Swingers’ party still on for this weekend, but council’s interest is aroused...

Swing away The love cave at Noosa Edge Nudist Retreat.

By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA Edge Nudist Retreat owner Rainer Muekenberger is adamant a complaint regarding his business hosting a swingers’ party this weekend has come from a Brisbane resident. Mr Muekenberger has lived in Noosa for the last 13 years and has operated the B&B for the past three years without a single complaint. But following a recent booking from a man interested in hosting a swingers’ party at Noosa Edge, he

the complaint – which is a council policy. He is now facing a possible $16,000 function licence fee, which he says could blow out to many more thousands in compliance bills. Mr Muekenberger put his B&B on the market three months ago and feels he is being forced out. The 65-year-old said he had been a nudist since he was 16 years old and saw nudity as liberating. He also says open nudity has dropped due to the obesity crisis.

“I believe nudity has dropped significantly since the early ’80s, since the obesity epidemic,” he said. “People are no longer willing to show their bodies.” He said couples struggling with their relationships could get a lot out of adult retreats. “The biggest crime is not knowing how to tap into and understand your sexuality,” he said. Mr Muekenberger said any activities that occurred in his B&B were between consenting adults.

has since come under investigation by Noosa Council following a complaint. “I am almost certain the complaint was not from a neighbour, but rather it was from a man in Brisbane,” he said. Noosa Council has allowed the swingers’ party to go ahead this weekend, but the retreat could require a function licence for future events - pending a council decision.

Healthy need By JONATHON HOWARD ONE of the founders of the Noosa Hospital, Elizabeth Aspinall, has spoken out about the desperate need for hospital upgrades including a birthing centre - as the future of the hospital hangs in the balance. Mrs Aspinall was a founding member, alongside the late Peter Skelton, of the Noosa Hospital Community Board of Advice formed in the 1990s and they fought for more than nine years to get the hospital opened in September 1999. She said the Noosa Hospital had opened with 110 beds under a split of 35 private beds and 75 publicly funded beds. However, that number has now slipped to 92 beds, with a shift toward private beds now occupying about 60 per cent of beds and about 40 per cent allocated public care. Mrs Aspinall now fears a lack of investment in the hospital’s infrastructure and the lack of a birthing centre, is sending the hospital down a path of private investment. Noosa Hospital is partly owned and managed by Ramsay Health Care through a contract arrangement with Queensland Health and contributes to the overall capacity of public health services within the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service (SCHHS).

“The hospital was built by Mayne Health which was an off-shoot of Mayne (Logistics) Transport,” Mrs Aspinall said. “Noosa Hospital provides a wonderful service, but the buildings are becoming run-down and the gardens have deteriorated into a wasteland.” Mrs Aspinall said the Noosa Hospital was the first BOOT (Build, Own, Operate and Transfer) hospital to be built in Australia, a concept which has since been replicated in other regions. “Noosa Hospital was originally planned to include an obstetric wing due to the fact that at that time the region had more than 600 births a year, but a maternity wing was put on hold and was planned to be added later,” she said. “The time is now to redress the absence of a birthing centre, to provide more beds which are currently in short supply and to restore and increase the number of public beds, which along with their public funding have been surreptitiously whittled away over the years. “Why do we still not have a children’s ward at Noosa Hospital? When the number of children has grown hugely and there are a lot of sick children who could be treated by specialists in a low-key children’s ward.” Have your say: Would you like to see a birthing centre opened at Noosa Hospital?

Elizabeth Aspinall says it’s time Noosa Hospital was upgraded with a birthing centre and more allocation of public beds. Inset: Noosa Hospital’s main entrance sees around 70 patients enter per day.

Maternity well considered By JONATHON HOWARD SUNSHINE Coast Hospital and Health Service Chief Executive Kevin Hegarty has responded to concerns around the Noosa Hospital, saying public maternity services have been given careful consideration. He says under the service agreement that the SCHHS has with Ramsay Health Care, the SCHHS as the client has the ability to purchase the volume and range of services that helps best meet the health care need of the community. “The annual decision as to what range and volume of services will be purchased from Noosa Hospital is made with consideration of the health needs of the Sunshine Coast and Gympie communities and the changing availability of services,” he said. “Decisions on how the SCHHS allocates its budget are driven by the need to ensure the greatest benefit to patients by providing the most services while ensuring they are safe and of the highest standard. Each year we treat more patients than the previous year; our allocation of resources is

Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service Chief Executive Kevin Hegarty. focused on being able to continue to do that.” Mr Hegarty said planning for public maternity services had been given careful consideration to not only meet future demand, but also ensure safe and high quality maternity services were provided. “Separating birthing services across sites (as close as 35

minutes) complicates recruitment and retention of specialist staff,” he said. “These staff include obstetricians but also specialities supporting maternity services such as anaesthetics, paediatrics and neonatology. “Maternity services in the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service area are provided by both public and private service providers. “Private facilities care for approximately 32 per cent of deliveries for Sunshine Coast/ Gympie residents with public facilities delivering 68 per cent. “Of this 68 per cent, about 12 per cent of births occur in Brisbane public facilities mostly at Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital (RBWH). “The SCHHS provides public inpatient maternity services at Nambour General Hospital and Gympie Hospital, with outpatients and postnatal follow up at multiple community sites at Caloundra Health Service, Maroochydore, Coolum and Noosa.” On an average day Noosa Hospital will admit 70 patients, treat 40 patients in emergency and undertake 30 operations.

Greens way to cleanliness By JONATHON HOWARD IN MANY ways the preselected Greens candidate for the state seat of Noosa, Joe Shlegeris, has done and seen it all. He’s rubbed shoulders with the late Steve Jobs, started a successful software company in California’s Silicon Valley, worked as a venture capital investor in Sydney and as a stockbroker in Queensland. But Mr Shlegeris is about to take on his biggest challenge yet, by contending the state seat of Noosa in next year’s election. Mr Shlegeris says he has a vision for Noosa and for Queensland that involves a green, clean and abundant future. To say that Mr Shlegeris is underqualified would be the understatement of the year and that’s not considering his degrees from both Harvard and Stanford, but rather his wealth of knowledge in the technology and finance industries. His resume reads more like a passage out of Bill Gates’ memoirs, but it’s his professional approach to finances that would make any Labor or Liberal National Party member nervous. He speaks passionately about small business growth and believes his financial knowledge could be put to go use. He said small business was being hampered by job-destroying state taxes, especially payroll tax and stamp duty, while big business extracts other concessions to ease these burdens. By selecting a candidate with an extensive entrepreneurial and business background, the Greens are moving into new territory. “Obviously environmental issues are critical to all aspects of life,” he said. “Without a thriving natural world, we won’t have the resources or the economy we need.

Joe Shlegeris has been nominated as the Greens candidate to contest the state seat of Noosa next year.

By JONATHON HOWARD

“I think that in the past Greens candidates have been boxed in as single-issue extremists times have changed. “Sound environmental management goes hand-in-hand with sound economic management, with job creation, and with debt reduction. “The tired old parties think they can sell you business as usual, more of the same. I hope people are ready to move forward.” Mr Shlegeris says that we’re now in an era in which the best economic policies are exactly matched to the best environmental policies. “The private sector is ready to fund massive expansion in clean electricity,” he said. “This requires no subsidy from the state. It just requires the state to get out of the way and stop blocking access to the grid.” Mr Shlegeris wants to free private producers of electricity and consumers of electricity to deal with each other, delivering much lower electricity costs.

THE Rotary Club of Noosa has again hosted its annual Special Children’s Festival Circus Quirkus at the Nambour Civic Centre recently. The show, produced by International Entertainment PL, is specially choreographed for children determined to be in need of a brighter day as a result of their disadvantaged lifestyle or health condition. The show provides humorous entertainment and comedy by professional performers and the Rotary Club of Noosa provided two sessions to cater for demand. The show provided many young children with a stress-free time in their life when serious health issues hinder their daily life. The Rotary Club of Noosa used a professional telemarketer to attract hundreds of businesses across the Sunshine Coast and from Caboolture to Gympie, to sponsor seats for the disadvantage children attending.

It is the altruistic attitude of the business community that makes this event possible and Noosa Rotary applauds sponsors for participating in this show and those to come. Those attending the show will see banners representing sponsors who have supported the event and Noosa Rotary very much appreciates all sponsors who contributed. Circus Quirkus Community Services director Darryl Dent said about 1000 disadvantaged children of all ages and their carers attended the two shows. “Funds will now be channelled back into the local community to assist Youth Programs, SES and Coast Guard just to name a few of the many organisations that benefit directly from this event,” Mr Dent said. “Our gratitude and thanks go out to the many businesses and individuals who give so generously to make this all possible.” To find out more about Circus Quirkus contact Rotary Club of Noosa on: (07) 5470 2157.

Early closure: bar’s lifted By JOLENE OGLE

FOR some it will be a nightmare come true when local venues can begin to apply for extended trading hours from 1 September 2014, when a ban on applications is lifted after four years. Noosa Waters Residents Association president and government lobbyist Gary Trevithick said he feared for the local community and insisted late night trading hours were directly related to alcohol-fuelled violence. “Reduced trading hours is the only proven method for reducing alcohol-fuelled violence,” Mr Trevithick said. In 2009, Mr Trevithick lobbied the State Government to impose a hold on over 100 late night trading permit applications after the Villa Noosa, Noosaville, applied for a 5am trading permit. Mr Trevithick and the Noosa Waters Residents Association were successful and the State Government imposed a 12-month hold on all late night trading permit applications, pending the outcomes of the Law Justice and Safety Committee inquiry into alcohol-related violence. The government inquiry, released in March 2010, made a number of recommendations to help curb drug and alcohol-related violence in the local community, many of which have been included in the State Government’s Safe Night Out Strategy (SNOS).

SNOS was recently launched in Noosa with several violence hot spots identified as Safe Night Out Precincts, including Hastings Street and Noosa Junction. Local police announced there will be a higher police presence in the precinct, as well as continued security at taxi ranks and Noosa Council’s most recent budget includes a budget for the maintenance of CCTV cameras on Hastings Street. According to AttorneyGeneral Jarrod Belijie, there is no “silver bullet” when it comes to tackling drug and alcohol-fuelled violence and that it is about more than “simply winding back trading hours and punishing those who do the right thing”, rather it requires a multi-pronged approach. “Quite simply, the violence had to stop. For too long, the actions of a small minority were ruining things for everyone,” he said. “That’s why, after months of consultation and receiving over 12,000 submissions from Queenslanders, we introduced the Safe Night Out Strategy, the most comprehensive action plan of its kind in Australia to tackle alcohol and drugfuelled violence. “The Safe Night Out Strategy is about changing our drinking culture longterm and educating our future generations to restore responsible behaviour and ensure Queensland’s nightlife

The report said a microchip, which is still mandatory for all cats and dogs, has a much greater chance of identifying an owner and reuniting them with lost or impounded pets. The State Government last year voted to remove mandatory cat registration and placed the onus on local governments to retain or abolish cat rego.

FROM the end of September cat registration will no longer be mandatory under a move that Noosa Council says will save ratepayers in the long run. But cat owners will still need to ensure they have their animal micro-chipped to determine ownership if cats are lost or impounded.

is safe for all.” Mr Belijie said strengthening the licensing system was the key, plus a range of reforms set to take place including compulsory drug and alcohol education for school students from Year 7 to 12 in a bid to tackle the culture of early drinking. “We’ve also introduced a new offence of ‘unlawful striking causing death’, which will carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment and require the offender to serve 80 per cent of his or her prison sentence,” he said. Mr Bleijie said the Sunshine Coast community was a priority under the state-wide plan. “It will have one of 15 Safe Night Out Precincts across the state that will require mandatory ID scanners in late night trading venues, more high-vis policing and the opportunity to improve locals amenities under the $8 million grant program,” he said. “We are committed to making Queensland the safest place to raise a family and we believe we are on the right track to achieving this.” But for local man, Mr Trevitick, only time will tell if the new strategy will reduce alcohol-fuelled violence on our streets. “We’ll wait and see,” he said. “But if the SNOS is not successful, then I will make another submission to the government.”

Sand blast By JONATHON HOWARD A HANDFUL of Sunshine Beach residents have been ploughing their way through the sand dunes to access the beach. Noosa Council has moved to protect the fragile foreshore dunes after complaints were lodged with council. Council letters have now been sent to 11 property owners about the unauthorised structures which were constructed on public land, according to council. Mayor Noel Playford said the council wants to deal with the issue sensibly and have a conversation with each property owner about what may or may not need to be done. “But in the end there has to be a process in place for the sake of this fragile environment,” he said. “In some cases excavation and building of stairs has occurred on very steep slopes which could result in serious erosion during heavy rainfall. Erosion of sand dune areas has cost ratepayers dearly in the past.” Mr Playford said that, apart from environmental concerns, there are public liability issues, as the structures have been built on crown land that’s being administered by the council. A Noosa Council press release said failing to take action would leave council liable for negligence in the event of injury. Mayor Playford said each case will be looked at individually, with the council working with property owners to try to balance the issues of beach access, environmental sensitivity, and public safety.

Several Sunshine Beach residents have been ploughing their way through the delicate sand dunes to access the beach. The former Noosa Council and, more recently, the Sunshine Coast Council, have dealt with similar cases of property owners building unauthorised structures to access the beach. “There’s nothing new about the temptation to build your own path through the dunes, but this is environmentally sensitive, public land, and it’s the council’s role to protect it for future generations,” Mayor Playford said. Noosa Council can send out infringement notices and prosecute offenders, but Mayor Playford said he hoped the issue could be resolved amicably without the need for further council action.

Bank throws a cash lifeline

Tom Macbeth with his latest photo realistic painting of Princess Mary. Picture: Uwe Wullfen.

Princess joins Archibald toast By JONATHON HOWARD EUMUNDI artist Tom Macbeth may have narrowly missed out on the 2014 Archibald Prize finals with his painting of Princess Mary, but that did not stop him from celebrating with an exclusive art party recently. The invite-only event attracted around 120 guests and took place in a commercial property behind Aromas Cafe in Hastings Street. Mr Macbeth was an Archibald finalist with his portrait of Jessica Watson and has been recognised with Australian and international awards. His original paintings were on display during the evening.

But the highlight was the unveiling of Mr Macbeth’s most recent creation – a photo realistic image of the Danish princess entitled “Transformation”. “What a great night,” he said. “I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did and for those who couldn’t make it, you can still see the original paintings of Princess Mary, Jessica Watson, Diesel and Mick Fanning at the event location (behind Aromas Cafe). “As I did not get the opportunity to talk to everyone on the night, please feel free come in and see me as I will be actually painting there for a while whilst the premises remains vacant.”

TWO Noosa community organisations were awarded grant money by the Commonwealth Bank Noosa Heads Branch on Monday, 4 August. The grants form part of $2 million grant contributions from the Commonwealth Bank to 238 youth-focused organisations around the country. This year Cooloola Noosa Life Education Association received $1604, and Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club received $10,000. The grant cheques were presented to the community organisations by Commbank staff and Federal Member for Widebay and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss. Mr Truss aknowlegded the hard work and valuable contribution these and other community focused groups make to their communities. “Thanks to the support of grant programs such as these, we’re able to support those community organisation to continue doing what they do best,” he said. Representing Cooloola Noosa Life Education Association was Emma Plasier. “I’d like to thank the Commonwealth Bank and Mr Truss for this grant money,” she said. “We’re planning to put the fund towards a new computer and printer, which will help with our Cyberwise program to teach kids about cybersafety.” Accepting the cheque on behalf of Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club was Stephen Mawby, and his wife Nikki,

Rousing vision Benny’s

beat BENNY PIKE

THE late American comedian Jackie Gleeson’s favourite line “How sweet it is’’ certainly fits our Coast Commonwealth Games athletes. Thirteen locals from five different sports will gather again tomorrow for the Coast’s official Welcome Home at Maroochy RSL. The Coast sent the most athletes over to Glasgow and brought home seven gold, one silver and three bronze. Leading the way was Noosa’s Brittany Elmslie with two gold and one bronze, adding to her London gold. While her performance is outstanding, believe it or not she can only get better. Rio and Gold Coast are well within her reach, and she deserves success after making the decision to relocate to achieve her dreams. The former Noosa Aquatics swimmer will be named Sport Star of the Month, which is well deserved. Fellow London gold medalist Melanie Schlanger continues to glitter after her gold medal relay swim and world record. The Buderim local will walk down the aisle in October, which, I am sure will match her swimming glory. St Andrews student Remy Fairweather will be happy with her gold and 400 final swim, again only a step towards Rio in two year’s time. Caboolture’s Taylor McKeown surprised everyone with her win in the 200 breaststroke, and the 19-year-old is another destined to future success. Also in that final was Delhi silver medalist Tessa Wallace who should be very proud after her rocky road of illness to make the team. Sunshine Coast Uni Para swimmers Lakei-

sha Patterson and Blake Cochrane won’t be there tomorrow as they are competing at the Pan Pac Para Championships in America. Both secured bronze in their events in Glasgow. Former Noosa junior lawn bowler Kelsey Cottrell has another medal, this time silver to match her bronze four years ago. Officials are hoping she will continue until the Gold Coast, hoping she will complete the set and go for gold. Belli Park’s cycling star Shara Gillow will enjoy some time off at home, after racing in two events in Glasgow making the finals in both. First timers Matt Boyd and Melanie Panayiotou enjoyed their first time in the Australian colours, and both can look to bright futures. The Australia Zoo Vet Panayiotou will be the star athlete in this year’s Coast Marathon in three week’s time. What a terrific finale when Alana Boyd and Jodie Kenny took the stage. Stoic performances both digging deep as they helped lift the Aussie gold tally. Boyd, the defending pole vault champion, fought off rain, wind and cold to execute her winning leap and give her family 11 Games gold medals. As spectacular, Caboolture’s Kenny waited till the final 11 seconds to push home the equalising goal that allowed the Hockeyroos to go on to the claim gold over England in the penalty shoot-out. Jodie had a stellar game, scoring nine goals in their 32 to 1 goal campaign. Special guests tomorrow include Commonwealth and Olympic medalist Julie McDonald and Nambour’s 1954 javelin champion Jim Achurch. The Sunshine Coast has a bright future, Glasgow was just the prelims as we get set for a wonderful Gold Coast Games. Until next time.

Game on! Noosa Bridge Club members Tom Goddard (six-year member), Wendy Coman (10-year member), Robyn Scott (five-year member) and Joyce Parker (25- year member).

Bridge club stands out By JONATHON HOWARD THE Noosa Bridge Club celebrated a special 20-year anniversary for the dedication of the Wallace Park clubhouse on Monday 4 August. The club has been described as one of the “best bridge clubs in Australia” and judging by the 400 odd members, it’s easy to see why. The clubhouse, which is located on Wallace Drive, combined a former church building at James Street with a modern extension in 1994. It has since been a welcome space for the club’s members to compete and enjoy six bridge sessions per week. And as long time member Joyce Parker

mentioned; “the club has been around for a lot longer than 20 years”. “I’ve been a member for 25 years and remember the old clubhouse at James Street,” she said. “I think bridge is a great activity, it motivates me to socialise and to get mental stimulation.” Noosa Council mayor Noel Playford was the guest speaker during the celebration. Noosa Bridge Club vice-president Pam Hawkins said members contributed $8 per head, donations and raffle ticket. The total raised was $2420 which will go towards Katie Rose Cottage.

Waving goodbye to Main Beach AFTER 1460 continuous days operating on Noosaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Main Beach, local business Go Ride A Wave Hire has said goodbye to the golden sands of Noosa Main Beach. The business missed out on a permit renewal following the Noosa Council permit overhaul earlier this year. Following de-amalgamation, all 14 beachside businesses with permits were extended until 30 June 2014 by the Sunshine Coast Regional Council to allow Noosa Council time to consider its policy position. In April, the Noosa Council adopted a new permit policy called the Commercial Use of Community Land Policy, which called for changes to the structure including an increased permit fee to help cover administration costs and a

limit of two permits per permit holder. Go Ride A Wave owner Peter Fidler said they had accepted the loss but maintain losing the hire part of his business would have a huge impact on staff and business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asking the community to hang with us,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grateful for everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support over the past years.â&#x20AC;? But, Peter remains optimistic about the future, with the business securing a permit renewal for their surf lessons at Beach Access 11 in Noosa West Beach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have out surf lesson business. We love teaching people to surf and share with our customers, just how great surfing is,â&#x20AC;? he said. Go Ride A Wave began surf lessons in Noosa in 2006 and will continue to

run surfing lessons on a daily basis from Beach Access 11. Peter said now is the perfect time for locals to show their support for businesses that employ local people, with four university students employed by Go Ride A Wave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have not yet tried surfing, or need your kids taught by full qualified, expert instructors then call us,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You will have a fabulous time and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in safe hands.â&#x20AC;? There are now 11 high-use permits currently operating at Noosa Main Beach precinct. The beach hire permit previously held by Go Ride A Wave for four years has been reassigned to another company who will set up business in front of the Noosa Heads Surf Club over the next few weeks.

No permit means no access to lake NOOSA boaties who sneak their way without a permit into the Noosa Waters residential lake system will no longer get out free of charge. Noosa Council has decided it will start recovering its costs for callouts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many of them out of hours â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to release boats from the lock. Noosa Waters residents have raised the issue of non card-holders sneaking into the lake system behind authorised boats. When the unauthorised boaties want to get out it means a callout

by a contractor or council officers to operate the lock, with the general ratepayers of Noosa footing the bill. After discussions with the Noosa Waters Residents Association, council has agreed to erect signs at the lock warning those who enter without a card that a release fee of $400 will apply. The Residents Association agreed this was the right approach, and the council has determined that clearly visible signs warning of the release fee should act as a deterrent.

Permits needed! Boats stuck in the Noosa Waters residential lake system without a permit will be required to pay a fee to get out.

Circus animal carers Belinda McGahan and her partner Rob Joyes.

Ring of animal respect By JONATHON HOWARD THE idea of animals performing in circuses conjures up cruel images of monkeys riding horses or tigers locked in small cages. While some residents view animals in circuses as important as clowns and trapeze artists, others believe making animals perform is wrong and should be banned. To learn more about animals in the circus I (senior journalist Jonathon Howard) decided to take a behind the scenes look at the local Hudsons Circus. I made a surprise visit to the Hudsons Circus’ big top at the corner of Maroochydore Road and Baden Powell Street on Wednesday 30 July. The owner and ringmaster Shane Lennon was off site at the time but the circus animal carers Rob Joyes and partner Belinda McGahan were available and offered to show me round before Shane’s return. Rob has 23 years’ experience working with animals at Australia Zoo, Dream World (Tiger Island) and a number of other circuses. Belinda has 14 years’ experience working as the polar bear and seal supervisor at Sea World. She also has a bachelor of science in marine biology and wildlife biology.

The couple present a range of ungulate animals (hoof animals) during their brief but popular performance, which includes camels, llamas, zebras, ponies, water buffalo. There are also two macaws. Rob said the animals perform for about five minutes over three main acts and they can be required to perform twice a day during a busy schedule. “We’re not about the past when animals used to be dressed up,” Rob said. “We’re a lot more mindful of the animals and instead our routine demonstrates their natural tendencies. “We believe these animals are spectacular enough and they really don’t need to be dressed up to put on a show.” The animals are kept in temporary holding pens with water, shade and food available. The African zebras, Zulu and Zambezi, were born in the USA and are one of the highlights of the circus. Rob told me the camels, which were busy trying to eat my camera case, originated from the Northern Territory where they were near death. “The camels were in bad shape when we got them,” he said. “There’s a big issue with wild camel in central Australia (they’re

often shot from helicopters) and when we got our camels they were carrying microscopic bugs (mange) which are life threatening.” Rob and Belinda nursed the camels back to good health and spent countless hours training them for the circus. Judging by the campervan parked next to the animal’s enclosure, both trainers are never far from their animals. “It’s not just a job for us, it’s a lifestyle,” Belinda said. “We live in our trailer alongside the animals which is not only good for them but good for us, to be close and recognise any issues.” Both Belinda and Rob told me they understood some of the negative views of animals in circuses. “The circus industry has evolved,” Rob said. “We hope to challenge the preconceived notions that circuses are cruel to animals and we welcome people to drop by anytime and visit the animals.” By this stage Shane had returned with a welcoming smile and invited me through the big top. Shane told me about the circus community and how animals play an important role. “The reality is, without animals there’s no audience,” he said. “Families want to bring their

children to see the animals, clowns and performers. “Circuses that do not have animals are often subsidised by the government, or they go out of business.” Shane said he recognised that circuses undertook questionable practices involving animals in the past. “Circuses have moved on from the past,” he said. “We’re required to adhere to the RSPCA best code of practice and that’s why we employ professionals, such as Rob and Belinda, who can meet the best practice and still retain animals in our shows.” Shane is a fifth generation ringmaster and said his latest show combines the modern circus with the traditional. “There’s a lot of out-dated information about animals in circuses and I would invite anyone to come down and visit the animals to decide for themselves,” he said. Visit the Hudsons Circus website hundsonscircus.com.au or phone 0458 483 766 to find out more. Have your say: Do you think circuses of today have evolved to treat animals with care and dignity? Or do you think animals should be banned from performing? Email your full name and suburb to newsdesk@ noosatoday.net.au.

Circuses aim to maintain that animal magic A SMALL but spirited debate is raging around Noosa over the moral and ethical obligations of circuses when handling animals. To find out more about this sensitive topic, Noosa Today put five questions to Circus Federation of Australia executive secretary John Le Mare. Mr Le Mare lives in Tewantin and advises the Australian Federal Government on matters of circus animal welfare. 1. What is the standard of animal care like in circuses today? Excellent. Government regulations carefully cover the welfare of animals in circuses and while they are travelling. Each state has its own regulations but, basically, they are very similar. Circuses are subject to inspection by various animal welfare bodies at any time, without warning. In most cases this involves the RSPCA. The RSPCA have never (at least not in the last 10 years or so) had to take a circus to court on animal welfare or other matters. Details can be found on the website of the Circus Federation of Australia, www.circusfed.org.au. 2. Were practices unfavourable in the past in relation to animals, and how has this changed over time? Yes. Some of the past practises, such as jumping through rings of fire, would never be allowed today. Nor do we allow the use of whips. (NB think of Melbourne Cup Day when much of Australia stops work to watch this race in which each horse is whipped at least 12 times! Everyone has different ideas of welfare in the usage of various animals in various activities). 3. What has the public reaction to animal circuses been like in Queensland and around the world? Australian Circuses with animals are so popular that the enterprises do not need, nor receive, any government or taxpayer support. Australian circuses without animals, which are also excellent, are insufficiently popular to survive on box office receipts and need annual government/ taxpayer support. 4. Do animals still have a place in the circus and how would you address those with concerns? I think this is answered by questions three above. However, anyone who is worried, let them see for themselves and make their own decisions. They can just rock up to a circus at any time and ask the management to see the animal enclosures – there is nothing to hide. They do not have to pay to go to an actual performance if they do not want. 5. What were your thoughts of the Hudsons Circus, who brought two zebras to Maroochydore recently? Hudsons Circus is an excellent enterprise with very high standards of animal welfare. The zebras are a normal species of animal used in circus performance around the world. Hudsons are also members of the Circus Federation of Australia.

John Le Mare is the Executive Secretary of the Circus Federation of Australia. 14 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 7 August, 2014

COMMUNITYUPDATES FLYING FOX FOCUS FLYING Fox Rescue Release Noosa is a small, hard working group of volunteers committed to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of orphaned, sick and injured flying foxes in the local area. Formed in 2003 by Jan Davey, this group is dedicated to the fight to preserve flying fox species and their habitat. Jan has studied flying fox behaviour for more than 10 years and has been mentored in her research by leading experts in this field such as Dr Les Hall. Together with her colleague Terrie Ridgway, Jan will share her extensive knowledge of flying fox behaviour and show some short videos, including one about colony dispersals, when she is guest speaker at Noosa Parks Association’s Friday Environment Forum on Friday 8 August. Come along to the Environment Centre, Wallace Park, Noosaville from 10am for coffee, with the Forum starting at 10.30am. Meet in the car park at 8.30am to join the Interpretive Birding Group. All welcome. Visit www.noosaparks.org.au for more information.

LETTERS Sunny solution SOLAR power doesn’t push electricity prices up. At the beginning of July the Queensland Government terminated the eight-cent Solar Bonus Scheme (SBS) feed-in tariff for gridconnected roof-top solar power, claiming that it was increasing the cost of electricity for all consumers, with a total cost of $110 million by 2020. This argument makes no sense. When electricity companies buy electricity at 8c per unit from homes with solar power and then instantly resell it to neighbouring properties for 27c per unit, they make more than 200 per cent markup! Surely, this represents the owners of solar power systems subsidising the electricity costs of their neighbours. It can’t be argued that this process places a high load on the network infrastructure - the electrical energy from roof-top solar is consumed in the locality in which it is generated by nearby consumers, who don’t have solar power, using minimal network infrastructure. In fact, the diffuse nature of solar electricity generation reduces the need for infrastructure because the flow of energy is never concentrated, as it is when it comes from large centralised power stations. New information revealed in the media recently gives the real reason for the increase in electricity costs in Australia - electricity companies have massively overspent on distribution infrastructure ($45 billion nationally over five years) and now they are adding that cost to our electricity bills. This happened because electricity companies convinced themselves that the demand for electricity was going to endlessly rise into the future, when in fact it fell due to the increasing use of solar-photovoltaic power systems and solar and heat-pump hot water systems, and the high cost of electricity. Unfortunately, the Australian Energy Regulator is allowing them to recover this cost from us so that they can maintain their very high profits. Chris Andrews, Eumundi.

29 July, on Mayor Mark Jamieson’s vehement rejection of the wishes of the majority of residents of the areas of Eumundi, Doonan, Verrierdale and Weyba Downs for a boundary change. What is the mayor so worried about? Why is he so afraid of the democratic process, of allowing the people to have a say in their future? It’s just a little boundary change, for goodness sake - it represents two per cent of the population of the SCC. Wherever did he get the idea that boundary changes produce uncertainty and disruption - in the general scheme of things, that’s precisely what they dispel! “The gentleman doth protest too much, methinks” (with apologies to William Shakespeare). Does he not know that boundary changes are part of local council governance? Does he not know that there have been several boundary changes over the years which haven’t actually altered western civilization as we know it? Does he not know that allowing people to have their say to an independent commissioner would be the best way to create stability in the region? Does he not know that a boundary change can be accomplished fairly simply and efficiently? We’re not talking de-amalgamation here people, just a simple, straightforward boundary change! I think the mayor of the Sunshine Coast Council may have seriously underestimated the EDV. Not a smart political move! R. Mitchell, Sunshine Coast.

Hey, thanks I THINK it is wonderful the way you continue to deliver your paper to Doonan when we are not considered part of your community. Thanks very much. Chris McDonnell, Doonan.

and supporters and I keep the records. At the Eumundi community meeting you were told the number of paid-up members, so why say 30. Numerical disconnect. I can appreciate that you don’t understand survey methods but an opt-in survey can and does produce accurate results. It was carried out by a prominent member of the Australian Market and Social Research Society, very professionally. That people didn’t complete it proves nothing. What evidence do you have that EDV residents “are quite happy with SCC”? Are they happy with the recent five per cent rate rise or the cumulative rise of 17 per cent over the last three years? Noosa Council had no input to the survey and certainly did not provide any funding or assistance. There was a commercial contract between EDV Residents Group and the survey company. Noosa Council quite rightly are leaving the matter to the people of this area. What proof do you have that “most locals don’t feel the need to change anything”? In our 2006 doorknock survey an overwhelming majority preferred to change to Noosa Council, from Maroochy. Cr Robinson is in place to represent all residents, those for and those against - it’s called representative democracy. Of course councils spend money on sealing roads, that’s simply what they do. Obviously a smaller council area means a smaller budget, but also a smaller area to service, and there are plenty of infrastructure projects currently happening in Noosa Shire. Although NSC is not a small council when compared to others across Queensland, it now has a capital works program budget of $22.67million - with monies set aside for road sealing. If only you would stop wasting time with your unfounded and inaccurate comments. Bob Mirams, Secretary, EDV Residents Group Inc.

Right on - I love the new glossy Noosa Today. It looks great.

Right on - What a great job the cafes and restaurants are doing along Gympie Terrace. There is a fab vibe going on and, while the hype always centres around Hastings, these guys are creating a fantastic buzz. I love taking guests down to the river. Well done to all those putting in the hard yards (and the big bucks) to get it going.

Write off to those residents ploughing their way through the sand dunes to get to the beach. Think about what you’re doing.

Write off to Noosa Council for not giving Arron McCormick an answer on his permit application to build sandcastles.

It wasn’t us Push is on I NOTED with interest Sunshine Coast Regional Council Mayor Mark Jamieson’s move clearly aimed at heading off any push for a council boundary re-alignment to place the districts of Eumundi, Doonan and Verrierdale within the re-created Noosa Shire. As someone who lives in Doonan, 170 metres outside the Noosa Shire boundary, but whose life is very much part of the Noosa region, I am concerned by Mayor Jamieson’s failure to wait for a formal proposal but to act in what can only be interpreted as blind determination to smash the idea without discussion. Unfortunately I voted for Mayor Jamieson. That’s not a mistake I will make again. I find the EDV residents group’s reasoning for a boundary change persuasive, as opposed to Mayor Jamieson’s warnings of supposed destabilisation, disruption and eroding business confidence. I regard this as scaremongering with no basis in fact. The present zigzag boundary is an accident of history, dating from a time long before Doonan resembled the community it is today. Perhaps that’s why the boundary cuts Doonan in two in a ludicrous and arbitrary fashion. We on the southern side of the line are just as much a part of the Noosa community. Who is Mayor Jamieson to sit in splendour many kilometres away and dictate to us that his council should run our affairs if our will is different? His concept of democracy appears sadly flawed. There appears to be significant opinion in our area in favour of rectifying the anomaly. This must be determined democratically to reach a decision. The voice of the people will be heard. Obviously Mayor Jamieson has learned nothing from the experience of the Noosa de-amalgamation. Bryan Coxall, Doonan.

Fighting back I REFER to the articles in Noosa Today, Thursday, 31 July and the Noosa News, Tuesday,

MR DOM Massoni (Noosa Today, 31 July) claims that a survey in the EDV area was paid for by Noosa Council. That claim is incorrect. I can advise that Noosa Council has not commissioned or paid for any survey in the EDV area. Brett de Chastel, Noosa Council CEO.

So dismissive DISMISSIVENESS and arrogance has been on display by Mayor Mark Jamieson regarding a pending proposal for a boundary re-alignment. The arrangement both Sunshine Coast Councils have with the EDV Residents group regarding Eumundi, Verrierdale, Weyba Downs and part of Doonan was that the written proposal would be lodged for consideration by the end of August. The recent decision by the SC Council to not get involved (motion passed unanimously) is a clear example of undemocratic principles. The reasons given for such non-involvement include local disruption, uncertainty and destabilisation which is a nonsense, particularly considering the small number of residents involved. Boundary changes are a simple matter, not costly to residents, and happen throughout the state from time to time. Mayor Jamieson and councillors must remember that it is the people who vote them into office. The EDV residents group submission, currently in preparation, is displaying reality and commonsense and the people’s voices must be heard. John Horn, Tewantin.

Dom, Dom, Dom IN REPLY to Dom Massoni (Noosa Today, 31 July). Not bad for you, Dom. Only eight items in your vague ramblings and comical assertions that need comment or rebuttal. You say 30 or so members. I say that EDV Residents Group has over 900 active members

The scheme reached the United Kingdom where its nature was radically changed to be a more self-help model, which has been adopted by Australia, Cyprus, New Zealand and South Africa. U3A members will be able to meet a wide range of people with interesting skills, stories and knowledge to share on the quest for learning. Noosa U3A House features a spacious studio, library, auditorium, games room, language laboratory, computer room, kitchen and social area.

Fun chasing rainbows THERE were plenty of smiles last Friday as St Andrew’s as students, staff and families took part in the inaugural Fun Rainbow Run all in the name of a good cause. You’ve heard of The Colour Run, a popular event held yearly at Kawana, but the Rainbow Run had a different twist. Organised by Year 12 prefects, Brittany Cashman and Annabel Lemmey as part of Pay It Forward week, participants ran a 1km course around the college, passing by colour stations, where water guns were ready to squirt House coloured water. The only requirement was to wear white clothing and be prepared to get wet and colourful. Brittany said she was happy with the event that was a huge success. “Not only did over 420 people come along and have an amazing amount of fun, but over $2000 was raised through the entry fees. It was great to be involved in making so many people smile, knowing that the proceeds were going to support those in need through our donation to the Leukaemia Foundation,” she said. Principal Chris Ivey praised the prefects’ efforts. “Our prefects did an amazing job organising such a fun event, but they never lost focus for the reasons behind it,” he said. “It was a great example of the wonderful community we share here at St Andrew’s. I now have a very colourful shirt to wear,” he said.

It’s not just for students, teachers got in on the action, too. Mr Nick Curtis soaked up the fun. Lachlan Byers and Charlie Nancarrow.

Two students received Elite awards for earning over 10,000 points. They were Year 7 student Dylan Cross and Year 4 student Alexander Clark. In total 241 Year 4 to 7 Cooroy students spent 1779 hours learning over 10 days. Mr Deighton said that the students of French at Cooroy loved dressing in costumes and performing plays in French and recently performed at the French Festival at South Bank.

MORE than 110 guests joined forces to help raise funds for the Indigenous Buoyed Up program at the annual Buoyed Up dinner last weekend, held at the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club. Diners were treated to guest speakers Olympic sailing champion Tom Slingsby and Australian Sailing Magazine editor Roger McMillan. Proceedings were kicked off by Andy Phipps and program patron and Minister for Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander and Multicultural Affairs Glen Elmes, who explained the benefits of the Buoyed Up program. The Noosa Buoyed Up program is a five-day camp for Indigenous and vulnerable children between the ages of 7 and 12 who complete the Yachting Australia

Five times World Laser Champion and London Olympic Gold Medallist, Tom Slingsby, entertained the guests with stories of his crushing defeat at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 when he was the outstanding favourite and the soul searching required to back up and have another shot at the title four years later. With the support of all who attended, sponsors who donated auction items --the Westpac Foundation and The Sisters Charity and Complex Security-- the Bouyed Up program was able to raise almost $30,000.

when small business is suffering. We need sensible environmental policies for small business, nurturing of the Noosa Biosphere and better policy on power generation and a review of the tax imposed on power users. Under the current LNP, the Noosa Hospital is also set for closure by 2019, no further funding is available in the budget. What are your views of climate change? It’s blindingly obvious that climate change is occurring and when you’re running a business you’re mindful of this. But the climate change debate has reached a stage of uncertainty, similar to those parallels to tobacco; there are now gaps in our understanding. What are needed are sound financial policies which take into account the environment to plan for a longterm future. What is your view of the coal industry now and into the future? The state spends billions supporting the coal industry for extremely little return. The LNP government has bet Queensland’s future entirely on the coal industry, which is on the brink of

The Treasurer might as well be taking our money down to the track. This isn’t an argument about climate change or about whether we should be using coal or not. It’s simply recognition of the fact that the coal era is ending, fast. The state could incur a generation’s worth of debt and keep coal

going for a couple of extra years. Or it could get out of the way and let Queenslanders scoop up the unlimited free energy which falls from the sky or blows past every single day.

Di has designs on an expansion AWARD-WINNING interior designer Di Henshall is off enjoying a much-deserved holiday this week, but her regular column will return in a fortnight. In the meantime, it’s been full steam ahead at the Di Henshall Interior Design office with an office and production expansion, new staff and a fun photo shoot. The team donned construction gear for the shoot to celebrate the expansion of Di Henshall Interior Design’s custom kitchen factory, Kitchen by Resident Hero. In a newsletter to clients, Di outlined the plans for the expansion. “We are going to be in the thick of things with plans to construct a new purpose-built manufacturing facility for our subsidiary company, Kitchens by Resident Hero,” Di said. “I’m also allocating space for our expanding design team, just in case we outgrow our studio here in Mary Street. This is very exciting for me, as I can showcase sustainable building products in the new build, using Greensmart building practices. “With high visibility right next to Bunnings warehouse, we are really going to cement our position as a force majeure on the coast.”

IT IS MY GREAT PRIVILEGE TO SERVE BOTH BUYERS AND SELLERS WITH ALL THEIR REAL ESTATE NEEDS “After having our house on the market for six months we decided to change agents. We listed it with Century 21 and within a month Jason Wedge had it sold. Jason was an absolute delight to deal with, nothing was too much trouble for him, he is an extremely good listener and hence a good people’s person. More importantly Jason is a very patient negotiator. We have recommended Jason to friends and they too have been very impressed with him.” - Sam and Anne “Of the open homes that we looked at on our trip you were the only agent that followed up with an offer of assistance. Having discussed our needs and the type of property we were looking for it was most helpful that you not only selected a rrange o of suitable properties, but arranged the inspection times to suit our schedule. This saved us valuable time as we only had 2 weeks leave from work in Indonesia. Your assistance has been invaluable and the level of communication via phone and email exceptional. I just want to say thanks on behalf of myself and Susan for your professional approach, courteous manner and assistance.” - Peter and Sue

The friendliest place on earth Long-time local Col Wheeler has had a love of the Noosa Shire since he first came to visit in 1950. Like so many of us, Col fell in love with the landscape, the people and that special something Noosa offers everyone who comes to see the piece of paradise we live in. Col wanted to say thank you for the memories. THANK you, Noosa I was a teenager in 1950 when my unique association with Noosa and district began. A high school friend invited me to spend a fortnight with his family at Edgar Bennett’s house on Gympie Terrace. A year later, impressed by my report of Noosa, particularly of the friendliness of members of the Massoud family, a few school friends joined me in camping at Munna Point. Unlike now, that area was completely undeveloped - just large trees on the banks of the Noosa River and Weyba Creek. One of my lasting memories is of being justifiably confident that we could catch our fish breakfast every day in the river. That episode would lead on to an extraordinary adventure at Double Island Point lighthouse - stranded with others for a week during a wrecking cyclone; fishing for food with an amateur net; astonished by mountainous waves crashing against the cliff face; and being supported by friends. When we were rescued, we were rewarded with free rum milkshakes. The story attracted nation-wide coverage and has since been featured in local newspapers and on radio. ABC TV also showed a relevant documentary in 2008. In 1958, my wife Cecily and I spent our honeymoon at the Tewantin Royal Mail Hotel. We then holidayed annually at Noosaville or Noosa, and later, continued to do so with our children Peter, Wendy and Linda. Fifty years on, our family enjoyed a celebration of our golden wedding anniversary, which for sentimental reasons, was held at the Royal Mail Hotel. I recall playing squash on courts that Ray and Sandra Garraway had built in 1970. That site is now occupied by Noosa Junction’s IGA.

During working days, I was sent to start a new campus of what was then the Brisbane College of Advanced Education, on the Sunshine Coast in 1989. This was the forerunner of what is now the University of the Sunshine Coast. Relevant separate newspaper articles appeared with quotes like: “BCAE Sunshine Coast co-ordinator Col Wheeler is busy getting all things ‘ship shape’ at the college’s new campus in Matthew Street, Nambour”, and “Sunshine Coast campus registrar is somewhat of a pioneer when it comes to taking on new challenges”. Cecily and I moved from our Brisbane home and settled in the Noosa Shire at Peregian Beach. The new area generated opportunities to take on rewarding past-times through contact with neighbours, surf club members, U3A people and athletes like Ron Mantel who owned Lazuli Blue Cafe, Sunshine Beach Road. I headed up a successful footy tips competition locally, wrote over 6000 trivia questions and answers for an organisation that no longer exists, constructed a database for the Neighbourhood Watch’s records and invented a still-functioning name and logo of its regular newsletter, enjoyed running in local fun runs, and served on the U3A committee as well as being one of U3A’s tutors. I also wrote minutes of meetings for well-known groups and provided a printed program with logo for an Oasis group. Despite the 60-plus years change of Noosa’s landscape, its capacity for nurturing friendships remains. To be part of Noosa has been a joy.

Christopher Wayne and Mike Tyler don’t need sleeves to pull off some awesome magic.

live today NOOSA’S LIFESTYLE GUIDE

Mix of magic and nudity By JOLENE OGLE FRESH from filming naked magic with Steve-O from Jack Ass, Christopher Wayne of the Naked Magicians sat down with Noosa Today to talk everyday nudity, magic tricks and disappearing lighters. Christopher can remember the first time he was introduced to magic and it was love at first sight. “My grandpa used to smoke. He had a cigarette lighter and he made it disappear. He pulled it out from behind my ear. I have a very distinct memory of the day he did that for me,” he said. “It was sweet. He used to tape stuff on TV for me and my brother to watch – it was his grandpa thing. He taped a David Copperfield special and I could not believe it. I watched that thing a thousand times.

“

There was this nervous moment when we had to take our jocks off …

“That was effectively what got me into magic when I was eight or nine and I’ve loved it ever since. For Mike and I both, it’s just a huge passion for us.” Christopher and his partner in crime and nudity, Mike Tyler, spent a year writing what would become their most successful show yet, The Naked Magicians. Christopher said the show had enjoyed such great success because Australians just love a bit of nudity. “We’ve done about 45 shows around Australia and every single

one has sold out, and the reason is there has never been a magic show in the world like this,” he said. “We learnt through Puppetry of the Penis busting out that Australia has an appetite for it. “The success of Puppetry shows us that Australians are cheeky, are naughty and we can all have a laugh about that stuff. It’s a celebration of being real, of being cheeky and being naughty.” The former Arnott’s factory worker, who lost 15 kg before hitting the stage for the first time, maintains

he and Mike are not exhibitionists. “This show has brought us out of our shell in regards to being naked,” he said. “I’m definitely more comfortable with being naked and getting my gear off is easier.” But it certainly took some getting used to. “I remember our first ever photo shoot for the show. That was the first time Mike and I took our gear off around each other and with other people in the room,” he said. “There was this nervous moment when we had to take our jocks off and we looked at each other and thought this is the moment. We dropped our dacks and we haven’t looked back since.” Christopher said life has changed since he became a Naked Magician. “Women are definitely more

forthcoming,” he said. And their success has taken them by surprise. “If someone had told me that six months down the track I would wake up and see my bum on TV, I wouldn’t have believed it,” he said. “I feel very fortunate. I’ve worked my butt off but I’m very fortunate to be doing this.” You can catch The Naked Magicians 18+ show at The J for one night only on 8 August, at 7.30pm. Christopher has promised a show you will never forget with the magicians attempting a trick that will involve only the audience, and not the magicians themselves. We’re intrigued. Tickets are available from $42. You can grab your ticket online at www. noosa.qld.gov.au/thej or www.thenakedmagicians.com.au or drop into The J, 60 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads.

No ripples in wavepool Life of

brine PHIL JARRATT SUNNIE Coast wave park - fact or fantasy? Maybe it’s a case of boy-who-cried-wolf syndrome, or maybe it’s because if it happens south of Coolum, we just don’t care, but the announcement more than a week ago that the Sunshine Coast is to become host to Australia’s first legitimate surfing wave pool seems to have received minimal local coverage. The $90 million Sunshine Park, incorporating water slides, hotel, shops, restaurant and holiday village is to be built on a 24-hectare site at Glenview, in close proximity to existing theme parks and attractions Australia Zoo, Big Kart Track and Aussie World, and according to developer David Baird, it will be open by 2016. But don’t hold your breath. The park concept is apparently supported by Sunshine Coast Destination Ltd and Surfing Australia, and planning applicant Waterplay Pty Ltd was apparently involved in the construction of Malaysia’s Sunway Lagoon wave park, but we’ve been promised (or threatened with, depending on your point of view) wave parks before and nothing has eventuated, probably because of the difficulty in marrying corporate objectives with the extremely difficult and horrendously expensive science of effective wave delivery. While it is not that difficult to build a pool and create waves in it - and developers have been doing it around the world since Big Surf Arizona reared its ugly head in the mid-1960s it is debatable that anyone has yet built a wave pool capable of recreating the essential elements of an oceanic wave that constitute good surf. Wave Garden in northern Spain is probably the closest to having achieved that, but the quality of the wave still falls short of the basic requirements for a surfing contest to be conducted on it. And this is the all-important consideration for anyone developing a wave pool, because the International Surfing Association, with 85 member countries, is edging ever closer to meeting IOC member requirements, and if surfing is to become an Olympic sport, a new wave pool will be built every four years to accommodate it. Waterplay’s planned wave pool at Glenview will be a Greg Webber model, and the surfboard shaper-turned-inventor seems to have emerged as the only frontrunner in serious surfing pool design, since the Kelly Slater Wave Company went very quiet after bailing on an over-ambitious development planned for the Gold Coast hinterland as the developer went belly-up ... and I don’t mean on his surfboard. Prior to that, Webber and Slater were firing volleys across each other’s bows, via spokespeople in Kelly’s case, while the patent attorneys rubbed their hands together with glee. The Slater and Webber wave models had differences and similarities, but what they both shared was a reasonable degree of credibility.

The boffins are still arguing the finer points of physics, but most people felt that either system would produce reasonable surfing waves. And Webber’s practical experiments on the Clarence River seemed to give him the edge. Webber told Swellnet.com last week that the Sunshine Coast Webber Wavepool would have the potential to create two-metre waves, and unlike other artificial waves they would have no trough and so create a barrel that surfers want to ride. Up until this week’s droughtbreaking pulse, I am sure there were quite a few Noosa surfers who would have made the drive down the highway and paid the entry fee to ride some two-metre quality waves, but just how many surfers will resist the theme park artificiality of the whole experience remains to be seen. Six months ago, when his partnership with David Baird was announced, Webber claimed he could produce a 15-second ride on a quality wave for less than a dollar in energy costs, and that would enable him to charge $35 for “10 beautiful waves where no one hassles you”. There are some surfers, so I’m told, who reckon that surfing is better than sex, and at these rates, it’s probably quite a bit cheaper than the commercial kind too. I guess we’ll find out if this wave park, unlike the others that have been promised, actually gets built. Surf festival 2015 up and running Sponsors and supporters turned out in force last Friday night for the launch of the Noosa Festival of Surfing’s 2015 campaign at Cafe Le Monde. Guests munched on delicious pizza slices and nachos, and slurped XXXX Summer and champagne while they watched a highlights video from last March and learned about the program for next year. The PJ Burns Festival Village on the sand at First Point will again be the entertainment hub, with the XXXX Summer Beach Bar open every afternoon and evening with free live music presented on the Zinc 96 Stage. With the incredible global publicity generated this year, organisers expect all competitor divisions to fill quickly with this year’s record 607 entries (25 percent from overseas) likely to be surpassed. The 2015 Festival will run from 7 to 14 March, and discounted entries in amateur divisions are now available until the end of the month at the new-look, rebranded website, noosafestivalofsurfing.com

Gripping festival By JOLENE OGLE THE Sunshine Coast music scene is set to burst with Noosa’s first major music event scheduled for September; local bands are being snapped up for international tours and new albums dropping most weeks. Local band In2nation will launch their second album, GroundUp, tomorrow night at the Solbar after a nine-year hiatus which saw the guys travel around the world. Leadman Mick Wallace said their new album featured 11 new songs inspired by their travels but stayed true to their unique and infectious blend of funk, reggae, soul and rap. GroundUp will be available in iTunes from Friday. In2nation in action.

Sunshine Coast favourites OKA have taken a big leap with the band currently in Canada embarking on their maiden international tour. OKA, who describe their music as Australian earth music with sublime dimensions, started with shows in the UK before landing in Canada this month for a further stack of shows. The Originals Music Festival is also bringing big name acts to town, mixed with a wide variety of local talent. Sticky Fingers will headline the one-day festival on 13 September, but the local talent will prove just as popular with favourites such as Carl Wockner, Soula and In2nation all performing on the day.

Rascals to headline concert SYDNEY band the Bootleg Rascals will headline this weekend’s Peregian Originals concert alongside some great local talent. Fresh from touring with Originals Music Festival headliners Sticky Fingers, the cheeky band made up of Carlos Lara on vocals and guitar, Jimmy Young on lead guitar, Scott Grills on bass and synth and Jack Gray on drums, will now drop into Peregian as part of their nation-wide tour. A funky blend of hip hop and indie, these guys know how to rock the stage and calm it down with some mellow tunes - perfect for the Peregian Originals atmosphere. Bootleg Rascals will be joined by Christian Patley, Timbah and Royal Artillery on Sunday at the Peregian Beach park, right out the front of the Surf Club, from 1pm. If you’ve never been to a Peregian Originals concert, then this is a great chance to catch funky bands while sitting in the sun with friends and family, for free.

On rice, nice one Dmitri Dmitri Simons from Belmondos Organic Market shares his Noosa Smokehouse inspired tasting plate recipe. This one is sure to impress your friends. Ingredients: Sushi rice. The best rice to use is medium grain or specific sushi rice. You can also mix through some black rice to add colour, texture and flavour. 250ml rice wine vinegar 20ml Mirin 125g raw sugar Knob of fresh ginger Shades Cafe and Wine Bar’s omelette creation made with chorizo and baked beans.

Spoilt for choice The Australian Cafe of the Year awards have been launched and already the Noosa Shire has an impressive 10 cafes running for the top prize. THE competition is part of the Heinz and Don groups, with all entrants required to create a dish using products from the brand’s range. Shades Cafe and Wine Bar, Noosa Junction, is among the nominees and is quietly confident with their breakfast omelette made from fresh eggs, chorizo, baked beans and cherry tomatoes - the perfect meal to start your day. Other local cafes in the running include Bella Rustique Cafe, Noosa Heads; Cafe Vincino, Tewantin; Canteen Cafe, Noosa Junction; Chocolat Patisserie and Cafe, Noosa; Deck Cafe, Sunshine Beach; Fig Tree, Eumundi; Grind Cafe, Noosaville; Hard Coffee, Noosa; and Pomona Mountain Stop Cafe, Pomona. Nominations are open until 18 August, so there is still time to nominate your favourite cafe for the inaugural award and get them in the running for the $5000 cash prize for regional winner or the top prize of a Renault Clio valued at $32,000 for the Australian Cafe of the Year. Public voting will kick off on 1 September until 9 October, giving locals a chance to get behind their favourite cafes and boost them into the final round.

Method: 1. Simply mix all ingredients together in a pot and heat to dissolve the sugar. Set aside to cool and remove the knob of ginger. Cook 1.5kg of rice and add the liquid to the rice when hot. Let the rice cool. 2. Squash rice onto Nori and add your favourite ingredients. (Dmitri suggests using tempura, so try tempura vegetables, prawns, chicken, or his favourite, soft-shell crab.) 3. Roll the sushi and cut into sections. Children love to roll, and it’s easy to do. 4. Serve your rolls with a selection of Noosa River Smokehouse products such as fresh or cured salmon or cold smoked salmon and finish with mayo, wasabi, soy, pickled ginger and finely chopped seaweed.

Swimsuit times are looming WINTER is fast retracting and before we know it, it will be time to pull out your swimsuit and get to the beach. You can be bikini ready all summer with Riverside Beauty’s IPL hair removal treatment. Riverside Beauty’s Sharon Cassidy shares her insight into the permanent hair removal technique. “Quantum Intense Pulse Light (IPL) is the most advanced technology for permanent hair reduction,” she said. IPL uses a method known as selective photothermolysis, which involves disabling hair growth mechanisms by raising the temperature of the hair follicle high enough to damage the germinative cells while protecting the surrounding tissue offering a safe comfortable treatment. According to Sharon, one of the most common concerns from clients is managing unwanted hair, but IPL can make unwanted hair a problem of the past.

“

The treatments really are fast and effective … Sharon Cassidy

“IPL offers amazing results,” she said. “With IPL there is a break of about 4-6 weeks between treatments so now is the time to start so you can avoid the sun and are ready for a hair free summer. The treatments really are fast and effective.” Book in now for your basic bikini or underarm IPL treatment, normally $90 now $77. Call Riverside Beauty on 54499744 for a free consultation.

Don’t go flaky for winter FOR many of us, the cool winter weather brings dry, itchy skin. In some cases, flaking, cracking or even eczema can occur. Experts say that turning on the heat inside makes dry skin worse, and it doesn’t matter if you heat your home with oil, wood or electricity. So how can you beat the itch this winter? Moisturise, wear sunscreen and for bad skin, seek advice from a specialist. Heading to the local pharmacy to find a moisturiser that is perfect for your skin can be

hit and miss. If you have sensitive skin prone to eczema or other skin conditions, then you can save yourself further pain and discomfort by checking in with a skin specialist or dermatologist. If you’re lucky to avoid inflamed skin conditions, then make sure you’re choosing a good quality moisturiser. Always spot test on a small part of your body to make sure your skin doesn’t react in a bad way. Once you have chosen a moisturiser, make sure you apply it regularly throughout the cooler months. For super

soft feet and a little relaxing treat, dab a rich moisturiser on your heels and other dry areas on your feet before slipping on a pair of soft cotton socks. The socks will help keep the moisture in and prevent the dry skin from turning into cracked skin. Sit by the heater and relax while the moisturiser does all the work. Experts also recommend keeping up with your sunscreen application even though the sun might not be out. You can keep on top of sun protection by using makeup and body lotions that contain sunscreen.

Sun guard still a focus in winter IT MAY be cold outside, but it’s still important to slip, slop, slap with more than 97 per cent of adults putting themselves at increased risk of skin cancer during winter. Cancer Council QLD’s latest research, Self-Reported Health Survey Status survey, reports shocking results with only 2.5 per cent of adults practising sun safe behaviours in winter. The survey found adults aged 18-24 years are the least SunSmart, with less than 1 per cent practising all five winter sun safety behaviours. Adults aged 25-34 years are the most vigilant with sun protection with 4 per cent following all five recommendations. Cancer Council Queensland spokesperson Katie Clift said the relaxation of SunSmart habits was likely due to misconceptions about chilly temperatures and vitamin D requirements. “Don’t believe the miscon-

ceptions – sun protection is required when the UV Index is 3 and above – even on cloudy, cold and overcast days,” she said. “Here in Queensland, the UV Index is 3 and above allyear round – so sun protection is required all-year round.” Ms Clift said the Cancer Council was concerned about misconceptions surrounding vitamin D and sun exposure in Queensland leading to reduced sun protective behaviours or even intentional sun exposure. “We only need a small amount of sun exposure to receive adequate vitamin D, and we usually get it through incidental exposure - putting clothes on the washing line, or walking to collect the mail,” she said. “It’s crucial that Queenslanders make sun safety a priority in winter – our state has the highest rates of skin cancer in the world.”

Each year in Queensland 133,000 non-melanoma skin cancers and 3000 melanoma skin cancers are diagnosed. Cancer Council Queensland is warning parents to be particularly vigilant about keeping their kids SunSmart, as the school term ends and the winter sporting season begins. “Queenslanders need to make sun safety a priority, and ensure they use all five recommended sun-protective behaviours to best reduce their risk of skin cancer,” Ms Clift said. “Slip on protective clothing, Slop on SPF30 or above broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen, Slap on a broad-brimmed hat, Seek shade and Slide on wraparound sunglasses. “Parents, stay vigilant about your child’s sun protection. Extended sun exposure in childhood greatly increases the long-term risk of skin cancer.”

Remember to be SunSmart this winter.

DENTALHEALTH

In Short… don’t be scared DR LESLEY Short knows that visiting the dentist can be scary, but there’s no need to worry with Sunshine Coast Orthodontics’ caring and friendly team. With more than 20 years’ experience, Dr Lesley and the team discuss all treatment options with clients before commencing any work, including braces, invisible braces, invisalign and functional appliances, so patients can choose what suits them best along with spreading payments over the course of their treatment. Sunshine Coast Orthodontics provide costeffective treatment plans, with the added bonus of no charge for follow up consultations until the chosen treatment is commenced. Children from six-yearsof-age can be assessed for future treatment needs and this helps manage the family budget, with treatments timed for maximum effect and limited inconvenience. The friendly team at Sunshine Coast Orthodontics are waiting to accord families smiles they can be proud of. Sunshine Coast Orthodontics is located at suite 11, 1st floor, 2 Quamby Place, Noosa Heads. Phone 5447 5040 to make an appointment.

Make it no big deal THIS year Dental Health Week is concentrating on babies and toddlers. It is important to start dental visits early and attend these regularly rather than waiting for a painful and often costly problem to occur. The Australian Dental Association recommends visits should start from 12 months of age or shortly after the eruption of first baby teeth. Children who have regular check-ups and are comfortable with visiting the dentist tend to have fewer dental problems, and are less likely to be afraid of dental treatments. The team at Sunrise Dental have shared some of their tips to help get the little ones ready for the dentist. Some children may feel anxious or frightened about visiting the dentist, so parents should treat the appointment as an ordinary event rather than a “big deal”. It may be helpful if the child sits on the parent’s lap during the check-up, instead of in the dental chair. To prepare them for their first visit to the dentist it is a good idea to take them along to mum or dad’s dental check-up so they can watch what happens and get used to the surgery environment, the smells and the sounds. If they can see their parents being calm during an examination it will reassure them. To help promote Dental Health Week Sunrise Dental is offering free check-ups to new patients aged between 12 months and three years, for appointments made before the end of August. Please call Sunrise Dental on 5455 4511 to make an appointment.

DENTALHEALTH

Seven tips for Dental Health Month

good. It just means not having as many. Food and drink that are high in sugar can damage teeth enamel and cause cavities. So go easy on lollies, soft drinks and sugary juices. After consuming anything sugary or starchy, rinse the mouth out with water. This helps to remove any traces of food debris, which can provide a breeding ground for bacteria that will attack teeth. 4. Eat healthier Not only will eating more vegetables and fruit make it easier to

meet your health goals but it can help to remove plaque. Crunchy vegies brush off plaque from teeth when chewed. They also contain less sugar compared to processed foods. 6. Don’t skip the evening brush The evening brush is important for removing old food particles and reducing bad breath. It can also decrease the amount of bacteria in the mouth, making it a crucial step in the cleaning regime. That said, about 30 per cent of Aussies neglect to brush twice daily, with most skipping the evening brush,

according to the Australian Dental Association. 7. Floss with a C-shape Flossing is a crucial step in oral hygiene routine because it removes small food particles and plaque from areas a toothbrush can’t reach. To get the most out of flossing start with about 45cm of floss and wind it around each middle finger, leaving an inch or two to work with. Simply slide this gently up and down your teeth, curving it in the shape of a ‘C’ to make sure it reaches between the gum tissue.

QUEENSLAND dental patients, including some who have been waiting up to 10 years, have a new reason to smile, with the Queensland Government beginning a state-wide blitz on dental waiting lists that has reduced the list to zero. Health Minister Lawrence Springborg said the waiting list for people getting their teeth fixed under Labor blew out to 10 years. But in just two years, the LNP government has ensured that the number of dental patients whose wait exceeds the accepted benchmark time has dropped by 100 per cent. “The former Labor Government lost control of Queensland Health and public dental patients were among those who suffered most,” he said. “When the LNP began its campaign to reduce public dental waiting lists, 62,513 Queenslanders were waiting more than two years. “That is now zero which is a remarkable achievement.” Mr Springborg went on to say that tooth decay was the most common of global diseases and that no Queenslander, for the first time since the 1990s, will now wait for general dental treatment.

1148618-CA32-14

FIGURES show that as many as 68 per cent of two to five-year-olds have never visited a dentist. An estimated 17 per cent of people who avoid certain foods due to dental related problems and that 1 million days of work are lost each year due to dental issues. August is Dental Health Month and this year Noosa Dental is doing its best to improve the oral health of the Noosaville community, starting with education. With oral health often left unspoken, Dental Health Month highlights the bigger impacts of people keeping their teeth and mouth clean and the small changes they can make to benefit mouths and overall wellbeing. Noosa Dental has seven top tips to remember this Dental Health Month. 1. Commit to a regular dental routine Along with brushing your teeth for two minutes twice a day, it’s important to combine flossing into the mix. Flossing prevents plaque build-up by removing left-behind food particles that may be stuck between teeth and gums. A sufficient clean maintains oral hygiene and flossing will fight bacteria growth and periodontal disease. 2. Don’t skip visits to the dentist It is recommended that patients visit their dentist for a dental assessment every six months. They’re opportunities for the dentist to examine teeth and mouth and identify any problems as early as possible. Dental Health Month provides a good reminder to check the status of dental hygiene and receive a professional clean. 3. Cut down on sugars Reducing sugar intake doesn’t mean giving up favourite treats for

“There should, of course, be one or even two sand sculptors (with permits and insurance given) as the children are so entranced by the sandcastles,” she said. “Also workshops for the young (and not so young) they could be run during school holidays.” Ms Balderstone suggested famed sand sculptor Dennis Massoud could help develop the idea. “We have one of the best sand sculptors in the world, Dennis Massoud (it was his

mermaid I saw) and we could host sand sculpting competitions,” she said. Meanwhile, a decision on Arron McCormick’s permit application remains in limbo as Noosa Council continues to stall a “yes” or “no” on the application.

NO FLOWERS BY REQUEST

NOOSA local Patricia Balderstone has raised the idea of hosting a beach sculpting workshop on Noosa Main Beach. Ms Balderstone said she was concerned that without a single sandcastle sculpture on the beach, following the removal of the sandcastle man Arron McCormick, children would not get to experience the wonders of sand sculpture. “I think sand sculpture, regardless of the arguments around Arron, is a good thing on Noosa Main Beach,” she said. “And maybe instead of having a busker building sandcastles for money, perhaps the idea could be turned into a monthly workshop for kids.” Ms Balderstone said she first saw a sand sculpture of a beautiful mermaid on Main Beach many years ago. “Sandcastles and more importantly sand sculpturing on Main Beach is totally in place,” she said. “The beach is not just for surfers with their boards to check the waves, visitors to spread and acquire a tan, joggers, retirees to promenade; it is also a huge mass of golden sands eroded and deposited by the ocean and can be worked to create visually interesting art works.” Ms Balderstone said humans have been working with stone, sand, metals and wood to create gems since the dawn of time.

Challenge adds up to fun times THE World of Maths Roadshow came to visit Sunshine Beach State School last week where students from Years 4 and 5 experienced maths, hands on. Solving patterns, puzzles and working in groups to problem solve many chal-

lenges was all part of the fun. World of Maths presenter John De Sousa provided engaging and challenging activities to extend students’ problem solving capabilities.

Year 4 teacher Jane Lethlean said it was wonderful to see the students so engaged in their learning and working together to help solve the many challenges. “One very excited Year 4 student even said it was the best maths ever,” she said.

Guinness aspirant a winner In the

ditch COOROY BOWLS NEW member Brian Mitchell had his first official game on Saturday and played extremely well while also receiving coaching from Bevan Mahoney who partnered him. He has also kindly agreed to sponsor the next Cooroy Community Bowls Day. Thank you Brian and welcome to the club. Overall winners on Saturday were Rosslyn Morgan and Ric Sorrensen. Runners-up were Julie Ainscough and Maureen Bottomley. Chris Thomas, who is raising funds for the Cancer Foundation and attempting a Guinness Book of Records challenge, played Lynne Hateley-James in a ten-end single match. Chris has been averaging three different clubs a day, so has had plenty of practice and was the victor. With a good crowd to cheer them on, it was a wonderful interlude for the Saturday games. Winter Suns was well supported on Sunday afternoon. The last game in this small competition will be on 17 August, commencing at 1pm. It looks like a couple of regulars will take home the prize money. Tuesday Jackpot Pairs winners were husband-and-wife team Ian and Sandra Robinson. Runners-up were Roley Hassall and Roger Linklater. We would like to acknowledge Cooroy Harvest Fresh who is sponsoring us each week with vouchers. Until next week, happy bowling. – Julie Ainscough POMONA BOWLS THE week started on a high note with two of the club champion ladies teams, the fours and the pairs, making it through to the finals of the Division Champion of Champion event where the pairs team of Elizabeth Dewhirst and Jennie Smith defeated Ruth Greentree and Gloria Emery. Elizabeth played brilliant lead bowls through out the two days of the competition putting Pomona on the front foot end after end. Many congratulations to the team for this great win. The district finals will be played at Albert Bowls Club on Thursday 7 August. Unfortunately the week closed on a bit of a low note as the men’s pennant results were not as we had hoped. Pomona v Albert 1st Div lost 48-69. 3rd Div lost 25-42.

This was probably a trial grand final run and the close score line characterised by several nail bitting five setters shed no light on who will take out the honours come trophy night. Avengers (R. Gore, R. Wheller , O. Estraviz) d Fireballs (B. Blakemore, A. Munro, C. Barry) 8/4. Division 2 Pirates (C. Galea, L. Gore, J. Mikkelson) d Stingrays (J. Campbell, D. Brown, R. Yao) 7/5.

Don’t write off the Pirates who are peaking at the right time. Young Lucas is quickly coming of age demonstrated by a spirited defeat of Jonas. Serpents (J. Murphy, W. Byrne, M. Duncan) d Torpedoes (S. Campbell, P Clive, S. Lidden) 9/3. Team ladder leader the Serpents seem to be even stronger as Mathew continues to climb up the handicap rankings.

Netball carnival a success FOR the first time in more than a decade, Noosa District Netball Association hosted a Junior Club Carnival at its Tewantin Courts. On 20 July, almost 500 junior netballers representing club teams from around the Sunshine Coast revelled in the perfect conditions for a day of competitive roundrobin fixtures. Noosa District Netball Association president Therese Tati said 39 club teams from Noosa, Coolum, Gympie, Nambour and Caloundra took part in the event which was sponsored by Noosa-Tewantin RSL and The Reef Hotel.

“It’s great to see so many young girls coming out to join in the fun of the Club Carnival. It’s a fantastic experience for them to play teams from neighbouring associations and get a taste of the competitive carnival atmosphere. Everyone who competed said they were looking forward to us holding another carnival next year,” she said. QLD U19s State Netball player Emma Tickner also made a guest appearance at the carnival to present trophies to the winners and runners-up in each division - much to the delight of the youngsters.

Cooroora Warriors U10s won their round: Back row: Jessica Etheridge , Zahlie Robson , Charlie Delandelles, Ella Berridge, Stella Rawlinson-Furner and Ella Wilkinson. Front row: Mikayla Hobden, Lucinda Wilson , Jaime Delandelles, Leticia Wilson.

Noosaville Diamonds U13s came in runner-up: Back row: Kelsey Marick, Jaimie Dwyer, Kayla Gale, Zoe Igoe-Josephs and Mia Fitzgerald. Front row: Pip Dwyer, Lily Canavan and Jaime Murfin.

Harry Opie were steady down back the entire game. Experienced inclusion Shane Davis’ attack on the footy was also noticeable in a very rewarding win for the Tigers securing second spot and a week one home final. This Saturday, Noosa plays cellar dwellers Caboolture at Weyba Road and I know the Tigers coaching staff will be looking to see the continued team orientated form the Tigers are showing heading into the business end of the year. And of course there are still spots up for grabs especially with the reserves playing some super footy in recent weeks to now sit in third position.

JUNIORSPORTROUND-UP Can’t Beat noah’s 100m try Under 7 White PlAyer of the Match went to Zahn Bruggy with his mammoth goal kicking effort, sending the ball flying over the black dot like it was filled with helium instead of air. Under 8 GreAt defence with some awesome tackles being made all across the park. in attack, they showed awesome passing and running leading to several great tries. it’s so hard to name individual players each week for their efforts when the whole team is playing so well. our Player of the Match went to our tough running forward lachlan Johnson. Under 9 BlUe tries went to Joel Broomhall and nathaniel noe, but, player of the Match went to the whole team this week. Under 9 White the boys backed up and played against Coolum at home. Another great game played by the boys, with a hard and tough game being dished up by both sides. this game’s Player of the Match award went to daniel Boulton. Great tackling by the boys and some big runs from Jake, Jackson, riley, Charlie and Caleb. A special mention goes to Kaleb hart for his tackling and tank-like defence. Under 11 BlUe the boys played the top side in Kawana White and learnt some tough lessons in football this week. Man of the Match goes to Jack o’Connell who never gave up, and did tonnes of work. A big effort in defence also from Kaiden Collins. Better luck next week in our pool game. Under 12A A toUGh game for the Pirates U12As against a big Palmwoods pack. the whole team deserves praise for their great defensive efforts over the past weeks, having let in only two tries in their last three games. tackle King was Willem lindsay with 17 tackles. hit-up Kings were Willem lindsay and Kye Vincitorio with 10 hit-ups. Man of the Match was the five eighth - JJ. Under 13A UP Front, having all three props available and hitting their best form meant the Pirates dominated in the middle with Marcus hooper getting back to his best form and travis Garahy making huge metres through the middle with some bullocking runs. reef Carlile spent some time at hooker today and had some clever touches and much-needed fifth tackle variation. Kurt Gadd crossed for two contrasting tries. one a 90-metre effort, the other a dive over from dummy half only to be topped by noah’s 100- metre under-the-post match winner. Under 13C the side was behind for most of the game when it lost hayden robinson, then roderick Mawn who will be out for the rest of the season. But the boys showed that with two players they could do this and dug deep to win in the last minutes of this nail-biting game. tries went to Chase McChesney (1), Corey Mackenzie (3) and Jake smith (2) who also received the Man-of-theMatch award. Under 14B Best for the boys this week were Michael Bailey who scored a sneaky try down the blindside, Will irvine and Kyle Jarvis who both tackled all day, Marcus MaxwellJames who ran and tackled at 100 per cent and lachy Proctor who stepped into the unfamiliar role of fullback at the last minute and didn’t let anyone down.

Lachlan Neville of the Under 8s takes down the competition.

Dolphins wins outweigh losses U6 Fins 30 d Brothers 25 it WAs a fierce game full of tough defence and tactical play by both sides. Brendan slipped through the opposition to score the first try. the tagging by George, Gus, rory and Myles ensured the speedy swordfishes were held back from the try line on many occasions. Jaxon crossed on two occasions. rory and George and tana also scored a try apiece. Phoenix’s kicking and gutsy runs helped the fins gain ground on numerous occasions. dominos Pizza Player of the Match goes to George White. sCGs 45 d U6 reds 40 stoiC defence and blistering runs were the order of the day. try as they might, an organised Grammar outfit were unable to penetrate the midfield muscle of darcy, Conor, Jax and Charlie while out wide attacking options were stifled by the rush defence of Jaxon, Zac, harry and stirling. noah and Angus contributed well and had their best games to date. despite the running hard and straight, Grammar proved too strong for the noosa boys who showed great sportsmanship in defeat. domino’s Pizza Player of the Match was Jaxon Peermamode. UsC BArBAriAns 40 d U8 noosA reds 15 MACK led well scoring one try. Byron hunted the ball

taking opportunities forward and stopped a sure try. James had a great game with a barn-storming run forward. oscar put on a burst of speed to score and ran very hard defending. Will got away numerous times gaining good ground and impressed cleaning out and tackling low. Atticus burst through from a line out to score and tackled courageously. Joch went forward strong and low always making ground. Finnbar got into the thick of it pushing forward, providing ball security for his backs often picking it up himself to go forward. domino’s Pizza Player of the Match Kaleb is going from strength to strength. U9 reds 40 d MArooChydore 30 Another tough close game that saw noosa prevail against quality opposition. the noosa boys managed to keep their noses in front all game, but Maroochydore kept finding and when they did, the boys rose to the challenge. try scorers were Jackson four, two to Andrew one each to Bailey and reggie. the squad has now been undefeated for several weeks and that is testimony to the hard work of the coaches, involvement of the parents and most of all, the great attitude displayed by the boys. domino’s Pizza Man of the Match was harry hewitt. U9 Fins 40 d MAleny 20

Picture: JESS PALMER

MAleny proved to be stiff opposition in the freezing conditions at Witta and raced out to a 20-to-10 lead. once the boys warmed up on the field, they took control of the match and went on to record a very gutsy victory with a hat-trick to Flynn and one each to Fynn, Joel, leif, tom and Mack. the passing and defence in particular from all the boys was superb. domino’s Pizza Man of the Match was Flynn Charman. U10 reds 38 d GrAMMAr 7 it WAs an exciting and evenly matched game but the reds were strong, played like a team and performed very well. the forwards were quick to the breakdown and got the ball out efficiently to backs whose speed was too much for Grammar on the day. tries were scored by dominic young(1), Max ruster (3) and tom Auty (2). Four Conversions were kicked by Flynn o’Connor. tom Auty was awarded the domino’s Pizza Player of the Match for his two well earned tries. U10 Fins 67 d st AndreW’s 15 A sensAtionAl performance helped the Fins run in 11 tries and make it three wins in a row. Ashton put continual pressure on the opposition with solid forward play, and Jason burst through the line several times to help create try-scoring opportunities. soren made some crucial tackles to go with a solo try and the power of Joe 1148300-FA32-14

helped him notch up another try. Four tries to lockie and his link-up play helped oliver, James and ethan to go over for tries of their own. try scorers: lockie (4), Joe, soren, oliver, James, ethan, harrison and Jarrah. Conversions: Jarrah (3), soren, James and lockie. domino’s Player of the Match was Ashton hart. U13 noosA - 48 d MFAC 5 the noosa U13 dolphins were not going to let the Matthew Flinders U13 have a sniff of victory. led by domino’s Pizza Player of the Match tom with 28 points (4 tries, 4 conversions) the dolphins showed their class today. A magnificent display of running rugby by the boys which led to tries from liam (2), Jordan and yvahn. U14 dolPhins 48 d MArooChydore 7 FAntAstiC performance from the boys this weekend. the forwards dominated every facet of play, winning the scrums, lineouts and the rucks. noah, Jed Kai and Jesse ran through the Maroochydore pack. the backs enjoyed the space that the forwards created. While attack was excellent, the defence was outstanding, typified by a great tackle by Jack to shut down a break down the wing which looked to be a certain try. three tries to John who was outstanding, with one each to noah, Jesse, Alex, sameet and tom. Josh kicked four conversions. domino’s Pizza Player of the Match was Jayden Arca.

Festival ambassador Layne Beachley in action at this year’s Crick’s Noosa Festival of Surfing.

loved as the surfing events. “We’ve been very lucky and jagged good surf the past couple of years, but as well as that, people seem to love the vibe of the Festival Village on the beach, with live music and the bar rocking every night,” he said. “A lot of people from around the

world have realised that the Noosa Festival is one of the best family surfing holidays you can have.” Phil said the festival represents “world class surfing and world class fun.” To register for the 2015 NFOS, visit www.noosafestivalofsurfing.com.

It’s hot in the frying pan By JACK MANGROVE

RON LANE

WHEN you visit the Peregian SLSC and move amongst cadet members on either the first or third Sunday of each month, the respect that they hold for the man running the sausage sizzle in front of the clubhouse becomes apparent. All morning they come and go into the tent from which Rod Witham, Youth Development Officer for the Peregian club conducts his twice monthly fund raising business on behalf of the club. It is now two years since Rod, affectionately known as Rocket, started the sizzle and the funds raised have been very beneficial. Rod, who started his career in the Pacific club on the Gold Coast in 1971, is now in his tenth year of working with cadets. On his journey from the Gold Coast to Peregian, Rod spent some years in both the Metropolitan Caloundra and Sunshine Beach surf clubs before finally settling in Peregian in 2004. Speaking about his Sunday mornings Rocket said, “You know apart from the fund raising it is interesting to note the number of local kids, not cubbies, who have stopped to buy a sausage, have a chat and the next weekend come back and joined the club. “So for the club the benefits are definitely a two way street.” Probably the two major dates for the cadets are the etiquette night and the weekend visit to the surf club on Stradbroke Island. Etiquette night gives the cadets some added training in social behaviour while their visit to Straddie gives them a look at one of the few remaining traditional surf clubs in Australia – a club that still has a kitchen, kitchen duties, dormitories and most important for moral, nicknames for their members.

Both events were started by Rocket and his team and the visit to Straddie is now in its twelfth year. Recently as a sign of respect a large group of cadets and parents, both past and present, organised a surprise club barbecue at which Rod was presented with a new racing board painted in his favourite colour purple. When asked about the outlandish colour Rocket replied, “The kids know it’s my favourite colour… also it matches the colour of my car.” The board which was shaped by his good mate Mark “Chicken Legs” Jacobs, was in appreciation of his dedication and training of cadets both past and present. With Rocket re-elected to office for another season, the ongoing positive attitude amongst the young members of the Peregian can only be beneficial. As we have said many times before, the future of our clubs depends on our youth. Therefore in this aspect Peregian is definitely headed in the right direction. In the recently tabled Sun-

shine Coast Annual Report for the 2013/14 season, a paper entitled A Five Year Comparison of Operational Activities was presented and some of the information revealed was certainly worthy of note. For example in the 2009/10 season our lifesavers performed a total of 1078 rescues and 18,702 preventative actions. In 2013/14 season they performed only 779 rescues but the preventatives actions increased to a total 33,551. These figures tell us that the standard of our beach patrols is indeed very good. The preventative actions – in which the lifesaver moves to tell the swimmers they are heading into a dangerous situation, thus avoiding what would be a rescue problem – indicate that our patrols are fully alert and on the move. This is a factor that not only our organisation, but also the Queensland Tourism Board can take pride in. Having a high standard of beach safety is of the utmost importance to not only our community but also our visitors.

GOTTA Love Fishing on the Noosa River! The river has been a great place to while away a couple of hours this week, with some great results coming in. Flathead are again high on the score board with some good catches being taken from the shallower areas of the river. When you get onto a patch of flatties make sure you keep casting as the flathead are very social at this time of the year, and where there is one you will usually find a large female keeping company with a group of younger males. Soft plastics rigged with a heavier jig head will make sure that you are right in the strike zone for these delicious table fish. Another great table fish is the whiting, and there has been no shortage of these in the river lately. The frying pan is one of the hot spots in this river, as well as the area between Edward Street and James Street along Gympie Terrace. Worms, pippies and yabbies are all great baits to tempt a hungry whiting, with the last couple of hours of the run out tide the perfect time for a fish. On the beach things have been a little tougher with the wind over the last couple of days, but for those earlier last week there were some nice tailor up toward Teewah, the schools have been a little small as they make their way up to Fraser Island. Offshore, things are also been a little tougher but for those with larger boats that have been able to get out to the wider reefs, pearlies, snapper, cobia, sweetlip and the odd very tasty coral trout have been on the menu. For those anglers that are planning a trip offshore over the coming week, please take the time to get the latest info on the weather as we are expecting some higher winds and larger seas. On behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures!
