Pomona preparing to crown its king for 2016
Labinsky Family - L-R Robert, Neil and Cameron. Neil is the uncle and Robert and Cameron are his nephews and they will be all back this year to race. Times in 2015 - Neil Labinsky 28:10; Cameron Labinsky 38:17; Robert Labinsky 40:10 IN and around Pomona, the countdown to 24 July has begun. For the 38th time, the Noosa hinterland town will host one of Australia’s most gruelling and historic mountain races. Unique in every way, the Pomona King of the Mountain Festival is one of those events that seems to build on its strong crowd numbers every year. Pomona King of the Mountain chairperson, Heather Manders said the festival remains one of the best opportunities for the community and visitors to get together in the hinterland. “Who would have thought a simple bet in a pub in 1958 would see us all here in 2016 preparing to cheer on amazing athletes and celebrate hard
Last year’s overall winner Hayden Wilde (from New Zealand) in a time of 25.42
working volunteers - particularly the Cooroy Pomona Lions Club?” Heather said. While the festival has now become a hallmark event for Pomona, its origins are typcs of a dare between mates at the local watering hole. In 1958, at the bar of the old Railway Hotel, local footballer and railway porter, Bruce Samuels casually claimed he ran to the top of Mount Cooroora in under an hour. His claim was met with jeers and scepticism, and hotel patrons were quick to raise the challenge of doing it again to an audience. The run was scheduled for March 22, 1958 and eager and confident punters placed their bets on a failed attempt. Astonished locals saw Samuels return in just

forty minutes to collect his hundred pound wager. His feat saw him become the town hero, and he was bestowed with the nicknamed ‘Hilary’ Samuels, his achievement recorded on the wall of the hotel bar. In 1959, this attracted the attention of 21 year hotel punter Barry Webb from Brisbane who declared that he could beat Samuel’s time, and a race was set for the following Saturday. Its small town location required little publicity to attract a sizeable crowd of spectators keen to compare the outcome. With a time of thirty-five minutes, Webb became the recipient of about 25 shillings from the passing around of the hat. A gracious Samuels was quick to congratulate Webb, but determined to reclaim
his title. He began training for a re-match scheduled for June 27 1959, and the rest as they say, is history. The legendary Pomona King of the Mountain race was born. Despite a twenty year hiatus until its resurrection by the Cooroy-Pomona Lions Club in 1979, the community-orientated King of the Mountain Festival continues to celebrate the great race and the achievements of its competitors. While the track is somewhat improved from the days of old, its treacherous climb and descent continues to attract athletes from around the world.

COOROY RAG
Cooroy hosts annual dinner with the Mayor FOR many years, Cooroy Chamber of Commerce has hosted the annual Dinner with the Mayor event. The event has become a highlight of Cooroy calendar and is informative as well as being a great social night. The tradition continues this year with Mayor Tony Wellington on Tuesday 23 August at the Cooroy RSL. “Dinner with the Mayor is a great tradition that started over a decade ago and has continued with all the Mayors since. Tony Wellington will be our fourth mayor to join the tradition. It is quite a social night and everyone always enjoys themselves plus it is an enjoyable way to hear the latest news about the region,” said
Cooroy Chamber of Commerce President, Danielle Taylor. Dinner with the Mayor commences at 5.45pm for a 6.00pm start and is held in a private dining room. It is a great social event and during the evening Mayor Tony Wellington will address the attendees and give an update on the Noosa region. Tickets include a delicious three course meal at only $40 for members of the Cooroy Chamber and $45 for nonmembers. This is an event not to miss, particularly when you read the menu! The menu is a three course feast with garlic pizza bread to start followed by main meals being either a 300-gram TBone with roasted pump-
kin puree, horse radish cream, and rocket or Prosciutto wrapped chicken supreme with crispy risotto cakes and lemon cream. The decadent desserts are bread and butter pudding with vanilla ice cream or dark chocolate brownies with double cream and berries. Main and dessert are served on an alternate drop basis. Dinner with the Mayor is always popular so make sure you book early to secure your spot. Bookings and payments can be made securely online with credit card at www.trybooking.com/ 211557 or via email at bookings@cooroy.com.au. But be quick as there are only limited spaces available!
Mayor Tony Wellington
Noosa to lead electric vehicle charge MAYOR Tony Wellington says Council is considering installing roadside public charging stations as Noosa gears up for the global shift to electric vehicles. “Electric buses will hit our streets in the new year, in a joint pilot trial with Translink. But now we’re also starting to think about where we might install pub-
lic charging stations for private vehicles,” Cr Wellington said. “There is no doubt a strong global trend towards electric vehicles, which is set to accelerate. As this technology improves and becomes more affordable Noosa can either jump on board or else get left behind.”
Quebec already has more than 1,000 public chargers available to its citizens. India has announced an aim to be 100% electric in all its vehicles by 2030. “Noosa has a reputation for being at the forefront of environmental activities and I think there’s a real opportunity to encourage
greater take-up and use of electric vehicles locally,” the Mayor said. “I am very pleased to see that some of our local tourism operators are already onto this trend. RACV Noosa has been trialling two electric Nissan Leaf cars that they make available to their guests for just $30 a day.”
RACV Noosa Resort’s Danny Cannon said RACV is committed to sustainability at its resort properties, including the use of sustainable transport. Noosa Council is working closely with Beyond Zero Emissions to audit all of its operations and thus set a zero emissions target.

news Public meeting to look at options for community hall
COOROY RAG A PUBLIC meeting will be held on July 22 at 6pm at the Cooroy Library to discuss the Cooroy Community Hall. The meeting is to look at options of moving forward. If you are keen to have a community hall for the Cooroy community your attendance is needed. Facts: Cooroy Memorial Community Hall was closed in November 2015. At a community meeting in February 2016 the Cooroy Community Memorial Hall Action Group (CCMHAG) was formed with a group of 7 elected to work towards getting the hall opened. The Cooroy RSL are still the trustee of the hall. A building report and a structural engineers report have been done. The CCMHAG has had meetings with council staff and RSL management and
board on how to progress. There is a complicated land issue that is still being negotiated between RSL, State Government Department of Natural Resources & Mines and Noosa Council. Council staff advised the CCMHAG to consider taking on a short term sublease from RSL of the hall. The CCMHAG preferred option is for the Noosa Council to take on the Trust of hall and have written to the Noosa Mayor and all councillors on this issue. Reply from Council is that Noosa Council will not consider taking on Trust of Hall until land issue is sorted. CCMHAG has contacted Department of Natural Resources & Mines (DNRM) on this issue and DNRM’s preferred option is for the Trust of hall to go to Noosa council and

only if Noosa council do not take it then they will consider it going to an incorporated body. The CCMHAG have quotes to get the minimum repairs done for the hall to be opened. They have also
got estimated quotes for building insurance, public liability and directors insurance and have started on a business plan for the future of the hall. Cooroy RSL have handed a terms of lease
document to CCMFAG that is still to be negotiated. The CCMHAG has increased the working group to 9 by electing two members with relevant skills to work on the group’s objectives.

Celebrations will continue afterwards and into the evening with live music and free entertainment. As part of its com-
mitment to the race it has sponsored since 2010, Bendigo Bank manager Geoff Edwards said it’s always a special time of year and is a festival engrained in Noosa’s culture. “We love it and there’s nothing else like it on the coast. We’re proud to be here again and it’s precisely what we’re about - supporting the community that supports us. Our Pomona agency has just celebrated its first birthday, is growing strongly and has committed $6,000 to the staging of the event again in 2016,” Geoff shared. Increasing patronage and corporate participation and sponsorship of the community-focused event has seen its inclusions occur over multiple days to accommodate its broad appeal.

COOROY RAG
100 days of the new Council IT’S common to mark the first 100 days of a new government to review what sort of start has been made and whether performance has been up to expectations. Well, 14 July – Bastille Day - marks the first 100 days since the new Noosa Council was sworn in and I thought a report for readers of the Cooroy Rag would be in order. The first thing to say is that as councillors, a group of people with quite different skills and experience, we are working together well as a group, and at the same time have a willingness to offer different points of view and debate issues. This give and take approach augurs well for scrutiny and balance in decision-making. There are no wallflowers in the council room nor people who find it hard to keep their ego in check. The first two months of activity – as well as the usual meetings and community contact - comprised 70 hours of briefings by Council staff. It was a thorough induction orchestrated by CEO
Brett de Chastel who (now I’ve mentioned Bastille Day) like his namesake Louis Chastel, a French general in the Napoleonic War, left no stone unturned in ensuring we were capable of doing our job. There were many presentations on all significant council works, finance, infrastructure, community services, economy, environment, local laws and waste disposal. All this and more was covered – along with site visits to add to our understanding. This orientation program was also a great opportunity for us councillors to ask some tough questions. I was particularly pleased that the incumbent councillors and the mayor attended with us three new councillors. We really got to know each other quickly and in a collegial atmosphere that prepared us for working together – which we’ll be doing for the next four years. At the same time, we were thrown in the deep end with the first cycle of monthly council meetings along with rounds of Budget workshops. I was particularly im-
pressed by the rigour of the budgeting process and happy that the budget allocations for the Noosa hinterland were well balanced with the proposed spending in coastal areas. In addition to what council lined up for us, I’ve been pursuing my own program, reaching out to community groups across the shire. In the first three months, I accepted invitations to attend 45 community events. During my election campaign I said I was committed to being a voice for the hinterland and, to honour that, I met very early with representatives of the Cooroy Area Residents Association, Noosa and District Landcare, the Heart of Pomona Committee and the Kin Kin Community Group. I’ve also attended a Cooroy Chamber of Commerce networking night, the opening of a ceramic artworks exhibition at the Cooroy Butter Factory, the Pomona Bendigo Bank’s first birthday, not to mention shopping sprees at the Pomona and Kin Kin markets. Currently on the council’s radar for Cooroy are traf-

fic and pedestrian issues, a range of development applications and appeals, and the issue of revitalising the Cooroy Memorial Hall. It will be no surprise to hinterland residents that council traffic modelling has indicated that the Elm Street - Myall Street intersection is way over capacity during peak hours and in need of upgrading to improve traffic flow and safety. After representations by council that a roundabout will be both feasible and effective, the State Department of Transport and Main Roads has said it will undertake its own traffic investigations. Now on the state government’s agenda, council’s job is to keep it there until it is finalised. Regarding its appeal, the Cooroy broiler farm has asked for mediation which Noosa Council has agreed to and is currently engaging expert advice on noise, odour and traffic. A mediation session was held between Noosa Council and the Myall Street - Ferrells Road petrol station applicant but the appeal goes on. Also me-
diation was held with the Lake McDonald Tomato Farm applicant, but no agreement was reached so negotiations continue there also. A couple of new development applications have been lodged and are likely to come before Council after staff assessments are completed. One is an application for a highway service centre at Nandroya Estate and the other a development on the old Wimmers site and adjacent Emerald Street sites. Meanwhile, flood mitigation work at Ashgrove Drive is currently underway in association with the Bruce Highway upgrade.
Kin Kin applaud Noosa Council THE Kin Kin Community are excited as they are no longer behind the times - Dr Pages Road is sealed and they finally have mobile service. The Kin Kin Community Group worked with Noosa council to make a submission under a Federal funding scheme to resolve the black spot through the town and were successful! As of 30th June Kin Kin township have mobile reception and the locals are celebrating! This will enable local businesses and Entrepreneurs to take their business to the next level and bring more tourists to the area. With the opening of the newly sealed Dr Pages
Road this means more tourists can get to Kin Kin safely. It’s now only 12 minutes for Boreen Point & Cootharaba residents to get to Kin Kin State School. Cyclists are already using this great circuit down the Kin Kin Range, stopping at the Kin Kin General store for an organic coffee and then back round to Dr Pages Road along McKinnon Drive to Tewantin and Noosa. The Good Shepherd Lutheran bus is also coming into Kin Kin now that Dr Pages Road is sealed and residents are hoping that Translink will also send a
bus through to Kin Kin on weekends and school holidays opening up opportunities for the many teenagers who seek jobs in Noosa & Tewantin. The Noosa Country Drive has bought more tourists into the area visit-

Missing in action My humble apologies dear readers for last issue’s missing poem, I had the misfortune of falling down one painful day at home. Hitting my head on the solid concrete at the foot of the stair, Involving ambulance, hospital, and tender loving care. My battered face was a multi-coloured sight, Causing passing children, a justifiable scary fright. However all seems better now, although I’m still a little sore, And I do not resemble the Phantom of the Hospital any more. But how do I thank these wonderful friends who made my life more comfortable, Almost, I may boldly say, at times, more enjoyably huggable. The doctor, the visitors, the caring Eden staff, My bedmates, Bob and Paddy, with whom I shared many a laugh. The cheerful card from Live Life Pharmacy, the wonderful caring Bill, The girls from the Rag, all the visitors who helped me over the hill. For all of you I send my sincere thanks, and my heartfelt gratitude. If ever we are damned, it will not be because we loved too much, but because we loved too little. Jim Dunstan

She ignores the footpath on the overpass bridge. She wears black and never a high-vis vest. PLUS Look out for blokes walking dogs. They also persist in wearing black and never a high-vis vest. PLUS Look out for cyclists wearing black and never a high-vis vest. These people need to take their safety seriously as it is not all the motorists responsibility. If anything happens the driver gets the blame. Would it be worthwhile for the police to give these people a gentle reminder to use their common sense and so avert a fatality. PS. We are made to wear helmets and seat belts. I think bike riders and walkers should have to wear a high-vis vest.

MANY of you may have already been to your accountant and are in the throes of completing your tax return for another year. Whether this has happened or if it’s still on your ‘to do’ list, this new financial year will be a big one in terms of the national and global financial position. Life is busier for everyone now than it’s ever been and weeks can soon become months, so why not take a little time now to reflect on the year that was and what could be the challenges of this new financial year? Put plans in place now before having the feeling that your budget will be stretched to breaking point. Perhaps it’s time to make that new financial year resolution? But how can we best achieve that and what steps can we take? Firstly, I believe a realistic budget is the foundation block required - a budget that identifies all your expenses, allows for you, your family or your business to have those savings for a rainy day or that unexpected bill and savings for those times you want to do something as a treat. For a lot of Australians, the home mortgage is the major household expense and yet sometimes that is an area that is not reviewed on a regular basis or included in a plan for the year. Why not take this time to do a health check on your mortgage? Why not contact your bank and ask for some time to sit down and review your options? Options such as mortgage offset accounts, changing to a different type of loan, paying extra into your home loan or even just simply changing the way you pay your loan may see a saving to your home loan. So put that new financial year resolution together, call us at Marcoola Community Bank branch and ask for advice and input so that this financial year will indeed be a happy one. If you would like to know more about any of these services, please feel free to contact me on 5448 8582 or on email at kerryn.vincart@bendigoadelaide.com.au.

French & Vintage comes to Cooroy, but for a limited time only WHEN some people think of ‘antiques’ they imagine Stately Homes full of priceless treasures. Some think of their gran’s house, full of old-fashioned knick-knacks. But today the antiques industry is surprisingly fashiondriven, and buyers are younger than you might expect. “Interior design has clearly defined some eras,” says Debra Palmen of Cooroy’s new pop-up shop, French & Vintage. “But today there is no set ‘look’.” “Today’s buyers have a more international approach, selecting pieces from a range of eras and countries so their homes are interesting and unique”, Debra tells us. “Our buyers are often aged between their 20s and 40s. They want value for money, something that doesn’t have built-in obsolescence. They want interesting things that everyone else doesn’t have. And they want style.” So the challenge for antiques dealers is to keep up with the demands of modern buyers. It’s to find those unusual, beautiful and stylish pieces not readily found in Australia that Debra and her husband Doug travel to France every year. “It’s great to have a job that requires you to go shopping in Paris”, laughs Debra, “but you have to really hunt to find those gems.” French & Vintage, directly opposite the IGA Supermarket, will now stay open until the start of August. Why not visit while you can, to find something stylish, unique and beautiful for your own home?

COOROY RAG
The Will Curse A JUDGE in the WA Supreme Court (Master Sanderson in Rogers v Rogers Young [2016] WASC 208) said that “socalled homemade wills” are a “curse”. He stated that ‘will kit’ wills “are not much better”. In that case the deceased intended to distribute her entire estate to her only child once that child attained the age of 25. The drafting of the will was however ”difficult” and the parties have been put to the trouble and expense of coming to the court seeking directions as to its proper interpretation. If the will had been drafted by a competent legal practitioner, this problem would not have arisen and the parties would have been spared a great deal of trouble and expense.” The result was that the child inherited all of the estate on her 18th birthday. The death of a loved one is stressful for surviving family and friends. As the above case demonstrates, having up to date estate planning, including a valid Will in place, is one way to minimise stress to your loved ones at an already stressful time. If you have an estate plan in place, there is very little
that needs to be completed, from a legal point of view, urgently. The only urgent legal things are: • Knowing who is executor is, so that decisions about burial and cremation can be made; and • Knowing if your Will specifies you want to be cremated (as if know to your Executor, this must be followed). Practically, if you don’t have funeral insurance or haven’t prepaid for a funeral, then the Executor is usually able to access funds to pay the reasonable funeral expenses from your bank account. Your Executor should also secure your estate assets. Things such as jewellery, which may be subject to a specific gift, can disappear or get ‘lost’, so the Executor needs to make sure that your estate assets are physically secure. Nothing else is urgent. A decision about if your Executor needs a Grant of Probate to administer your estate can be made later especially as no administration should take place in the first month after you have passed away. It surprises many people and unlike on TV, there is no official ‘reading of the
will’. Rather certain people, including beneficiaries in your current and any previous Will, are entitled to a copy of your Will. They can then read this in their own time. (We usually have a meeting with your Executor(s) about a month after your passing, and after the death certificate issues, to discuss the Executors obligations and likely steps that will be needed to administer your estate. While your Will should reflect your wishes, a limited group of people can ‘challenge’ your Will. For example if you have specifically excluded someone from your Will (e.g. a child) or think that a beneficiary will want more than you want to give them, a ‘challenge’ may occur. While you can’t prevent a ‘challenge’ being made, you can (and should) consider what options you have during your life time to mitigate the impact of a ‘challenge’. This is a complicated area of law but along with the creation of Testamentary Trusts, is an emerging area of succession law. Make it easier on your loved ones by ensuring your estate plan is current - as it will be one less thing your loved ones need to worry about in an already
challenging time. For more information call the team at SPM Law or attend the Free Information Session on Wills & Estate Planning being held
Wednesday 24 August 10am at Cooroy RSL. Bookings essential. To RSVP contact sroughley@spmlaw.com.au or phone 5440 4800.

ANNIE Wallis has a passion for art, particularly murals, and has made her mark at local coffee shop “French & Gorgeous (formerly Twig & Grace). “I was talking to Helen, the owner, about the décor that she was in the process of
improving,” said Annie. “She said she wanted to have something in the corner by the window that would bring the outside in and I suggested a mural of wisteria would be perfect and offered to do it for her. She loved the idea and was thrilled by the result,” she said. “I’d really love to do a little girl’s room and have some great ideas, but I’m always happy to work with clients and their ideas. If your home or business needs a lift, consider talking to Annie about mural ideas that can add a whole new dimension to a boring space or call into French & Gorgeous and check out her beautiful work.

Just round the Corner JARRAH STREET Taking on the Kokoda Challenge
Some members of the local teams taking on the GC Kokoda Challenge
AFTER months of training and trekking through forests and mountains, four teams from Cooroy will take on the gruelling 96km Gold Coast Kokoda Challenge. The teams are - Anytime Alliance (Michelle Thiele, Mitch Allen, Courtney Jane, Jessica Harm); Awesome Foursome (Narelle Ball, Jason Ball, Fiona O’Farrell, Aidan Fleming); Better Than a Threesome (Janie Hartman, Nathan Partridge, Matthew Bacon, Jai Warren); R We There Yet (Donna Johnson, Erin Yarwood, Jade Faggotter, Michael Vidulich). All teams will be tested physically and mentally as the rugged course has to be completed in 36 hours or under, leaving no time for sleep. Each team has a support crew who will provide a quick, warm, much-needed feed at four stations. The course is the training ground used before sending our brave soldiers over to Kokoda, hence the name, so there will also be much reflection on this when moments are hitting a low point throughout the event. Teams have raised a total of $6400 which goes to the Kokoda Youth Foundation, helping troubled youth find their purpose.
The Probus Club of Cooroy THE Probus Club of Cooroy was delighted to have a visitor this month - the outgoing President of the Cooroy Rotary Club. Linda Morell spoke to us about the wonderful work Rotary does in our local area, within Australia and internationally. Their projects concentrate on bringing communities together to improve the quality of life for so many. As each Probus Club is sponsored by their local Rotary Club, Linda was encouraging stronger links between the two Cooroy Clubs. On this we all agreed. Our Probus members are mainly retired/semi retired professional and business people (hence Pro-bus) who have served their communities for many years. Many of our members are still volunteering in their spare time. As communications between the two groups improve, I feel sure some of our younger members will be interested becoming involved in Rotary activities. Rotary meetings are held each Monday evening in the CWA hall while Probus meet on the first Monday of each month at the Anglican Church in Miva Street. Visitors are always welcome. For more information ring John Pluck on 5485 0415.

A Way with Words PEOPLE will sometimes ask me “What do I talk about at Toastmasters?” Well, like most Toastmasters, I started out talking about me - where I came from and where I have been. Then I moved on to delivering speeches about things I am passionate about. I have spoken about the importance of being Green, the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions and to protect our natural environment; the power of economic activism and the choices that we all make in our daily lives. On a lighter note, another thing I am passionate about is the use of picturesque speech and having some fun with the use of language. There are possibly a million words in the English language, but almost the entire vocabulary of many people these days seems to consist of a few much overused expressions such as LIKE, ABSOLUTELY, WHATEVER AND OH MY GOD. When nominated to select a Word of the Night I have taken the opportunity to introduce a couple of my favourites: BAMBOOZLE AND UBIQUITOUS. I have talked about reviving the usage of colourful idioms such as UP AND DOWN LIKE A WHOE’S DRAWERS, MAD AS A CUT SNAKE, MORE FRONT THAN MYER AND
A WIGWAM FOR A GOOSE’S BRIDLE. We can have so much fun with words. Many comedians use Spoonerisms (slips of the tongue) to make people laugh. (The term Spoonerism comes from English clergyman and educator William Spooner, born in 1844, who was notorious for his tips of the slung.) We can have fun using Spoonerisms, eg transposing the first letters of people’s names. A Spoonerism version of the fairy tale Cinderella has been recorded by Ronnie Barker and a less risqué version by Archie Campbell. I presented the Ponda Rhescott version of Cinderella (Rindercella) at our last demonstration meeting. Toastmasters meets the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month at 6pm at the Cooroy Library. We will be holding another demonstration meeting next month - Monday 15th August 2016. Guest speaker for the evening is award winning speaker and comedian Ted Gibbs. All welcome - this is a great opportunity to come along and observe what happens at a Toastmasters meeting. Rhonda Prescott, President Cooroy Toastmasters

pomona Poker Run raises money for Cooroy-Pomona Lions Club charities
COOROY RAG By Jackie Bazzo Sunday 3 July saw motorcycles enthusiasts from all over South East Queensland participate in the 10th annual King of the Mountain Festival Poker Run. Proudly supported by the Gympie Historical Motorcycle Club, almost three hundred riders enjoyed a scenic trip through the Noosa Hinterland, enjoying a friendly game of poker along the way by collecting cards from designated stops. Event organiser, Stephen Stewart said riders en-
joyed the beautiful weather and the company of other motorcycle enthusiasts in the charity event. ‘The riders really appreciated the route and made short work of the delicious home-baked morning tea provided by Lions volunteers,’ Mr Stewart said. With the ride culminating at the Kin Kin Country Life Hotel, the holder of a straight flush was declared the winner of the poker game. As part of the King of the Mountain Festival, the Poker Run is a major fundraiser for the CooroyPomona Lions Club and all entry fees go towards helping the not-for-profit or-
ganisation support a wide range of local charities and school programs. This year marks the 38th anniversary of the famously challenging King of the Mountain Race and Cooroy-Pomona Bendigo Bank manager Geoff Edwards is proud to sponsor the international event. ‘Our new Pomona agency has been well received and supported by the local community and we are very pleased to be able to invest in such an iconic community event,’ Mr Edwards said. On Sunday July 24 locals and visitors to the region can again look forward to
a huge variety of attractions and free entertainment as part of the community orientated event including a skate comp, antiques fair, amusement rides, heritage markets and much more. Festivities will begin early with the arrival of many different car clubs showing off their classic vehicles in the lead up to the big race at 2.30pm. Celebrations will continue afterwards and into the evening with live music and free entertainment. For more information on the King of the Mountain festival visit www.kingof themountain.com.au for more details.

Is your health & fitness picture Complete? Are you one of the many people who are trying to lose a few kilos or even just trying to get fit and tone up? Have you been slogging away but not really seeing results? There are many reasons why this might be the case. Good nutrition and exercise are incredibly important to a healthy life. For many, however nutrition and exercise don’t work for creating successful, long-term weight loss. Many imbalances within your body can cause weight gain and retention and exercise isn’t the only answer for every imbalance. A certain process, hormone or element important to your body’s function may not be working properly, thus causing weight gain or preventing weight loss. The reason diet and exercise often don’t always work as well as they could do for weight loss is because, while they do promote total body health, they are typically not targeted enough to address the specific imbalances keeping you fat. To lose weight, you must eat fewer calories than your body burns. However, eating too few calories can cause your body harm; this is known as very-low-calorie diets, which almost always result in gaining lost weight back. Severely restricting your caloric intake can cause side effects such as hair loss due to a lack of essential nutrients; amenorrhea, or the absence of menstrual periods; muscle cramps; and fatigue. Crash diets can also
cause headaches, irritation and dizziness. Eating too few calories can also cause your body to go into starvation mode, in which your body is not getting enough calories and begins to store any foods you are currently eating into your fat reserves for later use. Your body believes this is the last food it’s going to get for a while and stores it for a time when it’s needed. Exercising too much may make you fatigued and unable to make it through the day. And not exercising enough or doing the wrong type of exercise won’t help you get results and may give you injuries. No matter how much you diet and exercise, it may be nearly impossible to lose weight if you have certain imbalances including insomnia, hormonal issues, poor digestion, Candida, stress, bacteria, viral infections, hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, heavy metal toxicity and so many more. So of course, because we are all different and have our own individual needs it can seem overwhelming but the easiest answer is to get help! Unique to Cooroy ‘Make a Difference Health & Fitness’ combine the professional services of Naturopath, Maria Sturre and Fitness Trainer, Lee Smith to tailor a plan to suit you so you will start seeing results! Visit www.madhf.com.au or give them a call on 5442 6179 to have a no obligation chat about how they can help you with your health & fitness goals.

PreMenstrual Syndrome (PMS) affects around 75% of women with a range of symptoms including: mood swings, depression, acne, fatigue, weight gain and cravings. Many also suffer from period pain leading to significant time off school or work, putting many women at a disadvantage to their peers. Nutritionist and Naturopath, Jodie Persovic, says the cause of PMS and period pain is not always clear, but is often related to hormone levels. For example, excessive oestrogen exposure is thought to be associated with period pain, as oestrogen stimulates excessive production of prostaglandins which constrict vessels and contract muscles causing cramping and pain. Decreased serotonin levels a week before the period may contribute to the depression component of PMS. As with many aliments diet can be a factor. Jodie explains that excessive carbs (especially sugar) and unhealthy fats promote inflammation that can make the condition worse. While some foods have a positive effect on oestrogen metabolism. These include: broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, brussel sprouts, grapefruit, apples and oranges. The active ingredients, Calcium-DGlucarate and Indole-3-Carbinol can be taken
as a supplement if a therapeutic dose is required. Jodie also says “5-HTP and SAMe are available in supplement form and can help manage the mood swings, depression or insomnia by improving Serotonin and Dopamine balance. There are also herbal remedies available such as Chaste Tree which has traditionally been used to treat a range of female health conditions. Corydalis, Cramp Bark and Shatavari are useful for reducing cramping pains and Dong Quai is a valued uterine tonic herb”. The first step in finding relief from menstrual cycle symptoms is to consult a GP for diagnosis and to check for the presence of any serious diseases. A Natural Health Practitioner may then be able to help optimise your diet and offer remedies specific to your symptoms. Note: those on prescription medications should consult with a qualified natural health practitioner before taking any of the remedies mentioned in this article. Jodie Persovic is the Principal Dietitian and founder of Nutrition Means. She is also a Naturopath and specialises in improving a wide range of health conditions through nutrition and natural health therapies.

COOROY RAG The garden of Eden - totally organic
Bed 4; Bath 2; Car 4; Pool; 14.3 acres Offers over $599,000. It’s not often we’re lost for words here at Hargrave Real Estate, but this amazing 14.3 acre property at Cootharaba had us dumbstruck with awe! Just minutes from the lake at Boreen Point, 10 minutes from Noosa River, and half an hour from the beach, this really is the Garden of Eden! Totally organic, this remarkable country property has a bit of everything, making it suitable for any rural pursuit. What you get here is 5.79Ha of diverse, usable, income-producing land, comprising a gently sloping north west-facing orchard; a flat, north-facing income-producing orchard; a regenerating Eucalypt rainforest, and wonderful wetlands to support the native birdlife. The lay of the land is such that you could easily run horses and cattle here, whilst also growing a vast array of fresh fruit and vegetables for the table, or as a business. Indeed, this property was producing $600-$800 of organic ground grown rocket at $12-$15 a kilo. The beauty of this property is that the many fruit trees are already established and producing. The list of varieties is long and includes Thai red papaya, seedless red papaya, fig, lychee, dragon fruit, japoticaba, chocolate pudding, star fruit, guava, olives, custard apple, and several varieties each of avocado, mango, mandarin, orange, lime and lemon. And then there’s the very productive banana

plantation, forming a majestic avenue of trees and fruit. Irrigating your fine collection of trees will never be a problem, with a permanent dam and bore, with further suitable spots for two more dams. If you’ve got your breath back from that lot, wait until you see the house! Approached by two gravel driveway entrances, home is a classic 1950s Queenslander. Peaceful and private, the property retains many original features, including high ceilings, polished hardwood timber floors throughout (Black Bean), original windows, and leadlight in the front door, all adding charm and character. There are four spacious bedrooms - three with built-ins - and two bathrooms. The main bedroom features a lovely ensuite with spa bath and a double shower. You’ll never be short of space in the kitchen, thanks to a huge walk-in pantry, and you’ll love the separate formal dining room, and spacious entertaining deck next to the sparkling swimming pool. Yes, this property may have olde worlde charm, but it also has all the mod cons, including ceiling fans and screens throughout, and is NBN ready. You need sheds? You’ve got them! There’s a 6m x 6m Colorbond shed by the house, plus another 9m x 6m Colorbond shed with a kitchen sink and separate bathroom. Council approved, this would make a great art studio, workshop or teenage retreat/granny flat. The property benefits from mains power plus a 3.5kw solar power system, feeding back to the grid. The water tanks hold 10,000 gallons, and the bore pumps 5,000 gallons an hour via a submersible pump. Achieving organic certification would be possible here, as the property has been spray-free for 15 years. With its wonderful undulating scrub, great soil and pockets of natural refuge for birds and wildlife, this is a true Garden of Eden, a rural retreat filled with birdsong. For more details, contact Phil Hargrave on 0417 750 507 or Sam Hargrave on 0425 777 121.
1910 Cooroy original Queenslander with spectacular views
THIS much loved three bedroom colonial timber home is one of Cooroy’s first quarter acre dwellings, built in 1910. It’s sought after location and character style in Miva Street, reflects in the fact that both sales for this original quality property have been done the old fashioned way, “with a handshake” – and both owners have been long term residents. Originally owned by the local Fire Sergeant – who was also born in the house and raised his own family there, it was then handed on to the new young Police Constable seeking a home in town in which to raise his family. The original features including 12 foot ceilings, for the most part, have been maintained with wide timber floorboards, tongue and groove walls and timber fretwork above the doorways. The bathroom and large open plan kitchen both still have the original ceiling roses in place. Modern restoration has seen the entire back of
the home opened up with a large kitchen lounge area. Large glass sliding doors lead out to an expansive undercover 9 foot deck spanning the complete width of the home. From here you can enjoy views right across town with the backdrop of Mt Cooroora, home of the famous “King Of The Mountain” race, In the distance. The 1012m2 block has dual street access with room for a garage or granny flat if needed. All bedrooms are double size and the sunny front porch was enclosed many years ago to make a warm and inviting home office. This could become a forth bedroom if required. Located in the bustling hinterland community of Cooroy, you have access to all your services while being close to tourist centre of Noosa and the Sunshine Coast’s beaches.

3 bed 1 bath 11 car 132 acres Offers over $1,295,000 How rare is this property? Very! As it hasn’t been offered to the market since 1970 and, once you inspect, you’ll understand why! Maybe it’s the 132.8 acres of prime land; maybe it’s those mind-blowing views that stretch from Mt Cooroora to the Mary Valley and beyond, or maybe it’s the thought of profiting from possible future subdivisions. Or perhaps it’s the thought of having your own peaceful, private sanctuary, still within easy reach of shops, schools, restaurants and the coast. This magnificent property is truly a oneoff, and offers many possibilities for the lucky buyer. North east-facing, and 600ft above sea level, enjoy your own private 4WD driving tracks, hiking and riding paths, with direct access into the National Park. There are five cleared paddocks for cattle or horses, with steel post / timber rail yards; established fruit trees, including nectarine, Bowen mango, grapes, bananas plus a passionfruit vine, and no shortage of water with 14 dams! There is also an excellent investment here, with $30,000 to $40,000 of future millable timber and power poles onsite. Sounding pretty good so far? There’s more! You have the choice of living in the origi-
nal homestead - an immaculate 3-bedroom cottage - or choosing one of the many wonderful home sites, all delivering those breathtaking views. The current owners have loved living in the cottage for the last 46 years, but perhaps you’ll rent that out or use it for guests, teenagers or extended family. The flat land is suitable for RVs, or even bush cabins or cottages for tourism (subject to approval) so there are plenty of money-making options here. Rounding off the list of inclusions are two large sheds, housing up to 11 vehicles and/ or a mix of farm machinery and tractors. With a road frontage of more than 1.5km on Pomona Connection road, and 1.3km of boundary fence with the National Park and the football ground, you can be assured of complete peace and privacy. Yet you are just 5 minutes from the Bruce Highway for easy access north and south. And remember, with a change to the current Noosa Council zoning and usage plan, future subdivision possibilities could be a substantial earner. All of this, just 25 minutes from Noosa, Gympie, Nambour, the Mary Valley and the beach. Chances are the next owner of this amazing property won’t want to leave for 46 years either! Contact Phil or Sam Hargrave, Hargrave Real Estate on 0417 750 507 or 0425 777 121.

UNDER clear blue winter skies over 90 of our Noosa Touch juniors competed in the Junior State Cup held in Hervey Bay. With 213 teams and 3500 participants the annual event continues to be the pinnacle carnival on our junior calendar. Noosa supplied eight teams in girls and boys divisions from U10 through to U16. Facing a very difficult draw the U10 Boys got off to a slow start on Day 1. With many of them experiencing this level of competition for the very first time they held their heads high and showed their true spirit and determination for the remainder of the carnival. Their final three games saw every player lifting in each game and it showed on the paddock. They played a draw, had a spectacular win over the highly regarded Rockhampton Redbacks and a played out a close loss to Bundaberg. The U10 Girls started well with three wins from three starts knocking over the much fancied Toowoomba and Palm Beach teams and conceding just a single touchdown. Day 2 provided a mixed bag with a win against Brisbane, a narrow loss to Gold Coast and a loss to Rockhampton. The girls learned quickly to change defensive styles in this one but the experienced Rocky team were able to adjust and found ways to score. A final win, where defence was again a feature, on Day 3 saw them finish 3rd in their pool. The girls learnt new skills, improved fitness and made new friends but most importantly had a lot of fun. Teamwork was the highlight of the triumphant performance that the U12 Boys produced over the entire three days. This team managed to take down some top past performers in Brisbane, Palm Beach and Rockhampton,
Ethan Pohlner on the run for the U12 Boys Giverny Robinson in action for the U16 Girls as they made their march through the rounds even managing to keep the opposition scoreless in some matches. The boys only had a single loss coming at the hands of Redlands in a 1-0 cliff hanger. On the back of these amazing results the boys made their way through to the quarter finals where they went down to eventual tournament champions Gold Coast. Both their outstanding attacking and defensive efforts throughout the games were impressive and their willingness to work together as a team and support each other in every game enabled such a strong result. This great bunch of kids should be extremely proud of their effort! Levi Herriman was awarded the Players’ Player honours. The U12 boys and support crew would like to thank Adam for being their nominated ref for the carnival. The U12 Girls had a tough run this year battling some top notch opponents but still managed to have a win and almost pulling off the upset of the carnival when they had a nail biting loss against heavy weights Toowoomba. The girls had fun on and off the field through the entire tourna-
ment playing with both spirit and passion. On the social front the U12 Girls took out the much coveted Fresh Talent Trophy with their amazing act in the lip sync battle at the teams BBQ. A job well done girls. The Players’ Player achievement went to Maddie Dwyer. An early start for the U14 Boys produced a pleasing display with several touchdowns but not quite enough to get the win. Battling the strength of Brisbane and Gold Coast made for a tough first day. Another early start saw a strong performance and fantastic defensive effort to enable the team to take two draws and in the final game on Day 2 a three touchdown blitz in the first eight minutes set the boys up for an entertaining win. The team, a mixture of some rep players but also boys playing in their first and second seasons of our sport and first Junior State Cup, exceeded expectations and grew with confidence as the carnival went on. The U14 Girls set off with a massive sense of excitement. With weeks of drilling by their two coaches to implement moves such Aussie and Rooster we
were incredibly proud of their effort, determination and commitment to each other. Their behaviour on the field was outstanding and a credit to the Noosa club as a whole. The age group was divided into three pools with some of the hardest teams being in Noosa’s pool of seven. Winning three or the 6 games the girls can come away from the competition with heads held high, feeling proud of what they have achieved. Well done girls! The U16 Boys were faced with the challenging task on Day 1 of playing both Ipswich and Redlands. The Noosa boys showed great spirit to be competitive in both games but were beaten by both teams. On Day 2 the boys, led admirably by their captains, showed their true character and battled hard to have two draws, one with Hervey Bay and the much more physical and experienced Labrador. On the final day’s play the U16’s crossed over into pool B and had to play the 2 nd place Bundaberg. Again the boys pulled together and stuck it to them going down in a close game! The team is eager
to get back together and work on their skills for next year. Massive congratulations to Hayden Britten on receiving the players’ player award. The Noosa 16’s Girls proved that they are definitely a team on the rise with 3 good wins and 3 close losses in a strong and closely fought Pool. Buoyed by wins against Gayndah, Bundaberg and Brisbane City, the girls showed that the style of Noosa touch is improving and becoming more competitive against the stronger touch football playing regions. The future of this team looks extremely bright with the addition of a number under 14’s players for the next competition. Players’ player went to Pip Dwyer and Holly Radge earning the Coaches Award. Thanks to all of our coaches and managers, without the time, effort and dedication of this group of volunteers this event would not be possible, they are truly appreciated. A huge debt of gratitude to our referees and a special mention to the volunteers who made the BBQ happen, it was a great way to spend our last evening.

Visiting Victorians take on Eumundi Swim Club Over the school holidays Eumundi Swim Coach, Adrian Williams, had organised a special training ‘Hell Week’ for his squad and they were joined by a squad from Cheltenham Swim Club in Melbourne. “Challenges and friendships are what swimming is all about and this week has exceeded expectations” he commented. The Victorians arrived on Sunday and were billeted out amongst the Eumundi Club’s families. By the end of Day 1, they had all swam 12.1km and bonded as a group, following some team building activities organised
by Cheltenham coach, Jerome Elliott, and the commonality of sharing the pain! Over the week, they completed nine gruelling sessions, including some gym work and a final Saturday morning session of 10km to clock up a total of 51km. Between swims, the group showed they could ‘play’ just as hard as they worked in the pool: stand up paddle boarding on the Noosa River, walking through Noosa National Park and swimming at Kondalilla Falls, Laser Tag, exploring the Eumundi Markets and Hastings Street formed part of their
hectic schedule. The Cheltenham swimmers, Abbey, Kira, Elise, Susumu and Aya, were an enormous credit to their club and will be welcome back at Eumundi anytime. Getting the squad swim fit was one of the objectives for the week, but one of the immeasurable benefits was the new friendships formed. Sore limbs and muscles will soon be forgotten, whilst the motivation to improve, the sense of achievement and ‘mateship’ will long be remembered. Well done and thanks to Jerome and
Adrian for their planning, support and expertise in providing an amazing opportunity for all of the swimmers to challenge
themselves. Congratulations to an amazing group whose dedication, teamwork and sense of fun was worth losing sleep for!
