceremony, held at the council chambers in Pelican St, Tewantin.” Agenda items included: Restoring Noosa’s highly popular kerbside collections, moves to restrict commercial helicopter flights from Teewah Airstrip and ending the Coast council’s development incentive scheme. A report to the council at the end of this month would further detail how the kerbside collections would take place, with the recommendation noting “since the removal of a kerbside collection service, there has generally been an increase in the incidences of illegal dumping across the Noosa region”. The councillors also voted on the recommendation to restrict Teewah Airstrip by “prohibiting use by helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft, but
allow continued use by model aircraft, ultralights and hang gliders”. The staff recommendation was to authorise the mayor Noel Playford and the chief executive officer to make representation to the appropriate authorities, to have the Cooloola Section of the Great Sandy National Park and the surrounding and adjacent residential areas declared as restricted airspace. The new council would undertake a detailed review of services and associated levels as part of the 2014/15 budget development process. Some of the new council’s priority tasks for the next six months are developing long-term financial and asset management plans, a forward capital works program and implementing a community engagement approach.

THE Cooroy Rag would like to retract a brickbat published in the December 18th edition regarding a house in Dunbar Street. The brickbat was inadvertently printed before facts were checked and we apologise for this oversight and to all involved. ON Christmas Eve when my husband and I went to the Uniting Church in Maple St to prepare things for the Christmas Service the next day, we were surprised to find, sitting at the door, some parcels with hand written notes. A local mother was teaching her two small boys, 4 and 2 that the Spirit of Christmas is ‘giving’. They had prepared some of their own belongings as gifts to children who are less fortunate. The conscientious and public-spirited parent had also added gifts to the collection. These were dispersed to recipients who receive services through Cooroy Family Support Centre. BOUQUET to photographer Mark David for supplying the Cooroy Rag with the great photo of the Santa race at Xmas in Cooroy that was on the front page of the December 18 edition of the Cooroy Rag. We appreciate his, and all contributors efforts, to support and get involved in your local paper. BOUQUET to Rachel and Chloe at Cooroy IGA who came to the rescue when an elderly gent left his wallet on the store counter. BRICKBATS to Telstra. 7 days telephone problems. No telephone call weekend on Black Mountain Road, A lot of elderly people were inconvenienced and worried. One elderly gentleman made the journey to the Telstra Shop at the Noosa Civic to enquire about a mobile phone and was told there was a 2 ½ hour wait. Disgraceful.

The competition which ran through December was not only popular but also brightened up Cooroy through the festive season thanks to the 21 shops that participated. Thousands of people gazed at the wonderful decorations that festooned the windows and hundreds of people voted on their favourite window with entries being received from across the Coast and even further afield! The shop that had the most votes was Maple Lane Country Gifts with 2nd place being taken out by Cooroy Guardian Central Pharmacy and Richie’s Bakery coming a close third. Those that scanned the QR codes received a special discount at each store making them a winner too! Kim S from Cooroy was the lucky voter who won a $100 IGA voucher. The word on the street is that some shops are planning their 2014 windows already trying to increase their likelihood of taking out the very special title of “Favourite Window”!

news The Great Australian Dream Geoff Edwards, Branch Manager, Bendigo Community Bank, Cooroy AUSTRALIA Day, one of the great days of the year is fast approaching. It reminded me once again of the Great Australian dream...to own your own home! Helping people on the road to that dream is one of the most enjoyable parts of a bank manager’s job. Like the pursuit of any big dream, there’s some work involved and some processes to follow in setting up your home loan. You will need to have saved a certain amount of your own funds as a deposit - which is usually a minimum of 5% of the purchase price. There are also other costs to allow for, such as the loan set up costs, stamp duty for the purchase as well as your own solicitors charges and search fees. Having the deposit is the first big step in the process. You also need to fit the criteria of the lender’s policy for such things as job stability and capacity to repay the loan.
These things will all be taken in to account during the assessment period. The assessment process may vary from bank to bank and depend upon what type of loan you’re applying for. For example at Bendigo Bank your local manager will have their own lending authority to approve most credit cards, personal and residential loans. It’s always a good idea to get to know the staff at your local and the manager in particular. With all the electronic means of banking in this day and age, ATM’s, internet,
phone banking, direct credit and debits, not all customers regularly visit their branch and getting to know each other can be difficult. A bank will need to use letters, emails or phone calls to stay in touch with customers they usually don’t see. Nothing is more reassuring during any application process than feeling confident in the representative guiding you through it. So, if you have that Great Australian Dream as we approach our special national day, please call in or contact me on 5447 7131 or geoff.edwards@bendigo adelaide.com.au.

Wellington’s Way
Queensland’s new VLAD Laws: I have been quite vocal over recent weeks in relation to the Government’s new Vicious Lawless Association
Disestablishment legislation. First let me say I believe if you commit a crime you should face the full force of the law – no question. But I also believe everyone should be equal before
by MP Peter Wellington
the law and Courts should be able to impose reasonable bail conditions until the charges have been tested in a Court. The case of the “Yandina 5” highlights the fact that under these new VLAD
laws you are guilty until proven innocent and can be thrown in jail with solitary confinement without access to reasonable bail conditions. The glaring example of the injustice of these laws is that people charged with murder or other serious crimes do not face mandatory solitary confinement until the charges against them are heard, and they have access to reasonable bail conditions. The VLAD laws mandate the incarceration in solitary confinement of three or more persons of an ‘alleged” (not proven) member or former member of an outlawed organisation without them being convicted and without access to normal bail considerations. We have seen these
Bowls club not viable
Bowls club members were formally advised of the Board’s decision at a meeting early this month at the Bowls Club AT a recent meeting of the Board of Cooroy RSL & Citizens Memorial Bowls Club Inc a decision was made to immediately close the restaurant and bar at the Bowls venue but to continue using the venue for functions. “This decision was taken only after many months of careful consideration,” said Club President, John Simmons. Mr Simmons stated at the meeting that the Board that the Bowls Club had been in financial trouble since merging with the RSL Club 7 years
ago, but they had endeavoured to maintain bowls in Cooroy. “In 2011 we set a deadline of December 2013 to try and do something posititive about the situation but had been unsuccessful in turning it around,” said Mr Simmons. “Unfortunately, the costs of maintenance, council fees, electricity and water etc has made it no longer viable,” he said. “It is intended that the green and club house be placed for sale on a national basis but the game of bowls will continue to be played until a sale is achieved.”

five men locked up in solitary confinement for having a beer at the Yandina Pub. This is un-Australian and cruel by any standards. Fair enough lock them up if it is proven they have committed a crime but they haven’t had their charges tested in a Court to prove whether they are innocent or guilty. Another disgraceful act by the Newman Government is that they refused to allow Magistrates to hear bail applications for people charged under the VLAD laws instead appointing their own Chief Magistrate to hear all Queensland bail applications under these laws. The Law Society, Tony Fitzgerald and other eminent Australians have all condemned these laws.
Cooroy Chamber Chat HAPPY New Year from the Cooroy Chamber of Commerce The year has kicked off with a bang with the inauguration of our new councillors being held right here in Cooroy at the Memorial Hall. What a fantastic start to the New Year for our town! December was a very busy month for the volunteers of the Cooroy Chamber of Commerce - putting up the Christmas decorations around town, organising Christmas in Cooroy, having a fantastic Christmas party and then on the hottest day of January pulling down the Christmas decorations! They all deserve a big thank you for their efforts! As a result, January is a quiet month for the Chamber and all the volunteers get a much deserved break. The first Chamber meeting for the year will be Tuesday 11th February and it will be held at Cooroy Hotel from 6pm. Bring your laptop, smart phone or tablet along as we’ll be having a presentation on the “Top Facebook Tips for Business”. And on the topic of Facebook, don’t forget to like Cooroy’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/Cooroy) to get all the latest news about what is happening around town.

Busting the super myths Myth 1 – Super is a type of investment. Wrong. Super is a tax-effective way to save for your retirement. Within super you can invest in different types of investments—or asset classes—with different levels of risk and return. Myth 2 – I have no control over my super. Wrong. Super is your money and, while it’s invested over a long term, there’s a lot you can do to take control over your retirement savings. You don’t need to accept the default investment option. You can change your super investment to reflect where you’re at in life. Most super funds offer a choice of investments depending on how much risk you’re prepared to take on. • If retirement is still a fair way off, you have longer to recover from any market downturns. So you might be willing to take on more risk. • If you’re nearing retirement, you have less time to recover from any market downturns. So you might take a more conservative approach and take on less risk. You can put your super into an investment platform, offering a wide range of investment options, from direct shares all the way through to managed funds. You can even set up a self managed super fund to take full control of your super. But don’t forget, you’ll take all the responsibility for complying with rules, administering your fund and managing your investments. Most SMSF owners get professional help with the paperwork.

Myth 3 – I won’t have to share my super in a divorce. Wrong. Super is on the table in any divorce settlement, along with the family home and other investments. It’s treated just like any other asset. And that counts for de facto couples as well. You can split your super payments as part of a settlement. But you’ll still need to keep that money in a super fund until retirement. Myth 4 – I can’t access my super until I retire. Not strictly true. Many people don’t realise that if you were born before 1 July 1960, you can start a transition to retirement strategy when you turn 55. It’s a really tax-effective way to start drawing an income from your super, while still working and contributing towards your retirement nest egg. You can call your super fund or a financial planner to find out the real story behind super. Go digital Now that you’ve busted some super myths, here are some simple digital solutions to help you sort out your super: • Consolidate your super into one account.

Letters to the editor THANKS to family and neighbours who kindly looked after my well being while I had a total hip replacement at Noosa Hospital on November 7 and to Eden Rehab at Cooroy on November 11 and home to my place at Black Mountain on November 20. Luckily for me I have a great daughter and family and lots of nieces and nephews and friends who shared overnight and day time stays while I recuperated. Glad to say 10 weeks on I am progressing well. The op was very successful. Im not doing anything foolish. Thanks to the sub-branch of Cooroy RSL for all their assistance in making some changes to my home. Hopefully I can stay there for a long time to come. If I have forgotten to thank anyone off hand, well too bad. My horse, garden and the mail was taken care of by fond, loving neighbours. From the bottom of my heart thanks a million and hopefully I will be pounding the streets of Cooroy before too long. A Happy New Year to you all and thanks for all the visitors and get well cards and wishes. Joan Boyce, Cooroy
HEATED debate is raging in Qld whether or not to change the name Police Service to Police Force. On the surface it makes little difference what you call the enforcement arm of Government. However, Service conjures up the idea that the Police are there to serve the public, whereas Force, gives the impression that the Police are there to serve their masters, the government. With all the weaponry the Police are now carrying it would be more appropriate to call it a Force, as in reality, that is what it has become. As the government churns out more and more laws whose themes seems to be to oppress the population, I guess they need all the weaponry they are carrying; if not to use, then to intimidate. The Police will continue to serve their political masters whether or not its is called a Force or a Service. So, in these financially austere times it would be best to continue with Service and save the money that would be spent on changing all the letter heads and other paraphernalia. Jay Nauss

WITH more than 1,000 entries in the Erindale Park Community Competition so far, one thing is perfectly clear… Cooroy is a town that is truly loved by its residents. The strong sense of community, the friendly and warm people and excellent range of local cafes and shops top the list of why people love living in Cooroy. But there’s also the town’s ‘country charm’, ‘ the majestic views’, its ‘village atmosphere’ and its ‘great access to services’ that keep locals happy. And for some it’s even more simple Cooroy is ‘the home of the Maison de Provence’s Éclair!’ Wythes Real Estate in Cooroy is coordinating the sale of Erindale Park. Project Sales Coordinator Samantha Hargrave said the response to the community competition had been overwhelming and had demonstrated the community’s infectious positivity and enthusiasm. “This town has a positive vibe that is literally visible on the faces of people in the street, Cooroy is a happy place and a great community in which to live,” Samantha said. Mel Luke from Cooroy’s Super IGA said he was not surprised that the competition had received such a big response. “This community has a big heart and seems to always get behind positive initiatives such as this,” Mr Luke said. “I still expect a big rush of entries
before the competition officially closes on Australia Day. “A $500 boost to the weekly shopping budget can go a long way, so I encourage everyone to get their entry in. “There is no limit on submissions, so don’t miss out, put forward as many ideas as you can think of, it only takes a few minutes.” Eric Pernoud from Maison De Provence said the competition had been a great discussion point for cafe patrons over the last couple of months. “I think people in Cooroy are very proud of their town and enjoy highlighting all the positive aspects of life here,” he said. “Imagine having a year’s supply of some of our mouth-watering french pastries, hosting friends or family to some French cuisine and hospitality or perhaps taking home some of our lovely gifts or homewares.” The Erindale Park Community Competition was launched by developers Kev and Val Kelly to celebrate the first stage of the community’s newest housing estate Erindale Park on Lake Macdonald Drive. The competition simply asks participants to explain in ten words of less - What do you love about Cooroy? Entrants are in the draw to win 1 or 2 great prizes worth $500 each from Maison De Provence and the IGA . Entry forms can be completed online at www.erindalepark.com.au or in-store at the IGA or Maison De Provence. Winning entries will be announced via the Cooroy Rag.

COOROY RAG police beat
with Sergeant Mal Scott
I COULDN’T agree more with the sentiments expressed in the last issue of the Cooroy Rag which related to the incredible community spirit and good will shown by all who attended the Christmas in Cooroy street parade in early December. We are extremely lucky to have such a community and it is clearly evident to me that the community spirit is growing each year. The good will and coming together of the community is not only on display at the Christmas parade but can be seen shining through in other ways throughout the year. Each edition of the Rag tells of many bouquets given out to individuals highlighting good will and hopefully the brickbats given out are ever diminishing. Good will and community spirit is contagious so keep spreading it around with positive behaviour which can be as simple as a smile and a wave to a stranger. Of course my area of responsibility is that of law and order and I’ve said many times before that the local police service are only as effective as the community in which they serve so with that said I am pleased to report a number of successful investigations in which offenders have been apprehended for various anti social and criminal offences that if
left unchecked had the potential to escalate and greatly affect the broader community. To show just how effective the close police community relationship has become in Cooroy I’d like to pass on this recent event. Recently, the Noosa District High School was broken into when thieves caused severe damage to the windows and doors of the canteen when they bashed there way inside before stealing a substantial amount of property. The matter was reported to the police and an investigation commenced. Due to evidence located it was quickly apparent that juvenile offenders were again responsible. Less than 24 hours later I was attending a community meeting and a long time local approached me and mentioned that he had found some items in a creek that he thought were highly suspicious. This very small piece of information was immediately acted upon and within 2 hours a large stash of stolen property from the school canteen was located within a nearby residence. Police have now located and apprehended four juveniles who have been dealt with under the provisions of the Juvenile Justices Act. I tell this story to highlight the fact that the smallest piece of information can
Cooroy-Eumundi Garden Club THE next meeting will be the AGM to be held on Monday 10 February at the Anglican Church Hall, Miva Street, Cooroy commencing at 9.30 am. The speaker will be Madaline Healey who will talk on ‘Biological Pest Control in Your Garden’. New members are always welcome. For further information please contact Secretary John on 5415 1213 or mobile 0410 485 285.
led to a successful outcome and I again encourage community members to pass on information to us so we can help keep Cooroy a safer place to live. I have no doubt that the fact these juveniles had there wings clipped just prior to the Christmas school holidays commencing stopped further offences from occurring over the holidays. Juveniles have also been apprehended for various graffiti offences around the Cooroy CBD including premises located at the Cooroy Scout Hut, the Old Mill Sight, the Wood Workers Club, the Cooroy Railway footbridge and a local Dentist’s premises. If you are a shop keeper who stocks and sells spray paint cans and large permanent markers can you be extra careful on whom you sell these items to. A number of local shop keepers have already agreed to place these items near their counter areas so they can’t be easily stolen and also not to sell these items to juveniles without there parents accompanying them and photographic identification being produced. Members of the community need to keep reporting any anti social
behaviour of juveniles to the police otherwise the problem may keep growing. The incidence of Domestic Violence continues to be of great concern with local police called to several violent incidents over the Christmas New Year Period. I can’t remember the last domestic incident I attended that didn’t have either one or both persons involved substantially affected by alcohol. With the current hot weather, tight financial positions of most family units and the post Christmas credit card statements all adding to the pressures of family life I’d like to encourage anyone who feels they need support or advice in this area to contact your local police station as we have a very good referral system in place where we can refer people on to a range of help agencies who are specially trained in dealing with the various issues arising from the pressures of modern day life. Both men and woman should learn to recognise the warning signs that build up and seek to remove themselves from the situation prior to matters getting out of
control and limit their alcohol consumption as this only adds fuel to the fire. Police place a high priority on investigating Domestic Violence incidents and have strong powers of intervention where appropriate. Cooroy Police are contactable on 54425030 or if you would rather seek help yourself then the following numbers may be of assistance. Men’s Help Line: 1800600636, DV Connect Women’s Help Line: 1800811811, Relationships Australia: 1300364277, Lifeline: 131114. Alcoholics Anonymous Helpline 07 32559162. On the traffic front, the recently introduced hoon legislation is starting to have a big impact on driving behaviour. Hoons are starting to become aware that dropping burnouts and driving in a manner causing excessive noise as well as street racing means that they forfeit there car for 90 days so keep reporting bad driving behaviour to police so we can get these hoons off our roads. RBT and radar is being worked on a daily basis around Cooroy so avoid a fine by staying under the speed limit and don’t drink and drive.

THE family of Steve Maher invite you to join in their celebration of a wonderful father, family man, community man and friend to so many. Steve’s funeral service will be held at Drysdales Tewantin on Friday 24th January at 11am, followed by burial at Pomona Cemetery and wake at the Federal Hall. An open casket will be held for family and friends prior to the funeral. Steve was born in Gympie hospital to parents Tom and Iris Maher. The youngest of three sons, with older brothers Bernie (Sam) and Pete, he grew up in the rolling hills of the Maher family dairy farm in Federal. Steve moved to Pomona as an adult and spent 16 years working for the Noosa Shire Council before returning to the family dairy farm in 1995 to run the property with his eldest brother Bernie. Steve has been an involved and valued
Middle Creek resident ever since. Steve is the former husband of Tanya and proud, loving father to Teiqua and Callum. Steve was a fit and healthy man, because of this he has been able to give the gift of life through organ donation. Teiqua, Callum and Tanya have taken so much comfort knowing his organs have saved other families from their
pain. The family requests that instead of flowers friends speak to their loved ones, know their wishes in regards to organ donation and register at w w w . d o n o r register.gov.au. Donations can also be made in Steve’s honour to the McGrath Foundation, which raises money to place breast care nurses in communities across Australia.
Astronomy club of Pomona WHILE it may have Pomona in its’ name, like the universe the Astronomy club of Pomona draws its’ membership from a much larger area. Not, maybe light years away, but certainly a number of kilometres from this lovely country town. Started by Cliff & Jacqui Watson at the urging a close friend. We started to meet in the Lawson’s Shed at the town’s community centre. These are excellent facilities with a good kitchen to support the needs of bleary eyed would be astronomers with caffeine (and bickies too). While one does not need to own a telescope to be a member, it is something many of our members yearn to have. A number of our members bring their ‘scopes for others to peer through and to get an idea of what might satisfy their needs. Setting up in town where there is quite a lot of ambient light is not always the best place to view the heavens. From time to
time we plan field trips where the viewing is better. Much of the fun is learning about our heavens from Fount of Wisdom members like Dr Ian Richards. Dr Richards got his first telescope at age 13 and after a stint in University earning honours in Math and Physics not to mention Computer Science his interest in heavenly bodies continued. Additionally, Cliff has presented a number of times too and his subjects are most interesting. This writer has often left a meeting with a new perspective on how the heavens work and what is really going on. It is one thing to look at Saturn in a ‘scope but quite another to learn about its’ size, the makeup of
its’ rings and see how many moons are circling. Even gazing at the moon has new meaning when you see the close up of mountains and craters a few at a time. The universe is so big it can be hard to get your head around it. To make things more interesting Jacqui provides quizzes for us to test our knowledge. New members are always welcome. Just let us know if you plan to attend, on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7:30pm, (Just after dark) and spend an hour or so with us. You may get hooked. Call Jackie on 5485 1767 or email cliff.watson @ v i r g i n b r o a d band.com.au We look forward to greeting you.

As usual your professionalism, efficiency and service were outstanding. Thank you so much guys - you really are one in a million. Teresa E. After visiting at least a dozen car yards in Brisbane and looking at 50 Prado’s we were thrilled to finally find a vehicle to suit our needs and appreciated your efficient service which enabled us to get back on the road home without delay. We had a great drive back to Gladstone. Jenny & Jason V. I trusted a used car salesman for the first time in 50 years - bought a Triton ute sight unseen - delivered by semi [to Maitland NSW] - vehicle was as described - been trying to find something wrong - can’t. Price was right - good people to deal with. Will be contacting you when my son buys another vehicle. Colin T.
We pretty well looked in most yards in Noosaville . . . eventually ended up at Noosa Village Autos and thank goodness we did ... made our purchase so seamless and gratifying. We would recomend Noosa Village Autos to anyone looking for a quality used car. This is an unsolicited testimonial and the only one we have ever written for a car dealer. Our car is wonderful and exactly what we were looking for. John & Trudy W. I have been meaning to come in and thank you again for my beautiful car, I love it!!! Your service is exceptional and free from pressure and as you were mentioned to me by a couple of people who purchased vehicles from you I have not been hesitant in letting everyone know exactly where I got my fabulous vehicle.

Keep our Blue Light Disco going THE Cooroy Blue Light Disco held at the Memorial Hall every month a great local initiative that allows children up to 16 years to enjoy a night out with their friends. It’s also an excellent opportunity to parents to enjoy some child-free time relaxing in the knowledge that it’s a safe, fun environment manned by the police and responsible adults that hold a blue card. And it’s in Cooroy! Unfortunately numbers have been dropping off and if there’s not more support for the event it’s in danger of being canned. Blue Light volunteer Cathy Breed, says that perhaps social media has had something to do with the decline in numbers as children can interact with each other on-line. But it could also be
for Older Adults!
because the children who have been attending for years are getting older and it’s time to promote the event again and let the kids who haven’t attended before know what a great time the disco is. There’s plenty of prizes and give-aways, it’s totally safe being fully supervised, with no-one allowed to leave the hall without being picked up by a parent, the DJ Mike Neilsen of Capital Road Show plays all the latest hits and it’s a great way to catch up with your mates. So please, support your local Blue Light Disco and keep it going. The next disco is on February 15th, 6.30-9pm. Cost is $7 entry.

dining & entertainment Eumundi Live Australia Day weekend!
COOROY RAG
Eumundi Live has a delectable menu of fine musical grooves planned for Australia Day Weekend festivities on Sunday 26th January! Headlining are The John Steel Singers, touring their new album, Everything’s A Thread. Their music holds thrilling sparks of creative spontaneity - and this album flaunts a band with enviable confidence in the ability to let their songs take them where they need to go; to just play rather than meticulous contrast. The result is music with robust grooves, eccentric melodies and those trademark harmonies.
Principal support are The Dawn Chorus, who’ve been making their mark on the local and international music scene since 2008.The band have neatly honed their distinct sound from an extensively wide range of genres, settling somewhere between Folk, Blues, Rock, Jazz and Indie. Renowned for his intense delivery, main man, Mitch Davis puts into words personal tales that captivate listeners from all ages and backgrounds. With a voice that stands unique and powerful, you can’t help but stop, look and listen. Also on the bill is Sunny Coast blues sensation Barry Charles and the Deeper Beat. Not just another singer, Barry Charles is a man with an extraordinary voice. Regarded as one of the most innovative vocalists around today, he exhibits his five-octave
range with powerful textures of tone and emotion. Barry’s performances mesmerize with deep blues grooves and wildly free improvised vocal scatting. He selects his songs carefully, with an eclectic mix of his originals and selected album covers, which he gives with his own unique interpretation. His songwriting touches the soul with observations of life, love, fantasy and humor - darkness and light. Completing our line-up for this fabulous feast of pop, funk, dance and rock on Sunday 26th January are the Tea Society - a 5 piece indie rock band hailing from the Sunshine Coast playing a fusion of sunny indie rock with a jazzy funk vibe. Coming from different musical backgrounds and influences, they swing from gypsy jazz to indie pop.

Charlie and Georgia Cronin with Sandy Bolton and Alisa Wythes
THE hardest decision to date, after the recent council elections, according to Sandy Bolton – Councillor Elect, was to judge the recent Wythes Real Estate “Dress Your Pet in Orange” competition. The photos had been collected and displayed in their new Cooroy office for the best part of December, in what is hoped to be an annual event.So from the bright bows, hairsprays, crepe paper and other creative bits and pieces, Georgia and Charlie Cronin, with their three pets on the one photograph were announced the winner and are now the proud owners of a new Quad Bike – in orange of course! Georgia and Charlie were surprised and delighted with their win, which surprised them speechless – we suspect for a limited time. The photos remain on display in the Wythes Real Estate window.

COOROY Fish ‘n’ Chips in Railway Square, Diamond Street, has a new owner. Sharon Kerridge took over the store on the 16th of
December and customers are noticing the difference and are flocking in. Sharon’s seafood is sourced fresh from Tin Can Bay, and she now stocks fresh prawns and oysters sold by the kilo, or peeled in takeaway servings. She is bringing back the value in the fish and chip packs, offering new specials all the time, (See advert on page 2 for current deals) and generous servings of big fat homestyle chips. Since taking over Sharon has worked hard making the shop cleaner, brighter and fresher, and getting to know the local Cooroy businesses where she buys all her meat and produce she needs for her extensive menu of burgers. Having worked in a fish and chip shop in Gympie for the last five years, Sharon is excited to now run her own shop and with her friendly attitude, attention to great product quality and a genuine desire to provide a good value takeaway for the whole family, you’ll be excited as well.

The truth about Pilates HAVE you heard of Pilates? Are you aware of the benefits of Pilates? Here are some facts regarding the benefits of pilates and how it can help you in every way: 1. Pilates can strengthen your bones and reduce the effects of osteroarthritis. Pilates is ideal for people with osteoporosis as it combines weight-bearing and resistance exercises. It strengthens bone tissue without impacting on joints and bones. 2. Pilates can strengthen your inner thighs. To balance the look and function of your thighs, you need to pay attention to the inner thigh muscles – the adductor group. The adductors pull the legs together and help stabilise the hip and pelvic joints. Focusing
on the inner thigh muscles will also assist core stability. 3. Pilates can improve your balance. Surprisingly, it is not only the injured or elderly who have poor balance. It is just as common in fit, athletic people. You can improve your balance by doing exercises that bring a change to your usual state of stability. 4. Pilates can stimulate your thyroid. Lifestyle, stress and genetics can take a toll on the thyroid, a gland at the front of the neck that produces hormones to regulate metabolism, energy and other bodily functions. 5. Pilates increases your core stability. All of the exercises in pilates are designed around your core. 6. Improve your golf swing with Pilates. Even
a marginal improvement in core strength and posture will dramatically improve general performance, swing, placement and drive consistency, with a reduced risk of injury and pain. Many pro golfers swear by Pilates for muscle balancing, core conditioning, posture, physical strength and endurance. The Pilates “twist” manoeuvre will help strengthen the muscles used to swing a golf club. 7. Pilates can lengthen and strengthen the spine muscles. Pilates can relieve and redress all lower back conditions - so long as you work under supervision of a qualified Pilates teacher. Group Pilates classes might be fun but may not be the place for concentrated
rehabilitation. This spine stretch can help to strengthen and lengthen the muscles of the spine. 8. Detox your body with Pilates. Feeling like a fresh start or want to wake up a sluggish system? Pilates has the ability to increase detoxification through the impact of specific exercises on the internal organs, lymphatic system and increased circulatory responses. 9. Reduce your ageing with Pilates. Pilates exercises increase circula-
tion and activate underused tissue, which helps to slow the ageing process. 10. Pilates helps you reduce stress. Stress is often the underlying cause of ill health and exercise is one of the best ways to combat the effects and causes of stress. Intouch Physio offers specialized and individualized pilates programs for all ages. Contact Intouch Physio on 5442 5666 for a ½ price pilates assessment if you mention this editorial.

Your Notebook of Wellbeing CAN we achieve the wellbeing needed to cope with what comes up for us? That’s the theme of a workshop entitled The Notebook of Discovery. Participants will have the opportunity to explore the journey to wellbeing of presenter Barry Long. They will take away a guidebook for their own journey. The workshop is in the beautiful venue of Cooroy Anglican Church hall, where the outside can be seen from the inside. “It’s based on my experience,” said Barry “I kept meeting setbacks from crises of every kind. To cap it all off, I discovered - many years after I reached retirement age - that I would be working for the rest of my active life.” Despite his predicament, Barry realised he was coping with adversity well. “ I decided to take stock of what kept me afloat, so buoyant, throughout all these ups and downs.” “Six elements stood out. Today they’re still supporting my well being.” After examining and researching these elements, Barry compiled a pocket notebook for his own guidance. The notes became the theme of his interactive workshop. To find out more about how things
shaped Barry’s regeneration, you will need to attend his workshop. “Discover for yourself what it is about everyday life that can renew your future.” he said. “You might need to cope with tensions, rise above stress or find a new direction in retirement.” A Fellow of the Australian Institute of Management, Barry was awarded the Public Service Medal in an Australia Day honours list and the Centenary Medal of Australian Federation for service to local government and the community. Barry attributes his distinctive voice and presentation skills to a lifetime of speaking in public to groups and local communities. His colleague, Frances Cahill, is a public speaking coach with an honours degree in linguistics and more than a dash of drama. A qualified trainer, Frances also provides advice and training to close skill gaps.

95 year young vet Jim Dunstan and Hayden 3 ½ years Some very enthusiastic vets turned up of our first meeting which was held on Monday 16th December 2013. It was obvious that these gentlemen already identified their state of health and acted on it by visiting their GP, Specialist or practitioner. These veterans could become a core group as they were keen to meet every month and were prepared to help attract more defence force personnel. The group had a lively and beneficial discussion over coffee and have vowed to return with suggestions for ongoing activities. It was an absolutely delightful inclusion to our meeting to see the intergenerational tutorial session between. It just shows that age is no barrier in today’s technological world. If there are any ex defence service personnel who may like to connect with like-minded people with similar backgrounds, come down to Club Cooroy (RSL Club) on Monday 10th February 2014 at 1000 or contact Terence Charles (MHPE Volunteer 0411 424 170) for more information.

health Get a Massage with Niblett Technique
COOROY RAG
THE Niblett Technique is a form of massage that was developed by respected sports therapist, Allan Niblett. The Niblett Technique specializes in soft and deep tissue, muscle, ligament and tendon manipulation. Over fifty years of proven clinical experience and expertise have been condensed into this very effective modality named after its founder. The Niblett Technique involves manipulating muscles and tendons to treat acute and chronic illness. It is very popular amongst health care professionals with osteopaths, chiropractors, physiotherapists, naturopaths and doctors taking on and recommending the method to improve their patient’s health. Cooroy has its own qualified Niblett Technique practitioner, Maria Sturre of Make a Difference Health & Fitness. “This technique quickly and effectively treats muscle, ligament, tendon & nerve conditions. Anyone who experiences pain from these ailments knows how debilitating it can be. In most cases, Niblett Technique provides relief of symptoms almost immediately which makes it very popular with people suffering from all types of complaints,” explains Maria. Virtually everyone agrees that the most ob-
vious benefit of massage is that it makes you feel great! The stress-relieving, soothing results are enough for many to include massage as a regular part of their lives. But there are many less obvious benefits of massage including lowering blood pressure, restoring suppleness and strength to your muscles and improving their overall function, maintaining flexibility in your joints helping with conditions such as anxiety, arthritis, asthma & bronchitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic & temporary pain, circulatory problems, depression, digestive disorders, headache, insomnia, myofascial pain, sinusitis, sports injuries, stress, and TMJ. So, you can see massage does quite a bit more than just relax you and work out the kinks in a sore back. Massage has been practiced for thousands of years and is one of the earliest known health treatments known to man. Massage offers more benefits than you may have imagined. Isn’t it good to know that something that feels so great can contribute to your long-term health as well? For more information about the Niblett Technique or to make a booking contact Maria on 5442 6179, 0407 597 748 or visit the website at www.madhf.com.au

Kenilworth doubles at Brisbane International 2014 TWINS Jesse and Jordan Eckley (13) took their places on court at Brisbane International 2014 in their role as official ballkids for the world-class event. The duo from Kenilworth returned to the Brisbane International after attending as players in 2013. The boys, who often hit at the Noosa Springs Resort were part of the Sunshine Coast team in the Brisbane International 2013 Schools Challenge, where they enjoyed wins throughout the competition, dropping only one match to eventual winners, Brisbane Boys Grammar. But it was the time spent as spectators that served the main motivation for signing up as ballkids in this year’s tournament. “The boys loved the experience,” said the boy’s father, Darrell Eckley. “It was a great confidence builder for them, requiring discipline, proficiency, professionalism, and pride, and they got to meet some
of the best tennis players in the world,” he said. “That sort of experience for kids is so inspiring. I don’t think people realise how fundamental the top players are for getting young players involved in the sport. “The Brisbane International and Australian Open are a huge boost to tennis, especially to the kids,” continued Eckley, who is also a local tennis coach and sees first hand how the ballkid program can really grow the game. The boys also used their time at the Brisbane International as training to develop their skills in the hopes of joining the Australian Open ballkids squad in the coming years. Top ballkids from the Brisbane International, Hyundai Hopman Cup and Apia International Sydney are invited to join the Australian Open squad which services more than 750 matches during the Grand Slam tournament.

Cooroy goes International Haven’t got time for 18 Holes
IT was a mighty big day for our Shire when representatives from Cooroy attended the draw for the Australian Open in Melbourne as part of their incredible 2nd placing in the AO Blitz. On Friday 10th January Cooroy tennis club coach Rob Schmitt and Noosa Councillor Sandy Bolton had the honour of not only attending the draw to see where their allocated player Serena Williams was to play in the first round but also to rub shoulders with sporting greats including Boris Becker and Novak Jokevich. It was also a wonderful opportunity to network with Tennis Australia hierarchy and government representatives, and to develop future pathways and relationships for our sports and tourism industry . This has been an incredible coup for our small village of Cooroy who placed second in the AO Blitz which is part of Tennis Australia onslaught to take tennis into all corners of Australia . Rob Schmitt, speaking on the honour of attending such a prestigious event stated “Cooroy has now been firmly imbedded into the Australian tennis scene. Should Serena take top honours, Councillor Bolton was thrilled to be a guest and said “this is a monumental occasion for not only Cooroy but Noosa Shire and the Sunshine Coast. Rob, Cooroy Tennis Club and all who participated should be intensely proud and excited that they have taken the name of Cooroy worldwide. Congratulations to all on this amazing result”!
