NOOSA residents have thrown their support behind the “sandcastle man” on Main Beach, after a Noosa Council officer ordered him to cease sandcastle sculpting on Monday. Arron McCormick, 38, has been expertly crafting his sandcastles for almost 13 years at Noosa’s Main Beach in front of Bistro C. Born in England and making the move to Australia in 1998, Mr McCormick said he was a little shocked when he was told to cease his sandcastle creations. Local children have also cried out for residents to support Mr McCormick because as one young girl put it the sandcastles were “very creative and give lots of kids creative ideas”. According to witnesses who contacted Noosa Today, Mr McCormick was getting started on another sandcastle when he was approached by Noosa Council’s local law officer Jonathon Marshall. Mr Marshall asked Mr McCormick if he would cease the construction of the sandcastle because it was unlawful without a permit. Continued page 4

Cheers to council By JONATHON HOWARD

Rickys River Bar and Restaurant general manager Rhys Kelly, says it’s business as usual for Quamby Place.

QUAMBY Place businesses breathed a sigh of relief this week after a liquor licensing debacle threatened outdoor dining. The issue first arose when a now closed restaurant had hosted a rouge concert in the Quamby Place parkland. The concert prompted a resident to complain to council which, in turn, sparked a Parks Management Plan Review. The review found several Quamby Place restaurants were operating on a state/council boundary and several outdoor dining areas crossed into state land. The liquor licences were therefore under the state law and were considered “unlawful”. A number of Quamby Place restaurants have been operating for almost 18 years without complaint. However, the one complaint that was lodged was not in relation to the dining, but the concert that took place. Noosa councillor Frank Wilkie moved the motion to ratify the boundary and reinstate the liquor license during Noosa Council’s ordinary meeting on 26 June “For Rickys River Bar and Restaurant staff

to not be in breach with the proposed restricted hours, they would be required to ask patrons to move two to three metres back, not behind an acoustic barrier which would have lessened sound, but an arbitrary line on the floor that technically represents “business” as opposed to “park” land,” he said. Mr Wilkie said the business owners had applied for and were granted what they thought were the lawful permits from the council. “The fact these permits were not (lawful) cannot be the fault of the businesses, so punitive action cannot be justified,” he said. Fearful of losing their outdoor dining liquor licensing, several Quamby Place businesses offered to close at 10pm on Sunday to Thursday nights. But instead, Noosa Council went one better and reinstated the original midnight trading seven days a week. Rickys River Bar and Restaurant general manager Rhys Kelly said he was thankful the debacle was resolved. “We’re very grateful to Noosa councillors and in particular Cr Frank Wilkie for passing this motion and allowing our businesses to continue unhindered,” he said. The motion was passed unanimously.

Pole position rankles By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA Avalon Cottages in Pomona boasts amazing mountain views and is an escape from the world’s hustle and bustle. But Avalon owner Linda McHenry says her business is under threat from an imposing 30-metre monopole to be installed by NBN Co. The proposed position of the monopole, which is designed to provide high-speed internet connection, is about 330 metres from 292 Pomona Kin Kin Road, where Avalon operates several cabin retreats. Despite Ms McHenry’s best efforts, she’s only been able to negotiate a decrease in the height of the pole to reduce the visual impact. Ms McHenry said she was happy to live without internet connectivity and felt the monopole was a massive imposition. “It’s going to ruin these spectacular views and make it difficult for me to offer my guests the best possible escape,” she said. She said she often receives guests from China and Japan seeking a true country escape, with nine mountain views. “The monopole will ruin the whole concept of escaping to the country to avoid things like monopoles,” she said. Ms McHenry was calling on NBN Co to reconsider and select

another site and she’s busy trying to convince Noosa councillors to back her. A spokesperson for NBN Co said they had made all the compromises possible. “We have agreed to reduce the pole’s height from 40 metres to 30, and we’ve also shifted the monopole site to be 330 metres from the Avalon business,” the spokesperson said. “But beyond that we are still planning to submit our development application with Noosa Council.” Ms McHenry said it was not about lowering the tower, it was about moving the tower off the proposed property. “To another site that will not directly impact on an important established local business and ruin our huge potential Chinese marketing of a perfect nine mountain views,” she said. “Noosa Avalon Farm Cottages are not tin-pot sheds, they are historical, and very beautifully designed for the environment. “Amenity and perfect views – that is what our business relies upon, and that is under threat and there are obviously alternatives.” Have your say: Should NBN Co monopoles be allowed to be built in sensitive locations?

NOOSA Today continues its commitment to the local community to provide the best possible publication in Noosa with a move to full gloss this week. The move follows Noosa Today’s recently improved local news content, focusing on local news, local issues and local people from a team of quality and dedicated reporters. Gloss will provide readers with a better looking and easier to read publication, but with the continued commitment to quality local news, while advertisers will have the added benefit of connecting with customers through gloss pages, enabling them to present their business and products in the best possible printed form. Noosa Today managing director Paul Thomas said the move signalled Star News Group’s commitment to strengthening Noosa’s local newspaper and providing the community with the best publication possible. “We are committed to producing the best publication for Noosa residents, using local sales staff, local journalists and local printers. “I hope our readers will continue to guide and shape our pages as we move forward with this positive change. “Real Estate Lifestyle will now become part of the total Noosa Today experience within the one book, making it easier for readers and advertisers to connect. “We’ve also taken the opportunity to refresh the papers look, taking advantage of the new gloss stock and stitched and trim format. “We have had great feedback since we took ownership of the paper from readers and advertisers about the improvements so far and the increased letters to the editor and community engagement is anecdotal evidence of this improved and relevant news focus”. Senior journalist Jonathon Howard said the editorial team had already hit the ground running. “Noosa residents are some of the most engaged and active campaigners I have ever worked with,” he said. “I hope they recognise this as a positive move forward and I welcome their feedback and continued support.” Long-time Noosa Today sales agent Karen Tatters, said her clients were excited about the change to gloss. “The change will give us a fresh and vibrant point of difference, the complete package, with local news, entertainment, dining, sport and real estate all in one,” she said. “Once again we’ve listened to our readers and advertisers and this move ensures Noosa Today is a premium local newspaper.”

NOOSA police are hoping drops of blood found around dozens of vandalised vehicles at Madill Motor Group and Cricks Noosa will lead to arrests. More than 30 new and used vehicles were damaged in what has been described as a “vandalism attack” at Donovan Drive on Tuesday, 8 July. Rear and side windows were smashed and rear vision mirrors appeared to be kicked off, with glass and plastic sprayed across the two auto yards. A team of police officers, including detectives from the criminal investigation branch, were first on the scene. Noosa police have not released any information in relation to the vandalism before print deadline. Adam Madill said he was devastated by the damage. “We’ve provided everything to police and we’re speaking with our insurer - that’s all I can say at this stage,” he said. Police have also appealed for any witnesses to come forward and assist them in their investigation. Contact Noosa police on (07) 5440 8111. Or Crime Stoppers QLD on 1800 333 000.

Noosa kids back sandman By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA Today asked several kids and adults whether they want Arron McCormick, known as Noosa’s “sandcastle man” to remain at Main Beach?

“I think the sandcastles are very creative and they give kids lots of good ideas to create their own sandcastles,” Hannah Thurn, 9, of Noosa

“It would be sad without the sandcastle man at Noosa. I think he’s very clever – he also puts candles inside the sandcastles which is nice,” Angus Thurn, 6, of Noosa.

His sandcastle creations add a lot of value to Noosa and everyone’s enjoyed his sandcastles for many years. It’s also great for social media (Facebook), because visitors take photos with the sandcastles and post them all over the world,” Rachel Lambert, 26, of Noosa.

Shifting sands on beach From page 1 Noosa Council has been cracking down on unlawful beach operators, including several beach vendors offering people massages. Mr McCormick said he was shocked by the request and at one stage a crowd gathered around him for support.

“We got into a bit of an argument with the council officer – who we know was just doing his job,” he said. “It just didn’t seem right – I mean I’ve been here almost 13 years bringing creativity to the beach front and promoting Noosa to visitors.” Mr McCormick said he was now going to apply for a

permit to continue his sandcastle creations. “My only hope is that Noosa Council agree to allow the permit – or I’m going to have to find another town,” he said. Have your say: Would you like to see the sandcastle man remain put? Email your thoughts to newsdesk@noosatoday.net.au

Cash to help revitalise Coolum

Massive coastal plan pushes ahead By JONATHON HOWARD JAPANESE development giant Sekisui House, has sought to highlight the economic benefits of coastal development as it moves forward with plans for buildings of up to 12 storeys along the Yaroomba coastline. The move has shocked environmental conservation groups who are rallying support to block the development, claiming the impact to threatened sea turtles would be devastating. Sekisui House will submit a development application next year to transform 20 hectares of prime beach front real estate into a luxury five-star hotel, retail space, residential and a public precinct. While only in the early stages, the investment is tipped to reach $1.1 billion and provide a significant boost to coastal employment. Sekisui House Australian senior development manager Evan Aldridge wrote to Noosa Today and said any development would be in line with Sekisui House’s founding principles of “community, sustainability, and harmony with the natural environment”. “A hotel, retail and residential development would open up the site to the public, create jobs, and have a positive flow-on effect to local business in Coolum and the broader Sunshine Coast,” he said. “We estimate that on the site, thousands of construction jobs, and more than 1000 permanent jobs would be created if this project goes ahead.”

SUNSHINE Coast Council has announced a swathe of funding to revitalise Coolum. It’s an injection of funds that Coolum residents had been waiting for and includes $650,000 for the Coolum Civic Centre, its car park and the adjacent Park Road upgrade.

Mr Aldridge said in order to be commercially viable, a five-star hotel may need to be up to 12 storeys in height. The height bothers many conservationists as the building’s lights could disrupt sea turtles attempting to nest along the beach. However, Mr Aldridge has countered concerns with the economic benefits, where studies have indicated the flow-on effect for local businesses could create up to 1500 additional jobs and $73 million tourism dollars every year, if a five-star hotel of that size were to go ahead. “An increase in building height for some of the site would double the amount of public green space that is currently in the plan,” he said. “Due to the setback of the site from the beachfront, a building of 12 storeys would have minimal visual impact and no shadow impact on the beach,” he said. “It is important to note that this is still all in the investigation stage. We have previously met with stakeholders and we will continue to liaise with them throughout the planning process.” Mr Aldridge said once the company had developed a firmer idea of what we would like to do on the site, it would need to go through the council’s planning and development assessment process. “Which will include an opportunity for the public to comment on the development,” he said.

The Coolum Sports Complex will receive $300,000 and $1.1 million will be spent on sealing Bli Bli’s Sports Road in the next financial year. These are just some of the Division 9 projects to be delivered by Sunshine Coast Council’s $509 million budget.

Also included: $90,000 Coolum Aquatic Centre for starting blocks and sealing; $25,000 - Coolum Beach Library scoping study funding for future extension; $78,000 – Environment and recreational trails Coolum Creek, Point Arkwright and Mt Ninderry; $65,000.

Prime real estate at Yaroomba is earmarked for development, but conservationists are fearing the worst.

Council’s jetty claim probed By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA Council has been asked to explain a confusing media release that claimed the State Department of Environment and Heritage Protection planned to force the removal of the old jetty site near the corner of William Street and Gympie Terrace. The media release made bold assumptions that were not approved by the State Department including the “forced removal” of the jetty and that it was now under state ownership. Instead, a spokesperson for the State Department of Environment and Heritage Protection said the jetty matter remained “under investigation” and “no action” was scheduled to remove the jetty, or its owner Kevin Driscoll. Mr Driscoll, a pensioner, is currently taking a one-man-stand on the jetty site, which he purchased with his wife Vicki in the late 1990s. Mr Driscoll was preparing to fight the removal of the jetty and claims any action against his property would be in breach of his constitutional rights. The press release said Noosa Council staff met with State Government representatives last week to clarify ownership issues that surrounded the jetty site. It said the State Government representatives had confirmed that the site was now in State ownership, “since all private rights to occupy the site had been cancelled in January last year”. However, that statement has now been withdrawn. The State Government confirmed at the meeting that it will act to ensure the removal of the temporary wooden structure on the site, which its says is now there illegally. Noosa Council’s director of Planning and Infrastructure Martin Drydale, said the council

had done all it could to clarify the situation, but in the end - he said - “this is clearly a matter for the State Government.” Mr Drydale said the council had offered to remove what’s left of the old jetty pylons at no cost to the former owners, Kevin and Vicki Driscoll, as part of work on the nearby footpath. He said if this offer was not taken up, the footpath work would continue without any impact on the jetty site. The press release also claimed that State Government officers said the deterioration of the structure over many years led to a point where the Driscolls no longer had legal tenure from the State Government over the jetty, or the right to rebuild. However, a spokesperson for the State Department said they had not made any final decision around the jetty’s ownership and were making inquiries with Noosa Council over the press release. Mr Driscoll claims the jetty site deteriorated due to the shifting of the council-owned footpath, which forced several pylons sideways and compromised the jetty structure during the 2013 floods. Mr Driscoll said he had also adhered to the maintenance requirements issued by the State Department. “I’ve got several engineers’ reports that prove the jetty deteriorated due to the shifting of the footpath,” he said. “What I want is for Noosa Council to repair the footpath and correct those pylons so I can rebuild the jetty.” The State Department of Environment and Heritage Protection advised it has taken “no action at this stage” and was “further investigating the jetty matter and press release”.

“They’ll have to lock me up - I’m not leaving,” says jetty owner Kevin Driscoll, who is stepping up efforts against what he says is “injustice”.

JETTY owner Kevin Driscoll has stepped up efforts to reclaim his jetty site at the corner of William Street and Gympie Terrace, by chaining himself to the pylons. Mr Driscoll is in a stoush with Noosa Council and now the State Government over the jetty, which he claims was damaged by the council’s footpath moving. He’s now waging a one-man campaign against attempts to claim the jetty and have it demolished, in what he describes as a “Castle law” scenario. ‘The Castle’ was an iconic Australian film in which a compulsory acquisition of a family home is carried out, only to face a family who is not affraid to take on the system.

Mr Driscoll says his story is similar in that his constitutional rights to own property is “being breached”. “They will have to arrest me,” he said. “I’ll sleep here if I have to - I am not giving up.” Mr Driscoll said he was keeping warm with plenty of coffee and warm clothes for those chilly mornings. He has also thanked hundreds of people who have signed his petition. “I now have more than 500 signatures of support with that list growing every day - I’d like to thank those members of the public who have stood by me,” he said. “What the council and State Government are attempting to do is unconstitutional and I feel my right to property is at risk.”

The bus stops here By JONATHON HOWARD A BUS thoroughfare via Swan Street, Wylah Street and Creek Road has raised safety concerns from several residents. The bus route allows buses to turn around after travelling down Lake Weyba Drive picking up at the Noosa Waters Retirement Estate and back to Weyba Road. According to several residents, there are almost “zero pickups” from Swan Street to Creek Road and many fear an accident could occur due to the blind corners and narrow passing widths. Ted Murphy lives on the busway with his young family and he raised the issue in a letter to Noosa Today.

a safety audit and found the route to be suitable for buses. But Mr Murphy has slammed the safety audit labelling it “flawed”. “How can a road pass a road safety audit for buses when road does not meet the legislated width requirements under the Transport Planning and Coordination Regulation 2005,” he said. “We also note that the surface of the pavement on these streets, particularly on Creek Road, is becoming heavily cracked by this constant bus movement.” Have your say: Do you think large buses should be allowed to turn around using Creek Road? Email your thoughts to: newsdesk@ noosatoday.net.au

“We continue to attest that it is improper, some would argue unlawful, to use Swan Street, Wylah Street and Creek Road as a thoroughfare for these large buses,” he said. “We believe Swan Street, Wylah Street and Creek Road are safest to perform the function for which they were designed, under the Noosa Plan, to give access to private property with on-street parking for residents and visitors with the occasional large vehicle.” Mr Murphy believes the back streets are not designed to carry regular bus movement - “nor is it safe to allow this bus movement to continue,” he said. The matter had been previously raised and the Department of Transport and Main Roads who carried out

Too narrow? Buses travel through Wylah Street and turn right into Creek Road every 30 minutes.

INBRIEF Safer night out LOCAL police will be hitting the streets this weekend as they begin to implement the Safe Night Out Strategy. Launched as a state-wide initiative in response to numerous ‘coward punch’ attacks and a growing binge drinking culture, the Safe Night Out Strategy aims to change the current culture and behaviour associated with drinking. The Queensland Government pledged to provide police with the power and resources to respond quickly to alcohol and drug-related violence and anti-social behaviour. Noosa Heads Officer in Charge Acting Senior Sergeant Dean Holmes said three precincts had been identified for the strategy: Noosa, Maroochydore and Mooloolaba. Snr Sgt Holmes said local police will focus on Hastings Street, Noosa Parade and Noosa Junction, with a high police presence and quick response for any incidents. “Staff from the Coolum station, the traffic branch and tactical response will all help implement the Safe Night Out program,” he said. The strategy will start this weekend with police patrols hitting the streets Friday night.

Sunshine Coast and surrounds will retune from 9 July 2014 As part of the final step in Australia’s move to digital-only TV, some channels in the Noosa Coast (9 July 2014), Noosa Hinterland (9 July 2014), Nambour and surrounds (9 July 2014), Sunshine Coast South (17 July 2014), Sunshine Coast North (22 July 2014) and Gympie (22 July 2014), will soon change frequencies.

THERE will be nowhere for criminals to hide thanks to Noosa police’s new fourwheel drive, all-terrain vehicle. Delivered just last week, the 2014 Yamaha Viking 4x4 will be able to conquer the most difficult of Noosa terrain allowing police to extend their patrols and respond to emergencies in hard to reach places. Noosa Heads Officer in Charge Acting Senior Sergeant Dean Holmes said the new vehicle would allow the police to better patrol North Shore, Main Beach and the Noosa National Park. Snr Sgt Holmes said a number of officers had already been trained to drive the vehicle and there were more officers due to begin the course.

Doonan resident Judy Hardy-Holden wants some important questions answered over the EDV realignment bid.

Many reasons to make the move to Noosa EDV Residents Group president Johanne Wright, has sought to answer a number of burning questions surrounding the boundary re-alignment bid. Ms Wright sought to highlight many benefits of including Doonan, Eumundi, Verreridale and Weyba Downs into Noosa Council.

Big split far from certain By JONATHON HOWARD IMPORTANT questions surrounding a bid to include Eumundi, Doonan, Verrierdale and Weyba Downs into Noosa Council need answers, says a concerned Doonan resident. Judy Hardy-Holden has lived in Greys Road, Doonan, for almost 20 years and she is concerned that a one-sided argument is developing over the re-alignment bid. Mrs Hardy-Holden, who holds an honours degree in environmental studies, said she was also concerned with the processes around the community survey – which she described as “flawed”. She has also raised a somewhat obvious question “why?” “Why do we suddenly need to join Noosa Council,” she said. “Has Sunshine Coast Council failed us in

some way? Are we under-serviced or struggling more than anyone else – those from Noosa included?” Ms Hardy-Holden said she was concerned with reports that the “majority of residents” from Doonan wanted to join the Noosa Council. “I know of many residents who share my sentiment and do not want to change,” she said. “Saying it often and loud enough does not mean it should occur and where’s the proof for this wide reaching and apparently conclusive survey?” Ms Hardy-Holden said she was also concerned with the costs associated. “Who will pay for such a move – and where are the benefits,” she said. Have your say: Would you support an EDV referendum?

SURVEY RESULTS OF EDV RESIDENTS: “In June, the EDV Residents Association commissioned an independent survey and independent analysis of demographic and other data to kick start a conversation with our local community about the level of community support for a boundary change,” Ms Wright said. “This conversation initially started in 2004 way before amalgamation when over 83 per cent of residents were consulted about the benefits or otherwise of a boundary realignment. “In 2005, 80 per cent of these residents indicated their support for a boundary change by signing a proforma letter, the wording of which was approved by the then Maroochy Council. “The Minister re-iterated in January this year that there was some unfinished business regarding the boundaries and he would be prepared to consider this matter based on community views and the responses of both councils. “There is a window of opportunity offered by the minister for this to be considered hence – ‘why now’.” Ms Wright said a lot of time had transpired since the first comprehensive survey of residents and the fact that there has been a lot of people move in and out of our area. “We purposively set about to re-start a discussion in our community to establish if there was still a similar level of commitment to a boundary change. We have been at pains to state over and over again that the initial survey is the start of a lengthy process of consultation,” she said. “The final step in this lengthy process is the opportunity for all residents to have their say which will clearly enable every eligible resident in the area (people over 18 years of age who are registered to vote) to make their views known. BENEFITS OF EDV JOINING NOOSA COUNCIL: “One of the most important questions that people who are undecided or who are against the proposal ask is “what are the benefits?”. What is a benefit to one person may not sway another person as we are all rational people and will be influenced by a healthy degree of self-interest,” Ms Wright said. “There are a number of benefits that have been articulated by people who support the change (above and beyond the shared links and sense of community with the Noosa Shire), a key one of which is the level of po-

litical representation – we are a very small two per cent of the Sunshine Coast Council population with almost no capacity to influence decision making, and this will only get worse and worse as some 212,000 extra people are accommodated to the south of us over the next decade or so. “We would be a healthy 10 per cent of a Noosa Shire with more capacity to have our views well represented.” Ms Wright said another key benefit was accessibility. “Despite the best efforts of staff and councillors, accessing people in a very large council to have an issue resolved is much more challenging than in a smaller council - this has been well documented in academic studies and we have been given many anecdotal stories that also supports the same experience here,” she said. “It has not been unknown for a staff member in the Sunshine Coast Council to not be aware of our suburb ‘where is Doonan?’ Costs are another major consideration - even a cursory look at the general rates of both councils shows that Noosa rates are lower, something that has historically been the case. “Maintenance of assets is another key consideration – SCC’s budget figures suggest that our roads, footpaths and other infrastructure are not being maintained to the level needed – a far cry from Noosa who have significantly increased the level of maintenance in their recent budget. “Focus on the south is another issue there is so much growth planned for the Sunshine Coast that properly, the council must give a great deal of attention to what is happening there, the projects are massive and significant and must command an equally significant level of council attention – we have the potential to become a very small fish in a very, very large lake. “Planning philosophy is a further consideration – the Sunshine Coast Council is strongly pro-development to build the “City of the Sunshine Coast” – nothing inherently wrong in that vision but most people who have come to live in our area support a rural residential lifestyle and protection of the unique characteristics of our many lovely small towns - something that is deeply embedded in Noosa’s planning philosophies and endorsed by its residents.” COSTS OF EDV JOINING NOOSA COUNCIL: What will a boundary change cost? “Boundary changes are not infrequent and the Queensland Electoral Commission has a legislative responsibility to manage that process and has a budget for this to occur,” Ms Wright said. “There is no mention or consideration by the State Government that residents will bear any cost for this.”

Support flooding in for protection By JOLENE OGLE THE three tiers of government have united to protect Noosa from flooding, following the announcement of flood mitigation measures for Cooroy, Pomona and the Daintree Estate, Tewantin. Deputy Prime Minister and Federal Wide Bay MP Warren Truss, Noosa MP Glen Elmes and Noosa mayor Noel Playford were on hand to announce the joint funding initiative, in what they describe as “a strong display of the three tiers of government working together to protect local communities”. Of the planned works, each level of government will contribute around $500,000 to flood-proof Pomona, which will include works to increase the capacity of drainage channels and to divert floodwaters to a nearby creek. Flood mitigation works are also planned for Cooroy, but the full details are yet to be released. Over $1.2 million will be contributed to flood mitigation works in Tewantin’s Daintree Estate, where more than 40 homes were flooded in the 2012 deluge, which the council called an “extreme event”. The funds will be used to improve drainage channels, build a bund, extra culverts and downstream drainage, as well as re-profiling of road reserve areas. Mr Playford said certain areas of Noosa National Park would need to be revoked for the work to be carried out, but he said the council would likely plant more trees to replace the trees lost.

A collaborative approach: Mayor Noel Playford, Noosa MP Glen Elmes and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss share the good news with residents of Daintree Estate.

Three handed approach: Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss, Noosa MP Glen Elmes and mayor Noel Playford are all pitching in to help the residents of Daintree Estate. Daintree Estate residents cheered as the announcement was made at estate on Friday, with many recounting waist-high floodwaters and more than four months spent away from home while repairs were carried out. One resident said the devastation of losing everything in the flood still plagues many who live in the estate, with substantial rain now causing

Foxy cartoon in social stir on web By JONATHON HOWARD A CARTOON posted on Noosa Today’s Facebook page has gone viral with hundreds of likes and shares. The cartoon was drawn by Kay Thornton of Funny Horse Cartoons and challenges the recently raised idea of dispersing flying foxes. The cartoon has been viewed and shared thousands of times and has been “liked” by almost 470 Noosa Today readers. Ms Thornton posted “are you game to publish this” on the Noosa Today Facebook page on 3 July. Debate over whether to shift a

fear and anxiety among the residents. Friday’s announcement has given Daintree Estate residents peace of mind, with many lining up to hug or shake hands with the government representatives. Cr Playford said Cr Tony Wellington was the driving force behind the planned works and deserved the credit.

“If it hadn’t been for (Cr Wellington) and (his) absolute dedication to getting all this fixed for both the Pomona people and the people of Daintree, I can guarantee you, we wouldn’t be here today,” Cr Playford said. Cr Wellington was humble in the face of such praise, saying he was “only doing his job”.

A Daintree Estate resident hugs Cr Tony Wellington, who has been the driving force behind the flood mitigation measures. “I do appreciate that people who have experienced a disaster are forever nervous about having to experience a similar event. That’s absolutely natural,” he said. If the council can help in some way to alleviate those fears, then we’ve done a good service,” Cr Wellington said.

A funny cartoon is causing quite a stir on social media.

Hoping the axe will fall for good By JOLENE OGLE IT’S not everyday someone hopes for redundancy, but for RegenAg’s Kym Kruse, redundancy is a sign of success as the family organisation tries to regenerate the local farming industry. Founded in 2010 by four farming families, including Kym and his wife Georgina, RegenAg aims to regenerate Australia’s farms, soils, communities and farm livelihoods through courses, workshops and networking nights. In conjuction with Noosa Council, RegenAg presented a film and networking night at The J on 2 July, an event that saw producers and consumers come together. Councillor Sandy Bolton, who is helping lead the way for the council’s Rural Futures Strategy review, was on hand at the film and networking night, which she said was a great chance for consumers and producers to come together. According to Kym, networking nights are essential for local farming communities to grow, share knowledge and create a social network. “I think networking is probably the one thing that we try to help facilitate as best we can,” Mr Kruse said. “We see RegenAg being successful if we can become redundant as soon as possible, as a sign of our success. Meaning that, if you provide farmers with the knowledge they require, then you can step back and the farmers themselves, who are very innovative in their own right, will network share, bulk purchase things, collaborate and share that information as they move forward.” According to Kym, the current system is doing little to encourage social networking and collaborative farming. “There is a bit of mistrust and farmers are often competing against each other to get their produce to market,

Growing enthusiasm By JOLENE OGLE Networking: Cr Sandy Bolton and RegenAg’s Kym Kruse at the Noosa Council and RegenAg film night, last Wednesday. with the “big two” putting pressure on them,” he said. “RegenAg is the antithesis of that. It is really about farmer-to-farmer networks and sharing that knowledge and information and that builds a community of trust and co-operation. That is what we would like to see happening in our rural communities.” But Kym said it’s not all about large-scale farming, small family farms and community gardens are the “life-blood” of communities. “Small family farms are as important as urban agriculture, as well as permaculture and community gardens,” he said. “They are great for raising awareness about food and where it comes from and the implications of those three choices that we make every day

(breakfast, lunch and dinner). I think that small family farms have and will continue to be the backbone, the important element of our communities.” Kym also called for agricultural policy to help support Australian farmers. “Voters need to support agricultural policies that support our landholders, who don’t just produce food but perform many other benefits through the eco-system services they provide bio-diversity, clean water and the like,” he said. “We need the majority of the population supporting the very people who take care of the vast majority of our land. Big changes need to happen and a two-way conversation needs to happen. Hopefully nights like this well help kick-start that conversation.”

$2m funding farm futures STUDENTS are set to share in a $2 million funding boost that will see them learn about Australia’s agricultural industries. Federal Wide Bay MP and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss has welcomed the investment, which he said would help students develop a better understanding of primary industries through new education tools such as

online teacher support videos. “There are surveys suggesting that many children never get the opportunity to visit a farm or talk to a farmer, which means that many primary school children are limited in their knowledge of our agricultural industries,” Mr Truss said. “Australian children need balanced information about farming so that they

can understand the processes behind food production. “These resources also afford them an opportunity to consider a career in agriculture.” The educational resources are designed to train today’s school students into the highly-skilled workers of tomorrow, according to Mr Truss.

COMMUNITY gardens tick all the right boxes, according to Veggie Village president Bettina Walters. The Peregian community garden Veggie Village, located on Rufous Street, has been growing strong since 2010 with more than 100 members now attending to 16 individual plots, but president Bettina isn’t surprised by its popularity. “It does tick a lot of boxes for desirable outcomes for the community,” she said. “There’s things like social cohesion, where people can meet and talk and that actually goes through genders and ages and that can be a very beautiful thing.” Bettina said networking was important for people in business, but having the chance to catch up over compost can have many social rewards for community members who simply want to connect. “There are incidental talks and there is no pressure as in social networking groups where you introduce yourself and you have an agenda. The agenda is to grow food together,” she said. “So, it’s a very easy way for people to connect without suspicion, intentions, agendas and so on. For that, it’s great. The conversations often go beyond the gardening, but they don’t

have to,” Betina said. “In terms of fighting isolation, older people, single parents, all alike have an easy way to network and it decreases stress and depression in that sense.” Community gardens are also a great way for old and young to come together and share their skills and knowledge, Bettina said. “We have many older people who are very much valued for their expertise and their wisdom. For gardeners, it is one of those beautiful things where the older your get the more you know, the more seasons you have under your belt,” she said. “And the younger people can usually help with the more physical labour.” The Peregian Veggie Village community garden has taken off since its inception, with a planned expansion due to be completed by the end of winter. The extension will include a walk-through food forest and extra plots that people can adopt to grow their food in. The garden even received a visit from environmental campaigner, Erin Brockovich, in February this year who was on hand to honour the founder of the community organisation, Bruce Molloy, who had won a prize in an environmental competition.

Where losers are always winners By JONATHON HOWARD FORMER Biggest Loser contestant turned personal trainer John Morrall, says he’s creating one of Noosa’s most inclusive fitness centres. Mr Morrall turned his life around in 2007 when his weight had reached dangerous levels and he hit the wall. “I was 150 kilos and I had to make one of the toughest decisions of my life – to lose weight,” he said. “So I ended up on the Biggest Loser which aired in 2008.” The show was the highest rated of the Network Ten series and Mr Morrall is still recognised by fans today. While the show provided Mr Morrall with extra incentive, he never let the cameras take over his personal ambitions. “I knew it was a challenge I would have to face on my own, despite the cameras, and it was one of the hardest things I have ever done,” he said. Years on and following his managerial success with Jetts Fitness, Mr Morrall is living life to the fullest with his partner Christine, and he remains fit and healthy. He is now a franchise owner of Jetts Fitness Noosa on Gibson Road and the business is celebrating turning one this month. “I’ve tried to create one of the most inclusive fitness clubs in Noosa - something for every level,” he said. “It’s important to me that people feel welcome at something more than a gym, but a relaxing and inclusive club.” To find out more, including special offers this month, contact Jetts Fitness Noosa on 5313 4844.

ALL my life I’ve heard people bag my sport, boxing – its too violent, terrible to watch, and no good for you. They may be right but let me tell you how boxing changed the world of Australian woman’s swimming. In 1908 a bloke better known as a used car salesman, pie seller, bakers boy and waiter took a gamble and helped Dawn Fraser, Stephanie Rice, and many others achieve their dream. A Sydney raconteur Hugh McIntosh financed and refereed the World Heavyweight title bout between Champion Tommy Burns and Jack Johnson. It was a major step for McIntosh but he need not have worried as 20,000 gathered to watch the fight at the old Sydney stadium. Johnson smashed the champion into submission by the 14th round, and history was made with the first black title holder. Over the next few years McIntosh became legendary for his generosity and extravagance in supporting hospitals and charities in raising funds. His wife at the time was the president of the New South Wales swimming association. And believe it or not, woman were not allowed to swim in the ocean between 6am and 6pm daily. Their swim-suit was from neck to knee and they weren’t allowed to compete at the Olympics Games. OK, so here come two young water stars of that day Fanny Durack and Mina Wylie who were both swimming faster times then the rest of the world.

Their rivalry probably matched that of Thorpe and Hackett of our present era, but they were not allowed to compete at the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm, unless they paid their own way by ship to represent their country. You guessed it, a word in his ear from his wife and along comes Mr McIntosh to help raise the funds to help start the Olympic journey that has contined for the last 100 years. Durack and Wylie dominated their events at the games in world record times. Fanny went on to win the 100 freestyle and break 12 world records, during her career. I am sure Dawn has a similar story to tell for the pathway to her success and surely there was a Mr McIntosh in the background. No doubt her good mate John Singleton has put his hand in his pocket to help the Balmain whiz over the years. Funny, John doesn’t mind the fights as well, and has good mates like Johnny Lewis, Jeff Fenech and Tony Mundine. Noosa’s own freestyle gold medalist Brittany Elmslie is as tough as most fighters, making decisions to hopefully embellish her career. Her bold move two years ago to leave Brisbane and change coaches has certainly paid dividends. Olympic gold in London 2012, maybe gold again at Glasgow next month. Whatever happens, Brittany can thank Hugh McIntosh all those years ago after copping an earful from his wife and hustling funds to help start a dynasty of Australian women’s victories at the Olympic Games. Who said boxing was a bad sport? Until next time.

“Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander soldiers have represented Australia from the Boer War to the present day. “They became soldiers, sailors and airmen, fighting and dying alongside other Australians on battlefields across the world and were awarded decorations for valour, including the Distinguished Conduct Medal - second in significance only to the Victoria Cross. “Many were treated as equals for the first time in their lives as soldiers, but on returning home they received few of the accolades bestowed on their non-Indigenous comrades. “This NAIDOC celebration presents us with an opportunity to correct that injustice.” Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Multicultural Affairs Glen Elmes, said the service of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander soldiers had often gone unrecognised. “Most Australians are familiar with the achievements of Australia’s Indigenous sports people, entertainers and other high achievers,” Mr Elmes said. “Not so well known is the contribution made by thousands of Indigenous men and women to our nation’s war efforts before and since Federation. “It’s amazing they chose to join up as they were not classed as citizens, had no right to vote and could not even enter a bar. Despite that, they served with pride and distinction.” This event is the first to start a week-long program in celebration of NAIDOC Week.

By JONATHON HOWARD BOTH the Noosa and Cooroy libraries were filled with the sounds of happy kids who helped launch NAIDOC Week this week. NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Dozens of kids on midyear holidays were lining up to learn Indigenous dances and paint boomerangs, during a special book launch by Sunshine Coast Primary School teacher Gregg Dreise. Mr Dreise’s latest book titled “Silly Birds”, seeks to remind children to choose their friends wisely and the importance of listening to their elders. Mr Dreise loves to tell stories with morals for children. He also plays the guitar and didgeridoo to entertain and motivate children to always

try their hardest to succeed in life. “It’s hard to soar like an eagle when you are surrounded by turkeys,” he said. “This story tells the tale of a proud eagle who loses his way, when he meets Wagun the turkey.” Mr Dreise’s richly-textured illustrations highlight a

story for all children to read and discuss their friends with their elders. “Children can make connections of the silly birds in this story, to people at school or day-care. “It is important for children to discuss wise decisions about the people they play with and learn from the experience of others.”

New delivery means better ambo service By JOLENE OGLE

A NEW ambulance vehicle and extra staff for the Tewantin ambulance station will give the region the boost it needs as the local population is expected to triple over the school holidays. Officer in Charge Annette Morris said the new vehicle and extra paramedics will mean the station can now operate from 7am to midnight, seven days a week. “There will be more paramedics for the community, so we will be able to better service the region,” she said. The new additions take the total number of staff to nine and the total number of vehicles to five. Member for Noosa Glen El-

mes was on hand to officially deliver the $200,000 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 319 to the Tewantin station, on Friday. Mr Elmes was unable to greet the new staff as they had already been put to work and were out on calls. Mr Elmes said it was vitally important that the Tewantin ambulance station has a state-of-theart fleet appropriate to the needs of Tewantin and the surrounding regional area that will deliver the quality of service that has come to be expected. Another 100 frontline staff can be expected throughout Queensland over the 2014/15 financial year, with the Sunshine Coast region set to receive an extra nine staff and six vehicles.

They’re a credit to the community COMMUNITY groups, local businesses, surf and sporting clubs were all on hand for Bendigo Bank Tewantin’s impressive 10th birthday celebrations, last week. Since opening in June 2004, Bendigo Bank Tewantin has grown to more than 2400 customers and has donated more than $450,000 to community groups. Tewantin Community Bank branch manager Wayne Hoens said the statistics are a good indication they were doing something right. “The fact that this branch was born from the dream of our community wanting its own bank, to now actively financially supporting its community is pretty special,” he said. “Giving future generations a real say in how the future of Tewantin will be shaped is perhaps the greatest thing we’re celebrating.” The bank didn’t only want to celebrate the dividends it has shared with shareholders for six straight years through the GFC, it also wanted to honour the range of projects, events and organisations it has supported and, in some cases, continues to do so. Projects such as presenting sponsorship of this year’s Noosa Longweekend Festival and Noosa One-Act Play Festival, the Coastguard Noosa radio room refurbishment, the RSPCA and Street Reach vans and Tewantin and Noosaville State Schools, to name just a few. Mr Hoens said exciting times lay ahead for the branch and local community, with thanks to everyone who has and continues to support the community branch. “We’re grateful for the chance to share the milestone with all those who have made it possible simply by banking with us,” he said.

Noosa Council wants pet owners to get their pets desexed.

The splendid cupcakes from Richie’s Bakery finished off the gathering and gold coin donations were received with all proceeds going to the Starlight Foundation.

NOOSA Council has joined the Sunshine Coast Council’s campaign to curb unwanted dog and cat litters. Hundreds of unwanted cats and dogs move from pounds to animal welfare shelters each year - many due to unplanned breeding. Community Programs Councillor Jenny McKay said Sunshine Coast Council was calling on owners to desex their pet(s) now and take advantage of multiple benefits. “The council is a strong supporter and financial contributor to the RSPCA’s Operation: Wanted program offering a 20 per cent discount off desexing and microchipping procedures at participating vets coast-wide until 31 August, plus the chance to win prizes,” Cr McKay said. “It’s also perfect timing for animal owners to further benefit from this promotion with animal registration renewals due in September, as owners of desexed and microchipped cats and dogs receive a significant discount for registering their pets. “But the most important factor is about being a responsible pet owner and helping to reduce more than 400 unwanted, unloved cats and dogs that are moved through our pound to local animal welfare shelters every year. “And it is thanks to the likes of Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge, 4Paws and RSPCA that these innocent pets have a second chance at a forever home. “Operation: Wanted’s mission is to ensure every puppy and kitten in Queensland has a loving home to go and to achieve this by encouraging people to desex their pets and reduce unplanned breeding.” The six participating vets in the Sunshine Coast Council region are Woombye Veterinary Surgery, Maleny District Vet Surgeons, Chancellor Park Veterinary Surgery, Kawana Waters Veterinary Surgery, Currimundi Veterinary Surgery and Greencross Vets Caloundra. The major prize is a pet-friendly holiday - seven nights at the Coolum QRI Lifestyle Holiday units on the Sunshine Coast, plus $500 spending money. There is also a $1200 fuel voucher to be won in each participating region. Entry forms are available at the participating vets following your pet’s operation. The nine council regions involved in Operation: Wanted are Bundaberg, Gympie, Moreton Bay, Noosa, Sunshine Coast, North Burnett, South Burnett, Toowoomba and Townsville. While only a trial, if successful, it may be expanded state-wide next year.

COMMUNITYUPDATES Lift in saLes

oLd saLts

FROM bedding to books, boots to bric-a-brac, bags, bangles, biscuits, Barbie dolls or bridal outfits, even “bacon butties”, U3A Noosa’s mammoth garage sale has it all. U3A Noosa is hoping to buy a lift for their building with the proceeds from the annual sale. U3A Noosa’s Eileen Walder said the lift was desperately needed. “This is an urgent concern as many members are unable to access the upper story of U3A House where art, languages, card games and many other classes take place,” she said. “Last year’s garage sale proved an outstanding start for U3A’s lift fund with most buyers taking home bargains galore.” U3A Noosa is run by volunteers who help facilitate courses, workshops and social get-togethers for the over-50s who want to discover new talents, languages, interests and continue the love of life-long learning. Convenors Angela and John Le Mare have again recruited a team of enthusiastic helpers for the garage sale, but are still seeking donations of plants, preserves, clothing, books, toys, and anything sellable in good condition. Large items of furniture, too bulky to transport, should be photographed for display on the day with contact details for collection. Storage and pick-up of goods is limited. You can grab a bargain this Saturday, from 7am, at the U3A House, 64 Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin. To donate items, volunteer help or for further inquiries, contact the Le Mares on 5474 4453.

New Tewantin Noosa Lions Club president Ian McKay, left, and other Lions Club members.

Just for kicks By JOLENE OGLE THERE will be kickflips, nose blunts and ollies galore at the first ever Kick’n’it Skate Jam this Saturday, at the newly rebuilt Cooroy skate park. After months of community consultation and design work, Trinity Skateparks, in conjunction with the Noosa Council, have created a skating hub for the community with all the must-haves of a top-quality skatepark including a half pipe, spine, box jump, rollover and ledge. Trinity Skatepark’s Kodan Lynam said the Kick’n’it Skate Jam is all about bringing together the community and said the design team spoke with locals to find out what they wanted in their local park.

Serving with pride By JONATHON HOWARD MORE than 80 Lions, dignitaries, and visitors from other Lions Clubs packed the Tewantin Noosa RSL conference room to hear outgoing Tewantin Noosa Lions Club president Peter Schofield’s final address. Brandishing the Lions motto “We Serve”, Mr Schofield spoke of the delivery of substantial financial support to the community. This included the 15 Lions Foundation projects, five non-Lions Charities from Legacy, Leukaemia, Heart Kids, Cystic Fibrosis, Endeavour Foundation and eight other local projects such as Youth InSearch, local state schools

to hospital beds, plus Katie Rose Cottage. Mr Schofield welcomed the incoming president Ian McKay, and the induction was undertaken by the District Governor Delwyn Hallet. The acclamation was witnessed by guest including Noosa MP Glen Elmes, Noosa councillor Tony Wellington and his wife, members from other local Lions clubs of Noosa Heads, Cooroy Pomona, Perigian and Coolum, plus guest from NZ Euen Bidwill. The surprise of the night was Michelle Prenzler, a chaplain at Sunshine Beach High School. Ms Prenzler introduced a young teenager who stole the show, with her presentation and talk

on how Lions Youth InSearch had impacted and changed her life. This incredible frank story of this teenager’s journey towards success and becoming a trainer for youth, brought many to tears as it is a true statement of what being a Lion is all about. The incoming president, Mr McKay said it’s the combined efforts that get the jobs done. “Let’s not forget why we joined Lions, to serve and help others and enjoy the friendship, to always bear in mind our obligations as a citizen to our nation, state and community,” he said. To find out more about the Lions Club of Noosa, or to become a member, phone 5474 0483.

“We’ve enjoyed chatting with the skaters and finding out what they want to add to the park,” he said. “They seem to all enjoy the new features.” Kodan, who also skates for the Boardstore team, said skateparks formed part of the community hub and it was important to bring everyone together to enjoy them. “At the skate jam, we’re just going to celebrate the new features and local skaters,” he said. The Kick’n’it Skate Jam kicks off at 9.30am, this Saturday, with a full day of skating, trick competitions with a $700 prize pool and a skate session with the Boardstore team. Also supported by the Noosa Council and Headspace, the skate day is free for anyone to attend. Just bring along a helmet.

Warm welcome to new Aussies

By JONATHON HOWARD A TOTAL of 60 new Australian citizens were sworn in at The J, Noosa, last week. Noosa Council deputy mayor Bob Abbot told each new citizen how very welcome they were and acknowledged their contribution to Australia. Along with their families and friends from 11 different countries, the new citizens’ smiling faces filled the auditorium. Men and women queued to receive their citizenship certificates before taking their seats and the oath in the main auditorium. The Noosa Chorale, consisting of 26 members, performed a stirring medley of Australian songs to kickstart the ceremony. Cr Abbot, as presiding officer, told the candidates what a privilege it was for him to take part in the ceremony.

I’m with the turkeys

What’s the difference?

IN HIS recent column ‘Brush turkeys running riot’ (Noosa Today, 3 July, page 18), Phil Jarratt exaggerates. After considering the pros and cons of having “wildlife chappies” come and take away the turkeys scratching around in his wife’s vegetable garden, he asks, “What would be the point? They have at least 43 cousins living next door”. I am Mr Jarratt’s neighbour with the turkeys, and I can assure your readers that at any one time there are never more than five turkeys in my yard. Moreover I do not see them as “skinny, scraggy-necked mongrels”, but rather as a wonderful gift to the Noosa Biosphere, and each with a unique personality just waiting to be his friend. They are quiet birds, and don’t leave empty beer cans on the lawn. The idea that they should be removed is nonsense. They are the natural wildlife, and they have as much right to enjoy the bounties of this street as the wild lives that also reside here. I propose that rather than cursing, Mr Jarratt and his wife consider laying a wire mesh over the soil in their vegetable garden before planting the next crop, and should the turkeys remain troublesome, further erecting some netting. John Abbot, Noosaville.

WHY is it so important to be in Noosa Shire Council? Why did you buy in the original Maroochy Shire Council? Will people do anything different from what they are doing now? For goodness sake, can’t we all be satisfied where we live? If you’re not happy, move on and get a life. I have no problem where I live in the now Sunshine Coast Council. T. Burton, Doonan.

Takeover bid WOOLWORTHS and Coles started in groceries and from that to clothes, fuel, insurance, and other money makers. Now we find Woolworths are going into pharmacy. It’s blatantly obvious they won’t be satisfied until they get our last dollars by burying or cremating us. E. Wright, Sunrise Beach.

Right on to the Noosa Council for denying a push to shift out the flying-fox colony at Wallace Park. These native species deserve protecting. Right on to the local libraries for hosting some incredible activities for school holiday kids - keep up the good work.

It’s just logic RE: Proposed Boundary Changes Noosa Council. As a resident in Doonan these proposed boundary changes seem to be so logical. There are many properties further from Noosa that are within the Noosa Council boundaries for some unknown reason to us, Doonan, Verrierdale Eumundi and Weyba are within the Sunshine Coast Boundaries. Presumably because they were in the original Maroochy Shire – how these boundaries were established is anyone’s guess. Surely now is the time to change. As the recent survey has confirmed most of the residents within the proposed area do their shopping, business dealings and utilise the health services within the Noosa Council area. So we are utilising the Noosa Council infrastructure but being governed by and paying rates to another council. Does this make sense – the only apparent services we receive from the Sunshine Coast Council is the rubbish collection and road maintenance when it happens. There is also an apparent population drift south which would suggest that the southern areas will receive the bulk of the Sunshine Coast Council’s attention. Comments that the recent survey does not truly reflect the wishes of the EDV residents are simply not true. All polls and surveys are conducted under given parameters with a small given margin of error. We should be confident that if a referendum was held and maybe that is what should happen, the result would be as decisive as the recent survey. We appear to have the majority of residents who wish to belong to another council - does it make sense for the Sunshine Coast Council to retain ratepayers who would rather belong and contribute not only their rates but their intellectual input into an alternative council? Surely all of this points to the sound reasoning for boundary changes. The survey results and common sense must be taken into account by councils and the Minister for Local Government Mr David Crisafulli. If we live in a true democracy, the wishes of the people must surely be followed. Let us all hope that the good work done by the EDV Residents Group brings the result it justly deserves. Jim Dunlop, Doonan.

No good arguments

Write off to the person at Coolum who locked their dog in the car. It might be winter, but dogs can still suffer in locked cars. Please be mindful of your pets. Write off to those motorists who keep failing to indicate at roundabouts - it does not take much to lift that little lever up or down to keep other motorists informed. Plus keep in mind it’s illegal not to indicate out of a roundabout - just sayin’.

I REMAIN unconvinced at the lack of good argument being proffered in support of us joining Noosa Shire. Why don’t supporters of the EDV Group give some thought to the mass numbers of young people and tradies with families having to leave the Noosa region to obtain regular work elsewhere on the Sunshine Coast due to the short-sighted policies of Noosa Shire Council. Jack Twyford, Doonan.

Crazy like a fox AFTER reading Kay Fielden’s ad nauseum letters regarding the flying-foxes at Wallace Park, I am beginning to see a pattern. She seems obsessed about their copulating and defecating. Obviously, obsessing about these bodily functions really does drive someone mad! Can I suggest she find something else to occupy her thoughts, for her own sanity’s sake? Dave Williams, Cootharaba.

lieves that his move from Noosa to Peregian should in some way extend the boundaries of the Noosa Shire to include his new home. We already have agitation for inclusion of Doonan, Verrierdale and Eumundi to be part of the Noosa Shire. Why not include Peregian? And then perhaps Coolum, Nambour, Maroochydore and Buderim? Eventually Noosa could extend all the way to Caboolture and the council could be renamed to something more appropriate. Perhaps “The Sunshine Coast Council” might be fitting. Christopher Bennett, Cooroibah.

Hilton prices EVERY day we read about how Australians are doing it tough but here on the Sunshine Coast unless you can afford $200, $300, $400 a night we don’t want you lowering the tone of the area. We once had affordable caravan parks in Hasting Street and Sunrise Beach. Here’s the good news. A shopping complex with five hairdressers so you go home looking as if you never left. E. Wright, Sunrise Beach.

Turkey fan DEAR Phil Jarratt just get back on your malibu and leave my scrub turkeys alone. Dawn is the best time in Hastings Street and Noosa Woods, just the scrub turkeys and me. We are just so lucky to have these funny, crazy birds. Visitors to Noosa are fascinated with them. Just seeing a scrub turkey cross the road makes me smile. Plus, as you know Phil, they always win! Eilan Nielsen, Sunrise Beach.

Wrong on Roundup THE letter (Noosa Today, 3 July) titled “Roundup’s ultra-dangerous” is yet another erroneous diatribe of misinformation. The claim that glyphosate, the active ingredient of Roundup, was number four on the most dangerous pesticide list in 1986 is wrong on two counts. 1. Glyphosate is a herbicide and is not a pesticide. 2. The authoritative Merck Index which lists all chemicals and their toxicity, metabolism, residues etc. does not list glyphosate as a dangerous chemical. The claim that glyphosate degrades to formaldehyde is nonsense. Glyphosate metabolises to AMPA (aminomethylphophonic acid). POEA is not an inert ingredient, it is a surfactant in some Roundup formulations and because of its potential toxicity has been replaced in most commercial formulations containing glyphosate. K. Woodward would be well advised to read the National Pesticide/Herbicide Information Centre (www.npic.orst.edu) scientific data sheet for glyphosate before making any further outrageous claims. Kerry Sandford BAgSc, Tewantin.

The big lie WATCHING the Lance Armstrong story on ABC TV (http://www.abc.net.au/news/201407-02/sponsor-turned-blind-eye-to-lancearmstrongs-doping/5564074 ) last week, I was struck by the similarities with the anthropogenic global warming (“climate change”) scare. People who knew that Armstrong was telling a huge lie,(maintaining he was drug-free) and who talked about it, were vilified, lost their jobs, their careers, their reputation and their livelihoods. Others who also knew, kept quiet either out of fear of retribution, were being paid to keep quiet, or because they were profiting from his success. Those of us who declare that observed climate variations are normal are also denigrated, threatened and some have actually lost their jobs. Many know that the threat of climate catastrophe is not scientifically proven, but are afraid to speak out because they are profiting from government subsidies or sponsors’ grants. Joseph Goebbels is quoted as saying: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” Case Smit, Noosaville.

Register them SO THE new rule of a one-metre gap is fair enough I suppose for the non-rego paying road using cyclists ... Does this mean they will ride in single file and allow people to drive past safely? If it is still illegal to ride two abreast, maybe they should be fined $330 as well! I don’t see why people trying to do the speed limit should be fined while idiots ride two abreast having a good old chat! Mirrors and rego should be mandatory ... we need to be able to see a number plate so we can report them, too! It’s only fair, don’t you think? Editor, please find out road rules for bikes maybe. Thanks. Jason Styles, Tewantin.

special feature

Designâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all lit up BY DI HENSHALL AMAZINGLY, lighting design can sometimes be overlooked when planning a new house. Good lighting design is critical for the overall design solution and it is disturbing to see so many houses built with complete disregard for one of the major elements in a home. Lighting has undergone a quantum leap in the last few years, first with dichroic downlights (low voltage), closely followed by LED lighting, the new(ish) kid on the block. LED lighting (light emitting diodes) improves almost on a daily basis. The initial concerns about LED not having enough strength of light output are completely quashed with the new generation of LED. Have fun with experimenting with lighting - LED comes in all forms of lighting, from downlights to strip lighting that can be used as underbench lighting in kitchens, cabinetry and recessed wall lighting. It can be used in ceiling panels and bulkheads. Creating layers of lighting with LED well suits the sleek, pared-down minimalist trend of architectural design, where lighting gives illumination without being seen. Scale and size Lighting can be brave, bold, confident. Scale has a lot to do with its successful installation - using small-scale lights, both pendant and recessed, but in multiples to create drama. Use over-sized lights, both in shades and standard lamps to bring vitality to a space. Look at oversized table lamps, particularly for bedside lamps. I use lamps as tall as 900mm flanking the bed - easier to read by and also adding stature and prominence. Chandeliers Massive chandeliers, both ornate and ultra-simple, make a grand statement in an eatery or nightclub, but can equally be used in homes to great effect, in entries, dining rooms and kitchens. 30 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 10 July, 2014

With no other design element, a well-placed chandelier can give any room the â&#x20AC;&#x153;wowâ&#x20AC;? factor. Pendants Pendant was a bad word in lighting not so long ago, when it was almost a sin to have a pendant light hanging in any room. Things have changed - drum shades have been replaced by sculptural often irregular shapes, used as an individual design element. The multiple drop-pendant light over a kitchen island bench is being widely used now, but this look translates very well into other areas also, such as grouped over a sofa, over a bath, above a desk, in an entry or a stairwell. Pendants even look great over bedside tables. Materials Recent trade shows, such as Maison and Objets (Paris), Decorex International (London) and Salone Internazionale del Mobile di Milano (Milan) showcased lighting made in a broad range of materials, such as porcelain, resin, concrete, rubber, plywood, paper and bamboo. Romantic lighting can be made in organza, soft-pleated silk and printed damasks are all taking their place alongside ultra-modern, chic furnishings, offering a gentler approach to the minimalist design trend. In Europe, even cords of lights are swathed in velvet, organza and silk. The rule The rule is to recognise the importance of lighting and to see how dramatically spaces can be improved by carefully crafted lighting. Rooms should come alive at night, transforming spaces into a new world. Europeans have long held this belief and have never fully embraced the singular form of downlighting. Three cheers for the fact that we are all now acknowledging the beauty and significance of the bold and the beautiful - could this be called enlightenment?

I recently sold a fabulous Little Cove apartment where the owner lives in Hong Kong, the buyer lives in America and the agent was in Italy. Many companies will talk about how important the internet is and the necessity of a good client base. But, what isn’t immediately obvious is having the right strategy surrounding them.

employing people with fabulous technical expertise and, of course, being able to match buyers and sellers with simple searches – it is all vital for modern real estate sales. And the result?

Hot tips for tax time

· · ·

you have paid) for the building industry is due for lodgement by 21 July. Superannuation – Two key points here: The June quarter super needs to be paid by 28 July to be deductible. Anything paid after that will not be deductible (ever) and may have penalties and interest applied. The Superannuation Guarantee rate has increased to 9.5 per cent from 1 July 2014. You may need to upgrade your software to ensure it is calculated correctly. If you are upgrading your software, stop and consider your options. Your old software may no longer be the most cost effective and efficient choice. You should also consider whether “Cloud” accounting is right for you. Now get ready for your accountant – now is the best time to check your figures for the accountant before you forget what happened last year. Getting your work done now doesn’t mean you tax is due earlier. Review your Monthly Profit and Losses side by side – Most accounting programs allow you to print a Profit and Loss Statement by month, side by side. You can then easily scan the rows and check if anything is missing or odd. For example, most businesses will expect to see 12 rent payments. If one is missing, you need to go find it. Reconcile all your Balance Sheet accounts (all of them) ...

Holmans Accounting and Taxation principal Wayne Staal shares his top tips to make tax time smooth sailing for your business.

THE start of the year is a crucial time for business owners to finalise their end-of-year reporting requirements to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and get their information ready for the accountant. At Holmans we provide our clients/bookkeepers with a business checklist to help them collate the business records in the best possible format.

Concert in a class of its own By JOLENE OGLE TICKETS are flying out the door to Noosa’s first major music festival, with event organisers expecting the family-friendly concert to sell out. The Originals Music Festival on 13 September will feature a tasteful blend of local talent and some big-name Aussie acts on two stages for the one-day concert. Ash Grunwald will team up with The Living End band members, Scott Owen and Andy Strachan, as the headline act along with Triple J darlings Sticky Fingers, Kingswood, Bonjah and local heroes, OKA and Carl Wockner. The funky reggae-inspired In2Nation will also take to the stage, plus local acts Ayla, Bec Laughton, Electrik Lemonade and Sahara Beck. The Originals Music Festival is the latest offering from East Coast Originals (ECO), the team that delivers the free community concerts, Peregian Originals and Cooroy Originals, every month. The two Originals concerts have proven a huge success with more than 800 people gathering to hear the latest in local, live talent every month, but the loss of major sponsor Peregian Surf Club left the group facing an uncertain future. Event organiser Marcus Pluckhahn said the Originals Music Festival is designed to ensure the sustainability and self-sufficiency of the all-ages event for years to come. “The Originals Music festival aims to keep its grassroots, family-friendly vibe for years to come,” he said. “The idea of an Originals music festival was hatched to capitalise on the popularity of the Peregian and Cooroy community concerts, which will hopefully ensure a long life for the events.” The festival will focus on a mix of local and national acts in an effort to remain true to the community concert’s focus on local talent. “There is so much amazing music in Australia. We want to steer away from big headliners and pick great music that goes with our culture,” Marcus said. “It’s very important for us to have people come to our festival because they

trust the Originals will be a great day, no matter who we put on. “It has worked with ECO for 14 years, so we see no reason to change the formula for the festival.” The inaugural Originals Music Festival will be held at the Noosa AFL Grounds, Weyba Road, Noosaville, on 13 September, from 10am. Tickets are available now from $40 for adults, $25 for children aged 13 to 17-years, and $5 for children 12 and under. To grab your ticket before they sell out, visit www.originalsmusicfestival.com.au or get along to any Peregian Originals or Cooroy Originals community concert.

Fresh look at Paradise IF YOU missed the first screening of what has been called the “greatest story of adventure and innovation”, then never fear, Last Paradise is back in Noosa by popular demand. Director Clive Neeson said Last Paradise had toured Australia with packed audiences at every screening, but Noosa had been the highlight of the tour. “Noosa had an energetic audience embracing the main message of the film, which has special local significance,” he said. “The film has found a special place here and it’s the perfect way to wind up the premiere tour.”

Last Paradise brings together 45 years of original footage that takes the audience on a global safari with Australian and New Zealand adventure pioneers to experience just how the world was a generation ago. The film includes footage of Noosa during the ’60s when the first surfers, like George Greenough and Bob McTavish, hiked through the bush to surf the isolated pristine waves alone. A focus on possible future world issues, and issues within communities such as Noosa, are also explored as the film takes you on a journey between the lines of fun and adventure.

The special screening at The J will feature an introduction from local Mike Davis, followed by a question and answer session with film director Clive Neeson, who will explain the making and meaning behind the film. “It will be an inspiring night out for all the family,” Mr Neeson said. The film will be shown on 10 July and 11 July, from 7pm, at The J, Noosa Junction. Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for children and concessions. You can book your ticket at www.lastparadisefilm.com.

brine PHIL JARRATT

IF YOU can hear the sounds of huffing and puffing, and see steam issuing from ears all over town, then it must be permit issuing time at Noosa Council. The whole question of conducting private business on public land was described to me recently by some one inside the process as “a vexed one”. Hard to argue with that. The issue or non-issue of operating permits has a tremendous impact across a broad spectrum of small business in our town - nowhere more so than in the surf and stand up paddle schools - with people put out of business overnight on what seems (at least from an outsider’s perspective) a pretty lame rationale, but there are several sides to this story. At the last issuing of permits in 2011, Chris De Aboitiz’s Stand Up Paddle Australia was given its marching orders over an apparent failure to fill in a form. Ross Phillips’ Tropicsurf then took over the SUP license at Noosa Lions Park with Noosa Stand Up Paddle, but now Ross has been outed, apparently over filling in a form incorrectly. Before we consider these particular cases, it’s worthwhile noting that Chris, Ross and Learn To Surf Noosa’s Merrick Davis are all high profile watermen who have added value to our aquatic assets in much the same way that champion surfer Cheyne Horan’s surf school is a tremendous asset to the Gold Coast’s surfing tourism. Apparently there’s not enough room for them, along with other lesser known operators, on our beaches, which I feel is as much our loss as theirs. Tropicsurf’s Ross Phillips put out a heartfelt press release last week indicating that the company’s disqualification from the recent applica-

tion round on the basis of “canvassing” was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Henceforth, Tropicsurf would withdraw from the surf and SUP lessons market that they pioneered many years ago with the Wavesense school, and focus their business on exotic surf travel and “guiding”. In case you don’t know what guiding is in this context, a brief note of levity, hopefully not inappropriate. Last year in Bali I ran into one of Tropicsurf’s main men and asked what had brought him to town. My jaw dropped as he told me how he was “guiding” an extremely wealthy tech entrepreneur through a year’s sabbatical during which he would learn to surf at a dozen of the world’s greatest resort surfing locations, flying the family in for conjugal visits when the surf went flat. This was one of those rare occasions where I wanted to be either of the people in this story. But I digress. The story of the moment is this: is Tropicsurf getting a raw deal from the council, just as Chris De Aboitiz and the Stintman family believed they were getting a raw deal three years ago? On the technicalities, the answer is probably no. I won’t get into the nitty gritty because there could well be litigation in train, but careful reading of the Noosa Council “expression of interest” documents indicates that there was a clear breach of the clause pertaining to contact with councillors and reporting of same. Given the fact that the

unhindered by rampant surf schools, fleets of novice paddlers coming down the river, or coffee carts and ice-cream trucks taking up valuable car park spaces. Personally, I can see how you could arrive at this view theoretically, but if you actually use the beach and the river system for enjoyment every day, as I do and as most of my friends do, you will know that surf and SUP schools hinder no one, and in fact foster tourism and save lives, and that there’s nothing better than a Hey Bill coffee after an early surf and one of Rainer’s Frenzy ice-creams after the last wave of the day. Bottom line, no-one is making sheep stations on the beach, and the vast majority of these service providers help make Noosa a more interesting place.

alleged breach appears to be largely technical, and that this resulted in the disqualification of the only applicant for the Noosa Lions Park SUPS permit, you might have expected a more lenient approach, but that would be to ignore the council’s broader view of the whole issue of public space permits. Basically they don’t like them. According to one of my informants, despite the recent hike in permit fees, the financial equation doesn’t add up, with costs of administration outweighing permit fees by about 40 percent, with ratepayers therefore footing the bill for the deficit. But underlying the financial issue is the philosophical issue of the true purpose of recreational public spaces, such as beaches, parks and car parks servicing them, and whether the community interest is truly served by leasing them to entrepreneurs. As my insider friend said, it’s a vexed question. Mayor Playford has a strong view on this, as you might expect from one of the people in the frontline a generation ago when our environmental assets were under challenge, and he expressed it in moving a veto amendment to the Lions Park permit last month. But he is not alone in this. Within the new council there seems to be a common view that the balance between commercial use and public use of public space needs correction in favour of the right of the individual to enjoy private recreation

Slow roasted winter warmer sharing their delicious slow roasted shoulder of lamb recipe – the perfect winter-warmer.

Ingredients: 2kg lamb shoulder (bone in and scored slightly) 1 bunch fresh rosemary 1 bulb of garlic, unpeeled 3-4 brown onions Organic olive oil Murray River salt flakes Black pepper, freshly ground Mint jelly or sauce for serving.

Method: 1. Pre-heat the oven to its highest temperature 2. With a sharp knife, score the skin of the joint every 2.5cm. Cut about halfway through the fat. 3. Using plenty of salt and pepper, season the lamb on both sides, ensuring you get plenty into the slashes you have made. 4. Separate all the cloves of garlic and place half of them, unpeeled, in the base of a suitable sized roasting tray. 5. Distribute most of the rose-

mary stems evenly into the base of the tray. 6. Sit the meat in the tray, skinside up. Make slits in the lamb for the remaining garlic and rosemary. Add chunks of onion around the lamb. 7. Drizzle three or four tablespoons of olive oil over the skin of the lamb then cover with a layer of foil, folding the edges to make a good seal between the foil and tray. 8. Place the joint into the oven on the top shelf and instantly turn the oven down to 170 degrees.

Leave the lamb to roast for between three to three and a half hours. 9. Remove the lamb, and serve with mint jelly or sauce on a bed of mash potato and green beans.

THANKS to Eumundi Meats for

Garry’s snags are in the bag LONG-TIME butcher Garry Rogers is back and he means business with the opening of Noosaville Meat Market. As the original owner of La Boucherie, Garry has 25 years’ experience in the industry as well as a deep knowledge of his local customers’ butchery needs. Since taking back ownership of La Boucherie, Garry thought it was time to reinvent the store many have grown to rely on for fresh, budget-friendly meats. Noosaville Meat Market stocks smallgoods such as wood-

smoked hams and bacon, Garry’s own flavoured sausages, glutenfree sausages and sides of lamb and beef. And, if you like to celebrate Christmas in July, you can’t go past fresh, free-range turkeys and ducks. For the budget conscious, bulk packs and budget packs offer value. Special orders are also available, plus made to order packs. Garry said he loved to support locals, buying his meat from local producers wherever possible.

Gourmet Takeaway

“I’m excited to be back to serve the Noosa area again,” he said. “I look forward to welcoming back old customers as well as new customers.” Noosaville Meat Market is located at shop 4/10 Project Avenue, Noosaville, and is open Monday to Friday, from 7am to 4pm, and Saturday, from 6am to noon. Right: Garry Rogers and his famous flavoured sausages are back.

What’s in a facial? SOME facial treatments are designed to deep-clean the skin, while others offer moisturising benefits, and still others help to relieve stress, which often causes acne. Facial treatments feel good and offer soothing relaxation, according to Sharon Cassidy from Riverside Beauty. Facial massage treatments increase circulation and the flow of blood, and they include a variety of creams, aromatherapy and oils that moisturise the skin and relieve stress as well as encouraging peace of mind and contentment. Facial treatments help to improve and restore circulation to facial skin layers, increasing the flow of oxygen-enriched blood to skin cells according to Sharon. This rush of blood to the skin gives your skin a healthy glow and plumps skin cells with vital nutrients and water, which reduce the appearance of wrinkled and dry skin. Nutrients like blood, vitamins and minerals found in the blood, along with adequate hydration, help develop and maintain new skin cells, essential for a youthful, healthy appearance. The Pampering Facial The pampering facial will do just that- pamper you! The instant you snuggle under the big fluffy doona among the soft light of candle flicker you will start to feel the benefits of your facial. Then with the expert administration of beautiful smelling oils and creams tailored to your specific skin type it just keeps getting better. A facial massage can relieve headaches, tense jaws, sore necks,

tight shoulders and for the frowners it’s like smoothing away the tension lines. Of course your skin will also see the benefits - a glowing, hydrated, healthy looking complexion is the usual result. Anti-Aging Treatment Orientated Facial While there is no way to stop the aging process, a variety of facial treatments and technologies may help slow the skin-aging process and

offer you more youthful, supple skin. If you’re looking to slow the clock on aging skin, have problematic or sensitive skin or are prepping for cosmetic facial surgery then a medical grade peel is the key. These facials are designed to work on the superficial to deeper layers of the epidermis and create mild to intense exfoliation. The ingredients are far more active and the intention is to deposit high levels of anti-oxidant vitamins which will stimulate correct cellular

function, repair damaged collagen, strengthen capillaries and stop the acne bacteria from spreading. Usually a course of peels is needed and with the correct home care the results are outstanding. There is a lot of high technology and advancements in facial treatment machines available to beauty therapists today. Here is an example - non-surgical facelifts, skin needling to promote collagen growth and repair scarring, microdermabrasion for

acne scarring or collagen stimulation, IPL for skin rejuvenation, pigment and capillary removal and sundamaged skin. So if you’re not interested in surgical procedures but want some serious results, then the answer lies in machine-based facial or medical grade peels or a combination of both. Talk to the team at Riverside Beauty and discover the perfect facial for your skin.

NOOSAEDUCATION

College has positive vibe By CHRIS IVEY, Principal AS ONE outsider visiting our college recently remarked to me, there is a great sense of enthusiasm and energy about this place. What she was referring to was the very evident commitment by our staff to generate not just a love for learning but a love for belonging, of being part of a community. The flow-on effect of this is a student body that so openly emanates a willingness to engage in a wide range of opportunities. Our purpose and drive at St Andrew’s is to leverage our positive energy and supportive community to enable our students to move confidently into their future. This is at the

The Prep tennis team are ready to give it a go.

heart of St Andrew’s. As a college with a strong Christian foundation, we can graciously share our staff and student achievements in our academic, sporting and cultural fields, we can explain our dynamic pastoral care program underpinned by our strong house system and we can demonstrate our commitment to the local, nation and global community through our vast array of service trips and opportunities. However, what is important for me as principal is that each person understands what it means to belong. To understand that we have high expectations on each student to achieve their personal best, but that we will provide an engaging and supportive community that enables this

to happen in partnership with staff and parents. Every day is an open day at St Andrew’s, because we believe that words and pictures can only say so much. It is by experiencing it firsthandthat sense of community and belonging. On Thursday 17 July, we will hold our annual open day with two convenient tour times of 9am - 10.30am and 3.30pm - 5pm. Our aim is to share with you a typical day here at St Andrew’s, and I urge you to ask questions about what we do and what is important to you; however, I also urge you to look and listen and begin to understand why St Andrew’s is so unique. St Andrew’s is a wonderful place to learn, to grow, to create, to be challenged, to belong.

Legends leave ’em laughing AUSTRALIAN cricket legends Allan Border and Rodney Hogg were the guests of honour for the popular Sportsmen’s Dinner held at Noosa Tewantin Golf Club on 26 June. The Sportsmen’s Dinner is part of Border and Hogg’s tour that has re-

ceived rave reviews throughout Australia, and it is easy to see why. The pair entertained the packed room with insightful anecdotes about Australian cricket, with some serious comic relief from Hogg.

Melena Burgess, Brenden Muggleton, Mark Goodsnip and Jo Brown.

THE Peregian Springs Golf Club ladies are having a stellar season. After the Weekend Pennant Ladies won their division, the Weekday Pennant Ladies won the North Zone title, ending the season at the top of the leaderboard with 24.5 points, two clear points ahead of Mt Coolum. The Weekday Match Play Pennant was organised by the North Coast Zone Ladies’ Golf Association and the competition was played between the ladies from Cooroy, Mount Coolum, Tewantin-Noosa, Nambour, Noosa Springs and Tin Can Bay golf clubs.

THE Peregian Springs ladies were already five points in front of their nearest rivals going into the final of the North Coast Zone Weekend Ladies Pennant Golf competition on Sunday. The last match was played against Mt Coolum and resulted in a three-all draw, with the Mt Coolum team not conceding without a fight. The Peregian Springs ladies ended the season on top of the leaderboard with 43 points. 2013 winners, Pacific Harbour, were second on 39 points. Teams from 11 golf clubs in the region competed over three months. Highlights for the Peregian Springs team included a 5-0 win over Tewantin-Noosa at the start of the season, two clean sweeps against Beerwah and Gympie, Sally Barnes winning all nine matches she played in, and Shania Herzog-Smith winning all but one of the 11 matches she played in. These outstanding performances secured an early lead for the Peregian Springs girls and made it very difficult for other teams to catch. Captain Di Porter and team member Sharon Stevens both commented that “the slope system has brought all of the teams back to a level playing field”. The girls proudly brought the trophy back to their home club after the final, sat it on the bar and celebrated in fitting style. For more information contact Peregian Springs Golf Club 5471 5471.

Fitness on the run By JOLENE OGLE ALMOST 80,000 people take part in the Saturday morning fun runs known as parkrun, and now Noosa locals can get active when parkrun comes to town. Kicking off on 12 July, parkrun is a volunteer-led community group that invites anyone to get along and enjoy a 5km run, walk, sprint or jog every Saturday morning, from 7am to 8am. Event director Kate Mayne said the event is for the whole family any fitness level is welcome.

Kate said she was excited to bring the free, community-focused event to Noosa, with parkrun already operating in Kawana and Golden Beach with more than 200 people attending every Saturday morning. “We have received great support from the local council and Noosa Hospital,” she said. “We expect there will be a lots of locals at our first run this weekend. We invite everyone to come along. “It is not a race, parkrun is where you can get a time and come along each week to try and do a bit better.

“It is completely run by volunteers and has a fantastic community feel about it.” The concept of the community run was founded nine years ago in the UK and has now grown into a global event with 78 parkruns currently in Australia. The first Noosa parkrun is this Saturday 12 July, from 7am, starting at the council parking in front of the Noosaville State School, 75 Beckmans Road, Noosaville. To register, visit www.parkrun.com.

talk JULIAN PITTS

THE Fiona Winter Realty / PJ Burns Noosa Tigers went down to top of the table Mayne in Brisbane last Saturday in an enthralling contest fitting of that played by the top two sides in the QFA North competition. Noosa were able to jump their more fancied opponents early however, the ladder leaders fought back with the score line seemingly always within one straight kick. With both teams having key personnel out due to late withdrawals, it was evident that not much was going to separate the competition heavyweights. However, with the scores level with only four minutes remaining on the clock, the 2014 premiership favourites were able to slam on four goals in amazingly quick succession to put their Sunshine Coast rival Tigers away. Club stalwart and life member Doug Murray said it was hard to remember such a freakish way for such a close encounter to end. “We seemed to be gaining momentum late in the game until the game was stopped due to

an injury and for the remaining four minutes we just couldn’t get our hands on the footy,” he said. “You can tell that both sides were up for it and it really was a terrific contest. We are certainly not that far off them.” Noosa remains in outright second position, a game clear of the third placed Kedron and two games ahead of Maroochy with five games to play. While Mayne had two or three notables out, so too did Noosa with Isles (work commitments),Davis (soreness) and Rogers (Brisbane Lions commitments) all set to strengthen the tigers in coming weeks. Centre half back Ryley Buntain was outstanding for Noosa as was Captain Peter Tromp whose ruckwork was a feature throughout the entire day. Garry Wallace again was prominent with his run and carry out of defence, while Joshy Reichman found the footy plenty of times for the full four quarters. Sam Dwyer played his best game for the club this year, while Brett Duke was easily the Tigers’ best forward with another consistent display. A loss is a loss and we don`t accept them as honourable at Noosa however the feeling among the boys is that they can’t wait to get another crack

A blood-pumping weekend By JOLENE OGLE IT was by pure accident that Tyler Johnson discovered his love for the adrenaline pumping, gravity-powered sport ‘street luge’. “My brother and I got a skateboard for Christmas when I was six,” he said. “I couldn’t stand up so I sat down and thought that was a whole lot of fun. We started pushing ourselves down the driveway, pulling off into the grass… before we went to find bigger hills to speed down.” It wasn’t until Tyler saw professional street luge on the X Games that he realised what he was doing. “I saw it on the TV and I thought, ‘those guys have stolen our idea!’” he said. Street luge took a backseat during Tyler’s high school years before he decided to get back into the sport almost six years ago. “I looked it up on the internet,” he said. “There were only three or four guys in Australia doing it.” Tyler joined forces with Brisbane Street Luge, who are now home to more than 25 street luge members and monthly ‘Learn to Luge’ days where anyone can come along and learn the art of high-speed luging. Tyler and the team at Brisbane Street Luge are now bringing the sport to Noosa with the Noosa ProAm to be held 9 and 10 August, on Gyndier Drive, Tewantin. The ProAm is a great way to see what street luge is all about, with two days of classic luge, downhill skateboarding, gravity bike and downhill inline skating. It’s set to be one bloodpumping weekend. Registrations are still open for the event, with the condition that entrants have previous experience in the sport they are registering in. For the full details of the event or to register, visit www.brisbanestreetluge.com.

Sam Edmonson shows us how it’s done.

Director of Life Saving and Club Captain, Joe Cirillo.

Hectic schedule for clubs FOR surf lifesaving clubs throughout Queensland, the June July period is a very busy one in our winter calendar. The major dates during this period are of course the annual general meetings and in some cases such as Noosa the Old Boys’ reunions. At Noosa, the AGM weekend started on the Saturday evening prior to the Sunday morning AGM, with the Old Boys’ Reunion. This was a great success with some 40 plus members both men and women, in attendance. For some, it was their first visit in 30 or 40 years and as one can expect many tall tales were exchanged and old mateships rekindled. The formalities were under chairmanship of Life Member Ross Fisher. On the agenda were such matters as a distinctive old boys’ logo, upgrading of their constitution,

Between the

flags RON LANE

redesign of club dress shirt and discussions regarding the application for blue cards. The discussions were sometimes heavy, and as one can imagine on occasions hilarious. However, the establishment and consolidation of these old boy groups within our clubs is of utmost importance for it helps to maintain a deep sense of pride and tradition. Without these two virtues, organisations, in particular those who specialise in the protection of human life, will often be found wanting. The other factor is of course experience. The opportunity to pass it on to the new generation

of patrol members is to be encouraged. Try as you may, you cannot push a shopping trolley through your local IGA and purchase $50 worth of experience. It only comes with years of patrolling, decision making and hard work. In his welcome to members, Ross took the opportunity to introduce a special guest to the meeting. He was none other than Barry Maloney, a foundation member, and life member of the West Beach Surf Lifesaving Club in Adelaide South Australia. Barry, who answers to the nickname of Dackless, and his wife Dorothy now live in retirement on Noosa Waters. Apart from his club duties and obligations, he is also the proud author of a book entitled, A Tin Shed on the Beach, a series of short stories on the early days of the club.

For the season ahead, Ross Fisher was returned to office as president and Trevor Cleary was elected secetary. A calendar of events for the season ahead will be forthcoming. On Sunday morning, the annual meeting of the senior club was held. Attended by 90 members, the meeting was chaired by Gerard O’Brien who sat in for president Greg Cowie, absent because of family obligations. There were two new appointments to the management committee, one being director of life saving, (club captain) Joe Cirillo in place of Dan Capps and director of administration Peter Leek, replacing Gina Lynch. Both of these appointments were unopposed as Capps and Lynch retired after years of service to the club. The appointment of Cirello puts him in the hot seat as this is the club offi-

cer responsible for all aspects of club life. “My priority is to do a top job between the Red and Yellow flags, for this is what we are all about,” said Cirillo. Cirillo’s career started back in 1982 when he obtained his bronze medallion in the Marboubra Club in Sydney, a beach renowned for big surf. With a background such as this, it is obvious that Cirillo definitely has his goals set in concrete, but like good captains will always be approachable. On Sunday Peregian Club will hold their AGM starting at 9.30am. Best wishes and our support. Next week, we will take an in-depth look at the vital statistics of our three clubs for the 2013/14 season.

A busy week of bowling, Saturday the highlight COOROY COMMUNITY A FABULOUS week of bowls was worked out at Cooroy. Saturday was a particularly busy day. The finals of the Ladies Triples Championships were played on Saturday morning. Claire McGrath, Lynne Hateley-James and Julie Ainscough were the winners after a tight tussle against Sandra French, Nancy Duffield and Bettina Winkler. The Men’s semi finals saw convincing wins. The finals will be held next Saturday. The Saturday Jackpot Pairs winners this week were Rick Sorrensen and Steve Prout. Bill Haack and Leo Sorrensen were runners-up. The AGM to officially form our full committee was held on Saturday evening. It was well attended, demonstrating the community interest in the new club. The evening finished with a sausage sizzle. Tuesday Jackpot Pairs had a full green of players once again. Everyone is obviously enjoying the winter sunshine. Winners were Col Nalder

In the

ditch and Fred Bravo. Runners-up were Geoff Green, Bruce Coventry and Sandra French. The first round of the Winter Suns challenge was held on Sunday. Again, the players enjoyed the winter sunshine and camaraderie. Lynne Hateley-James created two beautiful casseroles for all to share at the end of the day. Thanks Lynne. The next round will be Sunday 20 July at 1pm. This week sees Tuesday Jackpot Pairs, Thursday Noosa Radiology Day (formerly Madills) and Saturday Jackpot Pairs. Happy Bowling. – Julie Ainscough

Noosa Heads IT’S another big week of lawn bowls at Noosa Heads with the Options Eyecare 1500 on Monday and the annual Laguna Ladies Fiesta Fours be-

ing staged on Thursday. Both events have attracted capacity entries, including many who make the yearly trip to Noosa for the great bowls, and sunshine. The next of the club championships to be decided is the ladies BSingles, for which entries are now due. Preliminary matches will be played during the month with the final set down for 31 July. Last Tuesday’s winners of men’s pairs were Ian Sanday and Neil Walsh with the runners-up prize going to Tony Whelan (Vic.) and Terry O’Neill. The ladies played triples on Wednesday with the winners being Debbie Austin, Jeanette Emery and Beryl Small. Taking the Friday Jackpot Pairs prize, yet again, were Mal Lloyd and Ron Wallish- their third successive Friday win. Bob Ginnaw and Allan Teale were next. Local Jenny Bowie teamed with Tasmanian visitor Eric Negri to take the pairs on Saturday whilst Carolyn Burgess, from Edithvale in Victoria, skipped the winning triples team

which included Heather Rider and Beryl Nelson. The biggest margin in the Men’s pennant trials went to Andrew McCall, Keith Musgrave and Walter Zemler. – The Chalker

Runners-up: Tony Taylor, Bill Hock and Irene Land. The margin jackpot was not claimed.
