Noosa – it tastes so good THOUSANDS of locals, visitors, budding chefs, wine enthusiasts and producers from around the globe flocked to Noosa for the International Food and Wine Festival over the weekend. Unlike last year, the sun shone on the festival village with only a sprinkling of rain on the Sunday that didn’t deter the crowds. A host of events were offered this year, with something for every foodie’s taste from Asian inspired food trails to women’s networking lunches and a producer’s hall where locals and visitors could buy some of the world’s best products from cheese to caviar and everything in between. Noosa Heads Officer in Charge Senior Sergeant Steve McReight said event goers were well-behaved, with no major incidents reported during the Finalists in Australia’s Best Home Cooked Dish Competition 2015: John Beany of Melbourne, Louise Di Virgilio of Adelaide, Beth McMillan from Sydney, April Copf of Perth and Jacqui Smythe at the Noosa International Food and Wine Festival.

Sea change planned By JOLENE OGLE THE net has been cast wide for Fisheries Queensland, which is likely to undergo major reform following the release of a report that outlines 80 substantial recommendations. It has vowed to rip off the BandAids that have been patching up policy in the past, with a view to boosting fish stocks and more closely monitoring commercial catches. All Noosa locals are invited to have their say on the recommendations and independent report into Queensland’s fisheries management, with all aspects of commercial, rec-

reational and traditional fishing open for scrutiny. Agriculture and Fisheries Minister Bill Byrne said the report, prepared by MRAG Asia Pacific, recommends significant long-term changes to the current fisheries management arrangements. “The report makes 80 substantial recommendations, including significantly altering the allocation of fisheries resources,” he said. The government has released the previously restricted report and is encouraging locals to have their say on the recommendations for commercial, recreational and traditional fishing.

The report states the current fisheries management system is “by any measure, exceedingly complex and inadequate to deal with the modern challenges”. “Many stakeholders have characterised the current arrangements as ‘Band-Aids upon Band-Aids’ and this is not too far from the mark,” the report said. From the 17 public meetings with 500 attendees and 280 written submissions received from fishers, environmentalists, government agencies and others during last year’s review process, the report found Queenslanders want clear govern-

ment policy framework and unambiguous legislation. Healthy fish stocks and aquatic ecosystems, secure rights to a sustainable share of the catch, timely and transparent decision-making, and sufficient resourcing to meet management needs were among the top demands from review respondents. The recommendations include developing a credible system to independently verify information reported in commercial catch and effort logbooks, the re-establishment of the independent scientific observer program, plus all buyers of com-

mercial fish in Queensland should be registered and have an obligation to periodically report their purchases to Fisheries Queensland (FQ). If the recommendations are adopted they are expected to benefit commercial, recreational, and customary fishers as well as future generations and the environment with improved maintenance of fish stock. Noosa commercial, recreational and traditional fishers are invited to have their say, along with locals who want to share their view.

Alice Cooper is teed off

CROWDS flocked to Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort on Monday morning to catch a glimpse of rock music royalty Alice Cooper as he teed off. Hosted by Zinc 96.1 FM, the Alice Cooper Celebrity Golf Day was arranged to align with Alice’s upcoming Australian tour with Motley Crue. Alice teamed with his guitarist Ryan Roxie and manager Shep Gordon to join local businessmen including John Madden, Ben Carreira and Ross Turner in a ‘friendly’ tournament. Despite the less than promising forecast, the rock legend was ready and raring to hit up the greens in what was an entertaining morning of golf for all in attendance. Zinc 96.1 program director Ross Turner said he thought the promotion was like no other. “I think it’s great to align two things that would normally never be - a rock legend that plays super rocking loud music and a game of golf,” Mr Turner said. “It’s such a great opportunity for our radio station to attract such a high-profile musician to Noosa and allow him to experience the amazing surrounds of the Sunshine Coast,” promotions and marketing manager at Zinc, Jake Cosmai agreed. Alice, who is known for enjoying a hit of golf, was indeed impressed with Noosa Springs Golf Course. It was however, perhaps the two visiting pythons from Australia Zoo that stole his attention that morning.

Lunch with social butterflies SUNSHINE Butterflies and University of the Sunshine Coast students have teamed up to host a fund-raising lunch in true country style on Sunshine Butterflies’ new property. Before the first sod has even been turned, Sunshine Butterflies founders Leanne and Damien Walsh will welcome 100 lunch guests onto the property to learn about the grand plans for the new five-acre property. Patrice Hinrichs, one of the

six students involved in the final year Public Relations program, said it was a stressful but fabulous real-world experience hosting an event. “You don’t realise until you are in the midst of the event planning, all the nitty-gritty details that need to be done in a short timeframe to pull off a successful event; so luckily we are working with great clients Leanne and Damien,” Patrice said.

Since their last visit in March 2014, Peter and Judy have helped build an office for the school as well as a sewing room with 12 sewing machines where local women can learn to sew and generate income for their families. “We’ve achieved a lot in a short amount of time,” Judy said. “Now we just need to keep up the momentum.” Judy said volunteers are always needed in the school and the volunteer work would suit retirees who have the time to help. “It’s very economical to live in Cambodia and it is such a joy to work with the children,” she said. The charity is now tax deductible and all donations are used to help buy equipment to help teach villagers practical skills they can use to become economically self-sufficient.

Judy Malzard and Peter McDonald are not your normal retirees, heading to Cambodia this week to help run a school for village children.

URA

NOOSAVILLE retirees Peter McDonald and Judy Malzard are once again packing their bags to head to Cambodia, but they’re not on holiday - Peter and Judy are busy helping run a school. The dynamic pair are not your typical retirees, preferring to throw their energy into developing a sustainable village for the residents of Bospo, near Battambang, rather than relax and enjoy the Noosa lifestyle. Peter and Judy first happened upon the school in 2013 when they were cycling throughout Europe and SouthEast Asia and while not everyone believes in fate, it was an unexpected turn of events that led Peter and Judy to the impoverished classrooms of Bospo Village in Cambodia. “Peter wanted to climb Mount Kinabalu but he got altitude sickness. So we were in Phuket and he said he wanted to try again,” Judy said. “Usually you have to book six months in advance but I emailed the company anyway.” Judy was pleasantly surprised when the company replied to say there was one position available for Peter.

Strangely, any further contact with the company went unanswered and the couple found themselves in Phuket wondering what to do next. Judy said they decided to try volunteering and found the Khmer New Generation Organisation (KNGO) for English teacher volunteers in Bospo Village, Cambodia. Founded by five university students, including the Bospo village program founder Sun Saveth, KNGO is a not-forprofit community organisation that provides free education programs to children in need. “We said we would try (volunteering) for a few days but ended up staying six weeks,” Judy said. Very quickly, the students found their way into the hearts of Peter and Judy who now dedicate their time to raising funds for the school while in Australia and travelling to the school to volunteer for up to five months. Judy and Peter have become the school’s main supporters, growing student numbers from just 20 students in 2008 to 500 with a waiting list of 350 children. The school, which is run by registered charity Khmer New Generation Organisa-

Your efforts are appreciated National Volunteer Week from 11 to 17 May is all about celebrating and showcasing the wonderful work of volunteers in Australia. Noosa has an abundance of volunteers so this week Noosa Today brings the second instalment of some of Noosa’s wonderful volunteers who donate their time to help make the community a better place for all. To those who give so much and expect so little in return, Noosa Today says thank you for your generosity.

Getting their acts together By KATIE DE VERTEUIL NOOSA Arts Theatre is renowned as one of the shire’s prime cultural centres, greatly popular with both locals and tourists alike throughout the year. It is however, the dedication of a small group of humble yet hardworking volunteers that truly is the life of the local theatre. Lurking behind the scenes every Tuesday and Thursday morning are the delightful members of “Secret Men’s Business’ (SMB), a motley crew drawn together through mutual love of the arts, creativity flare and home-baked choc-chip cookies. Hours of their time are spent preparing costumes, sets, electrics and much more to ensure that each performance at the theatre goes above and beyond the audience’s expectations. The group has been around for almost 50 years, dating back to the original establishment of the arts theatre. While the members are all too spritely to have been around since the beginning, many have been part of the SMB for at least 20 years. Aged between 60 and 85, most of the volunteers are men, indeed in the last couple of years the group has become affiliated with the Men’s Shed initiative. There are however, two lovely and highly talented ladies responsible for the costumes and keeping the men in order of course. Nelson and Barbara Tomlin have been volunteering with SMB for the past 28 years. Both lovers of the theatre, the couple enjoy both the company of the group and the satisfaction which comes as a result of their hard work. “There is definitely a huge sense of satisfaction,” Barbara said. “When the curtains open and reveal the set,and you hear the reactions from the crowd, it is always a very proud moment.” The group’s newest member Brent Harvey is only two months in and he is already loving it. “It’s a very open and welcoming group, with diverse skill sets and personalities that just work so perfectly

Fortunately for Brent, there is no expectation that he will be leaving anytime soon, in fact it seems that once in, you’re in for life. “It’s a great bunch of people and a way for us to use our skills and give back to the community,” fellow member Mike Nixon added. “ We all have a really good time too, why would we want to leave.” Noosa Arts Theatre’s Jodie Brezzi said the theatre would be lost without the help of SMB. “ Our 12 men are simply terrific to surround sound music they sweat, hammer, drill, paint, saw and laugh,” she said. “Not only this, they design all of our sets and create brilliant lighting and sound systems. They have real verve and are an invaluable part of Noosa Arts Theatres’ silent volunteers.” The SMB team are currently working on the set and costumes for the upcoming One Act Play Festival, which is sure to be another hit.

Caring and creative By KATIE DE VERTEUIL MILES Hunting has lived in Noosa since 2003, having moved to the area from the UK. For the past eight years he has been a much-loved volunteer at Noosa Regional Gallery, devoting his time once a week to the local creative hub. Miles also volunteered at the Noosa Vistor’s Centre for two years and with Land for Wildlife for the past seven years. WHY do you volunteer? I am a bit of an artist myself and I thought by volunteering at the gallery I would be able to do something interesting, get out in the community while being around something you enjoy.

WHAT do you like most about volunteering? I like the social side of it. If I’m honest, I’ve never looked at it as doing some-

thing to help people, but more as a personal interest and something to commit to once a week. WHAT do you love most about Noosa? It would have to be the laid back lifestyle, slow pace of life and climate. I know there is no way I could go back and live in the hustle and bustle that is England. PLEASE name one thing on your bucket list. Travel to South America. WHAT is something most people don’t know about you? I am very interested in the environment and passionate about looking after the natural area where I live. I am also involved in the glossy black cockatoos conservatory and report sightings of the birds on our property on a regular basis.

A sneak peak inside the Kings' home.

With views like this, it's no wonder the Panorama Drive home was chosen to feature on the 7Two program.

Living room studio By JOLENE OGLE LOCATED on elevated Panorama Drive and with views that will take the breath away is Jan and Jennie King’s home - the latest abode to feature on Channel 7’s Australia’s Best Houses. Due to air on 14 June, Australia’s Best Houses will showcase number 105 Panorama Drive and all the beauty that is contained inside the amazing home. The couple's home is both inspiring and tranquil with warm and inviting decor and design elements that quickly puts visitors at ease. Jan and Jennie said it was love at first sight when they viewed the home at an open house. “We were looking for a home in the Hinterland. We wanted something bigger,” Jennie said. “We came for a look (at number 105) and just fell in love with it.” Among their favourite features of the home, the Kings' list the purposebuilt, soundproof home theatre, plus the light-filled living spaces as their favourite places to relax. “We love this home because it is classy, solidly built and we love the light,” Jennie said. “We like that as you walk through every room, you have a view. It’s very tranquil here. It’s secluded and it’s private but still so close to Noosa.” And then there is the view. A long-line vista from the sandy hills of Noosa North Shore to Noosa Heads and down to Peregian Beach; the view from the covered balconies of number 105 are simply stunning.

The home has been styled by Jennie, who said she liked the light and relaxed feeling of the property.

And the Kings have made the most of the amazing outlook at every opportunity with large mirrors and strategically placed windows at the entrance of the home to frame the view, while the mirrors are repeated downstairs so that every room you move through captures the stunning vista. When Jan and Jennie found out their home was to feature on Australia’s Best Houses they said they were shocked. “We were stunned,” Jennie said. “We were very surprised but we were so excited and we felt honoured. You don’t get opportunities like this every day.” Number 105 is currently on the market and Fiona Winter of Fiona Winter Realty said the filming of the property is a great opportunity for the Kings. “This is something completely

different for them,” she said. “Gary (Australia’s Best Houses host) had in-depth conversations with Jennie and Jan and found out a lot of information about the property and owners.” This isn’t the first home Fiona has marketed a property that has also featured on a television show with a property being selected to star on the Lifestyle channel’s Location, Location, Location program. Australia’s Best Houses presenter Gary Tackle and his film crew spent more than two hours touring the Kings' home and finding out what makes their home so unique. Australia’s Best Houses featuring Number 105 Panorama Drive, Doonan, will air on the 7Two network, Sunday 14 June from 10.30pm to 11pm. Check local TV guides for times and dates.

Scientist in the making Youth

positive By KATIE DE VERTEUIL WHEN it comes to science, 17-year-old Adrian Hindes is in his element. Born in El Salvador, the Good Shepherd student took a keen interest in science and technology when he moved to Australia at the age of five. “I’ve always been interested in science, from when I was really young,” Adrian said. “I was always curious, and on my seventh or eighth birthday I was given a microscope, which I absolutely loved and I began looking around for things to put under it. “School science was always interesting for me, I guess I was always a nerd,” he laughed. “While most of my classmates found it boring, I would always go above and beyond with school science projects, and love getting experiment kits - one with sulphur stunk out the house.” Throughout high school, the Good Shepherd student has continued his love for science, always exceeding expectations. In Year 10, Adrian was indeed so far ahead of his classmates that he participated in an alternative science program for the gifted and talented. In January this year, Adrian was one of 400 young Australians who attended the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF). Adrian’s most notable achievement to date, is however, his recent selection for arguably one of the most prestigious program available; the Research Science In-

stitute Summer School (RSI), held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston. One of only two students chosen for this remarkable opportunity, Adrian will travel to RSI in June this year and complete a six-week program at the university. The heart of the program is the five-week long internship, where students conduct cutting edge research projects under the tutelage of some of the most experienced and well-versed mentors in their field. Adrian’s project will either be on plasma physics or nano materials, two areas in which he has great interest. For Adrian, whose ambition is to be one of the scientists to develop nuclear fusion as an alternate source of energy, this opportunity will create amazing networks and opportunities. “It’s a mind-blowing opportunity,” Adrian said. “My dream has always been to do real scientific research, but having the chance to do so at one of the world’s top universities is just something else.” Once Adrian completes his final year of high-school, he hopes to study physics at university. Ultimately, the ambitious youth would like to work for ITER, a large-scale scientific project intended to prove the viability of fusion as an energy source, and to collect the data necessary for the design and subsequent operation of the first electricity-producing fusion power plant. To help Adrian achieve his dreams, sponsorship funding or donations from individuals, local businesses and Rotary clubs to cover travel costs for his upcoming internship would be greatly welcomed. Visit www.gofundme.com/adriantoboston or contact Adrian at adrian@soulspace.com.au. Donations above $2 are tax-deductible.

Adrian Hindes is embarking on the experience of a lifetime in June when he travels to the United States of America as one of only two Australian students and 80 students globally, chosen to attend the summer school, held annually at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston.

Budget delivers on roads NOOSA Council will receive over $1.1 million in funding from the Federal Budget under the Roads to Recovery program to help improve local roads. Local councils in the Wide Bay area will share in $13.5 million and the Noosa Council is expected to allocate the funding in the next budget meeting. Federal Wide Bay MP and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said the Budget also commited funding to progress the Cooroy to Curra fourlane upgrade of the Bruce Highway. “The Budget delivers $55 million to complete Section A from Cooroy to Sankeys Road,” he said. “Funding is also provided to start work on Section C, between Traveston Road and Gympie with $40 million committed in the next financial year to start the project.” Once Section A and C are complete, there will be a four-lane highway from Melbourne to Gympie, which Mr Truss describes as a benefit to local industry and the community. “The highway will be faster, safer and less prone to flooding,” he said.

Bus fuss won't die down By JOLENE OGLE THE issue of bus route 628 using Creek Road, Wylah Street and Swan Street is “not over” according to Noosa Councillor Frank Pardon who said he wanted to hear from the locals. Last week Noosa Today reported the petition presented to parliament to have the buses stopped was rejected by the Minister for Transport and Member for Noosa Glen Elmes said the “matter was closed”. Noosa Today also reported 25 of the 146 signatories to the petition were from Creek Road, 11 of whom are not registered on the electoral roll, while there were no signatories from Swan and Wylah Streets. Cr Pardon said media reports about the bus route issue are not a “reflection” of his experience in talking to locals. “My experience from speaking with the locals is the exact opposite,” he said. “I know from talking with people that they don’t want the bus to

the buses stop using the roads, but Cr Pardon said another solution needed to be found so the residents of the retirement village could continue to access public transport. “One of my election promises was to fight for this issue,” Cr Pardon said. “And I plan to stick by that.

But, if the residents tell me they don’t mind the buses and they want it left as is, then I will walk away.” Cr Pardon is urging any local residents of the affected area to phone or email him to share their opinion - phone 5329 6102 or email frank.pardon@noosa.qld. gov.au.

The Kokoda Youth Challenge will be held in the Gold Coast hinterland in July and is a chance for students and teachers to join together to complete the track that is the same length as the Kokoda Trail. The Noosa District State High School (NDSHS) Kokoda team

have been busy training and fundraising for the Kokoda Youth Challenge, with their training schedule gradually increasing in preparation for what will be a tough challenge.

They’ve been a round By KATIE DE VERTEUIL THERE were smiles all round at Cooroy Golf Course recently, when the first All Abilities Golf Day for the season kicked off. Co-ordinated by local joyologist Mark Bright, the program works to welcome those with disabilities into the world of golf, encouraging people to accept the challenge and embrace a new experience that many would have thought impossible. All Abilities Golf Excursions encourage social engagement, exploration of nature and the philosophy that we can all achieve if we just… “give it a go.” “Golf is a game that noosa.starcommunity.com.au

teaches us many things about ourselves, each other and those essential life lessons we all need,” Mr Bright said. “There is more to it than just getting the ball into the hole. “These excursions are a shared experience, tailored to every group and address the individual needs and abilities of the individual. “And we all get together, out in the beautiful sunshine and have some fun, which is the most important thing.” The group meets once every couple of weeks. Huge improvements have already been shown by players. For more information visit www.joyologynow.com.au.

also take part in the gruelling challenge over 18 and 19 July, with 88 students and 22 teachers completing the 48km school challenge in teams of four. Each team is aiming to raise $350 each for the Kokoda Youth Foundation. Established in 2004, the Kokoda Youth Foundation supports young people inspiring them to do extraordinary things, challenge their deeply held beliefs and explore their limits and abilities.

5000 steps stairing Kate in the face By KATIE DE VERTEUIL IF YOU thought those few stairs to your office each morning were challenging enough, how about tackling 5000 plus. Noosa’s Kate Davidson is preparing to do exactly that, as she trains with a team to take part in the ultimate stair climb challenge Stadium Stomp Gabba on Sunday 21 June. Now in its second year, Stadium Stomp Gabba provides entrants with the one-off opportunity to take on the 5000 plus steps on seating Levels 2 and 4 of the renowned Brisbane Cricket Ground in Woolloongabba while raising money for a nominated charity at the same time. A personal trainer at EFM healthclub, Kate is sure to find the challenge a little less daunting than many and it is rather her desire to help increase the fitness of those around her as well as raising money for a worthy cause that drew her to the event. “I’m hoping to round up as many people from the Noosa community as possible to join me at the Gabba,” Kate said. “As a trainer I always encourage people to set themselves regular challenges, through which they can push themselves and guarantee great results.” Supporting the event’s official charity The Mater Children’s Hospital, Kate hopes that between her and her team a target of $3000 can be reached. Anyone interested in joining Kate’s team can visit; www.facebook.com/Kate. Davidson.Personal.Trainer.

Ceramics a hands-on experience Kids light the lights LISA Brummel can’t wait to share her love of ceramics with the local community. So it’s by no coincidence that she is the latest artist in residence at the Cooroy Butter Factory PopUp Art Exhibition. For Lisa, working with clay is a catharsis - relaxing and therapeutic - but it wasn’t until late in her art studies that she first came across the medium. “While my passion was hand raised metal forms when undertaking my degree at Monash, it wasn’t until I did a Diploma in Creative Arts at the then Tewantin TAFE that I fell in love with ceramics,” she said. “Pouring myself into the clay I often achieve an almost meditative state.” Lisa said she was delighted to be invited to become Artist

in Residence at the PopUp Art Exhibition. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for me to be with these exceptional exhibiting artists and to see myself in the public’s eyes,” she said. Lisa welcomes the exhibition visitors to sit with her, learn and work with some clay if they’d like. “And to also touch and feel my creations… the soul of the product can only be experienced when you touch. “You don’t get that when you just look,” she said. Lisa Brummel is Artist in Residence at the PopUp Art Series Exhibition at the Butter Factory Arts Centre Cooroy until 30 June.

NOOSA District State High School’s Live Production students embarked on an epic voyage recently.

Ceramist Lisa Brummel is the latest artist in residence at the Cooroy Butter Factory PopUp Art Exhibition.

As part of their course work, students planned, rigged, tested and operated lighting for Noosa Arts Theatre’s Queensland premiere of David Williamson's “Cruise Control”. The production played to 18 sold-out audiences over three weeks and gave the students an opportunity to mix with actors, a director, costume and stage management at one of the Sunshine Coast’s principle theatre locations. The unique learning environment at the theatre tested students' problem-solving and technical skills. The lighting design, by teacher Peter Gorman, incorporated the traditional use of incandescent theatre lanterns in combination with LED technology to create the various cruise ship environments. Students Renae Cooper, Mackenzie Allen, Emily Gorman, Khan Gleeson and Fraser Grey assisted in the planning and rigging for the production. Both Fraser and Mackenzie op-

NDSHS Live Production Certificate III students Emily Gorman, Renae Cooper, Khan Gleeson, Mackenzie Allen and Fraser Grey. erated the LED console during the technical rehearsals and throughout the run, with Fraser taking the role of lead electrician throughout the pre-production and production. Congratulations also to Fraser who will be seconded to Travis Macfarlane, Technical Manager for the Noosa Longweekend. The students would like to thank Noosa Arts for allowing them these opportunities and look forward to further projects. noosa.starcommunity.com.au

Plans to expand the shed By KATIE DE VERTEUIL AS the Noosa Men’s Shed’s first year draws toward a close, the group is celebrating its success in obtaining a grant in excess of $33,000 from the Queensland Gambling Community Benefit Fund. This grant was sought to enable the construction of a second workshop with a focus on metal work. Men’s Shed president Peter Magarry said construction would commence within weeks and was expected to be finished well before the close of 2015. In addition to the grant monies from the benefit fund, the Men’s Shed will fundraise to landscape and equip the building. Extremely grateful for the grant, the shed’s secretary Ian Broadfoot

said the funds create an opportunity to widen the scope of things for the local community group. “Of our members, about half are interested in woodwork and another significant portion either have skills in or are interested to learn about metal work,” Mr Broadfoot said. The shedders are currently undergoing discussions as to possible in-house training for the new workshop as well as what facilities to include. Mr Broadfoot said the new shed was looking to be completed by late September. With around 70 members, the shed team are hoping that with increased facilities and funding, opening hours and meeting times will increase to allow for greater use of the location.

A lot to experience in shire By KATIE DE VERTEUIL WITH the abundance of creativity and artistic flare that continuously oozes out of the Shire, Noosa Today reporter KATIE DE VERTEUIL brings you a quick look around at current and upcoming exhibitions at some of our local galleries. Noosa Regional Gallery Noosa Regional Gallery has launched two exciting exhibitions this month, From Here and There and Tales from the Eastern Highlands. Across a wide range of media including painting, photography, traditional cultural craft, sound and video From Here and There presents contemporary works by Australian South Sea Island artists including: Krishna Nahow; Jasmine TogoBrisby; Luther Cora and Gemma Tammock. It also includes material from private and public collections including the State Library of Queensland. Tales from the Eastern Highlands is just as intriguing an exhibition, with work made using a hand-cut vinyl technique and is the autobiographical creation of Ulrike Sturm. The pieces in this exhibition are highly personal, based on sketches by Ulrike from family photos during his time in Papua New Guinea in the ’70s. “These are very special exhibitions highlighting important cultural heritage and Australia/Pacific island relationships,” Noosa Regional Gallery Director Nina Shadforth said. “They are only here for a short time and not to be missed.” Noosa Regional Gallery is located at 9 Pelican Street, Tewantin. Pomona Railway Station Gallery Watercolours will be brightening up Pomona’s iconic art gallery from

The exhibition will feature paintings by a group of advanced water colourists that has been painting together for many years. The group, initially tutored by Holly Simpson has now been taken on by professional local artist Lyn Fraser-Roberts. The paintings on display have been submitted by many of the almost 20 strong group, under the guidance of Fraser-Roberts. Usually painted in a traditional style, the paintings are bright, lively and pleasurable to the eye. The opening for this talented group exhibition will be held on Saturday 30 May. Pomona Railway Station Gallery is located at 10 Station Street, Po-

Knitters and Weavers are presenting a natural fibre exhibition from 29 May through to 31. With an eye for great design and exquisite craftsmanship the members are dedicated to supporting and showcasing the use of natural fibres. In this, the group’s second exhibition, the craftspeople will present a unique range of handcrafted garments inspired by an array of beautiful natural fibres, including alpaca, silk, wool, cotton and bamboo. The craftworks represented range from felting, weaving, hand spun and hand dyed garments. The exhibition opens on Friday 29 May from 12pm to 3pm where there will be light refreshments served and an opportunity to meet the crafts people. Wallace House is located at 1 Wallace Drive, Noosaville.

A cuppa’s a treat for a cure By KATIE DE VERTEUIL

Event organisers Kathi Gow and Annie Evans are hoping for another good turnout at this year’s Biggest Morning Tea, 28 May. 10 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 21 May, 2015

DELICIOUS home-baked treats washed down with steamy beverages and all for a good cause. Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is on again, with Thursday 28 May marking the national event to raise funds and awareness for the Cancer Council. To show their support, the local branch of the Queensland Cancer Council will be holding an event at the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club,

Gympie Terrace, Noosaville. The morning tea will begin at 9.30am with lucky door prizes and raffles along with an abundance of sweet and savoury treats to tempt the tastebuds. Organiser Annie Evans said the morning tea was a simple and fun way to support an incredibly worthy cause. “Too many of my friends have gone through cancer and this is a way I could support them and continued research for a cancer-free future,” Annie said.

“There are so many in our community affected in some way by cancer and this is something small that can make a big difference.” Annie said the group of volunteers were hoping to beat last year’s total of $2200. Entry is $10. For catering purposes it is preferable that tables are booked in advance, however entry can also be purchased at the door. For all bookings and inquiries, phone Annie on 0409 385 566. noosa.starcommunity.com.au

Ebony, Angel and Rusty from Friends of the Hound rescue group.

Kind against the cruelest MORE than 800 pups took to the Noosa River esplanade on Sunday for the 2015 RSPCA Million Paws Walk in a bid to raise funds for the fight against animal cruelty. The Million Paws Walk is an annual event and is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the

RSPCA which expects more than 15,000 dogs to enter shelters each year. State wide, more than 20,000 pups walked at 19 different locations to help raise more than $400,000 for the Queensland RSPCA.

Rescued pup Coco was busy practising her sit, drop and stay tricks for the competition.

LETTERS Batting on ONCE again I note that the advocates of bats in the Wallace park region are non-residents of the area, and could hardly have any understanding of what conditions the residents of Wallace Park and its surrounds have had to put up with over the past three years, nor their alarm at the sight of an ever-increasing multitude of bats adorning the trees. It is not that the Wallace Park residents and surrounds detest bats and do not recognise their use in the ecosystem, and pollination process, it is just that having been kept awake for most of the night, day after day, having had difficulty breathing, having to constantly wash down furniture, rooves, pathways, vehicles and so on, all because bats decided to live in the area post human habitation of the region. We as residents have had enough, and we say to the advocates if you really want to know what it is like to live under a bat plague, come and live in the area ... there are plenty of houses for sale. Kay Fielden, Tewantin.

Candyman can WHY would anyone want to knock The Candyman as shown on Channel 9's Gem, 18 May. He’s just a guy that's come up with a different version of a “men's shed.“ Plus he’s taking a lot of pressure away from us guys? Good luck to him, he’s just become Australia's Hugh Heffner and its only envy that his critics are showing against him. Anyway don’t put all the blame on him, he couldn’t live that way without the girls putting themselves out there. E. Wright, Sunrise Beach.

he tells you to go to the website. What happened to the last $2.5 million collected as environmental levy? Could you answer mathematically - that is that X amount went to say “purchasing environmentally sensitive land at such and such place” and “Y amount went to say such and such Landcare group” and “Z went to some other cause that the levy can be used for”. X+Y+Z = $2.5 million. The mayor is a life member and you are a member of the NPA (Noosa Parks Association) - has any of the Environmental Levy been given directly or indirectly to the NPA? If so, how much and what was it given to them for? Please tell me truly, how do I, as a ratepayer benefit from them receiving this money? Has any money been given to NBRF? If so how much and what did they get it given to them for? What benefits do I as a ratepayer get? I have asked many times what the NDF spent the $46,000 on, but still no answer. What is the actual cost of having the “jury” - not just the $46,000 but all the other costs such as lunches, transport, council staff attending and so on and how are we the ratepayers going to benefit? Tony, you say the council is not “making secretive decisions and concealing financial matters” so these questions should easily be able to be answered in a language the average Joe blow can understand. Please don’t say any of this is confidential, is operational costs, managerial costs, on the council website or ask the CEO. You have made a statement that the council is accountable and transparent so let’s see some fair dinkum, down to earth truthful answers. I’m willing to wager that Councillor Wellington will not answer my questions with a direct truthful answer. Bob Jarvis, Tewantin.

OK - open up VERY interesting article on Noosa’s open book by Tony Wellington (Noosa Today, 7 May). Maybe Tony Wellington can publicly answer a couple of questions I haven’t been able to get answers to - most time I ask questions the answers is “go to council’s website, or I can’t answer that you will have to ask the CEO”. When you go to the website it doesn’t answer the question and when you ask the CEO

TO the organisers of the (Noosa International) Food and Wine Festival. We travelled up from Sydney for the event and even though it wasn’t clear the village didn’t open until Friday night, we had an amazing time when it did open! Thanks for having us. We’ll be back next year. THANKYOU to all the pups who turned up for the RSPCA Million Paws Walk. It’s so wonderful to see so many people come out in support of the fight against animal cruelty.

TO whoever thought it was OK to put their rubbish in our mailbox, shame on you. Just because we live on a main road and it is convenient for you to put your rubbish in someone’s letterbox, doesn’t make it OK. Hold onto it until you find a bin! We had to pick your scraps of food off our returned wedding RSVPs!

14 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 21 May, 2015

Editor’s note: Noosa Today put Mr Jarvis’s questions to Councillor Tony Wellington, who has supplied the following answers. Money collected under the Environment Levy is held in the Environment Levy Reserve. As with all levies, these funds can only be spent to meet the express purpose of the levy. That purpose is defined in Noosa Council’s Environment Levy Policy. This policy was adopted at open council meetings held in January this year and is available for anyone to view on council’s website. According to the Environment Levy Policy, these funds may only be spent in one of three ways: acquisition of environmentally significant land; support for Voluntary Conservation Agreements; and contributions to the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Trust for environmental projects. The amounts allocated for these three objectives are subject to annual budget decisions. At present there are $1.8 million in reserve funds held under the Environment Levy. The Environment Levy raises $1.8 million each year, not $2.5 million. No money has been provided either directly or indirectly to Noosa Parks Association by the Noosa Council. Indeed, to my knowledge, Noosa Parks Association has never received funding from Noosa or Sunshine Coast Council and nor have they sought such funding through grants or otherwise. Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation has received funding under the 2014-’15 budget, and this is perfectly clear from budget documents and council reports. In this financial year, Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation through the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Trust was allocated $250,000 from the Environment Levy for environmental programs. From general funds it was also allocated $190,000 for start-up and operating expenses and $80,000 for economic projects. As the new organisation is still gearing up, much of that allocation has not yet been provided and so will roll over into next financial year. This financial year $50,000 was allocated to the Community Jury project which covers all expenses associated with that initiative. There are no additional transport, catering or staff costs. The jury will make a recommendation to the council that reflects the decision of its 24 resident panelists. The financial cost of the jury could be considered to be negligible compared with the scale of the issue and the future costs involved in dealing with waste. Mr Jarvis, I hope this explanation is understandable by “your average Joe“? If not, feel free to contact me. Councillor Tony Wellington, Noosa Council.

Cooroy-Noosa Genealogical and Historical Research Group Inc. members Nancy Duffield, Robyn Holton, Win Wynn, John Holton and Margaret Rickard.

It’s Back to Cooroy Day By KATIE DE VERTEUIL COOROY and district’s rich history will soon be brought to life with preparations well underway for this year’s Back to Cooroy Day. Organised by CooroyNoosa Genealogical and Historical Research Group, the event will be held at Cooroy Memorial Hall on Sunday 7 June from 10am to 3pm. The hall will be filled with insightful displays of newspaper clippings, electoral rolls, library holding catalogues and Powerpoint presentations, old photographs and much more. The day is also a wonderful opportunity for residents to come along meet and share memories with those who travel to Cooroy from afar. Families can catch up with long lost cousins, school friends will unite while others

share the bond that brings past and present residents together. There will also be a display of plans for the future Heritage Centre at Emerald Street, Cooroy, along with a number of raffles. Entry is $2 per head to cover costs and everyone is welcome. Cooroy-Noosa Genealogical and Historical Research Group’s Win Wynn said the day was an important event on the calendar. “It’s important to keep the record going of families in the area,” Win said. “Cooroy has always been a close community - now the next generations are coming through we need to pass on the stories of our past.” While organisers are working hard to ensure this year’s event proves another success, they are calling on the com-

munity for their support. “Sadly many of those who have attended previous events have since passed,” President Bev Warner said. “For this event to continue, support from the wider community is needed to take over the organising with continued support from the CooroyNoosa Genealogical and Historical Research Group. “It’s a great gathering of residents who have lived in the area, many who come back for the occasion.” Donations of sandwiches, finger food (hot/cold), slices, buttered buns, cake or biscuits would be appreciated to share for morning tea/lunch. Help to set/pack up, at the door and donations towards raffles would also be warmly welcomed. Phone 54425570 or email info@genealogynoosa.org.au. noosa.starcommunity.com.au

Nippers and vets become mates By RON LANE TO SEND people into harm’s way is one thing but to ignore them when they return is not only unacceptable but totally un-Australian. Bearing this in mind on Monday evening the Noosa Surf Club played host to a Mates 4 Mates dinner and social gathering. The guests of honour were a group of 20 disabled war veterans; 10 from the Australian Defence Force and 10 from the British Armed Forces. In attendance were life members, management and committee members from lifesaving and supporter clubs, as well as Seahorse Nippers and parents. The Noosa Mates support group was also in attendance. Donald McKill organiser for the Noosa Mates 4 Mates was Master of Ceremonies. “To be in a position where we can help organisations such as the Mates is indeed a pleasure and while you are in Noosa we intend to do all we can to make your stay one to remember… we wish you one and all the very best,” Club President Greg Cowie said in his welcome to the guests. Coming together under the patronage of the Mates 4 Mates, the visit of the veterans to Noosa is part of a golf program that is being used to help with the physical and social rehabilitation of those who have become disabled in the service of their countries. The Golf Program will continue in Noosa courtesy of organiser Donald McKill, Noosa Springs and Noosa Surf Club. To all three, our sincere thanks. “The Mates 4 Mates is a result of an initiative shown by the Queensland Sub Branch of the RSL and this is a good example of the fine work being done,” spokesman for the Australian group, Stuart Fitzpatrick, Marketing and Fundraising Manager said. “We really appreciate what the surf club is doing to assist these men and support our organisation. “However at this stage we are still in our infancy for we have been in existence for just over two years. “It is our intention to start a golfing program similar to what the Brits are doing.” Lieutenant Colonel Tristman Crew who led the British team said, “Our organisation is military run and covers many sports. “At present we have 168 service personal involved in our program and I am very happy to relate that back home we have massive support throughout the country.’’

Seahorse Nipper Jack Geitl meets a veteran.

During the evening guests were shown two film clips. One was taken from a recent BBC program which went nationwide publicising the importance of golf in the rehabilitation program. It was very well received. The other was a clip of a British Army patrol in action in Afghanistan. During this action one of those present was seriously wounded resulting in loss of limb. It was this that really bought home to those present the importance of organisations such as Mates 4 Mates. To close the official presentation all visitors received Noosa Club polo shirts, presented by members of the

Sam Dokon, Mark Urquhart, Rohan Mac Donald, Bernie Broed and Tony Benfer. Seahorse Nippers; Sam and Jasper Dokon, Jack Geitl and Rohan McDonald. For Rohan, it was indeed a night to remember. Rohan himself an amputee was warmly greeted by the veterans receiving many hugs and jokes. Master of Ceremonies Donald

McKill then introduced a special member of the Australian Veterans. His name was Jim Reilly and to the astonishment and joy of the crowd they were told that in 1988 Jim was a member of the Noosa Nippers. A recent golf tournament in Melbourne played between the Aussies

and Brits ended badly for us as the Brits came out on top. They now hold the Clyde Pearce Cup, a trophy in memory of a golf player killed in action in WW 1. We at Noosa acknowledge and respect those who have and still are serving their country.

I KNOW it’s been a few weeks now, but I am still being asked who won the fight of the century - Mayweather or Pacquiao? I haven’t changed my mind and still think that Philippine southpaw just edged out Mr Money, basically because he was the aggressor throughout the 12 round decider. I don’t think either really cares, with Floyd number one and Manny 14 on the world’s highest paid athlete list. A fact most are unaware of, is the noosa.starcommunity.com.au

degree of professionalism or pressure each poured on the other leading up to the big day. A few days before, the Nevada Athletic Commission was asked by Mayweather’s camp to inspect the cup protector of Pacquiao as they felt it was bigger than normal. So in they went to check the “cup” - a curved piece of tough leather behind which his important cargo was hiding from danger. Apparently Mayweather’s camp felt that the cup was too generously sized. How that item could have affected the outcome beats me. Now, good fight, yes, but no way the fight of the century. I know you can’t compare eras,

and I won’t talk about the great bouts before my time other than to say the epic Gene Tunney v Jack Dempsey battles were legendary, Henry Armstrong won three world championships at the same time and Joe Louis may have saved the war when he KO’d German Max Schmeling in their return bout in 1938. The Brown Bomber was the first African-American to be embraced as a national hero and destroyed Hitler’s golden boy, knocking him out in round one. So important to national pride, the President Franklin Roosevelt revved him into action with a fired up fight pep talk. But the fights I can confidently promote as better bouts, Muhammad

Ali v Joe Frazier 1971 in Madison Square Garden, and the Thriller in Manilla in ‘75 - both absolute wars. Ali’s astonishing victory over the most feared fighter in the world George Foremen, is still one of the wonders of sports history. Then you had the four guns who fired into history in the middleweight division. It really doesn’t matter which fight you choose, every one of them were, as Tina Turner says “simply the best”. Olympic champion Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvellous Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns and the great Roberto Duran. These four pugs created a dynasty that probably won’t be repeated, and like the heavyweights mentioned

earlier, all fought over 15 rounds to win the titles. In finishing today, I would like to relate something that happened to me in 1978 during a boxing tournament in Thailand. With our team coach Johnny Lewis a few of us went and visited the first of our jailed drug prisoners - Newtown league player Paul Hayward. He, along with Warren Fellows, served time after being arrested with a suitcase containing 8.4kg of heroin. Paul served 11 years and was finally allowed to come home HIV infected and died of a drug overdose in 1992. Understandably I really have no time for drugs. Until next time.

SPINALHEALTHWEEK

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Giving your back health attention OUR current population is living longer, wants to be healthy, active and mobile to enjoy those later years, however back pain and reduced mobility is now one of the top three causes of disability, affecting one in three people before retirement. In fact chiropractors are now seeing young people as young as eight years old with persistent back pain due to strain placed upon the body from poor sitting postures, mostly due to increasing technology use, i.e. phones and computers. This can impact our lives financially, emotionally and affect the quality of everything you experience, throughout life. People don’t have to have back pain or discomfort in their bodies when degenerative changes are occurring. This shows up a long time after the changes have happened, a bit like going to the dentist for a check-up, going to the chiropractor to have your spinal postural patterns assessed is a smart choice. Chiropractic is the science of locating the problems in the spine and utilises a variety of techniques to reduce the impact on the ner-

vous system, improving mobility and prevent early degenerative changes which lead to restricted mobility and back pain. One Chiropractic Health has been established in the Peregian community, and has been keeping people in a state of well-being for over nine years. Dr Jodi Davis, a chiropractor and registered intensive care nurse, is joined by Dr Geoff Clarke and a team of health professionals, Bowen therapist Denae and massage therapist Jackie and Sonceea to provide exceptional health care. To make an appointment phone 5471 3100 . One Health Chiropractic will be holding an open day on Sunday 23 May in celebration of Spinal Health Week and its success in helping people within the Sunshine Coast community. Running from 10.30 am-1pm at 1/6 Grebe Street, Peregian Beach, the day will include Spinal Health presentations by Dr Jodi Davis and Dr Geoff Clarke, a sausage sizzle, balloon making, face painting for kids, complimentary 10-minute massages and spinal health checks to assist our community to get their happy back.

Top chiropractors on the job, on the move HEADACHES, sciatica and neck and back pain can ruin your everyday life. Pain and discomfort can stop you from enjoying even the basics of a healthy, active life, such as playing with the kids, working in the garden or enjoying your favorite hobbies. It can make you feel older than you really are, it can make you shorttempered with your loved ones, and really affect your overall quality of life. Fortunately, there is an answer. The USA-trained doctors of chiropractic at Adjust to Life Noosa have undergone 7 1/2 years of study, and

regularly attend continuing education seminars to provide you with the best available care. You’d also be hard pressed to find more caring chiropractors to look after your health. These chiropractors truly care about you, and will take the time to help you understand your condition, how you got here, and what you can do to decrease the chances of a relapse.

Down to a healthy spine WITH 70-90 per cent of Australians experiencing some type of back pain in their lifetime, the team at Noosa Chiropractic believe there’s no time like the present to ensure your back is at its happiest and healthiest. There are many ways to help support your spine and nervous system and at Noosa Chiropractic this is done through the combination of chiropractic adjustments and remedial massage. Chiropractic focuses on maintaining normal spinal function through removing interference to nerves, restoring proper alignment to the spine and improving mobility in joints. Remedial massage is complementary to chiropractic adjustments as it focuses on relieving soft tissue tension in the muscles, tendons and ligaments. Receiving chiropractic care with-

out addressing related soft tissue problems may cause areas of weakness or injury to recur and adjustments to the spine may not hold as long due to high muscle tension. Conversely, just receiving a remedial massage without correcting underlying structural and neurological stresses via chiropractic may limit improvements. Conveniently, at Noosa Chiropractic there is a remedial massage therapist available any time a chiropractor is working, making it easy to schedule appointments to maximise the effects of both therapies. Noosa Chiropractic has remedial massage therapist Jason and Dr Mimi and Dr Neil as chiropractors who are more than happy to discuss how massage and chiropractic will help maintain spinal health, maximise healing and promote longevity.

Di Henshall’s signature striped design can be seen in homes through Noosa, Brisbane and throughout Australia.

The detail behind the designs

One of Di Henshall’s designs where colour, texture and lighting come together to create an inviting space.

DI Henshall has been in the interior design industry for many years, with her first job after graduation designing showrooms, exhibitions and kitchens for the Middle East, far-east Asia, Canada and northern Africa. After launching Di Henshall Interior Design in 1988, Di has gone on to become one of Noosa and Brisbane’s most well-known interior designers. Real Estate Lifestyle took five with Di to find out a little more about the women behind the designs.

bydesign WITH DI HENSHALL

Tell us more about what Di Henshall Interior Design can do. We are like an architectural practice, only we just work on the interior of buildings. So we design, draw, manufacture and specify everything to do with the inside of a building, whether it is for a shop, hotel, restaurant, house or apartment. People come to us when they need an entire house designed, often right down to soft furnishings and artwork, or when they just need a new shop front or a kitchen makeover. Our projects are so diversified life is never dull around here. Can you tell me about a typical day in your working life? We work as a team, so there is a lot of interaction between all of us. We usually meet, either individually or as a group, in the mornings to assess our priorities for the day - we are usually up against impossible deadlines, so priorities shift continually. Emails come flooding through every night, 28 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 21 May, 2015

some of our clients and suppliers are in different time zones so there is always a truckload of mail to get through. I will often meet one or more of the design team in separate meetings to discuss design development. I spend a great deal of time sketching ideas, selecting fixtures and working on the minutiae of design details. Invariably there is a site inspection on one or more of our jobs, some of them are in other areas, which means I could be in Melbourne, Brisbane, Noosa or Sydney on any given day. What is an average budget spend for a kitchen, bathroom, or house? I could myself into deep trouble here. I truly couldn’t guess the answer because every project is so different, but I can tell you that bathrooms can be just as expensive as a kitchen in some cases. We have had budgets of $10,000 for a room fit-out and over $100,000 for a room, every client’s needs/ desires are very individual.

Bathrooms are about the same timeframe, people think because they’re usually smaller that they are easier, but they can be very tricky. To renovate a whole house can take up to three or four months, or longer depending on site conditions, size, etc. What is the process when people want to get a quote? To get a quote, you need a design. To get a design, you need to know an awful lot of things. The brief, the client meetings, the site inspection, trades meetings, sourcing of materials, fabrics, furniture, fixtures and fittings all take an enormous amount of time and effort.

Budget property measures hailed THE Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) has welcomed measures outlined in the Federal Budget that will benefit the property market and help the many small business owners within the property profession. In addition, the REIQ said they were pleased the treasurer did not make any changes to concessional tax arrangements and negative gearing, ensuring stability would continue in the property investment and rental sector. Two key measures were announced: small business with an annual turnover of less than $2 million will benefit with a lower tax rate, dropping from 30 per cent to 28.5 per cent and all items purchased for the business, up to $20,000, will be immediately 100 per cent tax deductible, a measure designed to encourage investment in business assets and put money back into the economy. REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said many real estate agencies were small businesses and they would benefit from these budget measures. According to the REIQ, the Queensland residential real estate

Building boom well backed THINGS are looking up for the building and construction industry following a spike in building approvals and budget measures to help stimulate the economy. In a statement from Master Builders, building approvals in Queensland’s resource-rich regions have spiked in what they describe as a “possible turnaround” for the market. “The figures for March, recently released by the ABS, show resource regions got the first good news since 2012,” the statement said. “The Sunshine Coast and Darling Downs also achieved a strong period of growth after a couple of quiet months.” Master Builders deputy executive director Paul Bidwell said he was hopeful the figures indicated the beginning of a “turnaround” in regional economies that had been lagging for the past three years. “The figures clearly indicate that the market in Mackay and Central

Master Builders Queensland is hoping the latest statistics from the ABS show the industry is on the brink of a "turnaround". Queensland improved for the month of March,” Mr Bidwell said. “However, when you compare the yearly figures, both regions are still down Mackay by 57 per cent, and Central Queensland by 52 per cent.” According to the ABS statistics, total dwellings approved for construction in Queensland increased by eight per cent over the month (seasonally adjusted). Year-on-year, total dwelling approvals were up 15 per cent to March. The increase has been largely attributed to multi-unit approvals which increased 17.6 per cent over the month, seasonally adjusted.

This brings the total approvals for multi-unit construction for the past 12 months to 41,370 - a record high, while the Sunshine Coast recorded an increase of 27.4 per cent to a total of 367 approvals for the month. Multi-unit approvals have been gradually increasing their share of overall approvals for the past two years.

The REIQ said they supported measures introduced in the latest budget to police existing legislation pertaining to foreign investment in property. In the budget, third parties, such as lawyers, accountants or real estate agents, who knowingly assist in any breaches will also face civil and criminal penalties,

including fines of $42,500 for individuals and $212,500 for corporate breaches. “In our experience, real estate agents are law abiding members of the community who understand that they must act within the law and the REIQ agrees with the policing of legislation,” Ms Mercorella said. 201519004-ACM19-15

Overwhelming response! “Thanks Noosa Today – the level of genuine enquiry we have had on this fantastic new development, “Kalani” on Gympie Terrace in Noosaville, has been overwhelming! This is a fabulous development and your paper obviously reaches the clientele who appreciates a luxury, river view opportunity in the renowned landscape of Gympie Terrace, Noosaville.”

They now make up 47 per cent of all approvals in the past 12 months - the largest share they have ever held. Master Builders is hoping the Federal Budget will boost building confidence on the back of subdued business sentiment in Queensland. Mr Bidwell said in relation to the 1.5 per cent tax cuts for small business, the construction industry is largely made up of small businesses. “Nearly one in five of Queensland’s small businesses are in the construction industry. These are mums and dads who are giving it a go."

House market bustling as investors buy in STATE Treasurer and Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations Curtis Pitt has welcomed the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) figures that show Queensland’s housing sector is going from strength to strength.

Chicks pitched perfect flicks By KATIE DE VERTEUIL IN what was another Chicks at the Flicks sellout, ladies of the shire flocked to Noosa 5 Cinemas last Wednesday to check out the longawaited sequel to Pitch Perfect. With a cinema erupting with laughter throughout the screening, Pitch Perfect 2, did not disappoint. While the storyline is basically just a continuation of its predecessor with no unexpected twists or turns, the stinging humour, sass and

musical talent shown by both the Baden Bellas and their competition kept the audience entertained. After a humiliating command performance at Lincoln Center, the Barden Bellas enter an international competition that no American group has ever won in order to regain their status and right to perform. Whether you’ve seen the first film or not, Pitch Perfect 2 is a lot of fun - a great chick flick with enough humour that even males will enjoy.

LIVETODAY

Paradise at the end of the road Life of

brine PHIL JARRATT

STRANGELY unable to sleep in this most peaceful of places, I got out of bed in the middle of the still night and stared into the night sky above the terraced rice paddies, listening to the soundtrack of frogs standing sentry over the gurgling waterways beneath the simple bungalow. As if the starry sky, unimpeded by manmade light, was not beautiful enough, I saw, for the first time in perhaps 40 years, the dance of the fireflies above the sawah, first a loner, then a couple, then a group carving graceful arcs before flying too high and blending into the starscape. I was mesmerised, and I thought immediately of our friend Lelia Lewis’s poetic description of the rustic heaven she found here in the 1950s: “It was a peaceful, beautiful island. You didn’t have the malls or the hotels back then. The flutes that you’d hear at night, those liquid notes ... and oh, the fireflies! We’d go out walking in the dark night, knowing each of the few vehicles that might come by, and you’d just see fireflies and the stars.” You would still see fireflies in Bali when I arrived 20 years later, but today there is almost nowhere far enough away from the sprawl to detect the island’s secret, magical, natural world. Johnny and Cath Blundstone’s Bali Eco Stay, high in the foothills of Mount Batukaru, is “almost nowhere”. I have waxed lyrical about the Blundstones’ little piece of paradise in these pages before, but five years since Noosa’s friendliest waiter, his bride and young son Huey came to rest at the end of the road, and four years since I first wrote about them for the Australian media, I

Bali Eco Stay, view from the spring. am back for a progress report for the new edition of my Bali book, to see how the Swiss Family Blundstone is coping with the splendid isolation. The short answer is very well, thankyou, but before we get into that, for the benefit of readers who may have only recently discovered the extraordinary sensory once-a-week delight of this space that masquerades as a surfing column, let me recap on the Blundstones. About eight or nine years ago, Johnny felt the need to dramatically change his lifestyle and lit out for the Outback to see what the next chapter might hold. Over a campfire in Kakadu one night, Norm and Linda vant Hoff told Johnny, Cath and Huey about their mountain in Bali, and the jungle plot where they shared their experiment in sustainable living with a small number of interested tourists. “Why don’t you come over and take a look,” said Norm. “You might find something for yourself.”

The Blundstones found plenty of interest, but nothing that might change their lives, other than Norm and Linda’s own Sarinbuana Lodge, which wasn’t for sale. On their last day in Bali, the lodge’s cook, Mini, showed them a plot of her family’s land nearby, which she said might be leased. But surely there couldn’t be room on the mountain for two eco-lodges? Over dinner that night, Norm shrugged and said: “The more people running sustainable businesses on the mountain, the better it will be for all of us.” Bali Eco Stay opened in 2010, with Mini running the small restaurant and just a few bungalows scattered around the rice terraces. As I reported back then, the biggest single investment in this resort was not the infinity pool with floating bar but a Pelton wheel hydroelectric generator to enable the Blundstones to power most of the lodge from the adjacent waterfall. Since then the generator has been upgraded, a few bungalows have been added, Cath’s permaculture farm has flourished, the fish farm has struggled a bit and termites ate

PIC FOR ILLUSTRAT

The Blundstones at Bali Eco Stay. the family’s own home in 18 months, a setback that Johnny says would have killed the business in Australia, but in Bali there is always a way around every problem. The lodge is still not quite totally off the grid, but the new generation of solar that doesn’t require direct sun should get them over that hump. Huey has discovered that being Jungle Boy is not always all that he had hoped, but he is coping well, and enjoying home schooling with an English tutor. All in all, life on the mountain is good, very good. And quiet, very quiet. In the small party I took up the mountain last week was architect Judy Bray, a friend of ours who has spent a lot of time designing boutique resort properties in Thailand. She could not believe what the Blundstones had achieved in just five years, nor how well they had engineered the tricky slope to blend their structures so perfectly into the natural environment. With a sketch pad and a traveller’s paint set, she documented the place from every angle, and refused to leave our Harvest Bungalow or Mini’s incredible cooking until I organised for us to make the descent to the coast on mountain bikes, with plenty of photo stops along the way. Bali Eco Stay is simply exquisite, and exquisitely simple. I’m going back in a few weeks to sit in a corner and write all day, then watch the fireflies all night. Can’t wait.

Drysdale Funerals flew the flag for the Cancer Council on Friday at their inaugural Biggest Morning Tea event on Friday 15 May.

Caramel cupcakes takes cake By JOLENE OGLE THE inaugural Great Noosa Bake Off went off without a hitch as local bakers and cupcake makers gathered at Drysdale Funerals Tewantin for the judging of the best cakes of Noosa on Friday 15 May. While there were many worthy contenders, Leanne Brandon took out the top honour with her caramel cupcakes with caramel buttercream and salted caramel drizzle, taking home a new espresso machine and $50 IGA voucher. Other entries included Sweet-

ness Contained’s gluten-free chocolate cupcakes and Mysaka Cakes’ white chocolate mud cupcakes; all of which were delicious. The event raised over $600 for the Cancer Council’s Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, with every taste-tester donating a gold coin for the pleasure. Event organiser Samantha McKiernan said the day was a great success. “I’m just amazed at the support from the community and the generosity of people,” she said.

Danny McAuliffe, who recently moved to Doonan, enjoyed a plate of delicious sweet treats.

Kale and hearty Brussels sprouts KALE is the latest vegetable to join the ranks of superfood along with the likes of quinoa, oats and goji berries, but what about the original superfood, the humble Brussels sprout. Loved by parents and loathed by children, the Brussels sprout was the one food you had to eat to get dessert. But the round green vegetable is making a comeback with the resurgence of raw, healthy diet bringing with it vitamin C and K, plus folate, omega-3 fatty acids and a host of nutrients. No wonder our parents wanted us to eat them. The days of simply steaming Brussels sprouts and plonking them on the plate next to a steak are over, with a host of interesting and delicious recipes for Brussels sprouts now available. We’ve collected some of the best to help showcase how delicious these vegetables can be. Wok-fried Sprouts Simply cut your Brussels sprouts into quarters. Cover with a drizzle of rice bran oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. Heat a wok to high heat and add a splash of rice bran oil. Throw in the Brussel sprouts and toss for about two minutes or

until the cut sections of the vegetable are charred. Serve with lamb and a mint and pea salad. Honey Roasted Sprouts Trim the ends of the sprouts and take off any yellow outer leaves. Mix the sprouts in a bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on a sheet pan and drizzle with honey then pop into the oven for about 40 minutes. Take the sprouts out of the oven when they look caramelised on the outside but tender on the inside. Sprinkle with a little more salt and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and serve alongside your favourite roast. Sprouts with garlic, onion and bacon Into a pan place diced bacon, a thinly sliced brown onion and two cloves of smashed garlic. Cook over medium heat until the onion browns a little. In another pan, heat two cups of chicken stock and throw in the sprouts. Boil until tender and then take them out, drain and add to the pan with the bacon and onion. Brown the sprouts and then put the mix into a serving bowl. This is great to serve at a backyard barbecue alongside charred steaks and lamb racks. 1181094-CG16-15

Under 9 Fins 25 d St Andrews 20 HUNTER rose to the occasion, leading by example, punching the ball up through the centre and providing good strength at the breakdown. Mack worked hard all game to get the ball out with some sneaky runs and pinpoint passes. The Quenchers Team Spirit award went to an ecstatic Remy, who showed much improvement in ball security. He took big runs going forward and would give Usain Bolt a run for his money when he runs on and off the interchange bench. Louie and Saatchi again gave 100 per cent, saving numerous tries with their lightning speed and horizontal tackling ability. Saatchi’s try came from a break straight up the centre to score under the posts and Louie got a hattrick of tries and his last try in the dying seconds of the match to take the side to victory. Connor also scored a good try. Next week, the Fins have a bye, the side is looking at no training Friday afternoon and instead training on Saturday 23 May at the Pirate Park, Noosaville, with a sausage sizzle to finish. More information later in the week, train-

Under 9 Fins at last weekend's game. ing is still on Monday 4pm. Domino’s Pizza Player of the Week - Mack Under 10 Reds 22 drew with St Andrews 22 AN outstanding game from both teams. St Andrews with all the ball early led 17-nil however the Noosa boys are made of stern stuff and courageously fought back to level at 17 all. St Andrews again proved worthy opponents to hit the lead at

22-17. However, Noosa again dug deep to eventually level up just on full time at 22 all. Matt Cashman scored a hattrick with Jack Caspers grabbing the other try. Well played lads, it was a tremendous team effort. Domino’s Pizza Player of the match - Matt Cashman Under 10 Fins 10 drew with Brothers Wolves 10 A MUCH-IMPROVED Broth-

ers outfit brought their A game to Peregian Springs and caught the Fins a little off guard. That said, the boys were determined not to lose and fought every step of the way to ground out a gritty draw. Sensational defence from Sam and Kye were the highlights for Noosa. Try scorers were Jackson and Fletcher. Well done boys. The Under 10s squad remain undefeated for 2015. Domino’s Pizza player of the match - Sam Lambert. Under 11 Fins 24 d Flinders 19 THREE out of three for the Fins with a hard-fought, sometimes fierce, encounter against a determined opponent. The match result went down to the wire, but could have been settled earlier but for three hold ups on the Flinders try line. Heroic performances from all the boys. Try scorers: Jarrah Charlesworth (2), Noa Penitani, James Gelling Conversions: Jarrah Charlesworth (2), Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match: Joe Siemon.

Women in League dominates By TRACI HOZIER ROUND 9 NOOSA PIRATES JUNIOR RUGBY LEAGUE UNDER 7 WHITE THE Caboolture Snakes came to play today but were no match for the mighty Under 7 Whites. The boys again displayed great try line defence with the Snakes prevented from scoring a number of times by desperate tackles. Off loads and intercepts were also a regular occurrence. The try scoring was shared around with tries to Lukas Byers, Jai Bruggy, Sam Proctor and Rhy North. Cooper Drinnan crossed for a double and Bailey Drinnan scored a hat-trick. Cooper Ward powered forward all day and Will Macrae was heavily involved with some super runs. Cooper Drinnan was named man of the match today and a special mention to Bailey Drinnan for man of the match at last week’s game. UNDER 7 YELLOW Pink, blue and yellow were the colours for today. The side celebrated ‘Women in League’ on home turf and the U7 Yellow Pirates were very enthusiastic to get the day rolling against Caboolture. Defence has improved for the boys this week with some impressive tackles, which were paired off with a much stronger attacking game. Our player of the match, Cooper Payne was on fire as he led the charge in the tries department, along with Lachlan and Jaxon as they cut through the Snakes defence. Hayden, Jacko, Charlie, Brandon and Beau wrapped up their opposition with some determined tackling. Coach Tim Payne was proud of the tremendous efforts the boys all put in today. Their manager attributes it to the added colour ‘Pink’they were all wearing. UNDER 8 YELLOW The Caboolture Snakes ventured north into Pirate territory. An outstanding effort by all the players with the game running end to end and try for try. Clearly the coaching staff is focusing on teamwork with off loads and support play noticeably improved. Locking those arms in tackles and ongoing drills at training is helping with locking up the ball. The regular under 8 players were once again helped out by a number of under 7 players eager to show them up. Pierce was back from a couple of weeks off and was looking for work in defence and running hard up the middle at every opportunity. Zeke and Lincoln were running with blinkers on and hitting the defence line hard with every run. After an earlier dropped ball over the line, Lincoln was rewarded with a try. Joe and Lachlan were outstanding in defence and were consistently first into each tackle tying up the

larger Caboolture boys until teammates could assist. Zahn’s improved ball control in attack along with his ability to side step is seeing him improve in confidence every week. It is a pleasure to watch the teamwork and cohesion between them all. It is reflected in the consistent improvement each week. UNDER 9 BLUE Today the side had their ‘Women in League’ round at home. The mighty Pirates played two games against Caboolture, the boys had the best games of the season, winning both games. Awesome defence by the whole team, our attack against a much bigger team was outstanding, scoring plenty of tries. Man of the match went to Stoan Condon with an excellent effort and much improved performance. Big thanks to all the mums, sisters, aunties, grandmas for your support for this great day. And thanks to the parents that helped out with games marshalling, time keeping and canteen. UNDER 10 BLUE U10 Blue played a good game against Caboolture. The Caboolture defence was very strong and Noosa found it hard to get into their attacking zone. However, after letting a few tries in the first half they put in an awesome effort in defence in the second half with one try each. Ivan, Joel, Erik and Jack did very well playing hooker and halfback in each half with some good organising and running the ball themselves at times. A good effort by Erik seeing the defence on the right side short and scoring. Caleb, Harry, Nancy, Arlo, Tammin, Liam, Danyal and Charlie had strong runningand defence. Jake was solid and combined very well with Daniel which led to a goodrun down the wing. Well done to Erik who earned player of the match. UNDER 10 YELLOW The boys played against a physical Caboolture team at home this week . The opposition jumped out of the blocks and put a couple of early tries on the scoreboard. In the second half, the Pirates really responded and worked their way back into the game to finish the better side. Riley had some strong runs, Caleb also was running strong. Charlie Cook tackled hard and Jed was busy at halfback. Charlie Bond ran hard up the middle and Jordan also played well. Jake had some runs up the wing and Dylan was always there at dummy half. UNDER 11 BLUE U11 Blue made the trip to Bribie Island to take on Bribie White where we had a challenging game against a good defensive side. Too many errors costing the side on the scoreboard today. Chanse is always versatile and reading the play well, making him the standout for player of the match.

The Noosa Junior Pirates running on with pride to support the Women in League round. UNDER 11 GOLD On a gusty and damp Saturday, Noosa U/11 Gold made the obligatory trek south, to the land of Kawana. After an injury delay and a full safety inspection, the whistle blew and the first round began. The boys choosing to kick first and put themselves on the defence early. Kawana managed to get a quick piggy back, twice and put themselves in a quick scoring position. Full credit to the entire team, it is the only time they saw the white line for themselves. The only other time was when they were in their own goal watching Noosa’s conversions. Enter round two. Our Most Valuable Player this week went to Zak Crozier. Zak played an awesome first half, then paired with Happy in the second half to bust them open with nearly every touch, mostly with one boot to the disgust of our first aid officer. Welcome back Ethan Axe Hozier, watching you defend so well is equivalent to being front seat at a Paul Dwyer concert. Your defensive and attacking pairing with Antonio is like watching an Olympic swimmer in the 1500m get the Gold. Well done to you both for taking on the middle so well. Our game was filled with many highlights from all the players. Kanga continued to bounce and spring his way through everything. Cooper found himself a new home close to the middle and didn’t look out of place as he barged onto the ball. Flash Ollie continues to probe and impeccably chooses the right time to send himself on a run. The White Boys are like watching 12 rounds of a heavyweight fight. They don’t give up on anything and anything

they might miss they comeback twice as strong, chew it up and send it everywhere. Ashton worked well at running through the holes and saved a few certain tries on the edges. He also did well not to blow a gasket when a few dubious blows of the whistle went against him. Cade, the quiet achiever continues to go about his business on his right edge, finding himself where he needs to be throughout the game offering blistering speed and healthy defence. Lastly, to the anchor of the pack, Happy Harry. We’ve all followed and marvelled over many years at the many outstanding things this kid is capable of. Every week regardless of his growing pains, he turns up and gives it some and then a nudge more. Happy is our anchor, not only because of his sporting ability but the way he conducts himself among his team on and off the field. Thanks also to Zane O’Grady and Ben Upton for helping the side out today. You boys did a terrific job backing up for a second game. Lastly, a shout out to our good mate, Dunny Breath. We’re all missing you, especially your pranks. We can’t wait to have you back. Get well soon, dude. Congratulations to the boys and their families. UNDER 14 BLUE Today, we played Nambour, it wasn’t the best game from us, probably our worst game in two years. But you boys didn’t stop trying. It’s good to have this happen, you can only improve from this. Man of the match went to Clayton Townsend and also great effort from Ryan Baker and Jamie Gollagher. So next week, let’s play better and play as a team.

42 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 21 May, 2015

TO BEGIN this week’s report, let’s start with the exciting news that Shinae and Riley have been selected to play for Queensland at next year’s state titles in January. Congratualtions guys!

Another week and the Noosa teams all gave their best at Caboolture and saw the Under 15s play the Cavaliers. After taking the early lead, they hung on for a 6-5 victory, Shinae, Dylan and Callum all pitched while Shinae caught a centre field fly. Riley and Charles both got home twice while Jacob and Shinae got home once each.

The game saw six errors in the field, and I saw training Sunday. This hopefully will improve next week. The Under 17s had mixed fortunes with the White’s losing to Cav’s while the Blacks had a 16-7 win against the Demons. Jarred hit two 3 baggers and advanced 10 base runners, while Emma advanced 9 runners. In the men’s, we lost to Cavs 11-4 - not a

bad result with all the juniors playing. Pat took two catches and Riley picked up one. Meanwhile, Waz and the crew had two games at Noosa in the mixed seniors and both games were played in good spirits as some of the players use this as a training session for the Qld Masters in August.

Footy over four decades IT MAY take two teams of 18 players to make magic on the footy field, but one of our local clubs has been doing that for the past 42 years. The Cooroy/Pomona and District Australian Rules Football Club continue to be a proud and successful club in our community, and this season isn’t any different. The Demons proudly wear the blue and yellow colours wherever they go, and an amazing committee of volunteers continues to actively promote health, fitness, teamwork and fun among their players, families and supporters. Club registrar Sue Hobbs says it’s the development of younger grades that feeds the club’s success. “We like to think we’re one of the friendliest clubs around. So many families have come to play here and have stayed. It’s part of our Demons culture and that’s what makes a successful footy club I think,” Sue said. “We have with junior teams from under 6s through to under 17s, competitive seniors teams and we roundoff with our entertaining and slightly slower-paced Masters team. The Demons, like all clubs need help to keep things rolling by attracting sponsors to the club, and recently they welcomed their newest one in the form of Bendigo Bank. Having recently opened its Pomona Agency in town to join its very successful Cooroy Community Bankbranch, Sue, the 2015 committee and players welcomed manager Geoff Edwards to training last week to spend time with those who make the magic happen. “We’re extremely grateful to Geoff and his

Geoff Edwards from Bendigo Bank joins players and committee members of the Pomona Cooroy Demons team at Bendigo Bank for sponsoring us in 2015. Their contribution has assisted us in providing up- to-date training and game day equipment for our teams. It’s also great to be sponsored by those who are as passionate about our community as we are and give so much back,” Sue added. Geoff Edwards said he saw the sponsorship of the Demons as a great fit. “I’ve had a blast getting to know club members

these past few months. The Demons are made up of great people who have built their club from the ground up. From the playing fields to the clubhouse and everywhere in between, the club is filled with energy and pride. We see this sponsorship as a great way to support the club now and in the seasons ahead,” Geoff said. If you would like further information about the Cooroy/Pomona and District Australian Rules Football Club, contact Sue Hobbs on 0410 065 004 to find out more.

JACK 1184815-LB21-15

Noosa Lions Match Report NOOSA was guaranteed two victories to start the week-end with the Friday night games featuring head-to-head battles between the two Noosa women’s sides and the two Noosa Over 35 sides. Two very competitive games resulted in relative youth winning out over considerable experience as the Noosa Blue sides claimed the win in each of the games. Also claiming victory on the night was Noosa thirds who had a hard fought 4-3 win over Caloundra. The fourth division was not so lucky after losing their in-form strike John Whiting through a dislocated knee early in the match. Johnno a stalwart of the club playing active roles on the committee and in coaching will be missed. After many great games in the miniroos (U6-U11) competition in the morning, the U16 girls kicked off Noosa’s winning way in the competitive age groups on Saturday afternoon. The 9-0 drubbing of Beegees keeps them level pegging with Maroochydore at the top of the table. Despite a determined comeback from Cooroora in the U17/2s Noosa came out victors (6-4) in the local derby to consolidate their position at the top of the ladder. The team has come a long way with coach Craig Thompson who has got the boys playing a mature possession game. While not happy with their performance, captain coach Ben Amson was pleased to get a last-minute victory in the Premier Reserve against rivals Maroochydore to hang on to second position. It took a deceptively quick set shot through the wall by Noosa to break the 1-1 deadlock, much to the chagrin of the Maroochy keeper who was certain his team mates in the wall had deviated to dodge the bullet. It was a different story in the main match with left back Chris Jancevski skilfully heading a well-placed corner into the back of the net early in their match against the black swans. The Swan’s mood seemed to get blacker with every goal scored against them with one annoyed Maroochy midfielder missing his intended target when his afterincident shove knocked the yellow card out of the referees upheld hand. Noosa came out with renewed purpose in the second half after going to the break only one goal in the lead. Captain coach Benny Cahn returning from a nasty blow to the eye three games ago, injected himself into the midfield in the second half. Noosa’s key players rallied around him and earned reward from good team play and an effective passing game. The final score an emphatic 6-2 victory consolidates Noosa’s spot in a congested top 4 , some 7 points in advance of their nearest rival.

TEWANTIN-NOOSA Bowls Club has been the ‘home’ of bowls on the Sunshine Coast, hosting the Queensland State/District sides and sharing the preliminary rounds with other Sunshine Coast clubs but very fortunate to be ‘hosting’ all the finals of the Queensland State Championships over the past two weeks. A big thankyou to Bowls Queensland for the privilege, especially to chairman John Dawson, events co-ordinator Ron Somerville and umpire co-ordinator John Kirkpatrick. Special mention to Bill and Steve (our greens staff) ably assisted by Schoey, also Marlene, Gary, the umpires, markers and the many volunteers who contributed to the success of both events. The side also managed some social bowls this week. Due to the State Championships, the men played triples on Wednesday in lieu of pairs and the winners were Graham Foster, Lindsay Barker and Gary Hughes (2+32). Runners-up: Alan Curtis, Mike Lowe and Ian McCallum (1+12). The Jackpot of $414 was not won and carries over. ’Friendly Friday’ winners were Kath Simmons, Gary Bond and Bryan Simmons. Runners-up, Gwen Steel, Dossie Buckley and Alan Laird. The jackpot of $164 was won by teams Bolesworth and Land.

Defiant rewarded

Autumn’s finest touch

By JACK MANGROVE

NOOSA TOUCH FOOTBALL ANOTHER perfect afternoon of autumn weather produced some mighty fine games of touch football last week. In the under-10s, Tewantin - although improving with each and every game - went down to GSLC. Sam, Ashton and Ty had great games. Amigos came away with the points against Sunshine, with Ben, Marcellus, Hayden and Nico playing well. Pink Thunder and GSLC played entertaining touch with Pink Thunder up by a couple of touchdowns at the siren. Bronte, Anna and Ella all played strongly. In another match that went down to the wire, Purple Strikers finished in front of Pinklets with Lilliana, Breanna, Alla and Angela all showing great teamwork. The under-12s afternoon got underway with the game between Sunshine Rippers and Glen’s Guns. The Sunshine Rippers girls dug deep for the entire game but the guns were firing this week. Seisa, Francesca and Harper all put in mighty efforts. STM earned their win over Warriors with Jesi, Cooper and Curtis leading the way for their teams. A gutsy performance by the Tewantin team was evident against formidable opponents in the Panthers. Parker, Jessica, Ruby and Lola all played well. GSLC (Gold) and SBST was the first match-up in the under-14/16 girls division and although GSLC gave their

WITH the wind gusting up in the latter part of last week, things were a pretty much shut down offshore. However, those that did make it out earlier in the week were rewarded with some great fish. North and Chardon’s reefs have seen some exceptional Spanish mackerel being caught. Floating pillies, livebaits, Micro jigs and metal slugs have all worked a treat. Longtail tuna, yellowfin tuna and mack tuna have also been on the chew. Off the bottom, jewies, snapper, pearl perch and sweet lip where all hitting the decks. Sunshine Reef has also been going off with a great mixed bag of reefies including coral trout, sweetlip, squire and tusk fish. With the wind and swell due to moderate later this week, a trip to the Banks or up to Double Island may well be on the cards. Expect to see good sized snapper, big pearl perch, cobia and the odd amberjack. In the river it has been all about the trevally. Woods Bay has seen some great catches with anglers getting great results on surface walkers and pop-

pers in the early mornings and late afternoon. As the day progresses, prawn profile soft plastic blades and paddle vibs have all worked on the fish as they feed a little deeper. Catches included big eye, giant, diamond, cale cale and golden trevally. Good sized bream tailor and the odd queenfish have also been in the mix. Out towards the mouth, school jewies, larger winter bream and mangrove jacks have all enjoyed fresh mullet, pillies and live baits as anglers battled the conditions over the weekend. On the Dog Beach and the Frying Pan, live yabbies and blood worms have been working well on whiting, flathead and bream. Brightly coloured soft plastics are another great way to target flat-

head, keeping in touch with the bottom is key as flathead lay in wait for a passing morsel. On the beach, Noosa’s North Shore has again fished well with the odd snub nosed dart taken off the beach - in fact there was a cracker last week that measured 92cm. Tailor are again featuring highly with beach fisherman as well as large winter bream and some nice sized jewies. Large pillies, squid and mullet strips have been the favoured baits with slugs cast out when the bigger schools move through. On behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures.

best SBST proved too strong. Abbey C., Jaidyn, Paris and Emily gave outstanding individual performances. In a nail-biting finish NDSHS 9s (green) scored the winning touchdown just before the full-time whistle with Chelsea, Tayla and Bella producing great games. NDSHS 10s were too strong for NDSHS 9s (blue) with Jerry-Lee, Ally and Maya all playing well for their teams. Sunshine Rebels were too strong in attack for NDSHS 8s (green) this week. Showing great skill during this game were Isabella, Lea and Charlie. In the last match of the round in this division NDSHS 8s (blue) tried hard but were no match for St Andrew's this time around with Rana, Zoe and Emma all producing first-rate games. Rounding out the afternoon we had the under-14/16 boys division with Dodgers giving their all against an impressive GSLC team this week. Reuben, Hayden, James S. and Jadyn were outstanding. The Illuminatis took the win over NDSHS 7 and 8s (blue). The Magic Touch put in a superb defensive effort against NDSHS 7 and 8s (green) with Jack, Liam and Tamatoa having stellar games. With the score locked at one touchdown apiece at half time, NDSHS 9s (blue) went on to take the game against NDSHS 9s (green). Steen, Jac and Chance all played well.

Tigers scrap past a defiant Aspley Tiger

talk JULIAN PITTS

The Fiona Winter Realty Noosa Tigers survived a minor scare on the road last Saturday before eventually overcoming Aspley by five goals in Brisbane. In what many believed would be a landslide victory for the Tigers, the game was still well and truly in the balance halfway through the final quarter. Senior coach James Gellie made some timely moves late in the game which certainly influenced the eventual result of the contest. The way in which the Tiger coaching staff swung Jed Mullen from back to forward and then back again proved a vital move in their favourable outcome. Aspley were troubling the Tigers overhead with some bigger bodies however the efforts and sheer willingness to impose himself on the contest again had Robbie Copeland as a standout. The Rococos Player of the Match is having an outstanding season for Noosa and to watch

some of his efforts displayed last weekend, I’m sure plenty of others can take a leaf out of Bushy’s book. Along with Mullins and champion rover Cubby Isles, they were easily Noosa’s best. Isles again just running the game out beautifully on a wing collecting some 38 touches on the way. Big ‘Roo’ Stewart across half-forward again keeps presenting and finished with three majors while youngsters Boardman and Rogers impressed once again also. All-in-all a win the Noosa

boys can tick off and now their names up for senior look forward to being back at selection, which is fantastic home against Caloundra this for the club. Saturday. Great to see plenty of girls Great to see star recruit pulling on the Noosa colours Brent Moloney back out there last weekend. Such a growing playing and getting through sport for girls. Ring girls unscathed and also a big coach Karen Carr on 0423 323 congrats to Tom Hedley on 323 for all the information on making his senior debut at the Noosa girls AFL. Don’t miss our second Tigers.

RICHARD MURRIHY

The season is now settled and all the changes to the different grades are complete. This means that we will start to see the true strength of our teams and where we need to improve. The girls in the Under 18’s suffered a

loss against Nambour but are continuing to a good showing and are learning from the experience. The Under 17 boys had a loss to Caloundra and unfortunately in this comp a bad day will result in this, as the top four teams are pretty strong. The Under 15’s came up against the Coolum under 15 team who are undefeated and had a loss. They will however, take a lot out of the game, as

to the level of improvement needed to compete against them is so high. The information highway was a bit slow this week and not all scores got through. Keep an eye out on the AFL website for the upcoming fixtures as they get updated and you should be able to catch some very good quality underage football. Richard Murrihy

Nippers showing the way Between the

flags RON LANE

AMID the hustle and bustle of the Noosa Food and Wine Festival activities that on Saturday morning surrounded the Noosa Heads SLSC, the Noosa Seahorse Nippers continued on their merry way. If you are wondering as to the success of this project you only had to mingle with the officials on Main Beach and someone could have taken the opportunity to introduce you to our visitors. There were 11 of them; all representatives from the Point Lookout Club on Stradbroke Island. The reason for their visit was to have an up close and personal look at the running and organisation of the Noosa Seahorse Nippers. Now in its third and very successful year, its reputation has spread all along the East Coast and everything being said is indeed very positive. Spokesman for the team Will Hagan, director of youth development for Point Lookout, said: “We are looking at starting a similar group back at our club, and we thought the best thing to do was to pay Noosa a visit. We think that the Seahorse is a great concept and we are very impressed with everything that we have seen. We are not the only ones looking at the program; people at Coochiemudlo are also looking and asking questions.” Following their time on the beach, Noosa Seahorse directors Steve and Nikki Mawby played host to a breakfast on the surf club verandah and

Representatives from the Point Lookout Club on Stradbroke Island. over coffee the questions came thick and fast. “The discussion with the delegates was indeed very good they never stopped asking questions. There were a lot of young people involved and we came away from the discussion feeling very positive about the morning,” Mawby said.

Picture: Supplied of the life savers who work with the children, both in the water and on the sand are only in their early teens; and they love it. "I think it’s great to be able to help and it also gives us a good feeling," one 15-old-girl said. Her mates agreed. Congratulations to all concerned

“They asked about everything; never missed a thing.” A big thank you to the volunteer life savers who gather in the car park at 6am to organise parking for the Seahorse families. Without this team, getting to the beach would be near impossible for some families. It is also interesting to note that a lot

While on the subject of Nippers, both Noosa and Sunshine Beach Nipper clubs have held their annual general meetings. All is looking well for the season ahead. Local parents now have good, well run clubs in which their children can start learning the basics of water safety. The Noosa meeting revealed that as a result of working in conjunction with Peregian there are now a total of 642 Nippers on the books. The successful running of this number is due mainly to a program structure originated by retiring junior activities chairman Dave Glassock, and activated by his support team of office bearers and parents. To David and indeed his wife Jenny, your many years have been full of positivity, and your company our pleasure. The flags for the volunteer life savers may be down for the winter months however surf education is still ongoing. At Noosa, education/ training manager Greg McLaughlin continues to take surf education into our schools and IRB training continues. For Sunshine Beach they also have started another IRB course with four drivers and three crewies in training. Club captain Scott Summers said: “Everything is going well for us; all very positive. We have just had our biggest annual dinner and trophy presentation night for five years. Early June we take delivery of a new IRB Thundercat and this week we conduct our annual gear inspection with branch officials. All looking good for next season.”

Life savers’ big night season and Nick Sloman won Competitor of the Year and the Outstanding Achievement award. “Nick Sloman has had an outstanding year,” Craig said. “He’s claimed a number of state and national titles and he’s a fitting recipient for our highest award.” Other winners on the night included Jonty Redwood for Nipper of the Year and the Outstanding Achievement award, Julian Ashmore for Patrol Captain of the Year, and Most Improved was awarded to Tristan Collins.

Senior season’s in full swing By RANDALL WOODLEY THE next round of the Queensland Senior’s Cricket fixtures will be played at Tewantin next Saturday 23 May. Senior Cricket is designed for players aged 60 and over and is one of the fastest growing areas of cricket in Australia. Next Saturday, the Sunshine Coast team will play a combined Redlands/ Logan team at Dale Officer Oval, McKinnon Drive; while at Read Park, the Brisbane team will play Wide Bay/ Country. Both matches will commence at 10am and will be played over 45 overs. Last Saturday, the Sunshine Coast team narrowly lost to Wide Bay/Country at Bundaberg. The Sunshine Coast players practice every Tuesday at Ma-

roochydore Cricket Club at Buderim (3pm). Other teams in the competition are Gold Coast and Lockyer Valley. In June, an Australian over-60 team will tour England playing three Tests against the old enemy as well as a number of county games. The team will include local cricketer Phil Drescher, who is the captain of the Sunshine Coast Seniors. If anyone is interested in seeing how the “gentlemen’s” game is played by the seniors come to one or both of the matches next Saturday. For more information about Senior Cricket, contact Gary Madsen on 5447 2265 or Randall Woodley on 5447 3559. Right: Sunshine Coast team at Bundaberg last weekend
