Net ban anger By JONATHON HOWARD LONG-TIME fisherman and Boreen Point resident Trevor Cleary has spoken of his disappointment in the Noosa Council for recommending a ban on commercial net fishing along the Noosa North Shore. Noosa Council carried a unanimous vote last week in favour of writing to Queensland Fisheries to recommend the ban during council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday, 23 October.

Mr Cleary claims the council failed to properly engage with him and the local fishing community and he has raised concerns with the way the matter was handled prior to council elections. “Your readers over the years have read where I have wanted a change of management for that fishery to be locals only and daytime operations in line with local beam trawl working times,” Mr Cleary said. Mr Cleary said many people in the fishing industry stood to lose 70

per cent of their incomes, should the State Government impose the ban. He said a daytime fishing restriction and locals only permit process would have solved the problem before it reached this point and not threatened local fisheries incomes. However, Cr Frank Pardon, who was one of the driving forces behind the motion, said the matter was in the hands of the State Government not Noosa Council. “I understand Mr Cleary’s concerns and we have had many dis-

cussions around the matter, but all council has done is submit a letter of recommendation to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry,” he said. “This recommendation may or may not be adopted by the State Government – but it’s not something Noosa Council can decide.” Mr Cleary said he was disappointed in the consultation process which he believes started prior to the Noosa Council election. “Firstly let me take you back to

the council candidates’ forum held at the Cooroy hall prior to the council elections in November last year,” he said. “I went to this meeting to hear specifically of the candidates’ feelings/opinions on commercial fishing and not one of the candidates including the mayoral candidates of (Noel) Playford and (Ian) Petersen in their two-minute time mentioned commercial fishing.

Boundary battlers THE battle to re-align Noosa is fast becoming one of the toughest political stoushes since Noosa Council’s divorce from the Sunshine Coast Council last year. But whether an additional four suburbs can be pried away from the Sunshine Coast and handed to Noosa remains to be seen. Members of the two opposing groups have continued to raise their voices in support and in opposition to the re-boundary bid that would include Eumundi, Doonan, Verrierdale and Weyba Downs into Noosa Council. EDV Residents Group’ president Johanne Wright said one of the only ways to settle the ongoing argument was to allow the 3465 residents of the four suburbs a vote and “let the democratic process decide”. “This is not about the EDV Group or the Sunshine Coast Alliance Inc, on either side of this, it’s about what the majority of residents living in these four suburbs want,” she said. “That is why the best way forward is for the minister to appoint a change commissioner who would oversee a referendum to determine the public view.” Ms Wright said the EDV Residents Group would have been happy to disband, had the majority of residents opposed the move. “The only reason we are still here is because the majority of those residents are in support of this change and their views should take precedence,” she said. Ms Wright has also addressed several rumours which were voiced by members of the Sunshine Coast Alliance Inc, during the Noosa Council’s general committee meeting on Monday 20 October. Several Alliance members claimed Ms Wright was working in cahoots with members of the Noosa Parks Association and that she was under guidance by several Noosa councillors. Speaking with Noosa Today, Ms Wright said she had previously worked with Noel Playford during the Noosa Council de-amalgamation and she had also contributed funds to Cr Tony Wellington’s election bid. “These rumours are completely false and any claim I am working with the Noosa Council is a total figment of others' imagination,” she said. “Both of these are on the public record and have nothing to do with

the EDV Residents Group or the desire of members and local residents to join Noosa. “I felt passionately about the Noosa Council’s de-amalgamation and I wanted to support Cr Wellington in his run – that is all.” Ms Wright has also quashed rumours that she was considering running for council in the 2016 Noosa Council election. “I can tell you and your readers now, I cannot for a moment imagine running for council, and I do not have any plans to do so,” she said. Meanwhile, Sunshine Coast Alliance member Dom Massoni of Verrierdale has expressed his “disgust” at the way some of the EDV members have been referring to Sunshine Coast Alliance Inc president Steve Bennett in the media. “Those bad losers are now getting very dirty and personal, calling Steve nothing but a “big bad bully”,” he said. “All Steve and his group have done is reveal to everyone some very disturbing facts about the EDV group leaders connection to many Noosa groups. “Getting down to name calling and personal allegations won’t help with the poor opinion that the sunshine coast people already have of the EDV group. “The game is over EDV group, the referee (David Crisafulli) has blown the whistle, accept defeat gracefully; It’s the Australian way.” HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you agree that the EDV bid should be put to a vote?

Building approvals up DEVELOPMENT activity on the Sunshine Coast has grown by 27 per cent during the July to September quarter in building approval values over the same period last year. Approvals included residential developments at Meridan Plains and Sunshine Cove and a Coles complex and residential units at Sippy Downs. Sunshine Coast Council approved 636 lots during the first quarter of this financial year under the plan sealing process compared to the 179 lots during the same period last year.

NOOSA Council is considering renaming a section of David Low Way in an effort to clear up confusion. David Low Way between the intersections of Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads, and Edwards Street, Sunshine Beach, is commonly known as Sunshine Beach Road. The road officially appears as David Low Way in council’s records. However, Australia Post, emergency services and most maps and mapping systems recognise the stretch as Sunshine Beach Road.

Friday

Minister re-affirms stance on EDV bid THE Minister for Local Government David Crisafulli has reaffirmed his position around a re-boundary bid to include Doonan, Eumundi, Verrierdale and Weyba Downs into Noosa Council. Mr Crisafulli had previously said that in order for a re-boundary of Noosa Council and Sunshine Coast Council to occur, it would require an agreement from both councils. However, the minister created wide-spread confusion when a letter to members of the Sunshine Coast Alliance Inc, who oppose the re-boundary, surfaced in September.

THE proposed expansion of the Sunshine Coast Airport could pave the way for farmers to expand into markets around Australia and into the Asia-Pacific, according to airport general manager, Peter Pallot. Mr Pallot said because the length of the current main runway limits the weight that can be carried by aircraft, the capacity of the belly-hold space in flights out of the Sunshine Coast cannot be fully utilised. He said the expansion project, the subject of an Environmental Impact Statement on public exhibition until 13 November, encompassed the lengthening and widening of the runway on north-west/south-east alignment.

In the letter, Mr Crisafulli appeared to have quashed the EDV move despite having not received an application for the re-boundary. “You may be aware that I recently received confirmation from the Sunshine Coast Council mayor Mark Jamieson that on 24 July, council unanimously adopted a resolution not to support any request for a local government boundary change in respect of localities proposed by the EDV Residents Group,” the Minister’s letter read. “Therefore, as both councils do not agree to this proposal, a boundary change as suggested by the EDV Residents Group will not proceed.”

A spokesman for Minister Crisafulli said he rejected claims he had ruled out a boundary change, saying the minister has not had to make any decision because no submission had been received from the EDV Residents Group. CORRECTION: A Noosa Today article entitled “border dispute” (23 October) incorrectly stated that the Minister for Local Government was now appointing a boundary commissioner. This should have stated that in order for the EDV re-boundary to proceed, the minister would need to appoint a boundary commissioner - this step has not yet occurred.

Charges laid in fatal car crash A 32-YEAR-OLD man has been charged in relation to a fatal car crash at Lake Macdonald in 2007. Police will allege that about 1pm on 16 October 2007, a ute travelling east on Noosa-Cooroy Road at Lake Macdonald slowed down and stopped to turn right into a private driveway. Three vehicles travelling behind the ute also stopped to allow it to turn, but a fourth vehicle allegedly failed to stop in time, colliding with the rear of a vehicle, forcing it into the other lane where it was hit by another car. A 23-year-old Bli Bli man died at the scene. A Sunshine Coast man was charged with the dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death and will appear in the Caloundra Magistratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Court today.

Duo charged after break and enter TWO men have been charged following a break and enter in Cooroy on 18 October. Police will allege that around 7.40pm on the Saturday night, two men entered a Cooroy home and assaulted a number of people before leaving. A 37-year-old Cooroy man will face charges of break and enter in company, as well as assault occasioning bodily harm. A 34-year-old Cooroy man has been charged with break and enter in company. Both men will appear in the Noosa Magistratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Court on 11 November.

Reminder to lock up POLICE are reminding visitors and locals to lock their cars and take their valuables with them after a recent spike in car breakins.

A NOOSA author is on a mission to help parents understand the importance of nurturing their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain, by limiting access to â&#x20AC;&#x153;smart phonesâ&#x20AC;? and digital devices. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an age old saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;too much TV will rot your brainâ&#x20AC;?, but what about too much time on smart devices, computers and tablets? Jonathan Anstock is the author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teach the Children Well - Our Spiritual Investmentâ&#x20AC;?, which delves into the values of formal school education and the need to raise well-rounded and empowered children. Mr Anstock said he recently heard about a young child who picked up a picture book at a Queensland school and attempted to â&#x20AC;&#x153;swipeâ&#x20AC;? the front of the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book like an iPhone or touch screen device. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may come as a shock to some parents but this is the sort of behaviour that children are displaying after, in some cases, they have been glued to their phones or devices for hours,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mr Anstock will host a daylong workshop at the Noosa Tewantin Bowls Club on Friday 7 November, from 9.30am till 3pm. The workshop, titled Informa-

tronic media and electronic technology has been embraced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This rush into new electronic technologies is sometimes seen as the way ahead. Used judiciously, electronic technologies are great. But if they replace other technologies which develop important human faculties that are at the foundation of our human development, then we may be found guilty of rushing into unhealthy and dehumanising aspects of our development, particularly with young children.â&#x20AC;? Mr Anstock said he fears the imagination and engagement with the real human world need to be developed in the early years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These require three and four dimensional human experience two dimensional experience (ie screen time), does not, and cannot, replace the three and four dimensional experience.â&#x20AC;? Mr Anstock said neuroscientistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; were only now starting to support ancient wisdom in relation to child development - simply too much screen time is known to be harmful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to preserve childhood and place electronics in their rightful place,â&#x20AC;? he said. To find out more about the daylong workshop, or to get involved, phone (07) 5471 1752.

Drivers should go with the flow

Crackdown plan for safer nights By JOLENE OGLE BIG changes to legislation will see those who attack healthcare workers face 14 years’ jail, and a new trial will see paramedics helping out at watch-houses. The bold changes are part of the Safe Night Out strategy and are aimed at reducing the impacts of drug and alcoholfuelled violence that plague Queensland health workers every weekend. Health Minister Lawrence Springborg said thousands of health workers were punched, stabbed, bitten and spat on every year in Queensland while serving in their daily duties. “Assaults, whether they are physical or verbal, on our health workers will not be tolerated and the Queensland Government is appalled that even one nurse, doctor or

paramedic is attacked,” he said. “It is inexcusable and shameful behaviour.” Noosa Hospital CEO Jude Emmer said Noosa hospital had experienced no episodes of staff being assaulted within the emergency department. “Noosa Hospital and Ramsay Health Care takes the safety of its staff very seriously,” she said. “Our emergency department has security staff on duty during the busy, higherrisk shifts. Our staff are well trained in managing difficult situations.” In another move to help reduce the fallout of drugand alcohol-fuelled violence, detainees in watch-houses will be monitored and treated by a paramedic or nurse in a trial due to start on one of the

busiest nights of the year, New Year’s Eve. The program is set to cost $800,000 and 17 stations are participating, including Maroochydore watch-house, which receives many of the violent offenders from the Noosa region, and will have a paramedic on duty Friday and Saturday nights. Mr Springborg said watchhouses cope with people suffering from medical conditions and other impairments through the abuse of drugs and alcohol, and this initiative is designed to enhance their safety and health. “Having a trained paramedic or a nurse on hand will greatly assist members of the public held in custody and fully inform medical decisions regarding care, treatment and transport arrangements,” Mr Springborg said.

MOTORISTS should be on the lookout for changed traffic conditions around the Cooroy Southern Interchange being built as part of the $590 million Bruce Highway Cooroy to Curra Section A upgrade project. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Warren Truss said the project was progressing well and the traffic changes were required so the next stages of construction could begin. “The changes will enable earthworks to get underway for the new six kilometre northbound highway lanes between the Cooroy southern interchange and Cudgerie

Drive, as well as the upgrade of the Cooroy Southern Interchange,” Mr Truss said. “When complete, the project will deliver a new 13.5km four-lane divided highway between the existing interchange south of Cooroy and the upgraded section of highway near Federal. The Cooroy to Curra Section A upgrade is one of Queensland’s highest priority road projects, with work due to be completed in 2016, weather permitting.” Queensland Minister for Transport and Main Roads Scott Emerson said the project was an important part of the “Spruce the Bruce” campaign to provide better infrastructure and planning as part

of a strong plan for a brighter future for all motorists. “In late September, northbound traffic began merging to one lane, about one kilometre south of the previous merge location, to create a safer working zone for the construction team,” Mr Emerson said. “Motorists entering the highway southbound via the Myall Street on-ramp are urged to drive with care and stick to the reduced speed limit. Changed traffic conditions are also in place on the Cooroy southern interchange connection road and Holts Road while re-alignment works are carried out.”

Python gets revved up

The Healthy Waterways report card has listed a decrease in fish in local catchments.

By JONATHON HOWARD A PARISHIONER from St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Tewantin was given a fright when he uncovered a three-metre python stowed away under the engine bonnet of his car. Hot conditions have prompted our slithering friends to stir in their burrows and the python was spotted acting suspiciously in nearby undergrowth prior to the church service at 9am on Sunday, 26 October. Fortunately, parishioner and biologist Stuart Hyland of Sunshine Beach (pictured) volunteered to remove the snake. The snake wrapped itself around Mr Hyland’s arm before he grabbed the snake’s head. The python was taken back to the undergrowth and released unharmed – Mr Hyland was also ok.

Parishioner and biologist Stuart Hyland helped release a python in Tewantin after the snake appeared in a car engine bay. Church Minister Keith Mayers reported the incident had not discouraged worshippers, but he noticed more people were parking on the bitumen part of the car-park. If you encounter a snake and require a snake catcher you can phone Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24 hours a day on 0409 536 000 (fees apply).

Anger over netting ban From page 1 “Jobs and promoting business and generating shire income was the norm for most, if not all of the candidates. “Councillor (Frank) Pardon had not produced his election flyer prior to this public meeting and never mentioned commercial fishing during his two minutes at the microphone, yet when he did present his flyer after the public forums, item seven was to ban net fishing on the north shore to which he and I have argued rather heatedly over. “At the end of the public meeting in Cooroy along with other promising candidates were Cr

Tony Wellington and Cr Joe Juresovic, who approached me and stated they knew nothing of commercial fishing and would consult in me when and if controversial local commercial fishing issues presented should they win a councillor position. “So here we have the council promoting a blanket ban on that fishery and no call from either councillor – bewildering to say the least.” HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you agree with Noosa Council’s recommendation to ban commercial net fishing along Noosa North Shore? Send your letters to newsdesk@ noosatoday.net.au

Decrease in fish: report By JOLENE OGLE A LACK of rainfall and vegetation throughout south-east Queensland waterways is causing a decrease in fish, according to the latest Healthy Waterways report card. Released annually, the Healthy Waterways report card scores the local region’s freshwater catchments and estuaries, with Noosa’s score usually between an A and B grade. This year, most of the region’s freshwater waterways received lower scores, including Noosa’s freshwater score which dropped 0.02 per cent to a B grade. Listed among the reasons for the decline in score was a decrease in fish. The Healthy Waterways 2014 report card states the decline is a common issue across many of the 19 regions tested, with a lack of rainfall reducing the amount of water and habitats in streams.

A Healthy Waterways spokesperson said the score decline because of a decrease in fish was not due to overfishing. “Instead, a lack of rain particularly in Noosa has led to a lack of habitat,” the spokesperson said. The decline in waterway health comes as submissions close for the Department of Fisheries review of commercial fishing. Noosa Council made a submission to the department which recommended a ban on commercial fishing at Noosa North Shore to allow fish stocks to renew. But councillors voted down a request to make a last-minute amendment to the submission and add a request to investigate the long-term sustainability of Noosa River and lakes system. Noosa Council Mayor Noel Playford said in an earlier press release there was “no room for complacency”

when it came to looking after Noosa River. “We can always do better when it comes to caring for the river,” he said. “Addressing riverbank erosion and improving riparian vegetation are important issues, as is ensuring effluent from vessels is responsibly managed and not allowed to enter waterways.” Mayor Playford said everyone had a role to play in helping protect Noosa’s waterways. “Examples include fishing responsibly, ensuring any litter – such as plastic bags and drink bottles – is placed in bins and not permitted to enter the river,” he said. “Chemicals should never be disposed of down the drain and, if boating, ensure that you responsibly dispose of effluent to prevent it from polluting the waterway, while property owners should take steps to prevent sediment from entering creeks and waterways.”

It has been more than three years since the Junction has had so many retailer with two new shops open last week, one upstairs in Mitre 10 called Sticky Digital and a homeware/antique shop on Lanyana Way. Sadly, the brewery is not going ahead, however the whole shop has been leased with talk of a new restaurant filling the void. Wholesale Grains will also open in two weeks downstairs in the Mitre 10 building.

The renovations are expected to be complete by mid-November. Mr Edelman and his wife Donna have made radical change of career paths as he previously work in defence logistics and his wife is also in the Australia Armed Forces.

The couple are now hoping to turn customers into regulars and regulars into friends. “We’re really excited about the business and hope to use our passion to deliver the highest quality customer service for premium-coffee lovers,” he said. Mr Edelman already has a strong sense of the local community as part of the Sunshine Coast Rugby Union Referees Association for several years. The couple are also supported by their friendly team cook Paul Holding and barrista Tia Knott. To find out more contact Jamaica Blue Cafe (Noosa Civic Shopping) on (07) 5455 6145.

NOOSA businesses are hungry for faster and more reliable internet as the demand for instant information and reliable connectivity exceeds the capabilities of suppliers. In a bid to determine the scope of the issue, the Noosa Chamber of Commerce has launched an “internet service survey” to determine the number of businesses struggling with shonky internet speeds and persistent “drop-outs” in connectivity. The results from the survey will then be sent to internet service providers to assist with a higher quality of service. The online survey can be found via the Noosa Chamber of Commerce website and includes 12 specific questions around internet speeds, connection reliability and internet dependence from each business. Chamber president Sarah Fisher said the survey would provide the chamber with clear information about current internet service, speed and the desire for its improvement. “Your answers will help us clarify the current state, speed and quality of the internet service available in the greater Noosa region including: Noosa Heads, Noosaville, Tewantin, Cootharabra, Cooroy, Coolum, Peregian Beach, Peregian Springs, Doonan, Eumundi and everywhere in between,” she said. “We need to understand who needs a better internet service and the real figures drawn from this survey will contribute directly to the push for immediate improvement.” Mrs Fisher said the information would be made available to current and new ISP’s providing ADSL2+ in the area - provided survey participants agreed to share their responses. “All results will be considered and collated to contribute to real statistics that make it easier for the Noosa Chamber of Commerce to push for improvement in internet services for our region,” Mrs Fisher said.

Free ride for men’s shed By JONATHON HOWARD THE search is over for suitable Noosa-based premises in which to house the Noosa Men’s Shed organisation, after Unitywater came to the rescue. The water company offered the Noosa Men’s Shed a rent-free home for the next decade with water bills taken care of. Unitywater was left with two vacant buildings after consolidation field operations earlier this year, and the timing could not have been better. Unitywater CEO George Theo said he was happy for the blokes to put the property to good use with no strings attached - aside from mowing the lawn. Men’s group president Peter Magarry welcomed Unitywater’s offer of a free 10-year lease, which came with additional benefits.

“Because we are starting up from scratch, it will take us a while to establish a bank balance,” he said. “We’re grateful that Unitywater won’t charge us for rent or water, and they are looking after our power bills for a good while. “In return, we will keep the premises in good condition and the grass mowed.” Noosa Men’s Shed was aided by Councillor Joe Jurisevic who was making inquiries to house the organisation. Noosa’s Men’s Shed is part of the Australian organisation which works to connect men in their local areas to foster mateship, well-being and to share information. Anyone wanting to become involved in the Noosa Men’s Shed can contact Peter Magarry on 0418 276 140.

Members of the Noosa Men’s Shed were overjoyed with their new premises, thanks to Unitywater and Noosa Council.

Hefty fines for wandering dogs WANDERING off-leash dogs could cost their owners a lot of money in fines and impoundment charges says Noosa Council. The council warning follows a spike in complaints from local residents about irresponsible dog owners and their uncontrolled dogs, particularly in the Boreen Point and Sunshine Beach street areas. Unleashed and wandering dogs can be distressing for some residents as well as a threat to local wildlife, which is why council is urging dog owners to exercise respon-

sible pet ownership and make sure their dogs are on leads when off their properties. Owners who walk their dog off-leash, outside of designated off-leash areas, risk penalties in excess of $220. Council officers have stepped up patrols, particularly in those areas where complaints have increased significantly in recent weeks. The cost to owners to retrieve a dog from the pound is also in excess of $200, in addition to a daily charge to cover sustenance and care. Responsible dog owners always ensure their dogs are

on a leash when out walking, unless in designated off-leash areas. Noosa Shire has a number of designated dog off-leash areas which can be found on council’s websitewww.noosa. qld.gov.au under “Interactive Maps”. Owners of impounded unregistered dogs must register their pet before it can be released from the pound. For more information, contact the council on 5329 6500 or fastest via an online request form available at www.noosa. qld.gov.au

Park open to barks DOG lovers can now include their beloved pets on trips to picturesque Lake Macdonald, with Seqwater declaring the area ‘dog friendly’. Pooches are now allowed to join their families at the Seqwater recreation area at Lake Macdonald Park, and Seqwater CEO Peter Dennis said the decision came from the landmark recreation review. “In mid-2012, dogs on leashes were permitted a Lake Macdonald Park on a trial basis. Feedback re-

ceived through the recreation review highlighted the community’s desire for this to continue,” he said. “Dogs on leashes are now permitted permanently at Lake Macdonald Park, enabling visitors to enjoy time outdoors with their canine friends.” It is expected that allowing dogs at Lake Macdonald will entice more visitors, but dog owners are warned to control their pets to ensure public safety.

“Dogs will need to be kept on a leash at all times, while waste will need to be collected and disposed of in the bins provided,” Mr Dennis said. But your furry friend won’t be allowed in the lake for a swim, due to the potential impact on drinking water quality. “Seqwater rangers patrol the recreation area at the lake and will answer queries about Seqwater’s rules,” Mr Dennis said.

Labor takes aim at hire and fire rules

Greens’ launch is on song

By JONATHON HOWARD

GREENS candidate for the State seat of Noosa, Joe Shlegeris, has taken another stab at the LNP Government, premier Campbell Newman and LNP Noosa MP Glen Elmes – this time in song form. Set to the tune of the “Drunken Sailor” Mr Shlegeris has launched his campaign song in which he re-wrote the lyrics, sings and appears in a film clip playing the ukulele with three colourfully-dressed lead singers and a group of Greens’ supporters as back up. “What should we do with the LNP – Bad for you and bad for me – What shall we do with the LNP – On election day-oh,” was the chorus of the song which Mr Shlegeris has posted on his campaign website (www.joefornoosagreens.com). “If you’re writing a song about what to do with this LNP government, it’s obvious what tune you should use,” Mr Shlegeris wrote with the posting. The song also mentions Mr Elmes with the line “What shall we do with a guy called Glen Elmes – Send him home to wind his Rolex”. All jingles aside, Mr Shlegeris is taking a tough fight to the LNP government and he has aimed two of his six key policies at increasing employment. His six key policies including: Economy – free small business to create jobs, reduce state debt; Employment – create more local jobs; Environment – protect and improve our natural abundance; Energy – enable clean, cheap electricity and free the access to the grid; Equity – stop wasteful subsidies to mining giants; and Enhance/Expand – health services. Mr Shlegeris has also voiced his

Labor candidate for the State seat of Noosa Mark Denham says Fair Work is failing to address youth unemployment. to the organisational culture of the business. “Now she is out of a job, out of pocket for uniform, and can’t even protest about the unfair dismissal,” Mr Denham said. Mr Denham said he wants greater support for young employees as unemployment rates, especially youth unemployment, continue to climb. “Noosa has one of the highest youth unemployment rates in the state and we have employers doing this to their employees,” he said. “It’s not right and it’s not fair.” Noosa Today has withheld both the name of the employer and employee as the matter continues with Fair Work.

Recording of the Greens Noosa campaign song to the ‘drunken sailor’ jingle. support for Sunshine Coast Council suburbs Eumundi, Doonan, Verrierdale and Weyba Downs joining Noosa Council as proposed by the EDV Residents Group. Mr Shlegeris sent flyers around the four suburbs expressing his views on the matter. “I support wholeheartedly the proposed boundary change which would bring the EDV areas into the Noosa Council,” the flyer read. “It is simply fair that the wishes of the EDV residents be respected.” Mr Shlegeris also said the reboundary move made sense in order to bring the currently split Lake Weyba into one council. “As long as the LNP-aligned Sunshine Coast Council can count on the support of the LNP State Government, EDV residents can expect their wishes to be ignored,” he wrote.

LABOR candidate for the State seat of Noosa Mark Denham has slammed a Noosa business for what he believes was “unfair dismissal” after a local teenager was sacked prior to her six-month probation. Mr Denham said he has concerns that the Fair Work rules could be handing employers the right to hire and fire an employee within the six-month probation period - without rhyme or reason. Mr Denham said he spoke with the 19-year-old mother (name withheld) who was excited about starting her new career in the health sector. “She had been working for her new employer for 10 weeks and she had just paid for her uniforms, that the employer said she had to buy,” Mr Denham said. “Work was great, she enjoyed her new path in life and was happy to help out her employer when asked, including working some double shifts. “But the other day she was about to start her rostered shift, when she was met by the boss with a letter stating that her position had been terminated – no warning and under the current Fair Work rules she has no ability to challenge this unjust sacking.” Mr Denham said he took further issue with the sacking when the letter stated the young employee was not a “cultural fit” in the workplace, which is referring

Noosa shares the soft soap By JOLENE OGLE

Welcome to Noosa: Tourism Noosa industry development manager Juanita Bloomfield, CEO Damien Massingham and business development co-ordinator Sarah Heap.

Warm welcome is its own reward IF youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had an outstanding customer service experience in Noosa, Tourism Noosa wants to know about it. Those nominated will be in the running to take out the top honour of the Welcome to Noosa Customer Service Awards, which will be held monthly to acknowledge those who go above and beyond the call of duty. The Welcome to Noosa campaign was launched 18 months ago and since then 1200 local employees and employers have completed the program, which aims to arm tourism operators and their staff with local knowl-

edge to share with visitors. The awards will consist of a monthly best employee of Noosa and a business of the year. Employers, employees or visitors can nominate the best employee of Noosa, but of course, there is a very positive catch to winning - the employee must have completed the Welcome to Noosa campaign to be eligible. Tourism Noosa CEO Damien Massingham said the Welcome to Noosa campaign was all about sharing local knowledge with visitors to help make their time in Noosa even better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the local knowledge and the best kept

secrets,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have what we know to be beautiful ... and we can share that with visitors. We now have an army out there, sharing local knowledge.â&#x20AC;? Tourism Noosa industry development manager Juanita Bloomfield said a number of nominations had already been received. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are really excited about the awards, especially the employers,â&#x20AC;? she said. Nominations must be on the official Welcome to Noosa nomination forms supplied at businesses or alternatively, through the website www.visitnoosa.com.au/ awards.

would be assembled by the Zonta Club of Noosa before being sent to the Birthing Kit Foundation overseas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Birthing kits for women in the developing world ensure a clean birth, saving thousands of lives,â&#x20AC;? Ms Cussens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The United Nations (WHO) estimated in 1996 that 585,000 women died annually in childbirth.â&#x20AC;? Ms Cussens said the funds raised from the pop-up shop would also be used to fund local initiatives including three $1000 bursaries for female students the University of the Sunshine Coast, two $250 bursaries for female aviation students of Noosa District High School, and breast cushions for mastectomy pa-

tients at Noosa Hospital. Zonta Noosa will also provide care packs for the Salvation Army with toiletries such as soap, toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner, for women and children who seek refuge in crisis centres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(These women) sometimes leave home with only the clothes on their back,â&#x20AC;? Ms Cussens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have also set aside funds for a domestic violence initiative, which is yet to be decided.â&#x20AC;? Zonta Noosa may be doing great work within the local and wider community, but Ms Cussens said none of it could be possible without the help of the Noosa community and their generosity.

IN Australia, giving birth in a hospital is expected, but for many women throughout the world access to basics such as soap can be impossible. Zonta Noosa are helping women give birth with basic hygiene items, thanks to generous locals who shopped at the Zeconda secondhand popup shop in Noosa Junction. The pop-up store ran throughout October selling second-hand items and Zonta Noosa president Patricia Cussens said the club couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thank the community enough for their generous support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We raised over $13,000, which is truly amazing, given there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anything in the shop that was priced above $40 and most was at $20 or below for each item,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just shows how many people came through our door.â&#x20AC;? The birthing kits consist of a plastic sheet for the mother to lie on, a piece of soap, a pair of gloves, three gauze squares, cord ties, clamps and a sterile scalpel blade, all sealed in a press-seal bag. Mr Cussens said each Zonta birthing kit cost $3 to produce and transport, and

THE tradition continues with the running of this weekend’s Noosa Triathlon festival ... and the buzz that surrounds the area is infectious. Congratulations to the organisers for again bringing the world to our doorstep and giving the Coast a much enjoyed economic boost leading up to Christmas. Of course the big names will get plenty of exposure and some new faces as well. That’s always been one of the big successes that previous organisers built this weekend around. I know you heard me say it before, but 1983 really wasn’t that long ago but, gee, a lot has changed. A normal racing bike is around $7000 and running shoes over $100. Oh, and don’t forget swimming goggles $50, wet-suit $500 and dietary requirements … who knows. In the first race there were 183 wide-eyed hopefuls start, with Gold Coaster Michael Harris and future Olympian Liz Hepple first across the line. This weekend 14,500 competitors all line up for the festival, which starts with golf today, 1200 taking the plunge in the kids event and 7000 in Sunday’s big race. My two standout moments from the 30 races I commentated involves Noosa’s newest resident Emma Snowsill. The first was 2003 when she won her first Noosa title, as an unknown after winning the first Youth Olympics in Sydney the year before. But my proudest moment came in 2008,

Bird risk rubbished By JONATHON HOWARD

CONCERNS that the ibis birds living around Noosa could impact the Sunshine Coast Airport (SCA) expansion to include a new runway by 2020 are unfounded, according to airport general manager Peter Pallot.

when introducing the ladies winner across the line: “Please welcome your winner and our first ever Olympic champion Emma Snowsill’’. I had the pleasure of welcoming home World, European, Canadian, German, USA, Kiwi champions but never an Olympic Gold Medalist. 1984 and 1985 were also significant years of development for the event, with nationally known cyclists and swimmers brought in to prop up and add to the exposure for the race. Most triathletes during that era weren’t afforded the profile they now enjoy – athletes like Olympic swimmers Justin Lemberg, Julie McDonald, Neil Brookes, Susie Landells and cyclists Robert Crossley and Russell Tucker were enlisted to raise the profile. Probably my not-so-proud moment was walking home from Rio’s with the Eumundi Brewery boss around 3am. That wasn’t the bad part, it was sitting on the kerb singing “I Still Call Australia Home’’ ... my house mates not impressed, with the starter’s gun only three hours away. The only disappointment for me is that the other Noosa event of those early days, the Jack Newton Golf Classic, is now hosted in NSW. It was great to see the instigator of the event John Peircey was recognised with his annual golf day again raising money for charities. John was a great knock-about local who wanted to recognise his mate Jack after his terrible accident and raise money for a cause. It’s nice to know these two events started all those years ago, are still well entrenched in our culture and calendar. I still have a few spots left for the annual Sports Golf Day at Palmer Resort on Friday, 14 November. Anyone interested can call me at the resort. Until next time.

“Aircraft using the curved approach to the new SCA runway will pass to the east of the tip site at 2800 feet (853 metres) on landing and will be even higher on take-off,” Mr Pallot said. “Ibis generally fly below 800 feet (243 metres) so the aircraft on approach will be separated by at least 2000 feet (610m) vertically and on a track that takes them further to the east of the tip site. “We understand Noosa Council has already adopted

Ibis congregating around the Noosa tip will pose no danger to future expansions of the Sunshine Coast Airport. strategies to reduce the attractiveness of the tip site to ibis, including reducing the exposed tip face, and covering the exposed waste each night to reduce food sources for these birds.”

Mr Pallot said he supported these strategies and would continue to work with the council to ensure the tip did not become an issue for the airport in the future.

Riding the winds to Rio By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA sailing athlete Ryan Palk is training his heart out to qualify for the 2016 Rio Olympics where he hopes to achieve Olympic glory. To find out more, Noosa Today put several questions to Ryan including his advice to other young sailors. 1. Could you give our readers a brief insight into your background, sailing experience and your connection with Noosa? I’ve grown up in Noosa and spent my youth in and around the local beaches, rivers and lakes surfing, swimming and fishing. I got into sailing when I was around eight years old at the local Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club. I initially did it for fun and to learn a new skill and spending time with friends. I soon found the racing side a great challenge and something I wanted to pursue. My parents didn’t know too much about the sport but encouraged me, along with other sailors, locals and old salts at the club who were all keen to foster young sailors like me. Sailing is an interesting sport in that many people have often tried it at least once in their life, everyone has a story about it, and they usually have an interesting lesson they learned from the experience as well. I learnt a lot from the collective experience of everyone’s lessons, mistakes and successes. As a child I would often chase around the older sailors around the club for advice on sail settings, tactics and racing strategy. As a kid, some of it was confusing at the time but over the years it has accelerated my learning and allowed me to explore the art of

racing sailboats to a higher level. I always love learning and every day I go sailing there is something new to learn about, so it’s a great experience I have now against some of the best in the world, against some of the legends of the sport and even had some of my own success along the way. I’m now looking forward to executing it in my own Olympic quest, but also passing that knowledge on to foster the next generation. 2. What’s life like for an athlete? Do you have a stringent regime? Life as an athlete now is very different to growing up here in Noosa. In Australia, I am mostly based in Sydney for training out of the National Training Centre in Middle Harbour. My day revolves around the wind and the conditions we are targeting for certain events. Sydney Harbour is a great place for training, but gets very busy at times. For this reason we train five to six days a week, but always avoid the harbour on Sundays. For performing on the water, we also do a lot of off-water cross-training, which is usually on the bike and in the gym. This is alternated between each day and depends on weight targets for each event. Nutrition and recovery also follows a routine to ensure we are properly fuelled and stay injury free, especially for long blocks of training or windy events. 3. What’s the competition like and how are you training for the 2016 Rio Brazil Olympics? The competition is as fierce as ever. Australia has a really strong sailing pedigree. In the laser class, which I sail, we won Gold in London. We only have one spot at the Olympics so it’s a battle between my

Ryan Palk is facing one of the toughest challenges of his life - the 2016 Rio Olympics. team-mates for the spot. We are all mates off the water but on the water it’s all on. We train and represent Australia as a team, which is why we improve and have such a good squad and chance at winning Gold. The selectors just had to do a cull on the team, for the final year leading into Rio. There are only five of us left now, it’s tough on those who didn’t make it, but it’s the reality of Olympic sailing. I will be training mostly in Sydney and overseas for my final preparations for the 2016 games. 4. How are you supported from within the Noosa business community? The support from locals has been the backbone of all my sailing. Whether it was as a child learning from the locals, or now as an adult being supported from local businesses who are helping me to go for

gold. Sailing isn’t the cheapest sport, and the funding from the QAS and Australian Sailing Team program does help but isn’t enough to cover all the costs. Assistance from local businesses has gone a long way in keeping me in the game and my campaign alive. Local businesses like Madills Motor Group, the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, Podfirst and Jetts Fitness Noosa have all contributed in their own way during my campaign. The other teams I face from down south and overseas are often well funded, and there has not been an Olympic laser representative from Queensland ever, which if you look at the great conditions we have here in Queensland, doesn’t add up. Unfortunately being well resourced does make a big difference, like in a lot of sports, but especially in sailing, and it’s a challenge I have had to deal with my entire Olympic campaign.

5. What advice would you give to other potential sailors eager for gold? My advice would be if you’re interested in the sport, or think you might want to have a go at racing competitively, go for it. Local clubs have a great support network and at the grass-roots level it is quite affordable. Sailing is a life-long skill that will take you to many unique places and meet many interesting characters. I have done four years of olympic campaigning now after qualifying for the Australian Sailing Squad at the tender age of 18. I have now seen a lot of the world, sailed in some amazing venues and made life-long friends. I never thought my little boat would take me so far but like most things you would be surprised how far a little hard work can take you. For more info: see ryanpalksailor. com or blog ryan2rio.com

The team sets off.

Cooroy poised for a wild time

Carry the memories, always and forever By RON LANE IT has been a long time in coming, but gradually surf lifesaving clubs throughout Australia are starting to acknowledge the outstanding contribution made by the many club members in times of conflict. Recently a group of 16 members of the Noosa Heads club – some present some past – took part in a 100km WWI Memorial Walk from Woodford to The Gap in Brisbane through the D’Aguilar National Park. In the words of Noosa lifesaver and local organiser Peter Williams: “Each member carried a brick weighing 2.9kg inscribed with the name of a WWI veteran from Queensland killed in action. Each brick will be placed in storage until 2018, when a memorial wall will be built at Walton Street Bridge,

The Gap. The walk itself was organized by Mates 4 Mates, an organisation started by soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Its purpose is to assist the wounded, injured and ill; current and ex-service personnel and their families.” Peter went on to say: “The Noosa team was made up of two solo walkers and four relay teams. The relay teams consisted of four members walking approximately 25 kilometres each leg. Some of the sections of the walk took approximately 10 hours across pretty rugged mountain terrain resulting in some very sore feet and muscle soreness in the next few days. Everyone agreed that it was much tougher than anyone expected.” Of the 140 participants who started, an estimated 30 per cent dropped out. However this does

not come as a surprise when one takes into consideration that the course was mapped out by the SAS. It was recommended that the fitness required was rated as good to high. “As well as the name on the brick of the fallen Queensland soldier, the walkers also carried small crosses with poppies attached in remembrance of grandfathers and great grandfathers of local Noosa people,” Mr Williams said. “Also the success of this march was made possible by the support of our local sponsors, so to them many thanks.” With global conflicts once again on the rise the respects shown by the lifesavers and supporters who participated in this march is to be applauded for it shows that those who have served and are now also serving are not forgotten. Lest we forget.

THE Christmas in Cooroy street parade is one of the event’s highlights and this year things are turning wild ... Wild West that is. This year’s theme for the Bendigo Bank Street Parade will see things turn country as more than 8000 spectators are expected to line Maple Street for the 10th annual parade. Bendigo Bank has come to the party, joining as the main sponsor of Christmas in Cooroy with a generous $7000 in support. Event organiser and Cooroy Chamber of Commerce president Danielle Taylor said 30 other businesses had also come on board to support the ever-popular event. Cooroy Community Bank branch manager Geoff Edwards said it was great to see everyone so excited for the free community event. “There are over 40 businesses and community groups, over 100 volunteers and thousands of people that get together

to celebrate at Christmas in Cooroy,” he said. “This event is so much fun and it just gets better each year - it’s truly a fantastic community event.” Ms Taylor said everyone was encouraged to get involved and enter a float in the Bendigo Bank Street Parade. “Wild West is a great theme and we expect there will be gunslingers, saloon girls, cowboys, Indians and all sorts of other imaginative creations as well as lots of Christmas themed floats,” she said. “You don’t have to be based in Cooroy to be involved, it is great exposure for your business or community group and a best of all it is a lot of fun.” Christmas in Cooroy is being held on Saturday, 6 December, with the Bendigo Bank Street Parade commencing at 4pm.

20 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 30 October, 2014

Trek tackles a killer cause By JOLENE OGLE RUGBY league legend Trevor Gillmeister dropped into Cricks Noosa last week on his way from Townsville to Brisbane to help raise awareness and funds for asbestos-related diseases. The 50-year-old set off from Townsville over a month ago to tackle the 1300-kilometre trek, joined along the way by friends and family. Trevor, his wife Sandra and daughter Lauren, along with a team of support walkers, arrived at Cricks Noosa with “a spring in their step” after walking 64 kilometres, to sign footballs for fans and enjoy a much-deserved break. The Walk for Awareness is in aid of people who suffer from asbestos-related diseases such as pleural disease, asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma, and is an issue close to the Gillmeister family with Sandra’s mum dying from and Trevor’s dad affected by asbestos-related diseases. Trevor said it was time to bring the diseases out from “under the rug” and shine a light on those who “suffer in silence”. “We’ve been blown away by the number of people who have come to us and said their uncle, or aunty, grandparents, husband or wife are affected,” he said. “A lot of people think it is predominately males who get it, but it’s not.” According to the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), Australia and the UK have the highest rates of asbestos-related deaths in the world. NHMRC states this is due to the amount of asbestos used in buildings throughout the countries, as well as the high usage of the most dangerous types, blue and brown. The statistics show that since records began in the early 1980s, there have been at least 4700 deaths from mesothelioma, a fast-spreading cancer of the pleura with an average survival time of 6-18 months, with 25,000 Australians expected to die from asbestos-related diseases over the next 40 years. Trevor said it was clear from the people he’d met along his walk that a great many

people suffered with asbestos-related diseases throughout Queensland alone, and he was concerned reality TV shows about home renovations would lead to an increase in deaths. “We need to get the message out there a lot more. Especially with reality TV shows with home renovation, we need to make sure people are aware of asbestos and get things checked out before they start renovating,” he said. “Otherwise, there will be a big spike in 1020 years’ time. We have a lot more to do yet, in spreading the message.” Trevor has four more days of walking until he reaches Brisbane, and will have his daughter, sister and wife by his side for the final leg. To date, Trevor’s Walk for Awareness has raised over $59,000 with Cricks Noosa Jeep boosting the fund raising with a $1000 donation, last week. To donate to the Walk for Awareness, visit www.everydayhero.com.au/walkforawareness.

Be on the lookout for killer pest weed hot spots By JONATHON HOWARD THE Sunshine Coast Council wants rural property owners, especially those in the Eumundi to Kenilworth areas, to be on the lookout for fireweed - a class 2 declared pest plant - which is toxic to livestock when ingested. Fireweed Senecio madagascariensis, is a Weed of National Significance (WONS). It is regarded as one of the worst weeds in Australia because of its invasiveness, potential for spread, and economic

and environmental impacts. It is a small short-lived perennial herb with bright yellow, daisy like flowers. These have 13 petals and are around the size of a 10 cent coin. Councillor Jenny McKay sits on the Rural Futures Taskforce and said rapid spread of fireweed was a real problem to our farmers - an average fireweed plant can produce over 10,000 seeds each year. “We are advising property owners to be vigilant and treat infestations while they are small to prevent

ods is available on the council’s website and officers are available to help with identification and advice on control. “Small amounts of fireweed are easily removed by hand but larger infestations may require chemical control, which can be expensive. “The council controls fireweed on roadsides and government land and over the next few months officers will be conducting property inspections as a part of the pest survey program.

“And it’s not just rural property owners that need to keep a look-out – we’ve also been finding fireweed in residential areas, including some ‘hotspots’ at Little Mountain and Meridan Plains, especially in newly turfed areas. “Our turf farms on the coast are clear from fireweed so it’s likely being brought in from outside the region.” The council is asking residents who see this plant to contact the council on 07 5475 7272.

Kristy completes ride of a lifetime AFTER 1700 kilometres of headwinds, steep hills and rain, Victorian woman Kristy McGrath finally rode into Tewantin Noosa RSL park on Saturday to the sounds of cheers. The 32-year-old woman from Stanhope, Victoria, had just ridden from her home town to Tewantin to raise money for her goddaughter, Ellie Topliff. Ellie, 18 months, has been disgnosed with the extremely rare Tay-Sachs disease, a degenerative brain disorder with no treatment, no cure and a life expectancy of between two and five years. Kristy, who only started riding in February this year, set off on the challenge to raise money and awareness for the disease. Together with the Tewantin Noosa RSL, which held a charity auction on Saturday night, more than $23,000 was raised for Ellie and her family. Kristy is already on her way back to Victoria, this time by car.

Numbers help to know the risk By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSAVILLE Amcal Pharmacy staff will be helping Noosa residents keep an eye on their health through the launch of the pharmacy’s free health check initiative. The pharmacy is participating in the National Stroke Foundation’s “know your numbers” program. The pharmacy has already helped about 300 locals take control of their health this year. By checking blood pressure and completing a simple risk assessment,

the pharmacy has helped identify people who may be at risk of stroke, heart disease and type two diabetes. Amcal Noosaville pharmacist Stephen Winnett said that blood pressure was a key risk factor for stroke and the risk factor that was the simplest to control. “With strokes it is the simple things that can make a big difference; control your blood pressure, quit smoking, exercise and limit your alcohol consumption,” Mr Winnett said. “It is estimated that in 2014, almost 400 residents will suffer a

stroke in this region. We want to help reduce that number by helping people be more aware of their stroke risk and what they can do to reduce it.” Mr Winnett urged local residents to visit the pharmacy and take advantage of a free health check. “Come down to our store conveniently located at Shop 5 and 6 Noosavillage Shopping Centre, Gibson Road, Noosaville to find out your numbers and learn how to reduce your stroke risk,” he said. For more information phone Noo- Noosaville Amcal Pharmacy staff are ready to help you understand and "know your numbers" for better health. saville Amcal on (07) 5449 9049.

Q& A

Property Management by Karen Seskis

Hello Karen, We are currently renting through an agent and have just purchased a property, we need to break our lease, but we have a friend who may take on the lease so they don’t have to advertise? The agent is going to charge us a break lease fee and advertising…can they legally do this? Paul J, Sunrise Beach Hello Paul, This is a common question and as you are no doubt aware, Residential Tenancy Agreements are legally binding contracts. However, if a tenant wishes to break the agreement and vacate the property before the ixed term expires, the tenant is responsible for the following:

Lighting is important to create ambience and should be soothing and calming.

• Rent until the date a new tenant takes over the property, or until the ixed term expires (whichever happens irst) • Any agreed advertising costs • The owner’s costs of a letting fee Paul, inding the tenant is only a small portion of the process, even if your friends application is accepted it still needs to be processed, proper checks need to be carried out, leases need to be prepared, entry and exit inspections are carried out. Please also note if your friend is not a suitable applicant then the landlord has every right to not accept the application. It is important to note that the owner/agent must make reasonable efforts to minimise any potential losses the tenant may suffer in this situation as well.

Karen, We have an approved dog at a property, seeing the owner has approved one dog we would like to get another, is it OK for us to proceed and not advise the agent? Chad S, Doonan

Chad…NO absolutely NOT! All animals at a property must be approved and most agents require a Pet Application Form with all your pet’s details, including pet’s council registration number. So Paul if you let the dog reside at the property without permission expect the agent to give you a “Notice to Remedy Breach” and the animal will need to be removed or approved, the former being the more likely scenario!

I am a big fan of white sheets - boring to some, I know, but there is nothing nicer than smooth, white sheets and pillow cases to lie on at the end of a pretty hectic day.

Nude news

Live and let live

I AGREE with signs warning of nude bathing at Alexandria Bay. Use the word “nude” not “unclad”. Every nationality recognises this word. Also advise nudists to dress before wandering around outside the beach area. That’s only fair. I first visited there in 1971 and appreciate its beauty and remoteness. Those who condemn nude bathing need not indulge, but should allow free-thinking folk to enjoy it. Allan Humphries, Noosaville.

I THOUGHT this issue was resolved a long time ago. I do believe in signage, especially for the prude people – you may encounter unclad bathers on this beach, so should be given the option to seek somewhere else. Why can’t they react like in France where whatever you decide what to wear or not, just mix altogether and go on with life. Marie-Jo Kennedy, Peregian Beach.

Sign of the times

REGARDING the nudist debate, I moved here with my parents in 1979, I was 12, I used to surf at A-Bay weekend mornings before working in my parents’ cafe on Hastings Street. As a 12-year-old I was approached by naked males wanting me to go up into the bushes and do things with them. I recall saying 'no thanks’ and getting the hell out of there as fast as I could. This was 35 years ago – perverts were everywhere and, I would suggest, still are today. Rain, hail or shine you’ll find them lingering in the bushes or on the tracks looking to get off. It’s sick and perverted what they get up to and spoils what is otherwise an absolutely lovely place to go and get away from it all. ABay is known throughout the world as a major gay beat, that is a place for men to meet up. It’s well-known that the middle section of the beach is the gay area – they don’t just go there for idle chat and a skinny dip. Everyone knows, but no-one does anything about it, e.g. the authorities. The main danger at A-Bay is the straight single males though, some of them are just downright scary. They go there with one intention only and that is to parade around naked exposing themselves to as many people as possible with the sole intention of getting turned on and relieving themselves somehow, whether at the beach or elsewhere. If you’re a woman by yourself, be prepared to be surrounded and harassed by men following you. Some of these sickos look like they're straight out of prison and haven’t seen a woman in years. I’m a solid guy but I won’t even look them in the eye when jogging by. I’ve seen naked men on the paths almost at the car park at Parkedge Road, two kilometres from the beach. I’ve had old naked men wandering along the main track towards me near Tea Tree Bay in full view of everyone. The problem is whenever you set aside a fairly remote area and allow men to go naked, with them knowing that women will be around, you get to see the sleazy, seedy side of society coming out and it spoils the whole area for everyone. I can’t believe the double standards of the police – they allow people to break the law every day because that broken law is not a priority. A law is a law and they are paid by us the taxpayers to uphold it no matter how insignificant it seems – if they don’t like it they have the powers to effect change. I am sick of going there for a walk or a jog or surf and seeing all the losers everywhere. As for the die-hard regular nudists who all congregate at the southern sheltered end, a lot tend to have bodies that you don’t want to see naked anyway. If, in the skin cancer capital of the world, they all want to lie around getting melanomas then good luck to them. I suggest that the middle part of the beach, that is currently the gay area, becomes the main nudist area for all nudists and has signs warning people, thus bundling all the gays, the regulars and the perverts together to all get along, leaving both the northern and southern ends for everyone else. This way anyone can approach and leave via both ends of the beach and not have to even see any naked person if they don’t wish to and all the naked people can be naked to their heart's content without offending people that have exactly the same right to utilise the National Park as them. Richard Davis, Marcus Beach.

AS A local resident of Noosa I do not want any signage promoting A-Bay as a nudist beach. It is not a nudist beach as nude bathing is against the law. Why should a beach in the middle Noosa be designated a nudist beach? There are literally tens of thousands of tourists that walk through the national park every year and they should not have to be confronted with an illegal activity on one of the local beaches. If the nudists want to have a beach then they should lobby their federal ministers to get the law changed just like the rest of us would have to do. Until that time it is illegal. Brett Wollstein, Peregian Beach.

Toad toll YES, of course, the cane toads threatening the national park should be eliminated as quickly as possible before they can do untold harm to the wildlife living there. Zigrid Georges is to be commended for bringing this to the public’s attention. A definite “yes” also to providing signage at A-Bay. This is an easy solution to the problem and should prevent the need for police to waste their time and resources constantly monitoring the beach. Jeanette Scott, Noosa Heads.

To the Noosa Council for recommending a ban on commercial net fishing on Noosa North Shore.

To the hardworking firefighters and emergency support crews who battle the recent Sunrise Beach grass fire.

To the motorists who keep speeding past the United service station on Eumundi-Noosa Road. It’s 60km/h people, deal with it.

To those people who cannot move on from the fact that Alexandria Bay is Noosa’s unofficial nude beach.

LENSCAPE

Shocks in the surf

Fun in the sun A FRIENDLY sign at A-Bay, saying something like that: “Note: nude people enjoying this beach too”.

THIS week’s Lenscape contribution comes from Joy Price of Tewantin. Joy took this stunning shot in her backyard as a local bird plucked berries from a nearby branch. Joy says she loves to admire the local birds and wildlife from her garden. SEND US YOUR SNAPS: Have you got a great photo that you would like to see in print? Send your snap to newsdesk@noosatoday.net.au Can you guess what type of bird Joy photographed? Find out next week. Prudish Queenslanders don’t go there and there is no need to make it “official”. Heidi Schum, Noosaville.

First world problems IF ALL is lost you have to hand it to the Sunshine Coast readers to lift you out of the doldrums. We have a worldwide Ebola crisis, a threat of terrorism, a state and federal financial crisis, losing Jarod Hayne to that brutal game in a far-off land (if you listen to the hype). But the good old Sunshine Coast has a far worse crisis and I quote; their coffee is not the right temperature. There’s one born every minute and we encourage them. E. Wright, Sunrise Beach.

Quite a surprise REGARDING the naked beach at Noosa, in my opinion, the problem is that the beach is on the way of the national park track. When I did that walk I didn’t find it nice to get the surprise that I was in a nudist beach, so I guess a sign would be nice. To be honest I didn’t come back to do that track ... sadly. I believe that everybody has the right to do what they want if that doesn’t upset people. In my opinion they should have a beach to enjoy their freedom but it would be nice if it was in another place, not in the middle of a popular walk. I’d love to do that track with my kids one day – at the moment it's a no-no. Thanks for asking for opinions, and I hope my one is not too close-minded. Have a nice day, Erica Gomez, Tewantin.

Bad debt IF DEBT and deficit is bad for the country, then why does the Federal Government wish to impose a huge debt on our young school leavers who wish to further their education? Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach.

Nudes, not prudes THANKYOU for your article on nude bathing at A-Bay. I cannot understand what all the fuss is about, nude bathing is allowed and encouraged all over the Western World and lots of other places in Australia so why not in Noosa. I think and hope that putting up signage as suggested will stop all complaints. I am all for it. If it became an official nude beach that would even be better. The beach is isolated and pretty much hard to get to, so why not leave it to the nude bathers. Erika Furchtmann, Peregian Springs.

Let it all hang out THERE is reference to acceptable nude sunbathing in a discreet location and surely Alexandria Bay qualifies, just needing suitable designation and signage. Why is it that many seem to equate naturism with public sex or perverts? A true naturist does not accept such behaviour and indeed would welcome the opportunity to assist in policing standards. Alexandria Bay, and before that Granite Bay, in the days when it had sand, were broadly acknowledged as clothing optional beaches. When will government legislation reflect acceptable community standards? Designated beaches mean the rights of all are recognised, not just a vocal minority group who oppose anything and everything. Mike Taylor, Now of Agnes Water – formerly of Peregian Beach.

Election taint THE battle to restore a Noosa Council was not about party politics. Many Noosa residents of different political persuasions were ultimately involved in the struggle. It would therefore be unfortunate if celebration of our community victory now degenerated into party political arguments about who did what, just because there is a state election shortly. As spokesperson for the alliance that ran the Free Noosa campaign, I know the vital role that Glen Elmes played in our success. Without Glen’s ongoing persistence, Campbell Newman would not have visited Noosa and given us his word. And it’s history that Campbell Newman delivered on his promise, despite significant internal party opposition. Glen Elmes’ persistence did not make him popular with his colleagues, but without it a Noosa Council would probably now be only a dream. He did what any member of parliament should do, he went in to bat for his constituents. Just as he has on issues I have raised with him during my time as mayor. That’s also what we have a right to expect of our state member, irrespective of party. Restoring our council was such an important issue locally that all candidates at the last state election supported de-amalgamation. We won the battle, so let’s keep the issue out of party politics this time around. Noel Playford, Mayor, Noosa Council.

Time to change LIKE Julie Andrews (Noosa Today, 23 October) I too have been impressed by the recent printed articles and talks on the local radio station by Joe Shlegeris. It would be a great endorsement of Noosa values if he was elected as the first Greens member in State Parliament. His push for clean affordable energy, a safe climate future, and the expansion of our local hospital are all worthy of support, and I wish him all the best at the elections next year. Bruce Hallett, Tewantin.

THE Sunshine Coast Council’s Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion proposal is to build a new $347 million, 2450m runway and associated infrastructure.

Pitt gets his war face on

today

By JONATHON HOWARD BRAD Pitt is back on the big screen alongside an all-star cast in the highly anticipated World War II film “Fury”, which is now showing at BCC Noosa Cinemas. The year is 1945, the allies are making their final push into Europe as a battle-hardened army sergeant nicknamed Wardaddy, played by Pitt, commands a Sherman tank and a five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines.

NOOSA’S LIFESTYLE GUIDE Don’t be Late for Woodstock, performing at Tewantin Noosa RSL on 31 October, from 8pm. Come dressed in your best ’60s and ’70s outfit for extra fun!

“

The crew are outnumbered, outgunned and have to deal with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon …

The crew are out-numbered, out-gunned and have to deal with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon. Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany. Film critics have labelled Fury a somewhat “predictable” and “bloody” war film, which at first grapples with the camaraderie that develops between soldiers but then somewhat loses the plot in the glorified battle scenes. The individual performances from Pitt and others including Shia LeBeouf and Michael Pena help bring the film together and make for some entertaining, albeit violent, viewing. Further to this, 19,000 audience members have cast their votes and rated Fury 8.2 out of 10 on IMDB – which ranks it one of the highest rated films of 2014. WIN A DOUBLE PASS: Noosa Today has a double pass to see Fury at BCC Noosa Cinemas. Simply email your full name and mobile phone number to competitions@ noosatoday.net.au

Don’t be Late for Woodstock IF YOU are one of the flower power generation or just love the groove from back in the day, then Late for Woodstock will give you a fun-filled flashback to the ’60s and ’70s. Late for Woodstock embraces the songs, artists and lifestyle of music’s most popular and enduring era, and continues on this legacy of peace, love and the brotherhood of man. Unlike the majority of bands on the covers/ tribute circuit, Late for Woodstock don’t just play the music – they live it. The music runs in their blood, fuelling their passion to faith-

fully recreate some of the most popular songs ever written. The four piece line-up features rhythm and lead guitars, harmonica, bass and drums with four part harmonies. The players, who all grew up in the ’60s and “turned on” in the ’70s, are experienced musicians who simply love the music. With the motto “tune in, turn on and rock out”, Late for Woodstock attract a loyal following and even the very young have discovered the beauty and raw authenticity of their music.

Having no shortage of classic covers and artists to choose from, Late for Woodstock makes a connection with an audience that now spans three generations. From laid-back acoustic songs to full-on electric rock, the music captures an era that allows for such freedom and invites you to come along for the ride. Catch the Late for Woodstock groove train at 31 October, from 8pm, in the Diggers Bar of Tewantin-Noosa RSL for only $10 for non-members and free for members. Given it is also Halloween, dress up in your best ’60s and ’70s gear to get in the groove.

Rocks and reflection POMONA Railway Station Gallery presents their next exhibition, Of Place and Contemplation, due to open 1 November. Of Place and Contemplation is an exhibition of paintings and sculptures by Margaret Gibson, and explores times of personal reflection. “To sit on a massive rock beneath an enormous sky is a time for wonder and reflection,” Margaret said. “In my exhibition, I remember and respond to those magic places and intriguing natural and man-made forms. “There is no explanation for my creations, other than my need to revisit the shapes, colours and textures of place and contemplate the beauty of life.”

Having taught as a secondary teacher for close to 30 years, Margaret is now enjoying her own interpretations of nature through her paintings and ceramic sculptures. “Small shells are like miniature palaces and are just as inspiring to me as monolithic rock formations or grand manmade structures,” she said. “I hope to transfer some of the feeling and emotion I experience in those creations to my own work through the manipulation of line, form, texture and colour.” The official opening for the exhibition is Saturday, 1 November, from 11am at the Pomona Railway Station Gallery, 10 Station St, Pomona.

The Sunshine Coast Fashion Festival founder and director Jacinta Rishmond extended her deepest gratitude to everyone who made this year a huge success. “Our guests, our designers, our supportive sponsors and partners, our volunteers, our models, our hair and make-up teams, our MC Rosanna Natoli and especially my core team Lisa, Tash, Courtnee, Melissa and Vickii – without their dedication, professionalism and ongoing support this event would not be what it is today and would not continue to grow. The Sunshine Coast Fashion Festival really does belong to every one of you,” she said. “Thank you again for joining us in 2014 and I look forward to seeing you all next year.”

Ode to Magoo Life of

brine PHIL JARRATT

SPRING is meant to be the season of renewal, so I really wish I believed in an afterlife. It would help me cope with the sense of loss I’m feeling as dear friends leave the beach or prepare to do so. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend the memorial paddle out for John Stokes last Sunday, so when I got home from Byron Bay on Sunday evening I checked into Facebook and saw Libby Troy’s photos of Stokesy’s farewell, which came just days after the most amazing and beautiful memorial service, orchestrated by Stokesy himself, of course. Not far away from Libby’s post I found a photo of one of my true surfing heroes, Barry “Magoo” McGuigan. I knew immediately that all was not well. It was written in Magoo’s faraway eyes, normally clear and piercing, but now cloudy and fixed on a space beyond our reckoning. I contacted his wife Debbie who confirmed that our old mate was failing. Magoo, who has stood on his head for 10 minutes a day for most of his 85 years, never drunk nor smoked, and surfed competitively until last year, was diagnosed with Non-Hodgson’s lymphoma in 2011 and told to put his affairs in order. Rip Curl co-founder Doug Warbrick and I pitched in to fly Barry and Deb to Noosa for the surf festival, because we didn’t think he’d be around for the next one. He came, he had a ball and even paddled out and caught a wave or two with the other legends. But cancer didn’t know what it was getting itself into when it picked a fight with a tough old bugger like Barry McGuigan, who started surfing at Bondi in the 1940s, travelled the world with Scotty Dillon in the ’50s, and joined the fire brigade in the early 1960s because shift work offered the opportunity to surf four days a

week. Between emergencies, Magoo practised yoga and read. He became the firey zen surfing master. Magoo fought back, and in early March this year, Deb called me and said, “Barry wants to come up and surf in the over seventies division.” I can’t tell you how happy that made me. He came to the Noosa Festival of Surfing, he had a ball again, and he sparkled. As people who have experienced remission will know, normality is intensified by not knowing how long it will last. Barry always rises early and watches the sun rise over the California’s ocean beAlex Knost low their in the 2013 lovely cliffDuct Tape top home at Invitational. Norah Head on the NSW Central Coast. Since he got sick Debbie has documented most of these golden moments, and it gives me great pleasure to flip open my Mac in the early hours, see her post and know that all is well in their world. She hasn’t posted a sunrise for a while. Magoo is a fighter, but it’s been a long battle and his friends are taking the opportunity now to visit or phone for a chat. This humble man has been an inspiration to so many for so long, that I continue to believe that he’ll live to ride another wave. And if I was a praying kind of guy, I’d pray for that right now. RETURN OF THE DUCT TAPE INVITATIONAL In 2013 the Noosa Festival of Surfing hosted Joel Tudor’s Duct Tape Invitational for the first time, with 16 of the very best traditional longboarders in the world strutting their stuff on perfect waves at First Point. After months of negotiation with sponsors Vans, this week we finally secured the return of the Duct Tape for the 2015 Noosa Festival of

Magoo in fine trim at No rth Bondi in his heyday, the early 1960s.

Surfing, presented by Cricks Noosa. Former world longboard champ Joel Tudor will be bringing his posse of logger kings into town to do battle with the best of our local traditionalists, including 2013 Duct Tape Noosa champ Harrison Roach. The Vans/Duct Tape

crew are also expected to bring a contemporary art show with them. The seven heats of the Duct Tape will be held in the best conditions available over the full week of the festival. Sure to be one of the highlights.

Where food’s the fashion

Organika will hold a market stall to showcase local, organic produce.

THE Junction Flava Festival is back for 2014, with food, music and wine in the streets of Noosa Junction on 15 November. The free community event offers nonstop food and music, along with tastings of local produce and dishes, face painting for the kids and lots more entertainment. The annual event will run from 11am to 5pm on Arcadia Street. For more information, visit the Noosa Junction Flava Festival page on facebook.

TO celebrate the end of National Organic Month, Organika will hold a market day on 1 November to showcase local produce. The markets will also give customers the chance to meet producers, growers and creators to learn more about their favourite organic products. Organika owner Kris said the market day was a great way to show customers the benefits of organic foods.

Market’s natural advantage “It’s a great opportunity for people to meet and greet with the producers themselves and try before they buy,” he said. “Organika has had a few market days before and they have always been really well received and very popular with our existing customers. It also acts as a great introduction for people who want to know a bit more about organic products.”

Some of the products featuring on the day include local, raw haircare products from Gypsy Rose, alongside Australia Certified Organic advocate, Divine organic skincare creator and mum of supermodel Miranda Kerr, Therese Kerr. Kris said the market day was also a good reminder for locals to spend their dollar locally.

“It’s been really exciting to see the local market grow over the years,” he said. “It’s really great to see things like the Noosa Farmers Market being so popular, rather than people doing all their shopping at the big supermarkets.” Organika is at shop 2, 3 Gibson Road, Noosaville. The market stalls will be at Organika on Saturday, 1 November, from 7am.

cer diagnosed in Australia each year. The Australian Bureau of Statistics reports skin cancer is in the top 20 list of leading causes of death in Australia, behind breast cancer and heart disease. In 2012, 2036 people died from skin cancer, which is a 33 per cent rise in deaths from 2006. The statistics are shocking for a cancer that is the

most preventable of all common cancers. Almost all cases of skin cancer are caused by exposure to UV rays, mainly from the sun, but also from solarium beds. Simply remembering to slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, slap on a hat, seek shade between 9am and 3pm and slide on some sunglasses is the easiest way to prevent skin cancers.

Through her counselling service, Skills for Living for Life, Liz said she loved making a difference in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives and helping them work through issues using simple skills. Liz has spent over 30 years

studying different therapies and working with clients, adapting their sessions in a holistic way around their special needs. With more than 25 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience in the Noosa region, Lis is based on the Sunshine Coast and can help with depression, anxiety, burn-out, post natal depression, as well as a range of other challenging issues many people face.

THE holiday season is almost here, but for many end-of-theyear stress can begin to mount, causing workplace stress. Stress is one of the top leading causes for workplace sickness and can have a dramatic impact on an employeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s productivity. According to health experts, feeling overwhelmed at work can lead to a loss in confidence and many people become irritable or withdrawn, impacting productivity and effectiveness. Ignoring the warning signs of work-place stress can lead to bigger problems including health issues.

Some of the signs and symptoms of stress in the workplace include feeling anxious or depressed, problem sleeping, fatigue, muscle tension or headaches, stomach problems, loss of sex drive, trouble concentrating and social withdrawal. Some common causes of workplace stress include a fear of being fired or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;laid offâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, an excessive workload due to staff cutbacks, pressure to perform to unrealistic expectations and pressure to work at an optimal level at all times. Experts and health organ-

isations recommend getting active to help release some stress. Getting the blood pumping can also release endorphins, a hormone that helps you feel good. Keep a healthy diet, with low-sugar and try to avoid large lunches that will make you feel sleepy. Talking to your boss might also help, and maybe land you some time off to relax and recuperate. If your work stress is feeling like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all too much, you can phone Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Sun smart for skin health WITH the weather being as warm and beautiful as it has been, now is the time to put into action a sun smart routine to protect our skin as we head into summer. Sharon Cassidy from Riverside Beauty shares some tips on sunscreen. Primarily, your sunscreen is an important factor in keeping your skin protected from the effects of the outdoors but, with so much choice on the shelves, how do we know what is best for both the inside and out when it comes to skin protection. The Australian Sunscreen Standard recommends an SPF of 30+. The sunscreen must also have the expiry date (usually 1-2 years) and storage conditions. It’s not worth the risk if your sunscreen has expired. Not only might it not be protecting you effectively from the sun’s rays, but the greasiness and chemicals from expiring may also be affecting your skin in other ways. Over exposure to ultraviolet radiation can cause short-term health effects such as sunburn. Long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation can increase the risk of damage to the skin and eyes in the form of skin cancers and cataracts. UVA was always thought to be the less threatening of the suns rays and most of us have been exposed to large

amounts of UVA throughout our lifetime. Although less intense then UVB, UVA rays are 30-50 times more prevalent and can penetrate clouds and glass. Research is now showing UVA penetrates the skin more deeply and plays a major part in skin ageing, wrinkling and some forms of skin cancers. It is also is the dominant tanning ray. UVB is the chief cause of skin reddening and sunburn and tends to damage the skin’s more superficial epidermal layers. It plays a key role in the development of skin cancer and contributes to tanning and photoageing. UVB rays are more intense during the hotter months from about 10am to 4pm but they can burn and damage skin all-year round. Where you can, always try to have a broad spectrum sunscreen and keep applying throughout the day but especially when you are outdoors or driving. When you wear sunscreen, the SPF (sun protection factor) indicates how long it will take for the UVB rays to redden skin when using a sunscreen compared to how long it would take if they were not wearing it. The purpose of using sunscreen is to reduce UV ray exposure not to extend time spent outside in the sun. Stick with the 30+ where possible and avoid sitting in direct sunlight where you can. There are two types of sun-

screens- chemical absorbers and physical blockers. Chemical absorbers are the most common as they absorb the UVR with a chemical barrier. A sunscreen that scatters or reflects UV rays from the skin is a physical blocker and is mostly associated with Zinc creams. However, more and more of these types of blockers are coming onto the market as they able to both block and absorb, thus giving the user even more protection. Studies have found that physical sunscreens are significantly less allergenic or irritating as they do not penetrate the epidermis and are recommended for acne or sensitive skin sufferers. So what should you look for? For women, healthy skin is an important factor in their skin regime, but many sunscreens can be greasy and clog up pores. Sharon says “When it comes to keeping your skin healthy, protecting it from harsh weather elements is always important. We sell Actinica Liposomal Sunscreen which is a great product available for people with a high risk of skin cancer. Actinica is an SPF 50+ and water resistant for up to four hours. Daily use can aid in the prevention of sunspots, premature skin ageing and may assist in preventing some skin cancers. Riverside Beauty is at 6 Thomas Street, Noosaville. Phone 5449 9744.

Climb steeped in history IN JUST over a week, Gyndier Drive, Tewantin, will be a revhead’s heaven as historic and collectible race cars take to the tar for the annual Historic Noosa Hill Climb. But the track is already abuzz with event organisers Noosa Beach Classic Car Club (NBCCC) holding a working bee to get the road ready for the Noosa Triathlon and then the Historic Hill Climb on 8 and 9 November. Among the improvements to the course is a five-acre pitch, or picnic area, that will hold 160 race cars from the 1960s and 1970s, and Noosa Council has lent a helping hand to get the track race ready. More than 96 tonnes of crusher dust has been brought in to get the road, pits and spectator areas up to grade, ready for the popular annual event. Run by the NBCCC, all proceeds raised by the event will go to local charities, with local organisations such as the Men’s Shed volunteering over the two-day event. Tickets to the Historic Hill Climb are available at the gate on the day at $15 per person for a day ticket or $20 for the weekend. Children under 14 are free. Parking is available at the Tewantin sports grounds over both days, with a shuttle bus available to ferry event-goers to the entrance. A shuttle bus will also be available from the pits to take spectators to turn eight, where there will be grandstands, food and drink plus amenities.

NBCCC member Daryl Shaw and his V12 Jaguar, NBCCC founder Rob van Wega and Les McKenzie and Ian Broadfoot from the Men's Shed.

SPORTTODAY

A captain’s knock By JOHN HOPE A GRADE COOROY-EUMUNDI A Grade resumed at 1/61 needing 198 to defeat the Landsborough Loggers on day two of their clash in Landsborough. The overnight not out batsmen Janos Francis and Joel Kennedy started like a house on fire, adding 21 runs in only two overs before Kennedy was surprisingly dismissed for a well compiled 52. Kennedy had looked to be heading for a century to back up his 87 in round 1 when he played over a good ball from the Loggers skipper and was bowled. Francis and the new batsman Jesse Ritchie added a further 28 before Ritchie was caught to leave the game in the balance at 3/110. Cougar captain Mick Carman joined stoic opener Francis to take the total to 137 before Francis had his stumps rattled to end a fine knock of 51 off 113 balls which set a wonderful foundation for the Cooroy run chase. Next batsman to the crease was 18-year-old Tom Mackee who quickly moved into his stride and dominated a magnificent stand of 150 in only 28 overs with his skipper before being dismissed just 14 short of a century. His 86 came at a run a ball and included 12 boundaries as he and Carman pulped the Loggers in the most emphatic manner. Carman continued on to make 93 (off 142 balls with nine fours) before being caught just seven runs shy of what would have been a well-deserved ton. Useful late contributions from left hander Adam Curry who hit his benchmark 44, Pat Paterson (17 off 15 balls) and wicketkeeper Josh Wiersma (15 off 20 balls) completed the pulverisation of the Landsborough attack as the

Cougars finished the day at an impressive 9/397. Next week, the Cougars travel to Kenilworth and will be buoyed by this comprehensive and commanding win. B GRADE WELL what a day. Easy first innings win for the Cougars but credit to the Loggers for posting a second innings lead of 100 runs. With nearly two hours left to play, the Cougars should have romped this in. Despite a small target to chase, the boys were at 8/ 85, leaving 15 runs to win with only 16 minutes left in the day; match winners being Zac McBurnie and Harvey Hope. Ball by ball everyone was on the edge of their seat, four runs off the last over was all that was needed. McBurnie creams one to the boundary only to pull up short, the boys run three. One run needed, Hope drives a single through covers for one and everybody was up standing, enjoying the win. Congratulations to this team that will go a long way this season if they can focus on a team environment, instead of their own individual performances, special mention to Jarred Davis who took 2 /2 and master classed as a batsman, making 36 runs out of a total

of 101 to set up an outright victory for the Cougars, its not very often but well done Loggers for a great game. C GRADE COUGARS made 132, Coolum resumed at 1/77, a dominant display of swing bowling by Ashley Woods took us to the drinks break at 5/95, the Cougars could sniff an unlikely victory but it wasn’t meant to be, Coolum were all out for 176 with a 44-run lead. The Cougars were after quick runs, and after four overs were 4/22. Ashley Woods played a controlled big hitting complex master innings to guide Cooroy out of trouble, with both captains agreeing to end the match as no further result could be achieved. Ashley Woods was unbeaten on 51, and special thanks to Chris Langfeldt, Odin Cussin, Jonathon Lowth and gun fielder Josh Thompson who all play under 16s who stepped up to the plate. 5TH DIVISION THE Cougar 5ths resumed at 1/16 chasing 401 and after an hour were 1/127 with Ken Park (75) and Phil Giblett (50) at the crease. Quick wickets followed with only Michael Henbury (26) offering resistance to get the total to 204.

Sent in to bat again, the Cougars finished on 4/125 with all batsmen getting a start including Andy Bowden smashing 43 and Kenny Park completing an excellent double 21no. U16s THE Cougar U/16B team suffered their first defeat by five runs against Maroochydore. Chasing 119 and resuming at 5/71, the Cougars were comfortable at 5/89 before a series of wickets saw the team dismissed for 114. Maroochydore went back in and were in control at 1/37 before a spirited fight back saw them tumble to 9/63 with over an hour left to play. However, a last wicket partnership of 22 saw the runs required and time available prove too much. Johnathon Lowth 3/14 and George Giblett 2/3 were the chief destroyers. Cooroy finished on 2/36 in reply with Mitch Martin 20no. T20 BLAST WOW pretty much describes the very first T20 Blast at Cooroy. Co-ordinator Analiese Long and her oompa loompas put on a great show for the kids, junior sport at grass roots level, cricket under lights, free hits, loud music and sixes being hit has the BBL running a distant second at Cooroy Cricket Club on a Friday night, a brand new concept in cricket.

Christmas serves up a busy court By DES ADSETT COOLUM TENNIS THE Coolum Tennis Club has a busy month ahead leading up to Christmas.

until 1pm. The week following, Coolum Tennis will be running a free tennis day on Saturday, 15 November from 10am until 2pm. Coolum Tennis Club will be offering next year’s membership

for new members commencing from that date, so if anyone is considering becoming a member this will be a very good offer. Club coach, Andrew Ash, has been nominated for Hot Shots Coach of the Year, and Coach of the Year. The club appreciate having such a quality coach with a range of coaching programs available. As well as coaching, social tennis has seen an increase in numbers and this is partly due to new arrivals and holiday makers. There were three new players this last week – Arvid who has moved to the area, Loz is building a house and hopes to join us soon and Kerryn is holidaying in the area for the next 2 months. They all appreciated their friendly welcome and the great tennis on offer.

Hitting it out of the park… sweet! By RICHARD MURRIHY SOFTBALL WITH the temperature rising on Saturday morning all were out early at softball and there were many fine efforts in the conditions, Jed Mikkelsen and Nakita Marris-Whiteley took fly catches as did Charles Schefe, Jacob Poole

and Oliver Frye. Jack Murray hit a home run and Charles also picked up a double play. Ando slotted Cookie out of the park in the first pitch of the senior’s hardball game – it was a sweet hit. Brett Gavin also took a great catch in hardball. The club thanks all players in all grades that filled in for other

teams especially Ethan and Jed. Softball starts at 8.30 this Saturday and will finish about 5pm after the last Hardball game so all help is appreciated.

Getting too hot to touch in the footy By ANITA ANDERSON TOUCH FOOTBALL WITH the warmer weather nearly upon us the touch action was also heating up last week. The Under-14/16 division saw some interesting matchups including Inferno being pushed for the entire game against STCC (girls) - Ruby, Sophie, James S. and Pip played strongly. NDSHS 9s accounted for a SBSHS team, short on numbers this week, with Cheyenne, Tiarne and Ashleigh showing great play. NDSHS 8s (green) took on GSLC (girls) and came away with the win. Abbey, Kalen, Kate and Jaidyn produced first rate games. NDSHS 8’s (blue) never gave up in their match with Sunshine Rebels with Isabella, Chloe, Jessica and Mary all putting in for the entire match for their teams. NDSHS 8’s (boys) gave Average Joe’s a run for their money with Billy, Bodi and Thomas leading the way. GSLC (boys) and STCC (Pansies) played an entertaining brand of touch with STCC taking the win. Nicholas, Zac, Jack and Ed had stellar games. In Under 10’s the Purple Panther girls went down fighting against Screaming Iguanas. Anna, Paige, Ethan and Lilliana all played well. Blazers and GSLC (girls) played a fastpaced match with Harley, Pedro and Lexie putting in mighty performances, and in a close result the Mexican Amigos got the points against Pink Storm. A first-rate games from Ben, Joel, Evie and Jak. There were some ever-improving skills on display in the Under 12s. Banana Splits fought the good fight against an unflinching Saints outfit with Amy, Abbi and Jack and Noah K. producing stellar efforts. With only a difference of two touchdowns, Vipers only just got home over That Cool Team. James, Floyd, Charlotte and Lucy were outstanding. GSLC (girls) and Purple Storm played a great game with Sienna, Charlotte and Charlize playing strongly. Devils had the edge over Scorpions with Ariel, Flynn and Javier playing well. Until the next touchdown.

Explosive shots from A Grader McDonald By BRUCE BLAKEMORE TABLE TENNIS AFTER the third qualifying round the ‘cream’ is beginning to rise to the top of the competition, but these initial rounds are mainly in preparation for finals’ night, apart from the obvious task of making the top six! A Grader Kye McDonald has forged his way to the number-one spot undefeated in singles, and in the process has displayed some of the most explosive shots we have ever witnessed. Sitting closely behind are the usual contenders Roger Gore, Bill Brown and last season’s winner Jordan Brown who will remind Kye that victory will not come easily. In the doubles Bruce Blakemore, with only one loss, is currently in the number-one position. B Grader Steve Gardner continues to improve, despite a handicap reduction, to claim the leading spot after three rounds. But watch out for good mate John Murphy who is lurking close behind along with Martyn Clarke who will no doubt be challenging them both as the season unfolds. The doubles however is a wide open affair with honours shared amongst at least six players so there will be some jostling in the coming weeks. No surprise to see young Lucas Gore on top of the ladder in C Grade as he can challenge any calibre player with his attacking style. Improvers Sunny Lidden and Matthew Duncan are the obvious contenders to unseat Lucas along with veterans Brad Muller and Steve Campbell. The doubles however has Richard a clear front-runner with his spinning serves and quick counter hitting the perfect combination for any partner. He may be wheelchair bound but take him lightly… at your peril! Competition night is Wednesday from 7pm with practice session on Monday nights from 7.15pm. Social groups meet three afternoons a week and all sessions are held at the Bicentennial Centre Sunshine Beach. Please call 5474 5526 for any further information.

MORE than $1600 was raised for breast cancer research at the Cooroy Golf Club Tee-Off for Breast Cancer day last Thursday. The group of women golfers brought out the big swings to help raise funds for breast cancer research and support services. To add even more fun to the day, golfers were able to buy “escape” tickets, which could be used instead of putting or to get out of trouble without penalty. A raffle was also run with the support of Cooroy veterans and a charity night with the help of Noosa River and Canal Cruises helped raise $1669. Thirty-two golfers helped raise the funds, with the winners Shay Zulpo, Carmel Clark and Assunta Easton all taking home a cruise voucher from Noosa River and Canal Cruises. Maria Taurer was also a winner, hitting a hole-inone on the sixth hole.

Big mob in the swim By TONY FROST WITH a team of 24 swimmers, Noosa Masters Swim Club is sending one of the largest contingents from among Australian clubs to the Pan Pacific Masters Games at the Gold Coast, next week. Swimming events will take place over three days, 6 to 8 November, at the Southport Aquatic Centre, and the open water swim at Currumbin on 9 November. The Southport Aquatic Centre is the beneficiary of a $42 million makeover by Queensland State Government, in readiness for the 2018 Commonwealth Games. This biennial event, the Pan Pacific Masters Games has attracted athletes from most Pacific Rim countries, including Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Canada, USA, New Zealand and Australia. Club president Ian Tucker said all competitors were heading to the games ready to win. “Following the success of seven of our members who travelled in August to Montreal, Canada, for the World Masters Swimming Championships, where three achieved Top 10 finishes in eleven events, all 24 swimmers are heading to the Gold Coast with a positive mindset,” he said. The Noosa team includes Rodney Alfredson, Dyanna Benny, Gillian Benstead, Jan Croft, Julia Dunstall, Joyce Faunce, Lois Hill, Brian Hoepper, Rob Jolly, Stepha-

David Falla game-side at the NRL grand final.

Fallas – winners all the way The Noosa team of 24 are taking on the Pan Pacific Masters Games next week. nie Jones, Mary Lester, Rob Lucas, Helen Malar, Studley Martin, Bob Morse, Jane Powell, Mar Powell, Grindle Rudder, Robyn Selby, Jacky Shields, Clinton Stanley, Adele Tucker, Ian Tucker and Wendy Twidale. A regular at the Pan Pacs is our own Joyce Faunce, who has swum

in all the Games since 2002. Joyce’s first foray into swimming competition started almost 80 years ago as a teenager in the UK, representing England in the 1938 Empire Games, only to be denied Olympic glory by the outbreak of World War II. After a layoff of almost 60

years, raising a family and migrating to Australia, Joyce was inspired by the opening of the Noosa Aquatic Centre in 1999, and her effortless style is still being admired by all her fellow swimmers. Watch out for Joyce in the 50 metres freestyle event for ladies, 90-94 years.

IT WAS an absolute ripper for NRL fan and Noosa Today footy competition winner, David Falla from Laguna Sign. The lucky winner took his wife, Jo, to the NRL grand final after a stellar effort in the Noosa Today NRF footy competition. David and Jo enjoyed great seats, as well as food, drinks and a cruise to get to the grand final game, plus two nights accommodation. The pair also celebrated their wedding anniversary the same weekend. Congratulations to David and Jo.

Noosa’s North Shore has again seen good schools of tailor, nice bream and the odd Jewfish, again this has been a little wind affected but the early tide has brought good results. On behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your Richard Allan from Hamilton, New Zealand, with a 15kg mulloway which he boated on a Cougar One charter to North Reef. fishing adventures!

THE offshore crew have been up early to beat the wind. Offshore the wind is still a factor, it’s tending to pick up midmorning, and this has seen the offshore angler heading out early. For the smaller craft, the inner reefs have been the place to be, with bigger fish feeding, as we have just had a new moon the ideal time to fish is the morning bite. Reefs like Sunshine, Halls and Chardon’s have all seen some outstanding results with goodsized snapper, maori cod, cobia and sweetlip all on the menu. If you are going to head out to the Banks, make sure you check the

weather it’s a long home if it blows up, the bigger boats that have made the trip have been spoilt with big snapper and pearl perch. The bay again has been fishing well with the tuna hitting the bait schools just offshore. The river mouth has been the place to be for those of us stuck onshore, trevally, tailor and goodsized flaties have been feeding on schools of bait with the early tides. School Jew have also been smashing small slugs and fast moving soft plastics. Heading upriver good sized whiting are still around the dog beach and Frying Pan area. The Gympie terrace stretch has seen good-sized bream with the odd trevally thrown in.

THREE locals are on their way to New Zealand to tackle the 29th Trans-Tasman Mountain race at Mt Kawerau. Having already conquered the Pomona King of the Mountain, school teachers Kim Beckinsale and Leslie Saunders will join personal trainer Bryce Hegarty in the New Zealand challenge. Kicking off this Saturday, the trio have all competed in the Trans-Tasman race before, and are familiar with the gruelling task ahead, but they’re up for the challenge. Pomona’s sister mountain race challenge has been running since 1985, with the best place getters representing their nation at the New Zealand race every year.

United in purpose By RON LANE ON Friday afternoon at 4pm it became official – all matters regarding the amalgamation of the Noosa Heads and Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Clubs were finalised – both clubs are now working as one. Noosa club captain Joe Cirello said: “Now we are working together the relationship between our two groups is very good and our patrol rosters are fine. In other words we have achieved what we set out to do.” Sunshine reported another quite weekend with windy conditions keeping a lot of people away. However the Nippers braved the conditions and a full-on program was conducted. With Noosa's Main Beach being protected from the winds big crowds were in attendance and the Nippers were busy. For the competitors, this weekend will be busy with our clubbies travelling to the Gold Coast to contest the Coolangatta Gold. Noosa will be represented by a team of eight; four masters, three ladies in the open ladies' division, and one male in the open men's. Sunshine Beach young rookie Tom Wilson will contest his first ever Gold in the under-19 division. We wish them well. At Noosa on Saturday, 21 members, officials, coaches, rowers and supporters assembled for the first full on meeting of the surf boat section.

Between the

flags RON LANE

Boat captain Phil Bowden welcomed the members and following this head boat coach Dave Toombie chaired the meeting. Right from the start Toombie came across as being organised and up front and his opening remark, “I am here to listen,” certainly set the pattern. He went on to speak of the importance of a well-balanced program, with everyone having input regarding all aspects of training. He then emphasised the importance of a good structure. “Not only is this necessary for all crews but it will also help to attract new members.” He added: “To win we must always have an open and honest philosophy.” With so much of today's rescue work revolving around the Inflatable Rescue Boat, (IRB) it followers that to have all crewies and drivers trained to their full capacity they must participate in IRB racing. Because patrol duties require their attendance at their respective beaches during the summer months, their carnivals are held in winter. To update Noosa's ideas on training and techniques, IRB officials David James and Chris Vaughan invited State Centre competition advisor

Michael Cook to Noosa to conduct a training session. Also attending was Sunshine Beach IRB officer Paul Brady who at present is training for his Level 1 coaching certificate. With 16 members in attendance Cook started by explaining the rules and requirements of racing. Moving to the boats, the crewies were taught the importance of body positions and boarding the craft. Drivers discussed in depth, control of the boats, reading the surf and manipulating the break. Factors such as these are not only important in racing but also in rescue situations. A quick response time in leaving the beach and the ability to correctly read the breaking surf that they must navigate could mean the difference between life and death. Among the crewies were six girls, and despite the average age being 17 they really were a match for the young men. When asked what their parents felt regarding their patrol work, they were all unanimous that at first the parents were a bit nervous but were now happy with the situation. The fact that not only Noosa, but all other clubs in Australia, have young girls who are prepared to go in harm’s way to perform their duty as patrolling lifesavers, speaks volumes for the type of youth now joining our organisation.

National recognition for Nippers By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA’S Seahorse Nippers program is taking the country by storm and has received national recognition after it was named the Australian Community Program of the Year this week. The innovative Noosa Surf Life Saving Club’ program allows special-needs children the chance to experience the joys of beach activities including relays, flag races, surfing and more. The idea was the brainchild of Noosa residents Steve and Nikki Mawby, as well as Lorna Garden, who have grown Seahorse Nippers into a thriving community service with 55 young members and 80 lifesaver volunteers. “The original idea for Seahorse Nippers came from Pambula Beach in NSW and was thanks to Michelle and Peter Bootes - where we first discovered the idea and adapted it into our own,” Mr Mawby said. Mr Mawby said the Seahorse Nippers community program award had prompted surf clubs from around Australia to make contact. “We have been overwhelmed with the response from clubs around Australia wanting to know more and wanting information to get their own programs started,” he said. Mr Mawby said some of the members had rarely seen the beach before starting with Seahorse Nippers and some had not stepped a foot in the sand. “When some of the kids see the beach and feel the sand for the first time, it’s quite a shock and they can be afraid,” he said. “But once they get used to it and start getting involved and seeing the other kids, they start to have the time of their lives.” Redcliffe and North Burleigh are already onboard with their own programs and several expressions of interest have come from clubs across

The Seahorse Nippers program has been putting a smile on the face of young kids since April 2013.

Nippers in carnival mood LAST weekend over 80 Sunshine Beach Nippers along with their support crew of water safety, officials, sunblock appliers, esky carriers and tent managers, converged on Rainbow Beach to compete in this year’s Junior Banjo’s Memorial Carnival. It is the first and only carnival of the season where all Nipper age groups from U8 to U15 participate. The day proved a truly festive occasion with plenty of camaraderie and smiles among the 13 competing surf clubs. For many, this was their first carnival experience and for some, their first experience with waves.
