Arson suspected in Salvation army blaze
A 14-year-old Cooroy girl has appeared before the Noosa Children’s Court on one count of arson after the Heritage listed building leased by the Cooroy Salvation Army Store was destroyed last week. The Fire Department and Police were called to the Garnet Street address shortly after 7.30pm on Thursday night (October 25) to find the building well ablaze. It took fire fighters about 40 minutes to extinguish the fire but significant damage had already occurred. The building was unoccupied at the time.

Not my fave
MOST Friday afternoons I head to the Cooroy pub to try my luck at the raffles. I never win. I have the same luck with the Melbourne Cup, keno, pokies and two-up on ANZAC Day. It doesn’t bother me because I figure the universe is saving up a really big win for me, which explains my bitter disappointment when I didn’t even get one number in the $70 million Oz lotto last Tuesday. But then again, no one won and depending on the outcome of the jackpotted $100 million dollar draw (that happens before this issue hits the street), the December issue of the Cooroy Rag could feature photos of us sipping cocktails in the Maldives. Obviously, there has been a lot of talk in the office about what we’d do if we won and it’s sad really how small our dreams are. Nice house and car, no work ever again and travel. With $100 million there’s not even that dilemma about how much you can afford to share with everyone else. You know what I mean … “If I give everyone in my family a million dollars each, will I still have enough to buy new BMWs for the kids for Christmas or will I run out of money and have to go back to work.” It’s heady (and dare I say, greedy) stuff. They say money can’t buy you happiness, but I’m prepared to take on those odds. So good luck with your punting people, I hope one of us wins big! And there you have it ... luck, lotto and living in hope ... Having to scrape together our shrappers to buy a lotto ticket ... not my fave!
